Yes, that's Jeremy Clarkson, of course he exaggerates, but my issue is not much about "orientation", but rather with the zoom level (on a tiny device), maybe the actual colours/contrast/backlight/glare, I seem to "lose" the actual main road because a secundary one at a different zoom level seems "prevailing".

Or maybe it is just my poor eyesight, I sometimes need to take my spectacles off to see the details on a smartphone at close distance, yet I don't (yet) need reading glasses (at least not for printed paper).
> For me, technologies actually help me contextualize how much experience the person has. When a resume says "fast learner" or "team player", well, everyone else will claim that too and it becomes somewhat of an empty claim in my mind. With that said, a bullet list of common technologies does tend to come across as a junior level of experience

A list of technologies is just as easy to fake. So ideally it's "Because of X, in context Y, I did Z using technologies A, B, C." Rather than "I know A, B, C.".
Not sure of the parent poster's background, but I think his critique applies to most all package managers. I hop between homebrew, nix, apt, and yum and often have to consult the docs (or guess and hope for a confirmation before anything destructive).

I guess the alternative would be `brew update-local-repository-cache` `brew upgrade-all-packages` `brew upgrade-package vim` which isn't very appealing either. Although, the interface for autocomplete in IDEs have made it easier to use more descriptive names for things (ctrl-D isn't good enough and often isn't implemented or set up for command line tools).
Can you point me to such answers? Because for the past month or so, I open quora, see the question "What's the sluttiest thing you have done", and close it off.
Jordan Peterson is on record saying he would use preferred pronouns. He is opposed to the law and regulation of these pronouns:

23m16s is where he states he would use preferred pronouns.
What I want for all these services (Little Snitch, ESET, etc) is an EasyList-like ... list. A community-aggregated and reviewed list of servers that don't merit my connection. I'd pay a monthly subscription fee for that.

I'd also like separate lists for

* "this wifi is public, be extra cautious"

* "this wifi is public, be nice and don't torrent, do backups, etc"

* "I'm on a metered connection (e.g. LTE), don't run torrents, backups, etc"

edit: for anyone looking for a monetizable idea: this post has 41, no 42, no 43 points in about an hour. Probably a good idea...
As a PHP developer, merging the PHP repository into core will be disastrous for me. I have 27 packages installed for PHP 5.5 - 7.2, and the versioned extensions will evaporate. So much of my tooling is built around homebrew and the `homebrew/php` tap, that my entire toolchain for development will change.

The last time, Apache was switched from installing/running at the system level to user-based. That broke almost everything on my system for a day while I tried to fix it. Worse, there wasn't a warning prompt before the package upgraded.

I don't have time for things to break down every 6-12 months.
And at the elite level, that disparity is still huge.

The NFL has 32 football teams. Any quarterback outside the top 10 or so is considered 'bad' by most people. Assuming each team has a backup quarterback, out of the 64 'best' people in the world to do that job, only the top ten are so are safe from being called 'bad at their job' on any given Sunday.

There's also a story about a UFC fighter who went 0-3, and people called him a terrible fighter. Someone from his hometown mentioned how he was the toughest guy in town and one day beat up 4 guys and 5 cops at a bar all by himself, and he was only a 155lb fighter.

Its tricky, but consider the function of "trying" just another brain function. Many brain functions are required to achieve a outcome. So pure aptitude in one area might require cooperation of another. So we might be able to group different functions and map their dependencies.

You might end up with something like (effort * raw_aptitude) = actual_aptitude for a given function, and there will be crossovers where where raw_aptitude is less in one person but their effort is more. And again one could arguably assign one being better than the other.

When we talk about these sorts of things there are not many "gotchas" because you can't use one brain function to discount the other brain function as they really work together. So I really don't feel like somebodies lack of effort negates anything I said in the original post, as it is just another brain function.

This does bring up a interesting crossover where mental faculties does play a role in physical performance. There was a study that showed that "smart" people made poor solders. The notion was that the smarter person was able to think further in the future about how their actions, or orders may play out. It was their ability to ponder the possibilities that ultimately caused them to shut down. On the flip side somebody who did not think as far into the future, or was not keen to pondering on future possibilities executed orders without hesitation -- making them a better solder. I don't know if I agree with this study, or their notion of smart, as "smart" can be subjective and is not really well defined. But it is fun to think about and wonder how these things do play a role in every day life.
What you say shows the exact same mistake (but in opposite direction) as the "victim-blaming" crowd - conflating moral responsibility with practical wisdom. Yes, putting that gold statue on your roof is just stupid, because of the world we live in. No, that doesn't make the burglars less responsible, morally and legally, for robbing you. Those two statements are true at the same time.
I agree with this. In the past few months, I've found walmart.com to be cheaper than amazon.com for manytdepartments/products (certainly not always true). However, the point is it might be worth it to comparison shop at the cost of an additional minute.

In my view, the fundamental difference between roads and schools is this (in general):

more cars on the road == worse for me

more educated people == better for me

That said, I wouldn't necessarily oppose a congestion fee for schools, especially if that money was used to replicate the success of desirable schools in non-desirable schools.

Although in reality I don't think feeding more money into our archaic school system is the answer, it needs to be reengineered from the ground up, but thats a totally different conversation.

What is often lost since Peterson became "famous" after the whole gender pronoun controversy is the quality and depth of his thinking and lecturing that was already available on YouTube. This article starts with that, and explains his popularity as a teacher at Harvard and Toronto. I had been watching his lectures for about a year before the pronoun issue, and his ideas are fascinating and deep. They tie together many disparate fields and ideas into an original and interesting synthesis.

But that synthesis is complex, nuanced, and requires a lot of time to think about. There are problems with it, and it deserves to be criticized (Peterson would be the first to agree). There are also profound insights that can help elevate your thinking if you can incorporate them. Lots of people don't have the intellectual background or ability to do so. But everyone can form a 2 second hot take on one of his more recent controversial statements, so that is what gets discussed.

I watched https://youtube.com/watch?v=PfH8IG7Awk0 a few months ago, I believe he lays out his interpretation in it. Afterwards I was inspired to go reread one of my favorite programming language essays, Perl the first postmodern computer language: http://www.wall.org/~larry/pm.html

It's still great to read but rereading I noticed at the core the same oppression narrative that seems to appear out of all postmodern discourse at some point and which JBP associates with Marxism. Here the programmer is oppressed by stuck up programming languages, Perl reverses the roles and is happy to be like a butler/slave. Which is fine for a programming language, but offers problems when reversing the oppressor/oppressed roles is the only solution you can think of, the only interpretation you wish to dwell on however flimsy the interpretation is (which seems to be where postmodernism went wrong / taken over by Marxists), and each side involves real people.

"If they were uninterested, they would simply say so, rather than making a series of excuses."

I think they make those excuses because they don't want to cause offense by saying they aren't interested in what I'm interested in (and even consider to be part of my identity).

I do agree that fear could motivate their aversion, though. But if the fear is there, I don't think it's usually rises to their consciousness or at least is something they could readily admit -- as if it was, they could simply say they're afraid, couldn't they?
1. It just feels too good to hear him talk in those maps of meaning lectures...just putting metaphors together and interpreting them as he sees fit in the moment. That’s why it’s so appealing. But quite often it’s not logic and even less conclusive.

Pretty much like a TED talk. Actually, if you look up TED talks about how to be an effective speaker, you will find the advice to talk in simple language and to use metaphors. Also, they advise you to throw in sentiments to which your audience will agree.

2. His often repeated „life is suffering“ is in the presented totallity not a useful nor true worldview. Life is suffering and joy. (I say this as a pessimist.)

Do you actually think he says that life is only suffering? Sorry, but that seems like a deliberate misrepresentation of his views. What evidence do you have that Dr. Peterson is anti-joy? Here's an exercise: find evidence in what he says that shows he values joy.

3. If you then check out his reading list you find mostly very disturbing titles and no silver lining.

Let's go right for the most disturbing: The Gulag Archipelago. It's disturbing as an indictment of the worst human beings can do, while those same people are spouting the most positive sounding utopian ideology. It's not going to depress anyone in the West, unless they have already tied up their identity and self worth in a similar ideology.

As for a silver lining -- to buck up, bear your burdens, and strive to live a worthwhile life -- strikes me as a worthwhile and positive message.

Most people with unusual gender identities understand this, and are understanding and patient with those who are making an effort to respect their wishes. It's those who consciously refuse, or mock their attempts to clarify their identities, that get called out, and they deserve it.

Yeah, it's hard for us. Hell, I'm 52. I have a lot of adjustment to do. But I try to do it, because I respect my friends. (Patton Oswald did a really excellent speech about this, btw.)

For my own part, a lot of my frustration is the loud and sincerely meant (if wrongheaded) declarations of victimhood by the privileged, simply for being asked to be nice to others. So when I hear Jordan Peterson say he's being oppressed by the evil forces of Marxist postmodernism for being asked to use preferred pronouns... I hear a comfortable, privileged person complaining about how he's a victim. And when he doubles down and says people shouldn't get to choose their own pronouns, their own identity, and instead society should choose for them? Then he's a hypocrite. And an asshole.
i loved the fact that a site about UX doesn't allow me to open the links in new tabs... sooo annoying! damn it!
> Cultural practices take time to adjust or to be adjusted externally. Move too fast and people won't be happy about it, and that should be understood.

To your point, failing to accommodate this, and expecting everyone to immediately change because you have, is its own flavor of "being an asshole."

That really depends on what nine partisans in fancy robes think, a group whose makeup changes over time and who can change their minds.

I think what GP was getting at is that it seems so fundamentally unjust that it should be unconstitutional (which is what anyone who is not a constitutional law scholar means when they say unconstitutional), not a claim about legal opinions of powerful judges.

That’s funny.

I wonder if the origin of the concept of something being trivial only in hindsight can be dated, or has it always been a truism?
If you're looking for relatively high and deterministic performance maybe Project Denver, the descendant of the Transmeta's Efficeon, would be a better choice? Of course the binary translation has tons of potential for introducing bugs but since it has an exposed pipeline the translation software would have an easier time guaranteeing you wouldn't run afoul of Specter. NVidia's incarnation seems about as fast as an A57 which isn't great but isn't peanuts either.

That's, IMO, a very strong argument.

A lot of this waste is a function of population density. With a super-dense city, where almost every conceivable product is within walking range (and, as a bonus, it's expensive to move around in cars) and prices are normalized, retail stores make sense. As the density drops down, people get into cars and often ignore their local stores, driving far out chasing rare items or discounts. Which is stupid (gas costs too) and wasteful in aggregate at the same time.

Wasn't really about the law itself. The same applies to all laws listed.

I want to know which ones are most relevant to me. I'd like to see a summary for each one so I can make that decision before loading another page. Otherwise, I needlessly have to click on them, make a decision and click back if not.

This is similar to how a blog typically shows an excerpt for each post on the blog index. See Jakob's law.
4 statements of fact that are not in dispute.

1) Tether is supposed to be backed 1:1 by USD.

2) There are now $1.7 Billion in tehters outstanding

3) They were turned down by all reputable banks they approached.

4) They have printed $450 million of tethers in the past week

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/tether/historical-data/...

Just ask yourself honestly..... do you really believe that there is a reputable bank anywhere in the world that would allow them to hold $1.7 Billion in an account and additionally make a deposit of $450 million in a single week?

Ocams razor says this can't possibly be true.
You're absolutely right. The commenter you replied to seems to implicitly assume that strong encryption is needed everywhere, but this simply isn't the case. Slack is "good enough" for many use cases, and that's fine. The ability to recognize when a given tool is no longer fit for the task at hand is a fine and valuable skill. "Let's take this to Signal" is an appropriate thing to post on Slack when the conversation warrants it.
That's right. But the point is you do not have to send food products to the USDA for approval prior to selling them.
But fiat is generally trusted with a long track record and is backed by the word of the government, a powerful and trustworthy organization to a decent extent.
I think that you identify Mr. Salviatier's main thesis: That knowing or not knowing are equally invalid until observation has been done. Of course, it's said the the very act of observation exerts change on the observed, but that's neither here nor there.

So, when I take tech teams into uncharted waters, the first thing we do is observe. Otherwise we create "ivory tower solutions" better suited to ourselves than actual users.

And, yes. Your're right. If you're supposed to be the "expert founder" then "I don't know" is not, generally in your vocabulary. However, I do suspect this is a male problem, more so, than female. Having said that, in this great time of social upheaval, vis a vis gender, perhaps it's a great time to learn from our sisters!

Awesome tip, but I feel like I'm still shit out of luck with any Amazon purchase sent via USPS. Their drivers mark all their Amazon Prime packages as delivered if it's end of day. I've had multiple Amazon deliveries that were "delivered at 7:59pm at normal mail reception desk" that they then delivered the following day

Ah, that's unfortunate. From a little research, the wording from Linode's announcement makes it sounds like they didn't get advance warning, but the wording from Digital Ocean's announcement sounds like they had a few days. I'm not sure how it all worked out, but I agree you guys are a specific case where at least little advance warning would have helped quite a bit, since you can't piggyback on the community nearly as much. Linux providers can at worst just wait for kernel patches and then roll them into production.
I did a beer tour of Belgium and apparently all of their beers are very modern (at most ~100 years old), and the dates refer to either the first brewery in the area, or the abbey itself.

What makes you think I disagree with that idea?

If everyone walked around holding a loaded gun, you would see far more gun violence. That has nothing to do with morality, just impulse control.

I am not saying people are not responsible for their own actions. Just that forms of crime prevention do actually work.
Not OP, but I sold my TV, stopped listening to all radio (including NPR), deleted Facebook, and the city I live in banned billboards from the main highway. So it is possible, just takes being willing to really go against the grain. I send friends emails or text messages and connect with new people via Meetup, which I pay for.

A bad side effect of this is that when I do hear ads or see a TV it's really, really difficult to filter it out.
"Postmodernism" and "deconstructionism" are often used synonymously: https://jakeseliger.com/2014/10/02/what-happened-with-decons... and like many overarching "isms" they've come to mean such different things that they can be used to mean almost anything.

That being said, many strands of postmodernism in universities have come to teach that there is nothing outside of language itself (that's a common reading of Foucault and Derrida), so everything can be seen as a language or sign system. Want to change "reality" (as if there is such a thing!)? Just change the language.

Another stand holds that there are only two really important groups: the powerful / powerless, which could also be seen as the "oppressors" and "oppressed." Everyone is supposed to be in one of the two groups. This gets grafted onto identity politics in rather unpleasant ways (IMO).

So in the pronoun debate, people who are transgendered or non-gendered are the oppressed and need help; everyone who is not "helping" them is the oppressor and must be opposed.

This, anyway, is the line of thinking, though it isn't my own view of the world. To say that everything is linguistic seems unlikely. When I was in grad school in English (note: don't do this: https://jakeseliger.com/2012/05/22/what-you-should-know-befo... ) and would hear this argument, I liked to observe that everyone, given the choice between getting punched in the face or having someone say something mean to them, chooses the latter. This would seem to me to argue that not everything can be reduced to language, even apart from all the other very good and obvious-seeming arguments along those lines.
This is amazing. Register and peripheral config is so easy to fuck up and waste a whole day chasing down because of limited debugging capabilities on these platforms. I've hit just about every one of those scenarios these compile-time guards now catch on one project or another.
