> move my focus without my eyeballs moving

This is a thing!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_spatial_attention

I discovered this when I accidentally performed an experiment that showed how paying attention to a bright light in my peripheral vision without moving my eyes caused my pupils to constrict. That was after I became aware that my pupil size affected how blurry things were from nearsightedness (the same effect as in cameras).

The point is they turn up and show they're there to react if needed. You can see they're there because they're painted white.

Web design and content writing are two quite different things, and the two should be kept apart for optimum results, as has been the case for, well, twenty-plus years at this point with CMS et al, even headless ones.

Here's the source for it apparently dying: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32303373

And this is what I'm saying: I personally don't see the value in contributing to it if people already involved with it who know far more than me, have demonstrated this to me when asking them a question, would rather give me the link to do a PR than do it themselves. All this wasted energy that could have gone into the project. It says it all really, and I don't say that to be snarky, but there's a reason that Godot has exploded in popularity, and that's likely because the community just gets things done instead of discussing things to a fault.
> Is that under "realistic" economical assumptions?

It would be with nuclear. But the nutters won round 1, which makes 2º virtually assured.

> we would have to switch completely to command economy

Command economies centralize political power. Broadly speaking, modern elites are insulated from everything but total societal collapse, which any country able to re-organise into a command economy is unlikely to face. One would expect a centralized political structure to give fewer shits about the environment, not more.
The drug industry does the same thing. Has anyone else watched a anti-depression medicine commercial and suddenly felt they are depressed?

Wanting one pattern to work everywhere isn't necessarily a bad goal. The OCP pattern, for example, works decently in most environments, and is basically superior to the UCP pattern in virtually all environments (it's marginally weaker in NIR, though). So the real problem seems to be that the criteria for deciding the best pattern was chosen incompetently.

Ah, that might be it! Thanks!
Google already has the ability to generate one time use recovery codes, at least for gmail accounts -- not sure if it is generally integrated into their Authenticator app. You could generate some recovery codes and put them in a safe deposit box or something I guess.

This sort of solution (and your post office idea) can be, but they don't satisfy the last resort customer service role, for people who haven't set these kinds of recovery options up.
I think the main point of removing this exclusion is that you can be depressed and bereaved at the same time. Or you could be so depressed due to bereavement that you still need treatment. In DSM-V it's left to the clinician to distinguish between clinically significant depression and a healthy, transitory reaction to bereavement. The reason for this is to avoid cases where people who need treatment are dismissed too easily because they happen to be bereaved. There is still a distinction drawn, it's just that it's not currently easy to make that distinction in a standardised way, and so it was decided to remove it from the DSM, which is meant to be as rigorous and statistically grounded as possible.
Proton is not needed because it's a native version. The stuttering might be due to uncached shaders, which now steam downloads periodically, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Get out and ride a bike or something. More blood to the brain; no digital distraction. Take a shower and bam! productive. That's how it works for me.
Do you feel like there is really anything to "catch up" on?

I'm in my mid 30s with no kids - while I can see that my career happens to be more advanced than close friends who had kids early, the signal to noise ratio is pretty high.

I'd think about it this way: enjoy the path you've set yourself on and savour the years where you have both your kids and your health. When they become less dependent on you, the option to lean in to a career is still available, and with a few more grey hairs you probably won't have to work so hard to prove yourself to begin with.
Yes! My 5 yo daughter can count up to 12 or 19, perhaps 29 with some help. But she only groks up to 5. For example she understand that 5-2=3, but she does not understand that 6-2=4. (In a story, like "There are 5 apples on a table, and I eat 2, how many are left?") She is improving, but it's slowly than what imagined before having kids.

As the sibling comment explains, for older kids proportions is a natural and important topic, but it's too much for my daughter yet. (I recommend to start doubling or halving the recipes, and later more advanced stuff like 18/24.)

I guess it's not possible to advance too much after that with kids, but there are a few nice initial activities.
Google did provide some advance warning that was coming.

Also, accounts without MFA were also also causing harm. Some vulnerable populations also didn't realize how easily a non-MFA'ed account could be taken over remotely due to a weak password. And then due to "password reset" functionality, a Gmail account takeover can pivot to cause greater harm.

This is a classically difficult problem: improving security often reduces convenience. The trade-off Google chose to mandate for all users was not the best for users without stable phone access.
So, my grandmother knows drastically less about computers than she used to. She actually previously used email with regularity, and has since forgotten about even the existence of the email account she had for fifteen years. Unless we have a cure for memory loss in seniors, new less computer literate people will be occurring every day.

So the answer is, unfortunately, never. There will always be people who are not computer literate, and if we want basic services to be available via the Internet, as many government services now are, we have to include systems that include these people.

You can't just discard the poor because they aren't computer literate.
So the game is pay to win - otherwise some 16 year old would be at the top of the ranks with no money invested.

I heard a rumor the match making service is wholesale copied from StarCraft 2 - on that game if you win about 10 times in a row you’re facing world champions - the match making really wants you to play against players better than you.

If the gear didn’t help the top of the ladder would be packed full of crazy talented kids.

well what every other service relying on OTP or YubiKey for 2FA (not that SMS bullcrap) has ever did: recovery codes you write down somewhere. it can even be as simple as writing them down on the library card carried in the wallet.

>> LDAP+kerberos for auth and our homedirs mounted on first login

My first "real" job as a sysadmin had this kind of setup, albeit with Sun servers and workstations running Solaris 8. I was impressed by how well it actually worked most of the time given all the quirkiness of kerberos/nfs/nsc/etc..
It's so interesting how luddite Reformers hold such a sway over the usually techno-optimist HN. Turns out that new technology has teething problems, what a shocker.
> I don't have a backyard

How convenient
I understand, and agree with you, but at the same time, a HUGE number of people don't have that identification. Many homeless people that could qualify for services struggle to prove who they are, and that they are able to receive it (especially vets) because they have lost their ID, have no idea where their birth certificate is (or marriage license), and have no home to show multiple bills to that address in their name.

When I hear numbers like this I wonder what percentage of the compute and memory resources of that 18-32 node cluster — not to mention the engineering that went into making it work — goes into the “hard” problems of horizontal scaling, cramming stateful services into an architecture designed for stateless ones, etc.

You can actually get a couple of pretty beefy bare metal boxes for that budget. Or a couple of more modest ones for app servers plus a nice big RDS instance with all the trimmings. Based on past experience, that’ll get you to a few hundred rps for even a fairly complicated, poorly-tuned Rails or PHP app; your well-factored Go API server should handle 10x that pretty easily.

You might have to write some Bash or systemd unit files instead of a bunch of YAML, which may or may not bug you. I find shell easier to understand and debug than YAML-based scripting but YMMV.
Americans with disabilities act?

Haha, google doesn't provide good customer service for able bodied, so they provide the equal service for disabled.

Big tech needs a reckoning from consumer protection. Oh wait, those laws and the government agency were gutted. Nevermind.

Being a relatively new parent, the lack of consumer protection regulation in things like kids apps, youtube ads, and similar is APPALLING. I recall from my youth TV programming was highly regulated, arguably a bit too much, but at least the advertising industry had to stay within bounds.

App and youtube ads are the wild west, especially freemium games using any and all addictive mechanisms to extract money from kids and their parents.

Aside from that, big tech can't have it both ways. They can't be major providers of "cyberspace" services and provide no means for customer service or protection from their security automated services locking out someone. Why this isn't subject to large civil penalties, massive class action lawsuits, and even criminal violation of federal law is beyond me.

Terms of Service can't cover all of those, but then again, I haven't read them so...

Online services are steadily gaining importance equal to things like banking. Can you imagine a bank locking you out of your accounts and providing no means to get YOUR MONEY? Well, replace money with information. Why can't you get access to YOUR INFORMATION?

I understand the ToS providing the rights to analyze and use YOUR INFORMATION as part of the service, but we need federal legislation equal to the EU laws that I think do a better (but from what I can tell incomplete) job of delimiting the rights you have to YOUR INFORMATION.
Depends if you prefer Ruby or JavaScript for (if) scripting. RPGMaker XP uses Ruby and RPGMaker MV uses JavaScript. MV is a bit newer but both are quite old and really cheap in offers.

If you want you can always wait for an offer and get the latest, which uses JavaScript, although the price difference is quite steep.

It's been striking how little discussion there is of this in /r/europe and /r/germany. (The latter has pinned a megathread for the topic, the classic way of killing discussion.) /r/de is slightly better, if only because of the absence of the constant "I don't know German but want to move to Germany and get a job" posts.

I don't mean to say that there's been nothing, along the lines of the 100% censorship that happened at /r/news the day of the 2016 Orlando mass shooter. There has been some. But there is far, far, far less. Just last moth we had

* a German minister stating that becoming dependent on Russian gas was a "grievous mistake", and that his country is begging for turbines from Canada "with a heavy heart"

* His government stating that entire industries might "collapse"

* Rationing of gas announced

* Local municipalities planning warm buildings that those without heat in their homes can visit during the winter

This is the greatest German catastrophe in 80 years. It is an existential threat to the German (and, thus, European) economy and nation. Any other topic half as serious would occupy far more of these subreddits' front pages. And it is entirely self-inflicted.
I am not a fan of regulation in general

But SPAM should be resolved with strict adherence to standards like SPF, DKIM, etc. and where those fail it should be improved

Today many companies, large and small, as well as government agencies, large and small do SPF and DKIM very very very wrong.

Unless we can get this right I fail to see how regulations would do anything other than make things worse

Some of the biggest SPAM abusers are not the small providers but the Large companies like Gmail and Microsoft who do not vet their customers very well

Serious question: is he technically smart? Or is he just a rich kid who got lucky and understands how to manipulate situations to his advantage?

Some of his ideas are good, but others (like Hyperloop) are idiotic and are worse than existing technology.

He seems to just dream things up and then throw money at good engineers until they accomplish them.

This works with some things (SpaceX, Tesla) and fails with others (Boring).

The situation with the kids in the cave revealed how poorly he understands a lot of things he claims to be a genius in.
Any love for LXC here?
I was under the impression that unless inside an unsafe block, Rust required/automatically-placed bounds checks on array accesses. The out there was for situations where the compiler could 'prove' that the index was within bounds statically. But maybe I was wrong about that.

With such a strong focus on bounds checking, are there any 'systems programming' languages that you do find acceptable?
That's not even remotely the same as flying multiple bomber missions every single day.

Or how about if google sees you log into a computer associated with a library IP address more than once it offers to help you set this up. With some sort of special dialog that specifically targets people in this situation. And it periodically reminds you to confirm you still have these recovery codes saved somewhere and if you don’t helps you create new ones. I know this isn’t google scale but it’s a nice feel good story that google could trot out at I/O

I use to joke with my sister who would go online and read things then come up with self-diagnoses.

I think people have to be more aware that not everything you read of see online is real.
On the other hand, it's a miracle that there's still any Google product that's taking its medicine at all, considering the sheer size of the company and the forces at play to squeeze capitalism out of it.
> To me, you can be depressed about something and not have depression. You can be anxious about something and not have anxiety. Those are slightly more sophisticated uses of sad and worry.

You are contradicting your own examples:

> You’re not sad, you’re depressed.
You don’t worry, you have anxiety.

It's possible the people are expressing they are feeling depressed or having anxiety in a colloquial way without confusing the emotion for the diagnosis. Your prior examples indicated that to use those words is problematic, yet you now say that "you can be depressed about something" and that "you can be anxious about something."
Self control is assimilating those emotions in a healthy way to understand the root cause rather than letting them overflow from mental->physical in inappropriate settings.

This is a cornerstone of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is, in short, "I am free to notice that when this happens, I feel this certain way, and that usually relates to these outcomes. How can my behavior influence this in my favor?"
