As a UX practitioner with engineering experience, I'm happy to see an article like this, but also a bit disheartened that in 2021 it's still a revelation for many that frustration, satisfaction, and cognitive load are key considerations in prioritization in addition to raw efficiency.
What is the Synod of Bishops? A Catholic priest and theologian explains
How so?

The internet makes it easier to hide your identity, automate attacks, and reach a large audience at practically no cost.

For example, if I want to influence Skippy peanut butter's review score online I can just leave fake reviews on a few dozen products on a few dozen websites with a few dozen (maybe hundred) fake accounts. Alternatively, I could make up something on social media and hope it goes viral. If I wanted to do the same in the physical world I'd have to pay for some massive marketing campaign which would trace right back to me.

Sure, and those industries make things.
What’s great is fiscal debt is just a meme we talked ourselves into believing matters.

Economics of real property is one thing, but fiat economics can be ad hoc manipulated in whatever direction the politi-sphere needs.

Debt at this point is used to put economic uncertainty in the masses.

Cheney even said the quiet part out loud; “Deficits don’t matter.”

It’s impossible to prove a negative; all future people
need to do is ask “What debt?” and legislate it away.

France did this once before. We don’t owe the dead.

Thanks. I am puzzling about this because of the experience of visiting a friend's this weekend, playing records on his turntable. Old records, low end turntable and speakers, but bizarrely the listening experience was strikingly better- more engaging, transporting, interesting- than my higher end digital setup. The records were noisy, to be sure, but it was almost that I could hear through the noise to actual musicians playing actual instruments. Like the cocktail party effect, my brain was more engaged by the experience of listening. Makes me wonder if adding noise to a digital system would for some use cases improve the experience.
Cool, I guess, but "scary" and as always a bit obnoxious to read about for me.

Anyway, it was fun to learn about the "obscure ARC architecture" used by the IoT devices in question. Unpacked to "Argonaut RISC Core", that made me curious enough to look it up since I hadn't heard of it. And sure enough, it was related to Argonaut as in "the UK game developers founded by Jez San" [1]. That's a really interesting development! :)

What do you mean by nose cam? I initially thought you meant "no noise" but you mention nose twice so I'm curious.
This was my issue when trying to learn clojure as well
I know some instrumental musicians who want to do original game or film soundtracks. Let me know of any suggestions or contacts.

That sounds quite a lot like a gambling problem, the same people could perform the same action with any other asset.
Similar experiences here. If you haven't, really can't emphasize the value of a good therapist, and gay men's group therapy if you can find it.

That said, I think the deep scar analogy is apt. While therapy has helped me immensely in dealing with some of my issues, those issues will always be there, so it's hard not to feel an immense amount of regret and "if only" thoughts wishing I had never been bullied in the first place.
I would say that's within a believable range of improvement (although on the high end).

We're playing with ESBuild at work, TS/React build that takes 45+ seconds to run with webpack cold, 8 second for a rebuild. With ESBuild/Gulp, the full gulp watch task will refresh in about 1.2 seconds, of which ESBuild ran for about .4 seconds.

So the builds are ~100 times faster with ESBuild, and we're just running it cold every time because it's so fast.

---

It's also really exciting for run-time based compilation. I've been playing around with a server-side React rendering project, and I literally just run esbuild in the controller action in development (some prebuilding for releases) and it's wonderful. Live updates in roughly .6 seconds on average, even for relatively heavy components.

plus, if you're careful with your react code, you can build a react codebase that will actually run if client-side JS is disabled (you can render it all serverside)
Not only that, but for location you can also choose between precise or general location.

These are not the same things, as anyone who works in logging and tracking will tell you. Just because there is some tracking of you, or an ability to track you does not mean that all activity could be noted or flagged. If I purchase from a new online vendor, how would my bank know if it was me or not?
No bullshit fear mongering HN comments on Bitcoin (yet)? What happened?

I suffered this problem 1 year ago and after raising issue in github I realized peertube wasn't designed from ground to be scaled horizontally. Not only upload video but harddisk is my concern like distributed storage is an after thought.

However I also acknowledge the authors are very open to ideas and they are really awesome. I guess some wizards who knows scaling related things need to be hired and it will costs a lot of money. AFAIK peertube generates money from donation so I don't think we should be harsh on them.
Use AI to understand what people like/dislike about your company and products
Again, I am not saying that instinct is better than research, I'm saying that just because something has been "researched" does not mean that it's true.

If there were research showing that putting certain plastics in the microwave were shown not to be harmful to humans, it wouldn't make a difference to me, because I still don't feel comfortable putting any kind of plastic in the microwave.
Tell that to the people that make the visa processes so complicated (I have first hand experience). It takes a lot of work and money, You can't travel easily (have to get stamps abroad at risk of loosing job if you get in administrative review), with some of the visas for the most talented people (O1) you have to exit the country immediately if you loose your job, why would you ever want to go over all that again unless you have ties in US (which often you didnt have time to make with 1-3 years visas). Also the tech scene is already popping out outside of US but as it is not english-first it is harder to observe from the US. Immigration policies for talented workers have gone from hard to repulsive and even if it gets reversed now (there isn't a lot to do, and the impact on the economy could be huge) it will take at least a decade to undo the damage... And this is not just the repeated attacks from the previous administration, this started way before.
I would add to the other poster - I use visa, and it is easy as well. I call, report a scam/fraud. Within 10 days the money is back on my card. I have never had an issue with this process.

My examples were anecdotal based on hiring practices in my current company doing embedded systems. I don't know of any resources that'd help you gnab a job as an EE. I would say be familiar with the basics, first and second order circuits. Op amp configurations, transistors, edge cases, timing, etc.
I don't disagree with you, and I should have written better that I use them as part of an overall evaluation process.

As an example how I use them. Some time ago I was looking into buying a audio hardware unit for music production (advanced hobbyist use I guess). Superficially, from the marketing copy and some reviews I have skimmed it had everything I wanted, like Midi in/out connectors.

Then I went to the 3 stars section and one of the first comments said:

"Great device, but had to return it, because it doesn't support part X of the MIDI protocol."

Whether this is written by a human or a bot is irrelevant. What matters is, if it is true and if it affects me. In this specific case it simply didn't matter to me, so ignored the comment. In case it would have, the comment would have served as a red flag to do further investigation to see if the claim is true.

I don't do an elaborate process on everything I buy, especially not low cost every day dispensable items (just buy different brands over time until I stumble upon one I like), but the more specialized the use case and the bigger the buy in and cost of reversing decision, the more I wish I had better tools to figure out whether a product/service actually matches my use case.
> we've lost Journalistic rigor, Logic, and Critical Thinking.

Take off your rose colored glasses and read your history more critically and you will realize that we never had it to begin with. Oh there were a few good journalists, some who knew logic, and sometimes people used critical thinking. However people are the same as people over all time. If anything we are slightly - just slightly better. We just remember the good parts of the olden days and forget the bad.
Suicide and depression are incredibly difficult things for anyone to address because they stem from unquantifiable things. When people feel like life is not worth living, despite having so many material goods and most of their basic needs taken care of, what is a government to do? Suicide and depression are high in developed, stable countries. Many people there have everything but feel there is no point to life. Our cultures of extreme nihilism which deemphasize the worth of human life are not something a government can fix even if desired.
You are right, even asking people from a country directly can give a really false impression due to the pattern you describe.
As someone who has lived both in the US as well as two european countries for equal parts of my life I know very well how easily views can become distorted by listening to single cases that are not representative.
It can also be an artifact of a foreign language. The french interrogatory form can be the same as the declarative. It seems likely in this case, their use of "therefore" is equivalent to the fench "alors" which is often employed to "interrogate a declaration"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_imprisonment_in_Norway

> The indeterminate penalty (civilian penal code), called "preventive detention" (Norwegian: forvaring), is set at up to 21 years' imprisonment, with no eligibility for parole for a time period not exceeding 14 years. If the prisoner is still considered dangerous after serving the original sentence, the detention can be extended by five years at a time. Renewal of the detention every five years can in theory result in actual life imprisonment.

I wish EA had spun Generals out into a separate IP, instead of treating its customers like idiots, with a result that was unfair to everyone: C&C fans didn’t get a follow up to RA2, and Generals got a ton of hate for reasons that had nothing to do with the actual game, which was a very good RTS with interesting factions and fun / clever mechanics.

Could have sworn I read an article a few months ago that suicide rates amongst Gen Z was increasing because of Covid lockdowns and social media causing depression/loneliness.

I’m not Gen Z nor are my friends, but they sometimes make me feel like they fall into this bucket of “should I check on them more often?” for the two items I laid out above.

Deep down I’m blaming social media for the increase in suicide amongst younger kids. It’s a pony show to them and they all want to outdo each other.

I went to a pumpkin patch over the weekend and two late teen girls spent an hour or so trying to get the best photos holding sunflowers. The place I was at let you pick your own sunflowers. These two girls were dressed up and proceeded to set up a camera stand for one of their cell phones that had a ring light around it. They spent that time trying to get the best photo to post to their IG pages and TikTok.

I get it that maybe they want to work on photography, but they spent way more effort and time than they should have when they were debating what to post to IG and TikTok.

It's my overall hypothesis that deleveraging events in crypto should happen more frequently and be less catastrophic systemically. The tether question not with standing, but I believe even if an event such as tether blowing up wouldn't be the end of crypto it would just birth a new thing over night to take its place.
You can use vite for that, which is an enhanced wrapper for esbuild. I use it on all of my projects except the ones I'm forced to use webpack on for legacy reasons.
“ Also, a record high of over 190,000 students of elementary and junior high schools stopped attending. “

I feel like we are entering an era where different communities are experiencing a feast or famine in regards to how they are flourishing in the ‘modern’ world. At the zoomed out earth-scale, it seems to be a darwinian process of discovering which behaviors will exist in a century (because the only vote that matters for the future is how well your children are doing, birth rates, etc.).
> not a single country went to colonise another for hundreds of years to make it freer, they went there to exploit it.

Generally speaking the colonisers established their colonies to access natural resources, being new agricultural techniques to undeveloped lands, and engage in trade. The culture of the coloniser naturally came along with them.

Even if there were no specific goal of bringing freedom that may still have been a side effect.
The slippery slope argument, which is already a logical fallacy, that digital censorship will lead to persecution is ridiculous.
+1 for Resilio Sync. Purchased a license 7 years ago and it still works today - how refreshing is that?

Lots of people love Syncthing and that is great for them, but I've always found btsync to be easier to use.
They spend a lot of resources on flu shots, the guess at the dominant strain of the year is often wrong, and for most people they're optional.
Banks usually charge .9-1.5% for cash deposits, plus staff time to count, insurance, safes, etc.

The same pressure those kids are feeling to succeed is the same pressure American men in their 30's and 40's feel to succeed and are killing themselves in record numbers.
The author wants to reduce demographic disparities in grades by making grading easier. That will not reduce disparities in actual learning and may increase them. Teachers should strive to be impartial and accurate in grading. Producing "equity" as in equal results is not their job.
It's tempting fate to say it, but I've not fallen for a scam, or a phishing attempt, and I've been subjected to many. Natural distrust and cynicism perhaps. I don't answer the phone to unknown numbers, I don't click links in emails, I don't do business at the door or over the phone, and I don't believe anything other people tell me (can report that my girlfriend hates this aspect of my personality).

The head of accounts in my previous company fell for a bank transfer scam (urgent payment request forwarded "from the CEO"), so I have seen it happen to young people, but I wouldn't say that person was "tech savvy". Being able to use a computer doesn't make you tech savvy, and I would say the number of tech savvy people is probably close to identical between younger and older age groups. Being intelligent in one aspect doesn't make you smart at everything else (which is why I avoid doing plumbing). What is missing is critical thinking and cynicism. I highly doubt most people check the full email source of anything they receive that looks important, but they should. People rely too heavily on technology to tell them when something is wrong, and they shouldn't.

The scam example you describe is easily avoided: don't enter your details in the fake package website in the first place. Don't answer the phone to the unknown number. Don't believe them when they say they're from the bank. Don't do anything anyone tells you to. And if they try to rush you, that should make you stop and think why.

I don't doubt the scams are getting pretty clever, but that doesn't mean the victims can't also be a bit stupid. Yes it's sad that they have fallen for it, but to shift all the blame elsewhere is unfair - we are ultimately responsible for our own actions.
Pretty good collection of questions. A bit weird with the the huge, hand drawn figures here and there in the questions section. Sometimes they seem to be illustrations, sometimes a partial solution.

Cool to see time borrowing included in the material.

One thing I jumped on was the questions related to Verilog. This document is (c) 2021, but uses module declarations, syntax etc from Verilog pre 2001 (1995-ish). OTOH it actually teaches building FSMs with two processes, which is good to see.

Also, there are quite a few minor errors in the material. Spelling etc. But overall a good set of digital electronics and VLSI questions.

I can't say anything proactive about this situation.. but I can say things.
Do you find that the emotional juice of a situation is more primary than the logic of a situation? Like, people feel something and then rationalize the logic to justify their feeling.
I have found that using feelingswheel to get a firmer grasp on the specific emotional chords, connections and common "songs" I tend to play, etc, has increased my ability to identify and categorize emotions on a finer level.
Categorization is the least thing that must be done in order to process hurt. The brain will try to process a situation until it understands it, and it can require using emotional intuition to identify the exact feeling, as if it were a chord played on a piano, where some notes are hit more than others.
It's important to categorize granular feelings (like indignant is a form of anger whereby you're upset that something is unfair) (embarassment can be a sad hurt or a disapproving disgust) (some feelings lead to other feelings) (dismissive anger is repressed by default from feeling like anger)
Some people don't have true feelings, because they will automatically convert one feeling to another. Instead of feeling angry sometimes and happy other times, they feel the liminal angry/happy feeling that feels like a mecurial wire of an emotion. For instance: if they're happy, they become angry that they aren't happy more often; if they're angry about something, they're glad that they finally have something to be mad about.
Mule was a beautiful game. Never had the chance to play it as four live players only two. Think that would have been a blast.
Layr.js is trying to take on something in this middle space. It basically hides either end from you and is still hard to reason about. Only mongodb is supported now. And yes I much prefer the option of having many community made packages over one supported way.

At this point I think we should leave the 'debate' to the scientists, and follow concensus advice.
The modern media landscape is sub-optimal.

Seeing all these surveys that show that the more you consume media the less you know is extremely sad. I don’t think there are any short term solutions.
ECS is for me the natural way to design games. I wouldn't even know to design them any other way.

I started game dev with love2d which is a pretty minimalist framework. When I participated in a game jam, I needed a very flexible system that would allow for quick prototyping and would handle many different entities. I ended up writing something which I later realized would be an ECS system. It worked great and I would copy it over for other games.

I know there is that ECS-faction that is talking about performance benefit and stuff but honestly I don't care. I don't even know most of the terminology these people use. I just use ECS to structure my code while being very flexible. I use OO in other domains but it would never occur to me to structure games that way. OO just feels way to brittle for a domain where you do lot's of experimentation and can't really know what you will need and how your entities might end up looking.
> Part of good design is that it's discoverable.

A more fitting term here, perhaps, is "affordance" (though "discoverable" is also accurate, but "affordance" is a more technical term here).

A mug without a handle can burn your hand. Adding the handle is a way to avoid that. The handle itself is usually designed to look like a handle. It's clear what the handle does, based solely on its form. You don't need a manual or an example or a hint to use the handle - most people, intuitively, will use the handle as intended.

The handle has "affordance". Waving your hand over the top of a computer in order to use a 'button', in contrast, has little to no affordance. The comma on this site acting as a button has no affordance. And so on.
As you make something cheaper demand for it goes up. Easy to forget about it when you try to calculate the value of automation. I'd say in most cases automation pays off if you do it properly, not to do the intended task but to do all the unintended tasks, reusing the automation code for later, reducing errors from manual work and opens up doors for new product design paths in the future.

This assumes that you actually own the product, if you don't own the product and just have a job to do then why bother about saving time, so in this case you should still automate it because automation is more fun.
Out of curiosity, does anybody know how Apple laptops got updated with the replacement for the let's encrypt certificate?

I was surprised to discover that my wife's machine had not automatically updated, several of her websites went inaccessible on September 30th, and I had to do the update manually. I'm not sure what step we missed that and updated certificate wasn't automatically sent to her.
