Yes, some police and other authorities were not at all restrained from extremes of violence. But national mass media comprehensively reported civil rights protests. Although I'm sure that there was some censorship in local media. And it didn't take long for the federal government to intervene.

Your sense of how the Civil Rights movement went is... interesting. It isn’t accurate though, and seems oddly idealized. Here’s the reality.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_civil_rights...

For some context, the movement really kicked off in 1954, the famous bus boycott wouldn’t occur for another two years, after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in late 1955, shortly after Emmett Till was murdered. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr wouldn’t give his famous speech in Washington for eight more years, in 1963, the same year Dr. King was arrested again earlier that year. The same year that George Wallace, “Calls for "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever" in his inaugural address.”

So no, it didn’t go quite how you think it did. “Some censorship” and “some police and other authorities,” while technically correct understates the reality. Whole regions and their entire governments fought tooth and nail, ultimately requiring the deployment of the national guard. Media helped to an extent, and the federal government acted in slow motion as it always does.

I think it may be selective memory. I suspect that the past had plenty of cocksure blowhards who were "often wrong but never uncertain". But a good fraction of the great minds had intellectual humility.

And it may be the same now. Hundreds of years from now, those who think "if it feels right it is right" will be forgotten, and humanity will remember a higher fraction of those who valued truth more than their own opinion or feeling.
I hope (but am not confident of it) that the article will encourage people to be more humble in their assertions.

Ugh, Reddit. Their amp version is terrible for the exact reason you mention. I know every time I see a Reddit page on Google results that I'll make two page loads instead of one (this does make a difference on my country, where everything is slow). Then, when accessing their pages on mobile browser, there's a huge banner telling me to download their app. In this same banner there is a dark UX pattern, where the call to action, giant button is to download the app, and the tiny footer text is "continue to mobile site". And apparently it doesn't matter I clicked through the banner before, it always displays the same annoying banner.

Sorry for the rant. I'm just genuinely disappointed in what the web has become.
>This is nonsense. You don’t have to do anything at all to program in a functional style in JS. You don’t need to use “this” and I can’t even imagine how using “this” would be helpful to that end.

This is a bit simplistic. There's more to the effects of depression lending to the inability -- or lack of desire -- to express one's feelings. Expressing feelings as a part of a healthy way of life isn't lost on folks with depression, it's just that the depression makes it so easy to avoid what is seemingly an undesirable situation. Things that don't make sense to an otherwise healthy mind make a lot of sense when you've got depression (or some other mental malady).

Now that GitHub has private repos for free accounts I use issues + ZenHub as a kanban board to organize things. This helps me get the ideas out of my head and organized in one place that I can search and filter and group into milestones.

Well, originally there was a IRC gateway for Slack. But at the end of the day, it just lessens the experience for everyone. I'm all for open protocols in theory, however I'm yet to see it go well since it only works if every platform implements every feature in almost the same way... and at that point, you might as well just use the same client.

Some of the benefits of Slack are things like:

- the rich integrations
- emoji responses + emoji statuses
- video calls that "just work"
- good search (for stored knowledge across a company)
- pinned messages
- notifications people are snoozed and the ability to force a notification

My thought was just that this doesn’t happen in a vacuum: their management should know that they’re not performing, irrespective of exactly how. I’ve seen some egregious examples (e.g. F500 online store which was down every morning from 5am to whenever the DBA rolled in, a dude who’d head to the bathroom at 9:30 with a coffee mug & the newspaper, someone who went out to lunch 10-3, regularly being VERY drunk, etc.), and in every case this was well known but there were reasons why nothing was done (members of the same frat, having an affair, being drinking buddies, too lazy to do the paperwork, being high enough in the management hierarchy that you’d have to explain not having acted before promoting then, etc.). So while I blame the person for taking a paycheck they weren’t earning, I attribute more blame to the people whose job it is to correct problems like that, especially since they’re paid more and given greater status and authority for [theoretically] improving the performance of the larger group.

This is primarily a cultural issue.

Taiwanese children are taught from day one how to sort recyclables. It is standard not only to sort properly, but also wash containers and decompose them into parts if they are made up of different materials.

Not only that but due to Japanese influence, reuse is a huge part of the culture already.

There's even a completely different conversation about how children are taught how to fold their trash and stack containers to minimize space use in trash.

Weird how if we take advantage of the neural nets we are born with what we can do...

But as you say original Bauhaus looks conventional because we judge it by modern standards.

Yes, mutation of containers is definitely a problem. The natural semantics in SSA is something like container' = F(container, key, value). But of course this functional semantics straightaway diverges from the physical realization we expect as programmers, namely not a new thing called container', but the original container whose state has changed.

SSA is terribly overworked. It was a great formulation for certain compiler problems. To my mind, the problem for which it was perfectly suited was value numbering. Doing it in SSA form made it not only fast, but gave it a deeper power, as it became possible to easily "reach back" to deeper levels of input to an expression. But for a reason that's unclear to me, it was pushed into all kinds of applications where it's much less obvious that it's a good choice. Treating it as a programming language (lol) is, I guess, kind of the limit of wishful thinking about its universality.
And yet, as I mentioned in my original post, I've been coding and using the shell etc. for decades and never ran into that problem in practice.

I would bet that more production time has been wasted on a global scale with discussions about and fiddling with font options than with a wrong l, I, 1, | in a place where it shouldn't be.

> We like to patent things and protect secrets.

This actually seems like a good opportunity to use patents. Something like "we integrate your patented idea in our open-source design as long as you agree in writing to give anyone interested a licence at reasonable terms as specified below". Of course this has to be done carefully but has the potential to finance research and promote the exchange of ideas (exactly what the patent system was originally conceived for).
If police announced that they were looking for a guy in an orange jacket, you could put on an orange jacket and run around town generating lots of false reports. But why would you do that? That would be incredibly antisocial.

As usual, the tech angle to this story doesn't make the story particularly novel, but some tech-oriented people seem to have trouble perceiving that. E.g. people commenting that MAC addresses aren't unique, as if other forms of police descriptions of suspects (like height, hair color, or clothing) are unique...
> it is not a fact that people with Down's Syndrome are happier than other groups.

This is a odd thing to assert so forcefully. Have you seen any studies supporting this? FWIW, [1] is a survey indicating that the Down's syndrome population (in America anyway) might be endowed with fantastically high levels of happiness, satisfaction, and self esteem. Here's a quote:

Nearly 99% of people with Down syndrome indicated that they were happy with their lives; 97% liked who they are; and 96% liked how they look. Nearly 99% people with Down syndrome expressed love for their families, and 97% liked their brothers and sisters. While 86% of people with Down syndrome felt they could make friends easily, those with difficulties mostly had isolating living situations. A small percentage expressed sadness about their life.

Call me crazy, but I suspect these numbers are far higher than what you'd get from a non-Downs population. It certainly seems like a reasonable and innocent bit of cheer for a doctor to offer to a new dad.

You're right... There are some powerful heuristics in environmentalism-- disposable is generally worse, plastics are bad, recycling is better for the environment...

But these will break in some special cases. We should avoid treating them as dogmas and be open minded when examining the entire lifecycle of products.

For example, styrofoam is so much less energy intensive than firing ceramics. Given the hot water used in rewashing, you can get some unexpected consequences where disposables are the better option.

https://sustainability.tufts.edu/wp-content/uploads/Comparat...

(That analysis is sensitive to how energy efficient your dishwasher is, and how durable the ceramic is.)

So imagine if even after we stop using petroleum, Texas finds a giant pool of easy oil next to abundant landfill space... Could be Texans should probably just use plastics and toss them in that situation.

New Yorkers might have a different calculus, because the cost of trash hauling and processing is more significant there.

It all depends.
1. Start with THE goal: what is the goal? Make sure it has a “why” that energizes and excites and inspires you, that imbues you with a transcendent vision of clarity.

2. Assume maximum responsibility for achieving this vision— expand your mind in a way that allows you to see the largest sphere of influence over your desired outcome. Often we think too small, and get stuck in the weeds. We wait for permission. Take responsibility. Act, and ask for forgiveness later. You alone are responsible for your dreams.

3. Practice daily meditative reflection— spend more time alone, in isolation, with yourself. Be still for long periods of time, let your mind open, and listen to what arrives, what presents itself to your mind. Pay attention to pain— discomforting thoughts and feelings are teachers pointing us where we need to go and what we need to do. Write down these thoughts. Write them all down. List, connect, associate, outline. Let these thoughts illustrate that vision, and materialize it with every connecting realization.

4. Spend time organizing these thoughts. Prioritize. Distinguish the signal from the noise. Always keep the goal in mind— each idea should connect and justify the goal, the vision. Each of these ideas should produce clarity. Create a plan, with goals, and steps for each goal.

5. Execute. Make the vision manifest through intentional activity. You alone are responsible. Do not depend on anyone. Learn what you need to learn. Partner with like minded people, who share similar visions.

6. Repeat this process daily.

What do you mean by 'second model'? Like a new version of the FreeStyle Libre?

I just got my first CGM, FreeStyle Libre 14 day, 2 days ago :) The relief I've already experienced from not having anxiety about where my blood sugar is at has been incredible. That said, being able to set alerts for lows/highs and not having to manually scan the sensor would be huge improvements.

The way I was checking blood sugar before (finger pricks) it seemed like I'd gain relatively little by using a pump, but now I'm thinking a pump may be indispensable if used in combination with a CGM: Since I can now see how my blood sugar is changing in near real-time, if I have errors in dose size, I'm going to want to be able to make small correction...
My favorite is that they've recently started animating their "Get the app" button in the header. That's both immediately on page load, _and_ on an interval as you're reading, meaning it's impossible to read for more than a minute or so without an animation distracting you.

Is it just me or has the mobile web taken a nosedive in recent years? Imgur won't even let you upload images from mobile anymore without their app, reddit is getting progressively more annoying, "Get the app" buttons and modals and banners are getting progressively more prominent and dark-pattern-y, and the default for all web pages now seems to be to include <meta name="viewport" conent="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> regardless of whether the developers actually tested that their web page works on small screens, meaning web pages which would've just fallen back to desktop emulation mode in the past just simply don't work at all.

Many things become more intuitive after you've been exposed to quantum mechanics, but that's trading one learning curve for another one (and a significantly steeper, albeit more generalizable one). If you already have familiarity with quantum mechanics then what you're explaining is useful. But if you don't, it's probably not a practical or efficient use of time to work through elementary QM first :)
