Some practical notes on the systemd cgroups/units hierarchies
If someone does something themselves and believe it benefits them, they often want to share that benefit with others.

My time and safety are more valuable to me than my privacy, and I think everyone should consider their priorities.

If you want to use Tor and degoogle, I have no problem with that, I'm glad someone is studying that stuff in case it ever becomes truly necessary for people.

But not every person can join every protest. In terms of good done for the world compared to inconvenience to myself, I'm not convinced staying private is the most effective thing.
Since I game on Linux, Steam provides enough value since most games with Proton are one-click install. Don't use other stores though.
Pledging of Shares
The 2022 tesla proxy statement asserts that the board has "...confirmed that each of our directors and executive officers who have pledged stock are and have been compliant with this policy since our last confirmation."

This implies active and current monitoring, as does other language that describes this policy. Yet, with a 65%+ decline in share value, it looks impossible for Elon to be in compliance.

There is a lot that can go wrong with a rogue CEO and a lapdog board. But this is material to shareholders.
Is it awash in this case though? Very rarely have I read comments on HN in favor of DRM and restricting users' rights.

In fact, HN in this sense is a bubble where people seem to agree with me on this issue, often misleading me into the belief most people are aware about the war on users' rights...
Yea that might be a visible example of corruption but the way I see its exploration of weak humans by a larger wealthy set human beings.

There are men imprisoned on fishing boats in asia where public turns a blind eye because of their own selfishness. And then there is slaves digging up cobalt in africa with their bare hands( JRE episode recently ) to supply us gadgets.

I think politicians just give us a way out to absolve ourselves from the exploitation that we all are willingly involved in.

Kindle purchase on Amazon is sub-par.

The "single click" is in fact super annoying in my use case. I have an account with Amazon, with two different cards, one for professional purchases and one for personal ones[0].

When I buy a physical thing I can choose the card when paying. But for Kindles that's not possible, so I have to change the default card before buy. Very annoyging.

Also, for some reason, as described by the OP, one can't add a Kindle book to any cart to buy more than one at a time... or even save it for later! Which is completely absurd and user hostile.

[0] It's also possible to have two different accounts, but that comes with different problems; I have a pro account with Amazon but never use it.
Source? Everything I’ve read has shown this to be more of an urban legend if anything. Most SIDS deaths related to cosleeping involved alcohol or drugs. SIDS was actually found to be reduced due to breathing regulation matching that of the parent.
Definitely consider Kubuntu, which is under the Ubuntu Umbrella. Linux has a lot of different desktop environments. I find the KDE Desktop environment is a lot more similar to Windows compared to Gnome, which Ubuntu uses.

Ubuntu also has some of their preinstalled applications installed using a package format called snap, which can result in slower startup times for some applications. I think Kubuntu does not.

If you don't care as much about having the latest and greatest version of software, also go with the LTS version, which has mostly security updates for 5 years from date of release.

If you want to try it out before installing it, you can get an image from osboxes.org and run it in a virtual machine like VirtualBox.
SIDS data shows a (relatively) high occurrence of kids dying by having parents roll over on them, or them getting entrapped/suffocated in bedding. In traditional cultures, this usually gets covered up.

Additionally, it’s much harder for the parents or kids to get consistent sleep (often already causing a lot of difficulties during this time), when toddler age kids are in the same area, due to differing schedules.

In the US, due to mainly socio-economic issues (need to migrate for work often results in families separated over long distances), it is relatively uncommon to have relatives living in the same household able to help with childcare too, especially late at night. So it puts a lot more load on the parents.

If not managed effectively, this can break the parents in ways no one likes to talk about in polite company.

My wife and I co-sleep with our kids (2 & 4). I get just about a full sleep every night. If the kids wake up I imagine it's much less work to roll over and cuddle with them as opposed to getting out of bed, going to a separate room and then comforting them. Co-sleeping gets bonus points for giving me just a little extra sweet time with my kids, because before I know it they will be older and wanting their own space. They are only little once.

I would recommend co-sleeping to almost anyone.
You're describing a bad experience you had with a specific course (Rosetta Stone's Korean), and this data point is a useful warning, but generalizing from it to say that the method itself is “in practice it's just absolutely awful” and “a horrible experience” — when replying to a post about Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata, which many people have tried and absolutely enjoyed, and indeed successfully learned Latin from.

All that this shows is that a course using this method can be either well-designed or not (possibly depending on the language and learner), and we don't know which one the current Greek one is.
I have given up on privacy from benevolence or a good word from companies or organizations. I reject all cookies and deselect everything everywhere, but I will not go out of my way to create a pristine private profile where I degrade my experience.

Instead, I like the GDPR approach, the data you hold is mine, and I only give you a temporary right to process it for the stated purposes.

Now we need another generation of tech to evolve where managing this data becomes seamless.
Infants dying also has much more of a basis in human history

It’s really impossible to allow surveillance capitalism for only some to knowingly opt in. The way Google, Facebook and others are built to vacuum up everything they can get puts those of us who care about our privacy in a losing situation.

For example when your therapist emails you from their Gmail account to set appointments, now Google knows you see a therapist. I never signed up to give that information to Google. Pay your bill your credit card, now Mastercard knows you see a therapist.

There needs to be some reasonable expectation of privacy written into law and a reasonable limit to how data can be captured and used.

Loyalty is defined as devotion to a person, institution or idea. I think"devotion" is somewhat stronger than what you're describing.

I'd say someone calling you out is not exhibiting loyalty to you, but more like integrity, or loyalty to some other ideal, like truth, or business success, that you also value. Devotion to ideals is better than to people, though devotion by definition can still be blinding and dangerous (religion? Laissez-faire free markets?).

I'd say that what you're describing is a respect for people with who will fight for principles that you agree with, and that generates a kind of camaraderie, but don't confuse camaraderie for loyalty.

Anyway, not to go down a rabbit hole, the danger of loyalty as a concept is just something I happened to be thinking about lately. I just can't think of any valid instances of loyalty that didn't have very bad failure modes, so I'm inclined to write it off entirely as a value one should aspire to develop.
When I was trying to figure out my interests, passions, and career in general, someone suggested I ask myself this:

"What do I want to DO, BE, or HAVE?"

I found it grounding, centering, and it helped me to determine my goals. I still ask myself this, when I find myself without particular goals (such as if I accomplished my past goal(s)), or if I find myself bored or wanting to change direction.
> When I meet someone like the author, I always ask them if I can search their house, after all they have nothing to hide. Somehow nobody ever accepted my offer.

I do the same thing with their phones. I ask them to unlock their phone and then hand it over to me so I can look through it. Oddly enough, none of these folks who have "nothing to hide" have ever handed over their phone to me. Watch what people do, not what they say.
>It's easier for the family when the child is in the room with the parents. At least in the same way it is easier to have a master bathroom rather than one on the other side of the house.

Up to a point, sure. One common scenario is for newborns to sleep in their own crib/basinet/whathaveyou in the parent's room for a short time, before moving into their own room. Many people don't sleep train until their children are at least six months, if not much older. Other parents will keep them in their beds.

I have two children under the age of three and, anecdotally, where and how parents decide to have their children sleep is really all over the board because it boils down to what works best for the family.

And I think it's really stupid, unfair and short-sighted to judge other parents for their decisions in this area.
Why would it be considered suspicious?
It's an obsession because pediatricians insist upon it while offering no advice on co sleeping despite that being the most common arrangement worldwide. It's also extremely common in the United States despite parents not admitting to it.

Unfortunately, being given no information, the American parents who cosleep go on blind and don't know what precautions to take.

But yeah, it's an obsession because it's pushed despite the fact the arrangement is incredibly uncommon worldwide.

As for the last question.... I don't care. In fact I ask the same thing when people act as if co sleeping is some great evil

We've built something similar at https://www.inngest.com — we allow you to build durable serverless functions that react to events (or run on a schedule).

The good thing about us is that you don't need to learn about events, subscribers, backoffs, idempotency etc. Instead, you write a single line and can deploy reliable event-driven functions to any provider, even at the edge. Most people are afraid of tackling event-driven architectures because it's too hard to set up, debug, build, make reliable, deploy - all the standard stuff that's frustrating.

When I say durable, I mean:

- Functions get their own state, retries, idempotency, throttling, etc.

- You can create steps within functions which have their own retries, similar to Temporal

- You can eg `sleep`, `sleepUntil` within a serverless function to handle queues or delayed jobs

- You can `waitForEvent` within functions to wait for other events which match arbitrary expressions. This lets you do magic things like "when a user adds something to their cart, wait for the checkout event from this user for 1 day. If the event is null/not received, send a reminder email". This is hard to do out of the box, but with us it's built in and takes a single line of code.

- We also store each event so you can do things like local replay, event versioning, schema management & governance, etc.

When you mention "distributed transactions", there's many ways to go. For us, we're working on CDC so that you can atomically react to actual DB transactions. For everything else, durability and retries becomes important.

There's a *lot* to talk about here. I'd love to discuss more in depth - shoot me an email if it's of interest! :)
Have young'uns these days not heard of ajax?
> don't put anything up that you would be ashamed of if it became public

I don't know what "ashamed" encompasses, but an angle I think this word doesn't cover is how your information can be exploited. I think a while back this was less understood but has definitely come to light over the past few years.

I have nothing to hide but also don't want to be unknowingly taken advantage of somehow, which is why I do care about privacy. I may take this to the extreme because I hardly ever hand out my information, even to people in real life - it's not just about online services, but rather any source that can "leak" your information intentionally or unintentionally.

> My schedule has been public as long as I've been keeping one

This is mind blowing to me. Think of what someone could do with this information (although I see it is obsolete and he now uses Google Calendar (!))
Lots of creators like to create for fun. The type of work is different but it's not necessarily any less productive overall.
I'd prefer to have the option to give or sell the used games away after playing them. You can't give a Steam game to a friend after you've played it, and you can't pass your entire game collection on to your heirs when you die.

But you don't own anything, and you're happy -- which apparently is meant to be the new normal.
Thanks for the kind words :)

I get your point, but the idea is to strike a balance between something being meaningful and relevant. As the user, you are in charge of that - deciding what to keep and what to delete. That adds a taste of FOMO to the site that in my opinion makes it even more interesting.
Southwest Airlines blames IT breakdown for stranding holiday travelers
> There is no actual pirating going on when you copy a digital file

Note we did have this conversation, years if not decades before. Everyone "in the know" already understands this. I bet most HN readers understand this.

It's just that general consumers don't, and there was a successful propaganda campaign by media owners and distributors to label this as "piracy", and the name stuck.

It seems educating users is an uphill battle when fighting against a propaganda campaign by companies with deep pockets.

Why we should all be reading more fiction
Because PGP/GPG doesn’t protect mailboxes from phishing attacks.
The article does a poor job of linking to the chord, or to the verse in question.

It comes after the 6th verse (featuring a descant, where the highest voices sing above the tune).

The 7th verse is all in unison, which makes the chord stand out more.

David Willcocks (whose arrangement this article discusses) used to conduct a big christmas concert every year at the Royal Albert Hall, sung a choir he conducted called the Bach Choir. For that concert he added a brass fanfare & accompaniment on top of everything else, which brings everything to another level. I went a few years in a row when I was a young boy, and it gave me some incredibly happy memories (including meeting Willcocks).

Here’s the whole seventh verse with brass, sung by that choir and conducted by Willcocks: https://youtu.be/YG2woiVsJrc?t=199.

The current conductor of that choir (David Hill) is quoted in the article.
That was always how it was going to work! I don't know how anyone believed that the "legacy" automotive manufacturers, with their fingers on the pulse of upcoming transportation regulations, would be "caught out" by the EV transition.
I certainly didn't intend to sugarcoat anything. I was actually hoping to lay bare the harsh reality that work is often disappointing. I would hazard a guess that maligree has built at least a few things they're proud of at work. I read their post as expressing an overall feeling that they're not at home in their job, which to my understanding is a tangent from whether or not you have individual accomplishments to be proud of.

I'll double down on my original comment and say that if you depend on work to be your ultimate source of fulfillment (another way of calling it a home), the disappointment and reality that "sw engineering is hard work and more often than not feels like a waste of time" will always pull the rug out from under you at some point.
There are a lot of factors but the ones I could think of right now are salary of engineering graduates here in Philippines are very low and culturally. Culturally in the sense that in provinces, some parents treat their kids as "investment". I paid your college tuition so when you graduate you should start paying back by buying us a house, car, phones, etc. So there's really that pressure to get a high paying job right away.
They bided their time, and knew about the (mandated) EV transition years ago.
Then I’d happily pay more then 15% income tax in this country so we can provide better foreign aid to said countries so they can afford a better education. Encouraging slavery does not solve the root cause.

Hard Truth 6 does not rhyme with my experience.

Just got back into the job market, and every potential employer has expressed gratitude for my level of honesty and transparency.

I'm "weaker" at negotiations since I've laid out my cards on the table upfront. The other side of the coin is companies are less likely to waste my time unnecessarily, or play hardball too much when you appear to roll over so easily.

My take on Hard Truth 6 is to be careful and strategic with your honesty. It may not always be interpreted the way you intended, so be honest but be wise about what you're disclosing.

I guess we just have different perspective since I'm not from US. I mostly compare Vietnam to Russia (where I was born), UK (lived there for a while) and Turkey since I live there at moment.

Suppose I need to come to visit US and Hawaii to judge it, but honestly I loved living in Vietnam between October and May. And I'll choose it any time over London.

Simple fact that in Vietnam I can wear very much the same closes most of the year and don't need heating in winter is great.
You can also wipe your own library in the Amazon account permanently and without any refunds. Or the hacker can do it in a few minutes if your simple 1fa password is compromised.

You're really downplaying Tiktok. When it was starting up it was mostly a collection of teens dancing and making memes. Now there's content for everything made by a huge spectrum of people. Every person that relies on social media to maintain a brand needs to be on tiktok now. You scroll long enough and it'll feed you content hyper specific to your personality. I don't want to join Tiktok specifically because I know it'll show me things I enjoy but in a condensed form that will slowly rot away my attention span.

SIDS research is really difficult to interpret because of issues with medical records and problems with socioeconomic and cultural confounds. So, for example, cosleeping is much more common in immigrant populations and there are a lot of uncontrolled confounds related to access to healthcare, etc. Medical examiners are also hesitant to blame parents often and SIDS is frequently used to avoid assignments of responsibility.

My spouse and I were really surprised by the actual research when we looked closely at it. It's much murkier than is commonly believed.

My experiences in research and with pediatrics has led me to be deeply skeptical of a lot of common claims about infant and child sleep.

I think a healthy dose of caution is warranted but I think a lot of this area is not quite what it seems I initially ( which I think is part of the point of the article).
