I have the same problem, and the weird thing is,at least for me, self-criticism often goes unnoticed.

When i'm on periods of fatigue and "other mysterious illnesses" i often think:

- I'm working too hard;
- "It's stress";
- Sleeping bad or tired and don't know why;
- Just keep going, this will pass;

It takes a lot of time for me to understand that self criticism is causing all the problems.

A real life example is, i'm working on a project, and i've been having a good performance and i've been praised about it, but since i'm working alone my head thinks:

- "They're just motivating me, this doesn't even have 40% unit test coverage".
- "When the i start working with other people, this won't work".
- "When i integrate react with my api, this will go bananas".

Truth is, i have zero evidence of this, and truth is, it's not that bad, but in my head, i have this deep fear that all of those things will become true.

Generally it hits me when i reach point where i'm out of ideas on why i'm feeling so bad and so stressed and i start exercising and my head relaxes and starts thinking and only then i realise, "hey, chill dude. Remember that you have a tone more stuff important than that project, life, wife , kid, cat, family."

And i keep exercising so i stay with a focused mind.

Until i stop because i started a new project or other cool stuff, only to fall on the same trap all over again.

I hate this, and i haven't been able to overcome this for years.
It's up and down.
> I would sincerely hope that the small Yoga studio is not attempting to custom code their website in this case, in which case the economical solution is for the Yoga studio to use a GDPR compliant website and mailing list toolset, and simply migrate to a different set if they find that they aren't.

You just gave a perfect example of why GDPR will hurt startups and innovation.
I'm baffled by the video of a sound that can be heard as either "green needle" or "brainstorm," depending on which word one imagines while listening to it. They don't even have the same number of syllables. I'd like to know what's going on in the brain to create this auditory illusion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pRY3wlKwm8

From what I see, Hindu nationalists are massively trying to rewrite history, forcing changes to school textbooks and curricula, to fit their political agenda.

That is a bad path to go down, no matter who you are or where you come from. This is not merely something written about by "random journos", this is coming from critical journalists and historians within India.

>"The current ideology of liberalism obviously detests the word tradition"

Far from it. Tradition has strong bonds that bind societies and people together, they should not merely be cast away. However, one must not be blinded by tradition, especially not by traditions that are much younger than they appear, and traditions that are pushed by those with a political agenda.

>"Greek and Roman philosophers were great of course, but none matched the heights to which Hindu philosophy went. And the height to which ancient Indian civilization went, there's no evidence to say that any other civilization went that far."

Those are extremely subjective statements, without any qualifiers at all. It is not enough to simply make a statement of superiority, and expect others to blindly believe it.

Did ancient India reach great heights? Sure, for the time period in which it happened. But the following fall was dizzying, and other civilizations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, Rome and so) arguably reached similar or greater heights. It is not an easy thing to quantify, since they reached their ultimate heights in different areas.

Striving for greatness is awesome. But it should not be built on a basis of politically rewriting history to fit a particular narrative.

You're obviously proud, which is good. But you also seem to have bought in to the political narrative, being pushed by those with a nationalistic agenda. The situation is bad in a lot of places in India today, but unchecked nationalism is never the answer and turning a blind eye to deeply set cultural and societal issues is not a solution.

Why would you have to be able to enjoy another culture? As long as the cultures live apart and don't bother each other, it's good enough.

Just like being vegan. As long as I don't force you to eat meat and you let me enjoy a stake with cheese, all is good. But once we try to establish baseline (either all-vegan or mandatory-meat), all goes down the shitter...
What is results disturbing is that you are arguing just for the sake of arguing. "Algorithm" is a too wide term - everything is an algorithm, especially in programming. Talk was about abstractions, now you're trying to say it was about algorithms. We need "ignore" button here.
Speaking of school, and forgive me for not adding anything to discussion at hand, my biggest distraction was always sweat. I’d get so hot and sweaty most of the times that my butt would leave a sweat stain on the seat. I’d say I spent a good portion of total learning time just worrying about the embarrassment that would result from having a sweaty butt and leaving a stain. Mind you I was not overweight, just a very sweaty kid. I don’t know this for certain but if my school had ac I may have actually learned better by paying attention in class instead of worrying about my butt. Educators take notice.
I'd guess he's referring to your (likely correct) implication that the regulators will give more weight to your "friendly and helpful" behavior than to how the text of the law applies to the facts of your case.

The concept of the rule of law was invented primarily in countries that now belong to the EU. Is there no one left there who still thinks it's important? It's not even that people argue "the GDPR couldn't be less vague without loopholes, and this is important enough that it's worth the cost". The idea that a powerful human's best attempt to objectively apply stable, published rules is generally better than a powerful human's unrestrained discretion just seems foreign to most commenters here.

If you ran an organization publicly associated with George Soros in Hungary (whose prime minister has described him as an "enemy of the state"), then would you still feel good relying on your friendly relationship with the government? What steps would you take to comply with the GDPR as it's currently written, if you couldn't rely on the goodwill of the people interpreting it? With a sufficiently corrupt government, there's nothing you can do; but the point where a judge will accept an obvious lie tends to come long after the point where a regulator lets politics disambiguate a vague standard.

Not really, in fact it's the other way around.

While rendering triangle meshes using rasterization (the "classic" way) is fast (because modern hardware is built for this), doing real-time light transport is a pain-in-the-ass, and involves a lot of inelegant (but very smart!) tricks (e.g. shadow mapping). On the other hand, we have ray tracing on triangle meshes, which is elegant, but really doesn't perform as well as rasterization, because you need a lot of rays to converge to a non-noisy result.

The state-of-the-art global illumination renderers all use a hybrid approach. Either they reduce the triangle mesh so real-time Radiosity becomes viable (like in the Frostbite 2 engine), but these suffer from not being able to simulate specular surfaces as good. While the other approach is to discretize the mesh to a voxel representation and do Voxel Cone Tracing (VCT) (which is the same as ray tracing, but instead of shooting rays, you shoot "thick" rays, and get the incoming importance over an area), which produces non-noisy results, and can be done really fast. There is a reason why engines like Unreal Engine, Unity and Godot have started to implement VCT, and why a lot of research is being geared toward finding efficient ways to do scene voxelization (just look at the DICE/SEED thesis work proposals and you'll see that this is indeed true).

The advantage of having an engine that only deals with voxels is that the techniques I've shown above can be done naturally, you can use a "pure" voxel approach instead of a hybrid. There is no need to convert triangle mesh scene to a voxel representation. My main worries with the method shown in the article is that doing animation (those not generated procedurally) using voxels is very hard. Also, the amount of memory needed to store a voxel scene is several orders of magnitude larger than a triangle mesh, even if you compress it, and worst of all, you need to store the animation as well, and depending on how that's done, can be a absolute nightmare (but I'm not up-to-date with the latest reserach there, maybe there are some fancy techniques that solve this problem).
> Given sufficient training data, a neural network can probably learn to model physics.

Maybe basic Newtonian physics, but I seriously doubt any ANN we've built to date could come up with QM or Relativity no matter how wonderfully massive and accurate the data was.

Looks to me like those required sophisticated conceptual understanding of the world in addition to leaps of the imagination and creative thought experiments.
I think many employers are able to justify it because

When an employee is at the best position (age wise), they hop jobs a lot and negotiate higher pay even at the detriment of the company. Yes, it does cost a lot when an employee hops too much. Employers have no option here.

This system will always have winners, you can definitely improve the situation but you'll have to tax the winners, it has never worked well in past.
In Russian it's "ребёнок" (child) and "дети" (children). "Дети" is actually a plural form of now archaic "дитя" and used because... "ребёнок" does not have a plural form.

The funny thing here is that "ребёнок" while not being archic comes from an anchient-russian "робя", which has plural form "робята", which is actually used in modern language too, but meaning can be anything from "boys" to "guys" or any other generalisation of a group of young people (both boys and girls).

PS: at the same time you can actually invent a plural for "ребенок" if you want to, but it may be considered as something similar to cockney, but used on purpose in otherwise normal speech.
I experienced this with Facebook too, but not because I felt envious of other peoples' social highlights and I was comparing myself to that.

Facebook often shows you posts and photos from the same time in previous years, like memories but not particularly authentic. I found myself getting into a worse state of mind when I started comparing who I am now to who I was a year ago, two years ago... because my own highlight reel back then was far more exciting and vibrant than it has been more recently. Or that's what Facebook will have you believe, because it's just a one-dimensional window into a vast and diverse existence. It won't show you anything from your past that doesn't unambiguously register as 'happy'.

It makes it really easy to forget that there are positive notes to things you can't share so easily, so the comparison is as misleading as it is damaging.
Do you plan to publish the differences somewhere? If so I'll have a look in a few months, but for now I'll want to let it settle down and see.

I have a hunch that the nominally feminine gender is rather one of subjunction, not to say subjugation. Der Himmel -> Die Sonne -> Das Wetter. Der Tag -> Die Nacht -> Das Jahr. Der Mond -> Die Sterne -> Das Pantheon ... OK, I am not quite sure, but at least gender was an innovation in Germanic, whereas the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European knew inflection for in-/animate -- e.g. there were two different words for fire, where the the other gave ignition [1].

It stands to reason that the feminin came to be at the boundary between these.

[1] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-Eur...

PS: This is fun ... Der Mensch -> Die Familie -> Das Dorf. Der Krieger, die Krieger, das Kriegen. Der Aktionär -> die Aktie. Die Aktionärinnen ... das Aktienpaket. Der Karren (car), Die Karre (load), das Ankarren, das Herangekarrte, das Karree (See [2] for more on four wheels, strange animism, etc. Ultimately inconclusive).

Note that the pluralizing morpheme -en was written -in in old german. Also note that many case inflections come out as -en, so I suppose that female forms were in the objectified part of speech more often, where the gender is not reflected in the article (den Kindern, Männern, Frauen).

That’s correct. Product strategy and messaging from a team that also has a significant technical background. Also giving industry landscape/perspectives at customer and sales events.

To parent’s point, very specialized and experienced engineering consultants can make a lot. Even something like an expert witness report can be $4-5K per day.

But to repeat these tend to be gigs where this sort of click is running for a very small portion on 200 days per year. It’s not at all like regular contract work.

> I've heard native Americans talk about how nobody went hungry and nobody was broke before the concepts that colonialism brought to reality, but isn't that part of the cost of a modern world?

No, that's why it's a regressive world in some aspects, gimmicks nonwithstanding. Technology, discoveries, inventions etc. are orthogonal to empathy, culture, respect. You cannot brush the suffering of others aside like without being ready to swap places with the lowest of them.

> It's horrific that human history reveals that periods of conflict are usually actually pretty helpful for advancing technology (ww2, middle east, Internet to some extent), but there's no obvious alternative.

? There's alternative to what, exactly? Inventions? Even you yourself say it's "helpful", so not even essential, by definition. It's also not the only "helpful" thing. You don't need an alternative for that drink that makes your hair grow 10% faster and gives you cancer. FFS.

> It seems that humans are invested in not going collectively backwards

Actually, we seem to be invested to lay waste to all natural resources and any vestiges of autonomy, and then murder each other when filtered air and water becomes really expensive. And I bet you, someone will be there to talk about how there's "no obvious alternative".

For the economy, it is actually better to miss the shipment than to catch it.
But how would a neural network know to connect data for mass with data for the measured speed of light? Why would a neural network be looking for an equation for energy conversion in the first place? If you just provide tons of raw data from instruments, what does that mean? What do yo do with it?

Sure, a human can clean the data and put it into a format that gives meaningful results. But if we're just talking about an AI learning from raw data with no supervision, where does it even start?
Putin's Russia should be absolutely RED, not yellow. Putin is a communist and slowly returning every aspect of the Soviets style of living.
This debate seems over the top.
It’s pretty simple. A person who has a strong sense of self (“selfish”) is the one that can truly empathize. Empathy drives true selflessness because u can connect with another person and feel their needs transparently. Once you feel someone’s needs transparently it’s pretty hard to get not take care of those needs (to the empathizers best ability).

If we tap into that empathy (which I believe everyone living on planet earth has a strong dose of) imagine how much better our world would be.
> Second, it is just taken as a given here that knowledge workers become less productive over time. Why are engineers downhill starting in middle age but not doctors, lawyers, professors, and professional coaches?

Software engineers in particular. Computers really started to stabilise in the 2003 when single core clock speeds hit a wall. 'Rapid' change since then looks a bit glacial compared to what rapid meant in the 90s. I don't have anything to back it up, but I'm pretty suspicious that a lot of specific techniques that were important in the 90s are no longer important.

I know lawyers were in existence in ~500BC and the law famously changes slowly. Doctors, coaches, etc are in a similar boat where the situation now is basically the same as when they were 10 years old. No such similarities in software, the languages, bottlenecks, opportunities and best-practice mindset (in many areas) has changed. It makes sense why software engineers under the age of 30 would have an edge. If hardware continues to plateau (moderate if, given graphics cards) then the current generation will not have the same problem when they are 50.

ASIDE: I always wonder if it is really a coincidence that Apple started making inroads at the exact second that being able to quickly incorporate new parts stopped being an exponential advantage.

Is this front-end guy an employee? Or a contractor? That changes things a little bit, but I think things below still apply.

> You need more motivation to invest some thoughts instead of just getting it over with.

That's where your team's standards help, especially if you get them set up early. If, at the point this employee was hired, it was standard to (per the article's example) spend 40% of the task time up front thinking about the problem and writing it out, then the motivation is simple: If I don't do it this way, then I won't fit in with the team that I joined and I'll probably get fired.

Onto the situation you're in right now, where this person has been on your team for a while and not doing this... Do the other teammates do this? Is there code review? Do they flag the fact that this person is implementing features sloppily and push back on that at review time?
5 Reasons to Let Your Team Work Remotely
The GDPR is a regulation and not a law, thusly the implications are different.

If you produce a device that accidentally violates FCC guidelines, would you rather be immediately punished to the extend of the regulation or rather work with the FCC to rectify the issue and how to fix it for affected customers?

The other reason is that yes the GDPR is vague. It must be because in the past corporations have abused loopholes and the only way to prevent people abusing loopholes without punishing people who don't abuse them is to make it vague and then decide on their behaviour.

And again, these are corporations, legal persons. They don't even have the remotely same rights as a natural person.
