In the meditation world, those are called "supports". They support your practice. I'd consider things like, going to a quiet place, having a meditation cushion or bench so you don't wreck your knees, bells, asceticism, even mantra, are all supports. These games, when done well, are supports.

Eventually, you kick away the support when the support no longer becomes supportive. By that I mean, you realize you are attached and relying on the support, which forms an attachment -- a story. "This too shall pass."

In the meantime, enjoy the support, just don't confuse it for the practice.

I'm a tech lead in a large, distributed application. I disagree somewhat, there's a bit of a unicorn reasoning. If teams don't work well, a tech lead's job is to revive culture and confidence which is going to be harder.

My day to day as tech lead is mostly looking at our board and seeing if people's work loads are just fine. Do I provide mentoring? Sure, when I need too. Do I provide architectural guidance? Sure, when we have big stories that require my review. Majority of my time is spent taking care of my team. Is my team doing well? Absolutely. We communicate well and aren't shy to help each other out. But being a tech lead my emphasis is quality and making sure that my team is on track with that.

I've already responded to your previous comments; so I hope it doesn't feel like I'm trying to target you, because you're not the only one who feels the way you do and I can understand where your perspective comes from, but I honestly don't see how you can describe other people's children as "undisciplined brats" and "savages" and then turn around say, "I'm not passing judgement on those children at all".
I fully agree with this sentiment. If you read the discussions, it sounds like Python 3 is an entirely different language which is definitely not the case. Porting code to Python 3 is really easy and involves no changes to the program flow or the APIs you use. Hardest to port is usually the Bytes/Unicode transition. In my projects, it fixed a few nasty Unicode bugs which was a nice bonus.

> Python 3 came out 2008, at the moment of writing this, it’s almost a decade and if your third party package has not been updated, then it’s really messed up.

Exactly. A library which has no Python 3 port in 2016 is going to be an maintenance burden either way, since it's not going to get support or security updates either. Many of those abandoned projects have been forked for Python 3 support, and active development continues there.

A number of new projects are Python 3-only.

Two years ago, I recommended new developers to stick with Python 2 for anything except toy projects (and use __future__ imports to make it easier to port later) because library support just wasn't there. Now it is, so it's an easy decision.

Porting to Python 3 means future-proofing the project - not only Python 2 will be EOL, but many libraries will drop Python 2 support.

Ok I'll talk ;-) The matter is that currently, if you delete a key, you know that the command returns once the memory is reclaimed. UNLINK is conceptually like DEL, but the memory reclaiming, while fast because there is a thread doing only like that, is asynchronous. So in certain use cases, while semantically identical if you think at what happens to data, the two commands are semantically different in the way memory is reclaimed. Think at this:

1. CREATE A HUGE KEY.

2. DEL it

3. CREATE A HUGE KEY.

4. DEL it

In steps 2 and 4 we know that we always reclaim the memory if we use DEL, so step 3 is never going to use more memory than it was used in step 1. Instead change this with UNLINK. Potentially UNLINK is still freeing memory as we now create back the key again, technically using more memory than the previous peak memory.

This in practice is hard to trigger since asynchronous deleting is faster than the time it gets you to build new sizable data. But I still thought this was an important difference that deserved a different command name.
That got even more ridiculous when Josh Marshall of TPM and Paul Krugman of the New York Times got pissed off at all the people who didn't buy it because of course, everyone knows that Russia was influencing the election: https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/802192619627540480 Just like the most obnoxious fake-news-spreading social media users, the fact that it confirmed their belief was more important than its obvious fakeness.

And make no mistake, a dodgy anonymous group spreading dubious but terrifying stats about Russian propaganda whilst redefining that to mean any site posting politicial views they disagree with is a form of fake news, even if they eventually managed to find a reputable news organisation that would launder their claims for them.

misleading title.
Ha, sounds like a good part 2 to me! :)

As you pointed out, you did allude to it in the article. I was just trying to add a bit more based on first hand experience with software customers.

And hey, sometimes customers will just flat out tell you that they need a feature that is blindingly obvious to them, but didn't occur to your product development team. It's nice when it is that easy.

So I agree that the knowing how to interpret what your customers say is and important part of being able to act on what they share with you. That certainly doesn't diminish the importance of anything you wrote, though. Without engaging with customers and properly listening to them, there wouldn't be any information to interpret.

I don't get the comments bashing the author. This is downright deception and he got screwed. Period.

It's morally wrong and I just don't understand how people can defend this in the comments over at Linkedin. Why the fuck is the free market being used as a blanket argument against morals and ethics?

There's even vaguely veiled threats against the author in the Linkedin comments. I'm fucking appalled and I don't understand why someone would

A) kill your own reputation

B) put women in startups/tech in a bad light

C) use the same branding for the switcheroo that helps the author's case

D) not realize there's post-show background check (that results in 50% of deals announced not going through according to comments)

If she had just been honest and not greedy (why would you be so desperate to own 100% of nothing?) she could've avoided destroying her own goals.

I don't know how anyone can possibly trust her, unless, it was someone who shared the same tony-montana-esque attitude towards wealth & status, bravado, chutzpah at the cost of others and your own soul, for more money in your pocket.

But even Tony did not break his "word & balls" when starting his narcotic empire, in which Alajendro Sosa invested in Tony, risked capital in his business and he got paid. Imagine how angry Sosa would've gotten if never saw his returns. It proved to be lethal for Tony in the end.

To those familiar with various skin conditions, this may not be a big surprise

Skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis disproportionately affect those with HIV or Parkinson's and those skin conditions themselves have been liked to gut health, although not widely received in the medical community.

Seeing as how many skin ailments are linked to those with early or long term use to antibiotics (e.g. childhood ear infections, antibiotic use as infants), and Parkinson's patients are disproportionately affected by them, this is an even greater reminder that gut flora health is something not to be taken lightly.

Welcome to the original "editorial" question. Read up on "Yellow Journalism" for a history.

The answer to your rhetorical is "some people start from a position of reporting responsibility some start from a position of personal responsibility."

Lets presume there is a conversation between Alice and Bob on what is happening. Eve can hear both conversations and to some extent can ascertain when either Alice or Bob are communicating a falsehood or a misstatement to the other.

In the personal responsibility policy camp Eve doesn't do anything, it is up to Alice and Bob to evaluate the integrity and accuracy of the other's facts. In the reporting responsibility policy camp, if either Alice or Bob is communicating to a group (which is to say the communication is one to many) then Eve must inform the many when Alice states a falsehood or lies, conversely if Bob is the one who is communicating to the many then his falsehoods and/or misleading statements must be called out.

Facebook lands in the middle because both Alice and Bob are in fact communicating to lots of people (everyone on the feed, everyone reading the comments section what ever). As the "market maker" for this meeting of speakers and listeners, either Facebook is 100% responsible for the quality of the facts or 100% not responsible for the quality of the facts.

If you think of the information being exchanged as "product" and people publishing information as "sellers" and people reading that information "buyers" (even though there may be no financial transaction involved), there is quite a bit of experiential guidance around what the market owner must do versus the sellers and buyers in the market. The challenge is that people who might be suspicious being offered a Rolex watch at a flea market for a fraction of the price, seem more willing to believe a "news story" from an unaccredited news source which differs markedly from what the mainstream press is reporting. If they saw such news stories as 'cheap rolexes' it might activate the same sorts of suspicions they would get in a market when the price is too good to be true.
Seemingly-genuine comments like that could be a plausible future step for escalation of advertising.

I'd guess there are people who would "rent" access to their active social media accounts to a company operating a bot capable of writing subtle "recommendation"-style comments. Sort of a merger of blog-comment-spam-bots and paid "influencer" posts.

How is the GPL cancer? Regarding your own software if you don't like the mix of rights and responsibilities it provides don't use it. Your dislike hardly means it isn't a good fit for others.

Regarding others software it gives you the right to use their software with no cost providing you are equally free with the fruits of your own labor. Obviously you might not agree with this but what I don't understand is why you have such a caustic attitude.

What people commonly seem to believe is that the gpl magically sticks other software because you included gpl code. What actually happens is that you can't legally take other peoples code without following the license. Try this with proprietary software sometime. You will be sued to extinction. If one of your employees includes gpl code in your product you will likely be respectfully asked to either gpl the other code or remove the gpl code and be given ample time to do either.

You are 100% able to replace the code you never had a right to and move on the gpl doesn't and can't magically adhere to your code thus calling it "cancer" is silly.

I am of the opinion that developing a powerful system of meme defense is one of the most important tasks modern humans face. After all, nobody designed the meme-scape we all face today. It just evolved. So there's no guarantee that the memes we encounter will be beneficial. Quite to the contrary, actually: there are countless parasitic memes out there that take your time, attention, and money, without giving anything in return (TV, social media + fake news, celebrity worship, gambling, drugs, etc).

So maybe homeschooling is a filter bubble. And maybe that's a good thing.
Nun Fashion Is Way More Fascinating Than You Realize
I had something similar. Martial arts and video games didn't quite switch it on for me. There were wishful thinking on my part when I practiced those. At some point, I learned to eat the suffering that comes with doing something difficult. It came down to that. There is no avoiding the suffering. What makes hard work "hard" is literally the suffering. Being able to be present -- being mindful -- to it is what makes it look like endurance, perseverance, grit, "ren", "nin" on the outside. It looks stoic, like being indifferent to pain, but it isn't. Being indifferent is a subtle way of avoiding the suffering, while I'm speaking of being present to pain and suffering.

I learned that through a shamanic thing and cultivated it with meditation. My ability to practice the things I wanted and take on challenges really accelerated. (I got a taste for climbing up mountains, heh).

I also went to the other extreme where work became just an endless death march of anxiety and stress. (If you can eat suffering, then you can just keep on going, right?) That took reading a book on classical, non-dual Shaiva Tantra and it's philosophy (it's View) before things clicked for me there. Up until then, I had difficulty reconciling some things. I didn't want to lose being able to work hard, but sustaining that was deteriorating things for my health and my family.
