I've had a failed marriage and hit rock bottom all at once (including 5 years in prison, kids not talking to me, etc). For the relationship part, if you had a tight friends group, they would just keep you busy until the pain turned numb. We don't have that community always and have to keep ourselves busy.

It sucks waking up to an empty home. I went from making my kids breakfast/packing lunches every morning, getting daily hugs and 'I love you dads' to this huge soul crushing void. It sucks.

Before sentenced to prison so still out in the world, but after losing wife/family/career/home I kept busy with podcasts, audiobooks, comedy records always going to fill the 'friends keeping you busy' part. Now's not the best time to spend a lot of one on one time with your inner voice, he's a smart dude but not always our personal biggest champion/hype man :)

I forced myself to maintain normal sleep patterns. If I wanted to sleep by 10 and couldn't, I either exercised more or went to bed earlier and earlier. Forced myself to maintain a healthy diet. Forced myself to exercise regularly and consistently. Those are a must. Get up the same time every day, go to sleep the same time. Plan and eat healthy meals. Have easy emergency healthy meals for when you are too depressed to cook. Have an exercise routine and if you can't sleep, up it. If you go to a gym, swim, it's such a different modality. For me I mountain biked. I mountain biked a lot. When I felt like I was going to crumble (divorce lawyer dates, court dates, realtor selling the house date, hyping myself to make my weekly phone call to each of my kids knowing that they weren't going to answer but that I still needed to keep calling) I got on that bike and road until I didn't have the energy to be anxious. But I didn't ride risky, didn't seek adrenalin because the last thing you need is to get hurt. Hmmm, looking back I also did a lot of white water rafting. Again your brain has to break it's unhealthy constant negative focuses and just focus on getting past the current rocks in front of you.

So routine, intentional (and proactive) self care, with healthy distractions to break the unhealthy focus on your current situation and giving yourself space.

You'll get through this I promise. You will be surprised in life to find out just what you can and cannot get through. Keep your head up! It's not just you, what you are going through while unique and incredibly painful to you and worth being given the weight it deserves as one of the hardest things you will go through is also something you share with the rest of us afflicted with 'the human condition'.
Yeah, I think the effect they are talking about is like getting attached to a fictional character in a novel. Writing good fiction is a different sort of achievement.

It's sort of related since doing well at a Turing test would require generating a convincing fictional character, but there's more to playing well than that.
no i didn't. but i never had good handwriting. and once i got out of school i was working with computers all day, so somehow it must have gotten worse since then. i think the main problem is some kind of impatience getting something written down, which i guess i developed after getting used to writing on a computer. in other words i am simply out of practice
That answer is for a pure GPL library, not dual licensed.

As the quoted part says: the project as a whole (which includes the library itself) need to be GPL, but part of it can be MIT. So the code of the program on GitHub can be MIT.
> Lastly, do you have any affiliation to the projects mentioned?

I would take a guess at yes, he mentions "xx messenger" A LOT.
HN being very anti Java, why does such many Java articles make it to the front page?
We use AWS Fargate with a small ec2 box orchestrating the jobs.

The energy of the Tunguska event is estimated at around 60,000,000,000 megajoules. Assuming no transmission losses whatsoever, this can only mean that Tesla built the world's first nuclear power plant and that it still dwarfs the output of all modern nuclear power plants today -- combined! He was truly a remarkable inventor.
The first example is a syntax error, which must be fixed, and takes a second. Not a PITA, just a part of normal day to day refactoring.

I see how a formatter could help you out in this specific situation. However you are trading typing of redundant characters every few seconds and readability per minute, to avoid an issue that happens once or twice a day, per week on a mature project.

In other words we generally don’t significantly reorganize code nearly as much as reading, tweaking, adding features etc.

Readability is definitely a strength of Python, not a weakness. A lot of this is because of reduction of required notation.
Now here's a quality debate re: "should we rewrite everything in Rust?" (I lost it after "listen here you cunt")

---

A: "Fuck no. We don't need to spend time rewriting everything and risking bugs. We should focus on optimizing and improving the current codebase for better performance."

B: "Bullshit. Rust provides more safety guarantees and enables parallelism. Plus, the upfront cost of a rewrite pays off in the long run with better performance and maintainability."

A: "Rust may provide guarantees, but the cost of a rewrite outweighs any potential benefits. Improving current codebase allows us to focus on the most important issues and improve performance without introducing unnecessary risk."

B: "Fuck your short-sightedness. The cost of maintaining and scaling an outdated codebase far outweighs any risk of a rewrite. Rust's guarantees reduce potential bugs and improve maintainability. Plus, parallelism increases performance without sacrificing safety."

A: "Listen here you cunt, a rewrite in Rust might seem like a good idea on paper, but practicality is another story. A rewrite is risky, time-consuming, and could introduce new bugs. We should focus on optimizing current code and gradually implementing Rust where it makes sense. It's about long-term stability, not just jumping on the latest trend."

B: "Fuck your gradual bullshit. Updating incrementally is inefficient and increases the risk of bugs. Rust's safety features provide better performance and stability in the long run. A rewrite is necessary for the future of our codebase."

If you stopped people from posting about their amazing new project that replicates standard functionality from classic unix tools we'd have very little left.
I reckon this is Meta finally getting it in their heads that mass adoption is only gonna happen if the device is cheap enough.

John Carmack was very vocal about that when he was still involved with Meta.

I’d bet Meta’s best chance of winning here would be to build a great software and games ecosystem and sell the devices at a loss, just like game consoles.
To my understanding the current law of the land as affirmed by the supreme court many times over the last 150 years is you can not be compelled to be treated for an infectious disease but you absolutely can be isolated against your will if you are a danger to others, as well as other sanctions like fines.
Seems like an unpopular take, but I agree with this sentiment

The most I can imagine coming out of this is that those "app creator" apps/websites will actually work. So you can get a reasonably functional app without necessarily being a software engineer. A current-day software engineer could end up with the capabilities of a pre-2023 VP of Engineering in charge of a 200 person department.

That doesn't mean there'll be no work, it just means the work will be different and possibly much more interesting
Selective memory loss.

The dawn of infinite power was heralded in with the annihilation of 2 cities in Japan, and the death of many innocents exposed to open radiation in the development process. The industrial revolution began with pollution that worsened the lifespan on the 'winners' for decades before we figured out how to make these spaces safer. Modern medicine started off with bloodletting & modern psychiatry started off with lobotomies.

The first few generations that adopt a revolutionary technology see their lives get worse before they get better.

Problem is, AI, Medicine & Automation are all likely to produce revolutions that are bigger and faster spreading than anything we've seen before. I do not wish to be a 'growing child' in an era of increasing adoption of this tech. Growing up with just the internet was confusing enough as is.

More than all of these, the scariest is a technology that I've started hearing whispers of. We might 'solve aging' in this century. I hope I get to die before the advent of perpetual life seems to be on the horizon.
Microsoft/Activision deal will win EU approval, sources say
I’m saving and investing like I only have 10 more years of work before AI takes my job.

Either I’ll be well prepared for unemployment or I’ll have plump investment accounts and still be employed. Good outcome regardless.
"we do what we must because we can"
From the inside it’s impossible to distinguish "not having dreams" from "not remembering one’s dreams". From the outside it’s almost certainly the latter. REM almost certainly equals dreaming, and the lack of REM is a rare condition and pretty bad news.
Lol, as I like to say, the biggest mistake that I have made in my life is to pick the wrong parents.
28 is super young. You really will have no trouble rebuilding yourself sentimentaly, don’t worry about that (you’ll never find the exact same love, just another one, because everybody is unique).

I haven’t done a phd but it’s pretty famous for being super hard emotionally, so this is probably « normal ». You’ll manage, just like everybody else do.

About feeling « empty » : find yourself a hobby. Since you’re the phd type, i would recommend something that makes your other parts of your brain work : artistic, and manual. Could be working with plants, joining a band, join a woodworking group, anything. It’ll give you instant gratification and draing you physically enough to make you enjoy the simple things in life : a fresh cup of water and a good night of sleep. Plus, it’ll help you rebuild a social network around a shared interest.
I believe this is about the same amount of energy used to run Bitcoin for a mere half hour (as of August 2021).
> He enjoys accumulating money

If a monkey at a zoo hoarded all the bananas such that all the other monkeys there were starving, scientists would be examining that money down to a brain dissection to see just what was wrong with it.

Meanwhile, in human societies we have people who hoard so much wealth that they impoverish entire nations, and we put them on the covers of Forbes and Times magazines, and laud them as “pillars of the community” and “shrewd people to look up to”.

These people are parasites. We need to eliminate them to return wealth to the true creators of value - the workers and labourers.

Profit is the delta (difference) between the wages workers receive, and the price that the products of their labour garners on the open market.

Ergo, all profits are stolen wages. Or stolen labour, it’s all the same shite, different pile. The sale price of those products defines how much that labour is worth, but it’s the Parasite Class which divert a massive chunk of that value from ever getting back to the worker. In some industries like fast-food, workers receive less than 3¢ for every dollar of value they produce. That other 97¢/$ trickles upwards through greedy and obscenely overpaid people until it gets to those which have done practically no work at all - the C-suite and shareholders.

Which Rust-written Python tools are folks using?

I know of two big ones: ruff (linting) and pyflow (dependency management). The standard lib crypto module uses rust, too.

Are there other ones I should know about? Maybe replacements for mypy, pre-commit, tox/nox?
Absolutely none of them had lockdowns. Some of them shut down various businesses and public spaces but aside from some curfews implemented in order to arrest BLM protesters no one was kept indoors.
I tried on macOS, yes dark mode works great now, thanks. But I needed to change all QFont('monospace', 10) occurrences to

QFont('Monaco', 12)

in order to make it look nice.
My only opinion on all this is I don’t trust any solution that does not acknowledge and address why we ended forced mental health carceral treatment in the first place. Chesterton’s Fence.

There was a “crisis” that caused that practice to end just as there is now a “crisis” bringing it back. If it’s brought back it should be done outside of this framework of panic.
How can one be sure everything is combusted and not just partially, spreading it all over the place
That's a ridiculous mischaracterisation of what he said and you know it.

He said some vaguely questionable thing about the definition of the word assault and people sought to interpret that in the absolute worst way possible.

He's a weirdo, and he says some stuff that clearly indicates there's some social stuff he just doesn't quite understand. Like the fact that "assault" or "rape" doesn't necessarily mean an outright violent physical assault.

I mean who the hell expects RMS to have a nuanced understanding of interpersonal relationships?
They can't exit VR, they've spent way too much of their political capital on in (not to mention actual capital).

My guess: the Quest 2 drop is because PSVR just came out and they want to be a clear winner on price, and the Quest Pro drop is because they've seen soft demand.

I don't know anyone who has a Pro, I know quite a few who got a 2 at the original price, and I'd probably have bought a 2 by now if it hadn't gone up in price.
It just got added in 2023, but there's now --auto-tune-dump which generates a command line invocation of powertop that would set all the auto-tune settings. Instead of running --auto-tune, you can make a script of this dump, modify it to your contentment, and run the script instead of auto-tune at startup. So you can omit your mouse!

Ideally there would also be a way to omit certain device or subsystem tunings from auto-tune as well.

Personally I think it'd be fun to mess around with more advanced schemes, where we dynamically alter powersaving behaviors based on user behavior. What we have now seems somewhat unresponsive. It'd be fun to dive into.

a shame that he is unfamiliar with RED. It's meaning is literally just system hardening as it is also defined in RED (CRA is just an expansion of RED to the rest of the ecosystem), which is in this contexts outgoing firewalls rules on devices, system hardening, anomaly detection, ... It is not a definitiv list of things because this would change based on what makes sense on a system. Instead you need to demonstrate that you've considered a threat model when applying the mitigation. And the mitigation is sufficient for the intended purpose.

One example could be limit what the system can and can't do. And don't allow it to communicate with the whole world when your only required endpoints are api.samsung.com, an ntp server, DNS and MQTT.

A shame that he had to write this hit-piece when he could have asked what notified bodies are testing _today_ to meetx requirements for RED.

To clarify... nope. In your instance the man gets your expression of consent, but very much does not have your internal consent.

I edited my post to clarify a bit more that informed consent is a specific term in medical ethics, and probably doesn't mean what you think it means. Thanks!

Throwing someone immediately into a sanitarium for having tuberculosis vs. throwing them in jail after 17 court visits because they wouldn’t stay away from other people is a massive difference.

Ignoring all details and focusing on just the end result as if that’s all that matters leads to foolish ignorance.

Furthermore, they didn’t order her to get medical treatment. They ordered her to stay away from potential victims if she didn’t get treated.
I don't think OP was trying to preempt concern that it's government overreach to order her to seek treatment or self-isolate: very few people would seriously argue that the government can't require someone with an active case of tuberculosis to stay out of the supermarket.

Jailing her is what could be interpreted by a reasonable person as overreach, and for that concern the amount of notice she was given is absolutely relevant.

> There needs to be a way to declare some people as being unfit to care for themselves.

There is in the law of each state; it varies from state to state. For obvious reasons, it's a pretty high bar to clear and usually requires an advocate for commitment to be dedicated to the cause to make sure that the involuntary commitment process goes all the way through to completion.

The previous discussion of this situation (link needed) had some discussion on typhoid Mary. That previous thread was actually where I learned about the story.
I think what they mean is exposing a frame with the stroboscope-and-shutter combination, not just shooting anything at a known light level.

So the same thing as here, but instead of shooting with the back open, doing it with film inside and back closed.
It would be prohibitively expensive to recapture it because the buildings meant to store whiskey for as cheap as possible while it ages. They're little more than sheds made of corrugated sheet metal.
Is this something you can actually measure? Or is it just an expensive and complicated source of warm fuzzies?

Option #3: a desperate move to drive adoption, potentially at the cost of their own profit margin.
Exactly this. All I am saying is that the video has the feel of being a deep fake. Too late to edit and clarify.
The vaccines have not been approved to this day. They are being used (and mandated) under an emergency authorization, because the testing has not been completed.

The UMMS article is full of half truths. It's a sales document, not a summary of the science (which is still highly ambiguous).

I remember him saying in an interview long ago that he wrote with a fountain pen.

I changed countries and career paths about 8 years ago, and for a while, over the next 3 roles, it involved large amounts of note-taking. Tens of pages of notes per day, every day, for weeks at a time.

I switched to using fountain pens too, and found it hugely increased what you call "handwriting endurance". I can write for an hour or more with a fountain pen, without pain or difficulty or cramping.

(I am in my mid-50s now, and this was in my late 40s. That means that part of the time at school we had to use fountain pens. So it was a switch back for me.)

With ballpoint pens, be they cheap and nasty or premium high-quality ones, you can press hard. This tires the hands and causes cramps.

You can't do that with a fountain pen. It damages the nib. You have to press lightly on the paper and that makes you write better. It also encourages good cursive letter forms, which evolved for a sharp nib on paper, which snags in certain directions, also less of a problem for ballpoints.

I mostly use Pilot V-Pen disposable fountain pens. They are exceptionally reliable, the whole barrel is full of ink so they last much longer than a cartridge or reservoir pen, and they don't leak even in a backpack that's treated roughly.

I recommend trying them. It's worth the effort. It works.

Ballpoints, however fancy, are only for scribbling quick notes. A proper pen results in better writing, and writing better.
> As far as I know, no one really knows why TB is not a major problem in the US

Could it be the mandatory vaccination programme? I even had to get a booster as condition for my greencard because it had been 10 years.
Certainly, Mendelian diseases are a case where gene editing is currently justifiable. In fact, researchers have already cured “bubble boy” syndrome in several kids so that they can get a normal cold and recover just like anyone else. Remarkable stuff.

I think you are misinterpreting the parent comment. The issue is not legal protection for doctors that administer state mandated treatments. She had the option in this case to self-isolate.

The issue is ethical, is it possible for a patient to give consent if it's given under threat (of incarceration or otherwise). I think medical consent as a concept has been weakened in the west this past decade, the first obvious example is Covid with people having to get vaccinated to have access to certain services and to keep their employment in some cases, the second example that struck me at the time are opt-out systems for organ donations.
The logic you used, if I may summarize: "There's lots of accidents, some of them have been ignored for decades, why care about this one?"

Frankly because it's high time people cared about what's happening to their environment and cities. Norfolk Southern is banking on the fact that rural areas and places like Oakland won't get national attention because they don't carry a lot of homogeneous national favor. Most of these derailments happen in rural areas that are cash strapped, just like the city of Oakland. Places that will be dependent on the company to come out and clean up their mess. Places that won't have funds unless aided by the EPA to check that the company actually cleaned up, and thoroughly. Places that don't have the national umph to make the NTSB to force the railroads into safer behavior.

What you've failed to see here is that the Venn diagram of disasters that happen and get ignored in Oakland are a circle with places like Ohio. We all lose if a company can ignore devastating parts of Oakland or Ohio.
In South Africa, where it's sadly still really common (especially "eXtensively Drug-Resistant" TB), people sell their treatment to drug dealers (who cook it into a recreational drug).

I have never understood why, and I still don't understand people's behavior during the pandemic.
