If you think you are old, I'd say you are already default dead and all the sympathy and palliative experiences in the world aren't going to change that. If you want to live, live, and any invitation to a pity party over being "40" won't make it even to the bottom of my stack.

The idea of 40 as old is a ridiculous artifact of early to mid-20th century life expectancies and an economy based on manual labour. Given today you are socially useless until at least about 20, after which most of that decade is spent either in school or in journeyman roles, and then your 30s are spent either raising children or cultivating taste and other affectations on the hedonic treadmill - it's very unlikely you will make something someone else wants. 40 is where one is finally capable of the skill and insight necessary to make something new and provide honest value to others. You get another two decades of prime momentum with an understanding of how the cycles rhyme, until the wisdom makes you too distant from validating the anxieties of younger people, whose struggles don't register for you anymore. Then at 60, give or take, you get another couple or so decades to really appreciate it, ideally with grandchildren, but more likely small dogs and other emotional support animals these days, and then you decide what you want to leave behind. Worry about being 40 is giving up way too early.
Building and programming a 16-bit Intel x86 breadboard computer (2021)
Asking "what have you tried?" suggests that the answer to the question will lead to the answer to the problem.

But the person seeking help already knows what they have tried, and they don't have an answer.

So in the absolute best case, it's a useless question, you're just trying to get them to rubber duck it. In a less-than-great case, it'll be taken as a suggestion that they need your guidance in basic critical thinking and troubleshooting.

In my view, the very limited potential upside (successful Socratic rubber ducking) is not worth the significant potential downside (insulting them by suggesting they already have the answer, they're just not smart enough to see it).
> (where the mechanism only kicks in if JS is enabled & JS-less users just download all images at once)

This can fail and increase the bandwidth used if you only have a couple of images or have users on very fast connections.

I've seen it done by sending the image tag, and at the end of the document scanning the DOM for marked image tags and changing the URL specified to a low-quality copy (much smaller data size but looks a little like the image) or a small place-holder (perhaps even a data:url image) with the original getting put back when the image is visible (or about to be). The issue being that with a small number of images or a fast connected user the main large files start loading before the HREF attribute is updated and the transfer is not aborted when it is changed so the user always loads both the main and place-holder image. You can improve this plan a little by emitting the JS to alter each relevant image tag immediately after it, but that can cause multiple-reflow/-repaint issues.

> admittedly somewhat more complex to implement

Aye, and sometimes it is simply worth losing a few viewers to save a bit of faf. Though care should be taken with regard to collateral damage: as with all methods that exclude people who have chosen to have JS turned off this can easily exclude those with accessibility issues which is far less acceptable.

> where the mechanism only kicks in if JS is enabled

Of course there is now a commonly available method of doing lazy loading built-in so that is the best way to go, for those few with an ancient or otherwise alternative browser that doesn't support the feature yet the images just load immediately: https://caniuse.com/loading-lazy-attr. You can augment this is JS for those that have it turned on if you wish, perhaps on long documents implementing early-lazy loading (start the load when the user scrolls to within on display-window of content rather than when first visible) by removing the lazy attribute at an appropriate time detected using the same methods as you do for entirely manual lazy loading support, or using the replace-with-low-res-copy method in place of attribute based lazy-loading when JS is available.
E2E implies that the data itself gets encrypted by the sender and is only decrypted by the receiver. With https, the "pipe" is encrypted, but the data is not and the server will get the plain-text.
I read a study that specifically addressed this by looking separately at adopted kids. I'll try to look for it and post a link when I'm at my computer.
Nothing wrong with taking a caution first approach.

However to me most articles about FTX seem like "panic first, research after". Yes SBF's investment company might be fucked, but customers funds should be totally separate from that.

This is the way. UnifiedPush is sllooowly becoming more popular. Element (Matrix chat app) just added official support for it, which is super cool. And you can use ntfy as a distributor.
That's kind of what I meant. The inner workings of ai/ml are mysterious to us but we are familiar with the idea of a 'black box' that can do something like 'find a face in this photo' and we know inside the black box there's a tangled network of weighted connections. We don't imagine a cartesian theatre inside the black box. But maybe 50 years ago we might have? So perhaps we are getting better at reasoning how the mind might work. People used to use clockwork as a metaphor for the mind, when clockwork was all they knew. Now we have better metaphors.

I think much of car drivers' anger towards cyclists treating red lights as stop signs is not so much the safety aspect as a feeling of unfairness that they are stuck at the light while the cyclist checks the road and then bikes through.

I really hope there's some other reason besides drivers acting like babies over this.
Nothing beats the bandwidth of a truck full of drives on a highway. Shipping large quantities of data - we're talking about dozens of terabytes sometimes - via disk is still incredibly common.

The problem is: while ExFAT has alleviated a lot of issues on disk storage as a sort-of common enough format, there still is no cross-platform disk encryption standard. TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt is, but support is third-party and some companies refuse to use it on security grounds, so usually it's ZIP and sometimes RAR files with passwords.

Sigh.

My understanding is the same as kylebarron's[0] since you lack linking protections (which you would get under LGPL), so any work that includes cozo would be a "derived work" under the (A)GPL. Interestingly there doesn't seem to be an affero LGPL license[1], which could be what you might want here.

Otherwise, simplest solution provided you want a copyleft license would be to use the LGPL I think.

NOTE: not a lawyer.

The Maginot Line worked perfectly.

It denied the best line of attack to the enemy.

The mistake was relying on the terrain of the unfortified Ardennes to deny a line of attack through the Low Countries.

> In contrast to the author, I find software development at 50 to be an amazing experience. I am more patient and have the mental flexibility to learn things which were much harder for me 10-20 years ago.

I feel the same, but at 40 now.

During the pandemic, I left a position that I was in for almost a decade on a tech stack that I was using for almost a decade.

The first few months felt bewildering; yarn, NPM, Vite, React, Vue, Svelte, AWS, GCP, Azure, Functions, Containers, Docker, Kubernetes, on and on! But as I let go of any dogmatism, I quickly adapted to new tooling, new techniques, new languages, and new platforms. I went from building on-prem enterprise solutions deployed to VMWare to building cloud solutions in AWS, Azure, and GCP (yes, all of them) at various VC-backed startups (including a YC company).

I came out of the experience completely renewed with an incredible drive to just create software now.

Rather than seeing the complexity that the author sees in the current environment, I see options and there are definitely some options which, IMO, make it even easier and better than ever to be a developer [0]. If code is magic, we have more spells, ingredients, and tomes of magic at our disposal than ever. A hard part is navigating that landscape, but it has been so rewarding.

I've been writing prolifically over the last year as a side effect of that aggressive learning.

I feel more empowered now to create great software than I ever have.

U.S. Research Station in Antarctica Stopping Travel After Covid-19 Outbreak
Allow few notes: more than mere heating poor AND ex-lower end of the middle class dropped to poverty not much by "energy crisis" but by deliberate political choices suffer and will suffer for high prices of foods, energy to cook food, energy to travel. You can easily cover yourself a bit for cold, not comfy but works, washing is harder but again doable, the issue for many is simply the facts that food prices goes up and up and up + the price to cook them. There is not much "covers" for such costs.

Beside that there is a big issue: personally I invested in the so called "Green New Deal" ante litteram, witch means a new will insulated and airtight home, with a modern VMC, modern heat-pump heating/cooling, p.v. etc so IN THEORY I'm both between "the privileged" and "those unaffected by skyrocketing prices" and well... That's actually FALSE.

That's false because most of my gears have an operational life if anything works well measurable in around 10 years. Witch means that EVEN with this actual sky-high energy prices they do not really pay back in monetary terms. Or those who can't/have chosen not to invest get impoverished with "opex", those who have invested with "capex", consequences are different of course, in human terms, but equal in economical terms. And that's MUCH relevant because means a thing, given such infamous publications like: https://youtu.be/Hx3DhoLFO4s the Green New Deal do not really target ecology/energy savings etc but just try to assault Citizens welfare with the DECLARED target of making most owning nothing. Before going into royalist more royalist than the King mode as classically happen on HN or Reddit when anything sound critics about neoliberals agenda get dumped try thinking: are new gears/construction techniques etc energy savings, useful for ecology etc? Yes, FORMALLY. But if they are accessible just by a small minority, let's say 10% of the total WESTERN population and we know it very well is this transition really made for ecology? Or it's just made with ecology as an excuse to reach very different targets? Try to think HONESTLY and without prejudice about that. Try to imaging how can we arrive following actual path to 2030.

Using economy as a key we can make convenient new deals investments with hard-to-find and 3-4€/l gasoline/diesel, 1€/kWh for electricity etc. We are on this very path. Then? If only very few can invest anyway and due to hyper-inflation they are now even far more reduced. Where we go? We make poor simply disappear in a snap of a finger? Even admitting such GENOCIDAL ideas how a new society can be build without poor workers? An army of officers without troops do not work. An army where NCOs have been degraded to troops do not work either, they'll rightly try to seek revenge not cooperation.
Let's break this down. If you're FTX, you don't have ATMs. You have a digital teller system that is leveraged against your own liquidity. If you fail to go liquid, one of the first things you'll stop doing is liquidating other people's transactions. This is a problem, because it creates an adversarial relationship between the currency-holders and the exchange managing their funds.

Making matters worse, cryptocurrency is not a bank branch. Large transactions can happen on-chain without announcing anything to anyone, the bottleneck only hits once you try liquidating funds you don't own. Maybe you're right, and FTX has fallen on some bad times. Whatever the case may be, this is entirely their problem and one of many hundred issues that crop up when you create custodial crypto systems. I hope they continue to fail and remind everyone how P2P currency is meant to be distributed.

If you want to publish papers, you'll need to be a PhD or extremely good in the research division of a major company - e.g. Microsoft Research, but it'll be difficult to get there without the PhD and previous research to show (but possible).
I think that's a very good question. I'll give an anecdote from group therapy.

There was one member of my group who was having a difficult time motivating himself to make a particular change he wanted to make. I had long since learned the dangers of "advice giving", so really just asked why he felt it was so hard to make that change. He definitely had a lot of backstory that could explain his underlying fear.

However, this pattern went on for about 9 months (him complaining about not being able to make this change, the rest of the group offering support). Finally, at one point I said "Bob, I really care about you, but to be honest, you've been complaining about your situation for months now and you aren't actually doing anything to change it. I understand where your fear comes from, but if you're not going to even try to do something different, I don't really want to hear about it anymore."

The next week he came in having made the first step toward his goal. Point being I had a much bigger motivating impact on him once I let him know how he was affecting my feelings (of course, after we had a lot of time to build up trust) than if I had said "just do x, y, z".

Big fan.

Haven't bought any computers since 2012 tho. And it looks to me like I am stuck with what I have, as what PC makers peddle is not meant for me.

If I was forced to, say for business reasons, to buy a bunch or even just one for the coming years, then in 2022 it would be Apple. Because they have memory and computing and bus on the same chip, and you can only beat that with a cluster. They even have a product that is a miniaturized computing cluster for a quarter of the price of one.

Apple is the greatest shit shoveler in PC-making right now. I'd go with Apple.
Most are introduced to the interplay between physics and linear algebra through the study of the mass - spring system where the type (real or complex), sign and amount of the eigenvalues determine its behavior and stability. For example, complex eigenvalues with positive real part indicate an unstable, or chaotic, in terms of amplitude convergence oscillation.

It is fairly common for exchanges to have (short) pauses in withdrawals. The majority of funds are in a cold storage, and for security reasons it usually takes some time to get the funds out from there "live".

If lot of people are withdrawing at once, it would cause minor inconvenience to any exchange. They have to transfer funds from cold storage, and that takes time. It is almost impossible to determine if an exchange is solvent or not until you know their cold storage addresses.
These things may seem farfetched, but happen very often in certain parts of the world.

Here very recently the Federal Road Administration was caught stopping buses in regions where the left leaning presidential candidate had the strongest support. We also had a few tens of cases where business owners were discussing strategies on how to get their employees to vote for the right-wing candidate, and some strategies depended on breaking the law by taking you smartphone to the voting booths and taking a picture (breaking the law in the process).

I think there's a misunderstanding in what I'm saying, or perhaps people aren't understanding that listening is actually quite a skill to practice and is really quite draining. It isn't free to ask people to listen to you, there is a cost associated with it.

Asking people to listen but then they can't input is something I find incredibly arrogant, egotistical, selfish, basically it's a terrible human trait and I'm surprised there are so many apologists in this thread that defend this kind of behaviour.

Again, I'm not talking about off the cuff "how was your day" "oh my angina is playing up again" "WELL THEN YOU SHOULD DO THIS AND THAT" kinds of conversations... I think that is obvious.

I mean the 30 minute ones where someone is sounding off to you about their problems. Yeah, I am going to give you "advice" (as in, this is a problem lets figure out how to solve it). I'm genuinely surprised this is seen as A Bad Thing. Especially given our community is one of hackers and yanno, people who get hired to solve problems...
"because as a driver you cannot rely on unlicensed people knowing the rules."

Is this FTX changing their patterns for which accounts they use for withdrawals, and then this being interpreted as withdrawals being halted?
Memory leaks have always meant "failing to free memory that is no longer needed".

Garbage collection literature often stresses the difference between "no longer needed" and "not reachable", noting that the former is not automatically enforceable (it amounts to solving the halting problem), but the latter is only a heuristic. So, the fact that garbage collectors can't prevent all memory leaks is always stressed by the literature.
Spatial audio cues in videogames work just fine for me with headphones!

When I play Valorant and am trying to be sneaky, I will tune out whatever my teammates are saying to listen for footsteps, or other audio cues that might indicate some activity. Using my mouse to rotate my view changes how the sounds come in to my headphones, and allows for some amount of directional awareness.

We need to have a system where all the code is open source and available for download. All the code, from the registration servers to the voting machines to the tallying servers. Everything made available along with the SHA256 checksums. The public should be able to clone repositories of all the software, run the checksums on their own hardware, and examine software checksums on every piece of voting equipment they have access to. Checksums for each piece of hardware used by the government should be made public.

Digital representations of votes need to be in text, and they need to exactly match a printed receipt given to the voter at the moment they vote. The data would include a digital signature, some hash of the vote values, the precinct, the datetime, and a salt, and would be anonymized. The data should go into Git repositories. You wouldn't put an entire state's data into a single repository, you'd have separate repos for e.g. the district or even precinct level. Git repositories would be initiated before voting begins, and updates could come in via network or via physical storage transported with the same security as ballot boxes.

[Before all the Git haters descend to say that the public will never be able to use Git for themselves, I agree with you that that would never work. Nobody would be using Git directly, the software would use Git under the hood to manage the vote data.]

Once the repositories of vote data are conveyed to the district level, the public should be able to browse all the votes, and each person should be able to enter the digital signature from their paper receipt (via typing, or QRCode, semacode, barcode, or whatever) and find their vote. If they want and if they are organized enough, they should be able to confirm that the votes of whole communities are in fact all in the system. The public should be able to download the vote tallying software along with as much of the vote data as they want, and run the counts on their own hardware.

If the data is in Git repositories, every single vote will have a digital signature. Every modification of the data that is committed would have a signature, and would have its own signature. Every piece of data, every modification, and every bit of the history would be perfectly transmissible, and if it's not perfect it will become immediately apparent.
