Since you admittedly have no understanding of what people are talking about when they refer to social media being toxic then you must not be in sync with the definition of social media that others have. Regardless of whether it makes sense to you, it makes sense to a lot of other people. It would be nice if you weren't so incredibly defensive about your need to express your conception of an idea so that you could try and understand what other people think as well.

New task management methodology in Notion
Hi, I've tried many different techniques, from To-Do lists to Pomodoro, and I've also used the Toggl time tracker. Then I discarded all of those because they had too many disadvantages. Then I created my own way of managing tasks.

Here's what that method includes:
- Task Batching
- You can set a time for each batch to run
- All tasks on one screen
- Gamification
- The title for each batch is the result after it has been executed
- Reflection after each sprint
- Allocation of the task to the phases of the day
And more

Just on the topic of git: git makes it extremely easy to experiment! But far too many people, including those writing tutorials and blog posts, don't understand this. Whenever you're in doubt, just commit your work and make a temporary branch and switch to it. Then you can mess about with merging and rebasing and dealing with the conflicts to your heart's content.

This should be among the very first things we teach to new git users.
How would a bad actor completely bypass this "firewall/ad blocker"?

F# has diverged quite a lot from OCaml and is very readable IMO.

I'm the developer of the Message-Oriented Async RPC library Mats3: https://mats3.io/

Its current sole implementation is based on Java Messaging Service JMS API, and it is used in production for a rather large UCITS unit holder registry on Apace ActiveMQ, and all tests runs fine on Apache Artemis MQ.

Every time a new message broker comes along, I sit up in the chair and wonder a) about their performance (!), and b) whether they have a JMS client implementation, and c) whether Mats3 works with that! When I tested RabbitMQ's JMS client library, I sadly found that there was rather many differences - things I thought was screamingly obvious, was not available. E.g. as basic function as redelivery: "Normal" MQs try to redeliver N times, typically with a backoff between each attempt, and then, when all N attempts fail, it puts the message on the DLQ. Rabbit instead tight-loops the delivery attempts until either the message goes through, or the sun burns out. To be able to use Rabbit, I would have to use the native API, and implement redelivery and DLQing myself, client side. Also, transactions.

I now wonder whether I should make a lower-level abstraction, so that the JMS implementation is converted to a "base" impl, and then the JMS, Rabbit, Bloomberg, NATS, ZeroMQ, Aeron, etc implementations was extensions, or "plugins", or "drivers", to that.

Less time than the US. We also have, in general, faster internet at cheaper prices and better rural connectivity too.

To be clear, I’m not suggesting Europe is better than the US. Just stating that this “innovation could only happen in the US” meme is bullshit.

I literally just said I work for an AI tech company in Europe. And my company is hardly an isolated case.

> I've been wondering: how do we teach kids about addiction (substances, gambling, phone/internet) and its consequences?

I can't speak to device addiction, but I from ages 4-12, we raised our child in a major US city. In that environment, one comes across the direct results of drug addiction occasionally.

While we do talk about addiction and related things, but ultimately it's his experiences that shape his views more than words from dad. One of those was taking a trip to the park for a play dare and being late because we stopped to check on (and call 911 for) a man along the way who was passed out with a needle still stuck in his arm.
Indeed. Essentially, the resources available to the average person are sum_of_all_resources / total_nr_of_people. The amount of a lot of resources (energy, food, mobility, communication) to go around has grown greatly since the industrial revolution. But some resources, like land, minerals, fish in the sea, are just fundamentally limited. The only way to have more on average is to diverse what is available by less people.

Or you can just take more for yourself by stealing it from the less privileged and future generations, which seems to be the current modus operandi...
??

We cannot do much about heat from the core, but that's essentially steady state in the short term (50 year time scales) and declining in the long term (heading towards a cold rock).

We cannot do anything about the output of the sun, we can 'shade' ourselves by blowing bubbles in space or by (very very carefully) altering the atmosphere.

We can more directly alter our CO2 output and work on recovery from the atmosphere.
That is so incredibly cool!!!

>>HFTs provide a lot of value to everyone

I think we are going to have very different views as to what the terms "value" and "everyone" mean

because HFT's provide no value at all to the everyday person on mainstreet just looking get by and maybe put 10% of their wages into the stock market for retirement.

if by everyone you mean "the top 1%" and by value you mean "make lots of money at the expense of mainstreet investors" then sure.
I'd wager that without hfts liquidity would be just fine. Maybe smaller stocks wouldn't become the battleground for hft algos, but aside from that they're mostly penny skimming vultures that create the illusion of liquidity as they hop in and out of stuff at fractions of a second.

You’ve missed mentioning another effect on the area: siphoning cash out.

And of those, a not-insignificant amount comes right back in to Walmart as the employees shop for basics. The rest of the money gets pulled out for corporate capital expenditures never to be seen by the local area again.

Walmart basically runs like a giant cash-vacuum.

I honestly don't know why that's supposed to be relevant. I see plenty of videos of it on YouTube after a 5-second search. No, it's not the HN crowd who have it and post here, but so what, that proves nothing at all. It's actually a bit of a weird outlier to have your ego tied up with promoting someone else's product for free online. "I've never seen it, therefor it doesn't happen" is not really true.

Legally though, "Statements about the "FSD works" should not be taken to imply that this is out of beta and therefor works unambiguously, or is technically actually "full self driving".

The only specious reasoning I'm seeing here is the weird assumption that one high speed rail line in California would meaningfully suppress Tesla car sales. It's competing with air travel, not car ownership.

It's ridiculous enough to suggest that it would suppress the sale of cars generally. It's especially ridiculous to suggest that it would suppress sales of Tesla vehicles. It's a 760 mile round trip between SF and LA — not an issue for an EV if you're doing it occasionally. But someone buying a new car for the specific purpose of driving this route simply wouldn't consider an EV.
>"...we can condense a few 74LSxx circuits into a single GAL."

(LS = Low Power, Schottky) -- 74LSxx are basically 74xx IC's. Those are the kinds used for building simple computers without discrete CPU's (combinations of 74xx IC's as a group function as a simple CPU in those designs...)

Apparently (if this article is correct, and I see no reason why it isn't), several 74LSxx / 74xx IC's can be replaced by a single GAL...

Thus, for the simplest of simple educational breadboard computer designs, a GAL or several GAL's (to implement the simplest of simple CPU's) might be the way to go -- whereas a modern FPGA might be overkill...

This looks very cool ! There is also MyPyC which is not in the comparison table, but worth noting.

They have some benchmarks vs regular python here :

One difference is that MyPyC compiles your code to a C extension, so your are still dependent on python. On the other hand you can call regular python libraries with the normal syntax while, in LPython, the "break-out" syntax to regular libraries isn't straightforward

In any case super exiting to see work going into AOT python

I was responding to the person above who specifically called out the president, ergo federal level.

Second I want to mention there aren’t “Democratic” states or “Republican” states. Just states. Each state is full of Americans. Sometimes they vote for one party and sometimes they vote for another. For example I used to vote Republican and then the party has diverged from what I value. I live in the same state and that hasn’t changed.

To answer your question though which is why can’t states with supposed Democrat leadership or control create legislation for their own states - they can and often do. For example [1].

It’s important to note that Congress can take action at the federal level, and state legislatures can also take action at the state level and they’ll probably be able to do some very precise legislation that the federal government would have trouble with, but then the federal government can use its much greater power (and budget) to do things that any single state or group of states cannot.
