systemctl disable mydaemon.service

ls /etc/systemd/system/mydaemon.service

ls: cannot access '/etc/systemd/system/mydaemon.service': No such file or directory

It has no business removing that symlink. It was placed there by me, and it should be treated no differently than if it was a regular file.

I have no problem with systemctl enable/disable creating and removing links in the appropriate target.d directories, but this symlink had nothing to do with that mechanism. Leave my stuff alone.
Regarding vcvars.bat, I'm still a fan of letting the user set that before calling into the build system. I specifically don't want random projects trying to find random toolchains in random ways. The new toolchain file sounds like a great development in that space.

Without CMake, from powershell, you can do something like `& "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\Common7\Tools\Launch-VsDevShell.ps1" -VsInstallationPath:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community" -Arch:amd64 -HostArch:amd64 -SkipAutomaticLocation` and it works well enough. I usually provide that oneliner as a vs2022ce-x64-x64.ps1 script, and just note in the README that users can adapt it to their system/needs.

Also of note is the amazing portable-msvc.py by the one and only Mārtiņš Možeiko : https://gist.github.com/mmozeiko/7f3162ec2988e81e56d5c4e22cd...

It downloads the compiler toolchain and nothing more, and writes a setup.bat with no conditional logic. It was trivial for me to adapt to write a setup.ps1 also. Compare the size of the result, vs my attempt to have a minimal toolchain using the Visual Studio Installer.

1.3G msvc
4.2G C:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community

You don't get the debugger, profiler, etc., of course, but I use other tools for that stuff anyway (and they don't require an additional 3G).

I don't recommend projects to use it directly, it's just an excellent resource to point people towards.
To me, reading HN or some other site (and replying), playing online games with strangers (and no voice chat or really the need to communicate at all), etc... are largely just ways to pass time and relax. I never really thought of it as being around people in the way I would say going to a party is.

I think the drain from interacting with people for me largely comes from overthinking everything (and devoting a lot of mental energy to doing so in real time). But with replying to an online thread, I can take my time to make a reply I'm happy with, or flat out decided not to reply, which I do a lot (though I try not to if someone replied to me in a way which I could then reply to add to the conversation).

I also find the drain goes down as I build relationships and figure out the existing dynamics, and online forums give ample time for the latter to happen because I never feel compelled to get involved in the discussion before I'm ready.

Online discussions often also have the advantage of clearer feedback, though voting systems and blunt replies (where in person people tend to be less confrontational).
I'm suggesting that fewer humans isn't a problem, never mind a "sad" development. That's doubly true when the "fewer humans" is the result of a voluntary choice people make, rather than one of the more traditional ways of obtaining "fewer humans" in a historical context.
Not to get all political or spin conspiracy theories, but this makes you wonder why we are going in a direction where abortion + birth control will be illegal (at least for most people). Not to mention relaxing the age requirements for being able to work. Could this be a strategy to force people to reproduce and ensure that the poorly payed, disposable workers supply does not run dry?
At first I thought you were making a joke about the moon landing being filmed on a movie set. Nope! This is actually a really cool fact I hadn't heard before. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/pink-floyd-moon-landing/

> When viewers in the U.K. gazed upon their television sets on July 21, 1969, they were witnessing history. Man was setting foot on the Moon for the first time, and providing the soundtrack was legendary rock band Pink Floyd.

> The BBC recognized how historically significant the Moon landing would be and planned its programming accordingly. Over a 10-day period the network provided more than 27 hours' worth of material that was about or inspired by the Moon landing. These included news reports, children’s shows and Moon-centric entertainment.
people have been making that argument or warning for a long time, yet I am up 11x (1000 percent ) overall on my accounts since 2014 thanks to leveraged funds, big tech. good thing i ignored those people
Personally I've found the presence of children in restaurants can be totally fine depending on the parents. If they keep a handle on them they're no more unpleasant than an adult. If they're trashy people who let their kids scream and carry on it's a nightmare.

I haven't lived in SK but I'm surprised there are many people who would let their kids be disruptive.

Yes. Exactly. Which is why the program should tell you which one takes precedence.

The program already knows what config files it's loading and in what order, so why is it left up to the human to do all that work again? There should be a flag like --manifest or something that would spit out what actually got loaded from where.
Hehe, yes, definitely. The ratio of interesting content:junk would be nice to visualize. In the early days of the web I hardly ever ran into a website that wasn't interesting. /. (why not ./ by the way?) was a nice way to discover new stuff when that ratio first started to decrease.
It’s really about fuel economy, not emissions, unless you’re counting CO2 as an emission. Idle-off that makes it so you can’t steer while stopped at a red light, unreliable CVTs, sloppy gas pedals in eco-mode that you have to disable every time, the list goes on and on, and no driver ever asked for it. In general the CAFE fleet average rule makes it so that each manufacturer gets to build 1 or 2 interesting cars and the rest have to be weak econoboxes. Maybe the whole point of ratcheting fuel economy standards so high is to make ICE cars worse and eventually illegal.
iOS 17 is supposed to come with a new "Assistive Access" setting[0] which is intended to be an "old person's mode" with limited but pronounced functionality.

In the meantime, you should be able to solve the call banner issue through a relatively hidden setting; Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls > "Full Screen" should put things back to the way they were.

Sure, the same is true of anything written. But much of that has shifted to digital media because it's more convenient. A print shop has much higher latency and change costs. The newer restaurants in my neighborhood mostly use flexible ways of conveying prices. QR codes, menus on big screens, chalkboards, or computer-printed paper menus on disposable paper.
So you said it yourself, it's not really a 100% utility as "someone" decides what is a spam and what's not. Try running an email service yourself. Being open protocol still gives leverage to someone to decide who can and cannot use the service, and who can monetize ads.
> Interesting that even at the time he was completely wrong.

Within the past few months, I've started to see more low effort comment posting, submissions way outside of what many thing HN on-topic to be, and I've flagged more submissions/comments in the past handful of days than I ever have.

HN is becoming something like a proto-popular reddit.

EDIT: Since the above sounds like doom-and-gloom for HN, I want to say it's great that more people can enjoy HN. I hope it stays (close) to it's original intent.
So, the slow replacement preserves consciousness. Why, who knows, but it happens to us already every day, so we can take it as granted. If it didn't, we'd be someone different every day, with false memories, and while it's not impossible there's not really many places reason can take us from there.

The problem with the teleportation is not even that it's a quick replacement... it's that it's not a replacement at all. You're building a clone somewhere else, and destroying the original. You could build 50 clones at the same time on 50 planets if you wanted - and of course none of them would be you, there's zero chance you're preserved. So, you're dead, even if to the rest of the world it makes no difference.

Is that clearer?
So? This is way formula racing sucks. Too many stupid rules.
> You build up abstractions in C by leveraging contracts and writing proofs of correctness based on those contracts. […] this course taught me how to reason about my programs

That seems like an essential part of what programming should be about? And imperative programming has it’s own considerations on how to go about it. I don’t see how it is a misnomer.
We went from 1 billion in 1910 to 7-8 billions in 2010. It's going to keep being this populated, at the rate we reproduce!
I loved Pirlouit, especially biquette.

I disagree. Pretty much any program of enough size, including those written in functional languages, are going to have state that outlives the lifetime of a single call stack.
> tend to take up the less dangerous, more comfortable low-wage jobs. Think teachers, nurses, secretaries against soldiers, police officers, construction workers.

> less dangerous, more comfortable

I don't think a modern school or hospital is more comfortable or safe than a squad car. To be completely fair the difference between a police officer and a nurse and teacher is that the former can defend himself and claim he "was afraid for his life" while the latter can't.
100%. FDA approval is nonsense. FDA plays in arms of big pharma to provide you good advice which also makes money. They hardly peddle any advice which doesn't make money. For instance, linkage of cancer, heart disease, kidney disease etc with processed foods, sugar, fructose (fruit juice, corn syrup) etc despite tonnes of contrary evidence
Well, I guess I'll have to stop doing my yardwork and do the other two scenarios!
Richer people don’t pay more taxes. If you have $200b by the time you are 50 years old you have somehow acquired $4b a year post tax.

To acquire $400,000 a year - one ten thousandth of that - you would have to pay about 300k a year in tax, or about $15m, before you even spent a penny.

Have Musk and Bezos paid $150b in tax over their lifetime?
The vast majority of dirty and dangerous jobs are done by men, even if there are many women-dominated service jobs as well. For every nurse there are 10 construction workers. Servers and retail are probably about equal. Numbers wise it is extremely obvious that women will be more able to take advantage of remote work, especially when you factor in their much higher education attainment (50% higher college graduation) and tendency to do part time.
I live in apartments in Austin. The only reason people get dogs is because everyone else has one. And there are plenty of instances of untrained and abused animals. My downstairs neighbor keeps a dog so loud its bark can be heard through a concrete floor. It barks at all hours of the day, night, and early morning. It's because these neighbors are inconsiderate assholes. The apartment complex management shrugs their shoulders. Hipster ghetto and I'm breaking my lease.
Active RFID tags with integrated sensors are becoming more common.

Electronic sensors of various sorts have become low enough power to enable embedding a very small battery with sensors and RFID transmitter. These can log readings every second or few for a few _years_.
He mentions it in the video as well.
I don't follow your logic. How would constructing a new ship from new materials ever count as being the same as the original ship?

At least in the Ship of Theseus paradox, there is the case where you take the old replaced parts and construct a ship from those parts - which is an interesting question, is it the original ship? In this case, the only thing consistent about the ship is the design. Take mass manufactured goods then - are they the same article because the have the same materials?
>if you include Windows gaming

But windows gaming isn't like console gaming. You don't have to pay license fees to microsoft to publish on windows - its a general purpose platform thats relatively open. It has nothing to do with the console market for you to count it except to purposely misrepresent the market.
>Henry Ford did not invent cars to be fixed only at the dealer and then be thrown away after the lease/warranty expires. That is a very modern phenomena.

Henry Ford invented assembly line manufacturing. A product manufactured on an assembly line is the textbook definition of a commodity.

> Back then it took knowledge and work to keep a car on the road, to deal with inevitable roadside breakdowns long before cellphones.

I'm sorry but am I to believe you were around "back then" to know what it took to keep a car on the road "back then"?
Accounts with low karma are limited.

Ideally this should solve the "mass downvoting to impose your pet echo chamber" problem that can happen in other online communities.

With the ongoing fall of reddit if I were an admin i would propose a limit based on account age, in order to not shift the common etiquette suddenly.
Different cast, different set, and different characters all seem to make it easier to horizontally scale production. Other than the financing side of things, why couldn't independent production companies simply make different episodes? Perhaps there are not enough production companies that have that ability?
Depending on how the stock does lol, but yea, generally agree.
Yeah, it's extremely common for people to be extremely prolific programmers in high school, without having much knowledge of foundational computer science or algorithm concepts.

No, being unable to utilize your old files is an ongoing cost, not just a sunk cost.
Societal norms have changed.

It used to be if a kid was misbehaving or damaging property, you could, as a random adult, tell them to stop. Now, you can't dare speak without the potential of an ugly confrontation because you dared talk to their little price or princess.

If that's the norm, I'd rather not have stranger's kids around in public spaces.
lets see: in less than 2 days they took over 2 regional centers, southern military headquarters (in process captured deputy minister of defense and deputy chief of military intelligence) and 2 military airbases. marched unopposed for few hundred miles towards moscow and stopped only because they decided to do (also took down a bunch of military aircrafts.).
at same time russian government managed only to put a bunch of tracks with sand on highways to block it, demolish parts of highway and bomb their own bridge.

prior to this, last month, some RDK and Russian Legion performed ~10km deep incursions into russia, pretty much unopposed and stayed there for a days.

so no, it's not only onliners. it's just state of russian state. where everything is fake and for show
It is my understanding this is incorrect. Whether chip or NFC is used, the private key is still used to perform a challenge-response signature for the transaction (ARQC/ARPC and SDAD)

What’s wrong with pitbulls? Every one I’ve met is a sweet little thing.

And I know the stats on dog attacks. Something like 10 a year from pitbulls could easily be down to owners buying them specifically to use them as weapons and training them as such.
What I’m getting at is that those threads have a high likelihood of being gamed to make you think a certain way
Just don’t read the original version of the Congo one. Even the corrected version to be honest.
Oh really? Since when? I have a 2017 in canada without TPMS (tire presure sensor for anyone passing by) and it is the most obnoxious piece of tech I can omagine having in a car. Crazy to think it's mandatory.
It’s great for you, except that FAANG policies have often set the standards for the rest of the industry for many years now. It would be great if other companies took a different tack, but I’m skeptical. What’s more, many tech companies are beholden to their Silicon Valley VCs, who have been among the strongest critics of remote work so far. Most have a financial interest to get workers back to SF/Silicon Valley.
Childless taxpayers subsidize the public school system. I get the impression this is a substantial cost already.

A better starting point is to take down artificial costs imposed on childrearing, like https://thezvi.substack.com/p/on-car-seats-as-contraception
Childfree is a lifestyle choice which must be taxed (and already is in some countries like Germany). Parenthood is a matter of survival of our species and our economy.
> Well, what happens if someone gets your piece of paper?

Not for personal matters and that is a personal choice. My way ain't broke and i ain't fixin it. A password manager smells like something that could break, get compromised, or go out of business at any time without any warning and i don't like the smell of it.

He mentions that the goal is a PCB drone, but also mentions laptop cooling as a possible application. The initial design of the motor is a low heat one, as the early iterations had a problem with overheating at low RPM.
This seems to be a persistent problem. Can you modify the site's code to autodead comments to my blog that contain the word "furry" or something? It is tiring to continue to see people that are NOT in my intended target audience complain that I'm not catering to their every need.

If you didn't make everything noreferrer I could just add a "no fun allowed" bit of JavaScript or server-side Rust code to replace the "objectionable images" with random emoji or pictures of innocuous food or something, but I can't do that.
I don't understand why smartphone games are relevant in determining whether or not the FTC is right to have concerns over competition in the console gaming industry.

Consoles games aren't the same products than smartphones games. Only xbox, playstation and the nintendo consoles are in the same market (edit: and PC)

I do agree console war is outdated and not relevant anymore but it doesn't mean the FTC is wrong. Of course they may be wrong for an entire different set of reasons.
These are very good points but at least Apple could give the user a choice to report air quality consistently when traveling. At the core, this is not a measurement problem (the underlying data is likely the same) but it is a user experience issue since a user cannot use the color coding as a way to compare different scales across locations.
It's for this reason that I've burner accounts with burner emails.

Recently, I got this treatment from Glassdoor, too. I've had a real account with GD, and had made some honest contributions in the past. I haven't made any contributions in a while, because I haven't had any. Now, what do I see when I go to look up something? An indismissable pop up that says "looks like you haven't contributed anything in a while. Make a contribution to continue browsing".

I didn't really wanted to, but now I'm going to get a burner account for GD, too.
There are other reasons.

A footgun doesn't stop being a footgun with time. New generations of programmers and shell scripters are constantly rolling through and shooting their toes off. Just because there was a "well, that sucks, but it's the least worst compromise" 4 decades ago doesn't make it a good reason today, doesn't make it intuitive today, and doesn't make it not still a horrible footgun today. A familiar footgun is still a footgun.

It takes a lot of strength to stand against the pressure of society and family or social pressure. We interact with about 30% patriarchs and 70% matriarchs.

I believe the opposite is actually applied in practice, e.g. prescribing antidepressants to people with IBS for instance where the physical cause of the bowel symptoms isn't obvious/is suspected to be neurologically related.

From the point of view of somebody with IBD, negative cognitive effects in the middle of a flare seem pretty "common sense" obvious but it could also be down to dehydration etc... But that's in the case where there is a specific physical gut disease process in progress. I imagine that treating mental health conditions by altering the gut in people who have healthy bowels is probably a dead end.

If you have family members likely to pay for scams, you probably shouldn't give them access to SMS, phone calls or email, for that matter. If they would fall for these threat vectors, then they could already be exploited with a link to Safari or a social engineering scam on speakerphone.
I would go one further and say that the default should be that programs cannot read, open, or see files at all unless they're either explicitly allow-listed to open those files, or the user has given permission for them to open those files (i.e. by using the file name as a command-line argument, or selecting the file in an os-provided file selection dialog box).
