Thanks for your story, sounds quite relatable! I am planning to finish the PhD and put everything in the next 12 months and then probably move countries or even continents. Glad to hear you made it.
Some toxicity is created by the moderators themselves. When they're too aggressive with the banning of people whose opinion they don't agree with, instead of dialoguing, it's a perma-ban immediately. All this does is help crystallize one's position on an issue or topic.

Reddit the site lends itself to this sort of toxicity because there is no real process to control or moderate moderators, only if there are legal concerns or if the corporation wants the sub for themselves. A good example here is this story about the alt-right mods on /r/canada https://ricochet.media/en/2385/canadas-largest-subreddit-acc...

So no, it's not always the users that are toxic. Mods do their part in curating a toxicity environment, and so does the corporation by enabling them.

Are users allowed to hold an election on who are the mods in a sub? No. So congrats userbase, problematic mods for life, and if someone doesn't like it, Reddit shrugs and says go use some other sub.

I usually dream when I have slept really well for a few days. At least for me when my mind is tired I fall into dreamless sleep in a few seconds, instead of several minutes with a soft transition to dreaming.

> just how lowly most of society thinks of the Daily mail.

This is really just a perfect example of how society splinters on certain lines.

I give my mother endless shit for reading the daily mail, it is a pre-clickbait indignation generation machine and the website is probably worse.

However, "most of society" does not ring true to me. I am the outlier not the default.
Thanks. I think I prefer the Standord encyclopedia of philosophy (SEoP) to ChatGPT and youtube.

For the record, my background is in mathematical logic (first order predicate calculus and all that) but from a computer science, rather than philosophical point of view, so I find the SEoP accessible. I just don't have any background in moral philosophy (except of course that I'm Greek and so grew up with the classics, because you can't avoid that).
I would guess that 95% of the people I know exceed the speed limit 80+% of the time they drive. In fact, just suggesting that it is ok to drive the speed limit in the left lane of a U.S. freeway would draw near universal condemnation.

Imagine an individual who actually obeys the speed limit 99% of the time, exceeding it only by mistake. Imagine they are late to a once in a lifetime event. I think it almost impossible for the average do-gooder to contemplate the mental struggle of whether it is ok to--just this once--go 3 or 4 mph over the speed limit. Normal people wouldn't even hesitate.

Now imagine you are a concientious LEO driving a marked vehicle. There is practically no speed at which you will be punished. Every normal person is doing 5-10 over the limit. Some tap their brakes when they see you. But you can do 20 over the limit and never tap your brakes even when you see another police car. In fact, you rationalize, you all by yourself will impede traffic if you don't drive at least 10 over.

How do you not develop a sense of exceptionalism? Even if you are a good person? And, of course, how do you presume to pull another cop over and give them a ticket?

Now extend that beyond speed limits into every aspect of law enforcement. Is it reasonable to expect 80% compliance of the very best officers? No? So why should it surprise anybody to get <50% compliance from 15% of officers? Especially when you get <50% compliance from 80+% of non-officers.

The by-the-book officer is great for a comic movie. We all cheer for them in the theater. But on the street in real life they are intolerable to 99.9% of the public. Happily we all cut each other some slack. I think 1-5% percent is naive, or doesn't include the 10-20% grace we automatcally ignore by necessity in life.
To elaborate on “12bit bytes also work great for encoding RGB values for video”:

I just mean that it’s easy to encode an RGB value as three four-bit values in a 12-bit number. Aligning ‘memory addresses’ to ‘pixels’ would simplify video hardware. Historically, 4096-color modes based on 12-bits-per-pixel were used (notably on the Amiga), in spite of byte-alignment issues. And of course 24-bit pixels would map to the common 16m colors we all know and love. 8, 16 and 32 bit architectures have always had compromises of one sort or another for storing three color channels - I half feel like the ubiquity of ARGB in modern graphics is down to our finally accepting that storage and memory are now cheap enough we should stop worrying about waste, pad out pixels with another channel, and just find a use for it. Transparency? Sure, why not.

Regarding how RAM is laid out… a lot of early computers used ram chips striped by bit - so they’d have eight ram chips all wired to the same address bus, with each responsible for storing one data line for each address. Twelve bit memory is just laying four more data lines and adding four more chips.

In my hypothetical counterfactual universe, obviously if 12 bit bytes win, later memory architectures are built around 12/24/48/96 bit data buses, so whatever paging and slicing they do would be within that model.
AFAICT he's arguing that the Many world's interpretation should be renamed to the "Everything-Is-A-Quantum-Wave" interpretation. I've heard people suggest "Universal wave function" interpretation, which IMO is better than either.
Something I've noticed over time about libertarian ideology is that it lacks a comprehensive theory of power - it asserts that governments have power, and that power is coercive, and coercion is wrong, but has a massive blind spot to the fact that Cigna also has power and uses that power to coerce, and would do so whether or not there was a government. It's shockingly utopian in that way.
Yeah, I made a mistake: I thought the T in DTaP was tuberculosis, but it's tetanus.
This makes sense to me based on my reading of how things have fared since 1917.
>It's rare to need kilometres in engineering

Yeah, the thing with imperial units and engineering is that once you get anywhere near mass, weight, force, energy, and all the related units for same, it can get very confusing and error prone. So are we talking pounds-mass, pounds-force, or slugs? (The latter being something that probably no one who didn't take engineering/physics/etc. classes has ever heard of.)
So, you’ve never tried it and hate it. Gotcha.

Oh, and it’s also not viable because of your own preferences in games (nevermind that there are non fpv games)?

Did I miss anything?

EDIT: Personally, I love it. It is definitely an experience you have to try, imo, before you’re able to judge it. Beat Sabre, Alyx, Moss… they just scratch the surface of what can be done.
Show HN: HN Hiring Data Playground
Hi HN!

Yesterday I saw a graph[0] that showed the # of job postings on HN was declining. I started wondering what other trends I could glean from the data, so I created this!

You can filter through the top level comments by keyword; for example you can filter by "remote" to see the massive spike around March 2020. Another interesting thing I found is that I can compare hiring across cities.

I hope you enjoy! I made it so that the links to your search are sharable so if you have some interesting data you should be able to just link the page you're on!

> Don't invade other countries and you won't have to deal with such issues.

Crimeans voted to be annexed to Russia. Are we not supporting their right to self-determination? Let me guess, this is different?

Also, when you talk about not invading other countries do you not realize the irony of that when we have invaded more countries in the last 50 years than the rest of the world combined?
Why would anyone want to take this forward? It’s not a given the meta verse (whatever it was) is a thing people actually want. Mark could be excused for investing in a new platform as a long term hedge for FB - however we’re now seeing heavy competition from things that look nothing like the meta verse.
One of the jobs of government is, in fact, to protect innocent people from the bad behavior of others. The government shouldn't force her to get treated, but the government can protect others from exposure to potentially lethal and costly disease because of her violation of public health directives.

This is not overreach, it's the exact right touch to restrict harm to the other individuals in the community.
It really is awful isn't it. Why anyone thought a second dock on the side of the screen would make multitasking easier I have no idea. I think they did it just to be different.

I believe the reason they don't bring window snapping and better overall window management to macOS is because it is something Windows and every Linux DE does and has done for years so they will be seen as copying and being "late".

One of the good things about the changes in Windows 11 is the new snap assistant that pops out at the top of the screen when you move a window. It's simple and clear how to use it and makes sense visible only when appropriate.
Nope. Authorized for emergency use only. Using the word "approved" is an error:

Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is a monovalent COVID-19 vaccine that is authorized for emergency use to prevent COVID-19 as:

The first two doses of the three-dose primary series for children 6 months through 4 years of age.

A two-dose primary series for individuals 5 years of age and older.

A third primary series dose for individuals 5 years of age and older who have been determined to have certain kinds of immunocompromise.
An expression you author executes on your machine. It’s not wholly unreasonable to use eval().

13years, your posted page seems to request Digital Rights Management plugins... Is the inclusion of that necessary? I am not sure of how much privacy and DRM can be consistent.
>> When I start a program in a shell, I expect it to inherit the environment of that shell.

> That's exactly how tmux works. You start a server, it inherits the environment of the current shell. You create a new session in that server, it inherits the environment of the server.

Whether that makes sense depends on if your mental model has starting a server and connecting to a server to create a new shell as distinct actions, as opposed to a singular action of connecting to a conceptually always-present persistent environment and starting a shell there. Admittedly tmux’s interface is mostly organized along the former lines, but given I prefer `tmux new -A`, my own model seems to follow the latter.
Also, lots of neoliberal and other broadly pro-corporate-capitalist viewpoints outside of the Austrian/Chicago camp; unrestrained corporate monopoly is only seen as not a problem in a very small slice of the economic ideological space.

If there's a seemingly "free region" that everyone knows about and deflects to, you can be 100% sure that the state knows about it, knows everyone who "deflected" there, and keeps tabs on everyone.

A smart authoritarian government will have these "free" zones as a pressure release valve:

- Most active dissidents jailed

- Active dissidents allowed to flee the country

- Somewhat active ones allowed to "flee the regime to the free-thinking zones far from government control"

Good question! I’m against mandatory medical treatment. But I’m also pragmatic and recognize that having a belief doesn’t mean that belief must be enforced at all costs.

Any predicament that boils down to “one of these parties’ freedoms needs to be impinged” demands flexibility of values. The world isn’t perfect like that.

If she refuses to cooperate and find a compromise (like staying away from people if she continues to be a risk to their lives), then regrettably, the least evil option is probably mandatory treatment. But I’m truly eager to find an alternative. Any alternative. As long as it isn’t “just let her hurt people.”

P.S. I appreciate this discussion. Please don’t think I’m coming after you— just the argument.
It seems strange to me that a language that proudly proclaims there is one way to do it seems to embrace TIMTOWTDI at the edges.

> This is not free market, but a captured regulated market

Agreed that market capture is a problem, but regulation is absolutely necessary for a free market to function well; these two things are not antonyms.

Regulation is needed to set up the rules of the game: everyone conforms to these rules, and if anyone breaks the rules, here are the consequences. Above this, companies can and should determine their own higher standards (e.g. you looking for honest insurance inspectors).

When something goes wrong, one of a few things is possible. Maybe the regulation was too lax, and risky even when followed. Maybe a company wasn't following the existing rules. Maybe the rules allow for small amounts of risk, and this is one of those accepted incidents.

In this case, it seems clear that the impact was not small, and can't/shouldn't have been an acceptable outcome. As such, one of two things should happen:

* Rules should change to mitigate the chances of other similar events.
* The rules were sufficient but ignored, in which case some severe penalties need to be applied.

You're right that government can't do everything perfectly, and private businesses are definitely the main drivers of a good free market. The government absolutely must provide clear rules to those businesses on what the society will accept, and severely punish non-compliance with those rules.
You can use a library that has an MIT license with a library that has a GPL license, that's what it means to be compatible. But the end work would have to be under the GPL license.

Its the whole reason PySide exists, to have a Qt Python library hat is LGPL to allow works that use it not have to be GPL like PyQt does.

Hate to dumb down this interesting conversation, but... You guys talk to yourselves when you're alone?

When I'm alone I kind of like... stop existing? It's made me come to the conclusion that our identity hugely depends on social constructs and our relationships with others.

I have thoughts but they're definitely not conversational. It's like, "me hungry, want lasagna" or thinking about mathematical/programming concepts, or "I should read more about this" or "I'm sad/happy this happened."

Somebody help me out here... please give me an example of how you talk to yourself when you are alone? What is that like? You have an actual dialogue with another entity that is also you? It's very hard for me to wrap my head around.

edit: Nevermind found an answer... It's from "psychology today" which I know is not the best, but it seems to cite an actual study and be by an actual psychologist.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/pristine-inner-exper...

Seems the experience of inner monologues/dialogues has a huge amount of variation and isn't well understood. Neat!

I guess we can include Seneca was an inner-monologue-er. So you guys think to yourselves but whenever you change your mind you experience it as some sort of conversation with yourself happening. Cool.
If you do have PTSD, I’ve found that somatic experiencing therapy has been amazingly effective for me. Talking about trauma only gets you so far. It sounds crazy and very “woo”, but I’ve found that trauma really is stored in the body in the form of held muscle tension. I found that I was literally physically bracing myself against the things I feared, 24 hours a day, every day. The constant physical tension was telling my brain “something is wrong” and no amount of talking about it would help dispel that feeling. Learning to identify where this is happening and how to release it has been invaluable for me.

I second the previous commenter’s opinion. Therapists all have their individual ways of seeing and working. What works wonders for one person will be a waste of time for another. If you’re not getting much out of it, keep looking for someone that can help YOU.
Alfred North Whitehead
Ten years later -- late last year -- he called me about a thing with a girlfriend.

We all start with lots of theories about parenting. We end with experience and memories. Hopefully, the kind that make you miss them (it's hard to wish that your child would miss you). And we all have the option of not parenting like our parents.

The iPhone was a tool for social navigation. It replaced a flip-phone.

We got the flip-phone as a tool for the just-in-case cases. There's a lot of growth between fourth and seventh grade...the girlfriend uhm was an obvious example...anyway, a big part of that growth is peers bove into the center of a child's attention. The parents are still there, but they're not the only thing there anymore.

Just like it was for me. Maybe like it was for you...it is for a lot of people, but not everyone (I wrote that because I took what you wrote at face value).

It's easy to read things into what people write that provide an excuse to express outrage...expressing outrage is often a form of socially acceptable creativity. It's ok to say "I wrote because they wrote something outrageous."

We all need creativity, but telling someone "I write because I like to write" feels unsafe. One thing I learned from HN is to read what people wrote charitably.

But for the record, I don't give a shit whether or not buying my kid an iPhone is ok with you.
I have a friend who gave up a very good salary to be a baker. He baked a lot during COVID and loved it. He seems very happy -- and is living with the money he gets.. he wasn't/isn't rich, was in the start of his tech career (5y in I think)
If you are in a relationship with someone where the concern is losing half your wealth after 20 years together then I would advise not marrying that person. I make about double what my wife makes. If tomorrow she said, I want a divorce, then she can take half of what we saved over the 20+ years together without any issue from me (assuming infidelity was not involved, if it was I would go scorched earth). Anything I earned was done with her support. She was there to look after the kids on the nights and weekends I worked late. When I was working until 2am she would often get up to check on me. We earned the money together. When I left software development for 5 years and took a 65% paycut, she was the one that suggested it, indeed she made more than me during that time. When I came back to software she wanted to be sure it was not going to burn me out again.

I very much understand that I sound like a guy that started a business, beat the ods and was wildly successful telling you to open your own business while ignoring the reality that most businesses fail. America stands on the shoulders of those that tried and succeeded though.

I understand that marriages fail and that people get screwed over. I know I have been incredibly lucky with my marriage to my wife. There is really no way to know and I always recommend dating and living together for years before thinking about getting married. We roll the dice when we cross the street. Everything is a risk with no guarantee of a happy ending. For me the gamble was worth it and has paid massive returns far outstripping any financial concerns.

With that said some people get shafted and I really do feel bad for those people. Dedicating your life to someone to discover they are not who you thought must be a devastating experience.
Sounds like their position is law enforcement officer commanded the nurse to perform a medical procedure which as result of it being related to a border crossing was legal if there was “reasonable suspicion” which you have said the claimed to have based on your responses and lack of cell phone.

To be clear, not stating I agree with situation, fully understand law, your perspective, law enforcement perspective, etc — but claim that body cavity search requires a warrant once reasonable suspicion is established at a border crossing to my knowledge is inaccurate if you’re claiming it is.

Example of Google search that appears to return search results supporting this:

https://www.google.com/search?q=is+it+legal+for+us+customs+t...

Disputing reasonable cause is very hard to do. Most people would likely find it reasonable to be suspicious of a person lacking a cell phone. Also appears judge granted a warrant, which to me confirms they believed their the threshold for reasonable suspicion had been passed.
Government numbers, enough said.

This is a government that just raised the retirement age from 60 to 65, proclaimed that one can take on a mortgage at age 70 and let the heirs inherit the mortgage, and do not issue passports freely. Where its banks has delayed its customers from paying off mortgage in full, and from withdrawing large amount of cash. Does that sound like a healthy economy?
