Ask HN: What activities help you recharge?
Hi. When you need to get a project done, it's not possible to code 14 hours a day, as much we wish it were possible.

What activities do you do to help yourself recharge to gain as much energy for today and the next day? So you can be ready, clear-headed, and focused the next day.

Napping and going outside for a walk are common responses, but what else?

What movies and TV shows do you find helps you recharge?

Is there a particular time of music that is helpful?

Do you have any particular rituals (shower?) that help you recharge?
> the secular world has many different people

agreed and the world would be more navigable if they adopted distinct names, garb & beliefs the way the other religions did.

If you think about it, every thanksgiving debate was really a religious debate among people who didn’t clarify their membership.

Often fraudulent forensic science gets a nice PR boost, and jurors will be more willing to trust forensic evidence and expert witnesses without doubting them than they were before.

It's also PR against some of restrictions on genealogy data some governments are passing.
As aidenn0 said, this sounds like SimTower and its sequel Yoot Tower. There's a section of the manual[1] called "A Message From Yoot Saito, Creator of Sim Tower" that describes how he started creating it because he was curious about elevator programming.

This is a joke, right? If it requires a Raspberry Pi then it is not different than Kodi or wherever else that supports the same functionality. I feel like the authors here reinvented fire and then are refusing to acknowledge or admit that it has already been done.

Yeah, that's one reason I stopped doing like code-this-thing style of interviews. There's no point in contriving problems for someone, we could both be working on something useful. I think for me at least, the main attribute I look for in a candidate for a developer role is the ability-to-avoid-shitty-solutions-ness of someone. If they steer themselves from bad ideas well, the rest can be taught by presentation and practice with the rest of the team.

I've had a similar idea around measuring how many riders make calls over say the past 100 rides, and then trying to calculate how efficient it might be to deviate a few floors either direction to grab someone close-by. It's an interesting hole to climb into.

Python is like the cockroach equivalent of those shell scripting languages that came out of the late 80s to early 90s.

Perl, Ruby, PHP, TCL, and Lua have definetly declined over the years. Python's biggest asset seems to be featured rich libraries, rather than the language itself.
Many of the things in the secular world must be taken on faith (belief absent inassailable truth). Truth is difficult and unclear.
scientism isn't typically practiced by scientists themselves, but atheist types who love pop-science and "science communicators" and the like. There's a ton of tropes associated with this belief system that have nothing to do with the actual process of scientific discovery. The Big Bang Theory as a show panders to this type, with physics techno-babble and guest appearances by Stephen Hawking (RIP) and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
One of the running jokes in our company is "let's just quit our jobs, start a farm and live off the land". We have very similar issues to the ones that you describe: team dysfunction, constant staffing changes, low velocity... Which of course leads to low morale, which feeds back on itself. I actually enjoy the work but we can't seem to actually ship anything. One solution is to just head for greener pastures but I'm not sure where that exists.

> The OP was writing about a 29 year old design decision, and he wasn’t writing about a person. Design decisions don’t have feelings. I found his no holds barred clarity about something as obscure as dynamic linking namespaces made for an easier if still not easy read.

I don't think that it would've been hard to maintain the exact same level of clarity regarding the subject matter. Perhaps the read was more entertaining due to the abrasive tone, but was it actually easier to read?

Ultimately, design decisions are made by people - if someone made such a takedown of ideas of mine, I would probably be somewhat discouraged, at least as long as I know they are being sincere and not just doing a bit. I don't think people should be flinching in their criticisms of ideas, but being fair to nuance and history really would be welcome too. It's one thing to point out dysfunctions in things, but it's different to pull out a sort of Angry Video Game Nerd-esque personality and drag how horrible things are through the mud.

Maybe this post is more in jest than not and I(/we?) simply did not pick up on the tone being purely for entertainment value. But that's the thing. When people read things like this, I think a lot of people take it too seriously and start to embody this attitude, and it leads to the kind of thought processes where things are either good, or stupid/evil/whatever, with no room for things that are just "not perfect, but overall fine."

Hell, I feel kind of bad due to how unnecessarily personal my comments regarding this feel. How would the author feel reading this? The fact that I may be right doesn't matter, because I'm not some kind of uncaring asshole, and I think most people are not if they are in the right mind.

> But that said, I don’t think dynamic linking is in the ELF spec. I believe that’s a de facto OS + dev tools thing rather than an ELF spec de jure thing. His points are still valid.

Like I had said initially, I do not take any issue with the factual content of the post, and agree that most people should be using these compiler flags. And yes, it is, however many years later from when this may have not been the norm, now clearly a good idea to make all of your symbols hidden by default. No disagreements from me. I just hope that people don't walk away with the idea that some morons from the past made some horribly stupid mistakes because they just had no idea what they were doing. I wasn't there, but it doesn't feel like that's what happened at all; it feels like as things panned out some things worked out well, and some things did not work out well. Some ideas are more clearly 'bad' ideas than they were. Even today, it would probably be unwise to assume we still know 100% what we're doing. Personally, I think it's hard to ever be absolutely sure you are taking the right lessons away from things that don't work out well.
> If you believe you are not religious, it just means that you don’t have the cognitive tools to recognize the secular ideology that you have adopted.

Not all secular beliefs are ideologies. I think there are two key common factors between religious beliefs and ideologies that call themselves "secular":

First, people don't acquire the beliefs by considering and weighing evidence; they acquire them by being told them, usually at a young age, by people they trust, and making them part of their identity. That's why people are so resistant to changing such beliefs.

Second, the set of beliefs acquired in this way is not just a few isolated ones, but a whole network of beliefs that cover every aspect of life and are all asserted as justification for each other in what amounts to a logical circle. That's why it's so hard to penetrate such a belief system and get people to doubt it, even if it flies in the face of easily obtainable evidence.

Laziness in haskell is a weird issue. It makes compilation harder and it makes it much harder to predict a program’s performance, or the global performance impact of a local change (eg a change might be locally good but change to no longer evaluate so many things at once, deferring that evaluation to happen when it is more expensive—because eg the compiler can’t inline or there is no cache efficiency). Indeed Peyton Jones has said that the next haskell [family language] would be strict.

On the other hand, it allows for many programs to be written in nicer, more direct and declarative ways. As well as allowing for weirdness like in this article. But maybe a lot of that is more coming from code transformations enabled by purity and something like clojure-style lazy sequences (or strict if they are finite) plus aggressive inclining and stream fusion would be sufficient.
It's always been traceable, there's a public ledger and different data analysis techniques you can perform with varying degrees of usefulness, and Bitcoin's real value doesn't lay there.

Anonymity is not the same as pseudonymity, and while you could probably trace a few transactions with a criminal source at a time, it wouldn't take that much to thwart taint analysis by a dedicated enough author.

Besides, they were able to seize those Bitcoins due to badly stored passwords, not because any inherent weakness on Bitcoin itself. Some cybercriminals aren't that great at opsec.

Atheism also doesn't guarantee that one does recognise ideology.

OP is correct. Religion is a subset of ideology, and not being religious does not in any sense guarantee that one isn't trapped inside an ideological frame.

But OP is wrong to suggest religion is a cure for this, or even a workable substitute.

Ideological thinking is a template - a kind of psychological design pattern. It may well be innate, and can only be sidestepped by learning a different set of philosophical habits.

Collectively, we don't have that. Neither critical thinking nor science do the job. They do other useful jobs, but teaching how to avoid tribal identification among followers and competitive authoritarian individualism among leaders - the real core of all ideologies - isn't something they're designed for.
A religious person making a tautological argument!? I'm shocked!
>which floors the elevators idle at...

I recently spent 4 months in hospital which left me with an amount of time to kill in an attempt to stay sane. One of the games was trying to get places I was technically allowed but really shouldn't have been ("sod your 'no public access' signs, in not public, I'm an inpatient!"). Being confined to a wheelchair made the game a bit more difficult.
One day one of the ward staff mentioned that the building used to have a 4th floor which got mothballed years ago. None of the elevators had a button for it and trying to get up a flight of stairs wasn't an option.
After puzzling for a while, I finally realised that one of the elevators was still set to idle on the 4th floor. Get in the elevator, don't press any buttons, read a book for 10 minutes and bam - elevator returns itself to the 4th floor, opens the doors and goes ping. I wheel myself out to find I'm not just on the 4th floor, but also behind (on the inside of) the locked doors at the top of the stairs, which I counted as a double win ;)
Yes, sorry. Communication mishap indeed!! I was sort-of implying that now that I learned Qt offers USB support, one of my two reasons for not using Qt was dismantled, as if I was now worried that I made a mistake picking Electron and boy this sure sounds less and less funny as I type it out...

Bitcoin never promised to be untraceable.

It has open ledger where you can simply read source address, destination address and amount for each transaction. Thats how the tech works, anyone can look at the ledger. Intentionally and by design.
It’s spiritual, not psychological. I guess there are some connections between those two though
> If you believe you are not religious, it just means that you don’t have the cognitive tools to recognize the secular ideology that you have adopted.

I don't think that's necessarily true though. Religion is synthetic: it's practice, it's discipline and existence is rooted in how easily it can be synthesized in different communities. Man can exist without knowledge of God: that's the very premise that fueled colonialism and, to an extent, feudalism.

That's extremely disturbing but it's definitely not "one of the better wfh companies."
https://github.com/roveo/vertica-query-paste

This is a small script made to do one thing: take an SQL query from the clipboard and output a CSV file with results.

As a data analyst, part of my job was sending results of ad-hoc queries to a bunch of people on slack. The data warehouse was quite slow, so I had to:

- write a query in DataGrip (or any SQL client)

- execute it

- wait for results

- remember that there was a request for data

- save the results to CSV file (with my mouse)

- send it to the person on Slack who asked for it

With many requests per day, many of them concurrent, this was a problem.

With this tool, I just had to write a query, make sure it works, copy it to clipboard and execute:

vertica-query-paste | slackcat --channel some.person

and not worry about remembering to send it afterwards.

I also had an alias in my shell set to

vqp=vertica-query-paste | pv -l

and a bunch of shortcuts for slackcat for people that most often asked for ad-hoc query results.

It works with Vertica, but can be generalized to any DB engine that has a CLI client.

Really simple, but probably saved my many hours.

That you this illustrates that the situation today is "take whatever math-stuff you have, throw it against neural networks and see what you get". IE, I'm pretty sure not much progress has been made with category theory and neural networks - but you might be the first.

I've seen differential equations, Markov chains, differential geometry and other stuff. We might be in heady days before the "big breakthrough" is made. But these constructs might be inherently pathological (even then, non-pathological variants might be possible).
Which person is more committed to a religion: someone who goes to a sermon 1 hr / week, or someone who watches the news for 3 hours / day? The news content will contain the same ideological elements of the sermon: where you come from, what you should believe, what you should do with your life, what is right / wrong.

Was there ever a time that you could develop software for Mac or particularly iOS and distribute it without paying the developer license fee?

As I have said in my original post, that's the point it started going downhill for us developers on the macOS and ios platform; and as Apple continues to further abuse its position, it's time to say a clear no to their regressive and exploitive practices. And as I have said elsewhere too, just because a particular practice has gained ground because the exploitive business model earns somebody more profit, doesn't mean that the exploited have to continue accepting it.

And just because Windows or Unix used those models, why are they the one and only acceptable model?

They are more acceptable simply because they don't abuse and exploit the developers who provide a huge value to the platform. If you are fine with a corporate abusing their control over their platform to exploit money from you, both as a developer and a consumer, then we don't really have anything else to discuss because of our differing economic / political belief on this subject.

During Covid, I've often wished I could reprogram the elevator of the apartment building I live in. The current rule is only 2 people can be in the elevator at a time.

Problems that arise:

* Elevator stopping frequently, but already at capacity, slowing down overall performance

* Elevator always goes to bottom (or top) first to pick up passengers going up (or down). This means if your waiting on the ground floor and it's a busy time, folks at the parking levels will repeatedly get picked up before you.

Possible solutions:

* First come, first served (need to remember order of what floor pushed button when)

* Ability to set elevator as "full". Even if abused by a single person, still better than multiple wasted stops.

You seem to be describing a stereotype and not an actual person, and also that seems to be conflating it with an actual view on religious beliefs (atheism). So I can't say I know what you mean.
Let’s be honest, most people don’t have the time to weigh the evidence of say 90% of their beliefs. They go to school & watch television, and generally adopt the beliefs of their surroundings.

And believing that religious believers accept 100% of religious belief without reasoning about them is a misunderstanding.
Absolutely this. Apple's holier-than-thou approach to every settlement they reach is starting to blow back in their face, as the rest of our economy starts to realize how parasitic and destructive this tax-collection model is. Now that Apple can effectively set their own margins, they have no incentive to treat their users or developers fairly, and recently have started to bring the hammer down. I had a few friends who also maintained open source apps for iOS, and they constantly lamented how impossible it was to get Apple to review their accusation that their open-source manual app was malware.

Dropping the end of that quote completely changes the meaning it’s. "the part of theology concerned with death, judgment, and the final destiny of the soul and of humankind" It’s a separate idea from simple questions of the afterlife.

A fully-populated 128-bit storage pool would contain 2^128 blocks = 2^137 bytes = 2^140 bits; therefore the minimum mass required to hold the bits would be (2^140 bits) / (10^31 bits/kg) = 136 billion kg.

136 billion kg:

- ≈ 0.64 × mass of trash produced in the United States in one year ( ≈ 2.36×10^8 sh tn )

- ≈ 0.35 × estimated wet biomass of all humans alive ( ≈ 385 Mt )

- ≈ 1.3 × estimated dry biomass of all humans alive ( 105 Mt )

I don't have enough time to make extensive reply at this moment, but still wish to clarify a point that I trying to make here. Also I do like Qt and Qt Creator is my favorite IDE. And I wish there were less of electon apps that eating GBs of my RAM for no reason, but I also understand that our world is not perfect.

So here is the problem: open source project usually mean that it's gonna be project with just single maintainer for quite some time unless it's get like really popular. So you gonna work on C++ codebase doing everything alone with limited resources.

Qt have a lot of features, but it's still not comparable to what web stack has to offer. And if you take single external non-Qt library it's will make builds, deploy and testing so much more harder. And testing or debugging desktop software alone is huge pain in ass when it's cross platform. Running 3 different OS in VMs at least, etc.

Is Qt bad or lack something compared to Electron? No, not at all. But for 95% of open source projects C++ simply wont work. Messing with CMake, packaging and platform-specific mess most likely just gonna sink the project long before single developer manage to get it to stable, usable and user-friendly state.
> The USA is the only country where you can move to and say you're from. I can't ever move to France and call myself French. I can't move to Germany and be German, no more than I can ever move to Japan and call myself Japanese. One can however, move to the United States, and call themselves American.

Not the only country, the same is true of Australia. I mentioned in another comment the Australian politician Kristina Keneally, who was born in Nevada, grew up in Ohio, didn't move to Australia until her 20s. To me, she's an Australian. I think most Australians would probably say the same thing.
I have had similar sentiments expressed to me from immigrants who have come to the country where I'm from (Australia).

It's possible that the opportunities given to migrants relocating to any highly developed nation are equivalent. That is, not a phenomenon unique to the USA.
