I wrote that it is horrifying so many children are drugged to be more complacent in school. I saw you objecting to that and assumed I'd need to come back and support the idea that ADHD is over diagnosed and over medicated (e.g. the diagnoses have about doubled in the past couple decades in the US and are substantially higher than in European countries and US pharmaceuticals have a history of being over prescribed). Yet now I find that you are already aware ADHD is overdiagnosed and overtreated - so what exactly are you objecting to in my original comment? You don't think it's horrifying that parents, teachers, and doctors are basically conspiring to drug kids to keep them from acting up in schools?

School is a pretty boring and restrictive place. Children are notoriously poor at dealing with boring things and young boys in particular are particularly prone to the kind of misbehavior that will get them in trouble and drugged.
Personal behavior is the foundation that everything else is built on. There really is no alternative.

You dont have to come at this from a position of judgment, superiority, or avoiding aid. That is a false binary.

The idea is pretty simple: You need the disadvantaged to be active participants and stakeholders in building a better future. You can't do it without them.

In the case of homelessness, it points to earlier intervention. If someone becomes a teen drug addict, parent, and felon, their chances of escaping poverty are quite poor.

Third parties cant control behavior and choices throughout a persons life, but you can help them make smart choices and build the skills to do so.
If you look at the state of the lower middle class and below today, and think capitalism has done wonders, you're delusional.

Countries with fewer billionaires and more socialistic policies are much, much better to live in today I'd say. Just compare US with EU for instance. So not sure how you can assert that the opposite "demonstrately happens".

Don't you think people would "pull harder" if they themselves actually saw the fruit of their labor?
We're talking about people's livelihoods here, and you still talk about "bottom lines".. I'm not sure if you're trolling or actually hold these views?
AFAIK, Mises.org is generally well regarded among libertarians.

Libertarians generally argue that externalities should either be illegal or taxed, when there are no other practical solutions. Here's a video of Milton Friedman on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YGfwSvLkC0
I agree with this. A smart coder is going to write it all in a high-level language and then profile it to see which tiny bits might be better off in assembler and then profile it again to test their theory. Modern compilers know a lot of tricks and can often find optimizations that would be hard to do manually in machine code.
From a value prospective it might work out well. I don’t watch soccer and I’ll probably watch a few matches. I suppose it all comes down to the price they paid.
fork() and exec() is a reflection of the unix philosophy: small tools for separate tasks, and as a result you have great composability. You can set up right etc for your new process by calling any number of system calls between fork() and exec().

Windows is a great example of the alternative (following "Windows philosophy"): There are about three different API calls for creating a new process, each with a heap of complicated optional arguments. The API becomes more complex, less composable, less extensible and less powerful. But also easier to reason about and easier for the kernel to provide, and arguably with fewer footguns.
Does anyone actually start taking finasteride before the emergence of sexuality, though? As far as I'm aware, treatment is usually initiated at age 21 or later. In that case, changes in sexuality should be very hard to miss, and we'd know by now.
Ritalin still isn't "cocaine", despite your negative experience with it, and you're going to do more harm to those who would benefit from it by spreading around FUD.

Part of the process of treating ADHD is finding the right medication, and Ritalin works for most, and if it's working as intended, does not produce the "high" feeling that you got. If you're getting high off of it, it's not the drug for you, or you're on the wrong dose.
Genuine question: At what point do we actually declare that we are in recession. Do we wait for GDP figures out these signs are enough to assume we are in bear markets now.

Apple obviously does not like to preannounce products, but with a ten-year time horizon, some form of AR/VR has to be in their plans as well.
This is super interesting. One of the reasons why I got to develop my strongest CS skill into Smalltalk (a puristic niche technology) is because I've understood that working with it makes easier the maximization of what is timeless and the minimization of what ages faster than fish out of the fridge (libraries).
> Rust just may be the best choice for your startup, but it's not necessarily the best choice for all startups - in fact it's probably not the best choice for most startups!

Maybe it's just an assumption on your end. Neither title nor author imply that it's THE choice. The title literally says "a great choice"

Hertzbleed Disclosed as New Family of Side-Channel Attacks
I've looked into this myself. I've moved to as many plastic-free and sustainable options as I can, but I just can't give up my preference for things like tri-blend shirts. Additionally, cotton is a very resource-intensive crop.
That's fair. I think it depends on the person a little too.

For me, I prefer to gain a deeper knowledge before I dive in because I know what direction to look to solve the problems I come across if I've read about them already. I might not remember the specifics, but I know to look for it.

Works well for me though.
To counter your anecdote with my own:

I grew up in a two-parent household. I had a doting, stay-home mom who spent lots of time with us. I lived in a safe neighborhood where I rode bikes with other kids for miles around during the summer. My family took long road trips to places like Yellowstone National Park for weeks and day trips to the zoo, the botanical gardens, the science museum, etc. I did not have a TV in my room and screen time was limited. I was involved in sports at school, summer swim team, and karate which my dad did with us.

I have ADHD which resulted in crippling depression when I was in college. As soon as I got diagnosed and medicated, I was able to be like the normal people that I always wanted to be, and align my actions with my goals.
true but the after effects of your drive to seek 'happiness' would still be around. for instance if we trash the planet looking for that last bit of dopamine hit and kill off all biodiversity because of industrial farming then sure they wont know YOU personally but they know you as a society and generation. Does not means one should not seek happiness but just within the bounds of whats supportable by the biosphere.
I wouldn't recommend trying to affirmatively create an HN submission for each blog post because they'll end up getting marked as dead (and your account could be negatively affected as well). What you could do that would be preferable would be to have a discuss/discussion button at the bottom of your blog, and when it's clicked it creates an HN submission. If the submission already exists, then it takes the person to the existing discussion. I believe I've seen this on someone else's blog.

But to be honest, I found this to be somewhat shady, since it resulted in an logged-in user creating/upvoting a submission without them realizing that's what would happen. If you could give notice/consent with your button label, that would avoid this shadiness.
I take your point on the strict definition of 'illegal' speech. But if we're broadly talking about restricted speech, I think most people would happily include speech where you are likely to pay significant civil damages?
Very true. This stuff started at places like Google and Facebook and it makes a sort of sense for them as right or wrong they're very focused on hiring new college grads. With no real work experience to speak of you can do a lot worse than hire the ones that show they can apply their CS coursework to leetcode problems.

But doing the same to workers with 10 years of real world experience doesn't make nearly as much sense. Like hiring medical doctors by quizzing them on organic chemistry problems. Google and Facebook do it because they can and they don't know what else to do, but I don't understand how it became a universal practice.
It certainly can be addictive.

The Apple TV remote can be configured to control volume via IR or through HDMI CEC. When plugged into a new display, the Apple TV tries to auto configure this based on what devices it detects. It's possible it messed up with IR and you just needed to manually set it to use CEC.
> However, if we do that with the broader stock market, I suspect it'll exacerbate the wealth gap issue you lament

the most widely used cryptos either have fixed inflation or noteably no inflation with bitcoin.

These are merely a ton of correlations, but it's hard to imagine the wealth gap getting worse under a non-inflationary, trickle down economic model. The trickle down model might work with non-inflationary currency, but it seems obvious to me that it doesn't work in our current system where the bankers get the most value from the dollars its allowed to create and it loses value as it moves towards lower income pockets.

> Ritalin is a schedule V medication precisely because of the reasons I mentioned.

Doesn't make it okay to call it "legal cocaine".

> Five minutes of research online shows that my experience is not uncommon. Hell, reading the warning label from the pharmaceutical manufacturer is sufficient to make my point.

Obviously it's documented, but it doesn't make your point. As I already said, it's a thing that happens in the process when finding the correct dosage for an individual.

Though for neurotypical people who don't have the disorder, there's no correct dosage and they'll experience what you did.
> Ah Redfin,

Asking them to leave? Are they awkwardly trying to avoid the word "layoff"?

6% sounds better than 8%.

> For the next few hours, managers will call the people leaving

What happened to asking?
Borders on Windows 10 are ~1px wide and last time I looked they couldn't be tweaked to be thicker. There is a drop-shadow too, but that has hardly if any effect for white-on-black terminal windows.
I love Grafana, don't get me wrong, but I have the sensation they are now in that position where, companies that got a massive capital injection and, therefore, a massive increase of work power, release too much and too soon.

It doesn't have anything to do, of course, with the fact that this morning we suddenly found that all our dashboards stopped working because we were upgraded to Grafana v9, for which there is not a stable release nor documentation for breaking changes.

Luckily they rolled back our account.
It's hard to not imply some variant of coercion or force is at play, when it's either work for these big shady companies or starve to death, though.
This is a special way of being afraid
No trick dispels. Religion used to try,
That vast moth-eaten musical brocade
Created to pretend we never die,
And specious stuff that says No rational being
Can fear a thing it will not feel, not seeing
That this is what we fear—no sight, no sound,
No touch or taste or smell, nothing to think with,
Nothing to love or link with,
The anaesthetic from which none come round.

— Philip Larkin, Aubade

> To be honest, I've always felt like our CS course was inferior. For example, I did a Computer Graphics course, but we didn't even implement line drawing algorithms.

I'll be honest, it might be.

Outside of a few universities I place very little value in foreign degrees. Unless someone has any experience at a credible company or a real portfolio, I won't be interested. The reason being that the signal to noise ratio is just too low.

My best advice would be to come to the US and get a masters degree from a reputable University. It will help fill the gap.

> I can't solve the "easy" problems on LeetCode

These are aimed at first year CS students. I've seen people solve these after only completing the intro to programming class at their college. Not being able to complete those after completing a "degree", to me, is an indication that there were serious gaps in said degree.

Leetcode shouldn't be very hard for anyone who completed a serious algorithm and data structure class, along with a intro to discreet math.
Right, Total Cookie Protection has been baking for a while to try to minimize that kind of breakage, and we're already in discussions with other browser vendors and companies to get everyone onboard on the Privacy CG.

In a nutshell, adding new case-specific web APIs seems to be the likely way forward here. There are proposals floating around like an "is logged in" API, the Federated Credential Management API, and so on.

I'm not sure there's ever going to be a perfect solution for everything, but I would certainly rather have users more informed and empowered about their privacy than they currently are (even if some folks prefer to just "allow all").

I guess we'll just have to wait and see which proposals win out, and in the meantime rely on heuristic-based solutions like Total Cookie Protection to iteratively get us to a better place.
Many of those "Big Sur" changes came to Gnome first, I remember my first impression of the design changes being "Looks like Gnome"
this is why I plan to retire asap even if it means having to reduce expenses. lifestyle creep is a real thing.
I really like how HN submissions work and thought about building a platform where the entire purpose is to create threads like those on HN but with the goal of being linked to one's blog or website or whatever else. I'm thinking of it like a linktree but for threads. Are you aware of anything like that that already exists?

Anyway reading the comments I'm not sure how much the proportion between your links/other links is ok to not get banned.
One way I try to explain it to people: "We give people insulin because they have diabetes. Diabetes is the disease, but you can cure it through diet and exercise for Type 2 (it's environmental), Type 1 you cannot (it's genetic). Insulin treats the disease, but doesn't cure it"

Why is it not the same for ADHD or depression? Type 1 is genetic and Type 2 is environmental.

The argument I was attempting to make is different from what everyone here is saying I think. What is a disease?

> Disease - a condition of the living animal or plant body or of one of its parts that impairs normal functioning and is typically manifested by distinguishing signs and symptoms

Two points:

1. I would argue that what you describe isn't impairing normal function. It's that we are attempting to make you do abnormal things (sit in a room all day and be lectured at. At the end you have an exam). Society is failing to raise children properly and expecting things that are abnormal for the human animal.

2. A disease is basically diagnosed from a bucket of symptoms. Those symptoms will have different causes. Without taking a measured approach at identifying the causes, you are likely going to see a plethora of factors. These can and do include things like hyperactivity from siting and watching TV (now they have energy and want to move). Things of that nature.

Given the above, we're effectively medicating children for personal / societal reasons, not because the human animal is actually suffering or impaired in any way.
Yep. Fortunately I don't live in the same state as my baseball team anymore. So I watch just about all their games through MLB.tv. Would be so frustrating if I lived near my team though.
>U.S. Soccer is a joke

U.S. male Soccer is a joke*

I urge anyone curious about this topic to go and look how the US female soccer team performs globally, it truly speaks about how the US has a bad soccer team simply because all the talent is funneled elsewhere
The top Danish team is 102nd, and we barely lost our semifinal at the Euros in 2021. National league quality is not the same as talent pool quality. Especially not when cohesion is what truly matters in national teams. Just take a look at how France has performed in the last 4 Nations League games, even with their top-class players.
I'm tempted to ask what languages you're using and what has your best experience with them been like.

Because as messy as Java is, refactoring codebases in it that have been kept alive for close to a decade is surprisingly not madness-inducing (most of the time), at least in some of the sane frameworks. Apart from, you know, legacy projects basically killing your career in the long term.

I'm not sure what other language I'd feel comfortable with changing how some method works across 50 other places that call it and have the IDE do most of the heavy lifting.

Yes, I have Stockholm syndrome, probably. Yes, I'd prefer to retire to planting potatoes in a farm, rather than work with NullPointerExceptions.
I haven't bought a RyanAir ticket in a long time, so details are fuzzy, but as far as I recall they make you pay not just for checked luggage but even for hand luggage (who flies without any bag at all??) and if I remember correctly they even charge extra if you want to sit next to your family members. It's ridiculous.

And, in particular, most players enjoy AI that is just smart enough to be challenging, but no smarter. Players feel OK losing to an enemy player that outguns them or gets lucky, but very few enjoy feeling stupid because they were outsmarted by a program that had fewer resources than them but played better.
Real GDP has to shrink for it to be a recession. GDP in the United States is currently growing strongly. The Conference Board is not predicting a recession in the U.S. in 2022, and they just updated their forecasts a few days ago.
Yes but I interview for a role where we dont have set languages: we're a small optimisation team working across system when they reach capacity bottleneck and we do JS, C#, Java, C++, PL/SQL fixes completely transparently, we've slowly learned that languages really dont matter all that much for performance tuning as much as programmers mishandling which are identical in all of them (hash map loops, abusive recursion, over abstraction leading to extreme indirection, serialization laziness producing giant message transfers, database transaction mismanagement, zero profiling skills, and the main one: please stop frigging saying it's the garbage collector and look at your crap for real lol).

When we recruit we ask "if we tell you no more Spring and we'll work on any language as long as there's a problem to solve, how do you feel". Most either say they d feel horribly sad, or dont even comprehend how it's possible. Some are indifferent because they need the job. Still looking for the guy that says "anything can be learned in a reasonable amount of time" so it s not that obvious I suppose :(
Some crypto collapsing does not mean it is a recession. The exploding prices for real goods and less and less people being able to afford basic things are the indicator for that.
I was a season ticket holder of a club that kept bringing in the older stars. Frankly, it was frustrating as a fan that wanted to see their team do well in the MLS Cup & US Open Cup. I was a ticket holder during one US Open Cup win and elimination in the semi finals of an MLS Cup run. The team did both without retiring international stars.

My perspective on the big money stars coming in is that it's a huge financial drain on the team for around 1/2-3 years of performance by the star. Yes, MLS has designated players (DPs), but last I looked, the first $500k in salary still counts towards the team's salary cap. I'm not sure what the salary cap is this year, but even if they've doubled it from the last time I paid attention, it'd only be $5M... It's a huge chunk of change relative to the rest of the team for not a lot of performance. Teams would largely be better off finding and growing youth talent than brining in another DP.

I finally gave up on my tickets after nearly 15 years because it was apparent the team wasn't interested in winning cups anymore. Ownership just wanted to fill the stadium with whatever retiring star they could get their hands on.
So I guess it's good they didn't onboard a bunch of new hires (despite the promises made to them) while laying off a ton of existing employees. Probably should have seen this coming based on the way they handled the new hire issue. This next move was the forcing function.
> I see people bully others in offices for every company I have ever worked with and at

IME bullying -- actual bullying, not power contests or nasty office politics -- isn't even remotely normal in office settings.

> The true solution to getting bullied is to...

...ignore it if isn't serious or tell an adult if it is serious.

> fight back ferociously

Anything physical is de facto serious and should be dealt with via adults and not between children; at least in my bubble, physical violence between school-aged children is rare and taken very seriously. A bully physically harming other children would receive a serious punishment, the parents would be in the loop, and the school counselor would be heavily involved with that child for the remainder of the school year.

Anything systemic and sustained, or targeting immutable attributes, is also de facto serious.

It's possible that things are different in your social environments, but "bullying" as I understood it as a kid is no longer even remotely socially acceptable.
