Ok, so your product is a niche fitness meal plan rather than a traditional meal plan. Your primary objection to existing options was that "The food is very meh." You can see how that can be confusing.
> evidently many people drink 'this much' without terrible consequences

This assumption reflects an underlying statistical bias: if most people you know exhibit this behavior, then that's what you see as normal.

It may very well be the case that the consequences are actually terrible -- they're just hard for you to perceive because they're normalized by everyone exhibiting them.
>I want to help people become more scientifically literate, so I wrote this guide for how a layperson can approach reading and understanding a scientific research paper. It’s appropriate for someone who has no background whatsoever in science or medicine, and based on the assumption that he or she is doing this for the purpose of getting a basic understanding of a paper and deciding whether or not it’s a reputable study.

Better advice intended to make layman with zero background in science become more scientifically literate would be to tell them to read some textbooks.

Later on in the article, she tells people to write down each and every thing you don't understand in an article and look them up later. And this is excellent advice for people with a background equivalent to an advanced undergraduate or higher, but for people with zero background it would be better to read some textbooks and get yourself a foundation.

Honestly, even when I was in grad school in neuroscience, I asked around for advice on reading papers and the surprisingly universal response from other grad students was that it took 2 years to become reliably able to read and evaluate a research paper well. And this is 2 years in a research environment with often weekly reading groups where PIs, postdocs, grad students, and some undergrads got together to dissect some paper. These reading groups provided an environment in which you had regular feedback on your own ability to read papers by seeing all the things those more experienced than you saw and that you missed. A paper that took me 3+ hours of intense study would take a postdoc a good half hour to get more information out of.

I feel like this article makes reading articles well seem a lighter undertaking than it really is. It's really no wonder we see studies misinterpreted so often on the internet, where people Google for 5 minutes and skim an abstract.

Hi motdiem,

Thank you for seconding the newly updated WAIL.
I am the maintainer/creator of the newly update WAIL (the Electron version) https://github.com/N0taN3rd/wail

I was unable to attend IIPC Web Archiving Conference (WAC) but the original creator of WAIL(Python) Mat Kelly did attend (we both are apart of the same research group WSDL).

If you or anyone else have any questions about WAIL I am more than happy to answer them.
I don't think I could physically fall asleep at work. Are people really this tired while they're at their offices?

It seems like if you're so tired while you're at work that you actually want to take a nap, then maybe there is another underlying problem.
I'm a programmerby trade, but I own a restaurant in Vancouver. A friend owns 3. Several other friends own several other restaurants. It's a restaurant town.

Anyways, it costs from about $50,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the brand and the size of the room. Averaging around 100k for a non mom-n-pop sit-down place

Mine was about $40k, but it's tiny

Boneta (which was award-winning and loved) was cheap at around $70k

A big Boston Pizza, which is not a great place to eat, is gonna cost $200k+ or so, and a big Cactus Club could hit a mil

A higher price doesn't mean a better restaurant. In fact, I'd say a strict budget can make it more appealing due to creativity

Hi jpalomaki,

InterPlanetary Wayback (ipwb) facilitates permanence and collaboration in web archives by disseminating the contents of WARC files into the IPFS network.
It's hard to scale, liquor license rules vary a ton from city to city and state to state, and many jurisdictions personal connections matter a great deal.(Not to mention out and out corruption). And some cities have a license cap, so you have to know of someone who's selling an existing license to even be able to bid on one.

Plus you have to deal with the fact that some of those residents might actually object to your business opening. Even if they don't, your company probably still needs somebody who can show up at a meeting, greet the people in power by name and convincingly reassure everyone you're not secretly trying to open a nightclub and pretending it's a sushi spot.

Probably never. Naps are nothing new and companies who believe in them already have nap rooms or similar. Same for open office layouts. It's pretty well established that a lot of people hate them and find they hurt productivity but companies still use them.
Thats natural human behavior.

The biology term is 'arousal' and there are peaks in the morning and late afternoon, but around 1pm-ish your body naturally slows down and wants sleep. The effect is much stronger in children, but it's there with adults.

You don't feel like you could fall asleep because you've trained yourself not to, and you're most likely taking wakefulness promoting drugs all day.
I think it would be nice to have a couple of examples of the type of websites hosted by cloudflare so that as a developer I can get a sense of what apps would work best.

Further more ... if it's an app store (like) concept why does it not describe the way developers can make income just from creating an app not an app and a connected service that would require a server setup, I mean describe the revenue model and the cut that cloudflare would get and us as developers will get in the end.

Thank you
Sleeping at work is a pipedream.
Correct (all models are wrong ;)
20 years ago I was just old enough to drink, and that means today my memory is not yet shot. Not much has changed in 20 years. So if you define average beer across all beers for sale in the US the average has gone up because of the 50 million hipster craft brews. But the bulk swill that really everyone drinks outside of this crowd hasn't changed at all.
Why do you think this? Can you provide some evidence? There was a lot of hand wringing during the recession about the end of work--"we're all losing our jobs to the robots," etc.--but it seems like there are as many jobs as ever and more good jobs. This is especially true from a global perspective. While many blue collar workers in the US are suffering from competition from foreign substitution, there are literally billions more people joining the middle class globally. It doesn't sound like the end of human work when you zoom out.

Also, if you compare the rate of job displacement right now with technology compared to say the early 20th century where a majority of the jobs that existed 50 years prior were "destroyed", then it doesn't seem like we're at much of an inflection point.

More likely, because we have development policies that make it hard/expensive to move, we're not putting people in the new jobs like we used to--this has down the line effects of slowing growth because the workers who are also consumers aren't spending what they could have.

I can easily if I had a quiet place. Also if I don’t sleep enough (e.g. kids awake at night + long day) I just start dreaming with eyes open.

The amount of sleep a person needs and how long you can go without involuntarily fallin asleep seems to vary wildly though; a friend who I have reason to believe talks about working continiously for 3 days to catch a deadline. (The explanation was along the lines of: it hurts but what to do?) An ex colleague was also known to work through the night between working days.
A lot of people have a low after lunch. When I work from home I often nap for 20 minutes around 2pm and I think this makes rest of the day much better.

CNN, MSNBC, and BBC, are at the top of the fake news paradigm. Everything they report goes through a process that removes all details that do not match the narrative they are pushing at the time.

The underlining problem is that fair and honest journalism - that reports the facts and lets the viewer/reader make up their own mind - has been replaced by a sided & weaponized news media, owned and operated by those with high-level agendas (those that want to impose control on the public, engage in geopolitics, fight petrodollar wars, consolidate power, etc).
Maybe. What I was trying to say is that you generally see pretty forward-thinking stuff on here, or in the SF computer industry in general, but it often doesn't (yet) apply to the average worker
For the last 8 years at work, I napped for 12-40 minutes basically every afternoon. I headed out into the parking lot and slept in the back of my car. (I bought the model I own after testing to make sure the back was nappable.)

My most productive, creative time was the hour or two in the late afternoon following the nap.

All my co-workers knew the deal and so did my boss. Nobody else napped, but my napping was normal and accepted.

The idea of giving that up if I ever go back to a "normal" butts-in-seats company seems stupid and uncivilized.
Cherry picking one example (which happens to also be not "reality" but rather a best fit to evidence and which also does not fall as neatly along partisan lines as you appear to imagine) doesn't show anything about "reality" being politically partisan.

Partisan, by definition, is prejudice, the opposite of objectivity, and an enemy of "reality".

The natural human condition, (at least in culture or society) is to be biased (often unthinkingly, out of cultural training or personal interest). Overcoming this is the path towards understand reality.
Also, change your code often and hire/fire programmers at a high rate.
Looks cool. But why asm? Generating C or C++ code and letting the GCC optimizer do the heavy lifting for you could probably get you a massive perf boost.
There are definitely days when I've wished my workplace had a nap room. Maybe I've had a busy few days and I just get a bit more tired than normal after lunch. It makes sense to me - if I'm tired at 2pm then I normally have another 3.5 hours until clock off. If I dont nap they wont be very productive. If I could nap I would only lose half an hour then be productive for the other 3+ hours. I would probably stay longer anyway so its no lost time to my employer anyway.
Your article highlights some of the key issues faced in this context, by both developers and designers. Fauxflake seems to be a completely developer oriented project, so there would probably be a marginal benefit from UX applied to it (of course docs and tutorials would make a difference). I think projects like Audacity that are meant to be used by the layman, probably stand to gain the highest with better design.
Where I work, go/nap is respected. If I see a teammate napping, I would try to be less noisy, and leave him/her to rest.
> Have you ever sincerely asked him if he did it because he had to or because it was his genuinely wanted to?

The line between "had to" and "wanted to" is hard to see, because we internalize extrinsic motivation. However, I don't think the distinction between "had to" and "wanted to", or the distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, is a useful distinction in and of itself. Rather, I would like to understand the reasons people have for their decisions, whether they had foreknowledge of the consequences, whether they had false beliefs that contributed to the decision, and for what reasons they think they made the right or wrong decision.

Perhaps that's just my perspective, but if I think he made the wrong decision, the fact that he wanted to make the wrong decision doesn't change that. And my judgment that a decision is right or wrong is based on decades of experience and earnest conversations that we still have to this day.

And underneath all that is my own system of values, which in my experience outlasts all my wants or desires. Rather than understanding whether I want to pour a bunch of energy into my work, I would rather understand how I judge the value of work compared to other things in life, because that judgment will stick with me longer than a fleeting desire.

And to further clarify things, I don't think it's wrong to make a decision on the basis of your own desires, but just that desires are an inferior basis for decisions.

I'm sure I haven't answered your question, but I hope this is a satisfactory explanation.
I think you mean specific problems. Hard math problems are extreme outliers in fhe realm of computer science and there are plenty of suitably qualified people in the maths side. That said, less hard problems, more suitable programmers with undergraduate maths, are quite common and a growing area. This may preclude those that are self taught and lacking more advanced, but not highly advanced math.

It used to take me 45minutes to an hour to tailor a resume towards a job. The reason why I tailor my resumes to really be catered to the job description, was because I started to see myself get way more conversions, interviews, and even job offers following my simple formula. It is worth the investment to certainly tailor. But it is hard to scale this to as many companies as possible, without taking the time to carefully do this individually (which takes forever!!). I realized that I had a formula of how I exactly tailor resumes that convert. Interestingly enough, I figured out a way to automate this with the use of some data scraping, of both my resume and the job description. After doing this, natural language processing is used to perfectly tailor a new resume with new original wording that exactly caters to the job description. The resume can be downloaded, and I plan to make it a subscription service so that people can pay for monthly access and tailor as many resumes as needed. I would really like some feedback on the idea and the user experience/workflow. Thanks in advance. I am very glad to be part of this community.

I don't know if a 300sqft apartment is big or small because we use the metric system here, but if you're talking down small apartments, wouldn't the market partially sort that out? If an apartment is too small, people wouldn't buy or rent it. Or if they did, maybe it's all they could afford or a sacrifice they were willing to make?

I've read stories on HN of start-ups living or operating out of literal closets because they can't find or afford an alternative. Surely there's some size which is safe and liveable, but smaller than what is available now? And can be designed in a way that isn't a charmless, stifling box?

Okay.

The equivalents to steps 1-11 were done by the Wormhole authors when they created the
rendezvous server. So yes, if you use Wormhole in SaaS mode, it's simpler, but you have
to trust the rendezvous server.

Operating scp with a working ssh server is as simple as working with wormhole:

To push:

scp foobar.txt tmp@www.example.com: #equivalent to wormhole send

To pull:

scp tmp@www.example.com:foobar.txt . #equivalent to wormhole receive

To revoke access, you simply change the password, instead of deleting the user account.
In fact, the steps you mention are what I already have by default on most of my machines,
so there's 0% extra effort. I got rssh working in five minutes.

Steps 10/11 are my responsibility, and the only remaining step for the other developer is step 7.

Compare explaining the above two commands to explaining virtualenv and pip.
On a busy public IRC channel, I'm not going to do that, I'll use scp, since it's also
preinstalled on their system.

So yes, I do rejoice in the simplicity.

I commented for the benefit of those already running ssh, and who wondered how to create a similar setup to wormhole with what they have. rssh will work fine.

> it took 2 years to become reliably able to read and evaluate a research paper well

This completely coincides with my experience. When I started grad school, it took me a few hours to read one paper, and I probably understood only 50% of the materials even though I had some foundations in the research area from my undergrad studies.

Reading textbooks is a great advice. Then one can start reading some review papers in the area to get some more depth in his/her knowledge. I think the difficulty is that it is hard to find good textbooks and review papers for the subject that one is interested in, especially when the subject is in a niche field.
Is the idea that "foundational work" (in any field) can be done without "huge sacrifices" widely accepted?

It sounds a tad unrealistic to me, unsupported by history.

It's as if people want to have it both ways: Create innovative SW, but also don't take risks or make sacrifices.

Offer software "for free" (and belligerently oppose even something like GPL), but also get paid (preferably by the government, so the people actually footing the bill have no say in it) and be long-term sustainable.

What's next: get paid, but also don't pay income taxes? Give away project control, but also keep it? :)

All understandable desires, but a little schizophrenic.

Disclaimer: I am a big fan of open source and NumPy in particular. I mentor students and OSS newcomers, I even pay one full-time dev to work only on OSS. It's just that I try not to kid myself about where the time&money comes from and where it goes, and I try not to have random people pay for my hobbies.
