dude... yes and i'll give you 3 examples:

my father: was bankrupt in the real estate crash of 1990. Started all over as a commercial mortgage broker not knowing how to do the business worth a damn and became VERY successful at it. Got lucky when a client wanted him to manage a bunch of commercial properties for him. He bought the properties from the bank, rehabbed them and sold them for millions. Retired off it, still does commercial loans for kicks but travels the world.

my brother: lost everything in a bitter divorce and worked jobs as a mortgage broker getting screwed over every steps of the way for YEARS. Finally landed a job with a bank doing loans for them and made a KILLING from it. Owns multiple houses and is VERY well off. Could retire today if he wanted at 47.

me: Had a huge issue with alcohol and drugs and lost everything at 39. Got completely screwed over by my business partner, fired from my 18 year job, got divorced and had to pay alimony for 4 years. Finally landed a wonderful remote job 2 years ago, met the woman of my dreams, moved in with her and have more money and security now then I have EVER had in my life. And to top it off I just celebrated 7 years sober in November.

Time is only perception... Fear is the only thing that keeps you from moving forward... You are stronger than you know.
Maybe a better classification would be "amazing languages" vs "good enough ubiquitous languages" :)
> You like lock them up, sterilise them, use them for experiments.

Not withstanding that your commentary has nothing to do with the article, as an Australian I am going to request some more information on this.

Australia is by no means a perfect country, but your phrasing suggests that First Nations people are currently sterilised or used for experiments. That may have been the case, but hasn't been for many decades.

Additionally, First Nations people have access to substantial government programs, including free higher education, welfare and housing programs, and specialised medical support. So please, with less inflamatory rhetoric and more fact, how can you possibly compare Australia with District9 (which was itself more accurately a reflection of apartheid South Africa, not Australia)?
Thanks for setting my personal record straight!

Also, thanks for answering my "in touch" billionaires question yesterday. The link you provided was a very pleasant read. [0]

And finally, thanks for making me take the dust cover off of my midi keyboard! [1]

Best interactions I've had on this site in a while.

Cheers

The media is dirt cheap, but doing the backup is fraught. I think only Time Machine actually "solved" that usability problem and frankly kept me on Apple products longer than I would otherwise have endured. I still don't know the right way to backup a Windows 10 machine that doesn't involve hours of research, testing, tradeoffs and probably $$$.
"Ambien Walrus: come with me on an adventure you'll never remember"

I think you're on to something! All that jetsetting around and working in multiple timezones is going to be harsh. Can't fall asleep on the flight to Qatar and gotta be up in 6 hours to make a public appearance and watch the game? Why not take a little Ambien, what's the worst that could happen?
We're all on a different journey. Another recommendation, read the book "Bird by Bird." It is about writing, but I think it will help you put take one step at a time. You have to learn to choose small things to do towards your goal, and to feel proud of yourself for taking small steps. You can do this.

I'm sure many of the other recommendations have merit re: seeing a therapist. That route didn't work for me, this is how I live my life, bird by bird and it helped me go from suicidal feelings to being able to feel some pride and acceptance of myself and enjoy life again. I am in 40s
Top Boomtowns in America – 2022 Edition
What commercial classes did you take to level up? Were they Coursera, Udacity or university classes?
I agree that Emacs 29 contains many improvements, thanks to all of the developers and documentation writers.

I am more excited by Emacs 30, mostly I like the ahead of time compilation of Lisp code.
A lot of unsubstantiated takes coming out in the comments on this one.
I like to pay an extra 50 Million, for the "Deluxe" package where there are 10 extra boosters on my ship and I go 20x Faster, and age _even slower_ while travelling faster than my colleagues.
The day/night propagation differences pretty much govern amateur radio as well. "Greyline" effect around dusk or dawn also greatly enhances propagation, as more signal paths open up for some frequencies.
Thanks for the info, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I just never commented enough to trigger it until recently. But if you say 5p/3h, then that is at least a one hour shorter timer that I'm seeing which is a plus
A warning to those who may be bothered by it (as I am) - while the article is nice, it's hosted on a Christian radio website, and the top banner boldly declares how many "Prayers to End Abortion" there have been (however that's calculated...). I would not have wanted to contribute my visit count to this website.
Yes. I completely turned around my life at 42. By being in touch with my true self, I’ve become more happy and successful than I’ve been in my life. Everything is so much better now.
You don't say your religious background, but these life issues are exactly the sort many Churches (or the analogue) have resources to help with. One on ones with someone who is either a trained therapist or has some counseling skills as a pastor. Mens groups in similar life stages to meet for meals and talk or study scriptures together. It really is a support network.
Very clever. Even if the smart-contract language used in the blockchain isn't Turing-complete, one can still implement an universal Turing machine by using the blockchain itself as a "tape" and cleverly constructed transactions as the "instructions." Turing completeness is hard to prevent!
They’re terrible, and as bad as you think. Those are PFCs in a can.

Look for Nikwax brand, which makes waterproofing products that are all PFC-free
Apple Music includes the old iTunes Match features

It does not - it’s a separate subscription, though you can use both at once.

https://www.theregister.com/2000/12/27/win2k_for_alpha_alive...

Seems to indicate that the Release Candidate 3 builds for Alpha never made it out through official channels. I'm pretty sure beta and RC was one disc per flavor and architecture though: so x86 professional, x86 server, etc, and alpha pro/server/etc. A big bundle of discs would come from Redmond.

I know nt4 had all the archs on the release disc, but I don't think that was the plan for win2k
There's actually nothing wrong with flipping burgers. In my opinion it's more useful then what a vast number of highly paid people do for work.
> I don't consider that cheating. Others may feel differently.

This is the wrong focus, imo. You can ask "is it cheating?" as you do. Alternatively you could ask "but is this learning? Is it helping my kids grasp the subject better?"

Tools, "augmented thinking", etc. are all concerns regarding getting something done. But the goal for your kids is learning.
It might make sense to link the FCC website[0] directly instead of this blog post which is equal parts copying from the FCC website and advertising its own service.

I think it's understandable that someone wouldn't expect to need a backup of their music library. At a bare minimum, I would expect iTunes to keep both versions of a file if an identical one can't be retrieved from Apple servers.

People that care enough to keep a library of music after the popularity of Spotify are the same people to leave the ecosystem permanently when this kind of stuff happens.
Are you going down the rabbit-hole of every shadowbanned user you find, or just investigating dead posts that you don't think should be dead? It's possible your sample is experiencing selection bias.

When I find users I think are unfairly shadowbanned I vouch for their posts, try to inform them they are shadowbanned and/or reach out to moderators with an ask to reconsider.
I haven't experienced that, I get random locations that are no where close to my real location in incognito google searches. I have Google Maps on android as well.

My IPv6 address (/128) changes get changed by the OS every time wifi gets disconnected and prefix (/64) get changed every week or when the router restarts.
Look inwards at your emotions, observe them. Find where they are located, in the body. Analyse them. Learn to recreate those feelings by thinking and moving the body in just the right way. Our emotions work like our hands or legs, they are physical, you can learn to see them analyse them and ultimately control them. You have a problem where reflexive muscular memories are being triggered at a level below your awareness, creating emotions you have no need for. Dig into them bring them into awareness and shut down the ones that are not useful to you. Work out what you want. Of you don't know what you want, make that your goal. Meditate on it, draw, write, speak all of it. You need that moment of fight that you get when you are threatened. Do not be ashamed of that response or imagine it to be inappropriate or useless. Embrace those feelings that get you where you want to go and cast aside those which do not serve you. It's not easy, but at the bottom of all of us is a place of total belief, of complete power. Use that self that will not give in, give it power.
> The only thing I'm looking for is support for GCP

Glad you like Shuttle! What do you mean exactly by support for GCP? Shuttle right now is built on AWS but that is mostly abstracted away from you. Do you want to use GCP products (say BigQuery) or do you want to host Shuttle on your own GCP project?
Didn't see your comment before making mine - but yes - I think it is
indistinguishable from a ransomware attack in every way except for who
is doing it and the fact that unlike cybercriminals to whom you can
pay bitcoin to restore your files, Apple will almost certainly refuse
and prosecute you for trying to restore your data. So yes, worse
than a ransomware attack. I simply cannot understand how big tech
companies get away with their behaviour.
This is too dismissive.

How many times have you seen ads for Gore-Tex anything? How many waxed canvas coats are you able to find in normal outdoor shops or in normal clothing retailers?

There is a lot of money in outdoor gear and it is all being spent on pushing high tech solutions.

You basically have to go out of your way to find some grandpa shop or 'out of fashion' clothing (mostly shops selling hunting clothing/gear) to find reasonable alternatives.
Agreed. But analysis of data requires context, and good baselines.

And point (1) of my list is based off of not just a general feeling, but comparing it to cities who are touted as being “safe”. And their numbers are incredibly low.
This 100%. People are acting like HN has stricter moderation than reddit.

These people must not hold any views reddit tries to censor. I make a lot of anti-vaxx comments, and on HN my account has never been shadowbanned. I'm able to say what I want even though it might be downvoted and eventually become hidden.

On any mainstream subreddit there's a 90% chance I'll be banned for life. And 10% chance I'll get a shadowban - and 0% chance if a mod sees an anti-vaxx comment they won't remove it. On reddit you post in a sub mainstream mods don't like, and I get automated messages that I'm banned for /r/pics, /r/news, /r/cats automatically without even interacting with them. The only subreddits I can talk freely are removed, quarantined or don't have enough users for any site-wide mods to notice. Compared to HN it's an authoritarian hellhole over there.
Precisely. If it fails, it's possible to replace its integration by manually adding one or more of the payment processors directly; but it never holds your money itself, unlike PayPal or Stripe.
> Wheat is sold by weight not nutrient density

Not exactly. Weight is used as a price multiplier, but nutrient density is one of the factors that goes into establishing the per unit price. I grow wheat in a climate that struggles to produce high protein content and absolutely see a reduced price when my product doesn't meet the grade.
I think the alternative social media is already there, but it will come with new faces like TikTok. It just delivers more dopamine per second than the model of Twitter and Mastodon. Platforms like Twitter, Facebook and co will stay, but I believe they will never experience as much growth again. I think Facebook actually saw that coming and therefore it expanded a lot in growing markets and provided infrastructure. This could actually work long term for them.
try getting a little exercise every day, meditating for a few minutes every day. It makes a difference.

Psychedelics have changed my outlook and life. I recommend looking into them.
There's no reason the code can't be sandboxed, Turing-completeness is a feature not a bug (nor is undecidability a real problem), and non-deterministic behavior where it's undesirable is just a potential hazard in the real world. No system can avoid it unless that system never interacts with the outside world.
Disagree that this is even the question. The role of "founder" is mostly tangential to the discussion - rather it's the "owner" that Marxists would argue don't deserve their wealth (and if it's the same person, you have to separate the roles in your head - the 'founder' role produce some irreplaceable value, while the 'owner' role is easily replaced.)

The fact that automation makes your firm exponentially more productive over time doesn't contradict Marx at all. That's just a premise he borrows from classical economics to then argue why that leads to bad stuff, in his view. It seems like maybe PG is taking issue with the labor theory of value or something? In which case... /shrug, that's ok, get in line with the rest of us?

What's really happening here though is PG isn't familiar with the discourse whatsoever, so he makes a weird scattered argument and smugly attributes some strawman opinion to Marxists, then gets mad at the reaction. Trying to make sense of it as if he knows what he's talking about just kinda leads to insanity.

e: I'm also not claiming to have some deep knowledge of Marxism at all... I've read like 1 or 2 chapters of Capital. It's just that, like I said above, you just have to have basic familiarity to realize PG speaks from his ass.
I believe it's called light phobia. not that I'm afraid of light but I run from bright overbearing light if I can.

I understand light backgrounds may be better if you can handle it but I don't think I'll ever be able to, except when wearing rose tinted glasses I have to block light.
Hey you there, whatever it is you're not doing by reading this- go do the thing.
The “Bitcoin” people have that saying, cautioning people about wallet ownership and the danger of cloud wallets: “Not your keys, not your coins.”

I think we need a clever saying to rattle off every time someone gets burned by relying 100% on a cloud service (either the software screws up user data or suspends their account, without recourse) without backups/alternates.

Not your drive, not your data?

I don’t know, I’m not creative.
My friend is in his 60s who is not very technical, but is very into music. He has 1000s of (purchased) CDs and vinyl.

He has ripped a lot of it onto a local hard drive. I can see how he might think Apple Music _is_ a backup of those files. It seems a failing of modern technology that he needs to understand backup in the sense of bits on a magnetic disk is different to being able to access the files as a network stream. I imagine many tech companies are quite happy to let the confusion continue.

Overdoing it with one mechanism then compensating for that with some other mechanism is so like biology though. Biology is like a junior programmer who is rushing to meet a deadline. If it can slap a bandaid on somewhere instead of refactoring, it will nearly always do that.
It seems pretty straightforwardly wrong actually.
> limiting the pool of potential backend tasks with which a client task interacts.

Most people don’t seem to understand than you need to reheat corn tortillas in a dry skillet, and therefore think corn tortillas are bad because they’ve only eaten dry mealy versions.

It’s like eating day old rice cold out of the refrigerator and saying that it doesn’t taste good, like yeah, it doesn’t.

Corn tortillas prepared fresh are delicious and if you haven’t had them then that’s a shame.
How is this a bad thing?
FTA: “Their working is quite simple: the arithmetic is as if performed in the set of mathematical integers and then the value is written to result. If it fits, the return value is false. If it doesn’t fit, the return value is true”*

They also give example code

bool add_invalid = ckd_add(&result_add, a, b);

I can see that fits with “most of the time, anything positive means ‘no error’”, for example in malloc, write, read or printf, but these new functions return bool, not int, and the chosen method will require writing a double negation sometimes:

if(!add_invalid) { … }

That’s not too bad, but if I were to see

if(!ckd_add(&result_add, a, b)) { … }

I would expect that to test for failure, not success.

Because of that, I think I would have chosen to return true on success, false on failure. I’m curious as to what arguments led to the choice made.
I think Apple Maps looks to be starting to accumulate its own set of reviews. It has a ratings feature where you can review overall thumbs up or thumbs down and can upload your own photos of the place. It contributes to apple using your AppleID email. There's small fine print

Same here. The article itself is pretty good, but everything alongside it is... not for me.
Missing from that piece: with all their ideas of raising prices and lowering their show quality, why do they expect consumers to stay around?
It's amazing how the body is reacting to a high DNA damage environment by making lifespans shorter (I'm not saying this is happening intentionally mind you, just that somehow the body is reacting "appropriately"), thus ensuring the species overall has a better chance, even if the individual in question is losing out.
I don't think this is actually true. I have a bunch of obscure music in my library that isn't "matched", and while it is transcoded to AAC, it doesn't have DRM in it and can be downloaded and played on a second Mac in VLC or IINA.
When GPM launched, there was definitely no deduplication in place. Even if two users uploaded the same file, there would be two copies — more if you count replication and RS-encoding. It was so because... somebody ordered so.

Perhaps things changed later, but I'm skeptical, because the "somebodies" never change. Also, as recently as a couple of years ago, I noticed broken metadata/cover art in my library that I actually wish YTM would fix for me. I suspect it's more likely that the original bits were/are still in there somewhere and some UI made it harder to get to them. With YTM, accessing your own MP3s is a bit convoluted. I'll give it a shot later tonight, to see if I can download some music that I know to have specific metadata and bitrates.
IETF RFC2217 defines a Telnet extension providing serial port functionality. It was initially intended to be used with modems, serial printers, fax machines and similar equipment, but it provides the ability to connect any serial based device to the network.

Why should I detest things that usually serve their intended purpose really well?

I actually like macOS on my MacBook Pro, I don’t have to tinker with it to keep it working like my Linux desktop.

I’ve been frustrated with iOS but I originally switched because I was tired of my phone being randomly off or otherwise having some unexpected behavior causing it to be unreliable.

I can understand why other people prefer Windows, Linux or Android. How can it be mystifying why some might prefer macOS or iOS?
This state of affairs is predicated on the power the federal government has to influence people's lives and livelihoods. When the feds can take away your abortion or your guns and create and destroy entire industries with the stroke of a pen it should come as no surprise that people elect based on party platform rather than choosing politicians who they think will actually represent their interests.

> They are group trainings that only last 25 mins.

For a good 20 years - from early teens through mid 30s - I began and eventually quit various workout and gym routines, memberships, etc because I couldn't find the time or because I would dread going so much I'd invent any excuse in my mind to avoid them.

My mistake was assuming I needed to go for an hour or more at a time, and also that I needed to do 20-30 minutes of cardio.

It wasn't until my mid 30s that I realized I wouldn't dread it so much if I limited my workouts to 20-30 minutes max, and that I didn't need cardio (which I despise) and instead could just do some compound free weights exercise - just 4 or 5 simple lifts. Maybe 2-3 sets of 5 every other day.

Since then, I enjoy going and have been consistent about it for years.

Therapy can save your life.

The professional is there not to be a regular person to know, but someone to who you can emote and feel openly your hardest things you hold inside. This expression of those things makes them less haunting and distracting inside yourself. This technique does not necessarily fix your material problems, but it allows you to clear the way within you to take them on.

It is not for everyone, and it is worth a try when you are feeling hopeless.

There are lots of good online therapy things now. Although I’d recommend doing in person if you can because the latency of emotional exchange is much higher in the space of the world. Even still the online work can be hugely beneficial.

Even if your worldview has left you bereft, your body deserves a chance to reformulate your mind for this opportunity at existence.
