I am diagnosed ADHD.

I find that music keeps the distractible parts of my mind sufficiently busy for me to deeply concentrate on a single task. I am hopeless without headphones.

I continuously twitch my one leg, a coping mechanism I picked up when I was very young.

Finding a new job that stimulates you might help, or carving out a piece of freshness (invent/identify a problem and solve it) in your existing job - that will force you to learn the codebase as you improve it for your pet project.
Same, on my course the introductory module was C for intro to programming principles and then Haskell (!) to introduce the functional paradigm. Starting out by learning a language that doesn't abstract anything away from you is certainly the way to go I think, helps you to realise there's no "magic" happening.

My one criticism of the blog post here is that it settles on Scala as a good introductory language. Although I love Scala, it has so many features (many of which are "magic") that it's very easy to lose sight of what's going on under the hood without going into very deep technical theory well beyond the scope of an introductory course. C seems like a much better intro as it can be used to teach the basics of control flow while, as you say, introducing lots of fundamental concepts, without layers upon layers of abstraction getting in the way.
I wish we could do this on web, and see what location data we were going to send if we granted the permission.
Google's top search result for "buy smartphone" is Pixel 4.
This is not a book full of "scripts," but will hopefully help inform future actions:

The "Please stop. I've got this." is an action-oriented message that is conveyed before the action. It says "I would like for you to do X because of Y." It is conveyed in an imperative structure, which is used for a command or a request. "Please stop." <- request. "I've got this." <- followed by a rationale for your request. The request is conveyed first, followed by the rationale for why you are making it. "Do this. Here is why." The "I've got this" also carries succinct subtext of "I agree with you that our son crying is a problem that someone should take care of, I just think it should be me instead of you."

Conversely, when you say "I was going to get it," it is a declarative message rather than an imperative message. It does not tell your wife what you would like for her to do. It is merely additional data that does not help her make better decisions, which means it is mostly useless for her. An extreme comparative example is looking at a person who has just burned their hand at the stove and then saying "that stove appears hot."

Humans don't like to receive an array of "reasons" data before they've received the "request." We don't like statements in the form of "because of Y, Z, A, B, C... please do X." Our subconscious can typically detect that we are receiving a stream of "reasons" and we are starting to brace for the "request" (because the request might be unpleasant).

People like to know what others expect of them. Your comment says you would like to know what your wife expects of you. When you follow the <command> <rationale for command> order of operations you are giving people what they want (what you expect of them) followed by your reason for wanting that. When you go in the opposite order, you are conveying the converse: "I want something of you but I haven't told you what it is yet."
> Health care. Private companies are overcharging people and have made health care(hospitals and medication) unreachable if you don't have your costs subsidized by your employer.

Medicare for all is one of the most important policies to alleviate pressure on lower-income people. Even for the middle class, the freedom to change jobs or take time off without fear of disaster will take such a load off of society.
Or you can simply move somewhere else where life is cheaper, a place that nowadays isn't sustainable because currently the local job market is nonexistent. UBI can solve that!
You've stumbled on the python list: https://lucidindex.com/python

It's not 'technically' part of selfhostedsource, but there's one database shared between selfhostedsource and lucidindex so it's pretty easy to get results from other lists

I'm definitely for prison reform, and for mitigating wealth inequality. However, the fact that our prisons are overcrowded and we have a lot of poor people in our country does not excuse crime like this. Burglary is not comparable to a non-violent drug offense, for instance. It is an invasion of someone's property, privacy and well-being. It is more comparable to rape than just a simple drug offense. I have no sympathy for thieves and I'm fine with wanting them to be locked up away from society.
I worked as a welder in a shipyard for a couple of years after the .com crash.

No complaints, I actually enjoyed the work, but it was exhausting in a way that no office job can compare.
The experience also makes me want to throttle folks who have never lifted anything heavier than a pen as I hear them whine about utter trivial things.

I don't, because it is considered rude to throttle one's co-workers.

The urge remains.
It's not hard to review your own code. You just need to sleep on it, spend a weekend, then come back. Guarantee it'll be like someone else wrote it.
How can anyone categorize AMP as evil? They are improving and leading. No one needs to use Google, they have alternatives. This is how things evolve. Someone else will create another amp alternative and things will change later. Netflix was #1, then Hulu, Disney, amazon video came. No one lasts forever, everyone needs to evolve and this exactly is what google is doing.
Years ago a place I worked had a team where a manager asked everyone to spend a day documenting stuff. I think it was once every months (??) but they had document stuff all day days.
> I've been using the web on mobile connections ever since I got my first iPhone in 2008.

Okay, great. You had one of the most powerful phones at the time. How was the experience for people with a "feature phone" in 2008? (I'll tell you from experience, it was terrible).

How would the experience be today, with your iPhone from 2008? Terrible. Why? Is the web more powerful as a result? Can you do more things? Nah, it just looks flashier.

There is a lot of lithium about, just not a lot of stuff that is easy to get at. The cost of lithium isn't a huge part of battery cost at the moment anyway (10s of dollars per kilo with about 50kg in an ev battery).

I did have access to a cluster of GPUs through my professor's lab so compute wasn't as much of an issue.

Out of curiosity, what was the specific hardware you used? Some V100s, or maybe a DGX cluster?

Also, how many days did it take to get the loss down to acceptable levels? Did you aim for a loss of ~2.5, or less?

For now I'm trying to train it via 100 TPUv2-8's thanks to TFRC. Unfortunately, each TPUv2-8 is roughly 11x slower than a K80 GPU. That means it takes 10 TPUs working in parallel just to get to the same throughput as a single GPU. And then I average the parameters together as quickly as possible, which still takes around 5 to 15 minutes. (Training happens in parallel to all of that.)

It sort of seems to work, but it's hard to get the learning rate right. If it's set too high, various TPUs diverge. Too low and the loss stays constant.

But I imagine I'll crack it one of these days...
> it's not like you can't design super lean websites anyway.

Sure, but people don't.
I'm surprised to see Singapore behind some other countries. It's the main official language. When I visited Singapore, every person and group we overheard spoke english by default and with the same level of proficiency as american or british people (no accent). Also, everything is labeled mainly in english and only optionally in one of the other 3 official languages.
Why would you expect that? He’s been given opportunity to acknowledge the problems with McKinsey and he has avoided the issue.
Yes, and many more cause carrier mutations that won't surface until the next generation, or late-onset metabolic or neural disorders that will cripple the individual later in life, or increase mutational load resulting in much higher chance of cancer. The fact that some mutations are benign and others fatal really doesn't change the issue that we don't yet know how to safely edit the human germline.

I don't think things are so black and white. In my opinion this research has so much potential to improve humanity that it's unethical NOT to do.

There was no broad knowledge of it

Now, ask yourself why you were unaware of it, bearing in mind what your choices of news/information were at the time.
I would say they need someone with real marketing experience. Someone who can define a target market and write for that person.

I could be the target market here. I have a desire to look good for work and casual situations but absolutely no fashion sense. I hang out on HN. ML powered fashion sounds great! But then I go on their website and it looks like it's for 13 year olds who can read at a college professor level.
Lithium is reasonably cheap already, and is in that stage where a marginal increase on scale brings the price lower, instead of higher.
I was a McDonald's cashier many years ago in high school. I could not figure out any possible way to make it work (in the sense of being able to rent a minimal apartment and feed myself). At the time I think my salary was $5/hour and they wouldn't schedule more than 20 hours a week ($400/month). the managers (all of whom had gone to "hamburger U" in Chicago) didn't seem to be doing well, either- they worked 80 hours, often driving between multiple stores all over the state every day.

The only person who seemed to be doing well was the person who bought the store as a franchise. When I quit the manager said "I couldn't cut it as a cashier".
I've assumed so, but I'm not a scientist by trade and never looked deeply into it. I just know that over the years I've crossed paths with several papers that showed infection of gametes (usually sperm) by common viruses and often gave them a cursory look. These papers always catch my attention because what I was taught in school never made sense to me. I mean, I know gametes are in some ways more fragile than most cells, and they are clearly isolated to an extent (for obvious reasons), but the imperviousness I was taught seemed unlikely and unsupportable. And because of that I've always been especially skeptical of arguments premised, directly or indirectly, on the extreme mutagenic fragility of gametes and germlines.

Well, it was only added in the latest LTS release, which was released a little over a year ago. (Or a few months before that if you used the non-LTS Java 10.)

It does make it much harder though and you can hide shenanigans in encrypted communications during seemingly benign situations where use of location data is expected.
While true, it’s great to find someone else has done all the legwork on how to cancel a shit ISP and switch to a better and cheaper one.

Or pre-wrote everything one needs to complain to the regulator about a bull-shit charge and get their $ back.

It certainly takes a certain mindset to take advantage of the above, but making it easier encourages it.

The above are two things I’ll be publishing tonight. There’s a few hundred thousand people in my mom’s town that suddenly have a decent internet option.
Dunno, but all kinds of things could happen with novel co-dependent alleles with devistating effects when the express. Imagine theres a cool gene edit in 100 years that lets you live to 200 easy and it becomes normal for most people to get it. But, it just so happens that thers an early gene edit that was available 20 years from now, less ethically created and expensive. but hundreds of thousands of people get that first life extender.

Then, turns out the better / safer one 70 years from now has a co-expression with the decendents of the people who got it 20 years from now that makes you infertile, senile, or whatever.

thats the danger. If these edits become available broadly, youre not only worrying about co-expressions of edit genes developed at the same time, but edit genes developed at any time in the past (oh and also the rest of the human genome, which we still dont understand fully, and is a base concern for any gene editing whatsoever)

Isn’t Google basically an add company (if you go by their revenue). A search engine provided by a media company or ad company. I’m curious what people think the debate is between these.
You can self host AMP. It doesn’t have to be on google’s servers.
If you host your model on GCS instead of S3 you won't have to pay transfer costs, and it should load much faster on colab, too.
I'm not a web developer, so I wouldn't be the best person to ask, but the key aspect is that the server pushes data to the browser as soon as it gets it rather than waiting for it to be requested, right? You could call it "low-latency push" or "low-latency remote interaction" or something like that.

Or you could cut to the chase and call it "websockets." socket.io supports other technologies for ancient browsers, but that's a detail that could be addressed in the post.

> I do support UBI too but it seems like an extreme stretch to say that is easier to sell than EITC. Especially when you consider that EITC already exists today as a federal law, and UBI does not.

To do what the person I'm replying to wants, it would be on the scale of UBI/negative income tax. Otherwise, its not the equivalent to $15/hour when they are being paid $10/hour.
Amazon Echo devices are so cheap that Amazon probably isn't making any profit at regular prices. Amazon is practically giving them away to generate more sales, more lock in and collect more data, bringing them well beyond a replaceable online store.

Of course when the devices are heavily discounted on Cyber Monday they are among the best possible deals (in terms of hardware per dollar). The only thing I know about that matches this is Valve selling Steam Links (last year) or Steam Controllers (this year) at 90% discount for mostly the same reasons.
I heard they even have toilets at workplace.

I'm going to go the other way and say that white, older, rural, conservative Americans care about child care as much as anyone else. And if anything, older Americans have a habit of donating their time for free child care.

I share this view myself, neat to see someone else feels the same way.

I'm a CS student and I've been working at a Panera for about a year now. I love my particular store and the work environment is great; I genuinely look forward to going to work every day. I'll miss my coworkers when I have to quit soon to start my programming career.

That being said, I understand why those jobs could never realistically pay anything near what a good software dev job can. If you could make the same amount of money working a job like that, why would anyone put in the effort to get stressed out as a programmer? It wouldn't make sense.

The solution is to fix dev jobs so they're more balanced and less stressful :)
> Why should a company pay their single, infertile, gay, older, or otherwise childless employees less for doing the same job?

Essentially for the same reason billionairs should pay wealth tax: these single infertile gays are using the benefits of living in society.

This is, of course, a question deserving a more articulate answer.
> Does GPM let you move the insertion point in nano or vim?

If you enable mouse support. (set mouse for nano and set mouse=a in vim).

> Have you ever gotten GPM to work with X11 or Wayland?

That'd be rather... Pointless. X11 and Wayland already allow the mouse to work without GPM. Just enable the mouse in nano, vim or whatever, and it'll work.
Your labor was freed for more productive means, presumably.

As far as I can tell it comes down to their perception as a status symbol and/or buy-in to the apple ecosystem. When you're using apple everything an iphone might make sense.

I imagine cities will stay centralized. There is some money selling electricity from large plots to small ones (and apartment), a nice amount of it on selling from houses to industry, and a huge amount of it on intermediating the PV and storage transactions.

But cheap batteries will probably means a large downsizing on the large distance distribution grid.

I also have a personal website and I just... don't put any analytics on it. Genuinely curious: what do you get out of having analytics on a personal site?
Yep. After trying all sorts of browsers for months at a time, I've come back home to Firefox. Despite Mozilla's occasional off-track behavior (Mr. Robot add-on, Pocket, etc) I still think they are hands-down the best option.

That's truly saying something that if Firefox can screw up every now and then but still feel worlds ahead of other browsers in terms of their approach to web browser building, and that's how it feels to me.

Chrome auto-login was the thing that made me leave Chrome for good. That was the turning point, and it's been a long time since. Manifest v3 is just another nail in the coffin for me personally.

Negative ghostrider... being patient is why traffic has gotten to the point it is today. Too many people have become comfortable with the status quo and that is why things move at a snails pace.
The question is if it requires more effort than using the cash register.

I agree the kiosks are a bit harder for a customer to use, I accidentally ordered something like 80 chicken nuggets the first time I used one, simply because I tried to add extra sauce.

I still prefer them because it's easy to have a bunch of kiosks which means there are shorter lines.
