Yes, you can develop a good intuitive understanding if you spend 15 years or whatever painting full time (the first several years mostly bumbling around under various misconceptions making lots of mistakes) as an alternative to reading a few pages about how the eye works, if you prefer.

In painting (or, say, in developing dye transfer prints in a darkroom) having a deep understanding of the output medium is essential to do any kind of passable work, because color mixtures need to be made quite explicitly by the artist. The artist can’t just pluck a 10 YR 8/10 chip out of their Munsell Book of Color and immediately transfer the color to their canvas. Instead they have to squeeze some particular paints out of tubes and smear them together with a brush.

But even so, it is very helpful for painters, graphic designers, photographers, darkroom photo printers, etc. to learn a bit about how color vision and optics work. It will help organize and clarify their intuition, help them have comprehensible conversations with other artists or laypeople, help them transfer skills between media, and so on.

It’s deeply unfortunate that new computer artists are subjected to RGB values just because highly experienced painters can learn to work with a similar system. More perceptually relevant models are much nicer to work with in user interfaces.

As a single individual, it's probably more effective to work on local ethical issues than to try to do something about global villainy. There are a few people in very special places and times who have the ability to make a global effect (Wikileaks comes to mind), but that's quite rare.

Yes, we can denounce villainy that occurs on the global stage. But in truth that's almost entirely virtue signaling. We look good, but there's no difference effected in the world.

Do something that makes a difference. Despising Churchill is useless, even if he deserved it (which is dubious).

> Following the publication of this study, Google engineers made it official on a Google Groups posting hours later, announcing a relaxation of the Manifest V3 changes that would have impacted ad blockers.

There is no backtracking or lying here. The thread states:

> there are currently no planned changes to the observational capabilities of webRequest (i.e., anything that does not modify the request).

This was the plan in the earlier thread as well. The API wasn't going away, they were just removing blocking and modifying.

The article also goes hard on how they clarified that "they never intended to prevent or break content blocking". Again, they never said they wanted to limit this, they were just "moving fast and breaking things" by requiring the content blocker extensions to move to a new API. The original thread mentioned uBO because it was going to be the main source of discussion due to it having 50k+ rules already.

Clothing is surprisingly easy once you've settled your sizes for that brand. Add free return shipping and it's almost more logical to order online since you save the time of going to the store and physically finding the item (which may not even be in stock in your size).

I also like that it is much easier to use coupons online than in person, not to mention the extra percent or so off from using affiliate links.
Your post is super interesting! Thank you for sharing!
I have done a lot of both worlds and find an incredibly noticeable difference in my private life.

Manual labor that has my body feeling ‘used’ at the end of the day makes me feel that I’ve somehow accomplished so much more than if I’ve only used my mind all day and I find myself generally happier on a day-to-day basis when I’ve been doing primarily manual labor all day. But I can’t seem to justify doing manual labor over the long term when I can make so much more money as a programmer using my mind.

Since becoming a father, it also seems to have become harder to be willing to make less money for more general happiness, knowing that I can work remotely, have more free time for my kid, and make a lot more money in the long-run making money with my mind. It’s also hard to find manual labor jobs that don’t expose your body to something that is usually bad for your health over the long term.

I try to find a balance by taking on, and volunteering to help with, major home projects whenever the opportunity arises, and exercising outdoors as much as practical, but I constantly feel like there’s a huge imbalance (I spend ~40 hours a week at my computer).
In what sense does the citizen of the Central African Republic share any economic interest with the American? Legal system and political system are entirely separate.

You seem to think that if some Americans are richer than sone Africans, then it’s fine for some Americans to be richer than other Americans. Conversely, if some Americans want to tax some other Americans, why aren’t they willing to surrender 90% of their wealth to the globally impoverished?

It’s not about guilt, and it’s only partly about fairness per se. It’s about what kind of society we want to live in. Unequal wealth is unequal power. Extremely unequal wealth is extremely unequal power. If you don’t believe me, you don’t have to stop with Citizens United. Consider the French Revolution.

Your examples consistently attribute (exaggerated) returns to virtue, never allowing for chance. Did Bill Gates foresee the PC revolution? Maybe, but so did a lot of other people. Was he smarter? To a degree, perhaps. But he was late to the Internet party, much less did he predict it. He couldn’t know how the courts would decide the rights to the WIMP model developed by xerox. He couldn’t know how the AT&T divestiture would work out. He couldn’t know how copyright would be extended in Microsoft’s favor. He couldn’t foresee the toothlessness of antitrust enforcement.

Could the worker taking a job in a Ford factory in 1980 be expected to predict the US trade policy that would foreclose his career? Did the college graduate joining a bank that year have any idea how important finance would become? One was whipsawed, the other saw a windfall. Where does that fit into your ant-and-grasshopper parable?
Though I’m young and have little work experience, I’ve already started to think that a ~30-hour work week would be optimal for the rest of my life. My current work place is very flexible in work hours and days, so I decided to do 6-hour days. I think it leaves me enough time to get daily activities & hobbies done and relax.

I really enjoy my work. However, I still occasionally think to myself “man, this kinda sucks”. I think it’s because I feel the need to put my productivity in something original, something that is born from my personal passion only.

After I graduated from college, I actually kept a year-long “break” and just stayed at home. On this “break”, I set up daily tasks for myself to see what I could accomplish on my own. I did creative, productive stuff from 5 to 7 hours a day. I was learning Spanish. Programming. Piano. All on my own. It was a really awesome year. The problem in the long run, of course, is that I don’t get any money from those. It was only possible because I was still living with my parents. I would really like to do all of those activities as often as I could back then, but it’s just not possible now with a job.

I hope to soon have a solution for this: a business. Currently I’m slowly working on a software project on my free time, with the aim of it eventually creating a solid income, with a relatively small need of maintenance. Not overly confident that it’ll work out, but I’ll do my best to be able to do the stuff I want, as long as I want, while also being able to live comfortably. That’s the dream.

Because mother fucker JS sucks and it’s a huge security problem. Fuck JavaScript. You don’t need a Turing complete, garbage heap language to watch fucking YouTube. You don’t need it for 99 percent of shit on the web and the only time you need it is so some ass hole can make a shitty rube-Goldberg website with dumb functionality that nobody likes.

And also because html only sucks. You need more than text and images to do most of the stuff that’s on the web. You need lots of stuff baked in like forums, form handling and whatever. If you had a browser/protocol that had image, text, video, forum, comment tree/collapsing, etc baked in rather than re-implemented by every fucking individual website in shitty horrible broken JS then it would be more secure, more uniform and higher performance. It would also have the astounding effect of lowering the complexity of browsers massively since they don’t have to do Js, which would mean we would have more than two fucking browsers and all those new browsers would compete with each other to best serve the interests of the users. As opposed to what we have now which is a bunch of fucking bullshit.

Don’t you ever say “derp derp derp html” again you dumb mother fucker

This is perhaps most apparent with the Romani, who were targeted for extermination by the Nazis and are still hated today by a great many Europeans.

> A wave function does not say a particle is at point A AND point b. The wave function says the particle is at point A OR point B.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't say either of those things. It says the particle is in a superposition of being at point A and being at point B. There is no simple logical connective in ordinary language that captures that.

However, for the purposes of trying to figure out the gravitational field of the particle, being in a superposition of being at point A and being at point B is functionally equivalent to being in both positions at the same time, in the sense that we don't know how to treat either one quantum mechanically. See below.

> if the particle has an electric field, then the wave function would look like the following...

No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't look like any of the possibilities you wrote down. It would look like a superposition of "particle at A and electric field around point A" and "particle at B and electric field around point B". But since we know how to quantize the electromagnetic field, we know how to treat such superpositions quantum mechanically. We don't have a corresponding way to treat superpositions of gravitational fields quantum mechanically.
On the other hand, as with everything else, problems come in two sizes -- mine, and yours. And mine will always be much, much larger than yours. So don't spend too much time trying to decide if it's okay to complain about the difficulty of your life and go ahead and share your perspective. Someone else definitely has it harder, and someone has it easier, too.

> The moving particle, photon, electron, neutron, is throwing off a gravity wave as it is moving

Not necessarily. Many kinds of motion do not cause gravitational wave emission. And even the kinds that do don't cause enough to detect with our best current technologies, by many, many orders of magnitude. You basically need huge masses in a situation where they are in very tight orbits, like merging black holes or neutron stars.

2 hours/day at 100% intensity is a lot, but I have found doing something physical everyday to be key to mental health, sleeping better, and general well being. Very people go 100% even when they go to the gym 3x/week, so I don't want others reading this thinking that is all they need.

In fact, people will be surprised what the body can do (go read up on ultra-marathoners, etc...). Few regular gym goers are even close to needing rest days, and instead use it as an excuse not to go.

Another aspect from a pure CS perspective: FIR filters are pure functions; IIR filters are not because they are stateful. FIR filters have lots of nice properties but [at least] one big downside: They tend to require more computation to accomplish the same result. So sometimes an IIR filter is a better choice when you don't have much processing power (e.g. in a small embedded single-core processor).

Your quoted excerpt intrigued me. The quoted scholar is none other than Amartya Sen, the Bengali economist and intellectual (Nobel prize in Economics, now at Harvard).

Born in 1933, Sen was 10 years old at the time of the famine and witnessed it firsthand. He later investigated the cause of the famine and published articles and finally a book on it. This research led to the notion (simplifying here) that famines have a key component that is distributional in nature - that economic or social conditions (like income inequality) can cause a relatively small food shock to turn into a famine. This is what he found in Bengal.

Sen's essays in NYRB (https://www.nybooks.com/contributors/amartya-sen/) are excellent. The Mukherjee book (source [3] in the GP comment) placing blame for the Bengal famine on Churchill received a mixed review by another author (https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2010/12/23/did-churchill-le...).

> Out of curiosity, what is stopping screen makers from making the entirety of the colour space as defined by the CIE chromaticity diagram its gamut?

A display can't support the entire space because of the way colours combine. Any light source acts as a point in the colour space, so a 3-colour display can only cover a triangle.

That said, wide gamut monitors do exist. They're of limited utility for simply consuming media; because of the chicken-and-egg effect everything produced for mass consumption already targets the reduced sRGB space or an equivalent. However, a wide-gamut display is useful for content generation, especially when targeting print processes that can use spot colours.

I can relate to your schedule, but you have to break it up. Working out every day is great, but 2 hours of 100% intensity is tough. It's okay to do a light run on some days. The Zen concept here is you want to fill everyday with as much as possible without impacting your ability to do the same tomorrow. Think of your life as a marathon instead of sprint. What hours would you need to keep to exercise and work every single day? Treat the week like that and you'll have the time and energy to do other things on the weekend.

You also need to find some things outside work. Joining a sports league would help. You get your exercise and meet people. Jiu Jitsu is fun and many gyms treat all the members like extended family. It's also mentally challenging (think physical chess), so it gets your mind off of work.

Good luck.
I also like how it's credit rather than a time-limited plan. Some projects might not take off in 3-months? 12? Especially if it's 1 person working in their spare time, having a bunch of trials running out is pressure you don't need.

Credit on the other hand runs out when you actually use it, so is much more likely to coincide with you being ready to pay for the service.
To add insult to injury I find doing things on the weekend often a chore because everything is so crowded. Around here finding a parking place at the mall, movie theaters, etc is very difficult. There's a beautiful state park that my wife and I love. But to go there on the weekend you gotta arrive either at 6am or 6pm. The parking lot fills up solid, complete with people lurking in their cars waiting for someone to leave. Want to get out of town? Be prepared to sit in lots of traffic. I sometimes seriously wonder if living in such a crowded part of the country is worth it.
