Yup. Optimisation is always a trade-off problem that needs to be approached intelligently, not mindlessly. The raw metric of minutes to airborne leads naturally to the intelligent points you raise about what each minute is worth.

The arbitrary target implies a cost function that is infinite below 30 minutes, and zero above it – this, if anything, suppresses intelligent discussion and leads to wasted effort.
Sure, parasitism works pretty well in fact. I just couldn’t stomach promoting it by using one of their gimmick-festooned phones. But plenty of people don’t give a shit.

What is the decision exactly? If unhappy people could just choose to be happy instead, they would.

"So many sites" also gets most (or all) of the other flags wrong, because they pretty much always just fit the pattern on one size of rectangle. Which isn't any more correct.

While this is no doubt true the implied context of my reply was to the idea that Microsoft's engineers were selecting the best available option, the terms of "best" insinuating "best for anyone" rather than "best for software developer at Microsoft" -- a key difference.

> Office for example took React Native as a UI toolkit and invested in that instead of .NET.

For sure, C# and J# were basically the replacements for the failed attempted co-opting of Java that was J++. As far as I can tell their only Java related product is their own build of OpenJDK designed to be used on Azure. It's unclear what contributions they've really made in the space.

While they may not be a "pure .NET shop", I'd bet they're the closest thing out there.

I'm not suggesting Microsoft 100% ignores broader trends but this is sort of an aside from the crux of the original commentary.
Strange how nobody wants to denounce David Suzuki Foundation for getting foreign funding. Suddenly it's now about policing costs, for some reason.

It's almost like there is an approved list of causes/entities that are pre-approved for unlimited amounts of foreign funding.
This isn’t responding to the point in the comment directly above yours, from my perspective. That’s just restating the initial point.
Notice I didn't only blame the developers. I said "team". Management is part of that team. But where there is smoke, there usually is fire, and probably some of the blame of this technical failure of a game lies with developers also.

Actually a lot of roman mosaic were not uniform sized ceramic tiles they were quite often different colored stones/pebles/glass and they would be broken and chiseled away into custom shapes as they were 'drawing' the mosaic. It is a massively labour intensive endeavour to reproduce some of these mosaics.

This is the correct reason. Every single large chain has their own specific model number for an appliance. Then they can loudly advertise how their "KJVADSF123AAFBB" washer is the cheapest ever and they'll price match if someone sells it for cheaper.

...but they're the only ones selling that exact model.
It's a shill piece.
Flutter is DOA, IMO.

It has two fundamental mistakes, each of which is probably fatal.

(1) non-native controls. The problem is it takes a lot of work to catch up and keep up with native controls. This is a cross-platform SDK, so multiply that by all the platforms. You end up doing a massive amount of work to achieve a lowest-common-denominator, janky, low-quality experience.

(2) custom language. There's a lot of unnecessary friction here.

Maybe Google will keep paying for it anyway... but I doubt it.
This is extremely interesting, and somewhat worrying. For instance, while I 100% disagree with the Canada truck protests, I also think that it's immoral to unbank them. Even if you consider them assholes, they do live in a modern society that needs a bank account to function normally, and as such it should be a human right for them to have a bank account if they want one.

Ultimately, I would be happy with a 60+% majority democracy. At least it wouldn't result in flip-flopping as often.
I had to upgrade recently and went for a Nokia XR20. It might not have the latest and greatest hardware but I honestly don't notice. It's a phone that I sometimes browse the internet on. Also dual SIM and has a 3.5mm jack.
I agree with what you are saying for sure. I have spent years working for myself in a variety of roles and while I was certainly happier than when I worked under a boss, the constant stress around lack of reliable income was stressful. Suddenly this last year or so all of the skills I had cultivated with my side hustles culminated in a way that I am both my own boss and making enough money my situation feels less dire. It was the combination of the two that really made a difference in my mental health

I think people were too busy being amazed to nitpick the jank. My own experience with “realistic” physics in games at that point was limited to Elastomania and Worms, so Source was mind-blowing.

I'd go with a more simple explanation. Russia decided to invade, because they chose to do so. It's no one else's fault.
Most sad thing to me is that millions of people around the world were protesting for example when the BLM was started. In countries which are far far away from US, don't even have black community, people were lying on the ground next to the embassies, screaming "can't breathe", but now I don't see the same people supporting Ukraine, by pushing own governments to make more pressure on Russia.
The fact we've seen it coming doesn't make it wrong.

Wim Hof not only claims that his method will keep one warm, but also a lot of other health benefits. Very few of these have any scientific backing. Hyperventilation's effects on inflammatory responses are well known.

His claims regarding arthritis, MS or even Parkinson's are not only spurious at best to be kind in wording. I would personally call them bullshit. There is just no scientific evidence at all for these claims.

Ensuring through deep breath that your chest muscles are moving and warming and by that warming your blood is nice - but not more. There are no studies scientifically researching the method with multiple subjects. Only studies that look at him (and his twin).

So we have "studies" with n=2 and massive claims from him. While he sells his books/seminars/method.

People have died attempting the Wim Hof Method (one example [1]).

To me - this person is good at PR. Knows how to sell these days. And how to be a personal brand. I have to give credit for that.

I know the basic syntax and I never have that problem. Perhaps you mean the advanced syntax? However I don't see the problem, there either. I usually don't need it, and to be honest, when I do, I find it more maintainable to use multiple simpler expressions combined with some programming.
I believe that is a cross EU thing, since the UK got it while still a member.

i.e. the reversed burden of proof during the first 6 months, where it is assumed the device is at fault, and they supplier has to prove it is not.

So in this case I'd agree, I see little proof just an assertion, and would suggest they institute the process for their equivalent of a Small Claims Court case.
That's why I said safe-ish. It doesn't guarantee anything but it at least points you in the right direction.

And in specific case of olive oil I think that we have enough data about it's safety, both modern and historic.
I think the one that will profit most is China, being the remaining trade partner in a much similar way when most of the world imposed sanctions against north Korea. At the same time this will reduce the impact on prices, since as long China is connected to the global economy then the global supply will still increase when they buy from Russia.

There will be costs associated with transportation for EU, be that from China (as a middle man for Russia) or Canada/US.
Many CEOs are apparently psychopaths. A psychopath doesn't have to be a remorseless killer. In fact, years ago I read an article about a psychiatrist or research who accidentally discovered that he was a psychopath himself, despite being a loving family man.

Psychopathy is more subtle than just the extremes that are popular in media. I'm far from the biggest Apple or Jobs hater, but I think there's a good chance that he'd fit the criteria for psychopathy.

The big question I haven't seen a good answer to yet is: why are CEOs so much more likely to be psychopaths? Does the power make them psychopaths? Are they attracted to the power of a CEO? Or do psychopaths actually make very effective CEOs? I have no idea.

It's about the incentives. I don't trust Facebook or Google because deep in their DNA, they're advertising companies. They're not advertisers like Ogilvy; they're advertisers because they're really good at profiling people. So when they acquire companies like Instagram, WhatsApp, YouTube with free products, I expect those products to add tracking and targeting even when they were strongly against it (esp. WhatsApp).

YC however is the opposite. Their DNA is Paul Graham's essays. They put themselves up as the people who help the small guy. They need your trust.

They use your HN history to evaluate your YC application and they're open about that. It's even on the undocumented features wiki that YC founders can see each other.

Show HN is probably used for scouting startups. They need VC style data, which shows whether the founders are smart, resilient, and whether the startups they make have potential. So yeah, they probably do track you, but not in the creepy stalker way Google does.

Causal inference has come a long way, e.g. double machine learning is pretty nifty.
I've needed such functionality often enough that i wrote a small utility[0] that uses my LIL scripting language[1] (similar to Tcl) to process some text and have its output. A couple of examples are in the shots [2][3] (note that as this is written in Lazarus it also works under Linux and Mac too, though the site only has a Windows executable).

Before that i used to write scripts or even full programs (in Free Pascal which has some simple string handling) to do similar processing and i did find it much more cumbersome to go through that route.

Of course this only works for editing/generated/transforming text pieces (and i pretty much always use it via clipboard), for processing files i still end up writing full scripts or programs (depending on the case, if i need to preprocess stuff i use another LIL-based tool, lip[4]).

What will happen when a black hole hits Earth?
Yes, but the best studios minimize these glitches to a minimum. Compare this game with GTA5 or RDR2. Rockstar uses its own proprietary engine that works together with the animation engine. When taking into consideration how much interaction there is with game world in GTA5 and RDR2, the glitches are fewer and farther between. Rockstar is the gold standard of technical game development these days.
Not having a scientific study backing something by default makes it bullshit? Was mindfulness meditation bullshit until scientists stamped it with their approval?

It seems that a proper scientific mindset would declare something neither true nor false until a study is done.

I've had the same experience with most forms of rigorous exercise. I used to row in college, and I was by far the most productive during the winter on the days where we did our long sessions (20-25km, 2-3 hours of hard work), seconded only by days where I was weight training in the mornings.

This is coming from someone who is definitely an evening person rather than a morning person
I don't think there's any correlation at all.

I grew up kinda near the Alps and my parents and basically every single one of their friends was skiing as long as their age and physical fitness allowed. I learned to ski as a kid and most of my peers also did (went for a week of skiing at school in 6th grade as well) - so of course when it was "kinda new" in the late 90s I also tried snowboarding - and I liked it even more, so I've been doing that sparingly since then. All the people I know who do that kind of stuff prefer snowboarding, except a few die hard ski fans. Maybe it's different if going to a mountain is a huge expensive weekend or week-long vacation for you, then I can see the relation. People in tech = money to go snowboarding.
"mandatory public performance of fake emotions" relates to this paragraph of the article which I quoted:

>> Here are three examples of simple exercises, each backed by rigorous evidence of effectiveness. In the first, the Gratitude Visit, participants prepare and present a 300-word testimony of gratitude to someone who changed their life for the better. In the second, Three Good Things, participants write down three things that went well each day and what caused those things to go well, for one week. The third, Using Signature Strengths in a New Way, calls on participants to complete an online strengths survey and then use one of their top strengths in a new way each day for at least a week

Reading carefully, it is not clear whether those exercises were things that were specifically "validated" by this specific study, in the military, since the next paragraph talks about the "ENHANCE" programme in the military.

It is dead for all purposes unless the political climate changes radically. Whatever the Russian plans for a gas supplier to Germany were, they are limited to what the existing pipelines can deliver. I hope, we can reduce the dependency on Russian gas quickly, even if it means the additional effort of shipping LNG from the US or other sources.
Mid-term it should be highest priority to get rid of fossil fuels as quick as possible.
> Instead of comparing yourself to arbitrary thresholds, use the raw metric as a KPI instead. Use "minutes until airborne" as the KPI. That you can optimise indefinitely, and it is an honest representation of your current process, not how it compares to a number someone threw out at some time.

You are completely right, but this is much harder to explain to a regular person who doesn't have a math/stats background.

"Get the aircraft in the air in 30 minutes" is much easier to understand, even if the underlying assumption is that the number can be anything – especially when, as you pointed out, there are some reasonable biology-based reasons for 30 minutes.

"Get the aircraft in the air as fast as possible, but then we'll try to optimize that number" is inviting confusion ("Wait, optimize? But we're already working as fast as we can!).

Of course, the tradeoff in the hard threshold is that people might stop improving after hitting the 30 minute threshold. In my opinion this is at least partially based on cultural factors – you should be working in search and rescue at least partly because you want to help people, and should be willing to optimize further to accomplish that goal.
Thanks Germans. Paying our gas bill will be fun here in the Netherlands.
Yes, it impacts the people far more than the state.

Leaving out people with e.g. clinical depression, this is still only true for some people. The rest don't believe that they can simply choose to be happy regardless of circumstances, and therefore they can't. I don't think we get a choice in the matter: either we're lucky to be in the first group who know it intuitively or figure it out or come across the idea somewhere, or we aren't so lucky.
I love the idea of explaining a company's process as "deep work"! To me it resonates re Apple and I'm now intrigued on who else falls into that category.

For some reason Google does not seem to fit, possibly because of Xoogler anecdotes I've read here. GitHub seems close but maybe too scattered in many directions (for example, they seem to have some new huge feature in beta every other week). Airbnb does deep work from what I've seen (I attended an internal hackathon once). I wonder if that's not one of the strengths of YC and YC-picks, inherently...
It doesn’t work. There’s an authenticity layer to the NFC they’re using. You can scan the rolls with Android NFC readers to get an idea of the tech involved.
Does circumstance cause happiness or the other way around? It is the premise of the article, but I think there is confirmation bias here.

Office perks had this purpose but it is no longer relevant in a remote culture. Now corporations need to snoop into our homes to predict productivity. Employees' lives outside work is not the employer's business, since most often than not, they will abuse it.
Ex: They will sack an employee knowing he is unhappy regardless of the reason, creating a spiraling negative feedback loop.

The conclusion is very dangerous. It tells management to measure happiness as a predictor to success (and profit for employer). In fact, it is advocating to use employees' personal life as a proxy for performance, an abuse of data.
It’s a tough field to become proficient in because you rarely get to validate your process. But I’m starting to get a better understanding of double ML, and it really does work in a provable way.

True. I have a laptop from work dedicated to work only, so I do have a desktop too for private use. This work out very well with this setup as I only need to switch that single USB-C cable and my monitor + all peripherals are changed from the laptop to my desktop.

At a bike shop that I frequently visited during my student days, I was often greeted warmly and told they saw me at Korsakoff (an alternative club in Amsterdam) that weekend. I did occasionally visit that club, but not that often, and certainly not every weekend before I'd visit that bike shops. And yet nearly always they claimed they'd seen me there.

Clearly I must have a doppelganger there. Or maybe I'm the doppelganger. Never met him, though. Maybe I should have visited Korsakoff more often.
Yes exactly like for hot. And I was even "proud" of not forgetting to pronounce it…
I believe you but it's hard to make a reasonable comparison without knowing what your app does. I've seen some really janky Flutter apps on iOS.
