The person responsible for monitoring the cert was the proximal cause but not the ultimate cause. The ultimate cause was the colossal fool who decided a cert check failure should cause an immediate and nonconsensual disabling of all extensions instead of a pop-up box warning the user their extensions may be untrustworthy. That's like a car's ECU slamming on brakes because it failed to read the tire pressure.
The base desire for human connection is a completely legitimate and accepted reason to talk to someone. There’s nothing manipulative about that motivation. It’s probably the same reason the person is talking to you.
I think two things happened:

1. I started to run out of things to learn about programming that weren't entirely academic or specialities I'd rarely have need for. So the get-up-and-go of being thrilled by learning something new faded.

2. I became less of a software consumer. In the 90's, it was exciting to see software doing a new thing that hadn't been done on computers before - graphics, sound, Internet, all the rest. I was enamored in that sense: what if I could work on something attention-getting like that? And yet my interest in coding had a sort of "but all the products suck, actually" undertone to it. It all crashed, was under-documented, had some goofy UX fail. I wanted to understand that and do better.

And that conflict, of course, was fostered by realizing that I could do better, but I would have to pick one tiny slice of it to make better. And even doing that, I couldn't expect it to be used by anyone or to result in a career, because most of the professional code-slinging comes from a place defined by platform capitalism: the software is there to be in the way of the user so that it can extract a tax. Making it better isn't really the end goal, it's just a way to get users. And that holds true even if you look at open source and its various cults.

Thus, like a lot of folks, I'd now like to have less of my computing experience be defined by software. Like furniture, it has to exist in my life, but I don't have to like it.
I liked most of your comment until this last part:

> but the people who don't want it because they feel uncomfortable when they don't see butts in seats 8 hours a day will likely put in a lot of passive-aggressive effort to bring things back to the old status quo.

That is, in the first part of your comment basically says "Remote work isn't tenable unless in-office workers put in a significant amount of additional effort (e.g. always using written communication, impromptu conversations are verboten because you might be leaving a remote worker out, etc.)", but then you complain in-office workers just want to see "butts in seats" and are being "passive aggressive" if they don't put in the extra effort to make remote work tenable.

It could just (fairly) be the case that in-office workers don't want to put in the extra effort. I mean, a big reason many execs want people to be in office is because they see the efficiency in impromptu and verbal communication, and your post concedes that point by my reading of it.
If Frisco is short for San Francisco, does that mean Fresno is short for San Francesno?
Ask HN: Leaving an Apartment Vacant for Months
If I know I'm going to take an extended trip, at least 3 months, what's the best way to go about this.

I'm in a somewhat unique position in that I'm planing on actually moving soon anyway, would a co living space be better for this. I do tend to love my privacy though.
It took me a long time to reconcile how people can claim they belong to a religion, yet proclaim their assumptions are contrary to said religion as well as exhibit inconsistent behavior.

I was probably almost mid 20s before I realized people simply need an excuse to form and maintain tribal bonds, similar to how a birthday, anniversary, house warming, or other ritual provides an excuse to get together. I wish someone had explained this to me sooner.
As is Quaker meeting. I'm deeply involved in mine, and it has been essential for my emotional well-being over (at least) the past couple years.
Reading top comments might make someone feel that this article is not worth reading, but I encourage people to actually read it. Personally I find it really interesting.

For eg. reading about prebound methods here:
https://python-patterns.guide/python/prebound-methods/. Seasoned python programmers probably wouldn't find anything interesting there, but for me, it was quite useful including instances of where it is being done in python standard library and discussion around when and when shouldn't it be used.
Real shame that the ‘voxel’ word got hijacked for cubes, which are obviously polygonal.

In ‘Vangers’, the map is made and rendered with real voxels. Now that's some shit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9R7QJ5Sh1o

Simply having blocky cubes as units is just not the same, at all.

There's a lot of random topics in here to comment on heh

> But computer science is also math; it's basically applied math, so we should also teach computer science in a similar way that math is taught.

Math education is horrible, idk why you would model anything off it. So many people seem to think they're not good at math, just because teachers and they way its taught isn't good.

I think comp sci and software engineering need to be separated some how, like physics and engineering. Also programming needs to be its own thing, separate from engineering. Like a life skill. I can use a hammer and some saws and make some simple things or do some repairs, but im not an engineer and definitely not a physicist. More people should be able to hack some thing together with python, without feeling like they need to be an engineer or a computer scientist.
Or find non-religious mass around your area. They exist in many cities now and you don't have to commit to some spiritual idea.
this falls apart the moment dang and the others decide to do something else is more important than quality community interactions.
Join a meetup for people with similar interests. http://www.meetup.com

Twitch can also be good to hang out with random people doing random things. Streams with a small audience let you interact with people more.

You can search for local events in your area using http://eventbrite.com or others.

You can volunteer at an animal shelter, etc.

You can also get a pet. Just don't get a bird as they scream all the time.
Hey sometimes all you need is just one anchor point.

Do you have hobbies that you ceased to practice for whatever reason? Kids, career.

Maybe this is the time to pick it up again. Engage however you like, interact with the community when you feel like.
This video should be pointing out how prices change relative to Rubles not dollars. Relative to the dollar everything is cheaper now since the dollar went from about 83 to 133 rubles to the dollar - so everything seems cheap to us. We can think about it this way: what used to cost 1 US dollar now costs about 62% of its pre-war cost. But going the other way, it now costs 60% more to buy imported goods that are valued in dollars. That happened in less than 3 weeks and it will only get worse.

Most consumers won't see the impact until businesses start to buy new products to sell and pass the costs down to them. Russians are really going to feel the pain soon.
There's a lot of good advice here. But one thing I could say is just to start by being in more places that don't always require a 1on1 interaction constantly. That could be a gym (mentioned a few times) or just being outdoors with more people around (not just alone on a trail). I generally feel a little better about my "one-ness" sometimes after just being around human beings a bit more. And then who knows something more may come from it from time to time. GOOD LUCK
In some places, you attend church with your family and then leave.

In some other churches, people get to socialize more.
This is the status of men in Western civilization.

Unitarian ones are nice. I’m not very religious but went on sundays for a while just as something to do/an excuse to get out of the house. They don’t care what you believe, and just exist to celebrate each other.
Talking of personal experience after a year remote due to covid I went back to office for a single day and I had members of product management team coming to me every 15 mins with questions. I realized they were doing this pre covid and also during remote but the difference in the latter case was that they were using chat and that meant I could prioritise and reply to them asynchronously. Never went back to office after that day. A
If you’re able to identify it’s anxiety or depression holding you back from wanting to be around others speak to a therapist. If you don’t see progress (albeit it can be a long journal) for some people a psychiatrist can be the helping hand they hand. I exhausted every non-medicated approach until my last option was medication and that did wonders in assisting me with my social anxiety. After a number of years I’m on a path to coming off them and I know they’re always there if I need them again.
It's just one of several things that can help. Not a guaranteed miracle cure.

However, doing nothing is very likely to lead to nothing.
Thanks for the detailed response and the kind offer. I appreciate this advice especially the less obvious piece. The typical (hobbies, hang our in public places etc.) advice just haste historically worked for me however throwing myself into my business and keeping it as my number one goal has actually helped decrease my loneliness substantially. I didn't notice until you mentioned it but I vacillate between being ok with letting money driving me and feeling like above that nonsense. I'm currently in an "I'm above that" mode, which has allowed my mind has wander and loneliness to grow. Thanks for pointing this out, I appreciate it.
I think the same arguments could be applied to the USA
Ditto.

Lagrange is very good. It seems I can't set a custom homepage URL, I hope he adds that at some point.

Can anyone recommend a good de facto homepage as a jumping off point for exploring what's out there on Gemini today? There are a few decent directory sites but in particular it would be nice to find a page with links to new or updated sites.

May be you meet good people because of your other good qualities?

Or the other thing I thought you were going for- share your skill with people. For instance if you are a good photographer offer to take pics for Birthday parties or something. There’s your way to meet people.
>Anyone know how they managed finances

the article does

"And some buy a copy of the book the Zapps have written about their adventure, entitled "Catching a Dream." They have sold about 100,000 copies and say this is their main source of revenue for all this traveling."
I think they specifically said “helped”, you’re the one that said single-handedly. I didn’t think any of what he said was nonsense, I found it pretty fascinating, as I did yours. I doubt they meant anything inflammatory by it.
The Ottomans were already ruling most of the Byzantine empire by the time they took Constantinople.
Any ideas why this is happening in Seattle or just a consequence of tech companies gentrifying the region like SF?
one thing i havent seen mentioned here yet is to give to someone else. volunteer, and be reliable in showing up especially when its difficult. the act of giving is very powerful as it causes people to feel needed - which can go a long way to helping with loneliness. it also can help alleviate the feeling of being "inauthentic" as you are giving and thereby getting. theres nothing wrong with having multiple motivations for doing things. or even a single selfish motivation when you are helping meet someone elses needs.
No, they aren’t. I would know, as I have a debugger attached to the process right now.
Get a therapist first. I don’t know if your insurance covers that.

Everything else mentioned is highly personal. You may or may not like the gym or D&D or whatever.

But you aren’t going to be able to do those things if you can’t manage your feelings.

I was a part of a non religious “atheist church” group like this until it turned into a polyamorous sex cult and then some people got jealous and metooed the leader, and one of the lead organizers became homeless because of severe mental health issues.

It was fun for like a year, though.
Thing is it’s not only men. Different reasons but many women have very few friends too.
They're coming for python now. Want to reverse a string? You simply need an abstract-factory-decorator-observer.

The 'enterprise python' battle begins. Good luck.
Thats a great point! I suppose I'm trying to avoid feeling like a pos for potentially feeling like I wasted my time if the social interaction didn't alleviate my loneliness. So i do have unhealthy expectations that need to be examined further. Thanks for point that out.
Given the amount modern GPU's are requiring that doesn't seem such a rare occurrence. During some game sessions, my 3080 will max out the capacity of my consumer UPS and ponder if a loose pin on the power connectors could cause a spark enough to jump the connectors. I guess my only saving fate is I let my computer sleep when not in use.
I'm 45 and have dealt with similar, isolation issues. No kids. There are biological reasons when we are infants that require the human touch and care to survive (other animals exhibit this as well - whereas, the lack of parental care significantly increases mortality). I posit that even into late adulthood, these biological needs are still there, even if dampened. I've never heard nor read anyone regret receiving a sincere hug from someone whom they valued.

I guess what I'm getting at is, if there are no parents or friends that can fill this role for you, then I think the next best thing is that you fill that role for someone else who may be in need - if they reciprocate, that void will begin to fill.
This paper is focused on the United States and California, which have specific income and capital gains taxes. It doesn't indicate what would happen in other countries, or what happened under different tax structures in the past in the US (say right after WWII). I don't buy that the message that one should take from this paper is to abandon capital investment, rather that such investment is best accompanied by programs that help those that do not directly benefit from the investment. And that re-educate and help those who feel the sharp edge of creative destruction.
I was furious when I heard of this back in 2020, and I'm a WA state taxpayer.

Another way to think of it is that you're offering companionship to other people.

I spent the last 6 months being "one week away" from finally receiving the requirements for what essentially boiled down to a multi page form wizard. Maybe 30 meetings total.

They ended up just saying "go get started and we will get you requirements later" to which I said "no thanks" in so many words.

I've happily been relocated to another team. I'm excited to hear how many months /years it ends up taking them to hash out what could probably be knocked out in a single well organized sit down.
1. Lots of factors come in play here like transaction fees, transaction speed, trading slippage. Usually the best way is to work with OTC desks (like FTX OTC for example) which involves KYC at some point.

2. For accounting and taxes, there are actually companies out there whose business is in helping people sort this out. varies country to country, and due diligence of course.
Yeah, most of my mom’s family is like this. They don’t believe in most on the heaven and hell stuff literally but see Catholicism as part of their cultural identity as Irish-Americans
What is the advantage of something like this over retroarch?
The shitty code you wrote two years ago to retain a customer may have needed to be written, but that’s absolutely no excuse for keeping it now.

Those are two different scenarios and you can’t defend one with the other. Stop apologizing for your old code and just fix it.
Maybe tie those systemctl commands to the power button and state, so it restarts the screen every time you blank the screen, or when coming back on use a restart for the service?

I have a feeling mainstream phones use all sorts of these ux hacks in the background - it only looks good, under the hood is just as messy and chaotic as any other software/hardware collision.
This sounds really unhealthy? Like you’re refusing to acknowledge the negative emotion and suppressing it?

I’ve run across some folks over the years who did this a lot, and they tended to explode when sometime did push past/overwhelm it.
I'd like to recommend another podcast on the subject, 12 Byzantine Rulers by Lars Brownworth: https://12byzantinerulers.com/

It's a short one, 17 episodes of about 20 minutes each. But these episodes are information-dense and have surprising depth. Also, this was one of the first podcasts ever published, starting in 2005.

I never said closed. I said proprietary.

Relative to software licenses, this would be the sort where the source code is there and you can read it, but that is all i.e. not Open Source nor Free Software.

It is not specified by a standards board or the like. It is an immutable protocol made by somebody's whim.

And it isn't very good. An example: It will never have a header with the size of the payload. The only way you will find out is by downloading the whole payload.
>The resistance I'm up against is that I feel like I'm just using people to alleviate the loneliness. It feels manipulative and inauthentic. Like I'm putting on a show in order to attract companionship. Thats why i want to learn how to be alone without being lonely, it frees me up to connect authentically.

I think I'm missing something here. Isn't this what friends are for? I call up (nonromantic) friends and be like, "I'm kind of lonely, wanna hang out?" That's not 'using people'. I don't feel used if a friend wants to hang in person or in Discord because they're feeling lonely.
Gemini has already won. Gemini users have carved out a space for a thriving community, which doesn't need to scale to be valuable and fun.
Not sure if this the same experience as the person you asked the question of, but I went to Catholic school growing up, altar boy, youth group, the whole works. And I'd consider myself atheist, or agnostic maybe is better. But I call myself "culturally Catholic" because so much of how I grew up is still a part of me: a focus on finding universality in experience ("catholic" christian historically grew out of an attempt to find universality in the christian belief, and I think today amid globalization it still does that remarkably well); an impulse toward social justice; a tolerance of hypocrisy and inconsistency.

And like the prior poster said, many/most Catholics disagree with the Pope--I think something like 85% of American Catholics disagree with the official views on birth control and abortion and homosexuality--but that doesn't stop us from calling ourselves Catholic.
Impressive!!!
Out of utility, yes, church helps. When I was a non-christian, I tried church but walked out because it felt like a cult. What worked for me instead was just listening to enough Alan Watts to soften my spirituality, then hearing enough intellectual explanations about the Bible from Jordan Peterson's Bible lecture series, Jonathan Pageau's videos on symbolism, or Bible Project explainer videos. Then Church started making sense that the utility started meshing with its meaning.
I have wrestled with my own demons, some similar to yours.
What I found was I was missing authentic friendship and connection with people.
This was a long process, but the first step was to find safe trustworthy and interested people.

For you, some actionable steps:
Finding a good counselor is an excellent step. I won’t try to advise how to go about that, others have done a much better job than I could. One key would be to take action (and keep taking action). Also don’t just settle with the first counselor you find. Try several and choose which one helps you move in the right direction most.

Secondly I have personally found Headspace’s mediations on Loneliness and on Anxiety very helpful on a physiological level.

Everything else I have is less actionable.

Our hearts and emotions matter. Compassion matters. People being compassionate toward you, and you toward yourself. Being seen for who you are matters.

Your history indicates deep wounds. When our wounding comes within the context of relationships, healing also ends up needing to come from relationships. This will take time. You will have to find people you can trust.

Life is more than getting by. Find yourself, and find people who love you and respect you, as different as you may be.
This is a wake up call, who you are is signaling that you need more.

Modern Western sociology has been an experiment in the deconstruction of community since the industrial revolution, and significantly moreso since the 2nd WW. The 'tribe' has been considered an evil to be eradicated (rather than seeing othering outsiders as a thing to be fixed). The village has been deconstructed with folk pushed into isolated family islands, and in the last 30 years those family islands have been actively broken down by our quest for individualism and personal identity.

This is NOT how most of the world functions outside of the west, strong community bonds have underpinned the fabric of society and what you're experiencing having been shunted off your family island is the missing safety net provided by robust community.

The advice you're going to receive here will be proffered by folk in the same deconstructed system of individualism focusing on you as an individual.. but what you're experiencing is a need to belong to something greater than yourself that cares for your emotional and social needs, AKA: community. There are groups within the west who are fundamentally aware of these problems and strive to create community, communes, religious groups, eco villages.. find groups that are focused on community (and supporting each-other, being a 'tribe') and get involved in whatever they are doing.

Ps: 'untrusting of women' is an alarm bell that makes me think you see women as a class rather than humans, this should be an alarm bell for you too to realise that generalisations about groups of people are always a bad idea.

Wishing you well in your adventure friend.
I agree with this. Service is a good way to lose oneself helping others and meet people at the same time
