Having multiple email accounts like most people (including exchange emails for work) Apple mail has been the only email client I've ever enjoyed using since it's not super fancy and doesn't feel bulky or ugly. It's clear which email I'm sending from and works relatively quickly. I also like not having to have another tab in my browser always open just for email and this is one of those cases I'm okay with an application always open like a terminal. I looked into nydus but having to have create another account to access my emails seemed odd to me.
The downvote button should be banished is my only constructive criticism.

As far as the rest, I'm largely right there with you. I also use what you call the "second conscious voice" as well, and agree it's extremely helpful if not abused, plus some of the other stuff too.

I used to live in Seattle btw but back in Europe for a while at the moment otherwise would have loved to chat.

You sound to be on a good path. Best.
Tell HN: Happy Easter
Hey, I just wanted to tell y'all happy Easter and that we're all in this together. I just spent my first Easter apart from my family, and I wanted to use this time to let some other loners know that we are in this together.

I'm trying out a side project social network that's ad-free and text-only: https://postbelt.com

I built it in response to the same frustrations you describe. The only catch is that it's paid :-) I want to explore if a noise-free social network can be built, and the only way I think it's sustainable is with a small subscription fee.

Please check it out, if the idea interests you.
They needed to describe the features of the device to explain why it was important they be able to keep that particular device with them - that they were being deprived of something more critical than the mere inconvenience of "just rent a substitute vehicle".

I was on the Jococruise so I can confirm that both port stops were tendered - I imagine what a pain it would be to get a standard motorized cart on and off the tender boats - they don't seem designed to handle that use case at all well.
Robots do better work without breaks, rest, coffee and in many cases without even occupying physical space. We're on the edge of automating driving, one of the most complex and demanding tasks humans do on a regular basis. The benefits for the companies are infinite: a completely docile workforce of robots that don't need anything but a steady flow of power. There is no reason to suspect any jobs are safe any more.

It's not a conspiracy, it's a cost/benefit chart that any responsible executive is going to be looking at.

I hear you. Pains me it won out instead of i960 with an emulation mode for backward compatibility. Far as learning on x86, there's two counterpoints come to mind:

1. Most sample code out there for "real" OS's might be x86. Most projects that aren't embedded will target it. So, might bite the bullet for that reason.

2. Other reason is if the end goal is to improve software on x86 hardware. As in, learner explicitly wants to take advantage of high-performance, x86 chips or code.

A shortcut might be porting more sample OS's to non-x86 CPU's. They learn each thing for simple architecture followed by ugly one later. Alternatively, abstract away what one can like Fluxkit project did. That was how a number of OS's were built in high-level languages without having to redo all the low-level stuff.

It's been several months since I used Draft, but if I remember correctly some of the editors based on Draft use same approach with defining custom data on the node and then applying custom class with assignment (for example you end up with: `<p class="align-right">Text Text Text</p>`). Too hacky for me. I would have loved if Nodes had native style suppord. Kind of like a Mark but applied to the whole root node instead of character ranges.

> it doesn't handle text alignment "out of the box"

That's quite alright. ProseMirror doesn't handle that out of the box too. A lot of new frameworks for rich editors surprisingly don't have that.
I wish these libraries didn't invent their own document model when we already have HTML. Just let me edit HTML, within constraints setup by a schema, and allow extensibility of the document via HTML custom elements.

There's more details about the causes of the failure at that URL:

> the refrigeration chillers shut down due to “high head pressure” conditions. Essentially, the chillers were not able to reject their heat through the condenser water system—heat instead of cold circulated through the freezer.

> Compounding matters, the system monitoring the freezer temperatures failed due to a database corruption. The freezer’s computer system was actually sending out alarm signals that the temperature was rising, but those signals never made it to the university’s service provider or the on-campus control centre.

To properly increase ability to respond to failure conditions use of an in-situ system (that doesn't depend on any additional infrastructure) that monitors the temperature before and after the evaporators and if they are adding heat rather than removing it (like what happened in this failure case), would be extremely useful -- indeed, this is one of the proposed changes: "The refrigeration system will also be modified to improve performance during failures, such as shutting down the evaporators in the event of a condenser failure."

As for redundancy, a secondary set of chillers would provide less protection than expected -- they'd likely be running on the same condenser water system and exposed to the same conditions and abuse as each other. Since the melted cores were so expensive to get, implementing an independent refrigeration mechanism (the same way nuclear reactors have alternative cooling mechanisms) that isn't vulnerable to common-cause failures is an utterly sensible approach and should have been done.

A method of providing such a backup source of refrigeration would be liquid nitrogen cooling -- universities/research labs tend to already have bulk cryogenic tanks of liquid nitrogen (that get refilled regularly from a Praxair or Air Liquide liquid nitrogen truck), so provision of LN2 is no issue. In the worst case, an additional LN2 tank would have to be installed to ensure that there's always enough LN2 on-site to last long enough until either alternative emergency refrigeration can be arranged (via emergency chiller rental) or the normal chillers can be repaired. Such a reserve tank would not incur prohibitive expenses and its normal gaseous boil-off can be used as gas nitrogen supply just like the main tank's boil-off.

All that would be needed is a connection from the LN2 tank to the ice core storage facility, a proper set of evaporators/heat exchangers/fans that work with LN2 as cooling fluid, and also a control system that, upon detection of anomalous conditions, shuts off and isolates the normal chillers and activates the LN2 backup cooling system.

There's very few common points of failure between the normal chillers and the LN2 system, and the LN2 system doesn't cool with electrical power and so wouldn't be affected by electrical outages.

It's just the cyberization of the economic, psychological, and ideological warfare that has existed... Well, probably since always, but I've heard of at least to the 1600s and the birth of the modern nation-state.

Nations have always jockeyed for economic advantage, harmed the cohesion of rival nations (eg, psyops and funding dissidents), and advanced groups in those nations ideologically sympathetic to themselves. Sometimes it spills in to small scale conflicts or actual revolutions or wars.

Well, you should mistrust any photo gear recommendations that don't start with a question asking you what you are trying to accomplish (photographically speaking) in the first place.

You could buy a camera that's generally accepted by reviewers as one of the best cameras, but it still may not be right for you.

As with most things technical, I find that camera people fall into a bunch of different biased groups, and that tends to shade their recommendations.
I don't get this attitude at all... Have you ever worked for a tech company with inspired people who liked to build things? I have a mid 2014 fully loaded MBP.

Somewhere, in a drawer, I've got an expensive watch that has 4 divisions on the face for 12, 3, 6, and 9. So far so good. Each quarter of the watch face is then divided in half by a mark. WTF? Who wants a watch with exactly 8 marks around the perimeter for 12 hours?

Unfortunately it was a gift from a significant other so I just put up with it for a few months and then stopped wearing it.
I think 'genius' is more about tuning the innate plasticity of a child's mind to be good at a certain type of task. World class chess players see positions and variations like how 'normals' might recognize an old friend. The 'creative' part comes in when you have brain that is marvelously tuned for one thing, you can iterate and experiment very quickly.

I'm not going to bother dissecting the logical fallacies and projection oozing from your post. Instead I'll point out the factual inaccuracy: The author does not provide a "one-idea panacea". He uses a single over-arching idea (rent) and shows the subtle ways in which it pervades our society and economy. He then concludes with a laundry list of possible solutions (the "panacea") and alludes to even more. The author is under no illusion that this is a simple problem to solve. The illusion appears to be your own.
But then, why should particular individuals capture such massive capital when their success has more to with circumstance than anything else ?

It's also funny how we make heroes out of corporations themselves, not only their heads : technological advance is often attributed to some specific companies, and we don't see that as appropriation of the results of particular circumstances, but as a sign of the performance of this company.

However; Would there be no XXXXX if we didn't live in an environment that attributes the results of circumstances to specific individuals ? I really don't know.
Try this:

Take a blackberry and try typing a sentence without looking at it. That's what it feels like. I had the same question and even thought about prototyping a hardware, but thank god I tried pseudo experiments before doing that.

Laptop keyboards work without looking because the keys are large enough that once you lock in your two index fingers onto the little bumps on F and J keys the rest depends on your muscle memory, but that's not the case for mobile devices.

But what really seals the deal is even if you somehow manage to pull off the haptic feedback part, you're trying to make people relearn an entirely new way of typing it's almost like learning a new keyboard layout. Just like dvorak keyboard never caught on even though it was much more efficient, unless there's a significantly next level benefit, it will be very tough to get people to use them.

That's why I had the same idea and played around with several ideas on this, and then decided that it wouldn't work. The benefit was not worth all the hassle.

There are tradeoffs that a DSLR makes to provide a through the lens optical viewfinder and phase detection autofocus. Mechanical complexity of a moving mirror and the bulk of a pentaprism in addition to the mirror bulk are among them. For some applications and some people the tradeoff is worth it for others it isn't.

If smaller size and lighter weight are more important then a mirrorless is more likely to be better.

If you mean Block Styling like here: https://draftjs.org/docs/advanced-topics-block-styling.html#...

Than yes - that is certainly a one way to handle it. However this approach would apply a some alignment-related CSS class instead of applying style to the block itself.

Here's what Draft.js would return:

I would prefer if it was:

As an American patriod I support neither the NSA nor the unconstitutional American police state.

But to oppose the idea of meddling in the international banking system is to oppose the very idea of an intelligence service.

Such meddling is the core mandate of organized intelligence. It's exactly what all intelligence services have done since time immemorial. Following the money is the oldest trick in the book.
There is nothing "communist" about the article. It is a critique of the flaws of our existing crony capitalist economies and how the real "welfare" is provided mostly to the elite. It concludes not with some call to junk capitalism and have the state run everything, but instead with advice on modifications we could make to fix the flaws and allow capitalism to work a little more like we all believe it does.
All globally-competitive countries are doing this to all other countries. I'd be very shocked if Iran's intelligence agencies didn't have (either in the past, or presently) some level of access to our financial systems.

It's pretty absurd to suggest we would kill people just because we caught a spy agency snooping on us. We've caught and rebuked foreign spy agencies all the time. The usual punishment is covert retaliation (escalating malware attacks, etc.), and the times when it isn't covert (like with the Russia revelations), responses usually involve sanctions and condemnation.

NSA would be doing the American people a disservice if they weren't competing with the rest of the spy agencies out there. It's just a fact of life. We just want them to do it without warrantless mass surveillance of US citizens.

>It was proven that the CIA had knowledge about the attack before it happened...

They didn't. To suggest they did is to allege a massive conspiracy. They received hints it might happen, but intelligence agencies receive tens of thousands to millions of pieces of new information per week, 99.99% of which turns out to be nothing. You can apply this argument to almost every war or attack in history (including Pearl Harbor). Sieving the signal out of the noise isn't easy.

I'm an American but neither a nationalist nor a patriot. I just realize they're doing their job. I also realize and acknowledge Russia wouldn't be doing its job properly if they didn't try to influence the Presidential election.
STAR MAGAZINE'S “HOLLYWOOD ROCKS” ANNUAL EVENT (2017)
The 2008 financial crisis also happened in rather recent times and was possible the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. How should people be positive to agencies like NSA when they are messing around in the bank systems that have such a large impact of peoples lives? Imagine if we had this news article in 2008 and instead of NSA and the middle east banks it was some hostile country to the USA sitting there in the US bank system. Would we have given them the benefit of the doubt?
Yes. Turns out kids are part of society too.
Exactly, and I just don't get why the average Joe is so motivated to defend large corporate decisions these days. Maybe it's a way to demonstrate that they know something about business and identify as "intelligent people?" I.e. "Well they wouldn't make as much then, you idiot - and why people who think like you aren't intelligent enough to work for them!" Anyone who has worked for a company the size of Apple should realize these all-or-nothing arguments aren't realistic. We have a lot of history of companies in tech rising and falling now, and anyone educated in that history has the ability to interpret Apple's recent choices as statements for what kind of legacy they want to create going forward...

Automated driving on an industrial scale is still decades into the future. And even when it comes, arguing that it will be a huge, earth-shaking change seems far fetched.

Like I said, it's the general trend (we could talk about automations on the same scale as your human driver example that have already happened), but the alarmism is not justified.

I love coding, and I am 40. Can I still become a developer – and is it worth it?
I am very passionate about coding: I started to program when I was 11 (that was 1988) and I never stopped. Later on I got my Computer Science degree. And then started to work, but never as a "full time" coder.

I have been managing the networks, the firewalls and the proxies, the linux machines, the windows desktops, the active directory, the databases, etc. and I quite enjoyed it. I also did a plenty of other boring stuff, but luckily I have always been doing some coding in my "spare" work time - from automating things to writing complete web apps (Perl/Html/JQuery/MySQL) - and more recently I have been developing the company's DWH.

Anything related to coding is what I really enjoy!
While I have a varied experience of programming languages and libraries, I didn't really have the opportunity to "master" any of them. Only SQL I mastered.

Now I am considering moving to another country (SG, for personal reasons).

How can I become a full time coder? Can I apply to a Senior coding position? Or should I apply to a Junior position hoping to become Senior soon? But being Junior at 40 doesn't sound right to me...

Maybe I'll just have to abandon the idea of being a full time coder, and just apply to some other positions using some other skills....
What do you think?
Thanks for the extra info!

According to the article this was indeed the only station-to-station transfer, and although very cool I am not sure exactly why would you do it except for some emergency or for building up a new station out of parts from others like you suggested.

Do you have any idea what use would there be for a s-to-s transfer? I'm guessing it's more expensive and dangerous than launching a specific mission from Earth, so the use would be limited. Maybe to test some emergency procedure a-la Gravity (the movie)?

It would be really cool if there was some other big space station so that this would be something to think about... but oh well, I guess having the ISS will have to suffice for now.... It's not like I have the money to build my own unfortunately :(
That's not what substance farming means. Plantations sold crops for profit to buy thing such as slaves or raw materials. Nails require mining to produce Ore and have nothing directly to do with farming. So, yes plantations may have been reasonably self sufficient, but that has more to do with transportation and transaction costs than everyone working in a field somewhere.

PS: Rememebr prior to the revolution the US was sending a great deal of wealth back to England. The even then the colonies enjoyed a relatively high standard of living at the time.
