> Am I weird that I think suffering past a certain level is worse than death?

No you are not. The OP is being emotional and somehow thinks he is special and deserves some more treatment. I think everyone deserves some healthcare (proportional to the advancement of society). But at a certain cost (and time), just pull the stupid plug and move on.

That's how most of your ancestors for most of their lives did.
Agreed. It's like being asked what torture methods you would prefer. None of them are likely to be pleasant.
This is starting to sound like a lame attempt at trolling, or an auto-generated text.

If you genuinely cannot understand that the concepts of depreciation, wear and tear, etc., can exist side by side with the concept of appreciation of the underlying land value, then I recommend you do some reading before engaging in conversations on HN that simply discredit yourself.

In any case, since the last reply seems to not make any coherent points at all, I won't try to deduce if there's any further meaning.
> giving Mary such superpowers completely invalidates the experiment for me

This complaint should be addressed, not to me, but to Jackson, whose premise for the thought experiment gives Mary such "superpowers". I agree that such a premise is completely unrealistic and invalidates the thought experiment. Unfortunately many philosophers do not appear to have gotten the memo.
Much better, thank you.
> a blight on our poor animal friends.

Let's not forget that most of the world kills and eats our animal friends when they can just eat plants instead.

For most of us, animal products are no more necessary than Chinese traditional medicine.
You don’t own a domain name you rent it. If you ever forget to renew it or you are unable to renew it for some reason then it becomes available for anyone else to register. At that point the new owner can receive all your email and potentially access any accounts which use that email as 2FA. I’m not saying you should never do this but it’s not a silver bullet.
No clue. I try not to have a fixed opinion on news stories as they come out, but do try to read books, articles, and news about particular topics and the history leading up to them. Then, sometimes, that coalesces into an actual, informed opinion – but on a few topics.
You can avoid reading them but every journalist in the world reads them and when they break news it gets reported everywhere else.
Have you tried amitriplitine? It is mild stuff by comparison and sleepiness is a useful side effect.

Before taking it I had insomnia, prescribed this drug for different reasons but it helped with that: especially the wake up at 3am problem but also the get to sleep problem.

But it is mild as to not worry me I can wake up in an emergency and be lucid if needed.
Slightly earlier, though yes, it largely came into vogue with the emergence of satellite reconnaissance and observations.

On an orthogonal note, harder tests are more sensitive. In a test as easy as the SAT you would expect most of the bright kids to have the same score regardless of whether they are top 10% or top 1%.

With a harder test like the JEE, we can separate these two outcomes

Nowhere near so evocative of historical crimes against humanity, but in the vein of dark humor I’ve deeply appreciated. From Angel:

The vilification of education ("the elites") in US politics and popular discussion is perhaps the most terrifying trend we see today.

The intellectual basis of conservative political thought in the US has been destroyed by it and you can occasionally see similar attempts on the left. It's extraordinary how quickly this has happened.
I suddenly became itchier than I can recall in recent memory. Thanks.
That was just one of the many points in the article. It's actually not a point at all unless one uses Vim with the specified setting (which you can only do if all the text you edit uses two spaces).
Email is one technology with two quite different use cases: reply and noreply. The former is the sending and receiving of regular correspondence. The latter is the identity stuff and is the majority of my traffic: things like bills, receipts, tickets, reminders, security alerts, login confirmations, etc.

In 2022 I’m more worried about an unregulated company monopolising the noreply part. It’s an enormous part of my life.
COVID19 variant P.1 (aka: Gamma) was also incredibly immune evasive. But Delta spread more than it, so Delta ended up being the dominant strain.

Immunity evasion is certainly a useful trick, but its not enough to become dominant. IMO, just wait around and see which variants show exponential growth. Currently, that's the BA.5 variant (but we're on the tail-end of this cycle).

BQ.1 is really the new variant of concern IMO, just reaching over the 10% mark in the past week or so, and continuing to grow seemingly exponentially.
Was expecting a flock of sheep.
Rivers provided water, yes, but also transportation. Some prior to the development of steam, but especially with steamships, at which point major river systems, and most notably the Mississippi-Missouri, became the first great internal highway system.

This is why the port of New Orleans was so significant in both the War of 1812 and the American Civil War: it controlled all commerce out of the North American / U.S. interior.
Using a self-pipe (signal handler writes one byte to one end, the other end is used in your event loop) is the most portable and reliable way to handle signals.
Considering this era of growth meant Americans became fatter, dumber, and went from 1 person working households to 2 people working multiple jobs who still require state-sponsored benefits households - the end of globalism sounds pretty great.

Keep in mind that sea levels were rising during much this period as the last glaciation was ending. Such that regions which are presently brackish marshes would have been riverside developments, and quite possibly far less marshy.

I'm reading this from Maricopa County (where Phoenix, AZ is the county seat). You might remember Maricopa County from the numerous times that Joe Arpaio made headlines for his cruel, racist, and ultimately illegal behavior for which he sought pardon from Donald Trump.

He also liked to stage witch hunts for political opponents and even reporters, freezing their assets and subjecting them to investigations where the process is the punishment.

I wish that type of corruption was limited to small towns, but from where I'm sitting it seems quite likely that this takes place every day across this country.
That's an absurdly stupid claim, which you have no evidence to support.
Synchronous signals can't possibly be delivered via an asynchronous mechanism like epoll. Well, I suppose they could, but only if the thread that tripped the synchronous signal is put to sleep until some other thread runs a handler for that signal, but this requires APIs that (to my knowledge, except... ptrace) don't exist, and there's no need for them. If you can handle a SIGBUS or SIGSEGV, you don't need to handle them asynchronously, but on the other hand if you can't handle them, then the process will die, so there's just no need to handle these asynchronously.

You don't need to be afraid of Sociopaths as written. Especially not if you're just starting out.

Rather, think of them as massive waves on the ocean. They don't care whether you ride them to shore or are shattered beneath them. Focus more on figuring out which way the waves are going rather than how to stop them.

The pre-chasm definition was “phone with an OS(and run apps)”. Common phones before iOS did not have an OS, as in, had no explicit consumer facing branding for its OS.
>It's in the public interest to hear from the president during significant events.

for the purpose of argument, let's assume this premise is true. It's not hard to imagine that a biden supporter would be amendable to the idea there's a "public interest" to hear from him. However, how would this work if it's a president you oppose? Would you support allowing trump in 2020 to hijack prime time TV so he could rant about how "biden and ANTIFA democrats are mounting a dangerous attack on the country’s values, and Americans must fight back"[1]? Absent a principled way of determining what counts as "public interest", what you're saying just boils down to "people should be forced to hear the speech that I like".

[1] quote adapted from https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/09/01/biden-sla...

>With on demand streaming and syndication folks with get their NCIS fix one way or another.

I haven't had cable for a while, but I'm pretty sure that "on demand streaming and syndication" doesn't allow you to watch episodes as they're being aired. Moreover, not everyone knows how to operate a streaming service. In contrast if you wanted to hear biden's speech you could easily tune into CNN or c-span. Therefore it's pretty clear that canceling prime time TV has more of an impact on people's options than not airing biden's speech does.

I grew up pretty poor, and through a longer story than I want to type here and a confluence of negative voices mostly from my school, was dissuaded from taking the SATs and even considering college.

Years after high school I eventually found my way to community college, then to a 4-year, a grad program and so on. It worked out to be a blessing as I graduated without debt from a major university and entered into a realm of well paying jobs that have put me firmly into a life the rest of my family can barely even comprehend.

To me the proof I should continue to a 4-year degree was doing well in my community college courses. I am fortunate to have been given the gift of automatic entry by policy makers who decided long ago that if you graduate from a Community College you can go to a State School no questions asked...and you can go to a Community College by basically walking off the street no questions asked.

I graduated my undergrad with a 4.0 and my grad with a 4.0, but to be honest I don't think my SATs would have been worth entry into any college and my high school GPA was around a 2.5.

My point is, there are other ways of assessing a child's entire future for entry than a single test, and many alternate paths to attainment. But we act as if there is only one kind of path and one kind of package, a 1600 SAT score, lots of extracurriculars, "differentiator" activities, and an original heart strings pulling letter.

Top schools need to get smarter, more creative, and maybe take a page from those "lesser" schools they turn their noses up at.
I had a lot of conflicting opinions on this article. My upbringing is very similar (albeit 10 years later). But I did become a professional software developer. I even resonated with starting with wanting to make games as a kid!

I don’t think I agree with this destiny stuff, on this specific topic. I think maybe because in college I had a lot of people try to say that some people just will never be able to be a programmer, and that never sat well with me because it was a passion of mine even if I wasn’t as smart.

I’m glad the author learned it! It sort of reminds me of Paula Deen, a very famous chef who IIRC didn’t start her culinary career until her 40s!
I think there's the fundamental problem that the political spectrum is subjective and not fixed. Journalism should aim to report facts as holistically as possible and (I think) be willing to bias towards basic human rights and decency. There simply are not any other news sources that uphold strong journalistic integrity, run deep investigations and align with right wing politics.

WSJ is probably the closest. They don't dig into culture wars but definitely skew capitalist. The Bulwark is a decent independent source but they're small and do more opinion and analysis than reporting. Mainstream conservative news like Fox is just garbage and hopelessly corrupt. The level of direct collusion between Fox stars like Hannity and sitting republicans is utterly shameful. They aren't just biased they are downright running campaign ads disguised as news. And they're staring down a $1B defamation suit for stories they ran at the behest of the Trump admin which should bury the last shred of credibility.
Interesting that he learned Rust largely through binging youtube and online tutorials. I kind of have a theory that for learning large programming languages like C++ or Rust the chunking of 10 minute youtube clips is superior to reading a whole book chapter or watching a 1 hour university lecture. The latter is often too tiring and by the end I am tired and lost but the 10 minute format forces quick examples.
Same for me, I’ve found myself…shudder using Bing more often.
As someone who just honestly enjoys it, this has been painful to see. I feel so few people I can talk to who enjoy the craft.
A lot of claims and no supporting research. My position is clear: You need to give clear evidence that X causes harmful Y before we can discuss banning X. We don't ban X because you and I find it deplorable.

It's suboptimal. It involves a lot of guessing on the applicant's part as to which university is suitable for them. There is a huge possibility for mismatch
I am a two-spacer, largely because I am an Old. However, I do believe it can help with the difference between encountering the period of an abbreviation and one which serves as the end of a sentence. The period here has been operationally overloaded to serve two similar, but not identical, ends.

It isn't any kind of quest of mine to convert the world, so I would not characterize it as a losing battle. Perhaps quaint.
That’s because it isn’t in their interest to do so.

Load81 might be of interest for this as well, it’s a commodore-like console interface for Lua, made by antirez: https://github.com/antirez/load81
As a frontend developer I don’t understand this sentiment. I’ve learned to style websites using CSS, so has every other frontend developer, learning CSS is part of the craft, and if you skip it, you don’t know frontend development. Writing CSS is a big part of the job of a frontend developer.

Now if you are a hacker and are hacking together a website, that is fine. You don’t need to be a frontend developer to write a website, and if that is the case, use tailwind by all means. However in a team that maintains a webapp, you should expect there to be a frontend developer, and you should expect them to know and write CSS, if they are the only person on the team that knows CSS, then probably they will take some authority on that, and I would expect them to assert some authority on every code that contains some styling. If a contributor doesn’t know CSS, and writes a poor CSS code, that should be fixed during peer review. A team that is happy-go-lucky with their styles is surely not going to by writing a well crafted web-app.

How would russian aircrafts with known nuclear capability cross so much NATO airspace without being taken down immediately?

Also, I don't think answering a single nuke with another nuke would be a smart move, especially when the radioactive fallout would hurt allies. Conventional destruction of nuclear and military capabilities seems a much more reasonable and efficient defense to me.

Something in your comment hints that you will probably change your mind after a short while in a coma.
Using your own domain also has advantages in terms of being able to use aliases for different websites so (when, not if) an address gets leaked you can > /dev/null it.

If you're cheap like me you can give family members their own subdomain so everyone can have aliases for the cost of a single domain.

It's sad to think back on myself nearly two decades ago when Gmail first launched as invitation service and I thought I was being smart by not paying for my own domain, little did I know how evil Google would turn out to be in terms of locking people out of their own accounts with no recourse.
I have some experience with static sites — my personal site was a static Markdown-generated site for about six years. The generator went through several iterations, from a shell script to a Haskell app. My company site (also static) was generated with Haskell and later bits of it used Mustache. I've used a variety of hosts, too — GitHub Pages, Vercel, DigitalOcean.

None of those survived even a year without bitrot.

Sure, once the site was deployed it would work forever regardless of the platform. But this is true with Next.js and Vercel (what the OP is using) as well.

Once I wanted to modify the site and reupload it, something would always break. Incompatible dependency versions. The deploy manifest (for Vercel) doesn't work anymore. Something happened with Bash (I don't remember what exactly was the culprit). Nix doesn't work on my new machine and I specified the deps (imagemagick etc) with Nix because "then it'll never break". Etc.

At least with Next.js you get a bunch of nice stuff out of the box. A Next.js site should in theory be faster than a fully 100% static site. Next.js automatically prefetches links in viewport/on hover, makes sure images are only loaded when they are in the viewport, and inlines Google Font links. Vercel automatically distributes your static files over a CDN.

This is just my experience, but personally I have learned that if I want to make a static site, I will not avoid bitrot no matter what. So at least I might enjoy free CDN-enabled hosting & out-of-the-box performance tricks & a good templating language.
Custom layouts are such a drug though. I can’t use any other keyboard now, after getting used to my HHKB, and I have to bring it with me everywhere.

Alder Lake has nearly full-support on all kernels after 5.19. Clock speeds changing is honestly nothing to worry about, and it's a pretty well-developed science at this point. It won't really have any adverse effects. Heterogenous core architectures are a little more wonky, but should be stable on recent kernels. In my experience, I have gotten no Alder Lake-specific crashes (even running picky software like anti-cheat-ridden games).

The AMD options are also quite solid though, especially if you're looking for a no-nonsense, straightforward option. Neither one is a bad pick.

That's the only thing I remember from the test-prep book I bought: a brief paragraph about the "guessing penalty."

As the book said, it wasn't a guessing penalty, it was a guessing-wrong penalty. They told you it was a guessing penalty to scare you into not guessing.

The penalty was a quarter point. Most questions had four options. So it was already an expected zero points on average, not a penalty, and if you could eliminate a single answer it was a net positive to guess.
I very much agree on the shaping your own destiny part. How can anyone subject themselves to a committee of random bureaucrats deciding their future? Even if they were 100% fair and impartial, does it not take away your agency in choosing your own fate?

And let's not pretend that they are 100% fair and impartial. We know for a fact that they are racially biased against different races depending on the time period. And maybe the one who rejected you didn't like how you name sounded. It's not as though the process is transparent, and they're only making it a 100 times more opaque as people catch on to them.
