Anything that injects DLLs and hooks into lib functions will have this effect on unstable software that was not written with a comprehensive understanding of how the majority of Windows programs operate. It's not Discord's fault that they are using the APIs provided to them by Microsoft fairly, legally, cleanly and non-intrusively and not everyone supports them.

Maybe it's the assumption that legitimate/good-will programs do not interact that causes this issue. It's ridiculous, and untrue. I don't really use Discord and I have a strong distaste for the kinds of social circles that it breeds, but it is a technically excellent product.

If someone wants to see an example of a triple-A game product that is built with this kind-of misunderstanding of the NT kernel and Windows operating system (and shell, and their own compiler toolchain... Oh my...), here lies a funny video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8xtw54-lCI

> I didn't interpret you as saying that the F-35B should be cancelled. I'm more bringing context that it's not solely a US Marines toy, and not solely a baby-carrier plane.

Fair enough.

As for the size of a carrier needed for F-35, the Royal Navy was apparently operating the Phantom from ~30kt carriers. They did some tests with a smaller ~25kt carrier and found that it worked in principle but required lowered fuel load etc. I had assumed the Phantom to be a really massive plane, but it turns out the max weight is around 30t, similar to a F-35, so the comparison is actually pretty close. (I would guess it would in principle be possible with a smaller ship if you'd do a WWII style straight deck and utilize the entire deck for launching and landing, though I guess that would limit operations rate too much so nobody wants to do that?)

For cost, I think I saw somewhere some estimates that the RN had calculated that equipping the Queen Elizabeths with catobar would have added IIRC ~$200M per boat. However one also needs to take into account the cost difference between the F-35 B and C variants. Searching around I found a figures from 2019 that said a B variant then went for $115.5M and a C for $107.7M (for comparison, the A model at $89M but I found newer figures from 2022 saying $80M). But if, hypothetically, the B model wouldn't exist production numbers for the C model would be higher and thus lower per unit costs. Lemme just spitball it and say $100M in 2019 for a C model in the hypothetical world without the B model. Per wikipedia the complement of a Queen Elizabeth is 36 F-35's. So (115.5-100)x36 = $558M, which is more than twice the cost of the catobar installation. Even if we assume no cost difference for the C model due to the disappearance of the B model, it's still (115.5-107.7)x36=$281M, still much higher than the price of the catobar installation. Not to mention that over the service life of the carrier probably many generations of planes would be used (or newer versions of F-35's, considering F-35 is expected to be a very long-lived platform).

I guess the crux of the argument is really what about those navies that want to operate baby carriers. If we assume a ~40kt Charles de Gaulle is about the minimum you wanna have for a 'proper' catobar carrier (maybe ~30kt if you really stretch it?), that leaves out all those 25kt helicopter carriers and whatnot.

I've never worked at a company that had a head of mental health and wellbeing. Is this a common position?
The type of "career scientist" that the article portrays is part of the problem. In order to get ahead with a science career, one needs to pursue an extremely narrow specialisation. Otherwise it is impossible to build a stellar reputation. And reputation is the key determinant for being offered a permanent position at a high-ranking institution.

However, many interesting and relevant problems live at the interface of several disciplines. Unfortunately, those working between disciplines will have a hard time getting a permanent job at top universities: Whatever faculty they apply to, there will always be other applicants who are super-specialised and therefore appeal more to the super-specialised faculty members in the hiring committee. That is why true interdisciplinary research still doesn't happen very much, even though it has been praised and encouraged for more than two decades now.

Coming back to the article, in my opinion the solution to overwork is to cut back on elitism. Less famous universities tend to be more relaxed in their recruitment and tenure criteria. Less pressure means more mental flexibility, which can help maintain a wider network of researchers across disciplines. And the wider the network is, the better the chances of being invited to collaborative projects, especially when one has a record of successful interdisciplinary collaboration.

The price to pay is that one will not be able to impress with the name of one's university when doing small talk. But one will be a much more interesting conversation partner — and have free time to meet people outside work with whom to talk.
In multiple directions, too. It's easier to build the CI system itself if you are only targeting one class of servers/one means of hosting servers/one specific "cloud".
> One has to carefully choose and pick the modules...

...And you lost me right there. I am looking for a good experience out of the box. Emacs is not it. I don't want to pick anything, even less so doing it carefully.

I only stuck with Emacs because my life has been hell for a long time and I couldn't muster the energy, time and motivation to look for an alternative. The moment I actually had some of these I immediately jumped ship. (And yeah 20 years is a long time, just be grateful your life doesn't have such a big hole in it.)

> You're salty, perhaps because you couldn't spare enough patience and willpower to learn some Emacs Lisp

I don't want to. I am salty because I had no clue what I was getting involved with.

> You've failed to cultivate some curiosity for basic things like, "what exactly happens when I press a key", open a file, etc.

That's not basic curiosity, that's a chore. If I wanted to do kernel development I would, but I don't. I am a user of these things. I will sooner die than go and be "curious" about them.

I want to get work done.

> You just gave up. No, don't get me wrong.

But I said as much myself, didn't I? Though I'll maintain and still claim that it did waste my time, insofar as not making itself COMPLETELY AND PAINFULLY OBVIOUS. I don't care which "function's definition is void", dude. I care about "can't initialize TreeSitter for Golang, we seem to be missing module X which actually should come pre-installed with your Emacs 29 so WTF man, go ask these doofuses maintaining the Mac Homebrew -- the hell are they doing?!", or some such.

You try not getting me wrong either. I am not a script kiddie. I am a guy who absolutely LOVES programming and is doing it for 30 years but is now sick and tired of constantly having to pamper his tools.

I think it's a fair requirement in 2023 to want to run a few commands, make a bash script that updates the editor + its internally used stuff (packages in Emacs, plugins in VIM) and have a basic guarantee their dev setup won't break after an update.

But alas, no.

And to make it completely fair to all sides -- LunarVim (it is basically an opinionated set of plugins on top of vanilla NeoVim, akin to DOOM for Emacs) suffers the same problems. I figured I'll only update once a month now because the maintainers, like the over-excited kids that they seem to be, figure will break everyone's setup every week because they found this awesome new VIM plugin and the previous one is not "elegant" or whatever, bro.

I really see no way out. Nobody gives a crap about good developer experience, you're expected to be on the treadmill of always pimping your tools until your death apparently.

Almost nobody sees technology as a beast to be tamed and made to do work we don't want to do ourselves; they see it as a dog to play with.

Honestly, I think you're making the mistake of confusing your subjective view with "objectivity." Like saying your opinions and preferences are "objectively" the right ones.

Also, you appear to be describing your side in the most charitable way you can, those you oppose in the least charitable way, and unsurprisingly finding those you oppose wanting.

Who were his victims? Were there people forced to buy from the silk road? I'm not even going to address the conspiracy for murder which was literally offered by the government and/or informants and shoe-horned in by playing fuck fuck games about what was the overt act under a conspiracy conviction that never required the murder piece for the conviction. The jury never signaled that the overt act they counted for the conspiracy was the murder allegations, nor was he convicted of anything involving murder.

Honestly it's pretty hilarious to note the government was like "look, it's violent because the government arrived and offered violence." Hopefully they locked away the officials and the informants/undercovers offering this violence as well, if indeed it is to be treated as genuine violence.
Great that they made it into the Apple store.

yawn, sigh (whatever other passive-aggressive bodily functions you can imagine).

99% percent of all species that ever existed have gone extinct. The biosphere is not some pathetic weak, non resilient, piece of glass that you think it is. We can easily lose a lot more species and the biosphere would be just fine.

> We have exterminated a species.

We are not some outside influence/cancer on the planet. We ARE nature, and nature is survival of the fittest, we are fit, dodos are not.

I didn’t get the impression that they were claiming to be a model or anything — nearly anyone be “above average” attractiveness given some continuous effort. I’m assuming that they meant it more from that perspective. Then they learned that corporatizing their efforts helped their career too.
It wasn't even a 707, it was a prototype model 367-80.

There were some unusually significant structural differences between the prototype dash 80 and production 707's, for example:

> The 132 in (3,400 mm) wide fuselage of the Dash 80 was large enough for four-abreast (two-plus-two) seating like the Stratocruiser. Answering customers' demands and under Douglas competition, Boeing soon realized this would not provide a viable payload, so it widened the fuselage to 144 in (3,660 mm) to allow five-abreast seating and use of the KC-135's tooling.

// The US does this in every instance where passion is involved

I don't think there's a conspiracy. High performers in "passion" fields are sought after and make bank (Tom Cruise vs starving actor, eg)

The problem is the oversupply of middling talent. If I needed a random average actor for something, there are thousands of them fighting for the job, so it doesn't pay much. If I need Tom Cruise I am going to pay a lot.

The passion lense is useless. Doctors are passionate. Engineers are passionate.

The difference is the bar to entry. Getting into and graduating med school is very hard. Very few people, relatively, have an MD so they are in demand. And failure is clean - if you didn't make it to medschool, you go do something else. You don't spend the rest of your life as an "aspiring physician"

There's no such filter for acting etc so lots of people flood the field, don't get a natural weed-out and thus spend the rest of their life competing with each other for mediocre opportunities. And we just don't have a shortage of actors.

The US system is provides a practical signal. If you aren't making it on your "passion field", at some point the money signals that you can contribute better to society elsewhere.
This sounds great and very much needed! If you need a contributor, I’m interested (currently looking for a good project to get into).

Ask HN: PayPal not allowing friends/family payments?
It used to be easy to send money via PayPal and mark it as "friends/family" instead of "payment for services". The latter comes with purchase protections, and PayPal takes a cut. But now it seems that when people send money to my startup, even as a donation (we make tools that help students with dyslexia read more easily, so some people just want to help us out), PayPal takes a fee every time.

Is this PayPal's new normal? If so, what other platforms to folks recommend for one-off donation type payments?
I think the mistake is to assume that Python's type hints form a complete static typing system. Of course they fall short if you think that's what they're supposed to be. I think of it instead as a sometimes-useful subset of checks that you might get from a static typing system, and I use it in those places in my projects where I think it will be the most useful. The very fact that I can think of it as an option I can enable puts it in a totally different space from traditional static typing systems.
Personally, Canada.

I could afford it, but I don't know if it will be worth the value it brings. My salary isn't U.S.-level high, and I almost never get responses that are incredibly insightful. I do an average of 1 or 2 queries a day maybe.
To quote from the article that I linked, "Judging from the fossil record, the baseline extinction rate is about one species per every one million species per year."

And THAT we can calculate from finding species in the fossil record, and seeing how long we go from the species appearing to disappearing. On average this is about a million years, and it fits on an exponential curve. (Some species are around several million years, others just a few hundred thousand. It averages out.) Which is consistent with a given species randomly having about a one in a million chance of going extinct in any given year. Which then becomes an estimate of the usual extinction rate.

Like all attempts to analyze historical data, there are a number of potential flaws in the chain of reasoning. But this train of logic certainly is not anti-nature or laughably ignorant of scientific reason.

You're pretty close.

Eventually grandpa will be in the box. Our life's biodata will stream into the cloud as it happens through ancillary means (phones, watches, biometric sensors in retail stores), and the moment we die, our animatronic proxy will be ordered and arrive after an appropriate grieving period. You don't really have to live forever if your robot understudy can continue your legacy.

Imagine the recurring money flow in the industry of immortality by proxy. You don't want your late mum rolling around in last year's bucket of circuits do you? Of course not. Why don't we get your pre-order payments started on your own model so you can lock in a low rate?

This is the problem with any post about Apple. There is so much nonsense posted in that thread driven by the emotion that Apple generates among some people. I don't know if there is a solution to this. Wish there was a way to filter based on if the person is a known Apple "hater" or "fanboy".
There is a group they label "control", but they simply get fed flicker at frequencies they predict to be non-optimal.

They did measure differences, so the experiment does have power (unlike an experiment with no control group at all). It's a valid experiment, on its own terms. But without a 0-flicker control group we can't absolutely say whether it improves learning over the 0-flicker baseline we all experience in daily life, only that some flicker frequencies/phases are better than others (and by a wide margin). This is still an interesting result! There may be other results I'm not aware of that argue against my discombobulation theory. I'm sure the experimenters have a deeper grasp of the field than I do.
