Neither the labels or the soap are the same today. The current version with Palm oil is a noticeably different in feel. Still some of the best soap around but not as good as it used to be.
Yep I get the point and I definitely learn by doing. I think best strategy is a combination of reading/study and then trying to apply new learning.
Not sure why but this just seems so useless and defeatist. Why is learning new things “brain games”?
Then you might be interested in my application that I posted here the other day. It's mainly a GUI application for power users, but it also has a console application so you can integrate it into your workflow. The JSON support I had added as an additional feature, but to my knowledge it is not used by anyone yet (at least I had no support mails about it). Oh, and it works without cloud and can be used completely offline (after one-time online activation, if you want to remove the demo watermark).

Nice detailed write-up. A random extra observation: assuming you're building your own kernel, you can bundle initramfs into the kernel as a single UEFI executable without needing that third-party boot stub.

Set CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE to point at your initramfs (usual cpio newc), and CONFIG_CMDLINE/CONFIG_CMDLINE_FORCE if you want to hard-code the kernel command line too.

Show HN: I built an app for helping other solo founders with their project
Working as solo developer, I have to juggle so many tasks from various different categories which can be pain-in-the-ass to organized let alone scheduled. To help me tackle this, I ended up combining calendar, to-do list & project manager rolled into one. Other for organizing purpose, you can also schedule your task right on your calendar and they will keep you updated on whether it's upcoming or in progress also with how long until the task is started or finished.

I know many HN user works with tasks in various different project and I think my app can help with that. Feel free to leave me any feedback.
A Defender’s Mitre ATT&CK Cheat Sheet for Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
The title sounds like a non-question.

I posit that learning anything (even fengshui or astrology), at any age, will make you smarter, as long as you bring a pair of critical eyes with you. Besides learning about the actual “thing” (which you can still fail at the end of the day), you can always introspect to figure out why/how you failed and what your limits are, and then you’ll maybe find closure in saying “I’ve tried. It didn’t work out. There was no 'wasted potential' - the potential was never there to begin with. And I’m a wiser person now.”

Out of the 3 "Insight Porn" examples linked in the article, I think the Paul Graham essay seems out of place. I know I know, this is hacker news. Yet another person sticking up for pg. But I just don't think this essay (or others) is really trying to boil some dream/goal into steps. In fact, in the "How to get startup ideas" referenced in this post, pg says:

"So if you can't predict whether there's a path out of an idea, how do you choose between ideas? The truth is disappointing but interesting: if you're the right sort of person, you have the right sort of hunches. If you're at the leading edge of a field that's changing fast, when you have a hunch that something is worth doing, you're more likely to be right."

To me, he is doing the opposite of insight porn. Basically saying this might not even be for you. He doesn't even suggest that you go become an expert in something. Rather, he just throws his hands up. He tries to spare you from the disappointment of hearing this by calling it "interesting". That contrasts _a lot_ with what most of the insight porn is trying to convince you of. They rarely try to disappoint you and mostly just hype/pump you up.

It sounds like the fasting is required to best utilize the supplement. So, if you buy into this at all then you need both together.

I think fasting alone has already been shown to be beneficial and not harmful, and I don't see enough proof that the supplement doesn't cause some harm from hot-rodding something, but I'm nobody. So, perhaps it's true that supplement alone is of little value, fasting alone is good, and fasting plus supplement is better.

My bad. When I wrote the second number, I just added 1 to 29.7. Should be 62.7

It does feel very "15 million merits" - finding something actually raw and authentic, and then coopting the surface aesthetic of it to sell bland corporate shit.

Note to anyone in corporate management - if you watch that Black Mirror episode and think that it's one of the few with a happy ending, you are the baddies.

Also, from the article - "grassroots". I'd have LOL'd if I hadn't just died inside.

The one thing that gave me deep insights into algebra was discovering Peano's axioms.[0] I had been taught the associative, transitive, and distributive laws in 6th grade at school, but discovering the axioms really opened my eyes in high school; especially under what circumstances they could and couldn't be applied. The last penny to drop was to realise that where you have numbers (e.g. x) you could also substitute formulas, provided you adhered to the rules of when the axioms could be applied. Obviously for similar reasons this also applies to matrices (e.g. when can matrices be inverted (additive and multiplicative), and hence why matrix addition is commutative, but multiplication is not).

Don't get me started on subtractive anti-commutativity vs divisive anti-commutativity.

Another thing that bothers me is when helping the my own kids with maths I came to realise that their teachers don't know the Peano axioms, so how the heck can my kids even stand a chance at properly learning algebra.

I read a story where the main protagonist ran a business who did nothing but provide solutions to people. They would come in, pay a fee, and he would dispense a solution to their problem that would make things better if only the advice was followed.

I thought it delightful. A problem I have that I can simply ask for a solution and get it? That would be great.

The reason these bad actors exist is that they recognize the same: people struggle and just wish someone would offer real advice. If everyone wishes to dig for gold, sell shovels right? Well if everyone is dealing with failure, feelings of inadequacy, and a desire to change why not sell them the hope that if you do these simple things everything will be better.

It is a desirable thing, even for me who should know better.
> Good thing about the FW is that the AfD has some serious, and arguably less critical, competition.

I'd prefer the FDP to take up that role like they do in federal government. While I in no way like or support the populist bullshit that the FDP pulls (e.g. their questionable appeasement towards COVID deniers), they're at least somewhat grounded in democracy. The FW are dangerous because of their structure - grab up enough support locally to run under their banner and you can talk whatever shit you want, including cuddling up with the far right [1].

What a pro tip! This was an easy change; I've pushed it to the repo and will be out with the next release I put out later today. Any other suggestions you have I'd love to hear.

I wonder if it would be possible to create a test jig that turns on the ADCs all at once then samples data through them (perhaps just from a function generator)?
Yeah, you get more information the more data point you explicitly define. The challenge is reaching a compromise between "easy to explain" and "captures a lot of information". Depending on your audience, you probably want to expose more granular data, but for the laymen I think multiple points all on the same function is they best compromise, since you just need to explain one simple function and 4-5 well picked values for that function.
> but doctors have never been helpful at even going in that direction

Yeah it's really weird that when doctors profit from pathologically over-prescribing antibiotics, they're hesitant to consider the long term effects of doing so.

It's almost as if "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it".

Really, really strange.
Omg, thats awkward. Should not have happened. Its working now :)
I had this type of relation with my previous Peugeot 307. Bought it used for €6000, drove it for ten years. Towards the end, all the ABS sensors were held on by epoxy since the bolts had snapped off during replacements. Fun fact, when the ABS system is out of operation and you lock up the wheels on an icy road going 70-80 km/h, the car is easy to control but it automatically turns on the hazard lights. Confused the hell out of me at first.

I had a jury rigged wiring harness for the front indicator lights. The exhaust consisted more and more of my crappy stick welds rather than original metal. I had changed basically all suspension and brake parts at least once myself. Main headlights were starting to wear thin since the haze had been polished off many times.

Drove it until the front right wheel literally fell off during one Christmas holiday (the steering link broke and the wheel turned 90 degrees out, fortunately at low speed). At that point it had close to 300 000 km on it, and we had been test driving new cars for almost a year in anticipation of the final trip to the eternal rusting fields. Total cost of ownership was amazing though, and it was really spacious and practical, I miss that car.
Good old taylor series, of course!
> but they don't seem to have quite the interest in tinkering with these things I do

They are probably bored and planning an escape. You have no idea how visible the scripting is, including all the fake joking around step. Engineers are not children, and if they are you hired the wrong people. Let them get on with work, and do a weekly or by weekly standup instead. Be sure to … “empower” them to talk to stakeholders and let them be proactive.
Awesome! Rusts ad-hoc "the compiler is the specification" has always been a huge turnoff for me, and a huge hurdle when learning the language.
The language is just too complex and the compiler is too large and smart/magical to really get what's going on from ad-hoc alone.

Zig is also very compiler dependent, but at least the language has direct enough translation as a goal, that it's straightforward to learn the semantics from trial and error alone.
Life is always changing. What advice you read about today may not stick nor apply to you right now, but it may in the future. Things don’t change, we do.

> Many people that truly accomplished amazing things, when asked for the key to their success come up with some framework or playbook that they, in fact, never used themselves.

This comment feels like a rant with no justification. I know many highly accomplished people who will tell you what they did to achieve the promotion, land the deal, or deliver the project. Are they fleeting generalizations in a self-help book? Not usually. But there are visions, systems, and frameworks they have developed over the years, simply summed up as their personal philosophy.

Insights can be profound to one and dumb to another. Does it make insights a bad thing? Absolutely not. Some people are ready for them, some people are not. Some people 10x their life with a simple idea like a vision board. Some never try it because they think it’s dumb. I’m of the opinion that unless you try everything at least twice, you can’t know if it works for you or not.

I sure do love and miss doing this kind of engineering work.
The premise that in the event of an apocalypse some 80ies CPUs would be more readily available than today's commodity chips already prevents me from taking this too seriously.

But those simple Chips are certainly easier to wrap your head around for programming. In the event of apocalypse the most abundant computing platform would be old Android phones however.
I think the invitation to subscribe to the author's newsletter at the bottom of the page is ironic.

Personally I enjoy my government roads, schools, fire service and all the rest.

Perhaps when you’ve grown emotionally, you’ll understand that government is people working together to achieve a common good. It’s flawed and easy to get wrong, it oversteps and overspends, but I’ll take that over "fully realised" adults living in a bear-ridden trash heap because they “took responsibility” for their own garbage disposal.
Sounds like a great conversational icebreaker if you ever talk to an agent!
Oh certainly. But if I have already been quite aware that I keep falling into a particular Internet hole and I am not really enjoying it, plugging up that hole helps me be more aware of how I’m using my time, and go do something that’s more relaxing than “scrolling Twitter hoping for amusement”.
Feynman’s first assignment required him to study the nervous system of cats. So he went to the librarian in the biology section and asked her if she could give him a map of the cat.

“A map of the cat, sir?” she asked, horrified. “You mean a zoological chart!”

“From then on there were rumors about some dumb biology graduate student who was looking for a map of the cat.”, wrote Feynman in his book Surely You’re Joking Mr. Feynman.

Well, there is ISO 13211-2 - Prolog part 2: modules [1], but it was flawed, ignored, and didn't help portability. There was also the Prolog Commons [2] initiative to identify common ground for basic libs. The importance of these features are judged differently depending on whether you're belonging to those who want to use Prolog in the large (with types and libs, LogTalk being an extreme example) vs those who want to embed Prolog into a host language and use it just for what Prolog really excels at.

Having ported a non-trivial Prolog code base to ISO Prolog [3], I can say that lack of modules/libs wasn't the problem in that particular case (I really should come around and write up a more comprehensive tutorial for common problems in porting Yap- and SWI-specific code to ISO Prolog based on the material I have).

My guess is that a big chunk of the "insight porn" and self-help landscape would fade away if it was subject to a data driven evaluation. Given a piece of advice or a self-help book, how many people did actually change their behaviour after reading it? And did the change persist long-term? Unfortunately, such data is not available.

From the fees. 90% of a $1.1111 profit is $1.

Notably, you don't need to post $N to make this bet. PredictIt calculates your worst case scenario and holds only that money. A set of "No" shares worth N-1.12, if it existed, would be literally free to hold. Fees are included in that calculation, but also fees are based on the difference between that cost to hold and the return. So yes, profits mean different things in different parts of that calculation in this degenerate case.

A full set of Nos worth N-1 would be a guaranteed loss of $0.10 per share from fees. PredictIt would hold that 10¢ and you would never see it again.
Zooming into specific anecdotes is a paralyzing trap in almost all policy discussion. This is a population-level question; you look at population level results and only look at individual cases to search for obvious terrible effects.
>Like unless you believe that there is truly no difference in the imposition of "normal" work and oncall situations, and you believe that no one else who is rational can see a difference

There is a difference—the on call shift is more of an imposition. During regular hours, I could just decide to go for a walk for twenty minutes and nobody cares. I can't do that if I need to be able to have a few minute response time.

They don't necessarily deserve it. If I control how an asset is allocated due to some arbitrary event, it does not follow that I deserve whatever I've allotted to myself. It can be "legal and above board" and still be unjust. Because the laws and boards can be constructed to allow what I'm doing.

Also, define bribe. Define corruption. If my best friend is a lawmaker and I spend every weekend with them and I manage to persuade them due partly to the amount of time I get to push my point view, is that corruption? Is it corruption if I become friends with him solely because he's a lawmaker? If I didn't know before I became friends. If we were friends before? Why are any of these different, if any?

I like how you say it's not clear that they aren't allocating profits based on the value, but somehow it's very clear they deserve it, what corruption is, and what bribery is.

No. The only thing that is not clear is that maybe they don't deserve the sheer amount of wealth they've extracted from everyone else.

Cheap rent certainly facilitates nightclubs and venues, but it's not entirely what shaped the area - Denmark Street was a centre for the music industry long before Crossrail and urban decay.

The music industry on the street dates back to it being a centre of music publishing in the 1920s, back when music publishing meant publishing sheet music more than it meant publishing recordings. Recording studios and music shops popped up through the 60's and 70's when traditional music publishing declined. Finally in the 80's nightclubs appeared, probably due to cheap rents due to the rail safeguarding you mentioned.
