Very interesting to find this type of sentiment on hn.

But let me clarify: I lived the wow time.

It destroyed 3 relationships from friends I know, it broke carrier chances for 2.

Yes there is a difference between grinding a little bit of gold vs playing it all day, not doing anything else anymore for your life and bragging about being able to buy a month abo with in-game gold

I totally get the appeal of challenges in well running raids but there was always the one person who made the game the only life content.

And yes there are still people being hardcore addicted to games like shooter. Depressed friends risking everything worthwhile for it.

Understithe appeal doesn't invalidate my comment.
I must admit freaking out one morning, having stumbled into work hungover and tired, when my team lead grabbed me on my way in and said "Can we have a word?" and pulled me into a meeting room where the product owner and two levels of management were sitting.

Thankfully they were wanting to ask if I'd like to spend a month training in California!
if the org has funding and you made a thoughtful contribution, I can’t imagine a better signal for knowing you’d be a good hire
It's more of a case of reverse Gell-Mann Amnesia where Marcus is so blinded by his bone to pick with DL that he doesn't realize that Scott is as right/reasonable in writing about AI as those other topics.
I've recently been transitioning over to paid email (I chose fastmail, it's great, but there are many others) for pretty much exactly this reason. Free users are just useless eaters to big companies. Fine when it works, shit out of luck if anything goes wrong. I had a near miss with an old phone number - it worked out in the end but I was left with no illusions about my total lack of recourse if it hadn't.

Turns out, when I asked myself the question "is my email worth $50/year?" the answer was "yes".

It's been a hassle, not gonna lie, and I may never fully get everything transitioned - but it's an important service, and if it's important I want a prompt and easy resolution to any problems. That costs money. Why did we ever think free email was a good idea?
That is what found. It seems it is only a part as FSB widely practices electric shock torture for example, so not many traces left on otherwise reasonably looking bodies (also mobile crematoriums are in use there, so not much is going to be found in many cases at all, especially after Bucha as they know that Ukraine may take the territories back - the option the Russians in Bucha and everywhere else seem to have been dismissing back then in March).
I'm not anti-decentralization. But obviously only a moron would pay for an NFT regardless of the CO2 emissions.
Yeah, no. Doing this would remove the human part from any interaction.
But they do, so it is probably best to include a short note stating the purpose of the desired conversation.

This will also help prime many people, and thereby improve the conversation, so it is probably worth doing even if the person won’t be made anxious.

Not sure how Webauthn works, but as long as it can be stored in the cloud, I'm fine.

Industry is going towards this scheme of physical 2FAs that assume some living conditions appropriate for whoever designs things, without alternatives for people who don't fit that ideal way of doing things. Physical stuff gets lost or stolen. I'm optimizing for when I am traveling from home around the other side of the world, 6 time zones away, and my phone / stuff gets lost.

2FA is already unmanageable at this point: "just use your recovery keys" is what people tell you, but that's NOT a viable solution to the problem. Sorry but my recovery codes are in a safe lock, 10,000 Km away from me, I just lost the purse with my phone, or my device broke, or got stolen, or whatever, and need the damn TOTP code to telework _right now_.
Vehicle identification numbers, which follow an international standard, also have a check digit, even though they contain alphabetic characters.
> The team tested 21 pairs of babies aged 7 months or younger and their mothers. The subjects were drawn from a range of nationalities and races, including those from Japan and Italy.

Very little sample size and lack of control? I'm afraid this is another bad study.
Now that would make me curious!
Well, if your system has to allow clients to send complex queries via API call, then GraphQL might be helpful.

Take a look at GitHub’s GraphQL API as a reference of the type of queries I referred above.

Or a little bit of reading about Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, there is a good book called "CBT for dummies" or something like that. Mindfulness as a tool will train you to observe what happens inside your head and then apply CBT techniques.
I'm pretty old. I've been using computers for a long time, when it was still just something a selected few would do and when it certainly wasn't common that everybody had "a PC" at home. Forget internet.

I've made CS my profession also many, many years ago, certainly before mobile phones (I'm talking _any_ kind of mobile phone, not smart phones in particular) were a thing.

I'm setting all of this context up just for the following mini rant: eternal september is a thing. With all IT now tailored to the unwashed masses, some things had to give. Like, as you say, "most people's passwords" are insecure, but they can also be made very secure without too much effort. The tech-savvy folks are aware of that but the moms aren't - so now _everyone_ (including us who wouldn't really need it) have to deal with nuisances like 2FA.

Computers used to be tools for professionals, now they're basically household appliances. It's a net win, I would say, because life has improved for society as a whole. But something got lost along the way, too.
Seconded.

I'm rather curious as to whether those anxious about a simple inquiry register on the autism spectrum...... This is a tech news site after all.

GDPR Article 16 gives you the right to have inaccurate personal information amended, taking in to account the purpose of the information.

A phone number used for this purpose would definitely identify a person, and so qualify as personal information.
I think I can get what you're saying, but unlike in the EU where true MNVOs exists (which are independent of the backbone carrier and can switch to a different one for a lot of reasons), in Canada they are effectively subbrands of the same carriers. For example, Fido (https://www.fido.ca/) is owned by Rogers (the same company the OP is asking about) and Koodo (https://www.koodomobile.com/en) is owned by Telus but the carriers are "shy" to show that these MNVOs are ultimately owned by the same carriers they want to leave from (try to poke their websites and you'll be hard-press to find that they're subbrands).
Yes, but then you just take your domain and go somewhere else.
The post is missing that the effect of the described behaviour is very context dependant. For example, I am not afraid of my main client at all. If I get a message from him like "Can we talk" it is just that. He wants to talk about something that is not so important or too complicated to describe it in the message. And if I get repeated phone calls it means that he is either on his mobile travelling and is trying to reach me when he has a signal or that he has a limited time-frame to reach me for whatever reason. In other words: Our communication is not scary by default, and if something scary was imminent, he would surely announce it.
You cannot defend your position so you personally attack me.

We're done here.
Excuse me? This is just normal communication.
Available for what though? Work? Chitchat? The point is that context is important.
As a manager, I've sometimes used the technique of adding something like: "It's nothing serious" to the message. Best way of course is giving context but hey, everyone is human.
This sounds like it would give rise to perverse incentives. If this were the case, Google would now be incentivized to cause problems (e.g. lock you out for "suspicious behavior") so that you'll then pay to get it "fixed".
Also depends on the TV you upgrade to: replacing a 50" plasma with an 84" LCD will do nothing to decrease your energy usage.

While plasma uses a bit more energy than LCD it's not that big of a deal (especially if you've got one of the last gen plasma panels) if you don't use it as some sort of moving wallpaper but just turn it off when not in use.
Well, you can just add a simple message to be more specific about what you are talking about and it would not cause someone fear that they screwed up something.
He also read a book called "Paul Simon: The Life" (1279)
It's no extreme. It does work and there are also toys that generate white noise to help babies sleep. Also a lot of Spotify playlists dedicated to this.
They'd hate where I work. Rather than message to ask to call, we just call.

The whole point of calling is to reduce the pain of having to type out a load of stuff that's easier to say and comes with the extra nuances of verbal communication. I can't imagine they'd prefer the repeated flashings of your manager is typing... over minutes.

Just sending "hello" is annoying though, I'll give them that.
I guess it's a bit similar to https://www.nohello.com
The initial message triggers you to worry about an uncertain topic, it's much better to know from the initial message what the conversation will be about
Well, depends if the users that the PR reviewers referred to were paying customers.

If not, at one point I'd stop it. But if it is for paid customers then maintaining such an ancient stack becomes something I'd charge 500 EUR/h and even then it'd likely be a begrudgingly executed task.

At that point it might be best to code a transpiler from your preferred language to Python 2.6, heh.

> do things around the house

This sounds like advice specific for WFH, but it also applies to people working at the office.

The other person may be talking to someone else, in an unscheduled meeting, having a coffee, or simply have notifications off to be able to focus. I used to have them off for most of the day, and just check for messages at a half hour interval, otherwise it’s a total productivity killer. In a real emergency people will reach for a phone call.

About speakerphone, one pet peeve of mine is echo reduction algorithms. They basically turn the conversation into half-duplex. It means that in practice only one person can speak at a time which breaks many aspects of a natural conversation like interrupting each other or acoustically nodding to signify understanding.

I get it, hearing yourself in echo is atrocious, but so is half-duplex so please do your interlocutor a favor and turn off speaker.

> The difference between blu-ray and dvd was barely perceptible—if at all—on most people's TVs, when they came out, while DVDs were plainly much better than VHS on any non-tiny TV manufactured in the 10+ years before they came out, is part of why DVDs made a bigger splash, I think.

This. DVD arrived back in the CRT-era when most screens were both smaller and had lower resolution than modern screens. When Blu-ray hit the market, 32"+ flatscreens had started to become mainstream.

If you try watching a Bluray on a 24" CRT TV then you'd hardly notice the difference when comparing to a high-quality DVD release.
Even better would be having an actual internet standard where development is not mostly dependent on a single VC-funded startup, like XMPP.
Very tangentially related, an old trick that often works with small (dog) puppies crying at night when separated from their mother is to put them into their basket together with a (warm) hot water bottle and a mechanical alarm clock (those old ones that tick very loud) wrapped in a blanket.

In that case it is the combination of (fake) body warmth + (fake) heartbeat that makes them sleep, since we are mammals/animals too, the mechanism for babies is likely similar.
I'm not sure if "spooky" is the right word (why would you assume you're in trouble?), but it sure helps to have context, and if it's just to prepare by opening the right documents to quickly look up stuff. That's why if find the last paragraph the most useful advice here. Please don't break my concentration by writing just "Hello" and having my actively wait for you to type your concern. And please don't wait for me to write "Hello" too before you even start.
When we print a book, how to choose paper for printing? The quality of books depends on the choice of paper. Different paper, the quality and cost to print a book is different. So different book printing services, the choice of paper is also different.
Benefits of Typing V Copy Pasting When Working on New Code
It gets bad when people with odd anxieties project them onto everyone around them.

There's an entire social (edit:changed that word from 'political' which I didn't mean to say) orientation around this.

See the hilarious 2019 Socialist Convention where they talk about people clapping as 'harm' or wearing perfume as 'aggressive' or taking a particular tone as 'oppressive', etc.

"Hey, can we chat!" is now "Triggering" etc.. ?

We're really going to be dragged aside by HR now because "Hey, can we chat?"

Yeah ... no.

I think it's up to the author to seek help.

I don't deny they have an issue, but I'm wary that it's mostly theirs to contend with.
atleast read the link before commenting nonsense.
The lack of info in the inquiry causes the distress, as there is often a reason that the info is being withheld. Otherwise there is usually more information in the request.

"Can we talk?" has only ever come from my managers when someone is leaving. With my family, it is usually because someone has died. Otherwise, there is usually another sentence about what is going to be discussed.
People definitely think about it RE mobile apps and battery life. As well as just leaving electronics on all day vs at least sleeping them. But yea purely for energy cost of using apps, that’s pretty fringe.
> Am I not saying this clearly enough? I'm talking about the 1930s-1950s. If a Black family moved onto your all-white block, everyone would move.

That still does not make the people who chose to leave responsible for violence that developed only after they have left!

Are you happy being held responsible for the development (or lack thereof) of the place you last lived in?
As a new manager this is something I try to do (I already got this advice from some place, I believe it was another HN thread).

Any other tips?
As a receiver of that message I'd say it doesn't help much. The stress comes from the information-less poke.

Ideally you go straight to the point: “hi jack, I need to check in on XXX so we can update the quarterly goals, can you send me Y / can we speak?”. Nothing is gained by checking immediate availability with a greeting message.

Commercialized FOSS projects with a pool of contributors have a talent pool to choose from when hiring that non-free projects can only dream of. How else can you hire someone who (1) is already familiar with your code, (2) already knows your team, and (3) has already been proven to be good at the role?

SourceHut doesn't often hire full-time but we do often find ways to get funding for people on a part-time basis, and 100% of the time we already knew who those people were going to be because of their work in the community. It just makes sense.

At least for Starship robots, the answer is yes. As I understand it, the way it works is that if the robots have any doubt about the safety of continuing, they stop and wait. If they have waited too long, they phone home and someone at the central office teleoperates them to safety, where they're in a position where they can continue autonomously.

The robots can avoid obstacles autonomously, queue up in long robot lines, and even cross the street by themselves when there are no cars.

The manager's behaviour is absolutely appropriate, and not impolite.

Also, someone with antisocial anxieties like this probably would have difficulty with that kind of confrontation.
Also +1 to the Velcro swaddle. Swaddling with a regular piece of fabric is something I mastered in the hospital and then swiftly forgot as soon as we got home. The Velcro swaddle was a game changer.

We transitioned to sleeping bags with arms out as soon as our baby could roll over, and he's still using those now at 14 months.

I feel like it’s relevant to link to some stats here.

https://home.chicagopolice.org/wp-content/uploads/CompStat-P...

And, for more easily visually parseable statistics on homicides, let’s link to…

https://heyjackass.com

…though the commentary there is, let’s just say, less than neutral.

I grew up and went to school in downstate Illinois. Having lived in Chicago for 7 years, and having lived in large cities now for 10 years, I do feel there’s been a shift in perception both in the city and outside. I definitely get nastier vibes from family, and the city does “feel” a bit less safe living here now. (Bit spooky seeing someone drive by at 2am and saw a catalytic convertor right off a car on the street…)

I wish I really knew what this vibe shift (ugh, sorry) meant for the future of the city. I love it here—wouldn’t live anywhere else in the USA. The architecture, the transit, the arts and entertainment, the beautiful lake front…there’s just so much going for it. But perception becomes reality when it comes to things like this. If Chicago becomes truly notorious for crime, there is less investment, and thus less development, and everything comes tumbling down.

(And seriously, I would not move. I live in Uptown, which is, oh, not the safest of neighborhoods. I’ve seen some gnarly crimes and scenes here, but the benefits just so outweigh the potential costs in crime. I am quite willing to gamble a bit of safety so as to not succumb to suburban ennui.)
> You realise

I realise that article you linked is very thin on details and doesn't describe what they actually do with that gas. Neither the Bloomberg article nor the bullshit marketing piece they link to on the Crusoe wbesite have any details what they actually do.

Your claim that they capture and burn it in the generator is just that: a claim.

Is burning that gas in a generator better than just flaring it? Yes. Is it significantly better? That depends on a large number of ifs that we have no knowledge about, and I'm not inclined to just blindly trust the marketing propaganda.

> 100% of output to Bitcoin? Where did you see that? Do they specifically state that? Because I couldn't see it in the article.

The title of the article is literally "This Houston tech company wants to build renewable energy-run bitcoin mines across Texas".

The very first paragraph is literally "raised $150 million to build bitcoin mines across Texas that will run on renewable energy".

It's not "we're building useful wind farm and redirecting excess energy to bitcoin mining". It literally is "we're building wind farms to exclusively power bitcoin farming".

But sure, we are to trust them that "In times of scarcity, our data centers will go down". Because we know that this is what will surely happen.

> Bitcoin is an energy buyer of last resort so that the energy isn't wasted.

Bitcoin is never the energy buyer of last resort. Because it needs continuous power supply to generate profit.

> why I bother explaining all this to people like you.

Ah yes. It only took one reply to derail into insults. Couldn't expect less from a crypto maximalist.

> It won't affect the economic incentives for a faster transition to renewables.

Indeed. Those same economic incentives that you pretend will surely make those mines shut down when demand outstrips supply.

> You'll just be proven wrong in a few decades,

No, I won't be proven in the next few decades.

> You haven't yet figured out the difference between Bitcoin and the wider "crypto" industry, which is almost entirely a scam.

And that difference is... what exactly?
I think we're still in the experimental phase of lots of novel types of social information exchange.

Building in public is very much an experimental form of communication. It's a new way to think and operate and it's not something with a strong set of conventions and norms. That means that you have to think much more about how you're communicating, not just what you want to say.

Building in community means sharing information with a specific set of people who have a shared perspective. Conventions and norms do exist and you have a good sense of how people will interpret and understand your words. This is the kind of context where it is easier to be more authentic and less performative.

I think that a good chunk of people who build in public whould say that they are actually building in community. They get the sense of a shared perspective and the community has established some its own conventions and norms. I don't think there's always a clear seperation between these two concepts.

As an interesting example of how these two concepts overlap is in the Zig community[0]. The community is decentralized - does that mean they are building in community AND in public?

I was just talking to an author who published an ad on Facebook for their sci fi book. They had the word "beat" in the ad. The FB algo said that words intills people to violence, banned her account for 2 months, and kept all the ad money.

Funny enough, her book is about the dangers of an algorithm-based AI supersystem...
