I may not understand your point correctly, but I would say yes, they do. The JPEG is an arrangement of atoms in an SSD. This is different from my experience of the color red that I see on the screen. The color red is physical. It is a type of photon with a tiny mass and volume. However my experience of it has no mass.

1) Get good sleep on a regular schedule. Consider getting 9 hours a night.

2) Do about 20-30 minutes of vigorous exercise a day. I like to run for 1.5km and then do some weights/situps.

3) The app Freedom, which you can use to block websites on your phone while you are working. You can also schedule it to auto-block starting at your bedtime.[1] The apps SelfControl and ColdTurkey, do similar things.[2][3]

4) The habit of repeating to yourself "this is uncomfortable but it is worth it and I am stronger than I think." A good way to practice this is by taking a cold shower in the morning. When you have to do something you feel proctrastinatey about, repeat that to yourself. For more on this, learn about Stoicism and Rational Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. Consider a therapist.

5) Planning your tasks ahead of time. Writing out what things you feel least confident in and explicitly listing good resources to draw from. At the end of the day, explicitly schedule time to search for resources to build the sort of mental models that let you predict the behavior of your tools and feel a sense of mastery.

------------
Things that you can use to improve your sleep:

- The app Rainymood, which you can use as a cue to your body that it is time to sleep. Will also help you sleep through random noises.[4]

- Amazon dot, which you can use to set a go-to-sleep alarm that you don't need to get out of bed to turn off for $50. [6]

- A physical alarm clock separate from your phone so you don't go from waking up to reading HN in bed.

- A sleeping mask to block the light out from your eyes for $9. [7]

- A better mattress for $190. [8]

Some of these things cost money. Lost time costs more.

It really depends on the annotation processor and what kind of code you are trying to generate. In the author's case it shouldn't take that long nor would it be hard to develop and debug.
Hell indeed.

In the days leading up to Irma, it was already like the apocalypse. You couldn't get gasoline, water, plywood, or non-perishable goods for love or money. You couldn't drive away because the roads were jammed. Closer to the storm, you couldn't get to a shelter because they were full. Airports shut down. There was nowhere to run (or hide, really).

During the storm, once the winds got to 40 mph, you were on your own - no 911, no police, no fire department. If someone decided to brave the storm and break into your house, it was up to you to defend yourself.

After the storm, there was no power, many roads were impassable, no gasoline, no food, no water, no sanitation, no way to flush toilets without using precious water.

It was a relatively short, but terrifying preview of what a prolonged loss of electricity would do. I think Scientific American compared the power output of a major hurricane to one 10 megaton nuclear bomb explosion every 20 minutes.

If anyone wants to know what a post-apocalyptic world looks like, take an area hit by a major hurricane, remove FEMA, medical support, and law enforcement, and multiply that by a couple of orders of magnitude.

It's a lot more real when you've been an unwilling participant.
The thing about federated comment feeds is that these news outlets will not be incentivized to embed them directly to their website, as they lose control of the content. This problem will damage the exposure that a federated system would receive.
Which, as somebody who voted for Hillary the whole way through, I really appreciate. I wish that the fact-free narratives that came up hadn't helped convince a number of other Bernie supporters not to do the sane thing.
I think this is the key vs the planting side. Maybe soil monitoring and watering/fertilising at a micro level.

Sadly, eventually someone will want to enter one document as a field in another document and then you end up needing escaping anyways. Using a rare symbol for the delimiter would still be nice for typing documents by hand, but it would have to be available on modern keyboards to be convenient.

It's more complicated than that.

The original attempts to latinize (replacing Arabic) writing systems in those republics were, in fact, carried out by USSR, and it was very much a top-down thing, not some local initiative. USSR had a massive country-wide latinization campaign in 1920s for basically all languages spoken anywhere in the country that didn't already use Cyrillic. Long-term plans were to latinize everything, including Russian itself (this one went as far as a final proposal by a committee in 1930).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latinisation_in_the_Soviet_Uni...

For Turkic languages specifically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ya%C3%B1alif

And part of a broader ideological push:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korenizatsiya

It makes perfect sense when you realize that Soviet government, at that point, viewed itself as a first comer in a blaze of worldwide communist revolutions, that would ultimately produce a single worldwide federated communist state. Per Marxist dogma about industrial workers being the vanguard of the revolution, the expectation was that the center of gravity would shift to Western Europe once revolutions happened there. Communist utopias of that time period generally assumed that such unification would result in adoption of some common language, and that Latin script would be used for that language. So adopting Latin for Soviet languages made sense in preparation.

When Stalin abandoned the concept of "world revolution", and switched instead to "socialism in one country", with a heavy dose of Russian nationalism underpinning the new ideology, all this was scrapped, and (then already established) Latin writing systems were replaced with Cyrillic ones, from roughly mid 1930s onward. Those Cyrillic writing systems are the ones inherited by the Asian republics at the dissolution of the USSR.

What crops have the highest labor costs, in both absolute dollars and as a percentage of what the consumer pays?
You're right... it's just like how early commercial computers were productivity gains for large corporations.

New tech is expensive and not very good - only big businesses see positive ROI. As some technology matures, it becomes a commodity for everyone.

Small farms could go do this right now. It just wouldn't make financial sense.

Sure! I use custom ringtones too and was glad to find out I still can. I'm tempted to try out device backup with one of my iOS devices just for the heck of finding out first-hand how it is impacted.

Washing machines both increased cleaning standards and made cleaning easier / a smaller part of our life.
I meant expensive in a relative sense. A pound of corn is a few cents, a pound of vegetables is a few dollars (it's far worse when you compare price per calorie.) Maybe expensive is the wrong word to use, but the economic impact of automating this would be quite enormous. And I have seen people complain that eating healthier is more expensive.
TBH I dug out my Surface Pro when Jess started talking up WSL... Finally got Windows Insider Preview going so that I could try it out for myself.

I spend most of my days in a text editor and a terminal, and macOS has been making even that painful sometimes. Linux was my desktop for ages before I switched to mac ~7 years ago, so it'll be nice to see what it can do now.
If you're a creative mind and you constrain yourselves to the effects available in Web Audio, I'm sure you'll be just at home.

The effects are useful in one setting: hobbyist and toy usage, where you really don't have that many constraints and can play with whatever cool things are around. That said, I'm sure you'd actually get a lot more mileage out of a library of user-made script nodes, rather than whatever the browsers have built for you.

If you're trying to build something production-ready, or port an existing system to the web, most of the fun toys seem like just that: toys.

AudioWorklets don't look like they would improve things for me, but that's a topic for another blog post.

You're one particular kind of developer. There are others.

For example, my usual "working set" right now includes:

Araxis Merge, Calculator (the Windows 10 version with the new programmer features), Dynalist, Evernote, FlashDevelop (don't laugh), IntelliJ IDEA, TraceView Plus, Notepad++, Office 365, Process Hacker, SecureCRT, Slack, SmartGit, Visual Studio, VMware Workstation, VS Code, XVI32.

And less frequently:

API Monitor, Dependency Walker, Spy++, Hexinator, PaintShop Pro, IDA Pro.

Also utilities like 3DxWare, 7-Zip, AquaSnap, AutoHotkey, Brother scanner utility, Eye-One Match (so my monitors are calibrated the same), Everything (the search utility), GraphicsMagick, JKLmouse (keyboard mouse control), Macrium Reflect, FolderSizes, Pandoc, ZoomIn/Zoom+, and the usual browsers and stuff. WSL too.

Along with more personal tools like Foobar2000, Google Earth, Moneydance, Musicnotes (sheet music player), Total Recorder, Transcribe! (music transcription and pitch shifting), TurboTax, VLC.

I'm not saying my set of tools is typical either, of course! Just that for some of us the desktop is alive and well, both for business and personal use. I have no idea how I would replace most of these tools with a terminal and a web browser, other than the ones like Dynalist and Slack.
what a refreshing reply - good point & I agree with you. For certain questions, it helps to think in this fashion, and to make non-obvious points that might be lost in details otherwise. I have nothing against formal systems in computing, programming language research, or other forms theoretical CS. In support of this, in mathematics, Grothendieck took an exceedingly abstract perspective, eventually leading to the solution of some outstanding conjectures of the time.

While I haven't articulated this particularly well in my original comment, what I despair is the singular obsession with Monoids. It is popular because it is easy for people to wrap their minds around, they convince themselves that they've learned deep math and Something Very Important(tm), and it has a cool sounding name.

It's like you've given someone a book about the origins of the French Revolution and because they've heard the word "french", keep repeating "but the Eiffel Tower though amirite?" and keep writing blog posts and articles about the Eiffel Tower and nothing else.

In some ways I suppose my criticism is unfair and has an elitist / snobby vibe to it. It is common for people to find some 'sexy' hooks to initially get attracted to an area, and one shouldn't judge too much newbies. After all no one is forcing me to hang out at forums :)

What Many People Seem to Miss About iPhone Pricing
CSB: Years ago I was working on a team that developed a scripting language and we had this recurring problem where someone would write up a code sample in a Word document and it would break if you cut and pasted it because all of the single and double quotes would be Unicode. My boss was this tough guy who tried to snap the whole team to a standard of strictly disabling that behavior in all of our Office applications, but I piped up and said maybe we should just make the language treat all of those characters like apostrophes and quotes.... I think around version 5 they finally made an API for doing proper anti-injection escaping because you pretty much needed a PhD to get it right due to all of the variations introduced by the extended characters.

That's just not true. They bought this house for $1M 13 years ago. 5 years ago it was worth 1.7M. It's all on public record. It's not overpriced, there is just so low capacity because no one is selling due to property tax prop 13.
So you've adopted an identity view of consciousness, where having a red experience is identical to the neuronal activity which results from our eyes detecting light at a certain wavelength.

This is one way to go which possibly solves the problem. But it's not without difficulty. One is that it's hard to see (pun unintended) how the explanation for neuronal activity is the same thing as having a red experience.

Second problem is that it makes the physical system of brain activity special. Searle might be down with that, but it won't help machine detectors have a red experience. Or maybe even aliens, if they're made of something other than meat.

It's also hard to see what makes neuronal activity any more special than the cells in your toes or molecules in a rock. Why can't a rock have a red experience when interacting with light at that wavelength?
She saw something wrong going on and blew a whistle; she was sentenced and it was commuted in the name of transparency and respect for the government's obligations to its citizens and transparency.

My understanding is that Jesus suggested helping sinners stop being sinners, not shaming them for being sinners. And "progressive" society is all about that - helping those that have failed.

Evaluating the performance of our current approach is very much "taking it seriously". This is what the OP is suggesting.
To me, this is the difference between a "good enough" theory vs. a "totally flawed" theory. Obviously, there's a gray area between the two, but I think the distinction is valid. We had a working model of electricity that was good enough for some initial applications. Contrast with, say, Lysenkoism in Russia, which was totally flawed.

BTW, I never said we were at an apex of knowledge. I'm trying to quell the concern that what little we do know is somehow going to turn to mud one day. That's very unlikely.

I print code reasonably regularly! Makes going through it with a highlighter and red pen to get a sense of what it does and what should be changed quite nice, and it's good to get away from a screen every now and then.

I mostly do it when I'm examining modules in a codebase I'm unfamiliar with.
You bring up a good point that I forgot about. Some of these chemicals, like Roundup, are not just for pest control, but serve other purposes such as desiccation. Since you are going to need a chemical applicator anyway, a second machine to duplicate functionality further increases the cost ineffectiveness.

Not only that, but what I am sure most would consider the most devastating type of chemical in recent times, neonicotinoids, are applied as a seed treatment, planted with the planter. Even if you could devise an advanced machine that continually keeps pests from eating the seed while it is buried beneath the ground, that requires trips over the field that are currently not required at all. It is tough to compete with no additional trips over the field. Energy and wear is expensive and potentially devastating to the environment, including issues like carbon emissions and topsoil depletion.

(Neonics are already banned where I farm, but it is a good illustration of how chemicals can sometimes eliminate the need for machinery altogether and how the robo-pest terminator has to be able to compete with that)
I have used blender for some 3d printing projects. Shapeways has several articles describing the process and highlighting some of the issues (eg https://www.shapeways.com/tutorials/prepping_blender_files_f...).

However, while I think it's very good for animation/rendering purposes, it is missing a lot of things you might expect in a full CAD app. I use it to build meshes and then describe how to deform it. It has some procedural constraints. I recall it has some snapping behavior, and googling around shows some plugins that try to add some of this missing CAD functionality, but I can't really judge their success.

Right. Newtonian physics is an example of a good enough theory. Although it's been proven "wrong", it's still taught in schools and will suffice to get a rocket from Florida to Mare Tranquillitatis. No mean feat.

It's not 1 mile away from Apple, it is 3.5 miles away but this means nothing. There are 7 perfect school district areas in the Palo Alto, MV, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, West San Jose area. These places are in the center of the valley, extremely safe and best commute too.

This neighborhood is probably the 5th or 6th best here. Los Altos same house would go for 3.5M, MV there is just 0 supply, Palo Alto would be around Los Altos, Cupertino 300k more expensive, only west San Jose/Cupertino border is comparable. Apple has been here forever. They have had their hq here forever and same with their 2nd and 3rd largest offices.
You need about 1 gallon of potable water per adult person per day. For 6 months and a household of three people, that would require 540 gallons (2052 liters) of water. That's about 110 water-cooler sized bottles of water.

I'm not sure where in your home you would fit that. A small swimming pool would easily hold that, but keeping the water clean and potable would be very difficult. I would guess you'd need to have a special water tank made, and to avoid detection or damage, it would probably need to be underground. How the water would stay drinkable is another challenge.

Just saying that the logistics around long-term survival appear to be daunting and expensive. Maybe those "crazy" survivalists are not so crazy after all.

Been using Linux as my primary desktop for 17 years now. From ancient Redhat, through Mandrake, SuSE, Ubuntu, now linux mint. Linux mint on my 7 year old laptop (very high end for its day, still no slouch: 16GB ram, updated to SSD, and NVidia mobile graphics) is a more pleasant user experience for me than the corporate Macbook pro.

Everything I need works. My windows environment is an old installation of windows 7 on VirtualBox that I boot up about once every 2 months to get updates, then shut down again. That VM has cygwin, which I'd been using on Windows for a long time when I used it.

Everyone will have their own preferences, and I accept that. Claiming that "linux desktop sucks" and has for a long time, doesn't quite meet the reality of my daily (corporate) life. I am one data point, but certainly not the only one.

If I were, then distros like linux mint wouldn't exist. Nor any of the other desktop/user centric ones for that matter. But they do exist, and appear to be thriving.

As I said, preferences are personal. Linux desktop is quite productive for me.
