Ask HN: Few days before new job. How to rest?
Yesterday I've finished a contract at old job (IT). I'm starting a new one in 5 days.
Any advices how to rest effectively? Passively (in bed/meditation/doing nothing), actively (hiking, running, biking), mix of both? Reduce computers/phones usage for the 5 days?
I have kids at home so I can't run away for the time.
Sadly I don't know how to rest and I'm a workaholic. I want to work on this too but to be honest I don't know how to start.
> AWS S3 Glacier is dirt cheap as long as you don't need to restore.

What does that even mean?
If I don't have to restore, /dev/null will be even cheaper!
Here's my best take at this so far, I wrote it in 2007:

Why, oh WHY, do those #?@! nutheads use vi?

Historical note: I was wrong, whilst positive test results have and continue to sky rocket deaths, after levelling of for a week, continue to fall.
The problem is that Lineage does nothing to update the device driver stack where most security issues are found. Bumping up the Android OS version doesn't make you more secure in that respect.
That's true. OF is the king of all GTD task management systems and have been since always. It's the only thing I miss after abandoning Apple ecosystem years ago. People who don't do GTD religiously (and believe me - for them the GTD management system IS far more important than anything else in their toolbox) and other similar methodologies tend to have no idea what kind of difference a good system like OF makes. The guys behind the product nailed it and even now, as far as I know, no one was able to replicate their success.

I'd be in heaven if the company behind it - the OmniGroup - would be willing to: 1) Develop native or semi-native apps for multiple OSes + a web app; 2) Cut down their pricing a little bit. A similar strategy got Evernote a lot of users (although they still don't have a native Linux app) - I mean cross-platform and the fact that they offer reasonable discounts to their loyal customers.

It's also a fact that there's a lot people grounded in Apple's ecosystem purely because their dependence on OF (some even write about that here in this thread). I'm sorry for you guys. Really. Leaving OF was probably the hardest technological decision I've ever made, and even now - years later - I feel a thrilling fear remembering how I was struggling with myself about that, but I really can't afford being into a vendor lock-in with Apple or anyone else for that matter, whether it's in enterprise or my private life. That's dangerous and must have consequences in the future regardless of your current views regarding what Apple does (take a look on how many Fortune 500 companies went off that index during a typical lifespan - Apple isn't eternal too).

But somehow MacOS is a very important thing in OmniGroup. Their choice... But I miss you guys and I hope you'll mature to a similar decision I made - that Apple isn't "the one" and life has a lot more to offer ;) We could be friends again. I'm sure there are many others like me...

PS: People recommending some simple task management systems they use have no idea what they are talking about trying to compare it with something like OF... It's like comparing Windows' Notepad to Vim. Yes, they both are text editors, but the latter one is kind of "on-steroids" to the point where it makes no sense to even compare them.
I think that they broadcast over the air for free only because they are required by law. Otherwise they would probably only be available on cable, Netflix, etc...
> danger that our population drops massively over the next hundred years or so. And not because we finally figured out how to use contraceptives.

According to the evidence from Brazil and India, because we watch TV. According to the evidence from China, because of access to basic healthcare[1].

(I don't know of any evidence about video games, but they'd contribute too.)

[1] China's "one child policy" is blamed for the drop in fertility there, but if you look at the charts, fertility started trending down with the "barefoot doctor" campaign (someone with basic hygiene knowledge in every village). The one child policy coincides with a slight pause in the decline.
These regulations included things like monopoly in many industries, truckig, airlines and so on. There are lots of example like this. I'm just absoulty mindboggled by the current liberal idea of literally and regulation is always great and any removal of any regulation always responsable for the next crisis. Even saying 'deregulation' gets view on basically like saying that you are a neonazi.

Simularly the view that all regulation exist for a good reason is also flat-out false. It flys directly in the face of any serious study of political science and the formation of regulation in the real world.
> And since, almost nothing else (save for maybe git) beat learning vim from a return on investment perspective.

Interesting. I generally use IDEs Pycharm or Eclipse, or VSCode depending on the language. Do you think I would gain a lot from learning VIM?
And imo LeCun would agree with this, they were talking past each other and I don't get the behavior of people lashing out and forcibly getting everyone to bend to their opinions.
You can go to r/india to see that. That sub is peak irrational leftism.

And people generalizing Brahmins and other upper castes as oppressors are not exactly right. For many of us who are Brahmin by caste but have a rural, agriculture etc.. background otherwise, we have not witnessed such extreme casteism.

Disclaimer: Brahmin by caste / surname but my community is traditionally agriculturist.
> I'm forever indebted to their incredible creators and community.

Consider donating some money to them if you aren't already :)
My advice would be to start with the bare minimum: Using [i] to enter insert mode, [ESC] to get back to command mode, arrow keys to move around in either mode. With this you can use vim like Notepad.

Then observe yourself doing stuff and whenever you think "there must be a better way to do X", find out and learn how to do just that. (You would ideally have a cheatsheet on your desk for quick reference. If it's not on there, search the internet.)

At this point, it also helps to know about the basic grammar of normal-mode commands: motions as subjects, commands as verbs. Full sentences are either only-motion, command-motion, count-command-motion or command-count-motion. So if you have already learned that "dw" deletes a word, you immediately know that "d2w" or "2dw" deletes two words.

There's not much more to it. Just do your actual text editing and if you ever find yourself thinking "there must be a better way to do this", that's another learning opportunity.

It's a lot like language learning, really. You can plow through 10,000 vocabulary words in your SRS if you want, but nothing beats actually using the language.
I tried getting through this blog but it was just way to much effort to learn the actual idea.

Can anybody give me an TL;DR?
I always frame it this way: if there were a 40% price/perf improvement, why is not everyone (including AWS!) using ARM clouds?
Not, is not so normal. We talk of putting a delicate embrio for several hours in a bottle of hydrochloric acid or vinegar (PH: 1-3), and expecting that the animal will survive intact and without any inner damage in organs or skeleton. Even a minor damage would disqualify it for competing and survive in nature; and we are assuming that hatching means survival, correct grow and even a guarantee of living enough years to be able to reproduce. Is a big leap.

This is not what happens normally and the original experiment should have addressed it.

But the idea is pretty convenient so we can now start blaming the ducks and talking about stop spending money in "unavoidable" processes when in the 99% of the cases the real culprit will be human

Is like seeing lots of money vanished for a bank with the door crashed and blame termites for it.
I felt the same but if you go to "Docs" the very first link is then:

"Overview: The original motivation and background for why Perkeep exists and what one might use it for."

And there I found a great description.

Using Ctrl-[ is perfectly fine if that's convenient to you. Some people doe "inoremap jj <esc>" and double tap j to exit insert mode. If it's faster for you than pressing regular escape, it's an improvement, and thus good.
I believe the original paper’s authors are suggesting that the effect of cosmic rays on mutations might be enantioselective (meaning they effect molecules differently based on their chirality).

See original paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2002.12138.pdf

And previous HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23294294
I guess this does not stop in Jobs but also in VC Funding . Most VCs/Seed funds are run by few upper caste Indians . They do have discrimination if you come from a backward caste . if you belong to the same caste , chances of getting a fund are more .
Correct. No haldi, no ginger, no onions, no potatoes, no carrots, ...
Reducing risks regardless of level isn't HRs job, and something which is neither an explicitly protected category or one which there is case law identifying.as implicitly within the ambit of one of the explicit categories isn't a concern.
I bet that if they found out the opposite, that the current chirality is less prone to mutations from cosmic rays, we'll have an identical article which celebrates their finding, except that they would propose it's better to have less mutations.

They need to prove that increasing number of mutations is even a desirable property.
Afaik, research suggests that interviewers know after 20 seconds whether they'll hire someone. I don't have references and don't know if this would translate well to tech interviewing, but I'd wager that the vast majority of a 7h interview day is totally pointless.
Agreed. I was only pointing out that even bias is a matter of bias: if white faces had been depixelated to black faces instead of the other way around, the authors could have still been accused of a racist bias (because of the hypothetical scenario I've described above).
> it's physically impossible to enable the webcam without the status LED getting activated

People put way too much trust in webcam LEDs. Not because they don't work or could be bypassed, but because it's super easy to just not notice it if it only comes on for a split second. It doesn't take much time to grab a single frame; maybe you've been staring...intently...at the screen and get tunnel vision, or you just look away, or whatever.

Even if the LED was forced to light up for half a second before and after the camera became active as a sort of safety interlock, what's the average user gonna do with that information if it's unexpected? Panic and close the lid?

I'm not super paranoid about this but I'm just paranoid enough that I use Oversight[1] and manually approve whichever app is asking for access at the time. You can do this halfway natively in Catalina, but as far as I know it's binary - either the app has access or it doesn't, you can't set it to ask each time.

In China it is enough not to speak against the CP, to be left alone and do your research. In the USA you actively have to signal your allegiance to the cause. And not only that, the cause can change overnight and what you said couple of years ago, may not be PC today.
> they just gave up and started licensing stock ARM cores.

This is not correct. Their CPUs are heavily modified, just not very well executed.

The problem is that Qualcomm puts most its efforts on other parts of the soc, such as the stupid ML coprocessor. Now you have like 5-6 different DSP-like coprocessors.

Edit: oh, and 5G. They spent $$$$ to be the first with working 5G modems that nobody needs.
That's bullshit. Companies have "whole letter"s for pretty much everything they do. Gilead had a "whole letter" when they said they'd provide 1.5 million doses for free. Was that also loaded with crap and the "$0" price excessive?
I had the opposite experience. Fire TV was painful to use Vue on. I had such a bad experience with every streaming app that when I did use Youtube and it actually worked smoothly I was amazed.

Not $65 amazed granted.

This isn't true everywhere. There is a fair amount of bias embedded in society, and caste markers will follow you around.
Good question. Also what's the price of an equivalent dose of Cheerios?
To be honest, for some of them it is a matter of 'preserving culture' and I don't think they would accept a 'higher' caste one either. That said, it may be different in other parts of India.

Whilst FGM is absolutely abhorrent, I really can't stand how MGM (or circumcision without any medical need for it) is happily accepted in "Western values".

I can accept that circumcision is a medical need in some cases (my brother required it, something he elected to have done in his late teens), but I can't accept the double standard of "it's fine to chop parts off a baby boy without his consent because it's a part of our culture, but it's unacceptable that their culture allows them to chop parts off a baby girl".

So the point is, why are "Western values" automatically better than other values? I think you're being hyperbolic that "migrants have come over in such numbers that they have little pressure to assimilate", that is plainly nonsense.
Sure, PDF is a bit hairy. But you also can choose to not use Acrobat Reader. If you use e.g. Preview (macOS) or Evince (Linux) then I would wager that it’s not exactly trivial to get remote code execution. (Most probably possible though, but it would probably take some work.)

I've used vi for 25 years now, starting on a m68k based BSD machine. It's an adequate editor, handy in remote shell sessions and good to know how to use, but I'd MUCH rather use an IDE or a windowed editor with menus and mouse and hotkeys like Sublime. I mean real hotkeys, not emacs.

At the end of the day, it takes a certain kind of mind to like vi, and if you're not of that mind, you probably never will be.
> Billions of people in the developing world rely on pirated software, for one...

And it shows in their systems. I know a few people with extensive travel experience in Africa and most of them, despite being decidedly non-technical, came back with essentially the same story: "if you absolutely have to bring a laptop, don't ever connect it to something that has a data line"
Which would be a fairly rubbish take, because when it's my workflow, it's MY WORKFLOW. What they might mean is "I have not set up my workflow according to Jira's needs" which is entirely Jira's problem to solve.
> the official name is not Rapa Nui, but Isla De Pascua

There was a proposal to change the official name to "Rapa Nui – Isla de Pascua" a few years ago but I am not sure if it went through.
Good question, this needs dwelling deep into the ideology of caste system.

1. Like many other religion, basis of caste system in Hinduism is that lower caste people came from supposedly less important organ & upper caste people came from more important organs.

2. People from upper caste perform cushy jobs, have access to education and all amenities. People from lower caste literally have to carry shit of upper caste people on their head. Obviously caste is hereditory!

Now any tell that to anyone who says 'Hinduism is not a religion', they would say 'Caste system was not hereditory, but way of job management'; but they will have no answer or tell a lame excuse when you ask them "Why caste attrocity exists till date, would you help uprooting caste system and make it illegal? or better will you let your son/daughter marry a lower caste person?"

And there are people who staunchly believe in the caste system as the core of their belief system, so much so that honor killings happen even in western countries by people of Indian/Subcontinent origin; Yes honor killings happen in India almost every other day.

So yeah, casteism cannot be taken apart from religion/ideology.

Thank you for the correction
Hinduism has no concept of apostasy. You are free to believe in as many gods as you wish (Atheism is a legitimate school in Hinduism), so changing which god your claim to believe in isn't a big deal.

The perceived threat is from the claim that all other gods are false, which is one of the major factors in the anti Muslim/anti Christian sentiments playing out currently in India.

I've just finished this maddening process for the 4th time in my "career" and it was as frustrating as i remember.

To all potential employers and recruiters: When a candidate asks you for the agenda or some indication to the structure a meeting will take its because they want to be prepared. They aren't trying to "cheat", they want to be as productive as possible. Unless your company operates some insane work methodology where preparation for any task is strictly forbidden i don't understand why you wouldn't give them this info.

Twice in my last round of interviewing additional people where added to the call with short or no notice. These people where obviously experts in their technical niches so expecting me to preform well in a 30 minute grilling unprepared seemed unreasonable.
Yes, but for my approach to work, the device would have to be able to use multiple addresses that are preferrably randomized. Not sure that that will work everywhere.
That solution is an order of magnitude more expensive, so isn't really a viable alternative.

For say 200TB of backup over 5 years:

Rsync.net: $0.015/GB/month [0] * 200000GB * 60 months = $180000

LTO-8: $3600 for a drive [1], $5000 for 20x12TB tapes [2] = $8600.

Rsync.net is 21x the price of tape.

The breakeven point is surprisingly low as well. A single tape costs $140 [3], so the minimal entry cost for tape is $3740 for 12TB. For $3740 you only get 249TBmonths at Rsync.net, which is equivalent to 4.2TB for 5 years. So if you're storing more than 4.2TB of data, it's cheaper to buy an entire tape drive than to use Rsync.net.

Rsync.net seems like a great service but that pricing is really crippling. Even the "discounted" Attic pricing just barely beats a single tape, at 12.5TB for $3740.

And before the "but this is an online service" argument comes up, Hetzner offers a 40TB dedcicated server for 64€/month, or 0.0016€/GBmonth. That's cheaper and comes with an entire dedicated server thrown in.

Well, to "pull it off" involves multiple levels of development.

VR headsets are workable, but somewhat expensive, and content is lacking.

AR headsets are very expensive, have poor image quality, and even less content. It seems every defense contractor and electronics conglomerate got patents for holographic waveguides in the 1990s when the F-35 was under development; that headset is not so bad but it costs $250,000 and the original version was heavy enough to break your neck when the election seat fires.

Apple may be working on an AR headset, it may be a big hit in the end, but I will believe in product-market fit when I see it.
That's entirely presumptive. You can't conclude that a model works because the predictions the model makes don't come true.
We love redis. Thanks for the creating and contributing so long. Good luck @antirez.
Gilead has already announced that they won’t enforce the patent for coronavirus treatment. That doesn’t mean it’s easy to make, but the patent is not the issue.
For credit reporting this sort of thing creates bad enough externalizes that it needs to be outlawed.
