Toxic dudebros use stoicism as a cloak to excuse their assholery.

One aspect of stoicism that they ignore is that, at its core, stoicism is about being patient, forgiving, and kind. They throw that in the trash and only implement the "IDGAF" bits like Christians who recite chapter and verse the parts about hating on gay people while ignoring the parts above and below those that say not to do other things that they do every day. edit: another aspect they ignore is malleability.

A practicing stoic should immediately shift their views on something regardless of their previous position when presented with compelling arguments-- without resentment or attachment. If a stoic was taught and grew up believing "A" and then an expert presents evidence that "B" is correct, said stoic should purge "A" from their minds regardless of external pressure-- even if it means looking like a hypocrite, a fool, someone who has wasted their time/effort, or if it deviates them from the local norm.

YouTube stoics... don't do that.

More words on stoicism were written by its inventors about attachment than any other topic.

Many (most of the most popular) pop-stoics are poster children for the vain, wealth-obsessed (cryptobro connection), cigar smoking, lambo driving (renting to show off), hyper-attached Andrew Tate archetype.

Stoicism:

>The measure of possession is to every man the body, as the foot is of the shoe. If then you stand on this rule , you will maintain the measure: but if you pass beyond it, you must then of necessity be hurried as it were down a precipice. As also in the matter of the shoe, if you go beyond the foot, the shoe is gilded, then of a purple colour, then embroidered: for there is no limit to that which has once passed the true measure.

Pop-stocism: All those ripped dudes with abs who fuck bitches and drive lambos? THEY'RE STOICS! Ignore SOCIETY when they tell you STOICSM is TOXIC.

Every time a stoic ridicules a man for crying I want to attach my boot to their face.

Lamenting is a-ok: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%...

also: a stoic doesn't care if someone points out the irrefutable and easily demonstrable fact that their philosophy is associated with bad actors, nor does he or she resent that. They accept it.

Attached assholes do care, though.

They care A LOT.

Sure. But a better treatment might be to say "here's a lot of metrics, some of which might be related and here's a list of reasons people have proposed for the causes behind these metrics."

Out in the woods, the home and the nearest DSL hub have backup power. Cellular is always a crap shoot.

And iPads can make phone calls via Wi-Fi, FaceTime and emergency calls.

I have yet to use a landline phone, even from the thrift store, even though the phone service is bundled with DSL internet at a lower cost than DSL internet alone.

The blazing fast internet revolution has not reached the woods, though I have never worried about making an emergency call via iPhone or iPad. CB talkies are on hand, though I keep batteries out of them to avoid corrosion from disuse over time (in years)
That seems a bit disingenuous on your part. I picked the top 3 hits on Google and they are all very helpful and to the point - Programiz, W3Schools, Tutorialspoint. Granted, I have ublock origin, as most people should have anyway.
No, and the graphs don't even correlate. Scroll through and you see that 1971 is not a significant point on most of them.
Not me. I’d like a lot more. Particularly I’d like this part fleshed out:

I only know of Campbell from “A Hero With a Thousand Faces”. I’d love to read more about how Campbell specialized in irritating Asimov.
Not to worry, great companies like Google harass you to set a recovery phone number /s

No seriously, it is aggravating how much SMS account recovery is a thing. Google even displays banners of "You are missing recovery information" because you set a recovery email but not a recovery phone.
Dry ice has become really quite scarce in the last five years. It was explained to me at the ice shop I used to visit that there were changes in some shipping regulations, not too sensible ones, that resulted in a much higher price and a bunch of people just dropping out of the business. Indeed, that place finally got out of the dry ice business as well.

Airgas has some pretty tight hours and in smaller towns, they don't even have it stock. Penguin supposedly has it in different places like Walmart but it is a complete gamble. Local grocery stores have bailed out. I've had no luck at ice cream places.

State of the art is that X is impossible. An expert knows that, and therefore does not pursue it.

A non-expert doesn't know X is impossible, pursues it and solves it.

I don't have any specific example, though.
Can you be more specific? That's a long, nuanced reply that suggests several legit explanations that account for some of the trends, none of which look like dismissing the whole thing as bad statistics, like you're claiming.[1]

If anything, it agrees that "something happened" around 1971, and suggests multiple such things.

[1] Edit: to me, "freshman bad statistics" means something like "the supposed trend is an artifact of how it was measured or transformed", but the link doesn't say anything like that -- this label is misleading at best.
This is mentioned in the article but under the “intentionally skipped details” section. I’m just starting to learn risc-v, but I assume pointing a1 to the device tree would be all you have to do to pass it to OpenSBI.

> Unity isn't responsible for a bad business model. If you can't turn a profit after the fee structure, then don't choose Unity.

What? Unity is in fact responsible for the fee structure, they made it. It's not a force of nature, you don't get to change the business model under people's feet and then say, "huh, real irresponsible of you to choose a business model that doesn't work because we broke it; not our fault, you should have planned for us changing your revenue structure." Especially since as far as I can tell, Unity is retroactively applying this change onto existing games already on the marketplace.

God didn't make the business model bad, Unity did. And when those games launched, they launched under a different business model than what Unity is proposing. It is in fact not their fault that they didn't have the psychic ability to consider, "what if Unity randomly decides in the future to charge us every time a user installs one of our free games even if they only play it for 30 seconds?"
I didn't mean unpaid Gnome developers, I meant everyone else. People like this SDL developer: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/217#note_3552...

He's certainly not getting paid to make SDL work on Gnome, and I think does a pretty good job of explaining why the proposed solutions from Gnome will result in a poor user experience.

>This is also not true. GNOME has designs for tray icons in their GitLab repo.

Yeah, but every other wayland compositor seems to have gotten it to work already. This is what people mean when they talk about "splitting the linux ecosystem". If they're not able to manage the complexity of implementing stuff like tray icons, things that are really important for cross-platform apps, maybe they should pivot to using a library like wlroots.

Happy to see I'm not alone and someone else is complaining about our sad parks,

"What we call parks look like parking lots with some grass on them, perhaps a baseball diamond. That's not the kind of park that draws people in," Tayana Panova, a researcher who studies the built environment's effects on mental health, told me. "We need parks that have amenities and assets that make it desirable for people to go there." A third space of dreams isn't a barren field. It also includes pools, benches, art, fountains, playgrounds, and food stands — things people gather at.
Bottom line: Chemical rockets are never going to take us any place interesting in the universe.

Unbelievable. My email address is protected with multi-factor authentication (and given the popularity of Gmail, I'd wager that this isn't all that uncommon!); my main phone line isn't.

"Vaccinium myrtillus" literally means the "common Myrtille". Which is not blue and doesn't taste like a blueberry. I understand that blueberry is the common North American English word for Bleuet an and Myrtilles. While it's the other way around in France.

Blueberies are called Bleuet in Canadian French. And in France today they are sold with the same two names on the packaging (blueberies, bleuet), but often people will call them myrtille anyways! A point of contention for me as I am alwahs sad to hear Myrtille and be served Bleuet :)

Isn't this a complex solution for a problem that shouldn't exist?
Yeah, "0 to 100" is so commonplace in Europe that even the engineers from ETH Zurich leave out the units.

Reminds me of being asked in the US what the fuel consumption of our car was (in miles per gallon) and not being able to answer because the usual unit in Europe is liters per 100 km (didn't have a smartphone back then).

Ask HN: Budgeting Website or App
I am looking for a budgeting website and app that allows for:
* Zero based, envelope budgeting
* Defining multiple bank accounts
* Importing transaction history from a CSV/... file for each bank account (no need to connect to my bank)
* Automatic recognition of bank statement item categories (i.e. "KFC" should be categorised automatically as "Eating out")
* Allows to override automatic bank statement item categorisation for a single occurrence or globally
* Free to evaluate before committing to a purchase

I have looked for a couple of hours online, and am yet to find an app or website that meets this criteria.

Thanks!

I've only dabbled in development in xcode a little. Most of my programming on my M1 are C and Rust programs. But the tooling for apple apps (macOS, iOS, etc) in xcode make it pretty easy with Core ML to make some models and bundle it into your app to run locally on the device it gets installed on. At least that is my understanding on playing with it (someone with more experience with CoreML correct me if I am wrong on that). So its not just Apple themselves, but they make it easier for developers to do it also.
(Quiet founder here) The non-trivial thing about DMs is multiple device support, so that when someone sends you an encrypted DM you will receive it on any of your devices.

We've also been prioritizing basic functionality on Android and iOS over many common-sense features like DMs because there is a lot of risk there. All users we talk to need reliable mobile support, so we want to ensure we have that locked down to a sufficient degree before adding a bunch of features (to be a bit melodramatic, we want to make sure we aren't polishing deckchairs on a Titanic!)

But we have a concrete plan for encrypted group messaging with multiple device support and removal. We plan on using this library: https://github.com/local-first-web/auth

It is very bleeding edge but is based on academic work by Martin Kleppmann and built in conjunction with the folks at Ink & Switch, so it's an earnest attempt at a solution. We'd love to use MLS but it's too complex and narrowly focused, I think, to be a good fit at this stage.
Open Source and the Battle of the GPU Poors
I kinda already pack a keyboard (oversized and missing a key but has a good stand built in and is a bird in the hand) and a mouse to use with my iPad and the iPad can RDP into my big gaming PC and cloud instances which is good for a lot of things but not so good for programming an Arudino or accessing the OBD II in a car via a WiFi dongle.

Now that AYA would be really fun for hacking and hooning at the same time.
I always thought it was Nixon taking the wind out of the metaphorical sails. He was so bad, even Republicans of the day were grossed out. Cancelling the space program, domestic surveillance abuse, the extremely cynical Southern Strategy, the Viet Nam war, tons of things done to destroy idealism and trust in institutions.
No, we do not have this technology (unless this is a pencil and paper ballot). And we should not be duped into believing the technology exists to be "fully auditable and transparent, yet completely anonymous". It does not and it probably cannot exist.
I applaud the effort to bring some order to the deluge of products and tools that claim to include AI. Is there a filter for viewing only free products?
I think a lot of people find the learning curve of c++ fairly extreme, especially when considering the amount of knowledge to do idiomatic programming in c++ required to “do things elegantly.” C# and related languages tend to have idioms baked in closer to the syntax and grammar. My view of c++ after 30 years of it is it’s great if you’ve got 10 years experience programming it within a team of seasoned c++ programmers who shows you the ropes. Even then I think rust is the language I wished for all these years (albeit not for game dev yet). Finally, for the reasons rust isn’t great for game dev, c# and ilk generally have excellent reflective and dynamic natures making them sort of the sweatpants and old T-shirt language for game programming.

That said, it locks you into using stuff like mono and stuff for cross platform which makes me a sad.

If you have a valid economic theory, it doesn't matter if we apply it at 50BCE or if we apply it in 3000CE. Either an economic theory is able to explain a given economic situation and make predictions, or it is not.

> Anything that is reasonably possible to do by a single individual right now

Economic theories don't usually depend on the concrete specificity. Moreover; economic theories actually often pose the question "What if this thing that was not possible before suddenly becomes viable".

> divide by zero then it's a dumb theory and close to zero passing readers will take it seriously.

That might be a bad example; regular math doesn't do divide-by-zero, but we still use it very much.
As a technical person the thing I hope for most is that my direct manager does not try to get involved in technical topics. They need to understand the nature of the labor of course, but they do not need to be thinking about which DB we use or trying to interpret log messages. They are my interface to other managers and other parts of the business. I can and will talk to the other technical people myself.
typescript has wasted more of my time than anything else. But at least I can bill clients for it.

What other similarly sized or smaller company has successfully built a browser which is not Chromium-based fit for the average consumer? If you're just piggybacking on Google's work, then sure, it's probably not bad, but Mozilla has their own browser engine and is trying to keep feature parity with browsers which have effectively unlimited funding.

> Isn't stopping people from murdering, and stealing from, each other a purpose?

I think TFA is trying to say that Law 2.0 doesn't say "Don't steal", it says instead that "The minister or an agency designated by the minister, which may be a company, shall promulgate regulations to protect property rights." And Law 3.0 says "The Agency shall cause automatic money transfers from thieves to victims to occur, to compensate victims of theft."

I deplore Law 2.0-type legislation; TFA notes that secondary legislation is subject to review by the House of Lords, but the fact is that this will be in committee; committees don't get a lot of media attention, and nothing that happens in the Lords gets much media attention. Basically, secondary legislation isn't really subject to public scrutiny, in the sense of press campaigns and proper debates, in and out of Parliament.

Also, primary legislation that provides for secondary legislation is an abstraction; it doesn't say what the law is going to be. You can read the primary legislation all through, and yet have no clue what it means, because it means nothing until the secondary legislation is implemented.

Law 2.0 also allows bills to be really badly-drafted, because the meat is all in the secondary legislation. "Let's just get it passed - ministers can fix it later, if it turns out to be a PoS." TFA notes the length of this bill - 427 pages. Even ministers don't read bills that long; MPs certainly don't, at least most of them don't.

My view is that you can't hold someone to a law that they can't reasonably be expected to know.

That means that the law must be clear and explicit. If it can't be expressed concisely, then it isn't clear. All supporting documentation (e.g. industry regulations) must be equally clear and explicit, and free for anyone to read (so no incorporation by reference of industry standards that cost £1500 for a single printed copy).

At Netflix we had both noun and verb services. We had the "play movie" service, which was very much verb, as well as the listing service for example. But we also had the subscriber service, which was the source of truth for any account data, and the catalog service, which held all the info about the movies.

Yes, subscriber was a Tier 0 service and required a strong reliability and scaling story. They had more rigorous deployment setup and were usually over-scaled for traffic. But they also vended a library that services used to connect to them. That library had intelligent caching and fallbacks, so that even if the service was down, in a lot of cases the system could keep running. And the catalog was the same.

Microservices is very intertwined with how your engineering teams are built. We had a team that worked on subscriber data, one that worked on catalog data, one that worked on making movies play, one that built listings. So we had services to match.
Testing with clang + x86 and also g++ + arm (or whatever combination of compilers and architectures makes sense) also helps, and is easier than maintaining a port to a second OS.
