That bridge is protected by a lot of systems, I mean they even tried smoke covers on it.

So if this is at reach of Ukraine missiles and those can't be stopped by Russian system, this could be huge.

Road legal is entirely a state thing. The federal law is all about what is legal to import or offer for sale.

Research might be hard, harder than whatever else the rest of the world is doing, but the tenure system is not giving us the best researchers. It rewards those that are at the right place at the right time, it's mostly luck of the current spectacle, and then it sets those "accomplished" people up for failure as they eventually see their luck running out. They are very motivated to use less and less ethical tools for years to keep producing "results".

If you opt out of ER visits and are ok with being left to die if you’re in a car accident, sure, don’t wear a seatbelt.

Also, you know who dies in much greater numbers than pedestrians due to vehicle crashes? The pedestrians walking by the bicyclists.

So should pedestrians be forced to wear massive armors of steel when they walk around?

Oh wait, that’s how so many awful American cities are designed. With absolutely no space for pedestrians who have to drive everywhere.

In reality there’s only 1 source of danger on streets. Massive 2 ton vehicles that endanger their own occupants and everyone around them. Take away the 2 tons of metal usually carrying 1 person and everyone is safe.
>For one person who doesn't need to carry a lot

Transport e-bikes can take several people, furniture etc. No problem bicycling in bad weather either, people regularly bike in ice and snow.

Speaking as someone who reads a lot of resumes, my advice is to use space wisely, focus on what exactly you did (too many resumes talk about the team or company) and why you're awesome, and (whenever possible) tailor your resume for each job to prioritize what matches the job description.

Also, while I understand the point of the one-pager, with the massive number of applications I see, a one-pager that's light on relevant info is going to get passed over in favor of a longer resume that highlights germane skills ans experiences.

Ask HN: Looking for new hobbies to relax, grow or make friends, any ideas?
I'm a man in my late 30s, looking for some new hobbies to try that will help me relax, grow, and make friends. I'm open to anything, but I'm particularly interested in hobbies that are:

- Relaxing. I don't do this enough. Maybe something outside?
- Social. I want to make new friends.
- Challenging. I want to learn new things and challenge myself. (eg learning a new skill)

I'm not sure where to start, so I'm hoping for some suggestions from the community. What are your favourite hobbies? What do you recommend for someone who is looking for something new?

I'm particularly interested in hobbies that can help me relax, as I'm not very good at it and don't do it enough. I'm also looking for hobbies that can help me grow my skills or knowledge, or that can help me meet new people.

I'm open to any suggestions, so please feel free to share your favourites!
I took a bunch of mushrooms and had the same idea, but when I pitched it to my freshman Physics professor, he told me I should "take more physics."

I thought he was insulting me, but apparently I would have made a decent physicist.
For me, those are two different modes of thinking. As in:

Mode 1: I've accepted that chores are something I have to do.

I have "system 2" reasons to be doing them, such as "keeps me in good standing with my spouse", "makes home stay pleasant to be in, as opposed to a biological hazard", or "not doing them will later make me question my status as an adult human being". Those are all "system 2" things though, meaning they provide approximately zero motivation at the moment when I'm attempting, or considering, to do a chore.

What works here is, using "system 2" motivation to refine my TODO list - an activity that is self-rewarding by giving me that "oh I am very smart" feeling. And then, when it's time to do something, having checkboxes to tick provide some immediate reward I can parse "in the moment". Not much, but better than the default, which is no reward at all.

Mode 2: All this is modern recreation of the Sisyphus story.

Chores are a waste of life. It's one of the biggest tragedies of humanity that we haven't yet automated away or designed away the need for maintenance work. Developing self-cleaning, self-maintaining technologies and solutions sounds like a line of work I'd like to be in.

--

The important bit of personal growth for me was to put a force field between those two modes of thinking, so that I can still process thoughts related to Mode 2, without having them interfering with my ability to do anything.
Really interisting that this is article is from 2004. To me this gives strong IndieWeb vibes. It's a shame that all the things that require an own domain are never going into the mainstream, not to mention the user experience of having to manually sign a comment before posting it.
No. I've been dragging my small (106 line) .vimrc around pretty much unchanged for at least a couple of decades. It's mostly just setting different colour schemes for different filetypes. I've been a vi user for about 4 decades.

I need a small, fast text editor that works over remote connections, works on Linux and Windows, needs no configuration or plugins to be useful, and just works and gets out of my way. VSCode does not fulfill most of those needs. Plain old vim (and not neovim) does.

Netflix was great but it got more crowded due to everyone wanting a piece of the cake. Now there are few shows or bunch of movies interesting to me that are either distributed evenly on multiple services or not available at my location at all.

It's bonkers how many laws there are against perfectly ordinary and normal things like importing cars in the Land of the "Free".

In the UK you basically just need it to have some form of braking system and nothing likely to slice open or skewer pedestrians as you drive past, and be able to insure it.
I have it similarly. For me, if I can't "play around" or explore something new in a while, my motivation and focus drops to zero.

On the other hand, most days I'm just too mentally exhausted to work on programming when I get home. So I rarely get to scratch that itch on my own time.

To get around that, every now and then I take some time while working on some issue to do something new, like play around with programming language constructs and exploring the limits of the language.

It's not always easy to do though, with deadlines and whatnot. So can be a real struggle at times.
It's not 10 days; it's (up to) almost a month:

That said, it sounds like payments are normally delayed by 10 days from checkout.

Of course, apparently some payments "could be delayed until August", so all I can say with authority is that this is a mess.

Sure but what I quoted just said "style" - nothing about "bad style", "user-hostile style", etc. (Javascript would be out of scope since it's not CSS)

And that's before we consider that "style" can include "the style of writing" - should everything be written in the plainest, driest prose?
I suppose so. Looking at the list, a lot of them can be relaxed for grid storage. They can be run at absolutely any temperature, for instance.

Are Spotify, Apple Music & co. losing customers? The music streaming space isn't massively geo-blocked or hampered by content exclusivity.
What are the alternatives now?

Streaming services have crippled themselves (collectively) by hoarding content; you now need to sign up for several if you want access to everything.

And pay-per-movie (eg itunes) is just ridiculously expensive, $10/movie, that's a whole day's salary in poorer countries.

The industry needs to stop bleating about ordinary people 'stealing' from them, and come up with better business models/practices that match what people are willing to pay.
> So profiteering off government contracts is nothing more than the extraction of wealth

I would agree with this statement. However I wouldn't call this capitalism. It doesn't seem like "free-market" anything when the government is footing the bill. There's an enormous amount of cronyism... was the work actually bid out, and evaluated fairly? Is the work even something that actually needs to be done, or is it more of a make-work project, or a spend-to-justify-our-budget project? Were small, non-connected firms allowed to bid, or was it an add-on to a pre-existing engagement? Private companies, especially large ones, are guilty of the same but government usually tops the list for wasteful and inefficient spending.

So yes, it is indeed profiteering, and these huge consulting firms have perfected it. But it's only because the government keeps rewarding them over and over, so who can blame them for scooping it up? But this is not capitalism.
That's one reason why the UK is considered DIY vehicle heaven. And also why it is very much a pity that it dropped out of the EU because that gave a neat little loophole for a while.
Because it's been here before the formatter and will be here after it. I don't think there is any support for any formatting tool, except the general act of formatting for every formatting tool. And if you find your config has multiple lines just to format languages you've touched, then it's time to build a plugin or search for one. And if you find it, and it's quite not like you want, extend it as most plugins are open source and free.

If the tool doesn't suit you, build your own or find another.
For me, for chores specifically, that sense of motivation comes from a lifetime of past failures. I walked away from a kitchen full of dishes when I moved out of my first apartment, face red in shame, and the landlord ate my deposit. Other friends of mine have had infestations, because their food messes didn't make it back to the kitchen. I saw their cleaning/extermination bills. There is a distinct fear "if I don't manage to break this down into bite-sized pieces, I will suffer XYZ embarrassing/costly consequence" which truly motivates me. And now with a child, "if I don't manage to instil this habit into this child without making it palatable and manageable..."

There are other consequences too -- in-laws induce shame. Other visitors induce shame, but if I have them every other week, the panic-clean before the arrival of in-laws is only slightly bigger than the routine-clean. And with 2 adults and a child with ADHD, messes build fast if we don't stay on top of it.

So when I say ticking the box is it's own reward... really it's the "I'm keeping the monster at bay with the stroke of a pen at the end of 10 minutes of drudgery."
That's what I used to do too. It works great but I wrapped it up in an app for myself so that I could include scheduling, favouriting to plan my day and some other UX enhancements over a .txt file.
It does, you'd just have to install a python plugin that registers the autocommand-- or leave out the plugin and register the autocommand yourself. The (n)vim/emacs communities aren't fond of integrating the hot new thing for each language directly into the editor-- I think this is a lesson that comes from being 50 years old!

As for whether it would be buggy, I'd doubt it? Unless Black's principle of operation is different from most formatters, it should just write the formatted contents to the file, right? The autocommand you'd use would just run Black on your current file on each save. So where % is Vim's symbol for the name of the currently open file, :silent! suppresses stdout/stderr from the formatter, and :! runs a command:

autocmd BufWritePost *.py silent! !<format_cmd> %

(Don't quote me on that, but it should be essentially correct. I'm not at a computer right now.)

Actually, it looks like you can install an (n)vim plugin from the official Black repo here:

https://github.com/psf/black/blob/main/plugin/black.vim

And then the autocmd would be

autocmd BufWritePost *.py silent! Black

This stuff is documented here: https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/integrations/editors....

Anyway, I think it's actually a really cool effect of doing this that you realize a lot of the scaffolding underneath most editors _isn't_ that complicated! It's totally understandable :)
Haha 1-2 hours ... Maybe things have improved since 2018 but I was up to about 25 hours and still not satisfied with the results. That might be just being a perfectionist or coming from another IDE and trying to replicate something. But 1-2 hours is not a reasonable amount of time to set aside to set up a truly usable custom ide with neovim to acquire the knowledge to drive it.
J&J wasn't accidentally hurting people with experimental drugs.
