I'd argue it's actually easier to cope when what you need is repetitive hard physical labor.

You don't go to sleep thinking about that big problem you still haven't solved. You actually get the satisfaction of doing the physical activity. You know with certainty that you've done your job (you can actually see it) and you know when to stop because your body will tell you to. Finally, you might be exhausted physically at the end of the day, but your mind is definitely not exhausted, which allows you to actually do something with it afterwards.

On the other hand with mental work, mostly you can't stop thinking about work unless you distract yourself. Many times you don't see the outcome of what you did and it's pretty easy to think you haven't actually "done" anything.

Another thing I'd say is that with farming (and other manual labor activities) there is very little that is not known beforehand. You might have some unexpected events, but even then, you likely know what to do in those occasions. With mental work it's a lot more unpredictable and full of unknowns.

Having said all that, I've never had the opportunity to work with physical labor so my views are likely biased.
From what I see, your value proposition is both to bug bounty hunters and to companies who see a value in having Hackerone manage their bug bounty program.

This effect (no matter the cause) of incident is about the worst thing that could happen to a company whose value proposition is that. It's like the bad old days where companies would legally threaten you if you found a bug, and from an outside perspective, Hackerone seems to promote it.

If I were an ethical hacker, I'd think twice before using your bug bounty program for fear of that treatment.

If I were a potential customer (or even a current customer), I don't know if I'd want to be associated with a company that tolerates veiled threats against ethical hackers.

Edit: I should add from this, it actually looks like its Hackerone making the veiled legal threat:

It seems like Firefox is trying to be helpful. They show the content for a dead project ("Support the sites you love, avoid the ads you hate ..." ) with a header explaining that "This study is no longer active. Thank you for your participation." That's arguably much better than an enigmatic 404 error.
>>> One cannot coercively distort the market with government power and expect that life will not, "uh, uh, find a way."

Incorrect. Taxation has proven to be a very effective way to incentivize certain behaviors and disincentivize others. It's a very powerful tool to deal with many types of problems that typically ail free markets, such as tragedy of the commons.
While many athletes do work hard, it is one thing to work hard when you are well fed and another when you are starving.

I have done both hard physical and keyboard tapping jobs in my life and I have no wish to go back to doing hard labor.
Not really. Rust supports 8 bit microcontrollers. Lot's of libraries, including parts of the standard library make no sense on these kind of platforms.

The standard library and 3rd party crates generally have excellent compatibility across mainstream platforms.
The lenders themselves spend a lot of effort on making sure that the credit ratings are good signals.

When your business is extending credit (typically very low margin) you walk a very fine line between being overly permissive in lending and not lending enough. Minor movements of that line can be the difference between profitability and not.

If a ratings agencies algorithm was shown to be changing to be too aggressive (either historically or against its peers) the lenders will dial back its importance in their own decisions. In the extreme to the point of not paying for it anymore.

This internal competition does a pretty good job of making sure the algos represent the current state of the world.

There is a question of about this system causing future systemic risk to be underpriced because no one is incentivized to investigate it fully and add it to their algorithm.
I think we're all getting comfortable with the idea that humans are now regularly ingesting and breathing microplastic particulate matter, AND that we're not dying from the chemical accumulation of these particles.

But that doesn't negate what marine biologists are pointing out with more urgency: that at the smallest end of the food chain, these particulates are being mistaken as food, with consequences yet unknown.

That seemed to be where the author really diverges from Joe. Joe's not going to give a holistic view (I think the author would agree), just usually a positive one. But the author didn't really make a great case for why this sort of absolute negativism, zero tolerance for 'bad', is any better than what Joe's presenting. He's definitely not pretending to be 60 Minutes.

FWIW I just recently started listening to JRE, and I kind of agree with the author at the end in that I'll probably skip the Jones episodes.

Private Competition vs. Public Monetary Monopolies
To me embodiment is important because it acts as the root in the hierarchy of reference frames from which you can model the real world. So whether or not the body has a particular set of physical capabilities isn't as important as the relationship it has with the rest of the world around it.
Another result of this is that the Army Corps of Engineers maintains some pretty nice recreational facilities along the waterways they manage.

Which is fine. Not everything needs SecureRandom. I'd wager more code using random numbers is for A/B tests, sample data generation or video games than people implementing crypto.

I get that security people don't want non-secure RNGs to exist out of fear that someone might try implement security related functions out of them but why should I care if I just want to choose between 3 types of enemies this wave?

"That's exactly why people still buy Apple hardware at all anymore - their friends/peers already have them. It's surely not due to superiority by any metric for the price point."

I challenge this assumption. The iPad Pro is by far the best computing device for a certain subset of the market, not to mention the extremely fast Apple-made CPU. The Apple ecosystem is also leading in some of their features. And privacy-wise they are a step ahead of their competitors.

> Jeff needs a good art director.

Nah. I mean, I want Jeff to have a good art director because I find the visuals distracting and a bit unpleasant part of games I otherwise might enjoy, but it's pretty clear he doesn't need one.
Haha I love how 90% of the comments are from just exactly the same people who he wrote this blog post for, and they still make the same points again :D

I have an indie game myself (Skyturns on G Play) and if you are not an artist, making good art is simply really hard. Someone says ”this menu is ugly”, and the cognitive load of making it meet their expectations is massive.

I even have graphically skilled people critiquing my game, paying them, but then coming back with more ugly menus. A real skilled professional art director is hard to find, recruit and motivate.

On a small scale its a ton of freedom to just let your game be somewhat ugly and just focus on what you yourself is great at.

For all the 1000 opinions I’ve heard about my games menus, not one of these people have produced something better. That 1001st person who actually knows drawing, colors and UX is the professional art director, which is possible to find, but the energy required to find him/her and pay is also something that can go somewhere else!
I'm not sure if you realize this, but your response comes off as gatekeeping.
Helen Keller is a better example. It is also the case, however, that her brain, like anyone's, had been shaped, through evolution, by eons of interaction with the environment.

For immediate release.

CERN is proud to announce it will resume LHC operations shortly after a major system sensitivity upgrade and is poised to launch a new set of tests on behalf of their corporate donors.

This year marks the first time scientists will seek proof of the (not-yet-)theorized “anti-second”.

According to the head of the program, Dr. Ismadeup:

“When the efforts of our labors are successful, the rules of physics will fundamentally change! This discovery will allow corporate taskmasters and mindful spouses to extract even more productivity from those under their sway.”

Athletic organizations, alcohol distributors, and adult media companies are eagerly awaiting the commercialization of any resulting technological enhancements derived from the research.
It is the cover up - not the crime essentially. China shuts down stock markets when they come up with shared dates to Tiananmen Square. The US teaches it in textbooks and acknowledges impacts like radicalizing domestic terrorism groups. If not for premature detonation of an apartment it would have lead to another school massacre of a ROTC in retaliation.
It seems a wrong conflation of Libertarianism and Anarchism.

I already pointed you to one of Allende’s chief advisors identifying Friedman as providing the direct, ideological grounding for the Chilean coup, so I’m not sure what more evidence you want.
What Friedman said in his speeches and wrote in books is not the sum total of his work and ideology. There’s also what he did, who he allied himself with, etc. He was remarkably consistent in denouncing his detractors as part of a “communist conspiracy,” while at the same time being remarkably callous about things like the apartheid regime in South Africa and the Tiennamen Square massacre. So I find appeals to him as some undaunted supporter of “freedom” specious at best.

My last child moves out (to college) next week. We'll see. It's been pretty cool raising them, and now that they are young men it's fun and hilarious to get them all together.

There was a legitimate reason for that. And calling any group "a curious bunch of people" has weird implications.
Your planning system is bad. This was the original origin of using story points instead of days, because the designers of extreme programming found that the work of 1 "ideal day" (8 hours of uninterrupted productive coding) could be done in about 3 days.

And don't get me started on measuring velocity, especially across teams. Your environment sounds like its poisoned by middle management.
Another phenomenon that makes most programmers unable to achieve flow state is technology diversity - brain can get into flow state only when one is using familiar tools - and than happens rarely, at least for me (I work on a project for 6-12 months and ten move to other and tools and main technologies aren't chosen by me usually).
UK Army engineers have generic responsibility to provide Military Assistance to the Civil Authority (e.g. building emergency bridges after a flood) but are not funded or resourced to conduct general civil engineering. REME are focussed on maintaining the Army’s vehicle fleet.
And it reads like and excuse to himself, which is probably the reason for the reaction on HN. A bit like a film maker who says: "If only I had the budget, Hollywood has, I could totally do better films than them".

Don't get me wrong, good art doesn't necessarily need a lot of money or resources. It needs the right eyes that know when it works and when it doesn't. He seems to aknowledge he doesn't have them and explains why he can't hire someone, all perfectly fine. But also sad, because if he could he clearly would.
We live in a global economy now. Like a billion people have been raised out of abject poverty. It's an absolute falsehood that only the top earners have prospered. The middle class is shrinking in the US, because they're moving up. We brought in millions and millions of foreign workers from impoverished countries, did their wages remain stagnant?
Is there a package-lock.json checked in? If you can get the earliest version you may be able to find the versions there.
I think you achieve a lot being really productive for 3 hours and it's kind of difficult to increase that amount because your brain is used to that amount already. It's pretty good if you can put another maybe 1-2 hours of study into it. I find exercising helps me to enter the flow more quickly, but not necessarily INCREASE the time. The total amount is probably defined by genes and health condition in general. I see people who can be high productive for 6-7 hours WITHOUT stop back in high school but that's rare.
You’re cherry picking and responding to the example. The broader point is this, and in my experience as a (male) parent it’s true:

> Talking about who got "hit hardest" is kind of pointless. Society expectation on fathers and mothers are formed from restricted gender roles. There are both women and men that feel extremely restricted from this.

And who are the lenders?

Aren't the lenders your citizens? You would argue that they are the big banks. Ok but who works there? Your citizens? And yes the pay taxes.

I've worked those jobs when I was younger - none of those people would feel any shame quitting for a better job so I'm not sure what your argument is.
Some people grow. Others dump almost everything on their spouse and a deep resentment grows in the marriage. You envy the good times they have and the stories they have, but not their life as there is obviously a lot a pain at home. Kudos to you, it sounds like you are doing it right. Hang in there.
Well, as I don't have spectroscopic eyes to identify the nature of the polymers I have in my hand as I make a choice between bins. And the fact that plastic is a rather broad term combined with the vague communication, I'm going to keep doing this as do many others. So I just hope innovators will find ways to separate better.

‘The Intelligence Trap’ Review: How Smart Is Too Smart?

It's certainly something I'd love to trial. I think most people probably look at their take home pay and imagine that taking 20% off of that figure would be a big cut. In the UK at least, as a higher-rate tax payer (40% tax) it wouldn't be nearly as bad as that seems.

At the moment we're looking at nursery for our 7 month old 2 days per week. If instead I could work 4 days a week it would be a wash financially. I'd get the benefits of spending more time with her but obviously looking after a < 1 year old isn't 'a day off' by any stretch.

Hello, here is an explanation and analysis of this rest-client backdoor:
https://application.security/ruby-backdoor
There are those on the right that think over a million of illegal votes happen (based on estimates of number of illegal aliens, surveys of if they vote, lack of voter ID in certain states, etc.)

The current system is resistant to these concerns, so the lack of a nation-wide voter ID is less important than it would be with a national popular vote.
In Python, if you're running 3.7.1 then you're also running the standard library for 3.7.1. Sure, I guess it would be possible for a programming language to decouple these things so that it's possible to ask for a particular version of the standard library (in its entirety), or a particular version of a standard library... but then programmers can no longer rely on the standard library to "just work" and "just be there", which is its appeal. If you decouple the standard library from the language, might as well switch to a Rust-like system where you simply give an official stamp of approval to certain packages regardless of who developed them.
What you get is multiple bound variables. Using only map and filter it would be harder to do i.e.:

[(x*y) for x in range(0,5) for y in range(0,x)]

The fact that you identify "that typical windows 95 style game" as being a thing implies that it is a style, whether or not you like the style. Building games that look like that today is just a specific kind of retro.

The screenshots of John's games make me feel nostalgic in the same way that I'm sure NES and Arcade style games make 80s kids feel nostalgic. The Windows 95 style is retro now, even if it still feels current to us!
> Autism rates are stable, and only appear to be increasing due to better diagnosis.

Citation?

"Several large studies have suggested that autism rates have risen steadily in the last 20 years, but this new report suggests that rates may be leveling off. The ADDM Network’s estimated rates also plateaued between 2010 and 2012 (after increasing roughly 123% between 2002 and 2010), but then jumped 30% from 2012 to 2014."

The paper goes on to mention both measurement and environmental factors as potential causes.
Unfortunately, the mid-noughts vintage of this page is showing. After about 2010, productivity growth has not kept up with the page's 1.7% estimate (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/fredgraph.png?g=oGgn).

Also, this page neglects the influence of heterogeneous productivity changes. Some fields don't experience the same kind of productivity growth that we've seen in manufacturing (and services aided by technology); for example a doctor now is not seeing four times as many patients as a doctor in 1940. A barber now is not cutting the hair of four people at once.

You can't productivity-gain your way out of the costs of dedicated attention from individuals.
So do Basic, Ada, Pascal, C and C++ as well, and yet they have richer standard libraries, with deployment profiles.
This is really interesting, but note the power increase seen inside the DRAM modules.

Anandtech have an excellent analysis: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14750/hot-chips-31-analysis-i...

> The operation itself [inside the dram module] actually requires 2x the power (20 pJ compared to 10 pJ [inside the main CPU]), but the overall gain in power efficiency is 170 pJ vs 3010 pJ, or just under 20x

> One thing that this slide states that might be confusing is the server power consumption – the regular server is listed as only 300W, but the PIM solution is up to 700W. This is because the power-per-DRAM module would increase under UPMEM’s solution.

I'm assuming that those numbers represent "peak" power, and that when idle the compute parts of the DRAM can be power/clock gated. The implication being that if you are doing lots of in-memory analytics, you'll get a power saving, but if you switch to "something else" and don't get good utilisation of the in-memory compute, you'll probably ruin your power/energy efficiency.

I guess that means the future improvements will involve bringing the power consumption of the modified DRAM modules back in line with their "normal" cousins.
