It's not so much that the companies care about the individual 'wrongthinkers', they're worried about what the activists could do to the reputation of their company/brand.

The activist behaviour is close to blackmail - 'punish this person for us now, or we'll hurt your company'.

Ask HN: Seeking Advice on Visa Sponsorship Job Search and Relocation Options
I'm a full stack developer with over 13 years of experience, and I'm currently employed. However, life has taken some unexpected turns, and I'm now considering relocating to a different country. After a recent divorce, my girlfriend, who has one year of experience as a Manual QA, and I are looking to move to a country where education is available for free, especially for her child.

We're open to relocating anywhere and are actively seeking job opportunities with visa sponsorship. We'd love to hear your recommendations on websites, resources, or strategies to find such job listings and useful information.

If you've been through a similar journey or have insights to share, we're all ears. Your experiences and advice would be immensely helpful.

Thanks in advance for your support and guidance!
> attractive compensation

compared to what? if your looking for an ex-FAANG youll have to match them compensations
I’m sorry, suicide has been shown to be much more acute activity than you are implying. Statistically if you stop someone, or thwart an attempt they do not try again the majority of the time.

Any action we do to reduce suicides really does save lives.

Perhaps at the absolute peak of rush hour, but the roads are just as bad at that time as well.
Thanks. Those numbers are quite pursuasive.
Bit tangential but it's kind of similar with "get therapy". Now, in 2023, that expression is almost morphed into an insult (implying the person is messed up and therapy would "fix" that), with zero consideration for them beyond telling "talk to a therapist about your problems", and implicitly, "just don't bother me with it".

It never comes from a place of care but as basically a way to dismiss anyone's problems by sending them to "therapy". No real problems are solved that way and this is just one of the ugly faces of the uncaring hyperindividualistic worldview.
Hm, thank you for the explanation but I'm still not 100% sure how it would apply.

> thus links inside the node_modules folder to places on your host laptop are irrelevant

I'm not talking about the host computer at any point of this, this is about the workspace setup, all of which happens inside the image, since packages within the workspace depend on each other the whole workspace needs to be built together in the image.

I am willing to admit that I am missing something but I'm just not sure what exactly.

Given a workspace layout like this:

├── Dockerfile
├── .dockerignore
├── .gitignore
├── packages/
│ ├── app1/
│ │ ├── dist/
│ │ ├── package.json
│ │ ├── src/
│ │ └── tsconfig.json
│ ├── app2/
│ │ ├── dist/
│ │ ├── package.json
│ │ ├── src/
│ │ └── tsconfig.json
│ └── common/
│ ├── dist/
│ ├── package.json
│ ├── src/
│ └── tsconfig.json

Whenever pnpm installs workspace dependencies, it installs them at the root of the workspace, (in the store inside the docker build image of course, not on the host), and those are the dependencies for all 3 packages all together in one virtual store, here:

./node_modules/.pnpm

So, when I want to create my container image for say packages/app1, I don't see how I could copy only my dependencies for that app from the build image like this:

COPY --from=deps /app/packages/app2/node_modules/ /app/packages/app2/node_modules

Because while of course the dependencies are installed in the build image, they are at the root of the workspace in virtual store there, and not in /app/packages/app2/node_modules/ – this directory only contains symlinks to the root virtual store.

Of course I can copy all the dependencies from the root virtual store of the build image into my image, but then those are the dependencies for ALL packages in the workspace, not just for app1

I suppose I could try to install only the dependencies for app1, but this is broken with the default pnpm settings at the moment (it still installs dependencies for everything in the workspace)

https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/6300

In the end, I think the cleanest way would indeed be to just bundle the dependencies into each app during build.
My Dream Computer Is Finally on Sale [video]
> Do people really think that if they restrict access to methods of suicide people will magically get better? If that's all that a society is doing then they're simply delaying the inevitable or condemning the person to continue suffering.

I will say there is a difference between very impulsive attempts at ending ones own life during a dark episode and more pre-planned attempts.

In the impulsive case, even minor obstructions can cause the immediate impulse to fade, avoiding a very final decision. Hence why many impulsive survivors don't attempt twice. For these cases, keeping knowledge contained is a good thing in my book. This kind is also why guns are terrifying. Guns are one millisecond of impulse for an eternity of consequence.

On the other hand, if someone is an incurable pain patient for 20 years and eventually decides to not be a pain patient anymore... there is very little you can do about it.
That hardware selection was locked-in years ago, I think that's the major hold up with ginny in particular. I don't think even the next helicopter they're building now will be able to get hardware AV1 encoding. Would be moderately funny if they could eek better performance out of ffmpeg with remote updates.

Yes. My point wasn't about merely preventing suicide, but about stopping people feeling suicidal, even if they don't consider or go through the actual act.

So not so much about saving lives in the technical sense, but about saving people by making them have lives worth living, and see life as such. Preventing things like bullying, abusive parents/spouses, job precarity and homelessness, and so on.

"The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night."

Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil

"Not to be born at all

Is best, far best that can befall,

Next best, when born, with least delay

To trace the backward way.

For when youth passes with its giddy train,

Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils,

Pain, pain forever pain;

And none escapes life's coils.

Envy, sedition, strife,

Carnage and war, make up the tale of life."

Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus

Nonetheless, I sense a certain bias in the living for their existence.
Probably an evolutionary advantage over the dead.
I would like to see more research into the cause of mental health issues.

Some are clearly linked to types of pollution (eg. lead contamination), while others are linked to various diseases. Injury is another cause (contact sports, military use of explosives).

If we could do more research into finding out all the causes, and changing society to eliminate them, then we could probably cut down substantially on the number of people needing mental health support in the first place.
Actually, most of comments in this thread are not attacking the maker, nor the clock, and are discussing things neutrally. There are just three posts criticizing particular details -- battery life, font and 3D-printed enclosure. Maybe this looks very different to new iPhone announcements, but I don't read those at all.

Very unlikely this will cause anybody to be fired. Will not probably even lead to company fines, nor the disappearance of the illegal dark patterns. E.g. a lot of sites used the IAB nag that was found illegal by the regulators. But IIUC only IAB had to pay a small fine and I'm quite sure nobody got fired for it because it was the "industry standard".

NOYB is fighting the good fight, and without it GDPR would be even more useless. But it's a losing battle, and NYOB itself is sort of admitting that. https://noyb.eu/en/statement-4-years-gdpr

GDPR is in theory a good law (although things like mandatory honoring of do-not-track headers should have been obviously included). But it's not being enforced almost at all probably due to regulatory agencies and EU being corrupt AF.

Having a lot of money, lobbyists and lawyers makes you immune to the law.
I think weed suppresses dreaming (or at least, the memory of having dreamed). When I quit, I definitely get vivid dreams for a week or so.
That doesn't mean they want to be alive though. Surviving a suicide attempt is a pretty awful and traumatic experience. It's entirely logical to not try again, out of fear that you will survive.

Of course, that's absolutely not universal. There are plenty of survivors who go on to live happy lives. But it's disingenuous to say that not trying again is evidence that they want to be alive.
I was gonna say "run it in the stars", but yours is funnier for some reason :-)
Another constrained resource is communications: the Deep Space Network dishes are shared between all of the current NASA missions and already has rationing. So before upping the pace of new deep missions factor in the time for getting Congress to back expanding the DSN (not ludicrously expensive, but also not so sexy as launches, boots-on-the-moon, etc)

StackExchange: Movie vs. TV "Look"
Yes, depression isn't constant for everyone. That doesn't mean a person isn't responsible for their own decisions, and it doesn't mean the state should step in to force them out of their decisions. Especially without offering some form of relief for something other than symptoms. A person can "live, laugh, love," as much as you'd like them to. They can have all the aspirations and plans in the world and still ultimately not want to be alive. Just because one is afraid to die does not mean they'd want to be alive if they could flip a switch for it.

When I go, it will not be because of a momentary lapse in judgment as you imply. It will be something I've contemplated at good length for years on. Outside of pseudonymity, I will tell my acquaintances and friends that I am doing well. I will be doing well. It doesn't change how I ultimately feel about the subject. A "normal" does not invalidate what will happen in moments where someone finally works up the nerve to go through with something, because it isn't insanity that causes suicidal ideation. It's something calculated.

Sharing information on how to do it with the least amount of misery helps, it doesn't hurt.
A few notes:

- For soldering stations I think used Hakko's are very worth considering. The recommended KSGER unit is known to have design issues on older iterations such as ground issues. It can be a bit of a mixed bag whereas the high end Hakkos are a very safe bet so if you can find one at a good price I would recommend that over a KSGER-like.

- Fume extractors might be a waste of money from what I hear. I know people who do a ton of soldering that don't use them at all and I took part in a soldering course about a year ago where they said that there are a lot of regulations on what can go into the solder and the flux core so they are pretty harmless under normal circumstances. I use a kitchen fan when cooking on the stove to avoid breathing all the VOCs that get suspended in the air but when I solder I just avoid inhaling when the evaporated flux plume comes.
Indeed they tend to be however the underlying electron base tends, imo experience, to be outdated and comparatively hard to configure
Because it's hard and society makes it as hard as possible to do it in a dignified way without lots of suffering. It's not as easy as you think, even when you are suffering.

Being an empty walking corpse but technically living isn't any better than going through with it.
People who have lost someone to suicide often seek someone to blame, yet they seldom consider that the person may have had their reasons, most possibly unrelated to that forum. The forum serves as a vital outlet for individuals enduring difficult times, potentially saving more lives than it has taken. Nonetheless, some non-suicidal individuals aim to erase it merely due to personal dislike. It's bewildering.

Wellbutrin also excarcbates OCD symptoms with typical responses including paranoia, hallucinations, eventually inducing psychosis. The article you post the author admits they don't really understand how SSRIs work. Why should putting such things in your body be any different than psychedelics or heroin or eating chocolate when you are sad? Simply put, it's not. This kind of science is based on collecting the minimum number of people to establish a p value and effect size larger than 0. You do that enough times then you can give your pills to whoever you want. Psychiatry provides a physiological change, i.e. they give you pills, based on a diagnostic criteria that removes all physiological reasons for the presented symptoms. This all seems rather backwards to me. Especially when modern psychology has developed therapies like cognitive behaviour therapy, schema therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, which all basically can be summed up to state "your thoughts and feelings don't matter and probably get in your way. What matters is how you organise your mind and actions." So modern psychology has arrived at stoicism as the answer to a variety of problems such as depression, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, and personality disorders. This isn't to say that pills don't help. It's just that they are not a panacea nor are they well understood by the psychiatrists who are motivated to give you pills since their training as a medical doctor teaches them peoples problems have physiological solutions.
You can take a look at the New Horizons to get an idea of what a moderately capable trans-Neptunian probe costs today (~$700M). If you made several, economies of scale would of course lower marginal costs somewhat. But the money isn’t even the main bottleneck (although it absolutely is a huge one) – power is. Specifically, the RTG radioisotope generators that are our only reasonable way of powering things at distances beyond Jupiter. Synthesis of radionuclides (eg. Pu-238) suitable for RTG use was originally a nice side effect of nuclear weapons production, but these days availability is very low even though the DOE recently restarted production after a long pause.

In the 21st century NASA has launched exactly three RTG-powered missions: New Horizons (2006), Mars Science Laboratory/Curiosity (2012), and Mars 2020/Perseverance. The next will be the (very awesome) Dragonfly mission to Titan, planned to launch in 2027. So given a cadence of roughly seven years, and one out of four missions targeting trans-Neptunian space, you could expect to launch an interstellar probe every 30 years or so, barring significant advances in power technology. The next one will most likely be a sorely-needed Uranus or Neptune flyby mission that would possibly launch in the mid to late 2030s.

There are maybe a dozen reasonable mission proposals submitted for every mission that actually ends up at the launch pad. The competition is fierce, and any proposal has to argue its return on investment incredibly convincingly to get selected for implementation. We now know many interesting Kuiper Belt objects that would definitely deserve a closer look – but we also know many other things that are much more accessible and would also deserve a closer look!

No amount of extra money would realistically allow NASA (or any space agency) to fly missions simply "because we might discover something" because there are always many, many other mission proposals in the pipeline with vastly better justification than merely "because we might discover something".
Does this include any core engineers? If so, where are those people going now?

> Everything, like making food for your kids? Breathing air?

Absolutely.

Unregulated food means that corporations can sell toxic food that will make my kids ill, if it is profitable.

Unregulated air quality means that corporations can indiscriminately pollute air, externalizing costs and making air unbreathable.

Personally, I'd tend to give most credit for something like this to the era that created it. I mean building something that can be reasonably expected to operate and maintained in some of the most hostile conditions known to man, for half a century? It's just borderline magical. And NASA of that era did everything just perfectly, nailing all the gravity assists (obviously using computational/telemetry tech of the time), and more.

And that applies to everything from that era. We hadn't even put a man in orbit in 1962. 7 years later, we would be walking on the Moon!!! The degree of competence and capability of that era of NASA is something that I think is probably unmatched in the entire history of our species.
A shame, but also unsurprising. I never understood how they could have such a high burn rate for a technology that hadn't really taken off in the markets that they were targeting.

RISC-V is/was vitally important in putting downward pressure on ARM licensing. But large companies were never going to move off ARM for their workhorse CPUs. They'd use the threat of moving to RISC-V as a way of getting sweetheart IP deals from ARM, but no one actually wanted to start over on a new software transition while the move to ARM was still unfinished.

This completely overlooks the psychological aspect, which is that the 1% is perfectly happy to fly to Davos every year in their hundreds of private jets, where they all sit together in a large room and tell us to stop flying, damnit, because it is killing the planet!

Sure, their one flight doesn't change anything. _Neither does mine_, when I fly a few times per year to get to another part of the world. Yet somehow my flight is considered "part of a large group and therefore dangerous", and theirs is not?

If the 1% wants to have moral authority, they should lead from the front: they should stop flying altogether, and limit themselves to low-carbon activities they can reach by train. Either we are all in this together, or it is nothing more than yet another pathetic power grab by people that already have too much of it anyway.
