Personally, I enjoy working with the SAFE stack [1]. Altough, it may not be quite what you are looking for. Other than taht, ASP.net may very well be a good choice, definitely more traditional. [2]

Or the tried and tested LAMP/LEMP stacks may very well be good choices for you.

I must admit though, that my knowledge in this area is rather limited, so give a lot of scrutiny to my suggestions.

Yeah, it's almost always about money. People do not want to pay, it's that simple.

They don't want to admit it, therefore they often come up with varying arguments such as "the changes comes too fast, hassle to change, you promised it would be free forever, etc)...
I sometimes say it for fun, but yeah, it’s weird. I worked very hard over multiple decades to acquire specific sets of skills that are hard to acquire. It’s fun to plunge into something and maybe joke about not knowing what you are doing, but the reality is if you spent as much time as I have and don’t actually know what you are doing that is very sad indeed.
"x++" is not equivalent to "x = !x", which is probably what they meant. OTOH, as you noted, "x--" does the right thing.
Can someone point out a known web page/service that uses WebAssembly?
It's interesting, how much this question is controversial. I also have had similar problem. It was a bit different, but similar. Much time passed, but I still can't understand who was right. But I also can't understand, why I was fired, and the manager stayed. Was it me who is wrong, or the manager?

I think it would be good to reach some kind of consensus. Is it okay for the manager to be rude and not listening to needs of developer?
this is why as a frontend developer. Im scared to deploy to aws. there so many things in the dashboard to get wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing. and I don’t know what I’m doing. I stick to digital ocean and netlify
Lucky you, I get visions of running on the school yard and tripping over, lol.
In this particular case, the word normies is just pointing out more that goblin mode is something an average person can end up.

According to the article goblins have the career path track, money is good mindset that most people have. They are just in a burnout. When they rise again out of that state, they will be career focused again like before, a.k.a. 'normie' in this article.
The article talks about Gnome mode as the alternative track when moving on from the goblin mode .
Well, but Germans were most definitely targeted: The disabled, for example, the homosexuals, the homeless, the mentally sick, the vocal critics…
This is not to say Germans were not the perpetrators, but that they weren’t targeted is factually wrong.

Edit: I’m sorry, I just read your comment again, and realised I misunderstood. I still feel those marginalised groups get overlooked often; the Nazis didn’t specifically select for Germans, but for „pure“ aryans, which excluded lots of different groups.

Could we rely prove that anything is conscious, beyond ourselves? I mean, if in the future humans manage to run a full human brain simulation and put a person in a computer, how could we ever be confident that this simulated person experiences consciousness in the same way we do and is not just a blob of computations that mimic it? Imagine a sci-fi doomsday scenario where virtual words are created and they are awesome, so people "move" there from their physical body but it turns out that no one is really alive, it's one giant conscious-less computation going around that appears 100% real.
I think the problem stem from the author’s definition of computation. He has defined it around the state of a Turing machine, which is vastly insufficient.

The important part of a Turing machine is that of the behavior: given a certain state, the next state is a result of the current instruction on the tape.

It is easy to imagine identifying some mapping from a Turing machine state and an iron bar. However, mapping the next state to a valid state transition of the same Turing machine seems quite unlikely, graduating to impossible, as the Turing machine executed.

Said another way, a program is not its memory dump.
I think it may have to do with relative noise levels, when snoozing on the couch I get more sensitive to other people's noise sometimes, but that's also because it would be relatively quiet before.

It might be a survival mechanism, now you mention it.
> Capital One, which is one of 30 institutions hacked by Thompson

AKA: Capital One left customer data in a publically available s3 bucket.

I'm not defending what this "hacker" did at all but this is 100% the company's fault. That $270M? That's from fines and settling a class action by their customers. Again, not defending the hacker but all the hacker really did was shine a light on this (doesn't appear they sold/used the data unless I'm missing something).
(Not the parent)

I think that I would be quite good as a teacher, and would enjoy the act of teaching motivated and interested student. However I have enough friends/relatives who are working "capital-T" Teachers to know that actually working in a school is a completely different prospect. Between poor management, ever-changing demands/requirements from politicians/government and terrible parents the actual job of teaching can be a lot less rewarding that people might think.

It's kind of like how some people really love coding, and like playing games so they think "I'll become a games developer and I'll love my job" only to be crushed by the actual process of games development in a sweatshop games company. Or the difference between loving to draw and being a professional designer churning out bullshit for some corporate client.

I wouldn't recommend anyone interested in technical work go the path of management.

A CTO at even a small software company that is writing code is doing their job wrong if they aren't quickly evolving into a role where they don't even touch code.

I've been in multiple management roles at multiple places and, with one exception, the role is much more about managing expectations of leadership and playing political games to make sure your team survives. ICs have some dream that management is about being a technical leader and guiding IC work, but, in practice, this is a very tiny part of the role. The only exception to this I've seen is managers that are grown internally. But if you're coming from outside to lead a team, it's going to be upper management that hires you and upper management that you end up doing most of your work for.

I've known a surprisingly large number of ex-finance people that got "Jira jobs" and they quite enjoy it. Most people leaving finance have very large savings stored so they have a fair bit of extra comfort in knowing that if the job ever starts to really suck, they can just walk out the door. On top of that mindlessly solving problems and getting to check out with only 3-5 hours of work is exactly what many of them want.
I think there is no official indication that there are permanent side effects but to me it sounds rather unlikely that there are none. You cannot stop your body from growing either, that would be the discovery of the century, and while you can suppress puberty by blocking some hormones produced in your brain, your sexual and other organs probably don't develop normally. At some point they will stop growing forever.

Anabolics were steroids that were used to increase performance in sports since it works similar to testosterone. Here it was the other way around, more hormones got administered, and people did have a very large number of side effects later in their lives and had to pay for it significantly.

I am no doctor but pretty sure that a doctor that flat-out denies the possibilities of such side effects aren't good ones either. Discovering them is a long process, so careless administration of such drugs seems irresponsible. If there is no clause for exclusion for side effects I would seek litigation.
> A simulation of a brain cannot produce consciousness any more than a simulation of the weather can produce rain.

What's wrong with the rain though? A perfect simulation of rain is perfect rain. It's not rain in the outside world but it's perfect rain nonetheless.

A perfect simulation of brain is a brain. It has consciousness, it can think, it can suffer, and you can exchange information with it if you want.
You seem to have done a switcheroo, from consciousness to free will.
I think the problem with general purpose social networks, is that they are general purpose.

HN, Goodreads, StackOverflow, they all have problems, but they basically work, I find them useful. HN has the least UI features, and works the best. What all three have in common is a narrower focus. Certain kinds of topics are relevant, most topics are excluded. That's why they work.

I wish Orkut the best of luck, but I don't think luck is enough. To get a productive social network, it needs to have a more well defined purpose than "be social". The problem with Facebook, Twitter, etc. is not fundamentally their software (though that has plenty of problems), because Goodreads has plenty of software problems. The main determinant of whether or not a social network is useful, is if it has a well-defined use case. It is not a coincidence or bad luck or even bad software that causes general purpose social networks to descend to the lowest common denominator of conversation.

It's important to note that elements in Ukraine since 2014 pushed a series of oppressive legal restrictions on the Russian-speaking segment of the population that were designed to push that entire group into second-class citizen status.

> (2019) "The law, which obliges all citizens to know the Ukrainian language and makes it a mandatory requirement for civil servants, soldiers, doctors, and teachers, was championed by outgoing President Petro Poroshenko."

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/may/21/ukraine-bans-s...

> (2015) "Dunja Mijatović, the representative for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe on freedom of the media, said the “broadly and vaguely defined language” in the anti-communist law “could easily lead to suppression of political, provocative and critical speech, especially in the media”. The US Holocaust Memorial Museum also condemned the independence-fighter legislation."

Imagine, for comparison, if a right-wing government in Washington tried to make all Spanish-speaking U.S. citizens second-class citizens, while incorporating the KKK into the military forces of the United States, as Ukraine did with the Nazi revivalist group Azov Battalion? These are the kind of actions that led to the rise of Russian separatist movements in eastern Ukraine and Crimea, and which Putin ultimately used as part of his political justification for the invasion of Ukraine.

The situation is now so completely embittered that it's hard to see a resolution where the Russian-speaking population in eastern Ukraine and Crimea would ever agree to exist under the control of a western Ukrainian government.
Most companies will run a mile from someone who buys a domain and attempts to bring negative publicity out of revenge. While claiming it to be therapy! Maybe their story is accurate, maybe it isn't - either way, that sort of behaviour is an unnecessary risk for the employer.
I tried Visual Studio Code in this release and it doesn't work. Never opens. Tried this old suggestion https://www.reddit.com/r/chromeos/comments/m146zd/visual_stu... and the only change I see is that visual studio progress and trying to run until it doesn't after a few minutes.
That consciousness is not an emergent property? We can manipulate neurons in real time to modify consciousness, I don't follow your line of reasoning
I think this comment is a comforting fiction as well. Of course "no one knows what they're doing" isn't literally 100% true - it's just hyperbole. The essence of the message remains: the vast majority of people only know just enough to survive (and that's okay!). Survive well enough, long enough, and fortune may favor you.
Objectively, yes. A bunch of things in a q.bio report made it hard to do that self-rationalizing thing where "it's not great but probably fine" - i.e. high LDL ratio, high liver fat, etc.

Much happier at BMI ~21 and if I knew this path was viable I would have done it 5 years ago.
If by "nowadays" you mean two decades ago up through now and by "everyone" you mean Larry Wall and the Perl community then I guess so.
That's risky, even if it helped you lose weight. I had a former colleague who had a long fast, he ended up losing hair and he had serious joint issues for a long while after that - it caused damage, and I'm not sure he made a full recovery.
> and I do agree that the Romandie gets treated like a second class citizen.

Does that mean Ticino is a third-class citizen?
Did that with Show HN, attracted minimum responses (2 comments). Tried to do that with Reddit too, but thing is, in most subreddits this is considered spam, so it's hard to do.
>PFOS—perfluorooctanesulfonic acid—is referred to as a forever chemical, because it accumulates in soil, rivers, and drinking water and is almost impossible to get rid of. She had about 300 micrograms of it per liter in her blood, more than 60 times the level recommended as safe today by the European Union.

Almost impossible, but not impossible. It has been found that giving blood (and then throwing that blood away) significant reduces PFOS levels. Not that I'm defending 3M or any of this. My favorite rivers where I fish turned out to be full of PFOS due to a leaking 3M waste dump and this was only announced in 2021. So I spent some time looking for solutions.

What I was trying to say was that there are very valid reasons that mean I cannot and should not turn my attention to a distant project while I have my hands full right now. It doesn't mean I'll never do it, but it does mean that "I don't know right now, I need to complete some work before I can turn my attention to this properly" is not only a reasonable response but ultimately the correct one, rather than throwing out a number that I'll possibly be held to at a future date.
Yes, I'm angry at slack. No other messaging system I've used does this..
I don't understand how this would be an escape hatch though. If some sort of quantum randomness is essential for the emergence of consciousness, it could be incorporated into an algorithm as well. It wouldn't be strictly deterministic, but why would that matter?

Maybe I'm missing something.

It depends how you define social media. There is a lot out there.

Personally, I'm not tired of reddit, and I have been using it for more than 10 years now. I'm not really sure if reddit really is a social media. I know I can't use facebook/instagram/twitter/etc. Although it's true that it's up to users to filter all the toxic places of reddit.

I still believe it's possible to improve social media, reduce toxicity, avoid outsides influencers, not make it about money, etc. It's hard work, but that's why the internet is not always a cesspool.
Or they could've asked an OTC desk or market maker to provide sufficient liquidity...

"We might break Solana" sounds like a bad excuse, plenty of options to mitigate that. Might not even be a concern anymore.
Came here to say this too. Huge fan of semantic line breaks, both for VCS and for the eyes (makes it easier to parse the structure of a document)
> "Battery life" usually means how long will battery last, before you need to replace it.

No, it does not. "Battery life" means how long the device lasts on a fully charged battery before it needs recharging.

What you were thinking of is called "battery lifespan" or sometimes "battery longevity", or even "battery cycles".
I think the problem needs to be thought through separately for individuals and for organisations.

For individuals -- yes, no-one knows what they are doing. Most people, including successful ones, are too embarrassed or insecure to admit this. The world is divided into ones that understand this and ones that do not.

For organisations -- no, that is not true. Some organisations accept the above limitation and rather than ignore it, try to build systems that take it into account. My company does this -- CEO knows this, senior leadership knows this, we are working together accepting our individual limitations and trying to find ways to work around them. We hate internal politics and put premium on being honest about problems or capabilities.

Unfortunately this does not seem to work for governments. Governments is all about politics, all about image. It is not fundamentally incompatible with being honest about ones limitations but in practice very close to being so.
"We" as opposed to "they" is a bit problematic here. Apple, too, consists of people who have contributed to building the society, they're not some alien overlords from outer space.

You're right that there's no proof that consciousness can be explained by biological function alone. But my belief is that the preponderance of the evidence makes it the most likely explanation by far.

> You can demonstrate that humans react (and quite predictably) to weather - when it rains, they take their umbrellas out, when there's a hurricane, they seek for shelter, and so on. It's not evidence that human behaviour is an emergent property of weather and nothing else.

In the literature, there's a term "necessary and sufficient" which is used quite often. For instance, destroying a certain percentage of a certain type of dopamine receptors is necessary and sufficient to produce parkinsons-like symptoms in rats.

Rain can be demonstrated to make people take umbrellas out, but it's not sufficient. Sometimes it rains and people don't take umbrellas out. It's also not necessary, sometimes people take out umbrellas when it's too sunny. So it's hard to establish that strong causal relationship between rain and umbrellas.

With consciousness, we can't point to a single example of human consciousness which is not at the same place at the same time as a reasonably well-functioning human brain. We can't prove 100% that it's sufficient, but it certainly seems to be necessary, and there's zero evidence so far it's not sufficient.

> The big question persists: how does it happen that a computational system, no matter how complex, FEELS something?

This is actually fairly well understood. So if you are talking about "feeling" in the sense of emotion, we actually have a very detailed understanding of how that system works.

So some of our lower brain regions are responsible for preparing our body for action. For instance, if you've been bitten by a dog before, your brain might learn to get your body ready to run when there is a large dog around. Your sympathetic nervous system will kick in when your visual cortex detects the right patterns, and elevate your heart rate, quicken your breathing, and cause your hairs to stand on end.

So your emotions are essentially a sense which observes that type of sympathetic arousal in your body. Your emotional systems will notice that your body has entered flight-or-fight mode, and will interpret that based on your context and memories to signal to your higher brain function that you are experiencing fear or anxiety.

So that's just one example, but it's extremely plausible to me that consciousness/subjective experience is either just the sum total of all these functions the brain is performing, or is some emergent property on top of them, or else is even some highly specialized function of some subsystem of the brain we don't fully understand yet.

For instance there are credible arguments that the thalamus is the seat of consciousness in the brain.
Interesting, I assumed the roads were not going to change frequently (but rather, in bursts). So I used that premises to develop my algo. To enforce this behavior (on a code level), I will be adding a "planning" mode, where roads can be placed freely/frequently. Once the user sends the plan off to be constructed, then the graph will update. I may go one step further and have construction (i.e. graph updating) only happen at night, and give the user something else to do while its updating.

That being said, if they have a modern machine, then there will be no need for this at all (just need to figure out the avg user CPU GHz & core count). It takes 10 seconds for my algo to find the all pairs/all possible shortest paths between two nodes on my machine for 10,000 nodes, which by that point is a HUGE city.

The reason I did not go with A* is because it doesn't scale to 100K+ units and it always chooses the same path.

It doesn't really say what the hydrogen storage scheme is for these trucks. It's my understanding that highly pressurized tanks are bad for applications like this because they leak (hydrogen is the smallest atom/molecule) and they are a explosion risk in the case of an accident or leak. It's been a while since I've looked into this but there was work being done to "charge" a carbon container with hydrogen than could then be released in a manner similar to a battery but without as much of a leak or explosion risk. Since nothing was made of it in this press release I am guessing they were using standard pressurized hydrogen gas tanks.
Legitimate? Yes.

Effective? Rarely, if ever.

I think that is the main issue here. Big corporations love to keep the meme around that "Government regulation" is a legitimate action, because they know how ineffective it is.

If it were up to them, we might be spend our whole lives trying to craft the perfect law, constantly re-iterating in a game of cat-and-mouse against $current_malpractice_du_jour, but at the end of the day it is all pointless because people are not going to wait and just use Facebook anyway.
I have backups from Google Takeout, email in my own domain, and I use Linux on my laptop. I'm about as independent as you reasonably can but let's not pretend I could actually easily replace Google Photos, Maps, or Android. That grade of software simply doesn't currently exist outside of the big tech.

More than that: Photos+Maps+Timeline combo doesn't even exist at Apple. Google is strictly far and the best choice for quite a few functionalities I cherish and a move to iCloud would be a downgrade. Not to mention the expense of buying new devices.

I wouldn't really lose access to anything but my digital life would be greatly diminished.
