> But does this mean a different way of experiencing life?

it does mean.. "paying attention to different things in life". Culture and language are ying-and-yan, either one shapes the other.
Like, when same word means very different things, vs when there are plenty of words/constructs for some nuances that might be hard-to-differ for a foreigner. Whether the former means "we dont care about that", or just the opposite, "we do know that so well that it is obvious", i dont know..

You would think that computer science can't have replication failures, but it can. And I'm talking about my own field: machine learning. There is so much hype that I suspect that people are pushing papers and trying to actively hide the irrelevance of the methods and algorithms they develop.

Self employed = easier to start software company, yes.

But in the context of outsourcing, dropping a company ( which I summarized infrastructure with: "drop company"), hardware is a lot easier.

You do have a lot to do initially, but big companies have their "procedure". Follow the procedure and everything could be almost right initially.

Software projects can't expand like that "by the book".

Every extra ( new) employee on a project could even move the finish of it 6 months further.

But what treatment are you thinking of here? Ketamine? Maybe after more research, trials and long term tracking of patient outcomes it can become a front line treatment. For now there's a reason it's a treatment of last resort. It's use in this way is not as well understood as traditional drugs. Use as an anaesthetic is a one-off. As with most substances, chronic use carries more complications. There's potential for cardiovascular issues. Also cognitive issues like impairments in creating new memories, accessing old memories, verbal memory, forgetting words, names... It makes sense to attempt treatments with a lower risk profile first, not for legal liability but patient well being. In the meantime there already is an immediate treatment available for those at risk of self harm: short and medium term hospitalization, which allows for more rapid trials of different medications at higher doses because the patient is under regular monitoring. Yes it still sucks, it's a crappy experience, but it is effective in getting most people stable enough to wait for longer term treatments to reach peak effectiveness.

A lot of things in English are also named as to what they do, but they are disguised because we tend to use Greek and Latin. I remember when I was learning German I found it amusing that the Germans call a television "ein Fernseher" -- literally a far-seer. But then I thought about what television means! It's tele (far) + vision!
How was this done? I think of Twitter messages as something you can view in the app or browser. How can you send a message to the printer from there? Can someone please explain.
That much is obvious. But your link is to a different replication study. I want to know why there is an asterisk at the bottom of this article.
> I wouldnt mind my taxes creating a buffer for vulnerable people.

I would rather my tax dollars go to vulnerable people than to creating a buffer for often relatively wealthy older people so they can preserve their estates. End of life care is a fundamentally different issue than care for other people. I don’t want medical issues to bankrupt someone who has productive life ahead of them. At the same time, if we pay for end of life care for people who often have hundreds of thousands of dollars to their name, that’s less tax dollars we can spend on other things.

I have ADHD and I use to do this when I was younger.

I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was in 1st Grade. I was having a hard time learning to read, just moved to a new school, and was supposed to go into 2nd, but was held back because of my reading level. Once I was medicated I improved so much, I went from hating school to actually wanting to go and spend time with my friends. It also helped me to stay in control, it brought me down to a normal level.

It's really interesting that you used the story of him knocking something over. I can think of many times I have knocked something over or touched something and broke it. I remember when I smack myself or just break down. I did this when I was younger and yeah it's a feeling that will be hard for him to control. I felt like an idiot and that I ruined everything when it happened. Just build him up and let him know it is okay!

It's hard to make a recommendation but going to a neurologist and also seeing a therapist have been huge. That helped with the medication and diagnostic.

What has helped with everything is exercising and eating clean. There was an article posted recently that showed children's test scored improved by 10% (not positive on the 10 but it was enough) when they did cardio before tests. I know and feel totally different when I have exercised. It's hard to tell a child that they need to run or do some form of exercise, but getting them out and running around with them will do so much. Also not eating food with food coloring or sugar will be so helpful as well. It's simple but it is super key.

TL;DR: Go see a neurologist/Therapist. You don't need to medicate, and it's not the only solution, but it has helped me. Read as much as you can on ADHD. Exercise. (Scooters are hot right now)

My dad likes Frank’s work but it drives me nuts. We went to the Talliessen tour and that killed what begrudging respect I had left.

The man removed a load bearing wall from his sister’s house for pity’s sake. Others had to redo the work later when the house started to sag. Two of his students added a concrete lintel to a crooked wall to stop it from falling over.

His theories often created the sort of existential crisis (especially chronic water damage, one of my personal bugaboos) for the buildings that I find negligent. I get bristly about programmers who behave the same way. The beauty of their creation is what’s important, not the utility to the inhabitants.

As far as I’m concerned the man was a menace.

Usually I keep this opinion for off-the-rails software engineering meetings or anecdotes over beers, because I get that it’s not that popular, I’m kind of a downer for tearing down an inspirational figure. But shag carpet next to a goddamned pool was my tipping point. What the fuck.
Podcasts are audio/video files served via RSS, a podcast app needs to know how read RSS and how to play or open your player, what you propose is something different, you would have to embed those ads somehow and extra functionality but keep backwards compatibility, if you mark the ads then you make it easy to add a function to skip the ads, then the publishers will want to lock the format with DRM so you can't skip those ads, IMO your idea will ruin the experience

Yes. As a practitioner it’s very frustrating

I think the situation is pretty analogous to other area with replication crises like psychology and nutrition: local variables dominate. Just like our own body’s there’s a lot that just depends on the domain or the specifics of the problem being solved...

This has been my experience in a related field (information retrieval). There are trends and best practices, but the market and Impossible to recplicate overhyped academic research reinforce each other.
my most productive time writing games was using some proprietary scripting thing (dark basic), back when I didn't know how to do anything else

at some point this degraded into "learn C/C++/OpenGL/direct x", which were good learning experiences, but the goal of making a game degraded into making game engines, none of which I ever finished.
I don't think it's deliberately so, just that developing a solution requires scheduling and routing to cooperate. Normally they're considered by separate systems. As your execution pool expands, this problem becomes worse, not better.

On the other hand, their incentive to solve the problem is relatively weak vs an on-premise alternative.
Why is Google, a company with gross revenue of much more than that, not doing it at all?

Obviously, the Mozilla Corporation's only stake holder is the non-profit Mozilla Foundation, so they can't pay out much of their revenue to anyone other than their employees (and to those in wages that are comparable with the rest of the industry; they have to publish their finances for that), so they certainly can afford to spend more money on things like that, but they're still trying to avoid spending huge amounts of money on something that can be done just as well in 99% of cases at a fifth of the cost.

As far as I know, they have a system where at least two independent volunteers have to approve an extension and some employees will occasionally check up on things, too, and can revoke volunteers that make mistakes too often or are plain malicious.

So, most of the time, this system will fail on the side of things being disapproved that should have been approved. It will much less often be the case that for example malware will get approved (especially since they also have automated malware scans, which is something that Google has, too).
I think it's starting to be ruined by ad networks that insert automated ads at download time. Then creators ask for at least a dollar per episode on Patreon to avoid these and start locking away content at even higher price points.
Do you believe Github should preemptively filter content you are trying to git push? You're ok with me uploading all of your copyrighted photos to my GitHub page with the laws that exist today? Do you believe GitHub profits off of their popularity (driving more private repo and enterprise sales) built on a platform that allows users to upload copyrighted content? Is your answer going to be the same as the ones making judgements on GitHub while clutching this new legislation?
Yes, Gmail after the Inbox "experiment" is an example of Google doing the right thing. I'm just wondering why that strategy is so rare. Is it a new mode of thinking within Google? Did Google only recently manage to become 'un-flat' enough that there are people with high-level project-management expertise available to suggest something like a merger between two teams?
I think it's the general tendency of English to be "hieroglyphic", like Chinese. English spelling teaches this approach early on: some logic it there, but you can't rely on it and still have to memorize, not infer. Then memorizing names, instead of logically inferring / producing them, becomes natural.

Well, that assumes any of this is true. The press is happily repeating anything it hears from Erdogan, who has his own stake in this and who is no saint either.

Disclaimer: I might or might not agree with EU but I think I see the mechanism of action.

Now, the thought about "the EU attempting to regulate the internet" is rather myopic. EU is not initiating anything, the EU is simply continuing a process which was started long ago.

This is part of the same copyright enforcement continuum which ("long" ago) caused the US organization MPAA to work with the US government to exert political pressure on Sweden to shut down the The Pirate Bay (BitTorrent tracker).

The argument then was The Pirate Bay was helping people distribute copyright-protected content while getting money from this process.

Now, there are companies which do substantially the same thing: users upload copyright protected content to the service, the service disseminates the content back to users while the service is monetized e.g. with advertisements. In some cases the content is individual pictures, in some cases music tracks or albums or even entire movies.

Now, either this mechanism as a whole is OK or it is not OK. The EU is basically saying that the mechanism is not OK within EU regardless of whether the company is from USA or not.

If you observe this development over time, it has been about tightening of copyright enforcement everywhere. From that perspective it makes sense to tick-tock two of the biggest players in turn, to tighten the law in one, then make the other one follow.

I hope I'm wrong. Looking forward to see Mickey Mouse in public domain.

Oh, my mistake, I thought we were talking about the question linked by azhenley above.
Two things:

1) The PC software world did run for quite a few years on the model of predominantly commercial/proprietary software, most of it being closed-source, so it's not like it is some far-fetched idea that doesn't work in economic terms.

Personally, I prefer the commercial license/source-included model, with the emphasis on the author/company getting paid to ensure that the situations like the one described here are avoided. You can then have additional educational licenses for ensuring access to developer tools for educational purposes, but that's up to the author/company.

2) If you directly pay someone to write software, I would expect any such arrangement to include the source code as part of the work product, regardless of the ultimate visibility of the source code to outside parties.
For an audio based campaign I'd prefer a catchier and more memorable name than 'ahrefs'? Type that in slightly wrong and you get to a dead end pretty fast.

> Or maybe the screens would have retailed for something like $5000 each

That would be an insurmountable flaw, yes.
That has other costs. It allows people to buy or coerce votes by observing the target filling out and mailing their ballot, which is specifically prohibited at polling places. And it opens you up to an extra set of dirty tricks, e.g. stealing ballots from mailboxes on the day they're distributed. And it's effectively impossible to prevent people from mass producing forged ballots (e.g. by using serial numbers and then detecting non-issued serials or duplicates) while at the same time allowing the voter to be confident that no one is using that to correlate who they voted for with their identity.

You will just have to try a low carb diet for a week or so to experience the reduced "hunger". It is quite amazing to learn that half the feelings of hunger you feel are due to carbohydrate addiction. You may also experience withdrawal symptoms very similar to those of quitting smoking.
Go to iTalki (https://italki.com) like already mentioned and do a couple sessions with different teachers. These are mostly not professional language teachers so their rate is lower. They are native speakers all, usually college students, who are doing this for a side hustle. Some may even offer a free 30-min trial. The goal is to find someone who you like practicing with and has a teaching style that it is compatible with yours. For me, I just wanted to practice talking and some of these tutors had a whole formal lesson plan. If your goal is conversation, focusing on conversation is better than doing grammar lessons.

There is no substitute for practicing with a native speaker who will not become frustrated/impatient/annoyed with you (like a friend). At a minimum, do two one hour sessions a week. Three is better and five would be amazing (assuming two or three different tutors).

Change your listening habits. Start to listen to audio in your desired language. Music, even podcasts. You probably will not understand much to begin with and the goal is to start picking out sounds, syllables, and word and phrase boundaries. Eventually you will recognize connector words, short phrases. Keep with it. Ignore those who say you need 95% knowledge of the words being said to understand. Your goal is not to understand what is being said completely but to train your ear.

Eventually you will realize correct grammar is what makes you intermediate level. But no hurry, mistakes are how you learn.

Good luck! Be patient with yourself. Language learning is not an automatic process after childhood.
> In a Native American language of California called Atsugewi (now extinct), if a tree was burned and we found the ashes in a creek afterward, we would have said that soot w’oqhputíc’tainto the creek. W’oqhputíc’ta is a conglomeration of bits that mean “it moved like dirt, in a falling fashion, into liquid, and for real.” In English, we would just say “flowed.”

I realized something like that in English when translating. The word "slay" means, according to a basic dictionary, to kill (violently). But to an English speaker it means much more. I wouldn't say that a school shooter slayed the children, rather shot. The Boston bomber didn't slay the runners, but rather bombed. I would consider slaying to be an act done by a sword. But, in the case of a terrorist stabbing people, I would call that a stabbing, not staying. I would say that slaying is only appropriate if the sword attack was going across a body and not directly into, like with stabbing.
JS is haunted by its past, today we are almost there where we have been in 2011: on the one hand it has this perfect learning curve, being accessible for everybody who mastered basic computer usage but still offering a lot of advanced but optional features. At the same time it has this bad reputation of being unreliable and having bad documentation/code.

I think in 2012 a frameworks got popular that simplified the task of building JS apps that are as complex as apps in C++ or Java. Actually using these frameworks wasn't trivial when they came out. Now that's pretty easy but the deps are crazy. I wonder what happens next, maybe some super advanced package manager will come...

There are already focused platforms that do this, for example dynamically picking ads based on subscriber IP to give a local ad.

Kind of weird to hear a local car dealership ad in the middle of a popular national podcast.

Also, you have no control over the playing platform (it originally was MP3 players like iPods which have no internet connectivity), and little to no information on the subscribers except for their IP address retrieving a MP3 url (no browser involved), so standard "run ten tons of garbage javascript" tracking/monitoring to sell users as the product doesn't work (thankfully).
