Software Foundations: intro into mathematical underpinnings of reliable software
Does anyone remember, there was a link posted here a few weeks ago to a DAG of math knowledge?
I'm not sure if you're aware of the circumstances surrounding the fiasco, so I'm going to recap the timeline here:

WWDC 2015: Apple allows for sideloading apps through Xcode without a paid developer program account.

~November 10, 2015: f.lux releases their product for sideloading on iOS (it was previously only available for jailbroken devices) as an Xcode project that ran scripts to install a opaque binary.

~November 12, 2015: f.lux receives a notice from Apple to stop distributing f.lux in this manner.

~2016: Apple restricts the users not enrolled in the developer program to sideloading just three apps, and only for seven days, without requiring a resign.

So, as you can see, f.lux basically put in extra effort to make sure their code was not distributed with their binary release, and this made Apple get mad at them–so much so that they significantly curtailed the sideloading abilities of the free developer program. Note that there was no issue here of using private APIs–there are already a couple open source apps performing similar functionality with a large number of users that Apple had turned a blind eye to. The issue was that this was being used to load uninspectible code onto users' devices, which sooner or later may have led to a bunch of users installing malware.

The many deaths of liberalism
As someone who has come quite close to reversing their T2D, I will say that as I've lowered my a1c (the main measure of diabetes) and dropped from 3 drugs to 1, I've noticed two things from blood sugar monitoring: not only have overall sugars gone down drastically, but the time to recover from "cheating" has greatly decreased as well. When I was at my worst, I couldn't even eat a piece of fruit without a huge sugar spike. After 3 years on a lower carb, calorie constrained diet (~130g carb/day and ~1900 calories), combined with some exercise, I can now eat an occasional small piece of cake or the like without a huge concern. My sugar will spike for an hour or two, but then normalize. Before i might be high for almost a day before I'd drop back to my baseline.

So it does improve, but it's unlikely to completely go away. In my case it's likely from improved insulin resistance.

To answer your question, I wouldn't say it "crashes" back. It's still a concern, but if it's controlled, you can eat some cake and cookies and you'll stabilize in a few days. It's when it's a long term habit, that it's uncontrollable (at least on my case study of one).
What percentage of users is that, assuming that you don't make parinfer the default choice in your IDE? What percentage of Cursive users knowingly say: I'm a bit confused by how these parens work (my guess: all lisp newcomers), what percentage goes to preferences to see what they can do about it (my educated guess: a lot, but less than, say, a third), and what percentage of those conciously look for parinfer (I don't know - I'm asking)?

Now, Cursive is used by something like a third of Clojure users. Half of them use Emacs, and in Emacs land there are rather few Clojurians who seek something like parinfer. Even when they do, it's a usual "how we can make this more palatable to outsiders" type of quest rather than "I'm really frustrated by how Emacs does Lisp editing. I'd like something like parinfer"...

For what it's worth, visa-free travel is not really a privilege extended by a country, but an expression of their degree of trust.

Many European countries accept U.S. travellers without any additional filings because they trust U.S. passport holders, generally speaking (except the ones they have files on, in which case they'll already be following that up when you get there). The U.S. does not necessarily trust Swedish passport holders in the same way that Sweden trusts U.S. passport holders.

I wasn't talking about the situation at all, I was talking about the statement of "if you can't articulate it, it isn't happening". That statement is incorrect. None of what you've written changes that, because it's not really dealing with that statement.

So I'm not really sure how your post got directed at mine to begin with...

> While I agree with you that people who abuse often are more skilled in avoiding blame than the victim, I would like you to consider the likelihood that there is abuse going on to begin with (i.e. what is the base rate of abuse?). I don't have hard data, but my experience is that it much more likely that the one claiming disrespect is misreading signals.

There's quite a lot of data on the subject, though. For example, on domestic abuse[0], which is a major problem in some countries. Uncommon is not what I would call it, depending on demographic. I'm not sure why personal experience would at all be helpful with assessing the commonality of abuse, since it's something that's likely to cluster (i.e., people who were abused get abused repeatedly). And, of course, abusers wouldn't want anyone to think it's common.

> In the communications resources/books I have encountered, however, the burden is still on this person to articulate it (and they have advice and templates on how to go about it).

In the resources/books I've encountered, such as Why does he do that, if you are in an abusive situation, it's often a bad idea to try to articulate anything to your abuser because the abuser is already very aware as to what it is they're doing and your best option is actually to get out. The same is basically true for, say, narcissistic parents.

It's basically a question of how severe the case is. If you are dealing with a simple miscommunication, then your methods may work. But that's very different from what I'm talking about. If you're dealing with targeted abuse, your best preparation is knowing how to tell apart abuse, and disbelieving your own feelings is not really a good path. These are very different situations and they cannot be addressed with one approach.

A given situation with no context is an either or. But the point is, the person in that situation being able to articulate something is not relevant, and focusing on that too much may lead you to the opposite of a correct conclusion, if you are interested in being accurate at all. I.e., if you see a calm and collected husband and a wife who seems hysterical, things may not be as simple as they look, and generally judging domestic situations from the outside is thorny. The book I mentioned above goes into things like this in great detail with many examples.

> Saying "I felt disrespected" or "I felt cheated" or "I felt ignored" are simply stating your hypothesis - none of these are feelings.

I'm not sure since when these are not feelings? I think what you were going for is "you disrespected me", which is the hypothesis, but a person can absolutely feel disrespected.

I have no inside information on the following... but an effective explosive trace detection screen would go like this.

First, it would be random, with no profiling. Profiling gets defeated by shaving, change of clothing, etc. Random selection can't be defeated.

I would make it resistant to implicit profiling from the operators by saying "wear a watch, every time the seconds reach 0 you select the next person for screening."

Then, I would make it hard to dodge being selected by varying pace through screening, with a rule that "at the selection time you pick the next person through the metal detector, without giving passengers any indication that you've picked, and wait for your selectee who gets screened no matter how much they dawdle or how long the X-ray search takes".

Next time you fly you'll observe that the ETD procedure at Australian airports is consistent with this theoretical design.
I've trained myself (and reworked my daily schedule) to stop using alarm clocks. Incidentally, next week will be 4 years since the last time I used one. And melatonin has been one of my main tools.

I've been thinking about the differences a lot, and the basic problem is a misunderstanding of what music is.

To a coder, music looks like a sequence of instructions that make sounds, so of course it's natural to assume that it's just like code. Music is a series of events, so let's write code that makes a series of events. How hard can it be?

To a musician, music is tactile, improvisatory, and sculpted. It's nothing like code. At all.

Even if you're using a DAW with a mouse, you're still shifting elements around in time and sculpting fine nuances of the the sound with controller curves.

So code is a terrible UI for music, and live code is even worse. You have to spend so much time on irrelevant distractions - creating buffers, managing objects, iterating through arrays - that there's almost no connection left between the sounds that are being made and your expressive intent.

So live coding only works if your expressive intent is trite and lacking nuance and depth. The only people who do it are hobby coders and a small community of academics who are trying to sell it as a valid revolutionary activity.

Interestingly trackers, which are by far the most successful coding environment for music, also have the lowest conceptual overhead.

While melatonin helped me, the results were inconsistent.

However, 10,000IU of vitamin D3 before 10am (see e.g. [0] for discussion and analysis that do NOT support my regime) seem to consistently give me a good reliable sleep schedule.

I was definitely not as thorough as Gwern, nor comparing to placebo - but for decades I have tried tens of different sleep aids, most of them useless, some working for a couple of weeks and then not, melatonin being inconsistent - with vitamin D feeling like a jackpot.

If you care to experiment, do your own reading on dosing - it should be adjusted down if you spend any time in the sun - but it should 25-50IU/lb of body weight, which is way higher than the FDA RDA. This is not medical advice. I am not a medical professional, nor do I play one on TV. YMMV. Proceed at your own risk.

This is really interesting. So far I've been looking for the widest gamut monitors as possible, but I guess it's not that simple.

D3 should be taken for small periods. Note that these supplements, do not make up for self-produced substances.

I would like to ask you if instead of using melatonin to enhance your sleep, did you try physical exercise. If your body is physically tired and you abstain from screens (iPads, iPhones, etc.) for 2h before sleeping, you should be able to get a decent amount of sleep.

Additionally, sleep quality doesn’t translate in hours. You could have a 5-hours sleep, where you reach the REM phase vs a 7-hour sleep where you don’t.

This is FALSE, small size do not explain Apple not publishing schematics, not selling parts, attempting to stop third parties to repair Apple products by sending them to justice etc.

This is oddly enough, a lie.

Read Sexual Sabotage by Judith Reissmann. It's a reframing of Kinseyism and the Sexual Revolution, showing that the sexual statistics on Adultry, Pre-Marital Sex, and Homosexuality which precipitated the Sexual Revolution, were colored by massive selection bias, and motivated by Kinsey's own rather perverse proclivities.

EDIT: I'm not calling you a liar. I'm just saying that the societal narrative that any of the things that you're suggesting were always prevalent is not so. Another book worth reading is A Generation of Sociopaths by Bruce Cannon Gibney. There are statistics on marriage and divorce between the Greatest Generation and the Boomers that are insane. The average GG partner count was 1; the average for Boomers was 15, and has been going down ever since.
