I've been struggling with health/weight myself and stressful work + personal life. So I feel for you, what you are going through takes its toll on a person. It's also great that you want to change this, because you can.

The most important thing I realized is that there are two factors at play: mental health, and physical health, and they go hand in hand. If I have a stressful week, I am more likely to not exercise. If I feel bad physically, e.g long nights staring at the screen, no movement, I am more likely to get stressed at problems at work. It's a vicious spiral.

The good thing about that realization is that feeling better physically also helps make taking things at work easier, and on the other hand, being able to distance myself mentally from work gives me the peace of mind to go and do some exercise. So any way you approach this, the result is the same: healthier body and mind.

With that said, what I do practically is the following:

I log off at the appropriate times, make sure to not have too many tasks at the same time (best is only 1 at a time), and keep reminding myself that work is never going to finish, and I can always continue tomorrow. I also try mindful breathing whenever I feel like it, and some guided meditation. Also, I stopped joining work meetings where I think the information is not beneficial for me or the topic is not interesting. And I listen to chill music with OK-ish noise cancelling headphones.

On the physical stuff, I stretch, make some light bodyweight exercises, and hit a boxing bag once or twice a week. And I sometimes go bouldering (despite sucking at it). I also try to have at least an hour of a walk daily, whether it's going to the store for groceries, or just walking around and looking at trees or that kind of stuff.

These strategies don't always work for me, I don't think there is a silver bullet in these kinds of matters. There are days where my shoulders are stiff from the work pressure, my mind is spent, and I just want to eat junk food and watch Netflix, and that's okay. Following a plan too strictly, at least for me, is a sure way to not do anything or get stressed if I miss a day of exercise. Let yourself not be perfect, cause nobody is.
> But the fact that with a few assumptions on the rules you can then limit to both GR and QM is very non-trivial and, in my opinion, pretty surprising.

Perhaps you're not familiar with the literature here, but GP isn't exaggerating, using e.g. Noether's Theorem you can derive the expected laws of physics from very simple symmetry principles. This means that any model with these symmetries will produce these behaviours.

If you make up a new model of Newtonian mechanics that doesn't depend explicitly on time, so that your laws are the same tomorrow as today, then it's proven that such a model will conserve "energy". You could point at this as an indication of the correctness of your theory, but it's really unavoidable. You can play a similar trick for the fundamental forces if you have the patience to work through the derivation.

A better test is these models is if they're predictive, and I haven't seen a such a result about this CA-physics outside of Wolfram's blog.
Author wants them to be able of an informed argument about things. And if it's cultural things these all came from history. Even in STEM fields history is equally as important as first principles.

The caveat here is excessive length of copyright protection, which is provided with tax dollars for the judicial system, as well as externalities like abusive copyright takedown notices.

Make the copyright term 10, 15, or even 20 years at most and the “justification” to “steal” gets a lot weaker.
The article is about the damage to an internet/mobile operator infrastructure.

If there's any comparable damage to internet/mobile infrastructure of Israel, feel free to share, otherwise I don't see your point.

I haven't seen any comparable damage on the Israel side to be sympathetic about.

Not sure if you realize how destructive, and dangerous to regular people complete prolonged blackout of all communication is. People give briths, have hart attacks, strokes, get injured, need to organize aid delivery so not to starve, disabled people need contact with people that can help them, thousands of people daily call for medical help for general health issues, psychological issues,...

Disabling the entire communication infrastructure is absolutely disastrous. Many people died because of this.
I wish leaders would settle their differences in a game of CS2, instead of using the old meat grinder.
> No one has the right to steal.

To copy.

This is copyright, not theft, which is why this is civil law rather than criminal law.

Also law... just because something is law does not make it correct. Things which in hindsight should never have been legal in the most obvious way (slavery, apartheid, etc) were legal in their time. Copyright doesn't feel even as obvious as those things.
A small independent group might have low overhead but from what I see in the ML research space those types of groups are very limited in what they can do. These small groups also tend to work as subcontractors for large groups anyway, so the overhead advantage becomes somewhat moot. Just submitting research proposals to funding organizations regularly in order to get consistent funding requires a large group, especially these days with lower funding per project. Basically, five researchers and an admin won't survive very long without latching onto bigger groups. Also it's pretty well known that universities are cheaper than contractors by a wide margin.
At 357 bytes, do you need a reproducible binary at all?

I'd think one could hand-document all 357 bytes of machine code and have them be intelligible.
Yeah and now that person who you paid to register it in your name rats you out to the police. Also, there are a lot of laws you can end up breaking with severe penalties in the course of trying to hide your identity for company registration purposes (it enters the world of anti-money laundering).

It's harder than it sounds, which is why malware authors prefer to steal keys than set up fake companies. Hence the new hardware requirements.
Meeting with very specific expectations, I might add.

My gay friends using grinder don't expect it to be full-filling, they expect it to be pleasurable.

Pleasure is nice, but it doesn't sustain happiness.

And intense pleasures that are easy to have regularly mess up with your dopamine system.

It's fine if you only have one part of your life like this. The rest balance it out. And we all need fun.

E.G: one of my friends is deeply involved in teaching kids, another one is a very dedicated doctor, and so forth.

In that case it's healthy.

1 rings super true to me - the most counter-intuitive thing to me in distance running was to take more steps to go faster. 180-190rpm is usually where I’m at for 2:55ish marathon times, whereas when I started, I thought I needed to be at like, 160, but with a longer stride distance.

It’s more interesting because I sprint “properly”, but my brain just flipped when I started going further.
Swiss and Swedes seem quite different culturally, while Danes and Dutch... they're both tiny countries with canals, bicycles and tall people? Former Hansiatic League? The only difference I know is that the Dutch have Amsterdam/drugs/prostitutes.. but that's not exactly a positive distinction

The half cent in the United State was done away with in 1857. Though calculating inflation from that year to now is somewhat shaky, it's roughly equal to $0.175 now and the penny, which then became the smallest unit of currency, was worth about $0.35. Getting rid of everything smaller than a quarter would still give us more fidelity than we had in 1857 when the one cent penny became our smallest coin.

Yep, that's what I meant, thank you.

It breaks my heart seeing e.g. Python and JS still being the same terrible monstrosities that they always were, and what's even worse is all the post-hoc rationalization that people do to justify their favorite language. Instead of, you know, just say "yeah it's bad that we don't have that, choose another language if it bothers you" but no, it has to be BS like "almost everyone uses Python, have you considered that you might be wrong?". The good old appeal to popularity and tradition, and one of the well-documented logical fallacies that's being done every day and every hour. But hey, who's counting, right.

I wish that our work area -- the programming -- had more balls. More courage. "Alright guys, sum types are unequivocally better than having NULL, let's start changing our language" probably followed by an announcement "Sorry we couldn't fit sum types in Python, we're forking the language with a small list of incompatibilities and a tool to rewrite your old Python to the new one, please migrate". Or something along the lines.

But no, of course not. Let's pretend everything is okay. :/
In Czechoslovakia, Ladas and Skodas were basically the best a normal citizen could buy, so it wasn't really a subject of jokes. Even getting such a car was not easy, my grandfather said he had to register on a list to get Skoda 1000 MB, and then had to wait 7 years to be able to buy it (that was in 60s/70s).

Trabant was joked about, though.
How is it possible? Well more men use dating apps than women. That's how demographics work. It also isn't that steep in reality, but more than half of dating app users are heterosexual men on most platforms (a site exclusively for lesbians obviously would not have those kind of numbers).
Thank you I will look into this. I changed ISPs in March and some of these things happened before that and one happened afterwards. Would my IP address have changed when I changed the ISP?
Yes, absolutely.

I'm starting a business, and this is my real product.

Most everybody will see my FOSS code as my product, but that's my loss leader.

My real product, the stuff people will actually pay for, is doing stuff such as responding to bug reports like [1].

In other words, my product is caring about your needs and meeting them.

On the flip side, I want customers who care too. I think one reason those furniture people did so well is because they had a customer who cared, and it was refreshing.

When you do something day in and day out, you either become careless, or obsessed.

As a customer, you want to seek out the latter, but as a vendor, when you are the latter, getting a customer who cares is not just refreshing, it's enormously fun!

Interesting comparisons. Students were definitely using Unix in 1975. My first Unix was actually sixth edition running on a PDP-11/45 at the University of Maryland. I started using it in 1979, but the system had been in use for some years. The system was part of the Computer Vision Lab and was mostly used by grad students for their research. The systems available to the general student population were Univac mainframes (1108 and 1106).

About this time, my friend was working on his Ph.D. in Biology at Wayne State University and they had the MTS. It was pretty ubiquitous from what he’s told me.

I had a free account on MIT-AI at some point in the late 70s. I accessed it over the ARPANET!
Pinball doesn't have any internal systems that force you to lose like a claw machine or other arcade games would.
A general rule, when you find a "beautiful work", it usually is trying to sell you a story that seriously lacks in historical detail. There are exceptions, but they are rare.

Regarding bison, it's likely that the final blow was not from overhunting, but from habitat encroachment that constrained their migratory patterns. This in turn started an epidemic of tick-borne disease, that resulted in a total collapse of their population within just 2 years (1881-1883).

I'm sorry to hear that your friend is struggling to find a long term partner. When I think about dating apps, they are mostly about cold introductions. If possible, you should try to do some warm introductions from her. It seems easier to break someone's heart with shitty behaviour from a cold introduction, than a warm introduction. Cold intros are relatively anonymous so you can hide after your bad behaviour. With a warm intro, if someone does something awful, their friends will probably learn about it.
Unfortunately arrogance leads to denial. Thats why you are getting downvoted.
Here's an interesting discussion on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/2rgl7i/how_did_i...

Further down is the suggestion that "give" in the phrase, means "care". Which it does, in part, but as the way language goes, so many words and phrases have double meanings that merge to make one subtle meaning.

"I couldn't give a toss," is a common variant. As is, "I couldn't give a flying fuck." But neither has the positive version in the same way — you don't normally give a toss about something specific, and a flying fuck is never positive. But, interestingly, you can give a toss in general.

English, as you have realised, has layers of weirdness and subtle traps.
There was so many technical problems with just the name of the country changing from Yugoslavia, over Serbia and Montenegro, to being just Serbia. It took ages for big companies to follow up on this, and to this day some Google services still have a bug where some old accounts have Serbia and Montenegro listed as a country, they were never transitioned to Serbia - and as you can imagine that can seriously mess up payments and access to apps for account owners. Another TLD floating around to confuse people would be just PITA.

Sure but they would go to jail. The programmers that destroyed companies by creating better open source alternatives not only didn't go to jail but managed to build multi-million dollar businesses. Which then becomes too big at some point and ready to be disrupted again.

Most Scientifc Books on Fatherhood and Pregnancy?
We're (well, my wife is) in the early stages of a pregnancy and i'd like to read up about the topic from a scientific, relatively unbiased point of view to learn what we can expect but also how to best support her and the future child. However, no matter what I search on Google all I seem to get are lists of the 'Best XX pregnancy books of 2023'.

My feeling is that the science of pregnancy and parenthood probably doesn't change every year, so I'd like to get some recommendations from the HN crowd on books they've read which they have found useful.
Yeah, that’s the line for me. Firms talk about controls but if there is even one person in the world who can look up all the media I’ve consumed them that’s one too many.

Gives me the creeps.
> Can you think of one movie or TV show which models a realistically happy working adult marriage which isn't either sentimental and idealised, or doesn't end in drama, tragedy, and betrayal?

The first thing that comes to mind is the relationship between Holden and Naomi in The Expanse. (Okay, so it's not a marriage. Does that really matter?)

I'm sure there are others, but they are difficult to recall precisely because they just are, without calling too much attention to themselves. So there's a selection bias in what we remember.
Existential threat is pretty hypothetical at the moment. There was no reason so far to have doubts on deterring capacity of NATO Article 21.

During peacetime my answer would be by increasing military spending and attracting more people to military careers and voluntary reserve. During wartime everything goes of course - it's still should be non-discriminatory though.
Well, firstly, buying certs is optional. You can distribute via the Microsoft Store and they'll sign for you. That's a $19 one time fee, no subscription. It's by far the cheapest way to distribute signed software on Windows. Conveyor can prepare everything and do the upload for you.

So this stuff only applies if you don't want to go via the store.

Now you picked DigiCert and their cloud HSM solution. They're unfortunately quite expensive. SSL.com is a lot cheaper:

https://www.ssl.com/certificates/code-signing/buy/

So about $100 / yr, with a one off fee to buy a USB key.

And then ImageMagick is open source so they could use the tool for free.

Even commercially, $100/yr plus $45/month isn't particularly expensive compared to the labor cost of developing software commercially. The cost of the tool is like one hour of skilled labor at contracting rates per month. It'll save far more time than that given that as you said, doing deployment by hand is a nightmare.

And as you note, if your app is open source then you can use it for free. So then we're down to using the MS Store + Conveyor for free: $19, one off. Anyone can afford that.

If the address offsets can be randomized with a provided seed, then demonstrating reproducibility is still possible.

Alternatively, randomizing the offsets when starting the program is another way to keep reproducibility and even increase security; the offsets would change at every run.
It drives me nuts as well.

I can sympathize with the writer: they're often paid by the word, and finding/producing good illustrative images and securing the rights to them can easily double or triple their work, with no additional pay.

On the other hand, I have zero sympathy for the editor: it's their job to realize the article needs pictures, and pay the writer extra, or pay someone else, to source them!

That seems, at least to me, a pretty egalitarian and optimistic view. I mean, the teenager is basically as good as the Olympian in your example, qualitatively. If the peak of skill is only 10% higher than a talented amateur with some training, we should probably have a more equal income distribution.
