Earlier today I sent my SO a long string of text messages about a problem that I was having, including one of them that said "I feel like garbage." I was feeling really down. They didn't respond to any of the text messages; when they got home, I asked them about it, and it seemed like they just sort of skimmed them and they didn't notice that one in particular. I didn't mention it; I just let it go.

Do I "not understand how I feel" because I feel lonely right now? Or is communication not a one way street? Most of the time when I miscommunicate with someone, I find it's as much about their not wanting to understand as it is about my being unclear.

As a man, I have lots of people in my life who love me, but they consistently fail to take notice of my emotional needs. When I express that I have emotional needs, all I get in response is a "deer in the headlights" look, from other men, from women, from parents, from friends, from my SO. So usually I just keep them to myself because I don't see the point in asking for something that someone can't offer me - a tremendously lonely experience. Do I "not understand myself?" Am I not speaking clearly enough? No, the idea that I might need something from the people who rely on me terrifies them, and they freeze up and stutter and generally are unable to offer me any assistance.

And of course, I'm sure all of us experienced during the pandemic the loneliness of not having access to other people or being able to fulfill your social needs - distinct from the loneliness of being with people who don't understand you.
I share your frustration. I found a workaround that solves it for me:

When I want to talk to my phone or my watch I don’t say “Hey Siri” anymore, I just hold down the lock button (aka use it the old way). That activates Siri on the device without triggering any other devices. Since I generally have my watch or phone at hand, this has solved the issue for me. Still I wish the detection for “which device am I talking to” was better.

Ask HN: Teaching 4-year old about computers/programming?
For folks with young kids, have you found any great apps or resources on getting them started with computers/programming?

My kid is 4, so he's probably too young for things like Scratch, but I'd love to get him comfortable with computers. Since I spend a lot of my time at home working on my laptop, he'll show interest and I'll open up an empty Google Doc where he will type letters (his name, his brother's name, etc).

Would love to get him started with other foundational things, like proper typing, simple logic puzzles, etc, but nothing too gamey/addictive, and nothing that tries to push him beyond his age.

Does anyone with kids have advice on what to use?
> They just think they do because they don't have the infrastructure in place

My experience is management is often so weak they can't write a few points on a slide of how to onboard and grow a junior dev. So everybody is senior and unwilling to expose areas where they may be weak.
The only fact I know of in this area which I think is well established is that smoking a lot of cigarettes over a long period of time is bad for your health.

Landlords tolerate eviction moratorium with covid because only a fraction of their tenants stopped paying.

I think a scenario where just a few million or whatever were effected you are correct. However if it was almost everyone, landlording would become a straight up mob. You'd have to employ violence and bypass the state to maintain the properties and enterprise. No one would rent out property the legal way if they couldn't collect the rents.

I think the philosophical questions here are very interesting:

1. What should be the end result of capitalism’s goal to convert human effort into durable societal infrastructure? Should it be to create heaven on earth? ie. an elimination of scarcity and a control over entropy?

2. Does heaven require an omniscient, omnipresent god? If it does exist, should we aim to destroy it to “improve heaven”? If it doesn’t exist, should we aim to create it to “improve heaven”?

My guess is one package could trigger a whole cascade of -fp packages being installed as dependencies and basically reinstall your whole system.

I find `typer` way more ergonomic than either argparse or click (which it uses under the hood).

If you're developing something more complex, you might find the feature set too small, but you can get surprisingly far with what's there.

The benefits from its type safety and lack of boilerplate alone are enough to keep me using it in favour of anything else.

That's almost refreshing to hear. When I was in the US Navy 2004-2010, pretty much all alcoholism was aggressively swept under the rug.

Per Navy regulations, anyone who gets a DUI is required to attend rehab. We had a Reactor Operator on my submarine who got two DUIs. He requested rehab in writing twice and was twice denied because "ship's schedule does not support". Then he re-enlisted, I can't imagine why. A few weeks after re-enlisting he got a third DUI. His wife divorced him, he attempted suicide, and then he was discharged and was allowed to keep his bonus.

Our Chief of the Boat (equivalent to Command Master Chief or Command Master Sergeant) was an extreme alcoholic and several sailors filed complaints in writing alleging that he showed up to work visibly drunk regularly, always having driven himself to work. The command ignored that too.

Extreme alcoholism, getting black-out drunk multiple nights per week, getting hospitalized for alcohol poisoning once per year, committing drunken assault and/or vandalism and having your division Chief sweep it under the rug and then extort you to re-enlist was common on my ship. I spoke to friends on other ships and it appears that this was the norm throughout the Pacific submarine fleet in 2010. Rotten to the core.

I'm sorry, but this perspective is absolutely bizarre to me.

We should not avoid language features that reduce boilerplate and drastically increase comprehension for for people who have experience in a language in order to cater to people who have minimal or no experience in that language.

Should we not use `?` in Rust because it might be obscure to someone who's never used the language? Should we not use any of the `Iterator` functions (including `zip` and `map`) because they might be confusing to C programmers who only know `for` loops?

Functional concepts are everywhere these days. Most of them are not hard. `zip` and `map` do not require understanding of homotopy type theory to understand, they are essentially trivial functions. They are available across every type you could possibly iterate over in Rust, and if you understand what they do on one of those you essentially understand what they do on all of them.

This is a toy example, but virtually every piece of hard evidence we have in this field shows that—within reason—more concise code has fewer bugs and is easier to comprehend than longer, more verbose equivalents. Writ large across a project, doubling or tripling the amount of code to bend over backwards accommodating complete novices is lunacy.

All of those skins are open source and their repos are browsable on Wikimedia's Gerrit. Here's good old MonoBook: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/plugins/gitiles/mediawiki/ski...

For most old Wikimedia-maintained skins, the maintenance commits are largely automated build and translation changes, though they do still keep them kind of viable for modern features like notifications, or major architectural changes.

For example, MediaWiki 1.35 added Mustache templating: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:How_to_make_a_MediaWik...

the fact that SQLite is a library (embedded DB) means only one node can access the DB at a time. This would not be appropriate for many apps that require HA.

Definition 1 is wildly inaccurate.

Even if we take it as valid, how are you going to communicate who you are to others who aren't equipped to understand? As an extreme example, consider being dropped into another nation where they speak a language you have no knowledge of. Without shared language and culture, you can't hope to be understood.

Doesn't mean you can't be surrounded by helpful, caring people (friends?), though, which is why this argument is completely flawed from the get-go.

> Given China's proven ability to develop high-tech products and manufacture at scale, why would you doubt that it's capable of producing modern military hardware?

Oh, they are certainly capable - but unlike the US, nothing what the Chinese build in terms of heavy equipment has been tested in an actual battle, neither has the logistics of their army or the command structure, both of which Russia sorely lacks in Ukraine. In contrast, the US has all three aspects nailed and refined for decades.

Also... who says that it's not all just a paper tiger? Everyone was scared about the T-14 Armata or a lot of other Russian stuff that was in reality just fraud everywhere along the chain. China suffers just the same problems with endemic corruption and a yes-men attitude as Russia does.

No, Chrome only runs on newest amd64 Linux/Windows/Mac.

For modern browser, there is compatible Firefox fork Mypal where older version works also on ReactOS. It can be installed on ReactOS 32bit from GUI package manager included in ReactOS, and I have also copied it to here:

https://releases.wekan.team/mypal/

When I tried, newer versions of Mypal did not work on ReactOS 32bit.

ReactOS 64bit is still more unstable, not much works on it.

For older Windows versions like WinXP etc, that Microsoft does not support anymore, there are some replacements for Windows Update, like http://legacyupdate.net , some others are also listed at https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Windows . When I tried it, it installed most updates, but not Windows Live Essentials and some other update.

The usual setup is that an extremely corrupt goverment leader takes out a loan that gives enough money for him to be reelected and put a bit away for himself.

In return he increases income taxes, devalues the money and sets up the country for exporting luxury goods that are needed for 1st world countries (but local people would have no chance of buying) why destroying their own agriculture, so that they have to import inferior mass manufactured products from rich countries. On the long term the countries have to give back 10-20 times the original loan that is gone in a few years.

Does any of this sound familiar to you?
> Contrast that with the topic of the article at hand, which is a solution for a non-problem and serves no purpose.

See, the Republicans can say the exact same thing about this as above: “the work from home ban is not meant to spite anyone: it is a legitimate attempt to increase the low productivity of federal employees, regardless of whether you, as an opponent, don’t believe it will be effective”.

You exhibit a typical liberal blind spot of “everything we do is for the noble purpose, and if it doesn’t achieve the stated goal, well, too bad, it was a good will attempt, whereas all our opponents do is to oppress and spite their opponents, and their reasons are purely pretextual”. This is wrong and false.

I can give you more example of liberals doing pointless, spiteful policies, but I suspect you’ll just maintain that these are just good will attempts, despite the available evidence. If you cannot recognize that knowingly instituting and maintaining laws that clearly and obviously do not do anything for the expressly stated goal, but instead attack constitutional rights of the opponents, I have zero hope of achieving any sort of shared compromise and understanding.
> Now Apple just moved the search to the OS via an API call to its server, and people are noticing the traffic.

I'm not sure how photo hosting services doing this for the past 2 decades is related to this when the author of the post explicitly mentions he doesn't use Apple cloud services or products that would trigger such behaviour. This was the OS analysing someone's images, stored locally on their personal computer, and calling back to an API for no discernible reason.
i had a reply typed up about how the contents of a car shouldn't necessarily go to the police, and it would make sense that all the stuff found in a recovered car is assumed to be the posessions of the owner.

but then i re-read the article and see "and then they grab a few of the thief’s personal items from the car as evidence.". so it's not like the cops were following some policy that all the stuff in the car should be returned to the car's owner. just the stuff they don't want to deal with

That's a big one. I think humor can often be a tool to share pain and relief. A group with a stronger connection can stomach and seek out more chaotic and darker humor as well as deeper sarcasm, because there is a common understanding, comfort, trust and shared pain.
While I appreciated some of the thoughts in the essay, this is the one that jumped out at me as problematic as well.

I thought long and hard about this, and my biggest frustration is when people around me refuse to change their minds despite all evidence. This goes hand-in-hand with people who refuse to engage in a good-faith debate.

While I am certainly not perfect and need to keep improving, I've worked hard to cultivate these qualities in myself, and I think that hard work is partially why I am frustrated when I encounter the opposite in others.

For sake of argument, I'll assume the author is right, and one's frustrations are also one's own weaknesses. The author's test does not account for the people who have learned the most by recognizing these negative qualities in themselves and working to change them.
