I can't really imagine a job in which someone is bothered to pay you to do work, but cares so little about the work you're outputting that they don't notice whether or not you're working efficiently/effectively.

I've worked from home full-time for just over 5 years now. I'm self-employed and answer to my client directly. I operate almost entirely autonomously and am given a heap of freedom, both tech-wise and with respect what hours I work. I've not once in 5 years reported my exact hours worked - but of course do report days off sick etc.

However, despite my client not being a developer (or overly technically inclined) I can assure you my client still notices if I'm being less productive than usual - which over the course of 5 years is somewhat inevitable e.g. when my daughter was born.

Actually, I find that not having someone knowing that I'm ticking over hours sitting at desk, hitting buttons, and making the screen flash, causes me to work more. For the last 5 years I've consistently worked more hours than I ever did in an office environment, not by a small margin either.

Sometimes you just don't feel "switched on", but if you're working in an office you're still tallying up hours. However, if I'm not totally switched on, I somewhat subconsciously know I need to work longer in the afternoon/evening. This is simply because I feel pressure (am motivated) to live up to the standards I've established with my client. I must add though, that my client is absolutely fantastic, any perceived pressure is almost entirely self-inflicted.

If anything, I need to start setting firm boundaries so that I work less. This means I need to start considering those less productive "hours worked" as genuine hours worked, just as I would if was working in an office.

This is great for those who have already been through a CBT program administered by professionals.

I said it once and I'll say it again, CBT saved my life. When my anti-depressants took close to 2 months to work my doctor referred me to a partial hospitalization program that taught it.

If you know someone suffering from depression please don't install this on their phone until they see a professional.

I’ve had experiences like this with glassblowing. When I have an interested observer, such as a student, I often get enthusiastic and make several pieces in a row and use a wider variety of techniques.

Also, many glassblowers work while hanging out together on video chat.
Maybe an agency or organization building a DNA database. Or maybe they're looking for a specific criminal using familial DNA, similar to how the alleged Golden State Killer was located:

I could argue that more efficient energy storage and processor will make it reality, but then, same logic can also be applied to desktop computing. So ultimate argument becomes, bigger machine will have more power than smaller machine. Ok. Right.
Well in China they do that with cameras see if students are focusing on the classroom. I think the feeling may be the same.
"The tri-camera is Israel tech, they rely on Samsung for memory chip and OLED"

So what? Apple didn't make their own camera sensors. Apple didn't make their memory chips. Apple used Samsung's OLED too. And iPhones are great products.

Of course, you can argue Huawei's software is lagging behind Apple, but where is Samsung standing?
What if it’s pride and not shame? One may feel like they get to show off how talented or productive they are.
You can pay with cash at the ticket machines at all of the link stations, not just Westlake/large stations.
I'm not so sure this is true.

Yes, being "on" takes energy, but it's counterbalanced by the buzz of productivity and working at your peak.

I'd expect to be more tired at the end of day, but also to feel more accomplished.
Asking for legal advice, obviously.
you're right. thanks.

and yet, it's interesting/educational to me that the ambiguity elicited differing responses depending upon the model year of the MBP. the things used to be maintainable!

but, nowadays, when a single key starts malfunctioning, it's a pretty significant repair job, a big problem.
I take it that distinction is why they said "undiagnosed".
>Sometimes, taking care of yourself in some way is the best investment you can make.

Yes but is spending money on little things you don't need really taking care of yourself? I don't like the mindset that the only way to treat yourself or take care of yourself is to buy things.
If a rogue nation develops such missile technology then they could cause incredible disruption to the rest of the world. E.g. think of the DPRK being able to knock out GPS satellites - this missile tech could bring is western currency for the DPRK if the like of al-Quieda or the Taleban were willing to pay millions of $$$ to them for downing US military sats.
I haven't seen any word otherwise yet, and it's a local news site that frankly seems very... boring. The usual local news.
GDPR is in effect as soon as one party is within the boundaries of the EU.

I find it astonishing how much iron ore is shipped from Western Aus to China, it would be far more ecologically sounds to smelt it there, same is true with most of the things dug out of the ground. I suppose in the scheme of things this is the thin end of the wedge but shipping unrefined iron ore at a 30% weight premium is desirable so that China has a steel industry without depleting their own reserves of Iron ore.
Just keep the old one in the attic.

Old Braun vs new razor is like nice laser printer vs. ink jet.

I bought a cheap Li-Rechargeable (Philips OneBlade). They charge you half the price of the whole razor for a single blade (15€) which sometimes breaks just when you fumble the long hair trimmer off of it.
My bad I must have gotten it confused with something else. I've seen mention that "rare earth minerals" may run out eventually and have implications for batteries but I guess I misremembered.

Your argument that it exists _for_ anything is a bit hollow. What do superstitions exist _for_? What does religion exist _for_? What does the shame of being on the LGBTQ spectrum exist _for_? What does fat shaming exist _for_?

That something exists and that people are using it doesn't at all mean that the use is still valid, that it ever was valid, or that there are not much more fruitful alternatives.

Moreover your argument that you need guilt and shame to have a good society is the same sort of argument that Christians use against atheists and their lack of religion. The reason I don't go raise hell is simply because helping other people is what has been burned into my mind as a child. I don't hand a homeless person money because I'm worried about the shame of not doing it, nor do I feel any real happiness from when I do it; I do it because I believe it is my duty (which is the same reason I rarely miss deadlines).
Why shouldn’t they?
Made me think of the legendary Aleksei Stakhanov and the movement named after him:

Good to know these patterns!!
You can pay with cash at all of the link stations. The ticket machines will take cash and dispense a paper ticket.

And you can totally pay cash on the RapidRide buses, you just have to board via the front door of the bus. (If you pay with an ORCA card you can board via the back door if you want to, but if you're paying cash you have to board normally).
Tons of research going in to reducing usage of lithium in Li batteries. It's in grams per kw range and reducing, there could be solid lower bound but till we reach there we are trying.
Good points! I agree the feeling of shame is pre-reflective. At the same time, I think we have the possibility of comporting ourselves in a way-of-being that better copes with shame. For me, By reflectively using your pre-reflective feeling of shame as a tool for productivity feels wrong (and this is personal and I don't have the best words right now to expound that feeling)

Re Copyright claims: it's a good point. Some countries have tough ISP's and laws.

But in other places, this isn't a big issue.

But to share a file, usually you have to keep it in your file list - and that takes up visual space, attention, and bandwidth/storage, so you just delete it.

But what if the software limited bandwidth/storage for such files to 5% of your total, and managed that in a way that wouldn't clutter or take any attention ?

Maybe in a different tab - so you'd still have full control, if needed ?
Care to share your query string? I can't find it
Even that is giving a server error. Generally in India, IATA codes are used for flight numbers.
A CIA case officer isn't exactly a normal civilian. I'm also not sure why you think being in the military would make any difference here. For all we know, he was recruited out of the military. There's nothing magically special about non-civilians that makes them more or less likely to commit espionage.
> And yet, near completely useless as shown by cases known to wide public.

How do you know that? A few public failures says nothing about how many successes there are or aren't. Any system involving hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people is going to have some failures, no matter how good the system might be.
> map, reduce, sort and filter on arrays in modern JS is similar to SQL

maybe that, but then again, what we do with custom data structures that are required for certain things to be halfway efficient, is much harder or impossible to do in SQL, correct?
Having a QA team, who are full fledged software engineers, who can provide formal correctness tests is the ideal situation.

They’re developing a whole other project in isolation from yours and the only thing that needs to be agreed upon is the interface(s).

> you want to get an older version of one particular dotfile, you'll also be getting older versions of other dotfiles as well.

That doesn't really follow; it is easy to check out old versions of a single file with git:

git checkout <revision> <filename>

for ".bashrc from two commits ago on the current branch", that would be:

git checkout HEAD~2 .bashrc

Hopefully I'm not just misunderstanding your point here.
You don't have to buy an ORCA card. The ticket machines dispense both paper tickets and ORCA cards. The ORCA cards cost $5, so most tourists opt for paper tickets instead.
When could we get a Lithium-Ion Solid Battery or is that a pipe dream? I once read it was used in extreme small quantities, sort of in AAA Battery size for Military purpose, but it was not a well known source of publication. And I could not find other evidence.

While it is important to further drive down the price for EV adoption, the price of battery makes little different to devices I am interested in, such as Phones, Tablet and Notebook. We want higher energy density, and even the optimistic projection we could get only 30% more from better formula in the next 5 years.

Battery is already the taking the largest volume in these devices, Not only do I want my iPhone thinner, ( The current iPhone is thicker, I prefer it to be iPhone 6 ~6.7mm or even iPad Pro 5.8mm thick ) I want it to have more battery. Which means we need to increase the battery density by at leat 50% compared to today to hit a useful battery life improvement while having a thinner design.

Then there is other improvement we want such as rapid charging and higher cycle counts.
This sounds like a somewhat uncommon use case to me, but wouldn't a simple git per-file checkout work here?

Something like:

git checkout c3f2ab -- configs/.vimrc
No. The code they claim to protect runs in userspace not in TEE
If your gravity battery isn't based on water then it's just vaporware like the thousands of other gravity batteries.
It sounds like you're questioning the whole idea of accountability. The mechanism here is the same as if you have a friend check in on you to help you quit smoking or exercise more or eat better. It's true that you're adding pressure/shame/guilt into your life, but I don't think it's particularly sinister.

The way I see it, the mind is extremely complex, and the decisions you make in the moment may not be the decisions you'd like to make in life. In the moment, you might end up eating a tempting ice cream sandwich, or you might get distracted by Facebook when you meant to be working on a meaningful project. The sort of accountability from the article is an example of understanding your goals, emotions, and habits, and harnessing that understanding to better achieve what you really want. The pressure/shame/guilt here is a tool to be used with care, and if it negatively affects your life, then certainly you should stop or scale it back a bit.

I find happiness from productivity because I try my best to work on projects that I find meaningful (inside and outside of my job), and I find pride/meaning to be one of the most satisfying forms of happiness. People who don't find meaning in their work might still feel that productivity helps them achieve their goals by getting a raise or keeping a job, thus providing money to use for other goals (like happiness).
Great project!

There's a typo in your docs, first line below "Source Code", it says "maneer" instead of "manner".

I'm curious how your projects are doing finally. Would you mind sharing? Maybe even via an open dashboard like Buffer and Ghost are doing?

I hope you're either doing good already or will do soon!
Shkreli made all of his investors whole, and put a program in place that you could get Daraprim at minimal cost if you couldn’t afford it. He raised prices on those who could pay: insurance companies.

I love a deserved smear, but Shkreli doesn’t deserve half as much as what he got from the uneducated public, nor his unnecessarily long jail sentence.
Far more valuable for the government to establish a relationship with a company that will do this for them, since our laws prohibiting the government from doing thing X seem to have no qualms with it contracting with company Y to do thing X...
No amount of modifications in the kernel will make this safe. What if I load a module that fixes my IRQ handlers? Or do they forbid modules? What if I find an exploit in the kernel? Or did they somehow make a 100% exploit-free kernel?

This sort of thing is exactly why TEE exists. It cannot be done half in userspace half in TEE
I used these for years. Especially the Windows handles checker I found incredibly useful.

That being said: When I recently recommended it to a friend he complained about virus scanner warnings. When we ran the tool through Virus Total we had a considerable amount of warnings and these were not only from the heuristic checkers.

I have considerable trust in Nirsoft and maybe these warnings are wrong but on the other hand I have confidence in Virus Total too.

> the average BEEFY desktop PC uses 300 to 600 W in practice ... an iPhone 5 is 0.112 kg ... if 400 Wh/kg is the best lithium will take us, then we'll never have iPhone 5-sized or weighted devices capable of the same power as a desktop PC ...

Except that Apple’s A12 is already matching up against Skylake, meaning the iPhone/iPad is currently beating Intel desktops still widely in use. The gap is not so large.

Perhaps that points to our cognition being a mathematical product.

Are there ways of understanding things in a non-mathematical - meaning non-cognitive - way? Is there something greater than Turing Completeness?

Such an idea is silly because we're using reason to fathom the answer.

When we encounter some sort of alien cognition out there which is beyond the bounds of math, it either will be understandable and expand our mathematical vocabulary as we seek to formalize it...

Or it will look just like gibberish and passed off as 'too chaotic, or too self-referential', or some other unfathomable quality.
Enjoy life while we have it. In the long run we're all dead.

A mains powered a 400W iPhone 5 sized device seems impractical from a heat dissipation standpoint.
Git can fetch a single file as of any commit with 'git show' and show the history of any single file with 'git log' or 'git diff'. Any decent web/GUI tool will do these things too.

A Git repo per small text file seems like overkill to me.
I can’t even imagine the environmental / labor horrors that must be involved to allow for a phone to cost $7 retail.
Sure, but this person implied that they had been to doctors and the doctors disagreed with their own self-diagnosis. That's a very different thing than simply not having been diagnosed.
What's interesting to me is that neither of you provided sources for your claim. On what basis should I accept either of them?

Not trying to be a jerk :) And I know not every statement deserves footnotes. Just thought it interesting that even in the case of refuting someone else's information it doesn't happen (often). :)
Wow, I get frustrated and feel unproductive if my feedback loop is longer than 2-5 SECONDS. This must require a seriously different approach to trial and error exploration
Why do you need sustained desktop level performance for your phone? Anyone who cares about graphics will use a console or PC anyway. Then there is the heat problem. You don't want to hold a 600C hot phone in your hand anyway.

Hi @mattrp

thanks for your words! About being free is because it's a first version and i want to test if there is a real interest for this product in the market. I would like to gain some traction in order to put a big money/time investment, because it's a side project at the moment.

About integrations with other tools yes! it would be great to be able to import data from other platforms. I'm actually using Redmine and Toptracker from Toptal, so probably they are the first tools i will integrate, then i will study the integration with others like Jira and commercial platforms.

If you are interested in talk about this integrations or any other improvement write me here: support@sprintcost.com I will be glad to talk with you. Thanks again :)

It originated as a way for people who aren't familiar with CLI to install things. People have now been trained to expect this level of simplicity. I've worked with people that will blindly copy and paste these lines into terminals, having absolutely no idea what they do, and even blindly type in sudo password when prompted. It's basically the worst of all worlds from a security perspective. In my opinion this should be burned to the ground.

Normally when I see this I will manually download the bash script, read through exactly what it does, and manually type in each command instead of running the script directly. This way I know what it is doing, and it can't hide command output by piping into /dev/null and doing something without my knowledge.

Seriously people. Never. Trust. Bash Scripts.
Hi, the service looks neat.
As others found the verification is a bit clunky and delete email address doesn't work.
I'm working on an email app, which converts HTML/plain text to markdown. Not yet released :)
As far as see the plain/text is written markdown. I would suggest you modify content type to be
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed; markup=markdown"
In this case, an email client will know it is markdown and can use it without conversion.
"Mail Mate" mac app support it, hopefully, my app for iOS soon.
"r/Android might make you feel it's a big comunity"

Give you another example. I'm on the market for a new phone. I went to a local shop to get a feel of the latest offerings. While I was there, three groups of friends/couple/mother-and-son came to the shop and they all talked about Huawei. This is not in China btw.
That they falsely claimed multiple difficult-to-disprove origins makes this very interesting. How difficult would it be to falsify DNA evidence, given a set of good samples?

I could also see this being used to poison DNA records in databases like FamilyTreeDNA's, who collaborate with the FBI [1]. What services and databases allow for sending in samples of this type?
It's probably down to the labor cost of smelting. Unskilled labor is prohibitively expensive in Australia compared to China. If they manage to fully automate smelting, end to end, I don't see why the smelting wouldn't be done locally in Australia.

Why would you want source code for that? WinAPI is visible in dependency viewers. File system operations visible in process monitor. Same with registry access. WMI queries are visible in event viewer (simple setup is required). Network activity is visible in sniffers.

Even when source code is available, these tools are both easier to use (reading source code can be very time consuming for large projects), and they give more accurate results.

By the way, sometimes I use these tools when I debug or troubleshoot my own software.

Source code only helps for simple programs. For sufficiently complex software, looking at source code increases development time instead of helping.
