And people donate to get parks built, largely for the plaque with their name on it.

At the end of the day, the public still gets a park. Good has been done.

Fixating on motivates is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. There aren't "good people" or "bad people". There are just people, and motives are almost always mixed.

The people who are smearing this kid are acting worse than the kid himself. I'll drink your downvotes. Yes, I think you're being nastier than the kid, who was doing some boring grifting.

He was unemphatic, but you're being downright cruel. "Vile scam artist" "TikTok douche". He's a human being, and what he did was wrong, but I nevertheless think he's morally superior to most of you, who are dehumanizing him much more thoroughly than he dehumanized the woman.

His behavior was bad, and yours is worse.
what kind of software configuration may require recursive types? I've never had to encode trees in my configs so far.
I like Dhall for what it gives you with type safer etc but the compile times are extremely slow on a large project and type signatures can get real long/hard. It is bit of a Dhall monolith though ;)
Thank you!! I can't wait to drink my latte with uhhhhh cacao, honey, maple syrup, panela, rum and milk if you ever find yourself down here next coffee's on me !
During a pandemic, we also don't want to immediately fixate on a wrong idea, and not allow dissent.

As evidence, I gesture about me.
That's not what we're discussing. From another comment:

> MonoGame gets around it by having core team members that grant access to private trees for approved developers. It's not open source, but it's available.

Not ideal, but better than the Godot status quo.
Like stocks, don't confuse short term volatility with long term performance. The fed is expert at manipulating short term valuations, but their manipulations only hold for so long before they have to lower or raise rates again.
We're no longer limited to simple genetic reproduction, though... our units of cultural/technological/etc. output are also part of our legacies, whether as individuals or collectives. I think that's super cool, way more so than the old religious idea of "souls" and whatnot.

You've never changed your mind?
Tried it with and without, and I swear I can see the difference, but it's slight enough that I wouldn't laugh you out of the room if you told me it was psychosomatic. Which is why I asked if anybody else has noticed that same difference :-)

I prefer to use multiple, smaller config files to keep them manageable.
thanks for your clarification. With custom roms there is at least user control on system apps and their permissions.
Calling "pilot error" in response to a service interruption of your least favorite token is like saying "sure, our perl CGI gateway was down, but that doesn't count as downtime since our caddy frontend and deno server is still up."

If a token permanently loses 99.9% of its value, or if a major lender freezes withdrawals, I'd call that a service interruption because almost all users lost the value they held in the system.

Yes, there are financial structural reasons coal is still used. They amount to institutionalized sunk-cost fallacy. Those will take decades to root out.
The sources this article cites regarding masking is a single pre-print that hasn't been peer reviewed yet, and it cites no sources at all for the claim that

| "Then they ignored natural immunity. Wrong again. The vast majority of children have already had Covid, but this has made no difference in the blanket mandates for childhood vaccines. And now, by mandating vaccines and boosters for young healthy people, with no strong supporting data, these agencies are only further eroding public trust."
They should still be angry because this company should’ve gone public and made them liquid a year ago.
I guess I don’t care much if a configuration language takes a long time in some pathological case (a user writes a loop that doesn’t terminate). Such cases are already too rare to justify a dedicated language. And if the concern is bad actors, then a bad actor wouldn’t have to try to hard to get a Dhall program to run for a long time (copy paste something from the Internet). The more compelling reason to use Dhall is the static type system which is sadly uncommon among configuration languages.
If only RHEL based distorts supported in place upgrades.
Its one of the reasons why I stick to Debian.

As for OpenSuse, official support from things like Docker is pretty rare.
Ah, I missed that, thanks.

anyhow, imho, I do not see anything that I consider that bad; they are sure selling products that anybody involved in IT may consider at "low level", so avoiding it. I have the same reaction anytime I hear the term "Wordpress", but no doubt is used by so many.
I discovered Isaac Arthur's Youtube channel in another comment thread, and I've been watching his videos for several weeks now. They've almost entirely replaced news about the war in Ukraine and economic doomsdaying, and I've noticed my own mental health and future outlook improving immensely in that time.

I'd highly recommend this playlist about near-future technologies that could revolutionize life as we know it, without being too high sci-fi about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChTJHEdf6yM&list=PLIIOUpOge0...

Something about his approach really resonates with me - I think it's because he really believes a lot of the things he is researching are possible in our future - and his optimism is infectious. It really puts things in perspective, at least it did for me.
This is why I'm gonna commit a few bugs to the main branch today.
I really hope that one day Google can open source GCL, which so many languages have been inspired by without ever really being as good as it is. They all claim to address pitfalls in GCL but at the end of the day they're just worse than GCL.
Ask HN: Anyone getting LinkedIn connection invite spam?

> we're giving more thought to writing a more robust tool using a more traditional language like Go to solve some of our configuration/deployment and data templating problems.

You might want to give Pulumi (no affiliation) a look. I've been using it with Typescript, but it supports Go, too.
Well, bots should be blocked.

But I think Russian plants should be allowed to post. They're obvious, and I think they do more harm to Russia than benefit.

We're the West. We thrive on freedom that would make Russian tyrants squirm. We can handle some dissent, even as we (figuratively) tear them apart.
Oh yeah, is this not a clear bypss? Write an executable file to disk and then... execute it. As far as I know that is all that's required to completely bypass pledge?

I assume/ hope this is something you can control with better filesystem controls?
I'm not sure what you mean by karma in this case, but I wanted to note that the word "supernatural" is very often misused. Once you start prodding people about what they mean by "supernatural", you quickly discover that they don't know what "natural" or "physical/material" mean, much less what "supernatural" means, and the whole conversation descends into grumbling.

Here's one definition of "supernatural order" [0].

Another aspect is the legal overreach that isn't much discussed. Things such as quarantine rules, various mandates, eviction bans without relief, etc.

I think they had good intentions behind them and may have been necessary from certain points of view, but there are questions about their legality and continue to be challenged and some overturned.
I got on 10 mg escitalopram (Lexapro) in 2014 for social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. I just tapered off these last few months.

Pros:

* Legitimate reductions to anxiety - no longer crippling most of the time.

* Made it harder to fall into depressive episodes. So, it did its job, I guess.

* Did not make me a blunted zombie or sterilize my brain.

Cons:

* Increased sleepiness: unable to wake up at "normal" hours without significant effort, frequent urge to take naps during the day. I slept a lot over the past 8 years, more than I would have liked to. My sleep schedule normalized as soon as I quit.

* Extremely hard to quit, even with a taper. You have to take it really, really, really slow. I developed severe appetite loss and nausea as a withdrawal symptom and ended up losing 13-14 lbs and became underweight. I've only just now got it under control.
Sometimes you just explicitly want to output text or a structured format, but you'd rather have a template language do it because it being a lot less powerful actually makes it easier to write close to the output format.

I guess this is anecdotal, but counterexample. I had COVID twice. The first time there was extensive contact tracing performed by the county. The second time, there was basically nothing. Contact tracing in my area stopped when Omicron took over.

If you don't want people to link you to your github/normal account, you should probably delete this if still possible...I assume you are the user on github who has a math problem in their username which totals to slightly more than 400?

Regarding your communication issues, I would encourage you to go to meetups or similar and just talk to people. There are a ton of non-native English speakers in the tech world with a range of language skills - it won't be a problem unless you only have extremely basic english (which it seems like you don't, unless you're putting a ton of time into your messages).
Expert opinion isn't very valuable with an out like that. Sure make recommendations, but if you want to use the force of law (ultimately a man with a gun) someone needs to be held to account when it turns out you were wrong.
I think Dhall is good at pushing forward some ideas, but honestly I feel like Skylark (Python but not turing complete) just feels like the right way forward. Being able to specify dynamic functionality in a configuration file, when paired with a good configuration API, really makes stuff straightforward IMO. Gunicorn is the best example of this.

We have all of these tools that try to propose declarative configuration, then run into the fact that people really do want dynamic systems with some abstraction capabilities, and then have to overlay that into their systems.
Your notion of ethics is unequivocally and objectively wrong. Red Hat derives massive value up to and including its very existence and every single penny that passes through its hands from participation in the larger open source ecosystem that comes with the obligation to share their work not only with random bob hacker but with people like Rocky Linux, Alma, and even folks like Oracle.

You cannot acknowledge that they owe everything based on willing participation in an ecosystem where they wherein they openly made a promise and follow that up with the idea that its immoral for anyone to rely on such a promise. It's logically and morally inconsistent.

Gross is just an emotive label you have slapped on after incorrectly concluding that such actions are unethical.

Let's see your numbers of <6 years and <8 etc.

> If Covid only affected kids

In all age groups, it affected children the least.

'In total, 540,305 people were tested for SARS-COV-2 and 129,704 (24.0%) were positive.
In children aged <16 years, 35,200 tests were performed and 1408 (4.0%) were positive for SARS-CoV-2, compared to 19.1%–34.9% adults.'

"the election of Donald Trump suggested to domestic and foreign audiences alike that the country might not be forever beholden to the idea that global “leadership” was a vital American interest."

I think the above is wrong.. i think the election of Donald Trump is more about the push back against the wealthy few gathering so much for themselves they leave not enough for the rest.

Device to device (PCs, tablets, phones) file sharing within the Apple ecosystem is relatively easy, even with strangers if you set your airdrop to ‘everyone’.

I’m not aware of a Windows version of this that “just works”. SMB has a lot of weird error edge cases, especially when firewalls are involved. I’ve used the Win10+ OpenSSH service to transfer files a number of times, myself.
Yeah, I spent 3 minutes looking for a syntax error in 5 lines of code. I couldn’t find anything. I’m obviously too dumb to figure out this language so I guess I’ll just stick with YAML.

A problem here is that it's not a simple logical deduction being converted to "thick abstract math". The math is the proof. A formal proof is necessary to verify the deduction.

If Celsius is accepting deposits on existing addresses, they are continuing to accept deposits that they know their customers can't access. Celsius designed the system without an off switch because DeFi systems generally view that as an anti-feature, but that means that they probably aren't able to be compliant with the bankruptcy affidavit.

You yourself wrote that they "can't prevent" deposits for existing accounts. It's very pertinent.

I am happy to see this trend potentially ending. In my estimation, esports ultimately resulted in barbaric desecration of formerly-enjoyable multiplayer experiences, all for the sake of the all-mighty meta. Many titles were built for the express purpose of being a PPV event.

I believe Starcraft 2 and LoL evolved into some of the top offenders in this arena. Overwatch also had a scary phase with mandatory meta queues. These days, SC2 feels like you are playing an organ with 1 hand tied behind your back. LoL lost all of the wacky energy when you couldn't stack items anymore.

Competitive multiplayer gaming is effectively dead for me, and not because I don't like to get sweaty anymore. I will still periodically fire up something like TF2, just so I can remember how good it all could have been. I can play [insert role] all day on 1 server with other humans and no one will give me shit about it. Try playing off-meta in LoL and see how long your account stays active.
Do you know that they were manually driving the F150? Newer models have adaptive cruise control, pre-collision automatic breaking, a lane-keeping system, evasive steering assist, and they starting implementing self-driving features 2 years ago.

Disinformation and misinformation are noted tactics used by those who would seize control of levers of power and use them to their own ends as well.

Control over information is a fundamental tool of power and warfare (cf: Arendt, Mill, von Clausewitz, Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and many others).

Ascribing it to any one faction, or presuming all factions seeking power are uniform and unified, is another fallacy (broad brush) .

Those who seek to base power on democratic principles, for the maximum number and good, have at least a more altruistic objective to their credit.
Being on the internet is much like wearing a mask. It's VERY interesting how that progressed. It's like internet culture is infecting real life. People in real life becoming faceless and hive-mindish.

I once interviewed at a startup. They asked all kinds of questions, technical and other, which was fine. They made me an offer, which I accepted. Then, I received the following:

"About your offer, here at XXX we have the practice of doing an induction test before signing any contracts with any new hires."

This was the first time I had heard about this. It would have been fine if they did the induction test before they made the offer, but I had never heard of it being done after an offer. I told them:

"I was very surprised to get this message. I thought I had already
gone through all the technical screening steps during the interview
process. To be told that I have to go through another screening
step, even after you verbally made me an offer and had me fill
in all the paperwork, is simply not professional.

I'm inclined to say let's call the whole thing off. It isn't
clear that you really want me to work for you. Can you convince
me that this isn't true?"

Needless to say, I didn't go work for them.
It's designed to screw employees out of upside and they sell it pretending it's employee favorable.

If you reprice equity comp each year then you lose most of the upside.

Compare the two following equity plans:

Example Year 1:

---

PLAN 1

FMV: $1

Strike: $1

Total #: 40k ISOs

Vesting: 4yrs

---

PLAN 2

FMV: $1

Strike: $1

Total #: 10k ISOs

Vesting: 1yr

---

In the second plan you get granted new equity per year targeting some total comp.
This means if the equity goes up in value a lot in the first year, when your new amount is recalculated it'll be way less than 10k.

Example Year 2:

---

PLAN 1

FMV: $2

Strike: $1

Total #: 40k ISOs (10k vesting in year 2)

Vesting: 1yr into 4yr period

---

PLAN 2

FMV: $2

Strike: $2 (new grant)

Total #: 5k ISOs (The 10k from the first year, and now half that # determined by new FMV for a cumulative total of 15k instead of 20k ISOs).

Vesting: 1yr on new grant

---

This lets the company keep the majority of the upside, taking it away from employees. It also hurts employees that stay longer or have a longer term interest in the company from capturing the value they helped create.

And the more the company goes up in value, the worse the trade off becomes.

Sure in the case of a crash you may get more stock (maybe assuming they don't reduce that given hard times, target comp is just a target after all - I don't think they commit to it). Typically companies regrant underwater equity in the case of a crash anyway (see peloton). Even in the best case, I'd guess it's unlikely the grants during a down year make up for being excluded from being able to get more at a lower price 5yrs out.
>>10 Be prepared for old age

Like my dad adviced me.

As you age worry only about four things: Health, Relationships, Side income and Free time. Forget about career, accolades, titles, awards or recognitions, nothing is really remembered in this world where kids can't remember their parent's birthday or what they had in dinner yesterday.

On the grip on value chain, here’s a recent layperson explanation: https://www.npr.org/2022/02/21/1082172649/how-china-dominate...

Regardless of whether the mines are outside of China, the refinement/separation step of mined raw materials is done mostly in China (>80% global capacity). In addition to the 3-5 year lead time of building the capacity through new refineries, there’s a significant process optimization learning curve (non-transferable learnings) to move down the cost curve for new refinery entrants.

On central planning, this is well known that China manages raw material prices according to the 5-year plan: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-commodities-idUSKCN...
Ruling Erdogan's AKP Party to dissolve after next elections
Note: I am the author of "It's Probably Not Lithium."

That SMTM post only addresses 5 of the ~17 studies about food lithium concentration that I mentioned in my post. It ignores several studies that did not use ICP-MS to measure lithium and found very low concentrations of it in food.

Moreover, as samatman mentioned, the post doesn't seem to understand that wet and dry weights are substantively different measures, and cites Magalhães et al. (1990) and Hullin, Kapel, and Drinkall (1969) as if they were reporting wet weight measurements of lithium, when they're reporting dry weight measurements. This makes a huge difference, because watercress (measured in Magalhães et al. (1990)) and lettuce (measured in Hullin, Kapel, and Drinkall (1969)) are both over 90% water by weight.

So that post is largely just based on cherry-picking and misrepresentation of studies.

Moreover, as far as I could tell, only *two* of their sources *actually attempt to estimate dietary lithium intake*, whereas almost all of my ~17 sources do. This is important because the SMTM post references a lot of studies that are not available on the internet, so we don't know whether they reported lithium concentration in dry or wet weight of food. Moreover, one of those sources based its estimation on hair lithium concentration rather than actual food measurements, using a regression model whose accuracy at low levels of dietary intake is unknown.

The vast majority of studies that actually attempt to estimate dietary lithium intake based on lithium concentration in food estimate it to be lower than 100 mcg/day, regardless of methodology. The only exceptions I am aware of are two studies from Manfred Anke.
Summary:

Some Japanese characters that aren't real got accidentally built into the unicode code table. This is NOT related to speculative execution attacks at all. It's just "whoa, these kanji don't mean anything, how the hell are they here?!"

Other than that caveat (not security related), this is a fascinating article, especially if you've studied Japanese as a (foreign) language.
That's actually a great idea, hey. The only problem is getting C&D'd if you find yourself mesmerized by how much you like a new system into developing something that people would actually want to play.
