To be frank, they are entirely different religions. Vajrayana is essentially Tibetan bon mixed with Hinduism.

Some of the most obvious differences are the rules for the monks. In vajrayana once you reach a certain state of enlightenment or convince your followers, you've reached a certain state. You essentially can do whatever you want and claim it's for the benefit of the students. In the pali canon, an arahat would follow the same rules as a monk who had been ordained for one day. Which would be no inconvenience to them, because there would be no desire to break any of the rules. Which is a direct contradiction. In vajarayana, a monk could have sex with his student as a means of helping them. According to the historical Buddha, that person is immediately no longer a monk. They essentially dismiss the entire pali canon as a lower teaching.

They also think that personal enlightenment/arahatship is a bad thing and that you should keep being reborn to help others. There are entire books written about why that doesn't make sense, but it's against the entire purpose of what the Buddha taught.

There are also a lot of teachings about the self that are categorically listed as wrong view in the pali canon.

I don't want to come of like I'm hating on the school or anyone who practices in it, but it's far from 'Buddhism' in a historical context. There are still many wise and compassionate people who have dedicated their lives to it.
Or you could lose nearly everything if it goes sour, I think it’s important to point that out.

That’s basically equivalent to betting on options (but wrapped up in a way that looks simple). Always remember XIV.
Scams are increasingly common. "Since when" is, say, sometime in the past 10 years.

It's partly due to technology completely removing barriers to entry and providing global and powerful amplification, coupled with sociocultural "bonkers insanity" (a technical term) where almost everything has become an advertise or a performance or etc, which has its own effect of lowering barriers and amplification.

The feedback loops there just accelerate it.

It's not new (watch any set of TV infomercials, or most of what happens on QVC or Home Shopping Network or whatever the equivalents to these things are today) but there really is more of it, and they're getting better at it, as above.

I’d buy property. Or better yet buy land and build housing.

It’ll generate a couple thousand a month. It’s low risk, generates income, easily transferable to heirs.
I’ve also found myself drifting away from Buddhism but I’ve been really excited to discover Taoism and the Taoist roots of Zen, which I think are often overlooked. As I’ve explored Taoism more I’ve found it contains many of the things I found wonderful about Zen Buddhism and far fewer of things that didn’t work for me. If you’re curious I suggest exploring it!

Some resources I liked:
Alan Watt’s book on Zen Buddhism talks a bit about Taoism in the beginning since it’s an important foundational aspect of zen.

The Tao Te Ching translation by red pine, which pairs each verse with a sampling of interpretations for various scholars. It’s been a fantastic way to learn, by far my favorite translation.
>This would be no-problem if cities built more houses

"Just build more houses" is not something that scales infinitely. Long commute distances and geography tends to get in the way with stuff like hills, mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, etc. while demand from foreigners and tourists will stay virtually infinite.

At which point do you stop building and say your city can't house more people without ruining the character that makes it a desirable city in the first place?

Should we level Lisbon's 2-4 story housing and turn it into a dystopian city with hundred story megablock towers like in Judge Dredd, just so that everyone in the world who wants to move to Lisbon has a place to live there? But then people won't want to live there anymore if Lisbon is just megablocks.

An oblique thing I love about the Elixir ecosystem is that there is a strong focus on visual and aesthetic attention to detail. I mean look at those multibars in the asciinema. They're gorgeous for a console. In this, I'm reminded of R vs Python, where the former simply has far better graphics capabilities than the latter. In the Elixir case, I can't help but compare the look and feel of Livebooks compared with Jupyter Notebooks. The former are miles ahead in terms of a modern visual experience. It's very pleasant especially if you're expected to have an audience for your output, which kind of contrasts with python which always feels like it's built for engineers (and there's nothing wrong with that, but it is a different culture).

Good luck with the shorting but 10% seems kind of steep. I guess if there's a >10% risk they go to zero in a year it's ok. I shorted Tether briefly on Kraken and then was horrified to find they were charging me ~25% per year for so doing.

This is the way, even with 1-5% of what you have. Especially for the current state of the market.

coreboot/libreboot? I still keep the 8-pin chip clip I used, even thought I'm probably never going to flash another chip using it again (terrible contacts), but at least a good memory!
Right, yeah, absolutely no argument that there was significantly bad communication from IOI about compatibility - that was a clusterfuck.
This only works for certain motherboards that have support for flashing the BIOS from USB without a even a cpu or memory populated.

I'm not sure, but think that functionality requires at least some part of the previous BIOS to be intact.

If this solution doesn't exist/work, you will need to go the route of finding the (often undocumented, sometimes unpopulated) SPI flashing header, and using an external device to directly write a working BIOS onto the SPI flash chip.

I think I've already explained multiple times what good criticism is. I'll repeat it with some other tips. Always present criticism in a helpful way. Be as respectful as possible every time. Only give feedback that you yourself would be willing to hear from someone else. Make sure the other person is comfortable with you before offering criticism. Never offer criticism unless you're also willing to offer to help. Acknowledge that sometimes your criticism could be wrong and apologize when it is. Accept that sometimes you have no useful criticism to give and in those cases, the best course of action is to stay quiet. Present new information each time instead of repeating old information. Use the "feedback sandwich" and always pair your criticisms with equal or higher amounts of praise. Avoid criticizing in areas that you're not qualified in. For code, that means don't talk about it unless you've personally studied that code in detail. Avoid personal attacks. Avoid trash talking. Avoid starting fights. Avoid continuing old fights. Avoid holding grudges. Avoid rumors and hearsay. Avoid "ranking" people against each other. Never look at anything in terms of "opposing sides." Avoid creating situations where one person wins and the other loses. Remember that everyone is on the same team and as a good community member, the ultimate goal of your criticism is to support others and create situations where everyone can win.

This is fairly generic advice and it all isn't even related to GNOME. This is a general guideline for any healthy community. You can read about all this in random books about community building. If you want to be part of open source you just have to be a good community member, there's literally nothing else to open source. That's why I say it's unacceptable to do those negative things. There just isn't any other way this works. These are communities of equals, you aren't the boss and no one else is your boss either, so it's on you to manage your own conduct.

I'm trying to be kind to you but you're making it difficult when you lead by saying nasty things about people I know, like they're acting shitty just because they declined to implement a feature that you were personally invested in and they weren't. And you keep insisting that they have to do this or they deserve it or something like that. Please just don't do that, it makes it extremely hard to engage with you when I have to keep going through this wall of "but don't you see this other person sucks" or that type of thing. You're automatically putting everyone else on defense when you do that and it messes up the whole conversation.
GPT-derived content is going to be watery and thin, too, though. The value of it for the OP is likely as much in human curation as anything else.
This is true, almost all "string" operations require you to know extra information about the string's "type"—which, yes, includes its encoding.

Python 3 takes this fact and runs with the stance that strings should, by default, carry their encoding with them (and that encoding is specifically, more or less, a sequence of quasi-Unicode code points with unspecified internal representation). But this is an intensely half-baked solution to the wrong problem, because you need to know much more about a string than its encoding for just about any string operation you'd want to do. Just with Unicode code point concatenation, you can run into plenty of trouble with:
- strings containing control characters
- strings with unpaired surrogates (which okay, shouldn't really be there, but get used for various reasons anyway)
- strings containing combining characters
- strings in different natural languages
- strings in languages with ligatures
- strings with ligature-like emoji
(and this is obviously not remotely close to exhaustive.)
It depends on the tradition I guess. Mahamudra and Dzogchen have been in Vajrayana traditions since they were developed around Bengal over a thousand years ago, and are a major part of that yana's training. It's also not just for monks, as there's the Ngagpa in Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan.

Whether or not you learn it at home is complicated, as it'd depend on so many things -- lineage/yana, caste/social class, country/region, etc.

This quote summarises everything that is wrong with Agile.

>> rarely well implemented.

The Agile Manifesto was published in 2001, over two decades ago. After all this time, and the involvement of a lot of clever people, even Agile advocates are stating it is rarely well implemented. Doesn't that suggest that Agile, as a management technique, has failed?

True Agile is appears to be as elusive as the holy grail.
For me, Agile is about risk migitation by early knowledge building.

This is like saying there should be a warning for every single website that it lifts your IP address and user agent.
I do something similar, albeit a bit more bare-bones. I keep my dotfiles in a dotfiles folder that is a git repo and then just have a simple script to symlink everything.

I have a couple of submodules in there (zplug, pyenv) and a bash script to keep them up to date, and then a few self managed binaries, like fnm. That's about it.

I don't bother trying to manage anything outside of home or deal with secret values by using something like git-secret.

Overall, it works great and has allowed me to keep track of how my core tools are configured without too much hassle.

"Put it in SP500 via $VOO" is valid advice. An extra 10% - 40% of that into US total bond market $BND will go quite a ways to de-risking. So will another 20% in $VXUS for international stock market exposure.

I would personally recommend 50% $VTI, 20% $VXUS, 30% $BND. bogleheads.org for the reasoning why.

Flatly ignore anyone recommending 3x leverage HFEA gambling addict nonsense. Listening to them, your portfolio would be down 62% to $260k this year, worse than 09 great recession.
Or, as Byrne put it, the author

really writes about the decline of the entertainment mogul. When content gets matched to audiences based on algorithmic signals, it's harder for dealmakers and talent-spotters to have a place. After all, a dealmaker is just an inefficient implementation of an auction algorithm that sometimes takes sick days, and a talent-spotter is limited by both the scope of their attention and the biases in their taste.
I would never argue for curtailing self expression. A drug analogy might actually work here. I would say, it's fine, smoke the weed. But be careful little ones, because lately I've been seeing you smoking weed and alcohol together and the latter will take a hold of you. I hope that makes sense, and it's the best middle ground I can find in this exchange.
Agreed - from a philosophical perspective it's distasteful for a company to be "successful" purely because they can "do underhanded business better" rather than because they are genuinely providing a better product. If that was the sole criticism, I'd entirely understand and support it. I'm trying to understand the claim that exclusivity is "awkward" rather than the claim that it's morally distasteful. If the game-service is free, and if you can launch the game directly with a desktop icon, why is your life complexified by the fact that a different launcher is used "under the hood"?

To be clear, I am not disagreeing with your points at all. I am asking about a different point.
We have these in newer buildings here too, but definitely confusing if you're only used to the classic elevator system.
well, I guess I phrased it poorly, since this isn't really my intention and a couple of you understood it that way. Maybe it was my subconscious at the time to write? :P I guess what I meant is that I take up on every new thing from a serious/work/need to get good at mindset.
There have been interesting threads in the past with similar "how to invest" questions. HN might have a larger than usual amount of company founders or FAANG-level salaried employees.

> 1. The goal is to end suffering, so if a practice is making you suffer stop doing it.

That's correct: the goal is to end suffering - by means of understanding it.

Thus the understanding is important to distinguish there's indeed suffering that leads to the end of suffering -- like Ajahn Chah using analogy of going to the dentist (in itself is a suffering) to end the suffering of dental pain.
It's an interesting video. It's worth considering the excess deaths mentioned in the context of the nurse and paramedic strikes occuring I believe during the period.

Government medical workers in the UK stages a series of strikes in mid-late December, and although there were agreements to provide minimum safe cover (i.e. respond to life threatening ambulance calls, minimum safe staff on wards) it wouldn't be supprising if these excess deaths were related to understaffing / slow response times. In particular a peak in deaths in private homes during an ambulance strike seems... related? I was supprised this went unmentioned by the speaker and makes me distrust him a little.

The UK and perhaps other european countries are also experiencing a broad medicine shortage for reasons that are unclear to me.

If your app slows down the user by having to make repetitive tasks because your UX is lacking, then there's a whole lot of no responses to your questions. Not really sure how that's hard to comprehend. Eliminating repetitive tasks is why we invented computers. Using a computer to create a new method of repetitive tasks is not good use of those computers or the user's time.

It's like the first gens of iOS that did not allow for copy&paste. Was that a shallow bit of feedback? No, because it's some of the most basic functionality a user would expect to be there. If iOS and no copy&paste was released in the 1980s, it might have been forgiven. Since it was released in 2007 after anyone using computing had seen/used copy&paste and the competing product did have that functionality, it was a huge slight against it. Was copy&paste the core functionality? Probably not, but it was a huge hindrance.

After getting past the fact this is node based editing, it's pretty much an image editor after that. Again, if anything you try to implement is less than pre-existing software, what's the point. So, when you present an application that is supposed to be paradigm shifting, you better be backing it up. Again, don't want public comments, don't post the software to public forum created solely for public commenting.
