I'm always surprised when I see things like this on HN. Also complaints about it auto-rebooting to install updates, requiring an MSN account, etc.

I turn all that stuff off when I first install it, so I see none of those problems. I just kind of assume any tech-savvy person or power-user would also do so.

And we might think the defaults suck. Rightfully, they would for us. But for granny or a gen-Z kid with no computer knowledge? Somebody who isn't going to know to make backups, run scheduled updates, or know the difference between local search and internet search? Those defaults probably make sense.

For me, it works great because I turn that stuff off and I know how to manage a computer. For people who don't, it also probably mostly works great, because they don't have to know how to do that.

Seems like there's just this one odd slice of people caught in the middle who know enough to get irritated by the defaults, but not enough to configure their system the way they want it. If you're in that group, then you're tech-savvy enough to look up how to change the settings to make it work the way you want. I encourage you to do so and make those changes to save yourself some stress and irritation.

Thanks for posting this.Is MPRIS / Playercontrol supporting this? I did not find anything in Archwiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/MPRIS

My idea was a bit more `low level`, e.g. looking at the amplitute of the microphone input to check, if the remote clicks can be distinguished from everything else.

Currently, the clicks are a full peak for a defined period of time, and with this, I could implement a deamon watching for these peaks and then run specific actions via dbus (e.g. Play, Pause, etc.).

If this was implemented in the kernel / OS layer, it would work like on macOS, but I'm not sure, that there would be security considerations and what would be about a turned of microphone. Seems that the mic cannot be turned off on macOS?! :-)
The reason for Riot->RiotX (aka Element) on Android was to both move to a modern Android UI idiom, move to Kotlin, and have a well defined storage interface and switch to Rx patterns, whereas the original app had been built somewhat organically. And yes, the maintainer had changed.

The reason for Element -> Element X is in order to share precisely the same Rust SDK between iOS and Android (and maybe other platforms in future), so all the heavylifting happens in one single audited codebase, rather than doubling up all the development between iOS and Android, doubling the bug count, etc. It’s also a good opportunity to simplify the data flows, which are surprisingly subtle and performant in a messaging app; I’m not sure how much Rx remains. In this instance, the maintaining team remained the same.
Why are we still talking about Freud?

Some researchers studied how to be happy. Unsurprisingly they also found no support for Freudian ideas that were popular 30 years ago.

The Cambridge University PR office still leads by stating Freudian ideas as the "accepted narrative". Maybe they are? But this is the least novel result of the study, and yet it's in the headline.

Obviously we shouldn't shoot the messenger: science writers are just going for clicks like most of the internet.
But wow, Freud dug us quite a deep hole to climb out of.
> The interface belongs in the 90s

That’s… a compliment? There have been very few positive interface developments in the last 2 decades for power users. If you want to rip out 95% of the functionality and 99% of the usefulness so morons with iPads can navigate it, then it probably needs adjustments.

Ask Dall-E to draw a goalpost mounted on wheels. That'll solve your problem in the general case.
There is a big difference, though. In English you would usually say grandma/grandpa and rarely qualify by on which side.

In Swedish and Norwegian you always specify because the words for grandparents are inherent specific to whether they are paternal or maternal.

You're not disagreeing with the actions of politicians, you're calling all of them "literally the least qualified people to discuss anything tech related". That is an incredibly big lie, and you know it. Yet you wrote it anyway. It's ranting, and the target is representative democracy.
No I didn't understand that, since aunt and uncle doesn't mean that in my language. I thought it was just parents sister and brother, I didn't know that parent in laws were also considered aunts and uncles.
Mine doesn't do any of that. (Except maybe the telemetry, which I don't care about.) You've configured yours wrong if it is doing that.

Why does the Mullvad installer need 500mb and access to my downloads folder?
I've only heard good things about this product, in terms of their non-tracking/non-logging policies.

However 2 red flags immediately just went off. First, their installer is 500mb. Half a gig? Its a VPN, something that can be done extremely secure with builtin software and/or openssh. And it denied installing itself until I gave permissions to access my downloads folder.

These seem like glaring issues to me as a new user and entirely antithetical to what Mullvad claims to be doing.

I was lucky enough to have been forced to work with Linux in Uni, and when I first set it up myself (trying out two or three distros because I actually managed to bork the first installation somehow), it was in an environment that embraced discovery and I wasn't on my own.

Look how high the banks are, and they're not undercut. The water must be getting up near that level with some amount of frequency to erode it like that.

This looks like a lowpoint for a fairly wide area, so this creek is collecting rainwater over a pretty substantial plain. The creek is also wider upstream and dramatically narrows under the bridge.

I wouldn't be surprised if that creek got 10 feet deep in heavy rain. There was a similar creek by my grandparents house that would get something like 15 feet deep and flood out the road.
> I feel that's taken a little out of context

Not necessarily, for one how often people really stare at the cues of a negative event, and try to suppress it versus trying to suppress an internal imagination of the event? Secondly, there’s a greater confound in which externalizing your fear to begin with has a positive effect on processing the affect.

It’s also not clear enough how the operationalize “the suppress”, because it is a difficult and paradoxical task to execute volitionally especially in the context of acute anxiety, because anxiety’s job is literally to interrupt your normal salience structure, and make it self salient non-volitionally.

There is another devil in the detail, the target negative events are self-selected by the participants, so in all likelihood, the most disturbing events are not going to be readily consciously available, and whatever comes up here are going to be things that are already filtered to be easier to deal with.

In contrast in obsessive compulsive disorder, the intrusiveness of the imaginations will be all consuming. In which case it is contraindicated to try suppressing the thought, because it definitely will backfire, as it is precisely what maintains the disorder, but instead it is about learning to stay unresponsive in the face of exposure (ie not scratching the itch) of such thoughts, which is known as exposure and response prevention. Yet still, this method is not found to be necessarily more successful than straight out CBT either.
The bogus CVE problem has caused delays in my projects because the CIO wants our COTS scanner tool reports to have 0 CVE's or a detailed explanation on why it is not an issue.

This post inspired me to add a similar post to my own blog. Why?

Today I needed to parse some JSON at the command line and do some basic search and replaces and convert it all to CSV. The API call was easy enough with wget, and I was going to use JQ to parse the JSON. But after fiddling with it for 20 minutes and not having much luck, I resorted to my favorites:

Awk, sed, grep, cut. Save API call output to a couple of temp files, parse it with the aforementioned Unix staples in a for loop, And unless time than it would have taken me to properly learn JQ, I had the output and was able to ship it off to my customer.

Sometimes the best tool for the job is the tool you know, love, and trust.

Arguing against optimism is arguing against the history of science. We have cures to diseases that were declared unavoidable divine judgements, we have achieved feats of engineering that would be unimaginable a century ago. I am not arguing for the deapoilation of the planet. We should preserve our resources as best we can. But future growth requires the usage of what resources we do have, in to achieve outcomes and efficiencies far better than we can imagine.

I do agree though, if science wasn't verifiable, it would sound like a pyramid scheme.

That’s really not the case at all. In our experience in production there’s no timeouts and latency has only gotten better over time. Your comment was more accurate in early May of this year (but even then an exaggeration).
The reality is that it’s very difficult to come by any research that shows that higher IQ leads to worse outcome (which your delta hypothesis claims).

We also know that iq correlated over 0.95 between same person taking the test on a different day, so any claim around daily fluctuation is exaggerated except for outlier cases. Your claims paint a different picture.
chatgpt is really good for creating the correct jq queries.

>ukrainian government acts exceedingly ungrateful for starlink

>musk wonders why he's paying out of pocket for this, says spacex wont eat the cost anymore

>US gov offers contract to continue funding starlink support

>someone in US admin leaks the story making musk look bad

>musk gets guilt tripped into continuing to pay for it

>shotwell asks musk why the hell he's not taking the governments money

>ukranians strap a bomb to an amphib drone planning to blow up ships in crimea

>drones lose signal

>he tells them he never turned it off, it was always off over crimea

>musk then says on principle he wont turn it on unless the president asks because he doesnt want to support an escalation of the war

Musk should have never offered up Starlink to be honest, and I think the ukranians are starting to wear out the good will of the west. We don't have anymore money to send them and zelensky's threat of ukranian diaspora aggression in the west was pretty sinister.

>There's nothing further for me to learn from the situation

its unlikely that you are suppressing anything. To be at that point you have to had dealt with it already and are just not getting hung up on the past anymore. Which you arguably shouldnt, having dealt with the situation means you know what to look out for in the future to not become that version of yourself again. There is nothing left to suppress here, people arent a static entity through time.

Suppression for me implies not having dealt with the situation and not having learnt its lessons. Otherwise you wouldnt need to suppress it.

The whole thread is really a great showcase for assumed attribution of meaning and the inherit loss in complexity in language.
Interestingly, when we were hosting some Ukrainian refugees recently, "sister" or "brother" could refer to a literal sibling or a cousin. I was unaware of different kinship terminologies until today (thanks again, HN), but that kind of nomenclature is similar to the Hawaiian system.

My view is it's sort of a balance. There's a place for confronting negative thoughts but it's possible to spend too much energy doing so which can also have negative consequences.

The problem is that you can't "weed" your mind, that's not how minds really work. It's not a garden at all, it's a learning system. The things you pay attention to are also the things which become more prominent. Attention is ultimately sunlight and water for memories if we need to use a gardening analogy.

The problem really comes when the memory becomes intrusive. At that point you're forced to do something to tackle it because it's growing anyway.
