> My personal opinion is they have untreated PTSD following a violent animal attack in early 2020 that caused life-long damage to their dominant hand. This in turn led to them suffering panic attacks around animals, anxiety due to the Covid lockdowns making treatment/physio complicated, furlough leading to isolation at home and being unable to do many of their hobbies from the physical injury (unable to play video games, the guitar, drums, etc)

You answered your question. I was diagnosed later in life, as a successful engineer. I am not and never was at the "unable to concentrate on a crossword" level, but you seem to have some misunderstanding about what ADHD is. It is not the inability to concentrate on things. It is the inability to concentrate on _appropriate_ things. It's perfectly possible for them to just be completely disinterested in the crossword, yet able to be engrossed for hours in something which interests them. The medication levels this out so you are able to keep your attention on mundane tasks and complete them after the "interesting" part is over, or to start on mundane tasks at all instead of procrastinating until it's do-or-die.

Fundamentally, there's a strong intersection with the dopamine reward system, and a "history of drug misuse" and poor impulse control is completely in line with a diagnosis.

Personally, I went through a close family member's suicide, followed rapidly by moving across the country to an isolated town where my spouse developed a problem with alcohol, a couple years of abuse, a divorce, another move to a different area of the country, then all of the lockdown stuff. All of my (and their) unconsciously constructed support structures, reward activities, and safety nets evaporated. Stop.
Hydrogen doesn't suddenly appear to create a new kind of market, like sudden availability of jetpacks would.

Burning remainders of dinosaurs is on the decline. It is frowned upon by many due to CO2, it is not always readily available (see current war), and finally supply is limited. This leads to a decrease of availability, and at continuing demand an increase in price. Unavoidable.

Prduction of electrical power from renewables is the cheapest form available already today. Also, it can scale without any practical limit. Power just isn't always available when needed, with surplus production at other times. Any improvement in storage cost (mainly device cost, much less efficiency) decreases the price of power from storage.

At some point, the price of power from storage will drop below the price of power from fossil fuels. No magic step will be needed, simply increasing/decreasing prices will meet at some point.
Yeah, it’s one of the most well known engineering & science schools in the world and has an arguably much larger tangible impact than ethereum.
The "I don't know" advice is great, and has done the most to enhance my technical credibility of anything. If you admit freely what you know and don't know, it helps people believe that you do know. By contrast, people who are afraid of admitting that they don't know something are always treated with skepticism.

For some reason, a lot of people seem to have been told to never show weakness by admitting that they don't know something.

I had a professor who gave 20% credit for answering "I don't know" for a question on your homework (plus a little extra if you explain what you do know and why you don't know), and I stole that rule for my own class. One of my students became the VP of a chip company, and told me that the "I don't know" homework rule helped him gain a lot of confidence and save the BS.
If that’s what people in the Netherlands want why not?
If you’re Newton, Einstein, Gates, Elon or some other important figure, then I agree with you. But for the vast majority of all the rest of normal people (~99%), no one is going to remember us, no one is going to remember what we said or did and for sure our actions are going to have almost zero impact on the course of this timeline.
It’s true that some individuals will play a very important role in the continuation of our civilization, but these are just a few compared to the billions of humans.
My experience has been diametrically opposite to this. I've found Stack Exchange communities to be amazing communities to ask deep questions, practice technical writing and even exercise critical thinking skills.

On the Math Exchange I've had nothing but positive experience. The thing to do is first to struggle a bit with the problem and formulate a good question. Asking good question is an incredibly valuable skill. The questions which get treated bad are usually either poorly written and/or the person asking it clearly didn't even spend the bare minimum trying to solve it.

Here are some tips to get your questions answered and upvoted:

1) Spend some time on the problem

2) Describe what you've tried and why according to you that doesn't work or you don't understand it

3) Write in clear language and don't make obvious grammar mistakes
The burnout-collapse trajectory is another kind of homeostasis, only one with very wide range of variation. Though that produces huge human suffering and lossy cultural transmission so it might be worth avoiding.

But homeostatic awakening is continually underway, from 20th century discourse of technique and enframing to our modern drives for global sustainability. Would it not be wise to err on the side of caution, reaching for the stars at some slowest effective rate (Elons per millenium;) until we know more?

Another concern is civilization may execute both futures parallelly via splitting: where some 'elite' Gosper glider-like sets off from home planet, and the Gosper glider gun remains to reset the cycle. If collapse assumed this is your K shaped recovery.

The Fermi paradox does not overly worry me for some reason. Everything Is just so improbable really.
The janitor of my building said something very similar and imo wise: "Healthy people have a thousand wishes. Sick people only have one."
In addition to the bug issue, OpenSSL has been around a long time and has accumulated a great deal of extra bits and bobs due to it being the Swiss-Army Knife of encryption on a lot of systems. If you’re writing a webserver, you’re unlikely to need support for, say, S/MIME for email encryption, but it’s in there. Smaller libraries like Bear or Boring that were designed specifically to do TLS and little else don’t have the extra pieces, which reduces attack surface, simplifies the code, and makes it easier to remove old encryption ciphers and add new ones.
Biz constraints on Twitter don’t really matter to Elon. I take him at his word that be bought Twitter for ideological reasons.
Imagine telling Steve Ballmer about that hahaha. So much energy spent crushing Linux

> The reason why housing is expensive is the same as what the article said about nitrogen emissions, new housing construction is limited to try and not exceed emissions even more.

This is honestly just dumb.
Many of the climate actions taken in European countries like stopping nuclear energy are really really dumb.

> As for schiphol airport lines, I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist but having informed myself a bit on the subject and having been on those queues many times this year, I think it's again a self inflicted problem, as the government wants to have less flights overall, and I believe they found a reasonable escape goat for it with the "staff shortages".

But why? Is it also to reduce emissions? They don't want to actually do something meaningful, so they cause havoc in the Airport to reduce emissions?
What is going on?

Solar isn't limited to homes, does Texas not have any solar farms on the grid? TFA doesn't clarify this.
Very happy to hear this. Best of luck to the team!
“Becoming Your Own Banker” by Nelson Nash was the most practically applicable book I read. The concept was totally foreign to me. I’m still thinking it through many months later, but am about to take my first concrete action / test run of the idea of “infinite banking” as a result of reading it.
it's not an echo chamber unless you tell it to be.

all those videos in your watch history? others have watched those videos, too. youtube will recommend videos that those others have watched and that you have not.

the narrower the focus of your viewed videos, the narrower the focus of the recommendations will be.
"I'm good at DevOps and everyone else should be too", feels tangential, and isn't going to help you when your banking session gets compromised because your bank wasn't prepared to roll this out through any expedited process versus their regulatory compliant, slow process.

(As an example/thought experiment. I make no claims about the vulnerability at hand.)
Only if you’re a blind ideologue. The wind boom in Texas is the result of raising their renewable energy portfolio laws to require a certain amount of it, and by establishing renewable energy zones which give power plant builders expansive powers to condemn and take private property.

You see it’s quite the opposite of free market forces.
Seems very questionable to me to call out Netherlands as having reached some hard limit that a country like Singapore has blown right by. Singapore has a 40% greater GDP per capita, 16 times (!) the population density, and would starve in a matter of weeks without food imports, or grind to a halt almost overnight, without energy imports. 3/4 of its GDP is services based. All of which is to say, a small nation with the right niche economic model can blow by the supposed limits Netherlands is encountering, albeit at the cost of any semblance of having a balanced or remotely self-sufficient economy.
I would take big money to rewrite some OpenGL to Vulkan or whatever. Right now the easiest way to make big money would be writing some crypto garbage, which aligns with your last sentence. The industry is weird

I'm on the other side, I prefer games like Civilization, I tried to get into EU4 but it felt boring.

That's $37 per month less per customer. Now factor in inflation and rising energy costs and what's the total calculus?
Much of that log is just issues with one implementation, which would indicate that the Safari team is either underfunded (time/talent/money wise) or incompetent to break a working/"feature complete" system, multiple times. Not really an issue with the spec as written.

As for transactions.... Yeah I'll admit they suck hard, and can be a pain to remember the quirks of them, as well as dealing with the callbacks.

Quotas and Private mode... Those same issues would apply to webSQL, and webSQL didn't have a way to delete the database to clear it up.

Would love to see examples that buck the stereotype. That doesnt match my experience but I’m open to believing that my limited higher education experience across 5 schools that matches so many other’s is just coincidence.

> But the mixture of his initial, if limited, military advances, the absence of an economic collapse in Russia, and early attempts at peace negotiations calmed nerves. (Heavy drinking may also have helped; it became so acute that Mr Putin started to complain in public about alcoholism.)

Aaaand that's the part where I can't take it seriously anymore. Reasoning with these kinds of stereotypes is just unprofessional.
"Don't just do something; stand there."

Almost always can you afford taking the time to observe and think through a proper solution, instead of rushing in and doing the first thing that comes to mind. Especially if it seems urgent.

Sometimes when you just observe, the problem will go away by itself!
It’s a scenario that has happened many times in many countries, which means it can be studied and investigated.

Now do all the crazy shit that democrats were saying during the "mostly peaceful" BLM riots that did $2,000,000,000 in damage, hurt thousands of cops, hurts thousands of civilians, destroyed thousands of buildings, tens of thousands of cars, and wrecked thousands of American lives - many of them the minorities that BLM claim to support - even though they spent millions on questions "jobs" for family members and millions more on lavish mansions. All of the prominent democrats were behind the BLM violence 100%. Even our VP was bailing out bad actors who would just end up getting arrested again.

Ah election deniers...

Like:

Joe Biden, 2019: “I absolutely” agree that Trump is an “illegitimate president.”

Hillary Clinton, 2019: The election was “stolen.”

Jimmy Carter, 2019: “Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election and was put into office because the Russians interference on his behalf.”

Kamala Harris, 2019: “Absolutely right” that Trump “didn’t really win.”

Karine Jean-Pierre, 2016: It was a “stolen election.”

Jerry Nadler, 2017: It was a “tainted” and “illegitimate” election.
Not sure I personally understand the point you're making. Are reading and deploying to production activities that are mutually exclusive in your life?
The trick is in the word "times". In english every kid learns the "times table" ie "3 times 5 is 15; 6 times 7 is 42" so in this case "200 times less" means x/200. Live and learn, especially in a second language :)
I've seen many bugs that (because they had a workaround) were pushed away because nobody had the mental strength to open their specific can-o-worms or dig for their root cause. Someone who comes in just for those sounds like a sweet deal.
Because in many cases fixing those requires understanding the whole working model of the system in it's whole, you now have established a relationship for future bug elimination. And the next bugs will take less time as you now have that mental model...

All in all - good niche idea, if you can find how and where to market it.
I am CS student. I was having hard time in writing math notations, since I think in programming concept. For this when I ask question at Math Stack Exchange, I always get lynch by them, my questions usually deleted in few hours, now I am scared to ask questions at.

As long as Apple can make more money selling devices and subscriptions than from ads I'd trust them 10x more than Google or FB. If there is credible competition and Apple continues to position itself as the 'privacy' option I don't think it really makes sense for them to shift towards Ads too much, they'd just lose customers and there is more $ in iPhones anyway.

Now if Apple actually becomes a virtual monopoly or it's the opposite and they have to cut their margins it's a quite different picture.
Something to keep in mind is that a hotplate or inductive cooktop may not need to run at full duty cycle depending on the heat dissipation of the materials involved and the setpoint of the themrostat or temperature probe.

It may be pulling its maximum rated power while it comes up to temperature, but it'll be regulated by some sort of thermostat.

Once it's at temperature the rate of heat dissipation of the hob, pan, and even the ingredients themselves will affect how soon it'll drop below the threshold and power draw will resume.

A system with a lower maximum power would still work, but it would be running at a higher duty cycle to maintain the same temperature. It would take longer to get to the set temperature in the first place and slower to bring it back to temperature whenever the temperature drops.

That said, I'm pretty confident that 700-800 watts would be useful for many types of cooking and I think it's achievable with a dozen or so people pedaling.
Are these meant to be programmatically enforced via CI? If so, I wonder if adding an Alpine-based build to the pipeline would cover all the unsupported commands automatically.

There's an NPR podcast series about that - The Disconnect: Power, Politics and the Texas Blackout https://www.npr.org/podcasts/1004840920/the-disconnect-power...

The issue is how they set up the grid and avoided any federal regulation. Additionally, the market structure that it uses is designed to be running as close to being a blackout as possible without actually blacking out in the name of "an efficient market".

"Much of what you do today (or don’t do) was decided by the person you were years ago, a person with less life experience and less insight into your values." -- David Cain

I didn't understand even half of that but am still excited. I have no less than 6 external HDDs and SSDs lying around and it's been a pain to make a good stable ZFS pool out of them. `bcachefs` seems like a perfect match.
Actually, I read both the first and second editions this year. Was looking forward to the second edition, and preordered.

Sadly, it didn't quite live up to the impact of first book. Whilst it's mainly the same, there are a couple of areas where the pacing is a bit uneven. He has an overlong chapter on creating a clock. And his later chapters on programming in higher languages, with examples in javascript, are not as compelling as the earlier stuff.
There are solar farms in Texas, a bit over 8GW installed so far with several large projects planned to come online soon. I've driven past some pretty large solar fields out in far west Texas. It's an interesting scene seeing extremely flat lands all the way to the horizon filled with some randomly placed rusty old pump jacks, massive arrays of solar panels, and massive wind turbines in the distance.
A) It's not just surgery, there's the difficulty in getting HRT.

B) For some trans people, the surgery is necessary from a quality of life perspective and a reduction of dysphoria.

C) It varies by country. In the US, the medical system is actively hostile to everyone (but especially trans people). In the UK, the requirements to just get HRT as a legal adult are insane.
Not to speak of Nim's ORC, which is automatic memory management, but arguably not garbage collection. Instead it's, roughly, automatic reference counting with cycle detection. The stopping times are absolutely minuscule!

Is this a real problem or a fake problem?

Every airport is struggling for the most part because they lost all staff over the past few years and have to hire them all back at once. Besides I was at Schiphol recently and it was fantastic -- no queues. I didn't notice any issue with restaurants in Amsterdam. Housing costs in AMS are also relatively acceptable in my opinion.

Have a few statistics and a lot of anecdata been stretched to their breaking point in this article? Is there even a problem?
Given the lack of mention in the paper, I suspect they’re unable to distinguish OpenSSL from its forks, notably BoringSSL. OpenSSL might be used in an offline mode but I don’t think anyone really trusts it for online these days.
Ironically, there might actually be more PS2 units out there than M1 Macs. The PS2 sold nearly 155 million units during it's lifespan, which is genuinely mind-boggling from a marketing perspective.
To supplement, take Hong Kong and Singapore for example, they both has a population density roughly ten times to Netherlands, 30%-ish more expensive in terms of rent. And both have a soaring housing market for the past 20 years. They are at the "limit of growth" for two decades

Economics makes no sense. End of. That's why it's econ-omics and not

There isn't and they don't. Like Art, it's whatever you want it to be.
I will hazard a guess. Cerf liked the top-level organization scheme com/org/edu because he worked hard on it and it carries meaningful information about the owner of the domain. E.g. identifies the domain-owner as either a for-profit corp, a non-profit org, or a school. By contrast new tlds like "app" or "website" imply absolutely nothing about the domain or the person/org that owns it. So there's a net loss in meaning. Effectively the domain variability has leaked into the tld.

It's a worthy discussion for HN.
I don't know anything about the update processes banks use. I would hope they wouldn't have to jump through hoops to apply a security update. Didn't they learn this already?
I'd be happy with knobs!

The biggest issue I've seen with consumer induction cooktops is that all the affordable ones use stop touch/tap interfaces that make it really difficult to adjust heat while cooking.

If the primary input was just a potentiometer (or rotary encoder, if they wanted to be fancy) it would be trivially easy to set or adjust any hob at any time.
