> I find it extremely difficult to trust new research. Any tips for reversing this mindset? I know it's not too great to be feeling this way.

Why is it not great to feel this way? You give a bunch of good reasons why it is okay to feel as you do.

In general you should ignore any new research until it's had a large well run meta-analysis of it.

Until then, it's all "we think" and "maybe". And that's ok, unless you're forcing people to take a treatment or depriving them of their liberty based on the research.

In ths U.S., at least, it is illegal to block/interfere with cellular transmissions -- even for prisons (there are employees and visitors with cell phones, nearby homes, etc.).

and of course, just like real money, it's in the interests of those holding large amounts of it "go along to get along". the big banks know that, that's how they operate. this announcements almost seems like a dog whistle to those new elites and extant elites who may want to diversify their holdings.

so if this comes to pass, it effectively captures the interests of the now-wealthy first-adopters, who are presumably the most ardent proponents of the societal 'benefits' as well.

and then, we are back to square one, with a monied super-class effectively imposing the will of the bankers on the general populace through the very act of holding and controlling the wealth (which is ultimately owned by the state).

Declare the NRA a terrorist organization.

Before people misunderstand, I'm not saying we should get rid of all guns or anything like that. They do have plenty of legitimate uses. What I'm saying is that the NRA specifically represents terrorists better than they represent most gun owners. Their absolutist position, rejecting any and all restrictions on guns and ammunition, is not representative of most gun owners. All it has done, over and over, is to enable the worst kinds of crazies to bring unreasonable amounts of firepower to places where it doesn't belong. For example, it should be practically impossible to bring eight long weapons and hundreds of rounds into a hotel unless you can prove you're military or law enforcement. Where, short of that, should one draw the line? That's a reasonable discussion to have, but it can't occur as long as the NRA gets a seat - and the most influential one at that - at the table. They need to be shut out, so that reasonable people can get on with reasonable discussion about how to stop these atrocities.

Knowing more accurate footfall counts down individual corridors is essential for better planning of stations and services. And yes, it's also a boon to pricing advertising along those corridors. No way to improve one without improving the other.

But that's literally all they're getting from this: spatially granular and accurate passenger movements. They're not collecting personally identifiable data or even aggregated demographic metadata. Just footfall counts. (Read their policies: they just collect device MAC data, which is hashed with a salt that is destroyed on a daily basis. This allows them to trace MAC addresses through the network without ever being able to trace it to an individual.) But, yes, those footfall counts are relevant to advertisers. So? TFL isn't a profit-making organisation: everything they get from advertising is re-invested in operations and new infrastructure.

Anyhow, you're trusting them with your life when you ride they're vehicles. They do a pretty good job with that. Trusting them with fleeting awareness of your MAC address seems like a much smaller ask.

Yeah that was tongue in cheek, I'd assume they're talking about flash storage too. But still to check, I looked at two different reviews of the thing and they also said 8/16 GB ROM. I assume that says more about the knowledge or effort of the reviewers though.
True. When I first read the article, the first use case that popped into my head was "I need to go to work, I'll request the audio version of this article and listen during my commute". While I was totally wrong about your intended use case, so will some other people. I'd suggest looking into machine-learning-based TTS, it might give you a faster turnaround with similar quality of sound.
Based on my experience:

Apart from number of hours, it is also important that you sleep sound.
7 hrs of sleep for a person with no sleep disorder and person with sleep apnea has different impact on productivity.

For me this is what I have found
age < 20: Sleep hours never impacted my productivity, even if awake all night.
20-30 Years of age: Min 5 Hrs of sleep and I was 100% productive.
30-35+: Productivity got impacted if I slept less than 6.
At present(35-40): I am 100% ONLY if I sleep more than 7.5 Hrs.

Every now and then we see studies come out and researchers tell us the importance of sleep and its impact on our brains. I found it to be true in my case.

a decade ago I would have had a lot of ideas for you but as time goes on the more I have learned to embrace excel.

Theres two directions you could be coming from though - if its a problem of the users producing data and storing it in excel instead of your database thats more of an application problem.

But if its a matter of excel being where your users want to look at and work with the data - I say embrace that. Use your metabase/tableau/redash to provide them with that data and let them get it out in excel and do whatever they want. Give them a little time and then let them show you what theyre doing with it.

IME about half the time theyre actually doing things with it that you cant really help them with unless you spent a ton of time. The other half you can take what theyre doing and either apply those changes into the query itself, saving them time and sharing that work with others - or teach them a better/easier/faster way of achieving whatever it is theyre after. I use it as a long-tail way of gathering requirements a lot of times - let me give you all the data you might need for this and you figure out how it can be useful for you.

Are you really arguing that "you already have 1 deployment headache, why not add more?" One of the signs of professionalism is simplicity-- reducing moving parts and things that can go wrong.
You "can" swap out parts and repair iMacs, it is just not something one does casually. You need tools, instructions, skills and will-power.

The thing is most people, even pros, don't bother with that stuff even when they have Dell boxes. Apple knows that and, I think, trades off ease-of-repair for sleekness and mostly wins out (until recently).

AFAIK, there is no "screen mode" that enables one to use these things as monitors.
Not OP, but the system is described at [0], and apparently hasn't been released yet. Code for this particular story appears to be available at [1], although:

I'm a programmer and so buy middle of the line macbook pros with mid range CPUs, mid range RAM, and integrated GPUS. Ironically, my wife, a designer, always chastises me for getting such slow hardware: turns out what works for a programmer doesn't work for soemone who has to use a lot of Adobe CSS :). I assume this iMac pro would be for her, not for me.
Is the aspect ratio important? I'm choosing a roughly square image and it only calculates half an image.
Not having a painted crosswalk is fine, it just means pedestrians will cross without a potentially misleading sense of entitlement to the road. Zebra crossings tend to be reserved for very high traffic areas, schools, etc. And they're usually very well signed, often with flashing amber lights.

As for your other comment, that's crap. Australian drivers don't get away with squat compared to England or France. Our roads are almost infuriatingly sensible to the point of tedium.

I thought brits were pretty good, but nowadays half of them don't use their indicators and the other half go 15-30 MPH over the motorway limit. (Citation: just got back from three weeks of driving in England and France.)

Wouldn't that be a "working-class-specific program"?

My point was that UBI applies to everyone, an therefore is not specific to any group.
For LIGO, mergers are just the beginning. LIGO isn't just a merger detector, but an entirely new window of astronomy. There's also teams looking for stochastic background signals from the big bang (similar to the CMB), or a constant hum from spinning neutron stars. And not to mention, if the sensitivity continues to improve, the moment of merging from BH-BH collisions could lead to new breakthroughs in GR.

> I guess after this machine is obsolete, there's a "screen mode" where these things can be used as a monitor and the 18 Xeon cores are powered down?

I wish, there used to be Target Display Mode but it was removed in recent years (anything after Mid-2014). For the 5K iMac it was pretty obvious why it was missing, until fairly recently (DP 1.3 was ratified late 2014) there wasn't a connection fast enough to even drive the internal display (they ended up using a custom timing controller to overdrive a DP 1.2 link) so TDM was a no-go, but it'd be nice if they brought it back :/
I bought a top spec iMac a few years ago for working on Unreal 4 projects in my spare time and doubling as a dayjob machine, and sure enough I wanted a better GPU a couple of years later and went and bought a PC. Amusingly UE4 is actually one of the sample screenshots in the linked page. Nothing Apple does can really compensate for the rate at which GPUs get quicker, and putting an AMD one in there is doubly irritating since that's not what the majority of the market uses.

So each time you want to upgrade your GPU, you're also having to purchase a new screen. The difference in my case was between having about 10fps with a lot of debug draw in the UE4 editor on the iMac, and about 90fps for the same thing on a new PC with a 1080.

About the only good thing about the iMac was that it held its value remarkably well, and I sold it for half the purchase price 3 years later.
You took screenshots and it still broke? That's.. very odd, haha. I will look into it and see if it outputs out-of-range colors.

EDIT: My bad, there are indeed out of range colors! I will update here when fixed.
I don't understand how any of the problems mentioned are related to git flow (or even to feature branches, which is what they're really complaining about)

And I don't see how they're any better off all committing to master

eg

> Merge problems become hairier and hairier. With everybody working on a long-lived branch, there will be multiple conflicts once they eventually merge. Large scale refactors are discouraged because they will “break everybody’s branches”.

How is that different if everyone commits to master? As soon soon as someone does a large-scale refactor you'll break everyone's "master" and have merge conflicts. It's no different.

Their real problem is not knowing how to manage a team of developers, making huge PRs etc etc

Could you describe what you don't like about it? For all we know it could be that you don't like the color choices they made.
But preserving merge commits isn't a dubious recommendation, it's just about creating a consistent history. One could consider it a stylistic choice but, at least for me, it does make the history more readable.
Aspect ratio shouldn't matter, the output should still be the same size as the Content image. Mind sharing the pic?

The Book That Changed My Life
I haven't read the article and I balked when they exclaimed the bit about 18 GB of RAM. That'd be an unusual number but, more importantly, is well below what I'd expect for a minimal amount of RAM in a designated 'professional' system.

These days, I'd want 64 GB as a minimum but I suppose 32 would suit for some tasks. I still muck about with some modeling that hasn't been shunted off to the GPU, so I'd even find a use for 128 GB.

A few browser tabs, email client, IDE, and Slack are going to eat up a goodly portion of 18 GB.
Eudora is a major reason my home desktop is still on OS X 10.6.

Not mentioned in the article is that Eudora was a multi-window program, modelled after the Macintosh (spatial) Finder, making it easy to see and manage multiple mail folders (typically filter-generated, for mailing lists or important contacts) and messages together. Seemingly every other client imitates Outlook's single peephole view.
Not surprising, given that at the national level gerrymandering and the electoral college make your vote feel pointless, and deciding who to vote for at the state and local level is incredibly difficult if you don't want to just vote on party lines.

HN is really rough for popular topics where the kitchen sink feels qualified to comment, like bitcoin and javascript. pseudo-identities hurt HN badly here, you don't know if a comment is by the author of the framework, or a 22yo with two years of javascript.

Reminds me somewhat of a time my friend worked for UK Maxim magazine around about the time they were a bit risque.
They got an "important" call from the US office who had to come over for a "very important" meeting that all writers had to present for.

The content of the meeting was largely a dressing down from the US office. They had read UK Maxim recently and decided that there were too many anal related jokes and that the UK version of the magazine had to severely cut down on them upon pain of firing.
As such the review for the ipod shuffle that was due for press had to be modified to "can fit between your cheeks".
