It is more complex than that. Drowsiness is most often caused by a sleep debt which is commonly accumulated over a period of insufficient sleeping. Renowned sleep researcher William Dement did a big study on this which figured prominently in a modern analysis of the subject here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC2391074/

This study does not focus on drowsiness specifically, but rather measuring the amount of daytime sleeping and looking for increases. Under most circumstances daytime naps are short whether driven by drowsiness or the cultural standard of siestas.
That's an unbelievably long book to assign at the secondary or even undergrad level.
I didn't pester or berate him. I asked him once. He didn't literally tell me to fuck off, he just said no and went back to cleaning up, clearly uninterested in helping me. It was a big, two-story building, like a complex, so I'm sure there was an elevator at least for employee use (nobody's dragging kegs down all those stairs.) He just made it very clear with his body language he wasn't interested in helping me, and that my question annoyed him.

But no, I didn't pester him, I just went to seethe in a corner and ask my friends for help.
It is a wonderful strategy. Without firing a shot, Russia will collapse. It won’t take years for the lack of supplies and parts from all those German manufacturers like Siemens, and the dozens of others that the whole world depends on.

It won’t take long for them to become N Mongolia.

The problem is the massive bureaucracy / government we have today. Massive swaths of government workers literally being payed to sit all day in zoom calls on "meetings" talking about approving projects and budgets, from local infrastructure to schools, to medical, etc.

I don't understand why people are always panicking about negative fertility numbers and declining populations. Surely it's a good thing, right?
I understand it's a little bit dumb that many people think of a router as a device that does Wi-Fi and maybe has a modem built-in, just because that's the only kind of router most people ever encounter. But for all that it's annoying and technically not quite precise, that is the colloquial use of the term.
The US has a vast, almost completely depopulated “west Midwest” filled with resources: Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Alaska etc

Something like 45% of the US geography is essentially unpopulated - with tons of resources.

It’s nice, I guess, but America’s economic growth comes from the overpopulated areas: Silicon Valley, Manhattan, Austin, etc.

I’m not directly disagreeing with you. Obviously both America and China can be happy !
I think woodruffw meant that the conflict in the Old World might be spearheaded by those people who still have a romantic infatuation by war, which has been steadily declining since like WW1 but manages to hold on in some capacity to these days. Eventually we'll get to the point where people – contemporary young people, future born people – would not see physical violence as a means of settling political disagreements. Partly because they would know how precious life is in a low-fertility environment.
Will the population decline fast enough to save the planet? Seems doubtful. We use far too many resources and the population will increase for a while until it will start decreasing.
You’re probably a 10% manager.

Bloodborne was my first (I've since played Demon's Souls, Dark Souls trilogy, Sekiro and now Elden Ring too) and the atmosphere is what drew me in. Sure, the gameplay and the challenge kept me playing, but the atmosphere is what made it special. Over time, as I started to unravel more and more of the lore and storylines, that's what really got me addicted, but that took time. The gameplay alone wasn't enough, I almost gave up on the game initially, but the atmosphere and visual aesthetic really stuck with me. I've since bought a bunch of the art books on ebay too since I just love the Souls and Bloodborne visual design so much.

Now that I'm heavily mentally invested in their games, I am enthralled by their deep yet vague stories, but I'm constantly impressed by the visual creativity and aesthetic sensibilities. That screenshot in the article is incidentally an area I screenshotted myself just yesterday, although mine was more about the shadowy silhouettes of the statues in the foreground (not really shown in the image in the article).
I think you're actually talking about Caltrain's CBOSS system, which while obviously related to the CAHSR, eventually, was designed and (not) implemented by a completely different agency at a prior time.

Catch 22 has reaffirmed in me Yossarian's mindset that I didn't know I had; about how the world is mad and is out to get me over its crazy shit; and about how the received official mythologized narrative is different from the day-to-day survival concerns of an ordinary person. Thinking back, it probably was the most influential book for me.
Have more children. Have them early if possible.

I’m a first-generation child of immigrant parents. So is my wife. In our families, we have a lot of cousins around our age. Many are childless. Similar story amongst our circle of friends.

In Canada, we’ve supplemented our low birth rate and labour force with immigration. We’re small enough that it can continue to work for a while. But given the investment made by our immigrant parents and by our government, it behooves us to work hard, contribute to society and pay back that debt.

Yet, with fewer children, we’re losing the opportunity for those returns. If our parents came for a better life, we should keep making more smart children, with the capacity for new ideas and innovation, in an environment that fosters and promotes that.

Given all of the places in the world, we won the genetic lottery. Makes little sense to squander it.

I also reject the notion that humanity is a cancer on the planet. Growth is the route to solving our problems.

It really is remarkable how much knowledge/awareness we have now of ergonomics. I developed carpal tunnel syndrome in my 20s because of kinked wrists. Fortunately I was able to avoid surgery by wearing corrective braces for a few months, and now my brain just holds my wrists straight now when I type. It was a really scary time though to think that I might not be able to use a keyboard when my work is all computer-based.
There is no city, but Highway 10 runs through the Permian, and Big Bend National Park is just south.

"What's valuable is purely subjective" is the kind of basal argument that nobody finds convincing. It's also a far cry from a justification for wasting energy, unless you plan to take an excursion into the lands of moral relativism.

Here is my opinion: it is entirely possible, common even, for people to be just plain wrong about the things that they value. That doesn't mean they don't value them; it means that their underlying justification is predicated on transient conditions (like artificial scarcity) or is otherwise underdeveloped w/r/t to their motivations. Bitcoin epitomizes this.

The way software development is generally practiced is not "software engineering" but "MVP development", which has nothing to do with anything but getting a piece of the pie. If a particular user doesn't fall into the biggest slice of that pie, the MVP developers don't care.
That bs seemed more common in the early days of remote.

Now I (and most I’ve talked to in my network) ask the recruiter up front about the interview process.

This BS is a non starter.

I had to do a presentation to a huge group on why I’d be a good fit followed by 3 hours of group interviews. This was after a tech screen and a fairly intense live coding tech interview.

I’d never do that again unless it’s for my “dream” job. I got that job but it was nothing special.

I then had to sit in on these as senior eng I had to be part of the hiring committee. Such a time sink for all involved.

> That's not what the CMB is. The CMB is an incredibly uniform pattern which appears to have been formed by a very hot plasma at some point in the past.

I understood that the CMB is not photons from plasma but the first photons following recombination (when the universe cooled enough that electrons and protons formed first hydrogen atoms). In other words the universe was plasma just before the CMB.

The Book of Mormon. It gives me hope despite some things looking increasingly dark in the world.
'Patterns in Prehistory' class where we learned about pre-history civilizations. Saw that there is a book, 'Patterns in Prehistory: Humankind's First Three Million Years', which covers the topics were covered in that class. Initially, I was like 'why should I learn pre-history?' and I postponed it until the last semester of my undergrad. Learning different civilizations and their religious beliefs made me start questioning my religious belief.

And an NPR podcast, "Is Believing In God Evolutionarily Advantageous?", which explains why human are religious.

Those two changed my religious belief, so I can say that they changed my life.

Many theories of economic growth say that it is fundamentally generated by new ideas. When you have fewer people, you have fewer new ideas. So innovation might slow: in some models it even reverses.

Unfortunately we don't have a definite release date yet. The manuscript is complete so we're about to bring in an editor and get the book ready for publication. Pricing hasn't been finalized but if I had to guess it would be around $30 USD or possibly a little higher. There's an email list you can sign up for on the link in my original comment if you'd like to be notified when the book is available.

Initially it will be published on the web, but eventually the plan is to release a print copy as well.
This comment box is too small to provide a proof ;)

I’m sorry, it’s not fair to make a controversial statement and then leave it at that but I only had the appetite to provide the hypothesis (easy) not the backing (I’ve got to collate my notes on this).

But, if you’re down to meet in SF one evening in April we could go over it.

It’s funny. My partner has a government job and works much harder than anyone I know in private industry (as do her co-workers). Also, it is a better organized place to work than most enterprises I’ve consulted for.

Goes to show YMMV and it’s not worth making sweeping generalizations about a sector of workers.

If the economy is based more and more on automation maybe it is possible to keep smaller population at even higher living standard and UBI. We might loose few by then trillionaires in a process but who really gives a shit about those.
>Russia is dying. In just the first week of Putin’s war, the country lost somewhere between 2,000 and 6,000 men, according to western sources, an immense and needless tragedy for the poor families left behind to grieve.

>country does not have enough men to spare.

144 million people live in Russia. This war is a terrible tragedy but it will not depopulate the country. It won't even depopulate Ukraine through casualties, although it's having a fair effect due to refugees (44M population, millions of refugees). Putin does not care about the families of the fallen, he is playing Civilization and you can't expand your borders without moving your pieces.

There's no Lagrangian in those 9-lines. Nor is there Quantum-Theory, nor the Standard-Model, nor General-Relativity. Nor is science there, really.

Which is kinda my point -- those 9-lines aren't all of science.. unless, I guess, if you assume that all of science is a given. But then, why even have 9-lines when 0-lines could do?

Then it's hard to avoid critiques because there're obvious flaws. For example, yes, there're totally productive notions of zero-entropy -- even if not in the models you're used to. For another example, macroscale-constants haven't been demonstrated to emerge from the Standard-Model -- for example, it hasn't been demonstrated that astronomical-scale measurements aren't influenced by unknown factors, such as many-body forces, which might cause results that'd differ from those predicted by the Standard-Model. And since we can measure some of those things not known to emerge from the Standard-Model, the idea that the Standard-Model captures everything -- including those things not known to emerge from it -- doesn't follow.

But then that seems to be getting off-topic, because while there'd seem to be many things off about this, the one I'd really stress is that those 9-lines don't contain what they claim to.
Thank you for the correction! I did indeed mean that.
The article fails to mention France which is managing the low children crisis better than most.
Macron moved down the compulsory school age start from 6 (primary school) down to 3 (kindergarten).

Governments should help families by providing easier access to daycares and kindergartens. Helping young parents get some rest with their first child(ren) will encourage them having more children.

I'm a parent of two young children, a 3 years old and a 6 months old. This is the hardest period of my life since high school.
I'm 34 and in our circles I'm the youngest dad. Most of other dads' are in their late 30s all the way to early 50s.

I've been also inspired by my choices of parenthood by the movie IDIOCRACY:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBvIweCIgwk

I'm not sure we're understanding each other. When I asked "How does it solve the problem of sharing code across service boundaries?", I meant how does your language or architecture enable you to share code across separately deployed artefacts, for example across two microservices.

There are three approaches that I'm aware of for solving this problem: 1) copy/paste the shared code between the two repositories, 2) freeze the code into a library that both services depend on, 3) keep both services in one repository, extract the shared code into a module or component, both services depend on the shared module, deploy the services as separate artefacts.

1) is bad for obvious reasons, 2) adds unnecessary friction to the development process, and 3) is how Polylith solves it.

I was wondering if you've come across another way to achieve 3), or perhaps a fourth approach?
If you have to wear a helmet, the bicycling infrastructure isn't safe enough (yet).

Traffic engineers can well and truly be proud of themselves when people simply don't bother to wear a helmet anymore (because it's not needed).

See eg:

* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqFDfLogw_M Strassbourg: a bit more helmets (but not a lot)

Internal company documentation and search is an interesting problem that I have been thinking a lot about.

One big issue is that everyone knows its an issue, so people add more places to store information, which inevitably becomes another place to search which makes it hidden, and then as things move there are inevitable dead links all over the place. We need an intranet to be an actual intranet with all information there, and properly indexed.

The biggest "solutions" here are also some of the worst offenders:

1. Google Drive / Microsoft Network Share / Drop Box Etc. These are filled with documents, some companies have more than one of these. These are places where information goes to die, and lives entirely in people's heads, so you have to talk to someone, have them find it, send you a link etc. If there is a search, its for the names and not the content. They are rarely in a good format or place to easily do a find | grep search.

2. Confluence is awful. Confluence is directly backwards, its information at the team level, instead of at the topic level.

3. Sharepoint purely awful. Its searched poorly, barely works.

4. Wikis, very few places uses these for some reason in favor of worse. A single source of truth wiki I think is the optimal place. Or if they do its like a MS Team Wiki or a Gitlab wiki that is broken off of all other places and not indexed so its disconnected.
How wealthy were the Founding Fathers?
There are parts of Atlas Shrugged that I loved, mostly about the insights into the psychology of communism and of ideologues that Ayn Rand must have had first-hand experience with. But the love story that she weaves around it is just too poorly written.
Some parts of sub-Saharan Africa still have high fertility, but those who have seen increased economic development have also seen at least the start of the same demographic transition.

Last time I checked population growth forecasts, the models mostly predict worldwide population contraction within a century.

Substantial increases in longevity could delay that, but avoiding it entirely would take fairly substantial efforts to encourage more children.

As someone with a single child, I'd say substantially improved childcare provisions would be necessary, but insufficient - I could afford a lot of childcare, but having a child is still a lot of work.

Efforts to normalise more help, might help, but some of the options that might help in that respect (e.g. more au pairs, live in aid) are actively countered by high house prices.

- The Unbearable Lightness of Being, fiction, how the “crazy” actions of people in relationships makes sense in the context of their individual history.

There’s one chapter about misunderstood words. The word “mother” was highly regarded by one character. They loved their mother, so to call someone a mother was a deep and powerful complement. The other character hated their mother, the word had a hypocritical meaning to her.

So when the first character complemented the second with the deepest most heart felt honor they could muster, the second character left them without a word.
This book gave me a lot to think about 25 years ago. Made me aware of limitations of my own consciosness. Has perhaps been superseded by some other book since then, I'd love to hear recommendations.

"The User Illusion: Cutting Consciousness Down to Size" by Tor Norretranders
Kim Jong Un is not old (nor his sister). Putin was only 8 during the Cuban Missile Crisis so he only sees a caricature.

I'm not sure a younger generation growing up without fear of nuclear war is a safer thing. I suspect that most of the current heads of state being old and belligerant is correlation rather than causation.

Don't worry, there will be inexpensive automated drones to do the killing soon enough.
That's definitely interesting, and I think there is some real merit to it, although I think it's dangerous not to consider ergonomics. A coworker of mine had severe carpal tunnel syndrome and it was visible on scans, so not just in his head. He had a surgery that dremel'ed out some space for his nerves in his wrists and it helped a lot.

Thanks for sharing though! Really great info.
That's implied in how page tables work. If your pages are 16K then all your page levels are going to shift up two bits compared to 4K. Again, these aren't 16K "huge pages", that'd be nice. This is changing the baseline page size.

Lots of things in the kernel count sizes in pages. If your page size can vary, suddenly a lot of kernel constants become boot-time variables. And if it can vary from process to process, suddenly lots of things are per-process. Say you run a 4K process. It wants to map some data from a file. That data is in the page cache in 16K chunks. Now you have one page cache page mapped to anywhere from 1 to 4 4K pages. How do you keep track of that? That wasn't necessary before.

What happens if a 16K process shares memory with a 4K process? If the 4K process sends the 16K process a 4K page, that page can't be mapped at all.

See how this is makes everything much more complicated?
