That was an expression. I didn’t mean it literally.

In a modern workplace treating people with decency and respect is a must. If you’re experiencing toxicity from “brilliant jerks” consider escalating to HR. Definitely the most under used resource at work. I think the dialogue around workplace and mental health has evolved significantly over the last 10 years.

I don’t condone Steve Jobs’ style in the 2020s moving forward. The world moved past it already and the “next Steve Jobs” I hope will recognize people’s need for psychological safety to work effectively.
Chris, I am approximately a decade younger than you, so in my 40s staring at 50. I started off my career at a pretty severe disadvantage, so it took off late. My golden age is now.

You are correct that my unique expertise affords me some significant advantages. For certain fascinating classes of computer science problem, I’m the person everyone calls. My true CV is far weirder than the public ones. But ironically, that isn’t what companies typically pay me for except tangentially. I mostly get paid to fix broken engineering organizations because apparently I am good at it and there is no version of “broken” I haven’t seen before. I still think of myself as an engineer, and remain extremely technical, but most days I am solving people and organization problems. I am valued more as an executive fixer than for my technical ability despite having some extremely unique technical capability. The market has made it abundantly clear which is more valuable.

I will always love writing code but it is more enjoyable as a (very serious) hobby and craft, albeit with an end product that has often been licensable. I’m not even sure this is a bad thing, since it allows a level of code quality that would never happen in a commercial environment.

FWIW, I’ve always been able to get on with young people and old people, whatever that meant for whatever age I was. I genuinely don’t classify people that way, I am more interested in their experience and knowledge. Especially for engineers, if you are doing cool shit age doesn’t matter.
Lol we're nowhere near a civil war. The US is the the same as the pre-breakup USSR in that the peasant class fully knows that they'd be the biggest losers of any conflict or breakup.
Unless you induce diarrhea, there’s food residues in the gut which keep adding to your energy bottomline for up to a few days. It’s unlikely that having a coffee or a supplement has a noticeable impact on your fasted state during intermittent fasting (when fasting 3+ days, things are different). To be sure, one could just measure serum insulin and ketone levels. Coffee will raise blood sugar, but it’s also lipolytic, so it’s both „bad“ and beneficial.
> a calorie restricted diet via every other day fasting

So this isn't the same as the 'intermittent fasting' practiced by a lot of folks where you only eat in a short(8 hour) window every day.

Personally I did the 8 hour window a couple times in life. After the last time trying it, I'm now "carb intolerant" and seem to suffer from reactive hypoglycemia and postprandial somnolence(i.e. dead after meals). IF didn't do anything for me, weight wise, so I can't really recommend it to anyone. YMMV.
I don't but you can buy breath or urine analysis devices/kits that will tell you if you are producing high levels of ketones so you could see for yourself.

It may be signalling that the dollar is inflating. That it's depreciating. But defaulting? How does a currency default? What would that even mean?

Nope. Done.
Making the world a “better” place is overrated.

I work for a small, non-VC funded, company where I contribute to products that have the potential to help people live longer, healthier lives. And I get paid pretty terribly compared to the COL of my area and compared to what I could make in other industries.

It seems the vast majority of jobs we deem to “make the world a better place”, pay not great. Teachers, social workers, scientists, healthcare workers outside doc/nurse, non-profit work, etc.

Give society what they want. They want to live in a bubble of misinformation, good for them. They want to be angry and incited into violence, good for them.

From where I’m sitting, if I help people live longer, I’m shooting myself in the foot. I can barely afford a crappy condo, currently. If I have kids, their lives will be worse because I had some weird need to care about the mission of my work.

If YOU think people need to work on problems and for companies that make the world a better place, then you should be working on how to incentivize working on these problems and disincentivizing working in companies that “make the world worse.” You’re going to have to figure out how to get teachers paid as much as a banker, I wish you the best of luck.
As other here have said, this is very good advice.

I thought it must be something related to the DisplayPort transport. I noticed in ioreg that the HDMI AppleCLCD2 had downstream=HDMI upstream=DP as its transport params.

So its possible that it isn’t DCP related after all, the mcdp29xx chip might not be implementing the DDC part at all like most USB-C hubs that I have to deal with.

Thanks for the insight!
No need for the implant. We all deserve to feel good.

I'd start with "just stop eating" and then solve for any issues that pop up for you because people have a lot of different reactions. For me, I do alternate day fasting... sometimes 2-3 days of fasting in a row. I had some common issues such as not being able to sleep and diarrhea while fasting. So instead of 0 calories, I eat a bowl of oatmeal (high fibre) on my "fasting days". Also, when weight training while fasted I'd feel so light-headed I'd have to stop. But I fixed that by drinking 1 bottle of Gatorade (some calories + hydration + electrolytes) before exercise. You'll just have to find what works for you. Other patterns are 5:2 (2 days of fasting) and one-meal-a-day. Sometimes after a break from fasting, I'd get too hungry the first day back on fasting so I'd ease into it with one-meal-a-day.
SPAs can easily handle routing via the history API, the problem is that companies haven’t migrated correctly.
Just curious, how does Matrix solve this problem?
Like meta programming, creating a string to define a query and then executing the string. In the case above, you dynamically create the program you need to solve the problem and then execute it. This is different than "solving the problem". You are writing a program to "write the program to solve the problem".
> But if poor people want to read books and forget to return them, it doesn’t help to punish them. Sometimes we just have to accept that a certain percentage of society can’t or won’t do socially responsible things all the time.

As someone who isn't and didn't grow up poor, yet has yet to ever return a borrowed library book (which is why I stopped going to libraries decades ago), I find your conflation of "poor people" and "can't or won't do socially responsible things" to be quite telling -- about your attitudes with respect to poor people.

I suggest you re-evaluate your ideas about intersection of socio-economic status and social responsibility, as it seems that you're wildly off-base[0] there.

Bingo. The whole thing smells fishy. Of course, the headlines were talking about how evil Facebook is because it makes kids feel bad. But digging deeper, you can see exactly how this is meant to play out: More censorship and control by the NGOs and "Fact-Checkers" (since the gov't can't publicly dictate what content Facebook is censoring). But make no mistake, the same players that are calling the shots in DC will now be ensuring the public doesn't see any of that dangerous "disinformation".

> If you have a book you haven’t finished but want to, there’s no incentive to return it now. Check out as many books as you’d like, return them at your leisure, and screw anyone who has any concurrent interests in any of those books.

Under the new system, if you have any overdue books, you cannot check out new books. So you cannot "check out as many books as you would like". You can return them at your leisure.

A system of library fines works best under the following conditions:

* For most people who use the library, there is only a very small subset of books that interest them.

* And these people want to keep the books long term.

* And these people can afford library fines.

People who are interested in only a few books, want them long term, and can afford library fines generally buy their books at book stores rather than stealing them from libraries.

The system recently adopted by New York City will still work if most library users

* are interested in a selection of books greater than the maximum number that can be checked out at a time

* and regularly want to switch out books

* and cannot afford library fines

I will assume that the New York City Library System knows who their users are. Generally people who use public library fit into the poorer class of people and the people who need the library the most are those who cannot afford books and therefore regularly checkout new books. For these people, the system adopted by the New York Library will still motivate them to return their books.

Yes, some people who can afford books will steal from the library. Well, if they ever want to check out new books, they will need to return their old books (and maybe the New York Library has done the math and decided that a small enough percentage of the population is book thieves that this will work)

It really annoys me that whenever I argue for "don't write bugs" as a quality practice, people immediately respond with all sorts of justifications why that's not possible. Of course it's not. But that doesn't mean we can't improve.

> Time spent in economically fruitful endeavors is viewed as important, while other time spent seen as frivolous.

I don't know if "frivolous" is the right word, but I know a contractor doesn't have PTO. His hourly rate is high enough he could take 4-6 weeks vacation and still make more than he would as an full-time employee (although that depends on the value of other benefits). Yet he still cannot bring himself to take a single day off because he "needs" the money.

People seeking a second job, or working crushing hours, are doing so hoping to get paid enough to escape the rat race and/or because they need that money to survive.

We can't. Depression is your brain's reaction to not being able to pick and maintain long-term goals for prolonged time. And the increased number of depressed people in the past decades is an indication that something about our society is going wrong.

Dealing with it without resolving the underlying cause is effectively turning people into obedient work force that has accepted its fate.
The word's basically lost at this point. If someone says "freedom" and it's not actually RMS, it's a 90% shot they're using it as a school-bathroom-toilet-paper-thin veil over "I don't really want to pay taxes for anything other than preserving my private property rights, and can we at least privatize that too?"

We almost need a new term for the old "Freedoms From (want/fear/persecution)" we used to talk about as a feature of a high-functioning civilization.

Could this just be an issue of too many problems to care about and not enough time to solve them all or do you think the indifference was intentional?

It looks like a group at the University of Exeter is working on that exact plan.

"SeaCURE harnesses two natural properties of the ocean that can circumvent this problem. (1) The amount of carbon dissolved in a seawater is approximately 150 times higher than its concentration in air, making extraction significantly easier and quicker, (2) we can utilise the ocean’s vast surface area to remove CO2 from the enormous volume of air sitting above it, rather than having to push all of that air through air-based CO2 capture facilities."

"SeaCURE will combine and refine existing approaches to develop a new system that removes CO2 from seawater and releases the CO2-depleted water back to the ocean, where it will naturally re-absorb an equivalent amount of CO2 from the atmosphere. Specifically, at the University of Exeter and Plymouth Marine Laboratory we will benchmark established approaches to prepare seawater for CO2 extraction, strip that CO2 from the seawater, and collaborating with Brunel University concentrate the CO2 to high purity. TP Group, a UK based technology and engineering firm with world leading expertise in gas extraction from seawater, will then develop and upscale the most cost effective approach from this toolkit. The SeaCURE team will design a portable pilot plant to remove at least 100 tonnes of CO2 a year. Future testing using the pilot plant would generate the data required to develop commercially viable CO2 removal at the megaton scale, aimed at public and private sector offsetting and the carbon trading market."

> The zapping a brain with electrodes, sounds liked a more selective way of using ECT.

This method is entirely different than ECT. The researchers used an electrode to disrupt specific ruminative thoughts that were causing, or at least perpetuating, the patient’s depression.

It’s more analogous to traditional therapy methods applied by brute force at the physical level. Whereas traditional therapy would train patients to identify and break negative thoughts loops, this patient was apparently unable to do so. The brain implant physically disrupts part of the brain that contributes to those loops, opening the door for recovery from the self-defeating process.
A version of it keeps the same weekly hours - that means 25% more time on an already busy day, which complicates life when e.g. having kids that finish school early.

Another important aspect is that if retirement looks into days worked, you need to work 25% more hours to unlock benefits.

>> In a closed system, you can't reverse something by using less energy than that which went into creating it.

>> Basic physics. From that principle there's only one possibly conclusion when it comes to climate change: We can't do a damn thing about it.

I agree that the climate crisis is grim and that geoengineering is not a cure all. I do not think your reasoning makes much sense. Say it takes 100x as much energy to capture C02 as to create it. If the energy it takes does not warm the atmosphere it is not a problem. For example, if solar energy was removed to C02 it would not contribute to the warming of the planet either by directly releasing heat or a greenhouse gas.

That’s not really what this brain implant does. The patient was experiencing certain obsessive thought loops leading to depression. The brain implant was targeting at disrupting the thought loops allowing for recovery.

A brain implant that directly induced positive mood would be something else entirely. I suspect it could quickly lead to addictive behaviors as patients give up on naturally improving their condition and learn to rely on pressing the button for more happy thoughts instead.

What purpose would the methane serve?

Assuming it's possible to use this process on a home scale with a decent solar grid and energy storage, it seems to me that you would be sequestering the carbon only very temporarily. Wouldn't the electrical energy used to produce the methane heat your home more efficiently (assuming you have an electric heating system) as you would be inviting energy losses through the Sabatier process?

Seems you would need to produce industrial levels of methane and distribute it (which would almost certainly be carbon expensive in it's own right) as substitute for naturally occuring methane being extracted from deposits.

It's a cool idea though. If there were a process to produce solid carbon, this would be much more promising (disclaimer: definitely not a chemist).

> If you are poor with an overdue book, you really have no incentive to return it. You can't pay the fee so even if you return it you won't get use of the library.

My recollection from the last time I returned a library book late (decades ago) is that the fee was a certain amount per day late. In that case even if you cannot pay the fee there is still incentive to return the book as soon as possible because that stops the fee owed from growing, meaning it will be easier to eventually pay it off and get your library privileges restored.

Ask HN: Are you still using business cards or which alternatives have you tried?
Recently I had to decide if we would be using traditional paper business cards or something different (and perhaps even eco friendly). It seems that in Europe and especially parts of Asia people still expect business cards and not alternatives... some we thought of were:

Card with info printed on but also on nf and as a qr code (or with fancy conductive ink)

Goodies like USB Sticks/cards with pre prepared stuff

Useful everyday items like... aluminium Multitool cards, post it, bottle openers (not great for formal settings) or whatnot

Coins, wooden forms, alu poker chips and other alternative shapes and materials

Nothing-> exchange via mobile

Anyone has experiences or ideas on alternatives that engage?
