I can, because they really don't seem to. They aren't a publicly traded company beholden to corporate share holders who only value profit.

> If we want a healthier society, we need to take a step back and give teenagers a chance to actually live life.

We (American here) need to take a step back and let everyone enjoy life. That means providing healthcare, food, and shelter to every single person so that they can live their life and work in a non-anxiety-inducing way. Every therapist I've talked to in the past few years has told me that they think the number one thing that would reduce their workload is if people weren't so stressed about paying for the most basic things for their family. Most of the people they see would still have issues they need to deal with, but wouldn't be on the precipice of suicide and taking loads of pills. That's an anecdote, but to me it's clear that the "hustle culture" and lack of social support have combined in the USA to make things very hard for the average American. This applies to kids directly, too, because that hustle has to start pre-college!
Why? the hardware supports it.

Hersh was once a reputable journalist. But now he is predominantly a cheerleader for authoritarian regimes that makes up "anonymous sources" to back up his claims.

As soon as he has made an assertion he cites a 'source' to back it. In every case this is either an un-named former official or an unidentified secret document passed to Hersh in unknown circumstances. […] By my count Hersh has anonymous 'sources' inside 30 foreign governments and virtually every department of the U.S. government.

You can use floating-point for money even if you're dealing with (American) billions (10 figures), and care about pennies. With 10 figures in the integer part, you have 5 more digits of precision in the fractional part, so down to the thousandths of a cent. A single addition or multiplication will not accumulate an error which affects the cent, and you can round the calculation to the best approximation of the penny in order to clip off the error.

> My theory is that just using digital devices for anything is somewhat stressful

I don’t know, talking to the government and figuring out stuff about your taxes or health coverage over the internet is soooo much less stressful than if I have to call, or worse, go there in person, wait an hour, and have to talk to someone who really doesn’t want to solve my problem.

I can now pay my property taxes online and know it’s done, instead of sending them a letter and hoping for the best, that’s such an improvement.

What is settled is Russia’s crimes in Syria and their indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Seymour lost credibility by disregarding these facts in his reporting. The U.S. is still involved there and the U.S. hardly can take the moral high ground when it comes to the Middle East but neither can Russia and Seymour acts as if they can.

If you really think these are semantically comparable^[1] to the statement under examination then we are not speaking the same language, despite appearances to the contrary, and therefore have nothing to discuss.

I get it: hating on AI is very trendy today and it feels good to publicly agree with a righteous cause. I'm generally not a fan of this technology myself---most of these models incorporate stolen work of mine in their training sets, unattributed and uncompensated, and I think they are likely to be a disaster for the human species. I have not implemented any of them in my creative workflows or other aspects of my life, and I don't plan to.

However, I think it is important to see one's enemy clearly, and the vast majority of people participating in the anti-AI discourse are abjectly failing to do so as in this case. This can only hurt their cause, and by extension mine.

^[1] Exoplanets is a category of unique non-fungible objects which can be meaningfully discovered and measured on an individual basis. Hash tables are an abstract concept, as is hosting a web page (and creating a web page to host it fundamentally precludes discovering it, except in the sense of discovery within the creative process). Gravity, similarly, is a single 'thing' that, once discovered, cannot be discovered again.

One might easily and correctly say, however, that X person was the first to measure the force of gravity to a certain precision, or that Y person was the first to develop a particular implementation of the hash table concept, e.g. cuckoo hashing. These achievements are meaningfully distinct from the discovery of the broader concepts they extend. Discovery of a particular exoplanet is similar; however, it may surprise you to learn that the English language treats different kinds of 'things' differently, and in this case those varied, underspecified conventions of language have produced an ambiguity.

Ask HN: Small/medium sized C++ (& Rust) programs that are designed well?
Hello all,

Curious if anyone has any good examples of well designed systems projects. I am looking mainly for C++ but Rust projects would be good as well.

Often when I ask this type of question, people show repos that are very large and it takes a lot of effort to figure out what is going on before then needing to understand the design. I was hoping people could point to some smaller projects, even just personal ones.

Thanks!

> we are seeing things like declines in lifespans and increases in suicide, but I don't think mental illness is increasingly nearly as much as the stats would lead you to believe at face value.

This just seems like a flat out contradiction. How would suicides ‘skyrocket’ if mental illness is not increasing.

Agreed that 2012 may be irrelevant and we may not know the cause.
Just so I'm clear, is your argument that these statements should be censored?

Lots of these seem reprehensible, but totally within a reasonable space of legitimate free speech. Barring the cases with calls for imminent harm (e.g. turbulent priests and such), it seems that there's a big risk in trying to draw a legal line here.

In your polling station example, for instance, that has some clear negative impact. If I instead said "The library will be closed for the next month", is that protected though? What if I say "Arby's will be giving out free sandwiches from noon to two o'clock tomorrow"? All of these statements have negative impact.

The rationale for more extensive free speech is that it is expected that individuals have the right to hear what others are saying, and evaluating how bogus those are.

To be clear, some censorship is absolutely accepted in society today (e.g. libel laws, imminent threats, marketplace standards, etc), but the fear of an ill-defined line that can be shifted to suit political winds seems like a very reasonable one.

We’ve used Meilisearch in production and it is the closest thing to self hosted Algolia you can get, which in itself is pretty amazing.

Unfortunately the performance of indexing (constantly changing records) wasn’t great and Meilisearch would fall behind on indexing records for hours.

Meilisearch has been amazingly great for projects where records don’t change all that much (eg docs, or even a customer database), but if you have for example a fast paced ecommerce system with 50k records constantly changing (eg product inventory), it falls over pretty quick. We had to transition over to Elastic for this aspect of our app.

The other issue we faced is their Rails gems falling out of step with the server, and when fixes came out, the Rails gem was incompatible for a while.

I really really hope 1.0 increases performance to the point where it becomes production ready, because the initial out of the box performance (before getting bogged down with indexing) was pretty amazing. Better than Elastic and on par with Algolia.

I recommend keeping Meilisearch on your radar. It is going to be great.

I wish the best for the Meili team and hope they succeed!
Does it rebase the PR to keep a linear history?
>I think most teenagers are simply stressed from the constant work that's necessary for the college admissions process.

I am 100% behind this, and a lot of my professional career has been spent in higher education, specifically working with college access programs for pre-college students.

The amount of pressure kids are under today is just astounding. When I was looking at colleges, the pressure started slightly in 10th or 11th grade. Now, it's in the grade schools. Colleges are trying to get into 6th grade classes to "offer services" (read: recruit those kids under the pretense of supplementing underfunded school classrooms).

This may come off as a "things were better in my day" but hear me out:

I played baseball starting in kindergarten. There were summer YMCA leagues, and a couple of kids played baseball on travel teams in junior high and high school. The really good ones got scouted in college, but 99% of us were in it because we liked the game and liked playing. No matter what our parents may have dreamed, we knew it was a fun way to be part of something we liked.

My oldest plays baseball, he started in kindergarten, and has played all the way to high school now. He loves the game, but we also made sure it was a game, not a job. All kids in his class who could afford it were on travel teams, starting in first grade. All but three have private coaches for whatever position they specialize in. . . starting in first grade. The parents sponsored tournaments. The parents made sure their travel team attended tournaments that college scouts or colleges sponsored. Starting in first grade. The kids on his school team (town population of around 1000, school k-12 enrollment is around 400) have literally played or practiced baseball every weekend, barring some holiday weekends, since they were 5 years old. That is not an exaggeration, it is a statement of fact.

I actually got cornered by other parents asking why out child (left handed) wasn't going to be on the travel team when they were little, because he'd be a great pitcher. In first grade. They were absolutely astounded that I said I just couldn't get behind putting that much pressure on a child.

I don't think that people over the age of about 32 understand just how unbelievable the pressure is on kids these days. They're expected to be ON all the time, and their future is at risk if they're not. Parents see it as just trying to set their kids up for the best future possible. But it's so much pressure.

It's astounding. I live in a poor, rural area. I have to imagine it's much worse in urban/affluent areas.

And that's not even touching on the fact that social media and technology means the students literally cannot get away from social issues and bullying. That's a whole other thing.
Not in reality, although perhaps in the public imagination. These models are totally dependent on the patterns they find in their input data.
I got the dock also and am running two 1440p@144hz monitors with the deck. Shutdown the PC .. do the same thing but using at least 2-300w less. In today's context it's a huge difference.

No, an account that pretends to care about those things when using them as an excuse to shut down communication that makes the government look bad.
For all intents and purposes, it is global. Facebook claims multiple billions of users and I myself am from a pretty isolated area and can say that social media definitley has a big presence here.
This employee and another… lackadaisical employee were both full time. Full time guaranteed more hours, sick pay, accrued paid vacation time, actual healthcare, etc.

Pretty cozy benefits for retail work which is thanks to the union.

At the same time multiple part time workers, such as myself, would pick up slack or work OT due to these unmotivated workers. It definitely lead to a weird culture.

> 40% of high school students don't go to college (of any type).

So clearly things have been changing in recent decades. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as a factor.
No? My comment describes the exact opposite to AWS. The primary billing complaint people have with AWS is that there is no way to stop billing when you hit a predefined limit. Meanwhile, AWS devex looks awful from the outside, but if you have to deal with AWS they are very well organised.
From the description, it is just ElasticSearch re-built on top of a Kafka topic. Its not clear what benefit it would brings to open source it.
I've found the opposite usually happens in my experience. It is easy to give into the temptation to then blame all problems on the condition, and start to abscond responsibility for your behavior. This leads to increasing feelings of helplessness, and not taking any actions that could help.

This ultimately results in you feeling miserable powerless and see no hope.

I think that the framing around this is very important. I had a teacher that constantly used the phrase "Don't let your reasons become excuses." Knowing there is an issue can bring relief and be helpful only if it empowers one to act.

An example I have seen in my life is two people that have anxiety, one started using it as a reason to avoid interacting with people, to avoid school, and to basically hide in her room and read books all the time, to the point they would have a breakdown when forced to talk to a grocery store clerk, her sibling had a similar struggle but forced themselves through it, to learn how to interact, to push themselves to be in difficult and uncomfortable situations, and eventually although still struggles with social anxiety presents a pretty passable facade of being able to function in society.
It's not a contradiction, I'm saying that an underlying increase in mental illness plausibly explains some of the effect, but I'm unconvinced it explains the entire effect.
Thanks a lot! Now it's perfectly visible!
Biochar turns out to be more effective in bacteria dominant soils than in fungal, where the fungi provide some of the same services.

Tropical forests are bacterial, temperate fungal. I don’t think it’s an accident that terra preta (a biochar + ? complex of soil) is found in Brazil.

It’s also a reason we have to be careful about global warming. Temperate forests make great carbon sinks, tropical do not. If we tip more land into tropical we lose a powerful method of remediation.
Ask HN: How to admit yourself that you cannot learn everything?
Hi there.

I am 24 y.o, living expat life in EU and working for a big corporate bank as SWE.I have enough salary which I can afford the expenses of myself and my family back in home country as well. I did bachelor in my home country, learned english and got master's scholarship so chased my dream of studying abroad. Meanwhile got a job after moving and quite happy with my life.

However, whenever I stumbled upon a problem or an issue on a random work task inner myself starts to torture me and saying "you are a shit, that dude over there could do it in a sec or so". That imposter syndrome forces me to study and study during weekends and evenings no matter how tired I am. Sometimes I think "dude, take it easy. You are just 24, you have many years ahead to learn and get better in this field". But yeah, not always successful I assume.

Any recommendations or thoughts highly welcomed :) Take care.
I have another hunch: that working as a programmer, and maybe with computers in general, is anxiety-inducing. As Campbell put it, computers are like old testament gods: lots of rules and no mercy.

Big companies are now so large that they can influence policy and politicians in a way that it is impossible for the individual to fight back.

Fucking Union!
> The difficulty with telemetry is that even if we design the perfect, privacy-preserving system

The other difficult is what you mentioned: trust. Even if a piece of software really does telemetry in a perfect, privacy-preserving way -- as a user, I have to take the developer's word for that in the end. That's a hard hurdle to pass, because that trust has been violated so much in the past that nobody gets the benefit of the doubt anymore.

> Unfortunately, even though this problem has software as its medium, it is a problem that cannot be solved by clever software alone

I agree entirely. At the heart of it, this is not a technological problem. It's a human one.
While I don't trust Adobe to make secure software, the existing PDF viewer in Chrome/Edge is PDFium [1] which was licensed from Foxit [2] and is C++ and has had its share of exploits.

There is PDF.js [3] used in Firefox but it has performance and printing issues due to it being purely done in javascript.

Ideally the whole browser including the HTML and PDF rendered would be done in a memory safe language, but that will be awhile I suspect.

I certainly don't want to go back to the activeX days and having to install a plugin to view PDF's.

Don't really see the need for this change as its going back to a close source renderer and PDFium seemed to work well with all PDF's thrown at it unlike PDF.js

I would strongly agree there is room for improvement with regards to the disparity you mentioned (accountability, benefits, workload equity), but also that without a union, you get the current socioeconomic situation: a total lack of labor power where you are at the mercy of a corporation’s whims, which is no way to go through life. Work should not be constant grueling or suffering. Maybe it should be more cozy.

High level, there’s room to improve where workers have a decent work experience and investors still see some benefit (even if it’s less than they would like to maximize for). These are not binary decisions.

> If you look at all the players, their interests, and their capabilities, I think the most logical conclusion is that the US likely did it.

How so? The pipeline(s) was/were already off, so the US and Norway already had a new customer because of this. If the US risked blowing up the pipeline(s) (which was already not delivering,) it would put NATO in jeopardy which is explicitly against US interests and WAY more valuable than natural gas. The entire theory doesn't even make sense from the standpoint of US needs/wants.
