honestly the reddit r/fitness faq is pretty good. if you don't mind reading a lot the strongerbyscience guides on squatting, deadlifting and benching are very high quality.

in terms of programming: starting strength is ok for beginners but don't stay glued to it for too long. once you start stalling move on to an intermediate program like the texas method, any of the SBS programs, 5/3/1 bbb, or some sort of ppl.

also, while starting strength is fine for beginners (the low volume isn't a problem as in beginners few gains are made the first month due to poor physiological recovery capacity, and beginners respond to basically any volume), mark rippetoe is a stubborn dogmatist who has never broken any records or coached anyone who's broken any records. take a lot of things he says with a grain of salt.

the most important things are: push yourself in the gym, increase weights or reps regularly (or more generally difficulty so you keep adapting to higher demands/build muscle), eat at a slight surplus, and sleep at least 7 hours, preferably 9 if it's possible.

Years of Delays, Billions in Overruns: The Dismal History of Big Infrastructure
quote but applied to something else like music:

Are you jaded about music? I've been listening to the radio for 20 years now and I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of what music is about and have in a way reached the end of music. I've listened to just about everything you could want, and went to many concerts over the years, and I feel everything is just 'samey' now and follows the same pattern. It's hard for new music to stand out and be unique (at least for me). YMMV on this.

--

I think this perspective is common and makes sense. Many of us feel it. I am not sure crypto/web3 is the solution. To bring web3/crypto into this analogy, is web3 a new way to decentralize record companies and put power into the "bands" rather than the corporations? If so, then it won't fix the problem. Centralization still finds great stuff and doesn't hinder creativitiy and bands from making music. It eventually finds them and helps change the landscape. However, if crypto is a new way to make music (app platform) with brand new instruments and new sounds.. then maybe it is the future that will take a long time. Artists are still in the basement trying to figure out how to operate these things and get them to make cool sounds
This is roughly the thesis of How Asia Works: You need industrial policy. So... yes you do need good institutions (low corruption, etc), but that doesn't mean doing what the World Bank tells you to (what is normally meant by "good institutions").
Isn't staying up to date on current events one major purpose? I'd say it's even the reason people will call out media outlets for being biased and yet still consume their content. The alternative is to simply not know what's happening in your city and around the world

> No, Trump did not stoke racism against Asians.

Ahh, another day, another reminder that people on the internet simply can’t be reasoned with.

More than 2/3rds of my town have Trump related paraphernalia visible on their property.
Do you really want to tell me about what all Trump has stoked hate against.

The fact you mention gaslighting is just grand, lol.

Not directly related, but this comment reminds me of one of the last times I went to a movie theater in this area, whenever The Interview (Kim Jong-Un) came out. There was a group of… South Eastern Asians from their general appearance. Elderly owner of the movie theater who often does ticketing at night says, in one of the most fucked up tones of voices I’ve ever heard, “you aren’t all Koreans are you” to them.

It was pretty disgusting. Funnily enough, he has his entire movie theater plastered in Trump praise & signage, something something he’s constitutionally still the president.

You seem like you don’t understand the level of hate Trump has emboldened, or that you’re just one of the haters & want to troll.

The headline is deceiving. They are building a system that works where gps is weak; underwater, underground, and at the poles.

The lack of satélites is kind of irrelevant. They are designing a system that doesn’t use radio waves, which IS totally different to older systems.

Being able to walk between AR/VR spaces like we walk between websites is going to be game changing.

Some sort of standardized metaverse protocol is absolutely the next layer that will put the current "internet" to shame.

Some time within the next two decades, most people will be wearing AR glasses and a metaverse will begin to take shape.

Metaverse likely won't obviate the need for traditional internet for some time, but we'll laugh at our arrogance in thinking that we experienced the peak of the internet at any point beforehand.

The ultimate abstraction is not hyperlinked text on a flat panel, but objects, places, and people in our physical reality. Eventually flat-panel internet and UX won't even be a thing.
I had great luck using pandoc instead of raw LaTeX. I'd just write the manuscript body in markdown, and use inline LaTeX for layouts and more complex figures that can't be replicated in Markdown. it also outputs .docx in case the prof wanted Word docs submitted digitally.

You can't transmute Bitcoin back into electricity and ASICs. You have to generate more of both, which is extrinsic to the protocol and thus available to currently-non-participating actors. PoS does not have this property.

I would consider that if your goal is just general "I'd like to be strong and healthy", whether someone has broken records doesn't really factor in to it. A program that'll take you from unfit to the strongest person in most rooms isn't necessarily going to share much beyond basic principles with a world record contender program.

That said, totally agree on those basics: progressive overload + eat right.

You and me both!

Saving a few dollars on RAM is penny wise, pound foolish.
1999 didn't feel like that because there wasn't scam after scam. People were willingly and freely sharing knowledge back then. The early internet felt empowering and freeing. Web3 feels scammy and a bunch of pump and dumpers.
I see. It's currently pretty darn hard for most of the world to get into the US, is the US also a "reverse open-air prison", which alarms the poster? Really, it's been almost impossible for the majority of the population of the planet to get into the USA before the pandemic. Most of the world would be thrilled if they could come if they quarantine for two weeks.
Uh, it does not (unless you're 12 or so, I suppose).
> Software developers thinking

Please restrict this to web developers. My decade old ThinkPad x200s with two Core2 Duo cores and 8gb of ram and an SSD can do most things very well, except browsing websites.

Loading a large book in PDF format? no problem.

Opening ten years of email in Claws Mail? sure thing.

Opening the same amount of e-mail in thunderbird? A little sweaty, but why not?

Playing mp3 files over bluetooth? Yeah!

Wanna write a document in libreoffice writer? As long as you're a bit patient.

Chat with other people using Telegram or Hexchat? No problem.

... What? You want to browse the web? F--k you.
Which step in that process could not be automated? What's so fucking difficult on either writing a Cross-Platform UI or using a Cross-Platform framework?

<rant>

Is it not instead the case that today's hipster developers simply want to ignore that platforms exist beside their fancy McBooks? Is it not the case that today's developers prefer a bizarre interpreted untyped language simply because that's what they learned for building websites and they don't want to put up the effort to understand what a type system is? Is it not true that the same developers pull in dependencies reflexivly and never consider long-term maintenance, let alone such weird concepts like supply chain security?
And finally did not some hip leaders invent the microservice architecture to cater to these idiots? Because it's nowadays simpler to have a huge, inefficient, pile of services that hides all complexity in the communication between these services than to have one well-designed, efficient system?

</rant>

Sorry for the rant, but sometimes I feel like the industry is actually regressing because many developers are simply lazy morons that hide behind buzzwords.
Extremely tangential, but when I was learning algebra I for some reason always envisioned it as a great battle between the forces on either side of the equals sign. Terms being added and subtracted were normal troops. Multiplication -- great leaders and generals. Division -- special forces who could lay waste to the other side.

The analogy is really not illuminating in any way whatsoever, but it did add a fun narrative to my problem sets.
I too have an X1 Nano and it’s a nice machine in a lot of ways — feels well built, light as a feather, looks nice, great matte 16:10 (!!) screen, great keyboard, and the trackpoint is excellent for mousing in space constricted settings (like planes). I too like that its storage can be expanded (though I wish the WWAN slot could be used for a second NVMe SSD, as it can on other machines).

The only complaint I have with it is battery life and its propensity for getting warm when doing anything even remotely demanding. I even went with the slower, lower power CPU and its battery life is still middling, and plugging it into an external display is enough to make it fire up its fans.

I wish I could swap its CPU out for something more efficient. Tiger Lake is supremely mediocre relative to current Ryzen and M-series offerings.
The problem with bloat today is not that developers have powerful computers. It is mostly that the latest trend is to ship software with their entire run time environment.

Electron is the most glaring example, it essentially ships an entire browser with your app, which we may as well call an OS nowadays. So in the end, if you have 10 electron apps, you have 10 copies of Chrome in memory, in addition to your OS main browser. They are all the same except for a few minor differences. Sure, it solves "DLL hell" but at an extreme cost in efficiency.
If you don't want to give me a decent machine, I don't think I want to be on your crew.

Anyway, I generally work for big corporates that don't give the developers the ability to spin up arbitrary cloud workloads from their laptops.

I can point to several communities which unfortunately died after they tried to mistakenly expand and embrace a wider audience.

Small forums worked because a lot of people soaked up the cost of running a little web page on a box that wasn't very expensive per year. A lot of them eventually, decided they didn't want to spend the money or time and hand off to a new maintainer.

The new maintainer looks to (reasonably) expand the community and embrace new technologies, e.g. live chat, video. This creates 10x the work at least and eventually they give up and pack it in.

Now, unfortunately the work to take over the community on it's current state is much larger than the original site and so it eventually dies without someone wanting to work a full time job without the pay...

I miss the optimistic lose communities of the 90s when I was growing up. Not to mention the communities on topics which are now no longer of interest to a wide audience. The amount of organic search needed to rediscover any new forums now is also unfortunately a new barrier to entry there never used to be :(
Your body isn't perfect, your hormone levels / nervous system state can derail the healthy autonomous response.

Having a sense of that, and knowing how to allocate some time to reset it a bit (deep breathing to relax arteries, slow down heart rate) is valuable I believe.
Same. I keep it in a jar in the pantry for safe-keeping.
Python threads are built on top of "real" preemptive OS threads. The presence of the GIL does not change that.

GIL can be released and it is released e.g., for IO, during heavy computations in C extensions--Python program can utilize multiple CPU cores.
Alternatively, maybe the proliferation of consensus-based ownership will encourage people to build even more SaaS platforms to try and capitalize on an every growing, increasingly captive audience. It's hard to say, but I'll err on the side of capitalism doing the same thing it's done for the past 100 years.

As someone that used to play the old "wireframe" video games (like SPECTRE), I think this is cool; especially, since it is just JS.
This seems like a variation on the old story about Steinmetz, the Wizard of Schenectady, making a chalk mark on a generator at a Ford plant. Which seems to be a true story, although often not attributed. The punchline to this one has always been Steinmetz's itemized bill, of $1 to make the chalk mark and $9,999 to know where to make it.
This is the right take.

Also, every hacker online pre-facebook realized that it wouldn't take that much effort to do social engineering on a mass scale, but there was a brief period before any large organizations actually got involved and started doing it.

I think we got a glimpse of something special in the early internet, and I think we can build toward that again.

Interesting. I was on the verge of returning my Onyx Boox Max Lumi (v1) myself, which, as far as I know is the only other contender in that space.

The whole experience is sluggish, the UX terribly bad, the hardware feels cheap and subpar and the software is really not well adapted to e-ink.

It's a cool A4 sized PDF e-ink reader without many equivalents and okay to decent digital notebook with digital syncing. Everything else still sucks badly.

I was hoping we'd get more competition in this space.
Even if you build a 100% efficient muon detector, how does that give you location? The article hints at timing information as a source of location, but cosmic rays are random, and the best they are going to do is give you an idea of where UP is, which is already easy to determine.

If you have land based detectors, and try to triangulate timings based on bursts, you have to precisely time those bursts, and somehow communicate that information to the submarines.

Otherwise, you're suggesting sending out muon streams from beacons in a manner similar to VOR beacons for air navigation. (I could make that work!)
Does proof of history as implemented by Solana find a middle ground here?
The "leader" has no choice after they win the current round but they do have a choice as to what to include in the winning block before they start hashing.

Maybe they act like all the other rational miners and optimize by mining fees.

Maybe they include no transactions and only take the miner reward.

Maybe they they don't like the Dutch so all their transactions are excluded.

It really doesn't matter as all y'all have been arguing over is what to call the
person who won the current round.
Actually, most of the time I don't, but the Lenovo trackpad is great.

I've tried a mac (because I like to keep my options opened) but I have found the trackpad to be only slightly better (mostly bigger), while the lack of trackpoint ("eraserhead") was painful
Great analogy. People often forget that the internet scene(s) (much like the music scene(s)) are a reflection of the people who participate in the tribe.

All tribes wax and wane: exciting, rebellious and pure in their early days, bureaucratic and suffocating in their later days -- often giving way to a new generation of tribes which cannibalizes the mindshare they once cannibalized from previous dinosaurs.

It's the circle of life, and technology accelerates but ultimately doesn't alter the very human incentives of the game. Perhaps that's my own being jaded speaking, though!

Oh you meant to suggest whether most people on HN were interested in a book titled _Spurious Correlations_? I guess that's the bulk of those search results too, that specific book. You should have put it in caps to indicate it is a title. I'm still not sure whether what happened to one post somehow proves whether or not "many people on HN are interested in" even that book, let alone the topic in general, but I am impressed by your confidence in your research methods.

Boox tablets seem to refresh faster than Kindle Paperwhites, but the appearance can be janky looking because Android isn't optimized for running on eInk. It takes some time to adjust to.

KML: Using Machine Learning to Improve Storage Systems
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.11554.pdf

"...In this paper, we describe our proposed ML architecture, called KML. We developed a prototype KML architecture and applied it to two problems: optimal readahead and NFS read-size values. Our experiments show that KML consumes little OS resources, adds negligible latency, and yet can learn patterns that can improve I/O throughput by as much as 2.3x or 15x for the two use cases respectively -- even for complex, never-before-seen, concurrently running mixed workloads on different storage devices..."
It sounds like this system still needs a conventional communication channel between the receiver and a set of reference stations, right? So it'd be of limited use on a submerged submarine (though you could reconstruct your path post-facto after surfacing I guess ... actually, thinking about it, that alone is probably super useful for mapping and intelligence.)

I'm NZ born and bred. I oppose our current lockdown situation and think it should have been lifted a long time ago. I think we got extremely lucky in our first wave and I think our government handling of the delta wave (and the lack of preparation in advance of it) is shameful. I am extremely critical of our government and very disturbed by the media's handling of it. I could not be more depressed by the sorry state of our opposition.

All of that to to say that describing NZ as a "reverse" open-air prison is so far beyond absurd I don't even know what to say. For one thing, Kiwis are free to leave NZ - perhaps it's Australia you're thinking of, which really did lock its citizens at home under punishment of 5 years in prison or a $66,000 fine[0]?

AFAIK the one unambiguously relevant metric for how many bugs you will find in a codebase is how many its "clients" define as acceptable.

Any kind of internal code quality affects the productivity of the debugging procedure, not the final number of bugs.
