I've struggled with depression and anxiety issues for most of my life. Two things have made a huge difference for me:

Actually identifying with my body and taking care of me (it). That's the diet, sleep, exercise combo driven by a positive body image I identify with. The by far worst years of my life (so far) were when I clung to some kind of cyberpunky mind-body dualism and treated my body as a bag of meat whose only purpose is to supply oxygen to the brain in front of a computer.

Self-acceptance. For some people this is a given, seemingly achieved without any conscious thought at all, and I'm quite envious of those people. For others this takes decades or they repress until the bitter end (suicide in one way or another).

Therapy might be helpful and seems to be the default advice for questions like these. I've been sent to a handful of psychologist appointments due to anger issues in elementary school (don't recall any of that). I tried to get mental health help around a decade ago, only got some pills that made me feel even worse (adverse effects: suicide) and couldn't get a follow-up appointment. Real therapy is hard to access because the health system intentionally keeps capacity low (it's expensive). Basically only for people unable to work any more due to mental health issues, not for people that have quality-of-life issues. The US seems to be on the other end of the spectrum from my country in this regard.

Windows 11 is getting worse not better. I went to type Windows Fax in the start menu since Windows Fax and Scan used to be included. It showed up as an app in the latest Windows 11 but then tried running it and they removed it but left the shortcut.
The average height of a woman in Russia is 1.65 so I guess that explains why they choose 1.70.
It uses the circle library (https://github.com/rsta2/circle) to provide a minimal runtime (mainly to interface with the hardware).

Good, I'm glad. For some reason the term "Code smell" has itself become a "smell" to me.
I'm M 196cm (6'6") and I wouldn't want to be shorter. My brothers are taller than me and I don't think they would want to be shorter either.

I think the author is just frustrated with her height. Why else would she write such a long article.
No, they're saying it's complicated. That means that if you try to make it uncomplicated again that you are going to miss crucial information and nuance.
My bad, that's what we always called the guys upstairs, and then I heard it used across my industry and assumed it was general.
I'm late to this but IIRC this is kind of the tech that LTT has started making use of for spanish audio - I don't know any of the nitty gritty details but I think they feed the english track as well as the script into the AI and get a much more natural-sounding translation out of it. For sections that don't come out "right" you can help it along by re-training just that section etc.

See vid for some discussion around it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5uCvcyD0Eo
The GP is saying that people use react as an ajax abstraction library.

It does make some sense. People used to use jquery exactly that way, and react provides an even better interface for ajax. I wouldn't be surprised if most of the usage of react is there just because people don't want to query their servers by hand.
Also, the author has a husband who is half a foot taller than them

Women overwhelmingly do not like men who are shorter than them. At least not in any romantic capacity.

Telling short men this isn't true is gaslighting them hardcore.
This is absurd.

"He’s even restricted dairy from his sons’ diets and only allows them minimal sugar in an attempt to limit their growth, saving them from the ills of height."

Why the heck did I read this?
A drawback of being the "average" size, is that all of the stuff in your size runs out first at shops. By the time there's a clearance sale, everything left is either tiny or huge.
> Unlike backend engineering, where people working are primarily choosing technology based on logic/merit.

Sometimes I wish I could do the crying-while-laughing emoji on HN.

Backend devs have biases and get tricked into making the wrong choices just like everyone else.
They meant single as in “count of 1” not “romantically unattached”.
Sure, but that argument also applies for GC.

I suppose there's a window where you can't tolerate GC pauses but can have exceptions allocating memory unpredictably, but it's a pretty small window.
No, that's factually wrong. In 2011 you would need to mine with at least a GPU, and a single one would barely produce 100 bitcoins in a year if not less.
Interesting you had more success then me. I just got annoyed with the tiny screen, and lots of minor things that seemed to not work smoothly (although now I can't remember exactly what they were I'll admit).

> But, if Puerto Rico wanted to become an independent nation, do you imagine the USA would let it without trying to quash the "rebellion" with both economic and military might?

The US did it for the Federated States of Micronesia, Palau, and the Marshall Islands in recent-ish years, why wouldn't they do it for Puerto Rico if they wanted to?
War-themed video game fuels wave of misinformation
I have always been involved with lifting weights (4 times a week) and running 10km twice a week. This is pretty intense, I know, but I gravitate to it based on burning cortisol from anxiety and the calming effect it has afterwards. It didn’t stop a full blown two week anxiety episode six months ago but I added therapy and keeping a journal. This helps focus me but nothing is a cure..it’s just a lifestyle to find temporary balance.
They also hide some of the most useful options while keeping the most useless. Rename is now one of the ones hidden by default.
LOAB (pronounced “lobe), the terrifying AI-generated art
Loab was introduced to the world on Sept. 6th from Twitter user @supercomposite (real name Steph Maj Swanson).

After adding negative prompts, the AI created pictures showing a horrifying, long-haired, older woman with rosy cheeks.

Next, Steph started using Loab as a base for more images, essentially asking the program for more art that combines other images with her latest creation.

This spawned all types of grim and violent images — with headless humans, and children with horrifying faces emerging from the AI's computations.
A large part of the reason people ignore your model for business use, where the target platform is locked down to a single target, is the perceived need to run their software on any given piece of hardware.

That's a question that really aught to be answered. If the business application only requires Windows PCs as a target your design wins out despite the perceived shortcomings.

I agree that the consequences of height are drilled into us in adolescence when we're mostly dealing with sexual competition, not yet competing for promotions and such. Teenage girls are more likely to be picked on for being tall than short.

In retrospect, I was lucky that I went to a high school where I was only a tiny bit on the short side, good enough that when I was feeling down on myself (i.e., all the time when I was in high school) I could tell myself "at least I'm average height." I didn't realize until I left home that the demographic people judge me by is quite a bit taller than the demographic of my hometown.
Has it occurred to you that maybe “state management” is not something you need a framework for?
That new context menu is garbage (for me). I use advanced functions regularly to the point that after a day of being on 11 it bothered me enough to figure out how to revert to showing the “advanced” (old) context menu.
Taking over land, goods and people is a very human thing to do, not localized to europe. There were nations (tribes, kingdoms, whatever) trying to occupy europe too, both from the south and east... and let's not forget the many many internal european wars and conquests.

Looking globally, europeans were really that much more advanced (in science, warfare, medicine, logistics,...) than the areas they managed to occupy... how else would a few people on a few boats occupy whole continents? Did those people do a lot of very very bad things (from slavery to genocide) ... sure. Was there some luck involved? Sure... the romans were more advanced than the occupying tribes and they still lost. But generally, the more advanced groups were the winners.
The argument here is, at least in part, that achieving it on Earth would likely increase the chances of succeeding on Mars. To rule that out on the basis that one's goal is to colonize another planet (as opposed to, for example, showing that achieving it on Earth would not help with the ultimate goal) is a way to avoid considering that argument, not a refutation of it.
You need to know the languages. And then you pick up certain words, features or ways spellings are done. Even ignoring the more specific letters and diacritics, it is somewhat guessable what language is written with latin alphabet. Even if there is many of them.
> Settlement outside solar system should become one of humanity priorities as a matter of survival.

> Going to Mars can be a suicide mission

These goals seem contradictory.
Yes! This is the exact analogy that I use. Writing in a diary, even if it's a one liner, helps me to "floss away" the things that are on my mind.
> How do you prove check fraud for washed check?

By the law, the bank needs to do the proof, or return your money. Not so with account takeovers. Which is my whole point.
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say efficiency instead? It's to my understanding that the latest offerings from both AMD and Intel are competitive in regards to synthetic benchmarks at the cost of higher power consumption.
> Beware, though it's fully functional, crosstalk is still limited by constraints of the original Smalltalk 80 system - e.g. in terms of color (black and white only), possible screen resolution (2^20 pixels, the system crashes if you try to increase the resolution beyond this) and available memory (~1 MB!).

I would imagine it would be less work to start with an early Squeak to remove these constraints than to try upgrading this system to remove these old limits?
ELI5, but basically, imagine you have a glass of salty water, and a thin membrane between this glass of salty water and another glass of water.

If the second glass of water has no salt in it, then salt will start crossing the membrane and equalising the salt levels in both glasses. However, if the second glass of water already has some salt in it, then the first glass will lose less salt through osmosis to the second glass.

Now, imagine the first glass is your blood, and the second glass is your waste water. By measuring the salt levels in the first glass, we can estimate the concentration of salt in the second glass, and therefore how much water is being cycled through.

You can also measure serum sodium in urine, but urine tests are more significantly impacted by recent consumption (e.g. if I drink a big glass of water a few hours before the test, likely the serum sodium levels will be significantly lowered), regardless of general trends. This means they're normally used as a secondary diagnosis tool in case blood sodium is abnormal to validate kidney function.
A house? Maybe. Hasn't worked out for the guy in the BBC story so far.

Brokerage account hacked, stocks sold and money wired away? Your chances of recovery are extremely slim. There's pretty much no recourse once that money has passed through a few hops.
How do your scifi stories solve social issues like the breakdown of civilization following events like civil wars caused by events like the Capitol storming?

In other words, isn't the threat to the human species mostly within itself, and finding solutions to those issues much more impactful (and attainable) than dreaming of building such fantasy structures?

Aside from the realization that society wouldn't work differently on Mars either. Look around you. The fraction of idiots in a society on Mars is unlikely to be lower than here on Earth.
Even the builders of the Great Pyramid at Giza could at least explain what it was for.

The purpose of setting foot on Mars is to ignite the human spirit, you soulless pedestrian.

I’m 6’10” and I wouldn’t want to be shorter at all.

It’s a question I get quite frequently and sure, sometimes it’s not super handy (think airplane seats or hotel beds) but otherwise this is who I am and I kinda like it.

Other than that, the article seems pretty weird with a lot of assumptions on benefits of being small(er). The calorie intake one especially, I know a lot of smaller folks who consume a lot more food than I do...
My partner and I recently had our second child. The biggest difference we noticed is related to our better acceptance of that child’s needs. With the first one, we always tried to look for signs of autonomy, much too early. Everything is more peaceful when we accept to let go. I’m not fixing things in the house. Every thing I give up is a liberation. Being a father more or less makes up for the self image forced and embraced update.
One example over three decades doesn't prove much. As pointed out, in 1992 the best CPU in the world was a SuperSPARC, with the MIPS R4000 about to leapfrog it. It didn't stick. I didn't say x86 offerings were uniformly and always better than RISC ISAs. I said it was almost always better, which sort of demolishes Mashey's arguments about the inherent superiority of the ISA design.

And in any case you're wrong on the facts. The M2 and Zen 3 cores are not being fabbed on the same process; AMD is still on 7nm for its CPU products vs. 5nm for Apple. Their use of 5nm is exclusively for GPUs so far.
They felt there was sufficient evidence of a correlation between middle aged sodium levels and aging in a data set that was gathered over 25 years to recommend doing studies that use treatments to shift the sodium levels to see if they reduce aging (the "intervention studies" in the interpretation).
The comparison with Perfetto in the video is pretty damn impressive. So nice to have another player in the profiler space. Iteration time is unfortunately (and inexplicably) undervalued.
My short time messing around with SpeedScope was more promising, but profiling in general has been pretty painful with all of the tools I've tried that ingest auto-traced input.

You mention in the "For Everyone Else" section that you have an auto-tracer system to instrument all your tracing. Aside from being very handy, how does it compare to [1] which you mention right after?

Would solving these painpoints be a market? Sounds interesting to delve into.
We don’t need any loogie guns, thank you so very much.
When turning around a company, it's not uncommon strategy to move fast even if it creates a little chaos. There's been business books written about it. Some call it chaos theory. The new ceo comes in makes some important early decisions, stirs the pot a little. Meanwhile, the things needing to get done get done. When dealing with a large or semi-large organization that has a strong built-in stasis, not sure there is a better way.

And, to be sure, Musk has gotten alot done in just a short time. He cut expenses, did a re-org of the company, and even did some product improvements, all while overseeing a massive document dump via the Twitter files in the interest of transparency. We can debate relative significance of all these things, but these are not trivial things.

But her husband is short! She’s just shorter. Most women are shorter than most men. No one is being gas lit. This article isn’t asking women to find men who are shorter than them. It’s just saying that height offers no real advantages in the present day.
If Steam Deck was being sucessful by having game studios write Steam Deck games like they bother with Android, iOS, Switch and PlayStation, that would be inovative, emulating Windows and DirectX via a translation layer, not really,
This does seem strange, as you can read and write whole files to/from the user's file system once they give your app permission.

Adding those API's to read/write parts of the file is the next logical step. But it looks like it is limited to the isolated OPFS only.
What worked for me recently is writing the journal entry of tomorrow, today. Not sure who invented this, but it worked. It helps the mind stop running negative scenarios. It’s similar I assume to the power of written goals, just a different flavor. The more specific and realistic it is the better. Writing “today I earned a million dollars” is less powerful than “today I showed up and was a little more focused than yesterday, I listened more, and was less distracted than yesterday”.

It helps you live in the moment, less worried, less auto pilot mode, helps you stop automatic behavior (getting upset / thinking negatively), this alone helps get better results in a non-supernatural way, hence increasing the minds faith in next day’s off by one journal entry.
The "Enter" may not work everywhere...
Show HN: Zig Without Unused Variable Error
In Zig, unused variables are errors, which many users find frustrating. I found this patch https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/335#issuecomment-10138... which removes unused variables. I forked Zig and put in this patch and published it on github so that others can more easily rebuild Zig without the unused variable error. Hopefully it saves a couple minutes for others out there!
IMO a lot businesses could/should be in the business of providing the API and leaving the UX to end users.

Especially dev/ops facing services where I want simple quick answers, not memorization of mouse motion, and click habits.

Services like DataDog, as an example, are inherently dev tools but their frontend is designed to distract and make you feel lost.

If a retro is needed, that’s when the pretty charts and graphs are useful.
How?? How can one achieve this power?
I can only imagine most people upvoting this to the #1 spot on HN haven't actually read the article.

It's filled from top to bottom with all sorts of weird arguments and logic that make little sense.

> The problem is we are still under the illusion, as a general principle, that more always adds value. --- He said the pursuit of height made sense in a capitalistic society. “Everything is big,” he said, “the buildings, the businesses,” and went on to explain that parents reflect the mind-set that bigger is better when envisioning their offspring.

The pursuit of height makes sense in any society, being on the taller end of the spectrum (or at least the middle) has enormous advantages for an individual. However, here's the counter-argument from the article:

> “There are some short people who thrive and do phenomenally well and lead fantastic lives, and there are some tall people who are miserable,”

If I had to paste every sketchy paragraph from the article here I'd literally have copy over almost the entire thing, I'm not being hyperbolic here.

Please read the article.
Is anyone aware of any dating app releasing data anymore? OKCupid used to, but that was before they were bought years ago. Some useful data I'm sure these apps all have access to:

- What are women filtering by on apps with height filters? I'd guess 5'9 as the floor if they're utilizing filters.

- The number of matches for men of differing listed heights.

It's hard to deny it's not a good time to be short if your goal is casual dating and flings. Longer term relationships? As a shorter person (5'8), I've never had issues.

The whining about height from some men, particularly online, is deafening though. We get it. It's more challenging. Work on other aspects of your life to be more attractive because nothing is changing in the ...short term.

Yep, this is actually why AWD is (usually) better than 4WD, because it can drive the single axle, treating it as a 2WD.
OK so the extremes of this are accepted but I’m genuinely not aware of the evidence that sodium concentration varies with minor shifts in “hydration” (an odd term to see in a medical article).

For example, we know that destroying the ion gradient in the kidneys through massive overconsumption of fluid and underconsumption of solute can lead to hyponatremia (“potomania”).

But this mechanism is not relevant in normal physiology. So I’m again wondering whether it is appropriate to be attributing sodium shifts to hydration. In the Intro, the authors really dance around this and do not address it. So I assume that there is not actually good evidence for their assertion.

You could, in contrast, easily sell me on the notion that sodium set points change with age, but that could have nothing to do with volume intake.

Then don’t.

Do you dispute that those technologies exist, and were developed by people dreaming of colonising Mars? The “when is the Mars launch” standard for “working on” something is a straw man because, by that definition, nobody is working on fusion energy or Alzheimer’s disease.
> I do need to confess: in my spare time, I have started working with the Val team

Indeed, I think this should have been made clear in the first section. I thought when the author said they have a bias it was more in the general sense, not that they are working on one of the languages in question.
The ARMSID can replicate most things perfectly, but it can't replicate the flaws.

The problem is the R1 has a bump on it so these don't really work: https://klsele.com/products/418/419/3771.html

If you can find those for 40-pin still, I would try padding them OR solder a frame + lid on the new motherboard or if you can find one of the RF shields that covered the whole left side of the motherboard (can't find a picture of it now, they are rare)... But yes the situation is tricky so I don't blame your solution really.

I know it's hard but ideally you would try to preserve this incredible chip, that is flawed like some old poststamp!
