As as introvert, as much as I like to see an article showing the positives that introverts bring to a business environment, this article unfortunately perpetuates many of the popularly-held untruths about introverts.

Let’s start with the crux: introversion vs. extroversion is mostly about energy. Spending time with other people drains an introvert’s energy, whereas it gives energy to an extrovert.

Many of the traits the article mistakenly attributes to introverts (don’t like seeing unknown phone numbers calling / uncomfortable in the company of new people / hate being in the center of attention / go through hell every time they have to ask unknown people something / are ready to die visiting a party) are not traits I recognise in myself or in other introverted friends – I’d argue that they are just examples of people being socially awkward, or shy, which is different.

On the contrary, I know plenty of introverts who perform brilliantly on stage, are great communicators, great leaders, enjoy nights out –and even enjoy singing karaoke!– and have no problem meeting or engaging with new people.

Given there was only one trait listed which I recognise as being generally-held by introverts (enjoy being alone for some time), I wonder whether the author of this article is an extrovert (given uninformed extroverts often think that introverts are just shy and socially awkward) or alternatively someone who is shy and socially awkward, and finds solace in blaming this on being an introvert?
The article didn't even attempt to answer the question it asked in the ingress - why I should care about a certain thing past its glory days fading in the popularity.

Times change, and that's a great thing, yet people will always complain. It has happened to things I really loved too. That's just life I guess, but I've realized that being upset at culture change is just a self-destructive thought pattern.

I've always found AWS's security system pretty confusing, so I'm a big fan of this primer. There's such a huge number of stuff that it can difficult to even begin to know what to look for. From my limited experience, Google Cloud Platform seems to be much easier to setup.

What I'd really love to see an end-to-end example of a non-trivial production-ready project, with all its nitty-gritty details. I'd expect that having a sensible baseline you could look to for general guidance would help improve security and reduce risk.
"Very easy" is an interesting way to put it.

How long did it take you to get to a few thousand dollars a month cheez? Out of interest, how far into your career was that?

I'm not sure I'd class getting to a few thousand dollars as "very easy", certainly do-able for a lot of businesses with a few months to a years hard work, but I wouldn't call that "very easy", personally.

I really don't like how you're putting words in his mouth. He said nothing to suggest that he felt Excel was inadequate for editing CSVs. That's your opinion. And, it's not exactly streamlined, but it's good enough that Microsoft will suggest using it for that purpose. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Create-or-edit-csv-...
No, but you will find it sad. And I think what's more compelling is you will question the choices you make; is this really what you would do?

I recommend playing it. It can be intense but incredibly powerful; simple choices like "who gets to eat today" really bring it home. Easily the best game of the last few years.

It's like the localization of the glibc library. It inflates the size of the binary, while nobody that I know, would want to see vernacular in the commandline terminal. I would think of it as a bug.

The counterintuitive moral of the story seems to be that ideological censorship has the potential to spur philosophical and scientific progress, even if this is an unintended and not very frequent outcome.

It is strange, but for a good chunk of time religious thinkers were "more right" about subjects like the eternity of the universe than the prevailing aristotelian philosophers, sometimes deploying surprisingly modern-sounding ideas in the process. I'm thinking of authors like Philoponus https://historyofphilosophy.net/philoponus and Crescas https://historyofphilosophy.net/crescas

I don't have a general solution but for older versions of windows there was latency mon or something (similar exists for Windows 10 but I have forgotten the name). This might help you identify the culprit.

The way I use it is I start latencymon (or similar), Running that I'll then stop applications one by one and see if the latency spikes disappears.

If that doesn't help next I'll stop services one by one.

If it is software related you should find it this way - usually Windows is quite stable in itself and it is "just" a misbehaving driver.
what's wrong with Windows 10 Enterprise?
I mean in the normal CBB branch you get updates pretty fast and you can remove/lock the store Apps via GPO. I think you can even disable Cortana. And it's mostly way more "stable" than only getting backports of fixes.
I was trying to make sense of your comment "I've been using computer for 20 years, programming for the better part of that, and I feel completely powerless." I regret that I don't have the pages I used to figure out the group policy settings for this at hand, of course I'd be happy to share them.

That's fair, seeking out various solutions to the problem makes sense.
@krasin Thanks! I know I'll continue to play around with LLVM on many levels in life. Just recently an LLVM Socials meetup has started in Sweden, and it feels great to get a chance to meet other people excited about exploring these topics :)
Well yes. But in this case that is the problem no? As a developer I have to upload new binary when changing screenshots, thus forcing my users to redownload a new version. A diff of an identical binary would be zero (or something very small as at least the build number would have to be updated). For developers it would be better too but Apple has always privileged user comfort over developers.
Probably not. Narcissu will get you depressed. War of Mine is still too mechanical.
Many cabins in the mountains in Norway use thick plastic bags that you just tie off and dump in a skip when you leave. At least they did last time I rented one twenty years ago, so the general idea is not new. Sealing the waste in with a biodegradable film is a neat idea though and makes a lot of sense for a hot climate.
I don't listen to much electronic music, but I find no subtleties or sensitivity in what I hear.

I understand that dismissing the new for no other reason is useless but I just don't feel it.

>The idea of the individual would need to be eliminated to remove all secrets.

Well, this is good when it happens, on occasion, anyway. It's not a static value; sometimes such states as you propose are valuable/valued - other times, not so. This is not absolute, since you mention practicality.

More specifically, since we are discussing governance, we must absolutely remove the individual from the occasion if we are to maintain a stable social construction, while at the same time strengthening the individuals position within either a fluid .. or rigid .. social structure.

I personally believe modern government is holding us back. Lets just get this out of the way now.

In the digital age, we don't need all the hierarchy; we simply need better apps. And I most certainly do not want my apps to have personality, if they are designed to ease the means by which I exchange, equitably, with everyone else using my app^W^W^Wwho is a member of my society...

>The idea of the individual would need to be eliminated to remove all secrets.

I believe this is a call-to-authority fallacy. You have not thought the original statement through; but rather acted as an individual unit of agency reacting to the pressure of the masses.

Of course we will still have individuals; human bodies are made that way, and hopefully will stay that way for a long time yet.

What we won't have is rock-star/evil-genius politicians, nor will we have much reason to keep secrets to each other, over who has rice and who has salt and who is on the way to Mars, and so on ...
The Apollo program was a money sink because it was an experimental project based entirely on untested technology and subjected to very tight time constraints, whose client was willing to paying a premium to get the results he ordered in record time.

SpaceX doesn't have to deal with many of those constraints, and the project needs to be profitable in order to get the program running. Consequently, while the Apollo program design in a 10-year timespan about four launch vehicles, rebuilt from scratch about two dozen launch vehicles and conducted over a dozen manned flight missions to the moon, after nearly two decades of existence SpaceX is being lauded for using a rocket more than once.

Requirements are different. Therefore, planning is different and results are also different.
I respectfully disagree that vernacular makes contributions somehow substandard. It's still language and still affords a full range of expressibility. You're only saying that because in your mind you connote English with "professional" and whatever other niceties while vernacular is vulgar, uneducated, etc... But vernaculars have rich histories in many countries and by virtue of being used by the populace, have deep utility. Yes, they're not international, but English has only gained the status of lingua franca by virtue of its expanse; it could very well have been Chinese. They're nothing inherent to English that makes it superior and if we're solely basing our justifications on business use, like I said Chinese would be a better choice if you're looking towards the future. By the way, I highly recommend trying to learn about other languages, some of them have really beautiful systems, both verbal and written and some language features are really nice like phonetic alphabets.

Regarding France, I think you're conflating language with law. The only thing allowing France to police but the UK not to is the law, not the language itself. You think these countries aren't already capable of getting translators to look at comments reported to them? The language isn't protecting anyone, it's being in another country that has freer speech laws. Better advice would be to move to the US. (but in actuality isn't better advice because our government isn't really any better what with all the surveillance going on and our own terrorism hysteria)

There's a concept in linguistics called the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis [0] that I think you subscribe to—that language determines thought. It's failed to gain consensus by linguists but still isn't a closed matter. I think if we consider how people all over the world use language, we can find that they're just the same as us. The only thing preventing us from understanding them is our own implicit biases, our prejudices, our looking down on them. This sort of evangelizing of English isn't really that far off from the spread of Christianity through imperialism, though America's own "Manifest Destiny". We should think twice before imposing our will on others because we think it's by default better. At the end of the day unless you're working in an international market or planning to live elsewhere, you don't really need to know English specifically. I think everyone should learn another language, but instead focus on what languages interest you and which one you actually need, not just whichever is the top dog or has a sense of superiority attached to it. (similar to how white skin is now considered beautiful in a lot of countries, to the point where people are getting their skin bleached)

It educates the masses as to the nature of the lies of their society.

This may not be good for "Americans", but it is good for "Humans".

Do you think I really want to do business with an American company if I know they are liable to secret, hidden manipulation by their own government, while facilitating a facade of 'freedom'?
I think the drop in revenue is because the market is really saturated. All those millions of guitars produced are not destroyed, it's not the kind of product that you can apply 'planned obsolescence' to. Instead, the vintage one's are often better sounding and therefore more popular. Also, if you find a good vintage guitar you are almost assured it will remain good as the wood has proven to be stable.

If there is a slow death to guitar than it is because it's almost impossible to earn any money with it, except for the lucky few. Learning an instrument like guitar takes many, many years, which is quite a hobby.. If you would spend the same amount of time in learning software development you are almost assured to have a solid income as result.
absolutely right--we need those relay nodes. The risk of running a tor relay node in the UK is substantial; obviously many times more so in Russia.

The man was an extraordinary among extraordinaries. The guitarit's guitarist as they say.

Beside music, the notion of culture itself changed, it's palpable; the previous era was inspired a lot by music; today the passion has shifted down, at least as a mainstream thing. It's an industry in maintenance mode. Youngins may not be thrilled to be a guitar player, but in a way guitar heros aren't that much interesting. The instrument value in itself has not decreased.
There are plenty of companies who are the only company that manage to do something ever in the history of something.

For example Boston Dynamics had an autonomous robotic mule that can travel pretty much through any terrain. How awesome is that? Yet, that doesn't make the evening news, does it?

In this case, SpaceX is a company that managed to reuse the same equipment to try to cut their operational costs. Well, that's neat and all, but do you understand why no one stays up late at night to watch this sort of stuff happen live? Or at all?
Could it be that you're uneducated (which is fine, there's so much music produced nowadays that's hard to be educated in all niches) and listening to shitty electronic music that the mainstream industry is advertising endlessly to recycle the same formula again and again for cheap gains? Similar to shitty music like "The Archies - Sugar Sugar" or anything from The Ramones. There's an endless stream of shit music from all years and genres.

Don't expect subtleties from an industrial product, just like you wouldn't expect them from an apartment building (compared to art-chitecture).

As I said, electronic music is a medium, not a genre. You could listen to an electronic version of Bach's Toccata In D Minor played live by a virtuous pianist and it wouldn't lose subtlety or sensitivity due to the electronic process of sound synthesis. If done well, it could actually acquire new subtleties through timbre manipulation techniques.

Don't confuse medium and product.

Listen to those back to back and if you still find no subtleties or sensitivity go check a doctor ;) Now seriously, it's fine not to like them, but you have to concede these are very well done pieces of art.
You're mis-framing my position in a highly offensive way.

Ignorance of the law is not a defence against it. That's right and proper.

If I believe you are happy with me taking money from your wallet, and so take some. Can you see that would be a different category morally to if I believed you would condemn such action and yet still took the money. Both situations might be theft, both might be judged morally wrong. But to me the moral character of the person in the two situations is different. And, that differences is worthy of note.

I'm both amused and angry that Windows 10 adopted the same model as the big commercial Linux distributions: a fast-cycle OS that upgrades every 6 months (but might have bugs), and a slow-moving version that they support for a long time but won't suddenly change behavior or stop working with your hardware.

It is a proven model in the Linux world. The unpleasant thing is that Microsoft shunted millions of users on to the equivalent of Fedora or non-LTS Ubuntu without bothering to explain this.
Good points. The 30% increase and the not-straight-distance could explain a 50% slowdown. But here we have a 500% difference.

Also the number of hops probably isn't really relevant : there probably isn't any router in the middle of the Atlantic, and just like you said there is already a bunch of router on an European-only route whose latency would most likely be below 10ms.
That's a pretty cool way to think about recipes!
I especially love the Graphviz visualization of the recipe.
The general strategy would be a) introduce less heat and b) extract more. The first might be accomplished through greater efficiencies, though that's limited.

If a major heat component is braking, then locating the additional cooling capacity where breaking is heaviest (presumably on inbound station approaches) might offer advantages -- at the very least this reduces the total treated area for maximum effect.

Given the possiblity of ground-based thermal banking, and the long-term nature of the issue, if any amount of coolant could be circulated through the thermally-affected clay, and made available for seasonal heating needs elsewhere in the city, that might be a net win.

I'm familiar with geothermal energy projects elsewhere (borehole projects in Australia, the Habernero project) where the problem is actually inverted: themal extraction cools the strata around a borehole, over the course of about 40-50 years, to the point that no further useful heat can be extracted.

The thought also occurs that the steel rails themselves are thermally conductive and might be made a part of the cooling system. Not a tremendous radiative surface, but a long conductive length. Poorly placed, that is, low within the tunnel, rather than high, for effective heat extraction though.

Again, I might be old or weird but all you posted is nice but something not, to me, interesting to play. This is all personal taste and whatever, but as a guitar player, I can not only feel what they will play but also just play it. And, as it goes with many things, if I can do it, it cannot be all that special(that is probably something people take pills for these days ;)
