> Sunlight in your eyes within 30 minutes of waking up

Sure, that's super easy in summer. I wake up naturally no problem when the rise is up. I've thought many times of getting sun-equivalent lights that I can schedule to turn on for this reason.
Does e.g. the memory model allow for a highly parallel architecture, with a ton of execution units and possible OoO execution?

If it does, would it be a pain to program for (see Cell)?
I think you're dead wrong on this. Mark Zuckerburg is actually in an almost unique position that he has full control of facebook, so he can do literally anything he wants. He doesn't have to prioritize profit or shareholder value, he could sit in his board meeting just continually insulting his board's family members. He really does believe in what he's doing.

The problem is that sitting in your basement coding in PHP isn't going to give you the right grounding in psychology, sociology, and politics that runninng a social network will need. Being a billionaire at the age of 23 also doesn't give you a great lesson in how to learn from mistakes, and take criticism. All the way through his management of facebook Mark has been getting dragged through lessons about life that only a teenage boy in his bedroom needed to learn because he never got a life to learn them.

Magnesium (in the form of ZMA) is known to increase the vividness of dreams for some reason. Or maybe it's something else in ZMA. I did take it daily when I was lifting heavy, and I can confirm. It's a side benefit in my book, unless your dreams are nightmares.

Looking past the moral question of whether people should police their own private behaviour like this, there are reasons you might need to take a nude/intimate photo. If you're ill, if you've found a lump, etc., and you can't get a face-to-face appointment with a doctor, taking a photo is probably the best way to illustrate what's wrong.
Perhaps it has improved but you don't remember how it was before... oh, wait...
Looks interesting. I will give it a whirl this evening.

Do you know of any tool that might visualise the whole set of infrastructure in AWS for example?

Is it time for a “not enough just running” manifesto?
Recently I read some articles (https://blog.royalsloth.eu/posts/it-takes-a-phd-to-develop-that/, https://www.zdnet.com/article/another-reason-why-developers-are-quitting-to-escape-from-your-bad-code/, to name a few) about the quality of software and that made me to wonder: is it time for a "not enough just running" manifesto?

IMHO, it is about damn time!
It's sarcasm my dude. Twitch is notorious for giving female streamers a pass when it comes to nudity or inappropriate behavior, all the while banning male members for accidentally clicking on a NSFW link and it being shown on steam for seconds.
Yes, but they're not proofs in the mathematical sense, since there's always an (exponentially-shrinking) chance that the answers were only correct due to coincidence.
If I would write down every bug I produced I would have filled a decently sized book by now.

But debugging has some additional functions. If you interface your standard wep-api, you might want to take a look at the response. Yes, you could do that without a debugger, but I would argue it is more convinient. That expands to anything that is a blackbox to you.

Stopping execution and taking a look at the state of the program is a decent tool I would not want to miss.

In some languages you have an insane amount of dependencies and you need something to evaluate the behavior of those submodules.

For pure algorithmic and determinist programs the statement of Dijekstra is true, but you often don't have it in reality. A server sending you garbled responses might garble you program too.

You also become blind to your own code. You think it does something that isn't reflected in code. You think this regex certainly matches the input, but it just doesn't because you forgot something. Reading again might not help.

So, not human error, but inadequate leadership, which is also a human error.

In the case of "Macron", forward was clearly "right", as it was mostly about getting rid or reducing social schemes. In France, "neither right nor left" generally means "right".

Actually, Telegram already does that. Similar to how your gmail account is automatically deleted after a certain time.
I deleted my Facebook account straight after the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Now I just have a fake one as I got an Oculus for my birthday and I also use Facebook to access the Marketplace as Kijiji and Craigslist are sometimes really dry in my area as most people use FB market.

For me the benefit of using tabs over bookmarks is that from the order of the tabs you can figure out what you were doing at the time. With tabs it's also quicker to go back later and close what you no longer need.

> For instance they barely have any manifesto, instead presidents have manifestos, but that's meaningless if the party members don't agree hence why shit is always being "blocked by Congress" in the USA when you rarely see that in other countries

I don't think that's really unique to the US. That's an inherent problem with presidential systems–the President and Congress are independently elected, and so they can be controlled by different parties, and even being controlled by the same party is no guarantee they will cooperate–and presidential systems are very common in the Americas–most Latin American countries have the same system. I'd be surprised if Latin American countries don't have some of these same problems with "political gridlock" that the US does.
Yes you can.

I suspect that building a CPU from scratch, without a ton of legacy, may allow for greater efficiency, both per watt and in absolute speed. This is how RISC-V designs can percolate from embedded world to laptop and even datacenter world, much like ARM did before it.
That's economically right, but socially left. I haven't really seen anything conservative coming from Macron. I don't see how he's from the right.
Use a pneumatic hammer drill, you can find out which one is pneumatic by checking the head. It should be SDS. Rotary heads can not be used on hammer drills.
If you regularly have to wake up to pee at night you might have some other issues (like diabetes). You should visit a doctor.
I always drink a glass of water before sleeping and never have to pee before morning. I'm not sure that's normal. How how are you drinking right before going to bed?
The National Assembly scores wasn't a surprise, since presidential mandate last 5 years like the AN's deputies mandate and the AN elections come right after the presidential election we haven't see any cohabitation government like it was the case in the past when the presidential mandate lasted 7 years. And LREM, which is easy to place as centrist, is full of recruits that come from the PS (Socialist Party) and LR (The Republican, last name in date of the main party from the right). And LREM got the support of classic center party like the MODEM which get many members promoted in the current government structures.
So any filter algorithm would be okay if open source?
>Deleting WhatsApp, [...], has resulted in many people I know joining Signal or Telegram — the network effect can be broken by being belligerent.

This practical application of your advice depends on where a particular person sits in their social hierarchy.

E.g. an influential person that's a "hub" or "connector" in their social circle can switch from WhatsApp to Signal ... or insist on email only ... or insist on no email and only hardcopy snail mail (Donald Knuth) -- and others will follow their lead or accommodate them.

On the other hand, if you're one of the folks at the "spokes" or "edges" of social graphs... being defiant by deleting WhatsApp doesn't accomplish anything because others don't care to switch to reach you.

The above difference in social influence happens in Asia countries where many use WhatsApp beyond personal relationships for business to sell items or find work. If the business contacts you depend on for getting income use WhatsApp, you deleting WhatsApp just means you get $0 because they'd rather deal with other vendors who don't force them the hassle of switching to Signal. Power and leverage in social graphs matter.
No. At least when I was there, the linux kernel was in git, and reviews were done in Gerrit.

The monorepo (google3) and its review tools were used for most other projects.
Scottish university fees are a similar system. If you are scottish, fees are government paid. The EU forbids treating direct citizens favourably vs other EU citizens, therefore they were required to offer the same to citizens of other EU countries.

Since the EU member was the UK, not Scotland, how they treated _other_ UK citizens was considered an internal matter. So if you were English, Welsh, Northern Irish or non-EU you had to pay, if you were Scottish or other EU nationalities you were paid for.
9 Figma Design System Tips
If you want to see some FPGA emulator monsters, look at Cadence Palladium, or Mentor/Siemens Veloche.

They contain hundreds up to many thousands of FPGAs. Using support dev tools, you can take a large ASIC design and partition it over these FPGAs.

We once used four interconnected machines like these to emulate a large superscalar, OOO CPU design. It took a few days, but could go from release of reset to loaded OS. Something impossible with a SW simulation. Fun times.
I hope I didn't misread the numbers but to my understanding it's just what they get from twitch directly (ads/subscriptions share), most streamers probably make significant amounts in donations on top of that, and probably have secondary revenue streams via YouTube (stream highlights etc.)
Kommunity – Meetup Alternative
No more than a) barman sells beer to 20 year sold in USA (1), b) someone leaks a photo of it, c) the authorities find out, d) the twit gets charged.

I actually think they may need to use a different kind of glass or something in the future because people spend so much time indoors that they aren't getting exposed to the UV that induces the D3 production or whatever. And normal glass blocks it.

Man, I was able to go from barely able to wake up with alarm at 8:30 to waking up at 7 or even before by my own, even on weekend when I was up a little longer. And all it took was to force my self 2 times to get out of bed and have a coffee on the balcony to soak up the sun. That podcast is golden. I think the main help was to be able to go to sleep earlier thanks to tuning the system. I feel tired at 10-11 PM. That never happened to me before.

Indeed. You can measure ambient light with your phone: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vonglasow.michael.satsta...

Pointing my phone towards the sun gives upward of 4000 lux, whereas the two bulbs in my room barely add up to 1000 from 1m away.
I Designed Algorithms at Facebook. Here’s How to Regulate Them
No, actually, it's not any of these things. It's on HN that dang applies special rules to your comments if he doesn't like you. FB's algorithm is impersonal.

Your list of criteria is legally inactionable. Neither you nor anyone else can write down what precisely it is that FB should be prohibited from doing. All I see is a bunch of unproductive rhetoric about how this is bad or that is bad. Blah blah, filter bubbles, moderation, whatever.

What is the exact definition of the criteria you would use to prohibit ranking algorithms?
Yes! Our municipality building has a dusty basement room full of them and there are a handful of companies still producing new ones (although expensive).

But even better, just get those <100$ ARM/baytrail laptops and have them boot straight into a kernel with no network stack and launch only Xorg and AbiWord.
A channel I mod got a 1-day suspension because you could see the crack of a drunk guy mooning them (despite instantly stopping the stream and deleting the VOD before starting again). A few weeks before, two girls flashed them. That obviously did not warrant a ban.

I don't think these narratives are ever definitive, but I think this rendition isn't really operative.

>> Social rights advocacy usually goes hand in hand with far-left positions

Maybe to some extent, but mostly I think this is a product of being "in opposition." You get to be more blunt, fiery & vanguard in your rhetoric when you are in opposition. Also party fringes tend to group somewhat.

In any case, "centrism" has been relative to a previously conservative economic outlook and a previously liberal social outlook. A party representing the economic left wing agenda combined with the social conservative social agenda of the 1950s-80s would have bombed in the following decades.

Maybe "elite ideology" has been further right economically and further left socially than the mainstream... but that position tends to be well represented as centrist factions of large parties.

There aren't fringe factions representing these positions because mainstream parties already do. The UK does actually have such a party, the Libdems. They sometimes act as punisher for labour or tory candidates that stray from the middle ground. IE, they get labour votes when the labour candidate is overly radical in rhetoric, and conservative votes if the conservative candidate is overly reactionary. But, any recent British PM would have been at home in the LibDem party.

There's no need for a centrist party that defines political orientation the same way the main factions do. Even in real multiparty systems, this kind of centrism is usually a small, short lived and inconsequential victory. The problem isn't that the ideas aren't popular enough. They're too popular. Both major parties already court these voters.

> Sunlight in your eyes within 30 minutes of waking up.

I live in Florida - our license plates don’t call it the sunshine state for nothing - but even here the sun doesn’t rise at 5am. Short of blasting my retinas with bright lights soon after reveille, I don’t see where I’m going to obtain sunlight this early in the morning.

(It’s 07:21 local time now, and the sun is just now coming up. It’ll be a beautiful sunrise, but I’ve already been awake 2.5 hours…)
Nope. This was in PLT scheme. Fixnums were eq? to other fixnums, meaning they satisfied the most basic equality.

70% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings. Many of the people who most benefit from libraries live paycheck to paycheck and libraries want to help those people and want those people to use their services. That's a major portion of the target market. These people have a hard time saving as they don't have any significant excess income. As they say, it's expensive to be poor.

It is not only unreasonable ands unrealistic to expect these people to be able to save up a $200 deposit, it is also bad customer experience and restricting libraries' market access. If libraries were a tech company any decent product owner would shoot down the idea in a flash.

Messaging clients tend to be regional. WhatsApp is massive in Europe. From what I gather WeChat is dominant in mainland China but Hong Kong still used WhatsApp (though I think they might be coming round to Signal?) and the US, who have a higher ratio of Apple users vs the rest of the world, tend to use iMessage a lot more.

I do. I work 4 days a week and would love to spend Fridays with my kid. That would mean three full days a week spending time with my family. Now, I just do errands and 'home admin' on Fridays and take weekend trips with the family. Still better than 5 days work a week.
