If you have to do as much as he does to get in the flow then you have no idea what flow is nor how to enter it. Much of what is says is a great help to seeing flow however.

To find flow all you have to do is look around you because you are already in it.

Flow is always happening and it is not personal to any one being.

To get in the flow of a river you just have to jump in it. The minute you try to make the "perfect" river to jump in, that is man made flow, and not natural flow.

One can even be in the flow while using social media.

All you have to do is let go.

Anyone looking for flow I would advise they read Zhuang Zhou:

"Horses can with their hoofs tread on the hoarfrost and snow, and with their hair withstand the wind and cold; they feed on the grass and drink water; they prance with their legs and leap:-- this is the true nature of horses. Though there were made for them grand towers and large dormitories, they would prefer not to use them. But when Po-lâo (arose and) said, 'I know well how to manage horses,' (men proceeded) to singe and mark them, to clip their hair, to pare their hoofs, to halter their heads, to bridle them and hobble them, and to confine them in stables and corrals. (When subjected to this treatment), two or three in every ten of them died. (Men proceeded further) to subject them to hunger and thirst, to gallop them and race them, and to make them go together in regular order. In front were the evils of the bit and ornamented breastbands, and behind were the terrors of the whip and switch. (When so treated), more than half of them died."
I have no particular knowledge of this topic but from this 1998 BBC article http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/128684.stm :

Semi-submersibles--which is what Sea Launch was (former Ocean Odyssey)--are pretty stable. The marine risers (i.e. the big pipes that connect to the subsea blowout preventer) don't tolerate a lot of angle. Source: Used to work on, among other things, offshore drilling rig mooring analysis.

But I can imagine all sorts of reasons why using an offshore platform introduces a bunch of challenges that launching from land doesn't have. Though of course, the ability to get away from people is a plus too.
We are multi-cloud, multi-region, multi-environment, multi-deployment with hundreds of AWS accounts.

This is split over hundreds of microservice repositories, each of which maintains its own Terraform.

We don't read state from other Terraform deployments, and use published reusable modules when convenient and a tfvars file for every deployment.

At this point I can't imagine doing Terraform any other way.
Not a calculator engineer but this seems hideously complex?
The lower case "e" in gothic cursive often looks like a lower case "r". If you see one of these: ſ maybe you think "ah, I know that one, that's an S!" and yes, it is, but some scribes when writing a capital H makes something that looks a LOT like it. You need context to disambiguate. Think of it as a cryptogram: if you see a certain squiggle in a context where it's clearly an "r", you can assume that the other squiggles that look like that are "r"s too. Familiarity with a scribe's hand is often necessary to disambiguate squiggles, especially in words such as proper names, where linguistic context doesn't help you a lot. And it's often the proper names which are the most interesting part of a document.

But yes, writers can change style too. Mercifully, just like we sometimes use all caps for surnames, so some writers would use antika-style handwriting (i.e. what we use today) for proper names in a document which is otherwise all gothic-style handwriting. But this certainly doesn't happen consistently enough that you can rely on it, and some writers have so messy handwriting that even then, you need context to know what they're doing.
The premise of being a segmented run uploaded by an amateur a decade ago provides a _lot_ of leeway.
There's a quote from the photographer in the article: "Brutalist architecture in Japan might not ruffle feathers locally but it’s considered divisive elsewhere."

I agree the article title is confusing.

On the other hand, I love brutalism and have found myself having to defend it lately in a way I didn't think would happen.
The few people I know doing visual design still balk at a program that lacks native CMYK editing. Honestly I'm still skeptical about the significant improvements made for 3.0 due to the project's history.

I remember CMYK being the most common complaint (after the UI) 20 years ago, too. And at the time the entire GIMP project insisted that you never needed it and RGB was good enough. By coders for coders, indeed.
Can you keep going? Because if you met me I am sure you would ask; "How do you live like that?"
Don’t pay for those—problem solved. No one is forcing us to do any of these things.

Yelling at the cloud will rarely solve this. Blaming profit mega-corps for our woes is like trying to warm up the Earth to battle winter instead of just getting a thermostat or moving to a warmer climate.
Buddhists are humans too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There's also the Rohingyan genocide where Buddhist nationalism is involved.

I'm not sure why it wouldn't work with the apps? I have my jellyfin server behind a CF tunnel and I can access it in the Android app by my domain.
My imagination is they will be snarky and disappointed, comparing it unfavourably with the stories of golem-equivalents, just as we do by comparing them with Commander Data:

> Gurak of the Deep Green squinted at the gleaming figure before him, arms crossed, expression caught between boredom and mild professional disappointment. “Hnh,” he grunted, rapping a knuckle against its polished chest. Solid. Clumsy joints. No proper soul-stone, just blinking lights like a drunk firefly. The shaman’s stories had warned of stone men who walked and talked, ancient servants of forgotten gods, but none of them had beeped apologetically when poked. He spat thoughtfully into the dirt. “You’re one of those, then,” he said, turning away. “Try not to fall in the river. The last one rusted.”

Great resource! For my calculator I also wanted to tackle physics, which expands on the number definition with measurement error size.

It is suprisingly hard problem.

Almost no one has done that calculator app, properly. When I mean properly, I mean a complete calculator, like the TI-89.

I am using, in Android, and emulator for the TI-89 calculator.

Because no Android app has half the features, and works as well.

Doubt. Still, even if that's accurate, my point was that raising people to be easily manipulated sheep doesn't produce a robust society. It just makes them easier to exploit. MLMs are common in predominantly Mormon communities for a reason.
At least they can claim they are bound by the prime directive. I wonder what is the equivalent for anthropologists
Show HN: System-info-now – Aggregate system debug data for LLM troubleshooting
system-info-now is a lightweight command-line utility that aggregates your system’s debugging data into a well-structured JSON snapshot. It scans your computer for a comprehensive set of details—from OS and hardware specifications to network configurations, running processes, and even language-specific diagnostics for Python and JavaScript. Currently, it supports macOS only, but Linux and Windows support are coming soon.

By unifying all this information into one JSON file, system-info-now creates an ideal input for LLM-driven analysis. This structured snapshot enables you to leverage advanced AI tools—even running offline with local models—to correlate real-time system metrics with historical logs, accelerating troubleshooting and enhancing system administration. Whether you're streamlining debugging workflows or setting up proactive network support, this tool makes it easier to prepare your environment for intelligent, AI-assisted diagnostics.

Check it out and let me know what you think!
I can only assume your political leanings are clouding your judgement.

The mass media has been caught in massive lies that exposed not only incompetence but a willingness to be the mouthpiece of the government when it’s convenient.

What is worse is unlike the “alternative media” (I still don’t know what you mean exactly) the mass media had the trust of Americans and the means to actually do investigative work to back up their stories. But they failed on both - they parroted lies without checking and in some cases repeated talking points knowing they likely weren’t true.

The Iraq War, Covid origins, Russiagate, Hunter Biden’s laptop just to name a few egregious lies that has big impacts on Americans and the world. Impacts that include the deaths of hundreds of thousands.

If you can name a few doozies like that from the “alternative media” I’d be interested to hear about it.

And the “alternative media” doesn’t have either the means nor the trust to do those sorts of things. What they mostly do is call BS on the mass media, and sure don’t always get it right, but even that track record I’d argue is better than the mass media.
The argument here is that this is exactly how (mostly) European societies hell-bent on colonization have been justifying their actions for five hundred years, with different variations of "amazing stuff" (salvation, weapons, trade goods, technology, medicine...). It's almost universally led to these tribes being subjugated, enslaved, exploited or just murdered outright. Humanity has a terrible track-record on this topic, and we should learn from our mistakes and just leave them alone.
For an everyday use calculator? Sure. It's still fun and challenging to create a calculator that can handle "as much" math/arithmetics as possible.
A roof, walls, windows and net in the windows to keep mosquitoes away at night, and avoid malaria and similar mosquito transmited illness. I'd add Chagas-Mazza that is tranmited by other bug but it's probably endemic there.

During tje first year, children get like 20 or 25 vaccines. Some of the ilness are very rare and they may not know them, but other are just severe diarhea caused by a common bacteria. And add antibiotics for other common problems.

The most useful part of Jellyfin is on-the fly transcoding to whatever bit rate I want at any particular time, no matter where I might be. I've watched stuff off my server on a train with terrible connectivity by setting it to 360p. If you only watch at home, then it's probably not that useful to you. I also like all the library features and tracking my per episode watch history for shows.
It is possible that the original article is no longer accessible online.

The only link I have found is a reproduction of the article[1], but I am unable to access the full text due to a paywall. I no longer have access to academic resources or library memberships that would provide access.

My Google search query was:

which returned exactly one result.

I suspect the article's low visibility in standard Google searches, requiring operators like 'inurl:', might be because its PageRank is low due to insufficient backlinks.

Apple TV+ used the International Conference Center in Kyoto as the location for the headquarters of a weird dystopian robotics company in their series "Sunny" and it was perfect.

(The show started out promising but didn't really work by the end and was canceled on a cliffhanger.)
Well I think you might kind of be making my point-- not because I agree with you: I don't, I think man's ongoing impact on the atmosphere and climate is an important issue. And collectivist humanity is smart enough and wealthy enough to spare some resources on protecting our own future. But it's not an issue we're going to move the needle on with any amount of mandatory no-flow showerheads.

Intrusive regulation makes environmental concerns into people's enemy.

Because stuff costs money everyone already has an incentive to conserve. We can enhance that though lower impact methods like disclosure, monitoring, optional eco modes that can easily be disabled.

I suspect that considering the long term impact if there is virtually any public backlash these efforts are ultimately net negative.
Oh that makes more sense. My bad.

Maybe it was, genuinely, too much excitement when saluting the crowd. It is obvious to me and I’m really surprised so many people were talked into believing it was anything else than a mistake.

The first thing any self respecting python dev is going to do on a new repo is implement typechecking. And the second thing they're going to do is complain about pip/pyenv.

These days I would trade my python experience for scala, even knowing it'd mean less job prospects. We make a lot of excuses for python.

Less infectious diseases like colds etc. that spread human-to-human seems likely given the isolation and lower population numbers. Where would the diseases come from?

Of course, if they don't have access to antibiotics, they have other much worse kinds of sickness to deal with, and even their relatively simple lifestyle will be hard to maintain without hard work...

Operationally, Twitter is performing better than it did when it had 5x the headcount.

According to reports, revenue is down, but that's more due to advertisers objecting to Musk content moderation decisions (plus politics no doubt).
Berlin SO 36!
You would need to be severely intellectually challenged to think Musk actually intended to give a Nazi salute. The idea is so preposterous I refuse to believe you actually believe that. Or perhaps I am underestimating how detached from reality political fervor can make people.
I am not based in the US, and I currently work for one of the top 100 universities of the world (the lower 50 part, though).
Yeah, I am pretty tired of what seems like Musk fanboys flagging everything negative about Musk. A government agency, DOGE, not caring the slightest about security and getting hacked definitely did not deserve to be flagged like it was a few days ago.

You are wrong on two accounts.

There are plenty of ways for getting rid of underperformers in a goverment organisation. I've seen entire teams being sacked, and also some of the hardest working people I know work for goverment organisations.

Also, you cannot run the goverment like an startup that is always running on the edge. A majority of startups fail and that's fine, but one goverment organisation failing could cause problems for the entire country.

I would guess he couldn't conceive the concept of a computer, a machine immeasurably more complex than anything he has seen before, considering he even has trouble understanding a lighter. To him, ChatGPT would just be a mystery the same way the computer was one.

Not because he is stupid, just because he completely lacks a frame of reference, the same way our children today would be stumped by a rotary wheel telephone or a vinyl cylinder, or our Area51-esque scientist not able to understand a truly alien spacecraft.

Trump got saved by the pandemic so we can call his policies “unprecedented” for unprecedented times. It hides a lot of how poor he did.

No, these AI companies are burning through huge amounts of cash to keep the thing running. They're competing for market share - the real question is will anyone ever pay for this? I'm not convinced they will.
Investigating the Roots of the Natural-Supernatural Dichotomy
There is a difference between cruelty and arbitrariness. It isn't cruelty.

They're going up against a world-class bureaucracy; a human powered machine that is excellent at dragging out changes beyond the term of any politician. Something like "Yes, Minister" is a comedy show except a lot of it is fairly true - they aren't going to get anything done without doing something drastic like cutting a lot of functions and seeing what happens. Otherwise it'll keep growing.

Also, all employees are just cogs in the machine. You can totally lay off that grizzled senior dev and hire a kid fresh out of college, what’s the difference? It’s not like there was any institutional logic locked up in the senior’s head right?

Anyone know of a comparison of the linked paper's algorithm to how Gavin Howard's 'bc' CLI calculator does it?
So it is actually both eating and excreting Javascript.
Certainly exceptions exist to every rule or trend.

Having visited over a hundred churches (for thousands of services), they are the only place I've consistently seen people teach and accept things that what everyone can plainly see is false. Children are taught that fallacies are better than critical thinking, wherever it serves their belief system.

Blue Origin management has been talking some crazy shit about building and launching as many as 12 launches this year and 25 rockets in 2026. That's not something they said years ago, they said this a few months ago. There's no conceivably way they manage it but they're saying it anyway, which means Bezos must be supplying them with some good cocaine.
If they were so effective that they brought Telsa's value to zero, I think it would still have no effect on Musk's activity at DOGE. Hopefully it's at least cathartic for the protestors.

Depends on what you mean by “keep going.” Does a decade and a half mean I became successful? Then yeah.

I come from a middle-class SEA family, where education and frugality are bolted into our DNA, even when we can afford nice things. So it’s a bit easier for me.

However, I see my left-brained Western friends struggle with this quite a lot. Many self-diagnose as having ADHD, need therapy, and can’t seem to win the fight against all the nonsense large corporations throw at us. So I understand that it’s probably difficult.

The real question is why people think Twitter's lost revenue is linked to Musk's management. There doesn't seem to be a theory about a causal link. If anything the argument is "Musk is a bad person -> Twitter lost revenue" which suggests his management practices had no effect on the company's operation.
I'm talking about strict test-first development here, where you write the tests before you write the implementation.

If you're using snapshot tests (a technique I really like) surely you can't write the tests before the implementation, because you need the implementation in order to generate the snapshot?

(This is what I hate about the term TDD: sometimes it means test-first, sometimes it doesn't - which leads to frustrating conversations where people are talking past each other.)

Over-produced electricity can be stored by the private party in a local vehicle/wall battery.

Through a grid it may be sent to a plant which will produce green hydrogen, or to a dam (pumped-storage hydroelectricity)... or sent to another region (even quite remote, via some (U)HVDC line) which will use/store it.
A grudge?

They've just been put into a strong negotiating position, because now both parties acknowledge that these are key employees.
