Right. The phrase "it's all in your head" takes on new connotations because hey, guess what, I live in my head 24/7. Yes it is in my head. It's inescapable. Medicine is tools and technology, and it's a wheelchair for the mind's broken legs.
100% anonymous. And actually it’s nothing like 4chan.
No, it wasn't softly worded. Now you take back what you said, although it was fine and I'm the one in the wrong to think it was insulting?! Etc. I don't think those are reasonable interpretations. Your comment was good without the last paragraph. Can't help sinking the boot in, eh? That's not a very nice habit. But anyway, I have things to do today! See ya.
I've only seen one mention in this thread but wow beta-blockers were a game-changer for me.

Realized I was better than most people at a few important things, and that everyone is ultimately BSing their way through life whether they know it or not. So I'll be me and see where that gets me. Took until my mid-20s to achieve a real level of confidence.
I'm with you. I assumed it's because I'm older than the target demographic, but maybe it's just because I'm not a 'fun' person - don't sing or dance or party.

My wife loved it to death, and I just found it incredibly annoying and overbearing even just hearing my wife play with it.
Also, if you had the misfortune of running the software on Windows, it insisted on trying to look like a mac. In it's meager defense, almost all media players tried to look non-native at the time.
You don't _have_ to update every 6 months. Each release is supported for around 13 months so you can hop every 2 releases.
Ah, thanks for correcting my understanding.

Not at all like 4chan. For a start it’s not a forum. And in every other aspect also lot like 4chan.
> I'd love to hear from the downvoters why they disagree with this take. It's pretty standard, afaik.

Because it's obtuse. There are well-known ways of phrasing all of this stuff in set theory (or rather, "legitimate" varieties of set theory) should anyone really care, replicating type-theoretical constructions by adding increasingly large "inaccessible cardinals" to one's pre-existing notion of set. But it's a pointless exercise when the type-theoretical description of these foundations is so much easier to work with. It's only useful if one believes that "set theory" is the only legitimate language for talking about anything foundational, which is again quite silly.

I've worked with both Rust and Go quite a bit, but not professionally with C or C++. Those two cover a lot of potential green field stuff, like networking, CLI, embedded, etc (maybe not games/graphics as much). Rust is significantly harder to pick up, so check out Go if you haven't already considered it. Most people become productive quickly. That said, much of what you learn in Rust is generally useful for understanding, so it depends on what your goal is.
pron wrote an insightful comment on Kotlin’s future sometime ago, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24197817. He has actively commented on Kotlin this past decade in good faith. The key quote:

> Kotlin's design goals are now contradictory. It seeks to be a low-overhead language, i.e. provide abstractions that don't add overhead over the target platform, give access to all platform capabilities, and at the same time target multiple platforms -- Java, Android, LLVM and JS -- over none of which does Kotlin exert much influence (maybe a bit on Android).

I agree with pron. I don’t see the longevity of the language outside of Android. Too much of drive to use Kotlin focuses on developer experience hype, which is great for starting projects but pretty bad for maintaining them a decade later.
I wonder if there's a way Vine could have iterated and TikTok never caught on in the US. Was Vine just before its time, and that alone doomed it?
Gradle and Maven are both a million times better than whatever constantly changing collection of random stuff you have to use to build a contemporary node project.

I'm currently working on a keyboard with a pico, and am not the most experienced at working with microcontrollers. It's crazy how much easier it is for me to do things on the pico then the old standard, the pro micro. I can just have my vscode open, and the serial port just connects. Changing a file causes the controller to reboot and run the new code. No flashing, or dealing with compiling QMK.

Given that you can buy a pico chip in the pro micro form factor, with usb c, for cheaper then an elite c, I'm hoping these end up in a lot more keyboards.
Likely not. You'll just see everyone fall back to supporting SMS like iMessages does.

There is no way to regulate an equivalent level of service and features be provided on a platform you don't control.
Maybe a dumb question, but I am not sure what is evidence-based online interventions. Maybe an example would help me to understand.

And maybe you could open up your API documentation not behind a registration. I understand you are operating a non profit, and signup is free, but somebody like me does not have a social platform that needs this integration right now, don't like to pretend to be a customer/user in order to read a doc. Maybe after seeing the doc, I can have some idea what is the capabilities and can be used on future project.

Anyway, I like your intent working on helping vulnerable.
> Can Rust replace C or C++ yet, atleast for green field projects?

Mozilla has been replacing parts of Firefox C++ with Rust for a decade. They recently celebrated Rust hitting 25% of the LoC in the main repo. More broadly, serious code at large companies is written in Rust: A chunk of Google's Fuchsia OS, Dropbox's storage engine, Amazon's VM manager, etc. There are niches where C/C++ are better suited but in general Rust is good for whatever if the team wants to use it.
It works. At least, it works well enough for me to use on a daily basis, and I'm pretty hard to please.
We had so much fun making teapots you could spin in QuicktimeVR when I was in junior high. I was still using it for putting out quick architectural design walkarounds until a couple years ago, when it became basically impossible for most people to run a version of Quicktime Player old enough to support it. After that I hacked together my own pipeline with ThreeJS/WebVR to turn panoramas into point to point walkarounds, and sent clients Oculus Go's as Christmas presents so they could view them through the browser.

[Edit] Also, I just found a review of my favorite tech toy from the early 90s: The VideoSpigot card that let you actually digitize composite video on a home Mac. The quality was absolute shite and the memory and storage at the time were hardly capable of handling it, but it was the first time you could ever do something like that. It came bundled with Premiere!

On Twitter, little guys with benign accounts will get randomly suspended over essentially nothing. And yet, you can get spammed by people constantly creating new/alt accounts calling you the N word in your replies and Twitter does jack shit to them even after multiple reports (happened to me personally). Meanwhile the big names, for the most part, get to say whatever harmful nonsense they want and have immunity.

It's the worst of every world.
Do you have a source for this? Every page on Mullvad I've seen says you need to have the VPN active: https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy/

> If you configure your browser, for example, to use the SOCKS5 proxy, it will direct all of your internet access via the proxy which is only accessible through Mullvad. So if you haven't turned on the app, your browser will prevent all internet access and therefore won't leak any information.
OP is referring to some of Microsoft's intellisense language plugins. They are not bundled with VS code by default but they are the best-in-class in terms of language support for autocompletion.
Read the README:
https://github.com/fwcd/kotlin-language-server#this-reposito...

What you said would make sense, except they do build a plugin for Eclipse.

Better options would be any language where the stewards are not trying to extract money from you by forcing your IDE choice. Or where they view fostering community good will as being in their best interest. Ex. MS offers an official LS rather than saying "we don't support other IDEs because Visual Studio licenses."

There's lots of choices here for compile to JS languages:

> I can't stress enough how uneven and cruel the US healthcare system is.

Yes, and there is no doubt healthcare is expensive. I won't rehash the reasons it's particularly expensive in the USA; they're well-known, though there isn't strong consensus. But:

> I feel the only way to survive long-term is to have a career that enables access to jobs (or unions) that offer health care as a benefit. Without it, paying for family-level premiums is similar to a mortgage.

"Obamacare" tried to remedy this by capping healthcare costs at 8.5% of income. Yes, there are holes (in particular, before 2021 this only applied to those earning under 400% of the federal poverty line FPL) and healthcare is even more egregiously expensive in those special cities where 400% of the FPL is below the local poverty line.

But whether you get subsidized by the state, a union, or your employer, the thing to keep in mind is that the costs of healthcare are ultimately still borne by "you": really, we, collectively, employees, union-members, taxpayers -- yes some of us are privileged enough to work for companies that are not financially constrained, but for most employers an extra $1000-3000/mo going to healthcare (you did say "family-level premiums") just feeds in to their total cost of employing you. Offering that benefit to employees means the pay they can offer you as an employee is constrained by its cost as well.

If having employer-based care is the only way to survive, then what that really means -- since money is fungible, really -- is that having the privilege of being well-compensated is the only way to have effective healthcare.

I think that's worse, honestly.
TypeScript has strict null checks and has only made them stricter over recent releases.
Paper is expensive because there is a shortage. If there were enough paper to meet all of the previous needs, then the price wouldn’t have increased.

When I was using TikTok, it was the first truly openminded social media platform I found. Stuff I was watching on it:

- A girl coder who showed people how she operated her light airplane, flying between different little Midwest cities where she lived.

- A free diver (living in Hawaii?) who could stay underwater for several minutes at a time (and film fun chill videos while at it).

- Good relationship advice from progressive-thinking folks who weren't out to make a political point, or shame one party or another.

- Nifty yoga tricks from someone in SoCal.

- Longboarding cosplayers from Asia (yes, they would dress up... and longboard...).

It was also the first social media platform where I saw plenty of positive representation of folks from different backgrounds – including the country my parents came from. Far, far cry from what I read in the US media, by contrast. Compared to the awful divisive stuff I saw on FB, I thought to myself, it's really odd that the US tried to shut this down. Call it addictive, but it didn't leave me feeling soul-damaged.
The kind of standardization you would want is basically impossible at the scale of Microsoft. It requires the styling enforcement to be done at the highest level of leadership. Usually those folks are not interested in that minute of detail and care more about financials strategic organizational planning. An organization of that size would have to have a much different leadership and org structure to have consistent styling.
Yes, it’s those characters (in Kanji/Japanese), in Hanja/Korean it would have been 發射, the glyph for the first character is different even though it’s the same ideograph in Unicode (due to Han unification).

I installed TikTok after seeing the above tweet but all I got was boobs and ass. I don't know if I'm supposed to be actively liking and disliking content but it is a hard pass for me.
Never heard of Javascript?
I think the important distinction in 'do I really want this' becomes whether I chose to do that activity, or if I kind of just got sucker punched into it.

I think there is nothing wrong with saying 'I am going to spend X time on social media and get entertainment out of it'. It is very different when you go to do one specific thing, and spend the next 2 hours in a complete daze in rabbit holes.
I don’t know anyone living paycheck to paycheck but it appears you do. Care to share what they would say?
That's an interesting question. For example, if you're calculating the gravitational pull between the earth and sun F = G(m_1 * m_2) / r^2, you will reach for the distance between the centers of the two masses. This is the definition I intended and if you took a poll I think this is how most people would interpret it. I've never heard anyone interpret distance between two celestial bodies as minimum distance, although that's certainly a valid possible interpretation!
It is like this. And I correlate it to tooth pain when biting into sweet candy with a cavity. It hurts like hell but by the time you notice, it’s gone and you’ve survived. Rejection is very painful but it’s important to remember to have a successful life that rejection is a fleeting moment and it can eventually become a passive experience that you can choose to notice and learn from or not and importantly move on from. This should give you the confidence to be “yourself” in any situation. (As you can tell I’ve been to a few classes)

The law is in large part a creation of the interests it serves --- in the case of copyright, that being publishers.

Changing that regime requires challenging the assumptions and spotlighting the harms and costs. Which is what IA undertook. It's an activist cause, yes, and one aligned with the Archive's interests and mission.

To that extent, IA's action is entirely commendable.
> Instagram, by contrast, just feels so bland now.

On to the next 'hit' then.

The addictiveness of the drug 'Instagram™' has now worn off and has no effect on many long time 'users' of the drug since first introduced in the 2010s. A new 'digital crack cocaine' with a new innovative algorithmic black-box formula has been on the streets called 'TikTok™' amassing over 1B 'users' designed to glue you to your screen as much as possible.

There will be a time where this drug will wear off for another generation and they will find the next addictive hit to scramble and hype over just like they did with Facebook™, and Instagram™.

The only way to really win is to not play the game and to not become a regular 'user', which is what they call people addicted to a particular drug. Interesting that nothing there has changed since the CEOs, VPs, VCs and product managers know that their products are compared to addictive drugs.

Rinse and repeat I guess. But we'll see in a decades time on what the next 'hit' will be.
Huh... I guess I never really noticed, but you're right. I used to listen to entire genres on YouTube and let the recommendation engine pick the next video. I discovered some cool songs that way.

Now, maybe I'll type in a song title, listen to the song, and the next video is a live performance of the same song... Followed by a lyric video of the same song.
I find Quest 2 to be a bit too bulky and low res. But I’m sure once Meta releases Cambria I’ll have that thing strapped to my face 24/7!
In what sense is type theory "easier to work with"? For what purpose? ZFC exists largely because it's a useful framework for proving meta-mathematical theorems. In this sense, it is extremely convenient to work with.

Also, I'm not sure what "all of this stuff" refers to here re: your comment about inaccessible cardinals. You don't need large cardinals to do 99.99% of modern mathematics (essentially, everything but set/proof theory). ZFC is good enough (and you can usually get away with something weaker).
There’s a lot in SMB that we take for granted, but I didn’t understand as a kid. The physics system made the action feel real. The the subtle animation of the coins rotating in the air (actually part of the background, interestingly) gave the levels fullness. It was a really impressive achievement compared to the competition at the time (which of course had been destroyed by the video game crash of 1983)
The NRF51 on micro:bit doesn't have a PWM, so indeed it's emulated. The NRF52 on micro:bit v2 has PWM, so you should see no jitter. RP2040 can also generate PWM signals in multiple ways.

BTW, the problem with servo is not about "flickering not fast enough" but about length of the pulse. Servos require ~0.5-1.5ms pulse every 20ms, where the length of the short pulse maps ~linearly to angles of the servo. If you miss the timing by say 50us you get jitter.
I understand (and mostly agree) with what you're saying, but as someone who watches lots of tiktok each night, there definitely still a(n un)healhty amount of pretending-to-be-authentic-but-actually-isnt content on the app. Or at least on my FYP.

Tiktok definitely does have its own aesthetic and style, with different people leaning into (or out of) it to varying degrees.

I will say - I've never seen a social network that's as queer as my tiktok experience is. It's great. I wish I had this when I was younger.
If the 'avatar' is convincing and can have a continued existence as a person independent of my interaction with it, i.e. I don't "have" them as a form of possession, yes. It does seem better than 50/50 to me though that some (maybe all) wouldn't want continued existence and would decide to go back to not existing (for all I can tell), there may even be strong predictive signs of that in the brain models such that they don't even need to be temporarily brought back and asked or first made to listen to arguments or just have some final-final talks with me/others before deciding. I'd accept that.

For less convincing avatars where the point is just my own benefit of conversing with something like them when I want, from slightly like them to eerily like them, for one it's a weak yes, for the others I'm more indifferent -- it'd be more in the realm of curiosity than desire, like talking to a historical figure or a fictional character. The weak yes I expect will get weaker (as it already has, despite non-linear flare-ups/resurgences where it's temporarily stronger) and eventually match the others after long enough.
I think of Tik Tok as being like Pringles - as in, once you pop, you can't stop. Something about being able to easily flip to the next thing, combined with TikTok's excellent recommendation engine, makes for a very addictive experience - for me, at least.

If you're not enjoying it, despite using the product as intended, then I'd just guess you and it aren't a good fit. That doesn't seem to be any huge mystery - all products and services have fans and people who aren't interested.
The way I understand psychometrics—in a simplified matter—is as a misunderstanding of this philosophical statement: “If it can’t be measured, it doesn’t exists”. I see it as a bastardization of logical positivism in many ways, including by totally misusing operational definition. Resulting in the believe that: “We measured it, it must exist!”.

Measuring wealth is an excellent example. GDP might correlated with other measures of wealth, but it hardly explains the whole story. It can be useful in models but you can’t summarize nation’s wealth by only looking at GDP. Similarly IQ can be a useful tool. IQ tests can be used to find people with mental disabilities so that appropriate accommodations can be provided (although most of the time, there are easier, cheaper and better tools to diagnose mental disabilities). However by looking at the IQ alone (especially around and above the mean) you really can’t say much about about the mental capabilities of a person, only correlations of varying usefulness..

There is an important distinction though. I would argue that GDP (arguably) proves it’s usefulness in different economic models. However the same cannot be extended to IQs. I don’t know of many psychological models which use IQ (or any notion of general intelligence for that matter) to explain behavior (other then a hacks trying to prove the superiority of the white race, but let’s ignore those, what they are doing, it is not science).
Two basic things:

1) show a genuine interest in other people and ask them questions to learn more about them

2) stop caring how other people perceive you

2) may seem a bit hand wavey here, but it's absolutely crucial that you don't present as desperate to be liked or respected.

At first, you must drop all pretense and learn to listen and ask questions. Answer questions when asked, but be careful not to ramble, and look for segues to get other people talking about the topic.

Once you get more comfortable around other people, you will have a better sense of how to impress them and how to make your own anecdotes more compelling. Humor is a good focus here. But only do this after you are comfortable being a good active listener, since listening is much more important.
This is a feature, Gradle is decades ahead of node build tooling.
It’s fun calling therapists and having them be “full”.

But yeah.
For me, it has basically nothing to do with being open source. Despite all the constant hate about electron apps, I've consistently found VS Code to be much snappier to use than any time I've tried using Jetbrains IDEs (whether on beefy desktop or slimmer laptop), and that's even after disabling a huge number of plugins and features that I don't want. That's not even talking about the actual features of each; I think I just prefer a smaller initial feature set with a rich, well-supported ecosystem of third-party as well as first-party plugins rather than a huge default feature set (which inevitable comes with a bunch of things I don't want) and third-party plugins being mostly an afterthought.
>Major upgrades are still relatively safe because of FS snapshots.

Also, in general the upgrades are quite reliable. I have a few systems that have been upgraded in-place for years without any issues (regardless of snapshots, since they're using ext4).
I tried tiktok for a few months last year. It was refreshing and engaging in a way that nothing else is. The vitality and originality of tiktok really reminds me of Reddit in 2010 or 4chan in 2007. When a ton of dynamic younger people pile their energy into something, it gives that thing a special energy and power that cannot be created artificially.

It’s leading edge in the way it consolidates what came before. All the little optimizations to our memes and videos, all the quirks of online etiquette that have been born in the last 10 years were built into the culture of tiktok from its inception. The result is content that is more frictionless than ever before. Even after tiktok, this is here to stay.
