Im assuming you're employed but live in S. Cal. Some of my suggestions assume that.

Thoughts:

- You really need a cigarette lighter mini fridge. They're less than $100 at home depot. Note, they suck, but you don't have alternatives and you'll be able to have a cold beer occasionally.

Careful not to drain the car battery, and keep it in a shaded part of your vehicle.

- I find that there can large T differences in the car. Under the seat is fairly cool, and the T is more stable.

Keep your meds and the mini-fridge there, preferably by the floor vent if equipped.

- Does your van have windows or is it a workman's van? Glass is your enemy. You probably cant afford to just buy a van, but a white windowless Transit van is better than a Pacifica.

- Use white bed sheets to cover your interior and shade everything.

- you probably do this, but solar windshield covers.

- Keep your windows open a crack. Really just a crack small enough to keep even the rain out. Convection is huge. This is most important at day if crime is locally a problem.

- Paint it white.

- If you can, take advantage of the van's mobility and move to fairer weather throughout the year. If you have to stay in the LA region, go north just across the mesa (?) towards S. Barbara. Much cooler there. Id set myself up in Montecito myself.
"A protein called FMRP that is absent in the brains of people with FXS modulates the activity of a type of potassium channel in the brain. According to the research group's work, it is the absence of this protein that alters the way sensory inputs are combined, causing them to be underrepresented by the signals coming out of the cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain."

Maybe adjusting the production of the protein they identified would be a reasonable thing to study before resorting to Clockwork Orange therapy.
If you can reuse the test db then it's still not order dependent. If your test framework doesn't support reusing setups, you create some kind of function like getOrCreateDbConnection() that idempotently set up your test environment.

Order dependent tests happen when you have like a createUserTest and a deleteUserTest and the latter doesn't actually create the user it deletes but requires being called strictly once after createUserTest.

Some of our code at work is like that and it's a pain because it means the tests have to run sequentially (slow), you can't run any single test in isolation and if something breaks it sometimes causes a failure in the wrong test.
There's a statistical relation between being highly educated and having left libertarian viewpoints. Maybe it's not so surprising that a language model trained on a huge amount of information reflects this very same trend?
Community edition must be different then? It seems I have a .app folder and I don't remember having to do anything special for that to happen.
There are many different things that can be best because people value different things.
It's pretty easy to be best at one thing if it's not the currently most popular thing.
You probably don't even need to try to be best; as long as there is something you care about, you will probably be one of the best at that.

An example of that is that the computer I use is the best computer I have ever used but it's far from the fastest one (which most people seem to care about).

It seems like most things compete for the same type of best, which just makes everything the same, because everything is trying to be the same.
This is boring because I often want something else.
The best way to get anywhere is not to try to be the best, but to allow yourself to be another best.
Bing chatbot is coming on to the users
> In practice it's nonsense to pretend you can just turn up.

No, in practice it's nonsense to pretend you can't.

You can rent short term apartments (airbnbs for example, but there are other services). Or you can just stay at hotels.

Why would you need extra car insurance? Is your car insurance not valid for all of Europe?

Why would you need access to the health service (beyond emergencies, which are already covered by your EU insurance card)?

Occasinal ID checks? But what do they check? They can check if your ID card is valid and you are not wanted for crime.

Sure, you leave some minimal paper trail, but in reality no one ever checks, no one knows, no one cares.

I'm not saying anybody SHOULD do this, but there are some people who definitely COULD.
@OP, I'm an EM at "frugal", ldap is hcliff if you want to chat.

I'm assuming OP is L5, which does require "people influencing", although no formal leadership and or TL role is required. You can stay at this level indefinitely.

OP, is your manager ok with your current performance? Is your EM trying to grow you for promo or into the full level reqs? You should seek clarity here and if the former set boundaries/expectations as per the parent comment.

> But now I'm struggling to find motivation to do my work
Is this recent? I'm seeing this quite a bit with the current job insecurity and turmoil at the company. As other comments have advocated: therapy and consider extended leave or a team switch. FWIW I don't think lower stakes work is going to fix your motivation, something you care about may.
GM patents self-cleaning touchscreens that erase fingerprints overnight
A few observations from your initial description to maybe help you figure out how you want to handle this.

1. Most people calling the helpdesk are in a very specific state of mind: they have a problem and they want it solved. They're not curious about where the problem comes from, they don't want to know how to avoid it next time, they don't want to learn a better way to do things. They have an interrupt that prevents them from resuming the rest of their day, and they want that interrupt dealt with as quickly as possible. For people in this frame of mind, trying to be helpful usually backfires. You solved their problem, that's what they called for, they're not interested in getting educated. These people will always look for the fastest way to solve their problem and the one which requires the least amount of cognitive activity on their part. Anything that makes the conversation longer than it needs to be or requires them to engage more brain cells is a downside.

2. It seems like there's a status issue as well. You mention that these users "operate beyond [your] abilities" so maybe a bit of inferiority complex on your part? In which case explaining how you know better than them could be a way for you to even the score, so to speak. But then this triggers its own opposite reaction, "I have a PhD so of course I can figure out how computers work if I put my mind to it, stop talking down to me". To which you respond, effectively, "having a big brain and knowing how things work are 2 different things, you may be book smart but I am street smart" and it escalates.

My advice, insofar as it makes any sense, is to let go of all this social context when you're in helpdesk duty. Take the call with the objective to help a human being get on with the rest of their day with as little fuss as possible. Accept that some will be grateful and say thank you, and others will be douchebags, because that's how human beings work. Trust to karma to reward the good ones and punish the douchebags. Accept that you can't teach someone who doesn't want to learn. Don't bring your ego into it, because winning technical arguments with someone shouldn't be how you measure your self-worth.
Reality has whichever bias your political lens introduces.
Dropbox hit with $175M real estate loss as San Francisco office sits empty
Most people strongly believe they're correct, the universe disagrees and so their perception becomes that there must be some sort of bias, the alternative would be that they're wrong which they can't accept.

Being able to accept that you're often wrong, without just taking some nihilistic stance like "I don't know if anything is real", is not easy, and we ought to admire it but on the whole we do not.
Exactly. Elon is open about ASD (he uses the word Asperger's because he’s older), Anthony Hopkins is open about autism too (he can memorise a 7 page script), I suspect Tarantino may have it, and half of the people who built the internet.

Anyone that tries to ‘rectify’ me can fuck off.

Edit: as a user of HN since it was Startup News, and as someone who is very much aware of the HN guidelines, 'fuck off' was chosen very carefully towards anyone who would erase my existence.

Hopefully HN has a modicum of empathy for other people and can understand others not wanting to be destroyed.
That should show up pretty clearly at the ballot box and yet the US remains divided and most other countries go back and forth between left and right leaning parties every election or two.
The best programs are (were) the ones the programmers had fun writing them.
I resonate with this topic. Checking your own repos on a new computer is one thing… inheriting someone else’s project and running it on your machine in the node ecosystem is very rough.

Anyways, I made a slightly more advanced buildless vue project here: https://github.com/kyleparisi/buildless-vuejs

It has the advantage of using .vue files which I enjoy. Oh and guess what… it has code splitting because you have to define what components the page needs ;).
Microsoft probably doesn't care about Windows market share on actual native hardware.

They are moving their business customers onto the cloud. Microsoft Windows 365 is what they want people on. Monthly subscriptions and streamed remote desktop.

They want people using their apps, Office 365 is already available on MacOS.
This! Our society as a whole push us toward performing aiming to produce more, to consume more again and over again. We don't do things because we like them of we want to have fun. We do these things to perform, gain wealth, visibility, status. Such approach steer us away from the innate human need of exploring, playing and mastering for the sake of it, which, surprise surprise, it is what make human happy.
What about your balls being too warm? A lot of people spend all their day inside in heated rooms or in a car with a heated seat.
Excuse my ignorance but where is this used these days?
Mandarin speaker here. There are indeed different counting words for different nouns, so for a bird (鸟) you say 一只鸟 and for a chair (椅子) you say 一把椅子.
The thing is - nobody really cares or checks this. I know so many people doing this with 0 issues.

Yes northen europeans just living in portual/spain without telling anyone. Its typical example.

Also most people traveling/living europe like this tend to travel somewhere every 3 months (often to their home country).

You reset the counter by traveling. The rules are not enforced especially if you are bringing money and behaving nicely.

This by itself would have been enough for me to walk out. Toxic.
I agree with this, also because of the following reason: Wow! A forum, that does not only show a white page, when having JS disabled! The usual current crop of forum software will not even render anything, if you don't allow 3 CDNs and some third party JS to run.
This heavily depends on which part of policies you take into account. Many European countries are shifting to the right concerning migration. But when looking at the fiscal / economic policies of for example the PVV in the Netherlands (the far-right party of Geert Wilders) you will find that those policies are very comparable to left-wing parties.
I put in a 20 character random alphanumeric password and it wouldn't let me use it because it didn't have a symbol.

It's entirely reasonable to expect family and friends to properly clean up a place that you have kindly allowed them to use. But that is an entirely different domain (i.e. non-commercial).
A toy hypothesis: if we find the planet where life originated, it might be dominated by ribosome-based life but with a few RNA-only species surviving.
Interesting article, but they don't link to the data, just suggest that you build the dataset yourself with Google. I'm also not seeing mention of cost of living.

> For ease of comparison we’ve converted all numbers to USD ($).

That seems a strange choice, given that this is Europe. The target market for this blog post must not be Europeans.
Analyses like this are not usually performed by insiders. People that write them are external researchers (in this case, Symantec's) that have limited (or zero) insight into actual logs on the target system. There is some coordination with the attacked organisation, but requesting "please find the attack vector for us" or "just send us all your logs" is out of the question. So, unless the attack is really high profile, sometimes it's easier to just accept that you don't know something.
Comparing salaries across European countries without any mention or adjustment by cost of living? What's the purpose?
It's attractive because it implies extra-terrestrial life exists. People find extra-terrestrial life very attractive.
While their accessories are quite overpriced, it's not just "in the name of". It's in reality, too: there are quite a few teardowns comparing the insides of e.g. Apple chargers vs. generic chargers. Whatever issues you may have with Apple accessories, cheaper ones are often much worse.
How do you determine which is the most accomplished author?
You do what Wikipedia does - present multiple sides to the problem as each of the sides views it, as accurately as possible. That's how you analyze _any_ subjective topic.
The average erect penis length increased by 24% over 29 years
To really remember, let's assume a person needed to be 15 around 2005. Those people are now 33. Not what I'd call "very young".

Microsoft was founded 40+ years ago. It's changed over that time. So has Apple.

So has the entire IT market.
I am really confused. Specifically regarding whether you disagree with my general points which I would 100% totally understand or the bracketed statement which would leave me doubting my understanding of any of this topic.

I'd like to say the statement I'm querying is really relevant to my career as I work on back-end systems and my understanding is that it is really important for medical databases to be expanded so that doctors can schedule the right type of medical screening for somebody based on their body. I'm also aware that in certain parts of the world people might not want information stored in databases because they fear persecution based on that stored data.
Second that, I love Frida! I recently wrote about how I used it to reverse engineer the MacBook’s clamshell mode, and add it in Lunar (https://lunar.fyi)

There’s a few extra steps in allowing Frida to work on macOS so leaving that here in case others might be interested in how to do it: https://alinpanaitiu.com/blog/turn-off-macbook-display-clams...
I started one in golang but haven't had enough time to work on it much yet. Want to collaborate?
It's absolutely not enough for APT investigation. Average attacks lengths are in months, infections sometimes span multiple years. Especially since we're talking about a backdoor (ransomware operators tend to move more quickly)
It's from a comedy show, but it does describe a part of the current US political spectrum well. A significant part of US conservatives make claims that are simply wrong, not just a different political opinion but just outright contradicting reality. Trump is probably one of the more extreme versions of this, though the quote precedes his presidency.

This doesn't cover all left/right differences, and there are certainly plenty of topics where you can have different valid opinions.
And it also broke rule #1, about always being honest.
I’d expect places with generally pleasant weather to attract more interest than places without. It wouldn’t surprise me if that drove both higher home prices and more homelessness.

(I don’t live in CA, but I have somewhat frequently sat on an airplane de-icing pad waiting to travel to CA.)
Thanks for the feedback!

I actually have considered adding a feature for easily-confused characters in a more obvious way. As for now, you can filter by a particular radical, but that requires you applying it outside of a card. I would like to eventually show easily confused cards or a way to directly apply a radical filter from directly inside of cards, based on the radical components of that character. I will have to get that one back on the list. Even if it is not comprehensive to start, there would definitely be a benefit to cover some of the most commonly confused characters (己/已，土/士, etc).

It has definitely been a challenge to get the balance right of getting people up and running, while also fully understanding the capabilities JinbuPal has right from start. We will have to consider how best to accomplish that and I appreciate your suggestions. It sounds like we still have some tweaking to do to get the balance right there!
> that I left on to avoid coming home to 85 degree heat

My sympathy is with the host here.
Ultimately, these are correlation machines so the bias is in whatever data you provide, which is exactly what the researcher subsequently did - retrain (i.e. feed it with a new set of correlations) and BAM! it's right wing now [0]. Gary Marcus has a good post about it [1].

Sometimes I think I'd be quite happy to be "rectified" of ASD...

Whether it is correct or not to see it _entirely_ in a disease model (which it's not clear to me, how should the study have been done with a hybrid model?), I have to disagree with the suggestion it shouldn't be seen as an issue.

As long as you avoid right-wing facts, sure.
Discipline meaning “branch of knowledge,” or “area of work/study,” in this case. In the other sense (obedience/adherence to something), motivation is often considered temporary or fleeting. “Motivation gets you started, discipline keeps you going.”
Many of the political biases in Chat GPT seem to occur at censorship layers rather than in its honest hallucinations.

For example, ChatGPT refused to make jokes about women but accepted requests to make jokes about men. Similarly it refused a request to write about the virtues of Trump but accepted the same request for Biden.
From my own experience, all the syrups that lots of modern food include cause me massive memory and sleep problems.

I do have some gut bacteria imbalances, that might increase the bad effects of sugar, but still, I could not function if I wont avoid added sugars, which is pretty hard task today.

So I'm not surpised by this study, cause I feel it immediatley how the sugar disables my brain.
Can you help me understand why it may not be? At this moment I’m thinking political leanings are normative, and must just not go against facts.
Nope.

The parent specifically states that correct unsafe code is more expensive to produce though?

I agree with the parent anyway. Most programming is relatively low stakes (at worst the user restarts the app or make a new shopping cart or sends the message again etc.) which then means that most programmers are trained to write low-stakes code. IMO this is why "turning it off then on again" and "delete the configuration files" are such common advice.
"Universal" in USB really only refers to the physical connector.

The amount of things that are optional on the protocol level is... basically everything.

If your USB-C plug only provides charging, it's USB-C compliant, and if I understand it correctly, will get a USB-C certification.
I would say of the top of my head:

• Employee rights

• Health insurance

• Militarism ("What is an appropriate amount to spend on military")

• Global Warming
I agree with this one. From a European standpoint, there is right-center, and more-right in the US.
At that point it will be good to remember that many thought a stateless function was conscious.

I think it might be possible to make conscious machines, but just as basically every human recognizes humans as conscious when we have a conscious machines we should expect basically every human to think that it is obviously conscious. So at that point there will no longer be a discussion, we might still not treat it ethically like how we don't treat animals ethically, but people will recognize it and then it will be a discussion what is ethical to do with such beings.
What about corporations, which accumulate wealth, can copy themselves (e.g. create a subsidiary in a new market and spin it off), and are considered legal persons?

Proxy Enriched Sequence Diagrams (PESD) is our Burp Suite extension to visualize web traffic in a way that facilitates the analysis and reporting in scenarios with complex functional flows. While classic sequence diagrams for software engineering are meant for an abstract visualization and all the information is carried by the diagram itself, PESD is designed to include granular information related to the underlying HTTP traffic being represented in the form of explorable metadata.
