I have a behavior pattern from my father: I'm initially 'happy' if someone is getting hurt (not Bad).

Like someone is dropping something or whatever.

I realized that's not the reaction I want to have and have a core memory of a woman asking a man who drove into the wall (with the back of a truck) if everything was okay with him before even checking the damage to the truck and her house wall.

I want my first reaction to be like that.

My older cousin told me on e that our grandpa was also like my father.

It's an unlogical trained behavior. Nothing more.

And unfortunately that also means there is no reason for people being like that than 'they learned it.

Germans have the word schadenfreude. Is it even a cultural pattern and my family just pushed the goal post further than others?
You know, I'm not anyone in charge of deciding what goes into these republished works. I'm just some random internet stranger baffled at the people comparing edits to popular works of fiction which will be acknowledged in writing with a disclaimer to totalitarian regimes actively hiding the truth and pretending they haven't.
The trend is fearing to offend and all the consequences and ((social) media) outrage that follows.
I just want to point out that some of the statements in your comment seem to be presented as facts when they are actually heavily disputed.

> "a cartel of traditional and social media companies worked with the FBI and intelligence agencies to push a false narrative (the fake Steele dossier, paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign)"

- while there are differing opinions on the veracity of this claim, it's important to consider the potential implications if it were true. If it were true, it would suggest that the President was compromised and had a conflict of interest between his personal vs the national interest, which is a serious concern.

- Additionally, there are many other instances where the President's conflicts of interest have been on display, such as his actions in Helsinki and his use of the presidency to enrich himself and his associates.

> "and to suppress a major story about corruption by a Presidential candidate (Hunter Biden's laptop)"

- It's worth noting that this claim was heavily promoted by the Trump campaign and lacked substantial evidence.

- And even if the worst version of these claims were true, they would be minor in comparison to other serious allegations against the former President, such as the Zelensky quid pro quo and the use of taxpayer dollars to benefit his businesses.

--
(I'd also add to the broader discussion that)

- While it's true that Western media has made mistakes and increased the spread of divisive content, the narratives about China and Russia are often rooted in solid ideological (or at least mostly self-consistent) principles, such as anti-authoritarianism and free speech.

- The real issue with our media, in my opinion, is its role in amplifying domestic right vs. left divisiveness, which weakens the United States in the world, and is tearing our society apart.
How is it possible for those encoders to know that fog is less important than other elements of the game scene?

It seems like removing the elements will ensure bits aren’t wasted on those elements.
I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

If people want to debate, then they can go to a forum where people are debating. If they don't want to debate, then they can go to a forum where people aren't debating. Everyone gets what they want. That's good, isn't it?
Is this question substantially different from “why don’t animals have four legs and 2 hands?”

It strikes me that there could have been dozens of “genesis” events early in earth’s history which evolution aligned into a few winning blueprints.

The blog nicely states that OKRs are just a part of a solution. I've seen when OKRs actually worked, and the emphasis was put on the objectives part and later the indicators produced a set of initiatives. Unfortunately, I've also seen really stupid low level "OKRs" (like unit test coverage) absolutely detached from bussines goals and the whole process was just a cargo cult managment.

Recruiters (the good ones) spend significant time finding candidates and putting them in front of employers. They have relationships with the employers, sometimes exclusive placement deals. After an unsuccessful interview the employer usually (in my experience) talks to the recruiter about why the candidate was not suitable so neither party wastes time -- the recruiter can use that information to send candidates more likely to get hired, which is the only way recruiters get paid.

Recruiters will put a candidate to the bottom of the pile if they flunk multiple interviews, or badly bomb one. That embarrasses the recruiter -- they lose credibility with their actual customer (the employer) if they keep sending unqualified candidates and idiots who show up for interviews late in gym shorts and a Metallica t-shirt who don't know what the company they're interviewing at does (actual experience I had). A good recruiter will tell you how to do better next time. They probably won't send you back to the same employer for another try right away, though. A good recruiter can prepare candidates for the interview, the bad ones just throw mud at the wall to see what sticks.
So, what does being a prompt engineer pay these days? And how do you find a job doing it?

Edit: maybe I should have kept reading.

> Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI employees and the maker of a language-AI system called Claude, recently listed a job opening for a “prompt engineer and librarian” in San Francisco with a salary ranging up to $335,000. (Must “have a creative hacker spirit and love solving puzzles,” the listing states.)
Totally agree. I read through it and thought "this is not a hard concept".

That said, I did think the last graphic in the article was really interesting, showing that with a highly elliptical orbit it's possible for a moon to both rise and set on the same side. The article could have been greatly improved by just showing those three planet/moon graphics and explaining the 3 possible states for each.

you appear to have failed to understand the question that the questioner was asking.
It's a good comment because it summarizes the article better than the title does. Every article with a misleading title should have a top comment like that.
First, he is not the "Indian opposition leader", he belongs to a regional party where in he is part of the opposing political party. India, currently does not have an opposition leader by definition. The same opposition leader and other leaders of the regional AAP party has been involved into a lot of misgivings as well, which are not pointed out in your references, some of them proven, some not. Political hitjobs by the ruling party? Maybe. Impeding investigation or attempt to gain mass public support by making last minute highly publicized visits or statements? Maybe.

There is a strong bias in your previous posts and your submissions against the ruling party in India, which has been time and again questioned/ pointed out in your previous submissions. Not that there is anything wrong about it, but again HN may not be the place for political and potentially controversial discussions which can devolve into a flame war.

edit : fixed verbiage.
There are hate speech laws they can follow. That should cover the extremes. And if they don't, then it is the failure of the legislation.

Just like how you can't go to walmart and insult everyone you see. It would actually be illegal to retaliate against those people. But call the cops and they can be dealt with.

At least with the laws, there is more checks and balances. It isn't perfect, but it is better than giving private entities massive power to control opinions.

Byproducts of combusting these chemicals, breakdown products as these chemicals degrade. Dioxin still hasn't been tested for as far as I am aware[1], and it is a known byproduct of the combustion of Vinyl chloride.[2] And it is believed that the atmospheric conditions present at the time of the combustion would have lead to its localized spread in the area. (can't find the reference for this at this time)

[1] - https://www.wtae.com/article/us-epa-considers-future-tests-f...

> "I'd have to consult my team," said EPA Administrator Michael Regan on Feb. 21, when asked at a news conference whether authorities had tested for dioxins in East Palestine. "I'm not quite sure if we're testing for dioxins yet. I know that it's under discussion."

...

> “The incomplete combustion byproducts of those chemicals – we have no idea what they are,” he said. “And they can potentially be highly toxic or carcinogenic.”

> Gao pointed out that when chemicals such as vinyl chloride burn in the open, it’s not possible to ensure a “complete” chemical reaction. It is therefore impossible to know for sure which byproducts are created without experimentation.

[2] - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10705663/

> Dioxin values measured in soils and plants were in the natural range of 20 ng I-TE/kg DS. These values increased to 8300 ng at the very seat of the fire only. With the water used for fire fighting vinyl chloride penetrated into the groundwater revealing values of up to 73 mg/litre.
Unfortunately the term "troll" has indeed been muddled. Often times I see people use them so incorrectly. You speak to someone calmly and someone suddenly throws the world "troll" at you. Like "Yeah, ok, you're trolling."

I don't get it. How do you come to that conclusion? People with a different set of opinions than yourself would go out of their way to have a conversation with you, construct a neat and tidy identity, just to make you angry? And this is not even in political conversation, sometimes it's just that you have different preferences. In what communities is it so common to have people so obsessed that they construct fictional identities and weaponize a constructed set of beliefs they don't even associate with, just to piss someone off?
Internet lore cleaves between this interpretation and references to the fishing practice of dropping a baited hook with a float (or fly) and then twitching the fishing line just enough to create the impression of some small creature fighting the current.

Absolutely. Indeed, Manish Sisodia is a 'leader of one of the opposition parties'. But HN does not allow too many characters in the post title hence I tried to add more information in a comment under my post. :)

Only upon reading your comment a second time did I realize you said “no kids”. What you wrote after sounds exactly what life can feel like for an ambitious hacker (side projects!) confronted with the massive quantity of household work that young children bring about. Passenger is a word I use a lot - my mind hasn’t changed from before kids, but at times it feels like I’m just on the sidelines watching everyone else do stuff, while I change diapers and wash dishes.

I’m not anyone to be giving out psychological advice - but given my high “overhead of life” I’ve found it a convenient time to focus on physical health. I just need 30 minutes a day for exercise, and then it’s just a matter of eating healthy. Kids may take my time but they can’t force junk food down my throat!
My time will free up down the road - and I think your “muse” will also return with time. Which is why I figure now is a great time to instead focus on health (low opportunity cost wrt side projects). You may as well start with that, and if we believe a lot of what’s written these days, it’s entirely possible that improved diet and exercise might clear and focus your mind too (that would be house money if so). But at least when your drive returns, hopefully the new healthy habits you’ve gained will stick.

Last thought - if you can’t think of anything else interesting to work on, I’d recommend blogging about a subject matter you find interesting. Just my 2 cents.
Just a note that the plugin is considered beta:

Letting people pirate your software early on is a valid business strategy. Enterprise users pay, students/hobbyists find a simple crack. Once those students enter the workforce they decide the market.
This is one of those half-true claims that C++ aficionados make, probably because they can play a bit fast and loose with resource cleanup in their particular situations.

RAII simplifies some of the resource cleanup, but at a cost: if the resource cleanup fails, there’s essentially no way to convey this.

So yes, you can write a destructor that tries to clean up your resources regardless of how the code exits its current scope. But if that cleanup encounters a problem, the destructor can, at best, try to convey this indirectly, either by (commonly) logging or (rarely) setting a variable to a value. It certainly cannot throw another exception, or even directly manipulate the return value of the function.

This is fine for some purposes, and completely unacceptable for others. But it’s not equivalent to the explicit cleanup and error handling in C.

So some of us occasionally find ourselves in an RAII language and using goto.

The abolition of modern virology, roll the clock back on them a hundred years. Allow the development of vaccines for extant viruses, but completely ban all Dr Frankenstein activities with viruses. No more "invent a virus in a lab to beat nature to the punch" horse shit, with is flagrant weapons development under the cover of civilian research. As soon as the virus started circulating through the population, did these researchers share their knowledge and help develop a vaccine? No, they buried their involvement and covered up everything they knew. They were no help at all, and never intended to be. Burn their books which describe how it is done, and silence the people who already understand it with the threat of criminal imprisonment for sharing their knowledge. Encourage major religions to amend their rules with strong taboos against this research, and institute harsh economic sanctions against any nation that doesn't participate in this ban.

Does this seem extreme? It shouldn't. This field of research has the power to kill billions and no demonstrable upside. It is even more dangerous than nuclear weapons; because at least a technician at a nuclear weapon production facility would be hard pressed to release his work on the global public of his own initiative. Smuggling a virus out of any lab is trivial, all it takes is a single madman's willingness to sacrifice himself as patient zero.

We're the villagers in an "evil wizard" scenario. The wizards have been meddling in dangerous forces beyond the understanding of common people, and it's getting people killed. The solution is to storm the wizard's tower and throw the wizards off the top of it.
Great points. I appreciate it.

>and idiots who show up for interviews late in gym shorts and a Metallica t-shirt who don't know what the company they're interviewing at does

This made me smile. Thanks for brightening my day!
Good point. I'm older and may not realize that younger people who have grown up on the internet instinctively know how to get attention online
Because what good does it do to actually dealing with the outbreak? I assume the government just made a decision that it was politically less desirable to do for a number of reasons. Mainly, probably the continuing attempts at thawing of relations with China.
Withdrawn; apologies.
Yes it's a stupid trend (most trends are), but that doesn't mean it exists because of some hidden power conspiring to take control of western society.

Since spacehey includes user-submitted content, it's possible that:

* Someone uploaded a WEBP image to the site.

* Someone pasted a link with a utm_* param.

* The page was crawled when cloudflare was used.

Will look into it and see if I can find the pages that generated the tags. Search results are generally tagged by domain name (necessary since not all pages can be crawled, and even if the page the user connects to doesn't have, for example google trackers, a user would likely want to know if the site is using trackers elsewhere).

Also love the spacehey project, really captures the feel of Myspace!
Beef without fibre?
Well, with those territories not having defensible or Christian state, from standpoint of XVII century, those were exactly the same: those lands were "empty" and those settlers, by settling there as royal subjects, claimed it for the Crown.

If they settled in some country rules of which they'd find obliged to obey - either because it was Christian, or because it was too strong to ignore with their forces - they couldn't claim land and instead, will become immigrants, then of course it's not colonisation.

You can totally throw an exception from RAII code if you declare the destructor noexcept(false).

When my first HD for my Amiga refused to spin up one day (an A590 with whatever brand of drive was inside it; I can't recall), I ended up opening it up, and manually "helping" the motor. Once it had spun up, I was able to access the files again. I meticulously backed everything up (to floppies... it was only a 20MB drive as well), but could not afford a replacement at that moment. I was able to keep using the drive for another 6 months at least before I replaced it. Every time I cold-started the machine I would have to open the enclosure and help spin it up with my fingers... (of course being very careful about backing up anything essential regularly).

People did useful work with Mathematica on the computers of 35 years ago.

They had a tiny fraction of an RPi's compute. Maybe because interesting mathematics is more the product of interested mathematicians rather than hardware.

With Mathematica around for 35 years, there's evidence that it has a sustainable model with regard to popularity.
The size of the English-speaking market certainly matters.

Why make a $100 million video game like GTA 5 for 200 million French speakers when you can address the market of 2 billion global English speakers?

(Of course, they do localize it to French after developing it in English. But not everything gets localized and usually it’s targeted primarily at the English market.)
The Electromagnetic Spectrum
I would prefer more logical tags like “top 1k”, “aggregator”, “user-generated content” than technical like “utm” and “obfuscated scripts”.
Also, I would prefer tags grouped together into expandable lists and not shown all by default. Every site uses javascript, I don’t want to see it over and over again unless specifically queried for that.
"Or how failing to account for how some images handle compression led to HBO shipping those unwatchably dark Game of Thrones episodes. I guess directors targeting streaming nowadays know not to do that?"

That blame lies on the service encoders. They should be allocating more bitrate to dark scenes, and gently debanding them, rather than relying on decades-old x264 defaults.

But to be fair this wasn't well known back in early GoT days.

Was "boolshit" deliberate, or just a typo? For marketing hype about computer programming languages, it seems like the perfect term. So, whether deliberate or accidental, well done!
Because it encourages mob justice.
More than ten years working solely on a laptop (cloud system admin and programming). I don't miss the multiple monitors at my last f/t job -- I couldn't really use all that space anyway, it was just distracting. I often work on my iPad (with keyboard). I like having just one thing in focus at a time, not a bunch of windows demanding my attention.

Because I travel a lot I have always used a 13" Macbook Air or a Chromebook of the same size, or the iPad. I spend most of my time going between the web browser and multiple ssh sessions (I use the screen utility for that). I feel as productive as the next person, sometimes more because I can start working seconds after I sit down, nothing to set up or plug in.

When I started my career programming a million years ago (late '70s) I used dumb terminals with 80x24 character displays, for a long time. Modern displays are so much better in every way I don't feel the need to keep adding more screen real estate. And I'm 62 years old with failing vision, which makes me scratch my head when programmers less than half my age complain about small screens. Programming mainly happens in the brain, not on the screen.
It's hard to understand for me why Wordpress core maintainers and developers decided to not uplift developers working in the WP ecosystem and in the result improve all plugins and themes codebase.
Just simply providing a few well documented plugins with modern coding practices showing how things SHOULD be done would to wonders, adding to that good documentation introducing guidelines and standardization, good API for admin interfaces would gradually, over time change WP ecosystem.

Instead it's just wild wild west, code review is a pain because every plugin and every developer working with WP has radically different structure and coding practices approach.

In regard to WordPlate project - I can guarantee that huge amount of plugins and themes won't work correctly with this modified, non-default project structure.
