I once read a tweet that said "the most effective people I know just work on the most important thing, and they get way more done than the people I know who obsessively manage their time". Oddly enough, when I thought about it, I realized I could pretty easily think of the most important thing at any given time.

I like to stay organized. For random thoughts, brainstorms, arbitrary URLs or bits of information, I use Google Keep and eventually migrate them into OneNote for more permanence. For files, I use an Unsorted folder in OneDrive, and then eventually migrate them into my structured OneDrive for permanence. Organizing and migrating all this built-up information becomes a leisurely meditation on category theory. It's a great way to procrastinate productively.

When I actually want to be productive, I entirely ignore my information ecosystem, ask myself "what important thing am I avoiding?" and then work on that.
Maybe "premium" would be a better word than "luxury"? Apple are trying to be the premium option and people like showing off the premium items they own (which is referred to in scientific circles as 'costly signalling').

Does that make it clearer?

The good news is that it's reversible. When you stop feeding antibiotics to animals, the amount of resistance bacteria in the gut seems to reduce as well.

Additionally, good management practices (clean pens, good hygiene, low stress) and proper feed could make the use of antibiotics in animals (almost) obsolete.
But the result will suck. Sure you can do it but you'll be competing against Apple and Samsung who have invested billions and have the results to show for it. And you'll also end up as a system integrator because millions doesn't buy you your own chips so you'll be at the whim of the other companies investing billions like Qualcomm.

This is surprisingly old news, but still somewhat interesting. I'm curious what led to this being posted today?
If the data is as they say sent via http then surely they can show a sample request with what data is _actually_ sent from the device instead of the list of what Qualcomm says might be sent (which was probably drafted by CYA lawyers instead of engineering)?

Exposing a C interface from rust is possible, but a bit of a pain.
In the past few months my family has moved to Basecamp and it’s pretty awesome.

Sharing a schedule and having it sync to everyone’s calendar app is handy. Also being able to assign tasks and attach metadata is great.

The other day I was assigned a task that required getting something from the hardware store. Opened up the task and there were photos and measurements attached.

Before Basecamp we used multiple communication channels for this.

Also, it seems that our data is open enough for me. I can export Basecamp to disk if I ever want to migrate out.
Disappointed this isn't related to `M-x eww`.
The documentation looks better than when I was trying to write some Rust with GTK (2020), when it was basically an output of the C functions that could be called...
React type APIs (e.g. Jetpack Compose too) are interesting but actually I find myself wishing for OOP and inheritance back again. I'd probably quite like a combined approach. Raw functions calling each other have a bunch of weaknesses:

• They aren't really stateless because UI is full of implicit state. So the whole functional UI thing isn't really true. You just end up with odd alternative syntax for what would be object properties, but declared as magical local variables that retain their values across calls.

• No inheritance, interfaces or object identity means no way to write generic code! Want to write a function that locates every button in a UI and applies some behavior to it? Tough, you can't! (in react of course you can drop down to the DOM but in Compose there's no DOM to drop down to). I found this comes up a lot even in simple cases and is a serious limitation.

• "Design systems" (themes) are all custom widgets. There's not really any concept of an underlying widget toolkit with flexible visual styling. Combined with inability to write generic code, it means if you want to port to a different theme or customize anything beyond trivial aspects of the existing theme like font or colors, you have to actually rewrite your code.

• Composition for everything yields enormous amounts of boilerplate. You can't say "define a button that's the same as a regular button except with one additional aspect" and have it automatically stay up to date as the underlying button widget evolves. Instead you have to duplicate the entire API of the button and clone it into your own API, propagating the values by hand.

The annoying thing is that Kotlin already has some features for managing composition, but it requires you to use classes and interfaces. The "everything is a function" philosophy means you lose all those features. Composition also bloats up APIs because there's no longer any distinction between something that's relevant only to people customizing a control (i.e. a protected method) and something that's meant for the user of the control (i.e. a public method or property).

So I'm definitely feeling like sticking my neck out and defending OOP here. Probably there'll be a swing back towards OOP or a similar-but-rebranded form of it in future, as people realize that things like inheritance, subtyping etc were invented for valid reasons.

This doesn't seem like a bad thing. Many people treat Ikea furniture as disposable and this seems more environmentally friendly. If people are happy with a cardboard coffee table, seems like a win.
I've never seen this but I loved "Racing the Beam" which is also about the 2600. Will definitely check this one out.
No, egui is an immediate mode framework which draws its own widgets completely using EGL.

I echo this. My family member is also in HVAC and does refrigeration for commercial companies.

With residential, you have angry families calling you because they're hot.

With commercial refrigeration, you have an angry company calling you because their fridge filled with millions of dollars worth of product is broken. It's very difficult for him to say no to things like that, and he's on call often.

I feel like people often look down on trades because in their experience they can do it themselves. This is mostly true, but that's because people are usually doing things with their own home.

Once you get into commercial stuff, thats when things get really hectic and stressful. You have to be certified for a myriad of things, especially since commercial equipment uses materials that you may never find in a residential home.

AFAIK it is the newest meme stock, it popped up on the reddit front page the previous few days.
I think there's a small but significant difference between putting things "in public" vs. "on the cozy web" in that (with not a lot of effort) the cozy web is practically safe enough for most folk.

We've reached a point now where the average person feels some anxiety about their future employer seeing an unsanitized public blog, but future employers aren't poking into a Discord and de-pseudonymizing usernames. Nor is my worst enemy; he's a meathead and lacks the savvy to do that, nor the competency to hire someone to do it for him (yeah, I said it, and you know what you did so don't act like it ain't true, name redacted!).

We've gone past the generation that thought if we lived with our private lives in public everyone would realize that everyone is human and be chill about that and we've built the infrastructure to have public selves and pseudonymous selves that (for most people) won't get cracked because it's not worth the hassle. Sure, nation-states and criminal syndicates still have the resources and incentives to do that kind of cracking, but we can only hide from them by staying all the way off the Internet, and we've definitely reached the point where that leaves one with a massively de-enriched lived experience.
That's a decent point.

But are you saying there's no difference between known bad actors (Google, FB, etc) and DDG / Kagi?
Your comment needs to be first. The author is stretching the evidence so far here. I hope the Hacker News audience understands that this article is presenting a very fringe theory, with a lot of holes.

But the similarity of pronouns across the world is still a very interesting subject to research. Johanna Nichols has done a lot of work in that area.

Yep, there's a lot of stuff that properly using general relativity would address in a much cleaner way than dark matter.

Ignoring the relativistic nature and nonlinearity of GR is a very large problem with FLRW and other toy models, but they have become embedded in cosmology to the point where it's heresy to question them.

> The profit motive is what creates abundance.
Abundance for whom? Surplus is allocated by the few at the top (board of directors, c-suite, etc.). Why should they choose to give it to the workers? Walmart and McDonalds certainly understand this -- pay your employees low enough that they qualify for food stamps, and you'll be able to make the taxpayers foot the bill ("government largesse").

There is obviously nothing wrong with charity per se; GP is simply pointing out the obvious inefficiency in using charity to improve the lives of the poor (for example). Why not just pay them more to begin with (say through a democratic organization of the workplace in which no worker would ever choose to pay themselves below-subsistence wages)? Instead, we let money accumulate at the top, and then charity sometimes trickles a tiny bit of it back down.

> Contrast this voluntary charity with state mandated coercion. Violence is implicit.
By state-mandated coercion do you mean taxes to fund welfare programs? Violence is already implicit in the creation and perpetuation of the working poor. Welfare is a necessary tool to make sure that the poor are not so starved that they might rise up against the ruling class, "having nothing to lose but their chains". Again the inefficiency here is clear -- welfare would be unnecessary if our basic needs were met. Welfare would be unnecessary if workers had democratic control of their own workplaces. Instead, we have a "voluntary" market in which the worker is coerced to participate at risk of starvation and rewarded by wages that have not kept up with increases in productivity for 40 years. The market thus violently creates the _need_ for charity.

> Why did it take until the late 20th century for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to develop [...] every major country has long lineages of specialized competitive martial arts and tremendous incentive to find martial arts which worked and quick feedback loops?

Well, do societies have a tremendous incentive to find unarmed martial arts which work?

Mind that this is about the public image. (They expressly state that it is not the historians, those with expertise in fine detail and congruence with out-of-frame context, who they are worried about.

The thing is, yes it sucks for that developer, but many of these apps should have been features of the OS and work better with that deep integration. NightShift is significantly nicer than F.lux. Spotlight search and Notifications (Sherlock and Growl) are things that make sense to be built into the operating system.
While I do not, and almost certainly will not, code with Rust, it was very interesting to read this and compare it to doing GUI programming with Gtkmm (the C++ wrapper for GTK), which I've done for more than 20 years.

Some things seem a bit weird and ugly, and some idioms seem rather nice. Overall, not a clear win but certainly worth seeing the differences and similarities and thinking about them a little bit.

I need a source for this, because my personal security model rests on the idea that Apple is NOT doing something like this.
Flies, worms poorly predict drugs' lifespan effects in mice, study indicates
Absolutely agreed. I'm lucky to work on a ReasonML front-end codebase and the type system and immutability are a real pleasure to work with. The strong typing lets you code against the compiler, and there are many instances of "if it compiles it works" that crop up throughout development. There's no fear of refactoring code that you didn't write, because the compiler will warn you about consequences on the far end of the codebase that you didn't even know existed.

As a result of all of that, the app feels very solid to use and has comparatively few runtime errors.

While I understand this article is primarily meant to be comedic, the statement regarding slaughter rates is somewhat misleading. Roughly 50% of beef is from steers (gelded bulls). Heifers (cows never bred, not mentioned in the article) coming in at a close second near 30%. Cows make up 20% (roughly evenly split between dairy and non-dairy), and bulls are the rest.

Steers are preferred because they dress out nearly 70 lbs over heifers on average. They also beat bulls on average while being much more mild mannered, so it's worth the effort of gelding.

USDA publishes periodic reports on "Livestock Slaughter" if you would like more details.

sounds great for productivity to have someone with your role in any office :) doesn't even matter if the person you are helping is less qualified as you or moreso, pair programming when stuck is one of the great joys of this profession imo and I dont get to do it as much as would be ideal. Maybe I should go to others more but im always stuck with my workload as it is.

On a side note I'd love to go with noise cancelling headphones but im afraid of tinnitus - have you used them much, did you experience it?

Came here to say the same! Though it's a bit fun that when they upgrade the moon to use a nuclear reactor to power several mass drivers, they mention how the satellite can be repurposed to provide power to earth now... which makes sense. The book (and its part 1 book, Delta-V) overall point about the value and utility of asteroid and lunar mining to bootstrap whole economies around the Lagrange points and that sending that matter back down to earth makes very little sense was pretty compelling, and relatedly that building a colony on Mars probably makes very little sense vs building in space with artificial gravity and artificial radiation shielding, where you're not subject to a giant gravity well to go back to earth/elsewhere in solar system.

Which is probably the problem here. There is no obvious reason that Snapchat should have a chatbot at all, but it's one way to incorporate the Hype of the Year, so... (We saw the same thing with crypto showing up in weird places a couple of years ago, for the same reason)

You still haven't engaged on the idea that we haven't been doing full fidelity calculations based on vanilla general relativity and doing so yields non-negligible impacts on the lensing apparently. If you are using models which were meant to have their numbers crunched on an 80s pc then its possible it got too dumbed down. The assertion is that the theoretical error bars were improperly computed and should have been much larger.

I love IKEA but these choices are not structurally-equivalent substitutes. They'll start becoming trash the (second) time you try to rebuild them when you move. It's the same garbage that Walmart has been selling.

Yes you buy something for 1/3rd the cost of something made of real wood but it'll last 1/20th the time.

What is particularly irritating is when you try to insert a cam or a screw and it totally mutilates the particle board rendering it useless or at least severely compromising the structure.

I'd rather see prices stay higher (so I'm screwed in a way that I'm aware) instead of getting screwed in unknown ways.
Ineritance and subtyping are great for when you want a lot of the code to be "This thing, but a little bit different," and that's a problem that I see come up a lot in GUIs. I'm inclined to agree with the idea that GUIs are one of the better applications for an OOP approach.

Tech-bros were by far the best paid class in the middle class.

People laid off from big tech are now kicking it back in SE-Asia with the severance money they got. No tears will be shed for them.

They'll easily find other employment outside of big-tech. They'll still be middle class.

I'd put my energy caring more about underpaid teachers, doctors, nurses, emergency personnel, or other the lower classes of the middle class that got laid off, if I were you, instead of defending overpaid tech-bros that got a dose of reality.
I find the whole situation fascinating. Bed Bath continued to sell hundreds of millions of shares while they were preparing for bankruptcy and retail investors (or meme stock investors) continued to buy them. I assume Bed Bath did all the paperwork that is necessary (like calling out risks, that the raised capital will go to creditors first, etc) for such a stock sale. But it is clear they were doing it out of bad-faith to the new investors.

As usual Matt Levine's take on this is a good read.
For me it was the other way around; We had the episode "Uncle Podger Hangs a Picture" from Three Men in a Boat as a chapter in our English textbook and i remember our Teacher explicitly mentioning his middle name as "Klapka" since it was such an odd name.
