Here's a place to start...

In your next few sessions of free time, open up a text file or physical notepad, and proceed to just write down all the things you are interested in doing in life. Don't worry much about the structure or how it's done. Be creative. It can be lists, paragraphs, sentences, mixtures, and so on. Make side comments, draw pictures if you're feeling that. Just get it all out in brain dumps over several sessions. Don't limit yourself to "side projects". Include things like exercise, recreation, learning, social desires.

This brain dump will allow you to empty and relax your mind.

Next, begin to think about organizing with an aim toward finding the next 1-3 things that you want to prioritize. How you prioritize is up to you, and very personal. Accept that choosing to prioritize thing 1, will mean deferring things 2, 3, and 100.

Finally, in the next session, switch from organizing to doing. Just do a small task or activity related to the top priority.

Do as many implementation sessions as you like. When you start feeling scattered and anxious, go back and spend some time organizing.

----

The big picture...

As a part of this process, begin to recognize how this organization time is legitimate work. It's the prep work, the executive function time, which you do before you start implementing. It's a never ending loop of organizing and doing.

Additionally, recognize the brain dump and wherever you keep all these notes, is your external reference store. You don't have to walk around with all the ideas and goals in your head now. You can relax and focus on the top few priorities, and return to your written notes as needed.

If you want a more structured variation of this, read and try the Getting Things Done book and techniques.
What does it mean to practice Buddhism if not a monk? Can you point to specific activities (as opposed to general ethical principles) that must be performed by a layman? Buddhism did develop such things but later than the period under discussion and outside India.

Shaivism etc. (and for that matter Jainism) had clear and specific codes of conduct for grhastha disciples.

Sutras continued to be produced long after Shakyamunis lifetime and some anachronistically ascribe later ideas to early figures.
I'm not talking about criticism -- that is theoretically enshrined in the Constitution and for very good reason.

I'm talking threats of violence with a goal of taking power. One of many reports on this: https://www.npr.org/2022/08/21/1118669896/top-election-offic...

What's interesting about it? If that occurs past the warranty period, you have to pay out of pocket to replace the defective part like any other.

The (hypothetical) fact that the defective part provides no functionality but could disable the bike is just a bad design. There's plenty of examples of bad design in motorcycles.

One small immersion break for me was that the triangles next to comments are upvote buttons; I expected them to toggle the threads open and closed (even though they're pointing upwards - a toggle would point to the right in the open state). I'm not sure what an idiomatic upvote button would look like. A checkbox?
If I had a gun to the head of everyone in town, and everyone in town mysteriously agrees to sell their labor for free, does that mean that cost of labor is fair?

This is a weird response, but also validates the points raised in the article. You say you don't care what young people think, but then immediately attempt to validate your generation to them.

Personally I think the thing old people have (information, experience) is not that valuable anymore. We are deluged with information and your grandpas trick for performing some household task is irrelevant. Your grandparents/parents best life advice is going to sound bland when we have instant access to advice from the top minds in every field. Worried about your life having no meaning?

Thanks for sharing this. As you said, there is a very clear analogy to software factoring. Separating the definition of terms from the clauses relating them is very similar to factoring software logic out into functions.

In a way, bad legalese is even worse: at least hard-to-read code can be still be effortlessly and quickly executed by a computer. Every "execution" of your example contract will give someone a headache.

>as my son is learning non-cursive first.

Is non-cursive different than print? Didn't everyone learn to print before learning cursive?
> berated

Sure, there are rotten parents. No excuse for them. But I'm talking about a general disrespect teachers have for parents. This is manifested in not wanting any input from parents, not wanting to hear from them at PTA meetings, not consulting parents in any way shape or form about the curriculum. Teachers do want parents to volunteer, but only at their direction. No collaboration.

As for pencils and paper, pencils cost a few cents each, and the playgrounds of the schools I attended were littered with pencils. Paper is so cheap people throw away reams of unused paper all the time.

Me, I prefer the more expensive $5 gel pens, but they'll last me a couple months each.

P.S. My dad taught at university for years. He grew up in the Depression, and his thrifty ways followed for the rest of his life. He'd bring home used paper - such as exams printed on one side of the sheet, and blank the other side. His notes and drafts and accounts and tax records were done on the blank side. I have many boxes filled with those papers. When they were inadequate, he'd buy boxes of newsprint, the cheapest paper possible, and write from edge to edge in tiny script. Nobody could get more out of a piece of paper than my dad :-)
The little hammer definitely fixes. It does it in the same way as water cut the grand canyon. The beauty is that it works over time.

Now as for how to get the other devs on board, I agree with you that you can't just barge in and tell them everything they are doing is wrong etc. I never said to do that and I'm replying to a specific comment in the thread not the original Ask HN.

I.e. when I write about what I've done in the past, I got buyin from my boss and my colleagues on what I was going to do. But I didn't just sit there and kept doing what they had done over the past years. I changed lots of other little things too in the same manner.

So if we do want to talk about the original Ask HN and how to get the existing employees not to hate you, you can start by letting them tell you about what they think the problems are. What are their pain points. They might just not know what to do about them but actually see them as problems too. Maybe they've tried things already but failed or got shot down by others in the company. Maybe they did try to introduce version control but their non tech boss shot them down.

Of course it may not work out. Some people really are just stupid and won't listen even if you try to help them and make them part of the solution.
Technical programming language books can be, and are great if commit to typing out every single line of code presented!
Points 1 and 2 are not how to write, but rather how to use lies and rhetorical trickery to showcase your intellectual plumage and profit from deception.

When I was working at a transcription company I had to build my test kit with spare parts from the Bin. The Bin was full of old discard parts, early Celeron and Pentium machines with PS/2 KB/M.

Everything had to compile and run on that machine before I could ship builds to any of our transcriptionists. Our website needed to be able to load on it and so on.

What you say rings true, sound engineers are also mixing audio at 24 bits uncompressed, and while DVDs and Blu-Ray have the ability to play it back, I doubt the streaming services are sending it in full bit depth and also that most people buy hardware capable of decoding it if they did.

Let's assume that's true (that some "religious" names are more religious than others). All that really tells you is that such a such person was given the name by a religious parent, or from a culture where religiosity is the norm. It doesn't tell you about that person's own religiosity, whether they had to struggle with it growing up, how much of it they wanted to keep when they started school or work in the West, how their views might have changed after several years/decades of that, how much they hated their parents for naming them Mohammed...

Or how well they work with people from different religious backgrounds because they know what it's like to be discriminated against at a glance, or how they avoid religious political and religious discussions at work because it triggers WASP-y types when all they really want to do is escape oppression in their home country and feed their family without bothering anyone, or maybe, you know, they're just reasonable enough to understand that religions are deeply personal and subjective things that no two large groups of people will ever entirely agree on anywhere, and so choose to show tolerance even where there are disagreements.

For sure there are evil wife-beating, woman-hating Muslims out there... just the same way there are evil wife-beating, woman-hating Christians out there. And maybe some sects of Islam haven't had the same humanist interventions that modern western Protestants have seen, the same way there are conservative Jewish or Buddhist sects just the same as there are gay-loving, trans-affirming Catholic sects. The point is, you can't really know all of that just by looking at someone's given name. They didn't earn it, they didn't choose it, they may or may not have lived up their parents' expectations of it.

It's one thing if you look at their CV and see they went to a theology school and all their previous employers were religious institutions. It's another thing to just assume ahead of time that this person is different -- and not only different, but inherently incompatible (even unredeemable) -- just because of their name. Give people a chance, man...
It says you can use the library on your website if the website is open source. When does a WordPress website qualify as open source, or not? Or is the talk about gplv3 just trying to scare people because it's unclear to them what this requirement actually means?

Out of curiosity, what was the transition from field work to teaching like? I always hated school (the school bits, I liked the socializing) and thought I might like to be a teacher one day for that reason. I have no idea what transitioning would even look like though, it's entirely foreign to me.
Fair enough points by Author but not very helpful for specifics.

Dunno, I feel some form of cursive writing is just a natural human thing to do.

I was all for "maximum personal cyborg-ness" at an earlier stage of life, but I now feel the urge to be away from the screen+keyboard for some time, and pen-and-paper is a good fit for that, and ... cursive writing is just a good way of _using_ pen and paper.

As long as you are physically embodied, you're going to feel some satisfaction in "doing things with your hands" (i.e. other than typing or pointing).

Making marks on a writing medium in a quick, _flowing_ way, using a writing instrument ... is a form of communication, or even a form of expression, that you can do quite well if you try a little bit.

I agree Pine was a cute little program, and it served many people well at the time.

But the most important functions for me today in an email client are 1. fast search and 2. auto-complete of contacts and Pine/Alpine was lacking there.

(Gmail has great search but its UX overall is lacking - I find it confusing in many ways and it suppresses important information (e.g. headers, sometimes even an e-mail's subject line). It would be nice to have a non-cloud email client with such a fast search.)

It's not really clear that this makes the whole bike more expensive. Most of the expense for features like this is in the design and engineering, not raw parts costs.

Shipping all the bikes with the same hardware but enabling options in software might actually make the base bike less expensive than if they had to design and manufacture two different physical configurations.
Probably because it’s mostly if statements, neat functions and string translation.

Yes, but not exclusively. The notion of 'casually leafing through a book and reading something that catches my eye' has no satisfactory analog for me in ebooks. Annotations are still kinda sucky on ebooks compared to marginalia, post-it notes amd what not. having a non electronic medium when i spend 50+ hours a week gawping at a screen is a nice mental break.

dont get me wrong, im not a luddite. i do use ebooks, and they gave some killer features, but I prefer paper. Heres another slightly perverse example: search in ebook is too good. it takes you straight to the thing being requested. in doing so, it robs me of the experience of getting familiar with the totality of the text that i get by leafing through (think of it as slightly better linear search). over time, that leafing activity gives me a really strong mental map of the whole work that i just dont get with ebooks. ymmv.
On macOS, Tot [0] is a great app that replaces the "working memory dot txt" format that Cal Newport likes. The upshot with Tot is that you get a fixed number of pages, and they're synchronized via iCloud. So, you can add to your "working memory text file" from anywhere you have an iOS or macOS device, and it's simple enough that it can't grow into a more complex system.

Climate Disruption Is Now Locked In. The Next Moves Will Be Crucial (2020)
It didn't specify which websites, now I'm curious.
There are plenty of electronic copies these days.
No, you can write cursive faster than printing--that's why it was invented. It's just that it takes enough practice doing it that it becomes muscle memory--it's not something that can be done well as a conscious act because the reaction cycle is too short.

It's like driving stick, you can't consciously operate the clutch and gearshift smoothly. When you're trying to start the system is very sensitive to the amount of pressure, balancing it for maximum power transfer without slowing the engine too much requires a feedback loop shorter than you can consciously do. Shifting gears is a lot more forgiving but if you're going to simply take your foot off the clutch you must have a reasonable match between the RPM of each side--and even if you have both a speedometer and tachometer you can't actively be looking at them while you're trying to drive.
I could easily imagine people accusing each other of it in a hyper-communalist society, as well!
I was taught D’Nealian in elementary school. I took to it fine, but within a few years decided it looked dumb, and dropped the tails and loops that looked out of place compared to the letter forms I saw in print. I learned cursive easily in third grade, and have used it in most handwriting ever since. Looking back, I have wondered whether D’Nealian had a positive effect there or not.

It’s pretty weird reading all these other comments about how useless cursive is. Certainly I think it’s more important to type well than to write in cursive. But while the vast majority of my life’s text output has been via computer, I still use handwriting in plenty of places—postcards, birthday cards, thank‐you notes, and so on. Am I just anachronistic
Golang Generics Empower Concise API: HTML Table Extraction Case Study
With 8 cores and (I would imagine) much more dev time put into optimization than your typical software, I don't see that as an issue really. Most home computer software is still single-threaded, so it makes sense a single core would need to be more powerful in that scenario.

Although, I guess maybe my argument is moot since your average home PC CPU is going to have at least 4, probably more, cores...
How much power does the switchable outlet itself draw?
See, other information that can't be recalled! Now that you said, I do kind maybe (memory is fuzzy) something about Middle English. It wasn't until being forced to read Canterbury Tales that I personally realized how Germanic English is. This is probably around the time I learned that Romantic languages had nothing to do with feelings and kisses.
> Does re-reading a book mean you understand things you didn't understand before?

Depends on the book, of course, but usually yes. Especially with books that deal with complex subjects such as mathematics and human interaction.

I remember re-reading (and re-writing) the whole Analysis textbook in college - the second pass through it gave me much more intuitive understanding of it. The third made me love analysis.

I also remember the book How To Win Friends And Influence People which explicitly recommends re-reading the book every now and then, allegedly to make us internalize the writing better.
I'm surprised you could infer what was possible just by looking at it. For me, the hints at how the rules worked weren't sufficient. I think lighting up the signs if the conditions are met and perhaps having something on the free move edges to make it clear they can be moved on freely would be super helpful.

I effectively solved the question of "wtf is this?" and the puzzle at the same time.

But after that I really wanted to play again!
The hyperinflation gallery
The bike comes with the hardware required to allow this functionality (a quick shifter needs the physical ability to reduce the torque to the gearbox to work), what a waste of the world's resources to kit out these machines with these electronics and technology, and then not allow people who have physically bought the device to make use of it.
Learning to use a slide rule gives one an intuitive feel for logarithms that is hard to get any other way. Slide rules are still faster than calculators for approximate calculations.

It also gives one an appreciation for calculators. It's like learning to use hand tools before machine tools. Hand tools impart a feel for the material being cut that pays off when using machine tools.
Late reply to say that when it comes to Toyota and EVs, it goes beyond disappointment: I don’t think about Toyota at all. Until you invoked their name, I had forgotten that they’re even working on an EV.
A LC interpreter (whether in LC or anything else) has to process the actual syntax with the lambdas and symbols (or integer literals, in the case of De Bruin).

If it is necessary to translate that representation to something else, the interpreter must do that itself.

You can take a LC expression and write some other LC expression which encodes it; but if that is done outside of LC in some meta-language, then that has to be counted as part of the interpreter's implementation, which means that it's not in LC any more.

Based on that, I think it's not actually possible without extensions to LC.

You need to be able to read the syntax with the lambda symbols and names (or integer constants in the case of De Bruin), so I/O is needed. Or else, if that is unacceptable, you need to be able to embed the representation of the code as a quoted literal.

Without I/O or quoting, you have no way to express the test cases.
What are you doing with your old emails? Do you delete them? Or have you found a method to archive them that produces few folders with few emails in each and that works consistently over the decades?
