If you like beta-testing in production, maybe.
The body and mind have a remarkable ability to heal, beyond what most think is possible. It sounds like a lot of your mental condition is due to over-medication with pain killers and medicine, as well as stimulants like caffeine pills. But obviously a lot of it is the result of suffering from that traumatic event you had and the fact that you're still not completely healed from that. Trust me, I've been there with drugs and performance enhancing stimulants, it's not a long term solution.

I've also been through a very rough period in my life where my mental functioning was severely degraded from a traumatic event. For context, I was a software engineer and yet all I had the capacity for was to watch TV and browse the internet (I definitely couldn't study). I felt very fearful that it would be permanent and that my life was over, given that I depended on my intellect for my living (and identity). I even considered just giving up software engineering entirely to do something simpler, like retail.

Thankfully, having come through that period of my life, I'm now actually clearer and mentally sharper than I was before I was injured. I actually do run an product engineering agency in addition to doing a startup, and it helped a lot given that I didn't have to be somewhere 9-5pm, and I could take days off whenever I was feeling tired or needed to rest. I found that doing mentally heavy work didn't help my recovery as much as simple exercise like walking, and spending time in nature. I would echo some of the other comments here talking about the relationship between physical health and mental health.

I recommend looking to practising some kind of Yoga, Tai Chi or Qigong. These practices are especially good for people with persistent and lingering conditions. Remember, that you are not "brain-damaged", having this self perception is very limiting. I'm not your doctor but this sounds like the after effects of trauma to the head, which is temporary and will heal over a year or two. I wouldn't write off your career aspirations just yet, you're very young and have plenty of time. Also remember that you can come out better than before as long as you focus on self care, rest and not pushing yourself too hard. Your rest and recovery is more important than grades. You don't want to exacerbate your condition and delay your recovery by overexerting yourself.

You're a high achiever but sometimes we need to step back for a moment to regain our foundation, so that in future we can flourish. Feel free to PM me if you want.
What’s the use case? Finding useful libraries?
That's fair, but i'd argue that mods are a pretty essential part of the game for most people
In Germany, outdoor advertising seems to be quite restricted in general, compared to the UK, for example. As a result, in cities and towns rich in post-WWII buildings one mostly sees similarly-looking walls, windows, and roofs everywhere.
They can't all be wrong or mistaken, but there can be a very strong sample bias.

I can go into a longer diatribe here, but the short story is:

1) Most people have a hard time finding jobs at any age. Recent college grads can't all be wrong. :)

2) There is always a strong reversion to mean

3) Most of the people in their 50s or 60s whom I hear complaining were an outlier for employability for their age group in their 20s and 30s (e.g. straight out of Stanford).

Most older people I know are /very/ employable, and don't complain. Another pathway:

- Finish a state college. Have a very hard time finding a first job.

- Work up the career ladder, and build up a resume, reputation, and track record.

- Much easier time finding jobs in their 50s and 60s than straight out of college or early career.

Some of this also has to do with bust/boom cycles. People who entered the workforce during recessions had a hard time finding a job in their 20s, and then found things comparatively easy. People who entered during a boom cycle are the opposite.
Of note, they mention (ordering/emphasis mine):

> We remain committed to Zoekt, the open source code search engine, and will continue to upstream changes to it.

https://github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt

> The source code will remain publicly available.

> Individual devs will still be able to use Sourcegraph for free on public code at sourcegraph.com and within our self-hosted free tier on private code.

> Very few individual devs or companies used the limited variant of code search that was open source. The vast majority (99.9%+) used the enterprise product. Maintaining two variants going forward was a big burden on our engineering team that had very little benefit for users.
I lived until recently in Florianópolis, one of the state capitals of Brazil. It is a naturally beautiful island city, and it has an iconic bridge leading into it ("Ponte Hercilio Luz" if you want to search for photos).

For some god forsaken reason, someone got away with building a gigantic - and I mean GIGANTIC - screen billboard right in line of sight of this historic postcard. I don't recall when it was installed, but if you look at any photos of the bridge taken from the south since maybe 2015, it is there.

It is bright, it plays animated ads the entire day, and it is also perfectly aligned with the nearby major road Beira Mar Norte so that people driving south to the bridge see it just off to the side of their view where it won't be covered by transit.

Frankly just due to the animations I'm surprised it is not banned as an epilepsy hazard, but alas, money speaks louder than reason, and one of the most iconic and beloved sights in this city is now tainted with the most vapid disservice to humanity.

Here's a screenshot of Google Street View: https://i.imgur.com/OXeVkuq.jpg (annotated as their camera doesn't pick up on the brightness during the day due to sea haziness)
> The GPL requires that the distributor place no restriction on redistribution of the sources or binaries by their clients. ... The subscription agreement, however, is terminated if you exercise this right, despite Red Hat not being allowed to restrict the exercise of this right.

Again -- you've said this elsewhere -- which source and which binaries? RH places no restrictions on the redistribution of source or binaries received pursuant to Section 3 of the GPL. RH simply terminates the business relationship if you decide to build a 1:1 clone. What you're reading into the GPL is a duty not to terminate a business relationship, and to deliver new and distinct sources and binaries, after the business relationship is terminated.
I bought a Steam Deck, I used it a bit but honestly not as much as I expected.

I did however finally manage to dump Windows from all my machines, apart from my VR sim racing rig, and now play everything on my Linux desktop or laptop. If it doesn't run, at this point I just pick something else to play. Steam Deck has pushed the state of the art of Wine/Proton/DXVK/... so far it's mostly just a plug and play experience, I've not had any issues at all. Often runs more reliably than native Linux ports.
I'm very curious about the Steam Deck (especially because it runs Linux), but it's just too big for my taste. There are other companies making very similar devices (which are often more powerful too) that are smaller (like Ayaneo [1]), but so far they are all running on Windows. (Seems like they are making their own Linux-based OS though.)

I use a VPN anytime I am out of the house on my mobile, mostly because it obfuscates things when it comes to advertiser tracking and ISP snooping for advertising data. Better local access security on WiFi points is part of it as well, but ultimately I dislike snooping for ads, which every free WiFi at large businesses is definitely doing.
Bought a switched, but eventually gave it away.

But the deck stays.
It's in the interest of the rich for the poor to be the beta testers.

When anti-aging becomes real rather than fantasy, there are going to be so many mutually incompatible conspiracy theories.
Which makes me both happy and concerned. On one hand, I am finally able to use my main computer for gaming without having to deal with dual booting nor emulation (in the VW sense). On the other, Proton completely kills native Linux porting. Amnesia The Bunker being released only in Windows despite the developers' long story supporting Linux was likely influenced by this.
Yeast DNA and Its Impact on Beer
I’m not talking about a single paper, I’m talking about a whole research programme. But Rumelhart, Hinton, Williams 1986 is very improtant. A lot of the foundational work is collected in the PDP report.
The best anti-ageing cure that works now might be an optimized diet, exercise, and sleep routine. No protein injections required!
> IMO saying either "I don't own a smartphone" or "I refuse to use my personal devices for work related purposes" should be a no-questions-asked accepted position. And while I've yet to be met with hostility by saying that, it is unfortunately such a minority position that it is almost always the first time they've heard an objection.

Being at a more security-conscious (or paranoid) company can help in that case: they also don't want you to have work related things (other than MFA related software) on your personal devices, so the incentives align.
The eye tracking sounds like a killer feature (I can imagine how it could enable reading with touchless, perfect, infinite scrolling). Sadly, from my brief read of the docs, it seems like Apple doesn’t allow apps to access what people are looking at (“to preserve privacy”) though.
Yet, cultural footprint aside, in economic terms the video game industry is significantly larger than film.

(Sorry, citation needed, but I clearly recall reading this from a reputable source.)
Russia’s Air Force is largely non functional. It’s not capable of bringing it all to the front due to a mix of parts, maintenance, and pilot shortages. The latest phase of the war has seen them trying to use their copters (which are effective) but they’re dropping pretty fast.

It’s true that surface to air missiles are very good these days. But that’s not very useful against long range missiles precision weapons. Which Russia largely does not have. See their recent use of an iskander ballistic missile to take out a company of infantry under a bridge out of desperation and lack of alternatives.
Beyond Browsers: The Longterm Future of JavaScript Standards
Wrt 1.: A lot of "common non technical people" believe it makes browsing more secure and private, often in ways which VPNs do _not_ provide. And evading region blocks is a neat additional benefit (through I also would argue that the need to avoiding region blocks varies quite a bit over time and depending on which country you are in).

Also due to nation specific news sometimes spreading international, some people in regions where there is no major abuse of power of network carriers might think there is. E.g. similar how e.g. people in countries with only a small problem of police violence often think of it as being as bad as in the US due to how many "US sourced" stories they directly and indirectly hear.

Lastly some VPNs try to provide additional security measurements, like blocking connections to known malicious sites and servers. The problem with such services is that they can be abused, and do you trust them? At least I do not trust many VPN providers.
I have to mention this book:

Not too dense if you were used to read newspapers and magazines.
Some additions:

Stores also cannot use their full façade for advertising. Branding colors and details are OK, but logos cannot be too large (don't know the exact rule). The law is picky.

Some stores cheat by having a glass façade, and using LEDs inside that glass. Like this: https://imgur.com/a/CLdUD1C

Since this law was adopted, there's been an increase in full building graffiti, which is not banned. Now 10 years later, it is more likely to see one of these nowadays than an empty outdoor frame https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&q=sao+paulo+full+buil...
FWIW you can use the Steam UI to configure any controller if you launch big picture mode on desktop. I've used it to remap my Stadia controller and an Xbox controller and it works almost as good as the Deck configuration.

I say almost as good, because the "Steam button + joystick" mouse controls don't work for very long; the Xbox button gets mapped to the Steam button, but holding that will turn off the controller...
This sort of improvement is extremely welcome. Good job Mozilla.
That is kind of what I am saying. I think it would be better if we had 25 years of preparation, followed by 75 productive years followed by 25 years of retirement. The current 25,35,15 split isn’t very efficient.

Ageism might still exist but significantly pushed back.
I don't think this would have prevented it. Removing ".." segments from paths is part of URL parsing and required by the HTTP specification. Nginx very likely does this too.
Mildly annoying to setup sometimes, use Lutris or Heroic as others said but once it's done it's more or less the same as the Steam version. Lutris and Heroic let you easily setup shortcuts to Steam so it will appear in the game UI, you can use all the same features as you would for a Steam game, framerate limit etc.,. Occasionally you can run into issues with the GOG version that don't crop up with the Steam version but usually the Lutris installer does a good job. Heroic is a bit hit or miss IME. Epic and EA games work too but sometimes DRM adds an extra layer. It's about as complicated as getting a game from say 2005 working on a modern PC.
Israel's hi-tech sector kicks off Economic Resistance Day protests
I tweaked your prompt:

How can I help consultants who have AWS skills meet potential clients that need their services and are willing to pay top dollar?

Here's what Painfinder responded with:

"1. One pain point that consultants with AWS skills often face is the challenge of finding potential clients who are in need of their services and are willing to pay top dollar. Existing software solutions in this space do not provide a comprehensive platform for connecting consultants with clients in a targeted and efficient manner. However, there are opportunities to address this pain point by leveraging the capabilities of existing software products."
Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it. I do need to grow thicker skin. I'm taking these hallucinations too personally I guess.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. <-- I love this quote!
I read the post title and imagined a ferret having it's skin melted like the scene int Raiders of the last ark. I was so wrong.
They’re not giving up much anyway regardless of their overall level of economic activity. These billboards are not just an eyesore but violate the public space at the expense of everyone else. Should be banned nationally (globally would be great too)
Agreed. As an interesting look at the human side of technology decisions, Google dropped XMPP federation the year after I graduated high school, leaving me extremely isolated from all my friends once we went our separate ways.
None of these 10 books are GOAT.

Inmates running the asylum should be here if we are talking about tech books for girls. SICP and TAoCP should be here if we are talking about tech textbooks.
Luckily this is just an article explaining one side of the law, and it's from 2001. Obviously, there are advertisements, but not on large billboards across the city. Sometimes, I feel like this site is no different from a Twitter thread. There are so many uninformed people making comments about things they have no clue about.
“Free to learn from them” isn’t specific enough. The question is “in what ways are people free to profit off of them?”
"Keep your username" already sold me. Exhausted with every new namespace landrush. Lemon8 made a terrible mistake not piggybacking off TikTok's, alienating everyone who didn't want to battle anew, and no one is happy with Discord's disastrous rollout.
I have the same issue if I try to hold it suspended unfortunately. It gets very painful very quickly. If I lay my wrist on something, like a cushion on my lap for example, then it is fine.
Just the Neutrino kernel, not the whole of QNX.
Based upon the article, the Title should be "Free VPN services are bad". Which I believe is true.

If you need VPN, unless you know how to setup your own server, get paid ones. Most people can afford it.

But if at home, you live in what is generally considered a free country you probably do not need one. I guess there are cases were one may be useful at home. If in another type country, I think even with a VPN you could be at risk unless you are very careful.
Having that community and culture is the moat. Even like things like “ratio” and “subtweeting” are part of the moat if you’re trying to create a clone.

However, that doesn’t mean there can’t be a next big thing out of nowhere like TikTok.
I believe too they don't even waste time verifying indie games that have too few sales. My game was written for the Steam Deck but I don't hope to ever get my title "verified". I inly sold maybe 200 copies, ha ha.
I worked in São Paulo before and after this law was enacted. The difference was honestly massive, there used to be billboards plastered all over the city: across any walls or free space around major avenues (imagine the whole perimeter of Congonhas airport with Av. dos Bandeirantes covered by giant billboards floating over the walls), on the visible sides of tall buildings towards major streets, there were billboards stacked on top of others around avenues overpassing other roads (seeing 2 or 3-stack wasn't uncommon). With technological advances then came the massive displays, blinking with lights, completely littering your sight with moving images, flashes, etc.

After those were torn down, and signs around commercial spaces were restricted to a maximum allowed diagonal, it felt like your eyes had at least some rest, even though the city is still an eye sore for most of it, you didn't feel eye fatigued just by driving around some 30 minutes. It's hard to describe the difference, a constant, loud background noise seemed to disappear, at least for me.
>a 250k person will ask you why the code is written the way it is and then go on to redo it from scratch

Are you trolling to see if anyone knows this quote:

"...the single worst strategic mistake that any software company can make:
They decided to rewrite the code from scratch."

Why do you think the Earth has a fixed carrying capacity?

As with Moore's Law for decades, there have been many similar predictions in the past, and they fell by the wayside as technology, output, and productivity improved. At some point, Moore's law gave way to more gradual increases, and the same may happen here, but we have no idea how or when.
That's very kind of you, thank you again for this. I wish you the very best as well.
Does it say anywhere what hardware they used for training?
That's the spherical cow view of how markets work, and it's a meaningful part of what actually happens, but there's also a good amount of hype / new cycle/ non "discounted value of future cash flow" going on in practice.
Does that mean all intel GPUs such as integrated GPUs only Intel's discrete GPUs ?

Am I likely to find any kind of improvement on a intel 12th gen laptop ?
I guess yes since firefox has a hard time handling 1080p videos on my machine, is this because it all happens on the CPUs ?
Create sentient AI and hold them to ransom? Sounds like a Neal Stephenson subplot.
I'm curious - what's something that's not an eyesore? People think art is, graffiti, even buildings, etc. The difference is some of these generates money for governments to solve actual problems, and the others... do not.
I'm actually for us -- especially in the west -- to significantly reduce our carbon footprint and consumption. My personal consumption habits are well-below the average in the west. I think hedonistic consumption is a hollow pursuit. But, I understand that most people will not voluntarily reduce their consumption habits.
The quote you replied to specifically calls out using this behavior to get around filters. Those filters are it’s guardrails.
Ain't gonna happen
> Like the main benefit of signing would normally be non-repudiation, but it seems like this is a case wherd repudiation would be beneficial - we wouldnt want to keep an endorsemdnt that was repudiated.

So, it sounds like you're thinking something more like [1]

> I mean, i dont think "elon musk endorses this statement as true" is something that wikipedia would want. Elon musk is not a good source for what is true about elon musk (not picking on musk specificly. Most people have motivation to not be fully truthful about themselves).

I think it's useful information, but, that it basically already exists. I think there are times when it becomes really interesting, like organizational endorsements and repudations, but I just don't see endorsements and repudations being that interesting. Another idea I've seen suggested in the past is requiring users to provide a small deposit, which can be seized if it's shown they're intentionally acting malicious.

> You need to bind identities to wallets anyways, why not just skip the middle man and have people make endorsemdnts directly?

This actually has been done really well. Ethereum Name Service now has over 2,500,000 registered domains. [2] It's as easy to remember someone's address as it is their email address or social media handle. (And they can be contractually controlled, so an organization or DAO can create transactions with them or create complicated implementations that determine how they should resolve)

> So it's not like they really are giving up much with not having advertisements.

Maybe the fact that they don't allow billboards is related to the fact that they are less consumerist? Seems like ads would stimulate the economy, and that is not what they want.

I'm curious how they rank for happiness.
Why do only monitored add-ons work on some websites?
What is a good open-source system for code search if I want to plug 100 or so git repos into it and have it available over the web? GH search is not desirable because it would search too broadly and would not cover repos on Gitlab etc.

I looked at the Debian code search [1] in the past, but for some reason thought it required a bit too much effort and didn't complete my investigation of it. Though [2] looks pretty approachable.

Sourcegraph mentioned Zoekt [3], but I am not sure how usable it is. If it was pretty good, why did Sourcegraph OSS exist?

Finally, from all the discussion how Sourcegraph OSS was very behind in the past few years, I guess there is no serious plan to fork it?

Edit: GCS release [4] seems to have been open-sourced without a frontend.

Edit2: Livegrep [5] and Opengrok [6] were recommended higher in the thread. Quite excited to try them out but if someone has working Docker Compose configs, I would be very thankful for the head start.

Edit3: there is also Eureka [7]. Seems less powerful but easier to deploy.

We keep hearing people say that yet engagement is up and plenty of the people who said they were leaving are complaining about hitting rate limits.

How many years will Twitter have to still exist for some of us to admit he didn't kill it.
