With one hand I can count all the times I was ever taken out of school in all my twelve years for any unexcused absences like these. Some of these seem farcical. Vacation lining up with my cousins' breaks? That's what summer break is for dude.

It's not pure chance. It was a plane error, but trained pilots following procedure would have responded appropriately and avoided a crash. In response to a plane malfunction, the pilots panicked, did the wrong thing, and everyone died.

This does not excuse Boeing, but it's just the way it is. Training standards are higher in the US than, for example, Ethiopian airlines.
How different do you think your life would be today if your parents pulled you out of 4th grade for a week in February to go skiing or to Disney or to see cousins?
I spent too much of my life chasing achievements. They will never make you happy for long. I lost contact with all of them by going through migration, COVID, a separation.

Focusing on achievements is a recipe for a lifetime of misery, except (if you are lucky) few short living moments of satisfaction.

What determines your happiness is how you live every moment. Do you have good hobbies? Good friends? If you are happy with your productivity, you can enjoy the moments of pleasure.

My suggestions:

- Stop thinking about achievements, start to live the moment. Find what motivates you and start doing it

- Find a hobby. Dance helped me a lot. It gave me progress when I lacked it in my career, social interactions, and a supportive community when I needed it the most

- Commit to something by joining groups. I'm a big procrastinator. Choose activities that you don't need to do anything alone. I only practice Tango in the class and with others. That slows down my progress, but I can live with winning the world championship a few decades later ;)

- Change your social circle: People you see frequently have a huge effect on your lifestyle. Don't suddenly stop hanging with your current friends, start hanging out with people who motivate you. Don't try impressing people, and don't talk about your struggles. Be friendly, lots of things happen.

- Seek help. Find a mentor. Go to therapy. If you don't click with your therapist, try another person. If psychoanalysis does not work for you, try CBT. If you are diagnosed with any attention disorder, medication might help a lot

- Read good heroic fantasy novels. Those will satisfy the grandeur-seeking personality

- Start small and observe your progress. Give yourself reward for small achievements. The reward should be something exciting for your inner child. A nice snack will do. Over time gradually increase the time between rewards, but make them bigger.
I recall when my team chose MongoDB ~2011, Postgres & friends didn't have JSON columns, so there was a lot of extra data modelling that probably was unnecessary.

The biggest use case for MongoDB was for huMongous data. Obvs MongoDB was a good fit, because of the name.

> They fail as measured by their own grading scale every year. In aggregate, public schools are always lagging behind their private counterparts.

This on its own communicates nothing interesting. It’d be surprising if this weren’t the case, given private schools possess the superpower of not having to serve everyone.
Every generation says this, they still showed up and did the work. Do you honestly think a teenager that was drafted into WW1 wasn't scared for their future? What about people in the Spanish Flu or Polio epidemics? People in the 50s thought we'd all die in nuclear war. It's so annoying that people think our circumstances are worse than our ancestors. They aren't, unless you're literally at war, your life is better than anyone before you.

Anyhow, kids are skipping school because their parents allow them to, it has nothing to do with "climate change," "COVID," or "the future." Parents should be heavily punished for truancy of their children, it's a form of child abuse/neglect. That's regardless of income, poor kids can't get out of poverty if they have no means to do so. That can be unpopular, it's irrelevant if it is. Kamala Harris got flack for that, but it's absolutely good to punish parents that allow this. If you disagree, you live in a bubble.

SpaceX manages to make things work despite rampant burnout induced quitting so its not impossible. Shorts used to make fun of Tesla and how any experience walks out the door with all the turnover but they seem to have a handle on things as well (less so than SpaceX).

Somebody somewhere will probably see this and build the framework to build something similar out of Framework parts. That is, if it hasn't be done already.
If each of those operators were implemented as functions then you'd have different names for different implementations in order to avoid confusion over what type of division or multiplication they were performing. It's more verbose but that's a good thing since it prevents you from making incorrect assumptions about what's going to happen when you do a * b.

Yup. I don't mean "here's how you can use my theorem to build a bridge", I mean "here's an instantiation used to prove a more tangible result". Bonus points if multiple such results fall out of the general theorem. That's good evidence to me that generality is actually accomplishing something.

Christianity was founded as a monastic, ascetic, apocalyptic sect in antique judaism, and got the shape recognisable to most of us through roman imperial politics. If you think those jews or romans used psychedelics I'd like to know why.

There might be traces of cannabis in the hebrew Bible but it's not a common theme and pretty much every word this idea is usually based on could be a reference to something else.

There are religions using psychedelics, some of them probably quite old, but none of the big, popular ones do. In part this is explained by european (and similar) traditions surrounding government, which tends to be very suspicious of strong feelings and competition from drug use when it comes to the loyalty of their subjects, so for a religion to become a societal institution it has to get rid of the drugs if there are any.

Edit: As for modern interpretations of e.g. LSD as a religious experience says more about cultural poverty and millenia of ideological subjugation than the experience itself.

As a 15 year old in 1985, I had dreams of a very similar concept, except I was fascinated by the Transputer CPU as the heart of the system I was dreaming about.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transputer

The "transputer" was a CPU that had high speed serial interconnects that could connect to other transputer chips to support parallel processing. I was so enamored by this chip that I contacted the company to try to get datasheets, and the guy at the company couldn't believe I was a 15 year old. He sent me some brochures anyway.

My dream was a modular system, with each module catering to different computing needs. I/O modules, compute modules, storage modules, even a printer module - and each module would contain at least 1 transputer chip so it could talk to all the other CPUs in the system.

Want a faster computer? Just add some compute-only modules that contained 4 or 8 transputer chips, all working in parallel. Each peripheral added like a hard drive module or I/O module would have at least 1 transputer CPU so you would end up with a faster computer simply by plugging in any kind of module. I had so many drawings in my high-school notebook about my dream computer system.

I have never heard about the "Jonathan" computer idea until today on HN, but back in 1985 I would have been very excited about it. It seems very similar to what I thought I wanted back then, though without the parallel processing aspect.

Yes it indeed has very specific use case of tutorial videos with white background; those generally stay the same until the switch to dark mode for showing code.

Thinking science and philosophy are entirely separate misses the big picture. Look at it this way: all the science fields we study today, like physics and biology, grew from philosophical questions. What we’re doing when we dive into these subjects is exploring questions about the world, a task philosophy started.

Take chemistry and astrology as examples. Why do we consider chemistry more valid? It's not because chemistry steps outside of physics' boundaries; it's that it gives us useful answers based on physics. Anything in chemistry that doesn't fit with physics we see as a mistake. But this doesn't mean chemistry doesn't have its place. It tackles parts of the world physics covers in broad strokes, just as physics uses math to detail its findings. Saying physics could exist without math, or implying a problem in physics could be solved outside of math, goes against the whole idea of what physics is.

Saying 'philosophy is dead' ironically shows how successful philosophy has been. We don’t need to constantly refer back to philosophy for everyday scientific questions because those frameworks are already well-established. Philosophy comes into play when we’re faced with truly strange or new questions that challenge our current understanding.

I swear that the administrative convenience of treating domains of science as distinct subjects rather than subsets and supersets and entirely separate from philosophy in K-12 has caused confusion and dogmatic rigidity on a global scale.

I wonder if anyone knows -- why was he able to hide out in Greece? Apparently the US had an extradition treaty in place with Greece since the 1930s. Especially if he was a security liability, you'd think the US would have greater than normal motivation to pursue extradition.

Satoshi's views on scaling were NOT ambiguous. He planned to increase the blocksize and have users switch to SPV wallets. Read section 8 of the Bitcoin white paper:

https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf

Also, direct Satoshi quote from bitcointalk about increasing the blocksize and hard forking to do it:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15366#msg153...

"It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)
maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.

When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade."

Regarding OP_RETURN, both mastercoin and counterparty existed because of OP_RETURN, so no, it's not "garbage". It's a data field that can be used to link L2's to the Bitcoin blockchain by embedding them in transactions. These projects, factom, and countless others that built off of OP_RETURN had to abandon Bitcoin for other chains because of the core developers' gatekeeping.

I was in high school 4 decades ago was chronically absent. I absolutely hated school and it really only provided unmanageable stress for me. I was entirely focused on getting to college. I was able to attend an art school which seemed to have a high population of un-teachable students.

I struggle to make sense of the implication that Catholics are nihilists (even in some narrow sense).

* Nietzsche saw nihilism as revelling in nothingness, but also as coming in a preferable version which was simply about iconoclasm and modernization.

* He saw Christianity as having a purpose of underpinning objective knowledge, thus opposing nihilism, but as failing in this, due to the erosion of belief and rise of skepticism.

I don't know if you're making a point specific to Catholicism, maybe. Can't work out what.
Alright. You first.
The replacement of high-sulfur bunker-oil fuel (literally the bottom of the barrel in terms of petroleum refining) with methanol is an undeniable win on multiple grounds, such as high air pollution in port cities and along shipping lanes. Methanol is simply a much cleaner-burning fuel, regardless of source.

As far as synthetic hydrocarbon production goes, methanol is low-hanging fruit. E.g.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fchem.2018.0044...

> "Starting from pure CO2 and a separate pure source of H2, rather than a mixture of CO, CO2, and H2 as is the case with syngas, simplifies the chemistry, and therefore also changes the reaction and purification processes from conventional methanol producing industrial plants. At the core of the advantages is that the reaction impurities are essentially limited to only water and dissolved CO2 in the crude methanol."
Right. One key thing to keep in mind is that we all have an intrinsic nature/personality and no amount of study/training can change this at a fundamental level. Thus we need to be very aware of our strengths and weaknesses, take into account environment/circumstances and act accordingly.

yea, it's possible to loose perspective on how much people can just go out and do in life, and how after-the-fact most of the systems that prevent it are.

It seems like there is a predisposition to that perspective shift for people who spend all day working on little boxes that are the one area of society where relentless permissions and control are ruthlessly and untiringly micromanaged to high heaven. There's a lot of fatalism that after the fact remedies are impossible if something was done with a computer, even when the actions in question are performed by known parties that comply with legal bounds.
