There is a simpler layman's explanation for this one. As you get older every second of your life starts being a smaller percentage of your overall experience.
When you a 2 years old, 1 hour is 1/17520 of your life.
When you are 50 years old, 1 hour is 1/438000 of your life.
I think we've reached the end of fruitful discussion.

The "nonrivalrous consumption" part is genuinely how the term is defined in Economics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good_(economics)

The term has since been morphed/co-opted into meaning something like "good for the public" in political discourse, deeply frustrating economists, and making these kinds of discussions difficult to have.

Start reading from "There's a lot of confusion around the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine."

Most relevant quote:
"Moreover, there are no known neurobiological differences in action between METH and AMPH that would account for the [supposedly] greater addictive, rewarding, or psychomotor properties of METH."
By virtue of Turing completeness there's nothing you can do in Excel that you can't do in a program. It's all a matter of speed.

Having seen Excel wizards work their magic before, the dizzying ways they can slice and dice their data with the help of a combination of GUI affordances, formulas, and hot keys is truly astounding. Often times a person could build out a full set of data and charts in half an hour that might be something like > 100 lines of equivalent Python/Pandas code.

And crucially often the report would have less bugs than the equivalent code because the analyst could see all the data in front of them as they were manipulating it and would naturally do spot checks along the way.

Now note the "some" in that statement. A Python/Pandas master could also probably whip up the equivalent > 100 lines in half an hour. But it was really astounding just how fast Excel experts worked.
> you can do multiple 24-hour fasts and get the same experience from a health point of view

NO, that's incorrect. The length matters a lot. In fact, a major change occurs after the 2-3 day mark, when body glycogen stores are depleted and your body shifts to ketosis etc. Another major marker has to do with when a much coveted state called autophagy is activated.
I'm not going to tell you that you should have kids, but my experience is that I can still have time for "geeking out" if I do it with my kids. This is going to vary depending on their age, but currently they like to watch me play games, so I pick games based on what I think they will enjoy.

Similarly, it's fun to read a book around the same time as my wife, and then we can have a sort of "book club" discussion.

If I want to play something too scary for kids, I sacrifice sleep, so you win some you lose some lol.
People in the control group of this study start with an average BMI of 25.2, the ADF groups with 25.48. Common BMI ranges classify scores greater 25 as overweight. Are there any studies of effect of fasting on normal weight people? Anyone here with a BMI of 20 that has experiences to share?
US could be really great in theory, like you say. China is good in practice. In the US, we value being able to insult leaders as part of "freedom of speech." In China, they accept a paternalistic guidance that ignores dissent for the sake of actual progress. In the US, we celebrate childish squabbling among our leaders, while China builds high speed rail and nuclear power. The CPC's progress has been extraordinary. They've done more to improve the lives of more people than any government in the past 30 years.

Pretend you're an alien visiting the Earth in 2021. Can you honestly say that they'd find the US to have better governance? I see China as a modern tech company that bans political conversations in the workplace in order to get shit done. The US is some hippie-dippie Biosphere 2 "democratic" process that just leads to infighting and stagnation.
Would be interesting if basically a new school of astronomy came out - new institutions etc.

Identify all the astronomers talking about SpaceX ruining things. Eliminate them from funding. Add some new players.

Go big on space based observation, targeting both Falcon 9 payload sizes and future Starship sizes.

Someone needs to seriously look at the costs of getting a 240' pad going on earth for the thirty meter telescope for example, and what it would cost to just go to space with some of these things. What are the fundamentals here that make something like the TMT a $3B project?

If you look at mirror quality on something like an EUV machine, it's equivalent in my view to the precision needed for astronomy (obviously some size differences, but the control loops, speed and precision are extremely good). ASML can do 50 machines a year and the old line astro folks take 20-30 years for one and then are yelling about cheap access to space (which one would think would be a positive net net for astronomy.)
Well, it's open source and they aren't going to extinguish JavaScript anytime soon. So I don't see how it would apply here.
"Puts a target on the back of anyone that earns a lot of money but doesn't live in a high security bunker"

I find this unconvincing - firstly, most crime happens in poor neighbourhoods.

Secondly, you don't need to know someone's salary to tell apart a rich neighbourhood or house from a poor one.

Thirdly, high salary does not mean you have anything to steal, my friend earns a lot but all him money is in mortgage, stocks or in the bank. All you could steal from his house is a laptop.

Lastly, even if everything you said was true, it doesn't mean we should cower and hide, it means police are not doing their job well enough.
“Attempting to aggressively silence.” What do you think will happen once they get his personal info? Do you think they’ll invite him to dinner and try to persuade him over a bottle of wine to change his article?
Looks like the i5-12600K is the real value play for Intel's 12th gen. It essentially beats Ryzen 5600X at similar power consumption. LTT review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EogHCFd7w0

That said, the cost of ownership is likely much higher for Intel vs. AMD - due to requiring DDR5 RAM and new motherboard.
I've been joking that I was going to find a way to mount my iPad to the handle bars of my eBike since that seems to be a requirement for EVs.
Ask HN: Former Video Game Developer wannabies, where are you now?
I used to dream about building games professionally. Now with a handful of years in Front End engineering, the idea sounds absolutely painful.

Long hard hours, less pay, probably a lot arguing about the same mechanic for months on end, your contribution is overall meaningless unless you go indie, in which case you adopt even more risk.

Anyone out there still holding on to hop of becoming a game developer?
I'm thinking about converting to a modern IDE away from emacs-nox.

What can they do that emacs can't?
Angular kind of lost me in the rxjs move. I had been using it since v1 and used 2-7 but fell off the wagon around that point when I switched jobs and fell in love with Vue 2. I had used Vue 1 and enjoyed it but I only used it on a side project so I never fully learned it. For me, Vue felt much lighter than Angular and I could move faster. I really prefer the 1 .vue file for a page/component's HTML/(S)CSS/Typescript (though I know some people hate that).

I still have yet to move anything to Vue 3 since it's TS support is different than Vue 2 (I currently prefer class-based components and it doesn't appear like Vue 3 plays nice with that, or at least last I checked none of the libraries I use have been updated). Eventually I'll bite the bullet on Vue 3 but for now I'm extremely happy on 2.
Intel didn't use 100% performance cores because apparently they felt they could get more performance from the little cores (which are literally smaller, you can fit more in a given area on the die)

Shouldn't that be obvious, it's practically a tautology
Strabismus Surgery?
Ah, my sincerest apologies. I guess it was hard for me to see it through any other lens, I was very much expecting a technophile versus traditionalist discourse to break out in this thread and so I was primed to read your words just one way. I even re-read your comment after others were discussing mine to make sure I wasn't being an idiot and was still certain. I suppose I was being an idiot!

Sorry again, I shouldn't have been snarky in either case, I was just so darn ready to have that discussion.
I'm curious what planning you mean? I do it without planning and haven't had an issue.
Never seen a rich person working a cleaning job either. Should we ban those?
> and Vivaldi for stuff I need more security).

I agree with you on almost everything except Vivaldi. They are closed source and Firefox is 100% much more capable of supporting privacy than Vivaldi.

I have my own problems with Firefox but don't intend to stop using Firefox. They are still great. I will have to see this through I feel. lol.

Also, when you use a browser based on Blink engine (Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, Edge, Chromium) you are giving more leverage to Google at W3C. This makes FLoC kind of stuff more probable from Google.

"You need to change the browser engine as well, NOT JUST THE BROWSER." ;)

Always choose Gecko or Gecko based (like Librewolf) :)
One suggestion I would love is to see a command like 'inn 10', giving the GM a list of 10 names to choose from.

Very cool project!
> Maybe in some third-world crime infested countries?

Like Seattle and San Francisco? This isn't a third world problem, unless you consider these cities to be third world.
As a consultant in the 90s, I had to go to hundreds of client locations all over the Bay Area. I had a Thomas map book for each county and had to waste much brain space and time figuring it all out. Going back seems insanely primitive.
FOIA Request Shows How Much Data FBI Can Obtain from Cellphone Service Providers
What the Romans Did for Us, Adam Hart-Davis / BBC (2006)
If you want to set your kid to succeed at spelling tests per se (and he doesn’t have enough past reading/writing experience to know the words already), you could get a list of likely words a few months in advance and put them into some kind of spaced repetition system (whether electronic or based on paper flash cards).

You’ll pay back your initial time investment within a month or two, and you’ll end up with a dramatic improvement to efficiency and long-term retention, as well as teaching a useful tool/skill that can be put to good effect if the kid ever needs to memorize trivia for med school or bar quizzes.

Trying to cram-learn a new list of miscellaneous things every week is a fool’s game. The key to human memory is connections, context, and repeated exposure, not brute-force effort.

Personally I always just read science fiction books hidden in my lap during spelling time in school, and my teachers gave up on trying to get me to study lists of words I already knew how to spell. My older brother’s strategy was to just do poorly on spelling tests because he thought it was a waste of time: never seemed to hurt him, and decades later he can spell as well as anyone. YMMV.
I have realized recently that a value that is gaining a lot of importance for me is the stability of my cognitive investments, in terms of tooling, across a time frame that goes beyond my "current project", and more into the "my entire career" territory. In that sense, I feel more and more that the choice of learning and owning Emacs, more than 20 years ago, while in school, has paid off tremendously, in the sense that it has always constituted a solid and consistent backbone from which I can always start a new project, no matter what the context is (corporate or personal). I feel this would have been harder to achieve with a tool which is asking me to update it every 3 days, and which periodically introduce important paradigm changes forcing me to reconsider the way I work. In short, I value Emacs' stability and consistency across time and tech fashions more than anything else, as I grow older.
Great points! I think rug pulls or outlandish concepts for NFTs are unfortunate for sure. We have a public beta and by the time the NFT drop is out, we will be fully launched, so at least there will be a project to showcase our work. We are working with a fairly well known defi engineer so I am confident that our strategy will have a chance at success! Thanks for the comment!
These biased sites will declare Intel the winner despite the higher cost in motherboard, CPU, power usage, cost to overclock, and heat creation. These tech sites are obviously nothing but product shilling sites with a cheap veneer that relies on their old reputation, but after seeing them all saying the opposite of reality with Ryzen, I won't give them clicks and I won't buy Intel again.
So still solidly entrenched in the second era of Netburst.

So Intel is chasing AMD...But AMD is actually chasing Apple now. So Intel has two frogs to jump this time.

AMD has a real opportunity at long term strategic victory in computing. If they can be the leader in a mass shift of the Windows/PC ecosystem in an ISA change to ARM then Intel might be toast.

Let's say AMD gets a near-M1 chip out quickly with the same gee-whiz battery life out 18 months before Intel, and can produce them at a cost the Intel's business people sniff at because they are so fat on margins, even now.

And servers and laptops swarm the market such that it becomes an inevitability that mainstream PC/Servers will go ARM as the dominant ISA.

Intel will be in deep trouble.

It also would be an opportunity for Apple to dominate the PC market with OSX by making a more general-hardware OS, but they won't do that.

And of course it is YET ANOTHER opportunity by desktop Linux to gain a foothold, but at this point it's more likely that Android or an evolved Windows-that-is-99% linux becomes that.
That sums up the entirety of the "metaverse."

Zuckerberg's business model isn't making products that people want, it's selling marketing and finance people the lies they want to hear.

No one is going to a zoom meeting in a Facebook virtual reality world. In fact, no one is going to a virtual reality world period, it's a failed concept from the 1990s right up until today. But the fact remains that Facebook is only valued by an audience that will soon be dead (boomers who like posting about politics all day), so they have to have some carrot to dangle which distracts from that reality.
> You would probably be more productive in VS Code with an empty config.

Org mode is the main productivity multiplier. How do I do that in VS Code?

Any time I read a comment where VSCode is the obvious alternative to Emacs, it's a clear sign the commenter knows little of Emacs.

Take a look at last year's EmacsConf and count how many of the talks are about SW development (hint - minority). A very large number of Emacs users do not use it for SW development, and stating they'd be more productive in VS Code is simply false.
Firefox does not receive orders from Google (except the default search). All decisions and code are independent.
What are the climate implications of global fasting?
I really don't feel this at all. I am constantly doing new things, constantly learning things, and time feels like it stretches on forever. I'm over 40, so this isn't the effect of me just starting my career.

10 years ago feels 10 years ago, and this effect of time speeding up just doesn't register with me.
If the architects of Anuglar >=2 are the same people then i do not have high hopes, they probably fixed some of the issues but for me personally the architecture is broken.
Let me know if they brought some competent(for this task) developer for angular2 and I might have a bit of hope but I would never chose angular if I ever had a chance to start something new.
Don't open your store in a mall. What if the mall closes or raises your rent?! (sarcasm!)
Most resumes only get looked at for 6 seconds before they end up in the discard pile.

You want to fix your resume so that that quick glance is enough to make you look interesting.

That means:
- Having a summary section at the top that highlights somethings special about you (which shows you'll be a valuable employee). Anything that shows initiative or curiosity is a big win here.
- The work/project experience sections should call out projects that you've worked on. The online title describing what it does is what matters. No one will look at your code. No one will click on your links (unless they find you really intriguing). They'll make a judgement based on the text and what they assume you actually did on each project, so simple is fine.

So what does this mean for projects? Work on the stuff you find most interesting. Whatever scratches your itch
It could be argued that the basis of taxes paid are also a matter of transparent government
I enjoyed "Rise of the Centaur", a documentary about a company that develops an intel compatible microprocessor.
Just posted my own answer with this before seeing this comment, I watched just a few days ago. Decent movie but as I said above it felt like more of a cautionary tale rather than motivational.
This is such a cliche answer! Ofcourse we know who the target customers are, funding would help in hiring and building more features. Thus increasing the value for the customer and the probability of success.
My country's TLD (.pt) holds Portuguese courts as the ultimate arbitrator. There are simpler administrative procedures for suspending or claiming domains, but in case of conflict courts have the final word.

I imagine most countries' TLDs operate in the same fashion.
Yeah, I feel like crate motor is a misnomer here. When I think of crate motor, I think of something that has everything necessary to put it into a chassis and crank it over.

Not including a traction inverter or control system is like buying a LS crate engine without an ECU.
It’s not immediately obvious to me why this would result in the perception that time moves more quickly.

The theory in the article did strike me as quite plausible.
Do you have a reference for this? It seems hard to believe. But if it's true, it's mind-boggling.
Here's the major benefit of investing long-term into emacs.

Not only do I have virtually the same, infinitely configurable interface for coding in any language, I also have that interface for most things I need to do in my workday. On top of coding in my day-to-day I:

- manage my task lists

- manage clients and projects

- keep a daily journal and other notes

- draft documents and create templates

- search through or replace in multiple documents

- navigate directories and manage files

- do quick calculations and tables

- and much more

All using the same interface, without having to reach for a mouse or switch to a different program. The amount of cognitive load and context switching this reduces is great.

The only other tool I use that is as flexible is the web browser, but it's nowhere near as consistent.

Of course it's emacs, so if I chose to I could also manage emails, newslists, blogposts, pong, etc. etc.

If I'm playing with a language that is much better served by an IDE or vscode, then I can always use it for that language. However I find that a) those features that made me want to switch weren't worth losing the other powers and I eventually end up back in emacs; and b) often the language's emacs package will eventually end up with that feature anyway.

It is absolutely worth the investment.

No, you're not going see this benefit in the first month of learning it. It'll be incremental over years of using it.

As far as configuration goes - Yes, you can spend lots of time in configuration, just like new linux users tend to spend years distrohopping. But it's not necessary. I suggest that if you learn vanilla emacs first, you'll figure out which keybindings you really need to change later on.

My configuration has been stable for years, and the only time I need to edit it is if I've added configuration for a new package. I don't use overlays like evil or doom, so perhaps this provides a bit more stability, I don't know.
I agree with humans and process, just from a shift-left perspective , the specific ones that have become typical no longer need people.

Take a look at how AWS/Azure Marketplace programs and supporting vendors are using certified components and automation in multiple layers to get rid of most of the craft. It's possible.

People does make sense for parts, but we need to cut that part down by a ton I effort and $. I might feel better about the third party thing if the NSA started, as part of their cyber def responsibility, to provide free annual audits upon request (assuming heavy automation as per above) . We should be pushing to enable one-man shops to do this stuff, even if that makes tighter happy paths for how they build and run. Vendors can compete to make their stuff easy to add to that happy path and value add beyond the regulatory lockin.
That article is saying that's there's just more and cheaper meth, with the same chemical structure as always but less of the non-psychoactive enantiomer. That the "chemical structure changed" was in another bullshit article that popped up here a few days before and it's just not what's going on with the meth supply chain.
> The doctor was telling me the last part and I was staring at her like she was insane; "wait.. while I'm awake?!?

Holy hell, NOPE. I'm very glad I was under the whole time when I had my strabismus surgeries as a child, because I'm pretty sure I would be psychologically scarred for life.
Another hunch that I have is that as you get older you tend to have less unique experiences. I believe our brains compress the information and an entire day that was much like the previous day can just feel like it sped by quickly. Alternatively, if you go on vacation or change your routine then time will slow down as you process a lot of new information.
I did hold that belief for some time, but I solved it with the most reliable notification-method I came across thus far, and that's plain simple email from my own domain.

I understand this is not possible for specific apps that need smartphone notifications to function properly, but when you think about it: a lot of (web)apps don't need that.

In general, one might need less notifications than one thinks.
I'm planning to use the next time I move to a new computer to switch to Doom Emacs and start over with some of my other, old dotfiles, too
I audibly chuckled at your comment. Thanks for the laugh !
> Adding logical registers breaks backwards compatibility

This, plus adding logical registers increases instruction size and therefore decreases the number of instructions that can be fetched with a given memory bandwidth.
My fun fun eye surgery was to remove a stye that had hardened into a chalazion. This didn't involve any actual needle/scalpel work on the eye itself, but did require flipping my eyelid inside-out and cutting into the back with a scalpel. The local anaesthetic worked great. A side effect of the eyelid-flip (I think) was that my eye rolled into a position that wasn't seeing anything.

Overall, it was kinda like going to the dentist, but I could keep chatting with the doctor through the whole thing. The ability to keep communicating was great for keeping things chill. (However, one must be careful not to laugh while there's a scalpel near one's eye.)
I don't think it's technically salary but tax information. From which it's easy to reverse-engineer salary (since for most people income==salary)

It could be argued that transparency in taxes collected is a positive thing for a society.
