Hey! Founder of The Ultimate Video Game Addiction Course [0], I've coached people through it, and about a decade ago I wracked up several thousand hours myself.

It's a really difficult issue to experience and the fact that you can face it and start to solve it is a huge step. Kudos to you.

Yes it's possible to play in moderation - I play poker and chess with friends. That said, I do my best to cut off anything if I see the warning signs of slipping back into bad habits.

Be VERY careful about watching games online - it's usually a powerful trigger.

For a few tactical pieces of advice for anyone who isn't "clean" yet:

- Changing the wiring in your brain takes time. Do your best to build new habits away from gaming each day, but know that it's unlikely to happen all at once.

- Take note of triggers (people, times of day, locations) and do what you can to remove them from your environment.

- Remove access as much as you can. If you can't do it all at once, set yourself smaller (regular) goals like being off of games for 30 mins, or for 4 hours, or for 1 day once per week. Eventually I did 1 year without a smartphone or a computer that could play games, and it really helped reset.

- You need to replace friends and activities you had with new ones outside of gaming. This takes a fair amount of work and time, but it's worth it. Self-improvement is a great area to focus on as it can give you the same sense of progression as games, and you'll meet great people. I also recommend team sports.

- Have a long hard look at anything that could be causing this escapism - it could be big and obvious, it could be subtle like a nagging stress from work, a mild existential anxiety, or one of a million other things. Journalling helps uncover this sort of thing.

- Embrace boredom. After the initial discomfort, you'll realise the boredom is not the worst thing in the world.

Lots of feedback about /bin/true, and more empty file fun
This is the thing, if they screw it up on set with the lighting, its the 'CGI' peoples fault that it looks bad.

Going on from this, I am sure for every shot that looks 'CG', that there are atleast 100 amazing VFX shots, which are seamless and hidden from people. But these are never picked up or discussed, because people dont realise they are CG.
We called it getting Hoffed. I assume it was a speedo picture.
These kind of little tweaks to symptoms of the housing shortage are ultimately useless band aids. After a decade of stopping foreigners and corporations from buying houses, slapping the wrists of landlords who have vacant units, and mandating that the bidding process is emotionally nurturing, house prices will still be higher if there is more demand than supply.

In a world where there was enough housing supply, you would just walk away from a blind bidding auction since it's a pain, and buy a bigger house for cheaper across the street.
I use Reddit is fun app and there is an option to use external browser. So clicking on Twitter link in Reddit app loads Twitter app for me.
How many days is "a few" exactly? Do you mean two days? Two weeks?

There is no actual proof that forcing everyone to "stay put for a few days" actually saved any lives. Your comment is a complete non sequitur. And, hypothetically, even if it did save lives that is not valid justification for violating the fundamental human right of peaceful assembly. (And no, there is no human right to be protected from risks.)
Wow cool!

The tiles in the PMTiles on static storage are already pre-generated. However, most storage solutions work in a single region, and don't offer great latency guarantees.

Lambda/Workers performs the computation to populate the edge cache with some vendor specific optimizations, which gets data closer to end users. There's also space to do more advanced filtering or data combination at lambda time that I'm exploring.

Agreed that the pure serverless pricing model may not be the best for all use cases. Future options I'm looking at are Fly.io and Cloud Run, I can help evaluate these for customers. There's a lot of competition and emerging products in this space.
It’s not the technology. It’s lack of vision, talent and passion combined with executive meddling.

Most directors hired consistently these days are low talent “yes people” who won’t rattle cages and will do what the execs want, produce milquetoast inoffensive movies that can be successfully marketed to China.
> I am assuming the kids who stopped having the issues would have dropped out at a higher rate.

Interesting. I suppose that could happen. I guess the opposite might also be true if they dropped out because they didn’t want to wait on therapy any longer and once they started therapy would no longer be allowed to participate in the control group.

> When almost everyone drops out of a study you should start over or make sure you get the reasons why they dropped out so you can figure out if they stopped having the issues.

Agreed. I’m not sure why the author didn’t lead with this point. This alone seems like a sufficient critique, along with the small sample size.
Not sure if you were actually kidding, but honestly is it something to start considering as an answer to Fermi’s Paradox?
I have found Carta's explainer very useful. https://carta.com/blog/equity-101-stock-option-basics/

See my other comment for what I use, TripMode, but a DNS block on *.sentry.io would block the sentry calls. I tried setting a proxy to see Warp's other network activity but only the sentry.io calls actually respect the system-wide proxy settings. Pretty annoying, though it's probably not intentional. Just takes a little more work to inspect its traffic.

Other DNS lookups it triggers:

api.segment.io
app.warp.dev
identitytoolkit.googleapis.com
o540343.ingest.sentry.io
securetoken.googleapis.com
storage.googleapis.com
These are a soft hazing ritual to remind you of good security practice to prevent anything nefarious from happening.
Problem is urban sprawl has reached its limit so more homes means more apartments. And millennials accustomed to freestanding houses in suburbs will continue to rent houses and ignore the new apartments while claiming there is still a housing crisis.
Robinhood: All Eligible Waitlist Members Now Have a Crypto Wallet
These days? Sure, an appearance by Kid Rock is much more affordable.
Wait, so there's a shortage of IPv4 addresses and people have issues with NAT (including CGNAT) traversal all the time, yet somehow lots of Raspberry Pis end up on the Internet?
Something I completely didn’t appreciate as a kid is that they designed an entire 3D scene for every background and rendered a 2D output of it. For some reason I just assumed it was all drawn.
Just a note, there are some companies that have been popping up recently to try to bridge the gap for services on clouds like Hetzner.

https://elest.io

https://nimbusws.com (I'm building this one so I'm biased for it).

> Would you say bare metal cost a lot of extra monitoring/maintenance, or is this something you did on the cloud hardware as well anyway? Do you run virtualization on the Hetzner machines?

It cost a lot of monitoring/maintenance up front, but once things are purring the costs amortize really well. Hetzner has the occasional hard drive failure[0], but you should be running in a RAIDed setup (that's the default for Hetzner-installed OSes), so you do have some time. They also replace drives very quickly.

If you really want to remove this headache, you run something like Ceph and make sure data copies are properly replicated to multiple hosts and you'll be fine if two drives on a single host die at the same time. Obviously nothing is every that easy but I know that I spend pretty much no time thinking about it these days.

I run a Kubernetes cluster and most of my downtime/outages have been self-inflicted, I'm wonderfully happy with my cluster now. Also another thing to note is that control plane downtime != workload downtime, which is another nice thing -- and you can hook up grafana etc to monitor it all.

Stop posting misinformation about a serious public health issue. If you have a valid scientific or medical reference then let's see it. Otherwise you can't be taken seriously.

Telling HN users to Google something is just sloppy and intellectually lazy.
it is a little “word softening” though, we might be better off calling a fig a fig
All the examples look to me like they might have been made to intentionally look like theatrical back drops.
Hey Jefftk, this is a human dimension I wasn't acknowledging elsewhere. Theory is one thing and money is another. ("whiskey is for drinking, and water is for fighting over" or something like that -- Samuel Clemens)

So in the real world I bet this is what you're talking about: "but there are clickmonkeys out there" or words to that effect.

[edit:] But to be honest, I'm not sure it directly answers the question about entanglements between ad and no ad.
>> illiberal zoning laws

One of the problems is that once people buy into the system, their entire life's savings (plus often 4x more via leverage) is tied up in the house and the price of the house. At that point, most dont want more development, because they lose their life savings if home prices go down.

Each person entering this horrible system is forced to perpetuate it, or lose it all.

On my way out of the first startup I worked for, there was an offer to double my pay! Nope!

Every release is more bloated, runs more slowly, non of the old problems fixed or improved (e.g. still can't handle large files well and every release handling of graphics gets slower). The user manual has gone from being one the best I have ever seen to being terrible for all the new sections for the new functionality they implemented. A lot of the new functionality is badly designed, not like the old stuff which was incredible. The actual useful stuff like interfacing with external code is so old that it barely works anymore (like interfacing with c# compiled later than 2010)...etc.
Debbie Downerism?
I'm glad that a warning was given about graphs of "potential [equity] compensation value."

I've seen this abused where co-founders were only paid in equity. Instead of being told their percentage ownership, they were shown a similar extremely hypothetical graph. Unfortunately, in reality their equity only was worth ~$600/year (when computed using their percentage ownership and current valuation, which takes into consideration future risk).
Ah, yes, the infamous Yo Momma boson
Amusingly I agree with your conclusion that we should discourage breaking API changes, but conclude that monorepos are therefore superior.

Making the team causing the change have to take on the work of migrating clients means that they will make the change as small as possible, and undertake work to to minimize the scope of the change (and make it as backwards compatible as possible).

The alternative is a team publishing a v2.0 API with many incompatibilities and throwing it over the wall, without care that anyone else uses it, and teams eventually needing to migrate to a wholly new API for the one new feature they care about. Or in other words, someone is going to build a compatibility layer, it's more efficient for the owning team to do that, and monorepos encourage that kind of approach.
Antisocial behavior on public transit isn’t just a matter of policing and funding.

It’s also a matter of civil liberties.

In California, people have a constitutional right to defecate on the streets.

In was once in a San Francisco bus and watched a young woman of West Asian descent break down in tears because a homeless man was calling her a “sand n***”.

She screamed back at him the Trump was going to put him in a concentration camp. He made some comments about the Muslim faith, and she told she was going to pray he’d die a horrible death.

Some more words were exchanged about Trumps policies towards Muslims and the homeless.

She got off early and walked the rest of the way.

This is all 100% constitutionally protected, or at least, under the policies of subsequent DAs (including Kamala Harris) officially tolerated.

It also makes public transportation unusable.
Show HN: Himalayas.app – find remote jobs by time zone, tech stack, and more
Hey HN! We built Himalayas to make it easier to find remote jobs based on where you live and the tools you like working with.

Each company on the site has a profile that outlines their tech stack, employee benefits, and other info about what they do. You can see ours here: https://himalayas.app/companies/himalayas

We built the site with Rails + Tailwind on top of Render, our search is powered by OpenSearch on AWS, and we use Redis for caching :)

Happy to answer any questions you have!
There's probably loads of port mapped pi's sitting behind NAT'd routers.
I suspect our biologically-ingrained make it so kids do give our lives "meaning"... For a while. My offspring will turn 19 in a couple of weeks, and while I still love the fuck out of him -- and probably always will -- he's not the only thing that will give meaning to the rest of my life. (Dunno what is.)

MEPs demand full embargo on Russian imports of oil, coal, nuclear fuel and gas
The Ruble is today trading at virtually the same level it was before the invasion. "Western" governments are desperately trying to engineer a default to further damage Russia's reputation, but it won't be for lack of funds. Russia is the most resource rich country on earth, from natural gas to fertilizer and beyond. Jawboning aside, the interdependent global economy depends on resources sourced in Russia, which they will continue to purchase.

https://wise.com/us/currency-converter/rub-to-usd-rate
It is not your fault!
Is that a flaw with git? Or a flaw with trying to use git for monorepos, vs some other change management built for that kind of repo?
"Another one is much more alarming and that is that the Russian strategy does not require air superiority."

I think you'll agree that is bollocks. No sane modern invasion plan would consider air supremacy as only a nice to have. In this case we can clearly conclude that other assumptions made at the planning stage were badly, badly wrong.

Russia really fucked up in their assessment of their adversary in all areas. They assumed that a lightning strike would cause near instant capitulation. It wasn't a "blitzkrieg" because the entirety of the world's intelligence ignored the fuff and called it before kick off, publically. Also UKR were able to prepare somewhat.

The horrendous thing about this conflict is that Russia cannot expect to win on their original terms. They will still kill civilians wholesale and destroy infrastructure in a desperate attempt to claim a "win".

Civvies have and will die in greater numbers than soldiers in this conflict and that is something that needs to be considered by us all. At what point do we decide that a possible strategic nuclear escalation is a worse worry than a complete massacre of a sovereign nation?

> this is done for legitimate reasons

What could be a legitimate reason for giving silly titles? If it were a startup, it would be a huge red flag for an auditor.
Not related to the article, but thanks for connecting some dots for me. My first smartphone was a Casio G'zOne and people still don't believe me sometimes when I say I had a Casio phone. It was basically the only rugged smartphone on the market at the time - gorilla glass, rubberized edges, waterproof. Knowing it was part of the legacy of these rugged electronics helps fill in the gaps of why Casio was making phones and why they were basically bulletproof. I've been buying "rugged" phones ever since trying to fill that hole in my pocket.
> which will ultimately generate more balanced outcomes naturally.

On what do you base this MASSIVE assumption?

On the one hand, people who advocate for diversity say that our differences are our strengths. These differences are apparently important enough that workplaces do better with more diversity.

But on the other hand, these groups of people who are quite different are expected to just have equal outcomes, for whatever reason.

How does that make any damn sense?
Accessibility should rely on an alternative adapted representation, not justify a lowest common denominator approach where everybody loses.
The fact that no one could possibly have a clue what this sentence means is a pretty good indication of how important this work was.
I have actually heard of this startup amazingly, as well as the founder, but I wasn't aware it was/is? as much of a s.show that the article portrays at Fast. Do you have any context you might be willing to share, I am genuinely curious.
Very much agree - due to a coworker leaving recently, I'm looking after two systems. They're both running on ECS and using Aurora Serverless.

My company takes security very seriously so if these two systems were running on bare-metal I'd probably be spending one day a week patching servers rather than trying to implement new functionality across two products.
True, but I think hyperscale gear that's $200k nowadays from specialty vendors (much like those workstations of old) might easily become "commodity" enough in the next 10 to 15 years, and that's what Alan Kay was really trying to get at. What might that be useful for, in the hands of a single person? That's a really interesting question, and I don't have a sure-fire answer. (Even AI inference on the huge models that seem to be popular as of late - an easy choice for something that will chew through a lot of data and compute - feels like way too much of a toy to be genuinely useful.)
You seem to have a lot of biases about large swaths of people
And before they switched to modafinil, they gave pilots (wait for it...) amphetamines.

SQLite does really well for locking writes as well as soon as you activate the WAL.
No it's not a toolkit problem, you have a misunderstanding of what specifications are supposed to be. If the existing spec doesn't work for them then you can't expect them to support it. The process of making a spec or standard is not about forcing other projects to follow suit, it's about finding mutual common ground that is agreed upon by everybody.
the onyx reality engine was a true beast. I did a lot of computer graphics work in the late 90s and it was a very impressive tool. everybody laughed at my linux box running software OpenGL!
One of the major contributors to this is the increasing number of VFX studios and artists that have never done physical effects or camera work on set. Early CGI was made, or at least supervised by crews with extensive experience on real props and costumes. Theres a lot more than detailed textures and "physically based rendering" that go into making an effect look real, such as framing the effects shot with recongnizable features for scale and "presence". A poor quality 3d model with bad textures can feel convincing if the director and VFX artists coordinate to fully integrate the effects. Likewise a super detailed and well animated CG character can be ruined by poor shot placement and floaty camera movement. Honestly, so many otherwise fantastically rendered CGI scenes have been destroyed by virtual cameras that accelerate and fly with zero regard for physics. Cutting edge hair physics and multimillion polygon models still need the cinema basics of good camerawork, blocking, and editing.
but... blind bidding is how everything works. If I was a CapEx manager at Y company, why would i reveal pricing of other bidders? It's a conflict of interest for the other bidders. Even if you were to keep the pricing entity private it's the opposite of efficient because creates this 'bit-wise' incremental bidding that destroys the price. Unless you did some kind of random candle auction, this is easily gamed for a such a high value asset like real-estate.
>> The only loss when building more dense housing in urban areas is the existing owners whose views are blocked.

It is a lot about more supply (and less price increase, or even decrease). Not about views being blocked. People who own homes feel the need to defend the price of their prized asset, for which they have used their life savings plus leverage. The system is designed to perpetuate itsself
Yeah this can happen, usually it means you are ready for the next chapter of your life. For me, periods of depression and closed doors are often followed by really beautiful points in which the experience has a lot more depth than before.

I’d never heard of Genera until today. I read about it earlier this morning in an article on non-C operating systems¹.

> Symbolics, the company which owned the first ever dotcom domain, built an entire OS in Lisp, called Genera. The last version, OpenGenera, ran on an emulator on DEC Alpha workstations, and today you can run it on Linux, but sadly the inheritors of the defunct company won't open-source it.

Further support for "number of humans" being a good metric. Just looking at percentages, you could do great harm to one group or area, and just "buy" yourself out of it ethically by treating other people somewhere else a little better on net. The devil is literally in the details.

Had the exact same thought!
This is the best summary of the topic I've read. Having used all three (submodules, monorepo, manyrepo) the only thing I can say with any certainty is - don't use submodules. The mono/manyrepo decision is not as clear cut but your description nails it.

Edit: submodules IS a viable solution for truly third-party repos over which you have no control and don't expect to ever edit.
