There's also relays which will send out your posts (assuming your instance is subscribed to a relay) to all the other instances (but not users - this just puts them in the "federated" timeline, not individual ones) subscribed to that relay as a kind of "wider Fedivee view".
No, not being included in Debian reflects poorly on the software. It implies there's something "wrong" with it. Perhaps it's too new, or too arcane, or in some other fashion doesn't live up to the operating system's extremely high quality and security standards.

I don't think this would necessarily be true with other Linux based operating systems (perhaps RHEL), but certainly is true in this case.

Not in the clause. It should be in the job description. Upfront and explicit:

We expect you to drink and bond with the team. We are looking for a person who is very similar and can fit in very well socially with the team we have built.

I think this is fair. I think it is UNFAIR for someone who is not this person to pretend that he is, get the job then use the law to protect himself from getting fired.

Let me ask you, do you think what the later person did is fair?

It's a "problem" in the sense that it's additional syntax with critically important meaning to the understanding of the code. The descriptiveness of the labels may help, but it won't eliminate the additional cognitive overhead required to mentally parse and reason about the code.
Then someone might use an archived version from the trivially scrapable API to recover the information. This is a site for hackers after all.
The chart shows that the uptick begins in 2014, roughly when the meth epidemic became a true epidemic, spreading to every part of the USA, so meth in particular, and drugs in general, are the most likely explanation. So these deaths fit in with the narrative of "rising deaths of despair."

And people learn the hard way about this. I've learned that I need instant gratification, and am likely to fail the marshmallow test[0] each time.

Degrees need good time management, and the ability to retain vast globs of information, and the ability to puzzle solve in a strict time regimen. Not my cup of tea.

Several weeks back, in the thread at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33561648 , I hit Google Scholar to find seemingly relevant papers. Here are two showing negative productivity.

The first is munitions production in England during WWI. There was linear production in hours worked, up to about 48 hours per week, then the marginal product went down; going negative after about 63 hours. See Figure 5 of "The Productivity of Working Hours", John Pencavel, 2014 at https://docs.iza.org/dp8129.pdf for a graph.

On a more national level, "The effects of working time on productivity and firm performance: a research synthesis paper", Lonnie Golden (2011) at http://www.ilo.org/wcmsp5/groups/public/---ed_protect/---pro... points out:

] A recent analysis of 18, mostly European, Member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development explores the degree to which longer annual hours have been associated with per-hour productivity at the national level, since 1950. It finds that the responsiveness of per-hour productivity for a given increase in working time is always negative. Not only are there decreasing returns on added working time, the returns in the form of added production diminish more rapidly for longer working times. When annual working time climbs above a threshold of 1,925 hours, a 1-per cent increase in working time would lead to a decrease in productivity of roughly 0.9 per cent at the threshold and a fully proportional decrease of 1 per cent past the threshold of 2,025 hours (Cette et al., 2011).

> I wish someone would invent scuba lite.

People are constantly inventing new products to fill this niche. Snuba being one of the least objectionable ones. Most are just flat out dangerous and marketed to uncertified divers, you can see these on places like kickstarter.

Freediving is always an option, but fatality data indicates it’s more dangerous on average than scuba. Lack of training is a problem since anyone can buy a mask and fins and start doing it. Shallow water blackout is no joke.

> The entire crypto ecosystem is a ponzi

That remains to be seen (for example I'm crossing fingers Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, which is an HN unicorn, ain't at the head of a ponzi) but meanwhile something is certain: SBF was running a Ponzi (guaranteeing insane returns using previous investors and people's money: yup, that's a plain ponzi).

And he was lying in nearly every single of his tweet, up to a few days before the downfall when he was tweeting that everything was fine. Or when he was saying the money was FDIC insured. Deleted the tweets? Too bad, people have copies of that.

To me it seems like quite some people are pushing this "every crypto is a ponzi" now that their poster ponzi boy got caught with the hand in the cookie jar.

But I'm not sure they'll succeed.

I think there could be a future where, just as energy and commodities are still a thing after the Enron ponzi, Bitcoin may still exist after FTX/Alameda ponzi.

Remember like two months ago crazy conspiracy theorist ultra-Hitler MAGAists were saying that adding a bunch of IRS agents was going to result in additional enforcement against the non-wealthy?

It's an incredible coincidence that we're now seeing additional enforcement against the non-wealthy, even though we know for a fact it has nothing to do with IRS new hires.
>In what universe? Sorry, but only a sociopathic boss would consider this "reasonable".

My point is it is reasonable for an employer to LOOK for an employee with these characteristic qualities.

It is unreasonable for an employee to demand this behavior out of you when they didn't inform you up front that's what they hired you for.

So in other words, this kind of stuff needs to be put in the job description. It needs to be explicit. In that case it is fair.
> Off the top of my head, fast food advertisments should be made illegal

This is ridiculous. Nearly everyone I know who is overweight eats hardly any fast food.

What I do see is lots of snacking throughout the day on high carb things (chips, breads, etc) and just way too many calories due to large serving sizes in both regular “slow food” restaurants and meals made at home.

Fast food meals if you skip the sugared soda tend to be closer to proper per meal calorie targets than sit down restaurants because of how cheap they are.

At sit down restaurants the price is higher to support a wait staff and lower throughput so they compensate with ridiculously huge portions.

> And is all of this worth it? I personally don’t think so.

Author put some thought into it so it’s an interesting read, but still, the lede should not have been buried.
No, that's not the issue. The problem with crypto is the grift -- and the inability to see what's a grift and what's not. I believe the term "rug pull" is the vernacular in the crypto community you may be familiar with.
Unless you want 100% Mastodon API / quirks compatibility, I'd skip the original Mastodon source and go for something like Akkoma[1] (it's a fork of Pleroma) - easier to install and much lighter in resource use.

The Advent of Flush Headlights in US and a (Late 1980s)
Fantastic, I'm sure the bitcoin developers will appreciate the free labor. But if you care you have any reputation as anything but a hotheaded fool-- you should probably tone the public announcements down until you've actually completed your work! Otherwise, even when you do carry work though until you find something interesting (and I'm sure you would if you work at it long enough)-- you'll still have earned a poor reputation regardless.
At this point all optimizations that make the codebase more complicated should be postponed. Finally someone made a good enough GIL-less patch a couple of versions back, this should be analysed and integrated ASAP so that we take advantage of today's multicore systems. MS's 25% speed improvement is nice but I an not sure it doesn't move things in a wrong direction.
I think we would know if we're living in a simulation. There has to be some lag, but in my experience things appear very real-time and there's no lag, so.
“Illegal war” is just a phrase to make political noise about military action you don’t like.

There are treaties, not laws, and no body to actually enforce laws, it’s just diplomacy. General practices are agreed upon but they’re basically just loose agreements.

As someone that spends almost no time thinking about hibernation, this was a pretty interesting read! On the problem of weight needed to sustain a crew to and from Mars, could we not setup something like a network of stations for the sole purpose of resupplying ships on long journeys? A moon base seems like it would be a good start as well.
I’m a contractor at Groq working on custom ASICs for ML (at least for about the next month). The specialness was to plan my entire schedule around tuesdays and thursdays. Those are my only days with required morning meetings, and thankfully those are 11am and noon respectively.

With careful planning, I’ve managed to only miss one meeting.

Getting a diagnosis is the most important step. It helps you accept that it’s not your fault (a big one for me). Which lets you focus on delivering value in your niche, which is all that employers actually care about.

If I’d known I had narcolepsy, I wouldn’t have tried to get into an industry so focused on client meetings. So the planning phase is pretty crucial.

Fun result from an old Fifth Gear episode back when SUVs were called “four by fours”.

https://youtu.be/4aCumC7sJIg

The taller nose of an SUV better distributes forces across more of a pedestrian’s body, which reduces injury. And you get pushed ahead of the car instead of being scooped up to hit the windshield with your head. This is again better for the pedestrian as long as the car stops in time not to run over the person lying on the ground.

You’ll notice that non-SUV noses have been getting taller and flatter for the past ~15 years. This is a direct result of Euro NCAP rules for pedestrian safety.

edit: if you’re downvoting, I really suggest you watch the linked video. It’s great food for thought.
Lol that makes a lot more sense. I thought it was some historical thing that lords would do with their purebred hounds or something, like hunting while discussing startup ideas.
Computer Utopias 2015
The instructor only asks the students to “take this ray-tracing program written in OCaml and run it on your CPU implemented on an FPGA”

However, some teams put more energy into doing fun such as running games or playing music by connecting a speaker with their CPU.

That reminded me of this Linus Akesson demo, where he himself makes an entire SoC, including a GPU, and the software for it: https://www.linusakesson.net/scene/parallelogram/index.php
>It isn't money. Money can be easily exchanged for goods and services.

And people do. There's a bitcoin ATM at my local liquor store. And a strip club downtown that takes bitcoin.

Well, you pretty much can't migrate your posts anyway even if you're moving without being nuked. But if you get nuked, you probably can't move your followers either which would suck.

Towards the end of the last season of Camp Crustaceous. To be fair, there are intense (for a cartoon aimed at kids) romantic scenes between a straight couple as well.

> There's no discourse you can have with someone claiming such a bizarre viewpoint.

Eh, not that bizarre. It's not hard to image people could make the leap from "Disney has a gay agenda" (some Disney producer did an interview stating that leadership welcomes her gay agenda and that she tries to put queerness wherever she can) to "Disney wants to indoctrinate children".

The extremist are loud and annoying, but they aren't the majority.
> If something only has value because you think you can sell it to the next sucker for more, it is a ponzi scheme.

That's not what a ponzi scheme is.

In a ponzi scheme, there is a fictitious business model that's purported to be turning a profit, and its lack of profit is hidden by secretly using new inflows to pay off old investors.

In crypto, none of that is hidden. It's widely known that dollars cashed out by earlier investors come from the coffers of later investors. Since e.g. Bitcoin doesn't deceive people about being a profitable company, it's by definition not a ponzi scheme.

Edit: This is a discussion section. If you disagree with my comment, let's respectfully discuss it. I see a lot of voting and no replying.

Every time they try, a lot of people seem to die. Maybe pattern recognition over time isn’t a strength people have.

Same story in crypto. There will be shock and awe when Binance falls and plenty of people saying “real crypto has never been tried”.
According to the paper, that's one of the goals of the project:

"In the future, we plan to investigate several natural extensions to Mach. Specifically, we believe that metrics workloads exhibit similar characteristics to other observability data types: logs, events, and traces [20, 21]. For example, integrating log data will require the investigation of fundamental design considerations (e.g., trading off compression speed with size, enabling search over compressed data), whereas supporting traces might necessitate the development of entirely new data models (e.g., graph-based approaches to facilitate root cause analysis). Our ultimate goal is to establish Mach as a unifying storage engine for observability workloads."
Has British-English moved on from calling them "4x4"?
I wonder how easy it is for a small instance to get overwhelmed quickly, though.

One of my responses to Nova got boosted by her, and my media storage and database size immediately spiked (600MiB to 1.3GiB and 20MiB to 42MiB). Requests went from none to 20/sec, just by that triggering more people to favorite and boost.

I imagine if I ever manage to post something profound that someone with even greater influence happens to like, my server will be doomed.

That's absurd. What about the feature of posting a link? Writing a comment? Replying on a thread? Reading the comments? Sorting by new? Voting, flagging... There are lots of features on this site.
Yeah I work for google.

Let me reword my sentence a bit because I left some things implied but a lot of people didn't pick up on it. It should be an expectation put FORTH in the JOB DESCRIPTION before the employee is hired.

It is a reasonable expectation, PROVIDED the employee knew about the expectation BEFORE he is hired.

If he didn't know about it, and the expectation was sprung on him, then it is UNFAIR.
Then Monero is good at buying drugs, not crypto in general

> Back in the day before IP killed everything else, DECnet was nice.

As someone that used to work as a network engineer supporting IP, IPX, DECnet, Vines IP, and SNA over Ethernet, token ring, arcnet, FDDI, ATM, 100VG-Anylan, X.25, frame relay, ISDN and a variety of dedicated circuit types I am grateful that IP and Ethernet have killed almost everything else off. The network protocols were not always easy to have living together on the same network.
Not relevant just to Asian faiths, as it was a symbol widely used in many Indo-European cultures, particularly Slavic and Roman(and Germanic, but that perhaps hits too close to the problem). You still can see it as ornament carved into wooden beams under a roof and above doors on many old houses in rural areas of Serbia and Romania. Not sure though if it had any real superstitious meaning after the Christianity came, or it was just a traditional ornament that continued to be used purely as a decoration.
Wartime Enid Blyton books called it the “Crooked Cross” (which was vaguely mystifying to 8 yo me, 30 years after the end of the war and in the pacific).
I agree with you to some degree, but if your statement were 100% true, you would be able to do both of these things below in my area:

- Store (not live in) an RV on an empty lot you own

- Use composting as a primary means of sewage disposal

Where I live now, you can do neither! This leads me to believe that _some_ building codes - and enforcement of them - is classist in nature.

Heck, even with blackwater tanks...people are capable of emptying them at an RV disposal etc. If this were just about management of cleanliness, we could all find a way to make it work.
That also correlated with the times that a number of states began to legalize marijuana for recreational use[1]. There are studies looking at this relationship and finding a correlation between road death increases and marijuana legalization.

Thanks for your comment! I think slower reading can certainly have its advantages. The Papyrus font has been shown to improve retention, as it is harder to read, forcing slower reading speed. By scrambling words, reading is further slowed. Articles I have read with this formatting are easier to recall, and only a bit slower to read. This is almost like a counterpoint to bionic reading, which allegedly increases reading speed.

I've recently switched to using nix-shell and overmind with a Procfile to officially retired docker-compose from all of my projects. Such a breath of fresh air.

Like Mitchell Hashimoto (Hashicorp), I no longer do any development on macOS directly; I have a Linux VM where all my projects live and have their environments managed with a shell.nix file. Highly highly recommend it.
I'm curious which parts of the above is deserving of downvotes?

It’s very common for the older generation to persist in toxic relationships, because a) “till death do us part” and b) anyone who didn’t want a nuclear family was “not normal”. Modern generations are realising they don’t need to live a life they don’t enjoy, which leads to more isolation. I would rather live alone than live in a bad relationship. Not saying this is the sole cause, but it would definitely be a factor.
