Haruki Murakami for me too. Hayao Miyazaki and Shigero Miyamoto probably complete the triumvirate. Moreso than any novel or the short stories in the New Yorker, it was Murakami simply writing himself as this Tokyo Drifter character re-discovering zen through jazz and surrealism ;)

Treasury Market Dares Fed to Step Up Rate Hikes or Risk Inflation Defeat
A lot of these high-end schools have been working to crack down on forms of risk, at the cost of a huge amount of fun and personal discovery. The issues is, this has happened for kids all the way down to when they are toddlers. People need to be able to be in risky, crazy, abnormal situations; it's part of growing up and figuring out who you are. This will only push it later in life, when the risks are far higher, and/or will just have even more uncreative drones.
On the contrary I think they're good again; they own Atlus and the Yakuza series which are very popular, and some smaller things like Project Diva. Although I think Atlus's games are kind of shallow and relying on teenage edginess lately, Persona 5 feels like they wanted to be about relevant societal issues but only researched them by watching TV dramas.

Sonic games are consistently bad, but they've always been like that, and the main appeal of the series is wondering why its fans are so weird. (ie just think of any word X and google "X the Hedgehog" and you'll get strange fetish art)
Yeah, typo, too late to edit. Insufficient exposure to bright light during key, early years while the eye is developing was found to increase risk so much that it's practically all that matters, at least over a population (I'm sure some unlucky people get it for other reasons, like most things)
That’s a bit of a non-statement. I’m a big proponent of systems thinking. But in the case of the Republicans, they always like to bring up the “other side” to justify their extremist positions. As if the political spectrum could be placed on a 1D axis, the Republicans like to bring up Democrats as just the opposing opinion. It’s like saying, “look we’re just right of the Democrats and they’re left of us”, without acknowledging that the Republican Party is damn near right of everything and everyone else on this axis. They’re an extremist group who like to soften the perspective of their positions and policies by pointing to the other side. They literally threw their former presidential candidate and state governor under the bus because he was the only one who acknowledged Trump’s instruction as an assault on America.

So, in fact, systems thinking would indeed say to pay strong attention to extremists. It’s the thinking that we keep treating the Republican Party as just another party, the way that they like it while they get away with whatever, is how we have got here.
Ofc and I left France the day I realized it was impossible. Not because of the high roller bankers but because the people literally cannot accept a balanced budget to live within our means.

Now Im in Hong Kong, where as you know the people have little say and slogans like "5 demands not one less" is not met with fear like in France, but with police aggression. But, we have a balanced budget. We had a record tax revenue this year if you can believe it. All problems are simpler when you have a surplus, even at the individual level.

So I'm happy but people here envy France where the street can clawback what's hers even at credit...

Note that there are probably just as many economists that said rates were too high. After all the target inflation rate was 2-3% yet the inflation was under 2%. That translates into hundreds of people unnecessarily out of work.
Yeah, performance advanced much faster then. That 601->G4 was a 5x clockspeed jump that was way more than 5x faster in certain areas, too!

That's a computer that came out in 1994 upgraded with a processor from 1999.

Even if you could put a 2022 chip in a 2017 Mac laptop, it wouldn't be the same sort of improvement.

IMO this slowdown in the pace of single-component improvements is what has killed upgradability - buying a computer in the 90s, you knew that within a generation or two you'd probably be looking at at least a doubling in general-purpose or capacity, applicable-everywhere performance within the same socket/graphics card interface/hard drive/memory interfaces. So not having component upgradability, like, say, in some eMachines without an AGP port, was a big limiting factor for the usable lifespan, in a way it just isn't anymore.
I use an LG 42.5" monitor that didn't have all the TV junk. Instead it has a single USB-C I can connect and use as a hub for kb+mouse. It also has Display port and 2 HDMI inputs (and maybe a dilplayport out that I don't know how to use).

One mode I find useful for casual gaming is the 2560x1440 @59.9 Hz which uses native pixels and results in a very usable gaming view with huge distraction-free black matte border.

You may not be the sort of person who fills out their Facebook profile with details like age, marital status, what high school you went to, hometown, but there are hundreds of millions who do.

OCSP has a fundamental weakness that it can’t be allowed to fail open, because the same attacker that can MITM a certificate can simulate a network outage for the OCSP check.

my old take is that money as such is a long-tailed weighted average between physical energy & mental energy (energy needed to modify belief structure & spring action). Attention is just the 'write head' to direct that energy. The interesting thing is that if physical energy becomes cheap as in we went from animals->wood->coal->petroleum->(maybe)solar->(possibly)fusion then its reasonable that money as a representation of change/energy only leans heavier on the human side.

I dont see this as inherently bad but actually a sign of progress. the things I detest are basically perversions of attention related to some hack in our attention mechanism, for instance businesses that exploit peoples gambling addiction (or addiction of any kind).
It's happening to engineering firms too? The great duopoly America is coming swiftly.
It is absolutely impossible to take this article seriously, because the author refuses to acknowledge the un-fucking-believably fraught legacy that the Greek fraternity system has, at Stanford and at every other school.

> Driven by a fear of uncontrollable student spontaneity and a desire to enforce equity on campus

Oh, yeah, Stanford’s really afraid of “student spontaneity.”

They’re definitely not afraid of organizations that:

- ritualize physical and mental abuse

- force people to consume dangerous amounts of drugs and alcohol

- institutionalize racism, classism, and misogyny

- protect - and encourage! - sexual assaulters

Fraternities aren’t all bad. Fraternity brothers aren’t all bad. I was one, and I met some of the best friends of my life. But that also means I know just how fucking bad it gets, even now (2016-2020).

Yeah, sucks, you don't get to live in a big fun house and pull Animal House-style pranks any more. You lost your privileges after killing a fucking kid.

Ok. They all owned huge chunks of the globe, in as much as ownership was allowed by their European masters. Their worth cannot be translated into modern money.

> This is like a junk bond.

More like a HYIP feeder fund, and considering reports that they were investing in things like Luna/Anchor it sounds like a fair description.

Madoff had feeder funds too, they're critical to reach the entire market-- as there are people who won't invest in the HYIPs directly but will once they've been laundered through a middleman who reduces the yield, making them somewhat more plausible.

Has anyone interviewed anyone in the administration to figure out what their thinking was with the enactment of these policies? More importantly, who was responsible, and how did they get put in that position of authority?

Just do what we tell you or get cancelled.
I think the idea of attention being commodity is mostly looked at through a pejorative lens but I wonder if it's the beginning of the next stage of human evolution were boredom no longer has value and maybe thats a good thing?

I haven't thought about this alot and I'm very curious shat other on here might think about this idea.
It's easier to make that decision if you've already made a bunch of money. Pretty hard to do that if you have no money.
> LUMI gets all of its electricity from 100 percent renewable hydroelectric power.

100% pure greenwashing bullshit at a guess. Power usage has gone up in Finland, and that extra power does not come from hydroelectricity, because all[1] the hydroelectric power is already used domestically. Instead the extra power usually comes from non-renewable sources.

I am guessing they signed an agreement with a hydroelectric producer to buy “hydroelectric” electricity, fungibly delivered over the transmission network. Even if they got the electricity delivered directly from hydro, that would leave a network shortfall to be filled by non-renewables.

Avoiding aircon is good, and the heat reuse is good since it presumably reduces non-renewable resource use by domestic heating.

Yeah, I'm being salty, but at the same gcc is notoriously unapproachable while also struggling to pull in new blood. Considering the long, but sporadic update history [1] of this documentation, I am not optimistic about this effort turning it around. Seems more likely to become yet another one of the out of date or incomplete tutorials lying around [2]. GCC's own contribution docs [3] cop to the fact that most new contributors are doing paid work on behalf of chip and system designers, so for GCC's sake I hope it remains the must have compiler for new chips because that seems to be its main source of fresh blood at this point. This blog post [4] from a GCC and autotools developer popped up on here a month ago, and while it doesn't address GCC, if you squint I think you can apply most of the criticisms to GCC as well.

It’s practically impossible to donate to campaigns in a meaningful way, especially with the limits on donations removed. Imagine you got 1 million people to donate $10 to a specific candidate, which is a very overly optimistic outlook.

I would repeat user Aaronstotle's comment that smaller teams are likely not the right audience for these levels of compliance.

When it does become a concern, I think this post [0] put out by Latacora (no affiliation) is a great starting guide, although it is bent towards SOC 2 compliance. All of the items they mention are concrete wins for the business from a compliance/security perspective. The process of implementing just a few can help you better realize if your business is going to be able to muster the time and effort needed to continually work towards these standards, or if the business value isn't there yet.

You could also say freedom of speech has limits, like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater. If someone starts a mob, knowingly or unknowingly, encourages a mob, or information thereof is found to be incorrect it would make sense if there were consequences.

This actually seems like solid advice for communicating, generally -- I don't get the feeling that this is overly-sensitive to not offending people.

> Avoid using specialized or technical terms without defining them.

I try to do this even when speaking to technical individuals. It may make things more verbose but I appreciate it when others simplify as much as possible.

> Including humor [risks confusing, irritating or insulting people]

I have definitely seen jokes by myself or others completely fall flat, get misinterpreted or derail conversations.

I could see how the Human Interface Guidelines[1] do feel a bit overboard in trying to be politically correct when you realize these are just suggestions for creating apps. But if app developers used most of the advice more frequently I feel like apps generally would be higher quality. Like, why not try to keep things simple and language as kind as possible?

it shouldn't have to be normal. ideally your partner is supporting you especially in times like this. you should be able to share with your wife what OP shared with HN. if he had, the result might have been to not only get a new job but get a job in a different location, with a new, bigger house. it's more work to pull that off, and not something they could have done while the relationship is sour, but possible if they work together.

big life decisions should never be made alone. OP came here to help make his decision, which is better than deciding all by himself but consulting with his wife would have been better still.
Sounds like an easy job, just print money and punt the problem down the line.
This is a red flag with regard to privacy. I have a feeling that they will push this sort of login the same way that they pushed 2FA, except the only difference being that for 2FA you can get different phone numbers and not compromise on privacy. In the case of biometrics, this makes it so that anonymity no longer exists

But in what way does this do any better than 2FA security wise, aside from convenience? imo 2FA is already overkill. I think the real reason they want this is it makes it easier to push federated login, easier to connect data points to a single identity for advertising.

My stance on this is that I refuse to use any sort of biometric login or service. I refuse to use any product that has it as a strict requirement
It doesn't add as much overhead as you might expect because the fixture data is inserted into the database without instantiating any ActiveRecord models. Unless you're loading a truly crazy amount of fixtures (gigabytes?), the database can ingest all the data in single-digit milliseconds.
> The other two languages I’ve used mostly in recent decades are Java and Ruby and the profiler situation is for both those languages is kind of shitty. I had to pay real money to get the Java profiler I used at AWS and while it worked, it was klunky, not fun to use.

These days, async profiler (https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/async-profiler) is much better than the Go tooling for performance. It is a joy to use and features a top-like view for the hottest methods. It works for locks, allocations and CPU time. It also integrates with JMH.

Yeah when I read that sentence, it's a big red flag that the author has no idea what they're talking about. They're likely just rehashing something a friend told them after watching a TED Talk.

If you set an advertising campaign that specific, you're going to get no impressions. Researchers keep using these examples of "disturbing levels of specificity" of Facebook targeting. No advertisers actually do this. They're too lazy and they want volume. They do plenty of other disturbing things but this is not one of them.
This is the primary danger. The Republicans have become an extremist group, pulling the entire country into more and more extreme positions, labeling what amounts to middle of the road moderate policies as socialism and communism.

And even this idea of the words socialism and communism being bad is a mislabeling they’ve been successful in deploying. It’s as if public school, libraries, roads, etc. are somehow bad.
I was in the co-ops and also a frat in the early 2010's. I knew about XOX, SAE, and KA but not theta delt or sigma chi -- let alone french house, slav, haus mitt, or casa italiana. Aside from undergrads, the school will miss out, too -- my pledge class founded thirteen companies in the few years after graduation, and I hired several friends from EBF for my own -- but the administration will probably never realize what they've done to the undergraduate culture. This is really sad news; I hope the rest of the co-ops escape -- most of the housing options are extremely uninspiring to actively anti-social and not great for mental health, as the article points out.

Switzer mentioned higher rates of miscarriage, stillbirth, learning disabilities and asthma among the children of veterans as well. “All you vets out there, we need you to get your medical records and give them to your family. And us — we need to put down on our own medical records that our husband or father was in Vietnam and exposed to Agent Orange,” she said.
