Ask HN: Does anyone else struggle to do computer work when tired?
I’m specifically referring to a lack of sleep.

I’ve noticed that if I’m sleep deprived, especially if there’s a sleep debt of a few bad nights in a row, I feel really unmotivated and it’s difficult to concentrate.

Of course everyone is far happier and performs much better when well rested. But I feel like it potentially affects me more than other people.

The difference is astounding, I’d estimate a 80% reduction in motivation and cognitive ability if I’ve had a few 4 hour nights in a row.

Sitting in front of a computer concentrating on something complex feels almost physically painful, when I’m well rested I’m usually quite upbeat and pretty excited about the projects I’m working on.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Any suggestions For things that have helped you perform at your best when you’re exhausted?
It's money. Give money.

We as developers and engineers have a lot of extra spare cash around. Donate to mutual aid funds or bail funds.
It would seem reasonable to be able to FOIA the encryption keys in US locations where it is encrypted.
In the year 2015, in all of Germany, the Police only fired a total of 46 bullets [1], killing only 7 people in the entire country.

At 83 million, Germany's population is 25% that of the USA, so all things being equal the Police in the USA would only use 184 bullets per year, and there would only be 28 deaths as a result of police shootings.

In reality, The police in the USA shot shot and killed nearly 1,000 people in 2015 [2].

As someone who got Innovation for the cheaps off Craigslist I have to highlight the concept that there is enormous complexity to really get the rewards in Carl's games...

It took us 4 tries to REALLY ramp up Innovation to the point where everyone (group of 3) understood how you could combo up and compete against others who fell into certain card combinations. It did get particularly fun at that point even as we would regularly discover new Age 9 and Age 10 cards (with somehow even more absurd mechanics)

It is definitely not a game I would recommend for children though :/
That last link seems like maybe the most informative place to start, so we've changed the link above to that from https://github.com/immuni-app.
> It's not though, not being peaceful is pretty much one of the core defining features of the black bloc.

If the black bloc was all of antifa, it would just be called antifa. Outside the black bloc, direct action covers a lot of things, from just organizing all sorts of things (not just protests), art and being loud, to vandalism and even violence.

Just take all the sorts of things that were done in human history while claiming it was for freedom, both bad and good. Does that make any person doing thing X in the name of freedom responsible for what a person doing Y in the name of freedom? You can call those people a "group" all day long, but that doesn't mean they're actually a group in the sense of voting on their values and actions.
Poor people are not more violent. Black people are more violent. Christian Ethiopians are not more violent... Lefties are too scared to use their beloved scientific reductionism, which they praise elsewhere, for even a moment on this topic. Because they're not interested in science or truth - just adherence to their religion of scientific atheism.
The network effect is hard. I have family in India that would be next to impossible to get in touch with if Im not using whatsapp. Everything over there happens on it.

There are good things too, my friend found a kidney donor on there, a random person which saved their life !!

It needs to happen, its a tough jump
> saying they decide which laws to enforce

In practical terms, they already do it and US law allows them prosecutorial discretion.
Yeah, I work with awk quite a lot and I find weird that they needed so many resources.

Although I agree that for this problem Postgres looks like a better option, I wouldn't discard awk or other Unix tools. It is way faster than people think it is, easy to use and solves pretty well quite a lot of use cases, such as pre-processing records before database ingestion, aggregations, some simple queries on temporary data...
It also works with solar and wind.
This world.

There is a car accident every 3 seconds in America. Cops are almost always the first on the scene and clearing the highway of wrecked cars before a tow arrives is essential.
> If the counter-notice is so obviously wrong, then following through with a lawsuit probably stands a good chance of a default judgement in your favor, and a very good chance of a summary judgement in your favor.

Lol, no it doesn't. Even launching such litigation costs tens of thousands of dollars per time, and many copyright owners have to file literally millions of requests a day, the vast, vast, vast majority of which are legitimate.
IMO the default for body text should be serif, with sans used for headlines and display text.

There’s a reason books and magazines are set in serif fonts: they are easier to read for long text paragraphs.

GUIs defaulted to sans serif fonts because displays didn’t have enough resolution to properly render serifs, but that’s mostly not the case anymore.
> If your so-called friends don't have your email address, they aren't your friends.

I don't think that's fair to say in 2020. I'm not arguing for facebook's goodness here, just its ubiquity. When it comes time for me to organize a friends-only event (i.e., not a meetup or community event), I'm not aware of anything better than FB for the task. Say a party with 50 people at it - not all those people have my phone number or email address, but we're still close enough that I could tell you where they grew up. Maybe we chat on messenger sometimes.

I'm actively looking for alternatives. I think I'll disable my FB to still have access to messenger, but mostly I need a replacement for Events. Marketplace is pointless - I get way more hits on my craigslist posts anyway. Photos is stupid, I just put my stuff on photos.google.com and share the URL with people. Hah, though I am just now remembering Instagram is owned by FB.
>Have you seen dozens or hundreds of videos of civilians acting inappropriately?

Yes. I have also seen countless videos in which civilians were reprimanded by other citizens for acting inappropriately. They are trying to police themselves. Why can't the police police themselves?

>If a “woman of color” was seen starting a fire, would you be comfortable saying things like “black women start fires”? I sure hope not. Even if you had dozens of examples, it would still be wrong to make such a statement.

I don't know what you are trying to insinuate with this comment. I was not making any blanket statements about anyone beyond the general group of "police".
These people aren't even born in the US. Pretty sure your country doesn't have clean drinking water
I don't think this is any more true for this problem space than other problem spaces. The "pure functional package manager" property doesn't come from the functional expression language, but from the thing that takes the static build plan and executes it. You could make these build plans in Python (or Starlark https://go.starlark.net) very elegantly and with the massive added bonus that they are intelligible to a much broader audience, and Python still allows for a very functional style. The only caveat I would add is that the Nix expression language has really nice support for multiline strings and Python still hasn't figured that out. Lastly, Python also supports type annotations and even a type checker (although the type checker leaves a lot to be desired, such as basic types or callbacks that take kwargs so it might be better off to implement one's own type checker).

But 100% agreement that Nix needs a type checker!
>Let them do their thing, and everyone will get bored. Yes, it's a dick move to block an intersection. But we don't tear gas routine assholes, right?

Never thought of it this way before, but this train of thought strongly resonates with me and makes sense. Thanks for posting it.
Going to repost this here too: How many of FB users would need to have adblockers and commit to never clicking on an ad in facebook to cause a big enough dip in revenue in Q2 (ends this month)? Especially given already depressed levels of online advertising spend. I don't mean this in a "lets take down FB" way but more of a "how can we force Zuckerberg to have more discussion/thought on this and brush it away?".

I would love to see some type of fact check warning be implemented for FB but not necessarily censorship.
There are also games with simple mechanics. I think Century : Spice Road and the various Forbidden Island / Desert games are good examples.
Sqlite is single-writer for a single database. I mean. Of course, VHRanger, only your team will need to write to the database, and your team will make sure that only one person on your team will write to it. Eh. I've been there too many times. Oh, but yes, your team will also figure out the fallout if things to wrong. Ah..

Ok. Maybe those are enterprise concerns: Sqlite doesn't scale regarding multiple users reading and writing. Of course it's a read only dataset, but do you know the bouquet of views and derived tables data scientists create around a read-only dataset? Hah. Oh and of course these are not critical, but if they get lost, shit hits the fan because it takes multiple weeks to rebuild them.

I've been in that swamp enough times to just install postgres and stop caring. Takes me 2 more hours now, but avoids weeks of discussions in the future.
I am definitely not White - but when Democrats say that the “white trash” only care about guns and the Bible, why wouldn’t they vote for Trump? You never win votes by insulting the people that you want to vote for you.
Not really. They are cemented into those blockchains. Unless you have a way to back write a blockchain.
Sure. Not disagreeing. But those people can make money today as well -- via stuff like Patreon.
D&D with digital assist is actually really good.
I can't identify what this person is actually advocating for FB employees to do, and I'd recommend an edit to clarify that point. But at least they're not telling people to quit or else they're white supremacists. Telling people to quit is a gambit for personal purity, not change, because whoever leaves will just get replaced and the wheels keep right on rolling along. Employees organizing for change within the organization could do something, at least. Maybe.

Is IDE standardization the answer in a team?
That's true. Allow me to edit it to "last major social network". I have access to places where I can speak my mind. I think society is stronger for allowing everyone places like that, and Facebook's discoverability is a lot higher than many other places. Maybe Reddit is also as good but it's much smaller.
There's almost no information here. Can somebody find a substantive source?
Is it just me, or does the article drop the abbreviation “NKRO” at the end with no explanation of the meaning?

Edit: It’s “n-key rollover“
Thanks for sharing your perspective. I guess it is a bit excessive to think about future repercussions, my conscience is only guided by past examples of slow erosion. I hope that silicon valley folks remain vigilant and self-critical.

Regarding the algos, I agree, it is an entirely separate problem.
>Is there a significant amount of Facebook employees that are actually planning on leaving?

Of course not. The proof is in the puddin'. There is, and never has been, a mass exodus of technical talent from these companies. And during this period there has been near constant hand wringing and crocodile tears about the evil things these companies do.
Google is not the ambiguous other "websites and ISPs." They are the ones making the claim that you are in private mode with a Google product, even though you aren't.

Users don't know how things work. They read that as if Google is respecting privacy, not tracking everything they do.
Then why not instead charge a nominal amount like $5? Chrome's extension store does that.

My guess is the amount significantly reduces the volume of malware
You seem to trust Apple a lot more than I do. Why not go a step further and use Firefox/Tor?
that’s why I have tags, I summarize info in multiple places, and I add aliases for sources
I honestly don't think this has legs. The incognito mode in most browsers that I've tried informs you that you can still be tracked through javascript/google-analytics. What are they supposed to do, figure out that you're in incognito mode and ignore the data that they've got from your IP address and your mouse movement and all the other things they track?
> Violence lost that consensus.

It was not by accident[1] - remember the police force was on the wrong side of that consensus. Strategically, allowing and even encouraging[2][3] violence is a winning move for the police (as long as their members are relatively safe) - both to punish the communities who have seemingly "turned against the police" and to change the narrative so that the same communities beg the police to save them from the violence.

NYT is a perfectly legitimate source for HN and the commenter was being helpful by offering an alternate link. Please don't gum up the threads with off-topic kvetching about sites you dislike. Also, can you please not be a jerk in comments here?

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23381481.
Hi there, thank you for your comment. I'll look into it for sure. Would you prefer side-by-side or interleaving or something else?
Unions have effectively created a system by which officers are nearly immune from prosecution and even if successfully prosecuted their record cannot travel with them in many cases.

I guess it’s time for us to acknowledge that unions are not always a net benefit.

Don't forget to log off and clear cookies when not using it so you're not tracked by every "like" / "comment with facebook" button if you don't want to feed the zuck machine.
Or use a quarantine browser for your sessions.
Not so much in the US.
Wow this is getting out of hand, not the spying, not the data collection, not the poor morals with ads... but the support for free speech did it and not being extreme left. Great bravo guys, bravo
You're assuming a similar, or even the same, network can't be found outside of <site-x>.

I suspect this is a subset of what I call "The Fallacy of The Best", the idea that things can objectively be quantified as "the best" and that there is significant value that cannot be realized without "the best".

In reality, the products and services you choose have relatively little impact on the quality of experience you have, both because there is little substantial difference between most things on the main, and because the effort you put into things is far more important.
I've noticed that if I'm getting inadequate sleep, yes, motivation and concentration are in limited supply.
But if I'm working on a project non-stop, and I have that momentum, I can go without little to no sleep.
...I wouldn't push anything to prod after an allnighter though.
Its more about whether UBI leads to productivity or not. If someone is going to drink 6 beers and do lines of coke all day, but they create goods and services, they are more useful than someone who is drug/alcohol free who watches Netflix all day.

My fear is that true UBI will create a giant section of the population whose sole purpose is to consume food/water/utilities and create meaningless art, music, babies, etc. which raises questions about what our purpose in the universe is.
now you see why it quickly becomes complex, and I use the built-in editor which is as light as nano
That's fair. I'm biased to look for an interesting problem to solve but you're probably right that, realistically, money is where I can have the greatest impact.
Weirdly, this doesn't seem to be the case. Coins with no hashrate like BCH are still trading at pretty high prices. https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-cash-could-face-51-at...
When traveling West Africa overland, I found that Whatsapp was essential for contacting guesthouses down the road. Due to inconsistent electrical supply in the region, accommodation proprietors don’t have constant mobile phone availability, so trying to contact them on the phone is often fruitless. Instead, they all ask to be contacted over Whatsapp, so that when they get a chance to charge their devices they can catch up on whatever messages have been sent to them in the meantime.

Also, I found in South America that almost no one would respond to an SMS sent to them. Apparently, SMSs used to be extremely expensive, so a culture developed of never answering them. If you want any kind of reply, then people insist you use Whatsapp.
No, because they are notoriously violent.
Yup. Here's what it says precisely:

> Now you can browse privately, and other people who use this device won't see your activity. However, downloads and bookmarks will be saved. Learn more

> Chrome won't save the following information:

> Your browsing history

> Cookies and site data

> Information entered in forms

> Your activity might still be visible to:

> Websites you visit

> Your employer or school

> Your internet service provider

Seems pretty clear.
I also disagree. The "curation" algorithms and other systems clearly have a serious influence. Facebook is not responsible for human nature, but they are responsible for intentionally guiding it for profit and ignoring the consequences. It's not as if Facebook is merely tabula rasa; they meddle.

There have been many examples of executives and engineers who have spoken to this effect:

https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-engineer-resigns-tr...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6e1riShmak (Chamath Palihapitiya)
I didn't need to do this to get the same effect. I just deleted the app from my phone.

Now I check Facebook maybe once a month and only for events or to sell stuff. I think it helps that I only ever used it on mobile to begin with. After being away for over a year the feed looks like a dumpster fire. I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole. There is some genuine cases of people connecting on there no doubt but it's buried under a pile of anxiety inducing crap. And not the constrictive kind of anxiety either, the hollow kind.
I'm a longtime Ubuntu user and recently gave NixOS a try as most of our team use it. I have to admit I was highly skeptical as it all looks very complicated. The learning curve was a bit steep due to the documentation and odd terminology. But after you get going it solves so many problems. The fact you can declare you're entire desired set up in a single configuration.nix then "nixos-rebuild switch" and you're done saves so much time.
And not all of them combined were as successful as Facebook was at its peak.
> 1. They are given rubber bullets and mace without any form of de-escalation training, so they just use the tools they have at their disposal.

From what I've heard , they aren't even using the rubber bullets they way they are designed, but instead in a more dangerous way. Incompetence or maliciousness, take your pick. I wager its a bit of both.
Re your question -- it depends: if the network ends up being based on Yggdrasil, as the blog post suggests it could, "IP addresses" are public keys, and packets are encrypted to that destination (which could be a NATing router, though).

So, it gives you some guarantees about encryption, that might or might not be redundant (and for some use-cases, better safe than sorry).
To be anonymous is necessary for free speech. You should never confuse social media for the public opinion.
> The difference is that copyright is a right that involves making money

No it isn't. That's one reason, but international copyright treaties recognise a host of rights that copyright gives including the right to attribution, the right to maintain the integrity of the work, and the right to control distribution (including the notion that you can just say you'd quite like it not to be distributed thanks).

Copyright is a speech right, not just an economic one.
See ya! LOL
I don’t think you understand. The “people” in my statement are not politicians, they are charlatans, whining whenever their uncertain theories are not used by politicians to dictate how everyone must behave, which according to some mental gymnastics ought to happen because their theories are dressed up in an outdated notion of “science”. It is pernicious fascist bullshit, but thankfully it will fail.
One more to add:

> Google
An "opening salvo" has to be more than just throwing ammunition at your enemies. The "but global pandemic" argument will not be very convincing when they roll out authors that also wanted to eat during the pandemic.

No matter what you consider to be the morally correct outcome here, this seems to have been a very risky way to go about things.
I don't think there's anything inherently more legible about either serif or sans-serif fonts. Whichever one you read the most will be most legible to you, which means the default shouldn't be changed even when it's no longer technically necessary.
We've banned that account for breaking the site guidelines. But why are you breaking them yourself? Insinuations about astroturfing without evidence are not allowed, for reasons I've explained extensively (see https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...). And obviously you shouldn't be responding like this or https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23386438. Doing that helps nothing; it only makes this place even worse.

The guidelines specifically ask you not to feed egregious comments by replying (a.k.a. please don't feed the trolls), but to flag them instead. Other users did that, and so the GP comment was rightly flagkilled. If you had done that instead, that would have happened sooner.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.

(Edit: Fortunately your comment history seems just fine for HN so this isn't a longstanding problem.)
