> For example, agriculture.

I suppose this is not only an example, but probably the most critical type of productivity when determining how big of a population our planet can sustain.

> So have we really achieved long-term (> 100 year) productivity improvements in agriculture?

If you look back over the past 100 years we definitely have. If you look back over the past 60 years, yields of modern agriculture have tripled. Looking forward will always be speculation.

> For example, agriculture. Highly dependent on rapidly disappearing resources Like i.e. dirt.

I'm not disputing that such effects are going on in many places. Still, for productivity not only slow down but to actually go down, you need pretty strong effect sizes for such issues.

> Water. See "US Drought Monitor".

This is a factor that is harder to compensate for by fertilizers and modifications to farming practices. And some locations (possibly the US and even more likely, China) may be hit by this. As temperatures rise, more water is likely to evaporate from the world's oceans, though, and it has to come down somewhere. But that may be elsewhere, such as Central Asia, Canada or the Middle East.

I think part of the issue is how willing we are to increase our energy production. In dry, warm climates, solar is likelty to become quite cheap eventually. In other locations, I believe nuclear is our best bet (though wind is maybe more popular with many). If we're able to produce enough energy, we can produce most of the phosphates, nitrates and even de-salinated water that is needed for farming.

Personally I have relatively high faith that human ingenuity will provide technological answers to most such problems caused by our environment. I have way greater fear that war or similar conflicts may cause us to exterminate each other, or even that some day, AI will take over completely.
I doubt any amount of benefits and socialism can solve this problem. Look into the degree of poverty in EU.

People don’t have the same abilities. That’s fundamental. There are lots of people who simply struggle to operate in today’s economy, even in an otherwise fully egalitarian society.

What can you do?!

People come from far east and work in US. The system doesn’t seem to disadvantage them.

I like the idea, but this should be an api that can be accessed from any language.
DOB, name and address are typically enough details to commit severe identity theft, at least back in 2017 when it happened to me in Australia. Someone stole a letter from my insurer in my mailbox and used my name and address to impersonate me and obtain my DOB and email from my insurer. They then used these details to hijack my phone number (SIM porting) and obtain my bank account details. They ended up hacking into my online banking (because my bank used and still uses SMS based OTP, not a device key - St George Bank, I’m looking at you) and tried withdrawing thousands of dollars in cash from an atm using cardless withdrawal. They didn’t succeed because I was overseas at the time and the bank fraud monitoring picked it up on the spot and froze all my cards. Very scary indeed and firm proof that you can do a lot of damage with very little information about someone, at least in Australia.
I'd rather have Team that Slack or Discord.

After my company switched to Teams, my IT department became much more productive because the amount of needless interaction with other people decreased.

And we were not affected by that shit, since we share the same office anyways. Who needs a messenger when you can shout ;)
Tl;dr. They mounted a strong yet restrained immune response when exposed without it running away to cytokine storm. This might be due to previous exposure to something that “looked the same” to the immune system, advantageous genetic variation, limited viral load or just luck. These people are the raw material for creating broad-spectrum antivirals, if their genetics could be understood and the relevant antibodies (or other mechanisms) cloned.

I'll go against the question since I believe this is about elevating one's thinking and not merely about books.

Just like learning the math theorem is practically worthless without doing the exercises (at least to me), I'll advise to just do something in the domain you want to be elevated in. Of course this doesn't apply to things you can't hope to do: for example History's lessons; Invading another country all alone is quite resource-consuming.

Having your outputs to show the outside world is quite gratifying! You're not a pure function.

Self Help:

* Craft your own time management system (and write and sell a book about it)

* Create a blog in which you ponder about life

* Try to gracefully start a conversation with random people. You never know what you can learn

* Begin a new sport, like climbing

Tech:

* Write a silly website in Typescript + React, or WebGL

* Craft a new small language of your own

* Do an HTML parser in APL

* Port a concurrent library to Zig

* Like pg says, identify things you think are the future and do things with them

Misc:

* Try to decipher a latin text just from how the words resemble the words you know

Basically just give some ressource to that weird side project idea that keeps popping up in your head.

Do the mistakes first, and only then learn the theory of what can work. And iterate back and forth between exercises and theory. Let the exercises guide what you want to learn. It'll help you deal with failures and lack of results and might even give you the freedom of being weird.

As someone who uses python in their day job, I agree with this.

When you spend more time io bound, it’s not an issue. If your python code is choking on cpu time, a lower level language is probably more appropriate.

> The thing with Steam is - at no point in history it felt like the company is just milking its users.

As someone who purchased Half-Life in a physical box in a retail store before Steam so much as existed and was happy downloading update patches and using a server browser until Steam forced me to create a Steam account and become a Steam user to continue playing Half-Life online, this is true. I feel more exploited than milked.
People already use Amazon for deliveries before autonomous driving. That substitution already happened, and switching to autonomous vehicles for last mile deliver isn’t going to change the consumer’s driving habits.

Again, either you use Uber eats or, like me, you don’t. I don’t see how the mechanism of deliver changes that decision, for the customer?
Hyperion cantos - sci-fi, basically 7 very different stories tied together explaining why things are happening and how characters are tied together. 1st book is excellent, 2nd is a must to understand how things continue. I liked all 4, I think it lost the steam slightly around 3rd book but all are excellent experience.
(I'm a moderator here.) I appreciate the comments you've posted, up to a point, but using HN primarily for religious comments is not allowed on HN. It's guaranteed to lead to religious flamewar, which we definitely don't want on HN. We want thoughtful, curious conversation on a variety of intellectually interesting topics.

Intellectual curiosity can certainly overlap with comments drawn from religious experience, knowledge of religious history and scholarship, etc. All that is great—from time to time. What's not ok are religion-driven polemics or using the site primarily for religious comments.

If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.

Amazingly I experienced a large MS shop choose Zoom over teams purely because they caught the MS salesperson lying about the Teams price.
Subpar at what it's supposed to do, extra features don't add a whole lot, mostly made and configured for managers instead of developers. Largely the same reasons people dislike Teams. Has even worse integrations with the Atlassian stack than Teams with the MS stack.

JIRA, just like Teams, is slow, bloated, still won't fix basic issues and largely exists to appease managers. You have to actively work to make JIRA a pleasant experience. It's too easy for most management to make it hell.

Is it just me or is the speed of light slow? /s

It was completely unregulated when he launched it and he was the proponent of regulation but that didn't come for another 10 years+ after he rolled it out and open sourced the idea.

If you can't see the parallels then meh, it's pretty much the same process any new financial network goes through.

You're entire argument is one big strawman, people will figure out over time how to regulate it, ie custodian solutions are just the beginning, you know all of these funds can be held in escrow.

Your lack of vision is a you problem, not the network's.

"An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.

I’ll take your word for it but I highly doubt implementing again a LISP in Scheme would blow my mind.

Also I didn’t mean it in an overly demeaning fashion, I unironically find a lot of leetcode problems cooler than they are getting credit for.
I quickly went through the docs but didn't see a reference to be able to dynamically schedule and unschedule tasks at runtime. I've used APScheduler in the past and it does support this.

The use case is wanting to have let's say a web form where a user can say they want to run a task at XYZ interval and then they can schedule and unschedule it on demand. APScheduler will pick these up without needing to restart anything.

Does your library support that? If not, is that a planned feature?
Sky paused adverts recently out of respect to Brenda's passing (though they didn't note that on the static logo). Was that what you saw?

>> "The majority of uses of Pepe the Frog have been, and continue to be, non-bigoted."

>> "However, because so many Pepe the Frog memes are not bigoted in nature, it is important to examine use of the meme only in context. The mere fact of posting a Pepe meme does not mean that someone is racist or white supremacist."

That's a much more balanced take than I would have.

How does Rocketry saves execution state? Like, if it crashes and goes back up again, does it know which tasks were executed and which ones were not?
Because we can't get hold of dry ice to do a proper job of it? This seems to vary by state.

Providing help to commercial consumers is essential, look at the energy usage last year and base it on that.

However just paying the suppliers directly gives no incentive to invest in increasing energy efficiency - if I'm paying 70p a unit and can spend £1000 to save 3000 units it makes sense. If the government is capping it at 20p a unit then why would I bother paying to increase the efficiency? That means more needless energy use

It is also common in science to solve problems by producing unmaintainable write-only code and managing dependencies by bundling up the entire universe into one enormous distribution.

This approach works for science, not for software engineering in general. Hence, we do not adopt it.

The problem of a lack of understanding of the domain exists in all domains, but many scientists are particularly inept at expressing their precious ideas in terms that an ordinary person could hope to comprehend.
> Well, a fighter jet, too, is a product of the mind.

I'd say there's a difference between having a physical, tangible fighter jet in front of you, with all the connections between its molecules in a configuration that allows it to fly, and having "the property of being a fighter jet" in front of you.

> Tell this to triangular molecules.

Do they have "a triangular" in them? https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/real-2

I personally find that the more I have to use JIRA, and the more magical ephemeral rules that are set up in it to take actions in response to my actions with it, the more terrible it is to use.

I've worked on teams where I just threw info into a card, and it was acceptable to use, and I've worked on teams where commits had to have a JIRA tag associated or the commit got rejected, including in instances where bitbucket was timing out it's call to JIRA. In the latter cases, I prayed for Atlassian's swift destruction, but alas, was never answered.

So like a lot of tools, it's how you use it, mostly. That said, as far as universal problems, cloning cards has to be one of the worst UX experiences I run into on the job with any frequency that I can't just fix myself. If the web app needs to await a successful or failed clone of a record (or series of them), I'm not sure why they can't implement a modal or a spinner or other component to tell the user that something is happening, then either navigate the user to the new card, or ask the user if they would like to view the new card. Shooting off a process that you say could take an indeterminate amount of time then dropping eventually a completion notification and link in the bottom left panel is just about the least helpful way to communicate that information.

edit: unrelated meta comment, but it's funny as hell to me that this question got 4 replies in the few minutes it took me to write this reply, all within 10 minutes of the original. People are really out here just waiting for a chance to complain about JIRA. Myself included it seems. Makes me feel a bit bad, hate to pile on to popular sentiment when others have already commented in a similar direction.
If you want an API (or UI), just clone this and modify it as you need: https://github.com/Miksus/rocketry-with-fastapi. I also wrote an article to Medium how it works with FastAPI: https://itnext.io/scheduler-with-an-api-rocketry-fastapi-a0f...

Rocketry plays quite nicely with FastAPI.

I think by this they mean the policy of the Linux kernel "never breaking user land".

Libc is seen as user land by the Linux kernel, it provides an API for programs to abstract them away from syscalls. Libc dies syscalls for programs.

By "never breaking userland", Linux promises to never break libc by never changing syscall numbers/args/types - new syscalls are added in ways that don't break older syscalls.

Other platforms don't make this explicit promise and reserve the right to shuffle syscalls around, change them, remove them, etc as desired - making maintaining a libc for them a pain in the ass, and programmers are told to only use the libc as syscalls don't come with guarantees.

You can (and I often do) program on windows using only syscalls, but your program tends to need rebuilding across major versions as the syscall interface isn't stable.

Fuck me typing that on a phone was painful.

considering how massive & varied the MS ecosystem is, kinda surprised it works as well as it does tbh.
for most biz/big orgs (MS bread-n-butter), good-enough pays the bills; non-functional requirements (speed, cool-factor etc) aren't much of a priority.

It's easier for IT deps at mid-to-big corps already invested in MS, wins on price, and connects well with MS infra (office, security/auditing etc).

With MS moving to Edge browser, their strategy looks interesting, and I think they will be solving much of their tech headaches (Teams, office etc) by shifting to mainly Web Technologies (even web3).

Do you have a particular billionaire investor in mind? Because the most obvious ones (Buffett, Icahn, Soros, Griffin) explicitly use investment strategies that don’t require knowing where the broader markets are going to go.

Ray Dalio got famous and rich specifically designing investment strategies because he didn’t believe in a crystal ball.

I’m genuinely curious which investors you are talking about where choosing where market indexes will be is their investment thesis.

Well it's a mixed bag. The dusk/dawn stuff would just be like nice-to-have. I would like to be reminded 30m before dawn to for example walk the dog while the sun is _just_ still out.
The other for example could be used for handling "social" events. Like some games only happen during evening hours where i check more often than in off-hours but if any game happens whenever i would like to handle it after the regular game time.

Now, nothing of that would be too hard to implement myself but these task runners pop up every so often and i would like to leverage other peoples work.
Home assistant just feels a bit big for this. Do note that i currently do neither of those but i always try to evaluate these use-cases for these task-runners.

I came up with a better way to communicate with users
f you like me and have created a website or an app that had some active users (I had 30 lol ) then you’ve probably realized that there is no good way to talk to them.

Emails have a low response rate and can be just lost in spam. Feedback forms are hard to implement and are not very flexible. Creating communities in discord/slack takes time.

So as a self-respected developer I decided to solve this problem. I thought why not bring smth like discord server directly to a website/app? Something that is very easy to integrate into your product which will automatically connect your entire user base. And this something will allow you to send instant messages/polls/feedback forms to users notifying them when they’re online using your product. And users can interact with these messages by voting/commenting or submitting forms.

So I present you Taku: https://taku-app.com.

What do you guys think? Does this problem exists and does my solution helps with that?
