Why'd I lose you? There is a case to be made for Trump being the only US president to stand up to China in any meaningful way. He was able to do what everyone was afraid to do (impose tariffs regardless of any threats from China) and that takes strength. You don't have to like him as a person, but you cannot claim he's not doing a fantastic job.

I recently reported a post made in a regional language(language for which I'm sure Facebook doesn't have any translator/interpreter) as hate speech.

So lets go in a different direction.

If you want to be the best you can, taking care of yourself is of Vital Importance.

- Getting enough sleep is important for memory formation.
- Eating healthy, nutritionally diverse keeps your body fueled and your mind sharp. The American diet tends to be deficient in vitamin B7, vitamin D, vitamin E, chromium, iodine and molybdenum [1].
- Regular exercise improves mood, sleep, and memory. [2]

I'm sure you can see how these would be helpful. Taking regular breaks, distracting yourself, is also hugely beneficial in how it can shift the gears in your brain. It also adds creative material for your brain, which helps drawing those loose-but-oh-so-useful associations.

On top of that, reducing stress is a big plus for brain function. Especially in the long term. Go easy on yourself, you don't have to be the best. Heck, what even is "best". Everything's relative. No one is better at being you than yourself. Practice self-compassion. Everything is OK.

If your issue is that you Recognize all of this, you Understand it, but the problem is that the Thoughts still pop up, Remember: You are not your thoughts. Whenever you recognize it occurring, just take a deep breath, Acknowledge the thoughts, label them, and focus on being present. Regular meditation is pretty helpful in this regard.

Or, establish a purpose, a goal to shoot for, either short term or long term, and break it down into tiny pieces. Measure your progress, and relish your data-backed improvement. Measure how well you take care of yourself too, and Prioritize That. If only just because it would benefit your progress on your purpose. Or heck, quantify yourself and figure out how your lifestyle affects your brain's efficiency. [3]

It has nothing to do with Linux though. This morning my ubuntu 18.04.1 running kde took 2 minutes to boot and then 3 minutes and a half to load the desktop. Then it'd hang on the menu when typing/searching for an application, I'd wait for the menu to disappear and then it'd work. shrug

>There is almost no work -- the main sources of income are beekeeping and a bit of forestry. There's no tourism, even though, according to UNESCO, the air here is cleaner than almost anywhere else in Europe.

One of the greatest things the tech industry could do to decrease the economic inequality due to location would be to embrace remote work. Imagine what even having 10 developers living in the village could do for its economy.

One area that this would for sure revitalize would be Middle America. There are towns and counties that are in a deep economic recession, but have lots of cheap land and housing. Meanwhile in Silicon Valley, developers making 6 figures worry about whether they can afford a shack. Remote work would be a great boon for both workers and communities.
>> society still does

That's just, like, your opinion, man. Society certainly does not need so many graduates in English Literature: there are only so many open positions at McDonalds, and they as a rule do not require a degree.

If there's market demand, society can pay real cash money for it. It used to be that most writers, painters, historians, etc, etc, had to also have an useful day job. _Albert Einstein_ had a day job up to a point. There's nothing wrong with that if the market can't support full-time work in a certain profession.

The second part of your argument I do agree with: there are a lot of details to flesh out. Maybe it will compel the colleges to teach broader sets of skills, since if they teach a narrow profession that's not useful they don't get paid.

GUI's are faster when you're near the device and don't have your hands full or when the command is complicated. But I have Echo's in various forms in most rooms now because while I also find discoverability an annoying issue there are plenty of commands that are obvious enough to learn quickly that work for the easy cases that you do all the time. A dozen or so commands covers maybe 90% of what I want it for.

Web applications are the best example for Wirth's law. It's really mind-boggling if you think about it. None of the client-side components of a web application were originally designed for what they are used for today:

1. a programming language (Javascript) that turns into a nightmare if you try to write programs with more than a few thousand lines

2. a user interface that requires you to learn two additional declarative languages (HTML and CSS), both of them equally incomplete and crappy.

3. an API between 1 and 2 that is so lacking that you need an external library (e.g. jQuery) to reduce the amount of boilerplate code to a sane level.

4. a network protocol (HTTP) that was designed for static web pages with a few pictures and that has serious performance issues for anything more complex.

5. and finally, the whole thing implemented in a language (C or C++) that is fast but offers you plenty of opportunities to shoot yourself in the foot in obscur ways security-wise.

Things are changing fortunately (HTTP/2, QUIC, Rust).
What's extremely difficult to you? My resume is _broad_, a touch of ADHD has had me doing everything from printer drivers, to data science to videogames for the U.S. Army.

Admittedly, first instinct was to scoff at the difficult-to-get-jobs comment, but then I remembered a time I was jobless and looking. I applied for 105 different positions, I only got 4 callbacks and 2 interviews. Neither interview led to an offer.

I was literally down to my last 100$, ready to start selling things to pay the rent and someone called me with a job who found my linkedin profile at random. I hadn't even applied to them!

That experience re-validated some heuristics I have for applying to jobs. I ignored them in that instance because I thought I was "being too picky". I used to think I was a superstar at getting jobs, remaining interested in them, not as much. Fortunately these days both lines have moved a bit towards the center.

The following year when I was looking for contracts I re-implemented most of my original rules, and my offer rate jumped from 0:2:4:105 to 5:6:9:10. I don't think they're laws for everyone, but they've worked for me.

1) Avoid recruiters. Make sure your resume hits the desk of someone who works for the target company with no brokers in between. Look up companies in your industry, in your area, with your interest level. Ask your friends if they know anyone who works there, have a casual coffee with your inside contact. Say you're just networking. Ask them what they do, be genuinely interested. Answer their questions about what you do. Express interest in working at said company. Follow their directions -- ESPECIALLY if it doesn't include the sentence "apply on their website".

2) Your resume is simultaneously more and less important than you think. If you network it's nearly irrelevant. I once got a job with a resume that was totally nonsense. I uploaded a PDF and when the hiring manager got it, it was displayed to him as binary -> ascii. I was using weird kerning settings that made it so about every 7th, 11th and 15th letter was missing. This intrigued the stakeholder enough that they called me to see if I was a lunatic.

I was not, that job was fun.

If you have any specific difficulties I may have a folksy anecdote showing how I defeated the very same thing. I'm getting old.

It seems many comments missed the point. The article is not about how bloated modern software is, how many useless features and programs are wasting CPU cycles for pointless jobs, etc. (Yes, modern software is bloated, for this reason, I'm using the MATE desktop on a minimum Gentoo installation, but this is not what the article is about.)

It is describing how web browser, a piece of software with extremely high inherent complexity, interacts with the memory allocator of the operating system, another piece of software with high inherent complexity, combined with a rarely used feature from Gmail, can trigger complex and complicated interactions and cause major problems due to hidden bugs in various places. This type of apparent "simple" lockup requires "the most qualified people to diagnose".

These problematic interactions are unavoidable by running fewer "gadgets" on the desktop environment, it can be triggered and cause lockups even if the system in question is otherwise good-performing. Installing a Linux desktop doesn't solve this type of problem (though this specific bug doesn't exist).

The questions worth discussing are, why/how does it happen? how can we make these problems easier to diagnose? what kind of programming language design can help? what kind of operating system/browser architecture can help? how can we manage complexity, and the problems came with such complexity, what is its implications in software engineering, parallel programming? etc.

From another perspective, bloated software is also an on-topic question worth talking about. But instead of the talking point of "useless programs wasting CPU cycles", or "install minimum Debian", we can ask questions like "do _ALL_ modern software/browser/OS have to be as complex as this?", "what road has led us towards this complexity nowadays?", "what encouraged people to make such decisions?", "can we return to a simpler software design, sometimes?" (e.g. a vendor machine near my home, trivially implementable in BusyBox, or even a microcontroller, are now coming with full Windows 7 or Ubuntu desktop! Even the advertising screens use Windows 8, and BSoD sometimes, despite all they need to do is just showing a picture. same thing for modern personal computers.), or even "is Web 2.0 a mistake?" (so we are here on Hacker News, one of the fastest website in the world!). These topics are also interesting to talk.

I wonder why so many are talking about SSD vs. HDD in this discussion. From my experience on Linux it doesn't really matter if you have enough RAM. Yes, booting from a SSD is faster, but once everything is loaded the system mostly works on top of the RAM (waiting for FS sync is rare).

I don't know much about the situation on Windows but at least on linux your HDD is hardly going to cause lags if you have a well configured hardware setup.

> China is building the infrastructure to exploit their resources

This is even worse. China will eat up the world in a similar way in which they ate up Sri-Lanka's port. Build a ton of infra for the developing world and then once they're unable to pay for it, they camp in your country forcibly.

The debt is mounting in most countries where China has 'invested' in infrastructure. For instance in Kenya, each Kenyan is estimated to already owe the Chinese roughly $100 and counting. May not mean much in the west but certainly is a lot of debt out of the total $1000 every Kenyan owes. Even the IMF is freakishly worried about Kenya's debt for crying out loud.

The Chinese will use unethical/unfair business practices to earn wealth from the west and then use it to recolonize developing countries while screwing over every other western country. Luckily, GEOTUS Trump will be able to stop this!

The problem is not that we cannot parallelize hardware. The problem is that the software making use of it is lacking. 24 cores is plenty, but if most software only uses one core even more cores won't help.

So some code has quirks/bugs and your conclusion is that people should switch to Linux...

There's this concept of right tool for the right job. And even if you save 2 seconds of boot time, that is meaningless when you encounter a similar bug with your software and waste a day, or when you simply waste time because you needlessly switched to an unfamiliar OS.

Just as a note, I have a Windows 10 booting on a decade old Lenovo netbook. That's a single core 1.6GHz Atom with 1.5GB RAM. It boots in ~10s. Much of it is BIOS. And yes, I can type an email with no issues. You should really try switching to Windows 10 and this dirt cheap netbook. :)

Syntax vs Semantics is distinguished by ParseError vs ValidationError in the eno libraries - I'll keep the importance of distinguishing them in mind for the schema development too - thanks for pointing this out!

There is escaping for arbitrary keys by using backticks - see the advanced language feature documentation at https://eno-lang.org/advanced/, in the case of # #twitter you wouldn't need it though unless you omit the space.

Thanks for your input, appreciate it!
Yes, strict separation will probably be the norm where there are sovereignty issues. And it will be enforced both ways. So for example,I will make the claim that if Alipay expanded into the US it would own the entire payments market in one year. Alipay is just that much better than anything else available in the US. Plausible or not, Alipay will never operate successfully in the US because the US will not cede sovereignty over part of its financial infrastructure to China.

I can not say if that is smart or not. That question is outside of my technical sphere of competence. But I believe it's an accurate evaluation of how states will operate, as soon as these systems start being used to project power.

Title: Why Do Keynote Speakers Keep Suggesting That Improving Security Is Possible?
I worked at a pharmacy in the US for 8 years. This is simply not quite true, and your telling of it paints a picture that is different from reality.

Doctors have to specify when writing a prescription if an generic is acceptable or not. It is always a deliberate choice with each and every prescription. There is no "Just forgetting." Paper prescriptions, for example, have two different places for signatures. Most doctors know that insurances often require generics.

There are good reasons not to substitute for some medications: Lithium (common for bipolar disorder), for example, sometimes absorbs differently between brands. Even with drugs that have no generics, most doctors will write a prescription saying that a generic is acceptable in case one has been approved without their knowledge. Doctors really only need to know when there are differences with generics vs brand names.

Not only that, but if the doctor requests the brand name, most pharmacies will call the doctor to see if they can switch to a lower-cost generic if the patient requests it. This is done a lot, sometimes simply because the patient doesn't realize the medicacation costs when they are at the doctor's office - they often don't realize the costs until the pharmacy runs the prescription through their insurance.

The same is true if the doctor prescribes something not covered by a patient's drug formulary: some insurances require folks start off with x or y drug and only give special acceptance to drug z if they've tried the other drug.
