But not in effort to benefit ratio, excluding the downsides of nicotine. Chewing nicotine is cheap and easy, cognitive behavioral therapy, exercise, and meditation, all take significant amounts of time at the very least.

Not arguing for the use of nicotine, but there are reasons people like taking pills (or chewing gum, as the case may be).
I bought a deck mainly for the working suspend. I have an AMD based desktop that I run Arch Linux on, and suspend didn't work on it for most of 2022. Bug fixes have since trickled into the mainline kernel, and there's AMD employees and Valve contractors productively participating in issue tickets.
Could you work “from home” from somewhere with a thriving community of remote workers, like Mexico City? Or lookup Wifi Tribe or similar?
My wife just hired someone with 36 years of experience. She is probably not getting past the 90-day probationary period. 1) Too many opinions, 2) no breadth: more like one year of experience repeated 36 times.
I had one, and really wanted to like it. I found the controller very comfortable in my hands. But, I could never make the touch pads useful for me. I tried different configurations, I tried intentionally practicing with them. But to no avail. For me, they were never more comfortable, intuitive, or accurate than dual-sticks. But, they were so central to the controller that they effectively _had_ to be used.
Real question:

Are individual scent receptors evolutionary preserved, or is there enough "cross-encoding" either at the genetic level or the receptor level itself that preservation of a small number of survival-correlated scent receptors will, coincidentally, cause preservation of other receptors as well?
> Just opening the windows and running some fans in the summer tends to do the trick for cooling.

The problem with 'natural' ventilation is you also get things humidity, pollen, dust, etc coming in as well.

One of the major advantages of mechanical ventilation (like HRV/ERVs, which cycle the air) is that things are tempered and filtered beforehand. Sometimes you also want to deal with individual variables: the temperature is fine, but the humidity is off.
I've been using it for small edits over the past few months, it's not that bad.

It would take very little to make it very good:

- a quick shortcut to open the file at current line in a pager

- perhaps redesign it to work without having to hit enter after you give a command
My parents paid for it for me and refused to consider anything cheaper, so I was lucky, but yeah, it is something like $700 a month.
It may be worth emailing that to hn@ycombinator dot com
Python is a quiet good choice. It is easy to learn because it abstracts away lots of stuff, it is useful for certain areas (not only data science) and it is a mature language (30 years are quiet old for a hip language of the day)

In Vienna they teach C++ for beginners. It is an awful choice.

(I think I can understand if teachers choose Java for learning)
I’m in a very similar predicament but the temperature where I’m at only go down to the 30s-40s mostly during the winter. I get some rebates where I’m at to replace a furnace so that brings replacement costs to be about equal between furnace and heat pump. I don’t have solar, kw per hour costs are around 13 cents. My AC is non op needing to be replaced (it regularly gets into the 100s for months on end) and my furnace is functioning at 25 years old and no problems, although when it turns on it sounds like a small bomb exploding in my ducts. I have 50% of my house with extremely drafty single pane windows, the other 50% have been replaced. House was made in the 1930s out of brick and appears to be well insulated otherwise though.

I am afraid that my overall utility expenses will go up drastically with a heat pump though. Can a heat pump even keep up with a house that loses heat like crazy out of the windows? I seem to get contradicting information from the salespeople, the internet, etc. if anyone has any anecdotal info it would be greatly appreciated
But the other me isn't observed. There's no empirical evidence for that other world. It's an interpretation of the mathematical formalism that there would be other mes making different observations. But there's nothing observational saying I have to choose the MWI interpretation as the correct one.
This really goes back to my other points I've made on this thread: if we focus on the economics, if everything you're saying is 100% is true, why are multiple major automotive companies spending so much money investing in EVs and visibly disinvesting from ICE vehicle development? If this knowledge is so available and the conclusion is so inevitable, why are multiple automotive companies abandoning ICE investment so completely?

These automotive companies lobby endlessly to sway various regulations in their favor, but they've seemingly rolled over and given up on the issue of EVs. They don't protest at California or Europe planning to ban ICE vehicle sales, and yet they have no difficulty discouraging the government from pursuing public transit and passenger rail investments. Why is that?

Why is Amazon building a custom EV delivery van with Rivian and outfitting their warehouses with expensive space-eating charging stations if the economics don't work and they expect battery materials to dry up? Are you accusing Amazon of acting against shareholder interests? Do you know of any public companies making investments of that scale without doing basic research? [2]

I'll tell you why it's happening: economically, EVs are less complicated to manufacture, more profitable, less expensive to fuel, and more desirable to consumers. I think that if we read between the lines, automakers aren't worried about securing enough batteries and finding enough materials. They're probably more worried about the way gasoline prices can fluctuate suddenly like in 2021, and how that fluctuation discourages sales of the most profitable types of vehicles (SUVs and trucks).

Economically, the US government knows that high gas prices alone can act as a trigger for recessions, and they most certainly have the data to know whether BEVs are a viable solution. 38% of Republican Senators voted for the infrastructure bill that introduces subsidies for electric vehicles. [1]

We can cynically look at that legislative action as a handout to corporations, but I see it as an admission that the world will change to BEVs whether any outside action takes place or not, purely due to the economics of the situation, and that incentivizing a domestic supply chain is necessary for economic stability and possibly even national security (i.e., shoring up energy independence: congress doesn't want the country's transportation infrastructure to be handcuffed to a new OPEC in the form of foreign battery suppliers).

I'm just following the money here.

>>You have 20 years of experience.

That means nothing (and I say that as someone with much more than 20 years of experience) - unless all that experience is in exactly the area the hiring company wants - someone with 20 years of the wrong experience (cobol for example) is going to be passed over for someone with 3 years of javascript experience, if you are looking for a JS developer. You probably won't even get passed the HR person if the skills and keywords on your resume don't line up exactly.
Maybe, although you can use RDPMC to read quite a few performance counters from user mode after enabling them with perf_event_open.

But using perf_event_open interoperates with the rest of the system, whereas a random kernel module is likely to interfere with other perf users.
Yes to both. Changed careers to do this when I discovered I had both the aptitude and interest. I've only had the marginal success doing it that I've had a result of substantial time invested studying independently.

With that said, I'm absolutely burnt out on endless meetings, bs deliverables, mismanagement, and cargo-cult testing nonsense on Yet Another Crud App.

I too spend substantial time reading about build systems, programming languages, etc. I want nothing more to work on something at least marginally interesting with the opportunity to learn from my peers. That's not at all present in my current circumstances.

I wouldn't do _this_ given a hypothetical lottery windfall.
>The reason for this is the premise of fair competition that identical people should compete.

No, actually the reason is that it makes both watching and competing more interesting. A competition where women never got anywhere near first place would mean women would simply stop showing up (or vice versa). A boxing championship with no weight classes would mean no lightweight boxers would sign up.

On the other hand, with enough subcategories you can get to the point where some competitors win by default, or where you have championships of one or two matches.

So no, it's not arbitrary to separate competitors by some physical characteristics and not others. There are practical reasons to do so that are unrelated to the whims of organizers.
That’s absurd, AC doesn’t “make you sick”. What basis could anyone have for such a claim?
Hard truth #9: Bad grammar will erode your credibility
The difference is intent. Overbooking intentionally creates conflict likely to result in a ticketed passenger unable to board. Overselling also results in a ticketed passenger unable to board, but was not intentional; at least not directly intentional. You could argue flying planes with different capabilities offers the possibility to have a lesser plane subsituted and that's an intentional choice, but...

Another way to think of it is what could an airline have reasonably done to avoid the situation? If it's overbooking, the reasonable thing is to not overbook. If it's overselling, they could choose not to fully book their scheduled equipment, but is that reasonable? They can't choose to have 100% reliable planes and crews and weather and ground operations. Stuff happens, and it's certainly reasonable to be upset when it does, but understanding why it happened can be helpful, so making a distinction between overbooking and overselling makes sense to me.
If you want to take the next step past docker-compose, I strongly recommend Skaffold instead of moving backwards to supervisord.
I think it’s fine, I wish they would just do one interview about that stuff though. Having to get lucky enough to solve 5 in a row is just cruel
I love the feeling of an actual book in my hands. So during the daytime I read paperbooks. During the evenings/nights I read on my ereader as this requires less light so i dont wake up my spouse or the baby. I make sure I have both so I can read whatever I like.

Something which I discovered this year is reading multiple books in parallel. And start reading the book which you feel like reading, not the book which you think you should read. That way I always had the mindset to enjoy a particular book.

I said war is bad and harming the environment is worse, no relationships between the 2, but the western "good" people are not so good

Pollution is already causing 10 million deaths/year and this gets worse. I live near a road, and have snow-like dust in my apartment every day from pollution, this can't be good in the lungs. Most people in developed countries, including Russia, have a footprint way too high, over 6T CO2 year, and this is the reason we're all unfortunately heading into trouble and future environmental wars.

No chance, sadly. The second inflation numbers start to come down and we look like we're in the home stretch, Wall Street will whine and cry about interest rates being too high, and will bribe congress and use them, plus a sympathetic corporate media to put pressure on the Fed to cut rates, and the Fed inevitably will do so aggressively instead of keeping them high, and we'll be right back where we started, but hey - Wall Street and big banks will be happy.
It would be interesting to find the places where Quicklisp systems depend on some quirk of SBCL that's not required by the standard.

I know of one case here: one depended on string constants having element type CHARACTER, when that is not required by the standard. It's ok for an implementation to cause a string like "abc" to have element type BASE-CHAR, for example.

Another example might be assuming that various standard functoins that return booleans return T for true. Almost all are not required to do that.

Given that European epidemics literally decimated the native population and the military marched many of the remaining natives to reservations that is the reality that most settlers encountered.
You and the GP keep bringing this back to "incompetence" but I want to make clear that I disagree that people who don't want to read my longform emails (or are incapable of doing so) are incompetent. Socrates was probably illiterate. I am just saying that literacy is, anecdotally, not that relevant a skill in 21st century corporate jobs.
I can’t really force deep thinking for myself. Instead it comes spur of the moment when I’m away from my work. A solution to a problem or a compelling idea will pop into my head, and when that happens is when I’m in the headspace to think deeply.

This is a little different from Flow states I get into when I’m _already_ working. Usually in my work Flow states I’ve already had my spur-of-the-moment-deep-thought and now I’m just implementing in a Deep Work state.

Overall, yes to your post, but it does not touch several related aspects that is driving the piling on ( and you do not expand on the fact that they are designed for addiction, which translated means that they are made to tailor made for any individual to be addicted to it ).

<< Other commenters so far seem to be overlooking this.

I honestly question that assertion. I would venture to say that most people here are well aware of how social media operates and how general population responds to it.

<< I can't imagine any regulation that would address the root cause of the problem without completely destroying the good aspects of the web and the internet.

This is admittedly the hard part, but I can absolutely imagine appropriate regulation should social media get to the point it is actually destructive to the fabric of society. I am willing to sacrifice some of the internet for it too given how much of a cesspool it has become.

It may not be the time yet, but I suppose the weird geopolitical constellation now may actually provide a conduit for just such change. I am not celebrating, because as always, it will likely be the worst of both worlds.

<< Fundamentally we as individuals need to learn how to engage in a healthy way and be self-aware.

Yes, but ideally without making an attempt to go viral in the process. I would argue this is not a healthy way to do this.
This is a live-to-work attitude. Have some other hobbies and goals, and a year of unemployment will be neither lonely nor depressing. Personally I've gone farther in the work-to-live direction, with an easygoing, "boring" (still fulfilling enough to see some javascript doodad come to life, but not world changing) WFH job I perform well in that supports my homesteading and other hobbies.
> The problem is that it makes it harder for the app to have sane defaults.

How is this not trivially solved by having the app ship with its own set of bindings, then provide a simple toggle switch between "use app defaults" and "use OS defaults/user preferences" that is displayed on first use?

> That's what I meant by "preference": it is your preference to have apps honor your system-wide settings, but it is my preference to let the app developers choose their bindings themselves

The above system seems to fairly easily fit your preference - you can trivially choose to use the app bindings, and GP can trivially choose to use the system bindings.

You're advocating for needlessly restricting user choice by using a design that doesn't allow them to pick between a unified set of system shortcuts (which I, and many other millions of people want) and each app doing it their own way (which is a UX disaster for new users).
> "Pico came later with the Pine e-mail client"

Nope. GNU Nano, like a lot of the early GNU utilities, emulates Pico. I was using Pico/Pine around 1994/95 on UNIX workstations, and Pico was the default editor.
Keepass and derivatives like KeepassXC (preferred) have configurable autocomplete which emulates a keyboard and seamlessly moves between UI fields using any key presses you want. By default it switches windows with Alt Tab and Tabs between fields.

I can’t find the study from a cursory search, but my understanding that nicotine addiction per se could not be replicated without combustion - non-smokers using nicotine patches did not exhibit dependence, but smokers did get dependence relief from them.

To that end, non-combustible methods of nicotine might give the benefits without the addiction negatives (but still risks of e.g. pancreatic cancer)
You would say the table in front of me is data inside a physical computer, whatever the physics of the real world were, assuming they aren't the same as our simulated world (perhaps they are an approximation of the real all depending on the purpose of the simulation).

That's different from the world being mathematical or informational, which raises the question of what makes it real to us. What breathes life into the equations? Consciousness? Where does consciousness come into the picture?
Woke is a term used by white people that was culturally appropriated from AAVE.
How expensive would it be to run source water to an entire neighborhood for heating and cooling? Have one heating/cooling plant and per building heat pumps.
> House heating tends to have controls from thermostats or other devices; I'd tend to look to them for grid-related time-shifting

Not for heat pumps. In a typical configuration (large heat reservoirs combined with under-floor heating in a well-insulated house), temperature-setpoint changes take 12-24 hours to propagate.

So, governing the (in-room) target temperature settings is unreliable/unpredictable. Whereas the in-pump storage temperature is a whole lot more manageable.

The old advice "turn your thermostat down at night" therefore also doesn't apply to most heat pump installations -- in fact, it might be disadvantageous. "Select the average temperature you need and don't touch it" is much better advice. Need localized heat/cold? Use another solution for that...
For the 'project homes', perhaps, but if you're going to go through the effort of building new or re-doing an entire structure, you might as well use the latest and greatest stuff/practices/code.

When I looked into learning Free Pascal (not that many years ago) it seemed to me like Ada was the more well-developed, actively used language of that sort of heritage.

Have any of you used both languages? What made you stick with Free Pascal instead?

Another hard truth… You learn who will help you in a crisis, and it will surprise you. People you thought had your back become scarce, while some weak connections really go to bat for you because of some small courtesy you did years prior.

Going through the experience once makes you more empathetic to folks in a similar boat.
Everyone I know still uses Facebook so there's that. Messenger is also the dominant chat app in my circle.
As others have said, it depends on the authentication method.

Some users may not even have a password. They'll be sent an email or sms with an authenticated link. So to put a password box in front of them may be confusing.

But it's definitely annoying to those of us with general passwords.
Meetup.com seems to be sort of back where I'm at (Chicago area). Some of the groups are now toast (including the one I used to admin), but several are back to regular events again, and there have been some new groups since.

I've tried to be a little careful still (still haven't gotten Covid as far as I know, I don't know if I'll be asymptomatic or end up in the hospital or something in between), and yet I've gone to several picnics, hikes, board game nights, outdoor hangouts, karaoke, movie nights, trivia, dinners, etc. via Meetup.com this past year.

Also supplemented that with Facebook events and the local forest preserve and local library's posted events.

I still have a core friend group (who I met thanks to Meetup.com many years ago), but several of my other friends have drifted off since the pandemic started (married and started having children), so I started doing meetup more again to compensate.
ISO 26262 is optional, and some car makers (e.g. Tesla) may choose not to use it directly; but in general they use another process that they feel provides equivalent safety properties, and feel so strongly enough that they're comfortable substantiating this in the inevitable lawsuits.
