Office friends by Gavin Ewart

Eve is madly in love with Hugh

And Hugh is keen on Jim.

Charles is in love with very few

And few are in love with him.

Myra sits typing notes of love

With romantic pianist’s fingers.

Dick turns his eyes to the heavens above

Where Fran’s divine perfume lingers.

Nicky is rolling eyes and tits

And flaunting her wiggly walk.

Everybody is thrilled to bits

By Clive’s suggestive talk.

Sex suppressed will go berserk,

But it keeps us all alive.

It’s a wonderful change from wives and work

And it ends at half past five.
If you haven't stayed at any single position for at least a year, then odds are you haven't developed some skills crucial for your job.

Sure, you can move a mountain in 3-6 months, I've seen such people. Most of them will move the mountain to a wrong place, and won't stay to help bring it back at the desired one. They will just go, leaving chaos back, totally unaware of the mess they created.
Or they will move the mountain to the correct place, but will do it in such a way, that no-one is able to maintain, improve, or fix the mountain.

Leaving before a year or two, means you never owned your mistakes. You never tweaked your engineering intuition for teamwork, reliability, or maintainability.

Hey, you might be brilliant, but that's not what engineering is about.
This is one of the challenges I have faced with russing servers on local IPs.

Do you have any resources you can share about this subject?
The thing is, what works really well for python is not just easily portable features.

Having a REPL and things like notebooks is great. Having pip install. Having a syntax that is very beginner friendly, especially for reading. Just making it easy to glue code together without worrying about types.

Half of these things are hard to impossible to port, and many others are actively undesirable to port.

If you consider python as a sort of bash-scripting language, that is explicitly meant to call 'real' code and very easily combine it into something new that is more usable, that might make more sense. Sadly the extra ergonomics of python vs bash mean that making code that can easily be called by python is a lot more work.
WFH is making it much better for me.

In work you have no friends, you have colleagues. Maybe 1% of them really care about you.
Even those who seems like they care about you, are so used to see you by default every day, that you never develop a way to communicate otherwise - so when you will change jobs, they will disappear.

These fake relationship in the workplace are the main reason you'll find yourself alone in your 30s.

But WFH allow me to cultivate REAL friendships with people that choose to communicate with me without being forced by "being in the same office".
Long term, this is the only way not to end up alone.
The first course of business for any laptop bought should be to reinstall it.
How do you pick a good port number that doesn't clash now and in the future?

Ps: it is a disgrace that the network/kernel still uses port numbers rather than names, which would be much more flexible.
Are you saying Putin hasn’t used threats to cut gas supplies to Europe to attempt to deter the West from helping Ukraine?
I don't get it. For a few more bucks they instantly get their brand connonated with slowness and being unreliable.

How do manufacturers throw in all the crapware and expect a good user experience and happy customers? Oh of course, they don't care.

I've moved to Mac but back in days I used Windows, the VERY FIRST thing I did was to install a fresh copy of Windows, then install any necessary drivers which are absolutely required for proper function (I remember just finding the driver files and installing them manually from add hardware dialog instead of installing bloatware of the manufacturer).

Wish things have changed in 10 years... apparently it didn't.

And of course I'm tech savvy. I don't see any less-savvy senior being able to solve this problem; it should be regulated in a way that there should be a mandatory and ugly label showing all the crapware included with the device while buying, perhaps even extra taxing for each crapware included, discouraging manufacturers from including them.
This is tangibly related to gov software being open or not.

E.g. do you want your social security or medical system to be open source or not? Much more eyes can look at it and catch bugs. Many adversaries also have eyes and can do a passive analysis even before connecting. And they DO have budgets to do that very thoroughly. This is also a form of security by obscurity.

Straw man. Nobody is arguing for ssh on 2222, with root:root for every server.

Also - acquiring / maintaining / training / using good IR equipment consumes far more resources & attention than basic camouflage does. Good troops do something called "field training", where they become quite familiar with how effective cover & camouflage can be. And they've figured out that the stakes on a battlefield are "death", not "deal with server being hacked".

If Carmack or Dean were unable to make an impact after 2 years despite their exceptional skillsets, they probably wouldn't have stayed as long. If your culture doesn't let top performers, well, perform, then why would they waste their time in a place where their contributions can't reach a level of impact that can justify paying them what they're worth?
> Those groups are all trying to figure out how to attract people.

I guess because they are all far removed from the needs of younger generations. The church for obvious reasons, greasy diner because people want healthy food options. Bowling still seems kind of popular but mostly with families.

We need new community spaces that match the needs of new generations. I'm not sure I have the answer for what they are, but maybe a place that does good food and has areas for hosting whatever events and workshops people want to put on?
Or maker/hacker/art spaces?

Besides that, we need to reorganize our society so that people have some free time and financial security while working a reasonable number of hours, even for entry level and low skill jobs.

If everyone is stressing about their financials and has no spare money/time to enjoy life, find friends, and pursue hobbies, then I'm afraid we live in a kind of low-level dystopia and no amount of "3rd spaces" will fix that.
Yeah, if anything, Russia is a hyper-individualist ultra-capitalist endstate of society - every man for himself, taking care only for himself and everything you need has to be paid for.
Even soldiers have to buy their own equipment with predatory loans from people that stole it from the army.

Calling Russia (heck or even China) "collectivist" is just repeating propaganda from expired times and show a horrifyingly poor education.
These would not answer whether someone behaves responsibly with dangerous research. It answers whether someone had any connection to Wuhan.

You can find plenty of people who would answer all "no"-s and would be far more destructive if they had access.

Would you also claim that no one who worked at Cernobyl was trustworthy? This is just guilt by association.
Linux is slowly becoming irrelevant.

Yes it owns the cloud space, UNIX has won there.

However it is precisely the cloud that that is making the OS irrelevant by having containers, language runtimes and type 1 hypervisors, all OS agnostic.

While on the embedded space we are seeing adoption of FOSS OSes with various levels of POSIX compatibility with MIT/BSD/Apache licenses, more appealing to OEMs.
NY state has a long running study where on July 15th every year they would put up a super bright lighthouse bulb in the middle of the woods and put it over a tarp. After they night they'd weigh the physical mass of insect life that had come to the light, and died, overnight.

I forget the exact %, but they'd seen a 50 or 60 percent reduction in mass since the 70's, some depressingly high number.
I'm quite curious about what Biden meant not long ago about "getting rid of Nordstream 2" publicly.

Its such a strange risky speech.
Well, there are a bunch of reasons of maintaining the "charade".

Firstly, faster languages don't have the ergonomics.

Secondly, there's a tonne of Python code out there already that isn't going away any time soon, and any effort to make the runtime faster benefits all that code.

Thirdly, there's little reason Python can't be as fast as the likes of JavaScript beyond the issues imposed by the C extension API. The reality is that not a lot of effort has historically been put into making the CPython runtime particularly fast. It's only recently that anyone's put any concerted effort into it.
> What about your children's social/well-being from not interacting with their peers?

With "social skills", you mean either tolerating bullying or becoming a bully? (Compulsary) school is a prison, so the only social skills that children learn in school are about surviving in this prison.
My first few jobs were very short tenure, because I was afraid to ask for fair salary, it was easier to just leave.
If animals in nature had a defense against predators as effective as “PasswordAuthentication no”, they wouldn’t need camouflage.
Navilens – Empowering the Visually Impaired
This very much resonates with me and I find it ridiculously frustrating about myself. I can more easily deliver well-received work at the last minute than I can a steady pace of work that would be sometimes higher quality because of the opportunity to put it down for a few days and then review and improve at a more leisurely pace.

But the procrastination monkey inside skips most of the chances to do the latter.

Ironically, not having a deadline at all has given me a chance to deliver some of my best work (or work I’m most proud of), but I can also understand why a world with no time commitments wouldn’t actually work globally better.
Surely Russia will be declaring war on the West if this happens. Certainly a load of Russian naval assets will be sunk if they start cutting Internet cables and attacking Norway’s gas infrastructure is an attack on NATO and would elicit an equivalent response against Russian gas infrastructure. It can’t be done without WW3.

Or is Putin assuming he can behave like a gangster and eventually we’ll back down? I’m not sure this is possible given that any sign of weakness leads to more threats.
I think it is not economical from a statistical point of view. If an admin changed their ssh port, then they probably took other measures too.
Tell HN: Google closed my non-profit AdSense and Programmable Search accounts
I built a non-profit search engine where the plan was to donate 100% of our profits to other non-profit organizations and charities. The organization had been approved by Google as a non-profit and had been successfully running Google Programmable Search Engine for over a year I guess (a lot of the time without ads because AdSense wasn't approved until July, and Google makes it possible for non-profits to disable ads).

For the first few months we had little traffic and was just shy of our first 600 DKK payout, but in October things seemed to take off and had reached around 2000 DKK by October 17. When I wanted to add a payment method then I encountered the following error:

> We couldn't complete this action. Try a different verification, payment method, or contact us. [OR-BAAVFT-03]

My community forum post was ignored (afaik the only way to contact the AdSense department?), but I managed to get in contact with the Google Pay department who were able to solve the issue. Things were finally coming together and shared my excitement in another HN thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33256412#33258630.

But when I woke up this morning then saw an email stating "Your Google Publisher Account has been disabled" with the following text:

> [...] In your case, we have detected invalid traffic or activity on your account (Publisher Code: pub-1984005958321147) and as a result it has been disabled. [...]

I do use MullvadVPN, but I never click on my own ads even if they're relevant, and both the search results and ads would appear without problems when using VPN, so I feel it's a bit farfetched to blame that on the invalid traffic/activity (since they could just opt not to display search results/ads for certain IPs).

To make matters worse, they even closed my Programmable Search Engine account (cx=9715cb86fd27e9ba0) so now the website is not able to display any search results at all (and can only show instant answers on some queries, e.g. https://ask.moe/search/web?q=600+dkk+to+usd). I can't even access the settings page to review traffic, and Google hasn't sent any email regarding the closure of the Programmable Search Engine account.

I'd really appreciate if anybody is able to help or provide suggestions about how to proceed from here. Switching (back) to the Bing Search API is not really an option because it feels impossible to join the Microsoft Advertising network.

> If you’re actually good I don’t think you can be called a snake oil salesman exactly.

Of cause you can. Every single social media body builder who’s obviously on Steroids but is claiming they got to they are by eating whatever the latest marketable product they come across(see referral link in bio) is, are snake oil salesmen’s, even if they are objectively and impossible as muscular as their viewers want to be.

Lars got really good at archery doing what every other archer does… the big dumb secret you ask? He practiced. But it’s difficult to sell pratice, even expensive one on one tutoring only gets you so far. So he invented a narrative where “Big Archery” has been conspirering since the Dark Ages to teach archery wrong, but if you follow his cult of the true archery (click link for details on the subscription pricing), then you too will instantly become an archer supreme, capable of firing several arrows through keyholes!

It’s acceptance of people as they are but then ostracizing them from the community.

We’re not including people who are different anymore than we did in the past. We’re just “accepting” them with words and not actions.

I see this behavior a lot in my social circles and communities I’m involved in. A lot of preaching of acceptance and awareness while not including them in anything at all.

It’s all idpol.
Reminds me of the "long tail effect". One work of weird pro war fiction is not enough, but different customised propaganda for every niche might be something.
> In the Brexit case, it was white Eastern Europeans coming in to UK and taking over low-paying jobs.

Perhaps true in many people's minds, but it largely seems to be the case that native Brits do not want to do those jobs. Either Brits tend to see themselves as "above that", or there is a serious shortage of workers in those areas (structural problem). Therefore, such jobs were left undone or severely delayed. The UK got what it literally asked for and is now finding out that it didn't actually want that.
It’s good that Rust has this culture. But the flip side is that issues that wouldn’t even be bugs in other languages have CVEs filed for them in Rust. A layman looking at the Rust language thinks it looks very insecure. Example from a couple weeks ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33151963
A few simple obscurity tricks - 22 => 2222, /admin/ => /hq/, etc. - can save your ass if there's a remote zero-day, and the bad guys are busy scanning for low-hanging fruit while the good guys learn about it then scramble to patch.

Is this false equivalence or whataboutism? I'm not very familiar with debate terms.
> back roads like these tend to have some of the highest speed limits

I assume that's because there are some roads still left where they're trusting drivers' common sense to not try to drive as fast as they're theoretically allowed to.
Yes, but the people at the top define what that culture is.
Yeah but it messes up your logs.
There is a large online community that participates in English across many nationalities, but there are also many vibrant online communities that do not use English and are compromised of a smaller subset of nationalities. It seems like these are really hidden away from monolingual English speakers.

For those who speak English or want to learn it is a great opportunity to reach across national identities, but , at the same time, I don't really foresee the other communities disappearing.

I mean thats not really an argument is it?

forcing people to do shitty jobs that make that unwell, for shit all cash isn't a great look. Arguing that its ok because they make slightly above the median income for the place they live, even less so.
That’s not how the sciences work. Historians don’t invent a narrative and then go through ancient texts trying to find pictures and snippets they can use to back up their narrative. You start from the source, study it and try to deduce the truth, and you can try to craft a narrative that portrays that truth as accurately as possible.

> In later videos he talks about not just historical archery, but specific styles

Yes he talks a lot about it and everything he makes up gets quickly and thoroughly debunked. He might as well be claiming that aliens invented archery. He’s a fraud who’s good with a acrobatic trick shots with bow and arrow, not a historian.
Why would he? The fact that you want something for a very good reason doesn't mean it will happen.

People often have a hard time accepting that a problem may not have a solution. The nuclear threats from this f**** regime are a good example: simply yielding to them doesn't actually decrease the risk of a nuclear exchange, it merely postpones it.
You have to watch out these days even when installing a fresh copy of Windows as I found out recently, since some motherboards coughASUScough have software in the BIOS which can get automatically installed. There's an option that comes up on first boot and I clicked yes thinking it was some drivers, but it was the regular company branded bloatware more or less. Not going to make that mistake again.
This. It only gets the way it is, because the people have allowed it.

I know it's not ideal to have to go through the pain and trouble of being the good and righteous person who stands up against bad employers; but you HAVE to do it, or this is what happens.
Well my comment is that this paper isnt pseudoscience, but falls into the category of "cooky speculative science", which I'm generally reasonably OK with. But I would prefer it makes that point clearer. It is certainly part of the "pseudoscience culture" wherein many papers are just "not even wrong".

The reason it's, at best, speculative is that we have no idea at what layer the brain-body-env performs computations.

If we're interested in a dynamical model of the brain-body-env, then we want a series of partial differential equations which are parameterised by space and time. Just as we would describe the electrical field of a digital machine.

However since we know that +/- voltage states of the machines we create are the relevant discrete states to give a computational description, we can also give a non-dynamical account of a digital computer (ie., we can say it realises the sequence: 0001, 1001, 0101, etc.

What this paper does it take arbitrary aspects of arbitrary parts of the brain, and tries to marry them to some existing computational framework.

If an alien were to analyse a CPU that way, for example, it could easily conclude that it's the heat of air particles warmed by the CPU which "did computational work". Since they do computational work, but none relevant to the digital computer we are using.

This paper treads the line, some others cross it, in breathlessly claiming their series of wild, indefensible, and pretty clearly wrong assumptions which motivate their fashionable computational framework (ie., NNs, etc.) show that their press-released new projects (eg., GPT, etc.) are like brains somehow.
What else would "after a year" mean though? People don't usually have COVID for that long.
Since Windows licences are tied to the hardware you can reinstall it from almost any Windows installation media and it should automatically activate.
A boom of one particular species is not necessarily indicative of a healthy ecosystem. We don't welcome algal blooms as signs of life bouncing back; rather, they are brutally disruptive to ecosystems. They leave mass death in their wake. Without a closer study of which species you're observing (they might be human-borne invasive species after all), it's not really easy to say if what you're seeing is healthy at all. And the timescales are important. This year or this decade might be a boom and 20 years from now they've managed to deplete their environment of resources and crash.
I often travel to Asia for work which means I have meetings in the USA which start at 6am.

It's absolutely insane how hard 6am meetings are for me compared to 7am or 8am starts as when I'm back in Sydney time.

When I have to get up early, I'm just less productive, end of story.
Yeah. I bought mine because it was half the price of a similar year 4runner or similar. I ended up getting rid of it for the reasons you state, but had a blast with it while I had it.
You'll probably want to use 64 bit integers here just in case you need to deal with the national budget.

Assume Principal (P) is provided in pennies. In pseudo code:

P := P * 100 //temporarily scale out 2 extra digits for accuracy (4 decimals total)
for I:=1 to 360 do
P := P + ((P * 8)/1200)
return (P+50) div 100 //round back to nearest penny

By my calculations, this returns 1093572966 pennies or $10,935,729.66

How did I do?

Thanks for playing.
It's simply not economical to recycle most if not all plastics a.t.m.. So unless taxes on new plastics get increased dramatically, we will never ever seem any substantial recycling in play, period.
build in public

if you expose your operational activities - basically assume that everything you are doing is worth 'getting out there' - then you will have no end of content to produce.

the biggest mistake early content creators make is thinking that their output needs to be genius; it really just needs to be output, the market will decide whether it is any good or not, not you

good luck
