Some intersections in the US have a countdown timer letting pedestrians and drivers know how soon until the light changes. It seems to help but I'm sure someone who doesn't regularly walk around town has no idea how long it actually takes to cross any given road.

Personally, I wouldn't put it in certain terms like the GP has, but it is not out of the question for me.

You are aware that EEE is in /phases/, right? Embracing is just the first one.

Or maybe we just haven't forgotten history? In case you want to learn or refresh the memory:

I think that's a pretty serious accusation to make about historians and archaeologists in general, in the context of a discussion of someone who hasn't added to the field, and indeed produces pseudoscientific crap for Netflix.

He may try to stay consistent with the evidence as he understands it in which case it becomes clear he doesn't understand it.

So no, I don't find it inspirational or evocative, any more than I have found talks by psychics, ufologists or homeopaths evocative. They all imagine their beliefs are evidenced...

On linux you can use Barrier / Input Leap. No Wayland support though, still work in progress for unforeseeable future. Can't find any KVM app that works on Wayland yet. RKVM used to work on Wayland but not anymore.

If I disabled the permission it would stop working.

So I switched to the home assistant integration for it and removed the app from my phone.
People can start and find wonderful and fulfilling lives in their 40's. Personally I have no idea what the OP is like and if this discussion is the only interaction you've had with the person, neither likely do you. Which means both of us are unable to guess what he can still achieve in life. A borderline depressed person will describe their circumstances and capabilities in a way that plausibly does not in fact reflect their full potential.

There are some career paths for which not only doors close at an early age but they require specific circumstances to even be feasible - like an Olympic gold medalist. Most lives are not like that (than heavens) and people are able to find meaning and fulfillment in lots of circumstances.

If you don't know a person, then the charitable interpretation is to trust they are capable of humanly achieving what ever they set their minds to, that people starting from similar circumstances have achieved. With the input data (40+, masters) the range of possibilities is quite large.

"Faking it till you make it" is perhaps not an accurate description. It presumes you need to prove something to someone. A person just needs to find the thing they like doing, and then thrive in doing that. Once you thrive people will notice anyway. There is nothing wrong in starting humbly, and then moving upwards once skill and confidence builds up.
Traditional English has three genders: Male, Female, ???:

"The feeling we get around a crush, or when a crush is starting to form, is actually quite similar to the feeling we get when we define a new goal or set a new aim that really excites us."

There may be something to this, but I have a couple of caveats:

1) The reproductive impulse is much stronger than a simple goal orientation impulse. Or at the very least it's at the same degree of strength, being one of the basic instincts.

2) I'm not particularly goal oriented or performative, but I have had crushes. I'm hardly unique in this.

---

Breaking this down in terms of basic motivations by using the Enneagram of personality (a personality typology heavily based on primary motivations) plus the three instinctual variants:

Goal orientation, while present in particular ways in a variety of the Enneagram types, is very basic to type 3, as is performativity. I don't know the blogger's type; they could easily be one of the other types that has some goal orientation and/or performativity within their makeup, or might interpret their life in this manner for formative reasons.

The sexual instinctual variant is the one that primarily motivates attraction toward (or repulsion from) particular persons or things. I would be willing to bet that the author is at least sexual second, and most likely sexual first.

---

Going back to the original article it seems quite likely that a crush would play out much the same way other mental phenomena would in a particular person with particular motivations. So I don't think the blogger is wrong to make this connection, I just think they've insufficiently generalized.

"This feels obvious as I write it out. I mean, there's evidence of this everywhere in my life. But there is no evidence as rich and obvious as my crushes—as the people that catch my attention and hold it."

Yes, our typological and personal motivations play out most strongly through our instinctual variants, especially our dominant instinct.

"So, why are there other individuals that I'm also drawn to, intrigued by?"

This is the nature of your being, if you are sexual first. But not all attraction needs, or even wants, sexual or romantic fulfillment. This attraction instinct has other purposes besides sex. I'm sexual second (with OCD) and at times, especially earlier in life, when I was in an interesting conversation with someone, I'd have a visual flash of kissing them (there's the OCD), despite having no actual-sexual interest in them.
I doubt even this much is true. I truly believe this document will never be referenced outside of a promo doc or people making fun of it.
Even if you are right (spoiler: you're just lying). Building out wind and solar is still optimal for the 90% of electricity emissions it can replace while we wait 30 years for imaginary nuclear reactors with imaginary fuel mined from imaginary mines enriched in imaginary centrifuges built in imaginary heavy casting facilities to save the day. Feel free to fund said reactors in addition to the renewables which can then be relegated to EV charging and electrolysis, but only after doing the thing that solves 90% of the problem in a third of the time for a fifth of the cost.

By using imaginary reactors to attack renewables instead you reveal your very obvious intent of delaying decarbonization.
> - Words that have long since lost any stigmatizing meaning by virtue of the original use being so ancient ("lame", "dumb", "stupid")

If you've known someone with mobility issues (e.g., a limp from birth) long enough for them to be honest with you, then the term "lame" (as a slang term meaning "something shitty") that might still be a sore spot.

EDIT: you don't have to do anything. But it does mean something to some ppl, and some of these ppl do notice it being said or avoided. And after hearing that from someone you care about, if might make you want to notice more (once the surprise of realizing it's an actual concern fades away)

I left a big tech co. over the summer. This resonates with me, because I left out of frustration. The culture was not great to begin with and rotted in recent years. Mid level managers fighting for territory and fiefdoms, promotion driven development, and a practical disdain for customers.
In software engineering you generally have a complex dependency graph to complete something that’s largely unknowable and each edge is a random variable with a high variability skewing right. If you take the joint probability that any specific and precise date is in fact accurate, it’s effectively zero and has a long tail in the “later” direction.

However management often confuses precision for accuracy. In fact, not just management - but humans do. A precisely articulated anything, no matter how much it’s caveated, is taken as a fact. It’s precise. You can measure it. To a human that feels accurate. We feel disappointed when it’s not accurate. Even when we were warned.

This then gets into the discussion of how to estimate better. Holding the construction above to be true for any effort of any complexity that’s futile.

The way I lead software is I keep a tight view of “could we do better now” and “are we doing the right next thing,” and if we learn we made a mistake we suck it up, fix it if we can, and then keep rolling forward. I give out precise estimates when asked and don’t tell anyone on the team. When we fail to meet those estimates I tell my story of precision and accuracy and get back to work. At some point things work well enough that the next step isn’t worth it given how long it’s taken and we are done. Seems to work well, yields good products, executes fast, and as long as I have a thick skin for being grilled on my inaccurate yet precise estimates its less stressful than the alternatives I’ve seen.

More discussion on the original Show HN from the author when this was new 5 years ago:

With enough experience it usually breaks down into the following temporal classifications:

1. 2 hours for trivial features

2. 2 days for normal features

3. 2 weeks for performant features

4. 2 months for known problems

5. 2 years for unknown problems

6. 2 decades for hard/currently-impossible problems

7. never (*note this is the default for people who can't tell the difference)

Part of PERT, is placing redundancies with statistical upper bounds on estimated complexity. i.e. if the team or technology is unfeasible it is garbage collected.

Many HR process people mistakenly assume every staff member is interchangeable/replaceable, as all tasks fall below class 4 in their mind.

Cheers =)
> What I don't see touched on in this post is the high-level trust model. What generally makes trusted computing a non-starter for libre software is that it contains privileged keys baked in by the manufacturer.

Keys don't have to be open source.

Re (2), the way you defeat evil maid attacks on boot or wake is by using a TPM and measuring every bit of firmware and software loaded (to some point) so that local storage decryption is not possible unless you're running golden code. The hard part is stopping evil maid attacks on running systems.

Re (3), for open systems you really need any remote attestation to be at the option of the end user or the operating system that they choose to run (but the end user must have the option to run an operating system of their choice, which then might not implement remote attestation).

TPMs got these things right, but they're not SEs. TPMs could be SEs, but they're missing necessary functionality. I'm imagining a BPF-style system where you'd get to send bytecode to be interpreted with access to various loaded key objects (handles), and which would be able to execute TPM commands (subject to policy) and use their outputs without exposing them to the user, with the program's execution and availability of its final outputs being conditional on satisfying some relevant policy. Because so many systems have a TPM, a TCG TPM standard update that allows for a very limited and TPM-centric SE to be implemented with a TPM firmware update would be very interesting.

> For software freedom, these aspects are much more important than the design and licensing of the computation core(s). Let them ship ARM. Let them ship only ARM. Let them ship a proprietary ISA that needs to be painstakingly reverse engineered over a decade. Spend your social capital making sure the ultimate end-owners of the chip remain in control of their devices! This is what is critical for open source.

Yes, the amount of software built to run in SEs is minute, therefore it's not that big a deal to expect vendors to recompile that software if a new version of the SE were to use a different ISA. I'm a bit surprised at the focus on RISC-V, but I'm not annoyed by it -- if it really costs them little, then I don't see the problem, and having the option is certainly interesting.

Interestingly, I've seen a lot of pushback against "Latinx" as a term from DEI circles themselves, that it's seen as too purely academic and detached from real-world use by individuals that the label would apply to. So there's something odd to me about that suggestion only because it seems to be replacing one term with an equally or more problematic term.
Why limit yourself against one evil entity? Both Google and Microsoft are proven evil enemies of the people and should be resisted at all costs.

#1, estimates have no impact on the time it will take to complete, is not generally true. Underestimating tends to significantly increase the amount of time a project will take, since the team gets pulled in to constant fire drills, rescoping, etc to try to figure out why they are behind schedule and how to get back on schedule. Overestimating tends towards the project taking longer because less pressure allows scope creep (ie Parkinson's Law).

that's because rocket science requires massive capital investment for said scientist to achieve anything - this aint no more backyard rocketry in the modern day.

I would love to know how this is handled in other parts of the world. Particularly the regulatory side because this is a potential health nightmare for OH&S if not the water table and the neighbourhood.

The escrow requirements for maintainance of state would be interesting too. Who exactly benefits from the spend? Is this contestable by a future generation? In effect, does the corpse become property?

Perpetual funding is a pretty bizarre concept, but that said the entire 'south sea bubble' debt exist inside British gilts for hundreds of years, they only wiped them out recently at the same time as the WW1 debt, so carrying forward into the future does happen, albiet mostly at scale by governments.

Do you mind going into a little more detail on the problems? The last I knew we had examples of smalls creatures freezing and thawing but it didn’t seem to scale up very well, and from what little I knew the problem seemed to be that freezing itself would damage cell walls (tiny chunks of ice poking calls through things all over your body), even if you managed to do it very fast and minimize the size of crystal formation.

But I learned all that a decade or two ago, so if you have a moment to update/correct me I’d be grateful.
FWiW and just as a note, I'm ~60, have written several million SLOC of exploration geophysics code, first worked in a mine at 16, have an engineering ( and math and Comp Sci ) degree, and put together that global registry of mineral resources with a few others I know, most of whom are mining engineers, geologists, etc.

In the course of tracking resources we'd find ourselves dealing with four to five 300 - 2,000 page technical reports for each resource across several thousand companies spanning the globe. Come Annual report and quarterly report filing times we'd also have to deal with each company dropping several hundred pages of report and finnacials.

Prior to onselling that business to S&P some 15+ years ago we sold mineral intelligence to most of the large players in the mineral exploration and production game, from Rio Tinto and BHP down.

While I still have a large contact list I must say I've never spoken to or heard of Associate Professor of Mining Engineering Simon Michaux in Finland ... although I did visit Finland several decades back and was given a nice SAKO rifle system for efficiently finding a target drum of nuclear waste in a forest from 80m altitude in a two second window at 70m/sec.

Still, a great many people have written about and modelled the boom | bust dynamics of mineral exploration and production and time to life of mining operations and their retirement, etc ... specially those large organisations do this on daily basis.
