The "load more"- semishadowban group has now now been totally liberated and messages appear immediately. Previously it took a minute before messages appeared to the end of the list and were readable only after several "load more"-messages.

Such account is ofcourse totally unusable, and you are thus prompted to make a new one. I remembered one such blocked account (created 2013) and found it now totally good.

I also remembered why this account was banned, I used forbidden word of the day, which was "TommyRobinson" in Europe 2018.
> But no matter which end I try to start from, I can't seem to escape the sheer meaninglessness of it all.

First of all, you are right. There isn't an once of "meaning" to anything. So don't feel "flawed" for seeing the naked truth as it is, while surrounded by a bunch of us delusionals thinking there is some sort of "meaning" to our lives. The meaning is what we put in ourselves. It's a product of our minds. Sso there is nothing to escape from.

Now, what next then?

Writting this whole post shows effort and concern. You seem concerned about your situation. This is good, this is a driving force. Use it. You are an organism, a system, that for some reason function out of the "norm". Study this system scientifically and figure out why that it. Not necesserily for the purpose of getting better. But for the shake of knowledge, for the shake of understanding yourself and putting your mind at ease.

> Making friends/maintaining close relationships doesn't come naturally to me, and the more effort I put into it, the more detached and dishonest I feel.

No reason to feel dishonest. Be straight upfront, state your selfish reasons for interacting with others and i bet you will find people who will love to hang out with you and help you, because you know why? They also need what you need, they just don't see it as clearly as you do. You know you need to interact with them to get better, they just do it instictively without knowing. As before, you've just seen the naked truth, unlike the rest.
well I would suppose it meant that if you close your eyes so that the room is empty you have a misconception as to the state of reality, there is not actually a connection to the room being empty and your eyes being closed it just seems like there is to you.

thus there is not actually a connection between the neural net being randomly wired and it not having any preconceptions as to how to play, it just seems like that to Sussman.

I have never found these zen koan things very interesting though. Also I think there is much more likely a connection between a neural net being randomly wired and not having preconceptions than closing of eyes emptying out rooms.

That is already far above most people, so I think I agree :)

Ancient superpredator got big by front-loading its growth in its youth
Whatcheeria, a six-foot-long salamander-like creature that lived 340 million years ago, was the T. rex of its time: the biggest, baddest predator in its habitat. A new study reveals how they grew to their 'giant' size: instead of growing slow and steady throughout their lives like many modern reptiles and amphibians, they did most of their growing when they were young.
I'm a big fan of value objects. In Ruby, many of my projects have a simple baseclass, ValueObject, that is only a little simpler than Data.

I love it that I can now use it from the language instead. It saves me just one class. At most five methods.

But it saves me having to explain and defend this for colleagues who insist that an email is Just A String, or a price being a float (i know) has worked Just Fine. I can now point them at stdclass documentation. And it being part of std weighs far more than the opinion of that contractor that keeps on nagging about design patterns and crap.
So instead of having a residential building with Airbnbs inside you'll now have a hotel. How does that solve the issue?

If there's X number of people who need an overnight stay in the city and you want to accommodate them - what difference it makes if they stay in residential studios or hotel rooms?
For those still on 28, `crux-rename-file-and-buffer` does the same thing (https://github.com/bbatsov/crux). I've been using it for half a decade at this point.

After the tax bracket bump its not entirely as amazing as it sounds... there are still a few places in SV and NY that hand out remote salaries on the high end, if you keep looking.

There are also roles where you just get paid way more than other roles without a need for particularly difficult expertise. People who manage very 'important' stuff for example.

Aside from photos/crypto keys, all the other ones are easily replaceable within 2 weeks, at least in my not-the-US country. Source code would be only for any personal projects, as companies usually don’t let you backup their code.

And none of these make sense to have on your wrist 24/7.

There are modules, but they aren't real namespaces.
It's too long to paste as a comment here, but I started by finding every entry with a URL and deleting the URL (leaving it blank) for basically any domain that wasn't mozilla.tld (careful here though) and then I used the recommended changes from arkenfox, ghacks, the TOR browser and https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making... and then tweak from there.

I disable things like service workers, normandy, shield, pocket, the new tab page, WebRTC, searching from the address bar, prefetch, WebGL, push notifications, WebAssembly, and lots of dom. options

You can backup your user.js but updates tend to add/rename/remove preferences so that gets ugly fast. I've also seen firefox reset prefs I've set but didn't lock. I've been meaning to automate monitoring the file for changes and notifying me for lines that were added or modified, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
The state/city could nationalize cars from car rental companies easily and and provide cheap or free cars to those who want it

An ambitious project and a good start.

But there is so much left. The credit-card roller cachunk-cachunk when the carbon was pressed into the card at every cash register station. The sound of a floppy spinning up. The ding of an old-fashioned gas pump.

The whine of a tube TV flyback transformer!

If smell can conjure up long-forgotten images and experiences, what of sound? It has to be a close second.
This is the first I've encountered these pictures. I don't know anything about snow leopards but I've got tens of thousands of hours clocked in photoshop. Zooming way in on that supposed lock of hair could easily be a rumpled leather of a backpack or some other type of case. Even if it was altered, it could have been a distracting, unimportant element removed, like a colorful water bottle or something, without making it fake. The accusations are so forcefully presented that it seems like the author is trying to bluster their way through self doubt more than convince others.
Took me a long time but I think it means sticking with the same job for life.

This is something I still cannot understand, in the sense that usually the procedure is the following, at least with my bank (that uses SMS OTP):

On the website:

1. you input a user ID

2. you input a password or PIN

3. you press a button that sends a SMS with an OTP code to the registered cellular number

4. you input this OTP code on the site

Even if someone can intercept the SMS, they wouldn't (shouldn't) have ID and PIN.
While I appreciate your comparison pages for highlighting the strengths of wasmer, they really do avoid talking about any of the metrics where wasmer isnt top performer. IMHO this doesnt really give me the information I need to make a decision.

For example, the wasmedge website claims it is the fastest runtime but I notice that your comparison page doesnt mention runtime performance at all. It would be nice to know how much slower is wasmer in that respect.

I feel that if wasmer covered things like this in the comparisons, and was highlighting that its only X% slower (even though thats a negative) I could balance the positives accordingly when making a decision about which runtime to choose.

There doesnt seem to be anywhere that provides an unbiased comparison. Maybe wasmer could lead the charge in that respect?
Nothing really works as a carbon sink in the long term.

Bear in mind that cows do not actually generate carbon - as with humans, they just move it around.
I was referring to my own interests - as the one who would be losing his privacy - not the consequences for society. I made that very clear in the first sentence of my OG comment. There are no advantages to me losing my privacy. That is, me specifically. Not individuals in general. Me. As I was saying from the start.

The discussion you seemingly want to have you can have plenty of times elsewhere in the thread, so why instead ignore everything I said and pivot the conversation to the one thing I said multiple times now wasn't what I was talking about?

It is perfectly valid and I appreciate that you want to talk about the bigger picture of this change, and how it affects different aspects of society. That conversation should go along with conversations about individual experiences and expectations and interests, not happen in their stead.
Because they consider themselves tolerant, but with an escape clause, and fail to admit that this clause makes them intolerant too.
Seems like a bit of a solution waiting for a problem.

Given the current limitations in the system I would go with a monster battler game with a starter set of just 2 cards which would be yours and your opponents monster and then add a selection of power-ups/abilities these could be much cheaper components that could be played on the base station for an effect. These could be swipe cards or even just resistors basically anything that can be measured by the base station. With this hybrid system you could get the cool evolving over time monsters as well as lots of pieces to play with. Lots of scope for cool and hidden interactions. (Ideas taken from digimon tamers)
> Who is the "we" that "establishes" things, and decides what information constitutes "evidence" and what does not?

LMAO.

We are HNers participating in a discussion, in which you appear to be taking issue with the point I made that Epstein offers no reason to update our priors on conspiracy theorists knowing things the mainstream media doesn't because Epstein was unmasked by lawyers, police and mainstream media, not conspiracy theorists. (And mainstream media did not, as far as I'm aware, rush to insist he couldn't possibly have done such awful things)

I presume if you felt evidence to the contrary existed - that people who were onto Epstein were pooh-poohed as conspiracy theorists until the truth came out - you'd have offered me that as a counter argument rather than a list of links about heuristics and cognitive biases. (If actually do have the evidence, I apologise for the excessively charitable assumption about your understanding of how to engage in truthful, good-faith discussion and look forward to seeing it)

> ...it'd be a lot more interesting to engage with earnest arguments that Epstein was framed, or that there's new evidence Epstein was involved with controlled demolitions people were talking about before he was involved in cheese pizza[1], than "that's just your opinion, man" in nerdsnipe form...

> My intuition is that you are representing that conspiracy theorists (or perhaps even me) believes such things, or has made such claims, but I'd prefer if you explain yourself rather than me making speculative accusations.

We're in a subthread about whether we should be updating our priors on conspiracy theories in general based on revelations about Epstein. I'm thinking an honest attempt to demonstrate alignment between Epstein revelations and popular conspiracy theories (that wasn't after, and derivative of mainstream reporting on Epstein) might be an more interesting counterargument than a list of articles about cognitive biases. In the absence of such evidence, I don't really see Epstein offering any reason for anyone to update any priors they have on popular conspiracy theories.

Cute that someone that responds with a series of Wikipedia links is demanding explicit statements in response and lecturing me on truthful, good faith discussions though.
As a consumer, I've received parcels from smaller businesses that have been wrapped in probably 6th hand cardboard, by the look of it.

The 15 is strangely familiar.

Hypothesis: if the interaction of any pair of oscillators can theoretically be represented by a single oscillator, this could also be possible with 4 and 6 (larger) gliders, simply because (4 over 2) = 6, (6 over 2) = 15.

The above may only hold in a continuous-valued GoL, or it may not hold at all.
I prayed at a party while sleeping on a friend's sofa in the 80s and said, "if you are out there Jesus, will you come into my life?" This was the beginning of a new life for me.

My understanding of life has been shaped over the decades by biblical teaching and personal encounters with the Holy Spirit.

Rather than hoping that life is good to me, I try to do good. I also have an eternal view on my actions. What the bible would refer to as storing up treasures in heaven.

I think I would feel lost like yourself if I was trying to understand life from inside my own head. I lean on the the wisdom of the bible and fellowship of other christians.

I would recommend you connect with a local church. Church websites give a good indication of what's going on on in your local church.

Good luck on your journey.
As someone who deals (in the VFX industry) in CG rendering/lighting and compositing/rotopainting footage on a daily basis, I'm really not convinced by these arguments at all.

Certainly the hair "lock" to me looks a lot more like a strap of a bag tied up or something than hair.

Also packed snow shapes can change quite significantly in days if there's wind and or significant snowfall: obviously the mountain rock topology won't change, but in most of the cases in the article the lettered points (to me at least) appear to be packed snow mounds more than snow on rocks (although the backdrop one looks more rock-based).

Edit: I would say however that I would agree "what is a snow leopard doing that high in the snowline?: there's unlikely to be prey there".
> I suspect that a lot of people would be happy to be a "lifer" in the right situation. (Good company, good work, good colleagues, good respect, good TC.)

Exactly. I think I could be a lifer in the right circumstances, but I'm not and probably never will be. I think I could have been a lifer at my second job; it was in many ways a great place, but eventually I realised I didn't like the content of my work much, I was constantly doing the exact same thing for a new customer, and all the interesting stuff was being done by new hires. It was time to leave.

48 now, and I'm currently at a project where I think I might stick around for a while, but it's undoubtedly going to end some day, and then I'll find something else again.
I’d love to be a lifer. But also terrified of the idea, because I get comfortable very easily, and I’m afraid of ageism. Moving jobs is generally a catalyst for me to upskill and stay on top of tech trends.

I'm also somewhat biased due to personal experience - everyone I've worked with that has only worked at one company tend to have overly narrow skill sets, and know only one way of doing things.

Show HN: Preline UI Figma – largest free design system for Figma
I'm ... notafan.

Case in point, there've been a few Octavia Butler pieces out recently. The one that hit HN was from Vulture, and is ... a pretty conventionally-formatted article:

<https://www.vulture.com/article/octavia-e-butler-profile.htm...>

(HN discussion: <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33747547>)

I'd also run across an article at the NYT and ... it's utterly unreadable.

<https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/17/arts/octavia-...>

I hadn't actually tried reading it on a desktop until just now, but yeah, it fails there too. And yes, I have things locked down, but I can't even be bothered to try to sort out what I'd need to tweak to get it to work.

It's not just the JS and jazz, but on my principle reading device, an e-ink tablet, the visuals literally get in the way of the text. I've got 16 shades of grey to work with, really high resolution, and a piss-poor refresh rate. (NYT's obsession with animations is also rapidly getting very tiresome.)

Fortunately, my preferred browser on e-ink, EInkBro, has a reader mode. So I invoked that and dropped all the UX gunk and ... frankly, the Vulture's story is simply better written and far more rewarding to read.

"Set Adrift" actually has ... fairly reasonable writing. So it's not the hard fail the Butler piece was. But UI/UX does get in the way.

There's any number of other points on which the Times simply falls down by innovating too hard. Their tables aren't tabular, their data visualisations don't visualise, or provide data. Their long-forms aren't readable.

And using the tools for long-term archival --- Pocket, print-to-PDF, print-to-ePub (a feature of EInkBro), Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, etc. --- the Times's formatting again gets in the way of being able to capture a useful snapshot or rendering of the article.

It's actually quite disappointing.

And whilst HN's guidelines are to not discuss UI/UX, that's very clearly key to the Times's presentation here, so I'm declaring it on-topic so far as I'm concerned.
People will convert a float to an integer by using parseInt. That function automatically converts its argument to a string, then parses it as an int, ignoring anything after the decimal point.

Completely fails for a number big enough to be stringified to 1.34e20.

Plot twist, if your number is in a reasonable range this is very fast because there was one a popularJS benchmark that did this.
You should federate it! (ActivityPub support)
Yes, but like most of these "provisions" it assumes that the device is working to be able to set/enter that "maintenance mode", so it is really a "maintenance mode" as opposed to a "repair mode".

If you have a broken (black) screen or touch not working or if the device doesn't boot properly it is useless.

One thing you can do is use ligatures so that specfic combinations of letters look different. It won't be random, but at least there'll be variation.

E.g. 'A' followed by 'n' could have one ligature that looks like "An", and 'A' followed by 't' could have another ligature that looks like "At" where the A part is different (and the 't' too, of course).

Edit: here's an article about the concept: https://terrianncreative.com/using-ligatures-to-enhance-hand...
You forget that this cuts both ways. Men, too, no longer need a wife. No need to cook. No need to mend clothes. No need for heirs. So little patience for compromise. And focus on superficialities and short term benefits rather than team building.

I applaud that you made a thing, and it's cool that you learned Rust, wrote a driver, did CAD, 3D printed... the works! It's far more than I can do.

But let's say all trading cards in the world were like the e-ink ones you invented, and then somebody came along and said, "I printed 52 trading cards on glossy card paper, in vibrant color. They are 1 millimeter thick, weigh practically nothing, and cost about a penny each to produce. The drawback is you have to shuffle them in your hands".

The paper version would be a massive upgrade in almost every sense.
I wish you good luck with your services. However, "where I get people unstuck with 3 questions in 15 minutes" sounds brutally fishy. Psychologists struggle with this for decades, and it is evidence based work they do. ;)
Fair enough. I guess if the company is not publicly listed there's not much reason to have ownership public. Don't really know though.
Wasn't the CO2 in the cardboard once in the atmosphere and absorbed by the tree when it was alive? So the net CO2 is the same, in the same carbon cycle.

Probably the same with methane: enters the atmosphere, gets decomposed in H2O and other stuff that go back to Earth and are still part of the same cycle.
2 years ago I ticked all those boxes and thought kind of like you did. Then a bunch of things changed very quickly at work, and then I got contacted by a former colleague with a job offer, and then I ended up at a new job.
How is the traffic and commute time in such cities? I ask as an European who can't fanthom an idea of a large city where most people live in detached houses (and not in apartments or even townhouses) - the city must take up enormous space. Do people commute 30 miles each way to work?
I get that completely, but in a holistic sense it's bigger than that and I feel what I wrote was true as well. I don't think we can afford to enjoy the minor positives created by predominantly bad things whilst ignoring the negative externalities for much longer, as a race.
The photographer literally posted on instagram saying they had to say something because they were receiving death threats...
