It's extremely challenging to envision the path not taken. Even in cases where you can, it's more challenging still to effectively communicate the other path and that you are, in fact, correct.

I don't know that the world would be a better place had we not done x, y or z. When people decry a thing, they routinely focus on the harm it has done without accounting for the good it did.

Maybe the path not taken is far worse than the problems we currently struggle with.

They built wells in India and Bangladesh, iirc. The intent was to stop a quarter of a million deaths annually from contaminated surface waters, such as collected rainwater.

Some of the wells caused arsenic poisoning. The scale of this new disaster was compared to Chernobyl and pronounced worse than that.

This comparison largely ignored the millions of lives already saved by the wells.

We solve a problem. We find some new bug in the system. We iterate.

That's how progress works.
The Guardian article mentions that hotels have to wait up to 3 months to be paid by the holiday company. I can see why the Tunisian hotel did what they did, but you are correct that their business relationship is with Thomas Cook, not the holidaymakers.

Meanwhile, Thomas Cook holidaymakers were anxious that they might be evicted from their hotels or charged again for their holidays. Holiday companies do not normally pay hotels until up to 90 days after guests have left.

Do hotels typically have insurance that covers situations like this?

The gift card market just confuses me. Especially when it's people giving gifts to people (not corporate gifts), cash is something that has at least as much value as the gift card, is accept everywhere, isn't a liability on a balance sheet, and is easier to give.

Ask HN: Best Email Provider for LKML?
So I send the casual patch every now and then to the LKML (I am subscribed to linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org).

I also like to read what others send from time to time.

I've been subscribed since 2013 to the LKML and yesterday my gmail reached 99.9% of use, unfortunately I found that gmail does not let me delete all of the emails in my linux-kernel label all at once.

I had to delete them in batches of 100 (which takes forever), after that I found I could use date ranges, but it was just as slow.

I had about ~680k emails from the linux kernel mailing list that I had to delete.

I was wondering if anyone here knows of a good alternative (another provider) or a better way to manage large amount of emails, I would like to know your suggestions.

LKML is the Linux kernel mailing list and it's very high in traffic.

Thanks in advance.
I was trying to figure this out too, other reputable sources cite 600k as well.

The article talks about interrupters, but I think it confuses two types of them: People who interrupt to say their piece, and people who interrupt to complete the other person’s sentence.

Both are annoying, but people who complete others’ sentences are IMO worse: it’s a way of showing that you don’t care what the other person thinks, especially when the interrupter guesses wrong and the speaker has to out-talk them in order to get their actual words in.
Honestly, He sounds pretty typical for a lot of late 50s early 60 years old programmers I know. Their relationships with machines has been very different, as has their relationship to the world.

> However, technically, google haven't proved yet quantum supremacy

To be absolutely clear, an experiment (or a set of replicated experiments) can't prove quantum supremacy. Quantum supremacy is a statement about about the asymptotic behavior of quantum and classical computers, and obviously, a finite set of data points cannot prove anything about asymptotes.

What these experiments are doing are gathering evidence against the extended Church-Turing thesis - in the same way other experiments are used to gather evidence in favor of/against general relativity or some other physical theory.

The proof of quantum supremacy within the framework of the currently accepted laws of physics (quantum theory), has to be a mathematical proof. Currently, we have no idea how to construct such a proof.
There is something much more charming and interesting about KeyPOS. Not that one is better than the other, or more up-to-date, but... KeyPOS is written in QBASIC, looks like it's from the 90s (it is), and the author is self-deprecating but not so much that it's annoying.

... plus it's not making you install a web server and isn't an Electron app. I thought we all collectively hated Electron.

> CORE is primarily a web-based, PHP+MySQL application. There are a few C# pieces most of which are Mono-compatible.

> This is an ElectronJS based app that turns CORE's lane into a desktop app. Apache, MySQL, etc are all still required. This app just takes the place of the web browser. Why?
Hmm, I’d be careful with this sort of behavior. Not letting people leave is the definition of kidnapping and I can’t think of any jurisdiction that doesn’t look dimly upon it.
I'm well aware of the phenomenon but it is not the kind of interruption I'm talking about.

To be clear, I'm talking about men-interrupting-men-and-women-because-they-are-interrupters vs women-interrupting-men-and-women-because-they-are-interrupters, and not men-interrupting-women-because-they-are-sexist. The context of the article is the former, clearly.

Also, I don't consider "is there any reason to think" to be confrontational.

This article reinforces the idea that Snowden is a delusional narcissist. He makes this absurd leap from being a technology expert to taking it upon himself to betray his oath and his country.

It's part of a huge F--- Y-- from Edward Snowden to the NSA, to America, to the people who actually maintain their lifelong oath.

I’ve been battling pretty severe RSI for a couple of years now. My unscientific and anecdotal couple of cents:

- Get an arm roller and use it regularly to massage and stretch your tendons

- Keep warm. Wear a sweatshirt while typing. My RSI flares when my arms become cold. I suspect it’s because of the generic tightening of muscles with temperature

- As odd as it seems, weightlifting seems to really help

- Use a mouse, but alternate hands regularly to give your clicking muscles a break. This one may take some practice

- Wear wrist braces while sleeping. I found out pretty late that I was sleeping while putting some weird pressures on my wrists and hands. I rarely wake up with pain in the mornings now

- Spend less time messing around on your phone. It’s never as bad as using a full computer, but it’s certainly less productive

- Work less. Your health isn’t worth it

You're on to something when talking about consistency and following design language. Building a good UI takes skill and thought into making the design intuitive enough that if it comes to it, anyone can figure it out.

> Economics 101 says just the opposite, that you create inefficiencies when you don’t specialize.

That's simply bullshit. If you specialize on only installing tires on cars, but not removing them, you have specialized more than a business that swaps your tires, but you have created massive inefficiency by requiring your customers to somehow move around vehicles without tires for you to install tires for them.

There are particular circumstances where specialization increases efficiency, and there are (obviously) other circumstances where specialization decreases efficiency, so it's nonsensical to just say that specializing is always the more efficient choice, which is why all your analogies fail: You use an example where specialization (arguably) increases efficiency, then you completely fail to explain how computer skills fall into the same category as that example, and then you conclude that therefore it is in the same category.

Zero-gravity chair, monitor high and tilted down (wall mount 55" 4k TV works great.) Keyboard and roller mouse free 2 stuck to a cutting board for typing/mousing in lap. 1 ergodox per a arm rest was a fun experiment (Learning to type on them slowed my normal typing from 116 down to 108wpm forever :( ) Suggest you stay on normal keyboard layout with better hand posture. Especially if you ever need to use a laptop. Google split keyboard and you'll find lots of options. I did a review on youtube of the Kinesys Advantage split/sculpted keyboard.

Thanks for your comment. I am the author of sshr.

The biggest difference between cea-hpc/sshproxy and sshr is that the developer using sshr can freely incorporate own hook functions that dynamically determines the destination host.
Thanks to the hook function, we can manage the information of destination host in the free data format, such as database or yaml file and so on, although sshproxy forces us to manage the information by etcd.

Of course, sshproxy seems to have some great features that sshr doesn't have.
Thank you for teaching me a great solution!
It’s not a subsidy; the companies which sell package holidays need to put the cash up.

The assumption is that there is a set of laws of physics which are consistent with our observations, that are the same across space, that do not vary with time, and that all phenomena in the universe are ultimately caused by these laws.

Whether these are the laws of nature, the laws of a simulation, or the laws of some Gods playing around, it makes no difference.

Unfortunately, without these assumptions it is impossible to have any kind of scientific knowledge - if we can't assume that the sun rising for the last hundred thousand years means it will rise again tomorrow, or if we don't assume that the universe extends in the past as well as the future, there is nothing meaningful to study.

Note: the laws of physics I am talking about above could be very different from what we know today - just as QM and Relativity are to Newtonian physics - but that would not change the assumptions I'm talking about.
Interrupting in conversation is not inherently “boorish”, or inherently male.

But there’s obviously a big difference between interrupting someone in the middle of a large formal work meeting in front of an assortment of colleagues vs. interrupting someone in the middle of a small collaborative technical discussion in a closely-knit team. The former is often more about demonstrating perceived social superiority rather than guiding a conversation, and such behavior is boorish.
Hire fast doesn't mean no coding interviews. There can probably be 1-2 coding challenges, but the whole process shouldn't take more than a few hours total. They should be just hard enough for an experienced dev to pass without having to study, but it should filter out the people who spend all their time studying and yet can't build things. What happened to the days we were happy with FizzBuzz as a filter?

I just think there's a lot of waste going from 90% confidence to 95% confidence.
>for the base levels local variables.

what does that even mean? Sure you could calculate what stacksize your exact programm would need at maximum, if you unroll everything, but you could not define a fixed "base level" of a stacksize for every single programm out there, could you?

Tbh, i haven't changed entirely, because we have a startup, and my opinion is that strong civility is not always the most effective communication pattern when stuff needs to get done now. Strong civility works great where you have longer term plans and people who stick to them and resources. Startups don't have much of that.
