I got so burnt out from doing morning pages I haven’t been able to journal significantly in months. I agree it is incredibly effective, but it took me at least an hour to fill up my three A5 pages, it became hard to make the time in the mornings. Ideally, it wouldn’t take this long. Cameron’s suggestion is when there is a pause in the writing to start writing a mantra, over and over, until more words come, but that’s easier said than done in my experience.

3 pages is not a good control. How big are the pages? How small is your handwriting? I read the Artist’s Way and nowhere did she specify how large the paper should be.

In my experience the deeper insights came on the second page about 30 minutes in, after depleting my brain of its ruminations and searching for more thoughts to fill up the page.
Perhaps more generously, to Firefox, they’re interpreting Firefox user strings as an app sending data to them. For curiosity, where did you pull that data from?
Would love to know more. What project was it? Did you contribute wanting a job or was interested any way? Did you get a job through this strategy?
I’ve very often heard cancel culture used to refer to “cancelling” of companies so I’m not sure I agree with that statement.

Also the line can be blurry with celebrities since they will engage in business deals.
Fill the gap with something technical. Start a company, work on a tech related side project, etc.
You are building a plethora of straw man arguments here. No one other than you has said anything about hate or any other such nonsense.
use the same words and logics as everyone / some mainstream show like SNL ? Or force yourself to use completely different words every time ? Be open minded ? Comment under different posts to hide your interests ?

Use short sentences ?
Use newspeak ?
Copy the features of other users ?

I also talk to ppl from various backgrounds. I could prove you why you need to vote for any candidate, thanks to the logics of coworkers.
I used to copy the style of MS documentations to refactor code, so that juniors could get started right away.
Before that, I used to learn English. My patterns and word usage where just a medley of recently viewed content.

I'm sure it can be achieved.

You just need to read enough, or be exposed to so much content than you can choose your patterns.
I have a few in the low 0.5's and, honestly, they seem cool and I want to meet them.
Yes, but derisively referring any interaction with another human at work as “office politics” is the problem.
Some of the other stuff looks intriguing, but regarding the claim that "Unlike SQL, our Mangle rule projects_with_vulnerable_log4j has a name and can be referenced in other queries." goes, SQL in a VIEW or common table expression (CTE) can also be referenced in other queries.
It's not illegal, but it does disqualify you from getting a federal government business contract. I think this is more of a gray area than advocates would like to make you believe.

Whatever you might feel about Israel, you can't deny the fact that they are a strategically valuable geopolitical ally, and it's not unreasonable for the federal government to avoid doing businesses with companies that are actively and publicly boycotting a strategic ally. What if it was Taiwan instead?
If it's not announced, if your intentions are not known, is it a boycott? I'd say no, because you're not boycotting Store A if you're shopping at Store B for some reason other than your hate of Store A for store-unrelated reasons (e.g. the political stance of the store owner, or the color of their skin).
I am not from a country that uses juries, but your hypothetical situation probably happens daily already. You need only look at the statistics to see that being black (or to a lesser degree: being a man) significantly increases the odds of a guilty verdict in the USA. To stick to your drugs example, your white kid is more likely to have cocaine, and the black one crack. And one of these drugs has much more severe sentencing guidelines than the other...

Wait, you're posting AI-generated spam under 40 different accounts? That sounds very unethical.
If you're only using the account for one comment why do you care if it gets locked?
I do not care for their promo graphics of 10kwh sitting exposed alongside the exterior wall. Were I in a position to be constructing a battery backup, it is going to get its own dedicated concrete shed, separated as far as possible from the house.

Be aware that it's almost impossible to defeat it, and act accordingly. More exactly, if you think that a tech-capable state actor is coming after you then you should be outside the reach of where said state actor holds its monopoly of power. Real text-anonymity is gone for good.
Yes because if you look at it objectively those people tend to be lying, manipulative people with big fake smiles on their faces.

People are so accustomed to our messed up society that they don't even realize how amoral "normal" behavior is.
I’ve lost all respect for ACLU. In 2014 they were warning against forced vaccinations, and then during Covid they changed their mind and were all for firing public and private employees if they refused the jab. They’re just an extension of the left’s ideology at this point.
Sorry about your friend. My wife also had a friend in the same boat. Made it to 59 and heart attack. Statistically they are outliers, though. For every one of those cases there are probably 10 that make it long past a normal retirement age and 2 that make it beyond 90 years or so. Given the choice, I’d rather be prepared for a 30 year retirement and unluckily die early than be prepared for a 5 year retirement and live to see 90, eating dog food.
Is it normal for a government contract to mandate that the contractor does or does not profess a specific political opinion? This feels very not normal.

Dataphor: Open-source truly-relational database management system
I’ve migrated an old PHP7 app from Heroku to GCP the last couple of weeks. I rewrote the CRUD in Go. The rest of the components were an SQLite database and an old (2013) SPA that holds up surprisingly good even today.

Heroku account: deleted.

For small scale projects Heroku seemed thousands of times easier to work with than GCP. I sometimes get lost in all the GCP menus and settings. It’s a lot.
I've noticed she gets some more attention outside her blog and YT channel recently.
Ya, this is relatable. I will however occasionally pick up a tab, but I'll be ask how much it is first, compare it to what I was prepared to spend that night, and it'd still be a big gesture to me, not a flex. Also don't know what venmo for salsa means. Anything I spend, I do so with the knowledge it could all be taken away tomorrow, or I could lose the job, or my apartment.

This is like optimising porn over actually having sex. It’s ridiculous.

That's a grey area. The prosecution would need to prove that you intended for someone to commit the murder, that you advocated its imminent commission (or at least the imminent initiation of steps toward the crime), and that you believed your advocacy of such crime was likely to lead to someone carrying it out.

Kinda my feeling. But I won't trash Scrivener.

> Vellum does almost nothing in comparison except produce a limited range of beautiful books.

Exactly. That's all I want. Hopefully a higher price means they can live on that alone.

And they have fonts which not everyone in the world is using. Maybe Scrivener does too; haven't checked.

But maybe this will start a flame war: Guy Kawasaki recommends Adobe InDesign. To hell with monthly fees, so no.
It says it happened in the deanery of a different church in the fortress (nitpick: not surrounded by this fortress at that time).
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peterskirche_(Erfurt)

Its auxiliary buildings are long gone, and even auxiliary buildings from later centuries are long gone, too, and the church itself was converted and rebuilt many times.
Can I ask what industry and your seniority (And maybe whether you’re doing 80h weeks?) Been considering a move, trying to calibrate myself on what I’m actually worth.
and then blamed everyone "hating free speech" for why it's failing lol
> but likely this next week I'll start studying and getting ready.

Studying?? For a job interview? Do you seriously need to do whiteboard algorithm reverse a linked list kinda coding as a senior in the US? Or what is it that you need to study before an interview?
I have also been out of work for ~8mo for various reasons, and while I’m sorry for your situation, it’s heartening to hear I’m not the only one. I’ve only actually gotten one tech screen in which I was asked a LC “hard” question, which I didn’t pass (I’m pretty good with “easy” and “medium”, but come on, hard?).

So far, I have one other interview from an internal referral, but haven’t heard anything back from the ~10-15 other applications I’ve sent out. I’m getting a bit discouraged and feel similarly as you - it would be nice to take more time off (maybe I don’t actually love working in tech?), but I have the same worried as you. Feels good to vent in this thread, though :)
I'll be the one to call B.S.

E.g., here, I'm skeptical about the specular reflections, which show a blue light on the left, a yellow light on the right, and a (seemingly) physically-accurate transition down the middle. Plus the too-plausible DOF in the background.

My wager is this is possibly using some AI-generated imagery, but it is largely a human art project.
Cool, I only skimmed the description maybe I needed to read it more carefully.

Have you considered doing rune rather than word ngrams? I can imagine that might be prohibitively expensive, but I really don’t know. I did something like that long long ago in C for automatic document language detection. It was quite accurate.
Thank you so much! That’s the one.

(It’s remarkable how often a vague description can yield an HN comment with an answer from a clever sleuth like yourself. Much appreciated.)
I’m not worried, I use one of my many personalities for each alt!
Thank you!

Not sure if I got it right, but if you want to build a simple backend I'd go with Supabase/Firebase for auth and Airtable for data/API. As for admin functionality — Retool seems to be the most powerful app (but can require some coding).

Also check out Memberstack — it allows to hide pages under paywall/authorization.

Here's a broader list of tools that we use.

No-code tools:

• Notion — documents (both internal project docs and public docs)

• Super.so, Tilda, Webflow, yep.so — landing pages and websites (also want to try popsy.so)

• Tally — forms

• Airtable — visual DB and API

• Figma, Canva — designs, prototypes, images, pitches

• Splitbee, Hotjar, Amplitude — analytics

• Crisp.chat, Intercom — customer support & analytics

• Make (Integromat), Zapier — automations

• MailerLite, SendGrid — transactional emails and newsletter

• Memberstack — membership/payments

Tech/low-code tools:

• Svelte — the simplest frontend framework to build (if you non-tech go with more popular React)

• Supabase, Firebase — auth+DB for prototypes

• Retool, Internal, UIBakery — back-office, admin functionality

• Render, DigitalOcean apps, Vercel — simplest hosting

• Napkin — simplest lambdas (eg. for simple backends with secret keys)

• GitHub Codespaces — coding without local env
Learning is driven by motivation. Motivation is diminished by unnecessary difficulty. Thus, learning via languages that are easier on the uptake will lead to better results.

Memory management and type safety can easily be learned later on... the core essence of programming doesn't involve either of those. It's about defining and composing abstractions, which is language agnostic.
>> Despite being a staff engineer, managing 12 engineers,

So this is actually a warning to me as a hiring manager. Good staff developers absolutely are technical leaders but if they have day-to-day people management skills I'm at best confused, at worst skeptical. Managing 12 engineers is a full time job before you even get to staff developer responsibilities.
...and good flux carries you the rest of the way.
You're assuming that your'e still getting/keeping that bonus after being fired. There's no way they are just giving you 6 figures in cash and hoping that you'll stick around - it's golden handcuffs.

And as others mentioned, the recent batch of firing "for cause" did not come with the same generous severance.
I live in a big city, but I'm terribly lonely.

- I live alone.
- I work hybrid, but when I go into the office, it's more or less empty and I spend all my time on zoom calls.
- My family lives far away.
- I'm single.

Most weeks, my only social interaction is at the local bar, where I'm a regular, or various dates from apps. Excesses of both of these is unhealthy in different ways.

I've been pushing myself to go to meetups and hobby groups, but my hobbies are mostly solo ones (probably a bi-product of spending time alone), and I have terrible decision paralysis. It ends up being a lot of work, and not at all something I'm excited about or that seems _fun_.

I don't really have a solution here, but something tells me I'm not alone in being in this situation.
Blogs are too readable.

I prefer the challenge of mentally stitching together individual sentences interspersed by ads.
Did I say they shouldn't be concerned?

After 2 years of Covid "disruption", immediately followed by war and drastic inflation and then predictions of recession, only the naive - and the government - would believe this ranks with SMBs.

> "I'm not sure why a monetary handout would help things."
Do you know any SMBs? Ever been one yourself? If the priority is to keep the lights on and make payroll, and they ARE struggling to do that, without support, sec isn't going to get much attention. If a pricey consultant needs to be brought in, how are they going to pay for that? How are they going to make time - and time is money - for that.
What would you propose they do differently?
Gee whiz, after all these years of ensigns, lieutenants, and lt. commanders contributing to early Linux high speed, low-latency ATM drivers toward the Linux kernel, ya think there can be an offset or something?
> do you support banning CrimethInc?

Not really, but free speech goes hand-in-hand with free association. Musk obviously has the prerogative to ban people.

> do you also support banning anti-vaxx misinformation at the height of a societal health crisis?

Nope, but again it's their perogative.

> do you support calling Musk out on his hypocrisy here?

I don't particularly care.

At the end of the day, free speech is the foundational freedom in the US. It's the 1st amendment for a reason. There's no use in arguing against it, it's an ultimate virtue whether people support it or not.

Clearly a private company do whatever it wants, BUT free speech is an ideal and
Twitter should nevertheless try to uphold it, as the de facto public square on the internet.
Because syntactic doesn’t mean semantic subset. Datalog uses bottom-up evaluation by default while Prolog uses top-down. As such they are computationally very different.
A few blocks away from John Hopkins right? I find that city so bizarre, you have mansions, one of the top universities in the country, and a few blocks away it's pure ghetto. People go from being friendly to staring at you as if you are an alien.

Baltimore is so weird, sometimes feels like living in Rio de Janeiro but only the bad part of Rio. None of the music scene, night life or beaches of Rio, but all of the inequality and violence.

Automation is merely a tool. There's little difference between running a script and clicking "download" blindly a thousand times.
Hi style-adjacent friend :-). Just briefly looking at your recent comment history, we seem to find different kinds of articles interesting, but maybe have a similar writing style.
I’ve been to their headquarters in Shenzhen it certainly didn’t look like much was being saved on r&d… I’d say much likely explanation is either aggressive government subsidy to price out competition with maybe some mix of wielding political blackmail later on (a la what US is doing with its chip restrictions rn)
> The same thing happened with Libya and Syria, only now it was the other set of talking points - although again, Qaddafi was promoting pan-African unity, an alternative currency, independence from Europe and the USA on oil sales, closer ties to Russia and China, etc. Assad backed out of a Saudi-USA-Israeli pipeline deal in 2009 and went for the Russia-Iran pipeline instead (plus lots of electricity integration with Iran), so Obama signed off on the CIA overthrow/regime change directive.

Oh, bollocks. In what universe did the US go to war with Assad's regime? The US tepidly tried arming a few of the (non-fundamentalist) rebel groups once they appeared, but nothing more than that. (Presumably you think the Arab Spring uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt were caused by the CIA, too, for some unfathomable reason.) And how, exactly, has the US profited monetarily from what happened in Libya and Syria?

(Gaddafi was actually getting closer to the US and Europe; in 2004 he gave up his nuclear weapons program in return for better relations with the West. As for "pan-African unity" -- sure, from the guy who invaded Chad to steal land from it. No one took his bombast seriously.)
> BTW were is the breakthrough in Teslas

You're either uninformed or being pointedly obtuse. Tesla has a massive patent portfolio -- starting with the roadster's gearless transmission.

It's a point of fact that building a massive car company within a crystallized industry was a breakthrough in its own right.
WOW! It's such a pleasure for me
Ahhh, anyone remembers this hacking crew who leaked BLUEETERNAL and other NSA tools and exploits? Shadowbrokers.

They were always communicating in some kind of meme-russian, and their texts were funny to read. [1]

I believe their writing mostly defeated this kind of analysis, at the cost of looking like idiots (which was probably the reason no one sent them crypto-dollars to buy that stuff exclusively).

Here's an excerpt:

"Attention government sponsors of cyber warfare and those who profit from it !!!!

How much you pay for enemies cyber weapons? Not malware you find in networks. Both sides, RAT + LP, full state sponsor tool set? We find cyber weapons made by creators of stuxnet, duqu, flame. Kaspersky calls Equation Group. We follow Equation Group traffic. We find Equation Group source range. We hack Equation Group. We find many many Equation Group cyber weapons. You see pictures. We give you some Equation Group files free, you see. This is good proof no? You enjoy!!! You break many things. You find many intrusions. You write many words. But not all, we are auction the best files."

Say that a company is called The White Power Group and is known to spew what most would consider hate speech. They bid to provide government offices with toilet paper. Should the government be allowed to turn them down?
Yes, which you don't hit 100% of the time.
I actually don't like that kind of articles at all precisely because I tend to find things from myself and the authors often do very bad job in analysing these behaviours because the articles are one sided "hit pieces" that essentially promote a narrative or a worldview.

All the same behaviours can be written in a self improvement post on LinkedIn or something or a successful person might try to attribute the success to these behaviours. In its core its all the same, at best people trying to explain things they don't understand using broken mental models and at worst people trying to explain their failure through their virtues(I could have been great but I'm too good of a person to act in that way).

IMHO all these behaviours have different roots and dynamics and plays little role in the actual results(being successful or overrated).
Why does it matter that the account exists?
I also enjoyed reading one of my style-partner’s posts.

The most noticeable similarity is that we both clearly have strong opinions about some things, and like to share information, but also like to be clear about our unknowns or opinions. So, lots of “sounds likes,” “probably,” “could be” and so on.

The downside is, I guess, this could be seen as a bit weasel-word-y or indirect.
Doctests in R
This argument, which the creator of the tool also uses, strikes me as essentially, “I’m going to harm you to show you that there is potential for you to be harmed”.

To make a crude analogy, what if I punched you in the face to demonstrate that you should consider learning kung fu? Or perhaps to indicate that, if a corporation wanted to, they could hire people to assault you and there would be little you could do about it? At the end of the day you’ve got a busted nose either way. Are you really better off?
Right, and that seems like a question that can be usefully answered right now by the victims of the early layoffs who might have had time to get a few offers by now. If the responses are all "it's been a month and 90% of the feedback I get is 'sorry we aren't hiring anymore'" then that paints a much more dire picture than "it's been a month and I have 4 viable offers that I need to pick between," both of which are potential responses we could be seeing by now.
My dad actually has a note in the margins of that book! Some joke about summations, if I recall.
I think it was Scott Adams he presented this formula to me: "Happiness = Health + Freedom". This includes mental, physical and emotional health, while freedom is far more variable and personal in definition. The key is you need both.

It IS a fraud and a counterfeit to illegally sell a device without a proper FCC license. They are either selling the device with a license ID for a different device (Counterfeit) or selling it without any license (Fraud).

Either way, it certainly has not gone through the required tests for not producing unacceptable levels of interference, and so could at the very least create problems in your environment and other devices.
