You might be a fairly 'protected' person. This is one of the ways unscrupulous managers try to get you to do things that are detrimental to you yet beneficial to themselves/the company - to get you into a state of self-doubt and misery so that you'll make the decision yourself.

One way to get around this is recording everything you do and feel on a daily basis. Otherwise it's one claim against the other.

Historically, it's similar to the way women try to control men since they're not as physically competitive - if you've seen chinese dramas featuring an emperor and his wives it always boils down the cliche of 'oh but it's for you, the emperor's sake' or something like that.
I'm curious how to arrive at a point in life where one has enough friends to make this plausible. I hope Lincoln goes beyond the design and accomplishes living in a place like this, and writes about it. I daydream about intentional community like this.
I'm from the EU, and after moving to North America with my partner I realized you can't just part-time anything in NA.

No matter what you are (goth/nerd/cyclist/painter/activist/etc), you have to dial it to 11 and be Really Serious about it. It was weird feeling like a wannabe at all of my hobbies, because I merely liked them, I wasn't serious about it with a goal-oriented diet+exercise regimen aimed for fast gains

> A child born in the 80s is lucky to still have living parents toda

Average age of the parents at birth in 1980 was around 26-27 years, life expectancy at birth for 1953 is around 74 (men) and 77 (women); even using expectancy at birth instead of life expectancy at 26-27, an average-age parent of a child born in 1980 would be expected, on average, to live into about the late 2020s. And that just gets later for people born later in the 1980s.
From the About page:

>Bram Stoker’s Dracula is an epistolary novel - it’s made up of letters, diaries, telegrams, newspaper clippings - and every part of it has a date. The whole story happens between May 3 and November 10. So: Dracula Daily will post a newsletter each day that something happens to the characters, in the same timeline that it happens to them.
I might be dumb, but Why?
I think the issue is where you feel you are buying a product at a premium. If something is cheap you accept problems more readily, or blame yourself for your decision[1]. Apple certainly place themselves at the premium end.

[1] This is based on research conducted in my own head.
In my eyes there is a whole class of pages that can easily pull off a static-page-with-sprinkles-of-js approach. And for any page within that class it is probably the best way to do it by far. It is blazingly fast, it has as few moving parts as needed, while the moving parts are highly standard, need few to no updates and will very likely work in 10 years time. It is safe as heck, because there is no web facing backend anybody could hack.

With the right static site generator you have a propper backend-editor as well, so comfort is not needlessly suffering.

Anything more complex, with accounts, logins etc is of course a different class of pages.
I think it's the Irumodic Syndrome
Clearly it depend what kind of game. (For server-side text-based interactive games, Telnet or SSH will probably do OK, though)
If the host cancels, you lose out the opportunity, but only get back what you've already deposited and a voucher (which doesn't cover the higher cost of a new booking!)?

that sucks. I think a host should only be allowed to cancel if they offer another place with similar features (like room number, and location) for the same amount of time.
I believe he starts of talking about Scandinavia in the 5 minute mark. I can’t find a transcript online, and I am not good at transcribing. I find him arguing out of prejudice against people of color, at-least that is what I got listening to him. Reasonable people can disagree, this is how I see his stance.

I didn’t know who he was until recently, YouTube showed me his videos after I listened to some videos of Jordan Peterson. My reaction after watching a few of his videos was this person doesn’t really like America’s current cultural change. He has repeatedly complained about diversity and inclusion in those videos. I can only conclude he has some issue with diversity, otherwise why talk about it always.

If he doesn’t have an issue with diversity why go to school board meeting and to speak against a policy which will increase participation of African American and Hispanic students?.
While using data lake for this case is a good idea. I'm not sure if parquet is the particular good storage format for data like event log, audio log. The data is often row oriented and does not take full advantage of a column based format.
Anyone know of a good quality comparison out there? A video or blog post?
I think (based on what I've read on the linked page) the notice was telling Heroku that "hey, someone used a compromised OAuth token to download your source code" not that "the tokens that you are using to read Github repositories of your users are compromised". Both are Github OAuth tokens, but playing different roles. Presumably the compromise of source code might have been used to help get access to the database that had the Github integration OAuth tokens, and realizing that might indeed have taken a couple days.
Similar for graphics cards. For about a year there just weren't any. One of the manufacturers set up a waiting list to sell direct to customers, but it was still taking a year on the waiting list for people to get them and they had to shut down the list. Even now two years into it, the low quantities available retail are still selling at double or triple MSRP.

I wonder how many years the companies can keep running without producing or selling much. Also what the situation is with employees. Here in the U.S. a company would be quick to start layoffs if there's no revenue and no work to do, and after years passed it wouldn't be easy to quickly restaff and rebuild capacity.
and you can't skip through the video, there are literally zero controls besides pause/play, so don't bother wasting your time, I think I haven't seen such bad player in years
> Teenagers don't know or care about recessions or inflation as it doesn't affect them. Nor do they know about the cost of housing and education.

Teenagers are affected by recessions, inflations, housing costs and education. Their parents cant afford things, argue about money, they have to move, loose house, learn they have to take more debt for college or plain cant afford them.

I mean, yes, if your parents are rich, then teenager has zero idea about the above. But, everyone else, poor teenagers, lower and middle class teenagers are affected. know.
Well, it only seems to be getting worse on this one.

I’m keen to get off Heroku, but waiting for one of the newer alternatives (Render/Fly+others) to implement WAL point in time restore for Postgres. It’s the only thing keeping me on Heroku now, but is indispensable.

Anyone here from them have any update on when we could see that feature made available?
This is a good test to see if they have what it takes to survive in the metaverse. /s
I was also a teenager in 2008, as were many other people I know. If they weren't affected by it directly, most didn't even care. At the time I remember looking at the stock index dropping with some amusement and went on with my life.
I don't think the problem is necessarily knowing what kind of place the world is, but being constantly reminded by it. I believe social media would be harmful even if it was full of happy news, simply because it provides constant distraction which isn't natural for our brains.

Also, often young people compare their lives to unrealistic images portrayed through social media influencers, and get depressed when their life seems worse. So even "positive" content can be a source of depression.
My grandfather was born in the year 1900 (he had my mom in 1960). I was born in the 80s. I knew about all the wars and the Great Depression by the time I was 8. It was frequently talked about, particularly the Depression, among the elders in my family. And my brother and I were always fascinated with the big wars from a young age. At any rate, my great grandmother would save EVERYTHING. Nothing ever went to waste. No food, no item, was thrown away willy nilly. She had the same appliances for decades (they actually lasted). She would save up bottles and cans and actually turn them in for money. She raised 3 kids as a widow in the Depression. I never, ever got the impression that my grandparents or great-grandparents had it worse than me. I knew by the way they carried themselves. They grew up in a time of scarcity and the influence of that carried with them until death.
I always enjoy reading these, but this one is special for me because it relates to two back burner projects I'm thinking about recently:

1. building a custom mechanical timer, which I want for practical use.

2. designing a real-world alethiometer - a fictional watch/compass device with chaotic (magical) behavior - which runs entirely on clockwork. I've been wondering how to incorporate a source of significant entropy into a watch movement. One idea, for example, is something like a double pendulum, but made from torsion springs.
The One True Way will always rise up and claim its victims, especially the inexperienced and/or naive amongst us.

I sometimes think TOTW is actually an ancient one that thinks Cthulhu is an infant.
Generally would be taken to mean you had a meal at night then go to sleep. then the following day eat nothing and go to sleep. Eat normally when you wake.

Eating one meal a day even breakfast would be considered a 23-1 intermittent fasting schedule or something, but realistically you are in a fed postprandial state for several hours after the meal so there's some daylight between one meal a day and actual 24 hour fasts.
> they are going to inherit a pretty terrible world, and are powerless to do anything about it

You yourself show a big problem with social media: feelings and takes which are not based in reality at all. Of course if you think the world is TERRIBLE and in EVERYTHING is FALLING APART you're not going to have a good time, regardless of whether that's actually the case or not.

Kind of experienced that when interviewing for one of the well-known music steaming companies years ago.

They had one critical service in Erlang and the developer who coded it had left years ago and nobody knew the language so they wanted to rewrite it.

I was starting using Elixir back then and said I could maybe took that code over but they chose the other candidate ;)
I don’t know if you were offended by that comment, but just because you may not have considered your future in your teens (don’t know if you did or didn’t, but that doesn’t matter) doesn’t mean that all others also did not. For example in my teens I was very much concerned with what I’d do when i was older and whether or not I’d be able to buy a house or afford to go to college.. these are not strictly adult concerns. Also kids see and hear their parent(s) worrying about money or student loans or mortgage or rent and it’s not unreasonable that they too become concerned about those things.

> “People in this thread need to stop projecting their problems and worldviews as universal social issues.”

But you are doing just the same thing by dismissing peoples perspectives and opinions as irrelevant….
It's not free money it's a loan, and the bank would still be doing means testing to ensure you can afford the larger loan (well I'd hope). It's all being paid back.
This is a good measure to stop that widening inequality and I'd wager one of the reasons inequality was lower back in the day when 100% loans were normal.
News brings you the ugly but it doesn’t teach you how to cope. Actually
it does the exact opposite and tries to elicit emotional response. The news also covers the negative world events much more than the positive ones.

People need to learn that the news is biased and uses fallacies like the slippery slope to make harsh reality sound even harsh than it actually is.

> A child born in the 80s is lucky to still have living parents today

Wut?!

Born in 1966 here, still have living parents. Ditto for my wife. Where do you live that parents are lucky to make it past their sixties? And where grandparents shun their grandkiddies? Such bizarre claims!
It's not how about effective it is, but how pleasant. Money quote is "He sat down in a huff."
Here we are not just talking about any taxi service. But someone who is known and paid to go to airport pick certain people up probably showing a sign or something to indicate to candidate that they are there for them. Includes things like being compensated for any wait time for delays likely. Drop them off at hotel. Go pick from hotel again and then likely deliver to right place in office and even give instructions where to go there.

Perfectly sensible service to out-source and something that you want to work each time or have responsibility to arrange someone else to do same thing.
Maybe, but still it means I'll just pass on fly.io and go with render. Their feature set is not that compelling that I'll want to jump through hoops to get company authorization or have to deal with expenses to use my own card.
Why is the employer not the one who should subsidize it?
Why should the employer only profit from underpaid labor?
Is it because they "create jobs"? But no, most jobs exist whether someone is running a workplace or not.

Also you seem to have the idea that working a job is somehow inherently good. Some of them just are not and are a waste that are actively preventing people from working on what is necessary.

Example, a store clerk paid more than a teacher despite shortage of teachers. Garbage disposal specialists being notoriously underpaid because we feel like it.
Research being underfunded compared to development compared to management.

Finding a place that's paid actual labor value is almost impossible in fact, as if the system based on maximizing profit is not optimizing for that but for lowest possible salary...
You can compute a rough estimate of a labor value by an input-output model. Note that more things being produced is an actual negative value if they're not needed or sold.

Suppose having a line manager makes an employee 5% more efficient than not, but the gain falls the more employees each manager has to manage, even potentially becoming negative in some cases. Yet, "market forces" which is other managers set themselves a high salary.
I've been curious for a while with this game. Seeing it on HN, maybe it's time to give it a chance.
Any thoughts on Guix as compared with Nix? I've tinkered a bit with Nix, including running NixOS for a bit on my laptop, but quite like the lispy languages in comparison.
I prefer to say that "Macs just work" but to frame it as "Macs only just work" or more cynically "Macs only work for Apple not you"

They just do one basic job, they are not some advanced computing tool that you can own and customise.
At my previous employer we've run it just fine from an EC2 instance talking to a MySQL RDS database. At some point the triggers from pt-osc were really hurting when trying to migrate big (several billion rows) table with heavy traffic and gh-ost really helped with that. That said, gh-ost is definitely a big boy tool and it took us a few tries to get the settings just right. No downtime or anything, we just had to delete the new table and start over. Still annoying when it wastes several hours :)
> Things like checked arithmetic matter and should be enabled by default in safe builds, yet Rust does not actually do this in safe release builds. Zig does and I hope that Rust one day will.

The entire origin of unchecked arithmetic being a problem originates from their use as indexes to buffers. If you solve the indexing buffer issue you don't need to completely expand every single mathematical operation to a checked one which slows down the code. If people want checked artihmetic for some reason in the rare case that it matters in a non-buffer case, then they can used things like checked_add.
> Teens are aware that they are going to inherit a pretty terrible world

With respect, I truly mean no insult when I say this is a naive and ignorant position.

By every measure, the world is generally better than it has ever been. Far better than any decade in the past you could care to name. Despite media doom-and-glooming, there is every reason to expect that teens will inherit an overall materially better world than their parents, local minima notwithstanding.

Somewhat related to the anecdote you’re skeptical of: I was a law clerk for multiple years for a presiding judge and if you were a wise attorney rule #1 was be kind to the administrative staff at the courthouse - judges would find out if you were rude and while no-one was ever unethical, in my opinion, arrogant attorneys were definitely grilled more than polite ones. Kindness gets you a long way. And if you were a jerk to my secretary I was definitely not putting in the extra effort to dig through the two-foot stack of motions we got everyday to fast track your motion to postpone to the presiding judge. It’s not my fault you filed it at the 11th hour.
Ask HN: My house just got hit by lightning and it fried the PSU in my computer
If everything is wired correctly in my house, should all equipment attached to my UPS have survived this with no impact or is a direct lightning strike so powerful that even high-quality home-grade UPS must give up?

My computers were connected to an UPS surge projector. Various kitchen machinery and extension sockets that was not doesn't work anymore. The neighbor's TV blew.

There was a bright white flash inside of my living room, just under an open window and directly above the my UPS surge protector and then all my devices turned off including the surge projector. The PSU in one of the computers is gone, but not the motherboard and rest.

I was sitting on the concrete floor in the middle of the room watching it happen.

I live in Thailand in the middle of a big flat coconut groove with only two houses. Except for the palm trees, my house is the tallest structure in a 200 x 200 meters (300 feet)+ area and we have frequent huge thunder storms, but this one was in a category on its own. It made my concrete walls tremble. It was so intense. Spectacular show by nature.

Only two months ago, I bought a socket outlet tester. It reported that my sockets was not grounded. I got an electricians out to fix that. I suspect this is the reason why the lightning chooses me. We have frequent big thunderstorms and haven't had this issue before, but now there is a ground connection.

I don't know if there is a proper grounding rod. There is a cable going from the house into the ground, but I don't know what it is attached too. The rest of the electric installation is amateur's business so could be connected to nothing. The house is a long-term rental and the electric installation came with it, but I can change it regardless of it's is a rental.

The electricity doesn't even come directly from the power company's cables. It goes in to the owners house, where the meter is. From there they have pulled a 200 meter cable into ours. There is a fuse box in my house.

Any suggestions on what to do next? A big metal stick somewhere in the garden?
The coddling argument is imho just weak. It is "the kids these days have it too easy" argument to devalue their positions without really arguing with them.
> But you can imagine it needs to be resilient to atmospheric nuclear blasts, have the ability to support tons of communication gear, internal security, radar jamming/chaff systems, infrared suppression, support for press operations. There are rumors about things like onboard surgery suites.

Why?
A secret homophobe? Who said it was a secret? It's just as likely that it wasn't particularly secret.

If a homophobe was working for HR (in 2022) they would hide it, even to the extent of making sure to hire some percentage gays no matter what they thought personally.

> If your friend told you "man, my last customer was a jerk" you would distrust that?

My personal friend? That's the standard we're expecting from a giant corporation's bureaucracy? It just has its personal friends that it trusts.

That kind of thing is just gross, is my point. Maybe it's how everything works, welcome to the real world, etc. But it's nothing to be praised or admired.

The corporation should vet its "personal friends" at least as closely as its official HR personnel. Otherwise they're an unaccountable source of bias in the hiring process.
If you can write a specification that detailed, you can just get a fixed price.

It's worth knowing that most courts worldwide consider a ticket or reservation to be a binding agreement to provide the services, and to accept liability when the services cannot be provided.

That means if they boot you from the flight or hotel room, they have to pay for your costs to find a replacement.

Yes, many companies have terms that try to limit their liability, but those terms usually aren't enforceable.

Branded TLDs have been around for a while. Unfortunately, it's all just about signalling "we're a megacorp"; I have yet to see them used well (e.g. for Canon, I would expect something like [modelnumber].canon to work (and ideally get me through to the support page of the item) ... and I'd love [serialnumber].canon to reverse-dns-resolve to the web interface of a such-enabled device [mostly so that they can have proper SSL certificates] - of course with sensible security and the option to deactivate that functionality)
