What's funny is I've never been a routine guy but I've fallen into becoming one.

I run 6 times a week because I feel significantly better when I am running every day. The reward for me is so significant that getting myself running requires 0 mental effort or preparation. I live in a very hot and humid climate, if I run even at 8 am it's so hot it's uncomfortable. Because of this I'm waking up and running at around 6:30 am.

I also fall asleep at 11 pm like clockwork. Not because I have a schedule but because I'm so tired I have to sleep then.

I commit code to github almost every single day. I actually really just enjoy programming.

I should become a hustle culture influencer
When your "compressed database" is both larger and slower to query than the plaintext, has an unstable on disk format, and isn't even crash safe like journald's database I have to assume it's a sick joke and not a serious upgrade from plaintext logs on a (compressing) file system.

During Covid when my entire routine process was disrupted by work from home where I couldn’t do my daily thing I basically became the least productive person on my team. On days where my morning is severely disrupted basically the whole day is shot.

I generally can adapt to long term new situations by inventing new routines but I fall apart without structure.

I’ll be the first to acknowledge it’s a bad thing but it is what it is. I’m sure the commenter above is similar
When I went to Chile I was about to undertake a cross-country move across the US. Everybody I spoke to in Santiago couldn't imagine a country where you can drive a massive distance like that and move from one major metropolis to another. At the time, I thought they were just reflecting on the fact that Chile is a country where 40% of all people live in one metro area, so there isn't another huge metro area to move to.

Looking at those maps, I understand their incredulity. Because of the shape of Chile, you can drive a similar distance and basically cover the entire country, rural, urban, and suburban. It's both a large country and a small one at the same time.
Introduction to Embedding Models
Structure is meant to be broken. But the breaking of structure only works if you have it.

I struggle to have a good routine but spontaneity happens more often when I do.

If I go to the gym at 5:30 and do chores at 7 and go to work at 8 and eat lunch at noon and read at 6 and eat dinner at 7 and work on personal projects at 8 and go to bed at 10:30 then if something comes up I can say "I have an hour at lunch, lets meet" Or "I will skip my personal projects today and go to so and so's house"

If I'm just constantly chaotic then I'm always feeling harried and like I don't have time for anything. And even if I do make time for something spontaneous, then I'm feeling like I'm stealing time from myself even though I didn't really have anything planned during that time anyways.

Also 10x work is a silly idea to me. Progress happens in almost all areas because of consistency. Research, fitness, home life, relationships, work. They grow or produce or increase because you do them regularly not because you had some magical insight and suddenly need to disappear into a hole for a week to work on it.

His section on breaking routine feels like it completely misses the point.

"Serendipity loves randomness and hates routine"

There's also a saying that luck favors the prepared.

Rarely have a read a piece that is mostly well-written that resonates so poorly with me. It's like every insight he has is the opposite of my lived experience.
Testing for marijuana does not provide accurate data with respect to when it was consumed. It could have been a factor in the crash, or it could have been consumed days to weeks in the past, as the study author states: “Our testing methods for cannabis remain suboptimal and individuals can test positive for cannabis weeks after they have consumed it.”
Without additional signal, this news basically boils down to "An illegal thing is made legal. People in car accidents are found to have used the legal thing." Not implying that cannabis doesn't impair one's ability to operate a motor vehicle, but there isn't nearly enough data in this story to do anything scientifically useful with that notion.

Are we seeing a spike in traffic fatalities? Are roads getting less safe? Because without some reason to chase the numbers, we're just left with "people in car accidents did legal things before getting in those accidents." Like... Did you know accidents involving cellphones went up after the invention of the cellphone? And good thing we finally ended the reign of terror that is accidents involving tape-deck / audio jack converters thanks to Bluetooth...

(ETA): The trend in accidents over the past decade has been mostly flat, with a bit of a spike as of late. Hard to disambiguate the cause of that spike between other causes and "After COVID we dumped a lot of people back onto the road who hadn't been driving for a year or two." https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/yearl...

It sounds so good in theory, but in practice:

1. Frequently old code needs to be touched or refactored. Feature flag would not be enough.

2. Even feature flag itself can be a risky addition, and might affect existing customer usage.

Most of the time old code does need to be touched, there really aren't those perfect new isolated features, at least in my experience.
To be fair, it seems easier to change how you say something than to change how you perceive something.

I don't think you can conclude that, because gig workers are not comparable to coal miners.
Nobody believes that a new AC unit or floor boards should be free. Yet some think that all software must be free, just because it's possible to losslessly copy software but not AC units or floor boards.

A healthy society both needs a venue for people who want to provide things at no cost - the payment being the enjoyment of doing it when other sources of income exist - and for people to charge for the fruits of their labor.
In my experience latency is more of a problem than throughput, but then again, totally depends on the kind of application you're building.

Also worth noting that a lot of the videos posted claiming to be “people being drafted” are actually videos of the police just arresting criminals…

Indeed. Are you going to get 10x pay for 10x work? No. Very rarely, for certain types of contractor. But this particular type of hustle culture is more like buying 10x lottery tickets - you do get 10x more chances to hit it big, but from a low baseline.
Meanwhile cars are allowed to get bigger, heavier and thus more dangerous (SUV and Pickup trucks). See https://youtu.be/jN7mSXMruEo?si=GvZy7BC7AqwsFmUW
Not as an excuse for a driver to take seat after drinking too much alcohol or taking cannabis. I find it a rearguard action by concentrating too much on the driver and not on the weapon (car) itself. In my opinion a more difficult but more worthwhile is to make infrastructure more safe in general.

tldr: the author confuses plain text (aka, storing in ascii files) with storing in some binary format (whatever it is). Said confusion makes the whole post worthless, in my opinion.
The M16 platform has small projectiles, but there’s a lot of powder behind them.

They are pretty loud, more so if you’re to the left or, especially, right where the ejection port sits.

My guess for SEALs is the breaching charges play a big role. Carl Gustafs are notorious as well, but I don't know whether SEALs use them. US Army Special Forces do.

Edit: Yeah, I should clarify to say the M16 is more likely to cause hearing damage, but not brain damage. The concussive force isn't that bad.
Fine Structure's ending is very optimistic, in fact. (edit: a lot of his short stories are, too.) But yeah, Ra is rather bleak. I guess it's not for everyone, but if you came in from "There Is No Antimemetics Division" it won't bother you.
I think routine enables or facilitates feedback and control.

If I do the same exercise routine for example, it’s easier for me to detect changes in my body (positive or negative) and react to them.
Or you know you can just ignore robots.txt like everyone else. What do you think robots.txt does exactly?
I can't comment about about other statement.

But there are serious drawbacks if you don't set requests/limits for mission-critical process, is that they can be killed by kernel to free some resources (if the node reach max resource usage)

When you don't set cpu/memory limit your pod QoS class is burstable, which better then BestEffort, but still get assigned `oom_score_adj` score. IMHO you almost 99% you want `Guaranteed` for critical process.

Linus didn’t write git because the BitKeeper license had changed exactly, he did it because Larry McVoy yanked Linux off the platform after Andrew Tridgell (of Samba and rsync fame) started poking around at the protocol to reverse engineer it. It turned out BK was so buggy that that alone was enough to corrupt other repos on the server, so McVoy just went and disabled Linux’s access without warning.

Linus was pretty steamed at the participants in that debacle (especially Tridge for some reason) and named his replacement for what he thought of them. Now you know.

It can be hard sometimes to come up with names that aren't already in use. I think as long as it's clear in the description what it is, and the same name isn't shared for two projects that do approximately the same thing, maybe it's not so bad. There could also be an issue where command names might be the same so one would have to be changed. I recall this may have been a small issue when the Go language was new, as there was also a game of go available in some distro repositories. I believe that's generally solved now.
Hard to know what level of causality there is for cannabis and car crashes. Smartphones on the other hand are known to distract our eyes, hands, and attention. Would love to see more automated/camera enforcement of cell phone use while driving. If it were a finable and enforced offense, my city could make millions from any given intersection over the course of a week.
There are lots of substack sites like this. Probably the new blogspot. The newsletter modal is because that's a choose piece of substack.
Hindsight fallacy here, though the author sort of acknowledges the issue:

> "Imagine the thousands of tasks you did in the past year and sort them by impact. How many of them actually moved the needle?"

If you instead try to predict the impact factor or long-term result of a given task/activity in advance, how good would your predictions be?

> "However, I’m convinced that you can create an environment where 10x work is more likely to come up."

This sounds like the gambler's fallacy of retrospective determinism, which involves looking at historical data and seeing patterns, leading to the erroneous conclusion that these patterns dictate future outcomes. It ignores the inherent randomness and independence of certain events.

The argument for daily routines is that they keep you involved and engaged, so that if an opportunity does randomly arise, you're ready to run with it.
Everyone who doesn't post these is already a public example.

How to Deploy a React App to GitHub Pages

This article will guide you through the steps to deploy your React app to GitHub Pages.
If it was sharp, they would be identical. The “blurriness” is doubling, where the lines are not quite aligned. Red text there show you content that is in one and not the other.
Yeah! Embrace serendipity! Flip a coin to decide whether to take your antipyschotic today!

On a more serious note, I've found that routines are necessary for me to be happy. Once I've established a routine, I can break it, but if I don't have a routine, I'll usually just do nothing. I sense that the author is coming from the opposite perspective. He's probably a very conscientious and energetic striver and is trying to break free from that.
Personally it takes me a couple days to re-cement a routine after missing a day. Which means I can maintain my routines as long as I don't miss more than a day or two a week. I used to schedule a weekly rest day with no routines and no checklists, but now with kids I just let those days fall as needed.

The real issue is skipping several days in a row. If I drop my routines for a weeklong vacation it takes more than a month to build them back.

One thing I've discovered for myself is that the routine doesn't decay as quickly if I at least maintain a placeholder. For example, even if I don't have time to do an exercise routine I can usually do five pushups. Even if I can't meditate for ten minutes, I can still sit and breathe for a minute. Even if I can't do all the dishes before bed, I can scrape them off. That makes it much easier to resume the routine. It doesn't deepen the rut but it does prevent it from being washed away.

When you say dead code elimination, do you mean if I import some huge library just to use a single function, the bindler will shimmy things about so only the single function is being included in package and not the big library?

If so, that's amazingly helpful, I'm mostly over in python data land and I wish that existed for applications, although admittedly there's less need.

As I mentioned, asm is often a pessimization. GCC has a lot of useful builtins though.
Land registry in Germany is per city/town/municipality. Since land doesn't really move, it is always registered in the municipality where it is located. All titles, mortgages, owners and weirdnesses (local shepherd having the right to graze his sheep on your land) are registered locally. Downside is that e.g. taking a mortgage on your house incurs the additional cost of recording the mortgage in the land registry and removing the record after the mortgage is paid.
As far as individual commits, you can see the scope yourself: https://github.com/kjk/edna/commits/main/

Yes, I like to work in relatively small, but logical, commits.

Yes, I did have clear goals in mind. I knew I wanted multiple notes, storing notes on disk, command palette, encryption etc.

I was writing the app for myself and using it every day, which helps with motivation and knowing what to do next.

There were also changes based on usage. For example, I've added a top nav bar but occasionally it would obscure the text so I made it hidden when typing.

One of the uses of Edna is keeping track of what I want to do next.

I have a note for each project, including Edna, and I keep a list of ideas there, sorted by the most important things at the top.

That way I can jump start the day quickly by looking at that note and picking one of the items to implement.
I was all set to defend Scheme, which has several extremely high performance implementations—and then realized you probably just meant Smalltalk, an entirely different language, and picked the wrong 1970s minimalist language starting with S.

Being able to hear what others cannot is a social handicap. You can't stop.
When you are developing an information system but don't want to pay for SQS in development or in production; for running tests with SQLite instead of MySQL/Postgres though.

SQS and heavier ESBs are overkill for some applications, and underkill for others where an HA configuration for the MQ / task queue is necessary.

Maybe we should consider something post-capitalism then. This rhetoric of "There's No Alternative" repeated ad nauseam on HN is very unimaginative.

This system has no imbued morals or ethics, and the more we try to imbue some to it the more it fights back (again, the ad nauseam "less regulation" repeated over here). We need a new system that evolves this bullshit into something more humane.

It's not like the USA with its hypercapitalism, and absurdly immense wealth has achieved the greatest utopia on Earth so we kinda know capitalism is not the final answer.

Shared pointers are _great_. But, yeah, shared pointers don't _solve_ memory management problems and people still need to understand how pointers work and memory lifetimes. This continues to be hard for a lot of people. :/
Beyond Compare is one of those priceless tools I pay for myself instead of waiting for my employer to pay for it. Price/functionality wise it's worth its weight in gold, it's cross platform, and its licensing is very liberal. There's just no FOSS compare tools out there that can match BC.

The post recommends setting both request and limit for memory. It's only for CPU that it says to use a request and not a limit. It's my understanding that the kernel only kills processes when it's out of memory. In the docs you linked, there doesn't seem to be an "eviction signal" for CPU.
Well, he hasn’t argued that he’s innocent; that the evidence is fabricated. The evidence is stuff he tweets. He argues that the system allows these mean people too much time to talk and scheme.
I think you’re underestimating how much ChatGPT is already creeping into people’s lives. We now have studies are showing it’s in 10% of new scientific papers, for example. It came up in Matteo Lane’s latest comedy special where someone used it to write a rejection text to someone they were dating. It’s already enshitifting the internet and being used by Russian political bots on Twitter.

Keep in mind it came out about 1.5 years ago. That is insane market capture in a wide diversity of ways already.
Ask HN: Why are defenders more reliable on penalty kicks?
In a previous job, I had to validate the output of an unreliable production publishing system, so I tested dozens of PDF comparison tools available at the time. The best I found was called Delta Walker. It was proprietary commercial Mac-only software, but reasonably inexpensive, accurate, and could handle long PDFs with lots of graphics well.

I remember evaluating this diff-pdf tool and finding that it fell short in some way, although it's been so long that I don't recall the specifics. Most of them failed to identify changes or reported false positives. I also remember being disappointed since this one was open source and could easily be scripted.
