I don't think the data supports the notion that there is a collapse. A lasting 70% reduction without the ongoing interference (overfishing) by humans would be a problem, but even that would not be a collapse.

A couple decades ago the concept of overfishing became more well-known, and the industry was forced to change. The reason that the industry reacted also has to do with the fact that a true collapse of the fish population would also decimate the entire industry - they have an interest in keeping it stable.

If 99% of a fish population goes away, it would take decades for the population to recover to normal levels. During those years, there would be no profit.

The true reason why the fish population is down 70% is due to the fact that every year the fishing industry takes out as many fish as possible without causing a lasting depression of fish population.

If all fishing would be stopped right now, the global fish population would recover to pre-human levels within probably 20 or 30 years.

Here's what someone from the Australian fishing industriy has to say about this:

"We have learned from the ’60s to ’90s era and today most large fisheries are well managed (some in Asia/Africa are not) and either recovering or operating at maximum economic yield. You cannot catch fish to extinction – they will always recover if you stop fishing. It’s the recovery time that is the issue – and the time to when you can recommence harvesting, sustainably."

Of course these people are heavily biased, and the industry is rotten to the core and full of corruption, but it's hard to argue against this self-evident logic.
Are you saying that the next age will be defined by new materials? Or will just be more broadly considered an age of new materials?

You are talking about a slippery slope to distract from the obvious existing problem.

There might be a slippery slope in the future, I agree, but that doesn't mean there isn't an active problem now!
You can flip the script and ask why you should apply rules based on the aggregate despite obvious counterexamples. White boonies kid isn't happy to be excluded over the fact they are white, either.

Point being this whole strive for 'ultimate equality' is going to create victims in its fanatical wake. No perfect method exists and no one wants to be on the losing end. But it is easier for those in a position of affluence to decide who is allowed in, as long as they won't get hurt themselves.

My top complaints with Apple are

- The documentation could be improved a lot - with examples ideally.

- The App Review process seems to flag a number of the same issues which are subsequently resolved after sharing a video that there is already compliance. This could be improved

- Showing specific error messages - I think this is somewhat Universal but Apple gets it wrong far more often. For example if you don't accept an Agreement somewhere in App Store Connect, you will just see a random error when you try to test In-App Purchase and some developers may think it's a problem with their code when in fact it's something else entirely. This wastes time and can be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing. Also the In-App _Purchase sandbox user flow is needlessly complicated.
Have you considered why the best explanations that the field of physics can offer are all interpretations? Maybe it's because there is a lot we don't know, and the patchwork of scientific theory we've built up iteratively over centuries is leaking in places for reasons we don't understand.

If you accept this, then it should be hard to mock someone who offers their own interpretation, since none of us know the answer to so many fundamental questions underpinning the physical universe in our cosmological plane of existence. At best, you knew more than he did about what we don't know.

How much does it cost to give someone three monitors? With the headset and something like Immersed* you can use this instead of giving your remote employee a bunch of monitors, which is also nice for the employee who might live in a studio apartment and doesn't have a lot of space, or an employee who wants to travel.

* Disclaimer: I'm an investor in Immersed.
The downvote (for me) is too ambiguous. Without a couple words specifically about why, it often (to me) comes off as, "I didn't like what you said, I'm too lazy to reply, so I'll down vote you." It's hard to take DV'ing seriously when there's zero context. How many times have we read a sub-comment similar to, "I'm not sure why you're being downvoted..." Nuff said.

Frankly, I can't be bothered to downvote. I've seen plenty of questionable things, and I just keep scrolling. I'd rather save my energy for upvotes. I'd rather focus on the positive. Let someone else play HN Police if that fulfills some kinky need they have.
What I don't understand is, that if it's purely skin color and upbringing and background, why is most of SV absolutely dominated by Indian people: My dad is Indian and grew up with his family in a single room. He is in his 80s now and has a net worth in California of probably $3M.

I'm half Indian and half white. At my age (42) he was doing way better than myself (accounting for inflation of course). When my dad was going through all the same stuff, 50 years back there was no affirmative action yet he still grew in the ranks. He's not a "black person" but his skin color is the same.

I think there is a lot of perceived racism when in reality people are promoting strong individuals already. Look at head of Google, Twitter, and a series of other companies.

For some reason people shy away from calling out racism when it comes to people from India because of their American success story. But again, if it's about skin color - how did this happen?
I was just about to write that "today" is the best time to run servers in your room, due to raspberrpis and low power usage... then I remembered that it's practically impossible to buy one, and that the media is already preparing us (here in the EU) for power restrictions.. so yeah.. :/

This is why I mentioned how dangerous and stupid it was. I experienced DTs for several days, and seizures. I’m lucky to have made it through that alive.
Back in 2020, I interviewed at Github for a professional services customer facing position. One of the steps in the interview was D&I, where I had 2 white males interview me, another white male, about what I do and will do for diversity, whatever that means. It was clear that they had a scripted checklist that they were going on and it was just a formality. They were visibly uncomfortable which this interview and so was I.
Perhaps a good opportunity to ask - for a long while now I’ve been hoping that some manufacturer took on a task of producing a good server suitable for this / homelab purpose? Something that allows a ton of ram (512gb at least?) to run VMs, middle of the road cpu with a ton of cores but energy-heat-noise friendly frequency, ssd, and all in a tiny, quiet, and attractive shell the size of a router that sits on a bookshelf? One can dream. But point me kindly to something that isn’t a rack mount pizzabox that sounds like a jet?

That's what it looked like, but I doubt it was deep in the filesystem. It was basically just a naming convention. User had to purge old versions manually. This gets tedious if you have many files that change often. Snapshots are a safety net, not something you want to have in your way all day long.

When I look up my Google Voice number, it shows up as VoIP (not quite landline) with the carrier being Grand Central - SVR. It seems likely that Mozilla's service will similarly show up as VoIP. Some places are filtering VoIP numbers from their SMS verification schemes, but most places will let you sign up for promotional texts from a VoIP number.

Why is that a problem exactly? What problem is that causing to society? Mind you, there's plenty of women in tech (and often in business or managerial positions, directing those white and asian programmers), they just don't go through the CS degree. I personally don't blame them, my CS degree at least was really super boring and mostly just a way to get an easy and well paying job. And men care about both money and technical things much more than women, so it's natural than they flock to CS.
Reddit's admins are even worse people.
None of this engages with the comment it replies to. One way to see that is to simply remove the quoted sentence, and read the comment to see if it would remain coherent at the top of the thread.
I have a different pov about this. It's an intellectual need to encode logic at the type level. It's not showing lots of practical value yet.. just like most interesting and generic techniques in the mainstream today.
It's funny how it's easy to identify how terrible you feel either during and or after drinking, but rarely leading up to buying and just before deciding to have the drink.

I've tried various tricks to help myself get off alcohol, but recently i've really instilled in myself the notion of 'this is not a solution to my problem'. My problem is namely a quick out of anxiety. After a long day at work, the tension in my mind is always relieved by alcohol, but it always exacerbated the anxiety the following day. This is compounded by the shame of not having control over myself, therefore lying blah blah. It's such a stupid cycle and it's embarrassing not to 'know thy self' enough to just flick the switch.

Anyhow, the method that worked for me:

- Giving myself a head start by seeing no friends (zero friends) for about a 2 months who are drinking
- Gym/exercise everyday (no rest days, only a day of treadmill or a brisk walk)
- Lowering my caffeine intake (lower anxiety)
- Having full, but healthy meals (for a period, i'd replace the drinking with another anti-anxiety medication... binge eating! But this is fueled by the same pattern, therefore remembering that 'this is not a solution to my problem' really helps)
- Practice social times with no drinking ( so for this, I went out into pubs by myself and grab a diet coke, which turned into lemonade, which turned into lemon water since even the large amount of sugar is not a solution to my problem' and just e x i s t e d in those placing, trying to calm myself. About 4 sessions of that over a few months help me to feel comfortable next time I was out with my drinking friends)

One thing i'd add is that I found it really important to properly arrange my hierarchy of wants. This means that I put stopping alcohol above retaining relationships. In practice, this did meant that when groups of friends would go out for a night that would only revolve around drinking.... see ya! I'd just not go. It is easier than to spend the entire night fighting that urge to drinking and being a grouch around ppl feeling bubbly from the bubbles. That means many of my relationships took a hit, but I think if not drinking is a part of how I want to live and the barrier to enter that life means having to lose many friends... it seems like an heavy, but necessary price to pay.

Think back to like, the ancestral days of humans being butt naked and barefoot. If alcohol is destroying you, do what you need to survive. Get out of that environment. Leave your town and get away from all of your triggers, even temporarily if it's causing that much of a problem. Survive!

Good luck
Yes.

What mechanism tied an inbound http request to the moo?
This is such a weird drama. The way I read it SD was effectively trying to put pressure on a guy because he developed a popular UI for using SD, and made that UI also support another model. So all their moral grandstanding is effectively just about trying to keep the popular gateway site pointing only at them, but their throwing shit at the guy who gave them that huge free PR push... What an odd position, but understandable, it looks like the people behind SD are a bunch of amateurs who weren't ready for the widespread attention and rather than ride the wave they are trying to shut down the beaches to claim that they own the ocean.
> Yeah, I think people underestimate the compelling nature of diverse expression.

In my experience whether they find this compelling depends a lot on the respective person. "Manager types" might like it, but quite some programmers would rather detest it.
>> D&I may very well be operating at the wrong end of the pipe.

That doesn't follow. If D&I is operating at the wrong end of the pipe, it should be rejected outright because it won't work and will cause pointless problems in the meantime.

> That there is no system in place for addressing concrete performance issues in any employee is the failing of the organization.... If this is not the case at the organization she worked at, she was bound to burn out, irrespective of the DEI objectives.

There was a system in place, but if you couldn't read between the lines: the bar was far higher for firing a "diverse" employee with performance issues, which followed from the DEI ethos in place.
Indeed. You can also make a directory into a subvolume so that that directory is not included in snapshots of the parent volume.

I would never pay for a dating app/site.

If you can't find somebody on the free sites, join a forum where you might find somebody with similar interests/hobbies/skills. Be a kind, polite person and once you have developed a friendship, then see if it can expand into more.

Most of these other apps are more geared to hook-ups, (hump-and-dump); and not towards long-term relationships anyway.

California kind of accidentally did so a few years. They thought they were simply running a public sex offender registry, but it occurred to some sex offenders it was also a state run directory of people that would be less likely to be put off by their own record and might even have at least one important shared interest to bond over.

The state was not pleased with this.
how does that work for controllers through?
> Managed crop monoculture, which ~half of farmland is

That doesn't seem right. According to the FAO (United Nations), only 1.3 billion hectares of land are arable while nearly 5 billion hectares are used for agriculture. That's more like ~25%. And the latter figure only accounts for 38% of the world's land area, so the earlier half figure claim doesn't seem right either.

I suppose if the margin of error on those approximations is exceptionally large...
That was my thought. Unless I can create multiple numbers and disable them at will, this is quite flawed.

With a virtual cc number, I create a new number on demand for each service I need, and disable it after I don’t need it anymore.

With virtual email addresses, I create a virtual address and delete it after I don’t need it anymore.

Unless there is a phone number analog, a single number is only useful until that number is compromised. Which could be day 1.

> You don't need to design a whole new language to solve this non-existent problem.

The designers thought that a whole new language would be useful. One may disagree with it. I would have preferred something like the ITERATE macro, but it has exactly the same idea of ENCLOSING all of these LOOP clauses, but with more parentheses.

(iterate
(with a = 1)
(incf a)
(when (> a 10)
(return a)))

is

(loop with a = 1
do (incf a)
when (> a 10)
return a)

If one cares about radically different syntax then you wouldn't use LOOP at all. (loop for i in l do (print i)) is equivalent to (dolist (i l) (print i)) which is equivalent to something with a LET/TAGBODY... construct. Why not just use the latter? Maybe its design choices made it practical enough?
That's basically how many old human-labor matchmaking services work, insofar as the matchmaker gets a lump-sum payment at the beginning, and then spends an unbounded amount of labor doing the matchmaking until it works out. The matchmaker is incentivized to make a good match as efficiently as possible, as their profit-margin decreases linearly with the amount of time they spend on each "case."

Yes? Locking people away IF ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY is only done for the reason of making the rest of society better. Of course we should be paying for that functionality. We shouldn't be imprisoning people to make them suffer, we should be doing it because it's literally the only possible way to keep them from harming society as a whole.

The "punishment" inherent in prison is the loss of your basic human rights, your freedom. Anything above and beyond that should be considered unethical treatment. Prison should be an incredibly boring hotel stay really.

And if you say "but then people will want to go to prison" you should think about how horrible of a world you've built where it's better to give up basic rights than participate in society.
