I just want to add to the parent comment which I 100% agree with.

I have struggled with anxiety and fear-avoidance for a long time. Probably most of my adult life. It got to the point where I had to find external help in the form of a therapist. She specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy, which helped me take those first couple of steps. I got better after about 12 months of therapy, but felt like there was something missing in the CBT solution to the anxiety problem.

What really put things in a totally different gear was realising that the voice telling you to avoid, to put off, to cower and run from things, is just a voice. That voice feels like _you_, but it's not you. The voice is sometimes correct. Sometimes it's not. A part of CBT is questioning the unproductive thoughts and feelings, which helps, but it doesn't take this idea of "the voice being just a voice" to its conclusion. Just because you have a thought or a feeling does not mean you should take it literally, as the truth.

ACT, which I discovered by accident shortly after my epiphany, gets to the heart of it with defusion (de-fusing the internal chatter from your rational self) and five other core ideas. For me personally, the idea and practise of defusion was a core component in helping me deal with crippling anxiety. It requires work, but it's possible to feel great in the presence of _some_ anxiety and fear. It's possible to look forward to things which would normally make you anxious and avoidant.

Another book recommendation "A Liberated Mind" by Steven Hayes. I suggest reading a book or two and try to internalise these ideas through practise. No HN comment can provide the nuance and context you'll find in a book and through practise.
> three big problems with economics at least the way it is popularly understood

The popular understanding of economics has very little to do with economics.
Yep. Quick and dirty you could alert on large or slow queries, and check the logs periodically. I know it’s probably not effective but I grep logs and watch the terminal looking for aberrant shapes. I believe AWS offers a ML solution to watch your infra and alert for things that are out of the usual, and I’m sure (haven’t built it, but talked to people that worked in the systems) the big companies have sophisticated systems looking for threats that use everything above and far more.
CoW (copy-on-write), deduplication of data blocks, replicas (RAID equivalent), file system snapshots and multiple, tiered caching layers, plus several other features.

On a sidenote, I integrated bcachefs as a vmx driver into VMWare ESXi for a CI/CD build server a few years back. The build system ran in VMs and on containers, but the non-essential target directories sat on bcachefs volumes with the caching layer directed first at RAM, then at SSD, then finally at the HDD. Managing all the Unity3D and Unreal caches was amazingly fast across dozens of different SKUs of what the same project.

From my project write-up on my LinkedIn:

Bcache-like caching layer for VMWare ESXi

Reduce latency and read/write delay even if using SSD as your storage.
Written in C and inserting itself as a storage tier into VMWare ESXi to handle read & write storage requests this caching system accelerates all accesses to the underlying backing store.
Can work in both write-back and write-through caching modes. (Native C kernel device driver)
Using C compilers written in C++, yeah really difficult to escape C.

Windows has been migrating into C++ since Windows Vista, when VC++ introduced kernel support. Its C universal runtime is written in C++ with extern "C" entry points. Ah and then there is COM/WinRT, also mostly about C++ and .NET, even if the ABI is compatible with C (for masochists).

macOS uses C++ for drivers, a kernel without drivers isn't of much use.

Speaking of which, in Android all drivers written using Project Treble (required as of Android 8) are either C++ or Java based, and now Rust is also into the picture. The only C is the "classical" Linux upstream stuff.
Pumped hydro if geography permits is very good storage method. Efficiency is not horrible, it is simple to ramp up and down. Technology is extremely mature. It scales pretty well. And as final bonus in some cases it can contribute to grid stability.
This is the stated job of the Fed: to balance inflation concerns with employment concerns. Inflation is at 40 year highs and unemployment is at 40 year lows. It's not exactly a hard choice.

And I say this as someone who leans far against fed apologism.
I think your main issue is that the NaCl doesn't come out in a pure crystalline form. It's a higher concentrated brine but still contains an awful lot of water.
It’s is still far from true general intelligence.
> how does Rosettafied code call system library routines?

(I have no specific knowledge about how Rosetta works)

x86 code (translated or not) needs to call into system libraries with the x86 calling convention. The easiest way would be to have the x86 system libraries, and translate those too, although someone mentioned they're included as pre-translated cache files.

System calls (typically made from libc) in x86 will trap into the kernel, but I'd assume the CPU will run the kernel handler in ARM mode... probably? a different handler address for ARM and x86, but either way, some method to determine which type of cpu and use the appropriate syscall numbers and structures depending on the type. It's possible, but I'd think unlikely, that Apple made all the syscalls the same across both architectures, down to the width and alignment of all of the structs.
LoL is actually a slower game. in CSGO ping is even more important.

Do you have any evidence Render actually takes security seriously?

Frankly I'd sleep much better with a great but dumb AI onion cutter in my kitchen than with one that does who knows what during the night. There are already billions of humans that can surprise me sometimes in unpleasant ways. No need to add artificial beings to the list. That said, true strong AI would be a wonderful achievement (/understatement) but I'm happy with useful partial results, like a 787 or a bird sized drone compare to an actual artificial pterodactyl or pigeon.

It's true and absolutely makes sense. I think social media is the bane of mankind.
It’s not possible to measure developer productivity, but “developer hertz” is still tied to commit count so not ideal. This is a problem I think is important enough to deserve a metric to measure the rate at which a repo evolves (emphasis on updating legacy code). When GitClear started building Line Impact 5 years ago (free as of 6 months ago) our hope was that someday devs would pick a metric that’s better than commit count, and one that prioritizes dev-control of long term data (as GC does). If GitClear sounds familiar prob because we also support open source projects like libinput, but eventually we hope to be known as the dev-centric metric provider
I wonder if the additional processing affects fatigue at all?
My wife works at AWS (for the last ~5 years) and has generally loved being there. She says the parent post has truths (people write documents), and a lot of exaggerations.

So if that was the _only_ anecdote that made you rethink, hopefully this is a second anecdote that helps you make a choice!

(side note: If you dislike working with Indians it can be a terrible place, a good number of her colleagues have been Indians (she is one as well).)
I've encountered this twice in my life. The first time it was during a midterm where I studied 100 problems in an obscure topic, and it so happen that the midterm was one such problem. The second was even more ridiculous, it was during a job interview where I googled "XYZ interview questions" for each technology listed in the job description. 95% of my questions were from the top 10 search results lol.
This device was discussed earlier on HN and that article goes a little further into the design decisions for the device. (1) The focus is not efficiency or volume. It's compact, portable, robust, maintenance free. No filters, no high pressure components, suitcase size, able to use brackish water. They are not trying to solve industrial scale efficient desalination. They are trying to solve small scale portable desalination. You are measuring them against metrics they're not trying to achieve and it's no surprising they fail at this test.

Thanks for commenting.

Are you suggesting 25% is insignificant, or simply insufficient to claim causation?

What threshold would be meaningful in your opinion?

To clarify, the researchers believe 25% is a conservative estimate.
Nietzsche was hotly anticipated in academic circles, before he published The Birth of Tragedy.

There are a lot of ways to show promise in academia long before your first book.
Do you think a super simple first level could give a wrong impression about the game (e.g., chain reactions cannot occur)? Maybe players might stop playing after this wrong impression?
Have one too. Love the feel of writing on it. I came from a graphics tablet and surface go 2. I like it for drawing wire prototypes of apps/mechanical designs just for conceptualizing.
This comment should be at the top. If someone had asked me, who grew up in the Republic, what the Northern Irish flag was that would have been my answer.
That's incorrect.

We just had an election, 35/90 assembly seats went to Nationalist (NI should not exist) candidates, the rest went either to Unionist (NI should remain part of the UK) or 'Other' (there are more important things to worry about) candidates.

Unionism is still the biggest designation in Stormont.
I have looked a little bit into it. The problem is that grey scale requires flashing the area on and off a lot, so it's quite visibly disturbing. My idea was to first draw the character in fast mode, then if it hadn't been touched for a while update it in grey scale mode. I haven't tried implementing this yet, but it might work if the blinking isn't too disruptive. Having syntax highlighting would definitely be nice, other ways of getting it I've though about is getting my editor to use fonts for highlighting instead of color.
One is fed with such a respect and submission to medicine, doctors, and surgeons that oftentimes follows the straight path to a surgical procedure. They don't care about your well being, look, or health - they tick off a procedure, collect money, or experience required for the next level of specialization. It terrifies me that someday perhaps I will again need a help of these cunts.
Since nobody has mentioned it yet, KOReader is an open source reader application for ereaders, kindles & others, and has the ability to reflow PDF's. While not perfect, it can work good enough to read well formatted PDF's.
I think I was one of few people not disappointed by NMS, I have it on Playstation. I just saw it come up on the store, it looked like something I'd like and bought it and I was pretty happy with it. I had no idea about all the press around it. I still play it on and off. I hardly ever play anything multiplayer, I was just enjoying flying around all the planets.
Yes, but the website owner can change its source code at any time, and even serve differently JS for each user, puting the entire responsibility on the user shoulder to check the code behavior all the time.

It's not as demanding with an open source app with distributed source code and versioning.

So I don't understand the snark, and how it is helpful.

Interesting context thanks!

> A process can submit commands to be run by the shell that spawned it – actually MS-DOS COMMAND.COM also had that feature (INT 2E), but I haven't seen anything else with it. A Unix shell could implement this by creating a Unix domain socket, and passing its path to subprocesses via an environment variable–but I've never seen that done.

What would you use it for? How is that superior to simply spawning a new shell process?
it's DoE, doe...
I don't know how your university classes were taught, but in the liberal arts courses I took that would have been a huge no-no. Citations aren't just for direct quotations, they're for any and all ideas.

Which means that pretty much any factual claim you make needs a citation, any third party interpretations require a citation, and if your essay is just a laundry list of citations, you failed to actually write an essay.
I wonder how often people are monitoring these things. If the photopea author decided to start collecting people's images, how soon would people catch on?

And on the flip side, if the main Gimp author releases a binary that is different from the one built from source, how fast would people notice?

>I use it to stream applications/webpages with my partner when we’re apart so we can watch a movie together by creating a high res vid/stereo audio input with no noise cancelling as the movie, then have her and I connect as lower quality, mono+noise cancelling participants.

Ohh, shared media watch is still such a mess right now, and it would have been so amazing in the peak of the pandemic. Replying so I can find this in the future.
Same goes for open source builds, you have to either build it yourself or trust the supplied builds.
I always see people saying these kind of thing about Amazon, but personally, I don't think this is the case. I think there is actual technical reason why Amazon don't adapt EPUB natively (the Kindle Direct Publishing accept EPUB as input for ages).

EPUB has a lot of features. A lot. I don't think anything (except maybe Adobe Digital Edition) support everything. I actually just realised yesterday that Moon Reader+, one of the best epub reader for Android, doesn't support vertical-rl layout (mostly used in Japanese book).

Even Kobo doesn't use EPUB as-is. Its native format is KEPUB, which has tons of id-tagged <span> inside the content. Moreover, KEPUB and EPUB on Kobo use different renderer (EPUB use RMSDK, KEPUB use Kobo's own) with different supported features. Isn't this a mess?

The new KFX format has one major advantage over EPUB. The images can be stored out-of-band. This allows you to start reading image-heavy book quickly, while images continue to load in the background. For fixed layout magazine/comic/manga where the entire file can be 100MB or more, this helps a lot.
> My understanding is that the Irish motherland has always been wary of outright reunification.
If it’s going to be shitshow, the Irish government would rather it be the UK’s shitshow.

The government and people of Ireland are not the same. The government may have intense reservations about taking on a place guaranteed to need huge subsidies for decades at best. Doesn’t mean the people won’t vote for unification. More’s the pity.
So, we're talking about entirely different groups of users then, there's no wonder that we're talking past each other, and that you're missing everything innovative about this new line of tools.

> No, they do not. Not every user around the world has this demand. Most user don't have this demand. We are talking here about a minority of quite special usecases. Most people are not even able to mange their own files, and you mean they will use a complex knowledge-management-system?

There I have to strongly disagree. There's a whole academic field of study, End-User Development, dedicated to prove that idea wrong. Every computer user I know is able to use spreadsheets to create their own data types tailored for their domain-specific use cases, some times quite complex ones. That they can't use scripting languages is a failure of those languages, not of users.

And yes, users are able to handle complex knowledge management systems when they're built from the ground up with the right models, instead of relying on arcane legacy metaphors from the 1960s, such as hierarchical filesystems - which are good for developers, not so much for end users. Our knowledge about digital content organization has evolved a lot since those early pioneer times.

With the proper tools, of course they'll be able to create new software artifacts, which of course they want and need - the same way they want and use new apps built by others. If they could create those themselves, why wouldn't they build their own?

> Many? What? This is also a kind of scripting, and there is an endless amount of tools enabling people to do that style of scripting.

True, but you're missing out the possibility of enabling people to create automation without any scripting at all. There aren't many tools for that other than spreadsheets, which have bad integration with the rest of the computing environment.

>Wikis and databases have a long history of scripting in the knowledge managment-space. The likes of obsidian are just the next iteration, there are not fundamentally new.

I recommend you to learn about End-User Development,[1] to see all the ways these tools can be expanded beyond classic scripting, to see what you're missing out, that other people in this thread are aware and you're not. The end-user computing landscape is going very soon to be transformed, flooded with the kind of tools that end users can build for themselves, for the very same reason that the "VBA and MS Office plugins garbage" are still around; just this time, we finally have a chance to create a way better platform for those tools, which doesn't rely on outdated plugins and low-powered scripting languages.

"Watch what I do"[2] and "Your wish is my command" [3] are the seminal works with loots of good examples. They're a bit dated, but some of their best methods have still not found their way to practical common-use tools (but modern outliners could change that very soon).

The only thing that's not supposed to be cited in a scholarly essay is original, by-the-author interpretation, analysis, and argument. If you're describing a summary of something, that absolutely needs a citation.
> Do we really need expensive desalination in California? Domestic water use only accounts for 20% of demand and desalination seems unlikely to ever be cheap enough for agricultural use (the remaining 80%.)

If you like to eat, yes, you do. I still cannot fathom what distorted minds most transplants possess: California was and is an Ag state, it;s a fundamental part of it's culture it also feeds most of the US with its produce/fruit and exports it's surplus all around the World in surplus commodities.

Yes, stricter water preserving techniques are required for Ag, this recent budget surplus should go towards that as well as desalination to replenish aquifers and reservoirs/quarries after decades of an unsustainable population growth. This recent COVID exodus needs to go on for decades for the population to just return to the norms of the 70-80s.

You guys that write this kind of misinformed responses are so delusional, you cannot eat apps or drink code when you're hungry: and I can assure you will be the first to break when you haven't been fed for a few days or have to ration food/water since you've been accustomed to a lifestyle that simply doesn't reflect reality. And I highly doubt you can do any level of manual labour in order to feed yourself, either.

Get real, water conservation methods all around needs to be enforced BY EVERYONE! AG is guilty of exploiting loopholes when CA water laws were written to serve prospectors, and they should be taxed for over-useage and incentivize them with grants to utilize drip irrigation systems etc... but if you really want to solve this issue, which most of you won't agree to, is remove Farm subsidies: this will force farmers to cut down on these practices to make alfalfa or soy in the Central Valley for export to China that is only profitable because the State subsidies this horrific business model, it in turn will make food get even more expensive, which if you look at it in terms of net income is the historical norm: ~15% of total net income [0].

Food security is a matter of national security for a reason, it's used as a reliable weapon in warfare and has been a reason why most of humanity has gone to war in the first place, and if you like to keep civilization operating it's absolutely critical.

Well, Biden's legislative climate agenda has collapsed. They have to scrape together whatever money they can from existing budgets.

Also, the idea is really to give private actors just enough money and support to get them going:

"Funding should not just support technology field testing but also allow developers to better understand the critical commercial side, “helping formulate the market mechanisms that are going to enable long-duration storage to survive and prosper on the grid.”"

Whether it's true or not, economists like to claim that there's a multiplier effect in cases like this, where every $1 if public investment creates >$10 of private investment.

Netflix pays cash so engineer comp is fairly insulated from market fluctuations. In the past few years, that may have seemed like a negative, but right now it’s a blessing.
Market value fluctuations aren't the same thing as profit or even revenue. A company doesn't suddenly lose money and have to lay people off due to others trading its stock for less money. And they don't get rich when the stock price goes up, either. Unless they sell more shares in a secondary public offering or similar, their cash flows stay the same.

The effect is much more subtle and it has more of an impact on companies where equity is a big part of employee compensation.
