It doesn't need to be a good idea. It needs to be the next step in the branch; consider being in a conversation when some interruption happens. Interruption resolves, you say "and now back to...what was I saying?" In that moment, the value or proposition might have only been an argument or segue towards a broader point, or a sub-digression, but without that connective node, the entire pattern is lost.

You could counter with "then it wasn't a good idea if you didn't remember it" but it's the structure of how we think rather than the quality of the outputs. Why do we retrace our steps when we misplace something? What does that have to do with anything? It's the scaffolding structure around which we build a mental model. It's so you don't run outside and start looking under rocks. If you believe you wouldn't do that, you have to consider then why, and that is innately tied to the pattern-finding structure of our brain.

Creatives may cling to a lost node as the Rosetta stone, perhaps assigning more weight than is qualified, but then you won't actually know unless you find and explore that branch of thought. Its value lies in its unquantifiability.
Okay, but an idea can never make it from seeming to be to actually being a good idea unless you remember it for a sufficiently long duration.
Oh ok yea that would make sense. Worse in the sense of less efficient.

We need to forget, but we first must feel safe forgetting.

Reminds me of some years ago when I finally burnt all sketches and notes, many actually quite pleasant to watch, of a startup I've shutdown in 2015.

I think for me, that it was kind of a rite of passage of what it wasn't meant to be. And I certainly needed the feeling of moving on.
Agree, and obviously my history and K1's can make the case for a whole slew of other traits besides that one.

By "who you are" do you mean a persons intrinsic traits?

I think the fact that "who you are" in these cases implicitly includes a persons network, access to capital and other _extrinsic_ traits should be spoken aloud and acknowledged.

There are a lot of poor, smart kids who feel _less than_ as a result.

A trait I have that is hard to present is that for every dollar invested in me the ROI has been a minimum of 25x, those numbers start at 15 when I dropped out of HS to pay my families rent (with an "illegal" w2 smb network admin job I turned into a coding/marketing automation job) because of my mothers cancer diagnosis.

Many of us end up being out leveraged early on and our map to success takes far more personal torque and grit than others born into more connected and wealthier circumstances.

What I found interesting is that his analysis did not pick up the (now strongly evidenced) degree of inaccurate reporting from India. Indications are that India's covid deaths are between six and seven times higher than reported yet it looks pretty good on the Benford chart.
Thanks for sharing. That is a good strategy to try as I do often let things go either unbounded with no constraints or with too many constraints.

>Kill the subsidies and that whole industry slowly dies. That would be a good thing.

For you, maybe. Not for the millions of rural Americans whose livelihood depends on agriculture subsidies. There's a reason why we have the Senate, a place where Nebraska has the same power as California. It's exactly for situations like this. The US is a massive country full of competing interests, and our founders knew that eventually the urban population would massively outnumber the rural population, leading to a tyranny through rule of the majority. So states were put on equal footing in the Senate to give the rural populations a voice. And because of that, the Senate will never ever allow these subsidies to be cut. There's simply too much support for it among the rural states.
> Very naive question but is it different from what npm, pip, etc. let you do already?

npm, pip, etc.. are CLI install tools. jDeploy supports CLI app distribution using npm also. But the key difference is that jDeploy provides double-clickable installers for the apps. If you're distributing a desktop app, it should be installable in the desktop (IMO). Making users go to the command-line to install the app is actually prohibitive for the average user. Even when your userbase is programmers, I find that making them go into the command-line loses them.

> Does the app installed this way get more permissions coming from a signed installer? I'm not familiar with OSX security model.

Since Catalina, you can't download and run a Mac app in any form unless it is signed and notarized. Using the signed and notarized installer allows you to get around this limitation.
What is according to you the legal link (or logical construction), in between an order to disperse, or not support somebody not dispersing, and a freezing of said person's assets ?

For me, I watch a lot of the same movies frequently, so I buy as much of my movies as possible on physical media. Eventually, I'll have a collection of everything I've ever liked, and I can do $3.99 rents online of anything I'm curious about. If I like it, I'll buy it physically and add it to the collection. I know it's not great if you want to watch movies on your iPad, but I don't want to watch movies on my iPad, that's what a TV is for.

It takes space, but the long term savings are substantial. It especially helps with Blu-rays being relatively cheap on eBay and at thrift stores in my area (I'm averaging $7-$8 per film, way cheaper than buying an online digital version and I physically own it, it just takes patience). I got on the Blu-ray train because it's cheaper than 4K Blu-Ray, but looks way better than DVD on a 4K TV, a nice middle ground. Plus you can find players at thrift stores and often repair them by cleaning the laser assembly for $10 or so.

For music... sorry, Apple Music. I don't have many CDs yet, and music is something I'm more interested in discovering new tracks for than movies.
>>I agree that this is a thing, of course. But it makes for very low quality discussion, since non-toxic users will just let the toxicity fester instead of engaging to mitigate it.

I do not make rules of reddit(I feel that the discussion somehow has took that direction, where... I am defending reddit?) - I just speak from my experience.

There is a reason, why humans can not have on their mind more than one enemy - their brains can not keep track of all the enemies as keeping track of all of them is a nightmare scenario, where brainpower is used just to keep track of all of them. As long as mods are humans, there are no good solutions to keep track of all warnings - maybe AI can do that, but keeping all that information in head is too much garbage - if I have to manage any such forums, banning is the best option for warning, as my brains are not unlimited. If a person convinces, that he has learned a lesson, then the ban can be lifted. Some bans can even expire, so it does not really matter.

When I think of warning, it also has additional information: how long it has to stay, until it is forgotten(because it is not a ban), what that warning was about, because you can't really make warning to kid not to touch hot surface and scald for the same reason, if he touches electric power cable - they are completelly different cases, so I am looking from that viewpoint, that there does not exist proper warning system and 'Reddit Enhancement Suite' is not it as well - from the description it still sounds, that it is meant for banning - not warnings, where warnings are meant to educate and protect people. Warning system means a lot of involvement and without AI, that is not viable, especially when no one is going to pay you for that kind of job.

>>Returning with a new account after being permbanned from a 'sub' counts as ban evasion

Not, if you return with different email, as reddit can ban email, but not a person, so this rule can not be implemented to a person and can be read as guideline. Unless you are a complete idiot and post your id data and after being banned from sub, come back and state that you have returned, then that rule can be applied in that case. And I perceive that rule exactly how it is technically done - that they might ban account and maybe email, that was attached to it - rest takes too much effort and is not really possible to do by reddit(at this stage).
This would drive me crazy. I get along fine with practically everyone, and do pretty well to be easy to work with, but random twenty minute walks with random coworkers would make me feel trapped and awkward. I’m a terrible conversationalist and if I get paired with someone similar it would be twenty minutes of torture.
Ethanol is awesome when it comes to knock resistance because it is much slower burning than gasoline is with all other parameters being equal. Where it bites is that it requires better seals than gasoline, and it has lower energy density, which means you need higher flow fuel pumps, tubing, filters, and injectors to make the same power.

Do that, though, and you can run a turbocharged engine at much higher levels of boost and create much more power than you would be able to do with anything short of race gas or even more exotic and dangerous fuels.
Neither is true, though!

I know we’re getting super meta, but let dang police the site. Neither of us should be dealing with comments or submissions that “don’t fit HN”.
Exactly right. We should allow protests, but only the ones that don't make the government look weak. As soon as the protest starts gaining traction, it needs to be declared illegal so that the minority cannot intimidate legitimate authority.

The story describes what else he was doing and why it was a facade.
That’s a bit too extreme since you still probably want all the UI libraries readily available to make your life easy. You could use server side rendering instead. And as others have said, package “marketing” landing pages without any heavy plugins/modules. Look into chunking, lazy loading etc.
For people thinking about EFS - the backup story is currently not that great. You may see a few days of recovery time for a volume with a few Tbs.

If you have a reasonable number of clients connecting (<20) and do not need access from Fargate or Lambda, then FsX (Ontap, openZFS) is a more well rounded offering.
this looks like a decompiler's take on the "why was 6 afraid of 7" joke.

You could use EMBED to autoplay WAV and MIDI. IE (in classic Microsoft fashion) also defined BGSOUND for the same.

Isn't this either obviously false (yes, corn is in lots of processed foods and oils and most animal feed, but people eat things that don't involve veg. oil, meat, and processed foods all the time) or vacuously true (if we're counting the lining of paper bags, then we should also count plastic made from corn-based ethanol, and trucks that use ethanol in their fuel, and drivers who eat meat which is fed with corn, and we breath air with oxygen produced from corn fields, and...)?
It's not even targeted at me and I found this painful to read.

JSONata: JSON Query and Transformation Language
The way I figure it is, being easy to work with does not mean you do everything asked of you. They are not necessarily the same thing. With the external work requests, it just means you are cordial. When scope blows up then you follow procedure, e.g. you tell them "OK I can't wait to start working on this. It's a larger project though so I'll ask my manager to prioritize it. Let's have a kickoff meeting later this week to plan things out in further detail." Etc.

Bottom line who writes your performance review is who you work for.
This is actually less true than you think, unless you fire someone for something egregious (Pregnancy, joining a union), they only have a right to challenge whether it was fair if they've been at the company for 2 years. So up until 2 years of employment, whilst there are rules about fair dismissals, the employee can't actually go to a tribunal and enforce those rules, making them basically optional.

Seems that HTML rendering was there from day 1.

Falcon 9 reuse means expendable Starships probably will never be a thing (IMHO). Why? Economics. The Falcon 9 can get ~22t to LEO. Starship is planned for ~100t. If the net cost of a Falcon 9 launch (factoring in reuse) is $20m then that puts an effective cap of $100m on the cost of a Starship launch.

You can still launch beyond that but it means you're doing so for non-economic reasons. This could be range (eg geosynchronous or Moon orbit instead of LEO) or larger payloads. Falcon Heavy launches seem to be pretty much exclusively military payloads to high orbits that the Falcon 9 just can't carry.

People forget that payloads are deeply coupled to the launch system. Starship will ultimately allow a much larger payload (eg think of JWST 2.0 but with way less complexity) but that will take years for the industry to adapt to, possibly a decade or more.

Starlink exists in part because the launch demand for getting payloads into space just doesn't exist otherwise. Cheaper launch costs will ultimately create more use cases (because they're now economic) but this will take time too.

Starships may be lost in attempting to land but I honestly believe that attempted landing and reuse will be there from day one.

Is there a viable solution to keeping the locks secure while providing TSA a way to access the bag contents?

The locks must not be compromised. Instead, locks get unique serial numbers. TSA gets portable CNCs specifically designed to make keys, and mills the keys they want by scanning (qr/nfc) the serial no.
Ask HN: How much can you expense without approval?
What dollar amount can you spend on purchases without approval or at least without executive approval? I'm interested in building and selling DevOps tools and wonder if targeting a low friction price point would be a good idea. Is there an amount that doesn't require an expense report? Subscriptions might be auto-approved but annoying if you have to expense it every month. Hopefully this question will benefit anyone targeting audiences working at large corporations.

I learnt a lot from the book 'Writing Compilers and Interpreters' by Ronald Mak.

I have the original edition of the book, which is C++ based (building a language that compiles to x86 assembly), but I see on googling that there is a newer edition that is Java-based, I can't comment upon that, but assume the overall theory and mechanics are just as good (but from the overview it seems it is not only Java-language based in implementation, but also targets the Java VM).

That happened to me as well. I ended up having to create a new account. My previous account was from 2002. The only reason I still have an Amazon account is that the closest big stores are a 2 hour drive away.

I can understand both sides of the equation. I have been getting weary of spending a whole lot on subscriptions on things that don't need be subscriptions.

However, as a developer of small desktop application (which doesn't have recurring costs), I do want to enable subscription to continue to support the application. I still haven't because I'm torn as a user as well as developer. Of course, there is the fear of angering the existing users.

I think people will have to vote with their wallets to the things that they need. If a developer can't pay the bills, the application will be mothballed eventually.
Yes, OP is a particularly ludicrous comment in the context of this article where Starship is getting compared to SLS. SpaceX's long term, self-set ultimate economic goals will certainly take iteration and a lot of work. But that shouldn't disguise that "merely" going up at this point doesn't look that big a deal at all, which is itself a remarkable thing. Once they're getting to orbit it can start doing useful work and generating money while they work on reuse to make it cheap, making ongoing testing an iteration itself profitable. And they still have no competition in even medium-lift reusable rockets let alone heavy lift, which in turn means they have enormous economic leeway. They can afford to charge $/kg far far above their ultimate cost goal and beat the market anyway. As long as they can land Super Heavy, throwing away Starship every single time would still be market shaking for LEO.

Where they will need full reusability is to make in-orbit refueling work out economically long term, and they need that to use Starship in deep space or other high energy work. Though even there if we're comparing to SLS it still looks good because SLS is just that stupid bloated.

My comment is too old to edit now, but I just thought of something:

I saw a video on youtube awhile back about the making of the original Blade Runner. In it, they said that PKD did not live to see the film in theaters, but they were able to show him a 10-15 minute "highlight reel", which included shots of the flying cars. PKD said it was like they were reading his mind, it was so accurate.

So at least to PKD, the original Blade Runner's flying cars were canon. Not that I think the lack of design evolution between the two films seems too realistic, but given the events that occurred between the two films [0][1], I can see lots of technological progress being lost. Consider the scene in 2049 where K brings in the sample for Rachel and the desk employee says that they lost a lot of data during the blackout, and to not expect much for anything this old. Had all that not happened, I'd completely agree that the design of 2049's flying cars seemed too retro, that they would have pioneered new vehicle layouts by then.

> I don't know of a consensus, but I've seen many studies where >20% of people self report working ~20 hours per week.

> Many studies like this: https://www.inc.com/melanie-curtin/in-an-8-hour-day-the-aver... - say that the average white collar worker only works ~20 hours per week.

Another way of phrasing this is that people tend to be productive for 50% of the time they spend "working". It's not self evident that people will still be productive for those 20 hours if the work day was shortened. It could just as easily be the case that people will still goof off for 50% of the shortened work day.

From my coworkers in india, I think that India's reporting has been less to do with inaccuracy and more to do with their entire healthcare system just crumbling under the pressure of covid.

I don't think I've ever been paid more or hired directly due to my networking skills, but I think it has greatly helped me to be good at my jobs and get recognition from my peers and managers that either my existing knowledge or my willingness to learn was critical to product/project success.

It seems the more I learn about networking, the more I just realize how much I don't actually fully understand.

To clarify, I don't think ONLY knowing about networking is a good move. But being a software engineer who happens to have an additional extensive knowledge of networking will definitely get noticed at the places I've worked.
