Ask HN: How did you rebuild yourself after having hit rock bottom?
I [28M] got broken up with by my partner of almost 4 years a couple weeks ago. I thought she was the love of my life and I would marry that woman. I'm also in the last year of my PhD in a sub-field I have never envisioned myself in and somehow slipped into due to Covid and my own passiveness and weak sense of self. The PhD is also not going super well and I'm stressed about not having enough research to finish in time. I also grew up in a dysfunctional family environment (toxic parent relationship, some narcissistic/borderline traits in them) and have been struggling with the consequences of that on my development and mental health. I also don't have a large social circle, and some of my friends are scattered internationally.

As you can see, I feel like I've hit rock bottom. On the outside I look all successful, in shape and doing a PhD in a prestigious research group. 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.

I've read tons of psychology/philosophy/self-help over the past 10 years and it helped to some extent. I've also started therapy 2 months ago, but it's going slow and it hasn't been very useful yet. The advice so far has boiled down to "do things you like".

I would be grateful for any of your advice or shared life stories. At the moment I feel like standing in front of a massive pile of broken glass.
Define good? An AMD Ryzen 7 6900HS has similar single-core performance, much better multi-core performance for slightly worse power efficiency, compared to an M2. Add in the added advantage of flexibility (you can buy different hardware and switch it up like add RAM and disk and GPUs to your liking) and the fact you can run more things on it (e.g. game), and it's pretty "good". Is it better than an M2? Depends on what you're looking for.
The metafilter comments seem to blanket-approve edits. No room left to discuss the edits themselves.

Consider the Magic Faraway Tree edits. The children no longer go on adventures without adult supervision. Never mind that venturing out and exploring is a fundamental curiosity for children - it's inherently risky and potentially dangerous, and that's the point.

Other edits include new characters and lands introduced. Lessons on gender quality in response to someone asking for help with chores.

It's creative contamination. Heavy-handed tonal modification of the story, disrespects the author efforts to create a specific atmosphere and world, and have that maintained for the life of the art work.

Clean Architecture with FastAPI
At least a tag for programming-related topics. I am very rarely interested in non-CS topics here, as the quality of discussion is much lower, in my opinion.
Seems interesting especially for the gaming industry, but it seems like it'd be exceptionally difficult to handle the edgecases in the real world; for instance multiple pairs of eyeballs staring at the screen.

This, alongside various privacy concerns of eyeball tracking, will likely nip this technology in the bud.
The latency makes it feel wobbly.
Being blunt, it sounds to me like you're using wildly inaccurate personality stereotypes to generalise horribly about both software engineers and artists. A software dev who is inclined to believe they have all the answers is a bad software dev. And the idea that artists all need to be intuitive, and flexible is, based on my experience of many artists, laughable.

Try finding a broader range of developers and artists to spend time around. Your world view may expand.

Containers vs. Pods – Taking a Deeper Look (2021)
Except something does feel off about this story.
No, not really. A bad comparison. A programmer building software, commercially or not, will have a positive impact on something (product, customer, technology, ideas). Any negative impact coming from an enthusiastic programmer, in form of bugs causing outages or general errors in programme output will be unintentional. We rightfully call those programmers who intentionally cause damage in order to generate economic gains for themselves or their clients, a small group of people, cyber-criminals. We prosecute them, put them into jails, as is right. After serving enough time and provided they genuinely repent, we might let them integrate back into the society, like we did let Kevin Mitnick. Now people like WB who similarly use their competencies to intentionally cause economic damage to the society, in order to gain "value" for themselves and their clients, a small group of people, what should we call them and how should we treat them? What do you think?
I was in the first cohort of the first digital imaging and technology program in Canada, almost 20 years ago. Our final year "Salon de Paris"[1] the short that won was a young child playing in a puddle in front of an anti-abortion protest, it was great, thought provoking, and really well timed... we thought. After it was announced as winning, we found out that the creator had gone out and shot the protest, and then the next week gone out and shot a toddler playing then digitally combined them. There was an outcry from my peers who thought it was deceptive, but our dean said:

"The most creative people simply to the best job of hiding the source of their creativity".

AI or not, they're good images, "deception" in art has been going on since forever.

Why not use a tensorflowjs pose estimation model? They mention MediaPipe Iris but didn't find any tensorflowjs model??

If I extend your argument to its absurd conclusion, you also get to decide if somebody is “allowed” to love somebody with the same number of chromosomes as themselves, or live in society presenting as somebody with a different number of chromosones. Do you also get to decide if it’s “dodgy” to love somebody of a differing skin pigmentation?

Think about what you’re arguing, and you’ll realise you’re arguing a different point to me.

We quite rightly legislate against intimate relationships with underage persons to protect vulnerable people, not to tell adults what is morally acceptable. Can you see the difference and understand it?
I’ve been paid $50 multiple times by companies doing this kind of research to do video calls.
You didn’t buy a book. You bought a license for the content that can be revoked at any time. You also licensed the ebook provider to remove or alter the content as they see fit.

Don’t want changing books? Pirate your ebook or buy a paper book.
This is really interesting, thank you.

I am interested in a Lisp language called Parlanse,

http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Parlanse/examples.html

It has built in parallelisation.

I find LISP is really useful as an AST but I am not familiar enough with LISP to read it fluently as well as C or Python.
I do whatever is needed tbh. Primarily sysadmin and PHP/WordPress dev right now but I'll jump on calls, tech sales, documentation, set up and OOH a monitoring system, assist with billing guff.. data entry if there's nothing else to do. What do you need doing is a better question. If I can do it remote I'll figure it out on the fly. Worst case you show me how and I'll repeat your steps until it clicks and then I'll optimise the process.

The one positive of ADHD so far is being able to quickly pick up a new skill. I love working for small agencies as they've got the most empty hats and the most fires that need fighting, loads of dopamine (the only resource worth chasing) in quick learning. It's also how I know unfocusing the beam gets you nowhere.

Back when GDPR became a thing I printed the law off on a Friday and was advising law firms on how their site needed to change to be compliant the Monday. Have yet to be sued so I'm still pretty confident I got it right :)

Not to brag (seriously, I have nothing worth bragging about) but everyone I've worked with eventually calls me a genius. Genius lmao, bro I'm just bored. I can't accept that when I'm in debt anyway, geniuses can pass leetcode and get paid at the FAANGs. I'm also aware that people say things like that so you stick around longer.

Besides which, learning quickly is just understanding the 4 stages of competence and skipping the first one. It's not magic, just know you're shit until proven otherwise.

I already know the patio11 advice. I'm earning double my most well paid friend as it is. 30/h is already lottery win level of pay in my circles. I don't have wiggle room for "probably" yet. I only started freelance in sept and that's because a fixed salary wasn't breaking even anymore. Needed to be able to do more effort = more cash. If that probably turns into a cheapass that doesn't pay then I'm eating potatoes for a month.

I'm already minmaxing everything to the point of reminding the bank that their calls are costing me 50p a minute when they get distracted. I don't want to be a jerk but they're wanting me to rattle off my budget each month for no reason. I wish they'd give me forms to fill in, doing things over the phone is so excruciatingly slow. They (every one of them) call you asking if they can help every month if you're in persistent debt too.. is it not obvious to banks that they're not actually able to help? I talk to some of them more often than family! I know they're just covering themselves legally in reality, I'm familiar with the illusion of help haha.

To be honest I've played myself anyway really. Turns out if you work fast you get paid less freelancing lmao

In any case I'm only doing freelance until I can launch my own business. Working for someone else is for chumps like me.

I know whenever I rattle on about myself people either don't believe me or confirm that I ain't shit, I already know the latter and I can prove every claim otherwise. I can barely keep up with the truth so I try not to lie.

Considering modern AWS hardware relies heavily on Nitro, their dedicated chips offloading networking and storage, it's unlikely Graviton CPUs would easily work outside of AWS' environment.

OK, I think I agree with you: We don't know if ASD or any of our current diagnoses are a particularly good model, but it is possible to cluster people and some people are farther from whatever group of clusters collectively contains the majority or strong plurality.
"Lower latency" usually means lower peak, not average. E.g. <5 99% of the time and 25 1% of the time is "high" but much better for desktops than <15 100% of the time (made up numbers). So you usually avoid low latency or real time kernels unless you need the <15 guarantee.
ill take 100mcg mk7 + i eat mild kimchi once a day which is also a source. as for timing i just take after my meal. i eat one meal a day or two meals a day (and zero snacks), but my timing of those meals always varies a lot but it's always after ive had my fats and proteins during my meal.

i am (was?) someone who gets plaque build up in their teeth quickly if i dont brush morning and night every day. once i started k2 that completely stopped. i was shocked at the difference. of course i stil brush in morning and after my last meal but the feeling in my teeth of plaque building up just vanished with daily k2.

i use the now foods brand, its not expensive and I think its made from commercially grown natto. you should not have to pay more than around $10-15 for one month supply.

this cardiologist has a nice short lecture on k2 that really opened my eyes to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3njgh2nFRk - he recommmends 200mcg per day
I asked if we should put people in jail for reproduction, as children do not give any consent to being born, will suffer in life and die in the end. Both debaters started patting their backs that reproduction is not unethical but something should be done with people who neglect their child.
I think the whole thing is based on miscommunication. iPhones are a status symbol and also they deliberately make them incompatible so it is a logistical issue for someone in a group to have an Android phone. They probably are not exactly bullying him, it's just that they are treating him as lower status and not fitting in because he has the wrong phone.

He used the word "bully" to try to help you understand that this was a significant social issue for him. Having the non-Apple phone signals less wealth, lower social status, makes him unavailable for significant communication channels.

I personally have never owned an Apple product. Mostly because they seem like a waste of money and aren't developer friendly. Luckily I have no friends anyway and am not a kid in school so it doesn't matter.
10,000-foot geezer's perspective:

Before the Great War (WWI), Great Britain was rich, Great Britain completely dominated the financial world, Great Britain's Pound Sterling was the world's reserve currency ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserve_currency ), and the Pound Sterling was no more decimal than Her Royal Majesty Queen Victoria was Japanese.

When you are the 900 pound gorilla, not only can you get away with all sorts of unique complexity - mites, farthings, groats, shillings, florins, crowns, pounds, guineas, etc. - but being quite conversant with your complexity is a point of pride for many foreigners, who wish to be seen as educated and sophisticated.

WWI might reasonably be described as a "no matter how hard it is, no matter how long it takes" suicide pact by Europe's greatest nations and nobles, to destroy their own positions and prestige in the world. They were quite successful in that.

Great Britain's post-WWI economic policy might be described as "keep saying 'Great', but don't think nor try too hard". Combine that with interest payments on their huge war debts, and the writing was on the wall.

Then came WWII. Before the U.S.A. stepped in to pay for things, national bankruptcy was at least as much a threat to "Great" Britain as the Nazi armies were. More than a year before that war ended, on 22 July 1944, Britain formally signed the Bretton Woods Agreement ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bretton_Woods_System ) - which explicitly made the U.S. Dollar the world's reserve currency.

Post-WWII, "Great"-no-longer Britain's economic situation was grim. Rationing of food, for the general population, did not end until 4 July 1954.

Still, the funny old Pound Sterling currency system hung on. I mostly credit human memory. Brits born in 1895 would have adult memories of pre-WWI British Greatness, yet be only 70 years old in 1965.

Finally, 15 February 1971 was Decimal Day - when the cool old farthing/groat/shilling/etc. British Pound was converted to the dull, conformist "100 pence to the pound" modern system.
Exactly. If we're calling conquistadores and condottieri "heroes", might as well call the same for Barbary Corsairs and Indian thuggees.
Yeah that's the issue with Soft-ware. It can change very easy like a doppelganger. Good luck.
I’m not sure why you’re trying to convince me it can’t work like the documentation says it does. Is the documentation wrong?
Ubuntu has been including quadrapassel in their installer discs for a long time, I love playing Tetris instead of watching their lame slideshow.
maybe he included "a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens" in the prompt. then he still used ""a Nikon D810 with 24-70mm lens"" to create them.
Why are you against free speech?
If, in an alternative universe, we had no cameras, there would be a lot more painters for portraits, news pieces, books, travel guides, etc. A notable wedding or a summit would have 5-10 artists capturing key moments. So yes, cameras did replace painters in the same way cars replaced horses. Not a total elimination, but close by comparison to what would be.
Interesting that you mention the European system in a positive light, since I didn't have that perception before moving here. But now that I am in France I see it. Doctolib is amazing. I used to have One Medical and it was nice although I didn't use it to its full potential. But Doctolib, by dent of being adopted by virtually every doctor and facility here, is on another level.

Or lie to you? VR storefront eh? Bet the product will look a lot better than it actually does in real life.
What harm to society was caused? Can you quantify it, or is it just a feeling?
It doesn't need to be a predator, it can also be food. We certainly have food shortages and mass starvations. We've gotten a lot better at producing food, but it's not a solved problem at all, we've just moved the limit.
Cameras replaced some painters and changed the reality for others. Change will of course continue for everyone.
What they have done is stupid and bad. But reducing it to "money or ideology" is a false dichotomy, there are other reasons that may have motivated their stupid choice, and it is probably a mix of all those.

If it is ideology, how do you explain that they changed a reference of Conrad to Austen?
A third option is that they acted clumsily in good faith by trying to keep the book up-to-date with the new generation. The fact that some people are offended and want so much believe into a culture war move tells more about these persons than the publishers.
> I don’t understand Americans POV on this subject.

Long-term, the American style meritocratic striving is probably unsustainable and harmful in innumerable ways. But it is _rational_ at least in terms of the choices parents make. Numerous metrics point to increasing economic disparities; the rungs on the ladder keep getting farther and farther apart. How can I as a parent best position my child to negotiate that climb? Parents, who as a rule worry about such things on behalf of their children respond by taking various interventions on behalf of their kids. One is spending money to buy merit, however distorted the concept is in the U.S.

An expensive education doesn’t guarantee a good job? True. But if they have the means, it’s reasonable to anticipate that parents are going to play the probabilities. The problems that arise for parents, their driven kids and the broader society are significant; and I would prefer the circumstances to be otherwise; but that’s going to take an enormous cultural change in the U.S. One that’s more systemic than that of parents choosing to send their kids to less costly universities.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 and it's a great phone.. time to find your son a better school or group of friends.. better yet, teach him to leave the phone at home when he's out and about and "see the world" without having to "see it through a phone screen".. let your son know this phone at most will be a device of convenience for a couple of years.. it does not define him..

Any proper mix engineer will do exactly this. They will mix on studio monitors but also shitty laptop speakers, bookshelf speakers, mono Bluetooth speakers etc. You have to design for the medium, and most people have shitty displays. Might look great on a retina screen and have no contrast at all on a $50 LG.
Sorry, all books must be available in perpetuity in exact original form. If edits are required, a permission slip must be filed with the appropriate bureau, and a letter sent to each ebook purchaser informing them of intent to publish a typographical error correction. Upon unanimous consent from all ebook purchasers, only then may a new version of the book be made available with a large disclaimer that the new copy of the book has changes.

Or that’s what most people in this thread would probably want.
> Using MacOS on it feels like I have a ferrari with square wheels.

Indeed macOS is the weakest part when working on Apple Silicon.

Sure it’s quite pretty but it stumbles over itself with terrible quality of life features. macOS looks modern but feels around ten years behind other desktops now.

Apple love to talk about how professionals and power users can get so much work done with the amazing Apple Silicon but ignore the fact window management is garbage. The UI still frequently stutters/judders when just resizing a window. There is no true virtual desktop management. Etc.

I do love macOS but Windows and Linux desktop environments are evolving much faster with excellent quality of life and productivity improvements that macOS badly needs but Apple ignore or worse over engineer other “solutions” such as Stage Manager.

Honestly who at Apple signed off on Stage Manager before basic window snapping?!

Does nobody at Apple have an ultrawide monitor? macOS is painful to work with on anything not 16:9 (or :10).

I think VPNs can work great as you say but I don't think that is universal. It is very easy for them to become a bottleneck. And performance and stability issues are not always obvious to the end user so get ignored. Obviously these issues can be resolved but there is always a limit on time and resources.
I like the idea behind trackpoint, but I just can't get used to it. Any tips?
Or do buy ebooks for stuff that you’re ok losing and the convenience is worth the extra cost over a cheap paperback copy. Buy physical books for stuff that you care about changing.

Ask HN: How do you get over programming language/framework biases?
I think it's safe to say that almost everybody has their favorite programming language or framework that they enjoy. Sometimes though, these biases can stop us from working with passion/happy mood with other tools.

How do you get over these biases that stop you from enjoying your work?
Stating Epstein rape victim was 'Entirely Willing' is horrible and disgusting. Calling it a ‘smear campaign’ is dishonest.
