I can offer some practical advice:

1. Ensure you always have to hand a means to record ideas. For a visual artist, this can be drawing in a sketchbook, but can equally be lists of things in a note to self via SMS or anything. Both ‘Yesterday’ (Paul McCartney and the Beatles) and ‘I Can’t Get No Satisfaction’ (Keith Richards and The Rolling Stones) were written by their authors in their dreams. The reason the authors did not forget them when they woke up was because they both slept with guitars by their bed.

2. Related to the preceding, know that the best ideas come when you are not looking for them. This is not hokey wisdom, this phenomenon has been subject to serious analysis. Many creative folk recognize that their best ideas come when they are running, walking, cooking, falling asleep, sitting in a cab etc. Mine come when I go for long walks and I make sure to have my voice memo app handy when I do. For some, alcohol or drugs serves the same purpose :). But be carful. I know artists whose works resemble each other's because they all use the same drug.

3. Take advantage of accidents, they are dancing lessons from god (Vonnegut). When writing lyrics for his songs, David Bowie (1947–2016)
would write words on individual sheets of paper which he would throw in
the air. The lyrics would evolve from the chance association of words with
each other as they landed on the ground. Leonardo Da Vinci got some of his ideas from looking at stains in plaster or clouds.

4. See something you like? Steal it! Make it your own! Look at how Manet's Olympia 'borrowed' from Titian and his Venus of Urbino. What he stole was the form, not (exactly) the content. This relates to something very significant: that it is almost impossible to invent in a vacuum. One could as easily steal pictorial form from adverts, movies... anything.

5. Putting in the hours helps more than in commonly recognized. Before The Beatles went to Germany, they were an entirely average band, typical of the time. When they came back, they were the Beatles. The difference? The gigged live for three evenings a week.

6. Look for patterns in your own work. The thing that drives your own creative profile is unique to you. It is already there... waiting to be seen. It is this that will direct you to choose one idea over another. Doubt me? Look at any artist's biography. See how evidence of their 'final form' is apparent even in their student work.

I really admire Stuart Marks and his work, talks and writing. His work in Java APIs are much more approachable for laypersons like me who will be quick to pounce on various suggestions, problems and feature requests.

But I find his responses very well thought out and reasoned even though I personally may not like the outcome I can always see that the choice he made is perhaps the least worst option. This is no mean feat for a language still trying to evolve, even rapidly, after 25 years of cruft. This is unlike Brian Goetz’s work in Valhalla etc where you need more expertise to make meaningful suggestions.

Needless to say, very happy with this JEP. My only wish is make these updates come sooner but perhaps you need time to prepare and reason about new stuff instead of adding every little feature that may seem useful at first glance.
Hey Matt!

Yes, it could be used to create a whiteboard app by spinning up one backend per whiteboard, and connecting each user to the backend of the whiteboard they are viewing. For data synchronization, where it really shines is in slightly more complex cases where data updates need to be validated (e.g. 3d software or a CAD app), because unlike a traditional pub/sub service which just passes messages through, you can run your own code on the backend.

It depends on Docker, but Guacamole is only used for the demo. Guacamole is what lets us run Firefox inside Docker and then view it inside another browser so that we can test an install without having to configure a bunch of DNS and certificate stuff.

It's not Nature, it's Scientific Reports. The bar to publication in the two couldn't be more different. Nature is one of the premier high impact journals, Sci. Rep. is a pretty middle of the road somewhat new open access journal.
Ask HN: Host a static website with WASM for free?
I want to host a static website with a WASM program for free. Currently it is running on Heroku, node.js doing the header shenanigans, but Heroku is shutting down its free tier.

A straightforward solution seems to migrate to fly.io to do the same (although I am not exactly sure about its free tier).

My question is, if there are any better services, more reliable, faster, without invoking node.js every time? A static website provider that allows to configure the http headers, or they allow WASM default. (e.g. github pages can't run WASM)
I think you have to add up all the reasons alcohol is bad. Really genuinely count all the mess ups it causes:

1. More fights
2. More reckless talking.
3. More infidelity or need for sexual release
3. DUIs and car accidents
4. Stupid you comes out - not smart you. Not learning or wise you.
5. Once you are tipsy or drunk, its wasted time its time wasted on earth. Nothing really progressive will happen while in that state.
6. Takes toll on your health. Can damage liver. Makes you prime real estate for many other health problems.
7. Destroys relationships.
8. Destroys your trust in yourself and your discipline.
9. Redefines what a ‘fun time’ means. Suddenly a little drink must be involved for you to have fun or feel good?
10. Costs money. Alcohol is not cheap.
11. A lot if life-regrettable acts are done when we wre tipsy or drunk.

Add up these reasons, and you’ll really start to see that alcohol is really something you want to stay away from for good and permanently. It was never good to have a little bad. Bad is bad.

I’m also a Christian so I prayed when I wanted to quit. I prayed to Jesus also when I wanted to quit cigarettes and pot. And by His grace, I am free from pot, cigarettes, alcohol. I thank God for helping me be substance free.

This is very common misconception. People can have multiple employers just like contractors can have multiple clients. It has no bearing.

Or if "they" are only a thousand years ahead of us technologically then 640 years ago could be when they started building large visible structures like space elevators or orbiting habitats.
A nice explanation for the "rate of progress" is the percentage of the population that is not involved in the production of food.

Since the dawn of humanity up until "very recently" in the grand scheme of things, something like 95 to 98 percent of the population were directly involved in food production. There were the odd shamans, priests, tribal leaders, or what have you, but everyone else made themselves busy hunting, fishing, or farming.

The current ratio in developed countries is something like 1 to 2 percent of the population directly working in farming, and maybe 20 to 30 percent working in "food production". Think workers at the biscuit factory, or chefs in a restaurant.

Everyone else is free to do science, engineering, project management, finance, or whatever.

The difference between 2% of the population free to work on non-food activities and 70% is massive.

This is why so much progress has happened just in the last few centuries.
> 1. The cool thing about using `less` as the pager is everything you get out of the box, including search. Search from within less with `/`.

Sure, but doesn't this assume running `less` in this case only to search specific text strings? So this means if you wanted to apply any other operations, you'd have to exit out of the $PAGER back into the main terminal app?

What if I wanted to combine it with other operations such as collapse / expand comments? Speaking of:

> 2. You can collapse / expand the comment section with h/l or left arrow and right arrow. The limitation to this is that it is not possible to collapse specific threads / replies, only all replies at once.

So an collapse / expand operation is applied to _all_ comments in a thread? Hmm, in that case for me in terms of usability the browser is still superior.
Actually, some of the propaganda artist died of blood clots and aids like conditions when they took the vaccine. Unfortunately, they did not take five booster shots like we did. /s
Still relevant today. Sites that break with adblockers are usually shit.

Why? Well probably because if the site developers themselves don't have adblockers, they are clueless.
Does a browser really have to be so complex that it warrants updates more often than the very sites that are being browsed? Contrast this with the design of idk MP3: a relatively simple and ultra-stable decoder app with a large variety of backend pipelines that can create MP3s. That's how the web pre-JS, pre-CSS was like. Or, with a perspective from information theory: downloading hundreds and hundreds of megabytes again and again (browsers), then consuming insane amounts of energy to access information that hasn't really changed all that much isn't very effective, is it?
Don't forget asan and ubsan. That requires good unit teat coverage to work though.
And companies writing the software that average people use are motivated solely by "what the average Joe wants," where "what the average Joe wants" is defined by business metrics like "how much is Joe clicking" and "how much is Joe spending."

I think this is a good thing.
You'll note it's ironic we want to replace the natural albedo from the ice we are melting instead of trying not to destroy it in the first place. Espacially since said system has been proven to work and be life sustaining for millions of years.

As for finding that job, if the current perspective doesn't work for you, why not try a gamifying perspective? You're the main character. The game world is a tough place. Upgrading which skills would be advantageous to your progression? There's no game over in this game, only try again stronger.
> Increasingly, you can swap out Oracle with Postgres.

Well, there is also a huge decrease of DB competencies around (myself first, not shifting the blame on anyone). So, now finally all you need is "just a db", DBAs are gone. Most people don't even need non-relational DBs but hey that's cool. Don't get me started :) I wouldn't blame it on the software (oracle) itself but on the fact that with microservices (and managed DBs) the role of a specific DB seems to have decreased significantly.

I use geany on windows too. It has tabs, syntax highlight, can be configured to run/build/etc on keystrokes, (open new terminal or use the output window), handles projects, can search in multiple files, etc.

Although its text manipulation could be better, it doesn't have multiple cursors for example.

You're right if you're using the web in order to display content. That was the case in the 90s. In this case, yes, a simple index.html with a <h1> and <p> is fast, responsive etc. But with webapps being more and more common one could argue that displaying text is not necessarily the web's main purpose anymore. If you're trying to access figma with a text based browser it's gonna crap the bed, so it fails the test, but is it a relevant test though ? The web is bloated but it didn't bloated just because engineers were bored, it had genuine use cases where doing more than just displaying text was needed. And it wasn't ONLY for marketing purposes (but it played a big part i'm sure)
Usage of "very" in the collected works of Shakespeare's: https://www.opensourceshakespeare.org/search/search-results....

(some of these are false positives, e.g. "this very sword", where it's not used as an intensifier)

I don't understand this quest that certain pencil-pushers seem to have with wanting to restrict the usage of certain words or even entire grammatical constructions (e.g. the crusade against the passive voice). Good writing means thinking about your words, your sentence structure, etc., yes - but not arbitrarily throwing out half of the language because of some weird dogmas.
The climate doesn’t care about what is fair, but people do and this needs to be considered if we want to succeed.

Most individuals in China consume way less than most individuals in the US and emit less carbon. That they live under the same totalitarian govt is unlikely to make them sympathetic to the view that their personal sacrifice should be higher as we fight a global challenge.

Yes, Obsidian does it out of the box.
It seems fair to me. They only said that it should be seen as something separate than a port, not that it was bad. Honestly I think you're both right.

Yes, it's true that it doesn't matter if you only want to get the code running in a Go environment for whatever reason. But anyone wanting to learn about TCL or idiomatic Go by reading the source code for this project will be disappointed, and that struck me as the main appeal of this when I saw the headline.

Let me preface this comment by mentioning that I've not written a single line of C in my time as a software engineer.

Why would C cease to be lightweight if it added default libraries with lots of capability?

I think this kind of library should generally be in user space, not standard lib as "standard lib is where libraries go to die" (they can't really be modified after because of backward compatibility) but I'm confused about your argument.
From the README

> Integrated pre-programmed HDCP keys for Loop Out

So my answer would be. Yes
So regardless of 5G C Band is indeed the cause or not, why aren't they testing it in a controlled environment? Make some test flights in good viewing conditions near those locations with the reports, and have turned on, data downloading/uploading 5G cell phones onboard using different planes/series and see if there's any interference happening.

I know it's more complicated and costlier than that but since lives might potentially be in danger and since it's too late to change the 5G bands, it seems to be the only viable option.

If it it indeed causes, C band can simply be banned near runways and say, be allowed inside the airport in low power settings if it doesn't cause interference with outside planes.

> anonymously share safety incidents and concerns

Why? It is not like there is serious privacy violation in telling that altimeter broke, and this makes the data much less reliable. Not saying the data is fake for sure, but I have came across enough haters of 5g, and I am pretty sure someone could post fake entries just to scare people.
Yes, when you have an up to date system. Else the gates of hell will open when you try to compile the thing.
I find it doubleplus disappointing that no one is pointing out some Orwellian alternatives.
Workplace bullying eroded my confidence at work. Here’s how I recovered
Worth noting that, just like the meteorological disruption, this is a US-only problem. It's not a problem with 5G in general, other countries assigned safe bands instead.
Can we please stop running network drivers and network stacks in kernel mode by default? It's 2022 and we've got more than enough compute power nowadays that the performance hit for running these in user-land is negligible for most use cases. Smartphone, tablet or laptop users usually do not need the level of performance that requires running that stuff in the kernel when browsing the web.

I get that there are some use cases where performance really matters to the point where kernel network stack and drivers make a difference (high-throughput and/or low-latency services running on servers, high-performance routers...), but that should not be the default for everyone.
> FAA for making this process difficult- see 737 certification as an example, leading to the max accidents.

The certification process being "difficult" isn't why the 737 Max was unsafe. The FAA allowed Boeing to self-certify its safety, and voices inside the company were ignored or silence. They literally created a system to save a buck for their clients then outsourced development of that system to save another buck, then rubber-stamped it themselves.

Blaming this on too much or too difficult regulation is farcical.

PS - I also find the entire thrust of this argument contradictory: "Equipment built in the 80s wasn't high enough quality for the new 5G operating environment, so we need to weaken 'difficult' regulation today to make producing lower quality equipment cheaper, tomorrow be damned."
What interests would you want to see represented here other than minimizing the chance of accidents?

omfg, the number of people who take seriously this originally innocent looking joke really haunts me. Originally it was a joke about referendums in Ukraine regions about joining Russian Federation which is viewed as an illegal annexation by most of us, Czechs. So the joke is "they can illegally annex part of other countries so let's illegally annex Königsberg which was established in 1255 in honour of our king, Ottokar 2nd of Bohemia".

Why is this surprising? Let's say you're a factory that makes widgets but produces hydrochloric acid as a result. You're currently leaking it into the water table.

It's cheaper to just start bottling the acid than to stop producing widgets.
I’d imagine there might still be a surprising number of MFC apps still in circulation.

It playfully encourages people to think and write more lyrically. Perhaps the mathematical notation, also apparently intended to be metaphorical, implies a literal variable substitution objective where there is none.

Obviously, words have nuance of meaning dependent on multiple factors.

The point, it seems to me, is just to try to write more creatively, even in work and business.

Definition of treacherous: guilty of or involving betrayal or deception.

Of course things can be dangerous and even very dangerous without betrayal or deception. Climbing Mount Everest is very dangerous. But is it treacherous?
