My mom had a psychotic break a few years back. My whole family let it go on for weeks, with the attitude “she’s an adult” etc.

As you reference in your threat about your kids, I knew the consequences of going against her will.

However, when I was finally able to visit home I realized she has lost weight and was a danger to herself, even trying to “take a walk” at 2am on a cold winter night.

I lied to her, convinced her to get in the car and drove her to a mental facility where she received treatment and has recovered mostly.

To this day she resents me and doesn’t fully trust me.

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems in my family I’m the only person willing to trash our relationship to keep her safe.

This could have been avoided if she was self reflective and open to feedback, but her ego cannot take it, she’s simply too fragile.
Could you provide more details about IN-BERLIN ? I've took a look at the website, it's confusing, and they ask registration via post/fax, explicitly saying they do not accept e-mail. Which form have you used? (probably my issue is with DE translation).

Is there any other sponsoring LIR recommended? Thank you.
I know CSS and have been using it for over two decades. I found that using Tailwind was like having a mental burden taken from me. I don't care about exact pixel values, most of the time, I just want a consistent UI with "some level of spacing". I don't want to do strange niche stuff 99% of the time. Tailwind's strength is the constraints and defaults it provides you.

The "entire premise of the fediverse," to the degree that such a thing exists, is the right of instance owners to choose with whom they federate and not. Blacklisting Gab is the fediverse working as intended.

However, Gab and the like are still there, and you're free to run your own instance and federate with them if you want. Maybe not Gab, last I heard they forked Mastodon and ripped out their federation code.

You correctly classified 22 of 30 (73%) images!

I have had to do it where all of the member methods are private (or otherwise inaccessible to me) and toString() is the only useful way to get information out of the object.
I think the AI need to be specifically trained to write. SD for example isn't although it tries its best.
Good test would document its hypothesis, procedures, results, etc - and let the reader make their own decisions on its merits and their experience. 100% agree cherry picking is part of the process of generating AI content, though there’s no standard for evaluating the effectiveness of a system, creator, or audience at cherry picking good from bad generations. By pushing as much of the cherry picking to the audience, in my opinion it’s currently the best way to reduce assumptions and get better sense of what current state of the art is. As I mentioned before though, not sure what the answer is, just know it’s an issue, especially in this context in my opinion.

She never claims to be a 1) Photojournalist or 2) Reporter.

She clearly articulates herself as an artist and appears to enter many fine art photography competitions, never attempting to pass her work as unmanipulated to her peers. Photo manipulation and composites is extremely common in fine art photography (as well as many other photography fields, ie. landscape), and the act is never questioned when the work is hanging in a gallery.

The narrative is part of the art. An artist does not have to put a disclaimer on their own website saying their work is not manipulated, they can also tell whatever STORY they want next to it. If anything how convincing her narrative and photos are speaks volumes to her ability as an artist.

Do not claim that collages or manipulations are not 'photographs' or that she didn't 'taken them'. She took every photo used, that act alone makes her a photographer. What constitutes a photograph can not be distilled to 'this photograph was manipulated so it is not a photograph'.

Take some of this anger and direct it at publications that stole her photos and published them as something they were not with no input from the artist. It is the medias job to research what they publish, it is not an artist's job to to dictate how someone interprets their art.

I’m similar, 12 years in one job, after a career of W2 contracts and 2-3 year startup positions.

I have never been a lifer. I worked as a contractor for a decade so constant change and learning. The last couple years I ran a solo operation which covered my living costs but ultimately was really brutal during the last year. I secured a perm job for the first time in a decade and used it as a way to move back to the UK from a cheaper country. I also have a nice setup similar to yours, pays well, good people on the team, mostly wfh but can go to a nice office in London. Plan is to ride it out and get finances back to normal and use it as a way to secure a mortgage and house. Now I realise most the 'lifers' are probably just middle aged men paying off their mortgages.

Agreed, is this at a competition or something? The article makes it sound like the photographer won a prize with doctored photos, but if it's just someone posting a composite and everyone going crazy with "omg that's not a photo", that's very very different.
I'd argue that not reading, but doing/implementing/experimenting with things made me a better problem solver. If you "just" read on a topic you will maybe learn to recite what you know, but you will not yet be able to differentiate between different solutions or give reason why a solution is good or not. Of course reading or attending a class is a very good starting point, but it's not the way i learned thinking or solving problems.

Right, but I'm hoping it might be possible to prove that the limit exists (even if it's an uncomputable number), as opposed to some oscillating behaviour where the density infinitely often goes up to 70% and then back down to 30% for example.
> The web certainly didn’t live up to its early potential

Oh, but it could have been far, far worse. We almost lost the web to Adobe/Macromedia/Flash. And then almost again to activeX.

At least we still have the open, accessible, extensible web standards. Only that the top-layer: the applications and sites built have been embraced by a few monopolies.

I'm rooting for WASM (because of my dislike for JS) but I'm also cautious for one of the FAANG taking wasm and re-trying the old flash/activeX trick again, but now with a "only runs on android" or "requires azure certification" angle via WASM.
Hacking on Java frameworks is mostly a pain. Both from IDE tooling (too much RAM, configuration fighting,...) to the documentation. Basically it made simple problems harder for just "JAVA" reason.

For comparison, i've spent many months to hack on Java framework in a company before to deliver a hackable feature.

By the same time, i also released 3 production applications from scratch with Rails.

The issue is not Java is impossible to have such productivity, it's the mindset, the culture issues from Enterprisey people.

There was a time when I got used to eating a big plate of fries with my normal lunch (the student canteen at the university where I studied was just phenomenal), and after a couple of months, I had put on considerable weight. The problem was, I was thin my whole life, and I just couldn't imagine being overweight, so I didn't ever get on a scale, and had no idea how much I had put on. It was my mother telling me "my son, you've become properly fat" that made me realize that something significant had changed. The scale was now showing 90 kg, closer to 100 than my to my normal weight. After a couple of months of eating properly and running, everything was back to normal, but that was a stark reminder of how anyone can become obese given the right (or rather wrong) conditions.
Ask HN: How to Learn C in 2022?

Things change. Companies get bought. Management changes. I’ve learned never to get comfortable.

That being said, I don’t see myself leaving my current company as long as the pay/shit factor ratio starts really going down.

But I still keep my resume and career document up to date, my fixed expenses down and stay interview ready.
You can setup a private association, that is your right. A company in this context is a business that offers goods and services to the public at large. Your ability to operate such a business is preconditioned on many factors, some small like the commerce association doesn't like it or big like you are selling poison,scamming or refusing to serve people based on protected class. You do not have the right to offer arbitrary goods and services in exchange for money but the privilege is granted if the government and commerce association grant it.

This is also why in under any context companies cannot be people because their very existence is a privilege granted by society and it is exactly why they want to be treated like a person -- so they can enjoy rights.

The old trap of tech debt. Basically... back when these tooling projects started, stuff like casting stuff around all the time, using un-optimized tree algorithms, inefficient value objects or whatever didn't matter - because the projects that were built using them were so small the inefficiencies didn't matter. And once the projects got bigger, inefficiencies weren't really looked at for three reasons: the obvious "if the source gets larger, the build time goes up as well", because people simply got more powerful hardware - and finally:

Because most JS developers simply aren't your old guard neckbeard coders with decades of experience under their belt. They're fresh coding academy graduates that don't teach stuff like flame graphs or performance tracing in general, and simply are used to stuff taking a lot of time. And fwiw, knowledge of optimization techniques isn't really widespread even in senior developers. Modern computers are simply "fast enough" for many people (and especially corporate beancounters) to not care.

Curl runs on at least 89 operating systems[0]. Apparently 88 of them are then better at "being Linux" than Windows.

Honesty this just seems that we’ve lost a lot of operating systems except for POSIX and NT. Imagine a libcurl for a SmallTalk machine… or a custom RTOS without any POSIX comapt layer; I’d bet Windows will seem easy compared to one.

In fact, maybe the fact that a Windows port of libcurl can exist at all means that the Windows BSD socket implementation is useful enough to allow these sort of things.
The other cool thing is that you can code up your design system in the tailwind config and never have to worry about devs not using the correct sizes/colours/etc.

> more difficult to maintain, probably less congruent with the problem space.

This is not true as blanket statement. It may. But with "a framework" you are bound by the architecture, upgrades, use-cases and so on that this framework covers. And limited by the ones it doesn't.

In practice, choosing a framework on day one of the project, means you cement yourself in architectural choices when you still lack all information about what architectures will be needed. You don't know your problem space.

All you know, for certain, is that his problem space will turn out different than what you thought it would be today. Flexibility to move along as this evolges is critical to "maintainability".

In practice, therefore, you'll quite likely end up with a framework that is severely harming your ability to write maintainable and congruent code over time.
I disagree even with personal liability because you are offering goods and services to the public. Not only is what you sell/offer regulated (drug dealers are not really business owners) your ability to refuse service or employment based on protected classes is regulated. Just like driving a car is regulated on public roads, owning a public business is regulated and as such privileged.
Oh I totally agree. It's also my gripe with using Unix tools in general and chaining together tools in bash with pipes.

Perfect is the enemy of good though, and probably 90% of my code is done properly, and I cut corners where I think it's appropriate - sometimes thats ok, and sometimes in hindsight it's not.

Better food, yes. But also LESS food. I know it’s controversial to say so, but getting fat is a result of _eating too much!_. Yes, calorie dense food sure speeds up the process, but at the end of the day it’s a deficit between calories in, and calories burnt.

Ha -- when was that written?... Let's see, the original form of the statement showed up in 2012: "Some patterns require a very large number (scores, even hundreds) of glider collisions..."

At that time Andrew Wade had already created the self-constructing Gemini spaceship, which needed 173449 gliders to build ( https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Glider_synthesis#Spaceship_synth... ). The recipe could have been reworked to be a little cheaper, but nobody bothered at the time -- and now it can be done in fifteen gliders instead.

If you want to see the construction happening, I'd definitely recommend the old Gemini recipe over an RCT-based one, though! RCT cuts down the cost in gliders to a minimum, but at a terrible cost in the time you have to wait around to see the completed object.
There are various guarantees and payment codes of conduct that UK banks have signed up to. The intent of these is to give some protection if you've made a payment to a scammer.

What I presume is happening is that some banks are seeing a significant increase in applications for that protection from crypto transactions. Or are expecting to see such.

It doesn't apply when you withdraw cash as you have no recourse to protection from the bank if you subsequently lose that money. And you might be restricted from using you card at a casino if your bank has seen significant claims from said casino.

One can, of course, argue whether or not such protections should exist. As in, run the retail banking system on a caveat emptor basis. But that's not how it works in the UK and, whilst it doesn't, it's not unreasonable for the bank's to limit their liability.
Good luck with the mirtazapine taper, and I mean that with all sincerity. I recently finished mine, and it’s been fascinating to watch the weight drop along with it.

I've worked at a place that literally got to that state: the offices power was cut off by the electricity company.

Having read that book, I can agree with this a lot.

The book is amazing at teaching you to solve problems, as it helps you analyze and understand the behavior of others.

It teaches you both what to do and what not to do in any given situation, but it also teaches you how to spot those who play the game of power as well.

It's a tool that not only helps you obtaining/maintaining power, but also how to take away power from others.

The principles in the book can mostly be applied to other things as well.
Thank you for sharing. I often have the feeling that something that, to me, seems like a complex of issues around emotional regulation, impulse control, sensation seeking, etc is seen by most people as something much simpler.

"It's simple math, calories consumed versus calories burned", and the solutions are correspondingly simplistic. Eat less, work out more, or both.

To me, it's like saying that poverty can be solved by people either working more or spending less. Well, perhaps, but it's not the core of the issue.

The widespread lack of empathy for people in the high BMI ranges freaks me out. The absolute majority of people WANTS to be healthy, happy and safe.
