> To play devil's advocate: what if top CEO's (whether by school or by track record) look for harder challenges?

That literally means that CEO's do not know how to do their jobs. Even if they do it knowing it.

> Someone once said Dara Khosrowshahi took the CEO job of Uber not to make money, but because anyone willing to take that job is somehow who wants to play the CEO game on "hard mode".

And there is families that depend on that companies salary. Drivers around the world will be affected by Uber's CEO decisions. That is a job that will not be a game for most people. But, maybe it is for anyone that want that kind of job. They are just playing while others are the ones that are affected by it.

I've done these same analyses before as well, and more. This is the correct analysis to do if you're looking to build an alpha-generative trading strategy. It is not necessarily the correct analysis to do if you want to measure actual CEO performance.

If you want to measure CEO performance, you need to look at growth in fundamentals, not share price. The share price is going to reflect the market's beliefs about the CEOs. Which, if the market is efficient (as it seems to be for these variables), should show exactly no effect. If there were an effect here manifest in share price returns, we could all read this article and arbitrage it away. This would mean that the next person who looked for this effect would conclude "CEO performance has no correlation to share price returns!".

I'm kind of surprised they would do all of this statistical work and not be aware of this gaping hole in their reasoning. Now they do make the point at the end that they're arguing against stock-based compensation here, which is a good point. If the market prices in your value as a CEO the moment you're hired, you don't want to have share-price based compensation. You want comp tied to growth in fundamentals.
Music is helpful in other ways that might overpower any negative effect.

In my case, music helps me out with my tinitus, without it I'm in a lot of pain. And unlike, say, white noise, listening to music helps a ton with depressed mood. I can't get through my days without its help!

Surely others have similar or different reasons for using music while working!

I've tried everything and I really like Dynalist (or any other outliner) as a personal knowledge repo / place to store notes and ideas.

I find ideas do tend to be quite hierarchical and you can link between nodes if need be.
That is incorrect. Both `npm install` and `npm ci` respect the lock file, and if a lock file is present, will make the `node_modules` tree match the lock file exactly.

`npm ci` is optimized for a cold start, like on a CI server, where it's expected that `node_modules` will not be present. So, it doesn't bother looking in `node_modules` to see what's already installed. So, _in that cold start case_, it's faster, but if you have a mostly-full and up to date `node_modules` folder, then `npm install` may be faster, because it won't download things unnecessarily.

Another difference is that `npm ci` also won't work _without_ a `package-lock.json` file, which means it doesn't even bother to look at your `package.json` dependencies.

Out of curiosity I visited your first link and played the first dozen+ levels. It's just been bash-fu and occasional man reading/googling. Judging by the subsequent level instructions I went through, there didn't seem to be much more in there. I'm like, if you really want to learn more about shell commands, there are man pages.

Probably a lot of these downloads are from bots. Continuous Integration is very common in Node.js/JavaScript projects, so each git commit anyone with CI (and no dependency caching) will download lots of packages.

> Demler’s complaint involves Florida’s digital music player program, which let inmates buy a specially designed media player for $99 or $119, then buy individual songs or audiobooks for $1.70 apiece.

I guess that the bigger is the inmate population the easier is to make more money.

> But in 2018, the FDOC switched to a new company called JPay, which didn’t honor the earlier purchases. The agency required inmates to trade in their music players for new multimedia tablets, or to pay $25 and have the players shipped to someone outside prison.

That is a perfect business. You have literally captivated customers.

I think that USA do not see inmates as human beings. That is the only way to explain what happens there. But, they are human and abusing them is as much as a crime as abusing anyone else.

Thank you.

It also makes more sense that some chemicals accidentally introduced in the car ("The issue would more likely be linked to cleaning products used around the brake pedals or some other substance that has silicon and that gives off the silicon gas.") and somehow depositing inside a brake pedal switch will prevent the rear brakes lamps to function (as opposed to the original WSJ article where "a brake-light switch that is also involved in starting the engine", which of course is possible but IMHO unlikely).

Actively listening to music engages pattern recognition, prediction and working memory in the listener. It makes sense that this would disrupt concurrent 'creative' or more realistically, pattern matching tasks.
However, this experiment does not seem to cover non-concurrent listening to music, aka the Mozart effect. It could well be that listening to music enhances creative ability when subsequently not listening to music. So that regular music listening enhances ability to make creative pattern associations over the long term.
I'm curious how something like transferring to another service would work. The other service has a cost to endure per item, too (CDN costs, etc). It would seem unreasonable not to compensate the new "host". Do we have a fee to transfer from, say, Amazon Videos to iTunes of 10-15% of the market rate for the content?

Take a look at yourself and identify things that you'd like to improve now that you have the chance, maybe that you never even though to be possible to improve/learn (too hard, don't have time/motivation/etc...).

And then improve them, maybe through new positive habits and routines. As other have suggested it could be your fitness level, nutrition, your ability to concentrate or to be less perturbed by external events. Or even the meta-ability to "build habits" to improve various facets of your life.

That's why the headline says "inmates".
Here's my take -- the list is incidental. It could have been anything. The key here is that he engaged with his dreams in a real way. He thought about them, made them concrete, and then tried to actualize them. He gave his life a goal and a self-directed "meaning."

Imagine if he tried to do the things on his list, but failed. Would he be less happy? Probably not.

Of course, this is all assuming that he is truly the "completely satisfied" person that the article paints him to be. I doubt any person is quite so simple as that.

I mean, we still write the overwhelming majority of our code in JavaScript. We port to Rust when CPU-heavy task becomes a bottleneck to the rest of the system. It's not as if this paper is saying (nor is it the case) that we've ported the whole registry to Rust. JS has lots of advantages we appreciate.

Building real things is great, but honestly for me one of the most satisfying things is just programming in an expressive and clean way for its own sake. It's great when you get a language or a tool that faciliates that.

You make it sound as if taxation is a good thing. In much of the world capitalism, retained profits and growing the economy is used to make people wealthier. The countries with fastest growth and highest employment, healthiest companies tend to have lower tax rates (China, USA).

Countries that treat companies as if they a problem that need more tax (much of Western Europe) tend to have high unemployment and poorly performing economies where young people leave. Europe has the advantage that it got rich through its empires (and low taxes) and is now stagnating into poverty. Companies and people already pay a lot of tax compared to the rest of the world, Europeans should be trying to reduce this burden instead of figuring out how to tax more.
Thanks for the reply Isaac! This doesn’t match my first-hand experience unfortunately. Are there any circumstances under which npm install with a lockfile present deviates from the lockfile where npm ci does not?

For example, why did this person experience the changing lockfile? https://github.com/npm/npm/issues/17101

Or why do these docs say?

> Whenever you run npm install, npm generates or updates your package lock
https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package-locks

Oh, this seems like what I experienced: https://stackoverflow.com/a/45566871/283398

It does appear that npm works somewhat differently than the “obvious” way we would expect package managers to work vis a vis lockfiles :(

At least npm ci gets the job done for my use case :)

I think this is because you expect creativity to mean something resembling artistic ability (e.g. painting), while the paper's definition is closer to problem solving (performance on CRATs).
> Gas stations next to each other but divided by a state line in the US have different prices

Xargs, actually, though saturating my dinky Internet connection was trivial. Ten concurrencies kept any one request from stalling the crawl though.

That's why the script echoed the curl commant rather than run it directly. It fed xargs.

The other problem was failed or errored (non 3xx/4xx, or incomplete HTML -- no "</html>" tag found) responses. There was no runtime detection of these. Instead, I checked for those on completion of the first run and re-pulled those in a few minutes, a few thousand from the whole run, most of which ended up being 4xx/3xx ultimately.

Make money in SV or another high paying locale, don't piss your money away on silly cars that drive themselves or homes to impress your friends, and when you're ready move to a place like Spain, France, even Canada if cold is your cup of tea.

There's nothing riskier than not working, not having Medicare and not being very rich in the US. How do you know you don't have a chronic medical condition that manifests in your 50s?

Not so severe in my case - your experience sounds rough :( - but music helps working in an open plan office.

A pair of good, ear covering headphones improves my focus in a huge way. Great for crunch times - especially with distraction prone ADHD.

Since I've been working there for a while, the headphones have become an analogue for a DND sign. Someone else in the office picks up my calls. Nobody disturbs unless it's our managing director with a pressing issue.
That’s pretty much true with DRM free music files though isn’t it? That’s one of the few bright lights in the whole digital media space. My MP3s aren’t tied to either Apple or Amazon.
This highlights the problem of averages. Most (99.87% or so) humans download zero npm packages. But those that do, often download them in the thousands at a time. And yes, clean-room CI servers are a big part of that.
As entertaining as your story is, I find it very hard to believe. If you were as drunk as you claim to be, there is no way that you're capable of writing "the best code I had ever written". A high level of intoxication severely impacts your attention span and ability to focus deeply. I speak from experience and I'd wager it would be the same for almost everyone.

If this story actually happened, I'd hazard a guess that someone else wrote that code, not you.
> I think that USA do not see inmates as human beings. That is the only way to explain what happens there. But, they are human and abusing them is as much as a crime as abusing anyone else.

Most people in the US don't. Which, combined with its history of racism, goes a long way towards explaining the school-to-prison pipeline.
I think it's reasonable to see people who have no respect for the law, which is one of the strongest and most basic pillars of our society, as lesser than human.

(Now I'll get responses telling me how some people are unjustly incarcerated. You missed the point)
I translated your example to Kotlin just for fun, as close as possible. Probably not idiomatic Kotlin, but pretty close, if you ask me.

typealias FibPair = Pair<Int, Int>

val fibSeed = FibPair(0, 1)

fun fibNext(pv: FibPair) = pv.let { (p, v) -> FibPair(v, v + p) }

fun fibList(): Sequence<FibPair> = generateSequence(fibSeed, ::fibNext)

fun main() {
fibList().take(10).forEach { (p, _) -> print("$p ") }
}

Honestly I like Kotlin's Sequence abstraction much more than Java streams. It's extremely simple to implement and understand contrary to streams.
Many enjoyable games also came together in extended crunch time. Doesn't mean that's a good way to get to the end result.
the oft recommended f# for fun and profit is good as a reference, but i personally haven't found it good as a tutorial. the explanations are often not expedient and show (too) many ways of doing things to get to the point. i go there when i have something very specific in mind. i often find the official microsoft f# documentation to be quite good and my go to reference.

as for books, there are a lot. none of them really fully resonate with me, although they are usually pretty good, but the book functional programming using f# by hansen and rischel is fairly nice. it is more academic in tone, although it was written a while ago against an older version of f#, so there may be some slightly out of date or style code. the book expert f# is by the language designer, and it shows some nice advanced stuff in a clear way.

i also recommend going through the little mler by translating the sml code in the book to f#. it will get you used to using types and pattern matching the way they are done in ml dialects. you will be able to do everything up until they cover the module system.

i have some very simple code here: https://github.com/nikofeyn/ray-tracing-with-fsharp/tree/mas...

it isn't documented or to my usual style, as it is an incomplete project. i was going through the book ray tracing in one weekend by peter shirley and didn't finish. and this code was actually "ported" from racket code that i had originally started the book with. so it went from c++ -> racket -> f#. however, it shows some representative f# syntax for some numerical stuff. i have some more f# projects that show more type-based programming and pattern matching styles, but they are in private repositories.

i personally just do not like python. it feels very sloppily designed to me, and i prefer scheme-based languages like racket and ml-based languages like f#. i have only worked in python when work has compelled me to, and i hated every instance of it. a large majority of it is that python is just difficult to reason about and is sloppy. that and the ecosystem, while vast, is very sloppy. i have encountered countless dependency issues and version headaches with python. it just isn't fun. all the work to get something working in python is just not worth it and unless you are reliant on some particular library, i personally don't see a reason to use it.

meanwhile, racket and f# remain as easy to develop code as python, except that the code developed works and works well. they are just extremely nice languages to use. they are the only languages i have used where it doesn't seem they are fighting me.

if you use python's async code, check out f#'s async expressions. they are extremely easy to use.

i highly recommend dan grossman's programming languages course on coursera. the first module uses sml (you can basically directly port all the code and your own code to f# for fun and very easily). the second module uses racket. and the third module uses ruby. i recommend it for any programmer and especially for some not used to the functional style.

Despite the title and article's claims, it appears that the researchers found the same:

> The third experiment - exposure to music with familiar lyrics- impaired creativity regardless of whether the music also boosted mood, induced a positive mood, was liked by the participants, or whether participants typically studied in the presence of music.

Given that they had to specify this, it would imply that for music without familiar lyrics creativity was not impaired (at least, to a statistically significant level) when participants enjoyed the music or usually study to music.

> Both `npm install` and `npm ci` respect the lock file

This is not correct. `npm install` will update your dependencies, not install them, disregarding the package versions defined in the lock file.

It feels like you are not getting the point of having a lock file in the first place. It should be obvious that you can't do an install (which npm calls ci) if you don't have a lock file.

The lock file represents your actual dependencies. Package.json should only be used to explicitly update said dependencies.
