It depends what time scale you're looking at. If you consider the US government's reaction to the events of 2008 a success because the stock market is high right now and unemployment is low, that would be misleading if the effects take an even longer timeframe to show themselves.

The Austrian economists would argue that what happened in 2008 was a breakdown of the fiat monetary system and that the responses were just bandaids. In the longer-term view, when you look at shifts in power and rising and falling of empires, 2008 could be the first of many massive shocks to the economy.

There was a CoC on Drupal and surprisingly it wasn't until a few months ago it became a serious issue. Sometimes people can put the smarm aside and be legitimately helpful.
The studies had incredible results and microdosing was the clinician's recommendation.

There are places now able to study LSD again after an almost 40-year lockdown/hiatus and the results are really powerful. Some in the UK, some at Purdue, my only concern is that they inject liquid LSD into the bloodstream to prove "control" but it's totally unnecessary, you can eat it just as well or even absorb it through your eye or skin (like Bicycle Day). People need to be educated on its potential, what it illuminates on an MRI, what moto-sensory functions it inhibits and what states of mind it can trend and improve towards. Research would not be as difficult if safety were the primary form of education and not abstinence
Why is this extremely basic CS 101 stuff being voted up today? Definitely not HN material.
I suppose this was inevitable, the costs of cold potato routing must be prohibitive, especially if we consider more exotic places, for example riding the GCP network from just a few milliseconds away in Bangkok all the way to a tiny GCP compute instance in London on practically all GCP network (exc first three hops locally). GCP network is awesome, I am surprised we are only see a small pricing reduction for standard offering, perhaps idea is to eventually make it 2-3x price, a premium worth it imo if you consider one would push most bandwidth heavy assets onto edge CDNs anyway.
One downside of Scrivener is how old UI feels and looks. It definitely needs a heavy facelift after all these years. Oh and the use of RTF docs.

I'd say that when someone comes to the table with markdown support, a UI that matches the times, a better format, and strap Pandoc on top of it, you'd see a true competitor to Scrivener.

Scrivener satisfies the market but I think a straight up clone with a few changes and a few extra features could easily take over. Not one of these alternatives that keep trying out something "new".
I'd change "for" to "to treat".
That differs from person to person, and depends on your level of crunch.

Some people start declining after two 50-hour weeks; others can do 60 hours indefinitely without any negative impact on their productivity. Few people get more done in a single hundred-hour week than they do in an 80-hour week, and the vast majority will need multiple weeks of recovery time after those hundred hours to get back to pre-crunch productivity levels.

So I would suggest a few things:

1) Know thyself.

2) Consider whether there's any way you can decrease the crunch by decreasing scope or extending the timeline. Maybe there's a piece of the project that can be done after the deadline instead of before. Maybe there's a component you can simplify. Maybe the deadline is arbitrary and nothing will implode if it actually lingers another two weeks.

3) Is this for your own company or for an employer? Do a gut check, and repeat it every day of your crunch period. Who will really benefit from this project hitting its deadline, and who will really be injured if it doesn't? Is it really worth the risk of long-term damage to your physical and mental health to go all out to complete this project?

That reminds me of a PC Hockey game, NHL 2001 or something like that. On regular season mode you could trade a player for a slightly better player. Half an hour of trading later you could have an all-star team, without even playing a game.
I was overly harsh because of this that you said:

> But also the fact that our lives are very instable : breakups, job changes, moving in/out, make it hard to save.

It's not hard to save because of those reasons (for people in the situation your describe). Like, at all.

It's like people living paycheck to paycheck. Unless you're already so poor you're eating noodles and free store samples for nurishment, you can do this for just a while, and save enough to have one month's salary in the bank. (though probably you specifically don't need to be as drastic as this)

One month's salary in the bank means that when the car breaks (though you don't have one), or when you get fired, or have to move, you can have the means to "just fix the problem". And often being able to pay to fix the problem makes it much cheaper to fix the problem, in a virtuous cycle.

But you can't spend that on a vacation.

Yes I agree it's a cultural and educational issue in the end. This should be taught in schools.

I think it also hurts that in the US it's common to be paid weekly, or fortnightly. That means people never have even a full month's worth of rent and groceries, and they therefore never learn how to even informally have a budget. And you get things like people being able to afford eating out right after being paid, but not right before (which makes no logical sense).

But you know this, so why don't you do this already? You can save, you understand that it would be in your best interests, and you know how. So why don't you?

The problem is not the actual dev time of a serious side project like a SaaS. Even if it just takes you three months to get to some sellable product with payment integration, etc.--the much bigger problem is that you need multiple shots to get it right (find the right market niche, the right product, the right angle, the right Marketing, the right growth channels, etc.). Then, after more than just three months and many attempts + pivots you just don't have the energy/time/money to keep up. Of course you can clone some proven model but then you face lots of competition which doesn't make success more probable.

People who are succesful did 99 mediocre side projects before they hit the jackpot. But it still took them tons of time and energy. Very often a overlooked by-product which was developed over night and benefitted from all prior experiences will be the cash cow while the main project which took 12 months still hasn't won any users.

Most stop at some point because it's just tough, especially the mental part.

1/10 false positives doesn't sound too bad to me. Having seen older family members impacted by the disease with little to no warning, a 90% chance at early detection would be incredible. Even with a false positive, the changes you would make (lifestyle changes, brain stimulation, continuous monitoring) would only be beneficial, IMO.
Indeed. The most difficult part of creating stuff is derailing and track-changing. Goals and dreams outside the context of reality and the world, are often pretty dumb and shallow compared to what you can do when you fail and re-evaluate.

Or are we suddenly supposed to not ever fail, and attempt only things that work the first time?
Psilocybin has been shown to activate similar capacities as L-DOPA and other synthetics that basically affect neural chemistry and bring balance back to the brainbody. You are correct that without a commensurate attitudinal shift the effects will be temporary. With a strong supportive group and a strong goal in mind (to be full of contentment without the need to escape one's experience) I think treatment will go very well for those willing to give themselves to the process.
Help The New Yorker Compile a New Voyager Golden Record for Today
Trains are easy to run on electricity. Heavy industry? Surely that's mostly static.

Transport is 26% of world energy usage, oil is 31% of world energy source.

https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=23832 says that 12% of energy use for transport is air, 12% ships. So probably 75% of transport energy usage could be replaced by electricity. So about 75% of oil usage could be replaced easily.

It took about a month to built the initial prototype for the Search Engine we are building.

We had the interactive mind maps as JSON already however we needed to display them on the web in a nice interface so we made a react component to render the JSON to the screen.

Overall it took about a month to do the whole thing and get a working prototype, the search engine improved a lot since then though.
Not everybody lives in large urban areas where Internet is an almost guarantee. I myself live in a remote area of Ontario where coverage can be spotty at times. It's nice to have a fallback to offline storage when I don't have access. Not everybody is willing to pay for a data plan as well.

AFAIR the gnome people were desperately looking for someone who'd maintain console kit and the systemd people stepped up and provided a working alternative, so gnome switched. After the switch, systemd basically was a hard dependency for every system using a recent gnome version. If the time spent complaining about systemd were spent towards supporting alternatives, things might look different today. It doesn't require coding an alternative, but organizing support, funding a patreon etc. would go a long way.
Thanks, that helps a bit more.
This is blatantly unsupported by any evidence. If you want to run in most places people can easily run you have to wear shoes. There is no conclusive or even decent evidence that heel striking or non heel striking causes injuries. Barefoot running causes very different muscle activation patterns. It is much less efficient (biomechanically) requiring you to compensate very differently.

There is one study barefoot purists like to trot out that they think means barefoot/forefoot striking decreases injuries: https://runblogger.com/2012/02/vivobarefoots-barefoot-is-bes... -- the study was also sub-elite or elite collegiate athletes.

Other studies that I think are more relevant to a typical runner show very different results and the study is more credible: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26126256

Find evidence that isn't anecdotes and is widely accepted and I will gladly change my mind. It is still an ongoing debate and the evidence in either direction is only moderate (in the direction of heel striking being fine, especially for folks running recreationally with a rather low load). Given the general lack of evidence it comes down to anecdotes and you can find those everywhere, people are crazy.
Yes, correct. updated, thanks
I see your point. Though, I'm not terribly convinced about wealth inequality being a major driver in this.

"Linux Only"

I like this approach more and more these days. For example, I run murmur(mumble) servers sometimes, and they deprecated d-bus support for ZeroC ICE (gplv2 or proprietary), but it seems almost as bloated if not more so. The reasoning was mostly around the portability bindings...

Recently though, I have been refusing to support Windows and OSX as a concious decision. One thing I've found is that the constant want/need to target every platform adds an ever-increasing amount of complexity, which really seems to go against the unix philosophy. So I applaud others willing to buck the trend and narrow scope down.

In the end, I think the main problem with the many eyes theory is that code has gotten so complex that there simply aren't enough eyes, and therefore I think the future of software is going to be in reduction of complexity. For example, loc isn't the best measure, but the Minix 3 kernel is at ~20kloc, while the Linux kernel is now at, what ~11mloc!? Not even redhat can audit that shit properly. (another reason we need a Hurd microkernel, but I digress)
That doesn't follow. There is a vast difference in cost of different forms of electric. The grid has a lot of built in ability to scale by turning on more expensive sources of power. People want low prices, and so the power company does what it can to stay on the low cost sources of power even while higher cost sources exist and could make up the demand without those tricks: it make customers happy.

My company maintains an old boiler from the 1880s connected to a steam engine/generator from the 1920s. Because we have it maintained and can start it up with 12 hours notice the power company gives us a substantial discount on our power. I understand we actually did turn it on about 5 years ago when something major happened to the grid. We were able to power our [small] town alone. This is one of the least efficient power plants in the country and thus one of the most expensive.
I guess I was more extrapolating to jet engines, where I don't know if speed is as much of a factor in energy conservation, given the market.

>The vast majority of Indians aren't involved in either the "real" economy enough (ie, the one governments measure), or are too poor for it to matter

Not too sure about that. Also will depend on what exactly you mean by it. If income tax payers, maybe yes. But if just people who earn money, there are other means than income tax to include them in calculations.

Anyway, it's a very complex issue.

>Yes, India has come a long way, but it still has a long way to go - economically speaking

True. And not just economically - in other ways too.
Reading this article, I got a bit bothered.

I agree with the sentiment: people repeat entirely too much code. There are very few cases where a for-loop is the right thing to write. Using generic methods which can be tested and shipped in isolation is basically always better.

But the article seems to imply there are performance concerns in some cases with its talk of using "a data structure". This irked me, because it's not like Set will beat linear time in balanced read-writes and without care the hash tables end up being non-constant as well.
The extremely high egress prices for any cloud don't seem to have hurt their popularity much so far. So I suspect they all don't want to give up their cash cow.

Compared to a VPS or renting a dedicated servers, the egress costs can be enormous if you come even close to using the traffic contingent you get with many VPS or dedicated hosts.

Just as a comparison, a dedicated server with Hetzner for ~50-70 EUR per month includes 30 TB of traffic, which would be at least 2,400 EUR on the Google Cloud.

LED dimming is a compatibility mess. Most commercial buildings don't use 2-wire dimming where you're messing with the sine wave on the hot wire for dimming, instead they give you a clean 120V circuit and tell you the dimming level over some other channel (whether it's wireless, 0-10V analog, or some digital bus), and these tend to perform a lot more consistently. But most residential equipment doesn't work that way because houses don't have the additional wiring for it, so we're stuck with 2-wire.

When you get into 2-wire dimmers where it's chopping up the sine wave to reduce power, everything gets sloppier. The only 100% reliable strategy to avoid problems is buying LED bulbs that have been tested on your specific dimmer system.

Consumer products are especially frustrating because a lot of time the technical specifications are missing important information like whether it's for forward phase or reverse phase dimming. That relates to which end of the sine wave gets chopped off for dimming, and they don't play nicely with each other. Reverse phase is the more common these days, but it doesn't hurt to confirm.

Lutron does a fair bit of compatibility testing and lists their recommended products here: http://www.lutron.com/en-US/Service-Support/Pages/Technical/...

EDIT: I should note that if you're looking at screw-in LED light bulbs you want to search "A Lamp". Bit of industry jargon, we measure things in 1/8 inches (because reasons), so what normal people consider a standard lightbulb is an "A19 lamp" meaning A-series with 19/8" (2.375") diameter.
I'm not sure what you're asking. "View source" will only show you the "source" text of the HTML page as the server sent it to you. Since this page is built with React without server-side rendering, said source just contains an empty div where the content would go (the one with id="root").

If you mean you want to see the DOM tree that has been generated with JS after you've loaded the page, you can see it in the corresponding tab in your browser's devtools. Eg in Chrome that's the "Elements" tab.

If you mean you want to know how the page works when you're offline, the information is again in the JS. You can use your browser's devtools to prettify it (both Chrome and FF have this feature) and search for "Do you want to be productive?" to see the code.

The Service Worker is only involved in that it returns the page and JS from its cache. It's the JS that detects whether it's offline or online and renders different content on the page accordingly. [1]

Custom Elements are quickly gaining traction. They're in Chrome and Safari, and will be in Edge/FF soon based on discussions with those teams. The Angular team is toying with using them directly (not sure if this will ever come to fruition or not). We'll work with the React team to get it working with better compatibility. Right now our components work in React use just need to use a tiny "polyfill" wrapper. The experience in React isn't as good as we'd like, but it's pretty darn solid in Preact.

To me, it doesn't seem like too big of a stretch to think that the popular frameworks of today will move to the custom element spec instead of their own proprietary component model.

It depends very specifically on what sort of problems you develop. It is theorized that when you do suffer a lower limb injury using orthotics changes your muscle activation pattern (moreso than changing your form), which helps alleviate the issue. The rate of orthotics fixing problems after a specific injury is pretty high so it is more than just mumbo jumbo.

"70% of runners with lower limb injuries improve when they use orthotic devices (James et al. 1978; Bates et al. 1979, McKenzie et al. 1985; Gross et al. 1991)..." Noakes, lore of running. So clearly orthotics and what you put under your feet can have an impact and make things better (or worse, but probably better if someone knowledgeable about biomechanics can see your pronation and gait).
PrinceXML does a solid job of it, and has for years.
I think "unaffected" means "even with a single fiber cut, the connection still have sufficient redundancy".

With N+1 redundancy, if there's a fiber cut, I won't call the remaining connection "unaffected", since it's no longer fail-safe.
