If you feel groggy in the morning or just not well–rested even after 7-8 hours sleep, get your sinuses & lungs checked.

Could be sleep apnea, but in my case I felt congested all the time. What I thought was allergies was actually the linings of my sinuses inflamed to the point of closing off air passages.

Unclear if the root cause in my case was acid-reflux into the sinus cavities or exposure to dust from ground zero.

The resulting surgery kind of sucked (free tip: don't have your sinuses roto-rootered in the winter) but ever since I've been able to sleep a solid 6-7 hours every night. I now wake up rested, don't feel groggy, typically without an alarm.
>Apple can't really do that (sell a phone without Qualcomm IP).

Maybe they should do some long term investments in this realm if it is where they choose to make their profits from?

Or pound sand in court..
You're the guy who hates big corporations? I'm the guy who wants to end world hunger.
Actually, studies have shown that hunter-gatherer societies spent much less than 40h/week "working" and had more leisure time than we do. It's just recent history that's an anomaly...
I did a performance evaluation for a project recently and CockroachDB while awesome to setup and operate, was painfully slow. Couldn't get more than a couple thousand writes per second on a cluster consisting of more than half a dozen nodes all in the same datacenter. There seemed to be a huge amount of write amplification (nearly two orders of magnitude) and the load distribution across nodes wasn't really even either.

Sadly had to give up on CockroachDB. They've got good engineers on their team and have some nice funding as well so I'm hopeful that they'll make big improvements in this department eventually. But it'll take quite a lot of work to bring it up to speed - excuse the pun :)

Oh and I don't think Go is any limiting factor here. It's more of an architectural/engineering issue.
I'm assuming you're jumping the cursor around to get to a different location in the text to make an edit? I use / (search forward) and ? (search backwards) a lot. It means that when you think to yourself "I need to edit XYZ" the command is, jump to XYZ, instead of down-across
-across etc.

No doubt, becoming proficient in vim is a big commitment that you really have to work at. Personally I think it's a great editor though.
Yeah that's overly dramatic. What is probably "we used row count from the old monthly backup instead of current row count of the database" turns into "OMG millions of lives!" And, of course, these lives are not "upended" in any way - some of them potentially might be if they suffer from identity theft, but surely not by a minuscule counting mistake. Bad journalism.

Yeah, I worry, this only gets rid of tiredeness but not fulfill the whole 8-9 hours of sleep.
Guess it’s for many a minor thing but why can’t the phone just be symmetric (top and bottom bezel have the same height)?
> Also, the CPU is just a small part of a computer, so "RISC-V" doesn't automatically translate to "open hardware" or "open architecture".

It is a prerequisite to it though.

update: Also, they already have something acting in the role of the ME on this machine, marked E51 on the chart. I don't think it does the high level application type stuff that the ME does, but I would think it handles power management and other core duties of the ME.
>Apple's assertion is that the pricing is not Fair or Reasonable

I assert Apple's markup on products is not fair or reasonable. Perhaps Qualcomm's demands are in line with the true value of the device and not the pie in the sky numbers Apple wants.
I feel like my natural body clock is a 28-hour day. If I have no reason to get up I'll sleep for about 10 hours, but then I'm not ready to sleep again for about 18 hours.

I'm guessing the 10 hours is just making up for sleep debt and that might taper off if I could sleep as much as I wanted every night. But the realities of life (kids in school, work, kid's activities, etc.) mean that I have to be awake by about 6:45am and being in bed and asleep before 10:00 just doesn't happen very often either.
Four sixes or three eights feels like about the right balance, to me. It'd be the point at which a working professional could plausibly and in a non-trying-to-make-a-point way respond with something other than their job to the question, "so, what do you do?" It also might be just enough time off to let a working couple also homeschool their kids (they'd still need a daycare or some kind of parent-free activity or something some of the time, though) without running themselves entirely ragged.
20/20 is ‘normal’ vision. To quote Wikipedia:

A reference value above which visual acuity is considered normal is called 6/6 vision, the USC equivalent of which is 20/20 vision: At 6 meters or 20 feet, a human eye with that performance is able to separate contours that are approximately 1.75 mm apart.[4] Vision of 6/12 corresponds to lower, vision of 6/3 to better performance. Normal individuals have an acuity of 6/4 or better (depending on age and other factors).

Most of these studies tend to be focused on temporary effects, including this one. Most of that "damage" can be undone with a good nights sleep.

But even if some amount is permanent, so what? Does my brain need to be in mint condition? If the cost of getting more enjoyment out of life is a little brain damage, so be it. I hold no ego about my brain being perfect. Performance is only one aspect of life and not one I strive to prioritize significantly over enjoyment.
Telling people that they need less not more does not make you revenue. Except if you are selling self help books.
OK, so maybe we're using "local" for different things. Are you developing in your local copy of Dropbox, or are you cloning to a local directory using the Dropbox directory as a source (probably bare)? I assumed the former, which is what I meant by "local"; you can end up syncing multiple different instances of the repo and horking the contents of your .git directory (as well as cross-edited files, etc, that bleed changes onto multiple branches).

Both have the possibility of breaking because of concurrent or delayed syncs--like, which is actually HEAD?--but the latter is probably safer than the former. Or you can just use git-remote-dropbox and never have a problem.

If you always, always-always, develop on a single computer, Dropbox-as-normal-file-system can be fine. But if you have a desktop and a laptop, or multiple people partying on it, I get worried. :)
It's not that black and white. When someone has IP that is included in an international standard, there are room for debate.
every now and then try to read something you hate. it builds character and patience, something everyone finds moreish.
I am not offering the ultimate truth here, just my opinion.
However I notice that people seem to be offended by the notion that some knowledge of data structures is required.
It's a very basic concept of how to efficiently handle and store data.

I am not sure what people think a basic requirement for a development job is.
Being able to learn is a very low threshold in my opinion, and how do you prove that when you don't have a degree and don't know the basics? See the catch there?

Again, If someone want's to be a front end web developer what I am saying is most certainly not required. For anything else I think it holds though.
Various utilities give $10K rebates on EV purchases. I've never run the numbers to see how that works out for them economically. Though they often get government support to roll out insulation and other efficiency improvements so maybe it falls under that.

The ones that pay to control the timing of EV charging make more immediate sense to me.
As a child in the early 90s I was given the "gift" of an adopted whale. I did get updates about my whale, where it was an what it was doing. The data was likely all junk but it was an interesting gift for a kid interested in oceans. The gift then went sour. My name/address had obviously been put on a list. Other organizations started sending me mail containing pictures of dead and abused animals, not images for children. It took years for this to stop. I fear a modern version: waking up to see every website I visit flanked by ads full of crying puppies. Instead, I donate cash to local animal centers.
Sewell is directly quoted as saying cellular "isn't as important as it used to be." When they thought 3.5mm TRS wasn't as important as it used to be they cut it. Seems like cellular is perhaps still more crucial to the viability of the phone than they want to admit.
>Show me the pile of whatever I'll have to work with.

Some things I ask now since only OSS-friendly companies will link you to their repo:

- Ask how they get new devs set up and what Day 1 looks like.

- Ask how they go from feature to production.

- Ask what their coding standards are like. Many places implicitly inherit from more well-known standards because of the culture around a particular language and they may not mention that specifically -- drop hints and get them talking about it if that's the case.

Generally it's a pile of whatever if there's not much detail with their answers. But I'm probably falling into the same trap of interview-voodoo as hiring managers looking for leetcode scores or whatever.
I go for jj since it removes the mental overhead. Often I'm just pawing through the code from top to bottom and in either normal or insert mode I just start hammering at jj and I start moving.
It’s CSS shorthand.

font-size/line-height font-family

An Em is a typographical unit that basically means “the current font size”, so it actually nests in CSS/HTML.

Default browser font size tends to be a 16pt pixel equivalent. So in this case this is 80% of that.

Line height is obvious I think, but yeah - it’s in a % of the current font size.

They’re just standard typography syntax (the “size/height” bit anyhow) and units moved into CSS with no change.
Referring to the point where quantum computers are better at one esoteric thing that's not even useful as a "singularity" is laughably atrociously ridiculous. The actual relevant technical term is "quantum supremacy" [1], which is already misleading (implies complete dominance but actually refers to not being completely dominated). There's no need to make it worse!

Also, the theorists didn't "pinpoint" anything. They showed that quantum supremacy via boson sampling was harder than previously thought. They improved the classical simulation algorithm, raising the bar quantum computers will have to jump over.

I guess popsci has standards for terribleness that just weren't being met? They couldn't pick a merely semi-terrible title, like "Scientists raise the quantum supremacy bar"?

This story is very Apple vs. QCOM, but I don't care much about this angle really. What I care about is the underlying question: is it ok to charge IPR on value added way outside the scope of the given IP? I don't think so. QCOM does so. Apple is against. So I'm just sympathetic with Apple position in this strong debate and that's it (I'm not even an Apple user).

And I don't feel sorry for Apple. I feel sorry for all the other small manufacturer and companies suffering from this situation, but that are too small to make things move on their own. Apple and Samsung may not have the purest of interest in this debate, but if they move things in what I believe is the right direction, I'll be happy.
Step 1: Short X stock

Step 2: Trash talk company X

It must be great having such a strong bully pulpit when you're in the business of shorting stocks. Hard to believe this doesn't worry regulators at all.
While I understand the appeal of large text I definitely prefer to be able to see more of the text vertically.
Cell phones and the internet are the two big developments that most early sci-fi missed. They're obvious in retrospect but clearly they were unexpected by futurists in the decades before they became ubiquitous. It makes me very curious what the next unexpected game changer will be!

I had a really hard time getting into Vim until I found out everyone I knew who was using it had mapped something else to escape. Once I did the same, it was much easier to get started.
> You guys should be taking my money, is what I'm saying.

Completely agreed. The reason I don't use Keybase more than I do is because I half expect them to be acquired/something else to happen. Would gladly give them my $10/mo. for a 1TB instead of Dropbox.

With that said, I completely understand why they aren't right now -- maybe they're not going after the consumer market, maybe they don't want to box themselves in with customer support obligations, etc. But I really would like to use them.
Calling a foreign address worked fine, there was a prefix code for each network.

> [...] All the surplus will be eaten up by the companies.

That's why we need to keep working on lowering barriers to entry. (Not just in software but all industries.)

Whenever there's an industry where owning a company confers outsized excess returns, I want a hundred copycats to come in and compete away the margins. (For lots of industries one of the most straight-forward way to get that is to make entries by foreign companies easy. This way a country can benefit without necessarily having to grow a local ecosystem of startups first.)

I am happy to encourage everyone and their dogs to become coders, if they can hack it. Over the long run and average over many people, income is ultimately determined by productivity. Let's grow the pie.
As an audio engineer, the headphone jack removal trend is an absolute travesty in an industry that utilizes AUX IN audio capabilities night after night.

I'm often using iPods or other local-music devices to pump sound into concert venues between acts. Taking away 1/8" audio standards in favor of USB-C or Lightning non-standardized ports causes chaos when needing to fill in music in a pinch.

In my industry, I simply cannot live without a standard audio port, which absolutely no one was clamoring to discard.

If my 1st generation Pixel were to break today, I'd buy another 1st generation Pixel.

It's a bit embarrassing that Nature accepted Kary Mullis' letter [1] which he later described by saying:

but didn't accept the one where he discovered PCR.

Except blockchains are incredibly complicated, and as the hacks have shown, programming on the blockchain is a great way to create a bug bounty that also shuts down your company
Youngsters have access to those kinds of experiences but they will never be the same as your experiences. For you those experiences were in access to hardware internals but for youngsters perhaps these experiences are more in software internals. For people older than you, they probably lament VLSI and youngsters not having to access to lower scale integration chips and being able to actually "see" the transistors.

I can go online and see the source code of fully working games and even some older AAA games by just right clicking and "View Source" for html5 games or code dumps of older AAA games. Being able to access the source code for Super Mario Bros. was something of a dream to me when I was little! If you want to see what a full scale production 3D modeling/rendering package looks like you can go and look Blender's. I had to learn my 3D game programming concepts from books full of code that never linked or even compiled and hacked copies of POV Ray that never compiled or ran. Forget about even seeing the source for commercial packages like 3D Studio or Lightwave. For database stuff there is PostgreSQL and together with NodeJS, NginX can be set up in an evening to play with. I learned database stuff in a computer lab and some academic version of Oracle. Unfortunately I can imagine a future where software is much less accessible than it is now.

Even in hardware there are things like Arduino and Pi that make prototyping a lot more accessible than before.
Pixeldash Studios diversifies to succeed
I have been using Vim for 15 years now and I completely agree with sevensor's comment.

- Vim is not newbie-friendly regardless of whether you remove guioptions or not. One has to spend at least a few hours of study and practice to get comfortable with Vim. If one is forced to invest a few hours to learn an editor, one might as well get rid of guioptions and follow other advice provided in sevensor's comment.

- Learning hjkl is not really pointless. hjkl and other motion commands makes Vim a unique and ergonomically a very superior experience. If one does not want to spend time learning hjkl and other motion keys, then one might as well skip learning Vim and pickup Emacs, Sublime Text or another capable editor.

They are permitting me on the premises. It's their offices after all. They have no say over what people do outside of those offices.
No, they are paying millions to find loopholes in the system. At least they are getting closed cross order ( which is hard on a democracy)
If you are X% less productive you will be able to charge X% less for your work, on average, so you would need to work longer hours for the same pay. You might also be shortening your life by not sleeping enough, perhaps by a larger amount than you're gaining by sleeping less. That is clearly the case in the limit of not sleeping at all -- you would shorten your life to a month at best, not to mention that the quality of life would go down.
Cancers linked to excess weight make up 40% of all US diagnoses, study finds
I'm not drawing distinctions between "normal" and "perfect" here. My point is that 20/20 refers to what you can see at a distance of 20 feet, which is different from what you can see at a distance of 2 feet.

Huge numbers of senior citizens have 20/20 or better vision but still can't read a computer monitor without reading glasses.

I bought my wife the Acer R11 last year for less than $250. It's nicely portable, has a touch screen and folds into a tablet, and was the first chromebook to run Android apps.

Why would someone pay 4x as much for the same thing with an i5 processor? You can get a nice full-fledged laptop for that price. Insane.

I disagree with your assessment. I think this place is just full of people who are too easily offended by non tech topics appearing, and think perhaps that if they were at their own deathbed they'd look back and be glad they moved to discourage some random dope that casually compared the day's news to another headline. Very smug and lacking in social perspective.

Qualcomm's R&D budget is around 25% of net sales. Google, Cisco, Intel, and Microsoft (for example) are considered big spenders, but they only spend 12-15% of net sales (apple spends 2.2% of net sales on R&D).

Qualcomm sounds a lot more fair and reasonable than any of the other multi-billion dollar companies I know of.
Yeah maybe if Pharo was just a Smalltalk IDE, but apparently it is a distinct language.
I think we just don't agree about what the good parts of vim are. I find f and t to be a minute improvement over forward search. I think hjkl is strictly better than arrow keys, because you don't have to move your fingers from the home row to navigate a file, and I think the basic editing commands I outlined are sufficient for a superior editing experience within a day of learning them, no deep study required.

Throughput, expectation of service and number of tables/waiter are very different for coffeeshop/casual diner and place that sells $60 steak. In casual restaurant you can expect one waiter per 8 tables compared to 4 tables/waiter in fine dining place. People easily take 2x time to eat the same amount of food in fine dining place compared to something cheaper. In fine dining place waiters are better trained/educated (ever tried to ask for wine recommendation at Denny's?) and dress nicer.

Higher tips per person are totally expected in fine dining place purely from economic perspective.
what I love most about software is that you can always restart from the clean plate (by restarting the program) and/or undo your previous work (with version control).

That's what I loved best about Smalltalk. You could just hard quit out of the image, then go back to the Change Log and replay all but the last few changes. If you save off an image every day or so, you're always back in minutes, no matter how dangerously you've been coding.

There are a variety of utilities which let you load code quickly. Most often, deployment was done using one of these loading onto a clean or a stripped image. You can certainly control changes to your environment. In fact, I'd say you can often control them more easily than in other environments.

you have no idea why -- is it a genuine bug or did it happen few minutes ago, when the function was still incomplete?

The Change Log makes it very easy to figure that out. All of your ad-hoc "command-line" (do-it) state changes to the image are recorded there as well.
