Positive affirmations are not curative. If imposter syndrome affects you negatively, chances are you have something resembling anxiety. This is a common and treatable problem. Because imposter syndrome is associated with competence, ironically people who are incompetent will associate themselves with imposter syndrome (Dunning-Kruger).
“4000 years ago the Chinese invented “Go”. Unlike Indo-European Chess, Go takes longer to play and uses a larger board. In Go, the goal is not to confront your opponent directly as one does in Chess. The winning system in Go is to surround them gradually and occupy their territory.”[1]

Answers to your questions:

Yes, Yes, Yes, often teams use shells script, gradle or maven.

The same config you'd put in the docker yaml or whatever would go into the maven or whatever config except that the devs would be familiar with the existing tools and wouldn't spend countless hours mucking about with docker files.

Also unless you're using docker on x86 AND linux, likely things will not work or at least you'll run into mem, or perf or other compat issues.

After working with Java/Python for years, I had forgotten about the hell people go through with other langs deploying on diverse OSes/arches.
I was in the habit of getting games via shareware, through one of the common catalogs then - yep, an actual paper catalog of shareware games you could order for price of shipping, or close enough. They were cheap and I was entertained by them - Commander Keen, Prince of Persia, Pharoh's Tomb, etc. My friends and I all played some awesome games of the day, but I remember loading up W3D and just being blown away - it really was the first fps I ever played.

Many of the other first-person perspective games I had experience with were the D&D games which were largely still-frame, turn-based games like Eye of the Beholder from SSI[0]. Also played Falcon 3.0 over modem, which was super cool; Gunship 2000 where I first started using a hex editor, diff'ing pre-and post-mission save game files via stare-and-compare to understand how to give myself more medals. But W3D was a whole different level, game-wise.

I called all my friends and told them, basically, "holy sh*t, you're not going to believe how flipping awesome this is! It's like nothing you've ever seen before, come over. It's better than anything you've ever played." To a man (teen boy) they were all dismissive - like, whatever dude. Until they came over to my house and I loaded it up. I think I got it on a bunch of 3.5" floppies, and quickly handed it out, made copies, etc.

I played that game so much I would go to bed, close my eyes, and still be running down the hallways, so burned into my retinas were the graphics. Truly the first game I was completely and unapologetically addicted to.

Then some time later a kid at school who wasn't into computers handed me an unopened game box he had gotten as a present from his folks. He didn't care about it, knew I liked computer games, asked me if I wanted it. I had no idea what was in that box, but said sure, why the heck not? The thing was like a black monolith. It was Ultima VII - The Black Gate. It had a cloth world map, a book to translate runes. I pretty much forgot all about Wolfenstein after that, mostly. A friend and I would play it "together" while talking over the landline for hours (local call).

Doom was cool, so was Descent, played the heck out of them. Was also the time I started taking programming classes in school, including a semester of Pascal. It was always in the back of my mind that Pharoh's Tomb was programmed in Pascal.

It was a fine time to be a young nerdling. :D

Lessee. 1/3 of my time sleeping, 1/3 working and 1/3 doing what I want to do because I have been successfully sleeping and working. So yeah, I can easily see that 50.1% of any (large) group of people dislike their job. Especially if the ability to do "the final third" makes "the middle third" consume sleeping time.

Assuming you are not working to live and thus have some choice - work has to be interesting enough to get up and do it tomorrow. In some cases and for some length of time I have found work quite interesting. But most of it is rather repetitive and mundane compared to hobby and vacation activities. That's why it's called work :-).

I would be careful about the word "psychosis", it has a technical meaning which is close to the intersection of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizoaffective_disorder

In my opinion people are frequently harmed directly when terms around mental illness are misused.
> It would however mean that the device running the bridge should be either running most of the time

Typically a client-side bridge would run on your current device, so if it can't connect to the server, then you're probably out of connectivity anyway so it's not a disaster.

> or that the hypothetical API of that proprietary service must be ready to be accessed from multiple clients at once

I'd expect that the gatekeeper's API would allow access from multiple clients, just as the normal clients would.

> Realistically I'd run a dedicated bridge on a home server or vps then, but I guess not everyone wants to do that.

The problem is that if you run a dedicated bridge to an E2EE messenger like WhatsApp from a VPS, then that VPS becomes a massive attack target. Hence looking for safer places to run it - e.g. buried inside your phone, where if the phone is compromised, you're already toast.
Keybase was acquired by Zoom in 2020 so that its team could work on Zoom's e2e issues. Since that time development of Keybase has slowed and those of us who use it are afraid Zoom is going to let it die.

> even talking about utility assumes the price someone is willing to pay reflects their utility gain

It does. It reflects their utility gain relative to the utility they gain by spending that money somewhere else, or just keeping the money for the future. People not made of straw do not generally believe that the price someone is willing to pay reflects somebody else's utility. Nor are they unaware of the tendency for marginal utility to decrease.
Doesn't Alexa collect the same amount of information as Google Home or other "smart products"? I'm not pro-Google or Amazon (quite the opposite actually), I just don't use any "smart" products (expect for smartphones which I can't avoid) due to the amount of tracking on all of them.
Sounds like playing demanding games with a laptop on your lap would also work.
I feel a journalist should be entitled to own their own personal ENS domain just like they might secure their own .com domain with their own personal funds. Seems wild to suggest that Kevin should sell his ENS domain to avoid any potential bias, considering it means he will have to later buy it back at a premium either when/if he retires (or changes jobs), or when/if the NYT changes their policy. (I am assuming (1) he actually wants to keep the ENS domain, and (2) he bought it with his own funds, rather than company dime.)

I am sure they all have fulfilling lives outside of what they project online; but the single-track attitude and constant crypto snark is as tiring as the laser eyed BTC bros.

Edit: just to add, if the ENS were solely to practice buying “nytdomaintest1234.eth” and using it, then sure I agree with you. I am asking this question in the context of Kevin owning a personal domain linked to his real life name and identity.
"Active users" is a metric that is:

(a) somewhat tricky to define with legislative-grade rigour, and much more importantly:

(b) only measurable by the very same entities who would be subject to this regulation

Were it not for the problem of measurement, I would agree that it would be a better proxy for "needs regulation" than market cap.

EDIT: On second thought, I don't even think that's true. Imagine a networking app that absolutely dominates a small but highly profitable and societally / strategically important sector, such as medicine or law.

That company could have relatively few users as a % of the population, but still have enough of a warchest to hobble most potential competitors, and to have undue influence in wider society thanks to its control of critical sectors. Going by market cap doesn't measure a company's pervasiveness, but it measures its sheer economic power.
Looks like a new cert was issued today. App is working fine for me
Was that music actually in the game playing on a DOS PC, or added separately to the video? If the former, it sure doesn't sound like the usual game music of that time playing on an Adlib or Sound Blaster. Maybe it was using a higher-end sound card of that time, like a Roland MT-32.
One thing that I do have to say about Spain: Pre-Corona there was literally a bank branch at every street corner. It was a bit too much. I get that old people have mobility issues, but where I live there were 3 branches within 500m of my house. And that was just for my bank, I had at least one branch from the other main ones within the same distance as well. I have never seen this density in other EU countries (I've lived in several and visited most) even before digitisation, except probably Romania.

Now what they've done is shuttered a lot of actual branches but left the ATMs. The density of bank branches now is comparable to the density of post offices (in my "barrio" there is only one post office and now only one branch of my brank). It's not like they have to walk 20km now especially in the city.

However I do really think old people should be able to keep doing transactions as they were. They should not be forced to go online.

Just a solitary data point here, but I notice almost all of the designers I've worked with at any company or agency exclusively use Apple products (iPhones and Macs)
Technically, the Matrix server could also be running clientside - i.e. it could be P2P Matrix (https://matrix.org/blog/2020/06/02/introducing-p-2-p-matrix). At which point you could almost think of the architecture as being a multihead messenger, but with the protocol-specific bits decoupled from the rest of the app... and with your chat history encrypted and magically decentralised over the various participating devices.
Personally, I am a heterosexual male that would 100% take this if it's available, not sure why I was downvoted.

This isn't my personal opinion, I am actually just stating the opinion of pharmaceutical companies. If you search for male birth control, you'll see lots of stories like this over the past 5-10 years. So you need to ask yourself why there aren't any that we can currently go to our doctor for? The science is there but attitudes and market research are not.

We are a conscientious bunch here and not representative of the general population, sadly. Or at least, that's how pharmaceutical companies perceive that, and until that is successfully challenged I don't think any of these will be viable in a commercial sense, even if they are in a scientific one.

Early trials of male hormonal birth control, usually in the form of injections, have shown that drugs are effective in preventing pregnancy, but pharmaceutical companies show little interest in developing or marketing them. But another obstacle is the unwillingness of men to endure the drug’s side-effects, and of the medical establishment to permit a drug with side-effects similar to those of women’s birth control from being given to men.

I would be really curious how the side-effects compare to female birth control, which are already pretty bad to begin with, and we just expect women to put up with.

You don't understand why the price you pay makes a difference in whether someone is exploited or not? Do you think a shirt could be profitably sold for $1, and have everyone along the supply chain be paid a fair wage?

Also it's true, people are exploited for more expensive things all the time. But my point was about cheap stuff.
Games had to be smaller projects. The console and home computer hardware at that time put a tight limit on how much code and data you could ship. Filling that up wasn't hard. It was mostly a matter using these resources well.

This changed a few years later when CDs came along. Many game devs originally didn't quite know what to do with so much storage space. Then processors also got much faster still and 3D acceleration became a thing. Game dev project scopes exploded accordingly to give you the game industry we have today.
I really enjoyed that book and highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't!
Nice follow up!

Yes, NLST was actually a real randomized control trial for lung cancer screening, done before it was known whether or not it was helpful. The trial eventually stopped once they had enough outcome based evidence.

The statistic you mentioned is not used in assessing the effectiveness of screening. It does closely relate to what is though to be the causal mechanism that leads to effectiveness.

Just comply with it? Allow people to damn modify the software on the machines they bought? This is not about forcing Apple to release sources or whatever, it's about giving people the tools to fully use the hardware they paid money for.
Wow, thanks so much. This is super helpful!

I'll absolutely dig into this stuff more. Even just knowing about the assembly thing is very helpful.

I know several women who have used IUDs or implanted birth control. Vasalgel is like an IUD except its not a painful procedure. If a man wants to take a pill that tampers with his bodies normal biological functions go ahead, but I'd prefer a non painful approach that I can use for 5 years without thinking about it and get it set up and removed in maybe 2 hours total?

At some point(s) in life you're presented with a decision involving money, fame, ethics, and safety. How you navigate this choice defines who and what you are and what the legacy you will have will be. For drivers, they're already living on the edge of sane existence, so what's rocket artillery? It's less clear cut for the teams and the owners as they seem to be interested in money while spending the coin of other's lives.
Yes, and this is how the standard of care treats things. You never proceed from positive mammo screen to treatment. You always first do some other steps like ultrasound or biopsy.

This and the destruction of world heritage sites in Ukraine, Syria, and elsewhere may not be classical “war crimes”, but the destruction of our shared history, culture, and artifacts is a crime against all.

To add on to the other comments of games being more simple back then, most of the games released in 1991 by them were sequels and/or shared codebases and tooling with other games.

Three of those releases were Commander Keen games; Shadow Knights and Danger Dave shared engines; as did Catacomb 3D and Hovertank; Rescue Rover I/II were simple puzzle games built on an old demo code base. I'm not trying to take away from their accomplishments, merely pointing out that they didn't start from scratch every time.

I think id was trying to get out of come contractual obligations from Softdisk.
DOOM was written on a 68040 33MHz processor.
J-novel club only has certain titles, but they are a good deal if you have more than a couple that you read. You can read recently released (60ish days?) chapters as part of the fee, if you buy complete books they are DRM free, and they have RSS feeds for each series.

No SAO though; literally the only thing I want that j-novel club doesn't offer is Yen-On's catalog; their technical execution is that good.
Philosophers spend a lot of time trying to figure out a way to define an objective measure of utility that can be compared across different people. This is necessary for many formulations of utilitarianism. And probably many HN commenters are more familiar with the word in this context. That economists use the same word with a much more limited scope does tend to detract from discussions like this, I feel.
Scalia has some good points, however some notes

A gridlocked political system is not guaranteed to create "good legislation" as Scalia puts it, take US as a prime example of that, almost every legislation is packed with pork and other things unrelated to the legalisation itself.

To Scalia defence he might have meant "not awful legislation", like avoid harming a minority, because of the bicameral legislature. But good legislation? No.

It is true that in Europe it is common to mix the legislative and the executive with the same election and thus chamber. However in Sweden the executive power is divided in half, with the elected prime minister with his cabinet (regeringen) on the one hand and the independent government agencies (myndigheter) on the other. This is a separation of powers that US doesn't have.

And it is in the executive that has the highest risk of political corrupt behaviour, because it deals with all the practical details of running a country, therefore separating the executive into two separate branches, the elected and the civil servants, creates better protection against political corruption.

Scalia main argument is that US can't become the Soviet union because of the bicameral gridlock built into the system, however what we have seen in the US when the legislature is politically paralyzed is that the executive, and to some extent the judiciary, has encroached on the legislative powers.

How many of the wars that US has been involved in since the second world war has been formally approved constitutionally by the senate? Zero.

Did President Obama execute a US citizen without a trial? Yes.

This is a gap in Scalias argument, the executive power is too unrestricted, hence it is the US executive power that will be removing citizen rights from the citizenry, not the legislature.
I worked briefly for a startup that wanted a .sy domain. That's Syria. They had to get the State Dept. involved (Hillary Clinton had to sign one of the documents, she was Sec. of State at the time.) The package they sent to Syria was a kind of Matryoshka doll: a package with some grease (cash!) and another package inside, that in turn had the grease for the next level of the bureaucracy and another package for them to pass on, which contained more grease and another package... All in all four or five layers of payments and bureaucracy. They got the domain name but then abandoned it for some reason I don't know (I suspect it was just more trouble than it was worth to have "foo.sy" and deal with Syrian government rather than just "foosy.com".) US$20,000 down the drain. FWIW this was all official enough that it wasn't legally bribery.
(author here, the blog is under an alias) oh, interesting! i hadn't seen this one yet. i think this one would fall under the category "transpile-first languages" (like wuffs or spicy); i.e. it is useful for portable parsers but faces obstacles for generating ancillary tooling.

We do segregate many sports on other dimensions, e.g. by weight in boxing.

The problem with trying to do something like that across the sexes is that the performance gap between elite men and elite women (i.e. those at the top of their statistical distributions) is so large in so many sports (even when controlling for height or weight).

For example, a large number of amateur men who are well under 6 feet tall can dunk a basketball (and Spud Webb was 5 foot 7!), but it's remarkable to find even a professional female player of the same height who could do this. Similarly being tackled by an 85kg male rugby player is a whole other universe of pain compared to being tackled by an 85kg female. Anybody who knows sports can find similar examples. It’s not about testosterone or some other individual item - it’s the whole complex biological organism acting in concert. When you are working with so many dimensions and those are also interacting in real time, it is very hard to divide things into "fair" categories.

Because of these issues, women fought very hard for (and won) the right to have their own competitions, free of male competitors.

For more examples, see https://boysvswomen.com/#/. If Olympic events were mixed sex, most events would have no female competitors at all. Teenage boys routinely beat female world records.

Thank you! I remember that I had started on a chat system right before IRC, but could not for the life of me remember its name; though i knew that it was a simple name. Talk was the first thing that i started on, but once i learned that IRC allowed me to connect with folks around the world (at the time, Talk was limited to the single unix server that users were connected to, though that constraint was expanded beyond that later on if i recall correctly). Man, i remember those early days; what fun to marvel at chatting with others either across the university campus or - later on - across the world!

In Canada, credit unions aren't perfect, but usually worth paying a bit more for better service.
