I don’t really understand what you’re proposing. How would we fix things to “not run away”. If we’re not trying to value fix to be more objective, what guiding principle should we follow? On the wealth weighting, I’m a fan of a 100% inherit

This is a far more even response than I would have expected. I have many questions, especially about which “modern philosophies” are needed to help curb addictive behaviors at a state level. I think we’d both agree to the fact that most beh

You can inject keys into the running container by passing them as environment variables during the docker run command, ideally supplied via a secrets manager.

Immigrating into the US is notoriously difficult. There is a ton of demand. The US does not do even a mediocre job of prioritizing this demand, but it feels like the argument “I’m a normal person so I didn’t think about this” is rooted in l

This is cool. What’s the stack?

I think this basically sums up a lot of our relationship. Lots of arguments. Usually over small stuff but some big things. I ultimately didn’t feel I wanted to invest this much energy into making the relationship work, but she did and felt

Thank you so much for these words.

This is interesting. She would often admit that she was codependent and would forewarn that she knew she was being annoying because of that, but then there would be no actual progress/accountability on getting better. It would be this

I’m very sorry to hear that things have led down this path. I hope for nothing but the best for you, her, and your kids. Do you feel like, if you could go back, you would rather end things knowing there were this large of disagreements on t

Yeah great advice. We both really tried. We committed to working through things. We saw a couple’s therapist. We went through some pretty intense ups and downs on both our ends ranging from a death of a very close family member of hers to l

This is such a great distinction (teasing vs. built resentment). I think there was definitely mounting resentment from both ends (and I’m not a saint/the victim here). There were also arguments we’d have where both of us didn’t take th

For sure. I have friends who are in long term relationships and very happy and they bicker a lot. I have friends who never fight or raise their voices. Compatibility of sensitivity is a real thing.

Honest question - how many other people on HN are in a relationship this fiery? Are you mostly enjoying it or not enjoying it? Do you all believe this is an inevitability for most couples who have just been together for a long time? Context

It really depends on how mature your org and stacks are. This is generally how I would do it. 1-20 people - password manager (bitwarden, 1pass, etc.) 20-30+ people - SSO 50+ people - start assigning real roles to your SSO schema 1-5 service

That’s great context. And I’m very sorry. I’m an optimist, but I’m also a realist, and, yeah, the delta between getting close to making it over and over and having that high of an expectation and then nothing coming to much fruition after s

I am not going to try to change your outlook to be more positive, but you have to admit that it’s somewhat (tragically) amusing that we can find ourselves on a website full of people who are extremely technically capable (and highly intelli

I think it’s more appropriate to say that self-deception is a consequence of overfitting based on other primal instincts. Our #1 skill lies in pattern recognition and imitation. A lot of time, it’s faulty because it’s guided by fear/an

It’s a bit more ridiculous because Ubuntu (and most Linux distros) do not implement their own filesystem semantics from scratch. They’re using the Linux kernel which many distros build off of. So it’s more correct to say “Linux shows its fr

It seems like small multimodal LLMs have a killer use case to be bundled with browsers for accessibility. Eventually: * if an image doesn’t have alt text * you need to be read the page * you need to be described what’s happening in a video

Ah very interesting. Thanks for making that distinction! To me, I’m wondering at what critical mass of people should you need to provide a back door to the government? Is it 2? 3? 100? 1000? Are the number of people the right indicator here

This might be a dumb question, but I wonder what the lifespan of this battery is. When the zinc oxidizes, the electrode eventually becomes less effective as an anode right?

Totally agree. And this is why companies should really profile when hiring to attract the right people with the right risk profile given the stage of the company. Early on when we were just starting out (context as a founder), I used to thi

There are a bunch of good answers, but I wanted to succinctly say "practically, quite a bit". Here's a good little rabbit-hole example: > https://github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT/blob/master/
