I read somewhere on HackerNews that Python is kinda like a default language and rest such as Go, C, C++, Java are just for Optimization, once you figure out your solution.
I would encourage you to revisit the research around firearms used in self defense. 500,000 to 3,000,000 encounters where a firearm was used in self defense in the US is what I was able to find. Doesn't sound minuscule.

Extracting ubiquitous atmospheric water is a sustainable strategy to enable decentralized access to safely managed water but remains challenging due to its limited daily water output at low relative humidity (≤30% RH). Here, we report super hygroscopic polymer films (SHPFs) composed of renewable biomasses and hygroscopic salt, exhibiting high water uptake of 0.64–0.96 g g−1 at 15–30% RH. Konjac glucomannan facilitates the highly porous structures with enlarged air-polymer interfaces for active moisture capture and water vapor transport. Thermoresponsive hydroxypropyl cellulose enables phase transition at a low temperature to assist the release of collected water via hydrophobic interactions. With rapid sorption-desorption kinetics, SHPFs operate 14–24 cycles per day in arid environments, equivalent to a water yield of 5.8–13.3 L kg−1. Synthesized via a simple casting method using sustainable raw materials, SHPFs highlight the potential for low-cost and scalable atmospheric water harvesting technology to mitigate the global water crisis.
Ugh, the vapidity is off the charts here. Mental models don’t make you successful, they may be useful to give perspective in specific scenarios, but not in a context-free listicle.

What can you make you successful is focus on deep understanding and solving of non-trivial problems. This article can only scatter your focus and disrupt the necessary mindset.
The perfect storm of this recall plus the pandemic induced supply chain disruption and the chip shortages has made it really difficult for me to find a ResMed AirMini travel CPAP to buy in Europe. Pretty tired of having to lug the full-sized AirSense 10 around. Must be worse for the people who can't even get a normal, homebound CPAP, though.

It says Larry Wall isn't working on Perl anymore. When did that happen? It looks like the Perl6 thing was announced in 2000 and around 2010 Larry Wall deleted the Perl page from his blog (it's been a 404 link ever since)

That butterfly was the worst. Perl would have been better served having an animal like the honeybadger as its logo.
Mine look almost identical to these from Sound Professionals: https://soundprofessionals.com/product/SP-TFB-2/

I would be willing to spend $100-150, but compactness is a high priority. My use case would be to basically have this microphone/recorder in my back pocket to record wild sound, playing with my 3-year-old son, random moments of friends making music, and so on.

I don’t want to need to ‘plan on recording that day’ - I just want it to be compact enough to carry around.
Don't make push notifications mandatory. Android OS has mandatory push notifications for things that I absolutely do not care about. Samsung has mandatory push notifications for updating their crapware that I've never opened.
While most of the comments here centre on the 2nd amendment, this small thread is the only one that touches what matters.

Why are kids plotting mass shootings? It's not because they have access to weapons. It's because something is VERY broken in their family nucleus and values.

I understand your point that there's no way the government can police family education. But what I would suggest is to make parents and legal guardians directly and fully responsible for their kids crimes.

Your children killed? You are charged with accessory murder or manslaughter. Your daughter stole? YOU are charged as well.

It is YOUR choice what you decide to teach or not to your kids. But on the flipside, it also becomes your responsibility.

This would also work with the problems the UK had (I lived there several years ago) of delinquent kids. You had 10 year olds doing crime who just got ASBOs (collectable paper for them,) and the parents were nowhere to be seen. Charge the parents for their children crimes, as adults.
> I have learned that some Americans consider it crucial to arm themselves in case there is a tyrannical government in the future.

OK but you realize that some in this case is a small percentage. Most people just want to defend their homes from intruders, defend their property from animals, hunt a few days a year, plink on the weekends, or just don't want to turn in the cherished firearm that was passed down in the family.

Don't expect to come away with much from this list.

The very first model listed in the article, "antifragile", is so threadbare that it misses the lesson entirely. There are no implications, no real world examples. Zero guidance in how to use it. The entire point of learning the concept is missing.

I would have expected a call out about supply chains or how fragile systems break down, maybe even how to fix them, but there's nothing.

This page is like a dictionary definition of terms, but worse. If this is your first time encountering these concepts, you'll come back with some fancy lingo and no idea what it really means. That's a disservice to important concepts.

Take the subjects and Google them.

the same stuff happened long time ago with ruby. I mean, not exactly the same stuff, ruby was perl-inspired from the start.

Nowadays instead of `perl -lne` oneliners I usually make `ruby -lne` oneliners, just for a chance my coworkers could make sense of them.

let's celebrate perl at least for native support of utf-8 strings before it was cool.
Where are the parents / guardians in all this? They should be responsible for the way their kids are raised, and their actions.
Pushing wasn't the problem here, at least not the primary one. It was a lack of love, understanding, and support from parents. He didn't feel heard, he didn't feel loved. His mother made it clear what her priority was, and it wasn't him. Will probably could have been an actor and had a loving supportive mother. At least it's possible.

Plenty of children benefit from hard work with their families. When the relationships are toxic then that time becomes toxic probably along with the activity. When there's love, they may not do that thing forever, but they will not hate it like this.

With my children, I encourage exploration of their skills, desires, and I've started them on paths towards lifelong careers from youngish ages (12-13). Which includes learning skills and testing things out. But I keep a keen ear open to their desires and an eye on their actual aptitudes and try really hard to match them up with useful work that they will like long term. I also try not to push so hard I kill the joy in the exploration and discovery while trying to keep expectations up and providing on-level material for them to level up at their own pace.

Children want expectations. They need expectations. Just also fill their lives with love — especially active love involving your time and attention. So that they thoroughly know that they are loved and valued well above and beyond any of these things or activities, and it will generally go well.

Ok, then back to the wedding reception example. Imagine someone who is not an alcoholic, just a regular person who has a drink now and again. This person, if given access to an open bar, might have a few too many drinks and cause a scene, but if it was a paid bar would only have one or two and be fine. The person's behavior could therefore be 'controlled' by changing the availability to drinks; i.e. putting a cost on each drink reduces how many they have and the corresponding bad behavior they could potentially engage in if they had too many.
> Hint: these are in complete opposition

They are not. Black people have a right to self-defense the same as everyone else. The point is that gun violence in the United States is not uniform or random, but rather connected with specific set of social conditions. Ameliorating those specific social problems would reduce violent crime rates without the need to disarm peaceful civilians.
I have no doubt that Australia has fewer mass shootings than the US by pretty much any reasonable metric, but we should be careful in our comparisons. First of all, definitions vary widely on what constitutes a “mass shooting”, so we should always give our definition and make sure we’re applying the same definition to both operands (notably, by most common definitions, Australia has had several mass shootings and quite a few more mass murders since 1996).

We should also adjust for known dependent variables, like population, population density, crime rates, number of guns in circulation (i.e., we would intuitively expect fewer mass shootings from a small, sparse, low-abiding country with few guns in circulation irrespective of gun laws)—Australia has only 8% of the US population and only 10% of the density—not sure about crime rates. I also suspect there were fewer guns in circulation prior to 1996, so even if officials could get the same share removed from the US market, it would likely leave more guns in circulation than in America (even adjusting for population, etc)—I also doubt Americans would be as willing to give up their guns as Australians were in ‘96, so the odds that America could get the same share of guns off the market as Australia did seems unlikely.

That said, I’ve read that Australia’s gun count has crept back up to pre-96 levels (not sure if that is per capita or not), which is interesting—potentially it suggests there’s something else going on: either it matters what type of guns are banned (e.g., semi-automatic handguns), or perhaps there’s an altogether different reason or hidden factor behind the decline in Australian mass shootings.

In any case, mass shootings is probably the wrong metric, but rather we probably want to look at number of mass murder deaths overall (presumably some people switch to stabbings or arson, but both of these are probably result in fewer fatalities). It’s also not clear to me why we fixate on mass murders/shootings rather than homicides overall—is it really worse when 10 people are killed all at once rather than 10000 people killed individually?

Yes, this is directly referenced in the article.

Media reports often assume a binary distinction between mild and severe mental illness, and connect the latter form to unpredictability and lack of self-control. However, this distinction, too, is called into question by mental health research. To be sure, a number of the most common psychiatric diagnoses, including depressive, anxiety, and attention-deficit disorders, have no correlation with violence whatsoever.18 Community studies find that serious mental illness without substance abuse is also “statistically unrelated” to community violence.40 At the aggregate level, the vast majority of people diagnosed with psychiatric disorders do not commit violent acts—only about 4% of violence in the United States can be attributed to people diagnosed with mental illness.41,42
They aren't models in any way I understand the term. I called them tools in my comment.

It's a good list but comes with just enough explanation to misunderstand what they are if you don't research or already know the tool.

In short, I believe the author is making a sales pitch, not writing an article.
> This was done by a conservative government no less!

It is entirely consistent. Law and order is something conservatives claim to support, so it is logical to want to remove instruments of crime and disorder. The fact that we can find it surprising now tells more about the intellectual trajectory of conservatives over the years. To the point that modern mainstream “conservatives” would have been seen as quasi-fascist rabid nationalists just 20 years ago.
I disagree about the petulance of rich Californians. Their petulance -- along with the persecution complex many rich Californians exhibit -- is generally exceeded by working-class white conservative Christians, incels, and Reddit users who have just gotten downvoted.

Not to mention Madison Cawthorn (R-Narnia). His petulance in the wake of his primary defeat and being dragged out of the closet threatens to eclipse that of his entire constituency.
This is what I have set up. Admittedly I keep forgetting to use it.
There is a whole world outside of silicon valley, crypto, and HN startups. There are huge companies that don't care a fart about open source, the newest buzzwords, or it's go/rust/java or c++. They want something they can get a full solutions from and that is companies like vmware, oracle, IBM, Dell. They want support from those corps when things fail and it's costing them millions of dollars per hour when the system breaks.

the choice was a personal preference, and justified after the fact. This kind of justification happens way too often in a lot of shops, esp. if it is ran by someone with strong opinions and preferences.
In companies that do product development, project managers are responsible for schedules/timelines/reporting. Product managers are responsible for what is the problem, what is to build. It's a massive difference. Good product managers are experts of the market, have vision for the company and product. Project managers focus more on bookkeeping.

Go provides error handling and logging.

It's true that if what you're writing is an application server consisting of business logic and glue code that delegates all the "heavy lifting", performance won't be the first concern. However, even in this case, I think you'll find its easier to get sub-second response times in Go than in a language like Python.

They say this material is cheap and can pull “ 13 liters in areas with up to 30% relative humidity” …

Now I’m wondering if you could use this stuff like crazy in hot, humid places and whether (a) it could pull enough water to be useful for drinking or irrigation, and (b) whether it’s possible to “locally” lower the ambient humidity (like the reverse of the urban heat island effect).

I always have to adjust for this as an early-career engineer aspiring to start my own startup. It's insanely intimidating looking at companies with multi-million or billion-dollar valuations, but my definition of a "successful" company is probably vastly different than what most hyper-growth VCs are looking for.

I'm always more interested in the low-fixed-cost software businesses like Sublime Text, Pinboard, or Hwaci (SQLite)
Your premise of what a "rebellion" was is false as I demonstrated above.

There is a reference for the rebellion the 2A is intended for that we could use.

It's called the American Revolution and the events that led up to it.

Only one small bit of cosmetic feedback. Maybe think about hiring a face model to work your demo. I personally don't care, but I think it might improve your optics.

Just say No to push notifications!

There is a huge problem with spammy push notifications that trick users into accepting push notifications by using fake media players and fake CAPTHAs that if accepted will push all manner of SPAM on victims devices that say they have multiple viruses that pull up Google play store app to some bogus Cleaner/antivirus apps.

The push notifications are hosted on Cloudfront using AdMaven and AdFly and AppNexxus.

I have been trying to report these criminals for a couple of years now with no luck.

Cloudfront refuses to take down the script that AdMaven uses and AdMaven, AdFly, AppNexxus and Proppelerads all ignore multiple attempts to contact.

I still love Perl as essentially a low-level abstraction layer for C. I can get so much done at the system level without having to compile a bunch of code every time I make a small change.

I've heard that Python (and maybe some others) are slowly replacing Perl as a "subsystem" of Linux, but I doubt that will happen before I retire. So, until then, TIMTOWTDI!

>> And it's so easy for the first bullet to fly when there are so many guns around.

Sure - you can't shoot people (with bullets) if you don't have a firearm.

What gun control proponents miss about the US is that we literally have more guns than people.

I don't know of a feasible way to take even a meaningful fraction of those out of civilian hands, just at a practical enforcement level.

Never mind the political nightmare taking guns away en masse would produce. It might just actually trigger a civil war here.
I may have missed something but hasn't China recently demonstrated that it absolutely is not willing to let its tech giants get too big and powerful. Take a look at what has happened with BABA.
The cases apparently quickly turn yellow or brown from UV degradation. That's a common problem with cheap transparent cases, but it's not something you would expect from an official $30 case from a major manufacturer.

The obvious conclusion is this is a cheap transparent case with a $30 price tag.

The major manufacturer probably found the profiteering too enticing to resist.

It's been a while since I wanted something in Go that wasn't available, other than the obvious big-ticket items like NumPy which are ecosystems unto themselves. (Or, to put it another way, yeah, Go doesn't have NumPy, but neither does anybody else other than Python at this point.) YMMV, of course, but it's certainly not a routine occurrence.
Don't try to treat depression with an app or website, nor in isolation using only what you've learned from an app or website. As TFA points out this stuff should be done by people who know what they're doing.

Yes, depression has been cured by hypnotherapy. But you have to find someone who knows what they are doing. Even most professional hypnotherapists don't really know what they're doing, so your friend shouldn't be afraid to try different ones until they find someone effective. I suffered from depression and was cured by a hypnotherapist, but he is arguably one of the greatest therapists in the world. Meeting him wasn't cheap, but it gave me my life, so it was literally priceless. Not every therapist can do that. (Although the guy spends a large amount of his time teaching seminars all over the world to transfer his knowledge, yet his work is called "pseudoscience" and ignored or dismissed by academia.)

Shouldn't be hard to raise a bit of funding for such a project assuming you have the right background.

It varies depending on company, type of product, etc. However, in my experience with mostly computer systems hardware, project managers were more internally focused and concerned with minutiae of schedules, resources, dependencies, etc. Whereas product managers interfaced with sales, customers, and--depending or the organization related groups like product marketing, marketing communications, etc.

But PM/PMM roles can vary a fair bit.
