you might have trauma (little t trauma), which feels weird to call trauma because its not obvious trauma (death, car accident, abuse etc) but still affects you a lot and your feelings are still just as valid and they are there and real.
Try to allocate a long time, like 2 hours to focus on something that you know you have to do. Observe how it feels physically, in your body.
For me, my throat tightens up and my chest gets tight and I feel like crying.
So I procrastinated for years to avoid feeling the awful physical sensations. I still do, really. They haven't gone away for me just yet.
First step is awareness, next is expecting the feeling, discovering what triggers it, making elaborate plans and tackling harder tasks in bite sized pieces. Force yourself to try and improve, because you have to, and soldier through the feelings like you're on the start of a long battle, or a long journey of self growth.
Thanks for your effort to reply. But I'm sorry: I'm not really convinced.

It's always this extremely paranoid negative view on governments that seem to fuel support for blockchain.

Obviously, there are some 'bad' environment, but if your mistrust of government is that bad, no blockchain is going to fix your problems.

I could be mistaken myself but I think a lot of people may on a fundamental level misunderstand how trust plays a role in our societies.
They are excellent questions.

Trading, economies were meant to serve peoples' wants and needs, but people serve "the economy", with no thought given to what the actual quality of working peoples' lives are like. As if the economy is the important thing, not human lives. There is extreme attention on "economic efficiency", no attention at all on the quality of the lives involved. We don't know where we're going, don't care whether the journey is pleasant or not, but focus on getting there as quickly/cheaply as possible. I guess that's easier to measure.

Also, modern economies rely on there being a pool of unemployed. If everyone could do 1, 2 or 3 part-time jobs, balanced how they like it, that would mess up the system. Anyway, the whole thing is designed to make the rich richer, whether underlings enjoy that process is not really relevant.

It's very common here in Switzerland. I could reduce my work hours to 80% without even needing approval from my manager. Many parents do some combination of 80% + 60% or even less.

I don't! For whatever reason, there is precious little information on the internet for running macOS in ESXI. I got the original idea from another Hacker News comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17766016 And then, this is what you need to enable macOS on non-Apple hardware: https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/files/file/964-macos-unloc... The rest is the same as setting up any other VM in ESXI with GPU passthrough, so you can read tutorials on that.

High Sierra and an nVidia card "just worked" for me on ESXI. (Sadly, Mavericks did not—I could not get the GPU to output anything—and that was the only OS I cared about—but you probably don't care.)

There's a lot more information on using KVM, so you may want to go that route instead. But of course, then then you need to use a Hackintosh bootloader like Clover or OpenCore. It was really cool having everything just install natively with ESXI.

You can lease airplanes, even with entire crews from pilots to stewardesses ("wet lease"). Legal compliance can be outsourced to dedicated law offices, local staff by local staff lease companies.

The biggest two issues when founding an airline are getting your hands on some money and finding a profitable set of routes. For what it's worth, it's possible to do this as a former formula1 racer (Niki Lauda / Lauda Air).
> But higher interest rates cause lower asset valuations, which increases the marginal utility of paying more than the minimum payment each month.

That requires having enough income to pay more than the minimum payment each month, which isn't really compatible with working less. And to the extent that this is helpful in allowing people to work less after the house is paid off, it would just tend to increase housing prices by a corresponding amount as long as there are still constraints on increasing the housing supply, because people would just bid them up by the amount that it's worth it to be able to do that.

> You can't take out a securitized loan to buy groceries, but everything that can be financialized shoots up. Even non-scarce manufactured goods like cars.

That's not necessarily the same thing though.

Suppose you can afford a $300 car payment and interest rates are such that a $300 payment translates to a $20,000 car. Then interest rates go down such that you can get the same car for a lower payment or a $30,000 car for the same payment.

Some people are going to choose the better car over the lower payment. That kind of looks like the same cars getting more expensive even if it's really people buying better, more expensive cars. Especially confusing when they're the same vehicle models but the later model years had a bunch of premium features added to them because the manufacturers noticed hardly anybody was buying the ones without them.

> I agree that increasing the supply of housing is a good thing. But you're never going to get rid of positional goods - few want to live in a tiny apartment their entire life.

You can't get rid of positional goods but you can move them up-market so they aren't necessities anymore.

Living in a tiny apartment with a long commute is terrible. People will be willing to work full time for many years to avoid it. But if you build a large number of normal sized houses or condos a reasonable distance from where people work, so that they cost the same as tiny far away apartments currently do, would people be so willing to give up years of their lives just to avoid living there instead of the giant mansion you could then get with two full time salaries?

Affluent people would then live in the giant mansions because they can afford it, and it would still be a positional good in that respect, but that doesn't detract from the dramatic improvement it would be over the status quo.

By contrast, it really doesn't matter what you to do interest rates, if building new housing is prohibited then the number of people who get to live in satisfactory housing is dictated by the amount of such housing that currently exists. Which makes everybody a lot more inclined to do whatever it takes not to be the ones stuck in the crappy housing.
If we would want these kinds of applications, I think it can be done with existing (simple) tech, bt doesn't seem required.

Blockchain solves one fundamental problem: trust. If you have a solution that fundamentally relies on trust and you want to get rid of that, Blockchain is the answer. If you're OK with trusting someone/thing, then Blockchain wont add any value.

The obvious and biggest application of this is money. The original Bitcoin use case. Today the banks handle all our monetary transactions and we trust that they don't act maliciously (we also do a lot of auditing/regulation/manual verification, but ultimately that is imperfect so it really boils down to trust). If you want to have a truly trust-less monetary system the only solution I can imagine is blockchain.

Another potential solution I can see for blockchains: Certificate Authorities. Today CAs ultimately roll up to one of a handful of root CAs. In other words, there are a handful of entities that we just implicitly trust. They get audited, regulated, etc, but ultimately we just trust them. If you want to move to a truly trust-less CA model it has to be on blockchain.

There is also a third, kind of cheat answer: automation. You obviously don't need blockchain here, but if you want to automate something and you need to get funding from a VC, or a boss, or anyone else, blockchain is a good buzzword to throw in there to get some extra $$$. This is less true since the crypto crash, but still provides some value.
It is worth noting that "The Australian Media" in this case refers almost entirely to Rupert Murdoch.

> Emacs and Emacsspeak in particular. Emacs is the richest text-based user experience out there;

My naive expectation is that non-visual editors like ed and ex would be easier to use than visual editors like emacs and vi, but I'm curious to learn more about how people work here. How well do visual editors interact with screen readers? The screen readers would presumably need to offer an interface to reread parts of the screen, and this seems redundant with the non-visual editors that take commands to print like ranges.
Those who control capital have decided that the human losses will largely be seen in the working class, who they see as expendable. People will die if the economy is re-opened, for them it's seen as an acceptable loss.

Look at the minority of people protesting the lock down, a large majority are small business owners who want their employees to get back to work.

Corona virus has effectively been a government mandated strike for labor (save "essential workers" at Amazon and the like) the likes of which the capitalist class haven't yet seen.

Author here!

This project includes a boatload of 3D models I've created in code and 3D printed over the past half year or so. It also includes a more recent ray tracer, which can produce some cool pictures like [1]. I've finally started stabilizing the API, and I'm excited to see what others do with it.

the argument against it [1] is practically that if it is being pushed by the current system it is to benefit the current system. As in, "uber needs a safety net for their drivers" kinda of vision, which given the track record in the US is very likely.

From the employee side, I’m not really sure there’s any benefit to being part time vs. going full free lance. You might think you have additional job security, but the part timer is the first one to go.
I feel like one of the biggest opportunities in the 2007/8 housing market short was the speed at which it developed.

More specifically: glacially.

Up until the credit markets froze up, all the information was available, with time to digest and for anyone to act on it.

That's the most interesting thing about this presentation. I'm assuming this or similar was the one dramatized in The Big Short?

It's simply saying that something doesn't add up. Then laying out its case for the numbers that were added.

At a macro level, there isn't much complexity:

(1) Home price appreciation is strongly inversely correlated with default rate.

(2) CDO are created with sharp risk cliffs related to systemic default rate.

(3) Current home price appreciation + observed default rate + CDO pricing does not add up. Ergo, one of those things must be wrong.

Sometimes you need to mentally bump your mind out of a rut to see why you were stuck in a dead end loop that made you give up.
It's extremely difficult to tell whether the number of cases are increasing, or if testing is revealing more cases. It sounds like a tautology, but unless you have a very strict, consistent testing rubric, the outcomes are hard to measure in terms of growth. At best you can determine total case count.
This could be because you were told you're a smart kid. Kids who are praised for intelligence over effort have been shown in some studies to pick easier problems and give up quickly if a problem is too hard.

Check out Carol Dweck's research. Here's an early article: [https://www.nytimes.com/1998/07/14/science/praise-children-f...]. Note that there are some criticisms of her work, and like many other studies in psychology, reproducibility is an issue. However, I found this quite useful in diagnosing my own thinking patterns towards effort.
This is trite, but the actual answer doesn't really deserve to be sent to the void. If you think you might have ADHD, get evaluated.

The ability to "deep focus" on problems while sitting at desk for 8 hours isn't what evolution optimized for, but it's what you need to succeed today. Not everyone can make that transition easily, and it's not wrong to get help if you can't.

There are a lot of very successful people on ADHD meds, who would not be successful without it. It's not all abuse. I would be the last person on earth to default to medication for a young child, but if you're an adult and unhappy with your ability to mentally commit to problem-solving, there's no reason you shouldn't think about this seriously.

> but that still does not tell us whether testing and tracing will work once it got past the point of lockdowns.

Well I can tell you the answer to that, because in Australia I watched it unfold in real time. We have an aggressive tracking and tracking regime. Our most populous state published the figures on it - lettings us know new cases, overseas infections and local infections (which was the real number that mattered). Overseas infections dominated, and we got most of them from the USA. Extraordinarily, we watched as the doubling period of people infected in the USA dipped below 2 days, while at the time the USA was saying it was a flu that would blow over in summer. In the end it became too much. The USA become too dangerous for us, and because were weren't prepared to single out the USA like we singled out China for bans, we shut down the border completely.

During the peak of that period, the "untested" number in those tracking and tracing figures grew exponentially. In case it isn't obvious that means it's failing: the virus has overwhelmed the resources of the nation-state. But it turned out they were mostly foreign infections being imported, and so after 14 days when that ended new infections plummeted, and we caught up.

Now we are down to 50 new cases a day and are opening up the economy again.

What it takes to overwhelm you depends on how much work tracking and tracing each infection requires. In Australia, it's all manual. In South Korea the co-opted the banks, mobile networks and other sources of data, built a system in under 60 days to tie it all together (as an I professional, colour me impressed). So they are _much_ more efficient at it than we are. Nonetheless it's not strictly true they didn't have lock downs. They didn't ever have a country wide lock down, but they did lock down regions for a few weeks when tracking and tracing was looking like it might be overwhelmed. Such small lock downs are very cheap compared to what everyone else is going through of course. I suspect it's even cheaper than the "let it burn" approach of Sweden.

In Australia we now have it under control. Since we are an island I think they are pretty confident if we can eliminate it internally, we have it beat. The only thing that would have to remain in place is the mandatory 14 day quarantine for international travellers, and even that could be reduced to a few days with good early detection tests. But eliminating it internally is going to be very difficult with a 30% asymptomatic rate even with our current tracking and tracing effort, as many local infections are of the "we have no idea how they got it" variety. In fact I think they've decided it isn't possible, since they are now rolling out bluetrace. They recon if 40% of the population takes it up, we can eradicate the thing.

I think if they could both work in conjunction with each other that would be ideal. I'd try the app for sure, but success rate doesn't seem to be high enough in Singapore for an app only to be the sole solution. Use as many approaches as you can make compatible ups the chances of uptake.
I started my career at Bell Labs in the 80's and one engineer there made a huge impact on me. I learned more from him that any other single person I have worked with since. He suffered from progressive myopia so he had a rig with a camera and a big screen and a huge monitor. He coded slower than everyone else, but in a way, that was his secret power because his code almost never failed in testing. Also, he was brilliant and I learned more about hardware and software from him that I did in Masters EE program. Also, he had this insight about the balance between when to use hardware and when to use software that I think is somewhat lacking today (discussion for another day). A lot of people have said that he was the inspiration for the character in the movie Sneakers (Whistler) could be he was really well know but passed away some time ago. I recall a time when we had a big meeting with a lot of executives and he had long hair and a beard and after the meeting one of the big wigs said to me "who is the guys that looks like Jesus, he is a genius". Sorry that I am going on a bit, I cannot even begin to understand what you are going through, but I can tell you that you should not underestimate the impact you can have on others. I wish I had better words here, I wish I knew more about what to suggest to help you technically, but all I know is that someone dealing something with something similar to you meant a great deal to me personally and professionally. Best wishes.

Ask HN: How to Become an Expert in Something?
A lot of incredibly intelligent people I look up to are experts in their respective field / domain. They have deep knowledge in a handful of related subjects, while still being relatively knowledgeable about other things, even more than I am at the things I do everyday. I understand that part of it is experience,but many of these people are quite young and I'm not exposed to the sort of problems that would allow me to gain deep knowledge of something and honestly dknt know where to find them half the time. It seems like many of these sort of problems require someone who is already expert. At the moment, I wouldn't even consider myself a good generalist. I have a good superficial knowledge of a large breadth of things and how they work, which is usually enough to satisfy my short term intellectual curiosity, but in practice could theres only a few where I'd be comfortable working with and none I'd be comfortable calling myself an expert in.
Immunity does not disappear. The virus could mutate, but not likely and surely would become less deadly. Herd immunity is a fact. It is natural. And we’ll probably reach it sooner than you think. I hope like everybody for a vaccine but I personally don’t think we’ll make it on time enough.
Unless you go with commercial Lisps, you likely won't get far without Emacs.

Thus, one option to consider (esp. if you're not fond of learning by the book) is to just start learning Emacs since you will need it anyway, use Emacs Lisp to configure it and learn the basics hands-on way. That will likely feel “different” enough already to change the way you think about programming, if that's one of the goals.

No need for books, no need to setup anything, you're simply dropped into a huge introspection-enabled sandbox that is about to become your main tool.

As someone who likes Postico but has some frustrations with it, I've been considering giving TablePlus a try. Can you describe some of the ways TablePlus falls short compared to Postico?
This is my own personal experience.

1. Commuting is exhausting and can easily add between 2-4 hours a day for long commuters (10-20 hours a week).

2. Work can be exhausting, it can feel like you just wake up to go back to sleep. Those 8 hours not sleeping I’ve felt a ghost of my self.

3. There is almost always some expectation of availability to work outside of those hours.

I moved to part time / freelance and it has been an enormous quality of life improvement.
I feel like there's a difference between being available 5 days a week 9-5 and actually working those hours, and it seems like you would value the former.

It feels like there could be some sort of compromise between the two, where employees are contactable during full-time hours, but only to organise actual work hours, which are limited and flexible.

Of course, this would be less convenient for managers than simply having full-time hours, but it would save money spent on wages/salaries and result in more productive happy workers. I also feel there should be some way to reduce the administration burden, perhaps a combination of allowing employees to arrange working hours directly with each other and technology to facilitate this.
