I kinda went through this recently. I had been experimenting with both tilix and alacrity. I'm going by memory now on the phone, so bear with me. I ended up deleting the apt extension thas is actually the functionality behind the default "open in terminal". You kan provably find it with a "dpkg -l nautilus | grep terminal".

Then I installed some nautilus python package (I don't remember the exact name), which seems to be integrated. I also installed through there some project that was supposed to add any terminal. At the end it showed multiple entries for alacrity and tilix. So I uninstalled the package. And suddenly then I had just the entries for the terminals I used.

That said... It's not great that nautilus doesn't respect x-terminal-emulator. That is exactly what it is for.
Nuking social media from orbit would be a good start. Any platform where what content you're shown is primarily driven by an algorithm is very suspect.
That's semantic sleight of hand. The US is clearly a representative democracy.

More like it happens with any large move period, no hints needed, because the expected value payoff of a lawsuit in that case typically makes it a worthwhile exercise.
They do have that authority. One of the reasons I left tech is precisely this attitude I see prevalent among engineers where they don't respect other peoples' areas of expertise.

Just because something is of general concern doesn't mean everyone is equal in terms of their mental models or knowledge of the issues.
A library I designed a few years ago (https://github.com/Netflix/vectorflow) is also much faster than pytorch/tensorflow in these cases.

In "small" or "very sparse" setups, you're memory bound, not compute bound. TF and Pytorch are bad at that because they assume memory movements are worth it and do very little in-place operations.

Different tools for different jobs.
Same experience here. I interact quite a bit, though
You mean that time when the sitting president of the US encouraged his followers to storm the Capitol and stop Congress from formally ratifying the democratically elected next president?

When he encouraged them to behave violently and actually told them he’d be right there with them?

That time when, what, 4 people got killed, directly related to a call by the president to urge his supporters to stop the peaceful transition of power?

Out here in the real world outside the Trump cult that’s what these events were.
Agreed. I've pinched his popup implementation for my homepage and expanded it a little so that there's both a footnotes section with anchor links at the bottom for non-JS use and search engines, as well as the popup panels. E.g. https://www.buttercookie.de/The%20Burkiss%20Way/Transcripts/...
> If publishing companies were liable for their content wouldn't they censor more?

They would - and and they are. That's why it's easier to publish fanfic on the internet than with an actual publisher. Tumblr is not on the hook for unauthorized titillating usage of copyrighted Disney characters, but HarperCollins would get sued to bankruptcy if they attempted the same. This is why the calls to repeal section 319 is idiotic - it will lead to more "censorship"
The primary reason I don't use Adsense is the risk that I'll be locked out of my Google account for unknown reasons.

I've heard the same advice here on HN: if you're using Google tools for anything, do not use Adsense.
Twitter stock price target for financial institutions is 30 dollars. They're shorting it, and giddy about the board rejecting Elon's proposal.
> That's not really capitalism.

That's exactly capitalism: the system that emerged as the mercantile class leveraged their growing influence to wrest control of government from the titled aristocracy to themselves, and organized it to suit their ends as a class.

(It's not the utopian vision created to justify capitalism after critics identified “capitalism“ as a thing and started attacking it, but...that vision was always a lie to keep the working classes in line and believing that the dominion exercised over them was fair.)
I make everybody get it out of the way now and post full nudes online so that we cannot be blackmailed.

> making sure they have control of their passwords and accounts in a safe matter.

This looks like two requirements. Control your passwords and accounts and safeguard them. Because saving via Chrome, though unpopular, is quite safe but you give up control.

I've found this to be useful lately as I go through and take control of my login credentials:

I was a bit confused about his logic -- is he just saying they should make a counteroffer that's higher?
I've been giving the advice for years that actually planning for what you'll do past retirement is as important than having all the money you'll need. I've seen my parents and in-laws struggle with mental health issues and boredom more than they have ran out of money. I'm refusing to do that, I found 3 things that I really love and working on turning those into third careers go keep myself busy. The 3 things are teaching yoga, personal training for people over 50, and becoming a divemaster.
Integer scaling always works well, so 4k to 1080p, but that the mouse is affected is really weird!
Alibaba was pre-ipo at the time and did not have a market valuation. The most effective way to estimate a market value for Alibaba at this time is the 2008 MSFT offer itself.

MSFT didn't offer $44B for Yahoo's internet business. The offer was in large part for the Alibaba stake.

Regardless, MSFT priced it all at around $44B, which is less than it eventually was valued at.
The sooner specialized hardware comes out the better in my books. The sooner companies deliver it, the sooner patents will inevitably expire and we can get some open source implementations. The golden age of ASICs for everyone is a decade or two away yet. But the sooner that day comes, the better for those of us who want the ownership of it. I'd love to integrate an embedded GPU for an onboard AI into my hobby electronics projects with a low power overhead. We're just not quite there yet.
There is so much untapped potential in Twitter. An ad-based business model was the only proven option in the late 2000s, but in the era of Patreon, Twitch, Substack, and Onlyfans, the landscape has resoundingly demonstrated that the old wisdom of "no one wants to pay for content on the internet" is no longer true.

Making something people want to pay for, of course, is the challenge, and Twitter Blue is a very limited start to that. But for the position Twitter has come to occupy in culture, a bold product vision could leverage that to incredible effect.
Totally agree and get it, I do it selectively as well - and on this one, I don't think I would have enjoyed the challenge of it so I would have just outsourced the work to be done manually. It's such a straight forward thing to explain to someone else, I think most gig workers that spoke english reasonably well could quickly knock it out. Actually, so much so that since most of these stories are fairly short and you probably end up proofreading them dozen of times as you tweak the code and/or review the outsourced work for accuracy/completion... so I might have just done it myself manually and it would have taken probably less than a dozen hours without the communication overhead of going through fiver or similar. It's more of a do things that don't scale approach I suppose as myself with a toddler that loves reading stories I value my time above all else and could find a dozen more interesting things to hack on in my limited free time (highly subjective I know, just my hot take on the topic at hand).
>Oh and I wouldn't touch Ketamine...

I'm curious: why not?

Nice to hear you were able to get over it -or at least take the steps to eventually do. Inspiring honestly, keep at it.
Jack left because he was done, he resigned. He is now pretty much 100% BTC and decentralization.
I remember years ago reading horror stories of a similar nasal spray (Tamiflu I think?) causing long-term or permanent loss of smell, and swore I'd never use it since I'd much rather have the flu once than never smell again.

Is that a risk generally with nasal sprays, or something not to worry about?
Shareholders can vote no. It's why having a majority shareholder is so powerful.

But also it's the job of the regulatory body to be the check for society
Sorry you feel that way, I'll try to be frank here, if my advice isn't useful, just don't take it.

I know a few people exactly like you, that like to boost about how well off they are and that are depressed and sad, but they treat life as it is a game of competition, this is why they usually start by displaying how "they've won", but in reality they were the only ones that were silly enough to only think about work.

What do you like to do outside of work, that isn't some sort of addiction, such as gaming, gambling and doesn't give some kind of thrill that you also get in business and while making money? Try to spend more time doing those things.

Also to say those things to your wife and come here and say is load, makes me believe you don't respect her at all. What does your therapist say about this?

You've decided to waste the best years of your life working a lot and making money, and now you fail to appreciate the things you've conquered etc. At your age, there is still a lot of things you can do. Now there is still a lot of golden days, but it will never be like you were 20, for sure.

Such as, if you try to skate, every fall will hurt much more than when you were young and take longer to recover. Same is for playing an instrument, will take much longer to learn. We are like fruits, eventually we will get rotten.

Also the way you talk about depression seems like you want to hide behind it. Honestly depressed people can't get shit done as you do, I live with somebody with it and they can't wake up, have a business or deal with commitments as you've done, to me it seems you are mostly sad because you want to always be on a peak, winning, sort of like a cocaine addict, hence my earlier comment about addiction.

A therapist can help with that, invest on more sessions and if the current one isn't working, find a new one.
Sometimes I actually like to long and comprehensive recipe articles. Like compare an article from Serious Eats about pasta carbonara to just getting a 10 line recipe. Both serve their own purpose.

Same applies to programming. Sometimes I want the one liner from w3schools, sometimes I’m willing to consume the reference documentation.
Even if there's a prosecution, a likely outcome is a fine. It's extremely unpopular to lock up indigent defendants over unpaid fines or to actually collect against people who need the money for subsistence calories. Quality of life crimes are effectively only illegal when committed by people in a specific window of financial security (can spare the amount of the fine, but not by so much that it's immaterial).
Being a luddite is not about withholding support, it is about completely denying the existence of new technologies, or even actively trying to destroy them.

A return to the state of web 1.0 would definitely be a major move backwards, similar to banning the use of cars to prevent traffic accidents from happening. Wouldn't it be better to just learn how to drive?
And that's a low barrier. The Dropbox client is totally flaky with me. I've never managed to get it to sync my files, because I have too many I guess? I just used rclone to get everything out of my Dropbox so I can close it.
> Killing Vine was the dumbest thing they ever did.

100% this. People are always confused why Facebook was allowed to buy Instagram, and this was, I think, a bit part of why.

Vine was completely destroyed by Twitter's incompetent management, and prevailing wisdom was that Facebook would do the same to Instagram. "Okay Facebook has filters now! Time to shut down Instagram!"
I don't fully agree that that is the reasoning. Addictive algorithms or not, Facebook/TikTok et al can and does track you comfortably (as do most states including China).

But if you observe some recent laws you'll see that the government sometimes does do things that are (what it thinks) is good for its citizens. For example there was a recent law limiting gaming hours for children. Agree or disagree with the implementation, a state can simultaneously be doing terrible things while also trying to do good things. Governments are not a monolithic unit.
After temporarily coming back to GNOME from spending a lot of time with KDE, I've found Nautilus to be pretty much worse than even Windows Explorer. Besides the issues mentioned, some other issues I run into:

- Can't manually type in a path

- Moving into a mounted drive clears navigation history, so can't back out to the previous directory

I also somewhat miss how Dolphin would re-open where I left it, tabs and all. That said, I'm on v3.36.3 so maybe it has fixed those issues in the 2 years since.
This actually happened to me and I gave up. I support them through every channel now and the family whatsapp chat is a messy, happy heap of everything.
Sometimes if I have to use Linux, one of the most frustrating parts of the gnome file manager is how on some distros the path text input at the top is simply not there in some distros. It used to be there all the time. I don't know why this essential feature was removed/hidden behind impossible to find settings.
The problem is how to make money on Twitter without alienating users with too many ads or monetization of posting. I have zero desire to ever spend money on anything Twitter like, I enjoy the feed I've curated but if it starts costing me money I'll find another way to get it.
Correct, that's what refrigerated air conditioners do. But that's really just playing a trick with the system boundary in the problem; it doesn't mean the global efficiency has exceeded 100%.
All else being equal, a change in supply will change the price, except in perfectly elastic demand, in which case less would just be sold at the same price.

Sure not everything is always equal, but the relationship is clear

I'm in my 30s and I know I've already peaked. On top of that, I never had the compensation like you talk of.

What's wrong with being done at 40? Maybe move into some low paying job where you can coast and focus on non-work stuff. Maybe buy that muscle car and go to AutoX and track days (basically find a hobby with a community).
symbol hound looks dead

searchcode seems to not let you say things like "in the main api", or in libraries, it's all usages, it's also actually the code itself. so "boto3 list_buckets" a common query I do (that google actually does well).

publicwww seems to be searching google?
You don't have to work anymore. You won the game. You don't have to play anymore. Or, you can play the unstructured bonus content.

I never got the appeal of open-world sandbox type games either.

If I had what you had, I would just:
1) raise my kid
2) build stuff
3) write fiction
4) consume without guilt (media, restaurants, hobbies and gadgets, etc)
If you've hit the zenith of your professional career, why not focus on hobbies and building up a community of people around you? Friends, friends-of-friends, etc.

If you need inspiration, here's an introduction to my weird hobby and community: https://soatok.blog/2020/04/23/never-underestimate-the-furry...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvH3lGUdcNM This video is by Noah Keagan, and he talks about a similar situation that you are in. Maybe this will help you. Wishing you the best.
I don't think he is. He stated that he doesn't see a future for Twitter with current management.
He demonstrated precisely how much pull he had when he bought 9%. It's about $10.
Well, you did it. You get go choose whatever you want to do now. This goes for all of you on this site too that need to go touch grass.

I'd like to think I'd take inspiration from Nick Stellino, a former Wall Street guy that made a ton of money and then decided to start over as a chef:

"he had built a successful career as a stockbroker. Nick’s Wall Street career was lucrative, but he realized something was missing. ... He decided to pursue a culinary career. ... With no formal experience, Nick was told he couldn’t work as a chef. Not to be denied a job in the industry, he initially took a job as a dishwasher. He went on to apprentice with some of the best chefs in America. While working in the restaurant business, he realized that he wanted to share his enthusiasm for cooking with others and that a television cooking show would be the best way to do that." [1]

I'm sure there's some embellishing here, but the point stands that you have unlimited options now to pursue what give you joy and purpose. Want to be a watchmaker working on antique Rolex timepieces? Starting an all organic bespoke wedding cake business? Running for City Comptroller in the next election?

Edit: Sorry Sandersd, I did not carefefully read what you said "it's
what people like us want them to want." - which is even more
interesting!

I would go one stage more "meta" and say; No. Actually one of the
deep, deep problems in computer science and digital technology is the
very idea that "we know what people want". Or that they know
themselves. There is so much said in this forum and other software
communities about "what people really want". Outside of quite narrow
UX psychology - which deals mainly with how people prefer to complete
tasks within paradigms that have already been selected for them - I
know of little or no evidence based research on the lifestyle and
societal choices around technology. That is why I frequently use the
phrase *foisted upon" in Digital Vegan [1][2], to indicate the
extraordinary errors of sentiment attribution that occur around tech.

[1] https://digitalvegan.net

[2] 'Foisted' is not the same as 'forced', but nontheless there is a
'great lie' that we tell ourselves about how markets of demand and
supply work in realtion to technology.
> I feel like I've hit my zenith already and it's just a slow decline from here on out.

I'm in my early 40s, and when I start to feel that way, I remind myself that Richard Hipp, lead developer of SQLite, didn't start to do what is indisputably his best work until he started developing SQLite 3 in his 40s. So your best work might still be ahead of you.

Yeah it's a really reactionary attitude! Most people who say it though aren't really able to articulate the why it matters. Because they clearly at the same time think lots of poverty related issues, like homelessness, are issues we need to solve.
Nobody is talking about terrorist organizations.
Maybe you have hit your zenith, but there is no shame in that. It doesn't preclude you from accomplishing more tomorrow.

Medical intervention can be helpful short-term, but long-term you want to look at what satisfies you. Fast forward yourself to 55, and think to your self "Wow, I'm really impressed with myself that I did $x." And then get to doing $x.
A media company having a legal obligation to maximize profits seems at least as bad for journalism as private ownership as there's zero room for any sort of integrity.
Going Web 1.0 wouldn't stop that. The genie that came out of the bottle was the realization that such whole-data aggregation is possible.

Take away JavaScript today, and it'd be replaced with the (slower, but still lucrative enough to justify it) process of paying site admins to share their access logs and user account data.
You had me til you advised against rare meat.
If you're basing this on the stock market as a whole being down, surely you'd make more money by selling to Elon at $54 while it's still down, and re-investing your money in other stocks - letting you get the upside twice, once from Elon and once from the stock market going up.
What kind of advice is this? You don't just "start a family." Having a family _should_ be the result of having a compatible mate, doing a reasonable amount of planning, and the willingness to set aside decades of your life in the service of your offspring.

It is especially not a solution to some kind of deep-seated existential/self-worth issues that OP seems to have. I also get the impression that he is either divorced or not on great terms with his spouse since he refers to her as "The Wife." If so, that would be a terrible environment to deliberately raise a child in. He's also 44 which is not too old to have children, but about a decade or two past the norm.
Which is a form of democracy...
Focus on hobbies to geek out on.

Ideally one should be exercise. Cardio, lifting, whatever.

Rest and vest. Enjoy your time with your family.

That's all I have. Hope it is enough!
Lookup a mystic by the name of "Sadhguru" on youtube and watch his videos, also check out jason gregory. It's totally eye opening and life changing. You NEED this.

I can't possibly explain it all in one post. but, to give you a hint: everything we strive for in the outside world is all for naught. At the end of the day, what matters is your internal state of mind, how you process inputs. we keep trying to rearrange the outside world, as if the outside world was a representation of our minds.
I’m all for Web 1.0, but please use proportional fonts (even Web 1.0 did).

Industrial work is precisely where the extras start to really matter.

In a truck used purely for recreation the stakes are pretty low. Being mildly uncomfortable to and from your fishing trip isn't realistically going to cost you anything financially, and your unpleasant memories of the drive will soon fade in favor of the pleasant memories of the fishing. And even if you are hauling colossal boat on a big multi-axle trailer, the tires are probably going to go bad from age long before you need to replace them due to wear.

But if you're maintaining a big fleet of work vehicles, the stakes are suddenly a lot higher, because everything you do is going to affect your bottom line. Poor cab ergonomics will affect people's entire workdays and workweeks, and will cost you in higher employee turnover, and higher delay, rework and accident rates. And fuel, tires and other wear items are also going to be huge items on your operating budget, so it would be foolish not to try to see what extras you can find to mitigate them.
Absurd to ever suggest to a stranger that they stop therapy. You don’t know them. Awful, awful thing to do.
Don't worry, it'd just be seized and put in control of very competent and qualified "elected" members of The Party.
all the issues you mention for go literally plague every other language out there except for a very small minority. of which rust is one. its a fair criticism but you're completely disregarding the downside around development speed.

I've used both languages extensively. I like both languages. I still reach for golang first because its faster to develop with simply due to the compile times.
> The less they know the better.

I have found the opposite to be true. If I push them to invest and understand, they are more likely to fix their own problems. I play tech support very infrequently and usually it's just initial onboarding - "Hey, how do I watch movies?"

My users can reset their own passwords, reboot devices, and some of them can even restart stuff on the server.

There's a dashboard with all of our links, so I don't get the "What's the url for..." stuff.

I keep quick docs in the family notes.

Usually my only problem makers are game servers since those are always a bit less than stable once loaded up with mods.
While inflation may go down, it won't turn negative, so pretending like it could do so is disingenuous
