I'm obviously missing something here. 18yrs old = Adult in most parts of the world.

Is the problem that they are playing games, or is the problem that they are not supporting themselves and spending their time in an activity that you consider to be time wasting?

At some point people become responsible for their own actions, this depends upon the person, but in most cases 18 is the age where they make decisions about sex, alcohol consumption (in most of the world) and most other activities participated in by adults.

If this person (not child) is doing something you don't like under your roof then it's your responsibility as others have suggested, to talk to them like an adult and explain your concerns rather than start a war of attrition that you will almost certainly lose.

Yesterday it took me and my pair like 3 hours to figure out how to iterate over a vector of things asynchronously. Eventually we found collect'ing into a FuturesUnordered, after already implementing a repeated collect into vector of futures and then futures::join_all them.

The error messages we encountered while going through this were not the amazing one's we're used to from sync rust, these were... cryptic, to say the least.
Yeah, but that’s way harder to find good alliteration for.

Some of the big flying Pokémon were also terrible to interact with. Nearly off-screen if they moved.
It's not rich people I meant to lump together; if anyone, it's populists.
Ask HN: Recommendations on how to become a Git expert?
I use Git daily and often but rarely beyond pull, add, commit, and push. Feature branches are squashed when I merge into our main/master branch. Meanwhile, whenever I get on zoom calls with colleagues I can't help but feel like they run circles around me in the command line with git and I look like an idiot.

Don't ask me to cherry pick, rebase, or bisect. Merge conflicts I handle in VSCode and oftentimes I'll use GitLense or even GitHub Desktop as a last resort. I feel like these tools "work" but that I'm missing some aspect of being a software engineer by not being a command line git wizard or truly understanding what's going on when I do a rebase for example.

Are there any books/courses/videos/etc you recommend to level up in Git?
Nice! I was wondering why there are example images of real-looking people, but it seems this is allowed now:

Covid pretty much killed any interest I had. I used to play PoGo with my LARP friends at our weekly game.... it's a lot less fun when everyone only goes anywhere by themselves.

Plus, the game itself is way too simple, and very much time-oriented, you have to be free at the right time to make the events..

I think Niantic type games would be better if they were closer to World of Warcraft in terms of game mechanics, more guild focused, more complex mechanics, etc.

It's probably held back a bit by the fact that they use real location data, and it's played by kids, and there are bad people who might do bad things with that if they aren't very careful, so they probably will always have to heavily limit some of the social features.

The bugginess is pretty extreme though. It's just Google maps plus a Nintendo DS era game, why is it so buggy, and why is it so intolerant of when you run out of high speed data?
It's unfortunate to see stuff like this when I feel like everytime I'm delaying sleep it's for my education. Sometimes I'm just playing video games but usually I'm really learning or building something. I'm a major victim/perpetrator of "revenge bedtime procrastination" because I really don't want to have to just get up in the morning and have another unfulfilling day at work.

No evidence (obviously), but the reality eerily matches this hypothesis, unfortunately. I would love to be proven wrong.
I don't think enlightenment should be in quotes here. I'm pretty sure this really is the logical conclusion of the ideas in the enlightenment and if we want to move beyond the trouble we have we're going to have to question those.

Niantic is the most baffling company. I played the original ingress beta with my friends and it was actually pretty fun, it felt like you were playing a tech demo, but for a tech demo it was engrossing.

When they shut it down and announced they started developing a game based on the pokemon IP that was pretty exciting, but the final product they released was frankly embarassing. I know the "I could build a this in a weekend" trope is ridiculous, but from my memory it felt that after over a year of developing (and shutting down a successful game for that amount of time!) they released what was basically a reskin of Ingress with less engrossing gameplay.

But the bafflement continued after that. Despite the bareness of the game it still had great success, except they failed to monetize it in any significant way, by the time they implemented half decent monetization their player base had already dropped by a factor hundred or something.

Of course given the ludicrous amount of initial hype that meant there was still an insane amount of players and they still made crazy revenue. And judging from the stories of players who remained active their development pace never really picked up.

I'd love to read war stories from those layed off. What happened inside that company that made it have such a seemingly weak game development pace despite being born from one of the worlds premier engineering firms. Was all of it spent on marketing and licensing the IP? Or spent on frivolous decoration like the fancy AR experience that mostly fizzled out?

All things considered the game was still a great success, just baffling when imagining the things that could have been. In my mind they could have been bigger than Nintendo itself.
I thought there was also some boots to quality from the denoise performed by the neural engine? Or did I remember that wrong?
From the article:

> This was one way to make my unwanted future tolerable, to at least make it interesting for myself: to pretend that there was such a possibility as a new kind of person in a new kind of world.

I gotta say, the self awareness is refreshing.
The same for meat? My neighborhood is teaming with uneaten squirrels and pigeons and creepy crawlers.
You seem to have gone off the deep end. I'm talking about being able to limit browsers to a known-good JS code repo, just as we often do with operating system package repos at the moment.

> No, I imagine browser developers probably would not like to fund the development and review of your codebase. How about you do that yourself?

I don't write javascript or target browsers, I'm looking for ways to protect myself (and others) from people who do, without just throwing out the entire ecosystem. As such that seems a lot like other efforts that browser-makers take on.

I don't know why you're jumping on to apps, root access to phones, sideloading or any of the other weird topics you seem to want to drag into the discussion.

> how do you think this will all work out when it's WeChat and Tiktok demanding you give root access to the chinese government?

I don't know or care, because that's not within the scope of my suggestion, which is to have a default limit on where browsers pull javascript from.
The SEC is a joke. I think the average person pictures them as an all pervasive, omnipotent regulator of everything that happens in our markets. The reality is that they are a few hundred people in an office building in DC, tasked with overseeing the most complex economy in all of history. Whatever enforcement actions they are able to take affect only the most egregious and publicly visible examples they can find.
In my own personal use-case: my backups include a file that contains a list of every file that is backed up and each file's xxhash.[1] So verification is as simple as running "xxhsum --check" on this file. This is a bit slow, but it's much faster than something like SHA-256. And I don't know what scheme would be significantly faster. I just threw this together to solve my problem of verifying backups, without doing much research into the problem.

The backup is to physical media so that makes this scheme easy. Don't know if or how this could be applied to online backups.

“Though the window of opinions you can express publicly has narrowed in the last decade”

This is a huge claim that requires extraordinary evidence to back it up, imo. Maybe it’s true for him. Maybe it’s true for his social group, maybe it’s true for his industry, but I expect high quality independent evidence for this claim before I would believe that it has changed significantly in either direction.
I don't deny that Pokemon Go was a huge success and that it has a lot of players who love it for what it is. I just wish somebody was still going to build an actual location-based Pokemon game.
Uber Eats credits are basically "funny money". My employer sometimes gives us a $25 credit to go get lunch... and it can only be uber eats (not amazon/etc) because those are discounted like 20-30% to get employers involved. Employers feel like they're doing a nice thing for their employees and getting a good deal, because 20-30% discount. Then the restaurants all charge 20-30% more to make up for the fees Uber Eats charges them, and it all washes back out...

Still buys me lunch, but it ain't $25 for them and it ain't $25 for me either.

Um this is the golden age right now.

I'm a middle age balding white guy and I can find more women who want me to top them on Tinder (let alone Feeld!) than I can handle. If you don't believe me, post a pic of some shibari and see what happens (assuming you have normal Tinder profile with face pics and you don't seem too weird). I'm sure you'd find the same thing.

Fetlife is in trouble because of the combination of Facebook (which you can find groups for if your kink is less challenging that needle play!) and OF which causes so much spamming.
What's low volume? At one point I used rmq to ingest ~20,000 messages per second of varying length. From Tweets to blog posts, all containing the full content of the activity with metadata.

This is what I do, usually once or twice a day. I seem to touch my face and glasses a lot, so dish soap is important as it removes the grease. Hand soap isn't as powerful and often has additives that will leave a film behind.

I think that's optimistic. Ten plus years.

There's too many exceptions. In my home town, an intersection. Imagine, if you will:

Traveling westbound there's four straight ahead lanes. There's a traffic light for each straight lane. The traffic lights will alternate "left two straight, green; right two straight red" and then "left two straight, red; right two, green". It does this because there's a tunnel and a roundabout right there. I guarantee that FSD will choke on this.

Yes, it's a bio associated with the award announcement.

Sort of like one of those personal sketches that are so popular in US Olympic coverage....

There's a place for this, though it helps to know what you're reading, and the article title is misleading in that regard --- this is about the award and winner, not the subject matter on which the award was based.
I'm a pretty average looking white guy and I'd say you are completely wrong in your assessment.

Have you actually tried this?

It's true that women get a lot more approaches a lot quicker then men. But this whole "oh no I'm a guy the world is against me" is nonsense. You need to seem interesting in some way.
What do they observe, and how do you think this will help?

Note that I don't blame the unnamed country, they would be stupid not to bank on the fact that they are the major / only producer. The trouble lies with our shortsighted greed where it is more important to save money on costs than to manage risks (IP theft, depending on a single entity). We'll see, hope (but doubt) I'm wrong.
This is actually a fantastic counter-argument to the “nothing to hide — nothing to fear” people. It’s a good example of how an individual can remain unwaveringly righteous, but due to environmental changes all of a sudden they do have something to hide.
Not sure why you were downvoted. As a Canadian I’ve never heard the expression northern provinces, because that’s nonsense they basically all start at the border.
So true. Insane that he sees himself as the victim here.
Interesting that you mentioned American Airlines going through bankruptcy - that one was unusual in that the stockholders actually came out of that doing quite well. In nearly every bankruptcy, the equity gets wiped out (that’s why the firm is insolvent - its liabilities exceed its assets, and there’s nothing left for equity after the liabilities get paid out in order of priority).

In bankruptcy, though, I’m not sure why depositors would get treated any differently based on their account balances. Assuming we’re not talking about an FDIC insured institution, I would think they’d all be in the same class of general unsecured creditors.

There was a bank bail-in a few years back (Malta or Cyprus, I think) where depositors with larger balances took a bigger haircut than the mom ‘n’ pops, widows and orphans, but I think that was a function of their entire financial system melting down, not having a deposit insurance regime and being a haven for Russian oligarchs stashing their cash overseas (and thus just about the least sympathetic depositors imaginable).
The expertise isn't that much of a problem, unless you want to go it completely alone.

I'd assume even with massive supply chain disruptions, books still exist (and perhaps even libraries) and you can still ask other people for advice or even band together, division of labour is still a thing and useful.

You can either organise that as some kind of cooperative, or just like we organise companies today.

It was a great question. Contentment eludes you if you can’t recognize you have enough, while being aware more is possible. If that’s not possible, switch to a service that gives you “everything” (but costs more or has fewer titles.)
Nope, no and never.. They are an adult person, not a thing you own.

Certainly you have the right to expect some participation in the household, chores, standards of cleanliness, safety, noise etc, just as you would any other person living under your roof (boarder etc).

You no longer have the right to define their schedule, gender, religion or personal preference. In short they have the right to make their own mistakes, you can try to guide, but you can no longer enforce, beyond inviting them to leave your home. I would suggest that you may want to compromise and keep your ability to influence and guide, rather than giving them the boot and forcing them into the world.
Fun fact: if you're ever institutionalized for suicide watch, they confiscate your spectacles due to a perceived risk of being able to break them and cut yourself, even if your spectacles aren't made of glass.
The Zurich S-Bahn network runs 2 - 4 trains per hour, depending on the route and is very successful.

It complements trams (streetcars) and trolley buses in the larger cities - Zurich and Winterthur - which run in 6 - 10 (maybe 15 in Winterthur) intervals.

It further connects to a rural network of buses that serve literally every tiny village in the Canton and are timed to connect with S-Bahn trains.

The whole system is very successful and utterly useful with those frequencies.

Arguably, the city of Zurich runs one of the best public transportation networks worldwide.

You don't need a 3 - 4 minute interval if you're not connecting Tokyo with Osaka, or inner city Paris.

What you need is a well designed network, with guaranteed connectivity and predictable travel times with a simple ticketing system (independent of mode of transportation) and maybe not the fetish that it needs to be financed by ridership alone.

I agree, and magnesium is a key one. I certainly find I become sleepier easier if I use magnesium bisglycinate (or any magnesium really, but the bisglycinate is absorbed better and hence has no effect on my bowels!:) Coffee not only provides a stimulant but also prevents magnesium being absorbed well[1], so if you like coffee it's worth taking some.

Treasure Islands and Moneyland[1] are both terrific books. For me it shed quite some light on post colonial finance structure which we are currently living through. History of eurodollar, pivotal (and shady) role played by Bank of England and how it doesn't answer even to British government, the fascinating story around City of London (I didn't even know such a thing existed), and so on. Highly recommended.

Wow, that's a real nightmare scenario (no pun intended). I suffer from the same kind of hypnagogic jerks, albeit to a much lesser extent. The one trick that sometimes helps for me is to try sleeping on my stomach. It know it sounds like bunk... but putting a bed in the way seems to help dampen the sudden motion to the point that I can start falling back asleep almost immediately.

How much water you'd need to store depends a lot on where you are.

I'd say you have more of a need for a water stock pile in Arizona than in Singapore. We get more than two metres of rain a year here.

(Of course, even in Singapore you can get unlucky and hit a dry spell for a few weeks. But they are rather rare.

The city has dedicated a lot of its land to water reservoirs.)
It really shouldn't require much reading-between-the-lines or interpretation to see that for someone who cannot afford to replace such a device, a multi-hundred-dollar expense every few years is a significant hurdle. The choice isn't between "old unsupported device" and "new, supported device", but between "old" and "none".

Most especially when the underlying hardware itself may well function for a decade or more.

Your volume and line of questioning are suggesting a lack of consideration and awareness of circumstances. You might want to think a bit more and ask a bit less.

Sure thing. I edited my original comment.
What happens if people do eat the indigestible leaves? They might not get any calories from it, but people have more than enough of those already in the developed world. What's the difference between a leaf full of cellulose and something like psyllium husks?

Do people get nauseated if they have too many large pieces of leaves(I would imagine so, but I've never eaten random leaves so I don't know)? What about the various chemicals in them? There's gotta be at least chlorophyll and probably some other active stuff, right? What do those do if you eat them regularly? Are any of them beneficial?
It's not a binary thing. There's graduations.
Yes you pay interest. But how is that any worse than the mortgage?

They absolutely cannot. They won't even try, they require a driver to be there to be ready to take over with no notice. Their software also makes so many basic mistakes that even what they're allowing it to do is dangerously reckless.
