Early in my career, I had a similar frustration. I took a paper notepad and documented everything I did. I planned on doing it for a couple of weeks. On the afternoon of the second day, I sat down with my manager and showed that the longest period I had without structural interruption was about twenty minutes. By structural interruption, I mean things that require response and cannot be tuned out (and not things like loud coworkers). My responsibilities did not change, instead other people's authority to interrupt me at will was reduced.

That was many years ago. These days, I pull all-nighters in part due to habit from working in environments where all-nighters until it is done (for some definition of 'it' and 'done') were normalized, but in part because I know that my focus before about 16:00 is often limited and increases throughout the evening and into the morning. I'm not recommending all-nighters, because the fact it works for me has no bearing on it working for you.

I am recommending figuring out what works for you based on what works for you and not based on what works for someone else.

Good luck.

A lot of the psychologizing and self-diagnosis in this post could be cut out if the author realized he was simply being verbally abused by an asshole. Which he was. No need for the "red" and "green" stuff. "Why" rarely matters, and even less often is something you can do anything about, while choosing your response is. Sometimes that response should be "you're a fuckin' asshole, Chad," which doesn't rely on knowing why they're being an asshole. Do I have to feel that I grasp the "Warrior" mentality in order to tell someone they're being rude?

There's a lot of metaphor and cruft in this story as it trundles on, and oftentimes naming things is used to not deal with them. Is anybody disrupting copy-editing as a service for bloggers?

Why is anything worth anything? Gold and silver have value because they're more rare than other metals, there's only so much of it that exists, and it takes time, money, and work to go out and mine them. The reason Bitcoins are worth something (unlike /dev/random output) is because there is a fixed output and total amount that will exist. It takes time, work, and money to mine them.
Because they found out they had little reason not to, and it can be convenient e.g. in Python when messing around with metaprogramming you have to use `cls` or `kls` or `klass` rather than the obvious `class` as a local variable name, just because keywords can't be used in other context. It's even more annoying in JS as e.g. a property named `class` is very common in DOM contexts.
You don't need to write the decoder boilerplate manually to get all those benefits.

For example, here's how you rename a JSON field while serializing/deserializing a data type in Rust:

https://play.rust-lang.org/?gist=1b382bc1572858841d5e392435d...

You just annotate the field with #[serde(rename = "..")]. Here is a list of such annotations

Serde is also generic in the serialization format; the example I linked uses serde_json, and was adapted from its README here https://github.com/serde-rs/json

Wether you like it or not it has become a part of the conversation. It is part of the culture and we can't just ignore it simple because it is fiction. Your dismissal of it is to many as irksome as it's inclusion is to you. Perhaps calm down and recognize that it is partially tongue in cheek but also not something we can simply ignore.
I see one danger; it's incredibly easy to manipulate humans at large scale (see history). That's our vulnerability and machines will exploit it.

So how do we fix this?

In the days when we had interest rates it was possible to make money on transactions by taking the money one day and paying the invoice on the next day. Overnight the money would earn interest. This would be profit to cover the transaction. So a bank could make money moving cheques around for people, taking two weeks to clear back in the days when everything was manual.

So with electronic payment there is no human inspecting signatures and doing data entry. So why the merchant fees?

In a free market a competitor that just makes money on interest should be winning here.

I don't have much knowledge of the issue, but couldn't it be that big investments in nuclear energy would propagate and facilitate the process of isotope separation for enriching Uranium, which would mean more countries having the technology to build nuclear weapons, and thus increase the risk of nuclear war, and ultimately human extinction? This stuff sounds scary to me, not the energy part

Thanks for the info. It's seeming that solar and wind are better from a full-lifecycle perspective, and if we can just solve that pesky energy storage issue then it's done.

Nuclear is oddly politicized, both pro- and anti-, whereas I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. It's not the worst power source but it's also not the best. It's not worth continuing to invest in for the future because better sources are already coming online that don't have the associated fallout risk, hazardous materials disposal issue, and intensive mining/refining processes.
The people usually opposed are the ones who wish to maintain some sort of control.

Totally agree with you on this, but I'm curious why you're also not calling out those who are suggesting the candidate should be a woman, as if being a woman grants you "automatic impunity to having prejudices or bias" as well.

All individuals regardless of identity are capable of having prejudices or biases.

PCs have the advantage of an open hardware platform. Apple won in laptop and mobile where open hardware either doesn't really exist or is very hard and inferior. The shift to smaller portables leveled the playing field.

It's also important to note that Apple won in part by embracing a more open software ecosystem. OS X is Unix and inherited compatibility with a massive open source ecosystem. I predict that if Apple locks down macOS(X) like iOS and locks out this ecosystem they will once again decline, especially since both Windows and Linux have improved as desktop/laptop OSes since OS X became dominant at the high end.

I would not argue that Apple was best in the 80s or 90s. They were actually kind of overpriced, closed, and original macOS was not that great. The best of the closed PCs was probably the Amiga, but Commodore's mismanagement botched that one. If Commodore were better managed they could have survived and become Apple.

Windows and Linux still dominate larger desktop workstation machines.

Your product is unremarkable, in the strictest sense of the word. That's your issue. What might one say about it that would be provocative or interesting to one's fans and subscribers?

You can tackle this issue with a re-skin. The other issue is your control scheme. You need to make it configurable and you need to iterate on it until it is fluid.

Before Chernobyl blew up, nuclear energy proponents promised us, nuclear energy was safe.

When Chernobyl blew up, it was obviously a stupid Soviet design, with stupid operating personnel. But now we've got new reactors, they are safe! Nothing could ever happen!

Then Fukushima blew up. That was obviously okay, because it was a Tsunami in conjunction with a few other improbable acts, and we obviously can't expect the nuclear industry to plan for that!

So we're now in the next round. Again, we're totally safe. We've got passive reactors. Really disruptive (g) tech!

I'm sorry, I said it before and I said it again: proponents of nuclear energy have either been lying to us every single time over the last decades, or they can't really manage nuclear energy.

I don't care which one it is, and I don't care whether they believe nuclear energy is safe now. They have been playing with catastrophes of a magnitude we can't really comprehend, and the best they manage to do is "it could have been even worse" and "we promise this was the last time".

As far as I'm concerned, I'm all for making sure it was the last time.

There's no misunderstandings on my part, bringing up the "hedonic treadmill" (with all the "I need to work longer to afford/spend more time on my hobby" that it entails) was fully intended and not confused in the least bit. In my posts I've related what I've observed living in Peru and Canada.

You seem to have a problem with my observations because they make you feel bad and you feel alluded to. This isn't my problem, if you feel like it doesn't apply to you and your circles, you do you. I know people that fit those cartoonish stereotypes. It's not meant to be a statistical overview, just a possible trend Canadians could be sliding into.

I also do not understand at all that little hobby list you made. I could make a similar one, as a Japanese learner boxer who likes board games, reading, and hiking. I still find time to cook and clean.

"stun-locked" is video game terminology, at least as far as my understanding of it goes.

Essentially some act "stuns" you, in this case a direct challenge or statement made by the guy verbally assaulting him sends him reeling. Each statement is made successively so he was stunned by each statement... hence "stun-locked" as in he was stunned, then stunned again, then again, and had no time to collect himself or respond.

In video games "stun-locking" usually means to render another player out of control of their character temporarily, but when the effects are chained the other player can do basically nothing until the perpetrator has run out of ways to keep the "stun-lock" going.

Frankly, I love Reddit. If you pick and choose the right communities, it can be an amazing resource for everything from tech discussions, to local news, to emotional support. However, I will strongly agree with the perception problem, there's also a lot of bad on Reddit and its structure as a series of echo chambers doesn't help.
How is that compared to mining for battery and solar material? It's a double standard to hold nuclear accountable for manufacturing when the same is not applied to solar/wind.
Ctrl+F "Solar", "Wind". No matches found.

That's weird, huh? I'm all for a rational assessment of risk, but shouldn't they be on the list?

Actually, I've seen such comparisons, and solar and wind do pretty well. They don't kill anyone from air pollution and global warming, but manufacturing and maintenance isn't risk-free. When you install things on roofs, sometimes people fall off.

Most solar installation these days however are utility scale deployments in empty fields. It's pretty low risk, plus the same pollution and AGW benefits that nuclear benefits from.

As an aside, I wonder if anyone has done the math on storing high-level nuclear waste on the Moon, now that a fully reusable SpaceX Falcon Heavy is almost here. That might be cheaper than the financial and political costs of places like Yucca Mountain.

The quoted statistics are interesting, but irrelevant when it comes to the actual use of nuclear. Furthermore, why are solar and wind energy missing from these stats? They account for 90% of new power in Europe in 2016 [1], and I'd assume similar for the major world economies. I'd like to know who funded this study. It screams of nuclear industry backing...

For anyone still being in disbelief of nuclear being made obsolete:
Why has not a single (!) private insurer been willing to fully insure a nuclear facility without government backing?! The reason is simple: the risk is too high, even for insurance companies worth billions.

TLDR: nuclear has, as yet, not worked using private financing.

From what I've read on their website, they actually do bundle it with custom software like drivers. But really my bigger point is that a lot of things do not work the way they're supposed to if you deviate from the happy path just a tiny bit. In my experience.

Solar, wind and hydro are energy sources that depend on weather and cannot be regulated except by throwing the generated energy away, thus with today's energy grids cannot be used as majority of the generating capacity. On the other hand biomass can be stored and used according to demand.

Pumped storage is in the grand scheme of things horrendously inefficient in essentially any metric one cares about (energy efficiency, capacity per size, capacity for cost...).

I fear this major re-design will be a mistake. HN is designed similarly to Reddit and if HN ever tried to do a major re-design, I think I would visit it less.
