I would recommend if your problem is overplanning, how have you responded to spontaniety? e.g. Attending figure drawing sessions where you don't know who you'll be sketching and the distinct and sudden social change around viewing nakedness. Or roller blading or dancing or jazz, all of which hold spontaneity or the appearance of such as part of the enjoyment of the activity.

People are great: organizations are less so. Your HR buddy can cry while they kick you off campus, they're still kicking you off campus. Unless they're the board and CEO, it doesn't really matter that the people around you care for you and you care for them. You can see them at the bar afterwards, I suppose.
Lots of things that work aren't supported by scientific research (yet?). It's your choice not to use it, but to claim that something is bollocks probably means that you will never follow what most people tell you about lots of things (where are all the double-blind peer-reviewed studies about how to bake a good cake or write a good novel?).
Which academic sources would you recommend on this topic?

I've checked the sources from that book and they seem legit, including papers and articles[1]. Besides, the reviews of that book are very positive [2].

I really hated lifting weights for the first 30 years of my life, but I've come to enjoy it. Well, I mean, I still dislike doing it in the moment sometimes, but overall I enjoy it.

Aristotle said something like it's a shame to focus only on the mind, and not bring your body to its full potential. Modern psychology says exercise leads to greater sense of well-being.

This isn't a magic bullet that will make stressors go away. Those have to be dealt with as much as you can. But it's nice to focus on other things than work and this is something that I do outside of work and find helpful for the same reasons.

Like hanklazard mentioned, Sargon was banned, but this had ripples that effected a lot of non-controversial creators. People closed their accounts due to him being banned, and I remember Tim Pool (independent journalist) complaining that he lost around half of his patreons when this happened. He was pissed.

People have sway within organizations. Many decisions are at the discretion of one of many people. Having people on your side is important.

Working hard might not make you look good to "the company" but it can make you look good to your supervisor(s) which (except in the event of things like mass-layoffs) has a huge impact on how the company treats you.
Pipeline control certainly does effect caches. That's where the memory access being controlled goes. I mean, it's tempting to try to understand them as an orthogonal thing, but in fact memory hierarchies and CPU pipelines (and other stuff like store forward buffers) are tied at the hip and it's pointless to try to "understand" them in isolation.

At best it's an exercise in specification pedantry. The only reason instruction barriers, fences and serialization instructions seem to make sense in docs is that someone at the architecture sat down and wrote a memory and execution model that can be abstracted by whatever API it is they present to the user.

And someone doing performance or exploitation work at the level of the linked article really needs to understand that model, not the API. (Though you're absolutely right that this particular article seems to be a bit mixed up about both)
Blogging for business draws the following perks:
1. Boost SEO
2. Build good relationships among customer
3. Build trust from customer as you share expert information through blogs
4. Link to people with your niche or product
5. Create community of sharing for viral traffic and exponential market growth
Though blogging might be time consuming for other small business, but seeking out for help from blogger virtually can somehow ease this task yet one of the effective ways of boosting business.

Culture is often like that, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" seems to apply to a lot of things.

When you're overwhelmed by tech, constant notifications of any kind, advertisement everywhere (in real and digital life), mindless media consumption, work and wantrepreneur culture &c. I easily get why people want a break from that, weirdly enough it seems that we're easily attracted by extremes.
Well, based on my favorite subreddits, let's see:

/r/starcraft: doesn't have nearly as much good discussion as TeamLiquid, but TL's forums are not easy to trawl through. Great coverage of tournaments/announcements tho

/r/personalfinance: really great here, lot of professional financial experts drop knowledge bombs. I've improved my financial life oodles just reading through this.

/r/piano: lots of great/interesting posts, mostly people playing pieces or shots of their set-ups, not too much memery but people try a little bit. Quite a few better/more experienced players than I am to answer my Q's.

The main thing I hate is memes. They are very low effort, many of them are inside jokes/highly meta, and the humor is usually bargain-basement, not very funny. If you can avoid those subreddits where memery takes over, then you have a better experience IMO.
I think this stance tends to be too harsh. The company isn't your friend, but people can be. I've done personal favors for employers that have helped my career in major ways.
One thing I can’t figure out in hooks vs recompose is how to use them and avoid props drilling or even just basic wiring. One of the most glorious things about recompose is that the props are drilled/wired for you automatically. This turns out to be huge for me. I had so much tedious props drilling code that just went away with recompose. Anyone have any insight?
If I learned anything as a recruiter for 20 years it's that there are bad actors on all sides. Employers do sometimes rescind offers that could hurt job seekers. Candidates do accept offers and then not show up (counteroffer, better offer came late). Employees sometimes leave without giving notice. All of these things do happen.

But none of these things happen often enough to make it "a thing". This article is basically some anecdotes about things that have happened, but not any type of regular occurrence in most professional industries. A high school or college kid is thousands of times more likely to quit without giving notice than anyone in a professional environment.

If there is any takeaway in this article:

* Your loyalty must be to yourself and your career. The days of employers seeming to take care of employees are over other than some rare occasions. You must make career decisions strictly based on what is best for your career and earning potential (short and long term).

* Do your research - These companies that pull job offers on people probably have some history of doing it, and there are plenty of websites that offer horror stories. Ask around and do some research if the company you're speaking to doesn't have much reputation or credibility online or in the public domain.

* Be professional - Especially in tech, career fluidity is much more common now than it was even 15 years ago. 2-4 year stints at companies are the norm. What does this mean? It means that your potential network is exponentially bigger than it would be if tenures were 10-15 years and turnover was low - you are working with a larger number of peers over your career, and those peers are going on to work for many other companies. You work for a 50-person startup that collapses, and those employees maybe join 30 other firms. Now your reputation (good or bad) has reached 30 firms. Bad news spreads. Give proper notice and treat employers as you'd like to be treated - hopefully they will reciprocate.
I don't believe that's true. Looking at historic performance of BRK-A, it's out-performed the S&P 500 betwen pretty much any starting point and right now. The only exceptions I can see are midway through the '08-'09 financial crisis, where at times the S&P had sunken faster than BRK-A, leading to having a slightly larger recovery since.
You might by the same token say art is about selling ads or products. Some would say that's how art can get abused, others might even call it not art by definition because of that. (I'm not sure where I stand on that at all, but I think it's obvious to everyone that art is way more and way deeper than just fashionable things to sell product, even if you consider the things made just to sell product art, too)

I think the same about politics (in the context of democracies where people are equal when it comes to citizenship), that's no more about authority and allegiance than families are about alcoholism and beatings. Same for journalism and other things, the medical professions and even lawyers, and so on. Even if it was $cynical_thing for most or even all people, we simply are no longer aware of the meaning and what we lost. Even if it was "just" an honest aspiration.. I'm not saying politics or anything was ever perfect or super good, but it used to be much better than giving up on it. And at any rate, our losing it has no bearing on the thing we lost. That's still there, waiting to be rediscovered. Land doesn't disappear just because we drift out into the ocean and no longer see it. We may well perish, but it will not be for lack of land, just for lack of our vicinity and affinity to it. When all directions are the same, and nothing has real value, we might as well swim further out into the ocean.
I feel like every state should mandate accessible data similar to Taiwan's approach (https://data.cdc.gov.tw/en/). New York has a similar program but does not have the hackathon or incentives for people to use the data.
> Nazis, which is apparently a problem for OP

And unfortunately for many of his fellow Americans. Unlike many Europeans, where the Nazism horror actually took place, followed with Soviet/GDR dictatorship in Eastern Europe, the American culture never has had to suffer on their own space from the real life consequences of totally unrestricted "free speech", except for a couple hundred victims of right-wing terrorism.

The right to free speech actually originated in Europe ("I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"), but European societies adjusted their view after having to endure two devastating world wars. We do have the problem that the post-WW2 position "Nazism and xenophobia is evil and its supporters should be exiled from democratic discourse and society" is slowly tearing apart, but mostly it's still supported.

It's a fundamental difference in political culture and I am not sure if that can ever be solved. To my (European) view most if not all Americans see the right to "free speech" so held highly that even liberal organizations such as the ACLU keep on defending outright Nazis.
I'll be traveling from Ontario to Yosemite and back this summer in my Tacoma. I have exactly the same setup. It works.

I've been deeply interested in going nomadic full time for more than a decade, despite it only recently becoming a thing. Family, job obligations combined with a relatively low cost arrangement for living expenses finds me plunked down firmly.

If my wife and I split, god forbid, you'll find me on the road.

PS: Their are no construction standards for trailers/rv's. Their are built as cheaply as possible. I'd much rather do the van thing if only for the structural integrity.
Tales from the Tour Bus is a new show he's doing as well. It's hilarious and insightful.
What you are saying is that the experience you want now differs.

I wouldn't go back to live in Mali myself. I've done it. Enjoyed it. Now I like my life malaria and war free.

My answer is not some romantic vision of the bohemian life style. Simply an explanation that the question of the toilets doesn't make sense: you don't look for vans if it's important to you. Like you said, you rather choose a trailer. You would not go on the specific type of trip that requires a van anyway.

I edited my previous post from "you are not the type of person" to "you are not in the state of mind". After all, it doesn't define you as a person but rather, reflect your current expectations of life.
In cutting-edge domains, a lot of that won't be written down, so ungooglable by definition.

For example, in deep learning research, good labs were using good initialization functions before somebody bothered to write a research paper explaining why it was good idea. If you didn't work in one of those good labs and so were never told to do that, you would just struggle and say "yeah these deep nets suck they don't even converge".
Maybe, maybe not (I know I didn't have all of those things). It's undeniable they had to work hard to become good programmers though.

A common story - when we started making bigger money we started buying games. True among my circle of friends.
The Coddling of the American Mind which he co-wrote with Greg Lukianoff is an important book about problems faced by the current college-age generation and the effects that social media, helicopter parenting, and certain ideologies have had on them. The Atlantic article it started as is also good, but the book expands and improves on the argument.

It’s less of a classic as the Righteous Mind because it’s more focused on a topical issue. I think it pairs well with Laura Kipnis’s Unwanted Advances.
Wow, here's a new move in the "abusive GDPR wall" game:

> We are processing your request to optin/opt-out of receiving targeted ads. Your web activity will no longer be used for targeted advertising by the companies.

And indeed it does! Mine is currently stuck at an indicated 45%. Perhaps this is designed to make the user go back and try again but this time accept all the tracking.
I would have agreed with you 15 years ago, even 5, but after Wikileaks and Snowden, it’s obvious they are as truthseeking as Pravda. They are about narrative, not about news or seeking truth. They have taboo subjects they will not pursue in psychology, social sciences, even in human reproduction, if it does not align with their view, but they’ll run with a limited study that’s not been replicated if it fits their narrative.

Now, they do have their occasional flash in a pan to pad their reputation from time to time, but that’s overwhelmed by their narrative campaigns.

A Tesla with dark tint in the rear is probably peak car-camping, as you can leave climate control on all night without running an engine and blowing your cover.
Worth mentioning that looking things up vs. learning and then knowing everything isn't a binary choice, there are degrees.

Just as an example, there is a difference between knowing roughly what to google and then looking up everything you need to know for a task, and knowing exactly what you want to do and googling to look up the execution details which you don't remember.
Back in the day (I'm not THAT old but still) I had the same with Javadoc, two chapters of the Java text book and the rest I could quickly google.
It’s interesting to see how the definition of “tech company” has expanded. Only one or two of these companies create and sell software or technology. These are startups, maybe, and I think we can talk about where the “innovative” companies are. But these are companies that run platforms online, or use the web to sell products in novel ways. They seem very different from most of the companies on the parent comment’s list.
In Sweden it's 3 months, in the UK it's usually 1 month (although my last UK contract was 3months notice).

But it swings both ways in these countries; you can't terminate someone on the spot. The employer must fulfil the notice period too (or, at least pay you for it)
“Less dense than than optimal” does not imply “density effects don’t matter for city management as claimed in the letter [eg for scarcity of road capacity or pickup points]”.
It seems like the tldr of Portland's objections is that rideshare services result in a net increase of cars on the road-- the rideshare cars-- because it makes taking a cab more convenient than mass transit. But it seems like an inverse effect might offset this issue: fewer people choosing to own & drive their personal vehicles because it's now more convenient to use rideshare services an not have to worry about finding & paying for parking.
Marie Kondo and the rise of clutter shaming
My favourite el cheapo displays are the SSD1306 OLEDs. They're tiny and work over I2C (or SPI). Cost about $3 from eBay from China. It's a fun weekend job writing your own printf and plotting libraries, trying to figure out the various modes. I2C isn't enough to do real-time refreshing of the entire display, but it's perfectly reasonable to plot sensor readings when you're just updating a few regions. You can also get libraries for the Raspberry Pi and Arduino (via Adafruit).

I remember years ago being quite proud of implementing a software variable-width font (since this wasn't a character display). Quite slow on an AVR, but looked nice.

I wonder how much of this is due to simply wanting to avoid a difficult or confrontational conversation about quitting.
Funnily enough, Buffett actually calculated this in his essay "The Super Investors of Graham and Doddsville"

Basically, advocates of the Free Market Hypotheses believed that it was impossible for anyone to deliberately, repeatedly generate alpha. The market was rational, and success was probabilistically distributed. With a large enough population, you will get Buffett level returns - therefor Buffett is a fluke.

However, Buffett calculated that there weren't enough investors for his success to be a factor of random distribution, plus there were 2 dozen others who followed a similar strategy who also consistently generate alpha
> 4. WB probably made extreme lifestyle sacrifices to have more digits in his bank account and more troubles/reports to read everyday.

Possibly...I think those are just personal preferences. Apparently he rather likes his old house in the middle of nowhere. Apparently he prefers burgers and coca-cola to Michelin star restaurants with rare vintages. He seems to actually enjoy reading and buying up companies. He seems to be one of those few people who happened to get into a trade/profession that they had and aptitude for and enjoy.
I can name

- The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy (there is absolutely nothing quite like it, and it taught me to laugh - or at least giggle - at anything)

- Dune (the notion of mental discipline, at least as idealized by Frank Herbert, made an impression on me)

- Sherlock Holmes (focused awareness and logic)

- Godel, Escher, Bach - The Eternal Golden Braid (multiple takes on awareness, logic and creativity)

There are more, but I tend to avoid Malcom Gladwell style books (and Freakonomics uses a lot of the extrapolation-by-slingshot-logic approach) and the like because they play upon our biases and are often quickly disproved.
Ok, that's true when you are in a new domain and don't know the terminology well enough to google effectively.
Folks here are acutely aware of needing to support their tech claims or arguments with evidence, but seems like when it comes to other domains of human understanding those requirements go out the window.

The responses here seem to be making Eric Alterman's point in that article, that people who seem to have the resources to better understand ourselves aren't doing it correctly, or keep shifting the discussion with specious arguments.

All political thoughts are based on certain assumptions about human nature, and the best (most prudent) assumptions we have about our human nature start with evolutionary psychologists, and other who study how our brains have evolved.
I made the jump to CleanBrowsing a few months ago from OpenDNS because OpenDNS caches records really aggressively and was just generally stagnant in terms of feature set. I've been really happy with performance and privacy.

I configured DNScrypt on Tomato and I also use Tomato to redirect all DNS requests so it can't be bypassed by simply re-pointing DNS. VPN obviously bypasses it.

You are conveniently leaving out the second portion of the comment which directly asks how profit is possible in such a manner.

One answer to this is it is very hard because your users would need to pay fees instead of being sucked into ads en masse by dark patterns. And who is willing to pay a monthly subscription fee for reddit?

Wikimedia just gets donations instead because they provide useful content. The majority of reddit is memes and images so people will just migrate to Instagram. A faithful rest might pay, but not enough to reach a $3bn valuation.

Yes, dataTask will retain self in spite of the fact that [weak self] is used in the only place where self is explicitly referenced. This is baffling.

After reading the linked article I have come to think that reference counting is not a good fit for a language that mixes object orientation with functional idioms including tons of closures.

I've started a bullet journal, and I track things to do, habits, and mood. Crossing things off as done is silly rewarding, and it helps me be more aware about what's going on. No more, "what happened in January? I don't remember that month..."

Reading and writing has also helped. I've started up a small medium account for fun, and try to get through a book every few months.

Another big thing is finding a goal for the month and accomplishing it. This month is car repairs. Last month was getting the cat through his first vet visits. Next month will likely be spring cleaning.

All of this is little details. My friends and my church family are far more significant.
