IMHO this is such a huge sign that therapy has no scientific rigor. If there was a clinically proven methodology it wouldn't matter so much who performs it. But with the therapists I've seen they all just seem to be applying their own pet theories to what's wrong instead of drawing from anything like an actual education.

Of course this means you need to try a bunch of different therapists to see which one works. It's basically random chance whether they can offer something that resonates with you. You might as well ask a Tarot deck for help.

You have to want it to succeed and do some work to make it function the way you want. It does work if you care to put some time into it when you're /learning/ how it all works. I did, works great for me but isn't my nirvana. Just another useful tool.

>So, eh, i don't think Eclipse CDT is it :-P.

Don't confuse, "I didn't get it to work first time with very little effort" "does not work" Also note that like any complex tool, once you've worked it out, which takes time, you don't have to do that again. Like the people who say vi is garbage because you can't quit.

If you don't spend the time and give up early, that's fine too and shows you how much you do or don't want these things and /any/ answer there is by definition correct.

I should have written I don't really know anything about.

According to your link scripting was only available from '98, at which point Lua and Python were already around, but then I don't know how viable that would have been. Funny you say that about ex, because I find running ex commands from vimscript the most clunky thing about it.

In my opinion the least friction for the ecosystem would have been to follow neovim and adapt Lua.
Parent of 4, here. I think you just need to change your POV: when you think of it, it doesn't make any sense to choose to have kids...less free time, less sleep, more expenses, more commitments and the list goes on. But then think of how many things we choose to do which don't make sense, but we still do because we want to.

Having kids will give you a whole new perspective about life, IMHO, about love (mostly, there's no other way you can feel that kind of love), about learning to say NO just because you start valuing your time more, maybe even taking more care of your health, because you want to be there, you want to be in good shape and having the energy they need.

When feeling negative sentiments/resentment popping up, think this: it wasn't their's decision to be born, it was yours, so they are not guilty of X. Having kids is an egoist decision we make as parents, but then a lot of parents blame their kids for this or that. Not their fault, not anyone's fault really. It is what it is, as with most things in life.

Just take care of your sleep, of the relationship with your partner (this is huge! otherwise the family will crumble as will your relationship) and enjoy the ride with an open mind. Savour the little things, for as much as it is trite rhetoric, they will soon be gone, replaced by different ones, but you'll have only one first smile, one first word, one first step, etc, for each kid, and those you want to cherish. It's a choice we have to make with everything in our lives: complain about everything going wrong/missing, or simply living and enjoying what you have in the moment.

It will be a lot of work, but more fun than you could ever imagine. Good luck!

DDoS attacks basically are still a thing because there's nobody really incentivized to solve it.

The people harmed by them are too small to fix it, and the people big enough make more money selling DDoS mitigation.

From what I understand you can avoid many DDoS just by going IPv6 only, because DDoS mainly depends on unpatched shitmachines from the old days.
A license controls what OTHERS can do with your source. You, the copyright holder, can do anything you want.
There's a lot of hate any Firefox and the "blessed apps." But come on, chrome and Safari don't sorry add-ons at all!

I know there are other apps that support add-ons but the fact is that Firefox is __the only__ "mainstream" browser that does this (quotes because it's 0.25% in the US, as the 4th most popular, behind Samsung fucking Internet).

It's popular to hate on Firefox, but this is the nerdiest of nerd issues and if we're being honest, all this has accomplished in the last decade is a decrease in market share and keeping Safari and (more so) Chrome dictate the Internet and user experience. Firefox being so low puts no pressure on Chrome to add add-ons. Firefox being so low just means Chrome can continue pushing the ad first Internet.

Yeah, it's fun to complain, but which do you hate more? That Firefox only provides 80-90% of what you want (when major competitors provide __0%__), or Google dictating the Internet (like AMP)? Complain, but maybe tone it down a bit. This is not the holy war you want.
Nope, youre right. With the Firefox Quantum update they took away extension support with the exception of a handful of white listed extensions.

Honest question.. have you used dev containers? Because these seem like solved problems.

Bind mounts let you easily move files in/out of the container (and are already set up by devcontainers). And the whole point is to _not_ access programs on the host, you want that isolation so that the environment is reproducible and everything you need to build is defined in the dev container.

It just needs your build toolchain and libs.. you don't need to use the shell from the container to run random unix utils or curl for instance.

what the fuck is wrong with this author????

>developers care more about software’s access and ease of use than the purity of its license

how does that make any sense?

if access and ease of use is important, why the hell is "all rights reserved" mean oracle can fuck you in the ass backwards twice over? or "rightsholders" go after piratebay because they fucking copied a song? what the fuck!!!

this licensing discussion goes both ways. If i am not "allowed" to do commercial work on a particular LLM, i will not use it. If it stops me from copying or modifying the same, i will not use it.
open source does not prevent that. it just says "do not restrict freedom any more than what you were given". thats it.

if you try to make this into a stupid discussion about "ethics" and "nobody cares" then why not do away with DMCA?

Very tangential:

Gerrit also stores some of its configs in a git repo. I was setting up a new instance, but couldn't get Admin permissions because the way my auth front-end didn't play well with the docker image's assumptions.

Gerrit already does a lot of its work via non-standard references. For example, you don't push to a branch, `refs/heads/foo`, you push to a separate `refs/for/foo` namespace that creates the review.

Similarly, Group config is stored in the All-Users git repo [1], but in references created after a UUID, in `refs/groups/UU/UUID`.

I ended up having to exercise the plumbiest of plumbing commands [2] to create a new commit from scratch (from a tree, from the index, from blobs), to update the group ref to add myself to the Administrators group (this, of course, requires a local shell and permissions on the Gerrit host). It was a great way to exercise what I had learned in Git from the Bottom Up [3]

Not claiming it's wrong, especially because it looks like this is an important organ re: immune response, but

> It is typically removed due to issues with the organ itself, such as thymus cancer

Isn't having had cancer the best predictor of having cancer in the future? And so if the main cause of Thymus removal is cancer, seeing cancer after its removal is not very statistically significant?

> If you work in the embedded space for a large OEM, ODM, or integration house

> Containers? 30+ years at this with 10 major contracts with big companies (and dozens of smaller ones) and I've only seen one company use containers and that was for virtual prototyping.

There are _a_lot_ of small and medium size businesses working with embedded devices with limited on-site resources, and those will usually use external contractors. In that case containers are very useful to share an Automated Test environment. The alternative is a long back and forth or spending time on-site supporting teams with wildly varying skill levels.

Also as someone else mentioned when an old client asks for a new feature, the ability to take a snapshot in time is a huge time saver, rather than trying to replicate that build environment from scratch.
From a linked article [0] there's a screenshot of Bram's github activity and this text:

In the message, his family made it clear that Bram was ill (‘a medical condition that progressed quickly over the last few weeks‘).

Google won't release an "X-killer" until Google is broken up by anti-monopoly regulators. Until then, google will let millions of dollars of easy money go by in order to avoid giving regulators examples of google using it's control of the internet to replicate products and push the incumbent companies out of business. This is why all google features are half-baked and killed. Fear of regulators.
> VPOTUS assuming the presidency absolutely is a new administration. Hard to see how anyone could claim otherwise.

I am not claiming otherwise. I'm saying: it doesn't matter if the last president dies.

> Consider Andrew Johnson, who wasn't even the same party as Lincoln. He was impeached by Republicans and in his run for presidency got his votes mostly from Southern whites. He pardoned basically all confederates. The murder of Lincoln definitely was a violent transfer of power from an abolitionist to a Southern apologist.

What violence occurred during the transition of power? Who tried to stop the political processes?
Obvious caveats:

GPON networks are often vendor locked. This means you cannot just buy any random SFP ONU and expect it work.

Even if you do get it to work, no ISP will offer you any kind of support if you do this. Some might even take to it poorly, if they find out.

Generally, the best option is to ask your ISP if they offer other ONU models and choose from those.

> Having seen quite a few stories like this about WD and sub brands, I'm tempted to just return it for a refund and go elsewhere...

The thing is, where? We don't really have a choice, it's either WD(and sub) or Seagate(and sub) with horror stories on both end. I had a WD red fail 3 weeks after the warranty period, while also having an older WD red that outlived it, chugging along for 6 years now. Now I run a mixes pool of WD and Seagate because ultimately, I don't trust either of them.
Generally yes. Especially the grocery store is constantly advertising hundreds of items, and I've looked at their ad pages more than once. And it's pretty hard to find houses outside of advertising platforms, and I used to watch enough TV that I'd seen ads for every clothing store and every car before I had a chance to find them on my own.
Show HN: Vagrunt, a fork of Vagrant with a MIT license still

really sums it all up in light of these big changes, and simply put the big picture (aka licensing) is what people build and bet their professional lives on.
I assume you live in the US. In Europe, streets are usually narrower, parking spots even more so, in urban areas there will be more pedestrians crossing the road randomly, and many people don't even possess a driver's license in the first place, or don't own a car. My original comment was just to point out that getting rid of clutter isn't as easy as "just take a van and dump the clutter in a landfill."
> you can store encrypted data on the chain. if i sell you a movie, i can give you the encrypted movie and use your public key to store an encrypted message with the key to open the movie. that way i can use a smart contract on the chain to track if you opened the movie.

That's not going to work. Any encrypted material in the blockchain is public. Any algorithm in it is also public. So I can just execute the code by hand, skipping any tracking code.

> if the signature is on the chain and the chain is used to verify your ownership claim, then how exactly does the chain have no effect?

This is all contingent on everyone caring about what the chain says. If I get hold of the movie and the key, the chain may say you own the movie, but I don't care. Now what?

> the purpose that it serves is to track the ownership of an asset. sure, you can make a copy of it. but you don't own that copy.

Movies are sold by the millions. Is the idea here making a million different watermarked copies of any given movie? If so, the watermark is the important bit, so what do you want the blockchain for? Just point to the court that John Smith has a movie that was tagged as having been sold to Joe Bloggs, and thus isn't his.

> if i discover that you made a copy, i can charge you with theft (see piracy) because i'll use the chain as proof of ownership and i can prove that you don't own your copy.

1. I bet it's going to be fun to explain all the details of the blockchain to the court and to convince them that this is indeed a tight proof of ownership.

2. If the blockchain is the ultimate arbiter of who owns what, then as soon as I manage to hack you, I can steal all your stuff, become its rightful owner in the view of both the blockchain and the law, and then sue you.

> It's too bloated for most cases

Bloated how? Which cases?

Any C app (or even Python app, since python libs like to depend on C libraries) with non-trivial dependencies get very annoying to configure across a range of distros (even worse if you include MacOS and/or Windows).

`sudo apt install libpng-dev` vs `sudo dnf libpng-devel` etc.

Rather than document and test all those different configs, devcontainers is a really easy way to avoid this pain for example applications or ones that will only ever ship to one distro/OS. And if you're running on Linux atleast, there's literally no overhead (containers are just processes tagged with C-groups, after all).

I don't think so.

I suppose I can understand why people who feel strongly that the OSI definition is perfect (or at least extremely good) are very intent on protecting it, whereas I see it as flawed and am thus less concerned about this fracturing. So I understand your perspective upon reflection, though I honestly have a lot of trouble imagining holding it myself.

I hope beginners don't get the impression that all this is needed for developing in C. If you want a free (as in beer) and 'good enough' multi-platform solution without tinkering, just use VSCode with 2 extensions:

- https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscod...

This gives you a cmake-based IDE-like setup that works across Linux, macOS and Windows (and also allows to build and debug UI applications with the native OS APIs).

That's not true. As the copyright holder they are not bound by the licence that they release it to others under.

The reason AGPL isn't being adopted in these situations is that it doesn't sufficiently protect against someone doing what e.g. AWS repeatedly does - turning open-source projects into services and then dominating the market while continuing to benefit from the upstream project. See the ElasticSearch licence change for a prominent example.

I guess it is American-specific (I'm from Belgium, lived a year in California 25 years ago): sport is one out of hundreds of options you have to take to get a full schedule in school. Everyday is the same day, be it monday or wednesday. You get 5 hours of class - from 8am to 3pm - and they're the same everyday. I don't know where you're from, but in USA (at least where I lived a year), math, geography, biology, chemistry, physics, sport, choir,...all are options. There are only a few mandatory classes: english (obvious), economics, and I forgot the last one I had. The other hours, you go to the class you chose. So, if you're not into academics or art, you choose some sport and it takes almost half of your school schedule. And you get the same high school diploma than someone who took math and chemistry. That's how athletics becomes so important in their schools, but arts can be too, or any subject. In Belgium, our school system went for the "a brain discovers a lot of subjects" teaching style, in US it's more "a brain (or a body) nicely trained on one subject".

update: tried to clarify differences between Belgium / US styles.
Yep, as far as I know they did. I think technically PGE still "owns" them, but that doesn't mean much. PGE has some sort of SLA requirement that they were trying to reach but it was taking dozens of hours of their teams' time to restore power to their little neighborhood when much bigger / more important areas were also waiting on restoration so apparently this was the workaround.
But it's only those two words. You only have to go back one word, "packages".

I understand how the misinterpretation happens, but I personally don't think a single misinterpreted word is enough to make a garden path sentence.
Having it both ways is what I wish for them, as a user. I want their source, I want to be able to use it, I want them to sell it, and I don't want some copycat to undercut them.

Open-source isn't a gospel, it's a religion to some but not the end of the story in terms of what humanity can come up with. God(s?) didn't stop at "closed or open source". We can find alternatives while aiming for ideals.
SEO is not reliant, and is often contradictory to statements like the one you quoted. No one who takes SEO seriously looks at what Google says. They look at how Google behaves.

> IMHO this is such a huge sign that therapy has no scientific rigor. If there was a clinically proven methodology it wouldn't matter so much who performs it.

Doesn’t need to mean no scientific rigor, it could be that it isn’t regulated properly. It really matters who performs brain surgery, the outcome of me performing it and a trained and licensed professional are massively different. Even if I follow the clinically proven methodology as an untrained person.
