Why All Augmented Reality Startups Suck
Agreed.

I have found myself paralysed by procrastination at times (normally when whatever project I'm currently on has lost its initial zing).

My strategy has become: Just do one task today, that's all. Doesn't matter how small. Leave the office feeling like you've done something productive.

My thought process then becomes, OK, let's do my one task early then I can browse Reddit/HN/wherever.

And of course, what happens is that that one task gives the ball its initial push, and becomes 2 tasks, or 3, or more.

It doesn't always work, but it helps take the expectations and guilt off yourself, and gives you space to breathe.
I doubt that the data flow will be contained within these "mini companies". Formally they are the same company and even with the inefficiency of large corps, I doubt that Google doesn't have the capabilities to efficiently exchange information.

That aside, I do not want to rely on the inefficiency of internal processes for data protection.
It's for the reasons you mention, that Beethoven inadvertently created dissonances and curious harmonic choices that he's considered the original modernist composer. Personally I adore his later works for this reason - somehow, they make sense to my modern ears even though I agree with you if he had his hearing he would have corrected many sections.

Also bear in mind that Beethoven was obsessed with the idea of variation: he took a theme and knew how to run with it. So in his later years, I expect he was also open to much more experimentation. One of his great themes is in the opening of the 2nd movement of the symphony #7, which one of my favourites of all my many favourites of this exquisite human being.

We built an app* for this and use it ourselves - it's very effective. I have tasks for working (even a token amount) morning or night on a side project, working on the biggest roadblock task I have, and things like that. The app splits tasks into a "front six" and "back six" so I have six focused on work/business and then six focused on home (reading, trying to learn a language, etc).

I remember at one point having 'walk x steps' and 'read x minutes' as daily tasks, so I'd often be walking around the house while reading just before midnight to make sure I kept my streaks alive.

We can ban anything we want but countries still make them and force the hands of others to counter it. How many hundreds of thousands of tons of chemical weapons still exist?

Just making the illegal more illegal does nothing but mollify a few here and there but certainly lets politicians grand stand as if they accomplished something.

Weapons of war deserve no mercy, since these robots will exist then the only logical solution is design systems to take them down. Weapon systems can certain be designed to take down anything mechanical and ignore people. If anything depriving the petty war mongers out there of their weapons to use against people might be the only worthwhile outcome of this technology.

There is a famous anecdote, probably apocryphal, that illustrates well his politics.

".. Goethe and Beethoven, who were together at a spa resort when they unexpectedly met a party of German royalty on the street. Goethe deferentially stood aside and removed his hat, while Beethoven kept his hat firmly on his head and plowed through the royal group, forcing them to make way—which they did, while offering the composer friendly greetings."

Beethoven also led the way in piano technology, demanding that manufacturers increase the loudness and range. He would publish music that required more and more range, which would encourage musicians to buy new pianos. As such, Beethoven had very good relations with the manufacturers who often sent him pianos to try out. Jan Swafford's book "Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph" (recommended above) has many more wonderful stories, I can't recommend it highly enough.

cool script ... really digging this approach of cutting out the middleman and roll your own devops code without the baggage of Ansible or such ... in my current startup I initially wrote our server side from scratch then need some way to deploy from laptop onto our remote vps servers so I started simple and wrote a set of bash script to deploy our git repo, recompile the project up on vps ... since its grown into an uber script with can start from a freshly minted virgin vps box and finish with our entire site running on a set of containers with the webhook running auto kicking off a recompile/deploy ... oh and it spins up all the ancillary servers like mongo, nginx, haproxy as well as a devops container to orchestrate the machinations as the system gurgles along post launch

now I'm liking this side of the shop ... devops demands a much wider girth of problem solving skills which is an evergreen role with tons of freedom and challenges
It doesn't always work, but at least you've done the one task. That's one thing you can tick off the to-do list, regardless of how productive your day has been otherwise.

As a lifelong realist (= pessimist) this is one of those things I struggle with too.

I think that's a lost battle now -- the Terms of Use / Privacy Policy of pretty much every online service, important or otherwise, says the same thing. For example, from HN's own terms of use:

Don't tell Europeans/Scandinavians about that. In Finland there is now massive Epic rollout in the capital region (costwise it looks like $1bn or more) and most likely also huge installation coming up In Central Finland (Its either Epic or Cerner).

I recently remembered a site link I had "saved" somewhere to view again later, but when I went to look for it later...

I realized it could have been a browser bookmark on mobile, or a different browser bookmark on desktop, or maybe just a tweet I "liked" for easy finding later? Or maybe it was a question I starred on StackOverflow to find later, or possibly I upvoted it on HN to "quickly" find later, but was it an HN submission or a comment? Or maybe I emailed it to myself, as I often do, and it was in my inbox? So many places..

I'm looking for recommendations for an easy way to save any link from any device and quickly view it later (i.e. not a text file in Dropbox). I don't want to be tied to a specific third-party service, like a browser sync, especially since different browsers perform differently on different devices and I don't want to be tied to one browser.

Any suggestions? I'll be sure to bookmark this thread...

There's no shortage of flight search engines that will let you know what airlines fly between cities [including nearby cities and connecting flights] and what flight arrival and departure times they have over a given week, completely for free, with up to date price info. Can't think of any normal trip planning scenario where I'd rather browse a chunky book to obtain a flights longlist and then phone a reservations agent to ask for quotes for each flight on it instead of hitting the query tool on Kayak/Skyscanner once per city pair and seven day window and getting all that information with availability and price.

Though timetable enthusiasts can still buy paper guides from OAG for a lot less than their data in usable-for-analysis form, apparently.
Most of the code that changes global interpreter state does so in predictable ways that are perfectly fine, so I don't think what you're suggesting would actually make much change.

Most modern Ruby code avoids monkey-patching "unasked" unless that is an explicit purpose of the project and using the gem is explicitly "asking for it" in the first place. Providing modules to include or making you explicitly call methods or explicitly require files documented to do optional monkey-patching has been the idiomatic way of handling it for years.

Adding the ability to explicitly provide guarantees that the required code is sandboxed might be useful and might particularly help tooling reason better about the code, but it would have quite little practical effect on most modern Ruby.
> As a back of the envelope calculation, take the compiled binary and tarball it. That's the smallest you should consider even possible

This is 100% wrong in practice! Binaries are almost always larger than the source code they are produced from. Just as when implementing math in code, the code always takes up more space than the equations it computes.

Higher abstraction enables higher "compression" (but this is different from the formal Shannon / info-theory meaning of compression...). If go to the realm of maths, you see that the sky is the limit.

The source coding theorem is useless when talking about code and not static data. Code encodes "how something is executed" or "what happens", not "what information there is somewhere". Execution depends on DATA plus CONTEXT. By creating a smarter and smarter shared (between multiple programs) context of abstractions, source code size can get smaller and smaller (while the executable code size is upper bounded by the fixed context of the hardware executing it - you can't write code that rearranges the atoms inside a CPU ...yet) by pushing stuff "out of the program", abstracting it away into the context, and you can "violate" the source coding theorem all the time, because what you're actually encoding is not purely data/information, but something way trickier, which we are not yet capable of formalizing mathematically fully... it's about encoding "behavior that produces a subjectively desired outcome", that's what most practical programs do in the real world, a very very small part of it is "unambiguous clearly specified" algorithms that could in theory be formalized well enough to represent as "data"...

> And yet women managed to exist in outside society and participate in all kinds of actions in the 60s and 70s for example (including protests, acid tests, trips to India, and all kinds of stuff), under much worse conditions (re: average societal sexism, etc), without all today's drama.

They were much more effectively silenced or persuaded to put up with it, yes. That's how you avoid drama: find the person with less power in the situation and threaten them into shutting up.

Just recently there was a thread on Asimov pointing out that his harassment of women at SF cons was an open joke. The BBC's re-broadcasting of the popular music programme "Top Of The Pops" has been affected by their decision not to show episodes presented by known sex offenders - this took out a huge chunk of the 70s episodes presented by Jimmy Savile and others.
Knuth suggests, in TAOCP, that the best way to write a program is to write it once, scrap it completely and rewrite from scratch. Very much in line with spending an entire semester making one perfect program vs spending a semester writing and rewriting new programs from scratch.

Depending on which source you use, you can find numbers quite a bit higher than that - especially if you include unknown/unconfirmed early-stage pregnancies. This source seems to hit the lower end of the range:

Curious: why isn't all porn sites sued for this? I don't quite get why they're only going after PH? Is it because it's harder to win a case against 1000 websites? Is it because it's more overhead to go after multiple sites and they expect the biggest return on investment only going after the biggest one? Anyone smarter than me who has a take?
Why Apple CEO Tim Cook Invested in a Shower Head
As a law student myself I have to disgree. While in many cases legislators want no variability of interpretetion, in some few cases variability is intended (for bad reasons, mostly).

Lawyers actually like variability of interpretation, since it allows for flexible arguments. This is especially true for common law countries, where law is systematically interpreted by the courts, very often following arguments of lawyers and/or scholars.

You see, language is a social construct and can never be as accurate as mathematics. You can define an interger very rigourously, but you cannot define language that way. Yes, there is grammar and such things. But it‘s very dynamic. And I didn‘t even start with „meaning“. There‘s a very large debate in philosophy about what that even is.

> Because they are designed to be quiet and still provide good flow of air they produce almost no pressure differential to speak of and the flow can be halved by a wire mesh that is a bit too dense

There are high static pressure fans which address this problem, specifically designed to work with pressure differential, usually used to blow air through radiators for water cooling. The fan linked in the github page (Noctua NF-F12, the "cheap fan" in the picture) is such a fan, it provides a static pressure of 7.63 mmH2O, which is very high.

Edit: you can get regular-sized 12cm pc fans that need 48 watts and rotate at 7160rpm, move 7.160 m^3/min air at 35.877 mmH2O static pressure:

My trick to start emails is to add To and Cc last, when I'm happy with the email.

If I add them first, I worry that I'll click send by mistake halfway through my draft (and a secondary worry is that the draft will be full of inappropriate stuff and curse words, which I never add even to drafts, so it's not a rational thought). If I add the recipients first, it also feels like they sit there looking at me expectantly as I write, which makes it harder.

An email not addressed to anyone, but of course with the recipients in mind to adapt the content, makes it easier for me to treat the first version as a draft.

Sleeping on non-urgent emails sounds like an excellent idea, because your view of the issue may change.
nitpick: in this context, you would want to use the word "cue" not "queue". "cue" => signal for an actor to go on stage or whatever. "queue" => orderly line of people waiting to buy a movie ticket.

I think women (and men) need to know that miscarriages are very common and completely normal. My wife had, at least, one before each of our children (possibly another very early one). The vast majority of the time, when they occur, it is as you say: they weren't viable in the first place. For that reason, in my mind, you aren't pregnant before about 11 weeks, and I think it is perfectly fine not to tell anyone earlier. In fact, I think it is advisable not to tell anyone earlier than that.

I am sure it affects everyone to some extent, women and men, and some more than others. I would never tell anyone that what they are feeling is wrong. Just know that you are not alone, not by a long shot.
In particular, another failure where systems used random sensors. If you have critical system A using sensor A and critical system B using sensor B exclusively, great, you have now doubled the chance that a sensor failure will impact a critical system.

It was even more idiotic with the MCAS system that would apparently pick a random sensor on every flight and then use that exclusively, which is of course strictly worse than just having one sensor to begin with.
