When contemplating a future investment into learning something, I like to consider the long-term benefits. Do we believe that command lines will become more or less important in the following years? My bet is that they will continue to fade over time, as they have been for years (decades?). I don't think there's much sense to invest more than the minimum unless there's a specific use case in mind.
No. My monetary spend to any one vendor is immaterial. Doesn’t move the needle. If you want change, laws and regulation are the only path.
I wish more people would remember this.
I don't buy the "if it's open source we can see/audit/trust the service" argument.

1. Bugs get missed all of the time in OSS. There is no guarantee that the more eyes the better, and in fact there may be a negative correlation due to the bystander effect [citation needed].

2. A software service is a complex interaction between many pieces of software. Two perfectly secure, audited pieces of software could interact in an exploitable way.

3. Just because the service provider tells you "this is the code, this is how we keep you secure, etc." doesn't mean it's true in practice. A bad actor could modify the code in production before the next version of "audited, trusted, OSS" is vetted.

4. Security practices outside of the code also matter (arguably more so), and even an organization with good policies can fail to follow them at times.

Ultimately, we're trusting the people behind the services we use to be honest and do their best. It seems that LastPass has demonstrated they aren't as deserving of that trust lately, but THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN AT ANY ORGANIZATION.

I'd say that's a bit orthogonal - command line tools are also hiding underpinnings from you. The issue is about the UX, not the functionality. Seemingly every command line tool has built it's own language of incantations on how to use it. I've been using grep, tar, curl, find, xargs etc. at least a few times per week for over a decade now now. I shouldn't have to look at the man pages this regularly just to remember the letters I need to type on something I've done 30 times before.

I don't have this problem with the equivalent libraries in the programming languages I use, give me 'easy mode'. We need new binaries with a modern UX, or a better IDE for using the command line.

Replying to your edited comment...

I understood your comment as saying that veganism is seen as an extreme act.

But veganism is far from that. Veganism isn't dogmatic. It's pragmatic as per the official definition.

E.g. if you are on a hike and you get lost and have to survive by hunting, even though you usually don't eat animals - you could still call yourself vegan - because you need to hunt to survive.

Or something simpler - if you have your own chickens and eat their eggs and you don't intend to slaughter the chickens later on- I'd class that as vegan, because you're not harming the chickens.

But I agree with you - people who promote veganism as a dogmatic philosophy can be seen as extreme.
Companies marketing departments do not go around creating a list of issues with their products unless a government mandates they do so (rx meds, nicotine, liquor).

I am unaware of Apple listing limitations of any of their technologies. Could you provide a few examples?
> Based on my research these abstractions are designed for this.

Those two are general purpose abstractions aimed at organizing code. They can certainly be used for this, just like they can be used for anything.
I also understand this, I just wish Amazon had a shopping cart so I could use my single use card only one time.
But you can tell that it's happening. And also it's still only half, and not the entire internet, because human marketers don't scale as much as AI.
I agree, but I disagree with your statement about being way safe.

Research doesn't account for what happens when baby is in the crib and it doesn't sleep.

So sure, you might have avoided SIDS, but the baby might die because the parent fell asleep while standing with the baby in their arms.

P. S. Again sorry for my tone, I'm super angry for how the entire medicine treats Co-sleeping like a horrific thing

So the research from my perspective is highly insufficient to prove anything.

And yes, you can sleep while standing in the subway, by the way.
It's all local. u/danielrpa was referring to local conditions, and so was u/synu.
> If one really wants small form factor and lower power consumption why not choose a pine64, orange pi or radxa boards? Yes, certain features like hdmi(on Quartz64), or hardware accelerated video encode/decode is only supported in older kernels, but if one needs a generic network box even fairly new Linux kernels work.

To not play "what the fuck doesn't work on it" lottery. Over years I had a bunch of different boards and it is always something that needs proprietary drivers that inevitably are pinned to some old kernel, or just something doesn't work very well.

Now rPi4 still isn't 100% supported in upstream kernel but just installing raspbian just works.

Same with all expansion boards, they will generally need only a little configuration on rPi but anything else is crapshoot.

> but if one needs a generic network box even fairly new Linux kernels work.

There are dedicated ones with multiple NICs for that purpose, both ARM and x86.
Absolutely. Kagi, brave are two popular ones if the top of my head.
That's not inherent to rural/urban, that's just good soundproofing. A badly soundproofed house won't help anymore with a neighbor's shitty leafblower than a badly soundproofed apartment will help with a car's backfire in the street.

Under the existing framework of zoning, you were able to find a place that well met your preferences and you never ever*4 plan to leave. From that place of extreme contentment, you conclude that zoning laws in other places need to change (emphasis yours). Interesting.
> Boswelia, which helped this author, is frankincense

The author very narrowly cites BosPro,[1] which is a gum extract of Boswellia serrata, or Indian frankincense. Specifically, it claims to have high levels of AKBA (Acetyl-11-Keto-β-Boswellic Acid),[2] an antioxidant with vascular remodeling properties.[3]

It probably came up in Dr. Spray-n-pray's treatments because of studies that suggested AKBA could bind to SARS-CoV-2 proteins, but were inconclusive on whether they were effective treatments.[4]

The author dismisses the inspecific "inflammation" response from that doctor, but considering that the inflammations AKBA seems to often be found effective as a potential treatment are often related to either severe cardiac issues or neurological inflammation - including MS - I'm naively, but more than a little, concerned for the author.

The doctors might have understandably been focused on the author's digestive/GI health, but as noted in the article the brain/GI connection goes very deep. Early-onset symptoms of MS are often digestive in nature.[5]

Quick warning about Lenovo systems, you should reconsider using them if you intend on swapping any cards inside of the system (like WiFi, for instance).

Many Lenovos are bios locked to prevent upgrading the system to either products that Lenovo doesn't personally sell or specific products that are in a hard-coded whitelist in the BIOS.

The system will boot loop with a warning message if it detects a non-whitelisted device attached to the PCIe bus.

I do not know if they have discontinued this practice, but if you want to, say, add a 10gig ethernet adapter to the device or upgrade the WiFi for use as a media pc you should check the specific system to see if that is an issue with it before buying this system and go with an HP or Dell or something first.

Boo hoo.

US cities are abysmal. Chronic underfunding of public transit and bad zoning policies that make it illegal to build dense means that we have some of the most unlivable and exclusive cities in the developed world.

People are speaking with their actions. No one wants to deal with commuting downtown anymore. The expense, the time, the stress, just to further line the pockets of a small number of already incredibly rich rent seekers.

Forget it, I am done and 100 more submarine articles will not get me back.

I've been pretty interested in this field for awhile.

Has anyone participated in an fMRI study? I'm curious how they do this in such a large machine.

I've been interested in conducting ECG based studies at scale on people as they learn activities, but the equipment available (mindwave neurosky type headsets) is somewhat primitive.
Trust is a necessity, not authority. Those with authority are often not trustworthy.
That's kind of how I use my Surface Pro. I keep it docked on the desk and carry it with me if I need it to be portable. If I could build/buy a computer this size with an integrated screen and one or two PCI slots in the back, I'd be all over that.

Several years ago I built a few "lunchbox" style portable-ish PCs by bolting a monitor on the side of a SFF desktop, adding feet and a handle, and integrating a power strip so I only needed one power cord. I'd like to try that again with updated components. Think Compaq Portable III[0] but with a micro ATX or mini ITX.

Leaning strongly towards self-hosting. Name brand cloud managers just make too juicy a target for sophisticated attackers regardless of their competence/care of the pass manager co.

I know it's got a bit of security via obscurity vibes, but I've concluded the combo of residential IP, wireguard, firewall and dedicated VM is probably more secure. That would require someone with decent skill targeting me specifically...in which case they're probably better off with a wrench attack anyway.

The big unknown is uptime.
Veganism is an attitude towards the suffering and commodity status of animals. Being vegan you agree to boycott of products/services that entail animal suffering, "as much as possible".

Vegetarianism, by contrast, is exclusively a diet that excludes dead animals.

Plant-based is a diet that does not include the products that a derived from animals. Basically the diet component veganism. Though products that are produced with the help of animals (like monkeys in coconut production) is certainly not vegan, but still plant based.
It's a generalization but I'm not sure it's really unfair.

I'm pretty sure that most people moving to SV/SF or most high cost areas really do so because they (or their partner) got a good job offer there, and especially in the case of tech and northern California, because there's a high density of other job possibilities as well.

People do just decide they want to move someplace but I doubt a lot choose the Bay area unless there's a job offer attached.
Everyone should be able to live the way they want to, but the cost of people living far away from each other is a large amount of carbon being burned and going into our atmosphere. There is a reason suburbs and exurbs only came about when cheap fuel became available.

I hope a day comes when renewable energy sources fix this issue.

> How is this different from Coca-Cola paying influencers to post negative stuff about Pepsi?

Coca cola can't have millions of influencers on their payroll (or at least, it wouldn't be economically profitable for them to do that). An AI could easily create and post on accounts on a scale that dwarfs real human-generated content.

My wife and I did not sleep trained our kids. They co-slept with us, they were happy we were able to sleep through the night. Eventually they transitioned into their own bed no problem. Our neighbors will let their baby cry like forever, it was excruciating and imo pointless.
The silence overwhelmed Mary Carlson when she visited row upon row of swaddled babies in a Romanian orphanage. No babbling, no crying, not even a whimper.

``The children are just lying there. You don’t hear crying, even in a room full of infants,″ Carlson said.

The orphanages are terribly overcrowded and understaffed, leaving little chance for the attention babies need. Not even mealtime offers a chance to cuddle: bottles are propped in the cribs.

It's a "private event", after all FIFA is just a big trade group, that happens to have a de facto monopoly.

Have a read what Gabor Mate has to say about sleep training

“ The implicit message an infant receives from having her cries ignored is that the world — as represented by her caregivers — is indifferent to her feelings. That is not at all what loving parents intend.”

Yeah, “sleep train” does not mean “cry it out”

Illegally downloading creative works is most assuredly _not_ theft, according to either the dictionary or the legal definitions, as no possessions are being taken and no one is being deprived of their property.

I recently have been discussing pricing models for quality curation rather than profit per se with a friend. The obvious advantage is that it's a simple, objective, broadly applicable means to distill a baseline of quality. The obvious disadvantage is that it is biased towards those with the most disposable income (and willingness to spend), which depending on the topic of the forum may or may not correlate with quality of insight/opinion. Based on what I've seen of /r/lounge, I conclude curating a community with price mechanisms alone doesn't lead anywhere interesting. But perhaps it can amplify quality on top of some other mechanism.
I think that's separate from the language though. I'm not saying it would process any SQL... it can be restricted to whatever function and SQL patterns that are deemed acceptable. Realistically, though, your language is going to be seriously inflexible or allow DoS... In fact I think you're typically more likely to hit seriously inflexible before excluding the possibility of DoS. So I think you're going to need something besides the query language to prevent DoS anyway.
A lot of the Ruhrpott[0] resembles that example and is considered a kinda shitty place to live in by a lot of Germans. A friend of mine who came here (Berlin) from there summed it up as “you spend a lot of time in your car”.

Ask HN: How to get back into tech after two years of absence because of burnout?
So I did not do anything coding or technical for the past two years because of severe burnout. Instead, I chose to become an engineering manager because it was a much different career path and this was really helping me get over the coding burnout that I've accumulated over the years.

I feel that I'm at a stage of my life where I can code again and move back to the IC path. Not that I dislike management, I just like being an IC more. My technical skills are very rusty, like I can probably system design my way through but will struggle initially writing code again.

But since that's my goal, I need a bit of advice in terms of how to "get back" into the industry after effectively being gone for 2 years as an IC? My current strategy is to do what I did before (choose a language, do leetcode, do sideprojects, join community, read books, etc, etc) but I'm confused about whether I should be specialising at my age or not? Specialisation for me means to either go into a specific industry (crypto, self driving, etc) or specialising like become a SRE, Data Engineer, etc.

Personal context (if stats matters): 37 yrs, 15 yrs tech industry experience. Last language I used before burnout was Go.
