I was in a similar situation, and have a life-long history of panic attacks. I would have them during stand-ups, which was absolute hell. I went on to face this, becoming a public speaker (technically speaking) and also a professional skydiver and occasional BASE jumper.

Things that help me in general are cardio, weightlifting, mindfulness exercises and meditation. Knowing I can walk away from a situation and be ok financially is huge.

Things that helped me specifically with daily stand-ups:

1. Preparing questions. Asking a probing question puts the pressure on the person that you feel is evaluating you. If you have a blocker, begin with asking the other engineer if they have completed that dependency. Always have a question in the chamber. Be careful not to throw others under the bus, especially if they are anxious or junior. The best questions are directed at the higher ups. After a year I learned that the executives were nervous about my questions and joked about my reputation as a "hard-hitter". That really helped me to feel more in control. Never put the company in a bad light with your phrasing.

2. Volunteer. Being third in line is panic inducing. Combat this by jumping the gun. I was often shocked to hear myself say "I'll go first" or "I'll start". My heart rate would jump a little but my brain didn't even have time to sort out my self-trickery before. The relief you feel after doing this is incredible. Also, there's something inherently calming about deciding to speak, rather than being expected to.

3. Conversational style. Providing an update can be terrifying. Having a casual conversation is [hopefully] not. Make it a back-and-forth. Not all of your questions need to be interrogations, simply passing the buck with a softball like "Can you clarify..." or "I'm thinking of doing this, what's your opinion?" make all the difference.
Personally, I like the theory that he's planning to discharge all of the debts he's run up in one fell swoop with a bankruptcy filing.

It will be sad, but not unexpected if the courts let him get away with it. I wish I could buy a house with a mortgage in the house's name, make the house declare bankruptcy, and then keep ownership of it.

Replace "house" with "Twitter", and that's the gambit. Although, the amount of debt that he'll be discharging would be about enough to buy a house for every chronically homeless person in the US.
The Mint maintainers have Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), which is based on Debian and pretty similar in functionality to the Ubuntu version though you do miss some nice features (for example I don't believe the driver manager is present in this version). They seem to be hedging their bets for if they ever need to jump ship away from Ubuntu.
Note that the license for a server costs 500$/year, whatever the number of CPUs (!)
while the same license for an instance in Amazon/aws will be cheaper (and the price vary with instance's size).

Anyhow: as somebody already wrote, this will have AWS users move to AWS linux
Convincing people not to support privacy eroding laws isn't a logic fight as you are imagining it. Advocacy is much more complicated than that.
Non-Safari browsers can't use third-party content blockers. It's a shitshow on iOS.
We all have responsibilities as technologists to be ethical (to our own standards, at least), and to keep in mind the impact of the things we build. That applies regardless of whether other tech with a negative social impact exists, or for that matter whether it will exist. You can still be a good person, even if no one else is doing so, and you're under no pressure to be a bad person (in this context, anyway).
Warning: People not prepared to read about harm coming to children should probably scroll past this one.

I'm still haunted from the first time I read about this.
Yes, they helped us find the "lawyer" and told us based on their experience that it was very likely he would spend time in a Chinese prison regardless of guilt or innocence. He got lucky in one sense because this was right before Covid hit. When everything started going a little crazy over there because Covid was spreading, they decided to let him leave for whatever reason.

Ah yes, forgotten artifacts of an innocent past.
> Like how do you provide better emergency care to everyone without figuring out how to make the provision cheaper?

> The only answer to that question is that you spend more money.

You assume that the only costs are from the actual care provided. Eliminating all the middlemen and complications of billing, insurance coverage, etc, should already shave off plenty.

One time, I needed emergency care in a Nordic country. I had strong acid in my eye. I stayed for just under two hours, but didn't need much more than saline solution, regular pH tests and a nurse that wondered in & out. When the eye's pH stabilized, they let me go. They never asked for my ID, and I didn't pay anything beyond taxes. The cost of that visit to the department was a bag or two of saline solution, some pH measurement strips, tape, gauze for drying things, some labor, and a bed that was occupied for two hours. Now imagine the "billed cost" and overhead labor in the US system.

The fact that this is an unpopular option may be why so many people are stuck in their anxiety loops.

> Pretending something doesn't happen sounds a lot like ignoring it completely to me.

Quite the opposite. Assuming it doesn't happen (not "pretending"), is very much not ignoring the situation, at least if you then act on that assumption that it does not happen.

Ignoring it just lets it happen when it does, so if the program specifies an out-of-bounds access, the compiler generates code for an out-of-bounds access, ignoring the fact that it is an out of bounds access.
I'm sorry about the effect it's had on your family, these are hard things to bear.

Ask HN: Do declining/ed prog langs have more unreasonableness and rudeness?
I won't say which ecosystem, but they dismiss contributions and "other" people not in their routine clique. And if you refuse to bend over to their unprofessionalism, "You're a bad person. If you continue, I will become more self-righteous and ban you. There, I banned you." agro abruptly without saying anything. Doesn't exactly encourage participation.

Is this common amongst languages no one uses or languages that are past their prime?
I can’t readily find when these became a thing but search for ‘pantry transmitter’ - I’m fairly sure that, whether for kids to muck around with, or to play the sound of your own vinyl records on another radio in your own home, these kinds of micro transmitters have been in use for decades.
My take circa 2000 was the the Democrats and the Republicans had rather converged in their pursuit of "swing voters". I remember editing together a tape from a debate where Bush and Gore tried to outdo each other in bellicosity (support for the military) and then Gore says "IF IT'S A FAILING SCHOOL SHUT IT DOWN!" and I covered the jump cut with a smart bomb hitting a bunker in Iraq.

I think people perceived Reagan was successful at solving the problems of the 1970s and I think Clinton basically picked up most of Reagan's approach to governing the same way that Tony Blair followed in the steps of Margaret Thatcher in the UK. The polarization was different back then. I remember George HW Bush getting on TV when Rodney King was beat by the LAPD and saying that he'd watched it on TV with his wife and he was shocked, whereas you'd expect Republicans today to say something like "it served him right". For that matter his son signed into law the expansion of Medicare benefits to include prescription drugs which was a huge new social program.

It seemed in the Bush years the public was still not getting a clear choice on many issues, one of the things that alienated people from "the establishment" is how voices opposed to the 2nd Iraq War were excluded from respectable opinion. I would tell anyone who listened that the war would likely turn out the way that it did but nobody in power listened, despite very large protests against the war. With Kerry in 2004 the Democrats did not clearly distinguish themselves from Bush and his policies as Kerry had this strange ambiguous position between being a war hero and an anti-war organizer who would not come to a clear position on Iraq.

I think though the next trend started w/ Newt Gingrich in the 1990s who tried to block Clinton at every turn (who maybe helped Clinton paradoxically because he could pursue a basically conservative agenda but have groups like the National Organization of Women support him in his philandering and have environmental groups not complain about him doing nothing because he was under attack from the other side)

That kind of negative politics went into high gear in the Obama years and today it seems there is little sign of the swing voter. You certainly couldn't say that Donald Trump didn't clearly distinguish himself from Biden, which was not so clear in the 1992-2004 time frame.

That's interesting. I can understand being reasonably anti-Israel, but i'm suspicious that many people take the leap from being anti-Israel to being anti-Jew. Especially when you consider how many people of both the Jewish faith and/or ethnicity live within the United States. Tbh it feels like a straw man, but we're speculating anyway, so i can't fault you for it.

I appreciate the discussion nonetheless. I'll definitely be curious to talk to people i know (when politics comes up) to see their thoughts on Jews and Islam (as a different commenter pointed out). I suspect that no one i know will be anti-Jew or radically pro-Islam.

Appreciate the points of discussion/anecdotes. I can't say i agree with them, but they were certainly a surprise. Far from what i expected.
Not many democracies then...
You need to search more youtube... there is value deep inside
Rush Limbaugh once said that the whole point of his show was to "make the listener feel good." And doing so was the real reason for its success. He elaborated, saying his show wasn't meant to challenge the listener, but rather to support what the listener is already feeling. As much as I disagreed with him on just about everything, I gotta respect the honesty. And I think it describes where we are are with the news in America.
In the US, only if your corporation is a "C" corporation. For an "S" corporation, the income, distributed or undistributed, is treated as income on the individual tax returns of the owners. So if you and a partner own an S corporation, and you make $800k in net income and pay yourselves $100,000 in salary each, you would pay yourselves salaries (SS & Medicare tax on that portion) and then income tax on the net income + salary, so you would owe about $156,000 in income tax, plus whatever your state charges, and you would owe about $8,000 in SS+Medicare (because the company has already paid the other half). Rough numbers, of course. This would asymptotically approach 37% of income as your income increases (plus state tax).
I mean around here in Denmark the alternative is that you get your energy connection terminated and have to pay big fees to get it turned on again.

By your admission it is not illegal to turn the electricity of during summer, but presumably people have to cook there too?

The solution is not to let people use electricity without payment, because that will be abused. Have the bills be paid directly for those on unemployment if you want, raise the benefits to match if you want, but a system where there is nothing that effectively stops you from not paying is going to result it bad outcomes for everyone.

We seem to manage nuclear very well, and one piece of evidence is how horrifying it is that four people died in this story, and the degree of concern it generated. Nuclear stuff is like airline safety; there's a good cultural and governmental stance around taking its risks seriously.

But more importantly, not responsible enough compared to which alternatives? In this case, it was a device for radiation therapy. The solution here can't be that lots of people die of cancer because nuclear is too dangerous. That just doesn't add up. For nuclear tech more generally, I posit that we are far less responsible with fossil fuels, and that they have done, and will continue to do, vast amounts of damage. Using nuclear would save a lot of lives. You can't just weigh the risk of some course of action against the absence of that risk; you have to weigh it against the risks of the alternatives or the risk of not solving the problem at all. No one is using this tech just for fun.

I think some of this is a psychological effect: awful things that are (or seem like) the status quo get priced into our sense of risk, while exotic-seeming tech with very-differently-shaped risks seem irresponsible. We're also bad at weighing widespread, generalized damage against the low risk of disasters, even if some simple thought experiments make it clear which is better.
One of the only times I got detention in high school was when playing CS 1.6. It wasn't for playing the game, though - our class had done something good and as a reward we were allowed to goof off and play games that period.

But, a classmate had killed me several times in a row and was having a good laugh about it. I gave him a middle finger and then got back into the game.

At the end of the class, the teacher handed me a detention slip and then explained that he had been standing behind me watching my screen when I flipped the bird.
I'm surprised is wasn't mentioned yet but towards the end of CS:Source, just before Go, Valve nerfed the aiming and added in randomization to bullets fired that couldn't be corrected for. It was done to make the game more approachable to new players as a skill equalizer.
Standups are supposed to be uncomfortable for everyone which is where they got their name: they are supposed to be 5-10 minute tops run throughs where everyone is standing to remind them to not get too comfortable or talk too long.

The problem may not be entirely you: 30 minutes each sounds like at least some some of your coworkers in those meetings are far too "comfortable" and taking too much time giving too many details that don't matter to what the standup is supposed to get across. (It's not supposed to be a list of all the work you've done, but to find places where you can cross-cut: work you did that may help someone else but neither of you realize it; problems you have that maybe someone else solved earlier.)

The other indication that there may be process breakdowns around you outside of what standup is supposed to mean is that standups were originally supposed to be only engineering (in theory). A "product standup" with directors, executives, and managers doesn't sound at all like what a standup is supposed to be, to me, it sounds like a daily micro-management checkin meeting.

You probably don't have any power to fix a broken process, but if it gives you some small comfort, it may not be entirely just you in this case. Your meetings may be asking more of you than they are supposed to be and of course that adds additional anxiety and stress.
My Internet isn't toxic and depressing because I have a walled garden. I have curated my friends list and other feeds. Anybody posting more than a small fraction of hostility (even if it's stuff I agree with) gets muted.

They post stuff I'm likely to be interested in. Some of it is groups specifically designed to list light but interesting crap. I could go out and search for such things myself, but they provide sufficient entertainment.

A lot of people want their social media to be toxic and depressing. I assume they're getting what they want. The problem is that they go out and spread that toxicity to others. I can't help what they do out in The World, but I can ensure that they don't spread it to me online.

HN is the only site where I regularly meet toxic people, and I wish it had a feature to hide them from my feed. I go only because it also regularly points me to sites I find interesting. If the former outweighs the latter, I'm gone.

Let me tell you about the Luddites. People hear "Luddites" and think "Anti-Technology, backwards mentality! Closed Minded!"

No.

The Luddites were highly trained, technical workers who had built careers around being loom operators. They worked in the factories for a decent wage, and earned the factory owners a tidy profit.

New auto-looms were invented, and the Luddites were like, "This is great! Our highly trained staff can increase our production! We'll get paid more, the factory owner will earn more, it's a win-win!"

Except the factory owners said, "LOL. No, you are all fired, we're going to hire bargain labor and hold 100% of the profit. Get bent."

So the Luddites, who wanted to use the looms and increase the well being of all were turned out. And the factory owners extracted as much from the workers as possible.

The Luddites then decided, "Fuck it, let's burn these looms." and they went around and smashed up a bunch of them.

When I see AI tools being developed, I think, "Wow, an auto-editor. An auto-script-writer. An auto-matte painter." Surely the studios will want to use these tools to raise the efficiency of their highly trained staff and split the profits with them, right? No... of course not. The writing is on the wall already -- the studios are going to fire their highly trained staff, lean on technology, and try to maximize the profit to the studio at the expense of the people who work there.

We're setting ourselves up for a neo-Luddite moment where people get angry enough to start doing industrial sabotage, imo. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems so short-sighted to just turn out all the people who wrote code, drew art, edited scripts, composed music, etc.

(Maybe it's a good time to consider collective bargaining and/or unionization, if your job is likely to go the way of a Luddite's job in the future?)
we need to return to the very high levels of immigration we had in the 19th century, it would really help our population and economy to grow. it will help the country a lot in the long term
I can do that in C/C++ where regular signed integer overflow is otherwise undefined behavior. The point is just Rust defining the behavior (no UB!) didn't do a damn thing to help anyone since if you actually want and expect overflow you need to use specific functions/wrappers to do that anyway. You also probably want the carry flag anyway so having regular addition be "defined behavior" is still useless.

Super interesting article. Is there a word for the type of software architect who pathologically excuses immediate-term problems because there is a fix a long ways away? Dr. Stroustroup's comments sound familiar if you've ever encountered the type of person who won't engage with a problem you have now, because they have a system planned for next year that makes the problem go away.
How do you define a controversial issue and even media for that matter? Does your tweet about the pizza you enjoyed last night need to include an asterisk about the children crazy people think are imprisoned in its imaginary basement? How do you define equal time? If you are trying to read about motorcycles do we need to inject enough pro/anti abortion articles to balance out the converse in your feed last night? So much of our media consumption isn't the evening news such a proposal has nearly no meaning and there is I think a larger issue.

Many even most controversies aren't complex takes on deep issues. They are to be frank malicious bullshit. Taking pills to not continue a pregnancy isn't murder. There isn't a basement let alone kids under that pizza place. The election wasn't stolen. Societies without pervasive individual guns don't have people blowing away children meaning the issues with gun control are 99% logistical/legal. We could solve them we just willing and able to trade dead children for more freedom. There is zero moral implications to allowing gay marriage or gay adoption. Evolution is real as is systemic racism.

Shall we designate a ministry of truth to decide what controversies we ought to teach or force our media to carry malicious lies?
My first thought also. If you are battling stress, you have already lost.
