I agree wholeheartedly for fiction, where reading for enjoyment is concerned. But even good fiction deserves multiple reads. Where rereading is more of an essential is with non-fiction. Especially non-fiction that is read for the purpose of obtaining and using the information. A few examples would be The Selfish Gene, How To Win Friends And Influence People, Better Angels of Our Nature, and of course The Art of the Deal. Ok maybe not that last one.
What does delivery medium have to do with anything? I guarantee no kid knows the difference. They press channel up and channel down. It makes no sense why one would be upset over that.
Yeah, this is what I was thinking with the "rebel" approach.

A problem is that every budding internet entrepreneur thinks they are going to have a list of 10,000 in 6 months and be selling a $10,000 course to hundreds of people in a year. (That Ramit Sethi makes so much money off his $10k course is testament to this)

Most of them will never get to 1,000, and in the meantime, they're paying Aweber $20 / month.

So it requires getting them to accept more reality than they may be comfortable with to use a cheaper service for now and then switch to a high-cost one with fancy drip campaign features later when they need it.

I think it is far easier to sell big dreams for $20 / month than reality for $5 / month.
Ask HN: Do you still use the mouse?
I was wondering if people here are still using a mouse on a daily basis, and for which activities. I realized I don't touch a mouse since at least 4 or 5 years.

(In reality the reason I'm asking is that I'm starting to produce personalized mouse pads in aluminium, I'll be targeting gamers and graphic designers first, but wondering if there are other activities where mouse and high-precision matter. Thanks!)

Is it possible to damage human hearing with sufficiently loud pulses above 20Khz?

Most search results point to a miniscule wattage delivered by typical ultrasonic noises, but controlling for wattage, I feel like it might be possible to overdrive a high-frequency pulse to deliver more wattage in the same range.

My semi-related anecdote: I was working in Paris, and we'd frequently go for lunch at a pasta takeout place that was very conveniently located. The food was terrible and overpriced. 10 euro for a small box of pasta with some generic sauce. But there were always long queues of people there, because it was convenient.

One day we were walking there, complaining about it how cheap it must be to make such substandard fare. Someone suggested that we should get out of computer programming and start a pasta place: we'd serve the same shitty pasta and pasta sauce, but charge 5 euro instead of 10. We'd make a killing!

The boss was walking with us and remarked, boss-ly, "Why would you sell something for 5 euro when people are happily paying 10?"

I kicked myself for not even thinking of that.

Cultural sensitivity has increased, especially in the last 30 years or so. In the example of Egyptian mummies, they would be covered under the 1983 law of Protection of Antiquities.

There's an ongoing controversy around the Elgin Marbles, which were removed to London between 1801 and 1805, and many people believe they should be returned.

I think there's an increasing recognition that the historic behaviour of archaeologists removing artifacts for display wasn't necessarily acceptable, but addressing past wrongs is much harder than preventing new ones.

Just because you don't have a trait doesn't make that trait "obsolete."

By the way, a large majority of humans in the United States marry and even among the ones who don't marry a vast majority of them have dated. A large majority of people in the United States are not tall and muscular, we come in all shapes and sizes.

You may find this shocking but Women aren't uniform brainless sheep. Women come in all forms with all sorts of different things they find attractive. For example, I don't find muscles especially attractive and tallness does absolutely nothing for me. My husband is overweight and I don't mind a bit, doesn't distract from his attractiveness to me. Some women are even attracted to other women.

(Hint: it actually might be you since 99% of society can somehow manage to get a date)

Well, they can't, because the system might still fly apart at some future point. It is possible that these are close to periodic solutions, but to make it rigorous what they need to do is show that the principle of least action is satisfied for some configuration close to the approximations. This was done by Greg Minton well before the posted paper (abstract [1]).

Yes! How to Read a Book is amazing. We spend so much of our lives reading, yet very rarely view it as a skill which we can develop, nor do we have goals for our reading other than to absorb as much information as possible.

One of my favorite ideas from the book is the idea of reading for "enlightenment":

"It is true, of course, that you should be able to remember what the author said as well as know what he meant. Being informed is prerequisite to being enlightened. The point, however, is not to stop at being informed."

You don't just want to memorize what an author said, you want to elevate your level of "understanding" to a point where you understand the topic nearly as well as the author does! With that as a goal, your focus quickly shifts from reading 100 books in a year to properly educating yourself.
Definitely a great course.

Thanks for the clarification.

I recognize your point about solipsism. I am not certain (except for practical purposes) about anyone else's consciousness.

Perhaps it would help if I describe what seem to be phases of belief about consciousness (or perhaps it will merely sound presumptuous and not help at all...). One way this progression can happen is through meditation, which I see as the process of consciousness becoming increasingly aware of itself.

1. I can doubt my own consciousness. How do I know I'm not an automaton? This seems to be naasking's position. From past experience, I trust that it's not merely rhetorical. There is genuine uncertainty about any consciousness, and proofs of its nonexistence can be satisfying.

2. "Oh, THAT!" It is no longer meaningful to doubt my own consciousness. I may be wrong about its details, but the sheer fact of experience is indeed a fact and not an assumption. Attempting to doubt my own consciousness is nonsensical, because I recognize that (my) doubt occurs in consciousness.

3. Various features of conscious experience are exposed as illusory. I've never actually experienced the passage of time; it is always now, and a present memory and anticipation only suggest something called "time." I've never actually experienced a self; it used to seem that monktastic was recognizing consciousness, but now it's clear that consciousness is recognizing monktastic (monktastic is, after all, a conglomeration of memories, bodily textures and sights, etc.; whereas consciousness is that which experiences those). These are not merely intellectual understandings.

4. ...

It's remarkably hard to have conversations across these sorts of boundaries. Perhaps naasking is right, and what I am calling a progression is actually a regression. I'll leave that for each to decide for him/herself.

All I mean to say is that in (3), it is not satisfying to objectify consciousness. Yes, we may identify (seemingly) flawless correlations between objective phenomena and consciousness, but they do not constitute any sort of "explanation" for consciousness.

Perhaps all I am really saying is this: we both recognize that any objective explanation of consciousness is only true "up to solipsism / simulation," but for me, that asterisk is a showstopper and not just a curiosity that we can punt on. Not that we should stop exploring these things (and taking them seriously for practical purposes) -- any more than we should stop painting or dancing.
As to this:

“Have you seen someone here do great work that’s gone unnoticed?”

This is best handled by anonymous upvoting. Give every employee the power to upvote 3 people each month. That way the management can see if there are some "unknown" people who are getting upvotes.

Also, every employee should be given the power to anonymously downvote one person each month. This is the best way to find cases of racism, sexual harassment, and plain incompetence. Often with issues such as sexual harassment, people won't come forward because they don't have enough evidence, and even if they did come forward, management would be faced with a "he said/she said" situation (or "he said/he said" or "she said/she said"). But a persistent pattern of downvotes, over the course of months, tells management that an employee is problematic in some way, even if that employee does good work and, when management is around, demonstrates good behavior.

It says in your readme[1] though that your solar system simulation simulation is off by 70k km (regarding Earth orbit) after only 1 year relative to the JPL ephemerides, for "unknown reasons". I don't see how you can use that to justify not checking for conservation of momentum/energy.

I also do not understand your final sentence.

There's no way this is positive or even neutral. Even the high of 35% was unimpressive. The long-term trend is still downwards, despite a mere couple of years at least 10% below that peak. Leveling off at 18-24% is still unacceptable, and we're still a few years short of being able to say even that is more than a statistical anomaly. When that number has reached its previous peak and is still trending upward, so that we're within a generation of full parity, then we might be able to say we're making sufficient progress.
Show HN: Using Heroku as a distributed load testing platform
(Original blog author here.)

That's a nice idea, and we've considered "minus minus"ing the ZT core as part of an embedded port. But code like this that shleps a lot of structures around and works with JSON is eye gougingly painful to write in C and the chance of a worse and possibly exploitable memory bug is much higher.

This is the first time we have encountered an actual problem with C++ compilers or runtimes.
Become a manager and play the same game. But seriously, it may be a function of your workplace culture. Where I work, the programmers have a typical 8 hour work day, and their managers are very protective of their time. In fact, if I need some programming work done, I have to do it myself, even though I'm supposedly not employed as a programmer.

Another option is to find a role where you use your programming skill, but you're not developing software for someone. That's my case. My title is "scientist," and truth be told, I spend a considerable portion of my day programming, but I'm using code to solve problems, and my code will never be used by a customer.

The problem with this is that it does not address the fact that while employee feedback may provide some insights that are more or less useful, it does not do anything to help a manager decide what to do about it. That's where real managerial skill provides value, but these questions don't get you any nearer to the answer(s).

This is correct. Glibc malloc works fine, though jemalloc is faster in highly multithreaded code and seems to be slightly more memory efficient.
I'm not sure I follow. Both responses to my post seem suggest that "following conservation laws is not an important issue for climate models".

Ok, I am open to that but I don't really follow the argument that the stability of the simulation can be used to tell us that violation of conservation laws will not lead to inaccurate results.

I think the "survivorship bias" argument for reading is a bit overplayed.

There's practically _zero_ of these mega-successful people (Gates, Buffett, Zuckerburg, Musk, etc.) who don't read. Astonishingly, I can't think of a single one. While that doesn't prove causation, it definitely points at it! Do you want to try to be the first successful person who didn't read?

It's not that reading was this one magical trick that caused them to be successful, but rather that reading was a prerequisite. At least, that's my take.
What to Learn After Code Bootcamp
Ok, so below is how I understand NAT to make a PC effectively (with exceptions) unroutable.

As I figured it, if pc Bob is behind a NAT, there is not a public IP address that will route to Bob. The NAT box (lets call it a router) does have a public IP address. However, when a packet arrives at the router, and the destination port isn't mapped (by mapped I don't just mean manual port forwarding but also the actual NAT process) to some port on Bob, the packet will never reach Bob.

In order to figure out a destination port that will even reach Bob at all, you either need to somehow get a recognized request from Bob, and look at the 'return address'. If you already have some control over Bob (or another PC in the NAT) that seems feasible, otherwise it takes a rather large dragnet.
My point being, unless you have info on the state of the router, anything behind it is effectively unroutable.

I'd be very interested to hear where I am wrong, it's been a while since I covered this material.

I'm not sure you've ever used ngrok. There's no sign up. You literally just run the binary with a port as a argument and that's it. It also gives you access logging that you wouldn't otherwise have.

So it's not similar effort, especially given that I use it on my corporate network where doing port forwarding more assuredly would be difficult and problematic.
> Betamax was "better" than VHS if you only compare 1 dimension such as "picture quality".

It's a myth that Betamax had better picture quality than VHS. They were virtually identical on that metric. It seems that people confuse Betamax with Betacam, a professional format using the same size tape that was superior to VHS in picture quality.
Aside from major artists like Seger, something I have noticed is many indie artists have not made the transition to digital downloads or streaming. I've seen lots of good stuff missing from Spotify, Amazon Music (streaming), and the old Apple Music (digital downloads) including early albums by the Lemonheads (originally released by TAANG records in the 80s), Kula Shaker's Summer Sun EP from 1997, and Christopher Parkening's Parkening Plays Bach LP from 1990.

What many of these recordings have in common is they were originally released on independent labels. I don't know if the labels are no longer in operation, or whether the rights reverted back to the artist or to another entity during a sale or special distribution deal. Whatever the case, important recordings are no longer accessible unless you have the LP, CD, cassette, or DAT (!) from 20 or 25 years ago ... or can find it on YouTube.

I think moving up the format ladder has always been problematic for smaller labels. I remember when Dischord started selling CDs I got the Minor Threat album which didn't have a barcode on the back of the CD case. It also came with a historical booklet so fat it almost didn't fit in the clear plastic case. They were just kind of flying by the seat of their pants.

One of my neighbors happens to be a former member of the Boston indie band O Positive; when I asked him why I couldn't get their songs on iTunes he said the singer (who now happens to be a lawyer) said it was too troublesome to sort out the paperwork and files (this is before Distrokid came on the scene). I just checked Amazon Music and only one of their albums is there, which happens to be their major label release on Epic/Sony. The indie stuff is still MIA.
I wasn't suggesting isolating one factor, I was suggesting that isolating what is actually a cause/effect of this drop, to what degree, vs what isn't is critical. I am 100% sure it's not one thing.

Economists, good ones at least, as supposed to come up with a theory that unifies the facts into a coherent story, testable so that when a factor they didn't consider is introduced, the story still holds true. This is the same of any science (to the extent that economics is a science). That's what I want to see and more of. It's part of why I didn't like Piketty but also part of why I found it a compelling effort at least.
This seems like a problem with WordPress.
The story of two buses
Your account almost sounds like an argument for separate boys' and girls' classes. Learning styles are definitely very different, especially at that age (I have a 12yo daughter BTW), so it's pretty intuitive that teaching styles should be also. Since it's hard to teach two ways in one class, the obvious answer would be separate classes. I'm not exactly advocating that, because there are compelling arguments both ways on this issue, but the specific experience you describe seems to point that way.
