I wonder whether the teeth falling out dream is related to bruxism.

I guess that now and then I have the dream. More commonly my dreams are somehow tech related.
Article says that powerplants in Finland have reduced power output, but as far as I can determine, that's just not true at all. Olkiluoto 1 had extra maintenance break recently because of faulty fuel assembly, but is now on full power since last weekend. OL3 is still in testing phase, some issues with turbines were discovered and are being worked on and it's currently not producing any power. Testing program should continue within a week or so.

Edit: article is from 2018, can't recall if power output was reduced then.

End of an era. Met and worked with him a few times. He was certainly an interesting character.
Another reason "from scratch" is just crazy talk: If they start from scratch it means literally redoing all the libraries. The thought of apple redoing parsers for PDF, JPEG, BMP, PNG, XML, etc, doesn't really invoke confidence for me. They probably create more bugs than the working library has. Unless they do it in rust but even then some bugs inevitably remain.
Re: comments about "not-desperately-needed".

Thanks, but I'm a old geezer, with minimal social media footprint. Preaching the Global Warming Gospel on HN has no upsides that matter to me. Vs. that phrase is pretty descriptive, in the context of modern American's infrastructure failures. And it helps summarize why certain infrastructure projects - such as the I35W replacement bridge - seem to go fast & smooth.
Yes! And a lot of people forget that, but I calculated it and the average spending increases I've been seeing in my household are up more like 15% YOY over the last 2 years. And that coincides with a significant reduction in consumption on our part as well as substitution for cheaper goods over that same period.
This was a 2018 issue, but today's issue in 2022 is extremely concerning, as production is less than 50% of capacity right now:

Their fleet is aging out, is experiencing long down times to check on the reactors.

Also concerning is that their attempts at new construction have been failures, in Flamanville and Olkiluoto. They might future it out, but it will take multiple decades to build again, there is no quick fix for building new nuclear.
It is part of the fight-flight-freeze response. In humans, it can be triggered by abstract thoughts, and not just from predators. It can go all the way from mild depression to full catatonic states.

Binge watching and on-demand viewing aside, there's also just a lot more fragmentation of TV viewing. Even a hit streaming show like Game of Thrones has much lower viewership than hit network shows did at least in the US.

But certainly the asynchronous watching has an effect too. "Everyone" watched Seinfeld etc. on Thursday night. Today, even for shows that drop weekly, most people are just out of the habit of watching shows as soon as they come out.
I saw a quotation purporting to be from Einstein, railing against the income tax, used in a hard libertarian documentary. I wish I could find it now.
Could be lots of things more or less public and unrelated. One more diplomatic visa, help locating/finding/extraditing an India national from U.S., a little help for a contract... Countries have a lot of "diplomatic" incentives they can use for situations like that. And sometimes it is totally worth spending 10x the fraud amount if what you want to do is an example which could well be the case here.
1) companies saying there is a huge shortage of candidates
2) companies announcing hiring freeze

I sense this has nothing to do with economics and it is probably just an attempt to stagnate wages, scare the peasants not to demand inflation pay raise.

My compan (5bn revenue) did basically the same. Closed a huge hcol office and a few months later started to hire again like crazy in another hcol.
Too late to edit.

The sinplest way to judge if appointment lead times are good, you can compare patients prefered date against the one they got and the one they actually used. There are so many options to do it right, assuming someoje wants to measure things like this.
Sometimes it comes down to having a third party service handle support or provide the framework, so adding it as a subdomain makes it easier to integrate into your site. And Google often treats subdomains as their own site so you can have a well structured support driven layout, rather than a site trying to showcase featured content while battling with support content.
> It does nothing to resolve the issue with serotonin levels not causing depression while antidepressants have a proven (slight) positive effect on depressive symptoms. It also doesn't do anything for explaining the effects from antidepressants that affect other things than serotonin.

Agreed it doesn't do these things, but there is value in publicizing the fact that "the idea that depression results from a 'chemical imbalance' is hypothetical." Anecdotally, most people I've encountered that are depressed view the chemical imbalance theory as fact. This has consequences in how they approach treatment (medication-centric) and in how they view their situation (inalterable).
They are a fine way to build up a solid conservative voting bloc among the elderly. They have property that has appreciated, but their income is well down (usually) from their peak earning years.
UX advice: I skipped the instructions and have no idea how to play it. I refreshed and it HTTP 405'ed.

Disable any visual feedback if the user clicks and drags over the grid.

Find a way to 'pulse' the color which is in the top left, so the user knows where the buttons apply to AND that the buttons are active and apply to the selection.

Grey out the buttons which do nothing.

Remove the 3,2,1 in practice mode

The colors need work, I'm not color blind, but I struggle with Orange/Red/Yellow here when they're adjacent

Display the effect a button will have when you hover over it on PC, (maybe) when long-pressed on mobile

Space out the initial 'mode selection' buttons a bit more

"I'm colorblind" needs to be bigger, and clicking on the text should affect the state of the checkbox. 48dp touch targets minimum

(maybe) Change "I'm colorblind" checkbox to a 'Colorblind mode' toggle.

(analytics) the game feels is slightly too long. A/B test to see what works. Intuition tells me you'll want 12 moves and a smaller grid, rather than 16.

(analytics) Look into the relation between win rate and retention AND how users interact with the app if they lose their first game. You might want to make the first game easier (in practice mode).

----

(more serious investment). Show don't tell. Remove the rules. Turn it into a card-view or similar with animations. I shouldn't need to be able to read to play the game. This has the advantage of making it open to any internet user in the world of any age.

----

Leaderboard: I don't care about the leaderboard or points because the points are meaningless and not explained well. I'd cut it.

I'd experiment with "X% solved this in 16 tries" (obviously with handling for the first user)

----

(maybe) consider slightly dimming the colors which aren't adjacent to the current 'blob'
The biggest problem I had with firefox back in the day was it would eat up so much RAM. I'm a developer and I'm constantly loading, reloading, profiling etc across multiple tabs and eventually my pretty powerful PC would become slow. I had to restart firefox every time.

When chrome launched, I was thrilled that it had firebug features "built in" and that it didn't eat up 80% of my RAM.

The article mentions Firefox being not a processor hog anymore, has that changed that drastically?

After a while, Firefox would be incredibly sluggish and when I switched to chrome, I haven't looked back at all. These days, I use brave browser for personal browsing and chrome for work
No, you're missing the point. You need a military to defend the homeland. That could be done with a few dozen nukes and the national guard. We do not involve ourselves in 'smaller wars' as we are no longer the world police.
I worry about long-term users skipping a day and going deep down a blackhole. Some correlate mass shootings and heavy antidepressant use (then rapid cessation).
Obviously anecdata but I suffer from bruxism and I have never had that dream. I thought it was so strange that it was a top for many countries.
Short term to get you out of the dark hole or unstuck the rut, antidepressants are no panacea but are helpful especially combined with some other form of psychotherapy to figure out the underlying problem.

Things that work like a charm in e-commerce or fashion will most likely not work on devs.

Not just 'not work', but 'actively repel'. A popup chat bot or a survey form request (during or after using a website or software product) or anything not germane to the task that has a shadow or notification highlight has slowly but surely become a form of wart that elicits a deep, instinctual disgust from me. I'd even say an unhealthy and unreasonable level of disgust.

It's enough to get me to instantly despise a product almost nomatter how well it does its original job.

But 100 folks who actually click ads or interact with these distraction baubles (mistakenly or otherwise) are worth thousands of people like me, so I understand why it won't ever change for the better out of a company's own volition.

When it comes to advertising, say, developer tooling, I think a large part of the problem is that there's just not going to be a lot of relevant tools out there, for my job or hobbies, that I either don't already know about (and aren't using because I have already evaluated its prospects) or... I am already using it. Conversely, seeing ads for something I am already using has potential for negative effects (see above). Tasteful advertising is thus useful for the rare case of something I don't know about, but I don't think it's worth it when 999/1000 of these ads are detrimental and irrelevant.

The post describes essentially a spectral method for solving ODEs in the Taylor (monomial) basis. Haskell definitely makes it nice to play around with this, but the monomial basis is terribly ill conditioned and not a good choice for this application. The Chebyshev basis is much better. Anyone who finds this neat, I recommend checking out the chebfun family of packages. They use the same idea but with much more rigorous numerics.
Interesting; how does that work under the hood?

I agree - the list is truly impressive. I ran a quick spot-check and it looks like most of these blogs are of medium to low activity. Having 1000 blogs in your RSS reader with an average of 1 article per month per blog results in reading 3 articles per day on average - not bad.

Not sure why the mpc-hc.org website hasn't been handed over to the new maintainer. That would resolve the discoverability issue with the clsid releases.

In terms of improvements over v1.7.13 - off the top of my head - dark mode UI, youtube-dl support and HDR video playback.
A d they are giving away licences in meetups, conferences, discounts on podcasts. They offer licences for opensource, for academics... If I didn't have free access as an academic I probably would not be using it with a license today.
I hypothesize without much direct experience that the executives of an organization should come to see excessively optimized metrics as a red flag. If what you are measuring has been optimized to the n'th degree that is sufficient proof that something you are not measuring is suffering. There is always something important you are not measuring. It may be something measurable you aren't measuring today, or it may be an unmeasurable, but there's something.

Creating a new metric and seeing it go up for a year or two is good. Creating a new metric and seeing it go up and up and up past that ought to be considered suspicious. Not automatically "wrong", but something to dig into, rather than celebrate on cognitive autopilot.
Yeah and you're being such a good friend to them.

Might be true too. Yeah I think it is.
You can also use `git stash apply` (which doesn't pop the stash), followed by maybe merging, and finally a `git stash drop`.
Good old Calendar Queues: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_queue

These things are common in discrete event simulation, but, are useful anytime you have a time based queue.
Cooling can be extremely expensive, in the wrong locations. Diablo Canyon in California uses once-through ocean water for cooling, which is not allowed in new licenses because of environmental damage. Building cooling towers in the challenging geography there would cost somewhere between $5B-$15B (I can't remember the exact numbers, nor find the source document with all the options evaluated since 2020, the decision was made many years ago). At that cost they decided to shut down the nuclear plant rather than try a cooling retrofit.

This is probably an extreme case for costs, however.

A lot of these are lifestyle sports that come with the benefit of a built in community.

Sailing - boat club

Climbing - gym

Surfing - the other folks at the spot

Skiing - lift/lodge people (also if you really care about skiing all the time you probably move to SLC or somewhere that can accommodate that)

Once you have that community, the "willing partners" part kind of solves itself.
Supposedly a bunch of routine maintenance was also deferred during the pandemic and has now come due, meaning that more plants are down for maintenance at the same time than normally.
It would be useful to have a monotropism knob, to turn up when studying something technical or coding, and down when situational awareness is key, as in hunting or at a party. At least if we could experience different levels of focus it could make us aware that a high position on the spectrum can be more advantage than disorder.
Good ole Wikipedia gate-keeping.

Would people really pay a professional to produce print-ready PDFs of their personal wikis, do you think? Or are you more thinking of a paid software product that would do it for them? The latter would be tough since wikis come in a million different forms.

This has nothing to do with Netflix. Most television shows still get released on a week-by-week basis. It's more about the death of network television and proliferation of options. Everything is a paid service and people's subscriptions don't universally overlap. There is virtually nothing left that everyone watches (except the Super Bowl). No more Mash finales.

There's kind of still tentpole film releases, but Covid put a serious damper on that for a few years, and globally the market is splitting with China and India developing their own gigantic film industries equal to Hollywood.
Yep same guy, and if the thread makes it unclear I really do consider Jared a genius of the most wonderful sort
Which is why we would have nukes, a national guard sufficient to defend the homeland, and little else.
I find there is value in both, for me.

Even if Lionel Messi's problems are so far from mine that I can't understand, getting a glimpse into what his set of problems and his mental framework that got him there _could be_ valuable. The mental framework he uses could be something I could use to improve.

I agree, though, that I can't just use advice from someone who is on a whole different level. You can't use a great solution to a problem that doesn't exist in your situation.
"exacerbated a selloff that foisted steep losses on mom-and-pop owners of Bitcoin and other tokens"

I find this slightly tendentious language to use – there are zero mom-and-pop type investors in crypto, just blind speculators gambling on an essentially worthless Ponzi with close to zero real-world utility. Mom-and-pops put their hard-earned assets into stable long-term stores of safe value, not digital beans.

"The fool and his money are easily parted" is something I want to write on almost every crypto horror-story that appears on HN. The PhD-level quants at the serious banks and funds must lick their lips every time they hear about companies like 3AC, and rightfully hammer the arse out of them at a second's opportunity. A better name would have been 1AC – an arrow pointing right down to minus-zero.
But even after cable TV, which is pretty ancient at this point, the networks--especially the Big 3--still mostly dominated viewership. There were occasional hits on channels like AMC, but it was mostly ABC, CBS, and NBC.
"Only what’s measured is what matters" is much more sweeping than what I've usually heard, which is, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it."

I understand that managers may conflate the two.

What really sticks in my craw about this mindset is that it's lowest-common denominator management. The spoken implication of metrics-driven management is to keep the organization focused on KPIs, but the unspoken implication is that employees can't be trusted. That is probably true for many employees, but not all. This lack of trust between management and employees is a big red flag for me, bigger than the hassle of micromanagement.
Pithy lessons from 15 years of software project work
Look for a trainer who looks like how you want to look in 5 years.

But seriously, most gyms allow you to book single sessions with various individual trainers. Try a few and see if you're compatible with one. It's such an individual thing that no else can tell you exactly what to look for.
The reframing of executive dysfunction as a kind of mental inertia is interesting and consistent with my personal experience with the phenomenon. They say that the beginning is the hardest part, but it has always been almost unbearably hard for me. On the other hand, once I start doing the thing I wanted-but-wouldn't, I usually go on with it for quite some time.

This also reminded me of the article[1] about the “Bayesian interpretation” of Autism and several others mental conditions. I'm not sure how much rigorous study there is behind such theories, but they do provide an interesting framework to think about these conditions.

Once when another person in IT was on vacation, I was handed off a manager's laptop to scan for porn. There was no automated tool, so as I recall I did a search for files created or modified since the last check. I found nothing to report.

I think that the periodic checks were set up because a subordinate of the manager's had seen the porn on the machine, and had gone to HR.

Ridiculous. SSRIs are literally life saving medication. Millions of people have seen themselves and their family members go from suicidally depressed to normally functioning due to SSRIs.
I do not see any benefit this has over regular Homomorphic Encryption. The third party server in a centralised approach can be trusted just as much with homomorphic encryption. There are some results that suggest that a block chain will never be able to transact faster than the slowest node so there is no speed up benefit either.

They obviously don't work all the time, look at their uptime it is not glorious. But sure they work at night solar and they work with no wind etc...

- Bugs are often found and unreported, leaving the user with a general impression of janky software and damaging your word-of-mouth efforts.

- Some bugs aren't triggered often but are still bad when they happen. Sorting in Python and Java/Android was broken for ages, but not in a way you'd hit often.

- In keeping with the above point, failure rates are exponential in the complexity of your software in the presence of buggy components. Future changes and additions will be problematic on a buggy foundation.

- Many bugs go unnoticed while still causing damage. You know that kind of "oh shit" moment when you compare the last year of payments in one database to another and find duplicates or missing records? You're not sure yet what went wrong, but _something_ definitely wrecked a lot of people's days.

- Similarly with anything involving proper subnormal support, bit-accurate transcendentals, .... If you don't have a good idea what the result was supposed to look like and it was built on a numerical house of cards then you might get lucky most of the time, but some of your outputs are going to be subtly wrong in ways that definitely hurt the business and probably won't be picked up on for ages.

And so on. Maybe it's not worth fixing the bugs in some piece of software (balancing constraints and all that), but there's definitely value to be had.
This could just be a symptom of getting old. Whatever subcultures you found yourself a part of are basically what you're stuck with at this point, unless you go out of your way to find different kinds of people and hang out with them. This is a lot different than when you're still in school and forced to be in the same room with people that are nothing like you for many hours a day, many days a year, years on end.
