Your analogy is certainly interesting... but expecting everyone to want or know how to look under the hood of their car is a little delusional. Most people don’t even know or care to check their oil. They drive from A to B and only take their car in for service when a light is illuminated on the dash or if it’s making a funny noise.

Personally, I do all my own maintenance and love to look under my hood. My wife? She’d drive a car until it was devoid of oil or coolant and the block seized up without even batting an eye lash. I’m not passing judgement here, just offering a more realistic viewpoint.

The same is true for users of apps. There’s a reason the stores have grown to be so successful, and a reason the Google store is evolving to be more and more like Apple’s.

I don’t think that they are perfect, but I also would never consider the open source package systems to be perfect either. Everything has a trade off, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Most cities have that in some form. A river acts as a you cannot cross, except for a few far apart areas. The bay in SF does the same. Then there are sea side cities which have a large shall not cross line.

Its also interesting the history of musical notes, who decided which frequency is which note. Its amazing to think a few hundred years ago people didn't all use the same A->G notes. Also other cultures never adopted the modern temperament.

There is a similar project going on in the city of Hamburg for quite some years now[1], covering the Autobahn A7, which goes from southern Germany all the way up to the Danish border, thus being a pretty important route and Germany's longest Autobahn.

Roughly 140,000 cars are crossing the city through the Autobahn per day.

I really dislike how so many groups are now Facebook based. I miss being able to have emails from groups. Some were important enough that they went to my inbox, some had specific folders so I could check them when I needed. And my email is something that's already a part of my life. It's so much less efficient to use Facebook groups.
This is one aspect and admittedly Android is better than Apple, but the other aspect (and more fundamental) is the ability to gain root on the system and do whatever you wish, and here both Google and Android (in the former case if not Google themselves then all the 3rd party Android vendors) lock down their devices. Rooting through exploits is not an acceptable solution.

Yes and that is just a story. The ability to use your iPad as a second screen was first introduced by a third party app less than a year after the iPad was introduced in 2010.
Thanks. I'm assuming you're talking about the "psychedelics" episode but I noticed the one about dreams. The synopsis asks:

"what’s the significance of dreams and What can they teach us?"

From what I understand about dreams, no one has the answer to that question. It seems like they're going to make unfounded claims which makes me worried about their info.

Do they tend to pose speculation as truth or are they avoiding pseudoscience?
A similar story, with a sample size of one - me. Smoking marijuana helped me quit smoking cigarettes.

One of the reasonably well known side effects of smoking pot is sometimes a feeling of intense paranoia. Well, over a period of a few months, I was regularly smoking pot in the evenings and convinced myself that smoking cigarettes would kill me and while stoned I was able to exaggerate these feelings to the point of paranoia (I was thinking very, very hard. Overthinking, another well known side effect).

Subsequently, even during the day when I wasn't high, I could still "feel" that paranoia whenever I lit up a cigarette.

It took maybe 2-3 months, but eventually I stopped smoking cigarettes all together, and even now almost 20 years later, just one drag starts to make me feel sick.

Of course, then I had a pot smoking problem, but that's a different story, which required a different solution.

Yelp's Horniest (and Best) Reviewer Is a Jacked Foot Worshipper Named Fox E
I had a very different and difficult experience with depression and meditation. Meditation highlighted the depression / anxiety and made me very aware of it, which made me feel the pain very clearly and deeply. It was like watching my brain stab itself repeatedly for hours on end. Meditation + SSRI is a great combination for me.
I used another psychedelic (DMT) to self treat my alcoholism. While it is early days still, I am almost 600 days sober.

The drug allowed to me introspect and access my mind in a way which was previously blocked. From the perspective it unlocked, it was easy to see the harm I was doing to myself and others. It changed my life.
It's bizarre this is being downvoted when, before the 70s, the United States can, in no imaginable way, be defined as being "Communist." After the 70s, Neoliberalism was the predominant ideology, which replaced the prior Keynesian + expansionist ideology (not sure if there was a term for this iteration of ideology like there is for the post-70s--"Neoliberalism").

How, then, would there have been an economic system which fits neither Neoliberal nor Communist models? It's super simple: there are more than two competing systems.

Anecdotally, parent teacher conferences in my area (MA) utilize a "sign up sheet" where you can pick a time, starting in the afternoon and extending into the evening. Furthermore, orientation events were always scheduled in the evening. I suggest you get involved in your local school board / parent groups.

Anker PowerPort Adam PD4 100w [1] is likely the closest. It has two USB-C PD and two USB Type A. It splits that 100w amongst attached devices, giving the full 100w to a single USB-C PD port (20V @ 5A) or sharing the 100w across multiple devices, for example:

* Macbook Pro (45w USB-C 15V @ 3A)
* iPhone XR (30w USB-C 15V @ 2A)
* Battery Pack (12w USB-A 5V @ 2.4A)
* Apple Watch (12w USB-A 5V @ 2.4A)

Or the simpler everyday use: 15in Macbook Pro (87w) + USB-A (12w). It uses a standard IEC-320-C7 cable for power (two pin, round hole) so getting local cables anywhere should be easy.

MSRP is $99.99. Availability is a tight, but it does exist. A few sites have reviewed it and there's at least one teardown on the web.

Reminds me of Luik/Liege in Belgium just across the border form Maastricht. It's far worse there especially when you look at how poor the construction is there and how high the pollution seems to be. You can see that city has suffered immensely economically.

The journey through Maastricht over the highway generally wasn't all that bad, traffic would generally flow remarkably well. I think the primary concerns to put a tunnel in was pollution, noise and congestation.

Sure:

- bluetooth headphones refuse to connect half of the time (they work 100% on my phone and on windows on same hardware)

- audio: sometimes sound just refuses to play.. have to restart graphical session.

- upgrade: after upgrading mint to latest version, restarting got stuck in the terminal: it was missing some package. Had to manually pat install it.

- Android studio/mobile: have to fight for the OS to recognize connected mobile for adb.

- Game: CS:GO sometimes sound is either choppy or "fixing" it in game settings makes it leggy. Same game in steam as well works fine in windows in same hardware.

And the list of thousand paper cuts could go on.

Don't get me wrong, I still use Mint as my main OS in that computer. I have always been a Linux/BSD enthusiast. When I was in my 20s I enjoyed a lot tinkering with it, to make X11R6 work, then winmodems, then sound cards (with alsa), then wifi , etc. But nowadays at 37, I care less and less about dealing with that kind of thing.
You’re also just assuming everyone is running Linux I guess ?

Yes, because everybody was trying to make Communism work and there were never any extremely powerful opponents to it, working in the background to make sure Communism never worked. It just didn't work and we should forget about it. The best way is surely to have a handful of individuals run the show. Case closed.
Personally, it depends, but it’s not as irritating as people often imagine it might be. If I have a particular relationship to a piece, it can be strange hearing it in another key, just as it’s sometimes strange hearing something performed by another instrument. The cultural context also matters; it would definitely be odd going to a piano concert and hearing a Steinway not tuned to A440, but hearing a group playing on period instruments at Baroque pitch feels fine.
Personally I think flexibility is the future. Allow employees to decide or work inhouse or remotely. I work in a very large financial services technology company. I value to closeness to colleges and the quick, sharp interactions that can happen with that - but - there are times when I am wokring on something larger I would be more effective at home or a remote location where sales etc can physically come to my desk and suck my time.

The subject is "oppressive regimes which negatively impact the politics of other countries for their own gain" - and the USA is definitely on-topic in that regard.

Selective outrage over political machinations that don't originate from within your own political in-group is also a common tactic - when you've run out of good faith, arguments or otherwise ..
Good points. As someone who's had the option to work remotely for most of my ~21 year career, I find the sweet spot is a mix. For writing code / solving hard problems / doing "Deep Work", I am much more effective when I can control my environment and eliminate not just time and stress of commute but rule out whole categories of distraction and interruption. OTOH, there is no substitute for human connection; in terms of team dynamics, personal energy / motivation, and effectiveness in driving change, my most impactful moments and projects have all benefited hugely (if not outright depended on) my physical presence. Of course YMMV. So much depends on your personality, your role, your team and manager and company... but IMHO / IME, a mix of remote and onsite is ideal.

"No expectation of immediate reply"? HA! I SO wish. Slack kills any async expectation. Specially if you install it on your cellphone. Then you're on the clock 24/7.

I guess the article also assumes different time zones when working remotely?

I filed the article under the "rubbish bin". I've worked remotely for several years, and maybe I live in a different planet, because "async" and remote work do NOT go hand in hand for me. If anything, Slack means people can reach me even when I'm taking a dump, and I'm expected to reply at that moment.
It makes sense that competence can look like blind luck to people who are unfamiliar with the environment, if it's an environment that behaves in a subtle way and is rarely experienced by an average person.

I'd guess that some social environments often behave like this, where information is difficult to objectively classify and measure, but someone with great people skills will be able to reliably get an indication of risk and intentions.

Maybe some extreme sports practicioners experience the same type of dismissal.

Funnily, come to think of it, investment/asset management falls into something that looks like a similar situation. In that case, it's very difficult to objectively assess whether great performance is luck or skill. I've always believed that some in the latter category are mistaken for being in the former. But it would be impossible to tell without having very specialized and specific skills, and almost impossible to do so in an objective and repeatable way.

No secret, that with oracle you have few full-blown IDEs where you can literally step by step execute triggers, write unit tests for them etc.
So how, precisely, is anyone supposed to get experience if it's unacceptable to hire them fresh out of "boot camp".

Even if you go "INTERNSHIP". Well what, is everyone supposed to stick the unpaid intern on toy apps that don't give them any actual real world experience writing actual production software?

Cause then the next argument will just be "Do you also go to a doctor that came out of an internship? Is you house built by a constructor that came out of an internship?".

Huge Haskell fanboy here. True high performance, fair enough that's hard everywhere. I think it is unlikely a novice C programmer would accidentally balloon their memory like this. The simplest Haskell program that a novice might write has abysmal performance.

I think it is easier to write clear, succinct code in Haskell and easier to write decently fast code in C. Neither is impossible in either.

I've been ready the Wayside School books to my daughter for bedtime recently, the character Kathy demonstrates this pretty well.

From https://wayside-school.fandom.com/wiki/Kathy_(book_chapter) :

"The chapter opens by mentioning that Kathy doesn't like you, and that you are the stupidest person she doesn't know. She also thinks you are the ugliest person she doesn't know, and she doesn't know a lot of people. Even the people she does know she doesn't like. She thinks D.J. smiles too much and hates John because he can't stand on his head.

After the introduction, the chapter talks about a time Kathy had a pet cat named Skunks. She was afraid he would run away, but Mrs. Jewls told her that he would stay as long as Kathy took good care of him, and remembered to give him plenty of food and water. However, Kathy thought Mrs. Jewls was wrong, and to keep Skunks around, locked him in a closet, sometimes even forgetting to take care of him. One day when Kathy was looking for her other shoe, Skunks ran out and never came back. Kathy bragged to Mrs. Jewls, claiming that she was right all along, and tells her that next time she gets a cat, she'll kill him so he never runs away.

Afterwards it talks about a time Dameon was trying to teach Kathy how to play catch. Kathy complains that she'll just get hurt, but Dameon states that as long as she keeps her eyes on the ball, everything will be okay. However, worrying that she'll be hurt in advance, she closes her eyes and the ball lands in her face. She claims that Dameon was wrong and she was right as she runs away sobbing.

Allison thinks that if she is nice to Kathy, Kathy might be nice to her in return, so she bakes her a cookie. Kathy however, thinks it will taste terrible because Allison made it, so she keeps the cookie in her desk. Three weeks later, she decides to eat the cookie, which is now stale and dusty, and as expected, hates it. Kathy says that she was right about Allison's cookie, then the chapter cuts back to narration, explaining that Kathy thought she had very good reasons for hating everyone in Mrs. Jewls's class, alongside a very good reason for hating you. She knows that if you met her, you would hate her too, and already knows she's right. The chapter ends by saying it's weird how someone can always be right and still be wrong."

You can get easily downvoted on HN for saying the very things Chomsky stands behind. Happens me all the time.
I discovered NVC decades ago and have been using it ever since.

Many people complain that NVC sounds unnatural. This is because it is like learning a new language. It sounds unnatural when any native speaker teaches someone their language, because they speak slowly, in simple phrases, and repeat everything at least twice. That is exactly what Marshal did when teaching NVC.

Once you are fluent, it sounds very different and works beautifully. I've occasionally offer help to couples on the verge of breaking up, reworking what they are saying into NVC, and the effects are profound.

Couples on opposite sides of the room, who can't look at each other, end up tightly holding each other, crying together. They feel understood for the first time and understand the pain in each other that motivates each other's hurtful feeling actions.

Then I start teaching them to do it themselves. When they do, the relationship improves. When they don't, they keep needing to come back again and again, and the relationship slowly dies.

I still tend to listen to the full lecture on YouTube about once a year or two as a refresher. As far as I'm concerned, this is one of the most important life skills anyone can learn, and NVC should be taught in all schools.
My (very personal) differentiation of pessimism and depression - pessimism is focusing on anticipating potential negatives (what you described) and depression - is where one would get into the endless loop thinking over particular set of negative outcomes. First one can be practical, although tough. Second one is just harmfull, sorta like personal mini-hell. Would not wish it to even my enemies to get in such state ever.
