I really like this idea of composing selectable attributes as schemas (ala RDF). I've been fairly reluctant in adopting specs into my own code, mostly because in a lot of cases I just didn't see the benefit (not for the things I typically do, not saying I wasn't interested in generative testing and the likes ... those still seem very promising but also hard to get right). Especially, when dealing with "distributed" things (like the world wide web, where everything is maybe and only some things useful). And, RDF got this surprisingly right. I was sort-of half expecting him to also introduce PROLOG into it, but maybe next time. The idea of collections of subject-predicate-object statements forming an isomorphism with graphs, and sets of these statements form concrete "aggregates" plays extremely well with the idea of unification through search.

Somewhat tangentially, it also keeps reminding me somehow of Alfred North Whitehead's concepts of reality as process flows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_North_Whitehead#Whitehe...

"In summary, Whitehead rejects the idea of separate and unchanging bits of matter as the most basic building blocks of reality, in favor of the idea of reality as interrelated events in process. He conceives of reality as composed of processes of dynamic "becoming" rather than static "being", emphasizing that all physical things change and evolve, and that changeless "essences" such as matter are mere abstractions from the interrelated events that are the final real things that make up the world."
>fly up to space, take someone else's satellite and bring it home

Except the only country with satellites we would really want to do that to was the USSR, and how many SS launches would the US get to do if there was a nuclear war going on(with Cape Canaveral as one of the first targets)?
Suppose you are studying a legacy codebase, one left to you with no documentation. You and your colleagues are by definition the only ones working on it, becuase you call anyone who is working on it a colleague. You are only 1/4th done by LOC, but it's not clear what fraction of the remaining lines are autogenerated getters and setters vs real code. Clearly anyone interested in the codebase should talk to your team.

I should also mention that the 1/4th number is comparable to a "by weight" estimate, but what physicists study is the laws of physics which are not measured in that way. Nobody on Earth knows how much physics there is left to discover or if that is even a well formed question.
Part of the issue with that is that our documentation search isn’t unified. It’s gonna take a lot of work for that to happen.

is there some website along the lines of "things you learned in <= freshman university science class that has been updated"?
This is a phase Europe went through as well - many of the great Medieval and Renaissance cathedrals were badly damaged by the pollution of industrialization, and had to be restored after pollution got under control. Luckily, that seems to have worked out (at great expense), and was a major rallying symbol for the environmentalist movement.
Just... thank you. Truly.
Videos are good for me to get a conceptual overview, when I actually start on a project, I’ll read docs and a getting started guide. I can watch a video while I’m working out in front of my TV. There are AppleTV apps for Udemy, Pluralsight, etc.
I agree with all that and I'm still confused to why the original commenter suggests my interpretation is incorrect to how I phrased chaos.
"In political science" - they assert this is science.

This is how they decide what to test:

"In formulating hypotheses, we draw from several theoretical traditions. The majority of our hypotheses flow from the nature of the content shared across dystopian narratives. We take each theoretical tradition in turn."

This appears to describe the difference between fact and fantasy:

"Scholars in the narrative persuasion tradition distinguish narrative from rhetorical persuasion, where the latter is characterized by advocacy of a position through arguments, reasoning, and evidence (e.g., newspaper editorials and political speeches). By contrast, narrative persuasion involves attitude change driven by cognitive and emotional engagement with a story."

This is experiment three:

"Finally, we test two key folk hypotheses, loosely connected to cultivation theory."

Science is hard:

"Yet an experimental manipulation involving an entire story narrative can be difficult to unpack and interpret."

Overall, I found this paper hard to read (to be fair, I'm not used to seeing this style of thing but I have put some effort in - I read it!) and rather vapid.
I just want to say that if and if not you're the PR guy for rust, you're doing a great job.

Rust is a well thought language and while I don't agree with the redesign, I like that you bring the thoughtfulness to the non-language component as well.

I enjoy your blog posts.

Only in the traditional publishing world. Readers, especially genre readers on Kindle, do not care about the publisher, agent, or the industry trappings, they only want good stories. The situation is analagous to iphone or steam indie games: if you work hard and are persistent and can overcome the problem of visibility, you can find an audience and make a living. Some make six figures or more just on Kindle.

But you have a job, you don't need to do that. You can write part-time, focus on short stories, get a better idea of where your current ability level is, decide if it's a hobby you do want to pursue and to what extent, join critique groups, and then try to get published in short fiction markets. Short form lets you complete something, have it evaluated, withoug having sunk multiple years into a single manuscript.

The last thing an aspiring writer with a full-time job should do is get emotionally invested in a single novel that takes years to finish and never goes anywhere because they never learned to write fiction properly in the first place.
Or to put it another way that will strike accord with a different audience. At what point do I stop refactoring my code and say, "This is good enough"? When do I say, "I've achieved my goal and as imperfect as this is, I'm going to start concentrating on new things".

Optimising revenue is not desirable. Making enough revenue to achieve your goal is what is desirable. Once you've done that, you should concentrate on new goals. However, just like refactoring code, you may find that you need to go back and revisit something in the future. "Not now" does not necessarily mean "Not ever". It just means that I'm putting this aside until it makes business sense to do it.

To complicate things, though, just like programmers have to be the ones calling the shots about whether or not something needs to be refactored (they are the ones who have the required vision and experience to know), marketing people need to be the ones calling the shots about these kinds of things. If you don't trust your programmers to make appropriate decisions, then you have a huge problem. The same is true of marketing people.

Fixing that trust issue (either by placing your trust in the people, or replacing people who are not worthy of trust) is hyper difficult, though. It's one of the reasons organisations run around doing ineffective things instead of fixing this kind of root problem.
I've been wondering about that: A course that starts with TDD and builds the program/app from that, iterating on both sides.

I'm interested in TDD but didn't find a course/guide that would teach how to do it properly... Maybe I didn't search enough...

Can you recommend me anything like that? It doesn't have to be React related.
What if, like many products, it's made in multiple factories?
So is this like exploring the web via a browser using hateoas & mime types? But instead exploring edn on rebl using clojure's 'new' data protocols? Feels old hat... But anything to shine a light on data oriented programming (and clojure sure is beautiful)
What’s “bad” about CodeBuild? Its basically just a yml file with bash commands and a section to specify artifacts.
I don't think Steve got Discord and Discourse mixed up. I did suggest that people who won't get on IRC could use Discourse instead, but Steve rightly pointed out that they're different.

Maybe Gitter instead of Discord? After GitLab acquired Gitter, they open-sourced it.
I use them to orchestrated processes that take longer than 15 minutes.

As far as cost, an edict came down from on high not to use any more EC2 instances for custom jobs without a very good reason. We are much more concerned about reducing the amount of time we deal with servers (and the dependence on hiring people to do it) than we are with infrastructure costs.
Most of the things I bother with price matching on will require some sort of human interaction in a store to get anyway. Large items, expensive items, etc.

It typically takes me less than a minute to validate price on an item like this while in-store and inform the person I'm talking to. Response time from there can vary a bit but at my local MicroCenter it takes them less than a minute to do a quick confirmation of their own, then mark and sign a sticker. That's it. But nobody at any store has ever asked me to beg or made it feel like it's begging to ask for a price-match.

Once, those 2 minutes saved me $800 when I was buying two monitors. The $999 MSRP to knocked down to $599 due to a sale at a competitor. There was no negotiation. The sales guy just blinked in surprise for a second when confirming it and said "Yeah, we can match that." To be fair, for this purchase I knew their price and their competitor's before showing up because I checked out their inventory on their website.

Yes, it would have been cool if they tracked their competitors' prices and automatically updated their own price (and had employees adjust the corresponding in-store price tags at every store) each time any of their competitors had a sale or lower price.

Frankly, though, that burden is not on the store selling the product. They probably would go out of business doing something like that without a huge competitor-matching supply chain behind them that can support universally thin margins. As a consumer, if I want the best possible price then I need to be willing to waggle my thumb across my phone at least a little bit to look for it.
The effect of support for women in tech is too often to hand resources to people who are already very privileged. A recent example is a reception held for women in CS from Stanford, to help them have more equal access to careers in technology.

Correcting historical injustice is important and necessary, but to do so through the courts is at variance with a basic principle of human rights: that we are considered as individuals before the law, not as members of one or another group (always one of many possible groups).
Tell me, how do stimulants make someone more compliant? Why is it that when someone comes to the hospital in an agitated state, they aren’t given adderall? Why isn’t ritalin given before surgery? Why are people with schizophrenia given antipsychotics instead of vyvanse? This type of attitude is as ridiculous as it is cynical.

People act as if the idea of a Ritalin zombie is the goal for ADHD medication. It’s not. I’m not going to deny that stimulants do make some people lethargic, but that’s the exception, not the rule.

Do you want to know what it’s like to take medication for ADHD? For the first time in my life I can make choices. I can choose to clean up my desk without something deep inside me rising up to stop me. I can sit down and read a book and not feel the tensions building up inside me until it feels like a rubber band about to snap. I can wait at a restaurant without feeling the need for stimulation itch over me. My mind no longer jumps from idea to idea until I get lost in my own head. I can speak without stumbling over words because my mind is three sentences ahead. I can read a paragraph and actually remember what I just read.

The notion that I’m just some lobotomized zombie shuffling to the strings of my corporate masters is frankly insulting to everyone that struggles to live a normal life with ADHD.
With regards to positive selective pressure, there's also the even simpler explanation that ADHD correlates with a greater number of sexual partners, early parenthood, etc.

Loved the old SPG. By far the best perk was getting 1 point per dollar, then being able to transfer that to almost every airline. American was 20K points for 25K miles. International Business class tickets would be around 120K miles round trip, so $100K spend for $5K plane tickets (5% return). Back in the day american used to count all miles towards the 2M mile club (lifetime platinum), so I was able enter it mainly using credit card earned miles.

Hotel stays were often times 12K points for a $400/night hotel in maui (3.3% return).

When they converted SPG to marriott they did it at a 1spg:3marriott conversion rate, but ongoing only earns at a $1:2 point rate. The card is a significantly worse value.
> There are plenty of direct-to-consumer brands now thriving with around 50% to 60% gross margins, i.e., selling at 2x-3x COGS

Mature ones, sure. Unless you plan on financing growth pretty much exclusively out of the middle of your cash flow statement, however, you'll need a wider margin as an upstart.
> Stanford economist John Pencanvel reviewed World War I-era factory data and more recent literature to conclude that exceeding 50 hours in a week leads to diminishing returns

Applicability questionable.

> exceeding 50 hours in a week ... may actually reduce output

> But Musk is smart. He’s not talking about that kind of efficiency. He’s talking about m[in]imizing what he, the man with $24 billion, spends on his own workforce.... [so he'll] try to draw extra work out of you

Extra work doesn't make him richer if it results in reduced output. The arguments here are in internal tension.
Because they are separate ideas and not all of them are dependent on one another. Money and/or markets can (and did) exist without capitalism.

The point is not to throw the baby out with the bath water.
So, the marble is deteriorating because of acid rain, I presume? At least it hasn't been looted like so many wonders of the world. I imagine the pyramids must have been breathtaking with their original sheathing.

Well, it may be that you're not ageist. You may instead be anti-natalist. If we were talking about a 20-year-old having a kid, you might go on about how they don't have the maturity necessary to take on such a responsibility. And of course it's obvious that you shouldn't have kids if you haven't achieved an upper-middle-class level of financial stability. Then there is the matter of genetics. Do you have ancestors who died of Alzheimer's disease, cancer, or heart disease? Those all have a genetic risk component. Do you want to pass on such genes to your kids?

The fact is that every kid comes into the world with some advantages and some disadvantages. Any disadvantages from having an older parent are at most on a par with the disadvantages from not having particularly wealthy parents, or not having parents with perfect genes, or having parents who were abused by their own parents, or having parents who aren't citizens of a first-world country, and so on and so on.

Do you know of any resources that discusses the mathematics behind the problems in depth? I've found a mishmash but nothing official or consistently well reasoned/discussed.
I loved MyWot! I was one of the earlier users around ~2007 until 2009 or so. It helped teach intuition on sketchy, dangerous, and bloated web pages. The community was small and plenty of sites were unrated, though a surprising number still had ratings (and I was fairly active myself).

To answer your question, privacy addons started selling our data. I remember Adblock Plus added "Acceptable Ads" around 2012. MyWot redesigned in 2013. Times were changing. Surely enough in 2016 they were found selling sensitive user data. It's not like this was a surprise, since it's the reason I left years ago.

These days, I'd rather reduce my browser dependency. I hope the community finds a way to filter the 1% of useful data on the internet into like a .txt file, or something that doesn't make me solve puzzles to grep.
Google workers talking about a strike over company's handling of censored search
Not the OP, but I found that PT has too much friction to create a task. Trello is much easier -- just type and press enter, then type another task and press enter, without even touching the mouse. I found that the friction of PT made me remember things in a mental TODO list, or Google Keep, or Inbox. Maybe it's not rational or "correct" but when tools have friction, we seek out simpler alternatives even if we know we're not supposed to do that.

The other problem with PT is that it promotes a bottom-up view of your project rather than a top-down view. You end up missing the forest for the trees. With Trello, I can create a list for a high-level goal like "Validate that users want the features we're building" and then list sub-tasks within that.

It makes me wonder what role overstimulation at home plays in diagnosis when kids are dropped into an environment where they must abide by certain structure. I am not qualified to comment on the disorder itself but part of me thinks kids are exposed to vastly different environments today than they were for example 20 years ago. At home you have all sorts of things - devices and increasingly complex games & toys that stimulate the mind, and when you're put into a school environment, you're supposed to all of a sudden conform into that "sit still and learn" mold? To what degree is this accounted for in the diagnosis? I grew up in a totally different time where stimulation was somewhat consistent from home to school, but I can't even imagine what kids are dealing with these days when they are exposed to high tech devices, games that interact on a whole new level than they have before, liberal parenting to controlled environments - that must count for something?

For all the talk of wanting to stick it to the rich SALT is what the Democrats are going after. When the Democrats are in a position to write their own tax bill, there will be 3 times as many brackets, the top bracket will be 90% and - as a "compromise" they'll bring back SALT.
There’s also the tribal knowledge that you spend the last 10% of the time on 90% of the project. Perhaps every hour after 40 is diminishing, but required to achieve your goal. Could be true, could be a fallacy, but just saying that after a certain point you get diminishing returns maybe misses something either way.
From my experience people who lack basic computer skills don't have them because they don't want them and trying to teach them would be a waste of time.

I've noticed this with my own parents and even some friends (who use a computer at work on a daily basis albeit for very simple tasks).

Some people just don't want to invest a little time & effort to learn how to better use their tools. I don't know if it's laziness, or fear, or something else, but there's nothing you can do to force them.

All the resources have always been there should people want to learn. The only people left in this situation are those that don't want to learn.

Instead of trying to teach them, how about making it so there's less stuff to teach by getting them an easier to use machine like an iPad? My parents swear by it and I haven't had a tech support call in ages.
Asserting that "sprawly apartments" have the same cost as SFH is not compelling unless backed up by TCO figures, since it runs up against the metric of "geometric efficiency". If I have more destinations nearby, I spend less on all forms of transit, which compensates for rent and utilities costs. And if my neighborhood is denser on average, then I have more walkable destinations, subject to zoning law, and each destination in turn sees a better return on infrastructural investment.

Urban streets in Japan tend to blend together because they allow commercial uses throughout - you can wander a single neighborhood for days and not see every storefront. It's not just the transit. There's a built-in bias towards density there that is not present in US suburbs, which are largely motivated to build big box retail and office parks instead of houses because they are bigger moneymakers. We are setting a market equilibrium by law.

China Accelerates Cyberspying Efforts to Obtain U.S. Technology
I've read this multiple times, and I'm sure it's an intuive argument. Is it actually true though?
The big number of mitocondrias inherited form the mother and the small number of mitocondrias inherited form the father don't mix to become a single time of average mitochondria. Each mitochondria lives happily independently, and each one reproduces by asexual division making a copy of its genome.

Even if you assume that the 100% of the mitochondria comes from the mother, there are well known cases of mother that have a mix of normal and defective mitochondria and the children have a similar mix of normal and defective mitochondria. In this case the variation of the proportion of the normal and defective mitochondria between the mother and the children can cause that some of them get a worse version of a desease.

Yeah, you’re still not getting it. Nevermind.

For starters, read up on manufacturer incentives to dealers, and dealer holdback. The manufacturer has margin that the dealer cannot access, and the customer cannot negotiate with the manufacturer. Hidden incentives change monthly, and they are provided to the dealer separately for loan, lease, and cash. Knowledge of your own budget never matters when you always have the dealer’s numbers (easy to obtain with some research), BATNA, and competition.

You’re making a lot of assumptions that seem logical to someone unfamiliar with the business, but don’t hold true because these assumptions are either wrong or missing critical information.
Display latency sucks, but I'm a little sympathetic in the particular case of rhythm games, which can have timing windows as small as 15 milliseconds (e.g. for a "Marvelous" in Dance Dance Revolution).

For comparison, for Virtual Reality ≤ 20 milliseconds is usually considered the target latency.

And Playstation 2 developers couldn't have predicted how display technology would change.
I'm pointing out the humor in the fact that the tables have turned on physicsts that do what the author is doing, because now someone is doing it to them.
I like the design of Haxe front page: https://haxe.org

It explains both what it is and how it can be used, with a simple (but not oversimplified) presentation. It has a code sample too.

It's better to keep the the code sample on the Rust site as well.
