Like the author of this article, I have a bad sleep schedule. It's something that came about from over 2 years of unemployment (and still job searching).

I kept a log of my job applications from last year. Going over them recently, I noticed that the timestamps gradually creeped up from afternoon to late evening as the year ended. I had a set "application window" of an hour but that window gradually shifted more and more into the night. I now go to bed very late around 4am and usually wake up at 1pm.

For some reason I find it hard to give the morning a "greater purpose" when you don't have a 9-5. There's not much in outdoor hobbies that I want to do (or afford to do) and I clean sporadically, no set schedule. I feel much less worse being awake and inside in the late night hours than to be up in the morning hours with nothing productive, so I just sleep through those morning hours. My peak energy has shifted more towards the late night.

Looking to see if I perhaps need an accountability partner. I am single and don't talk to close friends as much and even if I did they wouldn't be available most of the day because of their work schedules.
Of course. And that kind of action would make corporations sit up.

But what a government can do, and what its politicians will do are very different things. The political backlash for going nuclear on corporations would be massive and sustained. Not even good acting corporations want that kind of thing happening.

Regarding, Uber and your country: your point makes my point stronger.

A whole country is now off limits to Uber, but on the whole, across all the countries, their aggressive behaviors has been a win for them anyway. Just another cost of business.
While probably true, it is nearly impossible to prove a negative....

The author can't remember how to do a for-loop in Bash, so he invented something that is Python, but also isn't Python, because straight Python doesn't work in the context of Ken Thompson's original command shell from 1971?

....just so the author doesn't have to look at StackOverflow, here is his Python example in the video:

for i in range(5):
if i:
print(i)

Here it is in POSIX Shell/Bourne Shell/Bash/whatever:

for i in 1 2 3 4 5
do
echo $i
done

The fancy version:

for i in `seq 1 5` ; do
if [ $i -gt 0 ] ; then
echo $i
fi
done

Fancier:

for i in $(seq 1 5) ; do
[ $i -gt 0 ] && echo $i
done

Mucho Fancy (Bash-only):

while read -r NUM ; do
[ "$NUM" -gt 0 ] && echo "$NUM"
done < <(seq 1 5)

Uber Fancy: Internal Seq w/Arrays & References (Bash v4+ only):

_internal_seq () {
declare -n aref="$1"
local counter="$2" end="$3"
while [ "$counter" -le "$end" ] ; do
aref+=("$counter")
counter="$((counter+1))"
done
}
declare -a numbers=()
_internal_seq numbers 1 5
for i in "${numbers[@]}" ; do
echo "$i"
done

The version I actually use as a one-liner:

for i in `seq 1 5` ; do echo $i ; done

Just as a side note to your post anyone who uses the annexation of the territories as a increase to the nuclear threat.

Ukraine has been hitting territory that Russia either claims to own (Crimea) or actually owns (Belgorod) since the start of the war and nothing happened.

This should be the clearest message to everyone that all this nuclear talk from Russia is just posturing.

They had every chance to justify this months ago and they didn’t.
I did one while working full time. My employer paid for it (a reimbursement could be recovered if one left within a year of getting it), and given that my undergraduate majors were in the liberal arts, it made my resume look a lot more attractive.

But your undergraduate degree will be in CS. You might do well to work and see what's out there.

IMHO, there's a difference between 'Platform companies squeeze as much revenue as they can by controlling their developers' and 'I can't believe Apple would do this!' The latter gets annoying.

Apple has always been just as cutthroat of a business as anyone else, albeit with a different model (hardware) and better branding/PR.

But see how much difference the hardware model makes when the market's down for a bit and Apple needs to juice revenue...
I agree. I’ve almost never seen this, and I read a lot of scientific vitae. (The one time I did see it it was because a major documentary by a major scientific org had been made from the results.) I think they mostly made this observation up. (There’s no citation.) Calls the whole thing into question, which sounded pretty simplistic to begin with.
You might be thinking of bsh rather than bash: http://oldhome.schmorp.de/marc/bournegol.html
Yeah, my point was that an internal PoW ledger (not decentralized but still technically a blockchain) would’ve been useful because: A) stack tracking per stackable type is trivial with UXTO, and B) adding a few seconds of PoW makes the resulting chain so hard to forge for crime-of-opportunity style attacks (preventing internal employees from making untraceable gold) that it could’ve prevented a few firings/calls to the authorities during my time. Oh, and C) it might’ve resolved the duping issues with cross-server character transfer exploits (a different beast than areaservs), and D) heh, maybe conned an engineer into making a block explorer dashboard so we could see the global state of currency/stackable amounts

Like you said: most of these except B) could’ve been done with traditional techniques and relational databases, but I maintain A) might’ve been easier than the message passing code required to synchronize and emulate it.
No, I don't think you understand ADHD. ADHD people do not behave in the way you describe when their attention "breaks". Their attention doesn't "break". Their attention is simply not regulated and so they will fail to perform tasks, which is not the same as having uninterest in those tasks which characterizes schizoid personality disorder. What you're describing as a checked out state is actually a reaction to frustration and distress that the ADHD person experiences as a result of being unable to regulate their attention long enough to perform tasks they want to do, which is not schizoid personality disorder characterized by not having a desire to form relationships and integrate with society. They're essentially completely unrelated conditions.

This also doesn't explain sensitivity to rejection or impulsive behavior typical of ADHD.
That's like treating cancer with Advil.
No. I do not want a stream of emails from tire vendors.
I remember Apple never communicating about its intentions clearly around its advertisement business. It was clear at the outset that its App Store business is lucrative (with all the details of its users). Will it kill the golden goose (aka consumers)? Most users have no real alternatives.
I care more about an ad free experience than the privacy angle. Not that I don't value privacy, I do value it highly, just not as highly as avoiding ads.
That's why they call it autistic spectrum, and yes some investigators don't know shit and throw the autistic tag willy-nilly
Circa 1994, Poland insisted on joining NATO, otherwise they would start their own nuclear weapons program. Why? Because they didn't trust Russia.

Ukraine voluntarily entered the Nuclear non-Proliferation Treaty, via the Budapest Memorandum. U.S. U.K. Russia are signatories to these treaties too.
Organic chem 1 and 2 are prerequisites for medical schools. A lot of colleges actually make the courses as hard as possible to make sure that the med school acceptance rate for their graduates is very high.

The reason UO will never be re-created is that it was the first game of it's kind and thus every player had only one option. In modern times, the gamer population is so bifurcated that I'm not sure it'll ever be possible to have such a mix of player types in a single unforgiving ecosystem.
This reminds me of writing „morning pages“. I first heard about it when stumbling upon „The Artists Way“ by Julia Cameron. To get rid of your mental baggage, you should write three pages every morning, she claims. The book is mainly about finding your (lost) inner creativity. But i have generally found that this routine helps to clear blockages in the mind and to become clearer.
> But I also live in a four seasons climate, and this isn't always possible.

Kind of curious what season it’s impossible to walk in, and how it’s related to 4 seasons?

I’ve lived in 4 season climates my whole live, and the only time I can think of it would be inadvisable to take a walk (though not impossible) is in the middle of a thunderstorm/typhoon.
I've hated Perl until I had to write significant Bash code.

I still dislike Perl (it has pointers! pointers!), but its syntactic sugar for running shell commands and regexes makes shell-style scripting easier than Python.
"Are people planning on running untrusted code?"

I run code that I pull from GitHub, PyPI and NPM every day. I'd feel a whole lot more comfortable running it in a WASM sandbox. People ship bugs!
I always yearn for compile time checking when writing scripts, because my experience is that these scripts become unmaintainable in about 3 hours.

Recently I started using TS for scripting. Not the best, but Ammonite (a Scala scripting env) is a bit too big of a lift.
Firefox supports AVIF out of the box for a while already.
It is fascinating, how some people crave structure and yet cannot achieve it - and some are enslaved in structure and dream of freedom. Some are probably very happy within a given structure. Others prefer to create their own structures to live in. Myself, I suffocate in any structure, especially calendars and clocks.
Probably want to add this on why you need a structure in life. If not if gives anxiety and chaos. I wrote my thoughts here - https://lazydevstories.com/post/overwhelmed/

- Testing your code before they ask you to. Some interviewers give you a mental point just for that. Walk through an example, showing how each variable is updated. But only carefully exercise each path of code once, cause they don't really care to see it in detail, and often they'll just watch you waste all your time on it.

As a hobby photographer, this is a deeply interesting topic. I keep all my scans (yes, film still exists) as TIF files, but my clients don't know what to do with a TIF (and even fewer know how to tell a printer that the image uses a particular colorspace) so I usually send them the TIFs, plus some high-quality JPEGs. Why not HEIC/AVIF/etc? Because people know what a JPEG is.
> Yeah UO only worked because it was basically the only game in town.

As someone who was deeply involved with UO for a number of years, this explains a lot of it I think.

Once there was a choice of optional PvP in UO itself the players OVERWHELMINGLY voted against non-consent PvP by fleeing to Trammel.

That said, even after Renaissance the game and community itself was still in good shape before they caught the WoW bug and destroyed what they built trying to capture that audience.
Prove how much you agree with this by not discussing it on hacker news.
If I understand correctly this can be solved with much less complexity via something like snowflake to guarantee ordering consistency. There are of course dozens of ways to achieve consistency across nodes, and a blockchain is one such solution. The reality is if blockchain were an optimal distributed store it would be used for that purpose in more places. Instead what we have is a bunch of buzzword shoehorning (which frankly today sounds a bit overplayed/stale).
Confused. How is this different than just the `new` link on HN?
A curiosity I’ve seldom seen noted in all the rich lore of the Beatles generally: they recorded their entire catalogue of studio albums over just slightly more than seven years. From their first album release, only a bit more than 2.5 years passed while they released four more albums, two of which were soundtracks for iconic films released in tandem. The fifth album is the one many fans mark as their creative breakout. It was only a year and a half til Sgt Pepper with another creative breakout milestone in between, then only a year and a half til the White Album, then less than a year til Abbey Road (which I personally find preposterous because I sincerely believe it’s objectively the best album by any artist ever), and just over half a year til their final full studio release Let It Be. Oh and Yellow Submarine was in there too, of course.

I don’t know how much Paul’s “freakish” memory made that possible. I do know that it astonishes me every time I remember the fact that the whole Beatles recording career lasted about as long as the time I had a locker in grade school.
I'm a former game dev, I worked in PHP on the server side of our game and honestly - C++ is mostly just the dominant language because everyone is constantly overworked and everything has always been done in C++. Java and C# are some counter examples you offered which, if done right, should rival the performance you can get in C++ pretty trivially - Java may have a larger memory footprint for some things (it's harder to sanely get down to the bare metal within some contexts) but it's still quite fast. I honestly think that sometime soon we'll probably see Rust shoulder C++ out for game development once someone (eyes Epic) writes an engine with native language hooks in it simply because you get pretty much all of the performance characteristics along with one of the most valuable things in the world - extensive and resilient static code evaluation.

You can make things efficient in a plethora of different languages depending on the setting (PHP, similar to how I used it, is often chosen because it's extremely readable, flexible and all the expensive performance stuff you're doing is usually in SQL on the server-side anyways) but there are definitely certain languages that are better suited to some tasks. I would really suggest not focusing in on language choice that much though, since there are much more important decisions to make when discussing high performance architecture and having access to pointer arithmetic is, at this point, honestly more of a curse (since you have to deal with horribly unmaintainable crap in some library you need) than a benefit. Over a decade ago I had my first C++ job which used the Qt framework and using references by default (which Qt strong encourages but doesn't force) is simply a much more sane approach to development.
Or they created a deep fake of Bruce Willis and licensed his likeness from ... it.

If you want to understand bash, it’s best to spend some time using basic posix sh (dash on some systems) it is a much less powerful shell, but that highlights the power of composition that it does have. Also use shellcheck its an amazing linter, it will teach you many things about the shell, and actually explains the why for each lint.
Hah that sounds a decent way to throw together some bash scripts if, like me, you're not super fluent in bash syntax! Might actually have to give Copilot a try.

I would think that the extremely complicated algorithms that are often used are just intrinsically difficult, and things like metaprogramming allow a lot of expressivity in C already.

Having to think through race conditions is likely more of an issue than having to think through 3 obvious but distinct ways of doing the same thing syntactically.

Even though I would prefer there be only one obvious way to do things.
Hydrogen is incredibly dangerous and bulky. Using it where you create it works well enough, but without some breakthrough in metal hydride storage or similar it's starting to look like a poor choice even against batteries if you want to move your energy around.

Stuff that can store as a liquid opens a lot of possibilities, although this probably means ammonia most of the time.

Coming around to my mid 40s and I can say the same with the same approximate reasons.

I used to throw events with tens to hundreds of people as a teenager and I could remember the names of every guest including anecdotes about them. Even weeks after the event. Now it takes hearing a name about 15 time on several occasions for it to stick.

I need to write down everything these days.
Pharmacists usually don't fill prescriptions in the sense of counting out the pills into the bottles. Pharmacy technicians do that. Pharmacists have a lot more training and have to be able to discuss drug interactions and side effects with patients, etc. Article is paywalled but it is technicians, not pharmacists, that they are trying to "free up".
I suspect having that cross training is also desirable that there will always be someone who can run machine X and that everyone becomes disposable.

Do they? Ten years ago Walmart distribution center workers were making what the writer says he made at Amazon, which is itself surely the result of recent increases. No idea what Walmart pays today, especially in these post COVID-induced work and price changes. Four or five years ago, on the other hand, I'd heard Amazon was around $13 to $14.
The main server emulator for UO, RunUO (and ServUO that spun out of it), is written in C# and runs worlds that are as large as UO had in its heyday.

A few of the very hot code paths in the netcode and elsewhere drop to unsafe to do pointer math and faster array walking but the vast majority of it is in managed space.
If you use a rolling release distribution, you'll get up-to-date Pipewire libraries and the latest Wireplumber, both of which improve compatibility with Bluetooth headphones a lot, especially with hardware with different profiles like Bluetooth headsets.

Bluetooth headphones actually work reliably now for me, whereas I used to not even bother because Bluetooth audio was always a gamble on Linux in the past.

Even just running a live Linux instance off of a USB drive can give you an idea if the latest versions of Linux + Pipewire can solve your use case better than distributions that are based on older software, like Ubuntu and PopOS are.
Because this is art, not a serious garment proposal, and having the model wear a mask would spoil the art.
On a deep level? I once worked at UPS loading trucks for a winter season just because I was in between jobs. It was just about the hardest I ever worked and was an interesting experience. Are you implying that I should be forced to work tech jobs for the rest of my life just because I qualify for them? Should I view my specialized skills as chains?

It's a free country (the U.S. is at least) and by working in one job you are always implicity creating an opening in whatever other jobs you have opted not to take. I do understand your argument, and theoretically you are right: he perhaps took a job from someone who needed it more. But I can make the same argument about the service economy: if I mow my own lawn, am I taking money away from landscapers? If I cook at home, if I learn to fix my own bike, etc. etc. That kind of think is deeply disturbing to me. We each have to live our own lives at the end of the day.
>Now you can force your idiotic, or great ideas onto the screens of millions of people you'll never meet.

No you can’t. Attention is scarce. That’s why it’s called “attention economy”. In fact, it was far easier to force idiotic ideas onto the screens of millions of people before the internet came along. That’s what TV commercials were.
This is pretty specific but does anyone remember in one of the Runescape open betas back in the day there was a duping bug? I think involving a chest?

If I recall it was really easy to do and by the end of the beta like everyone had totally jacked up gear

Of course it all got reset eventually since it was just a beta but I recall it being pretty hilarious to play during that period

I hope anyone who enjoyed the article will find time to listen to the original team discuss UO’s early development and the crazy design and social problems they were trying to solve.

They succeeded at some, spectacularly failed at others, but brought forward things that still impact MMO and (now) Metaverse design today.

Wow all the bash hate. It takes practice and repetition like with most programming languages. I have no problems writing for loops in bash because I do it all the time. Similarly if it’s something I don’t use frequently I will feel the syntax is arcane and unintuitive and have to look it up anyway.

It’s fine to prefer one tool over the other but bashing the one you’re less familiar with is unnecessary :)
I think no but it doesn’t matter. If Uber is paying much higher wages for the same labor and you can switch over at the press of a button, why would anyone drive for Lyft during a surge?
