> I hope that more people do this and share the experience. Everyone needs to hear this story.

Surely you meant people who desire to transition? If I could have that experience in a completely temporary way without messing up my hormones, I might. But I like being a man and don’t want to mess up my health just to experience that. It’s not the same as recommending more people try meditation or volunteering with disabled children. Those things can change your worldview without totally altering your body chemistry.

It’s great that you want to do this and are able to. But I think most people don’t want to.
The animals which are scavengers have more acidic stomachs than those which eat live prey, and the latter have more acidic stomachs than those which are herbivores.

This is consistent with the supposition that low pH is needed to kill some pathogens.

An interesting fact is that humans have a stomach pH in the scavenger range. This is consistent with the supposition that, before becoming the most successful hunters of this planet, for a long time humans had been mainly scavengers, who scared the other scavengers and predators by throwing sticks and stones, and then consumed completely the leftovers by breaking the long bones and the skulls with stones.
Even if you start from the premise that the virus was {created, isolated, modified} in a Chinese lab, it makes no sense for it to be intentionally released the way it started spreading, namely in the middle of a major Chinese city.
There is a very simple, end-of-discussion type argument why shipping Vim as the default editor is a terrible idea: Because its user interface differs significantly from how every other program on the system works.

You can have all kinds of fruitful or fruitless debates about whether there is some deeper sense in which Vim is a "superior" editor, but there is no sensible reason for it to be the default, ever. Conventions matter. Don't surprise me. That's literally UX design 101. If a single program sticks out like a sore thumb because every keyboard shortcut suddenly means something different than it does in all other programs installed by default, that program is the problem.

Replacing Vi(m) with Nano in the standard install was one of the most important UX decisions made by the major distros in recent years, and I can only attribute to blatant arrogance from some of the decision makers that it took so long in the first place.
> If you're going to be buying a laptop to leave it plugged into the mains the whole time when doing intensive tasks

Well, this is how most people use laptops, isn't it? The main benefit of portability is that you can move to another location in between the tasks, with little to no set up and teardown, and without having to suspend or power off the machine. Few people do anything on their laptops while walking around - the usual use case is taking your computer to a meeting room or a cafe, and the first order of business for anyone is usually to find a power outlet.
Or just do what public policy did for medicine in the last five years.
The craziness is that this company is indeed still performing really well in terms of revenue and growth. And yet investors are selling their shares. Presumably at a loss. And probably it's a really good investment opportunity at this point. I actually bought some mor shares a few weeks ago. Short term that's obviously not working out for me but I have good hopes longer term.

It's still a good market to be producing batteries and electrical vehicles in. Tesla is still a market leader in that market. They've got production capacity, supply chains, etc. working just fine with more capacity coming online. It's still growth market. Nothing has changed really other than people's perceptions. And those can change again.

It does raise the question: why are people selling shares at a loss? Who are these people? Why are they panicking so much that they'll take the loss? It's not very rational behavior. Which suggests an answer that maybe there are some people with a financial interest in this manipulating the markets.

Either way, I expect Elon Musk might be buying some shares back at a discount just to make a point. There has been talk of buying back shares by Tesla in any case so there is plenty of support for that among share holders. At the current prices of the shares, that might actually not be the worst way to spend a few billion. And slightly evil of Elon Musk as well. So, entirely in character. Sell shares to buy Twitter, cause chaos there, watch Tesla's stock price collapse, buy back some Tesla shares at a discount, stock price goes back up again and Tesla continues making money and growing like nothing happened. Win win. Maybe Twitter survives all this. Maybe it won't. But does it matter if he comes out making a profit?
I think they're alluding to the conflict over whether the various different types of sex-segregated spaces should be kept as-is, be separated by gender identity instead, or have any such restrictions removed entirely to become gender neutral.

> It costs like 100 euros to buy a fake ID that'll work at any bank in Germany. This is a bizarre trope oft-repeated on HN by techies who think that banks actually verify chipped ID cards, they do not. And even if they did, they have to accept a plenty of EU IDs which do not have chips.

I'm not talking about the eID chip, that isn't verified indeed - but at least in my experience, when opening a bank account in person, they do diligent checks, for non-German cards they even have a database how different nations' ID cards should look like and what the security markings are.

Video-Ident aka holding your ID card into your webcam is indeed vulnerable, and banks like N26 got in really hot water, which forced them to ramp up their anti-fraud measures to a degree even legitimate customers got massively impacted [1].

> On the same forum you will find people selling Kleinanzeigen accounts, and DHL insiders creating fake tracking IDs for Kleinanzeigen scams.

Yes, dark markets exist. But their scale, still, is vastly lower than the US, where you have shit like virtually all Americans' information being sold online that is necessary to open lines of credit and do other kinds of fraud. Stuff like tax refund scams or SSN's being abused by illegal immigrants simply does not exist here (again: at least not at a relevant scale), because we have modern systems in place.

> This isn't true at all. Those scams happen, but they're the minority. You can search for "OB Cashing" on crimemarket, that's the term of art they use for calling up grandmothers and convincing them to empty their bank accounts.

The classic scams are the majority, and yet even these they yield the scammers only something like 13 million euros a year [2], that's laughable compared to the amount Americans lose, even if one assumes that only a tenth of the cases gets reported at all.

And again: entire classes of scams like "I got arrested and need bail money" or "I was involved in a traffic accident and need to pay the hospital cash advance for treatment" don't work here because we don't have cash bail or bills from hospitals and people know that. If you would try this scam on any European, they'd laugh you off because they know that this doesn't exist.

You don't have to license USB, you just need a VID. The USB-IF is planning to enforce some of the labels with trademark law, but (for example) for the Nintendo Switch Nintendo often didn't mention that the connector was USB-C, so that wouldn't work.
There are only 1.5 billion arable hectares of land. There are people with ridiculously small plots of land which exclusively produce 150kg of rice that they eat.

2 hectares does not meet basic food and material requirements, it goes way beyond that, it includes meat consumption of at least one or two whole pigs.

I'm not appealing to anyone. I'm just stating his argument since he was one of the main guys at Tesla working on this problem.

He might have a point, he might not. I stated the obvious problems with it in my original comment.
except when you have a different locale and language, and half your office suite have the original shortcuts, and the other half is translated like:

ctrl + a (abrir, open in Portuguese) instead of select all, that is moved to ctrl + t (tudo, all in Portuguese), and many others.

So, universally for English/US I guess.

Don't Use Shared_ptr's Aliasing Constructor
Oh nice, this is really great to know. Unfortunately, this example was one of the most prominent, we had similar issues at murder hole beach [0] where the access was cut off by a bull in the field, and a few miles away from that, a walk that was built and funded by the council but had access removed after a dispute with the land owner [1]. And we've had similar experiences in Galway, Dublin, Kildare, Waterford,Wexford, Cork and Kerry over the past few years.

Spin up your development background processes with ease
Porter is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that makes it easy to run background services by adding a few lines to a configuration file. These services are managed by Supervisord, a process control system that ensures that all processes are kept up and running. With Porter, you don't have to manually start and manage background services in multiple terminal tabs. Instead, you can simply use the porter command to manage all of your services in a single place.
> Is it really true that children are so easily indoctrinated?

It certainly is. You can easily single out rebellious children under a certain doctrine. You can reduce the numbers just by punishment. They might still be rebellious afterwards, but they are also isolated in society as a result also adding to the spiral.

It is hard to deconstruct the frame you are living in.
> And there’s no “favorite”/“default” binding in terminal.

There is.

There is the EDITOR environment variable and the alternatives editor. They will be used when a program triggers an interaction that uses a text editor (e.g., mutt, git and more) instead of manually opening an editor yourself.

There are also distributions that only ship with a minimal set of editors, forcing you to install different ones. This might also be considered a "default" editor by lots of people.

edit: if you consider a "default binding" only one for manually opening a text file, then you are right, but I don't think that is what people talk about when referencing a "default text editor"
You can kill windows using alt+f4 on your typical Linux Desktop (Gnome, KDE, etc). Same for ctrl+x/c/v.

It's different for programs running in terminals / terminal emulators for technical reasons. Terminals are not GUIs, they are simple devices with a single byte stream for input (displayed on screen) and output (sent from keyboard) that are interpreted quite literally. E.g. the byte ASCII 'A' will normally result in an 'A' being displayed whereever the terminal cursor happens to be. Typing 'A' on the keyboard will result in 'A' being sent out to the OS. Ctrl+(A-Z) will send the byte values 1 through 26. E.g. Ctrl+C will result in ASCII 3 (0b00000011), aka ETX (End of Text), which will normally be converted by the OS's terminal subsystem into a SIGINT signal that is sent to the "foreground" process running in the terminal. Or, if the terminal is in raw mode, the byte 3 will be read as-is by whoever reads the terminal keyboard. Same goes for ctrl+z (normally SIGSTOP is sent) etc.

Terminal apps can't expect a running clipboard service. There may not be a display or graphics environment running on that machine. The app might run on remote machine. Etc.

Notice how Windows Cmd isn't entirely intuitive about those basic cut&past things, either.
What’s with the overuse of emojis, though?
> Nano would not help me in such a situation: but vim did it with no complaints; all I needed to know was the incantation.

Nano can do regexp search and replace. I think the problem with nano is the menu in the bottom because it makes people think that it's the only things it can do when in fact it's really powerful.
no, and it is not something I worry about to be honest.

It appears humans are more sensitive to fresh rain on dry soil than sharks are to blood in the water. Fun to think of the evolutionary pressures there.

From the wiki, humans detect at 0.4 ppb and it appears sharks are at about 1 ppm. I can't find a proper source, but several articles say about a teaspoon of blood to an olympic swimming pool. https://www.sharktrust.org/shark-senses
If we don't do it on a massive scale, it won't help with global warming.

Also, the risks of global warming are somewhat understood. The risks of this are not - it could help, or it could be much worse than even global warming.

Like in medicine, the principle has to be First, do no harm. The current approach seems to be akin to coming up with a new substance that you think cures diabetes based only on molecular chemistry, and sneaking it into a diabetic's food - "diabetes is known to be dangerous.

What exactly is meant by the notion of "vim-like functionality with modeless editing"?
Ah this was very helpful to understand. Maybe after the next civil war...
You're incorrect.

The simple fact is, unrestrained capitalism is ugly.

A company that has become wildly successful will equally hold a lot of financial power. The same company is often likely to engage in lobbying .. exchanging that fiscal power for actual political power.

Without regulations we end up living in world driven by the singular need to make more and more money.

These corporations are not able to factor the good of human kind into their plan because that's got nothing to do with their very reason for existence.

Regulation is the only way we can address this.
By that logic we should just make "ed" the default editor. It's more like every other line oriented CLI interface element in the system than Nano is.
All nice things eventually end and current world peace will probably end one day too. If we want to preserve our technological advancements through civilisation ending disasters then people should start working on enabling anyone to manufacture chips easily.

It goes without saying, I hope, that if you do accidentally call the emergency services you should stay on the phone until you speak to someone and explain the situation.

I think at some level specialists need to become generalists, or they will get stuck.

For a junior backend engineer, it might be okay to not know much about UX design, front end development, database administration, etc.

But at a certain level, you need to know about all the fields outside of your specialization as well. You need to understand why you are doing what you are doing, or you'll end up doing a bad job at it.

Full engineering tests. In medical devices it's called V&V, verification and validation.

Ego shooter is a common word in german, and I did not know that it wasn't used in english. I recently saw a post on HN about using stylometry to find users with alternate accounts[1], with some comments saying that it didn't work for them, because english wasn't their native language, and it was simply finding other people who probably also had the same native language. I've been wondering how exactly that worked, and I guess this kind of thing is an example.

Exactly, in many safety critical areas its required by law. It's way more than 30-50% though. In medical devices it's 4x-10x.

Not just those. Odds are shift+del to cut, crtl+insert to copy, shift+insert to paste still work in the browser text area you use to write comments.

Why would anybody die during the transition? Especially if we do the transition as quickly as possible, we will be adding new resources to the grid while existing fossil fuel resources are still there.

Slightly Improving Mailcow Security
Brethren, this is I.

In a $bigcorp this is a problem because a lot of people don't want problems solved. Instead of being glad a problem is solves they will get pissed you stepped on their toes. Something that takes maybe 30min for me to do, some person/team expects me to wait weeks, months or years for them to do it. Problem is, I am not in IT-proper,devops or SWE. I work in security so "problems" are stuff that can land us on a news headline so I do piss people off and fix stuff.

Interviews are also hard. They try to put me in some bucket and it is difficult. If I mention something I had to do to get something done, suddenly they think that's all I should do.

I am on my second job right now(in a row) where they had to create a new job title for me. But in the last few years, the infosec world has adapted a bit and now there are titles for people like me. "The guy that gets a lot of access and does whatever to catch/stop/respond to intruders".

It is also the hardest for people of this personality to appear to be teamworkers. If I collaborate with someone (let's say an incident response task) and I am done with my tasks and they're taking their time, I have to take over their task and finish it. In a bigcorp this is a problem because everyone wants credits and visibility. So for the actual team members I look good but for managers not so much. They see me as a liability unless I am careful and solve problems quietly and let others take credit when possible. But the person whose task I took over or mistake I fixed gets angry, doesn't matter how nicely I do things.

This was so not a problem in a startup culture (unless you create work for others).
