I convinced my boss to let me work less days per week. 4 to be precise. It was a very very rare exception open just for me and because I was a well regarded dev 2+ years in the team. Since then, I had interviews with companies and recruiters and there simply isn't any offers for reduced week loads. Companies have fixed costs in hiring you, I guess, and want to suck you dry ASAP.
People can't control how they feel, so it's unreasonable to expect someone to stick to something they're no longer enjoying. But people can control whether they stick to their word in financial dealings.

Has anyone figured out how to pass multiple arguments to js?

I want ":pocket my-tag" to trigger a bookmarklet with current url and the tag, but I think the piping only ever passes 1 parameter. I guess JS_VAR could be an array(?), but I wouldn't know how to fill it.

I guess I could just use one optional tag and get the url myself in js (window.location.href).

This worked in pentadactyl (also this is a functioning, non documented bookmarklet for pocket :) ):

function(){window.open('https://getpocket.com/edit?url='+escape(window.location.href)+'&tags=<args>', '_self');}
Ha! I did a webapp just for tagging observation videos. This is for my SO college students, they were doing it in excel. It's a big headache for maintenance, but it probably saved her students alot of time

There are niche apps that do it but they charge a high fee to the college. Case you are wondering:

People's feelings change, but how much integrity somebody has (whether they keep their word) is a part of their character, and people's character changes less frequently.
I'm a totally undecided person. My first solution is to accept it - As in spend lots of time on the choice if it matters. If I need to buy something expensive, it will sometimes take me weeks / months background thinking about it, and I'm ok with that. If it's not urgent, why worry about that?

The second is to get many answers at the same time. I've usually got a list of movies to watch / things to read that I make in one go. You can bookmark things in some category with the idea that the next time you'll just grab the top one when you need it. You spent the time choosing them, so that part is done.

The third one is just to accept I won't make perfect choices. I can't say it's going to be easy for you, but this requires some level of training the "I don't care this isn't great. The other options would have their own issues." approach. Unless you have perfect knowledge about the products, it's always going to be true. If it was a really crappy choice, you learned something for the next time... but it doesn't matter. You saved time/energy by making one.
Yes, this is actually a part of my point. There's no point in legislating it because all it will do is prevent an arbitrary class of people from using it, leaving it only in the hands of people who aren't interested in complying with legislation to begin with.

In other words, it will happen so the best thing we can do is acknowledge this and prepare for it.
Yup. And this should have been blindingly obvious to everyone involved in writing/reviewing/editing the original paper -- the effect size reported was just far too large. <10% parole before and >70% after lunch? That's not a mood swing. Especially since a lot of parole cases are very very routine, and not really close judgement calls.

> Again, I don't know if they're using ammonia gas on the beef trimmings, but assuming that they are, then you've managed to conflate two different chemicals

No, they are the same chemical for the purposes of this discussion. Any form of ammonia you eat -- whether ammonium bicarbonate or ammonium sulfate in bread, or ammonia residues in meat -- will be found as ammonium hydroxide in your blood. It's the same stuff. And the consequences of that extra ammonia in your body are precisely nothing. A ten ounce serving of pure pink slime (you know you want it) might give you a whopping hundred milligram boost of ammonia. That's 10 to 20 times less ammonia (nitrogen equivalent) than a typical adult pisses out every day.
Then it shouldn't be one controlled by a corporation that is a monopolist in several other markets already.

I suppose it depends on how much confidence you have in your ability to assess somebody's character.
This is something that I realized a couple of decades back, when my generation was supposedly the computer savvy one, after meeting a man in his sixties. While teaching computer programming to children I noticed that people tended to correlate screen time with technical ability, even when the child was a passive consumer. When I talk to children and youth today, I recognize similarities between the ones that I hold technical coversations with and my peers while I was growing up. I would not be surprised if the proportion of youth engaged with technology remains relatively stable from generation to generation.
Documentary: The Story of Ember.js
It's not an impossibility just an anomaly to be self-made and requires a lot more luck than just gumption and hard work. The far-greater majority of wealth is inherited. Technically you could argue El Chapo was self-made, so its possible but the less resources you have available the less probable. I recommend reading the book Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Piketty, it's an amazingly well researched and multidisciplinary work.
It’s often useful to be able to know what goes on behind the scenes, but the hardware/software of today makes this increasingly difficult to ascertain.
Data science as such isn't really a thing that defines public policy. That's more the realm of classical statistical analysis. Althogh there are some major flaws in classical statistical analysis too, such that risks of types 1 and 2 errors are far too high.
Sure, if a growth mindset didn’t actually improve outcomes it would be negligent to promote a growth mindset. However, the evidence suggests that a growth mindset does improve outcomes. In the interest of improving outcomes a growth mindset should be encouraged.

Your second point is true, that success is often determined by factors outside of an individual’s control (e.g. luck, parental income, school district, discrimination, etc). But we should educate people on which factors that lead to success are under their control, and it appears the growth mindset leads to success and is under their control.
This is not about personal "pleasure in the physical appearance", but about the culture where using Playboy photos in a professional cobtext doesn't raise any eyebrows.
My dad had real weekends. No grocery shopping, no laundry or other chores. He got stuff done, but he didn't have to do it and most weekends he truly relaxed.

How did he manage this? He had a wife. She did the chores during the week while he worked.

Now that women have been told that they should work they do, even if they're not particularly good at it. And now we don't have weekends. We are single people working full time to support ourselves and we're completely trapped by it. What a tragedy.

My point being that the design of the control system is the hard part and the software implementation while not trivial isn't the problem being solved.

And the design of the control system for a small model rocket and whatever control authority can be created for it in hardware are super hard compared to however it is implemented.
> abstract testing away from educators so they can focus on teaching

Some systems attempt this, at the level of individual courses, and what seems to happen is the educator focuses ever more on bureaucracy. It means that they can't be free to adjust the course to the class & the time, but must pre-commit to some plan which is approved by someone else, and the exam will be submitted many months ahead of time to get checked by other people, who do this in addition to their own teaching. All supervised by ever more administrators, incentives to make themselves unavoidable.

Some things like bar exams are external and standardised. (And GRE etc.) But trying to run every course this way seems a terrible idea.
I felt the same about 3 days and then asked to work 4 days again, which by boss was happy to grant me. But for me 4 days is the sweet spot.
Find it kind of funny too that some of the same people that find pink slime, chicken nuggets disgusting are the same people that will suck meat off ribs and eat the bone marrow like its butter.
"starting from a knee" rolling, he says carefully. I bet there's a story there... I have a SLAP lesion from a Judo throw, myself.

Also +1 for "make sure the people you roll with are not idiots". I guess my role is to follow you around agreeing with you.

Further, make you that the person that you are 2 minutes after the roll starts isn't an idiot. My IQ often drops about 10 points her minute of the roll, so I'll go in saying to myself "OK, today I'm going to work the Shaolin sweep from knee shield half", a minute later it's "I'm going to get whatever I can get from knee shield half", a minute later it's "let's just wrestlefk my way to top position any old how and then work a principled submission" and by the end of the roll it's "smash this fool with everything I've got like it's the Abu Dhabi trials". I am very aware of this tendency and work like hell to avoid it, but it's important to recognize that idiot-avoidance isn't just about other people.

Transparency in software releases isn't all-or-nothing. The parent comment makes a good point about preferring more transparency (free and open source software) over less transparency (proprietary software) as a consumer.

However, the parent comment is a bit misplaced since Ghostery appears to be released under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.

The penalty is unreasonable - that's my primary objection.
That's a totally different product than pink slime. Your first statement alone is incorrect.
I think you are vastly underestimating the difficulty of achieving those result.

It may be the case that a growth mindset causes more people to waste effort in a field that they have a severe lack of talent for, but for those who have average talent but hit the wall that many professions have and struggle to overcome it a growth mindset can be an important tool in overcoming that wall and reaching their average fixed potential. Beyond that, specifically for people with high fixed ability, a growth mindset can drive them to develop their talent far beyond what they might have been content with under a fixed mindset.

I'd definitely agree that more research needs to be done, but at the moment I'd say that optimisism about your personal potential is most likely a strongly positive thing for most people.
Right now we charge someone who earns their lifetime income in 20 years much more tax than someone else who earns the same total income over 40 years. A change like this would remove this unfairness, but to collect the same total amount (over say 60 years for both now) the brackets would surely be different.
This explanation misses the key point almost entirely. Obviously, if there is an external reason for everyone to do the same thing, it is probably not collusion.

But there doesn't have to be an external cause for it not to be collusion. If all kebab shop owners in a neighbourhood charge exactly the same price for a kebab, because each of them has decided individually that charging more or less than the others would put them at a disadvantage, then that is not collusion.

Everyone opening their umbrellas when it's not raining doesn't have to be collusion either. It could just as well be fashion for instance.

Collusion requires an agreement to act in a certain coordinated way. Drawing the line is difficult when there is a silent agreement based on tradition or fear or whatever.

Right, thanks for the insight.

A further thought: `apple_pie` wouldn't actually be problematic, in the sense that we could deduce `¬even(apple_pie)` from the way it's currently written. This is because `apple_pie` is obviously neither `0` nor `s(s(N))`. Of course, this might not be desirable philosophically since it might be preferable to consider applying `even` to `apple_pie` nonsense since they are of different types (informally speaking).

Is this right? Am I missing something?

Yet another curiosity is that the repo itself is only accessible to logged in users, it's almost 3 thousand forks are not. This is a half baked GitHub feature.

It's pretty stupid to make it only available to logged in users as all it's doing is annoying people. Hope this "feature" stays half-baked, don't want GitHub to become authwalled like LinkedIn has become.
The article notes that the LED "acts as a very low temperature object". I interpret this to mean "the LED radiates as though its temperature is lower", rather than "the LED radiates as though its emissivity is lower". In other words, AFAICT the effect can still exist even if the LED has 100% emissivity in both absorption and emission, which would make it a black-body. So the fact that the real LED's emissivity is not 100%, is not relevant to the effect. But we're splitting hairs here.
In fact, it is much harder to tinker with technology than it used to be. Not only is it more complex, but phones are also locked down so you are not really able to control your own device, or it does at least require quite some effort to do so, and can't be done using the device itself. Both Apple and Google in practice discourage people from tinkering with the device.

It's not about not being able to mend at all, these things are fairly easy to do (or to learn).

It's unthinkable anyone would come to work in mended clothes. They would be concerned everyone thinks they're poor and can't afford buying new clothes. As long as there is this social stigma, and clothing brands interest in people buying new pieces of clothing continuously, we can forget about mending.
The EU didn't even formally exist until the early 1990s, before then it was just an overgrown trade federation.

The EU is if anything a force against peace, as it takes a totalitarian "you obey us on everything or we work with you on nothing" approach which may appear to create temporary peace, but only by suppressing dissent. The USSR was also by this approach very "peaceful".
Not sure of your background but clearly you did not work with enough clients to understand hourly is painful, invoices never paid in time, and you will get micromanaged very quickly.

Weekly makes the management forget about you, and also you will be automating the paying process while knowing you will have a fixed income for a certain time.

Hourly = Inconsistency, unpaid invoices, constant arguments over hours.

In a recent college mathematics course I took, the professor took an hour in the first week to explain research on the growth mindset. More professors should do this!
At which point you begin to question what benefit you gained from initially siding with a single engine in the first place.
Yes, because once you figure those parts (which is not that hard as you listed), you will be able to make 5x - 10x more money than you used to make with the same skillset.

9-5 for a developer pays 100k. Freelance gets paid 250k+. This is real.

This is a win-win situation for Google. I doubt they haven't done the maths.
If they lose a percentage of the userbase, but get increased revenue, it's only logical to do that.
If their userbase decreases, their monopoly status also decreases, making regulation harder.

The percentage of users who install firefox is low because of the inertia of the default. Having Google as the default search engine in firefox certainly didn't help.

Imagine downloading firefox to replace IE or Edge on a fresh Windows install and then immediately witness Chrome ads in your search results.

Mozilla should had disrupted the third party tracking/ads business, when it had the chance, by providing a default ad blocker and severing ties with no-privacy-respecting search engines (before Google disrupted the browsers market that is).

Google's Android browser is doing well by not supporting extensions, why would they miss the chance of additional revenue by not crippling their desktop browser the same way?
Some foods? You mean, like, literally all digestible proteins?

> but constant higher levels can cause illness as it overwhelms the body.

Note that this has nothing to do with the tiny residual levels of ammonia in bread, cheese (both cheap and expensive), and meat products of all kinds. Your body produces and excretes an order of magnitude more ammonia than what you eat directly from food, and will easily do far more than that if you're athletic or eat a lot of extra protein.
10% is unreasonable? Are you saying there should be no penalty? I’m arguing it’s low.

Every Californian (or anyone living in a state with high income tax) pays a 10% penalty just to live in that state.

Put another way, withdrawing from a 401k in a state with no income tax would probably amount to the same amount of tax any Californian pays on their normal income.
Actually that's the API feature that current ad blockers were using.
The question still remains: what are they optimizing for if we already have sub-millisecond response times?

The only evidence you offer is anecdotal. I'm having a hard time imagining perceptible differences in sub-millisecond response times so either you or the study are in error.

And just to reiterate other comments: yes, Safari is probably able to block ads just fine now, because they modeled the engine according to capabilities needed right now. However, it comes at a huge cost to innovation and creates yet another barrier of entry guarded by a large corporation.

Taking all of that in account, it seems unnecessary. The looming threat of ulterior motives from Google remains ever-present.
Because not everything is possible without marriage. Marriage gives a legal framework to so many facets of life that is can be tricky when one doesn't. For example, medical care. If you aren't married, a "spouse" may not be able to make decisions for your care.

And that's just for folks already living in the same country. I couldn't live with my spouse before marriage because we lived in different countries. While one allowed a fiance visa, it was only good for 6 months, during which the fiance not only couldn't work, but couldn't open a local bank account.
Ah right, apologies I missed that! You make a fair comment given the GI Joe movies came out decades after the Vietnam war.
I think one of the main motivations for studying the growth mindset is to understand why underrepresented minorities perform poorly and to develop strategies to improve their outcomes. This evidence suggests it does and it is important that the authors report that finding.

A note-taking app: A note, what is a note? What is an app? Personal notes, clients, collaboration, users of the notetaking app?

At my desk I have a chair and desk and PC and screens and pieces of sticky paper, cut-up pieces of scrap paper, and coloured pens on-hand to take notes.

In the wall we have a safe to store any notes. And a document retention policy. And a bigger safe downstairs.

At the gym I have a note taking app on my phone, that doesn't include titles or anything other than body text. That works for recalling really quickly, and is not 'structured data' other than a data and preview.

I use email to send notes to myself, and this allows attaching files which might or might not be needed again (document retention policy).

I have a personal wiki that allows wiki-like harnessing of rich media, and is available-anywhere, a constantly living document, document-of-documents, not restricted to a computer or OS or platform for accessibility.

So... what is a note, the use of the note, the potential for sharing and/or collaboration and/or storing?

Is a note a note in dictation, distraction, and no note leads to better noting?
Depends on what you consider a "conspiracy". The word "conspiracy" sounds unnecessarily controversial and mysterious. It seems plausible and probable to me that there are economic motivating factors at play.
