Yeah it is, because it sucks you in. I'm working hard, I have not achieved any significant success yet, but I really love the whole lifestyle of work, work, work. And it's a mish mash, sometimes I get to work on really interesting stuff, sometimes it's super boring, but I learned to appreciate even the boring. Or learn to appreciate pain that comes from doing the same boring thing over and over. I'm big on Zen practice. This is the key for me. I do 40 - 60 min of formal practice every day and I try to put it in other activities, including work. I even have a journal were I measure my mental state based on various objective criteria - i.e. what was my body awareness when I was working - this is somehow makes me love it, and especially the boring stuff, because then it's not only about doing the work, but training my mental state while doing the work.

Because the key thing is, and that's the whole reason I write this message, is that if you learn to love something as boring as sitting still or walking circles around the room, and seeing how there's an endless potential for improvement on such a simple thing, you will see that everything is interesting. That kind of engagement can be developed.

And I'm talking about engagement, yes. Engagement equals happiness.
All for profit media is biased trash to live and enjoy your life far away from.

There's no objectivity especially with political news (barf) and world event news (things that try to control your life).

Ive posted this same sentiment many times here on hacker news about the garbage media .. always gets voted down. But im passionate about living and enjoying life far from it .. think for myself and for me my relationships with people are most important not some dumb for profit news cycle that's manipulated bias trash. Such will never come between me and someone i care about! They can believe that garbage they fill their head with but i only very briefly give my opinion on it and move the topic to something positive/fulfilling!

I am avid reader of tech, entertainment and some local news cause that's fluff vs brainwashing/try to control how I enjoy the time Im here on earth.
this is part of the issue but not the entirety. If it was just the currency that was collapsing you would see wages spiraling out of control as well.

i think, what we're seeing here is housing has been made nearly impossible to build by regulation and zoning. Also, large imbalances between where jobs are and where places to live are, exacerbate the issue immensely.

Over the course of the last decade, I've come to accept that things are the way they are because many many people want it that way. There is large scale support for ever increasing housing costs among the voting population. this is because most voters own real estate and they simply want to those values to go up and up forever, regardless of the consequences to the next generations and the future of humanity. I had noticed this taking place in the US but I've been seeing this phenomonen happening all over the world in the so called "first world".
Try not to consider career planning as being in the same category as task management. Instead, have a broad vision and keep a look out for opportunities that might bring you closer to that vision. Opportunities present themselves all the time; it's up to us to have the attention to notice them and the judgement to know when (not) to take them.
Remote towns have been stagnate or depopulating for decades. The problems for residents may be lack of services, high taxes, high energy costs, lack of opportunity, access to shipping, etc.

From the government's perspective. There are many factors for not building and improving remote towns. Some are:
a) climate change (vehicles, heating, trucking and more)
b) lack of infrastructure (gas, roads, railroads, healthcare)
c) lack of budget (most of Federal revenues go to redistribution payments)

The biggest issue I've noticed in Canada is a lack of will. Ibn Khaldun noticed later in a nation, citizens view the function of government as a means to provide leisure. Western Civilization is obviously going through a time of major upheaval. The 1950s - 1990s were an aberration, I don't think we're going to see those standards of living in the future. We can't expect large scale shipping routes to remote locations, so people can live in detached housing. Future housing will likely be large scale, high density, low sqft apartments designed for maximum efficiency of energy and infrastructure.

My thoughts are the nation technically doesn't need many people living in rural areas. The collective pursuits will win over the individual in the future.
Sep 24, 2020: NY transit workers created an underground 'man cave' in Grand Central to 'get drunk and party,' MTA says

Maybe I haven't seen a good implementation but I wouldn't say WebAuthn works. I have yet to seen a version that syncs across devices which is a fundamental requirement for me. I'm also not sure how I can type in a WebAuthn credential to someone else's computer or how I can memorize it so that I can use it when I am away from my phone+computer.

Both approaches clearly have gaps right now, all I am saying is that long term I think the password+PAKE looks more promising than what WebAuthn offers.
I agree, though traffic circles or roundabouts are the standard design pattern for a multi-way intersection without stop signs or traffic lights.

> Add a Z-Machine interpreter (up to v8) with Palm/Graffiti like input and I'm sold.

Handwriting recognition would be a nice feature and could even enable direct messages between the two players!

> No programming fun, then :(.

I disagree - there was plenty of programming fun! My C/C++ was a little rusty and I enjoyed getting the hang of it again. Working so close to the hardware is such a different mindset from my other recent projects, there was so much to learn and I found it very rewarding!

I also just found out that tinygo supports this SoC and even has a driver for the ILI9341!

> I'd love to play some IF with "real life" like input, as if I was writting in cursive.

No idea what IF is in this context :/ Interactive Fiction? Input File? International Fleet? Intermittent Fasting?

> With an e-ink display those games would last months without a power charge...

True, but e-ink would not be suitable for the collaborative drawing (or 'synchronized chalkboard' as you called it)

I fail to see your point. The law is not mandating equal pay, just transparency on the average salary for people doing the same work (which is trivial to establish in any large corporations where job descriptions are somewhat standardised). Obviously it’s not going to change much in a company where only two people do the same job but that’s not the work environment of most employees.
Could you point to a case where a fully patched Pixel, running Google Android or Graphene, has a vuln that is fixed by Lineage?

Seeing nothing but the opposite.
Because Taiwan has such a large export of stuff the USA desperately wants/needs, I'm not sure you are right that the USA will let China take Taiwan. See TSMC for one example :)

What does the USA need/want from Russia, other than for them to stop being antagonistic against the USA? Nothing that I can see.
I’ve been in places where the only available coverage is 3g. To move from that to 4/5G maybe worthwhile if the areas of coverage remain the same. It’d be interesting to know how they’re handling that aspect of things.

Also, my point was more: if you need to run Lineage, your phone hardware just isn't as secure as a Pixel, in multiple meaningful ways.
I go to a lot of college football games. (i'm going to put cte concerns aside here for a bit)

Most of those players have zero chance at a professional career, many by their final season know it. And yet they push themselves to achieve / try achieve great things or at least things they never thought they could.

I rushed the field for a game last year, talked to players who were ecstatic mingling among the fans / celebrating.

I like to think that benefits them / even me.
I used to listen to NPR while doing chores like washing dishes, laundry, driving, etc. As of late, I’ve come to be increasingly dissatisfied with NPR functioning as the unofficial spokesperson for the Democratic Party (chiefly broadcasting stories compressible into 0 bits…). I’ve nearly completely replaced that habit with listening to Lex Friedman. Lex does long form interviews with a wide variety of guests. He is both respectful and curious. The medium is just flat out better on both sides - you can start/stop a podcast when the dishes are done, or to look up related info or to discuss something. You can skip the episodes that don’t interest you. And, perhaps best of all, it isn’t a constant stream of doom, gloom and outrage porn

The housing market is dictated by fiat. Both supply (lending) and demand (building) are a function of government regulation.
We had a similar experience recently. We curate everything the kids watch so that they're not exposed to ads (as much as possible). Anyway, we had been watching the Olympics (can we please not let NBC have the Olympics anymore!?), and wow, every time the ads came on you could visibly see the kids demeanor change. They were hyper-focused. Then they started repeating the ads during the day then next day during play.

Timing's about right for the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal, since that news broke at the beginning of '98. And we already had multiple 24/7 cable news stations by then. :-(

At worst an alleged methhead, which he denies.

> officers were called to a West Avenue hotel around 1 a.m. and found Gillum there with two other men, one of whom was being treated for a possible drug overdose. Gillum was too inebriated to speak with officers, though he was later reported in stable condition and with normal vital signs.

...

Your mistake is understandable because the media ran with the Gillum-is-a-meth-fiend narrative.
Even Google News is too much for me now. Once in a while I'll scan the headlines. Or Apple News on my iPhone. But just the headlines alone are enough to turn me away. So much clickbait, so much outrage, so little substance.

A very timely article. I've recently decided to completely abandon the news after the most recent issue in my country (the occupation of our capital city) once the issue was resolved. It was taking up far too much of my life and was negatively affecting my emotions. It's been a few days and I'm still amazed how much I've been able to accomplish on my projects now that I've got that time and energy back.

I hope I never relapse.
Life hack: if you do want to keep up on global current events but can't stand the breathless media circus, get your news from Wikipedia.[1]

If you actually want to make a difference consider putting more into getting engaged locally, whatever that means for you. National and global scale issues are really easy to fall into a despair/paralysis cycle with.

I still don't understand how we made it through the 00s with trust in television news media still fully intact, at least here in the US.

the nation was basically united in wanting to invade Iraq/Afghanistan all because the talking heads on TV manufactured that consent. it wasn't a "party lines" or "oh that was just FOX News" kind of thing—the news stations were a united front in getting us to believe in something absolutely ridiculous, and we accepted it at face value because we were scared and confused following 9/11. we now know it was all bullshit that resulted in the further unnecessary loss of life, American and otherwise, yet millions of Americans still "trust" these "news" programs implicitly—it's The News, why would you question it?

now these same news stations with overly-polished talking heads—including "former" intelligence agency regulars—and pharmaceutical advertising money (most Americans never bat an eye at the pharma ads on TV and how creepy and weird they are, or are even aware that they're illegal in most of the rest of the world) claim to be the Arbiters of Truth and The Best, Perhaps Only Way To Stay Informed, and we eat it right up. my dad thinks he's consuming a "balanced news diet" by watching the nightly news from every station. it's insanity. turn it off and don't look back. they call it programming for a reason.
Ah, I see how my comment was misleading--it really meant to highlight that at times I do appreciate LTT's entertainment aspect, not that I expected there to be a technical review of the steamdeck.
"To be clear, I’m mostly talking about following TV and internet newscasts here. This post isn’t an indictment of journalism as a whole. There’s a big difference between watching a half hour of CNN’s refugee crisis coverage (not that they cover it anymore) versus spending that time reading a 5,000-word article on the same topic."

This is important.

I haven't watched cable news in years (maybe a decade now?) but still check in with long form journalism for in-depth exploration of a topic.

I think this right here is a source of all of the evil mentioned in the article:

https://fs.blog/narrative-fallacy/

I'm not always above creating narratives and cherry-picking information that feeds those narratives because, end of the day, Im human just like everybody else. But being aware of this and learning how to better catch yourself as you're doing it does make a massive difference. It also damned near forces you to try and look for information closer to the source.

(Try reading news sources in another language from another country and watch what happens. Ideally you wouldnt use Google Translate)
Romanians form with ~500K the third biggest minority in Ukraine. Again, a situation where USSR conquered and draw the map as it wished, since they live in teritory formely belonging to interbellic Romania.

One fact which people forget: Ukraine decided to end support to minorities, as such there is no longer possible to study in native language. This type of nationalism should not be supported at all. Ukraine is no saint.
Doesn't sound CCPA compliant.
I came to this same conclusion two weekends ago in Flagstaff. I am 43 and have only snowboarded my entire life. Lots and lots when I was younger, not as much anymore with kids, their club soccer and demanding schools. I am a professional firefighter and get paid to workout at work... so I am not elite athletic, but I am fit.

My hips just don't have the same mobility they once did. Sitting down at the top every single run is tiring and I am beginning to dislike that one aspect the most. My wife skis and she just stands there peacefully while the kids and I strap in. I never paid much attention to this until this last trip... "I am a snowboarder and this is part of the deal." Well, I am not much into that part of the deal any longer.

Walking around the resort or restaurants in ski boots doesn't look like it feels as good as snowboard boots. However, I think I am willing to give that up for convenience on the runs... which is why I am there spending a fortune after all.

So, I decided that I am going to rent skis and just send it over spring break for a two day trip. My kids say they are going to disown me... that's ok, I can cruze with their mom (lol)! Watching them strap in without grunting and twisting due to their far superior flexibility is awesome... I remember that, its just time to move on and just enjoy the time on the mountain; COMFORTABLY.
Putin is currently playing out the same game as he did in 2008 in Georgia. Abkhazia and South Ossetia aren't formerly part of Russia; their existence merely guarantee that Georgia cannot be part of NATO. That's the plan: preventing forever Ukraine from being part of NATO. That's been the constant demand or Russia since Gorbachev, Yeltsin, etc. So the pseudo-republics of Donetsk and Luhansk will remain forever, just for this purpose.
I first saw it: https://ant.apache.org/ant_in_anger.html "Ant in Anger"

I've taken it to mean: You don't know it, you might not particularly want to be using it, but you have a specific requirement and a deadline.

eg: "Plumbing in Anger" I would expect to distill enough to fix a sink or install a toilet or something, and tend towards a bundle of task-focused items/outcomes, and less on the "Gestalt of Plumbing".
> Basically everyone wants to hire talented folks. But even in baseball, where returns to hiring talent are obvious and high and which is the most easily quantified major U.S. sport, people made fairly obvious blunders for a century due to relying on incorrectly honed gut feelings that relied heavily on unconscious as well as conscious biases.

Brilliant food for thought! Thank you
This reads like finger pointing used to justify an existing stance.
10 people that are 15% as good as you will outproduce you.

That only seems to make sense if those 10 less-productive people make one-tenth the salary of the single productive person.

I've seen this in action. I know of a company that hired a whole room full of know-it-all high school drop-outs to write code, rather than one or two trained college graduates. That company went out of business in a matter of months.
It's marked because, as a de facto Russian-controlled territory, it is likely to be used as a bridgehead if Russia decides to occupy the entirety of Ukraine.
Somebody was getting rid of a Macintosh Classic that had a broken neck on the display tube. I built it in to a small tower case that was common in the early '90s and connected it to a TTL monitor using a 74LS14, which I think I learned about from the "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" book. We used to call those Hackintoshes back then ;)
Not really. Maidan would never happen if Ukraine had nukes.

If I look closely at the Roman ones, the outlines are done with square tile following the lines. The infill also follows the lines, with partial ones to fill in places where the square is too big. The partial ones are simple straight cuts, today you can get a snipping tool to do that. Not necessary to chisel them. The joints are hardly precision cut, in fact, the unevenness is part of the charm.

Don't need to do the whole floor, just a section, like a "medallion" that is done in wood floors. Medallions in wood are a lot more skilled to make, because you can't fill the gaps with mortar like is done on the mosaics.

I can't see more than an afternoon for, say, a 3x3 one.
Product designer of 6+ years here. As a beginner product designer you can read all the theory and resources you want - but if you don't practice actually making stuff alongside it your work won't improve.

Design, and UI design is a pretty hard thing to learn theory first. You gotta put it into practice by making something, thinking critically about it (and seek critique from others) and then remaking.

Just to throw another approachable resource in. https://www.refactoringui.com/

I only had bad experiences with Motorola but that was years ago.
It depends, there are some news that actually worth your time. But you should be wary on what kind of news you are consuming.
Degoogling was fun. I dreaded changing my email address, but it was only a couple of hours of low intensity work, to change the email in the 50+ services I was registered to, including things like utilities. /e/ also works on my phone like a charm. Not suprising though, because I bought that model exactly for that reason. And discovering other online services was also cool, it's how I happened upon ONLYOFFICE, which I use ever since, even on desktop. For some reason, I never even heard about them before.

You know what's a challenge? Finding a good robot vacuum without the cloud connectivity stuff. After all this degoogling I'm not keen on the idea of syncing the plans of my house to whichever cloud service.
I wonder what Putin will do next, he might annex Donetsk a third time.
I strongly agree with this. I would, however, like to call out one TV program here in the U.S. that I think comes much closer to approximating the experience of “reading a 5,000-word article”: PBS NewsHour. It’s great, completely free and available to watch online, and you can even get most of what you need from their podcast alone (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/feeds/rss/podcasts/segments).

It consists of fairly in-depth, thoughtful coverage of both domestic and worldwide news topics, as well as a tiny bit of political analysis on Mondays and Fridays. It almost never devolves into the breathless, “the world is about to end”-type coverage found on basically all cable news programs. Judy Woodruff and her team are really great. I dearly miss Gwen Ifill and Jim Lehrer.

The Economist is also a great resource, as has been pointed out by other commenters here. They publish an audio edition of each week’s newspaper, too.
