I had to get to a point where I could understand the concept that the best way to get the work done is to just get the work done.

There's no magic pill. There's no yoga. There's no special coffee. There's no long walks on the beach. There's nothing that will get the work done for you. You're the only one capable of getting the work done, and it just takes sitting down and doing it.

Of course, that is easier said than done. But try it some time. Try repeating to yourself "the work does not get done until I choose to do it."

I also started getting very comfortable with the idea of giving up on things. I either choose to do a thing now or I throw it away completely. If there was something that I couldn't give up on, then the whole process sort of naturally collapsed into a propensity for starting things right away.

We make up these lies to ourselves. TODO lists, with multiple things marked as "high priority". There can only ever be one priority. If someone says two or more things are a priority, they are confused. You have to figure out what the actual, real, priority task is. There is always one thing, one real thing, that is the actual priority, and people can often lose sight of it because they think they have their planning covered. Tasks are always on the backlog until they are being worked on, and only one thing can be worked on at a time. Certainly order the backlog by what is important, but don't delude yourself into thinking you can work on more than one thing at a time.

I got more comfortable with the concept of living a lifestyle, rather than achieving goals. When you define success by goals-achieved, then you are constantly a failure, until a brief moment when you succeed, and then you need to define new goals and are right back into being a failure. I am a success because I live the lifestyle I want. Because I'm not living in a constant state of failure, then there is no sense that any particular action is woefully inadequate towards achieving success. No task can be inadequate towards achieving success, because all tasks that I engage in are a symptom of my notion of success.

And I grew an understanding that living a certain lifestyle meant not living other lifestyles. To choose to be a certain way is equally to choose to stop being another way. If there is some way that you want to be that you are not achieving, it means there is some way that you are that you need to choose to stop. I'm overweight, I could choose to stop drinking beer, and I would lose weight. I choose to have a lifestyle that involves drinking beer in front of my computer at night. I choose to not have a lifestyle that involves rock climbing on weekends. I choose to work on Virtual Reality software. That means I also choose to stop working on electronics, painting, photography, writing novels, or whatever other low-grade hobbies I had before I finally found focus.

So long as you understand your choices and their consequences, I don't think they can become psychological weights around your neck, keeping you dragged down in the duldrums of anti-productivity.

Ideas will be invented and patented. The best option is to get rid of patents entirely. The next best is to have such power in responsible hands.

Given recent events and exposés, I'm more comfortable with the patent being in Apple's hands than someone else.
The author doesn't seem to understand the difference between motivation and discipline. He has been successful into tricking himself into a frequent state of writing motivation. He's very lucky to have done so.

For the rest of us, who aren't so lucky, discipline will have to do. Writing every day (or every two days, or every week, etc) isn't a about finishing a project or being the best you can be. It's about making writing a permanent fixture in your life. The same goes for any other skill.

People imagine the quality gap between things created in bursts of highly motivated inspiration and things created through slow, at times plodding, hard work is high. It isn't. If it were, there would be markedly fewer books, games, movies, etc. out there. By and large, if you're good at something, you'll still be good at it even if you don't want to be doing it. You might not be as amazing at it, but you will still have the skill. That's what practice is for.
I'm in Australia, and I've never seen an irl viral phenomenon on the streets like this. In the inner city of Brisbane, every second person I see is staring at their phone, swiping up to catch Pokemon. Mobs of 100+ people chasing 'lures' are being moved on from parks in the middle of the night. And there was a pub crawl: https://www.facebook.com/events/267390546965461/
Well Yes. That's the irony. If you had even minimal trademark enforcement, the risk ratio would encourage you to manufacture and sell white label and counterfeit jackets as separate firewalled vendors. So one could be shut down without effecting the other. Here the risk is clearly so low they don't even bother... or maybe they have firewalled vendors and the cost of setting up a generic vendor is so low that its less than the dual manufacturing pipeline... either way that's the irony.
While you're correct that it's a state diagram processing HTTP semantics and not parsing; parsing a text-based protocol is far from trivial. In fact, the HTTP2 FAQ explicitly mentions [1] that reducing parsing complexity was a motivation for going binary with HTTP2.

Right, I agree that if the genes which predispose somebody to being gay had no benefits whatsoever, then they could not even exist; they would have a purely negative effect on fitness. So they must have some positive effect on genetic fitness to even exist at all. And they must be relatively significant and intractable from the side effect that some of their carriers turn out gay, given how common gay people are.

But that is separate from whether or not pressure from relatives to reproduce can be used as a mitigating strategy for the cases where these genes do result in someone being gay. And this strategy, then, would lower the amount of fitness those genes would need to provide to be viable.
This isn't just click-bait, it's irresponsible journalism.
Same thing in America. I remember the first night it was released I was walking to the grocery store and it was almost like a low-key street festival going on. People of all ages, genders and races on the streets running around with their phones.

I've never seen anything like it.
I meant it isn't "worth it" for Jason Furman to mention it, because he can assume that virtually everyone listening (or, at least, his intended audience) not only assumes it as a given, but has it so ingrained into how they think about the world that mentioning it in the first place would actually be weird. To borrow your example, if a fish started every argument with "we are surrounded by water, therefore..."

I don't disagree with you.
I don't get the innovation in this paper - are they just running word2vec on groups of items? If so, Spotify has been doing this on playlists for years now: https://erikbern.com/2013/11/02/model-benchmarks/

Also, I know the paper isn't claiming state-of-the-art, but their SVD results are horrendous. Standard CF would create much better artist-artist pairings with even a medium sized dataset.

As an aside, I've run some quantitative and qualitative tests and have found the best recommendations come from a combination of user-item and item-item. I co-gave a talk at the NYC machine learning meetup recently (https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1S5Cizi9LFQ7l0bMYtY7g...) that shows how this can work, starting at slide 20. The idea is to create a candidate list of matches using item-item, and then reorder using item-user. I've found this creates "sensible" suggestions using item-item, but truly personalizes when re-ordering. You can remove obvious recommendations by removing popular matches or matches the user has already interacted with (I consider this a business decision rather than something inherent in the algorithm).
Very feasible, it is how your TV remote works... However, current-gen iPhones have IR filters on their normal (i.e. non-selfie) cameras, so this technology can't be applied through a firmware update.

I think it could be made more effective using radio waves.

This is incorrect. Evolution is simply change over generations by natural selection. the mechanism by which that happens, be it DNA or epigenetics or whatever, is not strict
Average data for Austin, though, misses some important points. Anything near central is quickly becoming unaffordable to anyone without a high paying professional job. Outer lying areas are still affordable, but the transportation situation is so horrendous that living in those outlying areas comes with a high personal cost if you have to commute.
Thank you for indulging my pedantry.

Clinically speaking, perhaps biological evolution had a chance of dealing with this.

Now, biological evolution has been replaced by "social evolution". A trait of physically debilitating condition, that is treatable, is no longer a reproduction fullstop. Those genes carry on. What genes will peter out are the absence of skills that are employable and not being able to find a partner because of that. Of course this is simplifying it to a large extent.

The human population will drop over the next millenia. Whether that is because of waterwars, lack of food, natural calamities, or space colonisation is left as an exercise for the future generations.
Today I learned that people will spend the better part of a day looking at and presumably buying candles.

"People come here and they make a day out of it. They'll spend four, five hours in this store because it's fun!"

I can't think of any store where I'd happily spend anything approaching that amount of time. But candles? Really? Fun?
Wow. If you can combine Python and Prolog, I can't help but feel you can combine anything. Those are pretty different!

The previous iteration of this concept was Ingress, by the same developer. It's an active subculture, but not to the level of Pokemon GO.

The marketing is ingenious. It manages to capitalize on the nostalgia of two generations that grew up playing Pokemon games, and the fact that the stated (virtual) premise of Pokemon was always to roam the world and catch these creatures.

Regardless of the longevity of the game, this phenomenal marriage of a popular videogame series with an experienced alternate reality company will be studied for many years.
The Economist has often badmouthed Italy. The title is way too sensationalist. The comment section also highlights this ethnic bias. I will never forget their insulting cover from years ago: http://static.fanpage.it/socialmediafanpage/wp-content/uploa.... Just clickbaits and provocations.

In other words, the disclaimers were confusingly worded, perhaps due to regulatory capture.

I'm a physician. Unfortunately, most of our overdoses in North America are from prescribed opiates. They are very addictive, and despite best efforts to control and monitor dosing and schedules, these opiates are often either purposefully overdosed (suicide attempts), diverted, or accidentally ingested. My worst memory in pediatrics was a 7 year old who was brain-dead after ingesting only one (!!!) tablet of her grandfather's high-strength Oxy prescription that she thought was Tylenol.

Opiates are bad news, and physicians unfortunately were duped into prescribing way too much for the last ~15 years.
Even living in the city core has serious transportation costs in a few areas.

I used to live in South Central Austin and commute north of 183 to work. When my car broke down I took the bus-no big deal, coming from Chicago I don't have many aspersions to public transit-so long as it works and is relatively safe (or as safe as a city can reasonably make it).

When I say "pick your poison" re: cost, I mean getting from my apartment to my job on time meant waking up 3 hours before shift begins and riding for two hours. Getting off work at 5:30 and not getting home until almost 9 depending on traffic conditions (school year meant having to ride through the UT area, that added another hour).

The "personal cost" adevine mentions here is real and it is painful. You're either going to spend more on gas and vehicular maintenance, or you're going to spend every waking moment not at work sitting on the bus (depending on where you live), or waiting for a bus.

I think people will look back on this game as important, as something special. I've been playing video games for over twenty years, and I can't remember the last time something felt quite as exciting as this. Each time I've gone out, I've seen other people walking around playing, and everyone gets the same goofy smile when you ask them if they're playing Pokemon too.

It shows the potential for AR games, and I think it will help a lot of people get in shape. I've walked around outside more in the past three days than I have in the past two months. Even hanging out with friends, rather than sitting inside watching tv or playing xbox, it's like "let's check out that lure", or, "I see a Bulbasaur, let's go get it".

When I was a kid, I remember wishing that Pokemon was real. This game really captures some of the magic and sense of adventure I felt when I first played it so many years ago.
Yeah, this should be the case just based on the logistics involved. Higher education typically takes place during the years when a woman is able to have children. And to go a step further: generally people obtain higher education for a purpose: to further a career. So, then, after schooling is over, there will be a career to make, further reducing the number of years available for a woman to have children.

So this should be the case based on practical matters alone.
I don't have kids and I pretty much agree with you. On a weekday, I get up, I go to the gym or for a run or swim, and I go to work. After work, I come home, and I make dinner. If I lived in a vibrant city area, I'm honestly not sure what I'd do after that. At the end of a full day of work, I'm tired. I'm not exceptionally introverted but the last thing I want to do is spend 4 more hours in public. I'd rather spend the evening reading, or catching up on a TV show, or working on a hobby project. I'm certainly not going to go out drinking - I have to work again tomorrow! And for the handful of times a month there is something in the city I want to attend, the hassle of driving/busing/ubering into the city isn't too bad.

I do think there is a split between married (with or without kids) and single people. My wife was gone for a couple weeks last month and it got pretty quiet in the evenings. I can see why single people would prefer the city.

Ingress was as exciting as this. And it was a lot of fun running into other players (friendly and enemy) and spotting them from a few dozen yards away. I still regularly talk to people I met on the Ingress scene, including one enemy player who was, at the time, my "archnemesis" of sorts. I did meetups with other local players to takeover large areas as a group and stuff as well.

But yeah, version 2 is cool too, I guess. ;)

Like Ingress, it'll be pretty busy for a few months and then it'll probably recede back to a core community of people who really really get into it.

To be honest, that cover looks like a perfectly fair and accurate assessment of both men.
In the end it's possible in any language to produce exploitable bug (apart from maybe Erlang VM?). The point is about 1) how hard (probable) it is, 2) how popular are error checking tools (C static analyzers, Google Thread Sanitizer, etc), and 3) how fast can the culprit code be found and fixed.

In that regard Rust has reduced both 1) and 3) by only exposing dangerous features in unsafe {}, and greatly improved 2) since the compiler itself is checking those errors.

Uber sure gets a lot of bad press, but if the movie Wolf on Wall Street is any indicator, there's no such thing as bad press (unless you're Theranos). The press seems to be helping Uber a lot in name recognition. It's becoming the Kleenex of on-demand car services.

Is there even any point of referring to an ISA as distinctly 'RISC' or 'CISC' anymore? Modern AMD64 'CISC' (and even some ARM machines, despite being considered 'RISC') machines are held together behind the scenes by a microcode with a much smaller arsenal of instructions, and then you have stuff like this where a RISC-V ISA chip might fuse ops together in a very CISC-like abstraction.

This is a good question -- my impression is that Niantic is assumed to have used existing Ingress tech that they jointly manage with Nintendo. The Pokemon Company handles marketing and licensing and not much else.

Nintendo does have a lot of capable staff and I wouldn't be surprised if there are a few dozen tech folks at the center of this, between Nintendo, Niantic, and Google, that are excited to make this game a success. This kind of tech talent cross-pollination is good for everybody involved and Nintendo's stock price growth is a reflection of this.
The Australian system is similar to the New Zealand system mentioned by Avelaps.

The overwhelming majority of Universities are government operated and are subsidised. There is a fee, that can be paid upfront or be deferred to be paid through the tax system after you graduate.

In effect it's cheap(er) education with a loan system that:

- Is interest free, but indexed at CPI

- Does not survive death (i.e. your debt disappears when you die)

- Is only repayable once you reach a specified level of income.
Yay, this is delightful.

I wrote a nano-inspired TTY-based editor, too, and have used it to do virtually all of my coding work for the last couple of years. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about it, technologically, but it does exactly what I want in exactly the way I want it to, and that was enough to make the time spent feel worth my while.

There's something really satisfying about the exercise of creating one's tools. I think there is a lot of value in projects like this whether anyone else ever uses them or not, as an exercise in software craftsmanship.

Looking at this project, I am inspired to see if I could simplify my editor's codebase. I was never fully convinced that ncurses did enough good to justify its complexity; it might be interesting to adopt this author's approach instead.

No doubt Ingress was exciting, but it was a new AR/VR concept and an original sci-fi plot, putting it in the same ballpark demographic as a AAA video game.

Pokemon GO has the advantage of being based on an multi-billion dollar, 20-year-old franchise. Its appeal goes beyond that of a typical videogame, so has a significant leg up over Ingress in people's hearts and minds. Its popularity will eventually segment into a hardcore group and a mainstream group, but its mindshare among the wider population is likely to remain strong.
