I can't imagine the pain you must live with every day. I'm so sorry.

The article does disambiguate between (what they call) "true sadness" and depression:

> Gold dismisses the common idea that depression is medicalised sadness, noting that “true sadness is often associated with cherished, loving memories of, for instance, a lost loved one, combined with grief over their loss, and, at times, a bittersweet feeling encompassing both the bounties of life and the harsh reality that all relationships must come to an end”. Such feelings, he says, are typically unavailable to seriously depressed individuals, whose emotional repertoire is constricted to “a deadening litany of self-excoriation and hopelessness”.

And I think it is an important distinction. "Depression" has been treated as a catch-all term for what turns out to be a myriad of different causes that happen to look the same to an outside observer.

I personally experience chronic inflammation due to Crohn's disease and it does cause depressive symptoms even though there isn't any major external reason that I should feel that way.

And it makes no sense that the same treatment should be used in both of our cases.
I would not have rights even at the port of entry, or within 100 miles of international border.

It's not one gate, it's basically every gate (unless you count Amazon as a gate that's impressive, but nobody does).
Fair points. It's all guesses about the unforeseeable future, but I would estimate that a multigenerational ship is in arm's each if we really wanted to, whereas accelerating so much as an orbiter (let alone a lander, or a whole rover, or a live person) to 0.9c probably requires a tech level we don't have due to the fuel requirement for deceleration. Maybe a fly-by could work, then burst back the results with some enormous amount of energy, but that's a lot of cost for very little information.

When making a generational ship, for safety we'd still want to do years of testing on orbit to see whether a chosen ecological system really does form a closed loop. Water recycling on the ISS is 98% efficient according to NASA, so with refuelings from ice moons every couple decades (solar system hopping) that should be covered. Ion engines are apparently also a thing (still sounds like science fiction to me, but they've been in production on space missions for a long time apparently!), I don't know what kind of longevity those have though, or whether refueling is realistic (might requires landers with expansive equipment for refinement of elements). Things like floor space, the way that I see it, that's a matter of cost more than a matter of ability, so having enough privacy so you don't kill each other is within our current tech level – again, iff we'd really care to do this. Hence I'd say we can do this nearly today, and then it also doesn't matter much if you need 400 years for 4ly or 12'400 years for 124ly.

On the other hand, by 10k years from now, I would think we can make a 0.9c human-sustaining craft, so maybe you're right that we'd rather choose to wait a thousand years and see where things stand then rather than putting effort into launching a generational ship next century, whereas with a 4ly target the generational ship is much more likely to be faster. Maybe you're right that this distance difference does matter. Not for ability so much as for psychological "would we spend that effort given the perspectives" reasons
All of them are micro-transactions.

Some micro transactions are tolerable, some of the time, but every single one of these commercializes the product. IMO if they exist, the game should be free-to-play. Where I really get annoyed are games like Lego2K (racing game) where you pay $60 to play, and then it's also full of microtransactions (for cars, courses, cosmetics, you name it).

I think it's a different matter when it's a content-filled DLC add-on to the game. Yes, the line for that is a bit arbitrary, but the classic example would be Starcraft: Brood War (well, technically that was an expansion pack, but same idea). Adding a single additional course to a racing game blurs the line, I generally think content should be bundled so the gamer isn't constantly making financial decisions while playing.
The people who are buying iPhone 15 don’t care about USB-C data speeds. Most people never connect a physical cable from their phone to anything but a charger.

Is "Sudafed PE" different than normal Sudafed? I typically take the latter when I have a cold. If it's a placebo, it's a darn effective one!

Edit: Oh I see, my box of Sudafed has a different active ingredient, "pseudoephedrine".
PhaserJS for when I want complete control, and Construct 2 for rapid prototyping even if it's a bit quirky (instance archetypes, selected object lists, etc). Unfortunately they no longer sell it and have since moved to a subscription service with an annual fee.

If I can devote some time, I'd love to check out Defold. I've heard good things about it.
So we tested this in Australia.

We shut our borders suddenly and unexpectedly for two years, going from a long-run rate of over 1% net immigration to negative overnight. Meanwhile, we kept development approval and construction going largely unperturbed.

Our housing market responded with a two year long bull-run.

As convenient as it is to blame immigrants, I don't think it's true.
Why is anyone surprised about this? Fraud is all about money and there are many people who will participate in such if they think they can get away from with it.

Wait, was this actually common? I don’t think I’ve ever applied , got hired and was ever asked for my social media logins at half dozen places I’ve worked at since the early 2000s. Maybe it’s rare or I was just fortunate to never have worked for an employer that did that.

There are other features about a piece of homework than how the handwriting appears. Is the content high quality? Did he learn? Did he do it efficiently? Did he enjoy doing it? Is it well-designed or beautiful in other ways? Etc. Your kid can feel pride about these other features of his work, some of which may be mutually exclusive with high quality handwriting! Selecting the handwriting as high priority is somewhat arbitrary on your part. I'd be concerned that you're overlooking other arguably more important signals of pride and joy in your kid's work by focusing on this one.

If you want your kid to practice high quality craftsmanship, to feel pride in a job well-done, let him choose another craft where the quality is inherently relevant, like woodworking or sewing (or calligraphy)!

A second angle. Imagine you are trying to learn to write code and someone insisted you use a difficult keyboard: each key is a different size, they're spaced out across the desk facing different directions. (Or, say, insisted you use punch cards). You'll surely have a harder time learning to code!

Your anecdote interests me because I've the same thoughts but prefer USB-C instead. I've taken care of my family's iPhones and the issues of pocket lint and loose cables have happened far too often for me to ignore.

The occasions I can remember USB-C breaking are on cables that are from no-name brands.

That said, at least it's easier to clean the ports on a Lightning cable.

I was thinking about the price because $800-1200 seems like a lot for a "phone", but you're really getting something that's awful close to a Macbook in power and display quality, but with a great camera and many times more compact (which usually command a hefty price premium), for less money than a Macbook. It's actually not a bad deal?

I suppose you could argue in the other direction that Macbooks are way overpriced. :-)
As someone who used the train in Japan extensively, it drives me crazy that Amtrak can’t do simple stuff like knowing what platform a train is going to come to, let alone get the train to line up so the doors are in the right place. A train system run in a foreign language should not be simpler and less confusing than one in my native language!
They pulled some type of rotary pump thingy out of that monster that ran the entire length of the engine. I'd never seen anything like that and had to look it up. It's a supercharger; a glorified air compressor. That air pump uses more HP than your average supercar.

Holy hell.
My third place is disc golf leagues/tournaments. The great thing about the sport is that it's easy to pick up and tournaments are usually set up in such a way that you can choose a group that suits your ability.

It should be noted that penn station is literally the crowning achievement of US public transit. Any complaints about it should be viewed through the lens of the fact that nothing even remotely comparable exists anywhere else in this country.
You can find USB 5Gbps in a Pixel 6a that costs 300 USD on Amazon. USB 3 is not exactly some fancy new expensive tech.

You can get a breakout board for few bucks yourself and that's still going to be more than Apple would have to pay.

The actual answer is that they used last year's SOC which had only USB 2 support.

Weird how they do it. We recently sent in some of our family farm cheese to a contest. The judges don't know the name of the cheese or see the labels. They just taste (/smell/feel/eyeball) the cheese and judge it. No judging of the back story.
The maths doesn't check out. A 9 second quarter mile is an average of well under 1g.

It is like lying on a bed except with less gravity than usual.

Of course it's not linear, but it's very unlikely to be more than 2g at any time. People can comfortably handle well over that in that direction of acceleration

Of course, there's zero chance of this happening in the US, given telcos would lobby heavily against it. But as a thought experiment, I think that's exactly what should happen: telcos should be held liable for their piss-poor security practices against SIM swapping.

Off topic: I've ignored any medical bills I thought were unfair for 12+ years. It's probably over $10k in bills altogether. It's never shown up on my credit reports though (I check often and bought a house last year). So your results may vary. In the mean time I just throw out the debt collector bills as I get them.

no it's got everything to do with shareholders, because ultimately, the money the shareholders invested into the company will need to be recouped by the shareholders, by any method they can.

And in a cut throat business of game engines, unity is trying to squeeze out every bit of juice it can. It still has some advantages over godot atm (such as big install base, and a pre-existing network/momentum which is hard to dissipate), and my guess is that unity is trying to get revenue up before godot takes their lunch in a few more years.

I am reminded of the backlash against player pianos, and of Sousa's "The Menace of Mechanical Music" (and his accompanying copyright advocacy), etc. I think he probably did accurately predict a drop in amateur music performance (and sheet music sales), though the cat had been out of the bag since the advent of orchestrions, street organs (and organ grinders), and other technology dating back to the 18th century and probably earlier.

> Doesn't your house get repossessed if you do this, and you end up with nothing?

Foreclosure is a long and expensive process and can result in very bad deals for the lender. Particularly during and in a fairly long shadow after the Great Recession, lenders were very reluctant to pull the trigger on that if they believed they could get a better resolution, and for most of the time I wasn't paying I was in the process of trying to get the bank to approve the short sale (had a potential buyer lined up.) Also, had located and, during the time in question, moved into a rental with an independent landlord and no management company who was more-than-typically flexible in assessing credit, so wasn't dependent on having the house. (Because of the same changed market conditions that left the first home loan underwater, the rental of a larger home in a better neighborhood was also less than the mortgage on the underwater one.)

Yes, though, foreclosure was a risk, but in a no-recourse state with an underwater loan being left “with nothing” is better from a narrow financial perspective (potentially worse for other reasons without alternate housing arranged, given how credit can effect that) than having the house and mortgage,

Tiny Wings and Alto's Adventure were standouts for me. Also Device 6 gave me some hope that puzzle games could be special on mobile. But that dream never materialized unfortunately.
Maybe, but I won’t mind. Everyone’s different and experiences different side effects, but for me personally the side effects were much more preferable to the way things were.
My T100TA has the processing power of an Raspberry Pi 4 and only consumes <10W.
It's mobile Hardware in the end and thus already optimized.

If you want to save power get a used Atom (like the one in my T100TA).
The are also very cheap.
A Dell Wyse 3040 (2GB RAM fixed) for example consumes 4W idling and < 10W under max load.
CPU Power is a bit better then the Raspberry Pi 4.
And it's only 40€/$

Buying appropriately sized, used hardware will have a better footprint.
Hah :) I was a senior/staff engineer at a startup where Wally was head of marketing and Joe was co-founder. We all worked together for several years before a successful exit. PerfectRec is their new thing and I was pleasantly surprised to see them in this thread!
The entire of the article is that the contest is a sham, not a comparative thing about the subjectivity of taste.

Bad wine clearly stands out as bad. Bad wine doesn’t mean “wine you don’t like”. It means “technically flawed wine such that even if you liked this wine you would be very unlikely to prefer it to others in its category”.
If the game would only have worthwhile achievements then something like a quest log would be suffice for the non-obvious ones. A quest log and quest item tab can be used to ensure the player knows they'll reuse an item.
Being able to hold a pen in your hand and write a note that looks legible is a fundamental skill. One should be able to write a message on a card that does not make the recipient want to puke or at least wonder if whether the author survived what looks like an obvious stroke. It’s a matter of self respect.

With the older phones and the 90s computers, they were patently inadequate for the jobs they were doing. Every upgrade gave incredibly useful capacity.

Now the phones are more than adequate. The upgrades are often fairly nice. Some years we've had 20% increases in processing speed or a doubling of the RAM be greeted with a yawn.

And this makes sense because we aren't really constrained for most of our uses. But the phones were not generally tripling in capability in years past.
And then you can't power the phone. Real good on your road trip, while you're draining the battery with navigation.

USB audio adapters are barely even a thing, and the Lightning dongles often suck ass. I mean nearly-unusable sound quality, with weird hiss blasting because of some defective automatic gain function (for example; that was a Belkin).

Getting rid of the headphone jack was indefensible, but people putting up with it was even worse. Worst of all is cheerleading for that anti-customer, anti-quality move.
It's downright nonsense because the NYC MTA and even the notoriously incompetent Boston MBTA can do it. Meanwhile Amtrak apparently can't do it either, but at least they have the luxury of long wait times between arrival and departure.

The top-5 mailing lists seem like the way that is achieved. My personal experience is that as a line manager at a company I actually know a ton more about who is doing well across departments than the CEO probably does. My view is direct and unmoderated while the CEOs is not.

Interesting. I can't confirm though - I personally changed my 2FA device 2 weeks ago using a backup code. I couldn't find old yubikey that I used as 2FA for google, decided to regain access with a backup code and add my new yubikey, and it worked flawlessly. It probably helped that I used the same machine as always. Google does a lot of undocumented heuristics in the background, and you either get additional verification or not.
Dang - yeah, or maybe a twist from warping?
I haven't seen the phrase 'critical thinking' in a long time. The concept of a standard has dropped, though kids are exposed to much more generalized criticism online than we were in school.

You can post anything online and get global feedback (at least in theory, people are silo-ing more everyday). You can see others get harsh feedback. There's youtube channels dedicated to tearing apart X Y and Z products for their flaws.

Unfortunately the internet returns most people to the mean or average, within a bell curve. There's some incredible knowledge online, but it's not enough to replace a critical university teacher leaning over your shoulder, or working under a master craftsman and enduring his continual destruction of your failed attempts. Standards are hard won.

Holding an internal standard and conscience has been subverted upvotes/downvotes and by the internet in general, in my view.

Hypotheticaly subtract internet points and approval seeking from the online world, and you'll see the idea of a individual standard re-emerge, I bet.

Edit: Handwriting is super important. Typing on keyboards has an arbitrary mapping between action and outcome. Handwriting directly connects your muscles and mind together and gives permenancy to your handiwork that forces consideration. I keep a diary, by hand. I cross out mistakes and initial them. Best habit in my life, would not trade it for the world. Any serious thoughts I need to 'get out' or improve, go there.
I’ve found the Tabasco Sriracha to be the best of the alternatives I have tried. I’ve lol have to try the Hoy Fung brand again when available again but we will see. I was very surprised because I think Tabasco tastes awful.
OK, thanks. I was imagining that perhaps the person had composed their reply in Word and then copy-pasted it as a comment, which seemed like overkill for an HN comment.

> On that note: a good typographer will use single quotes for quoting ‘single’ words.

Really? I find that surprising. At least in the US, the majority of style guides only recommend using single quote marks when embedding a quote within a quite.
