As someone who is washing his own laundry since he was able to reach the detergent in the cupboard, it's literally a push of a button after turning a wheel to select the program. You can make anything sound complicated by listing every little step necessary to perform a task but that doesn't make it hard.

You buy detergent when you buy toilet paper, you throw your cloths into a hamper to not have to run around to gather them, and you hang them on a line in max 10 minutes. Ironing is something you don't need to do unless you want to buy cloths that require it.

Just because something might be done primarily by women it's not sexist to call it easy.

"On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity."

I'd argue that examples of disasters that are incredibly likely to be a consequence of rising global temperatures would fill the "intellectual curiosity" niche.
Your quote says "humans are hard-wired to conserve energy", not "humans are soft-wired to be stupid and can learn to be smart".

Where does "work on becoming smart" address anything you quoted?
What's more - things like drawRect, QPainter etc. are hardly comparable to what a real immediate mode GUI toolkit offers - you'd need to basically reimplement something like Dear ImGUI on top of Cocoa or Qt in order to get something similar.
And they are falling a bit into that trap:
"In 1850, the combined life expectancies of men and women stood at around 40 years in the United States, Canada, Japan and much of Europe."

But if you eliminate life expectancy at birth, you'll notice that there hasn't been a drastic improvement. It's been discussed on HN previously, and I think adult life expectancy has only improved by less than 20 years over the last several hundred.

(Someone with sources feel free to correct me).

The right has certainly not defended free speech. The same people who complain about the free speech to have the right to be paid tens of thousands of dollars to criticize weaker groups complain when football players decide to kneel during a national anthem. So free speech has little to do with it. But yes, the right has deployed free speech as an effective political weapon, while the left is all over the map.

Ah, yes, of course, theoretically if you can just increase thrust arbitrarily, that always solves the issue. (Again, of course, this might mean the whole plane becomes a rocket because the wings already fell off, so you might need some thrust vectoring too.)
From the article’s first paragraph, which was in bold:

“Thousands of emperor penguin chicks drowned when the sea-ice on which they were being raised was destroyed in severe weather.”

And for some context on what ‘thousands’ means relative to the global population of emperor penguins :

“But the Brunt population, which had sustained an average of 14,000 to 25,000 breeding pairs for several decades (5-9% of the global population), essentially disappeared overnight.”
> The Lithuanian government has accused Revolut of having Kremlin ties before, which reached boiling point when it was reported that the company would be moving all of its servers to Russia.

That I did not know. I was an early user of Revolut but I've been done with them for a while (their marketing team is responsible for me dropping it). Time for me to send them a GDPR removal request I guess. They don't provide any way of deleting your account other than going through their awful chat support system so I guess I'll have to suffer through that again.

Why would someone even say something like this? There are multiple models of how pricing works. Models at their core are incorrect because they simplify a complex thing to something that can be used for predictions. They are good models when they help your predict correctly and they are bad models if they can't help you make predictions. But all are "wrong" on purpose.

Therefore there must be different models because people want to predict different things. And of course neither of them is how things really work.

"this is not how X works" doesn't need to be said, because yes that's the idea of using models. Otherwise you wouldn't use models.

"this is not how it works in principle" assumes that there is no model that would claim previously said statement. And since you can create unlimited amounts of models of course you can very often construct a model where the statement works.

I suggest instead of claiming such a thing it might be more interesting to think about how such a model would help more or less to predict things.

PS: I believe The Intelligent Investor or how that book was called and a social model called Communism are both promoting models that connect use-value to price-value. So it's not even far fetched. It's a very common thesis for discussing pricing of investments.
It seems like it would depend on the number of projects and volume. If you imagine a paper kanban board in an office, they may be right that you don’t have one per project. Digital ones I typically think of (and use myself) as one per project. Depending on the system you may be able to filter and have the best of both. Tag the cards by project and filter when you want to see just that project. Unfilter when you want to see all projects at a glance. At some point it won’t scale, but that’s almost intentional. If you have too many cards on a board it is a signal you don’t have enough resources or have some other inefficiency that needs to be addressed.

Also depends on your definition of “project”. Maybe a better phrase would be one board per -product-?

Intel Roadmap Leak: Ice Lake in Q2, Tiger Lake and 14nm Rocket Lake in 2020
I don't think it's rude at all. I did Google "immediate mode GUI" after reading the first paragraph, because I also didn't know what it meant. The first three results were a Wikipedia snippet which didn't help my understanding at all, a Gist that begins with "Before you continue, if you don't know what IMGUI is don't bother reading this", and then third result was this HN comments section.

I would argue that "immediate mode GUI" is an extremely specialised term.

> I'd argue that examples of disasters that are incredibly likely to be a consequence of rising global temperatures would fill the "intellectual curiosity" niche.

I'd disagree, because good hackers are already familiar with the subject and possible consequences and such news aren't going to change anything. We're already being spammed with daily climate apocalypse news on all major news sites and come to HN for stuff that isn't from Reuters/AP/BBC/etc. ...
Who says there has to be a meltdown? We could just have stagnation for a long time. The policies may allow for poor allocations of resources to persist, leading to a stagnation in total productivity and in the median standard of living. See, e.g., USSR 1964-1987, or Japan recently.
While it's a warning of similar things that could happen due to rising temperatures:

> Quite why the sea-ice platform on the edge of the Brunt shelf has failed to regenerate is unclear. There is no obvious climate signal to point to in this case; atmospheric and ocean observations in the vicinity of the Brunt reveal little in the way of change.

Another example is the life expectancy of holocaust survivors. Holocaust survivors in israel have longer life expectancy than other israelis. That's because you had to have the best immune system and psychological will to live in order to survive the disease and starvation ridden concentration camps.

I agree with your point about demographic lottery. Your genetics and where you are born probably contributes significantly to your life expectancy.

Sure, C++ is complicated. And the way templates are compiled is positively weird, which in turn sometimes leads to long compilation times. The 'select your subset' thing is often repeated, but I do not see much of that. I am a bit worried, though, that C++ seems to keep growing to the point where it really might get to big and complicated.

Quick prototyping is not something that I do. Nor am I very much interested in it. At my place of work I have seen it done around me after which it was my task to turn the python prototype into C++. The most surprising thing there was how far the prototype turned out to be from what was actually needed, to the point where I very much question whether the prototyping exercise was useful at all. YMMV regarding this, of course.
You're not wrong, but you've missed the main distinguishing factor between the Third Party Doctrine and the ECPA.

ECPA is about unauthorised access (think tapping a phone line, but for the digital age) to electronic communications/cloud data. The Third-Party Doctrine is explicitly about the Government requesting these records - thus they would do not fall under "unauthorised access" in the sense used under the ECPA. Basically they cover two completely different situations.

Examples of disasters isn't enough. There must be some technology involved in the article that shows how future disaster is being prevented, otherwise it's just needless clickbait. We already know about climate change, not really anything more to be curious about there. I have flagged the article.
This is a factorization problem , like so many in engineering.
Putting unrelated things on the same board is expensive, because you have to constantly compare those apples and oranges to prioritize, estimate multi-ticket release dates, and so on.

Splitting things to different boards can also be expensive, because you have to prioritize resources at a higher level across boards. And if you break up dependencies, suddenly you have to flip between boards to answer questions.

It sounds like somebody was sick of the drawbacks in the second paragraph. But maybe the issue isn't that you need a monolithic board, it's that you need to make sure the boards are split in the right way.
My current team uses a digital board. We have the stories prefaced with the system so they stay together. Devs typically work between 1 or 2 systems during each sprint with about half of them being full stack. It works ok, but there is a hierarchy of how fun each project is to deal with and people get salty occasionally when they're stuck on old legacy stuff for multiple sprints

> Brave is just not very enticing.

Sure, but folks I know use it because it has other utilities than just block ads (like use less power, for instance) whilst retaining the compatibility that comes with being based on Chromium.

> Also the current trade of content for ads makes sense.

When the rate of folks blocking ads keeps increasing, does it though, in the long run?

> When it's opt-in, I fail to see why users would enable ads if they can get the content for free anyway. And if the ads are all low-end spam then I definitely don't see why they would choose them.

I hope you do realise the number of ifs and buts in your assumptions?

> It's a very tough 3-way marketplace to bootstrap where the user has all of the control and none of the incentive.

I realise that you are intimately familiar with the industry, but it takes a substantial rethink to overhaul something as entrenched as the online ad business.

There's novelty to Brave's approach, I don't think anyone can deny that. Browsers are gateway to the web, equally how Google (homepage) is, and folks are right to take that market on, instead of taking the giants like Facebook and Google at their own game.

I would like to refer you to how telegram has replaced browsers for most folks I know (they literally use it to search memes, videos, photos, links); and how WhatsApp has replaced email. The ads would be where content is. If browsers increasingly act as arbitrators of that content, then they're best placed to monetize it, as well, imo.

It is another matter for folks who simply detest ads, they're not intended users Brave is targeting, but some folks do feel guilt blocking them and wouldn't mind a middle ground. Also, you must realise that a large portion of the internet don't use any form of ad-blockers whatsoever, and when they stumble on Brave (because it is great for battery life and other features), they'd be more than happy to keep seeing ads that aren't all encompassing and privacy respecting, I'm sure.
How long are your fasts?

I experimented at the start of the year and didn't experience any drop in performance - office or gym - with water fasts less than 24 hours.

Fasting between 24-72 hours, though, really affected my sleep and made me feel weaker during workouts (though it didn't really affect me mentally). Curious to see if others experienced the same.

Can't comment on longer fasts as I didn't exceed 72 hours (though I did read many reports of it actually getting easier after that point in time).

Currently doing IF (very rough 20/4) which is working pretty well.

> it's used as a last resort

Usage appears to have shifted that way. However, that wasn't the case not so long ago and the fact that a facility is no longer being used (as much) does not mean it's not there. If you need it, it's right there to use as you wish.

Just because you tend not to open the roof doesn't mean your convertible is no longer a convertible, as long as you still can open the roof.

I disagree with your disagreement :)

Electron (and nearly all retained mode GUIs) will execute 10x more code trying not to execute the rendering code. Just skipping all that checking and jumping to the rendering code is arguably a win in many many cases.

To put some empirical data on it, game devs use ImGUIs because they keep up with perf where as that 10x overhead of retained mode guis creating gui objects, deleting gui objects, marshaling data into and out of gui objects, adding and removing event handlers and callbacks, and then trying to write a bunch more code to optimize all of that never leads to a GUI that is performant enough for the GUIs needed for game dev.

I think if you check actual apps, especially phone apps, you'll find it's not so clear which one wins. Phone apps almost always move in relation to the users fingers meaning the screen is being re-rendered. Usually new GUI elements are moving on and off the top/bottom of the screen. The overhead of creating/deleting/managing those objects is arguably greater than just re-rendering. The screen is already going to be re-rendered. At best you're getting a few cached textures from your retained mode gui all at the expensive of managing GUI objects.

For desktop apps it really depends on the app. It's got nothing to do with the complexity of the UI and everything to do with what the app does. A text editor might be a win for a retained mode GUI. Photoshop/Maya it's less clear. For example Unity is ImGUI and has very complex UI. Much of the UI has to respond in realtime to the state of the user's document that is changing constantly.
First, I think this is an interesting question. However, I would recommend not asking directly about a work issue in a public place. It's kind of airing dirty laundry and could possibly upset people unless you have advance permission.

But to answer the question, it really depends on how you want to do it. If you have a single team doing everything and everyone can grab any ticket, then having a single backlog means that the priorities are obvious. I can't tell you how much that improves the planning process and it could very well override the problems with having a mixed board. If you are doing kanban, then having the priority correct is pretty important.

If you have multiple different teams or multiple different roles, then it can help to split out the overall board into streams. However, in my experience it helps to have an overall priority list for as long as possible. If you are using software to display the board, then it might be possible to automatically split it into streams. Once you get too big, though, it becomes impossible to do central planning for everything, so it becomes a moot point afterwards.

Different people react to context switching differently as well. Personally, I have literally 0 problems with it. Some people end up going something like twice as slow if they have to context switch. The normal solution I've found is to allow people who have a problem to cherry pick. If people start to game it, then you might need a manager to intervene, but I've rarely had problems with it.

When in doubt, talk to your teammates and come up with a compromise ;-)

You seem to have missed folding, which is both the most labor-intensive part and the one OP was about. Also, who nags the kids (or other adults) to do their part? That's work too.
If you think things would run better if you worked on blocks of things at a time, either see if it's OK for you to focus on one product/tech for a day/week/whatever your preferred timeframe is. As long as you're taking tickets from high up in the backlog, I'd expect that would be fine.

Otherwise, would it make sense to batch them when prioritising? Same effect, but across the team.

Fundamentally, just try things and keep what works. It doesn't really matter if that's not how other people do it (though knowing general approaches is useful to see what to try).

I just go straight to Walmart for such things now. The manufacturer branded heads are about the same price there as at Amazon. The only disadvantage I’ve seen buying in store at Walmart is that for generic heads they only carry their own generic brand (Equate) whereas Amazon has multiple generic brands. Even that is probably not much of a disadvantage, because I have more confidence in Equate generics than the assorted Amazon generics.
