I should add, in reference to this comment:

Countless studies have shown that medication is much much more effective than any form of behavioural therapy (and that BT has an extremely high failure/"relapse" rate).

Yes I can accept that. Behavioural therapies tend to be formalised ways of telling patients to "just try harder". They fail because the real issue is below the conscious mind (where "trying harder" works), in the subconscious mind and in the physiology (organ function, gene expression).

My personal experience is that there is a highly effective approach to treatment that works both on a physiological (all the way down to gene expression) level and a subconscious emotional level.

It may not be widely known or adopted yet, but it is attracting growing interest among ordinary people looking for better answers, if not mainstream science researchers, yet (due, I think, to the perverse economic incentives that prevail in that field, and the professional disincentives to pursue unconventional theories).

But from what I can see, it's just a matter of time.

You said yourself in the comment I replied to that these police profiled him because they are racist, and that he did nothing wrong.

Since you don't know the person that was arrested (I assume), and you don't know the police who arrested him, you must have some more general way to know that the police here are racists that are profiling him, right? Maybe you know that they are racists because you know all police are racists? Or is it just police in this Country or this State or this City? Maybe 'all police on the night shift' are racist? I don't know how you knew they were racists, but you said it, so I assume you are reasonable to believe it, and there must be a logical way that you figured it out from information you know is true.

As for how you knew this person was innocent, well, since you don't know him, didn't witness any of the events, and only know 'a person was arrested and said it wasn't their fault', the logic from above must apply. You must have made a logical inference that he is innocent. How do you know it?

How do you know that the police here are racists that profiled this person who did nothing wrong? If it is based entirely on the evidence that this person said they did nothing wrong, and that the person tweeted that they were arrested for no reason because the police are racist, well then you must believe everyone who says they didn't do it and that police are racist (or at least the ones that work for Google? or that use Twitter? I'm not sure how you were able to solve this, please let us know.) In that case it would imply that all police are racists, since all police arrest people who later claim to be innocent.

I actually come from multiple backgrounds. In the last 20 years I've done mostly startup environments and a bit of corporate in 3 countries/cultures. I've also done a fully remote startup which later evolved (and died) into a more traditional office based situation. I started thinking about it based on observations on how I work and how productive I am, as well as people around me. I never understood the 8 hour workday, not to mention those who go over it. Not that I didn't pull all nighters or the rare 48 hour work day but I never liked it. I worked with people for whom this setup would simply not work, and those who will find it liberating and will be hyper productive.

I like the idea of starting local and expanding. Its a good point and it makes sense. Thank you.

I'm a short guy too (5'8" as well). Its mostly been a disadvantage in my life.

From a strategic point of view, its important to understand what our strengths and weaknesses are. I refer to this as "playing the cards you're dealt."

However, I think very often people focus on the ways that people are prejudiced against them (and their other disadvantages) in unhealthy ways: becoming demoralized, becoming angry, and using prejudice as an excuse to fail.

To be successful, you just gotta knuckle down and do it. Its good to strategically recognize and respond to your individual disadvantages, but emotionally worrying about them is not good.

Height, weight and race are feasible things to measure in a study, and thus find statistical variations. But there are a ton of factors that affect success, here are a few that I think make a big difference but are either harder to measure or not acknowledged as much:

* Feelings of ambition

* Ideas that you were exposed to when you were growing up

* If your parents are savvy people

* Your own feelings of entitlement

* Emotional predisposition

* Who your parents (and other family/friends) know

* Social intelligence

* Desire to be around people

Beyond that, functional programming is, by and large, easier than imperative programming.

You say this but dislike even a bit of abstract algebra? I see a conflict here; anyone that likes FP, moreso, typed FP, should be familiar with simple concepts like monoids, functors, and monads. Honestly, I don't understand how someone can write in a functional language and not know these concepts.... they're literally Haskell 101. That doesn't even scratch the surface of what FP can do...

I didn't read that web page carefully, but it seems to describe a transaction log, which is what Kafka excels it, but it has precious title to do with RPC.

RPC is point-to-point communication based on requests and replies. Kafka's strictly sequential requirement would be terrible for this because a single slow request would hold up its entire partition — no other consumer would be able to process the pending upstream events. Kafka is also persistent (does it have in-memory queues?), which is pointless for RPC.

> Personally, I find people accusing them of being unethical for doing so rude and mean spirited about something that's frankly none of their business.

When you say "none of their business", I assume you're talking about meddling in the business of the developer(s). But when you write proprietary software, you aren't affecting yourself---you're affecting the _users_ of the software. The point of the free software movement is to protect the freedoms of the users of software, not the developers; the developers are the ones that take advantage of users. Perhaps not intentionally.

Free cultural works are a different issue entirely; that's not a useful comparison.

I encourage you to take a look at this essay:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html

> Freedom includes the freedom to cooperate with others. Denying people that freedom means keeping them divided, which is the start of a scheme to oppress them.
You can't really code in React professionally if you ignore all the tooling around it, the pipelines , the JSX, the flux/redux/... and all that stuffs. It's like saying "C is pretty simple if you ignore gcc macros,make, autoconf, automake, autogen, pkg-config, ld , and all that stuff". You cant. All these dependencies are necessary and managing them constitute at least half the amount of time spent working with C. Same thing with React.

So you pretty much end up with the same level of complexity as more complicated solutions in the real world context.
> Also, there seems to be a number of people here commenting very strongly in favour of Microsoft

Count me (shockingly) in the pro Microsoft group here. After years and years of supporting family PCs, I understand and appreciate what they're trying to do.

If you make updating something the user has to do, they'll never do it.

If you prompt them to update, they'll never do it. Even if they've had the why of it explained to them many, many times.

In anticipation of the inevitable "well this update famously broke X": yes, the risk of an update doing something funky outweighs the risk of running software with known and possibly currently exploited vulnerabilities.
Same scenario three weeks ago trying to help out my brother on his brand new Asus that came with Win 10. The wireless hardware just disappeared from the control panel so the option to update the driver wasn't available.
I was about to walk him through a complete OS re-install with the option to keep his files until he decided that a wired connection was OK.
At the time there was almost no available recent support articles on this issue, but I'm starting to think a Win update caused this after seeing others with the same problem. And here he was going to blame it on his kids...

> How do I take, say JS, and learn it to the point where it really clicks to the point where I can visualize what's going on under the hood when I write programs?

Learn how a JS engine works. Any engine will do, although V8 is very discussed on the internet. Here's a few things to get started with:

- How the event loop works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aGhZQkoFbQ). This show how JS works under the hood, what's part of "JS" and what's extended, how async operations are scheduled on a single thread. After watching this, everything will just "click".

- How objects are represented in V8 (https://thibaultlaurens.github.io/javascript/2013/04/29/how-...). It's v8-specific but nevertheless tells you how objects are represented in memory. Keeping these concepts in mind, you will be able to write efficient code on the get-go.

- ES6 spec (http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/). Optional reading (if you want to read 500+ pages), but it's a handy reference when in doubt. You can literally slap this thing to a person who doesn't know what they're talking about. Not that you should, but backing evidence is always great.
> I am still using 7,

Was in a similar boat as you, until a new build more or less forced me to use 10 (motherboard only had USB 3. yes, you can slipstream drivers into a 7 installer - but when I tried this, the machine kept bluescreening to high heck). After a few months, I'm perfectly fine with it.

Don't get me wrong, there are problems - but there have always been problems. The two competing but not quite feature matching control panels for example. I also turned notifications completely off, as they were all for trivial BS (in my case).

But overall, I am now just as happy as I was on 7.
And they are likely to be flagged.
When you say "killed permanently", do you mean more than just disabling the service, and if so, what? I have it disabled but I don't trust Microsoft not to somehow override that.
Probably a lost cause. He had over 4K photos that he had taken in the 70s digitized from slides and organized.

All that work was blown away. He has digi backups of the files, but all the organization and notes are gone.

The point is that any theory made after events are observed cannot use the events it is explaining as evidence that it is correct.

The reason is that given any dataset, you can come up with thousands of stories that explain the data perfectly, but have no predictive power. This is also called 'overfitting' in machine learning contexts.

However, a prediction made before events can use those events as evidence of the correctness of the theory.

What is the evidence for the theory in this article? Well, it is that it explains past events. But those events can't be used as evidence for the theory, and if that is all there is, this is a 'just so story'.

Another way to say this is: "The fact that a theory does not conflict with existing observations is not evidence that it is correct."
It's not the only way to do first-class modules, it's just the only currently known way where both modular and functional sides are actually useful without introducing completely separate sub-languages.

Of course it's a lot harder than building one side and then claiming that the other side sucks because the whole paradigm sucks (but we still wanted some research grants (looking at you, OCaml)).

Scala's OO+FP approach allows me to appreciate both sides where they have their strengths. This is in contrast to languages like Haskell which can declare that FP is the best thing ever (because that's the only way to write programs in Haskell ("but, but, you can do these terrible contortions and write things that look like OOP in Haskell" – let's just skip that point, it doesn't add anything to the debate)).

The sea algae idea strikes me as a cure that is potentially worse than the disease.

You almost assuredly do want to use low priority, throttled I/O for time machine backups. (see IOPOL_THROTTLE) Why? Because it prevents backups running in the background from interfering with foreground applications.

Honestly, if you're interacting with an app in the foreground then you almost certainly don't care how long the backup is going to take, and you almost certainly do care if the backup makes your app slower. And if you walk away from the computer then the backup's I/O will run unimpeded and unthrottled, i.e., fast.
