fiscal policies in the US have been very far from "lax" -- they have been highly engineered via "quantitative easing" to artificially grow the economy (the debt, really) through massive money-printing and asset inflation programs.

"Lax" policies would have avoided repeated and continuous intervention and let the chips fall where they may.
Yes! You can import your existing history from all shells we support:

- zsh

What does that change? Only advantage I can think of is that you can share/resell physical copies
I'm back :P
I agree, young people don’t invest in others anymore. It has emotionally become a consumer world. E.g., try getting some volunteers at your local sports club.
I haven't played a game in ages, decided to try this one. Trying to:

a) sign up to Steam, and

b) pay for the game

was a pain and I still don't have the game! The amount of CAPTCHAs and email checks and having to be in this country or that country for payment options was seemingly endless and infuriating. I remember thinking that being able to download music, games and films would be better but now I wish I was back in the 90's buying cassettes and CDs!

Still, the demo looks great.

"At 18 you were able to get a driver's license and start drinking stronger drinks"

You must have lived in a different german reality then.

For us it was always easy to get someone else to buy your booze, if it was not already given to you somehow by the older guys. Or if you looked slightly older(I was NEVER asked for ID while buying drinks). Many people in my age group developed a drinking habit - and big surprise, quite some of them turned into alcoholics later. Also no surprise, with so many adult role models being drinkers as well.

The general principle of gradually allowing more, might help a tiny little bit preventing early access for some people, but it absolutely did not help prevent alcohol abuse. There is just a general culture of alcohol abuse (Oktoberfest and co). So yeah, we had also fun, but I strongly reject the idea, that alcohol could help preventing smartphone addicts or is somehow better. Rather the contrary as teens still drink today and can just get addicted to both.
I've often read that, but in my experience it's not true. Drivers before 7 don't work on 7+. Exes from win XP era often fail to run, even with the compatibility modes offered by the OS. Heck, the only times I used compatibility modes where as workarounds for binaries that didn't exist when XP support had already ended...
Slowing down and resisting unauthorised scanners does sound like one more layer of defence to me.
Pretty much!

Atuin tends to get shared more readily on Mastodon/Twitter than it does HN, which explains everything other than the 2023-HN-spike. We've also been on a few podcasts and newsletters
The party doesn't matter, government regulation is mostly allowed to exist at the behest of defacto monopolies. It sure as hell isn't the common man making these things happen, nor is it people who represent us in a meaningful way.

It does play into their hands perfectly to blame 'the Republicans' or 'the Democrats', and it does indeed make the problem seem more solvable, easy solution right? Vote out the other guy, problem solved, except when we do that, problem not solved, it just changes the guy who's cashing the checks because the problem is much, much bigger than that (and those that cause the problem are much smarter than that).
They already acquired Aruba in 2015 (https://investors.hpe.com/financial/acquisitions)...
At least six global mass extinctions suggest to me that you're correct. However, life itself did survive global magma flows, asteroid impacts, etc. With that in mind I'd say the species that rules Earth is probably a single celled organism which lives deep underground and feeds on chemical gradients. You could blast the whole planet apart without life changing a whole lot for that little guy and his brethren.

> you probably should spend your time with something different than building zip bombs, and instead fix the security problems you have.

Why not both? You can both create a well configured server to reduce its attack surface and add a booby-trap or two for really adamant scanners which hit very specific endpoints on your site.

I don't have to welcome every scanner with open arms. Maybe I'm doing some research, PoC||GTFO style, and your scanner found my research. It's not my problem.
What are you arguing about then? Nintendo controls the Switch platform much more strictly than Apple does, it’s cheaper and much easier to ship a game on iOS
Perhaps used to be true, however I believe active countermeasures will grow in importance in the near future. We are on the cusp of seeing a lot more sophisticated class of automated attacks (once the malicious cyber actors get a grasp on how to use LLM's in their favour) and active disruption of these capabilities will be important, not just building more shields around yourself. Before that, we need to fast-track the normalization of using active countermeasures as most are in the same camp as you are.
I can see it to some extent in gen Z. Once alpha ages a bit, I could totally see that being their counterculture.
Sadly this is the right direction. With time, companies will learn, but we can all be afraid on what world they will push for to solve this (it will be less like "put more resources on proper opsec" and more like "browser attestation").
You are assuming that demand is not elastic though. If 1,000,000 more houses were built in the desirable parts of CA and filled with new residents, are you completely sure that there wouldn’t still be at least as many people seeking to live there as this year? It would still be just as temperate and any dip in prices would be seized on as a great opportunity to snap up a home, increasing demand. I suspect the equilibrium price of housing would barely change at all.

I am still very pro-development, but I don’t actually think it would get cheaper to live in these places - just because there’s such a plentiful supply of more people to move there.
MacOs is supposed to be pretty, not performant.
If the client supports Brotli, this attack can be made much more effective because the maximum compression ratio of Brotli is much higher than gzip. DEFLATE used by gzip has the maximum ratio of 1032:1 because each run can emit at most 258 bytes and need at least 2 bits, but Brotli allows zero bits per code when there is only one code possible. So Brotli's result only depends on the underlying metablock overhead, but sadly each metablock can contain at most 2^24 - 1 uncompressed bytes (because that uncompressed size is encoded per each metablock, while DEFLATE needs a separate end-of-block code). Still this translates to at least 1000000:1 ratio so it's worthwhile.
A hello world driver maybe? My XP printer driver didn't work on 7, had to buy a new one.
How exactly? You can still only run applications approved by Nintendo. Also besides this the Switch is still massively more restrictive than the iOS appstore
This can also be done with nginx's gzip_static/brotli_static, somewhat easier.

One similar technique against port scanners is to send ~50% rejects and do ~50% drops in the case of closed ports. Most of them will pollute their output or slow down tremendously assuming packet loss.
This is not at all how it works.

Twitch giving money to Amazon is just a number in a computer somewhere.

Even if the government "forces" them to change those numbers on a computer, there is nothing stopping Amazon from just giving twitch more money to fund it, if they knew it were "profitable".

The real reason is that twitch buys AWS services at cost with zero profit to anyone, and even at those low prices it still can't make money.

Twitch is doomed.

.. or more like 'How to retaliate when you think too much of your [website] importance'.

While the ability to (maaaaybe) crash the crawler sounds nice it probably doesn't do what do you think. At best you just snapped off one head of Hydra, only more to come.

Also using PHP instead of the web-server's path actions...
It really is only in the world of IT security is this attitude so pervasive, where you constantly blame victims. While defense is a great offense it can't hurt to be an annoyance to bad actors.
I would like to see a chart that shows "physical activity vs mental illness". Physical exercising is known to be one of the most effective methods to prevent and cure mental illnesses and especially kids' activity levels have plummeted in the past one or two decades. I think this might easily be the whole story and no other intervention is needed than to get the kids to play outside and do sports again.
Libscientific, a powerful C library for multivariate data analysis
Exploring datasets with missing variables in the context of multivariate analysis requires careful consideration to ensure the integrity and reliability of your results.

libscientific, compared with the most diffused ML packages (scikit-learn and so on), do not impute or exclude features with missing variables. Thanks to the NIPALS algorithm implemented in the most common and used multivariate algorithms (Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least-Squares, and Consensus Principal Component Analysis), skip the missing values, avoiding erroneous conclusions due to data alteration.

Is multivariate analysis a valid tool to consider in 2024, the AI era, LLM, GPT-4? The answer is Yes. Multivariate analysis is relevant and essential in various disciplines, including statistics, data science, economics, psychology, biology, chemistry, and general data science. Multivariate analysis helps organize data to uncover actionable insights for current problems and complex relations between data.

Depressive realism might be. And there is no ethical way for me to argue for that.

My link is also not arguing for being depressed. Once you are here, by all means make the best of it. But to give you all a flashback to sex ed, do the right thing and use a condom.

Maybe OP, despite the article being about college football, was considering how the realignment might affect athletes in other sports?

For college football, it’s only ~12 games a season and they typically are played at or near the weekend. But for many other sports, the schedule is heavier and played throughout the week.

I believe, as maybe OP did, the college football realignment (along with its many other faults) will potentially more detrimental to the athletes in other sports.
And you didn't carry it with you everywhere.

What "client"? This looks like a researcher reporting a bug for free (or maybe through a bug bounty program). They have zero obligation and the vendor is not a "client".
Depressant doesn't mean it makes you depressed. Alcohol is as old as civilization and absolutely will improve mental health if not over consumed. It's called having fun and enjoying your limited time here.
In the experience of my department, event sourcing has brought complexity, not taken it away. Theoretically, when done right, by skilled and disciplined teams and to store the state of one system to build projections off of and not to publish state changes to other systems, I think it might work. But in most cases it's overkill. A big investment with an uncertain payoff.

Find a new job as soon as possible. Even if the promise of no more layoffs is true, when the atmosphere affects your ability to perform, you gain nothing by staying there. Your mental health should be top priority.

Also, if anxiety causes you to underperform, if/when there'll be a new round of layoffs, you might be on the line anyway.

While all you say is very true, that does not make them critical. Critical stuff is what those people/org will buy with the money: clean water, food, antibiotics…

In a harsh environment (war, crisis, epidemic…) you can give up paying the parking but you still need to eat. This is critical.
No, the entire project is about using existing languages (C/C++) on GPUs, the project you linked is their internal IR (intermediate representation) which is what they compile the C/C++ down to before it is turned into a Vulkan compute shader.

>I’m saying this because most people got from their CS degree that NP hardness is practically a death sentence. But it‘s really not true.

It's a death sentence for economists, since they rely on every agent optimizing the entire economy of 8 billion agents in real time. 3 hours for 8 million variables isn't real time.
You'll lose the most time on the rough edges of each thing, the one or two minor things you didn't get around to solving on each effectively stack as the pieces are expected to work together. It's like multiplying probabilities, even though each is 95 - 98 % done, the whole is like 40% done when there are many pieces like this.

This has a terrible effect on morale since it presents as insurmountable.
I find it funny they try to make people not devoting their full time/energy to a capitalist company as lesser. Trick’s on them, the company is there to exploit to you, you aren’t part of some greater cause. The more of your time you give the company, the more value they get.
What did they say? I have a feeling it was something sexist based on the comment they replied to but I'm not sure.
Yep.

Boredom drives in person socialising and creativity.

Human contact and the act of creation engender life satisfaction, a long term persistent sense of well-being that is far better for you than short term spikes of happiness, and the antithesis of depression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_CLI_languages

At first it seems like an impressive list of languages! But upon closer inspection, over half of them are either abandoned or are commercial products that have been coasting mostly unmaintained for a decade... By now even the JVM ecosystem is a lot healthier.

With WebAssembly, all languages[1] supported by LLVM can be compiled with no custom compiler nonsense. AND we get all the languages[2] that depend on those languages for free as well! The entire burden is on LLVM (and soon GCC) with everything benefiting downstream, surely you can see how it's different from CLI/JVM?

This time the compile-once-run-everywhere promise might actually be true.

1. C, C++, Zig, Rust, etc
2. Python, Perl, PHP, Lua, we can even do some inception with webassembly runtimes.
Brains are contextual. A scent might bring back a specific memory of a time and place complete with visual and auditory hallucinations, for lack of a better term. All trauma happened in the individual's past, often childhood. It makes sense that revisiting childhood contexts in any form might offer access to the regions of brain which encode the traumatic experiences. Revisiting prior experiences with present perspective and working to put them into words is the underpinnings of talk therapy.
I haven't written Java as my day to day for about 5 years. Instead I write... Python :-)

It's just that I recognize disingenuous comments.

Java is perfectly adequate as a language for writing command line tools. You're likely using one of them weekly and don't even know it.

Just don't write your Java CLIs using Spring or DI frameworks in general :-)
The UK doesn't have an opioid crisis like the US, and road deaths have been falling for decades. The drop in UK life expectancy is almost entirely due to the pandemic. That doesn't just mean deaths from COVID though: in the UK an increased pressure on health services has lead to delays in all sorts of treatment, which have caused spikes in deaths from other causes too.
It doesn't affect the wage of the individual postal worker.

What is interesting is how long can the main participant of the unions, in this case IF Metall, hold out. According to them, based on that the strike only affects around hundred workers, the strike fund lasts for approximately 500 years...
The pesky red tape surrounding drugs where people died during clinical studies?

This thread has everyone suggesting there's been a a miracle drug that doctors have been ignoring.

Doctors have not been ignoring it. This drug fucks with your heart rhythm, people died taking it. Doctors are also still researching it, addiction is a serious affliction and there's loads of research done on possible solutions.
Just circling back here to say thanks for the correction. The "seemingly" part is what I missed.
As an outsider with close to zero knowledge of American football, the spectacle of college athletics seems bizarre. I mean, I understand the old principle of _mens sana in corpore sano_ but it’s a stretch to imagine college athletics serving that goal for all but a very few students. I don’t doubt that the system has produced some academic success stories but it must be the exceptional case. Instead, the whole system bears the taint of over involvement of parties with financial incentives that have nothing to do with the mission of the academy.
Does Atuin offer ability to save current path (with timestamp as a bonus) for the command as well?

Looking at OP it looks like it does " recording additional command context"

Often (meaning once every few months) I have to SSH to some less used machines and remember a few incantations where path and time is crucial.

In bash there is a hacky way to add current path and timestamp to history, but I've never gotten it to work exactly right. If you add timestamp then it seems to duplicate the timestamp when you repeat the command.
I know of teams that spent over a year trying to build a generic import system on streams, at multiple companies, and in both cases they should have just stood up a simple service on boxes with a lot of ram and auto scaling. Load CSV into memory. Done.

Just learned about a Belgian company called Gablok doing something similar. One of the cool things about a Gablok house is that you can move it. The company that builds it for you can dismantle and reassemble it. For example if you live in Michigan and retire to Florida you can take your house with you!

Yes if it's 100% reliable and I'm alone then I'd have a low treshold. But it feels weird having a UX that works when I'm alone and isn't accessible when I'm not. On your phone you can just enter "eggs" to your shopping list. But if devices move away from the general purpose input UX, then you'd have to talk to it on the bus. And when it's only 90% reliable you'd have people shouting shopping lists on buses...

Once you're past the fundamentals, if find yourself interested in high-performance networking, I recommend looking into userspace networking and NIC device drivers. The Intel 82599ES has a freely available (and readable!) data sheet, DPDK has a great book, fd.io has published absolutely insane benchmarks, ixy [1] has a wonderful paper and repo. It's a great way to go beyond the basics of networking and CPU performance. It's even more approachable today with XDP – you don't need to write device-specific code.

I’d argue that the author glosses over 2008 recession as the underlying issue by saying that the recovery was well underway by 2012.

The reality of the recovery wasn’t shared equally and those who got the short end of the stick for the last decade likely shared those worries with their children (directly or indirectly)

Does anyone know how the child’s parental income impacts the growth of depression / anxiety over the same time period?
You mean like OpenAI, whose LLM tech is heavily based on original research done quite a while ago by Jürgen Schmidhuber in Germany? Does that now make OpenAI and the LLM hype a paragon of European innovation, and its success "accidential"?
