Or at the very least doesn’t mean what St. John of the Cross means by it.

When I took ascetical theology in seminary, my professor told us that if someone comes to you and says they’re undergoing the Dark Night, they probably aren’t. (Unless you for some reason happen to be the spiritual director of a contemplative order, but even then.) He wasn’t being flippant; it was just a recognition of the degree of spiritual progress needed even to arrive at that point.

It can be easy to confuse aridity or even unaddressed psychological issues for something like the Dark Night, but it does have a precise technical meaning in the mystical literature. It isn’t just “prayer is difficult for me right now.”

There are many American companies that capitulate to Chinese political pressure without even being owned by the Chinese. Tencent owns 2 of the top 5 biggest gaming platforms in the US, but the one that got accused of being too close to the Chinese is now owned by Microsoft.

I think the question is why is there an expectation that Tencent is somehow more nefarious than any other billion dollar conglomerate?
I think their products suck and are sleazy. I don’t think I’ll ever be in a position where I have the opportunity, and I’d work if I was starving, but I don’t want to work for a company that makes bad products as a result of a bad philosophy.

It’s nice to be a programmer and have options but I wouldn’t work with a company that makes such invasive software.
Has anyone here ever tried Waking Up app by Sam Harris? I am working through the intro course now and very much enjoying it and finding it helpful, but I don't have a good base reference to know if he knows his stuff. I am not interested in the spiritual side of meditation so much as the learning to be in my own head a bit more stably and acknowledge and understand my emotions/thought more productively.

Any advice would be appreciated.
"and being super focused on myself is very stressful."

Can you explain, what exactly is stressful to you, by focusing on yourself? Or is it just that you feel you want to move but you also want to be still?
It's partly doctrine, that's just what they do. Highly mobile AA traveling with the armor is their thing and why change up your process right in the middle of a big deployment (rhetorically, obviously).

The other reason is if things go south and the US/EU decides Putin is bluffing on the nukes, they'll for sure wish they had it because NATO aircraft would color the sky gray.
Yeah, I was going to point out that out when he talked about the portrait. It's not really about the focal length but about the distance you normally look at people (although your brain does a lot of compensation for wonky perspectives). Focal length doesn't change the perspective, but it just crops the image. Your feet changes the perspective.
Putting on a bit of a devils advocate hat - if you knew SOMETHING was going to happen in the space, wouldn’t it make sense to build the first thing in a way it helps your interest to help starve out alternatives or get a chunk of the traffic in a way you can use?

Can you give some more examples? Maintaining relationships with a bunch of specialists seems as time-consuming as doing it myself.

If you want to talk to contractors, go through an agency that handles that

For example, as a homeowner, I need various contractors maybe 2-3 times a year. It's a bit time-consuming but manageable; I can usually find good recommendations via the local Facebook group. I would often like somebody to "just handle this" for me, and presumably a good "generalist" PA could be able to do that.

Even if I had a specialized agency with a dedicated point of contact just for this, I'd need a dozen other agencies for a dozen other things, and that seems as exhausting as doing it myself.
There's a lot of scientific evidence for the benefits of mediation. You can ignore all of the noise about higher states of consciousness and suchlike and still receive documented benefits:

> just now they directly bombed near a hotel and train station, people trying to flee the country.

I've just read that the explosion near Kiev's train station (if that's what you're talking about) was due to a Russian missile that got intercepted by Ukrainian defense.

It would make zero sense for Russians to be using their weapons against anything non-military at this point given that, if reports are true, there's still plenty of Ukrainian military resistance to be dealt with.
Yes, that was option [3]. The problem is that glibc symbols are versioned and update fairly regularly, so your binary likely won't run on anything with a much older glibc, and glibc versions vary a lot across distros (e.g., some are much slower moving so use very old glibc).

To work around this you need to try to build on an old of a distro as possible, so you use only old symbols... but you don't want to build on an ancient compiler since it might not support the language version or compiler flags you need, so you first build a new old toolchain on the old distro against the old libc, or find a docker container from someone who has already gone though this pain.

Of course, this also means you can't use new libc features: libc is more than just the C runtime, it's also the shim layer between userspace and the kernel, so you might miss out on newer system calls (or have to write the wrappers manually, etc).

It gets even worse for C++.
Swing default appearance may look alien on windows, but I remember a demonstration from a friend of mine where he turned it to native appearance with a few clicks. You can see some successful java desktop apps with native UI, one I remember is utorrent. Also, windows users are very used, specially at the time, to inconsistent appearance. So, I don't think default appearance on windows had anything to do with java's decline there.
My take away from your experience is that anything can be abused (in a sense that it becomes more bad than good for you), even meditation.
We're building an eeg device for sleep, and work with a colleague who is on the Emotiv team, so I've got a bit of experience.

The state of BCI is improving, but one of the challenges is for many of the things we'd want to do, you need electrodes placed in areas that have hair. There are flexible sensors that can find their way through hair, but as somebody with thick curly hair, they are not fit for everyone yet. Then there is movement that also needs to be considered for many of these devices.

This is why something like Muse headband used for meditation is a good starting point. You are placing the electrodes on areas that don't have hair, and the use case is while being still, so you have consistent contact without movement.

At my start-up (https://soundmind.co) we're using forehead mounted electrodes which measure your brain waves during sleep, and we use sound to improve sleep performance. So like Muse (which you can also use during sleep, but does not yet provide stim), we benefit from measuring very small signals when you are mostly still.

I think if we were walking down the street with our headband trying to control cat ears, you'd get lots of EEG artifacts due to movement of the electrodes.

My 2 cents.

Have you ever worked at a place where you were doing (objectively) well, perhaps by introducing new tech, or optimizing existing processes, or even just because you were working your ass off, but your coworkers were angry because they weren’t doing so well and you were causing problems for them?

If so, was that healthy? Did it serve the companies (or long term groups) interests?
I dread watching random videos on YouTube for the same reason. No, I have not suddenly kindled an ongoing interest in unclogging sinks! And I just wanted to see that one Billie Eilish song my kid mentioned…and no more!
The thing is, once they do that, they'll cross another one of those imaginary lines.

And the sanctions Russia is under will be nothing like the ones that will be heaped on top.

Europe is highly sensitive about local conflicts, especially after what happened to Srebrenica. Grozny didn't really count since it was:

a) an internal war

b) at the end of Europe

If Putin flattens a major European city (for Europe any city above ~2m or so is major), the outrage in Europe will be huge. Even bigger than it is now.
I was looking for someone commenting this. There's no mystery, it's really just geometry. Imagine casting a ray from your eyeball to a pixel on the monitor. Then imagine the same ray at the same angle on the actual scene. If the pixel matches the correct part of the scene, then the image appears natural.

But that's really a tiny field of view. Perhaps the easiest way to see this is that it's the same geometry as having a monitor-sized window in a wall at the same distance, and looking outside. That would be really tiny window, and you wouldn't expect to see much of the outside without getting a lot closer.

As a result, most pictures are taken at a wider field of view than what would be natural for typical viewing distances, to show more of the scene. Which explains the distortions that make everything at a distance appear tiny.

You fundamentally can't "solve" this without dramatically increasing the FOV that you're viewing things with -- VR being the obvious idea.
But with SAML you're trusting the cert/key pair on the signing end of the connection. If you say "well, we can use the cert provided by the server by getting it over HTTPS every time we need to auth with SAML," then you're trusting the Root CA Cert/Key pair for the TLS connection that underlies the HTTPS protocol. (Source: I've written two SAML SPs.)

With ZT, you basically have to bootstrap trust from the factory. I don't think of ZT as "don't trust anything" - it's more like "trust our supply lines".

Think about the failure modes of ZT: if the NIC, the CPU, the OS, and the bootloader are deemed secure at boot time, there has to be something that starts the bootloader and loads its keys. If you compromise _that_ piece, then you can compromise anything further up the stack and not worry too much about security alerts. The only way to make sure that all machines are secure/uncompromised is to XRay all of the bootloader chips and verify them down to the ~100um level (got this figure by talking to a guy doing grad work @UofM when he was in SV around 2017-2018, I want to say).

> It is not in human nature to fight with the inner workings of your own psychology

This is not something that meditation should ever be about. Meditation is about exploring the inner workings of your experience, in a way that ultimately aims towards equanimity. It requires some deep (and continuing!) experience in practical ethics (turns out if you really learn to care about other sentient beings around you, it's a lot easier to care about yourself too!), as well as a kind of intellectual knowledge or wisdom that's perhaps best associated today with the Stoic tradition, albeit surely not exclusive to it (even a cursory understanding of the Buddhist literature on vipassana should familiarize you with the same concepts, albeit of course phrased differently).

The idea of meditation as "fighting" with oneself should definitely raise many alarm bells, the practice is surely challenging enough on its own! (The "Dark Night of the Soul" is legitimately scary, especially if you're not told in advance that it might occur and that there's ways past it.)
This ship is the subject of the book "Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea" by Gary Kinder. The recovery crew was subjected to a legal battle where the original insurers claimed ownership of the gold since they paid out for its loss.

You've hit the nail on the head. The basic appeal arises from hitting the triple point of performance, cost, and portability.

I don't get why we are so concerned with the purity of his heart.

As I see it it pales near to his gesture and the simple fact that he (a Russian man, a friend of Putin, a person with a lot of personal and business connections to Russia) is doing it. I feel he is already beyond all expectations.
> Github

GitHub is a great example of a site that would benefit from actually being an SPA, imo. It is server rendered pages with JS sprinkled in, and you can easily end up in the situation where parts that live update fall out of sync with parts that don't. For example, being able to see that an issue is closed while the badge on the Issues tab still says you have one open.

I share your general sentiment over the state of them though. It's not actually that hard to avoid breaking navigation buttons, having links open in new tabs correctly etc, so I don't know how it gets screwed up so much.
"Broken" is simply the colloquial term used to avoid arguments with customers. Clarity is a much higher customer-service priority than precision.
Meditation is just a word. As an analogy you can say that driving a car can hurt you. Well that depends what kind of car, your driving style, the speed, whether you use the correct side of the road and so on.

My personal experience is with 30 years of Anapana and Vipassana that started under guidance in a Thai monastery. Even with Anapana, which is considered quite low risk in terms of 'side effects', the message was that it is always better to practice with a teacher and don't mix different practices. This cannot be overstated enough.

My own dark night lasted around 10 years, even with the guidance. Sometimes my outlook so dark it was impossible to look in the mirror. Over time there was a slow transformation of perspective that is still ongoing today. Less clinging to ideas of good, bad, and especially self. Things just happen and most of the time I can now see that all emotions and ideas around that what happens are created by the mind and constantly changing. What starts to matter more and more is compassion for the situation of others and their suffering.

Meditation is often a transformative process and without proper support and guidance this process can indeed be risky.
Anyone else getting a 404? Seems like the article was taken down, judging further from what's listed on the homepage
Oh, this page does not exist. You can head back to homepage.
The major library version number (e.g., 5 vs 6) isn't enough: the symbols even within lib.so.6 are versions and some may update every glibc version, so in general you may have problems building against a new libc 6 then running on a system with an old libc 6 (you'll get a runtime error from the dynamic loader complaining a missing versioned symbol).
Tell it to "Rocket League" or look at what happened to PUBG when they used Epic's engine. Epic only makes those things "free", it only buys popular software, because it's goal is getting more people locked into it's walled garden Epic store. It is not because they are nice. As soon as they believe they have a critical mass of Epic store users you can damn well bet they'll treat Quixel, Sketchfab, and Artstation forums just like the Rocket League linux client the minute there's any more profit to be squeezed out.

You're getting downvoted, clearly, but I think you're more right than wrong. I still think the feds would have screwed up the response and just as many people would have died. But the spats with governors likely would not have happened. And she's certainly far more of a hawk than Trump, so I expect you're right that she'd have been more aggressive towards Russia. Not sure if it would have dissuaded them from invading Ukraine, though, Putin is pretty crazy.

Agreed. We are going to move to proper single file (or as close as we can get) as soon as any sort of meaningful AOT compilation is available:

I am surprised slsk did not appear prominently in this discussion as alternative to share, own, collect lossless music. Is it due to its nature? It is certainly something of the past in terms of userbase but I can't imagine any of the services mentioned coming close to replacing bandcamp.
This is an underappreciated point. I’m an Anglican priest, and I always thought I was just really bad at prayer. (Ironic, I know.) But then I got diagnosed a couple of years ago, and I realized that my brain was working against me.

Some day I have a mind to write a book on spiritual disciplines for those with ADHD and how we talk about prayer and the spiritual life is often not useful for those with the disorder. But, you know, I have ADHD, so I doubt that will ever get written. ;)
Empires, puppet states, colonies, and territories are mostly pre 20th century relics today, and we've lost the vocabulary for talking about them. Pundits still throw those words around, but mostly as exaggerations.

This is a 19th century war with 21st century weapons. It's from the bad old days when various European states built empires - the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the British Empire, Imperial Russia, and the Imperial State of Germany. For most of the 18th and 19th century, and up to WWI, there were wars around the fringes of those empires. Not hugely destructive ones, because nobody had enough firepower.

Putin seems to want to go back to that era. Not, as some people think, to the USSR era. Read that accidentally posted Russian victory press release.[1]

It's a good time to look at 19th century European history and the runup to WWI. What's happening is all too similar.

If the concern is about the kid who has to work a job to support a family, then by all means reserve slots for economically disadvantaged kids. But for the most part that’s not who we’re talking about. The median household income among underrepresented minority groups in the TJ attendance area is solidly middle class. Similarly, most of the racial gerrymandering at universities is targeted at underrepresented minorities from middle and upper middle class families, often affluent African immigrants.
The problem with this take is Kyiv is more or less Russian Jerusalem. That’s one important difference from all other… special operations performed by Putin.
Regarding product comparaison it is possible to build a computable model of your policy and the major competitor, and from there automatically benchmark them to find key difference in coverage (what is the maximum delta) or running them through a set predefined claim scenario. It will however require ~3-5 day of work per policy to build the models. Beyond the marketing effort this models can also be reused for risk management / claim management / leakage prevention if implemented right.
Democrats were commonly anti gay marriage as well. Obama was anti-gay marriage in 2008.

> I was so caught up with spirituality and meditation that I overlooked anything else in my life.

Respectfully this is not an outcome that you can lay at the feet of meditation. It’s like blaming the catechism for the years you spent cut off from the world in a Benedictine monastery.

Meditation is an input, it is not the program.
It's a company that's been successful, while also mired in a variety of legal problems and scandals, often related to how their games are so deliberately addictive....

Kherson falls to Russian forces, first major Ukrainian city conquered
One thing that I found working in a bigger organisation is just how well React encapsulates Design Systems. You can have a dedicated team of talented frontend engineers that builds a really solid design system, and then other folks building the actual user facing bits can use them, and everything will be nice and consistent across all the various apps.

For example look at how well this has been going for Uber.

Now this is certainly possible, and even relatively easy to do in server side frameworks, but as others have stated, its harder to make sure it works nice in all the various edge cases and visual flair that is required for end users, and keeping it all consistent and upgradable across the board.

React (and I'd wager other component based approaches) shine there - its low level enough that you can implement anything with it, but still allow you to build complex things fast. And then are free to implement the actual business logic of the backend with the technologies of your choice. Even better various teams can do that in their preferred language, without the end user being affected by the difference.

Throw in react native to make the styles transferrable to mobile apps and you have the perfect sweet spot for largish tech companies. And since those tend to be the more vocal ones, we get this, in my opinion largely deserved desire to build SPAs.

Smaller teams / startups of coarse don't have those incentives, so they will understandably not have the same cost / benefit analysis.
One Ukrainian government official writing a letter to ICANN isn't cancel culture, nor hysteria or mob mentality. They have the same rationale that much of Hacker News has claiming social media must be regulated or made illegal because it spreads too much disinformation and propaganda.

I think they're wrong, and ICANN will probably refuse, but the tendency nowadays to conflate everything into cancel culture is just getting absurd.
Russia has claimed that the mission is to liberate Ukraine from Nazis, which is why you see videos of unarmed civilians not being immediately run over by trucks.

If the mission changes to kill as many civilians as possible, the army is going to have an even worse morale problem and the international community will come up with a creative solution like giving part of Poland to Ukraine, giving Ukrainian citizenship to anyone within that part of Poland and then launching attacks with all the military resources that just happen to now be in Ukraine.
If your main point was poverty and location, adding race to the description certainly doesn’t help especially with the poor minority vs rich white/Asian angle.
