> For what it's worth, my take on it is that you should extract whatever bits of pure functions you can find in the 1000-line ones.

Do these bits of pure functions appear anywhere else in the code? If so, sure, I happily pull them out into their own functions.

If not, I will leave them exactly where they are. It's easier to read a laundry list than to look up many different parts in isolation without context.

As for testability: If some bit of code only appears in that one long laundry-list function, what do I gain by testing it outside of that context?
This is factually incorrect.

First, the countries you mention included Germany and Japan, which, during World War 2 were both fascist states.

Second, the USSR in conjunction with Nazi Germany invaded Poland and together kicked off World War 2 - the USSR was a reluctant ally only to defeat a greater evil. Both regimes were outright evil.

Third, colonial expansion was primarily done under monarchist governments.

Fourth, if you want to (incorrectly) say that the US, UK, Germany, etc. and capitalist economic systems have the same feature of 'deaths of tens of millions of people" then you also would have to take into account that capitalist economies have also prevented the deaths of millions, provided the world with vaccines and breakthrough medical treatments, helped get us to the moon, and improved living standards for many billions of people. Communism did none of that over the long-term. Even Communist China has come around to support capitalism.

Finally, the debate among anyone serious, and I do mean exactly that, isn't capitalism + free markets versus something else, but instead it's to what degree should a government be involved in the market. Capitalism is so obviously superior that it's difficult for anyone to bring about an improved economic system based on the human condition up to this point. Frankly, communism is a failed ideology at the nation-state level and it has been outcompeted by capitalist economies, which is why it doesn't exist except by violent force, and in those limited cases it is dwarfed in wealth, effectiveness, and benefit by all but the worst capitalist economies.
Netherlands : https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therapie#Wetgeving (in Dutch) :

"With the exception of some therapeutic professions, the term therapist is unprotected in the Netherlands and Belgium."
Your response seemed reasonable, and I was nodding along until the last paragraph. I get the impression you had your mind made up about video games and intelligence long before this study was published.
Are we still doing this? Antisemitism was the norm among intellectuals before WW2. Check out what Marx had to say.
It's profitable to launch new stablecoins.
No doubt, there are a lot of brilliant minds at work in this space and I hope it becomes more mainstream.

I'm still a bit of a skeptic though when it comes to anything other than Bitcoin and tend to believe that it's all just a liquidity game and if you can maintain the illusion of USD liquidity, you will keep the ball rolling and rake in a lot of money. Ultimately they do it so they can exchange their coin for USD, or maybe buy real estate, etc.
Both. And yes, true, but issue management is entirely via email and mailing lists a la savannah et al. There's no real way to interact with things from the site aside from looking at them. This is a huge hindrance to many users who are not familiar with the more classic way of working. It is certainly NOT a drop-in replacement for GitHub in most cases.
I've been doing a lot of ML training, particularly when my office is cold. Kills two birds with one stone.
Nope. You can look at my profile to see that I don't "avoid mentioning" my faith. At the same time, I don't like to wave it around everwhere either. Just didn't think it was relevant to the point being discussed. I'm on a few groups where non Muslims tried out the fast (physical and intellectual) and had positive results so I wanted to emphasise that rather than ramadhan itself.
Meanwhile my family's barely travelled the past three years due to Covid concerns, tighter budgets (wife's income got severely impacted from the pandemic for a while, while this year we had to unexpectedly pay a good vacation's worth of taxes), and having to use PTO for other unrelated things. Most I've done is a few weekend trips to neighboring states.
It's more spread out than Vancouver, and might be a nuisance if you live in the downtown core.

You're not gonna personally get yelled at/followed every week, but confrontations are not rare. I know several people including myself who have experienced it a few times.

There's a huge, poorly addressed mental health issue in Ontario, and downtown Toronto concentrates a lot of that.

Tangent: Coming from a third world country, homelessness in North America has a huge contrast with South America: my own anecdata is that mental health issues among the homeless are more common in NA and they're very irate and confrontational. I often wonder why there's such a contrast.
Oh, I couldn’t care less, personally. It means nothing to me. I lost nothing because I assume essentially all crypto is a scam. I was honestly curious if there is any reason to assume this wasn’t just another scam.
It's amazing the researchers forgot to include categories like apps. The apps my 3 year old son used is Pokpok, YouTube and an iOS app I develop specifically for him since he's on the non-verbal ASD spectrum.

I believe this research is severely lacking.

USDC is over-collateralized by cash and US government securities. There is a difference between centralized (at least) 1:1 tokens backed by dollars, and "decentralized" algo-stablecoins that use convoluted exchange mechanisms and often lose their peg.

You can deposit USDC at Coinbase, circle, other exchanges and get cash easily.
The idea is if you can spend money on a bomb, you have some money that flows through a production chain, giving people employment, and at the end you get an item (the bomb) and you destroy it. It would be strictly better if you did anything else with the money, that resulted in the same employment spending but you'd have less value left at the end to destroy. But say that you live in a militarized society where it's easy to agree to fund bombs but very hard to agree to fund social services. Then the bomb may be your only option, and it's still better for your economy to build the bomb than not.

It's the broken-window effect, if your political system is captured by a glassmakers' lobby.
IIRC to redeem you need a minimum of 100,000 USDT. So being a little off the peg still loses a bunch of "retail" investors money.
Would you mind sharing how you could have changed the price if you could have? There are also options like GitlabHost[0] that might have worked

Go on then, what is the fix?
I'll add my own experience:

I call it the ADD-anxiety-depression circle. Can't do what needs to be done -> anxiety about it and just everything -> depression because it's all too much -> can't do what needs to be done -> repeat ad infinitum.

I found that I must fix all three of them at the same time, because any of them can trigger the others very fast.

No anxiety? Skip straight to depression. No depression? Still can't do shit and am always anxious. No ADD (am doing everything)? Things are objectively great yet I feel anxious and depressed. It's a horrible cycle that only gets worse.
Part of it is luck in how my RSUs got priced in and stock appreciation. I won't make anywhere near that this year because of how poor the market has done. It'll still be over 400k though.

The coin will compensate you by removing your wealth so you avoid tax by not having any.

Anyway: You will lose either by the tax agencies finding out (when you actually try to buy stuff) or this way.
Interesting. Here in Germany you need to be a part of some special guild or something to call yourself a therapist
That’s an interesting point. It might indeed have made a difference what they did with it… at least for a little while.
See my comment just above yours, concerning "incorporation by reference" (with a link).
Nibbles and Gorillas weren't on the C64 back then. They were on PCs, which Commodore did make a few of.
We're currently working on v2 with the goal to reduce that complexity. Goal is to make it easier to run a single binary, like you mentioned using Docker. Documentation for this is currently WIP - should be out end of May.
Did you notice the "read only sites" part? MITM is hardly relevant for those.

Problems with my SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt)
Hi!
I recently launched the mvp of my startup (planodi.com), I thought that my ssl certificate (I'm using let's encrypt) was working fine, even several users have already registered without any problem. If I visit my page I see the lock in the navigation bar of the browser.
My surprise was when yesterday a customer sent me a picture of the browser with the text "https" crossed out and in red with a warning "not secure".

Has anyone had a similar problem? any recommendations on how to solve it?
Ask shia labeouf.
When it comes to dnssec, the keys are handed down through the same layer of delegation that gives you your nameservers. This is out of Cloudflare's hands as well, you have bad data up through the registry and out to (your tld's) root nameservers. Just like changes to your NS record delegation don't take immediate effect, these keys don't take immediate effect either.

It's still pretty early days for DNSSEC, if you're going to use it it's worthwhile to know a lot about it. Just look at the several Slack outages caused by their attempts to implement it. Eventually the tooling will catch up, and registrars will all give you warnings about moving DNS and registration and the importance of syncing up your keys but we just aren't there yet.
Be very careful, especially with taking too low of a dose. If you take too little too often, you can build ultra sensitivity to dopamine.
> I do miss the diversity of computing from back then

I’ve thought about this for a while. All sorts of different architectures, companies, protocol, etc. whereas computing seems to be a massive monoculture now. We basically only have a handful of operating systems, most of which are based off something from decades ago, basically only two architectures still succeeded and one of them just seems to be hacks piled on top of hacks, etc.

I get that there’s a reason certain stuff won out, but it’s just boring to me personally.

Even compared to not that long ago, I look at PC cases from 10-15 years ago and see a ton of cool and unique designs, anything from recent times seems to be reduced to “white or black case with flashy lights”.
It's not out yet, but you might want to consider Project Cambria when it comes out. Its upgrades are specifically intended for remote working and productivity. Granted that doesn't help you right now.

What's annoying to me as an NVDA investor is that I still don't have that information. Or maybe it can be found somewhere else?
Gotty can already do that
Yes, because if they made less money, it wouldn't help me at all (it could even hurt me because then they have nothing to share). In difficult personal situations, it has often helped me to know that at least others have it better.
1) look for some psychotherapy. Really. You'll read a lot of advice everywhere, people in very good-faith sharing what worked to them, but you'll spend a lot of time experimenting to check what works best to you. A good therapist will speed up this process a lot.

2) now, my piece of advice, which worked well to me: read The War of Art from Steven Pressfield. Forget the criticism about his religious tone -- people doing them didn't read past the second part. There's something really interesting in the act of "personalizing" procrastination. It seems it makes it more tangible, approachable, avoidable, I don't know. It was cheap last time I saw, give it a try.
> Today you can present data impartially, or emotionally. Emotional narrative gives a million clicks, a million shares, and drives extreme "engagement" that is a hair's breadth away from mob mentality. You can also present data impartially, which drives little more than a more informed society. It's not a surprise which path we take.

You also forgot the part where it's not in any of their interests to produce anything impartial. 100% of it is propaganda for someone or another, even the stuff pretending to be "impartial."
Europeans' data shared 376 times daily in advertising sales, report says

> it makes me feel... good?

it doesn't in general.

and that "good feeling" is mostly a lie, something we tell ourselves, because of our education, if our education was not biased by some made-up belief, we should feel nothing, not good, not bad, because we should not care about it. What other people do with their lives - in reality - has no impact on our life at all.

But we were all thought to poject. Unfortunately people mostly project their frustrations on others.

The only way to actually feel good about something that people share, it's to share it, like in person, in real life, not passively receive it on a screen.

If watching a screen full of "good news" would actually improve people's mood, it would be recommended by WHO like with vaccines.
That was a lifetime ago, and people still bring it up. All it demonstrates is that growth can go on for a bit. Can it actually go indefinitely? So far that we don't even need to care?

Ehrlich might have been way too early but still have something interesting to say.
I have noticed that a lot of the 80s and 90s computer nostalgia guys on youtube are a lot younger looking than I would expect. I feel like it is just folks geeking out on history somewhat like I could geek out on music culture from five years before I was born. Either that or the Retro Recipes guy has some amazing genetics https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gARF3ICgaLfs3o2znuqXA
I was referring to your loan to your family member, not the interest-bearing crypto loan.
Note though that their data comes from the ABCD study, so at least the journal's reputability is not relevant to quality of data collection and most of the experimental design. Edit: of course, this is not a rebuttal of your specific criticisms.
Also, internal functions/lambdas first before exposing it externally makes the most sense in many cases. Reduces namespace pollution and makes it easier to rewrite those inner ones.
I would pay for a browser that was fast, extendable and catered to power users over casual users. $5-$10/mo would be the sweet spot. I would have paid for Firefox except they now fall into the bucket of “cater to average users” even though they do have the developer edition but it’s still basically the same browser. Give me a browser with equivalent of postman/insomnia built in, better bookmarks, keybindings, unrestricted plugins and more please.

I watched documentary not so long ago, 500 years from now those systems will fire 100% of the soft drink company employees after the stock dropped to almost zero because some idiot decided that water is better for, well, watering plants. So as a society we can get quite some mileage out of them!

Edit: Spelling, I suffer from severe fat finger syndrom which is compounded by typing specific legastenie.
While feelings may be involuntary, this does not mean we are beholden to them. Maybe envy is what happens when a consciousness is discontent and allows these feelings to overpower.
You can easily create a smart contract that can wrap and unwrap tokens. This requires no extra trust.
Right to encryption is arguably implied by 1st amendment's freedom of speech, and 5th amendment's right against self-incrimination (although AFAIK there's not any major rulings on that).

Roe vs Wade's right to privacy only applies to abortion. For example, it does not give you the right to inject yourself with heroin.
“Open access” journal fees are often accounted for by institutional affiliations or grant funding donors. The upside of upfront publication charges is that the research output isn’t paywalled and therefore ideally reaches more eyeballs and brainpans than the conventional route.
why are you two taking about home buying? Mergers and Acquisitions cant be done by analogy.
Of course most people want options, codifying how to have options is tricky though.

That also doesn't change the fact that most people in Europe and US choose to have large single family homes if the option is available.
No, the pure label "Therapeut" is not restricted in any way. Some specific labels for types of therapists are, e.g. a Psychotherapeut has to go through an approbation process like other medical titles.
But with bitcoin mining your heat pays for itself, while if you use a heat pump you have to buy power to run the heat pump. So while heat pumps are more energy effient, bitcoin miners are far more economically efficient.
Can't say whether they're addictive or not. My personal opinion based on my own history is that the reward system in games (levelling up etc.) made me feel like I'd achieved something while in reality, I just entertained myself.

Long hours of gaming and imbibing this translated over into the real world where it became harder for me to put in effort because I had to see rewards accumulate as a score somewhere and that wasn't happening.
May I ask where you have sought out such communities?

Not OP, but I've had limited success finding others interested in talking about mental health.
“Crypto is already making a real world impact”

Wow, and after only 14 years! Amazing.
I made something like 100x on that trade so I think I did OK.
Disabling DNSSEC doesn't propagate instantly. Have you queried the CF nameservers for the domain directly? In my experience everything involving DNSSEC requires a 24h wait (unless the domain hasn't been queried from anywhere - but that's usually not the case, something might have triggered distributed DNS lookups e.g. LE doing DNS validation for cert issuance etc).
What are some good apps and games to have your 3-5 yo play? I can definitely see TV making them more and more mentally inactive.

Nice conspiracy theory. I wonder if Mozilla execs are in on it.
I don't think there's evidence for this for anxiety, but I think this is true for dysthymia (persistent depression), however this isn't necessarily what OP has, although to me it does kind of sound more like dysthymia than anxiety. Generalised or specific anxiety disorders can be treated much more effectively than depression, persistent or otherwise.

If it is persistent depression, you are right. I have dysthymia, and have had it since childhood, and there isn't really hope. Those who have remission, almost always relapse after a year. It is something you learn to cope with, rather than treat. We just have to come to terms with the reality of the situation, that in this life we won't experience the joy that other humans do.
Criminals are much less likely to engage in MITM attacks, besides TLAs it's usually shady ISPs who want to inject some content (similar to surveillance that could be made illegal too, ISPs would in fact care). And criminals also have little incentive to attack read-only sites. Even if they did it might be more efficient to allocate resources to law enforcement rather than securing everything that could theoretically be attacked by criminals.
For most people the affects of climate change costs more and have higher impact than what crypto provides.

Better solution: PoS.

Do you know who is using already a highly tuned modern fast currency system based on PoS?

You do. I do. Everyone else does.

It's called us dollar, euro and other stable fiats.

And yes inflation problem doesn't go away just because you use Bitcoin.
I periodically check on LibreOffice to see if it's usable and typically I don't last more than a minute or two without hitting a major show-stopper. Last time I tried LibreOffice Writer, the text didn't render until after I stopped typing. The time before that, LibreOffice Calc took 3 seconds to begin editing any cell.

It's a common problem with Open Source: who does the slog work of testing, tracking down, and fixing the simple bugs and perf issues? Evidently, LibreOffice doesn't have enough maintainer cycles to have good coverage of common setups. It's unfortunate and as a developer I feel for them, but as a user it makes paying Microsoft an easy choice.
Tell HN: I probably spend more on piracy than if I just paid for content
I have a confession, I pirate a lot of content. Mostly TV/Movies. That being said, piracy is pretty expensive.

I built a computer with ~30TB of hard drive space. That, conservatively, cost me $1200. It's an older computer, with a lot of hard drives and it's probably costing me around $45 per month in power. I'm going to want to add more storage space soon, and have about $500 slated for that. I pay a usenet subscription, and subscription to indexers, for let's say $10 per month...

So if I stopped pirating I'd have saved $1200 and still have a budget of $55 per month for streaming services.

So why do I still pirate? Well one thing is show availability. There are some must-have shows that simply aren't available in my region (not the US), so I already have to have the piracy infrastructure in place if I want to watch them.

I also very much appreciate having a local copy. It's not like steam where I can just download whatever I want and play it offline (I do mostly buy steam content, if it's on steam I probably don't bother to pirate).

Streaming services still have significant service problems that need to be addressed.
I swear I remember doing this on a c64 but maybe it was on my dad's Tandy PC after I inherited the old C64.
Right but when someone looks for a therapist for mental health in germany they look for a "psychotherapist", since that is the one that offers psychotherapy
I didn’t say it wasn’t vindicated in doing so, but you ain’t measuring two programs relative performance by running one on a beefy machine and the other on an emulator either.
Just don’t conclude more from it than you can.
You should still protect against MITM attacks even with read-only websites - not all attacks are based on stealing user input.
HTTPS is indeed broken when viewing it from a site reliability perspective. Anyone who has maintained more than a handful of domains simultaneously will agree (personally I’ve managed hundreds, each with their own certificate … it’s an awful experience).
Sure, you're free to pick the best solution for you. I'd opt for the most reliable one.
Which is material to investors like me who think that crypto is a house of cards and gaming has long term growth potential
This is 'analytic geometry', not 'algebraic geometry'. There's a big difference!
