That's just not true. The reptile brain is a thing, yes, but you absolutely can counter it with practice and logic. It's comfortable to delude yourself that you have no free will in this instance but you do.

When I'm not working I'm learning how to be a meditation (MBSR) teacher and we spend a lot of time looking at the amygdala, fight / flight, how to counter "real" physical symptoms, how to sit quietly in meditation for minutes, then tens of minutes, then hours on end. All of this is trainable, including our responses to external factors like addictive systems such as the mobile / digital / social ecosystem.

I'm very far from perfect but I try - and succeed most days - to keep my mobile use down to 2 hours, never work evenings or weekends, and try where I can to seek out deliberate stillness (some call it "boredom"). I go for a walk without my phone. I leave my phone downstairs when I sleep. I've given up social media - in fact really my only vice now is HN :-) - I absolutely do have a choice in how I deal with all this. It isn't easy, but it is a choice.
Both camps say exactly what you said, blaming politicians glorified by other camp. Not voting is not a virtue, especially when nobody comes up with sensible program. Easiest way to disconnect mentally from this hate race is not to watch TV :)
That’s not how they work: each row must be able to display the same information as it will slowly shift towards the top of the billboard.

To add a new station (not such a frequent event in Switzerland) you need to modify the blades of -each- element.

Holding up quite well despite HN frontpage. I love what a bit of caching can do.

EDIT: appears I jinxed it. I get the allure of hosting something in your home, but these days when you can get a decent VPS for $10/yr it doesn’t really make sense.
Rich parents don’t want epoch changing discoveries, they want good wealth management.
Maybe that's why I found this article kind of weird or off-putting. A lot of these things, if they happened or didn't happen, would have meant I wouldn't be alive and thus I wouldn't know to be unhappy about it.
If you look closely at the Agisoft test, you will see that it does not exceed 35W until first dropping under 35W, and indeed the average power consumption still does not exceed 35W after the sustained 35W period.

Therefore the assertion that the 5980HS cannot have been exceeding a 35W average load by very much over a 1000-3000 second long test is correct. As you can see after the 300 second initial turbo period the 5980HS is not averaging much than 35W, while the M1 Max is averaging much more than that for multiple sub-tests.
Not my company, but several of my friends moved to a distributed systems company that pivoted to blockchain.

Offline, they’re kind of honest about the fact that the product worked just fine without blockchain and without a token, but the token is undeniably more popular and marketable than the original service.

Their company is one of the companies often shared as an example of a good blockchain company, but ironically the product worked just fine (better, even) without all of the blockchain and token stuff at the center.

Watching them has also exposed a lot of the darker sides of the space. It became trivially easy for them to raise money once they did it as a token that they got listed on exchanges, but of course the investors wanted to invest and get tokens in return, which they then could immediately flip on exchanges after doing a PR push about how they invested in the tokens. Who were they flipping to? People who wanted to buy the tokens because they saw that the big name investors had invested in the company. They basically bootstrapped the demand for the token.

My friends also receive a lot of their compensation in the tokens. They were briefly very wealthy, but due to lockups and vesting schedules they couldn’t immediately sell. The token price has been sliding ever since the initial PR push.
> As far as I can tell, there is no magic about it being The Netherlands

While not quite magic, a famously flat terrain and a mild climate surely had an impact?
European means different things in different contexts. Sometimes it is used as the adjective form of EU member state. Discussion of an aarticle in which Germany is calling for a Eurpean ban is such a context, since that is the form the title is using.
Lame! Didn’t think of that
> Visit [redacted], and you’ll be redirected to a subdomain for EU exit hauliers - except the site isn’t there. Instead it’s a WordPress login page. There’s no username field and we feel confident that a brute force attack would be super effective!

> Elsewhere we have the Department for Transport careers page, which sort of does what it says. Clicking on the ‘see all vacancies’ button will redirect you to the civil service jobs site. This isn’t weird in itself, what is weird is that it uses t.co - Twitter’s redirection and domain obscuring tool to do it. Don’t ask us why, we have no idea why they would do this.

This sounds like someone inexperienced with the system is somehow managing it. How can you use a t.co link for... this? I'm surprised this edit got past anyone.

EDIT: Redacted the link just to be on the safe side. It's in the article if anyone's curious.
What use case are you talking about? Plugging a chord from PC to TV will only have input lag due to the TV itself. No artifacting would be caused from this either. I can't imagine what "transmitting a game to such devices as a rasberry pi" means.
I find the sandwich helpful because I really do mean it, and otherwise I can be awkward with people and miscommunicate, easily. I think we agree that honesty is always important.

The reason for the whole prioritization of kindness generally is this: I have learned for myself that God is real, and our choices really do matter in this life and beyond, and the way I learned it means many other things follow as a result: the need to love God with our all, and our fellow humans as ourselves; and the importance of service to others, in the growth process we are all experiencing.

I also appreciate your point that you are only responsible for your own emotions. Sometimes remembering that helps me too -- especially if I consider those emotions to be a choice, or something that the person can choose, if they choose to act in that regard, rather than just being acted upon. Somehow balanced with the importance of serving/helping others appropriately when possible. There are a variety of situations of course, as you imply.

And just a quick aside as it occurs to me: I found from experience that if the only feedback is negative, the recipient will likely eventually quit listening or quit participating, or become destructive in some way. I think we all need a positive concept of future possibilities, i.e., hope, in order to move forward. Part of a leader's job is to be to motivate, and/or to know when that is needed, and providing that hope is important. There is a short book ~ "Leadership and the One Minute Manager" that talks about 4 different kinds (maturity levels) of reports, and the different treatment each needs, depending on their high or low levels of confidence and competence.
What steps did I skip? Some exchanges already allow withdrawals to L2s, and Coinbase is working on it. Once social recovery wallets like Argent start to onboard users directly to L2 (zkSync), L1 might as well not exist for the regular Joe since it's completely abstracted away.

The situation for current L1 users is obviously different, but those people probably aren't the most fee-sensitive users anyway, since sending money with $5+ fees is hardly viable for so-called everyday use.
The reason I used a physical logbook is that if you use software, you have to have the software and the logfile on-hand all the time. You can keep them both on a stick, of course; but you still need the right OS/FS drivers etc. Also, your screen and keyboard may be connected to a machine that's crashed, or being repaired.

And it's easier to scribble a line in a physical logbook than to crank-up some editor, open the logfile, append an entry, save the file etc. If you're going to log absolutely everything, then adding an entry needs to be as easy as signing your name.

You could rely on your laptop; but laptops break and crash. a physical notebook is crashproof, drop-proof, and can even survive being dropped in a puddle. And short of pencils and erasers, it's intrinsically an append-only medium (except that you can still annotate old entries).

Maybe an electronic logbook works for you; I found that my logs were more comprehensive and generally easier to use if I kept them on paper. I got through about two notebooks a year; I used a stack of old ones to elevate my monitor (phone directories are hard to come by these days).

Yes this is why we all use Hungarian notation and GNU indentation.
Tip: ask for a plug adapter in a decent European hotel, and you have a good chance to be given a nice one.

I live in a place with US style plugs, and I like to travel light. So in my suitcase I keep just one US-EU adapter, and employ the pen lid trick [1] to use it in UK style outlets. US, EU and UK style outlets cover basically 100% of my travel destinations. I can't recommend this trick, but it does work and saves me from carrying a bulky UK adapter.

> Use one of the lanes?

Yes, definitely. They'd have to be physically isolated from the heavier higher-speed traffic, and there's some complexity around providing safe on/off ramps for both traffic types, but it's all solvable. The bigger issue is that it only addresses riders' longer-distance travels. The more difficult issue is shorter distances in cities and on secondary suburban roads. Shuttling kids around and various other day-to-day errands constitute a majority of non-commute driving for huge numbers of people. What do you do when the road only has one lane in each direction already, directly abutted on all sides by private property? That's the part I don't see a solution for. The only thing I can think of (which also helps address some of the "borrowed highway lane" issues) is fully elevated bikeways, which is hardly cheap or visually appealing but at least seems feasible financially and politically.
I haven't read this but the description seems very comprehensive!

After he's got his sea legs, I would also get books on how to implement ITSM. IT Service Management is the most straightforward codified way to run an IT department or set of IT services. Learn about Change Management, Incident Management, Disaster Recovery, Availability/Reliability/Redundancy. Learning about any legal regulations/laws that relate to IT. Then eventually dive into SRE, Lean, DevOps, Agile (but far down the road, not immediately).
I am now taking bets on how long it will last.

Fish is wonderful! I'm glad it gets this repeated attention :D
>That _sounds_ nice, but the Ancient Greeks (and others, but I've got to pick on someone) tried it and didn't succeed

... except at moving humanity forward regarding morality, understanding of society, politics, history, organization of civic life, philosophy, theater, poetry, arts, a few millenia forward, while spearheading democrachy, historiography and several other things besides, and establishing the whole basis for this "western civilization" thing...

>That _sounds_ nice, but the Ancient Greeks (and others, but I've got to pick on someone) tried it and didn't succeed in much more than setting back the scientific method and thinking up all sorts of plausible things like "everything is made of air" and "the first humans were born inside a fish." The problem is that something can sound completely plausible, be internally logical, and also be completely wrong.

I think an even more real problem is a lack of knowledge of history, and what exactly those pesky Greeks (and others before and after them) did, combined with a fanboy attitude towards the "scientific process" (as if it emerged wholesale somewhere around the 16th century or so).
I've done a lot of traveling in less developed countries. That has taught me to be thankful for the fact that I live in a house with heat and air conditioning, and hot and cold running water that I can drink without getting sick. Many people in developed countries (especially the U.S.) take these things for granted, but in many parts of the world these are things people only dream of.

I agree with you, and it's super hard to explain. But if you have the right type of project requirements, Laravel is unbelievably great to work with. I love other languages more than PHP, but for a real world, client facing project that I want to be mostly hands off, Laravel would get my vote 9/10 times.
The Yes Men pointed this out explicitly in their presentation to the WTO on Leisure Wear for Managers of the Future. The golden penis suit was just the cherry on top.

Super cool:

> Union Types - Combine several types into one union, which means that whatever input must match one of the given types: `function find(int|string $id)`

TypeScript and PHP have the distinct honor of being a popular language with ad-hoc union types (not the concrete subclass/enums that other languages seem to think are sufficient).

Stripe recommends setting the currency based on the detected country, as that apparently increases conversion.
I don’t think they needed to help finance the research. I think the apple volume is likely an order or two of magnitude larger than the next customer. It’s probably an advantage to have the large volume, and sync is making the right choice.

Similarly intels process issues showed up when they started trying to make xeon before the desktop processors.
The only negative adjectives I used were "irritating" and "impolite". The first one is strictly my feelings, and if you don't share them, I can only congratulate you on your self-restrain. The second one is just my opinion, I could explain why I think so, but I don't think it's that big of a deal to waste time on further discussions. Just please, keep file naming in mind if you can. No one will come to any harm if you won't, though, so I guess it's not that important.

On the second thought, one part of my job is preparing products for the final consumption, so this attention to minutiae is probably a professional deformation.

Beef is not an essential staple. It's probably the worst kind of meat in terms of environmental impact.
Hunter gatherers routinely starved to death, and had violent confrontations with other tribes. This is evidenced by the different propagation of Y chromosomes vs mitochondrial DNA, as well as other evidence.

It was not better. It was just different, and ultimately less safe than living in agricultural communities.

The unibomber's manifesto goes into a lot of detail on the merits of nativeist life, and many modern anarchists subscribe to this philosophy and co-opt it into a neo-socialist dogma, but it is entirely without scientific merit.
So the company actually has a real product that solves a real problem and they are using blockchain just for PR and fund raising?
Seconded, I learned a ton about A/V systems from him. He has excellent technical content. Learning about how the old electromechanical juke boxes worked was fascinating.

I can also recommend Applied Science. He explains the concepts behind numerous concepts and applies them to a home project in his garage. Such project include:
Home made electron microscope
Chemical glass strengthening
Robotic cookie maker
Creating X-Rays
Messing around with supercritical CO2

Batteries may be included, but some assembly is definitely required in learning all of the commands to make it useful.

I'm sure vim and emacs were great tools back when monochrome monitors were all that were available. But with modern UI IDEs and what not, I only use vim when need to make fast and dirty changes directly on the server. I do find all of things that can be done in emacs/vim quite impressive, but I'm also quite happy that it is not the tool I have to use because nothing else is available.

I do find myself getting environments backwards in my head though when flipping back and forth quickly. Like typing :wq in my IDE, or cmd-s in vim when prompts my terminal to save my session.
People outside the EU do not realize this: “Not European” is used colloquially by people in the European Union to refer to EU countries, institutions, etc.
Indeed, I would love to get more details on what all went into it, and how far can we stretch such a SBC.

Anecdotal - my experience is the opposite. I have two large PHP side projects currently (vanilla and Drupal) and I find working with PHP and Composer to be a much slower experience overall than my day job developing with TypeScript/Node and JavaScript/React.
I also pay for YTP - I have no issues with people like ATA putting an ad in their content as long as it's not obnoxious, like sometimes the Simon Whistler stuff is. I'm not gonna buy their "merch" - so it seems reasonable to me they can sell some space on their feed to someone else for some extra cash. Sure, I don't love it, but I do very much enjoy ATA, Hoovie, Sam Crac, Adam Ragusea, Today I Found Out, etc and although I suspect they make around 300/400k a year USD from youtube alone, I do also appreciate how much work goes into their stuff. ATA for example hires someone to narrate his scrip for him.

The transatlantic ping is waves traveling at the speed of light in fiber and a large fraction of the speed of light in copper. To send a pixel to a screen you need to wait for the next vsync if you're not using a variable refresh rate display. That alone can be double digit milliseconds. Then you need to wait for the crystals in the screen to physically move in response to applied voltage. Moving things is slow. Moving things happens at speeds far less than the speed of light unless you're putting in enough energy to vaporize a city.

If you wait around and rely on things that move extremely slowly compared to the light speed of fiber and near light speed of electrical signals, waiting around for a crystal to turn and align itself to a voltage is going to take an eternity in comparison.

So yeah, no shit it's slower to display a pixel.
A few random thoughts:

+ Use a 'tape recorder' to capture your thoughts, have someone else transcribe it...or a machine...your future self might also be that other person.

+ You are the only person who judges you based on typing accuracy. Everybody else is focused on worrying about their analogous self judged flaws.

+ Practice writing using free writing. Both by hand and typed. Because writing is hard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_writing

https://writingprocess.mit.edu/process/step-1-generate-ideas...

+ The writing in your question is perfectly fine. That's probably because it took you a long time. Time spent working on something written strongly correlates with the quality of the work.

+ Join a community of writers...or another one since part of what HN is, is a community of writers.

+ In the end, this is a bit of an XY problem. What you want is to write. The way to write is to write. Writing is always a struggle. Better typing comes with experience. Better writing doesn't come from better typing.

+ Your writing is fine and that's all anyone else will care about.

+ I feel I spent way to long writing this. That's ok. I have become used to the feeling.

----

Finally after all that on my end another suggestion:

Buy a mechanical typewriter. They are mostly distraction free (except for mechanical tinkering). One of the good parts for me is how a mechanical typewriter forces me to deal with typing errors...no matter what I do, they still live on the page in some form even with correction tape...so I over strike or strike out or ignore.

Why I suggest this for you is a mechanical typewriter will always produce imperfection...and that force hones judgment about what is and isn't important.

Shouldn't all works of art be given the same treatment regardless of medium?

In any case, claiming comic books should be treated like movies, but not like books is an odd take. Comic books are like movies in the sense that they are sequential works of art, but at that level, so are books. Many illustrated children's books are, in fact, comic books.

> The graphic novels being "banned" can't be posted to Instagram or Facebook or network TV because: pornographic

This is wrong on two counts. First, many of these comic books are banned for issues unrelated to sex. Second, even explicit sexual content isn't ipso facto pornography.
>I am not asking for anything resembling quotas; just any demonstration of the ability of the team to coexist with a person they have serious ideological disagreements with.

That would be nice... unfortunately, filter bubbles are such that it's hard for most people just to locate a reasonable person who has serious ideological disagreements with them. The current polarisation didn't happen in a vacuum.

Not sure if that is a serious or sarcastic comment. How do you verify build images with blockchain? And why do you need to do that? Which blockchain are you using? Private or public?
I think the defeatist stance of 'it will go to China anyways is quite harmful. We should at least try to legislate useful things and enforce them for the common good. Besides, if companies want to avoid the legislation, sending the data to China will not do them much good: what they are doing will be just as illegal. And presumably companies recording video on EU soil can be regulated from the EU.
