I am making this question because I am trying to understand what exactly people mean when they say things. In this case, I'm trying to understand the full context of the phrase practicing gratitude.

A definition of the word "gratitude" I've found online is:

the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness

Which implies that someone has shown kindness to us, and we're feeling grateful for their kindness.

So when you say "I'm grateful for being alive", to whom exactly are you grateful? Who exactly has shown you kindness by letting you be alive? More generally, who exactly has shown you kindness by giving you everything good that you're grateful for?

The only entity that could possibly be responsible for everything is a hypothetical omnipotent entity - a god. So outside the religious frame of mind, the answer is "nobody", and the word "gratitude" here means something else than it usually means when used in everyday context. In that case, I'd like to know the exact meaning in this special case.

But I think I've got my answer in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37566516
> We can seen where the policing has broken down, because the states trying to maintain democracy and the Post-WWII world order have tried appeasement or failed to police.

We’ve also seen where it succeeded in its real goals, which are often not democracy or any rules based order, but the parochial security and economic interests of the powers doing the “policing".

We've also seen that the power that holds itself up as the primary architect and enforcer of a “rules-based international order” particularly refuses (often with histrionic gestures, like the act nicknamed the Hague Invasion Act) to subject itself to the the rules and institutions of that order.

> It is endless war crimes, cities reduced to rubble,

Yes, we've seen that caused by the active engagement, not merely the restraint, of the “policing” powers.

> So, if you are going to throw accusations that the US, UK, FR, NATO, attempting to maintain whatever peaceful world order is some kind of problem or is illegitimate,

What I said was the suggestion that powrful countries policing the behavior of others is not imperialism but something categorically different is self-delusion.

Its others making the implicit claim that imperialism is illegitimate and what is legitimate is some other order that exists only in fantasy.

(I can certainly conceive if something that would be legitimate in a way that the imperialist order is not, but as I see no obvious pass yo achieving it, its not worth advocating.) But in the meantime, without a route out, the best way to mitigate the worst potential harms of the imperialist order starts with recognizing the nature of that order for what it is, and understanding where it is prone, by nature, to oroduce bad outcomes.
I assume the new standard will be the top comment is a nitter.net link similar to how the top link on paywalled news sites is an archive.is link.
to be fair, many countries' governments have this same issue, and even when they do something the UX feels like something from 2002. The thing is, its complex, often the job pays way below market rate and government jobs often have rigid salary tiers, hiring might not be done like a normal tech co. as you might also have specific public servants to do it, and then you have culture, which might rule out certain people or cultivate attitudes towards work. Beyond that, in developed democracies like Germany, what gets funded long enough to be pushed to production can depend on election cycles and public opinion. Additionally, the big 4 have a big presence in developed countries and they often get these 100 million <currency> contracts to do stuff like that and... enough said.

Great question. It seems hardly anyone is there or posts actively. I currently only follow two of the people I used to follow on Twitter, can't find anyone else.
You are right, that bar to prove it is too high. Apparently that doesn't stop people from claiming it nevertheless.

Meh, give me a Firefox extension connecting to lichess anyday.
Yeah. For complex CMS driven websites I’d always choose Webflow. But to have it all nice and combined in one tool handling non-trivial complex software projects I really don’t know of a single platform out there for that…

Amazon Alexa, Google Nest. BTW, every smatphone has a WiFi.
That makes sense.

I just really dislike people framing it as "practicing gratitude". I guess it comes from the childhood feelings of being thankful to one's parents for stuff, which is then generalized to "any feeling that resembles that feeling".

I can accept "consciously acknowledge positive things in your life" and I can see why it would be beneficial to one's mental health. Depression and anxiety are often caused/worsened by focusing on the negative aspects of life.
He wasn't just active on forums, he was actively developing on Unity itself, in the weeds with all the other engineers. He arguably got a bit too involved at times, but it was very admirable for a "executive" who could retire on the interest of his shares in Unity to still take so much care in the product. I can't say that about many 10+ year old company founders, let alone ones that went public.

And of course the moment he silently stepped out, Unity rolls all this BS out in less than 6 months. Joe wasn't just champion of the tech, he was likely one of the last of the old guard up top keeping things focused on the actual product instead of how to extract infinite monies.

> This is WSL version 2.0 which contains WSL 1 and WSL 2, and though it's a Windows Subsystem for Linux it's actually a Linux Subsystem for Windows.

100% agree; I explain the current name to myself as "Windows offering a subsystem to run Linux into".

Fair enough. But does it really matter what all the dumb terminals are running, when most of the infra(servers) is running full blown GNU/Linux?
A lot of the terms I searched for returned no hits. The Firefox add-on crawls pages linked from Hacker News which is amusing perhaps but seems unlikely to crawl a representative selection of the web. Perhaps the user should be able to suggest pages to be crawled.

But when it does find something it is very quick! So I'll give it a go.

I had to laugh out loud. I want to say that's unrealistic, but alas, it unfortunately is not.
(founder here) Webiny is an option I would recommend checking out. It's open-source, so unlike Webflow, you can actually creation your own low-code components. Webiny has a Page Builder, Form Builder, File Manager and a Headless CMS. All products can be configured and use as a low-code solutions.
Sure, but this has nothing to do with ACME itself. The attack model here is "if the attacker is effectively in control of the domain, then they can demonstrate that control." That's a way stronger posture than being able to maliciously MITM a specific ACME session, which (I think) is what the original concern was.

However, even with the full MITM here, this attack assumes that the attacker can proxy plaintext to the host. I'm not aware of many sites that allow sensitive actions (e.g. logging in) over HTTP anymore.

(And, as you note, this is detectable via CT. But it's fair to point out that many/most smaller operators probably aren't bothering to monitor public CT logs for unexpected issuances.)
I've personally read An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning: Numbers, Sets and Functions Paperback by Peter Eccles and Chapter Zero by Carol Schumacher and would recommend them both.

Sadly, this is not an easy thing to learn and requires a lot of work and most importantly discipline. You mustn't let yourself be at all complacent. It's very easy when doing exercises by yourself to believe that you've "got the idea" and you can "see how it works", but the key is to actually write _everything_ down, so that there is no room for handwaving at all. This is not easy to force yourself to do, but it is necessary.
It sounds really nice when you say it like this, I've always felt bad about all the hoops you have to go through as a foreigner in the Nordics. I wish I had time to rate countries on different bureaucracy flows like the ones you list; child care, immigrant, bank account, id theft, police report, filing and paying taxes as a employee, handling sales tax. You get so blind to these small inefficiencies.

Try registering or deregistering a vehicle in a major German city. That once took me three months, because I simply couldn't get an appointment via the web interface set up especially for that purpose. Since Covid, the process is kind of broken, at least in my city.
I've been using git for windows / msys2 bash for a while on top of WSL2 - you don't find it to be annoyingly slow?
I think this is uniform across Germany, and I think the legal requirement might be either be registered or have an appointment to be registered, similar to other legally required appointments, which (from my understanding) causes issues regarding endless-reschedule loopholes.
>You might be correct about the future: maybe all work will become remote and to take it a step further let's say that all friendships, dating, education, and community move to remote/metaverse. NYC no longer has any value beyond things like access to a good harbor.

Even if it's all remote work, many people like the urban lifestyle, of many things to do, shops, bars, pilates, nail saloons, pizza places, comedy clubs, dance clubs, delis, cafes, culture centers, galleries, gelato shops, museums, libraries, and so on. So, it's not like all incentives to a big city are office work opportunities.
I am a bit concerned about the source. It seems like a conspiracy theories head-to-toes, see their other publications.
It works though, a younger generation is a big fan of Opera GX. In part because it's aimed / branded for GaMeRs, in part because it comes with a free VPN so they can get around parental controls.

I ran into something similar as a Dutch person trying to buy a car from Germany. The initial plan was to drive the car back from Germany, but to do this I had to get an export license plate. This can only be done in the municipality where the car was sold, and they told me I was lucky because I could get an appointment quite quick, which was a month and a half from now. I would also have to bring the car to the Straßenverkehrsamt. How I would have gotten the car there was also a mystery to me, as I did not have a license plate and to get a license plate I would have to bring the car there. If I did somehow manage to do that though, I would have to get a physical license plate made and then get temporary insurance. Not a single German insurance company said they could insure the temporary license plate, as I was not already an existing customers of theirs. I ended up just renting a car transporter and bringing it home that way.

The process of getting a license plate once home was actually a breeze. I used the website of the Dutch Vehicle Authority to make an appointment (for the following day at 2pm) and they gave me a temporary license plate. I simply had to write this on a piece of cardboard and put it where the license plate would go. Called the cheapest insurance company to get temporary insurance, which was no problem, and simply drove the car to get it inspected.
Not recently, but there was a steady drain of talent. The two heads of the DOTS initiative were gone by May of this year and the CTO, and the last original Founder of Unity, and arguably largest champion of DOTS, silently stepped down in April when introducing the new CTO. Johacim's official status is apparently "sabbatical" (I'm sure he owns way too much stock and other sway to be hoisted out the traditional way).
Yes, that's why the "uninitialized" part is important; we're talking about a mitigation that would make UB potentially easier rather than harder to exploit.

Having 0 as a default initialization value in a language where doing so is well defined makes perfect sense; this is primarily an issue for C and C++ (to a lesser extent).
> Then in 2016 a counter terrorism law was passed and it sounds like they ISPs/telecoms are required to store everything for 6 months and it merely has to be requested by “authorities” (guessing beyond just the FSB) without a court order

Russia is not alone. The EU required the same thing from 2006, until the EU Court struck it down in 2014: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Retention_Directive

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_retention#European_Union is a fun read in how the EU fined countries for adhering to their respective national constitutions and refusing to implement that directive.

Looking beyond the EU, there are plenty of allegedly democratic countries on that wiki page with legally-required data retention:

In 2015, the Australian government introduced mandatory data retention laws that allows data to be retained up to two years. [..] It requires telecommunication providers and ISPs to retain telephony, Internet and email metadata for two years, accessible without a warrant

Ho hum.
I directly argued the core points of the article.

There is no magical 50K revenue plateau, nor is there a math formula that dictates anything about agencies (they aren't Saas, humans cannot be replicated at zero marginal cost). And there are tons of agencies over 50K monthly revenue (if you have 3-4+ employees, which literally tens of thousands of agencies do, you're likely over that number). The core of the article is wrong.

It is not typical in a marketing agency to sell a 2k/month package. That would only sound typical, if your entire knowledge of the professional services business comes from reading that DesignJoy guy's viral tweets. If you're repackaging human hours into tiny 2K/month slots, you're going to have a bad time if you aspire to be anything more than an overworked freelancer. That's not a business model that scales -- hence why a vast vast majority of agencies do not sell tiny "productized services" packages.

The reason? Its the worst of both worlds -- tiny ACV (in Saas parlance) with crazy high marginal cost. 99% of agencies go for high ACV with more bespoke project-based or AOR retainer agreements. It's a 500+ year old business, so things are the way they are for a reason.

And no, I'm not comparing to Deloitte. I was simply making the point that hundreds of agencies get acquired every year and rolled up into conglomerates like Deloitte. None of them do this Twitter-trendy productized services model.

It appears the author discovered what any professional services business-owner already knows. Then tried to "thought leader" the space with their 6 months of knowledge and bunch of fake-analytical charts.

Historically it was, according to the comment above by BirdieNZ:

The original Landlord's Game has two rulesets, and it switches to the Georgist ruleset when enough players agree (I think > half). The first ruleset is similar to modern Monopoly, but when enough players agree to switch because they're all getting destroyed by the top 1-2 players, then it changes to a Georgist style policy/rules.
That doesn't mean they can only benefit from it, it mean they can't be completely shafted.

If they get 2.4~2.5 Billions every year, or a year at 2.8 followed by a 2.1, it would be less, but not significantly less (the law of average make this last option a lot less likely).

The idea of the program is not to get all the money attributed to your country, I imagine the interest is also to pool specialist to evaluate the grant requests. In particular in small countries that just don't have enough people to have available specialists for everything.
It's a hard question to answer because really it depends on what you consider relevant computing in my opinion as well as how you interpret the post I was replying to. Despite the profit dominance of Apple for example, Android smartphones are the computer of the common man worldwide and so by extension the common man is coming into less and less contact with GNU. From that perspective it's hard to say that GNU will be part of what helps "avoid the seemingly inevitable slide into a techno-totalitarian future" as the original poster put it.
No lol why? Despair on the one and pitifulness on the other side..
WhatsApp is silently filling the void that Twitter has created. They introduced channels now and there are millions of followers using it already. Add WhatsApp to your list too.

At this point every app of Meta is becoming more or less same. People who have large number of followers are the ones getting followers on other Meta platform. New users still struggle on each of these platforms to gain followers.

Hoping a new platform emerges that will level up the playing field.

Disclaimer: I voted to remain, but this is a great example of misleading/fear mongering by the remain campaign. They very vocally claimed that all the "good bits" of the EU cooperation would be permanently ended by leaving the Union. As evidenced by this news and others, that is untrue. There is clearly room for close cooperation in many areas without surrendering sovereign control over your nation.
It also means something different [1], English is a huge unmanaged language, for a word with a possible interpretation, there will be a reference to that meaning in a dictionary somewhere.

I disagree. If the proportion of women in FSF was the same as "tech" in general, then your interpetation would be "colorable" [1].

However, the accusation is more specifically that the proportion of women in the FSF and FOSS in general is (or at least was under Stallman) significantly lower than that of women in programming jobs in general, which suggests that there is something more going on.

Following a 2009 FSF women's mini-summit in Boston, Bruce Perens acknowledged this difference, even offering an explanation: "... there are more women who hold technical jobs than there are women who so love the technology that they will work on it whether they get paid or not. That seems to be an especially male thing."

However, that was very much not the conclusion of discussions among women in tech at the time, who were more likely to cite the sexist behaviour of some prominent men as reasons they kept out of parts or all of FOSS/FSF. RMS' name certainly came up a lot.

Rachel Kroll also wrote a post back in 2018 with the title "Choosing to stay out of the community", talking about similar issues.

Apple Maps is vastly superior to Google at this point, especially for navigation. Google Maps cycling directions always take me through some smoke-filled tunnel or weird and not very cycleable back alleys. With Apple Maps I can mostly just blindly follow the directions.

I've also had similar experiences in quite a few places in Europe and South America.
