I'm regularly doing 300km one way on German Autobahn's. I did it with peak 130km/h in the past but now do peak 190km/h. It doubles the fuel consumption but feels to save me the trip down from 3:30 hours to 2:30. That's quite a lot.

Supplements have been really fun. For example, 2:1 L-Theanine to Caffeine, especially after a nap, is like productivity medicine for me.

I bought a shelf stereo system and keep it turned on at low volume while I work, and it's nice to randomly hear an old song I like, or a new song I like. Local FM is handy during emergencies here too, and it even seems like about 1/4 of the ads are PSAs or local announcements from NPOs, government agencies with helpful info, etc.

I also bought a scanner radio and enjoy listening to local radio traffic on breaks.

I bought some desk mats that I like, and I prefer looking at them rather than my desktop, which is an old banquet table from 2000 (newer tempered glass desk is too cold in the winter).

Regarding stationery, I picked up some horizontal shelving for pens and pencils, and bought a bunch of fountain pens, watercolor pencils, highlighters, and so on...a lot of fun for doodling on those long calls.

Finally I bought an /r/cheapkeys keyboard, then another...anyway, long story short I learned some basic chord progressions for jamming purposes, and now I have a keyboard collection. It's been a lot of fun. (I learned the keyboard solo from "All of My Love" by Led Zeppelin and I swear it was one of the highlights of 2020, amidst all the darkness)

Anyway I'm a bit weird in that I find that enjoyable interests and values-based living is where productivity goes to recuperate and regroup before reaching higher highs. Good luck to you.

Neither party supports it. One plays pretend. All of the real progress forward has come from referendums.

> If everything is censorship, seems to me like nothing is.

I will give a definition that counters this.

Censorship is not a binary thing. It is a spectrum.

Specially, the definition of censorship that I would use, would be "Any action at all, that chills someone else's speech. But the more power and effective the action is, the more that it is a problem".

So, government censorship is a problem not because it is the government doing it specifically, but it is a problem because the government has a lot of power.

To give another example, if a very power criminal organization was threatening to kill anyone who said bad things about it, and these threats were real and worked to chill people speech, then I would consider this to be possibly as bad as the government doing it.

To address your other example, the main question that I would ask is how powerful is the action. You refusing to listen to someone doesn't very effectively chill speech.

But actions such as very large and powerful companies censoring things is much more effective than a teacher censoring things, and thus a larger problem, although not as big of a problem as if someone threatened people, en mass, with violence.

To address the Facebook example, the question that I would ask is "How powerful is facebook, and how effectively are they able to wield that power to chill any form of speech? Are they very effective at controlling speech or not very effective at it?"
I was a ridiculously cute little girl and I'm pretty damn sure a lot of my social issues as a young adult were rooted in getting essentially trained to play to the crowd as a toddler. At that age, it's a form of brainwashing and it's amazingly hard to root out after you become an adult and are puzzled that your antics no longer get you adoration. (PSA: Please don't do this to your own children. It's an awful thing to experience.)

My oldest son was a ridiculously cute toddler but I never taught him that he was expected to play to the crowd. So when he got to be school age and found that too much social attention was actively problematic, he was able to choose to intentionally behave differently.

This is likely to some degree a gender difference. Girls seem to get a lot more social pressure generally to "be cute" and to engage socially in a performative manner.

There's an element of the "just working here" mentality, but it's more than that. I was in Afghanistan more than a decade ago, and in my mind, we were fighting against the abuses and brutality of the Taliban. The guy shooting at me from a mountainside with a PKM was "one of them", a legitimate bad guy.

In retrospect, I realize that guy was probably much like me. A young guy, full of testosterone and looking for adventure, with notions of being part of something grand and heroic (repelling an invader) and a certain naivete about the larger forces and agendas that were using him. We'd probably get along if we met now.

Awhile back I saw a conversation on Reddit between an American soldier who fought in Ramadi (or maybe Fallujah, I can't remember) and an Iraqi soldier who was there at the same time fighting against the Americans. There was no ill will at all, just storytelling and reminiscing, and talking about the courses of their lives, families, and careers since then. The fact was that these guys had almost everything in common about that time in their lives, and had similar motivations for taking part in it. The only difference was that they happened to be on opposite sides.

No. Abuse of facts can definitely be racist. But facts are simply facts. E.g. if someone claimed that police are sexist and pointed out that 90% of police killings are against men, and another responded that this matches the rate at which men commit violent crime that's a perfectly reasonable use of facts. Pointing to the fact that men commit crime at higher rates and saying they cannot be trusted in public society and that civil rights should be curbed is an abuse of facts.

We can, and should, criticize the abuse of facts. But we should be sure we are criticizing the abuse not trying to deny the fact itself. I think many who do the latter are well-intentioned, but ultimately it's trying to deny reality.
From what I've seen of their recommendation algorithm, it's actually better that Goodreads's as well. The only issue being it seems to aggregate what you put in as your mood and preferences as well as what you've read, whereas on Goodreads you can filter by 'shelf' (which is usually horrible, but a feature I'd love to have on StoryGraph)

Good run-down of the two types of clubs. To add an European additional view on this (mine), I'd say that in my city (Bucharest) the second type of clubs was still ahead of the first type of clubs pre-pandemic, even though both were on their way down. Bucharest is (semi-)famous in the Electronic Dance music scene for its minimal style [1], but the club scene had become less and less important compared to dedicated festivals like Sunwaves[2], for example.

I'm sad to see Google Play Music go, I loved it.

I am now using YouTube Music, but it's a completely different product and a lot worse than Play Music. The "radio" in function in GPM was amazing, but in YouTube music it just randomly plays songs you listened too, so it combines rock songs with meditation songs, it's a mess.

If someone wants to go the plain-old-text-files route for books, I'd stan for GNU Recutils over org-mode.

This is the kind of thing recutils is specifically designed for, where org-mode is merely capable of it by virtue of its kitchen-sink nature.

IMHO recutils should be the first choice if you find yourself wanting both a database and a text file simultaneously.
I think you are attributing a lot of what goes on to choice - war has a poor track record in this regard and soldiers are often recruited very young and/or conscripted. Even the US recruits soldiers defined by the Convention on the protection of children (below 18). Schools are used for recruiting in many places.

This aspect of war is really sad - giving kids and young adults guns and sending them off to shoot people is widely glorified.
It is estimated that 70% of conflicts involve child soldiers, though any measurement is hard due variable definitions and the difficulty in measuring.

It’s not in Facebook’s business interest to continue to host this kind of politically charged and controversial content. As a publicly traded company, Facebook has a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders.

Every decision they make should be viewed through the lens of, “Is this beneficial to the profit of the company?” If the answer is no, the content should be blocked.
Ask HN: Is anyone still using Gulp?
To me it's something that made most sense out of all build tools, I can easily see the entire pipeline step by step.

So I'm not sure why it seems to me like nobody is using it. I've been using it for years now it works just as good as back then.

So for example take js files

.pipe(transpile).pipe(bundle_split).pipe(sourcemaps).pipe(minify).pipe(hmr).pipe(versioning)...... etc

for css

.pipe(scss_converter).pipe(sourcemaps).pipe(minifier).pipe(hmr).pipe(version)... etc

i've been able to switch different stuff in and out thanks to community always wrapping newer tools as plugin.

like webpack as bundler, typescript/babel transpilers, auto prefixers, etc.

to me this step by step clear build pipeline makes more sense then hardcoded configs.

but gulp seems to be disappearing??

I do agree with you. That is the financial basis of their existence and will drive their decisions, however in practice the public does use them as a defacto public forum. These two ideas coexist and are also irreconcilable.

Personally, I think nationalizing FB, removing their profit motive, and clearly placing them under 1A protections is a good idea.

If you're worried about the government shutting down dissenters, well guess what this thread is about? The government and FB are only able to achieve this due to the private property protections FB has and rhetorical spin that provides.

I found this option when reading about the new changes made between OpenBSD 6.8 and -current. [0]

The first option "PerSourceMaxStartups" configures how many times a new source can open new connections to sshd(8). The second option "PerSourceNetBlockSize" lets you specify how strict the source check is in the form of number of bits per IPv4 or IPv6 address, e.g. "32" for a single host or "24" for a typical /24 network.

The options are disabled by default so your current sshd_config(5) will continue to work fine.

I think this is a really great addition that may complement or even replace other forms of sshd(8) protection like fail2ban.

Why are you slandering people that you have never met based on some cherrypicked out of context tweets? The way Dawkins picked a random fact about Muslims out of a hat and broadcast it to his followers adds nothing to academic discourse and puts them in a bad light. Its application is discriminatory and demeaning. He deserves to be called out. While woke culture and political correctness on Twitter have their own problems, the whole point is to counteract blatant racism like this. Facts, math, and merit are not racist, but using them as a bludgeon to degrade and discriminate on racial grounds is.
What's happening in India is that farmers were/are going to be screwed, and they're really mad about it.

I had the same experience just a few minutes in to Dark Forest. I immediately googled to see if anyone else was struggling with the translation or if it was just me.

I found many passages difficult to get through, and I'd constantly realise I'd read an entire page without taking anything in. Book 3 and 4 where both much easier to read, and they were both translated by Ken Liu.

(Haven't read the mandarin versions though)
Likewise. The idea of the dark forest was exhilarating and got the mental gears turning like crazy. I hadn’t encountered this idea before and I expected really engaging content.

The book was a bit of a slog, though. Still good without a doubt, just nowhere near as flowing and page-turning as the one before it.

I went into the third book slightly worried it might have progressed further in that direction, but you’re right, it was a step back in the right direction.
I don't think this article denies that people have different mental abilities, just that "talent" is a vague and hard to quantify term (as evidenced by how — as mentioned in the article — nearly every SV company is convinced they hire the top 1% of developers).

From news reports it seems only a section of farmers, as the protests are concentrated in few areas. But as I said in the comment above I don't want to go into the merits/demerits of it, as looking from outside we both will not have the complete info. You can call them capitalist interests but most of the expert opinion from a farming/economics standpoint within the country and outside seems to support the laws.
