I saw a talk on Friday about designing interfaces for people with locked in syndrome. It turned out that to be effective they needed to design for increasing cognitive load rather than reducing it.

As everyone knows, how and when to employ a principle is the key!

There's a great report from the UK that analyzes the losses of stranded fossil assets if we're to hit our climate change goals. It says that in order to cap at 2C warming we can only pull up 1/4 of our existing proven reserves, and only 1/3 to cap at 3C. That means stranding over 2/3rds of our fossil assets. Also, the situation heavily favors producers who have cheap assets, which are mostly sovereign producers in the middle east. The private producers like Shell end up having to strand way more than 2/3rds because the get pushed out due to low prices.

"All photos published on Unsplash are licensed under Creative Commons Zero" implies literally nothing beyond CC0, in which case they could just say CC0 and not try to confuse their intended (license-wary) audience.

(edit: clarity)
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I do notice there are quite a few lighter images on Unsplash nowadays, so the white text will be hidden on those. Will add the shadows to the text as you suggested to make it work better.

I'll investigate those Firefox issues too - I did most of the testing in Chrome, Safari and IE, but will do some more on FF to ensure it works OK on all browsers.

If traffic gets really high on our site, I may resort to locally hosted images to reduce load time. Unsplash.it may also be throttling the image load time for us, as I am thinking the sudden spike from this HN post may have alerted them to the fact that there is suddenly a flurry of remote calls to them from our server IP? Or perhaps the Amazon CloudFront CDN is causing a slow down there? I will investigate - thanks for your useful feedback.

I found it by reading the Wikipedia's article on map-territory relation, which I came to know by reading a blog post about Cyberpunk on RibbonFarm. I'm having a blast. The book is a collection of essays in many matters, including anthropology, biology, psychology and others.

I'm surprised about people who get so much mileage out of their MacBooks. Is the 13'' that much better, or are people just doing a lot of light work?

I usually work from a café these days, and I go from 100% to 0% in about 4 hours (15'' Retina, Mid 2015). I mostly run VSCode, Vagrant, Safari, Slack, Spotify and Terminal. Of these, Spotify, Terminal, Slack and Safari are easily the most energy-sucking apps.

What's the laptop market like in Japan anyway? I don't really know a lot about it, but it's always interesting to see these random Panasonic or Fujitsu laptops not sold here, or those rare Japan-exclusive experimental ThinkPads.
It's easy to blame the people and the gov't for pollution, but having lived in both India and China the story is quite different. You have swathes of population that need employment . In order to keep the economy productive you have to have manufacturing activity. To support the manufacturing activity one must produce energy. Naturally coal being abundant and cheap becomes the first choice for governments to use for energy production. While we can criticise the coal plants for being polluting without them there is no source of employment. Most renewables are too expensive/unreliable to use and nuclear power plants alway come along with a lot of controversy.

Another thing to note is that the overall pollution per capita in India or China is far less than any of the western nations. Its just that these countries have way too many people in too less space.

As for schools closing due to pollution, I can say that this is common all across asia. The thing is many of the industries that pollute go unchecked partly due to corruption and partly due to the fact that if they are fined they will just withdraw from the area of operation causing many to loose their means of living. In a place like india this becomes a question of life or death because many earn too less to save enough.

The question that lies ahead is more "how can we solve this issue" than to lay blame. Perhaps the government needs to look at what the pollution is made up of and specifically target those industries.
This seems like old-is-new waxing, reaching for some reason the old way is better.

It does, that's the point of syntax highlighting. This isn't a good thing(tm).

I tried not highlighting a bunch of times, it's called switching from my IDE to vi for whatever reason. It's not better for me.

No. School start could be shifted to 9 AM or 10 AM. The clock should show 12 at noon. The clock is not the problem. The problem is that people are required to start their day at a too early time. Fix: increment the time requirements.
>Most people today don’t get their news ... They open a social media app

I'm not sure that's true. In a 2016 article Pew Research has TV as easily the number one source. http://www.journalism.org/2016/07/07/pathways-to-news/

I'd be more worried by Fox News than Facebook. Also Breitbart and the Daily Stormer can be scary experiences.
It shouldn't. As a 35 year old who never got a CS degree but currently works in a tech company in Osaka, the whole article scanned like it was mostly relevant 10 years ago to me.
No mention of the Radeon HD 8570 on the list of supported cards. Unless you know better?
I look at negative experiences (not emotions) the same way I look at lifting weights. It is a stimulus that can cause you to grow stronger. Much like you have to lift weights with proper technique to avoid injury, you have to learn to respond to negative events with the proper cognitive strategy to avoid suffering.

I don't think negative emotions are necessary, however. The benefit comes from learning to process negative events constructively, which people (sometimes) learn to do in order to avoid the pain.
Yep, that's an unfortunate side effect in both cases. It can encourage sloppy coding and sloppy rhetoric.

Seems to be caused by the too-cold liquid oxygen interacting with carbon elements. So either change how the tanks are pressurized with helium to prevent the oxygen getting too cold, and/or somehow insulate the carbon from the oxygen better. Neither seem like insurmountable problems.
So my question is what kind of thread model we're trying to design against.

Vox here seems to think that right-wingers generating click-baity bullshit is the big threat to democracy to design against. I agree that Breitbart et al. generate plenty more than their fair share of transparent bullshit. But I need strong evidence that that's actually a significant threat to the world.

What I see as the real threat is a cabal of the powerful defining strict limits on discourse to help generate consent around decisions that are toxic to most of the public and beneficial only to a small segment of it.

We've seen the latter happen recently: the Iraq War. You can get me to agree that the extreme nutty right believes lots of nutty, false things, but I don't see evidence that it has killed nearly as many people. Maybe if somehow Trump wins, and can attribute his win to false right wing bullshit, and he's actually as bad as the MSM says, it would work as evidence that that's a realistic threat model.

Then again, half a million dead bodies is a hard mountain to climb.
From what I heard, it costs a lot of money to purchase a competitive Magic deck, but the cards tend to hold their value so you can just sell them once you're done playing it.

Compare to, say, Hearthstone, where the digital cards have zero resale value, but the up front cost is substantially lower.

I don't think people could easily adjust to having the date and day of the week change every day at, say 2pm (for those on PST).
You can improve it by separating design into separate files (say header, footer, etc). Doing things from shell is not very much different from doing things from browser.

You can use very simple template language with sed or awk (just replace keywords with actual values for example).

Alternative: just rewrite it to command some template engine (no, I do not have any recommendations).

Edit: Positive side is that it is a single file, so I can see your point. But as the projects as multiple files anyway, it is perhaps still worth a consideration.
That figures. The previous version of this is almost supported in the upstream Linux kernel, so I guess we're probably due for a new model.
You'll make more money if you take the time to sell them one by one (or 4x sets if you have them). Selling your collection in bulk will make you lose 30-40% but it's less time consuming. Ebay is the place since trading sites will pay you wholesale prices (they have to make a profit retailing your cards).
So you want to abolish time zones
> 1) There's an irony that Vox of all companies is complaining that Facebook rewards click bait and punishes thoughtful pieces that require time to read and digest.

Yeah I had the same reaction. It was also somewhat rich that they cited a BuzzFeed article as evidence people are gaming our predilections for clickbait. Though, now that I think about it since it is clickbait, BuzzFeed would certainly be an expert there. And in a way, Vox also takes advantage of it. Here's a short selection of my favorite "Vox [explains x] in [<=500 words]" pieces.

Last one for kicks. To be fair to Vox, they do produce some long-form stuff and often link it at the bottom of these shorter pieces, but these explainers are not helpful and, I think, produce a rather shallow understanding of extremely complex issues.
And yet even with DST, kids in Alaska manage to get to school despite the sun coming up at 10am. This whole "for the kids@ argument is the worst one.

Most workers today would prefer going to work in the dark and having daylight after work. Even farmers will tell you DST doesn't make a diffence to them anymore (or ever). The animals get up with the sun regardless of what the clock says.

I agree with OP -- in today's modern world we should just stick with DST all year.

Beijing's solution for the Olympics was to shut off the offending factories for the duration, and take other similar temporary measures. Once they were over it was back to usual, and has been getting steadily worse ever since. I've visited every two years or so since the early 2000s and it has become amazingly bad. On bad days, it's highly unpleasant to be outside. We'd plan different activities based on it, like you might plan around rain in a more sane place.

The government has tried various half-hearted measures to fight the problem. For example, cars are banned from the roads on certain days based on their license plate numbers. Of course, many Chinese people who can afford a car can afford two, so it's fairly easily worked around. Cars aren't the major cause of the problem anyway, so it's a bit pointless. The people don't seem to care all that much, so there isn't much motivation to fix it.

I really hope they can figure it out, but for right now, Beijing's handling of pollution isn't a good model for anybody.

>I have a hard time imagining how all of this happens in a place like this without a social network.

It's customary, when you move in, to knock on your immediate neighbor's doors and introduce yourself. The full-blown cheesy 1950s housewife thing to do is offer homemade baked goods to whoever just moved in. My dad frequently borrowed and lent woodworking tools with the neighbor on one side, and I walked a dog after school for the neighbor on the other side. We'd have each other over for dinner occasionally. We chat over the fences while letting our dogs out or walking to our garages. We run into other families we know at the parks.

Entertaining other families in your home is a big deal in suburbia. Everyone has the space for it, and most families put a great deal of money and effort into making that space welcoming and impressive for guests.

Beyond that, most social life revolves around children: parents who pick their kids up from school (mixture of on foot and in cars) stand around and chat while waiting for their kids to be released. They invite each other over for dinner, form book clubs and knitting circles, converse while picking up and dropping off children from playdates, on the sidelines at youth sports, in the auditorium lobby before school performances and PTA meetings, etc.

You won't see too many people interacting in the street or front yard in suburbia, and little more than dog walkers or pre-driving-age children on the sidewalk. But anytime you see a bunch of street-parked cars on a street where everyone has a garage, that's a dinner party. Smoke rising from a backyard, that's a BBQ or fire pit in use. Bicycles on the lawn, kids meeting at a friend's house.

Suburbia can be full of life, it's just not immediately visible.

I drop my kid off at daycare at the morning - 7:45 is the earliest they accept them. I don't have to be at work until 10, really.

I've been doing a lot of thinking during my walks there, and I've concluded that school starts at 8am so that parents can drop their children off before then, and still make it to work on time. That's it.

If you have UTC and solar time available, you don't need zone time anymore. If you need to coordinate with other people you use UTC. If you want to do things at a particular time of day you use solar time.

If you decide to go to work at, say, an hour after sunrise you get all the advantages of DST, anywhere in the world, without any of the disadvantages. The reason DST sucks is because of the way time zones force all time to be an even number of hours (yes, I know there are exceptions, but the principle still holds).
Ask HN: Making a voice-controlled digital assistant
This will be my first programming project. To start it'll be a simple alarm clock and eventually voice controlled lighting / whatever else I can think of.

I plan on using a door phone[0] installed near a drawer, wires leading to a compartment in the drawer with a Raspberry Pi on the inside and a speaker on the outside.

I've chosen voice to text[1] and text to voice[2] software and I'm generally good on wiring but beyond that I don't have much of an idea what making this will look like.

I'm starting as soon as my Pi comes in the mail.

Thoughts, ideas, concerns?

> Also there is no problem with switchable GPU's which is specific to nVIDIA anymore the Optimus chip is no longer used

Do you have a source for this? In any case, just because some hardware has been recently phased out doesn't mean the manufacturer shouldn't be expected to support it. Not everyone has enough money to buy a new computer every year; I'm a student with an Optimus laptop and I know I won't be able to afford a replacement in the next year or two.

If NVIDIA can't be asked to fully support their hardware on Linux, the least they can do is release some documentation so the Nouveau devs don't need to grope in the dark.

> I get a lot of (good-natured) crap from other developers because I always use a graphical tool to [...]

One of my colleagues uses PyCharm, while at the same time using Vim somewhere
else (for both Python and not Python). This frustrated me a little every time
he asked me to his terminal in a similar fashion I'm annoyed by somebody using
GUI for the simplest task I could do in a single command. In both cases I try
to keep comments to myself, at least now that I'm a little wiser than I was
five-to-ten years ago.

It takes a lot of patience not to throw such "good-natured crap" if one is
proficient with more-basic-yet-powerful tools. It needs wisdom to recognize
that people do things their own way because it's more effective for them at
the moment, and it's hard to change one's habits on a whim at arbitrary times.
It gives me much better results to call others to my terminal to show them
some interesting thing; they are in much better condition to learn a new Vim
command or CLI tool (this way I successfully exposed two colleagues to AWK,
what I planned for a long time).
Oddly, when working with calendar events, I found UTC to be unhelpful. In particular, consider the case of seeing an alarm for Friday at noon. If I happen to be traveling across the country this week, I don't want to remake my alarm.

This is more problematic for recurring events. If I set a weekly meeting at 11, I do not want it to move just because daylight savings time.

But thanks also for the feedback on the actual home page image. We are in the midst of (ironically) A/B testing that header image and have been rotating a few over the past weeks to see which ones have better clicking power. We've gone from abstract office shots to really corporate-y team and people shots etc. so appreciate any and all feedback!
So once I have all the archives, it ends up 2.4gb. Github won't take that without contacting them or paying for it, so for now I've uploaded it onto my own server. I'll make a gpg signature if anyone cares.

> water is going to start reaching toxic levels from rain pulling all the toxins out of the sky

Nah, that stuff in the sky is mostly carbon (from burning straw, and other low temperature fires) which is not toxic to drink (in fact at low levels it makes water taste sweet) and perhaps some random hydrocarbons which would rapidly decompose.

The worse stuff is various nitrogen compounds (acid rain), but even those don't accumulate in water. Those are made in engines, not from regular fires.

Drinking and breathing have very different profiles for what is toxic.
I don't mind ditching DST. It's a mess. Not sure why it's still in use.
