I honestly tried my best to debug it. I installed different tools, and at some point it seemed to work, but after some time, due to some updates, it broke down. Some time after this, I just stopped using sleep mode. It was easier to turn on/off the whole machine.

XPS13 which I have is one of the most widely used linux laptops, and it a symptomatic that it doesn't work well.
I'm not so sure. I think poor quality sleep and proscrastination are a symptom of not wanting to do something.

Poor quality sleep never got in the way of me doing the things I wanted to do. Whether it is prepping for a field trip I was excited about or waking up in the middle of the night to watch a livestream of esports game or anything I was interested it. It's only chores, jobs or studying for something I wasn't interested in that I always put off til tomorrow. And things like meetings at works I wasn't looking forward to always contributed to poor quality sleep.

Rather than being the cause, I suspect poor quality sleep is a symptom.
Your phone has 4 processors working at over 1ghz and a GPU also working at stupid speeds.

A single threaded system going all out, with 0 layers of abstraction, can provide a responsive system with a couple hundred megahertz and a dumb display buffer.

Heck at lower resolutions you can get by with under 100mhz and you'll get by just fine.

As an extreme example of this, look at the old video game consoles. Their CPUs ran in the single digit mhz range, but some of them were able to provide frame perfect controls!

This was because they had a code loop that looked like

1. Get inputs
2. run game logic
3. Render graphics
4. Output graphics to screen

Compare that to now days where touch screen latency on some Android phones can be over 100ms! Heck best of class touch on iOS/Android and you'll be at 40-60ms.

Of course the problem with fixed game loops like that is they aren't very flexible. :) My phone needs to do a lot more than render low res graphics to the screen and handle input.

Eventually Android threw enough CPU at the problem that their phones are responsive, but... it took awhile.

Thanks for pointing this out.

The first entry on the Borg FAQ [1] is “can I backup from multiple servers into a single repository” and the answer is basically “yes, but it might be slow”. Seems to me like it should say “not really, it's insecure and might be slow”, plus the tool should make it clear you're doing something unwise if you try it anyway.

I've always shied away from shared backup repositories anyway, because it usually means data from host A can be read by host B, and that's just not what I usually want. The deployment instructions appear sane to me. [2]

The EU has a far shorter list of approved pesticides than the US. Whether that translates to "less pesticides" is unclear but hopefully it at least translates to "less harm."
Without tariffs, you can pick between work not being done here, or a race to the bottom against dictatorships and oligarchies that have no concern for the welfare of their citizens.

We're currently pursuing option #1, but neither one sounds fantastic to me.
The traditional model is that US employment is driven by fiscal and monetary policy. So the Gov. and central bank stimulate the economy until it reaches full employment, then put on the brakes when inflation gets too high.

With this model, even if some jobs shift to China or are automated, that just means the central bank can step on the gas a little bit more, and employment and standard of living is unaffected.

One problem with this model is structural problems where say jobs are being created but are in a different place than the ones being destroyed. People may be unwilling to move or it may be too expensive. They also could require different skills.

Another issue is that the central banks are limited in their ability to lower interest rates (their traditional way of stimulating the economy and getting out of recessions). Fiscal policy (Gov. borrowing and spending) is not expensive at all now (the Gov. currently pays hardly any inflation-adjusted interest on the debt), but if interest rates were ever to rise substantially having a large debt could be a problem. Spending the money efficiently also could be a challenge and it's politically controversial to do it at all.

Personally I think something like a UBI is probably a good idea to insure against things just imploding. In the event of a recession they could just increase it to stimulate the economy, which probably can happen a lot faster than infrastructure projects etc. And if automation accelerates, it may be tough for large numbers of people to adapt quickly (even if they eventually do).

I didn't say anywhere I have 30 years of experience with XML. What I said is, EVERYONE is familiar with the syntax. JSX is especially suited for expressing HTML because it is, in fact, almost HTML.

As to your other point - maybe. I'm not seeing anywhere near enough potential payoff to invest years into it, though. Also, I'd argue that makes it a terribly impractical language if you're interested in getting work done.

To clarify, I don't agree one needs years to become competent in clojure. But if one did, that just makes it a worse value proposition.
When will they confirm every non-US jurisdiction for meeting compliance in FinTech? i.e. is this just another 'in the US market' announcement? Maybe for apple that IS the market. For Google, its been acknowledged that whilst mountain view likes to release in the USA first, and it is the single biggest market they have, its not actually bigger than the others put together: far from it.

Secondly, Most cards run for profit on card processing fees. They are a profit centre to the bank. Is apple running this at a loss for other reasons or is this model of card cash-positive inside 1 year? Because its a long way to the bottom when you have a giant pile of cash, but at some time, in a year based financial reporting regime they will have to account for this thing, and if its not visibly in profit then either they have an opportunity cost/loss or a real world loss.
I don't believe so, I believe there's a whole different subject matter on that. As far as I've read up on Alzheimer's, it appears to happen when too much stress is incurred on the mind or nervous system. That's just from what I've been reading on HackerNews though. There's stuff on beta Amyloid, caffeine, herpes... The list goes on but the decrease or nerogenesis doesn't appear to be related. I'm no expert.

I guess it's not entirely contradictory as it comes under outsourcing haha..

Also Im involved a bit in making automated captcha systems for.. ahem.. research. I've noticed a lot of the manual service providers in China have already pivoted to data labeling services. Most of them probably already have the workers, infrastructure, and pipeline in place, which is why I think original poster makes a good point
You are confusing Apple with Google.

Skepticism doesn't imply trust-by-default. This article is an example of the shoddy work that is often performed by bad science "journalists" and used by the Chemophobic to push bullshit such as essential oils, naturopathic medicines, and MLM crapware. If you can't recognize that this is bad journalism that's not my fault. Its not that I "trust" the herbicide/pesticide companies that produce and manufacture these chemicals. Its that there exists a body of evidence that shows "most" of these chemicals to be safe. When the evidence changes to show that the chemical is not safe, what the mechanism is that causes the safety issue and presents data to back that up, I will change my mind. Because that is how falsifiablity works. It is not trust by default. It is rather that, to the best of our ability, with the science and techniques that are currently available, we cannot find an issue with this substance. When the science changes and new things are learned about our biology and how chemicals interact with our body and we re-evaluate those criteria based on those findings then we change the science. This article... is not that.

>Eliminating the set transaction fee could open up so many potential businesses. But I'm not sure what incentive Apple has of getting rid of it. It's a cash cow.

It doesn't necessarily need to be eliminated, but it should be regulated: see https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32... and the effect it has had in the EU.
Okay that's true, but what does what you are saying have to do with it being discrimination? Someone not being hired or being treated badly for being a woman is discrimination. Not wanting to working in an open office space is not discrimination.

> Visual or terminal-based means to configure rudimentary touchpad settings. The fewest options I could imagine supporting for v1 would be: scroll speed/acceleration, scroll speed, natural scrolling toggle, hopefully support for gestures.

You gave up on libinput after an inability to configure scroll speed, but the rest of those are all configurable with libinput and libinput-gestures[1].

I don't use gestures yet and default scroll speed has always been fine, and the following tiny libinput configuration hits the rest of your points.

$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/30-touchpad.conf

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad"
Driver "libinput"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "Tapping" "on"
Option "TappingButtonMap" "lrm"
Option "NaturalScrolling" "true"
EndSection

Is there a reason you haven't asked the libinput maintainer about whether configurable scroll speed would be welcome upstream (in the prior post, it comes across like your question was far more open ended)? Forking it just to add scroll speed configuration and replicate work that's already been done elsewhere seems a little excessive.

Editing in general is one of those things that I hope and wish and pray and hope that I don't have to do...I mean, everyone else is able to get it right the first time!

Nope, just our perception of the world. Everyone is editing. Especially the stuff we really care about.
That's true, and I agree, I think open office settings are terrible, but that doesn't change that it isn't discrimination.
I completely agree with you. For me this list of the problem is the following:

* Touchpad

* Sleep mode

* USB-C display
Ironically, one of the best ways to explore this is through altered states of consciousness, such as through psychedelics, or through various forms of meditation. It's in those altered states that you can experience just how much normal perception results from interpretation layered on top of sensory cues. For example, it is possible to become aware of the exact sensation of pain. The process of trying to pin down pain changes its experience (it often lessens its impact). I have heard that in extreme concentration states, pain can be perceived as discrete pulses of sensation, clearly distinguishing an "echo" that fills in between pulses that makes pain appear to be a continuous sensation.

Editing of memories in neurotypical, otherwise functioning members of society happens much more frequently than we care to admit.
I got all excited and then realized that almost none of the new services that were announced will offer me anything as a European.

Apple Card most likely won't be coming to Europe any time soon. The streaming service is also not likely to come to Europe as it includes US-only services such as Hulu and Amazon Prime.

I am aware that this is a bit of a 1st world problem, but all of these services being US-only can be really annoying. Recently I tried to legally stream Battlestar Galatica in Europe. Not available on Netflix or HBO. So I figured I can rent the show from iTunes. Nope, only in the US. How about Amazon Prime? Nope. US only. In the end, I pirated it from one of the private torrent trackers we have here. I was willing to pay and watch it legally. But aside from ordering the blu-ray discs, I had no choice. Wanna keep piracy alive? This is how you do it.

I do understand why these services are not _yet_ available in Europe. It doesn't make it less annoying though.
You’re missing the point. To think that any business would ever act against it’s own self interest within the bounds of this system is naive at best. We’d all love if that weren’t the case, but discussing fantasy worlds does nobody any good.

Rather than a reactionary emotional response to “bad men are bad”, what alternative do you propose to firms like Goldman? I’m not defending them, it’s simply a law of nature that this behavior exists because we allow it to exist. Capitalism is inherently evil, manipulative, and exploitative, yet no one has figured out anything better so far.

The Wire is a left-wing publication that routinely engages in propaganda.

The current government has not brought in any new laws or regulations on press. India never had the journalistic freedom like in west.

The opponent of current PM is a political royalty of India. They are the ones who dont know how to live without power. Indira Gandhi suspended Indian democracy and assumed the titled of dictator for few years when she lost an election. She also jailed many people including many political leaders that are still active today. Her son engaged in forced sterelizations and another son brought in a bill to kill the press called "defamation bill". Luckily it was repealed.

The current PM by far is a strict improvement on anyone we has seen in past.
I have two objections:

1- It says we procrastinate against our better judgement. But isn't the science gearing toward the fact that it is not the conscious brain that is controlling our behavior and actions? In that case, you can't solve procrastination by simply being aware of it.

2- Quoting from the article

> We really weren’t designed to think ahead into the further future because we needed to focus on providing for ourselves in the here and now.

Yet, every night I go to bed and I'm dreaming about a better future. Obviously the scenarios I'm dreaming about can't be for tomorrow and are quite distant in the future (better country, top job/career, traveling but mostly a hotter girl with big/nice house).

Did I say something in my comment that makes it sound like Okular doesn't run amazingly well on Linux?

I was talking about if you run it on Windows or MacOS.
Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

20 billion light-years! Truly mind-boggling.
I think the problem is not enough companies have a robust technical career ladder. There should be technical equivalents to each management position, that would have some overlap with management responsibilities (mentorship, translating business requirements into technical actions, representing technical needs to the business, etc). But without things like employee evaluations or hiring/firing (but still be involved in candidate selection / interviews).
I work from home and most of that article rings true. Because of my personality, I don't feel lonely, but sometimes in the morning I do want to watch the news or something on youtube in the background just to break "the silence" of sleep and getting ready to sit down at my desk.

All-in-all though I really enjoy working from home. Sure beats some open-office environment. I guess in an "ideal" situation we'd have a conference room/shared space to bring laptops to if we wanted to, but we just end up meeting at a bar or restaurant, bring our laptops, when we feel the need for face-to-face.

Of course it's debt. But it is secured debt, which is a bit of different risk profile.

Never forget though, you are paying quite a bit for the use of that money (i.e. the banks). This is mitigated in a rising market, but lots of houses (well land, really) don't appreciate fast enough to counter this.

Not to mention the additional costs. It might be more accurate to think of your house as a depreciating asset (the house) bundled with a (hopefully) appreciated asset (the land it is on)

I think this sentiment is an indication that what you made is not as useful as you'd like.

Communities enjoy things that are useful to them.

By virtue of you being interested in your own side project's subject matter, makes you a part of that community.

Build something that YOU find useful, then when you share you won't feel like its being invasive, it'll feel like giving a gift.

Is this why amphetamines make avoiding procrastination so much easier?
1. Why assume the person should sleep earlier? I, personally, am better if I sleep at a much later shift than if I sleep earlier. Not just that, but society works differently than my natural body clock. I can fudge some with good sleep hygiene and attention to waking times, but never enough to make 6-7am natural. Simply "check to see if you are sleeping enough" is a bit better than "sleep earlier". (I don't wake early since I don't have to).

2. Diet doesn't really help sleep. A healthy weight can sometimes help one sleep. Not having heartburn can help one sleep. Otherwise, though, it doesn't do much.

3. Exercise. I know this helps some folks, but I do get activity most days. This does not equate into mroe sleep.

4. An entire boatload of other things can affect sleep, only a few of which has to do with impulses. For example, it is spring and the sun wakes me. This is a temporary thing: I'm in Norway, and the sun is starting to come in the bedroom window. It'll shift soon enough. Health problems exist: Everything from aches and pains to chronic diseases of all sorts to sleep disorders. Sure, a few are lifestyle based, but many of those can have multiple causes. Sleep apnea, for example, is often tied to smoking and/or weight, but can be caused by a slew of other things as well (nerve damage, for example, or issues with one's nose and throat).
A counterpoint to the noise that an open office creates can be the silence it enforces. In a past life we had an open office with 20 people situated in "pods" of 2-3 desks. We were all developers and the problem wasn't that it was too noisy but was too quiet. I was afraid to say anything to anyone because the whole room could hear it and it would disturb everyone. Even just moving in your chair could cause a cacophony of squeaks and groans (or at least it felt that way). It felt like working in a library where everyone was afraid to breath too loudly.
Just because you pay for a service doesn't mean that you still aren't partially the product you're paying for.

As I've seen more responses here, I started getting curious about how screen size impacts results with that game, so I ran a few test runs on my desktop. I'm finding that my score varies by around 30-40% depending on the size of the viewing window, with smaller windows being better. So the results I posted, for 15" screens, figure to be lower than what folks would score with a 13" screen (or if using 15" with small viewing window).

Not to say that others won't be better at the game than my control runs, but I think that's going to contribute to some pretty high variance among ad hoc results reported here.
