Yeah, I've learned to be able to wake up at will too. However, it always comes at a cost. I have to kill myself in the dream, and it always involves being hit or run over by a train.

But sometimes it doesn't work entirely as I end up waking up in another dream, which is sometimes freaky, as it's not evident to me at first that I'm in just another dream or if I am awake. But once I figure I'm still dreaming, I can always cause that train to appear again.
It's a closed source app. Translation: you and I don't know what it does.

This just isn't true. It's a claim trivially disproved in public by, say, gazillions of detailed P0 posts. Again, all you have is namecalling and confidently stated things with obvious counter-examples.

Claiming otherwise is ridiculous.

Yours is an extraordinary claim that requires, never mind extraordinary, any evidence.
…good for you?

Like, I absolutely empathize with GP. I’m typing this comment on an iPad, and in the previous sentence I hit the letter ‘m’ while reaching for the spacebar and didn’t realize until 3 characters later. I finished that sentence and realized it contained “thus” where I meant to write “this”. Then in that sentence I fucked up while typing “contained”. When I tried to do the swipe-down gesture to put stars around “that” I missed and hit the number 5.

Touch keyboards are a menace. Just because I can easily recover from errors doesn’t make them less annoying.
My experience exactly. My intuition tells me dreams that should be recalled will be, the rest really don't need to be.
It's good to hear your experience is positive

My guess would be that people that come from C++, where meta programming is insanely complex and hard to follow, would guess that a language that encourages meta programming would often lead to complex and hard to follow solutions. A DSL that looks simple on usage but then looking into how it works is 10 nested complex compile time macros.
The same may have been said about most other technologies introduced. The fact that a Windows .exe can do a lot more because it has access to DirectX doesn't invalidate the effort made in a demo of the same size made for the C64. There simply are different categories.

I don't think they'll be much ruining going on. The people who make these demos use everything they can get their hands on, as long as it helps with cool visuals, a great soundtrack, and sandal executable size. In terms of how they get there everything seems to be allowed and even expected. And if one of those things is a trained network, so be it. Many groups have their own custom tools or even one-offs for only one demo.
Many good and interesting comments from people with high dream recall ability, but I'm more interested in the opposite.

I guess I am what the article describes as a low dream recaller. I recall a dream definitely less then once a week on average - significantly so. For me it's more like a couple of times a year or maybe once a month at best. It basically only happens when my sleep is interrupted. It has always been like that even in phases of my life where I had enough sleep.

I wonder how common that is? In the study from the article 27 out of 55 participants were low dream recallers. I assume participants were selected for dream recall ability and these numbers tell us nothing how common low recall ability really is?

"The study included 55 healthy participants (ages 19–29) with normal sleep characteristics and body mass index. Twenty-eight participants were high dream recallers (able to recall about 6 dreams per week on average), while 27 participants were low dream recallers (recalling less than one dream per week on average)."
Healthy food is more expensive than junk, but still fairly inexpensive in the U.S. Especially when you get free food stamps.

It's so much easier just to harvest the blood from young children.
Strange, I've never seen a Facebook or twitter notification. They both have notifications switched off and android respects that.

My twitter account goes weeks without being accessed.
Part of the reason AOL was successful was the limitations of dial-up and the inclusion of high quality art assets on AOL CDs, that made it more fun and visually interesting to be on AOL vs the WWW in the mid-90s. Browsers were pretty bad (AOL's own internal browser included), HTML was quite limited, etc. Broadband is what killed AOL. The moderation was pretty loose on the forums and chat rooms, and it felt like a pretty free place to be.
Funny enough the prior end of this continuum was (free) local phone calls that you could leave open for hours to discuss with your neighbor friends while doing something else. Once you hang up you're off, and it's completely limited session in time and space.

I see some companies trying to replicate that with discord rooms, I don't know if it has much success for work organizations.
The last phone boxes: broken glass, cider cans and – – a dial tone
You're making a lot of generalizations that are objectively false, and yes you can blame this outcome on society. Society has just as much an obligation to ensuring the well-being of children as parents do. That's why schooling exists in the first place, and is why schools should be the ones to provide healthy food.

And food stamps barely cover anything for families these days. Considering I've had first hand experience with that and my family, I know it to be true.
I think Tinder is one of the worst offenders. It spams you daily about why you should be swiping, but you kind of need to have notifications since its a chat app.
Very true! Though biological systems are also vulnerable to resources running out. Also, biological systems are frequently stupendously complex, as well as being robust (contrary to the article's claim).

At a guess, I'd think the difference is to do with the shape of the fitness landscape. If things are failing, or getting attacked and disabled all the time, robustness will result. Whereas a rare but serious failure is much less likely to be manageable.

Then again, perhaps evolution / god is just a better designer than us!
College these days is primarily interested in eliminating critical thought, not improving it.
I learned Python probably over 15 years ago. Haven't used it very much and certainly not followed all the news.

I remember back then it was said the design philosphy was something like there should be one obvious way to code something correctly. In opposite to Perl where the philosohpy was that human thoughts can take weird ways and you should be able to put your thoughts to code directly. (Both characterizations from memory.)

Today I hear little from Perl. And with new syntax added to Python in every version I start to wonder how far away Python is drifting away from that original characterization above.
I thought Honda mostly switched to THS-like sometime mid 200x? I know their early stuff wasn't and you could get a manual transmission Honda Civic Hybrid, but I had rwad that they switched.

Looks like Hyundai/Kia aren't though. And I wasn't able to get a good read on a lot of them. I guess I over generalized from Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Chrysler.
I believe we will need to give all the women testosterone treatments so they can grow beards too, better safe than sorry.
As an anecdote, in Genshin F2P is totally adequate — its key feature is that max character level is constrained and easily achievable, so the main difficulty becomes getting new rare characters, especially if you’re impatient.

Of course there's a limit. If there were no limit we'd have infinite free power generation.
What kind of startup are you? Where do you want to use office? Who creates most of the content?

I have worked at a company that started with Googledocs and ended with Markdown (paper / design docs) and reveal.js for presentations. And that is something I can take recommend. Why? Because it is simple text that can be stored in a repository and you gain the ability to compare versions. It is easy to change and you can convert it to almost anything. The most important target is obviously pdf to communicate with customers. Nobody wants odt, docx or other strange formats that require more than a browser.

Convincing the technical people was not necessary or done quick. Non coder like the CEO did like the suggestion least, but it was a revolution from the base and people who code where mostly creating content or talking at conferences.
"Our doctors have made such astonishing advances over the last 7 years, our medical knowledge doubling in that time, that I think if I'd only been born another 25 years later, then I am sure they would easily relieve me of my asthma."

--- Laurence Stern, writing in Tristam Shandy, in 1759. He used the word "asthma" to refer to the tuberculosis that eventually killed him. As for a cure for tuberculosis, he was wrong by 200 years.

As far as I know, this was the first prediction of steady advances in medicine, as well as the first use of the trope "If I'd only been born 25 years later, doctors could cure me."

>In reflecting on this first decade of getting regularly paid money to type weird symbols into my Terminal, I wanted to take some time to share some of the ways my thinking shifted over the years as a developer.

I think that's a very low take of what means being a developer. I am not getting payed for that, I'm getting payed for solving problems. Some easy, some hard, some very hard.
That's exactly how we define senior engineer at my company. There's a lot of people able to produce code - even really complex and sophisticated. But you'll waste a lot of time if you're working without proper context and well organized team. From the other hand - you can't establish good context and organize team well without knowledge of what it takes to put requirements into code - therefore most efficient way is to blur a line between some roles.

People who realize that, usually quickly become essential to organization. Rest is typically easy to replace.

I'm worried that Google ADHD strikes Workspace, to be honest the reason many still stick up with Microsoft is that they understand the proposition of enterprise software, but assuming Google didn't touch Workspace like it did for its messaging and payment solutions it could be a 50/50 split.
it obviously only works for things shipping out of an amazon warehouse, so if you don't pay attention they may not have qualified. Likely true if you do the "marketplace" and stuff. Also obviously they have to come from the same warehouse, which is impossible to know if you live in a major metro with many.

If you're buying consumer staples (toilet paper, tide pods, cables, etc) then you should have no issue. Buying a random plastic replacement part to a 2011 Honda Civic in the unpopular color ? Good luck.
According to Wendover on YouTube, producers have not been increasing production and rather aiming for higher profits.

Yes. My suggestion is a special case of yours.

Both are equally baffling in how / why they work.

Well, the unique bit is images and homoiconic metaprogramming, not just metaprogramming. You can get that unsafely (code generation scripts) or safely (program extraction from a proof language) a lot of other places.

But the main argument is that Lisp is hyperproductive if you’re an individual brain genius who’s memorized every emacs key combo. And my point is that it doesn’t matter if you can produce something fast if you can’t know if that thing actually works.

This is the traditional “static vs dynamic typing” argument but you know, a lot of new languages have new kinds of safety features going beyond “static typing”.

And of course Lisp does make unusual decisions affecting safety. Making all numbers bignums means math is more likely to be correct since it won’t overflow, but untrusted user input can pretty easily DoS you.
I'd like the ability to whitelist notifications for certain apps by keywords. That way, I might be able to block by default and only allow through those with delivery updates.
As others have noted, the surprising part is that it follows a particular ~1/<ranking> type pattern rather than being, say, linear or something.

An interesting application is looking at untranslated works -- for example while they can't translate the Voynich Manuscript, it does follow the distribution, so it is probably not just random scribbling (of course, this doesn't rule out the likely options of cypher or constructed language).
Russian oil is still being sold to India, China, and in Europe...

> We're not dealing with the natural numbers, right?

Well, you can either assume that the envelope's numbers are specified only up to pennies. Or you can just round and say you don't care about sub-pennies.

Or you can go with your suggestion, and look at the lack of a uniform distribution over the reals / rationals.
I've never liked the streams API. We have a little tool at work that will suggest ways to replace things with stream-api equivalents, and every once in a while I'll get code review suggestions to do it, but it always reads worse to me compared to just using some for loops and if statements. and maybe a helper function if something gets really complex.

This does seem a bit better, would be curious to see in practice if it tends towards the same hard-to-readness or if it holds up.
I was an 11A, so personally no I never pulled the cord for that specific round. My FO and most of the other FA lieutenants held, basically, the same opinion as you (it's cheaper and ultimately faster to drop conventional rounds). Still, if we're not giving the Ukrainians those specific systems I'd assume the reason is we don't want the technology leaving NATO.

Do you really need notifications at all from linked in? Couldn't you just open the app a couple of times a day to check for messages.
Accelerating ethics, empathy, and equity in geographic information science
I have no doubt this exists, because I've seen it with my own two eyes. However, as someone who's also built a career doing none of this, I also realize how much of this is due to the participant's willing participation in the system, despite very little negatives should they decide not to.
This article is based on quotes from a handful of people, but I wish they would include some actual data. As it is, it's basically just speculation and statements of the obvious. How many companies are requiring workers to return to the office? Has it led to a measurable increase or decrease in productivity?
This is almost certainly leaking without you realizing it via a WHOIS contact email somewhere or another

Another possibilty is that overseas contractors for AWS regularly harvest email addresses from the support UI and spam them. Wouldn't surprise me, but the first is more likely. Wouldn't really call this a hack though either way.
>I learned all that fancy Angular-specific JSDoc syntax. My code was always twice as long because it had so much documentation and so many comments

That's a very bad habit. Code should be self documenting. If you need to write comments to explain what the code does, you've done a poor job at writing it.
so if we shave once per year that means 13.3 percent capture per year (if 30 billion)! If we go with long haired women and giving them testosterone shots that's say 26% - let's go down to 20% because hey no system is perfect.

on edit: though I live in Denmark, and given the amount of early onset baldness here makes me think much less than 20 percent! Also since testosterone can also promote baldness it probably wouldn't work, I just find the vision of a bunch of bearded women going around trying to save the world from climate change amusing.
What is the real prereq for reading and really understanding this book?
In my opinion they're both symptoms of the same thing: a tendency to categorise in very black-and-white terms a world which is far more complex.
Yes. There are times that I'm away from computers for a month or more, would be very helpful to be able to auto-reply on FB Messenger, iMessage etc to let people know I'm not ignoring them.
I like Java but I agree - whenever I write code with streams I need to reach for the documentation to figure out how to do anything.

Groovy on the other hand has very nice ways of doing the same thing that become second nature before too long.
At some point those two philosophies cross over, that's where you end up with bash or even php, there are several right ways, and several wrong ways, and all of them work.
Can't you just disable notifications for the app? If you're on android you might just be able to disable the promotional notifications.
Society has an obligation to ensuring the well-being of grown ups. Maybe start allocating and rationing food for everyone so that everyone is on a healthy diet.

Also, the average SNAP benefit per person per meal in 2019 was ~$1.40.[1] That’s not “barely anything” for a home-cooked meal. It should cover about half of a reasonably good meal.

I agree.

One of the reasons why Apple says they need a walled garden approach is to ensure that we don't get spammed with promotional push notifications.

So if they aren't protecting users, and are themselves sending us promotions, then they have one less argument for a walled garden app store approach.
Macros do reduce the surface area for mistakes, by removing redundant expressions that can be typoed. Say, you cannot forget to close a file if you use WITH-OPEN-FILE, but you can if you call OPEN and CLOSE yourself. There are other ways to not leak resources, but macros are just another way to not repeat oneself.

> But the main argument is that Lisp is hyperproductive if you’re an individual brain genius who’s memorized every emacs key combo.

I certainly haven't, though I suspect this is a bit of an exaggeration.

I have a lot of experience with food insecurity and have since I was a child. I lived with my older sister and my single mom in a trailer that didn't even have a working fridge so we didn't have the option to store healthy options for long period of times, and we lived in a rural area far from a grocery store because my mom split her time working as a farm hand and a waitress. Sometimes she would bring home leftovers from her job but it wasn't really enough for three people and it definitely wasn't what you would consider healthy.

Food stamps are much harder to qualify for than you would expect, at least in my state. "Fairly inexpensive" to you is not the same as "affordable" to other people. You also have to consider the sheer amount of time and management that goes into cooking and planning "healthy" meals. The majority of households in the US don't have the luxury of someone with the time to manage that because everyone is working, at least full time if not more and trying to live their lives on top of that. You also need to consider that there are people who live in food deserts who may only have access to stores with limited inventories, and don't have access to cars or even public transportation.

This is a fairly straight forward expectation. That app developers have to be explicitly made aware of this through a public blog post is kind of shameful. It clearly shows to what extent they are ready to abuse user attention and how little they care about end user.

This is just another example in a looong list of things which point to a steady erosion of end user control on things and how they are being reduced to agents optimizing metrics that matter for my app/product.
Again, for curiosity.
It’s not binary files per se, it’s size. Checkout sizes are in the 50 GB and up range. Also, unmergeable files are common, so there’s a strong desire for exclusive checkout. This is why game teams either split source and data (awkward to impossible depending on the game), or use Perforce.
Considering you're a developer of a game called "team fortress" (based on your HN comment history) who had a domain for team fortress with WHOIS info updated in 2021, I'd say that its probably someone on your dev team trying to make a few bucks and knew the address. But maybe you registered this with Cloudflare and forgot, and Cloudflare is forwarding the email to you.

My point was referring to any companies from emerging countries who need assess to finance ( exporting into the US or Europe which is the case for many Turkish company). Not only the ones being insolvent. They assesment is made at the entity level. The macro effect is not taken into account by them.
JavaScript is literally a Scheme “implementation”, as in it started as Scheme in a browser but they removed the s-exprs (the interface) and kept the implementation.

It does still have the other similarities; it has closures and a prototype based object system. In the 90s we only had boring Blub languages, so most of the influence that allowed such powerful concepts came from Lisp. (Though I think the prototypes are from Self.)
The signal protocol itself should run on a microcontroller. Showing images or videos would use more compute power.
