I think we are at an inflection point. We are about to see an increase in productivity and innovation due to the technologies (AKA tools) that have been created in the last few decades. That has sparked the buying euphoria that has driven many stocks to extra ordinary levels. Is it a bubble? Maybe, we really won't know until after the fact.

I believe that if it is, it's only the start. We will be seeing higher highs for at least a few more years. The euphoria has just started. I believe it so much that I think we will see the 1st Trillionaire with in the next 15 years.

These innovations plus our positive progressive social views will improve the standard of living for many and that in effect will help many others.

Good days are in our future.
Not a book but there's a movie called "9 to 5" with Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton that touches on the subject.

Is this the same idea as Inkscape's smooth points? ("make selected nodes auto-smooth") Or is it a different method?

EDIT: hmm, the behaviour is not quite the same - inkscape seems to move the handles of its auto-smooth nodes only in response to the positions of neighbouring nodes. This "hyperbezier" demo moves its handles in response to positions of both neighbouring nodes and their handles.
I wonder whether they came to London from The Netherlands as well. The Wikipedia page for stoop only mentions North America. Is there a different name used in England?
SSRIs and the like brute force changes: suicide is a form of violence on self, which even the clinical trials showed an increase in; you're more likely to kill yourself taking an SSRI than if you don't; likewise, violence against others - like mass school shootings - will also increase because the medications are bypassing the same mechanisms but instead of the violence being internalized, it becomes externalized.
This is mostly circumstance; the prototype is a compilation to wasm of a bunch of code that was originally written for runebender, a desktop font editor. The framework that project is written in uses canvas when targeting the web.
Stoops can have a dramatic impact on the culture of a given block.

When you have stoops, people sit on them.

This means more conversation outside in public, creating community.

When I was young, it was normal for a group of kids to sit on any stoop if the front gate was open. (This has mostly gone away)

Older people might spend hours sitting on their stoop, and basically end up being a neighborhood watch.

Neighbors get to know each other, and are more likely to quickly identify someone being violent and call the police.

Overall, I would always choose a block with stoops over one without, everything else being more or less equal.

Maybe this advice can apply to your situation —

I’ve found what works for me is being honest while keeping perspective of what I can and cannot control.

In a recent situation, I was set up in an uncomfortable position, having to work around my manager to get the right outcome for our clients or just agreeing with my manager and watching things slowly, painfully fail.

I wrote a document explaining the situation, the key decisions that need to be made, and their trade offs. I asked my manager if he had concerns if we reviewed this document together with other stakeholders.

Generally, people may be doing the wrong thing because they lack the right information or because they’re afraid something might put them in a bad light, and that defensiveness leads to undesirable behaviors and outcomes.

We all reviewed the document together in a meeting. 20 minutes of reading time followed by another 15 minutes of discussion and another 15 minutes to agree on next steps.

Next steps can be - here’s a rough plan of action, tracer4201 you go work out the details. Or it can be, we don’t have enough information, let’s get the data and meet again. Or it can be — we are not able to agree, let’s escalate.
No idea, but the Audible app is bad in ways I can’t understand.

Common rail diesels are very quiet compared to older style diesel engines. Some are so quiet you wouldn't even know it was a diesel. And with DEF you won't even smell the classic diesel exhaust smell. The loud smelling ones are due to modifications and probably also from "deleting" the DEF (which is illegal).
These rules create visually pleasing curves that are easy to manipulate. You can break these rules and get curves that have fewer points, but they will be very tough to tweak.

Break these rules and you will pay for it in more time spent when you need to change things.

You can make an analogy to programming rules that tell you to eschew excessive cleverness - sure, it may be more succinct, but are you gonna be able to edit it later? What about the person who comes in once you've left and has to deal with it?

(These are also guidelines, I do not obsessively follow these precisely; to be quite honest I mostly avoid using Illustrator's Pen tool for the organic shapes I mostly draw - but if I need to tweak a path, I'll use these rules and a couple other tools to quickly modify where the points are along a path, and do it easily.)

Your assertion that the only output of this could be "to send a message" is exactly the kind of thinking at a place with cultural issues relating to security policy. See my child comment on how something like this is supposed to be used in a way that focuses on risk-reduction and active feedback instead of group politics and message marketing.

At the end of the day if you've got a threat vector you're too afraid to actively measure it doesn't matter how much you message other departments about it you'll never know how big of a risk it is or if appropriate action was taken unless you are compromised by it a later date. This is true of human risk monitoring as much as it is of technological risk monitoring.
It may not necessarily be a bad thing, small firms can be very exploitative of employees and fail to provide many of the safeguards and systems that large employers provide. More large employers are subject to more intense regulatory scrutiny, so, I don't really think that small businesses will be some kind of utopia for workers.
I applied for a job at a small company. On of the "perks" is there was no strong hierarchy- you got to give yourself a title.

I love and would recommend updown.io. I use it for both personal and work. Recently, my personal version expired its free tier and I was in no hurry to upgrade. Nothing was mission critical, and I wanted to wait for the year to get over.

They drop me a good amount of credit to get my account running while I wait to upgrade.
Hm. Not sure, that’s an excellent point. It may not be a constraint, but I think it is a massive incentive.
I think that about sums up my experience with boost. I've found boost to be hit and miss in terms of elegance. One of the things I've liked about the standards track is how they've cleaned up many of the same boost concepts that ultimately ended up in std.

Arguably blindly following/trusting advice from a someone indoctrinated into a field highly influenced by regulatory capture, for profit pharmaceutical companies (who influenced and directed today's current medications) is less wise; who are also responsible for chemicals/medicines like MDMA and psychedelics to be illegal for many decades, likely primarily because they can't be patented - and therefore these companies can't compete with them - and would rather create a patented chemical that requires daily consumption, and post their clinical trials, they promote chemicals that have major withdrawal symptoms for "compliance" purposes.
ANC headphones are great for low-frequency (bass) sounds. But with cheap headphones I find I can still hear speech. I think new housing uses mass loaded vinyl to prevent high frequency sounds from passing through walls - perhaps heavy, 1lb or 1kg headphones with ANC are the solution for experiencing real silence in e.g. a busy workspace? Does anyone have an idea if material weight or density is a big factor in sound insulation? Along with air-tight sealing.
This is exactly how are why statistical estimation is bullshit.

Correlation, if any, does not imply causation, and the causality principle has nothing to do with statistics.

Observations (counting), however many, will never reveal causality, because they are orthogonal.
Some people like to read the brief, you insufferable oaf.
"Complex systems run in degraded mode."

This is the point that struck me the most. "Good enough" is good enough when there are so many other more urgent needs to address and you've been able to keep a system functioning despite extensive deferred maintenance. It is difficult to get allocation of resources to a system that's still working because it's robust when there are less robust (and probably less critical) systems that won't work without more resources being thrown at it.

My main gripe about the wargame AI is that there needs to be some sort of fire control for ATGMs. Too many times have I seen a jeep roasted by 4 hellfire missiles because all the apache helicopters in a squad engaged the same target.
Agreed: I am ready for a Risc6 fork. Keep it close enough to RISC-V that work proving out designs can be ported more or less mechanically, but take advantage of binary incompatibility to fix the worst design choices.

Status bits have turned out not to be such a problem as was once thought. Nowadays they just rename status registers along with the others.

Perhaps RISC-V's worst choice was the coarse-grained extensions architecture that locks up the most useful instructions with dozens of marginal ones, making them unusable in portable compiled code.

As a result, no RISC-V program can assume POPCOUNT is available, because it is locked away in the huge (still-unratified) "B" extension.

The most difficult problem modern CPU designers face is coming up with a way to put another hundred-million transistors to productive use -- i.e., that will make programs actually run faster, but without running too hot. Modern chips are crammed with dodgy, poorly documented gimcracks that make programs run absurdly fast much of the time, but not always.

Programmers now have two problems: discovering whether their programs actually are running fast, and discovering why the ones that aren't don't. Usually the only way to know our program is slow is when we see a faster one. It was fast until exactly that moment, then became instantly slow.
Here are my favourites: (with my own comments)

Lex Fridman Podcast: He has interesting guests and a good vibe. Some don't like his monotone voice, I love it, each to their own.

Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (with David Puder) : He's a fantastically empathetic and inquisitive Pyschiatrist who provides a fascinating window into his field. I think there is a lot the layperson can learn about empathy, communication and insight from listening to the experiences of the pros. However as a layperson you may want to skip the ones that go into different pharmaceuticals. I would say his podcast is intended for the medical community but they are very accessible to you and me as well.

Sinica : If you are interested in China from the perspective of people who are intimate with the actual perspectives of the Chinese (and not those of the western idea of what China is) then this is the podcast for you. After spending a little time in China, I found the mainstream western media portrayal did not match up with the reality on the ground.

Love and Radio (With Nick Van Der Kolk): If you love exploring the fringe, the weird and the exceptional then this one is for you.

The Hamish and Andy Podcast: Australian mainstream, but amazing all the same. I hope it exports to you well.
This is a topic that I've been thinking about strongly this year and I strongly relate to what you're feeling as well. As for books on this, apart from the more mainstream ones, an example would be "Business without the Bullsh*t: 49 Secrets and Shortcuts You Need to Know", which has some interesting ideas.

But the general gist of all this is essentially to "fight fire with fire", as awful it may sound. But do note that there are some cultural aspects to this as well, companies with a strongly American culture are way more subject to that "dishonest harmony" phenomena compared to companies with a German or Dutch culture for example (other countries with a more honest and direct culture apply as well).
There are a variety of comments saying that discount rates are going to 0 because of fed actions which therefore justifies high asset prices. Another version of this story is “the fed printed cash and it has to go somewhere”. While it is true that discount rates are being suppressed by fed action, risk free rates are only one portion of what flows into the discount rate of a DCF. Market risk premium is another component that seems to be completely ignored this HN thread.

The google search term to get your feet wet is “CAPM”. I personally think that risk free rates being 0 is not sufficient to justify some of the valuations we’re seeing in the technology sector.

> most [specialists] will refuse you on account of them being "fully booked"

I don't deny that this does happen, but it's not as inevitable as you make it sound. I've seen about a dozen separate specialists over the years for various reasons, and have never had such problems. There were a few outliers where I had to wait several weeks for an appointment, but that was only for non-urgent matters and I was never refused service. In most cases, I can get an appointment within 1-5 days of calling the doctor's office.

My suspicion is that such overload as you describe is a regional issue, so if, as an immigrant, you need to rely on certain specialists because of chronic ailments, it may be worth to investigate the availability of the relevant specialist doctor beforehand.
For every paper with an affiliation and a positive result create 4 copies, in the results put harmful or neutral instead of helpful. These are the missing papers according to the deviation between affiliated and unaffiliated.

Now pick randomly from the papers you have.

You are not the target market. Maybe someday RISC-V will compete with desktop processors, but at the moment it is most interesting for embeded systems and coprocessors.
I've had half a mind to start shutting off my water and draining my pipes before leaving on trips in the winter. We've had frozen pipes several times before, but thankfully PEX doesn't seem to burst. Have been working on fixing the insulation issues that lead to the frozen pipes, which I suppose is probably the better solution. But draining the pipes would be a pretty low effort way to get a bit of added insurance.
This is correct, the hyperbezier positions auto points to maintain curvature, so anything that impacts curvature of a segment can cause adjustment of the handles of neighbouring segments. In addition, auto points do not need to be smooth; you can have a corner with two auto points, which will be adjusted automatically in response to changes in segments to their 'side' of the corner (see the heart demo on the page for an example of this.)
> The staff (CBP Officers) at these foreign-based Pre-clearance facilities are U.S. citizens who earn a premium for being stationed overseas and they earn a pretty penny for their duties. Usually the host country and the respective airport pays for the operation of such a station.

I’d like to know a bit more about the cost involved and who will end up paying for all this. I can imagine this to be a financial and logistical challenge at Taoyuan International Airport where there are currently two very old Terminals, one from which China Airlines and their SkyTeam partners such as Delta operate. Then another one for EVA Air and Star Alliance.

Both terminals are definitely coming into their years but not only that, having a pre-clearance facility there means that all airlines should use it in order to make it worthwhile.

This means the airport needs to designate one part of the terminal (or build a new one) for U.S. departures which is sealed off past the U.S. Immigration checkpoint.
> It doesn't really need to get a lot cheaper. It's already cheaper than coal.

I’m tired of this claim.

It’s cheaper when you ignore the necessary backup power plants, yes.

That’s not a real-world system though and Germany’s electricity prices disagree with you.
Monit is also a great tool for this, it can do different response statuses, check cert expiry, allows for some logic like "failed for 3 cycles" where a cycle is typically 30 seconds, and lots of other options.

It's also very useful and powerful for any other monitoring. I even have it checking for ZFS problems, failed fans and high temperatures in my DAS shelves, and all the standard service monitoring.

i hear this argument constantly, but i've never been able to understand it. you say the universe is big and has existed for a long time, but compared to what? if i say the universe is small and new, how would you counter that? i don't mean to come across as aggressive, but if there's any arrogance on this issue, i'd suspect it lies in thinking we have enough information to come to any meaningful position on the issue.

the most convincing meta-analysis i've seen, which considers the probability distributions implied by the error bars in our current best estimates of the relevant parameters (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1806.02404.pdf), suggests a 39–85% chance we are alone in the observable universe. i'm less impressed by those particular numbers than by the attempt to rigorously quantify our ignorance on the issue, where some component values span fifty orders of magnitude. while the universe may indeed be big, i'm not sure it's broader than the sheer span of our ignorance.
> in that case, without adding impure statefulness, how does one differentiate between "a paused frame is being displayed" and "an intermediate frame of a playing video is being displayed"

A "paused" frame could be represented like Fi, Fi+1 ... Fi+N, etc; for every moment i..(i+N), F remains the same and is thus "paused." The thing that's tough to wrap your head around is our language is rooted in object-orientation however. "Pause" is less of a meaningful term when time is discretized.

Renewable advocates never account for the backup power plants.

If they did, they couldn’t make these bold statements anymore.
To me, this speaks to something entirely different: the idea that a complex system that works cannot be designed from the ground up, but must necessarily evolve from a simpler system that works.
The flip side of that is that large firms have no incentive to provide better pay or benefits since they are less connected to the community. This is especially true for lower income individuals since the supply of lower skill workers is not constrained.
That’s adorable and made me smile :)

I was going to say the exact same thing.
I may be reading too much into the author's question, but I have definitely worked with people who had a "but I'm right" attitude that have talked like this. What I mean is, they were very passionate about how something should be done, and didn't particularly appreciate hearing or incorporating other people's input. They didn't have high enough seniority, though, to force the outcome, so they were often stressed and judgemental of leadership and co-workers. In my opinion, they needed to take time to learn more about themselves, to understand why they were perceiving and reacting to their work interactions in the way they were.
I thought this was funny, but the serious point behind it is that we're only beginning to understand the negative effects that screen time has on humans.

> then at the end, the example from elm looks great, but i see lots of impure state being generated (browser, model) or am i missing something?

All functional programs (even if written in Haskel) have side effects - the CPU only has a certain amount of registers that can be used, for example, so any nontrivial program will be constantly overwriting them. That elm program however only exposes pure functions in user land, just like with a Haskel program
If we could make a seal that blocks out all noise small (and confortable) enough to fit around a headset, we wouldn't need the whole NC setup.

Earplugs below my bose headset work wonder to block out anything short of cataclysmic, but it's hardly practical. And I can't exactly play music with those on...

I've noticed this as well. When I have ANC on in like a grocery store with music playing at a comfortable volume, then turn it off, I can barely hear the music.
My dad used to have the operation done in the winter at his house in Maine and it wasn't trivial.

Of course, he just turned off the heat entirely as opposed to protecting against temporary heating loss. That said, I never investigated how easily one could just do such protection on one's own. I have improved insulation over the years but you're presumably still in a bad situation if you have a multi-day power outage in freezing temperatures or your furnace quits.
As a heavily 'left-brained' person with an engineering background, I've recently (in my middle age) started to appreciate those who pursue social sciences more. They were a group I used to look down on because of the lack of rigor in their work, but recently I have come to realize that the problem is that the atomic unit of their domain (a human mind) is orders of magnitude more complex than that atomic units of all my favorite disciplines (physics: forces, chemistry: actual atoms, programming: instructions). While people like myself dismiss the problem (read: run away from it), they at least possess the fortitude to attempt it, even while stumbling.
While people in modern Turkey may not consider themselves or their state successors or the Roman Empire, the Ottoman authorities did to some extent. Notably, ‘Kayser-i Rum‘ was part of the Sultan’s title after the conquest of Constantinople.

Of course, the Ottomans weren’t the only ones playing this game; the Holy Roman Empire and to some extent Russia were also examples.
