I'd think hard and long before taking medications (personally, I already have, and decided not to).

Psychologists have a tendency to overprescribe drugs and you have no idea how that will screw up who you are and what you think.

Even if you don't have to pay for those drugs thanks to some healtcare insurance (whether public or private), some money will still flow towards the maker of drugs and that means they have an interest in doctors overprescribing medicines.

Instead of drugs, why not try to change something else in your life?
Change job, increase your autonomy, find another way to live?
The problem with ALL MFA factors including SMS is that they can disappear. One of the reasons we like SMS in my company is because in our experience the support costs of MFA are astronomical for other factors because the rate at which users seem to lose them.

In practice, a lot of the non-sms factors end up requiring reset every couple of years on average. It means our support orgs end up treating MFA resets as routine and that in itself can lead to situations where you open your customers up to social engineering attacks on support and support tooling.

There's really no easy answer here, my only hope is that eventually we move to government issued, strong, digital identities as second factors.
Yes, it was the first thing considered and ruled out by the psychologist I've been seeing.

> What so you do instead of completing tasks? Is it just a wall preventing you from completing tasks, or do you get distracted by other things?

Majorly distracted. Put me in front of a boring task at work and I will immediately try to shift to something I find more interesting. It's always been a huge struggle to focus on my work tasks, but combined with "burnout" it's now just impossible.

I don't have imposter syndrome, I know that of my coworkers I am the most technically skilled. The problem is being the best technically doesn't matter when you can't deliver consistently.

Given how very little the TomTom announcement actually says, I've read it as a (desperate?) attempt to pivot into the mapbox market. In any case, nice to see OSM eating the mapping world.

I'm not sure how many people have messed around with the Character.ai beta but personally I'm awed that it does some of the things it does. It predictably fails at times and makes some odd mistakes, but at other times it insightfully points things out that I hadn't considered and explains itself quite eloquently when prompted. It's a lot better discussing literature and philosophy than science, though... and a compulsive liar. But a human editor willing to paper over the inconsistencies can definitely churn out articles in a fraction of the time with language models like this. And in regular conversation it's easily up there with, or surpasses, your average internet troll (which, as you pointed out, isn't exactly a high bar).
Wait, what is the difference between this and procrastination?
Yes and it was great. I hope you enjoy your extra ports so I can lug around my heavier more cumbersome devices with me, all day every day.

I think they've made a huge mistake in catering to the nerds rather than pushing the envelope for the average consumer. Never heard a civilian complain about the ports on their mac.
I actually think having large, centralized platforms actually makes the polarization problem worse because they encourage usage habits that keep people only within the milieu they've had curated for them within that platform. A more confederated system, like having multiple independent fora, means most people can dabble in and out of multiple different communities at once and not have their perspective on how the world is skewed in the same sort of systematic way.

Sure some people will go down the rabbit hole anyway, but then they will limit their reach by virtue of being too extreme to appeal to "normal" or moderate people who don't think about this stuff too deeply and are put off by extremism reflexively. When things are more centralized, there's sort of a one-way ratcheting effect where you get exposed to mild versions of the thing enough to start getting into it, and then slowly get pulled into more and more extreme versions. That doesn't happen with forums that each have their own culture and identity, there isn't as much transitional/interstitial space to acclimatize you. You just jump in, read the vibe without being preconditioned, and make your instinctual call on whether you'd like to stay.
Out of interest how long did you expect them to support a lifetime subscription for?

1. When a client asks for additional work, prepare a proposal for the additional work, then only proceed once the client has signed the proposal for the additional scope.

2. Alternatively, work with clients who understand development.

Good luck.
I've long since lost or sold my F100, but you can go to Flickr or 500px and search for F100 photos - it's still relatively popular among people that want to shoot on film.

Doing a quick side by side comparison of the 'selfie in the woods' shot with a shot of a person with a beard on 500px ( https://500px.com/photo/89633601/ge-by-nika-topuria ), the F100 shot has similar levels of detail in the facial hair, despite being taken from farther away and with what looks to be a wider angle lens by my eyes. You can pick out single strands of hair and bits of fuzz on the subject's clothing, etc., as well.

Bokeh is, of course, massively better on the F100. And I'll take basically any of the Fujia films over the color grading in the iPhone.

Meanwhile, basically every single concert photo on flickr for the f100 absolutely destroys the iPhone in quality ( https://www.flickr.com/search/?text=nikon%20f100%20concert )

Looking at landscape shots, it does appear you'll get more detail out of the iPhone camera ( https://500px.com/photo/10782613/silent-chorus-by-chris-froe... ), so I can't claim it's universally better, but I think the idea that phone cameras "comprehensively" outperform quality film SLRs from the 90s is false.
Either appear to be acceptable choices. Looking at their respective websites, they both make similiar commitments to remaining independent. From what I found, the Rocky website actually makes the commitment in stronger terms than the Alma website.
I don't know any purely functional languages[], so my viewpoint is skewed here. Whenever I have seen a python developer drink the functional kool-aid they end up either storing state in global variables, environment variables or in a dictionary they end up passing to every function. I then have to explain to them that passing a dictionary around and expecting variables to be in it is just half-assed OOP.

My rule of thumb is anything that needs state should be in a class, and anything that can be run without state or side effects should be a function. It is even good to have functions that use your classes, as long as there is a way to write them with a reasonable set of arguments. This can let you use those functions to do specific tasks in a functional way, while still internally organizing things reasonably for the problem at hand.

The minute people start trying to force things to be all functional or all OOP, then you know they've lost the plot.

[] I have been wanting to learn lisp for over a decade, I just never get around to it.
You're both wrong, I hope ;) Tech jobs just seems to follow the usual hype cycle so IMO tech jobs will still be needed in the future but perhaps fewer of them.
Tech jobs are also much harder than they used to be - when I started 'coding' HTML+CSS was considered high skill. Now you're expected to have serverless lambdas generating those pages and to configure a CDN and SSL and maybe talk to some backend Machine Learning APIs for a similar pay grade.
So roles where you can still handle other people, and deliver, working technical solutions will still be very much in demand.
Because the Pfizer vaccine wasn't developed by Pfizer, but by Biontech, who received funding from German tax payers and other institutions.
A singularity is a point on a spacetime manifold where it has a cusp. You can draw a bounding sphere around that, of which I’ve given two examples.

What fact about spacetime geometries are you trying to convey?

You should try explaining the relevance of what you’re repeating in terms of spacetime geometries rather than just repeating the same statement over and over — which isn’t a constructive reply.
By whom? Because I can assure you that it’s not true.

Debian patches a lot for completely bonker reasons. They do it to support architectures nobody uses. They do it to remove part of packages for purely ideological motives. They do it to split packages into multiple parts making work harder for upstream when bugs are found. They do it to integrate with their own subpar tools. Sometimes they introduce major bugs along the way like the infamous OpenSSL one.

I understand people liking the fact that Debian is community maintained but the security track record is simply not there.

How do you come to the conclusion that merit is evenly distributed?
There was a time I was working in very toxic environment. Imagine situations like seeing manager shouting angrily at your coworker and you being unable to do anything about it. Or manager being passively aggressive towards you, making personal comments or treating you as his menial (bring-me-some-tea kind) without reason. And I was in worse situation than you as I could not leave at the time, had to line something up first. But once I left I literally felt the burden sliding off my back, best feeling ever.
A common trick on css is two add two shadows. The first one is more intense, but has a very small radius. The second one has a larger radius, but a less intense colour.

This is a play on how shadows work on real life; where objects may have a strong shadow from an overhead lamp, and a softer shadow via lighting bleeding in from windows or other rooms.

The results of this are very subtle -- an untrained eye sees just "a shadow" and not two (I can only recognise this because a designer friend taught me this trick).

I wonder if applying a similar technique on window borders could work. But instead of the inner shadow being less intense, it would be a higher contrast one. It's definitely worth exploring.

Personally, I'm prefer simple borders instead of shadows. They take up just 1 or 2px (e.g.: maximise space efficiency), and are super clear.
Find a new job, sounds like you will not recover where you are now.
Looks like you haven't got past 1st level support to have someone technical to look at this. Maybe their CRM "lost your number". Anyways, there are good suggestions on this thread. And telling you are going to involve some 3rd party like FCC should get you past 1st level support, I hope.
70k! whoua, twitter is in trouble. It might be a good rise for Mastodon, but the fact is that 70k user-ish is nothing in social-media-scale.
License aside Microsoft at least provided Bing satellite imagery source for OSM mappers before there was Maxar and others. Actually there were others before (was it Yahoo?) but that is not the point.
Ask HN: Would you buy an AI-generated picture book (for kids) or a comic?
Not sure what to make of the coming flood of picture books/comics with AI-generated illustrations.

I can see a future soon where AI picture books will be flooded on Amazon (using print-on-demand). Or writers create comics with AI-generated images.

Would you buy such books if they cleary state the images were AI-generated? Would you feel shortchanged if the book omits the fact the images were AI-generated? Or would you avoid AI-generated picture books or comics?

(Aside: I wonder if a new role emerges: the AI touch-up artist who takes an AI image as the base and embellish. A bit like the 'photobashing' technique widely used by artists.)
Yes. I don’t expect fixes to immigration to resolve constraints with Jones Act. I do expect it would make other large parts of the labor market more flexible and relieve pressure on positions constrained by Jones Act.
Evertas Insurance | US-based REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.evertas.com/ | https://www.evertas.com/careers/

Evertas is the world's first cryptoasset insurance company. We're a Bermuda carrier, Lloyd's of London cover-holder, and have been around for almost 5 years. We write real policies which actually cover significant risk for clients, quantify premiums based on the effectiveness of deployed controls, and do professional services for clients to put better controls in place (or helping other insurance companies with underwriting and claims adjustments).

(I'm Chief Security Officer; have been involved in crypto since the 1990s (blinded tokens), and I love insurance as a powerful tool to improve security across the industry. The rest of the team are also cryptocurrency and security OGs, with industry and institutional experience.)

Among other roles, we're looking to hire 1-2 Security Engineers. Primarily this is for underwriting and professional services in the cryptocurrency space, as well as research into risks in the space (and mitigations). A great thing about insurance is it's not "call in the middle of the night over a holiday with a crisis", but solving things prospectively for clients, but still having significant and meaningful impact.

We're open to security experts moving into cryptocurrency, or cryptocurrency experts moving into security, but obviously having interest in both is key (and expertise in both would be amazing). We highly value professionalism, integrity, and a problem-solving nature.

Please apply through the form at https://www.evertas.com/careers/ but I'm happy to answer questions to ryan.lackey@evertas.com as well.
Yet for practical purposes, the US gov has been interfering and dictating which speech can be posted on social media. Both twitter and facebook have takedown portals for government officials. I suspect others do as well. Back door channels between gov agencies and companies exist and influence what gets exposure. Such channels even led to a major news organization being censored and temp-banned, despite having a legitimate story of national interest. This is a major issue, and I'll tell you why, even though I believe I don't have to:

In the past, journalists were the check against government over-reach, corruption, and fraud. That has been thrown out the window, as it is clear to the objective observer that the majority of media and government work very closely together to push a coordinated narrative, and have been for some time.

When citizen journalists emerged, whistleblowers and independent bloggers began publishing stories (some of them trash, others being very good at what they do) - yet they rely on social media for reach. If their stories oppose the narrative of both mainstream media and government, they are labeled (without any real evidence) as misinformation or "russian" propaganda. This in itself is propaganda.

Frankly, I'm tired of the nanny state. Neither myself or any other functional adult needs media, government, or party to tell us what to think, do, or say. The whole mess is antithetical to the core principles of the United States.

Libre should delete the code that support X509 email addresses.
What do you mean no? You're saying the same thing, you just added a step to explain why the alternatives were cheaper (free).
If you've got the right people in place, CEO could be a mostly ceremonial position.

I think though Musk seems overextended. The last two firms don't seem terribly important or difficult, but it would really be sad to see Starship fail because of problems at Twitter. If Tesla goes down, the electric car revolution is underway, but if SpaceX goes down Northrup Grumman and Boeing will have no difficulty building rockets to nowhere for a long, long, long, long time.
It could be that you are watching a big network fuck up in real time.
Well, the alternative is that merit is distributed in a racially uneven way. Is that your thesis?
Same for both: brake. I don't want either hitting my windshield. The kickball may be bouncy, sure, but it may have gotten rocks stuck to it, which can create a point stress and scratch paint or chip the windshield.

Humans can't intuit mass unless the object meets certain criteria, either. What if it's an opaque cardboard box in the road?

Generally the strategy is the same: avoid it.
Mostly:

- Employ direct reports who are very competent

- Pay them well

- Give them a steer (usually "feed me / make more money)

- Repeat
You did not understand me. I want to live my life, don't harass me or pull me into your fights. And don't attribute random US politics to me. I'm glad these are none of my business, and i want it to stay that way.
It's okay that your body is telling you some things that your brain won't hear. This is a survival mechanism and hopefully will spur you into a better place.

But you have to be willing to change. YMMV, but the first thing I would do is stop doing things that don't work. Change your environment and change the people you see.

Office life not your thing? Try construction or landscaping. Determined to stick it out? Make selfless service and love you primary values. Seek to hear and serve.

Psychologists can't help? Try talking to an older relative, religious leader, or try an altogether different kind of therapy.

Get involved in a group doing something. Anything. Play or coach a sport. Volunteer at your local homeless shelter. Get involved at a local church and help with parking, food pantries. Bake cookies for your neighbors and just show up and say hi. Don't escape with drugs, sex, video games, etc... and don't kill yourself with self-judgment with the plethora of readily available self-help productivity porn on YouTube either.

Lastly, you aren't alone, many people suffer this way, myself included.

There are a lot of different groups online dealing with this problem. Personally I've found a lot of help from the likes of John Verveake's Meaning Crisis and Johnathan Pageau's Symbolic World. It has helped me greatly to be able to see things that are bigger than you and be involved in them. It helps a lot.
One could almost say that functional programming will always be the future of software.
Would you recommend it?
Unfortunately I have yet to meet a person who enjoyed the butterfly keyboard. Maybe I am too much surrounded by military people.
But an AI must “understand its reasoning” in order to revise it efficiently to learn from its mistakes. If revision is impossible, the only way to correct its reasoning is to re-train the system from scratch. But in doing that, you can only hope the problem is fixed, and worse, that new problems were not just created.
Iirc it bumped up the price of the MBP and was something I would definitely decline if it were an option. But it wasn't. So for me it was a ham handed excuse to get a few hundred more out of me.

Didn't hate it, but didn't care for it either. Happy it's gone.

I wouldn't be surprised if some huge percentage of Twitter "users" are people following random links that friends/groups link to them. They'll just as easily follow links to various other services.

I think traveling can teach you a lot about various ways of life, especially early on in life, but can also be viewed as eco irresponsible, especially if you're flying around just as a hobby.
Maybe consider doing something like English language or CS teaching in non-English country of your choosing and try embed yourself with the society there...
This is possible currently with zero knowledge proofs.

There are mainly two different types one is "selective disclosure", where the verifier require some fields but it is up to the Holder to select which one to disclose.

The other one allows the Holder to create proofs about claims, like "I am over 18" without disclosing the birthday. The cryptography for this seems sound, but to be honest it is hard to grasp.

For a working example you could have a look at this:

https://github.com/mattrglobal/jsonld-signatures-bbs

Note: Auth0 currently doesn't support neither issuing or verifying this type of credentials.
Thank you for explaining it like that. Some refer to these platforms as GACC(Government, AI, Corporate Controlled), but this could be abbreviated to simply government controlled.

These governments are not elected by the people and are primarily driven by profit. Inverted totalitarianism is when economics besets politics.
A friend of mine is a very talented and successful salesman. If he doesn't get some alcohol by 7 PM, his skin starts to crawl and he can barely keep it together. What do you call that?

The disease isn't defined by any outcome other than alcohol consumption and dependence.
Ask HN: How can techies influence companies to stop implementing SMS/phone 2FA
We are tired of the risk that SMS 2FA brings. Most of us have gotten smart enough to not use it but some companies (financial institutions especially) only have SMS based 2FA even in 2022.

Then, there are some shady ones that force you to enter a phone number even for non SMS/TOTP based (looking at you sendgrid)

People losing access to their phone is a scenario and puts users at significant risk of losing access to key accounts. I am not even talking about the security risk SMS 2FA brings which of course it does.

The worst part is that even now, companies are implementing it as a "updated security measure". Who are these people in the tech. departments making these decisions ? It is beyond ridiculous and why can't there be someone who understands that this needs to stop. I know most common people have no idea but there are plenty of us who know what a pain in the ass this is.

Is it time to try and force a legislation through Congress because I don't think these companies give a shit until forced to.
Now THIS makes no sense to me. In the Before days, I used to travel extensively for work, and would frequently bring my a7r along, and never once had any issues taking photos at a hotel across dozens of cities and a dozen countries.

(Not doubting it happened, just think that's a very weird line of rationale from them)
I believe 4 years active duty and 4 years in reserves.
One thing that can help you articulate that part of you wants to say yes because X and part of you wants to say no because Y and part of you wants to still say yes because Z.

Writing out things into a journal is good because you can write things that wouldn’t make sense to someone else and therefore you can see reality more clearly.
