You sound exactly like how I felt before seeing a doctor about my insomnia.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest just seeing a doctor, and asking for something that will help you sleep. I was given 50mg Trazodone, and I feel like it's saved my life. It's not a controlled substance, so doctors and nurse practitioners hand it out like candy.

Now I get 8 hours of sleep a night, and most of the research I've dug up indicates it doesn't mess with your sleep architecture. There were some nasty side effects my first few weeks, but they seem to have faded over time.

I spent months and months obsessively reading everything I could about how to improve my sleep. Tried it all. Tried every OTC supplement even rumored to improve sleep. Nothing helped. And the more time I spent stressing about it, the worse it got. By the time I saw a doctor I'd probably gone two weeks straight averaging 2-3 hours of sleep a night. I felt like a shell of a human being.

Just asking for a pill might seem like an unhealthy cop out to some, but the improvement in my quality of life since doing so has been immeasurable since doing do.
I mostly agree although I also think a lot of businesses think they are a lot snowflake-ier than they actually are.

But in my experience, smaller businesses can actually be worse offenders in this regard. Large enterprises actually do have a lot of complex needs and even relatively small changes affect a lot of people. But I've had someone at a very small company argue with me that they needed their own Exchange server because Gmail (at the time) didn't have some features like sub-labels/folders that they were used to.

Yeah, like looking for perpetual movement or the philosopher stone.

BTW, I should have worded my thoughts differently: I don't mind if individual people waste their time doing that kind of pseudo-science.

I do mind however that these studies get fundings instead of more down-to-earth ones. I do mind when young researchers are driven to this kind of bs by perverse insentives. And I do mind when laypersons are taught by mainstream media that this is science.
yeah, no. unless you're an ios developer
Yea, a coworking space with tech company polish, marketed to tech companies seems like it could easily win the market. It's a much smaller market and the valuation math is different, but I don't see why the business couldn't work.

Great tips overall, thank you all. I might add getting familiar with CBT-I (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia). I was struggling for months with sleep and this was a life saviour.
I learned to drive at ~24. I think I did 10-12 hours of lessons before I took a test. The driving instructor was cool with showing up at 7am or some time like that and doing an hour of lessons before I had to leave for work. They were also relieved to be teaching an adult (relatively speaking).
If you are young and able to focus anywhere, then I guess that's better.

But possibly there is myopia and presbyopia (age related farsightedness) interaction.

"Many people with near-sightedness can read comfortably without eyeglasses or contact lenses even after age forty."

"Presbyopia is the result of age-related hardening of the natural lens. Everybody has this happen and it gets bad enough we can’t ignore the resulting near vision problem by about age 45.
The one good thing about being near-sighted is that the large eyeball means the default focal point of the myopic Eye is up close, depending on how nearsighted you are. So if myopic, without glasses you can see up close without needing to work at it."
This appears to be the website of a Michigan State University physics lab. Assuming a random writer on the lab's blog designed the site seems a bit unreasonable. It's also unlikely a professional designer has ever touched this site, so...yeah, it's a bit unprofessional. I'm sure most of us would make embarrassing mistakes if we had to do something outside of our field of expertise and then subjected it to critique.

I think there's a valid point to be made that they should put more effort into accessibility, but trying to say a writer's science is suspect because the lab's graphic design is bad is just unreasonable IMO.
It's not _just_ a different point of view though. It's Turkish propaganda and even includes a "hordes of others" reference which comes from an ultra-nationalist viewpoint that is incompatible with modern values.

Furthermore, no one is censoring them beyond their comment getting a bit more gray, downvotes are not the end of the world. We don't need a community of people justifying massacres because they're scared of retaliations from the same foreigners they're subjecting to brutal oppression.

these loyalty types seem to suffer from classic irrational doubling-down syndrome where because the US made various mistakes in the past, we must atone for them by supporting our "allies" (often complicated, not-so-nice groups who contribute to regional instability even more once armed with latest US gadgets) in perpetuity. after all, what's a couple more military outposts given 100s already exist across the world?

the best time to bring all US troops home was 74 years ago. the second best time is today. perpetual atonement for mistakes made in the past is really just air cover for maintain tentacles across the world, which are tantalizingly useful for continued regime change/provocation/etc.

One example of this that I know of happened with a graphics discovery on one of my childhood 8-bit computers; that discovery, had it been known more widely, might have made a greater impact within the community at that time. But while it was known then, it was at the wrong time and was published in the wrong magazine. Ultimately what doomed it was likely the fact that the transition from "home computers" to "PC revolution" occurred. So the discovery had to wait - and it was "rediscovered" by retro enthusiasts of the platform (many of which were now "old hands" of the same machine - who had been publishers, business owners, programmers, etc - in the machine's heyday), about a decade ago. So it had to wait about 20 years or so.

I'd be interested in learning more about that, if I don't already know about it. Was it something to do with the C64?

It's pretty rare that I read a paper that has not at least given some thought to the types of obvious correlation/causation concerns that come up after just reading the title of the paper. That said I'm always interested in what comes up in discussion threads here, so I wouldn't want to shut off the skepticism.
Because both are just a political stances.

If it's okay for you to punish for one stance and not to punish for another then you are pro-censorship. So don't be surprised when companies start to censor people you like - you allowed them to do that.

> What is the simple diff content of a merge commit which solves a conflict between two parents? There isn't one, change my mind.

Treat it as a squash where the individual commits can be recovered. Git treats commits as left-biased, so the branch you're merging into will be the primary parent.
If "I have a lifetime of experience with this so thats how it should stay" was humanities criteria for accepting new technology we'd still be bashing the neighboring tribes heads in with rocks tied to sticks.
the article is paywalled, also, since I have plenty of experience in this field, I do not think my remarks were "accounted for", rather they probably wrote a couple hand-wavy sentences about how they corrected for SES, but didn't really.

Edit: found a copy of the paper that wasn't paywalled, read the whole thing, and found their attempts to correct for bias wanting (section 4.2).

" Overall, our heterogeneity results indicate the most important explanatory factor in the relationship between pollution and crime is age, and the
results are not ameliorated by higher incomes."

uh, ok. if you want to defend this paper go ahead but I've already read enough to know these folks started with a biased belief, carelessly analzyed the data in a way that supported their beliefs, and escalated the results into something that sounded far more significant and certain than their data shows.
Agreed. It's impossible to have a reasonable discussion about an article that barely anybody can actually read.

> Shouldn't the bar for transfers be roughly the same as the bar for initial employment? As in, give the candidates a similar interview process as if they were coming outside of the company into that team? Why would a transfer be based on the current manager, who is already disincentivized to allow the employee to switch teams?

1. This allows internal transfers to avoid reinterviewing. I think many would agree that going through the same interview process is not productive, especially with the types of interview questions asked at FB (predominantly Leetcode style). This reflects FB's standard hiring process for engineers, where engineers are hired into a "general" pipeline and not to a specific team, with the implication that once they pass FB's interview, they are qualified to work on basically any team. The performance requirements are there so that engineers cannot just change teams every time they perform poorly.

2. I think the incentives are intended such that the very worst case for a manager is being forced to fire an employee for poor performance -- it means the manager was unable to help the employee improve their performance. Having them transfer within the company reflects much better on the manager. In practice, this may not be true in all situations.

In the general / common case, this system is great for engineers in terms of internal mobility.

I linked the wrong one. I'm very sure that with the introduction of the (USB-C only) MacBook Pro, they sold a hub with an upstream USB-C port, and four downstream USB-C ports. After some time, it wasn't available anymore.

It was bus-powered, so I'm pretty sure it was simply a bunch of USB-C ports that offered no more than USB 3.0 and that didn't support USB-PD.

Seriously. You can be talking about air pollution as CO2 or particulate or sulfur dioxide or a number of other things and which sort of pollution you're talking about makes a big difference in how polluting you should consider container ships to be. Also whether you're comparing tanker ships to other forms of freight or to overall pollution emissions or to the hunter gatherer lifestyle.
It is not Boeing vs airbus, it is the 737 vs all other modern airliners.

FBW on the 7x7 (for x>3) is not that different from Airbus airliners except Airbus has sidestick controls that are not mechanically connected whereas Boeings have jokes that are mechanically between the two pilots.

If Boeing used the same flight controls that they use on all post 1970 planes it would be ok, Airbus has nothing to do with it.

> The first feature is dynamic secrets: this generates an ephemeral, leased set of credentials that are unique per client.

Yes, thank you.

This is one of those features that once you've lived with it, you can't imagine going back. Essentially, every secret gets an automatic expiration date in the near future. This has several effects:

1. It teaches people to never hard-code secrets anywhere, because they always expire. So people will follow fairly strict credential-management rules out of sheer laziness.

2. It guarantees that you don't have stale secrets lying around in random corners of your company. So even if somebody does record a secret somewhere they shouldn't, the window of attack may only be a few hours.
I had the impression, after working in two big corps, often even the "IT people" working there don't know much about IT.

Sure, the people who run their data-centers often know their stuff, but "IT professionals" in their other depts are some business people with some extra IT training.

Often there is at least one person who doesn't know what they are doing, but doesn't say so. Which leads to bad decisions.

One is enough, because all the people who say "they don't know" will go to the ones who don't say it. Then you end up with some a whole bunch of subtle implementation details that are based on wrong decisions, but accumulated to one big mess.

Yeah, it's qualitatively the same problem. Just there is prior art for physical goods. And I put the "easy" in scare quotes for a reason! Good luck!
I am using the same device and it's also a clear recommendation from my side. Another plus to add is the support: When I called the support because I had these vertical stripes showing up in the panel from time to time, they sent a replacement mainboard and a technician who replaced it at my place in about an hour. I was 0 days without the device which is quite valuable if you are using it professionally, I'd say... This sort of support does of course not only apply to this exact model but I think it is constrained to the T and X series.

> The way these tools are developed is by doing and then replicating and analyzing these studies

Nobody in the field of people publishing this kind of studies has the required skill-set to develop the needed tools. This is the job of mathematicians. I'm not meaning it pejoratively, it's just a totally different job. (I wouldn't trust a mathematician to build a house, you shouldn't trust an economist, a biologist, or anyone to build statistics tooling).

> maybe thats what the intent behind "collecting and curating" was?)

Most of the time the data behind this kind of studies isn't easily available. Sometimes you can shoot an email to the author, sometimes it comes from some publicly available data needing a lot of preprocessing before being consumable, and I wish we had a centralized database of well-formed data.
Amazon Fire Cube
I have one of these as my work laptop. I agree, it's a lightweight powerful device and the Linux drivers worked perfectly in my experience (though I haven't asked much from the GPU).

I ended up getting a Lenovo Carbon X1 (6th gen) for my home laptop. It's even lighter, and again the Linux drivers are excellent.

I'd recommend either of these.

Why James Dyson Couldn't Keep His Electric Car Dream Alive
One interesting rule might be to keep people with a certain amount of money from meddling in politics. Like you track all the money, and rich people are not allowed to influence politics at all. That would destroy the strangle hold that various groups with a lot of money have on American or hell global politics. Trump should not be allowed to be President. There should be an inverse relationship between money and power. The more money you have, the less power you have to do anything political with that money.

Maybe like we make a new category of money that can only do certain things and is heavily regulated and watched. And that's the sort of money that you can have way up there in the clouds, you can't have regular people money which is the money we have right now.

That then would move the discussion from how much they have, to what they can do with it.
Your first sentence makes clear (again) that you think you're so smart that you can determine what research is potentially viable and what isn't, without even having any expertise in a given area.

And not only that but follows a well established pattern of (poor) accident investigations which look at the most proximate event to the accident (the pilots on the cockpit) and assigns the blame to that instead of focusing on systemic issues which are much greater contributors to the overall situation which led to the accident.

> I'd think public policy prevents liability from complying with a valid court order in any event.

Which public policy?

> shouldn't Apple be equally as liabile for making phones that the police can crack, even if they don't use Apple to crack them?

An enterprising lawyer can certainly find clients and file this lawsuit.

Are there any alternative explanations? Why do you think Apple fought the case? The owners of the device wanted the data extracted, but Apple refused. The FBI told Apple that Apple could keep the build that allows brute-forcing the pin code and never give it to anyone else, so it would be secured just as much as the key used to sign the system image. Apple was about to get huge egg on its face, and it simply distracted everybody by refusing to comply with a completely reasonable request while quietly changing their Privacy page. A company that truly cared about privacy would admit their slip up and offer a way for their customers to get a device that actually gave them the security that Apple had told them the devices they bought had.

Guys how do I paginate volatile ranking?
Since we're on hackernews anyone know how one paginate a volatile list of threads like on hackernews?

If the ranking score changes, mostly when a thread on the next page has its ranking boosted, it results in a missed result if I use a naive cursor pagination. Any ideas and would be great if anyone know how hackernews or reddit does it in production.

Thanks :O
