The article you linked is ridiculous…

> There’s also the differences in how children are brought up in America and in France. For example, French parents have set strict limits from the time they are born. The children are raised with limits such as not being allowed to snack whenever they want. They have four strict meal times and they know those are the times they are allowed to eat, not before. While they love their children just as much as others do, they do believe in forced strict limitations to help the children grow up in guidelines and feel safe and secure.

Really?

But OP claims to be committing nonviolent drug crimes. Depending on your philosophy you may feel you’re not doing anything morally wrong by selling drugs. Upholding the law for the laws’ sake isn’t obviously good.

It’s admirable that you’re father did what he did without resorting to becoming a negative influence on society, but I bet most people on HN have broken the law in some small way many times in their life. Breaking the law and hurting others are not always the same.

I highly recommend this YouTube series called the Birth of Civilization for anyone interested in ancient pre-history!

Super thoughtful and well researched.

As a sysadmin you’re probably very tech savvy, so Emacs should be very usable for you without ever learning elisp.

This video by a self professed non-programmer about using Emacs in the broader Unix ecosystem might pique your interest enough to give it a try:

How much of a usability win is making things “real time?” Submitting a form and having the server do validation and render the error messages can feel just as fast. Plus, if you use the correct HTML input types the browser will handle the most obvious validation without any JS.

You have to do validation on the server anyway. Why do it again on the front end?

Is that sarcasm? It’s not hard to implement a searchable dropdown in vanilla JS.

ctrlpaint.com is a great resource. The tutorials are comprehensive and free.

I also highly recommend the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.

Unfortunately there’s no hacks to learn draining overnight. Deliberate practice is the only way. Doodling in the margins of your notes during boring meetings is a great way to get reps in.

The US government could make a centralized digital currency without a blockchain. That makes way more sense to me than dealing with all the overhead associated with a trustless decentralized ledger.

There's no denying that Dark Souls is hard. It's also fair. It's 100% your fault every time you die, and you know what you did wrong.

> Washington deployed the ShakeAlert earthquake early warning system just yesterday

Do you know how the early warning system works? How much advance warning do they expect to give?

Post and pier foundations aren't ideal for earthquakes. In general though, wood performs better than masonry as a quake resistant building material because it can flex.

I use colemak on the Kinesis Advantage II and I love it.

Keeping the C-c/x/v keys the same is great on a split layout, assuming you're right handed. I avoid using the mouse as much as possible, but when I do use it there's a good chance I'm copying or pasting something. With Dvorak you can't use those keys with your hand on the mouse.

I'd love to see stats on how many of the people involved in these incidents end up leading reformed lives.

The mental health team diffuses the situation and no one gets arrested. That's great on paper, but what happens tomorrow?

If someone is smashing car windows to pay for their drug addiction, what's stopping them from doing it again tomorrow?

Would this apply to iMessage?

I'd go with 1080p if you're planning to run Linux. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23107338

I regret getting the WQHD (2560x1440) screen on my X1 Carbon 7th gen. Text is too small to read without scaling, and I haven't figured out how to configure consistent scaling behavior across Wayland and XWayland applications.

FHD is plenty on a 14" screen.
