Interesting that the article is so dementia-focused, which I didn't expect.

Personally, naps do enough good for me that I regularly use L-theanine or melatonin to help those happen.

I've also been experimenting with taking L-theanine about an hour after waking in the morning, to encourage pre-noon naps, usually happening sometime between 8-11 am. This is because overnight sleep quality and sleep cycles can vary from day to day, so I find a bit of a "reset" nap in a more controlled environment (my office) can provide additional mood and executive support.

It seems a bit ridiculous now to consider how much of a daily energy bet I was making on the outcome of a single 6-10 hour overnight period, which could be affected/moderated by all kinds of factors.
Actually, GVim had been opening with “fileencoding” set to “utf-8” and the contents of the text-box were fine. It was only when saving that the text box would have the wrong characters. Late last Saturday night, I had edited the `editorcmd` to be

gvim -c "set filetype=markdown fileencoding=latin1"

At that stage, I hadn’t discovered the use of `x ++enc=utf-8` to resolve the issue and gave up at that stage (I thought I had reset the `editorcmd` but must have forgot). Anyhow, with the new native messenger, I don’t need to mess with specifying character sets and I’ve now set the Tridactyl `editorcmd` to the simpler:

gvim -c "set filetype=markdown"

Now GVIm opens with UTF-8 as both the “encoding” and “fileencoding” so I can exit it as usual with a simple `:x` and the text-box updates correctly.

Thanks again (your help with this prompted me to become a sponsor).
The us is at least a year late from sanctioning Modi. What's taking so long?
It say only California at the moment. They say they are expanding to other US states. If it catches on I imagine they will continue to expand it if its not illegal in other places.
The UK Government Admits That Covid Vaccines Are Worthless and Offers No Protect
Structuring regulations are very clear about physical cash in and out of a licensed financial institution (or avoiding declarations to customs). Most agencies and representatives have made it clear they aren't trying to debilitate bitcoin or bitcoin use. This fanfiction of the government not letting bitcoin be useful as a competitor is a weak argument mostly because the ship has sailed, about a decade ago.
I’ve always been jealous of those who can nap. For whatever reason my body just doesn’t want to fall asleep. Even at night it usually takes me over an hour to fall asleep. Anyone else unable to nap?
Genuine question, does this strike others as immensely off-topic? I'm curious if the parent commenter even opened the link. I'm sure there are applications of generalized knapsack problems (or dynamic programming generally) in options trading, but this isn't it.

Nope, complete propaganda by the Indian govt. I have family there so I can confirm. The Indian media is completely sold out to the govt and will only present highly selected and curated pictures. Social media is where they can't control the narrative. The Indian govt unleash sate sanctioned mobs on these protestors, desperate resort to break up the protest. Now they had to ensure that the truth stays under wraps. Hence, cut off internet.
> Being 10x at something is not inherently desirable

Especially since 10x engineers never get 10x compensation. In my experience your compensation is very loosely — if at all — correlated with your productivity. You are better off just switching jobs every 1-2 years and putting in 0.1x effort if you are optimizing for compensation.

Those are.....insane insurance prices? Which country is this for? What kind of driver?

I got a new Volvo XC60 T8 last year(400bhp, £60k car), my fully comprehensive insurance as a 29 year old is...£400 a year. With their highest tier premium insurance option, with premium courtesy car, full EU cover, glass cover, full legal cover, 20 million euro liability cover....etc, full package basically.

Before that I had a Mercedes GLA45 AMG and my insurance was marginally more expensive, like £500 a year.

I can't believe any of the cars you listed would be more to insure than these two....so what gives? Why is it so expensive?
Would this be legal in the US? It's one thing for a private entity to choose to not extend services to someone, but for the government to censor communication channels, I hope this would not be legal in the US?
They're doing it to each other.

Cloudflare is pretty much the only DNS resolver that doesn't provide the source user's IP address when doing recursive requests.

Archive.is is pretty much the only (big) website that refuses to answer DNS requests at all if they don't include the source IP address.

Cloudflare argues that this improves privacy (nevermind that the user's IP shows up anyway as soon as they try to actually connect). Archive.is argues that this prevents them from doing geographic load balancing (which, as it turns out, just happens to be a separate product that Cloudflare is happy to sell to websites).

Tabular numerals are actually more like monospace than uniwidth[-as-defined-here]; it's a font where all characters have the same width... as long as those characters are numerals. Variations like "weight-tabular" or "numerically-tabular" might work, although it's less obvious which properties "tabular" is holding constant (namely width; technically also height but noone varies that anyway).
Also, it is possible for most settings to be dynamic, which is useful on a laptop where you can plug screens, with XSETTINGS. That's what Gnome and XFCE are using. With Awesome WM, I am using a script [1] to update XSETTINGS (through xsettingsd configuration file). I explain more on my blog [2].

What if you want to display a pixel-perfect image? Perhaps this a rare use case, but it's important for some things, like dithering. Is there any way for you display an image where every pixel matches up to a display pixel?

They sell more e-books because the publishing industry colluded to jack up the price of paperbacks so that $10 e-books look like a bargain. I'm not paying $15 for a physical book that would have been $5 15 years ago. Their production overhead has been dramatically lowered by digital distribution and I'm expected to pay more?
In my own life, I've come to view the search for meaning as the fundamental goal of consciousness. My good friend calls this the "reconnection" and I've often wondered if connectedness could be used as the primary incentive for a general machine learning algorithm.
There is a wonderfully written article, Why Were the Early Psychedelicists So Weird? https://slatestarcodex.com/2016/04/28/why-were-early-psyched...

that expands on your important point.
If you move slower than 0.1c then you can’t really cross between galaxies (or at least you are limited to very nearby ones). So we only have to worry about grabby aliens in our galaxy AND we can be fairly certain that there are currently none! Since we ourselves are probably only thousands of years from being grabby this implies we don’t have advanced competitors .This is a very different picture from what Hansen discusses.
Excerpts from Philosophers’ Breakup Letters Throughout History
I'm honestly not seeing two sides sorry. So a few people are breaking laws, you disconnect the internet? That's not two sides, that's only one side. If someone in my neighborhood is a criminal, they don't cut the power to my neighborhood and throw flair bombs at it. How is that the "other side"? Instead they just go after that criminal. To me it looks like a massive imbalance in power from one side over the other.
You think this “sword attack” was coordinated by WhatsApp and therefore they should all be cut off?

In the US, electricity rates are typically much cheaper than the EU. My rate is roughly .08 €/kWh, for example, and I don't get any subsidies to convert to solar, so I have no way to make it pay off for myself within 15 years (beyond the time most people expect to stay in a home here), while other states in the US subsidize so heavily or rates for electricity are so high most people have solar panels at least (see: Hawaii with among the highest costs for electricity in the US).

Regardless of electricity cost, all that electricity usage winds up with a lot of heat in a dwelling. To help offset the energy consumption in the future I plan to use a hybrid water heater that can act as a heat pump and dehumidifier and capture the excess heat as a way to reduce energy consumption for hot water.

Everyone lies after a car accident. The claims adjusters expect it and only go off the evidence.
Fair enough, although that only applies if you want to dip in and out or watch on different devices. Had I actually watched cable TV latterly sufficient to justify what I was paying for it, I'd have had very little reason to switch to YouTube TV or whatever. The content is pretty comparable and the issue for me was that I just wasn't watching it nearly as much as other services that cost a lot less. I still wish I had live TV now and then but not enough to pay for it.

I was actually pleasantly surprised that when I canceled cable TV and my landline from Comcast they didn't even put up a mild fight. (I still have Internet from them.)
I don't think we are talking about the same thing. I was talking about the protestors attacking cops of which there are a lot of videos on social media. The video I linked above shows them jumping from a fort to save themselves.
> The only difference between a UBI and a negative income tax is framing.

No way.

Taxation requires benefit systems for those that are not working (unemployment, disability, maternity etc). UBI simplifies benefit systems, administratively and for the needy. The social outcomes for benefits are entirely different from what a UBI would bring.

Taxation is chunky (per year) and delayed (processing delays). There are heaps of corner cases of employment and salary changes during the year that might be equivalent over periods of many many months, but where a weekly UBI payment would make a huge difference to you if you were poor or unfortunate.

Taxation has more scope for fraud so requires much more overhead for prevention. A UBI is simple to manage - the things you need to detect are far more limited and are more easily checked and less invasively checked.

Disclaimer: I am not a UBI fan: I am just arguing against your point because it is so egregiously incorrect.
I’m going to guess the author has never met or worked with 10X developer, or Rockstar developer, or Ninja developer or many other previous incarnations.

It’s not about mathematical equations or lines of code or some superficial numerical value. Although, side effects of such developers can result in some numerical improvements.

It’s about impact in the project and development team. Being effective and productive in the field.

Techlead has a humorous, and mostly correct take on 10X engineer.

Yep, moreover bazel has a fine grained dependency graph and thus can invalidate only a minimal part of the action graph when some inputs change.

Docker instead has to re-build all subsequent layers when the input of even just one layer changes.

The two tools sit on a different point in the spectrum of simplicity of use though. Maintain build files for bazel (and dealing with other constraints of hermetic execution) is hard time-consuming and it's hard to convince many teams it's worth the effort.

Docker apparently struck a sweet spot in that it's easy to explain how to craft linear build steps and it does a half-decent job in actually caching stuff. Sometimes it doesn't work well depending on your workflow but people then have the incentive to read about how to improve the "cacheability" of their dockerfiles (multistage, reorder, dockerignore, ...). As many things in our craft, the human aspect trumps over technical brilliance.
" I’d argue the alternative modeling forced by FP langs would be superior."

Then I'd like to see that. The other example of the functional someone gave more above, was not convincing to me. Much more complicated then the straight-forward simple, but evil cycle approach.

It usually is crazier than you expect but I feel the authors answer “small trends” is a cop out answer. Small trends can be found in any success, the contrarian view is more interesting: why do things go right when they’re not supposed to? “Small trends” is a bad answer for GameStop, the answer is more complex and the variables aren’t covered in this article
In my more agile clients during the pandemic, I've seen a sharp shift to tracking time spent on those soft metrics, and acknowledging the space they take up on time per day. This led to explicit C-level support for more meeting discipline, and explicit No-Meeting-Day block-outs on calendars with the sole exception of production outages and specific meetings for specific projects with direct oversight from management 2 layers down from C-level. These clients' leadership have been very pleased with the overall productivity gain during the pandemic. The visibility into what people are working on and accomplishing, what planning captures, what planning does not capture (and importantly, who is responsible for most of the unplanned work so more planning assistance can be directed towards their areas of oversight) has pleasantly increased. A key tactic that has helped is explicitly setting aside entire planning weeks throughout the year, and making a conscious decision to trade off go-go-gains-all-the-time for more predictable delivery results so the business can plan around the deliveries.
They're the quotes that I'm getting from my insurance company's website. For context, I am 27, live in Finland and don't have full bonuses.

Granted, the online prices usually suck compared to what you can get once you call (or get called by) an agent. If I tried buying my current insurance for my car it's giving me 1100 €/year whereas my actual price is 940 €/year.

A 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA45 (49,000 €) would cost me 1380 €/year or 2040 €/year with all bells and whistles.
The ideas discussed in his post, especially the idea of rapidly expanding spheres of civilizations consuming all resources in their path, were beautifully explored in Stephen Baxter's sci-fi book, Manifold: Space (a spin-off of his earlier book, Manifold: Time, which is also excellent). In his book, alien intelligences are common; once they become sufficiently advanced, their civilizations tend to rapidly expand and consume all available resources, often to the detriment of other civilizations in their path. This pattern leads to some interesting phenomena: first, while the night sky might seem quiet at first, once we do encounter aliens, we tend to see their signals across many star systems in rapid succession. The reason is pretty obvious: there is only a brief period of time when we are on the surface of a sphere - a few years after our first observations of aliens, we are engulfed within their sphere and observe their signals from all over our stellar neighborhood. Another idea he plays with is the idea of "refugee" species, who attempt to flee oncoming spheres by evacuating ahead of their path instead of being consumed.

Actually, he pushes this idea even further: in the book, our solar system was already engulfed in a few spheres millions of years ago. He suggests that this why Venus is such a hellscape: the aliens came, took the resources they wanted, and left behind a polluted mess. In the case of Venus, they left lots of greenhouse gases behind as the result of some chemical process used to extract resources; as a result, Venus quickly became the warmest planet in the solar system. It's a fun twist on the Fermi paradox: signs of aliens are actually all around us, we are just too dumb to notice them.

Another interesting idea he explores a bit is "ownership" of resources. Do the resource-rich asteroids in our solar system really belong to us? Or are they available to any alien race who happens to pass through? In the book, we first notice aliens by observing unexplainable infrared radiation from the asteroid belt (later revealed to be thermal emissions from their resource extraction). He suggests that these aliens will potentially crowd out humans; even if they are not overtly hostile, they could gobble up all the resources we would have used to expand our civilization.

Highly recommend this book.
Just curious; why QV?
I'm not sure I quite get the retail unbundling argument. Chinese sellers selling through Amazon is not direct to the buyer. It's through Amazon.
Yes. Pretty much still relevant in the 21st century but with an orwellian twist.

Similarly, Rowan Atkinson described [0] this behaviour as a 'digital equivalent of the medieval mob roaming the streets looking for someone to burn.' Once the target has been acquired, they have become 'excommunicated' from society; permanently.

When you add Big Tech into the mix, cancel-culture and the de-platformings becomes a lot more dystopian since they have the power and control to do so at any time.

I am all for peaceful protests, the constitution has given every citizen the right to protest. But not at the cost of damage to the public property, rioting and violence. Jfyi, there is already case in supreme court of India to hear the grievances that they may have. But some political leaders are taking advantage of the situation to incite violence.
Please note, cops are human beings too, they have been asked not to use lethal force against the protestors.
Why Ordering Internet Shutdowns Is Outrageous

I use this concept of a "billable nap" ... it gets to the midafternoon and I'm deep in a programming problem, and my thought process gets far too fuzzy. So I can either spend a couple of hours or more struggling through, or I can shut my eyes for a bit 20 minutes idelally, and then nail the problem down in a much shorter time than without the nap.
I kinda want to call them "weight agnostic", but that might be even more confusing

> than seeing elephants

I don't want to strawman anyone. Are there really Anachrocapitalists who believe that the market should decide whether or not we have mass extinctions, or is this post mostly satirical?

There are so many problems with this idea, not the least being that markets aren't designed to eliminate niche ideas, they're designed to support them -- and because wild populations of elephants are a shared common resource, even a small number of people who are happier owning tusks means that their preferences suddenly outweigh the vast majority that want them to stop killing elephants.

Markets aren't designed to stop people from irreparably damaging commons and messing up the world for everyone. That doesn't mean markets are bad, it just means... that's not what they were ever designed to do. You're using them to try and fix a problem that they're not optimized to fix.

This is very much a, "if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" proposal. We don't need to solve literally every single problem with Capitalism. We especially shouldn't look at every single problem and say, "Capitalism doesn't solve that, so it's not a real problem."

Credit where credit is due this is the one area where Windows is the best OS these days. It not only will do fractional scaling but it will do display independent fractional scaling - whack in the scaling percentage on each screen and in the recent versions of Windows 10 it works well and looks great and remembers your settings when you plug that monitor back in. It is perhaps THE thing along with WSL2 (now giving me a ‘real’ Ubuntu commandline as well as Docker/Kubernetes experience where disks are mounted on both sides and things work seamlessly via VS Code) that made me choose Windows over the Mac and Linux this time around.
It would help your case to present a better source. As far as I know from Wiki source discussions for India sources like 'Republic', 'The Wire', Op something? tend to have extremely lopsided representation of events and facts.
