You haven't mentioned your age. It could be good to get a blood test. When my wife was pregnant with twin girls I was always feeling wiped out, a blood test revealed my I had low thyroid hormone levels. A tablet a day has fixed that.

Are you able to do some of your project work at work. Included in this is building an internal web based application for your customers/users, automating things. I built things at work and home while learning the Java Spring Framework for example.

I also worked on stuff during my commute on the bus to and from work.

I find I have to stop working on a computer by 9pm or I won't sleep that night.

There's heaps of things I can't get done in a day or put off as I'm too tired. Trying to reduce TV consumption and social media consumption can help!
I didn’t expect live plants when reading the headline. Something becoming a fossil after being buried by a mile of ice isn’t that surprising, in my opinion? Live plants would have warranted a qualifier in my opinion.

Edit: but yes, you are of course right that adding ‘fossil’ would have made the headline clearer.
I was just watching a seminar about color grading in portrait photography and it also talked about luminosity, how it's processed faster than color, and how to account for it while color grading.

For artistic affect, it may be preferred to have near equal luminosity throughout the image so that the luminance variance doesn't allow you to "make up your mind" about the image before processing the color.

Interesting to so soon come across related studies without searching.

That’s missing the point. You could have said the same thing about the internet. But we are not collectively making this decision based on politics, the market has decided that crypto is valuable.
Right, but you can't customise the automatic config. It's all or nothing - you have to either use the whole autoconfig as-is or reimplement everything that it does yourself.

I am aware that one can build the app from source; my comments were orthogonal to that.

It is customary for open source projects that involve complicated or proprietary build processes to provide binaries which one can simply download and run. App Store releases are decidedly not this: they include DRM, and have as a requirement the provision of personal information to (and agreement to an onerous legal contract with) a third party: the app store vendor. You can't get free apps from the mac App Store without giving Apple your phone number and email address.

In the case of interpreted software (such as this) those interpreted (but nonetheless runnable) files should be modifiable. You shouldn't have to set up a toolchain (which on macOS is proprietary and requires its own EULA) to try out this software if you don’t have or want an AppleID.

If you do jump through the App Store hoops, you can't edit the app and then run it.
What I learned recently is that Japan (where I've only lived) is one of the country that has snowiest (not coldest) cities. I had thought norway or somewhere near is more snowiest but isn't. Maybe due to snower places aren't developed?

Possibly it makes Japanese car relatively solid for snow. (But note that most car manufacturer's HQ/R&D isn't located in snowy city)
Perhaps it's not a coincidence that fascism is on the rise again, now that living memory of WWII is all but gone.

My initial idea was finding logos from landing pages to see what are the partners of a given startup. Before doing this I guess I have to get to a decent level of accuracy though.
I walked away from this thinking the $69M image was much cooler than I expected it to be.

Its like a representation of the artist's whole body of work, ~4000 lower quality sketches progressing into ~1000 in his current style.

I feel like this art critic is not in touch with meme culture. Many of the examples contained were quite striking and interesting, don't find drawings of dicks or naked people particularly shocking or objectionable.

Heck, I'd say his work is more interesting to look at than bowls of fruit and portraits of historical figures.
You have the right to install an alternate OS on your phone now. It's just difficult to do, may result in bricking your device or at least crippling functionality, and even if all goes well, the software ecosystems for the existing alternate OSes is pretty small. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a viable phone OS, but as far as I can tell none of the existing options are ready to be used as a daily driver yet.
If you want to stop at specified times, you could just split the video across several slides.

The phrase "irreversibly melting off" is troubling for me to read.
As one with no information about Beeple or this artwork other than the headline, I found the article informative. I appreciate someone taking the time to find higher resolution individual images, not to mention attempting to identify themes and styles.

From the article, Beeple’s work doesn’t do much for me, but nor does most other art. My tastes are unrefined and primitive.

But my tastes are completely my own. I am happy for those who get something out of pondering questions like “what is art?” It’s great that you enjoy Beeple. Don’t let this article bum you out.
it's not shocking, it's mediocre renditions of things which were common art during the last 15 years and put together, the sum still really isn't worth more than the parts

I think it was Will Durant who described Sparta best.

I can't find the quote, but to paraphrase, Durant stated that Sparta ceased to be a civilization in that it produced no art, literature, or culture of any kind. The Spartan citizen class shrank until every hour of every citizen's life was occupied just trying to control their own populace and territory with murder and fear. We remember and honour their tenacity, but forget that it was made necessary by the extreme dysfunction of their society.
This is fascinating. I never realized it was meant to be used that way.

In practice, (and I saw plenty of ugly CGA) I don't think I ever came across one of these composite outputs/monitor combos.
ah, I am promoted thus to reminisce upon my boolshitten youth spent vainly stabbing out crud most fervid and amorous to dump the vilest cores to jest with that naivest child me to know it better than to presume that my brittle logic could affect it so profoundly to do my bidding...
Of course it's also a fallacy to lump the entire phenomenon of slavery under one umbrella. Islam does not allow enslaving people just by attacking them and taking them hostage as what the US did with Africa. Furthermore, the system is fundamentally different under Islam, so much so that the Mamluk Sultanate came to be, something unprecedented in human history.
In my case, it turned out to be ADHD, which is far more nuanced than people make it out to be.

For a person to do something, there are two components: 1) motivation, and 2) activation. Activation is how "easy" it is to get going. Activation has an aspect of mental state to it, and an aspect of engineering (e.g. many dark design patterns work by reducing the activation needed to do what the designer wants you to).

People with ADHD need much more activation than the usual person to get going. So, a common refrain is "I must be lazy, because I can't bring myself to do the things I care about". Once an ADHD person is over the activation hump though, they face a different challenge: stopping. Stopping in a timely fashion is necessary for good health (need to sleep, and eat), and consistent progress (doing a little bit every day is much better than "a lot" one day in two months).

But, whether you have ADHD or not, don't discount the impact of the $$$ spent engineering various services so that they require as little activation as possible. I'm not yet sure what the solution to this is, but I think being aware of the activation/motivation distinction is a good first step to eventually reaching a solution.
But first-class function is a completely different thing than dependency injection (DI). Supporting functional programming is a an aspect of the programming language itself, while DI is part of the infrastructure.

I agree with you, that Java should have had first-class function from day one. Ironically this was considered by the language designers, but they decided that it would be too exotic for the average Joe. OOP was a hype back then ...
> What is the article author trying to point out there?

That the artist is not PC enough, so his art must be valueless and he should probably be cancelled.
You don't need Spring Boot for that. You can use plain Spring with annotation-based config, no XML needed. And your IDE navigation will work, whereas with Spring Boot it frequently finds the wrong bean definition because of all the dynamic magic (ConditionalOnClasspath, ConditionalOnMissingBean etc.).
With extremely strong accents and sometimes probably hardly intelligible, depending on which time and place they land in. One primary problem is that there was no "Ancient Greek" pronunciation. Greece was not a single country back then but consisted of many different regions and kingdoms, who frequently went to war with each other (which I always found rather ridiculous. Compare the Kingdom of Rhode Island going to war with the City State of New York).

So Greek was what is called a pluricentric language and had IIRC at least five major dialects (Attic, Ionic, East Greek, West Greek etc.). Of course these changed significantly over the centuries, too.

There is obviously a whole field of research into Ancient Greek phonology and they have various points of reference to determine possible pronunciation. There are also a number of surviving texts that do discuss pronunciation of some words.

However, to me the most interesting tidbit was always that they found out how to pronounce the letter "η" (which in modern Greek is similar to "ee" like "meet") when a fragment of an ancient comedy by Aristophanes was discovered in which a guy is about to be sacrificed by a priest (I think?) and the priest tells him to behave like a sheep (as a kind of proverbial "sacrificial lamb" I suppose) and imitate sheep noises (difficult to put in English but something like "baa").

This was rendered as "βῆ βῆ" in the fragment and because Greek sheep have not changed their accent over the millennia, we were able to get some insight in to how that must have sounded. ;-)

if you are comfortable with LaTeX, you can use the animate package on beamer slides. It does just that, and allows both playing the animation or running it frame by frame (fwd and back).
Agree on automatic creation part.

I use org-roam extensively and create many many tiny files. Usually I start writing in daily note and simply link to the file. Then when I have something substantial I move to the linked file (automatically created when linking first time) and write stuff here. I get backlinks simultaneously so it is pretty easy to follow my chain of thoughts.

I've read it. I think its misleading. Hosting costs were less when wikimedia had no money, but speed was much lower, downtime was constant, there were no backup data centers (and the data center was literally in a high risk hurricane zone), and the sites had exponential growth since then. I'm not sure if that chart includes salary cost, but there's also the difference between paying all the sysadmins vs largely volunteer sysadmins. Maybe there's an argument that its better to stick to volunteers if at all possible, but at the end of the day there are quality improvements when you have 24/7 on call coverage vs hoping some random volunteer with a day-job is available to bring the site back up when it explodes (not to mention burn out is not sustainable in the long term).

At the end of the day, wikipedia's hosting is much higher quality now than it was in the beginning. Wikipedia used to go down so much there was literally an external website dedicated as a scratch pad for users to write articles on until the real website came back up. Back in the day, when WMF had no money, they cut every corner they could to make it work. The result was something that was always on fire but got the job done. Now we have much better quality. But quality costs money. Whether or not the trade-off is worth it is debatable, but lets not pretend that wikimedia hosting costs are buying the same thing as they were in 2005.

Last of all, i would encourage a comparison to any other site of similar size/popularity. Wikimedia hosting is orders of magnitude cheaper than industry norms.

Duration and start time can both be useful, and the former can be calculated from the latter as needed. Plus it's easier to implement (stateless) and has consistent alignment (always 10 digits).

BTW here's the function I use:

```
showTime() {
if [[ "$?" -eq 0 ]]
then
TIMECOLOR='\e[92m'
else
TIMECOLOR='\e[91m'
fi
echo -e "$TIMECOLOR$(date '+%s')\e[0m"
}
```
But then, Wikipedia is to be read critically, and is not a source of unquestionable truth. Particularly when there is a value judgment such as in your quote.
They didn't say anything about the quality of the service, they mentioned the low popularity.
It may not be something you can publish as success, though.

> How do you find the motivation to do the things you genuinely enjoy, when you’re too wiped out to do them?

You should question if you really are enjoying those things or rather pretend to. If you were really enjoying them you wouldn’t ask how to get started doing them (which is procrastination) but would do anyway.

My solution would be to take some real rest (i.e. a nap and no TV) before doing anything else.
Joplin is everything that I want in a note-taking app, and I use it constantly. It actually does support linking between notes.
> They produced no literature, goods, art or bequeathed anything to posterity other than their notoriety as a brutal martial society even that is being questioned. The messy Romans were far better and interesting through their start as a monarchy, transitioning through republic and empire to end as a theological autocracy.

I think you picked-up a skewed version of History.

Sparta, the first democracy in recorded history, was one of the few Grecian areas where women could go to school, own property, and engage in sports. Throughout the rest of Greece, most women were illiterate. The Spartan constitution is the first known to have an Assembly composed of all citizens.

Plutarch said, "devotion to the intellect is more characteristic of Sparta than love of physical exercise."

Socrates said, "the most ancient and fertile homes of philosophy among the Greeks are Crete and Sparta, where are found more sophists than anywhere on earth."

The oldest recorded heterosexual love poem was the work of a Spartan poet praising Spartan maidens.
Again, by your definition, every non-fixed-width HTML page could be called responsive. I don’t think so.

Responsive does include other methods as well, but nobody looks at a CSS-less page and calls that responsive because the text always fits the window. That’s just too broad of a definition.

The comment I was replying to specifically mentioned that “SVGs are responsive because they resize without additional effort.” That’s blatantly false. “No additional effort” only gives you an SVG that scales (just like images can, and you don’t call images responsive)

On review, however, SVGs can be made responsive, it’s just that it’s not easier than regular HTML.
Prioritize what you want to do/work on. Too tired at 11pm? Splice that time onto the front of your day to get a couple hours in before work. Put yourself first.

People find/make time for the things they want to do (for their hobbies). Hobbies are typically enjoyed, if you’re not enjoying things, try something else?

I have a dozen books I’m “currently reading.” Sometimes I finish three or four books while still only 20 pages into another. Reading also compounds (the more you read, the more you can read—and understand).

Maybe a good audio book for you would be Atomic Habits. Maybe you can start with doing something you enjoy for just 10-20minutes a day, consistently. Consistency compounds.
I am interested in what you are saying. If I can ask for a favor, could you maybe link to examples of two different portraits: one with uniform luminosity and one without?

I don’t really know enough about color theory and the terminology to imagine what you are describing. I don’t even know enough to properly search for example images myself. Hence the request. :-)
I can sort of imagine how it could be seen as indoctrinating and be unintendedly traumatizing, but barbaric?

There's some idea of ancient greek pronunciation based on phonetic misspellings found scattered about. I studied /some/ ancient greek in undergrad, and when I visited Greece it did, indeed, seen like a while different language, with large shifts in both pronunciation and meaning of words. My favorite was agathos, which is noble and good in ancient greek, but means native or simple minded in modern greek.

Also worth keeping in mind that broadcast and recordings do a lot of work to reduce language drift today, over time but especially over geography. A mountainous, watery place like Greece almost certainly would have a lot of drift in accent and informal language.

I don’t think CNN is the pinnacle of journalism, I’m saying they meet a minimum bar of standards that Greenwald doesn’t or can’t.

CNN definitely has a bias towards scandal and outrage but so does Greenwald. He has the same incentives as them (clicks) but he does it without fact checkers.

What I recommend to people is a diverse media diet. Different mediums, different incentives, etc. So not Fox News and MSNBC, but newspapers, books about current events, public broadcasting, etc. And best to be skeptical of anyone promising “the truth about X” or “what Y doesn’t want you to know”.
So, debate as a performance? This makes it much less innovative than it sounds.

It was customary for big religions to stage such debates when trying to convert a pagan society. Check the history of Cyril and Methodius and their khazar mission which is 4-5 hundreds years prier.
This question is difficult to answer because it's likely that the most compex concept you think you understand you don't really.

I thought about this question and thought, Rust lifetimes or Rust coherence rules, but then again I thought maybe I don't really understand them.

Perhaps it is more helpful to ask: what is the most complex concept you can explain the basics?

I think the art itself represents the 'ivory tower' in the art world more than this essay about it. Look at the past century in the art world... Duchamp's toilet, 'Piss Christ', Warhol's art films starring cross-dressers and druggies, Carolee Schneemann’s 'Interior Scroll', Maplethorpe's 'golden shower' photos. There's no shocking anyone now. Some Russian artist literally nailed his balls to Red Square a couple years back.

I think there are some decent points in your comment, but on a gut level I figure the author just found some of this artist's examples cringeworthy and I relate a little.
Side projects > leetcode, any day of the week.

I’ve personally transitioned several people from other industries into software successfully.

Some of them got stuck in the leetcode world convinced it is what would help them get hired.

You know the ones who always get hired the fastest? The ones who have real-world prototype apps to demo to recruiters and interviewers and showcase their applied knowledge.

As someone who also has hired several engineers, I don’t care how many leetcode problems you do if you can’t do basic real world tasks like simple devops, or don’t have basic domain-specific experience (such as GraphQL, React, Stripe to name a few randomly, whatever tools are in the stack or the place you’re trying to get into).

Also idk why you think FAANG is the only place where you can find money. I can tell you from first hand experience that you can sell the most mundane development work, like basic jQuery and CSS site updates, for hundreds of thousands of dollars with the right opportunity. Plenty of prestige in running your own firm. Networking well is where the money is.

It seems like something that would be arbitrary depending on how the optimization was implemented. There wouldn't be an inherent need for that amount of generalization. Apple can tightly control their compiler to follow the rules, and there seemingly wouldn't be any compelling reason not to stick those two instructions back to back in a consistent order, since the second instruction is effectively free.

It would be fun to experiment with, for someone that has the hardware. My guess is that swapping the order will make it slower, but adding an independent instruction or two between them probably won't have a measureable effect. It would be fun to try and consistently interrupt the CPU between the two instructions as well somehow, to see if that short-circuits the optimization.
