Popular is not ‘useful’.

people loved it when that flight attendant quit their job, pulled the emergency slide and jumped out the door, because we all find it amusing when someone acts completely inappropriately for the circumstances (so long as it doesn’t harm anyone or inconvenience us personally).

That doesn’t mean we want all flight attendants to be crazy and unpredictable.

I dunno how they got the pic of the dead pig. If I went to stage such a picture I'd need to let the thing bloat inside for a day or two and then have someone standing over it with firearms to keep the vultures off while getting the picture. Also have to note its not visibly leaking anything; suggests that it was washed.

Now you're talking about financial burden again. I don't wish the situation you are describing on anyone, and I am sympathetic to making choices to avoid that happening. I don't think that is inconsistent with my other comments.

Just to add, here are a few other things that also limit your day to day freedom and add some risk of legal nightmares:

- operating a business

- owning a home or other building

- running for political office

- raising a child

- using a professional license (medical, law, civil engineer, etc)
Or marry a good person, raise happy kids and live a good life together.

If you are not married and one partner makes significantly more than the other, what's to stop the wealthy partner just deciding 20 years into the relationship that they want a newer model and just leaving the former partner destitute? It creates a massive power discrepancy in the relationship. "Do what I want or I'll leave you in the street."

Married people work towards the same goal as a unit. Do whatever you want it's your life but marriage has very much been a net positive in my and my kids lives. I'm the primary earner in my relationship.
Java does allow you to work with unsigned types efficiently (look at the methods with unsigned in their names in the Integer or Long classes: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/19/docs/api/java.base...). But those uses are relatively specialised and the vast majority of Java users don't need that. So it's best to keep them as APIs rather than in the core language.

> It’s all the yuppies from California that are the cause of the problem

Yuppies may be a piece of the puzzle, but the massive surge in institional home ownership is surely the larger factor (the NIMBY obstruction of home construction is surely a factor too). Which means that it is indeed the billionaires fault, since it is their money backing it.
You're right about the antagonism - though the long run history of Europe shows plenty of that. I don't believe you're correct that because of it, citizens could not travel between Italian states. Plenty of famous artists did so.

I do point out that NATO and the EU are two key differences between then and now.

I also compare the signorie with "elected autocrats", in that they take real power while preserving the façade of democratic or republican institutions. Does that make more sense?

Ask HN: Which HN post (or comment) changed your life (or career)
I'm 45 years old and I've consumed many time- (and self-) management books that suggest to avoid news and social media. In general, this is good advice.

The one exception I make is my twice-daily scan of the HN homepage, as, over the years, there have been many insightful posts, comments and links which have helped me tremendously [1]. This includes "Show HN" for tools and platforms that helped me gain an edge (Algolia, Sqreen) and comments which help to negate rabbit holes.

So, I am wondering: which posts (or insightful comments) have helped you?

[1] A big thank you to the HN moderators who ceaselessly do their best to maintain a consistent quality.

None of these assertions about SES and IQ are supported with citations, which is unsurprising because they're unlikely to be true: instead, we have studies that show the opposite thing (see, for instance, Turkheimer).
There's probably a lot of people out there who wouldn't consider what you just described as "rock bottom".

By now, NATO is so deep in that if it abandons the battlefield, American and British credibility will be annihilated. No one would trust an ally which sticks with you for a year in the most massive European land war since 1945, only to go away later and leave you hanging.
This would be even better if it integrated with every desktop program out there.

E.g. if you want to compute the width of some object in Inkscape or Freecad, using some formula not supported by those programs.
The details aren't really fleshed out scientifically, I will certainly grant you that. However, I think just the very concept of a drug/medicine/some sort of thing that can make you very smart is very relevant to real life. We are approaching breakthroughs in gene editing, brain-computer interfaces, and simulated people (AIs) that will lead to a scenario in some ways similar to Limitless. Sudden leaps in human intelligence will happen. I find Limitless to be a fairly interesting exploration of "What would I do if I suddenly could make myself a lot smarter?".

One of the main traits of good Sci-Fi in my opinion is that it leaves you with questions like these to ponder.
Why is press freedom declining around the world?
No. Technology production requires an energy input. It's fundamental physics. Reversing entropy requires an energy input, and technology is essentially entropy reversing.

At the more scientific level you can see this occurring by simply correlating energy expenditure per country per capita with the technological achievements of the respective country. Western countries are among the top energy users and technology developers.

The only good thing about technology is it's relatively low rate of decay... or in essence low rate of velocity in the descent back into a high entropy state. Knowledge once gained is kept with minimal additional energy input. But make no mistake, the crystallization of knowledge itself requires a high energy input.

Transfer and translations of these technologies also requires energy input which explains why technology doesn't easily cross certain physical boundaries like the borders between countries.

>But most of the time in my life I've felt empty, doubting myself and struggling with a weak sense of self and unhealthy thought/behavioural patterns that are hard to shed off. I feel like I've lost any passion for anything, and don't know what I want or need.

You've got to look inward and figure yourself out - that could fix a lot of the other things you brought up.

If you know yourself and your ethics very well and you work hard to live them out, you're probably happy no matter your circumstances. Meditation or long boring walks can kind of open up your subconscious so you can start doing that; you can just wait until a random thought pops in your head and start pulling that thread, ask why you thought that, where's that coming from.

Also taking psych/life advice from strangers on the internet is pretty dangerous.
What, giving them a sense of purpose, a home to move into, and access to free childcare?

Yea, how awful -- you might get in the way of their modern narcissistic lifestyle.

But yes, it can go badly -- if, for instance, you're moving in with your kids, rather than providing the house for them to move into. And doing so when no longer physically capable of providing that childcare as a benefit. And then expecting them to pay for your groceries, etc.

But then, the same has been known to happen when you've got ungrateful children, who can't be asked to lift a finger around the house, and who rely on child protective laws to shield them from ever being taught a lesson in reality.

Living with other people isn't always easy, but it does typically pay dividends when you can make it work.
Still one of the best turn based games I have played
You've misunderstood the quoted paragraph. They are saying that services that aren't on the corporate network behind the VPN or PEP should not require being routed through the corporate network to access, ideally.
> That's perfectly understandable, and users who are bothered by this are welcome to stop trusting the libraries that have chosen to do that to them. But the Java ecosystem is decentralised and Oracle has no control over third-party libraries.

The libraries which did the namespace change are things like JAXB and JAX-RS and JAX-WS, which have been part of Java since Java 6. It's not some random third-party library, and Oracle did have control over them, until one day they decided they didn't want them anymore. As a part of Java, users did expect them to keep working (other than small changes like adding or removing a couple of methods, which became even less of a risk of breakage once Java 8 introduced default methods). The use of these libraries is pervasive all over the Java ecosystem, which leads to the complaint mentioned in the comment above: by first removing them on Java 11, and then forcing their new maintainer to rename the packages (instead of grandfathering them as an exception, or even better, providing an aliasing mechanism so that the renaming wouldn't break binary compatibility), Oracle broke some of the faith people had on Java's stability and backwards compatibility.
It seems like the behavior would cause problems in the following workflow:

- create first session (launch server)

- detach

- set environmental variables

- create second session

But I don't understand why you would want to follow this workflow in practice.

When using tmux, all my work on that machine is done within tmux sessions, and I expect them to be sandboxed relative to each other. If I want to set an variable that's relevant to a session, I do it from within the session, not outside.

Had to read this many times to understand what you are talking about, but referring to the use of police dogs as "interspecies hearsay" seems like a novel defense.

I'm not sure that the rules don't still allow the backup camera to display on the rearview mirror. (Don't see anything definitive on this.) In any case, most consumers really want an in-dash nav display (and other infotainment) at this point.

But the backup camera requirement may have nudged things along a bit.
TL;DR: the parallax effect only looks 'impressive' on video, because our brain inteprets it as part of the filmed environment, but when you sit directly in front of the screen the illusion falls apart (unless you use some stereoscopic optics to trick your brain again into intepreting the parallax effect as 3D).

It was the perfect nerd-bait for YouTube, but not much more ;)
Interesting to hear other peoples opinions... I actually find it easier to say I'm working on an "art-project" these days with zero shame.

One of the advantages for me: most people assume that "art projects" generally don't start with the expectation that one is going to profit insanely (contrasted with the perception when one says "I'm doing a startup"). The measure of success is simply getting the work out there into the public, that is all an artist can do. The rest is up to the consumer.

This is the perspective that works for me and keeps me happy and humble. For me, when I gave up trying to control other peoples perceptions of myself, my life became much easier.

(edit: I'm doing something in the NFT space, so it's also technically true as well as metaphorically) YMMV.
One that I have been thinking about lately is the `QEnumComboBox` [1]. It takes the concept of a combobox (i.e. drop down list/`select`) and combines it with a python `Enum` to produce a very commonly desired functionality: allowing the user to select a value and then converting it to an `Enum`. This to me seems easily reusable because it encapsulates that functionality in a clean way. I can't think of a corresponding example in a JavaScript framework, but I would love to see one. I think this might be more difficult because one can't really pass types at runtime.

I think instead of "truly reusable" I should have said something like "requires minimal configuration." I think Python's reflection capabilities allow one to supply less boilerplate when writing PyQt apps. This is just a subjective impression that I have, and unfortunately I am having trouble elaborating on this in a way that I think would be effective. That is why I asked the author what they thought, since I am wondering if anyone else has had this impression. However, I will think about this more, and I might provide more examples if I can think of them.

Sounds like you are a sensitive, thoughtful and feeling individual. And you are reaching out to more people, strangers, presenting yourself as a massive pile of broken glass - a poetical description suggesting you'd like to talk about yourself in the context of a Feeling <> Thinking self-ideation. (ADVICE: you might want to naturally add more of that to your life, e.g. a regular poetry class, or write a daily Haiku, so EXPRESSING YOURSELF BECOMES YOUR LIFE.)

ADVICE: it's going to continue to require mindfulness, ongoing for the rest of your life in order to maintain the kind of mood-state that you desire.

Sounds like you label yourself as week and unhealthy thinking. Soooooo ADVICE ... challenge that as being "correct for the moment" and "maladaptive". It's still adaptation. And you've got a long life ahead of you to update your Stimulus > Response chain brain.

ADVICE: Look for healthy activities which support your mood - for me it's simple daily exercise - and look for thought-patterns that help "tank" you, with the aim of recognizing them when they pop up again. Counselor can help you recognize, "Oh that was a boost for me, I'll think about how to incorporate more of that into my routine."

ADVICE: Give therapy SIX MONTHS to show signs. AND tell the counselor the Criticism that you tell us, here, EVERY SESSION in some little or big way, for that six months, until it changes. The counselors can be there to guide YOUR thinking and action, not to do the living FOR YOU.

STORY A reason they could be saying "do things you like", is because you don't appear to do things you Truly like, from their perspective. Typically with children of Narcissists, the child's emotional needs are neglected. Sooooooooo you might be underdeveloped in a few ways around self-fulfillment. Google "CEN neglect narcissist". Accomplishments aside, what makes you happy, and what do you want?

I agree SecureDrop is complex (in fact I mentioned that in another comment). It's way more complex than sending a file with Signal or other modern privacy apps, but at least all parts are private and secure (as far as we know) so it's up to the user to not make mistakes.
With Signal we know that Signal itself may be compelled to provide information about its users and I think that's why they wouldn't recommend their application for such use cases.
> In some cases, it is too fast. When I installed K3s, all of the containers in the kube-system namespace kept entering the dreaded CrashLoopBackOff state (something I’ve never seen before outside a production container). After some investigation, I found out that the Mac Studio was just too fast for the Kubernetes resource timing, and I had to add resource limits to each pod to remedy the situation.

You should consider to submit a bug report to k8s project.

I find myself having to convert a lot of unix timestamps to a human readable format, but most of the online calculators I found don't include the micro or nanoseconds in the human readable output.

I'm learning frontend development, so I made this converter to hopefully make it easier to convert timestamps. Welcome to any feedback :)
Having had worked in DC much of my career, more specifically within the IC, I think more likely they believe in a general utilitarian philosophy that “the ends justify the means”.

It is a common Western world view to begin with, but my personal observation is it is especially common in the grayer professions of the world.

Took me personally reaching a point in life and asking the big question “do they really?” or in my case, “doesn’t it matter how you get to those ends, too?” before my own worldview/choice of profession began to shift.
Almost every assembly worker at our factory own the latest iPhones. They are paid over $20/hr.

That’s highly specific which is good, and a provides a financial incentive if you blow the whistle, it doesn’t create a “whistleblowing market” that I think the original commenter’s idea does. I’m skeptical of any law that defines itself in generalities and motivates a “report on your neighbors, company, etc… behavior by creating a financial incentive to do it. That is a law that would be ripe for abuse.
The developer experience is great, though its approach is much different from TKinter. The documentation is excellent, there aren't maddening incomplete corners like GTK, the results look good (if you think Qt looks good), and it's simple and straightforward. The main downside is that sometimes your code looks more like Qt and less like Python.
Annoying, for sure, but short of them having a your signature acknowledging responsibility for the cost, it should be straightforward to shut down the debt collector's efforts.
