I haven't read the entire article thoroughly but I think "Queue management for inbound digital content" is something implemented in an SRS app called SuperMemo. The way it's intended to work is that you have content and over time break it down and through the scheduling system you eventually end up with extracts small enough to be made into SRS cards (though it's more complicated than that in actual use). It has a lot of weaknesses, mainly because a lot of it is based on features from IE (thus poor PDF support) but I still find it extremely useful. If I find any article that looks interesting I just throw it there and eventually I'll import it, go through it with incremental reading (https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Incremental_reading) and eventually dismiss it.

Edit: I also ought to mention, it has a very good priority/interval system for scheduling when I see things. Essentially things I give lower priority are less likely to show up and when I'm going through my material/doing my reps I'm more likely to see high priority material. There's a general issue that you find the thing you see soonest most shiny and thus a strong likelihood of overprioritizing new material but SuperMemo helps intersperse everything to prevent that.

It sort of can do the central search thing too to an extent, I can search through my collection of imported articles/cards and find stuff that's generally relevant to my interests. Though how useful it is depends largely on how long you've used the app. I am also reminded of the brain (https://www.thebrain.com/) but I'm not super familiar with it.

Have you heard of Ted Nelson's Xanadu? I've only looked into it a little but I was reminded of it when you talked about better reading.

Isn't there a litany of examples where the government has the power to decide and enforce truthfulness? Stuff like health claims and protected designation of origin.
Well then, f(x + 1) > f(x). I don't know where you're getting this x < f(x) as "increasing".

The point about sqrt(3) not working for the naturals is a valid point, however.
Assuming it writes log files at a constant rate, the rate of wear is proportional to 1/(1-f), where f is the fraction of storage taken up by firmware. Interestingly, this isn't exponential either - it's infinite at f=1!

And for a province with a legal drinking age of 18, too. Seems onerous.
Uncoincidentally, members of the PAP have a reputation for being rather aggressive in suing people for libel.

I think somewhere you have to accept that certain statements aren't true or false. What has changed recently is the willingness of people to view the statements of others as "lying" as opposed to having a different opinion. Unf, when the plaintiff is the government this becomes even more tricky (and I think a reasonable person would conclude that the PAP have used the legal system to supress criticism...I love Singapore, I love LKY...but it is what it is).

None of these are like the allegations of election tampering the article discusses, which is squarely in the realm of First Amendment-protected speech in America.
I'm thankful for my friend who brought me up here to Pennsylvania and saved me from having to continue living with heroin addicts who were constantly accusing me of using them when they were the ones using me. I'm also thankful that he has been there for me for the past few years trying to push me along in the right path, and that I finally got the message and realized that it's time to stop sabotaging myself and work towards my future. I am also thankful that he has given me a position within his company as one of the early members of it as an account manager, and also the opportunities I have identified to write code and automate business processes, as I have not had the motivation or drive to write any substantial amount of code in years. I am also thankful that he has taken a hard line on my sobriety and facilitated an environment where I can finally work towards learning more about my "true" self, not the self that is hidden behind layers of drugs and escapism.

Most of all, I'm thankful that for the first time since my son was in my life, that I feel alive and like I have purpose again. I'm thankful to be here in this moment, and I am thankful that I have an outlet here on hacker news to share what I am thankful for :)
Work wise, my business partner. Other-wise my love, pets, family and friends.
Until the rich/influential people find a school district in an area with extremely high housing costs, and give it a ton of money. Which ends up making a "public" school with a lot of the qualities of private schools that you seem to dislike.

Of course, the above already happens.
ε is epsilon, conventionally "an arbitrarily small positive number".
There are a ton of gremlins in Tesla just waiting to go off like time bombs. I recently got a very expensive repair just outside of warranty where the car simply refused to charge. Paid nearly 3000 for the diagnosis and repair for the car to start charging again - we are talking about a car with no wear and tear parts for the most part costing nearly 3K because a chip somewhere between the charge port and battery failed. My whole reason for buying it was that this would be the ultimate reliable car without ICE or brake wear, leaving tires as the only consumable. Guess I was wrong.

The point is that the rich people found a public school that they could make act like a high-quality private one. The inner city kids were still left in the same situation as before.
It is insane how well preserved these remains are
It’s a neatly polished programming challenge site which is both communal and competitive, there’s a bonus score (I think) for completing on the same day a challenge is released, there’s a leaderboard race for the first 100 answers each day (typically all gone within 1-2 minutes after midnight) and there’s a subreddit where people share their solutions in all kinds of languages, and it’s nothing to do with competing for a FAANG job interview.

But apart from that it is “just” coding challenges with a story wrapped around them, and if you don’t like those, you won’t care for it.
Yes, we were looking at this quite a while ago. Lighting is a really hard business (especially residential) so we did not make the leap, and mainly have tried so far to work with people who are in that business.

We thought back then that some form of "smart lighting" would be universal. This mostly hasn't happened, so the truth is that the opportunity is different than we had guessed. Today most "smart" replacement lamps are $20+, similar to several years ago, even though normal lamps are $1.

We do support a lot of integrations with f.lux on Windows, so people can use f.lux with their Hue/LIFX/yeelight/etc., but it is somewhere <2% of our users right now.

I'm thankful for my parents. Because of their planning, saving, and support, I graduated college despite mental health issues, a "I'm thinking of suicide" note, and breaking off a wedding engagement to move back in with my parents.

Now I have a degree in a subject I loved, a nice desk job that encourages me to research and apply new ideas, a wife who is the fiancee I broke up with, and a home in a great school district for our future child. We just got back from a trip to the West Coast and are planning to go to Japan and Germany in the future.

The odds of this life were not in my favor, despite being a white American from the middle class (though those didn't hurt). I am lucky. I and everyone who feels this lucky should give other people chances to stumble on their own lucky path.
You can do that with the standard library, just do File::read_to_string and String::lines or String::split_whitespace.
It's an attempt to do something, but calling it "an attempt to right thousands of years of injustice" might be a bit contentious.
I'm thankful for all the mentors I've had over the years. Not just teaching and taking the time to explain until I understand, but also providing good examples how to handle bad situations and treat people.
That is really cool and definitely a massive timesaver (I've written my own primitive query NLP for SQLite fstext indices and can definitely appreciate this feature!)

That said, (and only because your example reminded me) I absolutely hate the NLP `or` operator. I feel like any language to offer an `or` operator needs to require the simultaneous usage of a grouping operator (parentheses, etc.) to clarify the order of operations. A space is an implicit `and` so I never know if the `or` is working on directly adjacent keywords or the query as a whole.
> I’ve been employed there a few years

> I really just want to go and do something else

It sounds to me like you’ve already decided. It might be time for a change anyway? If you have some equity (and don’t gave terms that make it difficult to retain it after you leave) then why not try something else?

Taking time out is harder, depending on location. Sometimes being out of work makes it difficult to find work. I certainly recommend taking a holiday before applying for work.

Personally don’t recommend taking your issues to management. I’ve rarely seen that not have negative consequences.
> Your second link mentions that alcohol is a factor in 1/3 of fatal traffic accidents and that traffic accidents are the leading killer of adults under 25. I think dropping the leading killer of young adults would be worthwhile.

I'm with you 100%, and again, I don't recommend anyone ever drive drunk. It's hardly the responsible thing to do. I was pointing out that it isn't as most people assume, that if you have 2 drinks you're going to die in a multi-car pile-up.

I also suspect those under-25s had more than 3-4 drinks, and also that they likely drove extra recklessly as under-25s tend to do — hence their insurance premiums and inability to rent cars.

We should always evaluate the proportionality of our responses especially as humans are notoriously bad at managing low risk of a strongly negative outcome.

> Your third link says accidents will be the cause of death for 1 in 77 people and compared it to 1 in 276 people dying of skin cancer. Does this mean I shouldn't bother wearing sunscreen?

Not wearing sunscreen may well help you avoid skin cancer and have other ancillary benefits to both you and reefs. [1] tldr: vitamin D supplements don't work and sunscreen blocks your ability to synthesize vitamin D and nitrogen oxides (which lower blood pressure).

re: cancer risk of sun exposure: the most common cancers due to sun exposure are basal-cell carcinomas and squamous-cell carcinomas, which are almost never fatal.

People who work outdoors are half a likely to develop melanoma, and similarly for tanned people. “The risk factor for melanoma appears to be intermittent sunshine and sunburn, especially when you’re young,” says Weller. “But there’s evidence that long-term sun exposure associates with less melanoma.”

but I digress, you don’t have a mandatory sunscreen application machine stapled to all the doors of your house by law if you fail to put it on twice haha

Saying "I don't expect you to fix this" seems unnecessarily deferential and like negotiating against yourself. I actually would expect the founders to fix problematic team leads.

>I wonder what was different with American culture 60 years ago that enabled such an achievement?

You should read Peter theil's book zero to one then. In the book, he highlights how the culture have changed from taking deterministic risks to placing non-deterministic bets all over the place to minimize risks. This pessimism according to him came due to the numerous bubbles like dot-com bubble, the real estate crisis, and the clean energy bubble that have gone bust due to over optimism.
Definitely talk to the founders. Founders probably have no idea you are considering leaving and would be shocked if you leave without voicing your concerns. Founders ALWAYS want to talk with key employees who are considering leaving. You are unlikely to get compensated with what you deserve, but they can definitely create a better working environment for you. Even if things don't work out and you do leave, you'll walk out of things with a good reference and network from the founders because you left on good terms.
Is it possible that at some point someone in your family tree was preferred for employment due to their immigration, or perhaps other status, which created opportunities that brought you to where you are today?
Or write the logs to a separate and easily replaceable module/drive. Putting the firmware on the same chip as what you're regularly writing to is probably a bad idea.
Definitely this for me as well. When I was younger I was at an interesting crossroads with my freetime where I'd either program or play video games obsessively. I decided to try putting that video game energy into improving my programming ability, and 10 years later now I'm in the valley making FAANG wages at a young age and still absolutely love programming. I have no idea how my life would have turned out if I didn't luck into discovering this amazing hobby. I feel bad calling my job "work" since I very rarely don't feel like coming in.

Just so you know, this law doesn't apply the govt themselves.

However, govt said that the historian's evidence were incorrect even though no other historians dispute this fact.

Even in combustion engine cars if ECM buckles up it usually is expensive to repair(at least in my part of the world). I guess with a car like Tesla, rich with electronics & unavailability of parts to 3rd party service centers; repairs can be very expensive.
Networking fundamentals.

I was very blessed to take a two year Cisco CCNA prep class in highschool. I learned about the seven layers of the OSI model, subnets, routing, dns, and all sorts of practical things. These networking concepts have helped me out significantly when creating distributed microservices in a self service cloud hosted SaaS startup.

Watching my peers have to play catch up, helps me understand how valuable those classes were. I wish I would have paid more attention in them.

I have some Osram Lightify bulbs along with Home Assistant to do this.

During the day time all my bulbs are at 6000K and 100% brightness, at 6pm the bulbs in my bedroom/office dip to around 4500K and 50% brightness, and at 8pm to 2700K and minimum brightness (we have a toddler).

In my kitchen/living room during the day it's the same, at 8pm to 4500K at 50% brightness and at 11:30pm to 4500K at minimum brightness.

I considered having the schedule run on when the sun sets, but in my location that is 10pm in the summer and 4pm in the winter so it doesn't really work at the extremes (I have the same complaint with tooks like f.lux as well :D).
When you quickly need to know how to do something, search google and then find the first hit to be a page with nothing but a video on it which, painfully slowly, tells you how to do it. Something which would have taken 1 or 2 lines of text, dragged out over a 10 minute video. Even more lovely if it contains config files or code which, ofcourse, you cannot copy/paste. I am not an aggressive person, but...
That family made both a heart saving choice and a heartbreaking one. That other baby's heart lives on in your daughter.

This past summer, my late-20s brother was killed when he was hit by a car while riding his bike. He was an organ donor, and because his heart never stopped beating, his organs (including his heart) went to six or seven other people.

But don't just check your organ donor status, tell the people you love that you're an organ donor. It was completely by chance that we found out that my brother was one just a few days before the accident, and we never found his wallet or his driver's licence, so we probably wouldn't have known his wishes otherwise.
Thank you for bringing up SuperMemo - I remember reading through Piotr's article on Genius [0] and thought it was a wonderful piece on the balance of creativity and memorization.

I've looked through SuperMemo's features and while I completely subscribe to the idea of spaced repetition (I have used Anki for some periods) I was put off by the user interface; perhaps I should try it again.

Don't tell my boss but I have the greatest flipping job ever. Just another software dev but challenging, interesting, and yet not high pressure/intensity. Great compensation and recognition.

I'm healthy aside from the results of my poor diet. My family is healthy too.

Born in the US to a wealthier than average family. I am thankful that almost everything in my life has gone my way.
Off the top of my head:

Benefits:
- Working in a dead ecosystem reduces the risk of bleeding-edge fomo (see web-dev)
- Prior generation tooling has fewer layers of abstraction
- Imperative paradigm easier to groc than, eg, OO perspective

Costs:
- Less able to exploit current trending topics
- Teenagers are very fashion conscious - they may reject the 'dated' language as irrelevant

It is possible that SK PAP politicians are just damn good at their jobs -- The modern history of Singapore does seem to suggest this.

My personal yardstick for judging a healthy and mature democracy is counting how many times political power has changed hands without violence -- Singapore is yet to score after 60 years.

It matters, in certain contexts.

For example: a large number of clustering methods boil down to matrix factorization, with variations in the constraints. If you have both domain understanding and a general understanding of what kind of output these variations are likely to result in, you can often narrow down the list of methods you need to try.

Also, interviews.
This is solid advice, as a founder i always hated people leaving without me having the chance to fix the situation. It’s hard to keep a tab on everyone, so raising it and giving them the opportunity to help should be well received (and if it isn’t, by all means leave!)

I'm also thankful for HN. I've been coming here for about a decade. It's one of the few sites or communities I've visited for such a long period of time consistently going back to the early to mid 1990s.
