No it's not. It's just an expression, it means none of those things. And yes, I think maybe he could be misinterpreting things. Is that really so bad? Pardon the expression, but everyone's shit stinks, no one is God, and infallible.

> You see how absolutely rude it is to talk to people like that? Can you imagine if your TV got stolen and you went to the police and the first question out of their mouth was not about the facts of the case, not things like, "When did you first notice it missing? What kind of TV was it? How long have you had this TV? Has anyone suspicious been around your place?"...but not those questions, but the cops came up with a completely alternate, dismissive theory like "Have you ever considered that maybe you never owned a TV at all? I mean, it could be burglary, but how could you know that? Next!" You'd be apoplectic, because that is not asking questions, it's downright incredulity.

That's really not like this at all... He's just being frisked a lot. Could be for a lot of reasons.

But of course you don't want to understand the emotional context and frustration of those people, you want to "ask questions" and find a way out of your emotional discomfort as quickly as possible.

Bye, then.
It seems like an EMP attack would be best bet against the US for an actor with a very limited number of nukes. From the field strength maps I've seen, a single large nuke (not sure if NK's nukes are large enough) would affect all of the US, two nukes and they could hit the coasts.

Nuking a city destroys a city, destroying the electrical grid takes out most of a nations industrial production and forces them to focus on short-term survival.

An EMP taking out the power grid across the US in a way that isn't quickly recovered from would likely be a lot more devastating - definitely in terms of industrial capacity, possibly also in human losses due to starvation and general collapse - than nuking two major cities with the same yield.
How would you encourage genuine mindfulness in an organization without opening up this kind of concern/criticism of the potential motivations behind it?

I think in many cases it's a valid criticism - perhaps due to practitioners who don't communicate how to apply mindfulness clearly, or staff who fail to understand the true goals and attempt to use it to suppress complaints and problems.

I was really impressed with The Eidolon by Lucasfilm Games when it was released in 1985. Those "fractal" graphics were just so advanced at that time.

Care to enumerate? Asking because I feel the same: I really enjoy immutability, first class functions, map/filter/reduce, Option<T> and powerful types (I dislike: currying, point-free, monads), but at the same time I feel more at home doing that in imperative-ish languages like C#, JS/TS and Rust where I can have guard ifs and the odd mutation here and there. Wondering if anyone else is the same.
That doesn't help you if you can't get the fuel for it. Most industrial facilities can't just run on generators. Data centers can in theory, but I somehow doubt those diesel delivery contracts would be fulfilled, and good luck calling around asking for alternatives when the phone networks go down.

Millennia of History in 100 Years
The thing is, what Google does often doesn't work.

Unsound hacks that kind of work "acceptable" in A/B test telemetry and slowly break in real life from inherent design deficiency, are almost always worse than something saying from the start "will not work on bugged os/hardware version, but work really well on standard compliant ones"

The TLS 1.3 hack a Google engineer has forced through IETF is now backfiring for example. They did it to hack around a certain brand of middleboxes, but the hack instead broke few other ones, and embedded http servers. They may well errata it, and go back to normal versioning in 1.4, despite putting it on paper in 1.3 that the hack is here permanently.

Show HN: Generating CUBA applications from annotated DDLs
Typical business applications have 100s of tables. Many of them follow similar patterns (lists, master-detail). All these need CRUD forms.

It takes a lot of time if we write them manually. CUBA Studio is great for creating tables and screens with visual designers but who wants to repeat this for 100s of tables?

I wanted a tool which would generate CUBA entities and CRUD forms from an annotated CREATE TABLE statements.

Edit: the following is based on my experience, I can't make claims about all meditation.

It takes a lot of practice to actually be able to do that. The distraction is the meditation - you need to learn notice it and bring your mind back. The drowsiness is the meditation - you need to learn to notice it and raise your energy.

And as you learn to calm your brain without falling asleep, deeper and deeper repressed and ignored thoughts and feeling will come to the surface, because as you're gradually calming all the parts of your mind you are also calming the parts that are repressing the other parts which are enraged and demand a seat at the table. And part of meditation is getting punched in the face by those parts that you have been repressing, until you have faced them, dealt with them, accepted them and integrated them. (Although part of it is also learning when you need to ignore them and not try to "face" or "deal" with them.)
I've seen some "practice oriented" bachelor degrees like "Software Development" that don't cover these topics at all.

I think more common is to have a few courses on it, but as a small part of the curriculum; which is largely forgotten by graduation time.

I guarantee that asking the average application developer about IO ports, out of order execution, cache misses, AST passes, stack machines, how a GC works, or even just how to implement a hash table or tradeoffs between arrays and linked lists will earn you mostly blank, confused stares.
But that’s your phone too. The second factor, is practice, having access to an active session on your device.
They were talking about using a credit card which is based on a credit limit not a debit card which here in the states is also based on your bank account. The argument being that if you expose a debit card which is basically like a digital checkbook to your bank account then you have 0 protections. If you use a credit card then you have plenty of legal recourse against fraud.

I used Google Music for years and switched to Spotify about a year ago. The difference in music discovery is like night and day. Every week, Spotify gives me a new list of music I've never heard where I tend to favorite ~30% of them. Google Music just played the same songs over and over. It was work for me to actually find new music.

That said I still pay for it to get rid of YouTube ads.

> I am told to "not think" during meditation,

It's impossible not to think, unless you're dead. You even think while you dream! It is possible to avoid thinking concrete thoughts, but when concrete boundaries around acceptable thoughts are protecting you from trauma that's not a useful thing to do.
Yes I noticed that this was fixed last night. I tried to watch a 12 min clip of Germany vs Brazil from the 2014 world cup, an ad break approx every 2 mins. Insane.
> producing nothing of tangible economic value

Just because something has a low/zero market price does not mean it has no economic value. It just means it is not valued by people with lots of money and their pals in government.

Similarly, just because something has a high market price does not mean it has real economic value. See, e.g. LBO funds and their ridiculous fees.

Market prices are determined as much by market structure as they are by people's preferences.
As an "old guy" who has been meditating since the 70's, Mindfulness is merely a popular fad, and a money grab, and is doing a terrible job is claiming to be a cure all. It latches onto people with anxiety issues and claims to be a cure all. Be like Public Enemy and Don't Believe The Hype.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EMP_mechanism.png shows a field strength of 25 kV/m for most of the US.

My understanding could be wrong, but wouldn't this mean exposing a 1 cm wide component (and/or components that have one cm long traces attached) to at least 250 V?

Wouldn't this be expected to destroy not every single component, but enough components to make enough hardware inoperable to collapse all industrial and power generation capabilities? (If you destroy 10% of ICs on only 10% of control boards in a power plant or factory, I'd assume that plant goes down hard and isn't coming up any time soon.)

> I dislike: currying, point-free, monads

Don't worry then, that's fine, you just dislike Haskell.

I personally really like functional programming but can't stand Haskell. The style favoured by the community is optimised to be the most impenetrable possible.

You should try Ocaml. The preferred style favours piping to point-free and uses monads sparingly. Currying is everywhere but copious use of named arguments tends to make things simpler.
That's not even remotely true across the board.

I won't bother digging into all of the details of bad publishing business models in academia, but that is a direct counterpoint to the blanket statement you're trying to make.

With staying on topic re: The costs to the end consumers. It's not personal greed to not want to pay to access the content when the cost of the content doesn't reflect the cost to produce it or even a "fair premium" on top of what it costs to produce it.

You're also discounting the business models themselves and how they work. Let's say I care to read this one specific article from NYT. Why do I have to pay to access all of their content? If they want more money they'd allow me to do a microtransaction to purchase this article. And no, not 20-30% of what a month long subscription costs.

It is in fact a bad business model. In either case, I don't pirate these articles and I'm even arguing against using workarounds to view them without paying. So don't try to paint me as some comically evil person who just "doesn't want to pay" because my argument is inconvenient to your world view.
That doesn't really explain what changed, where the urgency is coming from. Also note that some TCP improvements are sender-side only, so you only need to upgrade your server, not all client devices.

What's the range of that pulse, and how does it relate to the field strength map seen on Wikipedia (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EMP_mechanism.png)?

Naively, this map makes me think that a single such EMP means enough electronics break that every major power plant or industrial plant is down and not recoverable for weeks.
Most CPUs run at > 1GHz these days so 1ns is already not precise enough to count cycles, but is small enough that it will be fine for the vast majority of use cases. If you need picosecond accuracy you are probably doing something that requires special hardware anyway.

These other aspect is that 64 bits allow such a huge interval that it makes sense to use it. Even counting in nanoseconds increments this allows for a monotonic counter to run over literally hundreds of years.

So 64 bits in increments of 1ns (or close to) is both doable on most modern hardware and allows for the vast majority of use cases for decades to come (if not longer) without have to think about changing it again and again.
Before the lockdown, my company always provided the option of working from home if needed. Maybe you had childcare, maybe your car was in the garage. But the general default was to be in the office. How we worked reflected this - often we'd try to resolve problems or ask for advice face to face. Some people could get frustrated if others were frequently working from home on short notice.

With hindsight, I haven't felt many blocks to working remotely. Hardware issues, like a laptop charger failing, tend to be the more difficult things to get sorted. It's how things have to be, and people get on with it. What I do miss is the corridor conversations and find that I have a more narrow view of what's going on in the company because I'm simply not exposed to it.

Also, I neglected to invest in my home office setup because it wasn't a common thing to use. If working remotely does because more of a norm, that's where I'd spend some money going forward.

>I think clarity there generally helps people change their conditions more than it urges them to just accept them.

It can work either way. Any mental approach can be used for clarity and motivation or as an opiate - or something worse (justification for harm, etc.). It depends on what you emphasize. For kids in school, they're probably not going to be able to change their own conditions, particularly at school.

I've experienced both in myself. Meditation, discovery, and self reflection helped me deal with very bad work situations, but it also eventually made it clear where balance was lacking and the motivation to find better balance, which is very difficult in the US (and I'm sure most of the world).

I also think there's a big difference between wanting it for yourself and having it pushed on you. If I didn't seek it out but instead had school or work force it down my throat, I doubt I would have benefited much from it. I'm sure there are kids and adults who were ready for it anyway, so when it was forced on them, they scooped it up and ran, but I doubt that's the typical experience. Balance is different for different people, because we're all off balance in different ways, so I might need to learn a little this way or a lot that way to find balance, and you may need to lean in the opposite directions. Mindfulness is vague enough to give people room to adjust according to their needs, but in an institutional setting, it will be filtered through the balances of whoever is presenting it. Because some of these approaches helped me, I'm inclined to want other people to experience them, but I also understand that different things work for different people and that I shouldn't expect my experiences to translate to everyone else.
Many universities teach FP to their undergraduates, some of them even use Haskell as their first programming language.

I have published at ICFP and in the JFP, and understand garbage collectors, laziness, monads, good persistent data structures very well. Yet, I prefer CBV to lazy evaluation, I prefer full unrestricted support for imperative programming, I don't think Haskell approach to effects by monads is ideal (I prefer Scala's giving you the option to tame effects by monads).
There is a reason why, despite near half a century since Backus' "Can programming be liberated from the von Neumann style?", CUDA dominates HPC, C++/C (and Rust) dominate mainstream infrastructure programming, Go took the cloud world by storm, ML is dominated by Python, front-end is dominated by Javascript/Typescript, hardware design is dominated by Verilog, and business computing (for lack of a better term) is dominated by Java/C#. I really don't think the reason is that everybody is too uneducated to realise the benefits of Haskell.
You can see the same misconceptions when people expect mindful meditation to always:

- relax them

- make them happy

- make them less emotional

But with practice I learned that some sessions are extremely emotional, full of stress or sorrow. It's not uncommon to feel pain, distress or to cry deeply during intense meditation retreats.

The process improves one existence by making us live those aspects of our life better. Not by taking them away.

Now of course, on the long run, it will make people more relaxed, happier, etc. Making you fitter to live with yourself.

But not by removing, ignoring or suppressing suffering.

It's still here. It will always be here. That's the point of meditating.

Mindfulness forces us to observe it as it is. You see your contradictions, your scars and your urges. You see your masks, conditioning and reflexes.

If anything, it removes dichotomy. Not add to it.

In fact, from what I witnessed, meditation tends to make people remove layers in general. I rarely hear meditators talking about adding ones.

And mindfulness is certainly not emotions vs reason.

It has nothing to do with either.

Emotions and reason are here. You observe them, and yourself using them. But the fact you use them is not part of the technique. It's just a part of you, and like all parts of you, you are invited to observe it.

Like everybody, when I started years ago, I confused "be detached" with "don't feel", "label it unimportant", "try to relax". That's not it.

What you feel or the label you use are just not part of the teaching. They don't matter at all (for the practice). What matters is that you observe it.
