Overall I left for a reason and it wasn’t just about the money because my old company offered to match. I feel excited about my work in a way I haven’t felt in years. There’s no way my old company could have given me that. It’s hard to build up a new reputation but it’s totally worth it just to not feel that terrible boredom/burnout feeling anymore. People are nicer and it’s a much better work culture too. And pay is better. No regrets yet.
I wish more people would discover the power of this technique.

But ultimately, this is a fool's errand -- people who say they don't lie are almost always lying. Given how much of our brains have evolved to evince the hidden intentions of others, the result of this cat-and-mouse game requires lying to oneself first so as to more effectively convince others.

Just look at any conversation about "equality." Through their revealed preferences you can see that almost no one really believes in it but for their socioeconomic well-being they managed to convince themselves of it.

People will say "we moved for the schools" because they don't have the intellectual integrity and moral courage to say "we moved to avoid Africans and, to a lesser extent, Hispanics". The proliferation of BLM signage in these same areas is simply a testament to the arising false consciousness, as is the scorn they heap on the poorer members of their own cohort who cannot afford to avoid the Diversity Strenf they claim to cherish.

What an unfortunate way to go through life.

TLDR; how do you plan to not lie to your kids when you can't stop lying to yourself?
> How does that work if you don’t want to bake a cake?

This will be a better argument when vaccine choices are added to the list of protected classes. That does not seem too likely, however, given that it is a choice rather than an immutable characteristic.
The world is getting more complex, rather than less and the requirements to compete in that world are increasing.

Giving up on math is giving up on the future.
I would say https://github.com/arogozhnikov/einops should be pretty close to your requirments
Two thoughts here, one is that finding a different job that you find more fulfilling - maybe in some sort of mission driven or tech for good type company might be good. The other is that it sounds like you might benefit from speaking with a coach of some sort, they can be great at helping you find your way.
Unless I'm in enough of a hurry to not be able to spend 15 minutes walking or I need to haul stuff, absolutely.
Not all your trips can be replaced with a bike, but if some do that's still a win. IMO there is a ton of low hanging fruit. For example, in rush hour traffic when I drive to work its 35-45 mins, because you are crawling at 16mph. On a bike it actually takes the same amount of time or less sometimes, because I can split lanes and come up to the front of lights vs having to wait through multiple cycles sometimes. Sure you are working but IMO the cardio is probably better for me than sitting for 45 mins straight. Ebikes are great too if you have some hills but imo even with just a road bike you can go for pretty far on flats without getting sweaty without having to be in great shape thanks to the gearing and how light the bike is. A ride able old schwinn road bike might only be $50 on craigslist too, so pretty disposeable if they get stolen often. You can throw your bike on renters insurance too if you werent aware for your ebike, maybe homeowners too.
> Looks like the vaccine creates a broader set of antibody responses than natural infection does.

That was the theory, but it is not being borne out by the actual data. See below.

> If you want the population to be protected against the next wave of illness, this is the way to go.

The data coming out of the UK and Israel does not support this claim. Their populations are already vaccinated and boosted at percentages much higher than those in the US, but those vaccinated and boosted people are still getting infected and are still being hospitalized and dying in significant numbers.
In the past I've done something like this: pick the neighborhood you're interested in. Go there and walk or drive around looking for "For Rent" signs. Look at public bulletin boards in markets and laundromats. Start making calls.

That worked in the 1990s. Not sure it's viable today.
Thank you for that, I actually do most of those things and they have been helpful.
Loyalty is for people, not corporations. I also don't think generalizing about what "companies deserve" is super useful, and definitely not something to internalize.

Personally, I feel a moral duty to do my best work wherever I happen to be employed, but it's still transactional. If they treat me well, and the work is interesting, I'm more likely to stay, but it's not an obligation. Now, if some individuals really stick their neck out for me, that does buy some loyalty, but only within reason. At the end of the day it's still a business and when the winds shift leadership will have to put the overall business health ahead of individuals.
There's a lot of necessary legal analysis missing here, and independent creation of an idea plays no part in it. Copyright protects creative expressions (i.e., artistic works), not mere ideas.

I think what you’re trying to say is that independent creation would be a basis to deny a prima facie copyright infringement claim: there is no infringement because no copy has occurred. But that’s a different thing than an affirmative defense. A defense is something you raise after admitting the truth of the claim: you’re basically saying, “yes, I did it, but I’m justified because XYZ.”
As can Christians, aethists, or whomever else. Are you arguing that we should remove religion from the list of protected classes? A bit harder than most of the others since it happens to be in the constitution, but whatever, I'm open to that idea...
If someone thinks the Government doesn't solve problems, they can just look at the 1929-1934 and how problems got "solved" under free market capitalism (before the massive government interventions starting in 1934).

(we now consider that period to be a giant mistake specifically because the government did not do enough and left free markets to their own accord)
You seem to be missing a critical point.

As a consequence of implementing some of these kernel functions in user space, it is not possible to determine object lifetimes or track mutable references at compile-time. Any object created in memory that bypasses the kernel mechanisms is unsafe as far as Rust is concerned. In a database, the vast majority of your objects are constructed on this type of memory.

You can implement this in Rust, but essentially the entire database kernel will be "unsafe". At which point, why bother with Rust? C++ is significantly more expressive at writing this type of code, and it is not trivial even in C++.
Which seems fair. I do not want to be bombarded by AI generated media and content that can be created at infinite volume and speed. Google is taking a massive step here for the good.

> I have never seen this level of information warfare in my life. Both sides are pushing transparent lies and disinformation, eagerly amplified by social media accounts and big newspapers alike. I will never trust any history book ever again.

Well, lucky you, you can go to Ukraine to check whether corpses of children and women massacred by Russian armies in this war of aggression are real. you don't have to trust a book.
I don’t know… I was tested when I was 12 yo and got a 142, I am an extremely balanced, relaxed and happy person. Great self esteem too.
I'm actually going for my yearly physical and will ask for a blood work. I typically do that once every two years but doesn't hurt to check them again.
as some have already mentioned, I usually like to spend time cooking. Like you, I was also feeling low energy. I spent most of my evenings laying on the sofa and watching stupid things on Netflix.

Working from home forces me to cook all my meals. Since I'm usually too busy to do it during lunch time, I was forced to cook them at the evenings. What I realized was that cooking and doing dishes took around 1 hour of my evening. More importantly than that, it became of the few moments of my day where I'm not using any phone/screens/tech.

That, by itself, gives me an extra charge. It's really liberating to let your mind disconnect from work and focus on something completely different.

Regarding workouts, I'm a morning person type. I hit the gym and swim 5x week during the mornings. But I can't stress enough how important doing something is. For me, skipping my exercise routine is the difference of a great and a shitty day.
Because sometimes there aren't even sidewalks from the suburban tract to the Old Town they are reviving, much less a safe way to bike let alone a bus route with any reasonable level of frequency. So they have to do it because There Is No Alternative. That's why actually having alternatives on offer are important.
There was a relevant discussion earlier today in which I commented [0]. Read the parent comment too. The point we were making is that nondiscrimination against homosexuality (or anything) should be automatic, and not have anything to do with whether it's genetic or not. The argument that somehow it's more important because its immutable" is ridiculous- if some later study decided it was learned, would that change something? Anyway, that has no bearing the the "cake" business because that was about the cake, not the attributes of the client. And the analogy is very relevant regardless, because it's about hypocrisy in telling private businesses what to do.

> My dream kitchen for having people over is located right by the front door and has a big table, big windows, great lighting, and a coffee/tea/minibar near the entrance. It should have a mix of plush seating and stools/wooden chairs. People should not have to walk through the chef part of the kitchen in order to access the rest of the house, but they should have to at least go by it. And I will of course unlock the door so all my friends will come by for coffee every day

Sounds like what you want is open a café!
And its naive to think advertising companies don’t want in on people’s dreams, that’s totally natural for them

No, no it isn't natural. "Companies" are ultimately made up of, and run by, people. And anybody who deserves the title "human being" ought to be able to see that this is an abso-fucking-lutely horrible idea. Anybody who would sign off on deploying this is a shitty fucking scumbag who deserves no respect whatsoever.
I’d go with an always lit “HAM BISCUITS” and two signs below that say “AVAILABLE” and “SOLD OUT”, one lit and one dark, to be super explicit.

The problem with a green sign is that it might not stand out against a properly painted bike shed…
Yep. Grew up in an era when mechanical typewriters were the standard "tech" of the day for writing. And yep, it's far more difficult. Finger strength, key jamming, and the regular use of white out fluid, or pen ink markup to correct first drafts. Listening for the margin warning bell and deciding on the fly if you should reach for the carriage return lever or push your luck. Centering titles by counting the letters, dividing by two and adjusting the carriage to suit. Oh yeah. Funsies. Don't miss those days. In speed tests for clerical positions, e.g. secretary in a law office, etc, backspacing to fix something meant the loss of a word in your speed rating.
1: I don't know if either are a greater danger necessarily. Numerous laws or regulations that are overall harmful could be enacted on the behalf if individuals the same as the group although one could assume that the group has greater power in their numbers. But on the same hand, there are a same number if individuals so that seems difficult to judge to me

2: the more I think about this, the less I know how to answer

3: Currently in the US, the balance seems to be derived through voting and lobbying but large groups seem to have more power in that case, although it could be said that many of these groups aren't working for the greater good (what I refer to as the society or collective) but instead serve individual or private interests of a few

It seems that we need more robust mechanisms to ensure balance in society from my perspective
With code, as long as it works, so what. Plus learning a language requires copying to learn how to do it correctly. Would you want to be required to be completely original learning French? It makes no sense to burn people for doing what it took industry decades to figure out.
Religion is a choice and not an immutable characteristic, yet that is also a protected class.
Does OpenAI actually have those systems? My impression is they are happy to take your money and just tell you not to do those un-nice things
Absolutely agree. High speed internet is a luxury people want more than getting the vaccine.

Phones barely work in your typical college dorm anyways, depending on building materials.
I really wish Haxe would just take off in the application development world, it had so much potential to be what Typescript has become with the benefit of transpiling to different languages. We theoretically could have had 1 single programming language for a full application with JS front end, Django server, C++ workers, the best of all worlds.
Crazy, probably 3x what would be reasonable per kWh in Australia.

very cool! does anyone remember Microsoft Encarta? they had something similar where you can walk in Persepolis and interact with it.
Maybe not university wide but lots of programs like nursing and medicine required vaccines to participate prior to COVID. My mom needed to be update on her shots 30+ years ago while in nursing school. The pandemic is also a bit of a unique beast so it's understandable to make it campus wide.
Nothing infuriates me more than googling for a problem I’m having and finding a relevant issue that’s been closed by a bot as “stale”.

I _get_ that I don’t have any right to free maintenance, but the stale bot paints some veneer of process around a maintainer thinking “issue looks hard, doesn’t affect me, so I don’t care”. I would just so much prefer them to be honest and just say that rather than passive-aggressively send me emails every 30 days warning that my issue is becoming stale or whatever.
Good point, I do try to eat a carb heavy meal the night before my workout days to have the glycogen stored in my muscles.
the "rule of law" began with the magna charta, a first limiter to the "divine right of kings". We dont see these or other checks and balances in illiberal / undemocratic countries and if there are, they got dismantled to devolve in autocracies. See Uncle Xi with deng xiaoping checks and balances reforms.
> and in a fairly utilitarian modern lifestyle we just don't make as much mess, our meals are simpler.

Maybe there's also something to be said about learning to accept some degree of "uncleanliness" in our kitchen and not only, not everything needs to be tidy/good-looking.
Reread the second paragraph. We're in agreement.
I can't see any other reason for spam clone farms to outrank the sites they clone except either more incompetence then I'd ascribe to Google, or because the spam farm is full to the gunwhales with ads which earn money for Google.

One of my friends worked on My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic, based on this engine. I seem to remember I had a go at reverse engineering the file format so we could script builds, rather than going through the UI? My memory might be wrong though. I didn't make much progress, if I remember correctly, and there seems to be more documentation now.

> The reason why the “bake a cake” thing was ever an actual point of controversy is because it centered around an immutable aspect of people; their sexual orientation. There is leagues of difference between denying service due to who they are vs. their behavior.

So sexuality is immutable?
Great story. It's always so weird to hear about how honor develops among thieves.
Just wanted to say I really like the terminology "hugging" to refer to denial of service or hug of death.
Are you talking about the baker who refused to make a cake for a gay wedding? I believe he won that case.

The university would probably say they are trying to keep the school safe for vulnerable students. One of my kids would likely be in the vulnerable category, so I'm somewhat sympathetic to that argument.
Man, me and my younger sister used to play MUGEN all the time on gramps ancient computer (which he barely ever touched, as he still preferred his typewriter).

As another HN user has aptly put it: "Thanks for the trip down memory lane", indeed.
I mean yes? trying to get society to the point where no one has to work to survive (food, clothing, etc) sounds really awesome. less stress and more time to spend on what really matters to someone personally
Assuming the millimeter wave drilling technology does in fact hold up (I imagine it draws a LOT of power), the re-use of existing infrastructure (drill a hole at every power station site that boils water to drive a turbine, with existing transmission in place), is brilliant because that's a huge, huge cost avoided - and indeed could be stood up in far less time (barring government approvals) than most mega-scale alternatives.

Full steam ahead!

I really don't think most people would choose to carey groceries for 10 minutes. I'd drive a half hour as opposed to carrying groceries for 10 minutes.

What's the advantage of natural reaction?

The natural reaction to viper venom is blood coagulation in the veins.

There's no reason to believe, a priori, that the natural reaction to a biological antagonist is the best one.
The point was to get rid of legacy code. Plain and simple. That’s what they have been trying to do with explorer as well. Not saying it has been going all hunky dory.
Also, I believe this specific statement regarding taskbar is their current stand - and will likely change later - considering the new taskbar is lacking so many other mission critical features which obviously take precedence over the ones which only a tiny fraction of community “want”.

A long time ago I knew someone who's parents found them an excellent apartment at a great price in Boston. Great neighborhood, 2BR, nicely kept, off-street parking, you name it. Few years later they had to move since the owner was selling the place, and went on an apartment search by themselves (using an agency). Could not find anything anywhere near nice at that price point, and settled on something a lot more expensive.

I decided that their parents must have tipped/bribed the original agent to get at that listing (since none of these ever made it to any search site, not that there were many at that time).
How significant are we talking here? How does their death rate compare with those that chose to or could not be vaccinated?
In this use that particular practice is confusing. I thought this was something that happened in 2020 from the title but it’s not.
In really competitive markets it seems like you either get lucky, or you basically know someone in the area who can hook you by word-of-mouth.

In the ancient "before times" there were also actual rental agencies where a human would look for an appropriate apartment for you. I didn't know about them, but a local NorCal person turned me on and it was the only way to find things. They followed all of the different local listings daily and knew the area fairly well (e.g. how parking, transport, different commutes would be). It was $25/mo and ~$100/yr for them to go through the listings call the renter, if necessary. They usually also collected $100 fee, if they hooked you up (though I'm sure you could work around it) with one of their (usually several times a week email of 5-10) available recommendations and usually a $50+ fee for running a "credit check". The reason it seemed to work was that the renters trusted the rental agency to only send them real referrals, and the agency knew all about scammers and fake listings, and daily follow-up. It only worked due to the relatively small area and and high volume. Each agent was looking for ~50-100 people during a month and making several $k/mo themselves, filling them typically in a few months.

Like travel agents used to be an actual thing... but now you either do it yourself on-line, or you're going on some giant family cruise thing.
An interesting thing about white collar crime - jail time is a real deterrent. It doesn't take that much jail time.[1] Routinely sending managers to jail for 30 days for time-shaving would stop that practice rapidly.

There are some of us, younger folks, who have been at a very low risk from the virus, who have initially been told that we should get vaccinated, to protect the old/weak/people at risk. So we did our part on that. Then, Omicron hit, and we got Covid anyways, and we had little to no symptoms (as expected for us, with or without vaccine), but we were still infectious of course. So the initial objective of protecting other people didn't really pan out, since we could still transmit the virus, probably to a very similar extend to if we had not gotten vaccinated at all.

Now people demand from us that we got the booster shot - for no rational reason: It doesn't help us, since we're not at risk personally. It doesn't help others, since we'll still be infectious. By getting fully vaccinated and having had the infection, we even have more protection than those who have not been infected.[0]

So some people grow suspicious to the shenanigans of politicians and pharma companies. This doesn't mean that we don't believe the vaccine works - it undoubtedly does (for those who are at risk). But there are other factors at play, and it very much seems weird, in what ways we're being indoctrinated to "trust the science" (most stupid phrase of the century by the way - science isn't about trust, but about verification.)

In the end it just very much seems like this is mostly about some business and political people lining their pockets with our money, and that causes us to reject their BS, because they've continuously been moving the goalposts in trying to manipulate us to consume their products.

I'm not trying to pitch a narrative here, I'm just talking about how people in their 20s have experienced this, and how we've been feeling about this - at least those in my social circle.

Just last month mountain lion P-104 was killed on Pacific Coast Highway about 8 miles south of where this overpass will be built, so it's a good bet this structure will eventually save the life of a mountain lion.
