I understand that this is very important for you (being a parent has changed me, in many ways) but it sounds like there's something else going on in your case.

The fact that you are getting anxiety attacks (or close to) because of this regret should be looked into. If you end up having children of your own (adopted or otherwise) know that they will make your stress levels go up, and you will worry about them and they will be a source of nuisance and bother a lot of the time. So better take care of that anxiety first.

Even if you end up not having children, living with anxiety is miserable.

So, get that looked up. I don't know you enough to recommend switching to a different therapist, but I can tell you it helped (still helps) me. In your case perhaps something other (a priest, or a coach) might be more appropriate.
> You can literally flip the O and H and change the “what makes me happy” part to get the opposite side’s point of view.

No. The points of view are not equal and opposite.

Some people who advocate WFO do so because they just want to work in an office (for various reaons) and they don't care how many co-workers do the same. But others want other people to also be present in the office to create the environment that they desire. People who advocate WFH have similarly varied motivations, but none of their motivations require other people to change their behaviour.
You're asking for the impossible.

To developers, the difference between USB 3.1 2x2 and USB 4 is material, and they need two different names.

To end users, they're identical, and different names are confusing.

Changing the labelling of USB 2.0 would be a cure worse than the disease. Approximately nobody is introducing new USB2 products, so having <1% of USB2 products use new nomenclature would only increase confusion rather than decrease it.
Thank you! Basically we send the timezone and fetch prices from stripe. I need to add a cache, noted :)
The linked published version <https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.12...> corresponds to <https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.00898>, "The Berry phase from the entanglement of future and past light cones: detecting the timelike Unruh effect".
It sounds like you have a lot more going on than just regret over not having children. I would wager that introducing kids to your life right now wouldn't magically fix everything else, either.

To be honest, this sounds like a mid-life crisis. Which is just another way of saying FOMO. We cannot do everything we dream of doing, we will not achieve every measure of success, there are absolutely going to be things you could have done but did not (for perfectly valid reasons!). Some of them you can do later, some you have to just accept are gone forever.
Thank you very much for your positive comment!
A few tricks to building a successful subscription business model
Exactly this. My last in-office job was an open floorplan where I had over fifty colleagues in my direct line-of-sight. The only conversations that took place in the open office were about sports or Game of Thrones—real work conversations happened in conference rooms (when they were available). One team decided to turn a small open area near my desk into their own "conference room", but the rollable whiteboards they used as "walls" didn't block any sound, especially from their speakerphone.
Firefox 106 brings PDF annotations to browser
Thanks. I love to see a description of that formalisation, if you ever get round to publishing it.
It seems like Chrome is going to make a massive fortune from webmasters or organizations that rely on ads, since it will unblock the ads for them by blocking the ad-blocker extensions. Quite silly, given the fact that Google used to pay "adBlock Pro" a good sum of money to whitelist their ads. Man, Internet Advertising has turned into a huge pile of clusterfuck. Why? disable your adblocker for 5 minutes and visit some websites and you will instantly notice that ads on the internet have gotten way nastier than ever.

Strangely enough, Firefox has held its ground. It fell behind in marketing which is why Chrome (and Safari/Edge) took over, but Firefox still remains popular for being that unshakable browser. I went back to it recently and wondered why I wasn't using it in the last 5 years or so.
It comes down to gambling ~$500k and many years' time to make a new human who will themselves then have to gamble money and time to change the world, or investing that money and time into directly trying to influence reality myself. If I want something done right, I will do it myself, and not burden my notional kid with the obligation. Perhaps they'd just want to surf or bum around Spain, anyway.
People want their browser to take away their choices? You don't need to switch browsers for that, I'm sure there are extensions on FF or Chrome that do the same thing.
Consumers are voters. Ever tried to push a political program based on import taxes in order to protect the local economy? Ever tried to convince your factory comrades that Chinese people have the right to clean air and strong unions, just as we do? Ever tried to convince people to pay more for the same object, just because it was made locally?
You are the first person I’ve read. Ever. Sticking up for consent banners that nobody asked for.
I don't see why an SMS app (or Signal) should be unsuitable for M2P.
I installed Brave because I wanted to do some dating stuff in a separate browser than the one I use for work. And oh boy I don't regret it.

Give up Chrome.
> The most infuriating error I see is "file not found"... WHICH FILE?!

Filenames might contain user data, which must not be logged outside of a database with proper access control, schema annotations, and acccess auditing.

We can only display an opaque object key, so authorized devs can look up the filename using secure tools.
WRT to pay. I tend to have a very simple view. Employers will try to pay the lowest wage they can get away with for a given quality standard and employees will demand the highest wage they can get away with.

I think discussions about 'fairness' in the context of location based pay will get eaten alive by mid-term market pressure.
As long as some rando doesn't start a livestream next to me on a long flight, this sounds amazing.
> The phenomenon of precession — in which Earth slowly wobbles on its axis by around one degree every 72 years — means that the position of the fixed stars slowly shifts in the sky. The researchers were able to use this to check when the ancient astronomer must have made his observations, and found that the coordinates fit roughly 129 bc — during the time when Hipparchus was working.

That's amazing, using the discovered results themselves to step backwards and find out when the observations were made.
These are fascinating responses to me, as with the example given my mind first went to someone for whom English is a second language. that group having trouble with this message I would understand, or at least have an easier time understanding having trouble, if even a very little amount.

For someone who was born speaking English and spoke it their entire lives, the example provided couldn’t possibly be more to the point in my opinion.

Though I agree overall with the general idea and that yes there are some pretty baffling and downright awfully written error messages and log entries that take a minute to grok (I just don’t think the example replied to is one of them).
This.

I find it really hard to exercise during say an extended lunch break or heaven forbid in the morning. It always feels like I’m missing important work stuff and basically don’t “deserve it yet” (that sounds dumb). Also my mind was either at work or preparing for it.
I switched to exercising in the evenings, when I’m “done” with work for the day.
Bonus points if you manage to do this with kids… it’s hard, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
When Wireguard was 1st rolled out the smaller code base vs OpenVPN was touted as a feature. Now that 3rd party systems are available to bring feature parity with OpenVPN, it would be interesting to see a comparison of the size of the code base inclusive of these 3rd party systems. Not interesting enough for me to put forth the effort to do it but still interesting.
See? That's what they tell you.

I feel for you. I loved WFH at first for the first year. Then I noticed how much less I got to socialize and much less fun I was having fun at work in general.
Every day felt the exact same.

To my luck my company decided on a more office focused approach now. We only do 1 day a week remote, I don't even take that 1 day usually.

But that's just me. I don't have a wife or kids at home that maybe increase the benefits of working at home. Everyone has their own situation. Currently this is what works for me.

I would just recommend look for companies that encourage working from an office, if you want to work that way. You can't demand your workplace suddenly implements Rust everywhere either, you should probably switch jobs if that is so important to you.

The EU didn't making seeking consent mandatory, they made tracking people without consent illegal (except to the extent that it's necessary for the service). These companies are perfectly able to simply not track people without displaying cookie banners.

This is simply automating the process of ignoring the request for consent to track you. The result is (legally) that the website may not track you because it did not receive affirmative consent. That really is the end goal, to stop companies from tracking consumes like this while still allowing for legitimate business deals.

The buffer states have clamored to join NATO because of Russian aggression elsewhere. Ukraine provides an object lesson about what happens if you don't, one Finland and Sweden are now taking to heart. The supposed problems you describe are self-inflicted by Russia.

Nor can it be "give them what they want".

Please read my comment again. Comment banners are the consequence of regulation.

I'd rather poke my eye out than stick up for them. What i'm calling out is the dangerous series of events over the past few years which have been rooted in good intent to preserve privacy, that seem to be having the fallout of destroying the web experience.

[edit] I can't believe HN has turned into a reddit style downvote brigade so i'll just post my response to the below comments in this edit since i can't reply anymore <shrug>

And you've made my point exceedingly clear[1] That pretty much is the ambiguity left up to the whims and fancies of the EU bureaucracy to enforce.

According to noyb.eu , the entity behind famous decisions at the CJEU, consent IS INDEED required[2] for ANY cookies to be stored on a users device. It isn't about data collection , if some rando agency or court finds Github or HN use fingerprinting of user preferences (as an example) or are LIKELY TO. . . it is considered a breach.

A French agency fined Google and Facebook heavily for merely providing a more complex refusal flow for cookies than the accept flow.

There are, I use one that does this for FF. Fewer choices maybe, but I don’t want to be inundated with these kinds of popups on every site.

If the site can function with fewer cookies it should simply do so by default.
Ask HN: How can I improve my terrible memory?
About one year ago, I took some relatively expansive classes about linear algebra and analysis. They were pretty proof-heavy, and therefore forced me to think deeply about the concepts that were introduced. I even did pretty well and received a good grade (1.3).

Fast forward to the next semester, and I'm taking an introductory class in neural networks. This class, as you can imagine, requires some of the material introduced in those earlier classes.

But even though barely 3 months have passed, I struggled to remember how to do basic operations and had to relearn simple concepts. This was especially problematic while trying to understand backpropagation, since I constantly had to interrupt myself because I had to look something up again. But in the end, I managed to get it by sinking more time into it.

Fast forward to today, and I failed to remember how backpropagation works while taking another class about machine learning. And I'm not just talking about details, I can't even remember some parts of how it works abstractly.

This is extremely frustrating, because it feels like I'm wasting my time by learning something, only to forget it within a few months.

Is there anyone who struggled with the same thing and found some way to alleviate this issue?
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not, this is obviously highlighting a deeper issue in developer culture.

The example given was clear compared to 90% of other error messages, and saying that it needs to be "more clear" is almost dismissive
The problem with that extension is that it sometimes does accept tracking cookies, which makes it kind of pointless. I want a "No means no, goddamn it" extension, which this Brave functionality seems to supply.
Hey, this is one of my projects too! I use a DJI Mini 2 along with the Litchi flight control app, which allows doing things like building up waypoint missions for covering a large area. I tried doing post-processing myself with OpenCV image stitching, but found that OpenDroneMap's NodeODM program was really nice to use and produced better results. I then wrote a program[1] to parse the output of the NodeODM results package, and upload it onto my website[2] that displays them using MapLibre.

At this point, I can lay out my waypoint missions ahead of time, grab my drone bag and some coffee, walk out the site, and get the vehicle up within a few minutes. I have three batteries, so that usually translates to somewhere around an hour of flight time with reserves, and over 100 images. When I'm done, I can pull out my computer, upload the day's images to the locally-run Docker container instance of NodeODM, wait for the results to get spit out a bit later, then run my post-process script, scp them up to the VPS hosting my site, and there's the map! The automation has made the process a lot more enjoyable. I'm still hoping to tinker with things making the images separate layers so I can do a time-series of orthophotos made in the same location, but it's still been fun in the interim. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat--I don't see many other people that are also interested in the area!

Some cheats to build a successful subscription business model
One thing that the article doesn't mention, but which I think is important: Under the GDPR, blocking a cookie banner is legally equivalent to rejecting all non-essential tracking, which includes tracking for targeted advertising. This is because the GDPR requires consent to be explicitly granted, and a lack of response is not explicit consent.

Whether websites actually follow the law is another matter altogether, but the GDPR is very clear that consent may not be assumed.
What does "extremely effective" mean? It sounds like 99.99% or something like that. I wasn't aware that any data like that had come out.
Brilliant implementation. Clear and easy to read. Thanks. One suggestion (which probably follows on from others) is to give the option to disable columns and also maybe move columns? For instance Reddit is placed right over on the right on my page, requiring a scroll. I'd prefer to swap Instagram and Reddit to avoid the sideways scroll.

I also like @alfnor's suggestion for custom search profiles which could lump together specific sources for specific searches. Maybe a Premium option for a fee?

[Edit: also maybe an option to lock different columns together, so you can scroll them together to save scanning time?]
Or I guess to make it slightly more explicit:

- prior to the pandemic and the surge in remote work, people were already talking about how offices are set up in a way which can be unnecessarily miserable, but crams more people in the same space, minimizing real estate cost per head.

- but even though in my city, there's now a giant glut of vacant commercial office space, I've yet to see a single company make the pitch: we'll give you a private office if you come in to work face to face.

- things become clearer if we frame this using a term with some history: working conditions. White-collar workers that have never unionized are now pushing for greater control of their working conditions. A partial list of grievances has been a subject of public discussion for years. Some employers are willing to deal with remote work as a bundled solution to multiple issues, but so far I've seen no employers who are willing to meaningfully compromise on what the office looks like.

I think what you are missing is that you’re in Germany.

So many people on this site are working for American companies or American offices. And let me tell you, compared to European office life, it sucks. It sucks so much!

In the McCountry, companies basically abuse you and the employees cry to be abused harder. Endless unpaid overtime, endless weekend crunches, endless peer pressure to not even use the meager time off you are given. Cities sprawled out for 100 km so that all commutes are hellish. A guillotine of health insurance and debt hanging over every neck. A legal environment that puts the company first and the employee last. It’s a hypercapitalist system designed to squeeze every last drop of blood before discarding the burned out husks that were once people. I tell friends in the EU my stories, and they gasp and say, “isn’t that illegal?!” My sweet summer children.

You cannot understand our aversion to the office without having spent some time in the juice press.

Enjoy your average of 28 vacation days and fewest yearly hours worked in the OECD, and please stop rubbing salt in our wound with your delightful office stories;)
The end game is not getting spammed by crap I don't want.

I don't want to consent to any tracking and there's no need to ask me.
There is also very little digital knowledge for them to gain as they already handle their phones better than their parents. As a technically aligned kid I would have hated an iPad. Well, I still do...
> I am in the US. Let it drop then, I will adapt by becoming a digital nomad. Maybe I will move to Mexico or Argentina for the better life there.

This is the high technology equivalent of what middle class America has been going through for the last couple decades. Imagine telling a machine operator in Ohio, "sure, we're going to lose all the manufacturing jobs to China. You just need to move there and you'll live like a king!" I suppose it sounds great if you're 26 years old and follow #vanlife on Instagram, but for most of us it's a little more complicated than that.
> First, they'll send your work home, then, they'll send your work abroad.

They've been trying to do this as hard as possible for years now. If they could, they would have.
Why would you switch people to Brave and not to Firefox..? Brave being a cryptocurrency scam should be enough to enough to turn people away, but I'd also worry about the position of a browser which is in a hostile relationship with the browser engine it's based on.
Love Brave for the simple fact that it blocks most of the ads on Hulu+. Not all but most.
Being sensible is being woke now? In what way has Mozilla hurt you?

Brave is an ad company basing it's browser on another as company's browser, you know.

Type information is not what conveys that information, it's the operations used on the data that matters.
You've got to turn off the conveyor belt flow. Many teams will do this at first and then they'll release in that vacuum and frustrate people with surprise (we should have talked about x). It's possible in office and work from home to work non collaboratively. Team members have to ask questions, in grooming, in stand or slackups to leave that conveyor belt. "how can I help", "will you share your screen as we talk through this", on a code review, "oh this is a different way to do it, but here is how I had imagined it", in a meeting "let's connect as one blocker gets out of the way of the other"

> Grabbing dinner with a few colleagues after a long workshop meeting in the evening

You can still do this! If you're close to any coworkers, leave the bubble of home and go out to eat. (Attendance will tell you how many people really wanted to be there) Alternatively, you can blend this with friends and partners along with coworkers.

> Discussing our team's latest Python problems over a coffee

You can still do this. Even over zoom. And hopefully not just talking about python.

> Then there are people who work mainly to get paid and do not care to invest themselves beyond what is necessary.

You can try to hire people that are more candid - or just be the shining example of someone eager to listen. (This is also true of all environments)
He's not sticking up for it. He's pointing out a truth. For example, in countries like the UK, as a website owner I have a legal requirement to get consent. Brave in this example would be forcefully removing the ability for me to get the consent that I legally require.

I don't believe in consent banners but that doesn't remove my legal requirements. I've got to stick to the law whether I like it or not.
Yep so something like "Yesterday I was ill" would get changed to "Yesterday I was I'll" - it's not the end of the world, but it's definitely annoying.
Swipe-to-type on Yandex keyboard on Android had a similarly infuriating habit of "correcting" my English spelling to American. So I'd swipe c-o-l-o-u-r and it would insert 'color', c-e-n-t-r-e and it would insert 'center', etc. etc.

Oh.And this was with my phone set to 'UK English' and Yandex keyboard set to use 'System Language'. If I caught it in time, I could drag the suggested word off the suggestion bar, so it would be removed from future suggestions. But the yanks have mangled the English language so much, it was a Sisyphean task.
