But what our Physics Project suggests is that underneath everything we physically experience there is a single very general abstract structure—that we call the ruliad—and that our physical laws arise in an inexorable way from the particular samples we take of this structure.

I call it the ruliad. Think of it as the entangled limit of everything that is computationally possible: the result of following all possible computational rules in all possible ways.

My initial objection is the following. I can imagine a universe where what is computable inside the universe is not sufficient to describe the universe. The universe might, for example, run on real numbers but due to something vaguely resembling the uncertainty principle those can not be fully used for computations within that universe and so the most powerful computational device within the universe ends up being something discrete like a Turing machine.

Admittedly those two quotes are essentially everything I have read about this topic and this might be addressed somewhere, maybe my objection itself is not consistent, but I think one needs a good justification why computability within a universe is essential for understanding or explaining that universe.

I am also somewhat of a dota addict. It's VERY addicting to play. Something that really helps me is thinking "I cannot play 'just one' game because then I'll play several." If I never play that first game then I don't get looped into a several hour session.

Curious: have you ever worked elsewhere, particularly anywhere that is generally praised? It's possible that your experience has genuinely been wholly positive or it's possible that what you tolerate as a normal working environment is entirely unhealthy compared to other companies.
There are stuff like NextCloud now, that you can run by yourself.

Rsync + a bash script is horrible to get going in a mobile device. (What is the fault of the mobile OSes, and if you can get by with a less hostile one, great for you.) Those open-core ones put some work on it.
It's the opposite. One is motivation from being completionist all-green checkmarks. Where checkmarks are good. I only want to see/think about errors. I don't care if it passed 100 tests or a 1000 tests successfully.

Edit: I get that logically they are the same, but that's true of a half-empty/half-full glass. Psychologically they are different.

You know why the Mexico situation is inadequate? Because the border with the USA is completely different than it is in Europe. In Europe most countries are in NATO, and some of these countries have been bordering with Russia for several decades now. No aggression on the part of any Eropean state towards Russia happened. In the meantime, Russia attacked Chechnya, Georgia and Ukraine. These states didn't attack Russia - Russia was the aggressor in each case. Of course Chechnya is a vassal of Russia now, as are Abkhazia and South Ossetia. NATO didn't attack anybody.

As for the core of your questions, we don't have to speculate because we already know what would happen if someone decided to place nuclear rocket launchers close to American border - we've seen it already during the Cuban crisis. Both countries agreed that land-based nuclear missiles aiming at Russia in Europe will be placed only in France and the UK, and not in Germany, for example, whereas those aiming at Western Europe will be placed in Kaliningrad Special Region. Recently, Putin decided he will move some warheads also to Belarus.
Pleased refrain from personal attacks and instead focus on debating what was actually written.

I have downvoted you because this goes against the general spirit of discussion on HN.
Adding my own anecdote about this:

Despite the job ad, recruiter and hiring manager all confirming "yes we are a remote first company", Hybrid-RTO was announced recently with a mandatory minimum of one day in the office for those who live in HQ city.

And while on the one hand I appreciate the Hybridization of "if you want to work primarily from the office, fine, if you want to work primarily from home, fine", it also doesn't feel like a true choice of home or office considering my manager has nagged me each Friday since this was announced because "someone said you only went to the office once this week?"

Which I guess means someone in leadership has someone else silently taking attendance and reporting back to managers who shows up and who doesn't?

Within my department and even my functional team of six, I'm the only one who actually lives in the HQ city-which means I'm beholden to the RTO. Which means even when it's time to have face-to-face, talkie-talkies with people on my team or in my department, even if I'm in the office: none of them are.

Is it worth leaving over? Probably not. I've been very firm on my boundaries and disconnecting from work, and so far the company hasn't tried stepping over them.

Frankly, I'd probably be in the office a lot more if we didn't subscribe to that stupid-damn open office workspace layout, and the internet weren't so dodgy..

We hear this a lot from devs and we do plan to tackle it. I was building productivity tools (mostly for Gmail / Google Calendar) at my last startup and would have loved to have Pipedream manage OAuth / token refresh, kick off workflows on behalf of my users, etc.

The best option is adding a link so that readers can auto-discover it. This would look like

<link rel=alternate type="application/atom+xml" title="All Posts" href="https://tacosteemers.com/feeds/all.atom.xml">

Of course adding a visible link is also a good idea because many popular browsers don't do this discovery yet and not everyone optimistically puts URLs into their feed reader in case there is a link.

I've seen it happen.

Maybe it's less prevalent than it has been in the past, but managers hate "troublemakers," even if the "troublemakers" are 100% correct.

Also, this is a FAANG company. Get problems there, it's likely to metastasize. It would be another thing, if it were BillyBob's WebApp Emporium.
For the record, GP edited their original comment without acknowledging it. Originally said something like "You're an idiot if you think Raspberry Pi is a niche product". I only point it out as it is very unfair to ninja edit after you already have a reply.
What engine do you use that supports a unit test framework?
with the the roles of recruiters being so metrics driven, most recruiters seem to be optimizing for funnel metrics. FAANG or not. But especially at FAANG where the number of recruiters and candidate pool is large that they prefer metrics.
Price is set at the margin, especially in such an inelastic market as housing.

"supply 100, demand 99, price goes down. Supply 100, deman 101, price goes up."

5% isn't a lot, but it could have a disproportionate impact.

Housing isn't a federal responsibility, so the provinces are more to blame for the crisis. Ontario just totally whiffed implementing a report on how to reduce housing costs, so I expect the problem to continue.
That was 40+ years ago.
Yeah, I never really looked at mouse binding, but does look quite simple.

This implements acme chording for copy/paste and the approach looks straightforward: https://github.com/akrito/acme-mouse/blob/master/acme-mouse....

And this package looks like a cool way to recreate the context sensitive text actions: https://github.com/cmpitg/wand

Combining the approach from the first and the wand package could potentially surpass the acme experience by making it easier to customize and extend.

My friend joked about how I'm religious about the keyboard, but really it's about the right tool for the job, and if I had an acme-like mouse experience with emacs I'd def be mousing around more often. Funny that compared to normal people I'm a keyboard fanatic but compared to majority of emacs users I'm on the mouse way more often :)
It also sounds like this person's startup is B2B, which has an entirely different set of advertising strategies than something consumer focused.

Anything that involves clicks (display, search, social) are typically not the most effective advertising tactics when your buying decision makers number so few, but that doesn't rule out other advertising activities.
>Therapy is a mostly USA thing. Most cultures don't do it.

First off, that's a bold statement that I need something to back it up, unless it's just your opinion.

For the sake of argument, let's say it is true, though. Is the more likely reason that there are different societal pressures, expectations, and outlets inherent in different cultures, causing different mental health outcomes and needs?
Do something else.

I decided that I would learn guitar with my daughter instead of gaming. I'm not really any good, but I can pick up a guitar and play something. 17-year old me would be proud. It is definitely much cooler than whatever rank I had in Gears of War.

I also run and cycle. After a while gaming becomes less important because there are other things to do. You can definitely get 'into the zone' on a run... that's why people run. Achievements and challenges have existed in real life for a while already. You can feed your need for ranking (Strava), unlocking (buy new gear), and data-driven metrics that exist in games with other things in life.

Just do other things. Try different ones. After a while gaming becomes less important, and is no longer an addicition. It becomes something that you can enjoy in moderation in amongst your other activities.

Heating and electric vehicles are in fact the perfect example of the phenomenon I’m describing.

Already today, it would be more efficient to heat your home with a heat pump powered by a natural gas generation station, than to burn that same gas for heat directly.

Already today, it’s more efficient to convert fossil fuel into electricity and charge an electric car, than to burn that fuel in the engine.

There are high barriers of technology, scalability, and economics to overcome to make this transition happen, and if we had built a lot more nuclear in the 80s and 90s those barriers would still be nearly as high.

Decentralization for Web3 Builders: Principles, Models, How
I worked on a team that was doing embedded software inside a monorepo with Linux and cloud stuff, so we needed to version our stuff because we were not doing "continuous deployment" flashing the uCs all the time a change on master happened. We just had big "feature branches" and those got rebased and merged weekly. For the cloud stuff, there was just one version and that version was what other team was striving to continuously deploy into staging and then production.

It's not ideal but it was handy to have access to all the cloud and application code on the embedded side for stuff like interface definitions for communication protocols and stuff like that. On the same company I worked on another project where the definition files for the cloud interface where on a different repo we had to use a submodule and I preferred the monorepo.

As other commenter said, we used bazel and there was indeed a smallish team that gave build support. Ramping up new hires on the build system was one of the more painful processes, I had to give support myself to teammates that had like a six month tenure only that they hadn't been there from day one.
Years after using the new UI, I still think this.
Most people are intrested in what they can do with mathematics, and therefore, for them, it is a tool.

Because of this, they are more likely to ’get’ mathemathics if it is presented to them as a tool, instead of as an abstract truth-of-everything.

Not only is this a potential way to mess up your own account, but these systems are often exploited by malicious attackers to cause people headaches or impact their finances.

For example, an attacker will call up PayPal and give their name as the real name of a famous online personality. They will tell the support rep "Hey sorry, I signed up for this account but I'm only 12. Can you turn off my account?". The rep will assume it is a low risk/legit request and lock the account without doing any other checks. This has happened to lots of online streamers, like Ninja.

Surely this is only occasional.

I recall precisely one ad that caught my eye. I did not buy the product, but I liked it. It was for a men's watch after discussing with my spouse how I might need a watch at some point (Facebook is creepy that way, almost certainly monitoring microphone at the time, if not continually).
>we do well to remember what actually happened rather than just lionizing one man

This statement alone was worth the price of admission. As a fan of game engine history (highly recommend Fabian's books: https://fabiensanglard.net/), I have to remember that all of these things were built on the shoulders of giants. It wasn't just one person that contributed, even if it may be only their code that lives on.
Nextcloud is not an alternative to Dropbox. Dropbox is a cloud storage provider, and Nextcloud is a software that runs on a cloud server. One you pay for the storage upfront and Dropbox provides some redundancy of the data. With Nextcloud, you could set it up on a single service with no redundancy and easily lose all your data, plus there is administration and maintenance costs.
I don't edit binaries (or if I do the edits are always saved in a new file) so I just need a full archive of them. Syncthing is overkill for this so eventually I moved away from it and now only a couple of my machines have it running.

Well no. It doesn't say how to progress from one state to another. It just tells us how numbers relate to each other.

This isn't perfect but something like, math express things while computation progresses things.

You could argue that a particular mathematical framework is computational but I'm just trying to exemplify a distinction.

Not sure why you got downvoted.

The problem is with your deploy system. You can consider each of the clusters to be a service. Thus, a change in Service A (cluster A), should not trigger a deployment of Service B (cluster B).

My pipeline is split in 2:

1. on bitbucket, we run a pipeline that builds "build artefacts", docker images and "packaged" cloudformation templates.

Each of these artefacts has a list of triggers, either base docker images or source code. I'm building the relevant docker image or cf package based on the triggers (it's quite a naïve glob() use).

2. On aws side, I have something I call AWS Apps, in short a Stack Name, along with a set of triggers (the above build artefacts). On merge to main, I only deploy the AWS Apps affected by new build artefacts.
>No it isn't. We aren't really building new weapons, we're just maintaining the ones we have... $643 billion over the next 10 years

It's the opinion of the (pro nuclear) ex energy secretary Ernest J Moniz: https://web.archive.org/web/20180630220957/https://static1.s...

>$643 billion over the next 10 years

You do see how that isn't exactly cheap, right? And how it would be a problem if it ballooned over a trillion or more?

>If coal were regulated like nuclear energy

The fact you're comparing nuclear to the fastest disappearing form of unprofitable dirty energy kind of says it all, really.
Just want to say that I love this - I'm the exact target for it! I had considered doing something similar as a TUI, but my lazy ass never got around to it :)
Interesting that not but a week or two ago there was a post on HN stating that dropbox had the best programmers in the industry.
People weren't evacuated immediately, which is the whole point. Your dismissiveness shows that you aren't very familiar with the particulars of the accident. There was a projection at the time that there would be a short term spike in thyroid cancer among that population, which hasn't materialized. In fact radiation levels are so low in the area that the wisdom of the evacuation is very much up for debate. Of people evacuated 98% were exposed to no more than a 5 mSv/yr dose. The current ambient dose rate is 3 mSv/yr in the area which is slightly less than you'd receive visiting Finland. Flying from NY to Fukushima would expose you to a 9 mSv/yr dose.
Same, but I think the reasons are more complicated.

Our body is failing. We get hungry, thirstier, and sleepier much quicker. Find a way to fix these, and you will remediate your issue.

Thanks. I have my Chinese friends telling me that China let investigations happen at the labs in Wuhan but the US never let such a thing happen, and so on...
oof could you try that again? I just increased the capacity of the lambda - it was previously timing out from too many requests.
Yes we're thinking a lot about this. The vision would be let you execute workflows on whatever function runtime you use. So you'd have one definition of a workflow on Pipedream, but that could be serialized to e.g. a Google Cloud Function, an OpenFAAS function, etc. And you'd get to run it in your own VPC, with access to your own internal resources, without relying on Pipedream's infra.

Still in the idea phase, but let me know if that resonates.
I guess the idea is that if 2 beings are conscious there may exist some mechanism to transfer information between them?

Understanding what is conscious is and how it comes about seems interesting. I think currently it falls more into the philosophical sphere of science rather then biological or physics. Maybe once more is understood about human consciousness we will be able to categorize and add other life forms and consciousness types to this list.

Thirded. I broke (nascent but potent) Diablo 2 and Minecraft additions by giving myself everything and realising there was nothing for me to look forward to at the end of that path. I still had some fun, but I didn't have that know in my stomach when going to sleep that I was seconds away from something great.

I do the same with long TV series', if I find myself wanting to stay up late watching an episode of something, I read the plot of the entire thing on wikipedia (either the entire summary or season by season summaries).

I have never, not once, had anything "spoiled". Even if I did I'd prefer that to spoiling a single good night's sleep.

Give it some time, only one big crisis can be active at a time.

When hopefully Russia has left Ukraine, there will be more focus on Qatar.

But since Qatar is not the only Arab country that should receive sanctions, it might not be so easy to do.

In the meantime the West should do all it can to skip the reliance on Arab oil, which is also easier said than done.
People hated that they couldn't make atomic changes across components. Google's monorepo means everybody has to move in lock-step, which is bad for everybody:

* library maintainers must make sure they don't introduce any regressions to any users at all. There's no major version number that you can increment to let people know that something has changed. Development necessarily slows.

* Library users must deal with any breakage in any library they use. Breakage can happen at any time because everybody effectively builds from HEAD. There are complicated systems in place for tracking ranges of bad CL numbers

Monorepo isn't entirely to blame for this, but it certainly doesn't help. I've been at Google 15 years and I'm tired of this.
So yes three accidents in the last 60 years (I counted nuclear power to really start in the 1960s) that's an accident every 20 years like I wrote. Considering that chernobyl and fukushima rendered large areas of land uninhabitable I don't consider that a good track record. The lucky thing so far was that none of the incidents happened to a plant close to a large city. If a fukushima would have happened at Krümmel for example, Hamburg a city of 2M would have had to be evacuated.
