We have a generation of management that doesn't understand this because a lot of their work didn't involve the intersection of technical and creative thinking, nor do they understand technology.

Some of my best work occurs in the shower, laying in bed, in the restroom, browsing articles that generate ideas, having a casual chat, etc. but if I'm not pounding code or diagrams out at a certain velocity or sitting in meetings, someone who doesn't understand my job will wonder exactly what I'm getting paid for.

For a country so obsessed with migrating to IP based economics, we have a business culture that seems to understand nothing about intellectual work or want to play ignorant to slave drive more efficiency out of the workforce.

Yes, I do bill time I'm thinking about your project while I'm the shower. It may not be tangible to you but your work is occupying my mind and you're getting some of my best thoughts.

We need business culture and labor laws to shift to support this, the issue is, the intangible nature of it makes businesses cringe because it's difficult to quantity and know they're not being cheated, yet they sell the very same intangibles to consumers regularly set at arbitrary price points and that's perfectly fine.

I always wondering if there was a way to gamify the learning of metabolic pathways.

The original writers actually got it wrong, it was buggy code -- or kind of accidentally not buggy due to a quirk of the particular architecture it ran on, if I get the gist of what they are explaining, I definitely don't get the details!

Ask HN: How can I improve my design documentation?
I am usually good at creating design and architecture for the problem at hand, but I really suck in documentation.

I get confused between different UML diagrams and how to put the architecture in different blocks and represent relationship between them? OR how much should this sequence diagram cover? Should it be covered in flow diagram or sequence diagram.

This is holding me back and I have no clue how to improve this. This has been brought up during the performance review.

The soul of a new machine:

“So it’s up early the next morning for Veres. He doesn’t want any interference; he wants time alone with this bug. To Veres, debugging the machine — particularly the [Instruction Processor], the part that he helped to design — has become ‘a very personal thing.... A computer, to people who designed it — it is part of them. You can almost feel what’s wrong with it.’ This problem feels like a time bomb. But how to find it?
‘I get quite a lot of work done in the morning while taking a shower,’ says Veres. ‘Showers are kinda boring things, all things considered.’ Now in the shower, before leaving for work, he conceives a new approach.”
I can and have reproduced this for over a week now and have been hammering google & apple to fix it with no luck. Google says it's an Apple issue and Apple says it's a Google issue. The issue only appears to surface under specific use cases and always requires the user to have setup Mail.app on macOS or iOS with the gsuite account/user set to type "Google" vs. "IMAP". This seems to be the real pickle as all the following use cases below require this to be true for the link manipulation to occur. The same messages viewed in gmail.com or in Mail.app on macOS or iOS with the account type set to "IMAP" have their links left untouched.

- Sending a message from a gsuite account user to an external party DOES NOT show the issue

- Sending a message from an internal gsuite account user to another user in the same gsuite account + another user outside of the gsuite account DOES show the issue

- Sending a message from a gsuite account user to another gsuite user in the same account DOES NOT show the issue

- Sending a message from an external account into a gsuite account user DOES SHOW the issue (this might be tied to admin settings in G Suite > Settings for Gmail > Safety - still needs to be tested more)

- The same messages that DO SHOW the issue only show it in Mail.app on macOS & iOS when the gsuite user account is setup as "Google" vs. "IMAP". It DOES NOT show up in the GMAIL iOS app nor does it show up in the gmail.com web interface.

Google support has been effectively useless. Apple support has honestly done more to shed light on the issue. However, both companies are blaming the other and refusing to escalate to engineering or get on a call with the other company to sort this out together. Of course, Google support claims nobody else is reporting this, while Apple support alerted me to this thread. Super frustrating all around. If you are a Gsuite user please report this so I'm not yelling into the wind here. I can also confirm for my account the issue started on October 6, 2020.

This might actually be good. It seems to be an alternative way to enable law enforcement instead of breaking encryption. EDRi has a document outlining solutions for law enforcement without breaking encryption: https://edri.org/files/encryption/workarounds_edriposition_2...

> It promises the country’s largest military expansion for 70 years

In the 1960s Sweden was months from an atomic bomb and had pretty solid plans for at least 2 legs of a nuclear triad. This may be the largest expansion by expenditure but it’s a relatively small change in posture.
I have _absolutely_ regretted writing a parser by hand. Once I replaced it with an ANTLR grammar and a comparatively-trivial bit of glue, my thrift parser became not only easier to refactor but more reliable.

My hand-written recursive descent parser was a perennial source of bugs, where ANTLR has yielded almost none. Some fiddly things I was doing with comments became much easier, if not effortless.

I highly, HIGHLY recommend at least starting with a compiler-generator like ANTLR. The "activation cost" of your project will be much lower, and you may find that you never actually _need_ the level of control you give up.
This is the question to dwell on I think. I don't know if there are mental ergonomics that apply universally, or even ones that generalise well. For me, I recognise that I think well when I'm physically engaged in some other non-cognitive task, like walking, running, showering, etc.

Another key factor is eliminating the risk of interruptions. I know when I'm at my desk I'm likely to get interrupted, but times and spaces that are interruption free seem to encourage the deepest thought.

> right now they are "macromanaging" it away from a system that could possibly work

Yes, but not the way you are claiming.

> Inflation is the treadmill that keeps the economy going

If by "inflation" you mean printing money, no, that is noise in the price signals that keep the economy regulated. And as central banks print more and more of it, they mask valid price signals more and more and thereby make the regulation of the economy worse and worse. And then they claim they need to print more money to "fix" the problem.

If by "inflation" you mean "prices going up", if the money supply were fixed, the prices of everything going up would signal an unhealthy economy, not a healthy one. With a fixed money supply, in the short term, whenever the supply/demand situation changes (and it is always changing), some prices will go up and some will go down. In the long term, the general price level would be expected to go down as average productivity improves. If the general price level is going up, it means average productivity is getting worse, which, as noted, is a sign of an unhealthy economy.

The main purpose of printing money is to allow governments to obfuscate the fact that they are making the economy worse by masking what would otherwise be obvious price signals showing it. Every ordinary person understands that if the prices of everything are going up, that's bad. So governments, politically, cannot allow sustained increases in the general price level, unless they are so small as to not be noticeable except over many years. But they can't micromanage their way to a healthy economy either, so their only choice is to print money to disguise what is going on.

> the obvious answer to solving unemployment is a job guarantee funded through "printing" money

This would be government micromanagement on an even more massive scale and would be a disaster.

The obvious answer to solving unemployment is to make it easier for people to start businesses, since that is what creates new jobs. The way to do that is for the government to stop micromanaging the economy and let individual people figure things out.
I can confirm this has nothing to do with that as I do not have it enabled on my account and can reliably reproduce the issue. See my other replies in the thread for more details.

On one hand yes. On the other hand, YouTube recommendations are pretty great. The last time I went to the homepage on a fresh browser, I found almost none of the content interesting. If websites end up tracking users without sending ads and you have self control (turn off notifications and only watch for a fixed amount of time) then it's not an issue.
On the other hand I’ve worked on projects where talking is a prop to disguise that no-one knows what to do. Where a dozen people sit in a room and talk for an hour without saying anything and we all walk out dumber than when we walked in.

This rings very true to me. And the more annoying extension is that the "managerial types" justify their time spent on work with these meaningless bs talks, while devs are guilt tripped every time they've to explain time spent on thinking / analysis.
long-term probably both are good ideas. i would think geothermal would be more stable over a long period of time.

That might be true for a coast to coast flight vs. a coast to coast train ride. But most travelling is not that distant.

The population density in America as a hole is far smaller than in Switzerland, but the population density in NY State is almost double that in Switzerland. In fact, the population density on the US coasts, where most of the infrastructure is, is in the same range as in Europe. The cost of laying and maintaining a few train tracks over the sparsely populated US interior is not the reason it's more expensive in the US.

Railroads in Switzerland are built in extremely mountainous terrain with lots of expensive tunnels etc. and in expensive urban areas.

This is an amazing write up, thanks for sharing and congratulations on the marriage.
I didn’t think any of these points were very strong.

const x = {immutableValue}

That tells me the thing is fully immutable. Whether it’s a global variable or not, that’s still nice to know when reading the code! Likewise:

let x = {immutableValue}

const x = {mutableValue}

These tell me different things. The first tells me I should look out for re-assignment, the second that I should look out for mutation of the value.

In contrast, this:

let x = {mutableValue}

Clearly has the most cognitive load. Anything could happen with this. If it’s a bigger, more complex function/whatever, “what happens to x, it could be anything” is just one more thing to fit in my head as I try to figure out what this code does. Enough little uncertainties like this, and I have to give up understanding by reading entirely, and resort to a debugger. Had the author limited the scope of what was possible, it’d be a bit easier to understand, with really no drawbacks. It’s not the end of the world, but “small, simple, easy thing I can do to make the code easier to understand for future readers” ... why not do that?

> Slave revolts have been common throughout history, and while largely unsuccessful they disagree with your assessment.

Here is a complete list of all historically attested successful slave revolts: Haiti, 1791

That’s it. Revolutions require leadership. Overwhelming that’s going to be the educated or otherwise reasonably comfortable, or those who were recently so and want it back. Peasant revolts fail without leaders, who are either going to be nobles or bourgeois. Those who can’t organize can’t win and a bureaucracy requires literate men, who are very unlikely to be poor. Revolutions win. Slave revolts not so much.

The computing power used for proof-of-work is not proportional to the number of transactions. Computationally, it's relatively cheap to verify the entire transaction history.

The real energy consumption comes from miners who use a crazy amount of computer power to secure the network. Bitcoin's transaction history is immutable because changing it would require an even crazier amount of computing power - too much for any malicious actor who tries to attack the network.

The amount of energy used is a feature, not a bug. There are no alternative designs known that could replace proof-of-work while keeping its security assurances, permissionless participation, fair distribution of coins, unforgeability, etc.
One of the first sentences of that report mentions an increasing difficulty in maintaining shared understanding of world events. I wonder, what are we to do?
