I second this. There are workbooks for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which is a synthesis of CBT and Mindfulness. They emphasize the need to balance actual change with practicing acceptance of your situation.
This approach should resonate well for technical/methodically minded people.

My situation improved once i stopped chasing insights, blogposts and "mind-hacks" about procrastination, and focus on real, daily change. Not only reading therapy workbooks, but actually completing the exercises in them.

Since the central emotion behind procrastination seems to be anxiety for most people, i recommend getting a book, (e.g. [0]), and work on it for ~30 minutes, each day.
This alone can give a sense of accomplishment and progress, which importantly increases your Self-Efficacy.

Well, places can change. Texas, despite the Republicans best efforts to the contrary, is shifting somewhat blue (purple?) lately. Demographics and generations change...

I can't speak to the specifics of West Virginia, which I will admit seems like a "conservative" (I dispute their right to this word.) hotbed.

Yes, the answer is to "primary" such center-right Democrats.

The root of THIS particular problem, IMO, as outlined in the article we are discussing here:
Private finance of political campaigns. no limits on campaign spending. the richest one often wins.

Both John McCain (prior to his presidential run with our esteemed Alaskan Russia expert) and Howard Dean (who is currently, ironically, a major Democrat fundraiser) brought up the subject of addressing "campaign finance reform"

THAT is the idea that needs to get past Congress, IMO...
it's truly one of the few bipartisan deals left, IMO...

Promise resolution tracking for political choices could be a useful tool. With each promise tracked you could produce a percent which could be displayed with the candidates picture and a brief synopsis of their "score". The contact information and a tool to initiate communication would all be available (even if the communication is just email), and you could even have the politicians join so that they could have like an intern respond to messages or something.

This has probably been done, right?
Speed is the number 1 most reported customer feedback (from what I've read), and I share the concern. As a result they made that their no. 1 priority; they did recently make some significant improvements but I still personally find it too slow in many cases, especially since I'm trying to replace Notational Velocity, which was designed very specifically to be as fast as physically possible. Until Notion deploys native apps and further improves caching it's still going to feel slow to me :/
> So when you accuse them of being these terrible things, they resent you.

These people have been resenting everybody that isn't like them since they were forced to give up their slaves, this is just the newest thing they're resentful about. They will always be resentful towards a system that doesn't make white people top dog by virtue of skin color.

> and everyone thinks the other side is entirely responsible

This is more "both sides are the same" rhetoric that is only used to empower the fringe beliefs and extremism in the American right. The whole developed world is more or less on the same page regarding science, except the American right. That's not a political divide, that's a sign of a fringe party full of extremists.

It was impressive back when OSX debuted, but now it feels like Apple is lacking in both regards. Their shell utilities are all horribly outdated/mismatched, and their UI design took a nosedive with Big Sur. Modern MacOS reminds me of what Ubuntu felt like 10 years ago: it's a confused and scared operating system that doesn't quite know where to go from here. I mean, look at what Monterrey introduced; basically better Facetime and some new wallpapers. I'm getting the feeling that Apple has painted themselves into a corner here. They spent the past 2 decades focusing on vertical growth, only to discover that the next 50 years are going to be ruled by better interop and protocols.
Not necessarily; natural selection favors a species that reproduces, but that does not mean every member of the species must reproduce. For example, it could be favorable to have a small number of individuals who have more offspring than they can care for on their own, but whose siblings/extended family assist with raising those children (this is more or less how a wolf pack is organized). In the end what evolution is about are genetic traits, and someone who helps raise nieces/nephews/cousins is helping to propagate their own genetic material.

It sure does, and that's certainly a drawback versus a solution that's preinstalled — but if someone is going to become a webdev on a Mac, they will be unable to depend on preinstalled scripting languages and so any manner of instruction that requires a working go/node/python/ruby/perl installation will be forced to either use Homebrew or to handcraft replacements for Homebrew.

I would consider teaching students the skeletal basics of Homebrew to be a valuable pillar of their ability to perform webdev workplace duties using a Mac.

I would consider teaching students the deep details of trying to build their own python and ruby on Mac to not be a valuable pillar of their ability to perform webdev workplace duties using a Mac.

So I don't see how there's any alternative to Homebrew, not if they want to prepare their students for today's reality. "Use what's preinstalled with a Mac" is no longer a viable solution, and in my best judgement Homebrew is the minimum work necessary to get them from zero to ready. If there are alternatives that are as simple as Homebrew to have students deploy and maintain as a teacher, we'd all love to learn more about them.
Neither Macport or Homebrew work "fine", but please continue.
Ideally, the code is structured such that one can navigate it at different levels of detail, with the lower level functionality encapsulated into separate units that can be ignored if one is not interested in the details.

> My experience has been the opposite. Novice developers tend to be proud of how terse and dense their code is, and optimize for minimizing line count.

I think it's both. There's a sense of accomplishment that goes along with both accomplishing some small task with minimal code, and also for having written a somewhat large chunk of code for a project. Both have their place, as succinctness has it's place, and it's natural to look back and feel proud of a lot of work. It's just when they aren't tempered by the experience to ask whether that terseness came at a cost that wasn't worth it or whether that project is much larger than it needs to be for the task accomplished that it ends up being detrimental.
> Is anyone still working on WYSIWYG HTML editors?

Yep, I do time to time: https://html-notepad.com/ ( based on my Sciter Engine https://sciter.com )

It is almost impossible (mathematically speaking) to create reasonable WYSIWYG HTML and CSS editor.

So bad news for anyone looking for WYSIWYG editor to create meaningful web site from scratch using solely WYSIWYG.

For web site creation the only reasonable option is wizard approach - assembling site from predefined and prestyled blocks.

But, it is perfectly possible to create WYSIWYG HTML editor - editor that helps us to create and edit structured text - content portions of sites. That deals with pure HTML, styling is applied to that HTML at the point of content insertion.

> The main problem with this way of transmitting is that you are on unregulated parts of the radio spectrum.

Traditionally this is true and is still mostly true today, but a ton of WISPs picked up PAL licenses in the CBRS band and are using that. Also, as you mentioned, in practice "jamming" equipment is uncommon (and very illegal!)

Also I always recommend that folks use licensed or FCC registered links for their wireless backhaul, which limits the amount problems you'll get from interference.

> I was wondering about laser modems. It could never be jammed without some kind of expensive and conspicuous physical intervention. I would feel much more comfortable investing in that even if lasers were more expensive or a pain in the ass.

I've used some of these device (called "open air optical.") They're ok for very short range connections, but over anything more than a few hundred yards the performance of wireless is much better.

> Not that it matters. 5G is going to put all these guys out of business.

As a WISP you have the option of deploying 5G networks. It's expensive, but might be worth it. Many, many WISPs (myself included), operate fixed 4G LTE networks, and 5G is the next step. I haven't dabbled in 5G yet, but I have sales people calling me somewhat regularly ready to sell the gear. To the extent that 5G will live up to it's promises, WISPs are well positioned to take advantage of it.

I was not trying to argue against its general support, only that for this English-speaking audience (HN) there are very limited use cases.
“the less, the better”

Could mean:

1) As you said, terse clever code and agree 100%.

2) Or avoid writing factories that produce factories, abstractions upon abstractions that never get the payoff since the abstraction only gets used for a single (or a handful) of cases ever. When you write abstractions, make sure that in next 10-20 years its going to get its money's worth by taking advantage of it. There are always some exceptions but most of the time I've seen code that has no defense for all the bloat.

3) The best code is the code that you don't write. In this case "the less, the better" indeed.

So I can see multiple meanings of "less, the better". Also, my experience matches the author - new developers are mostly proud of number of lines than cleverness.
Depends on your field.
I can recommend checking out Reddit’s /r/cryptocurrency and branching out to smaller altcoint subreddits. Read the comments. There are thousands of people just looking for that one weird trick to get rich.

As a sidenote, I almost always got out just before a crash by when I was playing with altcoins by waiting for people to get over the top enthusiastic in their subreddit and then selling everything. Might as well have been luck though, so don’t try it ;)
> Then again, those 21 states contribute only 50 out of the 435 House representatives, so maybe that wouldn't matter much. Maybe it could work, if the rest 39 states went properly proportional.

Yup.

I also have no problem increasing the number of House representatives or making multi-state districts.
Well, I'm one of the brainwashed zombies then, because I'm also running several versions of Python to comply with various dependencies of projects.

We definitely do! However the rate that solar can be added is nowhere near fast enough to replace fossil fuels in a timeframe that meets our climate goals and prevents environmental catastrophe[1].

> Solar and wind power alone can’t scale up fast enough to generate the vast amounts of electricity that will be needed by midcentury, especially as we convert car engines and the like from fossil fuels to carbon-free energy sources. Even Germany’s concerted recent effort to add renewables—the most ambitious national effort so far—was nowhere near fast enough. A global increase in renewables at a rate matching Germany’s peak success would add about 0.7 trillion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity every year. That’s just over a fifth of the necessary 3.3 trillion annual target.

> To put it another way, even if the world were as enthusiastic and technically capable as Germany at the height of its renewables buildup—and neither of these is even close to true in the great majority of countries—decarbonizing the world at that rate would take nearly 150 years.

This project certainly seems to have the documentation on a higher level than what I'm used to. It's rare to see such a readable schematic with extensive comments on specific parts (FPGA programming, RF path, ...).
I'd rather see an explanation behind the issue rather than a complaint about people not working on boring stuff because a bunch of text editors can't agree on a word count.

I remember taking a typing class some 25 years ago and being told a that a word count is typically every 5 characters. That way someone doesn't pad out their word count by using lots of small words.
From the cost of testing, absolutely. By definition 5 version is 5x more testing. But since most python code is just crap thrown onto githubs and stackoverflow, who cares if it is regressed. But for devs trying to write solid, long-lived code, their cost of testing skyrockets. Python's LTS plan is not strict enough, and releases too frequent. As exhibit A, I give you their attempt at deprecating python2.
> Is it a greenhouse gas?

Certainly not in the conventional sense (although perhaps there's another way that helium might act similarly to a GHG that I'm not aware of).

Greenhouse gasses are molecules, i.e. multiple atoms bonded together. Those molecules can absorb photons of infrared light, which cause them to vibrate (as if the atoms were held together by springs). After some time, the vibration stops and an infrared photon is emitted.

The problem is: those photons are emitted in a random direction, unrelated to the photon that was absorbed. Half the time they will go roughly upwards, half the time they'll go downwards.

A photon of visible light (from the Sun) can travel down through the atmosphere without interacting much with the greenhouse gasses, since it has too much energy to be absorbed. This visible photon can be absorbed by other materials at ground level, e.g. by a plant, and its energy will eventually result in around 20 lower-energy infrared photons being emitted back up (on average).

These 20 infrared photons are readily absorbed by the greenhouse gasses, and each time they're absorbed, they get re-emitted in a random direction: half the time heading upwards again, but half the time heading back to the ground. This is how energy gets "trapped" by greenhouse gasses.

Helium is almost completely unreactive: it doesn't form molecules in the atmosphere, it just bounces around as individual atoms. Without bonds to vibrate (or asymmetries to spin), the only way it can absorb energy is by speeding up, and even this isn't very effective since its mass is so low. Fast-moving helium is also more likely to escape the Earth's gravity completely.
None of that really matters when GNU is the predominant standard, though. You could tell your boss all about how great the MacOS coreutils are, but if your program doesn't compile, you're gonna be in trouble.
And I'm sure iOS Safari will still keep annoying restrictions on using it. I 100% understand the reasoning behind not allowing sound to play unless it's "user initiated" but it's really frustrating how small that window is and/or how you can't ask for that "permission". I have a web app that uses the camera for scanning (don't get me started on how Chrome/FF/etc on iOS can't use the camera for streaming) and in Safari I want to play little beep noise (toggleable on/off) after a successful scan but that's impossible.

There's still an even better solution: Apple could start treating their operating system like a first-class programming platform, and everyone would win. But it looks like they're still dragging their feet on that one.
It still looks to me like comparing minor flaws to active state oppression and neglect. “Both sides” arguments imply some sort of equivalence which the outcomes don’t support in this case.
Yes, I agree. If there is dead time in class, like presentation is done and its do your work time and your kid gets the work done properly and still has like 10 minutes. Are they supposed to stare at a blank screen for 10mins? This is usually when in-person they would be doodling, doing something else quietly to not disturb others. If they can be disciplined about it and still do well in school then I wouldn't have a problem as a parent.
Sorry about that! I was trying to explain it so people with little understanding could see how NaNs are handled/generated in a Wasm context (for example: 0/0 will trigger a NaN), but it's true that Infinite and NaNs are not the same. I'll correct my comment :)
But would they actually win enough and consistently, to allow for a proper third party with a healthy organization to form and stay alive?
What's frustrating to me is that all of these platforms _have a store_! When I open the store, I downright _expect_ advertising; it's really helpful in that context to see featured, curated, maybe promoted stuff that I'd otherwise miss. If the ads would simply stay put, I would not mind them one bit, but it seems no platform can resist stuffing them in places that they do not belong.
Fortunately, the /r/childfree hatred seems to be mostly an online phenomenon.

All of my childless friends actually enjoy kids. I’ve only met a few people who loathe kids and don’t want to be around them, and most of them were simply young and inexperienced with the world.
Don't play stupid, the ad itself is not the issue I'm mentioning here. The issue is that the ad should both be displayed AFTER my search result, AND clearly flagged as an ad in the same way the Play Store does it. It could also be a bit less prominent than the search results.

Is the Apple community always this way? I came to love Apple products but the community is a piece of work, it's like nothing can be criticized and everything is perfect as it is.
