I've explored these emotions and behaviors with several therapists over the years and have developed a working theory.

The type of anxiety you mention stems from accumulated unprocessed negative emotions or traumas. These intense feelings — such as shame, guilt, dread, remorse, rage, helplessness, neediness, and hopelessness — often paralyze or disorient procrastinators, particularly when they are compelled to confront the present moment. These emotions typically reflect deep-seated issues with self-esteem and self-confidence, and an inability to face negative feelings squarely.

In my view, procrastination is essentially a high time-preference tradeoff, where escapism is favored over confronting immediate challenges and responsibilities. Common forms of escapism include excessive consumption of media, overworking, video gaming, substance abuse, emotional eating, casual sexual encounters, and excessive socializing. These activities provide temporary relief from stress but ultimately lose their effectiveness, causing the anxiety to resurface more intensely when the procrastinator becomes increasingly aware of their predicament.

This recurring cycle of avoidance and stress often leads procrastinators to act out—either by seeking constant validation through drama, shifting contexts frequently to keep their minds engaged with novelty, or by focusing on others instead of introspecting.

Despite knowing various organizational techniques and tools, lifelong procrastinators often struggle internally with facing reality, continuously deferring it to some future date. They appear constantly busy yet achieve little, mainly because they aim to divert attention from the mounting issues that they have sidelined

Nonsense. A completely attributed AST is the result of a full parse. The information in the AST is vastly richer than source.

> there is no universal tree type

Obviously. It should be understood that the idea is to have a standard AST API/format _per language_. As such it would be standard practice to provide this information as part of the parser/compiler library.

Sounds like your server keys are safe.
This exposed client keys, not server keys. The client keys are at risk only in a handful of specific scenarios - e.g., if used to connect to rogue or compromised servers, or used for signing outside SSH.

This is not exploitable by simply passively watching traffic, so even for client keys, if you're certain that they were used in a constrained way, you should be fine. The difficulty is knowing that for sure, so it's still prudent to rotate.
I really hope this works out.

Thanks. When Googling for that, it's finding a lot of general consolidation definitions. Throwing in terms like liquidity event, strike price adjustment, etc. didn't narrow it down to something that looked relatable.

Some of the dependencies/vendored code are GPL version 3 or later (see e.g. https://bitbucket.org/rileytestut/gba4ios/src/master/emu-ex-...). This license may require handing over signing keys in the iOS context (but I have not really analyzed the scope).

The project README says it's “distributed under the GNU GPLv2 license”, which isn't helpful, either. Under the usual reading, the GPLv2 is only compatible with the GPLv3 if the GPLv2 licensing declaration comes with the “or later” clause.

Of course I don't know if Apple even looked that far.

Great question, seems a bit difficult to gather a non-biased (if that exists) opinion online - be it on reddit or hackernews.

I am debating moving from another country to it to be closer to executives on my company (L1 possibly green card), but still unsure, I make very good money where I am and would make very good money in Bay Area. But my life is already pretty settled on a big tech company..

From reading online, doesn't look like the best place to raise a family, and costs are obscene even for high paid employees. Traffic also feels like would be a big negative impact on my life if I moved.

> People from different cultures are different. Not because of race, but because of cultural socialization, which persists for generations even in a new host country.

You've said that your wife's family has been in this country since before the American Revolution. So your kids aren't exclusively products of your (recent-immigrant) family's culture.

> In a democracy, those cultural differences will be reflected in the government and society of the new country.

That's how evolution works: Through the combined effects of variation — especially through mixing of genetic- and cultural traits via sexual reproduction — plus selection for that which provides an advantage in the relevant environment. (It's part of the Great Project of building a universe.)

> There are perfectly good reasons why the people in new country wouldn’t want to live with those changes.

Different people dislike a wide variety of changes. (We love novelty, we hate change.) Robert A. Heinlein said, "Never argue with the weather"; in the modern world, population migration falls into that category.

Footnote: I'm re-reading David Halberstam's book The Best and the Brightest, about the origins of American involvement in the Vietnam War — which was a subject of not a little personal interest to me and my generation back then. It's saddening to read again how U.S. policymakers' insistence on unrealistic premises — rejecting knowledgeable advice from experienced Asia hands — led to delusions that we could interfere in a colonial war on the cheap. Modern global migration presents similar opportunities for policy f*k-ups.
Staffing enough people for regular 8 hour work days with regular breaks should be the norm. At the lowest bar, any mistakes that happen on shifts longer than that should be held accountable to any management of the hospital or government agencies making policy, not the nurses and doctors. These are preventable situations, so the people creating the situation in which this occurs should be liable.
There's almost no complexity on the scheduling side done properly. Just pop work off the queues in priority order.

There are use cases for multiple latency tiers

1. At the lower end you have realtime-ish responses for when the chat is via SMS/WhatsApp/tickets/email, i.e. the social convention is that responses may be delayed by a few minutes or even 10-20 minutes and that's reasonable, but not by 24 hours.

2. At the high end you have a database with 200 million documents, a prompt that works, and you just want to submit all of them in one go as quickly as your client can work, then get the results as they get processed. There is no latency requirement whatsoever, but you'd prefer not to have to chunk things up and track batch IDs and such yourself. What you DO really want though is to have exactly-once submission, so you don't accidentally lose your connection half way through a batch upload and then end up paying for the same batch twice.

These are all basic problems of the type that occur all the time in the IT industry. The solutions are well known and mature. Your bank runs on message queues of various kinds. The tech really isn't that fancy.
The remnant rump of old media is dying, it needs government support and "UBI for artists and writers"...

Meanwhile new media is full of new names making money and pleasing audiences who are wondering why Old media got so stuffy and boring.

that's not worth figuring into the story because it might derail the narrative: that the concentration of power among the old media elite is bad and must be solved with further central control.

It is impossible for super-USB-C to carry that much power. The new 240V is at the limit of what USB-C can do and you are talking about order of magnitude difference.

First, the wire thickness needs to be like regular wires to carry enough current. Changing the wiring in the walls is the hardest thing. Second, the voltage needs to be like regular service to carry enough power over regular sized wires. Higher voltages, like 500V, are better since DC loses more energy over distance than AC. Third, the plug needs to be similar size to power plugs to not arc, and DC arcs worse than AC.

Is replacing everything worth the effort to increase efficiency by a little bit? You are optimizing for low-power DC devices at the expense of high-power AC appliances. The only way I can see DC power happening is in isolated community like the Moon or Mars.
Ok, but this is the point that I think we disagree; I would think that the "bad shuffle" is what we want? I think you would agree that grandmother spending her entire retirement on Google Play cards is a bad thing. Deliberately wasting their time guarantees that at least that scammer is not extracting money from some random person. I'm having trouble seeing how that's a bad thing; all these scambaiters are doing is kind of forcing the "bad shuffle".

I think I must be misunderstanding because it genuinely seems to be that you're suggesting that the best course of action is to just let people get scammed for hundreds of thousands of dollars until there is a systemic solution. A systemic solution can take years, maybe decades.
Yes, that agrees with the addiction theory of Johann Hari, who has a TED talk and a book[0]. Experiments with rats show a rat will quickly be addicted when the choice is only between water and an opiate. But give the rat something other than a stark lonely existence, like exercise and sexual partners and rat friends, and they hardly use the drug. Similarly, many US servicemen in Vietnam became addicted to heroin while in country, but almost all simply stopped heroin when they were back home around friends and family.

No, only NIST P-521 client keys used with PuTTY are affected. The server host key signature is computed by the server (most likely OpenSSH) which is unaffected.

> I think the author is confusing "well-spoken" for "nice."

There is at least some overlap with the meaning of "nice", though, as in "nice guy", where it refers to a kind of person who is not genuinely courteous or kind for the sake of another's good (the benefit for them being spiritual reward), but someone who does it with an ulterior motive, to get something (typically unspoken, as it is underhanded) in return. The "nice guy" is likewise a conman, because his whole dishonest performance is to ingratiate himself with someone, as if doing so entitles him to something in return (think of the "nice guy" who tries to please women in order to receive attention, affection, or sexual favors, and then either pouts and whines, or becomes nasty, either overtly or in passive aggressive ways, when he doesn't receive them).

Being "nice" is not the same as being "good". We should always be good, never nice.

> more often than others in practical work

Here is a thumbnail sketch of a reason for why they do:

1. Large structures tend to be build from smaller substructures. (E.g., a train is typically built of a number of cars, a 6-pack is built from 6 cans).

2. And large structures tend to be built from integral multiples of smaller substructures, because a fraction of a substructure is typically not as useful as a whole substructure. (e.g. a train car missing its wheels isn't as useful as an intact train car, and a partially drunk-up can of beer isn't nearly as desirable as a whole can of beer.)

3. The fundamental theorem of arithmetic says that every integer can be factored into prime numbers.

4. Small primes are more common factors of integers than large primes are. (e.g. you more often want twice of something than 37 times of something)

Ergo:

5. Most of the numbers involved in designing and building something are going to be divisible by 2 and 3--because the number of subsystems it contains will likely be multiples of 2 and 3. Prime factors of 5 and over are relatively rare.

6. Therefore, when you are measuring the larger system, it is handy to use units which are easily divisible by 2 and 3. (like a foot is 12 inches).

Its why donuts and eggs are sold by the dozen, and beer comes in 6-packs, and cases of 24. You are far more likely to divide up cans of beer or some donuts to a number of people which is divisible by 2 or 3, then by 5 or any higher prime factor.

There’s more than one way to implement spectral rendering, and thus multiple different trade offs you can make. Spectral in general is a trade for higher color & material accuracy at the cost of compute time.

All else being equal, if you carry a fixed-size power spectrum along with each ray that is more than 3 elements, instead of an rgb triple, then you really might have up to an n/3 perf. For example using 6 wavelength channels can be up to twice as slow as an rgb renderer. Whether you actually experience n/3 slowdown depends on how much time you spend shading, versus the time to trace the ray, i.e., traverse the BVH. Shading will be slowed down by spectral, but scene traversal won’t, so check Amdahl’s Law.

Problem is, all else is never equal. Spectral math comes with spectral materials that are more compute intensive, and fancier color sampling and integration utilities. Plus often additional color conversions for input and output.

Another way to implement spectral rendering is to carry only a single wavelength per ray path, like a photon does, and ensure the lights’ wavelengths are sampled adequately. This makes a single ray faster than an rgb ray, but it adds a new dimension to your integral, which means new/extra noise, and so takes longer to converge, probably more than 3x longer.

I think if you could honestly use Swift outside of Xcode it would already be a massive improvement. I know you "can", but you really can't. It's painful. The experience would have to be at least 1-to-1 in terms of developer experience. When I use cargo/rust-analyzer in vscode, I feel at home and empowered. When I try to write Swift in vscode, I feel handicapped

SwiftUI is an incredibly powerful paradigm. It feels like the future compared to most GUI programming today. It is also possibly the most easily seen and best-known value of Swift today. Enabling and empowering the community to create similar abstractions outside of Mac OS/iOS would go a long way to making the language more commonly used, but I understand that's a responsibility that doesn't fall squarely on the Swift team. Case in point, the adwaita-swift and the swift-everywhere-windows-interop projects. The first looks fine (although it is just a "Counter" sample project) but the latter looks DOA/unviable. As a dev, I wouldn't even consider the latter and adwaita has the disadvantage of not being cross platform

Look at the sheer number of tools, languages and frameworks trying to solve the modern day "write once, run anywhere" of declarative guis. Tauri/Dioxus, React Native, Flutter, iced-rs (my personal favorite)... the list goes on. There's a real need here that Swift could help solve without forcing people into JavaScript or Rust. The former being too browser-focused (for better or worse, but I argue worse) and the latter having too steep a learning curve

I feel like a lot of the Swift-outside-of-Apple effort has been on server/embedded work, but in those domains, why wouldn't I choose Python/Node+JS or C/C++/Rust which already have a strong foothold, respectively? That's a much harder battle to fight from an adoption perspective IMHO

that's utterly defeatist. if I pointed out that you're not going to live forever, so why not get it over with now, I'd be a total asshole.

I see you're in the "government is always incompetent" camp. If, instead, we treat it as fallible; imperfect but not always incompetent, there's a reasonable job that can be done. (yes, even by the government.)

ideally there would be more creative penalties than mere fines, and in this fantasy world of mine, there would be proper, non-monetary incentives for compliance.

ultimately, full divestment of CCP influence on TikTok is the goal. If Mark Zuckerberg owned TikTok we'd be back to regular hating on social media, instead of this extra geopolitical version.

I'm having a hard time telling from the article - are the ships' GPSes actually reporting that they're at the airport? Or is the disconnect happening somewhere between GPS and AIS (eg they're intentionally transmitting bad location data- it's been common-ish in the past for ships to do this when doing something naughty (blockade running or illegal fishing) and given what's going on in the region I can see the value of keeping your location obscure for safety
You can also try this trick which works for me

You place the palms of your hands on the sides of your head or over your ears and then drum/tap your fingers on the back of your head. After about 10-15 seconds, it will stop the ringing.
The article is to light on details to claim anything radical. The operating principal is the exact same principal as a Voith Schneider Propeller, but then with more actuators and less linkages. That too me could just as well be a cost saving thing. Especially as they compare it too "conventional shaftline", and not to a Voith Schneider (I think). Also Voith Schneider's are already available in a in an electric version (eVSP) for diesel-electric drives.

Perhaps this new Dynafin is much more efficient than an eVSP because better tuned individual control optimised by AI and industry 4.0 allows for much better control. But it is equally possible that there is exactly zero advantage to this system and all we read is marketing BS. Hefty improvement claims without details are usually BS in my experience
