> Good to clarify that it's only methamphetamine that is neurotoxic, the dextroamphetamine used for ADHD medication is not.

Interesting, actually. I've gotten conflicting info on this before.

I've been told by my doctor that he'll happily raise my dosage over time to meet tolerance, but been told by others that developing this tolerance is Bad(TM) because I'd reach neurotoxic levels, and the only way to use stimulants is to constantly take week- or month-long breaks, entirely defeating the purpose of trying to treat ADHD.

My entire problem is that I have periods of being able to do stuff but then long periods of not being able to do anything. The periods of not being able to do anything are the problem!

Do you have any opinion on this?
It burns too fast. I'm not entirely certain of mechanism, but it could break up and vaporize faster than wood with bit higher moisture content. The whole process comes back to sufficient supply of oxygen.
I do.

As a kid, I'd go through those send-me-more info postcards in some magazines ("Computers & Electronics" was probably one) and circle the identifying number of every ad that I was interested. Which resulted in shelves and shelves of catalogs and brochures that I read through. Lots of neat new stuff that I wanted to know about.

(This eventually morphed into getting some wholesaler/distributor accounts, and their catalogs, for some of my childhood businesses.)

When I look at old magazine ads today, lots of neat old stuff that's interesting for different reasons than at that time.

For example, "They were already doing that back then?", "How much did that cost?", "How'd they do that that with tech of the day?", "I remember drooling over that prohibitively expensive, now-obsolete, thing, and I'm strangely still drawn to it.", "Now that I understand grownup things, so that's how these different brands were positioning".

Once Web ads started, in the mid-'90s, I was developed a Web-scraping application, and I went to a lot of trouble to preserve and present ads that came from where I scraped the info. Then ads secretly spying on people started becoming a thing, and it's hard to convey how offensive this was (surveillance of ordinary people was something done by evil geopolitical adversaries, of current and past history). So I started working on Internet privacy, and me -- the kid who loved ads -- ended up writing thousands of ad-blocking rules. https://www.neilvandyke.org/junkbuster/

As for appeal of ads today, I don't have a good intuition, because I know it's not just a display ad, I understand some of the business around it, I know that the Web site is selling out the privacy of its visitors and how that's abused, etc.
1 metric ton of water heated by 10 K stores roughly 10000 kcal or around 12 kWh.

A rule of thumb from https://www.greenmatch.co.uk/green-energy/central-heating-ca... suggests 1 kW of heating per 10 square meters (that's likely the output that's required to maintain an adequate temperature during the n-th percentile coldest days). So on a cold day, a 50 square meter apartment would need 24*5 = 120 kWh.

I'd say it's pretty impractical unfortunately. Water is already the best (practical) choice in terms of heat stored per weight, and likely also per volume, and cost.

Do you? Or do you just say/write/comment that you expect that? Actual expecting would be refusing to buy a phone that didn't provide said updates. Otherwise it's just an HN comment, with no (real, physical, 'economic') role to play, certainly not that of an expectation.

It's a thin, twisty rubber gasket held in place by a flimsy plastic back.

And in my experience with anything involving thin rubber gaskets, they degrade and just flat-out break incredibly easily.

E.g. with wristwatches, it's common knowledge that as soon as you replace the battery in a water-resistant watch, you shouldn't consider it water-resistant anymore. You might get lucky once or twice in recreating the same seal it had at the factory, but you should probably assume you didn't.
That was my initial thought, but importing them to Indonesia is also illegal. And if Dow really believes that reusing shoes is better, why not just say so?

> I’d say the bigger factor, and luckily one that scales well, is teaching the right thing to the student at that moment.

I agree that this is a bigger factor for most in the current environment. I'd argue that this is already a solved problem though with Khan Academy for free. The benefit from 1-on-1 tutoring beyond that has little to do with understanding what the student knows and teaching what's next because that problem is already solved to a degree that is almost indistinguishable from what a skilled tutor can provide. The benefit comes mainly from the tutor being able to figure out why the student answered a question wrong and directly addressing it, speeding up deep understanding.

GreenArrays use manycore chips based on a processor array approach. So they're using a FORTH-like stack machine on the individual cores, running serial code and not addressing much memory - but that still leaves open the problem of programming the system as a whole.

> it's just more appropriate to compare it to assemblies and bytecodes than to compare it to high-level languages.

But the FORTH community thinks of it as a high-level language, not just as a machine target. And there are additional difficulties wrt. thinking of FORTH in such terms, such as FORTH being an untyped language and providing only limited ways of structuring programs and data, or enforcing modularity. This means that it will probably be quite hard to develop larger programs using FORTH.

I think a lot of the people talking about battery replacement intervals being so long that it's pointless for this or that reason don't realize how quickly LiPo pouch batteries swell up in hot climates.

Every mobile android device I've used through a desert summer has ruined its own battery from charging in the heat. It's basically a yearly replacement schedule if I stay through summers. Sometimes more often if I require the device and it's entirely useless with a swollen battery.
I hear you about support being a big deal. I'm still happily using my S10+, and am pissed that it just received its last update. It's working absolutely fine, and I have less than zero desire to 'upgrade' to a phone that doesn't have an audio jack, SD card support, and the ability to use swipe-style card readers to pay, three features I use on a daily basis. And yet before the year is up, I'll need to move on for security reasons alone.
Xfinity/Comcast in the USA does the same if you use their wifi router: it broadcasts a separate AP called “xfinity” that any xfinity customer can use.

There are some interesting notes and links related to the course on the instructors website: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/novak/cs378.html

Check out the course outline as well as the links on “Lectures with drawings”, “Vocabulary” and “Directory for Program Files”. There are also some links to Clojure resources in there that may be useful as well as some study guides and questions.

I might just try to work through the PDF, looks like a pretty interesting course.
Yes!

While I haven’t done so myself, I looked into home-made telescopes as a way of getting much larger apertures on a budget.

There is a whole group of hobbyists making primary mirrors up 80cm diameter for an order of magnitude lower cost than any off-the-shelf telescope with the same dimensions.

Of course this takes hundreds of hours of work (fun!) and weeks of waiting while the glass is sent off to be mirror coated.

> All the condo units but one were owned by the company. That’s a huge red flag, to the point that you’d never be able to get a federally-insured loan to buy in this building. Generally anything less than 50% owner-occupied can’t be financed - you’d have to pay cash, your real estate attorney will tell you to run away, etc.

Of course, but in OP's story the owners bought the condo years before the real estate company had come in to buy all the other units.

So I agree that this would be a red flag but unfortunately this red flag still exists even if the condos are fully owner-occupied at the time you buy them.
That would increase the cost of the phone, since they would have to support and test the phone long past the expected lifetime. But, this is marketed as a budget phone, so they aren't going to do that.
You don't have to go it alone. Hissp does have documentation (which is pretty thorough) if you want to try, but there's also a community chat on Gitter/Matrix: https://gitter.im/hissp-lang/community

If you know how to do it in Python (or Hy, probably) the community chat can help show you how to translate it to Lissp.

The Lissp REPL also shows the Python compilation before evaluating it, so if you're already familiar with Python, that can help you get a handle on Hissp.
What if the docker daemon is on a storage server and the host volume of /stuff contains, say, 10 terabytes of photo album content?

> If you tell me to run

That seems about right?

And then you note:

> What I don't do is create a directory someplace and manually edit files and mount them.

But if /stuff is photos, and another container, say, runs ingestion tools, or some other photo collection processing, you don't let it touch the same data volume?

Looking at your repo, I see your docker-compose volumes map e.g. data to data …

volumes:
- data:/data

… which is what I do, so I guess I'm not following what you're saying to do differently.

For instance, mounting a volume that can be edited by other containers lets me insta-move large files or sets of files between steps of containers, by container a doing a move not copy from its work path to its destination path watched as an incoming path by container b.

I played around with that and pgtrgm (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/pgtrgm.html) a bit but unfortunately didn't have great results.

Oops, that's not a good trade-off; does it always take that long when you start LeanCreator on your machine, or was it - as I would expect - only the first time it required to locate the debugger? If it repeats with each start I should add an option to disable this search or reduce the timeout. Can you try whether it also takes that long if you directly start lldb on the command line?
Thanks! Seems so simple after all.

Sure, there are trade offs in skipping the compositor. But the claim was:

> It is a display protocol, responsible for displaying things. A compositor is a must for that, it is not additional complexity at all.

Which is just false; a compositor isn't a must unless you move the goalposts beyond "displaying things".

> You can allow a third-party program to control your windows’ state via any IPC mechanism you choose.

I guess you could, by adding a lot of API surface; has literally anyone ever done this, or is it just a hypothetical solution? Because I'm not aware of any existing compositor that lets you plug in a window manager.

That one is legit.
Variable names are not arbitrary. They have meaning. Single-letter lower-case variables hardly cover all possible names.

Mathematica, just like, real mathematics, allows you to have variable names with subscripts/superscripts/greek-letters etc. E.g. a_g is distinct from a_f (which are both rendered in rich text)

My recommendation is not that everyone buy Mathematica, but that sympy figures out a way to allow every sequence of letters and numbers (that start with a letter) to automatically become a variable without declaration.

Strengthening this comment because to those who haven't used them they look useless.
It works surprisingly well and you can see examples if you look up the documentation of GPT-Index or Langchain (both are libraries designed to enabled these type of use-cases, among others). Also, you can get fancy, for instance, you can have GPT3 (or any LLM) create multiple "layers" of snippets (for instance, you can have snippets of the actual text, then summaries of a section, then summaries of a chapter, and embed all those and pull in the relevant pieces). Or, you can go back-and-forth with the prompt multiple times to give/get more information.

I'm sure the techniques will evolve over time, but for now, these sorts of patterns (pre-index, then augmenting the prompt at query-time) seem to work best for feeding information/context into the model that it doesn't know about. The other broad family of techniques is around trying to train the model with your custom information ("fine-tuning", etc), but I think most practitioners will agree that's currently less effective for these sorts of use-cases. (Disclaimer: I'm not an expert by any means, but I've played around with both techniques and try to keep up-to-date on what the experts are saying).

The point I'm making is exactly the point I wrote. I could only repeat myself with practically tgr same words to restate it.

I explicitly said there are some people who exhibit these qualities, not that all, or even most do. The point was, as I said already, that "don't hate the player, hate the game" isn't valid, because those players exist regardless of the game. "don't hate the player, hate the game" implies that there could be such a thing as a different game, and changing that would resolve the complaint. I am saying there is no game that doesn't still have the exact same problem, and so it makes no sense to "don't hate the player, hate the game". Nowhere in that expression does it say, or even imply, that everyone is one of those players.

What good does this ridiculous hyperbolic jump from no one to everyone do?

"don't hate the player, hate the game" is just some deflecting bs that douchebags say to excuse themselves for being exactly that sort of user parasite, or by merely hapless dupes.

I definitely relate to this but frequently challenge myself and then overcome it. You just have to bite the bullet and carve out some time to try them out.

The key thing to understand is that all these things are shrouded in incomprehensible jargon and alien sounding names that make it incredibly intimidating to get started. But the fact is, it is a wide but shallow pool of jargon sitting on top of the same old computing fundamentals that have been around since the 1970s.

You will find if you know your fundamentals, then the jargon is far less difficult to overcome than it seems. You just need a bit of exposure and if you spend any amount of time playing with the tech it just starts to happen by osmosis. (If there are fundamentals you aren't solid on, treat it as an opportunity to bed that in - even these things are not generally super complex in the end).

In this extreme example I think probably a bind mount might make sense, especially if the files are already there. But the named volume would just be stored in /var/lib/docker/volumes/some-volume-name, so as long as that /var/lib has 10TB I don't see the problem.

I can use my sftp container [1] to be able to sftp directly into a volume, but I've not yet transferred 10TB with it :)
