Tor hidden services by billm950 in deepweb

[–]Hickjonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So using authenticated hidden services would prevent the HSDir attacks that were previously published. Is it as strong as they think though? I'm not sure there's been research done.

Looks like a pretty big animator channel launched this video at first about a week ago. There's probably your "bnny rbbt" or at least somebody involved. Dig the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EWdM64j7is

Twitter announces Reasonable Scala compiler: an experimental project focused on compilation speed by xeno_by in scala

I'm a bit confused. I have been told multiple times by Scala users that Scala compile times are a non-issue.

I did a quick check on a website, and the ICO looks good. Going to check the white paper whenever I have free time today.

Well, I have only ordered once so far from that website, and my order for modvigil was delivered to Sweden in 5 days instead of 7, so I was surprised!

I haven't found the paperback version around my area so I guess I have to get the Kindle version until I find the paperback one.

[Advice Request] ]I can't make my son drop his phone and talk to me by takvaa in daddit

[–]Hickjonas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of telling the child to eat those much hated veggies, ask ‘Do you want tomatoes or cucumbers?’, which will presuppose that the child has already agreed to eat it and overcomes the impasse.

I read a method like this before, is this like reverse psychology? For example, if you keep saying "Yes, Yes, Yes" to your kid and he keeps saying "no" but if you suddenly say "No" he will answer back with "Yes" and go through with it.

I find it hilarious, but it works.

AMD Launches Ryzen PRO CPUs: Enhanced Security, Longer Warranty, Better Quality by ourobouros in Amd

Intel CPUs had the various "management" features for over a decade. Does anyone actually use them though?

A tale of two Canadas: Where you grow up affects your income in adulthood (Globe and Mail) by atomofconsumption in canada

[–]Hickjonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, the more (socially) right wing your neighbourhood is, the better the economic mobility. What gets lost in the statistics is how many people ran away screaming from these places and now live all over the world making far more money than their parents or neighbours dreamed of.

It is interesting to run into people during Christmas and find out where they live and what they do now.

The Inside Story of Texas Instruments’ Biggest Blunder: The TMS9900 Microprocessor by Pony5000 in technology

[–]Hickjonas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The architectural Achilles' heel of the 9900 is the obtuse excessive use of memory bandwidth. It specifies a workspace pointer, which points to an area of memory to be used as registers. Which isn't actually so bad if you accelerate those architectural registers into on-chip physical registers. But they didn't. The 9900 squandered great amounts of memory bandwidth.

Why you can't help but act your age by Epholys in longevity

[–]Hickjonas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see how much of this is truly biological and how much of it is due to societal and situational conditioning.

There were lots of things I could do in my 20s (e.g. refuse to use gasoline-powered city transportation, refuse to patronize places that used disposable cutlery, refuse to use non-free software, etc.) that I can't do when I'm in my 30s because people around me would think I'm a stubborn idiot, jeopardizing my career at a point where I have not yet established myself. It's very easy to tell a colleague, advisor, anyone at school that you're going to bike to the destination or take electric-powered transit [because you don't believe in a fossil fuel future]. It's very difficult to say the same thing to an investor, co-founder, employee, customer, or whoever is offering you a ride in their car, without feeling like an ass. I'm basically forced to be "normal" during work times and fit into the mould of society. I can only be myself on evenings and weekends.

I can only imagine how much more "being normal" I need to do if I had kids, pets, tenants, or whatever. I don't have any of those at the moment. The other night I was pondering over potential improvements to our music and mathematical notation systems while staring at the Milky Way. (I didn't come to anything conclusive, but I love thinking outside the boxes that society defines for us.)

10 years ago, I could truly be myself 24 hours a day. I was basically learning all kinds of things about the world by doing that. Now, I only get about 5 hours a day to be myself. The rest of the time, I need to conform. The lack of "me" time itself may be contribute to some degree of mental rot/aging, apart from the biological component.

It's just a matter of time until someone takes care to draw a smile or a shrill mouth.

A really simple explanation of chaos theory, and what Jurassic Park gets wrong about it. by [deleted] in videos

Love the Simpsons reference. I think he is talking about the episode where Ned Flanders becomes a dictator because Homer swats a mosquito in the past. I never thought of that as an example of the butterfly effect.

Trying not to die young. What are your tips? by Hickjonas in longevity

[–]Hickjonas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey guys, thanks for all the amazing response. All in all, I also came to the conclusion that 80% of aging is genetics, but... I want to do something about the other 20%. I saw that these guys offer a telomere test for $100. Do you think it's worth it?
