I think the key to a good exerience obtaining a Ph.D. is the choice of a good advisor. My advisor explained that the process of getting the degree was to teach us to find important problems and learn what we needed to solve them. Typically, that involved collaboration. He also stressed that it was a doctorate in Philosophy even though our department was in the Physical Sciences and Engineering School. That advice served me well as a scientist in a corporate materials analysis group.

Now that I am retired, I still find challenging projects to work on, mainly helping to improve open source electron microanalysis software.
Do you limit this philosophy to adult education? Because for childhood education it seems totally off - I wonder how many kids wouldn't learn even basic multiplication because it wasn't pleasurable at the time. I wonder what literacy rates would be with such a hedonistic approach (I don't use hedonistic to disparage, but rather in its literal sense of engaging in a pursuit of pleasure).

I doubt it even makes sense for adult education - I don't enjoy learning JavaScript nearly as much as I enjoy C#, but I require both for my job. SQL was an afterthought at the time, but it's proven to be incredibly important. If I only did what made me happy my career would be incredibly limited.
There's lots of mathematical and physics research with clear near or mid-term applications - a good example is DARPA grants, which are motivated by specific government needs, and which "feed" many mathematicians and physicists.
Or credit anybody pursuing a PhD for being smart?

Very condescending comment tbh.

There isn’t much “fun” about PhD. People who “do it on the side” without “university housing, pay and support” are borderline masochists.

Doing so on your own motivation without family/peer-pressure has my respect. In a First World country generally you don’t have any benefit from a PhD... Much different in “not first world”.

For context to anyone who is not familiar with Max, it is a visual programming language that connects inlets and outlets of boxes that each have distinct functions in order to program both simple and complex DSP routines. Gen~ is a subset of Max that focuses on providing its own set of 'boxes' which can be hooked together accompanied by its own nuances and quirks that overall aim to smooth the process of coding complex DSP graphs, particularly with single sample feedback (provided by the history operator). GenExpr is a text-based representation of these DSP graphs that allows you to describe the connections between objects using traditional programming patterns (for, if, while). The strength is that is still a 'box' and is inter-operable with gen~ code that is written outside the Codebox.

As a bonus, gen~ can compile to C++ code easily which can be useful for porting prototypes to standalones, VST's or embedded.

I begrudgingly bought a 'Smart TV' just because I wanted a 4K monitor. But I use it as a dumb monitor and watch app-based content through an Apple TV. At least I'm reasonably sure the Apple TV will be updated for 5-10 years, and is a lot more disposable than a giant TV.

My last TV worked great for about 12 years. No way Panasonic would've kept supporting it that long.

Honestly, the thing I hate most about smart TVs, especially budget-conscious ones like the one I bought, is they have terribly slow processors so just to turn on the TV takes like 12 seconds. My old TV had a picture up within 3 seconds of turning it on.

Does any manufacturer make a good TV, or are they all smart now?

The typical way to produce small scale liquid oxygen (LOX) requires liquid nitrogen (you use the liquid nitrogen to cool the gas as it passes through some transport medium like a copper pipe and collect the cooled liquid).

Purchasing LOX isn't too difficult, there are many vendors willing to supply large amounts of it, and a few vendors willing to supply small (experimental) amounts of it.

Storing LOX is the real challenge, you need to keep it at ~310f (~-190c) which requires a well insulated cryogenic storage chamber. Typical industrial sized storage tanks have a few metres of insulation to keep the heat out, and typical small-scale tanks have around 1-2 feet of insulation.

You're probably looking at a viable minimum storage container size of between 500-1000 litres (any smaller and your insulation layer will be so thin that you'll lose 10-20% of your stored oxygen as gases per day), with the typical minimal size being in the 2,500 litres range (which normally lose 1-2% of stored oxygen to gas per day)

You can buy very small containers (2l, 5l, 25l, etc, these are for nitrogen but you can get them for oxygen too): https://uk.vwr.com/store/product/2104367/liquid-nitrogen-dew... but these lose the liquid very quickly and you would likely want them delivered the same day you need them, resulting in a just-in-time delivery failure point.
Ask HN: How did you find work that your passionate about?
I dropped out of college at 18, when given a great offer by a massive tech company. I appreciate how lucky I was, but frequently wonder if I made the right choice. Currently I am 22.

My days mostly feel like an exhausted drag. What I truly love to do, write, music, etc, don't make that much money. I tried starting a startup, but the combination of working 40 hours writing code at work, then 20-30 hours on the side made me seriously burnt out (incredible how some people here have managed it!)

Ive thought about quitting, but most programming jobs seem identical to what I am doing now. I've been trying to hold out, but its getting harder each week.

If you've been able to get yourself into a position where you can do something you're passionate about, how did you find it and how did you switch?

The thing with these is that they have to be very directional to even reach us, and (in the article), it mentions the bursts have the energy of a century of our sun's output; if it is alien networking gear, they'd have to be able to generate that power somehow. Dyson spheres wouldn't cut it.
I think the real issue here is that maintaining communities of diverse people is hard work. It's not what a lot of maintainers sign-up for originally. It can be exhausting to try to keep the community aligned to a code of conduct in a way that's fair and allows open discussion. Worst of all, few people want to do this but it comes with the territory of a large open-for-contribution project.

Perhaps the solution is for each community to fund a community manager role. Maybe community management as a service would make sense if each individual project doesn't require a full role itself (a startup opportunity perhaps). Does anyone know of any open source projects that currently employ a community manager?

STAR just has one runoff, between the top two candidates; the original scores are used to narrow down to those two, and then the runoff just compares everyone's preferences between them (single vote for one or the other, or neither if you scored them the same).

It's a protection against some scenarios where more people prefer the second-highest-scoring candidate, which I believe can result from strategic voting by a minority block.

More importantly, score voting is the best family of voting systems that currently exists (both STAR and vanilla score voting blow plurality and any form of ranked choice out of the water); STAR has only been around for a few years and has some real momentum in Oregon, whereas score has been around for roughly two decades[0] and has not made any headway that I know of.

I've got to recommend refactoringui.com.

They sell a (rather expensive) book on web/mobile app design that explains how to build your design system and use it to create great looking apps. They cover all the bases you would expect like fonts, line-heights, colors, shadows, borders, sizing, working with images, visual hierarchy, using white space, etc. etc.

I'm a developer by trade and I work primarily with one other developer, so we end up doing all of our design work. This book really helped us step up our game and gave us some very simple tactics to use to improve our designs. Imho, it was well worth the price.

Yes, in absolute units (according to the theory).

If you buy exactly the same amount of kg of staple as before, you won't have enough money to buy the same amount of other food stuffs as before, so you'll be short of calories. Assuming you can't spend more money on food, your only options are to go without or to buy more of the staple (and even less of the other foodstuffs).

Some made-up figures:

* Staple costs $1/kg, and provides 1500 calories/kg

* Other stuff costs $2/kg and provides 1000 calories/kg

Out of every dollar in your food budget, you spend:

* $0.50 on 0.5kg of staple for 750 calories

* $0.50 on 0.25kg of other stuff for 250 calories

for a total of 1000 calories for every dollar spent on food.

Then the price of staple goes up to, say, $1.20/kg.

If you stick to buying the same absolute amount of staple as before, your spending looks like this:

* $0.60 on 0.5kg of staple for 750 calories

* $0.40 on 0.2kg of other stuff for 200 calories.

You're 50 calories short.

You can get back up to 1000 calories per dollar by spending like this:

* $0.67 on ~0.56kg of staple for 833 calories

* $0.33 on ~0.17kg of other stuff for 167 calories

That's an absolute increase in staple consumption from 0.5kg to 0.56kg for every dollar spent on food -- a bit more than an 11% rise.
This is not entirely true. Why do people join gangs in the first place? They feel outcast, need money, feel pressured, etc.

So let’s tackle those problems proactively. Invest in neighborhoods. Make sure there is economic opportunity. Provide ways for people to feel accepted by their community. The point is to try to stop these things before they become problems, rather than only deal with them punitively under threat of violence.

Of course violent crime will still exist. But we’re not even dealing with that particularly well today: half of all homicides in Minneapolis went unsolved last year [0]. The actual solution might not look anything like policing as we know it today.
