The most useful psychological technique I've found is Internal family systems (IFS). If you do it with a therapist, it can be very powerful, and mind bending, like a psychedelic trip. The way it helps productivity is when I can't motivate myself to do various tasks I use IFS to explore what's going on in my brain that fuels that procrastination.

It takes me to memories and dusty corners of my brain that I rarely visit that form the foundations of my identity. The only bad part about it is one really needs a therapist to guide oneself when one goes deep and visits what IFS calls "exiles".
Why do you need to keep state here? I can see calculating the prices dynamicly, but why save and the reuse the result?

I'm confused why a pill reminder app is driven by the internet at all. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the pill reminder app send a local notification at the appropriate time?
> Why do you feel the need to do so many extra-curricular activities related to child education?

Because this is Hong Kong, and if you want to get into a good high school, and then a good university later in life, this is what you do here, unless either A) your kid has really high IQ and would skip years or B) you are rich and don't mind just paying your way through international schools.

My kids are not case A), and I'm not rich enough for B).

Schools here ask you "what credentials do you have (other then regular education)?", "have you won any competition?", etc. I'm not even doing that much, compared to other really competitive families.
The other suggestions here are great as well, I just wanted to add that you should avoid alcohol. It wasn’t until a psychiatrist suggested it that I realized “holy crap”, after I drink I am more anxious in general for 2-3 days.

For me at least it doesn’t seem to matter how much I drink, even a couple glasses of wine with dinner will make me more anxious the next day, but it does seem to scale up with intake. YMMV.

Edit: as another comment suggested, CBT would very likely help, particularly if you’re nervous about certain things and there’s no “real” reason for it.

If there’s a specific reason behind the anxiety (like worrying about a language barrier with the dentist), then CBT probably wouldn’t be my first priority.
The quick version:

- The bridge was controlled by a 5 of 9 validator set (ie. 5 of the 9 nodes needed to agree to withdrawals and deposits between Ethereum and Ronin)

- 4 of these nodes were run by Sky Mavis themselves (a bad idea), those were compromised because their internal infra was compromised in some traditional social engineering attack (ie. not blockchain related, just a normal cloud infra compromise)

- 1 of the nodes was run by the community-operated Axie DAO. However, that node had whitelisted Sky Mavis' cloud infrastructure a while back to allow them to run transactions through Axie DAO's node in order to use Axie DAO treasury funds to pay gas on user's behalf (to help with onboarding into Ronin).

This was discontinued, but they forgot to remove the whitelist (another critical mistake), so the hackers were able to use that Axie DAO node for the final 5th verification needed to steal bridge funds (because they had compromised the whitelisted Sky Mavis cloud infra).

TLDR: A traditional cloud infra compromise via unspecified social engineering attack, compounded by an insufficiently decentralized validator set allowing the bridge funds to be "withdrawn" to hacker's wallets by forging fake signatures. This is why decentralization is important in blockchain infra, and they learned the hardest way possible.

Hope that helps!

You can discourage that. And people move on to jobs where they can pad their resume, and it gets harder and harder to hire people because they don't see a future in your "boring tech stack".
No, it isn't a legitimate concern. Even if Russia bordered with only NATO countries it wouldn't mean they are in any danger of getting invaded. Because NATO doesn't invade.

NATO is only legitimate danger to the Russia interests in bordering countries like the one they are currently pursuing in the Ukraine, by commiting warcrimes among other things.
> At a high level they're trying to solve a worthy problem: proof of personhood for crypto... There are a whole class of ideas in crypto that require one wallet/address to correspond to one single person.

This is such a bad dumb framing for a bad dumb idea, I can't stop laughing. Godspeed you fucked up technofascists.
I hadn't spotted that, thanks!
It's entirely different though, you can't compare short form to long form journalism. Twitter is a real time item platform, things happen in an instant. Most people don't even know that NYTs changes stories and it's actually a big deal that they do and that they are generally not transparent about it, which is why such third parties do track it. An edit button on Twitter is a horrible idea. If they do it, they better put a time limit on it, that's 30 seconds to a minute.
I think it’s because most of the time a lag of a couple hours is in fact a big deal. Let’s look at some common use cases:

- If I want push notifications for meetings, I want to get them exactly 10 minutes before my meeting, not 2 hours after, or 10 minutes before but +/- 30 minutes

- If a customer is submitting a critical bug to my bug tracker, I want to know immediately so I can start damage control.

- If a developer on my team responds to my comments on a Pull Request at 3PM, I don’t want to get the notification after I’ve clocked out at 5, causing us to essentially lose a day of work.

In practice, I don’t think there are many use cases where people don’t care about the punctuality of push notifications. And if you start by tackling those use cases and then an important customer says “hey, I actually need punctuality for this new class of notifications”, then you’ll suddenly need to rebuild your whole notifications stack.
I'm not sure I agree. I'd prefer working on a boring MVC software, being proud of it being reliable and having the time to work on features my customers will genuinely like rather than extinguishing fires every weeks and adding band-aids everywhere..
Is doing so illegal? No. Can you demand the company accept Plan W? Also no.

You are basically just giving a counter offer, the company can choose to accept or reject that offer. There have been cases (cba to google them right now, just going off my memory) where customers have done what you have suggested, the company have blindly accepted the "counter offer" and have had to honour the amended contract they agreed to.

EDIT: The problems happen when trying to enforce such amended contracts, trying to prove the company agreed to such changes. For me when I'm negotiating my annual broadband contract I record the phone call (granted I'm in the UK, recording calls as an indivial is legal) just to make sure I have a record of what was agreed. But my current provider has always followed up with a updated contract after the phone call with the new terms, so it would be easy for me to prove that my provider agreed to those terms. My current provider agreed to a price which is £1 per month cheaper than the cheapest like fore like competitor I could find at the time and also agreed to waive any cancelation charges if I choice to cancel before the end of the 12 month contract.

However a) been pretty happy with their service todate so unless the shit hits the fan I have no plans to leaving them unless b) my local area finally gets FTTP but if that does happen I will prob use my current provider as my FTTP provider. So they really don't have any risk of myu cancelling during the current contract.
Honestly I classify "panic rooms" as "very dumb ideas" of the same kind we see in movies, where people "flee to the roof" (of course without any chopper or something else to escape from it) or try to protect themselves form shooting using fridge doors and sofas.

The LAST thing to do is self-trapping themselves while an assaulter have plenty of time to acquire anything to act against you.

Beside that, not being "rich" but definitively wealthy I choose to flee a big city for a mountain area, hydro-geologically stable, with enough services, not too remote, but still not "sub-urban" or "urban", just because seeing the public parts of Green New Deal, New Urban Agenda etc I realize that in the near future from skyrocketing unrest to cities more and more similar to modern Chinese "Model Cities" that's a needed move to preserve a bit of freedom still not becoming an eremite.

I do that few years before covid and covid itself prove the good aim, here I'm not in a castle, nor a bunker, nor something apt for military defenses BUT I have room for domestic p.v. with storage, freezers, fridge, ... to be not really autonomous but at least have reasonable "buffers" for pretty anything (water, food, energy, a bit of redundant 'devices' etc) enough to suffer less from potential future unreliable services and sporadic scarcity, if both will not happen I'm still shielded from price rises, anything will be paid back even if in a not so little time. Doing more is complicated, I'm an IT guy not a farmer and becoming a farmer is not much interested economically compared to IT nor much easy in the present and probably near-future conditions. In any case autarchy is a bit utopia since I can't produce anything I use at home without evolving toward a small nation-State with enough resources to have enough nukes to protect myself so...

Long story short I think articles about panic-rooms, emigration to NZ etc are more PR than something else. Especially in the terms they narrate.
Why not send them to the burn address? Gonna cost you money to get rid of them anyhow, Ox0 is easy to remember

...but this is just another way that the permissionless system fails on the basics. I have no way to prevent or block someone from putting things in my wallet
If the service wants to make sure the keys can't be copied then it will need remote attestation for either the whole system or just the TPM (what you called "key attestation") to ensure that the client isn't cheating. If it's only the client that doesn't want the keys to be copied they have any number of options for that and no attestation is needed. I assumed your article was promoting the former as the latter really isn't interesting at all.
Personal experience is the medium of life itself. I’m surprised to hear you give it so little space in the discussion. I weigh personal experience (especially multiple anecdotes from credible sources) about as high as I weigh expert opinion.
Just a question: are you a young person? I’ve just seen the experts be pants on head wrong many times, and that has an effect. I’ve also specifically been burned by overconfident doctors, so add that to the important anecdote pile.

If the science doesn’t align with the anecdotes (on any topic that isn’t partisan politics), then that makes me want to investigate the science, not toss out the anecdotes.
Probably because the AI thinks it is better to ignore your input because it can be profitable to give you the Pinterest results.

I fundamentally don't understand what the bruhaha is here? If you edit a tweet then obviously Twitter should prevent interaction with previous versions of the tweet. Perhaps each Tweet will get two IDs, the standard Tweet ID from Snowflake and then a version? However the case, it should just prevent commentary (quotes, retweets, and replies) if the tweet being referenced is older than the current version of the tweet with a client-side error. For display it should only display user interactions with the most recent version of the tweet with somewhere to click to see previous versions with their interactions. Nothing is lost, nothing breaks, maybe some clients need some minor updates but even that shouldn't be difficult.

Am I missing something?
The idea, as I see it, is that with government issued money, you either need to collect the money somehow first, or if the UBI is to be done by the govt, the govt has to be convinced to issue the money,

whereas, with a cryptocurrency, it can just be issued exactly in accordance with the UBI payout, where the designers need no permission from the govt, and where recipients aren’t limited to a particular country. If the issuance produces too much devaluation of the token, well, then the experiment didn’t work, but it didn’t interfere with people’s existing savings or the like.
> such things should never happen

The space where things should never happen is fertile ground for bugs, because by definition programmers pay less attention / do less testing when they think failure is impossible :)

> MapReduce/Hadoop is a soft target at this point because even the cargo culters have realized that the planes ain’t en route.

Side question: what is the state of Hadoop? I remember it had a huge ecosystem, but a lot of it seemed half-baked and is dying, so I'm curious how popular it still is, what other tools people are using for massive data transforms, and which parts of the ecosystem (Pig, Hive, etc.) ended up being popular vs. dead ends.
This was mind blowing.
I dislike this and it should go away.

Firstly, anything which normalises surveillance by citizens on citizens is a death spiral for society. On top of that the £14.99 for 1000 credits approach empowers only the lunatic classes of society who would consider that as a price worth paying to get people into trouble.

Secondly, I have problems with the accuracy claims here which are presented disingenuously. The measurement of vehicle wheelbase and the system clock and frame rate is seen as the reference with no mention of the issues with accurately measuring that nor issues like frame stalling and jitter.

Thirdly, this will create a lot of noise for law enforcement agencies which may mask other higher priority crimes.

That's what I meant by dropping cable, but they'd only cut my bill by $3.
Right, you cannot offer a service contingent on providing PII if you do not need that PII to run the service.

Thus Airbnb might need your PII to lease you a house, but Thomson Reuters does not need it to give you a news article.
I note you don't mention how much lower is the opex or when they'd start making money on that investment? A weirdly short term view.

They should market this to the nosy busy-bodies on NextDoor.

Can anybody explain why they would install an app like this? What ever happened to people minding their own business?
To take that a step further, I wont code malware. I've never been asked but I'd refuse if I was. Everyone has their choices.

> Sites like reddit and HN also allow edits in certain contexts/timeperiods

On Reddit and HN it is also commonly considered etiquette to have append-only comments, writing "EDIT:" in front of the addition to make it clear to readers what is going on. Moreover, reddit indicates in the GUI that a comment has been edited, unless you do it very quickly. Kind of like a git commit, changing a comment that people have already read is considered undesirable.

Reddit also stopped allowing edits of post titles, because it was subject to too much abuse. Twitter is going to face similar problems.
It's not "old text editors". There are current tools for viewing source (pull requests/diffs a prime example) that are extremely good at what they do but are language agnostic. As is so often said, code is read more than it's written. If I can't understand the source without pulling it into my IDE, that adds a lot of friction to these reading tasks.
Sounds like you have good kids. Congratulations. I know parents with good kids and I know way more parents with bad kids. The parents with good kids will generally claim they did a better job raising their kids. The parents with bad kids will generally claim the good parents just got lucky. Me, I can't tell. I certainly see most (not all) parents with bad kids doing things that IMO help make their kid bad. Of course there are so many influences on kids on top of the gene lottery so ???

In any case, I've always hoped for your experience.
If he has good certainty that he could've made 200k in the same period, I think it is useful to count it as money lost. People very often lose sight of the power of "money in hand". Had he done "something else", he'd have a nice and cool 200k in his pockets right now. 200k which can be put to further work, which will compound over time. Even more, while those 200k are working, the dude can be working too accumulating further wealth. Compound returns are truly the 8th wonder of the world, but many people just see the promise of 0 to billionaire through some unicorn startup, while there are countless people going 0 to millionaire even if they play it comparably safe.

Don't scoff at the person who works a relatively ordinary corporate job but manages to accumulate a respectable wealth over a decade or two. There are countless startup bros who go through a dozen failed attempts in the mean time with nothing but experience to show for it. That experience may be useful at some point in the future, but it's entirely unrealized value. On the other hand, having 500k wealth to your name which is invested and growing is tangible value right now which itself can be used to fund future endeavors.
Because that would be a pull and not a push.

Not that there is anything wrong with that, and in many use cases it would be a fine alternative. But sometimes you really do need to push data to the user even if they aren’t polling for it.

Pill reminders would be something that you’d want to push. You can’t be sure the user is running your app (even in the background), and the actual state changes are rare. So some kind of mechanism where the client doesn’t initiate the check would be better.

Using a long poll for email or slack or something like that can make more sense in some
scenarios.
It's not just "2 years". Two years is a really long time for a young startup given they effectively operate using dog years
They're pretty important questions imho because if you can just compromise 2/3 the validators in a BFT network "like that" then the whole idea of BFT-based chains is broken.
If you could make arbitrarily large numbers of accounts that each receive the token, that would break the system
It also tends to kill the person doing the speeding, which is something they probably know, and they choose to do it anyway. Seeing that as an opportunity to inject yourself into an enforcement role does not seem like a decision designed to actually improve safety for everyone.

Some areas in China had a program like this. Turn people in, get a payment from the local government. What you would see is people going out, intentionally driving badly near other drivers in an effort to get them to speed away or make an illegal move just to get away from them, or to even start road raging in return and then they would start recording after the fact.

Finally, the last time I looked at the data, the correlation between speed and pedestrian deaths was not at all clear. Time of day was a much stronger point of correlation. The majority of pedestrian deaths happen after sun down and on the sides of road types you would not expect. I'm not sure how arming people with this rather unsocial technology is going to solve this exact problem.
I gave up on getting these modes to consistently format. It seems really fragile and never quite right. So now I just have prettierjs set up and I don’t have to think about it.

How did you learn that keyboard exists? It is not on their keyboard page. Kinesis needs a better organized site.

I got the Freestyle2 a few weeks ago, enjoying it, still have some issues finding the navigation keys, home, end etc. I really like having my arms pointed straight rather than angled in like with a normal keyboard. Keys are a bit mushy, went from cherry blues.
Maybe, but not everyone uses the internet equally.

Educated people, professors, lawyers, doctors, programmers, and others with desk jobs are more likely to participate heavily in social media than the uneducated and, working class, and menial laborers.

Just because most people have a Facebook account doesn't mean that representation is equal, and there is no reason to expect that a preponderance of lefty posts necessarily implies systemic bias.
Waste heat from a power plant in one part of the country can't be sent to heat homes in another. That's the very heart of the matter.
