"Putting society and economy first" is meaningless in itself until it's clear how it's supposed to be done. Liberal democracies, for example, are supposed to put society first via personal rights and autonomy, which is the opposite of the tone of the GP's message.
Transformers do not transform but convert in Hasbro’s marketing and licensed materials, and strictly speaking they’re not even supposed to be Transformers but Transformers robots (which grammatically is wrong, but alas). Except, for whatever valid reason, inside the fiction, where Transformers becomes a perfectly valid noun they refer themselves with and they do transform, not convert, all day long. I don’t get it.
Do you have any book recommendations for those topics?

> It seems like up-front monetary 'cost' is continually used to bash nuclear.

How unfair of us, to use the egregious flaw of nuclear to criticize it.

Pointing at fossil fuels would have made sense in the past, but that's a useless argument against renewables.
you are not wrong. But not right either. Google voice and a phone are clients to a network you must use.

You can complain all you want about the network, but "requiring some nonsense to use the client in a way that is not related to the network" is not excusable for the client software, no matter how bad the network is.
I’m totally with you. I still use almost exclusively Netflix but have to spend a lot more time finding content as it even seems they go out of their way to hide the fact it’s a dub in the trailers. I do a lot of backing out once I realize it’s dubbed.
If you’re a software engineer, which is a very common type of digital nomad, you should qualify instantly with that requirement.
I stopped using Voice for international communication years ago- WhatsApp is so much better in features and international adoption.
Probably less then they pay out for some TX based miners to shut down when grandma starts freezing.
Oh I think it's ultimately modernity that's the cause; the "Death of God" as Nietzsche put it. As religion recedes around the world, humans have found no real replacement for the meaning it provided and perhaps no reason to continue things. I think that's ultimately why I never had any desire to have children myself; I see no reason to put them through the same suffering I went through to no real purpose and then presumably go on to face their own philosophical (and other) struggles.

That's me; I don't really know what reason everyone else has (though increasingly I find I'm not really such an outlier), but the more practical stuff like health insurance, cost of education, housing, childcare, etc... sure looks like death by a thousand cuts. Perhaps as you say they are excuses. I've been told that I must be bitter when I point out all the money I saved since I never wanted children, but really the main thing I've felt is relief - I have plenty of anxiety over the state of things, and knowing that I don't have to try and provide for dependents for a few decades is one of the things that keeps me from over-worrying. I've literally known people to kill themselves over such pressures, and I don't think I'd handle them that well either.

I don't want to tell you not to worry (when has that ever helped anyone?); you have the right to your feelings, but I think your timeline is quite a bit more aggressive than most current population projections.
I’m particularly impressed by speech recognition on Apple Watch. On device, via tiny microphones, in noisy environments, and still works despite my non-native accent.
Doing short courses (executive training) might be better. Assuming you have the Technical Domain side covered, my suggestion would be to focus on the following;

3) Evidence-based Management - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidence-based_management
When writing a small application in Go I had great success asking Chat GPT specific questions. It helped me figure out which packages I needed to use and how to interact with them.

I understand that this might not fit your use-case, but it's worth a try. Just be aware that it tends to hallucinate APIs.
Windows Terminal has support for copy and paste that is integrated into the OS natively. CTRL+C/V works perfectly.
Link-building, an integral part of search engine optimization (SEO) and digital marketing, enhances a website’s visibility and ranking in search engine results. A common and effective strategy for quality backlinks is through link-building outreach templates, mainly via cold email outreach.

This article focuses on these templates, providing practical tools for creating impactful emails that foster connections, collaborations, and the ethical acquisition of valuable backlinks, making your link-building campaign more efficient and successful.
You're thinking of patents which are similar but concern technical inventions whereas copyright is for creative works. And then you have trademarks which are for business branding. They are all government enforced monopolies on ideas but different kinds of ideas, each with limitations and with the intent to facilitate economic activity. Reforming copyright shouldn't have an effect on patent law.
Oh wow, I did not expect to see NetBeans here. What do you use it for and why NetBeans?
This is what I imagine. People try to kill it, but there’s thousands of googlers using it and it’s harder to make it internal only than just to keep it running.

So every time someone tries to kill the project some fancy pants google person kills the idea because it personally inconveniences them.
I mean this has always been the case: the press releases gush about how fast the next wireless whatever standard can be...and ignore that new devices are going online all the time so all that bandwidth is contended - meaning you have to take gigantic overall improvements to have a hope of keeping up modest real-world gains.
We aren't talking about moral rights, we are talking about incentives to produce the work in the first place.
I’m sure you can find individual coaches but the cost will exceed what most people are willing to spend or invest. Take executive coaches for example, they exist but from what I understand they’re largely private coaching and cost $$$.

As far as hobbies go, it's very far from the worst. Some people play games for 12 hours a day on kilowatt gamer PCs, or race their car around a track, or cruise around on a gas guzzling boat, etc.
Experts plus common sense and direct evidence I think works. Experts sometimes come out with complete nonsense, especially if there's politics involved.
I don't think this has been shared here before, and I found it one of the most useful resources to get an overview of pretty much every instruction with explanatory pictures and explanations. Now I mostly use the standard as a reference, but I really appreciated this talk as an introduction.
> That may not matter to Velcro (TM)

Surely you know from reading the article that it's actually "Velcro® Brand". It's easier to follow than most telenovelas. We get it, hook and loop isn’t in our everyday vocabulary, but calling it Velcro (TM) just wouldn’t be true.
Making all those awful Marvel and Star Wars movies and taking our money anyway was pretty mean too.
It is also very interesting to watch an accomplished computer scientist write code and solve problems.

I've never used Google Voice, but I do use Google Fi, and they offer unlimited calls and sms in what looks like every country on the planet. What's the advantage of Voice for the traveling caller?
4k is... too low res for desktop use on a mac. 25x14 upscaled to 5k only to be downscaled again to device native resolution by a $15 tool still gives me more usable screen real estate than a native 4k and the $15 makes it so text is actually legible...

No, it's because thorium doesn't solve any of the actual problems that are holding back nuclear.
I guess I’m not sure how it’s deceptive? Yes, content isn’t segregated at the top level into foreign and domestic, but the original language is clearly shown and there are many country or language-specific categories too.

Maybe in Blockbuster in the US in the 1990s putting all “foreign” stuff over in its own corner made sense. But most countries didn’t do that. And content consumption has become a lot more globalized in the past decade.

For many people, easily accessing (and being recommended) interesting foreign content is one of Netflix’s selling points, I’d say.
Netflix started as English only and already has regional content. It would make since for foreign to be considered “not the dominant language in this region/nstion”
I never used Gentoo, but the time I spend screwing around in Arch was more educational than the video games I would have been playing, anyway.

Docker runs an ARM kernel and uses qemu in user mode on the individual binary level. Anything CPU-bound is emulated, but as soon as you do a system call, you’re back in native land, so I/O bound stuff should run decently.
I've been using Google Voice while living outside the USA for 4+ years. I've never been able to make calls to the USA when using a foreign SIM. On my phone, I've only been using it for SMS, and I make the occasional call from the website.
google didn't split from hangouts. It got merged into hangouts (and both apps existed) because some PM bonus was tied to hangout active users or something. Same reason you automatically logged into a gmail-plugin-hangouts client when you opened gmail by default.

They just undid that shenanigans after the PM got his bonus. Maybe by then their bonus was tied to simplifying the tech stack :)

edit:

> If privacy/secrecy via obfuscation is your #1 criteria

lol, no. the only usecase for gvoice and the likes is to have a fixed phone number without a montly bill that you can use to make international phone calls for business. or to receive calls when abroad.

Nobody who cares about privacy etc (or any quality of network protocol for that matter) would care about gsm and sms. at all. it's mostly for cheap convenience.
It depends on where you live I guess, in my country (Italy) that's quite a high salary. Anyway "We hope the workcation visa will allow high-earning foreigners to stay in Korea's various regions and vitalize the local economy," doesn't sound as utopic as the title suggests.
The more advanced a book or course is, the less popular it can be. What are you looking for in a resource that you don’t get from the docs? Knowing that might help narrow down the recommendations.

If you’re looking to understand what makes Elixir different from the most popular languages and how OTP works, I’d suggest Elixir in Action: https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action-third-edition

I know it's off topic, but I find it interesting how this sentence was so hard for me to understand.
I struggled for many seconds but couldn't go beyond "was ever" because it felt like there was some mistake, like a word was missing here or there.

In the first pass, my mind decided that "state" was a verb, and, therefore, there should be a subject appearing before it.
But I only found "any", instead of "anybody" or "anyone".
Then there is "was ever in be" which, by itself, is a weird construction.
It does makes sense in the sentence, because it is "[the] state that Gentoo was ever in" + "be reflected upon".
But since I was (unconsciously) dividing the sentence in smaller parts trying to identify the subject, the predicate, the verb, the object, or whatever would make sense for me,
cutting the sentence like that only confused me even more.
I kept going back and forth trying to imagine which word was missing,
and only after pushing through until the quotation, the whole sentence finally made sense.

Although I can't think of any example right now,
I know that it is common to use sentences with structure similar to this one,
and I see them almost daily, probably multiple times a day.
However, as a non-native speaker, this one was an actual struggle,
and I feel so good for having overcome it that I am willing comment on it.

For closure, if I was the one writing this sentence, I would probably use the active voice with an indefinite pronoun, which is also probably what my mind was expecting:

Only on HN would anyone reflect upon any state that Gentoo was ever in as "just worked like a breeze".

And I ask: were there native speakers that also couldn't understand it in a single reading?

Infinite growth is a sily idea and I doubt the majority of people really think this is a worthwhile / desirable thing to shoot for anyway goal anyway.

I don't see why we can't have tech, sustainable travel (more rail, even intercontinental high speed trains), renewable energy industries and innovation, and more driving a sustainable economy?
So once upon a time, in the area I lived, the local country music station sponsored a cow chip throwing contest. You got to take your pick from a literal pile of dung, and threw from a designated spot, and there were people there with tape measures to measure how far you got.

Well, I was an early teenager. I was in line to throw, and I was bragging about how good my cow chip was - how it had this perfect indent for me to grip it, and so on. And the guy standing next to me in line saw what I meant, and offered to buy it from me.

I literally sold a cow chip for 50 cents.

Looking back on it, I suspect he may have had some alcohol...

So, yeah. It's not just peas that people throw in competitions.
I think the let it fails slogan is taken too literally, especially by people who don't use OTP.

You can handle errors and exceptions if you want, the supervisors etc are more here for the unexpected failures that happens for all sort of reasons in any software.

You can use the Firefox widget to provide a search bar and set your search provider in Firefox to Kagi. I assume you could also do that with chrome.
Increasing rents and house prices is 100% to blame the owner/seller. If you want to destroy your own community for your personal gain you can't blame anybody else. Almost 100% of the population thinks it is right for home sellers and landlords to squeeze out as much as they can. Then blame somebody else for the consequences.

How the append-only btree works (2010)
Bloomberg's Odd Lots podcast had an episode on nuclear recently:

> The US is taking a fresh look at nuclear power. After a dearth of construction, and de-commissioning of working nuclear plants, people are talking, yet again, about it as a source of steady, affordable, carbon-free electricity. But of course, nuclear has its drawbacks, particularly on the financial side, as new plants have been plagued by cost over-runs, contributing to utility bankruptcies. So what would need to happen to get the economics working again? On this episode we speak with Mark Nelson, the founder of Radiant Energy Group, to discuss the state of the industry, the state of the technology, and what it would take to bring nuclear back into the mix.

I ported my Google voice number to voip.ms a few years ago. It has worked well except for the very occasional system that refuses to attempt to send my number SMS on account of believing it to be a landline. I think that may have just been one time. A few months ago, I dropped my cell plan and switched to a data-only plan from Ubigi. It's dirt cheap even for a US+EU data plan, as long as you don't need a ton of data. In the us, it uses T-Mobile's network I think, which is fine in my area but not the best in some areas of the country.
if you're an american software engineer.
Completely different use case though. WhatsApp doesn’t give you a virtual phone number. Also, GV is immune to SIM hijacking which makes SMS 2F more secure when it’s the only 2F option offered (often the case for US banks). Since GV is your normal account you can secure it with passkeys/U2F/OTP to improve the effective security you get for 2F sms. It’s not perfect but it’s something. Additionally, this authentication is available when traveling just from an internet connection whereas SMS charges you roaming rates / you might be using a different provider while traveling.

Sure, for example, and as the link itself is about, tofu.

So what I do in practice when I want a vegan sandwich is a thin-ish slice of smoked tofu[0] instead of vegan cheese, before adding lettuce or cucumber or whatever.

When I want a vegan pizza, however, this particular tofu isn't very melty. It tastes great even cold, like cheese, but no melt.

Most days I'm only eating vegetarian, not vegan, but if I can get a good melty tofu that fits in a similar gap for both diet and flavour even as a simple topping (let alone as a more complex part of the recipe as in, say, quiche) then that makes it easier to eat vegan on more days.

All the old Disney back catalog is still new to my kids so they just watch that and ignore the new junk.
So true. And good point about the blink tag.
TikTok, YouTube and maybe Netflix are changing/have changed the media landscape. Soon Netflix is going to have all the big studios content again yet for certain demographics they arent using the other streamers & Netflix less n less as YouTube and TikTok are free. They also offer shorter forms of content that prompt sharing and discussions between friends (social). Content consumption habits are and have changed!

Personally I watch YouTube 90 percent of the time (short to long form content) as its algorithm is the best .. it continues to feed me exactly what I'd like to watch day in/day out. Other percentage TikTok (rather Facebook reels for myself) and some HBO max. I canceled all the others I subscribed to in 2023(Disney, Hulu, peacock, etc) and never even bothered using friends account for Paramount.

People age out of being competitive athletes themselves and coaching is a natural way to stay involved with the sport.

This logic doesn't make sense considering how many Googlers used Inbox and Plus and so forth. I imagine they don't kill it because their ads feature where you can click to call the advertiser uses the same infrastructure. It's the ultimate sales conversion tracker.
I dropped cable in 2007, and streaming last year. If streaming is no longer a value and ad free then I don't have a need for it.

I don't know what you mean by impure package. You can modify the build of any nix package and it will rebuild everything just like Gentoo.

I don't personally believe in the CFLAGS "performance" micro-optimization though so that's not really something that matters to me. Security is pretty hardened by default on Nix: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#sec-hardening-flags...
You always have to remember to fun roll the loops, though. :)

This is why relying on google for anything is shooting yourself in the face. Thanks for the information.
I am not sure what you mean, but in the chrooted environment where you compile for a distinct machine you obviously use configuration options, including compiler flags, appropriate for the target computer, not for the host computer, so "-mtune=native" cannot be used.

My point is that you do not need to setup a binrepo or any other complication like this.

You can install easily Gentoo on a very weak computer, by performing the installation on a typical desktop computer, which may run a different Linux distribution, not necessarily also Gentoo, and then just copying the files.

The Gentoo manual has always included information on how to install Gentoo inside a chrooted environment.
Much better than -boringroll-loops.
I don’t like reading subtitles period (totally distracts from actually watching the movie for me) and I don’t like dubs either as the words not lining up annoys me.
Yeah, I use Three, and despite their claim to have good coverage indoor and outdoor in my area, it sucks on mobile. I might try the router, thanks for the tip. Despite having an optic cable to my house, my landline provider cant supply gigabit connectivity. If I had fast 5g i’d use it for downloads and streaming, and the landline for use cases where latency is important.
Great, when are you giving up your computer and internet connection?

(disclosure: I built this)
My setup has evolved over time and fits how I work now.

3 screens, all 4K, in | - - arrangement (portrait, landscape, landscape)

Left, vertical screen: terminals, Dash app, and documentation.

Middle, horizontal screen: Emacs showing org-journal+org-roam, VSCode, Firefox.

Right, horizontal screen: Chats and email, devtools from Firefox, separate VSCode workspaces, etc.

Main problem I've ran into was the newer M1-based non-Ultra/Max Macbook Pros don't support more than 2 external displays unless you use DisplayLink which is CPU-based and lags enough to notice. I wasn't able to convince our client to buy a laptop that would support my layout :/
Well, yea. :D
