I have a diagnosed condition called Dissociative Identity Disorder[1] and what you are describing as desirable (a mindful awareness of inner emotions during conversations etc) is a state that with my condition means that I would technically be in a dissociative state - i.e. observing events unfolding in the third person (sorta aka 'viewer' mode) since to observe ones thoughts as they are formed means you are not fully part of them. One of my shrinks assured me that this 'was not a good thing ('normal') ' thing to do mainly because <reasons> but also because if you do so you miss out on the ‘thrills’ of life (i.e. Experiencing emotions rather than Observing emotions).

Inner/Self reflection is a great thing and I’ve found it one of the many helpful things about doing (my own cobbled together form) of meditation and it is nice to see that others are also exploring thoughts and ideas as their self understanding progresses.

There is however a concept called being centred / grounded. As far as I understand it that is the sense of when all things are humming along in an inner symphony of state aka when all dials in the green and all the horses/monkeys are pulling equally and together and things just …. flow. ‘I’ cease to exist and instead become the ‘moment’.

I too have wondered about the ‘how to bring that sense of inner observation’ back with me from a meditative state so what bamurphymac1 said is a good answer with some good solutions

The first 1/3 is sort of useful, I'd say stop reading the deck when it says “There are invisible, undetectable elves all over this room” is a meaningless stence (it is not meaningless, the sentence may be false but everyone can understand what it takes for it to become true, namely 1. you see elves in this room OR 2. you detect elves in this room OR 3. both.).

Also, I'd suggest epistemiology is not so much about finding out what's true or false but what is knowable and not knowable in principle - i.e., to establish the frontier of the knowable (which does not change, whereas the frontier of the present knowledge shifts).
He didn't get invites to do talks at fancy tech meetups in some time so he needed to do some unsubstantiated hot take again. It's also probably a shill for some web3 service he is "working" on we'll see in 2-3 days. That dude is all about other peoples money and other peoples ideas for at least 20 years now...
> It looks like 30 minutes to me, all-inclusive.

Really ? Are you honestly and truthfully including all steps :

- Online shopping (*INCLUDING* time spent looking around for alternative components/stock)
- Opening up packaging
- Getting tools together
- Putting it together
- Testing and labelling
- Clearing up afterwards

Sure I'll grant you that IF all your ducks line up absolutely perfectly, you might be able to scrape by 30-45 minutes. I suspect the reality will need a bit of extra time margin though.
> This almost reads like satire. Banks and credit card companies are exactly not neutral, this is perhaps the only widely understood reason Blockchains and cryptocurrencies exist.

I forgot to tout the banks' other well known qualities that perfectly demonstrate the vapidity of cryptocurrencies. Chief among them, their ability and willingness to facilitate high volume of transactions to a mass of semi-anonymous website users.

OK, rather than me providing a link, just do a DDG search of "ms word crashes."

The problem with having a zillion features is that in unusual cases, they don't work. You can't possibly test every combination of features in every version, in every weird case. My editor warned me against using Word, because she's had countless clients whose files have gotten corrupted, irretrievably.

> What's the purpose of founding this kind of spying program? Do they expect to find Al'Quaida' sbire among the average joe?

I would suggest to finally drop the premise implied in these kinds of questions / indignation / etc.: that there's an actual purpose/principle (related in some or other way to the greater good and so on) which these systems are founded upon. I really think that there is no such thing. As cliche as it sounds, I believe it's simply about power (and power breeding more power, and all that.) This is the kind of framework which in some sense is at least meaningful and fruitful for discussion. Any moral ground on their side is a mere facade/veil/pretext (including for some level of self-deception/rationalization, sure), but its existence and use is purely instrumental.
Most people in the world do not speak one of the uber-languages (english, chinese, spanish etc). These people are particularly poorly served by a drive to document in their native language rather than a common language. If someone only speaks Xhosa and never gets to exercise a documentation-common-language, then they'll only be able to read and contribute to documentation in Xhosa, which is a much smaller community than 'everyone'. And what if the leading engineer in your field didn't document in that language? You'd be cut of from what they had to say.

A common documentation language functions as a technical standard, like IPv4. Sure, you can use your own standard, perhaps IPX, but you'll only be able to communicate with a much smaller group of people.

It's hard to get documentation written in the first place, let alone good documentation. Making it 'fair' by saying that documentation has to be effectively splintered into every native language is a sisyphean task.

As always, write to your audience. If it's a general tech audience, that means English. If it's Chinese engineers who don't speak English well, that means Chinese. But those Chinese engineers are going to have an easier time interpreting foreign documentation if it's all in one language rather than 50.
> Well, there's literally nothing they can't try to regulate.

You did say try, but according to the constitution they aren't allowed to regulate speech, religion or the press. (Congress "shall make no law .." abridging these rights).

True, that makes (most forms) of Christianity today cousins to Rabbinic Judaism, as opposed to siblings (like early Judeo-Christianity and its extinct descendants-Ebionites, Nazarenes, etc).
What the heck is GOBBLES? Do you mean Goebbels?
I certainly don't mind the scanners or the check as long as it's done respectfully and professionally.
I think you are searching for something like murder https://github.com/lg/murder .

In any case, I fail to see how this is any more useful than Capistrano. Just being able to push arbitrary tree-ish hashes to a specific environment isn't very special, as that can arguably already be done with Capistrano.
HR didn't have a direct say in hiring. But they did control the recruiters and the recruiters decided who got a phone interview, who got a second chance at the phone interview, and which phone interviews would proceed on-sites. We (engineers) controlled the final decisions but they controlled the funnel.

And yeah it was really awkward seeing HR trying to deny the existence of these practices. You could see publicly accessible Dropbox Paper docs titled "diversity hiring tips" and it'd link to census days on female and URM names, spreadsheets of ethnic fraternities and sororities, and so forth. Recruiter bonus policies, which included a diversity bonus for each diverse hire was also publicly accessible. When we did campus recruiting recruiters told us (the alumni engineers) to mark candidates resumes with a star for women or URM, two stars for women + URM, and "ND" for asian males - "Negative Diversity".

The idea that this was a secret was a joke - and the polls proved it. The reality was probably that for liability reasons HR didn't want us talking about this openly. So this talk about how it was offensive was probably more about instilling a chilling effect.

That was my biggest gripe. They talk about how offensive and hurtful it is to say we offer more or less opportunity based on race and gender. But they have no qualms actually doing those things.
Google's revenues are closing in on 200 billion a year. If the hardware business makes, say, 2 billion a year, it's safe to say that the hardware is a pretty insignificant part of the overall business. The data gathered from that hardware on the other hand...
The sentiment you're expressing is the idea that one 2k player is so much better than two 1k rated players that it doesn't make sense to simply sum up each team's rating and keep it even, which is the false assumption that the AoE 2 devs made. Elo is not linear.

However I don't think they'd have fixed it just by averaging the Elo ratings, they must have implemented something more complex, like a proximity based algorithm, otherwise if the teams were the same size you'd hit a similar problem with an average as with a sum. A 2k player + a 0 rated player would sum to 2k and average to 1k. You and your friend would also sum to 2k and average to 1k, again assuming even team sizes.

That said, still very funny!

Also, fun fact: Elo isn't an acronym/initialism, it's someone's name, Arpad Elo (the inventor).

Also also, I don't think Elo is really a good idea for multiplayer (more than 1v1 that is) games generally. Don't know enough to say that authoritatively, but using it for something like AoE 2 is likely prone to all kinds of strange unexpected outcomes.
We (and by we I mean the government) just need to bite the bullet and and pay for a multi billion dollar study where we pay tens of thousands of people to control* and monitor what they eat, exercise, etc for 20 years and just figure this out. None of this “well we had 20 grad students journal what they did for 6 months and this is the result” low quality studies.

*Morally correct and ethically of course. I’m not saying we force people into large hamster cages.
Winter is a painful time for static electricity...anything that conducts electricity can shock you.

Aluminum computers or keyboards, steel wall corners...if it has exposed metal, I swear I have been shocked!
Honest question: As a company, would you think "I don't care about the users' privacy, I want a marketing company that gives me as much of my target audience as possible"? Would you care how that marketing company got the users' information?

How would you feel as a user? Are you always interested in being a "consumer" and willing to have your habits sold so you are the target of ads?

How does your target audience feel?
If a set of ideas can destabilize a racist, colonial power which as of 2021 still hasn't paid reparations to Haiti, that seems like a problem with the colonial power, not the ideas. The French republic deserves to be destabilized a bit.
I don't agree that a social contract that requires that you provide value before you receive the bare necessities, is a good one. I think humanity as a whole benefits when everyone is alleviated of the need to worry about basic survival. We've reached the stage in our technological evolution where this is starting to be possible.

Also, I'm not advocating for the complete erasure of private jobs and enterprise. Just that base level needs be met for all. You're free to take a customer support job if you want more money or it's your passion.
I do personally for color control. You can see my heavy use of SVGs here at a site I'm in the middle of implementing [0]. For example, if you look in the :root {} you will see a lot of CSS variables that are declared and which manipulate their HSL value based on base variables like --hue. The SVGs implement these. So you can change the global --hue, and the hue of all the SVG elements on the page will change. I've modified output SVGs from figma/illustrator to reference a variable rather than a hardcoded fill i.e. <path fill="red"> becomes <path fill="var(--base)"> That's a simple example, you can go further to change relative saturation and lightness as well, which I also do with CSS calc(). It's fun!

Sure, but I didn't think anything about async functions implied running tasks. Isn't it just syntactic sugar over futures? You certainly don't need to use the tokio runtime in order to use async functions.

So, it's not clear why you'd abandon the async syntax just because you're compute bound.
But the quoted bit means social disapproval from the cult/church - not from the outsiders. Geeks have always made fun of themselves.
You probably have it on your mobile. I agree though this is borderline crazy.
The problem is you alone cannot be victim, judge and executioner.
I have a product I'll be launching soon in exactly this space: mailing lists/forums/chat with github integration.

Email me if you're interested in alpha/beta testing (see my profile).
Awesome, Django might be usable out of the box now. :)
Neat. Once this hits a stable release, does it mean that South should be considered deprecated for new projects?
Do you have a source that gives estimates of carbon output from vehicle shipping? I'm wondering roughly how many fumey-old-bug miles correspond to pre-owner new-car transport.
Define 'the best'. I'd argue that if the revolving door between industry and the public sector was closed, the government really would get 'the best' - people who actually cared about serving the public interest.
The docbook tool chain is a nightmare to setup though.
The real problem here is Uber/Lyft not accounting for this in their app. As someone who takes rideshare with a small child who needs a car seat, I've had similar issues.

A person with a dog will need extra time getting in and out, and the driver will need extra time to clean the car and remove any dog hair or other stains or spots. A person with a carseat like myself needs extra time to get into and out of the car while I strap in the carseat. I'm really good at it, but it still takes an extra minute or so to strap in the seat and then strap the child into the seat.

The apps need a way for me to say "I have a carseat" or "I have a service animal" and then give a bonus to the driver for picking me up. Incentivize the driver to want to come get me, and compensate them for the extra time. I'd gladly pay and extra "carseat fee" so that I don't get an unhappy driver who gives me one star just because they had to wait for me.

And in the case of the service animal, they shouldn't have the option to reject the ride and the rider should not get charged extra, but Uber/Lyft should have to compensate the driver for taking that ride as a cost the rideshare companies bear under the ADA.
It’s a feature, not a bug. This problem is outside the scope of this project and the issue should be filed upstream.
The profit is in the exorbitant salaries.
Not only that, it's also if you don't vocally condemn along with others (no matter the reason) you are also suspect. You support "the status quo" even if you try to stay away from mob behavior, etc.
The loadmaster is probably sweating bullets right now, as well they should...
You also shouldn't build apps because people hate downloading them.

If you're app is for like a resturant, or store, you should instead go with a mobile site. One that has model-viewer capability. Those can run as standalone apps with Electron anyway.

That's what Spotify and other companies are doing.

Writing a native app exclusively is a bad idea unless performance is important.
Well, it's not the right to be forgotten. It's the right not to have a major news outlet trumpet your name. There's still a conflict between "the NYT has the right to identify me" and "I have the right to say what I want pseudonymously", but the conflict is more nuanced than the one between between "the NYT has the right to identify me" and "I have the right to be forgotten".
> the banks eat up the loss

They don't, they pass it on to the merchant. This is why working with credit cards or paypal is a pain for a lot of merchants and that's why you as a user have to sometimes jump through hoops to just verify yourself. Merchants have to do this because they know that they will be paying in case of you getting defrauded.
Tesla is a great example of this maxim: "a good story is worth a thousand spreadsheets." While Tesla is busy getting ridiculous valuations, their competition is focused on traditional corporate measures of performance. It even permeates their marketing - other auto makers are so focused on segments that their stories are segmented (see Ford's rollout of the new Mustang SUV). Meanwhile, Tesla is telling a very visceral "better animal" arrives and re-terraforms the world story.
This would not work out for Facebook. Most won't switch phones, it's a $500+ immediate purchase. Other apps will spread via word of mouth and be where the friend networks coalesce around.
Yeah, I don't like this title. Coding for backprop is worth getting excited about, but please don't assume it supersedes all forms of "predictive coding". Plenty of predictive learning techniques do just fine without it, including our own brains.

In keeping with the No-Free-Lunch theorem, it's also highly desirable in general to have a variety of approaches at hand for solving certain predictive coding problems. Yes, this makes ML (as a field) cumbersome, but it also prevents us from painting ourselves into a corner.
I’m not an apologist or shill, but as a user I feel like I understand what I’m giving to Apple (or Microsoft/Google/$OS_VENDOR) when I am using their OS _AND_ enabling any kind of cloud sync. Maybe they’re taking more or less than I expected, but if I’m syncing my entire contact list I just have to assume now they have my contact list- and I accepted that when I enabled the functionality.

Some feature flags/settings across all the OSes get hidden, are non-obvious, on by default, or are flat out using dark patterns (looking at you Win10) but in general I assume the default state (for all OSes) is a combination of reducing support incidents, easiest on-boarding, and trying to push some corporate strategic objective summed up as keep the average user happy enough to stick around and possibly give us more money.

Any app I install on said OS, may want to access this information but without all the permissions explainers I have no idea what it’s going to want or why.

Again, I assume the OS has access to all of this because it’s the OS it either needs it or is the manager of the info and access broker.

To sum up my thought, I guess I agree that there’s a double standard but disagree that it’s necessarily bad or shady- but that’s because I already had a double standard in mind when I think about OS vs App.

Specific to ad-tracking and Apple: I have no proof for my belief but I believe Apple who primarily wants to sell me hardware and has made public acknowledgements of the importance of privacy, including making noticeable improvements to their OS, is significantly less likely to abuse my privacy than any other OS vendor out there.

I’m not saying this as a whataboutism, I just base it on my perceptions given all the things you just flat out can’t turn off in Win10 and that Google literally makes their money off of getting ads to your eyeballs and Android’s permissions are a dumpster fire nightmare for privacy.

I feel (again, no real proof) that the Apple eco-system is providing me the best _mainstream and low-effort_ steps to privacy protection vs the others, but I concede that it’s probably not good enough in many ways.
I understand it's just an example, but going from 500 to 50 million is enough to break your business if you're not paying attention to cash flow and invest too soon in production means.
How close do you need to be? With an hour distance, you can get pretty far into exurbs with multi-acre plots or even rural areas from most cities.
I already have the best games from this Humble Indie Bundle, but I bought it anyway just to support the bundle for others.

I highly recommend Osmos and Machinarium. They are in my opinion the best games in the bundle.
What you're basically saying is, to stay with the arsonist metaphor, that if an arsonist burns a house down to the ground he should be prosecuted but if he burns down the whole village it's as much the villages fault as it is the arsonists - they should have fireproofed the thing.

I strongly disagree. Crackers should be prosecuted, whether they had an easy job or not.
As ot noted, it is Computer Modern - more about the font and design choices here http://www.v25media.com/work/paperswelove/
Disagree with the point about location coupling being eradicated by a broker. A broker has its own location. It also seems to miss the point that a resource URI is itself an abstraction representing the canonical source.

Re spikes in demand, the article ignores that REST unlike SOAP is cacheable. REST is popular precisely because SOAP has struggled in enterprise as business systems have moved online and the traditional services haven't been able to deal with the traffic.

Re transactions, REST architectures are stateless. But the wider problem illustrated in the article is that enterprise architecture is based on pre-web thinking and uses patterns which are suitable for secure, robust, transactional/stateful, low traffic internal systems (banking, payroll, ticketing etc). This is pretty much the opposite in every way to web architectures - so what good looks like in one is what bad looks like in the other.
Not sure I'd call that "simple". A hardware wallet like Trezor seems like a much better solution.
Also, gray income is common, and how do you count bribes?

Look, I'm not trying to make an argument for how good or bad Go's string formatting is. Tbh I forget both and I find myself back in the documentation either way.

But in this case, you're programming Go already. Better stick with the tools that everyone knows and expects. In .go files, Go code is more readable. In .py, it's not.

People who read your Go code will know Go, and they will be in "Go mode". To them a Go-style date formatting string will make more sense than a sprintf one.
You keep using that word "REST"... I don't think that word means what you think it means.
