Interesting question. I came across this reddit thread that tries to answer that: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/am1qcd/how_d...

Some interesting things in there beyond the more obvious things like hot springs, peat, and other biomass that Iceland would have. But drift wood being a thing that I did not think off. Of course, there would have been some forests initially and also the ability to import timber and other materials from elsewhere in exchange for some of the exports (fish, whale oil, etc.).
> Long term planning is meant to give people an idea of what's coming after.

This is precisely the problem though. Your statement is contradictory because if (as you say) long term plans don't in fact work, that "having an idea of what's coming" is complete fiction.

And trust me, confidently believing in fiction is much much worse for effective planning than proactively preparing your product for uncertain outcomes.

If I am 100% sure our product will be doing X and not Y in 18 months, I'm going to build that product with a strong bias toward X and zero consideration for Y. If I don't know what's coming, I'm going to build it with weak contracts toward both and a heavy emphasis on being refactor-/pivot-friendly. Which of those approaches will serve my company better when we unexpectedly end up switching to Y after a year?
These days CPUs have instruction windows that are hundreds of instructions deep. That typically allows for way more load hoisting than a compiler can realistically do (and that's pretty much the reason why all in-order or VLIW designs have fallen out of favor for general purpose computation).
A friend of mine who's lived in South Korea and China for the past ten years tried to open a Monzo account and they denied him without reason. I suspect it's because he hasn't had any credit history in the UK for the past ten years. So suspect lack of credit history is a big factor. Which makes sense, but it does make it useless to a lot of people. Especially given you have to apply to enable the credit features anyway

re: "mental imagery" (imagine yourself after the work has happened) - In my experience imagining myself after the work has happened is a net negative. Once I perform the act of imagining the task/project complete, I receive the dopamine reward of completing the project, and no longer have an interest in actually doing the work. I derive the most satisfaction in conquering a very complicated problem, and if I get it all figured out in my head, then I've got what I need out of it and doing all the actual implementation doesn't bring any new satisfaction to me, so I tend to then move on to the next complicated problem I can work through in my head. When I have a team of developers working for me, the project moves forward under their efforts and something really cool comes to fruition, but when I'm solo, the project stops once I've figured out the solution.

BTW - people are quick to preface with IANAL (109,000 google results), but I think it is equally important for people to start saying IANAP (I am not a psychiatrist, 633 google results). Offering armchair psychiatric advice seems like the risks are greater than armchair legal advice, because people's lives are on the line. See what /u/tamsaraas said in this thread, it is valuable. Time to normalize IANAP.

IANAP - but being exposed to all the discussion on HN about procrastination has helped me realize that I might suffer from executive dysfunction and have ADHD. But I'm seeking therapy to get a proper diagnosis and treatment for it. I appreciate people sharing their experiences, that is valuable, both for what they deal with and what works for them, but people should probably not try to fix themselves without professional help or tell other people what will fix them.

If you've lost that much weight and you can't see it (where others can), that's not normal psychological functioning. That's an eating disorder.
How do interest payments to the poor help them? They spend way more in interest expenses, heck they even pay taxes which pay the interest on government debt. Oh and finally if you buy a product from a company that borrowed money, the marginal profit of a product is necessary to cover the interest expenses of the company meaning you as a consumer pay interest in the form of higher prices on products.

The idea that the rich pay interest to themselves is laughable.

To be honest, this firmware upgrade seems to be alright. It seems to be instantiated to protect the hardware from a known bug.

The real problem when doing firmware updates is ruining right to repairs, removing access to content that is bought.

Depending on the promise on the marketing material (minimum db?), the real solution would be to fix the issue and allow people to switch in the SoundBoks for a new functioning one -- after all they did sell an item that does not work under normal use (ie. ruining the battery when the device is connected to AC and volume cranked over 5).
Sounds pretty useful to me.

People were accustomed to just having a dumb phone and using a desktop computer for things before - no one needs a smartphone! Of course that totally changed.

I order all my groceries online and have them delivered on a regular basis and yes I build up a list but there are always (always! every-week always) things that are needed ad hoc, and other things that wont last between weekly shops (e.g. fresh fruit often wont last a week so you have strawberries for a couple of days then none the rest of the week)

So classic example of where this on-demand delivery is useful could be you've planned a big meal and forgot one key ingredient, or that key ingredient has gone off, or (as often happens) the online grocery delivery didn't have that ingredient on the day of delivery then what do you do? Just not eat that day? Throw out the rest of the fresh ingredients you were going to use to cook that meal that you now cannot cook? Perhaps try another recipe only then to realise that you are missing other things you need for that other thing you are going to cook? Or what if you just forgot to order something you need? Or you have surprise guests and no coffee left? Or unexpectedly ran out of something - e.g. ran out of baby nappies/diapers because the poor kid got diarrhoea and is using them up at 4x the speed of usual .... these aren't the sort of things you can just wait a few days for the next big shop for!

For me right now I just drive 10 mins to the nearest supermarket and pick up any bits (and if I am going there are almost always other things I can get at the same time while there - e.g. more fresh fruit or whatever), but I would certainly use one of these services more in the future if they continue to exist. I personally can wait a few days for new avocados to arrive if mine have gone bad before I've eaten them (the Avocado Lottery is always cruel), but some stuff simple cannot wait (e.g. nappies, baby food, personal hygiene stuff etc)

I do agree though that for the frivolous/impulse use is kinda silly - e.g. you decide you just want an ice cream or a can of coke or something.
Thanks for the insight. The relatively low margins you suggest indicate that it might be possible to make this awfulness unprofitable with relatively small changes.

Show HN: A free web app to create, explore and generate color palettes
Hi, HN.

I was struggling to get a color palette right for a small game I was making in Unity and decided I'd throw together something that gave me a few dials to play with. Naturally, when the proof of concept worked I began expanding it and then some every time I wanted more independent control.

It was initially born of frustration of not being able to do certain basic things in Photoshop, like invert HSV values independently. And if they were possible they were usually cumbersome.

Anyway, It's done it's job for me for now. So given that color related content seems to be popular here - and I've never contributed a piece of software to the world - I thought I'd upload it to the web "as is" for free and perhaps someone else might find it useful. Any feedback is appreciated and if there is enough demand I might continue working on.

Thanks for your time.
This is a really interesting point and it resonates with my experience. When I moved to the US from Europe I was suddenly in a world where people had enormous fridges and freezers and could buy a massive amount of food at a time. They would never have fit in dinky little European apartment before!

This is also my experience for folks that live in NY.
That could build even more resentment against Putin, couldn't it?
I think most people here can. That's why, when people have enough money to retire, they DO retire, and not continue working. Work for most people is trading time and physical and mental health for money. In our profession, we got it better than most, but the underlying principle is still the same.

Also, there are definitely better and worse companies. I'm currently in the best job of my life (well paying, fully remote, very little meetings, no micromanagement, using interesting and cutting edge technology), but it took me 15 years to get there. The catch is that such companies don't have to hire that often (because people don't tend to leave them), so most openings at the market in any given moment are from shit companies where average tenure is 18-24 months and half of the staff has low-grade depression. The job market is essentially a market for lemons, unfortunately.
This story reminds me of the man behind the movie "Stand and Deliver" (1988), Jaime Escalante, who in the 80's made his school famous for generating students that passed the Advanced Placement Calculus exams.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_Escalante

1982 - 18 students passed, but by 1991 "the number of Garfield students taking advanced placement examinations in math and other subjects jumped to 570".

I like it when teachers teach far and beyond the boring old curriculum and inspire kids far beyond what they thought capable of themselves.
Freight.
Sure, but some amount of stack juggling is unavoidable once you allow for multiple arguments/return values. It's a rare case when function arguments simply map "naturally" to the top values on the stack.
What probably happened here is that the speakers were putting too much load on the battery the thing started overheating and probably caught on fire. Then lawyers got involved and you get an update without a change log (you can't admit fire hazard, can you? ;))
If we take the percentage of wealthy people that become artists as the baseline inclination of human nature, then we conclude that 90% of non-wealthy people are discouraged from becoming artists.

It'd be interesting to know how much of this happens in childhood vs. when they're choosing a career as young adults.

Theory what's going wrong....

They used an off the shelf lithium charger board. It charges the battery till it hits 4.2 volts and then goes into a trickle charge mode. There is also a protection chip which prevents the battery voltage going over 4.2 volts or under 2.4 volts by disconnecting the battery.

However when playing loud music, there are both periods of brief extreme load on the battery (ie. Hundreds of amps), but also periods of brief extreme currents into the battery. For example imagine after a drum beat, the speaker cone which has a lot of momentum and coil with a lot of inductance and flowing current needs to be rapidly stopped, and that energy ends up recharging the battery (for a few milliseconds).

As the batteries age, they get higher internal resistance, and the current dumped into the battery causes the terminal voltage to briefly rise above 4.2 volts. The recharge circuit goes into trickle mode, and the protection circuit disconnects the battery.

Now the next drum beat of your music happens, and the charger in trickle mode is providing nowhere near enough current, and the whole speaker turns off.
But that's way less harmful to society and to the "mediocre artist" than the opposite.

I just put an hourglass on my desk, but out of reach. Sand runs out, get up to flip it. One nice feature is that it makes no noise so if I'm in a meeting and can't get up or attend to it, it isn't disrupting anything or interrupting anyone. Getting into the habit of looking up at it from time to time is also good for the eyes.
make(1) has no native support for giving each build rule its own sandboxed view of the filesystem like bazel does.

If I could have a wish to upgrade file transformation with make(1), I'd probably want a widely-available, standard, simple command to make a rule-specific virtual filesystem that overlays a configurable read-only/copy-on-write view of selected existing files or directories behind a writable rule-specific output directory.

> amazing art and literature is being lost because

Very little. 200 years ago people who had to work for living didn't have time or resources to pursue their art. Today there is 2 free days a week and more free time.

There is oversupply of art and literature. The real challenge is to find anything good from the sea of mediocrity.
Can you let me know the project you're donating to? I'm interested as well.

Yeah, I walk past two smallish supermarkets on the way home from work, and I'm a 30 min walk from a couple of big ones. I never shop for a week.

That said, I also have no use for 15 minute grocery delivery because of this. And it seems like it would only work in urban/inner suburban areas; it's not going to be practical to provide this sort of service in outer suburbs/exurbs, and they're the only ones who'd have a use for it.

Outside of race / gender, the article doesn't touch on whether this has got worse or better. I would put money on it having got much worse since the 20th century, with massively increased living costs (mostly housing) and decreased opportunities for the non-wealthy / non-connected.

I believe a midget might disagree.
Did I say it did? The operations are deterministic but dynamic memory is not. But that alone is quite important. Lucky for the non-GC crowd though, as the languages often give you a stronger control over what is allocated on the stack and not.

It is an axiom at this point. GC battles are not exactly unheard of on HN. Don't worry, it gets fixed in the upcoming release - has been said for decade after decade.

No there is no solution that covers any case. But you pretty much always have to think about memory, so the appeal of using a GC when the only argument in its favor is that you don't have to think about memory is quite unclear.
I would call them timeboxes rather than deadlines.
From the title, I expected they were sounding an alarm that they are losing forests. It appears the opposite is happening. Really bewildering, given how just a couple centuries ago for most European countries having less than 70%+ forest coverage would be an oddity.
>everyone wants to make art, but very few want to pay anyone to make it.

That's not entirely correct.

Many artists were dirty poor when they started and stayed poor their whole life or died poor after wasting all their earnings.

"Legal" is a pre-requisite for "safe", and comprehensive sex education is a pre-requisite for "rare". Nobody's getting abortions just for the sake of it, I assure you. Since there's no appetite for compromise or even fact-based discussion from the anti-side, here you are.
Writing is quite different as compared to speaking. When you write, you have time to think, you can delete your last word, re-read, re-write every sentence, etc.

Writing also externalizes your thoughts, yes. But in a person to person interaction you need to basically "get out of your own head" and externalize your thoughts in real time. You also get to read the body language of the other person, feel the "vibes", etc.

I think person to person interactions, especially if they are important relationships (significant other, family, friends) is what makes us human and I am actively trying to mindfully cut back my screen time both in PC and Phone and just start interacting more. Quite difficult being an introvert and shy person but I think it's worth it.

I had(have) the same problem but I'm successfully resolving it.

In the last 10 days I made more progress than 10 years combined before.

Why? Because I realized that the problem is inside of my mind.
What is causing me to not finish/doubt my own projects?

There are many reasons, each unique to each persons's mind.

One must brutaly focus in on the specific reasons and resolve them.

The solution that is working for me: sit in front of PC, close my eyes, focus on the problem.

I am NOT talking about regular meditation. You have people who mediate hours for their entire life and get nowhere.

What DOES work is to bring and hold the problem in your mind and just let it "hover" there. Eventualy you will start getting random thoughts/ideas which will show you details about this thing and your reactions to it that you have never seen before.

Note that this can take anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes. But very often I get many insights in a single 30 minutes session, many more than just one. But it's a bit random.

Basicaly it has to be active meditation.

I hold the problem in my mind and after 5, 15, 30...minuts solutions start popping in.

Listening to Jiddu Krishnamurti is what "pushed me over the edge" to realize that sitting down alone in a quite room and examine your mind is the only way forward.

Your problems will be specific to you.

In short, you need to figure out what is preventing you from monetizing and finishing your side projects.

This thing that is preventing you is in your mind.

You are uncertain. Uncertanty creates a "choice" in your mind.

You will then pick A over B, but because the uncertanty will still be there you will forever cycle between A and B, never commiting to each.

Address the source of the uncertanty. When you do that, the choice will dissapear and never bother you again.

The problem with this advice is that I cannot give you specific advice since you will have to figure out what is causing resistance in your mind against monetizing/commiting to your side projects.
