I've been living full-time in an RV off and on for nearly a decade. I just bought my third RV (first was a motorhome, second was a travel trailer, which I had for three years and grew to hate moving it, and now I'm back to another motorhome...motorhomes are just better if you travel a lot) and I'll be traveling pretty seriously again for the next year or so.

Relationships suffer, for sure. I've always been a hardcore loner, and I'm mostly OK with that. I can make friends, and I don't have trouble dating, and I often do when I stay somewhere for more than a couple of months. But, realistically, I'm not good at maintaining relationships, and traveling a lot exacerbates that a lot. Traveling isn't the only factor in this, and it was true even before I started traveling. I'd get into a project or whatever and kinda forget about the rest of the world and the other people in it, sometimes for months at a time. I've been trying to alter this behavior somewhat, as I get older and recognize that real friendships come harder and harder every year.

So..yes. It can be quite lonely in practice. If you don't value alone time very highly, it might be too much. It doesn't have to be lonely, though. Being a traveler is interesting to a lot of people, so if you're at all socially proficient you can make new friends (or romantic partners, if you aren't already satisfied in that area) relatively easily, as long as you do social stuff while traveling (I do social bike rides, tech events, activism, and art/music stuff, when I have social energy to spend). They will probably be fleeting relationships, however. It's pretty rare that I meet someone in my travels that I keep in touch with forever.

Also, as much as I hate facebook and what it's been used for (and is being used for), it is nice to be able to connect up with people that way, since it makes it possible to run into people again later, maybe not even in the same city you met them in. Getting a cell number or email address just means I might contact them if I am back in the city I last saw them in; but with facebook, I might see that someone I know has moved to a city I'm going to, or whatever. It's sort of a live view of who I know, and that's really valuable. Sometimes, those old friends and acquaintances are happy to see me again, and that's nice.
pinyin is not romanization, it is a pronunciation system used to mark how character should be pronounced correctly. The objective is to have the 'correct' pronunciation, not to make it easier for westerner's to mimic the sound (which is actually the objective of romanization). I don't think we should compare these two systems.
I was intrigued and found out more about the photographer. He was a trained photographer (worked under Annie Leibovitz) and lectured photography in the 90s. Got his medical degree in 2004 and seems like he's coming back to photos.

I don't think it's orthogonal. Instead, there is a bias in news reporting. If someone manages to put one factory worker out of a job due to automation, it's not worth a headline. If someone beats the top human at some game, there'll immediately be a headline. People are being put out of jobs by machines as we speak.
From the article: "Sign up for my email newsletter and get a free framework decision email course. You'll learn effective ways to research framework pros and cons." It's an ad.

Too many articles like this on HN lately - short, useless, lead to an ad. This looks like SEO crap, outsourced to Mechanical Turk or Upwork.
It's way better than other social media. Not as much ego involved.
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. I read it first year of university and at the time I was very influenced by it.
Maybe they were simulating some sort of messaging server, or a shared cache, or something else which does not translate well to multiple process model?
They've been sold on shortened time to market.

The author's "business people" is transparently a euphemism for "clueless technologist" but what they actually care about is finance. Specifically, the time value of money and why they don't want to hire another two people to do Android and iOS in addition to the Web.

The marketing message from the cross-platform framework folks was aimed well and hit the mark. "Spend your time and money with us (or our consultants), not your expensive and peculiar developers. Together we'll achieve 3x the results for 1x the cost!"

This was likely in MA, not CA. It is marijuana abuse because it’s illegal to use.
With React, it's one and the same thing. React has a single event listener at the top level, then creates synthetic events that it passes down the tree. You can still do native event listeners, but there's no reason to, except for listening for events on `window`, etc.

I ended up creating a homebrew user and giving my personal user sudo access to the homebrew user, which has seemed to work well so far (I may have had to give group read/execute access to all of /usr/local though)
How do pixels work in radio astronomy? Does the antenna only capture one pixel every time the "shutter" is opened and then move to the next position?
That has to do with emphasis, not tones, and it's common with noun-verb pairings like that.

None of those turn into completely different words based on which tone you use to pronounce it; a person would still know what you mean based on the sentence context but it would sound off.
The definition of “move” is usually pretty loose too. In any case I’ve ever heard of, a different position on the same plot of land was satisfactory.
The problem is that...English does not have all the phonemes from other languages, Romanization will never give you the complete correct pronunciation. As foreigner, you basically lost not only the way to pronounce alien phonemes, also lost the ability to hear it. You will map it to the closet phoneme in your own language, and think they are the same anyway.
Yeah, me feel the same. How do people game HN?
I was going to use “idiots” but psychos will do.
Sadly the overlap between "things that you think ought to be important" (like monitoring wildlife) and "things that are economically important enough for someone to pay you for" is pretty small. Saving an penguin chick is laudable but who's going to pay you for it? Maybe a charity-funded organisation, but (even if well funded) those seem to still use volunteers rather than paid work.

Tech companies don't want 20hr/wk workers because of the investment required to bring a worker up to speed in any given company, and the amount of 'live' knowledge required to be productive. I'd expect two workers at 20hr/wk to be much less productive than one worker at 40hr/wk.
IME a lot of data display is backend, that's why data gets joined, aggregated, enriched, etc. The front end just formats the data, into a table, list or whatever the onscreen representation is.
Of course every "edge" is just another data center, but there's a massive rise in functions/serverless computing platforms focused on moving compute to more PoPs globally. Some have now graduated to running full containers as well.

If you have a stateless app, or state that can be deployed in multiple locations, then these are good solutions compared to doing it yourself and are relatively easier to deal with than the IaaS options of the clouds. Having it built into the CDN layer only helps with performance.
If you pay the person well then that person will go back to work for the extra money(though some people are not into making more and more money).
Mandarin does have words. Sometimes you can deduce a meaning of a compound word from the literal meanings of the characters it's made up of, but sometimes you cannot.

It also doesn't aid you in pronouncing it because it's not obvious which tone it is, unless you already know it.

You can't. I can tell you that I've been in their New York store several times and used them for decades.

Franky I'd be more suspicious of a business of their age and size that didn't have a few lawsuits against them. Also look at some of those lawsuits - remember it costs nothing to file a lawsuit, especially when fishing with lawyers on contingency :/
I've contacted the speaker. In the meantime, the recording is available at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Y3iEWKGwfEvFaLjwra59-u5jQI....
Whoa. In the last few years I’ve maybe once a month been eating and felt something get stuck in my throat. It’s unconfortable and I drink water to get it down, but it hurts going down. In the last few months, I’ve noticed if I slam back my pills it feels like they’re getting smashed into the tissue where my tonsils would be if they hadn’t been removed.

Now that I think about it, I did Keto for about a year and don’t remember it ever happening during that time. My sleep apnea also cleared up.

I got tested for allergies and nothing came up, then the doctor told me to stop the low carb diet and start taking Prilosec. Really stupid, I haven’t seen a doctor since. I’m kinda worried now though, thanks for sharing this.
That would be great. I'm a heavy user, about two to three hours of screen-on time per day and six to eight hours of Spotify on the background. I have bad cellphone reception so it is constantly searching for signal and trying to reconnect the VPN. I have to recharge at around 17:00 on a normal day. Device is a couple months old and at 96% battery capacity.
No, just give up trying to find that sound in English, it basically does not exist. Apparently Cantonese is a lot easier for English speaker to learn, they don't have these special phonemes.
Yes, 'heaven' is more precise. To reflect 'heaven' usually requires a deeper grasp of the language to twist it a little bit closer for its real meaning.
And your point is great - the concept is hard to be translated into another language. For example, there are so many Buddhism concepts which is very hard to translate.

You say that, but plenty of games, including twitch shooters, have been successful using Unity and Unreal, both of which support a pretty large number of platforms.
Stroke order is also important when writing fast or sloppy. Depending on the stroke order the slants/angles of the strokes will be different, obviously, which lets you deduce a character if someone has written it sloppily (but with the right order). I've had to do this many a time when deciphering quickly-written native korean handwriting.

Beginner learners often write ㅁ wrong, making it almost look like a ㅇ.
In my experience, unless you want to be able to write characters without machine assistance, it's faster to just learn to recognize them without spending time on writing them out. Being able to recognize the rough stroke order is a little helpful, but not necessary unless you want to look up characters by stroke count. But since tools for character lookup are fairly sophisticated today, you don't really need paper dictionaries anymore. The only benefit I can see is in the ability to read handwritten characters. The "cursive" script is basically impossible to read unless you know the stroke order really well.
I went from an 8 to an Xr. The resolution in terms of dpi is the same on both. In terms of overall pixels it is higher on the Xr, due to bigger display size. Both displays are excellent.

I thought I might miss 3d touch, but with the iOS 12.1.1 update the biggest issue had been fixed: Accessing the context menu for notifications on the home screen. That one now actually feels nicer than on the 8, since the feedback is stronger with haptic touch. Scrolling in notifications with long press on spacebar is slightly worse, since it doesn't allow to mark things via light-release-and-press and doesn't react in some situations. But it's still very bearable. Don't miss the peek&pop functions of 3d touch at all.

The biggest advantage and disadvantage of the Xr: It has a lot bigger screen, is bigger, and feels heavier. It's a tradeoff. I still find it more inconvenient to carry around, and to swipe in from the left side of the screen in order to go back. But the large screen also has it's advantages.
From completely personal opinion and that of close friends:

x265 movies look way cleaner while having way smaller file sizes.

Also it's the best tradeoff between quality/filesize by factor of 2 or more.
I'd personally notice artifacts in x264 movies unless they were over 7gb in size. With x265 i'll grab a 3gb version of a movie in a heartbeat (well a few heartbeats on gigabit fiber :) and not worry about picture quality at all.

at 15gigs or more for a 1080p movie x264 is pretty much perfect, unless you really want to see the film-grain.
As someone who learned English from Spanish, this strikes me as totally off:

> In English, if you can speak something, you can write it too

Compared to Spanish, Italian or Japanese hiragana/katakana, this is not true at all in English. It is _more true_ than in Chinese/Japanese (Kanji), but still not much. It is in fact one of the things that English Learners struggle with the most!

The state is considering a piece of legislation. The mayor:

- wrote a letter and released it for publication by the press

- gave interviews or quotations to journalists for publication

Both of these seek to influence state legislators, and the evidence is right there in the article.

Sure, but the classifiers are highly analogous to the English "counters". Conceptually, 三個人 ("three people") could be interpreted as "three individuals of person".

You could view Chinese nouns as all being mass nouns like English "sand". In the same way you can't say "one sand", but need to add a counter as in "one grain of sand", in Chinese you can't say "one book", you have to say "one volume of book" (一本書).

Sure, you can make distinctions between "classifiers" vs. "measure words" vs. units of measurement, but it feels like the same construct to say 一位人 ("one person"), 一群人 ("a group of people") or 一斤人 ("half a kilo of human"), as grisly as the last one may be.
Pingin "X" is the voiceless alveolo-palatal sibilant fricative (ɕ in IPA). It's basically just "sh" with your lips spread wider.
I think it can still be read, but with a more critical mind and other, recent sources. You have a valid point, though.

Would be really interesting to have Kahneman discuss the crisis in a new chapter.
India After Gandhi is truly a powerful book, and you're right in saying that it is our duty as an Indian to educate ourselves about post-1947 happenings. My only issue with the book, though only slightly, was the fast that Guha was a bit too soft on Nehru. There were many flaws/bad decisions (and good decisions too indeed) taken by Nehru which, I think, the book downplayed.

Nevertheless, Guha is truly an amazing historian and all of his books deserve to be read!

You hire somebody full-time to fill the position. When the employee comes back from parental leave, either move the new employee or the returning employee into a new position.

People ask sometimes why, in capitalism, companies need to grow all the time. Why do company profits have to grow every year? Why can't they just stay at some same, low but healthy level, year after year? Well, this is one of those reasons. When you're constantly growing, then it's not an issue for somebody to come back from parental leave, because there are always new positions opening up. Maybe the person coming back will need to wait an additional week or two for the right position at the company to open up, maybe the person will need some training for a slightly different role. But there will be new spots.
Now that's some long con social engineering. I'm impressed.
I like both as a Chinese. Especially if the American Chinese dish is something invented in the US, not a bad version of a Chinese dish. If they are basically a bad copy of a Chinese dish, you would actually judge it differently than just a dish, because you would compare it to how it should taste like.
I looked into a gym membership, but the gym chains usually only cover a limited geographic area and additionally are usually only inside cities, not out where nature is.

A decent marine battery is reliable and can carry enough power to run a laptop all day. No need to idle an engine... you can charge it while you're driving. I agree on the generator people. No better way to take the suburbs out to nature.
1) People can travel between states, or even to other countries, during a lifetime.

2) MA legalized medical usage in 2013.

3) "Drug abuse" has nothing to do with the legality of the substance. It's whether or not the substance impairs the individual and that it was used for non-medicinal purposes.
>'X' in Xi is not 'sh', and 'Q' in Qing is not 'ch'.

That is basically what I was trying to relay: That the choices of letters were picked to represent something "different but close enough", borrowed from alternative Anglicizations that were close at hand.

>Those sounds do not exist in English, hence English speaker cannot hear or pronounce it correctly.

I never had a problem differentiating between the 'q' and 'ch' sounds in Mandarin, and I do not think I am uniquely gifted. Listening to a native speaker pronounce Chongqing for the first time made it immediately obvious. I remember struggling a bit with pronouncing 'zh-' but not because I couldn't hear a difference, it just took a little time. And even despite taking a while to learn the pronunciation, I never struggled in hearing the difference between zhuan and juan.

One doesn't hear letters (or characters for that matter), instead one hears articulations, diphthong, glottal-stops and so forth. I guess you could try to mediate what you hear through an unrelated written language, but that seems like counter-productive extra effort.

I would have thought it was more preferring faster pretimes, as X264 encoding is much faster than X265? At least in the case of TV shows, maybe not so much movies where there might be a more exclusive source.

I've seen the effect of San Francisco "governing itself". In many respects, I would rather they didn't.

"Governing itself" isn't some magical good. The cost of incompatible laws in jurisdictions can be large and invisible. Since the legislature ignores the cost of laws, they are encouraged to complicate things as much as possible.

I'm on Lyft's side here.
As comments have noted for other non-English books, you really lose a lot in the translation to English.

Ask HN: Difference in earning potentials between Bay Area and rest of the world
I was in the Bay Area on a J-1 a few years ago. Now I'm back in my home country and earn a decent middle class salary. Meanwhile, my friends in the United States are getting _rich_ working for Bay Area companies. I know the same things as they do, do the same things as they do, but I will only ever be making a normal wage until retirement and they will be financially independent in a few years' time.

I don't see much hope in the US immigration system for me. There's not really a question here, but thinking about this depresses me.
The same developer gets tons of recruiting emails, people everywhere telling him to not stay in the same place for more then 2 years, his probably burned out of working with that horrible code base and would be attracted to work at a different place with a new project, with a new framework and language(and restart the cycle).

So if you are in SV and have 1 essential developer then prepare for him to leave he/ she would do it sooner then later.
The difference is in Korean or Chinese you need to do it with all nouns that you're counting, unlike English which only reserves it for measuring mass nouns or clarifying between nouns, etc. They way they function is also different, so I would treat them as separate grammatical concepts.

We have a pretty good understanding of why kids put stuff in their mouths and it’s more about exploration and their mouths being more centre of their sensory experience at younger ages. But the following link explains it better than I could:

Anecdotally, my daughter didn’t have this behaviour. Even at a very young age she’d only ever put food stuff in her mouth. However I’ve seen so many other kids, children of friends and relatives, put random objects in their mouths to know that my daughter is the exception to the rule.
Ha. My gut reaction to reading your and your parent post was "What?! How can they criticize the book. It's pure truth!" Guess I really took a liking to that book. :)

But seriously, can you elaborate on where you thought it was biased?
This is often the case today for load balancers or CDNs that support HTTP/2. For connections from reverse proxies the number of round trips for connection establishment generally does not matter since these connections will be kept alive for a long time, across requests. I don't see why this would change with HTTP/3.
