There is an audio option, but there's two problems with that:

• My family doesn't speaks English, so they don't understand,

• The option to change the language is not easily reachable,

We just tried, in the official example [1] and this is what we get [2].

Edit: The error shown in the image about the automated queries may be explained by the fact that I have installed a VPN in their computers to protect them against unfiltered websites and generic malware. We are using "Private Internet Access" [3] and although I could explain them that changing the IP address just requires a few clicks, I can see them forgetting that and getting stuck for several minutes trying to get the audio option working.

As much as I like rerere, I have had it result in silently[1] producing the wrong end result. Especially since I merge / rebase frequently, and end up recording lots of small conflict resolutions. Always always always check non-clean merges by hand or you'll eventually be surprised.

And sometimes I just resolved it incorrectly once, and now it always does it wrong. Is there a way to make rerere forget a resolution?

[1]: relatively speaking. it doesn't fail / pause the operation, so it's "silent", even though it prints out that it applied a conflict-fix.
If you think 'const' should involve recursive object immutability, then you don't understand javascript.i

I concur that it's mystifying how template functions got into the spec, but the most of the other arguments say more about the author's use whitespace than issues in the new language features.
IMO if it's uneelated to actual politics it just comes accross as lazy and stupid.
I don't think that's correct. Food safety regulations are not subsidies, for example.

That would be way more complicated/lossy than turning a coaxial generator.

In a sense, a good wind turbine has four moving "parts". The rotor axis and the actuation necessary to change the blade pitch. I'm no expert, but I don't think there's anything else.
Thank you, I will sign them up on this service and see if it helps.
I confirm that. My old Galaxy S2 could get much dimmer than my new Sony, even with one of those night filters switched on.
This is true if:

1. Your normal style of travel is to see and do everything, and not stay in one place longer than a few days, versus parking yourself at a beach/campsite/resort/etc and reading books for week.

2. You live somewhere relaxing, not a big noisy bustling city (or perhaps if you are particularly mindful). Even then, sometimes it's nice to get away from your usual scenery.

When you've got 2 weeks of vacation a year it's easy to feel obligated to see all the things. If you have the opportunity to do some long term traveling I highly recommend it. It's a very different experience to absorb culture by osmosis vs force-feeding it to yourself.
Someone copied our website, what are things we can do?
We found out today that someone blatantly copied our website (levels.fyi). The bad actor is at levelsfyi (dot) com. Are DMCA Takedown notices effective or is it just for a good scare. Would appreciate any advice on any actionable things we can do

That is actually fixed now.
Thank you. Indeed, the top-down/bottom-up view of education is analogous to the efficiency of breadth-first vs. depth-first searches in different problems. Depends on what you want to achieve.

The reason I use these is I think a lot of suffering comes from (or can be defined as) churning on deep-node problems without information from higher level concepts, and a notation that "locates" meaning in an broader ontology can relieve some of it, and yield new understanding.

I think this is a theme Ted Chiang is on to as well, as it appears in the literary world as well as STEM.
Hmm how is this a good rebuttal? I haven't read the book, but the original article is based primarily on clear assertions of fact and statistics. A "good rebuttal" world presumably show that those stats are wrong, or at best misleading. But John's rebuttal is just a bunch of ponderous, abstract philosophy, with the most compelling part (and it's not very compelling) being:

"Much of its more than 500 pages consists of figures aiming to show the progress that has been made under the aegis of Enlightenment ideals. Of course, these figures settle nothing. [Uh, of course?
Care to elaborate?] Like Pinker’s celebrated assertion that the world is becoming ever more peaceful – the statistical basis of which has been demolished by Nassim Nicholas Taleb [Oh snap! It was demolished by this dude I've never heard of, using reasoning that isn't provided? Dammnnnn, sick burn] everything depends on what is included in them and how they are interpreted. [Alright, I'm ready for you truth bomb]

Are the millions incarcerated in the vast American prison system and the millions more who live under parole included in the calculus that says human freedom is increasing? [Um, are they not? Or are you asking me to do the homework to see if your point has merit?] If we are to congratulate ourselves on being less cruel to animals, how much weight should be given to the uncounted numbers that suffer in factory farming and hideous medical experiments – neither of which were practised on any comparable scale in the past? [Good question... that you decline to answer]"

Basically: "X is misleading, because what about Y?" I don't know man, can you just tell me rather than leaving me guessing? It would be more compelling if he did his own homework rather than leaving his sucker punch as an exercise to the reader.

I think the original article is far more compelling than this so called rebuttal.
When I ask the tulpa what its identity is, it's basically me. Another part of me. It claims to be able to talk to God. It's identity changed over the first few months I've found and it slowly settled to "just me". It doesn't want me to start turning psychotic, so it doesn't really bother me with its own inner context. But it's not like I can't ask it questions.

Asking the tulpa what it is, basically kicks off a meditation on the nature of identity. Never any solid answers, only more questions. It's kind of a spiritual law.

We share the same interests. The things I think about are the same sorts of things it thinks about, so we often in communion about the deep nature of things.

The kind of strange thing is that it's personality can be bigger or smaller if I want it to be. It seems to lack a great deal of agency, it sort of reminds me of an intelligent weapon in Dungeons & Dragons. It shares my brain, and presumably my senses, but I can't shake the sense that it can access a reality deeper than my conscious mind can.

> Eg, can you say you are conscious of the neural spiking compression your retina ganglia cells are doing to compress input it's getting from their photonic receptors?

Well the retina ganglia cells can't be conscious themselves, so it's impossible to have a direct experience of what they're doing. The input has to travel into the brain before you can have an experience of it. All experience happens in the brain, though sensation can arise in the nervous system outside of it.

I visualize the brain as a giant kingdom with millions of 'people' involved, all doing their job quietly and without fuss, all to facilitate the conscious agent directing it. Some of those people are involved in creating that experience. You can meditate and get to know those people, and even play with sensation itself through trance, but trance involves shutting off sensation, or rather, the mind's ability to determine where and how that sensation arose. Hardcore Buddhist -style meditators describe 'sense doors' which I've had experience with but that's not an active area of focus for me. My focus is in the realm of meaning and the meta.
This comment itself kind of falls into that, isn't it? :p
> I have never met with a female coworker alone in an office, and have never socialized with women coworkers outside of work.

> Has it hurt the development of some of the women who have been my direct reports over the years? Probably, but it has also protected the women I care about the most, namely my wife and daughter, because it has prevented any kind of accusations from getting traction.

Jesus. You're aware that you could get yourself and your employer sued for admitting this, aren't you?

> Yes, remarkably, and despite carefully avoiding any sexual talk of any sort at work for over thirty years now, I have been falsely accused of sexual harassment a handful of times over the years, but nothing has ever stuck. I think it is, in large part, because I have been so careful.

If you need the Billy Graham rule, then I am entirely sure the accusations against you had more merit than you'd care to admit.
I guess you kind of answered my question. You think that there should be zero personal relationships (you seem to be hung up on a frat one, but I'll extrapolate to friendships) between a boss and anyone under their chain of command? Good luck having success building a company where those people aren't allowed to be friends. Mandated personal indifference sounds more corrosive than your scenario.
Fair enough, threads are indeed cheaper than many realize, even JVM threads, which are basically OS threads. But projects where I use Scala do tend to include a lot of service calls that are worth making concurrent (for example, hitting 3 services at once for a single request, or looking up 20 entities at once from a service that doesn’t have a bulk endpoint). And if you’re going to wrap this library with future calls, properly configure your threadpool, etc., you may as well have just used the very mature Play WS, and also get better efficiency. The APIs are pretty similar aside from Play WS returning Futures.
I don't recall where I read it, but I've came across a concept to where the computer, then kernel, simply load your application and everything runs in this user or application space which takes all memory and resources to itself.
You should submit this to HN.
In my view the ruling of the court is consistent with the law and the court's decision is therefore correct.

I think it is a matter of culture where most Americans tend to like "allow until proven harmful" and most Europeans tend to like "forbid until proven harmless" and hence most Americans are frustrated by the consistent ruling.

I said my defensive stance on this "probably" hindered the careers of "some" of them.

I never said I intentionally hindered the careers of any of them. When facing a choice of going above and beyond to help develop a female employee's career and risking my own career (and my family's well-being) by exposing myself to the very real and well-known risk of being accused of sexual harassment, I have chosen selfishly. (Here is where you tell us all how you would choose to risk your career to advance your female employee "because it's the right thing to do.")

It's exactly this sort of rhetoric that makes it difficult to have any rational discussion about how best to develop talent (whether men or women) in the current climate. The thesis that MeToo is more harmful than helpful is unpopular, I know, but thankfully no one has to defend its helpfulness because discussion of the realities involved is forbidden.
No, it's really weird for you to refuse to have a regular 1:1 with your direct report because she's a woman. That's creepy and not normal at all.
I think it needs to be to lure more and more participants in it, no ?
The main iterm features I use extensively are split panes, broadcasting, and profiles.

CMD+O brings up the profile switcher, type the tag I want and hit enter.

Profiles let you configure cwd, commands to run (virtualenv activation), theme colours, and a bunch of other things.

My “prod” profile ssh’s into a management box, sets the background to pink, and puts a “PROD” badge in the top right corner.
The sensible solution is to use the congestion charge to fund mass transit improvements. As mass transit gets better congestion goes down.
I know: "Winning in a lottery is more lucrative than an education."

But we are not feeding the next generation around the clock the illusion that they can realistically win the lottery, like with the reality shows.
Exactly. Other concept studies have looked at driving mechanical pumps to feed hydraulic pressure into a network [1], or (at a very small scale) mechanically drive a desalination unit [2]. As mentioned in the article, the problem is not figuring out if these concepts can work (usually they just do). The question is always: what will it cost compared to what we have now, and how much more complicated will the wind turbine become?

It's fascinating stuff. Those are the types of people our society will need a thousand years from now when we're coordinating larger structures in space. Maybe even coordinating builders/supplies from different planets!
This is a much, much better rebuttal than the other one. Thanks!
Also it reduces your carbon footprint. Our ancestors didn't need to go on vacation on the other side of the globe. It should stay à luxury.
There once was a documentary about a small group of British intellectuals (who also happened to be musical virtuosos) in which one of them asserted that the decision boundary between clever and stupid can have arbitrarily small width.
Sonic pi is great, I used it live as part of a noise / ambient music project I do. It really feels like just using a DAW but having more control and much faster. Unfortunately I fell off it, because I struggled with Linux audio so much and just gave up at some point. But it's good fun and more than a toy for sure.
I suspect based on the tone of your comment that you already know the reason why.
No transparency :(
I think the context is very important.

When you're an employee, while the quality of your work will affect your outcome, there is a "good enough" performance past which your efforts will have diminishing returns.

If you bootstrap a startup with a very small team, anything can make or break it. Any second, any thought, and ounce of energy you're not spending on it could be the demise of the whole project.

The amount of work the human body can produce in a survival situation is astounding. If you truly want to succeed, this is the state of mind you're going to be in.

> it’s really about working smart, not hard.

What about both?

> 70 hours of availability

For around 18 months, my day looked like that:

- 10h wake up, big breakfast, stretch, shower

- 11h - 12h talk with rest of team, figure out the most important thing to do (sometimes ignore that step and resume grind from previous day)

- 12h - 18h 90% coding, 10% infrastructure / research / testing / feedback

- 18h - 21h run errands, eat, help a bit around the house, spend time with girlfriend (now wife :)

- 21h - 4h 100% coding

This would be every single day, except for 1-2 days every other week that I would dedicate to socializing and relaxing.

I now work around 4 hours a day, fully focused, and I'd say it takes me 3 days to do what I would do in one 14 hours stretch back then. Productivity is slightly higher as I do less inattention mistakes, solve hard problems and figure out the right abstraction faster. That doesn't account for that much when you spend most of your time writing code and testing though.
It's important to train people to be aware of the difference between clean state and dirty state.

As long as you avoid dirty state you are guaranteed not to lose work.

You avoid dirty state in three ways.

1. Commit your work frequently in your working branch. You can always squash later using "git reset --soft".

2. Use "git stash".

3. Create throwaway directories if all you want to do is keep your experimental files handy:

mkdir temp
echo '*' >temp/.gitignore

Just like C forces you to be aware of how data structures are allocated internally, git forces you to have hygiene about your local file state.

The only "real" problem is when your git admin fails to pay attention and make sure the top-level .gitignore and .gitattributes are set up correctly.
It really just depends. I can literally count dozens of acquaintances who met their significant other at work, just in the past few years -- who are really happy together.

I mean, compare being at a place with like-minded people, people who likely share some of your interests, education background, etc. vs. swiping right/left for the 2-thousandth time so much so that you are fucking exhausted and questioning your self-worth after having been denied for months on end.

It's totally okay if you've started a romantic relationship at work. Just don't be an ass about it is all -- let HR know as needed, keep it professional, and all of the other obvious stuff.
It's not popularity based. Everyone pays more to renew and it's a lot more than the initial price.
React is quite consistent in naming things and if you write 100's of components (which you should easily accomplish if you use it seriously) then you will never mix up className and class. In fact almost everything in react is camel case which is also the most commonly used style for naming variables in javascript. This makes it very comfortable to create objects from variable names and spread it as props. It really did never annoy me at all (Maybe the first 10 components I wrote :D )

Also if you use a sophisticated IDE that shouldn't be an annoyance at all.
If you can quit social media, but don’t, then you’re part of the problem
I think so :(
But there is a lot less of people on "Love Island" (72 people total in 4 years) than Oxford or Cambridge graduates; so its not particularly a viable route to success.

There are probably > 208 lottery winners in the same period; no one would suggest that as a lucrative approach to life.

There were many famous explorers and worldly leaders/intellectuals throughout history.

As others have said, if you want to relax, it makes sense to start close to home. If you want to scratch that ancestral itch to explore then go travel.
Reminds me a bit of Flumotion which is a very similar idea with the very high level language being Python instead of Erlang/Elixir.
I've seen these experience things pushed hard by airbnb (in Europe) lately and I don't know what to think of them. Perhaps you could shed some light, being in the industry?

Cynical part of me says that most would be empty tourist trap type things. The concept of paying for a completely set up, planned, 'experience' seems to sort of cancel out what an experience is and what is special and enjoyable about it.

On the other hand, tours have existed forever, unique place-specific activities have existed forever, and I enjoy those when I do them. These things might be no different except done by 'regular people' instead of companies, and maybe a bit more diverse and creative, which in a way might actually really be more genuine and enjoyable.
What I've realized over the past couple years while working on my own projects is that I always could use a 'platform'. I wrote a new article? Would be nice to get it to an audience. A social media campaign? Would be nice to get followers. An app? Would be great to have users. And for all the negativity you can aim at reality show celebs, that's what they have to offer. An audience.
Seems like a build pipeline may be the way to go. Check out Concourse CI or Jenkins Pipelines.

Those allow to define multi-stage builds with custom triggers, which should allow you to trigger rebuilding dependent images.
It's the same reason why Hollywood doesn't produce less formulaic or smarter movies. It's a business, and their first priority is making money.
My son is nearly two years old now, two months before he was born we had a 7 day vacation in a silent cabin in Norway. Since then nothing I've done with our family would fulfill my understanding of the term "relaxing". I really wonder how other parents do it.

We've just been to the beach for a few days. I love spending time with my son & wife, but I really don't get "relaxed" by this, rather a feeling of fulfillment and contentness. It's no "charging my batteries" type of vacation that I've enjoyed before becoming a parent. What am I doing wrong?
Do you find there are a lot of people in your circle that post those?

My friends (I'm 54) are probably older and more boring than yours, but like if I open Facebook right now there will be grandbaby pictures, look what I did in my shed this weekend, and politics. That's pretty much the formula year round for my timeline.

I strongly suspect that's a trend with younger people. I don't see my friends and coworkers experiencing the same type of satisfaction when posting something that I see younger users having.

Hell, I'm glad I'm not the type of old person that doesn't know how to use Facebook. Just that is really enough satisfaction for me.
They may not be the answer you're looking for, but they're the answer.

At least read the pagers linked. I strongly recommend the book in its entirety.
Why is a pypi package better than a bash script? Or is it the URL shortener that concerns you?
I think a big challenge (and perhaps the root problem) is weighing the relative importance of different relative changes. Car deaths are down 97%, but suicides are up 30%. On balance, are things getting better or worse? (I'd say that car deaths are by far more common so the reduction there is more significant, but suicides are probably more directly correlated to happiness that car accidents...)

I'm more persuaded by the optimistic perspective, personally, but these are great contrasting pieces to highlight that it's not a slam dunk.
Ask HN: How does your company handle conference attendances?
At our company (based in NL), we just have a per-team budget that essentially comes down to EUR 1.000 per person. With around 25 in this particular team (most other team are <10) that comes out at a nice overall budget we get to spend as a team.

However, it's still next to nothing as most decent conferences are EUR 500+ entry, in which case we're limited to just 1 or 2 visits a year. Not even taking conferences abroad into account.

So the question now rises, how do other companies handle their employees wanting to hit up multiple conferences a year?
There are many ways to implements a lot of different aspects and factors here. I'm primarily just looking for different angles of approach, input, inspiration (like, for our HR team) :)

You can buy monthly parking and load balance. Monthly contracts are comparatively expensive but less expensive than parking as a transient and paying hourly.

Uber and Lyft are big enough that they might be able to make deals with regional or national operators for flat-rate on-demand parking if that's what they need.
