The only way I'd like to go is not to go at all. Death scares the hell out of me and living forever is the only acceptable choice.
What works for me is to eat less at lunch.

How? By having a big breakfast. By the time lunch comes I am not starving, and it is easier to have a moderate lunch. This makes it easy not to be drowsy.

Having a big breakfast has also the advantage that it is a great motivator to get up in the morning :)
Well, "better" here means you get the chance to start the update by yourself withing a few days. No warning is displayed on those few days, and if you fail to update by yourself, the system still force-reboots and loses any unsaved work.

Also, my impression is that the updates have become much less reliable. So your computer may not be back at all. Or something you need never work anymore.
It would be nice if people realized that they can have a low-maintenance, inexpensive, and insect-friendly garden full of pretty wild flowers, by planting a perennial meadow. This needs to be cut once a year.

In the UK, you can buy perennial meadow seed mixes from https://www.scotiaseeds.co.uk , https://wildseed.co.uk , https://www.wildflower.co.uk, and several other companies.

Elsewhere, there should be equivalents.
On the contrary, the default position is and should be that job hopping is a negative, and it should be assumed the job hopping is a red flag. What you should want is a company that says job hopping is fine, basically being a consultant. It sounds like you're not asking good questions in an interview to find if a company is a cultural fit, interviews are a two way street after all.
Depending on your country, this could be against the labour laws.

Changes in Powers or Duties

The most common cases of constructive dismissal are where the employee leaves as a result of material changes in powers or duties. Usually, a main area of responsibility is removed or the employee's duties are decreased; for example, a plant superintendent whose duties are confined to those of yard foreman. Such actions are in fact a dismissal in disguise, whether or not they are accompanied by changes in salary or job title. Commonly, this form of constructive dismissal involves a significant loss of prestige and status as a result of a corporate reorganization or change in reporting arrangements.

Short video is a terrible medium.

I am already on the fence regarding long videos. They are a rarely paying off time investment next to reading the equivalent article.

Short videos are an immediate no from me. It’s never worth the investment. Realistically if it could be written in a script fitting a TikTok video it’s not going to go deeply into anything.
Some of what appear would have happened anyway. Social media also normalizes behavior (and weird beliefs) to the extent that they become destructive to the rest of society. QAnon is an example.

> Getting lots of questions about how to do this on Lenovo and other machines. YMMV, but here's what I did:

> Add/Remove Programs, in Windows. Then I found everything from Lenovo and uninstalled.

These days you can usually get at the oem license key for windows - I would recommend just doing a clean install of windows 10 (possibly 7) from Microsoft install media. Just make sure to make a backup of user data.

IMNHO that's easier and better than playing wack-a-mole.

And if the user can afford it - just upgrade to a pro license while you're at it.

For users on a budget - I would probably recommend Ubuntu LTS or another stable desktop distro.

I don’t think the cost of plumbing is the issue. SF has very high cost of living, not just in housing but in everything. Couple that with the loss of freedoms (SF has laws that the rest of CA doesn’t have, like menthol cigarettes being illegal for one) and I couldn’t be paid enough to live there. Perhaps this feeling is much more widespread than the utopia painted, and now that WFH is viable people are leaving for greener pastures.
Of course.

I use __rich_repr__ to make object representations more succinct[1].

This can also be used to make pretty custom exceptions. You can also use rich.Console.print_exception to output formatted stack traces, with options for including locals, suppressing certain errors, or limiting frames[2]. Pretty great for spark, which usually vomits a novella upon erring.

Also, %load_ext rich in a IPython shell to pretty print all output, exceptions or not.

From https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/project/detours/

"Detours is a library for instrumenting arbitrary Win32 functions Windows-compatible processors. Detours intercepts Win32 functions by re-writing the in-memory code for target functions."

Doesn't that just re-write the DLL import table? ie it only allows interception of a Win32 API calls, not interception of my function A calling my function B?
Are there any guides on "deinvasiveizing"? It seems like a complicated topic. Some non native life is considered to be non invasive, having found a homeostasis its new nich (common carp as an example). And some native life is considered invasive by some because it is so well adapted it crowds out all other native life (some bindweeds)

Given the dramatic impacts we have made on a global scale, is trying to preserve de-humanified areas realistic anymore? Or are we supposed to simply try to maximize the diversity of life without regard to what life was in a place before humans arrived?

I had this happen to me at best buy when I was 19. The assistant GM didn't like that I had purple hair so he would essentially bully me every day. To the point that other co-workers noticed, and were telling me that I should say something to HR or OSHA[1]. As someone who made it through catholic grade school I prided myself on being able to take shit from authority with a smile, so I put up with it. Until one day I overslept and the thought of having to call in and say I was going to be 15 minutes late was too scary and I just didn't go back. Only time I ever no call/no showed anywhere.

More recently I had an "architect" on a team who felt threatened that I knew more about our tech stack than he did. He would constantly go against my recommendations without giving a reason, and would assign me boring things. If something broke he would spend the whole time trying to figure out how to blame me, instead of how to fix it. In return, I would just say it probably is my fault let's fix it, even when I knew it was someone else's fault, because who cares. I would also be very public about my technical opinions. The result was that management decided our team didn't need an "architect" and we now have a few Sr. engineers instead. If I didn't have that awful experience at best buy 20 years before, I don't think I would have had the courage to stand up.

[1] This is a funny story that I still tell. One day it was slow, he assigned me to wash the walls with a brush and bucket. One co-worker just kept saying "I've never heard of washing the walls. you paint the walls." Another said they would refuse do it unless they had all the appropriate OSHA safety gear. But the best part was that I was just spot washing the dirt and stuff, and the manager came over to me like an annoyed parent and said I was doing it wrong and showed me the right way. He grabbed the brush soaked in soapy water and used big aggressive strokes water dripping down, and so I followed his example. Within 10 minutes he had me stop because the carpet was stained from the paint dripping off the wall, because you don't wash walls, you paint them.

I lost some work a while ago because in Win 10 home you can't easily turn off automatic updates. The amount of hate I got on some forums for suggesting that automatic updates are bad was beyond me.

While I really like their lightweight, SQL-like protocol instead of Elasticsearch's fat JSON, I really think that this project could have much more impact if it could be a drop-in replacement for ES.

Even if it offers only a fraction of the features offered by ES, that may be fair enough for at least half of the use-cases out there.

Sonic could have really had a strong selling point: "Use an ES-alternative that works fine in most of the real-world applications, but it's written in Rust and it only takes a fraction of the memory footprint required by ES, and it shouldn't require you to change your application code".

Instead, they are proposing yet another search protocol, that developers have to learn and adopt. That definitely increases the adoption barriers.
> ...will have a years long arbitration and appeal process before they can be fired.

For the US, I read that as "it will be so expensive in attorney time to secure a litigation-proof post-firing outcome it is cheaper to simply pay them to sit and do nothing for the remainder of their contract". Above some amount of money thrown at these arrangements, it might come with consequences: future teachers unions might find long-term contracts or contracts at all rather problematic to negotiate.

I wonder what the union side of the picture looks like for these allegedly problematic teachers?

Ask HN: How could western governments restrict web-scraping for AI?
I'm seeing a groundswell of interest in creating new legislation to restrict the use of web-scraped images in the wake of the Stable Diffusion explosion.

Normally I'd take it as a sign that restrictions will eventually take hold due to public pressure. But in the case of using web-facing material for machine learning, it seems to me that any pertinent legislation would cripple the computer vision industry in the west. Just taking out ImageNet alone (which is full of copyrighted material) would probably be enough to knock out several thousand crucial downstream projects in robotics, military applications, surveillance, industry and commerce.

Given that China has far more control of its dissenters, and far less historical respect for copyright, and given the extent of western concern about losing the AI race to China, it seems to me that there's no easy compromise western lawmakers can come to on this issue. Is there a way forward to restrict web-scraped data without ceding a massive advantage to Asia?

Yeah. These things have a “cyclical” nature.

A new HEPA filter industry sprung up, and plumbers started accounting for Legionnaires Disease (I have friends that are plumbers and HVAC techs, and they have told me some of the practices they do). A lot of these practices are things that expose water to sunlight and air.

You can defer it.

San Francisco also has a tax issue, on both the companies and the workers. Parents point (I believe) is there is no longer a force pushing you to live in the city, especially in tech and with WFH. So if businesses and employees no longer have to suffer through the regulations and taxation imposed by SF, why would they?
> other costs exist too

This is the problem that is destroying the planet. It should not be about capitalism.
One issue I see is that even when the advantages of plastic are practically non-existent people will still demand its use either out convenience or habit. Plastic bags come to mind as an obvious culprit. There are others though, too.

My pet theory is that we're basically stripping the planet of all of the good, usable materials for "stuff" and plastic is a nice stop-gap to keep prices low. We don't do a good job of recognizing how inflation is tied to resource depletion.

https://outstatic.com/docs/faqs#can-i-host-my-outstatic-webs...

From the above Outstatic FAQ:

> Can I host my Outstatic website on a provider other than Vercel?

> We specified Vercel on the documentation as it is the only platform we've tried Outstatic on.
I don't see why it wouldn't work on other platforms such as Netlify or your own preferred setup.

Doesn't seem like deploy is baked into the library, it's just in the documentation as an example (a bit misleading and had to read the FAQ to figure this out). They are helping you setup Vercel's "deploy" from github that's available to any github repo, not specific to Outstatic CMS. You can setup a Github action to deploy anywhere you want.

As many people here have mentioned in this thread, Netlify CMS was a big player in this space but has since been abandoned. If a project like that, backed by a company with resources, can get abandoned so easily, it doesn't give me confidence that a self-proclaimed side-project will have longevity.
> You are assuming plastic recycling is necessary to have a sustainable system.

A total ban outside certain medical use-cases would probably also work. Do you think that would be cheaper?
Yes. And it’s generally considered something for which any employee could win at a labour board, if they wanted to take it there. Strictly speaking, constructive dismissal could be seen as a form of fraud (many unemployment schemes do not cover someone who has quit their job, only those who have lost their job without cause).

It’s going to be harder for the employer in the UK (for now, until the shambles of a conservative government finalizes the gutting of rights) and Europe, but it’s far more humane and effective to figure out where the employee can fit within the organization, and if there is nowhere to fit, to give the employee a generous termination package.

Employees who have been constructively dismissed like this need to remember to not sign any NDAs or arbitration agreements on the way out and to document the experience to take it to a labour board.
> How would that work? We don't have enough land as it is.

With capitalism there can never be enough of any natural resource. When there is enough, it will be put to more extravagant and wastefull purposes.

The original purpose of a lawn was to show that you are so rich and have so much land that you can dedicate some of it to just grass.

The purpose of a tough guy wearing a massive golden chain in a bad neighbourhood is to show that noone dares touch him

And the purpose of a yaht is to show off - the yahts dont even cross the ocean, billionaires hire special ships to lift the whole yaht and move it across atlantic.

So whether its yahts or aingle use plastic cups, or bitcoin mining, there is never enough.
They were blamed not for climate change, instead for nitrogen disposition.

This is a uniquely Dutch problem, largely unrelated to CO2. In larger countries, there's clear zoning and distance between protected nature and intensive agriculture. Not in the Netherlands, where these two things are directly bordering each other. Hence, the agriculture very directly destroys its surrounding nature. Not by CO2, by nitrogen.
What is happening is that the thin line between Putin and Russians gets more and more blurred. When the war broke out in 24 February, there were a few protests, but they were quite scarce, and the opinion polls presented in Western media showed that Russians support Putin's war. Now after the mobilization things changed a bit, but it's very clear that many Russians, even well-educated, have soaked in a lot of what is being constantly broadcast in state media: that Ukrainians are subhuman Nazis that have been killing Russians for 8 years so Russia has no choice but save the children.

When you think of it, it's really sad. Because now that Russians have clearly realized that this is not any "special operation" but a real war, their war, and that they are going to die in it, it's already too late - it's even difficult to escape these days if you don't have ample resources.
