I would just say that choosing to work more than 40 hrs per week is very different to being forced to work 40 hrs per week. Simply because someone can happily choose more work hours does not mean that the de facto standard should be that high or even at 40 hrs.

I run a Arch with the newest GPU drivers and the Compton compositor. I still have significant screen tearing in every app except video games with v-sync enabled and mpv with the vulkan backend.

I would be interested if Rapid Serial Visual Presentation breaks this rule for any language. My guess is that it wouldn't, but I would be fascinated to find out. I would guess that languages with more general density of information per word would force the reader to slow their words per minute rate. Anecdotally, I can read with RSVP at around 620 words per minute in English and retain general comprehension. Sadly, I don't know another language well enough to compare that information with anything.

As a someone who falls into the semi-veg bucket, I would say I agree. It is mostly from an environmental concern, but I am also uncomfortable with factory farming. The thing that surprised me the most is that I don't really crave meat. Anecdotally, I now feel sluggish and tired after eating meat.

I kinda agree with you with a few nebulous exceptions. One, me, and most single people I know, would be perfectly fine with meeting some going about a day, i.e. grocery shopping. That doesn't mean I want pickup lines thrown at me, but if you're interested, start up a conversation. Secondly, I am also okay with the concept of meeting people online, except I can't find a network that doesn't make me feel like a creep. They all make me feel like I am shopping for a person that I think is attractive.

That's pretty much what my parents did, and I have mixed feelings about it. I do think it was good up to high school age. I would have said some dumb things when I was twelve I would probably regret today. But, as a teenager, it felt like just another way my parents were trying to control me. I would say that if you block phones, you have to counterbalance it with some other way your teenager can have agency. It doesn't matter too much what it is, just let your teenager have some freedom.

You include usenet in your example of possible video sources; it is my understanding that cloud providers will ban your account if they get DMCA requests. I am not certain how much S3 providers monitor storage for this type of thing, but I would guess they do up to a point. Do you think this could be a problem?

If the smartwatch can be used as a triage device, I believe it could benefit focus. Glancing at a watch, seeing just the necessary information, and getting back to work is more efficient than opening a phone. Now, if you just use the watch as a phone, it'll screw upbyour flow just as much as a phone.

I have had points in my life where I have had no friends; it really sucks. These periods would always compound my anxiety issues, my insecurities. Luckily, I am no longer isolated, and I feel so much better. I honestly believe that there needs to be systemic changes in society to solve this problem. For all my disaste for religions and other questionable institutions, they do provide a meaningful community that is a part of your daily life. You see the same people every week doing the same thing; it gives you that ritual we all need. I wish there was a community like this for us areligious folks.

Is it for a website or webapp?

If it is just a website, I highly recommend Netlify. It does static site hosting for dirt cheap.

If you need a webapp, I would agree with many other posters and say DO. They are the biggest of the "small" cloud providers, DO, Vultr, Linode. They have a wide range of options if you ever need to expand. I can't speak on their customer support because I have never had to use them.

At one point in time and at one location. At different places in the US, 1 USD can purchase more or less. So on the internet, the purchasing power of the dollar is fairly nebulous. So, I agree, but with more nitpickiness.

I stopped at this exit a dozen times at least. I am genuinely surprised that I have as many distinct memories as I do about a meme about banal American suburbia. I, wildly unsuccessful, tried to flirt with a college crush in that gateway. I got a shitty sub from that quiznos. I was grumpy when I got woken up from a car nap here.

I hate suburbia more than most, but I have alot of memories from this meme of plastic America.

I strongly disagree with any one nation, but especially India, intervening in this situation. Firstly, what is the actual support that is being provided? Sanctions would do nothing to China, except maybe the EU and/ or the US. Military support, in any form, would explode the region into WW3. Secondly, India and China already have some significant animosity; India supporting HK would royally piss off mainland China. Also, I cannot see India's benefiting the HK resistance; mainland China will never surrender control of HK.

Overall, I am super pessimistic about HK; unless mainland China experiences a similar scale of unrest, HK will become just another mainland city.

At the risk of being overly ontological, the legal order arises from the social order, since the law is simply a construct of beliefs that society nominally agrees on.

That is a big leap to call those two ontological. Laws represent the beliefs of those that right them, nothing more. I am sure most politicians believe they know the will of their constituents, which is simply another belief. And yes, if a law is egregiously beyond social norms, it is possible that it will be rejected by soceity, but I would argue that is a distinct veto function.

I don't really know much about Smalltalk, but guix is a linux distro that allows for impressive customize through Guile Scheme.

Disclaimer: I grew up in that environment, community Catholic, and am now an atheist.

I never enjoyed the Sunday gatherings, I was an angry child, but leaving it does give me perspective on why people stay. It gives you a real sense of community that most people I know don't have. It connects you with people, hell my family wouldn't have any friends without their parish. Religion, specifically Catholicism, has a lot of problems, but their are legitimate reasons why the vast majority of people hold onto them.

Isn't this just the ZTE ban all over again? Trump seems to completely believe that China owns these companies, so targeting the companies becomes a legitimate strategy in his trade war. I would be surprised if any Chinese company was completely free from Party control, but that doesn't intrinsically justify the ban. I would also be surprised if any American tech company was completely free from NSA influence. I will be surprised if the ban lasts, but it has already hurt US credibility as a reasonable trade partner.

I may be misinformed, but I have never heard of China specifically targeting 1 company like this. Sure, China blocks Facebook and Amazon, but its not a targeted hit. China blocks everyone. I am not claiming that this makes it fine, merely that it seems different.

I have mixed feelings on discussing problems with "generations"; its so broad and imprecise that it feels meaningless. However, I can accept that it has some value when discussing broad social effects.

I agree with Jobs; Gen X and further back generations, as groups, raped the planet for short-term economic growth. They aren't the first or last group to do so, but they did do it. My generation, I.e. gen Z, is looking at an abnormally bleak future. Yes, the past generations had the Cold War and possible Nuclear Armageddon. And while the Cold War is dead, possible Nuclear Armageddon is still very much alive. We also face, for the first time in US history, the likelihood that we will die poorer than our parents. We also face the fact that our middle age will come with practically certain catastrophic climate change. Any one of these problems is significant on a global scale, but their collective force is even more crippling.

All these problems exist because of the collective decisions of past generations; thats what every present is. WW1 was a product of dumb alliances and treaties made decades before. And it wasn't the generation that decided on the treaties that were butchered on the Somme, it was their children. And as a group, I believe that they are soaked in the blood of their children. However, I will agree that blaming generations is at best unproductive and at worst needlessly divisive. Yes, the actions of past generations create the wars and disasters of today, but that is a simple fact of societies. Blaming a generation hides the specific culprits behind specific problems. We should blame the Tobacco lobby for the death of millions, we should blame oil companies for crippling greener alternatives for decades, we should blame the Military-Industrial complex for chaining America to eternal wars just to make an easy buck.

This was more rambly than I intended, so I hope it still has some value.

My layman's understanding is that it allows managers to choose their stated ethics over profits. Traditionally, investors could sue the company for not pursuing above all else.

React is the framework and their design system uses a specific set of rules within the React framework to build consistent end UI/UX.

I know my productivity plummets passed 7-8 hours of work. Many times I would say it becomes negative, I.e. I make a lot of sigbificant mistakes and/or break something. More work is rarely an actual solution.

I always took that quote is the default, to be disproven by significant evidence to the contrary, or Mark Zuckerberg in other words.

I recently switched back to Arch and decided to try out Wayland. So far, I have only had some problems with Firefox, which could be solved I'm just being lazy. My one wider complaint is no autokey support, which isn't planned on being added. Overall, solid replacement to X11

I'm an American and I completely agree, but I think some context might be useful. Americans are trained from a young age that you have to sell yourself. You need to toot your own horn because no one else will. It is a component of the hustler culture in America. You always need to be fighting for the smallest advantage and overselling is a popular mechanism. Its incredibly dehumanizing, but thats never stopped America before.

They didn't block all personal transport, only most no-local vehicles. I would be a lot more convinced by the pro car arguments if they debated the actual issues. No one is saying destroy all cars and roads, the argument is on the importance of the car in the general transit system.

There are many references to multiple cpu systems throughout the document. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't know Fuschia was aimed at systems like that. I am no expert, but aren't the vast majority of multiple cpu systems servers or high-rnd workstations? If google can supply their own server os, Linux could lose a lot of support and funding

Seems cool, especially since I know nothing about programming drones. I was glancing through the code, and ibwas wondering if there was particular reason you split flight commands into UDP and camera controls into TCP. As I said I know nothing about drone programming, sorry if it is obvious.

Why did you decide to make roads the atomic unit over cars for traffic?

He was one of Mozilla's big rust advocates, and his post about leaving Mozilla was also big on Hacker News. At least, thats how I know who he is.
