"My hope is someday, when the next Aristotle is alive, we can capture the underlying worldview of that Aristotle - in a computer. And someday, some student will be able not only to read the words Aristotle wrote, but ask Aristotle a question - and get an answer!"- Steve Jobs, 1985
Also fine, and probably more practical. There is a certain moralizing part of society that has to have the taper on the horizon.
Probably a bad answer but I was drinking every night starting at the end of the work day then falling asleep drunk.

One day, for a reason I don't know, I just stopped. I don't even cheat because I know how weak I am, I'll go right back into it.
This type of advice does work, but only for some people. I would hazard that "some" isn't even a majority of alcoholics or other kinds of addicts. So, it's an interesting perspective to share, but please don't assume that what worked for you is universally good advice for everyone.

You may as well be a patient in a drug trial, one of the let's say 30% that responded well to the drug, but afterwards you go out and claim that it's a cure for everyone... well no, it didn't work for 70% of people.
I believe the best use for this Airships is for cargo.
Cargo routes from Valencia to Palma are beyond full capacity during peak vacation season (summer holidays, christmas, semana santa).
If you plan to board a Ferry to Palma, you must be ready to suffer from delays in departure (arrivals are usually on time).

If they can use their airlanders with just 20-30% cargo, they have a sound busines case since ferrys are a huge bottleneck to get cargo into Balearic islands.

The documentary "Spiders Web" talks about how the UK after the second world war, used offshore jurisdictions as places which desirable place for finance being safe (because UK connection) and opaque (so can avoid taxes), and yet not accessible through courts and the law as not strictly "the UK".

This was by design as a way to keep UKs importance post empire.

> The charity’s list of the “world’s worst” 15 tax havens includes the Cayman Islands, Jersey and the British Virgin Islands, which, like Bermuda, are under the sovereignty of the UK. It warned that allowing these territories to act as tax havens “undermines Britain’s efforts to be an outward-facing, responsible member of the international community”.

This is slightly odd. As far as I know, the company has only made the prototype, which was damaged on its first flight, and not long after damaged beyond repair.

The only airship company that I know of that has actually been able to fulfill a "big" order like this is Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH, which produced the three "Wingfoot" airships for Goodyear. That took 7 years. And they already had a ton of experience, and a fleet of three airships already.
> It requires a very untrained, overweight individual with a relatively modest caloric deficit.

It's hard to say because many overweight people already have a significant muscle mass, just those muscles are underused and hidden under the fat. When one starts to exercise and looses some weight their muscles' volume will increase with a better blood flow, and will get the proper shape and also become more prominent with less fat over them, but they'll probably not actually increase the muscle mass itself - it's just that we're now able to see them better.
I quit drinking over four years ago and it's sincerely been one of the best things I've done for myself. The book, "This Naked Mind" helped me a lot.

https://thisnakedmind.com/this-naked-mind/

The author does a very analytical, scientific breakdown of the physiological and psychological factors at play with alcohol. For me, it helped a ton to understand that there were very real forces at play that were compelling me to drink, it wasn't necessarily a personal failing or weakness.

Best of luck to you! I am brutally aware of how tough it can be, but I can tell you the other side is pretty great.

There's really two concepts: parent, which is how hierarchy is achieved, and quotes, which are stylized text linking back to an ancestor.

The potential for problems would arise when everyone Replied using a root-level post to the firehose. This could be mitigated with prominent Reply links on every post in the firehose, with the root-level contribution form deemphasized. So you can quote multiple people but you still chose a parent by choosing which Reply link to click.

> Honestly though I don't get the Wayland hate. It's been stable to use and a joy to configure.

That's fair, but you need to understand that the "haters" have the exact reverse position; X11 has been stable to use and a joy to configure, and Wayland remains full of "interesting" pitfalls. (If this is going to be that kind of thread: My personal irritation is that there's no consistent way to set keyboard/mouse layouts that works across compositors, or in many cases at all, because every single compositor does its own thing.)
See also what they did to Gtk3 in 2014-2015, removing a bunch of features, stopping respecting gsettings, making it so that it is impossible to paste a file path into a file-open dialog without triggering an error (you must first do an extra key sequence just to make the filepath box appear now).

They acknowledge that these are serious bugs but no one is willing to take on gtkfilechooserwidget.c anymore to fix it. So all filechoosers in gtk have been frozen broken since that time.

But GNOME/Redhat employees don't care. They switched to Gtk4 (where these bugs are fixed). All the programs depending on gtk3 can just rot according to them.
> The thing is it only create many bugs when you throw closures into the mix. So historically languages did it because it was easy to implement (create a counter, increment the counter, run the loop body).

It's a problem with references in general as this shows.

I also don't feel it's easier to implement at all.

One can either rewrite:

for $id:var in $exp:iter { $code:body }

to:

{ let $id:var;
while(True) {
let result = $exp:iter.next();
if(result.is_none()) break;
$id:Var <- result.extract();
$code:body
}
}

Or

while(True) {
let result = $exp:iter.next();
if(result.is_none()) break;
let $id:var = result.extract();
$code:body
}

The latter implementation is as far as I see easier, not more complex. Obviously all the code to create scoping already exists in the compiler and for-loops over an iterator work with a syntactic rewrite to an infinite loop with a break.
If I understand correctly, I don't think this is a userspace-breaking bug, as in: a kernel API changed and made a userspace program not work anymore.

It is a bug that prevents the kernel from booting. That's bad, but that's not the same thing. That's not a userspace compatibility issue such as the ones Linus chases. The user space isn't even involved if the kernel cannot boot. Or if it is actually a userspace program that causes a kernel crash, it is a crash, which is not really the same thing as an API change (one could argue, but that's a bit far-fetched, the intents are not the same, etc - I don't see Linus explode on somebody who introduced a crash the way he would explode on someone changing a userspace API).
Dynamic Game Difficulty Balancing
I never much enjoyed the act of drinking itself, but my social life was pretty much nonexistent without it. It was predictable and I started hating it - go out, drink, have pissing matches about who drank more, talk about inane things (with exceptions, but I also always hated the drunk honesty, which is a minor contributing factor here) and then regret losing an entire day to your hangover.

Do you have history of alcohol abuse in your family? I was “fortunate” to witness it firsthand and, over time, I got afraid of losing control over myself, because I noticed some… familiar personality _quirks_ that would warrant it.

Neither of those issues really pushed me to stop, but it all became a perfect storm when I took up running and found out that a friend is a runner. It spawned a positive feedback loop - I wanted to improve and we celebrated each other’s victories, no matter how small (with pats on back, not bottles). It is a hobby that is not conducive to hangovers, so I began the process of weaning myself off.

On the other hand, I have certain intolerances/allergies that also conflict with indulging.

I guess my point is… death by a thousand papercuts. Any and every reason to abstain helps with losing bad habits.

And _never_ hate yourself for slipping up. Look into eating disorders - the compensatory behaviors following that are what cause you to spiral down.

I think there is delineation between public drug use and open drug scenes. The latter is concentrated.
Am I the only one who thought about currying here? I mean, neither the ticket nor the thread mentions it. I don't think it's such an alien concept to people.

TBH, with my full sincerity, this isn't really a way to solve the problem. Currying has been used for decades for reasons. For-loop isn't the only place where you introduce outer-scope variables into an immediate function. You can always have other variables involved, and you'll still have to be careful. Even though this change will reduce the absolute number of bugs, people will still have the same issue.
You are very misinformed if you think the PC industry only has Windows 11 as an operating system.
The perfect is the enemy of the good in lots of these cases, the old flophouses would have drunk tanks where they knew to throw the appropriate people, and hoseable floors.

But you can't build things like that anymore; you get shut down if you're not meeting all the "minimum requirements" and so the people who at least used to have a heated room out of the weather are now living rough.

The introductory bit is AMAZING. Coyly teasing out the introduction of the guest is something Rogan does.

I also assume the laughter bits are overused because of the Rogan transcripts, which probably indicate [Laughter]. You’d need a bigger model to know what’s the appropriate laugh for person to person discussion, not the laugh Steve Jobs gives to an auditorium.

But overall, really amazing things get picked up.

Here in London we have cycle paths, but it's also the reality that cyclists will as a normal thing cut through pedestrian areas they are not really allowed in whereas a motorcyclist doing so would be quite likely to get tracked down via CCTV and fine.

For example, there is a sort of 1 way system around Liverpool Street Station, and a motorbike will sit in the permeant traffic jam just like a car, spending 10 minutes crawling around it. A cyclist, or an e-bikist, will cut through the market square outside Spitalfields market to the other side. Google maps will tell them to do it. That is not a legal cycle path.

You will do a lot of stuff on an e-bike that you wouldn't feel right doing on a motorbike.

Haiku Activity and Contract Report, September 2022
Cigarette consumption in the US has been steadily declining for the last 50 years or so. This is while state governments are taxing tobacco products heavily. In fact a 1 pct point increase in tobacco taxes are related to a 0.5 pct point decrease in tobacco consumption. [1]

So I don't buy the argument that the government will encourage harm because they make money off of it.

I have had similar experiences, however, it's important to be specific: the NMCI contract ended in 2010 and DoN moved to the Continuity of Services Contract where we bought services piecemeal until we could fully take it over. The Navy and Marine Corps tried to transition to NGEN during this time but mostly failed and each service ended up taking different paths. Now, the two services operate their networks differently: the Marine Corps, for example, runs it as a government owned and "shared operations" model where it's mixed government and contractor.

I imagine that the laptop you were given in 2018 was not an NMCI laptop, but instead a laptop from either the Navy or Marine Corps' new ownership/operations model which is incredibly flawed. Also, HBSS was poorly implemented in the 2010 time frame and Tanium was introduced (at least in the Marine Corps networks) around 2017. Both are major contributing factors to the issue you're describing.

In short: the current state is that computers are barely usable and that is not NMCI from yester-year.
While it's true that if you are connecting a completely disconnected city to a network then you'll need to lay some new track to ensure you can get there to the intended destinations. But if you're connecting it to N cities you won't need to lay N new lines, you might get away with a couple. There may be reasons to add or update infrastucture, but not every pair of connected cities needs its own dedicated track
Nvidia has shot itself in the foot on this round. Getting used to the crazy demand because of Crypto + Covid has left them a little off-center I think.

Regardless of what AMD does (although I hope the Reg is right on their pricing thoughts), the market is highly disrupted on the low end due to Intel. If you run DX12 games (and as time goes by, more games will be), then Intel will be a nice price point.

Assuming that Battlemage is something akin to a 3080, but at the price of Arc, then they could cause real problems due to the price anchoring effect. [0]

The mountain is a metaphor, and it's the hard thing you would be proud of yourself if you did. It may be writing a novel or standing on your head or running a successful business or a kickass parent. In an avalanche of tautology, an accomplishment only matters to you if it matters to you.

If it does matter to you, then having tried and failed is arguably better than having been safe and taking no risks and then dying anyway because death knocks on your door no matter how much you try to avoid it.
I’d suggest that an SSD makes a far better option. For the price of a burner and blank media, you can buy a whole bunch of cheap 128gb ssds. They’re re-writeable, durable and easy to connect with a twenty dollar usb dongle.
As a (very recently) former GM employee, this is really exciting. The new division is created almost entirely of engineers, many poached from Tesla, Shell, and other energy industry players. Not to sound like a talking head for the company but these programs have been in the works for a while and if they actually come off the ground it would be a huge win for customers (and a big loss for utilities & corps that only make combustion engine vehicles).

A misconception here is that we're directly competing with Tesla on all business fronts. That's not entirely true. GM wants to become an administrator of a hardware ecosystem which can include a GM EV or an EV made by somebody else. Most of GM Energy's home hardware will be compatible with 3rd parties.

Also: I recently learned that Ford, GM, and the rest of the industry all use the same plug for their EVs. The only odd one out is.. Tesla. Annoying that the industry pioneer would also be the one who bucks its standards.

I am suggesting we build ~twice as many batteries as EV’s alone would need. With half being used for the grid not to directly use EV’s for grid storage.

Presumably if it gets anywhere close to similar scale grid batteries would end up with dramatically different form factors and chemistry as they don’t need to worry about collisions, charging time, etc.
Sorry you are struggling, here's my experience, dumb but want to share:
I love cocktails, but like you I hated how I felt afterwards even if I had only 1 or 2. The energy drain, if it's too late at night have trouble falling asleep, etc.

I started asking for mocktails, sometimes they are listed on the menu but many times you can ask the waiter/bartender and they can make you some amazing non-alcoholic drinks even if not listed.

I realized I didn't like cocktails, I liked the sugary drink part of cocktails.

I still limit to 1-2 mocktails when I go out, and fucking love it.

I said cocktails and I know you said beer, but if you also like cocktails maybe that's a way to cut down by tricking your brain into thinking it's having alcohol.
Disclosure: I work for a competitor of Stytch, FusionAuth.

First, I'm sorry you felt you had to post this on HN to both alert users and not be retaliated against. I wish you'd had an avenue to disclose the issues less publicly. This would allow the company to fix them and not put their customers at risk.

I think every company, and certainly every auth company, should welcome security issue reporting, as well as take other steps like regularly paying for pen testing. We do ( https://fusionauth.io/security ).

However, I haven't looked at how Stytch implemented PKCE, but it can provide CSRF protection in some scenarios.

The bigger picture is that this is just another reason to not invent your own standards. Use options like OIDC and benefit from the hard won wisdom of others.

Currying is the observation that a function that takes a pair as an argument, `(a, b) -> c`, is equivalent to a function that returns a function: `a -> (b -> c)`.

What's that have to do with for loops?
