Oh, for sure. It's already ramped up, month over month, just due to them napping less. I'm excited to see where it all takes us over the coming years. That said, a major factor in why I work full-time remote today is because I wanted to take control of my health and use my lunch hour to exercise. I don't plan on ever giving that up, but I know that's optimistic. I'd happily go back to S&S 6 days a week if that's where my life took me (again).
Are you saying sleep apnea the root cause of your depression?
Your relative sense of what's possible and proper contributes to the lack of impetus to enforce rules and have real consequences .

Cities on the East Coast, cities in Europe, Asia, conductors are always checking tickets, and in some cases have police powers. In New York, not having a ticket can get you arrested. Same in many other cities.

Here, on Caltrain, all they can do is make you get off at the next stop. You don't even have to show your ID if you don't want to. Tell me what that incentivizes for people cheating the system?
I think the whole business idea rests on Amazon knowing who you are and having access to your CC, to make theft hard.
Except that this is the replication.
Yes, I have full ONVIF camera coverage of my property with local storage and s3 as a backup. If something happens including theft of my NAS i am covered. I don’t want to be afraid. I do the best I can. I accept 20/20 hindsight.
11ty solves static site generation to me. What makes it unique is it's simplicity. Unlike others it doesn't work on a lot of conventions. It supports a bunch of template formats that can be nested. And that's pretty much all there is to it.
The term "treatment resistant depression" bothers me because, I think, a more accurate name would be "placebo resistant depression". Sorry to come off as frustrated; I'm like others in this thread with 10+ years of trying various therapies and antidepressants to end up feeling more, not less, hopeless.

David Burns does a good job explaining why antidepressants and psychotherapy don't typically work in his most recent podcast: https://feelinggood.com/2019/11/18/167-feeling-great-profess...

While David makes a good case against drugs and non-CBT therapy, I actually don't find his his fantastical anecdotes of the light-switch effectiveness of TEAM CBT therapy convincing either.
There's always been people writing simpler pages as plain HTML, no "rediscovering" needed.
The Now Habit really helped me let go of procrastination being my fault, and just seeing it as a systemic side effect of my approach. Brilliant book, on the order of GTD or the Effective Executive in terms of how true everything has held up over the years. Recommend reading it for anyone, any single tip from the book is likely to be worth your time.

However, the best for addressing procrastination for me was a coach. They really worked through things with me to give names to the bad habits I'd developed, and the tools to recognize emotions as they occurred. It reminds me a lot of the "noting" practice in meditation.

For example:

"foldering" - once, I decided that I needed to make folders and put all the documents I needed to create & review in various states (e.g. incubation, pre-review writing, published for review, reviewed, complete, etc). This is not effective, as what I needed to know was "what should I work on today" or "how aligned are my projects with the business". Instead I was making sure all my documents and folders were right. Now whenever I do this over-organization-as-avoidance, the word "foldering" occurs to me before I even notice I'm doing it.

One of the hardest things is that the best coaches come through recommendations from others. If you don't have a social or professional network where people have worked with coaches, it can become very hard to find a good one. Many friends according to their instagrams are "coaches" now who have never been near a stadium.
Same. I've cut back but I'll never stop. There are health benefits anyway.
Is anyone else bothered by how many of these articles are behind paywalls?
I've recently published a piece on my tricks for keeping focus and blocking away distractions at work https://pawelurbanek.com/mobile-internet-addiction-focus
Thanks for the feedback. You may find https://www.jeremyong.com/klein/geometry-potpourri/ more approachable but I admit I don't have finalized material I'm completely satisfied with showing yet :(

The math is definitely more easy to grok if you've seen/used Lie Algebra/Group formalisms before so that's another shortcoming, but the main thing GA gives us here is a "dual-quaternion slerp" which I literally could not find an implementation of anywhere! The formula for a quaternion slerp is actually not too hard to derive, but a dual-quaternion slerp is far more difficult. Part of the point of the post was that this was somewhat surprising to me (both that GA makes it approachable, and that dual-quaternion slerp implementations didn't exist in the wild).
We've changed it above.
I don't think blocking light is essential. Even so LCD for blocking and micro LEDs might work.
King Arthur flour (one of the big national brands) at Walmart in 5 pound bags. They probably have their own brand which is cheaper.
That's not true at all. Coronaviruses are 20% of common colds and were an active, non-niche field of research at least since I was in grad school for biochemistry back in the early aughts.
No major video conferencing setup has peer to peer video because that is an ‘innovation’ patented by VirnetX.
> Hotels cannot "capture" the market.

This happens all of the time. They frequently lobby cities to push out other short term rental options that they have difficulty competing with, which leads to regulatory capture.
Probably because once the cultured virus is taken away from the host and put into the vaccine, it can no longer reproduce inside the recipient of the vaccine (unless the recipient happens to express the VP30 gene, which had to be engineering into the monkey kidney cells anyway). So virus in the vaccine can cause only minimal damage because it can't reproduce.
The new regs put limits on how much money the non-accredited investors are allowed to invest.
It's a double edged sword. By crafting interfaces so simple anyone can use it, we forbid them to understand what's really happening. That's how people end up thinking the blue 'e' icon on the screen is Internet.
> 135 792 4680 is obvious

It's not obvious to me, could you explain?
You hit the right notes. We mostly read successful stories about U.S. entrepreneurs. I already refused their offer nicely and started to (try) charge money and I did (a little). My goal is not for receiving funding. Like you said we are trying to create "something people want". Actually problem is the offer. It was disappointment and its comes from biggest "startup accelerator" in my country.
Funny how big companies continually do this.

Only a few big companies avoid doing this which is why startups will thrive until they too become big slow companies.
I attended one of these programs (Startup Institute Boston, back when it was Boston Startup school and free) and I had more job offers than I knew what to do with coming out of the program. The most money I was offered was $80k. I think $100k for someone just out of bootcamp is very much the exception, but I believe it does happen.

It seems like you're confusing listed job requirements with actual hiring practices. They don't have that much to do with each other. I don't think every graduate of a developer bootcamp is necessarily qualified to go right into a full engineering role, but more than enough are to make it worth it to employers.
I encountered many students with such misconceptions of their math ability when I taught as a grad student for two years. With many of these, it turned out they had a strong talent for it, they just didn't have a good pre-college math education. I would tell those students that they possessed a good ability at it and encourage them to try pursuing a math-related career.

I don't know if I made a difference in that regard, but it appeared to help bolster their confidence in themselves a little. Educators should do more to reinforce their students and help improve their passion. The state of our K-12 education system is horrid overall here in the US.
Removing whole classes of software bugs, even if the cost were bearable, won't make a huge dent.

If you fix the software, the NSA will just backdoor the firmare/hardware (if they haven't already) and, even on an Android phone running AOSP, there are literally still millions of lines of proprietary, unaudited, closed-source code. Not to mention half dozen microprocessors containing circuitry you can't possible inspect. PCs are the same these days. Do you really expect these multi-billion $ industries to change? There's only a niche commercial interest for consumers of 'simple and well-understood'(read: secure) firmware.

And it's not like the hardware/consumer industry is sitting pretty as a lone miserable failure from a security sensitive standpoint. Then entire Internet stack from Ethernet and BGP up the way up to HTTP is complete and utter garbage. Our standards bodies (IETF, W3C etc) are failing to protect us and there's no sign of it getting better because the cost of starting over is simply too damn high.
Musk, Hawking, et al. are not talking about deep neural nets that do well on MNIST, but what will be possible 20-50 years down the road. There are very real concerns about AI and it's annoying to see them just dismissed by calling people "neo-luddites".

>But instead on focusing on doing the actual work that would get us to these machine 'thugs' or at least promoting more research in that direction most prefer to sit in their armchair and argue to the death the hypothetical T-1000

There has been more investment in AI in the last 5 years than in the 50 years before it. Even Musk invested millions to AI research.
If anyone is interested, I just wrote a simple guide on how to get your own DOS programs up and running with em-dosbox: https://csl.name/post/em-dosbox/

Em-dosbox and emscripten are really amazing projects. An emulator is cross-compiled to JavaScript, which is then JITed in your browser's js VM. It's not only amazing that it works, but also that it runs pretty well (compared to native dosbox, it's only a little bit slower on some programs).
> This is laughable to anyone who has ever worked on development of an ERP product.

I was going to write a very similar sentence in another reply.

This is just a case of people not having the slightest clue of what's involved with large enterprise financials. Google has never developed any system that even resembles that.

license is not an issue for me. we have bulk license at work. so i would prefer not to pay for the license. but in reality, doesnt really matter. but i do get your point
This is just as compelling an argument that you never write another resume. Or, to make the conclusion a little less doctrinaire, spend more time on networking and creating things that you can present to prospective employers to convince them to employ you beyond the confines of the 1-2 page resume that nobody reads anyhow.

"Doesn't everyone have an ego? Isn't it really hard to check it at the door?"

My thoughts exactly. The parent comment is the sort of "advice" that is easy to dispense and makes everyone feel good, but is fundamentally useless. These platitudes are the honeypot comments of online forums -- everyone votes for them because they "agree", but they might as well be voting up a picture of a kitten hanging from a tree branch. It's comforting to think that we're somehow above the base human need for recognition, but not very close to the truth.

For example, why is it okay for entertainers, actors and politicians to pursue fame, while programmers must toil in selfless obscurity? Are we supposed to be martyrs?

Also, not for nothing, but when the guy with the top comment score on HN -- the guy who wore a t-shirt bearing his HN login name at Startup School -- tells you to abandon your ego, well...I'm no english major, but there's a certain situational irony there.
W3C recommends the pixel to be interpreted as about 4E-4 radians[1]. Personally I think that's a stupid idea, and I don't think anyone has implemented it, but I would support using such a measure for device resolutions.

"When one group did a survey a few years ago, they discovered that the most popular car owned by millionaires was a Ford. Why? Simple: the people who still had and grew their money didn't waste it on luxuries to show off. All showing off does is make others spend more effort trying to scam you. "

I suspect a large part of the reason is that these millionaires are, for political reasons, whether in politics or not, showing that they buy American. Or, they need a truck for their small business.
Actually most people don't find it much fun, and don't use these apps. TC, NY Times & the rest of the hypeosphere are those pretending these products have any impact.
Why bring politics into this? Most of my economically clueless friends are liberals who only watch CNN and read NYT. Economic Ignorance is widespread and bipartisan.
Surprised Dell is so enthusiastic as some of the claims aren't quite the whole truth... Like stating that openoffice is not available in windows, or that MS Office formats are fully supported.

Regardless, I get more and more respect for Dell as they continue to embrace MS alternatives.
Wgj is correct, and I meant the DDG comment to be tongue-in-cheek. I think that became less clear because I segued into a serious point, sorry for the confusion. My point was only that a third search engine means that Google homogenizing the search industry isn't a good strategy anymore. DDG does that merely be existing, outside of anything else it does to differentiate itself (or rather, it would if it had more market share).
Oh, it'll be totally loopy sometimes. I never expected perfection.
Yea... for Larry, Sergey and Bill Gates it turned out really well. For the rest? Must not have turned out well since we haven't even heard of them.

Further, in all the examples I can think of they dropped out because they already had a company going or at least had a really strong idea for a company. That's pretty different than dropping out hoping you'll come up with something.
Wouldn't a nice clean frontend to PGP(or something similar) be the answer?
Lawyer knows the public keys of his clients, uses that key to encrypt it, only the intended recipients can decode it.
When people talk about how Javascript is going to approach C-speeds, I have to wonder how much cross-browser development they have actually done. Recently at work, we found that while Chrome handled using the jQuery UI 'buttons()' to style all of the buttons one of our pages, it was taking IE8 a full 8 seconds. After removing it to improve page rendering times in IE8 even Chrome felt snappier.
I'm pretty sure it's Shuttle Radar data from NASA.

I find candid postmortems indicative of a dependable service. Good work Github.
This was a brilliant idea but unfortunately they no longer use Zimbabwean Dollar anymore, instead the economy has fully moved to USD (now they are legally allowed to do so).. Previously you would get paid in billions.. Zimbabwe's $100 billion banknote could buy you 3 eggs on its release date.

Why would you need bulletproof glass?
Thank you! I was thinking the same things. More concerned about using the vehicle as a pickup than the design. I didn't see places to mount a rack, and only a few places that might be holes for straps.
I think this is a Canadian thing. Friends who emigrated to Nelson BC comment on how in the library, every book by a Canadian author has a maple leaf on the spine. Canada seems to have a bit of an underdog complex about maintaining its cultural identity in the shadow of its neighbor. The museum in Nanaimo has a whole shrine dedicated to famous Canadian entertainers...such as Loverboy and Bryan Adams. They also have a very comprehensive and delightful display covering the gem of Canadian desserts, the Nanaimo Bar.

I don't know how accurate this theory of mine is since I've done zero research and I'm not an expert on anything, but one could make the argument that one delivery doesn't have the same impact as one individual's trip to the store.

Let's say I take a weekly trip to the store in my car. I also have to park it at the store during my trip, meaning the store must use extra land for parking spaces.

Does the delivery truck drive on that same exact trip for each delivery? No, it's already on a computer-optimized delivery route and it will stop and deliver things to my neighbors.

As far as increased consumption, I wonder how in-store retail tactics compare to online shopping. Sure, I might be tempted by the lack of friction by online purchases, but when you go to the store there are temptations galore. You pass aisles with endcaps of stuff you don't need, you pass the beer and liquor section, and perhaps all the things you want are placed at the back of the store - on purpose, so you pass other items.
This also avoids the majority of merge conflicts. Which is an even better reason to do it.
Brutalist buildings are also way more practical than say Victorian ones. Same goes for this car - it won’t win the beauty contest but should hopefully be a lot more practical for those living in rural areas
But not exposed nipples right?
I'm sure there are search engines for it too but I noticed that credit karma can tell you which of your passwords have been associated with your email addresses in data breaches.

Credit Karma is free but the CEO appears to be transparent in how they make money (recommending financial products to you based on what they see in your credit profile).
"You have no privacy if you use the internet. Not one ounce"

Absolutely. And knowing this, the value of my "privacy" is a very low value, especially when compared to what Google provides me to improve my life and/or minimize my time spent online at all.
Unless the project is really very small, this is always the case with very few exceptions.

Mind you, refactoring can happen at a fairly high level -- if you identify the worst, most broken part of the code and first lock down/simplify its interfaces, you can write a drop-in replacement for that whole chunk. Just remember that if writing your drop-in replacement is going to take weeks (rather than days)... or if your estimate keeps sliding..., you've probably chosen too large a chunk and should slice & dice a bit more.

I've had this discussion so many times that now I just have it with myself, and generally only say aloud the correct answer (though it's disappointing).

Psychologically, it's a beautiful thing to wipe the slate clean and just do everything fresh from the start. If only this worked as planned more often (and budgets were hefty enough to support "doing it right", and there were not already a user base who actually wanted to keep some of the broken bits because they knew how to use them already, and you didn't have to deal with a few team members who seemed to always be writing more code just like the old stuff, etc etc)...
Does anyone here actually like Ayn Rand and her writings?
This debate focuses on search and ignores their other services that are mostly paid for by the search business, also maintenance and uptime are being ignored, all of which nullifies the initial question.

These studies can't possible be accurate as their subject is a service that keeps evolving and gets optimized all the time.

Also these studies are usually commissioned and paid for by 'interested' parties.
What else would you want to use the "raw" domain for?

Or phrased differently, what's the disadvantage of pointing your main domain to the www server?
Or try AOL keyword "productname"!
I agree with you, but I've seen so many reviews use this bad movie as a chance to bash Rand that I was hoping to avoid that here.

This one has had a lot of troubles getting off the ground, and I'm guessing that the film reflects that, which as you say, is sad.
Well, since the ACS API is open, why couldn't you just write a client that encrypts your data as well?
Well I can see myself paying for such a tool.. as in my-username.notepad.cc, all files saved under a master password.

Is it possible to get the files sync to dropbox? may be through dropbox api?
im sorry. change my title - i couldn't type in the title as my fingers locked up at the thought of what I was typing.

Yep.

He was made fun of and was afraid to fight at first.

But then, apparently Tyson owned pigeons as a kid. Some guy from his neighborhood took a pigeon and said to him "You want your pigeon back?", and then proceeded to pop the pigeon's head off. Tyson then proceeded to beat the shit out of him (~6 mins into the documentary).

He was also so scared during his first amateur match that he thought about grabbing a train and leaving (minutes before the fight).

Watch "Tyson" on Netflix (streaming). He tells his life story, first person. Surprisingly moving and not a sensationalized account like you'd expect.

A million braincells of mine have died from being overloaded by the stupidity of this pointless article.
It's not a total loss, I have added another author to my list of sources to generally avoid. (Did you click on the author's name? - instead of a profile it leads to a list of articles - and they all look to be this same sort of silly nonsense.)
I think it needs another Twitter button, Facebook has three after all. I'm also wondering how this got on Hacker News without a "share on HN" button.

Oh the irony! We want our Internet to be robust, robust, robust! This bill just did half the work for some evil hacker.
Well, soft mounts should keep the entire machine from dying, unless your running critical processes off the NFS mount. Reporting/debugging these cases can be fruitful.

OTOH, PXE/HTTPS+NFS root is a valid config, and there isn't really anyway to avoid machine/client death when the NFS goes offline for an extended period. Even without NFS linux has gotten better at dealing with full filesystems, but even that is still hit or miss.
No it wasn't. Cramer coined it due to just FANG (not apple) being totally dominant in their markets and having meteoric rises in stock prices at that time.[0]

Oh the hilarity of that one... French people like to joke about belgian people being fries eater: anytime I hear that kind of joke I ask the french person "Do you know what 'frites' are called in most of the world and how they'll be called for posterity?".

The irony (as in "ironie du sort" / twist of fate) and the poetic justice of that one is plain delicious: the french have long made fun of the belgian for being fries eater, but the fate of the french is that fries in english are forever going to be known as french fries.

It cracks me up to no end : )
