Yes, great point.

In learning about people with ADHD I learned that it is actually a constellation of possible executive function disorders. There are many different aspects or subtypes of executive function, such as time management, working memory, impulse control, etc.

Then you realize that "willpower" isn't a real thing; it's just a vernacular term that ambiguously refers to some aspects of executive function.

And people with lots of innate executive function have a very hard time understanding what life is like for people who have less of it -- which seems to be what you observed and made you feel skeptical.

There is something to be said for "use the types of executive function you do have to compensate for the ones you don't". These become the strategies that neurodiverse people use to function where necessary. But it requires very deliberate analysis and practice; it's not as easy a simple how-to article or list of tricks.
You're brave, dealing with time is often a discouraging and frustrating experience as a developer.

I did bookmark it and I'm curious to see the other features (coming soon), because sharing time-based events on some social platforms isnannoying, and having a way to link to a specific time and date and having each user see the time relative to their timezone in a simple interface would be nice.
Speaking of checking people's profiles, on mouseover with Refined Hacker News [1] installed, I see you don't have a bio set up.

The FAA gets authorized by Congress. Congress is actually the one with the constitutional power to legislate, so can override executive agencies like the grandparent describes.
The question makes sense to me. Have you at all looked into what OP is talking about before commenting?
It's a sticky product. There isn't an alternative from Boeing in this market segment that's viable in a modern fleet from what I understand, and airlines tend to be either Boeing or Airbus, so it would take a huge push to get an airline to migrate from one to the other – possibly multiple failed models and significant compensation to fund building up the maintenance infrastructure for the other manufacturer and pilot retraining.
>Considering the penalties for getting it wrong. Simply no. You assume it is correct if it matches the data you have, not by default.

We live in a world where people routinely borrow from "tribal lending services" at 500% APR. Where they buy a car on the monthly payment value without consideration for APR or loan term. Where an entire financial crisis was caused in large part by people taking out bad loans they knew (or should have known) were impossible for them to service properly despite the consequences. Where people don't review their own pay stubs only to discover their employer has been cheating them for years or has improperly withheld taxes. And a world where despite the existence of both the 1040EZ and e-filing people still find tax paperwork confusing and too hard.

Forgive me if I don't share your optimism on whether most tax payers would assume the answer the government got was correct or not, regardless of the consequences. It's also not an unreasonable assumption either, why in the world would you want a system where you couldn't assume the result was correct most of the time?
Advaita has all-encompassed the chat. ;)

See Oppenheimer quote from the Bhagavad Gita after the first atomic bomb test.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Oppenheimer+quote+from+the+B....

The Gita is about Advaita.

Skip the Wikipedia article about Advaita, it is somewhat crap.

Go to deeper sources such as books by well-known people, preferably S. Radhakrishnan, 2nd President of India.

(Or at least google a bit more if don't want to or cannot buy or get the book).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarvepalli_Radhakrishnan

First paragraph from the above article about him:

Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan OM, FBA (pronunciationⓘ; 5 September 1888 – 17 April 1975; natively Radhakrishnayya) was an Indian politician, philosopher and statesman who served as the second president of India from 1962 to 1967. He previously served as the first vice president of India from 1952 to 1962. He was the second ambassador of India to the Soviet Union from 1949 to 1952. He was also the fourth vice-chancellor of Banaras Hindu University from 1939 to 1948 and the second vice-chancellor of Andhra University from 1931 to 1936. Radhakrishnan is considered one of the most influential and distinguished 20th century scholars of comparative religion and philosophy,[2][web 1] he held the King George V Chair of Mental and Moral Science at the University of Calcutta from 1921 to 1932 and Spalding Chair of Eastern Religion and Ethics at University of Oxford from 1936 to 1952.[3]
>> That's still just willpower

No it's not. Willpower is a brute force decision to stop and then fighting the urge until you beat the urge.

Deferring a decision to do something for increasing periods of time is not fighting yourself. The key is that when the defer period is up, you either do the thing such as smoking a cigarette - unless you are OK to defer a little further. You're not in a fight with yourself. It's just that eventually the defer period becomes so long that its same as stopping entirely.

A strategy of deferring doing something is working with your subconscious mind, not against it.
We both work at big techs
, so first world problem. But her company grants RSUs and sells stock to cover income tax, mine gives less stock and grants cash to cover taxes instead. Which is why I was surprised she was getting 1040s at all. But the stock is sold to cover tax, since a stock grant is taxed as ordinary income, that this generates a 1040 with a cost basis of zero is crazy.
In my experience, it seems very real as well.

I stumbled upon this site

https://openreview.net/group?id=NeurIPS.cc/2023/Conference#t...

not sure how this works exactly
That post is really a case-in-point of overinterpreting and using a popular commentator as a jumping-off point for one's own screed. Pigliucci's response doesn't really engage with a charitable interpretation of what NDT actually said about philosophy, but extrapolates the actual claims to a broad derision which motivates Pigliucci's much wider defense. The two substantive claims NDT makes is that it's hard to move forward when you're endlessly debating the meaning of terms and that philosophy that purports to describe the natural world is obsolete. He concedes other humanistic areas like religion, politics and so on are fruitful philosophical areas.

What NDT is guilty of in the minds of so many of the commentators is not having what they consider due reverence and deference to philosophy. What none of the responses do is justify the supposed reverence scientists and popular culture more broadly should have. The points about philosophy being dead in the context of describing the physical world appear to be true. The point about philosophy not making progress (understood in the way that science makes progress) appears to be true. If the only claim to value one can make is for activity that happened centuries ago (being the forebearer to science), then philosophy truly is dead. While Pigliucci's points in defense of philosophy are true, they still don't tell us why anyone outside of philosophy should care about philosophy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a philosophy hater. I quite enjoy philosophy, I read an awful lot of it. But this is because I like puzzles and I like navigating conceptual spaces and gaining deep understanding. But this isn't all that relevant to most people's lives. You want people to care about philosophy, you need to be relevant to them. Philosophy is failing at being relevant.
Last time I tried to use it, they wanted me to take a selfie and send it to them in order to be able to pay estimated taxes.
You'd be surprised! One thing to consider is that _people_ want free stuff, but _businesses_ get to write off a lot of expenses, meaning that for most businesses, $100/mo is nothing at all and any random employee could probably set it up without going through a whole bunch of financial stuff. Find 10 small companies that need to ensure their website is up, charge em $99/mo, and now you're making $1000/mo.

Could they use a free one? Sure. But most companies won't think twice about paying $100/mo for something. And you don't need _every_ company to pay you $100/mo, just 10, 15, 20 of them. And there are hundreds of thousands of companies out there.

The other thing is that there aren't a ton of uptime monitors out there because they don't make money; quite the opposite, there are a ton of uptime monitors out there because they create value and people are willing to pay for it!

To put it a slightly different way, there's a reason there are a million pizza restaurants and burger joints. It's not a zero-sum game! If there are five pizza restaurants, then there's likely room in the market for a sixth. Similarly, if there are 99 uptime monitor companies, there's room for a 100th!

If you find an area where there are _no_ competitors, that should actually be a red flag: why aren't there any? what's wrong with the business? is it because you're a genius and thought of something nobody else has thought of (let's face it, you may be a genius, but this is very unlikely), or is it because there isn't any money to be made (ding ding, we have a winner)?

Honestly, the best way to think of business ideas is to look at businesses that you already like, then just do what they do. Yeah, you're competing against an established player, but markets are rarely 100% dominated by your competitor. There's almost always room to squeeze out a lifestyle business. Plus, they've already done the R&D and validated the market! Win/win, honestly.
> Because the chance of you dying when something goes wrong in an aircraft at high altitude is significantly higher (almost 100%) than you dying in a car crash.

It isn't though. Airliners have suffered in-flight engine explosions and decompressions multiple times since 2001 without fatalities. The last time a structural failure of an aircraft resulted in a crash was in 2000 and it was a design that entered service in 1959. Modern airliners don't just fall out of the sky. They feature robust designs and highly competent crews.

Cars regularly crash fatally without mechanical failures at all. And that says nothing of the dire state of car maintenance among the general population.
My definition of fancy teas has become more traditional over time, but you’re right. I started with things like Republic of Tea’s fruity ones. The blueberry hibiscus is still something I drink at night. Or Good Hope Vanilla.

Peach and black tea is quite interesting, because it smells entirely of peaches, but scarcely tastes of them. It’s very much like coffee in that way. Amazing aroma, boring delivery.
Personally I would like it and the ecosystem to just cease to exist overnight. Nothing on earth has caused so much pain, misery, suffering and agony, apart from possibly PHP.

Our devops guys scream from the seething pain whenever the have to debug some pile of shit that decides it won't build unless all the runes are aligned precisely and all the RAM in the universe is available on the build runners. And pushing this to the developers results in importing more packages thus adding to the burning tyre fire.

And after several hours of builds and 9000 layers of packages you wake up one morning and in that 50 meg chunk of javascript that is excreted from the process, someone managed to inject a "Slava Ukraini!" banner into your web app.
I'm glad someone mentioned this. The tacit acceptance of physical violence in prisons is so widespread in our society.

It's weird because a comment like "these executives deserve to be raped as punishment" would be considered disgusting and unfunny: frankly, you'd probably be made a social pariah for saying something like that. That statement is morally equivalent to the "pounding in the ass prison" statement, which is far more socially acceptable.

I genuinely think it's something that future generations will look back upon in horror.
I’ve gotta say, the American bars in the Antarctic were pretty staid affairs in the grand scheme of things - lots of people getting quietly smashed in corners - but the guys at Vernadsky knew how to party - zamagonka made from their potato stocks, followed by skinny dipping with the penguins and a session in the sauna, followed by more zamagonka, until nobody is left standing.
“Tending bar” puts more emphasis on what one might argue is the more important part of the phrase. No one is there for the tender. Consider versus “woodworking”: you want the work, not the hunk of wood.
I feel like there was a Cambrian explosion of UI design around the period of Geocities and web 2.0 sites like Digg. The Web was still in the early days of being monetized, and it had a fraction of the investment it has in terms of dedicated design teams, and all of the a/b testing to identify optimal design patterns for driving various actions.

Today we have survival of the fittest, and non-commercial design largely mirrors it due to that being what the tools and libraries to make sites offer.
That's the period between Samhain and Imbolc. That calendar is based on the amount of light. Samhain (Halloween) is the dey halfway between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice, and Imbolc is the day halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox.

In those days the amount of light available was a huge issue and feast days were marked around the days the light shifted, as well as shifts in behaviour. For example the harvest work would traditionally begin the day afer Samhain, halfway between the summer solstice (Midsummer) and the autumn equinox.
I claimed that the reasons behind the existence and structure of the Content ID system are more complicated than just "avoiding lawsuits". I also pointed out that the primary source for that explanation is a CEO who is already known to have engaged in illegal cartel-like behavior.

Rather than engaging with anything I've said, you just keep attacking things I didn't say. Calling things "nonsense" isn't an argument and is a sign that you don't have anything of substance to contribute.
Washington State has been making Boeing-specific laws for decades, without having to mention them by name - the legislature just writes up a bill which sets such-and-such a lower tax rate for every aircraft manufacturer which employs at least so many workers, et voila! There happens to be only one.
>>But how do you make yourself start doing something you don't want to do?

Like going to the gym?

Well, the same person who advised me on the deferral strategy also advised me on your question.

He said - specifically on the topic of going to the gym and exercising - (paraphrased):

"Stop looking for techniques and mind tricks, for some things in life you must simply take action. You cannot avoid taking action if you want the outcome. There is nothing more to it than taking action. You know what the action required is, do it."

On the topic of going to the gym a (very fit) friend of mine said:

"I do not give myself a choice. I do not negotiate it with myself daily. I do not discuss it with myself. I just go."

When you hear people say "I don't have time to do X/Y/Z" then translate that to "I do not prioritise X/Y/Z high enough to actually do it."

You currently set priorities for yourself every day, every minute, every hour.

If you do something, it is because you prioritised it higher then everything else.

I beg to differ, and we know this. Want to stop taking heroin? Stop surrounding yourself with people who take heroin. See a medical professional. Get away from wherever you get the heroin. Try to get your life in order so you have other things to look forward to.

It's a terrible, terrible idea to just "stop taking heroin". Pray tell, if you see someone who is an heroin addict and they say they are going to stop it and make no changes to their life, do you believe for a single second they are going to succeed? Hell no.
I've walked on the ones at Toronto Pearson before. I was a bit surprised the first time that it wasn't moving at full speed like I expected when I stepped on, but after that the second time I knew what to expect and it worked well.

I actually found it better when disembarking because it gives a better transition to the stationary surface when stepping off.
I don't know if I'd call it a superstition exactly, but there's a subset of people who are fine with foo1.plus(foo2) and bar1.plus(bar2) where foo and bar are different types, but for some reason, "foo1 + foo2" and "bar1 + bar2" is "confusing" or somehow evil. It feels a bit like they're superstitious about it. I get a similar vibe from people who have an aversion to static type inference.

It seems like the obvious answer is airgapped data access. A given ai model should only have access to data that a given user would have access to. That of course makes training a lot harder but it is what it is. Trying to simply "tell" a model not to access certain data it has access to through a prompt is a losing game.
I quit smoking twice; once about 15 years ago, and then again last year (I started again during COVID lockdowns), both on the first (serious) attempt. Both times went relatively easy, the tricks were 1) make sure to scrub everything from everything smoking-related, 2) don't have friends who smoke, and 3) make sure you have $stuff to do (work, games, TV, books, whatever).

Especially 1) and 2) are what this article is about: make it harder to do $bad_thing and don't be reminded of it.

I don't think I'd be able to quit if cigarettes were easily available to me.
Fair points. But SAML doesn't cost much incrementally for each added customer org, yet it enables an SMB to simplify account lifecycle management. Important from a security perspective of course. Most SAAS do put it as an "enterprise" feature but it's a barrier to SMB security best practices.

A more complex yet rationale model would be a small incremental fee per user under the SAML.
I find it effective to break an old habit by establishing new ones.

For example, the author probably had a bunch of old habits that got superseded once they got a smartphone.

Need to find something else that can dominate over smartphone usage. For example reading a book, listening to music, watching a movie, or doing sports.

Has anyone bridged this to Java with JNI and used it well for a HTTP/2 client? Considering doing this some time within the next month but if someone already has done work would be useful to see.

Response to below user since rate limited:

Few Java libraries support everything required. At the socket level if you want to get cmsg struct information you’re not going to get that from most Java libraries and you need that configurable since sometimes you use SO_TIMESTAMP et al. and other times you don’t and if you use SW for that you can lose a few hundred micros there.

OTOH libwebsockets very easy to modify. Downside is it manages the loop. So you need to do some engineering. But if someone has already learned the lessons there it would be helpful to me. If they haven’t, I’ll just do it I suppose.
Reminds me of one of my project ideas that will probably never happen: Build a mini bare-metal Minecraft clone and then build a CPU inside it capable of self-hosting the whole thing.
> Microsoft clicks all links in emails for "security" purposes.

SOP. many email providers do this. the magic link shouldn't directly take you to the thing, but rather be an interstitial, so that security vetting prefetch can be managed.

Further crawling seems quite bad. Are the pages actually public, protected only by URL obscurity? Not justifying MSFT behavior here, but you say "password protected" but the scheme you've described doesn't seem to be that. Can you set a session cookie after the magic link, and assuming MSFT crawler doesn't save cookies, "defeat" it that way? Or, identify it by UA and defeat it that way?

I think you need to provide more info about how they are crawling if you want a solution.

I don't see how this is a GDPR violation. Crawling the data and evaluting security or malware issues doesn't fall under GDPR. Saving the content would, and probably is additionally a violation on your part, but you haven't indicated they are doing that.

Also not clear why the magiclink doesn't work. Just because MSFT used it to crawl, why can't the user also use it later?
Yes I agree that Python success most probably due to its productory of its peudocode-like syntax that makes building libraries more attractive.

In addition to Nim, D programming is also Phytonic due to its GC by default approach and it is a very attractive Fortran alternative for HPC, numerical computation, bit twiddling, etc. D support for C is excellent and the latest D compiler can compile C codes natively, and it is in GCC eco-system similar to Fortran. Heck, D native numerical library GLAS is already faster than OpenBLAS and Eigen seven years ago [1]. In term of compilation speed D is second to none [2].

That's actually an interesting one - it depends on your jurisdiction. E.g. in all Australian jurisdictions (and quite a few US states), one cannot consent to serious bodily harm. Some jurisdictions allow consent as a defence for "lower" assaults that don't meet the threshold of serious bodily harm. In Australia (I'm not as familiar with other countries), there are usually explicit carve-outs for sports like boxing, but only when under the purview of a licensed boxing authority.
