Do you just use virtual box for something like this?

I split my time between two places, and game infrequently which means my SFF gaming PC is often still in the box until I need it, at which point Windows updates can waste the time I had for gaming.

Would love a way to use my laptop to keep some Windows VM snapshot up to date. Windows has ruined more gaming sessions than it’s provided for me lately.

Dating apps are so, so bad now. Not that they were great before, but I think people actually took Tinder somewhat seriously as a place to get to know people for the first couple years. Now it's just become an ever-more expensive game that preys on how imbalanced dating is between men and women that I believe is due to these apps and the internet in general (I'm sure there's other issues for gay people but I'm talking about the use case I'm familiar with).

The gender ratio is like 1:10, so even non-conventionally attractive women can get on there and get a few dozen matches in a day (if not 99+ if you're even moderately attractive), and any guy who isn't in the top 1% of looks/money/clout/influence is lucky to get a few matches per day. So the men are making any desperate attempt to stand out from the crowd of other men they're competing with for women's attention, meanwhile every day I see viral tweets of women screenshotting and posting men's "cringe" Tinder openings, telling them to try harder. I don't think a lot of women even realize what dating apps are like from the other side, because I've heard plenty of instances where a girl helps her guy friend make a dating profile thinking she can help him get setup on a date, and are baffled when they can't get him matches or conversations with anyone.

And one thing that's not obvious unless you do your research, is if you're getting swiped right or matched with frequently enough, the Tinder algorithm will just stop showing you to people with no indication you're essentially shadowbanned. Supposedly you can reset the algorithm every few months by deleting your account and recreating it, but apparently if you do this too many times you'll get permanently shadowbanned and won't be able to use Tinder unless you get a new phone number. And considering Match.com owns Tinder and every other major dating website/app, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd use a shared list of the "unlovables."

It really feels like it's cranked to 11 a system where men have to desperately try and stand out amongst a ginormous crowd of other men, and women have to sort through this ginormous crowd of men who may or may not be genuine, not wanting to "settle" because there might be a better one in there somewhere. It's clearly not working anyone, and dating is just so exhausting because of it.

> What better alternatives do you recommend?

Install packages only from the operating system's package repository or from another trusted repository.

If the software installer is only available as a script, download the script manually and check its contents instead of piping it to a root shell (and maybe run it in a VM instead). That way, you can know if the code is trying to do something nefarious. Piping to Bash can also be detected server side, so a server can serve malicious code when it is piped and good code when it is not.

"A mistaken belief is that AC is more efficient than DC. What AC is is more easy to transform from one voltage to another (until somewhat recently). That makes it easier to run AC at 1 MV and then step it down to 240V for residential applications."

DC is also used because a conductor can carry more current per kg than AC due to not having any skin loss. You can use smaller wires, less metal, less dollars.

Note: I have TSA Precheck and CLEAR.

I'm not sure how someone could get through with the incorrect identity unless their eye scan results in the record of someone with the same name.

The process for CLEAR is:

1. Stand next to the kiosk for recognition. For whatever reasons, the machines always seem to have problems with me, but eventually get a good scan and bring up the correct record.

2. Scan your boarding pass at the kiosk, which (supposedly) validates that you're on a flight at this airport and that your name matches what's on the boarding pass.

3. You're escorted to the TSA agent, the CLEAR agent vouches for you, and you just wave your boarding pass in the air to the TSA agent (no scanning).

Often (including this week), I get flagged to show my identification to the CLEAR agent and to the TSA agent. Ultimately, I could have gone through less hassle with simply the TSA Precheck line.

Many times the TSA Precheck line is actually faster. However, when that line is backed up (usually at certain airports like DCA), having CLEAR is a winner. YMMV

> OK, so it is a coherent argument then and just one you don't agree with?

No, it would only be coherent if you also accept the other premises I put forth (which I'm fairly certain you don't, but you haven't really acknowledged or debated them so hard to say for sure, suffice to say they are not commonly help premises).

> The collapse of a portion of society is ok with you, just not the collapse of all of society?

Yes I absolutely favor freedom of individual choice over preventing all individuals from making choices that may not be best for them (because, again, the individual should have primacy over determining what is best for them). Clearly. There are also very obvious solutions to this problem: regulated distribution (w/ heroin for instance where folks can be assured clean drugs that are properly portioned for their use case to reduce risk of OD) and readily available treatment (if users want to stop there are plenty of options to help them do so, we just need to reappropriate resources currently used in a failed attempt at prevention to make treatment more universally available).

> where is the retention of prime control over their bodies?

This is nonsense. Addiction is indeed very powerful, but in our society we still consider these individuals responsible for their actions. Being in the throes of heroin addiction is not a valid plea to escape a murder conviction, and indeed it shouldn't be.

Addiction is simply part of the human condition. This would be true even if you completely removed scheduled drugs from all possible use. We cope with that best by treating it not attempting to ban it.
Impossible not to read in Morgan Freeman's voice. This might be the best comment I have ever seen on HN. Thank you.
IMHO the one downside with sum types in a performance-oriented systems programming language (or as I prefer to call them 'tagged unions' because that makes it clearer how they actually look like in memory) is that they are inherently cache-unfriendly, because they always take up as much space as the largest wrapped type (plus 8 bytes for the tag). When you have an array of those you need to be aware of the potential 'waste' between array items.

(now of course an automatic transformation into a structure-of-arrays would be pretty cool, I actually wonder what Zig's MultiArrayList does with tagged unions).

PS: in general I agree though, for instance in Typescript they are fantastic, but there I usually don't care much about memory layout and performance.

"Country overshoot day" is actually stupid. For example, country overshoot day of Bangladesh is "none", making it an example for everybody. It's one of most densely populated countries in the world. If all countries were like Bangladesh, it would cause massive issues in addition to what we have now.

This is metric where you basically divide ecological impact by population. Have more population and you get better on this metric. Go figure.

Raising money != spending it.

Ideally they are a paired activity, but issuing debt can be done with no corresponding spending. And spending can be done with no corresponding (exactly) debt or taxes.

And taxes are gathered by the executive, and the amount of taxes actually gathered is also independent of either body (as they’re a function of tax rules and executive effectiveness * economic activity, etc.).
That's correct, but if you are, for example, multiplying two 1024x1024 matrices (typical for ML loads) then you need to perform roughly 1B operations on 1M numbers. There is no need for loading lot of data. So we can do without fast memory in this case, can't we? Hopefully the cache and registers of GPU can handle this.

> instill a work ethic

That's what the olds always say about the youngs. That's why my Gen X cohort were called slackers.

Here's some relevant quote mining from a 2009 book written in the pre-pandemic era (around https://archive.org/details/moralunderground00dods/page/32/m... ):

] When turning to complex problems facing workers and their families, however, the discussion was about "character," work ethic, and values, not a by-product of eroded wages and family instability that follows. ...

] Some employers took this tack further. A Denver employer saw work problems as reflecting overall character deficits, particularly in working mothers. "Their work ethic doesn't seem to be that high. It's like they don't expect to have to do as much [or they are lazy]." A Denver print shop supervisor suggested the job turnover experienced by low- wage mothers was unrelated to the constantly changing hours of work and child care crises. No, it was self-induced: "They have a lack of work ethic. So they make sure that they don't work out [on the job]." ...

] The lack-of- work-ethic cliche was widespread and provided a comfortable refrain for those employers who blamed workers, not wages, for problems associated with poverty. ... Bringing up work ethics seemed to shift the conversation into one where the details of pay and cost of living could be ignored because it became all about character.

] A retail store employer in Denver agreed. "I would say about them [entry-level employees] they don't have any discipline. . . . They don't follow up, they're not responsible." A Milwaukee cleaning service owner discussed the lack of "punctuality" that he saw as a reflection of low- wage parents' lack of a desire to work, as indicated by the fact that they were "jumping from job to job . . . they have fear of working and don't really want to work."

Now that I'm quote mining, the complaint "The shortcomings run the gamut from general knowledge, including how to make change at a register" is also not new. From 1996, https://archive.org/details/observer1996nort_14/page/10/mode... :

] “Some aspects of education are not as good as they were 40 or 50 years ago. Students know all about computers today, but don’t know how to make change for a dollar.”

From The 1970s, https://archive.org/details/ERIC_ED121988/page/n33/mode/2up?...

] It was very surprising to discover how many students really don't know how to make change

I don't think it's been empirically demonstrated that shame-based public information campaigns contributed to the drop in smoking as much as tax increases, bans in restaurants and other semi-public spaces, and changing preferences (eg, adoption of ecigs and marijuana products).

CF (like many other companies) are responsive only when the complaint is posted on HN. Regardless, the issue wasn't solved, it came back within a few hours.

I've tried raising this issue on their forum, where I've failed to get the attention of the engineering teams, and while posting the ray ID should be sufficient, all you'd really get is clueless, unpaid volunteers asking you questions in circles like "what website do you see this on" (everywhere), "are you using adblock" (no, and Adblock has never blocked their Turnstile scripts) and "what's your user agent?" (the default Chromium one).

If I had to hazard a guess, it's their bot management script seeing "Linux" in the user agent and detecting missing video codecs (which is par for the course for standard Chromium builds), and thinking it's a headless browser. Between the the fact that differences between the JS runtime of Chromium and Chromium headless are very small these days, and the ClientHello permutation has destroyed bot management vendors' ability to distinguish different browser builds, they decided blocking all Linux users using Chromium was fair enough.
Yeah imo we are talking less about shame in particular about cultural norms.

A country like Japan is largely homogenous for good or for ill and their rate of immigration is low so newcomers assimilate.

The US is much more heterogenous, especially in large metros. There is subsequently less overlap in cultural norms. That comes with both benefits and downsides such as topics like drugs and gay marriage and many more.

I read something too about stable cultures have the rate of newcomers that is low enough that they can learn the cultural norms from the legacy folks vs. becoming more of a free for all because almost everyone is new so the blind are leading the blind. I think it was in reference to events like: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Paths in the US are usually multi-use. Almost no where has a dedicated bike lane, and if they do it's just a line on the side of the road. If you're going to be speeding along at 20mph the side of the road works just fine.

> Nesting in CSS became broadly supported in Chromium and other evergreen browsers a few months ago.

Firefox hasn’t shipped it yet. https://caniuse.com/css-nesting shows it landing in 117 next month.

> Even now, it’s not supported by older versions of iOS/mobile Safari which could easily be 15-20% of a large US based websites’ traffic.

Yeah, actual global support is probably still below ⅔—caniuse.com is showing global support at 72.89%, and its methodology is hopelessly broken for mobile browsers (treats all mobile Chrome/Android WebView as the latest version, which is wildly wrong), quite apart from excluding browsers that block the StatCounter script, leading to particularly heavy undercounting of Firefox and general undercounting of more conservative or unusual configurations; so the true numbers on newish features are always much worse than it suggests.

For these sorts of features, if all browsers ship around the same time, you’ll normally want to wait for about another two years before you start depending on it. (When shipped out of sync, it depends—you’ll encounter two-year-old Safari more commonly than six-month-old desktop Chrome, for example.)
Absolutely, the rise of no-code tools like MVP Recipes on Notion is a game-changer for startups, especially for non-technical founders. It significantly reduces the barriers to entry, enabling more people to turn their ideas into tangible products or services. This trend democratizes the tech landscape and encourages more creative and diverse solutions. I believe it will continue to shape the startup ecosystem, fostering innovation and inclusivity. As this movement continues, we'll likely see an even greater surge in entrepreneurship and new, unique startups.

Japan often faces claims of especially harsh work culture with terrible hours/overtime expectations; I would expect that to contribute more than things like grandmothers being cruel. (Being unable to keep up with work culture ?=> perceived burdensomeness ?=> less social connection?)

I'm a little worried that this will become more common in aging countries as they place higher demands on the working-age population. There's that saying about Japan's social issues being a look at the issues the rest of us will have in a couple decades.
