> Just as Christianity, in its early era, readily incorporated pagan beliefs and iconography into its developing creed and rituals, Buddhism was very accepting of preexisting Indian beliefs. It simply reframed them in Buddhist terms.

This is an important point. Over the decades, I have seen it claimed on news-for-nerds sites like this, that Buddhism denied the supernatural entirely. Yet Buddhism as it is actually historically attested from its earliest eras (and attempts to reconstruct some kind of “pure” ur-Buddhism are dubious) show ready acceptance of e.g. the Vedic pantheon, with only the caveat that the gods, too, are stuck in samsara.
> PDF was great when most documents needed to be printed

Actually PDF still rules the roost.

Any professionally printed thing you see, whether as small as a humble corporate business card, or as large as a billboard will have been provided to the print shop as a PDF.

In the past, you would have had to send the DTP file and all the accompanying assets, including the font if you were using a non-standard font.

Now you just send the print shop a PDF. Job done. Its a win-win for both parties.

i'm not sure; i made a few mistakes in each of them as i was writing them, but they were both working by the time i first tested them. i do feel like the insertion sort was maybe a little more challenging?

edited to add: someonefromca spotted a bug in the insertion sort; where it says

if (tmp > a[j-1]) break;

it should say

if (tmp >= a[j-1]) break;

which is both a performance bug and also breaks the stability property the algorithm otherwise has

this is some evidence in favor of your point that insertion sort is more error-prone; even if i could have made the same error in the bubble sort, i didn't, and possibly that was because the rest of the algorithm required less mental effort?
https://thefitness.wiki/routines/r-fitness-basic-beginner-ro... worked great for me despite being 40+, overweight and sedentary for the prior 14 years.

I wouldn't recommend any changes to it, other than taking it easy if you need to.

The biggest struggle I had when I was totally out of shape was just how tough even a light workout was. It's fine to take it easy and not increase the weights you're lifting aggressively, for instance. Or even to go to the gym twice a week instead of three times. If it's not an easy and fun part of your life you'll fall off the wagon.

Basically you can be a physical wreck at 40, to a degree that a 23 year old guy can't even comprehend. All simply because you didn't exercise.

Just keep showing up regularly, doing the compound lifts SAFELY but heavy enough to tire out your muscles, and eating your protein (100g+ daily, there are formulas to calculate it precisely).

It might take a little longer for us older sedentary guys but everything will come together.

A good personal trainer (or physical therapist if you start hitting issues?) is absolutely worth it if you can get one, one advantage we older guys have is we're more likely to have the spare cash for this.
Within a few km, you're probably better off with Wifi and outdoor, directional antennas. Not sure about regulations, though.

Or, a cellular modem, which would save the installation of outdoor antennas and data-only plans are cheap.

The authors/others interested in anxiety, may be interested in the paper: Dreaming Is the Inverse of Anxious Mind-Wandering:

https://psyarxiv.com/k6trz

Written by me and discussed on HN here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19143590

There is a coherent argument to be made that the problem of misplaced anxiety is so prevalent/fundamental to the species, that dreaming is a built in mechanism for diagnosing it.

A summary of the paper is:

Anxious states involve: The default mode ("imagination") network, high levels of the fight-or-flight neurotransmitter norepinephrine, and an active amygdala.

REM dreaming states involve: The default mode ("imagination") network, extremely low levels of the fight-or-flight neurotransmitter norepinephrine (80% below base levels), and (surprisingly) an inactive amygdala.

The content of dreams can be viewed as inverse anxious mind wandering, where situations we find ourselves in actually encourage confrontational behaviour, however we are able to observe our avoidant behaviour with clarity that is not so present in waking life. (This also indicates that anxious structures are not really associated to the neurological state, as in we still seem to follow our anxious patterns even when norepinephrine levels are low, implying that the structures that represent them in our brain are not affected by different levels of norepinephrine/must exist outside of something so variable.)
How did they disappoint? Can you please add more on this?

Sure, you won't "need" them. But it's very likely that you'll have resources that behave very well for rest like operations - user comes to mind, for things like user profile page, user settings, user detail, etc

A rest endpoint is likely handy to use across your application without having to replicate the same serialization over and over again.

Also many frameworks remove all the boilerplate for those operations (eg. Django class views), so creating one is a really good starting point.
I was born with sort of disability. From relatively early age I was presented with the reality that I would have to have heart surgery later in life. So I have tried to enjoy life till that moment. And then the moment came. It was not that bad and, even if I'm not Wout Van Aert, I can still enjoy things like bike commuting. I do not consider my self unlucky but privileged. It is not ideal but it is how it is. I'm not waiting for afterlife.
Lots of comments here about XML vs. JSON... but there are areas where these two don't collide. I'm thinking about text/document encoding (real annotated text, things like books, etc).

Even though XML is still king here (see TEI and other norms), some of its limitations are a problem. Consider the following text:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Now say you want to qualify a part of it:

Lorem ipsum <sometag>dolor sit amet</sometag>, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Now say you want to qualify another part, but it's overlapping with previous part:

Lorem ipsum <sometag>dolor sit <someothertag>amet</sometag>, consectetur</someothertag> adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Of course, this is illegal XML... so we have to do dirty hacks like this:

Lorem ipsum <start someid="part1"/>dolor sit <start someid="part2"/>amet<end someid="part1"/>, consectetur<end someid="part2"> adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Which means rather inefficient queries afterwards :-/

In my reading:

> Unfortunately the connection to (*the usual area = FPl, that's a L not an i) may be more easily saturated during high emotional states.

I do wonder if the FPl is overactive and needs to be slowed down like the article suggests (which hurts behavior in non-anxious people), or if the amygdala is jamming the FPl with excessive signalling (and needs to be slowed down).

I agree that Person B's situation feels unfair compared to Person A's. However:

a) It's just one of many ways that employees can negotiate more favourable contract terms. They can also negotiate more annual leave, fewer hours, smaller notice periods etc... and with proper management it shouldn't cause issues.

b) People who work regularly in the office have perks like their own permanent desk and PC.

c) The cause of this unfavourable situation is the 3 day / week policy put in place by senior management in the first place. Imagine cutting the carpark in half to save costs, and then removing the bike racks as well so that the car drivers don't feel as hard done by. It comes across as spiteful.

As for the "added work of managing", I'm not sure I follow. I previously managed a couple of people, one of whom came in 2-3x per week and the other was almost completely remote but came in occasionally. Once things are set up so that meetings or calls can be done remotely or in-person on the fly, this isn't much of an obstacle. Perhaps it becomes more of an obstacle with larger teams, but that isn't something I hear from other managers in my company. It is tricky to run meetings with half the people in the room and half remote - but this isn't solved by forcing remote workers to stay remote (if anything it makes it worse).

Some people still insist on using non-PDF, for example the Swiss tax office insists on some weird proprietary format[1], QDF made by some obscure company called Snapform. All their forms are in QDF format.

It introduces completely un-necessary friction into the process. Everyone knows they should have just used PDF. Instead of forcing people to install some reader software they will never use for any other purpose.

From my experience, the way I'd describe it is:

- fear is transient, you feel it in the moment and then it goes away. You can then remember "boy I was scared" and feel the memory of fear but not fear itself. You can project and imagine a situation where you'd be scared.

- anxiety is a persistent state of stressful anguish. There are peaks and troughs. During peaks it can be overwhelming and look like, trigger, or mix with fear. During troughs anxiety is still there somewhere deep, it merely takes a backseat to other emotions. In every moment it biases every process your mind undertakes.

And that could not be handled by making an optional namespace which can be used when it is actually needed?

Even without namespaces, it's trivial to handle

There is seldom need to mix it in the same object, and if you need that, you should think long and hard if you are on the right track.
I've been climbing on and off for 30 years. Most people are not "free" soloing as it's called in the US (just soloing in the UK). If he's the sort of person that's attracted to those kinds of things he'll find other dangerous stuff to do anyway like sky diving, riding motorbikes. Most climbing is relatively safe although accidents do happen from time to time often due to complacency.

I'm sorry to hear this much loved person has died. RIP

Thanks for digging this detail out! I'm a bit disappointed since I was looking forward to playing this with friends again (fond memories), but I can totally understand how the dev might not have the necessary time to implement this.

> I have seen it claimed on news-for-nerds sites like this, that Buddhism denied the supernatural entirely.

I haven't observed that. It's a difficult position to hold: the ideas of karma and rebirth are central dogmas in Buddhism, and it's hard to construe them as not supernatural.

The brain is absolutely physical.

> A lot of what is in the brain, is not actually to be found in the brain, or by studying it materially.

You are talking about consciousness (and perhaps the non-conscious processing that the brain does as well). That is indeed a non-physical phenomenon, but it still has physical underpinnings.

> The "formwork" that formed it, is lost in evolutionary time.

You can't lose something that you never had in the first place :). It will take that as a figure of speech.

The good news are: we are very familiar with some things that "exist" but don't have a physical presence. On this forum, "software" is the most obvious one. "Math" is probably the second. There's many others, like all the emotions, entropy, and so forth. We can, to a certain degree, reverse-engineer some of these processes by looking at the physical imprint that they leave. It's true that we never get a full picture - the same way that just looking at the source code might not give you a good idea of how the RAM will look like when the program is executing. But it can give you some insight. And then, if you are lucky, you may be able to fill in the gaps.

The bad news: this is the most imbricated and complex piece of "code" that the humanity has ever faced. Our brains might simply not be capable of understanding their own complexity by themselves. Most of us have a "cache" of 7 items, after all. Barely good enough to swing to the next tree branch.

But then again some good news: the complexity is definitely not infinite- just very big. And we keep improving our tools. The same way some of them expand the limits of what we can physically do with our bodies, some of them expand what we can mentally do with our brains. Wether or not that will be enough for us to understand ourselves, to a certain definition of "understand", is still up in the air as far as I'm concerned. I'm agnostic about it.

Whenever two or more are gathered together, they shall argue about JSON vs XML.

Personally I like the simplicity of JSON and also the expressive power of XML. But then I tend to only use each for the task it was primarily intended: application data-on-the-wire in JSON and "documents" in XML. It seems like a lot of the recurrent discussion around these technologies happens when they're pushed to do things outside their comfort zone. And I wonder if some of this is down to siloing of developer knowledge.

There was a comment on HN a few days ago (not by me, and I can't find it now) to the effect that web development has historically attracted self-taught developers or those who have come to it by routes like bootcamps. It went on to say that they perhaps consequently lack some knowledge of existing techniques and solutions, and therefore tend to recreate solutions that may already exist (and not always well). And this drives the well-known churn in webdev tech: of which bolting schemas onto JSON is arguably an example.

I wonder what people think of this? Personally I think it has some merit, but that the "churn" has also generated (along with much wheel-reinvention) some great innovations. And I say that as someone who works mainly on back-end stuff.

Thoughts?
For me it was when I start noticing that the bad days where I'd fail my intended lift happened more often than the days I progressed.

An example, when I was trying to push my bench press over 87,5kg I was going with 1-2 sets of warm-up (~8-10x 70kg then adding 5kg to the 2nd warm up), followed by: 1 set of 5x85kg, 5x87,5kg and trying to go 3x90kg but noticed I was failing the 3x90kg set for 4+ weeks in a row, I kinda knew it was going to take more effort and a different approach than just my very basic way to increase load, I was happy with lifting 87,5kg on the bench and just stopped trying to push it further.

Age has definitely affected my recovery time, stamina, etc. but because I've been lifting on-off since my teens playing tennis, and only focusing on strength training for its own sake later in my 20s. I do have a "baseline" that I can reach in about 4-6 months even when I stop training completely for a while, the strength you gain changes your muscles (I think it creates extra nuclei in muscle cells, unsure how true that is, lots of pseudoscience in fitness-world) and it comes back. That's one of the main reasons I recommend all of my sedentary friends to try lifting for a while, it will help when one is older.

Of course there is a massive spread of religion that comes under the title 'buddhism'.

The buddhism I practice doesn't resemble this, there are others (e.g Pure Land or Tibetan) which I do think incorporate some real 'religious' dogma and supernatural nonsense; but personally (and perhaps somewhat offensively.. Sorry!) I don't refer to these as Buddhism.

The only thing I think my sect would say buddhists as a whole believe is that we absolutely do not care what any given person believes. There is no dogma, no leap of faith involved in zen. If you want to believe in a magical dude in the sky, that's up to you. It's not related to zen.

It's quite easy to be mislead on this point, especially as a lot of zen texts were written at a time where such beliefs were common, but while e.g Dogen sometimes talks about literal rebirth and various hells and so on, these are not part of his teachings but the settings for it. Like how if I was to write some sutra today, I may set it in a contemporary setting, but that setting would not be the teaching..
Curious, is this what inspired JetBrains to include such ligature in writing "IntelliJ", merging iJ? [1]

It does need to be stable, which is why the replacement is mergesort.

The SYSINITs need to bring up the system in a particular order. I dunno why there are both explicit ordering (the sort keys) and implicit ordering (the stability requirement), perhaps cperciva can chime in.

Based on when I last looked at this code, I guess the explicit ordering is to do with startup phases, and the implicit ordering is because of the way SYSINITs are (or were?) implemented using linker sets, which have more guarantees about ordering than __attribute__((constructor)) and other similar functionality.
(non-native here) I've been saying this for as long as I remember. Non-Anglophones often get frustrated in attempt to (de)construct a word in English like they would in other European languages only to find that it doesn't work and they don't understand why. I often say you'll have a much easier time accepting English if you consider it to be more like Mandarin; a collection of images. The only difference is that unlike an image of a drawing (of a house or a tree), a word in English is an image of letters. But it's still an image! It's not a word with individual letters, you can't break it apart; you have to memorise it instead. So don't feel bad for not knowing how something is pronounced, because native Anglophones will not know either.

Like the existing C runtime environment, this just isn't a big deal by the time we've got here. If you're the code for initialising the DRAM controller then sure, that's pretty intimidating. But this is all happening much later, we're part of an operating system, we were already loaded from disk.

How so? They appear to even have a deliberate tie-breaking mechanism in their data structure, which suggests if order actually matters you're expected to specify when creating the data, not rely on stability to do what you expected.

I mean, if they are the type that are using steroids and such things, sure.
The other sort that are into drugs just gets stoned and lift weights. The risks just aren't the same: Sure, you are going to do some damage with pot, but not the same sort and you'll certainly not be so much worse than the person that gets stoned and plays games a lot of the day or gets stoned and works at a gas station.
