Those are all before birth control and before the maturation of fields like sports, entertainment and computers where young men could command as much money and influence as old industrialists. That probably shifted cultural ideals.

Also those movies are from the days where only a handful of movies were made every year, so the lack of competition meant you could write anything and jam it down people's throats, rather than needing to follow demand.

What kind of impact did Engelbart have after "the mother of all demos"? Much more limited than Kay, IMO. Kay’s Dynabook is arguably just as important, and he went on to do a lot of other stuff.

Same for Berners-Lee. Sure, he remains influential over the web's incremental progress on W3C, but anything more visionary seems to be a miss: XHTML, semantic web, the Solid project...

You can also skip the reflog if you have a reference to the commit (the commit hash being the most reliable since it can't change), `git reset` is like the teleportation device for the git graph. Even if it's orphaned or dereferenced (due to rebase) it takes quite a while before git GC will remove it (two weeks is the default I think).

I feel like this should be introduced before any rebasing tutorial, or quite frankly any kind of more advanced git commands than commit/pull/push.

It's really important to know that it's ok to fuck (almost) everything up in order to make progress in learning. This even goes beyond git itself and onto the code it tracks - I've noticed some newbies will get stuck tip toeing around code worrying about "breaking it too much" when debugging something tricky... When I see that I tell them to park their work in a commit, then show them how to reliably restore the working tree to that point (reset --hard), then they can rip the codebase to shreds to properly zero in on the issue in short order.

It shows just how far the Dynamicland concept can be pushed into a hyperspecific feature set customized to fit a single domain -- because they can deconstruct the user experience to that level of detail.

The `git stash` is useful but that by default status doesn't show anything related to stashed changes makes it easy to forget you have them. Can replace stash workflow with commit, branch, etc and have one less thing to think about.

The idea that environmentalists had any influence on IFR is a complete fantasy or that pouring another half a trillion into failed attempts at separation and reprocessing programs would magically make them clean or cheap is laughable. If you want to lament the mismanagement of funding for green energy, then lament that large scale wind was abandoned in the early 40s because the very first attempt was a little bit more expensive than coal or that the first ten billion dollars moving down the learning curve for solar to make it viable for mass market took 5 decades.

Ask HN: What are your sources for reliable Health and Medical information
I find it harder and harder to find reliable health-related information. Covid just polarised people: you were either pro-vaccines (i.e. pro-science) or against (therefore anti-science). As we see now things are a bit more nuanced and you can start having conversations around the topic without the labelling. But this might be an extreme case. I'm also talking about everyday health and medical info.

So, what are your news or personal site/blogs (maybe Twitter accounts?) you rely on?

Important to note however is that the reflog is local and isn't pushed. Sometimes people panic when things aren't working and once someone asked me to fix their branch, but then it turns out they had deleted the local repo because they wanted to "start over again". Bad idea!
On Brave I use "StayFocused" and set a maximum time per day. For YouTube etc. there are similar tools as well. Restricting access works best for me.

On a side note, please be aware that the described problems can be symptoms of ADHD but are common in people without (like me) as well and are, to some degree, normal. If you look at the problem biased to ADHD you might miss underlying causes that are not ADHD related like lack of sleep or exercise, nutrition, anxiety etc. I am saying this as I spent my early 20s diagnosed with a disorder and overlooked base causes for my problems through the lens of this disorder and chasing solutions for issues that were not the route causes of my problems.
I am NOT saying that ADHD is not the cause but sharing a personal experience. , and I have a relative with ADHD, so I see the struggle.

Honestly, I'm not sure if this is the place to even ask if I'm nuts, or if it'd be better on Stack Exchange WebApps, or ... wherever?

A very common functionality seems to have disappeared from Google Maps. It may be specific to McDonald's or certain entities.

[class of entity] near [address]

When I open Google Maps, it is focused on my home address. If I type in:

McDonald's near 122 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL

Instead of showing me Walgreens near that address, it zooms out quite a bit and shows me the 20 or so McDonald's near my home address -- but with no relationship to my entered address.

Is this something others can reproduce? If so, any way of getting the attention of the Google Maps team? I can't imagine this is intended behavior, as it ruins the ability to look for restaurants at a place you will visit.

Sounds like you treat friendships as monogamous love relationships - would be nice to rethink that approach and maybe convince yourself that something less committed friendships are fulfilling too.
I tend to keep my SOWs vague so allow for reprioritization of work and protect myself. I also never write SOWs on basis of outcomes, but as an activity.

Posted a similar comment up above, but this isn’t really true anymore. Search in any non-rural area and you’ll see lots of 30+ year old houses that have recently been remodeled, or are in the process of being remodeled.

Did anyone notice that most (all?) of the logos underneath "Supporting the top languages" are in fact the logos of frontend/JS frameworks, not languages?

Maybe this is far too pedantic, but I do wonder if the community's over-indexing on frameworks to the point that they almost become languages is one of the deeper problems.
> Everyone renting [...] from huge housing companies?

In cities like Munich, where the real estate is extremly valuable, definitely. The increase in inheritance tax you mentioned makes it very unattractive to not just sell the house to the highest bidder immediately, which in most cases will be one of the large housing companies.

For small tenements, it's very challenging to generate enough rental income to offset the inheritance tax in a single lifetime, especially if the new owners want to keep rents low.
Not everyone subscribes to Science Advances. I can't even get their page to load. Humor us and try to explain your thoughts instead of complaining about the "effort" of the GP, please.

The answer to GP's objection is not explained in the linked article, as far as I can tell.

The writers of a research paper have a vested interest in seeming smart and displaying their findings as a novel contribution to the greater corpus of research. It's better to think skeptically and critically about any new research paper than to accept it as fact.
Thanks for this. I ended up going down a rabbit hole after my post and found out that we now have something called 'Right to Choose' which is where you can ask your GP to refer you to a private practice.

From reading the ADHDUK subreddit it turns out it takes it down to under 6 weeks. Think I need to call my GP and have a conversation.
This response to your thoughts is great https://stackoverflow.com/a/2990514

> The point of stating that a mathematical model is Turing Complete is to reveal the capability of the model to perform any calculation, given a sufficient amount of resources (i.e. infinite), not to show whether a specific implementation of a model does have those resources. Non-Turing complete models would not be able to handle a specific set of calculations, even with enough resources, something that reveals a difference in the way the two models operate, even when they have limited resources. Of course, to prove this property, you have to do have to assume that the models are able to use an infinite amount of resources, but this property of a model is relevant even when resources are limited.

You should rebase instead of merging when pulling though otherwise you contaminate your branch with merges that mess up the git log.

Alternatively you can squash the merges before pushing but this still requires rebasing.
I like articles written about studies because if done well you get at least one skeptical or dissenting expert opinion.

It doesn't give a single reason why the violence was there, but it just seems hokey

And it reminds of those racist studies of various tribes that were allegedly inherently violent

And the allegedly violent monkeys -- turns out they were just losing habitat to dumbass humans and that explained about 100% of the violence

Bah humbug

...I read some more this article and more. I guess I can buy it. More cooperation for farming but then greater stores of valuable food and tools and humans leads to envy / jealousy thus violence.

It does, I did a bit of digging after posting and it looks like you can get your GP to refer you to a private practice, pay them and then switch back to the GP once you've been diagnosed and started medication.

So it looks like theres an initial cost to get going but it takes the wait time down from ~3 years to around 6 weeks. Think I might need to call my GP and get started, I've been putting this off way too long.

It’s not imposed on consumers as much anymore, but in business, it’s still huge. There are plenty of articles about it even locally in Japanese.
We already regulate shop signs - compare e.g. streets in Asia vs. Europe. Completely different what is tolerated. Tolerating informative signage (e.g. non flashy signs telling you what shop you are looking at) is not incompatible with banning advertisements.

> The best argument in favour of advertising is that it makes it possible for a new entrant to a market to make an impression; without it, markets would always be dominated by incumbents, give or take the occasional surprise. I don't know how to capture that benefit, without ending up with the whole world covered in billboards.

I don't think that argument holds much water as ads require a big capital investment. The main reason new entrants need to advertise is because the incumbents are already advertising so you neeed to compete there just to get back the base level of engagement.

Lunar's BlackOut feature can do that: https://lunar.fyi/pro#blackout

The feature is especially useful if you want to turn them off in software and keep them still connected to the Mac so that you can turn them on at a later time using a hotkey for example.

If you simply want to turn them off completely, just like you would press the physical power button of the monitor, then Lunar can do that by sending a DDC toggle power command, but there are some caveats to be aware of:

works only if the monitor can be controlled through DDC (most monitors work)
can't be used to power on the monitor
when a monitor is turned off or in standby, it does not accept any commands from a connected device

> Will also the USA and Europe get stuck technologically as the population grows older? Again, it is to be expected.

I think they may have escaped to evergreen technology for consumer electronics, but one might argue America is equally as trapped by historical infrastructure. Japan's infrastructure is interesting as it's clear much of it was built in the 80s and 90s, but it's still serviceable and their big bets on trains turned out to be rather future proof. When walking the streets, especially somewhere like Osaka, you can see much of the signage, bridges, pedestrian crossing buttons are very old indeed. You do often feel like you are in a future-past of some kind.

None of these statements apply universally across both countries mind you, there is good rail in the US and modern infra in Japan as well.

It is undoubted that PFxx exposure has after-effects, but the point of the comment I replied to was if the agent used to filter out PFxx compounds out of the water has after-effects.

This same narrative is used in music all the time. Technology makes it ever easier to produce near-perfect music.

Every note is perfectly in tune and on time. Every drum hit is perfectly on the grid and even acoustic drums are typically layered with samples of perfect drum hits.

Fewer analog instruments are used in favor of synthesized sounds.

Some of this is aesthetics, but much of it is profit driven.

I don’t think it’s my, or anyone’s, place to say if it’s bad or good though.

If anything, I think we’re just unfortunate to be living in a time between organic analog and digital that’s so good it’s even more organic than analog.

30 or 50 years from now, I think this will all be sorted out. Music will be super easy to make and will sound like musicians in a room like the good ol’ days. Movies will feel rich and deep and real. Video games will finally not feel like Doom with higher resolution.

Of course, then people will long for the simple days of the 2020’s when movies, music and games were so much better.
I don't think "networking" relationships have ever provided any benefit to my professional interests. In my view they're pointless, like an orange without juice in it.

I'd appreciate a better explanation of his viewpoint from someone who has read the book.
