Hi Joel - yes we'll be coming to mobile eventually although we don't have a set date for that yet. That scheduling feature that Sunrise had in which you select a few blocks and send them over is something we allow you to do in the web app, but no mobile app yet.
The same "question" can be asked many different ways, so it is useful to close all but one duplicate and have them all link to the authoritative Question.

This allows for Googlers to use several different wordings for a question and still find the single page with the answer.

The Indictment Against MalwareTechBlog (WannaCry "Hero")
I've listened to 2 or 3 Audiobooks and nearly every one of them (short of Wheaton reading his own "Just A Geek") was unbearable to listen to. I don't know what the percentage of readers interject their own "emphasis" outside of just reading the words, but it's too many for my tastes.

I don't want a robot to read the book, but I also don't want the reader adding "color" by reading some characters with different voices (or - as i've heard in some cases - multiple readers each "in character").

Is this common?

It's a difficult problem for sure. I actually built an open source donation platform before I did a Patreon page [0]. Over the past 2 years, I've earned $1500 on it. I've always had an average of maybe $20-30/mo in recurring donations, plus anywhere from $0-$300/mo in one-offs (usually on the left of that scale). Until last month, I had been making $30/mo in recurring donations on the FOSS platform, and now I'm up to $50/mo.

I started the Patreon page two months ago and it was pushing $100/mo within a week, and without any noticable disruption to my FOSS donations - it effectively increases my donation flow 3x-4x. Patreon is a platform people already trust with their CC# and people are already supporting other creators on. Reducing the barrier of entry can get you way more money, which makes a big difference. Patreon also makes it clear that your support is meant to be recurring, which has a big impact on the long term viability of the income stream.

I still accept donations through the FOSS portal, and point people there first if they ask me directly how to donate. But it doesn't make sense to turn down Patreon, either.

Aside: I'm working on an open source git platform too, I feel you wrt GitHub.

An AI would need to live a human life in a human body in order to understand what "benevolence to humans" means, and such an experience would make it functionally equivalent to a human with a cloud prosthesis.

I was a dropout, but I wish I had been a linguistics major!

There was a post on Language Hat or Language Log where a professor recounted meeting a student who had linguistics "as a hobby", which was astonishing to the professor -- and the student explained that this was possible nowadays because of Wikipedia. (To which I could add, for some people because of the conlang community, or because of linguistics blogs!)

Anyway, Wikipedia's coverage of linguistics topics is generally really excellent and detailed (maybe strongest in phonology, perhaps because of a few super-obsessed editors).

I have the strongest instinct that "Don't write your own crypto" is one of the few successful barrier-to-entry phrases in the same spirit as something like "Surfing sucks, don't try it".
I had watched a clip from Hellraiser earlier today, and after a long day at work read the title of this post as "The Cenobite's brain..." :)

Reading the article was equally as interesting had the above been true - there has always been repetition of patterns in nature (which has certainly driven evolution) - repeated behaviour testing the state of the surrounding influences to see if and where the behaviour can influence or manipulate the state itself in order to learn and grow, and to move to testing new behavioural patterns within similarly fluid environmental states - behaviours that have grown from those proven to further the species (species propagation-related or not).

The behaviour itself may not change, but the state in which it is enacted is almost certainly never the same twice

Survival of the fittest is not necessarily down to strength and force - moreso down to species continually banging their head against a wall until they break, or indeed the wall moving in step with their behaviour(s).

I was greatly inspired by your post, and I'll be spending the rest of the evening reading your CreativeSomething blog and a little more about your story.

I have a strong desire to follow your path, but instead of Creativity as a focus, it is on finding ways to achieve a simple, less stressful life through automation of repetitive tasks, good habits, organization, etc. Think "Wellness" but with possibly a more tech-focused spin. I get much satisfaction from books like Spark Joy (Marie Kondo), Four Hour Work Week (Timothy Ferriss), and I Will Teach You To Be Rich (Ramit Sethi).

Your post about researching, doing, and reflecting really speaks to me. And I feel like I should jump in... but I'm hesitant because I'm not sure I can easily come up with 20-25 starting topics to research and write about. In your case, Creativity seems like a core keyword that is (easier) to start with. Do you have any recommendations for me?

Again, thanks so much. Your comment may be what changes my life!
Aim was a potential multibillion dollar business that AOL just threw away. It was facebook before facebook existed.
A lot of good suggestions. I personally do as much physical stuff as possible because as programmer I get no workout.

But recently I have picked up a new hobby that I would say is fitness for brain. It is listening to music with mindfulness. Not as a critic.

When listening music, I actively pay attention to each note and word. This usually lead me into trance sort of state. It might be ASMR, Frisson, or a meditative trance. The thing is after actively listening to music, I feel relaxed and energized. I know our community is big on meditation but I could never sit still long enough when meditating on breath. Listening to music may not be same but I feel like it gives me a lot of benefits that people claim about meditation.

Another thing is you can listen to music anywhere. I listen to music
1. in backyard while drinking beer,
2. in family room, while everyone is doing their thing,
3. in plane, of course
4. bathing in tub (without headphones though).

Lastly, the music I listen to is sort of chill like Lana Del Ray.

When you think about it, it's not that surprising. Function driven body parts like the eye will evolve to optimize function. Almost by definition there will be one optimal design.

The superficial diversity we see in, say, Birds of Paradise plumage has more freedom to evolve in different ways because there are many more ways for a bird to 'look good' to other members of its species than to design an eye that functions well.

Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman is also fiction and one of the best books I have ever read. I read it over 20 years ago and some of the stories in it still flash in my mind.

Normally you have mapping files which tell your browser which bits correlate to the outputted "compiled" code.

Thus in your browser you see the code you write, you put in breakpoints as desired, and everything generally works.

I don't have much depth as to how it all works behind the scenes though, I'd love to know more.
God I hope so. Ford figured this shit out over 100 years ago... 3 shifts maximized factory output. Also having 5 day vs 6 day work weeks didn't significantly reduce factory output, but helped significantly reduce turnover.

I swear, it's Musk's biggest weakness, not realizing the costs of mistakes people make when they're tired. I couldn't get through his recent biography because I kept seeing mistake after mistake being chronicled that wouldn't have happened if people were working reasonable hours.

Would you have been likely to recommend this book if your pain didn't resolve after trying it? I'm skeptical of this specific theory of how the mind and body are interacting to cause pain and what he thinks is the proper way to treat it. First of all, on the back cover a 2-6 week period is given. A lot of back pain resolves itself within this time frame so without a proper study done there is no telling how many of his "success" stories are just back pain taking it's usual course. He relies a lot on testimonials. That is never a good proof of a treatment's efficacy. Why not do a proper study and not push the treatment until the results are in? We see this a lot in the medical field where some doctor has convinced themselves they have found the key to treating something yet never actually bothers to do a proper study of it. I can understand that, studies are expensive and it's much easier to live in the world where you think you are helping people and the self-selecting testimonials reinforce this. On the flip side I see a lot of people who are convinced that some "alternative" therapy works for them simply because they tried it and got some relief but are convinced others are BS because it didn't "work" for them. The problem here isn't people not believing in the mind-body connection.

Edit: there may be some slight truth to why his treatment seems to work for some in that if you can mentally reframe your pain you are more likely to get better but that nugget seems to be buried in the fluff of his TMS theory: (https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/chronic-pain-a-disease-in-i...)
I donate all my smile bucks to the Youth Competitive Programming Circle.
I guess that I've seen less moderation of personal behaviors via these mechanisms in our current society over my lifetime, and I'm not sure that's a big problem. I'd argue that most of the peer pressure and social moors society (especially local society) pushes are typically a net negative, and as we grow globally, we're realizing that they don't usually make sense.

NOTE: I'm mostly talking out of my ass here as I've never really thought much about this subject before. I'd gladly welcome new ways of seeing this issue and facts that counter my view.
Eh, I keep those circles separate. Programmers usually don't discuss or care about literature in my experience. Like any hobby, just gotta find the people that do.
I'm interested in your argument to why fiction is not time "wasted"! Would you mind discussing? I have thought about this a lot and personally only read non-fiction, but am always interested in other viewpoints.

Geocoding might be a corner case in terms of the usefulness of open data. The most valuable data is usually owned by huge corporations with lots of users (ie Amazon, Yelp, Visa, Google). Data usually is valuable because it's compiled from the usage of many people. So the only way to really build an API from that is to scrape them.
Interesting proof of concept, but the Touch Bar is still nothing I want any part of.

> I wonder if his partner/friend got caught, and plea bargained to turn state's evidence against Marcus.

I always wonder a bit about how often these things end up like Rubin Carter, with the guilty party turning state's evidence against someone less guilty or entirely innocent. I mean... one presumes there's more evidence generated by being more involved with the crime, as in this case. If you catch whoever is most identifiable and turn them, there ought to be a lot of cases where you're starting with the worst player and cutting them a deal.
It's not just farfetched, it also doesn't really add up or make any sense.
The idea that electric vehicles are "dirty" because of electricity produced from coal is now widely viewed as a myth [1]. The electric grid in the US (and worldwide [3]) is consistently and rapidly moving away from coal, which increases the "clean" factor of EVs over time [2].

I run architecture software on Windows and Mac on my MBP.

On software that supports it I use it and vastly prefer it to F-keys. For instance, I never remember the F-key shortcuts for AutoCAD. In the macOS version, with icons on the Touch Bar, I use them all the time and it's fantastic. For system shortcuts, I find it about the same as using the F-keys on the previous model.

On Windows, I frequently brush by the Touch Bar when entering numbers (for dimensions) and pressing escape to cancel commands. Even the side of a finger is enough to trigger a shortcut, unlike a physical key that requires some amount of force directed downward. This is quite frustrating and likely a real productivity loss with no real gain for software that just shows standard F-keys. I should re-map my caps lock key but I need to switch between camel case for naming objects and all-caps for notes frequently.

I hope that I can eventually customize the bar in BootCamp and then it will be a mild improvement over the old way but neutral-to-negative unless you're in macOS on supported software only and then if you don't already have muscle memory for the shortcuts.
Low humidity in Texas?

Maybe El Paso, but the rest of the state is pretty humid unless you compare it to Florida or Georgia et al.
>Wrong.

At no point do you actually say what was wrong about what you quoted. What do you feel is in error?

>GWh is static energy (or simply - energy). GW is energy moving from point A to point B, which is power.

Yes, obviously. This is HN. Generally it pays to assume that people know what they are talking about around here.

It may be that you don't care about the power rating of the storage instance, but a utility does! They care about the power rating just as much as the total storage amount, as they are both essential design parameters. Particularly in the case of lithium ion, since many applications use discharges or charges less than an hour long (lithium ion batteries are typically designed with a W:Wh ratio of 1:1 - 1:4).

The original article is citing a market report from IHS Markit. Now, I can't find the particular news release for this one, but IHS Markit uses both terms GWh and GW when talking about storage, and as market researchers if they were messing that up it would be a worthless report. So lets look at one of the recent reports:

https://technology.ihs.com/590967/global-battery-energy-stor...

and one easier to check number:

> This was largely a result of over 100 MW of projects being completed and commissioned in California in early 2017 as part of Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas and Electric’s response to the Aliso Canyon gas leak.

Let's look at this other report on that 100 MW:

https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/aliso-canyon-em...

>(CPUC) expedited the approval of around 100 megawatts of energy storage in Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric territories, in response to the Aliso Canyon blowout.

>Tesla, Greensmith Energy and AES Energy Storage celebrated the completion on Monday of three large-scale lithium-ion battery projects totaling 70 megawatts -- consisting of 20 megawatts, 20 megawatts and 30 megawatts, respectively.

Now, here all megawatts! And the mean it, because these the AES batteries were 37.5MW and 150MWh, and the Tesla battery is 30MW and 80MWh:

http://www.utilitydive.com/news/inside-construction-of-the-w...

So yes, they mean GW and not GWh, and yes, that is a very meaningful statistic when talking about the grid. It's not the only one, and for bystanders, maybe they care about the Wh more than the W, but it's not like you can design a system without known both.

i think a shift from tenured chairs to lots of low-paid, precarious adjuncts can be identified with a broader rise of neoliberal, corporate attitudes in the university. that and evaluating professors solely based on how much money they bring in, or on supposedly objective citation metrics. bringing "market forces" where they hadn't been previously.
It's unfortunate that this workaround is needed, but in KeePass you can set a custom keystroke sequence to define what actions are performed during auto-type. Right click > "Edit/view entry" > "Auto-Type" tab > Override default sequence:

I then entered {DELAY 3000}{PASSWORD}

Now I can log in to a full screen game that doesn't allow pasting (I type in the username by hand first). If I'm alt-tabbed out of the game with KeePass in focus, the three second delay is enough time to go from triggering auto-type to restoring the full screen game window and clicking on the password field to give it focus. I was unable to trigger KeePass autotype with the game already full screen.

If the account you're trying to log in to also has a long random username that needs to be auto-typed, you'll probably want a sequence like "{DELAY 3000}{USERNAME}{TAB}{PASSWORD}". Or, if the form doesn't allow you to tab from the username to the password field, you could use "{DELAY 3000}{USERNAME}{DELAY 3000}{PASSWORD}" and you can click on the password field during the second delay.

Es2015 classes are just syntactic sugar around prototypically inherited objects. I agree they are nicer to use but under the hood there's no change. Which is why adding all of these oop concepts seems contrary to how the language is designed. At the end of the day JS has no true classical classes.

Would it be correct to say that the affine type system underlies the ownership paradigm?
I wonder. One of the reasons internal combustion has lasted so long is great boatloads of cash get showered on the technology trying to eke out that last 0.2% of efficiency, and when that's the situation eventually someone has a bright idea that makes a bigger difference.

If lithium ends up with the same advantage, other technologies that ought to be better may end up lagging even in the long term.
