Huh.

Well, OK then. @superdug keeps posting and responding and seems to be acting like a human, so maybe it's just me.

There is a chap in the Hitchhiker's Guide fan club who I've known online for >20Y who is a native English speaker, but his comments and posts online read almost like bot-generated text. Most of them, I have to ask him to explain, often 3 or 4 times, until he can produce something coherent to other humans. His grammar and spelling are perfectly fine but his mind works weirdly and he writes about references to passing thoughts that occurred to him and is not able to recognise that others do not share those random associations. Some of my friends have got so irritated with it, they've just blocked him.

Perhaps this is a case a little like that? It makes almost no sense to me, but apparently, it does to you, so maybe the failing is on my end.
A mostly disappointing meal for everyone involved. If you know someone is picky ahead of time the meal can be steered towards a place that's accommodating. If, however, everyone is surprised by the picky eater then you're left with some disappointing choices. You either ruin everyone's expectations by changing to a different restaurant at the last minute, or you watch the picky eater try to make the best of what they probably consider a bad situation. Maybe they try something new and hope they like it, but most likely they order the blandest thing they can and everyone gets to feel a little bad about the person ordering a bowl of plain noodles for dinner so they can all eat at the place they planned on/wanted to.
That's it- just needle, thread, and scissors.

Most mowers I had growing up were two-stroke engines, that had oil mixed in with the gas. So they never needed an oil change.

Except that the law has come to terms (outside the UK) with the possibility of peaceful knife ownership, whereas the law around Tor and such things is still in the "probably non-technically savvy judge has heard scary terms around Tor and wants to be on the safe side" stage.
It's not up to me to dictate the morality of others. Although I could see such an action as reasonable even though I disagree.

I would add "Palo Alto Syndrome" -- It's where you show up on Sand Hill Rd. with a business plan only to discover VC's don't want to look at "reasonable" plans to build a 20M company in 3 years for a 500k investment, but want to invest in "outlandish" plans to build a 200B company in 6 months with a 100M investment.
Downtown Ithaca most likely would have been just as vibrant without that law. It's a town with a higher median household income than the US as a whole, plus two colleges, both of which cost >$50k a year to attend. The students, especially of Cornell, are a great and continuing source of relatively price-insensitive consumers.

Chapel Hill, NC has a Target smack dab in the middle of downtown, and everyone would agree that it's an idyllic college town with a wonderful culture.
I get the criticism which essentially boils down to, it's turning what used to be a "bazaar" into a "cathedral". Instead of the init system, udev, dbus, logging, networking, dhcp, run levels, cron, login system, etc. being separate systems bound together with duct tape, they're now one coherent system layer called systemd. I personally really like that, but I get why others wouldn't.

I don't get the outrage here about this decision though. If you were relying on systemd's sysvinit script support, you were already using systemd. And systemd .service files are strictly better than sysvinit scripts if you're already running systemd.
In the evangelical setting of the 90's, where TV preachers were openly broadcast over the airwaves, they routinely claimed everything was "the mark of the beast".

Credit cards, Dungeons and Dragons, Pokemon, "new world orders", the United Nations. All of these things were tools of the devil, marking your soul for eternal damnation.

I get the sense they would have had a field day with Worldcoin.

I can hear it now. "The Antichrist is taking control of the global finance system. When you choose to scan your eyes and participate in his world instead of the kingdom of heaven, you surrender your soul to the devil. And that's a place where even Jesus Christ himself cannot save you. Choosing to scan your eyes - that God himself gave you - is swearing allegiance to Lucifer and his armies on this earth. Choosing Worldcoin is making a personal choice of eternal damnation."
Thanks for the clarification, this makes complete sense for what you're trying to do.

It's a little sad that there isn't a good solution for this yet though.

It’s okay to have inequality as long as the floor is sufficiently high.

We literally have an obesity problem among America’s poorest people. Which speaks to having a decently high standard compared to the past, where being poor literally meant you starved to death. Similarly, hospitals will never turn you away in this country. Meaning you can show up at the emergency room and have life saving surgery and the worst case is you’ll get a bill in the mail, instead of dying in the streets (there are countries where this still happens).

I’m not saying it’s perfect, I think the biggest problem has to do with mentally ill and drug addicted homeless, who don’t have the mental capacity to take care of themselves. But I do agree with GP that the conversation has more nuance.
There are few enough of us left that if we spread out far enough we will only jostle each other 20ish times per year for, oh, six seasons.

they make up for it somewhat with pleasant looking pallets, those big red plastic things, vs raw rough looking wood. I get a sense Target has less downtime with this inventory layover sort of thing. Walmart can have pallets out that people are expected to pick over and shop on and which need to be restocked. Also Target just has more cushioned margins for their aisles where the footprint of a pallet has less impact in your sense of space than Walmarts where a significant percentage of the aisle is occupied by these monstrosities.
Great to read that. You can notice new features after using a while. Some of them are hidden initially to keep new user focused on primary features.
I was very surprised these weren't piezo or turbine based, but rather harvesting voltage differences in the water droplets itself.

Could a piezo collect current like this, on a solar panel sized sheet? I'd imagine it's not an insignificant amount of power during a downpour.

There are a couple of categories, and let's apply it to Mindfulness according to TFA.

1) People who don't actually know what Mindfulness is, other than secondhand sources, word of mouth, etc.

2) People who've tried Mindfulness, and they know a little more than (1) due to direct experience, and possibly a minister who guided them.

3) People who were born into a family whose members fervently pratices Mindfulness, teach Mindfulness to others, and promote it in public.

Now let's see why people hate Mindfulness or say it's not for them.

(1) may say that it sounds weird or foreign, it can't be efficacious, it's too abstract, because they don't know what it's about.

(2) may say that it was hard to concentrate, they kept getting distracted, the classes were expensive, they traveled too far, they didn't feel it working fast enough, it was boring, too spiritual / not spiritual enough.

(3) perhaps their family life was bad, they were neglected or abused, their family members seemed to care more about Mindfulness than this person, and being that "Family" and "Mindfulness" are inextricably linked in their mind, they must reject Mindfulness because it's tarnished by the behavior of its adherents.

So I'd say, don't attack someone who is acting as an evangelist for something, because perhaps they act in good faith. Particularly in HN, this thread is optional for you and me, and so if you feel like it's proseltyzing, just flag it and move on, don't attack a guy because he believes that Emacs and Lisp are the best apps to install on your Linux machine.
people often give this "just so" explanation, but it doesn't quite add up to me. if it's really so inconvenient to go to the consolidated Walmart location a few towns over, why don't you see shops start to reopen on main street? I suspect the root cause has more to do with cars than a particular megastore.
Why does Apple let your device work against your own interests? If an app developer wants your phone to detect you committing "fraud", that should be their problem.
Scam Altman strikes again
The quaint downtown stores were also probably open from 9-5, maybe 9-12 on Saturday, closed Sunday. That was fine in the 1950s when housewives didn't work and could go shopping during the day. Today, nobody's going to want to take time off work to go buy bread, eggs, and socks. They want to go to Walmart on Sunday afternoon, or on their way home after work.
Apple’s built in apps also require you to explicitly give them permission.
Probably myself. I am pretty much always content.

Though, I get the sense that because I am chill and not manic, others sometimes think "something is up" when I'm just thinking about black holes or something. The key point here may be "the happiest person you know may not be obvious." I tend to equate manic happiness with stress and anxiety.

Some perhaps key points:

- I constantly run into challenges and roadblocks in life, but acknowledge they are a normal part of growth. I recently read the popular book The Obstacle Is The Way and it felt like somebody was stealing parts of my life philosophy out of my head.

- I'm not really into "gamification", but I tend to treat everything like a game or a puzzle to solve, especially hardships.

- Often things don't happen to you. They happen regardless of you. Or you caused it, so fix it.

- Exercise to think and de-stress. Often, no music or podcasts, to force the former.

- I used a lot of hallucinogens in my younger years and had a few key trips that really framed life and reality for me. Rather than attempt to explain and fumble it, I'll point you to another book that does a better job of it: Illusions by Richard Bach.

It's something that I noticed a long time ago in various subcultures that focus on preparing for some variant of "end times".

I think that if you've put a ton of time, money, and effort into preparing for a thing to happen, you begin to want that thing to happen (even if unconsciously). If it doesn't, then all that time, money, and effort was wasted.

it has a negative impact on their brand perception and top line growth. Except when the economy blips into recession their growth seemingly caps at 2-4% a year, sometimes essentially remaining flat.

I always thought the secret weapon to attracting wealthier shoppers is their far too under-capitalized and under-utilized Sam's Club model that is similar to Costco, but not Costco. I think thats what they should have invested in far more to attract the wealthier demographic. Most upper middle class+ people I know shop at Costco varying from often to religiously. Same with Trader Joes, actually.

I always thought Walmart was the "lesser" brand personally, but HQ never seemed to grasp this
As someone else has pointed out, this is only a deprecation at this point.

For comparison, support for `cgroups v1` which is being removed in this release, was described as "legacy", and to be removed in a later version, happened with systemd v233 released in March 2017. That's more than 6 years between deprecation and removal.

Also, `cgroups v1` systems were marked as "tainted" starting in v248 released in March 2021.

Based on that, you've probably got a few years yet before your sysv scripts actually start breaking, and you'll probably get a more visible heads-up a couple of years before it actually happens.
As somebody who has been diagnosed with ADHD (and struggled mightily at times) ...yes. This.

Once you get the job, most workplaces simply just want you to get the job done and are fairly flexible.

Need to wear noise canceling headphones or hole up in a conference room to write some code in a distraction-free environment, etc.? Been in the industry for 25 years and that's never been an issue.

Mentioning a label like ADHD to an employer is IMO useless at best and career suicide at worst. Most commonly it sounds like you're making excuses. Best case scenario is that they're sympathetic, but, the label "ADHD" still does not tell them what you actually need. Even if your manager has diagnosed ADHD as well that doesn't mean her needs are the same as yours. So why even mention the label? Tell them what you need -- or better yet, when it's feasible, just do it the way you need to do it.

For example, working on a teeny tiny laptop monitor exacerbates my ADHD. Shuffling windows around really breaks my flow. So I like big and/or multiple monitors. If I have a workplace tech budget I use it on big-ass monitors or I simply bring my own. There are cheap, lightweight, portable 1080p USB-C monitors now and I can fit two of them in my laptop bag alongside my laptop. So by buying $200 worth of USB-C monitors on Amazon I have solved this particular hurdle for myself.

There are physical and mental health diagnoses for which I wouldn't give this sort of advice. And yeah, the world should be different.
Having been a Red Gate customer in 2005, I decided to take a look at their current offerings. Based on https://www.red-gate.com/products/ it seems like they have started to look at other database. The newest products seem to have support for at least 3-4 databases. They are maybe caught between rewriting a legacy product and building out the features in their successor products.

After reading some of the science on auditory perception it seems you are wrong. If you perceive a signal in the left ear and then get a louder signal on the right ear a few milliseconds later you will perceive this as one sound coming from the right. The precedence effect breaks down.

> what do most people here dislike about systemd now

Microsoft / Poettering controlling PID 1 development. As simple as that.

It could be better on technical merits (I'm 100% convinced systemd ain't the be-all end-all of init/services scripts / PID1 though), I still hate Poettering's attitude. And that guy proved all the haters right by going to work for Microsoft: it's the ultimate fuck you to people who believed in Linux since the beginning.

True but we're talking about juries who are essentially random members of the public and are far from guaranteed to spot a fallacy or buy that it is a fallacy even when pointed out. I think a big difference to them could be how cars are socially normalised but tor is not. There's a good chunk of the population who would hear the car version and think "that's ridiculous, I drive a car!" but hear the tor version and think "that's a strange and alien thing to me, definitely something a suspicious person would do".
I don't know. I think the best approach would be to ban surveillance capitalism, (e.g. make gathering personal data illegal), and then new business models would fall out out of the new situation. More likely, old business models would re-appear: selling ads to relevant publications (e.g. video game ads on video game websites), instead of targeted to users; selling products direct to customers instead of funding via ads (this is currently difficult because the surveillance business model out-competes it).

Another approach could be to break up the big tech companies into a bunch of tiny pieces, and hope something more ethical comes out of the more distributed market power & natural competition.
Seems like its an android emulator attached to a real phone number.

One use could be to run something like whatsapp to have a virtual US presence if in another country, or maybe have a business number separate from your personal number and use whatsapp web interface to read/send messages.
I was at a talk given by the president of Embraer-X (that's an Embraer subsidiary that looks into these riskier ventures), and he got into the details of how they validated their business plan of using these vehicles for urban transportation.

They offered helicopter rides to one of Rio's major airports and charged R$100 per passenger (according to him, that's an accurate estimate of future prices once they make their eVTOL) at a loss just to see if there was demand. They got booked the entire year in advance.
Imagine sama had put all this energy, capital, and relationship capital into fusion power, instead of WorldCoin. Beyond Helion.

It would be easier to accept him as someone who is genuinely altruistic. Instead, he turns out to be just another self-serving 'tech' bro.

I write 'tech' because clearly this guy does not actually care about pushing technology forwards for human good -- which is the cause, in my view, of all real technologists. It's about himself, just as it is with the great Technoking.

> social capital matters and reputation matters. Of course those are disadvantages to misbehavers.

This is something that many young adults have forgotten, because it's increasingly more trendy to move around a lot in your 20s while developing your career. Nobody cares in a big city if you're an asshole, because there's a million other people to associate with and most likely the asshole and everyone around them aren't going to still be there in five years.

The downside of the small town social setting is that it can be cliquey.

I upvoted but I won't tell you why either.
While you're not wrong, you also can't really ignore the knock-on negative effects of a major national chain moving in, undercutting local commerce, and piping a community's money away to a massive conglomerate. Local chains or independent shops are going to be reinvesting a higher percentage of their revenue in the local community.

There's also the fact that Walmart is infamous for its vampiric strategy of stringing workers along on part-time schedules that guarantee poverty-level income to avoid benefit overhead costs, relying on local and national social safety net programs to keep their workers afloat. This sort of workforce and benefits management strategy isn't nearly as prevalent among independent and small-chain businesses.
