As an ADHD I just skim through this I see the write down 'The One Thing' part I'm not sure if it will work well, but most of these rituals don't work for me usually.

But what did really work for me:

1. Read the book as soon as I just found it and was interested in it. If it is short I would finish it directly. If it is long I'll eventually fail halfway and it's okay.

2. Top-down reading. Skim through books quickly, multiple rounds, each round goes deeper. In this way, I can stop anytime and still get some insights, instead of stuck in chapter 2 failed and time wasted. I can also always come back later.

3. No additional overheads, no notes, no plan, no to-do lists, or write down 'The One Things'. Try to use the brain instead of tools, tools usually give me leading I hate everything and gave up earlier. Also, practice this way you'll also find brains are better than people perceive them - people used to recite phone numbers.

4. Read when I feel like, at least don't read the same book when I started to struggle - try switch to another book, or else just go out and do anything you want.

In essence: 1) read when you feel like 2) read incrementally so you can stop anytime 3) avoid negative feedback loop
What if... instead of YouTube you'd have several intereset based sites which could actually handle their moderation and workload instead of being a giant uncaring behemoth?

This is bullshit. WHM switched to Monero, not "all of the DNMs"
I have a hard time understanding what problem this solves versus SQL?

This really should have demonstration of some of the actual use cases where this shines vs SQL.

Also: SQL-92 has values clause which makes the example provided a little bit silly, you could just use

values (2),(3),(5)

Another example they gave is a 5-line (excluding imported code) mocking code with a comment "compare that to what you would have to do to achieve the same using bare SQL". Okay..

select * from (values (1, 'hello'), (2, 'logic'), (3, 'programming')) as mocktable(user_id, comment);
You can still buy pizza and games with BTC. If anything, I'd argue that the market for this has increased.
This is why I use pass without git. pass works normally without git, but the Android app assumes the store is a repository, so it "mostly" works.
There is a plausible approach https://norightsemployee.uk/step-by-step but it doesn't address the limited company issue.

It is possible to work inside IR35 without having own company, but I have not seen many materials about that, so I'll leave it.

Company formation is very quick and can be automated and there are already companies who automate accounting related to this.

The structure would have to look like this:
- deemed employee gets a job offer, he or she accepts

- company creates limited company on worker's behalf and creates an agreement with a fee payer - it must contain clauses limiting substitution and few other to ensure it falls in scope of IR35.

- Fee payer is an intermediary between employer and worker that pays tax on behalf of the worker and sends his or hers salary to their company account. (these companies already exist)

- all accounting for worker's company can be automated (there will be no Corporation Tax to pay etc.)

This may seem complex, but I can imagine it gets streamlined quickly when companies see the benefits.
Sorry, "zero risk" doesn't exist.
JavaScript performance is completely vendor specific. There's no reference implementation for a JavaScript VM.

So, it's more useful to talk about, let's say, v8 performance. Much of v8 performance is also version specific, and not all of it is documented.

Code running on v8 can be blazing fast, or it can be slow. It depends on whether the code can be "optimized" (JIT compiled) and kept that way (because code can also be "deoptimized", meaning, the jitted version gets thrown away).

With JavaScript, if you want to ensure your code always runs fast as it possibly can, you have to become acquainted with the rules behind optimization and deoptimization, and start tracing optimizations and deoptimizations to make sure that your code gets optimized, and stays optimized. This process can be time consuming and can make your JavaScript look non-idiomatic and less readable.

In the other hand, WebAssembly performance is easier to reason about with respect to what's described above.
I have yet to check it out, but it's very cool when people try to rethink SQL, and also revive Datalog. I (morally) support this effort.

Myself, I would like to see data query/manipulation language as a total functional language, possibly based on the idea of categorical data transformations: https://www.categoricaldata.net/

Also - bit of a rant - if you're creating a new programming language, consider making syntax and semantics separate in the specification. Lots of people get hung up on arguing about language syntax but it's really semantics differences that are important for compatibility. Lot of new languages comes up only to fix syntactic problems with existing languages but create small semantic differences in the process, making automated translation from and to existing languages difficult. I wish we could move to a world where syntax and semantics in programming languages are discussed separately from each other.
It is for this reason I am moving away from ProtonMail to Migadu. Literally any IMAP-offering email service would do. All that we need is a custom domain.
Hate to pick on a typo, but I had to laugh. “Scrapping Reddit” is exactly how I added two hours back to my day.
> I argued with a few people at the time, including the book's author [who came across as a bit of an arrogant arsehole] that; seeing as the book seemed to be pretty much the only recommended beginner's guide to the language, the people behind Nim should bung the author a wodge of cash and make the ebook available for free [as pretty much every other programming language does, in some way or another] if they wanted to attract new users.

Wow, I'm really sorry if I came across that way to you (I'm the author btw). Can you recall where the discussion took place so I can understand what happened?

For what it's worth: I don't personally view Nim in Action as the de facto manual. The Nim programming language has always had an official tutorial[1] as well as a reference manual[2], plus various other freely available resources to learn it[3]. Nim in Action wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for the publisher (Manning) supporting me in writing it. Because of this the choice of whether to release it for free or not was never in the hands of me or the Nim community, it's up to the publisher.

What we could have done differently is had me not take the opportunity to write the book and instead go the self-publishing route, but as someone who has had no prior experience writing books and no money I doubt I would have had the motivation to complete such a feat.

From the site:

> Is this site trying to sell me something?

> No! We're just here to promote the use of NREs because we believe this is our chance to increase the productivity and fortunes of Great Britain, especially post-Brexit.

So, disingenuous as hell - it's totally a protest site but claims to be pro.

Very large pinch of salt needed here.
My Surface Book 2 is one of the purchases I regret the most.

The tablet mode is decent, although a USB port would have been nice. The display is fantastic, although a bit too reflective.

Using the machine is another story, battery life isn’t as exceptional as it’s made out to be, and it’s slow (even web browsing on Edge or Chrome is janky on anything other than “Better performance” mode).

Maybe the SB3 is better but the 2 has put me off.

Isn't that basically how reddit operates? And last I heard they have their native video hosting as well. Sounds like this could work, but doesn't quite at the moment. Is YouTube handling content discovery better? Network effects maybe?
Used it for a bunch of stuff like teaching students, creating quick proof of concepts and sharing code on stackoverflow, works like a charm every time.

Would be great to see a git/github integration coming soon, I love deploying my code from github.
> When using collect the type definition is not necessary, as long as the function contains enough hints to infer it.

Absolutely, rusc can also often detect the type the collect needs if you do a few simple things to the return value and then return it from a function.

Hyperinflation can happen in any society if the productive capability of the society goes to the shitters. Printing money does not trigger such a collapse though. So if anyone is scared of hyperinflation, look at how industries and services in the country do instead of at how the money supply change.

> Anyhow, I truly believe humanity has to rollback to operating at a human scale.

BYOReligion.. and Google believes that they need to increase 'engagement', increase profit, and decrease headcount.. so.. there you have it dear Sun Knudsen.

Edit: I don't care for the 'virtual currency' of 'karma'. I wonder though; the sky is blue, I point at the sky, I say "the sky is blue", and people frown (?) upon me for stating the obvious fact of life.. Or is it just Google-trolls/fanboys/fangirls that don't like the true being called out? My above comment is also applicable to any entity that automates "as much as possible" and maintains a small team to manage operations. Something tells me that their internal Finance team has "enough" staff to monitor the General Ledger. Because General Ledger is critical to their $$$$$. A 'content creator' though, is not as critical, thus gets far less attention, and <insert FAANG> will only be bothered to fix this, if said person yells loud enough. How is this fact of life being downvoted? (not me.. I don't grow taller/shorter based on the karma points) :)
I think the author just meant their scripting language is strongly typed, but they says wasm because that’s the only target for that language.

I wasn’t confused by that statement when reading the article. Obviously wasm isn’t strongly typed but obviously that’s not literally what the author meant.

The article was interesting and they clearly spent a substantial amount of time creating it.
Thanks xprillon :) Github integration is coming very soon, stay tuned!

Yes! I have just discovered this recently myself as well: whenever I wander off I context switch to something else I want to do instead of reforcing focus: multiple books, work, anki, side projects. Good so far.
Clearly in this case it depends on what was said. I can't believe people are standing up to say RMS deserves a blank check to speak for the FSF after his past comments.
This seems to be a change in taxation policy almost precision-made to push yet more young educated people abroad.

In Serbia, a country with a major brain drain problem, this is tantamount to serious self harm.
Yes it is a protest site. I know a few people who already work this way though.
That's an application specific feature. For example Firefox or Gimp implement this preview and add it to the file chooser, but most applications don't.
From what I've read about the research here, there is something around 1% of the population that regularly answers and interacts with spam calls. Obviously, there's a lower rate for which portion of those follow through and result in a transfer of money. Apparently, the cost of robocalling is less that that fraction of 1% penetration rate. Since almost every aspect of America is about money anymore, that's why we have so much robo call spam: there's enough money to be made doing it by those who do it that it's economically viable for them... so they do it, everything else be damned.

Note, this was about 6 years ago. I don't know if the current market is the same.
I've been watching this news story today and every 2 hours there was a new top-post from people:

Covid kills X. Vaccine Kills Y. Everyone is stupid.

Programmers (and I'm one of them) are very black/white thinkers. Very few people on here had said ANYTHING that the radio said today: The pause give us the opportunity to train nurses and doctors to immediately identify the blood clot and make correct recommendations based on that. Typical anti-clotting protocols make this worse. The pause helps us get this communication out.

It's all identity politics at this point. Anyone has anything bad to say about a vaccine and suddenly the anti-anti-vaxxers pop up. Now that Trump criticized the pause I'm sure there's going to be a wildly popular support for this pause.
Private schools are definitely at the core of the problem.
He never said that. I read the email chain and he never even hinted at that.
Combined with the JnJ halt this postpones Denmark's vaccine program from vaccinating all grown-ups this summer to year's end instead.
For that matter, I'm not sure that the way medical education is done is something to aspire to. Years and years of exhausting sleepless tedious grind, at the expense of any instruction on deductive thinking or bedside manner; if at the end of it all they can't even draw the Krebs cycle from memory, then what the hell is the point?
I understand. I suspect that we see things differently, and probably won't be able to find common ground.

But, the project I worked on is definitely not something to be compared to a Taylor Swift song, and I understand that this comes from a position of unfamiliarity. That's fine, but I'm happy to elucidate, offline, if you wish.
Have to say, as someone with reasonably severe inattentive-type ADHD, the hard part of this wouldn't so much be reading the book, but maintaining those documents and reviewing them weekly. The amount of half-finished lists, organisers, documents, etc I have on every cloud, note-taking and todo-list platform available that I never look at again in attempts to organise things like this is too high to count.
It’s a good point. At the device level we don’t really have the same controls as we do with email spam. Maybe a 3rd party app like RoboKiller will be able to detect that unsigned call but I have a feeling this won’t be the case.
I really dislike this sort of blog. Every article feels like it was written for their affiliates and for search engines, and rarely for the readers. It's certainly not written for people with ADHD.

Here's the only useful paragraph in the article:

> This idea came from Megan, a guest on Hal Elrod’s podcast. Megan explained she keeps track of all the books she reads in a spreadsheet. Each time she finishes a book she adds it to her spreadsheet, along with the ONE thing she is going to implement. With each new entry she reviews the list. If she isn’t implementing her ONE thing, she goes back and rereads the book.

Perhaps we read different kinds of books, but I don't see the benefit of this. I read for pleasure, without taking notes or setting objectives. I feel like those would interrupt rather than encourage reading. Good books tend to stay with you either way.

I found that a good book in a good environment is all I really need to read more. It takes 5-10 minutes before my thoughts stop buzzing around and I can focus, but once I'm in that zone, I'm good for a while.

The site you reference reeks of disingenuity, so I shall regard your arguments with a great degree of skepticism.

Which is annoying, as I am very uncomfortable with the march towards zero hour contracts and the like - if you are genuine and not just an IT contractor who is pissed off that they can't do the usual IR35 tax dodges, then you do yourself a disservice citing such a ropey website :-(
Not giving it to 65+ people seems overly cautious. There are zero cases in that group and even just a small delay will mean many dead. This is trading a potential unlikely side effect for a large number of severe Covid cases in high risk groups.

Edit: yes I'm aware they have only a dozen or so dead per week but that also translates to hundreds of severe cases, missed elective surgeries, etc. For what would most likely result in zero side effects in the elderly group.
The most constrained thing on these models seems to be RAM. The listed model all have either 512MB or 1GB RAM. Is that the limitation being cited as a problem for btrfs?

> So nonexisting best practices require a language change, apparently. It was also not showcased how this can be done in Logica.

Look for the section containing the text "As a final example, let us mock the comments table, in a unittest of a query." That demonstrates mocking and is explicitly pointing towards testing. The article is only a high-level intro document.

The way System76 is innovating is really great. In my opinion they are the only hardware company that has a good Linux strategy and the resources to implement it.

Now the last piece is getting big enough to develop custom bare-bones for their laptops. I hope they can pull that off.
I wouldn’t mind trying it, but does System 76 support dual boot with Microsoft Secure Boot? I’m also curious if it can include pinch-to-zoom; I’m old enough to find it a must-have.
The GUI never allowed you to create such an array in the first place. If a user goes out of their way to put their storage array into an unsupported configuration, I get a lot less upset when the vendor makes that harder to do.
Because we don't know enough about Monero? Unless proven otherwise, Monero is anonymous. The IRS is even paying a nice bounty of 625K (but not that much actually as per the IRS resources) for whoever can crack the protocol https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25752042#:~:text=IRS%20....

But, there is a string attached. Who knows whether a genius will not have found a solution in 6 months?

One thing is sure, if you buy some drugs with some bank notes, that's not the bank notes which will betray you. If you're into any kind of (highly) illegal activity, Monero is not bad, but bank notes are just safer.
In theory, everyone should be taxed equally.

In practice, the tax burden tends to shift to those that cannot easily escape it. Small countries like Serbia need to take into account ease of emigration, too.

That is a classic case of "is-ought". Taxation is a Darwinian system that exerts evolutionary pressure on individuals and businesses.
I think it's much less work on SpecialInterestTube. On YouTube there's a huge amount of decisions and ideas the moderator has to take into account. The other one can filter a large amount of spam with "the first 5 seconds make it clear it's not SpecialInterest".

For example comparing to HN, I can go on "New" and see "Places to Spray a Fragrance on for a Long Lasting Effect-Ajulu's Thoughts" - I know it's immediately flaggable, even if it could be a valid post on another website. (and require a full review there to check it doesn't break some specific rules)
There is only one data point on advertisers.

It doesn't matter how many eyes/ears you reach out to. You can have 5%, but if you can twist the arm of the advertisers (the ones who really keep your media company alive), to force them to advertise less on others and more to you (or cut them off completely), then you can slow & steady change the game by controlling the funding of your competition.

Yes this is a very simplistic approach, but throw enough 'junk food' out there, lower the level (gossip, reality shows)(trash tv a la Berlusconni) and presto!

Edit: I just remembered watching the movie Bombshell (2019), and if the depiction of the Murdoch family is anywhere near the truth, they are utterly disgusting (and complicit).
