That seems.. unnecessarily harsh? I am not going to play armchair psychiatrist though. With that in mind allow me to focus on a technical piece:

<<You've forced your decision of not upgrading to the latest windows version.

Hmm. Why would you assume it was forced? At the time, my wife could barely mount an objection in that area. From her perspective, if status quo is maintained, it is good. Beyond that though, Windows 7 upgrade was an effective downgrade ( addition of telemetry being one sticking point, but there were others ).

Edit: I am not going to respond to this portion of the post anymore. I dislike playing a game of gotcha especially if I do not see a good faith effort to respond to me. Apart from everything else, I do not think it is in the spirit of HN.
I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm saying that it's the wrong conversation to be having for a harmonious relationship built on mutual respect. The right conversation focuses on her needs and pain points, and a suggestion for a Linux alternative that could help would be one option on the table. If she goes with Linux, and she might, then that's good, but, she may not, and she has a right to that choice too.

Imagine how obnoxious your position would be if you were a vegan or keto dieter trying to wean her off meat or carbs?
In the backcountry help is farther away than it is in the city. That applies no matter how you call for help. I've got an inReach but I would expect it to be hours from pushing the button to help showing up unless it was something very urgent and there happened to be a chopper around that could reach where I was. On top of the highest peak in the area I wouldn't be surprised at help taking 8 hours to arrive.

As for whether it's worth it--it depends on what you're doing. As a backcountry hiker that often goes solo I consider it essential insurance. If something happens that's likely the only way I would get help rather than ending up like the guy on our local mountains that disappeared a couple of weeks ago--certainly dead by now (there's no water to be had) but his body hasn't been found.
I made our TV an Ubuntu box. Now she knows how to use Ubuntu as well as she does Windows and iOS. Which is to say not at all, really. Click browser, browse.
Of course they're not invaded, we Banana Republic or Contra their asses, conversely we squeeze the everloving shit out of them through finance. There's also simply the concept of a persistent credible threat: look at a map of US bases. Note also I did indicate that it wasn't the exclusive determinant by using the phrase "one of those lines."

We've also fucked with Cuba, Iran, Venezuela.

Iraq did have oil and the Saudis were using directional drilling to tap it, which initiated the first Gulf War. Palestine is a proxy war.

Until the US is critically weakened, France will not trade in Francs or Rubles or etc... And Europe is dependent on the US for continued geopolitical stability.
I've used standard foam earplugs to sleep in a place where deranged screaming and snoring loud enough to wake the dead is commonplace and I'm _very_ sensitive to noise.

It's possible that you're inserting them incorrectly, most people do. Roll up the foam, insert while pulling your ear back (!). Hold it in while continuing to hold your ear back for 10-15 seconds, long enough for the foam to expand, and then release. This should result in at least as good of a block as you can get with your fingers. Note that there shouldn't be any foam protruding from your ear -- if your head on a pillow feels like it's pressing on the earplug, it's not in far enough.

Kind of like capitalism?
Norway is a special case with huge oil wealth relative to its population. The U.S. cannot sensibly have a "sovereign wealth fund" before it extinguishes the national debt, which it continues to increase with large budget deficits.
> so the low-hanging fruit is to take agricultural waste (currently burned or left to rot) and bury it.

Which would, as in the case with 'cut and bury trees' deplete the soil of non-carbon nutrients. There's a reason farmers leave that waste 'to rot'.
Thinking of getting heat pump washer/dryer and heat pump hot water cylinder.
> In that case, you aren't doing cryptography in Python. You're using cryptography in Python.

One of the great things about the Python community is that we don't have these kinds of artificial hangups. You just solve the problem, and if part of the solution involves something that someone wrote in a different programming language, that's fine.

Earlier this year, I implemented ECIES in Python. Not a very complicated algorithm, but it still needed to be done. So there is C involved in the underlying EC and AES implementations, big deal, I don't see how that should disqualify my ECIES work from being "doing cryptography".
I'm just going off of the statement %99.99999whatever of torrent use is for illegal purposes, which is a BS statistic.
>Yet you've decided that the best solution for her is an OS that requires debugging miscellaneous hardware and driver issues and runs a mishmash of software with no consistent UI language.

I guess you've never tried Linux Mint with Cinnamon or anything similar. I've honestly had way more issues with Windows 10 than Mint. Before switching to it I had never even touched Linux, yet I found the transition to using it as my daily driver very easy. Everything I need to do for basic use can be done through UI, it's intuitive and quite similar to what I got used to with Windows 7. The only thing I miss is some Windows-software like MS Office.

It's all about which distro you choose. At work I use RHEL with Gnome and it's nowhere near as beginner-friendly as Mint with Cinnamon.
Once you use this definition, everything becomes much simpler

Only if use a similar newspeak definition for "simpler".
Regarding nitrogen fixing, my understanding is that 'green manure' & cover crops take from the air, leave in the soil - but microorganisms sounds like it's more in the context of composting, where whatever waste material is 'broken down'. So not 'soil' in the sense of 'it was already there anyway', but rather.. 'in the ground but needing to be made smaller and more available'.
Here it is: https://okturing.com/src/14174/body

Just say if something needs explaining. There are some references to other fines in there, like the deployment index (its just list of files to deploy) and the comment blob (it is just a notice that people can comment by e-mail.
A real problem is when something like this occurs

x, err := thisFuncFails();
// some other lines of code, but err is not checked
x.callMethod(); // this crashes at runtime

unless you explicitly ignore `err`, the compiler shouldn't allow you to use `x` without checking err. In Rust/Zig this is accomplished with the union types, which doesn't allow to use `x` until you have checked it's not an error. This is also very useful for Option types; and I wish it was in Go since the beginning as having `nil` in the language is a huge mistake.
Sounds like the Apple version lets you send some info also. And I would generally expect search and rescue to be able to get to you faster than friends.

The link referred to: https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.as...

Wow, "biased source", what a word!

I think aside from the universal "China is bad" theme, the other theme closely related in Asian political discussion in HN, is that "Japan already did her part for their WWII and imperialism war crimes"...

Unfortunately, no.

Japan has never addressed the issue with any nations that they invaded in WWII. Literally, each and every suffered from Japanese imperialism invasion still have deep and broad hostility towards Japan whenever the topic start to divert to WWII and the era.

I have no idea was it Japan government intentionally doing this inadequate job, or are they simply incompetent on this matter.

But to call this website "heavily biased"... Bravo, this is borderline racism towards the people living in the nations suffered from Japanese invasions.
Yeah, it was some strange content but definitely nothing criminal, and especially nothing warranting purging the forum from everywhere.

It looks more like some personal vendetta that this "keffels" person had against them.

4chan had much worse content, yet even they were not entirely purged from the internet...
I think it gets even more complicated with something like firecracker where they recommend you run firecracker in a jail (and provide a utility to set that up)
It pays to game any system, that's why keeping things honest, functional and human is a perpetual effort.

Advocating a fixed view/system, that all we have to do is accept certain fundamentals as all we need, that's how you can tell who's openly trying to game this system. Gaming a system is cheapest if the system doesn't change, after all.
Years ago, I had a very local Hongkong Chinese boss. My holidays were constantly being challenged as "Hey, can you move that holiday?" By dumb luck, I was listening to him one day talk to his boss about an upcoming wedding. "It is so important. I cannot miss that wedding." After that, every single holiday of mine was a wedding or funeral. And I heard him several times "defend" my holiday plans: "Oh, he cannot move that holiday -- wedding/funeral". Ri-don-kulous!
The biggest and most battle tested implementation is certainly Erlang OTP and not Akka. I'm actually happy more attention will be given to ol' boring Erlang now.

I have read that Americans have access to 30yr fixed rate mortgages.

Is that a full 30 years at the same rate, or is it, say, 5 years at the initial rate, and then you negotiate the next 5 year rate? The latter is how it works in Canada: 30 years to pay it off, but the rate is guaranteed for a much, much shorter period.

‘Cause if it’s the former, all y’all were nuts not to lock in a 30yr loan. Virtually any investment would pay better than the interest on the loan. Especially on a 30yr timeline.
Semi-counterpoint: I tried interviewing for Go jobs and asked the inconvenient questions early.

TL;DR: 11 out of the 12 preliminary interviews were about companies seeking maintainers of "legacy" Go code after important contributors left.

Most server-oriented linux distributions come with fairly sensible defaults.

Maybe wouldn't set up a pubnix on them without some tweaking, but for most use cases the defaults are sane. Maybe disable password login on SSH and if you're worried.

Set up a honeypot if you don't believe me.
This is so unbelievably condescending and frankly, gross.

Why do you get to choose what OS your wife uses? She likes Windows, for whatever reason. Why do you feel entitled to change what she’s using? How would you feel if someone tried to replace your Linux distro of choice with MacOS or a well-configured WSL2 setup? You’d probably be annoyed, even if you could do everything you did before, albeit in a different way.

Look, I understand the support concerns with a family member using an OS you don’t like. But the move isn’t to force them or trick them into something else.

I was able to get my mom to switch to macOS, which is my preference, 13 years ago. She was already used to iOS and Macs made more sense to her. My father, on the other hand, does not like Macs. I was able to get him to use a Chromebook for a time, but it broke and he went back to Windows. A few weeks ago, I bought him a new laptop that I got a great deal on (that was the price of a mid-tier Chromebook but significantly better specs and a much larger SSD), installed some extra RAM (that he probably didn’t need but he’s my dad and I love him and it was only $50) and I did a clean install of Windows 11 before I ever even logged into the machine. He’s exceedingly happy. And without the pre installed malware, I’m very happy to act as remote tech support if I need to.

When I shared this with people, the overwhelming response from fellow nerds was that I should have bought him a computer he did not want (a MacBook), a lesser-computer that he’d already had a bad experience with (a Chromebook), or forced him to use Linux. You know what my dad would do if I tried to force him into Linux? He’d go to the store and buy himself a more expensive and shittier Windows laptop than the one I got him and then get suckered into Best Buy Geek Squad bullshit. And I’d still be stuck supporting him on Windows. But now it would be even worse.

I say all this because your wife, like my father, is an adult. And she gets to choose what computer she uses. She’s not a child and she’s not your property. Let her like what she likes!

And trying to convince someone that Libre Office is the same as Office 365 is a really, really mean thing to do for anyone that shares documents with others.
As if the city wasn't bad enough, I guess they would rather let people get hooked on even more drugs instead of fix anything.

Maybe if they are high enough they will not be able to tell how bad things are.
How does one get access? I've written CAB processes for this in the past and I'm not sure doing it robotically will be an improvement in that but I'd be happy to take a look. I just put my email on the early access list.
I didn’t mean unlimited free power. I’d basically propose that the government would pay for as many solar panels as you can fit on your roof plus a battery in the garage or in a utility room. For apartments, the government would pay for some solar panels installed on a solar farm and you’d get a certain amount of energy for free covering the typical energy use of the size of your apartment. So we’re mainly just covering normal domestic usage. Of course if you’ve got anything spare you’re free to use that mining crypto but I don’t think that’s what the majority of households are really going to be doing.
Are you sharing the Acura/Honda or is it _your_ car? Because if it’s your car then it is forcing an opinion. If it’s shared it’s different because you both will use it. (Not to mention the price difference here)

Laptop is hers, for her, to be used by her, therefor it’s her choice not yours.

Advise and suggest, but recognize in the end people are allowed to make the personal choice they want even if you don’t like it or agree.
A bit tangential to the main point covered in the post.

>> Becoming rich and famous is mostly a matter of luck.

I am not sure if I agree with this completely.

I recently watched a Netflix movie "Look both ways" with my wife. The movie shows parallel timelines in which the protagonist despite facing different scenarios ends up with a very similar fate in the end. That movie got me thinking if our life's trajectory is based on a few defining moments, or if it is more about the small decisions we make everyday.

For example, if Amazon/Meta didn't work out for Bezos/Mark, where do you think they would end up. My guess is they would still be running some big successful companies, as founders or CEOs or VPs.

Windows 10 or 11, turn off the ads/suggestions in Settings and install ublock origin on Edge/Firefox/Chrome or whatever and it should be fine.
Frankly - this is a statement that is completely disconnected from the post.

He's getting asked to purchase a laptop for her - that means this is a place where she's already deferring to his choices on tech (likely for good reason - he's probably the domain expert in the family, whether he wanted it or not).

> "she has a lifetime of legitimate experiences and is at the wheel of her ship"

I utterly agree - so she can go buy her own laptop and set it up herself if it's really bugging her. If she's defaulting to him for these chores... then she gets the output he gives her.
This is addendum, not correction.

Rituals have a few distinct elements:

+ Repetition both in the ritual and of the ritual itself.

+ Assigned time or place. Eg praying before dinner, or Christmas mass.

+ Fetish. Some kind of object or words, a "solidification of intent". This can be a garment or some specific movement too.

So yes, an anthem is absolutely a ritual, as is a specific cheer for a sports team, under this framework.

Rituals serve several purposes including fostering group identity (the family praying before dinner together), marking something as special (the anthem before a sports game) and demarcation (Christmas mass). Obviously a ritual can fulfill some or a blend of these objectives.

Rituals, I believe, matter for the subconcious and non-rational parts of the human psyche. I think intentional, religious or non-religious, rituals are a useful tool.

Rent control is a necessary "evil" because of absolute scumbag landlords who increase rents just because they can. They're vampires, sucking as much blood from people deemed lower class as they can. If their tenant gets a raise, they think they're entitled to just take that extra money by increasing rent.

And before someone says "Well they can just find another place!", yeah, no, that doesn't work. All the the other landlords are just as scummy.

I would cal it valuing my time. I don't want to spend an hour or two a day learning something new when I've already invested in learning something that solves my problems good enough.

Can I have gripes about the quirks and how some things could be better? Sure. Is it worth throwing the baby with the bathwater and learning something entirely new? Highly unlikely.
> But these are human assessed metrics.

OK, and? I could guess what the problem with this is, but let's spell it out... maybe that they are subjective so different assessors can disagree... and this is a problem why?

What if there are some cases where it's actually important to use human-assessed metrics as one component, or even as the entire thing, cases where no appropriate 'objective' metrics are available? (In scare quotes, because these quantitative metrics are seldom _quite_ as 'objective' or independent from human judgement as assumed. There is usually human judgement involved in how the metrics are defined and measured, where different people might define and measure a metric different ways resulting in different numbers...)
Given this came out in 2019, notably absent is any mention of Bluetooth LE Audio, Bluetooth 5.2, and the new LC3 codec, which may resolve some of the problems mentioned here.

I think I accidentally got a good order because of the ad hoc learning I did as a child. I first encountered Commodore/Apple II/IBM through text-mode games/Wordperfect/typing programs in from magazines, then > learned C which gave me an idea of how they worked > learned microcontrollers then understood how the keyboard and monitor worked and how to drive things like that > then logic, electronics and transistors to figure out how microcontrollers worked (and how to make sense of digital voltages) > finally the D-latch.

I do have to admit I had a multiuser OS sized hole for a while. The computers in my head were Harvard architecture RISC, generally programmed in assembly, and were driving pin voltages. But it was close enough.

So an accidental process of being introduced to things as black boxes, then opening the black boxes. Still linear, but backwards. Needless to say, I loved Code when it came out and gave away at least four copies. I would tell people who thought I knew a lot about computers "this book contains pretty much everything I know about computers."

I actually think computing lends itself well to that because it is built in layers. You can talk about how a layer behaves before talking about how it was made to behave that way. The problem I think people run into is that some come to think lower levels of abstraction are a waste of time from a combination of pragmatism ("I don't care how it works") and sour-grapesism ("I don't know how it works so it doesn't matter.")
VMs don't need a full OS. You can run a single process directly from the kernel with no init system or other userland

100%. In fact, let's be less scientific and more creative: 200%! My current job's entire lack of creativity is what's burned me out, made me unproductive (when for 3.5 years I was one of the most productive members of my team), and gotten me to the edge of the Quit Before You're Fired ultimatum. To put it into perspective, I've been coding to the letter of client functional requirements and hundreds of slides of detailed mock-ups so much that the two most creative things I've done at work in the past 4 years have been adding a nav menu filter (i.e. a textbox that runs Array#filter onChange) and converting a render loop of checkboxes into a render loop of multi-select options. Legitimately, a select box and an array filter are the most creative things I've been able to do at my job in four years. It's miserable.

These are all different physicists. The ones doing other things are competing for the money being spent on the fusion projects instead.

I would rather the other ones get it, because maybe something of value might come from that.

That said, plasma fluid dynamics physicists are chronically underfunded, and they can often use money from fusion projects for their experiments. I never begrudge money to plasma fluid dynamics physicists. But we shouldn't expect to get useful fusion out as a result.
Wildfire is a natural part of many forest ecosystems, so it is definitely worth factoring that into plans for CO2 capture. Perhaps we can lean more heavily on high carbon capturing forests for construction and furniture again.

Measure the general up-votiness of each sub, and scale cross-sub karma based on this value. A +100 post on a sub with 1000 members on a technical topic where people tend to downvote for minor errors is worth way more than a +1000 post on a fast-moving sub that's mostly reposted memes.
