Thanks. I was reading this thread thinking that sitting alone with your thoughts does not necessarily bring you peace. It can often do the opposite.

I take time and pray to God each morning. I find that this gives me peace. I feel better prepared to deal with the day when I pray.

My routine is focused around praying the Lord's Prayer, as in the prayer Jesus taught. Praying this prayer over years has enabled some truths to sink in. For example, the first part of the prayer is not about us, it is about God. I think it is good to start the day with the understanding we are not the centre of the universe. Secondly, I have been struck by how the Lord's prayer does not start at the place of forgiveness. Whether that be seeking forgiveness or asking for forgiveness. This gives me peace in the knowledge I don't need to have it all together before I engage with God in prayer.

You can sell futures before having them (you will need to post some margin to cover a fraction of their worth). This will just create a negative position that must be made zero or positive before the contract expires.

I have the exact opposite experience. We're running an older version of Office (2016?) at work with Windows 7. Thse are supported by MS via the extended support contracts. It will be upgraded shortly.
Basically I get blue screens, rendering issues, slowness, freezing, crashing, random glitches. I regularly lose emails. The changes to Outlook are abysmal too. When a meeting invite I've accepted is amended (e.g. a 'Starting in 5 minutes email or update'), the calendar invite is no longer accepted so the reminder doesn't pop up. Whomever decided that un-accepted invites shouldn't pop up, has caused so much upset, tears and hate.
I would describe my windows machine as entirely useless. It has got so bad that I use my iPhone to respond to emails and to use the calendar features.
I've been considering learning some .NET to write a pop up app that is always on top so that when there's a meeting it shows up. Has anyone done that? It seems pretty basic.
I'm really happy with IRC. I frequent various freenode channels (#elixir-lang, #python, #django, #postgres, #kotlin, #centos and various others) and the people there are really helpful and friendly, asking all kind of noob questions even if they have been asked many times. I also try to be helpful on topics I'm familiar with (f e Django).

Being able to ask or answer more or less anonymously without the points/gamification thing is liberating for me! And of course I feel better that I have stopped feeding the walled gardens line slack and friends.

Now with the help of services like irccloud or even just by using a web client you don't have any excuses to not use IRC. Just try it and thank me later; I'm serafeim on freenode :)
By primitive, I mostly meant the primitive brain and responses.

Emotions are a drawback imo, the fact that they're so deeply intertwined with the logical parts is a drawback.

We often act against our own best interests and health purely because we're afraid, for example.

Biological bodies are indeed, very sophisticated and versatile, too bad we can't control any of the features.
> Only concertos sometimes occupy a whole book. Even then, they also contain the piano accompaniment scores.

Aren't the piano score separate, so you can give them to the pianist? All concerto scores I have a separate, thin, staple bound score for me, and a thicker one for the pianist. (I don't know how they manage to turn their page with the audience hardly noticing.)
You can lookup what processes on windows do as well. You won't get the sources for them usually, but that's what you get for choosing a closed source OS. Similar for disabling them. Since you mention AnyDesk: at least on Windows it also comes as a single portable executable which needs no installation nor extra services i.e. only runs when started manually.
How does Gumroad do it?
A week!?!

What planet are you from that it takes a server nearly 170 hours of processing time to index... what... a few dozen kilobytes?

And why, for the love of god why, does it have to index the Start Menu!? Why isn't it indexed synchronously on install!?

Why does it even need indexing in the first place!? Do you have any idea how few milliseconds it takes to just brute-force search through a few dozen KB of text?

I implemented real-time character-by-character completion and search for an index over a 100M records in a web application in 2007. Are you telling me that Microsoft, one of the world's biggest corporations struggles to solve the same problem in a week for an amount of text that a child could index using play cards in a matter of minutes?
It doesn't bode well for people who have lung scarring and neurological damage.
Futures are created by trades so they don’t need to exist before they are sold.

If you buy one of these oil futures then you are required to receive a certain amount of a certain kind of crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma on a certain date after expiration. You don’t pay anything at that time as you already paid for the oil by buying the future. Likewise if you sell a future then you are required to deliver a certain amount of oil to Cushing, Oklahoma, and you were already paid when you sold the future. In this sense it is quite reasonable to hold a negative position in a future (you can have a negative position in a stock too but this requires selling short—you need to first borrow the stock from someone else).

One thing to note is that futures are fungible: because the contract doesn’t say who you have to give oil to, you can sell a future at one price and buy it at another price and the two sides of the contract cancel out and you have no obligation to move any physical oil around. Most market participants cannot take or deliver physical oil and so they will make sure they get their position to 0 before the futures expire.

It’s a weird question as to when futures are created. The invariant is that the total of everyone’s position is 0, so every obligation to deliver oil is matched by an obligation to take delivery, and you can then say that the number of created contracts is equal to the sum of all the positive balances, and each trade either creates or destroys futures depending on how the balances change.
This feels like a Reverse Streisand Effect. I've heard more about this game than any other game launch because of the bugs + people on HN and Twitter saying it's cool, and now I want to play it.
I know there is an activity center in the center of the brain, which randomly fires impulses in all different directions of the brain.

It is keeping the brain from shutting down itself.

Brain neurons are connected the way that a thought needs to start from somewhere.
No induction/initiation - no involuntary thought.

The associative thinking seem also to start as a cause of that activity center, when two or more random independent thought chains are being randomly initiated and come together eventually, at the bottom of the chains, causing cross-thinking.

This gives me a nice excuse why I'm restless and need to think all the time.
I cannot close eyes in a dark room and have no thought.
My brain is just working as usual -- I like it so.
same here.

It is a shame that we, the information architects, have not found good solution on this that we dogfood to ourselves.
I kind of like how the writing is small so it makes you come closer to read it, but besides that, yeah I agree.

I’m sure plenty of thought went into it, but I don’t find it pleasant to look at
Impressive sleuthing.
The court case is about PBs. PBs do not cause sterility.

Either you know that and don't care, or you don't know that, but either way it means you're not discussing in good faith.

> Parents have a right to force their beliefs onto their children if their beliefs are reasonable.

This court case said that combined parental consent and child consent was not enough, and that the court could ignore the wishes of the parent.

> and the potential to undergo life-altering treatment with no psychiatric evaluation and little-to-no consultation.

Simply untrue.
It really doesn't matter what kind of stat you bring out against the M1. People have made up their mind and either the marketing worked or it didn't. The minority will be swayed by facts and will cling to whatever preconception they have or been told to have. That's just how the world is (now?).

Nice benchmarks though.
I've had almost all my questions on Stack Overflow answered, usually very quickly.

May I ask what your opinion is on the NVidia ARM purchase?
If I had an application that required ARM, else no.

Even then it's extremely unlikely I don't consider the Pi 4 reliable enough to justify paying to have one professionally hosted.
It is useful to add that even distraction and entertainment are suffering and unfulfilling in that they are impermanent, illusory and essentially devoid of meaning. All things have "equal taste", good or bad all comes to us through the senses which only produce a reflection of the world in our mind. Even our perception of our own inner world is an appearance of the same sort in consciousness. This shouldn't excuse inaction or wrongdoing or lead one to apathy, however, our actions in the world are still important and have consequences but we should be mindful that this is a condition we are all subject to, a reason for greater empathy and care and a motivation to improve the lives of others as much as we seek to improve our own.
I see the same pattern. It's so sad.

IRC used to be amazing, but nobody uses it anymore.

It's attrition.

People got older, had kids, or tech to them simply became a dispassionate job. They didn't have time for the community.

Facebook brought lots of new people to the internet. The sorts of people we connected to online became less technical in aggregate, and we started spending more time on our computers talking to those folks and proportionally less time talking to domain expert nerds. It's zero sum.

Everything became hyper commercial. If you're not making money, why do it? Why spend your time helping people build some other person's commercial product?

The web turned into a proprietary monolith and stopped being cool. It turned into a job. Work at mature tech companies involve so much optimization of small product details that we grow tired of programming as a hobby and don't want to sit through more of it at home. Your coworker is just there for the same paycheck that you get and they're spending the evening zoning out and having fun. Why log onto IRC and chat about technical things when you have to come back and hear your coworkers talk about the great time they're having?

The technical configurability of the past got glossed over with big shiny buttons and flat smartphone UI. It made configuring IRC clients lose its luster. We spend more time on our phones than our desktops or laptops now, anyway.

The proprietary platforms have orders of magnitude more money to make chat look and feel polished.

The new kids aren't learning it. It doesn't look like anything they're familiar with. It looks old and feels crude. There's nobody to carry the torch.

As more people leave, there's less reason to stay.

RIP, IRC.
> Why bother answering? StackOverflow needs overhaul

Yet it's hard for me to find a single decent question that hasn't been answered any time I'm on StackOverflow looking to procrastinate by something work-adjacent.

It's clearly working and it's been working for years. In fact, it's even harder to get karma now. I don't know how I got to answer so many questions back when I used it 6 or so years ago because now any of those questions I answered would've been answered in minutes like they are now.
Rate of change may matter when your monolith application takes too long to deploy (i.e a big war application with lots of initializations at start), although rolling updates may help here. It will also be easier to rollback if things go wrong.

On the other hand, I agree with your point of multiple teams. I tried to mean same thing with "used by other applications"
The vision is correct; I disagree with the phrasing and tactic.

Instead of focusing in a negative "Abolish work"; lets do it from a positive standpoint: Shelter for everyone, Healthy eating made free, Education accessible to all... If we take away the main reasons the average person has to work for as an obligation, we can leverage a society detached from obligatory labor.

I've always thought about it from the workplace analogy. When we hire people, we make sure they are better prepared than our market competition. We provide them with a desk, computers, printers, access to food and beverage, access to tuition related to the job they will be making, and many stuff the employee doesn't have to pay for. How and why could we think society-wide should be different? Governments should start thinking of their citizens as employees.
This is only an alliteration, but I think it's like watching the debugger window attached to yourself. All the things you were previously unaware of (but still, happening inside your own system) become accessible and visible.

This suggests connecting neural network inputs to the middle of another (or the same) network - essentially exploring own architecture
You just said that "hand over your watch or get shot" is choice. So then is "hand over your tax or go to prison", yes?
That’s not slow. That’s just not the fastest. They are solidly leading the mid field.

Also, given current high incidences I suspect phase 3 might be quite quick, which means Q3 or Q2 approval.
It's not generating anything just parsing 404 pages from some random web sites.
I don't have an m1 yet but have a similar experience with laptops performing extremely poorly compared to desktops (to be expected) but also poorly compared to my older Apple MacBooks. I have a 2015 13" MBP that will perform a compilation task quicker than my 2019 XPS.

The much older CPU in the MBP has a much faster base clock of 2.4GHz vs 1.3GHz in the XPS. What I find frustrating is that the XPS will throttle down to base clocks for any workload sustaining about 10 seconds, even if the temperature is reasonable, e.g. 50C.

In Windows I can work around this a little using ThrottleStop but I'm primarily a Linux user and haven't found a reliable way to bypass Intel's turbo limits with my Ice Lake CPU. Linux also has annoying bugs where the CPU will limit itself to base clock when connected to AC but then turbo up to 4.1GHz when the AC is unplugged, baffling.

Glad to hear about your positive results with m1, it's for sure a purchase I'll be making in 2021.
I'm curious about this.

I used Nextcloud for a few years already and never, ever I had a corrupted DB in any of the upgrades.
I hope so, I'd love to see a more heterogeneous chip market, with x64, ARM, M1+, RISC-V all competing with each other.

Maybe compilers would be default spit out binaries that run on all of them, like Apple's Rosetta or whatever it's called.
Does the displays on Windows look as crispy as on MacOS? That's the fear I have of switching away. I love how crisp to the eye everything is.
Do not engage with people with near-zero reputation perhaps?

I known this sounds badly and I'm not for gatekeeping, but this based on real life. If someone does some effort to answer a few questions first before asking themselves, they're more likely to be serious. Otherwise it's like those people on GitHub who open a ticket in your free repo and harrass you to fix it because they have a demo tomorrow!

BTW: writing detailed response from scratch should be an exception. In most cases the answer is already there in some existing question, but the person asking doesn't know some keywords to find it. So you can use your knowledge of the subject and point them to existing answer. It's faster this way and avoids duplicated content.
That can be said, but for as long as I know Mac, it has had these lock up problems.

Last year I worked at a location with a Mac on my left, Win10 on my right. Same software / jobs. Mac hangs 3 times a day. Both machines were very well tended to.

Linux, the source code (unofficial iirc) and an editor. XDA-Developers is a great resource. GitHub is a godsend, of course. At the time, no one was interested in the P6, or Huawei in general.

Sadly, nowadays, interest in overclocking/undervolting/modding seems to have waned (I guess smartphones are powerful enough).

But there's still people doing this, if you can't find info/work on your own device, you can find another one with the same or similar hardware. That's how I do it; got a lot of extra life out of older tablets and phones.

And Sony is now embracing open devices? Wow, how the turntables :D, they used to be one of the biggest offenders. Even Huawei is locking down theirs nowadays.
> a technology for which you can get people that are proficient and comfortable is better than one you can't,

Hence why PHP is still the leading language for eCommerce, where fashion gives way to tight margins and hiring talent for a decade long lived piece of software is a major concern.

When cost is the driving factor for most decisions, and ROI is a very real and measured metric, convincing someome to rewrite their money making machine to keep up with the latest in tech is a hard sell.
I don't think I've ever seen a 0-answer question where the question was worthy of an answer unless it was incredibly niche and hard.

99% of the time, the person asking the question didn't even care to help anyone help themselves and, to answer their question, you'd have to play a game of 20 questions with them.
I said that libertarians use "voluntary" to refer to a situation that doesn't involve coercion. I did not say that a coerced individual had no choice in the matter. Why would anyone bother to coerce someone who had no choices?

I see two problems with your argument.

One is that I don't think it's anywhere close to true that Bezos is completely irreplaceable while all of his workers are not. I have little experience on the differences between a good warehouse worker or manager and a bad one, but I know that at least for software, the difference between a good software engineer and a bad one; or between a good software manager and a bad one; can make or break a business. I'm sure the same is true in many others domains of Amazon's activity (B2B sales is another obvious ones, as are marketing and market research; but I'm sure there are many less obvious ones).

The other point where I think your analysis is flawed is basing the "fair" compensation only on replace-ability. Even if 2 warehouse workers are perfectly replaceable, as long as they are doing the job and their work is absolutely required for the business to function, they should also be getting a large proportion of that business's success. This is where Unions can really improve things - by allowing collective bargaining, they help people who are interchangeable but whose jobs are crucial to get their fair share of the pie they are contributing massively to.
The blow-up picture doesn’t make sense either - hardly any difference in zoom and the little circle contains only a small part of the image in the big circle.

Usually because at that time I have nothing better to do and get
the enjoyment that I could spare someone else the frustration of
figuring out something obscure by themselves, just like a random
blog post or SO answer helped me with a problem.

So I suggest to always respond with at least a little "Thanks!"

other person that their contribution wasn't a waste of time and
was kind of meaningful for at least one other user. Helps
greatly with motivation.
I think we agree with that statement of fact that it's zero sum in dollar terms. I would only object if we were to take that further as a commentary on the goodness or badness of such an occurrence, since the nature of every transaction is that it's zero sum in dollars.
Nice docs. I had no idea you could do this locally. Out of the loop on video streaming, but looks like a webserver serving files(video segments - chopped up based on needs). Just curious roughly how many simultaneous clients can a generic desktop serving lets say one low quality stream (360p?) handle?
40-70% is a wide range. How did you get that number?
I noticed the site was taking a while to load.. I wonder if we're all generating more traffic than the museum is used to receiving :-) The pickle recipe looks good.
That's a rosy view of IRC but not a very accurate description of why people don't use it.

In reality, people's UX standards improved and they weren't going to stick around with a crappy solution like IRC once chat rooms of the late 90s could even figure out how to show you old messages when you logged in.

Something as simple as getting a notification while offline or reading what was said while you had your laptop lid closed are now things expected since over two decades ago. And they're things IRC is still missing unless you're a power user who gets to fix it only for yourself.

IRC never evolved and never cared about UX. And it lost to efforts that did.

That people on HN including you will use phrases like "shiny" and "bells and whistles" to refer to features like a chat that can show you messages you missed while the tram went through a tunnel for 30 seconds is sanctimony that killed IRC.

It's like listening to an engineer struggle to come up with a single non-cynical reason why someone might like a GUI over a CLI. And then when GUIs take off and users finally get more options and stop using the engineer's CLI app, the engineer curses and shakes his fist at VC funding and proprietary tech and blames the users for falling for bells and whistles and being out of touch with the ideal form of software.

(That's actually a far more accurate representation of IRC worship than I intended.)
What if I want to use the same machine both at my desk and at work? The ability to use the machine on-the-go is one thing, but the actual portability is second.
But you already knew that, didn't you.

Not saying I agree with the "One must be living under a rock to buy anything but Apple" part, that's nonsense.

The fact that this particular site (hackernews) is so popular amongst tech people, without any advertising and with a really basic interface (that people love) is proof that IRC will be very much alive for a lot of years! And that definitely is in line with my experience; for every rather large community there's an IRC channel with great people ready to help.

The technical problems you mention are really non existent with a web client. So it's up to us, the people to say no to proprietary platforms and use it.
