I remember reading about this a while back that it’s cut as in ‘to cut off from all other possibility’

Not sure many people make decisions that definitively anymore!

Priority is another one that used to be about only having on thing that is the priority, but later got diluted with words like prioritise where it’s just about having an order of importance, not one specific all encompassing purpose.
It’s just the socially accepted pseudo standard. Shorthand to avoid complexity.

Where I’m at 10am to 4pm are the core hours and the rest is flexible. Overtime can be recouped in half days or full days off if you’ve organised appropriately with the team.

My suspicion is that it’s simply easier to make disgruntled noises generally about 9-5 than actually negotiating seriously at the smaller end of the scale on behalf of you or your team.
Ask HN: How can I read faster?

Because those economists are just as clueless as everyone else. The fact that inflation targets cannot be met by central banks is considered a mystery so far.
Hmmh, I guess I misunderstood the described scam. I thought that the Google account code was for the victim's Google account, but if it was for a brand new Google account then I agree with you it's not _that_ serious. Although, if they register a Google account with my phone number and then use the account for illicit purposes and get the account banned, it's very very likely that Google will also ban my main account. So there is some real damage that is likely to come for people who fall for this scam.
Its a vast overstatement to say that "all human achievement and progress" is due to people working themselves to death.

Stuff like creative output suffers greatly if you push yourself to the limit, for instance.

It's not that simple. Young people aren't meeting each other as much anymore, and overwork is just a symptom of that I feel (people with families don't tend to put them second unless the money is needed). We need some kind of cultural shift to fix things.
Technical analysis of securities is for people who scoff at both. I've often referred to it as "numerology for smart people."
Splunk announces permanent remote work
I would add (cherry picked):

(1) try examining and playing with your beliefs. I highly recommend Sleight of Mouth, a book by Robert Dilts [0], in this area - it's 'content free' framework.

(2) ...also within the realm of mind/language, get to know 'meta model' from NLP patterning - this will work in the same direction as (1). Fifth chapter in [2] will show you the way. It's also 'content free' knowledge - meta knowledge.

(3) last, but not least... another big framework for a complete make over is to get to know a Voice Dialogue perspective. Embracing Our Selves [3] is a great and complete resource (I know, I repeat myself with this one a lot).

The changes you introduce using these perspectives will make a big, slow ripples throughout your mind. Voice Dialogue can blow your mind in an instant. All of this will help you release limitations of your mind which your mind places on itself. The path does not end and the journey is fascinating.

> , that's not a benchmark for a conclusion on how successful a potential integration into the core language might be

That's fair.

I'm also biased by the fact I really like to know when my code is suddenly going into async territory.

I like the JS model for this: it's explicit enough that there is little surprise (promises are now a standard, so if something returns a promise, it's async), but implicit enough that I don't have to care (no loop to setup, no coroutine instantiation between calling and scheduling). And it aged well: future can now just be awaited, and you can simply keep the callback api in non async function.

gevent is too implicit to my taste I guess. Now you could argue that we could make gevent calls explicit, but then it would be not that much different from asyncio.

I would really be happy if the community would settle in something like:

@autorun
async def coro(): ...

Then:

coro() # this calls create_task(), and binds it to the upper nursery

I think it would strike the right balance from a usability point of vue.

As for the interoperability issue, it's a pretty though nuts to crack.

That is already covered in any standard rent agreement in Europe. If you are the tenant you can't sub-rent it, it makes no sense.

90% is not that high for an uncontroversial change that practically everyone wants.
Cash is absolutely used as an investment scheme, by forex traders, by people in other countries to hedge against the weakening of their currencies, by foreign governments and banks. This is encouraged by the US deliberately as an effect of the petrodollar.

Nominal terms amount to how much of your investment in dollars you lost (or gained) while holding dollars, in real terms. Real terms are all that matter.

Cryptocurrencies are also used to trade for other stuff, as is their stated purpose.

They both have the same characteristic that makes one a pyramid scheme, but somehow not the other. They're fundamentally similar assets, but for some reason one is given a special category carved out specifically for it that actually does not exist. When you take away this special status that is only ascribed to fiat currency to differentiate it for the sake of discussions like this, they're interchangeable assets that share all fundamental characteristics. All fiat currencies are speculative assets.
Couldn't one argue, that in some situations coordination via previously agreed upon criteria is worth more than which one of two decisions is made?

If A and B agree upon, that B will know what A is doing in either case of discovery, then B needs only to look at their observation and will know what A's observation is (the opposite). Then B can know how A will act, because A decides what to do based on what they observe. Then B can act in a coordinated way. Even though it is only a roll of a die, it can still be helpful.

For Sci-Fi example: Some alien spaceship fleet (bare with me!) wants to attack another civilization from 2 sides across wast distances. They split up waaay before that and each keeps an entangled particle. They agree upon which observation means what detail in the first fleet's attack plan. Depending on that, the second fleet will act differently on the other side. But the first fleet only decide which of the 2 strategies to use, when they are already split up, based on the observation of the entangled particle. The second fleet has to act accordingly, or the strategy will fail.

Is this impossible? Or is this simply not seen as useful information in some specific definition?

I don't watch TV, and read for at least an hour per day.

I've been reading a lot since I was very, very young, and have gotten better at it. To be fair, I do have to stop myself from skimming, which is fine with most books but definitely not Malazan.

And also, I probably forget most of it after I finish it, until I read it again.
Not applicable. You are conflating a bottom-up problem with a top-down problem.

The labor struggle is one that is fought bottom-up. Unless we stand united, the bosses hold all the cards. A single worker has no power to fix their companies culture, but a united workforce does. This is not applicable to the tall poppy syndrome at all.

In fact if you want to find a silly analogy, call it the weak link problem. An almost united workforce will get exploited through the few that aren’t.
Maybe I'm naive, but this seems to be in a similar class of problem to Linux's support for physical peripherals, and the answer seems to be the same: drivers that convert from a mess of different interfaces into a standard interface one layer up.

And like driver development, it can be done by pretty much anyone. Doesn't have to be the low-budget data providers, nor does it all have to be done by one group, as long as the various groups doing the work can agree on a standard interface.
This is why “it’s just like cash but better, and humanity has been using cash for centuries” is not a valid argument for adoption of cryptocurrencies. Cash has fundamental scale-limiting properties; cash without those properties is a qualitatively different beast for which there’s no precedent in humanity’s history. The above argument actively conceals the sheer scope of unknown unknowns.

Magnesium has an important role in the chemistry and development of neurons, and it is very common for people to have a shortage of it:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31336935/

In my case taking magnesium helps with insomnia and ADHD symptoms (although it's impossible to tell if the ADHD improved directly due the magnesium, or due to better sleep)
I see the same thing. Granted as an individual contributor I'm only privy to a small fraction of meetings, so it may be not be representative. But they usually start with higher-ups arriving late, groaning about back-to-back meetings, and if we manage to settle the matter before the allotted time, they usually pad the rest of the session with more speculative discussions not on the agenda, ensuring it will be back-to-back with the next one as well.

Who would be afraid of having to sit and twiddle their thumbs for half an hour waiting for the next meeting, if not someone desperate to uphold an image of being an over-worker?

Interesting you were coding at 5, I have 7 and 5 year olds who are pretty good with computers, can install and learn new games by themselves but I haven't considered introducing them to programming mainly because I don't feel they can manage and also it does not seem necessary...considering I personally started coding at the age of 20 when I joined university for my computer science degree and I have been fairly successful, currently working for a US company, remotely from Africa and making more than a US average developer salary which in my city puts me at top 0.1% salary range, and with a quite positive career outlook.
I'm honestly tired of waiting for the government to decide to do fiscal stimulus. The US is lucky that they got a competent president. In the EU you're never going to see stimulus checks.
That's not true in my experience. I also participated in such an "experiment" and I'm normally the one with more endurance and speed, able to do overtime, or work on personal projects after hours.

In my experience, with daily pairing, both workers felt completely drained of energy after 4 hours (including pauses).

Pairing a couple hours a day, or a couple times a week is alright, and very productive. Doing it 5 days a week is borderline inhumane.
I sometimes coach new teams on pair programming and XP, so wrote this short article explaining how it works in practice, using snakes:

What did I do with my spare time as a programmer?
In my anecdotal experience, arriving at work around 7 or earlier and leaving before 16:00 is absolutely not a problem. Arriving around 10 is also possible for those who prefer starting late.
People try to group the important meetings in the middle of the day to accommodate everyone. Working overtime when needed happens but those hours can be grouped to take a few days off.
I don't know if it is generalized but it's the case in the two companies I worked for in Germany.
Why JavaScript is a toy language (2010)
Six-day work week was standard like, what, 100 years ago? Now it just seems savage. And so will the five-day work week.

I had the luck of getting a four month severance when a company closed, full salary, full benefits. I lined up a new job and just said I will start later.

Let me tell you, going back into a tech job, 10 to 6-ish PM every day was no joke, after three months of not giving a fuck. It was torture. I could not understand how I did it until then. And there was that painful realization of "what am I doing here for eight hours a day? I am clearly not using all of it. Give me four hours and I will do the same amount of work and go live my life".

And that's when I knew that I am not going to be the guy on his deathbed, realizing that he worked too hard and didn't live, after winning the cosmic lottery of being born on such a rare place as planet Earth.
Take a walk through Hyde Park or Green Park round about now and you’ll smell intense, sweet aromas signifying spring turning into summer: sweet chestnuts, lime trees and hawthorns.
This hits home, I'm pushing 40 and I can hardly walk at the moment, probably because I was barefoot at home, on a hard floor, doing about 2500 steps a day (to the coffee machine and back). Before lock down I easily did 12000 on shoes... Then one day lock down ends and I go boxing, boom, over-strained feet. Now everything starts to ache because I haven't been able to move normally for months now. The animal requires maintenance, love, attention. So different from 20 years ago when it was always there when I needed it, always with 0 issues even if I skipped a night and went to work a full day after. I regret not caring for it better.

Regarding the feet: They think I wore down my fat pads, but only after I recently got x-rays and ultrasound investigations. Before that I was treated (treated is a big word for a bit of stretching and pain killers) as if I had plantar fasciosis.
> I wonder if it would possible to find a balance of doing shorter days / working fewer days, and offsetting that by being more productive in the hours that you do work.

It might be possible, but it definitely would not be acceptable!
So what you are saying is people who made a bad decision should be cut out from society?

Do you think these people will then magically disappear?

Or would they instead be forced into more desperate circumstances where it is even harder for them to act in a way which benefits society?

Look, of course we need consequences for bad decisions. However, and more importantly, we also need a path to redemption.
I'm not the person you asked, but the most important part isn't the dosage, it's the form.

Basically, make sure the magnesium tablet is anything but magnesium oxide - our digestive systems cannot absorb that. Just about any other form (there's like... six of them) will work. Magnesium oxide only helps with constipation, which is also important I guess but a completely different problem.
Sort of...

But Chrome has much better JS engine - V8.
Because you don’t really need the full personality profile show when you are interviewing people who aren’t going to be managers.

It’s not an insignificant amount of resources you put into the process. Not only do you take up HR resources, the team that is helping you recruit is also going to need to spend time going over the results with HR and the candidate.

In my optics that is an unnecessary waste of resources. Not only doesn’t the process really show you anything team-related, you should frankly be capable of judging people from the conversations you have with them just as well.

The in-depth personality stuff only gets relevant when the people you hire have to manage other people.

Right. I find it very troubling (in a general sense; I don't doubt that there are technical grounds) though, that browsing in incognito/private mode is a flagged behavior.

Given its origins can we add it to the naughty words lists? We ban master and slave, so it would make sense to also ban decision makers (murderers?).
Agreed. I think pairing basically amplifies the team chemistry, for better or worse. If you have down-to-earth developers who like to learn and teach and generally get along, pairing will be amazing, but if you have know-it-all devs desperate to be right and show how smart they are, it’s a disaster. I paired for a year in the latter environment and it was miserable.
Pair Programming and Snakes
I can only pair effectively if I feel fully comfortable with the person I'm pairing with, and I would not feel uncomfortable disclosing who meets or does not meet that criteria at work.

Software engineers tend to be less comfortable socially so I imagine other people share this perspective.
This thread is about cognitive ability not mortality though. I definitely know people who function fine on 6 hours sleep, but I will become a zombie if I only get this much sleep over a period of say a couple of weeks (at least if I'm doing mental work, if I'm mostly doing physical things with my day this can different).

I need at least 8 and preferably 10 hours of sleep (as an average).
The one's on Titan.
Try avoiding distractions. I find that on days I go without the internet (other than for work) I become significantly less motivated and work is way harder to start. Not sure if that's even your problem but if it is then I hope this helps.
I’m sorry, I meant no disrespect. If I made you feel patronized it must be because of my bad writing skills. All I wanted was for you—and workers like you—to realize that your work is worth more then to give it away for free to your bosses. I don’t do this out of the goodness of my heart, but for our solidarity as a fellow worker.

You see the more workers that do work for free the less value all our work is. And hundreds of years of labor struggle will all be for nought.
Quite a bluff to pull: saying your starting early when you don't, when it's so easy to fall through. Does this actually happen?
> - the coroutine based design means we have a standard api for async, no matter the backend or implementation. Which means solution like trio were able to emerge, and eventually the core dev are now considering including trio-like scoping in the next asyncio iteration.

The structured API for concurrency that Trio provides, in principle, doesn't depend on the said keyword-based approach - it's just what the author chose to use for the implementation. It's definitely not something that asyncio enabled for its users that wasn't possible without it. Here's another structured API for concurrency that doesn't depend on keywords [1]. It can be implemented with gevent.

> HR never test anyone. They handle the proces.

Maybe we have different ways of defining things, or maybe my English isn’t good enough to convey the meaning.

But isn’t HR handling the process of personality testing, HR testing people? When we utilise personality testing, a HR consultant actually tests the candidates. It’s their test, they spend millions developing it and you have to be certified to perform it.
This is the case for any sharp filter. It is not unique to the FFT approach. It doesn't matter if you use a linear phase FIR; any time you "remove" frequencies you can increase your peak levels. Try graphing sin(x) + 0.2sin(3x) and then try removing/filtering out the 3x component.

It's even true for reconstruction. A digital waveform can represent peak levels far above "digital peak", in between samples.

This is why if you're mastering songs, you'd better keep your peak levels at -0.5dB or -1dB so (so the filtering from lossy compression won't make it clip), and why you'd better use an oversampling limiter. Especially if you're doing loudness war style brutal limiting, because that's the stuff that really creates inter sample peaks. But you shouldn't be doing that, because Spotify and YouTube will just turn your song down to -14 LUFS anyway and all you'll have accomplished is making it sound shitty :-)
