Yep. The thing that keeps any particular form of life in check are predators. A large amount of plant growth promotes herbivore populations, which promotes carnivore populations. If carnivores or herbivores overeat, they crash their own food supply, causing their own population to decline due to food scarcity. Ecosystems reach a form of homeostasis this way.

Humans have eliminated anything even close to being their predator at any significant scale, except our own behaviour. As a result, we run the risk of exhausting our own food (read: resource) supply.

Ask HN: Is there an updated/new version of TLDP HowTos?
I was looking for a way to "get into Systems Programming" by following some tutorials. A friend of mine, a seasoned systems programmer, recommended just following a few HowTos to get familiar with Linux and some real world know-how.

He forwarded this website: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html.

The HowTos are from between 1995 and 2004. I wonder if there is a newer resource out there which is more related to current implementations I can follow?

Really puts things in perspective again. With even my plans

Just bought new apartment. Was considering adding more surface and some cabinets in kitchen. That is 3+3 cabinets and work surface about 160cm in width. Price 1000€+ plus installation and delivery...

Really does put things in perspective. So much for rather small amount of space and not even any appliances. Just some cupboards with doors...

In the end I will just buy still pretty expensive shelf, for fraction of cost.
Weird; I expected the most high-income kitchens to be either absent or completely unused. Don't nigh income individuals mostly rely on eating out and food delivery? As a digital nomad, I haven't cooked anything even once in most hotels/airbnbs I've lived at during the last 3 months.
No the point of interdependence is when its mutual. If it's about domination then sure you have one country invading another. When there is mutual interdependence then it's a massive disincentive for war.

Such a weird exchange. You used better terminology to explain what I meant ("resource interdependence") but still seem to have a different idea of what my point was.
I've never understood car makers obsession with proximity unlock.

Let's put it this way: I use biometrics for my phone as convenience, but I have it time out in an hour, and require a pattern. (Or, if I put the phone in lockdown.) The security biometrics offer is too weak to trust.

But imagine if the only option you had was face id, and all other options were removed.

Operations like unlocking the door must be explicit, not implicit. I'd accept configurability, but it would be permanently disabled if I could.

Bluetooth has always sucked, but even if Bluetooth is improved, proximity unlock is brain dead for security.
Those studies didn’t happen in a vacuum. Imagine your company loses out on some big contract because when the some-women board shows up the all-men board at the other company’s unexamined prejudices kick in and they “just have a bad feeling about that company”. Or maybe it’s that the male faction of the board undervalues the female board members input and it’s functionally like having a smaller board. Those are kinda cartoonish examples of what I’m talking about when I say “cultural forces” - there may be all kinds of hard to quantify hard to control for effects at work. But if those effects would go away if the cultural stereotypes and biases went away, then maybe a law like that would push a skewed system towards one that provides equal opportunity for everyone
It's not a matter of "typically". A certain political side is pushing to define "discrimination" to apply only against certain groups.

That use is not typical especially when you consider history and the fact that it still differs from the view of the constitution. Moreover it strikes me as disingenuous (like the Soviets calling Western news disinformatzya).

Where does discrimination have a positive meaning?

I am pretty sure that the folks who are against this law will also be against it if you call it "affirmative action" or "positive discrimination" once you explain the meaning to them. From a meritocratic, humanistic, democratic perspective it is just morally wrong however you spin it.
That’s really just more evidence to support the theory and is in no way exculpatory.

Canada does not currently have a viable immigration model for non-dependents immigration. The Parents-Grandparents stream takes 30,000 applications a year through a lottery system because demand is so high. So it could take many years before you get to bring your parents.

I'd never heard that, but it sounds to me like the other side of the same coin regarding what's commonly said of men: that they delay going to the doctor for too long as symptoms progress, or even don't go at all unless insisted upon.

It could be that, on average, doctors become accustomed to the idea that when a man visits them it must be very serious, and therefore when they are visited by women they generally display milder or less obvious signs and symptoms by comparison (again, on average). Hence, doctors may get the impression that women are more hypochondriac than men when the fact of the matter is actually the inverse.

> Well, eventually they didn't succeed at hiring a manager and designated me

A sufficiently senior IC should help interview and attract management talent into a company. You need to consider it part of your job to hire a manager to take the ICs who get assigned to you.

I get the sense you're grey haired, and people look at you as a management option based on age and experience. Again, treat it as a core responsibility to help hire managers.
I really like the count prefixed strings, and will be adding it to my grow set of C stuff I'm gathering. My ultimate goal is to have something that does reference counted, count prefixed, null terminated strings, like Free Pascal.

And it annoys me because not only are they usually annoyed when they call, but somehow its my problem. There is a reason why I am on backend. I don't like dealing with users.

GNUlib [1], albeit marketed as a "portability library", in fact shares a lot of that goal and includes data structure implementation, OS interfaces, etc. A couple of excerpts from the docs:

* "Gnulib is intended to be the canonical source for most of the important “portability” and/or common files for GNU projects. These are files intended to be shared at the source level" [3]

* "We develop and maintain a testsuite for Gnulib. The goal is to have a 100% firm interface so that maintainers can feel free to update to the code in git at any time and know that their application will not break." [3]

Sure, but then you’re replacing that with assuming the government is making the optimal decision and not being bogged down by biases or politically expedient self-serving moves.

Given that the feedback loop for government actions is slow and often time indirect, I’m not sure the government is making the best decision either.
Explaining why something is bad is still necessary if you rely on automated code review. Clippy does this, with specific codes for specific (potential) problems that the linter catches. You can learn a lot about patterns in Rust by just reading through the bad patterns and read their suggested alternatives.

It is conceptually very simple to maintain a currency peg: just store 100% of reserves in the currency that you want to maintain the peg to, and promise to honor redemptions from those reserves at any time.

What you describe as "difficult" is what Terra/Luna tried to achieve: maintain a peg without keeping 100% of your reserves in the pegged currency. That is what nation states also do, which is why even they can easily fail. But that is not what USDT or USDC proclaim to do. They proclaim to implement the "simple" variant. If that is actually true (for which there are some doubts in the case of USDT, but let's just assume for the sake of discussion that Tether is truthful) they shouldn't have a hard time doing what they plan to do.

How can someone not eat anything by his own will for more than a few days ? (5-7 max) you should pass out.
Also in the case that were true, let me be clear: No food intake for multiple days is extremely dangerous for your health, it will upregulate autophagy, apoptosis and will break your mitochondria bioenegetics which will explode your oxidative stress (and therefore DNA breaks) and will induce partial ischemia/hypoxia/hypoglycemia which leads to an accelerated ageing process.
Autophagy is nice, in little dose, and is best emulated pharmacologically (e.g. via some polyphenols)

> You don't need to be a strong manly man to drive a fire truck …

It helps if you’re going to be doing literally anything other than just driving the apparatus.

Also, why should men be relegated to the most dangerous jobs, just so that we can fill a female hiring quota by giving women the safer, less demanding jobs?

> … nor to use hoses.

You absolutely need to be built to man a firehose.

It takes your full weight and strength to keep control of a hose with the diameters and pressures used in firefighting.

With a 2.5”+ hose, it can take two full-grown men to keep control of the line with the nozzle open, especially when advancing.

Nevermind hauling a charged line into a building, up stairs, etc. The weight alone is tremendous.

> I mean, somehow women are strong enough to be lifting patients in a nursing home

Male staffers are generally asked to do the lifting, and sometimes medical services literally call in the fire department for a lift assist.

> … but not helping folks out in a fire?

The structure gear alone weighs about 70 pounds. By the time you find someone in a building, you’ve been using a heavy tools, in the heat, to sound floors and search rooms rapidly in the most exhausting way possible.

It’s so much more difficult than just lifting someone without all the gear on.

There’s also forced entry into doors, etc, which benefits substantially from weight, leverage, and upper body strength.

> I doubt this.

Only because you know nothing about firefighting.

I'm also on Vyvanse, 60mg in the morning and 100mg of Wellbutrin which is an anti depressant, that targets the same brain chemicals as Vyvanse.

Vyvanse, helped but my depression often cancelled out the med, and SSRIs didn't help at all just made me have erectile issues which really didn't help my depression.

I brought up Wellbutrin with my doctor after reading about others with ADHD being successful with it...

I found out I had ADHD 4 years ago when I was 38, I'm almost certain I also have autism, as 3 people with ASD have flat out told me I did, and they listed a bunch of reasons and I passed a few online tests...I also over share a lot as you can see from this post.
This. All nations have followed a population curve and with increased education and social mobility, the birth rate drops. It was only a couple of generations ago here in the UK that people had large families, and another couple of generations before that that women were allowed to vote.

Reading general comments on the web about the likes of the UK only have a tiny part to play and it being 'almost pointless' to combat climate change and conservation (vs larger population countries) seem to forget we've been industrialised and polluting for a quarter of a millenia. On the same token, the technology acquired over that time can solve the problem.

Overshoot day is a good reminder that we're still living above our means.
I believe the argument would be that social media exacerbates the problem.
Do we really know where potholes are though, I would think not. I mean when you drive over it you know, hey pothole here, and probably people know hey this stretch of road is badly maintained but unless you have an accurate map of where each pothole is then it follows what you do is to select a stretch of road and say we will go down this stretch and fix it this month.

Which would seem inefficient if you had a cheap way of amassing exact data on where precisely all the potholes actually are.
Hot take: I read what other people sre doing on HN and I feel like I'm an utterly mediocre dev who's just pushing features at work to make someone rich, and I can't do much about it because I have a family relying on my income.
If everyone lived like people from the year 1910, we'd all have long since starved to death. If we lived like people from the 1950s, food would cost far, far more than it does today.

The Haber process and modern agriculture feed us all, and cheaply. We get five times more milk per cow and eight times more corn per acre than we did a century ago. We synthesize fertilizer out of thin air instead of scraping bird shit off of remote islands.

On top of that, human fertility rates have dropped far, far below replacement in substantial parts of the world, and when the developing world is developed, I suspect they also will see declining population. Each person needs slightly more than one child for us to have a stable population. So, a fertility rate of ~2.1 (2 children per woman). In the US it's 1.7, in Germany it's 1.54, in Japan it's 1.36, and in Korea it's 0.94. China: 1.7, Brazil: 1.72, India: 2.2 (just above replacement, and dropping)

We can outsmart, and have repeatedly outsmarted, all sorts of potential disasters.

We can't ignore our problems, but neither have we met with any sort of defeat.

Instead of discussing imputed attitudes or motives, since the Norway law is already 16 years old, why not look at actual studies of quantitative results on company performance? (by company size, sector, age etc.)

This isn't a particularly clever argument.

It is trivially easy to maintain a currency peg. I could issue one hncoin tomorrow, peg it at a dollar, and hold a dollar in escrow and my coin is pegged.

It'd hard for governments because they have to manage an economy and politics either their currency. Stable coins could end up fitting the same description but not a of them do. If they choose to just peg peg coin with reserves of the underlying and make exchange easy the peg will stick.

The comparison to a government is irrelevant though.

in that case you go with certain providers based on coverage vs price.

While I am sure the process has limitations, I think that modern Windows has some amount of flexibility there, because due to a defect I've recently had to swap out my mainboard + CPU, and the system booted up just fine. The most major issue was that with the default drivers Windows had reverted to, the Ethernet controller didn't work, which could have been a little bit of a Catch-22 (no internet without the correct drivers, and no correct drivers without internet), but in practice I just downloaded the drivers on a different device and transferred them over via USB.

It makes sense that they adapt the menu slightly for each demographic. Also that they need to source meat etc in a competitive way, not from across another continent so just by that mere fact it may be slightly better (I think I'm not mistaken that US has really refined meat production to the extreme...).
I don't quite get this. Was it not blatantly obvious to everybody that Nvidia's sales were largely driven by cryptominers? Did they specifically market to cryptominers and lie about that or something? I don't quite get what they did wrong.

What's also baffling to me is how their share price is taking a nosedive because of this news. Any investor should know about this. And $5 million fine doesn't sound like enough to hurt the company that much.

But if it's true that they misled investors, does that mean that investors can get their money back or something? It seems like any investor who wasn't aware of this is now screwed twice.
