I wish we had better metrics to measure stress. Is it okay to push harder?

From a physical exertion perspective, I think we have it. Recovery Time: https://support.garmin.com/en-US/?faq=8ImmxVkZMh4EYYq5Zp2bR8

From a stress level perspective, I think it exists. Body Battery: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/blog/fitness/5-reasons-your-bod...

It took me multiple visits with a therapist to find that I need to have more self-care, otherwise I fall off a cliff. I need to take care of myself to be able to help others. What that is to be able to recognize symptoms and have techniques for coping with the stressors that have become too much.

I still struggle these days. The metrics from the "Body Battery" and "Stress Levels" let me acknowledge that I've had a bad day and need to rest.
imo the strength of Magit (and its author has certainly said so) is that while the Git CLI provides a slightly different interface that you have to learn for each different operation, Magit provides a consistent UI for every single Git operation it supports (around 90% of Git features).

I think widespread EV ownership in urban areas would constitute "mass adoption," no?
You assume that this year's M1 MacBooks have a different camera package from the Intel MacBooks prior to them, and/or that the camera package used in Intel MacBooks could be improved by Apple Silicon.

I think that the iPhone/iPad camera package requires Apple Silicon, and that Apple simply hasn't installed it (or one like it) in their MacBook yet, so that it doesn't matter if it has Intel or Apple Silicon, it still looks terrible because it hasn't been upgrade to one that takes advantage of Apple Silicon yet.

I don't know who makes the sensor inside that package, but I have no assumptions that the sensor is the sum total of the package. Apple is all about bizarre integrations and coprocessors (such as the iOS/bridgeOS/whatever chip inside their Lightning-to-HDMI dongle) and I'm simply not willing to bet that the Apple Silicon package can operate on an Intel computer, or that it's just processing of the sensor, without a teardown showing us that they're the same in the face of a significant quality improvement.
>The ISS mostly happened because it was a way to keep ex-Soviet aerospace scientists and engineers doing aerospace things rather than, say, go build ICBMs for third world countries.

Nope. It's funny you seriously consider it being true. Building space stations and ICBMs are two VERY different fields for one thing. And number of launches to ISS is significantly smaller than number of satellite launches.

One of the main reasons for the US was a chance to buy space station building technology and transfer relevant expertise for a relatively cheap price tag. Russian/USSR scientists and engineers were far ahead in this field thanks to the Mir station. Creating a demand for the Space Shuttle was a good bonus as well.
Same. I often notice the precision with which he used language. Such a joy to listen to.

I especially like the chill-step YouTube videos some people assemble and publish. I download them with youtube-dl and listen to them on my phone at night while drifting off to sleep.

At 61 years of age, the philosophy he describes (Advaita Vedanta / Zen Buddhism / Taoism) brings me great comfort.

It's really not about boundaries. It's about efficiency. If I'm at home, there's always something I can be doing more "valuable" than podcasts. Working, playing with the kids, helping with chores, etc.

It is so incredibly varied as well. Some municipalities, like Burnaby, are leading the charge (pun intended) requiring all new buildings to have stalls wired for EVSEs.

But this is far from the norm, unfortunately.
I would hope if we started selling power from EVs back to the grid, that owners would be able to set a reserve amount of charge, and only sell excess above that level. And presumably it would only make sense for owners who could charge when demand is less, and opportunistically sell back a portion if demand is unusual high.
Oh! That's news. Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know that about Steam.
I disagree. It's a mental association trick. If you say you don't like it when people do something, you are calling out a behavior. If you say you don't like it when men do something, you are (intentionally or not) causing the listener to associate men with that action when they may not have otherwise. You are proposing a negative association for them. It makes no difference how big the group is or how many subgroups there are.

There are definitely worse things that people can say about men than "I hate that some men do x", such as "all men are trash." (I've actually heard someone acting men should not be offended by this). I'm more offended by that sort of talk, but I think when people stop being careful about the words they choose, it will easily devolve into the latter.

Heh - I used to use Fluxbox before I switched to FVWM. FVWM is at a whole other level when it comes to themability. I'm surprised to see its still kicking.

Look at the three highlighted configs on their main page:

https://www.fvwm.org/

They have an archive of screenshots of various people's configs at:

https://www.fvwm.org/Archive/Screenshots/

Just compare these two - would you think it's the same WM?

There is also Enlightenment. It was amazing back in 2002, and everyone was waiting for the next version (which finally came out in 2012!)

https://www.enlightenment.org/

While I really like customizability, I just don't have time to learn each WM's capabilities to customize my own. Once I figured out an FVWM config, I used it for 5-7 years. Then I tried AwesomeWM and although I didn't customize it, I can't go back to non-tiling WMs. I've been using it for almost a decade. EXWM will probably be my next attempt, as I do know some Emacs Lisp if I want to customize it.

At the gaming industry, noone i know of that plays chess has implemented this. At Lichess there millions and billions of games played each month and they don't pay with micropayments for each game. Other chess websites charge monthly fee.

Micropayments are a hassle for any system that has people, actual human organisms, being responsible for a gazillion of small transactions. The involvement of a human increases the cost of each money transaction. Only for detecting and resolving fraud a human needs to spend minutes and hours of his life, his boss has to pay him at the end of the day, and that cost bubbles up to the consumer. Minimum fees have be to many cents or dollars for each transaction, so the micropayment starts to not being a micropayment, it starts to seem very much like a payment.

The only solution to that, is a fully automated money transfer mechanism, an immutable public ledger with all the pseudonymous transactions, i.e. bitcoin. The miner network ensures the validity of the transactions, that no malicious actor in the whole network change one bit of a transaction to his benefit. Humans can do that, have done that for centuries in the banking system, by hiring trusted employees, and by following protocols to ensure the validity of each transaction, papers with stamps and all of that.

Micropayments can help for a person to change a light in the street, and charging all the residents around, a thousand of them, for 1 cent each. 10 dollars he will receive in total, 5 dollars for his work, 5 for the light bulb, and he will be paid the minute the work is done. No need to give a corrupt politician 10 million dollars, for all the work in his municipality, and the politician afterwards he will pay the technician for the fixing of the light. That creates a honey pot ready to be exploited. Micropayments can make that honeypot disappear.

> We're on the path to a 4C world by something like 2100. An increase by that much might possibly wipe out the species.

That is absolutely not what scientists and economists are predicting. An RCP 8.5 scenario (which is considered on the worse side of what's likely in a "do nothing" world) is expected to knock 6.7-14.3% of US GDP by 2100: https://www.brookings.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/2019102... (p. 7). That would be about half as bad as the COVID lockdowns (but permanent): https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/30/us-gdp-q2-2020-first-reading....

Note that's a 14.3% hit compared to what GDP would be in 2100. That's a big impact. It's equivalent to going from 3% annual GDP growth between then and now to 2.7% annual GDP growth.

Now, the numbers hide some really terrible costs. The Florida and Gulf coast will become uninhabitable, destroying half the economy in those areas. To put it into perspective the 2018 California wildfires cost 0.75% of GDP. So this is like 20 times worse. It's bad! But it's not an "untold cost." It's not an outcome worth spending any amount to avoid.

Scientists don't think mitigation will cost more than the damages from climate change, because scientists aren't proposing to mitigate climate change by shutting down the economy the way we did during the COIVD lockdown. That's an insanely inefficient way to achieve mitigation. I mentioned the economic loss from COVID lockdown not to suggest that is actually how we would reduce emissions, but to put into perspective what the expected costs of climate change are.

Saying that climate change will have "untold cost" is problematic because it makes you believe that mitigation strategies that will have massive costs will be justified to avoid climate change damages. It's worth the U.S. spending hundreds of billions of dollars a year on climate-change mitigation. The EU is planning on spending 260 billion euro annually by 2030. That's roughly the scale of Biden's plan.

But the "World War II-style" mobilization of the economy that Green New Deal advocates want will hurt economic growth by more than climate change will. If we go from 3% annual GDP growth to 2% annually we'll shoot ourselves in the foot.
Boot of Linux (Debian/10) is very quick (but not instant) on my Samsung NVMe [1], but I have yet to try it with winding through some multi-terabyte databases, but I expect good things.

My African American friends are always very excited when a black politician wins an election. I can't imagine they would accept having even fewer black voices than they do now just so that every district can have the same "local weather patterns". That's actually pretty insulting now that I think about it to suggest "proximity to major land features" is more important that having representation for every community.

I don't really follow your argument in the last paragraph. Could you simplify it a bit?

If you’re getting interviews but no offers try changing how you interview. Keep your answers short and always connect to business value. Say, “For example...” a lot. Also, if you think they are making biased decisions from the video, tell them you keep video off until after you can meet in person.
One of the problems with this is opening up to criticism, liability, and further argumentation.

If you say "We removed them because of their political views," then you get criticized for being openly partisan.

If you say "We removed them because their comments were inciting violence," you'll get arguments about how their comments didn't actually tell people to do violent things (for example, in the US I'm sure for the near future, a lot of people will be arguing very loudly whether the specific phrases "fight like hell" and "trial by combat" are metaphorical rhetorical devices or literal instructions to take violent actions.)

People will start finding and pointing out situations where you made different decisions in near-identical circumstances, and criticize you for that too.

It's better for users if the platform's transparent.

But the platform has no incentive to do so. Less than 1% of the time will users say "Okay you told us why this person was banned, we now see the ban's fair, and we'll shut up and go home." Instead, 99% of the time they'll turn your explanation into another reason to be enraged at you, or argue you need to reconsider, or even sue you because that line of reasoning makes you liable.

From the platform's point of view, it's usually better to let the reasoning behind a ban be a question mark.

> "a big neural network said so"

This is part of it too. With ML-driven bans or other actions, it's possible that nobody understands what criteria it uses to make decisions.
Tesla is still selling every car it can make and used Tesla command nearly new prices. I think the new end of the market isn’t saturated yet, and used prices won’t start coming down to affordable levels for the bulk of the used market until the demand of the new end is met.

It isn’t a problem; clean, efficient ICE vehicles are being sold by EV buyers and replacing older, dirtier cars in a cascade which is exactly what you want. Trickle-down, basically.

Ask HN: Why haven’t humans made more efficient writing methods?
over the last few centuries, the Latin alphabet has not changed at all. Many languages still have the same grammar and vocabulary. Despite having computers in our hands, we still rely on the same inefficient alphabet, grammar, and vocabulary. My question is: why haven’t we invented more efficient ways of communication? for example, why haven’t we added more letters to the alphabet? Why haven’t we incorporated commonly used icons as part of our writing (E.g. using the download icon to write “download” instead of using the alphabet to convey the same meaning)?

I feel like ever since the printing technology became more available, the pace of evolution of languages has slowed down. I thought computers would help with that, because they provide a dynamic way to exchange and communicate ideas. But here we are, decades after the invention of the first computer, and for programming we still rely on the QWERTY keyboard that wasn’t even invented for ease of use.

P.S: typos and errors are due to voice dictation.
The Winamp (classic) skinning was so brutally effective, considering how simple they were. AFAIK the bulk of the skin consisted of two or three .bmp-files which were spritesheet for all controls and fonts. Literally anyone could make one with a tiny bit of effort.

Now that screen resolutions vary quite a bit I suppose it wouldn't work as well as when all monitors were mediocre 800x600 or glorious high res 1024x768. Ah, the nostalgia.
Despite that law, it can still be difficult to get a charger installed if the property owner or HOA is against it. In some cases the electrical work requires trenching across a parking lot to a carport, or upgrading the electrical system in a parking garage. Those costs need to be borne by the tenants if they are exercising their rights under this law.
The wife started trying raise Monarch butterflies this year. We bought a great deal of milkweed plants, about 25 pots. Every day she would tend to the milkweed then brings in any caterpillar or larva she finds. Throughout the last seven months the number one issue our Monarch population faced was the Tachinid flies.

I don't know the exact number of larva eggs and caterpillars she brought into the house, but an educated guess would be around 250. The vast majority of the Monarch population was decimated by the Tachinid flies. I would say about 85% of them died as a result of the flies. Another cause we witness is when a caterpillar would expel green liquid then die. Still not sure the cause of them. Most info I could find pointed to toxins, like weed killer. We would wash the leaves after first reading about the toxins, but the caterpillars would still succumb.

In the end, I think only about 20-25 were well enough to be released. It has been very disheartening to see so many of them die.
Many things can break: the internet connection, the internal computer, the main power wire to the car connector, something inside the connector, something with the charger circuity like a bad contactor.

Then there's the obvious stuff like physical damage from vandalization or someone driving into it.

I'm catching up to you in terms of age and experience. Also self taught and hate the FAANG style code stuff because I just think it's not properly representative of real life, most of the time.

There is Nio where they swap the battery instead.

There are some large drawbacks with the large structure needed to swap the batteries though. Not sure if it'll be that successful in places where people mostly have single family homes.
> Doesn’t this apply to my first two suggestions? The Dell XPS Developer Edition is the same hardware as the Windows version, just with Ubuntu preinstalled. And Dell has upstreamed the drivers. Similar with Lenovo hardware, except IIUC they haven’t started shipping Linux preinstalled yet, you just buy a normal Thinkpad and install your distro of choice.

Drivers make a lot of difference to the feel of a trackpad, I wouldn't want to buy without testing the actual drivers. I wanted to like the XPS but its keyboard felt too rubbery to me. The idea of buying something and then shipping it back really doesn't appeal to me (I'm not from the US and the idea of just returning stuff isn't so much in our culture); I really want to go to an actual showroom-like store, try out a bunch of different laptops, and then walk away with the one I like, and I accept paying a premium for that. (I'm sure others will feel different, and maybe I'm not being reasonable; just trying to describe where I'm coming from).

> Is there precedent for this?

Yes, I've had three different pieces of hardware go unsupported in Linux (Logitech QuickCam USB - eventually support reappeared in a different driver; Asus A730W PDA; an old Hauppauge TV tuner card). Linux is openly really hostile about out-of-tree drivers (no stable API as a matter of policy) which the first two were, but even in-tree drivers are aggressively deprecated (the Hauppauge driver was one of those). I switched to FreeBSD on my home server because I was just fed up with all the churn of Linux and it's been a lot better.

Well if you watch that carefully, you'd see that Navalny pushing hard his version of events on that other guy, who pretty much responds mostly "I don't know much".

Now imagine a situation that bellingcat picked up this poor guy, who might be nothing but part of surveillance team and carefully staged this phone record to create an impression that the guy is some sort of a hitman.

In the West people might think that Navalny is a prominent opposition hero, but in reality he's known to be a some sort of "attention whore", has a limited popularity
