"The worst part is there is hardly any time for resting the mind and body. Our jobs can be mentally and physically demanding."

I don't see how any other "too much" job is excluded; you are blaming the author for his background alone.

For your example: If you have to milk "[n] cows every morning at x o-clock", you are done after n cows every day. If you design large software or manage larger projects, you are done once - when it's done. At least I don't take my physicial work home each day, but when working mentally I do this every day in worst case.

I have done a lot from "both" worlds and honestly don't see much of a difference between aching bones and an aching mind for my private life.

I'd suggest getting a refresher on sarcasm first.
The "no free time" issue for me is not due to work; it's due to being married — which is a choice I made knowing that I would lose a lot of "me" time. Every so often my wife visits family on the opposite coast for a week or two and suddenly it feels like bucketloads of time have appeared out of nowhere. I imagine once I have children (which I hope to have in the next few years), I will feel even more pressed for time, but I accept that this is just the nature of that decision.

Everything is really about trade-offs, but I think if you are single, a 40 hour work week is probably not enough to make you feel like you are on a hedonic treadmill. I'm currently working at my dream company, but over the next few years, my goal is to reach financial independence as quickly as possible via some side project. 95% of startups fail, but at least in the valley, most of these startups are VC funded and have big ambitions. I'd say if your goal is to simply reach $2-3 million for financial independence, the failure rate is a bit lower for some small project that fills a niche market need.
Older versions of chaos monkey didn’t require spinnaker and still work perfectly fine.

Also, if you’re using this, the right time to start doing it is in development, account wide. It’s mildly obnoxious for devs to lose stuff like Jenkins servers and bastions, but you really quickly find single points of failure and start to engineer around it. Usually making your stuff resilient isn’t that much work, but it’s hard to know what you need to do until you test it.

If you’re randomly terminating everything in dev and testing and staging, you should already be battle hardened by the time you get into production.
I find the typical work in developer jobs very fatiguing. It involves reading through loads of old code that other people have written over the years, trying to figure out how it all hangs together and where I inject my change in. For some reason that does my head in.

Greenfield work is a lot less tiring, but much more rare in my experience. It's also a career path of it's own and hard to get on. I.e. you need greenfield experience to get a coveted greenfield job role.

I am considering getting into tutoring/teaching programming and I might find that a lot less tiring, covering the basics X times rather than wrangling the spaghetti code day in and day out.

Does anyone have experience with deborphan? Not previously aware of it, I installed it, and it reported 2 programs which I use very frequently (conky and cryptsetup) as being orphans. I dare not run the uninstall script in the linked guide.
I feel like I didn't argue this as clearly as I could have. Let me make one more addition.

Throughout the discussion I'm making the tacit assumption that there is one standard viewpoint to which we adhere. That's the "normal" world. Numbers are finite and halting programs halt after finitely many steps. It is from this fixed viewpoint that I'm declaring certain claims to be lies. They are not lies in some grand universal sense.

I realize that the word "lie" usually also entails an accusation of deliberate deception. But that's immaterial here. Formal systems don't have intentions. They simply make claims.

Fascinating thanks, I never knew about this, so I became curious about the causes:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_famine_of_1943#Debate_a...

It certainly seems like an area of controversy, but is it so clear cut that it was Churchill's fault? It seems like the main takeaways are:

> Academic consensus generally follows the FEE account, as formulated by A. Sen (1977) and A. Sen (1981a), in describing the Bengal famine of 1943 as an "entitlements famine". On this view, the prelude to the famine was generalised war-time inflation, and the problem was exacerbated by prioritised distribution and abortive attempts at price control,[323] but the death blow was devastating leaps in the inflation rate due to heavy speculative buying.[324][AZ] This in turn caused a fatal decline in the real wages of landless agricultural workers,[325] transforming what should have been a local shortage into a horrific famine.[326]

If that's the case, was this clearly foreseeable or not, and were there alternatives? And it continues:

> More recent analyses often stress political factors.[BA] Discussions of the government's role split into two broad camps: those which suggest that the government unwittingly caused or was unable to respond to the crisis,[327] and those which assert that the government willfully caused or ignored the plight of starving Indians. The former see the problem as a series of avoidable war-time policy failures and "panicky responses"[138] from a government that was spectacularly inept,[328] overwhelmed[329] and in disarray; the latter as a conscious miscarriage of justice by the "ruling colonial elite"[330] who abandoned the poor of Bengal.[331]

The article doesn't mention if there's a current academic consensus on whether it was inept wartime panicking or conscious, however.

Is the narrative of "Churchill as Hitler to India" really justifiable, or just as simplistic as Churchill as Savior? I'm genuinely interested here, since I was never taught about this, and also curious why your comment is so downvoted.
Everyone is entitled to talk about their subjective experience. Nobody has to listen to it. And it feels a little rude to go all Four Yorkshiremen on people and tell them they don't really have it hard.

Like many resources about color, this one has an output-medium-centric followed by early-20th-century-experiment-design-centric viewpoint, presumably because that was where the author started and what he read about. But however perfect the exposition might otherwise be, that is the wrong way to start a general discussion of the subject, and the result is inevitably misleading and confusing for non-experts.

> it is a pragmatic approach

Having tried to talk face-to-face to many people from different backgrounds about color, in practice this doesn’t work. People are starting with too many misconceptions and gaps in foundational knowledge.

If you want to understand color you have to start with at least the basics about the physiology of human vision, along with some basic optics. It is all but impossible to properly understand what is going on with RGB displays, understand what “white point” means, etc. without that background.

One of the resource recommended at the end, Bruce MacEvoy’s site http://handprint.com/LS/CVS/color.html is a much better starting place, albeit pretty long for someone just interested in the basics.

Or there are many books about human color vision and color reproduction, some friendlier for laypeople and others highly detailed and technical. To understand recent color models Mark Fairchild’s book Color Appearance Models is pretty good, and the first half is a pretty accessible general overview. Or for more about color reproduction try Billmeyer and Saltzman’s Principles of Color Technology (recent editions rewritten by Roy Berns). For more about colorimetry try Hunt & Pointer’s book Measuring Color. Or for something historical, try Kuehni’s Color Space and Its Divisions.

You intuition is correct. If you dive into the behavioral genetics literature, you'll find that the school you go to and how long you go to school doesn't affect your life outcomes. Instead, both your life outcome as well your "quality" and duration of schooling are all driven by genetics and random stuff in the environment (actually, what is called non-shared environment, so stuff outside of your family, school, neighborhood, etc.).

The assumption is that Alice recognizes the voice of Bob. If Eve manages to evasdrop on the call and sits in the middle or beats Bob to connect to the wormhole server then Alice will still see that the fingerprint that Bob dictates over the phone does not match the fingerprint of the key that her computer proposes to use for the file transfer. Alice will therefore abort the transmission.

With deep learning the voice may be not good enough nowadays. Still, you only need an authenticated - possibly public - channel, similar to pgp key exchange, where you can read the fingerprint over the phone.
But it should be pointed out that induction is essentially unrelated to Gödel's theorem.

For example, Robinson Arithmetic is a finitely axiomatized theory whose axioms contain only one existential quantifier, but just like full (Peano) arithmetic, it is subject to Gödel's incompleteness theorems.

It's quite a decent article. I prefer the term "color image encoding" for sRGB IEC61966-2, or ITU-R BT.2020 or DCI-P3, because it encapsulates the primaries (red, green, blue in relation to CIE XYZ), tone response curve (often defined with a gamma function, or the sRGB curve which approximates a curve defined by a gamma function of 2.2 but in fact they aren't the same as the article points out), precision or bit depth, the reference viewing condition, and the reference medium.

Very often ignoring the differences in reference viewing condition or medium, gets people into trouble when they do transforms between these encodings and think the environment or medium doesn't have to change. For example there are four variants of DCI-P3, with the same primaries, different white points, and different tone response curves, to account for their different reference viewing conditions. Are they all the same color space? Errr, maybe, yes? Are they all the same color imagine encoding? Definitely not. Same for ITU-R BT.709 vs sRGB; same for Adobe RGB (1998) vs opRGB. As the reference mediums differ, so will the dynamic range.

CIE XYZ, based on the 1931 standard observer, continues to be put through its paces. There's also the 1964 standard observer derived from that and supplemental observations and research. There's dozens of color appearance models that have appeared, and continue to be an active area of research. Some try to account for various features of human vision including optical illusions (illusions expose them as if they are a kind of trick or failure, but in fact they're a feature) like simultaneous contrast, Bezold effect, distinguishing between saturation, chroma, and colorfulness, and many other aspects of appearance. Recently there's some understanding the idea of a single standard observer is probably wrong, and how to go about categorizing and handling multiple standard observers (i.e. normal color vision) and that is also yet another area of active research.

For anyone interested in color science, or having substantial math and/or computing skill, and looking for unique real world application, I highly recommend IS&T's annual Color Imaging Conference. imaging.org
> where do people work

Work isn't the end goal is it?

The point is, people want produce and services. They use these to survive and to entertain.

Normally, it was the case you couldn't by yourself produce and serve all the things and needs that you had for survival and entertainment.

So up till now, everyone had to work and divide the tasks.

Now, we can produce and serve without everyone needing to work.

The end goal is still, how can we produce and serve for everyone. That will be a political and social challenge. But when you think about it on a technical level, we've never been this close to reaching this goal. Where as before, this wasn't even technically possible.

The question is, will social progress catch up with and follow technical progress?

What I find most curious is that exactly one of the groups the Nazis systematically slaughtered went from being widely regarded as an acceptable target for racist degradation to being given a country, despite ~2,000 years of being treated as literally the servants of Satan, while the other groups the Nazis targeted only gradually gained equal rights.

What’s up with that? I wish we could give every disadvantaged group something like that. Although hopefully we’d learn lessons from creating the modern state of Israel and avoid a repeat of the six day war.

>Everyone is entitled to talk about their subjective experience.

Maybe that's part of the problem. Not that everyone is entitled to talk about their subjective experience, but that everyone feels entitled to talk about their subjective experience -- and many are socially blind and comically out of touch when doing so. That's where memes like "first world problems" came from...

Everybody should be able to talk about their subjective experience. But many should have the social awareness, grace, and decency, not to.

Those who disagree still laugh and sneer at the richer 0.1% people when they say something comically out of touch with everyday life. But they just can't fathom that they themselves can be a richer 1% of people for a huge majority, and that their complaints can sound comically out of touch to most.

It's not like there aren't real problems to complain about that are shared among people and don't make someone look like self-absorbed (health issues, family issues, divorce, financial trouble, trauma, and so on).

Churchill was no saint, I don't think any sane person anyone would elevate him to such - but he's no war criminal - and no villain to most.

Churchill was a nationalist, an unreformed victorian, an imperialist - and yes, a racist too.

The Bengal famine of 1943 was 1.5m deaths, this in the midst of a war that killed 85m people. I'd also point out that in the context of India - a country which in 1943 had around 400m people living in it - in other words .375% of the total population.

I'd also like to note that in 1949, India inflicted partition on itself, the greatest humanitarian crisis (almost) no one has heard of before - it displaced 14m and likely killed another 200k - 2m - again, on a country of around 400m people.

I consider it a zero-sum game to try to judge people by modern standards, it is meaningless - and lessens their very important contributions in history. History is in my opinion about clearly stating facts, and letting individuals form their own opinion.

I consider Churchill to be a great man - just as with Stalin and Roosevelt, whatever failings he had as peacetime a leader, are overshadowed to a significant amount by his wartime successes.

I also point out, that Churchill was not perfect, he was a lousy, lousy theatre commander.
