Regarding low-income as a result of adverse childhood experiences. This ignores the fact that some jobs just don't pay a lot, and even if everyone had super-duper childhood, some portion of those people would still end up working minimum-wage jobs - because somebody has to do them. The way our economy works is just stack-ranking, but at a nation-wide scale. In consequence, if you help one teenager, you'll lift them further the bottom of the stack - at the expense of everyone else who they've surpassed thanks to your help. Another corollary is that, if we want people to not have low incomes, we need to change how our society functions (as say Scandinavians did it, with very high minimum wage), as helping individuals will not matter that much. The one effect helping individuals has is making them more efficient and better adjusted to the economy, so that maybe they'll be slightly better waiters or burger flippers, which produces slighly more GDP for the nation to spread via welfare state policies - but, for simplest jobs, that effect can't be huge.
I think it's similar to a well shared meme, or a self help book. Sometimes something (simple/banal(!)) just encapsulates the way a lot of people are thinking or feeling but haven't managed to verbalise. You read it and think "huh, that's very true," come back to HN and vote it up. The fact other people are doing the same is a nice justification that you're not alone in feeling that way, particularly in the midst of a crowd of high achievers.
I’ll stand by my comment on that point.

Sending a nude photo of a child to the child’s parents is absolutely beyond any form of rationality. Discuss the concern with the parents, inform the police, get them to verify that their little angel did in fact take nudes and send them around.

It’s literally forwarding CP. Let the authorities deal with this, if the parent wants to see their kids nudes then… well, I don’t really know what to say other than let the authorities deal with it. They can show them for verification purposes or something, without sending this image to any more devices than it needs to exist on.
Yeah, I agree. But it seems very exotic to my western mind because we're not used to public lying having any consequences.
Blender (https://www.blender.org/), by a wide margin, is my favourite piece of software. It's so apparent that the team behind it is passionate regarding what they are doing and highly skilled, as well. Each release brings both large and small improvements. What's more... it's open source.
I find good deals on manufacture online stores, so that would be helpful.

It started from using Amazon to research and then looking for alternative larger online stores to buy from when product+shipping more or less matched Amazon.

A couple of times I have found good deals direct from the manufacture that were not available elsewhere, so I make a point of checking there as well now.

It feels like companies are able to setup a competent online store more easily now (billing and logistics).

What does trump have to do with this? (rhetorical question)
Nobody with small children should be relying on lifeguards. If they're not old enough to swim and make good decisions, they need specialized attention. It's absolutely mindblowing to me how many parents I see at the pool strap some swimmies on their young child and just let them go while they're engrossed in their phone.

As at least one other poster has mentioned, let them fall in the pool while supervised and pull them out within a few seconds. Usually they gain a healthy fear of the water from that. Then take them in with you afterwards so they can see it's fun when it's with you. Also, starting swim lessons shortly after they can walk or run is a good idea.

I think what's new here is that they could now force Apple to use additional devices and software, not of Apple's choosing, to obtain the data for them.

They don't want to use big (especially US) cloud hosters.

Funnily enough, it also means most of those "buy hosted only from us" setups with hashicorp or redit are also dead in the water.

So it's build from scratch or fork or go for project that has clearer leadership on what it's for and isn't going to rug pull.

> The second most prolific fiction writer is Charles Hamilton, 1876-1961. It is basically impossible to count his books but he is known to have written more than 100 million words, which is the equivalent of 1,200 full length novels He also wrote about 5000 short stories.

Of course there will be outliers in any category, but even then... 100 million words divided by 60 years of activity (?) is 1.6 million words a year, every single year of that period. I don't think that's possible for just one man.

But ghostwriting is as old as writing.

If you care about portable SIMD and performance, you may be better served by Vector APIs in C# instead which has low-level but cross-platform abstractions stabilized since .NET 7 and an extensive guide to using those: https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/blob/69110bfdcf5590db1d32c...

CoreLib and many new libraries are using it heavily to match performance of manually intrinsified C++ code.
Sorry - I didn’t mean to come off as discouraging, that’s part of why I linked the BEAR paper!

I agree in relative terms, I’d think this cellular structure should have better compressive strength than a different structure made of the same material

I guess where I’m coming from is that FDM titanium (if you can realistically print that, I don’t know) isn’t going to have the same properties as SLM titanium, so the headline strength (in absolute terms) is probably not achievable in FDM Ti
Java doesn't have enough features?
> These include statements before super(…), which would give developers greater freedom in expressing constructor behavior – meaning string templates. This would make it easy to express strings that include values computed at run time – meaning scoped values. This would enable sharing of immutable data within and across threads; and implicitly declared classes and instance main methods.

I don't like the restriction on code before super. But I don't have a clue what they are referring to here. The code example doesn't use a template either.

PositiveBigInteger(long value) {
if (value <= 0)
new IllegalArgumentException("non-positive value");

First of all, for CF, it manages the authentication part of ssh with SSO support (personally I used github)

Actor model with preemption solves the entire thing like it was never a problem. Three axioms, one mechanism, puff, gone.

But for some strange reason, bona fide preemptive actors exist only in Erlang and derived languages (Elixir, Gleam, etc). All other actor model implementations are cooperative in some regard, which requires some thinking on blocking/nonblocking code in actors etc. Only Erlang abstracts it all away.

The IRS decided in 2002 that taxing air miles was too difficult: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/a-02-18.pdf , but I wonder if this might change in the future if airlines continue to shift towards programs that reward dollars spent rather than miles flown + ticket class.

Some countries have specific legislation to exclude air miles.

Absolutely spot-on regarding the cyclical nature of server-side techniques. These were once the backbone of high-performance web hosting and architecture. Remember Steve Souders’ “High Performance Websites”? It feels like a prophetic read today as it delved deep into what’s now being rediscovered.

Full stack development has indeed morphed into a daunting field. The complexity has soared with numerous frameworks and PaaS solutions, which, while they offer a lot for “free,” tend to obscure the foundational principles that once were essential knowledge. This shift might not be detrimental as it allows developers to specialize or concentrate on business logic. However, it does make it challenging for small teams or solo developers to build high-performance applications due to the breadth of skills required.

This democratization of technology might make the field more accessible, lowering the barriers to entry for newcomers. While some might view this perspective as elitist, I think it’s just being realistic about the skills and knowledge that defined a ‘good’ developer in the early 2000s compared to today.

I’m nostalgic for the 2000-2010 era too, not just for the technologies and paradigms we used, but for the spirit of exploration and understanding that pervaded our approaches to problems.
Alcohol causes 5.3% of deaths globally. While at an individual level alcohol is only unhealthy on average, as a society its impact is pretty significant. While some drugs are definitely worse at an individual level, access and criminality should mean they're less of an issue. If we're going by purely individual risk not taking into account other factors then 14-Methoxymetopon is 10,000 times stronger than fentanyl.

> It's so disappointing seeing how far the ideas in the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace got

I'm amazed that declaration was ever written to begin with.

Computers are the embodiment of subversion. They are world changing technology, the most important technology humanity has ever produced. Just think about it. You program a little math into a computer and suddenly it has the power to defeat judges, governments, militaries, three letter agencies. Imagine how pissed off these people must get while they watch their power and control eroded away by cryptography software. You write a little file sharing program and suddenly the computer starts wiping out entire industries, entire classes of economic activitiy and their associated business models. Computers make a total mockery of copyrighy laws and the feeble attempts at enforcing it in courts. Computers put the artificial in artificial scarcity.

Personally I'm some kind of "computer maximalist", I say society should change completely to fit into the new computerized reality. Society is not willing to just take that lying down though, it pushes back when you try to change it. So it's kind of amazing that we still have free computers at all. I'm not sure they actually realize how powerfully subversive computers are, how much of a threat they are to established powers. They'd push for making it illegal for computers to execute code not signed by the government if they understood that.

Instead we're experiencing some kind of slow politico-technological arms race. They make laws, people make software that works around the laws, they are forced to make harsher laws to maintain the same level of control, people work around that, repeat ad infinitum until the end game which is either an uncontrollable population or a totalitarian state.

I described the canonical front-running example in my first comment, as it gives most non-finance readers a quick overview of how HFTs work, without needing to describe regulations, strategies, NBBO, SIP, etc.

The specific strategy currently employed by HFTs is somewhat immaterial in the broader context of a discussion about front-running. For as long as a firm can legally front-run the market with any strategy, it can undermine the market and risklessly extract profits.
Tucked away deep in the filesystem I have some programs that I rarely execute, that do a few things well and many others not so well, that I keep polishing. This code is secret, kept for the joy of just rubbing it every now and then and looking at it, having a little feel for how coding could be if it was disconnected from the toil and economics of everyday life. Disconnected from other people.
Arguably, it doesn't. New features can be necessary to stay competitive, such as the Vector API to utilize vector instructions.
Is this claim backed up by evidence at all? There are a few countries that have decriminalized / legalized app drugs including heroin, and I don't believe there's been the effect you described.

Lots of people get hooked on illegal opiates like heroin because they start out prescribed legal painkillers, but the prescription runs out and they are forced to look elsewhere for relief. Pills are pricey, but horse is cheap. Happened to a friend of mine, so cheap legal opiates might actually deter much H usage.

Additionally because it's an illegal trade, lots of heroin deaths are actually fentanyl deaths (rip Prince). This definitely wouldn't happen if real heroin was cheap and available and sold in proportioned packages like alcohol.

As to cost, you can easily spend $100 for a night of drinking or more. Cost is not a deterrent for many when it comes to alcohol.
The title is almost certainly literally accurate.

I am with the High Court judge on this one. There was no procedural flaw in the process; it was purely the mistake of the lawyer. The system should not be blamed, when the lawyer could have acted carefully. Hundreds of divorces can proceed a day without issue; why is one fatal mistake by one lawyer suddenly cause to blame the system entirely?

And let's not be mistaken - the lawyer was negligent. Observe the grandstanding of the boss, however:

> Vardag said: 'The young lawyer who made the slip with the drop down menu on the new divorce portal is one of the best of the next generation. Not sloppy, not careless. Totally committed, extremely able. That young lawyer, our brilliant young lawyer, genuinely needs support to deal with the trauma of it all.

...Is all that posturing necessary? "...one of the best of the next generation", really? A "brilliant" lawyer making this sort of mistake, which could have been avoided had the lawyer actually paid attention?

If the junior was mistaken, there is no need for this sort of grandstanding. Negligence need not to be glossed over, or made as if it was not.
I mean, consider there are a swathe of things I've made for self-development, that aren't released to others since they're incomplete, less usable for others not sharing the same brain, not great quality, etc.

It would weigh on me from an empathetic standpoint to not improve upon them if being released to others, so they're not and that's fine. Much like an artist's practice sketches they're intended for one's own private goals only.

The article isn't really framed like that though and downplays the internet as an inherent audience. Improving something even for just a random other person to enjoy/find utility in isn't inherently attention or money chasing, it's just bridging a gap.

> Mercifully, you don't really start forming strong memories until you're about 3-4...

A popular misconception that needs to be challenged, and one that I fear encourages some non-negligible deal of neglect and abuse.

Children under 4 years old have surprisingly excellent memories, extending years back. But something happens around age 4, possibly a burst of neurogenesis, which scrambles most of whatever episodic or autobiographical memory is in the brain. Other forms of memory endure the transition just fine. Motor skills are obviously retained, as are other life-long skills like how to speak (and for the hyper-literate, how to read). Acquired fears certainly survive, and though they can be overcome... they're still around to actually have to be overcome. Early childhood trauma, and especially abuse, absolutely leave an imprint, even if the events themselves are no longer clearly recalled.
I’ve come to conclusion that it’s quite deep character trait. You can change your attitude to spending but it will be hard work. It won’t happen automatically when your life situation changes but you actually need to make a conscious decision one day and then retrain all your automatic reflexes and try to stay vigilant. Like getting fit or anger management or similar things where you try to control your behaviour with will power. Extremely hard.

It only launched in the UK a year ago, but is now the "UK's most-downloaded shopping app" according to The Times: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/money-mentor/consumer-rights/what...

Sure, not all of those downloads will have resulted in a purchase - but the same is true of Amazon.

The point is that Temu is takes the "masses of cheap crap" aspect of Amazon, and makes a virtue of it. It's effectively the Ryanair model - most people want cheap crap, so why bother with the last vestiges of Amazon-style customer service when you can ditch all that and be even cheaper and crappier?
You could.

You’d just be wrong. Because the title isn’t clickbait at all. It’s accurate.

If anything, most other media writers have correctly been even more harsh on it.

If you wanted to give Humane a ridiculous amount of leeway you could argue it’s a good concept but in Beta form but that’s not how they’re selling it to the general consumer. They’re charging them $700 and telling them it’s a consumer ready product.

By that standard it’s absolutely failed and if anything, the title could be far harsher.
