Indeed. I find Marcus Aurelius' "Meditations" to be a particularly vivid proof of this. (Although I don't know what it's like to be Emperor of Rome, a lot of his concerns seem entirely commonplace today.)

Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness – all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.

Stellar everyday advice still today.
Fun fact about the top level menu: it’s one of the last Carbon-heavy things around, at least last I checked.
Inoreader and Newsblur have features like that. I can't really compare between those and Google Reader since I was nine when it shut down and I didn't use it, but there are readers that have similar features.
Sure. For what it’s worth, MATLAB has used HDF for its own MAT file format since R2006b. See: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/import_export/mat-file...

I’m assuming if the MAT file contains what you expect and is a v7.3 file, it’s all accessible in HDF5 since it’s already an HDF5 file.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. Detoxing occurs in medical settings every single day, in every hospital, in almost every clinic.

Example: people overdose on Tylenol, and we may have to give them NAC (N-acetyl-cysteine) to boost their depleted glutathione levels and get rid of the toxins.

Another example: people ingest a poison, and sometimes it's appropriate to make them drink activated charcoal so it can bind the toxins. These types of "Detoxes" are also common (but over-used) in the alternative world.

Another example: with some infections, you can't give too many antibiotics at once or it will overload the body's detox capacity, so things are done to help.

Another example: 9/11 workers who were exposed to massive amounts of toxins from burning building materials afterwards suffered from that exposure. Conventional medical doctors came up with detox protocols including the use of Far Infrared Saunas to help decrease the toxin load in their bodies.
nah they were SO BAD dollar for dollar compared to LCD.

The misinformation fear mongering is more dangerous than any of the hypothetical boogeymen.

Why trust individuals to vote, if you cannot trust their discernment?

If you must dictate truth and exclude information you disagree with, then at what point are regulators predetermining the outcome of the democratic process?

There are definite shortcomings to democracy. Tyranny of the majority is a popular critique. Presenting democracy as a virtue to be defended is problematic to be sure. But presenting it as a virtue while attacking the premises of democracy?

I cannot decide which is more absurd, a gov. regulator presuming to have an exclusive license on objective truth as if privy to divine revelation, or suggesting that individuals making their own decisions in regards to the information they consume is dangerous to democracy.

Humanity cannot regulate away "misinformation" anymore than Icarus could touch the sun. Is it hard to accept this as legitimate hubris. Propagandists desiring to regain tighter control over the flow of information seems infinitely more probable.

Does anyone else here remember when we said, "Information wants to be free" ?

> And since it relies on .NET, that also requires its own separate opt-out for its telemetry.

Building a program with .NET does NOT cause that program to send telemetry to Microsoft.

You're thinking of the .NET SDK itself. Using PowerShell does not trigger any use of the .NET SDK.

TBH I used the word "image" in both context: once as a synonym for picture, and the other time meaning Smalltalk image. I think GP was responding to the former use in the quoted text.

But, it's actually worth highlighting: GNU Smalltalk is image-based, but has NO GUI by default. So while the image does contain the state of your whole program at the point of dumping it, it does not include the whole IDE together with it. GNU Smalltalk is such a wonder, it's so sad it's not being actively developed :(

$100M to Cut the Time Tax
I hate articles like this.

-- It paints the entire country as one real estate market, but real estate is local.

-- Interest rates are still super low by historic standards. If we have a small recession this spring it will likely benefit buyers. If interest rates go up, suddenly seller carry contracts and private lending becomes attractive again (IE: buyers have even more options to attain capital)

-- Cities aren't the entire country. If you want to buy a house and you can work remotely, there are a whole lot of very nice small towns and cities around the US where the quality of life is surprisingly high, they are great places to raise a family, and real estate is still very affordable.

-- Inventory - again, totally depends on your market. Locally everybody says there aren't any houses, but what they really mean is that there aren't any turn key houses that have all the amenities they want. Builders are building a lot of crap that isn't what buyers want - that is a problem. But there are a lot of older homes that someone could put in some sweat equity and have a great home at a reasonable price - but nobody wants to be first into those neighborhoods or to do the work.

-- First time buyers have more support than they realize. Not only are there FHA and USDA programs to help them, but states also have down payment assistance and various first time buyer programs.
> "primarily used to influence or persuade an audience to further an agenda."

Yea, I don't see the agenda, just writing about some memories of the shared experiences of submariners, and trying to explain them to a wider audience.
That makes sense. I would kill for a laptop with a split mechanical keyboard too!
> At some point I became a software engineer, had more disposable income, and had discovered the concept of modular synthesisers. Obviously this is a terrible combination.

Good grief but this made me laugh.

I partially fell down that damn rabbit hole myself, although managed to avoid modular thus far. I decided to get back into making music during the 2020 lockdowns, spent a lot of time kitting out my office to double as a studio. Spent too much time watching gear reviews on YouTube, and Studio Time by Tom Holkenborg (Junkie XL). Bought a Polybrute, and a bunch of second hand kit: couple of acid boxes, an old Akai sampler (actually two of them from which I built a single "monster" rig), a DX7 (which I can confirm is very hard to program, although Dexed helps), a couple of drum machines, and some other stuff. This is on top of kit I already owned.

I also repainted and refloored the room, added 72 sockets, routed power cables around the walls, and fitted industrial cable conduit to route signal cables over the ceiling. I fitted floor to ceiling shelving around 3 sides of the room, and added guitar hangers to the fourth wall. I then fitted a 1200W equivalent LED ceiling light cluster for working, a few other LED lamps, and added a 57 metres (really) of coloured LED strip lighting. Bear in mind we're talking about a room that's 2.5m x 2.5m so it's possibly in the top 10 of the most excessively lit rooms in all of human history.

And how many tracks have I finished since I started all this?

None.

Point 3 is, at least for me the single take home message I absolutely needed to read from this:

> 3: You need to find ways to force yourself to finish things. Arbitrary deadlines are actually sometimes good.

Number 6 is also an absolute gem:

> 6: Making your own work is a good thing to do, even if no one else is interested in what you are making. To create is to be human

Great article.
> So the requirement for free speech in your mind is simply that the setting be used by the public?

Nope. I just thought the analogy was quite bad.

When my mother passed away, I had just moved across country to start a new job just 6 months earlier. Even though I was still such a new employee, they allowed for paid time off to handle things for much longer than I would have expected. I was shocked and very appreciative of that. My previous employer would never have considered something like that which was one of the many reasons I left.

Why don't you inform people when their account is penalized?
I don't think it's a "convenient for the sake of gaining/maintaining power". I think we're in the middle of a political realignment, and the new primary divide comes down to how much you "trust" the individual to make good decisions. That was the divide with Covid, and it's kind of the divide for ideas and social media. The left is now represented by the highly educated professional class who view experts as the only ones capable of making good decisions for individuals and the group in aggregate. The right is sticking to the old ideals of individuals making decisions for themselves, even if those decisions might be considered "wrong" by a set of generally accepted criteria. They distrust the motivations of experts.
Classic NYT: https://archive.ph/4QR5A
What I'm alleging is that the condition is overdiagnosed because the symptoms mimic other disorders and people absolutely seek out victimhood for clout given

1. The state of the progressive movement, where underprivilege is used to justify special treatment

2. Specific dynamics of the LGBT and especially trans community, which psychologically incentivises entry and continued participation, in the same way as a gang or cult. Complete with a flavor of excommunication for detransitioners who are accused of bigotry for saying exactly the sort of things I'm saying. What about their lived experiences?

3. The [false] promise that a troubled teen can effectively reinvent himself and become the person they want to be with pills and surgery. It's common for teens to desire to be someone else.

The clout angle isn't unique to gender dysphoria either - teenagers self diagnose with all kinds of trendy disorders in certain circles, and when I was in HS it wasn't transgenderism but bisexuality that people latched onto as a fashionable form of rebellion. Difference being we didn't give them affirmative therapy and HRT.

Sorry, but acknowledging that the incentives are perverse does not make me a bigot, and such accusations only serve to derail the discussion. Perhaps parents wouldn't be up in arms if this wasn't the default response to criticism.

Edit: also, the whole trans murder thing is a myth and perpetuating it helps no one. https://quillette.com/2019/12/07/are-we-in-the-midst-of-a-tr...

I really liked how Feynman discussed Mayan astronomy - they had a higly accurate calendar based on detailed astronomical observations, which made pretty accurate predictions - but they didn't have a very good model, i.e. the notions of planets in space orbiting the sun had nothing to do with their system. Now, was the Mayan calendar a scientific system or not? It had observations and predictions, after all.

It's entirely possible the some of the scientific models we now use are similar in nature to the Mayan calendar, even though they're based on accurate observations and make good predictions. It's an interesting concept, in any case.
These threads are so boring.

IDLE restarts the entire computation in a subprocess every time you press “run”. It is excellent for beginners and small projects, as no reloading is required when you change the code of an imported module.
You basically get all of that back with a decent rewards or cash-back card, plus you get the protections of buying with a credit card, and some of them are no fee.
Yup. This is so hard to internalize. And to keep fresh in ones mind after extended periods of time with no external gratification. I stopped making a lot of art in the past because I felt like It was just for me and that wasnt enough.
Hawaiian Airlines to use SpaceX's Starlink internet on trans-Pacific flights
You use the word “should” here without making any effort to elaborate on your values and the judgment you are making.

The answer to why people are fighting this is that they want to live in a society that places other values higher than squeezing every last cent of profit out of fast food workers.

They believe we should not do that. You believe we should.

Is the society that results from your vision more appealing than theirs?
Damn, that's cool.

> It's not "socially infectious" like a disease, it's "socially infectious" in the sense of "oh wait, so these feelings I've been dealing with have a name, and I don't have to keep being miserable?" LGBT people tend to find each other and become friends, even while they're all still in the closet, and one coming out tends to have a bit of a chain reaction. It's not a bad thing unless you view being LGBT as a bad thing.

You put that far more eloquently than I could!
Reverse mortgages don't prevent death. In my market, we have a lot of people of advanced age, and when they are gone entire neighborhoods will suddenly be available. From what I can tell, this is true in a surprising number of areas around the country.
> Am I the only person here that finds Twitter a nice place?

I sure read a lot more junk here on HN than I do on my twitter feed, mostly because I have a lot more control on what comes my way there. However, keep in mind that by having such control, one is very prone to ending up in an echo chamber whereas on HN, I learn to think differently once in a while because of someone who disagrees with me and puts up a civilized response.

I'd like to have both environments. Each have their pros and cons.
> Like he wants to move the clock. Oh my god just leave it where it is
> and get on with your job.

I have an ultrawide monitor. I would very much like for the macOS clock to be centered in the menubar (except when using the built-in display, which for some ungodly reason has a notch in it) or failing that at least to the left of the menu icons. It makes a huge usability difference for me, as otherwise I have to physically turn my head, and sometimes crane my neck depending on how my eyes are treating me.

This is impossible out of the box, and maybe possible depending on what third-party tools I hack together. IIRC command-dragging used to work on the clock, but either it never did and I'm misremembering, or the clock and the iOS-replica Quick Settings panel are special and exempt.

> I'm amazed that people don't just use the software as it's designed.

Why? Sometimes it's badly designed for a use case you're unfamiliar with, and needs a fix. Sometimes it's just hobbyists being hobbyists. This forum is called "Hacker News," after all.
Because of my RSI it feels a lot easier and healthier than using the built-in keyboard but I recognize that's not the case for everyone
Well, if the rules are the same as an actual public square, then outgroups can participate in exactly the same way as they do in actual public spaces, governed by laws enshrining freedom of expression. That is to say they may be insulted and ridiculed by members of the public because we as a society have decided that we don't trust any authority to moderate public discourse.

These conditions do in fact represent "actual" freedom. Basically if you support people insulting and ridiculing Nazis (which I do), you should support them insulting and ridiculing anyone else on the same principle.
You didn't need to transfer application data, swapping ROM/OS shouldn't touch that.
You are confusing free speech with trespassing. You can say whatever you want on private property, but you have to be invited onto property in order to not be trespassing. The invite can be rescinded and you can be asked to leave. You can’t literally trespass on digital spaces as the law is written. If people violate the TOS I have no problem in removing them. But when things like saying that men cannot get pregnant is hate speech, you are simply going to get some pushback that is not hate speech and people shouldn’t be removed.
OneLogin? More like ZeroLogin, amirite?
Oh, no. I guess that's how it is in the end :)
Just to note that a lot of this is not actually weapons. A lot of robotic limbs and medical R&D is commissioned by the DoD and specifically DARPA. Maxar may sell imagery to the military to track Russia troop movements and the US Forest Service to monitor wildfires. DoD spends a lot of direct healthcare too
How useful is dynamic upstream which is new to me?
It's common among many ancient cultures to treat equinoxes and solstices as events of great importance, as those mark the beginning of the season change, but not all regions experience seasons the same.

Ancient Egyptians, while knowledgeable of astronomy, had only three seasons: Akhet (summer/heat), Peret (flooding, of the Nile) and Shemu (harvest). Notice the conspicuous absence of winter.

So, essentially, the word has become a homonym? Just like "left" has multiple meanings depending upon context, now so "woman"?

That makes sense to me, but then still the question is unanswered, what is the definition of "woman" in a social context? We have the biological definition, but the other definition is still seemingly ephemeral.

Edit:

Small spelling errors. Also, what makes this a loaded question? I agree it's difficult to answer, but on the surface at least asking for the definition of a word doesn't seem loaded to me.
That's a really cool site! Any chance you could add an additional filter for microSD support?
> That experience is about to have a modern incarnation.

You speak like it's coming, but it's already been this way for years. I worked at a company with an SPA that officially only supported Chrome, and I've since used services by other companies that did not work in Safari or FF only be told by their tech support that I must use Chrome.
Musk always does aggressive layoff rounds until the company is in a solidly profitable state, as could be seen at Tesla and SpaceX.

So an employee revolt would neither be unexpected nor entirely unreasonable.

Note: not to imply that SpaceX is profitable, they certainly are deep in the red due to Starlink and Starship. But that's by choice.
“A Honeypot for Assholes”: Twitter’s 10-Year Failure to Stop Harassment (2016)
I tried Graal/Truffle last year, to make a toy language of my own. Unfortunately the state of documentation and tutorials was simply not good enough and I had to give up on it. I think for someone who is a Java/Graal enthusiast, Truffle documentation may be enough, but for someone like me who knows just the basics of Java and its ecosystem, the Truffle language implementation docs seemed woefully inadequate.

Its a shame though, for what I did understand of Truffle seemed very interesting. I do plan on trying truffle yet again in a few years, when hopefully the community size and the state of the documentation have improved.
Heh. I’ve still got a G4 PowerBook and can run Clsssic. Not that I’ve tried in many a year.

The OSX on it seems still pretty spritely today though I’ve obviously had to get the FireFox back port branch to be able to use a browser.
Sounds like he used to be younger and needs to see an optometrist.
It seems to me like the argument is premised on an equivocation that neither side seems to really address: one side is referring to sex and the other is referring to gender.

My general definition is “adult female human” which makes sense taking into account how “woman” has been used by almost everyone (until very recently). For example, the “women” in “women’s sports” is referring to the sex of the participants, since sports are sex segregated due to biological differences, not gender differences.

I’d also argue that “man” and “woman” are parallel to the words we use to describe other animals, e.g. buck and doe for deer, cow and bull for cattle, etc. They’re species-specific sex identifying terms.

Those I‘ve talked to on the other side treat “woman” as signifying gender rather than sex, so a person who is trying to be treated as a woman socially should be referred to as such.

I don’t see a problem with generally referring to trans women as “women” in social situations out of politeness; the issue of whether a trans woman is a “real woman” only really comes up when the person’s biology actually matters (e.g. “womens health” and the like).

Edit: typos
Dogs seem to hunt pretty much anything. I wonder if we've bred out the understanding of what is and isn't edible in dogs, but not cats? Or perhaps its a social thing that wild canids teach their young?

Half the dog owners I know have some story of their dog catching a hedgehog or something equally inedible, but the worst that seems to happen with cats is their prey fights back a bit harder than they expected and they get a rat scratch.
The problem even with the paradox is that you can define "intolerant" as anything you want, and it creates a new problem: of becoming a slippery slope not against "intolerance" in itself, but a bucket category that is gradually filled with anything and everything slightly distasteful to the morally superior or elite.
They don't prevent death, they sell your house bit by bit back to the bank, until there is nothing left to inherit. And the trend these days is for financial institutions to hold housing stock as rental properties, not to put it on the market.
> Russia increases military budget in run-up to war Russia increased its military expenditure by 2.9 per cent in 2021, to $65.9 billion, at a time when it was building up its forces along the Ukrainian border
