Is globalization dead? What are the reasons?
I am a Chinese born in the Z era. During most of my childhood years, the economy of my hometown improved with globalization. But with the recent impacts of the China-US trade war, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the looming threat of various wars, China's internal economy has started to deteriorate significantly. Young people who have just graduated from university are struggling to find jobs, and what's even more difficult to accept is that we, the younger generation, are having trouble finding our own place. Should we still believe in globalization? Can the incessant political struggles between these major nations come to a halt? Is the world of the new generation heading back to the Cold War era?
“Bully logic” is actually a great way to explain why the US is now bombing Yemen.
Perhaps a reason for this is that not everybody agrees that drugs are all that bad. Half of silicon valley allegedly is micro-dosing all sorts of things and apparently benefiting from that. Steve Jobs famously advocated using LSD. The Vietnam war famously had a lot of drug abuse. WW II soldiers and leadership were consuming epic amounts of amphetamines. And that wasn't just the Nazis.

Companies aren't testing for this because they couldn't care less. Drugs isn't killing their business and they like having access to smart people who might fail a test. The main reason testing is more common in the public sector is not that drugs are bad but that the optics of people using drugs has negative political consequences when political leaders are waging this war on drugs. Also with drugs being illegal, using them necessarily means breaking the law and interacting with criminals. Which looks bad politically as well.

Remote work is different. People and companies disagree about the effects but a lot of companies seem to prefer having their people not work remotely. Not because of the way it looks but because of at least the perception of its impact on productivity. Whether you agree with that or not doesn't matter. Some people are concerned about it and acting accordingly.

The inequality here relates mainly to the value of the work people do. Just like companies don't like losing access to people who are smart and may use drugs, they also don't like losing access to people who have valuable skills that insist on working remotely. So they allow some people to work remotely. But of course some skills are more valuable than others so the inequality mainly relates to how easy it is to replace people with more compliant ones.
Depends on your car. Some cars only activate these systems after a certain speed. Even then you can still overpower the system.
I admit that my most recent experience with PHP was from two whole years ago. If they’ve made any improvements since then they didn’t tell me. Still, I stand by my statement that anyone would be better off with almost any other language.

Show HN: OENT – A web app for creative writing with versatile flexibility
Hello everyone!

OENT is an app that came about from my constant struggles with creative writing in the available writing software.

Stories are sometimes told in a mixed-up order with flashbacks showing later events. A problem can be that these flashbacks might not have the correct continuity when put together.

The solution I came up with in OENT lets us view our story in two ways: "Story View" shows the story as it's told, and "Timeline View" shows the events in the order they actually happened.

On top of that, we have “events”, which are “story blocks” that form our documents. We can freely move them around in the same document or to other documents! They also can be reordered depending on their “Story Order” or “Timeline Order”

This feature is the foundation for other planned features. I'd like as many people as possible to try the app and give feedback on how it works and if there are any problems that need fixing!

I think the small scale, as in the footprint, is the point. They’d be much better off buying a used IMM if they want production parts but those are huge compared to TFA’s design.

If they can make their own molds at a machine shop, this could hit the sweet spot for a product that’s too high volume for 3d printing but not enough to justify a professional mold. Set it up and run it once a week to make a few hundred parts, that type of schedule. Just practical enough for a hacker-run lifestyle business.
If I understand correctly you state that it is wrong to say a computer is more limited than a human brain.

IMO that is far from clear. In some aspects (multiplying matrixes) it might be more powerful. In others (power consumption) the human brain wins by a wide gap.
I'm currently more focused on spreading good memes to the next generation.

Memes like kindness, empathy, planning ahead, being honest with yourself (and preferably others), communicating your intentions clearly ahead of time, and how good parenting takes more emotional labor and emotional intelligence than, say, the kind of parenting that solely consists of yelling when the parent does not receive the desired response from the child.

Genes are not the only thing the next generation needs.
It's the word 撚 which means penis (lan2 which sounds more like "lun"). You can pretty much stick it between many words, much like "fucking" in English, to add emphasis.

I don't think those are the kinds of jobs that have workers that expect to work from home. If you deal with physical assets, machinery, direct-customer communication, etc, you probably don't expect to be able to do your job outside of your company-assigned post anyway.

On the other hand, anybody that works in a cubical and mostly deals with a phone/computer could probably easily expect that they would be able to work from home. Many of those jobs have fairly modest pay. And I think if you have that aspiration to work from home, you would probably still be a little annoyed about the inability to work from home, regardless of the pay. But I agree there is likely a price where one would be fine with letting that dream stay a dream.

I feel that the far greater problem is that employers are now painting this neat picture where it's employees vs employees in this dilemma over inequality. Foreshadowing that it may be something they need to bother to step in the middle of in the near future. When in reality we are fairly united against employers in their seeming lack of willingness to just treat all of their employees well. Speaking generally of course.

It is an analogy to mention that is not a far fetched idea that there are limits.

As far as I recall, one of the results of Gödel is that a system capable of Arithmetic cannot prove certain things about itself. Aka there are limits within a system. My claim was about limits existing.
Upon inspection, the American Breville kettles are 1/2 the wattage with a 1 liter boil time of 4 minutes at 1500 watts.

The UK versions from the same brand are 3000 watts, but only reduces the boil time by 1 minute.

I'm not sure about efficiency one way or the other, but it's interesting to note that double the power does not yield one half boil time.

Additionally, at this elevation I would estimate my morning coffee, Americano (Italian coffee that requires boiled water), takes less time to make than it would at higher wattage at sea level. I'm only guessing.

I think it comes down to practicality more than either culture's love of tea or coffee.
"Keep an eye out for" better fits your intention. "Watch out for" implies potential danger or a need for caution. "Watch for" might work but is more for use in an active situation that changes.
Spotify pretty much backtracked on paying huge sums for exclusivity about a year ago, and the list of Spotify-exclusive podcasts has definitely gotten a whole lot smaller since then.

The same inequality between c level and frontline workers exists on so many levels with other perks is it possible that the c level just don’t want to lose its privileges? In Europe as a manager you get subsidized cars where the company pays for gas, private corner offices, equity or special bonus programs not always are benefits packages available for frontline workers… and now they talk about inequality if more staff could have perks like wfh, there always was a divide between staff that needs to be on site and other, only other staff also starts to get some perks in the form of wfh… why don’t give the frontline workers a company car, a private rest zone and better amenities or cash?

What a weird post and that ad is unacceptable.
> Using the wrong honorific or inappropriately not using one at all can be tantamount to shouting "fuck you" to someone here in the Anglosphere, an insult and offence of among the highest order.

I didn't mean it like that! I meant when they're being used normally and not meant to stand out. They're normal pleasantries and a bit of character voice, and both those things can be represented in English.

America isn't a honorific-heavy society, but there are certainly people who get offended if you don't call them Dr., etc, but this is rarely a plot point in a TV show and I don't think it's used that often in manga/anime either.

Though I don't find it that bad. My English copy of Count of Monte Cristo does have French honorifics (it uses M/Mme instead of Mr/Mrs) and that doesn't look weird. Japanese stories set in Britain also seem to like using British titles like "Milord" although, um, they don't really do it right.

Meanwhile I've seen subtitles for clips of Japanese vtubers where they don't put /enough/ swearing in. First one I ever saw had Pekora saying something was 気狂い, which they definitely didn't translate right. (Means "crazy" but it's a really bad word, kind of like "retarded".)
> Perhaps a reason for this is that not everybody agrees that drugs are all that bad

As an explanation, this is implausible to the point of impossible.

The same employers drug test lower-level employees but (e.g. in the warehouse) but don't test other employees (e.g. in the office).

Amazon drug tests warehouse workers but not AWS engineers.

It is difficult to come up for a coherent theory for that that includes "as an organisation, we don't think drugs are all that bad"
That’s just not true. There are many industry that runs efficient but generate little profit. In general, the more competition, the less profit. Warren Buffett sold the airline business for this reason. Many businesses are simply too hard.
For most people, that's a solved problem with bluetooth.
Sigh I was going to write a defense of PHP, but since it's flagged, I won't bother.
Depends on the setup, but even when it doesn't, it mallocs a huge chunk of memory at the start, lets the script run, allocate away and never free anything. Then, when the script is done, it frees the whole chunk in one fell swoop.

So for some definition of “process” it holds regardless - it’s just not always a real OS process.

They added GC at some point to allow scripts to run longer (eg for websocket servers) but even then last I checked you had to manually enable it.

"I don't think those are the kinds of jobs that have workers that expect to work from home."

I think especially for forklift drivers and alike - this is about to change. With teleoperating semi autonomous machinery, most of these jobs could be then remote as well. But it will take some time as currently humans and simple forklifts are way cheaper.

Shameless self promotion, but if you're interested in how collision detection was done in 3D (in Quake) I made a video on the topic here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLHXn8IlAiA

The technique can detect the intersection point of a (fixed size, axially aligned) moving bounding box and a hull defined as a BSP tree. In this sense it is rather limited compared to newer methods but it works rather well and the implementation is pretty robust, and fast enough for the primitive hardware of the day.

Gamedev is nothing like media. It's much easier to become a YouTuber or non-game indie creator.

Gamedev takes too damned long. You can't experiment and rapidly try new things.
I for some reason think about these things a lot, even though I guess I'm not in the front line anymore and have it pretty nice.

I can remember in 2010 or so having two friends who worked from home - one doing generic helpdesk in a small apartment, and one doing medical coding in a trailer. Neither paid well at all, and never did I get this sense of jealousy. Perhaps their lives were easier because of it, but it was far from the giant sun lit home offices people seem to imagine.

I also think a lot about how retail has changed. As a child, you had actual sales people in a lot of places who seemed happy to help. Probably on commission. Even the non-commissioned jobs people didn't seem so miserable. Probably because the wage gap wasn't as huge as it is today. So many people I encounter seem bothered by my presence and genuinely miserable, I try to avoid even going to stores anymore. It's a lose lose lose situation.

Of course, I have no answers for any of this, just observations from a middling age man.
I get a feeling that it's more of an art project. The voice-over is over-the-top artificial, reminding Stephen Hawking. The demonstrations of the objects are well executed, but content/education-wise on the level of it's so bad that it might actually be good. And of course, the obsolescence of several of these things is very questionable, let alone being able to accurately identify a year since something became obsolete.
Just to make sure this was something you were considering when I internet your comment.

You know that the two examples you referenced are from 9 and then 16 years ago right? Is this an increasing problem or one from a previous age of software?

This is a legit question. I work with managed languages for web development. I’ve only looked at c/c++/assembly in high school classes

When you are learning a skill, you have what I call structure learning, free-play, feedback and deliberate practice.

The structure of the skill is the curriculum, so to speak - but the skill itself is an action. When someone is learning music theory, they are really just learning what the structure of the skill is. If they knew the series of actions they needed to take, the goals they needed to set for themselves in practice, and the relationship between those competencies - then they would have no need of theory. The theory informs us of what the structure is.

In most skills and hobbies, you don't need much theory. This is because people have created drills and identified the fundamentals over time. Everything has been organized for you.

That's the structure. Here's the interesting thing - you don't need much structure at all. If the structure is a tree or graph representing the fundamentals you need to master, all you need to know is the next node - the next skill you will focus on.

That's where practice comes in. Practice should be your primary focus, not your secondary focus. Some fraction of that should be "free-play", or curiosity driven exploration & synthesis. You add that in because it's critical for learning, and because it keeps things feeling fresh - but the real value-add is to learn to enjoy the practice. If you "play" at practicing, then you're golden.

Practice though, must be deliberate. You don't just "make music". You have identified something you want to work on, and you attempt it through repetition. You compare your effort to the end-result (using feedback), and you repeat. This loop never ends. If you feel you've mastered something, you move on to the next thing. If you don't know what the next thing is, then you turn to theory in order to identify it.

That's all the balance you need. Learning about a thing is not doing the thing. Do the thing. Identify what you want to work on, draw a little progress meter on piece of paper, and start doing it. Do it for 20 hours, filling up the meter. At the end of 20 hours, you have a choice: draw another meter for another task, or stop doing the thing.

The problem you face is thinking that motivation is your problem. Your problem is that you are not doing the thing. How you feel when you are not doing the thing is irrelevant. How you feel after you've done the thing - and you notice that it's not what you wanted to it be - is irrelevant. You will never be at the goal, that's the whole point of practice.

1. Language: I'd be moving somewhere where the primary language is unknown to me (although I studied german for a while in school).

2. Convenience and support structure: I have young children and their grandparents live 5-15 minutes away.

My wife and I have resolved to leave, but not before our parents pass away. Its our one and likely only major blocker. In fact I shifted to working fully remotely during the pandemic to make this eventuality smoother.
Good point. Though when people think of a state, they tend to expect clear geographical boundaries. I guess when we're advocating for anarchy, we're advocating for multiple voluntary, competing, potentially geographically overlapping states.

I guess with this terminology, it sounds a lot more appealing than 'gangs' so I'm fully in favor.
I mean that they can afford to pay the animators better because they're more productive with the production methods they use for the project. Or in other words, the management cuts costs more. I've seen animators talking about how they'll only use one line weight when drawing a character to save time or things like that as well.

That's not the entire reason of course, they also have larger budgets.

I wonder if we know enough about any of these systems to make such claims. This is all predicated on the fact that this tool will be in widespread use. If it is somehow widely used beyond the folks who have seen it at the top of HN, won't the big firms have countermeasures, ready to deploy?
Just to clarify, they’re saying that there’s a positive correlation between an increase in microbiome diversity and crow’s feet (bad) and a negative correlation between microbiome diversity and water loss (good). So an increase in microbiome diversity may be good and bad?
In the euchromatic regions, yeah, it's about that. Elsewhere (e.g. centromeres) we are all quite diverse. This is recent news due to long read sequencing and complete genome assembly. The human pangenome project is touching on this, if still reticent to make clear claims about the centromeres.

I'm not sure that "99%" similar is the right way to think about chimpanzees and humans. We have a different chromosome number. Our chromosome 2 is a roberstonian fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes found in all other great apes, including chimpanzees and bonobos.
