Memory palaces are not some magic thing which store images permanently in your head. You need to use spaced repetition with them if you want to achieve that effect.
I can easily use the same palace/journey to store one list after another (in competition or in daily use cases). I know my palaces and if I want them clear then I simply see them clear, it is that easy, absolutely nothing is confusing.
People are trying to analyze it too much instead of just using this very simple technique :)
Because it is baffling.

None of the complainers seem to be able to say exactly WHY the new MacBooks are bad.

• They complain about performance when they're the fastest MacBooks ever, surpassing many competitors and with a very good battery charge-to-perforamce ratio, not to mention the best display ever on a MacBook.

• They complain about needing "5 dongles" when you need at most 1 USB/USB-C adapter + sometimes a multiport hub or dock, for almost any use case.

• That one guy keeps calling it an emoji keyboard, when there aren't any emoji on the keyboard.

• They complain of not being able to touch-type when the physical keyboard is still there.

• They complain about noise when these are the quietest MacBook Pros ever, and without willing to show what they're comparing it with.

• They say Apple is losing favor with customers when the new MacBooks have outsold everything and Apple has continued to top rankings and stock prices.

So yeah. I have the thing in my hands, and I use it daily, and there really hasn't been a better MacBook before. I DO concede that they may be priced a bit too steeply.

Meanwhile I only see complaints from people who have clearly never even used the things! It's pretty obvious with their "emoji keyboard" and "dongles everywhere" hyperbole, like going back to the old "Micro$oft" and "Windoze" days.

So of course I have to wonder and ask: By WHAT metric are they bad? I can only chalk it down to a concentrated anti-PR effort, or some desperate brand envy (e.g. adamantly putting the blame for LG's monitors — that have now been fixed, by the way — on Apple.)
The only part that is on point is about "making a statement". And that statement is via the brand, not via the watch itself. Sadly these days Apple is more fashion brand than anything else. Straddling the line between fashion and affordability. Heck, that may always have been the case with Apple beyond the initial AppleII runs. At least while Jobs was in charge.
Adding www Doesn't make any sense for URL shorteners for example.
The same occurs on media like Twitter where chars are counted and "precious": using www. adds 4 chars to the message (in theory, since those url shorteners are in help).

Another detail I've noticed since wide adoption of browsers that include a single combined url/search entry field. Most people don't even care about the exact URL, they just enter the name they believe the website is, and let the search engine do the job if mistyped or inexistant. (That leads to phishing attacks).
> On HN the culture is not to spell everything out. That has nothing to do with hiding anything—the information is all out there and the community knows how to find it. It has to do with respecting users' intelligence, liking minimalism, and so on.

My theory on this (why) dates back to many years ago and in particular and oddly enough when I started (and ended) listening to Howard Stern in the 80's. (Haven't heard the show since then...)

I noticed that there were all sorts of people who appeared regularly. And you didn't know who they were or what role they actually played. And you didn't until you spent enough time listening to Stern that you were able to understand (or maybe triangulate or reverse engineer) who they were. There was no FAQ.

In a sense online communities are like that. If you are not willing to put in the time to make those connections the 'community' is just as glad to not have you there. Then it's their special thing.

The thing is I don't think that is the right way to be if what you want is knowledge and diverse viewpoints. There could easily be another 'grellas' (as only one example that comes to mind) that would add greatly to the content (comments or posted stories) and they very well might be turned off by not knowing the ropes and feeling it wasn't worth the effort to stick around long enough to find out.

What's interesting as a side note is how much money has been made in the computer business exploiting the secret handshake. Understanding of course that there are those that like the satisfaction that comes with figuring that out. (And I think that computer nerds like to have that secret handshake as it gives them power over non-nerds).

That picture wasn't quite what I was thinking of. I think the name might be "Mietskasernen"? Basically you have a square "Hof" or courtyard in the middle of a square apartment complex where the bike rack and recycle bins will be and apartments look down into it. And through the courtyard is how you enter the individual apartment. Is Mietskasernen the correct term?
Many people will say Leipzig, and it's true to a certain extent. Berlin is very unique in its tolerance. As you move eastward in Europe, that may not be the case.

I experience this depression constantly. It's very rare to find people or places using Erlang, the community is extremely small and seemingly getting smaller all the time, and new things attempting to approximate its core strengths (often badly or incompletely) keep coming to the market and only further exacerbating the situation.

So I end up stuck working with crappier tech, crappier tools, and dealing with the effects of fewer and fewer resources going into improving the last 5% of annoying things about Erlang. While a deluge of resources go into partially reinventing the first 50% of it over and over again in some other random language.

1. Marx wasn't a sociologist.

2. There are quite a few economists around that would wholeheartedly disagree with your statement that his predictions were falsified.

3. Microeconomic theories are falsified every day in actual interactions. It just doesn't matter.

4. Those who say they know what's true are either ... whatever. They most likely aren't scientists at work.

Actually, she had a plan, and had the technical/ bureaucratic/ legal backing to make It.

Trump, had and has not come up with a concrete plan as I recall. His current plan seems to be to... I don't know actually.

Just opposing the TPP doesn't make a case for trump winning votes and the presidency.

Trump had other actual statements, like "i will not let ford shut this plant down, and send jobs to Mexico!"

Let's not forget: "we'll start hitting those people where it hurts the most!" Those people being immigrants and China, who were "taking all the jobs."

hillary believed that most people would be rational and not vote for someone that obviously against what America stood for. He has had more scandal in his run for office than I've seen in many imaginative tv shows.

It seems, when it came down to it, people chose to vote for their party. Even if whatever trump said or did, was against what they held as the standard for a president.
Bugs become a lot more persistent, for one. "Reset it and see if it goes away" stops working nearly as well.
Frankly the only thing that could make them change anything is by them being able to tell us more about or bodily state at a glance. And i am not talking about something superficial as pulse, but something deeper.

Frankly smartwatches are stuck in the same stats game as phones have been since Apple kept hammering built in storage.

We need more like the CAT S60, and less "higher numbers on stat X, Y and Z".

It is the only recent phone that could even get close to the often touted comparison between smartphones and tricorders. Because tricorders were first and foremost a sensors package, telling the away team things about their surroundings that their senses could not.
This is a great idea! I subscribed immediately.
Except don't 'force' them! These is very central to the whole practice: you make things worse by forcing, your mind settles on its own if you just learn how to not disturb it for a sufficient amount of time. (Source: hundreds of hours studying meditation literature and listening to lectures, daily practice for ~2 years.)

A common example is to compare the mind to the surface of some body of water: it starts rough and active and you'd like it to be still. However, any mental action you take in attempt to still it (as opposed to allowing it to settle on its own) is akin to using your hands to 'settle' the water's surface; you just disturb it more.

There are faster drives. Load is just one factor in database design.

For example, if you want fast query returns, the speed of light will limit you if you're using one machine and your query comes from around the world. Then there's the whole high availability thing.

My point is that This is an advocacy issue, not a design issue.

"broad statement that it's impossible for it not to be true?" - Do you have more examples of these ?
First, I want to thank the guys behind HN and Dang for being very open about any HN vested interests. I have no doubt HN tries hard to be honest. No complaints here.

That being said, I am very suprised you mentioned "drop of evidence". It is very upsetting you said that. There is hard evidence.

The fact is: There are may dishonest people in this world. They may justify their honesty, but that's not the point. See the PLETHORA of dishonest reviews (with proof) on Amazon, Yelp, Ebay, etc. And HN is the perfect place to game comments/upvotes/topics, and you bet it is. Firstly, it's simple to game HN. Actually, too easy. And the returns are really good. The audience are high-income earners, and intelligent people. The topics can be very niche (which means highly targeted). In fact the mentality that "HN can't be gamed" is better for the gamers, since other HN users will really believe most comments are genuine.

HERE'S THE DEAL:

I will do a project "for free" for the public good. This will hopefully establish proof. If I am allowed by HN legally, I will show my study of how I can easily, massively game HN. And you will not but able to detect it. I will not make money of this, but I will provide detailed statistics about traffic and CTA clicks. I will provide a dollar value of the fruits of my gaming, if it was to be real. I would be just one person doing this in my spare time. When the fruits are so sweet, PR companies will employ full-time paid individuals and maybe even teams.

P.s. Dang, I know you try hard to remove "shill" comments /upvotes /topics. Yes, you catch the amateurs. But the whole point of shilling is to blend in be undetectable. You don't and simply cannot catch those. And on a seperate, there was a study that "doctors who believe they cannot be gamed/bribed, are actually the most gamed/bribed".

Not a native speaker, but have studied Japanese linguisticly (as well as as a second language).

Wa is a bit of a complicated topic. The prevailing thinking is (roughly) that it has two distinctive meanings: topic marking, and contrastive. As a topic marker, wa does not introduce the subject (although in many cases, there is a null anaphora referring to the topic).

In anycase, the common linguistic explanation for shiro's correction is that the subject of subordinate clauses resists topicalization.

No, I do not misunderstand -- I design products, as in things which are produced. Arduino is not for making products.
Your confusion stems from what kind of beginner the author means. You read it as "total beginner to anything vaguely related to microcontroller programmer". I assume the authors means it as "has programmed stuff with microcontrollers before but never made a hardware design from scratch yet". After all, picking a microcontroller is a design/architecture choice more than a programming choice.
Globalization is a mixed blessing in the short term, a good thing in the longer term because it allows other nations that otherwise would most likely starve to slowly pull themselves out of their misery.

On that scale the people you empathize with are doing spectacularly well, and have plenty of options. Once wages go up the local economy develops a middle class and becomes self sustaining companies may move on to the next low wage country but the effects remain.

That not everybody in a single country benefits from this (especially not the blue collar workers in the wealthier countries, especially those unwilling to adapt) is sad, but as much or more caused by automation than by work flowing to low wage countries. The disparity is so great that that work will not come back, no matter what.

Whatever was wrong with the DNC that it forced you to vote against your interests and those you claim to care for is beyond me, I just can't follow that kind of reasoning. Hillary Clinton was far from the ideal candidate but she'd be immensely better for your country than Trump is, and everything that has happened so far has both underlined that and has more or less been predicted beforehand.

Make no mistake: Bannon et al are out to destroy the United States as you know it to reshape it in to a much smaller pond in which they are the bigger fish.

Newer developments will have commercial spaces on the ground floor, but a problem is that rents are generally higher, so it limits the types of shops that open up there.

In San Francisco, I've talked to the owners of a few bikeshops, and they have good relationships with their landlords. The landlords are willing charge less rent because they feel the neighborhood needs certain types of shop. A commercial developer may not share these same ideals.

>"If there are indeed buildings being constructed for the sole purpose to "stash cash" as you say, then the law against misuse of real estate property"

I wasn't speaking about Berlin specifically for that comment only that its happening in many places in the world - San Francisco, New York, London. I linked to two articles describing it different cities. So the "market will sort itself out" neo-lib doctrine you mentioned has largely failed working class and indeed middle class which are the majority compared to the wealthy.
It's not unheard of in smaller towns of Appalachia and even Charlotte. The larger gangs scared off the black tar purveyors.
> So, we ask ourselves what is the reason the smartwatch hasn't replaced the traditional watch?

Because I just don't need it. I get only a dozen emails and whatsapp messages a day, I might spent at max an hour per week talking on the phone and my current schedule is very simple (e.g. wake up in the morning and drive to work).

There is just no way how a smart watch could improve my day.

I can see some usecases if you are a very busy person with a crammed schedule but for normal person there is just no need to have one.

I suspect such places will always emerge? A while ago I saw a documentary about Bremen, where apparently large amounts of flats are empty and can be rented for 1€/month. Maybe cities like that could become new destinations for artists?

The situation of Berlin is of course quite unique because of the wall.

Also, maybe artists not only need cheap rents, but also wealthy patrons. I don't know.
Not to mention static analysis tools that should detect one easily. Covert-channel analysis, required in security certs since 1980's, can find most information leaks. Some tooling existed for it, too. Use-after-free prevention is trickier on static analysis with only one, mainstream language doing temporal safety w/out GC's. So, 2 out of 3 easily prevented/caught with stuff decade or more old.
>b. A SHA256 repository can communicate with SHA-1 Git servers and clients (push/fetch).

Wouldn't fetching from a sha-1 repository degrade security? I think it would be better to show a warning (similar to how openssh does with 1024 bit dsa keys) every time you try to fetch from a SHA-1 git repo.
Same for pushing a signed commit to a sha-1 repository.
>In the meantime, IDEs for web development are a few and are not very customizable by my needs

personally i hardly need anything beside emacs and zsh terminal on my 7y/o thinkpad t410. that said i do understand that different people need different tools. hope you find what you need.

I'd second this: the way you deal with distraction isn't stopping it, it's calmly returning to the object of focus after realizing you've been distracted. This is a 'rep' if you want to compare meditation to training a muscle. In time you get distracted less, but it's not because you 'stop yourself' from getting distracted, it's because in time your tendency to not getting distracted develops through meditation practice.
This obviously doesn't work everywhere, but I just want to say it's really awesome that it's possible altogether. Great work!
That's the crux backers are lying to themselves about. The game doesn't exist and has already made more money than most blockbusters. Why waste profit developing it when you've already had your payday?

The best thing to do from a business perspective is just enough "development" to keep lawsuits at bay. In the meantime you start throwing as much money as you can off the train and jump clear right before it flies off the tracks.
Mandelbrot cites his ability to "think in pictures" as fundamental to his process and insights.

He offers some interesting reflections and anecdotes on this subject in this interview describing his classes préparatoires aux grandes écoles. Apparently his teacher considered him a total wildcard case who would either flunk the exams or pass with flying colours, because of his habit of approaching everything through geometric intuition rather than symbolic manipulation.
