> In my experience mines opening tend to be good for local economies and provide good jobs

I have never heard anyone describe mining as a "good job". It's a terrible, physically intensive, extremely unhealthy and highly risky job. What's the life expectancy for coal miners like?
Hard situation to be in...

Here are different things that have helped me or some of my friends (none with exactly the same situation, but with similarities...). Many things have a small effect short term that compound over the time...

- Finding a good counselor you click with (they had to change to find the good one) had been very important and very impactful for 2 of my friends with dire situations... This had been a gradual, over several years, but "spectacular". I think everybody could be better/happier if could do that at some point.
(On the top of that, some of my friends got diagnosed "gifted", hypersensitive or on the autism spectrum, and that helped them to understand past things and to navigate present. And I think there is an over-representation of those situation among HN readers...)

- Volunteering, if possible in a group, and helping people you are in contact with, and doing something else than what you do for a living. This is not game changing, but you do help some people, meet new people (that you don't choose), test something different

- Going to work regularly on a small coworking space you kinda click with (me was a self-managed community one). Short term I enjoyed having lunch or coffee with people different than me or my colleagues (and be less alone all day), learning things, giving them a hand at the occasion. Longer term I made some acquaintances and even friends.

- Trying one/some extracurricular activities with the same group of people, some commitment, and fixed time in the week. Those constraints lower the motivation required to keep attending it, which is very important to be able to keep doing it, and then secondly, being in position to benefits from it. It is much harder to keep doing things in you own (ex. running alone, or learning guitar on youtube)

- Trying to live abroad for couple of years (and doing some of the things listed above at the same time). Abroad it is often easier to connect with people. Because people does not know you (yet) and you are in a very new place, you can sometimes feel more free from many (unconscious) "constraints" or burden you were carrying. Being in a very new environment can be stimulating. It helps to get a different insights on you. Depending were you are from and what you like, the place can be very different, with very different experience (personally I met people who really got something from moving from Europe to (busy) Saigon, Chiang Mai or (relatively quiet) Vientiane, or American people moving to Saigon, Vientiane or France)

> The photographer clearly states in her website that all of her photos are edited in some way or another (see 'Disclaimer'):

Nevertheless, on https://kittiyapawlowski.com/snow-leopard-series there is no mention whatsoever that images are fake collages.

Images are highly misleading, no actual snow leopards are in places like this.

Also, even disclaimer is misleading and not making clear that many images are heavily faked. Not just colour balanced but altogether merge of multiple different photos.

That is just lying from side of that artist ("photographer" is misleading here).
True, but let's revisit those cultural norms in 60 years, when most of India is middle class according to developed country levels :-)

Okay, I may be a bit blunt, but to spend any significant time with crypto means that you are either a) illiterate in finance, b) illiterate in technology, c) into scamming people, d) into gambling or e) into illegal things. If a or b, you yourself probably do not realize it. Anyway, any combination of these would constitute black mark in my recruitment process for most of the jobs.
Thanks, I'll remember to add the conversion next time.

> this same approach applies to all other authentication tokens

Not true. FIDO and prevents this. The key is bound to the site you authorized it on, so inputting the key while connected to a phishing site will do nothing.

Artists don't need to add disclaimers to their work. They are not journalists. That would be ridiculous.

The only relevant question you have to ask yourself is whether she (herself) presented herself as a journalist. If not then this is all a bit weird to accuse her of anything.

Obviously artists can use photo montages. And obviously artists don't even have to disclose that anywhere. The art can stand for itself.
I meant this which is different: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/tutorials/ty...

For example, there is an SQL provider that gives you generated types and auto-complete but it does this without running a source generator that emits files. It just happens inside the compiler.
On https://kittiyapawlowski.com/snow-leopard-series there is no mention whatsoever that images are fake collages.

Description heavily suggests that this are real photos.

(at least right now, site is being edited, they just added disclaimer and made their FB page private)

And this is case of being deliberately misleading. Note that they not claimed that it was malicious!

I switched from Android to Apple and then back again after a couple of years. Device was fine, just didn't like iOS.
The sentiment is there, but there's just so much wrong in this article, I can't believe it. Beginning with the fact that HTTPS certs DO provide security, exactly in the cases the author dismisses: someone who man-in-the-middles the connection, at any point between the server and the client, can't tamper with the HTTPS connection undetectably. It either requires a compromised server or domain (so you can sign the tampered content), or a compromised client, to accept a tampered content.
In theory. I have lived in a country where all banks banned crypto exchange payments.

"the first credible open (as in, not owned by Oracle or MS) standard for a real cross language VM"

It's great that you're developing WASI but I don't see how it's any more open than the JVM or .NET CLR. Obviously from a licensing perspective it's not any different, anyone can go implement the JVM or CLR specs. In the past the JVM and Java even had a rather complicated community process designed to disempower Sun, some aspects of which remain today.

It sounds like WASM/WASI is something similar but with Fastly being the dominant company instead of Oracle/MS. I went to the bytecodealliance github repo and picked a random repository with "wasi" in the name and looked at the last commit. It was by someone who works at Fastly. Technical specs always have some firm or another pushing more than others at any given point, that's not what determines if they're open or not.

Also, both the JVM and CLR have had support for mutually distrusting components from the start, so that's not really new either. That support didn't get widespread use because sandboxing even at the process level for individual apps is still rather rare, and sandboxing at the sub-component level proved too hard to get right with the CLR/JVM approach. It's probably better to argue that what you're doing with WASI is better in some concrete technical sense rather than arguing it's new.
> Is there any way to have more glyphs for the same letter and choose one randomly?

Have the human write down not 1 but 50 times the font to be scanned and create 50 fonts.

Then pick one of these 50 fonts at random for each character.

I'd say that'd be the absolute simplest way (although not the most bandwith efficient).
Bitcoin solves what is called the double spending problem without a central authority. Any other existing digital cash system, including the present-day fiat currencies and payment infrastructure relying on them as well as other digital currencies, require a central authority to maintain and dictate the true history of a monetary ledger, to make sure that the same units of money are not spent twice. Bitcoin instead decentralizes the bookkeeping and uses a proof-of-work system to maintain consensus between independent bookkeepers about the true history of the ledger.
I can see this unlocking a new class of card games. Instead of buying a different set of cards, players would only need to buy one set of these e-ink cards, which could be used across a completely new marketplace of card games. They have the benefit of being more interactive and thus more immersive/engaging, albeit they seem a little unwieldy (the form factor could improve to make them thinner).

Can you file a patent for something like this? If you can, then I would explore that option.

> Which is just an appeal to nature and/or tradition.

An appeal to nature and/or tradition is not inherently a fallacy.

We KNOW for a fact that meat is a valid food, and we also know almost all of its downsides.

We definitely don't know the downsides of all these new "foods". And unfortunately it's the kind of thing that will take decades and decades to figure out.

See for tobacco, for example: https://youtu.be/GMOyNgLSX2g?t=1801

But in any case, since I don't have conclusive evidence this is bad for us, I'm perfectly fine with others being Guinea Pigs and I'll be perfectly happy to eat it once there are government mandates in place to ban meat consumption and have it replaced with artificial meat :-)
One card pp might be adequate for the hold cards. It's easy enough to represent two cards on one little screen. Feels tidier to me.

For holdem, you ideally need a plinth that can "deal" cards upside down. Maybe it's more general to have a plinth that can update cards in either orientation.

This might sound kind of inspirational but as someone who feels similarly to OP, that's a long list of things that I would never want to do. I don't want to do anything - that includes the random list that you're throwing at the wall. It's not like I've always wanted to have a different job, travel or learn more languages and I'm too timid to try these things - I don't want to do anything including all of the things you mentioned.

Change is a good thing but removing all of the stability from your life and spending all of your time doing things that you don't want to do seems like a really bad idea.
Sorry, I keep forgetting that HN is weird with line breaks

Re-typing/re-quoting:

--------

The link literally has this:

export const className = style({
display: 'flex',
flexDirection: 'column',
selectors: {
'&:nth-child(2n)': {
background: 'aliceblue'
}
},
'@media': {
'screen and (min-width: 768px)': {
flexDirection: 'row'
}
}
});

Which is indistinguishable from any other CSS-in-JS which has hundreds of these one-off things scattered everywhere. With a theme somewhere exposing another hundred or so variables of varing quality. And all these solutions basically converge on Tailwind (or other utility-first CSS approaches):

export const hero = style({
backgroundColor: vars.color.brandd,
color: vars.color.white,
padding: vars.space.large
});

is nothing more than `bg-brand color-white p-4`

But TypeScript support is definitely nice.

- I dislike being lied to in general

- this images are highly misleading, real snow leopards do NOT behave like that

- that makes me (and other) justifiably more suspicious about other claims related to snow leopards, nature protection and people involved

After all, if they are happy to lie in this way - maybe they are also happy to defraud money that got donated? Maybe snow leopards are extinct or impossible to protect anyway?

> Also if all this brings more awareness to safe these animals? win-win.

This also brings more awareness and proof that people lie to you and you should ignore their claims.

That is one of reasons for denialism of smog as real problem, denialism of global warming and so on.

Sacrificing trust and credibility to get less than 800$ (maybe they lied also about this?) is not a good trade.

Also that is a perfect case to show "see, they are probably lying again about this animals - lets build that motorway/factory/resort".

This is a bad strategy even if we do not care about ethics, lying and so on.

I don't understand the argument. 99% of UK banks don't allow customers to buy barrels of salted pork. But the state will ask you to pay your taxes if you make added-value selling barrels of salted pork

> There are literally people who have taxes on added-value made on crypto due but are unable to pay them because their banks are refusing their money.

If they have taxes on added-value, it means they sold tokens, so they can take that money out fo the exchange and use it to pay tax

I have never, ever browsed the app store. My only interactions with it is getting annoyed every time they move the place you have to tap to update all your apps, or change the way you refresh the list of apps to update. In my mind, the entirety of the app store is crud that's in my way.

As for getting new apps, it's almost always through a webpage that takes me directly to the app in the store.

It has categories? Lists? Curated content? Ads? Paid placements?

I had no idea.

Everyone is raising prices, in 12 years they not only expanded, but also were subject to inflation. When adjusted for 2.5% inflation, $20 in 2010 is $32 in 2023, so this plan is still cheaper than what it used to be 12 years ago.
This is a really good and not at all easy to answer question. The most I can say is that folks earlier this year used some SAT solver equivalent to find notable patterns that cannot be constructed - including a still life and an oscillator https://conwaylife.com/wiki/Unsynthesizable_oscillator_1. This doesn't have much bearing on the probability of constructability for an arbitrary large pattern.
Over a million Americans died from Coronavirus.

Perhaps we can evaluate what went wrong so the next time we have a better outcome.

Of course the next time will be slightly different and the science will change. “Best practices “ are what we start with.

Personally, I find debating on the Internet isn’t very productive.

For example, everyone at the beginning who said “most people survive Covid” were right. These people were were fine with a million deaths from the beginning

> * The ease of concurrent programming, e.g. emacs-aio.

There's no such thing. emacs-aio is an extension bolted on top of generators and promises, which is how it was bolted on in Python too - so not bad by itself - but the problem is that nothing in Emacs core supports it. Async in Emacs is still, in 2022, a callback hell, and it's not even supported in newer APIs, like completion-at-point (which is awful - I understand that the origin of this is minibuffer completions and that it might be justified to do everything synchronously, but in-buffer completions should not freeze the editor!)

Now we have threads, but seemingly nobody uses them - not surprising, given that last time I tried I got a segfault pretty quickly (fixed since then). Still, threads? With locks and semaphores? Didn't we all agree that these are not the greatest primitives for concurrency? What about channels or async streams? Not to mention, the threads normally should be preemptively scheduled, while currently they are "mostly cooperative" in Emacs. IOW you can still run code in a thread that will not return control to any other thread, as long as it doesn't do IO. Which would be fine with coroutines, but these are supposedly threads! So you pay in memory for threads but get coroutines, but with pretty fuzzy notion of what's atomic. It's a cosmic horror story.

I'm trying to write a "guide to modern Elisp programming" - there were definitely very interesting and good developments in Emacs Lisp over the last 5 years, and generally the language, coupled with convenience libraries like cl, seq, s, f, and so on, became a very productive environment. EIEIO (and cl-structs) and multimethods (true multimethods, which landed at some point in cl-lib without much fanfare, though they really deserve more attention) are incredibly expressive if you don't mind a bit of syntactic overhead (clojure-style . and .. would be appreciated). cl-loop is incredibly versatile tool that lets you declaratively state almost any kind of iteration and reduction. There's object inspector, there's a package supporting many kinds of refactorings, and of course helpful for rendering information about commands, functions, and variables. It's overall great and productive environment... until you try doing async, unfortunately.
In other words, real crypto hasn't been tried yet. We dismiss communists when they make such statements, why should we make an exception for crypto?

Human factors are part and parcel of crypto. I don't think we can pretend that there exists a world where everyone just behaves properly despite every incentive to defraud people
Frames were (and to an extend still are) heavily abused for advertising and other purposes. You could, for example, hide the real URL of a page. The user would go to the page, the page would contain the frameset, and the frames would just load content from wherever. Really broke the promise of the URL bar, which would suggest that the page you're seeing belongs to the URL displayed.

World is ruled by money. Advertising is big. Anything that ruin this business will never be advertised publicly. Just imagine huge posters or ads in TV in prime time for pi-hole or AdGuard. That would be paradox not just for advertisers but also for product that is mean to work against advertising.

Ah, yes, the freedom to invest all your life savings in obvious unregulated scams such as FTX.

Cryptocurrencies advocate for a very libertarian point of view: you are the only responsible of your money, and if you get scammed, sucks to be you. Banks on the other hand are much more "social": they are protecting you against scammers, and sometimes against yourself.

I know a case of a person falling to a "Hello we're the FBI we need to get your money for an undercover operation but we'll give it back", wiring tens of thousands to scammers. The bank did everything they could, including "losing" the wire order until that person family and friends managed to bring the victim back to their senses. The same story would have been very different with Bitcoin.

People here on HN are tech savvy, and smart enough to not fall into these scams. But advocating for a system that will leave all the most vulnerable members of our society penniless is quite astounding to me. "Some of you may die, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make".
