When the article talks about "mental exhaustion", it is talking about short-term mental fatigue from the likes of working too long on a mental task. It is not talking about chronic fatigue or burnout due to chronic stress, or ME/CFS, for which exercise may cause worsening of symptoms. In that case stress reduction is likely the better solution, and exercise managed so you are not doing too little or too much.

Making this comment because I suffered (and recovered from) ME/CFS myself.
There's no delusion around lifting restrictions and mandates. Those were always unsustainable and can't be maintained indefinitely regardless of risks.

What was delusional was the unscientific belief that the virus could be eradicated, or that some people could be protected from infection. The reality is that the virus is going to run its course no matter what we do and everyone will be exposed. Fortunately the vaccines and other treatments are pretty effective at preventing deaths.

I'd rather use Secretive (https://github.com/maxgoedjen/secretive), to be honest.

I've stopped using 1Password everywhere I can due to their product "focus", and am working my way through a set of alternatives (currently using Secrets on the Mac and looking at the KeePass ecosystem, which keeps improving monthly):

Edit: It's been fun watching this get upvoted and downvoted in successive waves - for those who are curious, I suggest you check previous posts on 1Password and see if you can spot patterns in their advocates, since they were publicly called out on this a few times already (especially on Twitter).
Hard disagree. Isolationism doesn’t do the world any favors - it just breeds provincial viewpoints like so.
I’m not sure. Even then, knowing Japanese atrocities in all of Asia, it’s probably better to just keep fighting to the death as opposed to being subject to slavery, rape, or human experiments.

I’m sure a part of the reason the Japanese refused surrender was because their reflection in the mirror was not pretty.
I think you're blind and empire.

I look at it simple, I can live under American Hegemony, Chinese Hegemony or Russian Hegemony.

China and Russia are oppressive places to live - arguably china more than Russia - by most metrics, Russia is considerably more free than China. That as an aside, China and Russia are considerable risks to the worlds economic and political stability.

I consider our invention and use of atomic weapons quite just, and not even a debating point.
> The OP is textbook biological reductionism

And is that wrong? Of course we're reducible down to biological impulses in the end. Part of understanding higher level cultural phenomena is understanding our biological interactions, how they were historically shaped by our evolutionary past, and how those adaptations affect us in a drastically different modern context.

Certainly sounds a lot more scientific than, say, dismissing all the research as "biological reductionism."
Thank you! Nice to hear that one of my explicit design goals worked out :)

In my opinion, these kinds of tools, which you only need once in a while, need to take as little cognitive load as possible. People have something to get done, don't get in their way.
Slow down and enjoy some humor once in a while my friend.

I'm quite certain that ASCII was designed to make overstrike feasible. Overstrike just wasn't explicitly part of the standard. The quip about it being a "multi-byte encoding for Latin" was a joke made funnier (to me, and perhaps only to me) by having a kernel of truth in it.
I knew right away this was going to be Adam Neely.
> Consider a function that is async and throws an error. Is this [x] or [y]?

Is it not that one of these is "an async function that may throw an error immediately" and one "an async function that may throw an error asynchronously"?
Pitch is a perceptual feature of sound, quantized within a musical scale. It is relational, in the sense that pitch probably wouldn't have meaning outside of a musical context that defines multiple pitches.

Frequency is a physical measurement of a periodic waveform.

Generally, a tone is composed of harmonics, which have frequencies that are integer multiples of a fundamental frequency. The pitch physically corresponds to the fundamental frequency of harmonic sound (or a sound that is mostly harmonic). But the relationship is complicated, as we can perceive two tones as having the same pitch (and fundamental frequency) even if the actual spectrum of one of them does not actually contain a component at the fundamental frequency (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental).

This is because our brain will fill in the fundamental frequency if a tone has most of its harmonics. This is why you can hear bass notes of a song even if the speaker you're listening to doesn't have the frequency response to actually reproduce the fundamental frequency.

I hope some of this nuance is making this make sense.

There's also a concept of "pitch class", which is the idea of what you might call "C-ness" of every C note on the piano. In other words, octave equivalance, or the fact that you can substitute nearby C for each other without ruining harmony. Pitch, in some ways, is the intersection of pitch class and a specific fundamental frequency.
We use Duo Push with 1Password. It supports lots of 2FA types.
Yeah, discussion is the word they're looking for, and the reality is that since HN is an English website, it's unlikely to notice something happening in a non-English country unless it's really explosive or gets reported in English somewhere.

Even with AWS - us-east-1 goes down and it's top of the HN, but if af-south-1 eats it it might not even register.

It's only taught as a series of facts to remember if you're not involved in practical application.. AKA actually playing music.

If you're getting a practical education in this stuff you learn bits of theory right at the point they make perfect sense and you "Grok" them quickly and internalize them without having to think of them as memorizable facts.

E.x. you are directly associating a particular part of the music theory with a direct link to muscle memory on your chosen instrument. It's burned into your muscle memory already and now you have just associated the theory with the practice. Every time you perform that technique or type of passage it just reinforces the theory.

Another example.. understanding the difference between a minor chord and major chord or 7th/diminished/augmented chord, or the difference in how two different intervals relate means a totally different thing to a person who has practiced those things till they can differentiate them by ear than a person who cannot differentiate them by ear.

Perhaps all this is a weakness in an age where a lot of people are making music on computers in ways that break this type of link.

It's all very analogous IMO to someone who has read a book about a sport but has never actually played the sport.
This is a good questions and deserves an answer. The decision to murder one hundred thousand human beings was made not by the leadership of the United States but by the Japanese Imperial command when they decided to start and continue the war. So the blood of these people is on the hands of the Japanese Imperial Command and none else.

This is also the case when a murderer is put to death for their crime. The murderer is responsible for the person he killed and his own death; the state who put him to death is not responsible for his murder.
Problem is that there's cases like foo.tar.gz. What's the extension there?
I am always amazed at how slow any build process that involves webpack always becomes.

Webpack runtime is well over 50% of the total time on our CI server builds, and that includes an installshield installer build and thousands of dotnet unit tests that are more complex than they ought to be in that pipeline.
I was a CS major... then I had like 5 other majors before I dropped out of college altogether. I never had traditional "software engineering" job. There are a million things you can do. These last few years I've been going deep into some esoteric cybersecurity research. Coding is helpful to get the job done, but it's not assembly line style programming.
Use intercom for this
Personally, this is the best science fiction I've ever read.
Personally I really don't like code that deals with time - it's too easy to place a "get time stamp" call anywhere in code. If it's down in the bowels of some piece of functionality trying to test it becomes a headache.
I wouldn't say that it's all a "joke" in the context of assurance. I know a number of vendors that implement mTLS as part of their customers onboarding. I wouldn't be surprised to see product movement in this space to better address the consumer markets (maybe financial first?) with something that better manages and abstracts this for them. This, in many ways, solves a lot of exposure issues, but at the cost of what's overly complex for most users today.
No problem. Thank you! Added to the very long list of things to look into from this thread.

Let’s assume BTC replaces fiat (USD). One way that it changes what you’ve described is that you wouldn’t be forced to gamble on equities or other assets to stay afloat. You’d have the option to simply hang on to your currency until another asset class enticed you enough to invest. It affords you some time to simply do nothing. Currently, you can’t afford to sit and wait and research assets. You need to stay out of fiat to stay afloat, constantly restructure your portfolio, etc. if you don’t do these things, you bleed buying power over time.

With sound money, people could work and save without needing to constantly gamble just to
maintain buying power.
It would be equivalent to a hamburger patty shaped like a steak.
Good luck getting the first two passed into law, at least in the US. "Encourage couples..." will get no traction. We still have a ton of littering, and all the religious groups in the US (the Quiver Full movement etc) will love that. Cutting trade based on a country's birth rate and adding tariffs based on EI etc will be extremely problematic.

Sure anything can be done "democratically." But politics is the art of the possible...
This is quite interesting -- I think digging into how long this would be efficient for would be interesting.

I often feel that the most refreshed I feel is if I combine high intensity aerobics with the outdoors -- something about the ocean or forest always bring peace and makes me feel focused for the rest of the day. It would be nice to dig into how setting us also helps.
My pet theory for why it worked back then has been that my brain is easily fooled, sensed a life and death scenario and released adrenaline which sharpened me, but I'm no specialist, I just know some tricks that sometimes work for me.)
None of these rules are for digital advertising as this article was written in 1982. This is also an advertisement, not a paper on JSTOR so you're not going to find citations. Many market studies are proprietary as there's no reason to provide information you paid tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for to the competition.

You are, however, correct, in that there is such a thing as advertising that is wasted. This waste is what has sparked the creation of the hypertargeted ad market we live in today.
The research and discussions between devs on protocol changes are public. The mechanics of who gets access to make transactions, who prints currency, and how transactions are confirmed is public.
We had situation where if you worked late, the test suite would consistently fail.

Since developers rarely worked late and would give up when hitting the "random" test suite failure and go home, the bug persisted for months before the true cause was understood.

Our time zone was UTC-5, and the test suite contained a local-vs-UTC bug which only triggered between 7pm and midnight.
This could also be a perverse incentive reflected algorithmically (whether on purpose or not). Google has better data and makes more money when users are identified. So they have a vested interest in making users think that they will get worse results in Incognito mode.

Personalization is a double-edged sword. @pg once wrote about Google results becoming "what's true for you" rather than what's objectively true. And filter bubbles and subtle "personalization censorship" are also dangers. I think it's possible to have high quality results and privacy/anonymity, and it's not a binary choice. It's a challenge worth figuring out.
Worked as a Perl dev for 15 years and enjoyed it. The hardest thing was the number of ways to do OO Perl using Perl5. Everyone has their own flavor. And TMTOWTDI was a motto the community was proud of.

Having said that, nothing could touch mod_perl performance under Apache in the late 90s. Massive web apps were built on this including eToys dot com where I worked before it imploded in the dot-com bust.
Exactly what you say; sleep on it first. Make sure you've done your background work. But then, don't be afraid to contact them.

> I am very good at asking stupid questions. Thankfully, my teammates are patient with me.

Are your questions really so stupid, are theirs really so much smarter when they ask, or are you being harsh on yourself perhaps.
> Ah yes. English. How did you put it? "To say that a people who have no sense of their own nation created the Indian nation is a joke."

You should get your timelines in order. English is used in modern India. However, like everywhere else, if you go back in time, the invaders imposed their language and customs on the local population. If the Chinese had conquered Central and South America instead of the Europeans, Mexico and Brazil would be speaking Chinese today instead of Spanish and Portuguese. That doesn't mean that American civilizations were ignorant or uncivilized or that they didn't have their own languages.

> Additionally, "Although Widely Spoken, Around 56% of Indians Don't Identify Hindi as Their Mother Tongue"

Doesn't matter. Most people understand the language as a lot of Indians are multilingual.

> The fact is that India has as much "shared religion" as Europe.

Only someone who doesn't understand Hindus and their religion can make such assertions. What is called Hinduism has been a way of life across the subcontinent for millennia. Even the name is irrelevant. People don't "become" Hindus. They simply "are."

The characters and stories in our sacred texts are not about incidents that happened in Arabia and Africa that is then taught to children in Poland or Ireland or Turkey who have nothing to do with them. They are about our ancestors in this very place. While peoples within Europe might have something similar, Europe as a political entity will never have it.

Sadly I don't frequent a gym anymore, but this is an idea I'd never have thought of.

You can argue that this is a feedback loop, though.

I can survive on minimum wage in the UK, therefore if I earn min wage + 1,000 (after tax), I can afford these subscriptions.

The question is whether I prefer that over other things.

I prioritised learning materials, computers, etc in my youth when I had a hilariously low budget and it paid dividends.

The questions IMO are:

1) to what extent is the economy zero sum, e.g. can everyone avoid being a retail worker

and

2) if we satisfy 1, how do we expand critical thinking such that people invest in themselves
>There's evidence that the US military used similar techniques in the Korean war.

By our own army's admittance, we conducted similar bombing of basically every North Korean city and town. We dropped 160,000 tons of bombs on Japan, 635,000 tons on North Korea.
"Duncan finds analogous anxieties in our Age of Search — the suspicion that by making it ever easier to access information, Google might in fact be making us lazier and dumber, allowing us to glide along the shallows instead of forcing us to venture into the depths. Duncan is less worried. "

Considering the several discussions here about how Google is letting its ad business and other corporate concerns distort search, and how users are trying to get around that to find actually useful indexing, this seems like a fairly naive response.
Perhaps "Safe Rust" would be more apt (de-referencing any pointer is unsafe), though I think it's quite fine and well accepted to refer to "Safe Rust" as just "Rust".

Of course, the null pointer can still exist in Safe Rust, but since you can't de-reference it I think it's fine to say Safe Rust is "close enough" to count.
The documentation covers that.

Because Mars could be self sustainable. It has water and the temperatures in the right areas are not that hostile. Mars soil can be used for agriculture. There is sun light.

From Mars its effective to launch to Orbit. Its easy to transport and move around on Mars, Supersonic electric flight is very doable for example.

Low density makes super fast trains very doable as well, massive movement of resources on Mars is orders of magnitude easier on Mars then even in deep water.

What about the Stripe Inc. example? That example alone is a pretty big nail in the coffin for EV in my opinion. Not to mention all the usability problems that user studies have found which render it effectively useless. It's not just the number of clicks either. What about how the corporate names don't match the TLD's? What about conglomerates that have all sorts of entity names? What about misspellings of corporate names, just like misspellings of TLD's?

I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that England would not have surrendered if every single blade of grass and tree stump on the island had been reduced to smoking ash.

Arguable, clearly. But plausible.
No, yes, maybe. So like imagine your a product manager, but your product isnt a CRUD app, its a REST api users hit to get data. They either pay access for it, or more commonly you expose it for people in your enterprise. (So say you work for Walmart or Amazon and your team exposes an api for another team in the enterprise to make updates to a delivery time)

Most product managers are not technical but can understand CRUD apps just fine (the app should do this when the user clicks this!). They struggle when the product is an endpoint you can hit with curl that has an interconnected chain of dependencies and other teams that also expose APIs that are owned by other product managers.
I wonder if social media has weakened our focus to the point where long term change is difficult. BLM matter had a massive run out the gate and then nothing really changed. The Amir Locke shooting has not really taken on a national protest atmosphere like earlier shooting did. There are just so many things to notice today on social media that its difficult to focus on one. You have both sides politically calling for the end of the world if the other side wins, people acting like Joe Rogan is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, etc. Everything no matter how niche is presented as an emergency. Human minds can only focus on so many concurrent emergencies so everything just kind of fades away eventually.
Vaclav Smil, "Growth, From Microorganisms to Megacities"

I agree. They disabled 1Password for Firefox on iOS and force users to use safari with 1Password extension. Before you could access it through share menu and get forms filled out, but they removed that feature. Reached out to support regarding that and their answer was just to use safari.
1Password is used at a lot of medium-small businesses where employees have shared credentials (usually these smaller businesses don't have built-out identity management systems to cover everything with SSO).

A place I worked before would store SSH keys for build machine base images (AWS AMIs) in 1Password. It wasn't worth the trouble trying to setup SSO since the machines rarely needed accessed and only by a handful of people to troubleshoot/manage them.

It's also common to share credentials when you're working with small SaaS that don't support multiple users or SSO. In addition, sometimes business integrations will have fixed credentials (like the SSH key to upload reports to a business partners SFTP server). People still need access to the keys for troubleshooting and debugging.
Thank you :) Even though it's straight to the point, there's so much more to do to help people fix their DNS issues faster. I'll try not to compromise on the simplicity while adding more information.
The organization in question already bypasses the kernel with their “SNAP” scheme. Perhaps they are motivated to keep improving kernel IP stack simply because practically all GCP customers still use it.

Based (only) on the personal experience of going for a run after a day at the computer and then working on a side project, I would say that even after 8 hours you can recover from the mental exhaustion of the day. Not completely, but you would definitely be able to work more/better than without the exercise in between.
