I’ve spent many years explicitly teaching my son not to try to bury his anger. Anger is a biological imperative. As humans — as mammals — we don’t have the option not to feel it. Like any other emotion, it has to go somewhere. It is either felt and expressed, or felt and repressed.

They key is to feel it but not attach to it, and not use it to hurt yourself or others. Feel it, express it if you need to in non-hurtful ways, then let it go. This isn’t my idea, and it’s not a new idea -— it’s central to Buddhism, for example.

So I reread this and worry — where are those kids putting their anger? Because for sure they’re not escaping it entirely.
I think illustrating how everything fits together with an animated 3D model is extremely underrated. I wish there were more videos explaining all kinds of concepts using this approach. So much information is conveyed so quickly with this spacial representation, though it's probably a lot of work to produce videos like this.
Diagrams work great too but they require more work, skill, and $ than (maybe) paying an intern to write body copy.
Also more mature than Flatpak
For reference, the Prius electric motor is slightly more powerful than that (depending on year) and it's incredibly sluggish when accelerating without the gasoline motor. I'm sure part of that is Toyota doesn't give the electric motor full juice without the ICE, but the other part of it is that 23kw/30hp is not a lot.

I suspect the 0-30 (!) would be in the 13 second range and hitting 60 would take like two minutes and few miles of straight, flat road with no headwind.
Everything from Ampere is crazy expensive (unless you count the Oracle Cloud free tier).
Really surprised to see The Gimp in 1992 … full 6 years before its initial conception.
Sounds good for city use. In fact I'd like a model twice as long (can be half as fast) for the extra cargo space.
VO2 max is good in that its easily tested. As such: its a microbenchmark (much like how Linpack FLOPs is touted as the supercomputer benchmark, even though dense matrix multiplications are probably in the minority of tasks)

Since there's a consistent test available that "microbenchmarks" an athlete's measure of endurance across athletic fields (bicyclists, cross country skiers, runners, etc. etc.), we can now compare athletes of different styles against each other and learn from all of them.
>Could well be 99.999999%

That's up to you (or Tesla) to prove, isn't it? Taking your (or Tesla's) word that it's good most of the time is utterly meaningless.
True but not in these timeframes. With all respect, willing to take the (way way) over in the scenario parent describes- total global population of 1-2B in 50 years.

In 200 years? Yeah, dramatically reduced counts of humans is possible.

But in 50 years- global population will be greater than it is now.
I was more upset about the "10" than the "5". My point was that you "converted" a single value to a range, giving the impression that the single value would be roughly in the middle of the range, but it was actually below its lower bound. Why didn't you say just "5F", or if you wanted to give a range, then "3-7F" instead?
> The fact that so many people pay that cost and the inconveniences of maintenance and searching for parking space should motivate you to think about the utility of car ownership.

Car ownership has a Prisoners' Dilemma payoff structure to its utility. It's very useful to the car owners, very harmful to society at large. As more and more people have cars, the population of car owners and society at large overlap a lot, meaning everyone is paying the costs.

Do you ever wonder why it's so hard to get around without a car? A lot of it is that the need for wide roads for cars, and the need for lots of parking force all of your built infrastructure to be physically spread out. Which means you no longer can get around without a car, which means you need more car infrastructure, which makes it harder to get around without a car...
Bootcamps have failed one after another. The most well known, Lambda, is even desperate enough they will "loan" you a new "grad" for free to try to get you to hire one [0]. And that's not even scratching the surface of what's wrong with bootcamps in general, like having instructors barely a few months ahead of students giving out lectures and grading assignments [1].

I can't say I've seen anyone straight out of a bootcamp that was a great hire. I guess these online coding schools might cater to motivated teenagers that are interesting in trying out CS before enrolling in a proper degree. The few good hires I've seen were all STEM grads that decided to take a bootcamp after graduation, or CS grads that were not confident in their ability to enter the marketplace. They could have probably achieved the same thing with a bit of self study or a few electives in college.

Meditation App for 2021 – Top Impactful Meditation Apps in the World
More importantly there are dumb as shit C level people out there reading this that are going to think there is something wrong with their developers because they don’t make apps in a day/minutes/(fill in other dumb and obviously false timeframes for a production time allotment here)
I think her calling this series of tweets "news" is super dishonest and wrong.

Everyone knows this is private information, the fact that you got your hands on it doesn't make it OK to share.
I have no idea how people aren’t getting this. People, if the website that the tool is hosted on is down or gone, then you are dead out of water. That’s why he made a local tool. Get it?

I think the point is that the P is not necessary if the T's fail. So, you're creating a stop loss for your time/money/blood/sweat/tears
First, you chose bad companies, as I can see from your list. Second, same here. I'm feeling myself a dumb, stupid numskull. If all those companies raise money with their crappy products, what's wrong with me?
Probably better than a bicycle. Good enough tbh, but maybe not for the US.
As a founder who has made a lot of money, I can tell you that founders nearly never put in the same effort that they did into starting their company into something new. Elon Musk is the exception that proves the rule.

Our finance-based culture is very destructive to good companies. Whenever a founder sells a company and leaves, the company almost always goes steeply downhill.
> what if governments start to add other, unrelated data to get rid of people who cause political friction and other undesired elements as per their government policies?

This is exactly what's going to happen, especially in countries like Russia and China. Children are just the perfect political weapon to make people accept the system.
> Its much better for the poor and for the environment to have a fleet of $30k cars @ 70% utilization than a bunch of $10k cars at 5% utilization.

Even better to have a functioning bus and cycle network!
More importantly, the F1 steering system is setup with variable steering ratios so that they never (at least in racing), have to release the wheel. Even the hairpin at Monaco takes only 1/2 a turn [1] of the steering wheel.

Having to turn a rectangular steering wheel more than half a turn in ordinary driving is a serious safety issue. Installing it on a car for a conceit of fashion is outrageous.

If Tesla wants to install such a wheel, they need to setup the steering so that the full lock-to-lock range is within 180° or 190° of wheel turn. This can be done with variable ratio steering, and could be very cool.

does anyone understand why we have 4 drive motors for 3 degrees of freedom? it didn't seem that way from the presentation but maybe the motor axes aren't aligned with the drive axes?
You absolutely need at least one layer of indirection between your infrastructure configuration and the terraform code used to instantiate it.

This is both for versatility and for developer sanity. You do not want to constantly be thinking in terms of individual resources, but have enough abstraction so that you are thinking in terms of higher building blocks of your infrastructure.

>Right now, the TSLAs with FSD will disable it in snow+rain

What about that instant before it figures out it's bad enough weather to shut itself off? What is the threshold?
But neither the automobile shortage nor the chip shortage that caused it were themselves caused by lockdown restrictions. This would have happened anyway.

> The second and third order effects from the last year and a half will no doubt have more of a negative public health impact than covid ever did.

Really? COVID killed millions and made millions more very sick. Meanwhile industrial economies are doing overall quite well despite lockdowns and some labor shortages.
Disappointed with the HN crowd - of all groups of posters, we should understand the inaccuracy of mathematical models, and the unexpected emergent behavior of complex interconnected systems. How are we so arrogant to believe that we can predict the future with certainty?
It's a fantastic way to get top comments here though.
haahahhahahaha!!!

What a bunch of fucking losers.

FUCK San Francisco!
A clandestine means of transporting cargo without relying on humans who can steal or be traced back to the owner. I wonder if they'll accept cryptocurrency.
These are excellent points. But what if a musician is hired to compose a song that is to be played on a brand new instrument? Would the musician not want the instrument to be playable rudimentarily very quickly, so he can begin to demonstrate where he is going with the song, so as to get early feedback?

While this is a tortured analogy (as a musician, I want no feedback until I'm done). I believe that wanting tools that optimize for the long-term, coupled with needing early feedback is precisely why many use certain technologies for demos, then build in other technologies.

The faster the demo can be built the better. The earlier you get feedback on the UI the better. The earlier you show a demo, the sooner you find out what the user really needs as compared to what you've been told (and the sooner the user finds out what they don't need, despite what they thought).
What makes you think sending WASM over the wire is slower? The payloads should be smaller than JS, assuming you aren't shipping a runtime alongside your code (which Rust doesn't). I don't know about the bootstrapping side, but I know some people use WASM specifically for the small bundle sizes.
> It is most definitely not low latency for heap sizes as big as what the OpenJDK can routinely handle (up to a terabyte).

A claim without evidence isn't worth very much.

> Go’s GC has it easier due to the language having native support for stack-based allocation which can sometimes be used in otherwise garbage-heavy places.

Java (i.e., "modern JVMs") also has "native" stack-based allocation (indeed, it has an escape analyzer whose sole purpose is putting things on the stack); however, it lacks value types.
> We cannot, for example, teach kids about democracy in environments that give kids often less agency than prisoners in prisons.

That's admirable.
Sadly this reads like 'Yet you choose to live in a panopticon.'
I find it fairly easy to find specific bad information campaigns promoted by smart people. For example, those two doctors in Bakersfield California created misleading arguments using bad math [0].

As the owner of a company, I can tell you that any company that will not give you all the financial information necessary to value your shares and know what it's worth is scamming you.
Second vote for Matt Levine. You can get his articles sent to your email and not worry about Bloomberg’s monthly article limit.

His articles overlap heavily with top posts on HN. This week he wrote about App Annie.
> It's time to say the fucking word. It's time to admit you were wrong about the free market. It's time to vote for anticapitalist regulationists whenever you can.

I'm going to remain a staunch Capitalist. I wasn't wrong about market based economics. I won't be admitting to such a thing.

The greenest, cleanest, nicest nations in the world are all market based economies, and that includes the nations of Scandinavia (which are all market based economies; none are Socialist nations). There have been no actual free market economies in existence in the past century. Hong Kong perhaps came closest. The US for its part hasn't been anything close to a free market during most of the post Civil War era, however it remains a market based economy as with all of Western Europe. The US and all economies of Europe (as well as all relevant economies of Asia) are highly regulated, and nowhere near free market systems.

The most polluting nation in world history, modern China, is very openly anti-Capitalist and very aggressively pro-Socialism. They have never been Capitalist, nor have they ever had a free market economy. Their system is becoming less market based by the day, and they're set to double their emissions again in the coming decades. They currently operate under a totalitarian Communist one-party dictatorship. Socialism with Chinese characteristics, as they're so fond of saying.
No, my point is that I haven't seen, and am asking for, data to back up the belief that the pursuit of mental health is causing mass seizures of people's belongings.

If anything, my point is that maybe this pervasive (and possibly unfounded, which is why I'm wondering if there is any actual hard data) fear of having guns stolen is impacting people's mental health by disincentivizing them from seeking the help they need.
Wow, I have been thinking about this so much lately, as I think irrational anger is one of the primary ills of modern western society, especially in the United States (or at least that’s where I observe it directly). I can think of no better anecdotal example than my tendency to allow myself to wallow in subreddits like publicfreakout or bullybackfire or iamatotalpieceofshit. I find them to be addictive and yet when I finally put down my phone I feel both angry and dirty, and my own personal philosometer tilts away from people are basically good to people are basically evil, and the next thing I know I’m browsing Redfin for 40 acres in the mountains, and I think about purchasing a shotgun to lean up behind the door of my cabin there. None of it is healthy or productive.

Anyway, thanks for this post and I think I’ll buy this book.
What makes it even more funny is the entire fucking city (except for poor people of course) is 100% vaxx'd.

FUCKING LOSERS!
What if I need a dependency tree on my tasks? What if I need to share the list with others - does this attach data to a session cookie or something? What if I need to subtask an item. What if I need to time track the start to finish? What if I need to estimate that? What if I need a title and description for each task, and a way to associate blocking, duplicates, etc?

A TODO list is one thing, but this isn't going to replace Mattermost or Jira tomorrow.
I think the black swan event is less of the pandemic itself and more of how it played out. If actions were taken and the pandemic was halted early, there would be less impact. At least speaking of the US.

The pandemic has gone on for far longer than it really needed to due to the politicization of safety measures. Several countries were able to nearly beat back the pandemic rather early, but the US is currently sitting in a third or fourth wave due to asinine behaviors of a few state governments.

Yes, a pandemic itself isn't black swan, but just how badly this was fumbled sure seems like it is (at least I damn well hope the next one isn't so badly managed).
I guess if you look at it, they almost doubled their revenue in last 1 year but the loss only went up by a fraction compared to last year. So they are on a high growth path which is what investors want I assume.
Large, and the deadlock was only a few times but the stalled and unresumable mirrors were rampant.

We were mirroring the linux kernel and maybe 40-50 different repositories. Two users.
"ritual" is a pretty general term that doesn't quite match its colloquial meaning and generally doesn't have anything to do with sex toys. Imagine you find an old PCB that you weren't quite sure the purpose of. Is it unfair to call it "electronic" when there's a more specific term that could be applied if you knew what its purpose was? The same objection applies equally to "art".
"videos from reputable sources like Vox" - yeah, right...

I wonder who that article is addressed to? At first it may seem they want to reassure viewers that they will get shown the best content. But the longer the article goes on, the more it sounds like a reassurance that they will absolutely block out unwanted political views.

Why do they feel the need to put out such an article? To stave of government regulation? Or for their own political activism? To reassure the leftist mob that they won't be part guilty of electing another Trump?

I mean as a user, I'd like reassurance that the algorithm tries to show me videos I want to see, not videos that others want me to see.

I am not afraid of being shown a flat-earther video, so I don't get the appeal of the promise to not show me certain things.
Before anyone makes another comment about how and why this should be a webapp….

The author has answered and stated multiple time here that the reason he made this a local app is because if the website that the tool is hosted on is down or gone, then you are dead out of water.

That’s why he made a local tool.

And no, the tool does not still rely on some application/webserver. He has stated that it only requires reaching out to the Whois servers.

note I used “he” but probably should have used “they” as I have no idea on the gender identification of the author. What is the proper way to just use “the author” in place of he/she/they?
Not if you do it yourself. E.g. $900 for a diesel pump change vs $200 + a Saturday. But that's always been the case.
It seems to me that YouTube is doing complex bucket testing with the recommendation algorithm. Some days, my recommendation list is full of obscure-but-relevant-to-my interests content that would require legitimate ML to populate, and then the next day my feed is basically

SELECT DISTINCT videos.*
FROM videos, followers
WHERE videos.creator=followers.creator
AND followers.user = $ME
Can you load specific tabs in a browser of your choice for each space?
Totally agree on hoping there is at least some movement forward on async--particularly async ORM. I love Django and DRF. It is my go-to for a lot of things, but the lack of async support is increasingly a problem for more organizations. Honestly, it would not surprise me that if a solid, kitchen sink web framework emerges in golang, Django will be abandoned rather quickly.

2 cents.
In clojurescript you can press your slime or calva keystroke to send a form (or an expression from a rich comment) to the browser repl and see that immediately reflect and use the current state of the app without reloading.

What’s the equiv workflow when compiling to wasm? Save file > compile > hot reload? > reconstruct state somehow?

Is it like clojurescript where you interactively work on the app in the same way you might interactively craft a sql statement in a live db?
Except for the meager controls they already give you, the data flows only one way: from their db of history to your screen. You fencing off your interests would complicate this immeasurably. I would guess that it would raise the same problem that Google Search found with its domain blacklist feature 10+? years ago.

I don't think personal recommendations are a good use of developer effort, I think I'd be fine if it just showed me videos liked by other people who have liked the same videos I have.
Just amazed at how many people on this thread are refusing to get the point. There are counterexamples to the idea that we can collectively diet our way out of mass obesity everywhere you look. But, it seems that many people can't shed the comfort of thinking of it a character-flaw problem, rather than the biology problem that it clearly, obviously is.
Hydrogen as an automotive fuel is not, and was not ever, a viable technology. This isn't something that's necessarily obvious to laypeople, but it is something that should be (and should always have been) obvious to the top engineers and executives at car companies.
> is anyone actually doing that at scale?

per the prospectus on page 16 the answer is definitely yes:

Net Dollar Retention Rate for customers who paid more than $100,000 in ARR is 283% as of 12 months ended January 2021 and 383% for YTD 2021, meaning this customer cohort increases on average the spent by 2.8x.

The highest net-dollar retention rate among all SaaS publicly-traded companies, whose average is around 120%.
Who isn't looking forward to 99% of front end developers being out of jobs if apps can be built in minutes instead of months.
Nothing about the pandemic made my apartment a miserable place to live. It was alaways a miserable place to live.

* There is no bike parking available, so 2 bikes occupy a large portion of my living space
* The sidewalks outside my apartment are small and in a state of disrepair
* Intersections are cyclist and pedestrian hostile making it hard to go anywhere without it being a stressful experience
* The landlord refuses to fix my A/C when it's 118 degrees farenheit outside, meaning it is often 92F inside the apartment (And no, citing the municipal code that says this illegal does nothing and nobody has the energy to hire a lawyer right now)
* The bus stop has been in disrepair to the point where it was recently just removed altogether meaning I have to walk a mile to get to the next one.
* The next nearest bus stop has no shade or place to sit
* I can't mount my TV to the wall or make any changes to make the small space more comfortable (like hanging shelves or mounting hooks)

I want nothing more than effective urban living, but I have yet to see it. So from my perspective, I'm not sure what was really "lost" during the pandemic that wasn't already broken.

Also, since I see some replies mentioning it, I would rather my parents ad grandparents be alive than have any of the above be fixed. So I'd be careful to judge too harshly and gain some perspective about "strict" measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.
Introducing the OpenSea mobile app
To my mind, it is "correlation" that is being posed as a "causation". Science is never certain, though the Climate Scientists are absolutely certain. See the disconnect? It is more likely this alarmist/doomsday position will be ignored completely by the public (the boy who cried wolf scenario).

A better framing may be to say something like this: "All physical systems of this planet are interconnected. While we cannot be absolutely certain the worsening of weather is related to our behavior, there is mounting evidence that our behavior does, to a great extent, influence the climate. So it is in our hands to alter our behavior so the future generations can enjoy the earth like we do today. We owe it to them."
Automatic security updates are important.
Yeah I’d have to say just stop using FSD underneath a monorail. I haven’t seen as much failures in suburbs
> But neither the automobile shortage nor the chip shortage that caused it were themselves caused by lockdown restrictions. This would have happened anyway.

What would have caused them other than the lockdowns?
Poverty is a special case though because it's relative. You could be a millionaire with a yacht on earth but be below the poverty line if the middle and upper classes live in space stations or on other planets with higher standards of living.

An impoverished person in the US is rich compared to an impoverished person in India or Africa.
