It's incredible to me how anyone — including Russians — can look at this and decide that Russia is on the right side of anything. Just flatly, what is wrong with you?

This was a real functioning city of 75,000 people. They did nothing except exist. Now it is ruins. What are you bringing to the world? What are you accomplishing? Do you think this city is liberated?

Even if you buy into the full Russian story of Ukraine "shelling Donbas for 8 years", do you see anything in Donetsk that could possibly compare to this? You've destroyed more in a year of war than Ukraine would have shelled in three centuries of skirmishing with the Donbas.
There are a lot of services that disallow email addresses to services like mailinator. That's why I stopped using them, and instead, I have a special "garbage" address on my mailserver.
It could have been, but realistically only if the goal is "find problems in current legislation and improve". They started from "repeal current legislation and replace". It's like a developer deciding to just rewrite the legacy system, it won't lead you to your desired outcome.

Continuing your ADHD example, the mood-boosting effects may very well be secondary, not directly caused by the drug itself. It feels great to finally have the balance of stimulation you always needed, but never had. The experience also has novelty, which is known to be very important to ADHD brains; because novelty is stimulating.

After some time, the novelty of the experience wears off, and you start to get more familiar with the limitations of medication. That's disappointing. Disappointment feels bad. Again, this is not caused by the drug itself, but by the surrounding experience.

ADHD itself is riddled with secondary experiences: they make up the name itself! People with ADHD do not struggle to pay attention, we struggle to direct it. Hypoactivity is a reaction to living without enough simulation. Neither is a direct symptom of the disorder, but they are ubiquitous enough to

People who live with undiagnosed/untreated ADHD are likely to end up with a lot of trauma. That trauma is unaffected by medication.

So if you start taking ADHD medication, you need to know what it does and doesn't help with. Medication can't make up the entirety of treatment, just like cognitive behavioral therapy can't replace medication.

Examples and tips on email marketing
I think the !! operator is redundant. If your language has a "never" type, then exit/return/break/panic should have a return type of never, so those expressions would be acceptable on the right hand side of !? anyway. I guess it's necessary if your language lacks a never type, or has a distinction between expressions and statements, although I don't know really why you would have either of those
I love my Dell XPS 13 running Ubuntu - yes, a lot of things (docking stations, video conferencing tools, etc.) that "just work" on Windows and Mac need some TLC to get working, but once over that hump it's been great.
> Yes, all of them benefit from being able to push high framerates at resolutions the 3060 (and 2070 and 1080) can't get to. A high framerate is a meaningful advantage for a bunch of reasons, but so's a higher resolution- doesn't matter if an enemy's movement is smooth if your screen is too blurry to positively identify them.

Which game in particular gives a 4090 owners a meaningful advantage over 3060 owners? I understand the importance of high & stable FPS.

This is the impression I have. Bus the site is way too slim. This language need more features and bigger standard lib. But I like the way the did with the ownership. Way more attractive than Rust. Having classes does not hurt either even though the implementation looks like very basic. Hopefully all of this will improve in the future.
Until you hit Zardoz or A Boy and His Dog, these are relatively tame. If you want the deeply weird, you should head for Cries of Ecstasy, Blows of Death or Invasion of the Bee Girls. For some reason, once the films got a little smutty, they also got rather experimental. I'm not saying they are good but they are unusual and you may find yourself mulling over what you saw more than you might expect. It's not dissimilar to a slightly earlier deal where some of the porn people were trying to move toward horror and some of the horror people were trying to have more of an exploitative feel (arguably the former group had less success than the latter). Again, the results weren't really good but they were sometimes interesting.
Not to mention Karameru's recurring character "Demon Core-kun".

I'd wager this is the weirdest thing I've ever found an excuse to link to on HN.
It's not an arm tattoo, it's an ID card.

The sad thing is that the UK has inflicted all the negative aspects of ID requirements on people without the consolation prize of a universal free ID.

If you have a job, rent a house, or have a bank account in the UK, you must have a government ID at the moment. Because people wanted that requirement barrier built so it could be used against immigrants.
Now I’m curious about the possible use case, direct bank transfers or most virtual finance apps charge less than PayPal now, unlike the early 2000s. And if you want privacy instead, PayPal is far worse than crypto
They were by their own admission complacent, believing that trade and closer economic integration would remove the threat. They’ve changed their minds since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Germany has also been able to benefit from the overall NATO and European security umbrella and, unlike the US, UK, or France, has no alliances or foreign territories that require it to provide security or uphold security guarantees far from home. That meant a different force design and spending profile. For instance, Germany has no strategic need for carriers, which France, the UK, and US have, purely because it doesn’t need that level of global force projection.

> No dedicated DBAs

A couple years ago, the company I was working at had a dedicated team just for JIRA (and other workflow mgmt systems).

They were looking for some people to fill out the team so I asked my SRE friends if they knew any good JIRA people.

I was surprised that the #1 answer was "Dedicated JIRA people? Why don't you just have someone do it from your team. JIRA isn't that hard."

This immediately made me think of the "Why do we even need DBAs? It's all ORM anyway." Which of course leads to "Why is the DB so slow?" etc etc

I thought that was a bad scenario till a friend was telling me at their current employer (which uses a lot of databases) they routinely ask "Is anyone here the DBA?" and the answer is "What's a DBA??"
> You can’t target conflicts against multiple constraints,

I've never needed that, and it's not clear why I would.

Like, my new record is a duplicate of record A according to one constraint and record B according to another constraint, so it updates both A and B?

One "upsert" but two resulting records?

Can someone fill me in on when this would crop up?

>> It should be obvious to China that what is currently happening to Russia is also slated to happen to them.

That's the wrong metaphor. The West is in no position to provide "spankings" on demand. It's not the world's parent, and even it if was, children eventually grow up and parents pass their peak and decline in strength.

China will learn from this (Russia's tactical mistakes), and will adapt to avoid repeating them. The West may get cocky from the successes in Ukraine, and fail to adapt, and put itself in a position to be "spanked."

You can actually see the same dynamic in Ukraine: Russia invaded in 2014, and totally spanked Ukraine. Ukraine adapted, but the Russians cockily waltzed in in 2022 expecting to be able to repeat 2014, and got spanked themselves.

I think there are real costs if the level of incompetence adds up over a stack/system. But as a general rule, I don't think this is a sad phenomenon at all. Well, actually, it's fair to feel sad about it, but it should be understood as a form of growth for our society. (Growth is often painful.)

Writing low-level code should be viewed like blacksmithing or any other technology. At one time, it was the cutting edge that enabled new tools to exist. But over time, it's become well understood and abstracted and it's possible for us to build factories that automatically output many of the steel products we need. And now we can mass-produce steel components for more advanced machines that would have been impossible if they had to be forged by hand.

How are you buying pages if they don't include the paper? Clearly this is paying for the ink.

I also don't understand what your cost argument is supposed to say: if you actually print at close to the allowed limit you're basically getting a new cartridge every other month or so, which is still not profitable if the $30 price is close to the break even price. If the problem for HP really was worry about not getting the money back for the initial cartridge they could just demand you commit for a six month period at least.
That would depend on how much you trust google. I don't trust any vendor enough to lock myself into particular OS. I prefer the ability to ditch one flavor of linux for another on a moment's notice.
That is just false. The gatekeepers of this data see a new algorithm, get excited, try it, test it against the aforementioned model, and then keep the old model because it's just better /s.

Real talk now, I'm an "AI person" from big pharma, and we're quite up to date. topological neural networwks, diffusion models, QM neural potentials, large scale meta-learning, systematic active learning, we're doing it all. We also know that most of the time, a small bayesian GLM or random forest on run-of-the-mill descriptors actually works very well and fails predictably, which is important.

Data in pharma in particular tends to be sparse and shallow: a hundred datapoints clustered tightly in chemical space because that's what the process generates. Sharing the data can lead competitors to the precious IP you're protecting, which is why we also invest a lot in blind federated learning etc.

Anyway, the going's tough, but everyone is doing their best. nobody's dismissing AI at all... we're just more aware of the domain-specific pitfalls.
I vote for HN to add a button on every post:

> They are significantly more efficient than cars in all ways that matter: cost, space, energy.

Then why are railways always unprofitable while car companies are worth billions in the free market?

> Nobody looks at the billions spent on roads and thinks "ooh these are unprofitable let's get rid of them", so why do people/governments constantly do that for rail?

Because roads are profitable and make sense. Rail does not.

Also, railways are at least 100x more expensive than roads. And the entire infrastructure has to be subsidised. With roadways, you just build the surface, vehicles are wholly privately owned. That means trillions less spent from the taxpayer's pocket.
Same here, have a Brother printer that just printed and scanned. did nothing else and did not complain for years. Had the minimum features but that's exactly what I need it for.

I think this was the entire point of this study. The interesting and positive experience is what knocks people out of their depression. It’s not that drug experiences are particularly magical in and of themselves, apparently getting anaesthetised is about as effective. Taking hallucinogens or disassociatives just happens to be a low effort way of having an interesting experience. It helps that it also feels a little transgressive and edgy.
Large parts of this SEO spam (?) are straight plagiarized from Wikipedia. E.g., they pasted the entire ~450 word #Description section verbatim (apparently by hand – judging from the paragraph-break errors introduced at several points).

The newsletter has only 5k subs, but it’s possible this is sufficient to farm out —- in effect —- genuine HN submissions via various real users. But you don’t normally see websites like this making the front page of HN regularly, and this website has been on the front page a dozen+ times. It’s probably genuine, but it’s worth looking into whether or not there’s upvote bots involved… just a note for Dang. I love the content too so perhaps real. But I suspect someone is running this site and promoting it here as a business (people seem to like it though, and the ads are bearable)."

> However, ink chemistry is not some straightforward mixing and the risks are largely downplayed by 3rd party ink manufacturers.

Exactly and precisely 0.0% of printer manufacturers make their own ink.

Almost all printer ink in the world comes from a very small region, a single business park really, of Malaysia. Some is also made in Europe and Japan.

It is made by companies like Toyo Chem, DIC, Sakata, and Swan and transported directly to the facilities that fill the cartridges.

Printer companies have almost no input into the process, they buy based on spec from a list of offerings.

3rd party cartridge manufacturers buy the same ink, with the same specs, from the same manufacturers as printer manufacturers.

If a printer manufacturer claims to have an exclusive formula they are either lying, or the ink maker lied about giving them exclusivity because you can buy any ink from anyone at anytime. If the manufacturer wants to keep up appearances they'll change a single digit on the product ID and claim it is a different product, they don't care where the drums are going so long as the wire transfer goes through.

Even the ink manufacturers OFTEN don't "create" ink. They just blend pigments from pigment manufacturers together with solvents from solvent manufacturers in formulae that are pre-determined between the pigment and solvent makers.

If a customers says "I need an ink that does x" they go to the pigment and solvent suppliers and ask "what do I need to buy so the ink does x" and the suppliers tell them and the ink manufacturer follows the formula to the letter.
The reason it's in a zip is so you never see that it's an .exe. Otherwise the email client would show the file extension and warn the user.

Microsoft in their wisdom have decided Windows users never need to see file extensions by default, so after unzipping the user would just double click an innocuous file with an MS Word icon. And maybe press OK on a prompt they've been trained to press OK on.

There are three ways I know to bring down a drone with electronic warfare:

- jam the operator's signal (RF)

- jam or spoof GPS/GLONASS (RF)

- fry the electronics

There are degrees of autonomy. Some autonomous vehicles do not rely on their operators, but continue to rely on GPS et al. Fuller autonomy requires an internal navigation system based on local data of the terrain to be navigated. In that case, the only thing left is to damage the on-board electronics. Google tells me this is what microwaves do...
