My German high-school for some reason had one room with those chairs (which made them an interesting change once a week, not really annoying), but we had some lefty ones too.
Imagine a takeout pizza restaurant run entirely by one woman. She opens the store in the morning, receives shipments, does food prep, takes orders, makes pizzas, delivers them, closes at night, files paperwork, and cleans up. By the end of the day she only gets a few dozen pizzas to customers. And as she's going to sleep, she tosses and turns, worrying that she didn't get enough done.

Now imagine her sole task for the day was to prep ingredients. How do you think she'd sleep?
Maybe for cans, but major brewers in Ontario use a small number of standard bottles, and when those come back through the return system, they are in fact pressure washed and refilled— a far more environmentally efficient process than sending them for general-stream glass recycling.

I worked briefly at the Molson plant in Etobicoke and they literally have machines which cut apart skids of 12-pack boxes, wash off the old labels, all of it.

Maybe Apple could be given a choice here: user-replaceable battery with a refundable core charge, or they have to build a battery recycling program with the same sort of core charge applied at purchase.

The core charge would be returned if the user sells the phone to any legit business (funded by the core charge originally paid to Apple). If the user sells the phone on eBay, the buyer can recover the core charge later, so it’s part of the market value of any phone that has a battery in it.

The charge also could be recovered if the phone is given to a recycling center. It’s on Apple to figure out how to get the batteries out and pay whoever does that work. Apple can decide whether to do the engineering to make the battery replaceable up front, or fund the delicate labor of taking apart the phone later.

Well, it advertised itself as a simple way to provide a GUI for Python scripts.

I can think of lots of good uses for Flutter, but “a simple way to add a GUI to a Python script” isn't one of them.

So, I'm going to say they are entirely unrelated products with basically non-overlapping domains.
I never understood why modern women still tend to change their name. It's definitely not something anyone expects, in my experience at least.

I took my husband's name largely because it was a cheap, easy and very private means to stop having the same last name as someone who molested and raped me. I kept my married name when I divorced on the socially acceptable reason that it's the same name as my children. It's a valid reason, but the firmer reason was that my ex's last name is less objectionable than my rapist's last name as a moniker for myself.

Should I ever remarry, I am highly likely to again take my new husband's last name to try one last time to wash off the shit of my past.

Child molestation or other abuse by relatives is sadly all too common. I doubt anyone has formally studied it, but I would be shocked if it turned out I was the only woman who chose to change my last name for that kind of reason.

If we want real equality, we will also need to stamp out the gendered trends in sexual assault. It is typically a male assaulting a female and this can have lifelong negative impact when she is assaulted at a young age.
This is exactly how both religious cults and fascist regimes work.

Both social forms require rigid distinction between the in-group and the out-group.

The in-group separates themselves from the out-group by the ritual of confirming that they believe things that are obviously false.

Similar to how criminal gangs use tattoos to both identify the in-group to each other, and to ensure the out-group won't accept them if they defect.

The frustrating thing about lowering brightness is that on a great number (probably the majority) of computer displays, lower brightness comes with lower contrast and color vibrance as a side effect of the pixels and backlight being separate layers in traditional LCDs.

Because of this, for me the biggest benefit of upgrading to a phone with an OLED display was that it enabled me to adjust my phone's brightness without such dramatic loss of contrast and vibrance. Unfortunately I don't think OLED panels will ever become practical for desktop monitors… they're just now becoming somewhat available in laptops and even then sometimes come with issues similar to those seen in early OLED phone screens. We're probably going to have to wait for microLED tech to mature to get this benefit in full sized monitors.
Hong Kong was legally handed over to China, but they had a 50(?) year handover period which they're breaking. Taiwan was never China's. A bunch of Chinese nationals went to China during the cultural revolution, and China would love to have Taiwan, but Taiwanese people are basically Chinese refugees and do not want that. China has been posturing to conquer them for years. My wife's parents (Taiwanese) immigrated to Canada during one of the periods of high tension between the countries. China was flying fighter jets over Taipei as an intimidation tactic.

Human intuition lets us walk and drive cars. It has proven really hard to replicate using computers. I really doubt we will solve this any time soon.
Sure. But the pointer of the parent poster was that you still won't observe the error unless you are interacting with the socket again. If you have a blocking thread per request model and your thread is blocked on the database IO, then it won't look at the original request (and it's source socket) for that timeframe.

There is no great OS solution for handling this. You kind of need to run async IO on the lowest layer, and at least still be able to receive the read readiness and associated close/reset notification that you can somehow forward to the application stack (maybe in the form a `CancellationToken`)
I should have clarified: for the lithium battery case, I'm not talking about people going through residential trash, but rather than the incentive would make it worthwhile for small operations to sort through e-waste bins from retailers and so-on.
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one that seems to be happy to just sit on a dining chair when at my desk?

When the WFH wave hit, people seemed to be going mad buying webcams and office chairs. Loads of people I work with spent a lot of energy researching and discussing chairs etc.

I have a sit-stand desk and I stand for perhaps 2 to 3 hours any working day. But the rest of the time I just sit on a normal old wooden dining chair. No pain. No aches. No RSI. No CTS.

I've been doing this for decades and nothing seems to have gone wrong yet. I do run 2 to 4 times a week so I do wonder if that helps avoid problems?

Are all the uber-expensive office chairs just snake oil? Or have I just been lucky?
Yup, it's more like.... "are you REALLY SURE you want to use pure black?"
I was wondering that exact thing, especially after the command to not shoot it down unless it attempted to land. Seems to me that if I had a facility this sensitive, I’d want to see how the people running it reacted to someone—especially several skilled someones—attempting to break in.

I’ll admit I lean towards the skeptical end as far as UFOs having an extraterrestrial origin, although I’d say anything that doesn’t violate the laws of physics is technically possible. I can’t explain the accounts of aircraft maneuvering in ways that seem impossible for a physical aircraft to do, but one of the more interesting explanations I’ve heard is that, at least as far as the ones observed over Groom Lake, they might not have been physical aircraft at all:

Do you know that a person can commit suicide due to mental health[1]? That sounds pretty serious if you ask me.

You can’t accuse them of Islamophobia or hate content when there’s a long history of Islamic terror attacks in India, attempts to illegally annex territory from India into an Islamic nation (Pakistan trying to claim Kashmir), recent history in splitting India to create separate Islamic nations (Pakistan and Bangladesh), not to mention further brutal history of Islamic (Mughal) conquest and rule.

Why shouldn’t a party in India be Hindu nationalists and recognize the realities of Islam’s persistent threat to their way of life over hundreds of years? There’s no other space on the planet for Hindus other than India. Blind secularism is asking for a culture to disappear and be replaced by the homogeneous modern western culture, ultimately.
> Neil Schwartzman, executive director of the anti-spam group CAUCE, said Sendgrid’s 2FA plans are long overdue, noting that the company bought Authy back in 2015.

It's worth noting that this mixes up history. Authy was acquired by Twilio in 2015. Sendgrid was acquired by Twilio in 2019, there's no reason to assume in the 4 years interim that SG should have used Authy.
Wow. I wasn't quite expecting something as simple as "if CPU is not intel, make everything worse."
I agree with the above points (except Foxx - that looked too scary, so I pretended it didn't exist so I have no opinion on how good/useful it could be). Getting the database up-and-running on my local machine was pretty painless and AQL was a joy to use.

The thing that put me off using it for anything other than a local toy project was the costs (at the time) of hosting the database anywhere outside of my laptop. Deploying ArangoDB in a Docker container on AWS ECS was far too much money to justify for any of my side projects. Hopefully running costs are a lot cheaper nowadays?
Solar noon is only that in the middle of a timezone, isn't it? And if you live on the east or west border of a timezone its not. So arguments for some "natural" time would need some kind of dynamic time zones, which the world had before trains where invented and needed timezones for their timetables, IIRC.

I was on a similar situation until last month or so. I read this book called The Shallows by Nicholas Carr which references a lot of research that consuming lots of internet modifies your neural paths and makes you more distractable and harder to do deeper thinking (such as reading books, etc). I’ve since removed hn from my browser favorites and get a curated list of articles each friday from [1]. I just came here today to skim some articles as i’ve worked all day in a house project and my body hurts so I have no energy for other things.

This house project, some other mini-projects that i’ve done and the 2/3 books I read since last month is something i can now do because now I avoid HN (and the whole internet) by default..

I hear you, but I'll tell you what I tell my mentees:

Most of it distills down to being honest about your priorities. If you value relaxed mornings, relaxed evenings, and never feeling rushed before or after work, then there's nothing wrong with that. You're not obligated to go out with friends or allocate hours to hobbies during the weekday.

The problem comes when people say they value one thing, but when decision time arrives they do something else. If you have a hobby that requires 2-3 hours per week, then you make time a few nights per week to do it. If you want to go out with friends, then you make time to go out with friends.

Going to the gym is perhaps the easiest example. If you really value going to the gym, finding one hour three times per week is only about 3% of your waking hours. Find a gym located between your house and your office and travel time falls out of the equation.

Personally, I freed up an enormous amount of time by tightening up my schedule. Learning how to get out of bed, get dressed, eat breakfast, and get out the door in under 30 minutes was a game changer for me, and it wasn't even that difficult. Likewise, learning how to consolidate my chores and meal prep into small windows of time was an enormous improvement.

If you sleep 8 hours per night, you have 112 waking hours per week. If you spend 40 hours working and have a 30-minute commute each way (5 hours commuting per week), that leaves 67 hours of your own time. Even if you allocate half of that to chores and meal prep, you're still left with 34 hours, or basically an entire work week of personal time. Realistically, you're not going to spend 33 hours on chores, though.

It's all about priorities. If you don't want to real rushed or pressured during your off time, you don't have to, but you can't have it all.

We use our own email servers with our own IPs for automated emails (password resets, login tokens, welcome email, etc.) and MailChimp for newsletters. We have never had any real problem with Gmail or any other email provider.

We do see some of our clients having those problems, as far as we can tell, it is mostly caused by some sort of bad rating on IP blocks.
Americans, in my experience, tend to do some really crazy drives. Some people just casually might drive 2-3 hours to some random restaurant and the same amount back.

In many European countries, that would be a border-to-border trip.

But as the saying goes: Europeans think 100 miles is a long trip and Americans think that 100 years is old =)
Comparing costly new services to the national military budget is classic “whataboutism”. The military budget is a popular punching bag. It’s true, about 4% of the US GDP goes to the military. That 4% buys us — and our allies — nearly guaranteed deterrence from major armed conflict. And a lot of that spend goes right back into the economy.

It'd be interesting to extend this to handle pipelines, maybe by using some sort of thing where you drag from the output field(s) of a utility to an input field of another, causing them somehow to be fused.

An example of a paper from the pre-LaTeX era (heck pre-TeX): John Nash's dissertation https://library.princeton.edu/special-collections/sites/defa...

My points of interest:

- Greek letters aren't even available! Or even sub/super-scripts! And I thought I had it hard in highschool, writing up on math with MS Word.

- Parentheses are available (PDF p. 22) but it escapes me why he uses brackets for in-text annotation where today we'd use parentheses (as I am doing right now). And it seems his typewriter doesn't even have brackets available so he hand-writes it (PDF p. 26)

- In PDF page 10, there's a couple of lines (P_{i\alpha}(s*)...) where the space left for the math expressions are too generous. I wonder how that came to be especially as for most of the document the typesetting is pretty tight.

- I am very amused at the dedication to typewrite as much as possible. For instance, there will be short lines here and there to the effect of "Let <quantification> for <domain condition>" and the words "Let" and "for" will be typewritten! I would've handwritten that whole line by myself.
I'm not a fan of LibreCalc, and I don't know of many other GUI spreadsheet programs for Linux. A terminal-based program is also attractive because it can easily be scripted.

I just laughed out loud with the though of Stallman in a stock car with his head poking out the top with "GNU/Linux" branding all over the body.
Exactly right. Macro economics 101 provides the identity

MV = PQ

where M is the money supply, V is the velocity of money, P is the price level, and Q is national output.

So it's true that if you hold V and Q constant, then an increase in M will lead directly to increasing prices.

But in the chart linked below, you can see that the V fell off a cliff at the same time M increased.

There is, literally, an app for that. Dozens in fact. Plugshare and A Better Route Planner are the least bad ones.

I think most of this happens because lots of people say things like "the IO monad" when they actually just mean "IO". It misleads people into thinking the monad part is important. It isn't. IO is the tough concept. Monad is almost trivial.
Why can't an automated prover have intuition?

Today's automated provers don't, but then not so many years ago the successful computer chess players were all these boring rules-based brute force engines. And then DeepMind showed that a very different approach is better.
> true but unprovable under the axioms xyz?

Careful: we don't really talk about things which are "true but unprovable" in first-order logics.

By Goedel's completeness theorem, if a statement is true in all models of a first-order theory then it is provable. For any recursively axiomisable first-order theory of sufficient complexity, there exists some sentence which isn't provable [Goedel's First Incompleteness Theorem]: by contraposition of completeness, there exist models of the theory where the sentence is true, and models where the sentence is false.

So when you say "true but unprovable", you're probably talking about truth in the so-called "intended model": if something is independent of the first-order system (e.g. ZF) you're using as a foundation of mathematics, then you get to decide whether it's true or not! Once you've proven independence via e.g. forcing, it's up to you to decide whether the sentence should hold in your intended model: then you can add the appropriate axiom to your system.

Choice is independent from ZF: most mathematicians are OK with choice, so they chose to work in ZFC, but some aren't. Neither is "more valid" or "more true" from a purely logical perspective.

Interesting reading, thanks.

Would you be so kind as to share a picture of your setup ? To have a rough idea of heights, space arrangements, elbow positioning, etc. ?
The problem is they account for _simple_ database requests.

Which surely are common but long(er) running database requests or delegation to another service aren't super rare either.

Similar some of the frameworks might have major reliability problems which can randomly "crop up" due to thread pinning and similar.

I believe it should have some form of "chaos" test where instead of interacting with the DB it interacts with a another test server on both ends and the front and back connected server run through long random "chaos" simulation (and another version where a pre-recorded run is used for reproducibility).
I had never heard of this brand before, interesting. The Note 2 looks almost exactly like what I want.
That's why they're testing on pigs first. But even if this is not viable in humans, this will be HUGE for neuroscience and our understanding of the brain. Because right now our understanding of the brain is limited to a large extent by the inability to capture information from it in realtime, and inability to selectively stimulate it. That neuroscientist quoted upthread should be in awe of these new capabilities. It's like he's working with stick and twine and someone showed him a rocket engine. Instead they just sound like sour grapes - Neuralink is doing something an academic has no ability to do and will never have the ability to do because he's in academia and he can't build surgical robots or microscopic tungsten carbide wires.
>For novels, typesetting is an incredible false analogy. You need to learn how to communicate via writing on a technical level before you can write creatively (e.g stories).

Remember that the purpose of games is to communicate with the player, just as the purpose of a novel is to communicate with the reader. Novels do this through language, games do this through direction, design and assets, not the code. I think the analogy to typesetting is correct - writing the code that runs the game is a far lower level activity than writing the game itself.

>If someone doesn’t even know how to write a game loop, they are going to move on to game design?

If they do, it's only because a company doesn't want to hire outside of house. But one doesn't need to know how to write a game loop to know how to design a game, any more than one needs to know how to design a game in order to write a game loop. They're completely separate disciplines.

>It’s insane, design is a holistic process that requires a lot of exposure.

Not necessarily to programming. It can be useful, and sometimes with small studios or a single developer, it's unavoidable (but good design in those cases is usually the exception rather than the rule.)
I believe I'm accurately assessing the situation in America, in that any social networking site is much easier to "get your work published in" than any major (or minor) newspaper in the 20th century. The democratization of information means anyone can have a voice and be heard - including idiots, trolls, and clever organized trolls who turn idiots into useful idiots. (I'm not comparing e.g. Facebook to a theoretical completely open forum as you suggest.)

I can't truly speak authoritatively about Russian censorship, as my Russian language skills aren't very good and these are all things I've heard second-hand. But (back to the US) the issues, topics and tactics I'm talking about would hardly even get the attention of a censor in America anyway. You can stir the pot just by saying something like "African-Americans deserve reparations to compensate for slavery." Nobody is going to censor that. But it's poking at a long-time rift or scar in the American body politic and is almost guaranteed to flare up into a flame war. Especially if you have some other username arguing the opposite point, and a few trolls goading people on both sides.
