Re:Google's Family link can be abused to lock down compromised accounts

Also, is there a CVE assigned to this exploit already?

This is insane. I was reading up on the "advanced protection program", cited as the only mitigation currently available to prevent this exploit.
But it's got some enormous downsides! The only apps you're allowed to install are signed ones from the Play store; you have to use a passkey for all things Google; and that Chrome is the only supported browser for logging in.
Google, fix this attack vector!

I think this is AI generated; the Lean snippet on page 33 is full of LaTeX syntax.

Nota bene: their Github link 404s, and there are goofy LaTeX mixed in with their Lean snippets.

After reading through "A T Cell Army against SARS-CoV-2" and not getting much out of it, I started looking for a primer on how viruses infect cells. But without a strong background in biology, even that was somewhat out of reach for me. This article started to frame the idea of DNA as a DSL for generating molecules, which put me on better footing.

I think they're saying that you may have thrown out the baby with the bathwater. If your conclusion horrifies you—doesn't resemble what you were optimizing for—you may be optimizing for the wrong thing. Rationality isn't broken; revisit your optimization criteria. See the paperclip optimizer, the smiles optimizer, etc.

Internet access, especially to Wikipedia, did wonders for me whenever the lecture turned to something I was already familiar with. That alone kept me from getting distracted and frustrated as I would in classes whose professors prohibited laptop use.

At the risk of sounding obvious: you've identified that your job is the source of the stress and unhappiness. That's certainly not an irrelevant factor, as my parent and sibling comments claim. Make the sale, maybe move to a cheaper apartment, use your newfoud buckets of money to work in your community garden for a month. See how you feel then.

Re:Git Town – A high-level command line interface for Git

I'm not sure this is trying to prevent anyone from needing to learn the actual git commands. (Note that the abstraction intentionally leaks by showing the commands that are run.) It appears to be more of a tool for experienced users on centralized teams to save some time typing.

As an experienced git user, I'd use this on projects with a central repo, if only because it saves some typing.

Re:Tell HN: Political Detox Week – No politics on HN for one week

This is a mistake. The sort of problems we have in the US can't be solved with censorship and earplugs. If anything, we need more conversation, not less.
Ditto to the many commenters who point out that nothing is apolitical and that such censorship would be subjective anyway.
Don't do this.
