> I'd like to feel more at ease with myself, feel more comfortable contributing in an authentic, confident, light-hearted way. But instead I'm often in my head over-analyzing instead of being present.

Two very important pieces of advice:

1. Feelings follow action. It's extremely difficult to "think yourself" into confidence, but if you act confident (even pretend to) you'll soon start feeling so.

2. Feeling comfortable is a result of competence. If you know you are going to do great, you will feel comfortable. So to feel at-ease, focus on building social skills.

When I was younger I realized I had mediocre social skills (I was outgoing, but also pretty awkward. One of the perks of spending too much time around computers growing up, I guess.). For a few years I prioritized fixing it, basically trying to get as much exposure to different social situations as I could (e.g. traveling internationally by myself, trying sales jobs, etc.) and got to a point where I'm usually the most social person in any group.

(Feels kinda weird writing that about myself, but we're on an anonymous forum, huh.)

I think doing something similar could help you a lot. Obviously depends a lot on where you are and what you want, but in general I think getting more experience & build competence in social skills would give you highest ROI on your time.

Happy to talk more if it's useful.

For non-Canadians, this is by design, our government carved out NAFTA-exempt industries (Grocers, Dairy, Telecom, and Banking) during NAFTA negotiations, subsequently creating protected industries from which we now have oligopolies.

Described algorithms ignore the ABA problem. The boost implementation avoids the ABA problem, but does not free up memory at all and stores pointers on 48 bits which is not enough on new architectures.

> You have a tendency to overengineer things.

Overengineering is an actual problem. For a tiny example, I'll see things like:

enum MAGIC = 67; // explanation
...
foo(MAGIC);

The use of MAGIC is the only one, and is far removed. A better solution is:

foo(67); // explanation

because it improves locality.

I also see things like an object fleshed out with all kinds of member functions that are never used.
Another mind-boggling thing about brain is how little power it uses to do all the complex things it does.
A recent change in Ardour that used int128_t did not break on ARM nor did it break on unoptimized x86_64 builds, but did break on optimized x86_64 builds. That's just one example of the sort of platform-specific madness that may need to be faced and chased down.
I used a Nissan Leaf as my thrice weekly commuter vehicle for several months. It couldn't quite make the full round trip on a 100% charge and there was nowhere to plugin at work. For a while, I'd go to Ikea at lunch and charge there during my lunch break. That was enough extra charge to make it all the way home but going to Ikea each day for lunch got old fast. Instead, I started stopping at charge point near a Fry's on the way home but even Fry's got boring after a few days. Then I discovered if I got off the freeway about fifteen miles earlier than my usual exit and used surface streets, I could make it home even though it was a bit longer distance and plenty of stop lights, stop signs, and traffic slower than the highway. I suspect the lower wind resistance at the slower speed is what provided the extra bit so I could get home with about nine miles of range showing on the dash. Probably wasn't good for the battery but it was the last few months of a lease and never ended up losing any bars of range. The anxiety sure was real.

> there will likely be a higher than average representation from people who would sit in the 10%

And also an under-representation of "average users".

Python the language has always benefitted from its relative simplicity, which I attribute to people like GVR saying "no" to specialized features that accrue on languages like barnacles on a ship (looking at you C++).

With newer languages we see core design teams being much more opinionated about tooling for build and dependendency/packaging management. This is no doubt in response to the dumpster fires of C++ and Python, where "the ecosystem will sort itself out" clearly hasn't worked.
For me it was very good out of the box Wayland support which made me use GNOME for a long time.
Not entirely, you can open a terminal and input a command to bypass it. It is kind of ironic, though, considering "open a terminal and input a command" is usually considered to be a take-that against GNU/Linux.

Given the amount of FISA abuse that has occurred, it's time to just admit that people in power cannot be trusted to not abuse the system.

They should either abolish it or change the law to put real penalties in place for abusing the system. Puting all of this machinery in place and then not providing a means to hold powerful people accountable for their actions when they abuse it is just asking for trouble.

> Realistically, this war is going to continue for another year or two, with the next presidential election in Russia playing a big role in how it ends. Food prices are going to increase unless there will be considerable government intervention to markets to cover the extra costs and to invest in production and logistics.

You're assuming there will be a next election in Russia... Putin and his pals are bent on turning what's left of Russia into North Korea, they don't believe in democracy.

The war will end when Putin is violently overthrown by a competing faction inside the Russian government. After all, most of these Russian politicians are just gangsters, not ideologues, and the war in Ukraine is bad for business.
How will you differentiate it from existing apps like Paprika or Mela?
Someone posted an article on HN recently that said the best way to detect a knock-off controller is that it'll cause the Linux driver to kernel panic.
I've definitely considered that. (I'm well-aware of my nickname's connotations, and I just don't care. :) )

But they index everything else on my site and don't prude out over that...
Your opening sentence reminds me of all the "baby" gravestones you see in old cemeteries; they didn't even bother naming you until they were pretty sure you'd live. On the other hand, the final curse of the Pharaoh was everyone losing their first born son. I wonder if it was more about the damage to the family for them
The definition of myth is a widely held or false belief. Read the article and it doesn't debunk the started in a garage story. All except Amazon, unsure if it was started in a garage but if it was it wasn't in the Valley but in Seattle.

I've visited those garages mentioned and as a founder it was inspirational. But today at least for SaaS its probably better in the early days if everyone works from home until there's some revenue.
"with the next presidential election in Russia playing a big role in how it ends"

I am sure Democracy will take over and Putin will be ousted by the voters...

j/k if not obvious...
It's kinda true in the case of Bezos except that the rented garage in question was apparently in Bellevue WA.

Something else in the story that is a real stretch was the bit about Fiorina and the "nearly irrelevant office-supply manufacturer" (HP). I mean HP was struggling and they sold a lot of printer ink but they were a major enterprise IT supplier.
Simpler option is to enter a@a.com and any password. It'll error and then let you create local account.
It is medically possible (and maybe even advisable) to get a colonoscopy without sedation. It's uncomfortable but no more uncomfortable than any other... rectal insertion, and a non-negligible fraction of the population does that recreationally.

However, I've also had doctors commit medical assault by sedating me even after I explicitly withheld consent, so be careful where you go and consider, idk, taking along an overzealous prosecutor or something. There's not much that can be done about medical assault.

30-40% of food in the U.S. is thrown out (43% of that at the household level, 40% at restaurant & grocery store level). The dissonance between this percent, 34 million food insecure Americans, and record high grocery prices is unreal. We need a serious change in both consumer behavior and grocery store & restaurant logistics/policy.
I don't know if I'd go _that_ far. There are a lot of great books out there.

To defrag the Linux demographic. If the two camps worked together on a future WM using all the things they’ve learned, maybe something great would come about. Having a single desktop for developers to target if they want to reach Linux users would be nice as well.

It seems like if trends continue, Electron will be pretty much the only way new software gets on Linux and as a platform, Electron sucks compared to KDE or Gnome.
Just a small note: it is not possible to unDRM books published post 2023 at this time. Amazon has changed their DRM scheme.
It’s not even possible in windows 11. You can leave Microsoft behind, or accept it and move on. I think apple does this too. You have options, but they don’t include Microsoft or apple. I think chromeos, for now, lets you opt out. I could be wrong about that.
He has every right to be mad but this post comes off as petulant and juvenile.
This forum is pretty heavily moderated, and its usefulness is largely because it is moderated. Back in the early days of HN the comparison was Reddit, which at the time was completely unmoderated (they didn't have subreddits or mods at the time), and Reddit was starting to become a cesspool of spam, low-effort posts, and offensive content. Many people moved over to HN simply because it avoided that. (And Reddit ended up introducing moderation a couple years later.)

Unmoderated forums work fine when they're a small group of people with a vested interest in preserving the norms of the community. They fail quickly if they can't establish barriers against the outside world that prevent people with no skin in the game from hijacking the community for their own agendas. The modern Internet is much more similar to the latter than the former.
Sounds good, but what should they do once woken up? Vote PC? NDP/Liberal alliance? Bloc? There is literally no one that wouldn’t ultimately bow to corporate interests (source: our entire history).

Lol, it sounds like people took LOST very seriously.
When i had a situation like this, I started trying to determine a few things.

A: is the information useful or helpful to something I'm actually doing? (Vs useful or helpful to a theoretical future plan)

B: do i already have enough information on this topic?

C: is the acquisition of this information causing me stress or taking too much time away from other things?

I did decide to stop reading psychology articles bc of this process. I have enough information about psychology to make reasonable decisions for myself, and continuing to read about it gets me into emotional states about the accuracy and uses of the information. After a while i realized that I'm no longer gaining anything from new information on this topic, and it would be more productive to spend time writing and working on my own ideas relating to the information i already have.
You just use the dependencies, for example:

$ cat /tmp/hello.py
#! /opt/appfs/rkeene.org/python3/platform/latest/bin/python3
print("Hello, world!".rjust(20, "-"))

$ /tmp/hello.py
-------Hello, world!
> That seems high

Its about on track with the US. In 2021, the US average expenditure for a family of four was 11,908 [1]. Converting USD into CAD yields... 15,938.56. And to add to the anecdote, I spent about 4,000 on food in 2022 just for myself, so that tracks personally at least.

This is all food, including dining. Dining prices are dominated by labor costs. But even raw food is currently challenging, with the war in Ukraine cutting off wheat growing and fertilizer production, and bird flu cutting supply of chicken and eggs.

It shows that you bounced off one of the artificial rails openAI added to minimize PR risk. The underlying model is certainly flexible enough to answer that question, it's just been deliberately crippled to try and make it seem less anthropomorphic.
To set expectations, I'm a proponent of copyright.

Making a copy for yourself via a camera is fine IMO (and by the law). Distributing it while still under copyright is not. Distributing it after copyright expires (or even once it's no longer available for purchase), again perfectly fine.
Thinking of my kids' future has also made me much more energy-conscious. Meaning I've stopped running my VM host 24/7 like I was, because neither ESX nor Proxmox is really set up for saving energy easily (automated suspending and waking, etc). Which is a shame, since I'm actually finding that with gigabit fiber at home, even on mobile connections I can work pretty decently on homelab VMs.

Running something like it on a laptop directly makes sense, but I worry about bringing some workloads back to my laptop that I really prefer to keep off it. In terms of raw performance my laptop isn't even close, especially with heavy graphic workloads. And then there's heat, etc.

I really liked your post, especially comparison in the introvert/extrovert thinking:

>Notice the difference in narrative:
>
> “That person looks interesting, I wonder what their story is?”
> “Maybe that person is interested in the same things as I am, I want to go find out.”
> “People go out to socialize, maybe they’re just a little shy at first.”
> “I noticed something interesting, but I don’t have anyone to tell. Maybe that person nearby feels the same way”.

I actually noticed something similar over time as I got more outgoing. I think that internal narrative is one of the most enjoyable indicators of becoming more extroverted.
Record classes arguably do a lot of the same thing without the drawbacks.

Good to know. What is the command? And what’s the shortcut to get a terminal?
It's a smart move. Lots of tech talent has moved to that area during COVID.
That's impressive. I can see accounting for the state of the world, weather, and the elevation change and cornering between A and B, but being able to generate counterfactuals "if X were true or Y were true" is strong stuff.
Yes. I guess I am talking about moral fairness as well.

When you design something in the open then it is... out in the open. That’s the default in our software culture.
True, but they'll take the path of less resistance. If breaking the DRM is not strictly necessary for copying, then as soon as breaking the DRM becomes more difficult than automating screenshots and OCR, I'd expect that to start happening.

The truth is though, I personally doubt ebook DRM is terribly impressive. Maybe I'm just wrong, but it seems like the reality is that people who break the DRM just don't bother publishing their tools anymore because the cat and mouse game isn't worth the trouble.
Well yeah, his life's work was destroyed at someone's whim with the flick of a switch.

Your first source talks about all the things 230 is and is not. It’s good information. But just because something is codified in law and decided in court cases does not mean that it is how the world ought to be. Agreed that under Section 230 as it is today, all the author says is true. But none of their content is about reforming or changing Section 230; it is all about interpreting it as it is today.

Regarding [2], it is wise (necessary?) for any online platform to obey laws in places where they operate. But when I read about censoring spam or hate speech for instance, I can’t help but think of the scene in Game of Thrones where (forgive my poor recollection) a wildling tells Jon snow how lacking in freedom he is despite thinking he is “free”. Anyone advocating for unabridged (legal) free speech ought to be aware of the fact that there will be speech they do not want to see on their platforms if they get it. That is the price of freedom.
I never relied on Twitter's API, since building stuff with it is akin to building your castle on other people's land. You're always going to be a tenant, and the API gatekeepers play landlord and can rugpull you without notice.
