So is long distance running natural?

Periodic fasting?

Living on no meat?

Sitting on an elevated seat to defecate?

Eating bananas in the wintertime? Or in non-tropical regions?

Living surrounded by 1,000,000 other people?

Sleeping in a heated (or air conditioned) room?

Modern medical care when you're injured or ill?

We really have no idea what "the norm of natural" would be. And some things that are not "natural" are clearly beneficial.
You must be young or not know very many women. Nearly every woman eventually starts growing facial hair. Many remove it every day. And some women do lose their hair, though admittedly it's much less common.
I am more the lone wolf type myself. I am fine with collaborating, actually enjoy it when needed, but I prefer doing the majority of my work alone or with a small team and banging my/our head against a problem until I/we have figured it out.

What's starting to bother me is that there is a trend where extroverted people (like her I assume) try to change education and workplaces to suit their style but introverted people get pushed aside. A ton of people sitting in a room and talking is good, working alone is bad, not inclusive and biased.

Am I the only one who actually enjoys working alone and is this a bad thing? Do we have to accommodate extroverts everywhere and always? I don't complain about HR and marketing not being inclusive towards shy introverts. Sometimes I am starting to feel like a small minority although I am a white middle aged male.
Being overweight or the diet associated with being overweight? Particularly with recent research showing that the gap between periods of consumption can help the pancreas regenerate[0].

Yeah, this laptop was supposed to replace my old MacBook Air. I had that thing for five years, and not once had a problem with it, even after dropping it and damaging the shell. I wanted to get a linux-compatible laptop and switch to it full time, but I'm having serious second thoughts. The build quality of Macs is top-notch, and to use the old cliche, it "just works". Honestly. They're ridiculously expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for.

Two thoughts: First, I abhor solicitations and junk mail. I discard them without a second thought, and never open them. So I wonder what the success rate of these mailings are, and their cost effectiveness. Do people really open junk mail? I'm even more annoyed when I am tricked on the rare occasion to open them.

Second, early in my career I worked as a receptionist. I once received thirty envelopes for the thirty partners in the firm. Each contained an old skeleton key. This was maybe 2003, so to send a metal skeleton key in an envelope to thirty individuals was, by no means, an insignificant sum. My director, upon reading the first solicitation, declared them all persona non grata, toss the letters, and the keys. No one ever saw the letters and the keys wound up at the Goodwill on my way home.

I've been jogging for a long time. For the first year, I had to force myself to do it. After that, I was surprised to find I started enjoying it, looking forward it, and missing it if I didn't do it.

I don't try very hard at it, I'm not running against time, I just jog and don't worry about it.

As for boredom, the opposite happens to me. I find I think better while jogging. I work on programming bugs while jogging, and often find solutions that eluded me while sitting at my desk. I write articles and compose presentations while jogging. It's often my most intellectually productive time of the day.
I think en dashes are good enough to use as comma replacements. I especially like The Economist's style of using a thin space, then an en dash, then another thin space to punctuate the break properly. But in plain text, I'm perfectly fine with using two hyphens together.

It is not "optimising" because nobody even hopes for something "optimal".

> … rather than expressing them as particular instances of more general things (as you'd do using category theory), he breaks them into a small set of more fundamental things which can be re-combined into familiar design patterns.

How do these two approaches differ from each other? As far as I can see, they’re exactly the same thing. From the linked article:

> Smith introduces a foundational layer of patterns terminology: a collection of core patterns that can't be decomposed further.

This is exactly the purpose of category theory. Rather than have group theory, set theory, propositional logic, etc., category theory unites all of these into something that cannot be decomposed further (identity and composition).

I don't see how using CMOV would be appropriate there --- I'd compile it as something more like this:

cmp eax, ebx
sbb eax, eax
and eax, 64
; eax = (*c < mins[len]) << 6

so how does quantum mechanics explain the continuous and coherent (more or less) sequence that is perceived even in a non-physical dream?
I agree with that.

My critic is towards stating that automation (robots, ai, etc.) causes a loss of jobs in absolute terms, as if in the future most of the people will be unemployed.

There's a radical difference between stating that changes (loss and creation at the same time) in the jobs market will cause disruption, and stating that jobs will be lost and that's it.

Thinking the (r)evolution in nihilistic terms will distract from improving the problems typically caused by the market change (which is the one you mentioned).
I am all for discovering new learning techniques to help woman but as a woman who got my degree in computer science, I can't help but doubt this. I would describe much of the subject matter in my classes to appear "dry" or unenthused at times but I've talked to men who perceived computer science in the same way - and only came to learn it and appreciate it later in their lives.

There were subjects I was required to take such as EE which did not interest me whatsoever. But with CS, I was genuinely enthused and a "lack of collaborative work" was certainly not stopping me personally. (If anything, I really liked solo work) I think what could have helped me was simply a bit more humor and light heartedness in my classes. College moved fast for me and I would have benefited from more opportunities to ask "dumb" questions in a friendly setting. I wonder how else they could address "perfectionism and a fear of failure".
Asians are accepted to colleges. The point of these problems is to prevent any undesirable groups from passing the exam ever.

What if we had mandatory “flexible living space” arrangements for the executives behind this? You know, Millennials aren’t into houses, cars, having children, or owning stuff these days anyway. Isn’t it so much better to have the flexibility and freedom of choice to decide each night whether you will sleep under a bridge, in a tent camp, or on a park bench? Think of the synergistic efficiencies. The idea of each person having a fixed apartment is so outmoded.

If an employer has so much contempt for you that they don’t think you even rate a permanent slot on a workbench, kick them in the shins and run far, far away.

I guess they have "reverse discrimination" in handing out prizes for intellectual contributions too. From Wikipedia: "While only about 2% of the U.S. population is of full Jewish descent,[1] 27% of United States Nobel prize winners in the 20th century,[1][2] 25% of Fields Medal winners, 25% of ACM Turing Award winners,[1] 9 out of the 19 world chess champions, and a quarter of Westinghouse Science Talent Search winners have either full or partial Jewish ancestry."

Just guessing, but maybe a difference between recreational exercise by choice vs duty or imposed regimen. Or perhaps just having choice over the kind of exercise makes a difference.
We see class actions and government intervention over things like wristbands that give a small percentage of people rashes, antennas that perform poorly if you hold your phone in a certain away, or devices that fail just out of warranty.

I think the difference is they're extensions of laws for more egregious things like; things that electrocute you, things that give you cancer, or things that explode. (I'm sure another factor is that physical things have been sold for much longer than digital things) Since digital things don't have those catastrophic examples, the other violations don't have the same protections.
I've never been able to reach a point where weight training is anything but boring and painful. The trouble is it requires mental focus, and I cannot think about other things while lifting.

Sure technically both genders grow facial hair. But still, men can grow much more hair on average than women, especially facial hair, no? South Asian females as an example sometimes can have more hair than average in many spots, but then you have many men with forest levels of hair around their body.
This may be more or less true, but that's a separate problem from globalization. Due to globalization China got much much richer (to the point of politically bullying other countries due to economical power), but the distribution of the income is an internal problem.

Why exactly? Is there a threshold of bits per channel / resolution, why at 8 bits?

I can understand that it would become less useful, because error diffusion does less if you have more levels. But (I expect) it's still useful at 6 bits (64 values), is 8 not just an arbitrary treshold?
I'm the dev lead for WinDbg and the windows debugging platform, and I'm a former dev working on time travel debugging (I wrote the cpu emulation for the project). Happy to answer any questions that anyone has.

Since I'm "posting too fast", let me put my answers here for now:

qod: Right now you can attach TTD to a process after initialization (or any point in time prior to the repro), but you can't trace starting from a breakpoint. We'd love to add that functionality though, so I'm sure you'll see it in a future version of the tool.

Glad you like the new WinDbg! It's been very polarizing (which you can see just reading the comments on this post!), so it's good to hear the positive feedback sometimes :)

We've got a ton of plans to make debugging even faster and more effective in WinDbg, so hopefully we'll win more people over as we make our tools easier to use and more powerful.
I am not your buddy, and you cannot read.

I wrote "For decades there was a policy" and if you follow and read the link the immediately following text is "These policies eventually died out in the 1950s, as World War II veterans began to enter college on the GI Bill."

Since you brought up "the narrative", you must certainly know that narratives change over time.

I mentioned this to show that the narrative which once excluded Jews from the Ivy League has indeed changed, and Jews are now treated more "white" than they used to be.

For that matter, Finnish people are now treated as 100% white, when a century ago many Europeans and Americans considered them to be Mongolians and thus Asian - "China Swedes" in American slang - and some wanted them to be subject to the Asian Exclusion Act.

Is there a specific part of what you're referring to with

I haven't read the manifesto and don't want to procrastinate now. Are you saying he knew his stuff about women being inferior for the work Googlers do (which I wholly disagree with) was him partially BSing and just stirring shit up or trying to get his sexist viewpoint across with any excuse possible?
Almost all the text is ascii, so the branch predictor gets things right. Correctly predicted branches are nearly free, costing about as much as their decode overhead.

It'd be interesting to see the results where you have randomly shuffled characters of all lengths, although it's likely to be something you see in reality.
Dealing with situations like this where you can’t guarantee you read a complete decode sequence is exactly where memory mapped files are gold.

Replacing read, test sequence end, buffer, drop buffer if it exceeds certain length without sequence end but record sequence start, seek until end sequence is found, and process that mess in a safe, passably-efficient manner with memory mapped files made my cross-platform tac a breeze to write: https://neosmart.net/blog/2017/a-high-performance-cross-plat...

> You should also understand that a list itself can be a monad.

A list is not a monad — it’s just a container of values, ie. a functor. A monad is a data structure defines a computation in a specific context, and allows composing these in a sequential manner. For example, the Haskell IO monad is a computational context in which you can do input/output, and all of these IO operations are represented using a data structure of the type “IO <return_value>”.

For example, the function “readLine” has the type “IO String”, and represents a computation that reads a line from standard input and returns it as a string. At runtime, evaluating this value will result in the runtime system asking the user for some input, and at compile-time this is represented as the string (that the user enters at runtime) inside the IO monad.

I'm more fearful of sugar and simple carbs than sat fats.
There's also a huge amount of distorted thinking about the relationship between body shape and weight or body fatness. For example, it's extremely common for people to believe (and dishonest elements of the "fitness industry" to promote) that there's some diet or exercise to change a feature that's primarily determined by skeletal structure or muscle insertions (peaked biceps, thigh gap, etc.).
If the near-50-50 gender ratio in math is explained by math teachers, wouldn't we expect a similar ratio in physics?

Being on a caloric deficit is a sufficient condition for weight loss[0]. The composition of your diet will determine what ratio of it is actually fat/lean body mass, ie diets higher in protein will usually yield higher fat loss and keep more LBM. Exercise/resistance training is also a factor.

That really was a cool feature of VMware (and I used to work on the vmware hypervisor briefly), although it used very different techniques and was limited to single core record/replay. Microsoft TTD is based on a different technology, and captures traces of individual processes. More useful for usermode folks, less useful for kernel mode folks compared to the vmware technology.

That's a nice sentiment, but it's not actually very true. With regard to this particular article, I think there are plenty of women who can thrive in the environment she described. I know some of them. So, I don't think this particular situation is caused by divergent information processing between men and women.

That being said, information processing is a multi-dimensional thing. The axes of difference between men and women may be different than the axes of variance among men and women. To say that "the differences among men and women outweigh the differences between men and women" is to ignore the fact that they may not be the same differences we're talking about.

This is a thorny question, because it obviously implies that men are better at some things and women are better at other things. This can reinforce biases, and entrench or seem to justify unfair treatment. But the fact that an issue may be fraught does not change the truth-value of its propositions.

For whatever reason, gamification [and accountability] work[s] great for me.

I've moved from an apartment to a house, which means I have two staircases I traverse daily, a small lawn to mow, and a few other things like that.

It's amazing to me what even a slight bit of regular activity can do. It just feels good to be even a little active on a regular basis. I feel so much more ready to move.
That's overstating it IMO - The Room's production values are pretty adequate. The sets are OK, the sound's decently recorded, it has a proper soundtrack by a real composer, the camera's mostly in focus and properly exposed etc. There are plenty of shitty DSLR films with equally bizarre dialogue, terrible acting, flawed structure etc but the unique joy of The Room is that the decent-ish production values sucker you into thinking you're watching a "real" film.
Sadly, comparable PC laptops are following the same trend. (this could be like the headphone jack, where Apple leads the way and others follow even if consumers aren't happy).
