Yes, too often "You need to see a therapist" is just a euphemism for "I don't want to listen to your problems."

This is an important data point and a general trend toward the cheapening of human relationships. Friendship means something very specific, and for a lot of people now it means only the superficial. Anything deeper than that is actively discouraged. I think of those surveys about friendship took this kind of friendship into account. The number of people without any friends at all would be outrageously high.

If you disagree with your govt. either financial policies (taxation, currency controls etc.) or political. You can use Bitcoin to maintain control your assets. For example, if the government suddenly decides to restrict capital leaving the country, BTC would be free from that restriction. If your govt. decides your political activity is now criminal and wants to freeze all your assets domestically as well with international partners, BTC would not be frozen. This is not a problem that most people in the US will face. But if you are a Russian or Chinese citizen then BTC's utility would be much more real.
Was the Quest 2 cheap because the BOM was low, or because Facebook subsidized hundreds of dollars of each headset?

If VR is costing them 10s of billions of dollars yearly, where else could that much money have gone?

Some video formats only go I. Then there's not a lot different between images and video, as far as editing goes. Decoding for end user transportation has a lot more going on, but one has to start somewhere.

Anyway - I think that this kind of work is a great starter and gets more people interested in this.

The study you linked is for specific narrow treatment techniques in intensive inpatient psychotherapy, as compared with more typical psychotherapy treatment in the community for people on the waitlist.

There are a handful of problems I can think of for using a waitlist in the community receiving traditional psychotherapy as a control for a group receiving intensive inpatient treatment.

But the article you linked does not support your point in the context of this discussion.
This is very informative and beginner friendly write up which came be used as strategy for organizing apps in Clojure. I personally have something very similar which Redis storage used as persistent storage for storing jobs and tasks within workflow are potentially executed on diff hosts.
I would recommend to extending this topic and share your thoughts about component/mount like abstraction to the code. For example notify-sender should have credentials to connect to the services. How they are delivered? as input to the :handle-action method or as as component/mount. Interesting to learn about your approach here.

Thanks for sharing!
I've done this with quinoa and it's pretty good if you can avoid burning it. The little popped grains look like adorable mini-popcorns.

I've also had pumpkin seeds pop when toasting them in the oven. They don't get the 'popped' look but it's a good indicator that they're done.
I've only met one cop as you have described, and he was mostly just frustrated because I wouldn't give him my surveillance footage without a subpoena.

What context are you meeting police officers in where they act that way? Maybe I get treated different because my ID says 'veteran'?
I use an m1 and iphone for my zoom calls :-/. AFAIK, that requires an nvidia chip.
I kind of like this idea? There's too much toxicity in online gaming these days and yes I know it's always been around I'm old and have played online since Halo 2 but it seems like people get more tilted and angry these days than I remember.

I mainly play TFT now as I enjoy the strategy and RNG aspects of the game but even there you run into people who get mad at others for playing to win.

I usually gg at the end but half the time people will curse me out if I won or just say "ez" if they beat me.
They are so cheap that i think it is unlikely that a minor edge matters
I spent all of 2022 being perpetually one to three months behind on No Agenda, and I found that this was actually a great way to listen to it. listening to analysis of world events a good month or so after they occurred was fascinating. sometimes I would be listening to an episode from two months ago and hear mention of something that was happening in the present (SBF & FBX, as an example). other times I would hear the hosts discuss a seemingly major news story that had, by the time I was listening, already be long-since forgotten.

I just finished #1500 and I'm probably going to be all caught up in the coming weeks what with holiday travel and all but yeah if anyone else wants to listen to NA but is overwhelmed with the amount of content they put out each week, I can't recommend listening a few months behind enough, for the additional dimension of interesting perspective it gives.

also, unrelated, but Hoteps BEEN Told You is another great listen, however most here will find it to be quite the acquired taste. (disclaimer: I made a website for them.)

The Back Page Podcast

A video games podcast hosted by two former games magazines journalists. Actual great discussion of games especially in the early 2000s, early 2010s and while funny they don’t go on incredibly boring, unrelated tangents like a lot of podcasts.

Twitter’s latest unexpected change is square profile pictures for brands
This is by far my favourite podcast to relax to. They're usually funny, I learn completely nonsensical, but factual, trivia and it's well edited so there are no bits where they yammer on about something.

There's also a HUGE backlog of stuff you can listen to (Currently at episode 457) and each episode has 4 facts, you can pause between each if stopping in the middle feels as wrong to you as it does to me.

They do contain a few running jokes, so listening in order is suggested but not mandatory.
The same is true of the telephone, smartphones, the internet, etc.

I didn't particularly enjoy the The Rest is Politics—can't stick Alasdair Campbell. But "The Rest is History" from the same production company is excellent.
The Michael Levin episode of the Lex Fridman podcast blew me away.

I had to pause it multiple times to let it sink in.
I've been listening obsessively to The Rest Is Politics, mainly about UK politics, but including all kinds of interesting debates.

Specific episode of Lex Fridman:

#198 – Sara Walker: The Origin of Life on Earth and Alien Worlds

This episode feels like it’s from the future. Sara introduces a completely different approach to defining life, one that feels revolutionary and appropriate.

Not the right piece for El Prado, that is focused in art, oils and sculpture; but the MAN would surely appreciate and know how to honor a jewel from... [updated, 640] the Visigoths period, where Spain was ruled by Germanic people.

TESD, Tell Em Steve Dave. But of course I'd never post this true answer under my real account as it's not high brow enough.
Yeah, some refusals look like failures of imagination.

J is "tool for thought" because there is a relatively - comparing to other languages - short distance between a thought and its implementation in the language. When e.g. somebody writes Java, her fingers used to type "for(int i = 0; i < ...; i++) {" without much thought. In J this whole construction is just hidden inside the language.
> Many paleontologists angrily reject

Just this quote immediately put me off the article. Weasel word "many" to start with (how many? Four or five? Half of them?) and followed up with emotive language (how angry were they? Perhaps they were just bored with shoddy justifications?)
If you enjoyed The Bone Clocks, consider trying the other books in that same universe. Like The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet (particularly if you enjoy its historical setting of Edo period Japan on the artificial island of Deshima where the Dutch were allowed to operate a trading post), or the shorter Slade House.

Of course Cloud Atlas is well-known and a good read.

Utopia Avenue, his latest work about a fictional band in the 1960s, is a very pleasant and frankly fun read too, although different from the others. In typical Mitchell fashion, it does loosely connect to his other works and that weird über-narrative he is building. I'm looking forward to see what he'll end up doing with that.
It sounds like you want a lot of control over the engine and don't mind writing C++. Have you considered developing your own?

The same applies to most Scala projects from the early days. It attracted many developers who just wanted to have a go at writing their own custom half-baked versions of their favorite parts of category theory for a simple line-of-business CRUD app.

I think both eventually found their niche and now have plenty of developers that stuck around write appropriate code in it. But when they were shiny and new they indeed both created their fair share of failures.
Yay, finally :=) That orange suite will go with the rest of him very nicely.
It seems to be a combination of his academic credibility and interest generated from multiple appearances on JRE, which was also likely sparked in part of he and Rogan's mutual interest in BJJ and MMA. This was previously discussed on HN[0].

> How could media bias be a problem in a free market like the USA?

Every media is biased. The free market solution is to allow anyone to be a media company, so the various viewpoints are available.

> we didn't free market hard enough

You being free to post your views here is evidence the free market is working.
> If the caller has no way to handle it, it should wrap the checked exception in an unchecked exception and throw the unchecked exception.

Not you have a new problem: How is the code calling the caller supposed to know about that exception? You can't even catch it (even if you know about it!) using normal try-catch because what you have to do is catch the wrapper exception and then check inside that for the exception type you expect via instanceof.

Checked exceptions (at least as implemented in Java) are horrible for the composability of code wrt. error handling.

That is why most libraries eschew checked exceptions these days. Unfortunately, large bits of the standard library in Java forces their hand wrt. re-wrapping stuff like InterruptedException and IOException and the like.

(Not to mention, most of the time you really shouldn't be catching exceptions in very small scopes or at the very highest level in your code. Involving every single layer in between is madness.)
It's also that there is no recognition or other incentives for developing or maintaining software in these fields. There was an article a week or so ago about a growing panic in particle physics over an important C program maintained for 40 years by a single prof who will soon retire.
I'm just an engineer with no background in finance, but didn't a fair part of the 2008 collapse come about by trusted third party risk auditing that went bad? Rather than maintaining a centrality of trust at some level, it seems intuitive that if there is a public database with trust decentralized among all the participants, there is less of a chance for that trust to be abused.
Do we have a release date yet? I know these beta releases are weekly now.
Cable was bad because of forced ads, forced bundles, no on demand, and long term contracts. None of those are seen in the streaming industry. This "streaming is cable 2.0" meme doesn't make sense to me.
I would agree. The whole currency thing is a sham. It has enabled some horrendous criminal financial activity. But when I think of state and local gov't making there ledgers public and preserving some anonymity of the payees. I see some really exciting prospects for transparency.
His everything app idea is similar to WhatsApp yes, but he's had this idea from way back, when he got the X domain. The thing I'm describing is a long term vision, you need to first be profitable with the current platform before you start that.

This book was a revelation for me. Logotherapy, or the idea of finding meaning in one’s trials and tribulations as a path to therapeutic recovery (and even becoming grateful for them), got me out of a lifelong spiral of self-pity and resentment.
I got my first real developer job in my 50s. I don't recommend this for many people. But it works for me. I am doing well.
Adam Smith was pretty clear that monopolies were antithetical to what he called a free market. If consumers had a choice, they'd consume different news, under his theory. But the market is captured by a small handful of billionaires. The US is not a free market.
OK, so the one claim about not being unique has some truth to it. Yes, they are mis-used (either mistakenly or maliciously) to some extent by people they were not assigned to, but they were never intended to be non-unique, which was the primary claim I was responding to, along with the other ones.

[edit] There is a related claim (not made above) that is correct, which is SSNs were never intended to be a secret.

When there's a global structure that has decided that those countries are not worth doing business with over the actions of their government.

That's the whole point...

You seem to be implying a value judgement I'm not making. I'm not making some random condemnation of Russia/Iran/Whoever, or extolling the virtues of western countries - I'm telling you the point of sanctioning those countries is that it's a path towards adjusting behavior by removing consent of those governed.

If the Russian/Iranian/Whoever people are happy, content, well-fed, and have easy access to luxury items... what the hell is their incentive to change how their government is acting on the international stage?

The sanctions serve to show those people providing consent that the rest of the group of nations they are interacting with are not happy.

It's a feedback mechanism that is not: "hey - we're going to kill you now". Which Western nations are using 1) because it's less expensive in terms of both capital and bodies. 2) because it's arguably more humane. 3) Because nuclear weapons have made countries averse to full war.

There's no value judgement about whether the sanctions are good or bad, or some prescriptive judgement that the west is better. It's just the clear intent of the sanctions is to make life harder for the citizenry without having to kill them.

Whether the countries making the sanctions are moral or not (in my opinion, your opinion, or that of anyone else) has fuck all to do with the functional manner in which they are being used.

Sanctions are a tool, whether that tool is being used justly has zero relation to how the tool itself functions.
To my surprise, his interview with Shapiro was also really good! I strongly disagree with Shapiro on many fronts, but his appearance on Lex's podcast is the most pleasant I've seen him act in any situation. It was fascinating.

'with the firepower to kill every police that showed up'

This claim is dubious. Police officers in Austin wear Level 3A plates which can stop 5.56 which is likely the round that AR-15 is chambered in. Landing 5 headshots in quick succession without getting taken down is something you only see in movies.
I could post my assignments in 5 minutes solving my math homework but I didn’t so is always a choice. If you could learn the way you can solve it might be an asset then it’s dependent on the final exam and also your understanding of the problems.

I understood what you meant, it's not a complex point, and it's not novel or interesting. That you can find people who are wrong about the future is not exciting.

> The issue is that you obviously don't need literally hundreds or thousands of engineers to keep Twitter generally running and providing a similar kind of service. [...] It might see a down tick in quality or outages, new features might take longer to be implemented. But that's not the service exploding and grinding to a halt.

1. That is not a "similar kind of service", it's worse service.
2. Those aren't the only things that are happening. Normal people are finding out that "the service" is more than 240 character text values (even if HN engineers disagree).
> the rich frequently engage in bottom-of-the-barrel, self-interested machinations

Of course they do. So do you, and everyone else.
This jives with my theory of what makes bad TV: bad writing. It's exactly why I've never revisited Lost, even though I loved the first few seasons. The suspense and mystery never paid off, and it was too important a piece of the entire show to bother trying again.

Oddly, Battlestar Galactica has provided a pleasant rewatch every year or two for me for the past decade. It has good writing within each episode, and even though it doesn't hold up in the final season, the writing is overall satisfying enough that I don't avoid it entirely.

I could probably write something really mean about Westworld here but I'll just instead say that it's really, really, really sad that they canceled it after season 1. I'm sure the writers would have built satisfyingly on the world established in season 1 instead of jumping off the rails and expanding into unnecessary niches of convoluted storytelling.
The US operates on a fundamentally different scale from most other countries. It's so big and diverse (in terms of both people and biomes) that the only effective way to organize is heavily federated. Fire laws in California are very different from in Tennessee. There are a few ways to accurately paint Americans in broad strokes, but not many.

I'd encourage you to travel around America a bit. Foreigners are often shocked by how nice and helpful people are here. Americans are by far the most financially charitable people in the world [1] but can be famously neighborly in many more ways than that.

How lobbyists captured the EU
HN has become The Establishment, it skews older, and thus is extremely skeptical of any change to the comfortable status quo. It's of course supremely ironic in a community that (originally) represented the Silicon Valley startup culture of Disrupt Everything.
It also refers to the previous theory as "dogma."

They also launder their corruption through "woke washing". A great example being a study by PG&E's utility-backed front that made the claim that increasing rates of solar panel installations on houses will raise costs that get shouldered by poor BIPOCs [0]. That means the state should pass net metering changes that greatly favor PG&E, and if you're against them, you're a racist. They got what they wanted.

It's interesting how upvotes or downvotes on HN are sometimes seemingly caused by how much the opinion stated is distanced from the commonly held view. This thread attracts lots of APL fans, and being critical on the approach causes downvotes. Similarly in other topics - if unusual, unpopular opinion is stated, even if it's novel and enlightening, it could be frown upon as well.
That’s what I’ve seen. Some super expensive gear works often but having various devices with various chipsets seems the way to go.
Thank you for the feedback. We are actually planning to have a second repo created that mirrors the main repo soon!
