Are you certain that you're not playing with words to arrive at a predetermined conclusion? What is this "I" to which you're referring and how can you demonstrate that "I" does not or cannot exist within systems such as these? Further, if you are to find something which qualifies as an "I" elsewhere, what makes that elsewhere fundamentally different and therefore capable of supporting and being an "I" and is that elsewhere such simply by definition or in and of itself? Further, if the language usage is indistinguishable from the language usage of an "I", is the difference of source meaningful? If so, why?
I agree. I really prefer Dendrite, their Go server, but development has slowed down lately. Also, because of the financial issues they have been having, I don't have a lot of hope that Dendrite will get a lot of attention. Maybe Conduit(https://conduit.rs) will become more viable instead of Dendrite. We really need a small efficient build with no moving parts, for the self hosters community.
This misses the conflict that gives this article meaning.

It's about an average self-published indie author who blew up in popularity (kind of like the author of 50 shades of gray). Pro writers don't understand why but the people/market have spoken.

It's intriguing because it means anyone can make it and write a bestseller and get rich. A lot of the article is describing her fancy house.

This prompted fame but also scrutiny and hate. Her book shows domestic violence as if it was OK. It would be fine if it remained niche with small number of readers but maybe not after it goes viral on TT and really popular among young Americans (girls presumably?). Presumably this perpetuates family dysfunction and mental trauma across generations. Then she additionally monetizes that book by selling themed nail polish and apparently even a coloring book for kids which naturally enrages some people.
You can feel it when you're doing what gives your life meaning. For me, I am at my best when using my skills and resources to serve my family and friends. It could be as simple as hosting a get-together or helping someone move.

Show HN: I curated 1900+ useful tools & built a directory with special features
Why another directory?

There are tons of online directories out there, however, almost each of them misses some important feature.

Some aren't properly categorized, or maintained, some miss details, some lack a good UI, some aren't comprehensive enough, and more.

That's why We've decided to build a new and advanced directory, WebCurate.

To go straight to the main aspect, here are the main features we've added so far, with some you may not find any other place:

- Quick tool peek: See what a tool does by hovering on its name.
- Features outline: See the outstanding features of any tool at a glance.
- Multi-language: Use WebCurate in your own language (like Spanish, French, or German).
- Night mode: Browse comfortably in the dark.
- Save your faves: Bookmark the tools you love for later.
- Tons of categories: Find what you need with over 200 categories.
- Huge collection: 1900+ awesome tools and resources.

Unlike many other directories, we don't want to leave WebCurate unmaintained and aside after some time. We're really working hard to expand this project way further and add many more new features.

Please check it out and let us know your sincere feedback and thoughts about it! It'll be super useful to us!
In her case, I would guess a lot of antibiotics since the article mentioned frequent ciprofloaxin treatments for UTIs.
> The longer something can stay a one-person project, the better! Nothing kills creativity, innovation, and velocity faster than having to make every decision by committee.

One person can get surprisingly far, but there's a limit beyond which no single human will scale. Getting to the v8 performance is IMHO such an example. You might be OK with a browser which has a noticeably subpar performance, but it will likely stifle mainstream adoption (which again, might be OK for you and that's fine).
We should all support this law, just with one addition:

All data shared by politicians, public servants and all of their family members within the EU has to be shared, analysed for corruption + stored forever.

If we are all considered pedophiles,
then all politicians are criminals.

Yes, a few people will be wrongly accused and we all loose our freedom.

HOWEVER, with every election we will get a small chance that the previous administration will get audited and corruption and other crimes will get uncovered.

Seems to be worth it.
> I'm a homeschool parent, and we wouldn't have it any other way for our family.
But one thing I've learned is that most homeschool parents are even worse than public school and the risk of permanently harming your child through neglect is dreadfully real.

This more or less sums of my feelings on the subject as well. A properly home schooled kid is likely to excel to incomparable levels to the same kid in the lowest-common-denominator setting the public schooling system as become. If taught correctly and intensely. Unfortunately home schooling tends to self-select for many parents who have the worst possible intentions.

When I was home schooled my parents were extremely actively in the local home schooling groups. There might have been exactly one other family there that were in it for the actual better/accelerated education vs. indoctrination and shielding kids from reality/greater society. The community is also absolutely rife full of outright child abuse excused and swept under the rug in the name of religiosity and minding your own business.

I have very mixed feelings on the subject. On one hand, my home schooling until 5th grade likely got my all the way through high school in terms of academics. On the other hand, it certainly put me so far behind my peers socially I never really caught up to this day. This wasn't due to lack of trying or effort on my parents - it was due to the socializing being with a very specific segment of the population.

Of course every group and area is wildly different. That's kind of the point of home schooling. If I had another kid I would consider it strongly, but with a whole heck of a lot of professional support. I wouldn't even remotely consider it without having either an unlimited amount of time or a very high budget to augment what I can not realistically teach effectively.
Thanks, in your instructions it's not clear where the `$ACCOUNT.json` file is coming from?

This is a clear case where being a publicly traded company leads to perverse outcome. Why this obsession with growth? Growth should be a side effect, not your primary goal. The primary goals should be: are you solving more problems than you cause? Are your customers and employees happy? Are you fiscally solvent? Everything else is a distraction. I feel like this is why Dell went private, to avoid the imperative for mindless growth.
Erlang / Elixir is almost above that:

- the shared-nothing structuring means it’s harder to corrupt external
- that processes can die at any moment is part of the culture
- the supervision tree means the most likely case for killing an other process is a parent killing a misbehaving child, which they can then handle as if the child had faulted
The article seems to hint at her previous gut flora being wiped out by broad-spectrum anti-biotics taken for her recurrent urinary tract infections, thus allowing the fungi in.
It doesn't seem like an especially important distinction. I've never understood why people always make such a big deal about it.

Mind to share that data? I think it would be hard to get quantitative data either way.
Any European court is hardly impartial given that the West stands behind the new nationalistic Ukrainian government.
There's so much waste in the world, that it is unbelievable.

However counterintuitively, I have stopped caring about waste, and have been more focused on the value. Waste you can always optimize later if you want to, value creation is the difficult part.

> AMD isn't using TSMC's latest node

Staying on an older node might ensure AMD the production capacity they need/want/expect. If they had aimed for the latest 3nm then they'd have get in line behind Apple and Nvidia. That would be my guess, why aim for 3nm, if you can't get fab time and you're still gaining a 15% speed increase.

Idk. The whole thing is a pretty contrived. If the haters have some real issue they can point to then maybe. But otherwise you find someone who looks at you and not the hate spewed and you are groovy.

Also how intense hatered we are talking about? Like "sneaks through your window while you are asleep and stabs you, then goes to prison smiling" level of hate? Even a few of that caliber is pretty life changing. Or more like the "writes mean things in the comment section when your name or face comes up" kind of hater? Because having a few thousand of those is just usual influencer situation.
You really need to check out Herd (Local) and Forge/Vapor (AWS) you'll never say hard to install again.

Start a new laravel project, use jetstream to setup an app with users, auth, 2FA and a dashboard. Create a new GitHub Repo, deploy my code to the new server through Forge.

Create a new user through the UI, Login with 2FA, view Dashboard.

Give me 30 minutes and I can setup a Load Balancer, multiple app and worker servers.

It’s obvious that there are misinformation campaigns coming from Russia and China directed at Americans and others. That people suddenly no longer believe in the efficacy of the polio vaccine and other nonsense is evidence of the power of disinformation campaigns. Since they are effective, easy to do, and cheap it’s clear that all major state actors will engage in such things.
Yeah reading this a couple decades out from my undergrad physics classes, my thought was "I remember learning all of this very painstakingly over multiple years and multiple different classes".

I'm sceptical about the idea of space debris removal. Sure, you can remove/recover a spaceship; but you can't practically remove trillions of pieces of hypersonic gravel.

So it seems to me that the fate of any spacefaring race is ironically to be confined to their own planet as a result of their very success in launching spacecraft.

Ironically, perhaps they were trying not to scrape the AI answers, avoiding violating its copyright. If only the AIs were so thoughtful.

Or, perhaps there was a more long-term intent. Knowing AIs hallucinate, not copy/pasting their answers prevents the hallucinations from becoming facts on the web.

I've been using http://guichaz.free.fr/gliv/ for a long time. I guess the fast hw-accelerated zooming/rotation was the hook. This one promises high-quality zooming using OpenCV, which to me sounds like it would not be hardware-accelerated.

Though my PC is now a lot faster than it was a decade (or more?) ago, so maybe it's not such a killer feature anymore. I'll this this one a shot, in particular as the page for GLiv says:

> Note that gliv-1.9.7 is probably the last release of GLiv. Other image viewers like Eye of GNOME are now sufficiently fast that I don’t use GLiv anymore. There will be new releases only if I receive bug reports.

At first try it seems it's more difficult with qimgv to zoom into a particular region that with GLiv :/, otherwise it seems fast and fine.

When I was young, I thought that being a man of my word meant that, as I'd given my employer my word that I would follow their security policy, I should follow it to the letter - for example, never holding the door open, even for a colleague I'd worked alongside for a long time.

And I thought that petty rulebreaking was a corrosive force, something that would snowball into bigger problems down the road. As a man of honour I would work precisely my contracted hours, never a minute less, I would consider it shameful if someone so much as stole a pen from the office. The rest of the team is heading to the pub at 4pm after a lengthy day of planning meetings? Sorry guys, I don't finish until 5:30pm.

Later in my career I chilled out a lot, and learned that the actual rules are often different (and a lot more nuanced) than the written rules. And that if you've worked with a guy for a decade you can, in fact, hold the door open for him and the sky won't fall down.
I thought I could pass the OSCP with only two weeks of study. I could not. I abandoned it for over a year, and took my time (almost 90 days) practicing and doing every lab/challenge, then I passed it and did quite good on it.

If "to your potential detriment" is your measure then tell me if you think police checking your documents is not "to your potential detriment", or speed/traffic camera is not "to your potential detriment", or waiting in line to board the bus, etc.

The only scenario where you don't need to accept things that are to your potential (and very real) detriment is if you don't live in society.

And no, what you described is not spying. Look up what it means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espionage.

> Things like this is the reason I don't work from home. Those little moments of contact.

I, too, miss this. However, 2 things that work against me currently - my company has _mandated_ in-office time, which was not the deal when I joined so is an active reason to NOT go, and I live 30 miles/1 hour away from it, as do many. One of my colleagues is 2.5 hours away, across a time zone.

So the office is extremely 'dead' in culture/atmosphere, providing the bare minimum to get work done, and is a glass-walled fishbowl in a shared office space with a GIANT (think, measured in meters/yards) TV display in the courtyard that we can see. Indeed, one can't NOT see it.

While I enjoy the time with the people there, there's zero "serendipity" of the place since most everyone goes by fiat, not choice, and spends most of their energy on trying to remove the constant distractions.

Words have meaning. Meaning is that which points to something besides itself. Zen is a finger pointing at the moon, do not mistake the finger for the moon.

What is the "meaning" of a mountain? What a silly question. The only reason the "meaning of life" seems coherent is because we wrap our very sense of existence in words.

Let go of words and definitions and just be. At rest in all that is.

I'm a little surprised there is no mention of flatulence in that article. The reddit post in aaron695's comment does bring it up, and intuitively I think it should be present.

I self-diagnosed (so yeah make of it what you will) auto-brewery syndrome in myself, after I had ingested unusually large amounts of live yeast - I had been making cider and drinking it a bit earlier then recommended - while the yeast was still very active, as I was playing around. Only symptom I noticed was flatulence after carb-heavy meals (didn't notice becoming tipsy, but I'm not very good at noticing that either ig). Like I literally farted once a minute for a day one time. However this only lasted a very short time, maybe a few days. I still had a very mild version of that like a month or two later (from memory so idk) and like a year or two later it was completely gone.
