True, but that doesn't mean the behaviors are not mutually exclusive.

For instance, there is a time in your life before you know how to code and there is a time where you think you know how to code and then have to interview. I call this "Not Yet Engineer".

There is then a time when you think you know how to code, but you lack discipline to execute within a team framework and a business context. I call this the "Junior Engineer" phase.

After Junior Engineer, you are useful and can build things. Once you have discipline and have knowledge, then are a "Practitioner Engineer". This, for many people, is a terminal state and some companies call this senior engineer. However, I have seen many people go from inflated titles to Software Engineer at Amazon.

Beyond Practitioner Engineer, the core aspect of being a "Senior Engineer" is the ability to lead one or two teams to build.

Principal Engineers then talk at an organization level and think of things beyond two teams. The focus here is on strategy rather than day to day execution.

Sadly, most companies don't understand the need for a parallel power structure to compete with management.

> To cancel Brexit you need leading politicians to admit they were stupid and form a positive narrative.

Which may not be possible. It's far easier, after a turnover of leadership, to say "they were stupid", than it is for a leader to admit, "we were stupid".

I'm not in the UK, and I'm not that current on UK politics, but I think there is a bare possibility that this could happen. It would take a no-confidence vote against May, though, and probably before March.
No, critics of the Bolsheviks, such as anarchists and left-wing communists, were warning against that since the revolution, and just a little time after people from other countries were doing the same, such as Emma Goldman in her article titled "There Is No Communism in Russia" from 1935.

Detroit is quintessentially the city that has the worst outcome from an economic boom. From 1940 through to about the mid 1960s the city the top, or near the top for household income, similar to SF now.

I love the assumption of the oppressed worker class mentality of some folks in the bubble. Not saying you are in the bubble necessarily, but there's been a lot unionizing and oh-the-poor-worker talk in this thread.

It's easy to forget what absolutely touched lives we developers have, even the grunts.

Anyhow, it is incumbent on every technical worker to find and establish their niche over time. If you get called a "unicorn" in whatever field you land in, you're in a good negotiating position for things like salary.

I love this writeup[1] of the kit artists at Bethesda for example.

> Of course, there’s another reason that Skyrim had only two full-time kit artists; kits are really complicated things to work on. Kits require not only the artistic ability to produce high quality visuals, but also a technical competency in their art tool, a deep understanding of the editor and design workflow, and so on. This unique blend of left and right brain is somewhat at odds with what many art professionals value. I've worked with great artists who make excellent kits but hate working on them - so they don't.

> So when you’re trying to identify somebody with the the aptitude and interest to be a great kit artist, you’re basically looking for a unicorn. They're rare.

And they better be paid accordingly so they don't bolt and start their own game studios! You get to negotiate if you're a unicorn.

If you're up for an additional dose of stupidity, consider the fact that London shuts down the Underground completely (with a few exceptions) every single night for maintenance and repairs. Every inch is inspected each 48 hours.

Why the MTA can't do this kills me and partially explains why people screamed bloody murder about a complete shutdown. The signaling system alone is held together by the equivalent of tape and chewing gum.

If I was in his shoes I would have just said, "Either deal with the loss of the L line, or agree to tolerate a less than 24/7/365 operating schedule." Alas, the L is the only line I know of which uses PTC, which is designed to alleviate some of these issues.

There is no third option.

Skyrim's Modular Approach to Level Design (2013)
These seem like good guidelines, although I would add that drivers should also be aware of other cars that may merge from the side, so you cannot depend entirely on the mirrors. This happens quite frequently in heavy traffic when folks are eager to take any space available
I'm not sure how the agreement between Tesla and its supercharger users is written, but if it's a contract, then there may be no need to get the police involved.

At one time I leased a very desirable parking space in what was a half-private, half-public lot. People would sometimes ignore the warning sign stating that the space was private parking only and violators would be towed.

When I would arrive in the lot and there was someone in my space, I just called any tow company in the phone book and they'd (very rapidly) send out a truck to remove the offending vehicle. All I had to do was sign the bottom of the form attesting that I was the legal user of that space.

This was Texas, so other states may vary.

> More optimistically, I believe the solution is for people to start seeking out the "critically underrated" ~3 star restaurants and start realizing that these supposed "trendy" places were never that great beyond their gimmick.

Here's how that plays out: if enough people start to do that, someone will start a system for sharing information to support them, the discovered places will become trendy and either crowded or expensive, rinse, and repeat (actually, you are already in that cycle—that’s how lots of trendy places happen now.) As long as the Bay Area is awash in money, the same process driving real estate prices through the roof is going to do the same thing to dining prices wherever there is quality except where obscurity creates hidden bargains. But to exploit that you'll need to spend more time than you'd spend waiting in line at known places finding the hidden gems, and then finding new ones as other people discover the one you've found and the obscurity you've been exploiting is replaced with visibility and success.

That's not what this is. This requires leaning your head all the way over and THEN only barely seeing the car. Then, when you sit straight up, you aren't even close to seeing the side of your own car.

For what it’s worth, it’s like that in much of the U.S. too— at least in my state (North Carolina), you’ll certainly fail the test if you change lanes without checking your blind spot.

Driving tests vary state to state, though. And I agree with you that overall, driver education in the U.S. is woeful. I didn’t even have to parallel park for mine! Meanwhile Scandinavians have to prove they can recover from a slide to even get a license.
This claim is unsupported:

> The machine, not smart enough to do the actual difficult job of converting these sophisticated image types to each other

Obviously it found an easy way to solve the problem it was given: stenography But could it have solved the problem the researchers intended, if they had framed it correctly? There's no evidence either way for this particular algorithm, but in general this is not hard. This is usually called style transfer and I don't see any reason to believe that standard techniques[1] wouldn't be able to solve the street-map-to-aerial-map problem. And it's pretty well established that adding a bit of noise[2] during training helps GANs avoid these kinds of problems.

2) Google "making frogs gay" (I get 4.9m hits)

I'm pretty sure this means Alex Jones did a better job of informing humanity that atrazine might be a problem than the NYT or any other news organization. I'm assuming Alex Jones is the source, or at least the main popularizer of the meme "making frogs gay." I could be wrong about that, and maybe it was someone else! Or maybe everything Alex Jones does is bad. But it looks like he raised an important issue and effectively put it into people's brains.
This. There was a paper published recently[1], and a writeup in Nature[2] about it, which tested 60 different suppliers of graphene and found virtually all of them were junk and didn't match the ISO definition of graphene (i.e. 10 or fewer layers of atoms).

Let me start by saying that it is great to see how you deal with the feedback you get, this is not an easy feat.

Some more preliminaries: When I write a comment on HN, I first ask myself: what is the message I want to send to potential readers? And then I put some effort into expressing it as good as I can. After reading your comment, I had a hard time identifying any message, and I think the reason is that you employed the method of giving us your raw thoughts without considering which message you would like to send. When I first read your comment, I didn't even bother to dig deep enough to decipher the content; if you don't spend effort in writing, why should I spend so much effort in reading? Now, after having watched the first video and read your comment five times, I understand the structure, but still only fragments of the content.

Let me give one example what I think you could explain, based on the partial understanding I gained: it seems that you consider it very important for people to capture and communicate their thoughts 'unfiltered', as they happen. If you could relate that to Wittgenstein's philosophy, that would be an on-topic comment. (I am not very familiar with Wittgensteins philosophy and don't see how that would obviously follow from his philosophy, maybe Wittgenstein experts immediately see it).

I see the dilemma you are in: you want to exemplify the style, and I ask you for something which is impossible to do in this style: polishing and refining a message until it is easy to read and understand. However, I also would say that your experiment - convincing the reader by exemplifying the approach - has failed, so it seems you anyway need to reconsider your approach.

Finally - and I hope it doesn't come over as patronizing - I think only few exceptional people have such clear thoughts that conveying them without any editing is a win for a large readership. I know for sure that my thoughts are initially much too chaotic. Maybe Wittgenstein was able to do it. You and me are far away from that level.

Turning your head is completely safe, with one caveat: Proper Following Distance.

A quick, over-the-shoulder check is not dangerous at all if a driver gives the car in front proper following distance. Too many people follow WAY too closely, especially at highway speeds.

Lastly, safe driving includes both actions. Step 1 is to check your mirrors (first rear, the side views). Step 2 is to quickly check over the shoulder. Step 3 is to make the maneuver.

As a motorcyclist, I have to be vastly more aware and defensive than cagers, because a little fender-bender for drivers means injury and even death for riders. It is hammered into you, at any motorcycle safety course (by Moto Police no less, who spend all day riding motorcycles, every day) that you should always check over your shoulder before making lane changes, turns, etc. This is always done after you have already checked your mirrors.
If it's not a huge reno, you could always do things yourself. I'm pretty scrawny and renovation-illiterate but I've manage to rent and use one of those huge ass insulation blowing machine from Home Depot before, and on top of saving money - despite having to rent a van - I got a better job done than most commercial contractors would do, because they are known to skimp on both material quantity and quality to minimize costs (source: I was redoing the insulation on top of two existing layers).
Absolutely. I remember noticing it in high school - the grooming of all my female friends who went to private schools vs those who went to public schools even. It's little things, but they add up quickly.

> In other news: driving test in the US is a complete joke.

Not in all places. It’s highly dependent on who’s proctoring the exam. Some tests are administered by police officers and those can be extremely strict. Other times you get seriously generous people, and that needs to be fixed. Someone I know was the last test of the day for a proctor and they drove over a curb on a turn and still passed. There were quite a few of us baffled by this.

Location also depends on what gets tested. Here in MA pretty much everything gets tested (turn types, merging, all forms of parking, etc) whereas some neighboring states don’t test parallel parking.

In the training program I was at, turning your head was repeatedly drilled-in in every driving/observation session. Making sure you mirrors were set up for optimal maximum coverage was also tested. There was no shortage of not-ending-well stories related to blind spots and not checking all sides repeatedly.
I honestly don't know, and I am considering inventing a platform so that I can express how I get feedback. I am definitely interested in feedback, but I also want to create an income stream from it.
I do like the notion of using a relay.

In 1999, JPL lost Mars Polar Lander, and didn't have telemetry to know why. One of the major lessons learned from this loss was to always have telemetry of Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL). This telemetry is usually provided by a relay. So despite the fact that we both like it, using relays is not new.

(See sec. 5.1 of [1]: "The omission of EDL telemetry was justifiable from a project perspective. However, the loss of MPL without yielding any clues as to the cause of the loss jeopardized the potential for success of future Mars landers. Therefore, the decision was not justifiable in the context of MPL as one element of the ongoing Mars exploration program.")

I like that they put it in an orbit about the Earth-Moon L2 point. I think it's the first such satellite there.

> If the GOP has such disdain for Trump, then why do traditional conservatives in Congress continue to support him?

Probably two reasons:

1) They fear his base, which can mount primary challenges to unseat them when they're open with their distain (see: Flake, Jeff).

2) Trump has been useful in allowing them to pursue much of their traditional agenda: tax cuts, deregulation, court picks, etc.
I was taught (in the Netherlands) to hold the door with your right hand while you release the latch with the left. The benefit is not only turning the torso to see cyclists, but also holding on to the door in case there's a gust of wind.

Well, the exact version she contends with has been posted in these comments as a reply to the criticism Hossenfelder raises. So if it is indeed a straw-man, then it is being used in by proponents of panpsychism the wild, and is thus indeed fair game.
In quantum physics and cosmology, "holographic" (and "projection", in this context) are related to the holographic principle, which is kind of like a Stokes' theorem for information-- it says that specifying the state of the universe on the boundary of a manifold is sufficient to completely specify the state inside.

If someone's read the full paper, maybe they can explain the other things-- this article is a bit too vague.
For paxos, this explains it very well (while you are likely to require multi-paxos): https://understandingpaxos.wordpress.com/

Edit: There is a great raft implementation in go (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd).
Every year something like 30,000 people are killed in car crashes in the US. Say the introduction of self-driving cars cuts that number in half and also say that of those 15,000 deaths, 2/3 of them are due to software or system errors, that's still progress, isn't it?
Irrational hatred would be my guess. Tesla may be seen by as the harbinger of radical backlash against the status quo of gasoline consumption, a status quo most represented by vehicles like trucks and SUVs.
The problem with "dog whistles" is that they can literally be seen in anything, and are a shortcut to labelling someone a racist without any proof, and therefore not engaging with their actual arguments.

It's particularly interesting in this case because the youtube link is Thomas Sowell speaking about the negative effects of Affirmative Action and he is a black American, would you say that he is dog whistling for racists?

Now onto the law itself, Affirmative Action is a racist policy as it advantages certain races over others, full stop. Recently asian students have brought a suit against Harvard (https://www.npr.org/2018/11/02/660734399/harvard-discriminat...), for their policies negatively effecting asian Americans. As a society we need to decide if we want to advantage some races over others. In my opinion it makes more sense to advantage people from poor backgrounds then it does based on race, as the black son or daughter of rich parents will have had more opportunities than the poor asian American. If you disagree with that I would love to understand why.

In addition, I fully agree that legacy admissions should be removed.
They're conflating people who hate Tesla as a company, and people who hate Tesla drivers. The nerds writing and sharing anti-Tesla stories are not driving huge pickups to block charging stations, and are 98% of the time supportive of electric cars.

Whereas Tesla drivers are probably seen as rich people from out-of-town in a lot of places (because they are rich people from out-of-town.)
Therefore, here’s a philosophical question - is a regulated market a free market?
It happens in smaller metro areas in the US; restaurants are notoriously marginal businesses in general, and the two basic success formulas for traditional full-service establishments seem to be “be completely full in a wide window around peak times—which tends to also mean have long waits at peak times” and “attract a very rich clientele and charge very high prices which don't require you to be constantly crowded to make a profit”.

There's also obviously the separate fast-food and fast-casual markets that focus on rapidly cycling customers with minimal delay and much lower service levels; they still try to be full as much as possible which still means queuing at peak times, but the queues tend to be shorter in time or just as deep (or deeper), and tend to involve actual physical, rather than merely logical, queues.

Direct quote.
For a physicist , the hard problem of consciousness sounds indeed crazy. It's a subjective argument (what it feels like) that presents itself as objective. Physicists believe that, if consciousness is some fundamental quantity, then it is subject to the laws of physics. E.g. if it is conserved, what is the fundamental symmetry linked with it? Science generally is objective, not feelings-based.

The problem with the physicist's approach is that the philosopher controls the goalposts (the language) and moves them to increasingly absurd distances, usually leading to desperation.

> Where she gets that definition from, I can't even begin to fathom.

That is literally what Chalmers says about it, that it 's a fundamental property (quantity) in the universe:

More likely, we will take experience itself as a fundamental feature of the world, alongside mass, charge, and space-time. If we take experience as fundamental, then we can go about the business of constructing a theory
of experience

> There's currently zero solid scientific evidence for any theory of consciousness

There is a lot of solid evidence about how to manipulate consciousness (in various definitions), how to predict it or suppress it.
