Same here. I started getting gray hairs in the beginning of last year. Then the company switched to fully remote and I no longer have them.
I am still stressed from time to time, but nothing like I was when I had to commute, worry about how I look, whether I make it on time, what I am going to eat, where, will I get space at the cafe, will I get the seat at hot desking space, how do I up my small talk game, oh no another awkward silence in the lift, then trying to focus on code while hearing sudden laughs piercing my ears as the lads from marketing are discussing how their evening went and who they "scored". It's was a nightmare.
At home, I can even put noise cancelling headphones, for that extra pure silent bliss.
I can't find a really important detail on the website or github - and haven't been able to easily find it - how is the underlying data stored?

It looks like it might be a custom format, which might make sense for the project, but is unfortunate for a broader accessible knowledge-base and programmable integration - plain text allows you "grep", sqlite allows you SQL.

The discussion of this being an org-mode mindset kind of GUI definitely appeals to me. The arbitrary hierarchy of data/knowledge in org-mode works really well for me. I tried a bunch of note-taking apps until org-mode, and it was the second one that just "worked" for me (Trilium Notes and Obsidian were the previous best options for different reasons).

But... I'm an Emacs convert just for the purposes of org-mode, and I'm finding a lot of Emacs specific quirks and issues that I don't really want to spend time fixing - but customizing until the quirks are your own preferred quirks seems to be the entire culture of Emacs.

No you don't? Probably most countries have health ministries which lead the fight against the pandemic, usually via some proxy ( like head epidemiologist, or a person appointed specifically for that task). The guidance they and the WHO gave is the expert guidance, and at least the latter was given in a very digestible format for the general public.

As a thought experiment I have wondered before what I would do if I suspected the government might want to suicide me.

It's depressing to think that I'd have to have perfect mental health and the appearance of perfect mental health to arise suspicion otherwise my suicide would be written off. This is, of course, literally impossible.

Even assuming I did, almost anything bad that happened to me prior to the murder (losing a loved one, going to prison, being unable to go home, being arrested, stories of how you mistreated your cat) could be used to push for the idea of it being a suicide on mental health grounds. If Snowden were offed tomorrow, for example, there would be a veritable chorus of believed people declaring him mentally unwell whether or not there was any clinical evidence for it.

Any additional "craziness" from my past (& most people have some) adds fuel to the fire. Any evidence that you considered suicide in the past then you're practically a write off.

The fact that even foreshadowing it by saying "I would never commit suicide" would be used as evidence that I'm crazy (because "normal" people don't do that) is truly depressing. I thought this would work but it appears it's too easily dismissed as somethihg only a kook would do because Occam's razor.

Assuming the other evidence can be dealt with quietly (videotape, autopsy, etc), state sanctioned murder of dissidents and whistleblowers this way seems fairly easy. Moreover, if you're a whistleblower or dissident with real mental health issues or god forbid have attempted it before a staged suicide is a very logical way of dealing with you. The public is primed to write it off without a second thought.

There are plenty of great reasons why author's in reputable publications should (and shouldn't) be identified. I frequently track threads by journalist in order to understand bias.

For instance, when I see scathing articles about Bernie Sanders being America's greatest enemy appear across ostensibly venerated and elite publications, I can look up an author's catalog of published work and discover that they are eg- an old money heiress and New England socialite with deeply vested interest in not reforming or regulating causes of wealth inequality who frequently publishes to centrist and liberal-right outlets.

Once patterns are identified, other journalists can research and report on what those publications, their editors, or their journalists are attempting to manufacture. Caught early, before they become quoted sources and internally promoted voices of authority, the public has a better chance at gleaning who the real stakeholders are.

Anyway, it was recently identified that reassignment surgery costs around $150,000, and at a rate of roughly 1% of the population, that's a multi-billion dollar market without established brand loyalty. The corporations that capture that are expected to be well served.

Human society has no "laws" by nature, the closest observable in nature with the great apes is a brute "winner" takes it all society, that is not capable to create and sustain complexity and coherence.

To compensate this, humanity has "contract" cults who form a basic law providing form of society, protecting the weaker party form getting exploited and abused.
These contract cults exists since the dawn of time and have been shaped into various forms, mostly with mythological wrappings, we designate as religion today.
Hounded into the service as contract cultists, have been all sexual deviants of a society. Always.
Which is why if you watch carefully, its actually selected for.

A emotional reaction to question regarding sexual deviancy from the norm, is a important signal during the mating process, regardless on what side of the political spectrum you are.

Gender ideology is a synthetic contract cult, and while it has all the other negatives, previous religion incarnations carried with them, it also brings alot of freedom to the cultists and tries to do away with alot of pain. Abolishing it, is not possible, as it will simply lead to other contract cults forming.

The best that can be accomplished is, preventing the church from intervening in fields of science society depends on and finding a new separation of church and state, with this contract cult.

PS: Bad engineered religions, lead to a faltering rule of law in societys, which then return in the long run to the "winner" takes it all societal model, destroying complexity capability.

Me too. Out of curiosity, I also added a user style sheet (via Stylus) to mark HTTP links:

:where(:link[href^="http:"])::after {
content: " [http]";
color: red;
text-decoration: none;
}

(I use the :where(…) wrapping so that any site actually trying to use :link::after for real stuff can override my styles without specificity conflicts.)

It’s interesting especially to see how often https: sites have http: links to their own domain, which are just going to get redirected back to the https:. (The HN footer has the “Legal” and “Apply to YC” links being to http://www.ycombinator.com/* for no good reason, a very similar case.)

And how horribly many emails use http: tracking links, and how painfully many of those domains don’t speak HTTPS.

HN’s front page normally has 0–2 out of 30 of the links being HTTP, almost always old domains. It’s fairly rare for a new site to go plain HTTP.

It is indeed, to all of our detriment in my opinion. Won’t stop the HN downvote brigade from attempting to quickly hide it to avoid having to address it, though.

Edit, original comment below. It’s very interesting, and to me, very telling, that HN seems to reach for censorship quicker than good-faith refutation of the core argument. Which here is simply that we have in fact lost the ability to enforce law in many areas, with a post hoc layer of rationalization bolted on, here stated sarcastically and labeled explicitly as such so as not to be interpreted in bad faith. Maybe someone could take the argument at its strongest and refute it? Naah, just flag it.

You’re obviously a white supremacist and racist. If you are not on the side of defunding the police, you are on the wrong side of history and probably harbor sympathies toward neo-Nazis, if you aren’t already a full blown one yourself.

Like, say, the railroads or the phone network, a mass-membership video platform is something which has too many "res publica" aspects to just let it be the property of / in control of a private corporation; but which developed within, or was developed by, one or more such private corporations.

The solution seems to be one of:

1. Let said corporations exert such control over public life.

2. Have nation-states nationalize it.

3. Have the UN internationalize it.

4. Have nation-states, perhaps in collaboration, strongly regulate it.

5. Force it (e.g. via regulation) to become distributed, so that no single entity can exert significant control.

Option (1.) is the status quo and is the worst. The others each have pros and cons.
The general idea of quantizing points so that similar points fall into the same bucket or a near bucket is a powerful one.

It's more appropriately used to answer Ball queries (i.e. find all points within distance r of the query) than near neighbor queries.

I've used it in multiple context :

-Low dimension : Computing all pair-wise interaction for nearby particles in physics simulations : You hash particles positions to cells, and you check interactions between nearby cells.

-Image Similarity search for candidates to loop closure in SLAM algorithms (Depending on the number of images you have brute-forcing in hamming space is often sufficient)

-Visual vocabulary, each key-point has a descriptor value, when you use opencv with SIFT/SURF for matching you can use Flann with LSH.

-K-mean variant clustering with large K, when K is large you need an index to find the closer point efficiently (used to compute the visual vocabulary above)

-Neural networks : for example it can be very tempting to put some kind of LSH index on the GPU as a standard neural-network layer, but if it's too small you are better with standard brute-force, and if it's too big you run out of memory. So you are looking for the sweet-spot. But remembering that if you have an index with 10M elements and you update sparsely only 10 elements by iteration, you'll need at least 1M iterations before each element has moved. So your algorithm will take a long time to converge.

-P2P indices : Tables of hashes that can be used to recover similar data when querying them.

The version of LSH described in the article is not often used because in real data you can often take advantage of some hierarchical representation inside the data.

It's among one of the many space-partitioning technique with multiple overlapping partitions.

Depending on the constraints on your data, it's hard to make it shine. It shines best when there are large quantity of data, but it consumes a lot of memory so it may be useful to have the index on disk, and ideally you'd like to be able to update the index incrementally. The various existing libraries work well for the specific situations they are designed to handle, but quite often you are still better rolling your own space-partitioning technique for your specific constraints.

Also quite often instead of an approximate search and have to fiddle with some tuning parameters, it's better to use some exact search : If you can project into hamming spaces, there are fast and exact algorithms (although memory intensive) based on the pigeon-hole principle.
Perhaps one issue with any plastics is they are generally made from a finite resource, whereas energy and water can be more sustainable
For the record I'm saying "US is far more dirtier" not "someone else has a dirty conscience too", that's a pretty good defense IMHO, you see, somebody else in this post suggested US should stick a military/naval base in Taiwan, what do you think?

"you do not seem to deny that ...", I didn't deny it immediately since it's a bit far fetched to argue comparing to the previous paragraph, we even bombed a small island with no people for twenty years(keyword: Second Taiwan Strait Crisis), but that's history, does Xi want Taiwan back? of course, does Xi want to go down as a tyrant? of course not, look at history, we got HK and Macau back, peacefully, remember that.

On the other hand, recently, Taiwan government refused vaccines from China, I think they really went too far.

> The “experts” have been exposed lying, and carrying out their own political agendas many times throughout this pandemic

That will depend on a per country basis. In the ones i followed there were no lies, only revisions in guidance based on better knowledge of the situation.

> The appeal to authority is a logical fallacy in the first place, and “expert” credibility is (rightly) at an all time low.

Yes, and that's how we got shit like Trump and Brexit, because people are "sick of experts" and decide to yolo it for the guy screaming the loudest. Guess what, that doesn't work, and you're much better off listening to experts, and evaluating what they're saying, rather than ignoring them and going with the village idiot. Experts can lie, be frauds, have conflicts of interest, etc. but their reputation and credibility are paramount. Which politicians or talk show hosts, because that's apparently who people take their pandemic guidance on, are credible?

> I would suggest the best advice is to treat everything you hear/read with a healthy dose of skepticism, especially in regards to people who rely heavily on their credentials to deflect criticism

And by having everyone doubt everything, you end up with people believing in Q shit in Germany. Skepticism is critical, but too much of it just creates chaos.

Part of the problem is that the police are run like a gang. Corruption is rampant in most departments and officers do not hold each other accountable and are effectively above the law. Union leaders often have more sway than police chiefs in major cities.

You have to clear out the rot before you can have meaningful change. Otherwise they’ll just sabotage the reform like they have in the past.

Many cities allocate far too high a percentage of their budgets to policing. Programs that are diversionary and reduce crime (education for one) are frequently cut in order to give ever-increasing money to police departments that show zero ROI. If there was more of a focus on “doing the best you can with what you get” like every other city service, it wouldn’t be so bad but right now police dominate city budgets in every city in the US.
It can be configured and the default has to be something. The main problem is that it’s just too slow, at least in my experience. Even stripped of some bloat it can take >1s to get the prompt printed. Not worth it, at all.
I am sure that the description of something bad as being fractally (self-similar on repeating scales) bad is not original to me.
Information is information and the more you have, the easier it is to figure out where it came from. Some data makes it easier than others.

I worked with a hospital awhile back with patient radiological data (for free and for science). Patients had to explicly sign-off that they were sharing their data with us and what we planned to use it for. A lot of the metadata from DICOM wasn't even wiped, I had their names, street addresses, all sorts of stuff which was supposed to be wiped (de-identified).

Even then, I worked with data from a patient with a brain tumor and their neurosurgeon looking to remove it. That data was correctly anonymoized but it was their head, so I could basically reconstruct their face--so is a coarse geomerric sampling of a face de-identified? I guess it depends on how coarse it was.

Just look at what's done with social media, advertising, and browser data to get an idea of where things can go.

There are two kinds of NITs.

The first kind should really just be linter rules. If it's not important enough to enforce across the project, it isn't worth mentioning now.

The second are strongly held opinions the other person doesn't want to make a big deal about. Maybe they are expecting pushback, or not feeling confident in their explanation of the issue. So they couch it in a nit.

You should be able to push back on comments you disagree with. Often I'll bring up suggestions that I think would improve the code but that I don't think are must haves. I think we can share a tremendous amount of knowledge in code review.

And of course, the easiest way to get fewer code review comments is to thoroughly review your own code with a critical eye. Review it like its someone else's. Find the typos and unclear variables. Anticipate the "nits" that you know are coming.
Not all the medications are amphetamines. The most popular medication, Ritalin, is not an amphetamine.

Even the ADHD prescribed amphetamine medication is dextroamphetamine, not the scary methamphetamine.

There are also several medications that are not stimulants. While I do believe that children should be prescribed the minimum medications during their formative years, I've talked to several teachers whose students now have a prescription because the children were doing school at home and finally followed the teacher's recommendation.
Trillium Notes is another one that allows for the same node to be available in multiple branches. It's pretty good - but the focus on rich-text content primarily became frustrating for me and got in my way and I started looking at other options. I then found exporting/migrating my data with those concepts was challenging, since it ends up being proprietary with no easy export option - at least no easy export that then cleanly works in other products.
