> in teenage years they are much more prone to infectious ideas

This is true in the broadest possible sense. It's why teenagers rebel against all social norms. The teenage mind mind is particularly geared toward identity discovery and without it, young adult minds would be simple inputs of their parents.

Besides that, nearly all big ideas are infectious. Language, gender, religion, politics, economics, &c are all incredibly infection ideas. You can look here and see any number of idea transmission vectors eager to transmit and propagate their strain of mental virus.

I'd encourage you to do some reading on childhood identity development (Marcia 1980). It seems as though you're advocating for identity foreclosure, by way of inoculating the teenage mind. But, you have to keep in mind that there are no anti-bodies here. It's virii all the way down.
You’re thinking small time. What if people combined their efforts, and sold shares of that?

There could be a whole commune or collective of people who blend their shares into a composite, and guarantee they are watching YouTube.

Sure, the amount generated by an individual would be small. But think about at scale. Whole cities full of people watching YouTube.
COVID is over. The Ukraine conflict will end eventually.

But unchecked climate change is an extinction-level threat.

For some reason the media often focuses on sea level rise, but I think the heatwaves and droughts will be the real threat.
This is awesome!

Does Zig also have the memory safety guarantees of Rust? It seems like a much nicer language to learn and use IMO
> one cares about backwards compatibility, which semver is all about.

Interesting. I'd characterise it more as 'responsibly breaking backwards compatibility'. Just a tool to communicate the nature of changes, a really (really) brief summarising changelog - what's included, breaking changes, non-breaking new features, or just misc. fixes?

I quite like it, but I tried to phrase my top-level comment not to be about it specifically. It would have surprised me to learn that Linux used 'semver' - that doesn't mean there's no semantic meaning to the version numbers it uses though.
Germany is experiencing the results of corruption and arrogance. Not working with allies because "it knows better" has led to this exact moment. Enjoy winter!
Denying the scientific reality in the name of 'beneficial climate messaging' is just as bad as doing it in the name of 'beneficial fossil fuel messaging'. The so-called 'tipping point' has come and gone and now the planet is committed to steady long-term warming. Eliminating fossil fuel use would not result in not reaching 2 degrees (which is a global average, so the poles would be significantly warmer by tens of degrees) - even this paper doesn't claim that, they merely note that it might be pushed back some decades past 2100.

Warming is unavoidable so major expenditure on whatever adaptations are possible is just as necessary as getting off fossil fuels, and ignoring that reality will set many areas up for long-term disasters in the near future.

Another uncomfortable reality is that politicians in all fossil-fuel producing nations may give lip service to climate concerns, but in reality none of them are going to try to shut down the most profitable economic activity in their countries. That's what the record shows in the USA as well.

Yes and no. Germany was on a great track until the early 10s. There solar and wind installations peaked and then steeply declined, as a consequence of the actions of the same government which had hastened the exit from nuclear.
So yes, on the one side, Germany has a quite high quota in renewables in electricity production (>50%), but we fell quite behind what would have been possible and at the same time became more dependent on Russian gas. But there is hope for things to speed up again and make good progress in the next years.
This. There's a lot of I shaped people out there that don't have the first clue about anything beyond their day-to-day.
AWS CDK exists and IMO is way better than terraform if you're on AWS. So much so that terraform is making their own variant to be more CDK like.

Résumé/CV: https://serkanunal.io/documents/serkanunal.pdf
Email: serkanunal00@gmail.com

I'm a system engineer from Turkey with 7 years of experience. I'm looking for system engineer or devops roles in England and I would like to relocate as soon as possible.

I'm currently working in a fintech, where I maintain and improve highly available and highly scalable infrastructure. I help other teams with production issues or improvements and troubleshoot any problem that occurs on the system and apply solutions for short term and long term. At the same time I'm planning improvements and migrations of our infrastructure software and technologies and working on them with the team.
I hope this doesn't escalate into a full blown war. It's easy to stay calm when the gas is still flowing but when winter comes Germany will want to end the Ukraine invasion and so will pressure everyone involved to finish it off. Since giving up on Ukraine is not an option, forcing Putin out is the only way. Not sure how that is going to be resolved/achieved.
Nitter SSL Cert Expired
I was talking about the parent comment, not the article. The article is actually encouraging and says that it's not too late and we can fix this.
US President warning Germany about Russia in 2018:

> "Reliance on a single foreign supplier can leave a nation vulnerable to extortion and intimidation. That is why we congratulate European states, such as Poland, for leading the construction of a Baltic pipeline so that nations are not dependent on Russia to meet their energy needs. Germany will become totally dependent on Russian energy if it does not immediately change course,"

> "Here in the Western Hemisphere, we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers."
There's a shim there, yeah (worker.js) :/
What I didn't see is any 'expense' for payment to himself? Perhaps it's there and I just can't find it. Paying yourself as an expense then still having 'profit' left over would be different than "I just worked full time for a year on this and only made $14k for myself". I can't tell if it's the former or latter.
> UN

> Tactical effect

Hehe. Last thing I want helping me are Peacekeepers.
The article is a bit sensationalistic

Germans will put a sweater inside their houses and turn the thermostat down.

Yes, the industries will have a harder time, but for example, shifting generation from gas to even coal can save gas where it's needed

Does anyone here know the folks the manage nitter.net and could reach out and ask them to renew their cert?

In the event anyone else was using the Nitter addon, a work around is to instead use the Privacy Redirect addon [1] which can be used in conjunction with the list linked by @sebiw.

I would love to. But what I hate about K8s is how you can't not use it. It's like Jenkins. A total piece of shit, slow, buggy, insecure, maintenance headache, expensive to maintain, never works the way you want without a ton of work, lots of footguns, bad practice is the default. But try explaining to management how you don't want to use Jenkins and they'll just come back with "but it's free" and "everyone uses it" and "no vendor lock-in". They don't understand that they're asking you to become a Ferrari mechanic when you really need a Ford F-350 pick-up.
> I can tell you that weather patterns on with no wind for extended periods of time even over the size of a country are not really happening.

That just isn't true - there's been plenty of times where eg the UK is generating wind power at just a few percent of total capacity because of low wind. And it just is not unusual for periods of calm in the UK to also be calm in neighbouring countries.

Even at a continental level, and averaged out over months long periods, wind is pretty variable and unpredictable: https://theconversation.com/what-europes-exceptionally-low-w... - if you look there we can see that wind power generation at a European level was down 32% on long term average over summer and autumn 2021.
When I read about it a week or two ago it struck me as an incredibly dumb idea. However KSA has hired some pretty big global architecture firms to design this city and I have to imagine they know better than I do.
I agree - this is a really bad situation for people, and I'm glad that she's publicizing the issue, but it might be that a free email service from a corporation isn't ever going to serve as a robust enough way to provide essential government services to people. In a perfect (ly funded) world, people might be better served by email accounts from the post office, or even the library.
You can turn it off, but it only works once.

It might work, but the presumption is that you are in a country with high social cohesion and low wealth inequality.

Otherwise, by stripping people from their privacy, you create basically a database of targets for thieves and other criminals.
You can persist data with their edge stores (see the sibling comment), or use it to transpose between different API schemas, or as an API gateway that fetches consolidates, consolidates, and caches multiple micro-endpoints, or use it to run Doom (https://blog.cloudflare.com/doom-multiplayer-workers/) or IRC (https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-chat-demo) a variety of smaller useful things (https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/examples/)

I read a lot of the right wing news on Zerohedge for a balanced media diet. If it's important it'll show up there.

In general I'd suggest looking into reading the news outlets that have produced scoops that turned out to be true after initial denials. Lately that would be the NY Post and the Daily Mail (the sections reporting on the US).

I used rewriting as a learning experience. I found flutter to be simpler with respect to UI and state management compared to using XML by default for UI. Since mine was a crud app flutter was okay. I later found jetpack compose which has flutter like UI composition and I liked it better since I can access the existing Android library ecosystem too.
If you like this topic, what you’re describing is the essentialist worldview, and in my opinion a major part of societal debates today touch on the rejection of this worldview (classically by existentialists).

Is there stability to who you are? This question can also be asked of nations, of language… And this debate dates back to Plato.
I find that when I regularly exercise and don’t drink at dinner I can put kid to bed and have a few more hours available. But - big but - spending that evening time working has become anathema to me.

The best rule I’ve put in place is work happens during the day or it doesn’t happen.

People usually only think about sexual predators preying on young people, but there are lots of "ideological predators" doing the same thing. Libertarians, communists, religious folks (yes, I know that this post upsets the whole political spectrum).
> It feels as though our society has collectively forgotten that mental illness can be socially transmissible

I mean, that's what religion is. It's a shared delusion that functions as a mind virus, where the conceptualization of deities that are on your side (but not the other side's) is mistaken for there actually being such a thing. The fact that it's normalized doesn't change the fact that it's a delusion.

If it is unavoidable than the question becomes how do we build to handle it instead of how do we prevent it - the first question may involve much more carbon output during the building phase, for example.
I didn't think that UN peacekeepers appeared on battlefields - don't they normally stay in their bases, or patrol peaceful areas? There usually has to be some peace before the peacekeepers rock up.
It's intellectually dishonest to criticize such movements because the vast majority of criticism is coming from people who have never done a lick of study in the fields attempting to diagnose these conditions. Also, apparently it never occurred to people that Google is one of the reasons that more people are getting diagnosed now. Before, people just treated you as weird and allowed you to languish in your own personal little hell. Seeking help at all was seen as a sign of moral weakness. At least now people can go to a doctor and actually get tested for a condition that you recognize having.

I disagree. It has plenty of useful information, but you have to take it all with a grain of salt. I'd much rather work with someone who has read and tries to apply Clean Code than someone who writes a 1000 line function.
One thing that stands out to me is that 10 million (25%) of German households use heating oil.

The United States only has 5 million households that use heating oil. Why haven't they retrofit the houses in Germany (assuming they are older)?
The I710 extension has been officially dead for almost a decade - CalTrans has probably finished selling off all the property they bought by now. I grew up in South Pasadena, the little 25k pop town that killed it, and it was a big deal because tons of money finally became available to repair our shitty roads and stop the hemorrhaging of the school district.
I'd rather use infrastructure to package orthogonal concerns than to figure out how to shoehorn all my concerns into each of many container builds. Keep the containers simpler, no?

This also makes containers more dev friendly, dev accessible.

in today media landscape there are a lot of sources of news about china that can filter out of the Great firewall and that are not pathetically parts of X agendas. I reccommend "the china show", "china in focus", "china update" and "china insights" on Youtube, they show unfortunately a darker face than any Bloomberg or "FOX" could ever do, and accurately (personal opinion).

Btw china has its real estate sector (homes fo speculation, public infrastructure for gov) debt fueld at unsustainable levels (affecting also tax revenues at local level that are dependent or land leasing for financing themselves), the bubble is bursting, how fast and dangerously will depend from gov reaction. bail out is the most sounding solution but the gov is doing too much QE already and will have to make sacrifices here or there. Easy growth is over forever, skills are neeeded now, a problem with XI leadership.
Diet has a lot to do with how your sweat smells too, especially if you eat too much sugar. Btw sweat itself doesn't smell. It's the bacteria on your skin that makes it smell.
So, we only need to do incredibly inefficient atmospheric capture of a one per two thousand part gas at a planet-wide scale with technology that nobody uses in production, with economic incentives that will somehow arise, in a world where gas prices going up 15% causes governments to fall.

We are well on track to get there.
I'll echo the sentiment. I was unaware that thing I saw as 'normal' were more on the 'adhd' side of the spectrum than the 'normal' side. Learning that I was simultaneously not alone and 'rare' has been quite helpful. The reddit for adhd memes have been fun to go through.

The socks one was a childhood fight in our family constantly. I hated certain socks and my siblings loved them. I can remember my dad berating me in a walmart parking lot about my sock preferences and still associate walmart with parental shame to this day. The way the inner sewn lining on the toes got occasionally stuck on my toenails when walking. They still gives me the creeps and heeby-jeebies, just these little mind grabbing zings with every 'wrong' step.
I have that luxury but the next round I’ll just get one powerful laptop and a great screen instead.

Jam | Senior fullstack engineer | Remote

Hey HN! I’m Dani, the CEO of Jam (https://jam.dev), a new dev tools startup building a new way to capture and debug frontend bugs - here's a 90 sec video: https://youtu.be/iXjmUwZLzVs. We have raised $10M+ from the CTO of GitHub, CTO of PagerDuty, CEO of Cloudflare, etc., and are growing quickly. We're a team of strong generalist engineers (mostly early ex-Cloudflare) and we're looking for someone with experience building highly performant front-end apps. The stack is fullstack javascript - react/typescript front end, and node/graphql backend. Every engineer on the team works fullstack. Would love to chat if that sounds interesting to you. You can reach out: dani@jam.dev.
There's value, albeit less in the minor vs patch distinction I think. So you could imagine a world in which SemVer came first, Linux uses it, and we're on 1.5.19 but usually drop the 1. because we've agreed there'll never be a v2.
Of course cash transactions were supposed to be private. There is no need to record the parties involved in a transaction; only that the transaction pays applicable taxes. Did you forget that income tax didn't exist in the US until the 16th ammendment? And that ammendment made no specification that every transaction must be recorded for gov inspection.

Regarding ISPs, you can still hide that info from the gov by routing through a no-log vpn. Your proposal seemingly prohibits that type of mask, purposely.

We cannot give up individual freedoms because it makes police work harder.
There is an argument out there that the UCP camo patterns were more to make US troops distinct from enemy forces and reduce friendly fire than to provide any advantage for camouflage purposes. That it made American troops extremely identifiable by the distinct look of UCP.

I don't know if I believe it, but it makes a little sense. What would have made more sense is if they had allowed tinting it to different colors based on the region. There is an example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WckhOUMfHk
