Yes, you can turn things around.

41-42 was the killer for me. Lost jobs (tech job meltdown in 2000/2001), broke up with long term girlfriend, car repoed, 911, mother died, condo foreclosed, storage shed sold at auction, all in a 10 month period. When looking back at that period, I sometimes wonder how I survived. When it all crashed down around me, some people I knew from online gaming took me in. All I had was a car and what fit in the back. Moving to a different state made a huge difference.

43 is not too old for dating. My age is too old for dating. If wife & kids is a desire, then it needs to become a total priority. I put it off, and as a result too much time passed by. To achieve a wife and kids, I have to rob the cradle. You are still in the dateable range of women in their 30s. 45 may be too late, 50 is almost certainly too late.

I was saving up for expenses for a surrogate. Uninsured medical expenses destroyed that (even after the 90% discount they gave me for being uninsured). I had previously considered adoption, but Florida's child welfare dept decided to declare me "legally gay" and ban me from adopting in that state (several years after I left FL, the state changed adoption laws to allow gays/lesbians to legally adopt in FL). I had gotten involved in LGBT civil rights and the bureaucrats involved didn't think that any straight person would do that. Much like the thinking that no white person could possibly be involved in the Civil Rights movement back in the 1960s.

Exercise was helpful for me. Just walking about 30 minutes per day. In gyms, I find that I enjoy aerobic dancing. I found what works for me are group classes rather than doing weights or machines. I'm not trying to get all muscular. With group classes, I found that I have to fit to their schedule, so it makes telling bosses "gotta go, I'll be back in 90 minutes" as I can fit exercise breaks into my daily routines. This was extremely helpful when I worked from home.

Therapy was helpful. I've used therapy whenever I had insurance. I know there are some places that have sliding-scale rates for lower income people. Most men of my generation would rather die than admit any sort of weakness.

There is a DNA test that you can take that can help determine which anti-depressant medications would be helpful (or not). For example, mine said that I have a gene that makes escitalopram (Lexapro) not very useful for me (my body metabolizes it too fast). If your therapist thinks that SSRI-type antidepressants might be helpful, the test could cut down on much of the trial-and-error that goes into finding which medication works for you.

Keeping up with newer technology has always been important. In the 90s and early 2000s, my budget for tech books was about $100-150/month. Nowadays, stuff moves so fast that books are obsolete before they can be printed. I'm happy being a coder and I turn into someone I hate when I've been a manager/team lead.

(not op) I stayed with a friend in Zimbabwe at the height of their hyperinflation.

His house was filled with petrol (gas) because he'd been paid and he had to buy something the same day that would keep for a month and hold it's value or his money would evaporate. So we sat in his house praying there wasn't a fire.

That's the use case for Bitcoin: currency of final resort. It's the same as gold only better (can't be faked, hard to steal etc).

I think in countries with stable currencies and after 2 decades of low interest and inflation, that's underrated as a use case...

I also believe (forgive the digression into my weird conspiracy theories) that one reason the US has made so much progress on legalised weed is because crypto and the dark web basically mean you can get whatever you want delivered right to your door. But that's just my own weird world view.
This is really an image codec, isn't it? Since it doesn't have any temporal compression capabilities.

It's interesting to see how well such a simple technique performs. I wonder what would happen if you added trivial temporal compression by simply subtracting the color values of the previous frame from the next and encoding the residual. How would that perform?

Really like this comment -- dovetails nicely with Bill Gates "Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose," and helps illuminate the fundamental problem: status insulates you from accountability, but without accountability you lose a crucial form of feedback essential in nearly everyone's ability to correctly assess themselves.

Ask HN: Did AWS break your Managed Airflow environments last night?
All of our schedulers on Amazon MWAA (managed Airflow) failed to start this morning because of an Airflow version mismatch. The schedulers are trying to start on Airflow version 2.5.0 while 2.2.2 is the configured (and latest-supported [1]) version for the service.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Solid question. There are a ton of reasons why accurate geolocation matters for everyone. For us it matters, because that is what we do as a business, we provide super accurate data.

> I don't want random website owners to know exactly where I am.

With IP geolocation, it is not exactly "exact" location. City level? Yes. Zip code level? Kinda Yes. Latitude and Longitude? I would put it as a good possible estimation. Our customers are aware of that.

Nobody is tracking you with IP geolocation, to be honest. It is used for a ton of reason.....and I just had a long day, please just read the blogs we have on our site. I wrote some of the blogs myself.

> Why should it mean a lot to me?

Honestly, if you are not being impacted by wrong IP geolocation, it may not mean a lot to you personally. But people who are impacted are being located to a wrong city, state or in some cases to a different country. Us providing accurate geolocation does mean a lot in my opinion. There are no hoops to jump through, we are literally reaching out to you to find a way to solve this problem.

whenever i see articles related to the high cost of tuition, i always take a moment to point out that this phenomena is largely government-driven, with the rest of the blame being societal.

only until the government stops lending tuition money to anyone with a pulse will the true, economic cost of higher education come down. in order to do that, a politician will need to commit political suicide to propose such legislation, which will never happen.

couple that with the "go to college and get a good job" mentality in the US and it's no surprise nearly all US high school students feel compelled to borrow a truck-load of money and go to college.

why do we look down on the trades? i have friends who never went to college, learned a skill, and are making gobs of money (with no debt to service!).
This is why I prefer laws that make it cheaper for everyone to build. Not laws that make it more expensive for some to be redistributed to others. There are always edge cases, always someone that gets hurts by these sorts of good intentions.

It's better if the city simply keeps everyone honest and tries to keep compliance costs as low as possible. Increase housing density where possible, while not listening to the NIMBYs.

I think many people are too used to the centralised model and having one org responsible to blame for issues.

You know how we use websites right now? Who's responsible for planning, scaling, and paying for all of that? Users have no interest in running their own "website instance". Right?

And we're already at the point where for big groups running your own requires multiple full time jobs.

Even if things don't work smoothly, it's fine. Most breakage is instance local and temporary. I've been on Twitter with a weekly failwhale and it's been fine too.
That is a very shallow angry view of the modern world which leaves out so many methods the people have successfully used to exercise their power.

Interesting take. How much of these architectural problems came from

- process / workflow (everybody goes on hacking a topic for weeks and then integrate ?)
- team size (I can foresee how clojure would make large team a problem, but small teams happier)
Just note that they’re not guaranteed to be called precisely on time, e.g. my “every 15m” CRON job will be called every 15m _at best_, in practice… twice per hour.

This works perfectly for my case (content syndication for https://potato.horse), and I’m pretty happy with GH actions for this kind of stuff, but if you need something more precise, you might want to look somewhere else.
Updated Zstd Implementation Merged For Linux 6.2
This is a reasonable approach, but having a catch-all case that handles the exception and re-throws it, but wrapped in custom exception type can be problematic in case a new exception is added - the consumer of the API needs to go over their code and change the types everywhere, or else their catch code will not be working as before anymore.

This problem can easily go unnoticed, judging by my Haskell experience.

The solution would be to always use "checked exceptions" (or similar concept in your language, e.g. `ExceptT SomeEnumType` in Haskell) and never use catch-all cases (or wildcard patterns, in case of Haskell), so that every exception handling case is tagged with exception type, and type-checked.
Hang in there my friend.

My meagre advice: start with one goal. A small, achievable one. Then choose another goal, or extend the first. Repeat. Keep track of your successes in a visual way.

The value is the network and it's hard to get a person's entire network to move over at once. You're right that most people don't care about "decentralization", but they really care about not losing access to their account, avoiding hate/bullying, and many other things. A Mastodon type decentralized platform where you join the server that best aligns best with your interests/needs is one way to solve this. More friction though, so not sure on what will win out.
Some later Macintosh systems also had a PC Card -- an expansion card with an x86 CPU and chipset on it. The x86 system could (somehow!) use the RAM and storage of the host computer, and took over the system's video output with a weird adapter cable.
I don't see how an exception type defined at the throw site would be significantly different than using the text of the exception to convey the type. Callers wouldn't know to expect it either way, so how would they be able to handle it effectively?

Short answer - No. The MIPI CSI-2 (CSI has been deprecated) interface is not plug and play. It requires some tuning of the handshaking between the image sensor and the receiving SOC. I think the RPI + HQ camera + libcamera is the best place to start to learn a full camera system since libcamera is open source. The software stack for a camera is a pretty large undertaking. The ISP calibration and AAA algorithms are generally closely held by various camera companies.
Another shameless plug: I made a cross platform "native (Rust with Webkit)" desktop app that does the same thing (Win/Lin/Mac). It also allows you to see your "profile" afterwards in the app, search within your Tweets, and allows backing up things like mentions, responses, likes, etc:

The value of Twitter is in the network of people who use it, not the software or infrastructure that runs it. No matter how easy it was to migrate, nobody would do it unless everybody did it.

Something like you're describing would have a better chance of succeeding given an existing network to talk to. If you want to make a Twitter clone with good import tools, it's more likely to succeed if it speaks ActivityPub and networks with Mastodon. There's probably a userbase for a product like that (but not necessarily a business model).

> What meta analysis shows the inefficacy of psychoanalysis? Despite being apparently on the side of science, you didn’t bother to cite any actual science. Ironic

Look, if you are so interested in this, why don't you do the research yourself?

I literally just googled "meta-analysis psychoanalysis" and the very first link that came up [1] was, surprisingly, a meta-analysis about psychoanalysis which concluded the abstract with the following phrase:

"In contrast to previous reviews, we found the evidence for the effectiveness of LTPP [long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy] to be limited and at best conflicting."

I'm not interested in wasting more of my time on this topic, so don't expect any more replies.

Then it's not really a good faith reply to their point is it?

The problem presented wasn't how you pay, it's the fact that you pay and take on moderation duties and curation.

Getting reimbursed by friends doesn't change that, and if anything it convolutes the latter part of the problem by leaving the door open to some awkward dynamics.

Everybody has lobbyists, but there are legal limits on lobbying. Lobbyists have to register and make some of their activities transparent. They're not allowed to be used for laundering money in political donations, which are sharply limited. Giving money to a newspaper to support a candidate may cross that line. It would take an FEC (or state equivalent) investigation to make a judgment (and probably the courts would want a say in it, too).

Newspapers also have ethical limits. Ethical limits aren't legally enforceable, but for the most part major newspapers don't allow pharma, hospitals, defense, etc. to cross those lines. There are always exceptions, I'm sure, but the newspapers still cling to the hope that they'll be seen as accurate rather than simply shilling for whoever pays them. It undercuts their entire mission.

So this isn't the same as the usual round of lobbying. Lobbying is a legal and regulated activity, a way for groups to coordinate access to politicians and plan their public relations. That always has the risk of being shady, but it's more above-board than most people imagine.

Except when the rules are broken, and in that case it might be a crime. That's newsworthy.
