How the hell they come from the farmer example to their conclusions? If anything it shows that his cognitive ability is closely correlated to his personal level of stress.

You got to leap another two steps to get to their conclusion, first that the stress is related to "poorness" and not just to the unpredictability of the farming work outcome and second, that someone who is poor all the time will have the same effect in general all the time. It might be that the farmer is stressed because of the fluctuation in his situation but if he was poor all the time he will just get used to it and it will not affect him. I was much less stressed being poor student than having to deal with the ups and downs of a business.
I agree. I use them extensively with Yocto and the different layers (submodules) that make up my operating system. People have an adversion to them, but I find them easy to work with and very useful.

You’re entirely right, but he’s taken the long path to get there due to overdesign and it’s just eating up too much of his time. The model X was a fiasco and the 3 isn’t looking much better. He’s solving too many minor design issues and not shipping enough cars.
Thanks, for replying when I couldn't! Generally I agree with you. I would disagree that this level of short interest is typical, I think 20%+
short interest is high 90s percentile territory. The relatively low short ratio is more indicative of how highly traded TSLA is (short ratio = short interest / avg daily volume).

If there's a way to report who is short a stock, I don't know it. There are also other trades to profit from decreases in an underlying security (buying puts, selling calls) and I don't know about reporting obligations there, either.
FTA: "The challenge of porting Smalltalk-76 to a microprocessor with only 256k bytes of memory..."

Should that be bits, not bytes? 256k bytes was massive in 1976. Even at 8 bits, that would be 16k. I don't know that much about Smalltalk, but that still seems like a lot of space for the era.
Ah, the joys of the Open Plan. Here's how I see the thing:

First, Open Plan offices pack more people in a smaller space. It's measurably cheaper than proper individual offices, or even 3-4 people offices. And what can be measured tends to be optimised.

Second, whatever they tell you about the supposed benefits is but a sales pitch to get you to accept that we should all work in boiler rooms.

Third, many actually believe their own lies. One big reason is that despite having their desk at the Open Plan like everyone else, they're not subjected to half of the inconveniences: they spend most of their time in meetings, because that's what managers and executives do (coordinate and decide). They often have their desk closer to the corners of the Open Plan, where it's quieter, and they don't have everyone passing by taking a glance at their screen behind their back.

Fourth, good luck criticising your work environment without being perceived as the outlier that cannot adapt. I once did, an the HR lead "checked" by asking people face to face what they thought about the noise. Of course nobody told to her face that there was too much noise, most were still on probation, and they didn't want to appear as though they didn't fit in.

There is one solution: unions. You're not the only one who can't stand noise, you're just the only one crazy enough to actually talk about it.
Someone who completes your...
And it doesn’t help that docs sometimes mention how you do things assuming you’re using Google Cloud, other times with examples for Google, AWS, Azure, or bare metal, other times minikube or some other smaller scale wrapper, and other times it’s not clear what kind of platform the commands should ‘just work’ on as-written.

I had a ‘fun’ time figuring out the basics of things like ingress controllers in a bare metal setup because of this mishmash of docs.

The main reason I brought it up is that like the Apple "Store" the OpenBSD Ports (in my case) are a curated selection of software. I do mostly use pkg_add to install, as it is recommended and takes less time, but Ports is more recognizable; I still prefer it to Apple even if I'm not inclined to install everything form source like Gentoo does. The main difference over the Arch Build System in my experience is that most (all?) of the packages are also in Ports. Arch's AUR was/is helpful but my experience with it was always sloppier and I've grown disillusioned with user maintained packages and build systems.

edit: Yes, pretty much the same idea though.

Doing the hard work of personal development, including getting dating coaching, is where it’s at, for people whom are serious to make necessary changes to be their best self.

I have:

- the world’s worst anxiety (constant hyper vigilance, tension, shakes and near panic attack 24/7) rn induced by antidep medication and I can’t drink

- pseudoParkinsonian essential tremor so my hands are shaking like an 80yo... I can’t write and can barely type

- myoclonus - random, brief, involuntary movements of major muscle groups

- mild Asperger’s so I’m the life of the party (lol)

- ADD-I so everyone thinks I’m weird but roll with it bc there’s no other choice

- stutter in the most awkward way possible (silent block - gasping for air instead of starting to speak)

- broke af

Even with all that and more BS, I still number close, full close and get pulled by females. If I can hookup same night with hot girl(s), anyone can. No excuses allowed. It’s a matter of commitment to seek feedback and invest the effort to improve one’s outlook and habits... lack the knowledge or the practice, and someone won’t know what types of red flags to look for or how to keep someone else interested.
I'm not sure if I have the software skills for that (my compilers course is still pending in Coursera), but will try to do it!

However, I would not raise my expectations that much.

When you read this fascinating article from two well spoken, educated, convincing people, you should try and keep in mind the context of 1934. Stalin had only ordered the execution of a few million people, and the system probably had barely killed 10 million or so through starvation, gulags, and routine police brutality.

You could be absent from work for a whole day before automatically losing your job, apartment, commodity tickets, and meal tickets, and facing starvation. It wasn't until 1938 that being 20 minutes late became an automatic firing event, too. Of course, missing your quota could already bring a treason charge.

This is an intelligent, well meaning man - a tremendously well read scholar of economics and political theory - who honestly understood that the only way to achieve real Communism involved the deaths of millions and millions of people... And considered this a reasonable sacrifice.
It took me a good amount of googling to verify that, but you're mostly correct, there are only 132 developers with upload rights to the universe repository. Though I would argue that the distinction isn't just licensing, since Canonical themselves only support main and restricted.

This! So many parts of the docs are excellent in isolation, but if you jump from one page on Ingress Controllers to a page on Pod replicas, to a page on something else, the pages are obviously written by different authors who use different services (e.g. Google Cloud vs, bare metal vs. Azure) and some of the docs assume you’re also using said service, but don’t explicitly call it out. And then you wonder why some command or example isn’t working the same in minikube or some test bed environment.

Too much of my ‘getting up and running’ time was spent figuring out things on my own based on Stack Exchange, blog posts, and experimentation.
It's not about skill and approachability; it's about not having tens of thousands of systems in different companies built out of hacks and science experiments, where experience isn't portable and every system's hacks and idiosyncrasies need to be learned anew. K8s raises the abstraction level on deployment of a multi-node application architecture.

Further, as it builds out standard abstractions for external services, it should enable applications to be written agnostic as to the specific cloud provider. That's pretty valuable. It has the potential to reduce AWS's lock-in advantage.

How much do you charge for this idea-retraining? Why are you hiding behind a throwaway?
I don't think lack of type inference is the primary reason of un-attractiveness of Java compared to dynamic languages. The main reason is bad expressiveness of java's types itself.

You can't even have tuples. Neither tuple-like named types and named records. You have to make class every time, and OOP discipline tells you to hide data in it and make "behavior" public (this approach is definitely not for everything, so "beans" with getters and setters became hugely popular). Ubiquity of hashmaps in dynamic languages is huge relief after that.

Scala has reputation of "rubified java" rather than "FP for java" because of hugely improved expressiveness of types (presence of data types).

I have yet to see ML phds at my university (a well reputed ML institute ) care for Nature. Everyone publishes in journals specific to their area.

* Siggraph for graphics

So on and so forth.

I wonder how nature finds reviewers for ML papers , given its generic nature. Even ML researchers themselves have been struggling to give good reviews in the aforementioned top conferences. I can't imagine how the reviewers at Nature could appropriately review papers of the same quality.

Docker does use user namespaces by default, that's pretty bad.
I've though would be nice if languages had a 'secure' type qualifier which prevents leakage when something goes out of scope. AKA, compiler will issue code to zero out the data in memory once it's out of scope.

Extending that, passing a secure type to an insecure function should result in a warning at least.

> if the reign of Stalin was ... a peculiarity of a dire military circumstance

He assumed power in 1924, long before Germany was a military threat.

> few union generals were up for kamikazeing their men against heavily fortified confederate positions. In Grant, we found a man unconcerned enough to pull that trigger.

Stalin didn't kill off his subjects because of sudden military necessity. He starved to death tens of millions of Ukrainians simply to implement his agricultural policies. He'd force whole communities to relocate across the USSR. Again and again, he murdered large numbers in his purges, and sent more to Siberian labor camps, out of political paranoia or to implement repression. He was merely a person with no morality and no objection to mass murder. I think that in world history only Mao murdered more (and Mao had a larger population to work with - it's not a fair to Stalin to compare them!).

I read in one history that he kept villages in line by reducing their food supplies to the edge of starvation. Constant hunger was a good reminder to the villagers of being a good Communist: One slip, one act of apparent political disloyalty, and people start dying.

He also encouraged people to turn in family members to the secret police, including children turning in parents. That creates very healthy homes to grow up in. At one point, he wanted a Politburo member 'purged' (murdered or sent to a Siberian labor camp); nobody on the Politburo dared opposed him; they all knew that every one of them had helped to condemn their own family members.

I read an account of his program to build an atomic bomb. The scientists were given the American plans but thought they could improve on them. They were told that if the bomb didn't succeed on its first test, they would all be killed. They went with the proven plans and the test was conducted with an officer of the secret police in the room with them (the test succeeded). They all wrote a thank you letter to Uncle Joe for his great leadership and vision; one didn't sign the letter and he disappeared or died (or both).

There are so many great stories about good old Uncle Joe!

> Have to wonder if the reign of Stalin was a consequence of communism, a peculiarity of a dire military circumstance, or maybe a little of both...

The reign of Stalin was a consequence of Stalin, a psychopath and mass murderer. The political structure put in place by the Bolsheviks enabled him.

Does any horrible person appear on HN these days without someone saying, 'others did the same thing'. Stalin's not so bad - look at Mao!
Anyone else notice that it's also specifically the Wall Street Journal trying to run this angle?
The problem I have with the Luddites was their assumption that they were entitled to their way of life. It’s a similar refrain heard today... coal miners want more protection so they can continue to live and work in cole mining towns. They just want to feed their children... something we can all related to. But if times change, then you have to change with then. You don’t get to hold the rest of society hostage... either thru slowing tech progress via violence.. or continuing to support an industry that is destroying the planet.

The DataHand has magnetically held keys. If you press them too gently, they don't move at all, so there's no chance of pushing them a bit but them not registering.

When you push hard enough to move them, they pass through an optical sensor and then can move a lot further, so there's effectively no equivalent to keys bottoming out, or the feeling of jamming your finger into a hard surface.

It's such a good design to invert both those problems and make them non-problems, I'm a bit sad I haven't seen it anywhere else on a more common style of keyboard.
> Depending on where you live, ISPs do not need to own their own infrastructure. For a bit more information into how this can work, I'd recommend taking a look at local loop unbundling:

So, you are in favor of regulation forcing last-mile operators to allow competitors to use their infrastructure at a competetive price set by the regulator without any discrimination based on the data transmitted, right?

> Also, GP is alluding to things that have already happened in the past, in the wild west days of the Internet it was more common for small ISPs to get started (even with competition from the big ISPs like AOL and CompuServe).

Which didn't compete on the last mile, as the access medium was a telephone line. Consumer ISPs in those days didn't have to have a last mile, they simply used the monopoly's last mile of telephone wire.
Can the average coal miner realistically move on with the times, or are you just asking them to die in penury? Maybe when we phase out a whole way of life for the greater good, we need to take care of the people left behind. If not, then of course they’ll fight tooth and nail, and we deserve it for expecting them to just bed over and take it for everyone’s benefit, but their’s.

Interesting. I've actually found I'm similar - I prefer to have things going on around me when I'm working as opposed to complete silence. Didn't realize this is something that is associated with ADD.
It's true. I used to have put movies into 3 categories.

1. I'll see by myself
2. I'll see if someone else wants to.
3. Nope

With MoviePass, my friend group and I have been able to to add a 4th option to that list: I'll see it if it looks interesting enough and I have nothing better to do.

When I saw the movie Gringo, I got an email from Moviepass asking "Would you have seen this movie without MoviePass?"
>The sense we have that someone is fit generally comes from their posture.

Exceptions I've noted are joggers with hunched shoulders, splayed feet, leaping too high off the ground, and so on. By no means uncommon.

>Does this idea-retraining work as well as the gym?

Not a gym user but I gained a cm in height within a week of encountering the Alexander Technique (AT). My guess is that the best gym users have good posture too, if only for safety's sake.

It's not so much about fitness and muscular bulk but about whether you are receptive to the proprioceptive feedback from those muscles and joints. AT has a unique way of pointing you towards these sensations but it relies on personal contact with a teacher.
A bunch of high-level executives leaving a company in a short span is always a bad sign. These executives were all privy to data that outsiders do not have access to, and it seems that they all decided that the data is bad enough to jump ship despite apparent signs that the ship is righting itself.
