I've always kept my screens dark, save for web browsing. Mainly its because I started in the terminal days, and I didn't care much for having a flashlight in my face when things got graphical.

Likewise, here's an article that says staring at bright screens damages your eyes: https://time.com/3257927/you-asked-can-computers-ruin-eyes/ This is as good a reason as any. Take care of yourself by having the hippest looking screen in the office.

Sorry, I didn't see your question. I check the posts on HN very regularly. The title of the post made me think that people might have been talking about SingleFile.
Sometimes, friends of mine tell me someone on the Internets is talking about SingleFile :). I also sometimes use the integrated search engine.

Great advice there.

As a hiring manager myself I really hate it when candidates slag off their current/former employeer. It's a real put off. However if you can turn a negative experience into a positive then it shows that you're not just bitter and/or a bad team player but rather that you use all experiences to help enhance your capabilities as a productive employee.

Not OP: Seems a reasonable hypothesis with the proviso of "avoiding commercial competition". Competing academically is different to competing commercially/financially and it seems reasonable that those who've mastered working in academia might struggle to adapt to corporate or other non-academic roles?
Yes, and it's entirely doable. In case of my own Org Mode notes, I could probably hack together something that does that pretty quickly in both directions (move the note from source file to Org Mode, and display notes from Org Mode inline in the code, at appropriate places). A small alteration could make this work with an issue tracker API.

But that would still be very fragile. I don't think there's a good way to record spatio-temporal coordinates of a piece of a file in a way that's resistant to changes. The usual way is to record file position + preceding and following context, but that'll break whenever someone does some bigger changes immediately around the note you're tracking. Perhaps there is some good trick to solve this, but you have to ask yourself - why go to all this ridiculous amounts of trouble to avoid putting TODO notes in comments? It's not like most of them would fit well in an issue tracker either - they tend to be too small or too context-specific to form a nicely packaged unit of work, and making this level of detail visible to managers is just tempting them to cause a disaster for the company.

So have I. For research jobs. Please show me the general programming jobs that have phds required.

A calendar?

Yes. I'm surprised they could develop it as quickly as a year in fact.

Calendars are difficult, there is a lot of hidden complexity in the way that users use calendars. They are iceberg products, they look simple from the outset but if you try making one you'll run into the myriad of edge cases.
For 1 person, you can keep most of it in very short form. Currently I use github projects for a prioritised list of items to do, a new board per release and an ongoing Evernote file for notes & ideas.
There is:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_Flight_72

Edit: To be clear, while this was 10 years ago and noone died, this incident seems to me to be a bit worse than the issues with the 737 MAX in that with the A330, there is no shutting off the systems that caused this issue, as they are part of the flight controls. Fortunately the causes were investigated and while the exact cause of the issue was not identified, the computer systems were updated to deal the fault scenarios identified in the investigation.
Simulation is massively used in chip design these days. The hardware they use is just the cheapest general purpose compute hardware available, so just normal server/hpc setups, so this guess was pretty close:

> A massively parallel server farm that collectively pretends to be a 100MHz(??) chip?

... except that you are greatly overestimating the speed at which such simulation can run. The full-chip silicon-level simulations ran on massive datacenters run at speeds measured in kHz, not MHz. For the kind of testing they are used, this isn't a major detriment, as so long as all the io is slowed down to match, they can still get an accurate results, they just take a bit longer.

A lot more simulation happens at the subsystem-level. You can isolate some subsystem, such as a cache controller, and then manufacture traces of the communication it does with the rest of the chip. Then you can just simulate that part at much lower cost, do tweaks, see how the operation changes under the simulation, and repeat.
I've been through the Ph.D. process and while I agree that stipends should be larger, it is not insurmountable. Specifically, what you're missing is that stipends are a 9 month salary and that many students, including myself, take summer internships that make up the difference. I was paid $23k in stipend a little over a decade ago. I also worked for a technical employer for three months each summer that paid about $35/hr, which brought in about $17k in additional income. Occasionally, I would work a month in the winter as well to bring in additional income. That said, I was making about $40k a year at the time and I know for certain that salaries both at my university and for said employer have risen.

And, yes, my final year I did not work the summer in order to finish my thesis. Yes, I understand that not everyone has the luxury of additional employment. However, it is not a truism that those of us who pursue a PhD must sacrifice their personal life or career prospects. It improved both of mine.
It can, but the exchange rate is terrible.

“I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.”

>Statistically cas9 is barely worse than just be born to a late parent.

Depends on what's being mutated. It seems likely that 1. random mutations with catastrophic outcome would be negatively selected for evolutionary, 2. Humans try to meddle with genes that may be disproportionately important.

So I'd put the risk of gene editing quite a bit higher.
Power users often make it a priority to shut off in-product metrics that would represent their needs statistically. Since ‘power users’ as described are probably 0.01% or less of the world’s population, that’s probably less of a big deal for decision making than it sounds, but it’s always interesting to me to watch a subgroup dedicate itself to not being counted and then complain about the outcomes as if they didn’t contribute to their own workflow’s downturn.

HN is not small by any measure. It is often featured on the first Google page. The HN hug of death is just as real as the Slashdot effect.

It is quite obvious when companies who think these sites are relevant for their social media is featured. Suddenly a whole lot of upvotes comes along. Make of that what you will. Personally I think it is naive to believe that any open community is free from bought votes.
Good advice in many cases - although academia has never been much of an 'industry'.

In Vojtko's case, she was an 80+ years old French teacher. How many 'other opportunities' would you suppose were open to her? Obviously her loyalty and long service were being taken for granted.
Ahem. I've just uploaded that folder on kesiev.com and updated the README.md accordingly, following a just opened issue. You're right about documentation. I'll try to add some kind of that when I've some spare time. :)
Not sure why you are being down-voted, most research is done in teams, and the likelihood is that a good team has a person who is good as writing grants applications, and having such a person enables them to maintain a team.

The structure of post-grad programs is fundamentally different between the two. In the UK you generally have a Master's already before beginning a PhD, while in the US you typically enter a doctoral program directly from undergrad and pick up a Master's "on the way".

6 years is probably pretty typical in the US for the sciences. For the humanities it's generally even longer (often due to the need to work to support oneself due to lack of funding). I recall seeing somewhere that the _median_ history PhD takes 11 years.

Edit: seems I misunderstood the UK structure, perhaps I was confusing with continental Europe? Not sure about the time difference in that case.
I’ve tried almost every tools out there but for some reason the one that makes me the most productive is just a plain old pen and a notebook. It is what keeps me in line and focused.

I don’t even write much useful stuffs on it but it keeps me actively engaged on my tasks. So I just have it next to me at all times.

I don’t even look at previous pages so I tend to write what I need to be doing that day.
This is what I do too. I tried using things like Trello but found the friction to be too high. I use org mode instead of a regular .txt file though.

>any solution which relies on "doing the right thing" (ethics) but does not have any rules, laws or other repercussion for abusing it...

Doing the right thing can vary by culture, perspective, and situation. What is right or wrong to us may be entirely different to someone who's family is starving as just one example. Given the world-wide nature of the Internet, as a species, it is unlikely we are going to be able to agree on a single set of rules or punishments within our life-time.
I thought we were talking about science, not spycraft or non-independent emissions testing?

An independent science lab causd the VW scandal by publishing independent measures of emissions. That's one way the process of science corrects itself.
Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this sort of research is necessary. The sooner we are able to genetically engineer improved humans - first eliminating the incidence of genetic disease and second making overall healthier, happier and smarter people - the better the world will become.
Is this punishment because he was caught or because it was on "acceptable citizens"? Yes, I'm referencing the stories coming out of the concentration camps in China and ethics related to organ harvesting, etc.
I might do that after I'm done with the code and about to commit it, but in my experience, there's very little overlap between the kinds of things you'd want to track on your company's issue trackers and the things you want to just jot down inline with the code. The latter tend to be too small.
Same here, though I handle the ordering loosely.

Basically bubble sorting the list frequently based largely on a combination of impact and what I feel like doing at the moment.
No offense to the author, but it might be poor teachers.

My high school chemistry teacher was one of the best I've ever had. She made it very fun, and had a stream of kids taking her classes and ultimately getting 4s and 5s on the AP chemistry test. It was so much fun I spent a semester as her lab assistant.
I lost a lot of faith in Proton when I learned how much funding they took from the EU. It just runs entirely counter to evidence we’ve seen of Snowden, 5eyes/14eyes, and other programs that the EU truly wants end to end encrypted comms for people.

Salary means a lot of different things anyway. If someone asks me (and I need to provide something), I'm going to put down some rough total comp number that's at the high end of what I earn in a typical year. It's not going to match whatever is in the system as my nominal "salary" which really isn't all that relevant.
Ah, I see. So the labs you refer to were trying to make this work? I'm curious what sort of performance level they achieved, even if eg just multiples of single or tens of bytes/sec.

Thanks for the info.

You can replace chemistry with math in his article (and he sort of mentions this in context near the end). I can't remember once being shown the physical problems that drove progress in math until I reached calculus. I remember being bored to tears in algebra 2, a class which was basically being taught as linear algebra + trigonometry. It wasn't until the following summer that I discovered 3d transforms, and a bunch of other applications of all that matrix manipulation and how all the sin/cos manipulation helped with RF electronics.

Back 25 years ago I was convinced that that entire class could have been taught as an extension of more concrete subjects (electronics, computer graphics, signals, etc) that simply weren't taught in the high school I went to, despite the fact it was what we now call a STEM magnet school. Classes I later wished I could retake, if only to pick up on all the math subtleties I mostly ignored because it all seemed so pointless.

Now that I have kids, I see that nothing has really changed. Sure they get a lot of "word problems", but the problems are so artificial they might just be worded as "what is the result of adding A and B and dividing by C" for all the natural concepts they get across.

Thankfully I had a pretty reasonable chemistry teacher, who did a lot of demos and gave us interresting experiments to keep the class from being a bunch of random facts.
Then why are we not fixing the problems that exist instead of plastering the hole within HTTPS? Or is that the best we’ve ever going to have?

Corporations have ruined the internet yet we want to support them more. I refuse to gander anything created by the Linux Foundation. I dislike Linux. Would be my first point. Once upon a time I never held that view, but I do now.

I am happy to have a good-faith discussion but as I am currently on limited time. My objections on the whole matter may sound cynical but are still valid. We are ignorant towards security and a big hack is bound to happen sooner or later. All battle grounds have weaknesses.

That's overstating the "case" (pun!). Ignoring or normalizing case is different from ignoring a non-redundant URL with uppercase.

But it might cause problems if the IIS server isn't properly case-preserving to normalize back to the standard (possibly capitalized) form.

Mac filesystem was nicely case-preserving but case-agnostic in this way, going back decades.

You use Snowflake for OLTP? Can you comment more on how/why?
Yes. At that point in time, these comments are by definition a list of things that still needs to be done. Removing that will lead to forgetting it, and may create a false impression that the committed code is 100% complete.
Same for me. I feel like all these tools just get in your way and you end up spending more time writing cards and todo items than actually crossing them off the list.
If memory serves you can create a Google account with your existing email address. They won’t create a gmail account for you, but you can still use other Google services with it. I’m guessing it’s worth trying with your Android phone?
Just realizing that stuff won't get done automagically.

Some problems will actually solve themselves if you ignore them long enough, but some other will come back and bite your ass really really hard. Since you can't usually predict what case will it be, it's better to handle stuff yourself.

Long story short: there's no easy magical solution, life is hard and work expands to fill al the available time. You have to sit down and get shit done.

Corollary: I've also learnt not to take commitments that I'm not 100% sure I want to (or can) go through till the very end. You don't have to delay stuff you don't have to do.

Corollary (2): it's fine to drop stuff, especially stuff like side project or personal stuff. In a work setting things are a bit more difficult, but saying "I am having trouble meeting this deadlines, please let's re-discuss it" or "I am overloaded, you'll have to assign this task to somebody else" is generally better than delivering two months late. Good managers appreciate this.
A major problem I've seen with Engineers following a TODO-like tasks is that you get lost in the small things and lose focus of the bigger picture.

While they are useful, I also try not to forget things that are vastly outside of the list like regular user testing, talking about it with other fellow engineers (dev testing?), try to make a workable MVP and sell it early, etc.
Ask people who work in any field that does have blind review, and they'll tell you that it isn't actually blind... you can make good guesses on the author list by examining the description of previous work, the reference list, the style of the writing, etc etc.

> My point is many people don't have the privilege to do so.

But I don't think this matches up with what I know from reality. People get a stipend for a PhD. Yes it's not massive, but it's enough. I think all student loan systems that I know of have repayments means tested, so you don't have to repay if your income is low.

Maybe you lose some income opportunity, but I don't see how makes it less accessible as long as the stipend is enough to live on?

A PhD seems particularly accessible to me, actually! More accessible than an undergraduate degree since it's all paid for!
There is no chip. No one has ever presented a single board or chip as described.
I use Bugzilla to track both bugs and other wrok-to-be-done. When I close an issue in BZ, I also add a reference to which version control check-in addressed it.

Using Bugzilla as a general issue tracker makes it easier to prioritize both bug fixing and feature changes, as well as keeping a database of what work I've done, and when.

I also have a big picture sheet for tracking multiple tasks at a high level. Each column is a project, and each cell is a milestone/task currently being worked on for that project. They are color-coded. If yellow, they're being worked on. If red, they're blocked by others. If green, they're done.
I don't think the knight is any more weird than the pawn. It's just weird in different ways. Pawns can move up and capture on an angle. Can en passant, can become another piece.

The King and rook can castle which involves moving multiple pieces and over each other.

So there's a lot of weirdness. But that's not to say this isn't a fascinating or worthwhile investigation.
>> Limited resources only limit limited brains.

Okay. Here's a test I would like to propose to the author of the piece. If you have children, ensure that they spend their first 16 years of life malnourished, deprived of emotional and intellectual stimulation and deprived of any education. I would say that that would put them in a situation where they have "limited resources".

Then let's see how their brains develop. If they're smart kids, they should grow up fine, yes? According to the maxim at the top of the article, anyway. It doesn't matter if you don't have anything to eat, if you don't have anyone to care for you and don't have access to a good education: if your brain is not "limited", then you should thrive anyway.
