While the author compares his problem to Alcohol addiction I was struck by the sentence: "It's gotten to the point where I don't really enjoy the video as much as the numb hypnotic state from consuming that much content."

This to me matches up most with gambling addiction. There is a great book on the subject that I recommend to the Author called "Addiction by Design" by Natasha Schull. The main thrust of her argument is that machine gambling addicts don't care about winning at all but have found gambling machines (slots, video poker mostly) as a reliable way to activate that "flow" state where the rest of the world falls away. It's mostly a study of the problem, very sobering, and there are some good resources at the end for getting help.

I think we're all addicted to this "flow" state. When it happens during programming it's the best feeling ever. Hours go by, no technical hurdle is too big, I can make more progress in 4 hours than 4 days of regular work, and everything just makes sense. I come out of it always wishing I could activate that feeling on command, but it never works reliably for productive things. Only vices, unfortunately.
did you try to get an internship or entry level job? you have a degree and appropriate entry level training, you dont need to do any more projects or tutorials

the actual experience will come from working on specific small tasks assigned to you + you should receive further guidance and training from senior colleagues

getting your foot into the door is not easy, but right now you should be slinging your CV left and right
You have friends from Kashyyyk?
I suggest you look into laws surrounding medical neglect of children. The first part of my comment was general, and is specifically describing this very type of parent, but not taken to an extreme. As far as my state laws go
"A parent who denies their child vital and necessary medical treatment faces the following consequences:

• Loss of custody. The child is taken to state custody for protection if the parent is found of negligence.

• Criminal charges. The parent may be charged with child abuse and neglect or even assault if it is proven that he or she has failed in providing the necessary medical attention for the child."

The state take will authority of both situations. I am not sure what the laws are regarding this where you are. HN is a globally accessible website, but discussions are generally US-centric. It wasn't outside the context, I was just not focusing on the very extremes. After you've interacted with this type of parent once or twice, it becomes very easy to identy harmful behavior. I do mean interact with parents that ended up losing custody over neglect. I hope you empathize more with the children stuck in these situations after reading some of the cases. I am not 100% sure what you are attempting to argue.

In my state becoming aware of such behavior and failing to report itself is a crime. I think the crime part only officially applied during when I was associated as an employee of a univeristy and teaching high schoolers. I know I had to do mandated reporter training. The law states every single state resident is a mandated reporter, but I am not sure about the consequences for residents.

The reason vaccination is not covered under this law is because there is it's hard to prove the harm of denying vaccines, in a legal way. There are plenty of people, especially healthcare professionals, that wish vaccination was covered under this kind of law. It is true in some states but not all.

"Results. Our search yielded 9 cases from 5 states. Most courts (7 of 9) considered vaccine refusal to constitute neglect. In the 4 cases decided in jurisdictions that permitted religious exemptions, courts either found that vaccine refusal did not constitute neglect or considered it neglect only in the absence of a sincere religious objection to vaccination.

Conclusions. Some states have a legal precedent for considering parental vaccine refusal as medical neglect, but this is based on a small number of cases. Each state should clarify whether, under its laws, vaccine refusal constitutes medical neglect."

It also converges closer and closer to the golden ratio. Implementing a property test for that would be interesting.

How to build a successful startup: Lessons from Waze's URI Levine
I want my systems functional, efficient, snappy.

One of the first things I do on a new device is to disable animations and similar "eye candy". On Gnome it's hidden, but can be changed with gnome-tweek-tools ; on Android it's hidden too, in the developer options that you have to unlock (7 taps on build number).

In both cases, those animations easily lose frames and are distracting, without talking about the frivolous power spending on portable devices, but they are enabled by default and not easily removed.

It bugs me to jo end that wrong priorities seem to apparently be the norm.
Yeah, I had to heavily edit the piece to ensure that it wasn't a mini-novella.

So, for more context on factoring, there are two types - recourse and non-recourse. Recourse factoring means that the factoring company can come back and ask the driver for their money back. Generally, the rates for recourse factoring are lower (by 20-50 basis points only because the default rate in drivers is quite high).

Non-recourse factoring is something that the industry is transitioning to. Most of the startups offering factoring today are doing non-recourse. The problem with that approach is that fraud rates rise exponentially. Not too sure how the landscape will look even 6 months from now as easy capital goes away.
I'll sometimes keep my belt loose when the seatbelt sign is off for an extended period. I know I won't leave my seat in case of really bad turbulence but worst case I might rise up a few inches. Obviously if the plane broke apart, a seatbelt probably isn't going to save me but leaving it loose is a nice compromise between safety and comfort.
Unix/Linux is successful because for decades its apparently been ok to ignore the gaping security hole specifically left out of the cloning of Multics. Without a way to run untrusted executables, it us completely unfit for the current 24/7 connectivity and mobile code environment we find ourselves inhabiting. We've patched around it with VMs and Containers, but we all just need a way to hand a file to an untrusted program, and that's the balls part of Multics that Unix cut away.

That's crazy. Where do you live? In Poland I just skipped the insurance system to get ADHD meds and went to a psychiatrist specialising in ADHD privately - $70 for a 20 minute visit seems a bit steep but it's better than waiting years.

Could you possibly do something similar?
Is there any "battery-included" ANS Forth (more or less like Python/Go) which provides access to concurrency, networking, database, GUI, etc?

Not an embedded device programmer, but mostly deals with frontend apps, and occasionally backend, so those are very relevant to me.

Or perhaps use "non-traditional" Forths like 8th (https://8th-dev.com) or Factor (https://factorcode.org)?
Nope. Applied and interviewed a half dozen places in the past 6 months. Didn’t use a cover letter. But for sure be ready to chat about why you want the job.
I decided that I could make the fulminate recipe, and asked my grandfather —- who had taught me to make cap gun material —- to get the stuff I would need. He asked me again, to make sure he heard me right, and then flatly told me no. He said he loaded shells for WWII, and that’s what they put in the detonating tip. He said it was so sensitive, they tested it by shooting shells through PAPER. I gave up on my dreams of making anything from the book after that.
You seem to be sad due to lack of progress. When I got started, I spent way more than 3 months to get a grasp of the basics.

But I never felt tired because I really enjoyed the process. So my question is, do you enjoy the process of tinkering ?(which has got nothing to do with your degree or background) Or are you learning to code for some other reason?

If not, you should switch your line of work. If yes, then you should get an internship. Learning from others is the fastest way, atleast when you are just getting started.
In many contexts, there's just no such thing as a safe behavior change which should be allowed without a specific decision from you to allow it. As a database systems guy, I've seen countless examples of customer breakages caused by a developer's decision that some behavior or another is so trivial it doesn't need to be tested.

When you're working on developing a random utility function (real example!), it's easy to say "come on, it's no big deal to return DECIMAL(14, 4) instead of DECIMAL(12, 3)". It feels like they're basically the same, updating the test is make-work, and the guidelines saying you must document it as a breaking change are pointless annoyances. It's hard, requiring substantial amounts of knowledge and expertise, to recognize that this change will cause a production outage because the schema of a customer's view is no longer write-compatible with their existing data.
All of them. Audio CDs subdivide tracks with index marks. They are rarely used for general purpose and few hardware or software players expose index navigation now. However, every track has a lead-in at index 0 and the main program at index 1. When you skip tracks you start playback at N.1. You only hear N.0 when playing through from the previous track. There is no limit to what can be in the lead-in and some discs would hide bonus "tracks" in 1.0 which is often skipped over by hardware players but can be manually navigated to with the index buttons.
There no crime for being an atheist or Muslim.

Some cultures are just more violent ( eg. Look at fifa world cup and marocco people through Europe).

Are you denying that they are more violent?

Impact of breakfast skipping compared with dinner skipping
Yeah, fair-

a) agree that control of the pipes means control of the populace, consent can be manufactured, etc. That's pretty intuitive however I have not studied the mechanics of influence enough to have a sense of what can be done with Twitter and how effective it can be on a capital basis to judge whether it is worth the capital, and while the Saudis, eg have infinite money and are definitely opening new large scale influence fronts now (golf, etc)- the actual debt holders in twitter are banks with public balance sheets and they need to be paid. It seems like the min yearly operating budget for twitter as an influence service is $2B- that's real money

b) agree completely that there are innumerable right wing outlets entirely unsustained by eg ads, but many operators like Murdoch, Sinclair, are extremely profitable. So I would think there is a hope/vision it can be both effective on the influence side and also profitable or at least economically balanced

That doesn't make a difference. With most of the stuff, images will only be pulled when they are not locally present or stale. Ie pull if not present in K8. So doesnt make any difference.
> get the itch to do another one.

If you really want to satisfy that itch you should try building a Forth computer from scratch. Back in the 80s a friend showed me how to build a Forth CPU from PLAs (might have been some earlier cheaper form of programmable logic, heheh) and SRAM plus a little random logic. By the end of the weekend we were running floppy drives and a crt with it.

I haven't read _Racing the Beam_, but the impression I get is that while the 2600 looks crazy, it actually wouldn't be that difficult or insane to write a graphics kernel to generate the screen layout you need. It's just a matter of keeping track of what line you're on and feeding in the correct data. It seems tedious, but that's what computers are for.

Once the graphics kernel is written, it just a matter of playing with the data that's fed into it.

The real challenge, it seems, it simply that there are so few cycles left over to implement the actual game logic.
I'm not(err no longer) fooling myself that I'm learning like I would be by methodically working through a textbook, but it's fun, an improvement to what I was doing before, the most I can consistently muster when I'm zapped after work, not harmful like the toxically engaging political/social content, and inspires me with interesting topics to read further about later. I've accumulated a pile of books on subjects I've listened to talks about and hope to transition to those someday soon when I can manage to get out of the funk I've been in and have more mental energy. I'm already working on the lighter books, but haven't had made it to textbooks yet.
I think its interesting in the discussion of bullshit in the humanities article there is no knowledge or acknowledgement of published bullshit in STEM. And yet pretty much every competent STEM academic is going to have seen a lot of it, perhaps more than in the humanities. There's a reason for citation counts and impact numbers being rewarded more than the raw number of publications when it's time for making tenure decisions.
I did that but it doesn’t play nice with containers on the same host and they lose wan access (but have lan access). I run it separately now.

We interviewed students at a very expensive local university to do some writing for my startup. We were stunned at the number of them who couldn't string together a 5 paragraph essay that was (1) spelled correctly (!!!!), (2) grammatically correct; and (3) contained coherent, logical thoughts. iirc we interviewed 5, and 3 failed on 2 or more of the previous points.

It appears to be possible to be an undergrad at Santa Clara, presumably with passing grades, while being... not exactly illiterate, but essentially so.

I know this sounds like a grandpa yelling get off my lawn, but our standards were not super high. Correct spelling, correct grammar, and a simple 5 paragraph essay with a clear thesis and supporting arguments.
The most interesting part is the (IMO usually poor!) reasoning by the judges, whether right or wrong. It's clear that most people have no idea what AI finds "difficult", and try to generalize either from what's difficult for human artists, or what it's difficult to simulate with traditional digital techniques.

I would be interested in a comparison between image generators and artists with high technical skill but who focused their efforts into extremely kitsch/commercial work. I think the AI would see more "success" there.
`When the system began having problems Tuesday night, technicians switched to a backup. But because the backup was attempting to access the same damaged data, it also didn’t work, the person said. `

That's not a backup. Sounds like they have standby hardware for one tier of the architecture which they switched to, but since it wasn't a hardware failure it didn't change anything.

One hopes they review not only their processes which allowed (one assumes) a configuration change to be applied without being verified, but also their backup strategy...
I'm being pedantic, but the tool really answers the question "what fonts can my typeface make?". Fonts are specific configurations (size, boldness, italicization, etc) of a typeface.
As if.

I've seen a rather disturbing amount of malfeasance by educators, where they award the highest grade to anyone who even moderately puts in an effort. Many educators even waving away their responsibility to accurately determine aptitude and assign grades accurately.

Grade grubbing alone has infiltrated even the most prestigious, and I find it hard to believe that the average student is that much better than their counterparts up to 70 years ago. Even the average student at these institutions. I just don't believe we can trust educators to do their job. I remember arguing back and forth with an educator who believed their only job is to 'educate', where if someone learned something, then they have done their job. I could not believe it. I'd understand if it was from a grade school perspective, but this person was teaching at a university. Another educator on HN no more than a few weeks ago in a related thread said their perspective is to not deal with the students, parents, and administration who will hound them about grades, they said something along the lines of "giving people an A will stop this, and who cares anyway? The best of the best will go on to do research, side projects, etc. anyway".

Speaking towards the article, "Humanities" absolutely deserve their reputation, even among research where they have a perpetual replication crisis, hilarious events such as Sokal and Grievance Studies affairs. If you don't want this reputation, take a hit towards funding, call out poor research, in fact don't allow poor research to even get near publication. Reject more students. It is clear standards are low, raise them, significantly. You can make mistakes, but I hardly if ever see them corrected in a timely fashion. I should not see articles where a US state is considered to be higher in terms of voter suppression compared to North Korea.
Samuel Johnson refuted Bishop Berkley by kicking a stone. He got that wrong, but no AI to date knows what kicking a stone is like. Or anything other than what is written or drawn. Our development as humans starts with physical experience. When we eventually read about something we have a sense of what that thing is. AI does not.

That may be true, but it's not quite that.

In Savoy Court, vehicles are required to drive on the right. This is said to date from the days of the hackney carriage when a cab driver would reach his arm out of the driver's door window to open the passenger's door (which opened backwards and had the handle at the front), without having to get out of the cab himself. Additionally, the hotel entrance's small roundabout meant that vehicles needed a turning circle of 25 feet (7.6 m) to navigate it. This is still the legally required turning circle for all London cabs.[1]

I had to fill out a huge document (30 pages) going over my childhood and adult life, issues I face(d), and all kinds of other little things, as well as some multiple choice assesments. My mother had to fill out another set of documents (10 pages) about me. They required any and all report cards I had as a kid.

I had to get that all together and done before I went, because the clinic is a 2.5 hour drive meaning it wasn't practical to spend a ton of time there.

The actual clinic time consisted of an interview that took ~2 hours and seveal tests. The only test I remember clearly was something called the CPT test, because I thought what they were asking me to do was actually impossible (don't press the X when it's shown).

After that I had a follow up virtual call a few weeks later to discuss the results and they provided me with a document about all the testing, results, and steps going forward. In their own words I have "severe inattentive ADHD".

My main issue is if you know exactly what to tell them of course you'll be diagnosed, it's not like a physical issue that you can't fake. Someone seeking a diagnoses just for drugs could easily have gotten it. Additionally it was a private clinic and I worry there was some incentive for them to provide the result they thought the client wanted.
I get the complaint, I guess, but what possible benefit is there in demanding such a massive change? Changing the name of ASF would likely cost millions of dollars over the span of months or years. Why? What is there to gain?

The word "Apache" can now only be used in the context of native Americans, great. Now what? The global exposure of the word has decreased by 90%. What did you gain?

I really don't see this as harmful to the Apache people in any way, but I guess I am just some white dude. It seems very frivolous with no real end goal in mind. I genuinely can't come up with any benefits for anyone if ASF were to change their name.

I'm not saying the Apache people can't or shouldn't demand this change, but I am asking why. It just doesn't make any sense.
Either you've never been on a plane before and are going to be nervous and likely listening to the safety briefing or you're an experienced flyer who's heard the speech many times and are going to do what you want. Air incidents are so rare that most people will never experience anything more than mild turbulence so they become complacent.
Storing and retrieving photos, files, music, exactly identical to how they were before, is what computers do.

Save a photo on your computer, open it in a browser or photo viewer, you will get that photo. That is the default behavior of computers. That is not in dispute, is it?

All of this machine learning stuff is trying to get them to not do that. To actually create something new that no one actually stored on them.

Hope that clears up the misunderstanding.
That starts to run only after the injured person has knowledge of the infraction.
