Super insightful article. Unfortunately, I think I might be a type A procrastinator. Over the last couple of year, I've found it especially hard to make any meaningful progress any of my side-projects/ideas. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Did you get yourself unstuck? If so, how did you do it?

I like induction cooking as well, but it's not _that_ fast. Assuming a 3 kW (usually it's less powerful) induction stovetop, 7 kg of water, 4 J/(g.c) specific heat and 90 C temperature increase, that would take at the very least 14 minutes. Should take longer if you include heating the pan itself, phase change energy and heat losses. If you wanted to do it in two minutes, that would take twice as much power as a home Tesla charger. Heating water just takes a ton of energy.
I was looking for something just like this two weeks ago and came up empty due to Google being filled with just the huge frameworks like bootstrap or with SEO listicles with no content. It's disappointing how hard it can be to find stuff like this. (I guess "classless" is the keyword I wasn't aware of.)

Anyway, I'm confused about what makes something a CSS 'framework'. I feel like I just want decent defaults more than a framework, and that seems to be what this basically comes down to. Is there anything else to it?
I did a little work on Pirate Party politics in the UK about 10 years ago. One (unfortunately unsuccessful) approach we tried was to get Pirates to write short manifestos about what Pirate Politics really were.

It ends with a zen quote. The point of zen, and other form of buddhism is often misunderstood.

A simple way of describing one of the core teaching of buddhism is one of the main reason we suffer is:
We are constantly neurotically pulling for what we want, and pushing away what we don't want.

It means as a juggles we are constantly trying to juggle our live into a state from where we think will be fullfilled. For example once I create this successful company, not feel hungry, then I will experience meaning satisfaction. Or when Im loved, or when I have a beer etc...

It's a never ending neurotic cycle. And the West is especially good at it by being extremely success focused.

Buddhism gives you tools to break this habit, and allows for meaning to be experienced in every moment (without this forced concept of YOU HAVE TO BE MINDFULL).

This doesn't mean you don't have all these personal things that should and can be improved, but the neurotic unhapiness leaves the experience of it.

It's often interesting to see intitially buddhist techniques, like meditations, being only used in a success/goal oriented mindset: will make you more productive, succesfull etc. where only a small benefit of the initial exercise remains.

no they didn't ask the same question, because the electronic keyboard had solved some problems better than a typewriter.

I think there are problems that are suited to be solved on the blockchain - like land titles, domain names, etc. But the existing solution to those problems are adequate, and the sudden change is too costly.
If you can give up on solving the problems in your life and still lead a good life, maybe you are quite lucky.

But fighting to change yourself and improve may not be something people can or should just give up on if the consequences of not changing are sufficiently serious.
The App in question is used by IT Cell, Internet Army of trolls, of the ruling Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) with Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, as its leader. What this commenter insinuated is that quite a few of those trolls are active on HN too and they mass flag such, supposedly, Anti-Modi articles and get them removed effectively.

As an Indian, I do feel they are right since I’ve rarely seen such posts on homepage. Even this one, I found in Second Chance.

Unless I'm missing something, she seems to be a student, possibly estranged from her family since 17, having spent the last year of her adolescence in foster care, so it's plausible that she is currently poor, and needing of a scholarship to afford further education.

We don't know any more details from this article, and there is a big difference between having grown up poor verses being currently poor, as ones early life can give them a huge advantage, but this might not be as clear cut of a case of "rich kid blatantly lies to get opportunity" as it may seem.

As part of the right routine and exercises, lifting weights can be very pleasant. Personally, I love doing a good set of dumbbell rows.

I would like to respectfully disagree. There are centre, centre-right and centre-left parties in Europe. If am not mistaken, Angela Merkel's party is centre-right. But even if it isn't, there are other types of parties than just Left and Right.

This reminds me of a very interesting post I came across a few months ago. Not sure how I did, but the author’s argument is essentially that culture is becoming far less “literate” in the modern world, in the sense of reading and analyzing long books. Subsequently religions that are built on deep connections with texts will decline. Or rather, religions that focus exclusively on the text and ignore architecture, music, and other audiovisual elements will decline.

https://martymac.substack.com/p/the-coming-crisis-of-protest...

I’m not sure this will hold for all religions, but I think the general thesis is essentially correct. And it made me think about how technology itself ends up shaping belief systems. Without the “technologies” of writing and books, the history of the last ~2,500 years would be very different, religion/culture wise. No Bible, no Quran, no academic methods of analysis which arose out of examining scripture, etc. The interesting question is what the religious artifacts of the future will look like, influenced by computers and the internet.

> Currently pharmaceutical companies spend only 15% of their revenue on new drug research. The remaining 85% is spent on activities such as marketing and profit taking.

[Citation needed]

I'd like to see a budget breakdown of what these companies spend on research, manufacturing, marketing, etc.

At a glance, from looking at CBO pages, it looks like average R&D spend is actually more like in the 18-20% range, and that this isn't unusual for industries, which makes sense since they have other costs beyond R&D.
It could be that your gas lines are old and porous, leading to slow release of gas. Usually not a problem, unless the space is enclosed or poorly ventilated, in which case it can cause pooling of the gas and possibly an explosion.

Gas is dangerous, lines should be checked every couple of years (pressurized or vacuum tested) and the rubber connection hose for the range should be replaced every five years or so.

True, the purpose seems to be to silence voices critical of the BJP. The trolling software maintains databases of many categories of people to help customize the harassment.

But this article talks specifically about attacking women journalists in particular, using targeted language like calling them prostitutes or referring to their specific body parts or skin color, etc. The headline seems fine to me.

I believe this has been largely disregarded. The higher incidence rate in Europe/Anglosphere was a consequence of higher testing and accurate diagnoses, coupled with the ability to provide treatment.

We spin up a temporary and local MySQL instance per test run with helpers to generate necessary data on-demand. All our tests therefore use real queries on a real db. Due to speed constraints, this db is shared between all the tests you run in that session, so it’s possible to influence tests after yours runs in CI. The reality is that that is pretty easy to detect and it’s caused us to write less brittle code.

I recommend using Twitter's search if you want to find tweets on a particular topic. If someone posts several worthwhile tweets, you can follow them. Over time, you'll start getting retweets of good content. You can follow those people. Use Tweetdeck and create lists by topic. The most important thing is to take your time.

There's no way I'd let Twitter tell me which tweets I should see. You're going to end up with people that promote themselves and their friends, and that promotion gets annoying in a hurry - if I wanted that I'd watch QVC.

I mostly try to avoid accounts with more than 100K followers. A lot of them post information of questionable accuracy because that's how you generate interest in your account. Moreover, they aren't likely to interact unless you're in their inner circle, which makes for a boring experience.

I happened to buy a used quality induction stove, that has knobs.
At the time I didn't think a lot about it, but to me it's the best stove I ever used.

I honestly don't know thw reasoning for using toch controls on induction stoves. They are a pain to use for most people.
Has always done a terrible job of selling itself. A $25 dtv receiver and a chickenwire antenna parabola and code your own satellite TV decoder, learn what radar guns emit, emulate a modem... maybe even shift to IR and do TV controls.. it's, latent in this stuff.

But the frontpage doesn't take you there.
My previous induction cooking top had a very nice system as far as touch controls go. Each of the four zones had a separate ~5cm strip from 0 to 10, and beeped when changed.

After a short while I could easily operate it while not looking, and precision control (half-steps) was easy by simply rolling finger.

Sadly very, very few seems to have this design. Some have a shared control, but having to select the zone and then power is just... not good in comparison. I have that on my current one and I routinely adjust the wrong one, split between forgetting to select zone and it not recognizing my zone selection.

It was still touch though which overall sucks compared to physical controls.

> Unfortunately for me, I find external sources (blog posts, news articles, etc) often the most relevant and insightful; and Twitter deliberately filters them out when discovering new people.

Right, so what the author is looking for is... RSS feeds? Twitter is simply a poor-man marketed RSS feeds aggregation with all kind of flavored noises.

To me it feels like the author is not interested in what the people have to say, but more like a network of shared resources on specific topics. Well then, maybe reddit is a generic answer, and HN or lobste.rs for specialized topics.
The difference being that for typewriters there were also answers to those questions.
Back in the day when blogging is still hot, many "tech bloggers" that I read exchanges "friend links" between their blogs so their readers can discover other blogs. Many high-end bloggers are quite picky on who they would exchange links with (after all the link is displayed on the home page), which resulted a high quality read list.

Maybe people should resume doing it.

I'd like you to explain why you think that's true. If you assume an external authority is entering details into the blockchain, how is that different to the exact same authority entering details into the systems that we have currently?
