My sleep cycle is fairly standard, most of the time 11:00PM-7:30AM ... I can manage 1AM-9AM ~twice a week without too muhch of a performance hit, and if I am getting sick, I can usually mitigate by sleeping 9PM-8AM.

When tired I did experiment with having a siesta (~45 min rest at 14PM), but the logistics are weird (i.e. having a place to lay down, eye-mask for darkness, ear-plugs or withe-noise generator ...)

My best productive hours are weird :D 7AM to 10AM and 7PM to 10PM ... this unfortunately isn't really compatible with having any sort of social life :D

My wife is more of a night-owl, fine going to sleep at 2AM but not feeling rested unless she was asleep between 8AM-10AM, which is tricky with our kid going to kindergarden in mornings.

If she is tired enough, she can manage the similar trick of being in bed before 10PM to avoid getting sick.

Would you really like to program on such small screen, weak battery, low performance, flat unergonomic keyboard and mouse? It's for kids playing games in a car or reading documents.

On my laptop with i5 doing `yarn start & ./gradlew bootRun` takes over a minute, on a PC with Ryzen it's 8seconds, on a tablet, I don't want to know how long it would take on a tablet with slower disk and RAM.

"The market only pays for what the market wants to buy."

This is a typical wrong free market argument. You can create demand, it is a known mechanism in capitalism.

Study: San Francisco has the highest rent in the world – Story – KTVU
You view of trades work is romanticized. The labor is grueling for 90% of the bodies on any given site. Some days you can sit in your truck and play on your phone for 8-20 hours until you get sent back to the roach motel with 2-3 other guys to come back in 8-12 hours to do it again. Other days it's 100F, and you're standing on asphalt or concrete all day boiling in your sweat rushing through a month of labor in a couple weeks to meet the deadline. You're only rushing after two weeks of sitting on your hands because the paperwork got messed up and that precisely ordered $10k of sheeting, or brick, or wire isn't the right color so the entire plan needs to be recertified. The culture is toxic. The labor will break your body and if you don't get addicted to heroin to make it through your day you're probably an alcoholic and are probably a smoker. The guys who are making 100k+ are site engineers, masters on jobs they're there to fix, or are honestly overpaid. Most masters I know are 60-90k and would love to have a job cushy enough to sit around and complain about on the internet during the work day.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Predictably Irrational. It's a book about experiments in behavioural economics and relevant anecdotes. I'd recommend it to anyone, it's easy to read and highly informative.
I try to get 7-8 solid hours of sleep every night, and on weekends I make a point not to set any alarms to make sure my body wakes up when it's been fully recharged.

In the beginning I had trouble going to sleep at night, but for the last year I've been making sure to work out so that I'm actually tired when going to bed.

If I go under 6 hours I tend to become worse at my profession for the following day. The code is more prone to need heavy refactoring and the tests usually become kind of sloppy.

Following this regime I've actually become a "morning person" even if I considered myself a night owl before.
I do not have currently the hardware (nor immediate need for it) it is just something I have been wondering how much it would cost to get properly global intrnet connection. I think Iridium Go does not allow connections from other than selected apps, you can't make a generic internet connection from a laptop through go. But this is just based on what I have read, I have no first hand experience.
Controversial, but the piece, and truth is, there's definitely some merit to this position. The difficulty is in creating onboarding experiences that also account for the uniqueness of humans. Creating a replicatable process for introducing new hires to a company based on who they are, not on procedural flow steps unified for company benifit. That's the real work to be done.
Wouldn't "account creation" date be shared between test and train data and so would essentially constitute a train/set set leak?

E.g. user in training set has a meta-data about account creation.

Any test set case would only need to look at the account creation date to identify the user.

The key word you're missing here is pioneered. Nobody is claiming Microsoft invented the concept or was the first to release a product. It's that they were the first to have a commercially viable and sustainable product. I see Microsoft Surface tablets sold alongside iPads and Macs all the time. I don't see the Asus Eee Tablet.

It's just like Apple never invented the MP3 player but they sure as hell pioneered it.
To be clear - since it isn't really from the title - this isn't exactly about being able to find out who you are specifically if you want to remain anonymous. If I have a single Twitter account, and it's anonymous, this method isn't about finding out that I am John Doe and I live at 123 Main Street. Rather it's a method to associate a "throwaway" anonymous Twitter account with my "main" account if I want to make some tweets from a "throwaway" that are anonymous. The end result is the same, of course, if your "main" Twitter account contains personal identifying information.

A few things, from a non-US resident.

Freedom isn't the right to do what you want. It's the right to be left to your own devices, within the law. America is the most successful meritocracy in the world. Freedom of endevour, if you will.

Second, equality don't mean everybody is equal. It means given any two people with the same qualifications, experience, work ethic, etc and same risk via statistical analysis, they should have equal opportunity.

Third (and I don't even why you're arguing about employment opportunities), employment is a contract between two people. If somebody can't find a job paying 20 dollars an hour for their service, they should have the right to negotiate a lower wage to justify their employment. A minimum wage of above 20 dollars simply makes that person unemployable. Talking about paid vacation, it's the same thing. If you're worth it then your employer will provide it. If you are not worth it, and it is a right, then too bad you don't get a job. Some US engineers I know get insane amounts of paid leave that I could only dream of (coming from a country with mandated vacation).

America along with China are two of the very few countries left where people get compensated what they're worth. China not so much because of rampant socially accepted bribing, connections, etc.

This can't be true by definition. Being maximally rational means behaving optimally. If your behavior doesn't provide a good cost-benefit ratio, what it wan't rational to begin with.

One big issue I see with people acting "rationally" is they don't take into account all factors, like the time it takes to analyse your options vs just going with your gut.
Another perspective would be to try to model the costs of the hiring process, and how the overall cost per hire might change if you could adjust the survival rates for each stage of the funnel (or other parameters, such as what the budget is for the role, or flexible working conditions, or how long you're willing to train people, or whatever)

e.g. i imagine the largest cost is going to be onboarding the people that you've decided to hire, not the stages in the preceeding application/scheduleinterview/interview/techinterview/offer steps, so however you fiddle with the funnel it's probably not going to make the process 2x as cost efficient, but there is some risk that the funnel is perhaps selecting for the wrong people .
Losing pens and video adapters is definitely a weak point of the original surface design.

The mind is meant to be a servant to the body, not the other way around.

A life lived disconnected from the body results in depression, illness and ultimately, one devoid of humanity and instead enslaved to systems and institutions.

Darth Vader represents the ultimate disconnection of mind from body.

And, our collective and individual trauma makes it difficult to remain in our bodies.

The trick is not to suppress or numb out the emotional information we receive.

Rather, we are being called to feel it fully, heal our bodies and traumas, so that we can be in deep attunement with our body and life itself.
Support is not equal to what Microsoft has accomplished with the Surface.
For your human comfort yes. But mosquitoes are part of the food chain, and also help mixing blood from very different species. This, in turn, allow micro-organisms that should never meet to interact with each others, giving a new path to biodiversity.

As annoying as it is, it's a useful critter.

You see, the way you react is the very cause of our current troubles: we only see the living systems as a way to please us, and only on the short term. When they don't please us, we start hating them, and find a way to bend them to our will.

Now we destroyed most of the systems, or at least their balance, and we are painfully discovering that it may dooms us all.

So let's try to adopt a different point of view before we face even more terrible consequences of our gluttonous actions.
You know, I actually had been wondering about the length myself for a while, but I hadn't seen any comments or quantifiable information on that one way or the other. I was wondering how much they had considered that even in a narrow hole they might need extra room of more than twice the length of the tube afterward to make sure it goes through, if the passage doesn't go straight. The bendability per se I admittedly didn't explicitly think about, though (though it kinda factors into the size). Every diagram I've seen so far has been grossly not-to-scale for something this small, and every objection I've seen thus far has been about the diameter, not the length or the shape. If you have any information on the shape (besides the diameter) it'd be awesome if you could link it here. (Unfortunately I have to go offline so I don't have the chance to Google further right now.) Thanks for the reply!
No idea what cost that comment refers too. If you are Facebook or YouTube or Twitter or Amazon sure you need your five thousand man PAID army of content reviewers to keep the data clean cause the data is mostly useless. But if you are running Wikipedia search or Stackoverflow's search or the team at the library of congress please go and take a look at the size of these teams and their budgets and their growth rates.
I don't think an exploitative relationship is implied or required here, but it's certainly a big danger (probably the biggest) one would have to be super alert for if this was to be performed at any scale (which exists already, by the way).

E.g., I heard that Minnesota has some sort of routine in place for voluntary surrogacy, which costs the adoptive parents on the order of $100k, of which only ~25k goes to the birthing mother. (A large part of the cost is administration and health checkups/treatment/insurance).

It doesn't sound right to me that only 25% of the proceeds should go to the star of the show, so to speak. But this doesn't imply that it is impossible to do this ethically. Regulation that's well thought-out, as well as a sound, pre-existing social welfare net, is critical.
The same was true of the author's previous book, Game Programming Patterns, which is now complete and fully published.
How many long term democracies are there? If you mean US and not see corruption (which is only getting worse) then you are paying very poor attention. The US is an oligarchy at best and a fascist state (and no I do not mean Trump) at worst.

I feel this is missing some industries with smaller company sizes and extreme employee to revenue ratios, e.g. Hedgefunds, High-end Legal Practices etc. Even more so as these may have the ability to avoid support-functions (HR, Mid Level Management etc.) that don't directly add to the bottom line.
>2% is nothing to sniff at in cycling (people pay thousands of dollars for that kind of advantage)

2% is nothing to sniff at only if you're hampered by the arbitrary UCI rules. By far the biggest factor in cycling performance is air resistance, and the obvious solution (fairings) is banned. The UCI has been disastrous for bicycle technology. Most high-end buyers like to pretend they could compete professionally one day, so they abide by the same rules, which means there's no incentive to develop truly fast bikes.

The UCI rules should allow any safe design, and avoid giving an advantage to richer teams by setting a price limit (bicycles are already required to be commercially available).
I can already do that with my bank.

... ease of maintenance and service ...

Exactly, and gears and chain are horrible in this regard. The absolut vast majority barely maintains their chain which leads to a much lower efficiency and really poor longevity (no it is not hard, but apparently too hard/boring to get done).

Unless the owner is a bike enthusiast you can almost guarantee that the maintenance is abysmal.

I realized this for myself and bought a belt-driven bicycle so I wouldn't feel bad abusing my current bike. For your day-to-day bike I'm very happy with it and the maintenance benefits alone make it so worth it.
I think the author of this article has fundamentally missed the mark. He talks about humans as if they come out of the womb being able to play Chess. On the contrary, we try and fail to make even simple sounds, and later, words, phrases, crawling, walking, etc.

Show HN: Can’t Sleep App – AI composed music sleep app for iOS
Hi HN, Thomas here, founder of Can’t Sleep App and Aussie expert in music & sleep. We’re really excited to be here. At Can’t Sleep, we believe in the power of music to help anyone achieve more in life. About 5 years ago, I discovered music psychology; the answer to why and how music changed my mood. I knew experientially that music helped me get through the day but was surprised to find scientific evidence of music helping people to focus, relax and sleep. I started Can’t Sleep because I wanted to use this music psychology research as a tool to help people. I recognised the impact poor sleep has on society and saw an opportunity to help poor sleepers. Can’t Sleep plays unlimited relaxing music scientifically designed to help us fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed. The music is composed and played using algorithms. This makes the music unique every time, meaning it never gets boring and we don’t habituate to it. The full version lets us choose our own instruments & ambient sounds, and this personalization makes the music more enjoyable and effective. Because of the generative element of the app, in the future we can build in real-time personalization such as changing the speed of the music to match your heartbeat. We just launched on Product Hunt https://goo.gl/jKUazd
I hope we can welcome you to Can’t Sleep, so we can help you sleep better tonight!

The CPU specs for the Surface Go are on par with a slower current-gen i5:

You would be horrendously surprised if you knew what was going on in other western countries. You go on YouTube to find long form discussions between two (real) intellectuals on important topics and the vast vast majority of them are Americans. There is nobody fighting for western values anywhere else in the western world. Everybody is too scared.

America as it stands today, is the most free country in the world. It may sound grim, and that's because it is.

Overrated is probably overstating it. It would be better to say:

Originality Without Execution is Futile
Headline doesn't match the content; while the article is more nuanced, it still seems to put too much blind faith in our evolved emotional systems.

> On the other hand, given that our emotional system—that gives us information points through a sense or a judgment—has been refined by the battery of evolution for much, much longer than the thinking mind, we know that it absorbs more of the nuances of reality before it comes to a conclusion.

That doesn't follow at all; if anything the opposite is true, our emotional system is quicker to discard nuance (because in the ancestral environment it was more important to make an approximate decision quickly, whereas in the modern world the opposite is true).

> In fact, Barrett’s model even suggests that cognition and emotion are not distinct at all.
> the seeming irrationality of a well-tuned emotional system, within the right context, can fill in gaps that reason misses.

It's not about irrationality being an advantage or "filling in gaps". It's about the speed of our emotional system making it useful despite the irrationality. It's well worth making the best possible use of the cognitive tools we have, including our emotional system, but that doesn't mean the flaws of those tools cease to be flaws.
I don't agree with you on this completely, even though I'm very pragmatic and usually very rational myself. Sometimes it's better to consider the emotional effects your decision has, rather than just the logical reasons to pick A or B. I learned that the company lives and dies with their employees so sometimes making the rational decision can cost you a lot, even though, most people would agree with you about it being the right decision.

„Commercial“ in German would be „geschäftlich“ or „beruflich“, but the word used in legislation here is „geschäftsmäßig“ which probably also translates to „commercial“, but maybe better as „in the style of a business“.

The word has been chosen specifically and distinctly in this field of law so it can mean something specific, not the run-of-the-mill meaning of „commercial“.

You show ads (or Wordpress does for you in the free offering)? Geschäftsmäßig. For certain.

You have a web site with information that is interesting to many people (maybe how to repair bikes)? Geschäftsmäßig. Very probably.

You have a photo gallery of aunt Mary‘s 80th birthday. It‘s password protected, and you share the password only with family. Everyone else only sees the link text „Aunt Mary‘s birthday“ and noth8ng more? Not geschäftsmäßig. For certain.

Everything between examples two and three? Uncertain. Assuming „geschäftsmäßig“ is a good idea.
Check r/surfacelinux, but to answer your question, usually you can Linux well when it's patched to support all the non-standard hardware. If I recall correctly, Surface up to Surface III are well supported so far.
