> if the seniors have the decency to research how to better handle the thing.

Seniors typically are already overloaded with keeping the product running and backfilling for the departed colleagues (who are being replaced by the new employees). So using words like "decency" is sure to piss them off even more.

Ask HN: AWS CloudShell Equivalent?
My engineering team has created a suite of CLI tools that can create users, interact with APIs, modify data, etc. It’s basically a CLI interface on top of our business logic.

It became so useful for testing purposes that I started using it for day-to-day operations. When ops makes a request, I SSH into our production environment (running in a secure EC2 instance) and run the CLI.

We use Retool for internal tools, but it’s become way faster to iterate on this terminal than to iterate on a UI, write the APIs, and maintain both the Retool and terminal app.

I’d like to expose this terminal application behind our private company VPN to specific team members in a controlled way. Really what I want is AWS CloudShell, and I want it to only run that specific script.

Is there a way to do this using open source tools?
This post on the front page was SO timely for us! My son (16) was feeling very sleepy and tired the past week. On Friday he took a brief nap at 5pm, but woke up next morning, after 15 hours.

This morning when I went to wake him up at 6am he just couldn’t make it so I let him stay at home. This never happened before.
Work daily on a Mac and use a mouse and trackpad simultaneously, I find the trackpad the quickest for navigation but need the precision of a mouse. Wonder how a setup similar to this would go instead of the trackpad.
Wow, I was hoping it was going to tell us some secret IP around chaptgpt.
They are language models, it's what they do best. They "understand" (give more weight) to the correct relations between words (tokens) and try to predict the next token based on previous tokens. So when you feed it with instructions, for the next tokens the model will give more weight to the tokens related with those instructions.

On the other hand, they can't handle actual logic, reasoning, etc.
> But I struggle with tapping my foot and strumming in time to a metronome

Why would you both tap your foot and use a metronome at the same time while playing a piece? I play piano, not a guitar, but foot tapping is usually for when you don't have a metronome.

Sure, tapping and using a metronome at the same time is good, if you are trying to get your foot tapping to be more consistent. But actually practicing a music piece and using a metronome+tapping your foot feels weird, I cannot do it well either. For me, it is either tapping foot or using a metronome.
Nicky Rod is also a big exception. D1 wrestlers are a small % of all wrestlers. Most wrestlers I encounter are like good white belts, but they have a ton of bad habits like you mentioned. Wrestlers do alright in BJJ though, for sure. They have a good sense of bodies and weight, though I have seen it hinder some wrestlers who stay in their comfort zone and never branch out, eventually losing out to folks who focus more on BJJ technique.
Due to the nature of being a frontend-for-everything I think it's best to keep the stdlib's platform-specific functionality minimal.
It'd be fun to have a digital twin of metro Atlanta that allows me to customize and visualize what it'd look like if I ripped out all the roads and replaced them with grass-tracked trolleys and bike trails. Maybe extend The Plane Train from the airport to my house.
The screenshots look really poorly compressed and noisy, not great for comparing fonts.
Even civilization as a whole has not been around nearly long enough for our species to be very well adapted to it. The species we cite as well adapted for civilized life were really adapted for other traits that just happenstance were relevant in an urban environment; like a pigeon's propensity to nest in a building ledge coming from its propensity to nest on a rocky cliff, or how if you kill off all bad for human predators like wolves, you'd be left with urban coyotes to fill the niche and this doesn't mean anything really about the coyote vs the wolf's ability to survive in the city (independent of humans killing them of course).

Of course we are all suffering from mental illness and poor physical health and this that and the other thing all the time. All we do is stress out about what others think about ourselves and sit around lethargic. We didn't spend millions of years of mutation and selection to be the most optimal couch potato. We spent it to be a master forager of the environment, setting out on foot by morning for resources when the weather and light is good, and spending the day and evening in engineering or creative pursuits. I'm convinced even language had a role to play in changing our behavior dramatically in this way, since often what we do in life is limited to what we are able to communicate with words or thoughts in our language with its finite set of descriptors.

I joined Twitter in 2009 to make use of the ability to share some info automatically, aka a good "bot".

I will have little use for Twitter if/when this free API is canned. (And no, no one pays me for the info.)

I have moved my attention to Mastodon...

Given how fragile and ugly connecting to Twitter was (cf dead simple for Mastodon) and how capricious Musk is, a new different API, even if free, seems not worth investing time in.

I think it would be more accurate to link to something as a better source than blind. All I can find about this is a gizmodo article, which does not provide any source other than this statement from Google: "A Google spokesperson said in a statement to Gizmodo that the payments given to laid-off employees were “100% accurate” and has corrected the stock calculation. Meanwhile, former employees expressed confusion to Business Insider, and one source said, “They did not outline it well in the first emails to us all so tons of people were confused.”

The Google spokesperson said, “We have followed up and corrected the calculation—and this doesn’t change the fact that all departing employees will still be eligible to receive salary and stock units for both the notice period and the severance payment, as well as their 2022 bonus, unused vacation, six months of healthcare and additional support.”"

It does not sound like they are lowering it as much as confusing wording? I would want to see the OG email and the correction email, but I can't find anyone actually sharing out what their email to laid off employees actually was.

If this is actually a walk back on severance rather than clarification then they should honor the original statement.
I think in the context of your question, you're turning "thriving" from an attempt at objective measurement to an entirely subjective metric. Feel free to correct me if that isn't the case, but if it becomes subjective to thrive, I don't know that there is a right or wrong answer to "in which era are people thriving the most?"
As a teenager I was diagnosed with "ADD". Very intelligent, but unable to focus or complete assignments.

My life habits were carb heavy unhealthy food (from the cafeteria), soda, lack of sleep due to long school commute, not much exercise

As an adult, I eat no carbs, all meat and vegetables, I work from home and sleep in as far as I need every night. My thinking is laser sharp.

They tried to medicate me with all sorts of anti depression drugs and amphetamines. Turns out I was just very unhealthy, from a basic lifestyle perspective. And the school was pushing that lifestyle. My guidance counseler suggested I dont attend college, just a community college (despite the fact that I got admitted to a decent state school), or maybe go into the "trades".

These large scale school systems treat students like cattle, with zero regard for the long term effects. Many mental health concerns would disappear if people were actually healthy in the most basic sense.
This is why we have school busses. Why are children being tasked with transporting other children to school?
Right -- medical advances are the major exception to this line of thinking, as I noted.

in the article: „And around puberty, their circadian clocks shift by a couple of hours, meaning they get tired later at night than before and wake up later in the morning than they used to. This shift reverses at adulthood.“
I agree with you somewhat that there is some personal responsibility required here, but I disagree that the answer here is so simple as going to sleep earlier.
Maybe just schedule the not-intellectually-heavy stuff earlier in the day, if we can't screw up the parents' schedules with a later start time.

For example, start school with a study hall (that you can miss if you're so able e.g. if you can drive yourself to school), and let the kids nap. Honestly that would have been a game changer for me, as I never did my homework until the last second.
Flip every mention you made about language with drawing and you'll see it's the same thing. Likewise if someone said they've "never been able to speak a foreign language", you'd quite rightly say that's absurd, of course you can't speak a foreign language naturally. Same with drawing, sure some people are perhaps more gifted but everyone is able to do it

Me too… it makes me so sad.

I see it getting pushed a lot by companies using 365 and in particular all of Microsoft’s security setup stuff (like Authenticator wanting to own your phone), so you have to confine your communications to within the walled garden.

I think higher ups like the fact that it integrates with their outlook calendar (although the teams calendar itself fails to meet expectations for a calendar for the same reasons above - that is, like chat, I expect to see the latest updates to the calendar but they do not appear without an explicit refresh… like it’s still 1999 or something).
Show HN: Covid changed everything, let's rethink rent
That they purchased/rented a structurally compromised home is self-evident from the news articles showing the post-earthquake rubble. They certainly may have not known it was compromised (never claimed they did), but they sure as hell didn't know it was sound (probably because they either could not afford reputable inspection or even if they could didn't have the money to afford sound housing.)
Anecdotally, as sometime who was a teenager in the pre-smartphone era I stayed up late plenty without any personal portable screens. I’d just be staying up to watch TV or read a book instead.

Elliott Management took an activist role at SalesForce recently, I suspect this is the first of many ways Elliott will look to remove people without the need of severence. This happened at athenahealth as well where the layoff date was spread about the office, resulting in a mass exodus of people. The resulting layoff was much smaller and thus less costly

This showcases other problems with American society. With poor social support structures and urban design, kids can't simply walk to and from school, take public transportation, or ride school provided transportation to remove parents being chauffeurs.

It is heavily resisted by sports parents, especially. They like the extra afternoon time after school that an early start provides. It's one of the main reasons I've seen these kinds of proposals shot down before it could really get going, locally.

> everyone leaves for school at the same time, so if you move grade 9 forward an hour, you have to do the same with grade 4 to get any benefit; the 9th grader is taking the 4th grader to school. That problem stopped this shift dead recently where I live.

Where?! Around here they don't have enough busses for everyone to go at once. Young kids start late (which sucks, because they've already burnt at least one of their best and most-alert hours of the day by then) and older kids start early (which also sucks, of course). They could flip it—after all, the older kids are the ones best-equipped to get themselves to school after the parents leave for work—but see again the sports-parents' (and, within the schools, coaches and athletic directors') objections.

I think this a great example of why people don't like ChatGPT.

Here is a certain-sounding comment, which took me some time to read and verify. But Google search showed this post: https://www.houstonnwchamber.org/the-legacy-of-compaq/ which mentions

> “California-style” campus in the trees along Cypress Creek ... in the outer suburbs of northwest Houston

google maps easily finds Cypress Creek, and it is really in northwest Houston, and it is 25 miles away from "5251 Westheimer Road, Houston TX", nowhere close.

Looks like ChatGPT was completely wrong. And those who claim that "but people will know ChatGPT can make mistakes, users will verify"... well, here is a counter-example, ChatGPT junk directly to comment field.
I really like the UI, very visually striking without too much whitespace, and without getting in the way.
Its more than just rebelliousness. Teens' circadian rhythms are naturally shifted towards falling asleep later in the evening and waking up later in the morning.
As described, it is literally survivorship bias:

What? The canvas is not new, you've been able to dump the DOM and make canvas-only UI for many years.

The "new thing" is just improved code sharing if you are making a canvas-y thing for multiple platforms. And letting people use their preferred language if not JavaScript.
Electric cars are better for the climate than petrol or diesel
Is it accurate to mentally model this feature as browser mounting/applying CSS not to the document, but to the arbitrary DOM element in it?
You are correct. I think research started into the effects of TV screens on teenagers sleeping patterns.

Research has indicated that extensive television viewing tends to be associated with sleep problems among children, adolescents, and adults.1-6 However, few studies of risk for sleep problems have assessed television viewing.1 Only 2 studies have investigated the sequencing of the association between television viewing and the development of sleep problems during childhood or early adolescence.2,5 The findings of both studies suggested that television viewing was associated with increased risk for sleep problems during the next 9 to 12 months. However, no prospective longitudinal study has investigated the long-term association of television viewing with the development of sleep problems from early adolescence through early adulthood. Thus, little is known about the nature and direction of the association between television viewing and sleep problems during adolescence and early adulthood.

This is great. Customising extra mouse buttons for day-to-day computer use is underrated.

I mapped the two side buttons on my mouse to switch virtual desktops, and now I can't live without it. Switching desktops is a three-fingered swipe away on a laptop trackpad, why shouldn't it be as immediate with a mouse?

For my home theatre PC (i.e. the intel NUC that's plugged into the TV for netflix), the wireless mouse that's sitting on my coffee table has its side-buttons mapped to volume up/down, which is important - the wireless keyboard has prominent volume controls, but avoiding switching to the keyboard is extra useful in this context.

I like my current mouse (microsoft intellimouse), but the prospect of adding three further buttons in addition to the two side buttons I already have, and the realisation that the escape key, specifically, is one of the major drivers of mouse-to-keyboard switches, is making me consider switching to the one in the OP. Though being ambidextrous is a drawback - the intellimouse is an excellent shape.
I'm quite confused about this, since I'm from a place where nearly everybody is a lone child.

But what if the 4th grader doesn't have a 9th grader sibling? Like what do the family do when the 9th grader was a 4th grader? Do parents literally drive them every day to school? Isn't there some kind of school bus system that transports kids from and to their school?

Pro-WFH people absolutely want companies to embrace fully remote. I haven't yet had a discussion where, after traversal of enough rabbit-holes, everyone agrees that only viable options are (A) fully-remote, (B) fully-office, (C) hybrid where everyone is in office on the same days.

Just to give one specific example - if half the team is in office huddled around a conference room table and the rest half is dialing in via Zoom, the ones in the common room will have far better connection and the remote members will feel neglected.
No, I don't recall anyone saying that. They mostly said "this is amazingly effective at finding relevant information compared to all other search engines." Google didn't invent the Web, so accusing it of being responsible for non-factual Web content would have been a strange thing to do. Bing/Chat-GPT, on the other hand, is manufacturing novel non-factual content.
My guess is that a lot of this is due to redefining "violence and trauma" and emphasizing victimhood. If you're constantly told you're oppressed and being subjected to "violence" then you're more likely to react accordingly. A lot of reality is subjective, especially as it relates to happiness or sadness.

So I have a factory and want to emit a lot of air pollution but I'm in a place that uses Mises/Rothbard style property rights to deal with pollution. What do I do?

Simple. I make my smokestacks really tall so the pollution is emitted very high into the air and has dispersed massively before some of it reaches any particular property. All the other factory owners do that too both locally and far away.

Someone comes after me for violating their property rights by polluting their air...and I get off because they can't prove causality. Yes, my factory emitted pollutant X, but so did hundreds of other factories both near mine and hundreds of miles away and everywhere in between. They can't prove that any detectable amount of my pollution actually ended up in their air.

It is a bit rash, but it’s the exact same study trotted out literally thousands of times by disgruntled residents on Reddit, fuming that there exists a profession that can practice medicine without years of humiliating residency. Whenever someone uses that study as a citation, it’s immediate reason to discredit anything else they’re going to say. Just spend a few minutes looking at that “Noctor” subreddit the guy shared. It makes me disguised with MDs in general just reading it, until I remind myself that most of the posters there are just inexperienced students or residents. I do feel bad for the suckers that take its content at face value though.

We seem to be approaching enough chaos where major entrenched systems changes like this will start to become possible.
