Turandot is an opera by Puccini; the word is of Persian origin, and the Wikipedia article I linked extensively discusses how Puccini intended for the title to be pronounced in Italian.

It is currently limited to one song, but there is already an issue on github planning multiple song selection. Just haven't gotten around to it yet.

As for over-abundance of results, sorting by name length in ascending order should help at least somewhat, but the search approach is an open problem.

As an aside: on large screens there is also an option to choose a specific song by dragging it from the Spotify client.

You can actually! Just move to N.Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia. It is pretty quiet there.
Terrible argument. You're talking about marginal behavior, not average. Sure, there's a % that will do that, but that applies to everything.
I assume that some percentage of these employees are developers, engineering managers, etc... I assume that a large percentage of those have high salaries and are based in the Bay Area.

I wonder if they will all be absorbed into the local job market, or if some will have to take lower salaries at remote companies, and perhaps even move to more affordable places?
Am hoping some investor who may be lurking here might want to participate in our seed round. We have gotten some offers last week of 1.5-2m for 15% but terms not founder friendly.

How about some books about retro computing. Simple computing might be the only thing you'll have after a solar/EMP event.

"The Art of Electronics"
"ARRL Handbook"
"Digital Logic and Computer Design"
but you might want these in paper format.

The various PDF specs, so that you can construct a PDF viewer if you have to for your other books.

A simpler Linux (source/(cross)compiler/tool-chain) everything that you need to bootstrap a new system. All your favorite apps + source like a PDF/Epub viewers.

Maybe CPU gets destroyed and all you got left are bulkier Micro-controllers.

Programming languages code/specs for things like ASM/Forth/C/Lisp/Scheme (Python, please let Python survive ;)

I would opt for a curated list of books, quality over quantity.

Survival + Prepper books could also come in handy.

There is also other organizations that compile lists, but I cannot quickly find them now.

Hope you find it helpful.

I run into the same thing with projects of many kinds.

If I want to do something like move a light fixture in my house, it seems like it should be fairly straightforward. Choose where I want the new one to be. Create hole. Move wires. Connect fixture.

But it only seems that simple because I'm ignorant. I have to install a new junction box, which requires having a joist nearby, or adding a cross-support between two. Am I going to need to move any insulation? What insulation do I even have? Is the existing wiring long enough, or in the right place, or am I going to have to replace it? And I need to pin the wires down every so often? What? How? Where? Where do I even find that info? And never mind patching the hole I'm leaving behind. It's not just eyeballing a drywall patch. I can't match the old texture of the ceiling, even if I thought it was plain. My patch is really noticeable. And on and on.

Unknown unknowns take what I thought was going to be a little afternoon project and turn it into asking all my friends for recommendations of people who aren't booked 6 months out and are willing to handle a tiny little project cleaning up after my ignorance.

Taking on projects before I even know what I don't know has gotten me into more trouble than just about anything else.

I've never nearly burnt my house down taking notes from a book and hiring a professional to do the actual work!

Solastalgia (/ˌsɒləˈstældʒə/) is a neologism, formed by the combination of the Latin words sōlācium (comfort) and the Greek root -algia (pain, suffering, grief), that describes a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change. It is best described as the lived experience of negatively perceived environmental change

It may be a case of "no true scotman", but in my opinion, given that we are in 2022 and not 1522, any society doing this kind of thing does not deserve to be called "civilized", and it should be a shame to consider them an ally and business partner.

Tramp in all honesty was not that seamless, its just that these are great editors, but they were not invented in the context of the overall changes in how programming is done today. To me the biggest plus of emacs/vim is they make it easy to navigate and manipulate text, that's pretty much it.

Every other feature seems to be an after thought therefore is not subject to the same experience the modern editors have. They also have a huge learning and set up time, and can send you down configuration hell for lots of things.
“They’re doing a 15-year follow, and I would expect to see a significant reduction in cancer mortality in the long term,” Dominitz said. “Time will tell.”

Nice idea. I'd recommend adding some kind of visual indicator when it's in a loading state - at first I thought it wasn't working but it was just slow to respond (probably because it's close to the top of HN right now...)
Bernanke maybe wrote some nice papers. I remember him being called the "scholar of the Great Depression" but when it was time to use his research and to recognize the 2008 bubble he completely failed. I still remember him proclaiming how everything was just fine while things were already falling apart. And his response was to shovel even more money at the banks and wealthy people while they let regular people lose their houses left and right. And let's see how the current credit bubble that got started by Bernanke will end.

In my view Bernanke was a total failure when it counted. This is almost as bad as giving the Peace Prize to Obama.
You can fix that with some static analysis/IDE tooling help, giving an error when the implementation makes use of stuff not declared on the concept requirements.

However I do agree it is a kludge.

I'm also in the 24fps hater camp.

It's not jitter that bothers me, it's the stop motion effect. It's especially bad with action sequences that have a lot of closeup shots.

This is basically every movie with any sort of action in the past decade or so. If you do closeup shots in on some fast action in 24fps you don't have to worry one bit about choreography, since it'll just be a choppy blurry mess and nobody can tell what's going on anyway.
For that I regularly use this free service https://www.chosic.com/spotify-playlist-search-tool-by-song-...
I would argue that Marx’s process-based description of the dynamics of Capitalism have proven to be much more valid (e.g., coercive law of competition, declining rate of profit) than those of neoliberal economics. Are either a science? No. They are schools of thought within political economy. Are they useful? Well, I’ve just stated my opinion above. YMMV.
I'm responding to this:

> Why is it that capitalists can't seem to understand supply/demand curves when it comes to wages?

If they were 'capitalists' they would use the same supply/demand curve logic to labor costs as everything else.

This is fascinating and timely for me. I've recently been on some deadlines that have more or less required 36-hour shifts on my part (yes, my choice; yes, entirely unsustainable and likely unhealthy) and have experienced what the author describes.

There's been a real liberating feeling of throwing off the culturally imposed standard working, wake, and sleeping hours and going forward with a sense of: "alright, we're awake, we know what we need to do, and we're going to keep trying to do that until we can't"

The nights in the city are sublimely quiet in a way I haven't appreciated in the past. Living on a busy road, I now could practically set my clocks to the rumble of the first trucks barrelling by in the five o'clock hour.

There is an obvious, from within the state of tired-mind, connection to moderate drunkenness. Inhibitions are lowered, and in my experience it lowers the barrier to action that I've tangled with for most of my adult life. It's an interesting variant of "fuck it, it's gotta get done, let's do it" — not just the work you intend, but for the chores and other tediums previously put off.

Anyway, there's a substantial cognitive deficit after 30 hours. Time for a nap.

> I read it that the invite doesn get you differnces, the colonoscopy itsrlf does.

No, it doesn’t, because the two groups of people you’re comparing aren’t actually similar, and therefore any outcome difference can’t be tied to the intervention.

The difference in outcome between those two groups may merely be that the people who go through with the colonoscopy (not fun) are also willing to go through with their doctor’s recommendations on, say, diet restrictions (also not as fun!) so are healthier and have better outcomes.
His works was useless in recognizing the 2008 bubble. He may have written some nice papers but when he was in charge he failed completely. He is simply not a good economist and his work didn't help with making good decisions.
Back in the 1990's when fractals were a big thing and computers were not very powerful, the go-to tool for exploring fractals was a highly optimized integer engine called `fractint`.

In the final form it supported many types of fractals via a domain-specific language. You can still download the source from https://www.fractint.org/.

Porting this framework to your garden might be worthwhile?
Technically no, but quite often they are easier to install and tinker with than C/C++ projects (for instance usually you just need to clone the repo and run either 'cargo build' or 'zig build', and it mostly 'just works' no matter the platform).

Some C/C++ projects which have switched to cmake are equally easy to build (well not quite: "mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && cmake --build ."), but it's definitely not the norm.
Thanks for the feedback!

From grandparent:

"I don’t buy any of it. When it comes to this conflict, it’s a matter of faith: do you think The Nations who stand against (that asshole) Putin are good and justified? If so, then just keep the faith and don’t trust what you read. The alternative is to subject yourself to a carnival ride of fake news and lies that will leave your head spinning."

Old tactic from Goebbels, spread lies and facts evenly, so that no one believes ANY facts from any side anymore, people are effectively demoralised. You can see the effect of that tactics in vonwoodson's and many others' posts. Maybe we will have antidote for that after this war, but I doubt it.

Eh, redundancy doesn't have to imply a lack of coordination, it can be strategic. I haven't worked at FB/Meta so you may have deeper insight here.

If you have something extremely critical you need done and enough resources, especially at a high risk of failure, you often have multiple groups tackling the same problem to increase your odds of overall success.

Don't be a jerk, they are suggesting a repurposing of this studies data, which I wouldn't be surprised to learn is already in the works. That's not to say this study was done wrong, it is assessing a different probe. The thing about invitations is that there are more than one way to make one, this is a single snapshot in time of how a population responds to one particular kind of invite.

There is money for constructing large expensive apartments who people who can acquire a bank loan would like to buy as an investment. There is little money for constructing cheap small simple rentals, because rentals are paid by wages, not inflated loans. But this is the segment where the demand is highest.

The cheap mortgages distorts the price signals, making the market less efficient.

At one apartment/job combo I would manage to lose a tire every 7-10 months.

I don’t get why people keep saying this, it’s like they want companies to pay employees less. No one goes around saying “Investment Banking, now that’s a bubble, no way they can keep paying their employees that much!” (Goldman Sachs revenue / employee over $1.1 million)

Yes it does:

- Rust is a systems-level language and requires developers to be experienced in order to create big software components. This usually leads to better quality.

- Rust rewards putting effort upfront (e.g. error handling, Option<T>, ...) leading to less bugs than more forgiving languages.

- Rust uses zero-cost abstractions which enables efficient code. In other languages it's a lot easier to degrade your performance by accident.

- Rust can easily create binaries for the most relevant architectures, so your programs tend to be portable.

- The contribution story is great, your code tends to be correct and you don't need to watch out for many foot guns. I've done it myself for Helix and the experience was awesome [1].

But take everything with a grain of salt, you can create bad software in every programming language.

I’m so confused though, because based on my reading of it, it seems like the prostate screening thing where yes it might find cancer but no it won’t prevent deaths, so it might be better to just not know/do invasive procedures and treatment for it.

Is that the wrong conclusion to reach from the data?
First of all, it didn't help him with avoiding a bank run when he was actually put in charge of almost the whole thing a few decades later, which is a thing that happens to very few "Nobel"-like economists (Keynes and his involvement in Bretton-Woods comes to mind, and that's about it as far as I know).

Second, I've always found those Great Depression/New Deal studies a little questionable when it comes to the science of economics, like I've partially hinted in another comment. It looks like the conclusion almost always aligns with the political leanings of those carrying out the study.

Sure, maybe he deserves the Nobel for an interesting work of economic history (or whatever the official term is), but I have the impression that his papers on that period were used as "inputs" for his relatively recent economic decisions, so not as a history artefact.

Just because it's limited doesn't mean I can assign probability to it.

As I said. The difference is closed and open systems.

No problem with probability of getting a given card based on what have already been dealt in ex a game.

The problem arises when it's applied to predicting reality in open ended systems as I said weather, economics, climate etc. and where history is being used as some sort of benchmark of the future.

There is no probability whether an astroid is on the path towards earth. It either is or it isn't.

In other words. We can either explain or not.
