I don’t feel exhausted, rather: bored by fiction and non-fiction alike.

Having said that, it often feels like the internet speaks with one voice, even when it’s disagreeing with itself.

Rarely does anyone say or write anything original.

I guess HN feels more familiar though, more like family. And we’re probably driven by millions of years of evolution to seek that out.

Not interested in discussing consumer debt. Poster made it clear he was talking about learning how the business world works.

No leveraging with debt is not rare. Every small business owner I know uses debt. Some quick googling tells me the average for small businesses is $200k in the US.

You don't need remarkable discipline to manage it. It's pretty simple math. Fear doesn't need to come in to it. I'm not recommending everyone go out and redline their company with a ridiculous gearing ratio.

> Passively letting an uncritical experience wash over the mind

I don't watch much television but I think that consuming and processing narrative is not entirely passive. Your brain is still doing work to connect dots in stories, you're building internal networks of events and characters.

I think there's a lot more interaction on the receiving end there than you're giving credit.

Truthfully what television removes (though not entirely) from story processing versus reading is a huge chunk of imaginative work and some memory requirements.

Change control need not be onerous.

One important aspect of it is simply sharing that a change is going to be made. It stops a few of those 'if only you had told me first' conversations.
The issue isn't that drastic action is not/may not be necessary, it's that the vast majority of the population will not just 'give up on consumerism' for a perceived long term benefit, and any political attempt to make them will be met with a huge amount of backlash and instability.

If a political party or politician proposed what you're saying, they probably wouldn't get elected. If they tried it when in power, then the next party who gets elected would probably withdraw said restrictions. If they tried to 'turn off democracy' to do this, then people would get extremely angry, probably revolt and there would be a huge debacle. Especially given that worldwide, it'd be seen as an authoritarian coup in a democratic society, and responded to with economic sanctums, anger on the international stage and perhaps a war/support for overthrowing the government.

The problem isn't that such a dictatorship or authoritarian rule is necessarily against the long term interests of the population (though many authoritarian regimes (including China) would argue the same thing for their countries). It's that it's not democratic, not backed by most of the population and (perhaps rightly) seen as an alarming development in a country's history.
I haven't read the article yet so unsure of the context where "releasing the fascia" is used, however at least in fitness related practices, it means relaxing the tension in it - whether by applying tension to it say with yin yoga postures where you support the muscles with bolsters, blocks, or are in positions that aren't engaging them - and where you maintain a somewhat uncomfortable stretch into fascial layers. So releasing a muscle that's tight would be a similar idea.
I know of a couple of hotels that have added backup power. It's not cheap. We just got backup power (diesel) for our server room along with power conditioning because the power is not good. It was easier to go with diesel rather than wind/solar and battery both from an expertise and availability. Opportunity is not evenly distributed.

ELK can be pretty expensive and is kind of a pain to manage. for simple use cases though, hosted ELK by AWS should do the trick and wouldn't cost too much.
Small startups and dev shops should choose a SaaS logging too l since most of them start and 10$-30$ which is cheaper than anything you'll spin on our own.

Looking at the market right now, looks like logs, metrics, and SIEM are going to combine in the next 2-3 years.
By sensing, I mean just that, reading input. You mean reasoning/decision, I guess.

That would come from learned data, experience, imo. A child who's never touched a red hot electric stove, for example, would not have any bias towards it. No fear, no love, unless they previously interacted with one.
They would try and get close, watch it, smell it, touch it, to learn more.

The most interesting part of consciousness is how does one decide based on incomplete information? If you need to learn more, where do you find the raw information? It seems to be done subconsciously, some people have a higher affinity for learning/fact-finding than others. But all people are pre-wired to learn from others, distributed computing works best heh.

I guess you're asking the same question as me, where is this "programming" and how is it created? It's not just raw experience, it seems to be genetic/evolutionary. A sort of basic firmware to bootstrap further learning.

I find it fascinating, it would seem the brain never stops processing the data it acquires. During the day, and during the night, it always runs learning jobs.
But you haven't said anything here that discount that it could be, at least in part, due to fascia release.
Your comment started with the phrase "anecdotal evidence". Anecdotal evidence for what?

Note: I think no one is minding the unscientific nature of your anecdote. I just don't understand what point the anecdote is supposed to underline. Your grandma likes technology and therefore she likes technology? Or something?
There’s always outliers.

Some tiny percent of the population can smoke and drink non-stop, never exercise, eat shit constantly, and die by getting hit by a bus while jogging at 02:30.

Re: sizing: interesting, that’s the first report of it failing, I indeed should do a require desktop version. Are you talking about the landing page or the app? The app uses javascript to detect, the landing page uses page width.

Re:spelling, plural of proper nouns should use apostrophes I think, no? Eg “how many Airbnb’s did you book”. I’m not sure if making those proper nouns was the right choice, I wanted to highlight that they were terms in the app.

Anyway, thank you for the kind words and feedback!

OCP Makes a Push for an Open Chiplet Marketplace – WikiChip Fuse
Every xml file I've ever encountered was broken in some way or malformed compared to its schema. Manual adjustment was nearly always required in some way. (Yet they had schemas and full descriptions) JSON files come in all sizes and complexity but typically work better. Much easier to read/write using automated tools. XML is far too complex to read with simple parsers in a performant way especially when compared to JSON.

For data transfer now I'd actually prefer csv over xml due to the simple fact I can at least sanitise it. That is how low my opinion has gotten over years of data migration projects. In my new work I primarily work on JSON / csv / tsv and would not even consider xml. XML schemas have the idea of keeping data clean etc as well as guiding parsers etc but the added functionality comes at a price in performance and parsing complexity. I did find the xml transformation abilities useful however.

My personal opinions aside, friends of mine using java still swear by xml so if you're from that crowd your opinion might differ. I'm guessing the java infrastructure is more forgiving but its been too long for me to assume more than that. They obviously find utility in it: terabytes of xml is not trivial by any stretch of the imagination.
That’s a great story.

It allows the compiler to reorder it with any non-volatile read or write. Of course it still doesn't indicate anything to the CPU. In single-core embedded systems where the CPU doesn't reorder anything and you know the compiler is going to emit a single instruction for a read or write it can be sufficient (for example, this is how FreeRTOS implements all of its threading primitives)
>Immediate and delayed verbal verbal memory were assessed using a word learning task in which participants were presented with 10 common words by a taped voice, one every 2 seconds. Participants had to recall as many words as possible immediately and after a short delay during which they completed other cognitive tests.

This is the measure that declined in heavy television watchers. It is also a task that television watching doesn't require, since recall of previous spoken words is rarely needed to understand the next video sequence.

It's also a task that I don't do well on. I do much better if the words are presented in writing. I can watch a TV show and not remember a thing about it later. It may be a way the brain has of protecting memory from being overwritten by nonsense.

Because from what I've seen, it seems to struggle to understand even the most basic things, flagging contractions like 'I'll' as misspellings of 'ill', making grammar suggestions that ignore tense and struggling to understand the difference between a given name and brand/series one.

These aren't issues on Windows, or in web browsers. So why are they so buggy here? Is there a technical reason this is the case?

"Indeed, it is of note that other screen-based activities such as video gaming and using the internet which involve more interaction can in fact have cognitive benefits, leading to higher levels of frontal and central EEG activity(21) and enhanced visual-spatial skills, problem-solving skills and cognition in older age(16), suggesting that it is this alert-passive interaction that is a key feature of the effects of television viewing."

Also note in Table 1 there are activities such as "using the internet" and "reading a daily newspaper" that were examined.

Don't use userspace spinlocks on Linux.
Note: tight fascia with trigger points inside _cannot_ be released by stretching alone. Source: personal focus of finding why the hell my posture was crooked after falling off bike; after 3 years of weekly massages my therapist and me finally found a huge trigger point in a thigh. It took one-two weeks to release fully, and then my posture magically straightened.

People swear by trigger points , and as it is a relatively recent discovery, not every massage therapist knows about them.
Beacuse it would act as as an even worse sched yield.
It could even come with a "grow our own calculator" kit.
Except that the little fact that Android is not Android/Linux, rather just Android, in what concerns userspace.

Any kernel will do the job required by userspace, that is running ART, ISO C, ISO C++ and the set of Android native APIs.
> I don't really understand your criticism.

I think i understand what this is about. It starts with this code (inlined for brevity)

> QFont passwordFont = QFontDatabase::systemFont(QFontDatabase::FixedFont);

and this distinction of characteristics

> "fixed" and "unambiguous" are different things
(note: there is no QFontDatabase::UnambiguousFont)

and an actual bug somewhere else as the root cause

> broken in lubuntu 17.10: resulting font was neither fixed nor unambiguous.

which finally resulted in:

> this kind of utility needs the option to specify a specific font

but things got heated between "not a bug: fix your system" and "this utility can be improved" ending in personal insults and everyone being annoyed by each other despite showing great love for the application (just foss things)
(I'm the Defold product owner)

There's not a shred of truth in the above statement. We offered an OPT-IN analytics services that provided you, the developer, with install and retention numbers for your game. No one at King or in the Defold team ever looked at any data. King has hundred of millions of monthly active players of their own games. That's enough data. No need to try and steal data from anyone else...

The optional analytics service along with the optional project hosting was shut down four months ago.

We do use Google Analytics for www.defold.com and the editor. This is clearly stated in the terms and conditions. And it's pretty standard stuff in the industry to keep track of product usage like that.

> The idea behind this was that Freedom meant Freedom for everyone, not just Freedom for people we approved of.

It's not freedom for everyone. It cannot be used by those who do not accept the license. If they do accept it, it limits their rights to use, modify and redistribute the software within limits spelled out in the license.

"You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License"

Most people here refuse to understand that "freedom" can't be given by a license. It can stay the same, or become restricted (when a license imposes a duty or obligation on the licensee).

The ethical licenses are a nonsense. Even the name is awful (how is it ethical to attempt to restrict another person's freedom?)

From my own experience with "energy" I seem to be able to have a higher resolution experience with than most, along with my experience as a client for acupuncture, physiotherapy, osteopathy, and other - I think it will be an uphill battle to come to a scientific consensus as I don't believe we currently have tools to adequately measure what is happening on the subtle level of how energy flows or for what information flows (or becomes stuck/blocked). And what purpose is it flowing? It is just some form of static that we've evolved to ground literally into the ground - whether as a form of waste or perhaps more - and perhaps our rubber soled shoes most of society now wears for the majority of our days, at least when we're most active, plays a role in tension building and fascia-related dis-ease occurring and progressing?

Edit: Thanks for the downvotes and supporting philosophy and an open discussion for what hasn't been proven! You'd almost certainly also downvote theoretical physicists and people historically who brainstormed as to possible reasons the planets moved the way they did or other physics properties - examples of which exist where they wrote about where they had part of the idea right but not fully. How about adding to the conversation instead of being lazy and downvoting to suppress topics you don't seemingly have experience with? You know you could say "I don't have the same experience" or "I experience things this way". Or perhaps if you don't have any understanding or experience of related to things then maybe stay out of the conversation?
Wow why did I think proper nouns used apostrophes for plurals, oof. Fixed. Thank you and OP of comment!
Agreed, a an "unambiguous" option when generating a password would be nice, along with some colouring depending if it's a letter, a number or a special character would be nice.

> If these kinds of spinlocks are so fundamentally misguided, why do they only cause problems on Linux?

It is possible that, as explained by Linus, the Windows scheduler just doesn't ootimize for NUMA as aggressively as linux (which attempts to keep threads on their own cores as much as possible).

It is also as likely that, because on Windows games have been an important load for a while, the Windows scheduler likely bends over backward to support broken code either by penalising other use cases or by attempting to recognise this sort of spinlock behaviour and special casing it.

What sort of content do you say Tor onions can't host?

"Tor onion" just means that a server is (ideally) only reachable as an onion URL, which is only accessible via the Tor network. There is the limitation that Tor only handles TCP. Otherwise, one can route anything over Tor. In my experience, that includes HTTP(S), FTP, Tahoe-LAFS, SSH, RDP, Mumble, OpenVPN and tinc. And others, if I spent more time remembering what I've played with.
