>Two types of people exist in the world today: manipulators and the manipulated. We all notice this at some point. We either resist the urge to become a sociopath or embrace it, rising through the ranks of the sociopathic power hierarchy. How far we climb up the ladder depends on our ability to outdo the competition. The higher we get, the harder it gets. Normal, compassionate people don’t go far. Some good eggs reach the upper echelons by accident. But at the top of the pyramid, that’s where we find the experts of perception management.

Here’s an interesting analysis of shortage: https://constructionphysics.substack.com/p/is-there-a-housin...

I like the comment: “I think one of the problems in this discussion is that the word ‘shortage’ doesn't have a clear meaning. If gas is $6 a gallon, should we say there is a shortage of gas? If I get stuck in traffic on the way to work, can I say there is a shortage of roads? If I have to park 4 blocks away from my apartment, is there a shortage of parking?”

There are plenty of variations on this, I'm surprised no one has mentioned Falsehoods programmers believe about names yet:

This would be a horrendous idea unless you want every car to be of the exact same design. For the same reason we don't make laws that every combustion engine can be used in every car, we don't want this either.
I'm sure you're going to get downvoted, but I do agree with Jerry Mander's ideas back in the day about how television can't be reformed and might be causing many of these issues that are prevalent in 2022.

It's been a long 5 year journey to break free from most of it and it's hard given I work in big tech, but my attention has come back and I'm able to do much more than I ever thought before. All because I ditched television and most importantly consumerism of digital media.

I moderate as much as I can and still have much more work to do. Progress!
This isn't needed as it's already profitable to buy back batteries. Tesla already does so.
The first thing I do when using a new app or operating system is to disable all animations. I even wrote a Firefox extension just to disable the "smooth seek" of the code search tool OpenGrok because it slows me down so much. I hate animations on user interfaces with a passion.

Imo animations are an accessibility feature for people who can't follow UI updates very quickly and who need the smooth transitions to keep track of what's on the page where. They should be opt-in like high contrast themes.
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi use the same frequency bands. Bluetooth radios are much weaker than wifi radios. Bluetooth devices frequently give up much faster than wifi devices. Bluetooth devices are also much more latency sensitive than wifi.

When it's a fight between Bluetooth and wifi, Bluetooth almost always loses -- big time.
Not OP, but I’d like to note that a woman in the US was convicted of vehicular manslaughter when she crossed a street on foot with her 4 year old son and they were struck by a drunk driver.

https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/06/14/raquel-nelson-finally...
> Pointing a gun at someone is generally a crime in the US.

I thought the major pro-gun argument was that criminals don't care for law? You know, the whole "If you outlaw guns only outlaws will have guns" thing. (Which is also patently false, by the way. Criminals in Germany usually don't have guns.)

I don't follow your equation.

https://ycharts.com/indicators/sp_500_monthly_return

Yours is unweighted, but return of the S&P in Dec 2021 4.36%
The dividend yield about 1.37%
The price ~4600.

4.36/1.37 - 4600 indeed very less than zero.

The relationship means nothing to me.

I must be getting this all wrong.
Also, eight seconds sounds like a terrifically long time for it to take effect. That's tens of billions of CPU cycles, billions of arithmetic instructions, millions of disk seeks, a hundred or so page loads, a dozen "knock knock" jokes in call-and-response between London and Sydney. How non-technical does one have to be to think "eight seconds" is fast in computer time?!
Thanks, that's a vastly better article than the submitted one.

I'd read it before, it's well worth revisiting.
> wearing helmets encourages risky behaviour

By this logic, there should be no life boats on ships.

And by this logic, we should just never leave the port.
The problem is that we vote for people who give us what we want for the short term at the cost of stability over the long term.
Exactly. The author is either a manipulator or manipulated, by his own admission and therefore is not to be trusted.

If you’re going to use animations, there’s three reasons to do so:

1) it adds meaningful value to the ux (like that sorting example in the link)

2) it’s a micro interaction, like a heart lighting up when you like something, so it adds delight to the ux and I don’t have to wait for it to finish

3) it covers up other jank in the ux, like known slow processing or something

If you insist of animations, make them incredibly fast, otherwise we’re all going to be mad eventually.

It’s ALWAYS better to invest the time you’d have spent on animating shit to instead just make your app faster
gun laws across the EU are pretty similar because they are all based on the same EU laws. switzerland is actually the most liberal and it doesn't have more guns either.

there are no more guns in austrian cities than there are in germany, or as far as i could tell, anywhere else in europe. maybe more people in the country side have guns because they use them for hunting. a lot of guns are also used for sport. you would only see those on shooting ranges. otherwise they are locked away.

i do agree with the idea about poverty. that makes a lot of sense and is sometimes that can and should be addressed.

1. Unsubscribe. From everything you haven’t read in the past year or so. This obviously has compounding benefits, assuming you refrain from further subscriptions.

2. Delete. Flag what you need to save and delete everything else (or vice versa, filter and delete anything you don’t need). A fully clean inbox/browser will provide daily motivation to keep it clean.

3. Review all your bookmarks/tabs, etc and identify 10-20 general themes. What are you interested in? Can you start an activity or program that would allow you to review some of your favorited content in a more organic fashion?

To-do lists can be off-putting, and I doubt you would ever sit down to read through hundreds of webpages in abstraction. By applying it to a project or educational program, you will have a tangible product/outcome, and find that you don’t need as many bookmarks on that topic. (Or maybe you’ll create more.. at least, they’ll be different).

Whenever I do this, I find myself deleting about 10% of bookmarks with every new project (and adding back less than that).
Watch the Warren Buffet videos on YouTube. I did that and followed his advise. It works.
If that's the approach you want to take, tags are links to a set of pages you've specifically defined, whether they exist or not being largely irrelevant.

The term in library science is a controlled vocabulary.

Search allows a document (or its author(s)) to define itself. A controlled vocabulary allows another party --- yourself or a third party --- to define a set of terms which describe the contents.

There are various reasons why you might not want the document's author themselves to rule over such terms as "brilliant", "fascist", or the like. Some degree of distance may be required.

Authors are also famously unreliable narrators.
Sometime in the first half of the 1980s I had a TI99/4a, my first computer.

I started programming in BASIC and it was interesting but I felt I was missing a lot in my understanding of what was really going on.

At some point I found a program called "picoprocessor" that was along these lines, but vastly simpler of course. It created on the display an operator panel for a 4-bit computer, it had maybe 2 registers and only a few operations but it was enough to get the light bulb glowing in my head about how computers worked at the assembly language/machine code level.

Seeing the state changes visually on the "panel" as the program ran was so helpful to my understanding that I still remember the experience quite clearly some 40 years later.

My dad also commented about the computers in the lab where he worked, that had operator panels with toggle switches and LEDs. He could tell what loop the program was running by the pattern of lights on the panel.
Once humans stop writing code and let AGIs do it, that is what code will look like. And it will be glorious. 90% of the code we write is pathetic shims and scaffolds to let our extremely-limited minds work on it, not useful instructions for a computer to execute our will.
Single car garages, connected townhomes, limited parking.

Dude operated at all hours with air tools and etc and took up all the guest parking with broken down cars, leaking all sorts of stuff. He was also dumping all sorts of shit in storm drains and dumping his greasy parts and trash in other people’s trash.

The catch was this wasn’t a constant thing (well not until he chose to go full asshole), just often enough to be a pain, then stop, folks hope he was done, and then he would start up again.

Even had his customers wandering around looking for where he stashed their car and asking to park in front of people’s garage… other times not asking. A few would empty their car trash on the lawns and streets.

Edit I was curious and I googled him, someone with the same name got into tax trouble a few years later. I would not be surprised.
If skin cancer deaths caused by UV are low in the US and the doctor is still concerned, I can side with the concern our doctors have in Australia. Where we lead the world on rates of skin cancer.

Any Spanish speakers interested in working on a new way to study Spanish?
Howdy.

I'm currently working on learning Spanish. I moved to Puerto Rico (I'm a SE contractor) and am studying using a variety of resources including memrize, Quizlet & various books & PDFs. Not a big fan of Duolingo, I've used it extensively in the past.

Usually when I start learning something new, I get an idea of how it could be taught better. Looking for feedback on this idea.

It feels like the way to break past the beginner plateau is reading immersion. However, it's very difficult to find easy to read stories for a beginner.

My little sister learned to read by using Bob Books. The stories started with simple sentences like "Bob has a broom", "Jill hit bob", "Bob was angry". Gradually, they introduced more complicated stories.

The idea:

Build a Spanish learning course that's centered around introducing core glue-vocabulary and grammatical structures, then provides stories & comprehension quizzes written in Spanish for the language learner to reinforce the lessons. Vocab & grammar is first introduced, then used in the stories.

Users can click on words if they don't remember them, and they'll be automatically added to their vocab study deck (based on spaced-repetition).

Gradually, the stories & comprehension quizzes will get more complicated as more grammar structures & vocab is introduced.

If there's a course out there that's like this, LMK. This seems like it would be way more effective & motivating than studying random generated sentences & phrases out of context like duolingo.

I'm looking for feedback, and potentially a spanish-speaker that would be interested in helping me write stories & structure the course. Ty!
Sometimes it's terrifying to think that nobody knows what will happen next, other times it's comforting.

What dead batteries?

A battery at 50% can be bad for a car, but perfectly useful for solar panel balancing, like Tesla sold in Australia.

Sell them at a discount, pile them up in the desert, where weight and volume don't matter.

Sheesh.
Interesting work, I'm wondering if it has any relation to a tool with the same name that is designed to automate Adobe InDesign workflows. Our company is in the publishing business and we use it heavily.

Yes I agree, that's exactly my point (even if I wasn't super clear about it) - there seems to be a definition creep in "conspiracy theory". We've all agreed those are bad and something to dismiss at face value, and so now it gets used as a rhetorical device, even when what's really being discussed is just a misconception as in the article
What's to keep your competition from flagging your own valid tags?

Or you your competition's?
If you had read the article you would know that's exactly what it says. The definition has broadened. The pharmaceutical industry has a perverse incentive to medicate everyone. They are the invisible hand destroying America. They profit off of autism, ADHD, obesity, anxiety, and depression. The opioid epidemic is the tip of the iceberg.

It should be easily noticeable in benchmarks, after all a even 5% impact can still be called "multiple orders of magnitude" from being comparable to baseline. In double chain I'd be surprised if the impact was any less.

Definitely not expecting end of the world numbers from it but at the same time I doubt many in the high end space are going to look at what that second chipset gives them and say "it's worth adding another PCIe switch in-between my addons for".

Of course you can just use the second x8 worth of bandwidth for drives but I'm not sure that sells having a chained chipset over just adding what you actually want to the first which would now have more open lanes anyways.
Just came here to talk about OpenSCAD.
http://openscad.org

it can also be used in blender, embedded into other applications.
design cad as code, use git version control for your objects & designs.
vs-code has plugins, or use the openscad

for many hackernews oriented persons this approach will be better than using a mouse.
You could have clarified that at any point without having lots of whiny, shill-sounding comments.

> It's not like the hospital intentionally hide the price and then charged her with a high price

Actually, this is exactly the practice with chargemasters: no one is able to know the price because the hospital holds the pricing information confidential.
So cool to see #34 turn up on the list.
Yeah, people buy shares of DIA all the time. It's a popular index fund. Not as liquid as spx/spy/qqq, but it's still up there
For the exact same amount? The amount of stuff people have today has absolutely exploded. The amount of content, products, quality and sophistication of these products has skyrocketed as well.

Things like an overseas holiday was described as once in a lifetime because it would literally only be affordable to do once. Modern computers would be impossible without the boost to the workforce.

Peoples expected standards of living has skyrocketed which has kept them working the same amount. And scarce things like land has gone up because you are bidding against other groups who will work two full time jobs.
Commonly called a folksonomy.

The lack of existing research to explain (or contradict) people’s reported experience is what makes projects like this so interesting, and worth devoting resources to researching further.
Not every system supports that. How would you do it in SQL?
To my mind, one of the important aspects is that code must be easy to understand, so as to write it correctly.

> You have fewer millennials than baby boomers, as the baby boomers cash out from their vanguard accounts, who makes up for the difference?

The Boomers are using or investing that cash, though. Sooner or later anyway. And that cash would flow to the current owners of the things they are patronizing.

It's not like they're investing in dry ice and then throwing it in the ocean.
That's signal integrity not latency though.
A UCLA psychologist told my parents in the late 70s that I had "autistic tendencies" when they sought a second opinion after the Texas psychologists concluded I was just stupid.

I guess I lucked out, because that's about as close as you could get to an "on the spectrum" diagnosis before Lorna Wing's work recognizing the significance of Asperger's syndrome.
It’s the sum over all periods into the future.
I think a large part of the difference is because interfaces and polymorphism is effectively free in Java, whereas virtual methods in C++ comes at a cost.
Does it? That's a supposition, not a scientific fact. Presumably they all paid some attention by passing at a safe distance. I don't see why someone paying more attention would pass further away.
I would say it’s both a misconception and a conspiracy theory.
The number of getters and setters I've written that never got changed into anything more than read/change variable has to be _hundreds_ of times more than the ones that ever did anything else.

At what point is it cheaper to just refactor into getters/setters later when needed? That point _has_ to be miles behind me.
A whole lot of the simple functions in the standard C library are in there because a naive implementation will have bugs, often subtle ones. Implementing strcpy or strlen used to be a common interview question.
NATS maybe? https://github.com/nats-io

Yeah, Kafka's complex, and it's really a tool that you need to think long and hard about whether or not your problems are complicated enough that introducing Kafka to solve them will ultimately reduce complexity.

And it's definitely something that developers have to learn the semantics of to use well.

> The documentation caps out at a very nominal level. I tried to implement a simple KVS with compact logs. Documentation ran out and I was wading in deep waters

I occasionally contribute to Apache Kafka, any pointers on what documentation was lacking, and where you could have used more? I will see if I can contribute something around that :)

> That's not to mention the growing uncertainty around the JDK/JVM.

What do you mean by this?

> I want open-source, archival, and to be able to reply event streams from the beginning.

Yeah, maybe check out Liftbridge, it's built on NATS.
https://liftbridge.io/

Apache Pulsar might be worth a look, but it's actually more complex under the hood than Kafka, but has a lot of features built-in that either aren't in FOSS Kafka yet, like tiered storage, or won't be until Confluent doesn't dominate the PMC (like an integrated schema registry), or just can't be done very nicely, if at all, like decent multi-tenancy.

That said, it's a fast moving target, the code quality last I looked was patchy in places, ditto the documentation for both it and Bookkeeper, and the admin overhead is higher (managing bookies and brokers and Zookeepers vs. just brokers and ZK with Kafka, or when KRaft is production ready, just brokers).
Please don't misunderstand, I absolutely have been using it: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/ive-made-over-700-return-w...

But when it launches, I have a competitive advantage over everyone using the service and that doesn't sit right with me.
