My work-from-home superpower is that if I'm feeling sleepy (baby woke me up, slept poorly, whatever), I can take a quick (30 min or so) nap in the early afternoon and when I wake up, I feel refreshed, wide-awake, and make far better decisions and have far better productivity than if I tried to slog through.

When I used to work in an office, that would end up being a coffee run or some sort of other distraction to try and get the energy up... Or simply staring at the screen for a few hours and answering emails.

You changed the assertion because you're including time.

The parent said "A 2D slice of a 3D object."

And that's wrong, it's a 2D projection of a 3D object.

If you include time then it's a slice in the time component, right, but that wasn't being discussed.

There are different strategies depending upon how much emphasis is placed upon early territorial gains as opposed to "influence" which is used for later later territorial gains.

Similarly, playing "passive" moves that make territory without starting a "fight" versus agressively contesting for every piece of territory available.

Version Control Systems – Release Management
About a year ago I wrote an AI to play the board game "Hive" (shares some similarities with chess). Because I scored all wins equally, it behaved almost exactly like this. It would simply try to minimize my advantage while always keeping open the possibility for it to win, almost like a cat toying with prey. It never actually would make the winning move – however obvious – until it had no other options!

I fixed this behavior by scoring earlier wins higher than later wins. Now it will actually finish games (and win), but almost invariably its edge is very small, no matter how well or poorly I play. Because of the new win scoring, it willingly sacrifices its own advantage if it means securing a win even one turn earlier. (And since scoring is symmetrical, this has the added advantage of working to delay any win it sees for me, thus increasing the possibility of me making a mistake!)

I suppose I could try modifying the scoring rules again, to weight them by positional advantage. A "show off" mode if you like :) And again, with the flip side of working to create the least humiliating losses for itself.

> Why would you need a tax? When products are originally designed with an awareness of how people with different abilities will use them there is no extra cost involved.

That is, unfortunately, completely untrue. While there are some decisions that can be made (to improve accessibility) that do not impact the cost of development, there are many that do.

While it's true that each small change tends to have only a minor cost, those costs add up when you realize there are thousands of them. They add development time, testing time, and complexity (which impacts maintainability and associated costs).

I think it's worth it in most cases, but it's certainly not free.
Why not just work split shifts then? 8-12 and 4-8, if you want to nap in the middle that's your prerogative.

Most people other than the researchers and hackers, really did not understand what AI was capable of doing. The very idea of AI seemed too abstract to comprehend(I consider myself guilty).

But AlphaGo showed us what AI is really capable of doing in an eerie sort of way and I think interest in AI will soon become mainstream which is a good thing for the development of AI.

Now it's at least easier to comprehend the context of all those doomsday warnings about AI destroying humanity which I never took seriously.
Do you know of any projects on GitHub that do this?
This question is phrased badly because of the "side jobs". But anyways - I frequently sleep on my lunch breaks. Naps are great, clears my head. I'm most productive right when I get into work and right after lunch nap.

Also to those using, "Well you're only going to get 4 hours productive time anyways" - I disagree. The key to working long productive hours is taking short breaks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlU-zDU6aQ0

ECB reveals surprise stimulus moves
Ask HN: Where/How can I find trending CS research papers?
This is a interesting question to me just for the fact it is asking what can we request from higher management. I was always told when being offer a new job everything was negotiable till you sign the papers. Maybe that is the time you are suppose to request a period in which to take naps? Would you ask to be able to take naps on site at your desk? Would they tell you, you can take naps as long as it is off site like the smokers? What would the company have to provide for you to be able to take a nap? How long would a nap be? I don't think a company should have to provide nap time, but I do think it isn't a crazy request as long as you take it serious. Also remember when you make a request from the company, you are also making a request for everyone else at the company to have the same privileges. You getting approve for nap time would make it possible for anyone else at the company to get approve for nap time.
You might be confusing correctness with relevance. You can pass at the last move and lose 1 point, but if your lead is 5, its the same win-result but not the same count-result. Well, that would be a mistake by all accounts, even if AlphaGo made it.

Some of the moves AlphaGo played both in this game and the previous one are very definite mistakes, but they were irrelevant to the difference in the game.

ergoemacs-mode has support for defining the bindings independently of whether you're using Colemak, Dvorak or QWERTY. That's a pretty good idea since the bindings are not really about any specific layout but should be picked based on travel distance etc.

While I've found the mode very useful in developing my own setup I've moved on from it because it seems to make too many things randomly stop working for me. I like just picking my own bindings.

For me one good goal is to try to get as much as you can of the editing setup system-wide instead of a specific set of keybinds in just that one editor. With a non-modal one this is easier as there are standards like CUA and some other well-established shortcuts that tend to be present in many programs. The default placements just aren't all that great so a tool that can map keybindings to any kind of input can help you make use of them. I use xmonad to do it.
What's the story on inserting data into Cayley? I think every single code example I have seen on it only shows traversing graphs with it.

sad but true reality of medical care - many people assume that because we have portable amazing portable supercomputers with internet(insert any recent progress), we are also in star trek era of personalized medical care with portable scanners revealing every aspect of our body matter down to molecular level, instantly.

well, we're not, and unless you are billionaire/us president, we won't get there in our lifetimes, nor our children's. fiancee is an internal doctor in one of biggest hospitals in Switzerland (read - you don't get much better public healthcare anywhere in the world), and they are

a) overwhelmed by amount of people, especially old whose bodies are just a massive clusterfuck of issues - welcome to being old. all they try is to keep them somehow alive when today this was failing, tomorrow that etc. there are simply no resources in medicare to treat your non-fatal condition which doesn't stem from something obvious.

b) 50% of people are sometimes in pain. each body is unique. what makes one thrive brings other to its knees.

c) as said here before, doctor's role is not detective investigation, that's research. doctors these days are overwhelmed with patients and must prioritize their incoming queue, even if it's with somebody's pain. Every patient also means hours of bureaucratic hell, same for incoming as for outgoing ones. that's why rich people have private health care - it's not about having best doctor available (same as you don't find brightest IT people in say SAP consulting), it's mainly about having someone dedicating as much time as needed to you.

I wish it would be so too, but that's simply not reality now

What I find most striking about the tweet quoted at the beginning of the article is the assumption that just because something is natural (e.g. the peel on an orange), it's better than the manufactured alternative (e.g. plastic packaging). That assumption can probably be traced back to the belief that the natural world was created by a God who designed it to be good, for our benefit (well, before it was supposedly cursed because of sin). The truth, of course, is that the peel on an orange is merely the product of evolution; it wasn't designed for our benefit. We can do better than nature. So the real solution is to package products in a way that's both convenient for us and not harmful to the environment.
So wouldn't the answer to this be not to give them paid naps, but to eliminate the reason they need the nap in the first place? Most people take on side work because they don't make enough at their day job. So maybe re-evaluate their compensation and maybe raise it a bit?
“We don’t have to develop new planes,” Roper said. “We don’t have to develop fundamentally new weapons. But we have to work the integration and the concept of operation. And then you have a completely new capability, but you don’t have to wait long at all.”

Whilst this is simply common sense, it's actually pretty radical thinking for the military. The big military contractors will be worried about this idea gaining widespread acceptance.
No, it's a gross misunderstanding of what is concept art. A concept art piece is about the idea, not the style; if you take a famous protagonist, say batman, you can have it drawn in a medieval, realistic, sci-fi version, drawn in a stylized, realistic, cartoon way; in each case you will recognize him because the idea, the shape language, have nothing to do with the style of the drawing.

Even for illustrative work, where it can give you a good base, it still sucks, because for actual painters this step (thumbnailing) is actually the quickest; most of the time-consuming painting process is 'finishing', or 'detailing' the rough.

However, where it's great is in giving the ability to inexperienced people to paint well. The hard part of the painting is getting the lightning, color scheme, perspective right, but the finishing process is quite mechanical. So it could ease the outsourcing of some art assets creation.
Every job I've ever had in Sweden was a (actual) 40-hour work week. Whenever I have to work much more than 40 hours I simply take the extra time off later as a matter of course.

Agreeing with some of the other comments here; side jobs is not a good story here. If you have a fulltime contract at that company and your side jobs are making you sleepy then you should quite those side jobs. Besides that; a programmer/engineer can do maybe 4 hours of coding a day. I notice that when I have a siesta (I take a 1 hour nap after lunch) I am sharper and more focused and can do more hours. And it really makes me feel a lot better as well. Then again; I don't juggle contracts on the side anymore as that sucked the life out of me with or without naps.

Yeah i actually prefer them by far over the classic ad approach, i rather see things i am probably interested in.

Why would i tell them obivous things they dont even care about?

Not sure what gives you the idea that i would depend parts of my site to external services, i dont even use S3/AWS even thought thats industry standard.
My sites work perfectly without ads, i even include ads in a way that they get invisible when blocked,
so there are no UI (or any other) issues for people who prefer to block them.

I am not going to play the internet hero and miss out on my awesome extra income just because some people have radical thoughts about Google.
It may makes you happy that i only have ads on sites which are worth it, but all the others have Adsense, so i assume you dont care.

Since Urlang has not been released on pkgs.racket-lang.org yet, clone the Github repo. And then use the Package Manager in DrRacket (or use raco) to install urlang as a package.

I think the real cleverness of that book is the comparison of 2D creatures to 3D, and use that to guide our otherwise non-existent intuition of what 4D space would look like. I could imagine one thinking of that analogue before reading the book, making it seem less novel. But you have to remember that we've lived in a society that's had that book for nearly 150 years, so it would not be surprising if some of the ideas from the book became a mainstream meme.
