Seems so.

Just a tip that may or may not be helpful for you:

I have personally gone through periods where I am extremely unproductive due to that exact process. For years I tried to fix it: using web extensions to limit the sites I can use, pomodoro, removing autocomplete results so I don’t enter a website through muscle memory, etc.

Results, however, were mostly temporary and not really successful in the long term.

What did work for me, as suggested in a book, was really thinking about myself, taking notes, and trying to find a pattern of what times in my life procrastination comes back in full force.

What I found out is that these periods happen whenever I'm avoiding a specific task, no matter how unrelated to the job at hand. So for example, if I need to have a difficult conversation with a partner and I start putting it off, that triggers my avoidant behaviour and I won't get anything done at work or in personal projects until I face the issue. Then the behaviour gets magically resolved and I feel super productive again.

Things that have triggered avoidance so far are as big as making up with a friend after an argument, and as small as having to go through phone customer service to solve an issue with my phone carrier's bill.

So I'd recommend you to stop and ponder for a moment if there's any important unrelated things you've been avoiding.
That interaction that you mention doesn't exist in whatsapp at all. You don't have to "accept" messages from new conversations.
Except I'm not seeing anything on subscription where you already own the hardware actually being sold for cheaper!
Assuming that initial assumptions about resale values and reliability hold out, leasing vs financing is essentially a wash. You’re either paying for the whole car with interest with equal payments over a period of time or you’re opting for lower payments with a final balloon payment.

Now, cash vs financing is a different story, but that depends on whether you have that much cash on hand and what you plan to do with it. Most people don’t have 35K available to buy a car outright.

I prefer cash over financing. Most buyers opt for the latter, and have been for decades.
I'm guessing you're under 25. Before you were old enough to have money, Black Friday was goooooooood.

I used to pick up 100-packs of CD-R and DVD-Rs from Circuit City for like $10 on Black Friday. That was like a 60-90% discount.
It's interesting that your first instinct in counterargument is to claim that anyone making the argument in the letter must be a white man.

Something unexpected is moving into your lane (wreck from the other lane, semi driver falling asleep, moose, ...), and you need to apply some combination of braking, accelerating, and turning to avoid it.

Less drastically but much more frequently, just when merging onto the freeway you'll typically choose to accelerate or brake based on what's most comfortable given the available traffic openings, and finding in hindsight that acceleration wasn't actually an option isn't going to make the road safer.
Double the battery and double the speed for the same price?

Yeah that sounds believable. Reminds me of the original price estimates for the Lightyear One.

I guess they're really banking on the part where they rent it out for double the price.

edit: spec sheet doesn't seem to pass even a cursory sniff test:

> Nimbus One - 9 kWh (swappable)

> Charge Time (0-95%) Under 5.5 hours from a standard household plug

This is an american product so a standard household plug is 15A, NEC doesn't allow continuous loads (>3h) to exceed 80%, so you get 12A to play with. At 120V that's 1440W, which means 6 hours (5:56 specifically) to charge the battery to 95% assuming the battery can handle full power for that entire range.

They clearly aren't talking about a 20A circuit as by my reckoning that'd charge in a hair under 4:30.

> Not even close my friend. I would trust that instinct.

Not sure what instinct you are referring to here. And just a reminder that when there's a strike, the people who go out to support are those with the least pay, or those who are already in unions. Trying to split grad students off from the rest of the labor force is not something that I am trying to do, if that's what you are implying.

> Just a reminder, employees at UC Berkeley are entitled to a pension after five years.

This is false, grad students never earn a pension. Grad student researchers are who I'm talking about, the people who are currently on strike.

Even still, what good is a pension if you can't pay rent today?

I bring up grad student workers both because they are currently striking, but also because HN readers are probably more familiar with them, and can commiserate a bit more. It's not work that is as hard on the body as farm work, but desperately needing each paycheck in order to get enough food to eat, in order to pay rent and not end up homeless, living in terrible filthy conditions such as homes with mold, or in in insulated garages, or in sheds behind a primary house, with shared use of the kitchen and bathroom... those sorts of poor living conditions, barely able to be paid for are common.

I'm having trouble imagining what you could mean by this other than invoking antisemitic conspiracy theories like the Great Replacement? Most people don't make a distinction between light skinned people and white people, and this is an, ahem, quite specific and nuanced distinction that only makes sense to me personally because I've made a study of white supremacist ideology.

Show HN: I made a sliding puzzle game
Inspired by another recent puzzle game [1] and bored at home while sick with the stomach flu, I decided to create a mobile-friendly version of the sliding-tile puzzle game that I once played as a kid.

How to play:

1. Tap a square to move it to the empty square.

2. Repeat until you've unscrambled the image.

Options:

- Allow swapping: Any image square can be moved to the empty square. (Easier)

- Only sliding: Only image squares that are directly adjacent to the empty square can be moved. (Harder)

Created in a day with React and the Unsplash random image API. Of course, that Unsplash API happens to be returning 503s at the moment of this submission, so I've manually added about 20 images for now.

It was a fun toy project, but I'd love to hear any feedback or suggestions. It's open source on GitHub [2] if you'd like to read and critique my shitty JS :P

I'm sure these protests have nothing whatsoever to do with lockdown and are 100% due to the fact that Foxconn is a 'western capitalist company.'
All of that can be accomplished with one-time purchases. What’s the value-add of a subscription?

It’s great that future buyers can upgrade, I think that’s cool. But now sellers can’t recoup any of the money they spend on these features, and over the life of the car they are likely to cost many times more. It’s brutal for lower-income people relying on decent cars to eventually reach a price point they can afford, because they’ll need to effectively pay for every option like they are buying new.

One of the big tragedies of this moment politically is that so many progressives who love Butler novels like "Parable of the Sower"—or who would love them if they had read them—think that the urgent drive to establish human civilization among the stars is just a vanity project for rich white men or, worse, a billionaires' conspiracy to escape the earth.

Butler saw the push to the stars as something that could give humans a common purpose and save us from the terminal infighting that happens when we lack one.

It's too bad she isn't alive now to set people straight.
The NEV category (basically golf cart) make sense in specific neighborhoods -- not in dense cities (where they're still too big), not in really long distance rural settings (although a Gator/UTV or something on your own property can be awesome), but in the right kind of suburban/resort/etc. community, amazing.

I am not a big fan of bicycle/moped/motorcycle because I usually want more stuff with me if I'm not just going by foot, but something like this would be ideal on a large campus/neighborhood with 15-35mph streets, etc.

I don't think I'd be willing to use a Citroen for branding reasons, but a Toyota or Tesla or Hyundai or something would be great. Not as a first car, and probably not as a second car with 2 adults, but as a third vehicle. Maybe even do graduated licensing and let 14-18 year olds drive this, raising driving age to 18 for regular cars.
Definitely- I assumed more than static sites as it specifically mentioned Remix, which is like Next.JS- intended to be used as a back and front end.

But I do now see you can create static sites with this too.

I don't think the right to sell goods is in the Constitution. What is in the constitution is an explicit grant to power to Congress to "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations"
Actually he wrote the Rust version first, so you're wrong jumping to conclusions.

I'm not trying to say Go is faster than Rust, it's usually slower. But there are always exceptions to the rule. The Go code, on the other hand, is usually simpler and quicker to write. For that reason I'd prefer Go if the problem lends itself to a garbage collected language.
Yes! We use gradle as much as possible to accomplish the same thing. CI runs ‘gradle build’ and it’s easily migrated in future if need be.

Not completely true; while you don't have to accept messages for them to show up in your conversation list, when you receive the first message from someone not in your contact list you get the option to choose between "report", "block" and "continue".
In the states, dealerships make more from financing kickbacks than from the actual sale.

One of the strategies I hear about online is working with the dealership to take out financing with the implicit understanding that you’ll wait to pay off the loan until after they’ve received their payout.

I’ve always been quite mediocre at reading and writing. This has been confirmed by my grades over the years.

Just this week, I’ve been writing a script for a YouTube video and it is difficult for me. Organizing my thoughts and making it “seamless” is a lot of work. In my software job I usually default to bullet points for technical writing — which I feel is a cop out. I had decided before reading this article that I want to invest some time in these neglected skills.

Does anyone have any recommendations for improving these skills?
No, sorry about that.

They still have to exist. The usual reason for existing is to exploit their power over users. When its cheap to host people will do it out of the goodness of their heart, once it hits scale the goodness tends to dissappear.
Fair, but, if so, could we focus on one of those instead?

I'd be especially interested to see an example that's perfectly safe in C or C++, and for which there's no better way of doing the data modeling in Rust. Using the kinds of data patterns that have long been used to avoid circular references in functional programming languages, for example. Because we want to avoid getting too caught up in examples of things that should be hard in Rust because Rust is designed to favor different ways of doing things.

Or, to put it cutely, I'd want to be cautious about doing the equivalent of criticizing a Toyota for having a terrible glide slope.
so can GitHub Actions. And Jenkins, I guess.

And running your jobs in Docker is what I recommend that people at my work do, and I admin several GitHub Enterprise Server instances and GitHub Enterprise Cloud as well.

This is the one thing that Drone got very right - every Drone job runs in a container. It is built in to the drone tooling to be able to run those jobs locally on your development machine as well, and requiring containers is why that works.

If you run your CI and/or CD steps from within a container, you can run that container anywhere, and writing a small script to read your CI/CD yaml (or whatever you use), and wrap your favorite container command line tool into a working local CI/CD system should be pretty trivial.

Using containers also makes moving to another CI/CD system which can use containers as trivial as it can currently be.

Isn't a normal AC a reversible heat pump?
I enjoyed your example. When I was a student, these types of stories made the math more relatable. I remember these apocryphal stories; I doubt their authenticity but found them amusing.

- Pythagoras was part of what we would call a religious cult. They were trying to discover the secret of the universe when they stumbled on PI and the Pythagorean theorem.

- The Sumerians counted in sixes. From them, we have sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour. Don't know why a day only has 24 hours. Maybe the royal mathematician goofed up and got sacrificed to Tiamat.

- Today, we count in tens. But you see artifacts of counting by twenty in our language. Lincoln's Gettysburg address begins with Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation. Four score means four twenties or eighty.

- Trigonometry was created by enterprising Greek merchants who had fleets of ships. One problem they had was determining how far a ship was from port. They solved the problem by creating a virtual right triangle. On shore, they marked a "shore line" which they would place two observers. The two observers always stood on the line and at a known distance from one another by means of a fixed rope. The first observer would walk up and down the line. The second observer would adjust his position on the line to keep the same distance from the first. The first observer would walk up and down the line until he thought he was "perpendicular" to the ship which was at sea. The second observer would then write down the estimated angle between the shoreline and the ship. By knowing this angle (theta), the fixed distance between observers (adjacent distance), and the right/90 degree angle... they could calculate the distance to the ship (opposite distance). In other words, the distance to the ship is equal to the tangent of theta multiplied by the adjacent distance.

I'll bite, what is the false statement that you keep alluding to? Because the vacuous "if" statement that you claimed to be false is absolutely a truth in logic.

Compute and implements are different words, nobody is arguing that. To me and everyone literate in math/cs, the role of "implementing" here is in the proof by reduction, which in the case of computability is used to establish by contradiction that some other problem is not computable by reducing a known incompatible problem to it.

Just like when you show an algorithmic implementation that maps any SAT instance to another problem using a polynomial time algorithm, then it follows that this other problem is NP-complete.

The reason Finnish government was supporting Jolla OS development was that several prominent anti-communist politicians got Jordan Peterson treatment. Android, gmail and other Google services did not work for days.

This was not published, so that purple-haired Google employees did not get the satisfaction. Jolla OS and VIRVE (government phone system) were seen as secure alternative. But Google somehow managed to ensure that this does not happen again and issue was forgotten.

But Russians just officially adopted Jolla OS as the only one in government phones. There will more adopters in rebellious countries of eastern Europe, I am sure.

Elon Musk could easily join this train. Jolla is open and there are no creepy creeps of Amerikan Westcoast Creepytown telling how to use it.
You would only find that if you were literally flooring it to merge. That's not safe regardless.
My exact thought. Wooden floors — not even strong enough to bear the crowd — and the cesspool large enough to fit 60 people? That's not the place for king's accommodation, even in time when everyone was used to the smell of the stables. If anything, the ammonia would corrode the hell out of any metallic objects in the building, like nails.

Without reading German links, I suppose that either some architect had had a bright idea that a giant 640 KP latrine should be enough for every occupation, and thus wouldn't ever need to be scooped, or that people were mostly crushed by rubble, and the adjacent common-sized latrine also broke.

Though in some periods latrines were used to make certain chemicals, and therefore the building could be seen as what we now call a chemical plant.

I done an Ask HN[0] yesterday about this entitled `Have we reached peak Black Friday?`. Some of the comments are insightful. This is my question:

> In the start it was novel. New smart TV marked down considerably that sold out in minutes. What a great idea! But then it caught on and became just another grift. Amazon is full of 'tat' that although it's marked down substantially, it's never something I actually need. It's more a good deal for the seller, not the buyer, and has also devolved into scam territory too. If you do enough price watching, you suddenly see new items on the market marked down, but nobody knows the original price, since it's a new item just launched for Black Friday! The whole thing just seems like a grift.

Top dogs hate competition. Simple as that. I fucking hate how the US pushed them out of Europe due security concerns when we fuckin know for a fact the US is the worst offender when it comes to spying and sabotaging the competition.
> If it’s raining/snowing, or too hot, or too cold, I’d much rather be in an small enclosed car than exposed to the elements on a bike.

Yes and no. I have a three wheeler cargo bike I use for most of my commuting or city riding and very rarely do I opt for my car, particularly when the weather is bad. The main reason is that since where I live I basically cannot find parking and when the weather is bad, the roads are full of cars. In that case I'm usually quicker and more relaxed just loading the kids into the cargo bike (they have a roof) and I accept the wetness / cold than to try to use my car instead. It just works out much better for me.
The basic physics are the same regardless of altitude, but the launchers used in current known ASAT weapons systems are only capable of reaching LEO. Need a bigger booster. I assume the US / China / Russia have secret programs working on this right now.
The flip side is that the manufacturer loses leverage once the warranty period of over.

Harder for BEVs where everything is electronically controlled. It’s a different story if there’s a physical motor and you can edit or bypass the ECU.
That obviously wasn't a very good move from Huawei and ZTE but it's disingenuous to claim this is what caused the current situation. It simply handed the US government a convenient stick when they really wanted one, and they would therefore have found one in any case.

There is a global geopolitical struggle between the US and China, and the US see China as an increasingly serious threat to their 'leadership'. That really is the bottom line.
But it looks like an octal literal.

You do a legally allowed right turn on red. But visibility to the left is bad, and only as you turn do you notice a bus on your left. You floor it to avoid the collision.

To be fair, a vehicle that does 0-60 in 10s can probably pull this off too.
So your position is that they should quit instead of negotiate for better conditions? Who is that better for and why? You don't provide any argument for why that's a better course of action for anybody.

As somebody who benefits, indirectly, from their work, since their work benefits all of society, I'm much happier with them improving the working conditions and continuing to work, rather than quitting and losing that investment in their specialized knowledge.
