The emotional regulation part looks promising to me. How does that kind of journaling look like to help with that?
I understand the underlying sentiment, but this is an awfully aggressive way to get your point across. The irony is that we tend to be aggressive when we're triggered due to unresolved traumas in ourselves -- which we then pass on to our own kids.

I'm not here to psychoanalyze you, but food for thought.
Sure, but as soon as you have that single failure, your system isn't flawless anymore.

First off, thank you for posting all your great articles on Vale!

Second off, I just read the generational references blog post for the 3rd time and now it makes complete sense, like stupid obvious why did I have problems understanding this before sense. (PS: The link to the benchmarks is dead :( )

I hope some of the novel ideas in Vale make it out to the programming language world at large!
I have literally thousands of bookmarks in Firefox that I use for their keyword aliases and manage by regex. But I don't think that's what you meant.

I also have several hundred "normal" bookmarks across several folders. Documentation, Hobby, "randomly cool," etc. But I definitely lose a lot of content that I wish I didn't.

Back on topic, are you in favor of releasing language models if it means we won't be able to prevent the Russians from using them for propaganda for example?

As long as we're going on tangents, according to the Zach Vorhies leak, Google censors lots and lots of topics for blatantly political reasons[1].

This is just naive. Government offices/agencies are so tightly coupled with packages like office 365 that forcefully separating them would require home built solutions which would always be terrible, less secure, and more expensive to the tax payer. There’s a lot of good these products can provide, granted they are properly audited and have high security requirements.
> I suppose they can't just shut it down because the government threatens to nationalize Yandex in response

They can destroy equipment, safely delete all the code repositories etc. beforehand, thus rendering the company useless before the nationalization. But $$$ is more important.

> Can you please show any public statement from Yandex from which one could derive that?

Yandex pays tens/hundreds of millions in taxes and thus finances the war.
Then replace 1% of it at a time. This is extremely basic stuff if you have any genuine interest in actually doing it.
Well HN, how about a badge for links indicating whether it uses ga? We have to start somewhere don't we? Or we'll continue to see the web decline. Actually, from my PoV, it might be too late already. Maybe it's just me or people in EU being harassed with banner popups, but I hardly go to any link anymore, and so do many other people I know. It's just not worth it.
Same here. We’ve been using goaccess for years on a 300M hits a month. Self-host is the way to go for us.

I suspect harsher sentencing for possession of a gun during a crime is a deterrent, but I'm not invested enough in this conversation to try to find stats. I would also point out that in other countries with effective gun control - which is to say the rest of the civilized world - there isn't the expected rampage of gun crime your comments imply should be taking place due to gun laws only being effective against citizens but not potential criminals.
I mean, why not? Might as well throw in public GitLab instances while they're at it.

Back before CA legalized marijuana, thus putting in the limits on edibles, you could get some super-strong ones if you had a medical card. I recall a friend of mine buying 1500mg edibles that would put down most experienced smokers for two or three days. Said friend was going through one of those edibles per day, but those edibles also cost less than a 100mg edible does these days.

I definitely see your point -- who hasn't seen or heard of companies ruined by officious rulemakers with no clue, rules to make something more secure that do the exact opposite etc. I've seen my share.

But blanket-banning an obsolete and insecure hash algorithm isn't a bad thing, it's entirely reasonable. In this case, as the article makes clear, it's git that's at fault.
> I see no reason why a truly democratic and market-economy stable Russia could not become part of the EU.

EU had plenty of time to prove it and did no real steps towards integration. Trying to drive a wedge between Russia and its neighbours at the same time.

I'm not sure what membership in Council of Europe did for Russia. European Human Rights Court was somewhat visible but that's it.
There is no nuanced conversation when one participant asks a question and then vaguely hand-waves other comments while refusing to address the answer on how they're wrong about R0 goals with viral mandates.

This bad-faith pattern of behavior here is more to my original point about antivaxxers seeking to nobilize their own opinion as a matter of their identity, rather than being genuinely interested in discussing or investigating facts.

Ask HN: Turn recruiter emails into data for a site
I'm sure lots of us get recruiter emails (plus linkedin messages) multiple times a day. I learned years ago never to reply no matter how many times they keep asking for a reply... unless you want to engage. I'm not looking to change jobs right now so I ignore them all. But it's such interesting data. Has anyone else tried writing a little program to parse the urls, company description, industry, email domain, etc. and make a site with all the data?
Right click the video. Click the appropriate option. I forget what it’s labeled.
We can drop the 'almost'. If a pilot holds only a basic PPL, that means they aren't qualified for any flight in IMC.

These days it's common for PPL student pilots to undergo a little training under simulated IMC, but inadvertent VFR flight into IMC is an emergency condition and, if I understand correctly, is the top cause of fatal VFR aviation accidents.
>Received an equity investment of any amount (accelerator, angel, VC or web3 token);

I have a little web app that holds user-defined labels and text snippets. You can associate a variable amount of labels with a snippet. So I would put e.g. the name of the restaurant along with maybe who recommended it and add a couple tags like “to check out” and “restaurants”.

It was fairly easy to put together and I can access it from whatever computer or smart phone I’m using at any given time.
This is the other side of the classic XKCD "Tasks" (https://xkcd.com/1425/).

A non-technical person in 2014 (when the above was originally published) would likely have the same conception of the difficulty of recognizing a bird from an image as they would in 2022, even though the task itself has gone from near-insurmountable to off-the-shelf-library in eight years.

Even as Imagen and Dall-E 2 amaze us today, these feats will likely be commonplace in a few years. The non-technical may have only a vague sense that their new TikTok filter is doing something that was impossible only a few years prior.
> Rust is not mature enough to support ML out of the box ... If you want to serve your Xgboost or deep learning model then Rust is not the right choice (yet).

Would have liked to hear more about the parenthetical 'yet' even if its just links to other blog posts.
I think this is a bad idea or at least far too soon.

In my opinion the Rust language and eco system is not yet at
the stability of C.

I feel certain that mixing two different languages inside the kernel
will give all new and challenging errors to debug.

Also it is the fallacy of sunken cost.

So much work has gone into the Linux kernel, but efforts should be made
to replace it.

What I would like to see is a project to create a new and modern kernel,
taking a lot of what has been learned by the "prototype" Linux kernel and
create something new and better.

It would also be free to take full advantage of the language improvements
between Rust and C.

Sure it would take a lot of time, but I think it is time well invested, instead
of slowing trying to port the current Linux kernel to Rust.

Likewise, why would you imagine that an uninformed reader would see the word "plummet" and understand that none of these satellites are in immediate danger of re-entry, that they will in-fact continue to stay aloft for several more months, and that in this context plummet means an orbit decaying an order of magnitude faster than expected?

You are correct, one of the meanings of plummet is a rapid descent. These satellites are rapidly descending. You are correct.

Again, though, word choice matters. Can you see where other commenters and I are coming from?
My credit card expired last month and I forgot to update Netflix with the new one. They remind me every time I open Netflix, but I haven't bothered to update it, since there is nothing I really want to watch myself, but mostly because nobody in my family has complained yet.
Our definition of "exceptional scenarios" is clearly not the same... The list of scenarios in article 6 are common business operations covering a huge range of legitimate activities where processing might need to occur; there is little exceptional about them.
> If we do nothing, Canadians will be overwhelmed by the size of the American industry

I don't even follow popular music that closely, and yet I've found it astonishing how many popular music artists are Canadian. Drake, The Weeknd, Nickelback, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Shania Twain are just the ones I can name off the top of my head. Canada's population is smaller than California so it seems like it's punching above its weight.
All my life the only people I've heard going to the ER for weed are the people who got too high (usually via edibles) and just freaked out and called 911. I wonder if there are any physical indications of this illness, or if it's a name they've given to something they can't quite figure out.

There's several self-hosted solutions, as well as several GDPR-compliant SaaS solutions. They generally work pretty well; I've seen people set up, for example, Plausible, in a couple of hours on a cheap VPS.
We think this can get really big if we find a way to reach people who don’t currently work with an editor but would benefit immensely if they did. We believe most online writers fit into this category.

Can you elaborate more on why you don’t think having writing that performs better justifies the cost?

Example: you pay for our $99/month plan and over six months you write a 1,000-word post each month and submitted it on HN. If one of them ended up on the home page, you don’t think it would generate at least ~$600 in value for the author?

The manufacturer's YouTube videos describe that as crematorium, not incinerator. Also not sure if you have a command of Russian, but the video with burning the trash still has the narrator explaining its use for cremation of 'biological waste'. They obviously didn't want showing said waste in demonstration video.

Regarding the waste of resources, these are likely to use lower grade/bunker fuel. And as to priorities, remember Russia is the only country in the world that introduced a national standard for mass graves. In effect since February 1st this year: https://www.mchs.gov.ru/dokumenty/5693

Fascinating. I wonder why those two companies got singled out from all the rest of them.
You make the assumption that people who vape would smoke if they couldn't vape. If vaping was the only way to quit smoking I would agree with you.

But when I look around me, I see that a lot of people have managed to quit smoking without vaping.

Marketing vaping as a way to give up smoking is very disingenious, because you are just trading one addiction for another.

I know that you can give up smoking without starting another addiction. I did it, my girlfriend did it, my sisters did it, my best friend from high school did it. It took a few attempts, but we all managed to kick the habit. All of us used to smoke a pack a day, and now we're free.

Juul was a last ditch attempt by tobacco companies to keep everyone addicted so they keep paying their idiot tax for their daily dose of nicotine. I'm glad someone is doing something against it.
18 USC § 2332a(c)(2) and it's companion in the definition of "Weapon of Mass Destruction" of 18 USC § 921 defines a WMD firearm as:

(3)The term “firearm” means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or (D) any destructive device.

This is basically any firearm. By this definition, any firearm not considered an antique is considered a weapon on mass destruction, which is clearly completely unworkable when considering allowing firearms for not just self-defense in the terms of attack but to the original reasoning of the second amendment which was to provide a check against a government ruling over its populace by force by allowing individuals to possess that same force.

Certainly!

But Christ is born because the world needs saving. and the world keeps degrading after Christ ascends (returns, in a sense) to heaven. Prophetic activity ceases, miracles become more and more rare, etc.

After Christ, the world still tumbles towards hell, but now it has a hope to not completely end up there.
Just remember that the addiction to righteousness is symmetrical around the political axis.
Insufficient political campaign contributions, probably.
Show HN: In-depth photographic look at all the golf courses I play
I'm an avid golfer; it's my main hobby. I decided to start taking pictures of all the courses I play. While there's a lot of golf websites out there, none of them really try to document the courses in depth and look at each hole, along with the course facilities like the practice areas. I live in Chicago and am starting with the courses in this area (of which there are dozens of public courses to play).

While I play golf, I take photos with my phone of every (relevant) aspect of the golf course I can think of. Then they're processed and organized on the website.

Obviously I'm starting this journey on my own, and in that sense it's not scalable. I won't be able to visit all the courses in the US, let alone the world. I hope to find others that would like to contribute to the effort.

At some point I'd like to add course news and histories to the site. Many golf courses in the US are over 100 years old and have rich histories. And of course many older courses exist in Europe.

I also have started adding descriptions/commentary for each hole on courses. For example, see:

https://www.golfscout.net/golf-hole/wilmette-golf-club-wilme...

And maybe went a little overboard on this one:

https://www.golfscout.net/golf-hole/billy-caldwell-golf-cour...

Anyway, it's a fun project and could go in a lot of directions. PS: I'm always looking to expand my golfing circle. If you're in Chicago and want to play sometime, hit me up -- contact details are on the website.

Relevant quote from the Fossil website[0]:

"Fossil started out using 160-bit SHA-1 hashes to identify check-ins, just as in Git. That changed in early 2017 when news of the SHAttered attack broke, demonstrating that SHA-1 collisions were now practical to create. Two weeks later, the creator of Fossil delivered a new release allowing a clean migration to 256-bit SHA-3 with full backwards compatibility to old SHA-1 based repositories. [...] Meanwhile, the Git community took until August 2018 to publish their first plan for solving the same problem by moving to SHA-256, a variant of the older SHA-2 algorithm. As of this writing in February 2020, that plan hasn't been implemented, as far as this author is aware, but there is now a competing SHA-256 based plan which requires complete repository conversion from SHA-1 to SHA-256, breaking all public hashes in the repo."

Please don't tell me what I'm thinking or what I want to do ;-)

The use case I had in mind is closer to a data.world or dbhub, collaborative data cleaning (which often include bulk operations) rather than merging OLTP databases after days or weeks of changes.

What I would use now is a script or Jupyter Notebook checked in Git, where cells are strongly ordered and if someone sends me a pull request (changing the code) I have to re-run the notebook to obtain the "merged dataset". I can't say that I have a use for Dolt but it is definitely cool tech.
Since the Internet is not a fiefdom, universal law is moot. Nation states will draft tracking laws that are only only enforceable through tracking in an attempt to gain their slice of authoritarian pie. Pointing to the Google or US is typical strawman BS and gives people a false sense of security because they should assume everyone, not just the Google, is tracking them. Getting people to own their data is an uphill climb, but is ultimately what will curb the negative behavior we're witnessing.
This is the first I've heard about serious performance overhead from going rootless. Do you have any links with more info about it?

I haven't encountered any issues like this personally with rootless podman (although I'm not doing any large scale deployments).

> That is actually required by the Russian regulations

Russian Terrorist Regime *
I'm not sure what you think the numbers you mentioned "prove"; you listed numbers for accidental gun deaths without comparing them to the total number of gun deaths. The questions we're discussing are "are more than 50% of gun deaths attributable to unintentional gun killings?" and "can regulations about who can carry guns, where, and when reduce that number?" Your statistics don't address either question.
> Take YouTube as an example of a more even playing field. Yeah, they surface content, but, for all intents and purposes, they're not discriminating against who can or can't upload a video. They're not preventing you from being successful by promoting someone else's content. They're promoting someone else's content because it's better than yours.

Ironically, some of the highest paid youtubers and twitch streamers are Canadians (I'm thinking of Linus Tech Tip among other things) and they didn't any help at all from these government subsidies.
Not specifically about these functions but in general PG makes it pretty easy to build custom functions and data-types. I one of those who doesn't want to put too much business logic in my DB but for those cases where it really makes sense to get into your lower level language and do all the magic it afford on your data - it's a killer feature.

It could also tell us customers a bit about what kind of impact to expect from this. Content -wise if it's buyers. Or reliability wise if it's tech people.
What did you enjoy about being a security guard?
> It's true for all laws, and yet we write plenty of laws.

True, but doesn't mean they're effective. I've long held that before enacting a new law, lawmakers should be required to remove an existing ineffective, unneeded, or outdated law, even if it's in a different area.

Someone below mentioned "unrestricted access to guns". I don't have a problem with registering a gun, or even background checks, though since we have that now, it doesn't seem to be very effective.

People get outraged when horrible things happen, as they should. They want to do something to try to prevent it from happening again, which is also good. But bad things do happen and will continue to happen, and we need to accept this as part of life that we can't control.

We also need to make sure we're addressing the real problem when looking for solutions. I just read this article related to the Uvalde shooting: https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2022/05/25/uvalde-texa...

I'm not taking up for the shooter, but was interested in his background.

a) lived with his mom who was a drug addict

b) was 18 and bought the guns when he turned 18. So I'm guessing he had planned this for a while

c) was never in trouble with the law, so not sure how gun laws would have prevented anything

d) had only 1 friend who moved away

e) was bullied since middle school for stuttering, so if he was 11 then, that's 7 years of bullying and harassment

f) was later bullied and called a fag (I guess, article didn't specify) for wearing eyeliner to school

Who among us could endure 7 years of bullying, 5 days a week, without even 1 friend or a decent parent? And maybe also wrestling with being gay? The human spirit does have limits...
It's just as shareable on Gitlab, no? And the issue isn't that code is not shareable - it's that a huge corporation is profiting from this code without consent from the developer.
