I wish there were some labour laws that required this in office settings. The commute isn't what kills me in an office, its the coughing, chewing, and yelling across the room. Sheer distraction and discomfort.
It really doesn't.

Bank transfers do not cost me and happen instantaneous, not 24 hours.

I can also transfer to the US, and they receive it in 24 hours. It still doesn't cost me.
That still doesn't make it impossible, does it? The shared resource server would have a set of requirements, and the engines would have to work with that. It would also be an opt-in scenario, so if a game decided they wanted to be a part of this, they simply would work with it. It's not like games would be forced to use it.

Again, I am not saying it is a good solution, but displaying a PNG in multiple games from a shared location for /sure/ is possible.
I’m extremely bad at trading, but it didn’t stop me from achieving amazing returns. Just an example last year I had a target of $150k when it was at $50k, and also (like most people) I got a BTC based loan (it made sense for tax purposes as well). The problem was that everybody was doing it, and professional traders probably used those loans to short the market and trigger margin calls. I had multiple margin calls as well, but I was able to add extra collateral. At the same time I spoke with a person who lost all his money because he bought BTC/ETH from his loan.

At the end the only experience I got is that I’m still a bad trader, and I won’t do it :)
If I want to read something on Reddit on my phone I just use Chrome's "Desktop site" option.

Everything about these nags is idiotic to the point of insulting the user's intelligence. The randomness, the timing, and the messages themselves.

What is the browser for then? Is a browser such as Chrome not enough for a fucking forum in 2022? This circlejerk is completely out of control.
Cool website. So you want me to subscribe to a news letter so I can book a train? Very confused.

Came to these comments to figure it out. The following important bit should be more obvious.

> In 2024 we will launch the first line from our Paris hub. This will lay the foundation for our ambitious plan to create a network of more than 10 destinations, each between 800 and 1,500 km from Paris.
I use Cockpit on isolated Debian Bullseye VM hosts to provide a UI to libvirt.

It's very nice for that - it's minimalist, it doesn't get in the way of anything you want to do manually, and it doesn't wreck your VM configs if you just want to use it as a nice way to get console access.

Highly recommend!
You don’t need this to take the real thing: https://www.belmond.com/trains/europe/venice-simplon-orient-...

But it’s potentially not quite as luxe as you’re imagining; for example, nearly all of the carriages are original 20s stock which means no showers.
It's not even that. It's all about click through.

I pretty much think all real news articles are completely dead.

Historically, there were always catchy headines in newspapers. But they had some factualality to them, and if not they were trash rags like the National Enquirer, a newspaper sold at grocery checkouts, often explaining how a celebrity was really an alien, or time traveller, or some such.

Real newspapers had to adhere to some standards, and usually ran mostly on sales for revenue.

They sold ads, and classified ads, but they were paid papers, and each paper sold meant more profit, and for advertising revenue.

This meant that if the paper had a headline, but the headline was a lie/untruthful, some people would get upset and demand their money back.

And if this continued, people would stop buying it, because they were paying for it, and who wants to buy something which lies to get sold?!

Beyond that, if the article was poorly written, if the article was poorly researched, many would be annoyed at wasting cash. If the newspaper ended up with a reputation for this, sales would likely drop.

Point is, when paying hard cash for something, people typically demand something of value in return.

Compare that to today, where modern news is like a poster someone stuck on a lamp post. Are you gonna complain, if the free poster is just made up drivel?!

Modern news is this. Nothing you read has any incentive to be true, the only incentive is to get you to click, and look at the ads.

So you do, because OMG! Bad thing happened!

Modern democracies depend upon pillars of society to hold it up, news being one of them.

And news used to serve this purpose, being primarily consumer facing.

And now it's not. Now, it's gone.
Bit OT, a further good idea will be to buy the subscription and support good journalism. I am not being flippant, I believe good journalism needs support.
One of my absolute favourite YouTube channels of all time. Very well presented, truly fascinating topics, and explained in a way even a pleb like me can understand (at least enough to know that I don’t understand shit about the universe, but am still endlessly fascinated by it all).
I first came across this old Chinese curse around 2006 "May you live in interesting times". It took Brexit and a pandemic for me to truly understand its meaning (and probably growing up - both myself and my now teenage children).

Boring is good. Boring is having a reasonable control over your live. Boring is being able to do the things you want, when you want (but within reason). Boring is having the control over my life to be able to do things other than work.

I have the time and freedom now to write and perform comedy, and I have started refereeing adult rugby games. Both of which give me great pleasure.

I think my point here is that you have to have some sort of boringness in your life (or perhaps, stability?) which allows the rest of you to be creative and exciting.
Your vision matches mine pretty much 100%.

If an asset doesn't live exclusively the blockchain, the blockchain can't enforce its ownership. If the blockchain can't enforce its ownership, it doesn't have anything else to offer.

One small corner of potential I still see is running some low-volume Internet services with a blockchain as a backing store. There was a bit of a buzz a few years ago around distributed DNS, and it seems to fit the criteria to me. The asset itself (DNS records) is a tiny set of key-value pairs, so it can feasibly be stored on the blockchain itself. Clients can look up the blockchain directly, if operating a node is cheap enough, or use middleman servers.

I think it's fine technically, but adoption is going to be a problem. On the plus side, the current administration of this centralized resource (ICANN), has its fair share of opponents and critics[0] - of course it is extremely debatable whether an ancap-style decentralized market would be preferrable, nevertheless there is an existing group of unsatisfied users who have reasons to look at alternatives.

And snce adopting an alt-DNS doesn't mean you need to drop your traditional DNS records, there's no real cost to jumping in.

On the other side, clients will only see added value if your site *isn't* available on the ICANN DNS network, and that's a long shot. Worse, you need a 'killer app' of a site to make people switch to a different DNS system, but realistically a site isn't going to grow big enough without being available on the traditional DNS in the first place. You'd need a few major sites to announce that they're pissed off with ICANN (for example due to a high-profile name dispute) and that they're moving to an alternative DNS. Fat chance of that.

To put it more bluntly - if IPv6 is still having trouble with adoption, what chance does decentralized DNS have?

Random thoughts trying to answer your beautiful, passionate post - which I really liked.

1) As others have said, it might be that the company you work at is below average, and you are above average. This might be frustrating in the long term, and cause most of the issues you have listed.

2) I'm 45, you're 42; I sense that you might be going through a period similar to the one I have experienced, where I suddenly didn't have a manager/boss who inspired me, or someone I wanted to be when I got older. Perhaps you need someone to challenge you, either/or your boss, or your co-workers.

3) It might be that you want to stay at this company, and moving to another one is not an option for you. In that case, see that as a powerful, maybe useful, constraint, and work around it. How can you make your job AMAZING, despite you cannot change company, or other things happening in your current role?

4) You write wonderfully, and I would love to read more and more. Maybe you could start a newsletter focused on developers, and that could be a way to find some of the exchange, the challenge, the smartness that you seem to lack now.

5) Want to chat? Ping me on email, we'll chat. Sometimes a stranger can be a little helpful, because he doesn't have any vested interest in influencing the direction of your career.
Rate limiting is a life saving jacket, not some fancy nice-to-have feature.
Reddit has increasingly become an advertisement target. And I don’t mean official, paid ads.

There are some niche communities that are small enough to retain credibility though.

But yes, SEO spam has become really bad. And the the topic you looked at seems to be one of the worst.
Sure you can, and some people do. But when there's no water anymore, everyone lies on the sand... no more swimming!
The reason it's different is the same reason that every flame war on the internet starts - over text, you don't have any social cues, facial expressions, tone of voice, etc to fill in the context. So your brain will fill in the gaps, usually using the worst interpretation possible. It's the road rage effect.
Spoken like someone with low eq.

Intelligence has many forms, athletically gifted, musical, emotional, the list goes on.

Your classical & narrow definition of intelligence is outdated.

To be a true polymath - as is hinted throughout this entire discussion, there's a need to nurture more than ones intellectual prowess.
There are still a few in Europe. Seat61 (predictably) has a guide: https://www.seat61.com/motorail-trains.htm
Why post a Twitter thread with a single useful tweet and rest just name calling?
Your ISP won't give you permission to mess with their CGNAT setup. Your best bet is to get a cheap server with an IPv4 address and do the forwarding yourself.

It is really amazing how people on the internet will call you stupid back when you were a kid when it is completelybout of your control.
I'm often saddened to see how even on this kind of community where the level of discussion is relatively high given the openness of the platform, this kind of cross-country comparison is almost completely forgotten when it debunks so many, possibly even the majority, of arguments made on a host of topics including this one. It isn't helped by the fact that HN, given its roots and SV focus, is very Ameri-centric - ime e.g. Europeans are at least somewhat more likely to consider regional comparisons, though they're still underutilized.

A 20-second search for "obesity rates by country" will show that plastics or other chemicals are very unlikely to play more than a minor role. It's so straightforward, yet there are dozens and dozens of comments above this one with not a single one bringing it up.

In the end, CICO is correct. The question then becomes "why do certain countries have a higher CI" to which the answer is "culture", as with anything to do with human behaviour. But most are very unwilling to point at things about certain cultures that are very clearly negative, something that both mainstream Western political leanings have in common. One of them because they believe their culture is inherently Great (Again?) even if it's sending them to an early deathbed, the other because they believe (or at least outwardly adhere to the dogma) that cultures should not be compared in any kind of positive vs negative way unless it's one they see as a political opponent on the national scale.
Hmm, so are you saying that Twitter API used to render these shows different info than the Twitter UI at twitter.com?
I mean, yes that's stupid, but also makes the site pretty much inaccessible in the first place and I wouldn't put that under an "user interface" complain. That's also not the redesign the op is talking about. (Unless he's using his mobile browser in desktop mode... then he afaik won't run into that restriction and it's a 100% better than the old. desktop version.)
Good qualities we identified in a discussion:

- directional

- many short duration rather than continuous

- sonorous (melodic or consonant)

- amplitude appropriate to time of day and danger

A big mistake we make is confusing "attention", "arresting" and
"annoying" qualities. Dissonant sounds seem like they grab your
"attention" quicker, but that's not necessarily true, it's really
about the spectrum morphology in the first 100ms - those sounds (like
bells) have better localisation qualities - they tend to elicit an
orientation response and have better front-rear ambiguity so we can
position them better. Knowing where an emergency vehicle is, is as
important as just knowing it's there. From video evidence of
interchanges and roundabouts what we see is that the sound of
sustained sweep sirens often creates chaos, with drivers panicking,
pulling on to pavements or making other rash and dangerous sudden
manoeuvres.
In Germany police and emergency vehicles are only allowed to use "Sonderrechte" (special privileges) when using both the lights and the sirens. So if they want to pass a red light or go the wrong way in a one way lane they have to use the sirens. Note that this is not technically a legal requirement as the law grants them a general exemption but the administrative regulations make this mandatory.

That said, I have seen police cars go the wrong way using hazard lights instead of the blue lights (and no sirens) so I'm not sure what the actual consequences for not following these regulations are.
That's starting to happen in different parts of the world. Probably Oslo is a bit ahead of the curve here. Sales of ice vehicles are ending there in 2025 and already less than 20% of overall vehicle sales in Norway. Of course as a city it is a bit provincial compared to bigger cities elsewhere in the world.

Amsterdam is not far behind with electrifying vehicles or outright banning them from the city. Much of the Netherlands is easily reached on a single charge. People moan about battery range regardless. But it's a bit like complaining about the weather. They vote with their wallets in the end. A lot of leased cars for business use are already electric. The value proposition for the leasing companies is just better. And the companies that pay them like being green. It's not really a choice anymore. Privately owned vehicles is a different matter. Mostly these are second hand vehicles and there just aren't a whole lot of second hand EVs yet.

In much of western Europe, it's no longer a given that you will even be able to drive ICE vehicles into cities. Restrictions are coming. And even if it is allowed now, it's not certain to stay that way. People are starting to factor that into their purchasing behavior. Another thing is the second hand value of ice vehicles. What's the value of a second hand ICE car going to be in five years when they will be banned from a growing number of areas?

China is an interesting case. It has hundreds of electrical car companies and mostly they serve the domestic market. Owning and buying ice vehicles there requires permission, which is a lengthy process to get. A few of the bigger manufacturers are starting to become export to Europe and the US this year. Tesla is nice and a clear leader (even in China), but xpeng, nio, and others are not far behind in terms of quality, volume production, etc. And they are coming to foreign markets.

Right now EVs are mostly expensive luxury vehicles. However, there are very few technical limitations that prevent the creation of a 10K$ EV. China has a few on the road. Cheaper than that even; below 5K$ even. Mostly this is just a function of limited battery supply and insatiable demand at the high end. Why sell a 5K$ vehicle when you can sell a 50K$ one? It's like printing money. Not a choice really. Manufacturers will go for the big luxury cars every time. This will change rapidly as more production capacity comes online and the high end market gets saturated.
Maybe the rolling stock itself won't be new - maybe they plan to rebuild old carriages? A few years ago, they could have bought DB's Talgo night trains (probably at bargain price), but now they were apparently scrapped because they didn't manage to find a buyer for several years (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talgo_(Deutsche_Bahn,_1994%E2%... - German)...
Slaughter/suffering free pork cultivated meat
Yeah, IIRC the show runners were contracted to do a star wars movie... They wanted to wrap up GoT and move on to that.

Sadly, I think their failure to finish GoT properly screwed their star wars movie ambition too....

Edit: spelling
Great stuff. What's the best way to update a major version of Postgres when it comes out?
I sold everything when btc hit 23000 man that felt like it was never getting any higher. But then again I remember screaming to my wife in disbelieve when 1 btc was 10€, and then shortly after that 100! So I’m just waiting for a dip below 23000 now. Btw, I like swimming naked.
Why doesn’t it make sense to use your USD based credit card in France? I use both EUR based credit card and my Bitcoin wallet while travelling in Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Panama, and setting up bank accounts in those countries would be infinitely harder.

Regarding hotels and flights, I book it on internet, and I don’t even know which country the travel agencies are located, and I don’t care.
GitHub story in 3D – GitHub Skyline
I never said that my country hasn't done bad things.

I have protested the Tories, and I have always voted against them because I know they are bad people.

I know that the majority of people in the UK have also voted against them and their policies. Your entire point is completely nonsensical.

Where on earth did I do "whataboutism"? You literally said that people cannot be against one invasion because someone else invaded, which they were probably against as well.
You could do that with Ansible or for a few dozens, you could open up tmux tabs and issue same commands to them all.

The problem with cockpit is that it doesn't do anything better than specific tools making it rather useless.
It's difficult to get a good number on the events. The thing is, ground meat in Germany is called "hack". So on another level (that's why it could very well be satire), the charging stations have been "hacked".

Google does not distuingish between both kinds. But vandalism in general is a big problem.
Considering this thread has people complaining about skateboards, the clear answer is “people love cities but not all the people in them”.

I love having access to an international airport, but hate the noisy planes.

I love having local restaurants only a moments walk away but hate the late night loud chatter.

I love all the walking and transit infrastructure but hate the construction noise.

Sorry, but cities are just noisy, even absent cars, power tools. Either live with it or find somewhere else better suited.
Take your GitHub contributions and turn them into 3D.

I think its also a boot time parameter now.
I find there's often a high degree of educated comments here on HN. But, when it comes to monitors, readability and the physics of light something happens. #000 on #fff won't burn out your retinas. :)
Police helicopters are also more heavily used in poorer (and higher crime, but also more heavily policed in general, thus inflating crime statistics) areas of those cities.
I am dead against noisy bikes, but from having an old 1 litre 60bhp Peugeot 106 hatchback car many years ago, the noise of the full-open throttle with your accelerator pedal mashed into the floor with revs rising to a crescendo at the red line etc is certainly quite exhilarating, even if you were not actually going all that fast with 60bhp. (I am getting hairs down my back just typing this).

I would imagine you'd get a similar sensation from the whir/whine of an electric car picking up in pitch etc as you approach "the red line", but I don't know how well that is hushed away in modern EVs
Except not everything is about percentages. It's the same calculation Ballmer (big fan otherwise) did to let windows terminal rot. You need to multiply this with their effectiveness. Are those people looking at ads and making money for reddit directly? Probably 99% of them have adblock and res installed. But those are also likely to be the kind of users who would build bots and extensions for your website and help its growth.
Well, I didn't get past the paywall ...
Yes I have this problem.

I am getting better at doing things, but I quickly become overwhelmed, because those thoughts never stop and instead of doing what I need to do, it's a battle plus all those thoughts I have that feel like I need to spend time thinking them through etc, rather than doing the most basic of things that I need to do.
Amsterdam, insanely narrow streets and scooters riding up and down them all night. Worst city for sleep I’ve ever been in.
Small company? Can also be an enterprise company problem
Generally I prefer a mid-saturation blue-tinted grey in the #111111 horizontal line for my base text colours, which is basically indistinguishable from black but works better with the other hues on our website.

That being said, it's easy using the prefers-contrast CSS property to override that to #000000 for people who are hard of sight.

It's supported by edge, safari, chrome, opera but it's a bit finnicky in Firefox.
Dan Harmon also had Excellent advice for apologizing
Anecdotally I would stop using Reddit if they for rid of old reddit. The new design is shit
On top of all this, let's not forget the lipsync issues.
Pictures for dark and light mode in Markdown
Finally GH supports specifying a different image for dark mode.
It does not make sense (to me) to say that you use dollars to buy a big mac in Paris. You use euros, which your credit card company conveniently bills from you as dollars.
It's great and should be a built-in option - I prefer to minimize the number of plugins but this one is basic usability that will improve the readability of hundreds of thousands of websites.
From the paper: "Throughout the test, the Arm
Cortex-M0+ processor drew an average current from the compact Al-BPV of 1.4 ± 0.4 µA with a voltage of 0.72 ± 0.14 V".
Thanks. I managed to see it as something of a blessing in disguise in the end but it took me a while to get there! Hahaha. Thanks for reading.
> Let me tell you, when someone is blissfully wandering into your lane, or otherwise driving recklessly, having a horn is an essential safety device to let other motorists know of your presence.

What happens when you use it? Do they suddenly start paying attention and stop driving recklessly? I ask, because I've never used my horn whilst driving; I've only ever used it for alerting someone reversing into me whilst I was stationary.

If I see someone drifting into my lane, then I back off by applying the brakes. If someone is swerving, then I also slow down. Generally I slow down or change lanes but I've never used the horn.
Nice, have been using both 'ltrace' and 'strace' for many years on Linux.
If you are using Linux, take a look at the ltrace package that is most likely included with your distro and will work with glibc requiring no recompilation against another libc to use. The ltrace package has been around for many, many years.

If you believe that copying what “top achievers” do will also make you a “top achiever” then I have some bad news for you.
Soo much for writing secure code with rust.
