Though I cannot speak from experience, I recall reading similar reflections by G.C. Rota in his marvelous Indiscrete Thoughts (p. 203):

My late friend Stan Ulam used to remark that his life was sharply divided into two halves. In the first half, he was always the youngest person in the group; in the second half, he was always the oldest. There was no transitional period.

I realize how right he was. The etiquette of old age does not seem to have been written up, and we have to learn it the hard way. It depends on a basic realization, which takes time to adjust to. You must realize that, after reaching a certain age, you are no longer viewed as a person. You become an institution, and you are treated in the way institutions are treated. You are expected to behave like a piece of period furniture, an architectural landmark, or an incunabulum.

It matters little whether you keep publishing or not. If your papers are no good, they will say, "What did you expect? He is a fixture!" and if an occasional paper of yours is found to be interesting, they will say, "What did you expect? He has been working at this all his life!" The only sensible response is to enjoy playing your newly-found role as an institution.

I've never understood this choice myself. It has always seemed unhelpful given that the read/write returns an error anyhow. Why is it a helpful default?
I think it's partly an ingrained cognitive issue. There are some stable patterns to friendships and age, which this article is speculating around.

Women tend to have more than men over 30, and it is true that the number of new one's fomed tends to decrease from the youthful stage, where other patterns are more prominent (practicing mature social roles through play, etc).

Much of it is likely evolved, though there is definitely a large culural and environmental component.

I think the last point pertains to all people, and it is just threat women are slightly more emotional and social that they use this kind of thinking.

You have to remember and remind yourself that mirror neurons reflect others in terms of you and your experiences. This is valuable for quick thinking on the spot but should not be the only mode.

Sometimes this can be useful, to notice things introspection had a blind spot for.

In general you become aware of mortality when you see loved ones (not just family) loosing the health, some dying, and you realize that your age isn't that much different. Something that used to be "they are 3 times my age" suddenly becomes "just 15 years older"

The problem was/is that on Gogs there is only one person with write access. When Unkwon goes AWOL or on vacation, it means nobody can fix urgend security fixes into master. In that case a community fork would be necessary everytime the main dev is not available but PRs require merging.

> But the number 40 still has symbolic resonance. Jesus fasted for 40 days. Muhammad was 40 when the archangel Gabriel appeared to him. The Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years. Mr. Brandes writes that in some languages, 40 means “a lot.”

The word that appears a lot in the hebrew texts that they translate to "40" didn't actually mean that in context. It should more be translated to "gazillions". It was a word that just meant "an unimaginably huge amount". That's why it shows up so much in biblical things.
>>" If MMT doesn't predict inflation as a result of arbitrary creation of currency, then it seems we can conclude MMT is incorrect."

That is not at all what MMT says and I don't understand how an honest reader of the MMT literature would arrive to that conclusion.

What they say is that public debt and public deficits are irrelevant (there goes your "outlandish true" of balanced budgets) but they also say that inflation is the most important constraint in public spending.

>> And that's obviously true, to the extent that people are willing to accept that money in exchange for their goods and services (an extent which is not infinite)

In the MMT framework, there is always demand for the currency in what taxes have to be payed. That's obviously true. That doesn't mean that inflation is not a factor.

By the way, most cases of hyperinflation in history, including the infamous Zimbabwe, are due to a supply shock (http://bilbo.economicoutlook.net/blog/?p=3773).

While your phone may run systemd, modern phones are pretty powerful compared to platforms traditionally considered "embedded".

It's also an extremely niché phone... Witch I seriously wanted to try out, but couldn't because it was actually impossible for me to buy.

It's definitively not representative for phones in general, and certainly not for embedded Linux as a wider term.

Edit: Things might be changing though.

For instance my Netgear NAS used to run a custom Debian-derivative based on Debian 7 (which used sysvinit). But I discoverd today that after some recent updates it's now based on Debian 8 (which ships with systemd instead).

Based on that, I could produce the following plot[1], on a "embedded" device. Which I now know spends a tremendous 42 seconds booting the kernel. I guess it contemplates life, the universe and everything before moving along :)

> No one cares what the product costs to make

The production cost is one of the metrics customers use to decide if a price is fair or not, to them. There are other metrics, like the time that can be saved by using the product (ie. some way to quantify the product "use value"), but the production cost is often quite useful to detect abuses--and boy, aren't there a lot of attempts of such abuses.

Likewise. I've gotten flagrantly counterfeit body wash / shampoo and the only thing I buy on Amazon now is books, because they're the only thing that won't cause any problems to me if they're counterfeit.

It is only because we let others dehumanize is this way. In fact we do that all the time by setting up institutions with built in hidden ageism. Both ways.

We set up stereotypes and expectations which while generally accurate (when tuned, and they take a long time to tune), are not accurate in particular.

People mature at very different rates after all.

The main sociobiological difference over time is conservatism and reflex, which are not set in stone either.
So now you’re actually arguing that the vast majority of international immigration to California is not poor people from Mexico, but rather wealthy Chinese buying up homes?

Any data to back up this claim or are you just arguing to argue at this point? There are many news outlets that would love to see your data on this, because it is a startling revelation indeed.

Edit: to those downvoting this, please provide data corroborating his claim above. Otherwise there is nothing to downvote, as I am simply calling into question his claim that wealthy, legal Chinese immigrants outnumber poor illegal immigrants from Mexico in California.
Well, South Korea is an ally to US. At least US is not actively preventing and adding blockers for South Korea to gaining influence in the semi-conductor industry. For China, US is quite hostile and vigilant towards its development, which is not something to be happy about.

I don't want YouTube to autoplay, most of the time, I'm opening a lot of YT tabs at once and sometimes I need to seek out a specific one I am interested in most.

It would be much nicer if the various plugins I use to control that behaviour wouldn't stop working every 4 months due to another youtube redesign (whether in UI or Backend on the Client).
Firefox definitely does this, though it doesn't stop autoplay when opening youtube on a new tab (I'm okay with autoplay on the same tab, ie directly navigating videos or autoplay function in youtube itself.
An early version of the proto I found is:

So the proto is a red herring, it's basically just a container for a blob in some other format.

Show HN: Fitloop.co – A full-body fitness workout made easy for everyone
I use zsh and shell mode in Emacs. Knowing how to use a standalone shell, I've found, is synergistic with heavy Emacs use.

For one, and the most annoying, if a package update goes wrong, you're 'glove' is back to factory-made and you need to debug it to get it back. Shell helps here.

There are things that are easier to do in shell too. Batch processing of files over a whole directory tree is far more comfortable to me - especially binary format files.

I have shell scripts too. Automating parts of project development with Emacs is a bad idea since they can't be shared with colleagues who may be using, say, a JetBrains IDE.

Hey everyone!

Fitloop.co is a site I've been working on for a few years to help me learn the routine from Reddit's bodyweightfitness subreddit. The routine is freely available here: https://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommend...

I got into bodyweight fitness since I liked the idea of exercising wherever you are, no gym membership required. Bodyweight fitness is quite amazing, especially if you're a traveler or want to save time (and money) going to the gym.

As a beginner I wanted more than the wiki offered, a tool which would break down the routine in easy steps, show the youtube videos right there, and help me log and track exercises. So I made it.

Please. Can't we just hire people who are a bit more emotionally mature? We are told that people skills are important for programmers, why not reward those who have developed them.

I know it doesn't come naturally to many people but if you make an effort you can improve. For example a girl I know was terrified of public speaking. She started hosting stand up comedy shows in local bars. Stewing over it on your own doesn't seem like the correct approach to me.
“Most common types of thermal paper contain BPA or BPS” That's not valid everywhere.

The European Union decided in 2016 to forbid the use of BPA in thermal paper. [1] BPA is currently still used but will be completely banned in 2020. And, even if BPS will be allowed, EU surveys seem to show that alternatives to BPA/BPS are being considered for thermal paper.

This yields:

suggesting that the same arithmetic expression is both 1 and 0.

In GHC, there is a dedicated flag to spot such cases (-fwarn-type-defaults).

In general, the guarentees that the type system actually gives and also the ways to specify them appear somewhat unfinished and are also quite hard to understand, often necessitating semantic restrictions and syntactic extensions. For further examples, see for instance:

I'm an artist and if I want people to be able to access my work I have to do boring stuff to make that happen. I'm thinking of technical stuff like (as a painter) taking good quality photos of my work, fixing colour accuracy of those photos in software, writing code to process images into various sizes etc. Sometimes browsers change and I have to go and change my websites accordingly. But it doesn't have to be technical, artists might spend time organising exhibitions, making canvases, sourcing materials.

Yes, as an artist the whole point is to keep exploring and creating. But unfortunately you still have to do things like pay bills and go to the toilet just like "the others".

This stuff goes alongside and is complementary to the creative work. None of it is present in my mind when I'm working on a painting because I'm in the zone. But if you want to do something with your work other than letting it sit in storage you have to do the other bits too. Thinking you shouldn't have to do any of this extra stuff is prima-donna-ish in my opinion.

I don't think the artist is evil, it does sound like particularly annoying stuff for him to have to deal with. But as an individual user I personally never want any sound or video autoplaying on a website, ever, for any reason. Give me a button to click. For extra non-hatred, don't use a dark pattern.

I understand that creators might say "if you're on my site you're there for the full experience". This is what everyone who ever builds anything thinks though, that their thing is the exception, it really is ok just in this one case. No sorry, this is the internet, all someone has done to end up at your site is click a link, they might not know what it is, maybe they're listening to an amazing album on their great sound system via their computer and don't want it interrupted by bleeps. They might be at work, or surfing in bed with somebody asleep next to them.

I guess the new Chrome policy will be ok for most people but it's going to be yet another annoyance for me. I seem to never fit into the way AI/ML does its predictions and rather than save me a click it usually ends up making me click more as I try to tell it how wrong it is and then try to coerce it into doing what I want. I'm going to hate the future.
They're just modernizing the idea of a GIF. The GIF format was used long after it should have been obsolete, because despite its limitations, it had the key advantage of providing simple, silent animations that autoplay.

Now a lot of "GIFs" aren't in GIF format, they're videos with no sound, and that makes a lot of sense because it's 2018 and we've learned some things about compression and video since 1987.

If silent videos didn't autoplay consistently, people would keep using actual GIFs, using way more bandwidth for the same purpose.
That means a bunch of ifs in our player code. If iPhone then do that, if chrome then do this, if firefox ... what if chrome, try to autoplay, wait three seconds, fail, disable autoplay, wait for user interaction to run preroll. We'll see how will this end up for our VOD numbers.
