Wow, I didn't expect a four year old project of mine to hit HN front page! If you're interested in this, you might enjoy some of the stuff we're working on at Figma. Here's a link to learn more: https://www.figma.com/careers/
Yeah, I used to have a dumb terminal on my desk, and I used the macro functionality inherent to it to semi-automate all sorts of workflows for myself, it was very very helpful.
A lot of his power comes from the insulation he receives from those around him. Generally this reliance leads increasingly to paranoia and in large part this is why we're seeing these crazy headlines. See Peter Falk in "The Mirror" episode of the Twilight Zone.
When I first enabled iTunes cloud backups years ago, it did exactly that — gave me the choice of letting them securely store a copy of my cloud encryption key, just in case.

I didn’t take that option, but the option was there.
Ask HN: How to Beat Boredom?
When I come home after work, it usually happens: I get bored. I keep asking myself "What should I do next?". It's hard to think that this is a "privilege of a free mind" and I know this is a first-world problem, but it doesn't help with the fact that feel bored. I'm not really satisfied with the situation. I'm not stressed, nor depressed — just bored. Any help?

Thanks, fellows!!!
No browser does immediate submission of canvas draw calls. They all appear synchronous, but the reality is they are all queued until the end of a browser main frame, or until your code does something silly like reading back a pixel.
They don't inherently conflict. Emotions can be logical, so it can stem from both at the same time.

That is, a logical emotion isn't necessarily a contradiction. Procrastination may be more heavily dictated by emotion and that emotion may exist for a logical reason that has deep roots which you still need to introspect and resolve. The emotion itself has a cause. I view the two as more likely to be deeply connected, rather than two things to be regarded separately.
Interesting topic. This among others is one of the reasons we started building Harvest. Just as with Google Analytics, you can start tracking data with just a small snippet of Javascript.

We use Splunk as our data engine and you can install it on your own server. This way you have full control, access and ownership of your data without letting third parties get any data. In that sense Harvest is basically the infrastructure that allows you to collect, store, use and visualize your data.

Besides that, we have been focusing on features that will help companies comply with privacy regulations. It is proven that this is not always easy in the complex world of online data.

It's not just small cities that counties are useful for - Los Angeles (the city) is really fragmented, snaky thing while Los Angeles (the county) is actually geographically coherent.
I have a "Raspberry Shake & Boom" (https://raspberryshake.org/products/raspberry-shake-boom/) set up in my basement. It's a Raspberry Pi-based seismograph and infrasound detector.

These are its live feeds:

For anyone taking a look at the feeds, depending on the time of day they can show tons of noise from the surrounding neighborhood. But the device is pretty awesome, I can generally detect quakes over 6.0 anywhere in the world.

I find it hilarious that no one does this amount of 'critical thinking' with their other classes and instead gobbles up the dribble from professors in technical subjects.
Net immigration is also declining.

There is no indication I can see that these trends will reverse. If anything it seems like the rates of decline may accelerate more rapidly like they did in Japan.

Perhaps when the boomers die off the next generation will open the borders so someone can pay for their entitlements. Perhaps.
> It’s madding that apple doesn't invest more in its browser and yet pretends to care so much about privacy - of the major three browsers - apple definitely _seems_ to underinvest when it comes to web technology...

Well, WebKit came from Apple’s work on KHTML. So Safari, Chrome, Edge ...

”KHTML and KJS were adopted by Apple in 2002 for use in the Safari web browser. Apple publishes the source code for their fork of the KHTML engine, called WebKit. In 2013, Google began development on a fork of WebKit, called Blink.”

— https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML

That’s not that long ago in browser families, and 2002 - 2013 is 11 years of investment in web tech that now everyone else built on. And they didn’t stop investing.

Some of those investments:

- It’s mostly been the least battery hungry modern browser (by a long shot) on the most wished for dev laptop, and in many cases, the highest performance.

- The bookmark and tab sync across devices is seamlessly slick. I regularly end up maxed on tabs (it’s in the 100s of tabs open at once) and can access any / all of them across all devices sharing iCloud account. Also appreciate that across all kinds of devices, you can save all open tabs to a folder of tabs, then close all tabs, and immediate get at those 300 tabs in the bookmarks from another machine. All those bookmarks are searchable too. None of this slows it down.

- Built in reader mode works beautifully. Reading List is there too.

- Saving a web page to file can save clean reader views into full length PDFs. They’re amazing!

- Interacts with keychain, essentially has LastPass “built in” if you let it store passwords on your keychain.

- While I miss UBlock Origin, ad blockers like 1BlockerX work great across iPad, iPhone, and MacOS. (See also AdGuard for Safari.)

- ITP performs better than one would expect for something you don’t think about at all, while not breaking most banks, which I appreciate.

- Safari never kills my iPad, iPhone, or Mac. Once in a blue moon a terrible site makes me ‘eject’ Safari from running apps on iOS. Launch it again, and all your tabs etc. are fine.

There’s a lot to like, except it’s not super tweakable, or basically “it’s not Chrome”. Even there, most devs or tech geeks who grump at Safari and reach for Chrome, have no idea of the lineage.

Doesn’t seem fair to call it under-invested in.
Check out Sao Paulo - it was over 500MB! Was very impressed that the map still rendered and was responsive on my 4 year old laptop too.

The point is that 15%>>5%.

If being 15% short is a not-so-good idea, that’s the situation now for people who entered a 5% nothing-to-worry-about short a few months ago.

Should it triple again in the near future, the short would be 45% of the long position (and they would be sitting on a huge unrealized loss).

Being right in the long term is not necessarily enough for a short to be a good investment.
> the aircraft propulsion method described in the patent is indeed possible

from that patent - they describe there spinning the 2m diameter disk at 30000rpm (ie. 3km/s edge speed):

"... we obtain an energy flux value of 10e33 W/m2. This exceptionally high power intensity induces a pair production avalanche, thereby ensuring complete polarization of the local vacuum state."

i believe it - 10e33 W/m2 can do a lot (it is total power output of a million of Suns concentrated into 1m2), and such EM field would interact strongly not only with the Earth magnetic field, it will do it with just sheer vacuum as well (that is the point of their patent is that vacuum isn't really a full vacuum according to QM).

So everything seems ok from the pure math EM/QM formula POV. There are i think only minor pesky practical details - like the material able to withstand 30000rpm 3km/s rotation while under the 10e33 W/m2 EM flux (the flux which would tear apart atoms and may be even protons/neutrons) and a compact energy source doing all that while fitting into the 2m diameter disk.

I just installed my first iSize isofix car seat in what is a very normal sized Toyota hybrid hatchback that had served us well for years before having children.

I had zero inkling how much space these things take up. With a very ordinary baby seat (not obviously bigger than any of the other 10-20 ones they had at the store) we had to move the front passenger seat so far forwards that it is basically impossible for anyone "tall" to fit in any more.

I am now relectantly planning to buy a larger or SUV car simply because we can't fit anyone in the pasenger seat when we have the baby seat installed. Thought about putting it in the front passenger seat, but it would probably obscure vision.
When the president of the United States gave him a pass, it wasn't because of his bloodline but the fact he was willing to spend a few billion dollars on purchasing some army equipment.
In Julia, it is C = A + B too. (You don't need the elementwise operator ('.') if the operation is a well defined expression in linear algebra.)

Your comment bring back Microsoft's Project Bali news from my memory [1]; this supposed data bank allows users to "manage, control, share and monetize the data.". That was bit than year ago and it seems they abandoned the idea as page doesn't load anymore (at least for me).

Conscious world models are thermodynamically favored because consciousness helps organisms stay alive and copy themselves because awareness of oneself allows one to more easily maintain homeostasis and because simulation of the external environment allows predictive modeling of future fears and hopes.

If some feature helps organisms increase their number, then we should expect to see it. On the micro scale, nature works by accident, but over evolutionary time scales, nothing is accidental; consciousness evolved for a reason.

we should expect aliens, even alien robots, to have consciousness, because conscious alien robots would leverage consciousness to out-compete zombies.

Also, we should expect businesses which develop artificially conscious robots to outcompete those who develop zombies (in the long run)

I always chuckle when someone says in a TV show, “oh, that robot is just a machine.” So is the human body!
I think the title is misleading.

From the article:

Pain in mice triggered the release of adrenaline and cortisol, making their hearts beat faster and blood pressure rise, affecting the nervous system and causing acute stress.
This process then sped up the depletion of stem cells that produced melanin in hair follicles.
...
In another experiment, the researchers found they could block the changes by giving the mice an anti-hypertensive, which treats high blood pressure.

-------------

So, while stress may cause high blood pressure, it appears high blood pressure causes the white hair per the data in this article. I'm pretty sure things other than stress may also cause high blood pressure. From the article's title, they blame stress. What about all the other things that cause high blood pressure?

Then there is discussion on how to stop this from happening by blocking a protein which appears valid, but still a misleading title.
It’s even easier if you use 8-bit floats. Then there are only 256 of them and you can plot them all.
Consider two websites: website A and website B. Website A places no limitations on passwords except that they all have to be from the base64 character set, and be 1-30 characters in length (inclusive). Website B says all passwords must be at least 8-30 characters long and contain one number and one special character.

Technically, there are 1556820866911379157697368408533647424628560378091278400 possibilities for a given password from the first site, and only 1553740989173808677121103544993503115087947728215015424 for the second site. That's only 0.2% fewer total passwords. However, consider that the typical user's password is probably 6-8 characters and contains only lowercase letters; that means that most users from the first website have only 217167790528 possibilities, while users from the second website--even assuming they only go the bare minimum of 6 lowercase characters + one special character + one number--have 345985669120 password possibilities, which is about 60% more. And that's with the artificial base64 limitation; if you open it up to the full complement of 30 special characters it's significantly more.
Based on the anecdotes in the article, spiking cigarettes with marijuana extract actually had some success in getting some people talking.

Node JavaScript – Thread Pool Implementations
i do not favor this example either. to quit smoking is long term commitment to not do something anymore. When i am thinking about procrastination i think about tasks you can be done with. Even if you meant procrastinating before starting to quit i do not think it holds up as a good example because there is no way to be done with it and if i stop i restart at the beginning.
I disagree... The hope with competitions is that we learn something new through massive semi collaborative exploration. Raising the barrier to hosting useful competitions means we learn less.
I definitely understand. As I got older, I found myself doing the first type of procrastination (the do nothing type) more and more, and after talking through some things with my psychiatrist we came to the conclusion that it's because that bad feeling you get after the second type of procrastination (the do something else type) started overpowering the good feeling of doing something, so I would end up paralyzed and doing nothing more often.

Now, on the good days I actually do the things I want to do or need to do, but on the days when I procrastinate, I tend to do the type where I do something else. The days where I get completely paralyzed are far less frequent now. Part of it is the medication but another part was learning to control my guilt and anxiety over not doing what I'm "supposed to." This is why I tell people that medication is not a magic solution to your problems, it'll help but you'll still have bad days and it won't work automatically, you still gotta put in the effort to get better, the medicine will just help a bit with that.
Near the end of your first paragraph sounds a bit like what a lot of people say about narcissism.

This whole song and dance is absurd. People are currently flying with their cat or whatever as a 'service animal'. It's pretty normalized and to be expected to see while traveling anywhere. Why not just let you fly with your pet to begin with?

Yes, mediation, mindfulness and several other techniques for controlling emotions were things that we tried with my psychiatrist. Meditation didn't really work for me but mindfulness sure did.
More likely than not, its easier for a liar to get by in densely populated areas. Get caught in a lie, or marked as a liar in a small town can hurt social standing.

However, I wonder if this changes now with social media - for better or worse, accusations (true and false) are quite quickly thrown.

It's like being angry at HTML because it's not a programming language.
Everybody suffers from low self-esteem at some or the other point of life. Recognize what skills you think you lack and work on them and eventually you'll pick other skills along the way. To start off with this, you've got to be optimistic even in the worst of situations.

A few potential explinations are

Sometimes you need to travel with your pet. Unavoidably. Maybe you can't afford to kennel. Maybe you are moving. There are a thousand variables in this as to why an animal is brought from one place to another, and the way we do that long distance is through air travel.

Already it's normalized. No one is protesting in the streets about a cat aboard a plane.

Screeching infant, however? I'd vote to kennel.
You have two options:

* DOI Numbers, which uniquely identify scientific papers

* "Paper style" citations, with Authors, Title, publishing Venue and date. This is enough for any interested reader to find the sources

I would not recommend hosting copyrighted material in a personal repository.
I feel that the author saying LaTeX is bad because it is (in particular) not based on a GUI/point-and-click system, and preferring Microsoft Equation Editor/Outline to it, reveals a big misunderstanding.

I also don't see how Mathematica's notation is any better; I view it as way worse.
I really looked forward to the Portal series when it was announced but honestly, this episode just has the same issues I had with many of the ones before.

Constant meta talk about what is allowed to say and what not, Eric framing himself as a sort of outcast and renegade as if he's a north Korean dissident mostly because there's some schism within arcane academic or public intellectual circles and so on, and on occasion almost venturing into conspiracy territory.

It's good when he's talking to someone about issues leaving all the constant drama out, the episode with Tyler Cowen was quite good mostly because Tyler has a very good sense of shutting this stuff down and just focussing on interesting stuff.
I would argue, it will crash. But not anytime soon. More around 10ish years or even more.

It's nice, simple, boots fast. Uses runit as init. The package manager, XBPS, has a funny name which I always misspell, the tools are separate like legacy apt-get, apt-search etc and it's CLI is a bit like pacman's, as in not quite the user friendliest. Package number is comparable to alpine. It's probably a bit like a modern Slackware.

Kotlin and Swift fall short on memory management and both need runtime and GC. Currently Kotlin native is an order of magnitude slower than Rust, and Swift is also losing in benchmarks sometimes by 10x (although, not always - purely numeric Swift code is the same speed, because it is going through the same optimiser).

As for hardware abstraction - not sure what is your point - Rust can use any C API.
Can you export it to SVG? I can see this really helping Wikipedia editors.
The planning of housing stock is a seesaw. On one end, you have industrial capital, and on the other you have financial capital. Industrial capital will always lobby for lowing the cost of housing, as cheap housing will make it possible to pay out less in salary. Financial capital, on the other hand, will always lobby for increasing the cost of housing, as higher rents will produce more in return.

During the fantastic industrial expansion which characterized the growth of the world's great cities, industrial capital dominated, other than in very small pockets. Workers flocked to cities, whose planning boards were in favor of expanding stock -- so incentivized by industrial capital.

At some point during the last generation, the power consensus flipped: industrial interests waned, and financial interests exploded. In our new economy, financial capital holds all the cards. Predictably, planning has followed where the incentives are.

Making the world turn simply doesn't as many workers as it used to -- especially in cities. Industries that do require cheap housing stock for labor typically opt to build on the outskirts of town. So entrenched are financial interests.

The answer is to change the incentives. Tax the crap out of real estate, and the people who hold real estate. Let them put their vast wealth into sectors which actually build and invent new things to make our lives better.
Should we not bring our dogs anywhere in public then? The onus is on the owner to control their animal in public or else they'd get fined or whatever. Air travel should be no different than a park.

The beauty of communities like these is that I can make an account and talk about my experiences without tying it to my real identity. Unfortunately I don't have the courage to do that yet, it's easier to be honest when the stakes are low. Somehow, HN also seems a better place to do so, rather than a community dedicated to the disorder. Probably because it's mostly about other things and only occasionally warrants posting about my experiences when the topic comes up instead of being 100% about it.
