I am generally hyperactive and curious. Stopped working a lot when I had kids, but still always 'doing and learning things'

Except that I ran into a burn-out. The trigger of burn-out is frustration, not fatigue. And they're exponential, and this was my third one. So it was a doozy. It's been 3-4 years now, and I'm starting to get 'normal' again, even if I tire easily.

My point is. During the all-time low of my last burn out, I wanted to do stuff. Nothing fancy, just watch an educational YT video or reading a book or a HN thread. Anything to satisfy my keep my mind occupied during the very long days (working was completely out of the question).. and it was impossible.

It was the most painful experience I have had, and I don't wish it on anyone.

Off course that's a sample point of one. But I wouldn't be so sure of what you're saying.
Tim's book "Almost Everything there is to Know" had a profound impact on me as a child. I was lucky enough to see him give a talk once in Cambridge. He's as disarmingly curious and chaotic as you might expect. A true hero of the mine.
Thanks for the information. It's more just having fun decoding some telemetry protocol and maybe making some interesting graphs. Like maybe there's some interesting things they don't mind you knowing.

And that's what I meant by if possible. Haha.
>Vim is like the Great Glass Elevator, it has a button for moving in every direction

Actually vim is more like the Great Glass Elevator cum Excavator, because it has buttons and levers (to extend your simile) for moving in every direction and performing operations of every kind, and most importantly, all sorts of combinations of the two:

>https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37018215

So, if tomorrow, either more movements or more operations were added to vim, they would automatically play well with the older ones.

This is orthogonality (1), and genius, IMO :)

(1) As they mean in microprocessor ISA design (, I think, not being a hardware guy, but have just read about it a little here and there, while doing assembly language programming years ago).
I hope you are doing better now.
Vim oneliners are useful thing to know even when Vim provides other ways to achieve the same thing. e.g. g ctrl-g for word count.

What's useful about learning and thinking about Vim's command line is the overlap with tools such as sed, which also descends from the ed command.

Being about to use sed is REALLY useful even if it's just for simple Unix pipelines like renaming multiple files or branches in git.

> At some point, people are going to have to start preferring long term survival over short term enjoyment.

Two things on this: A. Electric cars are now viable. B. Even if they weren't, current climate change projections are not a threat to human survival, merely going to make life harder by a hard to quantify amount.
I follow a lot of highly respected researchers and (research minded) operators in the fields I'm interested in. Very often they post about papers of interest on X/twitter or their personal blogs. I also follow a handful of science communicators on YouTube who do short summary videos of papers of interest (Two-Minute-Papers, Anton Petrov, Sabine Hossenfelder, to name a few).

Other times I notice a general trend (ex. increasing discussion of a new paradigm X, more startups raising to work on Y, or a large chunk of talks at an annual conference being variations of Z).

Then I ask the forementioned academics and operators in my circle what papers I should read to get a handle on XYZ and/or simply follow the citations.

Given the amount of followers a lot of these researchers, operators, and science communicators have, I do not think I'm remotely unique in my efforts.
3 years vs 30 years. And you usually regulate the river around the dam so it can't meander, beaver dams make the river meander around them. So after 30 years you maybe return to status quo with a small, abandoned human dam. In that time you would have 10 different riverbed changes with beavers and all that area is now marsh.
Age discrimination definitely.

But also, your resume is to stuffy to be true. I don't believe for a second that you can have proficency at all these skills. That's just not possible. You may have cobbled things using these techs or worked with people who knew these things well, but you can't possibly be an expert at all these things.

Aim for an expert job. Find the skill you master most and look for the jobs who look for that. Look for jobs where being older is being better (Assembly, C++, for instance are technologies that younger people don't learn). Trim your resume to: "I am an expert at X, which I have done here here and there, I've also been doing some other stuff".

Don't fall for "CEOs/managers wont hire me because I am too good". That's bullshit agent talk to hide their mediocrity behind a veil of praise.

Good luck
Bram was a a legend.
So many people dying right now. Hopefully it was not the same cause that so many other people relatively young are dying from right now. Seems he was 62, not so old yet. Wondering what happened to him ?

RIP, I've spent more time in Vim than any other software for sure, still use it to edit my journals and editing single files when needed.
Pretty confused about this post and comments. Seems everyone is just using custom regexps or piping buffers to external commands. That's how I as an emacs user occasionally use vim. And that's because I don't know vim at all and this way I can work around my ignorance.

I refuse to believe vim power users use it like this.

There are many places in the world and levels of income where sitting down at a restaurant after a long day is simply not an option.

Then there are different personalities: depending on the nature of that hypothetical 16-hour workday, I might not want to deal with people and would much prefer to fix something up on my own.

Then there's time: a meal at a nice restaurant will likely take some time. If I've really just worked 16 hours straight, I'd likely be wanting to hit the sack asap rather than waiting around to be served. (I'm excluding fast food both for nutritional reasons and since we're specifically taking about "nice restaurants".)
I wrote a blog post about using Rustler a while back: https://medium.com/multiverse-tech/html-validation-in-phoeni...

The particular use case is obsolete now that Heex templates have arrived in Phoenix, but the associated example code might be useful.
Private methods do need to be in some sort of privileged "single source of truth" for the class definition though - if you were permitted to have a partial class definition in the "public" header file that defined public/protected methods plus all variables, then a single other partial class definition in a separate header or compilation unit it would go some easy towards solving the issue.
But I still don't quite see why compilers can't make assumptions about what changes to class definitions can possibly require recompilation of other compilation units (even if it only applies at certain optimisation levels).

I think that it’s mostly in comparison to HDMI. The latest versions of HDMI don’t really even allow open source implementations.

It’s a shame that all these protocols are gradually closing themselves up. We’re evolving backwards.
> assigning sensory data or semantic emotional data to gauge the sentiment or 'feeling' such a memory could or should elicit

This may not be necessary. It is pretty fundamental in humans, because factual, ethological decision making apparently needs an emotional drive to actually act on a decision, irregardless of the depth of reasoning that ranks optimality of options (this was found by Damasio, I believe). Those who can reason quite well, but suffer from a disconnection to the lymbic system - so they miss a "trigger" "shaking" them in front of the different options - cannot practically decide.

But for a Decision Support System, what the operator needs is a lucid, informed consultant to query about the options. The decision remains with the operator. Machines can act out of a function. There is no necessary need in a machine to divide "quick synthetic assessment" and "explicit analytical assessment", if in theory the machine has enough computation abilities to stick to the latter, and if the latter is what we want - as we want reliability.

One thing is the implementation of Intelligence, another is emulation (of "Also Potentially Intelligent Systems").
Notes and coins are completely different things from a legal standpoint. Only bank notes are unlimited legal tender issued by the central bank. Coins are more of a practical aid for low value cash transaction and are issued by the governments' mints.

You can pay a ten billion debt in 5€ notes, but the recipient can refuse your payment if you show up with five billion 2€ coins, which is like two thirds of the total circulation and would require several of the largest freight ships commonly used on European rivers to deliver.
Except the endgame is the beancounters win. Always.

First phase of a tech rollout gives overly generous hardware, because the end user needs to be won over. Then comes right-sizing because it makes economic sense, and we know things are too generous. Then end users get decoupled from bean counters and the provisioning gets done by a third party corporation, so feedback cycles are broken. At that point, the race to the bottom starts.

I've seen people declare: We provision to the satisfaction of the customer. Which means: If you don't do the effort to complain, all is well. The results is the best people leave, as they won't deal with that. The middlings complain, bothering their managers, so they get labelled troublemakers and are oushed out. The yes men stay and praise the situation. The 9to5ers stay and get paid no matter what, so who cares if msword's text appear multiple seconds after you typed it.
I know Aaron Swartz got a black bar as well. RIP
You wrote that you were absolutely unable to do anything despite trying. I think that fits.

More severe cases of burnout or depression can extend this to basic activities such as eating, hygiene or even speaking - some people may be unable to speak back despite hearing and understanding others. Such cases of course require immediate psychiatric in-patient treatment.
I don't see any shady or exploit-y SEO at Pinterest. Unless I'm missing something the problem is strictly a Google problem.
if the super conductor thing fans out we might not even need to wait for fusion to go mainstream to electrify everything. That tech could take 10,000x the efficiency of batteries.
Bear in mind a lot of it is just concern trolling.

Many of the people saying this have as much interest in improving the things they complain about as anti-renewable comments have a genuine interest in reducing bird fatalities.

Mozilla (and Wikipedia as mentioned by the OP) have been subjected to a long running culture war boycott.

Similar to wind power, I'd guess their continued success in the face of this contributes to the feelings of anger towards them.
Nice, problem is that most just want you to click a phishing link rather than write back to them. How can we waste phishing attackers time? Boot up a docker image and have them ransomware that?
Just learned of the 500 euro bill today. I need to fly to Europe more.

Neat project
Yeah, my “dream” kitchen that I’ll never have would have those instead of a range. And maybe a big slow cooker that could do a turkey.

Edit: oh yeah, add an air fryer and bread machine. And kettle obvs. Preheats water for a pasta pot faster than the stove. Immersion >> conduction heating.

The amount spent on a range buys a lot of gadgets. Not even wiring one up saves a circuit and dedicated run.

I couldn’t live without a dishwasher though…

Its probably closer to what we spent generations evolving towards than the typical diet of shoving processed meats + Big Gulps in your face hole 19 hours a day.

That's kind of two extremes though, isn't it? You fast, or eat crap?

And people get all upset about eating animal fat in quantities equal to protein, but that's what we did until the 70s. Then we stopped, and everyone ended up overweight.

So I agree, traditional diets seem best, and maybe a fast or two. But if we fast, it should be in the late winter, and we should faten up in the late summer/fall too, yes?

That's most inline with humans prior to cities/agriculture.

Then again, we have what... 20,000? 50,000? generations of humanity using animal husbandry, and farming, to change that cycle?

If any random webpage is granted access to the microphone, I would think this could be a problem.
Yeah, this even works well when you cook for a family.

If you have pasta left from the day before and don't mind sweet dishes you can fry the pasta with some butter and eggs (scramble with the pasta) in a pan and add some sugar. Pretty sating meal...

In a late hour after work delirium I like to eat air fried pre-seasoned chicken or turkey breast with toasted gray bread and arugula with some balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The latter usually only when I have the energy left or there is some already clean in the fridge... Is of course only for lazy people when you have an air fryer. The 15 min of waiting are enough time to toast the bread and to put the salad into a bowl and season it. In Germany you can buy cheap organic pre-seasoned poultry in most supermarkets...
I personally didnt see anything wrong with the idea of brexit in a self deterministic way. You couldnt really hold anyone to account in politics or high up in the echelons of power and brexit shows, nothing has changed. Wasnt bothered about perceived EU savings but it shows how the media manipulate the reader/viewer and sadly there isnt a law for that, just like there isnt any privacy laws that I know of. Not that I've ever been taught law or even privacy, but law seems to be a r/ThereWasAnAttempt and privacy seems to be a construct of the developing ego.

imagine if ai basically ended human labor we all had universal basic income and everyone was essentially advised to become an artist or scientist to essentially work on elevating our knowledge. imagine if every starving kid or adult in 3rd world countries were scientists.

This is a really good comment about uniform production and subsidy of base models that would otherwise make a loss.

The margin on a car isn't the margin on the materials and labour of that individual car on the line.

Many base models barely break even and recoup some costs in dealer servicing, finance and whatnot.

If software locks (not subscription) enable more of the subsidising then I'm all for it. Also I'm for it as hackers we can get around the limitations.

Rent seeking is always a bad thing for the consumer however.
You can but I would mostly use that as a reference.

It's not as much about memorizing strings as it's learning a new language.
Just want to second this. My family of four have been waiting for more than a year for our new kitchen (long and boring story) and we’ve managed fine after buying two of these to get by. And we enjoy cooking.

So if you’re just starting out this is a great buy. A full size stove will have a larger element and better heat control but you won’t notice. And they are way better than a gas camp stove.
Interesting article. Among the Dutch Hoes I did not find the most common hoe used in the Netherlands, the 'Schoffel Betuws Model', which is somewhat like the heart hoe, but than with a straight blade.

I recently started weeding at the farming cooperative that I became a member of at the start of July [1]. There is a short instruction movie where you hear one of the farmers give some instruction on how to use the hoe [2]. She explains, in Dutch, that you have to make light movements, just below the surface of the soil.

I enjoy helping out on the farming cooperative. It are simple tasks, that still require some concentration, and with an immediate result. It often brings me into a meditating like state. I meditated a bit in the past, but felt that it often wore off shortly after stopping, but with this that seems less the case, probably because I have achieved something useful. I guess, this is one of the reasons why many people like gardening. I do not have a large garden and working at the farming cooperative often means you have to repeat the same kind of work for much longer than you could have done in my own garden.

I’ve been subscribed to the Economist for a few years now. However I started to dislike their western bias and extensive war coverage.
