Atmospheric science isn’t belief: unless we rapidly change energy, transport, and construction practices, most humans will face existential threats in the next five years to ten years one way or another. That part is not for debate.

A lot of activists and governments have started responding (banning ICE cars in 2025, 2030, and 2035). My belief is that most will have increasingly strict rules because they will see increasingly obvious droughts, heatwaves, and hurricanes—that’s the part where I’m less sure about.

There are people and politicians who are delusional, so anything can happen. I expect them to move and be more popular in areas where the consequence will be dire soon.

There are people who protest and see no change. Them, and people who lose everyone they care about in climate-related disasters, will most likely resort to violence: this has already started with people attaching themselves with concrete to a highway or deflating tires of SUVs in London. That group is organized and they don’t feel heard. That much has happened and I can testify that it’s not blaming down. I believe that this will lead to more violence, notably targeted assassinations.
Well now we have a program that says “Hi!” until you press escape. For the loneliest among us, that may be enough. But we came here to build a game, so we’ll need some kind of animation.

It would be difficult but not impossible to eat properly on $150/mo in the USA.

There would be no money left over for other categories of spending like shelter or transportation.
From Epstein's point of view what reason would he have not to kill himself. He was NEVER going to leave that cell alive. He could drag it out for the rest of his natural life, or he could check out immediately.

I do think the guards knew/suspected he would do this and went out of their way not to interfere.
I have a laptop with nvidia card and wayland runs fine on the laptop screen, but lots of problems with docks and external monitors.
So we've gone from "you", to a "forensic accountant" and now to "law enforcement".

If by industry, you mean blockchain analysis software vendors, I'm well aware of them. It is snake oil meant to tick an AML checkbox and appear as though you are doing something to fight money laundering. It's pure security theater.

Regarding law enforcement, they can't simply link Bitcoin addresses to real identities. It's just not possible. What happens is that some criminals are dumb enough to volunteer their real identity to exchanges and get caught that way.
There's a recent novel by Tamara Shopsin called "LaserWriter II" [1] that gives off that "sense of pioneering or discovery" feel for all ~200 of its pages. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a quickish read.

As opposed to Motif, you always had one OL implementation freely availablye (XView), so there was little need for it. It's also a bit weirder, so harder to dupe as e.g. a gtk/qt theme. The scrollbar being a prime example.

Also, even older. I think CDE was basically Motif's victory lap.
Mesh Central is the other decent open source offering I know of.
This is almost the entire thesis of Zero Trust Networking principles. Somehow, the user AND the device need to attest to validity during the authorization process.

"Validity" for a device can mean many things (latest patches, is running anti-virus software, among other things).

A general user probably doesn't need to attest to these things. I would argue that anyone trying to access a corporate or some other organization's network SHOULD be required to attest to these things given the cyber threat landscape. The caveat: those same entities should provide or heavily subsidize the platforms they require (work computers). It's their IP at risk. I'm not so naive to think they would actually do this with BYOD initiatives, unfortunately.

For personal users on personal devices, I agree this might go too far (but some principles like MFA are best practices).
Matt King: Forever Our Wizard
This was one of my first projects as a kid with Visual Basic. But with working paddles and all!

I love Go and use it daily, but I wish we had anything similar to VB, even if it's just a helper UI builder. Being able to shape, position, and name objects visually, then modify attributes in code, is (to me) so much easier than doing it strictly in code. Does any such GUI builder exist? I don't necessarily want VB or a similar IDE, just a way to design using a GUI and program behind it.
There is an AUR package and you can base a Docker image off Arch, so its pretty straightforward to set one up.
The article covers this and explains why (in the author's opinion) it's a false metric.

I'm not saying the article is definitely right. My point is merely that so far you haven't added anything useful to the conversation.
I have two major critiques here:

1. There's no reason to think the criminal invasion of Ukraine will result in victory for Ukraine. The Russians will fall short of their maximal goals, but they're having significant battlefield successes now. Sometimes, criminal invasions are completely successful. In this case, I suspect that a long, low-intensity conflict with two entrenched sides is the most likely outcome.

2. This is not the greatest atrocity of our generation. There have been at least three invasions and occupations that are significantly worse crimes: the US invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Saudi-led invasion of Yemen. All three have led to the total destruction and failure of the invaded state. Ukraine has lost territory and there has been substantial suffering, but it has not been nearly on the same scale and the social disruption has not, at least yet, been anywhere near as significant.

I bring this up because moral consistency is important. Just as we should endorse the right of the Ukrainians to defend themselves from criminal aggression, we must also endorse the same rights for other peoples. And we should be making the same calls, or not, for the aggressor states in these crimes to have their cultural influences purged from law-abiding societies.
Hm, are you sure? Do you have an example?
It's the best for payment, but the additional fees come on top of the payment fees, for SaaS products: billing, data sync, etc.
Battletech, both the tabletop and the last PC game, do a decent job. The former mainly in some of the added rule books (I think Tactical Ops and Strategic Ops in the last edition, before there was one called Tactical Handbook) which even go as deep as covering things like Depot and Factory modifications to military hardware (in that case Mechs) that is generally speaking pretty much in line with how modern military systems are managed. There are some more abstract systems using pool points for ease of book keeping.

The PC game takes some short cuts for ease of use (improvements to the base dropship the merc unit is using) and is assuming spares and consumables are readily available. It is covering the basic principals rather well so.
≥ A recent IMF admitted that DeFi is 10x efficient than TradFi.

Oh, yeah? Here's the document: https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fintech-notes/Issues/202...

Where does it say that?

It doesn't say that, because it isn't true.

You continue to reinforce the idea that cryptocurrency advocates deliberately make up false statements.
I kicked off at my previous co because we paid ~3% on Clearpay transactions, let alone 4% - 8% of turnover!
In France we would call it a "mille feuilles" (a thousand leaves?), like the pastry!
For me the [off-screen sound] portions are more annoying and seem to be included in most subtitles (I am aware of "normal" subtitles vs. SDH, but often the former also include extra information).

To fix that I usually preprocess them with subclean[1], i.e. extract the subtitles with `ffmpeg -i IN out.srt` in clean and use that srt file. There are some players with cleanup options, but I never found them comprehensive enough.

Also, separate subtitle tracks would be awesome, or a slider for "how much information" you want displayed.

I didn't, but plenty of friends and family did in the hype cycle. Initially I was just kinda too lazy, then started to see some red flags.

Unsuccessfully trying to convince friends to stay away from crypto did give me loads of empathy for people like climate scientists - you spend your whole life trying to measure the average surface temperature accurately, and some random dude goes "but what about the summer of 76". It's just too easy to quickly dismiss relatively complicated arguments or explanations.
> For example, volunteering to help Ukrainians, donating money to their cause

And people are doing all those things. People also volunteered to fight and die with them, countries are sending them weapons.

It's not taking away from any of those things.
Yes and it's honestly why I'm so vocal about the whole situation, even in real life. It just made me so uncomfortable how the events unfolded and how quickly the narrative switched to justifying (and even cheering!) for people to be stripped of their rights. I don't really care about antivaxxers but as a muslim and an immigrant, it just made me realize just how fast events like these can unfold and how easy it was to normalize batshit insane rhetoric against a minority (in the numerical sense, I'm not saying antivaxxers are a protected class)

We went from calling them conservative grandma killers (at least that was somewhat related to their claims), to nazis, to terrorists and finally foreign backed insurrectionists. In 2 weeks. Let's hope the public opinion doesn't ever turn against Muslims as much too then, because now I have a glimpse of just how irrelevant any of my rights would suddenly be.
I think the point OP was trying to make was that due to A.S. demonstrated disdain for the Ukrainians his books deserve a boycot.

Cant disagree more. To understand modern day Russia one needs to have read Solzchenitsyn's books. The country today is a product of decades of strong negative selection favouring the immoral and strongly discouraging moral acts. Those who live in Moscow and make up the modern Russia are the descendants of those who successfully navigated the communist opressions. The westerners should read the books to understand what that meant. There would be far less surprises at the deeply immoral acts of russian govt had the likes of Merkel bothered to read and reflect. Boycotting such books would do Russia a favor.
Correct. But overall if you net out the cash flows, the crypto market does not create any new wealth (as opposed to the stock market). Old investors benefit by getting more new investors who themselves are always on the lookout for even greater fools.

That's not what TeamViewer, AnyDesk and others offer. They offer display and control of anyone's PC, without a tech-savvy person on that end. There's no way any open-source project could compete in this space.
Interesting, what did you use instead? How was the experience transitioning?
Yes, and I was just implying that I will avoid them with anything where I have a viable alternative. That was all.
The schematic for the "7048" keyboard logic shows a PNP transistor controlling an output labeled "Clicker". It doesn't show what it is connected to, but I'm 99% sure it is a solenoid because there is a flyback diode protecting that transistor.
Pretty uncharitable and somewhat harsh indictment from you IMO.

There's a class of programmers / power users out there who are looking for products with less probability of memory security problems bundled in (as is the case by default with most C programs, sadly) -- and I am one of them.

I can't say I care about including the "Rust" word in the name of the product itself -- that's indeed a bit silly -- but I do insist on using Rust-written programs because as far as I am aware, the few servers I manage and monitor never once had a Rust program crash unexpectedly. These servers are ~19 months old at this point.

And as a guy periodically working with Rust as well, I am aware of its promises and guarantees and I have personally ascertained they are not imaginary and they do indeed work well. And I'll keep seeking out and using Rust-written software going forward as well.

(EDIT: It's fine to disagree but I can't argue with anonymous silent disagreements. Could you voice what you dislike about this comment, please?)
And they didn't even do that. You could still view and reproduce a jpeg without paying for it. It was a classic ponzi scheme.

There's only so much time in a day. Try one for a few months. Did it help? Maybe keep doing it then. Definitely try something else if it didn't. Maybe keep a simple log of it - just a date, the fact that you did it, and if anything interesting happened maybe write that down too. Maybe don't if that gets in the way of you just sitting down and doing the thing.

How can you carve your time up differently? What would your life look like if you replaced that "I need a break, I'm gonna look at HN/Tiktok/Twitter/etc" reflex with "I need a break, I'm gonna meditate for a few minutes" or "I need a break, I'm gonna get up and dance to this bangin' tune that just came on"?

("Walking meditation" is a thing too, and a walk out in nature is a great place to do it!)

And: how can you bend your life so that your job is enjoyable; how can you bend your life so that the time you spend "at work" is well-spent, and that you don't have to waste extra hours in the parts that help?
I do want to clarify that the phone companies making money from robocalls are not YOUR phone company. Phone companies that provide services to consumers lose money from robocalls, have to deal with unsatisfied customers, and really want both a technological and legal solution. The problem is a vast array of VoIP providers that let anyone with a valid credit card sign up and start pumping calls in real time. To them the revenue loss from people sometimes signing up with a stolen card and sending a bunch of scam calls is much smaller than that gained from having a low barrier for signup.

It's a non-zero sum game - a negative sum game because aside from the trading, there are the huge costs in network and electricity.

It will collapse. It is simply masked to some extent by the fact that industrial civilization is a generational Ponzi scheme.
Curious how this works. Google surely verifies things like business addresses, DUNS numbers, company principals (CEO et al), etc, eh? So what if the card is "private" if the rest is legit?
Now that you have earned such an amount, I’m sure you’ve put an amount of money away for safekeeping.

Let’s say something catastrophic happened. Doesn’t matter what exactly, the question is this: Is there ANY likelihood that you wouldn’t be able to secure a decent standard of living based on your in-hand capital? Can you see yourself in a tent ever again?

Once you have acquired a certain amount to provide for yourself, it’s easier to take risks. It’s easier to make moves. For people caught in wage traps with kids and debts, it’s not so easy.

I respect what you’ve done and I’m very proud for you. I know your future must be very bright if momentum counts for anything, because you’ve done wonderful work already. With that being said, it’s reductionist at best to say that your path is just freely replicable by anybody living in poverty. Particularly those who aren’t gifted towards computers. How’s a teacher supposed to make their way in America? Probably half of them are either living off food stamps or close to doing so. Should they give it up and just write Vue/React all day and take home their six figures?

This is far deeper an issue than can be discussed in HN comments anyhow. I hope you can see where I’m coming from.
I once got great feedback by asking verbally at the end of the interview.

I said "You've just interviewed me, what do you think I need to improve?" That way it's really easy for the interviewer to give the feedback and you get round any corporate policies about not giving feedback.
You should be able to handle for this by card type? When I wrote merchant software way back, we could separate restricted corporate cards from standard cards prior to processing, because we had to send itemized purchase records for corporate cards in a special format as part of the approval request. I believe corporate cards had their own card ranges and it was trivial to determine if you have the card number.

A funny story. Because they shoehorned this functionality into a fixed length messaging spec instead of repeating segments, we could only send like 12 items. Anything after that was just approved. If I remember correctly the same spec applied to EBT purchases as well. I'm sure they use a different message format now and you totally can't get away with buying 12 things and then beer with an EBT card.
The Win95 interface, being rather well-known, was a frequent emulation target and generally easier to do than OS X, although the finer details are usually missing from both (e.g. good keyboard control).

The most interesting phenomenon I noticed was how unquestionably loyal many places were to the mask mandates, yet kept all their windows shut even on totally nice days out.

I was in a gym that required everyone to wear a mask (yes, while working out / on a treadmill / etc), but all the large windows were shut, and nobody seemed to care or notice. No staff, no patrons, nobody. So I walked around and opened all the windows. And this wasn't March 2020. This was like end of 2021.

I'm not claiming to be some pandemic savant, nor getting into a mask debate, but what shocked me was the "group psychosis" on masking at the expense of proven and incredibly easy mitigation efforts like opening windows!

I'm just waiting for the tongue-in-cheek article from someone that says "Why you should use the Dewey Decimal Classification to organize your notes". And then the refutation based on the limitations of DDC and the inevitable follow on article that says "Why you should sort your notes by Library of Congress Classification instead of Dewey Decimal".
>"Who/what do you consider to be a "Canadian" in 2022"

I consider myself one even though I am foreign born. But maybe since I do not pour maple syrup on my eggs'n bacon I am a fake.

>"About 20% of the overall Canadian population are foreign-born."

For reasons unknown most of company owners/reps I've done business with were WASPs. Count me "lucky".

Also what you said does not explain why is it so different in the US.
Of course this view is ridiculous. It is like looking at one hand of black jack in a casino : "you mean you spent millions of dollars building a casino and you let that player win!" Sadly though we only get to see the non-portfolio view of VC firms performance, the case-by-case view, when really the success of the fund (and the casino) is about the distribution of performances. Having said that, my offer still stands. I will build any member of this community a firm with a globally recognized brand name, that loses $100mn a year for $5bn down now. I will even throw in some jail time for securities fraud too.
I think that would work. Just tried it and while I got “zero bars”, going into field test mode showed I was sitting connected to another roaming network with limited service.

Sure, but given that the qualified one here still needs to be good enough to produce production ready code, you're not really saving yourself any work.

especially given that many use cases for this sort of thing are either embedded or close enough, and that Rust really relies on optimizations to produce good code, you need more than a bare minimum "it works" compiler to make the whole thing go.

My team's embedded project sets opt-level 1 even in debug builds, as no optimizations makes things impossible, flash size wise, and we're not even working with particularly small MCUs.
It's always been interesting to me --- most people dont realize it's way better to be rich and unknown then be known to be rich. Tobi can't hide that he is rich at this point, but I bet he can go into most restaurants or bars outside of CA without being accosted.
Thousand years, iirc
Paintings are one of those goods where we are able to make almost exact reproductions that, unless you get up close with a magnifying glass, are visually identical to the original.

The scarcity is not in the image itself, it is in a combination of image + canvas.
Yeah, especially since enterprises often want to add their own writing rules (style guide)
It just seems like the end result of a culture that believes it has conquered food scarcity. Gourmet develops in response to different environmental restrictions; coastal nations eat more seafood, temperate climates have "hearty" meals for winter, dispersed communities recreate treasured recipes with local ingredients.

But agricultural and transportation revolutions in the 20th century have lead to promises of any food whenever you want. This isn't all bad (I personally love getting a December-January fruit season from Argentina), but the expectation has lead to cutting costs, revising recipes for practical purposes, and introducing one-formula-fits-all preservatives and other ingredients. To suggest otherwise - that a Dominos pizza has nothing in common with nineteenth century Italian flatbreads or that the supermarket tomatoes pale in comparison to more expensive Farmer's Market varieties - immediately makes you a snob. There are clear and dangerous consequences to this mentality, but any scientific argument is muddled and overshadowed by customer's demand for convenience over anything else.

It's clear that taste is losing to convenience in this culture war, but I have no clue what can change. But it is curious how cuisine gets blander and more predictable as food becomes more accessible.
No need to go all the way to Queens for the groceries - just a few blocks from the Whole Foods on Houston you have the grocery stores of Chinatown, and even the produce from the street vendors is decent - and cheap.

Hmm, this statement, "Tobi Lütke, the company’s founder and chief executive, told staff in a memo sent Tuesday that the layoffs are necessary as consumers resume old shopping habits and pull back on the online orders that fueled the company’s recent growth." - sounds a bit bullshitty.

But maybe they expected the pandemic to last for the rest of our lives.
Well said. The blinders that ignore the equally abhorrent wars and policy of NATO and the US placed upon much of the discourse regarding the Ukraine situation are glaringly obvious yet somehow ignored.
> It's actually the same reason I think the Windows' UI peaked around Windows 98SE. Things that are interactive, like buttons or window frame edges, look interactive and are easy to spot. Buttons look like buttons.

Unless we're talking about toolbar buttons, where the 3D look that was still in Win95 vanished with either Win98 or one of the early office suites. I still think that's wrong, and maybe even the original sin of our current flatness crisis.
