If life is suffering, but nothing comes after death, then suicide is a means to escape suffering. But Buddhism has always proscribed suicide, usually for the very supernatural reason that suicide victims would be reborn at some lower level of existence where they are even more miserable.

Moreover, if attachment brings suffering, but there is no rebirth, then the insistence on continuing to live is the ultimate attachment. I actually think that this is one possible solution to the Fermi Paradox and supports a pseudo-Buddhist view: eventually civilizations might transcend the biological impulses that keep them attached to life, and then deliberately choose extinction.
It's quite alarming that a guest or child in the back that hasn't read the manual has no chance of opening the doors in the event of a power failure after a crash.

That the Model 3 rear doors can't be opened manually on a power failure is truly alarming.
First, you must define signal and noise. That is a very big problem.
The concept of caste has evolved in Hinduism over time. The roots of caste system are in teh concept of Varna and Varna system has its roots in Sankhya.

In modern India, the secular law gives special status to castes that have violence potential and hence has solidified its existence and yet Hinduism has already evolved the concept of caste to make it ever more useful to society.
It's a hypothesis, but just because it intuitively makes more sense for you if you flip the causation in the correlation around doesn't mean that the causation actually goes in that direction. You would still need to actually back this up by experiment.

> the discrepancy is smaller.

You mean like the French who don't pronounce the final consonant?

Anyway, fixing the orthography simply privileges the group whose pronunciation matches. And the pronunciation continues to drift anyway so you have to keep on adjusting the spelling.
I as well have left Ubuntu because of the forced snaps debaucle. I wish that snapd was optional, or at least that it was much easier to disable/entirely remove even if Ubuntu made it the default.
> The kernel userspace APIs are pretty stable, the APIs provided by the rest of what constitutes a complete Linux "operating system" are not.

There are plenty of userspace ABIs that are extremely stable, including whaever you need to run a game (like the C runtime). There are also APIs without stability guarantees (like the C++ standard runtime). A lot of games that no longer work depend on some of the latter libraries. There are also ABI bugs, no compatibility is perfect, but those usually do get fixed when found unless doing so would break more programs.

> Some applications designed for X still have broken features in Wayland, and likely won't be fixed without new versions of said apps because making Wayland compatible would break the entire security model.

That's not a long term compatibility problem but using a zero trust mobile phone security model on a desktop problem. That security model should be broken and moved to /dev/null where it belongs.

But really at some point you are going to need compatibility layers anyway. We already have Wine with great support for old Windows apps, there is nothing preventing something similar for legacy Linux on modern Linux emulation - except a lack of interest because there really aren't that many Linux-only legacy applications.
Neither did they!
That's not what happens. The waiting lists are incredibly long, and treatment is often withheld by clinicians - to a trans kid's detriment. If there were thousands of girls undergoing life-changing surgeries they would later regret, there would be thousands of detransitioners already - instead of the same few people flown from hearing to hearing.
> and the advice to aggressively gain weight is also not appropriate for everyone (GOMAD etc.).

Yeah, don't do GOMAD unless you're a 17-year-old teenage boy with a BMI of 18.5 who wants to be a linebacker or something. Some of the Starting Strength advice is... very situational, to put it politely as possible.

Their coaching certification, however, means more than 95% of the "personal trainer" certifications you'll see in the average gym.

> When you say "powerlifters", are those people who compete or just people who train? I can imagine this to make a difference.

The oldest powerlifer I knew well who wasn't dealing with chronic injuries was a 40-year-old women's masters competitor. She competed around 135 or 139 lbs bodyweight, I think? She was absolutely a beast, with near flawless form and an excellent coaching eye.

Besides her? Almost every other long-term powerlifter I met was nursing some injury. But what really stood out to me was the absence of old powerlifters in my local gyms. There were old lifters in amazing shape. But none of them were grinding out the really heavy squats and deadlifts.

But don't take my word for it. All I'm recommending is that when new powerlifters max out their newbie gains, they take a good hard look around their local gym, and see who has decades of happy lifting under their belt. Ask those folks about their training plans and injury histories and PED use. You may see different patterns than I did. But for lifelong fitness, avoiding chronic injuries is everything.

Since we’re talking about language, and perhaps a bit of pedantry is more justified than it would usually be, just a heads up - neither of the apostrophes in “so now part of the language fit's it's spelling” should be there!

As soon as I see a CLA I'm turned off even using a piece of FOSS software.

I get it's usually just the lawyers protecting the company just in case a contributor tries something dodgy in the future. Out of principle however, I resent the broad assignment of copyright and granting them the right to relicense.

Of course I expect most of these projects would never exercise that right, but the mere fact that they _could_ take my Free work and make it non-Free is very disturbing.

So I'm simply not going to use it. I'm not going to get invested, then find a problem that I could theoretically submit a patch for. Rather than think of all the users who would benefit from my change, I'll just see it as free work for a megacorp.
Single threaded just means there is no parallelization, but there can (and usually is) still concurrency, which is what reactive programming is about.

I think reactive programing solves the "dependency graph" problem to you in the sense that you just have to "change" one value and then all dependencies (and their dependencies) update. You still have to define the relations though.
This becomes much more difficult once you already have injuries though.

Yeah, sorry, but I just don't agree with the spirit of the comment, and I think it's thinking like this which leads programmers to over-engineer web applications, which usually harms user experience and wastes company money.

Absolutist statements like "no, you should not do a full form post just to toggle a checkbox" are just silly. There is no minimum bound beneath which a standard web browser form submission doesn't make sense, and writing extra JavaScript code to not only manage an asynchronous network request but also handle subsequent behaviours for success, failure, timeout, etc., is additional complexity which incurs additional cost and a greater potential for system failure.

Sometimes these implementation details and associated costs are necessary, but in most cases they aren't, and it's not an ideal perspective economically to default to the more expensive and complex implementation, especially for dubious benefit.
I see your point but I’d argue that if you feel bad about this it means your core value is actually financial stability over sticking to your principles at any cost, and in that case your actions and intentions didn’t align with what you truly value.

What if it isnt? What if there is a zoo out there, with loads of different people with different skills just because the brain-maturation took a entirely different turn when they were a baby/child or the genetics did play out strange? Why is such a world of mental diversity so threatening to even just imagine? I find the thought of a alien mind just waiting for a coffe right next-to-me exhilarting and fascinating. Not to look at the sky, just to listen and find out that not everyone is a carbon copy of me (as my lazy flat copy mirror-neurons default implies) is a great adventure.

As a native Portuguese speaker, the most mindblowing aspect in English for me is how words are split in syllabes.

Why at-om and not a-tom?

As years pass I get a better intuition and can somewhat translate that to better pronunciation but I don't think I'll ever really grok it.
Relative difficulty of different lifts also varies. I found squats and deadlifts extremely difficult, to the point that I reached 1x bodyweight bench press before 1x bodyweight squat.

Line of sight range is huge, current record is a little over 200 km I think, but practical range is much less. TTN Mapper[1] is a map that shows you estimated approximate range of existing public nodes. The guy behind it also has a good video on Youtube about the algorithms used[2].

Also noticed the "scalloped growth" curve from Mastodon in general. For each exodus event there's an influx of activity that dies down but not to former levels and each time it happens, retention seems slightly better (less slope on the subsequent downward curve).
we're talking about six lines of code if we don't count the curly braces (which can be omitted)

bubble sort with early exit is

for (size_t i = 0; i < n; i++) {
bool sorted = 1;
for (size_t j = 1; j < n - i; j++) {
if (a[j-1] > a[j]) {
item_t tmp = a[j];
a[j] = a[j-1];
a[j-1] = tmp;
sorted = 0;
}
}
if (sorted) break;
}

which is three more lines of code, which is in some crude sense a complexity increase of 50% over both the simple bubble sort in my earlier comment and over insertion sort

if you compile it https://godbolt.org/z/jdzov8cPn you can see that the inner loop goes from 10 instructions to 11. that doesn't guarantee that it's 9% slower (that depends a lot on the platform, and in particular on a big superscalar cpu it probably just uses a little more power but the same number of clocks) but it does tend in that direction. of course occasionally it will save you a pass or two over the array, which will tend to compensate, but it won't usually save you 9% of the passes

if some item is in position n and needs to be in position m, where m < n, it will require n - m passes of bubble sort to get there. a little thought suffices to show that, for randomly shuffled input, where m = 0 the item has to move about half the size of the array, where m = 1 it has to move about half the size of the array minus one half, where m = 2 it has to move about half the size of the array minus one; but it's the maximum of these three numbers which determines the number of passes after which all three of those positions will have the correct item, and that maximum is heavily skewed to be almost the entire size of the array. the chance that none of those three items is in the last 25% of the array originally is only .75*3 = 42%. and as the value of three increases, it gets worse. so in general early exit doesn't buy you much

as for modern implementations of bubble sort, they're all either didactic classroom exercises like this one or careless mistakes like the original freebsd code; because insertion sort always beats it, there aren't like a community of bubble sort implementors who have annual bubble sort conferences. so you can expect some variation in precise terminology and shouldn't worry about it

(fwiw clrs 3ed. gives bubblesort without an early termination test, as i did; their definition is in exercise 2-2 on p. 40. but they're counting in the opposite direction, so everything i said above about items moving forward quickly and backward slowly is reversed for the clrs version of bubblesort)

The amount of "female males" in the comment section is unbelievable, no one likes a good V12 V8 V6? No? Soy milk and Tesla anyone?

Actually it's quite funny. None of you provide actionable insight but rather Karen-omics arguments.

"Car loud must not go brrr"

"Only our money printers go brrr not your car!"

"If its not silent as a Tesla as the media tells me I have to go rage mode on guys enjoying/reliving their youth!"

Yeah we get it. Most of us have lived in big cities. There are already solutions as pointed out by other commentators whether preventative or active measures to deter a lot of too loud car drivers.

We praise pseudo-individualism yet you get judged even if you'd buy a car with louder exhausts not modify one.

The prejudice is real and just because you can't afford it that doesn't mean someone else shouldn't have or enjoy it RESPONSIBLY.

You don't like racism yet you are racist towards people who enjoy cars. But then again can't be a pseudo intellectual/a ycombinator Karen like 90% of people here if you don't hate digital currencies and oppose anything different than whats shown on TV.

There is also a specific subset of this problem named "USA conferences on themes from Technology Alert List" with common examples being information security conferences like DEFCON or BlackHat. Just mentioning such conference during visa application may already give you headache, and usually you work in this field if you go to such conference - working in critical field automatically gets you an administrative processing when your passport gets sent to USA and some agencies check that you are not a spy or something which may take anywhere from several months to infinity. Also even if you pass this processing, you will get visa for 1 year max instead of usual 3 years.

I know at least two such cases with my peers, one being my friend still waiting for visa decision 5 years later after Google accepted him for an internship and he got sent to administrative processing because of his job at security firm at the moment. Obviously, his internship expired years ago. From my experience, getting US visa is the worst by a wide margin compared with EU or UK.

There is no frame around the window. The electrical door handle opens up a bit the window before unlocking the door to free it from the seal.

Without power the manual handle needs to do that also, which is more complicated that a "normal" door handle.
If consumers cared it wouldn't cost anything. They would just do it.
Because of the window frame.

When you open the door, the window slides down slightly to clear the frame. If you force it manually, the window might break.
Not really, these are rare.

It's part of the north (mid / east of Groningen province), that has an earthquake problem.

These are mostly minor (like ~2 on Richter scale), but frequent. Causing structural damage in many (mostly older) houses, and people losing sleep over safety, house value & damage compensation. Imagine feeling minor quakes weekly, and seeing new cracks appear in the walls of your house every couple of months.

Cause of these quakes is man-made: natural gas extraction from Slochteren field. This field is slowly being closed, and subsoil will settle eventually. But that process is measured in decades. So quakes will continue for years.

Most houses affected by this, were built before Slochteren gasfield was even discovered, and earthquakes in this area didn't exist. So those houses' owners can't be blaimed for the problems they're having. Nor were those houses built with earthquakes in mind.
hard to believe that such a thing does not already exist. any tips?
Yeah, I was thinking about the treatment possibilities while reading. My wife has very high anxiety, which cannabis edibles mitigates pretty well, so I wonder if the pot is affecting those areas.
PSI and cgroups should make that possible for typical situations.
The windows have no frame. They slide up into the body of the car. If the door opens, the car needs to roll the window down a bit, then open the door. Without power, none of that happens. And if you use the emergency switch, the window showers you in shattered glass. Quite an elegant system.
Very brave to selectively quote Ambedkar, especially on Buddhism and Hinduism. Let me enlighten you with his own quotes:

"History of India before the Muslim invasions is the history of a mortal conflict between Brahmanism and Buddhism"

"No wonder if Pushyamitra who as a Samvedi Brahmin was the first to conceive the passion to end the degradation of the Brahmin by destroying the Buddhist state..."

"By this proclamation Pushyamitra set a price of 100 gold pieces on the head of every Buddhist monk"
> The ID.4 is a comparable car that does: the emergency door opening engages if you yank the lever hard twice. No need to hunt for some switch in the interior of the car.

That's a great design - gentle pull on the lever and the electronics opens the latch/door, pull harder and (your) mechanical effort opens the door.

"Cybersecurity" is too general. Do you want to respond to incidents, do offensive security, vuln mgmt, vuln research, exploit dev, appsec, netsec,websec,cloudsec, setup systems for a security team or setup systems for product team with a sec speciality in their devsecops,etc...

But I gotta say, your background is best suited to focus on appsec (secure code writing) or seceng/devsecops type person. Your masters I am afraid is near useless (having worked with several masters holders), I might even make a good bet your security+ will be more valuable.

There are many certs depending on your goal and they all have value depending on where you apply. OSCP will impress anyone for entry level of anything. But imho, sec+ and cysa+ give you enough of a taste to keep you well rounded on a lot of things. The public secret is that you should get an employer that would pay a ton of money into sans certs afer that unless you end up in appsec, devsecops/seceng,vulnmgmt. Despite what edgelords say, you do learn quite a bit from difficult and lab intensive certs.

College grads and the masters holders I worked with severly lacked a hacker mindset. I think OSCP might help you with that tbh. You can't think like you are solving a programming problem or working on a coding/IT project. What you think you know in many ways will hurt you, which is one reason I am glad you are taking an entry level cert like sec+.

Just make sure you actually like security stuff, if not I highly recommend doing appsec/devsecops stuff so you are still in familiar territory.

There is a lot of work in security you don't hear much about where most people don't know how to write any code. And there are jobs where you work with assemly every day (and they pay shit from what I have seen unless your talent is top tier), there is a lot of variety. But the fundamental remains, that everyone in security has to know how threat actors work and think, security exists because bad people do, that's what it's all about at its root, not technical things.

Entry level jobs will be easy to get with just your background but in my observation, entry level is entry level, you gotta take somewhat of a crappy pay (relative to tech pay) and then after like a year your pay can improve when you have proven yourself a bit.

A lot of the stuff I do would probably be an unbearable burden if I didn't genuinely enjoy it. I work with people whose family gets in the way (spending time with them) or they do ok but do sort of the minimum with a lot of complaining because they're just there for the pay understandable, a job is a job, but they're not having fun at all.

Hooe that helped.

Oh, and stay away from startups and such and avoid ec-council certs like cancer. CTFs take a lot of time, I wouldn't waste my time on them in your position, they won't actually help you get a job unless it is a really competitive junior pentester gig and it's a tiebreaker or something.
