The easy solution is to allow doctors to make fit-for-flight decisions instead of the FAA.

If a doctor, or panel of flight doctors ok’s you to fly, then why does the FAA have final say?

I don’t care if my pilot has treated depression and a doctor says they are fine(currently an administrative disqualification). I very much care if my pilot is hiding/denying their depression and not getting care because they could lose their flight status.

The standard advice about getting a flight medical is to only answer what is asked and to volunteer nothing.

Another danger using fork is it duplicates the internal state of pseudo random number generators. It's a great way to accidentally take the same random samples in every process, utterly trashing any statistics you were intending to do. Bonus: the python multiprocessing module silently uses fork by default. Person A writes a "make multiprocessing convenient" library, Person B writes a sampling library, you put them together and... whoops!.
As a 28 year old who was just diagnosed, I can tell you from lived experience that it's the condition, and by extension, the expectations that people have of you that you aren't capable of meeting.

When I was a kid, I constantly described myself as "lazy" and "tired". Now I understand I was really experiencing "executive disfunction" and "understimulation".

Adding those words to my vocabulary didn't cure my ADHD, but it did relieve some internalized shame and anxiety that were caused by living undiagnosed (and therefore untreated).
> There's only been 1-2 major macOS releases since the M1 launch

Consider that the "years of increased slowdowns" probably referred to the years before the M1 was released a year or two ago. Which would make sense, as the comparison was pre-M1 vs post-M1.

> The highest ability, fastest learners disproportionately leave the field over time. They have a multitude of other ways to profitably leverage their intellect and skills. Software development carries serious opportunity cost.

Curious where some HN users have gone when they left software dev, especially if it is something other than management of some type.
I don't think that even the moon landing itself was 'too expensive' for such an achievement. Going to the moon will be remembered for a long time by future generartions as an example of what humanity can achieve. What are $1 billion against that?
I have extensive experience with IBM products, and I can say their products, these days, are garbage. My last experience (with PDTX) was so bad, I literally removed all mentions of IBM products from my resume. It's been almost a decade and I still get recruiters with old copies of my resume hitting me with stuff for management of IBM stuff, and I immediately delete those communications. Never again.
That's a very strange way of phrasing this. Obviously if you're telling random other people to go kill themselves in a game, you should be banned, same as if you start hurting racial slurs or making threats or other asshole behavior.
This absolutely rips. So impressed by the 3D achieved here. The other examples of 3D GBA games I’ve seen play some pretty obvious tricks to make it performant, I cant spot any of those tricks here.
There's a constant iterative feedback process. Learn -> Do -> Learn -> Do -> etc...

If something is painful and then you read about how to make it less hard, that's immensely gratifying. At that point you learn how beneficial that is, and start reading more. But if you just read and never apply that knowledge, you don't actually understand it. You need to strike the right balance.
Finally! I don't care if it's apple or someone else, but the "no blackouts" thing is big. Nothing drives me more crazy than being unable to stream a game because I happen to live in the same geographic region as the team home field. This would finally motivate me to cancel the cable TV subscription - the only sport I watch is soccer, and the only reason I keep the cable TV is so I can dig out the remote whenever the dumb blackout rules prevent me from watching it via streaming.
Also, Mutter does not support variable refresh rate.
It's the condition. You can try place your hand on a glowing hot stove. Couldn't? Imagine that with every task, however willing or not you are. Some have it better, some worse. Just one side of the disorder already being a big hindrance.
Ask HN: Are YouTube Comments Working?
I see that there are YouTube comments (i.e. 757 Comments), but I don't see them, only the text box to enter a new one.
God-fearing Westerners are still afraid of death, that's why they turn to religion in the first place.

One thing I notice about strongly Abrahamic religious people is that they are okay with eschewing the pleasures of life because they believe that heaven is their next step, and the only way to get there is to abstain from things they enjoy, are "tempted" by, and/or would otherwise be ambitious toward.

They'll give up things like sex before marriage, education, household autonomy, careers, foods, non-heterosexual partnerships (suppressing their own attraction preferences), coffee, alcohol, being in the presence of the opposite sex...almost anything you can name will be something that someone religious will just give up because they think it will grant them favor by God.

Religions that believe in things like faith healing will even give up medical care because they believe God will heal them. I know someone who is doing exactly this and is nearly immobile out of pure stubbornness. A quick and simple procedure could save them a whole bunch of pain and suffering and give them their abilities back.

In contrast, I find some of the ideas of "pleasure activism" to be very interesting. We've been taught to avoid pleasure, that it's "sinful," that it's "embarrassing" (especially for women). But why? Why is it bad? Here's an example article: https://thefederalist.com/2019/10/18/gender-studies-professo...

Watch a televangelist like Sid Roth and you'll see that a large swath of Christianity revolves around sitting around and praying for good things to happen rather than making them happen through action. It's an incredibly selfish and futile form of Christianity.

>You Have Only So Much Time. Are You Using It Right?

No.

I think it would be great if it was easier to mix and match Grafana SaaS and self-hosted products.

For example, we need to run Loki ourselves, for security / privacy reasons, but wouldn't mind using hosted versions of Tempo, Prometheus and OnCall.

Right now it isn't super-easy to link e.g. self-hosted loki search queries with SaaS-Prometheus.
> you have freedom of expression, but it only extends as far as it doesn't infringe on another person's entitlement to a life free from discrimination & harassment

How do you determine this? If I define a common word to be offensive towards me, how would you argue against it if I really feel that way? Where do you draw the line?
The same laws that protect them protect gay rights activists. If the democratic majority in a town with a church like that was allowed to choose a side to ban, who do you think they would pick?
It's probably just a joke. But after some thinking, it could be because it's a large congregation of """unsupervised""" teenagers (that are actually being surveilled) and when/if the courts were to read a transcript from your average group of 15 year old boys competing among each other out loud, then most of western societies perpetual pearl clutchers would have an aneurism despite it being mostly harmless and only do more harm in prosecuting then protecting as far as effect on peoples lives go.

this phrase will never go away, the fact that it stems from a 100 year old supreme court decision that used it as example why speech in opposition to the WWI draft was not protected free speech under the first amendment is still funny besides the fact that it was later overturned.
I think that's exactly why the parent commenter would like those protections extended to other age groups.
Am I the only one who thinks that once you expose yourself to the public you should be prepared to take some "insults"?

I enjoyed Craig Federighi‘s joke name for macOS 11, Sea Lion, back before switched the naming convention.
"Hard problems" in the social realm are nearly always the result of two independent entities, where each entity should be entitled to their full rights, but those rights are in conflict. Think the abortion debate (right of a woman's bodily autonomy vs. right of the fetus/child), gun debate (right to bear arms vs right to not get shot in school or the grocery store), transgender people in sports debate (right of individuals to compete in sports vs. right of other competitors to have a fair playing field).

Thus, when it comes to free speech, while I used to be more of a "free speech absolutist", I think the past 10-20 years have shown real dangers of unlimited free speech, especially that enabled by technology and anonymity. I'm not necessarily arguing one way or the other on any particular case, only emphasizing that I don't think an "absolutist" position makes sense - there have always been limits on free speech, even in the US. It's a hard problem precisely because words can have such serious consequences. I mean, look at the mobs that were whipped up against the Rohingya in Myanmar. Where do you draw the line there on free speech and inciting murder?
Probably not.

Linux usually gets a pass, because most times you're just deploying it and not mucking with source code.

But a lot of places (I've worked at more that do than don't) will have rules about GPL/AGPL for libraries/infra as a whole though. Often evaluated case-by-case, but it's rare I've seen a AGPL stuff get approved for usage.

I think some of it is not wanting to deal with the cost of vigilance; i.e. you can make sure that someone is using %thing% in a way that doesn't run afoul of AGPL right now, but does legal and upper management have confidence in that being true forever and always? Engineers are still human, and corporate management + legal teams tend to hate licensing folk tromping around.

This results in refusals ranging from "This is internal for now but we will open it up later" (a fair concern) to "Somebody is worried that exposing it over the VPN to contractors would count as making it public" (IDK, I'm not a lawyer.)
Updating a dependency, refactoring some code, or just making a 'simple' change sets off a chain of events that affect other people. The other devs need to review the code, the QA team need to test it, and then regression test the rest of the app, the devops team need to deploy it, the legal team need to update the legal documentation that lists the licenses for the dependencies the code has, the technical writers need to change the docs if the update has a visible impact for users, and so on, all across your org.

What looks like a small change to a developer is never actually a small change.

I really hope there aren't that many people impacted when you go for a piss.
These are different contexts; in terms of global air pollution, sure, but in terms of in-home exposure to pollutants and microplastic stuff, something that filters the air might help in the place you spend 1/2 or more of your life at.
Sounds like you’re not up to date on research, there’s a few citations in later comments.

Anyway, I don’t think the poster was saying it doesn’t exist. They appear to be saying there are correlations and often a diagnosis at a young age is a reflection more on a willingness to accept a hyper child vs not. That is to say, a child can have ADHD, but that doesn’t mean you have to medicate them. Medicating them (again at a young age) for ADHD, indicates a willingness and potentially eagerness to medicate, as opposed to attempting to correct issues. Ie just give the drugs, don’t try to figure out why they’re depressed.
I guess the devil is in the details, but on a cursory glance this sounds more akin to American libel laws than "no insults ever"

Certain pockets of the gaming community are crime-adjacent with respect to online harassment (not the type this law describes; actual, clearly illegal and clearly not constitutionally protected harassment).

You see similar things in other crime-adjacent communities. E.g., I've known many taggers who support stiffer penalties for people who tag in national parks, deface uncontroversial monuments, etc but are afraid that those stiffer penalties might result in a crackdown on their own plainly criminal art installations.

Similar with petty theft. Lots of people will say stuff like "I love boosters they are taking care of the common man" while simultaneously going into fits of rage when their own property is stolen.

"I spend enough time around people who commit this crime that I can see how much damage this type of behavior can cause, but I also think my particular flavor of it is harmless."
If you want, you can overpay taxes by $5k to get a refund to put into I Bonds.
Amazon has literally hired Pinkertons to surveil workers, and they have been accused of retaliatory firings, etc. There's no outlandish or fanciful conspiracy here. Amazon are publicly known to be vehemently anti-union, and executives do encourage local management teams to try to curb union activity as much as possible, and appear to have fired local management at another facility for failing to do so, so the existence of this imperative seems pretty solid: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/06/technology/amazon-fires-m...

What's likely to have happened is that a person in local management wanted to stop union solicitation, so they called the cops with little regard for whether it was actually legitimate or not, in the hope that the cops might at least recommend the organizer move their activity to a less "aggravating" (i.e., less effective) location.
Two things can be true at the same time. Some kids truly do have a disorder that benefits from medication. Some kids are prescribed medication they don't need simply so they are able to do something that no child should reasonable be expect to do: sit in a chair and listen to people talk at them for 8+ hours a day. One truth does not preclude the other.
In context, this speech is given on the subject of trampling the civil rights of an individual suspected of a crime.

That has nothing to do with criminalizing certain behavior, especially behaviors with evidence linking them to increased suicides among young people. And the risk of witch-hunts is much rarer in this context, where the possibly illegal behavior is often auto-transcribed due to the text or audiovisual media that was used to transmit it.
We need to ban entire categories of chemicals, if they are ever going to be in contact with food or potable water, including at end of life: phthalates, bisphenols, PFAS.

We also need to ban polyester clothing, at least for categories washed frequently: socks, tshirts, underwear. Polyester clothing is made from discarded plastic and inevitably degrades into microplastics inside your own house, bed, washing machine.
Ask HN: Is there something like the mate-in-1 puzzle, but for code?
I was just thinking about the way you can treat debugging or coding as a puzzle, and I wondered if anyone has made a mate-in-1 (chess) style puzzle for code, or even pseudocode?

The idea being less of syntax debugging, and more of logic issues with the code or pseudocode. Fix one thing and the program does what it was meant to do.

Or maybe wordle-style: Choose from a list of given fixes, but e.g. you only get to try up to three of the given choices, and there are five to choose from.

If anything like this exists I'd be interested to check it out.
In the last 20 years I have seen mostly ultra-fast depreciation of SE _interviewing_ skills.

After the first ten years software development becomes quite intuitive and you internalize all those best practices. You can be trusted to start a new service from an empty git repository. Later it gets incremental, there's a lot of path dependency in languages and frameworks and few things come out of the blue. Those that do are frequently intellectually stimulating to learn.

But interviews have been steadily getting strange and difficult (in a way not related to real life software development), at least in the last 10 years.

Bullying is not about insulting someone in passing. It is something that happens over a period of time.

Australia's NCAB defines it as such:

"Bullying is an ongoing and deliberate misuse of power in relationships through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm. It can involve an individual or a group misusing their power, or perceived power, over one or more persons who feel unable to stop it from happening."

It would be quite a lot of effort to falsify this, especially since most judges around the world can request the original copies of messages from websites or even get access to the devices of the concerned parties. Japan's defamation and libel laws are already very strict.
This is the quote that resonated with me:

“Part of it is, my body is working right now and who knows if it will be in a year or two,” he says. “I’m more deliberate and determined when it comes to things like that.”

I'm at that age where I know things are getting more brittle. Trying to care of things a bit more so I can still do things like walk and ride my bike.
Speech is not violence and it is absurd for anyone to imply otherwise.
Please read up on the diagnostic criteria for ADHD (it's not just "can't sit down"!), and understand that not everybody is born with a brain chemistry that serves them well in life. People with ADHD are affected by it even when they're not in school.

Lucky for those with ADHD, most respond to medication very effectively.
> Good for Japan. Politeness rules.

It's ironic you mention politeness.

The person who suicided appeared on a reality TV show called Terrace House.

The bullying occurred in response to what Japanese netizens deemed as her behaving impolitely. To Japanese people, the behavior was unacceptable and why the segment went viral. Add in the fact that the person who suicided is a female wrestler which is unorthodox in Japan. The show producers capitalized on this.

The issue is much more deep-seated than toxic internet trolls and bullies. It's the culture of shaming and expectations. That goes for both the people shaming others, as well as those receiving shame. To receive shame from other Japanese people is possibly the worst consequence a Japanese person can face, more so than death. That's one narrative why there are disproportionately less Japanese prisoners-of-wars.

One of the convicted bullies received an $80 fine. So this headline seems somewhat at odds ( the law already exists, just increasing the penalty). You have also have understand Japan is a classist and hierarchical society, and randos on the internet can subvert that power dynamic. The cynic in me thinks the slippery slope here is in regards to who will become the target of "cyberbullying" next? Politicians and the well-connected?
It’s worth mentioning that ADHD also increases the risk of depression. Along with anxiety, depression is one of the most common comorbidities particularly in people with undiagnosed ADHD.

I didn’t take ADHD meds as a kid, so I can’t speak to their effect on me. But when diagnosed as an adult, I had suffered nearly my whole life with chronic depression and anxiety.

Both reached a crisis level a few years back, which was a major factor in seeking diagnosis. This diagnosis, and treatment, saved my life. I won’t share my medical charts or anything, but I will say that since my meds and dosage have been consistent, depression is still there but barely noticeable. Anxiety much more manageable.

These meds helped me put my life back together. I’m not dismissing the study, or that other people have different experiences. But I share my perspective when things like this come up, in case it benefits others who might have similar struggles and wonder if ADHD might be a factor.
I think "Chromecast with Google TV" excludes older Chromecast devices. Not that I really blame Apple here, I've played around with Chromecasts a few times and they're wildly underpowered even if they are ubiquitous.

They should adopt Latte as an official/built-in project and present the user with presets on their first login IMO.

But going with the Windows look by default is a good idea because, in terms of pure market share, that's what users expect.
Couldn’t the posters point about lack of parental engagement be the root cause for being behind their peers?

I’m sorry, it doesn’t seem like you’re really challenging the argument.
That's right. What the current batch of social networks are missing is good tools for knowledge consolidation; there are no tools more complex than the single thread intermixed with comments.

A knowledge graph would work more as a Wikipedia of personal projects and topics of interest, with the possibility to build special data visualizations on top of it. For example, this could be the perfect medium for building distributed discourse aggregators of opinions and rational debates, like Kialo[1] and Parlia[2] but without a single company controlling the content. Social networks transform these debates into confrontations, while a structured knowledge tool could create a structured knowledge base from this kind of exalted conflicting positions.
