Why are people TL;DRing a lot of posts recently? Surely on HN, the joy is in discovering the linked content themselves surely?

If you don't have time to read HN, and need TL:DRs then you should question why you are here in the first place.

Ask HN: Do you have any experience with burning out in the tech industry?
Hi HN,

I'm working on a book about the causes and consequences of chronic stress and burning out in tech. I would love to talk to others who've experienced something similar, to share experiences and ideas about underlying causes, prevention and recovery. More information about the project on:

as much as tl;dr is increasingly irritating when used in this way, baiting downvotes is also not cool.

What do you think they'll be replaced by?
I think a lot of people have a lot of anxiety around the concept of creepiness and when something that looks like an opportunity to try to discuss and maybe resolve this anxiety presents itself in a community where they feel at home, they jump to discussion.

Of course, an openly-readable Internet forum is a risky place to open yourself up emotionally.

Best philosophy I've found is: take most urgent problem, solve minimally, check, repeat forever.
Liquid nitrogen is much easier and cheaper to work with than liquid helium (probably most US high schools see freeze and break a banana or similar experiments regularly; it costs very little).

IMO it would still be a major real world breakthrough when this is ready for engineering use. But while this research may be a big step to that goal, it does not yet move the problem from science to engineering.
Ed Boyden: How to Think (2007)
Click bait title, its about a bug that has the value "ten years " as part of the issue, not a bug that took ten tears to solve like the title implies...
>This is one reason that the music of the 2nd Viennese School (Schoenberg, Webern, Berg) is so impossible to look at: the structure of the music is obfuscated by the structure of the notation

Wrong. First of all, it's not "impossible" to look at by any means; I think it's beautiful to look at (as great music usually is).

There is a good reason why Schoenberg abandoned his (briefly-held) ideas about new forms of notation (and went on to produce another three decades' worth of music in traditional notation). He, and his disciples Berg and Webern, were steeped in the Western art music tradition, of which they believed their work to be a natural continuation. They didn't have a very good theoretical understanding of the new music they were creating -- because, apparently, music theory is hard. But they could sense its intimate relationship to its historical predecessors; indeed, they specifically, cultivated that relationship, baking it into the music. This, in my view, is why they were never going to break away from the visual representation of that relationship, of that continuity -- namely, traditional notation.

The idea that their music is not in a key is widespread, but incorrect. Inferential distance (https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Inferential_distance) precludes me from being able to explain this concisely in a non-misleading way, unfortunately.
I was just as confused by the title of the article as some others on this comment thread, so here is a TLDR explaining the intent:

Commercial satellites (i.e. their operators) need warnings to move out of the way when space debris approach them. This service used to be provided by the Pentagon, who have now handed it over to the FAA for multiple reasons, including for this very relevant reason quoted from the article:

“It will be a lot easier for the United States to have conversations about safety with the rest of the world,” according to Mr. Nield, without having the Department of Defense in the middle of those discussions.
The fascinating part is it varies geographically within China too, so for instance Github is not blocked on the coast (at least in Shenzhen) but is definitely blocked out in Xinjiang.
I noticed the same.
For instance: not so long ago there was a story on HN that reported the fact that Google's autocomplete suggestions have a strange bias against Trump and in favor of Clinton, which doesn't seem reflect the popularity of the suggested sentences. It got flagged quickly and removed. Probably because the source was sputnik.com, a Russian news site.

But the phenomenon that was reported was true, it was easy to verify by yourself.
I don't see why these kind of posts should be flagged and removed. Maybe you don't agree with their content, but then why not have a discussion about them? In this case I would have been interested in hearing an explanation for those autocomplete suggestions.
>But not personal emails.

That's true.

>The House GOP is careful to avoid making that distinction, because their goal is to feed a sense of impropriety--a goal which seems to be well-met here on HN, judging by the comments.

No, the sense of impropriety was fed by Hillary Clinton herself when she turned over a tiny fraction of emails relating to official business and then destroyed the rest so nobody could ever retrieve them.

Honestly, that people can't see, by now, after the cattle futures, after the Rose Law documents, after the Clinton Foundation, after the destroyed emails, that this woman is crooked... I can't help but be amazed.
> Focus (do one thing at a time, maybe two)

I think it is important to focus on an achievable list of tasks each day, otherwise you can easily get overwhelmed. Getting items closed each day makes me feel effective.

My personal "hack" is to focus on no more than 5 tasks per day (apart from all of my regular everyday work tasks), and I am building an MVP to track those: https://five.today/

I honestly get a great feeling from a completed list at the end of each day (but I don't always get there!).
> Then it’s easy to see that your “major + minor = perfect” formula only works for some intervals, Etc.

Where does it go wrong? Do those cases come up in practice?

Counting up and down the scale is a core use case for a notation for intervals. It absolutely needs to be well-supported. A 12-semitone approach is never going to match the usability of even the existing system.
To me the range of negativity (from let's say "creepy Halloween decoration" to "that creepy old guy" or "a jar full of babys' fingers") is similar in both languages, and something that has to be inferred from context. "Creepy" covers the disgusting axis a bit more, but eklig/ekelhaft covers that area easily if necessary.

The fact that "creepy" is used in German language sometimes points towards that the terms are not exactly identical, but it's a tiny difference and in no way big enough to say that the concept doesn't exist. It's just a shorthand for something that otherwise might require a modifier or explanation, + using English is cool.
I doubt it, since Purebasic is based on a substantial amount of x86 assembly. There is an old Amiga version around but that would be 68k, of course.
That happens when some "leet rockstar ninja 10xer" goes overconfident and starts disrespecting basic readibility rules such as not putting magic numbers in your code.

Some basic code hygiene, humility and common sense can avoid you problems like this. For saving 5 seconds creating a variable, now someone has to waste man years going through the entire code base to find the stupid lousy code.

I hope the idiot got fired and sent back to the planet of the apes.
What makes you think they're not doing it?
You are absolutely correct that rape is a violent and sickening crime, and that it is committed by both "natives" as well as immigrants, but I wouldn't be so cavalier in describing it as a "man problem". It certainly seems that males make up a large percentage of those who commit rape but female-on-male and female-on-female rape is not exactly an insignificant occurrence. I don't have a source handy but I remember reading the statistics for rape by female corrections officers here in the US against male inmates, and in particular against underage male inmates at juvenile facilities, and it was upsettingly common. Even amongst the non-incarcerated, female-on-male rape is a very serious issue that I don't think should be so completely dismissed.
Because a lot of notable ReactJS projects are irritatingly enamored with all the latest ES6/ES7/ESCloudCuckooLand features, not all of which are supported by TypeScript.

I've noticed this a lot in the Redux realm. For every possible problem there seems to be a solution that harnesses one particular new/proposed bell & whistle.
Thats why I said prevention and education.

PGP prevents the user from overlooking the domain/email from where the message came. Educating users and introducing policies (mandatory PGP, etc) minimizes the possibility of someone performing these kind of social engineering tricks. After all, people are always the weakest link, and you cant fix people :)
> I don't think history can guide us here

Of course it can. What has been consistent over centuries is that, as we've automated physical and intellectual labour, we've replaced it with other forms of physical and intellectual labour. Not in equal amounts, sure, but we've adapted. It's why we have, on average, more people in education for longer than historically, for example.

I agree it's fun to extrapolate this to some form of asymptotic future but just because we can envisage future X doesn't mean it will occur (William Gibson novels aside, of course).

So far we haven't come up with a decent explanation of consciousness which is why I am prepared to be a bit more open minded. The fact you can't observe it, only experience it adds to that. It may well be physical, but it may not.

Not everyone in open source is out here to dethrone proprietary systems (although many of us have "enemies", my personal one ATM is Oracle, although with a smile, -I wouldn't sabotage them even if I could get away with it but I love to tell people about alternatives)

Some are just experimenting, some are building reputation, some are just out here to make the world a better place for everyone etc.

Telling people who produce nice useful stuff to "stop the project, burn the code" is, IMO, rude and harmful.

Edit: Let me add, - thanks a whole lot for working on opensource and on irc specifically. Many of us here love IRC and the reason why I downvoted one of your earlier comments is because we don't think anyone should be allowed to tell people what open source projects they should or should not start or contribute to.
> Unconscious behavior like this made me lose much of the respect I had for women.

I agree. What really gets me is that you're told to open up and talk about your emotions. They paint to bottle up as a negative trait, but women usually lose all respect for men – friends and partners – who share their own fears and worries. One time is enough to ruin your image and dismiss the good times. Empathy is replaced by disgust, since they don't want to be seen around with a weakling.

I still believe everyone is worthy of respect and dignity. But I'm not going to put my trust on women. Sensitive men are creepy.
What about proofy

TypeScript is a PITA when working with typed immutable records, I don't think there will be a happy solution to that. React stack encourages stuff like immutable.js. In general TS React feels bolted on rather than designed with TS in mind like Angular 2.

I love TS and using ng2 at work. If I was using React I would probably also skip on TS.

Efficient renewable energy is great, but isn't the problem storage of that energy? Without storage, the energy generated by renewables needs to be used up by the grid immediately. Won't most of it be wasted?
Road direction can be ambiguous. Fairly obvious with a loop like I-270 around Columbus, Ohio. I've thought they should have designated the direction as clockwise and counterclockwise, going around the loop for a significant portion gets confusing re: "North" which may be actually east or west.

Also I-84 in western Idaho is more north-south even though it's even-numbered and nominally and east-west highway. Probably not too confusing because roads are much more sparse in that part of the country, people navigate on the basis of destinations, the exact direction is kind of hypothetical.

No surprises in it though, real-world roads won't follow the abstract grid very closely, there are going to be quite a few exceptions.
The main reason for using Babel was async/await. However, the lastest TypeScript verion (typescript@next) can compile async/await for older browsers, so there is no reason for me to use Babel anymore.
What does help me too is to just start on something and not procrastinate. If you survived the first 2 seconds of starting, you can go on for hours.

Car Hacking Research: Remote Attack Tesla Motors
I wouldn't exactly call it click-bait.

The crux of both the article and the accomplishment is writing an 32-bits ARM emulator that works on an 8-bit machine.

Definitely not child's play, and a valid route to run Linux on 8-bit.
It's the former; most energy is returned to space. Not that much energy is stored in biological systems on the macro scale -- heat waves cause wildfire, not the reverse. Besides, to keep homeostasis or anything resembling it, energy in needs to roughly equal energy out.

Also vegetation is pretty terrible with absorbed energy efficiency. I mean, for goodness sake's it's green, the color right in the peak of the Sun's spectrum. That means the best wavelengths are all reflected. This is a feature, as it really helps quite a bit with keeping albedo higher, even in dark forests, for the purposes of preventing runaway global warming.
This.

Many React projects use JSX, decorators and class properties to the max, so they needed babel in the first place.

Now if you want to add types, Flow is easier to integrate than switching to another compiler.

Well, Green ideology (environmentalism, recycling etc.) is also a religion IMO. It has rituals, it has targets of hate and love, it has a promise of salvation and a threat of doom, it requires daily sacrifices of convenience to follow, etc.

Whereas if you're very loose about what you think is religion, you can't use the word by analogy any more. Any old ritual might be described as a religion. A morning commute might be a religion. I think that's too dry.
OT: When will 2.0 finally released?

Speaking as the person who implemented JSX support for TypeScript, I question the premise! JSX support (and implementation of React semantics for typechecking that JSX) was a very popular feature request. I can tell you just from how quickly people notice when something JSX-related changes in the nightly build that there are a lot of people using TypeScript with React.

Also, since this seem to be a popular misconception, JSX support in TypeScript is not wedded to React. The default JSX target is React, but you can set JSX to "preserve" and get very vanilla semantics as well as keeping the JSX in the emitted code so you can pipe it through a custom transformer.

The question also points out that the reader is looking at lots of tutorials -- it should be unsurprising that these don't use TypeScript as it's an optional thing that would only increase the concept count in an educational setting where you want to only show the thing you're trying to explain.

If you need a notable React + TypeScript project, see the Delve team's write-up of their use of TypeScript - https://medium.com/@delveeng/why-we-love-typescript-bec2df88...

Linux can already run on MMU-less systems (CONFIG_NOMMU). GCC already supports AVRs, though you may have to tweak the backend a bit so ints are 32-bit wide etc.

These are not the big issues in porting the Linux kernel to an AVR. The major problem is that AVR is Harvard architecture and there's probably tons of assumptions in the kernel that code and data resides in the same memory space.
I know.

I just wanted to know when 2.0 will be officially released and it seems like never, since they already at 2.1, lol
yeah! There is too much thing yet to explore since I'm using this for some 7 years. Too many things untouched and amazed me.

Rhetorical question: If writing the emulator was the “crux”, then why doesn’t the headline mention it? Why isn’t the whole article about it? I would certainly have upvoted and whole-heartedly lauded a story entitled “An 32-bit ARM emulator for an 8-bit CPU”.

Instead, they used the headline and article content to heavily imply to actually have ported Linux to an 8-bit processor. It’s not until into about half the article that they reveal the emulation bit. Therefore, click bait, pure and simple.
