Wake up at 9-10am, have a cup of coffee while reading some emails (gotta get that work time counter ticking).

After an hour or two I make breakfast (usually olive oil + egg + tortilla).

After 4-5 work hours I start to look at social media too much and take a break to make lunch / read personal email / nap.

Get back to work in the afternoon for meetings, take a break at 7pm for sunset walk/run/cycle. It's the best time to be out.

Finish remaining work hours then watch videos / chat with friends. if I'm not drained I might do some errands or work on my hobby projects.

I usually visit family on the weekends and try to spend some time away from a computer.
so is this an alternative to multipar / quickpar / par2 from the usenet days?

Looks good. I always try to build redundancy into my offline backups, as if the given backup in my hand is the last backup that hasn't been cooked / melted / flooded etc. ...because one day, it just might! Talking about worst-worst-case scenario, with triple redundancy of online-offsite (can be ransomwared), offline-onsite (can be flooded/burned), and online-onsite (1st line of defense, ie syncthing or a nas)

When the article mentioned AppleTalk I envisioned a way to get files off of my old SE using something that hooked into the ADB networking ports.

"Predictions" are pointless. It's wrong, and just about everything that is good and decent about human life and the human mind is endangered by it. So I'm against it, regardless of the "chances" of whatever outcome. I know what's required for human dignity, I will rather die than betray that, and if everybody thought that way, it would be over in one week. That they don't is their problem and something for them to find peace with. I don't worry about that nor about saving the world, my sole responsibility is being worthy of having been born into a better one, or into the same one among better peers. That is within my agency, and only I can let it slip.

0200 to 1000, since picking up insomnia last year. 0200 is if the bye-bye cocktail works. If not it's more like 0500.

I adapted to it by shifting my IT work to remote + after hours.
"A crude version of such a system is already in operation in China’s northwestern territory of Xinjiang, where more than 1 million Muslim Uighurs have been imprisoned, the largest internment of an ethnic-religious minority since the fall of the Third Reich."

There's so much in this article that merits comment / discussion, but this sentence really jumped out at me. I'd been vaguely aware that this kind of thing was happening in the PRC, but not at this historic scale....

Western values matter more than ever. Here's hoping for a sea change this fall.
Wake up around 7:30.
Coffe and oatmeal for breakfast.
Up to my office around 8 for work.
Sometime between 11 and 12 I go for a two hour bicycle ride.
Shower and lunch before my daily 2pm meeting.
Dinner at 5.
Play with the kids until 7.
Go through the kid's bedtime routine (brush teeth, sing, read, tuck them in)
Wife and I spend the rest of the evening together, usually listening to an audiobook (currently Way of Kings).
Sleep hopefully by 10 but insomnia means anytime between 10 and 2.
It's essentially the same (unless you use one of the DIY kits with pre-charged lines) as a full sized split system (traditional AC unit.) You (should) pressure test your lines and vacuum them out before releasing the charge. You also have to get a create a really good flare connection.

In addition, running the electrical is usually done by the HVAC company and setting up the mounting pad for the outdoor unit.

I completely agree that it isn't rocket science, and it's well within the realm of a skilled DIYer with about $250 in specialized tools. However, I can see why an HVAC company charges as much as they do. For an average install (not dead simple), it's probably 5-6 hours of labor, they have to pay for the company equipment, vehicles, health insurance, permits (my township requires one for a mini), taxes, etc.
I love Caspian Report, really amazing content!

If you have something constructive to say, even if that something is a reason criticism, then say it; this comes across as condescending and dismissive.

Yes and yes, but legal action takes time and the FDA wants to prevent adverse events rapidly. Expect legal action to follow in the future.

Most of them seem to be from Mexico, is this a comprehensive list? Or are most of the sanitizers that are imported into the US produced in Mexico?

Indeed, the media (primarily progressive) keeps tying those two together - wealth/prosperity is not a zero sum game.

I can understand why the narrative is appealing because it indicates extreme polarization - not left/right but top/bottom. Increasing income inequality is a concern and these headlines help with the message.
The movies "Baraka" and "Samsara", both by the same makers, come to mind.
The title makes it sound like the tech companies are making those record profits by evicting people.
IANAL and this is anecdotal, but:

I heard of an individual who very specifically left one dollar to one of their children. The logic being, if said child hadn't been mentioned in the will at all, there could be a claim that they'd been inadvertently left out...

I'm super curious how that works in practice.
Because people and money are moving online because "Digital transformation" is happening faster. It is nothing to do with the 40M americans facing evictions. Even if software companies didn't make profit, they'd have still faced evictions.
Aren’t there pubs or restaurants that air these for non-subscribers, like they do for soccer/football?

HN is also not an exception in this regard. Take any chinese related thread on HN and look at the comments pro chinese ccp party defending authoritarianism.
It wasn't "getting government out of the way." It was literally government working in tandem with the trade-union interests of finance, insurance, and real-estate to preserve the value of the "asset," real estate. The problem is BOTH the government AND allied private industry working AGAINST the interests of their constituents and clients. The correction here will be MASSIVE.
That's fair assuming that developers put in the effort to write the less fancy version. But if they don't I'd prefer to still have the option to run the software as written with worse performance.
Interesting question. NuScale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NuScale_Power) reactor appears to have a very low power density around 1.5 MW/m^3, by my estimate (2.7m dia, 20m tall, 60MWe -> 180MWth). They still rely on having coolant (water) present in the reactor to avoid a meltdown, although it should circulate automatically by boiling & condensing.

The trick is that something like 10% of a fission reactor's thermal output continues for many hours due to decay heat, whereas with a fusion reactor that can be orders of magnitude less, with appropriate material choices.

> I can aim to max out 401k contributions, and then what?

unless your 401k has extremely good expense ratios (<0.1%), i'd: put enough into the 401k to get the full employer match, then max vanguard/fidelity/schwab IRAs for yourself and your partner. then go back and max the 401k.

(i think you'll want to do a backdoor roth on that IRA, but i'm not familiar with that, as my income isn't quite there yet.)

at 200k i expect you can pull all of that off easily enough.

> I consider things like side hustles...

at this point you're already generating more funds than you can squeeze into tax advantaged status. so... make as much as you can, save as much of it as you can, and aim towards investments that produce fewer dividends, so that you can reduce your tax burden.
Why is that downvoted? Genuine question. It feels just as relevant as the other comments. Sure it's a specific case of someone having a newborn, but that's hardly uncommon and could apply to a lot of people here (if not now maybe later in life).
Wake up around 5. Go for a 2 mile walk. Make breakfast. Work until 11. Go for a 10 mile bike ride. Shower, get dressed, have lunch. Work until 2:30. Work on my side projects until 3:30. Go hang out with family until dinner. After dinner, spend some 1 on 1 time with a family member. Then read, draw or paint until bedtime, around 9.
As far as the mind has physical effects, it can be studied scientifically. When I study a building by studying its steel frame, I am studying the building inasmuch as the steel frame is a component of the building.
Boooo. Hiss.
It’s true though. I’d rather have so-so technology plus great market and marketing than the best technology in the world and sod all ability to sell it. You can always improve the technology later, once you’re generating the revenue to pay for that. But if you don’t have sales you don’t have squat.

Been there, done that, lost the shirt. Lessons learned.
I wouldn’t necessarily say the first thing is good. Those profits are partially the result of non-competitive behavior everyone would be better off if they were much smaller. But, indeed, the title is there to be provocative.
For all of the issues with Trump, he was right to point out the plight of post-manufacturing working class Americans, the rise of North Korea as a nuclear power, and problems with the US-China relationship.

He just handled all these issues poorly. He really only helped the rust belt by getting a handful of token factories to not close. Nothing really came of his meeting with Kim, and tensions have even escalated slightly. On the China front, he started a trade war with China and worked on some technology bans (both questionably helpful), and at the same time withdrew from the TPP, started trade disputes with strong allies, and weakened NATO. Coordinated response and strong western alliances would have been far more effective, but he did neither.

I'm a pretty casual vinyl listener (mostly got into it since I like having a physical representation of the music I love, and to reclaim some sense of ownership in a world defined by Spotify and Apple Music). I enjoyed this post, and more or less agree with the author's opinion that claims of superior vinyl audio quality are bunk - and particularly meaningless in a world where most new music is recorded or produced digitally in the first place.

That said, I probably still would avoid a cheapo player like this that does not have an adjustable tone arm. For one, it's more likely to have issues skipping when you can't adjust it properly. The second concern - which I'll admit I have no data to back up, and since this is an opinion from the audiophile community, may warrant some skepticism - is that cheap players with unbalanced tone arms are infamous for supposedly wearing down records more quickly over time by applying too much pressure.

The author's note about the stereo output being unbalanced, by the way, is a relatively common side effect of an unbalanced tone arm (though there's various other reasons it can occur).
My dad was a USAF fighter pilot; he kept his in-flight circular slide rule around for years. Unfortunately I didn't see it around when clearing out the house out after he and my mother died; I know I'd have kept it (because I've still got my yellow Pickett aluminum Model N-500-ES, © 1962).
In the article it says this move by Google is worse than Amazon investing in businesses and stealing info. How is this worse? Google bought the whole company, didn't make partial investment. They can do whatever they want with the company.
It’s arguably lawful. By the Brazilian Constitution, investigation on crimes committed against the Supreme Court are to be presided and supervised by the court itself. Furthermore, it’s been established that the whatever case comes out of the investigation will be sent to the Attorney General. It’s up to him follow prosecution. So no, they’re not the inquirer and the judge.

Questioning procedures is a healthy part of the democratic game. But it doesn’t change the fact that there’s evidence that crimes we’re committed, and legal action is being taken.
Could you make one equivalent to the other, by R-S encoding a key? And if you have less than the whole key (assuming it's large enough that the missing portion is still bruteforce-resistant), then even a partial reconstruction of the key still gives you none of the data.
Looking at translations as if they represent languages seems like a common beginner trope. -- I certainly made that mistake.

Funny that the upstream commenter essentially praises Spanish as superior to English, Spanish being the language I dismissed as less expressive than English when I was a noob.

A bad Netflix or literary Spanish translation, for example, is full of frustrating ambiguity ('who is the antecedent of "su" here? "Bajó"? Who bajó?? At least in English we have to use "he" or "she"!'). And, with experience, you realize that native Spanish writers will keep things disambiguated, it's just crappy translation shortcuts that don't. And trying to compare translations is only an exercise in comparing translators.

Though you said it better than I did.

This type of phrasing really is terrible and unnecessary. Writers at Vice made a killing in profits off of the pandemic as well, just as they do from every event that allows them to stoke fear and write hit pieces, but you don't see them being shamed here

This is a solid post - I would say tho that sometimes the right way to view product development is through the lens of media. The bucketing approach in the article breaks down somewhat if you are not directly targeting solving a problem, but creating a medium for people to solve problems using their own creativity. So the question of features reduces down to how far the feature enhances the reach of the medium, not if they are (together or in aggregate) game changers wrt solving problems, because you as the product designer are not in then business of solving the problem, the customer is.
Reflection on Hive as Data Warehouse
What does MIMO stand for?
I don't have a great understanding of the algorithms here, but I have a question.

If I had some data encrypted with these tools, which I made public for multiple entities to process, is it possible for me to allow them to add data to the encrypted system? i.e., is there a way for multiple entities to add more data to the encrypted data (and do calculations with the encrypted contents) while only one party is able to extract the results of the whole resulting collection of data?
Sounds like you're the one offended. Great 4000 year history of China is CCP party line. Reading neutral sources you'll find it's more nuanced than that.

There's some evidence remaining that China was once a collection of societies. Notably language. The CCP insists that all of China speaks Mandarin, but thats only the case since the cultural revolution.

Chinese writing is indeed nearly universal. But spoken language once had many dialects, and still does to an extent. These dialects are sometimes mutually unintelligible. If it wasn't for CCP party line they would be considered different languages, as part of Chinese language family. Much like many of the southern Asian languages are different languages that cluster together.

Not very descriptive. Many things are that.
I call shenanigans. There is nothing inherently different about numbers and letters. They are all just abstract shapes. There is no possible way that evolution could have produced a mechanism that could distinguish between the two without training.

> Safe rust prevents all those memory bugs, instead causing a panic.

Rust is even stronger than that, in the vast majority of cases, panics are not related to memory bugs as those are caught at compile time in Rust (panics are usually the quick and dirty way to deal with invalid files names and such things, as Rust refuses to accept those silently).

It's possible that there's common manufacturing involved, either of an ingredient or the whole product. That's fairly common for this sort of rather generic product, and can lead to extremely broad recalls. A while back, almost all hummus in the UK and Ireland was recalled; turns out practically all manufacturers shared one company in the supply chain.
For small personal projects, I think a fair rule of thumb is: is anyone else using it? Once that answer turns to yes, you need to get your exit plan in place.

And +1 for failing fast. It is failing slow that’s the disaster.

You said technology is the least important part - not that it’s less important than sales or marketing.
The problem with centrally planned economies wasn't one of processing power, it was one of information. The market is essentially based on "actions speak louder than words": if someone is willing to spend their hard-earned money on something, this reveals their preference for this thing. The market aggregates these preferences, incentivising production that meets this demand.

Without a system for people to express such preferences, it's impossible to determine what to produce, no matter how much processing power is available, because one cannot know what people want. If people were given some allocation of credits that they could spend to indicate what they'd like, then that's just a market under another name.
Not to mention schools using grades, signed slips, and other extrinsic motivators to encourage conformity and obedience, all the while extinguishing any intrinsic motivation, like curiosity.

I'm sure the way schools look made a lot of sense in the time of industrialisation and the manual labour of the factory worker, but it's crazy we still shape students by that mould when it's so far removed from the creative pursuits we expect them to go on later in life.
Seems to me that you could place tickmarks or colored dots or something, at the E12 values along one scale (where resistors are usually binned) and the E6 values along the other scale (caps are usually sold in E6), and then it'd be an even quicker glance to see where two line up.

DataDuet: A newsletter about data and tech for humans
I'm excited by the prospect of OffscreenCanvas, and yet at the same time I'm not convinced that it's going to be massively useful for my canvas library[1]. The one area where it could have a big impact (I think) would be to run the OC in a web worker alongside the bulk of the library's code, leaving the main thread to deal with final canvas display, user interactions, etc. But to implement that I'd need to recode the entire library from scratch.

At the moment I generate additional canvas elements in the code (in a pool, for reuse) and use them without adding them to the DOM. I'm happy with the resulting frame rates, and the flexibility the system gives me for creating responsive, accessible canvas elements in the web page. This is all done using a simple 2d context (even the bendy images code[2] is 2d, rendered in the main thread). I've avoided WebGL and the whole GPU acceleration thing because shaders scare me more than quaternions!

Yes, it's because people tend to think of features linearly. Eg "let's add one more feature". But since they tend to interact the complexity of the project grows multiplicatively.
