Maybe we assume that the internet is crucial to be productive (personally), but it might not be necessary. Productivity isn't just about checking tasks.

Talking about them may be to see which ones resonate with people and are perhaps more valuable to do. Ideas people can be full of ideas and so they don't hold them too dearly because they'll have more ideas tomorrow. Sharing them's a way of testing and dismissing the majority that won't get traction.
It is to my great regret that I've come to realise many people want to be lied to.

Where can I find an online community of abstract thinkers?
Hi HN,

Where can I find an online community of abstract thinkers? But I asked because out of all the online forums I used HN seemed like the right one to ask.
To some extent, sure, but I think that extent is greater with Homebrew. It's my understanding that package maintainers for Debian, RHEL, etc are typically experts in the packages that they maintain. They overlay their own patches to ensure compatibility and submit patches upstream. With Homebrew there's only a small number of committers who maintain the homebrew-core repository, accepting PRs from thousands of people in the community. It's just a different situation.
Why would anyone do this instead of using 4 pages on two sheets of paper ? Wouldn't it be two sheets of paper attached to each other anyway ?
That would likely turn the 18 month upgrade effort into a 36 month upgrade effort that happens 5 years later.

Sometimes long upgrade cycles are great, but I suspect a yearly upgrade to the latest Visual Studio would have been a lot less painful. Fixing a few small issues is much easier than fixing many of them, and having to do it yearly both makes everyone better at doing it and better at avoiding the creation of such issues.

Is this a good example of how things are done in Rust, or is it over-engineered?

I'm pretty sure you should be able to code a thing like a noise gate in 10-15 lines of code.

... and then there's this rather odd statement:

> If we want to use the NoiseGate in realtime applications we’ll need to make sure it can handle typical sample rates.

Maybe I just think it's funny. Back in the early 2000s I used to worry about that and even back then, it's... 44100 samples per second. A whole second to process no more than 44100 numbers, maybe twice that if you have stereo. Unless you're doing something really weird (and Rust should be pretty performant, right?) that shouldn't make the machine even blink.
How? My aunt has a cow(a single one) that lives next to her house, has access to a pasture nearby, and by literally any definition you could pick it lives as happy life as a cow can do(unless you subscribe to the idea that no animals should be ever kept by humans, but I am not convinced that would lead to a measurably better life for the cow). It produces a lot of milk that my aunt uses for herself and her neighbours take some of it as well. How is that not "ethical consumption of cow milk"?
I'm not sure why people are so excited by this. It seems fairly obvious this is just going to be the 15inch with a smaller bezel. Hopefully the resolution of the screens get a nice bump though. The only thing that would make this a real game changer is a fixed keyboard and no touchbar.

Natural gas is at best a bridge technology.

Resources are ultimately more limited than oil, and have grown only through extremely expensive, and environmentally damaging (groundwater contamination, earthquakes) hydrofracking. Simply on a financial basis that appears unsustainable.

Natgas has and will help smooth the transition. It's not a stable goal, however. Lifeboat, not safe land.
I'd love to live in a world where that was the case as well, but I'm not seeing much of that going around at the moment.

And yes, I'd agree that in this case it could likely be considered a general workplace issue where most employees would be on the same side against the corporation.

Semicolon usage could be an affectation or preference; it is generally used in place of a regular conjunction like "but" or "and".

There isn't any usage that I can think of where it would be the only "correct" way to write something; it's stronger than a comma but weaker than a period.

(I don't ever use semicolons normally. Was just trying to show some examples.)

Drawing a single diagram will be faster, true. But adding even a single new node which requires re-layouting the whole thing to make space would require you to redraw the whole diagram, whereas in Graphviz/DOT it’s literally just adding one line of code.
Not saying this happened at IBM, but sometimes correct people can be promoted into correct positions, in which case the company keeps going just fine.

However, at some point any company is probably bound to promote wrong people, who will end up promoting/hiring the wrong people under them, eventually completely changing the course of the business.

It seems like the death of a company is inevitable.

>> The standard textbook of psychiatry at the time stated that incest was extremely rare in the United States, cocurring about once in every million women.

This would seem incredibly low, even for a non-expert. At the time, as the article notes, there were 100 million women in the US - for incest to only impact 100 women in the country and yet be something that there is a word (noun) for, laws against, and historical records of stretching back millenia stretches credibility, surely.

Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook from Digital Marketers
So many questions OP. I dove into the source and couldn't answer...

1. Does this use native rendering of the local OS? I.e. On Linux it uses GTK or QT?

2. Is this meant to be entirely OS Agnostic? Are you going to support Linux, Windows, Kitchen Sink, Etc?

3. Are you planning on seeing this through to the end and completing the library 100% or is this a proof on concept?

Actually, my first UNIX experience was OpenBSD. I must have been around 14 years old or so when I ran an OpenBSD server at home, and use it as a NAT router with PF.

Whenever I couldn't figure something out I'd just read the manpage and go from there. Needless to say I also did a lot of trial and error, but that was mostly due to my own lack of knowledge at the time.

Fast forward to 2019, and at Mailhardener we run a couple OpenBSD instances, mostly because we really like OpenSMTPd. We also run Debian based servers for convenience reasons.

I still wouldn't recommend OpenBSD though, for almost all situations it would make more sense to run a Linux based OS. Whether it being on the desktop or on a server.
It's definitely positive, although I'm also slightly disappointed. I think the original plan was to build it near Dresden. That would have been quite a signal, but on the other hand it might be good for it to be successful to have it connected with the metropolitan region Berlin/Brandenburg.
I do financial data analysis and Jupyter Notebooks allows me to run scripts while explaining my findings/arguments about the data within the same space.

It's a convenient way to present both data and narrative to whoever might need to see it.

I also like being able to run snippets when writing scripts, at least when it comes to building/testing. I'm more on the data science side than the dev side though, so that's probably why Jupyter Notebooks appeal to me more than other IDEs.
What charging infrastructure? You would literally need two or three charging spots for the whole country.

Googlers are debating "entertainment politics", not economic politics. Instead of unionizing, they're criticizing contracts with oil and gas companies, criticizing search engine censorship in China (but just in China; search engine censorship in the United States is apparently fine and dandy), and protesting that every executive doesn't get fired on the spot upon receiving a sexual harassment complaint.

They are not discussing the power imbalance between workers and the owners of capital. They are not discussing Google's abuse of private information at large. Just as many Americans watch Fox News or CNN every night and yell at the TV, Googlers are getting upset at tips of the iceberg.
The TL;DR here is that it's possible to transition into a VC role as a former CTO but it's not a common pathway.

Many VCs have followed a standard pathway from Harvard/Stanford/Whartonn MBA into a fund (because it checks the boxes of LP due diligence) , but if you are looking to shortcut that process, then you have to consider how other VCs got their start.

The great debate in VC is whether Operator VCs (those who have founded or operated a business) are better suited to VC than Investor VCs (those who haven't founded or operated a business, like most Wall Street types)?

The data indicates there is no clearcut answer. You can read the CB Insights analysis here: https://www.cbinsights.com/research/founders-best-venture-ca...

Also, Fred Wilson (@AVC) wrote an article that indicated investor VCs make the best kind of VC more often (which of course can be analyzed otherwise): https://avc.com/2017/05/investor-vcs-and-operator-vcs/

The important things to note are that 1) VC is not monolithic and 2) VC is multi disciplinary.

The best VC fund managers need to be great at raising capital, have excellent deal flow/selection, know how to communicate, negotiate and close deals, be valuable board members, manage a fund portfolio and exit portfolio companies to return capital to the fund's LPs.

Finally, here are the top three reasons why Fred Wilson thinks many of the best VCs, at least of his generation, were not entrepreneurs and operators before becoming VCs:
1. Manage People. Avoiding the temptation to operate and instead managing well from a distance.
2. Strategic Mindset. Understanding where value is going to be in an emerging market, how to get to the best strategically positioned companies first, and how to guide those companies toward a strategy that wins the market.
3. Being a portfolio team player by wearing many hats and ultimately doing whatever it takes to help solve the startup founder's biggest problems.

Of the many strikes against nuclear power, a paucity of siting locations is almost certainly well down the list.

Something I say as no particular fan (though also not a doctrinaire opponent) of nuclear power.

The fact that scaling nuclear beyond its present contribution would require vast numbers of plants, many in politically (and otherwise) unstable regions, is a much larger concern in my book. We're committing to decades to millennia of addressing consequences in regions where stability is often measured in years, sometimes months.
> earlier this month, more than 1,000 employees called on the company to cancel deals with oil and gas companies.

No, I haven't noticed improvement, but my model of improvement may not necessarily be one that we share. I see a more thought-diverse community as an improvement. We learn from those who don't share the same views as us. Hacker News hasn't offered the opportunity for that to happen. I see valuable dissenting opinions buried at the bottom of the comments section all the time. This is for a variety of reasons, not just the opinions of the community. Two categorical reasons include architecture and design. Hacker News is designed to facilitate group-think. The timing of comment submissions and lack of nuance in the voting mechanism make it especially problematic for promoting thought diversity.

Car2Go and Coup with major financial backing from Mercedes and Bosch.

Tons of small seed-stage companies funded by the great smaller VCs here. ECB central bank policy pushes a lot of money into startup investment.
The timing precision thing by itself doesn't twarte anything, it just makes the attacks harder or take more time.

The browser vendors themselves said this; and it's not a permanent solution as tech such as Stadia and WebVR rely on high precision timers.

You just make these attacks more likely; I'm not going to be impacted except for a few trillion CPU cycles of idiots trying to exploit me.

Politics is power management. There is no such thing as apolitical, in the same way as there's no such thing as anti-power. In the sea, all fish are water managers: in society, all people are power managers. In terms of politics, there's only how much power you have, how actively you use it, and how ignorant you are. When someone identifies as apolitical, she just means she's submissive.

I still have a couple, and use them to great effect to charge my Android device more quickly on the thin clients at work as well as protect myself from juicejacking.
I know a lot of things about audacity can be a bit clunky, but the quality of the denoise tool in Audacity is actually extremely good. I read its code one time, and I was impressed.

And the region in which those hundred-thousand-plus were killed ... is now home to some 7 millions of souls.

Hydro power, for much the same organisational, political, and disaster response reasons as nuclear, which is to say, non-technical reasons, can be exceedingly risky.

But once the immediate hazard is resolved, over the course of months to years, the region returns to normal.

The immediate innundation from Banqiao was responsible for ~25k deaths. The additional 100k or so came from starvation and disease due to widespread disruption of the region, and a grossly inadequate disaster response plan and capability.

Organisational / institutional failures at Chernobyl, Fukushima, and for that matter, Hanford and Sellafield, were and are massive contributing factors. You cannot engineer around those.
