I’m French too and never read this letter before. But I don’t see much difference in the letter with who she was. She s just saying goodbye and ask for redemption as any catholic would. I don’t agree with the article who tries to focus on her personality and manner. She was wether she liked it out not a ruler, the French did not kill her and the king because of their manners and their personality (the king was a nice guy too) They did because of the course of history and because so many were suffering at the time and a greater effort was asked from them (paying debt / while Marie Antoinette kept burning cash)

It was awful and bloody and many revolutionary were awful people uneducated and prompt to bloodbath. But it soon inspired so many nations to move towards democracy that sometimes if not always history shows that awful people can build great things (pirates in New York etc..)

I remember she hated Lafayette for example to put some USA perspective she must have hated Washington too.

Rulers should be judged indeed on victory or defeat this current fashion of looking back at history to say individuals had good or bad personalities is dangerously capable of transforming the worst people into adorable ones.

Her story is the story of the Romanov in Russia or the Shah in Iran. People who loved to party and who had great education would be people
You would love to hang out with today for sure.

But they did so while their own people were on the verge of collapsing... I don’t see a parallel with Hillary neither, if Hillary was burning millions of dollars when her husband was in power and partying all the time in the poorest city with people dying in the street then you would have had Marie Antoinette but Hillary acted as a ruler and worked hard to help her country (wether you like her politics or not)

There's the old quote misattributed to John Steinbeck:

> Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
Yeah, once.

It gets worse the farther they go.
> I suggest you familiarize yourself with WW2 history before being an apologist for Japan in that period.

What makes you think the GP isn't familiar with it? The vile propaganda and sheer racism of the US against Japan and the Japanese is established fact, regardless of Japan's own actions.

What Drew is saying is absolutely correct though. YAML was specifically designed to be a superset of JSON. Conversely, when JSON was designed, YAML did not exist, so it only became a subset of YAML when the latter was introduced.
I mean when I was in school for a few grades some of my teachers assigned Khan Academy so it was basically that.

I don't think it worked well, but honestly I can imagine a good teacher just replacing whatever course material they're using with KA and lecture off of it, while still somehow incorporating classroom interaction
My University library had a basement, with desks with side panels. This was the best place to study. Later had a desk under stairs in the basement, where I programmed.

A very quiet place, with no distractions makes it easiest to focus. A notepad to write notes also helps.

But I think not seeing the Sun, and hearing the Outside world, causes one to lose track of time, and space. And lets you focus more. Why rain works.

Casinos take advantage of this. You typically can't see the Sun, so you concentrate on the slot machines longer. The busy carpet makes you lose orientation.

Going for a walk, fresh air, and being a little tired from exercise, helps you to settle down.

But I think the key is motivation. If your life literally depended on getting something done, you would try so much harder.
There has to be some sort of reason for what you are doing.
Japan attacked US military targets and the US killed their civilians in retribution. This is pure, undisputed fact (well, for most apparently).
> To take the simplest idealized example, if the production of goods and services is unchanging, and people's needs are unchanging, the only possible source of price changes is a change in the money supply.

There are other possibilities. Suppose that employers gain bargaining power relative to the workers, but people are really resistant to taking a pay cut. The employers all raise prices instead.
As with the Romanovs, the fear was that so long as the legitimate bloodline existed so did the motivation for putting it back on the throne.

It is difficult to see these things through modern eyes, especially in the human rights era. But we have to remember that hereditary monarchs tended to do this to each other a lot. Of necessity - most of the European rulers were blood relatives; power struggles inevitably meant disputing an inheritance. Antoinette's brother was the Holy Roman Emperor. When he died her nephew lead the invasion of France by Austria.

And the punishment for disloyalty was death. If somehow the Bourbons had restored their position, they would have had all the revolutionary leaders executed. As with the Romanovs. Or Elizabeth I'd execution of her cousin Mary.
We badly over-use general anesthesia. Next to antibiotics it might be the most over-used thing in medicine. When you scratch the surface of the neuroscience of general anesthesia you will never want to experience it in your life if you can help it. It's effectively a controlled coma, and though we can control it, we don't know the precise mechanism of action. (Like so many things with the central nervous system it was discovered by trial-and-error.)

If you're having a medical procedure and the physician mentions general anesthesia, always ask if IV sedation works as an alternative.
I suspect this varies widely from person-to-person, but I'll share things that I find effective.

1. Create space for thinking.

Block off chunks of time. Snooze notifications. Close sources of distraction.

Set a timer/alarm so that I don't need to watch the clock. Leave a buffer between that alarm and whatever my next commitment is to wrap up/conclude.

Create a place where I capture my thinking. This could be a whiteboard, a piece of paper, a text editor, etc. I avoid nice notebooks because thinking involves writing down lots of unpolished things, starting over occasionally, etc. and I just can't bring myself to do that with a nice notebook.

2. Focus.

Pick a topic/question/hypothesis/whatever. Set up a "parking lot" for interesting things that occur to me that I don't want to get distracted with.

Sometimes it's hard to articulate what the topic is. In that case, I do some basic mind mapping of related terms/topics/whatever and then draw a box around the area I'm focus on.

Occasionally look back at the topic and make sure that's what I'm actually thinking about.

3. Work in order.

Think about the problem first, in detail, before thinking about solutions. Similar to the above, stick any inklings of potential solutions in a parking lot. This includes considering the characteristics/qualities of a good solution; this helps me avoid getting attached to any initial seemingly-elegant solutions that don't actually have the qualities I think are important (anchoring is a real thing, even if you're aware of it).

When considering the problem or solution, I try to brainstorm ideas, then organize those ideas into a "space" (either problem space or a solution space), and then figure out the key "dimensions" of that space.

Identify the key questions that narrow (e.g., bisect) that space. Focus on those, versus getting bogged down in details of an option that may turn out not to be relevant. Often, these become "next steps".

4. Separate thinking from producing.

Separate writing-as-a-way-to-think from writing-as-a-way-to-communicate. I can't do both at the same time effectively; I end prioritizing clarity over substance. Similarly, I struggle to rapidly produce useful proof-of-concept code unless I promise myself it's going to get thrown away. Readability, maintainability, accuracy, etc. are all hugely important, but not for the first stages of thinking.

Once I've finished thinking, then I can write an actual document for others to consume.
Very strange that Russians did not return to the Piss&Løve-tactics of 1970s. It worked very well, as leftist peace-movement managed to erode the defence of almost every European country. Sweden was the prime target. The Swedish "Nuclear-Free North"-initiative for example meant literally that only Russians can have Nukular Weapons in the North.

Can somebody explain to me the limits of geothermal exploitation? It seems to be a limited resource to me. Even more limited than fossil fuels. Those will replenish in a few million years. But heat from the earth’s core will be gone till the end of time. No? Let alone effects on earthquakes or changing the magnetic field and these kind of things.
I think you are correct.

It's kind of a surprising amount of money, don't watch any of the exclusive content or other services, but I pay for YouTube because I don't want my kid watching ads. I cringe when he has a teacher that plays a video and pre-roll comes up (I almost forget YouTube has ads). What's really annoying is that is school's Google account doesn't have it and his personal does...so there's a bit of annoying Google account juggling.

I would like to point out that we also are taught that "good peasants rose up for liberte fraternite and egualite, against bad aristocracy" (is there a good aristocracy ?), but we are taught of the massacres and other bad aspects too.

The revolution is still a founding moment of the french "identity", and apart from a few late-to-the-party 2020's monarchists, we pretty much all believe that we did the right thing by kicking out the nobility.

In here and in the article it sound as if QUIC or HTTP3 use or build a new Internet Protocol, while it was my understanding it _simply_ uses UDP to create a better version of TCP.

Of course an all new IP would be great, but the issue is it would take very long for all the soft and hardware to support it and UDP is simply there.

I would prefer for a new HTTP to go an all new way, leaving behind UDP and TCP and build something new. Then support fallback over HTTP1/2 until everything else caught up.

AtariFan #1 – review in English by FJZ
Assuming it is a 0-sum game is a mistake. The rich can stay rich and yet other people can rise above, if we build more and more elaborated structures, and in fact, this is a goal. The 0-sum game only exists if we keep the same structures, science, tech, governance and social hierarchies.

About this, 86% of today’s billionaires didn’t have billionaire parents. The elites were surprisingly well renewed for our generation.

Some people would want the social elevator to work from -1 to +100 in one generation, this is unrealistic and wouldn’t even be wise because it takes a lot of knowledge to manage large groups of people. But if the top 40% can threaten the top 1% at each generation, and the bottom 60% threaten the top 40% in a single generation, then we’ve made it, we’ve given power to people who will need to keep working if they want to stay atop, and they’ll be accountable, and this is the important part.
I think in Japan the best way to have mobile Internet is to get a tourist SIM card from the airport. I do not recall the price, but I remember I had considered them fair. They might not be compatible with your phone though. The problem is with the supported bands and there is no way to fix it. It either works or it does not.

If you do not want to stop using your current SIM card or if you have an incompatible phone, you can rent an “egg”. It is a small mobile hotspot that your devices connect over WiFi. It is also useful if you are a group, because multiple people can connect to it, so you just get one.

Outside of taxes, it is also a matter of political choices

The Swiss took the decision to develop the train as a first transport choice nationally... Even trucks transiting through Switzerland are loaded on trains.

And the result is there: They have a good network with a good service that unify the country.

That a strategy totally at the opposite of what USA and many European countries chose to do in the 90's: Close as many small train lines as possible and develop road transport.

Ask HN: Alarm clock that's not a phone
I'm trying to reduce the amount of time I spend with my phone. I'm looking for a good alarm clock to rid me of having the phone in my bedroom.

Two of the features I enjoy with my iPhones alarm is a) it turns of on weekends automatically and b) it has very pleasant wake-up sounds. Is there a standalone alarm clock that does this as well?

I have to few hours in a day at the moment, so "sounds like a fun raspi project" won't cut it, I'm afraid.

That's not expected. If you can send me a performance profile I'll look into it. My nick @fb.com.
This text succinctly summarizes what I struggled to express to some of my colleagues. It doesn't offer a solution but it neatly highlights the problem. A lot of attention is being paid to things like keyboards, mice, software used to write code and I never understood that fetish. These are just tools, tools aren't the job.

Pretty much every dev I know has a history with or knows of a manager who optimized metrics that were easy to optimize (bugs closed, LOC written, code coverage numbers) instead of looking at some elusive "big picture". We recognize these typically aren't good performance metrics. The same people would agonize over the type of keyboard switches and vim configurations and boast that they can write more code faster.

In solar, there are no naturally occurring concentrated sources of energy. We have to concentrate it in certain ways, or use solar panels.

Residential solar will definitely reduce load and transmission losses. However a broad strategy must be required by governments to plan and establish solar plants.

For example, it makes sense to have a coherent solar planning policy taking into account the huge consumers of electricity (cities and industries) and planning solar plants near them, reducing the losses in transmissions (which can go upto 33% or more). Additionally, if the production and consumption are close by, transmissions can be made with lower voltage and higher currents, perhaps even HVDC, to unlock even more efficiencies.
The guiding principle of a service offering a library of content is CHOICE.

Spotify, Netflix, Amazon - all did reasonably well against competitors since they offered more choices to the user.

They built a service that deliberately imposes limitations based on platform - leaving users unable to access whatever already severely limited content library it offers.

It doesn't take business experience or even any education to spot this disaster from a mile away. So I am a bit puzzled as to what these leaders were thinking.
It's interesting to see all these comments about finally the Europeans are defending themselves and comparisons to the US. The US has used their forces pretty much exclusively for offensive means in the last decades. Even if the US would be reducing to their capabilities to only defend themselves and their allies they could likely cut military spending in half (this has become a bit more complex because how the US is using its military has caused China to massively expand their spending as well), but that would mean they could not enforce their economic interests everywhere in the world.
Then it's not the same thing!
I'm sorry.

Youtube and netflix aren't the same thing either. One has to pay for hosting costs, the other has to pay for hosting AND sourcing/production costs.

(*I am simplifying here. I am aware Youtube is more than that)
I think so! I don’t mind it though - it lets Microsoft try and make some extra money that supports the development of GitHub and it lets developers get some cheap signalling for their CV.
When my kids are older, they will probably still be on tiktok with all the other old folks of the future, scrolling lawyer adverts "if you or your loved ones were hurt by tesla autopilot you are entitle to compensation..."

Ugh, this has Microsoft's playbook written all over it. Introduce a certification, thus increasing the gap between developers who (had their employee) pay Microsoft and developers that didn't. Conflate a generic concept (Git in this case) with Microsoft's specific implementation (Github), muddying the difference in managers' lexicons. Attempt to set Github as a standard to reach in everyone's mind.

I mean there's a certificaiton, so it has to be something we shouldn't miss out on, right?
