I don't know how else to tell you that anger very, very, very literally gives a person energy. Amongst other emotions (like fear as I have already mentioned, but also e.g. excitement), part of its arousal is your body being flooded with epinephrine et al, which provokes a significant boost in cardiovascular performance.

> The original claim was "do what needs to be done" and now you backtracked to claim that instead the idiot who gets angry needs to control himself to not do stupid stuff that angry people do.

The original claim (not by me, mind you) was that "When we witness injustice, when our loved ones are threatened or harmed, when someone treats us with contempt or disrespect, anger is our signal that we must take action, and it gives us the energy and courage to do what must be done."

Again, I don't know how else to tell you that this is a plain fact. This is something that anybody with even a surface-level understanding of neuroscience and psychology should know. Fear and anger are both emotions that are triggered by perceived danger/threats and that prepare a person to respond to said danger. Pointing out that it is still up to you as a person to choose when and how to use that elevated state of readiness is not "backtracking", it is basic emotional intelligence. If you aren't able to regulate your emotions - all of them, not just the ones labelled negative - then that's on you, not on the sheer existence of your limbic system.

But then again I can see how this would be a confusing concept for anyone stuck in an "anger = bad" thought-terminating loop.
"rule-bound mindset, and it's almost universal acceptance of government" -- I think this could be similar for non-European countries like Japan. Most countries that are different in this respect, apart from the US, are probably poorer ones.

I really don't think that this is the case. Godel proved that some truths cannot be proven. That seems pretty fundamental, and I think that's what made him so impactful, e.g. much more than e.g. the halting problem, which is about computation solely.

What Godel also showed was that we can expand our a prioris, e.g. add another truth that "feels" intuitive to the axioms, and then we can understand some theorem or truth (ie. look under the hood, understand its mechanics). But that means expanding the system by some sort of oracle, some sort of "genius intuition". Fair enough, mathematicians will agree by consensus if it's the right think to do, but it's also infinitely regressive. So I'd agree with corysama here "we won't be able to get past regardless of how much time and cleverness we apply to them".

> I truly don't believe there is any idea, thinkable by any human mind, that can't be communicated in simple writing

I have sympathy with this point of view when it comes to journalism, corporate writing, manuals and explanatory books. But novels (can be) more than that. Imagine a poem that followed your rules - yes, you could get the ideas across, but would it be poetry? It might be, but poems don't have to be simple - part of their joy can be their ambiguity, their multi-layered nature that tickles your brain without being direct about it.

Novels can have this aspect too. The English language is a rich, nuanced, complex thing and it feels sad not to be able to take it out for a spin sometimes. That doesn't mean being deliberately obfuscatory (too fancy?) but it does mean allowing the novelist to tell a story in their own way.

I think every reader has their sweet spot. I've certainly attempted to read novels that were too hard for me. I've read some where the prose was uninspiring. There is a happy medium which is readable and yet the language itself delights, stretches you just a little bit - where you come out feeling just a little smarter. The trouble is, everyone's 'happy medium' is a bit different... also that sweet spot can vary with time and mood. It's like music. Sometimes you might want something challenging, at other times something familiar and 'easy'

I searched for "horror movies" and the first result was a lemmy community that has literally "616 subscribers" "30 Posts" and "76 Comments" which is about as dead as you would expect from a lemmy instance.

I also searched for "league of legends", and it couldn't find its homepage.

I think its ranking algorithm may need improvement.

Edit: also, I'd rather not say this, but do we really need another DuckDuckGo? I don't think Google fails at its job because of financial incentives. I think it might fail at this job simply put because the web of 2024 isn't the web of 1990. For example, the lemmy result, it's a link aggregation about horror movie articles. The search engine could literally do the job of the link aggregator, as it has a SERP that aggregates links, and yet it's aggregating links to link aggregators. Why are the search engines doing this? Because it's 2024. I wish someone tried a new approach at this problem rather than just copying Google's design and saying "it's Google but not yucky".

It’s not about an individual website, it’s about the industry. It’s not that Netflix, or any other service, is hard to use on its own. It’s the fragmentation of the content that makes it hard to use.

This was solved for with music where pretty much every service has pretty much every song. People don’t need multiple music services, they just pick the one that best fits their style and needs. This is what the movie and TV industry needs to do if they want to beat piracy. This is what they should have done 15 years ago. Their greed is hurting them more than it’s helping.

I think this "Jungian" perspective confuses introversion and introspection. And in a separate post extraversion and extrospection. I am aware of how modernity recoils from objectifying temperaments (accusations of pseudoscience fly,) yet there is something alluring about the exploration of our internal mechanisms, particularly those which explain how different people relate to and interact with the world.

These are important ideas which we all find relatable, yet these attempts to make authoritative presumptions seem closed off in the frumpy convention of self selective conclusions.

Must "introverts" prove things to themselves? Or is there merely a cognitive predisposition to regard abstract principles over circumstantial stimuli?

We continue to wonder.
Building a wall of that scale overnight would be quite a feat, almost as impressive as successfully getting people to start using paper straws.
Horrible advice for expert tools. If you can make the assumption that the end user is going to learn the tool you can design it for peak effectiveness after a learning curve. If you have to consider retards and hostage situation level panic you can't do that, and create a worse product overall.
I could do that. But in the vast majority of cases, I prefer to let the acknowledged experts do that work for me - because that's what they have spent their life doing. In most cases this is more effective that me "Doing my own research" and deciding that the Earth is most decidely flat.

AFAIK the premiums we pay are lower than other provinces. I know that Alberta and Ontario are higher.

The BC liberals did loot the ICBC insurance pool of 1.2 billion dollars calling it ‘dividend payments’, which realistically should have been premium refunds. When the NDP regained power they passed legislature to
prevent this in the future, and ensure that ICBC operates as a nonprofit, which is why there were several premium refunds throughout COVID.

The unfortunate part is that ICBC doesn’t have a very complex premium structure. So you do end up with silly shit like a car with high cost of repair being insured for the same amount as a much cheaper to repair car. As a monopoly they are also required to insure all drivers no matter how bad the risk which means that we all pay to keep people on the road who should not be driving.

Let's not conflate "medical advice" with the suggestion on HN that you might want to look into a dietary change. That seems like a form of catastrophization.

If you can fix a problem by changing your diet, is it really a medical problem? Just because it relates to your health or body doesn't mean it's medical.

I know people who have made this diet change and it has changed their lives. They don't snore anymore. They don't need cpap.

If you're curious, look into it. If you're not, you're not.
The option to return from only sites popular on HN, blogroll, and the other "manage optics" settings are incredibly cool and useful, I could see myself using this just for that feature alone.

That's the worst part: Windows would be the best it's ever been if it weren't made intentionally worse.

Windows 10 is actually quite good underneath all the crap. Except for a few extremely specific gripes, I think it's just as good as 7 was. But the real W10 experience is the worst available anywhere at any time for most people. It's honestly impressive just how bad they've managed to make it while still being a nearly-functional operating system.

W11 is worse, from what I hear. I don't really care to find out.

But all of this actually just works. Right format is never an issue. To get it to the TV, I just use Plex. There’s even a smart TV app. I can also watch it on my smartphone. And download it if I know I won’t have network. Subtitles are often embedded directly in most downloads, and if not Plex always manages to find the correct ones from OpenSubtitles. These are non issues, most of the times.

Good luck with that.

I've had a CFO that didn't talk to tech people except through proxy have a "tell your mom to pass the potatoes" style meeting with his secretary as medium. Yes I stood there he talked to his secretary and repeated what each of us said 5 feet away from each other. This was a large bank.

I've had a general council yell with spittle at me because I suggested that it was probably a bad thing that the IT Dept was effectively acting as power of attorney for the company by doing digital signing for him and he should probably learn how to do it himself for legal reasons.
I don’t disagree, but I’m sure they had to come up with some mitigation after this. If each ship is shooting down the other ships primary/secondary/whatever countermeasure then in a worst case scenario you and your sister ships are only left with your CIWS. And they might still be busy shooting at your sister ships chaffs to deal with the real threat. I don’t know much about it, I just found it interesting.

Seems a bit like Star Trek - “Their shields go down for a split second when they fire”. Maybe the system goes dark for a second to avoid shooting down outgoing items? Syncing the shields might make this better (or expose other weaknesses?)
I am so impressed that you were able to figure so many things out in the puzzle! I feel like I would never be able to do that, but I feel like all that is needed is a lot of patience, a lot of time, and a lot of deep thought.
And the intriguing load/store scheme.

There were no LOAD or STORE instructions. Instead there were "address" registers (18 bits wide), matched to each "operand" (60 bit data) register.

When you updated an address register, that memory address was automatically read into the correspond operand register. Except for the last couple address registers - updating them performed a write from the corresponding operand into memory.

By our current way of thinking, it seems arse about. But it worked well when you understood it, and apparently improved concurrency. Loads and stores became sort-of transparent. (Remembering that memory was as fast, sometimes faster than the CPU, so a few instructions saved was worth the occasional unnecessary load.)

Is there any legitimate reason to minify code for extensions? The size gains are minimal since it's a one time thing. But I agree that it would be hard to enforce, though google "manages" to enforce even more ambiguous requirements on their play store haha. I guess they could make it a guideline or a requirement, and "good faith" devs would comply even if it would be hard to enforce.
I think this is what the zellij terminal multiplexer uses for extensions.

It's worth mentioning that in the opposite direction, if you wanted to have an interpreted config option with fewer compile steps, there's also the option to use lua — a language for which the compiler itself is quite small and portable

It's almost trivial and largely automated to get torrents of just about anything I want to watch for free, without ads, often within an hour of it airing or being released.

Make legal video streaming easy and reasonably priced and I'll give you more money than Comcast or Hulu ever got from me. Ideally, some all in one service that all the content producers use where I can very easily buy and download an episode, season, series, or movie. Or maybe subscribe to a show or channel. Also, no commercials. And no disappearing content, or country filtering. Don't do this bullshit where I'm paying you money to get abused because I won't. Also a video player that doesn't fight me because it seems like some of them do.

It'll never happen. These companies will never cater to the consumers paying them as long as they can abuse their customers and get rich instead.

Netflix may be slightly better in some areas than some of the other streaming services but they have almost no content I find interesting so I won't even bother.
I built an anti-spam email filtering stack a few decades ago [1] and we had great success using Rabin-Karp for exact-match filtering. It made it effectively free to add more strings to check against, since we'd match against hundreds of thousands of strings in a single pass.

It was only one tool in our arsenal but was really effective in allowing relatively untrained techs in our threat NOC to write rules for in-progress spam campaigns without needing to know regex or anything more complicated. We could usually get an RK rule into production within minutes of the first honeypot hit.

Yeah, I don't think it is for me either. I tried a few times but always found that the style of writing is so strange: if this is a science book, I expect succinct style. Instead, I found the dialogs of Achilles and the turtle are just abominable. What the heck are the intention of the author? Just write it like a science text book and I will probably get it. Also, as a big fan of Bach this book has less than 5% content about Bach.
