I think that you probably have 80% of the gross capability, but you will gain a huge level of refinement. I'm about 10-15 years into the command line (depending on how you count, lol) and I keep finding more stuff that just wouldn't stick 5 years ago, because I simply didn't have those problems yet.

E.g. there was a time in my life when I didn't get what `xargs` even did, I literally couldn't grok it. Now, I can't imagine life without `-0`!

The composability of UNIX commands is just so amazing. Every command builds on every other command. I haven't seen that with any other tools or program.
many years ago I had a fortran class where our lab was a bunch of x-terminals connected to some old SunOS Sparc thing. all of the user sessions used ttys that for some reason were world writeable. anyone who has had the misfortune of writing fortran code will remember that its very column dependent. each line of code has to have certain elements lined up in the proper columns.

so, of course I wrote a little script that wrote a single space character to a random tty every so often. the character wouldn't be in the users source code but since it was shown on their terminal they would generally hit backspace to "fix" it which made the text on screen line up but misaligned the columns in their actual source file.

very few people got their assignments to compile
This is the important insight. Beta amyloids, tau tangles, now angry immune cells. Maybe look into infections that provoke them all?

What we know is that certain vaccinations (Tdap, flu) predict a 40% reduced risk of dementia, and recent treatment with valacyclovir, a herpes treatment, similarly. And autopsies of Alzheimer's patients show brain infections.

What will all the amyloid biochemists do when that whole line of research is abandoned?

Equally, someone who moves straight to SV (or equivalent tech hub) is probably significantly more career-focused than someone who stays put, or moves to a city, so it's unsurprisingly SV is seeing more office work than other regions.

I used to be a LastPass user and also used to use their GoTo services for work. Shortly before all of this was revealed, I noticed a problem with their API and sent their customer service team message about how their API is not working correctly and is simply responding with wrong data and they basically said "too bad" and said they weren't gonna fix it due to time constraints. I even tried their forums but they deleted the Thread, marking it as "Spam".

I then stopped using my account on LastPass and literally a few weeks later they revealed the "security incident". Had to change all my passwords but I'll never get near this company ever again.
They are considered GOTO of db. Good luck debuging complex trigger hierarchy.
Agreed, but I’d add: 90% of people aren’t interested in working that hard to make a founder life changing money while they’re collecting a salary and adding a bullet point to their resume. And reasonably so.
We typically have extremely limited history of any civilization that didn't have a pervasive and resilient writing system. A lot of cuneiform clay tablets survive, for example, because they were in a library in a city that burned and that burning baked the clay.

Fun fact: there are an estimated 500,000 to 1 million cuneiform tablets sitting in museums around the world. Less than 10% have ever been translated.

Papyrus was another medium for the written record in ancient times and it doesn't tend to survive long. Longer lasting materials only really came about centuries later when vellum and longer lived paper. So any papyrus works only tended to survive because they were repeatedly copied.

As to roman's eradicating history, let me add thsi context: the origins of Rome itself is largely unknown. Rome was sacked by the Celtic Gauls in (IIRC) the 4th centure BCE so now we have legends that are more likely fiction than fact and may well just be apocryphal (eg Romulus and Reemus). Reconstructing something as well-known (at the time) as the Twelve Tables was a significant effort.

Also consider that before the Romans there were the Etruscans. Not much is really known about them at all. They had their own language including a written language but it's never been deciphered as we simply don't have enough samples. Those we have are typically from burial sites. IIRC one of the more significant fragments was found because an Etruscan manuscript was used in wrapping a mummy.

So my point is that histories don't tend to survive, even for the conquerors, so a claim about eradicating history needs a lot of supporting evidence.
We co-slept with all three kids and caught flak for it from the pediatrician. She was certain that one or both parents were going to roll over onto the kids and squish them. Very pleased we did it, but you may have to stand your ground with well-meaning but ignorant people.
Thank you for that feedback, helpful to understand that segmentation :) I'm guessing that traveling with family / setting kids up in local schools or remote learning is a non-starter?

>Ending slavery isn't controversial

Of course it isn't. What is not obvious is what replaces it that isn't de facto slavery or even reduces opportunities for people so that they are exploited elsewhere. Nor how the replacement is monitored for effectiveness and compliance.

It is easy to say that slavery is bad and make it illegal. Fixing the actual problems in monarchies/dictatorships and impoverished countries with little opportunity is not easy or simple. The fact that a lot of slaves are not technically slaves but officially and legally "employed" makes the issue pretty plain to see. How do you see the solution to compliance in Middle Eastern monarchies and even in Western democracies where it is already illegal but happens none the less? I assume you are going to go out and implement these right away if it is so easy and obvious.

You are looking for equitable solutions in places that explicitly do not value them. Improving that is hard, if it is not already obvious.
I don't find suburbs boring. I find them soul-less.

I grew up in rural France. Small village have shops, bars, services like post-office, hair-dresser and whatnot. It's not a dichotomy between things and absence of things.

Suburbs would be fine in my own personal book if they were offering basic services and a sense of comunauty.( not in warehouse operated by large chain, but by people living there and earning a livehood out of it )

Totally get your point about being left alone, but I still want the place I live and raise my kids to be a network of humans sharing a sense of belonging. Not private lots next to each other.
Thank you for making this distinction - it's a very useful one to have that I did not previously.

From the other nymag.com submissions on HN, and a look at their frontpage, and my past experiences with their articles, it seems like NYMag is an Activist news outlet, so this is not very surprising, if rather disappointing.
I knew someone who was working on this, my understanding was technology infrastructure was a huge blocker to their plans for international flights. The scheduling system required many hours of downtime every night to process. It effectively ran from the moment the last airport on the west coast closed to start of operations next day east coast and it was just getting longer.

In Chrome for Android, the procedure is the following:

- Open any search page that follows the spec

- Search for anything (not always necessary)

- Open settings > search

- Select your search engine from the "recently visited" list

In Firefox you need to add a custom URL, which 99% of users won't know what to do with so they'll just ignore it. This allows for more customisation but it's also a higher bar to clear.

I don't think either implementations would drive away users. Worst case scenario, the procedure is too complicated for those using a popular custom search engine and Apple needs to make their default search provider list bigger.

> The 2 existing models are a relic of a low technology past:

Both the factors you mention - cars, and mass transportation - were huge technological advances of their times.

Technology has progressed since, so we might see different models evolve. But don't mistake those models to be permanent either.
Had a similar experience in middle school. We started initially doing net-send to specific users and having played around a little bit with batch files/command prompt before I tried net send *.

Well the entire county was on the same network. All computers in the school district received my message. Fortunately the message was just "hi", and I think it was only sent once.

Like the OP, in retrospect I saw that the message shows the sending computer+user. Since we had student-specific logins it didn't take long before I was tracked down and reprimanded. I think they even told my parents about it and were threatening suspension etc. But at a certain point it became kind of obvious that the network/configuration was more at fault than a curious kid. So I got off with a stern warning and narrowly avoided a life of crime.
That’s not the way psychology works but okay.

The closest example I can think of for people avoiding a car brand for political reasons is "Greatest Generation"/Boomers refusing to buy cars from Honda, Toyota and other Japanese companies because of Pearl Harbor, but most of them relented eventually because the value of Japanese cars was undeniably better.

This is not to say that Tesla won't suffer for Musk-induced political reasons. But I don't think this is the primary mechanism behind Tesla's downfall. Rather, I think Musk's political flailing has punctured his reality distortion bubble, so Tesla is returning to the value it rationally should have been at the whole time. It has always been a fringe manufacturer, propped up by unrealistic fantasy about the near future.
>> It wouldn't devastate them if people could live above or around (walkable distance even in bad weather) where they work.

So how would this work when you switch jobs, do you keep moving residences? That would be super-disruptive. Also, what if you switch jobs but you're in a timed-lease? What if you switch jobs and change residences but your kids are in a local school? These things get really complicated.
Though obviously you have to do that _before_ access is revoked.

As easy as that may be, the shiver-me-timbers route might be even easier.

Nonsense.

When these so called “creatives” (read: administrators) are making billions upon billions nickel and diming every little resemblance to “their work” (read: administrators and investors paying actual creators that lack negotiation skills jack diddly) at the cost of all of society (how far does copyright go these days?), they can stick it.

By pirating, a user is not TAKING something from someone. That is like trying to own an idea and suing people for having the same idea. Digital data is easily duplicated and hurts no one to duplicate. If you wanted to be a twat and micromanage your works, you shouldn’t have digitized it. Go be a traditional oil artist or an opera singer or a circus performer, where in person experiences matter.

If you want all the benefits of the digital world, then suck it up and be ready for digital works to be duplicated.
Sure, but even if you're not these things still happen. To normal, healthy, reasonable people.

They don't happen to people who don't co-sleep.

Max an hour. It's an Intel GPU on a cheapo netbook (hence the need to make it as efficient as possible). Arch wiki is quite decent for this kind of stuff.

I don't know about NVIDIA, I didn't own one since a long time.

Yes! I too have had many sites fall into that category.

Also it's been a fascinating exercise in user-interface/-experience competitive research. Some websites just do not give a crap. Here's one gem: https://i.imgur.com/yBLmuHt.png

I can't help but feel pity for the local/city-level websites though. You can tell they've just Frankenstein-d stuff together on meager budgets and under crippling administrative loads.

The twitter thing isn’t just politics; his antics have also pretty much comprehensively smashed the idea that he’s a magical visionary genius. Now, not everyone bought into that before, but it was a pretty common view a few months ago. It’s pretty fringe today.

From personal experience: after we had kids, sex became a lot more about opportunity than any particular place (our bed) and time (at night). It was that way for a while. Now, they're a little more grown up, and things are the way they were before. Everything is a phase.

>Ford said "They can have any color as long as it's black." His competitors capitalized on this mistake - people wanted colored cars. Since the 1920's colored cars are the norm.

This was founded in a technical decision. Paint technology at the time was not great and could deteriorate in short order if not properly applied. The colored paints had to be painstakingly applied in multiple coats over many days. Which required having enormous lots devoted to nothing but watching paint dry. Black paint was more forgiving and a quick application still looked reasonable, allowing units to be produced more quickly.
Hydroxychloroquine is used to treat Lupus by interfering with the communication between cells (not exactly clear in the research tbh). Lupus, Rheumatoid arthritis, and other uses for Hydroxychloroquine appear to be autoimmune responses where the body attacks connective tissue.

If Hydroxychloroquine reduces inflammation and reduces immune responses damaging connective tissue I could see it generally useful for incidents where the body damages itself (such as Alzheimer or dementia)

(Replying to own post)... thanks for the info about Postgres RLS/row-level security. I guess I should not be so leery...

Looking at the last project I did, the app-level db-middleware basically consists of two things: (1) plumbing boilerplate; (2) enforces app-level auth rules, either by preventing unauthorized operations or adding required filters. It looks like I should probably look at RLE and can likely move anything app-specific out of the middleware... which might let it collapse to something entirely generic, and therefore entirely reusable, and quite possibly something I don't have to write myself.

Yes, they did. Both my work and personal email inboxes are pretty much exclusively various kinds of automated messages (order details, newsletters, announcements from various tools), I get essentially zero personal communication over it anymore; that all happens on other platforms.

It is a very kind gesture to make this book freely-available.

It does have a small problem in the number of "bashisms" that it quietly promotes.

The entire Debian/Ubuntu family has chosen the Almquist shell because of speed and standards compliance, and many things in this book will not work there.

It would be helpful to have a book that is clear that the POSIX.2 shell is not Bash.

Makes sense, and your point about opportunity seems obvious in hindsight. I appreciate the response. :)
I don't think you do. This falls under "irreconcilable differences" and the solution is for people to work at companies that match their preferences.
>attachment theory was developed to explain why children of drug addicts are so messed up

Citation? As far as I know, the roots of Attachment Theory are in the World War II work of John Bowlby, investigating the effects of children separated from their parents when major cities were evacuated during the Blitz.

It is much later that the association of insecure attachment and addiction was scrutinized.

Lovely article. I wish the author would have spent more words explaining why he is so against laneway houses, though.
Yeah, it's interesting that they mention it as a "neuroprotective therapy" rather than any kind of treatment. That suggests that it doesn't do anything to reverse damage, but can only slow (perhaps halt?) the progression of the disease.

It doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be good enough. In real life, the likelihood of twins perfectly emulating each other, and then using that to deceive others for anything but playful intent is low enough to be acceptable. If a solution is good enough that exceptional corner cases are rare and typically harmless, then it's good enough for adoption.
I'm not the person you are replying to, but my kids often find their way into our room before we get there. We usually just move them back to their own beds. If they come back on their own, it's usually not until much later after we've had time to ourselves. My kids go in phases, for a few weeks they will come in every night, then for seemly no reason, they won't come again for a month or so. However with 3 kids, they can't sync that schedule so we more often than not have a kid in our bed.
