Considering the near uniform praise I see for Leuchtturm’s offerings both here and elsewhere, I think I’ll give them a go next time I need to stock up on writing materials. (Go-to notebooks for ages has been Moleskine squared hardcover small ones for the field, Rhodia dotted A5 for the office.)

For field work (workshops and offshore) either a pencil or a Fisher Space Pen does it; office? Mostly a fountain pen, a habit kick started when I was five or so and my grandfather gave me an old fountain pen and told me I’d better learn to write using one, as that would teach me how to write properly. I’m not convinced he was right, but it nevertheless started a life-long love affair with fountain pens...
Nice, I've almost ordered one of those in the past. My idea was to actually remove the original body of the pencil and have a better one 3d printed for it. The cost/effort is probably completely not worth it, but it does look feasible per the teardown looking fairly straight forward.

I don't know about C++, but it may be doing something different from Rust here. In Rust, the ! type (which I pronounce "Never"), isn't just a case of "I, the programmer, don't think any value will exist here"; the compiler forces you to prove (just like every other type is a proof) that a value can't exist. The Never type can't be instantiated (it has no constructor), and functions that "return" Never must prove that they, er, never return; imagine a function whose body is just `loop {}` (or the stdlib function process::exit, which cannot return by dint of killing the callstack when the process dies).
It’s too late for that. Alexa is bundled in new Sonos units, and anybody with a Fire TV already has it.
Yes, that was technical. That's the stage we're in right now because AP is quite new. It will take a while for it to develop and mature to the point where interesting new use cases emerge for non-technical people. Personally I'm excited by the potential, even though all the answers aren't there and you have to use your imagination a bit.
The general public already understands that one can have multiple email providers. Maybe just word this better, but I don't think the concept itself is that hard to understand.
There are a bunch of problems.

I had to stop using Reddit with the recent redesign. There's no way to get at a community you like without being stuck on the platform. The growing ActivityPub ecosystem is different. I can hop over to another instance and still talk to the same people.

I can't do that with /r/DaystromInstitute. It's lost to me because I don't want to deal with Reddit. Maybe it's less intuitive--and I think nerds give average users way too little credit--but I prefer it to losing access to a community over platform decisions.
You can be dismissive of fan-death, but please know that the people who believe in it do so more out of national identity than reason. I have met many very smart lovely people who believed in it. Think of it more as regional pride in local barbecue than an actual belief. That said South Korea is far too hot in the summer to have a fan shut off automatically.

You'd think, with enough data, you could build causal models of purchases of product types.

Amazon certainly has associative models (people who buy this also buy that)—it seems like they would just need to add a temporal dimension to the input data.
The Ares Project (https://www.aresnorthamerica.com/) did something like this with robot trains shuttling concrete blocks up and down a slope. No news on that project in awhile tho. I hope this idea is more successful.
You can follow anyone on any other Mastodon server with that one account, so it's basically the same. That's what the federation is for.
I think this idea is excellent and really opens up the idea of thinking of non-traditional grid energy storage. Let's go back to the basics of what we can do to store energy and retrieve it at the basic level.
> Some people really enjoy shows which other people consider to be "junk."

A matter of learning to appreciate a genre. For example I like certain types of reality tv which others think is 'stupid'. But first I didn't say all reality tv and also there are things I could point out to show why it is I appreciate it to anyone watching (one is learning from facial expressions at least in people that are not botoxed). By the same token I have no appreciation of sports. I wouldn't call it 'junk' simply because I realize others have learned to really like it. But it's no different than anything else. And the reason most people wouldn't criticize sports is because they see it's widely accepted mainstream. So they are not going to be the one to go out on a limb and call it out. Although they would something else (like shooting guns as a hobby).
I can't be the only one to think that showing a certain level of emotion that reflects the pressure of the environment is more appropriate than projecting sociopathic calm, can I? I understand that people panic, and leaders are the most obvious responsible party, but...maybe people should just not panic about someone else under visible duress? Can we please just lead ourselves a little more?
At 65 USD I thought it was interesting, checked it, but... the Remee does not actually detect REM cycles.

Netflix's bigger problem is that much of its content looks good on the surface, but on closer inspection is not worth the time.

What’s not “worth the time” to one person doesn’t matter. Netflix has enough aggregate data to know what type of content keeps people on versus how much it costs to acquire the content.

The only content that would be “junk” to Netflix is content that doesn’t engage enough viewers to keep down churn.

This is a recurring topic on HN.

My (European) experience is that academia provides a great work environment. If you have tenure, you're free to work on whatever you want, you have very low pressure (beside the pressure you decide to inflict on yourself), you're basically paid to learn new things and teach them to others. You can easily visit other institutes abroad. You get to meet interesting people. Age discrimination isn't an issue. The salary isn't on par with what you could make working for a company but it's enough. If you're ambitious and talented you can easily earn money on the side (consulting, starting your own company, taking a leave) and you can have the best of both worlds.
Giving scuttlebutt a try - thanks! Here are my experiences:

1. App seems quite unpolished for Windows, it looks best not maximized. I was asked to provide a name and was a little disconcerted by the message that this is going to be public and cannot be deleted.

2. I've now joined a public server. This required going to a github page, following a link and copying and pasting an "invite" into the Patchwork application. The first one I tried threw and error that I didn't understand, but the second one worked and connected me to over 700 people.

3. The channels page is completely empty.. it seems like all I can see is a feed of people following one another.

4. Problem above solved by re-starting the app! Now taking a long time to download information, but I can see actual content.

5. I posted my first reply to someone's message. You get the prompt reminding you that everything is public and forever every time it seems.

My overall impression after about 30 minutes doing the above is that this is potentially really cool, but a few steps away from being immediately usable by someone who isn't tech oriented. Going to try a few more Scuttlebutt apps as I'm curious how well my identity can transition across different clients.

I have a very different point of view: HOC are core to my way of doing things, as I try to make each component as self-contained and easy to use (fewer props) as possible. Why would I give a user object to my component when it could get it by itself?

It means that components are more coupled to the state, but way way less coupled between them. Which I find to be easier to work with!
The selection on Netflix's streaming service is atrocious.

Their DVD service ( https://dvd.netflix.com ) is far, far superior. All the user reviews are still up on there too, for now.
Yeah, I've seen the "confidential" mark on the same documents (or older versions) — these were published on board vendors' sites (e.g. Pine64's).

Not sure what would be in a "secret 2nd part"… the only thing I can think of that's missing from "Part1" is the display system. But there is a driver in mainline Linux for that https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/gpu/dr...

This was not a low carb diet study. The lowest carb group were eating at least twice as many carbs as what any reasonable person would consider low carb.

Also, if you look at table 1, you can see the "low carb" group was the highest smoking, most diabetic, more male, highest hypertensive, and least exercising group. Is it really a surprise that these people have higher mortality?
It is not a change in behaviour what is sought but a change in accountability. Even today you are expected to behave predictable. However it is not punishable by death today.

> So for the vast majority of history we weren’t human?

For any definition of "human" that is objective and universal, yes.

If you swore fealty to the wrong lord, worshiped the wrong god, were born into the wrong clan, ethnic group or state, you were considered something less than human. And of course, nobles claimed descent from divinity, making them more than human.

The concept of a common humanity with inalienable rights is relatively modern and in many places still controversial.
I'm not currently looking for another job because I'm moving country soon (And they're letting me work remotely). It's not that my lifestyle in general is expensive, but when I see a Wetherspoons I can't help but have a cheeky pint or two (Which adds up at the end of the month).

It's not clear to me why this would get you faster development cycles or better performance than application-level checks? And I'm not really sure what "dependency tracking" is supposed to mean?
To some degree what you use is dependent upon what type of content it is. Is it purely text? Text and some images/graphics? Tables? Equations?

A good starting point for primarily text or text+pics is whatever editor you like to use everyday. Once your content is final (or nearly so) you can export as ascii and then add latex (or variant) formatting.

If it is heavily equation oriented, there are a number of wysiwyg type latex editors that may be helpful or just bite the bullet and start as a latex text document.
> Google Maps's quality seems to be significantly dropping. They're missing most of the 300k addresses that have been renumbered in the past decade in Kitsap County (just across the water from Seattle), and when I go much outside Seattle proper, their maps are spotty compared to OpenStreetMaps.

Maybe because they like to wait and see if they can snarf up open source map data rather than generate it themselves :)

I find it interesting that there isn't yet a sort of "streaming-service library discovery/manager" app that doesn't do any streaming of its own, but rather just offers a good discovery UI for the streaming services you connect it to, where clicking "watch" in the service deep-links to the individual content item in the respective streaming app.

This has been done to death in other content areas (I think there are more emulated-game library browsers than there are emulators!) so why not for streaming services? Is it that the streaming services don't expose the deep-linking ability?
I think the problem is, that leads to a society that's a bit like a sports car being driven by a nine-year-old. STEM and vocational stuff is great for getting to places fast. It's awful for making a society that can talk critically about where it's going.

I say talk, and not 'think', because I don't think STEM people are bad at thinking about problems critically. I just think a lot of humanities is about developing a common set of reference points, a common vocabulary, so you can work on social problems together.

If you don't have that, you can't really stop malicious actors from drowning out their opposition, who are isolated by the fact they don't share a common conceptual toolset. And if that happens for long enough, you end up with a society that's basically a bunch of amazingly powerful machines operated by Fox News.
> Nobody actually knows which diets are best for longevity, as it's an impossible question to answer without a trillion dollar randomized trial. Supercentenarians eat a wide variety of diets,calorie/methionine restriction helps in some animal studies, etc.

But all of the super centenarians ate very little meat, with the exception of some fish in a few populations.

And we don't know for certain whuch diets will help you live the longest, but the knowledge and evidence we do have very heavily favors a diet that is primarily plant based, low in protein, and has very little chicken/pork/beef.
Once you can analyze all the things someone watches and all the views on a single video, then it's not particularly useful to know if this one person liked this one video.

I'm not sure how much it matters how good each episode of a tv show is. Do you look up the rating of each subsequent episode before you watch it? If most people in your cohort were hooked enough for 5 episodes before tapering off, then certainly that's a tv show you may want to see.

Also, if everyone was interested enough to sit through something even though most people would say the payoff sucked, as opposed to bailing on the video early on, then I'm not convinced it's much different from a movie that people sat through and particularly liked when it comes to recommendation. So people enjoyed 75/90min instead the full 90/90min, not very damning.
>"I really wish to know why those people were on low carbohydrate diet though."

They weren't. It looks like the lowest in the study was ~20%, which is about the upper bound on what could be considered "low carb".

It's hard for me to get too upset. Personally, it seems a bit conspiracy theory to think it's people might read negative reviews.

I agree. Why would I care about whether reviews are positive or negative about a movie before I started watching it? It’s not like I have spent money if 30 minutes in I realize it’s trash.

I feel the same way about movie reviews now that I have AMC subscription movie service. If a movie is bad, We’ve wasted nothing except for 2 hours of our life and a little gas money.
That's why most people say to separate the connected component (that gets few props) wrapping the unconnected one (that gets a lot of props). You usually test the unconnected.

If you want to test the connected component, it's still good to separate them as you won't test the same things (correct props are passed down, rather than UI renders)
They won't watch the next show in the same category or series. Or the next. Seeing one 'meh' to the end is one thing, seeing two to the end is unlikely, seeing three and they are lying in their comments. I fact I believe minutes watched are more accurate than ratings. Very few people take time to rate, and of that category even less rate properly for algorithms to make sense.

Still, they could have left it in and just collect the data. Even if for providing a false sense/feeling of choice and ownership in the matter ;).

> How is it a shame if nobody uses the reviews

I am not a Netflix user, so this is just a guess, not an analysis. But could it be because user reviews used to be featured more prominently, but they were de-emphasized into oblivion over multiple years and UI updates?

I know a news organization I visit frequently did this to their comment section. After their last UI design, they might as well have been put them the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'.
You seem to suggest these threads have been 'shut down' ( in reality, user flagged into submission ) due to controversy.

I am suggesting these threads were not controversial and were flagged down because they are boring.

Sure. They need a variety of content. The number of heavily serialized "great" shows I'm going to watch that may require me to rewatch once or twice and head to the recaps and discussion boards to totally grok what happened this week is extremely limited.

But beyond that, while I'm sure Netflix uses data to allocate money for genres and other types of planning (and help determine whether to keep shows on the air--maybe it's a small audience but they watch every episode 3 times), shows are ultimately creative processes. Casts don't click. Leads become toxic. The audience just doesn't warm to it. No matter what the data said.
The problem is with the incentives: if the recipient of a DMCA request doesn't immediately take down the target, they become liable for any copyright infringement.

While Google would probably win if it came down to a lawsuit, the two options they have are to take it down and let the site operator dispute it, or go to court to defend the actions of a group they're unaffiliated with. The obvious choice for pretty much any group is to take it down.

This has been my same approach lately. I'm noticing certain friends are constantly the ones either starting arguments, or their posts are the ones that frequently get bumped back up to the top of whatever the hell Facebook's "timeline" thinks its doing-because there's a small arms conflict going on in the comment section.

Even though in many cases, I would otherwise be in complete agreement with the core argument being made. The vitriol and vociferation is vexing though (sorry about that).

For all the shade I throw in its direction, the 'snooze' and 'unfollow' features have been more than welcome additions to Facebook as far as I'm concerned.

Gotta be honest, I never thought I'd see the day where "First day of school" pics and statuses actually get engagement from me--they're so much more pleasant and calming than "($CONSERVATIVE_PERSON| $LIBERAL_PERSON | $GROUP | $PARTY ) DID A THING, I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT IT, AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR ABOUT IT".
