That clarifies it and I've been feeling the same way for quite some time. Intrinsic goal-directed motivation seems hard to come by and being productive in complete vacuum unrealistic for most.

Perhaps it would be a good start to seek companionship with those already involved in something that feels worthwhile to you.

Now there's several cool online communities (thinking of FOSS projects or speedrunning) but those might be too shallow depending on the depth of the engagement you can muster.

There's also the possibility of IRL involvement there with meetups or such. And this could be a window to something more, who knows?

Smaller interest groups also form in the context of universities, although whether you become aware of them or get access depends on specifics.

There might also be non-tech communities near you, perhaps gardening, miniature trains (big in Germany) or model engineering to which the above also applies. I find that being in your head all the time like it is with science/technology can become burdensome so how about a more "physical" pursuit for a change?

Sorry if this self-evident. It's difficult to assess from afar and I don't have first-hand experience which I realise you were asking for, but I guessed this is better than no answer.

Older versions (https://mises.org/library/three-more-attacks-civilization) of his dishwater article, which seems to be ever-evolving*, included mention of TSP. That was dropped, then topical politics was added.

Some people with hard water still swear by TSP in laundry. Even if it went straight to waterways (I would guess most users return it to their own septic systems, and municipalities do treat waste), agricultural phosphates still dominate, like agricultural use of water compared with residential use.

He's talking about the binary compatibility of the various IBM system lines.

The binaries of AS/400 systems include an intermediate code binary representation of the program that can be re-translated into a binary for a newer system when one is developed.

If you wrote a POSIX based program in in the past on the AS/400, it would almost certainly run fine on the newer systems. Likewise, AS/400 programs written for AS/400 or iSeries chip based systems will run on the modern Power series OS/400 systems with a recompile.

There are good and bad sides of choosing to build this level of compatibility, but IBM has made doing so a mainstay of their business for a long time.

New undocumented APIs in Python 3.10: The future of trust stores in Python
From my experience, it's enough if the application is able to finish existing requests when it receives the signal to terminate. Kubernetes removes the terminating pod from the service endpoints, so it won't receive new connections. Therefore, if the application can serve all remaining queries during the grace period (30s by default), it should be fine.

Probes are useful for ensuring long term health and also for determining when to send traffic to a starting pod. They aren't strictly necessary in the termination process.

> I suspect your early attempts at setting this up safely also failed.

IMHO Kubernetes is too complicated for many use cases. The zero downtime deployment may require some testing, but it's definitely supported. It's not a rare requirement.

Lack of set-back rules do not prevent building houses with set-back. Lack of parking law does not prevent building parking. Developers will not build density if it isn't a profitable use of the land -- i.e., important given the population. Rezoning to permit density does not immediately replace all existing structures.

Mandating these things is some of that "local regulation tied into NIMBYism" you mention.
I feel like leaving the subject of whether automobiles are good/bad as something that cannot be determined is just shying away from the question, and the possibility that the answer to it is that it is generally a bad thing. When you design cities and cultures and entire lifestyles around the assumption that everyone has or must have a car, all the unintended consequences of the automobile become bigger—necessary places aren’t walkable, air becomes so polluted you can’t jog outside, you create huge market demand for cheaply produced energy, and so on.

I’d like to hear anyone’s thoughts to the contrary? Are there any benefits that are bigger than the cons?
Don't know why you so focused about YT. I was just exemplifying how the NFT could be the future of internet by comparing to YT video ecosystem. Not specifically on the future of YT. If anything it was a compliment. But if it improves or is replaced, don't care

Tiktok clearly overtook a part o YT for younger people. And some big youtubers already double publish in other platforms

> Why? What undesirable action would youtube take that is prevented by having them reference a blockchain such that you now trust them?

Imagine a new video service appears that hosts the video normally, without IPFS etc, but tracks the user views/likes/dislikes in a public blockchain

Now there is someone with 1 million to invest in adverts. Will they do it on a platform where can validate the actual numbers, or trust YT word?

Even if you have to quote prices in lira, could they internally model the price in euros or dollars and adjust the lira price multiple times a day if necessary? I’ve heard that this is what most shopkeepers did during the hyperinflation in Yugoslavia (with German marks as the reference currency).
Ha! Any programmer knows you have to simulate a trading system to run "What if" calculations ..

Placed on top of the S&P 2000 we yield 1% a day - which to those not familiar with sectors - see as criminal. But today it's all legal and cell phone ready.

The fact that you have repeatedly dodged that question is what will cause myself and other readers to jump to conclusions. Nothing else.
Is that really a new trend though? Academia has always fancied itself to be an arbiter of truth. Religion as well, which is why a tension exists between the two, and people like to cast Academia as a religious order (they are not wrong to do so).
Taxing something and making it illegal are different things. And the damage caused by larger vehicles is not hard to understand. Damage to roads and emissions are simple functions.

This narrative has nothing to do with reality, because vaccinated people spread covid, too.

The common sense so far has been, that infectious(of any infections - not only covid, which is the worst of the inffection type - as it is airborne infection) people should not walk around and stay at home until they get through their infection. With covid, the issue is that it is not causing any symptoms in most cases and it can stay in organism for months - also without any symptoms. So, esentially any covid infected - vaccinated or not should avoid other people for ~1year, to be really sure that covid is gone.

Also, let's look on this from different perspective - people that has to be protected from covid are minority - ~10% at max. Among them there are higher chance that they will die from complications just from vaccines, so you might think, that by getting vaccine you might be protecting others, but I assure you - the best help that you can do is by not contacting other people, especially vulnerable people. So far, the main narrative is that vaccination helps and they happily go around and infect others - even with new strains... so, the end result is equally stupid.

And if you have billions of dollars in cheap capital, everything looks like an investment problem.

Which is ultimately the suggestion of this article: "Why aren't you more like Wall Street?"

The implications are exactly the opposite of Zillow being an innovative company. If they require billions of dollars in deep pockets (nbd) and a restructuring of their org to be more like old-school operators, all signs point to existing players as more fundamentally correct about the strategy required to succeed in the space.
Interestingly, I was introduced to the term "drayage" in another thread, but seems apt here. I think some kind of last mile car service at the train stations would improve transit overall. But the 8-ball is having that transit system in the first place. Replacing one kind of inefficient car transportation with another improves nothing.

> This also means that exported goods are effectively cheaper for international buyers, so export volume goes up.

That's Erdogan's theory. However in reality nothing stays cheap because anything Turkey produces has large component of imports, be it energy, parts or machinery etc. because the country is not a petrostate.

The only thing that can stay cheap is the labour but that labour can stay cheap only if it sees huge drop in life quality since the stuff the people consume(petrol, cars, electronics etc.) see huge price increases.

You simply can't keep the wedge of a worker at 5000 when the iPhone prices increase from 7000 to 11000, car prices jump from 200K to 300K and gas from 6 to 9.

> while locally produced goods and services should remain more or less unchanged.

This is not true for Turkish Lira because EVERYTHING is dependent on foreign currencies at some point. For example local agricultural goods shouldn't be affected, but all the machines in production line are imported, all their servicing equipment are imported. If one simply goes unofficial (e.g. Finding someone to service their machines totally in Turkey), even iron is based on foreign currencies as almost everything is either imported or owned by a foreign company (as the government sold everything to non-Turkish entities). Fuel is also imported and is directly correlated with foreign currencies. At the end of the day, everything, even local goods, is tied to foreign currencies.
Covid is just a symptom of bigger underlying epidemic:

It's an epidemic of depression and anxiety ravaging through society, which doesn't spare anybody.

I became interested in Sweden's approach of not doing anything at all , per the John Hopkins University website COVID deaths in Sweden are 15,000.

15k in 2 years, now how many months/weeks were trimmed off those people's lives? Note that I said months/weeks, not years.

Back in the 1990s or the 2000s we'd have not even noticed that COVID even existed, not to mention the 1970s and 1980s.

How many COVIDs came and went through the human history without us noticing?

Diseases and virus didn't change. We did. We are much more depressed and anxious.

The end all be all seems to be existing, not living.

To avoid any downside risk in order to stay around. If you plan your life with the goal of staying around, pretty soon you would not want to stay around any longer.
But your point is that this exaggerated thing is happening. We all understand the caricature you're trying to paint. I'm trying to get at the real world thing underneath of that. Get rid of the exaggeration. What's really happening?

I totally agree with you. I like using symbols to shape the way I think, and I find using AutoHotKey to to expand typed strings works well for my workflow. Stuff like "qbeta", "qright", "qdegree" and "q@" become β, →, °, and my email. Very useful when I was in university.

These days, I use it to type stuff like (ﾟヮﾟ ) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and a black box symbol that HN won't let me type, but is eye catching for when you're scanning logs. Symbols like checkmark, ×, the thinking emoji, and the hourglass are useful when taking notes.

Lots can be found in the Windows 10 emoji finder (Win + Period), but AHK is more customizable. Also WinPeriod is juuuuust that much more friction and I find AHK fits into my flow better. This flow shapes the way I think.
> I love how HN hates k8s for no valid reason.

There's lots of valid reasons to not use K8s. I don't hate it. What I strongly disagree with is its use-by-default (not unlike how software is now Microservices-by-default.)

K8s offers lots of functionality (that most folks don't require) in exchange for operational complexity. If you're Google, Microsoft, or a huge organization that can truly afford a DevOps team, then more power to you. But for most small/medium sized businesses they're simply not getting the ROI for the resources they're putting into it. We don't bat an eyelash at those costs because "that's just how you deploy apps in the cloud" today. Same goes for Microservices. Monoliths aren't perfect, but at some places that blindly pray at the altar of Microservices wind up building distributed monoliths, adding complexity and friction that is simply not worth their cost.

Unpopular opinion: K8s and Microservices have hurt more than helped our industry at companies where scaling is not a huge factor (99% of companies.)
It's only software at this point, though. The AS/400 that the (short, detail-less) article talks about is very much legacy.

Despite the compatibility IBM builds in, sometimes system hardware can't be updated or won't be updated.

IBM kept the defining part of the system and merged it with high performing hardware that requires no separate business division to support.
This is always a given, though – correlation vs. causation. It's good that it's mentioned, though.
"However, for a variety of reasons, SSP5-RCP8.5 now looks increasingly unlikely as a ‘business as usual’ emissions pathway. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, the costs of renewables and batteries have declined extremely quickly. Historically, models have been too pessimistic on cost declines for solar, wind and batteries: out of nearly 3,000 Integrated Assessment Models, none projected that solar investment costs (different to the levelised costs shown below) would decline by more than 6% per year between 2010 and 2020. In fact, they declined by 15% per year."

Nice to see this in writing, lots of studies are based are on pre 2010 solar and battery prices.

If the function is printed in a journal article, or you just use something like 'less' to look at the file all that information is not available.

I find it kind of weird that we've normalized not being able to read the code outside of the proper program for it. Since those IDEs often cost money it starts to feel a bit like steps towards a walled garden to me, and I'm not sure its good for actual computer science.

Everyone of my family members that owned an RV has said that gas mileage was aweful. I'm wondering what would be worse, this heli-home or a regular RV. How much advantage of being able to travel in the literal "as a crow flies" distances vs ground roads, price of regular fuel vs aviation fuel, etc. However, at least in an RV, you don't need sound deadening headphones and intercoms the entire time of travel.
As an experienced report you can help your junior eng manager grow. When you’re being hired at staff eng level — a role partly defined as being a model employee — this should be made explicit as an expectation by your skip-level and/or CTO.

You should be the best possible direct report, one that helps your eng manager learn in the best possible way and which sets an example to the more junior ICs in your team and org. You’ll probably begin at the very beginning, by letting them close the most senior hire of their career to date, as a hiring manager.

The flip side: this is largely useless in a big org. The flip flip side is that it is invaluable in a high growth environment.
i’ve always been intimidated by assembly (did a lot of arduino programming so i had exposure to AVR assembly but it was always very clever code to e.g. bitbang serial) - never saw the use of learning x86 assembly given that i’ll never beat a compiler, but then at a vintage computer festival I heard from multiple people that they genuinely enjoyed writing 6502 assembly.

The 6502 chip is used in the NES, Atari, Commodore, Apple II and other popular vintage machines and is still used in embedded applications including medical implants (i.e. pacemakers)

I started working through this book on making games for the NES and found its explanation of the code samples enlightening. Once I get my bearings I plan to start programming my old Apple IIe.

Same person indeed. For me it did a lot of good.
Not the OP, but I have the same issue. Tried the 3 original tip sizes as well as 3rd party foam tips - no use, they either hurt after a short while or don't seal properly, causing ANC to barely work at all and the headphones to fall out when jogging or doing exercise. Guess my ears are not shaped for the Pros, or any in-ear earbuds for that matter - it has always been the same story with any brand I tried over the years.

However, the 1st/2nd gen "base" AirPods are a perfect fit for me, so I just ordered a new pair to replace my 3 years old 1st gen with almost completely failed batteries. Would've used something like Podswap, but unfortunately no such service is available in my country that I could find.
Is it fair to call this the result of “AI thinking?” Meaning that urge to automate away human involvement, because —after all—-if people are involved in analyzing data and decision making, then clearly the AI isn’t finished let.
In many ways, the news that we get is the news that consumers of news generally care about—so if an issue gets buried under much more current ones, it’s just a consequence of people caring about the current ones. We’re pretty much asking for human nature to change here. You also can’t reasonably expect journalism to report on something where there is nothing new or significant to report, which happens a lot in long legal cases.
Yes, I think the lucid dreaming analogy is apt. That said, these games aren't just puzzles, they are also imaginary worlds. AI Dungeon might be approaching the sense of being in another world from another direction. Text adventures generally start with a small set of unforgiving rules, and AI Dungeon starts with inferred and easily broken rules.

But another part of games is the meta-game where you get into the game designers head, try to figure out how they would have setup the puzzle, knowing that challenges are designed to be solvable. In AI Dungeon this is also true in a sense, except you are getting in the head of an alien intelligence that has read human writing extensively.
