Neither of those is equivalent to what I wrote (in different ways!), and the first one doesn't even work because of type erasure - you can't write generic functions over exception types. You're also focused way too much on the specific lines I wrote and not the general pattern that leads to exception over-handling.

Anyway, alternative proposals don't really matter - I could also offer patterns for Go which make accidentally ignoring error values more difficult. We're talking about actually extant code, and nobody writes Java (or Go) like that outside of forum arguments.
PNRs are not maintained by airlines themselves, they use GDS like Amadeus or Sabre to do that. They still go through mainframes.
You are entirely correct, those countries have good reason to fear Russia (with the additional complexity of substantial numbers of ethnic Russians in those countries), but, as I wrote a month ago [1], there is a symmetry here and Russia also has good reason to fear NATO, for the latter, in the last 2 decades, have invaded (directly or through proxy forces): Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Afghanistan. The sibling post [2] by "chrisco255" summrises some of the arrising issues.

It's not. I just don't have a huge house.

"There is no evidence of injury by virtue of WiFi."

The research seems to be mixed when searching PubMed. At the very least, there are confirmed biological effects for microwave RF for which we don't understand the mechanisms or their implications (eg increased cellular glucose metabolism). To me, these unknowns warrant some caution, especially if I can make reductions in exposure without any reduction in utility.
The short answer is that there is no difference.

The longer answer is that CC0 is not a licence – it's a public domain declaration. With CC0, you relinquish all rights to the work, including copyright. With MIT-0, you still hold the copyright; you're just allowing people to do whatever they want with the work.

Another difference is the one you alluded to. CC0 is designed for written content, images, videos, etc. It's not really designed for code/software. That's not to say you can't use it for software, however. MIT-0, on the other hand, is designed for code.

So, in essence, these two legal instruments are in a sense equivalent, but there is enough nuance there that it could make a difference in a court of law, depending on how they are interpreted.

There's also the fact that CC0 is quite a mature piece of text at this point, whereas MIT-0 is the new kid on the block. That might be something to consider, too.

Also, obligatory disclaimer that I'm not a lawyer and that this does not constitute legal advice.
This is an article that resonated with me in handling another kind of loss: https://whatsyourgrief.com/growing-around-grief/

Lois Tonkin described a model that grief doesn’t shrink - what seems to be a common thought, and also mine - but that your life around that grief grows to become larger. So, handling loss is less about “moving on” and more “moving with”.
Yes, thus this advise is free: And no one should spend 4.50 on coffee. It's a bad habit - spending it on absolving oneself from procrastination is even worse. Better spend $10 on "Getting things done"

I think its fair to ask for payment, but I think it should be waaaay cheaper. I know a few maintainers of really good, productive open source software, and some of them earn about 4000-5000€ per month from it. I feel like 1€ per month would be a price that I'm both willing to pay and feels fair towards the developer. If they can get a few thousand users they could make this their only job, and it doesn't feel like this is a site that would require multiple employees.
One high level way of analyzing a phrase centred around a verb is to break it down into the agent (actor performing the verb) and its patients (things acted upon). Most of the time in English, the actor corresponds with the subject of the sentence and the patient with the direct object. (I see the dog. Agent - I. Patient - the dog.)

That's whre the active/passive terminology comes from. Is the agent present in the sentence? Is it in its usual position as the subject? Then it's active.

The passive voice is when you de-promote an agent from its usual place. In English this transform is accomplished with the patient becoming the grammatical subject with to be as an auxiliary verb, and the agent is either deleted entirely or tacked on as an adverbial. "The dog was seen (by me)."

IMO, the style guides are overly prescriptive about this. Sometimes de-emphasizing the agent is exactly what you want to do. After all, such style guides effectively insist that Ronald Reagan should have said "I made mistakes", not "mistakes were made".

(As an interesting footnote, as far as I'm aware, every language has this form of transformation. It's in all tho Indo-European ones, as well as Chinese, and ancient Akkadian, amongst others I've read a bit about.)

Also too expensive and too abusive. It tends to select for people who are willing to put up with almost anything in exchange for the status of being an MD, not for people who are motivated to provide quality care for their patients.
I’m not sure this is proving the point you want to make. Arguably the 2022 results are more relevant. If you ignore whether the results are ads or not, the top results in 2022 are all toothpaste brands and lead you to toothpaste websites.

The way we search has also changed. In 2022, if you’re searching “toothpast”, you’re much more likely to be looking to make an online purchase of toothpaste than in 2009.

Unlike some other comments, I do not think legislating once more on google is the answer.

I think it is up to the people to educate themselves, promote better alternatives to people they know and use it (audience drop WILL make google change it's ways) .

One of my geeky friend once told me "I am no longer sure if the internet going to the masses is a good thing"

EDIT : to clarify the comment above, I think internet is a wonderful tool, but by our choices/lack of actions, we allowed it to become what it is now.
A doctor who is not a dentist knows probably the same about teeth as you.
I know where the talking about trust comes from, it comes from the theories of knowledge by testimony in epistemology, but as I've tried to convince others in an academic context, these theories might be flawed themselves. Apart from very simple "the cat is on a mat" type of examples, there might be no "knowledge by testimony." For example, contrary to what people sometimes insinuate, you cannot gain genuine knowledge from reading a textbook and simply trusting the source, and I cannot imagine a single instance in my academic life where this would have made sense. Science and philosophy require a skeptical attitude. Trust may play a role but theories of knowledge by testimony overemphasize it.

By the same token, nobody needs to trust authorities and institutions. What goes astray in conspracy theories is not trust in testimony per se, but the judgement of one's own abilities and epistemic position versus those of others. People have a natural bias of overestimating their own abilities but with modern media this has gone completely astray; even well-educated people have started to confuse genuine knowledge with knowing where to look up allaged facts. Somebody with a realistic attitude towards their own abilities is able to correctly judge when someone else knows more about a subject matter. This doesn't mean that you have to or should trust that other person, but - if you insist in putting this in terms of trust, which I don't recommend - you need to be able to recognize when you cannot trust your own judgement more than that of others.

Losing this ability to evaluate one's own epistemic capacity versus that of others in a subject matter seems to be a rather natural consequence of the liberation of knowledge by the internet. The same phenomenon of misjudging one's own abailities might have existed with owners of the complete volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica, only those were extremely rare, already very educated, and it was probably harder to recognize.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I believe that epistemologists are wrong to consider "knowledge by testimony" necessarily based on trust, or at least the role of trust in it is overrated and the phrase "knowledge by testimony" is doubtful to start with. Trust in authorities is not needed, what is needed is a correct judgement of one's own beliefs in relation to those of others, and this requires intellectual humility. If people would conclude from comspiracy theories that they should remain agnostic about certain subject matters and leave those to experts who spent more time delving into them, they would not be a problem at all - they would simply just be what they are, more or less outlandish hypotheses and alternative explanations with a certain lack of publicly verifiable evidence. The problem is that people lack intellectual humility and form very strong beliefs about subject matters they haven't studied in detail.

My 2 cents, sorry for the long rant. It is based on substantial disagreement with colleagues about this topic.

The issue is twofold.

The first issue is that like I originally mentioned, microtransactions disproportionately affect neurodivergent individuals because of the addictive mechanics used to implement them. The concept of 'whales' is a term used to refer to big spenders in a game economy without fully examining the reason they are spending so much. For example, where you can only buy one copy of Elden Ring, you could easily buy a new copy of Forza every year and buy each car, which may be a compulsion if you have OCD, for example. The same argument could be (and should be) made against tiered subscription services in games. If there is a lootbox mechanic involved, the issue is only compounded further as it is an introduction of gambling mechanics. In some cases, it can be worth examining the presence of envy economics 'Oooh I want was they have! How much is it? Oh I want it more now I know!'.

The second issue is the scale difference is ridiculous. The amount of dev and artist time to produce a game sits at around 1.5 to 4 years and sometimes much more. There is a large number of artistic assets that are used in combination with code when making a game and those assets are paid for using the proceeds from the game sales. When micro transactions are produced, a fraction of those assets are divided out of the main game (or less often, added later) and can be produced on a 6 month cycle to be sold separately. To be explicit, the amount of assets made in a microtransaction is FAR less than those used to make the game, but often the price of the microtransaction does not reflect this (again, refer to Forza and the $200 car dlc for a minimum-$100 game). This means that either the publisher or the developer team (including art team) is receiving that margin, and if you think the developers are receiving a proportionate amount of that margin then I have some bad news for you.

To be clear, I think game monetisation is OK. But that does not mean all forms of monetisation are OK, and it definitely does not mean that diluting a product in a harmful way is OK.
Thanks, that "time-to-live" feature is a great exemple of what I was talking about. At work if I remember correctly it was something about not being able to read a write just after making it, and having to wait one second. I guess that's the kind of things where you either need people to be very careful when developing the implementation, or have people that have already been burned by that to think about that.
> For me, that's a screen under 10 inches

I used to lug around Acer W4-821 [0] with 8.1" screen. It was almost perfect for me, because it fit nicely in the pockets of my coats in the winter and was small enough to fit in a messenger bag in the warmer seasons.

It also was light and small enough to actually use while standing and even could be used with one hand as a ebook reader (or reading looong pages).

No, thanks. For ocassional SSH/RDP session it is fine but for anything else it is PITA, and newer versions of Android make leaps and leaps to incorporate the walled sandbox iOS-style for the user data. If you mean "professional's" then I need a control over my data (and apps), not Googlemerate.

8GB should be a good start. On the before mentioned W4-821 I managed to run CentOS in VirtualBox, on Windows and still be able to do things. That thing had 2GB of RAM.

No thanks!

You're right in a sense. Everything is a game. I personally hate these discount games at commercial venues. Maybe the gamification might not work on everybody, and it might work better on people who also collect stamps for free coffee.

But are we talking 'transactional analysis' now? Or does 'gamification' still mean creating artificial challenges and rewards, like in computer games?

Habits are pretty personal, not some external thing like collecting stamps for a free something-something. And that, to me, is the hard part about habit tracking/changing apps. The motivation and rewards for change becomes offloaded on something else. Which might work for some use cases, for a while.

> Games are powerful for making us achieve things we don't necessarily want to do.

Parents are also pretty powerful for this goal, just as the rest of real life. ;)
I agree that HN is not the best for long-form discussions. However, I'd say that content on HN is not as short-lived as a tweet thanks to the features I talked about. I think that's part of why it feels specials compared to Twitter/Facebook for example.
I think yes, because of:
1. First transistor was field-gate which (unless bipolar transistor) shares some of principles. For example, some engineers of sound amplifiers (Николай Сухов) insist on having field-gate transistor or vacuum tube on input cascade.
2. There are lots of transistor connections evolved from vacuum tubes connection, like cascode.
3. There are some triodes in which filament serves as cathode. It is almost a transistor except of needness to have two input lines for a cathode (instead of three inputs in regular triode - one input for cathode and two inputs for filament for letting cathode to emit).
Your link is one person identifying as sceptic and who just circles around to the "non-ionizing can't harm" claim, again. The other attacks the publishing journal. Where were you going with this?

None of the commenters seem to bother to discover that the science review in question looks at DNA-damage and oxidative-stress mediated through other pathways than direct ionization. As I said: its more about complex biology, than simple physics/chemistry. Its about the sum of parts, not the reductionism that plagues the field of RF and health.
>someone who is doing actual research that doesn’t go with the grain of consensus

...gets marginalised. This has always been true in research. But now that we can all do research, of an OSINT sort, this is happening more.

Usually when amateur researchers try to engage with and/or question the consensus/professional researchers, they are met with silence. Even when they point out good evidence; that you might call "inconvenient truths".

I've worked in academia so I have sympathy; you get plenty of approaches from true crackpots [0]. Researchers/academics/professional need to learn to better engage with the amateurs, and those peers they marginalise, who genuinely try to contribute to the debate.

Xavier Niel, a (self-made) French billionaire, founder/owner/president of a few tech companies, said the same thing. And as a result he founded a series of schools (called 42) to "fix" that and provide a more realistic and practical education, focusing on tools and problem solving and critical thinking and industry experience through long internships. Completely free of charge for students.

As an alumni (kinda), it was awesome and IMHO has served me very well in my career.
Unless you don't agree on the definition of "stable", there's not much to say. You simply cannot define a country with an 8 years long conflict as "stable", whichever the reasons for this conflict are.

> Russian forces helped those who wanted to take up arms against Ukraine.
> Had there been no Russian help, things would look very different.

What you said is true but it fails to provide the context of why these people took up arms against their own government. This is a complicated topic and I don't have the time nor the will to write an in-depth answer, but had there be no Russian help there would be thousands more dead civilians in Donbas rather than the ~3000 there are now.
Articles threatening (major) tech companies source of funding should not be flagged ab initio on a website devoted to (major) tech companies.
