I'm going to disagee with you there. You are seeing the world through a different lens driven by constant churn in the tech industry.

In many industries if you are just a drone that does their job reasonably well, will work overtime every now and then when it's available and have shown willingness and ability to improve, management will make sure you stay at that company. Your only actual fear would be that the company fails but then very likely you are on the shortlist for that same management at their new company.

Assume incompetence not malice, people aren't out to get you and trying to get the worst for you, they want to best for themselves and if you make it so that making you comfortable also makes them comfortable then you aren't at risk.

Regarding food... Buy what's on the shelf, nobody needs their special kale only diet or whatever is the trend. What the parent was saying is follow general food guidelines, avoid excessive meat, keep portion sizes reasonable, half you plate should be vegetables etc...

Same with the index fund thing, if you start investing with a reputable investor when your are in your 20s even if it doesn't beat the market you will retire comfortably.

You don't need to minmax life. You can hit autopilot and just go where life takes you while just make small course corrections every now and then and you will be fine. You wont have a great life or a bad one. You will fall close to the middle of the bell curve and that's actually good enough.

Focus on the things that are important, spend time with your loved ones etc.

Trust me I understand your point of view as well, that's me I can't be vanilla with these things, my mental health doesn't allow it. I need to shoot for the moon and do it as efficiently as possible. I just know that's not necessary.
Fantastic! This solves my big fear around getting used to such a tool.

My work primarily involves 'nix boxes that have to be very locked down and will be left in a place basically untouched for 20 years after I finish setting them up. Getting a reliable new binary of any sort on them is quite difficult, not least because we need to plan for things other far future people might be able to discover for troubleshooting down the line.

For me, Intel needs to buy Oxide or Sidero.

And commit to building a simple, powerful, enthusiast/startup friendly platform for running mini-clouds at home/on-premise. And start bringing tech like Optane, Tofino etc to developers so they can get better price/performance than the soon to be ARM dominated cloud.
Iran are shia and the rebels are sunni - two groups that hate each other and have been battling each other throughout the middle east.

Hmm, at least Assad’s secret police would leave you with the belief you’d be going to heaven/martyring yourself.
Also a few more statements from the "terrorists":

- It is strictly forbidden to fire bullets into the air under any circumstances, as it causes panic among civilians and endangers the lives of the innocent.

- It is forbidden to tamper with public institutions and property, as they are the rightful property of the people. It is our duty to protect and preserve them and help develop them.

- It is forbidden to encroach upon or harm any private property in any form
I was talking about city centers. Good luck finding a house with a yard from city center of a major European city, for a price that you can afford without being a millionaire.

Just like in America, living in a proper house in Europe does usually mean moving further away from city center into suburbs. The main difference is that those suburbs do have better public transportation.
Wasn't a large part of that caused by the de-Baathification of the government and security forces?

Very good discussion in a sibling comment. From my side, surely the lab leak prior probability is not 0. It is possible so must have a positive probability.

Not is it, a priori, a crackpot theory. The crackpot bit is when people are totally convinced of it with no or shaky evidence.
Can't put a price on the lulz
It’s equally cynical to presume that it won’t. People can only tolerate so much violence and this civil war has been propped up by external powers for over a decade.

Regardless, HTS isn’t the group that captured the capital so I don’t know why everyone is so focused on them right now. They got the ball rolling with their November 27 offensive and captured Hama but they’re still restricted to the northern provinces.

While on the topic of ISIS, I don’t think it’s the rebels we should be worried about. ISIS would never have become what it was without the former Ba’athist officers from Saddam’s regime building out its command structure and military. It’s the disaffected Ba’athists from Assad’s regime that we should be worried about.
Well his son made hundreds of millions / billions from selling directly oil from ISIS held lands, since nobody else wanted to deal with them. His daughter personally built and supervised hospitals in Turkey specifically built to treat wounded ISIS fighters. These are verified public informations, although they obviously deny it.

Erdogan is as much pro-ISIS as one can be. Maybe just a political game during complex conflict to fight against US-supported kurds at all costs, maybe not. We don't know.

Ah, so you claim they were a american controlled group?

While the US spend lots of effort on hunting them?

Keeping the flames high, to play firemen?

I don't think that there was a need of more flames, for that theory to be plausible. Occasionally some western weapons likely did found their ways towards IS as well, but they rather captured the bulk of it. Or do you have other sources?
> a literal terrorist group who committed a terrorist attack killing innocent civilians in Turkey just over one month ago!

Not condoning the attack, but it's also not that black and white. It was an attack on a defense contractor.
Random aside: after reading this article I for one am grateful to know that the site is called Krebs On Security; my mushed up brain has thought since forever that it was in fact Krebson Security.
Maybe it is an instinct, an instinct in the same way we humans tend to not eat rotten meat or maggots in wounds. But humans have not been around for so long so I am not sure how deep such an instinct might be. Maybe it is a preference for "seafood".

Or they understand that we are dangerous to have as enemies. Either through recent observation or through some type of communication that has been passed down through the generations. It is not that long ago since we stoped killing killer whales; less than a hundred years, some of them might have been alive and still remember.

There are records of untrained killer whales hunting together with humans; so some of them certainly understand what we are capable of.

Features:

Customizable FAQ Pages: Create professional FAQ pages tailored to your needs.
Analytics and Insights: Track how your FAQ pages perform, including views and interactions.
Affordable Pricing: Multiple plans designed for startups and small businesses.
The idea came from noticing how frequently businesses struggle to share clear, consistent answers with their customers. I’d love feedback from the community!

Check it out: https://faqly.co
Would be happy to hear your thoughts or answer any questions.
The problem isn't the UI, the problem is that like all software, browsers have bugs, and a CVE in this part of the code base could have catastrophic consequences. Chromium and its derivatives are highly reviewed code bases, both by good and bad actors, and there's still a considerable list of CVEs every year.
> Seriously, are we going to shame people who can't afford to buy lots of storage??

It's not just storage, though - storage may be cheap but once your machine is at capacity (the physical space in laptops is an important constraint) you have to replace perfectly good hardware to accommodate absurdly space-hungry software (looking at you, Vivado).

Also, don't forget that not everyone has always-available, fast, reliable, cost-free internet. By rural standards my connection's very good, but 100gb would still tie it up for several hours, assuming I didn't need it for anything else in that time.

Digital wastefulness is a problem, and I do think we need to take it more seriously.

> Whichever index fund option in your 401k is least volatile.

That would be a govt bond fund or, worse, a money market fund. That is no different than telling retail investors to avoid equities, and only buy bonds. That is a terrible investment strategy. Literally: I have never seen an investment professional recommend such a portfolio for any one of working age.

Better advice would a broad based US/Europe equity index, e.g., S&P 500 or FTSE 100 or EuroSTOXX 600.
That's your daily reminder that HN is a bubble in a bubble
Browsing is mainly of exploration (e.g. reading) then data entry (which does require a keyboard but all on one page no scrolling) and much less repeatable tasks.

My hand is usually already on the mouse. Switching apps, scrolling text etc.

I started on PC-DOS and mainframes so was originally all keyboard, but having mouse made things much easier for me.

Now don't get me started on gestures - I can never remember any. - Which might be some of the reason to use mice I can't remember a lot of keyboard shortcuts let me have discoverable menus etc. Pit Smalltalk did not become mainstream.

Well, you haven't read it properly then:

[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Mohammad_al-Julani]

> When asked about al-Nusra's plans for a post-war Syria, al-Julani stated that after the war ended, all factions in the country would be consulted before anyone considered "establishing an Islamic state". He also mentioned that al-Nusra would not target the country's Alawite minority, despite their support for the Assad regime.

Idlib governance

> In response to the unrest, al-Julani made several concessions. He released hundreds of detainees from a previous summer's security operation, including his former deputy Abu Maria al-Qahtani, who had been arrested along with 300 others in a purge of his movement. He also promised local elections and increased employment opportunities for displaced persons, while warning protesters against what he termed treachery. [38]

Eaton Ellipse Pro is great.
Please don't use the word "liberal" to refer to something outside the US, because the concept of "liberal" only exist there.

This concept of neoMarxist sympathies of educated people(white collar workers) in urban areas and Ivy Leagues, that focus extremely on sex and wokeism, that concept only exist in the US.

In Europe "liberal" means he who follows economic liberalism, that is being part of the "right".

In Asia and Middle East is even weirder. Iran is probably the place of Earth that had more Empires in its History. Nationalism, ethnic identity and religion is way more important than anything else, specially on Sha's time. If you call communists people you are referring to Chinese land type of communism instead of industrial, very different from Europe or the US one.

I had a great time skiing on Iran back on the day.
Actively attacking civilian targets != Defending itself
Hi.
I always liked science so I went into physics and got a PhD. That led me to work in semiconductor manufacturing, then a national research organisation, some research for small private companies, and now I'm running a small super computer for researchers and helping them to use Linux and get their programs running. I have been able to pivot when needed because all of those fields have intersections and I could use skills and experience from one field in another. If your having problems deciding between fields then possibly shift to deciding based on future supervisors. Are there ones that stand out? Ask their previous students. I have never started a company but have run a small sole-trader business making some electronics. It went OK but not very profitable. One thing though in doing a startup - the younger your are, the less you have to lose :-)
Best wishes, I'm sure you will do well in anything you try :-)
Only if your standards are high. Instead of training charisma, you can lower your standards.
I partly agree, in that by drip feeding Ukraine supplies we have given Russia time to build up their production rates. And my earlier comment was disputing the idea that drip feeing the supplies was some kind of intentional strategy.

With regards to the broader claim that Russian production is outpacing that of the west. Yes, with artillery shells that's probably true, though we are continuing to ramp production. There aren't really any other areas though where a combination of western production + stock drawdowns couldn't supply Ukraine with greater quantities of material.
There's a difference between life forms that can survive a particular environment, and all of the phases of incremental steps towards forming the first life in such an environment.

There's nothing to do but speculate until proven otherwise, since we don't actually know what those steps exactly are. My personal suspicion is that we are more likely to find life in earth like conditions than anywhere else, though.
I abandoned the post halfway and was simply going to move on to something else, but then read this comment and went back to read the rest and give it a fair shot.

I found it incredibly boring, repetitive, and unoriginal. It’s just yet another flawed post in a long tail of posts about useless remembering which could make its point in one fifth the length. It’s a post for fans of Cal Newport who want to force themselves to be someone they’ll never be because they define their self worth by how productive they are.

Or, you know, relax and enjoy yourself for a little bit. Unless you’re preparing an essay on a piece of media, which almost no one is, it’s fine to just consume it, have some initial feelings, maybe verbally share them with a friend for a laugh or insightful discussion, and carry on. That can be more useful and enriching than “encoding” the information for later retrieval.

Yes, too much mindless consumption is bad for you. But the answer is not to take notes and reflect on anything that comes into your head.

I used to “encode” what I consumed. I have copious notes, insights, and ideas written down. I rarely look at them or remember they exist. Most have become uninteresting to me when I go back to them months or years later. The ones which are still interesting, I rarely act on. They’re clutter. Yet there are powerful insights I never wrote down but internalised without effort and that continue to be useful. Here’s one, which I found to be absolutely true for me:

“I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.”

If it's E2EE, can you explain how a new device is able to read the messages after logging in?

Not a lie, but not globally true. The price of milk and bread hasn't gone up because of extra people. Neither has the pice of gas. I know plenty of people who own their homes or have old bulletproof rental contracts that have felt the crunch of rising prices.

I finished college right at the beginning of the financial crisis. I can't overstate how bad of a state Portugal was in around 2010. There have been no jobs and no money for a long time. Since I can remember we have been the third world of the first world. Tourism and outside investment in real estate have been the one thing that's capitalised Portugal in a decade. There's been nothing else for decades.

Of course you're right that there have been economic losers from this recent large influx of people. The poorer segment especially has been betrayed by a government who opened the doors to functionally slave labour from Pakistan. There's no competing with half a million people who will pay to work if they're given a contract that allows them to stay in the EU. But that's not tourism's fault. We created our own reality.
Teletext had an instantaneous bitrate of 6.9Mbit, but it was only active for a few lines per frame during vertical blanking.

The continuous bandwidth of teletext was only 324 Kbit.

The main innovation of Sega Channel (and similar approaches from about the same time) was allocating a whole TV channel exclusively to data.
So, I won't talk about the vaccine part much, just to say those people don't understand autism at all, it isn't a sickness, just a different way of seeing/reacting to the world. One that need coping strategies early on. Well. I wasn't vaccinated until 6 (after almost dying from the whooping cough. Whooping cough is also my first and only childhood memory, and at least my adelphity got vaccinated after that). I am also the only autistic person of my whole family (25+ cousins, all vaccinated, my mother is the only one who didn't follow a medical career at first), so I guess I'm really unlucky.

I wanted to talk about DMSO. Shoot.

DMSO is a great molecule, but it has side-effects. It will give you gastric reflux (to my understanding this is pretty systematic), which will trash your oesophagus if you take it long term (my mother just got operated for this reason). My mother found out she was allergic to NSAIDs (it triggers her manic bipolarity), she take DMSO since like 2012 for everything, and just stopped taking it recently. She say she didn't noticed it before, but it was a bit like being under weed, albeit less strong: small memory gaps, weird concentration pattern (plus gastric reflux).

I have no doubt DMSO is better than the opioids it seems half of USians are prescribed (it's really rare to be given something stronger than NSAIDs here, even corticoids are rare, so it really seems like an exaggeration).

Please don't use it with children, I'm not anti-weed but I think we should avoid giving drugs that affect neurons until most of the brain is formed. If they're too young to drink, they're to young for DMSO.

I'm saying that because it's one of the only effective drug from the non-mainstream pharmacy, and when compared to the usual placebo, works really well, so it has a tendency to be idolised in groups with this minority habitus. Avoid giving it to children.
GDP is a measure of economic output. If your economy doesn't produce much then it is very hard to sustain a high intensity war.
WebKit backend though, right?
There are all kinds of situations in which, if all your data fits into dynamic RAM, you don't have to give any other damn. (This is basically the bulk of the premise of technology like Python, for instance).

Nobody ever rebooted their machine because it became unusable due to their L1 or L2 cache thrashing.

You really have to care more about that particular hierarchy level transition, RAM to external storage, more than the others, because traditionally the transition is very steep, like suddenly hitting a brick wall of slowness.

The higher levels hierarchies can be left to generic management mechanisms, like the hardware itself or compiler register allocations. The ram to storage transition is managed at run-time by software. Databases have to bypass the operating system version of that management, and provide their own, because it is so critical.
It’s great that Google is extending the support, and that GrapheneOS can benefit from it.

I bought a Pixel 4a specifically for installing GrapheneOS. I used it happily for almost 3 years, until EOL firmware support. The phone worked fine, but I wanted the reassurance of firmware security updates.

I was going to get a Pixel 6/7 (I forget which was available at the time) to use GrapheneOS again, but I was so annoyed at Google for only supporting firmware for 3 years, that I decided to switch to an iPhone SE.

Shortly after this, I believe the next Pixel came out with 5+ years support. I had some regret, but the iPhone SE is OK, and I didn’t want to buy a new phone just for the sake of it.

I will probably switch back to GrapheneOS for my next phone, as it really is a great mobile OS. Hopefully the project is still going strong by then.
It would allow for identification of intent and reasoning over that.

Is it aggregate, the people adding to the same with no overlaping elements.

Is it a overlapping set, n-people contributing the same

Is it a xor set where two people want to split up a implementation and go into different directions ?

If one deletes and creates a new as replacement , the other continues to work on the element, that could auto map to an intent above.

And if you know that you can provide much more resonable merges.
