About 30 years ago I saw “The Five Doctors” (the 25th anniversary episode of Doctor Who). Ever since then I’ve believed the smell, and associated feeling, were due to “positive ions”. In all that time I’ve never fact checked that line, but I think about it every time I notice the smell after a storm.

From the screenplay:
TURLOUGH: It's marvellous here. I feel so calm and relaxed.
DOCTOR 5: It's the high bombardment of positive ions.
TEGAN: It's like Earth after a thunderstorm.
DOCTOR 5: Same cause and reason.

My son had this when he was 5. We had a difficult few years. Now mostly recovered. very scary disease.
not a bad line of thought, and covers some of the non pathological cases.

but, we know these non-fiction book things are designed to be addictive (ladder climbing/achievement elements for games, timing elements for television, reward intervals for both) and so the pathological case is important to examine.

key question then in this case is, imo: to what extent was this driven by pathological vs. non pathological behavior? in my personal case, which is why i have so much regret, is that it was so darn easy to plow more hours in, to the detriment of the rest of my life, due to the design of the game. if it's genuinely not for him, then i agree, not an issue. i would personally consider it exceptional however.

Great review! Yes both the review and the recent article i cited mention the use of hot and/or/both cold sources to boost efficiency. with high grades of both one can approach 100% Even low grade (AKA heat pump type) sources boost well.
"What kept the two sides apart was not merely the difference in approaches, but the question of fees. UC paid $11 million for Elsevier subscriptions last year — about 25% of its overall subscription budget — while its researchers spent an estimated $1 million more on publication fees on papers subject to open access. The university proposed a new deal under which publication fees and subscriptions would be rolled together for a single sum in a model known as “read and publish.”"
Because academia is a run by a bunch of cronyist elitists who care about impact factor more than they care about science.
IPV6 is probably the worst "upgrade" to have ever rolled out and graced our world with its stinky existence.

English-language dictionaries and the reading textbooks I used in elementary school in the US in the 1980s use a different standard. A much worse one. And in ASCII-only media, there is X-SAMPA. eSpeak uses a variant of X-SAMPA; recent versions support IPA too, but only for output, and the conversion is lossy. Mandarin phonetics are often written with bopomofo, especially in elementary school, and Japanese people often use kana for writing down pronunciations—universally for elementary-school kids learning kanji, but sometimes even in contexts so inappropriate it's self-sabotage, like learning English pronunciation. And of course many languages have sufficiently systematic orthography that you don't need a separate convention for indicating pronunciation, except for linguists investigating dialect variation or foreign-language students.

But these are really marginal cases. The IPA is where it's at.
Stuntman Garry Connery demonstrated the efficacy of what you're describing when he jumped from a helicopter at 2,400 feet (730 metres) and steered himself using a wingsuit onto a runway of vertically stacked cardboard boxes. [1]

[1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEP8juRSBRo

> At approximately 200 feet (61 m) over the landing strip, he changed the configuration of his wingsuit so as to decrease the gliding and vertical (falling) components of his velocity to 50 mph (80 km/h) and 15 mph (24 km/h) respectively. [2]

May well not be unreasonable for a solid state component.

Also, keep in mind that MTBF is not expected lifetime or anything at all like that.

What a 1 million hour MTBF actually means is that if you had 1 million of these drives running at the same time, you'd expect one failure per hour. (Or similarly, if you had 1000 drives, you'd expect a failure every 1000 hours).

To expand on andrewstuart's comment:

Consider PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL' skip locked functionality lets you roll your own queue using the database. There's a good article here: https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/what-is-select-skip-lock...

I used this as the starting point to build my own custom queue-thing using postgres & skip locked with the following features: there is a fixed collection of about 100,000 tasks that need to be executed roughly on schedule, each task can have a different schedule and a priority, tasks can require certain resources to be available as a pre-req before they can execute, and finally there's a mechanism for tasks to define dependencies on other tasks. If a dependency of a given task executes, then that task is also scheduled for execution.

Maybe "queue" is less of an accurate description than "incomplete, bug ridden, ad-hoc, poorly specified implementation of make + cron". But there is task-queue like functionality so worker processes can do queries like "lock and give me the highest priority task that is scheduled for execution or overdue and that has enough resources to execute".

I don't have very many tasks (only 100k) and the update frequency is weekly or slower for most of them. I get reasonable performance running both postgres and two python worker processes (that execute the tasks) and a web app on a single low-energy box with an AMD G-T56N CPU and about 4gb of RAM. Cost is about $40 for the hardware (second hand), $15 a year in electricity, and $0 = $0 / hour * 10 ... 40 hours for the custom software build and a few post-release debugging sessions in order to get the locking working smoothly, since I don't bill myself for software dev services.
Exactly my thought. To me this really sounds like a useful step of indirection. I guess one of the show stoppers was that all market players have to agree on a standard for batteries. It took years to standardize a charging point/ cable.
It was certainly an epic game.

From what I witnessed, at times, Nadal was actively running around shots placed to his backhand. These were shots placed towards, almost, the corner of the court - perfect for a backhand reply, yet he was still trying to hit forehands. Sometimes it worked out quite well for him, other times not so much
Guessing the editor went with a "latte factor" headline because it's evergreen bait. Nytimes has seemingly been putting out similar content / taglines to cnbc lately.

- David Bach evangelized it in the mid-2000's.

- Ramit was using those lines at least back in 2010 "I'll show you how to earn more, too. Let others worry about saving $3 on lattes. I hope you'll be earning hundreds more -- or more -- each month." is a line from one of his emails.

- Whoever is creating Suze Orman content keeps using it: https://twitter.com/CNBC/status/1137464817738952704

I've seen it used as a headline for at least two decades (first time on some business school poster at UTexas), a bit after when starbucks late 90's expansion. Arguably since then coffee shops have had more 'business value' for some as laptop ownership became more common.
I get why you would get this during an infection, but why a week or two after an infection?

I wonder if I’m the only one: I just placed an order for my first Windows laptop in 11 years. The Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 7.

Apple’s overthin design, heavy aluminum, bad thermals, throttled chip, soldered parts scam is over for me. Love macOS but fact is Windows is nice now and I’m back to the fun days of weird and wild hardware. Feels great.
Amazing work

- C++

- Has a python API, this opens up a lot of possibilities. Language server protocol, linting and formatting tools, perhaps mypy

- Highlighting

- Jedi integration

- Being able to glue python and c++ to get it to work together in itself is a feat (where I've tried and failed before: https://www.git-pull.com/#scrapyard :P)

How did you like working with QT?

GPL is okay, except it precludes those when open source ambitions incompatible with that license. BSD/MIT/ISC/Apache projects can't pull it in. Too much paperwork to pass onto a layperson, a potential contributor.

From a glance, it's dumb.

Tracking every transaction (with e.g. gnucash), minimizing expenses, setting a maximum liquid and investing everything above that on a month per month basis is the basics.

But this silly book suggests budgeting (and spending these budgets whether needed or not), which is not how to do personal finances.

Be frugal, track everything, and invest. That's the gist of it. Being frugal starts with _not_ buying the book.

Chips are about 20-40% fat by weight. Definitely something to avoid regardless of whether your diet is low carb or not.
It really reads like an inventor story in Europe. The German who invented Lithium Ion batteries also run across the country and nobody was interested until Sony came along and needed something for their walkman...so the story goes...
I had a friend who was very thorough and insisted on pronouncing the g at the end of -ing words. I took college linguistics and remember this table. I tried to explain to her that "ng" may be spelled as two letters but, like sh and ch, is really a single consonant, and linguists give it its own name (the velar nasal) and its own singular symbol (ŋ).

Sometimes we clip the g, and say goin'.
Then there is the standard way to say it, goiŋ.
Then there is the way she was saying it, goiŋ-guh.

I find it fascinating that languages have different sets of sounds. For example, in English p and b are two different letters, and pat and bat are two different words. But other languages don't distinguish them, and their speakers really wouldn't notice a difference if you said pat or bat. On the other hand, I don't hear the difference between p at the beginning of word, like pat, and p at the end of a word, like stop. But one is "aspirated" and one isn't, and in some languages they are different letters, so pat and pʰat could be two different words. The only difference is a puff of air following one and not the other.

They say in the babble of babies you can hear all the consonants of the world, but as we take on our mother tongue we lose the ability to hear or say many of them.
You'll forget it anyway. :3
Corrosion and self discharge are the big problems for metal - air batteries.

I don't think that replacing science posters with clickbait or overly simplified popsci headlines is going to make things better.
I thought I had addressed it, but I guess I wasn't clear enough.

Whether you can skip or not, the impact will almost certainly kill you.

The only question is whether your corpse will bounce and if so, whether it will do so horizontally.

The article itself talks about horizontal traversal and saris you could make as much as two-thirds of your vertical traverse horizontally.

If true, that means you can't even reach a forty-five degree descent, which I'm pretty positive would mean no skipping.
He was also behind quite a few innovations at Oculus for their Rift headset, including their Time Warping tech.
Curious, is a trackball the "glans mouse?"
By any chance, was your friend Italian? I distinctly remember some Italian speakers I've met pronouncing it exactly like that, "goiŋ-guh". Probably because they're used to most words ending in a vowel.
> However. To suggest that a bot renders gameplay meaningless doesn't make any sense.

The bot was my example of how a game lost its magic for me. I was trying to convey that the tokens which disillusioned the previous commenter aren't actually so bad.

It's just that if you stop thinking about these rules as necessary and realize that they're just arbitrary decisions with no actual impact beyond this game and you're currently investing a significant amount of time into them....
Then you're very likely become disillusioned with the game and suddenly everything you do in the game is suddenly tainted by that admission.

the triggers vary widely while the actual reasons for the triggers are generally this disillusionment

I'm also not saying that gaming is a lesser hobby. I play games quite frequently, but never again with that previous zeal. It just became an activity to kill time with. Before, it was more.
Yeah, I know C/C++. Ok, I can write some documentation. I joined your slack channel. I will message you there.
I disagree. I think it's rude not to mention Sci-hub by name.
I certainly wouldn't want to burn it down as long as I still need the data, other than that I couldn't care less.
What are some other ways that have been tried, and how have they failed?
If you don't have enough resources to eat or keep warm, that will feel pretty real, right? Loads of people don't have enough to get by.

If the system is working properly, you should mostly be able to accumulate wealth only if you provide value to everyone else. That's the theory anyway.

There's this meme I see on HN sometimes that every use of time is equally worthwhile, and that any value judgments are arbitrary.

Highly skilled communities should value work that creates some value, above noodling around in games.

I've played lots of games. But I know they aren't real, beyond helping me relax, or maybe learn skills that transfer out. I agree with the OP that we shouldn't spend all our effort in games. I'm similarly skeptical of things like the fashion industry, super professional sport etc too but that's just me :)

The difference is that the decurrent branches fork and decrease in size at each fork from the main trunk, whereas the excurrent branches are all relatively small and mostly branch out from the trunk itself. So I think the term is 'down' in terms of 'down the length of the branches'.
Interestingly, although we think of [iŋ] as the standard pronunciation and [in] or [In] as low-prestige nonstandard variants, careful transcription reveals the alveolar variants frequently in even high-prestige dialects.
Based on a sampling of my friends in their 20s-40s in the SF Bay Area who are not in tech, it's pretty rare to think one could ever afford a house, or to be able to save a double-digit percentage of one's paycheck for retirement, or to spend anything "guilt-free."

That aside, this book apparently says pretty much the same thing as every other popular book on the subject.
Way way too many significant figures in that final number. Where is the 20% number coming from? You're sure there arent any virtual meetings? Or that there arent efficiencies that come from a split headquarters that could be worth more than 5 million bucks? What about the cost of fixing the issue - building a new office headquarters is gonna cost way more than 5 million. And why would a company with billions in income even care about a 5k inefficiency?
What laptop is that? Because this laptop has a lot of very weird ports (I'm leaving out USB-C):

2 micro USB-B ports, one with quick charging 3.0, one with USB OTG so the laptop can be used as an external mouse and keyboard for a different computer even when not booted.

2 ethernet ports, one with power over ethernet supporting 3 different standards for POE.

5.5x2.5mm power connector, fullsize SD reader, micro SD reader, 4 USB-A 3.0 ports (one always on), mini DisplayPort, full HDMI, 4 3.5mm audio jacks (in, out, mic, headset), VGA, DB-9 connector supporting many modes, HD Mini SAS, USIM card tray, PBD-12 pin connector, tripod mount, mount for attaching to a wall via screws or via magnets or mounting to your arm.

And on the power supply there are 8 ports.
A const reference to a mutable object doesn't guarantee that the object won't change contrary to an immutable object. Hence const is weaker than immutable.

You can have immutable objects in C++, but C++ offers almost nothing to make dealing with such objects fast and easy. Also the lack of GC makes designing persistent data structures an order of magnitude harder task than in most other languages.
Different social games filter for different types of people.

I played Ingress for a while, but the game like many others encourages a certain (sociopathic?) personality at the top.

I gave it up because I wanted it to encourage friendship and collaboration, but I felt that it really didn't.

The best rain smell is in the southwestern US like New Mexico and Arizona. The creosote bushes all release their scent into the air and it's the most refreshing thing ever. It's worth visiting the area for a few weeks during Monsoon season just to get a chance at experiencing this. You have to be near the desert though, not in an urban area.

I wouldn't mind components with a couple of tiny status LEDs, toggleable with a small dip switch or whatever. The issue is that manufacturers add these to simply get "rad-points."
I'm not sure that ends up disproving predictions of lower cost. By the Jevons paradox, more efficient steam engines led to steam-based eneegy being cheaper (you need less coal per unit of mechanical power), but people kept paying about the same in total- just using more mechanical energy. So the equivalent would surely be electricity costs dropping, and people using more power (air conditioning, etc.)
Such a loser

"Handful of rich, urban areas"

"Rich, Urban areas"

"Rich, Urban"

Considering the way that "urban" became a euphemism relating to low-income inner-city African Americans, I want you to stop and think about the way you're saying there's nothing wrong.

Here we are, universally gentrifying anywhere there's actually jobs. We apparently dont care where people go, or if there are jobs there to be had.

The regulatory scale of each instance may be local, but the effects are national, even international. Britain, Germany, the US, Canada, even France has serious problems with runaway housing rents.

Even those "median income" cities cited in another comment has seen median housing rent rise by 50% in the last 15 years while wages stay flat.

But since the responsibility lies with your city council, (and not, say, global international banks treating our housing as "investments" that magically never decreade in price, even after housing bubbles collapse!) this must be a local issue!

But who cares about those low-income people and where they're going. Let them eat cake! Are you the kind of person who cannot understand why young people want some Socialism?
Ahhhhhhhh... Other than making more money, nothing beats the sweet math that is compound interest.

Saving 1M for retirement by 65 is within the reach of many Americans.

For the worst case scenario, the median wage for a worker with no high school diploma is 30k. Putting away 5k per year in a Roth IRA, every year, until age 65 would leave them with ~1.1M, assuming a 6% (1.1% lower than historical) return. While this is a high savings rate -- ~15%, it is not impossible to hit in most places. This is ignoring catch up contributions, taxes, employer match, Social Security (rip) etc, but it's safe to say this is totally doable in most locales.

Given that the median salary for someone with a college degree is about ~65k, it is well within the grasp of median Americans to save 1M+ for retirement.

However, things like predatory lending, bullshit money gurus, and plain old ignorance stop most Americans from realizing this dream. It's possible, but there is simply no substitute for compounding growth.
I just got an X1 extreme, and although windows 10 pro really underwhelmed me (not very responsive, poor battery life, etc), putting linux on this thing has been an absolute dream. The battery life easily matches my old macbook air, and the performance is fantastic. From what I've seen over the past few weeks while getting moved into my laptop, the carbon series has even better support from the linux ecosystem than the extreme does.
I've replaced Python with Go for many of my scripting tasks. I like compiling my programs to an executable and never worrying about different versions, like the ongoing fight between Python 2.7 and Python 3.

Budgeting means looking forward, and being deliberate (if not frugal).

Tracking means looking back, and doing the accounting.

[With zero data backup] most do neither; some track; but those who track with a budget have better outcomes.

Then one gets into relationships, and finding that harmonious blending of skill/maturity with these concepts.

Yes it is!

It's a mindset. Visit Bogleheads.org, where scads of people will explain first-hand how they lived below their means (for a few decades), invested for growth, and now have prospered.

It's a proven methodology. It absolutely works. And yes, a daily latte is not going to be on the must-have list for most of the proven accumulators.
Those median cities have seen median rent rise as much as 50% in the last 10 years, without the rise in wages.

Stfu and pay your workers enough to live.
