Maybe guidance from a good teacher, patience with yourself, and persistence (continuing to practice even when you're frustrated with your lack of progress). Meditation isn't for everyone but nothing you have said suggests that it isn't for you.
Luckily we don't have to use them. Go ahead and do a full page reload when the user navigates to another page. Go ahead and implement interactive elements using jQuery. It all still works just as well as it did in 2012.
People always love to invent mythic narratives about a golden age that was betrayed by its lesser descendents. It can be the Greeks mythologizing their ancestors, Marxists bemoaning how Stalin betrayed Lenin's legacy, or Java/Solaris partisans hating on Oracle.

The fact that the acquisition cast off a bunch of brilliant, distinguished, charismatic engineers who have every reason to further the mythmaking also plays into why we hear so much of it. But to give credit where it's due, it's given us this esteemable gem of a rant:

Basically everything on the desktop is dying. We still have a heavy C# gui and everyone thinks we're weird. We're due to be replaced with an SPA - good luck with that.
I hope this whole situation will help to show the absurdity of "cancel culture" - the less striking examples are no less ridiculous, it's always an anti-intellectual mob that doesn't even understand what they are against, running amok.
WARC is also used by the Webrecorder project. They made an app called Wabac which does entirely client-side WARC or HAR replays using service workers and it seems to have pretty good browser support, but I haven't really dug into the specifics.

To help contextualize this response: The entire opening of the article feels like an extremely heavy handed introduction to "Photography 103 - Focal Length and How to Use It" without ever really explaining focal length even while a basic understanding of focal length & "compression" remains relevant to the topic the article veers into.
He's always been a strong supporter of Putin, and is selling his property only because there was serious risk that it would have been seized. He, among other billionaires, contributed to keep Putin in power, so albeit not directly involved, he has his share of responsibilities.

Unfortunately, nothing currently beats Plexamp in terms of quality music listening, shuffle, smart playlists, etc.

You can still set up local login for Plex to avoid their auth on your own network or list of allowed IPs. It's not 100% what people want, but it's something.
My best guess would be that a few things are happening:

1. Russian Military Leadership is unwilling to risk their best equipment / personnel

This is a pretty radical war in that, yes, Ukraine is overmatched in almost every way, but they also have been provided some of the most advanced and modern anti air and anti tank weaponry by NATO countries. And it may not even be clear to Russia exactly what they have been provided.

2. Dissent Among Ranks

While we probably won’t know, at least not any time soon. Some of the reported incompetence of the Russian war effort seems too great to be true. I would not be suprised if there was some intentional stalling in the hope that Putin comes to reason.

3. Morale is Low

The Russian military waited a long time at the border. Were sent in, purportedly, without really knowing why or to what end, and then asked to kill people who they see as basically their own countrymen. Hard to fight when you don’t know what for, to what end, and geez, kind of seems like we are the bad guys here.

This war is going to test even the most nationalistic of the Russian military. I don’t know how much longer this can go on without a military coup.
I think that the readership is too broad. After running a meetup for a couple of years and being a leader/participant in other organizations, you need to have something which unifies a group. Otherwise there's no reason to hang out together.

Would you have a meetup of <insert newspaper here> readers? That's the breadth of topics covered by HN, and I just don't see it being unifying enough.
Is this what are are admiring about the Ukrainian people right now?
Not exactly but I find meditation really "painful".

I am more of the anxious side of things and being super focused on myself is very stressful. Sure I feel calmer afterwards but the process feels like a cold shower in winter.

The only times I found meditation enjoyable is in a group setting. Normally I am quite introverted and prefer to do most activities alone but here it is reversed.
Disconnect Bitcoin and crypto from USD and then we can talk about how right they are.

The entire crypto market is directly tied to the USD by way of Tether --- which maintains a $1 USD peg regardless of backing --- or rather the lack thereof.

This is the biggest fraud since Madoff.
I thought of some things to say in response to this but I'm late for a training I'm in. Hopefully I'll remember to come back here later.

The hysteria in attempting to harm Russia in all ways possible is just more of the mob mentality of cancel culture. People need to remember that there are many innocent people involved on all sides of this issue.
I am not certain this is such a great idea. I believe the CEO's thinking is the Ford EV stock would zoom up allowing him to borrow more money.

But imagine working at the gas powered division, morale would be low and you'd lose all your best people to other car companies so they could land a job with a real future.
> It seems that the Russian soldiers are making efforts to avoid attacking civilians directly. Counterexamples exist and could be explained by rogue units, incompetence, or hot-blooded revenge on local resistance.

They're hitting a lot of hospitals and civilian infrastructure. As per their typical operating procedures, c.f. Syria.
Qobuz markets itself first as a hi-res streaming service. However, it also offers FLAC purchases without DRM that are yours even if you don't continue to use Qobuz. Their selection is very large and might have more options for more well-known acts.
Spitballing here, 'Single Decision Principle?'

How about 'Don't Ask Me How?'
At the moment, given that the majority of open-source software is hosted on GitHub, perhaps GitHub releases (as in downloads from the releases tab) might be one such possible "alternative software repository". It's only missing an official "installer"; but there are a few unofficial alternatives like `wget` and `curl`. :)

----

I'm not endorsing GitHub, I'm quite neutral about it, however at the moment it does offer a "standardized" experience. So much so, that whenever I see a project announced on HN and the link takes me to a landing page, I immediately look for a GitHub link and switch to that.
IIRC, Java had difficulties during the late 90's and early 2000's for advanced desktop applications mostly because of performance. As time passed, although jvm implementation's performance improved, so did C++, multi-platform frameworks and other programming languages. Other phenomenons also occurred: Linux continued with a very small fraction and the desktop effectively turned into a duopoly of windows and mac and new developers shifted to web and mobile. You can clearly see that there are very few examples of new desktop packages that thrived recently, specially compared to mobile and web equivalents.

The development of the described scenario strongly devalued java's most advertised advantage, which was portability.

In foreign relations, the word is ambiguous.

For example, in early 20th (late 19th?) century, the UK recognized the suzerainty of China over Tibet.

It basically meant “British India’s borders end at the Tibetan border, and we won’t do business with anyone in the Tibetan side of the border without running it by the Chinese first.”

Then in the early 21st Century the UK recognized the sovereignty of China over Tibet in exchange for Chinese money to some international orgs.

But all that happened was the British position became more precise.

It’s a compromise word to recognize the reality in the ground, while kicking diplomatic issues down the road.

Parts of the modern day Indian/China border are referred to as the “line of actual control.”
Article doesn’t touch on this one, but a kindred question is “Is software engineering ‘engineering’?”
I guess you also missed Putin characterising Lenin's actions post-revolution as a mistake, and that the Russian Empire should move back to its pre-USSR borders? Or the prepared article that was mistakenly published crowing about the "final solution to the Ukrainian problem"?

Your selection of what to believe as the honest truth is pretty telling.
I've spent 3 years with C# professionally and greatly enjoyed them. That being said "one of the greatest computer languages ever created" is a bit of a stretch. Yes, it has a lot of nice features, relatively good ergonomy and in recent years, its openness has increased its viability a lot, but still. It's neither particularly innovative, nor does it allow you to do things you otherwise couldn't. It's no Erlang, Haskell, Assembly or something like that. It didn't pave the way for something like PHP did for the web backend or JS for the web frontend.

Also, I really apologize for nitpicking, but "RAM memory" is a tautology.
To be fair to SamReidHughes, almost none of that can be attributed to the fact that the household is missing a parent. Kids from single-parent households where the missing parent is missing through coincidence, such as by dying in an accident, perform at the same level as kids from two-parent households.
Because streaming makes more sense and provides far better metrics for artist compensation.
Very much the same experience.

The whole "They Are Just Go Templates" is a pretty pathetic cop out. Sorry, but it's true. If I'm trying to use Hugo, I don't want to be digging in Go docs at the same time, and as you point out, you can't know things like scopes and what Go variables might actually be available.

And yes, most of the actual syntax is simply not documented.

I subsequently gave up on Hugo entirely and ported my Hugo sites to Next.js, which is in fact documented--and can work well with TypeScript, so complex pages are fully strongly typed, which makes work in an IDE a breeze.
I hated these places. The one I walked into was literally the opposite of the vibe of the kind of bookstore I like, whether it's independent or even a Barnes and Noble. It was a soulless operation, where they follow you around the store if you don't look rich and in a hurry to leave. Good riddance.
There is no meaningful Russian air presence in western Ukraine. No good reason not to establish an NFZ there. To avoid conflict, stay west of the Dnieper. Appeasement does not work.
Oh, that's too bad. Tolkien's early work was done explicitly for his children, and she's the last of them.

She was never nearly as important to it as her brother Christopher was, but she seemed a good person.
Kind of a buried lede but:

>Days after President Biden spoke to Mr. Xi in a video summit on Nov. 15, senior American officials decided to present intelligence on the Russian troop buildup around Ukraine to senior Chinese officials to try to get them to persuade Mr. Putin to stand down. The Americans spoke to Qin Gang, the Chinese ambassador in Washington, and to Wang Yi, the foreign minister, among others. In a half-dozen meetings, including one in Washington between U.S. officials and the Chinese ambassador just hours before the Russian invasion, Chinese officials expressed skepticism that Mr. Putin would invade Ukraine, American officials said.

>After one diplomatic exchange in December, U.S. officials received intelligence showing Beijing had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that the United States was trying to sow discord and that China would not try to impede Russian plans and actions, American officials said.

… is an interesting strategy. I would assume that US officials knew the Chinese would pass this information to the Russians, right?
Agreed. The blog doesn't seem like a very thought out examination, and I expect most of the HN replies are just debating the title.

For me, the biggest con of SPAs is lack of SEO.
Yeah, I never got how that was supposed to work, exactly. Like, if I just bought a TV, I'm probably not going to buy another one for a while, so, don't keep showing me all the TVs I didn't buy. At least show me stuff like sound bars, mounting hardware, TV stands, etc. Even with consumables, where it makes sense to show me literally the exact same thing I just bought, maybe wait a while until those things might have actually been, you know, consumed?

As always, I'm sure the explanation for why their search engine and recommendations are so bad is either that they don't think it would make them enough more money to be worth it to improve them. An even more sinister thought would be that they think it would make them less money to give consumers better recommendations. I'm not sure which it is, TBH.
You disagree? Is that not an accurate quote?
> Despite the increased chances of admission, black students make up a modest 5% of the (e.g.) Harvard student body compared to Asian students and white students at 13% and 40% respectively.

The numbers are a little misleading because 25% of the students have their race listed as "non-resident alien", aka no race assigned.

Removing that group and adjusting the other percentages accordingly gives:

* 55% White (61.5% of US population)

* 20.4% Asian (5.4% of US population)

* 12.2% Hispanic (17.6% of US population)

* 7% Black (12.3 % of US population)

* 4.7% Biracial (3.1% of US population)

I was just curious about the numbers and how they stacked up to the national average, and thought others might be as well.
The full text is even better. Talks about "solving the Ukrainian question" which sounds like a direct reference to Hitler's "Final Solution to Jew Question" or whatever that was called.
In all fairness, "invade assuming the people will chant you to power" sounds a lot like GWB statregy back in 2003... We made lots of jokes back then.
They were arming themselves with missiles and the Turkish drones during that time.
I'm sorry, I'm not quite following:

Employees do clean these machines every day, but because of how it's designed they don't need to do so?

Is this something kind of like: I can change my motor oil every 500 miles my car is driven, but according to the manufacturer I don't need to do so that often?
This is really amazing news
We agree about at least this much: this is, indeed, how email works.
Fallujah and Mosul were pretty bad in terms of city levelling. We just don't like to remember them, or think about depleted uranium dust causing birth defects, or what happened to the refugees, or a million other things.

They didn’t mention how many branch units they have, but the ALU count is identical to X1.

They have half the SIMD units, but each unit is twice the width which increases instruction density on high performance workloads.
The first link is a single male patient who claims meditation provoked his psychosis. Other people suffering from psychosis have blamed, lets see, off the top of my head - wifi signals, chemtrails, their gang stalkers, fluoride, the CIA, aliens, lizard-men, etc. Is there any reason to believe a random psychotic person when they make a claim about meditation, versus when they make the claim about wifi signals?

The case analysis a few results later find a total of 28 people in the literature who have made the claim, with 14 of them having precipitating factors such as "like insomnia, lack of food intake, history of mental illness, stress, and psychoactive substance use", which almost certainly have a much larger effect on psychosis than...sitting still and thinking a certain way. If I had a heart attack while meditating, I don't think I would jump to the conclusion that meditation is dangerous for people with heart conditions.
There are more options than just monopolies or doing it yourself. Find a person or organization who does it and does it well, and use them.

Do you think, for instance, that the FreeBSD project just runs email off of a technically inept service like outlook.com? Or would ever?
There were none left….
I agree!

I recently read this article about how everybody misunderstands the SRP and uses it wrong: http://www.softwareonthebrain.com/2022/01/the-misunderstood-...

Notably it was retweeted by the author of the SRP himself: https://twitter.com/unclebobmartin/status/148522452187556249...

Now neither of them went this far with it: but if we have a programming principle that nobody understands or uses right, is it really all that useful? Maybe it at least shouldn't be the first one in SOLID?
Nice work.

Few days back I was trying to decide a colr theme which woul work for both light and dark mode. Would this be able to solve that ?
Images are often stacked too to achieve proper focus throughout the picture. A lot of photos you see aren't physically possible to get in 1 shot.

I've played roulette many times, and yes I agree that doing it with skill on a fair wheel would be impossible. I thought we were talking about potentially rigged games, and just as I couldn't roll fair dice to the same number 20x in a row I'm aware that dodgy dice can be made, so why couldn't a dodgy wheel (or accidentally dodgy by being so old that a noticeable pattern emerges) be made?
AVC is H.264, yes.

Accelerated video decode is often disabled by default on Linux versions of browsers and can be quite dependent on versions of drivers/mesa/X-vs-Wayland/etc.
An easy way to make your point is to do what "artistic types" in e.g. cartoons do to make a viewfinder to estimate a shot: use your thumbs and forefingers in front of your face to make a rectangular "window." Now recognize how much smaller this window is than your field of view.
From what I can tell, it sounds sort of like a simplified spreadsheet as a code library.
That was the first link that came up on ddg, but it's laughable to presume that vox isn't just as biased, just in the other direction. Here's a couple more on the subject. I suspect you won't find a left leaning source with this opinion because it would undermine one of the primary ideals behind modern progressive thinking, that all groups of people would magically achieve equity and equal representation across all domains if only presented with the same opportunities.

Some people just want to work at a decent company for reasonable pay, and aren't looking to get filthy rich busting their asses for a FAANG.

Bandcamp is absolutely a company I would've considered working for. I'm long past the point in my career where I care about a lottery ticket. They were profitable, big enough to be sustainable, but small enough to be nimble. The management seemed to make all the right noises regarding their values and motivations.

I'll take that over a massive tech company or a tiny startup any day of the week.

A pooling mechanism is needed. Additionally, the pooling entity would want to meet (or make sure the various fractional employers trying to insure "Hank" meet) federal ERISA requirements for the favorable tax treatment of paying a fractional employee's fractional health insurance premiums.

The next challenge is non-payment of premium. Lets assume Companies A, B, and C each respectively insure "Hank" respectively for 50%, 25%, 25%. They respectively pay $50, $25 and $25 per month in premiums to PoolingEntity. What happens when any of A/B/C fail to pay a premium? The insurance contract would eventually be terminated for non-payment (after a statutory notice period), and poor Hank would be back to being uninsured.

Technologically, I think it could be done. But the legal, regulatory, and administrative complexity would need to be addressed.

Separately, a great resource for reading up on where/how Americans get their healthcare coverage is the Kaufman Family Foundation. Many Americans have more than one source for their coverage. https://bit.ly/3KazKNN
> thought it was hacker lingo like "grok".

How is grok considered hacker lingo? I would think other people than hackers have read Stranger in a Strange Land.
The size of the lens is actually completely irrelevant. Anyone who has done any 3D work can tell you the size of the lens has absolutely no effect on perspective. The mathematical model of a camera in a 3D renderer doesn't have a parameter for lens diameter. There's no way to make an image appear as if it has been taken by a really tiny camera or a really huge camera. At the worst the huge camera will not physically fit in certain spaces.

All the size of the lens affects is how much light can come into the camera, which in turn affects the quality of the photo with less than ideal lighting conditions.
I was never initiated or dedicated myself to a specific practice. I can say today it was a mix of mindfulness and practical Vipassana.

I think one of the things people complain about when it comes to meditation is concentration. I was not one of those people. It came extremely natural to me.

All else being equal, switching to a longer lens won't make the relative size of the elements of the image change at all.

You can simulate the results just by cropping photos taken with the wide iPhone lens. There will be no difference between the perspective of a cropped iPhone picture and an uncropped picture with a longer lens.

Of course such cropping will be likely to throw stuff away from the borders of the image that you'd rather keep, because you composed before you cropped. To avoid losing stuff on the edges, you'd have had to stand further away from your subject, which happens naturally when you're shooting with a longer lens. But you could have stood further away, shot with an iPhone, and then cropped in, and the only difference between that and a "true" zoom lens is that it's probably blurrier because you are working with fewer pixels.

(the above is only true for rectilinear lenses, it's the linearity of the perspective that means that zooming == cropping)

The article is about how when a human looks at a scene, you'll see quite a wide angle, but when you take a photo that covers a similar angle to what you're perceiving, you end up with an image that seems to exaggerate the sense of depth that you had at the time. This is at least partly because human eyes aren't rectilinear; you can shoot with a non-rectilinear lens but then all the straight lines you expect... aren't.

A skilled artist can produce a scene with 1) straight lines 2) a similar field of view, and 3) "natural" depth, as in the Turner painting in the article. To do this you have to depart from linear perspective. You couldn't get Turner's painting just by standing further away; he's doing something rather more complicated.
I never understood these stores. Worth a visit if passing and have time to see what they have or if your looking for a present for someone and don’t know what to get. But I’ve never woken up and thought I need a four star product. The selection (particularly books) is too wide and shallow to be worth browsing.
