Zur Verwirrung mit psychischen Erkrankungen trägt die heimtückische Epidemie der Demoralisierung bei. Da sie einige Symptome mit Depressionen teilt, tendiert die Demoralisierung dazu, genauso falsch bezeichnet und behandelt zu werden, wie manch eine psychische Erkrankung.

In der Vergangenheit beschränkte sich das Verständnis von Demoralisierung auf bestimmte Extremsituationen, wie z.B. lähmende Körperverletzung, unheilbare Krankheiten, Kriegsgefangenenlager oder unmoralische Militärtaktiken. Aber mit der kulturellen Vielfalt, um es mal subtil auszudrücken, entwickeln sich hinter den Kulissen des normalen Alltagslebens krankhafte kulturelle -Bedingungen-(durchgestrichen) Zustände, die demoralisierend wirken.

Wenn Demoralisierung als eine existentielle Störung gilt (Kriegs-Rhetorik), die mit dem Zusammenbruch der "kognitiven Orientierung" einer Person verbunden ist, und mit dem Gefühl einer Art Desorientiertheit und dem "nicht in der Lage zu sein", Sinn, Zweck oder Quellen der Bedürfniserfüllung zu lokalisieren ist das bereits ein hausgemachter -"bereichernder" und "Migration" geschuldeter Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust, mit dem Zweifel, Unsicherheit und wie gesagt Orientierungslosigkeit auftreten müssen.

Aber will man das ?

Die treibenden Eigenschaften des – Individualismus, Materialismus, Wettbewerb, der Gier, dem Überkomplizieren, der Überarbeitung, der Eile und Verschuldung – das alles korreliert negativ mit der psychischen Gesundheit und/oder dem Wohlbefinden.

feel free to translate it, i'm feeling thirsty, hungry and tired... P-:
It was 100% painful and frustrating, but also 100% done for technically valid reasons. I've always preferred Firefox (or Opera Presto, before that) for the simple reason that Chromium's text selection is weird, clunky, and unlike anything else I've ever seen (this is also how you can spot any Electron app). But it really was just ... slow. Moving away from XUL was an important step in fixing that.

That said, I do feel that Firefox fell in the "X is more popular, X does Y, therefore, we need to do Y" trap, forgetting that you have your current userbase exactly because you're NOT doing Y but Z. But that's an entirely different matter.
Regular humans can put out ~100 watts on a dual foot crank (like a bicycle) for hours. Since a phone battery is ~12 Watt-hours, you can collect energy for a full phone charge in ~10 mins (but you'll need a special buffer battery, since few lithium cells can charge that fast).

Yet on a single hand crank, even 20 watts and you'll get tired pretty quick.

Part of that is that leg muscles are bigger. Part of it is that you're used to walking or standing for long periods of time. Part of it is that with a dual crank you aren't putting useless effort into holding the device up and holding the weight of your own arms up.

End result: Hand cranks are useless unless you only need tiny amounts of energy out of a human.

> Housing is obscenely expensive for young couples in most major metros

This will probably be an unpopular comment, but I think this is true for every generation, and is a simple byproduct of having young people earning comparatively low salaries compared to people who have been working for a decade or two already.

I'm in my 40s now, and while I'd have loved to buy a house in my 20s, I couldn't afford it until my 30s. At the time, I thought it was very unfair that all the housing I wanted was priced just out of reach of the maximum mortgage I could get, but a decade of pay rises later, and I could just afford to get on the property ladder but I had no spare money left over each month, and another decade later my mortgage costs were a relatively small fraction of my income and I have a comfortable lifestyle now.

I think the only difference with the current generation of youngsters is that they are far more vocal about it, whereas my generation just accepted it as part of life and quietly put up with it.

It's pretty much the same that every generation of teenagers believes their parents couldn't possibly understand how unfair life is, until a decade or so later, when they've grown up a bit more and realise that they've become the same as their parents after all.
You could use the same argument for rockets before SpaceX came and cut their price by a factor of 100.
100% this. Folks used to lament Firefox for being slow. And for me it would freeze for seconds sometimes, because of synchronous extensions APIs.

Removing XPCOM, switching to multiprocess, and switching to asynchronous Web Extensions was absolutely vital technologically. Perf is good now.
"One thing Mozilla does have going for it is a lot of money—more than $1 billion in cash reserves, according to its latest financial statement. The primary source of this capital is Google, which pays Mozilla to be the default search engine on the Firefox home page. Those payments, which started in 2005, have been increasing—up 50% over the past decade, to more than $450 million, even as the total number of Firefox users has plummeted. In 2021 these payments accounted for 83% of Mozilla’s revenue[0]."

They depend on Google.

Mozilla makes and manages many other software titles besides Firefox.
Rust, NSS, etc. Just think about all the current software built on Rust. That alone is a huge contribution to the tech industry and to society, more indirectly.
> Software that is merely source available, of course, is not FLOSS by default. But I don't actually see free software being replaced by software which is just source available.

GP here. I agree. I should’ve worded it better to say that a lot of “*source” terms are used to make it seem as if the publishers are meeting a great ideal (like FLOSS), but are muddling things more and more. I shouldn’t have listed “source available in the very same sentence” without being clear. I don’t have stats, but “open source” and similar terms have been used as buzzwords for marketing while the publishers really want their SaaS to be the one people ultimately pay for and use.

While I applaud the intent to bring the issue of homelessness to the forefront of the media, I feel like this project is more about gaining self attention for the project rather than solving the issue all together. The ~20GBP for the 18650 or 27500 batteries, the probably ~5GBP of the PCB needed, ~15GBP for the chain hardware and magnets, you are looking for a >40GBP to put this together, you can today get a <10GBP USB hand crank, and you don’t have to use the words “hack” and name “Santander” on your blog. I’f there was intent, then a volume buy, with a go-fund-me campaign, you can get them hand cranks for <2GBP in volume, and it would have had a real impact… I hate it when serious matters are used just to draw attention to one self, IMHO.
It's not about the API key. It's about the container registry credentials. Which you would expect to be able to only interact with the container registry. This is not the case. If you go to the container registry and click to download credentials you will get JSON like:

{"auths":{"registry.digitalocean.com":{"auth":"<base64-encoded-credentials>"}}}

If you decode the base64 encoded credentials it will be a string like "<token>:<token>" with either a read only or read/write token to all of the resources on DO.
I bought a used carbon frame racing bike 10 years ago for $400 and have had zero issues with theft. If it were stolen tomorrow I’d still have gotten very good value from it ($40 a year).

I live in NYC.

Take care to leave it in high-traffic places during the day (where a bike theft would be obvious), and in your home at night, and you should be fine.
Or worse, I've had someone try and not honor their own free cancelation policy stated on my booking confirmation email when I tried to cancel 2 weeks before I was supposed to show up. They went as far as to duck my calls and had to call them from a different number and be very persistent.

After that experience I decided that I will only go through platforms for smaller places, which is unfortunate. I'd much rather support them directly.
I did not know that. I use FF on my phone, on Desktop I use MDN more than I use Firefox!

How do we determine which specific ingredients to worry about? I can’t keep up with all of the various additives in highly processed products–it’s simpler to reduce the number of ultra processed products I buy.

In this case the enriched flour in the commercial bread presumably isn’t concerning, but I would prefer bread without added sugar and all of the various preservatives and emulsifiers.

> But if your partner doesn’t want it at all, then you need to really not push the issue

I completely get where you are coming from. I was the partner who didn't want children at all. I didn't want the responsibility, the loss of freedom and the financial burden.

We then had a child and any doubts I could have had dissipated: I now knew with absolute certainty that I did NOT want to raise children. No room for doubt whatsoever. I struggled with anger, depression and grief of my previous lifestyle.

A few years later I'm perfectly satisfied with not one but two kids. We would have a third if we were young enough.

All of this is to say: it is a life-changing experience and no amount of doubt or certainty before the fact can prepare anybody for the reality of it. Thus, people overthink it in my opinion.

Do or do not have kids, but let's not pretend that any of us knows what they are getting into until they are in the middle of it. Your priorities in life and your very own identity changes.

You think they’re happier to pay more than to pay less? I’m having a hard time believing that hypothetical.

Regardless, companies that don’t know how to evaluate the value of quoted work will eventually figure out the value later. A client that that is initially happy with a price will likely become retroactively disappointed when they deal with another contractor in the future who has more realistic pricing.

In my experience contracting, I’ve encountered a lot of “You paid how much for this!?” situations when dealing with work from prior contractors. Once they realize how bad and/or overpriced the work of a prior contractor was, that person’s reputation is done. Ironically, the contractor will often try to use them as references for other clients because they were initially happy.
We're still talking about different things: In S3, for an object known as s3://foo/bar, "bar" is the key. See eg https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object...

So the title is ambiguous, it could mean that keys have to be unique across buckets since they share the same namespace.
They could drop Gecko and switch to Blink/Chromium.

Then Firefox would be guaranteed to be strictly better than Chrome, since the baseline is the same and they can put in all the features that Google doesn't want because they would reduce their ad income, such as great ad-blocking support.

This might result in losing Google's search engine deal, but they can probably make a similar deal with an LLM-based search engine and even if the money might be less they don't need that much if they are only maintaining a fork and not the whole engine.
I honestly don't get it. So are certain police forces without supervision. Is this down to budgetary reasons? Is this considered normal?

Step 1 is to review your existing telemetry. You determine the possible scope of the attack based on the evidence you find. You remediate based on that. You may also want to consider scope that you don't have evidence for but that you lack telemetry for and that you believe an attacker could have accessed - that's fine too.

This comes down to a risk assessment. No company has a breach and just shuts everything down, that is insane. When we perform IR we build a detailed timeline, we collect the scope of potential access, and we form a remediation plan. We don't just go "well hey, anything can happen right? shut it all down".

Imagine if your bank told you they only close the vault when a customer asks.

And they give you an excuse that it’s time consuming for them and you should respect their time.

This is a pathetic response and you are dragging your former company through the mud by putting the incompetence that you participated in, front and center.

It’s amazing that this happened so long ago and yet you seemed to have learned nothing from it, and now want to double down on your right to leak sensitive data (because it was convenient at the time)
Are you sure that holds with SQLite? My benchmarks so far have shown it to add a pretty inconsequential overhead.

Hobbyists/government subsidized University students in CS/CE certainly forced a lot of Pareto optimal paths that won't be chosen in committee developments in open-source movement and projects. I'd not think that e.g. "hobbyist simply knows better", necessarily.
If Apple launched its own search engine and made it the default on its products, everybody would welcome that and absolutely no-one at all would denounce it as an abuse of their dominant position on their own products and call for tougher antitrust enforcement against Apple.

Also:

I dunno, being able to deploy their own baseband processors feels like a higher priority for Apple.
I perpetually keep my Hotspot on my phone on. For family members and my spare phone. It doesn't drain the battery in any noticeable way.

You're missing something in that there is a war with two participants going on.

It is not accurate to say that "calls for anti-war can only be made to Russia". Ukraine could of course end the war today by surrendering. I'm not saying that that is good or bad, just that it's fact.

It seems to be heterodox to point out that the war could probably end immediately in some capacity other than total surrender by one of the combatants, which would necessarily involve a new status quo that does not comport with the pre-annexation territory lines. Musk was attacked endlessly for proposing such a thing.

I personally think the tragedy befalling the societies on both sides of this conflict are roughly on the same order in terms of magnitude, and that whatever we can do to end the senseless deaths of thousands of people should be done, regardless of where lines on maps end up. Our automatic and reflexive human drive for fairness and equity seems to be incompatible with this idea of letting an invader keep their ill-gotten territorial gains, preferring instead to continue slaughtering population on both sides in service of an old map.

It is not more or less tragic when a teenage Russian conscript's mother gets the news of her son's slaughter than it is when a Ukranian mother gets similar news of her own son after he has been forced into slavery in service of a status quo that no longer exists. I see everyone clamoring how this is "not our war" but neither is it that of those who are being forced at gunpoint into this violence, no matter what flag is on their arm.

If you believe, as I do, that the Ukranian people are a somewhat cohesive group with a distinct culture and identity that is worth preserving, the optimal strategy for preserving that culture and group into the future seems to me to take whatever actions possible that will preserve the lives of as many Ukrainians as possible, regardless of what nationality they are assigned by whoever controls the territory on which they live. I fear that they have chosen to trade numbers for sovereignty, which historically never works out very well when matched against an opponent with vastly more resources.

I want people (Ukrainians AND Russians) to stop being killed. Now. Today. All other considerations are secondary.

Perhaps separating the mind from most of the physical senses is partially what gives people a new sense of being and clarity.

We expend a lot of making sense of sensory inputs, but what if most of that processing power is freed up? Perhaps this is related to how some mediation practitioners claim to have clearer focus of thought.
"But the issue is that you can tell it makes no sense, there is no thought process behind it. It fits in no greater picture."

Completely agree with you. That's my job. The LLM is effectively my typing assistant.
The really big dogs always work with long term, strategic plans. When something looks too generous, it most likely is just that. Is it profitable? Probably not. But that is the point. Offer a service under market value, wait until the competition goes away, then make bank. There are many, many examples, but something like Google Workspace comes to mind. Make it easy and cheap to get on board, get people and businesses used to your product, then slowly boil the frog alive.

I've never been to Brazil myself, but someone said that an iPhone is $3000 USD in Brazil, so I wouldn't blindly assume that $120k is super amazing to developers there.

Also, I quickly googled and found something that resembles an family house and it is very expensive at $280k[0]. I could very well be googling incorrectly so HN Brazilians can hopefully add some context.
