Well I've always been happy at work. So I don't think happiness is fleeting for everyone. "Work" is really work if you like what your doing.
Do they, or is that just the hype?

My internal combustion car gets 500+ miles of range on a 5 minute charge (fillup). It does that with 5 year old storage (gas tank). It does this at 5 degrees in the winter.

Can any electric vehicle match that?

If your use case is southern California urban driving - sure.
Thank you very much for this. :) Yes, it was npr, and it is perfect example of quality content not needing megabytes of js content while still beeing usable. As a content. Not eye candy.

(Disclosure: I read book each week and I am thrilled by anything new I learn. I dislike pictures of cute animals and I do all communication with friends over the phone or going out.)
Exactly my thoughts. Also cruise ships are ludicrously bad for environment.
That's hard to do in an apartment sadly.
I agree, but what I meant is that if you're forced to use a language other than Haskell on the backend, than there's no advantage in choosing GHCJS over Purescript in terms of code sharing.

Bombardier produced the new IC2 trains in Germany. There were a lot of issues (including the carriages rocking from side to side which made people sick) and things breaking repeatedly. Seems like Bombardier's MO.
Because this (or other) fuel is still necessary right now. The way they use the money also benefits the whole country. Cutting down the Amazon is not necessary and merely benefits a small number of farmers.
Yeah, that part infuriated me. I guess Sony - you know that scrappy little company trying to make it in this world - just can't put together the resources to build this world-changing gadget without OUR HELP, you know?

We live in a world of increasing complexity. Especially in tech, it has become increasingly apparent that no one can do everything.

It is inevitable that you will need to collaborate with people if you want do something that will impact the world. There is no way around it.

I tried in on the HN guidelines and then on the output. So the summary of the summary is:

which isn't bad really.
I know what you mean.

After so much time the code, programs, libraries and OSes melt into each-other and it all seems so... pointless.

Experimenting with things outside software, especially those which involve physical aspects seems to be the right choice. There's much more to life than ones and zeroes.
It's a pity things are going in that direction. But i don't think we are in position to judge the Brazilians over this.

I watched a short documentary about this issue recently on Youtube, and the journalists went to some really remote area and spoke with the mayor of town there. The guy was big supporter of Bolsonaro and he said something that is actually very true. He said US and Europe have no right to tell Brazil what to do with it's natural resources, because they have already used theirs to industrialise and develop and now want to prevent Brazil from doing so.

And as unpleasant as it sounds he is right. People in the western world can wipe their buts with toilet paper made from virgin pulp, but Brazil and other poor countries should hold should preserve the lungs of the planet.
You raise a good point, I am wrong you are right. Of course the costs are on the entire principal, thank you for correcting me.

Investing in PE/Hedge/VC again is not likely for me. So I agree, with an advisor at .35% and vanguard at 0.04% - it's .39% per year. With 10M invested in VSTAX under these numbers, maybe it gains 4% but i pay out .39 or almost 10% of the gains. Far better than the 2% - but we are on the same page.

Agree that the advisors can have misaligned incentives - I trust the two I'm working with though based on relationships who trust them, so I'm fairly certain they are altruistic, a bit.

By the way, really good podcast on Hidden Forces with Ben Hunt for Demetri Kofinas about the "awesome renumeration" for money advisors, as long as you're right :)
I remember having to format my PC after updating uTorrent and just spamming next. I installed some opt-out adware that was a decent rootkit.
The title is a little bit clickbait. What she’s really getting at is more like—the way to be happy at work is by finding meaning in your work.
Because that's literally how they fund their entire society? Even with the super high taxes, it's not enough to cover the level of social spending they are trying to maintain. Not to mention that it's also going into a fund for all pensions. In that way, it's great that the government kept control over the fossil fuels and that the money from them at least serves the Norwegian people.

Most US cruises are all inclusive for a lot of things.

So the best possible spin is that it's a prepaid American hotel room that happens to travel the world.

I have some friends that enjoy them in groups. And you can certainly get deals when they're trying to fill unused rooms.
SDNet: Semantically Guided Depth Estimation Network
Ideally, don't allow manual changes to happen. It's not that hard to setup for different environments and testing, so IME, it's not been much of an issue.

However, if you really can't change your ways of working, which I understand if you can't, then try out the "terraform refresh" command. I've been importing state recently, to move some of our own infrastructure over to TF, and have found it to be quite useful for things like manual security group changes. Basically, I'm building things up bit by bit, and when one of my states gets out of sync I've been updating the local config and running that command, which brings the state back in line.

In general, once you get your workflows sorted out and running for a while, you're unlikely to have any major issues with Terraform. Just make sure to use remote states and version them whenever you can (for example, turn on versioning on the S3 bucket if you use S3 as the remote).
Yeah, kind of made me cringe a bit (considering his experience).
BC's economy outside of major cities remains heavily dependent on logging and mining and other forms of resource extraction. Look at the trainloads of cargo going to the coast and what they contain, and what's getting loaded onto ships in Burrard Inlet and at Deltaport.
Hi HN.
There is cool app that lets you do just that, it's called Lonofi. They are currently in open Beta test and you can check them out here on https://home.lonofi.com

It works sligtly differently than the other AI music website:instead of just choosing a style an pressing play to get random music, here you actually choose the sounds and instruments you want to hear, and an AI mix them together intelligently to create an ambiance that play forever without repeating itself.

Given it's AI, it's all royalty free. The download function isn't available now, but if you create a scene and want to download it, just ask the guys, they will let you do it for free at the moment (in exchange for a good review) .
I'll only chime in to say that the idea of when someone "joined social media" being an indicator for their language is a bit over simplistic, and won't hold up as a model over the test of time. Social circles and the development of culture is not a fixed thing. Nature vs nurture, and the rest.
Thank You! I thought I was the only one that hated the format of these things. Why not writing a proper article and linking it on Twitter? It would be way better

This would be a useful service. My first thought was “use something like mechanical turk”.

That lead into what I believe is the harder problem which is that in order to provide a useful text summary of articles of any topic is that you need to have people who understand the article content.

To make a summary service which is useful, we would need to have “summarizers” who can not only understand a myriad of topics but also possess a deeper understanding of the article domain so the summary is a faithful “distillation” of the original. As we all know, this is not easy, unless you have some expertise in that particular field.

This sort of reminds me of on demand translating services. In a past life I had the need to use translators for technical and legal documents. There were services that offered translators who specialize in certain areas, such as law or technical software writing, for example.
Which information? The server is then not reproducing/transmitting/redistributing the content, only indices into the content. I don't see why this would be copyright infringement.
Ask HN: Where can I find unbiased research on data-driven adtech effectiveness
I sit on the side of the fence that says a blanket "NO" to all ads because I just don't trust the players in the game to have my interests AT ALL!

I also believe that the data-drive adtech business is a con: I currently don't believe that the mass-data vacuuming moves the needle enough to justify the levels of collection and that everything I hear in defence of it is from those with a vested interest in keeping the status quo.

Can anyone link me to unbiased research on the subject? By this I mean research that isn't funded by adtech companies or those that benefit from data collection at scale to sell ads or ad-related tech. Especially something that compares it to contextual ads, e.g. reading a review of the latest Flymo and the blogger has an ad for 10% off at the top of the article... no tracking, perhaps just a unique URL or something.

This may not exist. I hope it does!

I want to read reasoned, unbiased reports to see if there is any truth to it and am willing to change my mind: I still won't give up Ublock Origin though... it's still my data.
Yeah, anything targeted only at men is obviously 100% sexism.

For example, dresses don't come in men sizes either. Not like men can't wear dresses. There's really no reason for that other than sexism.

Also by the way, I'm not using sexism here to conduct random witch hunts and finger pointing at companies/people who obviously have zero interest in being sexist. Don't get the wrong idea.
Thanks. I was just chatting to my wife about your response and she was recollecting what some call centering prayer. There seems to be some comparison. I guess I do meditate and am mindful. There may just may be some cultural baggage with those words in Christendom.
This isn't math where one counter-example totally disproves a theorem. People are just 'far more likely' (as per the article's words) to have these traits and perform well under pressure for the best outcome.

the content

Parts of it. Google does the same in their search results. The user can even decide which parts, because they show you the part that contains the search term.

So they provide a service that includes storing your content in it's entirety.

Has this ever been tested in court?
I disagree with the focus on the work part as useful - due to the focus of society. A high majority of human effort and focused work is non-useful to a singular goal of evolving humanity, and therefore not fulfilling. Repurposing a society solely built around evolving humanity - where each person's individual actions contribute to a collective improvement would solve this issue.
Similar to you I find that I can become interested in just about any task. At the end of the day I enjoy solving problems, and so I turn a task into a problem-to-be-solved. That can include finding ways to automate boring/repetitive tasks.

I have mixed feelings about the people component. Many of the people I work with are smart, focused, rational and personable. I look forward to meetings with them. What I struggle with is all of the 'overhead' of the work. The time spent discussing, rationalizing, prioritizing, justifying. It saps a lot of the enjoyment out of the work.

I'm trying to figure out how to turn that into a problem-to-be-solved.
Being able to code switch is important for many people. For example, the way I speak to my parents, my friends, the queer community, coworkers, and online are very different.

Language is a ingroup signifier. If you know the lingo, you will be more respected in that community.

You do have to keep up a bit, but maintaining in group status can make a lot of social interactions easier.
Thanks, I hate it.

Maybe there are better (& more sustainable ways) to adapt to heat? Say, wearing different clothes?
> As I was reading this chapter of Because Internet, Joe Biden announced his candidacy on Twitter. The tweet read: “The core values of this nation . . . our standing in the world . . . our very democracy . . . everything that has made America—America—is at stake. That’s why today I’m announcing my candidacy for President of the United States. #Joe2020.” Those pauses! So pregnant, so stressful, so Semi Internet, I thought. More likely, it signaled the perilous record-skips in Biden’s own thought. As if we didn’t already know, this message was targeted at a certain demographic of Pre or Semi Internet people.

I disagree that this is part of the evolution of internet speak. This is not lol vs LOL. I have done a fair bit of low level editing. The ellipse for pause is a generational thing that older (gray hair) types use who are otherwise bad at grammar. Commas work here, but I think it would be more internet-like to use whitespace like a newline or a gif to create tension and cadence.
That is the same argument Poland throws at Germany to justify the huge amounts of coal it uses and has little plans to reduce. At some point one has to ask at what cost the growth is justifiable and if dumping the same efforts into renewable technology isn't going to pay more dividends in the future when the world has moved on
My wife and I went on cruises every year for more than 10 years starting mid-90's. At the time, it was more relaxing (with less to do) and gave the opportunity to disconnect. We liked to dress up for dinner and sit with the same (random) people for the entire time of the cruise. Internet was as outrageous of a cost as a phone call at the time so where I worked doing software engineering, I told them to call me anytime! Perfect, the never did... and as a plus we got to visit many ports of call to see what we would like to go back to for longer (taste of different places to decide if we would mesh for a whole week there). Shopping was fine if you take the time to bargain and know your market prices before you go. Tourist traps are still traps at land or at sea... keep your guard up on vacation either way.

Our last cruise was not the same. Lots of fun stuff to do (which we can't complain about trying a few with super long waits). Wifi everywhere (who needs phone calls) to keep in touch with work ALL the time. Random people every meal time at dinner who never dress up (unless you include polo shirts and shorts as dressed up). Basically, for us it did lose appeal to try it. So, for some this is exactly what they want, but lost its luster and special experience.

Advice - pick a cruse line that matches your preferences (kids, no-kids, party, no-party, luxury, casual, etc) and you probably would have a good time.

It's called "short selling" because you sold it, and no longer own it. Also, in economics and finance, the term "investment" almost always refers to an asset in which you have long exposure.
Thanks. I like your point how some diversity practice can be counter productive. I often observe incidents were people become more polarised in the name of diversity. Back to front really.
Is this really burnout, or just overheating?

To me burnout is more the psychological state of "why am I even doing this anymore?", loss of enthusiasm, perhaps even some degree of despondency and hopelessness about the future, etc.

This seems more like just temporary over-exertion, under-nutrition/exercise/etc, which can be fixed with a lazy holiday, safe in the knowledge that all those Slack shares are vesting.

> It's not even your operating system, or computer. You can't do anything you want with them. For BSD, you have to keep the copyright, for Linux, you have to redistribute the source if you redistribute the binary, and for Windows you can't really do anything.

That is clearly not what the author meant. The author means that pay-once software or free software, you can download it to your computer, then go live in a hut, and can do whatever you want there, with no restrictions being imposed on you from the software license. The restrictions only come about when you want to distribute (optionally modified) binaries or source code.

With subscription software, the restrictions come about even when you are in your hut, and you have to continue paying the software creator even if you are not interested in getting updates or using their cloud service (assuming it's possible for you to even run the software without connecting to their cloud service).

I am not saying anything about whether the latter is a just business model or, but your quoted point is definitely invalid.

There are euro hedged S&P 500 ETFs. One of them is this:

But, if I may ask. What is the specific reason you don't want currency risk? The dollar has maintained it's strength since the recession and if there's a currency pair where one might not need to hedge, it would be USD/EUR.
Not sure about learning to swim with fins. Haven't used them for ages, but from what I remember, you just cannot move your hands fast enough to match the speed you can get with fins. What I used to as a teen just be on my back and go full-speed.
One thing that terrible link fails to note is that they're comparing a supersized cruise ship to a transoceanic liner.

For a modern transoceanic liner, look at the RMS Queen Mary 2: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Queen_Mary_2

Cruise ships are just mobile enough to scoot around whatever close-shore locales they serve.

Ocean liners are built for fast transoceanic voyages.

It's a sans-serif typeface (called "gothic" typeface in Japanese), which is commonly used for signs, and stroke order/direction isn't so visible without serifs. But the design still implies stroke order in some cases, e.g. with round corners suggesting a single stroke, and sharp corners suggesting two strokes. Some of the signs are written in "round gothic" style where this distinction is dropped, but round gothic is still a normal style.

The strong alignment of the strokes to a grid is somewhat unusual, and the article explains how it's a result of the production technique. It's a good example of technical limitations fostering creativity. It reminds me of pixel art, where limited resolution forced development of new techniques that ended up being aesthetically appealing in their own right. The need to make clearly legible signs with limited equipment in a busy train station produced a distinctive style that wouldn't have happened without these constraints.

I am currently tasked by an Adtech company with writing something similar, HTTP(S) MITM and content injection/replacement, remote C&C server communication, etc.

I feel pretty bad about it and told them straight ahead that what they do is illegal. They know and there is no single written proof outlining requirements etc. Just took it b/c I need the money.
I definitely understand that viewpoint (China and other Asian countries say similar things). And specifically for Asia, much of that pollution is technically originating in the west, we’ve just outsourced a lot of our pollution to Asian countries.

The environmental impact of industrialization needs to be built into the cost of goods. Capitalism can solve many of these problems, but right now pollution practically has no associated cost to the end price, which is why we use the cheapest materials that cannot be recycled.

America needs to change dramatically before we can make substantial progress here; we can be the world leader in this issue. But I guess I’m not that optimistic considering the politics right now.
I would recommend to try and to be bored for a few hours. You might be surprised.
Lambda is absolutely essential for glueing together Amazon services and many Amazon articles recommend it (for instance, getting your ASG to drain ECS instances before scaling down). It's also helpful for building alerting/monitoring workflows since Cloudwatch/SNS is pretty simplistic on its own

I think the sentiment is more "don't build your entire app on lambda"
Why not just use Linode or Digital Ocean at this point?
Hacker news is not a good place to get legal advice. Best to ignore anyone offering it. Talk to a lawyer for legal advice.
It's not quite the same if you pay for groceries with your own money (cash) instead of having some giant corp. promise to pay the grocer in a couple days (credit card).

Plus I wouldn't want to support any store that didn't have at least a couple real check-out lanes.
It is unfortunate that they are locking down choices so early, before anybody has enough experience to know if they are right; and we know some are wrong.

I was astonished that they didn't consider bitwise anything -- including rotate and popcount -- worth bothering about. It is sad they settled on 1, not ~0 for their bool true value, in the ABI. Do they even have short load-immediate -1, 0, and 1 instructions?

Micro-op fusion is great, but only if you can keep your instruction decoder sated.
