idk my parents officially limited my screen time and did not buy internet service for the house, and I worked around it by being really stealthy about gaming / acquiring hardware at low cost / scamming free internet service

no kids yet but one trick could be figuring out what computer related chores you could make them do so they just don't want to spend more time at a screen

This is great, though seemingly difficult to come by (most books online seem to be anywhere from ($100 to $400 usd). Added Stafford Beer to my people to learn from list, thank you.
The first part you say is so spot on - fight the battles you have in front of you and ignore the potential battles everyone is yelling that are coming, those will arrive when the time comes.

And to the second, I remember reading old Wodehouse "school stories" where the teachers were complaining about the students wasting their time with worthless "book time" reading such useless works as David Copperfield. O tempora, o mores!
"transfer of wealth" is a political term. SO I am guessing that you want to make a political discussion.

meanwhile, on the "reality" side of things. Air traffic is common and not going away, what to do about pollution?

Consider this statement for yourself: Airlines are in a unique position in the economy. Their profits are fragile, their equipment is highly expensive, they require huge amounts of resources to be useful, and they are very much in demand for many reasons. In economic terms "people and companies are willing to pay for air travel and, people and companies cannot fly by themselves"

There is no law of economics that says that airlines have to exist! The invention of the airplane itself was considered science fiction for a thousand years+. We have to find a social balance that works -- the existing technology is new. There is nothing to say that airlines as they exist today, at the price point they bear, is "sustainable" in any way.

So - an economic change has to happen, and it can be painful and strife-ridden, or it can be negotiated via secret deals, or we could have clear thinking and do what is efficient and fair. But most importantly, these changes are not optional ! Environmental crisis is "real" .
But a 500 isn't the user breaking the server, it's the server being broken before the user ever came in.

Users and client software cannot (or rather, should never) be held responsible for 500 error codes, which "user breaks the server" implies.
Interesting stuff. Did HSTS seem out of place to anyone else? Not that it's not important, but compared to the rest of them, it hardly seems like it "changed everything." And from the gut, I'd guess that CORS has done more than HSTS to reduce harm on the internet.
What is this? Cyberstalking as a service or what?

Yeah I don’t buy the premise of the article. Both google and apple accept crowd-sourced places after a review. Google Maps is the big player so it gets more spam attacks, but I don’t think the processes for crowdsourced places are very different between the two.

Upset and departure are different things. Some aircraft can seem strait and level, but still be fully departed and falling like a rock. This won't happen in a Cessna trainer. It is normally associated with faster aircraft. The F-16 famously has a deep stall mode that sees it fall like a pancake for many thousand feet, with little hope of recovery at low altitudes.

They can round any number under 5 kilocalories to 0, and a gram of sugar has 4 kcal. Same thing with most sweetener packets, which use sugar as a filler or else there would be less then a single grain of powder per pack. Ironically, there is another fairly common filler: erythritol, which has less calories then sugar, and doesn't contribute to blood sugar, but because of how it's produced it can't be labeled natural.
Fortunately, here in the Netherlands (and most parts of Europe I suspect), ingredients are specified as amounts per 100g rather than some arbitrary serving size. This makes it very easy to compare products, for instance to see which one has the lowest percentage of sugars. In the US I had a much harder time comparing cereals for sugar content, as every one would have a different serving size.
> Graduate schools still are something of a novelty, and higher diplomas something of a rarity. The latter, therefore, carry a vague sense of preciousness and honor, and have a particularly "up-to-date" appearance, and it is no wonder if smaller institutions, unable to attract professors already eminent, and forced usually to recruit their faculties from the relatively young, should hope to compensate for the obscurity of the names of their officers of instruction by the abundance of decorative titles by which those names are followed on the pages of the catalogues where they appear. The dazzled reader of the list, the parent or student, says to himself, “This must be a terribly distinguished crowd, - their titles shine like the stars in the firmament; Ph.D.’s, S.D.’s, and Litt.D.’s bespangle the page as if they were sprinkled over it from a pepper caster.”

Interestingly, this remains true. If you want to be a CS professor at a small college, your industry experience is probably more desirable than a PhD.

Just don't expect to be paid more than a 10th of what you make now, and certainly don't expect the respect of your bespangled peers ;-)

My current pet example for the trend of hiding more and more details from users is an issue I recently had with Doordash.

I was trying to place an order, and it kept failing with a red banner stating "something went wrong" (I'm paraphrasing as I don't recall the exact verbage, but it was one of those completely worthless error messages)

Always found the "X per serving" stupid, servings almost never match the actual consumption. Don't know if it's a Europe law or per-state, but in Italy everything has to list nutritional info per 100g(or ml if it's liquid), and tic-tacs correctly show their average of 2 calories per candy[1]. It also is a wakeup call to how heavy snacks are, a can of Pringles is almost 900 calories even though they'd prefer you use their serving size of 30g (about 13 chips)

Most arguments for "hard takeoff" involve some form of inductive proof: if we have "intelligence level" n, and we know that it can be improved n + 1, then there is a guarantee of eventual performance n + k where k is arbitrarily large. Aside from not actually having any reliable way to quantify n or the concept of "intelligence" in the first place, this proof falls apart if improvement is n + ε, where ε changes at each step, and there is no reason to assume ε will escape the pattern of every other process in the known universe of trending to zero in the face of natural limiting factors.
The original poster reminds me of the trend on twitter a few years ago where a person's opinion would be described as "my 3 year old daughter read this post and turned to me and said, 'why would anyone lie on the Internet?'"
Ehh, many people are probably eating several boxes a day of tick tacks which are ~100 calories each. I used to pop them like the candy they are, and that adds up fast.

So I wouldn’t be surprised if a few thousand people are overweight due to Tick Tacks not actually being 0g of sugar.
Please be careful about treating the findings of any study as fundamental, universal truth. Science is messy and yesterday's accepted facts often becomes tomorrow's over simplifications. And when it comes to our understanding of treating mental illness, there are all kinds of exceptions to what we "know". None of this is black and white. This study talks about correlations. What it doesn't (and can't) have is counterfactual evidence to establish causation. Would the people who went longer have had as much success if they didn't go as long? We don't get to rewind and try.

My personal experience tells me that going MUCH longer than 12-18 sessions can yield life changing results. Before therapy, I was in a very bad place, having trouble understanding why I should go on living. At one point, I found myself curled up on the sidewalk in a big city, crying in the middle of the night, unsure I'd ever make it home. I needed help and luckily I found it. In my first session, I was very explicit that I didn't want to track any goals - my high pressure job (I led a group that was responsible for a billion dollars a year in annual revenue) already had too many of those for me to handle. I was 50+ sessions and six months in before I was able to observe any benefit from therapy - my therapist could see it much earlier, but I couldn't. Six months later some brutal life events, and my way of internalizing them, put me in a worse state than when I started. I then took months of medical leave from work at the advice of both my therapist and my family doctor.

After 150-200 sessions total, over the course of 2.5 years, I finally thought to myself "I feel healthy, do I need to keep going to therapy?" The very next session, before I presented that thought to my therapist, she said "You've made a ton of progress. I'm not sure it's worth your time and money to keep talking regularly. What do you think?" Today I'm 100% clear that life is worth living. And I have a much better understanding of how to recognize when my mind is processing things in an unhealthy way and what to do about it (sometimes an ad-hoc therapy session is part of the answer.

Is it possible that I could have changed treatments / practitioners and found success more quickly? Of course! But it's also possible that I could have tried switching, picked something even worse for me, and ended up taking longer or even taking my own life. If we knew the optimal path, we'd take it from the start. But we don't. Medical science around mental health isn't even close to offering that. I'd hate for others to give up on much needed treatment too soon because they aren't seeing success in 12-18 sessions. If they have the capacity to change course, maybe that's the right thing to do. If they don't, then staying the course could be exactly what they need.
They can resolve that by not using absolute URLs maybe

There's another side to that coin. If every restaurant that wants to offer delivery has to have their own driver, that means there are tons of drivers sitting around doing nothing while waiting for orders to come in. By outsourcing delivery to Uber, all restaurants in a city can be served by one pool of drivers, leveraging economies of scale. This opened the door to many more restaurants offering delivery because they didn't need to pay drivers to sit around.

A million different things would have helped in this particular situation. A stall warning that doesn't suddenly cut out when the plane exceeds a particular angle of attack [1] (That's an automation failure!). Emergency pilot tubes (That prevents the plane from dropping out of normal law!). Better pilot tubes (That prevents the plane from dropping out of normal law!) A pilot that actually received proper training (That's a human failure!). Not averaging control inputs between the pilot and the copilot (That's a design failure!).

I don't think the takeaway from this is 'In an emergency situation, where the plane knows that it can't make good decisions, it should lock the pilots out and try to fly itself.' By definition, if the plane knew how to fly itself, it wouldn't be an emergency situation!

----

[1] If the plane is so confused that it can't even detect that its in a stall[2], I can't trust it to fly itself.

[2] The stall alarm would turn off when the plane was stalling, and would turn on when it was recovering from a stall!
What a smackdown! You guys had me thinking you'd written a custom executor engine or something of that nature.

I've spent a fair amount of time digging around the terraform codebase and hacking on providers. I'm not too worried about the license change tbh, almost all the important IP is locked up in the provider codebases and no matter what direction hashicorp goes those providers will remain open.

The question will be, how are those providers executed? Most likely an open terraform fork will fill that role for the foreseeable future. But long-term I think hashicorp just handed IaC to crossplane and pulumi.

I think ACK from AWS and k8s-config-connector
from GCP probably represent the future of IaC. Crossplane is neat and all and pioneered the architecture but using the cloud provider native operators directly will always be a better experience. The question will be what the next generation of TACOS frontend tools look like.

Rewriting a provider into a kubernetes reconciler isn't an impossible undertaking and the tools for doing so are improving at a rapid rate. I recently finished up on a major project writing a kubernetes controller for a private cloud platform.
That’s a very good take, I completely agree (but do feel bad that you’ve been going in!).

Eh, maybe it's coincidence, but I am Bipolar (type I) and I deeply relate to the personality type described by the article, including how the author relates ambition/boredom to mania/melancholia.

Interestingly enough, I also had a favorite professor in college who mentored and looked out for me to a certain extent, who was big into Lisp and Haskell, and who was quite acquainted with bipolar disorder himself due to other people in his life.
The city is still ahead on taxes. The biggest complaint being lodged against the AirBnB's is they're keeping housing values high and pricing people out of the market. If the AirBnB's were to go away then the local housing market would collapse - along with the property tax revenue associated with it. That's if the naysayers can be believed that AirBnB is having that dramatic of an effect on local housing costs.

I was thinking more along the lines of “child pornography is a crime, and making a knowingly false report of a crime is a crime”.

I know it is a crime (in many jurisdictions) to make a knowingly false report of a crime to law enforcement; but PayPal aren’t law enforcement. I don’t think that should matter though - if it isn’t already a crime to make a knowingly false report of a crime to a business, then it should be
According to the author, the split control design mitigated communication between pilots, since one cannot feel what the other is doing.

That seems like a crucial functional omission.
>but why contribute your time and effort?

From a business context it can frequently be cheaper to fix OSS (or source-available software) than pay someone in-house to write something equivalent or pay for equivalent commercial software. If you're being paid by your employer to complete a task on company time, that task uses Terraform and you encounter a Terraform bug, it seems reasonable to create a fix for it.

It gets even hairier when you consider a lot of commercial products push Terraform support (in house created providers) as a feature. I could be getting paid by Company A to implement and maintain software written by Company B where part of the implementation uses a reference architecture or install template written in Terraform.

On the other hand, I'm more reluctant to use those sorts of tools/contribute on my own time.
I had a friend who basically gave their kid a tablet instead of a pacifier and, without trying to be mean, that kid was so weird. Immediately tantrum if the tablet was taken away, never made eye contact, etc. I can't say that was the whole reason, but it made me really scared when I had my own.

She didn't get any screen time at all until 7 or 8. Then we gave her 30 mins a day. If she was doing something interesting she could ask for more time and tell us how much and what for. But she usually just watched youtube or play pvz for 30 mins and done. No social media, but allowed a few messenger apps.

So far she doesn't seem to resent us or even care. Not sure if it's where we live, or the age, but most of the other parents seem similar.

She did have one friend who was always on TikTok and trying to make vids. Instead of begging us for TikTok, she recognized and pointed out to us how weird it was to always want to be doing that.
> What if something goes wrong and all the children roast alive or something?

The real risk here seems to be "the HVAC stops working, the person who implemented it is indisposed/gone, and there is no entity to recover money from to get someone else to fix it"
You do additional comparisons at each recursion depth, but you have a shallower recursion depth though. I think you break-even already at 4-way search.

This is a misleading title. Not to attack the merit of the project (it's can still be used to host stuffs), this is not free domain, this is free subdomain.

The main difference is that I don't own the subdomain, and should the organization decide to forgo the domain, my subdomain is also gone. On the other hand, if I buy a domain, my name is attached to it in the registry to denote that I am the "rightful" owner of the domain, and it is going to be way harder for me to lose access to it (I read a post on HN sometimes ago that some governmental cybersec task force can just terminate access to your domain if they deem you are using it for malicious intent, but otherwise you can only deliberately lose the domain)

This is just like a github.io subdomain. IME the only true free domain service is Freenom.
Some of the limitations listed are wrong:

> The main limitation is that you don't have access to some TypeScript-specific syntax.

> * as, also known as type assertions (or casts)

You generally shouldn’t (as the article notes), but you can:

const foo = /** @type {Bar} */ ({
something: {
satisfying: 'Bar',
},
});

Note: the parentheses are necessary, they are the JS/JSDoc mechanism for type casts.

This also works for `as const`, which is often better when you can use readonly types:

const foo = /** @type {const} */ ({
something: 'else',
});
// { readonly something: 'else' }

Better still, the satisfies operator also works (its JSDoc support lagged a bit though):

/** @satisfies {Bar} */
const foo = …;

This will infer the type of `foo` and check it for assignability to `Bar`.

> * is, also known as type predicates

This definitely works:

/**
* @param {unknown} value
* @return {value is Foo}
*/
const isFoo = (value) => …

You can also define the guard as a standalone/assignable type:

/**
* @callback IsFoo
* @param {unknown} value
* @return {value is Foo}
*/

The @callback tag is ~equivalent to a type alias for a function signature.

Also useful, if needed, the @template tag which is roughly equivalent to TS type parameters (generics) which you can use, for example, to assign generic type guards:

/**
* @template T
* @callback IsT
* @param {unknown} value
* @return {value is T}
*/

/** @type {IsT<Foo>} */
const isFoo = (value) => …
