Two tips:

Yeah, exactly. I have lots of "smart" stuff in my house, and it's almost totally controlled either with light switches or automatically. Controlling from a phone is possible, but rarely used because it's not convenient compared to pressing a button on the wall or literally doing nothing.

In my case, most of my house is Insteon switches and keypads, though most I've added in the last couple years is LED/RGB stuff (with tasmota).

There's a keypad in the kitchen, with buttons "bright", "dim" and "off" that do expected things. It takes a second to press as you walk by, and visitors figure it out in 5 seconds.

There's some automations hidden though: at night, the lights automatically turn off. If nothing is on at dusk, some automatically turn on, the exact config depending on if the home is "occupied" or not (based on motion and control presses). There's some RGB lights on top of the cabinets that pick a random color when you press the buttons. "Off" actually leaves those on (dim) before midnight, though you can double-press for actual off.

All this stuff is largely hidden, but you notice if it's missing (eg: we never come home to a dark house). To me is the point of "home automation" or "smart home" (whatever we're calling it this decade), that all the phone-based and control-from-internet stuff totally misses.

My office is one exception right now. Since the pandemic I changed the lighting to all RGBW bulbs and strips, and have a circadian program running (changes color temp and brightness slowly over the day) which is awesome. I currently control it with either the home assistant app or voice; it's ok but noticeably inconvenient compared to a switch (I just haven't got around to fixing that yet).

I definitely would not remove physical controls from the wall in each room, and if you have that, I'm not really sure what you need a floorplan view for. It looks neat, don't get me wrong, but I just don't
see the practical need.
> I also spent a little time on redirecting the addresses of [...] my old website to [...] the new one. Failing to do this would have cost me a lot in search engine rankings since all the incoming links collected over the years would be gone [...]

I was disappointing that the main reason that they valued keeping past links alive was SEO. To me the innate benefit of not breaking links and bookmarks on your readers (or future readers) should be enough.
Most Germans who understand geopolitics are very happy that American troops are stationed in the country.
So we've gone from "Spy on the users in an open-ended way that can grow ever larger" to "If it crashes, you can push a button to send us a report" and an automatic update check (not automatic download!). Both of which can be turned off. That seems reasonable.

That said, this has vaporized any trust I had in in Muse group, and it's not coming back any time soon. When big companies "acquire" high quality software or sites, the result is almost always either a. Destruction of the property in an attempt to monetize or b. They mostly forget about it and it gradually rusts away from neglect. Here's hoping Audacity is somehow an exception.
ADHD has a large negative effect on my life.

Professionally: I did very well in high school and then came very close to failing out of college. I am in my thirties and I have had many jobs. My average time on a job is less than 6 months. New jobs start well. Everything is novel and new and this drives concentration. After a while this wears off and I cannot keep on a task. I generally fall behind and feel ashamed about my performance. When this is finally noticed and I am reprimanded I quit the job. Even the gentlest reprimand feels utterly unbearable (emotional disregulation is a big part of ADHD for me.)

Socially I feel like I basically do ok. Often I blurt things out that I shouldn't but people are usually reasonably forgiving and I have good friends. I struggle with romantic relationships because after the initial novelty wears off there's often not much there.

I have to-do lists, timers, systems etc. These help but aren't a silver bullet. A list won't help you it takes you 12 hours of procrastination to complete a 5 minute task.

I have tried concerta for treatment. I couldn't really tell if it helped. Maybe, maybe not. I experience some fairly bad side effects and it is quite pricey so I decided to not continue with it after a few months.
> Our species-level measures of average brain mass, body mass, total neuron count, and cortical and pallium neuron counts were highly skewed. We therefore log-transformed these measures prior to statistical analysis.

Your comment is too incoherent for me to figure out what you're trying to say, but it sounds like you're suffering from some sort of group-selectionism combined with the naturalistic fallacy? Also projecting the naturalistic fallacy on me, which I very much do not appreciate.

Seems like that would maybe be a game of cat-and-mouse, but fundamentally these IMSI catchers have to have an identifiable signature. That is, in order to work they need to mimic an existing cell tower as much as possible, but it is exactly because of that mimicry that they can be detected over time (e.g. because the signal is coming from a different location).
The German military has issues ordering guns that shoot straight, I doubt they can project any kind of deterrence against, say, nuclear threats.
The problem is with your assumption that the decision function can be reduced to a nice, clean, closed form that a human's brain can consciously conceptualize. It might as well be a tangled mess of a thousand parameters you can't reduce any further without losing predictive power. There is no particular reason why anything should be simple.
Let's replace that phrase with past economic systems. 'The same thing happens in nature too. Feudalism isn't the cause of everything you don't like'. or how about 'The same thing happens in nature too. Slavery isn't the cause of everything you don't like'. Yet we clearly made progress getting rid of feudalism and slavery.

Mamba (https://mamba.black). It's a blockchain development framework. It's like Ruby on Rails but for smart contracts development.

The story goes like this....

I was writing a book called "Hands-on Blockchain for Python Developers" in 2018. At that time, the only Pythonic blockchain development framework which supported web3.py and Vyper (a smart contract language that has syntax similar to Python) was Populus. A week after my book was published, Populus was killed by its developer.

So I decided to create one to support Vyper language.

However, I need to tell you that there is another blockchain framework that supports Vyper and web3.py which is more popular than my framework. It's Brownie-eth. If this tool existed in the first place, I wouldn't create Mamba. But hey, such is life. Now I have to raise my child, Mamba. ;)

> There's also something else I've noticed, which is that leaders are often perceived as effective when they're leading people whom their leadership style is compatible with.

Puts the finger right on the important spot. People "get" you more if you relate to them in a familiar way.

Which means that being an effective leader requires stuffing your "but I'm an X" ideas, and adapting to the people you're leading. (Step 2 is teaching them to adapt as well - it's not about permanently disguising yourself)
It's an identity. It attracts people who have it and repels people who don't have it. With efficient communication channels around it you can eventually build homogeneity. (I'm African)

To speculatively answer your original question about why Business Insider reported the plans in US Customary units: It's an American media company. Albeit owned by a German publishing house. And the article was authored by someone out of London (where imperial units are still used commonly).

But if you check other sources on the same news (eg Chinese state media company Xinhua [1] used only metric, or the Russian state-owned RT [2] uses only metric, while the Canada-based Reuters [3] uses a bizarre mix of only-metric, only-imperial, and both) - They're all writing for their target audience. Without watching the original TV address, I couldn't say which was originally used.

ippon, nihon, and ippiki, nihiki are numbers with counter units added (different from hitori, futari). Counter units exist in English. It's common to say "I have 600 head of cattle" vs "I have 600 cattle". "600 head of cattle" is exactly the same in Japanese, "牛６００頭". The counters in Japanese are also often similar to the way we use the words in English. You don't say "I have 12 wines". You say "I have 12 bottles of wine". "12 bottles of wine" is very similar to "ワイン１２本”. I think "5 loaves of bread" also fits. You'd never say "I have 5 breads". You have to say "I have 5 loaves of bread"

I get there's a subtle difference but it's not that far off. We also say "I have 6 meters of rope". "meters" is the counting unit, which is the same concept as all the Japanese counting units.

As for the onomatopoeias, at some point you get used to them and they feel like they fit and you can start to pick them up without having them explained. Even the ones that don't seem like the make a sound, start to make a sound, at least in my mind once I've internalized it.

Not the same but in some sense similar, dogs don't say "bark" but with enough repetition many people perceive "bark" instead of the actual sound the small dog is making.
And add up all their militaries and they are still dwarfed by the US military.

This is a very good point - good you brought it up. I do care about not breaking links, though I did not mention that in the text. Actually, you can still reach my site by using the address it used even before the previous one, and there are still links on the web using that very old address, thanks to two levels of redirects.
> they knew they could make better decisions with more information.

That's an unproven assumption. More information does not lead to better decisions, it just leads to more confidence in those decisions (whether justified or not).
And he's made it clear repeatedly now that he's not actually in control of the project or empowered to make any significant decisions on it, despite what his youtube video implied. He appears to be just a glorified UI/UX contractor, albeit one with a huge youtube audience. Whoever IS in control clearly has no understanding of the community or history of Audacity, and no interest in gaining that understanding, given that he apparently had to beg them just to get them to step away from sabotaging the software within a week of buying it.

Ask HN: Those of you born with “wrong” 2D:4D ratio, has it affected you?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digit_ratio

Men and women usually have different hand proportions, index/ring finger ratio in particular (2D:4D). It's been found to be linked to prenatal testosterone levels during early parts of brain development, with low 2D:4D related to higher prenatal testosterone exposure. There are many scientific articles out there (of varying quality) showing statistical links between 2D:4D ratio and male/female behavior patterns.

This might be a little bit sensitive, but I'm going to step aside from political taboo just because I find it interesting. Here are some articles as an example:

A study where feminist women were found to have a more masculine distribution of index/ring finger ratio: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4158978/

Correlation between masculine index/ring ratio and crimes: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256466184_Criminality_and_the_2D4D_Ratio

Female rowers with more masculine 2D:4D tend to perform better: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25242253/

2D:4D ratio does not predict current levels of testosterone for adult men: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32572079/

Low 2D:4D linked to choice of judo/boxing instead of aerobics: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/journal-of-biosocial-science/article/sports-preference-and-digit-ratio-2d4d-among-female-students-in-wroclaw-poland/6AD5C8B045056C2C3AFB3291358B07F4

I thought it would be interesting to create a thread where people can share their perspectives on this. The reason is that I'm affected by it personally - I'm male with a digit ratio of 1.04. I'm not part of any of the sexual minorities, but I often feel "dyslexic" with behavior patterns related to masculinity. During childhood the timing of my growth was much earlier than what's normal for boys, and I can do the "chair challenge" without any effort.

Anyone here who has worked with studying 2D:4D, or someone who has anecdotes about yourself or someone you know?
Most interesting part is how the car "escapes" - once the support call had been initiated the remote operator should be able to turn off any self-driving capability, forcing vehicle to stay where it is until service vehicle arrives. The fact that they apparently did not implement this feature is really weird.
I built a python tool that connects to a datawarehouse or SQL scripts and produces an interactive dependency diagram as a Sankey chart, showing all objects and the data flow.

Used only on Redshift and Postgres, but it should work with other DBs with minimal changes.

The company I was working for had staging, transformation and reporting layers in their warehouses, but no nice way to illustrate the objects in documents. Support was manged offshore so the interactive diagrams helped with handover.

The redshift space is really lacking capable tools, which is why I decided to create this.
Did you count them personally or you just trust Hamas reports?

Experimental evidence to support a patent: are in silico data enough?
There are many situations where this doesn't work:

• Old games. People still want to play these, even though the developers don't maintain them, or no longer exist.

• Game engines. If there's a bug in e.g. Unity or Unreal, that means an unimaginable number of broken games. Likewise for middleware. And it's not the engines or middleware devs who pay the main cost here: all the games using them must be updated. Which may be quite difficult if e.g. the fix is only in the new engine version, but a game project is using an old engine version, and there was some backwards-compatibility break in-between.

• Competition! If one GPU vendor doesn't fix things, its competitors will, and it will lose customers because consumers (rightly) expect that any GPU runs any releases game.

• Gamedevs may not be able to quickly or easily fix a bug. Also bear in mind that in traditional game development, once the game ships, the team is wound down. There's nobody — and no budget — to maintain it.

• New hardware. Gamedevs can't test against your next-gen GPU that hasn't been released yet. If a bug only causes problems on that hardware, how do you get them to fix it and prevent it reoccurring?

> And presumably RPs in practice achieve this by subscribing to a list of key updates managed by the FIDO Alliance themselves. That seems like it puts a lot of control over the web into the hands of a group whose incentives may not be the same as those of the average web user.

I'm not aware of the FIDO Alliance doing this today. I guess anyone could create such a list, but while I think your concern is valid, it has not (yet) played out that way, so I don't think you can claim it's inevitable.

Anyway, I laid out what I believe are the reasonable alternatives. I think you're taking the position that local malware is already sufficiently powerful that it's not meaningful to restrict adding new authenticators?

I entertained this as well, and I think there's validity to it--but I do think it's reasonable for an RP to say, "If you unplug your FIDO key, the attacker is thwarted", which is not something that remains true if you allow self-signed authenticators.

> 2. Michael Abrash's Graphics Programming Black Book

I'd temper one's expectations on this one. It's a massive, unwieldy book, mostly speaking to old PC VGA graphics programming techniques, in pages taken verbatim from Abrash's previous Zen of Graphics Programming book.

It definitely isn't focused on a specific game, but it does go a bit into the BSP tree stuff used in Doom, if memory serves.

Maybe it's just because I had already read both his Zen of {Code Optimization, Graphics Programming} books, but I was rather disappointed upon acquiring and skimming the Black Book.

Fabien's deep dives are more interesting IMHO, if looking for stuff about tech in classic id games.

edit: BTW, if old [34]86/pentium-era PC optimization and VGA programming books is what you're after, the aforementioned Abrash books were goldmines at the time, and much more conveniently sized, physically speaking. I don't intend to throw shade on Abrash, it was just the Black Book that disappointed me, largely because of the high expectations set by his previous books. You can still find used copies of the Zen books readily on Amazon...
