Fellow Creatives, Is Your Productivity Suffering Because You Can’t Pay the Bills
Using Vim has helped my finger/wrist/arm/shoulder/neck pain and soreness, but you're on to something in that the real problem is probably more repetitive motions than any specific motions.

But Vim (and emacs) solves the repetitive motion problem by providing several means of readily repeating commands.

Most people seem to both type and use their mouse much more slowly than I do. And they also don't often have to (or want to), e.g. cleanup thousands of rows in an Excel worksheet, or have to repeat some kind of action in an app or web app dozens of times.

But I hate using my mouse generally. There are very few times where I want to use a mouse and having to use one, instead of being able to use the keyboard, is endlessly frustrating.

Thankfully, there are several great 'vi-style' browser extensions and there's even [Vimac](https://vimacapp.com/) for MacOS, tho I haven't tried the latter yet.
> We’re responsible for only 15% of worldwide emissions, but nearly all of the new green energy tech and research.

Is "we" the US? laughs

This sentence becomes more true if you replace "we" with "China". Because China actually contributed significantly to green energy tech by making solar panels dead cheap to produce. Or replace it with "Germany". In that case the number is way off (it's more like 2% of worldwide emissions) but the tech contribution holds up if you look for example at wind power plant tech development and having provided monetary incentives for decades already to deploy solar power at large scale (which in turn allowed China to drive down solar production cost by creating the necessary demand for products).

Where is this significant contribution of the US to green energy tech? Because I mostly see significant contributions to keeping the fossil fuel economy alive (large scale research and deployment of fracking tech, cheap gas prices, inefficient car designs and A/C installations anywhere).
Raising a seed round is harder than you think, YC as a product is meh and more
Operating nuclear plants are shutting down early in some places because electricity revenue has gone down because cheap fracked natural gas has brought prices down.

Trading perfectly-fine NPPs for fracked gas plants at this time in our climate history for 1 cent/kWh is a travesty.
we don't do retrospectives, groomings, estimation of stories, etc.
We need new programming models that make it easier to expose static parallelism to the compiler. Doing it all in plain old C/C++, or even in "managed" VM-based languages, cannot possibly work - and even conventional multi-threading is way too coarse-grained by comparison to what's most likely needed. Something based on a dataflow-oriented description of the code would probably work well, and be possible to integrate well enough with modern functional-like paradigms.

Two ideas to lessen the trade-off:

1. Use a browser extension that throws a warning on all unicode domains (maybe even with unicode highlighting). Drawback: Needs to be done per-device.

2. Let your pihole MitM all https traffic with a certificate you do NOT trust (maybe create one per domain, so you can add it to the trusted list); if the connection is over http, upgrade it to https (if the server doesn't speak https, proxy it). Drawback: It's much more complicated, and if your bank happens to be called e.g. "Bank of Zürich" you still need to take a look at the IDN to determine if you're on the right website (or add an exception).
The sad part is that the results of Fukushima ... might generally be a example of how safe / what the risks of modern nuclear might be as I understand it.

Fukushima was not updated like modern plants, and it did not experience a 'China Syndrome' type meltdown where the core melted and then kept breaking through all the containment material, rather it fused to the material (sand I belive) of its container and stopped indicating that even an old model nuclear plant might not ever experience a 'China Syndrome' type event.

Granted probabbly a really hard sell that a disaster might indicate safety.

> With wired headphones, people can keep them for years, decades even.

If you buy some top end headphones with replaceable cables and replaceable ear covers you can get 10+ years out of them. The majority of pairs I've owned haven't lasted near that long. About 2 years is pretty typical before I fatally snag a cable, drop them in water, run them over, or lose them. Even barring some kind of life ending issue, cables and ear covers don't usually last much more than 2-3 years for me, even on pricier headphones. I do have a pair of AKG headphones which have lasted me about 5 years now after replacing the ear covers (which is itself a form of e-waste), but since they are so bulky I wear them a small fraction of the time I wear my AirPods so it's difficult to compare.
OT -

My analysis is Iran's attacking a US base directly and ensuring of no US casualty was its best strategic option to avoid war.

1 - Iran had to save face domestically and regionally so had to attack.

2 - Most importantly, Iran had to immediately attack. With the calculation that many types of false flags or attacks against US personal by other entities would instantly be attributed to it.

A - Their foreign minister Zarif, made it clear that Iran will retaliate "direct and promotional" and not through any proxies, which was the same message signal by their Supreme leader[0]

B - After the attack ended, Zarif made it clear Iran is done with their retaliations[1]. So to avoid being blamed for any further attack that may take place in future date against US forces or interests.

Iran calculus probably was to avoid a high likely hood of attacks possibly orchestrated by Saudis or other entities (who benefit from a Us-Iran escalations) disguised as Iranian.

Having quickly retaliated, ensuring no US casualty and made it clear they're done, they're closing the door for getting blamed for false flags and trying to avoid additional escalations against US.

This signals a very rational and calculating player who doesn't want to escalate against US.

The question is how much US media would now push the narrative of crossing "red line" and forcing Trump to take escalatory military action.

One can even argue even this article uses a language like, "Iranian missile strike has caused extensive damage" and *"...show hangars and buildings hit hard by a barrage of Iranian missiles" to set the stage for US to take re-retaliatory steps.

I have a mischievous fantasy for situations where police use illegally excessive force for no-knock warrants.

It involves some combination of:

- Just inside the front door, a floor that's in the middle of being mopped with very slippery soap.

- Copious amounts of glitter and shaving cream. (I'm still working out the details.)

Note: I recognize that most police perform dangerous and necessary work. My fantasy only applies to police committing criminal acts.

Plausible line of thought.
Natural Gas is also load following and plants are efficient at a much smaller scale, which means it is easier on the grid and makes more renewables possible. Moving from coal to gas enables solar and wind.

I personally think the US or Canada should build massive LNG plants in the PNW, and export gas to China. It would help the nasty particulate problems in the cities, and also make their infrastructure more amenable to renewables.
Maybe they're rare because the government's efforts are effective?
All these 4 points are valid and did help golang but I think what took golang to the moon was:

- the immense success of docker based on it which made everyone build their devops tools in go (kubernetes helped too later)

- a very solid and stable http library included in stdlib (plus other networking goodies to easily run your own ssh endpoint in a few lines of code)

tl;dr to get your language some traction, make it solve at least one problem much better than the competition and have someone build a super popular open source project on it.
> if nationalism vexes you then i challenge you to reflect on your own loyalties/commitments.

I agree, but just because the psychological mechanisms that give rise to both humanism and nationalism are related, doesn't mean that we can't make reasonable judgments about which is better than the other, especially when the nationalism is of an ethnic or racial variety.

Yes, this is important. I learned a couple of decades ago that I am happiest when I'm working with people who are a bit more skilled and knowledgeable than I am. Not too much -- that's hard on my ego -- but some. Working with such people means that I have to stretch myself and gives me an expanded pool of people I can learn from, so it makes me a better dev.

You can imagine how that’s an artifact of a more socialized health system. Perhaps unintentionally, it would function in many ways as a cost saving feature that would be very difficult to implement in the US system. Think about junkies.

Imagine the legal implications in a system where hmo and insurers get to influence the decision about who is committed.

The article misses to mention that Germany is actually quite active in fusion reactor research (eg. Wendelstein 7x the world's largest stellerator was just opened a few years ago). Its yet to be seen if fusion power will ever reach production level. But stating that Germany cut itself off of nuclear energy research is not exactly right.

I don't think it's contrary at all, but rather complementary. The quoted lines don't say that all of society becomes one, it says larger groups of people are exposed to the same information and thus makes their behavior similar. These groups of people are the bubbles and echo chambers that become blocs of people with similar behavior and ideas. You yourself show how the two ides work together:

>we may have access to the same information flows but everyone has their own bubble, typically part of an ideological camp.
50 years ago, NATO doctrine was the use of tactical nuclear weapons, but only in response to being overrun. The idea being that a Soviet invasion of Europe was an existential threat. We either do this or all die.

But these guidelines were documented and well-known.

There's a good case to be made for the use of tactical nuclear weapons at some extreme case, the nature of that case might vary. But it is very important to make sure everybody knows what conditions have to be met for this to happen.

We have many more weapons that are much more dangerous than tactical nukes. If we want to isolate them because of the fear of escalation, that's fine. If we want to include them in the mix of options that's fine too. But what we can't do is keep potential adversaries in the dark and then spring them on them. That's because the problem with nuclear weapons is their unlimited ability to quickly escalate destruction. That's the much more severe problem to deal with than what kind of guts make up a particular delivery system.
I haven’t seen any reviews taking into account the price of unregistered DDR4 RAM at the densities required to use these things. AMD is suggesting 2GB/core or 128GB, but these HEDT CPUs cannot support the typical registered RAM used by server memory kits and require unregistered desktop RAM (for market segmentation, you see) which can be (depending on SKU) quite a bit more expensive. I feel any price comparisons with Epyc or Xeon need to take that into account.

With the rise of esports there is a lot of money to be made with no real consequences. It isn't illegal to essentially steal prize money by cheating at a video game.

Also game streaming is big now and being "good" attracts more viewers so there is also a lot of money to be made by cheating.

I have completely stopped taking video games seriously in any capacity as I am pretty confident the entire culture of competitive gaming is completely infested with cheating.

Having a noxious gas sensor in a coal mine is not at all the same as tracking methane emissions from a fracking operation, which can occur over many square miles of the surrounding countryside (the whole point is to fracture underground rocks containing hydrocarbons, which then seep to the surface).

Trump administration is currently getting rid of all rules about methane emissions, so producers will have zero legal requirement in the USA to track, identify, report on, or prevent any methane leaks.
That sounds to me like a serious over-estimation of the capability and accuracy of these sort of ballistic missiles.

"Perception is reality."

- Lee Atwater

"One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one's perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them."

- Tom Robbins

"One may reasonably ask: Why do people cling to the values and practices of the past, when they so obviously no longer work? Long-standing thought patterns are hard to overcome because they often appear to serve the interests of the individual, and old ways of thinking are simpler and easier to handle. In a two-valued way of thinking, as in good and bad, right and wrong, love and hate, cause and effect, very little logical analysis is involved."

- Jacque Fresco

I think also out of the box standard library features. You can make production ready web apps. Also their initial approach to getting / sharing packages imho is useful.

I for one would love to see new browsers come forward and explicitly state that they are not implementing EME in any way, and see just how that plays out.

ftfy.

The truth is that we could reduce emissions by living less affluent lifestyles, like, say, the 1950s. Smaller houses, fewer per capita miles driven, little or no intercontinental or transcontinental flights, less meat. But we won't. We cannot step off the hedonistic treadmill, even for a second, or the economy will collapse. And we can think of nothing worse than the economy collapsing. So we create a false dilemma, an impossible constraint system. So we will fail.
