Yeah, when we feel they might need a hug (hurt themselves, some sadness, anger) we ask whether they want one. And the key here is not getting angry, sad or impatient when they refuse,but staying around patiently. It's there if they want it, there is no reason for anyone to rebuke them for not wanting to be touched... They need to know that normal is not forced in any way. To be able to see the difference, when they're being forced.

It's not something I was taught and it's very, very hard sometimes to stay and 'be there' and not hug... But the worst time to force is when they're the most vulnerable.

I don't think most manufacturers go out their way to make sure a part breaks down and it's cheaper to buy a new one. If I had something that broke after a year and can't be fixed, I certainly wouldn't buy that brand again for that item.

I think it's purely a trade off with doing its job and be cheap as possible but having a spare part available for it.

I remember reading somewhere about the cost of something in a VW engine bay, maybe an air intake box, they designed it to last X long,like the entire life span of the car, but it costs more to achieve, but it would have been cheaper to just design it for less life and if/when it did break you'd just replace the part and it's cheaper overall.
I think it roughly amounts to “thinking through the implications of the implications”.
In my apartment we have ~2,500 books (so says LibraryThing). They take a wall 4m long of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in the living room, another 2 bookcases (double-width Billy), and another wall in the office (2m floor-to-ceiling). They also overflow to an office at the University and various stacks around the apartment.

The thing is though... we've read nearly all of them between us. We probably have only 2% unread at any given time. That's still a good stack of options to read next, still a whole shelf we haven't touched.

For time, books feel denser and richer compared to TV and most films. Only music and poetry feels as dense and rich.

I wish I could say that there was order to our shelves and there was once several orders! Some parts are by publisher, some parts by theme! Mostly we buy books and add them where there is space.

As to wishlists, we purchase when we see things we want and we're not using wishlists. The things we order tend to be obscure and rare - not valuable, just obscure - so if we don't get them at the time we might not see them again. There's something nice about this... books arrive constantly, and that means there's always something exciting to discover.

Edit: https://www.librarything.com/ is invaluable. We initially got it to help us catalogue things for insurance purposes, but it proves extremely helpful at preventing us from buying the same book twice. Most recently published books only need their barcode scanned or ISBN entered, only the old ones need manual entry.
> why not allow the ISA to query[1] if an L1 access is currently viable (enabling dispatch to different static schedules)?

For tight loops loading one or two things per iteration, maybe it'd be worth it; most other things, though, will result in code size explosion (as you'd have two paths for each load, potentially multiplying on multiple consecutive loads), and, depending on the implementation, wouldn't play well with branch prediction (though it'd be very fun to just let branch mispredictions happen, given that the check may be stale by the load time anyway).

And not everyone has given up on trying to defeat cache side-channels either - spectre didn't magically erase all reasons to want to be able to speculate loads without slow context switches.
You are on the right track. Second order means second derivative. So, if we are predicting future positions, using acceleration in addition to velocity will always be better. Second order is much more difficult because in more than one dimension you have to consider how every pair interacts.
TLDR: take a break with no job if possible... a few months to a year ideally. Feel free to work on your own ideas or hobbies or something that gives you a feeling of reward or satisfaction.

> Anyone managed to move from front-end to another role

Changing roles isn't necessarily the answer. It could be, depending on how different the new role is; but for example going from frontend to backend dev is just a matter of fine details really (so it likely won't make you happier).

I hit the point you're at repeatedly over the last decade. And worse, I have fond memories of the glory days of the 90s when you could fax (haha) your resume to a recruiter, and within a week you had a job if you wished. Interviews were typically 1-2 hours in person, where you would talk to 1-3 people at the client site. Within a day or two, you had an initial offer or a rejection. I actually don't remember getting any rejections back then. Those glory days took a nosedive at the unfortunate intersection of the dotcom bust and the surge of offshore sourcing (and recruiting "firms" who replaced all their reasonably skilled recruiters with mindless drones who wouldn't even read your resume before calling you about a job).

But I digress...

At this moment I'm jobless and SO MUCH HAPPIER. I even have the enthusiasm and energy to start building some of my own projects. I don't have much savings, but I have enough to get me through a few months. Maybe one of the things I'm working on has the potential to generate some income, but that's not my focus. Almost my entire career has been focused on financial benefits (within reason... I still easily reject cube farm jobs in big banks), so now I'm trying an alternate approach. After all, if you're in poor mental and physical health while having a job and fat paycheck, it's not really living.

Not always. I live a little bit northeast of a city, and when I have to work south of the city, Google always gives me a route through town on lower speed roads with traffic lights. I usually take a different route with no stops and higher speeds and save about 10 minutes and a splash of fuel.
Many think integrated password managers create more vulnerabilities than they solve. https://lock.cmpxchg8b.com/passmgrs.html is a reasonable overview of this.

> So this article is bringing attention to a weakness in the browser’s built-in password managers, and suggesting a very viable and easy-to-adopt solution.

The advice tries to make it out like browser suppliers are doing this to lower security for some unknown reason, whereas actually their model is safer than what is recommended.

It is possible to argue against browser suppliers here, but you need to look at their arguments for doing it that way. This article doesn't do that.

> Tesla has 0.0 since they only have tested with a human driver + a driver assist that was marketed as FULL self driving.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you saying you can't achieve 9s of reliability if it's not driving without a person in the seat? I wouldn't want a car with only 90% (one 9) reliability for example driving without a person in the seat.

> The Tesla numbers look similar with similar expensive cars that include drive assist.

I'm not personally aware of any general system that doesn't rely on geolocking that can do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf37o-cKOMs If you know of an example, I'm open to looking at it. (In the above video if you want to look at any scene without the fast forward there's a link to the raw footage in the video description.)

> Tesla is not publishing the numbers when the human intervene or when the software gave up so your numbers are pulled out of Tesla PR or you mean something else(sorry for that but you are not clear).

I'm not using any Tesla numbers for my above comment. I'm going off of first hand experiences of non-employees who drive using the system.

To be clear, the system is not in a state that I would pay the price that is being charged for it yet, personally. But it is a very good system at the top level in the industry at the moment and the best system you can actually buy (i.e. not based on a rental/taxi system like Waymo).

'order' has many meanings in mathematics, and I'm not sure of the best metaphor that is actually called an order there, but when people talk colloquially about 'second order effects' etc. IME they mean something like a vertex v2 (doing something) in response to a change to v1, where there exists a vertex vj and edges (v1, vj) & (vj, v2) - and implicitly no edge (v1, v2). Higher 'orders' similarly extending the chain.

Or think chess - 'first order thinking' would make a move that merely escapes mate, or puts you in a position where another move immediately could be a great one; 'second order thinking' considers what the opponent will do from there (probably disallow the great move or threaten it back); etc.

Yeah I also have some anecdote from 20 years ago.

There was this guy that was locally known gangsta-like alcoholic - this whole thing taking place in small town, gangsters life style were scaled down to the size of the town. He lived in apartment in residential estates near one of my best friends (hence I know the story). One day, after some big party, he got so drunk that while getting home by foot, he fell asleep in some gutter (or rather trench full of grass).

Next day, after regaining consciousness, he found more than 30 ticks stuck all over his body. Being gangsta and all around tough he just removed those and failed to go to doctor in time.

Only after some serious symptoms started to appear he managed to get to hospital but it was to late - the damage was done. He lived about few months after this and died because his nervous system was so devastated that there was no way to for doctors to help him.
That's the benefit of mixed language projects.

You're skipping over the cost, which is in reliably and efficiently passing information back and forth between languages. It's generally some form of serialisation. Occasionally both languages get to run in the same address space which moves the complexity around a little.

There's also the human scale drawbacks of having predominantly C++ devs write JavaScript or vice versa when people should touch the far side of the language barrier.

Anyone with somewhat predictable load patterns who’s using the cloud and expects to stay around for a few years should switch to “reserved instances” to reduce costs. It’d be a very poorly thought out implementation that doesn’t consider reserved instances.

Another fun one from a different trip. We were in a French town that had an underground parking garage. We enter the garage, it's packed with cars and we think 'great, we'll be here a few days and won't need the car'. A few days later is a Sunday and we head over to the garage to leave and...the whole garage is sealed up like a bomb shelter. It's closed on Sundays. I had never seen this in a US garage b/c normally if they closed at all they would just open the gates.

After walking around a bit, I was able to translate enough French to find a call button. 20 minutes later I managed to get an attendant to come let me out. The garage looked like something from a zombie movie - pitch black dark and 1 or 2 cars left.

I always check the times on parking garages now.

> to a sufficient degree into the future

Depends on the application. If you need the lights to go down at sundown a constant is good for thousands of years, a rate correction is good for a fair bit longer.

> Currently it looks like we won't have any leap second for the foreseeable future

In fact, bootstrapping from recent residuals suggests there is a reasonable chance of a positive leapsecond in the next several years. Each ordinary leapsecond causes substantial disruptions and system outages, and there has never been a positive leap second so it's reasonable to expect substantial issues.

> Whereas beyond 10s or so you might not even be able to see the target within your scope anymore

If your pointing accuracy is 10% of your FOV your life will be hard, why make it harder by not using an accurate UT1? Besides, for accurate pointing you'll want the pole offsets that are also in circular b. Once you're using an accurate source of the UT1 offset, the leapseconds at best do nthing.

> Not sure about the points about the complications of calculating the true UT1

To calculate UT1 using circular b or USNO observations you need to have an accurate UTC. Leapseconds make UTC failure prone. It's extremely easy to miss leap seconds, gain false leaps seconds, or (as of recently) accidentally end up with leap-smeared time.

Ask HN: Smart” Heat Pumps?
I'm curious, are there any smart AC / heat pump units for residential in the USA?

Looking at a Trane but I'm curious - are there any smart heat pumps?

Not talking a Nest thermostat or Ecobee. We keep the house at 70F all the time (in Florida) so don't care for the constant heat / cool during random hours of the day.

The big news headlines like wannacry were fully automated. But one-trick ponies. If you had patched you were fine. What made it a problem was that so many hadn't.

Related to writing scripts on Mac OS, I highly recommend rumps (https://rumps.readthedocs.io) to show anything you want in your status bar.

For example, I have one script that uses rumps to show how many outdated homebrew packages I have (and also as a convenient shortcut to update those packages in the dropdown menu). I also have a second script that uses it to show a counter for open pull requests that I need to review (with links to individual PRs in the dropdown menu). It's great!

The Epsilon Method
Seems to me if you expected a specific item within a specific tolerance and received said item outside of that tolerance, you could then negotiate a lesser payment calculated by being a percentage equal to the difference in tolerance. So ultimately it would equal out by over engineering/over speccing the item to end up with a product within tolerance. Of course if they protest the price difference, well then...

As someone who uses mainly python, rust and js, as well as C on embedded. I recently came around reading The C Programming Language (2nd edition) and was surprised how many of the language decisions I found extremely horrible. I mean all the examples in the first chapter teach you how to do stuff with strings that will fail the moment you throw Unicode into the mix, and no programmer should use ASCII for any but the lowest level stuff today.

I see this as a relic from older, nobler times and the language is interesting to learn about especially since it is the base of a lot of things, but if C was a sport it would be free climbing, or maybe something even more dangerous that requires a lot of skill that I can't think of now.

In Rust there are many string types (e.g. OsString, CString, String, PathBuf, ..) because the truth is that you need to know the rules that the string your program reads or creates must adhere to, if there is no type system that will enforce those rules to you. The way a properly written program has to deal with strings in the different parts of systems could be explored in an entire programming career.

Similarily Rust tends to make you handle all the errors that could occure with file I/O. This can feel complicated, but it could also serve as a reminder on how many potential errors we don't handle in other programming languages (or at least as a big questionmark how these other languages handle or don't handle these errors). Surely you could also ignore those error cases in Rust and just have your program crash, but then it was your active decision and not something that hit you out of nowhere like a bag of bricks, with the only realistic option of ignoring it and hoping it will not happen again.

If anything something like Rust gave me a much better understanding why actual good C programs are akin to art. Freeclimbing in a minefield and all that.
