I have some neighbors who insisted on raising their kids this way. The parents are insane. Their kids haven't turned out super great, either.

Part of the problem lies here, and I'm doing it right now too.

In online public spaces we never have a conversation with another person, and rarely even then within a small group like enthusiast forums of yesteryear, we comment to the lynch mob. We reply to someone's statement with our own thoughts but it is not judged by the original poster if it was a good or insightful reply to what was originally said, it's judged by the mob with upvotes and downvotes and being flagged, misconstrued and nitpicked in fifty different ways. It happens here, Reddit, Facebook, YT, and any popular venue where comments are allowed. Even Github issues and pull requests.

I think it's why Discord is a popular alternative choice for many people. If you're not actively present, you can't chime in with your two cents and derail the conversation into some energy draining defense against someone's insane straw man attack. Comments needing to be in real time and the conversation being locked away and lost are a virtue for some folks.
You certainly can just throw things out there, but if you are obsessed with making every single person satisfied with your thoughts, you are going to have a bad time. The world is full of people who disagree with you, but you need to learn more than ever to recognize and filter out what you don't care about. I don't even view replies to posts any longer, 98% of the time because I am not seeking validation sharing my opinion. I still change my mind sometimes based on others thoughts and opinions, so you can't say I am fostering avoidance too much, just very selective, as my time is valuable.

1. Measuring Deep Metastability and Its Effect on Synchronizer Performance -

2. He Who Hesitates is Lost: Decisions and free will in men and machines - http://async.org.uk/David.Kinniment/DJKinniment-He-Who-Hesit...

"Buridan's ass is an illustration of a paradox in philosophy in the conception of free will. It refers to a hypothetical situation wherein an ass (donkey) that is equally hungry and thirsty is placed precisely midway between a stack of hay and a pail of water. Since the paradox assumes the donkey will always go to whichever is closer, it dies of both hunger and thirst since it cannot make any rational decision between the hay and water.

A common variant of the paradox substitutes the hay and water for two identical piles of hay; the ass, unable to choose between the two, dies of hunger.

The paradox is named after the 14th-century French philosopher Jean Buridan, whose philosophy of moral determinism it satirizes.

Although the illustration is named after Buridan, philosophers have discussed the concept before him, notably Aristotle, who put forward the example of a man equally hungry and thirsty, and Al-Ghazali, who used a man faced with the choice of equally good dates.

A version of this situation appears as metastability in digital electronics, when a circuit must decide between two states based on an input that is in itself undefined (neither zero nor one).

Metastability becomes a problem if the circuit spends more time than it should in this "undecided" state, which is usually set by the speed of the clock the system is using.

There are several reasons.

- Running ls forks an unnecessary process.

- The ls may be aliased with "-F" (or -p) which will corrupt the filenames.

- Environment variables may otherwise (unexpectedly) manipulate ls behavior.

- Files with spaces will not be evaluated correctly.

- Hostile files can be placed that mimic command line arguments.

The shell should evaluate filenames itself; it is very capable of doing so.

Once they're convinced it's the fastest and easiest way to have a wordpress instance they can publish to as they please, they most certainly are. Or, as in the example, they get the idea that having a database they can analyze will unlock key insights that will drive market share.

It doesn't matter if any of this is true. What matters is they believe it and it leaves them feeling empowered enough to invest.
yes but you a) had to be enterprising, and b) had pretty limited access to whatever was available in the recycled magazine bins and blurry TV channels (which wasn't much. I was also there), etc. Now it's 100% of anything you're told to desire, mainlined directly to your undeveloped brain with the flick of a finger.
marketing orgs often have at least engineering-adjacent people in them. And often they're just disconnected enough from the rest of the engineering org to make mistakes like this
They say that you can't run Linux on M-series Macbooks because of Apple's closed ecosystem... but that's trivially false? Apparently this guy's not heard of Asahi. You can absolutely buy something like an M1 MBA and daily drive Linux on it. I think you need to keep a MacOS partition around and boot into it to update device firmware and such though.

They said the same thing about TV for most of my childhood.
Libertarianism, like any other such utopic ideology, has this problem. The ideology requires disregarding reality and assuming the frictionless plane, because otherwise it just wouldn't work properly.

When ideals and reality go against each other, reality has a nasty habit of winning. And honestly, if seatbelts and table saws that don't cut your fingers off are such an authoritarian affront to one's freedom and personal responsibility, then so be it.

Civil disobedience is always an option to those who absolutely hate this idea, but then they should take their "personal responsibility" and "bodily autonomy" and not be shocked if they have to face the consequences.
Nice graphical breakdown.

I think the real winner isn't Bob or Alice though they each benefited from the exchange. The real winner is the credit card company that banked 10% of the transaction on Alice's side and 5% on Bob's side. Sounds like they both chose the least sensible option to handle payment.

Maybe Bob should've made it clear that he accepted cash, money orders, cashier's checks, or personal checks, or even cryptocurrency so that Alice would not need to suffer a foreign currency conversion fee especially when you consider that they live in the same small town.

Just kidding. I realize that the example transaction needed some massaging on the path to the end graph to illustrate handling of more complex, real-world transactions.

Great job producing this intuitive break-down.

There is one thing that I found interesting near the top of the tutorial. You make the statement "But money is meant to be spent." If money exists to be spent then why do so many people accumulate such vast sums that they could never spend all that they have managed to accumulate? Dumb question, I know. Money in the hand has indeterminate or no value until the bearer needs to acquire a product or service and then the value of the money in hand is set by the seller of the product or service they require. The global economy functions because at some point in time a traditional barter system where useful physical items were exchanged was replaced by the current system involving exchange of special artisan linen papers or conveniently portable metallic disks emblazoned with cartoon images celebrating historical events or personalities.

Anyway, this was a good read and I enjoyed watching the transaction ledger complexity increase to account for real-world situations where there are more than two parties involved in a single transaction. Years ago when I was in high school we had a class that introduced us to checking and saving accounts and the goal of the class was to teach us how money moves through the system so that we could manage our own assets once we had real jobs and incomes. We had the introduction to the ledger book with one side handling credits and the other handling debits. It was all confusing at first but ended up being very useful.

A long time after this class I found myself working as an independent consultant paid a negotiable hourly rate. All of that earlier instruction came in very handy when I needed to split project time and classify and categorize all the transactions that helped me understand where all that cartoon cash came from and where it all went. My spouse is a CPA/Auditor so having her level of knowledge and experience close to hand was also enormously useful in splitting everything so that the charts and graphs I assembled were most intuitive.

Thanks! I enjoyed reading this.

As a scientist, for me this is the line. This is the unacceptable face
of capitalism and the abject failure of "intellectual property".

I don't care that some people round here squirm when the C word is

more important than the rights of the few to make a profit.

viciously maligned worthy successor. We should do what we can

This shows the real problem is more getting sucked into online social groups rather than having constant communication with real life friends.

The toxic part of social media is the online personas and interactions with strangers, who are perceived as friends.

There is a balance of letting kids have messenger and play games online with friends, than letting them have social media accounts, and burrow into cesspools of online activities that a lot of these social sites are.

It is definitely easier to ignore when there are 100,000 comments than 100, this is correct. You really need to be in control of what you want to spend your time on these days, and replying to cancerous YouTube comments is not one of them generally. Let it be.
Thanks, that makes sense. Where can I find a Windows specific (or Linux specific)? I actually don't care about cross-platform. Desktop is dominated by Windows anyway.

QT is not bad and I used it for a small project. But it follows native so I'm not sure how to go back to native Win2000 style.

The top comment talking about Vista (2007), Crisis (last game 2011), Witcher (Last game 2015) and the Datsun name change (1986) is really something.
Sounds interesting. Let's say the software is a web backend. Can you deploy it like this with zero downtime? So that the new version starts, new traffic goes to it, and the old version handles its active requests to completion and then shuts off.
It's less about the color and more about the lack of feature parity. If one person joins it can downgrade the experience for everyone. This isn't the teenagers fault, they're just responding to product behavior.

I think the criteria for concern is clear, and it never was about if they personally like of the activity.

The concern is because they care about the person and
"being isolated and doom scrolling all day" is objectively destructive and self-sabotaging.

It's not a relativistic “different strokes for different folks“ and don't judge situation.

Being nonjudgemental might make sense if someone you care about is at least happy, not miserable and throwing their life away.

UofM popularized the use of Kerberos in academic settings. IIRC, Dug Song added support for Kerberos to SSH, and some other people in Honeyman's group (CITI) connected Kerberos to Andrew File System (AFS). But we'd have to ask honey to know for sure.
When I was in school, you'd just go the main office and ask the secretary. They had a phone that students could use (for free) when they missed the bus or had to reach their parents for something important.
There are three kinds of people in my experience:

1. bzip2 -1

2. bzip2 -9

3. What's bzip2?

A huge amount of time is spent optimizing for #3. Maybe instead we should offer descriptive commands that convey the goals. Say, "squash", "speedup", and "deflate", or some such.
Apparently this Finnish startup is based on the research reported in the paper "Ovalbumin production using Trichoderma reesei culture and low-carbon energy could mitigate the environmental impacts of chicken-egg-derived ovalbumin", published in Nature in 2021. The paper is paywalled, so I could not read it.

Fun fact from Wikipedia: "Trichoderma reesei isolate QM6a was originally isolated from the Solomon Islands during World War II because of its degradation of canvas and garments of the US army. All strains currently used in biotechnology and basic research were derived from this isolate."

EDIT:
I have found a preprint for the paywalled Nature article,

https://helda.helsinki.fi/bitstream/handle/10138/347276/Arti...

I suppose that after the publication of that research paper they have further improved the yield in protein of the Trichoderma culture, which has lead to their startup company.

While they have pursued the production of ovalbumin, the main protein of egg white, there are also other research groups who attempt to produce the main protein of milk whey, using other strains of the same fungus.
>Like why is social media inspiring us to such hostile nit picking on behaviour and ideals?

So I'd like to point out something I've not seen mentioned yet. That is what I call 'small down behavior', that is nit picking on those that don't fall into some small group that is acceptable.

It seems that social media has not caused any new behaviors, but instead given a new and expansive venue for the behavior to spread.

I think Baker would like - no, love - HN!

Right now an essay on him is sharing the front page with 2-axis light positioners (whatever the heck those are), cow magnets, secrets rooms in train stations, and a CLI switch to DOS that printed “I love sex” continually on the screen. So meta, you can’t make this up. This is why HN is so unique among all other places I frequent(ed) and why I love it.

Maybe he is a HN lurker.

The Fermata is his only book I’ve read, it was very interesting. You can see that has put a lot of thought into the idea of what you can do if you can stop time for everyone else.
I'm from Southern India and I recently came to Sonipat (The place featured in the article) and was surprised to see these e-rickshaws all over the place, but what surprised me was how lean the rikshaw was. It can utmost fit two adult passengers and so they zip past the traffic like a motorbike; I guess that's because they're rikshaws and not e-autos (tuk-tuk)[1]

These little e-rikshaws seems to be the main transportation mode for local people here. I saw different kinds of these lean e-rikshaws in New Delhi too.

I’m sure you’ve run down a lot of options already but in case you haven’t come across these (or to anyone else with similar issues):

> Can't buy Sudafed; pharmacies treat the request like you asked them for their virgin daughter.

If you have a Costco when you go into town, you can get 24 generic for about $3 and can buy 3 boxes at a time from the pharmacy. 6 if you are there with someone else on the card. I’ve never been given a funny look about it and stock up whenever our family seems like they might be getting sick. I’m not sure what the limit is beyond single visit, but for a family of 6 we’ve never had an issue having enough on hand.

> Can't buy anitbiotics at the feed stores no more; FDA took care of that.

JASE seems expensive, but then and others will give you prescriptions via telemedicine.

I used a teledoc during COVID to get the verboten prescription and it wasn’t any more expensive than a pharmacy clinic or urgent care.
Having lived in rural areas, suburban areas, and urban areas, I don't see there being much difference in walking between rural and suburban.

My guess is that it's a combination of rural areas being poorer (less access to healthy food and extra curricular activities) and the lack of societal pressure to be healthy that comes from living in a more isolated environment.
What would you charge them with?
I think there’s a thread of truth here that it’s always “the kids are doing detrimental things” (which is kind of their duty in a way, to rebel and learn the lines of society)

But equally valid argument is the general moral decline we’ve seen in society over the last 80 years or so. Is it from a lack of spirituality/higher power belief? Is it just a byproduct of the Information Age?

It’s not just kids doing dangerous things, then growing up to have functionally healthy lives, we’re now seeing enormous levels of reported meaninglessness, even in higher age brackets.

Dating has become a crap shoot for many, especially after college.

For guys, if you’re not above average in looks, job, or life situation, you don’t attract average women. You essentially attract nothing. The apps are more zero-sum, and don’t follow a bell curve. You need to go to bars, or join a community of sorts (which have also been in decline outside of metro areas)

For women who want to start a family relatively young (mid 20’s let’s say), many of the men available are still living at home (housing affordability), without a stable career (expensive degrees that don’t produce jobs), or honestly haven’t grown up.

There are pieces for sure that resemble past generations, but layered on top is a multi-generational ailment that is culminating into a very dangerous societal discontent.
In 2023, I would glue my self to the phone after reading book to our kid. But then our 5 year old would want to see what I am doing on my phone.

One day I was reading a reddit thread while she wanted to tell me something that happened in school. Someone told her her school lunch stinks because it is vegetarian and I brushed it aside.

That moment was a wake up call. I was addicted to a stupid reddit thread ignoring a real issue.

Now I don't use the phone around sleep time. We read books, talk about the day, get bored and tell imaginative stories but no phones.

The nice effect of that is I sleep earlier and have much better quality of sleep. Less baggy eyes.

Not using phone before sleep has increased quality of life significantly. I have longer attention spans during the day as well.

Infinite scroll is the new sugar addiction.
Come on yourself.

> Just look at everyone in this thread opting for letting their kids cave in to peer pressure and dodging responsibility for their upbringing

It’s entirely reasonable to read this as implying that a key issue is parental management of access to social media.

And it might even be reasonable to assume you don’t actually care about this topic at levels beyond the self-gratification that comes from assuming a posture of easy contempt, given that’s the majority of what you’re offering by weight.

I have a similar deploy.sh script for my go projects, with a slight twist:

I compile my Go projects to a binary on a github action, scp it to the server, ssh into it and restart - all done in my deploy.sh and the GHA itself only installs Go and deps (its cached) and then calls that deploy.sh script which sits right in the repo itself.

Super happy with it. Speaking as a previous DevOps guy that got sick of AWS complexities.
