I’m surprised no one yet had mentioned Facebook’s osquery tool. Even though most things aren’t relational databases, a uniform way to query them and join different datasources together is a very powerful idea.

Using sql to query a whole bunch of stuff has been very nice.

I just wish the excellent TablePlus client could use osquery under the hood to show a lot of system level things in a nice pretty UI.
I still move scroll bars and expect the indentation (to show where it was) to be there.
Try to sell a 5 year old vehicle of let’s say 35k original price when it needs an $10k repair to get a new battery and dump the half tone of environmentally friendly junk.

More importantly, convince the truck drivers with 150k miles per year that they will have to dispose their truck ever 2-3 years (1000 charges).

Electric vehicles will take over when a battery breakthrough occurs, one that affects recharge time, weight and longevity.
I was very fortunate. This is the machine on which I originally learned OpenGL. It was an undergrad lab job where I was paid $5/hour to eventually write http://paulbourke.net/geometry/polygonise/marchingsource.cpp But, in order to do that I had to learn how to 3D at all.

The most fun I had with the machine was playing GlQuake 1 at 1280x1024 on a T1 line and bragging about it on the chat where everyone thought I was lying. Of course, a year later the 3DFX Voodoo 1 would come out and deliver approximately 1/4 the fill rate for 1/1000 the price.

Besides that, it was a fine machine. Lots of cores that I didn’t know how to utilize. Occasional bugs in the OpenGL implementation that might have been me accidentally triggering edge cases. Command line compiles, gdb, lots of core dumps.

SGI really lost it’s way after this. Years later they would be showing at SIGGRAPH with multi-wall-sized displays, but without the programmable shading that would be all the rage not just right then, but for the next two decades... They went so far as to publish papers showing that with hundreds of passes and temporary buffers using fixed-function shading, you could eventually get mostly the same results as the new-fangled programmable BS...

The brilliant engineers of SGI soon moved on to become founding members of Nvidia, ATI, Imagination and other graphics tech companies.
Even if we were not able to tell which is which between the past and the future (as in Feynman's dropped egg though experiment), it would still be paradoxical that we could still easily _distinguish_ them in most macroscopic changes, given that's supposed to be caused by a superposition of time symmetrical microscopic changes. Even with no observer, no past and no future, why are most macroscopic events asymmetric?
I think it depends on whether you're interested in mastering a craft as an end in itself or just in building things that look nice and work.
Shameless plug: a while ago I wrote a blog post covering similar topics with a goal of critically re/thinking about how we think about designing systems. https://www.notion.so/Towards-Humanistic-Systems-6f8cf442bca...

I think the problem with this article is that it tries to suggest tips on how to prevent the cobra effect before the system is deployed, but instead it should be more about recognizing and reacting to it quickly after the system is deployed.

The way I see it (an extension of Campbell's Law [1]), systems tend to get corrupted and have perverse incentives no matter what. You're probably not going to understand the problem enough to design the perfect system the first time, no matter how hard you try.

In other words, don't try to predict the future, to see all ends, because you can't. Even more important than the ability to design good systems is the ability to change the system, not just to re/design the entire system at once, but to iterate over time.

This is much, much easier said than done, but realizing it is the first step.

You do a 16 hour fast, but only eat dinner? When are you eating your other food/meal? I do a similar length fast most weekdays, I just don't like eating soon after waking up so I only have water/black coffee until lunch. But I have a BIG lunch (1200-1600+ cal) and then something else around 7-8 or occasionally skip dinner. I think it's much easier to deal with not having eaten for awhile during the evening, you're usually doing something low-energy by then and if you start getting really hungry you can just go to sleep.

I'm not currently using a personal wiki, but both MediaWiki and Confluence are pretty easy to set up. Confluence/Jira licenses are cheap for self-hosted personal use. MediaWiki is oss and probably not going anywhere anytime soon.
As you say " It seems most inspired by CLU".

Do you happen to know by chance when CLU was created?
The site icon is redundant though. Keybase wouldn't appear if they weren't verified on the site. If you meant "website icon" then that doesn't resolve the "mess" for people with multiple site proofs - I already have two and might be getting a third one soon. I know a few people who have four or five.

The as-a-dropdown-from-Keybase is probably the best solution.

Typescript compiler architecture is quite different to flows. Typescript was written from the get go to provide really fast and accurate intellisense to IDEs. The newer refactoring powers are super nice too. Most ides just ask typescripts language service “hey, my user’s cursor is here, what should I show for code completion?”

I think that’s what differentiates TS from flow. Typescript thought about the whole developers workflow while flow is just a compile time typechecker.
I see this machine as a computer-controlled version of the pantorouter [0] with a bit more flexibility. I guess that the commercial success can be correlated to the commercial version of the pantorouter [1]. Anyone knows if that is a success? All I know is a frequent “sold-out” label on their e-shop (which might be a part of the marketing strategy).

And yet tons of people do it in europe with kids because the infrastructure exists.
Whoa, chill out there, Skynet.

I think people actually enjoy purposeful suffering. That's even what many games bring about. A life without suffering is boring.

But we don't want unnecessary suffering. Like parasites. Or having to walk 5 km for a barrel of clean water.

Suffering in the aid of others, like bringing a barrel of clean water over 5 km for your family, is actuallu very satisfying though. More so than, say, getting 5 customers through a day of telemarketing.
I think once we get hot-swappable batteries then it'll really kick start the industry. The only problem is Li-Ion isn't recyclable or easily disposable.

Our house has a 30A dryer outlet on the second floor. The house is maxed out on a 100A main line. To get another 40A or 50A breaker permitted, and installed would mean new main line, new meter, new main breaker, new breaker box. Bids have come in between $7,000 to $9,000. New homes with 200A service will mostly be ok, but older homes are often underserved electrically.
Also typescript and React go really really well because typescript can do tsx which is a strongly typed flavor of jsx.

Being able to use good code completion when using other people’s components is a huge boon.
The old FPS games were much more like the bullet-hell shooter games, in 3D and without the spaceships, than like modern shooters.

I think Serious Sam was the last time I played that style of shooter, and while I've enjoyed tons of modern FPS games, they feel very different.

The latest Doom games (the ones after Doom 3, confusingly titled Doom and the upcoming Doom Eternal) do a great job combining that old-school shooter gameplay with more modern elements. I highly recommend them!

It would in all likelihood still be cheaper than gas, but even if it weren't, electric cars are just that much better all around. After you've driven one for a while, you realize what a smelly complicated Rube Goldberg mess the internal combustion engine is.
So, it takes couple of decades for overnight success.
The first model Ss that have hit 10 years and 200k miles have shown an average of 3% battery capacity decrease.

Car batteries aren't phone batteries :)
The bar is whether those occupied consider themselves occupied. Referendums and similar allow to measure that.

It's pretty clear that Tibet considers itself occupied. I know that some in Hawaii do, but do you think they're the majority?
Yes please message me at Tarun[dot]Anand[Gmail]dotcom
> I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I still can't fathom how electric cars are going to make more than a dent in NYC where most cars are stored streetside.

You're thinking about this from the wrong way around. The people who buy the first electric cars mainly don't live in places they can't charge them, they live in single family homes where they can install a charging port.

That allows enough electric cars to accumulate that the lobby for installing charging ports on city streets can form and get a few of them installed. But with more charging ports you get more people buying electric cars and so the lobby for installing even more charging ports grows, until they're all over the place.
> Muslims persecuted by Hindus.

Actually Hindus have been persecuted a lot by Muslims. In Kashmir all the Hindus were driven away[1]. Very few Hindus are left in Pakistan and Bangladesh whereas the proportion of Muslims in India is going up since independence.

It's moving quickly. The Tesla Model 3 can charge over 300 miles in less than an hour. It's coming fast.
That's another way to solve the problem.
It's scary to consider that whoever added that "feature" was probably thinking of region-locking...

Before, I used to think that hardware specifications and protocols would be simpler purely because hardware people don't really like complexity and it would make implementation harder, and that was usually the case. Now it seems like elements of Enterprise Java have slowly creeped in...

The fact that the adapter has far more nonvolatile memory than it needs is somewhat unsettling, not just in the wasteful sense but also in the "hidden surveillance device" sense.
Why? If they care about the environment. If they don't like wasting time at the gas station every week or more. If they don't like to deal with the horrible maintenance schedule of traditional engines vs having an oil change every 2 years.

The cards that power modern were mostly made before NWO started directly affecting the pipeline.

Control can beat basically any deck that isn't completely broken (eg, eldrazi winter), but does so at the expense of losing to everything else. In addition, burn is cheap and played a lot day 1. It lowers most control deck numbers enough to make a top 8 contention impossible.

Teferi has helped a lot as one of very few consistent win conditions across the field. I think modern really needs UU counterspell for control to be less than niche. Once the field diversifies a bit again, control will once again fade to T2.
"I'd probably run it in a non-privileged container."

Does mutt talk to the network or have a daemon or run as a service ? I don't know the answer to that but I know that for my own use-case, pine is basically a text editor. It executes no programs or code and does not talk to anything but the local SMTP daemon.

How much sanity checking and bounds checking does sendmail (or postfix or whatever) do on email ? That's the question, I think, because again, in my case, the threat vector is very limited - basically an arbitrary (weird) email or piece of an email that somehow breaks pine.

So no, I don't run it in a container - in fact, I run it as the user whose mail spool is the highest sensitivity asset that user owns ... so a container wouldn't help. If you get the mail spool, you get everything - at least or that user...
Typescript will happily check your JavaScript code with “allowJs” compiler flag.

We write all our new code in good ol ES6 flavor of JavaScript and typehint in jsdoc. Typescript as a typechecker serves as very well.

It’s a great incremental adoption strategy.
The Model X is sort of an electric minivan, though an expensive one. Cheaper ones are coming. The Pacifica hybrid can get 30 or 40 miles on pure electric.
No, but it does mean if you perturb the constraints, the system is likely less adapted to the new situation
Which Channels Should I follow ?
Surprising, but out of the rest, this is probably what resonates with me the most. I just really like the idea of doing what I said I'd do. Or just making a new set of commitments each day and sticking to that.
Seems to me that this is almost dangerous unless the uncertainty (and therefore confidence) of the prediction can be quantified.
As somebody migrating a React codebase from JS to TS, I can't believe how popular TS is.

It seems like something that only exists due to the popularity of Angular, where I can only assume the experience is significantly better than with React.

The type system is frankly disappointing, and the errors the compiler spits out at you (besides the most obvious ones) are almost always useless or gibberish and at times even more harmful than helpful.

It's better than nothing I guess, but I can't help but feel extremely underwhelmed with it given how many people use it. Are all of the people in this thread Angular developers or something?
My naked toddler is not shocking or laughable to me; my point was that with current technological trends I find it likely she will be confronted with it when she's a teen. Its not merely toddler either; its till about age 2 or so. I'm not exactly sure, its our first one.

Also, I am very much going to educate my child that in this world things you do are registered on social media and the Internet, and that pictures of her will be difficult to remove. That would, for example, result in that she'd refuse to get on camera during sex. That's for later though.

As for the picture. Because I genuinely thought I stumbled upon child pornography. It had to do with the pose, that nobody else was on the picture, and probably also some kind of discrimination on my side (the kid was Asian) plus the movie Holly [1] having made a deep impact on me.

The less you twist the cable the less wire you use - but at the cost of noise. Manufacturers have no problems making the cheapest cable that just barely negotiates at the lowest speed level.

Like with SD card speeds its a hard sell on the store shelf to get the more expensive one. People don't know how Superspeed vs Superspeed+ is going to affect them. Plus given the markup at Best Buy people can barely afford the cable as it is.

I always found it funny Fry's has a separate cable section near where they sell soldering irons for people who know better.
Windows is already very simple and reliable. What it lacks though is easy to use sandbox isolation of apps like Web/Android/iOS.

I'm at a point now where i lost trust in almost all software when it comes to respecting privacy. So even if windows has the biggest share of useful third party apps, most of them are old and not written against UWP/Store so they are not sandboxed, which means i'd rather not install them in the first place. So instead i open my android tablet and see if i can find an equivalent there.

Having to pay the huge markup for Professional edition to get disk encryption is also ridiculous when this is standard on Andrdoid and iOS. If my laptop gets stolen i want my data secure. This should be considered standard feature in this age.
> Because the bits that aren’t typescript won’t warn you when you compile.

You just wrote exactly why static types are great: you get warnings when you forget to refactor your shitty (sic) JS code.
Consider a case where you have a router balancing over four links. It chooses which link based on a hash of some information from the packet.

Now imagine you have four more routers on each of those links, hashing out over four more links. So you have a tree with 16 outputs.

If the second-tier router uses the same hash algorithm as the first one, all the packets it receives will hash to the same link, because it's doing the same calculation as the router before it.

Thus the 2nd tier of four routers will only use 4 of their outputs, instead of all 16.
And that is somewhat a good thing. Diversity of thoughts makes up for a good country. Shows up in the GDP. India is far ahead of both Pakistan and Bangladesh.

I'd be interested in hearing more about the system you use.

Have you written anything about it before, I'm curious about more specific examples around what you're doing.

Do you automate most/some of what you put in?

I've thought about writing some scripts to export things from various online accounts/services/apis and importing them into a personal database mostly for backup purposes. It sounds like you're already doing that, and more.
Hi Dang,

Honestly, your explanation makes no sense to me. I don’t understand what’s so generic about this conversation. I think the idea that there are non-dominant forms of government operating inside institutions operating within capitalism is a rarely seen perspective.

And I read a lot of HN.
Exactly. Like all ideological arguments it completely ignores actual real-world evidence. Somebody should sit down and analyze real codebases and understand and quantify how much these projects would be improved by real generics and proper exception handling. My (anecdotal) experience and speculation suggests that you'd see massive reduction in complexity and lines of code (especially when you consider code-gen).

But then this is part of a larger problem of the community which isn't motivated by evidence or basic pragmatism but rather strict adherence to a philosophy.
I'm really curious on those who do have these kind of usable high memory capacity. I seem to be able to remember random facts in my head but for other, more important subjects (such as basic numbers about the company I'm working for, my emotions and feelings on a certain point in life, lessons and experiences that I've gone through in life) seem to pass me by and I feel like I just have these holes in my memory that I can't patch. I remember my friends sometimes ask me why I date my Instax pictures and I just realised that I cannot recall my memories easily without aids and/or concrete data (one of the reasons why it's hard for me to turn off my location history on Google). This is especially a hindrance in my personal/social life as I often forget significant life events for myself or others and come across as uncaring to others.

How to improve my memory in general, basically, is my question. I've read 'Moonwalking with Einstein' that describes techniques used in memory competitions (such as recalling thousands of digits of pi) but I don't feel that is applicable in real life. Maybe someone here could chime in on that.
I would buy it. I'm an occasional woodworker (maybe one or two small projects a year).

I don't care about honing my skills with fancy hand tools -- all I want is to design a piece and build it quickly.

This device looks like it would open a lot of possibilities. I like fancy joints but just don't have the patience required to make them by hand. If this thing would make it reasonably easy to cut a precise, correctly aligned join, it would be a big help!
The answers here probably have the clues. But someone has to work hard to figure out the ONE answer that is minimal and satisfies all needs.

> Remember, if you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.

given there is no insider information in this case, this holds true to the stock market too.

> There’s a lot of interest in what the odds are, but the volumes traded are quite thin, so much so that it is in the interest of partisans to trade in order to move the price and thus change the political narrative.

true when these markets are only a couple of bookmakers. Also true when there is a goobalized easy access anonymous system without a bookmaker's fee? Not so sure.

Once it becomes easy to charge your car overnight, e.g. because every street lamp is a charging station, I don't think the charging time matters very much anymore.

16 hours is the minimum.

No other meal, but I may snack later in the evening depending on what was for dinner.

Anywhere from 12-2AM until 5-7PM is my fast period.

Yesterday for example, I didn't eat after 1 am but dinner was around 7PM so the fast was about 18 hours that day.

Today I didn't eat after 1230 last night but dinner was at 5, so 16 1/2 hours.

I'm the opposite actually, I geared my eating to be in the evening as I stay up late. I know I can distract myself with work or kids etc... during the day, but night is where I would naturally eat/graze anyway, so might as well just move my whole eating period to then.
