Break your work into small and manageable steps. ... Start with a tiny step.

Something to add to this: start with the problematic step, not with the tiniest. Not all steps induce anxiety. It's buried in there, but is very local. Divide into manageable steps, identify the most anxious one and just kill it. The rest is usually free.

For example, if you're procrastinating and can't sort these 5831 saved pictures in "New folder (35)", first identify that the most anxious part is the sliding categorization paralysis. Simply start scrolling through the pics and making a directory plan in notepad aside, adjusting it on the fly. After you finish, it's only a mundane task of moving that is left, which you can just sit and do without any thought.

> You're oversimplifying. US residential power is currently supplied by a pair of 120 V wires, but most of the stuff in your house only uses one leg of that pair. That's alright because it's AC, and the ground wire doesn't actually need to carry any significant current. Power just returns time-lagged through the same wire when the voltage changes.

This isn't how it works.

With both programming languages and spoken ones you also have the language moving on without you.

If you remembered pre-C++0x, or god forbid, pre-Standard C++, it would probably hurt as much as it helped, as your old idioms would either be outdated by new std features, or outright dangerous by modern coding standards.

At least with old spoken languages, you'll just either sound like a small child or a character from an old movie, using slang that no one uses anymore.
Author here: the neat thing about Live Share in VSCode/MSVC is that both people can type at the same time, both can use the shared command line and shared debugger, and both can navigate the shared project files. Independently, of course, with each on their own color scheme and keyboard setup.

I don't want to oversell it. It's not perfect, and has loads of bugs. But the fact that we can refractor the code base with two cursors simultaneously, is actually super powerful. Often one person is typing while the other is cleaning up a typo a few characters ago. It feels like symbiosis. It's really good.

And noticeably less lag than screen sharing, too.
> First is that it makes non-compliance a pathology and assumes society is right and the patient is wrong.

My post said absolutely nothing about society or non-compliance, it spoke only about whether the patient can respond volitionally. Gay people absolutely can choose not have gay sex, it's just wrong to expect that. Outspoken women absolutely can choose to be silent, it's just wrong to expect that. Left handed people absolutely can choose to write with their non-dominant hand, it's just wrong to expect that. There is clear volitional control here.

I made this very clear with the example of Tourettes vs. someone who just likes to swear. The person with Tourettes cannot simply choose to not have verbal tics and then enact that choice, but the person who just likes swearing absolutely can. It's just a physical impossibility to regulate behaviour based on feedback or internal motivations.

> Second is that pays zero heed to ethics and what is actually good for the supposedly mentally ill person, it just labels them mentally ill if they don't do what people want without thinking of if that's best for them.

I have no idea what you mean. There's nothing unethical about pointing out that the mentally ill have a distinct behaviour in that they do not respond to specific kinds of feedback. It is in fact the starting point for ethical treatment of mental illness.
Haven't seen it since the first time I watched it, but I remember thinking the same thing - this is what it feels like to come up on mushrooms. Most movies just settle for some visual distortions, accurate or otherwise. The whole headspace and visual effect they created in this scene was eerily accurate.

EF Migrations are in a really good place now if you like/don't mind C# as a language (and you can easily embed SQL inside the C#, too, but there are benefits to being able to also run high level C# code). With today's tooling you can package your migration "runner application" as a single deployable executable for most platforms. You can build the executable once and run it in all your environments. (The same tool that updates your QA and Staging updates your Prod, testably running the same migrations.) Given the single executable deployable I might even consider using it for projects not themselves written in C#.
Probably similar to the experience of seeing the blood vessels of your retina when a focused light source moves past your eyes. I think that's something we kinda always "see", but the signal is removed by the brain before reaching consciousness, until lighting quickly changes blood vessels' shadows.

The problem is that the DC from the grid is going to be way higher voltage than the voltage to the house. There are lots of AC-AC transformers that would need to be replaced to use DC for distribution and hard to switch incrementally without a dual converter in every house. Also, AC is better for medium distance transmission, DC can boosted to super high voltage for long distance but that isn't practical inside a city.

Then, the house DC voltage is going to be higher than the electronics DC. So you'll need to have a box at every single outlet to convert DC-DC. The appliances are going to need the higher voltage house DC. And the house DC voltage is going to be more dangerous than AC. Also, there are no standards or even proposals for DC electrical system: no voltage and no outlets.

The problem is that replacing DC-AC-DC with DC-DC-DC and there isn't much savings from all those conversions. Would you replace all of your appliances for 1% savings in electrical cost?
Not understanding the mechanisms of psychiatric medications is the norm, from what I understand with my limited knowledge of psychiatry. The brain very poorly understood compared to the rest of the body. Not knowing how exactly something works doesn't make it any less effective anyways, it's a small miracle there are so many effective drugs for so many disorders with how little knowledge researchers have to work with.
You're welcome! I find daily research/work notes completely indispensable at this point.

> That appears to have already been mentioned in the article itself.

I like how you let it go that it was the opening sentence.
Technically the difference between "net zero" and "carbon neutral" is supposed to be that "net zero" first eliminates all but "residual" emissions, and only then depends on offsets, whereas "carbon neutral" is more like what you describe (no required emissions cuts; possible to just buy — often dubious — offsets).

Science Based Targets Initiative for example requires companies signing up to their scheme to have credible plans to cut emissions by ~50% by 2030 and 90% by 2050 to claim that they're aiming for "net zero" [1] (SBTI itself was recently in the news because employees felt that recent policy changes leaned too heavily on offsetting; I don't really know what the current situation there is).

In practice usage of these terms my not be well regulated, so it's always worth checking out exactly whose definitions are being used.

Good question. Temperature is a funny thing. When a system is far from equilibrium, the notion of temperature becomes a little unfamiliar.

The thermodynamic temperature of the radiation is connected to the entropy of its power spectrum. LEDs and especially lasers emit very low-entropy light, which can be focused and heat a surface up to very high temperatures. (Sunlight focused onto a surface cannot heat that surface above the temperature of the sun). Thermodynamically speaking, a low-entropy power source like a laser -- and whatever is driving it -- must have a very high exergy, which is equivalent to behaving like a high temperature heat source, even though it might feel cold to the touch.

Some more details here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exergy#Quality_of_energy_types

Stored electricity's equivalence to a high-temperature heat source is one of the things that makes it so useful. It's intrinsically connected to why it takes a lot of low-grade heat to produce a small amount of electricity in the first place, and also why electric furnaces can produce such high temperatures. So while a battery can drive an LED that shines on a PV panel that generates power with everything feeling equally warm to the touch, a temperature gradient is still necessary; it's just been moved outside the boundaries of the system, to the process that distilled the entropy out of the energy that became the battery's stored charge. We can reversibly recreate this temperature gradient by driving a Carnot engine with that battery, instead of a laser.
Not surprising at all; the App's screenshots bared more than a passing resemblance to GBA4iOS: https://github.com/CocoaBob/GBA4iOS

Really just makes you think how much easier things would be if you could simply distribute Open Source apps safely on iOS. This one-two step of ad-ridden forks and who-knows-what isn't making things any easier for users. Nobody wants good software to be polluted with anti-features and redistributed by someone that isn't the maintainer.
> It highlights how the original white anglo saxon Protestant population of americans had the same fears as you mentioned with catholic italian and irishmen coming in and changing the culture of the country.

But they did change it, into something completely different. America was supposed to be like what you might still see in some small New England towns, with decentralized power and an actively engaged, self-governing citizenry. If you were someone in 1920 who thought WASP culture was a good thing, your fears were completely validated. That country doesn't exist anymore.
> Why not? Some of the best investigative journalism I've read has been on Substack.

Do you have examples of important stories broken on Substack?

Greenwald has broken a few huge stories in his life, but in general he's not an investigative journalist. Rather, he's a political commentator, and that's what he does on Substack. In fact neither Greenwald nor Laura Poitras was an investigative journalist; that's not why Edward Snowden selected them.
> There are already so many ways to defeat locks, that locks are just there to keep honest people honest and to slow down criminals.

If you live at a lower end apartment complex, you might be shocked at how many doors your key will unlock, if you apply a light turning pressure and thrust the key in and out a few times.

I know I was. But it came in handy when one of my xmas gifts had been delivered to the front office, and I needed to pick it up after hours in order to make a redeye flight the next morning. I just used my own room key to open the office (setting off the alarm!), grabbed the package with my name on it, and closed and relocked the door and was gone before anyone investigated.

There’s been some studies into magnetics for neuropathy treatment, migraines, etc. They are called PEMF devices but most are quite expensive ~ $5k.
That was my thought too, shoved through slots in a marble countertop.
You may have the means to buy one, but do you also have the means to own one?

Even ignoring all theose expensive quality issues, some Teslas seem to be a money sink:

The tl;dr seems to be that Apple pulled it because it's just a white-labeled build of Riley's (of AltStore fame) Delta/GBA4iOS, not because it's an emulator. The README on Riley's repo says:

> Due to the licensing of emulator cores used by Delta, I have no choice but to distribute Delta under the AGPLv3 license. That being said, I explicitly give permission for anyone to use, modify, and distribute all my original code for this project in any form, with or without attribution, without fear of legal consequences — unless you plan to submit your app to Apple’s App Store, in which case written permission from me is explicitly required.

So it sounds like Apple is going out of their way to enforce the non-standard licensing clause of some third-party developer (who until this weekend would have been considered a somewhat hostile party from Apple's perspective)? Is there any precedent for this, or is it just a convenient excuse?
FWIW, the stories on this Web site appear to be fictional. I just read the lengthy https://www.stimmel-law.com/en/articles/story-13-adverse-pos... which is about a retired machinist engaging in boat jousts on Shaw Lake in Golden Gate Park. There's no trace of a real person named Benjamin McIsserson, and no Shaw Lake in Golden Gate Park. (It's probably a stand-in for Spreckels Lake, which was built for model boats but which has never hosted combat between them.)

So take it with a grain of salt.
I took a bunch of meetings with the CEO of a company providing HR/payroll services.

Super nice guy and I thought his business/offering was really compelling, it just wasn't right for me at the time.

Like 6 months later it comes out that he had stolen like $25 million from clients over the year (money that was supposed to be used to pay payroll taxes).

Never would've guessed it.

> No is out there storing a bunch of stuff they don't need on purpose, running out of memory, then calling it a day.

There are a lot of people (such as my students) that would take a DP problem, solve with recursion, throw some caching [0] in and call it a day. They are often surprised by the 1000x speedups using a DP algorithm instead, no caching needed.

I'm sorry, but I still don't get the argument you are making. That DP is part of programming? Well, yes?
And no philosophy worth anything would put any of the things you listed on the path to happiness. In fact, generally speaking, they are the opposite.

> if you don't have metrics for cpu/memory/storage how do you know when to scale the app

When the business metrics start to fail. You don't need constant metics on storage, you can poll it every so often. If your app is constrained by CPU or RAM, then the business metrics will reflect that, and then you can turn on collection of those metrics to identify the problem.

> i feel like you have never touched servers/backend in anything more than simple projects (or at all). with full storage/memory there could be an issue that you won't be able to ssh to the server, so it speaks about your knowledge in this matter.

I ran all of ops for reddit for four years and headed up SRE at Netflix, so I have some experience in large scale systems. Not that it should matter.

Stock market go brrr.

Since the eighties we've generally trended towards executives making awful decisions in service of the great number in the sky - irrational and arbitrary layoffs, consistent undercompensation, wealth hoarding, underinvestment in long term profits... these are all common place or expected in your standard 9-5 corporate America job.
You're only showing that a large number of countries don't have the moral backbone to condemn Russian aggression.

This is not about the "Global South" or the "collective West".

Ukraine was invaded by a nuclear "superpower" - a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Its people are subjected to forced deportations and genocide. Russia's actions are those of a terrorist nation, and I expect you and everyone else to condemn it without reservation.

I hope that is clear.
Don't go to production with what's in "getting started".
Per the comments on the article:

>If you check the twitter thread, he didn't create a CPU, or anything close to one. As far as I can tell, he just took some circuits that others created (e.g., debouncer, pwm) and hooked them up to create a 3 channel LED controller that can output a pulse signal. That's it. He did go through the rest of the flow (synthesis, STA, P&R, etc.) but it seems to be the core only, there's no pads or anything to connect the chip to a package, it's just the core logic.

His complaints about the inability to find any details on GPU architectures strikes me as weird because there's a wealth of information about it out there, especially if (as he clarifies in later posts in his thread) you're ignoring the fixed function and graphics aspects of a GPU and just making it GPGPU, at which point the architecture is largely "high-way SMT in-order CPU architecture with SIMD execution units"--nothing out of the ordinary in any advanced computer architecture course.
Show HN: BuddyBreeds, a dog directory built with AI-created images and content
Greetings, Jay here.

This was a side experiment.

Primary goals:

1. Test using MidJourney for website image creation

2. Test using ChatGPT for data creation

3. Determine the best breed for my family's first dog

AI pain points:

- Getting MidJourney to create similarly-styled images

- Hitting usage limits with GPT 4 (created it when they were much less generous than now)

Created a year ago (April 2023). Took maybe a week of after-hours work.

Was wondering how much organic traffic it might get on its own without any marketing efforts. Result: little to none (!). In the past month, however, it's been organically getting a little Google traffic.

Love building things, hate marketing them (sounds familiar, right?).

Figured I'd share it here to see what feedback folks might have.

Grateful for feedback!
He was fired for poor performance.

An orbital mirror could be a relatively simple option to allow acceleration during the night and multiply the solar energy during the day. Plenty large target, less atmospheric distortion/losses so shouldn't be all that hard to hit.
I don’t understand what exactly Apple’s objection is, given that the original is GPL’d open source and not present on the app store. One person’s “knockoff” is another person’s fork.
> Just one problem: you won’t find any SDR on the market that will claim to be able to sample a wave oscillating over a billion times a second.

This was true, but not any more. You can get truly impressive “direct RF sampling” or “direct RF conversion” receivers that are more than fast enough for GPS. For example:

Xilinx RFSoc: https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/903/ds889_zynq_usp_rfsoc_...

A nice National Instruments article: https://www.ni.com/en/solutions/aerospace-defense/radar-elec...

And their referenced off-the-shelf hardware: https://www.ni.com/en-us/shop/category/flexrio-custom-instru...

One might be forgiven for being a bit puzzled as to why NI thinks that direct RF conversion is cost-effective but nonetheless sells the device for $30k :) That being said, if I were prototyping a system that wanted phase-coherent wideband reception around 3 GHz and I had a proper lab and budget, I’d buy a few of these. If I were to go to production, I’d either wait for costs of a homemade board to come down a bit or see whether a traditional heterodyne receiver could do the trick.

Hmm. For military applications, if I were concerned about really advanced RF-seeking weapons pointed at me, a direct conversion receiver is probably great — there won’t be any leakage of the LO that an enemy device could try to detect.
I'd guess Riley Testut (creator of GBA4iOS, which this app ripped off) is working on putting emulators on the App Store. (I don't know if he's announced this intention or not, but it seems likely)

His emulator collection "Delta" is the flagship app of AltStore, which uses Apple's Developer program to let you sideload apps without jailbreaking your iOS. It's all pretty above-board, and if Nintendo wasn't the one to take this app down, it would be a perfect fit.
Pfft. I had a medium-grade bike lock in college, and I once accidentally stole a bike because somebody with the same color/model/lock parked in front of the same building as me. My key was a bit stiff and I kind of had to force it, but it worked fine. I just remember thinking "why does this seat feel different?" Took me a couple of days to figure it out. I put it back- sure hope the original owner came and looked again after his initial disappointment that day.
This is well worth the read, and though it's a Discworld novel it can stand pretty much alone if you want it to.

Once you realize just how firmly you're on the side of Moist and how identical Gilt is, then you can meditate for awhile on the world.
Many CCD cameras used for astronomy use a TEC stack to cool the sensor. Separating the cold and the hot side is paramount. Haven't used it in space, but I'd probably use a vapor phase heat pipe to move the heat as far away as possible before radiating the rest of the heat away.
Thinking back to one manager I had that everyone loved for similar reasons, and I remember now that he had a military background. I never thought then that it might be connected.
