> you are opting out of modern society

Yes. That's the whole point. You have a choice. Not only do you have a choice, but you can switch back and forth whenever you like. How can that be a bad thing?

> You can’t amble around and meet people

First, that's not really true. There are plenty of places you can still meet people.

Second, why would you want to "amble around and meet people"? The odds that you will have anything in common with some rando you meet on the street is pretty small. You're much better off using Meetup if you want to meet people.

(And the difficulty of meeting people nowadays has a lot more to do with covid than it does with cell phones.)
Wow, Thats crazy, but as it should be. Hope the employees get OT.
They apparently executed a 21 year old woman. Six bullets to the face, chest and neck. Her name is Hadis Najafi. Family was apparently pressured by IRI security services to accept "heart attack" as cause of death. They refused. What an amazing family!

[One picture is post-execution - forewarned]

Hussein Ronaghi (who must be some sort of superhero in unassuming human attire) left a video testament before presenting himself at the judiciary. Where he was promptly set upon by government agents to administer initial justice right in front the building. Last heard from, according to his mother, he is in hospital with a broken legs. Beaten after his arrest. His lawyers are apparently also under arrest for good measure.

Btw, NYTimes neglected to devote a single sentence to the fact that the reporter (female) and photojournalist (male) team that reported the murder of 22 year old Mahsa Amini. US and EU are negotiating with the Islamic Republic and actually covering this may be bad for business, right NYTimes?

Maybe the economic ramifications of Brexit were not fully thought out before everyone decided to vote for it.
JSON has a few rough points that make it frustrating to parse. Like for example, most values requiring open and ending tags, no trailing commas allowed (so you must either be lax and non-compliant or backtrack the parser on last element), and other similar edge cases.

This results in making it extraordinarily easy to break most parsers in use, today. For example, to kill Python:

n="$(python3 -c 'import math; import sys; sys.stdout.write(str(math.floor(sys.getrecursionlimit() - 4)))')"

left="$(yes [ | head -n "$n" | tr -d '\n')"

echo "$left" | python3 -c 'import json; print(json.loads(input()))'

That's a less than 1000-character long object, that can explode. Whilst there are more robust parsers you can get for Python, it doesn't change the fact that generating bad JSON is _easy_.

So when you're handling something like email, on a mobile device which may drop a partial connection, you need a hell of a lot of extra work to show the partial download, which might even be everything except the closing braces, or you have to discard the whole thing - which isn't kind to your user.
I assume you are talking about the dismissal of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam?

The Queen's involvement seems to have been little or none. They is some suggestion that her advisors might have know that the Govenor General was contemplating it, but not much beyond that.

Certainly she wasn't pulling this strings behind it.

Crazy times it wasn't long ago that a pound bought over $2.

The interesting thing this week is that the most fragile and indebted country that the EU has bailed out for 30 years straight (Italy) has elected a govt that doesn't like the EU. Good times ahead.
That was kind of a ... weird example. I don't think I've asked many people in my circle if they think they "owe" anything to their parents, but by their actions I'd say 90% of them do think they owe a lot to them, and have a profound duty to care for them as they age.

I live in Canada, but I can't imagine it's that much different in the US.
Nice. Seems to be a real improvement over diceware.

> We manually checked and attempted to remove as many profane, insulting, sensitive, or emotionally-charged words as possible, and also filtered based on several public lists of vulgar English words

I kind of wish they had a list _without_ this step though. Vulgar and emotionally charged words are easy to work into stories and easy to remember.
To be fair, enlisting peer pressure to help you keep your resolutions is a perfectly legitimate tactic if you're the sort of person that works for. The reason apps like are bad and should be felony-illegal is that they're mostly used to force victims to obey someone else's resolutions, to the point that the whole class of software is named after the fact that the typical intended victims are children: "parental controls" or "nannyware".

IMAP is an ancient behemoth in strong need of modernization. JMAP is the replacement we have. Could modernization have been done with a dedicated protocol? I guess so. But no one (including you) did the work to get it done, so JMAP it is.
What this did well, which I struggled with with some other (open source) parsers, is that it keeps things together that are visually together. Tables in HTML are a coherent object, but in PDF I guess they're often rendered as just some text boxes, and other parsers I've used would pull the text from the table cells in a seemingly unnatural if not random order. I don't have a specific need anymore at the moment, but I will think of Pdfgrep in the future, for this reason.
> You can't convince someone in the West to think anything otherwise than that stated above.

That isn’t at all a uniform view in the West. I grew in a community where people expressed a great deal of what might be called filial piety. Not everyone held or maintained that belief though.
> For example, how do you stop a company from buying publicly traded shares, which is basically buying a company

What do you mean, how do you stop? All this is regulated. Just make it a regulation can a company can't buy shares. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but the notion that it couldn't be done is nonsense.
I think it's too early to tell, and it depends (a lot) on how the next ~25 years go. Probably not though, but that's mostly because both a) the world is so much better than it was pre-industrial revolution and b) I don't think that leap was possible without fossil fuels. It's not because pollution/CO2 turned out to not be a problem, quite the opposite.

With Starlink - offering cheap and high-speed internet access to currently underserved places is absolutely good and important, maybe even critical for long-term success and stability of some regions. It's not clear that this is the best way to do that. Kessler syndrome, light pollution, potential upper-atmosphere effects (ozone depletion), should not just be waved away. It's just more externalities piling up. Rich countries should be subsidizing these underserved areas around the world so they can put in infrastructure - cell stations, fiber lines, etc. - rather than filling up the sky.
This looks really neat. I wish I had known about it in gradschool. I used helm-bibtex to manage my bibliography (which is awesome, and about 10x better than mendelay). If you combined pdfgrep with the semantic information helm-bibtex already has, that would be super powerful.

Etymology is hard, the week “ne-delya” could be understood as something that cannot be divided, “not-divisible”. I am not sure which one is correct.
The passage about constraints is technically technically incorrect due to Liebig's Law of the Minimum and the fact that every recursion has a fixed point.

Thankfully, this doesn't actually invalidate the point the same passage makes, but it sure does reframe it a lot.

This seems as good as any other suspect to me. What would make this more convincing if they could offer a reason as to why he stopped the killings. Was it something in his personal life his daughter could help determine perhaps.
I am an Iranian and I am with you. I have seen what this tyrannical government is capable of. We as Iranian living abroad 1) can sent letter to our representative to make sure we cut the funding to this government 2) keep protesting and keep the momentum going. They can't win.

I think it’s additive. We like to feel smart and can over complicate things. I much prefer a boring non-trendy approach that’s easy to maintain over new hotness every time.
Want I want to know is, are we going to start seeing hobbits and elves in government office?
Depends on what you mean by “senior”. If a company has only been around for 3 years or or less, what’s so wrong with a candidate who only sticks at a place for 1.5 years.
(shrug) I could probably say about IMAP that it looks like it has been developed by hardcore Lisp fanboys. Boils down to someone’s yum being someone else’s yuck.

And now, 13 years after Lustig's "Sugar: the Bitter Truth" totally convinced me it was sugar and not fat, and sugar consumption has decreased while obesity has increased, I'm unconvinced it's sugar either. It's some environmental contaminant.

The multiplexing of requests has me pretty interested.

If I made myself the spare time, or had a business model, I would love to implement chat bridges (for personal, self-hosted) small-scale use, using JMAP.

I like, I'm hopeful for the potential of, the promise of, REST-ful state transfer but with multiplexing of requests internal to the protocol.

Think of the protocol as sending a git-patch to modify state, instead of sending a diff per file, "resource".

Analogous to how QUIC (which is still adding standardization features) works around the problem of head of line blocking on TCP connections (and on http2's HTTP sequentially multiplex-able response streams), a core theme supporting in existing JMAP for email & attachments is multiple application requests per web-request, on-the-wire payload.

Said another way, I appreciate the multiplexing in:
- per web request,
- per application request (JMAP adds multiplexing here)
- per resource, accessible to the user, on the server,
- you can create, read, update, delete, move, etc.
Same here. I use `cat` as a tool to read data from the filesystem into a pipeline, regardless if that's the initial intention of the tool. I don't want the input filename being to the right of the first manipulation command in a pipeline that's supposed to read left to right!

At some point soon, Fab lines are going to become long term investments, instead of being depreciated in 5 years. Wafers won't get any larger, transistors won't get any smaller, and it'll be on our hands as programmers to tweak every last ounce of performance out of things again.

I know the "demo" scene folks are keeping the craft alive, and it gives me hope for the future.

Of course, an array of non-cached, non-optimized but very simple and low power processors in a grid can do a lot more work than a single instruction-reordering monster trying to make a single thread go ever faster.

I tend to think people underestimate the amount of govt investment that happens in our communities which will be neglected if left to private enterprise alone.

There needs to be a balance on taxation as too low can limit the ability of the govt to invest when needed.

Also your point assumes money will fairly transfer from private business to citizens when businesses have lower taxes? I don't think that is necessarily true.

I don't know much about the British tax system so can't say if the announced change is good or bad. The market however appears to be worried.
I can't remember who to credit for this quote, "fingerprints are usernames, not passwords."
Ask HN: How have you found your “why”-s?
I am the moment in my life where I don’t feel connected to my inner voice anymore.

That one, that pushes you to exploring the world or doing all those crazy and silly things when you’re a kid.

The same one which helps you make hard choices and sparks passion later in life.

At the same time i am not depressed. I am not burnt out or anything like that. I live relatively safe, healthy and moderately challenging life of a father, husband and a software engineer in my 30s.

Yet I often feel the emotional emptiness inside and deep silence when trying to ask myself about my deepest motivations and desires.

From whatever direction i approach it, the only answer to any “why” is “I don’t know”.

If you have found your personal inner light and your own answers to the most fundamental questions — please share your path to it, what and how helped you.

Ps: please avoid generic philosophical speculations and psychological advice, it’s not worth anybody’s time.

Just your personal story if you want to share one. Thank you.
2008 didn't really effect tech that much. In dot-bomb, a lot of people were out of work for a long time and many left the industry. I was lucky to find something fairly quickly but it was a significant pay cut. (Not developer but in "tech").
Why is this important? Maybe it was, but the ISO standard now is that Sunday is the last day of the week.
There's a simple trick that allows professionals in a given field to change their minds about something fundamental in their field - basically, it's the Feynman approach, where he trained himself to accept the data and analysis even if he didn't like the result, from an aesthetic viewpoint or whatever. A key strategy here is to have something else to put your ego and emotions into, such as a very subjective area like art, music, literature, etc.

Politics and religion might be trickier, as people tend to have external forcing factors (family and work opinions) that respond negatively to a fundamental change of some sort or other, up to being sent to prison for a decade for apostasy (see Saudi Arabia). In such situations, even if people do change their minds, they may not broadcast that change to anyone over fear of retaliation at family gatherings or in workplace environments. Even in cases where a particular member of a political party or religious group is shown to be criminally corrupt, many people will still embrace the politics or religion, on the basis that the individual in question is an outlier, not a representative sample - even after dozens of such examples are exposed. (Practically, this is why I've made it a rule to avoid political or religious discussions at work or at family gatherings, there's just not much value to be found there).
Read anything Charlie Munger writes on the topic. He said something to the effect of “A year in which you fail to kill at least one of your cherished ideas is probably a failed year.”

Anyway, he has a lot to say on the subject and on incentives and human psychology broadly.

I bought an oculus not long ago and the roller coaster game has a free download to try. I was sick within minutes and felt sick for hours. Decided it was just the roller coaster and the high turns and unpredictable movements. Tried another awesome game another day called echo vr and didn’t find any sickness from it. Then I got Red Matter a walk around puzzle game and again O was so sick playing it. Many people said if I just played a bit each day and stopped before I felt sick it would eventually stop. And it did. Now I can play vr without sickness but it was not easy at first. My tip would be take it easy for new comers and the second you feel off stop and come back another day.
It is true the government can redistribute funds into investment. It’s also true if the citizens don’t make any money, the government will have little to tax and redistribute.
that was resources/materials problem not content problem. To make a book back then involved paying a scribe to handwrite on a parchment which is made of sheeps skins. it usually took about 425 sheep skin to make one bible for example. Yet libraries still existed. Copyright by contrast has never been about incentivizing literary creation but the opposite. It was in fact was put in effect as a censorship mechanism where the printers where given exclusive right to copy a written works in exchange for not printing book that parliament objected to. Under the Statute of Ann, the first copyright law, an author did not have right to his work the printer did.
The actual title is "Adversarial Collaboration: An EDGE Lecture by Daniel Kahneman". "People don't change their minds" is just the tagline, and he doesn't even actually say it in the lecture. The focus is much more on adversarial collaboration and why he thinks it is a positive thing for science.

...does that change your mind? ;)

There are 3 different kinds of email services that only have limited interoperability:

* Corporate email services, aka Outlook/Exchange

* Surveillance email services, aka Gmail, etc

* Real email services that expose the raw email database, such as Maildir, to the users.

For the first 2 kinds, I'd rather POP and keep my interaction with them to the minimum. For the last kind, IMAP/JMAP is too limiting in capability.
the almost comical resignation of several politicians at the time which resulted finally in the confidence of parliament resting on the shoulders of a an unaccountable buffoon certainly led me to assume the decision had all the ramifications of rolling a pinless grenade into a packed bus. the hubris that followed in not immediately or eventually working to overturn the mistake however has led me to conclude england intends to burn itself to the ground before it capitulates to admitting a mistake.
The Qeng Ho in Deepness in the Sky had the right idea. They traveled from planet to planet in STL ships, and counted time purely in seconds. They had to account for relativity, but nothing else.

A short task might take a kilosecond (about 16 minutes), a watch schedule might plan for activities covering a megasecond (close enough to a month for you and me), while a gigasecond is a good chunk of your life (32 years).

"Calendar frippery" was left entirely to the civilations they visited. Since individual civilizations rarely lasted long enough to see repeat visits from the same ship, it wasn't important for the traders to learn the local calendar in any detail. One of the characters opines that you know you have stayed in port too long when your crew start using the local calendar.

I’m in the same boat as you, having changed my mind on many big, cherished ideas. Obviously, people change their minds.

Having some familiarity with Kahneman, my guess is he means this is a general, but not absolute rule. Sort of like “You can’t convince someone of a wrong if their paycheck depends on them seeing it as a right.” It’s a helpful general, but not absolute rule.

The Fenix 7 supports dual frequency GPS. That and the battery life improvements seem to be the significant differentiators between the Fenix 6 and 7. I’ve gotten very used to the Fenix UI when backpacking and have it basically committed to muscle memory at this point. For that reason I’d much prefer to upgrade my Fenix every other generation than move to the Apple Watch. Also, if you’re hiking with some sunlight, the solar charging feature of the solar editions of Garmin watches are quite nice. I’ve squeezed a few extra days of the watch before thanks to solar, and that’s been invaluable.
Solving Scurvy
Yeah, this is my only complaint about my Fenix 6. Total lack of any kind of app ecosystem. I don't even know how they'd manage to create one without some sort of open standard for delivering richer notifications to watches or something. It's a bummer.
