If you ignore the thumbs, each finger has 3 subsections, so in total you have 12 "slots" on your hand. And you can use them to count with the spare thumb. It's even more convenient than counting on fingers because you're only using one hand, and the other one is free!
Finished the first last year, stalled halfway through the second. I’ll finish it sooner or later. The series is entitled ‘Zones of Thought’ IIRC.

Also check out Alistair Reynolds. House of Suns is probably my favorite, which is a pity because it’s a standalone not a series. The whole Revelation Space series is good too.

Lately it’s been the new ‘Expanse’ book, and ‘The Culture’ series.
Personally I'm happy for it to remain as nostalgia.

I was at a campsite recently and the people in the tent next door had a playlist that was execrable. They weren't actually too loud and they adhered to the site's night-time noise cut-off rule, but their choice of music - massively different from mine - really degraded the pleasure of the camping experience that evening.

YMMV.

[Edit] Also, I am perhaps biased here because I am moderately deaf, and thus sensitized to noise pollution. Music makes it very hard to follow conversations, even with my hearing aids. This wasn't actually a problem at the campsite, but is a total conversation killer in enclosed spaces with hard surfaces (like many restaurants).
I didn't enjoy this at all. I thought the tone and the style were pretty awful.
It’s probably a magnetic bottle. Despite not having any net electric charge, neutrons have a magnetic moment. Not being a physicist I have no idea how to calculate their behaviour in a magnetic field, but I am aware they respond to one.

Ask HN: Tool for Event Logistics Planning
Currently, I'm planning out an event. To plan the day itself, I have created a spreadsheet with tasks for the day itself, their time span, responsible person, etc.

However, I keep wondering whether there is a better way to manage it. Clearly, a dedicated tool could allow hierarchies, custom views and quick overviews. Is there any tool like this? A spreadsheet becomes cumbersome fast.
That's fine. Use what works for you. There's more than one way to skin a cat.

It isn't particularly balanced to assume that the spring way is the only way to do things because magicians...

If the OP has that problem with spring then he can use the base servlet API or another solution.
>Were you alive when Microsoft reigned as the dark lord?

Yes I was. I worked in that stifling environment when anything not MS related was dismissed out of hand. Where MS's own marketing exhorted everybody to replace their 'legacy' unix systems with e.g. the wonderful system of Biztalk, Exchange and IIS.

Yes, constant vigilance so that they never regain that position again, as I'm pretty sure they desperately want to.
There is not much political leverage to be gained by building a port named after the current president [1], if he then loses the next elections and his successor decides to pay the debt by handing them the port.

Gaining that real estate might look like a win for China, except of course now they're stuck operating it for very little profit. (Certainly less profit than the interest on the loan was planned to be, since otherwise the Sri Lankan government would've just repaid it.)

Many Chinese infrastructure projects in other countries appear irrational if you consider the Chinese government as a single actor. However, they become rational if you consider that they are a way to turn money from the coffers of the Chinese state into foreign currency in the hands of a Chinese construction company. Some of that money will certainly find its way back into the pockets of the decision makers approving the project.

> I got shat on by an architect who otherwise had nothing to do with the project and a boss who never listened to any one else.

Sole aim of some people is just to have power over others, force subordinates to commit their mistakes, and to replace subordinates with others who are increasingly zealot, obedient, and desperate. I have no idea how to defend myself in such situations, usually I just quit.

"Professional managers" (persons being managers and leads from the beginning of their career), and overeducated people joining the workforce late in their lives and straight from or shortly after the academia are the two profiles from whom I observed such behaviour.
> So my point is not “python is hard because of mutability”...

ok

> ...it’s that pythons mutability really gets in the way of the beginner and causes lots of gotchas for even well experienced developers

So python is hard because of mutability? (well, harder anyway).

The fact is, if python had immutability it'd be semantically simpler. Unquestionably (I'd claim). But that comes at a performance cost, so mutability is allowed. That's when we get these confusions of what an operation does (because the semantics get non-simple). My point is either way we pay a price.

Anyway I have a feeling I may be misconstruing your point, sorry if that's so.
The amount of innovation that has happened in the space in 40 years is just amazing to me.

From having to carry around boxes of cassette tapes that now fit in a small 2mm chip, to the wireless headphones with individual Bluetooth pairing that can recognize speech, to the live streaming of not just songs but music videos while on a moving train, makes me wonder how far we've progressed in such little time.
On this vein one may benefit from the Enchiridion of Epictetus.
Interesting… most of the motivation to use new tech is that it enables me to solve problems more efficiently. When you use older, but more established technology, its limitations still hold back the problem solving a bit. This is especially hard to take when I know there are better solutions out there. And it also costs more time & money.

There probably is a pain point somewhere, where it makes sense to switch. I did like the point about reducing the cost of new technology – that may be quite often easier said than done though.
How many of these will appear naturally in powerful AI systems?

Perhaps many! Maybe by trying to emulate a human brain we will end up recreating its flaws.

I am very excited in the progress of deep learning applied to symbolic, logical reasoning, like theorem proving. Theorem verification is easy and tractable, proving is not.

We can have heuristic algorithms come up with provably correct algorithms! That is vaguely analogous to a human writing a program then proving it correct. Now that will be useful.
Sounds a rotten situation, hope things are better for you now. Your example highlights how toxic the softer/environmental aspects can be, not just challenging technical factors.

Personally I find I am happy to deal with technical challenges - that's what the job is about, IMO - but political and otherwise artificial challenges are a massive turnoff which I look to either get removed or extricate myself from one way or another.

Looking out for the latter and dealing with it somehow before it escalates/accumulates is a great way to avoid getting stuck in a position where burnout can develop.

Monetize a Website Through Advertising
Sadly its become real again. Cities were starting to pick themselves up. Now this new generation is doing exactly what their parents did, run away. It is not a 'woke' generation.

Ironically, if you can afford it, cities are better than suburbs for schools etc. You can have two layers of people in exactly the same place and never have them interact. The richest and poorest schools are just blocks apart.
The advertising industry has had big offshore technical teams in the Philippines for years, and call center business has been shifting there as well. Overheads are low, the educated population speaks English at a high level, and it's (in my experience) an easier place to do business than India.
Really interesting, sometimes I do wonder if at some point we'll see the coastal regions (or maybe W. Coast and Northeast) split off from the rest of the U.S.
youtube-dl is one of those rare programs that you shouldn't download from a repository. Do this instead:

- Download from the project page and put it anywhere in your path (it's a single file)

- Subsequently do 'youtube-dl -U' whenever you want to update. It updates itself in-place with the latest release (there's usually 2 or 3 released per week)
When I was a student I worked up a mix tape for a girl I was into. I spun the tape to the start of the second track then gave it to her. Next time I saw her I (casually) asked her something she could only answer if she'd heard the first track. That meant I knew she'd played it through, then rewound it and played it again.
Physicists have considered two time dimensions, but it seems that 3+1 spacetime is 'priviledged'. Here is a chart showing properties of n+m-dimensional spacetimes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Spacetime_dimensionality....

This article speaks about mirror universe that exists in the same 3+1 dimensional space-time as ours. It's just that the two are transparent to each other. Only gravity ties them together.
If you think this is crazy you should have a look into CPU manufacturing.
Exhaustion leads to serious problems and, in the airline industry, that often leads to disasters (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgan_Air_Flight_3407). Hence the legislation for limiting the number of hours a pilot can fly in a month. There's a lot of science behind that decision - for good reason. It's a mature approach to managing the human resource (pilots) that seems to be absent in other industries. I really wish there were more studies regarding the level of concentration needed to solve software problems and how long that level of concentration can be maintained (weeks? months?) before exhaustion sets in - swiftly followed by burnout.
Study finds listening to music can help regulate mood in stressful situations
You are right in that lack of sleep is never healthy. It also has a bidirectional relation with chronic stress: lack of sleep can decrease performance and increase stress. And insomnia and sleep issues are a symptom of chronic stress. Insomnia is often more symptom than cause though.

I suffered from insomnia and chronic stress and it creates a negative feedback loop: You sleep bad because you're stressed out and you stress out because you're tired on the job.

It has to be noted that a bidirectional between insomnia and burnout specifically relationship with burnout has not been found [1].

Full-stack developer with around 4 years of experience.
I've worked with several startups in bringing their web products to life from scratch, and have worked on all sides of the problem (sometimes even helping them with market research).

I really enjoy working for companies that put an accent on improving the lives of their customers and afford their team the trust they need to get things done.

Very into optimizing code and usability when I get the chance. I've been the sole developer for a course website since 2016 (mostly pro-bono during my spare time) where I've been using a mixture of Google's services and internal tools to max out speed, and we handle a decent traffic load on the web hosting equivalent of a toaster as a result.

I also maintain a browser extension that counters GDPR/privacy spam, and that's brought on a slew of fun performance problems to tackle as well.
