For the past 2 weeks, I've been working from a treadmill. It has been incredible. I got a small under-the-desk treadmill for my standing desk and I walk at about 2.5km/hour and get around 20,000 steps in per day. It has improved my mood, my clarity, and also has improved my sleep (because I'm tired of walking). I also find it easier to focus on tasks for some reason.

If you can make a setup like this work for you, I highly recommend it. Your body will thank you in the long run.

EDIT>> A few of you are asking about the model. I actually bought 2, one for myself and one for my partner, who also loves it.

This one is mine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V7F8QYK. I got it when it had a $100-off coupon, so the price wasn't as steep. No real complaints so far, except you can't store it upright. I just roll it out of the way when I want to sit.

The one for my partner is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0895DRWVY. She likes it. It's a little smaller and can be stored upright and out of the way, which is nice. There have been complaints about the remote (and it only comes with 1), but the manufacturer claims to ship new remotes free of charge if yours breaks.

They're both a little quirky with a very simple LCD screen. Supposedly mine has an app integration for step counting, but I just use my phone in my pocket. They both get the job done.
I trust that just as much as we should have trusted “Just two weeks to flatten the curve”

Interesting, but a person who prefers to poll once a day in the morning, perhaps, gets nothing because there's someone else who prefers to poll at the end of the day. How do you allow them the flexibility to design their schedule?

> Indeed, but millions of humans have lived for millenia in places where grass does not grow easily.

And what were the populations of those communities? Did they have hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of individuals draining natural resources?

In recent times humans haven't really done as much accepting the "world as it is". We've tried to shoehorn ourselves into circumstances where we probably should not have. I am reminded of the episode of the cartoon King of the Hill where they visit Phoenix:

There are lots of good options. The higher end brands include:

Style, material preferences, and budget will guide the best pick. You can't really go wrong so long as your choice is an adjustable chair.
People that don’t like working from a bed generally have uncomfortable beds. You should always buy the best bed you can. You spend a third of your life on one.
Be sure to invest in a cheap spot-welder to put on charging tabs. Soldering to the ends of batteries is very dangerous. (Even if you see people saying they do it without obvious trouble. Key is "obvious".)
Steelcase Please seems to be ideal for my above average height. Quite expensive though, if you are getting it for the list price - check if your company has a discount with them or their local distributors as many companies apparently do.

I never said society requires government. Only that it requires collective decision-making. You could require all collective decisions to require 100% agreement among all members, but then you'd achieve little to nothing.

I don't think framing the world as employers and employees is the right way to reconcile with a potential 10x increase in human productivity. We could consider making employers obsolete at that point. At this point in time, it isn't certain that employers (or capital, largely) will own the benefits of this 10x, is it? Can we make sure to wield it for the benefit of humanity? This is potentially beyond the scale of individual companies, if we don't let them eat all the profits.
It's not necessarily the economy that's setup this way, it's more basic than that, it's human behaviour.

The psychological reaction to the power of hierarchy and the difficulty in questioning that power and the inherent internal-monologue questioning of 'what could I have done better?' to satisfy those to whom I report.

Sometimes it's you, sometimes it's them, but like with domestic violence, the victims sometimes / often will, confusingly, go back to their aggressors, further enabling the toxic, and sometimes criminal, behaviour.

There's a fine line between being a 'snowflake' and allowing yourself to be repeatedly victimised, and it's entirely dependent on each individuals "transaction value". Where the economy comes into it is in the lifestyle impact of changing jobs: in an employers market, ruthless behaviour probably has fewer repercussions.
So, what happens when someone's watermarked copy starts showing up online? Will you be assuming the only way it got out was abuse by the intended customer and send in the lawyers? Did you notify your customers before they paid anything of this risk they're taking?

> We also have reading glasses that are about 2 diopters weaker than our distance (driving) glasses.

I've been wearing glasses for 18 years. My prescription peaked around -3.75. Last year I got the usual eye strain suggesting my prescription needed changing, so I went to an optician and they suggested a stronger prescription: -0.5 more in each eye, and quite a strong change in astigmatism. I was a bit skeptical as usually when my prescription changed before it was -0.25 in one eye or the other, and I could still read mostly ok, just after a long day my eyes were tired. They insisted it was correct, so I ordered the glasses but when I got them I couldn't read a computer screen for more than 15 minutes without lots of eye strain. I went back to them, they tested my eyes again and said everything was fine and I just need to get used to it... Right.

After that I went to an eye hospital where they do laser surgery as they do much more extensive testing. They said my eyes were perfectly healthy, but the issue was the that the prescription opticians gave me was for distance use, not for computer use. I was a bit flabbergasted at first - you are telling me for the last 18 years opticians have been giving me the wrong prescription?!?! They suggested -3.25 for computer use, and to keep my old -3.75 glasses for driving. Sure enough, I can see computer screens perfectly fine with these glasses and no eye strain.
They agree (and agreed, as the napping was in a past job) that a lot of meetings we are taken do don’t help us do our jobs. Not sure if they nap during them.

Requirements for an accounting system? That’d be hilarious if I wasn’t so traumatized by past experience. Seriously, the tensor product of jurisdictions, clients, strategies, and the various preferences of your rotating bosses—it’s a cascade of requirements that you could never satisfy.
Show HN: CLI Mood Tracker
Hello HN ,
A bit of Friday morning "productivity". I decided I needed to track how I am feeling at different times of the day and wrote a 4 line bash function. The idea is to meet the following requirements :
1. Easy to use and readily accessible
2. Store in a CSV and push to git so that I can create nice looking graphs later on
3. Make good use of time on a day I woke up at 5:30AM :)

Function is stored in ~/.bashrc and I use the terminal . Scale is from 0 to 10 with 0 being the worst

`mt 10 "Show HN first submission"`

```
function mt() {

score=$1

message=$2

echo "$score,$message,`date`" >>mood.csv

git commit -am "Mood@`date`" && git push origin main

}
```

Each AWS partition can have its own browser support SLA. China's AWS console has its own [1], although it almost overlaps completely with the "classic" AWS console [2].

For the government/secret partition, I have no clue what their SLA is, but it wouldn't be a leap to assume they may something different.

It's totally for real, and I stand up and walk a little every hour or so, or I'll get tired and start slouching. WFH eliminated my chronic back pain, and I credit the bench.

As I understand it, the key is the good posture. My back pain was caused by weak lower back muscles. Maintaining good posture exercises those, where comfy chairs only relieve the immediate discomfort at the cost of long-term health.

Facebook should have stayed a social network like myspace used to be. People following people.

Their pivot into a news aggregator / news feed is what is slowly eroding trust because of easy manipulation by nefarious actors.
Facebook and other social media groups should not be allowed to automate moderation of their platforms. All content should be inspected by a human, just like the underwear I’m wearing. All users that sign up should be verified to be adults who they claim to be.
If you want to save space and only plan on doing minor editing, use JPG. If you're planning on doing more than minor editing, use RAW.

The reason is simple, JPG is optimized for human sight, and too much post-processing makes previously invisible JPG artifacts very visible.
You're getting downvoted but you raise a fair point. Sometimes, the inefficiencies from bureaucracies don't trade off and create more robustness or greater scale. Sometimes they are purely extractive or arguably corrupt.

With that said, is it really fair to call India pseudo-socialist? For all intents and purposes, India is closer to the EU and a region/confederation of nations than it is to a single country. One can say that inefficiencies from Indian bureaucracy plague the country, but that would be to treat India like a monolith, which it certainly is not.

India is a panoply of genetic, cultural, and linguistic diversity -- a plurality, and one of the world's oldest democracies. Even so, India's growth remains blistering in real terms. Perhaps we see things a certain way because our finite lives exist in a certain point in history; but could our children or grandchildren see India the same way we see China today?

It's personally hard to fathom that the answer is yes, but it's equally hard for me to fathom that the answer is no. In a way, I almost expect to be surprised.

> the writing of said logic becomes the responsibility of the team who owns that particular domain

Thanks, that much makes sense. I'm still not buying into the idea of a Data Mesh, mostly because pushing costly requirements upstream is a hard idea to sell.
Do you have a picture of the bluescreen or was the crash recently?

Since Vista GPU hangs or TDRs don't cause blue screen. It's likely something else that's causing your system to hangup on bluetooth connections. Your best bet is to file a feedback hub bug, if enough people are facing it - our tools will flag either the update or the device drivers identified as common in crash dumps.

If you're keen, I could take a look at your crash dump file. My email is firstname.lastname@microsoft.com (you'll find me at github.com/zeusk)

Not central to the main ideas of this article, but if you want to have a data mesh that is self-service, why force folks to use a particular storage medium like a data warehouse? That still requires centralization of the data.

Why not instead have a tool like Trino (https://trino.io) that allows you to let different domains use whatever datastore they happen to use. You still would need to enforce schema, but this can be done in tools like schema registry as mentioned in the article along with a data cataloging tool.

These tools facilitate the distributed nature of the problem nicely and encourage healthy standards to be discussed and the formalized in schema definitions and catalogs that remove the ambiguity of discourse and documentation.

Nice example is laid out in this repo of how Trino can accomplish data mesh principles 1 and 3 (https://github.com/findinpath/trino_data_mesh).
Desire for retribution and revenge are powerful emotions. Not much good comes of them. Especially so in influencing and even designing how a system of incarceration should function.
I use a $3999 Hale Aircomfort Zero Gravity Recliner with Air Massage [1]. I have three 27" monitors that are attached to a motorized sit/stand desk, purely so I can adjust their height as I adjust my depth of recline. This is an investment in my health that my employer doesn't seem to want to even discuss.

Recent survey asked "Are you missing equipment that is only available at the office?" No, it's the other way around thanks.

For reference, I got buried in downvotes[1] the other day when I said*:

> Whether these particular vaccines are saving any lives is an open question.

From the linked article:

> Before Provincetown, health officials had been operating under the assumption that it was extraordinarily rare for a vaccinated person to become infected with the virus. And if they did, they probably wouldn't end up passing it on to others, such as children too young to qualify for the vaccine or people who were medically vulnerable.

What happened in Provincetown?

> The outbreak quickly grew to the hundreds and most of them appeared to be vaccinated.

It seems like the main impact of these particular vaccines is to create typhoid Marys[2].

You're not making any sense. Do you think tech startups don't use edge devices? Also, since when are tech startups, which account only for a fraction of the economy, the barometer for anything. They're an outlier in an ocean of multiple industry verticals that usually account for most of the GDI and today's employment. The joint advisory is about attacks overall, not tech startups. Trust me when I say that tech startups use gear listed in that advisory. Unless your idea of a tech startup is a mom-and-pop shop that can't afford to run an AD or intranet -- which most do, and are usually using VPNs and network access gateways to control traffic to it, hence potentially vulnerable.
The healthcare industry used exactly that argument to bottleneck the economy and create a lot of inefficiencies so healthcare can't be provided to everyone. Lots of lives would be saved if it got a lot easier for immigrant doctors to practice, but that would be too efficient and not "robust" enough so they can't do it.
Every single communication product that I tried which was meant to replace email, had a worse impact on my productivity than email itself.

If you want to change the rules of communication in the workplace, sure let's have a discussion. But that doesn't have anything to do with email vs. some other tool.

If you think the problem is some protocol (as in email protocol) or some client[1]... Then my BS detector will go off.

[1] I recognise that some email clients are better than others. It should also be noted that email is one of the few communication modes where you are free to choose whatever client you want, so thee argument "email is bad because Client X is bad" doesn't really hold.
The rapidly declining cost to store files and the performance of modern computers is to blame for this old opinion becoming irrelevant. That and adoption of drivers for raw formats and support from the hardware manufacturers so that all popular operating systems can use official decoders rather than ad-hoc decoders (read dcraw - David Coffin's open source decoder library in C from the early 2000's).
It seems inevitable and natural that it would be dramatic as we venture beyond our comfy zone of time between .1s and 10^9s - I'm not sure why the lower end is getting all the love here. Geology, anyone? Cosmology?

It's also funny that the OP mentions astronomy as the origin of the .1s problem, but doesn't mention, you know, machinery. Engines (internal combustion or otherwise) were cycling in the .1 - .001s range in the 19th century.

And in terms of the challenges of modernity, isn't the biggest modern challenge, not just to time, psychology, or physics, but to the entire notion that knowledge be organized and expanded upon by succeeding generations when institutional integrity declines and the proliferation of baseless speculation and idle daydreams is allowed to mascarade as legitimate academic content?

We humans are stuck in our time and place, at all time scales. At the high end, there is no escaping the light cone. And I'm never going to experience nanosecond time. We exist at this level of zoom, and unaided humans are stuck here. So what? We range out with our imperfect instruments. No sane person is asserting that telescopes and microscopes are eyes. We get born, recapitulate what our ancestors learned, use their tools, build our own, and push back the veil of ignorance a little.

What's the big whoop?
By the late 1980's early versions of Cubase et al. existed. These were not yet DAWs in the modern sense(while there were some very early high-end examples of multitrack digital audio, that phenomenon waited until memory and storage were cheaper) but they were competent sequencers and could drive MIDI devices easily. Building up a MIDI sequence and then exporting that to the game engine format was the preferred workflow for the studios on PC attempting full scores(rather than "tunes and jingles") starting in this timeframe since it offered the flexibility of hiring traditional composers who could record in from a keyboard and then do some cleanup and edits for the target device as needed, including simplified beeper versions.

The tracker music/custom sequencer formats operated in a parallel universe alongside the MIDI workflow and were more often the provenance of scrappy demosceners and independents who saw an opportunity to completely control the output quality(as long as it was sample-based). Not everyone literally used a tracker type of workflow and there are examples like MML(Music Macro Language) as another idea of source formats, as well as the low-level "enter hexcodes in a machine language monitor while the playback routine is running" (used by some C64 composers.) If you played a DOS game made with QBasic it probably used the PLAY statement to control the beeper, with an MML-style syntax. This style of syntax would appear again with programmable mobile ringtones.

In the mid-90's the balance shifted again towards CD audio, ushering in simple drum loop sequences as the quick-and-dirty audio filler of choice, and everything since then has largely been variations on that theme with more tracks and processing.
> I even swore and shouted at my boss when quitting my last job

That'd be going too far, and is an indication of emotional immaturity. Just leaving the job, and giving a clear indication of the reasons in an exit interview, should be far more of a stab in the guts to your boss.

Shouting and swearing allows them to blame your emotional state and justifying a stance of 'better off without you', thus enabling a (potentially) toxic boss to continue to treat the next person the same way.

Always consider how to make the greatest positive impact. It can actually be far more long-term therapeutic than shouting and swearing.
Exploitable bugs in the COBOL implementation would almost certainly be matters of national security, so I somehow doubt they'd open up the code!

Joking aside, I think the commonality between collectible card video games and legal code is the notion of "code as data." The record that tracks, say, a Shadowverse or MTG card (not going to mention the other obvious example, especially not today), associates it with artwork, ensures that display logic and other-card-interaction logic is normalized with minimal duplicated data, allows it to be hotfixed, tracks its state through various QA stages, automates fuzz testing with many combinations of other cards... all that has analogies to what would be needed here.

It's a rule engine where every field is a node in a directed graph (of course it's the tax code so it's not an acyclic graph, who are we kidding) but there are ways to analyze that. But, the same way a AAA game studio has ways to manage semi-trusted contractors (and, it would seem, even less trustworthy creative directors) and ensure quality at scale, one could imagine a crowdsourced system for rule verification. The "product" is less a tax form filling system and more of a distributed version control system and CI platform. You solve that, you solve a lot.
