First, decide what you're studying in life. If you do not do this you cannot be organized, because you will be left at the whims of any "great opportunity" or "potential threat", mostly the former when young and the latter when old, owing to inherent biases. Those things lead you into constantly chasing after an image of organization instead of a benchmark. Regardless of the potential others see in you, you can only have an edge at those things that you are inclined to continue studying, and to do so you must aim towards a benchmark for what's better. The apparent object of study may shift over time, but in general, you carry around the same principles and approaches with you and continue finding further applications of them. This much is seen in the biographies of notable figures.

Only after this can we even begin to discuss "productivity" with respect to information systems. When working with information, you generally do not need great quantities of raw material - you do not have the capacity to "think" about that. You mostly need transformative perspectives, which rarely come pre-digested(that form is teaching). A transformative perspective comes from the repeated application of those principles you study, and from some occasional introduction of chaotic influences to probe and test your ideas.

From this we can come to the conclusion that organization is primarily about filtering and exposure to the serendipitous, which begins with the life obligations that you take on. You don't want everything completely under control, since that would erase the chaos. Neither do you want to feel like there are no predictable elements to hang on to, just one emergency after the next. Either one could be described as an impoverishment.

When we talk about tools and media, that's really a matter of finding the medium you need to think in at that moment and a way to reach it. So, personal collections are a good way to start - I collect and organize according to how I want to think at that moment, versus trying to universalize. When I need to arrive at new concepts I look for ways to bind material together. The literal example that propelled me down this path was in deciding to clear out old gadget boxes last summer by putting all their leftovers in binders, using plastic dividers, pencil bags and pockets. In a loose collection the contents would get lost, but in a binder they become satisfying to browse - a dual purpose of "remove clutter" and "make space" is served by shifting around the physical dimensions and axes of the problem. This same strategy applies to other common physical organizers from bags and trays up to rooms and streets. And on a computer a light amount of hierarchy, combined with lengthy filenames to tag, helps filter, but you have to push the serendipity a little bit harder, since the computer "only does what you tell it". So I am often looking for new ways of getting that.
So many schemas are all or nearly all optional elements, so the point about typing rarely works oh in practice.
High demand for more space due to WfH and a desire for home leisure time due to lack of venues to visit, combined with low interest rates to shore up the markets. Is this really a mystery?
This looks super interesting, I'm looking forward to digging into it more.

I think the literature review article in Frontiers in Environmental Science is pretty honest at being what it is. They do literature searches and take notes on the presence and potential of a hazard. It's not a risk analysis, and it's not quantitative, and it doesn't pretend to be.

They conclude (end of Abstract):

> The prevalence of negative effects in our results underscores the need for soil organisms to be represented in any risk analysis of a pesticide that has the potential to contaminate soil, and for any significant risk to be mitigated in a way that will specifically reduce harm to soil organisms and to the many important ecosystem services they provide.

and (end of Conclusions):

> This review presents extensive evidence that pesticides pose a serious threat to soil invertebrates and the essential ecosystem services that they provide. Given the widespread and increasing adoption of seed and soil applied pesticides that pose a particular threat to soil organisms, we strongly support the inclusion of a soil health analysis in the United States pesticide risk assessment process.

And I think there is some distance from these to "Pesticides Are Killing the World’s Soils".

But I don't know how much should it concern the editors or Frontiers in Environmental Science, if same people first publish in their journal, and then go on to write something different in a popular science magazine (Scientific American)?
Because you don't know if they're "Crackpots and deluded people"...that's the claim without credence. So unfair to all those witnesses. You can't judge them, you don't have any idea. It's your personal opinion that you parade as truth, but pretend others are wrong. But not just wrong, crazy.

But that claim, yours, is crazy. Can you prove all those people wrong? Can you prove they haven't? Nooope.

"is essentially impossible all stem" -- so because you have a belief that you understand everything that's possible (An arrogant humancentric "if we haven't figured it out" it can't be done), you're going to pretend everyone that has a personal experience that contravenes your prejudgment is crazy. That's the crazy thing dudettee ... you don't see that tho right.

It's also a narrow minded viewing. You could say they worked out how to jump from far away to get here, in ways we don't understand. Possible. You could also take the more-feasible-to-you view that they are already in the solar system and can come take a look at us when they want. Also possible. But acknowledging such possibilities would rob you of the posture of saying anyone who has an experience you don't want to even try explain is crackpot and delude. You sound like the lazy and deluded crackpot nutcase for saying that anyone who has something you can't explain is crazy. I suppose pretending this must have high payoff for you. You can't just impose your priors on others and think they're true. I guess you don't yet see that.

We are looking forward to hear from you: irina@7pace.com
OK, do you have any reference for the python modules they use?
I must admit that for GUI, nice interactive plots, motion control & DAQ, it's a bit difficult to be on par with Labview.
In particular, it's usually quite easy and fast in Labview to hack together a small VI to do something like move, grab data, plot, repeat with the ability to zoom, change scale, etc while the acquisition is running.
Do you know of any example combining all or part of these functionalities?

Having empty space is considered «clean», «light», «fresh» and having less buttons (by hiding everything into some menus that you need 3 clicks to access) is called «streamlined interface».

I hate that too. On my phone that is 2.5x larger than my old Samsung I see less information on screen compared to old phone, because everything needs to be «light» and «clean».
Hack to "solve" Rootless Docker permission issues:

nsenter -U --preserve-credentials -n -m -t $(cat $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/docker.pid) /usr/bin/chown -R root:root /home/user/workspace

This one liner enters the namespace of Rootless Docker, and does the chown back to your normal user (root is your host user when you switch back).

Useful anytime you use a filesystem mount ... (Ex: storing database on disk so docker doesn't kill it every run).

You can now do backups, rebuild docker images, etc.

I think if people had a better understanding of how LoRa works they'd freak out a little less. This entire thread of comments appears to be mostly based on some substantial misconceptions around the capabilities being surfaced here.

LoRa isn't wifi, enabling LoRa doesn't create an IP attack surface, and the bandwidth is so hilariously low as to be trivial. You can exfiltrate tens to hundreds of bytes with these things.
do you have any idea why that is the case? is this culture? do germans simply not hire consultants? or is it more a problem with employment law because a consultant working fulltime is legally forced to become an employee, and companies don't want part time consultants?
I think it's better to build such systems on open standards, and to not rely on private companies to define and control the outcome.

But since Stripe is way ahead here they might end up the de-facto standard anyway.

I'd appreciate a visual example of what you are talking about. Seems like a far fetched, obscure-as-hell example to use as an argument. A strawman as they would say. CSS isn't perfect but it's pretty damn powerful for something I can teach a 9 year old.

We can certainly get a lot of work done within CSS's limits. For the auto-generated billion div soup, god speed and good luck.

These days I wouldn't be surprised if fairly large portion of XML documents that are still in use/produced did have multiple schemas. Most of the simple use cases have already moved to JSON or similar formats.

One very common case where there are multiple schemas is SAML. SAML protocol responses have their own schema, SAML assertions have their own schema, assertions usually define their type with different schema (XML schema instance) & XML signatures have their own schema. https://www.samltool.com/generic_sso_res.php for example
The fundamental moral basis of the US is that some people are born better than others.

If you have money, you're one of the chosen ones. The more money the better, without end. The losers who don't have money are not your problem. If they were as superior as you are they'd sort themselves out and have money too. But they don't, and of course that just proves how inferior they are.

It's absolutely an 18th century aristocracy with Internet.
> Google Chrome will automatically send a high-entropy [3], persistent identifier on all requests to Google properties, and this cannot be disabled (X-client-data) [2].

X-Client-Data indicates which experiment variations are active in Chrome:

Additionally, a subset of low entropy variations are included in network requests sent to Google. The combined state of these variations is non-identifying, since it is based on a 13-bit low entropy value (see above). These are transmitted using the "X-Client-Data" HTTP header, which contains a list of active variations. On Android, this header may include a limited set of external server-side experiments, which may affect the Chrome installation. This header is used to evaluate the effect on Google servers - for example, a networking change may affect YouTube video load speed or an Omnibox ranking update may result in more helpful Google Search results. -- https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html#variat...

Google doesn't use fingerprinting for ad targeting, through like with IP, UA, etc it receives the information it would need if it were going to. I don't see a way Google could demonstrate this publicly, though, except an audit (which would show that X-Client-Data is only used for the evaluation of Chrome variations.)

(Disclosure: I work on ads at Google, speaking only for myself)

I’d be interested in reading about how Depop did what dozens of other startups have tried to do: build a giant business around the used clothes market.
That's not the case. The only people being subsidised in any way, shape or form are the affordable housing people.

FTA:

> They stress that the affordable housing blocks are managed by Peabody and Optivo, which “had the option to choose which facilities they wanted to buy into for their residents”.

> Spokespeople for Peabody, Optivo and L&Q all say that it is never their intention to make any community feel excluded, and that their policies do not include access to the private amenities in order to keep the service charges to a minimum.
That was my first thought too. I'd love to get into private equity (as a client), but the requirements are insane. I don't think it's just accreditation but also an even higher net worth of $5M or something like that.
“Andrea Franzel lives in an apartment in the Chancery building of Embassy Gardens, a shared ownership block managed by the Peabody housing association.

After months of navigating dense bureaucracy, as chair of the residents’ association, he secured some funding to buy a painting for the building’s bleak communal lobby, along with a mirror and a small console table.

But, after three years, Peabody’s neighbourhood manager ruled that the table was a fire hazard, and had it removed.

“It sounds like a small thing,” said Franzel, “but that little table was part of our community. We used to buy fresh flowers and leave things for each other. Now we have nothing.” “

The face palming stories of heartless bureaucracies using excuses like this to stick it to the little guy.

The interesting thing to me is that it happens in every society. Some humans love wielding power over others.
Motiva | Senior Backend Developer (Clojure) | Nevada, USA | Remote | Full-time

I'm looking for a technical partner to run backend engineering at Motiva A.I with me. We're new enough that there are plenty green-fields to work on but mature enough that we have scalability and operational challenges to tackle. This role is great for anyone that wants to get back into the early days.
This is my 5th company built with Clojure. I've been at Motiva for 5 yrs and still love our small remote team. Join us to help take this to a next level!

With respect, the original post was only "universal basic income is such an attractive solution compared". You've now added a whole new element: "If getting a job isn't a requirement".

If not needing to live in the big city was the case, then that would indeed change the desirability of various properties across the market. This would be the case, with or without UBI. There's also no guarantee that "Oklahoma or something" would stay cheap if demand went up.

But big cities are desirable in other ways too (lots of common resources), plus UBI isn't necessarily so that people no longer need to work; If people move somewhere with cheap rent, but low business prospects, they'll get stuck in that situation, and a different kind of UBI-dependant poverty class with arise.

To TLDR this: this feels like the "Parable of the broken window" - The mechanics of the economy are too complex (and unintuitive) to be captured in a few speculative anecdotes, especially ones as drastic as "UBI making having a job unnecessary" - this is effectively the economic equivalent of a "toy project" - a toy argument so simple if fails to capture the complicated and significant side-effects that such a proposal with have; Needless to say, the road to hell is paved with good intensions, some of the most drastic socialistic changes have been disastrous.
Plenty of great answers above already. What I also think is a valid argument is that in order to appreciate the language, one has to be a seasoned developer hence many heated discussions on HN or Reddit. It reminds me of Lua, where at least one person would mention something about 1-index arrays and nil element behaviour.
"FTP" - very convenient and all. Just one thing: to me looks like when Inet dropped FTP becouse unsecure and too complicated to configure LOL camera industry instanlty picked it up...

I generally find the stresses different from employment. Income insecurity is bad when freelancing (though that's illusory - I have to annoy one person to lose my job, as opposed to annoying all my clients when freelancing). But dealing with bad management decisions is infuriating and creates a sense of powerlessness and outrage that I find really stressful to deal with. For some reason, retail therapy works to defuse some of this stress, whereas buying things only increases my freelancing income insecurity.
Are they competitive with cars/trains though. In the article linked by the sibling it says the Airlander can reach speeds of 50 knots. That is probably fine for a cruise-ship type experience, but for actually going anywhere a well designed train network seems like it would be much more effective?
>>>Honest question: what is his realistic chance to get laid with non-prostitute?

At the time, pretty high. The clubs and bars were very active, and "gaijin-hunter" Japanese women are notoriously easy. If you are halfway-attractive and at least a LITTLE charismatic, you should be able to snag a one-night stand or two, and then a girlfriend in.....6 weeks? That's assuming going out Friday/Saturday every weekend. If you aren't drinking alcohol, it's not that expensive either. If you end up with a relationship that lasts a few months or more, I consider that a pretty good ROI.

>>>How much money would it cost to pay sex worker?

Depending on service (incall/outcall) and location...$100-$300+.

>>>I also suspect that going around bars while not drinking looking for girl to have sex with might involve a lot of rejection and a lot of effort.

It does put you "not on the wavelength" of people when they are drunk, doubly so if they are kinda dumb too. You can overcome these hurdles by being attractive, and knowing the right conversational hooks to say in their native language to build rapport quickly and lazily. Building that skillset does take time, and brings other risks (PUA's call it "calibration"....in my experience, "calibrating" for Japanese women can over-fit your social skills for a small dataset, and then your Game suffers when you engage with women from different cultures).

>>>I honestly never socialized with people like that. I had always stable relationships and most my friends tended to form those too. Not everyone is for quick hookups.

90% of my wingmen have been in stable relationships. That's never stopped any of us from adding to our harems. If you have a wife, get a mistress. If you have a mistress, get a side-chick. If you have a side-chick, get a fuck-buddy. If you have all four of those, bang all of them during the week, so on the weekend you can get some head in your car in the parking lot from a new girl, who might be a suitable replacement for any of the last 3 of your regulars (I don't recommend replacing your wife with a club-rat...).

I had a roommate that kept his accountant side-chick for over 5 years, even after his wife found out. She paid his $20,000 bail when he was getting kicked out of the country, no questions asked. That said....those kind of reliable women are rarely found in bars/clubs, but if you never venture outside of your fortified American enclave because you can't consume alcohol in town, how would a guy ever find out either way?

Just like every company, they sometimes have things break, push out code that doesn't behave as expected, hit limits on various services they weren't aware of, etc.

The complexity of technical systems is massive especially when they are constantly changing. It's not helped that these companies have high availability requirements and need to be online 100% of the time even when making updates.

This is a great move from Etsy. I believe the future of fashion is high quality items being bought, resold, or rented.

I don't think this because it's better for the environment (though it is), it's because I think young consumers genuinely want to consume fashion this way. They want to be seen in higher quality clothing, and the Depop model of buy and sell is the way to attain that.
