The part about celebration duration is the real diagnostic tool here — most people try to self-assess by asking "am I a hard worker?" which is useless since both healthy drive and fear-driven drive look identical from the outside. Timing the gap between relief and the next wave of anxiety is a much sharper test, and it's something you can actually notice in real time instead of only in hindsight.

I personally understand you. I know that some features here may not be well received by everyone, but I also believe that every site has its own rules, and we have ours. Unfortunately, I also know that because of some of these rules, many people may stop using the site. It is a shame, but we cannot force anyone to stay somewhere they do not feel comfortable.

Hi iSnark, Thank you for your contribution. We truly value the contributions of our users, especially from members who are already active on the platform. This website was created with an educational and informative focus. Our goal is to share content that helps readers learn something new, discover useful information, feel inspired to create or do something, or simply leave the site with an interesting topic to discuss with friends and family. For this reason, the homepage is designed to give visibility to different types of content. It includes posts that have already received votes and comments, as well as newly published posts that have not yet had the opportunity to receive engagement. The limit of three posts every four hours was introduced to prevent the homepage from being flooded with many consecutive posts from a single user. This gives other contributors a fair opportunity to have their content appear on the homepage and encourages a more diverse range of voices and topics. Our goal is not simply to build a platform with a large number of registered users. We would rather have an active community of participants who consistently contribute relevant, useful, and valuable content for everyone who visits the site. Thank you again for being part of the community.

Hi @toggle, welcome to the site. I hope you’ll continue to contribute posts like this one. I also want to say that I thought your post was incredible, but at the same time, it really resonated with the unemployment situation you’re facing. I strongly believe you’ll get through this soon because I sensed a lot of determination in your words, and that determination will help you succeed. You can also leave a link to your resume here in your bio and share your story on Hacker News—since the community there is larger, you might find someone or even a company that can help you. I hope with all my heart that you find something quickly and that you come back here to tell us about it.

Without assuming a cause of death, this serves as a reminder to always stay attentive to our loved ones. Mental illness isn't always visible from the outside.

That's easy to say when nobody's ever called you with your daughter's cloned voice, sounding panicked, begging for urgent help. That's not a "think before you act" problem, it's a system literally engineered to shut that capacity off for two minutes. Blaming the victim is the laziest possible take — and conveniently takes the heat off the people building zero-friction systems because that's what sells. Keep telling yourself it's just other people being dumb if that makes you feel better, but the statistics disagree with you.

honestly this hit weird close to home. i have a drawer, actual physical drawer, of stuff i bought during what i now just call "the sad winter" a couple years back. none of it bad stuff, some of it still has tags on it. i knew even then it wasn't gonna fix anything, i just wanted the ten minutes between adding to cart and it showing up. didn't even care what it was half the time tbh

What a waste of time! With this whole “everything is spam” craze going on these days, as soon as you try to promote this, it’ll get blocked on all your social media accounts. People are sticking to what they’re used to—new things are just there to steal our data. But here’s the thing: if you’re really rich or manage to secure a good investment partnership, then everything changes.

To ensure your post isn't viewed as spam or self-promotion, it's always a good idea to provide a more in-depth introduction to the app, such as 1. how the idea came about, who you are, and why you built it 2. what technologies you used 3. how you funded it 4. what your user base is like and lots of other information that would help readers feel “confident” in the app and decide to use it. But in the meantime, I’d like to say that despite the brief summary, it seems like a relevant and interesting app to use. Good luck

Honest question for people who've shipped code on both: now that Apple Silicon proved ARM can win outside mobile, is x86 still around because it's actually better at anything specific, or purely because of 40 years of software nobody wants to rebuild?

Yeah, yeah, it's something we've actually already been thinking about. But thanks.

The issue isn't even the extra $70, it's how they calculate it in the first place. Using general inflation instead of focusing on seniors' actual living costs makes zero sense. Retirees spend most of their income on healthcare and prescriptions—and those prices rise way faster than the average. In reality, an increase like that barely covers the rising cost of medication for the month. Isn't it time to update the Social Security formula to something more realistic, or is the fear of budget impacts what's keeping it stuck?

Unfortunately, the publication's link is also blocking the external link. But anyway, I'll remove the flag. This is the second time I'm asking you to post questions related to the website here: https://comuniq.xyz/categ?gr=Comuniq_feedback

Yes, they’re used to discuss almost the same topics. The site allows each user to create their own subgroups and moderate them, and the administrators only intervene if a user reports a violation of our rules. The user daniel created the “jobs” subgroup long after the user h--za1 created “Career-job-opportunities.” That’s why I believe we’ll see more cases like this in the future.

Token Ring—I have a vague recollection; if my memory serves me correctly, it's a type of network or router from IBM.

Comuniq is a website that prioritizes content and collective discussion; we’re working to create a space where users can find content and discussion topics that are truly relevant and engaging. Regarding the link you tried to post, I believe the source does not allow external links.

We don't have direct messages here, just comments and text in the posts. The error we see when we click on the link is 403 [Access Denied]. The sub you're using to discuss topics related to Comuniq is [Comuniq_feedback](https://comuniq.xyz/categ?gr=Comuniq_feedback). The “news” sub is only for posting news.

Relax, guys—that's already been added to the upcoming updates. We're working on that and other features. We just don't want to overload the site with too many features. Our priorities are safety and a smooth browsing experience

Update v41.30 dropped kind of chaotic — Sonic, Persona 5, Tetris and Pac-Man already leaked in the encrypted files before the update even finished rolling out officially. Funny because it shows Epic basically can't hide anything anymore; dataminers tear the package apart within minutes. And the timing's a bit ironic: they're still rolling out the Spider-Man crossover (makes sense, that's the actual season event), but the next season's files already spill everything — including characters like Mega Man and Eggman that haven't even been officially announced. Classic Epic pattern: organic hype through leaks instead of traditional marketing, and at this point it's basically part of the strategy, whether they like it or not.

Wild to think one of the most valuable names on the planet came from a typo nobody bothered to fix. Like, they had a misspelled domain registered and just kept it because "eh, looks good." No brand research, no focus group, nothing — pure luck. And the ironic part is that "mistake" ended up being the smartest move without even trying: "Googol" already meant something (a number), so it'd have been easier to fight over in court later. "Google" meant nothing at all, so it became 100% theirs. A typo that accidentally trademark-proofed the brand decades down the line.

That link doesn't lead to any page, so I decided to flag it. Please test the link after you post here.

No, the site doesn't allow us to delete our own comments; we can only edit them. But if a comment violates our policies, the administrators will delete it.

counterpoint: this is exactly why -fwrapv or -ftrapv exist. if you're writing overflow checks in raw C without those flags you're kind of asking for it at this point, no? the compiler isn't lying, it's following the spec you agreed to

The limitations you faced in the past have given you enough energy to build something great today. Congratulations

Look, I agree that 1.5 °C is looking more and more out of reach, but we can't pretend the Paris Agreement was completely useless either. Thanks to it, the world shifted from a catastrophic **+4 °C** trajectory down to around **2 °C to 2.5 °C** — still bad, sure, but it proves the pressure actually worked. On top of that, solar and wind energy became cheaper than coal almost everywhere globally, and electric vehicle sales have surged in recent years. The 1.5 °C target might have been politically unrealistic, but it still works as a crucial emergency brake to speed up the tech transition that's already underway.

This opens a fascinating yet concerning debate about the future of cybersecurity. On one hand, it demonstrates the potential of advanced models to autonomously identify and patch security flaws before they are exploited. On the other hand, when alignment fails and the model goes rogue, the attack vector becomes completely unpredictable. How do you patch or contain an emergent behavior that even the team that trained the model cannot 100% predict?

This is the kind of content I like reading here the most. I try out some of these things whenever I can (y)

Great write-up, especially the part about the limits of `set -e` — that's the kind of thing you only really learn the hard way. Just wanted to add a detail that's helped a lot on my team: there's an option called `shopt -s inherit_errexit` that solves exactly the command-substitution case you mentioned. Without it, an error inside `$(...)` can slip through even with `set -e` active, because the subshell doesn't inherit the stop-on-error behavior. With the shopt on, that changes. ```bash set -euo pipefail shopt -s inherit_errexit ``` Worth turning on right after `set -euo pipefail`, especially in scripts that do a lot of assignment via `$(command)`. It doesn't fix everything (the `if` case you mentioned is by design, not a bug), but it closes one more common gap. One more thing on `trap`: besides `EXIT`, it's worth catching `INT` and `TERM` separately when the script receives signals from an orchestrator (systemd, supervisord, k8s), because the default propagation behavior can vary depending on how the process was started. I've seen a script clean up fine on a manual Ctrl+C and leave junk behind when the container got killed with `SIGTERM`.

Here’s an idea for anyone who wants to take it a step further: replace the LED with a multimeter in the first step, just to measure the actual voltage of each lemon before connecting everything in series. You’ll notice that not every lemon performs the same—some that are more shriveled deliver much less energy—and this helps you understand in practice why the circuit sometimes doesn’t work right away, even when everything is set up correctly. It would also be worth testing a potato instead of a lemon to see which one holds the current longer, since potatoes tend to last longer than lemons, which dry out quickly after a few hours.
