My thought exactly. I’m fine with a repetitive diet but some fiber would be welcome.
Stop and listen but also discover new things. There's only so much time and too much spent on one or the other seems sad.
In a way, I got just as frustrated (well maybe not _as_ frustrated) as playing hatetris, because I couldn't easily make 4 line combos. That is, until I managed to set up endless straight pieces and stack the rest of the board save that one slot.
We focused on the desktop because it is difficult to use from mobile due to it being an online IDE. I'll take a look, thank you for reporting.
Bad design is endemic. Just because other people made the same mistake as you doesn’t mean it’s the only option.

Think about it. They’re sending you data. You’re processing that data. If you don’t delete that data then it’s going to persist especially if you don’t do anything about it. Here’s a suggestion - do something about it! Clear unnecessary data immediately after it’s not needed so you don’t have to rely on python/django’s crappy garbage collection.
They also make a big use of court ordered "volunteers". They might be a non profit but their regional directors are pulling in large salaries off an operation that runs essentially on free inventory and below market labor.

In 2015 or so, I was really surprised to hear that the Australian Stock Exchange was going full-steam ahead with a blockchain-based settlement platform. From memory, they were targeting 2020 or so for a full rollout.

Just checked and this has now been pushed back to 2023.

I know that there's been a lot of improvement since then, but once you reach a certain size, things just move very slowly. It's less about the tech, and more about the pace at which stakeholders get on board.
That's a good point about the critical path - I was thinking it would be a bit bigger and slower since you'd have to decode it, but I hadn't realized what an impact that would probably have. No bit-perfect round trips is also absolutely horrifying and I would never have even thought that would be a thing.

>Compiler writers and tool authors are perfectly comfortable working with binary file formats. There's nothing more inherently future-compatible about JSON than a forward-compatible binary format like flatbuffers. Having to escape and then unescape naughty bytes is a huge downside for text-based formats that are hardly ever read by humans.

Well, the problem isn't binary or non-binary, the problem is that these formats like ELF are, apparently, really annoying to deal with, have weird limitations, and are difficult to extend. The reason I thought of JSON in particular is because it doesn't really need to be extended to encode anything (unless you include escaping or base64 encoding binary data you want to put inside of a JSON document as "extending" it). You can encode all of the fields in ELF (or any other format) inside of JSON, while it doesn't make sense to consider the converse because ELF has fixed fields with fixed meanings.

That's the problem with these bespoke binary formats like ELF - they're not designed to encode arbitrary schemas of data, they're designed for very specific tasks and then when they get used outside of their intended environment, we get problems like have been described in this thread. Nobody has ever had these problems with a JSON document - maybe with something that consumed one, but the file format itself simply does not have the same kind of limitations like ELF does. It has different limitations, but they're not of a fundamental and semantic nature like they are in a more rigid format.

You're right that it would be a problem to have to escape/unescape every section every time you wanted to run something because that's very slow, but I think that's basically the only problem that these bespoke binary formats solve. If that's the case, I wonder why something like Matroska wouldn't work for binaries? My understanding is that it's basically binary XML and allows for basically a completely arbitrary dictionary structure. It doesn't have nice tooling like JSON or XML do, but there's no weird restrictions on things like field length that I'm aware of. I guess it doesn't exactly have any "momentum", though, but maybe the NixOS people will get sick enough of ELF to consider such a drastic solution :P

> never abandon a book you have chosen without working all the way through it

Extremely bad idea, and I learned it the hard way. A lot (most?) textbooks have more details than you need to know. It's better to find out the most important material in the book, focus on that first, and then go to the next tier of important material in the book, and so on. At some level (perhaps after the first), feel free to try other books without completing the current one.

Unfortunately, it's not easier to know which material in the textbook is important and which are merely detailed examples on your own. You need someone with mastery to tell you that.

> If you face difficulties, do not give up but instead go back twenty times if that should prove necessary and only then allow yourself to investigate another mathematician's solution

Partially agree. Pick an N that is large enough, but not too large. Another mistake I would make is refusing to move on until I've solved the problem. A more practical approach is to give it N times over M hours/days, and then move on and/or look up the solution. You'll learn more this way.
I love you for this comment. I'm just picturing those that don't know the meme reading this.

Which is why ketogenic diets are so effective against such "diseases of overstimulation", ketone bodies have a stabilizing effect and gaba/glutamate balance normalizes. My personal conviction is the ketotic state is the default state for humans, in part given this stark contrast
That’s not what he saying either. He’s saying that cuckoos don’t care if you watch them, because the sounds they make aren’t for those people who pass by. The cuckoos are for cuckoos and he is a sad one indeed.
> The author mentioned his uncle who just ate bread, butter, and cheese for every meal, and I’m not sure how you can even survive off of that. Surely it’s lacking something important with no fruit or vegetables.

The only thing you're really missing there is dietary fiber, which -- being indigestible -- doesn't have nutritional value. However, it does interact with your intestines as it passes through them in a manner which tends to promote their health.

So no, survival is not even a question that should come up.
That is not what this is about. That's an old demo, using only the documented features of the LCD. As far as I can tell ~everything on there is done using the standard charset and the 8 customizable characters.

There is no demo for what this article talks about; it kind of ends in a cliffhanger and it seems the author hasn't quite gotten to the implementation stage yet.
I'll add, I don't think we should be developing new housing on any of our wild lands. Not our beaches, not our mountain passes, not our forests or wetlands or grasslands, and certainly not Muir Woods.

What I'm calling for is to allow the owners of existing single-family houses in urban and suburban job- and transit-centric neighborhoods to voluntarily tear them down and, if they choose, replace them with multifamily housing of, say, four stories.
The term "abjad" was introduced in 1990.

Phoenician is the ancestor of all alphabets, and does, in fact, begin "alef bet".

Whether you consider abjads a type of alphabet or a completely different thing is a matter of taste, but the genealogy is quite clear.
Taking caffeine and sugar for a migraine is like taking cocaine for a tooth infection.
I also worked at Facebook, and I agree with the other posters that 996 was not the norm or anywhere near it. My desk area would be deserted at 5:30. Most weekends 0% of people worked, occasionally you’d get an email Sunday night from someone.
I mostly work at desk. I feel really good whole day if I had sweat in the morning even while working with PHP (cycling for a couple of hours). I was wondering if sweating at the job has something to do with the satisfaction.
I try and imagine the state before the Sacramento, Feather, American, and San Joaquin rivers were dammed, and before 95% of the salmon runs were destroyed.

With judicious planning, we could probably restore much of the original (aboriginal) ecosystems by 2200 or so, but I don’t see how we could do that with more than a few million people.

Kids, get on it :-)
> I’ve never had Chinese, Indian, French food. Why change? I’ve already found the food I love.

Jeeeeeeeeezus. That's some pathological parochialism right there.

Try some new things, you might find some new things that you love that you didn't know you loved.

You're rejecting Chinese food.
You're rejecting Indian food.
You're rejecting French food.

And you're expecting anyone to take your opinion seriously?

> Did San Francisco stop making jobs in 2000? Because its population growth has been flatlined or declining since then [1]. The numbers don't support the argument that jobs alone are enough of an incentive for people to move to San Francisco.

No, it has nothing to do with job growth. San Francisco and Daly City have tried to block as much new housing as possible, so everyone simply spills out into the rest of the Bay Area. Neighboring Daly City [1] gained 3k people out of 103k, so ~3% increase but looking southward, South San Francisco [2] went from 60.6k to 68.1k people, a 12.4% increase. Further down in the Peninsula, Redwood City [3] went from 75.4 to 76.4k people, an increase of 13.3%. San Mateo [4] went from 92.5k to 104.4k people, a 12.9% increase. A bit more South, Mountain View [5] went from 70.7k to a peak of 83.2k, growth of 17.68%. Palo Alto [6] went from 58.6k to 67k people, a 14.3% increase. And finally, San Jose [7] went from 894.9k people to 1M people, an increase of 11.74%. Most cities in the Bay Area have seen tremendous growth in the last 20 years, it's just that San Francisco and Daly City continue to block new housing being built.

Moreover I really don't think jobs will get much more decentralized in the future. Post-COVID, some businesses probably will distribute themselves more, but not enough to have an effect. I only see urbanization increasing in the long term in the US. Clinging to our SFH only model of development is just short-sighted thinking based on our population growth alone, let alone environmental targets that we will need to hit to avert climate change disasters.

My intention in dealing with planar networks is mostly the case of deploying a local mesh network. Most mesh networks behave like planar graphs. Not sure if this is an actual use case for matrix though.
All variants support 8 custom characters at least. I don't know if some nonstandard clones can do more.

The 4x20 displays do not use two controllers. They are just a single controller configured for 2x40 mode, except the display is laid out differently. Logically, the rows are ordered 0, 2, 1, 3 on those, for this reason, and horizontal scroll is funny.
That was probably because of electrolytes. Magnesium supplementation would have been a good idea, and still is.

Why is owning a house so important that people would move away from family to another state? Seems like there would be more important reasons.

Also, professorships are notoriously difficult to obtain and many professors move to far away rural and otherwise undesirable locations for that “privelege”. I’ve known several distinguished professor couples (not in CA) that live separately to pursue their careers … think twice before taking that route.
That demo does not use any of the techniques described in this article. Everything in that demo is done using character mode, the standard charset, and the 8 customizable characters. If you look closely you'll see there are never more than 8 or so distinct nonstandard character glyphs on screen.

Yeah. Everyone in my country uses WhatsApp. There's nothing I can do about it so I've made peace with it. At least it has end-to-end encryption. It's even proven its effectiveness against my government's justice system.
Ask HN: Are there any newsites like HN for business
Yeah absolutely, that's kind of what I'm talking about. Though even then, managing different contract durations across many different companies for many different bills each month is annoying, and there are companies that can do that part for you as well. Haven't ever tried it, nor checked the cost, but it sounds like something that might be beneficial to not worry about. They can send me a summary each month to make sure I'm not spending too much.

The index fund investing with scheduled transfers is exactly what I meant by automated financial services. I probably micro-manage it a little too much right now for no real benefit.

I think there's a middle ground - as a Korean speaker, it's pretty easy to find linguistic purists lecturing everyone, and also cringey writers making sentences entirely out of English words barely strung together by Korean suffixes.

In the end, I believe we should consider each word separately. If a loanword is used by select few, they only hinder communication. (In the worst case, imagine a legal document that's inscrutable to most people.) On the other hand, if a loanword is already understood by everyone, there's no point in removing it: trying to removing it will in fact make communication harder.
I tried eating a particular dish every day for a while. (To the exclusion of other foods.) I didn't get tired of it -- I loved it and still do. But I had to stop because, after a while of this, I would still be hungry after eating a large meal. My stomach would be physically full, but I'd be hungry anyway.

I'm still not sure what the problem was. It was a dish basically consisting of lentils, onions, and shredded chicken, spiced heavily; I'd eat it spread over bread.
> Why use X and Y when you could carSpeed and carAcceleration? (...) People can't relate at all to math when all the examples use generic terms without context.

Couldn't disagree more.

The whole point is that you don't care about the meaning of the numbers. They are just numbers. A big part of math is learning to strip numbers of their context and look at them bare.

Besides, variables with several letters in them are extremely ugly. They look like products. (They should be banished from programming languages also, but I realize that this is a controversial idea.)
as someone who has an ocd need to get the 4 line tetris clear this triggers me
When growing up, I struggled with math. Part because my ADD made it incredibly hard to read books from start to finish, part because I had very little interest in STEM classes, and part because we had a math teacher that would focus all his energy on the top students. If you struggled with something, and he didn't deem you worthy, he'd simply direct you to the book "read the book".

It wasn't until undergrad that we had this fantastic calculus lecturer - everything just made sense. He started at the very, very beginning; adding together numbers, and worked his way up to pre-calc, in around 2 weeks. He never skipped any steps, and was very good at explaining the implications of various proofs, and pointing out the typical / common errors and fallacies made by students.

Of course, if you had a good grasp of math leading up to calculus 1, this was all boring and old news. No big deal, those students would skip classes, it was after all in the very beginning of the semester. But for me, it was simply life changing.

And parallel to that, people started posting vids and websites explaining math. I suddenly had multiple different sources of people trying to explain math their way - which also turned out to be invaluable. Suddenly this guy Salman Khan started posting vids on youtube, and I discovered Pauls Math notes.

Well, the rest is history for me - I graduated with good grades in all math courses, and a love for math.

If anything, it thought me that there's no single way of teaching math. Again, when I grew up, it was one book and one teacher.
I think it's also fallacious to treat a VC firm's interests as synonymous to its cofounder's interests on an individual level.
Very nice!

My initial reaction is: it's not giving me the piece I want. It's trying to force you to clear individual lines as soon as it is possible to do so. But in real Tetris, you want to clear four lines at a time to get double score, which may mean withholding a line clear when you could have done one.

Consider this replay:
హටເח௨ඞܗТۑටܢݹ௫੬ຽߢ௧ලບঅযلЈǶ

It ends by giving me nothing but S pieces, because it wants me to take the single line clear. It won't stop giving S pieces until I do so. In actuality, any other piece would be preferable; there are available spots for all of them, and I can build up to a Tetris. But with the S piece, my only options are to sacrifice the Tetris for the single line clear, or create a hole in my stack.
uhhh see #1
Also in the UK and I've just opted to flat-out refuse to use WhatsApp. I think a lot of people want to stop using WhatsApp but are afraid to do so because of the imagined repercussions or a fear of missing out. I say to hell with that and I've found that, since there are, in fact, plenty of alternatives that work, people who need to communicate with me are able to do so perfectly well. A few non-tech oriented contacts have even installed Signal as a result of my stubbornness, including my landlord funnily enough.
I guess one answer is just that we never tried, and the kernel was stable enough during the time that we were releasing our distribution that I think we only needed a total of one patch from Rusty and/or from Klaus Knopper. Presumably it would (just) have needed someone to be willing to maintain it in the kernel at the time.

One element of this is that cloop was, quite literally, a quick hack (I think Rusty wrote the original version in a single day), which then worked incredibly well for our use case.

Sorry about that.
The root cause is people are bad at projecting the future. Defined benefit pensions are projecting economic conditions decades into the future, and they’re simply not true (at least not until the government juiced the numbers to offset the anemic growth due to outsourcing and automation). But then that’s just inflating away one’s debts, and the recipient is still screwed.

The second problem with defined benefit pensions is agency risk. Anytime you have a big pot of money, it invites corruption, and in the case of DB pensions it’s very easy for people in power today to tilt the scales towards themselves at the expense of those decades behind them. And so they do, by voting themselves lavish benefits, voting for politicians to enhance benefits, voting to hire the actuary that understated the costs, etc (that stuff is more so in taxpayer funded DB pension land).

For multi employer defined benefit pensions, the simple matter is US economic growth in their businesses didn’t pan out. A lot of businesses contributing to the funds consolidated, got automated away, outsourced to cheaper countries, etc, and so a lot of the assumptions in there don’t hold true and so they come up short.

But keep in mind, every time the government bails someone out, you pay little by little by your USD being worth less and less.
You wouldn't want it. The Bidenbucks you get in a crisis would be the expiring money. It would force you to go spend it on food to keep your local restaurants alive, or replace your phone to keep the factories running, etc.

Instead we all got $1200 and pumped it into Doge, some EV SPAC, or similar speculative "investments".
No, it's nothing like that. I was referring to this...

> people frantically trying to experience "new" things as an effort to quiet the constant agitation of their souls

...and pointing out that there are different kinds of, I guess, opportunistic openness. One is the normal, well-adjusted kind where you say sure, let's try some Chinese food or hey, I've never been to Wales, should we go to Cardiff this weekend? It's the Michael Palin version.

The other, darker one - the one I had and which the grandparent was referring to - is the kind where you're constantly looking for the next thing or place or whatever that will make you feel content with life. It's not about experience for experience's sake, it's about trying to find something, anything, that will soothe your soul. This is the Anthony Bourdain version.

It's not that I wouldn't want to go to Wales or meet the farmer; I would, of course. The difference is in the motivation and the satisfaction I would derive from it.
