> “The ultimate minimalist is a hermit, a recluse, or a monk,” he says. “And to me, that’s not gonna change the world.”

chinese historical/wuxia dramas often heavily feature taoist/buddhist “grandmasters”, who typically have (near-)superhuman abilities (from years of meditation on enlightenment, presumably). yet they’re reluctant to use those abilities because they also strive for detachment from the world and its base human emotions (for some reason that’s required to reach immortality).

the tension is often between allowing destiny to unfold without interference and staying on the path to enlightenment, or defying fate and risking heaven’s wrath. there are adverse consequences either way and it’s a test of character which way one chooses.
What is poverty in this respect?
That fact that the many industries, most importantly the financial industry heavily rely on it makes it an important part of history.

I agree cobol as a language is not particularly glamorous in terms of what it brought it computer science. I say this as a cobol dev, so I’m laughing, but it’s true: cobol sucks.

Firefox Sync used to use J-PAKE but switched to a different mechanism later on (not sure about what is now used). Is anyone familiar enough to offer insight on why it was dropped and what replaced it?

I don't collect things I "need to get to", if that makes sense. I collect things I'm willing to spend time curating, which generally means they go in a file somewhere under a directory called "References". References means music I like and art I want to study and writing I want to return to. If I want to have a log of what I was interested in, I privately journal about it(Which I am happily using Penzu[1] for).

The trick to all personal information management, which recurringly appears in HN threads on the topic, is to focus on your filters, not your collection. You collect hastily, in anger; you are not a professional archivist with respect to your own collection. You will misspell and missort. But it is easy to punch "Save As" and get it in a file somewhere with a few words to search by. And so the filter, the post-hoc, is the greater necessity.

Fortunately, when it's in the form of files, you can apply a mix of hierarchy, tag and search methods. There's software for this. I currently use TagSpaces[0]. I don't spend a great deal of effort manually tagging, I just organize a little bit of hierarchy and throw some keywords in the filename.

As well, I expect to lose a little bit of the paper trail at times. Precise origins and authorship are not always accessible. Redundancies may occur. The point of the curation is to make a useful product for yourself, one that accommodates many informational needs - to collect ideas, create a course of study, or put yourself in a particular mindspace. You have many years to keep developing it.

In my former life I was a graduate organic chemist, but I “quit” with a Masters. I loved Synthetic Chemistry as an undergrad and thought I wanted a PhD in. There were three lousy things (for me) about the career that made me bail.

1). So many syntheses have horrible yields just like this one. You’d start with grams of material to end up with micrograms. I loved solving these problems as an undergrad in books, but reality was far different. You don’t think much about side products until you start doing novel chemistry.

2). So much trial and error. There were happy go lucky chemists that fell into projects that were smooth as butter, while brilliant chemists would toil 12 hour days to try and something to write up as a thesis. I was neither brilliant nor lucky and took 4 different projects over two years before finally landing on something marginally MS worthy. They need a journal of failed chemistry because only the working stuff gets published. So many failures could be logged so I didn’t waste my time doing non-working or poor yielding reactions.

3). Suspicious results in journals. I would read about a reaction and someone would put a 75% yield as their result and I could barely get 20. I always thought I was just bad, but a really smart chemist challenged me one day and tried to do it himself and couldn’t do much better. He tried it 30 different ways over the year as he did other stuff. He never could get a good yield. We talked to our advisor and we wanted to challenge the result, but the advisor didn’t want to start trouble. It was past the time I decided to leave with a masters, but made me feel a little better about my lousy abilities. No one could ever possibly doublecheck every result from every publication anyways.

All this said, there are some brilliant and patient scientists out there that drive the field forward. Just a few rough around the edge items I’d love to see change.

For what its worth my QC35 right headset stopped working just a month past the 12 month warranty and I had no luck getting the issue redressed.

That's a rather early failure for ~350$ of hardware.
I love my QC35 headphones except one thing- the bluetooth range is very small, like 20 feet? AirPods go much farther from my phone/laptop without breaking up. If I just cup my hands over the outside of the right headphone, the signal cuts out. Or if I hold my phone in my left hand while walking, it cuts out some times. Sounds great as long as my phone is close enough though.

A reasonable appeal process and the ability to change managers or move to a different site.

I would build vocational training into this. You are in training either at your choice or as an assignment. Looking for another job would also be acceptable. If you don't have a GED, your only option would be training. I view unemployment as mismatch between the skills you have and the work that needs to be done or there is a slack in demand and we are trying to figure out what to do. I would build a strong scholarship program for those who demonstrate the ability for university level education. You would demonstrate that by your efforts in other training.

Making the pay less than minimum wage I think would be counter-productive. I would eliminate minimum wage and use this as a counter balance to compete with businesses that rely on minimum wage workers.

I've never learned a bit of Chemistry. I assume there are formulas to determine how substrates and reagents will react with each other? And the process chemists understand these formulas better than most?

Apologies for the assumptions in these question, but are there many reactions in organic chemistry that are completely unknown?

This actually seems pretty fun. I'd love to have a reason to study it and a means to do something with my studies.
While I don’t do it anymore, in my high school and college years I hunted quite a bit. Depending on the terrain, I would routinely have to pack out 100 to 125 pounds of meat uphill. Wasn’t running (sometimes shuffling if getting dark or starting to rain/snow), but that much weight on the back isn’t out if the norm.

Another anecdote - Up until this past year (I’m 43 going on 44), I was routinely pulling about the same weight as you. I peaked at 637.5 (which still wasn’t enough for a good placement in a meet). I never had back pains or joint pains like yourself. For me, even though I had no pain, the next day, after pulling 600, was just miserable. I had no energy, was sluggish, etc. And yes. I ate. When peaking, I was always eating between 3500 and 4000 calories at 195bw. So I’ve not dead lifted heavy in 6 months. The stress on my central nervous system just isn’t worth it anymore. I’ll keep my lift at about 350 for 10 singles. That’s more than enough for me at this point in my life.

You still need production at times and you don't want people losing momentum. It is hard to go from not working to working at a good pace. Keeping people in a working mind set I think is important.

I’m pretty new to bread making (like many I’m sure) but today realized I could use the oven to help rise, as our house is kept cool. Basically turn on the oven at its lowest setting for a few minutes and then turn it off, and let your dough rise in the warmer atmosphere of the oven.
In print design it’s very common to have a baseline grid, which is partially related to this. It really does wonders to the readability and giving a feeling of order to the page.

On the web it feels like such a pain to really implement something like that with dynamic page width and content. So in most cases i just nudge things and make sure they are nicely aligned where it makes sense.
I have a QC 35, and I have experienced some of the degrading of sound isolation. After some research I discovered than the pads account for much of it, and they degrade rather quickly, but not faster than any other headphone and I have very expensive headphones. My Sennheiser 650 is >400 usd and is on his third pair of pads.

The QC35 is so great that I developed ear problems for using them too much. So be careful with that.
Usually you just compile the code to get the copy books. Ezpz. But yes its common practice in my office to carry a thicc black binder around for each companies’ copy book.

I've been contracting lately and I'm on two active contracts. One of the two is winding down. I've been billing at $155/hour via an agency (to be clear, their fee added on top of that $155). They offered me $90,000 salary to go employee. They upped that to $100,000 when I said no (I thought we were done but I said no again). Their thinking is they can take advantage of the situation to get cheap engineering staff.

If you're running a startup and thinking that now you can get cheap senior engineers, you might want to consider that it might be true for those who aren't careful with their finances. However, the talent you attract with this method is going to leave as soon as they find a better offer.

I don't think most management teams are like this one but I'm amazed by the short term thinking. Professionally, I can't really call them on this behavior but I'm glad to have been saving for financial independence (now is the time to go back to working on my own things and yes, I do have a multi-year runway).
Tangentially: I have a ton of fun trying to figure out various events based on the memes and other references I'm exposed to. The most recent is Tiger King. My best guess at the moment is that he's a guy who went to prison for liking tigers the wrong way.

Surely there's other people who do this or some term for it. I feel like there's a fruitful cultural idea here. Kind of reminds me of how I know most of my dad's childhood TV shows because of the Simpsons.
What would be the right thing in this case?
Yes I have - and I had no idea about the issue or controversy until after the update.

I was in bed one night playing with the Bose app on my iPhone. It prompted me to do a Firmware update - I use these headphones A LOT - at the time I was wearing them for 6-8 hours a day for weeks on end and was very 'in tune' to their abilities.

It was very quiet in bed, I'd been wearing them while reading a book for an hour before - I did the firmware upgrade and immediately noticed a difference when they rebooted. I was very confused and started playing with settings etc. I then Googled the issue and realised how widespread it was...

The report linked is super interesting, but, I trust my own ears as a musician and I know something changed with the headphones 100%.
It seems to be more economical and safer to just put everyone in a bio suit and disinfect everything, which they do even in lesser clinics here. They're reusable in future pandemics too. COVID-19 is not the worst case.

In general I can appreciate the general tenets of minimalism.

It may be just my own pessimism but it’s seems to becoming a movement that requires you to get rid of things and buy new “minimalist” items to replace them.
Same for me. I have a German physical keyboard using the US layout, but with left-alt + the keys where the normally umlauts are allowing me to type äüöÄÜÖß and additionally „“‚‘ quickly.

But I've grown up learning programming on US-layout keyboards.

The whole nature of what property and ownership means tends to shift with large enough time frames. It wasn't that long ago that in many places it was difficult to be wealthy without being a noble. A mansion tended to come with tenant farmers and feudal obligations.

I've always thought at its extreme minimalism is for those who are rich enough they can buy two/three of everything (including houses and cars).

> And when investments come back — and it could take years, we just don’t know at this point the extent of the economic situation

Given unlimited QE and huge rounds of fiscal stimulus, the financial markets in major developed countries with debts denominated in their own currency are unlikely to suffer for too long.

Once there is a glimmer of hope that Covid-19 will likely be contained or its effects significantly mitigated, the flood of funds seeking yield should start to pour into discounted assets and other investments with good risk-reward ratio.

Looking at Germany and South Korea, mitigation through concerted efforts should be possible within a year or less. Pessimistically, if containment and mitigation fail, the population will have herd immunity by 1.5-2 years.
Well you can look at the structures on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Adenosin.svg and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Remdesivir.svg

There is a huge difference, the number is rather low, and should be noted, but none of those outcomes are good.
For all of these large, old organisations that still use COBOL, the risk isn’t that they run out of COBOL engineers to hire. COBOL is a very simple programming language, it was designed to be as simple as SQL. SQL was designed to be so easy that non-programmer business analysts could use it, COBOL was designed to be the same thing, but for non-DB business logic. Though you could debate how successful either of them were.

The risk these organisations face is finding people capable of maintaining their particular decades old COBOL spaghetti. Which is really just an ordinary key person risk.
Not necessarily a lack of wealth but a decrease in the material quality of life we take for granted.

For example, most people take having bread for granted. If you wish to become minimalist, the best way to attain bread is to buy it. If you wish to become self reliant then you must possess ingredients and tools for making bread such as flour, yeast, a pan and an oven. To be minimalist and self reliant you must forgo bread and eat instead for grain something like wetted millet.
This. Lots of cheap/desperate talent right now.
Agreed; all of complex scheduling solutions using RIC/RAF and priority queueing are probably not needed for 95% of webapps. The primary need is good state management and a good side-effect framework (e.g. hooks, lifecycle methods).

Not even remotely raw factual information. Heck, a table of numbers with a descriptive label probably is copyrightable, but you can scrape the table itself, yes?

I think the issue here is that I assumed a very narrow idea of what people would scrape; it hadn't crossed my mind to download prose or such, which I think is why we're arriving at different conclusions.

I don’t know if it was _this_ problem, but I had an issue after firmware update this week. I have had the QC35 II headphones since 2017, and I love them. I also never update software unless something is broken—I don’t care about new features, I just want things to keep working. This past week I had to launch the Bose app to reconnect my phone to the QC35’s and it suggested a firmware update. I very rarely launch the app, so I let it proceed. They became _completely_ unusable after the update. The audio quality was awful, and noise cancelling virtually disappeared.

I was able to determine that the problem was the QC35 microphone was stuck “on”, so it was attenuating the audio and amplifying ambient noise. I’ve had similar problems before with other Bluetooth devices and suspected that the firmware change caused them to identify or connect to the wrong Bluetooth device profile.

Fortunately, restarting my phone resolved the problem. I don’t know why that worked, and I don’t know whether it was the phones fault or the headphones fault. It just affirmed my reasons for avoiding software updates.
In terms of art, paintings used to be like windows into a world. Then, with modernists, paintings became less about make a picture (something the new technology of photography could do better anyway), and more about the object itself — paint on a canvas, hung on a wall. When art critics were talking about the “flatness” of a painting, that’s what they meant. The “flatter” the painting, the truer it was to itself — just a canvas covered in paint. Eventually becoming so flat that you’ve got a white canvas in a white gallery. Sculpture followed a similar trajectory.

In terms of Marie Kondo and decluttering, or Zen — I’d say there’s a difference between minimal and essential. One is an aesthetic exercise, the other is a goal of finding that point where it’s “just right”, no more, no less.
