I always tend to fall asleep after midnight. 00:30 on weekdays where I have to force myself to get out of bed to get to work, 02:30 on holidays or self-employed periods where I can allow myself to follow a rhythm that's closer to natural. I am most alert between 18:00 and 01:00. I am barely able to do brainy work before 12:00, and have just given up on trying to force it. If I'm forced to get up early multiple days in a row, my rhythm will shift slightly, but it comes back after a few days if there is no pressure.

My partner is the opposite. She'll be almost comically tired after 22:00, but will normally wake up around 05:00 and be super alert in the morning. Sometimes even earlier.

On our natural rhythms, we will cover all but two or three hours of the day awake, mostly with one person who is alert and performs excellently. This would be ridiculously useful in a more dangerous world than modern civilian society, and it comes in super useful on days when the routine is out of the ordinary. An active holiday, long car trips, errands that need to happen on odd hours etc.

It's not a disorder, it's an adaption. At least unless it gets more extreme than our experience. If society doesn't fit, then screw society. Honestly. Make room for those who don't hit the median, please.
Good description, it is closer to Persona than to QFG... Somehow I never made the connection. I would say there's still some part of QFG in it though and the humor and writing does really feel like the Coles.

And yeah, Heroine's Quest is super hard, the other two are definitely easier.

That's insanely rough, it's so hard to imagine that someone can go through all that and come out the other side. It even sounds like the doctors themselves were dismissive of you.

Maybe it's not so much that people aren't looking for solutions, but they don't want advice from people who haven't yet shown that they understand what they are going through/need?
This, Crimea, and a ton of other places near Russia, have "occupation" because some stupid random URSS leader gave random territories away to random governors, because the logic was: "it is all part of URSS anyway".

So Nagorno-Nakahbath:

It been Armenian for THOUSANDS of years, there are structures there that are Armenian and 2000+ years old, also the place is full of the earliest christian churches (that were also armenian).

People that say Armenians must leave there because it is not theirs, are either ignorant of how the place became part of Azerbaijan (URSS gave it to Azerbaijan to appease Turkey) or are just anti-Armenian.

Crimea is a similar situation, kinda. The land been historically Tatar, but Russia invaded and took it in 1700something, it since then been a major Russian military area, when URSS had a Ukranian president, he gave Crimea to Uktraine, again thinking it wouldn't make a difference, not thinking URSS wouldn't last forever.
On the other hand, sometimes a customer could not care less about CPU usage, memory, and in some cases paying twice as much for cloud services can still be a negligible amount for the business, yet the software developers obsess over efficient code wasting weeks on improving a metric nobody cares about.

I don't want to disregard your complaints, they are all valid, but one has to weigh the pros and cons, and in some cases, efficient algorithms are not the most important thing for the business.

Thank you so much! I won't, if anything sometimes I go too far trying to make things even simpler. For instance I use a track for both building wagon paths and as a motor, I thought maybe that's confusing but the track value wasn't being used for anything why add yet another part when it isn't necessary? In fact, there are things I know I can simplify. The button part for instance is completely unnecessary, I have built one that looks and works identically using a wagon on a short path and a few chips hidden in another layer. One of the things I may do is to make it a library part that can be imported instead.
Europeans nowadays know a lot more about the ethnic cleansing tactics that were always well known to Turkey's neighbors. Every "peaceful intervention" by turkey resulted in massive ethnic cleansing, "without wars" and a simple count of any non-turkish population shows that.

It doesn't matter if one calls it "war" or not, ethnic cleansing is uncivil and barbaric, no matter where it takes place. It's true that Ethnically cleansed areas become much more peaceful, is the argument that we should have more of it?
I don't know you but my assumption is that this is but an assumption on your part.

Mental illness often results in irrational behaviour, which then often leads to wrong or inaccurate conclusions by the people around a patient, so professional help is very important.

That is exactly why this "hijack" is so bad, professional psychotherapists who have studied their field are rare but needed to properly diagnose patients like this. Hackers (and self-proclaimed diagnosers) only make their profession even harder.

Yep. I try to be respectful by not suggesting common stuff since they would have already looked into. Sometimes I'll suggest looking into some less common things. There are many things that modern doctors won't suggest or don't know about.

For example, I'm an amateur mycologist and I have heard about health benefits of different mushrooms. If they don't want hear about the health aspect, the way I bring it up usually opens the door to a topic change about foraging for mushrooms, eating them, and many related questions.

In this case, I don't know of anything that would help frozen shoulder. There is some stuff that I find interesting to talk about but don't think it is worth suggesting to him. Like some studies on pain management that I barely remember, but I don't know if it was on psilocybin or maybe LSD. The way my dumbed-down brain remembers it is that it basically causes a pain "reset" where in some cases the brain ignores the persistent pain signals, or lowers the perceived pain level. There is also grayanotoxin that comes from tincture of ghost pipes that alters how pain is perceived, but I think that is only temporary. Interesting thing is that ghost pipes are actually a plant that doesn't contain any chlorophyll, but feed off of the roots of other plants, somewhat similar to some mychorrizal fungi.

The Atlantic isn't "liberal media."

It isn't really a news magazine at all. It's an opinion rag with pundits who range across the ideological spectrum. You will no more find news there than reading the NY Times or Wall Street Journal's opinion sections.

Hey - this kind of reply isn’t welcome on HN. Can you try to engage productively next time?
Off-topic but maybe an interesting side comment: nature has also some very interesting structures that change with pressure. Pores in plants open and close by changing the turgor (pressure inside a cell) inside the cells lining the opening for example:

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoma#Opening_and_closing
> expeting the majority of people not to expect you to be productive at 8.00 AM is anti-social

> expecting the majority of people not to be insinctively disgusted by your sexual practices is anti-social

I strongly object to this characterization.

How is letting people live their life "tiranny (sic) of the minority"? You think instinctive disgust for other lifestyles is and should be the norm?

I realize that the term diversity has been poisoned in public discussion, but for lack of a better term: diverse cultures are stronger, both in biology and I would argue socially as well. On the other hand, the authoritarian monoculture you advocate is a joyless and brittle construct that has to be policed strongly and viciously all the time or it will fall apart immediately, and it also doesn't have any immune response to radicalizing forces.

In this specific case, a society with nightowls can do more than one without. There are plenty of jobs that have shifts where not being a nightowl destroys people. An ex girlfriend of mine had to do regular night shifts at the hospital. It became a real health issue for her, but me being a nightowl freelance programmer at the time voluntarily keeping the same schedule, I was doing just fine.

Being a nightowl is also a social equalizer to an extent, because it allows people who are not rich enough to live distraction-free lives to carve out a time of the day where interuptions are virtually non-existent.
That was unnecessarily combative and melodramatic. There are better ways of making point, may be the expectation of politeness is "abusive and disrespectful" to you as well. The comment reeks of persecution complex

> No! It's just the normality, from a statistical point of view.

No. Cultural normality may at times be very similar with, but is not the same dimension as statistical normality.

It's easy to see in soon-to-envelope-the-world trends.

A small sub-sect of people do something abnormal, the image generated is pushed throughout society and media as an actionable concept (sociocultural normal), and then the trend becomes achievable en masse. If the trend is a huge hit, everyone does it (statistically normal).

>People have the right to expect statistical normality in other people.

Let me play devils' advocate here for a moment.

Apply that argument to any sociocultural phenomenon or identity, and see if the argument seems humane and considerate.

That statement precludes a lot of people, and I don't think it's anywhere near a right.

Hinkley was and is an aberration.

Its a fucking stupid project that was signed to make a political point. Instead of thinking about the needs of the next 100 years, it was signed to fulfill a short term political goal.

I hear you. Our time is limited. But I would argue that most good occurs due to many small interventions. And seeing these interventions and the improvements can encourage others to intervene. Maybe reporting these kinds of issues is too hard and that's the problem? Maybe a blog post describing how you just wasted 25 minutes filling out a web form and how a safety issue like this does not look good for the local governance? (This is all really obvious, but I'm clearly just trying to reframe what "that guy" could mean to you and anyone scrolling by :-) )

Maybe those were family-friendly to join (Proud Boys' we're probably too) but they're anti-family and pro-State in effect.

The fact that you joined Antifa protests shows you know nothing about true liberalism. Perhaps the time would have been spent better teaching your kid about the U.S. Constitution.
Thanks! I just looked up "sandbox game" on Wikipedia to refresh my memory and it gave me the idea of maybe adding challenges to make it one of those "solve this problem anyway you can" deals. Maybe a puzzle mode? I'll add it to my idea file.

Someone else mentioned that it crashes on mac but didn't provide the output yet so thanks for that. I don't have a mac but I'll have a look to see if I can fix it.
Being against identity politics doesn’t make you socially right-wing.
This shifts the labour market, making a lot more jobs available and making it much easier to get a job for new people or the jobless. I don't think it would work well though. Ideas such as job guarantees for everyone often come up in UBI conversation so this is a related concept.

I think UBI is a much better idea.

Looks like it's a big no, same for VR features as well as far as I can see. That takes AMD out of contention for me (iRacing is the only thing I play, just about), but thankfully it is applying significant price and feature pressures to the market.

I think there’s a difference between “stable” and “evolving”. Software with a much lower release cadence than k8s works well with Debian’s distribution model, but it falls down with frequent releases and a large dependency tree.
I guess you’d see that with NodeJS applications as well - I don’t think it’s practical for Debian to re-invent NPM and try to distribute and ship the large and changing dependency trees you find in those projects. However that doesn’t mean the software is not _stable_, for the typical definition of stable.
Sounds to me like there were two issues:

1) Hardware problem with the light sensor that was fixed when they swapped the display (might be built in and therefore replaced too, or maybe the crack was obscuring it?)

2) After the hardware problem was fixed, they didn’t think to check the brightness, or forgot to do part of the procedure.

My guess is that the boot process ignores the light sensor and just sets full brightness, much like your fans going to full tilt (or at least a safe default) on your PC when you first boot.

Not defending apple here btw - but I don’t think it was purely a software issue at the beginning.
In my experience (B2B) nearly 50% claim API access as critical during the sales cycle, which poses huge obstacles to sales. Then of course, only 5% implement and it'll turn out their unspoken use case isn't supported. This hits home for me.
I don't think it really matters: the piano or violin just offer a reference notes the vocalist needs to be able to match. For example, even though the piano is a limited instrument (frequency wise) it's perfectly possible for a violin player to practice "against" a piano. In the end, whatever the violinist plays is never going to be perfect.
There are basically 3strategies to cope with that: micro-adjustments (correcting), add vibrato (masking) and stop playing that note and move to another note.
Three is Company:

"Is it indeed?" laughed Gildor. "Elves seldom give unguarded advice, for advice is a dangerous gift, even from the wise to the wise, and all counsels may run ill."

Not speaking in support of Apple here, but just like any other manufacturer, their support quality varies with location. I was in Singapore, took my broken screen Macbook Pro for repair and I was quoted something that costed half the price of the machine for the replacement as they mentioned the motherboard also had to be replaced for some reason.

That very month, I had to fly to India for some work and I decided to ask a local authorized Apple service outlet. The guy changed the display for me at no charge. The machine was out of warranty by atleast a year at that point. But still, Apple honored that warranty.

Six months later, I got a blue tint on my display and the guy did another replacement free of cost because the replacement display he gave me was faulty.

I spent $0.

Many Apple service outlets are pretty good, especially in Asia - Singapore has some good outlets too apart from the one I went to, HK, China all have very knowledgeable people running these outlets too.

Here's another one - I currently own a Samsung S10 phone. One of the speakers became bleak and service center A refused to honor the warranty because the phone had "water damage". It is an IP68 water proof rated phone. How the fuck can it have water damage? Especially when the phone is working just fine, except for the top speaker being bleak.

Service center B did the job of speaker replacement in under 2 hours.

This is the reality. My point is, service centers are like any other business, some people are knowledgeable, some people are spiteful, some people are stupid.

So how do you figure out which ones are good and bad? My simple rule of thumb is ask around your extended family, usually they will know someone who they can refer you to. Referral based jobs are the best, since there is an element of personal touch involved.
If not, scan for google reviews of the place to find the ratio of positive and negative reviews. Read the negative reviews especially as its a good indicator of the center's competence.
Exactly, and that's why those examples aren't really illustrative of the point you're making. That's all I was trying to say.
I know this is in jest, but honestly there are two kinds of wheels: round things that everyone uses to roll around with in common/universal ways, and specific configurations of wheels like this person mentioned for microwave routing.

You probably don't want to reinvent the wheel that is SSL or UTF-8 or something ubiquitous like that, but there's actually not that much wrong with reinventing the way specific wheels are arranged and designed to work together in a domain-specific context like microwave routing (which I know nothing about). The act of reinventing it will probably teach you a lot about the domain itself, and depending on where you started in your journey, it can be quite fruitful (i.e. if you are a true beginner, then many of the lessons you learn will be things that are already common knowledge; if you are already a journeyman or expert, it's quite likely you might pick up some novel insights in the course of disassembling and reassembling the thing).
To be honest I don't really know in detail. There is an interesting paper about "Computational Law": http://logic.stanford.edu/publications/genesereth/complaw.pd... which says (§3):

Computational Law derives its power from its emphasis on deductive reasoning. As such, it simply cannot be applied in cases requiring analogical or inductive reasoning. Fortunately, it is sometimes the case that there are enough judicial rulings that the net result is, in effect, a set of categorical constraints even where the original wording of the regulations is not definitive. And, in such cases, Computational Law can be applied to the combination of regulatory and judicial law.

I guess this is why the French programmers are concentrating on the tax code which might be more precisely written!
It's not about software, it's about business understanding.
So i prefer a business-to-software course rather than foundation/principles of building things.

To me, software is a tool to actually understand the world.
I guess there are tabs that are open through clicking a link so they'd be connected directly as a directed graph. New tabs not opened by clicking a link would appear near the others as they were opened during the same time period. I am not sure if anything of that would help but I am curious to know if anyone had explored this already.

Other stuff that comes to mind:
- easy deletion of irrelevant nodes (opening a news site during a pause)
- visualizing time spent on a website by node size
- search (it'd be cool if the whole thing also archived or made snapshots of the visited sites, maybe just using the internet archive)
- eventually tags or colors for further classification
> If you can build renewable power at a fraction of the price

We keep thinking of "building renewable power" as "we can produce this amount of watts at peak". What we should demand of these projects instead is "we can provide this amount of renewable power 24/7". There is a big difference. We're ending up in a situation where we can "build renewable power at a fraction of the price" for half of the time. For the other half we rely on fossil fuels but we don't see the issue because we're focused on the amount of clean watts we get at peak.
This is truly a blessing. On my last job with normal working hours, I would be sleep deprived for weeks on end. I would literally sleep all day on the weekends. It was the worst, and I could only do it for 4 months.
