Affiliate links? Seriously? Why are so many people trying to make money off this poor guy?

Not just does this bring money into your pockets, on top of that there is no evidence that withania somnifera even helps with any disease.
Yes, though it can be lot better (and never will):

- there are no types in nix

- the debugging capabilities are limited

- there is no "slot" concept nor the edges of dependecy graphs may be tagged

- it's hard to make contributions because they press on you a lot about minor formalities, e.g.they require you to squash commits manually and deliberately don't want to enable one-click squash in Github settings, P/Rs and issues are getting ignored (even critical/security issues), etc.
Adding a mode switch to my Minitel 2
That company hierarchy pyramid really made me feel depressed. Someone list me some CEOs that aren’t sociopaths. Is Bezos one? Yvon Chouinard, the Patagonia guy definitely isn’t it seems like.
While I agree with you with my alarm bells, I found out too that our medical system is way more a money extraction machine than an health machine.

We are chronically deficient in infrared light, it’s killing people, it’s well researched yet there no pill for that: no money, no reach.

I’ve occasionally contemplated the idea of creating a TeXasm target that one could compile programs in higher-level languages to. Then, one could bootstrap a C compiler that compiles to TeX and runs in TeX.
> I'm sorry to sound negative, but what you are saying about this "clinic in Mexico" sounds too good to be true. And everybody knows that when something sounds too good to be true ...
More concretely, are you suggesting that US and European doctors are ignoring science about MS and just take the money? And the Mexican doctors at this clinic somehow magically have a cure which the rest of the world, at least the western world, ignores to ... enrich themselves?

I’m assuming you aren’t aware of the Dallas Buyers Club.
I fully take your point about damage done, sure, but framing someone is an act of deception. If it is _ultimately_ uncovered, then the deception did not hold.
I find this amazing, but I wouldn't want to play a game with graphics that are too realistic because reality has an ugly tinge
"The day after literally ignited panic in millions of families"

Yeah, because they hadn't seen Threads, and because The Day After is about the effect of nuclear war on the US, which obviously hits closer to home.

If they'd seen Threads their reaction to The Day After would have probably been much milder.

Would love to hear more about the clinic. I’ve heard they can do more treatments than outside the US. All of interest to me since I’ve got a myeloid condition.
The market cap of crypto went from 0 to 1 trillion USD over the last 13 years and created peer to peer, decentralized, electronic cash with properties varying by implementation.

I’m having trouble seeing how this is separating average people from their money. That’s not an assertion substantiated by data. It’s sensationalism based on news headlines about crypto scams.
Sparkling fish, murky methods: the global aquarium trade
Junk DNA is like dead code your IDE greys out for you in a large code base. They’re still there even though nothing uses them anymore.
I also sugested this but as decluttering. I’ve done it years ago, my house is now emptyish, less furniture too as well as less stuff in general including the digital realm as well.
Oh, and one thing to keep in mind is that motivation follows action. Just do something (or in your case, stop doing something) for a while and you'll start to enjoy it.
Thanks for finding that! Even a theoretical risk needs to be underlined. It's interesting that the same article notes that exercise also stimulates the immune system and that the risk really is theoretical at this point. But good to note it.
I feel for all those game devs, making something realistic is a lot of work but it's hard to be impressed. Something has to be hyper-real to compete with reality; it's why over-saturated images are so common, a more realistic rendition just doesn't capture it.

I just finished Horizon: Forbidden West, and the more fantastical setting let the devs stretch their legs. (Coincidentally, Guerilla Games are from Amsterdam). Few moments of that game aren't jaw-droppingly beautiful. I frequently heard my companions "can we go now" dialog lines because I was crouched down staring at the moss. And I played half the game at 720p30 MPEG compressed with PS Remote Play because I didn't want to take over the TV. When I moved the ps5 to my desk it was like seeing it again for the first time.
The worst manager I ever had used to keep a copy of The Prince at his desk. He definitely looked at other people the way this article seems to encourage you to.
Everything is perfect even better than real life. But still humans are still far from being looking natural, they always look like a balloon to me. Something is always off when it comes to simulating humans, the eyes movements, body
you dont need botnet that much, when most of member of a group you belong are conditionned to react (in a pavlov way) to specific trigger.

Social engineering at it's finest.
I'm guessing with the rise of Uber like delivery services this may be harder to measure as the number of places that can ship food has increased greatly muting the steep rise in pizza places.
I agree. I consider games as a modern form of art and simply trying to get them photorealistic doesn't seem to be the most interesting thing that can be done with the medium.
Right?! They only had 7 setup from the start. If you are breaking a record why would you ever quit before you were spent? If I was ever in a position to break a record I would go until I failed to ensure the record held as long as possible.
Sure, as another poster wrote, be careful with MS it seems, there could be an immune stimulating effect. For stress in general it's very good though. Also it can be taken infrequently and you can still see a lot of benefits.
Pity that most games are not available as open social worlds that you can use in VR

It's true, I do enjoy being perverse. However, I think it's a bit unfair to say I have "picked up a few pieces of knowledge, become excited, and tried to hack their way through by themselves, without understanding the broader ecosystem of other packages and conventions". I'm aware of xparse, and other tools in the ecosystem (etoolbox, ifthenelse). This doesn't mean that I shouldn't try to get a given result with the provided primitives, rather than use an existing codebase. Very analogous to writing your own X programming lib rather than using an existing one: good for experimenting and learning, but maybe not something you should go for in production. (Of course, I'm certainly not at the level of a LaTeX team member.)
It is a deal to pull in the official Guinness people etc. seems like a waste to not take yourself to the limit.
Ask HN: What are the best alternatives to MobX for front-end state management?
I left Redux camp the year it was created due to high complexity of apps created with it, and switched to MobX which employs more mutable/reactive approach, which I found quite fast to use and surprisingly manageable.

I wonder if there exist now better alternatives? What do you recommend?

I am really interested in this space.

There's an article that Cal Paterson wrote that async doesn't speed up code - it is not parallel. The GIL prevents Python from being parallel. So even if you create a thread to run an async method in Python, it shall not run in parallel to the main thread of execution. (In fact, it shall block the main thread of execution if you start a thread in the thread you are in, due to the blocking run_in_executor)

https://calpaterson.com/async-python-is-not-faster.html

I wrote a multithreaded userspace 1:M:N scheduler (1 scheduler thread, M kernel threads and N lightweight/green threads) which resembles Golang M:N model. I implemented the same design in Rust, C and Java. I am thinking it could be combined with my epoll-server and it would be an application server.

https://github.com/samsquire/preemptible-thread
https://github.com/samsquire/epoll-server

I am also interested in structured concurrency. This article by Vala developers is good.

https://verdagon.dev/blog/seamless-fearless-structured-concu...

I am trying to find a concurrent software design that is scalable and is easy to write and hides complicated lock programming. I document my studies and ideas in the open in ideas4.

https://github.com/samsquire/ideas4

I've implemented multithreaded parallel multiversion concurrency control in Java, which is the same approach used by Postgresql and MySQL for concurrent read and writing to the same data atomically.

I still think concurrency is hard to write and understand. Even with async/await.

// 3 requests in flight

result1 = async_task1();

result2 = async_task2();

result3 = async_task3();

await result1;

await result2;

await result3;

I ported a parallel multiconsumer multiproducer ringbuffer from Alek

https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/lock-free-multi-produce...

I use Python threads in https://github.com/samsquire/devops-schedule and https://github.com/samsquire/parallel-workers to parallelise a topologically sorted graph of IO of devops programs. This allows efficient scheduling and blocking with thread.join() for each split of the work graph and then a regrouping before doing other things, also potentially in parallel. This pattern is efficient and easy to use.
That's what I was thinking. Some people are complaining about very subtle details not being quite right. But to me, what really stands out as video-game-y is the way the character and camera and other people move. It's hard to describe, but they just don't move like actual people do. Gotta watch some bodycam videos for comparison.

Don't get me wrong, the visual clarity is a great achievement. But if they're gonna spend more effort on making it more convincingly real, that's a better target IMO than reflections and wave patterns.
And before that -- System 6 was a thing. (including doing things like resediting the system font to symbol)
The unibody and shift away from moving parts really did do wonders for Mac laptop durability in day to day usage.

This naturally affects the conditions these machines are available in on the used market. Any of the pre-TiBook plastic models are likely to have cracked plastic with bits that have chipped off due to growing brittle with age. PowerBook G3s are likely to have their exteriors scratched up. Fruit flavored iBooks commonly have parts missing. As you noted, TiBooks have big problems with paint chipping and had bad hinges.

Once you get into the aluminum models things improve quite a lot… the PowerBook G4s and MacBook Pro’s, both pre and post unibody can easily be found in great condition. The counterpart white plastic iBook G3s/G4s and MacBooks also fared better, but are sometimes subject to yellowing. These generally don’t have mechanical issues and usually just need to have their spinning rust swapped out for an SSD and a thermal paste change to get them running nicely again.

That said, the pre-unibody alu Powerbooks and white plastic iBooks/MacBooks are a pain in the butt to work on. So many screws. If one doesn’t have much patience for that kind of thing and doesn’t explicitly need PowerPC one of the unibody MBPs with at least a Core 2 Duo is a no brainer when selecting an old Mac to tinker with.
I don’t have MS but suffer from autoimmune disease due to low platelets. People have mentioned stress management and I want to echo that with pointing out tools to help.
Starting a daily mindfulness practice, even if for 5 minutes, will help greatly.
Journaling - wether it’s a gratitude one or simply writing your feelings down - helps too.
If it was as simple as you're painting it then it wouldn't be a problem. The fact that it is a problem should indicate to you that there are factors you might not be considering.

For example, the logistics to provide plumbing to developing nations are extremely difficult because of the instability of these regions as well as the lack of cooperation from developed nations to precisely help in these much needed regards. A lot of the help these places get come in the form of philanthropic pursuit or misguided help that end up either not helping or sometimes worsening the situation.

Not only that, but there are many interests at play that also get in the way of these places developing. For many powerful actors in these countries the status quo is good enough and any form of development actually threatens their position. And yes, sadly, this applies to plumbing as well!

It's very true that we know how to do plumbing, in the technical sense, but in reality we don't know how to do plumbing in these regions because our technical knowledge is not applicable given the socio-political situation. So this does require an interdisciplinary approach, one that involves sociology, psychology, economics, politics, etc.
The grandparent comment says "be bit by a moose", so that's a slightly different scenario. Of course if it's biting out of fear or aggression, it's also likely to knock you down and stomp on you, and you probably wouldn't rather have that. It's not rare for moose to kill people that way.

As for collisions, the highway the author was driving on has a speed limit of 55 or 65 MPH in most areas, and people often treat speed limits as suggestions. I had a near miss with a moose on the same highway, after which I would suggest taking the speed limit seriously.
In the USA - it's not trivial currently (or really ever). Leetcode and system design - regardless of economic environment - are always difficult to pass the interview loop for. With 2 mediums or 1 hard being the standard in <40 minutes for multiple interviews in a row - it can be a challenge for devs to get through the gauntlet.

Talent is oversaturated at all levels in the USA while cost of living just keeps going up and up and up. This is why leetcode and system design are pushed so hard - they filter out a ton of candidates on arbitrary shit that you will likely never do in your day job... and if you do, you won't have to do it in less than an hour.

Add on that lots of companies aren't hiring and every company knows it - you're not going to get the best offers.
The name of the gene, not the protein, but yeah you're right that butterflyStripeWidth is far too abstract. But something like, I don't know, decarboxylizeOrnithine would make a genome more "readable".
Most popular cop shows running now (like Law and Order) are pure fantasy, propaganda, and wishful thinking. They're made to present a much better version of reality because the real story would turn people's stomachs and lead to a level of unrest and distrust that would help no one in the short term, least of all the police.

And trying to make a show highlighting the dark side of policing would be close to impossible these days. Movie shooting relies a lot on the police for things like crowd and traffic control, and even for using real cops and equipment in some scenes. The police can make it very hard to continue effectively. It's the same story as with the Pentagon and military themed movies [0][1].

My primary cause with the site is informational. But if I could bring in some (likely minimal) income, I could spend that on ads to market the site. I don't think that's immoral.

That herb has seriously helped me with stress.

Here's one study:

I need to add that to the site.
To be perfectly clear, the "miracle" was finding a clear and cogent support page that addressed my issue. I was back in action like ten minutes later.

The technology itself is nothing special. Knowing that it may break, and positioning resources where search engines can find them, and making the resources readable enough to understand which one to try first, is what sets System76 apart here.

When I ran into the same problem on Ubuntu I wasted a week using my other machine to search forums, mailing lists, bug tracker tickets, visit IRC channels (and then leave the machine on to lurk in the channel in case of a reply...), and try any web result I could find that seemed to address my issue. I sunk probably 30 or 40 hours in, and made zero progress, before finally giving up and deciding to install fresh and restore /home/ from backup. I'm sure the resources were out there for someone who knew what to search for, but that's one of the things about being a Linux idiot, I've only been doing this a few years and I've found it incredibly hard to learn the art of divination to resolve "half my apps crash on start" to "package manager problem". There's just no hand-holding for that, you're expected to just know it.

> you cause breakage without ever gaining the knowledge of why.

Exactly.

The acute irony is that I strongly suspect that the Pop_OS support page may have fixed my broken Ubuntu installations too, but I didn't find it while I was searching for Ubuntu issues.
I'm surprised by how polished this version of Tetris appears to be, given it's for a word processor with a monitor that doesn't do the art of the game the justice it deserves.
Seems like TETRIS.COM is the loader, probably reading from disk and executing the game.
Wait, wait, wait...

DC is awash in local pizza chains that are quite good. Manny and Olga's will deliver until dawn. Bestolli's greek pizza was inspired by Athena herself to be the Platonic ideal of crisis comfort food. The pentagon has more nearby pizzerias than tanks, and that's not including the recent surge of fancy artisan pizza.

Why on earth would you order Domino's?
Now you got my point. You should have used other several benchmarks then.
We don't need rent regulation. We need progressive property tax. This would make professional investors drop real estate on the market like hot potatoes, tank the real estate price and made it affordable to buy for people who intend to live in properties they buy.
Yes, those games with realistic graphics mostly resemble American gang violence movies. Not sure who enjoys this kind of ambiance.

I'm glad the indie game scene is as vibrant as ever because in the early 2000s the urban ghetto simulators was all that there was.
And right next door, Canada is #1.

When you look at the geographic distribution of MS you would think there might be a pathogen involved. Clearly there are other factors (genetic, environment?) since not everybody gets it, but there is evidence on the map.

Modern DNA techniques should make it possible to search for a culprit but if you don't "believe" that a pathogen is a possibility you will never search for it.</rant>
Welcome to depression. You are burned out and fighting for a dopamine hit, hence the overindulgence. From time to time you become motivated to change, which too becomes a source of dopamine, dreaming about doing it, but never following through, because you never have the energy, and motivation is just as fleeting as the high you get from porn, games and food is.

The first thing you can do for yourself is changing your environment, or at least your routine, to as significant degree as you are able to, to avoid those frequently taken pathways in your brain that are wired to familiar signals. Non-familiar is your friend. Becoming a father should be able to help with that. We are highly affected by context, so fixing your room and your appearance will also help.

The second thing you can do yourself is introspection. You have to start to face the music, no matter how painful. You can't run away from your problems Shinji. To be able to deal with them, you have to identify them. Know thyself. This is where a psychologist can be helpful.

The catch is that both of these takes energy, support even, so don't fret if you keep failing, but don't give up either, escapism is not the answer. I have a useful tactic for bridging the intention-action gap:

1. Make it easy (effort) by increasing your ability to act or minimizing cost. Tiny steps, worth doing badly.

2. Make it attractive (reward, incentive), increasing motivation by highlighting benefits.

3. Make it timely.

Time and effort discounts the value of reward. We are wired to obtain rewards as soon as possible, spending the least amount of energy. The solution is to think big in the long-term, but small in the short-term. The cumulative effect takes care of the rest.

Besides this tactic of how to act, you need a strategy (what to do, what not to do, how to avoid bad cumulative effects, how to promote good ones) and a direction (how you perceive reality, flexibility, self-compassion helps here, as do a psychologist).

Again, don't forget, motivation is temporary. Small changes and improvements every day are cumulative. It still takes energy, support even, which is where fitness, sports, talking to the people in your life, making new friends can help. You can't always do it on your own.
What’s the name of the clinic?
If you spelled netbus backwards you get subten, which is where the other tool subseven got its name.
yes. after the AZ booster in the UK. Definitely worse, present much of the waking day.
I find it hard to believe there's a shortage of people capable of teaching 1st year students, so this seems like a problem of artificial scarcity.
I had a less than positive impression of this trailer, while simultaneously acknowledging that on objective merit it surely deserves a quite positive impression. And I think there's a very specific reason for this! The uncanny valley [1] is caused by things looking realistic, but not quite right. But the important thing is that in many this often causes a sense of discomfort or even revulsion.

This scene in particular is aiming for realism in an everyday scene, and likely relying heavily on photogrammetry (which makes it look even more realistic). But it's far from perfect. And so some may be able to simply appreciate it as a step forward in technical achievement, but for others it's going to be triggering uncanny valley effects. I suspect this may be a driving factor in the negative responses.

If this is the case this is going to be a major bottle-neck for graphics going forward. Even something as small as a character's eyes being in some indescribable way 'off' can trigger uncanny valley effects. So there's a long road ahead to trying to overcome the uncanny valley, but one where each step forward may not be able to be appreciated for the technical progress that is.

Actually, you are right. Looking back at the comment, I didn't provide constructive criticism to my fellow HN commenters.
It's how much music was made in the 90s for games, in the demo-scene and for general music production.
Bezos ignoring Shatner’s attempts to explain his profound experience going to space in favor of celebrating with alcohol; whilst Shatner is standing there as a recovering alcoholic who lost his wife due to alcohol related stuff seemed pretty sociopathic to me.
There is an apparent pattern in modern history where "strong hands" leaders severely underestimate their opponents and lose everything in war.

There are counter examples in more ancient history.

And to be clear, I am strongly anti-war.
ins't this an invitation to screw up your app design?
Was this not obvious from the outset? Do these people not consider the consequences of their actions beforehand?
No idea. For example, between the development of core memory and DRAM there were a host of technologies they tried because core is slow and expensive to manufacture. The best they did for speed was called thin-film, and they sold only two systems with it, upgrades of the System 360 Model 91 supercomputer named the Model 95. They had 1 MiB of it and 4 MiB of core, sold to NASA, the first Model 91 customer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360_Model_91
And there's far too few of them :)
