I haven't had a close look at Lego bricks for years until a few weeks ago and got a chance to compare that with copycat set. That made me extremely aware of the high level of quality that a Lego set has: the bricks are extremely well made and durable, the sets are working and (more or less) exciting and the build instructions are designed meticulously to make it clear where everything needs to go. The instructions are broken into smaller steps for kits aimed at younger children.

One thing they seem to have lost over the years is the flexibility of the kits: I remember many kits having instructions for several alternate models, encouraging you much more to take things apart again after building. Newer kits are mostly a single model and that limits the fun that you end up having with them. The invitation to tinker seems gone.

We’ve also absorbed the Protestant Reformation, the Counterreformation, the Thirty Years War, and the English Civil War into the background of our culture: see the implicit suspicion of the Pope and global organizations in any right wing YouTube video. One can be completely ignorant of the world historical events of early modern Europe and still have absorbed their cultural impact. But that doesn’t make you any less ignorant of the sequence of historical events, new ideas, and great works that form the rational account of why our present culture and experience is the way it is. Sure, one can be ignorant and still function in human life, being carried along by the undercurrents of the time and culture in which accident assigned your life span. The question is why a thinking person would consider it acceptable to leave it at that.

Takeaway:

There are two key points. First, our exhaustion—in its various material and immaterial dimensions—is a consequence of the part we play in a techno-social milieu whose rhythms, scale, pace, and demands are not conducive to our well-being, to say nothing of the well-being of other creatures and the planet we share. Second, the remedies to which we often turn may themselves be counterproductive because their function is not to alter the larger system which has yielded a state of chronic exhaustion but rather to keep us functioning within it. Moreover, not only do the remedies fail to address the root of the problem, but there’s also a tendency to carry into our efforts to find rest the very same spirit which animates the system that left us tired and burnt out. Rest takes on the character of a project to be completed or an experience to be consumed. In neither case do we ultimately find any sort of meaningful and enduring relief or renewal.

My theory is that you only need to please a couple of maintainers that work with you, not everyone. That's why I proposed a test with 2 colleagues at the end. It could potentially be spiced up with 2 colleagues of different levels. I believe this can act as one of those 20% effort to get 80% there, but definitely don't claim to have proof of this.
Depends on the style of furniture. Campaign furniture [0] has all sorts of brass handles, hinges, and corner brackets with exposed screw heads (or nail heads, brads, etc.)

Little details on other furniture types still expose a screw head. Like the strike plate on the locking mechanism of a desk drawer. Or the brackets on a secretary desk. A piano hinge on a piano.

Even high-quality pieces of other styles will still use screws. They're not visible from a normal perspective, but can be seen from under a table for example. (Attaching a solid wood tabletop to the frame is often done with screws and figure eights to allow wood movement.) To someone who's really fussy, seeing those screws clocked the same way might spark joy or something. I don't know, seems a bit much to me.

Now, exposed cam locks? Yeah, always an indicator of low quality :)

There is an ethical version of breeding that would be good for society though (and I imagine this exists to some extent outside the mainstream mainstream). E.g. if a breeder decides "I want a hypoallergenic dog between 40 and 50 pounds with a calm demeanor who is otherwise maximally healthy" instead of worrying about the the nitpicky specifics of their appearance, that would be a benefit for society.

It's more the culture of dog breeding and showing than the concept that's harmful.

I also think banning EVs would be stupid, but we need to be serious about having the proper infrastructure to support them and nobody is talking about it.

Ask HN: How to Deal with Jealous Friends
I recently had a falling out with my best friend. I've known this girl for about 1 year and we only met once, usually through the internet. When we met it all worked out, in the comfortable feelings with each other and at that moment I felt that I would really like to have something serious with her. I would like to see her one more time this year, but unfortunately my job doesn't give me much freedom to go often. We live about 7 hours away from each other's homes (We live in different states).

So I mentioned to my best friend that I would like to spend Christmas with my girlfriend, but I had already arranged the New Year with him, so I asked beforehand if we had anything planned for Christmas and he said no. , and from that I decided to go visit my girlfriend and spend Christmas with her. However, he started to give several negative points about it, saying that I would not have nice things to do there (since it is inland and there are no trees or beautiful places at Christmas like in big cities) or that her family did not want me there. Besides also mentioning that it would be better to travel at the carnival because I would have more time to see it, but I won't have a break at the carnival and I'll only have about 3 days to see her, while at Christmas I get 4 days. So I said I would think about the case.

However, a few days later I mentioned that I would actually travel even with his warnings, which I think are valid, but my desire at the moment is to see my girlfriend, because lately she has been helping me to deal with a lot of stuff. But my best friend started to think that I had devalued our friendship and putting value points, mainly on the question of real value. For example, he mentioned that I spend a lot of money on the ticket just to see her, while I've known him for a long time, I didn't spend anywhere near what I would spend on the trip (which is not a high value). He always says that Christmas is to be with the family, and he thinks I'm leaving him for my girlfriend, always putting values, that I value her more than he because of that value. But my girlfriend's family even paid the ticket for me, they really want me to go, I don't want to let them down either. I really want to go, but I also don't want to leave my friend like this, we don't have the tradition of spending Christmas together, most of the time we just spend New Year together, which I think is much more important. I never had Christmas traditions with my family, it was always nothing special. He said that he sees me as family, but i also do, but for me the new year is more special. Also this is impacting my work, because I'm always thinking about how both of them will feel.

> What I am complaining about is people immediately jumping to dismiss the discussed laws and even the need for them just because the posters assume they don't cover edge cases. This is done without understanding or even reading the laws themselves, nor the legal process that will be used to enforce them, nor how the legal system works in regards to those edge cases.

This reads like "these dumdums can't possibly understand the law because only lawyers can understand the law and everyone else needs to shut up."

How is that compatible with a democracy? Don't voters have to be able to understand what their legislators are doing on their behalf? Are we all just permanently screwed?

It's not as if these criticisms don't come to fruition. People said DMCA 1201 would be a bad law from the beginning, and it still is. Sex workers objected to SESTA even though they were the ones it was supposed to protect, politicians passed it over their objection, and the bad things predicted to happen then happened. It is the calls to "reform" CDA 230 that seem to lack any understanding of the law, the reasons for it, or even what it does.

The most common flaw in new legislation is the failure to account for unintended consequences from bad edge cases and perverse incentives. It is actually really hard to create a law without these things. The discussion of how to avoid them, or even if they can be avoided sufficiently to cause the proposed law to be a net positive in the world, is really important.

Here's another example. This year, the Supreme Court did some good in reining in the CFAA:

Well, the general reasoning you applied is in fact the basis of several 'plot-based' approaches; a sequence of 'events' that change the narrative world in a certain way is chosen based on (any number of) criteria

I worked particularly on a system that involved an automated planning paradigm - so there were 'goals' that the story wanted to be met (and could be determined/influenced by an author-user) and a catalogue of abstract definitions of events as planning operators. It worked somewhat like you said, except (for practical purposes) mostly backwards (as in backwards-planning)

I unfortunately lost contact with the research area a bit, and am not familiar with how it progressed - but it certainly is interesting in a distinct way; it really lets you explore a particular creative side that many things in computer science neglect

Really? I’ve put a ton of sets together over about 30 years and I have never had a piece missing.

I’m constantly impressed that they just always all the pieces.

What I have found is that sometimes there is 1 piece stuck in the bag after I have dumped it out. So I keep the bags until I’m finished building the set.

The page adapts to the screen. It means making different versions for different types of screens.

But, the development process is so abbreviated that it takes way less time to make a mobile & desktop version than it would take to make the equivalent responsive version.

Also many (most?) serious sites already develop separately for different platforms.

So far, in 5 years I've been working on this, I've not had a single comment from a non-developer about the responsiveness being inappropriate.

Yeah, this is the real answer to the "outside" use case.

Lots of fitness smartwatches have them, and they're awesome. Once you walk outside there's clearly a reduced color gamut, but other than that, everything else (fps, etc) remains the same, and the screen is perfectly usable.

Can't wait until other niche mobile devices come out with this tech (tablets, phones, laptops).

Best App That Pays You to Walk
The modern LEGO landscape is the best it's ever been, IMO. The Saturn V set is absolutely incredible, and for a kid the manual comes with a wealth of knowledge about the early space program.

The NES set has a TV with a moving Mario level. A _moving_ Mario level. It's insane. My mind is blown as an adult; I can't imagine what child me would have done with that engineering knowledge.

> and the designs are much more realistic than they were when I was growing up

That's one thing I don't much care for in the modern sets. Sure the results look more realistic, but it means that half the pieces are now custom made for the particular set, and often have very little use in a general context. It seems that they've moved from a general building system to more of a per set focused approach.
Communication? Maybe. But in my mind it's more of a user experience. That is, someone else picks up your "product" (i.e., code), how easy - or not - is it for them to engage with that product?
That would be, of course, if for 93 hours one played a 30Hz flashing B-W-B-W... The average dot switch, on a binary (B/W) threshold, on normal video, is probably well less than every second. A value between 1'000 and 10'000 hours is more realistic. The technology was not born for this use.

Nonetheless, the lifetime values one can find do not seem to be precise and reliable (that of 10 million is one piece of reported official information and not the only one). Having tests would be better, I am not sure how much these speculations can be trusted. Anyway, given the presence of EPD based smartphones in the market, together with the monitors, information will have to come out of users' experience.
Thanks!
