Uh, do you have something against the eastern empire? We shouldn't even mention it when talking about the fall of the western empire? Your point would make sense if the two empires were truly unrelated, but makes no sense when the two were both Roman empires.
Hmmm you can actually say you're resigning for "personal reasons not related to work" and leave it at that. Employers actually respect your boundaries on this and you don't really have to open up that part of your life if you're not comfortable about sharing it to them. Just focus on finding a new work and properly relaying your responsibilities to someone else in the company (maybe you need to document everything). That's all.
The linked page is just a bunch of iso downloads. No info
Spices, food oils, mined metals and fabric are all valuables that are brought to coastal cities in organized trade causing urbanization. The existence of many of those cities, their bazaar and their mosque is all to do with the transition to Byzantine and then only Ottoman trade. It would hardly be surprising if there are many ex-cities that had better trade connections with the western empire.

Feels like what there needs to be is a meta-system to evaluate different productivity methods for X amount of weeks each and then compare their effectiveness. Knowing such a framework would be more useful than individual techniques, of which there are countless.
Impressive data collection from OpenStreetMap (as always :)).

It would be great when wind power sources could be highlighted like solar sources and when wind & solar are more visible by default. Even solar power parks appear only on larger zoom scale (in my area).
The entire financial system in the U.S. is a manufactured product, if you really think about it. The USD has intrinsic value even if Americans don't lift a finger since you need US$ to purchase most goods on the commodities market.

If this link is broken, the U.S. would almost immediately fall into decline. The net spending power of most Americans would drop by a third to one half of what it is today, leading to social unrest. The U.S. government wouldn't be able to fund many of its programs, such as Medicare and the DoD would need to drastically cut its budget.

That's why you start in high school or college. At that age you are naive enough, have more patience and time to learn this exhausting type of work.

I spent one summer in high school just to learn how to upload files via FTP. I would go once a week to an internet cafe (no internet at home) and I'd try to use shareware software(FileZilla did not exist yet) or upload files with Internet Explorer to some free hosting service, but nothing would work. When school started, a CS teacher overheard me asking a colleague about uploading files and recommended I use Total Commander's built-in FTP feature. From that day on, I knew how to upload files.

I honestly don't know what to recommend. I'd say use Linux because a lot of tutorials are doing that. But Linux might bring even more troubles, or you could be exchanging one set of problems for another. macOS might be a good compromise.

For me it was difficult learning how to use computers and how to program them. But I find it rewarding to solve problems and that gets me through the pain.
Probably the best way to monetize an idle CPU is to leave it idle, so that it uses less electricity.

If electricity isn't a concern, and you have a lot of CPU power, perhaps you can get into the cloud business. While AWS and Azure have come to dominate the market, there are still smaller providers (usually called "VPS" providers) that are doing well for themselves.
There is a lot of these "dark ages were not dark" arguments but one can't deny that there is a difference in the world after the fall of the Roman empire.

The author emphasizes people drifting apart and cultural fusions, the natural loss of arts and books due to the medium on which they were written. All of this happens after the fall of any civilization.

Same thing could be said about the Aztecs or any other civilization, their people drifted apart, there was a fusion between cultures and their arts and books were lost due to the medium used to create it (it wasn't fireproof).

The empire didn't fall to any single external force but that is the nature of an empire, unless its conquered by an even stronger empire it always falls from within.

A phone camera is like a multitool. While it can replace a computer or a camera for 80% of the tasks, doing real work still requires a computer or a camera. There are also physical limitations, as in physics. You won't see too many sports or wildlife photographers doing their job with a phone, but for the majority of people who take selfies and snaps of their food, babies and cats, it's perfect. Also for the creative types and new media.
The term FEXPR most likely refers to the fact that in the original LISP, a FEXPR is an interpreted function: it contains expressions which the interpreter must process. All the built-in functions in LISP which do the same thing are called FSUBR, and are written in machine language. For instance LET has a binding to a FSUBR, whereas a user-defined LET-like operator would be a FEXPR. While that adds a new construct to the language, it must itself be interpreted to evoke its semantics.
It depends on your perspective. I feel that we are all humans and all have personal issues. This means it’s okay to talk about them in a healthy manner.

Web 2.0 and 3.0 are not directly comparable just because they have similar names, a fallacy of equivocation.

Web2.0 might have had a silly name, but the idea of the web as something that the average user and company could contribute back to and use to communicate with in real time
provided explicit value and convenience over existing alternatives (letter writing, door-to-door sales, in-person self-promotion, calling a pizza parlor, renting a physical video, long distance phone calls, physical plane tickets mailed to your house…)

I don’t see that with web3.0.
Take all 8 billion human shapes, four right angle corners and straight sides is the test, all sides the same length is expertise. You're saying that all squares are definitely rectangles, which I agree with. I'm saying all rectangles aren't necessarily squares. Then it feels like you're saying there aren't many more rectangles than squares, citing that there are unquestionably squares. Unstated I'm suggesting there are a lot more rectangles than squares, by Sturgeons Law 95% of tests are crud, so there are far more people who passed a test than there are people who passed a test and have expertise. There are so many people in IT with coworkers who passed MCSE or A+ tests but cannot do what the test said they can do that it has become a meme, for one example.

That 5% of tests are rigorous and accurately identify squares is not really something I question, but I might question that the people who pass them were "taught to take the test" and nothing else.

(Would you say 7 years of degree, medical school, hospital residency, rotation around departments, counts as "teaching to the test", i.e. "an unhealthy focus on excessive repetition of simple, isolated skills ("drill and kill") [which] limits the teacher's ability to foster a holistic understanding of the subject matter."? - from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teaching_to_the_test )

A lot of this happens due to a basic lack of understanding of how documents flow at best, pure negligence at worst. Ads and lazy loaded content are being dropped into elements without min heights causing everything to just suddenly shift down. The other thing some of these sites do is take raw lazy loaded json and render a whole view (who would have thought, an on-demand slideshow is jarring if you didn’t account for how it’s gonna just be plopped onto the page). They are also dynamically formatting dates, author names, titles, plopping in client side a/b testing, etc.

Some people really should be fired honestly.
This is an observational study, not strong enough to make any conclusions; The determination if a patient had taken ivermectin was self-reporting. There is no control of the dosage and how much time the patients took ivermectin before getting covid.

This is at best an indication of the need for better studies about the subject, but considering that Brazil's president is rabid pro-ivermectin and this was made in a medium city in a region favorable at the president, take this with a grain of salt.

I don’t see that as a useful question at all. The fact that China has working AP1000 reactors is one piece of circumstantial evidence that regulatory regime has an effect on the ability to build nuclear reactors in a timely way.

If you think that the regulatory regime plays a role, then there are three obvious questions to ask:
(1) is our current regulatory regime Pareto optimal on a safety versus build time plot? I.e. are there changes that we could make which improve build time without negatively affecting safety?
(2) should we consider moves along the Pareto front? I.e. should we trade some safety for some construction speed? Or vice versa?
(3) are there things that we can learn from other regulatory approaches that would help us address question 1 or 2? Your proposed question fits under here, but it should be much broader than the way you posed it.

Ask HN: What am I doing wrong?
Hey HN! I browse this site quite often and have finally reached a "breaking point" so to speak. I'm a self-taught developer located in the US and got my first dev job around 6 months ago. It's a remote position paying just over $20p/h. I enjoy writing software and pay wasn't a huge factor at the time. I was just happy to collect a paycheck doing something I love.

However, I browse this site and frequently see 6 figures thrown around casually for Jr. Dev positions and it blows my mind. I come from a very poor family and the thought of making "even" $70-80k feels unrealistic. I've applied to job listings in and above that range, but have yet to receive so much as an email back. Skill-wise I would probably put myself a bit above the "average" Jr. Dev and feel I have a lot to offer, but when I every day on HN I see discussions of salaries that are several times what I make for the same job I can't help but wonder what I'm doing wrong to not be receiving offers in these ranges.

I've been critical of Tesla before for various reasons, "Building throwaway cars" being one, and people keep insisting that, no, really, this year, Tesla has fixed their problems and such.

If you can deliver a car without a brake pad, that speaks to epic quality control failures (EDIT: A comment in the article points out the green "quality control" mark that is obvious on the caliper, which should indicate that everything was assembled properly - so things are seriously broken if it can be assembled wrong and then have a QC mark applied while still being entirely wrong). I cannot imagine Honda or Toyota shipping a car without a brake pad. I can't imagine Ford or GM doing it either. I'd be down into the "Uh... I think I've heard of you once..." non-western car manufacturers before it wouldn't surprise me.

Then, the absolutely horrid service center experience of "Oh, no, you don't know what you're talking about, that's normal, and we can't fix it any time soon anyway" is just absurd.

I know Tesla likes to rag on the horrors of the dealership model, but, seriously, I can't imagine getting this treatment with a legacy automaker. Not that I worry about them forgetting to put pieces in, either.

But that seems to be a pattern. Excepting me (I thought the pandemic was going to be handled well by American bureaucracy), everyone I know adapted well before the government, cancelling trips, taking money out of the market, stuff like that. So it’s possible that in this group, what is heretical is different.

I just try to keep things in perspective, it's pretty wild how many pictures I took with my iPhone 4S because it finally had a reliably good camera.

If I can't take high quality pictures with a iPhone 12, that's a creative issue, not hardware. Low light capture is better than my DSLR ever was without a tripod, also.

Todo lists are tools, like a hammer. Hammers can be used to end life, but also to build houses. The tool is rarely good or bad in itself, but either suitable or unsuitable to do a certain job.

In my experience, todo lists are suitable for keeping you focused on a set of tasks. However, they seem not so good are being a complete system of task scheduling. Over time they often fill up and have no clearly defined mechanism of clearing not-so-relevant-anymore tasks.

Therefore, I create a new todo list every day. First, I write down what I think, that I will get done today. Second I take a look at yesterdays list and decide for every open task if I will get it done today or if it should go to the backlog or graveyard. As the final step I look at the backlog, but mostly decide to just go with the list I already have.

This procedure helps me to focus and get daily tasks done. What it doesn't support is prioritization. To accomplish that I tend to reflect every few weeks on what I should be doing more and what I should be doing less and changing my calendar accordingly.

So I use todo lists primarily for daily focus, instead of expecting them to solve hard priority issues.

Just as a bit of UX feedback, it's difficult to read this method of specifying the fingering. You display a finger-to-note lookup when you really want a note-to-finger lookup. It would be more useful to specify e.g. "left hand: 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3" and "right hand: 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5" for learning purposes.

Edit: most awesome would actually be an animation of the hand playing the scale with cross-unders and whatnot but that sounds like a lot of work.
