My brother is a watch maker and fixer. It's an art that's becoming rarer and rarer with the advent of smart watches. Although his job is surprisingly secure because very wealthy people tend to pay a lot for their very fancy watches to be fixed or made. It's kind of sad how far we're moving from watches which last hundreds of years as heirlooms with minimal maintenance, to electronic waste generating items with components made as cheaply as possible and at most last several years before their irreplaceable battery dies and you purchase another.

Watches are robust technologies that work without internet connectivity, are crafted/maintained by people paying attention to mechanical parts that are sometimes about as thin as human hairs. Humans have used them for hundreds of years and they are really freaking cool.

If you think the animation is awesome(it is), consider owning the real thing. Not just for my brother's sake, but maybe for your families.
Also, why did it take oil companies this long to figure out they could collectively charge whatever they want? Why did we ever have low prices after having high prices years ago?
I use Google Hit hider by Domain[0] on Vielentmonkey [GreaseMonkey]. Works on Chromium based browsers and Firefox. So no need for a special Browser. And, in spite of the limited sounding name, it works across pretty much all of the major search engines.

As I've said on here a few times; I wish someone would create a similar *monkey script for HN!

yes, and back then you could fully retire at a much younger age - in the US at least, the full retirement age keeps increasing, and neither party is going to vote for any policy that allows SS to collapse; just not going to happen.

The fear-mongers have been alive and well for 40+ years, have no doubt they will continue to push the fear - its good for news clips and web clicks, if nothing else.
You open the app, click on the button — the camera opens or select a photo from the gallery, then crop the resulting image, it is sent to the server where the search takes place and after a couple of seconds we get the desired movie with all the important information.
It was not a slight! And of course there are exceptions. But it's not the same as in tech. You could be using some esoteric statistic framework or like coldfusion which goes deprecated for 10 years and you simply would not have modern experience. This happens all the time.

>Jobseeker’s Allowance is one forth of the average rent in London

Tricky issue. I do know that where I live (Wales), there are huge numbers of people living relatively comfortably on a benefit-funded lifestyle.

There's also a whole lot more to the UK safety net than Jobseeker's Allowance.

>If you lose your private insurance you’d have to rely on the NHS

If you don't mind me asking, are you a UK native? That's a fantastic turnaround of the typical sentiment about the NHS, which is that it's a shining example of what the wonders of socialised care can do, and how we can do without the evils of privatised healthcare. FWIW I agree with you - it's actually a stinking dump of a money pit, and an embarrassment to anyone who has experienced any other 1st world health care.
It's not hip on HN to praise Facebook but React revolutionised front-end dev with salaries now on a par with back-end Java/C# and often higher. I also really love how Facebook was born in a student dorm whilst giving the finger to the overprivileged Winklevoss twins. Priceless.
I’m mostly an infrastructure guy. I mostly fix C or identify bugs, and write integrations in Go or Python.

But I spend probably 50% of my time dealing with production problems due to this in Java business applications.

Nearly every client library in the Spring ecosystem has the worst of all possible defaults, and all internet code examples are “look at how easy X is” without anything around making it real.

Devs chuck code out without HTTP connection pooling or pipelining requests, let alone reasonable timeouts. Hikari has an awful default DB pooling config, and on and on. Inevitably it gets reported as “latency” when a quick look at [APM tool] shows all the time is spent waiting on a connection, or a stack trace shows which library chucked the timeout.

And often devs just bump connection pools higher when they see a bottleneck and there’ll be 1000 idle connections wasting DB resources and not helping the problem (inefficient query, missing index, etc).

I complain because the defaults here are masochistic. But there does need to be a cultural change where using a client or server library assumes a tuning exercise. And yeah, good testing would be great too.

There are no 1-size-fits-all values. You have to look at the use case and the SLOs of the app and it’s up and downstream dependencies. You don’t want optimizing a config in isolation to break a larger system either.

Software development is hard. It requires understanding. No language or library can solve that for this stuff. I just wish all of these libraries’ docs called that out up front vs projecting plug and play. It’s all there, but buried in the godoc for you to have to know what you’re looking for. Others are worse.

This is especially the case with http libraries, since it’s usually building a client or server object/whatever correctly and not just a config tweak you can slap in at 2am.

And back to the original point, when there are 12 implementations that can mean having to relearn this activity for each one. That said, if I’m using Go, that usually means building something with net/http and handing it to the library to use instead of the default. Other languages without that base layer baked in don’t get that advantage.

Back to Java/Spring: usually Catalina vs netty/Reactor Core are 2 totally different worlds and often dev teams don’t know which they picked or that they switched when they generated a new project and pulled their code in from Spring Boot 1.5 to 2.x.
My understanding is that young men are successful at killing themselves far more than young women, but young women attempt to kill themselves at higher rates than young men.
I don't deny any of that either. These matters are complex and I cannot reasonably argue them here without discussing other factors in detail such as changes in life expectancy over the past century, the more fatalistic approach to life pre-war (big families meant survival insurance, pre-penicillin times meant many more [expected] deaths in childhood, harder times financially, etc. etc. The whole social milieu was different.

Let me say just this: when I was growing up in the 1950s and '60s what I said above wasn't quite 'dead' yet as my childhood was pretty much similar to that—and it was often damn hard times back then (moreover, from where I came from it was so for many of the kids my age, I was no exception). Several weeks ago I gave an account of my own childhood on the HN story Old Enough: the Japanese TV show that abandons toddlers on public transport and there's no doubt that by age six I was an independent agent— that is, walking miles to school across busy roads by myself at that age and so on: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30951723#30953588. We had to be more resilient just to survive—and we were.

The fact is I'm old enough to have witnessed these changes firsthand. Leaving aside the reasons (which, no doubt, will be argued about for years to come), there is no doubt that mental health issues among the young have increased substantially in recent decades.

Edit: Incidentally, during my teenage years I cannot ever recall any mention of childhood or teenage suicide. No doubt it happened, but even the concept thereof would have been anathema to us kids back then.
It should really be something like: "a flaw in our system allowed me to delete 7am TB of videos". Not entirely your fault.
You may well be right, but as an optimist I look hard for other
explanations regarding our collective psychology.

Depression is not the same as frustration. And self limitation is not
the same as confinement. The latter allow more for overcoming, whereas
depresssion can be an inescapable existential state for Kirkegaardian
reasons.

As discussed in another thread today, on the rise of mental illness
connected to technology [1], there is a sense of societal trauma. So
many wars, recessions, pandemics and tragedies flow like water under
the bridge, never giving us time to grieve, reflect or learn. We are,
as Nietzsche said, forever tumbling, "plunging continually" into a
future, with nothing to grab hold of [2].

Some years ago I gave a talk at Goldsmiths University in London at a
conference "Against the Slow Cancellation of the Future" [3] on the
role of technology in paradoxically limiting available futures.

David Graeber and Peter Thiel [4] had more or less the same debate we
had at Goldsmiths. Inevitably the much maligned Fukuyama, simplified
into a sound-bite about the "End of History" [5] is brought out for a
whipping. Part of the issue is the transformed role of capital as a
closure around possibility, rather than an enabler of radical
possibility. But that's not limited to Capital(ism) as such. Indeed,
one possibly apocryphal story was the Chinese CCP banning stories about
time travel and alternative futures.

> learned a bit about how difficult life can be and the consequences of moral failings or lack of hard work

I don't remember anything about consequences of moral failings in the old fairy tales, just random violence and chaos. In Sleeping Beauty the prince's mother turns out to be an ogre who tries to eat Beauty's children, but luckily the prince returns in time and kills her. Where's the moral lesson there? Don't move in with your mother-in-law?

It's funny how closely early YouTube resembles TikTok in the 'average people singing, dancing, vlogging, being funny in front of the webcam' type of video that's entirely missing from modern YouTube (the webcam having been seamlessly replaced by the front-facing phone camera).

Even the median length was similar, around 30 seconds, and the video responses feature for replying to one video with another certainly looks familiar. We can look back at exactly how it was in the Wayback Machine: here's a random snapshot of the 'Most Recent' page from 2006.[1] Remember the stereotypical TikTok feed full of dancing girls?

We can't get the past internet back, of course, but this realization really made me see TikTok in a different way. (though YouTube's propensity for recommending decade-old videos ought to be noted with regard to this--a social media site willing to show you some of its oldest content, that's rare!)

> The 80s weren't a happy time, and there are no signs that that had such an impact on teen mental health

Are we sure about that? The fun thing with a lot of childhood trauma can take years to surface, let alone figure out. I personally wonder whether it has contributed to our race towards a kleptocratic society.

I can say that personally, while I was born in the early 80s, the recession had an impact on my family. Essentially, my parents chose to focus their efforts on making sure we could get as many college grants/scholarships as possible. An insanely intense focus on education and being able to sustain oneself. Didn't quite work out how they hoped.
Not precisely. If you configure the Backup Window to always (1-7/0-24) then they'd get backed up whenever they're available and their backup interval has been exceeded. The backup window can be adjusted per client or group.
Yes. Also, maybe not have a delete action in the middle of a script. It's usually better to build a list of items to be deleted. In that case, two lists: items to be deleted, items to be kept. Then compare the lists:

- make sure the sum of their lengths == number of total current items

- make sure items_to_be_kept.length != 0

- make sure no two items appear in both lists

- check some items chosen at random to see if they were sorted in the correct list

At this point the only possible mistake left is to confuse the lists and send the "to_be_kept" one to the delete script; a dry run of the delete list can be in order.

I was not able to click "next slide" at all, as it made the whole slides smaller. Literally the slide area becomes 2x smaller or larger, when you scroll the page on my Firefox. And if you scroll to make it large enough you can't see the button. It will show up when slides are to small to read...

But the content is solid. I remember thinking of subscribing some real newspaper from abroad to have a broader view and considered WSJ. Resigned after figuring out that I will have to call them to cancel. That's a joke. It feels awkward for a foreigner and may even not be technically possible.
Watership Down and the Secret of Nimh were my two favorite movies as a young child in the early 80s, followed closely by the Dark Crystal and maybe Aristocats and the Black Hole.

Other movies of the time like the Rescuers and the Fox and the Hound and Labyrinth and such were a disappointment compared to these...

I'm not sure about the rest of Europe, but in the UK neither vehicle duty nor fuel duty are used specifically for anything road related so theoretically they shouldn't need to tax it at all (beyond the standard VAT).

Vimeo completed a major migration of videos between accounts with no confirmation or communication before commiting it, then refused to reverse the change. Hardly the best service.

The article hardly comes across as 'blaming' them for the core issue but they were definitely not helpful.
Well nevermind! The HN community just literally solved my complaints!

I’ll set up my users as managed and pay for them, that’s really perfect. Since all users are accessing via a vps I control I can just whitelist that and my home networks CIDR and might be back in business!

Thanks for the help folks!
Following Abraham Lincoln's "I can make a brigadier general in five minutes, but it is not easy to replace a hundred and ten horses", an alternative would be to accept a higher risk of losing the President and having to failover to the hot spare, in the weird and unlikely circumstances that the AF1 measures would actually help. Thereby saving a few billion dollars.

Everybody in SV (and the country in general) seem to be all very into social-trends and politics.

This is how empires collapse. When everybody becomes a politician and a philosopher, nobody is there to do any actual work.
Yeah, Lets blame it on the social thing aka the present thing.

As if it teams mental health has always been great. I guess Social Media started the class cliques too in schools, the competition, the social pressure.

Social media started the 24hrs news cycle that is bombing everyone and making it look like the world is ending the next hour.
> It was once called „that animals cartoon that traumatised generations”.

Although I can imagine this being quite horrific, I also don't recall that this cartoon was all that upsetting me when I watched it as a child. Then again I grew up in the countryside so maybe it was less shocking to me because I already knew what nature was like. When it comes to animal cartoons I think Watership Down and The Plague Dogs were much worse experiences.

Still, kind of makes me wonder what's up with the UK and depressing animal cartoons.
> Who is participating in bad faith?

Hoarders. (In this instance, as per upstream comments, possibly coordinated, possibly by CCP.) There’re fairly illustrative examples in my comment that you are ignoring. You should address them if you object to that idea.

A single player cannot outbid a state and/or many players acting maliciously in accord.
The older I get, the more I hold the following two thoughts simultaneously in my head:

- "Young people are insufferable. They know nothing but think they know everything."

- "Thank $deity for young people. They have the naïveté to question everything and the energy to try fixing it."
If by "being principled or judging" you mean labelling people as evil and dismissing them then I don't accept that that's axiomatically noble.

If by "being principled or judging" you mean having any ethical values at all, then I don't see that it is inconsistent with striving to understand others' minds; I was asking because it appeared that the poster I was responding to thought so.
This sounds like a "do nothing script."

Roe has consistently been criticized by even liberal legal scholars: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/restori...

> Roe v. Wade “is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.” That was the conclusion in the Yale Law Journal of pro-choice legal scholar John Hart Ely.

> Laurence Tribe — Harvard Law School. Lawyer for Al Gore in 2000. “One of the most curious things about Roe is that, behind its own verbal smokescreen, the substantive judgment on which it rests is nowhere to be found.”

Roe is the Lochner of liberal jurisprudence. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochner_v._New_York). It makes sense only under an extrapolation of the broadly libertarian small-government sentiment behind the Constitution that the left doesn’t believe in. (It was penned by a Nixon appointee, and was reaffirmed in Casey by five Republican appointees.)
Another technique that I've used with good success is to write a script that dumps out bash commands to delete files individually. I can visually inspect the file, analyze it with other tools, etc and then when I'm happy it's correct just "bash file_full_of_rms.sh" and be confident that it did the right thing.

This may give the fetus the right to kill its host (an actual person) since a state may not allow any exceptions for abortion, including the health of the mother.

Texas passed a law denying abortions in the case of rape or incest, but I guess the notion of having a right to forced inception is hard for something that doesn't exist beforehand.
I would check this as there is refining capability throughout Canada to handle local consumption. Shipping refined gas is a problem as it goes boom too easily, Canada needs the pipelines to get their product to market as Alberta is landlocked. Newfoundland has open access but it’s at the back of beyond.

Edit: https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-commoditie...

Turns out that building key pipelines in other countries is stupid as a Canada to Canada pipeline went through the us. Probably cuz it was cheaper and who would have thought there’d be a difference of opinion between neighbours.
