The "what" is way trickier than that. I was suicidal for ~15 years, no matter if things were going well or badly. There were years when things were perfect, awesome, but I was still depressed.

I've tried all the "normie" shit, I really did. My brain is simply fucked.

The only thing that worked is medication (and not the standard ones, what I'm taking would not even be considered by most doctors in Europe - but it would in the US). The dumbest thing here is I would be put in prison if anyone found out.

Now I've mostly fixed depression and anxiety, the only thing remaining is my attention/self-control - ADHD, and illegal stimulants work for that but they're not quite enough, I need to be very careful to take them under specific circumstances so I can form new habits and retrain my brain. I'm basically doing Cognitive Behavioural Therapy all on my own.

This is pretty bad - when you fuck up for decades, it's extremely hard to better yourself, especially when you realize just how badly things went.
Yes same as me.

But when they want to see I can write a handful of algorithms blind, I'm learning as well just something else than usual.
I don't expect a copyright match using these. But if you do get one, consider the site flawed since the music is supposed to be royalty free, gratis and absent of copyright
We've watched our local (seaside town) carparks turn to an absolute shit show with the arrival of these. Before: insert money, get ticket. Now: type registration number (on non qwerty keyboard), lots of to-ing and fro-ing as person / spouse tries to remember registration number; hop between totally non intuitive set of screens trying to figure out how to pay; ticket eventually drops out through badly designed slot and is blown away on the sea breeze.

Meanwhile: ad companies presumably hoover up registration marketing data and sell it on.

What also drives me nuts is the "soft" element that has been removed. In the old days you bought a space and then had that nice interaction with other people if you left early when you could give them your ticket.

Not only is this new approach profit maximisation at the expense of ease of use, it's also profit maximisation at the expense of social contact.

Legally, I'd be interested to know if anyone's done the work on what renting a space looks like. I mean, I've paid for that space for one hour so if I leave after half an hour, don't I have a say over giving my ticket to a random...?
This is Internet Rationalism, distilled and bottled: masturbatory rediscovery (there's a reason we've been calling it "post-industrial" for the last 40 years) mixed with a healthy dose of neoreactionary handwringing ("civilizational collapse").

You can imagine my shock at discovering that Palladium is funded by Thiel[1] (non-partisan, indeed!), and that one of their founders is now working on Web3 (post-industrial, indeed!).

Admittedly once the crypto transfer is done there's no need to involve someone else to fence the goods, but note that one million USD of gold isn't actually that hard to move around (less than 17kg / 37lbs), although you'd stand out at airport security. I once carried a small quantity (by value) of silver coins through Manchester Airport, UK and attracted far more attention there than I wanted!

Scapy is great if you want to send and receive packets onto a network from Python. There are a few gotchas, for example it can be eager to send real packets out in order to resolve names which might not always be what you want if you're doing offline analysis.

If you are parsing packet captures or defining custom protocols then dpkt[0] is also worth a look. It's a simpler module with substantially higher performance.

I worked for a while as a contractor for Parkeon/Flowbird, and asked about the keyboard layout to a hardware manager there.

His explanation was that they did not use AZERTY or QWERTY because it wouldn't work for foreigners.
On the whole, what bothers me most about many parking apps is that they are apps. I don't want to have to download apps and register user accounts. Ideally I'd like to scan a QR code that takes me to a checkout page _without user registration_ where I can just enter the relevant details, Apple Pay and done. You don't need to know my name, address, phone number or email address — no other parking ticket machine in the world would ask for these. Anything more than my vehicle registration and payment method is overcomplicating it.
> Its presence as an entirely isolated unit within the machine is mandated by payment processors. It is a separately certified secure enclave that shields the card payment authorization process from the rest of the system so your information, most importantly your PIN, can't leak.

There's absolutely a way to get (non-sensitive) display output out of it so they can reuse the main screen for display at least (fast food self-checkout machines do this in my area - the status display from the card terminal is replicated on the main screen during the payment process).
To me as an outsider, this sounds like the Apple pendent to white privilege. I don't really want to doubt your experience but how do you know that there is no prestigiousness when you seem to be in a position with an abundance of disclosures?
People (and tool developers) forget that the purpose of a stock is to ultimately produce dividends. It is like buying a house for rental income and forgetting to include the rent.

When I retired I had to switch from a growth-stock mindset to an income-stock mindset. I have made the switch but none of the free tools makes that easy. The closest I came was TOS will do this calculation for stocks but not ETFs. Oh well. I now have all the calculations in google sheets.

I also now have a backtest that goes the the beginning of the Clinton administration to the end of the Trump administration. I added dividends to the backtest. I only went to the Clinton administration so that I could use ETFs to simplify the calculations. The backtest includes dividends - which I had to add manually.
> In most cases, unless you bounced a check (There is a separate system banks use on checks. It not tied to credit agencies.) you can get an account by walking in with any check, or money, though.

ChexSystems is a credit agency. They just specialize in one data point (as of now).
You want tuple params back into an inlined function declaration? You can do that with a framehack. One of the examples from the link is Ruby style string interpolation, f-strings in Python, before f-string support.

You can fight Python on lambda support, or you can build the language you want. It gives you the tools.

I am not arguing about lambda legibility, but tilting at windmills rather than just walking around them. They can't move.
Call me when some bureaucrat loses their job, and the overseeing legislators are turned out of office.

This happens because our political systems have no incentives to prevent it from happening.
You are concluding things from a false premise. Just because mobile phones are not zero trust devices (note that there is no such thing anywhere!) doesn’t mean they are not secure against malware. While iphones have a really good security and privacy story, I may get that with sufficient tinfoil hat-layers one might choose not to trust apple (though the only target vector would be a deliberate malware created and pushed by apple itself)
But there is also the Graphene project which runs on the Pixel phones, where you have complete control over the software. But the hardware will always be somewhat proprietary so you can’t have complete trust in that either. (And no, pinephone and alia just put closed firmware into the hardware not even allowing updating it, which is strictly worse than having it patchable)

Nonetheless, both of these options are orders of magnitudes safer than desktop OSs, as per my original statement.
At least windows explorer has some great extension utilities like File Menu Tools; a tool that can be configured to cover pretty much every file explorer extension usecase you can imagine.

OSX and XDG (Gnome etc...) based systems have nothing close last time I checked.

It was. The US has/had a distributed banking system with thousands of banks. It’s archaic and stupid.

Basically, you can tell from the routing number on a check where the bank is. Back in the day, if the bank wasn’t from NYC or the same region they wouldn’t honor the check. Checks were mailed between clearing systems and would take weeks to clear. My dad maintained a bank account at the Bank of New York specifically for business travel in the 80s.

That’s mostly gone now as ACH is automated and quick.
Even if you aren’t in the “very lucrative tech hubs” and you’re making about $140K, a salary you can get in any large metro area in the US within 5-7 years and strategic job hopping, it still puts you in the top 10% of earners
Not cashing out of town checks (especially in large amounts) is definitely a thing in the US.

For larger transactions, it is also common to get a "cashier's check", drawn on the bank's own accounts to minimize the seller's counterparty risk.

The rationale for the in-town restriction is also to limit counterparty risk: if the check is from an unfamiliar bank, it is more likely to be bogus and the seller won't be able to verify the account with a quick call to a known bank nor expect to be able to address fraud within the local law-enforcement framework.
Out of the box windows management for MacOS is much worse than Windows, so not sure I follow? Power Toys does make Windows 10x better though... and they really should make it the default once it's fully stable.

I used to prefer MacOS for development, but Windows has far surpassed it in recent years, between native linux experience in WSL and better QOL tooling via Power Toys. The removal of vertical taskbar has been pretty annoying though... pretty awful on a 49" monitor. All that's left now is to get some 5nm chips in Windows machines
What they call "moving checkpoints" is a pretty widely-accepted mitigation to long-range attacks. Checkpoints might seem like a security issue, but it really depends on how recent they need to be (which is a function of staker exit delays) and the process for discovering checkpoints.

E.g. most blockchain clients come with a genesis state baked in, which is effectively a (very old) trusted checkpoint. Someone could try a long fork attack by changing the genesis, but the attack would be obvious from the git history. (Many users might still not notice, but that goes for any attack on the client codebase.)
So, if you have a watch only em wallet, all you have to do is worry about people willing to use force and who have your home address deciding that they want the number in the screen to belong to them.
This reminds me of one of my favorite features from the Mac: Quick Look — press space to instantly bring up a big contextual preview window of the selected document in the Finder.

You can bring it to Windows with this useful open source tool: https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook
No, but there is probably some law of the universe that states if there is a thread about Windows, a neckbeard must say that some feature of Windows is the worst thing ever.

I've actually never heard anyone mention Windows windows manager because the only people in the world who care don't use Windows.
You need a physical address for many things.
Features that take advantage of multiple desktops are nonexistent. I don't think a tool to assign applications to specific desktops exists even outside the built-in stuff. And setting 1-2 apps as full-screen desktop is something I really liked about macOS that's not available. Before Windows 11, desktops didn't even have unique wallpapers.
I've attempted it several times. Hell, I still have the stuff that can kill me painlessly... from what I understood, I still kinda doubt it and fear surviving it and getting brain/organ damage. That's worse than dying!

But I could never go through with it, survival instinct is a bitch and I'm basically a coward. I would still be happy if I got killed quickly somehow. Surviving an attempt would most likely make me feel even more like a loser.

Note that I never did it for attention - I told no one, no one knew. They'd be as shocked as my parents when I told them I was heavily bullied throughout school.
Have enough cash to keep you afloat for at least 6+ months of unemployment.

If that's not currently the situation try to cut back expenses where you can to reach that state (to a reason), and imo even on the expense of 401k contributions (but please remember to start again once you have enough cash).
With semantics, I believe there are three types of definitions: descriptive, classification schemes, and functional requirements.

Descriptive:
It looks like a water tank carrier. No, it looks like a tractor.

Nomenclature and classification:
In the interwar period, the British built infantry tanks like the Matilda and cruiser tanks like the Cruiser I.

Functional:
Tanker tactics, after much experimentation, coalesced into two categories. Heavy tanks for shock action to break through enemy lines. Lighter tanks operating in a wolf pack formation would exploit the break through and destroy rear depots and cut off the enemy's lines of communication.

I wouldn't be surprised if some parking operations factor in a certain percentage of fines into their revenue model so that making everyone pay (and thus no more fines) would actually decrease their profits.
Yes, as I say, clearly it happens. But when it does the results are no worse than any other bug.

And it’s far more common, and more dangerous, in my experience, to see a loop that assumes it must eventually reach a terminal condition that isn’t actually guaranteed.

I just don’t think the risk of hiring someone who misestimates the time complexity of an algorithm is sufficiently great that it’s worth explicitly filtering for. Why is this the one piece of hard won experience or academic knowledge that we need a candidate to have before they join our company, given that it’s something that can be taught in a single CS101 lecture, and in practical terms, something I can explain to a competent developer in about ten minutes?
There’s other weirdness too. CDLs are different between states. Oregon used to issue lots of shady licenses to undocumented and on the run type people.
It's going to be the most locked-down and telemetry-based version of Linux you ever saw. Think a Chromebook but far, far worse. Yes, there will be Linux stuff inside it. But it won't be desktop Linux as we know it.
Windows does have multiple desktops. Win+Tab to add and move between them.
Good point @davidmitchell2. I will do that.

> Why does having a fulfilling social life mean I can’t have a fulfilling work life too?

Those who already have fulfilling social lives don't point out their shot at having a fulfilling work life as their justification to return to the office.

Also, that chance of using work as a way to fill in the void in their personal life comes at a steep expense: hours of their personal life wasted in long commutes, and constraining their choice of places to live as a tradeoff between how far they live from the office and how much they are willing to spend for a home.

> Everything is predicated on it being an either/or, but I feel lucky enough to have great relationships both in and out of work.

It is an either/or. The time, money, and energy you're forced to waste every single day just to commute to work is ripped out of your personal time.

The two hours you spend in traffic every single day are two hours you don't get to spend with your family/friends. Either you spend those hours playing with your son/daughter, or driving from the office.

How exactly is this not an either/or scenario?
Ad hominems are not the best place to start if you want to make a valid counterargument; I could just as easily point out that the authors of this paper are linked to anti-vax groups. Their bias could actually be fine if they were performing methodologically sound research in good faith, but they are pretty clearly not.

In either case, regarding these particular ad hominems:

(1) As someone else already said, r/COVID19 is generally a pro-rigorous-science sub, not a pro-vaccine sub. If it looks like they are pro-vaccine, that is because all rigorous, well-designed studies to date support the position that vaccines are safe and effective[0].

(2) The pubpeer for this paper has several independent reviews, so if you want to shoot one of the messengers because you think their pro-vaccine bias automatically invalidates their arguments, just go read one of the other ones instead. They all draw the same conclusion: this study is garbage and its results are nonsense.

I genuinely don’t know how, without motivated reasoning, anyone could say every critical argument “didn’t really address anything”. They describe how the authors appear to be p-hacking; how they appear to have manipulated the data (shifting timelines and age ranges to improve the fit) and graphs (axis manipulation to magnify the appearance of a signal) to lead people to draw false conclusions; how they reported mathematically impossible results; how they used inappropriate statistical methods. Perhaps most importantly, studies that were done using valid data from the same cohort—actual diagnosed cardiovascular events, not ‘volume of calls to EMS for possible cardiovascular events’; actual vaccination records, not ‘well this is around the time that people were getting vaccinated’—found no correlation between vaccinations and cardiovascular events[1][2].

If, after all this, you still think that this study is not garbage, ask yourself: what would need to be true for you to change your position?

[0] Just to head off any dumb arguing about this: yes, there are small risks associated with the COVID vaccines. We know about these risks as a result of rigorous scientific study, and those studies conclude that the risk from COVID infection is still greater than the risk from vaccination for approved groups. When vaccine risk can be minimised—for example, matching different vaccines with different groups—that is what health agencies are doing.

The tone of this article does not match its contents.

This is some cherry picked data to suit a narrative, presented as a matter of fact. That is a mistake.
How do you figure? As someone who recently switched to Mac I found that the out of the box windows management on Windows was far superior to MacOS. I needed to install a whole bunch of third part tools to make MacOS usable.
I didn't see it mentioned (forgive me if I missed it) but you can also assign to slices:

>>> n = list(range(10))
>>> n[::3] = 'fizz'
>>> n
['f', 1, 2, 'i', 4, 5, 'z', 7, 8, 'z']

It's weird but occasionally useful.
Fine, not everyone knows QWERTY. It's not intuitive, people aren't born with an innate knowledge of a keyboard layout.

But you also can't name a layout which is more familiar than QWERTY, and its regional variants (including AZERTY).

If you don't want to localize, US QWERTY would probably be the single most familiar layout globally.
Well to start, the assholes using a South Dakota trust held by a Nevada LLC to run a Delaware corporation would have a harder time hiding their beneficial ownership and might have to pay taxes.

Also the “mark of the beast” crowd is real, really loud and politically powerful.
Yeah, is it localized to eleven fallback languages, and accessible to blind people, and included in the security threat model? Including anything in Windows costs serious money, so for some niche features you might need to install an out of band, less supported package.
> We can imagine a possible scenario of the collapse of our own civilization. Our ability to perceive decline would be compromised early in the process.

Social media and the Internet is the new opium of the masses. We view the world through this crappy lens and it never matches what's really going on. We think we have a clear picture, but everywhere there is chaos and decline. Klaus Schwab's 'Great Reset' proposal won't cut it. We need mobilized mass revolution and political will to get out of the various messes we are in.

Big Short was a movie that other people loved but I just didn’t really like all that much. I don’t even know why. I think maybe the cameo scenes made it feel a little dumbed down?

I’d also watched Inside Job not long prior and really enjoyed it, but others found it too dry. Different strokes I guess.

That is incorrect. This is actually the norm in most countries in the world.

The work being online just makes it better hidden and thus a more difficult fraud to detect but it has no incidence on the legality of the work.
A lot of these things seem like they could cause extreme confusion for a low-ability user.

Wow never seen this.

Yes.. but how would I know it had I not read about it here? I have to use macs at work and it's filled with "WTF?" moments. Like why the hell would I want to make something fullscreen with the green button on the window title bar, when coming from linux/windows I expect it to maximise the window.. and window maximising is done by some weird incantation.

Installing of applications is done by dragging them into some place, and then there is no feedback about what is happening. And so on and on.
