Anxiety provokes a physical response - palms start sweating, the heart beats faster and harder, breathing increases, skin itches, hair rises. These are all adrenaline reactions; part of the "fight or flight" response.

As your body goes through these physical reactions your mind starts whirring.

The main challenge with remote telesurgery is what do you do when connection goes down in the middle of surgery. You need someone onsite competent enough to continue where remote surgeon stopped due to loss of connectivity.

We explored similar issues 20+ years ago in manufacturing with remote intercontinental control of facility when a large portion of local workforce goes on summer vacation. In the end, we needed to send a group of skeleton crew from US that was self-sufficient to operate the facility if we lost remote connectivity to the facility.

The spotify queue system is just awful. Various examples:

- I can't just put music in the queue to play and then stop with an empty queue. There always has to be something in "next tracks", either an album or a playlist.

- I can't add a playlist to the queue.

- The queue is not synced between all my devices (spotify desktop on osx, spotify beta on linux, play.spotify.com, android app, mopidy-spotify for home stereo). With Rdio there was just one queue and everything played it. Spotify Connect is trying to fix this but it's not supported everywhere yet.

- Sometimes things I've deleted from my queue magically reappear.

- Restarting the app (on osx) makes me lose the first song from my queue (since it jumps back to "next tracks").
"If students are subsidized then colleges will lose incentive to provide a proper education."

My college was subsidized because of an in-state tuition and state scholarship. Do you think my college didn't provide a proper education?

My high school was subsidized. Do you think it didn't provide a proper education?

Many if not most colleges in Western Europe are free or highly subsidized. [1] Do you think they have lost interest in providing a proper education?

California colleges until the 1980s had no tuition. (See http://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/28/science/california-weighs-... - "The California Postsecondary Education Commission recommended earlier this month that the state abandon one of the cornerstones of its college and university system, a pledge that the state will pay instructional expenses for all residents.") Do you think Berkley, UCLA, etc. had lost their incentive to provide a proper education until the 1980s, when students started to pay tuition again for the first time in decades?

No, your concern doesn't seem warranted given past and current experience in providing free education.

Back when I did a 4GL with them, my amateur trick was to write and test them like normal programs first. Then in the templated form as a normal program. Then do macros. On first two, I can use any technique known to benefit software quality. For programming in the large, interface checks that enforce correct usage are a straight-forward solution.

Curious, with your LISP and ML background, what method or methods do you use to ensure your macros are correct and easy to debug?

You tie it to something of a known mass and spin the pair. The motion of these two bodies measures mass without the concept of gravity/weight. Or you throw it at something of known mass and measure the speed it imparts onto the known object. Or you hang the known mass and the unknown mass on strings and measure the force of gravity between them, which may seem hard but can be done with stuff from Home Depo.

Just to point out healthcare sector in USA is tightly controlled by government and people don't have a lot of freedom to experiment with quality and price. It is not a surprise if in such cases a socialist government paid system works out better for most people.

I do think Rust is currently the most likely language to become the C++ killer. And attract significant number of developers from other major commercial languages/platforms as well.

Rust might eventually become the new industry standard. That'd be a clear improvement for sure.

But we'll see what happens. Hopefully there'll be no Rust committees at least.
Well, based on what I read elsewhere it seems like they didn't think licencing was that big of a deal at all really, which is an even larger demonstration of hubris than this.

I do feel bad for their employees who may end up being blacklisted from insurance period for practicing without a licence.
This is being way overblown IMO.

If you've worked at a big, regulated company, you know there are tons of trainings that you have to do.

Often said training provide little to no value, other than covering the ass (CYA'ing) of the employer.

But what's worse: these programs will sometimes log you out if you're not paying 100% attention.

Everyone I knew working at our Big 4 accounting firm would do our real work while these "training" videos played in the background.

Some engineer likely thought s/he was helping everyone out. And rightly so...their time was likely much better spent in other places given their incredible growth.

Consumers demand their new toys on a regular cycle. If one company doesn't keep up, another will. Too long not in the news and people forget about you.

The only way to stay relevant in a world with a thousand distractions is to keep making enough noise that customers pay attention.

Performers with stage fright have been using beta blockers for year as an off-label treatment for performance anxiety.

I read about that a few years ago, so gave it a go before high-pressure situations where, previously, my mind and attitude were fine but my body was going nuts, and.. the fight-or-flight response has either been heavily diminished or even absent. I consider them a major win with only occasional (several times a year) low dose use but YMMV.
oh geez you just reminded me of a huge wtf on the mobile app. Whenever you get to an album or playlist, the gigantic green button says "Shuffle Play" and there is no way to change that.

> practice out loud

Oddly enough, the exact opposite works for me: don't practice at all (I suspect this won't work for most people). The clearest example I can recall is when I was at university - I had to deliver a short speech to the group (10 or so people) on a topic I knew fairly well, and prepared and basically memorised the whole thing (including practising out loud). On the day, I was a nervous, stumbling mess, and completely missed half the points I wanted to raise despite having the speech in front of me.

The following week, we had a debate on a related topic, with no advance warning (format was two teams of three, each person delivering a speech similar in length to the one mention above but to expect interruptions from the other side). Despite the lack of planning and preparation, I delivered my speech near flawlessly, handled interruptions without issue, and was the most outspoken person in critiquing the oppositions' arguments (my professor took me to one side at the end of the seminar and mentioned that I performed much better off the cuff). It was really weird to see that difference, as I thought it would go just as poorly as the last time.

Ask HN: How to induce productive mania?
When I first started programming, I fell in love. Over a period of roughly 3 months, I maintained what can only be described as a productive mania. I had a very positive mood, elevated energy levels, intrinsic motivation, and an overwhelming, driving, sense of happiness.

I would spend hours, and hours, pouring over documentation, absorbing everything I could. I applied what I learned in projects that were relevant to me. Every day I was EXCITED to wake up, and learn more.

That was 5 years ago, and I still look back on that time and wonder HOW? HOW did my own body, naturally, without drugs, go into a state of HYPER productivity and HYPER positive mood? Is it not possible to induce that state again somehow? If I was capable of it once, why can't I control it?

Eh, I am using reflection in a small (C#) project at work - I've had to implement a unit test system of sorts (yes, NIH, reinventing the wheel etc etc) and reflection lets me find all methods that return a particular type very easily. I agree it can become spaghetti very quickly but it is quite useful at times.
The guy on my team who's a 'hacker' is in his mid 30s. Some people just never grow up. I'm 27, and I'm the guy always arguing with my near-40 boss about trying to do things the right way, not the way that's easiest today. Age is probably the generalization to make, but cargo-cult mentality isn't in any way limited to then young.
> You pay me money to get a job done at a certain level. If you want me to be superman, you better pay me more like it!

It can literally just be a cup of tea when you get home. It doesn't have to be hours of time and energy, but the point that not doing so will cause you to become sick is certainly accurate.

But I think the point of the article was how to cope with overwork and reduce your stress, not to actually reduce your work load.
That one can be very confident the effect observed was real.
It's not that simple I think.

For example, in the framework front, you guys argued that React is way better than Angular. I don't even know what's going on with Ember.js, Vue.js (fine, I'll give that this one is very new and untested), Backbone+Marionette.

I don't see that kind of argument in the other communities.

Your build: why are you omitting Grunt? What about broccoli and bower? what about Yeoman? Bower is kind of a big deal for front-end dev.

There's no "majority" in the JS world unlike the other ecosystems.

Cuba? I heard Cuba _once_ in HN. Brooklyn and the rest? never heard.

There are bajillion newer Java "microservice" frameworks but the usage is just rounding error.

Also keep in mind that in other ecosystems, the major players are already established while in JS ecosystems, all of them are considered new/young. There is no _established_ players for each tool segment (except unit-testing where I think Mocha is better than Jasmine, unfortunately due to lack of exposure and whatnot, Jasmine is still lurking around)
No, you're confusing mass and weight. Mass is the amount of matter in a thing. Weight measures gravity's pull on the thing.

This theoretical device could make things weight more than with just Earth's gravity... but it wouldn't help your spaceship. Your engine is still pushing out the same amount of matter, so thrust remains unchanged.

> You tie it to something of a known mass and spin the pair. The motion of these two bodies measures mass without the concept of gravity/weight.

I have no intuition for this. Maybe it's valid, but your other two examples raise grave doubts about this one.

> Or you throw it at something of known mass and measure the speed it imparts onto the known object.

Blind application of the principle of conservation of momentum does indeed tell us that we can measure the mass of one object by colliding it at known velocity with another object of known mass and measuring the resulting velocities. But I tend to worry that the mechanism for transferring velocity from one object to another object in a collision is the force it exerts during the collision, and that that force might be determined by the object's weight (also a force) rather than mass (a platonic concept). But, I'm not sure here either.

This ties in to the "fun factoid" that physics has no explanation for inertial mass and gravitational mass being the same quantity. If they in fact aren't necessarily the same thing, momentum transfer, measuring inertial mass, would solve this problem. If there is a reason they coincide, this approach will be confounded by that reason.

> Or you hang the a known mass and the unknown mass on strings and measure the force of gravity between them

I'm absolutely certain this wouldn't work to distinguish the mass and weight of an object that has extra weight because it's emitting extra gravity. The measured force of gravity is going to include the extra gravity you're trying to ignore.

Good, then he can stop reaching for new libraries and frameworks every time he gets "confused" or "intimidated". Invest the effort to learn one of them in-depth and the knowledge will still be applicable to new tools that come along. After all, they're just "marginally" different.

I'll second that they're weird.

I'm a little weird myself when it comes to age. I generally do not care about the age of the woman I am dating. If I like her and find her attractive that's enough for me. In terms of numbers, the oldest woman I've dated was 22 years older than me and the youngest woman I've ever dated who was 18 years younger than me and I've dated all ages in-between. (My circle of friends is also widely distributed in terms of age.)

You won't find me on Tinder. Mainly because I see it as a hookup app, and I'm not about that life. But also...

...from what I've seen (with young female friends who have used the app and dated older guys) the guys on Tinder take the opposite approach to age. To them, age matters more than the person. They're not out there looking to make a connection with a person. They're on there trying to score with young women, deny their own aging, or both; and their approach makes me think they never had game even when they were younger. Creepy is the only word for it.

PCVA Files Class-Action Lawsuit Against Apple for “Error 53” Issue
You're defining ideology too narrowly.....an ideology is a system of ideas and ideals. It doesn't have to be mistaken, and it can be completely justified and correct.

"I think Javascript is better because I prefer to use technologies I know" can be part of an ideology.
A couple of very simple tricks:

Macros must be staged - similarly to a good practice of not having too big functions, macros also must be small, and must transform code in small steps, with more macros further breaking the result down. Ideally, each macro must be a trivial rewrite doing only one small thing.

Another trick is to have a bunch of macros that would inject debugging output when enabled. Wrap every macro definition body in such a macro, and, with debugging turned on (can be selective), both source and output would be displayed. Another macro can be used to inject debugging info into a generated code.

I usually start writing macros the other way around - not from a code I'd like to see generated, but from a final form. Once I find the code with macros passable, I'll start implementing the macros, in small steps.

Same applies to a DSL design in general - first I write a code I want to see, and only then I fill in an implementation.
