red meat in middle age is associated with Male Erectile Dysfunction, accelerated tumor growth, and colon cancers, particularly processed meat like hot dogs. But that is a personal topic. On the greater scale, the ability of people to put long-term survival ahead of immediate gratification is part of the remarkable story of humanity.

Both of these are reasons to reconsider absolutism on this topic, no?
Svelte 5 is basically a Vue 3 wannaba; except that it has a smaller ecosystem/community, a smaller team, and is less feature-rich. Genius, really. It just lost its #1 selling point and they're talking about it as if it's a good thing.

Indeed! Here it is in brief from another article on the subject

"...Leonardo’s rule [for how trees branch] says that the thickness of a limb before it branches into smaller ones is the same as the combined thickness of the limbs sprouting from it."

I've been enjoying these various comments but for me, yours takes the cake. Thanks!
Seems unlikely. I don't have access to the paste but from the comment below it I think it's probably a false positive that Pangu was doing something with the sensor. (Not that I don't doubt that the sensor could be the problem, it's just that the code is not very conclusive.)
A better XML encoding would be the following, optimally with a schema that would define allowed values.

i doubt that is just regular ads tracking like before. this smells as telecom tower data leak, across the board.
That term has been used for negative externalities of industrial practices for many decades. In fact, according to Wikipedia, "the commons problem is one of the ten most common system archetypes." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_archetype#Tragedy_of_th...)

Still, I think I agree with you that the villagers are not the level to look for a solution.
Keep it down please - not everyone has queued into the scam that is carbon credits yet. Pay some 3rd party money with the promise they're offset your carbon emissions or plant trees, then go back to polluting however you want. It's quite the thing... but you get to claim you're Carbon Neutral in the meantime!
It's not easy to admit game addiction. But many suffer from it.

And it impacts many careers. I've seen what excess of games can do with people in college and in work. It's devastating.
You’re going to play it. And that’s ok.

Abstinence in common things, or even required things like food is a challenge. Saying you’ll never play is just setting up for failure so when you crack, you play more.

What works for me is to set some non-zero target. That way when I fail, I fail by a percentage instead of an infinite percentage. Pledging zero and playing for an hour is much worse seeming than pledging an hour and playing two. Only a 100% overage.
The only reliable way I've found (so far) to shuttle Facebook Pages into something easily to consume (RSS) is unfortunately a paid service... even paid IFTT doesn't support a page posts -> fire webhook/email/etc sadly. Unfortunate, since some local government stuff or otherwise noteworthy stuff is... only available on Facebook. Sometimes it's available on 'X'/Twitter but often not as detailed, or it links to Facebook for more details.
I think it’s likely that other databases do not keep the query string you sent it around but convert it into some internal structure.

Converting that back to the query string you sent may be impossible because that structure won’t record comments, line breaks, indents, escaped characters and the like.

Converting it to a query string that, when sent back, produces the same internal structure should be possible, but as user selecsosi wrote “Most of this I would expect to be more on the client side than server”.
I have this but with internet\social media instead of videogames. I'd actually like to play more videogames, but my attention span is shot. I'm working on it but it's a long road.
It's wild to think that just one fat fingering mistake was responsible for the collapse of the whole FTX and Alameda ecosystem.

Use it again! It's much better now. I promise. Not perfect, but pretty nice. Cohesive integration could be better, but it's getting there. I swear.

Svelte 5 is just Vue 3 with a smaller ecosystem. That's basically it.
I guess but that feels more applicable to an individual contributor role, albeit a very senior one. VPs I've known in my 30+ years in software are fully booked all day every day. A professor maybe gets to count his outside work as part of his research efforts but what about say class load, mentoring grad students, serving on committees, and the like?

Ah, Linux, still figuring out what the designers of the Amiga knew 40 years ago.
who would pay to get yelled at by some guy who thinks your opinion on toasted sandwiches is not that amusing?

you want people to pay to communicate online? then you have to separate out the communication from the 'outside', and charge for access to that bubble. and you can't lie about the degree of separation, or it all breaks down to free-services again.

twitter as a free-for-all across society into people's tweets (readers, bot scrapers, governments, market researchers, moms, journalists, ai bros, ect) has killed it's ability to charge for access. well it never had the capability to charge for access.

if you make a bullet proof bubble and then open up the communication to market forces and government spying, (even in name only) then people will publicly say it's okay but the service will lose it's value and the service will descend into freedom again where nobody values it enough to pay.

the craving for security and the belief that all computer communications must run through the government and market scrapers, at all costs, has destroyed the ability to charge for access to information, the basic lifeblood and commodity of the internet.

the west and the western internet is in a bad place, because you cannot have a truly private conversation, for free and for money.
Does workflow mean prompt?
Good for you? Different people have different challenges, I salute you for standing up to yours. I don't think you should change your mind on this, the feeling of sticking to you 'will' is better than any game.
My phone always has battery, and even when it doesn’t I can still use the underground via express cards. I haven’t used a card in a few years - not having to carry a wallet around is quite nice.

"What came first, the music or the misery? Did I listen to music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to music? Do all those records turn you into a melancholy person?"

"People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and pain and misery and loss. The unhappiest people I know, romantically speaking, are the ones who like pop music the most; and I don't know whether pop music has caused this unhappiness, but I do know that they've been listening to the sad songs longer than they've been living the unhappy lives."
Some people require abstinence and even total social avoidance to fight addiction. Some people need moderation.

There isn't a one size fits all, and I don't think advocating for OP to give in when they've got a long history of unhealthy behavior is wise -- at least, it's unwise unless you know a lot more about OP.
It was a massive failure of marketing because it not only upset the right-wingers for the usual reasons, who are a large segment of their customers, but also pissed off a lot of women of all political stripes who didn't appreciate seeing this ridiculous, misogynistic male being celebrated.

Do you mean non-json types? Because the supported types seem pretty straightforward. (besides perhaps supporting null bytes in strings in things like postgresql)

Care to explain? This has always seemed like one of jsons strengths. The syntax for what is valid is pretty straightforward.
I played competitive HaloCE through 3 at a professional level. XBConnect is what people playing competitive CE used prior to halo 2 and xbox live. Game was playable up to about 60ms, with <40 greatly preferred. Hosts had a large advantage, but off host was very predictable, and required leading the targets.

The same advantage existed on LAN, with competitive tournaments setup to trade host advantage for team color advantage. The last in person CE lan I attended, we were playing on modded Xboxes with a patched version of the game that allowed a third box as a neutral host, and added an on screen timer. Happy to expand on the details if anyone is interested.

Why can't more software just use libucl and let users decide how human readable they like their configurations?
HealthyGamer on YouTube has excellent material on video game addiction. I imagine his actual therapy sessions are great too judging by the videos of his sessions online, but I don't know how feasible it is to get a therapy session with him.
That's all very cool and I'm glad it works for you, but it doesn't for others. As the author notes, "I wish I could just play them in moderation like most people, but because of my addiction that is much harder for me than simply abstaining."
If it helps at all, the game isn't _that_ good.
Ask HN: Is there any public infrastructure for a key-value store?
Hello HN,

I've been slowly building a p2p networking library and I'm mostly happy with the technical decisions I've made. But one aspect I'm struggling with is providing a feature similar to DNS. I'd like for users to be able to share simple names that can be used to fetch a value.

So far I've built everything in a way where the core design can be run with public infrastructure using standard protocols. E.g. STUN to lookup external addresses and MQQT for routing signalling messages. The desired properties I'd like for the naming service would include something like:

1. There should be pre-existing servers on the Internet that can be used to store the key-values and they shouldn't be a one-off thing. E.g. a single, one-off service wouldn't be decentralized or ubiquitous enough; It should ideally be based on a pre-existing, open protocol.

2. It should be 'federated' and mostly reliable. Running this as random peers that go up and down introduces too many problems. I believe using a DHT for this is the wrong solution and would be unnecessarily complex.

3. It should be possible for peers to own keys. Otherwise, anyone can hijack the values and set values to anything they like. The mechanism this is done by doesn't matter. But since this should be programmatically possible -- requiring email registration or captchas isn't viable.

4. If the data expires eventually this isn't a problem for the design. So long as data persists for some kind of reasonable time-frame.

I know that on the Internet there are many protocols that anyone can use. Like ICMP, for example. But I haven't been able to think of a protocol or service that could be repurposed as a key-value store. I think that such a service (for example - say if it were part of home routers - and designed well) would be a very useful addition to the Internet. I'm okay with designing this around an unintended use for an existing system so long as it wouldn't degrade the service.

I do respect the technical minds of HN users so if you read my massive post, thanks a lot.
Have you ever connected with the folks behind XBConnect?
Biology isn't mathematics.

Yes, in math you can't prove things by example.

But in biology that's the only way you form knowledge.

Biology doesn't have axioms. In biology, proof is by induction. However philosophically unsatisfying that may be.

Good for you. I have the same problem with food. It’s getting much worse. I hope I can find the same strength.

To be honest, I played it for a few hours and I found it to be way too complicated. I gave up after a few hours.
This will boost adoption at so many levels:
- Importing a Truffle language as a regular Maven dependency
- Ease integration with mainstream package managers
- Ability to update to the latest language version, independently of the JVM used

I'm still in awe at how smooth the Truffle "unchaining" worked out with no API changes (just a few necessary additions).
The biggest problem I can see is that Israeli Nationalists deliberately conflate "Jews" and "Israelis". This is a short-term advantage for the "Israelis" as any criticism of 'Zionist Israeli Policies' can advantageously be denounced as 'anti-semitic'.

On the other hand, being conflated with "Israelis" is a long-term problem for the "Jews", whether they be 'Zionists', 'Israelis' or not.

During WW2 The Allies happily conflated "Nazis" and "Germans", so that every dead German was considered to be a 'Dead Nazi'. The point here is that it took at least a whole generation, about 30 years, before Germans were considered 'Germans' again, and not automatically 'Nasty Nazis'.

Likewise, I believe it will take the "Jews" probably more than a generation to throw off that epithet of "Israeli Apartheid" and all the opprobrium that goes with that after the "Israelis" eventually learn to reintegrate with the rest of the world. Something which could easily have been prevented by the Jews themselves not accepting the conflation of "Israeli" and "Jew".
In the video they specifically talk about a platform for building on, and there is mention of this find contracting conclusions about the nomadic nature of “folks” at the time. Both indicate they went straight to the abode idea.

The youngest of children will start assembling logs near shore when swimming at a lake. The crossing of the logs would help stabilize them so crossing would be safer and dry, which is critical in transporting some goods. The raft is more consistent with existing evidence, but less compelling to the modern world which expects homes to have floors.

Good for you op. Word of unsolicited advice: plan some activities that fill the void of your video game time. It can be anything like drawing, cooking, hiking or whatever.

If you sit around on the couch hyper focused on not playing the game, you will surely crack.
> But one of them has schema descriptions

JSONSchema? It's pretty standardized and well accepted.
I struggled with game addiction. I found that I have a very addictive personality, when I like stuff, I REALLY LIKE IT. Apparently, I also found out that alcoholism runs in my family, it feels like it might be related.

I understand the struggle of gaming especially when most of your life isn't going so great. The appeal of escapism is hard to bear, that's why on most of my computers I can't install any video games because I found when I said yes to Dota, I was saying no to greater priorities in life.

The thing I stopped being hard on myself however is considering that the time spent playing video games was entirely wasted. My 1,600+ hours playing Dota weirdly enough translated into video editing skills that now help with my job. The anger that I had playing the game caused me to deeply look into managing said emotion. The reflection that I had a problem meant that I could improve myself overall. Sometimes a metaphor, such as games, makes us realize the deep seated issues we had all along...

Great post.
Exactly. <wink>
Why does anyone need special training to pull off and install line replaceable black box parts.
I used to know an older woman who did trap and eat squirrels as her main source of protein, so... this isn't entirely unlikely.
It's strange how people lambast video games like they're a dangerous addiction but praise those who take time to read, watch cinema, or attend theatrical performances. We all consume our art in our own ways.

Maybe we should appreciate what was made by humans while it's still being produced.
Agreed. It's best to see a professional on the best approach for one to take with regards to controlling addictions. It's hard to have an unbiased perspective of your behaviour when you're under the spell.
> We are baffled as to how first-word cheaters actually have fun playing

that’s the thing. they don’t.

these people aren’t cheating at a game, they are trying to cheat their biology.

push the easy reward button, reach for that chemical adjustment that is desperately needed.
i don't recall this crash. must have been nanoseconds. I guess in hindsight that was the least of its problem. billions dollars missing makes ten million a drop in the bucket.
Good on you. I hope you're able to resist and come up happier for it.

For what it's worth, I'm playing BG3. It's a good game, but it's not transcendent.

And while I don't suffer from gaming addiction, I do tend to dive into the games I play with all of my free time that, when I've finished a game (if I don't walk away before the end,) I look around at the rest of the hobbies I enjoy and lament the time I haven't been spending with them. Regret from my choice of escapism?
You see this a lot in React/JSX too. Saves seme typing and noise inserting a component with no children.
Isn't it already extremely playable? I've been playing it on and off, though I don't know if half the campaign is missing.
This is very idealistic and removed from reality. Most companies are so messed up that there is no coherent strategy, so you cannot require a single product manager to have an excellent roadmap, when the conditions for creating one is not there. You also may be working on a product or area that is far below the high level strategy, so it's goals would be different.

If an engineer really goes and thinks they should evaluate a roadmap like this, that's toxic.
It comes out for the Mac tomorrow and I'm already not playing it, because I got a Steam Deck this summer as my new gaming machine and haven't had any interest in it. shrug

There's an incredible amount of entertainment media out there now. Way too much to experience any significant fraction of it. You've got to pick and choose. And if you know this particular kind of game will eat your life and leave you feeling a lot sadder than the amount of fun it gives you, then good job for realizing this and staying away.
This reads like some productivity porn blog, and looking at othe post titles reinforces that impression. I think that kind of stuff is if anything a more dangerous addiction - gaming is obviously "time consumption", whereas time you devote towards your "career" or "growth" feels like "time investment" - http://www.paulgraham.com/selfindulgence.html .

Some people can't enjoy a game responsibly, and for a few people teetotal may be the only way. But honestly this post sounds like someone substituting one addiction with another (publishing their daily journal) that's not actually any better for them, just less fun.
This resonated with me, thank you for writing it. My own personal rule now is that video game playing should also be social time. I started playing BG3 using wine (on Mac) when it came out, but only with friends. Gaming time is (crucial) social time.

Eagerly anticipating this game has brought me back to my childhood days when playing the game I wanted seems like the ultimate fun, but of course now I have responsibilities. Now playing is a reward for myself if I handle everything else and again, only with friends. Even though I've been tempted dozens of times in the last month to fire it up for a solo session, that rule has stood me in good stead.
It's not your hosting provider that did that, it's the Debian project.
The decentralization helps. When you can call your mayor and complain about roads being in bad shape, you can get them fixed. Meanwhile, if there’s bad train service in your town, you might need an act of Congress to help you.
I intentionally caused a problem like this for a co-worker in 1996.

He was a flamboyant character and had a habit of talking loudly on the phone for an hour or so a day. I modified his mouse driver to give me remote control on demand and installed it when he was away from his computer.

For the next few weeks, I would wait for his daily call and gradually move his mouse as he was trying to use his computer. He was visibly frustrated and eventually caught me when he went on a rampage during his conversation and he caught me laughing.
I picked up a weird variation of that since I removed social media apps from my phone. I love BG3 and find the story engrossing but I need to hit pause and do a few laps of the living room every 10 minutes. esp bad since this game does not actually pause the world when you flip to a menu...

I used to be able to focus on a game or anything else for as long as I wanted.

Specifically for video games, I actually think abstinence is much more achievable than moderation, because if you haven't installed the game yet you can't get any instant gratification. In a moment of weakness you might click install in Steam, but then 20 minutes later it's still downloading and you aren't having fun yet and maybe you come to your senses and cancel the download. You could even uninstall Steam to make it more difficult for yourself.

If it's already there ready to play, it's incredibly difficult to limit yourself to a certain time period (if you're addicted). Endless instant gratification, zero friction, the game never gives you an opportunity to pull yourself out of it.
