You can predict a recession by observing that spending goes down before the recession actually happens. Observe, for instance, that this happens for many things, including stock prices : they drop before the recession. People buying stuff, goes down before recession starts. Etc.

Pregnancies are simply something that get planned out. You make sure you have room, things have to be going well, you only do it if you feel comfortable about your employment. And so on and so forth. They're an indicator, sure, but keep in mind that there's many indicators. From sandwiches eaten to car sales, everything drops before the recession happens (well, except "sin stocks").

People will reply that that's a recession being predicted by a lot of people. That's not really true. It's many actors reacting to each other. In many cases (almost every last example, although there are exceptions), recessions are caused by the government raising interest rates, after having kept them down. This forces companies and consumers alike to accept the truth about decisions they've made in the past few years (since rolling forward debt becomes harder, and thus at the margin impossible).

By observing what's currently happening with sales figures in a lot of sectors I would say we're at the beginning of the transition into the recession, 6-12 months before the actual recession in GDP figures. The stock market top is ~now (as in just passed, or perhaps coming up any second now), and everybody in the financial industry pretty much knows what's coming (but a lot of players cannot currently act upon that for various reasons).

Given just how low interest rates were (ie. < 0), and for how long (~10 years), the next recession ought to be a doozy. Lots of debt needs to be worked out of the system.

Very interested in this. Will wait for Linux support and how well it's implemented.

How do you know it's smog caused by diesel? LA has suffered (don't know how is it today) for years from smog and the majority of the vehicles there are petrol. I mean you can't blame it all on diesel.

Often.

Agile true works. Identify the core, build it quick. No more than one month. Release and deploy to production. Sprint! Release every 1 week or 2 weeks on production.

This is my approach to delivering software.
At the next level up, I suspect. Jut as the current right to be "forgotten" doesn't remove the source material but only inhibits the lookup-path.
So electric vehicles with their heavy batteries may still cause local pollution?
Doesn't seem particularly necessary though yeah? Bloom filters are super useful when the cost of doing the computation for the actual lookup is high, but in this case it's a single key-value lookup. That's about as cheap as an operation can possibly get.
In between design patterns and frameworks are the perfectly legitimate solution of libraries, which is the most common approach I've seen.

Strongly no.

In an better world existence of such dataset would be unnecessary.

In the less ideal one you have to look at it's existence in a broader context.

- it provides a clearly beneficial service to owners of those email accounts bridging the gap in the legal systems (disclosure requirements)

- it's exposed in a way that keeps the risk of 3rd party exploitation low: doesn't leak information unless you have access to email account

- it has not to my knowledge been abused in any way and public is keeping check on that -
there would have been an outcry that would not go unnoticed

- it's less of a high value target than you'd think - it's built from data that is already in the wild and could be pieced together by a sufficiently motivated actor, especially in the light of the recent combined lists with hundreds of millions of emails surfacing..

Quite frankly if you look at just that it scores better than most datasets gathered by websites requiring user registration.

The only thing missing here really is the consent to be included in that list, but given the sources of the data and the points above I find lack of it more than sufficiently justified.

I was just reading "Man and His Symbols" by Carl Jung who argued for somewhat of the same attitude in his book.

What you are calling the "gut" he called the unconscious and his argument was that the unconscious was composed of primitive brain structures that evolved over millions of years for good reason and that provide valuable intuition.

It's remarkable how much the "rationalist" side of HN responding to you coincides with critics he described in his book who fail to understand the value of intuition.
I disagree with the concept of toll roads, at least insomuch as they're effectively double-taxing us: we pay taxes for roads already. Now you want me to pay again to use the road?

But really, if roads were not free in the first place, toll roads would basically stop being a thing and the roads themselves would become the toll.
For me it's really hard to say actually.

On the one hand, as a person with relatively few assets I'd say it would be clearly in my advantage that there are no assets and all value needs to be produced by labor.

But at the same time it is also a natural desire that you build up something that you can use when you are old and tired. And that shouldn't necessarily be a lot, lot worse than what you are used to in your prime time. So in some regards we also need assets.

Both sides have good reasons.
That lawyer thing is like saying "a calculator just beat top mathematicians at their own arithmetic" and expecting it to generate replace maths professors within 5 years.

In my case it does. I am driving a Euro5 Diesel car and live in one of those cities where they may be banned. So, yes, I need to buy a new one. Which is quite difficult, or at least expensive, because it's quite possible that cars with the newer Euro6 Diesel emission standard may also be banned in the mid-term, and the latest standard Euro6d is brand new.

It's not caused by old cars (for the most part), but rather by people burning cheap coal in inefficient furnaces to keep warm during winter (see "energy poverty").
In most cities with good bike infrastructure I've seen you cannot ride a bike among pedestrians, they are limited to roads and bike lanes[0]. Whenever I see bicycle on a sidewalk is most often because road is jammed with cars or it's too dangerous for bikes, if we get rid of (most) cars, this will not be a problem as there will be plenty of space for everyone.

I don't think there is a conflict between imperative thinking and state machines, but I do agree that lots of programming languages neither provide built-in features for expressing state machines nor support expressing them particularly elegantly, and that the superior support for general abstraction in certain functional languages reduce the friction of use.

It's pretty easy to imagine, though, a class based OOP language where each class was also an HSM, with methods defined per state and identifying transitions (as well as states and their entry and exit behavior being explicitly defined.)

US-biased headline. This is what US-tech firms have been doing for years, dangling carrots on foreign talent. The same reason why the US VC-lobby has been up in arms on anything and everything work visas related. China is the new USA.
I started following a couple of OS-from-scratch guides a while back. There are a few that are very similar and will get you through the basics. I got things working up to the point of having a little OS that would boot up and take keyboard input and display it in a text terminal in various colors. This was all very straightforward and worked pretty well.

The next thing I wanted to work on was some type of process manager that would allow for multiple processes to run, each in a protected memory space. That's when it started to get pretty hairy and that little learning project bogged down. As I recall, my decision paralysis mostly stemmed from the fact that there were successive generations of ways to handle memory allocation and protection on the i386/x86_64 families, and the clear way that I should implement my little OS branched off into a lot of choices with ramifications that I was hesitating to commit to.

I'd love to go back and pick that project up where I left off. I'll muscle past that learning curve, but are there any good guides out there with more information on how modern 64-bit process management (including memory protection) is accomplished?

I'm guessing it's part of an older copy of the page? Is there an easy way to search revisions?
Of course it's possible. But in a game you don't want to create the most detailed real world simulator but an abstraction of the real world that feels real enough while at the same time is a lot easier to implement than the real thing. In MMO economies that usually means you have magic money creation boxes (mostly killing monsters or mining resources for unlimited sources) and money destruction boxes (e.g. repairing your items or paying tax/rent for different things). If you have more creation than destruction you have inflation, which is fine to a limited extend.
Thanks. I'll get them corrected.
Great project! I wonder if you might be willing to go into more details about what made it an "interesting technical challenge"?
Can anyone with some legal background comment on liability implications?
Ah... your "independent playback progress/state class" is another state machine, just better with an architecture that suits your use case. "Full state machine" is a misnomer and common misunderstanding of the power of state machines. Any state machine bordering on complexity that is hard to manage can be broken into multiple smaller, easier to grasp and manage state machines. And state machines transparently integrate with functional programming, so any ideas contrary to that is yet another misunderstanding of them.

Find a reason to get up and move.

Drink water, refill it when empty, go to the bathroom more frequently as a result.

Take breaks to go outside and lap the building or parking lot a couple times a day. When I worked with smokers, I would take a break every time they did, though I'd go for a walk instead. That worked out particularly well because when a boss tried to call me on it I asked why the smokers were able to take so many breaks but I wasn't (I was outside for no longer than they were, and often less time as I aimed to complete the lap quickly, not leisurely).

Collaborate with colleagues in person rather than via your office's messaging app when possible. Not to the point of disrupting them, but if they ask you a question that is reasonably complicated, go to them and communicate it in person. If they're free to answer yours, go to them and hear the answer.

I don't know about the other people here, but I'm not coding, documenting, etc. for 8 hours a day. It's maybe 4 hours a day with the rest being communication and thinking time.

> Throughout history, taking away weapons has always been an early step down the slippery slope to totalitarianism and stripping the populous of their other rights.

Only in retrospect: if you look at non-ephemeral totalitarian regimes, they don't typically allow dissenters to freely control effective weapons... but if you start from the other direction and examine states which do not allow their populace to freely control effective weapons, your examination pool is most of the states in the world, most of which are not (typically considered) totalitarian.

> I don't think the ability to squat comfortably depends on race.

I agree with this. However, I reckon that the ability to perform heavy squats does depend slightly on race. For example, short femurs provide beneficial leverage, and Asians tend to have shorter femurs than other races on average. I think this goes a little way towards explaining the dominance of China in Olympic weightlifting. If you look at the Lü Xiaojun, he has the perfect proportions for squatting and associated movements.
It could be that people having fewer babies causes recessions. Babies, even before they are born, require a fair amount of economic activity to prepare and later care for them. When that activity slows it may be enough to ripple through the rest of the economy.

But certainly more research is needed.

IANAL, but it seems straightforward to me. The vehicle will have to be fully insured. While this is a strange concept in America, where each driver is insured for a specific vehicle, this is how insurance is done in many countries in Europe; an insured vehicle is insured no matter who drives it. So American insurance companies will just need to start insuring vehicles by themselves, and if something happens then the insurance company will pay up.

A better solution would be to restrict traffic to commercial vehicles and only at certain times.
Sure, in isolation I would prefer a car staying in its car-lane to a bicycle driving all over the sidewalk.

But then, this change doesn't have to happen in isolation. The Netherlands is a great example of a decades-long investment in pedestrian-first & cyclist-first infrastructure over cars. Cycles have their own dedicated lanes, increasingly not just painted on the car-lanes but separated from both the car lanes and sidewalks with elevations. And as they're ubiquitous and well-kept, cyclists have no real reason to drive on the sidewalk.

Cycling on the sidewalk just isn't a problem of any significance anymore in most places in the Netherlands. But when I went to Berlin and cycled there, I often found myself on the sidewalk by way of convenience and safety. The solution isn't to say no to bikes and have cars instead because cars have dedicated infrastructure they stick to, the solution is dedicated infrastructure for bicycles and incentives + enforcement to make them stick to it. It works very well in the Netherlands, which was actually, at one time, a country with tons of development geared towards cars.

I'm an ex-scientist and software engineer at a major tech company. I consume cannabis and have for several decades, on a regular basis. I find it helps tremendously when dealing with long, tedious work (common in software engineering) as well as being helpful with creativity.

There are positives and negatives; cannabis affects the memory, ability to concentrate and think, and mood.

One time, my health provider pushed me into a rehab program when I just needed a prescription refilled. I spent time hanging out with other cannabis consumers, alcoholics and narcotics addicts. TBH, there was a distinct difference between the regular cannabis users and the regular users of alcohol and narcotics (physical, mental and emotional).

I worked for a boss who was very successful but after an injury got addicted to narcotics/opiates. He had about 4-5 years of unhappy life before he died. Nobody at the job ever confronted him- they just let him wallow until he died, because he brought all the money into the department.

Many tech companies and elsewhere seem to have problems with alcohol- too much of it on site and off site and it leads to abuse and harrassment. Personally, I wish my company would serve joints or vapes at TGIF instead of crappy beer.

I'm not worried about people knowing I consume cannabis, because it's legal in my state, I have a medical prescription (it helps tremendously for my anxiety), I have a long and successful career, and hell, it's CA- 60-75% of people puff occasionally.

Some people look at my usage and consider it abuse, but I don't. I feel like I've found a sustainable medicine that's preferable to pharmaceutical alternatives, and use it responsibly. I expect to raise my kids, retire, and live to my 80s.

Why is it a US biased article? China has been doing this for years also, just not very well. I still think they aren’t doing very well in this area, especially since they make immigration or at least permanent residence so impossible, but other issues related to child education costs and environment make it difficult to live and work in china long term.
> Thoughtcrime?

That's an unexpected and intriguing direction to take.

Let's just assume that "disincentivize thinking" is a euphemism for "prosecute thoughcrime" and put it to the test.

A project I maintain has a monstrously complex build system. Part of my MO was to fix and improve it to the point that a mere mortal-- and even a newcomer-- can build the software without being a build systems expert.

Some of the work was a time-consuming pain. When I got behind users would come up with clever yet complicated workarounds which would propagate through the forums.

At that point I had essentially two choices-- either call user workarounds "good enough" or actually fix the bugs so that compilation remains easy.

The first option would inescapably lead to an I-had-it-worse-so-suck-it-up rite-of-passage for compiling the software. E.g., if you are compiling on platform V and want to use X, download Y and do command Z. As evidence, stacks of such workarounds characterized the build process before I improved the build system-- phrases like "not for the faint of heart" and "will probably take you a day" were good descriptors. Newcomers were dissuaded from learning it (learning it, i.e., you had to do something more than configure and make) and just depended on binary packages. And the ones who already knew the build system didn't have an incentive to mentor someone who wanted to improve the system-- they already had a mental map of the workarounds and knew that any change to the monstrous system would cause problems and be a time-consuming pain. It was much easier to just to pass on the workarounds. (Plus at some point there were actually zero developers who understood the system well enough to mentor anyone.)

The other option was to fix the bugs in the build system.

Because I had to slog through a harsh build environment and hated it, I improved it so that it would be easier for newcomers to build. I made a decision that made it less likely for the imperative "suck it up" to appear in the forums wrt to compilation. (Userbase is nice so I don't think they would have put it this way, probably something more like, "Yeah it's difficult, but that's just part of learning the system" or something like that.)

At the same time, the people who built the workarounds didn't complain. Instead they said, "Thanks."

As I see it I made a decision to improve a system. That decision almost certainly made it less likely for the following argument to be used: "I had it worse (or at least as bad) and did ok, so suck it up." This decision made it possible for more people to enter the developerbase in less time. Lots of positives, not so many negatives.

That's a good outcome for what I see as clear ethical behavior on my part.

Here's the question then: if "disincentivize suck-it-up thinking" is a euphemism for "prosecute thoughtcrime," don't we have to conclude that it is both ethical and beneficial to prosecute thoughtcrime?
