This approach makes sense for even non-freelance deployments. Our primary income earner is a beast, with a custom workflow engine, orchestrated across multiple Docker containers in the cloud etc. However, our marketing site is a Wordpress site with a standard set of plugins, and I don't think I have a single line of custom code on it.

How old are your kids? There's a difference between a teenager, and a six year old (who I'd argue shouldn't be on digital devices at all - there's far too much research on how kids brains develop from interaction with the physical world, and how the digital world shortcuts this badly, to their long term harm).

The short answer is, "No, there is not. There are simply ways to make it harder." However, there's no shortage of companies happy to sell you things they claim will do that - impossible though it is, having been a kid, and having done a lot of network related work in my years.

What you can do is provide an environment in which it's harder (not impossible - simply harder!) to run across stuff unintentionally, and ensure that computing hardware is an environment where it's more difficult to start intentionally bypassing boundaries set up.

A Pihole is a good start, but it's also trivial to bypass unless you lock down your network pretty hard, prevent external DNS servers from being usable (blocking UDP/TCP 53 outbound from everything but the pihole goes a long way here), and manage to block DNS over HTTPS (which is a bloody nightmare), as well as external SSH connections you can SOCKS proxy over. Assuming there's a good endpoint. However, the Pihole will help keep the amount of crap down, and should do a decent job (with proper blocklists) of helping prevent unintentionally following links one doesn't care to follow (think "hosts entries to block certain goat and tub sites," if you were on the internet in the early 2000s).

Any computer a kid is using needs to be in a public space in the house, with decent foot traffic, and you should ask them what they're doing often enough that it's clear you're paying at least some attention.

No cell phones with browsers or mobile devices until they're quite a bit older (mid teens, maybe?). If they need a cellular device, get them a flip phone.

And then beyond that, it's going to be kid specific.

And make sure there are plenty of things to do that don't involve computers in their lives.

The book that just came out, "The Anxious Generation," by Haidt, goes into some detail on the results of our experiments of more or less unlimited internet warfare on the development of kids, and the results are an absolute disaster, especially for tween/teen girls (in terms of mental health, suicide, happiness, human connection... pick your metric, it's been a disaster for them).

And if you think this is over the top, go spend some time on r/Parenting and look for posts by teachers talking about the sort of absolutely absurd stuff they see on phones from kids in grade school and middle school...

You can't prevent home invasions altogether (someone can always bring a rocket launcher to blow your door off), so why bother locking your front door?
I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

My eventual plan is to have a tool that works independently for each devices and home-ish setup that I can keep tinkering while taking care of the home-devices that stays home.

That's true, however neither the mechanism to do this in I/O streams, nor the weighty mechanism for std::format come close to what Rust's derive macro offers for Debug, and in my experience asking for so much means you often won't get anything because programmers are lazy.

That is, for a custom type in Rust having rudimentary Debug output is one word added to the list of derive macros, the word "Debug". Almost everybody will write that, it's barely effort.

To get that in C++ I/O Streams you need to write an operator overload function and must be careful to write it correctly. Trivial types usually don't bother, but many C++ programmers are comfortable writing this for an important type.

For std::format you need to write a template which is already pretty scary, and then it needs to implement custom parse and format steps, this is because std::format allows your custom type to define its own custom formatting rules. This is extremely powerful, but everybody must pay for this power. I have not seen most people bother doing all this at all.
The title appears to work in the context of ACS Nano. Has 200+ citations, and cited by several other 200+ papers. Maybe double the average ACS Nano citations of 87 (Exaly says 1.5 million citations on 17,200 papers https://exaly.com/journal/12906/acs-nano) If other authors found it click baity, they found it click bait in a way that deserved inclusion in their own work above the norm of ACS Nano.
Yeah, very true. Obviously you can't do everything yourself, but a lot of people have gone the other way, and given away responsibility for their health to the professionals and the numbers.

The numbers don't tell the whole story, and the professionals are looking out for themselves as well as taking care of you (at minimum!)

A 50% rate isn't that bad though? Like, I don't think anyone claims that you can't get cancer while not being obese, it's just that obesity is an increased risk factor and needs more attention. As another comment said above, many people ignore the signs of their body, choosing to just suppress them with medicating themselves or ignore them entirely; so they usually don't notice when something is off.
Early treatment of cancer is not always better: "Surgery for early prostate cancer may not save lives. Most men just as likely to survive with limited or no treatment" https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/surgery-early-prostate-cance.... I wonder if this is true of other types of cancer.
How about a device that can perform more than one computation then? e.g. the Antikythera mechanism could calculate the motion of the planets, and, separately, eclipses. Universality is the only characteristic that makes a difference, but I think the author avoids this because they don't want to be caught up in debates about whether modern computers are truly universal.

The article is trying to make the distinction between what is, and isn't a "computer" sound crisp and exact, when it's arbitrary and ad-hoc.

I think you're misreading what I am saying and injecting some extra anger.

To use a simple example of what I meant - in the west, the secular section of society has below-replacement fertility. In other words, for whatever reason that group is slowly dying off. I hate to say this as someone who was secular most of my life but I think it's objectively true (do you disagree?)

Meanwhile religious folks live in the same world as we do yet somehow are able to maintain 2.5 to 3.5 fertility rate (this is in the US) depending on which version of the "homicidal inhuman G-d" they believe in.

This suggests to me that somewhere in that "religious" operating system is encoded immunity to things that are slowly killing off the unreligious right now. That's the kind of thing I was talking about in my post - we should be very careful about discarding that.

I see what you mean with your original post - I have to sadly admit that I read your post wrong (you weren't unclear, I was just not reading properly).

In my initial reading, I looked at the images and assumed you were talking about the reduced real-estate in the rest of the screen due to the expanded menu. Reading more carefully, you were talking about the extra added space on the right margins.

Now that I see what you are talking about, I admit, yes, there is significant extra space on the right margin, but I disagree that it deserves the description of "awful". It's not ideal, but it's not really awful either - readable, understandable and easy on the eyes.

Show HN: Calliagnosia – An alternate rendering engine for the Vision Pro
Hey HN, I've been working on an Application using the Vision Pro's development kit that aims to remove appearance biases that have been overwhelming our society. We all know how children are becoming even more self-conscious these days, and I wanted to make a product that won't make them have to worry about that anymore. Using a custom Mixtral Model, the app finds unique features in a person's face and normalizes them with a baseline model of an average human face. This way while you wear your Vision Pro, every person you see looks exactly the same! I'll be releasing the source code and model with weights within the next couple of days. For now, I've created an introduction trailer along with a site explaining its capabilities. Let me know if you have any questions about the product or if you want beta access!

Did they already understand allotropy?
> The paper mentions that they used the software MCNP to estimate this factor, but it does not mention how they treated the change of phase. When the projectile reaches the temperature they describe (11600 K), the mean velocity of the hydrogen ions is about 16 times higher than the mean velocity of the uranium atoms, so basically all the hydrogen is gone. The amount of moderator just went from a certain number to zero.

The hydrogen having a higher mean velocity doesn't mean it goes anywhere. When the uranium and moderator are initially vaporized the iron shell is still intact (there isn't enough time for the heat to conduct to it nor for the protons from the ionized hydrogen to escape) so everything is still contained within the projectile at that point. There are control drums that act both to moderate neutrons while the projectile is in motion and to keep the barrel subcritical when the projectile is clear of the section. In the paper they report that K_eff peaks right before the uranium is vaporized and then drops off rapidly.

> there's no discussion of the neutron economy inside the barrel.

The paper models the projectile and barrel as a single system. Power generation in the barrel is approximately 1/25th that in the projectile.

> why was this paper published in Acta Astronautica, and not in a nuclear physics of nuclear engineering journal? The application is indeed to rockets, but the meat of the paper is the nuclear fission.

The meat of the paper is generating and containing a high speed plasma projectile that just happens to be generated by fission. It's not trying to do anything innovative on the nuclear side beyond throwing a weird (and for non-space applications irrelevant) configuration into standard simulation software.

You know what drives me not to be involved? Knowing that buying a mug from a candidate I like virtually guarantees a torrent of emails from every downticket race in markets I’ve never lived in. And because of the way they set up the lists, unsubscribing means unsubscribing only from “Kelleher for Coroner” in a county halfway across the country. The worst part is the incredible entitlement you experience if you mention this to someone involved in a campaign. I continue to vote, but I haven’t donated a penny to a campaign in more than a decade, specifically to avoid the harassment.

Yes, the libnss stuff is also a problem.

TBH I'm having a very hard time finding freelance work in Germany.

Back when I started, in 2002, all the local companies were Microsoft goons. Asp.net blah.

And I was the idealistic Linux PHP MySQL guy, version 3 back then. Life was simple and good.

I had work from local people and I got introduced to a local dipl. graphic design studio of 3 people.
I created a guest book in PHP with design in 4 hours. I didn't know that the visit to that company was a test, because I went wherever with my friend, the singer/DJ.
I also did tour posters for him or rather the band, because it was fun and he asked me to.

One poster in particular created a lot of drama or let's say attention, when they were on an Africa tour. I put the heads of the groups members on a known image of religious statues, replaced the statues' faces.
Well the religious folk didn't take it too well but the youth liked it and the concerts were full.

Anyhow I digress. I got the job and created quite a few projects. I ran my own hosting company.

Then I got involved with a girl who cheated on me and that changed my life.
I didn't work for others anymore.
The designer company split up and I was out of sources for projects.

With the same friend I partnered to create a site which generated enough ad revenue to live a good life. I wanted more, that is, to expand, because I knew this wouldn't last. We could've signed young musicians and created a record label, but he was content with working in a factory and have his side gig, where he's the star and blah.
Eventually the disagreement got too big and the project ended.

I did PHP until 2013 then moved to Go because the stupidity in PHP and the wrong type of dogma just became too much, and Go was great. It took a lot of burden away vs the PHP craze, the OO fetishism, fucking dogma of stupidity.

But Go's ecosystem was barren.
I wanted years on writing routers and libraries.
I got into AngularJS, because the Google+ hype was real.
Then moved to Angular but oh well.
And finally Vue as my go to choice of frontend framework, with Quasar.
On the backend I use Go with ent and either postgres or mysql, but also mongodb.

Nowadays all the companies in the area are PHP joints or C# or react frontends.

I can't get in touch with them, they're stuck in their beliefs, are too arrogant to even consider someone with 20 years of hands on experience knows better.

So I just work for myself, and check jobs, which are ridiculous in their requirements.
I love building stuff, but I hate the whole IT industry. The stupidity, the dogma, the hype and the arrogance.

It's like, the PHP jobs are 90% shopware e-commerce and have literally no big requirements, but I hate PHP.
As soon as you cross over to Go land, it's all cloud, microservices, broker, grpc or similar and of course Docker and Kubernetes. Because they all read the hype about k8s and cloud on their golf courses.
I'm sick of it.
But where is the serverless blockchain?

Ask HN: Who's teaching tech by sharing their skills online?
Hey HN,

Ever thought about making an online course or workshop with your tech skills? It's not just for cash but to spread knowledge. Many of us have deep experience that could help others. Have you shared yours? What worked, and what didn't? Hit any snags or discovered shortcuts?

There's a real gap between having skills and teaching them. I'm keen to hear if you've tried, what tools you used, and how it went, success or fail.

If you haven't tried, what's stopping you? Worried you don't have enough to teach, or no one would be interested? Or maybe feeling like an imposter?

Would love to hear your thoughts.
