This was the value I saw in my PhD. It has opened doors to jobs where the people I work with are brilliant and generally objective in their evaluation of competing ideas. It is an absolute treat to work in an environment like that. On many occasions, I worked with people who just knew more than me on a certain topic, and I was enthusiastic to take a back seat and learn from them.
That sounds nice! I'll try it.

Is it possible to then export the cards to Anki?
There may be some type of caching problem. When I visit https://marginalia.nu directly, I'm served with this cert, which does not include the apex domain: https://crt.sh/?id=6046506678

Having experienced extended exposure to the kind of low-frequency noise emitted by wind farms and its effect on psychological health, I feel it is not at all hyperbole to call it "torture."

I'm afraid that even in most urban areas, the low-frequency noise would stand out from typical background noise and have noticeable health effects on the community.

There is a growing literature on the health effects of low-frequency noise, and also on (mostly losing) battles of communities against nearby wind farms.

To be clear, YSFlight is partially open-source software.

Here is official repo[0] of its GUI toolkit (OpenGL-based) and various miscellaneous apps based on it.

PolygonCrest (aka `ysgebl`), an official 3D editor for addon making for YSFlight, based on the same toolkit as YSFlight, is fully free & opensource.

Felt the pain too.

I tried quite a few keyboards and layouts.

What worked for me is mainly the Dvorak layout and a small keyboard. I can code quite comfortably and for a long time on a MacBook.

That’s the cheapest solution but be sure to install and train with a touch typing software (i believe i used Klavaro on linux). You will be productive again more quickly.

For the extra comfort, I bought an EZ plank (i used a typematrix before). Small ortholinear keyboards are great. Split keyboards seems fantastic but i like the small thing on my desk.

I use both a master mx mouse and an apple touchpad. That’s my only pain right now. I switch from one to the other or occasionally use the keyboard’s mouse feature to avoid hands travel and change the repetitive movements. This part is not perfect but the pain is really low.

Lastly, I cut a piece of wood to serve as a palm rest and put the the touchpad below the keyboard. Very comfortable.

Hope it will help someone else…
Beekeeper is pretty good. We’re also working on open sourcing our sql editor but it’s not ready yet.
Minimum wage is de-facto 15, with Amazon offering at least that everywhere. Now we see additional requests for increase. This will never stop. The problem is not with the minimum wage amount, it's with helping people getting off of that, minimum wage should be a temporary stopgap in a person's life.
Living on minimum wage sucks hard, no matter the amount. If you increase it, you will only have more people living on minimum wage, struggling to make ends meet. At 7.25, a person doing 20 was fine. Now at 15, a person doing 20 is struggling.

There is something magical when everyone leaves their ego at the door and is willing to build upon each other’s ideas like improv.

In the end, you’re left committing to only one idea and everyone is supporting it because that’s the only way it’s going to be successful. This is known intrinsically by everyone participating.

What this quote is missing is all the context. They were fighting for time and had to make a decision to get started on experiments. Many of these contributors were doing experimental work and Feynman was doing theoretical work.

Also he was 24 years old at the time.
I despise smokers, fat goblins as much as antivaxxers like you. The whole argument about preventing transmission is only 2-3 months old what was the hesitation for the rest of the 1 1/2 years we have vaccines available? Cop out after cop out :)
This made me almost cry. In most companies the person who is the loudest or most persistent wins. The merit of an idea is almost irrelevant.
The person you’re responding to specifically mentioned TIPS.

Your response seems to imply you don’t know what they are because they’re explicitly linked to inflation with a factor linked to CPI.

So if inflation goes up 7.5% in a year then your principal invested in a TIPS bond goes up 7.5% even before you get the “nothing” coupon payment.

No, because he’s clearly describing an engineering problem, not a physics problem.
That disgusts me. As far as I understand it's not FPGA but instead a CPU with locked down features that exist in the IC and special software would enable them to function. Personally I think that really attacks our freedom and I don't think that this should even be included in the mainline Kernel.
That part would almost have made me laugh, if this wasn't such a serious topic.
This has all been coming together for me in the last two weeks, including the article on "learning to unlearn perfectionism." After 34 years of ADHD (inattentiveness), I'm well versed in all the type A tricks for knocking out tasks, but noticed how they worked in reverse priorty order. Was stubborn to try to adapting, to make it work for me, but this community has helped.

I realized I was "laterally productive" in college when I had an overloaded priority list. I spent a lot of time trying to clear my list up by abstaining from things I liked with the goal of having more time to focus on high priority tasks.

The self deception makes complete sense to me, but I don't know if I can ascribe fake priority to things. Weird wiring, that you have to deprioritize important tasks to do the important tasks.

Yes, based on your personal risk. The vaccine substantially decreases your risk of severe disease from SARS-CoV-2 infection, even if you think that is a low baseline risk.

As a young person this comes with a slightly elevated risk of myocarditis, which can be mitigated by taking BNT (30 ug dose) or a half dose of moderna (50 dose). The UK study being discussed elsewhere in here estimates that risk (for young people) on par with risk of myocarditis from SARS-CoV-2 infection

If you have had a confirmed infection in the past then you have some immunity so the calculus is a bit different. Probably you should still get one vaccine dose, especially if your infection was pre-omicron

My main point is, there is plenty of data available for people to make this assessment for themselves, and holding out for FDA release is not going to provide meaningfully better insight into this risk assessment
I can see how this is bad for Booking.com users (quality will likely go down) and current employees.

But it's a good thing for a lot of people from third world countries that Majorel will inevitably hire: what might be a bad salary for this person from France is likely a great deal for the places where this jobs go.

So, from a bystander viewpoint — is this ethically a bad thing? People from poor countries out-competing their counterparts from developed countries? I'm not sure.

Feynman is impressed because the committee remembered the best argument and got to the right decision without Compton having to insist on himself. Compton made the best argument, once, and won.

If the committee didn't choose Compton's idea, it would just be an average lame committee where quality of thought isn't a priority.

There's a reason "design by committee" is an epithet. People thinking in groups normally suck at it.
Possibly dumb question, but have you considered looking for a successor to take over the project?

Homebrew has basically reached the point where it's "critical infrastructure" for macOS devs, and it would really be a damn shame to see it slowly fade away just because the creator has moved onto other things.
I think this is idea of Google Pathways (Multitude of Expert model). I mean it already works like that in every model but I think they train it differently to have it more separated.

Show HN: Pumbaa – A portfolio simulation tool for passive, index investments
Hi HN,

About a year ago I wrote a few scripts and spreadsheets to calculate the historical performance of various passive investment portfolios. There is portfoliovisualizer.com but if you are not from the US it's less relevant because everything is calculated with respect to the US dollar, and you cannot combine funds from other countries (say from the EU).

In the past month I managed to turn it into a web app with the goal of giving individuals better tools for financial education. It allows you to build a portfolio composed of a few index funds (ETFs or mutual funds) and simulate its historical performance. It currently works with 7 currencies and includes funds from the US, EU, UK, Canada and Israel. Intentionally, only broad-market, passive index funds are included.

If all of this doesn't mean much to you, you can visit the examples page to get a taste of some interesting portfolios. Here is an interesting example: For the past 22 years, US long-term treasuries had very similar returns to the S&P 500 (cherry-picked dates, but still interesting) [1].

On the technical side: The backend is a simple Flask app. A task runs once a day in the background to fetch the latest prices of ETFs and mutual funds from 20+ sources (central banks, stock exchanges). Frontend is Tailwind for CSS and a bit of native Javascript with d3. Everything runs on a $10/mo VPS.

This is my first web app and there is still a lot of room for improvement so any feedback is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

For that to happen, COVID would have to either kill nobody in 2020 so it could continue that in 2021, or abruptly stop killing people in 2021 (by what mechanism?) as soon as vaccines were rolled out anywhere (but not in places where they weren’t rolled out, how would it know?), and all vaccines would have to have the same effect despite working in different ways.

Maybe it's not necessary for everyone to be at the same level, you just need to have everyone knowing everyone else's level and be humble about it. "Bob says the tractor can't pull this load, and he knows more about tractors than I do."

If German law forbids people from drawing analogies to the Nazis and saying "this is bad, it looks like Nazi-ism and we shouldn't do this" then the law is truly backwards. The whole point of not denying the Holocaust is to learn generalizable lessons from it.
We're talking about the user's perspective here, not Google's. For the user the search has one purpose, and that isn't looking at ads. Just like nobody opens a newspaper to look at them.

The point was that nobody really needs advertising to learn about available products. Google search stays just as useful if you block the ads, the other way around nobody would use it.

This post is actually a great way to review any library. But there are two things I’d add:

> While Google is useful, ranking in Google Search is a popularity contest, not a quality test. To be exhaustive, we started with the initial list of libraries we found back in 2019 and used the references to other libraries in their documentation to find more.

In this case NPM and GitHub search are great for this. You can also sort by many important attributes and filter by keywords.

The other point that was unaddressed is to actually read the source code. Is the source easy to understand? Depending on the library the source code might be an important source of documentation.
I built a product monitoring tool couple months ago, because I had problems with knowing what users do in my app without looking into the database.

Usually I was sending some logs to Slack, but I didn't get any stats from that and couldn't read easily the history of events/logs, so I created the Logspot which monitors user activity and automates workflows (WIP).

Couple of users has registered - not much, but I'm still hoping it's going to take off some day.

Not crazy about that quote. It is in fact too late, for example, for my dad to have been a good father. I'm a grown man with kids of my own, that relationship can't be fixed to "what might have been".

I get it, I'm probably being too pedantic, but it really is too late to do or be certain things sometimes.

With that said, I agree with your quote, you can't do anything about the past so do what you can with the future.
I agree. I was playing devil's advocate to an extent. At the time Rails was the first modern MVC framework as we understand it.

Didn't they rewrite everything in PHP during the last 2000s due to Rails at the time just not being able to scale?

Frankly, I believe that any form of mind upload or consciousness transfer is a much harder problem than both rejuvenation and interstellar spaceflight.

Looking at current aging research, there's a good possibility we'll see rejuvenation in the next decade or two and it'll profoundly change our society. In 20 years, everyone will be looking 25 years old and pointing at frail people with wrinkly faces and laughing, same way we do today with antivaxxers.

Once that's out of the way, we'll eventually get comfortable with building arbitrarily large objects on orbit, and we could as well build a huge spaceship with an onboard self-sustaining ecosystem and fly that to other stars, the boring way. Yes, it will be a very long journey, but it's possible without the reliance on yet to be discovered new physics.
ToastUI (https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor), which builds on ProseMirror, was really easy to set up and has been very stable for us. It's a WYSIWYG editor that just renders markdown, which is what we wanted to have as the base representation for written content so we have some portability later depending on how our product evolves.
This is deeply commendable work and a real public service. Access to public transportation is an issue for a lot of people, and outside of the usual issues of cost, often comes down to people finding the PT systems difficult and hard to use. When people make their own apps and make them freely available with the PT data, those apps are usually lightyears ahead of the official apps to the degree that it is embarrassing.
I use TipTap as a rich text editor in my open-source weekly journaling app.[0]

One of the big gotchas I've had with TipTap is that it's extremely sluggish once you get to more than 300 words or so and you're using different formatting options. There's a multi-second delay between typing the word and the text appearing in the screen.

The APIs are pretty nice, and I was able to convert to/from Markdown with it easier than other solutions I looked at, but the performance really reduces usability.

I've only used the FOSS version, so maybe TipTap Pro is better.

Exactly what happened is somewhat tied up with Australia becoming a republic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republicanism_in_Australia). The Dismissal is still somewhat of a sore point for the Labor Party, and discussions of it and its implications to now are common (see https://search-beta.abc.net.au/index.html?siteTitle=news#/?q..., which I'm pretty sure is missing out 90% of the ABC content on the topic, there was a bunch of old archives released last year (2021) which started up the discussions again).
You can export yes, not entirely sure if you can export to Anki.

3. All highlights & notes from your entire account organized by article.

I think that's how it works. Wrote the export code a while ago so the details escape me at the moment.
