I've just learned to recognize the kind of problems that sleeping me is good at.

Let's see if I can verbalize that...

I think it's often when I've discovered a lot of new things during the day, and I struggle to combine them.

Or when I get stuck on something, maybe having a hard time to decide between options. I go to sleep confident that I'll have fresh perspective and decisiveness the next day!

Ever get your testosterone levels tested?
It's certainly possible that the relationship is not causal and can be explained by correlations with depression, unemployment, sleep apnea, etc. However I'm not aware of any study that definitively proves this. It would be great to see a study similar to what you propose.

In general I'm fascinated how too much of a good thing leads to increased mortality and small amounts of a bad thing leading to increased longevity via hormesis and would love to see if the same extends to sleep.

Some examples of hormetic longevity influencers: caloric restriction, alcohol consumption, exercise. Even DNP a straight up poison has been shown to be increase lifespan in animals provided the dose is small.
The police and their unions have complained a lot in western countries about Waze. It’s a very controversial feature to them too. Which shows what type of government they’d build if we keep saying yes to them.

This app is excluded to HK as well, it’s not like they have to appease China by proxy considering their app stores are already different.
This was my experience as well.

With so much work in graduate school to get done, the temptation is there to simply not sleep awhile. I'm sure you'd agree to get at least some sleep!
Yesterday only I set it up with B R command. But that just shows just three links - two to the comments, and one to the article.
>I think if I was going to approach this I would build software that users run, or browser add ons that lets user tag and save information in some type of format, and then that contributes to a knowledge search information.

Something like delicious or pinboard, I suppose.

I agree. A social bookmarking website would be pretty interesting if done right.
I often find myself mote productive after a mildly bad night. The brain stops anxiously looking for nuts to crack, and instead can easily focus on a single problem for a long time. Isn't best for all scenarios, but definitely superior in some, e.g. implementing a large chunk of logic that was designed earlier.
This is a great question.

As others said, the data is contaminated. Likely people who are sick sleep a lot more.

That said, I'm one of those people (healthy, I think) who sleeps 9-14 hours every day. My goal every night is to sleep as long as I possibly can. Nights when I only hit 9 hours is usually because I had to get up to go the bathroom.

I have Sleep Apnea but treat it with a CPAP and went from 20 awakenings per HOUR to just 0 to 2 per NIGHT. But the amount I need to sleep hasn't changed for some reason. I definitely feel dramatically more rested after sleep than I used to though.

I started using AutoSleep app with Apple Watch Series 4 and it's been incredibly interesting. It uses your heart rate to automatically track sleep without you touching the app. So far, I vary from 15 minutes to 1 hour of stage 4 deep sleep per night. The average person needs 1.5-2 hours per night so I am not hitting that. My recent 6 day average is 30 minutes. There is barely a relationship between length of sleep and amount of deep sleep. Just this week I had one night with 6 hours and one night with 11 hours, both totaled 15 minutes of deep sleep.

I'd love to compare notes with someone else who uses the AutoSleep app.
I am not cargo culting, however I disagree with you that not having deleting account option is “actively user hostile”. It would be if it happened like Blizzard did, disallowing users to do an account deletion. Mods seems fine to delete your account, so I don’t get why you’re saying that this is hostile to the user.

I mean, if the number of users deleting account is low why bother implementing a feature in first place? If the mods were overwhelmed with requests and would start giving excuses to delete your account thanks to this, now I think the lack of account deletion in HN would be user hostile.
Capitalism was suppose to deliver better products. So we got electron apps...
You should do some reading about the idea of the "frozen middle", which is pretty much what's being described as the problem. It's as resistant to edicts from the top as ground-up initiatives from the bottom.
Anybody in North America who's interested in this kind of technical magic should consider attending one of the few demoscene parties (meetings/competitions) in the U.S. such as Demosplash [1]

1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-GTf7b9PKk

If you are in Europe, especially Northern Europe, there's a ton of very well attended parties. There's even a few in Japan!

It's really for people who are extremely passionate about technology for technology's sake and like to show off a little.
Sample bias? Linux users are people who aren't sufficiently bothered by Linux's flaws or don't encounter any flaws due to their HW / usage patterns. Same as any other OS.

To say the parent poster is lying is a bit much. You have know idea what kind of stuff they're trying to do.
> If there are any conflicts then it will force you to stop and resolve them

Rebasing does this too. Can't we compromise, and agree to never allow "git pull" to spontaneously and unthinkingly create a merge commit with two parents?

Instead, let's do merges of our rebased feature branches, into the trunks that they are based on, but with "no-ff" – this retains the information you wanted about what feature branches have merged into what trunks, and when. But the history of each branch maintains linearity and no commit ever has more than one parent.

I don't have to work with either of you, but this is how we resolved this debate on my team, and we haven't looked back. It's not even worth having this conversation unless you need branches to be long-lived. But if someone else ever has to rebase your branch with merges in it, they'll thank you if you have honored this, and curse you under their breath if you have left these thoughtless merge commits around.

Do merge, but please only merge deliberately. (I also recommend checking out Deliberate Git for a great talk on Git, with similar ideas! https://vimeo.com/72762735)
As a Linux user I feel like windows users live in a bubble where where computers are more or less expected to behave like diseased wild animals rather than machines.
There are numerous studies that show that cars nowadays are dramatically more reliable, both in when and how they fail. There are always going to be maintenance parts but I really can't imagine that cameras are getting loose wires. Besides it's literally two screws and a clip to replace these. They are cheaper to replace than mirrors.
Dude, in HK the police raise are legally obliged to raise flags to warn the public of things such as firing tear gas, dispersing crowds, illegal assembly etc. They will also post on Twitter to notify the public where and when they will disperse the public. The HK police force wants the public to know where they are, so in the context of HK, banning this app is kind of ridiculous.

Considering the brutality of the HK police force in recent months, I would argue that this app is great at providing the public with information on how to avoid being tear gassed, beaten or arrested by avoiding the police. A lot of locals have been extremely pissed off with the police force. They have gone into very residential areas and fired tear gas unnecessarily among a whole host of other things.
Xubuntu all day every day (seriously, I've been on Xubuntu for the past 5 years and I love it)
Very interesting!

In high school, I would often "retell" the day in my mind, usually right before bed. More often than not, I would wake up with the solutions to problems I struggled with.

I have been trying to recreate this as an adult, except now I'm retelling the story of my day to my wife and vice versa.

Maybe the key is to do it earlier in the evening, and then disconnect for a few hours? I'll give it a shot.

Between lucid dreaming and solving problems overnight, sleeping was never better than in my high school years. I really do wish I could go back to that.
Incidentally to China’s authoritarianism you think companies should have their rights to who uses their services or not relinquished? What if a mall prevented undercover officers from using their property to investigate them, requesting they use public channels with it’s law or regulatory enforcement?

I’ve read a few articles on it and since 2017 no charges have been laid. So clearly Uber didn’t break any laws by enforcing their terms of service.

I’d much rather have this sort of thing be written clearly into law so whether or not they can force you to let them secretly use your service or not without identification can be constrained, limited in scope so it’s not a fishing expedition, and subsequently challenged in court.
Touch screens are terrible for what I will generalize as "machine control". Dangerous, really. It's a two part problem, first there's the touch screen itself and then the UI software.

When I was getting started in engineering I did a stint writing process management software where I worked. I was quite proud when I completed the project I was assigned by the VP of engineering. I had him come over to show off the completed project. I showed him all the features. Everything worked. I completed it on time and exactly per the specifications he gave me.

And then he took his hand and swiped across the computer keyboard back and forth like he was playing every note on a piano by pressing down and moving his hand all the way to the left and then all the way to the right.

He looked at me, smiled, and walked away. Didn't have to say a thing.

I won't describe what happened. Let's just say it broke. Had this been a controlling a real process --rather than a simulator-- it would have been a horrible mess.

It took me twice as long to redo the thing and make it fault tolerant, not just to user mishaps (drop a coffee cup, wrench, notebook or trip and press down with your entire hand on the keyboard) but also to sensor failures.

With one simple demonstration he taught me what school never did about software, hardware and the real world.

Touch screens are great tools, but you really have to think things through very carefully before using them as the only UI device. Bottom line: You should be able to close your eyes, place your hands on the touch screen and play it like a piano without anything bad happening.

Having designed lots of physical user interface control panels (knobs, buttons, etc.) I know exactly why people resort to touch screens: Designing control panels is very, very hard. You also have to think things through and do a lot of testing in order to be able to both deal with ergonomics, usage patterns, function availability and user cognitive load. With touch screens you design the control panel and then let the software gods sort it out. The process allows one to get to final hardware quicker while delaying all the hard UI work as much as possible.

I won't even get into the issue of touch screens creating greater cognitive load as well as requiring finer motor control, both things that are undesirable while driving or operating equipment that could cause physical harm or property damage.
Yeah, it is. However my point is, mods seems to delete your account without any unnecessary complications, so it is fine for me to now have a feature to do this.

Like I said below, it is really reasonable to not have a feature if the number of users asking to delete their accounts is manageable by mods. If it wasn’t, and thanks to this the mods would avoid deleting accounts, giving lame excuses or taking a long time, now I think the lack of this feature is user hostile.
My elementary aged child has a Kindle locked in FreeTime mode. He checks out Kindle books from our local library from my phone once a week. There's no clunky E-reader based browsing for books, a near infinite supply of well curated books by librarians, no subscription, and it involves all steps he can do by himself. I highly recommend this setup for anyone thinking of a device like this!
Maybe these kinds of things will push us more towards decentralized power generation like solar and wind, and bigger lab-wide or campus-wide battery battery backups?
If you have work that can be destroyed by a power outage you should plan accordingly. Power outages are a normal thing and can happen at any time, especially in areas with earthquake and fire risks. Not preparing is foolish.
The police are phsyically attacking the people, it's quite different. Yes, this app helps protestors, but it also helps the public avoid being treated extremely violently by the police.
What the OP did is (in this case) irrelevant to what the asshole did. There were multiple ways he could have gone about dealing with the situation that did not involve fucking someone over, but he chose to do that instead.

I just cannot attribute something like that to altruism.
> No, that would just be regular motion -- and QM would be no really different from throwing a cannonball (for example) and running the ballistic equations.

This is not true. Under the DeBroglie-Bohm interpretation of QM an object exists at a single place at a time, what is fuzzy is our knowledge of where it is. And this interpretation holds up to all of the double slit and interference behaviors we expect from QM.

I'm thinking about installing a 360° aftermarket camera in my car. That's because I can't see where my front (esp. the front right side) is with any mirrors. Nose's too low to see the corners.

I've already brushed against other person's car in the dark and lost some sleep over that, waiting for them to contact me (thankfully, they weren't too much upset over it). A 360 camera is certainly not a replacement for mirrors, but looks like an awesome ability to have additional vision.

BTW, I wonder why no one places parking camera display in a way that requires driver to physically turn backwards and see the window as well. Even mirrors don't really provide a proper view, and it's inconvenient (if not unsafe) to turn back and forth.
For all the bitching and moaning about USB-C in Apple MacBooks, the move looks prescient in retrospect.
What Make Amazon Prime Different from YesMovies Website
Everyone is having easy access to the internet now. In India alone, the internet services provided by Jio are all encompassing and very fast and this has given so many number of people easy access to broadband internet connection. People are now making judicious use of the fast internet link and more data time are used than before. And, it has improved people’s preference for high definition (HD) movies over the small videos that are in 240p and less. Moreover, people now prefer to watch their TV shows and movies over the internet because the YesMovies site is there to make it happen.
There are also many movie streaming service sets that are available to serve people’s need. Notable of them are HotStar, Amazon Prime, Netflix and a host of others. But what make these set of streaming service sites different from Repelis, YesMovies, Coke and Popcorn is that they provide link to stream movie contents free of charge while the earlier set will require people to register and pay monthly subscription to be able to stream movies and video contents through their links.
Subscription-type movie streaming service sites (the like of Netflix and Hotstar) have had their imprints spread across the globe. They spend very hugely in term of operating cost and most of their movie contents are licensed. These are some of the reasons why they will have to charge viewers some subscription fees to be able to generate some revenues. So many people are however not able to pay such high subscription fees to watch some limited number of TV shows and movies. They are eager to watch latest and new release movies but cannot afford to pay for them.

What is the generally accepted criteria for "credible information"? How could Apple have communicated better about how they reviewed or corroborated the claims given by the Hong Kong Cybersecurity and Technology Crime Bureau?
Very little, but it isn't uncommon for me once a week or every other week to go a full night with no sleep at all.
+1 Insightful. At first.

Once there is "enough" in it, the rest will go in at an exponentially increasing rate, for a few years.

After that, you will need to explain to a journal why your submitted paper doesn't refer to a mechanical proof.
I was there in May and did end up going in a circle the first time at Shibuya and finding myself back at the viewing area overlooking the crossing after just following the ramps. The stairs down were quite easy to miss.

Once you know to keep walking the platform to the exit you need it's very easy for most stations.

Where I struggled was finding a specific shop or eatery I had previously visited at Ueno. Too many separate concourses and shopping areas.

Reading this before having to pull an all-nighter for the two exams I have tomorrow may not have been the best idea.
Well personal + fed into a centralized system, a human knowledge search engine which I think was some of the magic of the early internet but now is buried in FB groups and the other locations i mentioned.
> All this smooth talk has certainly convinced US presidential hopeful Joe Biden. “What are we worried about?” he cheerfully asked a recent audience.

Of course he did, when his son's firm got $1 billion in Chinese investment: https://nypost.com/2018/03/15/inside-the-shady-private-equit...
Maybe sick people just stay in bed more, which leads to sleeping more?
I certainly don't accuse them of loyalty to China. That's a straw man.
That's interesting, I actually used to find something similar. I have chronic fatigue syndrome (chronic = persistent, fatigue = tired, syndrome = god knows why). The upshot of this is when I am under any amount of stress I become very prone to poor / low sleep. For example I have a deadline coming up and I am writing this at 3am.

During particularly bad periods I did find that hours awake from midnight to ~5am were both very productive and very happy. No idea what that's about. Fortunately I don't drive so sleep deprivation is not such a dangerous issue.
Anything that you connect to the system bus can compromise the system.

Of course, ME has easier time doing that. But any ROM you can't inspect, any binary blob you load can do that.

I suppose that if you want this level of impenetrability, you have to go with everything custom. Could your memory controller scheme against you and alter RAM contents when a backdoor pattern is encountered? Do you trust IBM to not put a backdoor or a kill switch in your POWER9?

Implement your CPU, memory, bus, and disk controllers, NIC logic, etc, in FPGA. Build your own RAM with controllers you program, don't trust DIMM manufacturers. Write your own or adopt open booting software, same with firmware for the peripheral devices.

You'll get a very high security computer where a backdoor has basically nowhere to hide.

Alas, it won't fit the restrictions of a laptop.
Surely humidity and sun exposure have a far larger effect than air pollution.
Buying panels is still more expensive than paying an electric company for electricity. It takes many years before you start to get a return on your investment. So I don't think that's really a valid counter argument..
Google has go, that one at least is pretty great.
Baffling that they couldn't have a diesel generator handy. One can rent an inverter, like for portable lighting units or a Lincoln welder, pretty readily and for relatively inconsequential sums in most cases.
Almost certainly as part of the sleep studies and checkups I've done, but I don't recall any doctors calling any particular attention to it. They always seem more concerned with the state of my heart and my mental state (any anxiety/depression/etc.) when I go to checkups.
* (a) lie in an extension of the rationals of degree 2^n; (b) be algebraic, in the sense that its coordinates are roots of rational polynomials.*

(a) implies (b) here, but I’m sure you know this.

From myself, I recommend Aluffi’s “Algebra. Chapter 0”, it’s more modern and I find its style much more matching my taste.
We initially went with OpenCL to maximize optionality, e.g., back then, GPUs were just getting into the cloud, and we were thinking of eventually getting Graphistry running on FPGAs as well. However, we had to bring a bunch of stuff to the JS world, and ultimately, we wasted a ton of time & money here and with minuscule eco-system support. Intel & AMD's SW arms are very narrow in what they actually support, so if you aren't doing some precise deep learning thing or legacy fortran whatever, sorry.

Back then, the case was unclear because so little stuff existed outside of the MPI & graphics worlds. Today, for most engineering leaders today, the CUDA ecosystem, and emerging productivity layers like RAPIDS is quite rich. They make OpenCL a niche & risky call. The goal should be writing ~100X more code than the OpenCL ecosystem is giving you, it's just surface level.
I had the same experience with Darter Pro. Also the laptop's touchpad wasn't working properly from the beginning. When I contacted them, they kept asking me to try a lot of things on my own. I tried them for a while. I am developer, I like trying to fix things on my own upto certain extent. But when I pay crazy amount for something to someone, I expect them to fix it.

Also the display stopped working after a week and they blamed me for cracking the screen, even though I kept the laptop in a bag all the time.

The support was bad too. I would get response from different person on same support request for every new message. It bothered me because it looked like the new person who replied next time had no idea about the history of the support request.
That's interesting. I've heard several people say they developed insomnia as teenagers, but for me it was ever since I was a kid. My parents would always get annoyed with me when I was young because I would talk with my siblings all night instead of sleeping.
No, it's going to lead to even more regulation which in turn will constrain what PG&E can do even further. At this point, it should just become a state owned and operated enterprise and drop the dressing of being private.

Once it does that, we'll come to appreciate their service as much as we appreciate the schedulekeeping of the MUNI.
