I see a lot of fixes here to bring back the productivity but those may only worsen the problem in the long run. Depending on e.g. Work/life balance lately what you (and your brain) really need is a break. Just accept it, take that break and it'll get better soon. If it doesn't then you could consider actively solving the problem in any of the ways other commenters have given.

Just keep in mind that you cannot keep sprinting forever.
I'm very much sympathetic to those who can't afford housing in the prime areas, but housing in prime land is not a human right.
I don't think it was setting up the dual boot that GP was saying was impractical, more having to constantly reboot to switch back & forth between OSes.
Size. A payload of one million characters should probably
be rejected without further analysis. As well as checking
the total size, it is good to check the sizes of the parts.

Another thing to check, that is often overlooked, is Quantity.

Every loop should have a limit. There should be no unbounded object allocation. Usually, it's not the big things that get you but the sheer number of small things.

You're betting on the technology demand to move to certain direction. To me it feels like investing in stocks, but instead of betting with your money you are betting with your time and brain cycles invested. What makes you so confident that this piece of technology will flourish compared to so many others?
Worth mentioning NUCs don't come with memory or storage.

Off-topic: Curious.. what are you making in Dart?

Personally I am in love with the language but worried about it not gaining enough traction and ending up abandoned because of it.. that's keeping me from using it for non-trivial side-projects.
Since the 1961 promulgation "Religiosorum institutio" (in English, "Careful Selection And Training Of Candidates For The States Of Perfection And Sacred Orders"), the ordination of homosexual priests has been forbidden in the Catholic Church.

I think "oversold" here hit a conflict between finance-analyst usage and outside-of-finance usage. In finance, overselling means that too many people have sold something (i.e. dumped their holdings), which depresses the price. But outside of finance, overselling most often means that the benefits of something have been sold too well (i.e. overhyped).

My biggest problem Wayland, is no screensharing. (i.e. casting on Chromecast, sharing screen on zoom).
Apparently this because of security. Is this possible to overcome? Is this something can fixed by simply having chromecast/zoom devs implement something? Or will it never be possible?
Someone over twitter shared "Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes " as a great game to play among peers. Still, I totally agree that trying different games is a great idea.
Escrow? Elance does that.
I knew someone who worked at the Les Schwab HQ. She said that as soon as it was seemly after he passed away, they moved the operation to Bend. I can imagine an interview -- "Look, we want to hire you from Stanford Business School to run this multimillion section of our company, but Les is 85 and as soon as he goes we PROMISE we are moving to Bend."

Note -- this may seem sort of horrible, but I am under the impression that Les was the sort of guy to be completely face forward, and could say "Look -- I know you all want to move to a town with a Starbucks, but you just have to wait until I die. And then please keep donating money to the local football team when I go."
I never said it fell apart, it has continued to grow and do very well. Cup half empty?
Forget "security questions" altogether. We've gone to a set of "insecurity questions". It makes people smile when they've forgotten their password.

"Do these jeans make me look fat?
"Why is everyone staring at me?"
"Is there something in my teeth?"
"Are they talking about me?"

... yes I jest, but that would be cute (and serve no practical purpose).
There were similar renderings of Conway's Game of Life in Wolfram's A New Kind of Science, but by way of 1D-slices through time and grayscaling the second axis. These have the famous class 4 property that Wolfram raves about, leading to the principle of computational equivalence and such godless sentences.
You didn't write a lot in this post about your business outside of the outsourcing experience, so my advise may be off but I am latching off "option D" in your post and have the following comment:

For any product that's a game the two biggest business risks are:

- Will people play and enjoy it. -
For long enough to at least feel they got their "money's worth" and recommend it to friends. In almost all cases, games most important distribution channel is word of mouth. If it's not fun enough for people to play it with friends it will not succeed. Which leads to the second point

- How will you distribute it -
Even if it's awesome, if you don't have a robust plan to get it in front of the right players and customers (may be the same person of not, btw) at the right time it will be a challenge to reach success.

So by all means, figure out if people like it NOW.
And also use it to identify and lock-down "channels to market" -- NOW.

It will take time. Use it to continue to evaluate the manufacturing bit (some really good ideas on this thread) in the most frugal way possible until you get to the quality you want. I'm sure it's doable.

I agree that many articles are a little too glowing on the anonymous aspect, but the level of anonymity you have with any system is proportional to your sophistication, so I don't see it as a problem inherent in bitcoin. See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Anonymity for more info on the anonymity of the current bitcoin implementation and system.

I assume they mean the private personal information of the _user_, which is different than the PII of the target.

Also I feel I must again correct this misconception that mere reporting of violations of the law is somehow equivalent to unauthorized meting out of punishment for lawbreaking. Vigilantism and reporting crimes are two different things.

Oh ok, I didn't know it was different. I thought it's just a bookmarking app. In any case, importing delicious bookmarks would be helpful to everyone involved.
It seems a bit crazy that they're shutting down services like delicious and especially Uproar (which is actually in a growth market!).

I'd be shocked if there aren't other tech companies interested in buying the tech, the userbase and the employees (who've just be made redundant presumably at some expense).

What's the justification to shareholders to shutting down as opposed to selling ?
It seems silly that they would just shut it down. Have they even tried to monetize it? I would pay ($50 a year) to continue to use Delicious. Maybe they can sell it?
I was thinking on that. You still need peripherals if you're using a Mac Mini, though that's no different than if you were using another desktop. Still though, if you don't use, or don't want to use a Mac as your daily driver, that's a dedicated machine just to build/publish an extension for a browser. IMO, there's a slightly stronger case for iOS apps, but requiring that for a browser extension is much harder to justify.
You did the right thing, in my opinion. I am in a cohort that has no hope of getting the vaccine before May... from where I’m sitting, it’s very frustrating seeing vaccine doses just sitting there, not being taken because of bureaucratic inefficiency. I’d infinitely rather the vaccines went to some of the “wrong” people than sit unused. In fairly short order, I think the main problem is going to be people refusing to take the vaccine, making it difficult to achieve herd immunity.
The problem is the assumption that deregulation causes rapid progress. Regulation can inhibit progress, and I think almost everybody would agree that there are some regulations that cause more harm than good. But deregulation does not imply enormous leaps forward. Antitrust regulations, for example, protect progress by helping prevent large companies from eating up all the competition and safely stagnating.
Thanks so much for your feedback! I actually just pushed an update to the homepage to make that tweak - you're right that it was a bit misleading.
I keep trying, and failing, to figure out who CSS is aimed at. It's not designers; no page designer ever thinks about layout the way CSS thinks about layout. It's not programmers: it would have a more coherent spec if it were aimed at implementers. It's obviously not novices.

I keep feeling like there's some point-of-view I should be wrapping my head around to grok CSS. But I have no idea whose POV that might be. It's certainly not mine.

Sovereign law isn't so easily waved away, unless you are seasteading.
Maybe I misread the OP, but I took their point to be that the feature "violates [...] user's privacy."

To say you agree, but it's OK because people pay you for it suggests that you don't really agree.
Same, tried Trisquel and it just worked, except some flash media doesn't play which actually increased my productivity. Coursera videos, youtube work but spending countless hours streaming some TV links won't happen anymore unless I manually install a nonfree flash plugin from repository outside Trisquel, which is enough of a time transactional cost that I haven't bothered
I agree RE: Duplicate/Save As…, although you can get Save As… back if you hold down the Option key. I don't remember when I last used Duplicate.
It is a valid point, but we're in 2015 now, and I'm sitting in the SF bay area (which is not supposed to be the place where it's hard to get new technologies going) and see not much change in the quality of access or pricing for years now. So "wait a few years more" may not be working as well as it could. And as for the prospect of city run network - I see how they run public transportation, it is a disaster. Why would I want to have the same disaster in internet access?
Since I can't reply to 'aaron-lebo" in the app I'm using:

I'm running Ubuntu and a set of kernel modules I can link later but they are the very same that were then altered for Arch ( which I also tried but had some problems with ). These have carried me from 13.04-14.04 and I'm hoping the 3.17 kernel will be included soon because these components are built right into that kernel version AFAIK.
...unless your body responds to a reduction in caloric intake by burning fewer calories.

If you employ a caloric restriction diet, you must do something to keep your metabolism from down-regulating, by whatever means that works for you. Otherwise, you will get stuck at a weight-loss plateau that is probably well above your goal weight, and further restricting calories from there might just worsen your situation.

You can't push on a string. Don't consume fewer calories than you burn; burn more calories than you consume. It's a fine hair to split, but be aware that they are not two independently controllable variables.
Interesting list. I expect I've never read a paper pre-1980s. I find older papers difficult going. Firstly because they are often scans from typewritten text and can be difficult to read, but more importantly because notation and nomenclature changes over time. Trying to work out if the old term is the same thing as the new term can take a surprisingly long time, particularly if the paper references other papers for its core definitions.
Buy a particular model for the form factor and any features you want or don't want. (I like tenkey-less without backlight)

But most important than anything is the switches. I have cherry MX greens, and I think they're great for typists.

http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Green

PS: One think you might not like about the Das Keyboard is that their USB models use multiple USB ports for n-key rollover and a USB hub and backlight and stuff like that, or at least the model a friend had did.
Weekly newsletter with remote jobs for developers. Most of the jobs are full-time, and may have country/time zone and language restrictions.
I'm not sure how dedicated prettier is to "one formatting to rule them all" since it's configurable per-project. Switching between different projects with different prettier configuration is very low friction.

Speaking for myself, I advocate "one formatting to rule them all" in terms of just taking defaults, and one of my arguments is that, if there's something universally wrong about a prettier default, then it should be changed universally. And if it isn't universally wrong, just go with the default.
It'll be interesting to see how this theory stands up. It seems like they're on the right path, tying together several things that seem to be problems.

The homeoviscous adaptation to dietary lipids (HADL) model explains controversies over saturated fat, cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease risk

https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article-abstract/113/2/277/610...

"Corresponding with the model, we suggest alternative contributing factors to the association between elevated LDL cholesterol concentrations and ASCVD, involving dietary factors beyond SFAs, such as an increased endotoxin load from diet–gut microbiome interactions and subsequent chronic low-grade inflammation that interferes with fine-tuned signaling pathways."
Wiewiorówski's advocacy for an eventual prohibition on targeted advertising may be more of a negotiating position than a realistic goal.

Agreed, I returned my 2018 Macbook. 2015 and older were excellent though, machines from 2012 are still running and still have high value. As you say, the problems should be fixed now and with M1 the value proposition is looking better than ever.
Pretty much sums up the American psyche.
There's potential for a really weird incentive here to find the most insatiable DMCA filers and figure out what their most popular hits are and play those for the most effective weaponization of takedowns, or possibly play multiple songs over some period of time, encompassing the most diverse collection of DMCA filers for the largest saturation you can hit.
We just "play" the song - so it's a spotify call. Ideally anything not aligned with the song meant to induce takedown and the inverted playing of it will still be maintained.

To clarify, we don't want to subtract the data from the feed, we can just nullify it near the microphone.

I think it would be harder to filter on an instagram feed directly, not sure how their api looks or if it's possible?
Anyone suggesting that this tactic can be stopped with copyright law is hilariously missing the point. The cops will just find a pro-cop artist and record label to play.

The problem here is much deeper.
In my opinion, you're denying the people of Rwanda their agency when you frame it like this.
Can you propose some other legitimate purpose for their actions? I don't regularly see police officers playing music on their cell phones during the course of their official duties, nor do I see any reason why they should.

Edit: To response to your edited comment, I don't think the problem with this conduct hinges on whether YouTube or other video-streaming services actually do flag them as copyright infringement and filter them. The problem is that the officers are attempting to trigger the sites' filtering algorithms. Whether or not they're successful, it's still a problem.
> top 20% of possible ways that civilisation could be.

This sort of an unmeasurable goal. I think we’re certainly in the top 20% of civilization from any time in history. Or top 20% ever attempted.

It’s hard to tell how good all possible civilizations can be.
I cannot understand the point of you switching back and forth between "he was already doxxed" and "well ok but actually the NYT should doxx him" in 25 separate threads on the topic.
Food is generally OK, the problem is with the packaging. A huge range of plastics are hormones disruptors and should not be permitted to be in contact with food or liquid meant for human consumption.

An example - BPA is used to coat the inside of tin cans. If you use a metal spoon to scrape out the contents, you're scraping away that lining into your food.

>I could never use an alternative shell full time because I need to stay good at bash.

Getting "good at bash" is a game with diminishing returns.

It's so random and non-orthogonal (bash itself, and the flags of common UNIX cli utils) as a scripting language, that you always end up having to look this or that, and with crazy corner cases you've missed.
There was a concerted effort from government officials,
bandwagon-joining academics (aided by journalists) in the West to downplay masking, and to ridicule and shame those who wore masks. Here is a Time article from eary March where it was described as the equivalent of “knocking on wood”. https://time.com/5794729/coronavirus-face-masks/

I am fairly certain that the US government reversed itself on masks before the WHO did (Wikipedia says WHO changed its advice in June).

Did it have to do with a lack of evidence, or was it a cynical ploy to preserve mask stocks for medical professionals? I recall it being the latter: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/17/opinion/coronavirus-face-...
I think the overall meat thing is not necessarily dietary science related. That seems to stem more from environmental or ethical concerns.

It seems to be more of a red meat and saturated fat issue. I don't know about who might be behind it, or if it is even misguided.
What is the hypothesis here? Do these earplugs have some hidden power compared to other Bluetooth headsets that gives people tinnitus?
> How many degrees of separation do you need in order to be safe from the mob?

There is no limit really. If you're targeted for cancellation, they'll dig up and use anything as evidence. Thankfully people seem to be wising up to these tactics and they're losing power as a result.

Yes the arrow is slow, because the bows are not heavy, probably in the 25-30 lbs range.
“I began wearing prototypes myself to test comfort and usability, and to ask for feedback,” said Rivera. “Folks immediately associated the bracelet design with a watch and asked, where’s the watch? We decided to make a timepiece an optional part of the Tread.”

We (The US) already have laws that hold you accountable for being criminally negligent if you do a thing and cause harm to person or property. Do you really need additional protections from keeping yourself out of trouble? Is the only reason you don't do a thing is because you might be breaking the law?
Terrible article. Uber and Zenefits only relate to it tangentially and the Kenyan Slum isn't mentioned at all (it's Haitian). It's mostly a badly veiled advertisement for the company whose CEO wrote this nonsense.
As a programmer whose Blub language is Python, I always feel a bit guilty when I try and squeeze an understanding of JavaScript into my Python-based mental framework. It makes me feel a lot better to see even the creator of JavaScript quoting the Zen of Python.

For teams, we're heavily using the Open Source version of Etherpad. Not a wiki, but a great collaborative text editor.
And can you guess where that £100,000 will come from? That's right, an increase in council tax.
The main thing keeping me off AppEngine for my current project is that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to populate the blobStore. If there was an easy way to upload 10000 binary blobs I'd switch tomorrow.

Fact-checking is misleading, because it makes some people believe that facts are completely objective and you can verify or disprove them without any bias. In the end, most fact-checking outlets just repeat propaganda of the political parties they align with.
A century ago those people were in the closet so nobody knew and those that did didn't say anything.

People had to come out in order for their acceptance to be possible. It's really easy to justify not caring when the group you don't care about seems other. When they're people you know it's much harder to justify not caring.
This is not common practice. And it's pretty uncool. Note that while I am an angel investor (...) I am in Silicon Valley, where things can be different from the rest of the world.

Out of the 40ish startups I have invested in, the half-dozen or so VCs I am in an LP in, and the hundreds more startups I merely interact with, I've never heard of anything like this happen.

You giving them common out of your own pocket is also probably difficult from a tax POV. Consult an accountant/lawyer/etc.

On the other hand, the losses from the previous startup do give them a tax offset, so it's not like they walked away entirely empty-handed.

You can make an advisory board and grant them some options that vest over time if they are going to contribute (as they think they are going to, if they think they want to keep the relationship open.) But these guys sound uncool and I would just avoid them in the future.

My gut says, however, no.

(BTW this is where a good lawyer comes in - they can tell you what is normal in the industry.)
