The physical feeling of wearing over-the-ear headphones, ear muffs, etc., is extremely uncomfortable for me. Even with very expensive “ergonomic” headphones, I can’t stand the feeling for more than a few minutes.

When I’m actually listening to music, only earbuds will work for me. I suppose I could try to get earplugs that look like decoy earbuds.

However, if your comment was meant seriously, i.e. that employees should do some noise-cancellation arms race song and dance with employers, that mildly terrifies me. How could any person actually think that it’s acceptable to let your employer treat you that way? It’s insane.

The actual best option is to first do excellent work that makes your employer respect you and really count on you to such a degree that firing you for expressing reasonable preferences is not realistic for them. Then once you have established that bar of credibility, find the right ways to constantly remind your manager and other managers that the workplace conditions are unacceptable. This requires political tact because outright grumbling or long-winded feedback sessions will be used against you. Rather instead, you have to find key moments to unassailably undermine your boss by visually demonstrating just how hard you’re working but keep pointing out that because of noise and distractions, nobody (not even good, old trustworthy you) can get the thing done on time or get the full set of features implemented, etc.

You have to convert your pain into your boss’s boss’s pain, or it will never change. Capitulating with headphone contortions is a terrible approach.
You’re partly right - a scientific endeavor to figure out the color of a button would be over-the-top, because it’s not that important.

But to the article’s point, if you’re running banking software or something, your users don’t give a shit what the button colours are; they will slog through whatever you develop because they need to get stuff done.

A/B tests are a small tool that sometimes get taken too far or used in the wrong context.

The guy was unstable yes, but he also looked super liberal. It's tough to articulate, but it exists nonetheless, it's like asking what strawberries taste like. Perhaps I can't articulate it but that doesn't mean nobody can taste them or the taste doesn't exist. Some facets about him that I don't care to enumerate gave me that impression. He was trying to appear crazy yes and he did brandish a knife as well.

You are being far too charitable with him. He essentially committed assault by creating the impression that andy was not physically safe and that he may use a knife against him.

In some cases, your connection speed may be fast enough that your router's CPU can't keep pace when doing traffic shaping. But if your router is powerful enough, then properly configured SQM will not result in any meaningful reduction in throughput (and can lead to better real-world throughput, by allowing congestion control to work properly). The more you know about the properties of your WAN connection, the more accurately you can configure SQM to account for the true limits of your connection. If you have an ADSL connection, then it helps to tell SQM to take into account ATM framing overhead, for example.

Obligatory xkcd https://xkcd.com/1174/
> Why don't the supporters of the amyloid hypothesis make a definitive prediction, then if it doesnt work out the hypothesis can be dropped?

Did you read the article? Every drug manufacturer who came up with a therapy made a definitive prediction. One predicted that drug A would break down the plaques and people would recover. Disproven. Another predicted that drug B would slow down plaque formation and people would recover. Disproven. Another predicted that drug C could bind with and disable protein A which normally disables protein B which removes amyloid plaques (and thus drug C would have the effect of letting protein B work longer before getting down-regulated) and that people would recover. Disproven.

But we come back to the reason why the someone used the word "unthinkable": a lot of researchers think that whatever the cause of Alzheimer's turns out to be, it will have to explain why amyloid plaques exist in Alzheimer's patients. (If it were just a random coincidence, you would expect the plaques to show up in people without Alzheimer's, but they don't.) So everyone who disproved at great expense some theory about amyloid plaques is going to look for some related theory that they can try, since that won't require that they start from scratch. They can test early treatment, or a combination therapy, or...

I think you can see that the brain is complicated enough that "amyloid plaque in the brain causes Alzheimer's" is not quite detailed enough to test. No one has figured out how the brain works well enough to prove that the plaques cause the damage (or even to quantify in objective terms at the neural level what the damage is), and the formation and removal of plaques is a horrible web of interactions between potentially thousands of proteins. Thus every specific, testable theory ends up being quite similar to a lot of other specific, testable theories. Disproving one doesn't disprove them all.

So the best way to disprove the amyloid hypothesis might turn out to be finding a cure by some other route. The exiting thing is that people are starting to actually try this, with real money. Perhaps in 10 or 15 years we'll know if they succeeded. Or it might take longer.

Just because someone presents information that contradicts your anecdotal experience, that doesn't mean they're astroturfing. Though at this point, if you're going to start slinging bad-faith accusations with no basis, it's pretty clear this conversation is going nowhere.

Isn't the most popular justification for giving bungs to attract/retain employers that it "creates jobs"?

If you're going to pay someone to do something, it makes sense to agree the details of what you're paying them to do - that seems like common sense to me.

Otherwise you might spend $$$$ thinking you're attracting a software development centre with 200 employees on low-six-figure salaries, but instead get a data centre with 20 employees on mid-five-figure salaries.

Seeing as this guy -- who could make reams of money[1] if he's an accurate price predictor by shorting bitcoin by buying deep, out-of-the-money puts -- isn't rich by doing so, indicates he's inept at making price predictions.

You have those small engines/jets/scooters for divers, so exhaustion from swimming should not be a problem, right? They also can place long glowing ropes in murky water; it's been done all the time in caves (or bind them to scuba divers, one in front, one in the back of a group). Once those boys get proper proteins/water and wait for a day or two to recover, they should be able to work it out, unless rain picks up - they are old enough to be considered adults in some Asian cultures, perfect age for an adventure of lifetime. But then even their current position is under danger as it could be flooded further or if a large flash flood occurs, then all bets are off.

There doesn't seem to be much actual content here. The article states "Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears to have" without ever mentioning what caused them to believe Elon Musk is involved. Then it states "It's not clear how many cars, if any, have left the station without doing this test."

So, they not only have no evidence Elon Musk is involved in this, but have no evidence that proper testing has been skipped on cars.
And then they go ahead and title the article "Elon Musk ordered Tesla engineers to stop doing a critical brake test on Model 3s".

Stop it with the bullshit clickbait headlines. It's bad enough having them completely permeate politics, but now that it's becoming so widespread in other areas is just proving how correct people like Elon Musk are in their criticism of the media.

> Very few people push for more taxes to pay for education

That's not supported by the facts. A candidate for U.S. President who advocated funding free college education for families with incomes under ~$100K received the most votes for President. A candidate who advocated free college education for everyone arguably was third most popular (though we have no official measure of that).

That isn’t the same. Asking money early on is often a clear validation of monetizable ideas, which isn’t the case with open source projects; even if you gain traction, you never know whether the users will pay for it.
So called odd meter time signatures are not “tricks” and labeling them as such is a bit of a stretch. Most music is composed in 4/4, four beats in a measure with the quarter note getting the down beats. It’s so often used it’s called Common Time[0]. But there exists many other meters in most genres of music. Do you want fifteen beats in a measure with the eighth note getting the down beat? No problem!

In this video Harry does seem to do this on purpose as a little musical joke with the audience, and I’m sure that’s what the title refers to.

Background: I wanted to use Python to automate some web requests, replicating some XHRs made by a site. Safari Web Inspector will show you the details of the request, and even lets you "Copy as cURL," but it was time consuming to write the corresponding Python code.

So I took the opportunity to learn a little bit of React, and wrote a simple tool to convert curl command line arguments to Python Requests. It covers only a small subset of curl options at this point, but the code should allow new ones to be added easily. The structure lets me to independently work on the parsing frontend or code generation backend, so I was able to easily add the ability to parse raw HTTP requests as well.

Someone pointed out that there is also the curl-to-Go tool which does the same thing for translating curl commands to Go code. https://mholt.github.io/curl-to-go/

Of course it makes sense to think about the ways in which specific technological choices and designs may have negatively affected the chances of success. I'm sure Tim Berners-Lee has done a lot of thinking.

&& precedence mans that the && arguments are bound first, so:

.where(p -> p.getCategory == 2 || p.getCategory == 5 && isProductUnderDiscount(p))

is equivalent to:

if (product.getCategory() == 2 || ( product.getCategory() == 5 && isProductUnderDiscount(product) );

The extra set of parentheses are not needed due to precedence, but have been included for clarification.
A lot of places have something like this.

For example, the Netherlands has no capital gains tax or dividend tax, but it has a tax of roughly 1% - 1.5% of your net assets. So if you have a $300k investment property, it's taxed like that annually.

But, your own home is exempted. It's not considered part of your net assets.

> This one is hard for me, as there is likely no way I’d have gotten into CMU if I didn’t schedule an interview, basically say it was my dream school, and apply early ...

To generalize, what you are so honestly saying is something that often obstructs change: People with power are vested in the current system: They are the successful outcomes (the unsuccessful don't have power), so they believe in the system and instinctively don't want to undermine their self-image as deserving (i.e., that they didn't have an unfair advantage). They also don't want to undermine their own power, but that doesn't apply as much here.

> I have zero interest in litigating the value of diversity; if that had to be explained here then you’re too ideologically gone for either of our time spent to be useful.

The other side believes they can persuade people and have succeeded at an unexpected level. People and opinions change; look at views of women in college and the workforce; even your views on diversity (which I share) were probably unheard of a few generations ago, but people worked hard to change that. What will we bequeath on the next generation?
