There’s a book “Feeling Good Together” that gives an answer for this: self-responsibility, and wanting to make your partner happy.

“What were the results? First, we examined the demographic variables. As it turned out, it makes little difference whether you're old or young, male or female, rich or poor. Education and religious affiliation were also unimportant. These variables appeared to have little or no impact on how happy or depressed the participants were, or how satisfying or conflicted their relationships were. The presence or number of children and the length of the relationship didn't seem very important either.

Some results were completely unexpected and hard to believe at first. None of our predictions about the pairings of husbands’ and wives’ attitudes appeared to be valid. There weren't any combinations that had anything whatsoever to do with the success or failure of any of these relationships. Instead, each partner's feelings seemed to depend entirely on their own attitudes, and not their partner's.

Which attitudes were the most important? Other-blame was by far the most important mind-set. People who blamed their partners (or people in general) for the problems in their relationships were angry, frustrated, unhappy, and intensely dissatisfied with their relationships. In addition, this mind-set accurately predicted what would happen in the future. Individuals who blamed their partners for the problems in their relationship were even more miserably unhappy three months later. Things were clearly going downhill for this group. In contrast, people who were willing to assume complete personal responsibility for solving the problems in their relationships, and who felt a strong commitment to making their partners happy, not only reported the most satisfying and loving relationships at the time of initial testing, but their positive feelings seemed to increase over time.

At first, I was disappointed by these results. The findings just seemed too simple. I had been convinced that certain patterns of interactions between husbands and wives would account for whether their relationships were successful or troubled. However, the study clearly indicated that this notion wasn't valid. The only thing that really seems to matter is this: Do you blame your partner for the problems in your relationship? If so, you may be in for a tough time. However, if you're willing to examine your own role in the problem and you feel that it's your job to make your partner happy, the prognosis for a rewarding, successful relationship is extremely positive—now and in the future. These appear to be the real keys to success in any relationship. It makes no difference whether the other person is your spouse, a family member, a neighbor, a friend, or even a complete stranger.”

Oh, hmm, yeah, perhaps OP meant something more like using raw sockets to get packets directly into userspace without relying on the kernel to arrange them into streams?

I'm not very familiar with that though.
It’s not really a significant safety difference. The visibility difference isn’t that big.

It’s nowhere near on the level of removing airbags.
This took about 30 seconds to find:

"ExxonMobil‘s $33 million campaign to sow doubt and denial about global warming"

> [...] We know this $33M figure is an underestimate of the total spending by Exxon to fund opposition work on climate policy. For example, the Chamber of Commerce appears for the first time on Exxon’s Worldwide Giving report in 2014 at $1 Million. We assume this is not the first (or the last) contribution Exxon has made to the US Chamber of Commerce.

> On this page, you’ll find the total amount of funding from ExxonMobil and its foundations to dozens of organizations that worked to spread climate denial. Hyperlinks will take you to further detail about each organization’s funding specifics and activities.

They will have a different set of scaling problems to what Facebook had in 2005 - their decentralised architecture will throw out new challenges that will need time to be worked through.

Has anyone else created a decentralised social network at this scale? Arguably matrix but they also grew slower, potentially have a simpler product, and had scaling challenges along the way.

Remember scaling doesn’t just mean technical for a social network - it also means support and moderation.
Even in cases of hugely unequal powers it's a stabilizing factor. US stabilizes so many countries by making them dependent.
Agreed. I got a sodastream initially because my addiction to Diet Coke was becoming rather expensive with 2022 prices, and I grew bored of the syrups very quickly and just started drinking fizzy water. Now I almost never bother with soda or flavors at all, aside from as an occasional treat when eating out.
You provide two reviews, the article provides many more, along with 8 that they decided did not meet their standards, but they linked them anyway.

In comparing reviews of reviews of medical papers, I find myself more swayed by the article. Perhaps you'll have a different take on that part and can provide compelling evidence of why your studies should carry more weight or why the authors conclusion is flawed. I would definitely be interested in a more critical reading of that, since I'm somewhat neutral but may have some biases towards wanting aspartame to be both safe and effective.

The thing is: batteries, when used for buying low and selling high only in a turbulent market, have a dampening effect on exactly that. So, if deployed en-masse, they kill their own business case. With the 'side effect' of a much more stable price market, which is exactly what we want I guess.
Redneck is already considered a slur by many who use it. But happily the people who it refers to don’t tend to give a damn what coastal elites/city slickers think of them. In fact they often rejoice in the rejection.
I expect that there are probably a few significant points of technical resistance:

1. Introducing a new syntactic token (`..`) when there are already a lot of those in C.

2. Transforming an argument `char foo[..]` to the argument pair `const size_t foo_dim, char * const foo` leaves out a ton of existing APIs that order their arguments differently or breaks their binary compatibility.

3. It doesn’t accommodate APIs where both an element size and element count are passed, e.g. `fread(3)`.

C is a long-lived language so modifications like this have to work within a very large existing body of code. They can be made to work—blocks have worked out wonderfully, for example, by essentially saying they’re only for new APIs—but this type of extension requires a lot of consideration beyond “we could tweak the syntax and get this feature.”
Interesting. I hear a lot more about sendfile(), kTLS and general kernel space tricks than I do about DPDK and userspace networking, but maybe it's just me.

I do wonder what trend is going to win: bypass the kernel or embrace the kernel for everything?

The way I see it, latency decreases either way (as long as you don't have to switch back and forth between kernel and user space), but userspace seems better from a security standpoint.

Then again, everyone is doing eBPF, so probably the "embrace the kernel" approach is going to win. Who knows.
Tony Dowler’s “How to Host a Dungeon” is a similar solo tabletop game about a dungeon evolving as people and monsters come and go over the ages. It was originally published in 2008, but there is 2020 second edition. More info and a free PDF version here:

A £300 optional surcharge to perform what US dentistry rightfully considers the baseline standard of care is going to result in a lot of people’s teeth having subpar function and appearance.
Sendfile isn’t kernel bypass.
Well I'm in Europe, so I'm not sure if I can buy the same ones. It had novamin listed on the packaging ingredients so unless they're blatantly lying, it had it.
I installed nix-on-droid (and android app) and then ran my server in the environment that it provides, that way I didn't have to muck around with bootloaders and whatnot.

All this time I was eating kale thinking I was being healthy and was actually eating PFAS. :-/
I prefer values to be secondary to development for developing countries. If PRC actually gets powerplants and roads build, then don't be surprised if African real politik chooses Chinese infra over western lectures. And don't be surprised African leaders would PRC surveillance model to reduce ability of US to spread their values via influence ops. Or African leaders look at modern development history and still pick PRC/East Asian model, because at the end of the day, democratic societies are easily hijacked by external factors and terrible at developing. Authoritarianism is the worst development model, except for all others that have been tried.

This is interesting, always fun to see the same work in a different light and perspective. Btw Id say chendian is “retrospective”, which most tech companies do after projects but some do them regularly. I also worked at a trading firm that did retros for big trades
I'd expect most serious web servers support it. I've written one that does (workerd), it's not too hard.

That said, it's tricky to use if the server also does TLS termination... then you need kTLS, which is a much bigger can of worms.
> The FDA's own toxicologist, Dr. Adrian Gross told Congress that without a shadow of a doubt, aspartame can cause brain tumors and brain cancer and that it violated the Delaney Amendment, which forbids putting anything in food that is known to cause cancer.

Except, of course, that's contradicted by the subsequent epidemiological evidence and countless studies. And that's ignoring the complete lack of a plausible causal mechanism.

You can dislike Donald Rumsfeld, but that doesn't mean shit about aspartame.
Heh, touché. The European one should have novamin. The effect isn’t supposed to be drastic. In fact I stopped using novamin as well because the studies I read didn’t show substantial difference vs fluoride toothpaste. I assume your dentist didn’t notice much? I’d still give nano hydroxyapatite a try.
"just Google it" is really off-putting. I found a great infographic for Lemmy...

I find saccharine and stevia both ~bitter. I don't love aspartame, but it's tolerable in a pinch.

Edit: I went to look and guess I'm mistaken below on Sucralose in zero-branded sodas. It sounds like most of these do have aspartame. I guess I just assumed they were doing the same thing as zero-sugar energy drinks since I feel like they started coming to market in roughly the same time frame and used similar zero-sugar marketing.

Sucralose, which is AFAIK what you're getting in most modern zero-branded sodas and 0-20ish calorie energy drinks, is... ~good (to me). I keep liquid concentrate of it at home for coffee and will take a travel bottle with me if I know I'm going somewhere ~crunchy that insists on only raw sugar and stevia.
Because you want to evaluate if you think it's worth using?
Knowing how to build a parser manually will make you much much better at generating, and most importantly debugging, automatically generated parsers.
In a large org, this guy would work with people so high up the food chain that the average IC will never see or talk to. As one of the latter, I've seen a lot of meaningless initiatives spawned by executive-level advice or "coaching" like this. Here's an "Employees are our top priority" poster or "Pick a $20 gift certificate to your favorite national chain store from the company we hired to run the program."

Despair.com nailed it: "If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon."[0]

Gmail was usable on Windows Phone in the built-in mail app, YouTube had some okay third party apps, but in my opinion what really killed Windows Phone was not having Google Maps. People underestimate how critical this app is. Why do you think Apple created their own mapping app out of nowhere? They were terrified that Google could turn off the switch and cripple iOS overnight after watching Windows Phone wither on the vine.

There were additional things that caused Windows Phone to fail, but I really feel Google Maps was the first nail in the coffin.
Nope! From your original post: "The only difference between then and now is that there is a big personality at the top"

Claiming that nothing is different other than Elon's presence implies that Twitter was just as much of a technical dumpster fire as it is now. That is not _at all_ what you're now claiming you said, which is, effectively, "Twitter made slow progress on product priorities". No one disputes that, but it's not what we're discussing here, which is the rapid degradation of service since Musk took over. Maybe those "diversity hires", as you call them, actually contributed to keeping the site running.
Many years ago, Google was very useful without Reddit. There is a reason why they are such a behemoth: they actually used to create very usable tools and services. People wanted to use them, because their products were good. Search, Gmail, Maps, Translate (etc)... all of them are (were) gems.

Don't know if they let search rot or they broke it intentionally. But it got broken regardless of Reddit. Reddit has a lot of info I guess, but it is far from being the only website on the internet. However seemingly google stopped indexing more than the top 150-200 websites on the internet (and even those results are often lacking the searched words).
Almost all foods are sprayed with glyphosate and atrazine which are also known carcinogens. There is basically no way to avoid synthetic chemicals and their harmful effects. Most animal feed on factory farms is even worse so if you eat meat then you also have to worry about bio-amplification[1] of various synthetic chemicals that is in their feed.

When people say "Elon is a cult" this video is exactly what they mean. Elon does something incredibly dumb and you immediately have people just making up, whole cloth, fantastical reasons why it's a 5D chess master plan.

It's comical at this point.

If I go compare prices for luxury electronics like game consoles, phones, computer parts, laptops, and literally anything else, the cost of the item is always much more in Canadian stores than American stores, and it's always more than exchange rate would explain.

And that's before taxes.

And American stores will not ship those sorts of items to Canada.
And while I don't subscribe to the idea of US exceptionalism, in this particular case the US really is exceptional. Historically, international debts were cause for invasion or colonization, and that seems to be repeating with China.
Many of my fun memories of Factorio do involve biters though, both defending against them, and attacking them by building power lines and quickly building and then un-building laser towers near their bases (and later just by having super strong armor and a shotgun).

But I guess a toned down offense on your base, while still allowing the same kind of attack, would work just as well.

Also, the biters are somewhat boring at end of game, it's just the whole world map full of the exact same evolved bases everywhere.
I meant an example of a strategy.
There are options. The D way is to have a `.length` suffix, which makes it act like a struct field. (And `.ptr` if you want to access the pointer part directly.) Another way is to have a special construct, like C's _Generic, to provide the access.

Whoa — that's simple and brilliant. (Obvious in hindsight, I suppose, like many good ideas.) I do something similar intuitively, but I'm going to start looking at the shoulder much more explicitly now.

"Driving school" wasn't a standardized thing back when I got my license — in many places, you can just stroll in, pass the driving test, and be on your way. So I guess I missed all the interesting tips they might share in a formal education environment...

Any other learnings from driving school that you find yourself using often?
Nah. They're more likely to replace the steering wheel & pedals with an Xbox controller so you could drive the car from any location.
Not just databases - we ran into the same issues when we needed a high-performance caching HTTP reverse proxy for a research project. We were just going to drop in Varnish, which is mmap-based, but performance sucked and we had to write our own.

Note that Varnish dates to 2006, in the days of hard disk drives, SCSI, and 2-core server CPUs. Mmap might well have been as good or even better than I/O back then - a lot of the issues discussed in this paper (TLB shootdown overhead, single flush thread) get much worse as the core count increases.
This simulated camera projects the image onto an internal film plane. But blender cannot read an image off a plane directly, so you need to point a blender camera at the film plane to capture the film to the blender output.
> Read up on improved crop yields for subsidence farmers who got access to weather reports through smart phones.

I think that's a poor example. I was getting weather reports on pre-smartphone Nokias.

Farmers could have gotten weather reports on feature phones.
It's frustrating to me how many people are upset at Meta for releasing Llama (not on HN, but mostly off-HN people.)

Like, do you want big tech to control all AI tech? Meta releasing Llama was much better than the alternative.
I didn't see any mention of AI tech -- using embeddings to automatically surface relevant documents, a chat mode to answer questions about them, etc.

It seems like the legal industry always has a great deal of inertia around tools, such that it will be a huge effort to change software, but if something does overcome that inertia I think it's likely to be because of AI features.
Every link just reloads the site. For me, at least.
Ask HN: Resources for CS and software eng for a sharp middle school dropout?
I have an adult friend who wants to learn about CS, mainly for fun but also to improve professional prospects. She dropped out in (American) middle school. She's incredibly sharp but suffers from math trauma and general anxiety about school and academia -- so denser texts, stuff that assumes significant math preparation, and traditional classroom settings or resources intended for those aren't ideal.

She responds very well to videos, shorter written resources, interactive and project based work. The problem we've been finding with videos is that lots of the codefluencer stuff that comes up in a naive YouTube search seems to be either straight up wrong garbage, highly superficial, or expects lots of math preparation.

Any suggestions are appreciated. So far she's doing well with CS50 video lectures and Khan Academy

Also interested in resources for people mentoring folks learning CS/software eng -- that's the position I'm in!
I came here looking for a rust->forth pipleline, are you telling me that isn't available? /s

I've long believed that interlingual glue should occur within llvm at the IR level. Reversing each layer of a compiler feels plausible if complex.
The sources have been posted and you can see for yourself that the climate sensors are located at the tarmac airports, many in the pathway of airplane exhaust jets.

Example:

What you are looking for are “authoritative” analysis from the same in group perpetuating this scam, which is circular reasoning and a logical fallacy.

Many authoritative sources outside of this club are rightly pointing out with hard data that this warming is so overstated, fraught with integrity problems (to put it lightly) and conflicts of interests that the entire narrative needs an audit and inclusion of climate scientists that have been locked out of this debate.
> Couple with a water flosser if possible.

Aren't they generally less effective than flossing with threads?

A compromise between health and taste.

You make a different compromise.

I understand.
This is a pretty old argument and IMO it's far out of date/obsolete.

Taking full control of your I/O and buffer management is great if (a) your developers are all smart and experienced enough to be kernel programmers and (b) your DBMS is the only process running on a machine. In practice, (a) is never true, and (b) is no longer true because everyone is running apps inside containers inside shared VMs. In the modern application/server environment, no user level process has accurate information about the total state of the machine, only the kernel (or hypervisor) does and it's an exercise in futility to try to manage paging etc at the user level.

As Dr. Michael Stonebraker put it: The Traditional RDBMS Wisdom is (Almost Certainly) All Wrong. https://slideshot.epfl.ch/play/suri_stonebraker (See the slide at 21:25 into the video). Modern DBMSs spend 96% of their time managing buffers and locks, and only 4% doing actual useful work for the caller.

Granted, even using mmap you still need to know wtf you're doing. MongoDB's original mmap backing store was a poster child for Doing It Wrong, getting all of the reliability problems and none of the performance benefits. LMDB is an example of doing it right: perfect crash-proof reliability, and perfect linear read scalability across arbitrarily many CPUs with zero-copy reads and no wasted effort, and a hot code path that fits into a CPU's 32KB L1 instruction cache.
A proper "beginners guide" shouldn't be this long, IMO. It should just explain what Lemmy is in one sentence (ie, an open source clone of Reddit), and then provide links to one or two large instances with open signups.
I loved that bit too. Especially because when you do know how to code, you still do the same exact thing but some things are probably less verbose. Still lots of spaghetti involved occasionally.
I think you're really misapplying labor politics to a casual website. I'd even go as far to say that comparing being a reddit mod to share cropping to be tasteless and offensive! I wouldn't say that opinion in public with my face & name associated with it, that's for sure.

Mods can Just Quit. They can go self-host. Nobody is making them use Reddit. This isn't a labor situation where anyone's livelihood is at stake.
Hopefully these silly experiments won't result in a change to the deliciousness of Edamame. Otherwise I'll be pretty mad.
This is a very interesting development in dental care. Looking forward to seeing the results of the clinical trials.
