Ask HN: How do you prepare for the worst in life?
I feel like this is the forum where I can get relevant answers to this question.

I'm not a lunatic thinking we are on the verge of apocalypse or anything, I just want to minimize as many regrets as I can in my life. Part of it, is being prepared for the worst.

A few examples of how I currently do that:

- I have a fire extinguisher at home
- I have first aid at home and know how to apply it
- I know how to apply CPR
- I have emergency numbers handy
- I have jumper cables in my car in case of battery problems while traveling
I found this article confusing.

It seems to be claiming that differing social norms leads to unstable lower class families.

But a) im pretty sure being a deadbeat dad is still considred bad among all social classes

b) if that was the case, why is this disporpotionately affecting lower class. Do middle class have different norms?

C) the article talks about a woman who broke up with her partner because he was a shit partner. Isn't that the opposite of the thesis of the article? Man did not meet expectations so was kicked to the curve?

i5, versus i3, versus i7 matters less for fan or fanless compared to the product suffix. That's that letter at the end of the name. U, Y, K, H, etc... Which are decoded on this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor...

The letter indicate the target application, which then impacts the TDP Intel is targeting (slightly dependent on i3/i5/i7, but maybe not at all). U and Y are the big ones to look at for mobile fan vs fanless. Their definition is:

Y: Mobile extremely low power
U: Mobile power efficient
H: High performance optimized for mobile

Here's the ARK link for 4 10th gen i7 with the above 3 letter (plus one desktop CPU):

One of the biggest systems-level failures in recent memory is the Boeing 737 MAX story. I read this article and your comment and then went looking for an autopsy, found this:

"The Boeing 737 MAX: Lessons for Engineering Ethics (2020)"

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7351545/

It's an example of a workaround that should not have been tolerated:

> "The Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) software was intended to compensate for changes in the size and placement of the engines on the MAX as compared to prior versions of the 737."

Rather shockingly this wasn't even an engineering problem workaround; it does seem that it was solely designed to avoid an aeronautical reclassification of the aircraft that would have required pilots to undergo an expensive retraining program on flight simulators, which might have caused lost orders.

This does look like a systems-level failure, but one at an organizatonal level: the system went from a state where engineering took priority, to a state where financialization took priority. In systems thinking, this could be called a state transition: a fluctuation takes place, and afterwards the system settles down to a new (apparently) stable state quite different from the old state:

> "One factor in Boeing’s apparent reluctance to heed such warnings may be attributed to the seeming transformation of the company’s engineering and safety culture over time to a finance orientation beginning with Boeing’s merger with McDonnell–Douglas in 1997 (Tkacik 2019; Useem 2019). Critical changes after the merger included replacing many in Boeing’s top management, historically engineers, with business executives from McDonnell–Douglas and moving the corporate headquarters to Chicago, while leaving the engineering staff in Seattle (Useem 2019). According to Tkacik (2019), the new management even went so far as “maligning and marginalizing engineers as a class”."
US thinkers have no idea what a social safety net is so they draw their conclusions without taking that option into account.
Airplanes already use "regenerative braking". When you're coming in to land the airspeed and altitude is used to move the aircraft forward, with reduced throttle on the engine. In fact it could be reduced to exactly idle, but that's just not the optimal setting, and in the final phase of the flight also not the safest setting (spooling up time of a turbojet engine depends a lot on the initial rpm, in case you need to go-around).

There's no need for a capacitor when you have gravity and altitude.
Your comment implies that you categorically deny correlations between social security and psychological development and well-being. Intellectually, I find this provoking, see maslows pyramid. Would you please give your audience and your comment the slightly more nuanced elaboration they deserve?
Because industry makes good decisions? Decisions like adopting python, dooming a large part of the world software to be bug ridden slow messes. Or to elevate CUDA to the facto machine learning backend? Besides it's not clear that Haskell isn't adopted by industry due to the syntax.

Yes. That's decentralization. Rather than trusting one person irrevocably, you trust cryptographic security and the rational economics that emerge from alignment of incentive. Minimal trust in all other actors in the system, rather than maximum trust in one entity.

> it becomes harder to understand

Not really.. The general principles underlying blockchain are relatively simple. I'd agree that the finer implementation details can be complex, especially when it comes to consensus, sharding, or cryptography. But that varies between protocols.

Do you have any examples of the assertions you find hard to follow?

This. I have got an old HP EliteDesk from work. It uses a standard SFF (not sure if it's the right term) PSU, but the motherboard connector is custom. Of course the fan makes a terrible noise. And even if I'm able to find a replacement PSU that would fit in the case (even fanless! - I'm happy with the integrated graphics), I also have to look for an MB connector adaptor.

I think that ultimately it was that program that taught me this lesson. I was scared to death the first time but later it kind of became a rush, then just comedy - I came to realize that it really couldn’t have those effects.

Of course afterward I learned the hard way how you really could make mistakes - repartitioning my dads disk incorrectly to install Linux for example. Whoops.
They undermine it by:

- claiming a single parent household is no worse for children than a two parent household

- claiming men have no particular importance in the raising of children

- financially supporting (in some cases subsidizing) single parent families
A "happy country"? I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean. In terms of the cost of having children, though, it is far more affordable in Japan than the US. Almost all childbirth costs are covered by the government, and free nursery school is also provided to all.

Defund the police blew up because certain communities' only experience of police is of being harassed, beaten and robbed.

It's hardly an attitude that's dripping with privilege.

The backlash, on the other hand...
Headline is rather hyperbolic. The challenge in replacing jet fuel is that on energy density (by volume and weight) jet fuel is extremely high compared to just about anything else. Also, shedding weight in flight is key to long range travel to make the engineering work. That perpetually limits what’s possible with anything powered by batteries. Until those two problems are solved we’re not going to see anything beyond short range travel switching off jet fuel.
Which means it's permanently broken by your standards right? Or do you have some sort of non-nonsensical exception for hardware vulnerabilities?
Can we kill the "genius" trope already? In 15 years at the nation's best engineering schools and another 10 at companies and institutions that employ their graduates, I have yet to meet a nobel prize winner, CEO, professor, astronaut, politician, or other individual that is single-handedly "propelling global human advance." Perhaps these magical minds are hiding under some rock I haven't overturned yet, but it's much more likely that the "genius" model is just not a very good one. There are plenty of clever people around and there will always be a tail end of the bell curve, but the idea that these individuals are lifting up the rest of us is self-serving and ironically, demonstrably false. It's hero culture for intellectuals. There are plenty of humans with tail-end IQ, none of whom become anything without the rest of society getting up and going to work to support investment in their minds and the infrastructure that enables them to utilize their capacity.

Einstein would have been nothing without cooperation from a wide range of scientists, mathematicians, family members, and hell his garbage man.

/end rant

Thank you for sharing that link, though - the bit about reproduction has some meat to it. I've wondered whether innovation will slow as global population levels off. We'll get better at being efficient with the capacity we have, to be sure, but I wonder if eking out efficiencies will also asymptotically stall.
We often either submit an issue or a pull request not to fork. When this does not work, we'll write a plugin or equivalent and use that with the dependency so we will not have to fork and play catch up with the upstream.

For example, one of the tools we use is MinIO. There was an issue for their Python client that complained it lacked administrative features and the maintainers marked it as not on the roadmap at that time. I wrote a library called bmc, as a wrapper to their CLI exposing admin functions to a Python programmer. I proposed a prototype and the MinIO people said it's the expected behavior and went on to write it. Other people reading the issue asked access to it and we put it on PyPI.

It's not a fork but a separate library. Now the MinIO folks have included _some_ functionality in their original Python client but it doesn't have the ones we need. We'll switch back to their client for admin as soon as they have feature match.

Another example is MLflow. There was an issue wher it could track models that expect higher dimensional data but when deployed, they could only receive a two dimensional dataframe. I think issue 3570. It didn't go far and we developed a plugin/companion library that did that instead of changing the code and playing catch-up. Same with other features like authentication, which also is a result of good design decisions of having authentication not tied to our product, but having our product as an authentication provider amongst many and it just happens that we used ours, which again, makes supporting other authentication schemes easier.

An example of issues are one with Grafana where we didn't like how bandwidth was represented (as Mbs) because it would break dimensional reasoning (if you integrate bandwidth with respect to time, you should have Mb, not Mbs^2). They were super fast and changed it.

To good folks at Jupyter also ,ere very helpful when we needed to use custom config files that were overwritten or something. They promptly replied to the issue by making it configurable.

These are some things we use to avoid forking. Issues, pull requests, plugins, libraries, etc.
> they are just far less likely to be caught

Perhaps, but I wonder how you get reliable statistics on the demographics of the criminals which don't get caught?
Do people find this stuff compelling? Rank speculation and confident assertion with minimal substantive backing?

I’d find this statement equally compelling (which is to say, not at all):

> Since we stopped using horses as a primary means of transportation, men’s sense of self worth has diminished. Riding a horse carried a lot of high status connotations: drive, masculinity, towering above the land, and man’s domination over nature. Now, we drive metal cars, low to the ground, and driving one is seen as commonplace. All of men’s low sense of self worth stems from this.
I disagree completely - most people know about the problems and they've accepted them instead of tried to gin up the organization effort to fix it, because the last time they tried that they either became responsible for the cleanup or got smacked down by someone who should have been but got it wrong.
> Just one problem with this: I’ve never used GitHub actions before. So I had to figure that out, along with setting up proper S3 credentials and getting my site to build. ...

> What does mise in place tell me? Separate the tasks. Find a way to prep just the action file, then just the credentials, then the idiosyncrasies of my projects. After that I can integrate the pipeline with the documentation proper.

The problem I find is that unless you've done something very similar before (and recently, because services and APIs are always in flux), what can happen is you complete a few tasks, then on a later task you find some gotcha that means your original approach isn't going to work, so you come up with a workaround which requires you to redo/change the earlier tasks. Development whack-a-mole.

So what I tend to do is take the riskiest task first, do just enough to convince myself it can be finished, then move on to the next task etc. and then iterate back around filling in the gaps until I'm done.

By the way, I recently did some GitHub Action automation and it was super frustrating. There's no official way to run/test this locally (there's https://github.com/nektos/act which doesn't replicate a lot of features) so you end up editing-saving-pushing-waiting-diagnosing (e.g. even just for basic syntax errors) in this painfully slow feedback loop until it eventually works and hope it doesn't break later. I'd rather just stick to the simplest single script I can come up with than use GitHub Action features because of this.

> basic general principle that men will do whatever is required in order to obtain sex, and perhaps not a great deal more. (One of us characterized this in a previous work as, ‘If women would stop sleeping with jerks, men would stop being jerks.’)

This makes it sound like it is just men who need sex and have to do things to get it. One would think that everybody needs sex and thus women need it too. And it would stand to reason that the less fortunate women would need sex and be not able to get it easily and thus have to resort to sleeping with jerks and raising kids as a single mother.

So just saying women should stop sleeping with jerks is not really a practical thing. If anything good men should be expected to sleep with not so fortunate women to cut the jerks out of the equation ;)

Kidding aside this is a very complex problem and the article trivializes it - education, assistance to kids in need(mental/physical health, financial, foster care), providing compatible opportunities and then setting expectations will make a dent in this problem. And then there are just incompatible people doing stupid things that should be left to their devices and outcomes - there is no fixing willful idiocy. But what social policies need to do is provide a way out for anyone who wants it.
Curious to see the source showing European democracies are more successful, controlling for socioeconomic status.
Yes, fan is cheaper.

- Copper is one of the most expensive materials, and it is hard enough, and have high melting temperature, so manufacturing also more expensive than from plastics.

When micro computers was inside 15W TDP this was not a problem, as heatsink was tiny, but for modern commodity designs, 25W+, need to use all surface of notebook as heatsink (at least one side of "shell"), this would be very expensive.

Delphi has legendary ARC not just with its VCL and object hierarchies with TOwner model but also with its wrappers of COM's IUnknown and QueryInterfaces. Yes of course, developers can still make mistakes about sequences and memory management but a well constructed class hierarchy and discipline to manage the freeing of resources immediately after they're no longer needed is the cornerstone of basic Delphi applications.

edit: The objects that are IUnknown linked don't even need to be explicitly freed! There are several clever use cases for this for example changing TCursor from hourglass back to normal when a procedure/function is complete. It just works.
What’s powerful about nix is the language IMO. I was able to build an automatic WireGuard setup[1] with tagging that automatically works on each new machine thanks to the ability to do config as code. Just provide some basic config for each machine and the code turns it into an interface with peers.
The issue to me isn’t the language persay (it’s really a tiny surface area language, see the built in/lib functions [2]) but the tooling built around packaging is a hodgepodge mess of semi-documented workarounds (with Nixpkgs blessed ways vs user libraries) and is extremely difficult to approach and understand.

First off the article says nothing about marriage it speaks of “two parent households”, so an unmarried couple raising kids would fit the author’s thesis entirely.

Second, pretty sure I’d argue the recent riots in Sweden would back up exactly the author’s theory around poorly behaved young males.

No, we're saying that those games are not part of 21st century culture, which makes them culturally lost to time.
But the argument here is not that they'll have to make do with lower quality parts. It's that they won't be able to get or make the parts they need at all. That is a very different and much less likely argument, especially as there are still many countries they're trading with through which imports can be routed.

We're living in an utterly corrupt society. I know the middle class types on here don't like to hear it, but it's true. At the bottom of society, one can see clearly how bad it is. In the middle, you are insulated in your little suburban homes with your inflated sense of self-worth.

Many people here are outright slaves. They are trapped in a predatory system that prevents them from gaining any dignity. It should be no surprise that some people say "fuck this," and drop out of the system or refuse to climb the corrupt social hierarchy. The millions of young men missing from the workforce are all speaking with their actions, "I don't approve of this system. I'd rather die than comply with it."

Without an effective system of representation, this is how people express their discontent: drop out or commit crime. No one that believes in their country becomes a criminal. A precondition for criminality is always a loss of morale. That's why the system comes down on these "criminals" so hard, not because their crimes are so bad, but because they are dissidents.

Some of you drive to work along streets full of homeless people. You are told that these are just drug addicts or problem makers. In truth, they are obsolete or noncompliant slaves.

This can't last forever. One day we'll all be asking how we could let it get so bad, but it will be too late--I fear.
