This is a crazy naive take and Id argue almost the opposite. Id say if you want to cut down anti-intellectualism, that might be more of a founded hot take.

Start-ups are foundationaly bullshit. It's almost always some person with some type of observation and a relative level of blind faith for an idea or system that MAY work. Worse than that, almost every major breakthrough or improvement ends up looking completely different than the original hypothesis immediately rendering the original confidence as bullshit. We just apply genius historically.

In the end startups seem to be a confidence game where a group or person basically need to survive long enough for a point on their series of experiments to work and their bullshit to be "prescient."

My observation on tech and engineering is the disdain for bullshit is a clumsy hatred for the uncertain nature of social exchange amongst people. The rules are very different than the absolute predictability of systems like math and logic and that makes people uncomfortable and angry.
Elevator shoes maybe?
To some extent, I agree. However, 15-year-olds are the direct result of their parents' attitudes and teachings so their foundations have largely been established by that point. Put another way: if children are raised by bullshitters who never cared if their children are also full of crap, then that 15-year-old will likely continue on that path forever, unless they have a serious epiphany.

As an American, I am so disgusted by lies that I refused to bullshit my kids about Santa Claus. I informed them that it was utter bullshit but that they were not to ever tell other kids the truth because that was between them and their parents. It really gave my kids an entirely different perspective on American culture and the mass insanity (however benign it is considered) that entire cultures can adopt as the status quo.

Personally I felt that weaving an absurd yarn about something so important for the overall culture in general and for the kids in particular was only going to damage my credibility with my kids later when they finally learned the truth, that truth being that I had foisted a ridiculous lie upon them since before they could remember.

It is my conclusion that the vast majority of what people consider their precious traditions are nothing more than excuses to continue to act badly in the face of a lack of critical thinking.
Yeah, personally, I would say it's pretty obvious that extraterrestrials, aliens, little green men, are visiting our planet and have been for some time now... not sure why this is so hard to accept but apparently there are a lot of people who would rather die in a fiery car crash than admit that the snake attached to their leg has in fact bitten them.

> If you develop enterprise applications (which many Electron applications are, in fact :-) ), you really have to talk about antivirus time. It's not something you can wish away.

In enterprise applications you totally can just wish AV away by turning it off. It's useless at best and mostly serves to just gum up the works and slow things down without providing tangible benefit. There are much better ways to handle security in an org.
You don't need profiler feedback for these things, just back-of-the-envelope calculations. How much data you would like to store and process is not something a profiler can answer for you.

I can tell you that in one of my programs, the difference between garbage collected strings and optimized ones (actually, strings converted into unique integer handles immediately) for one of my projects (SAT solver in Java), handling a few million variables, was something like a second until completion vs a couple of minutes before the garbage collector finally dies due to lack of oxygen, losing all data computed up to that point.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Sorry if this was not clear.

IMHO websites (as opposed to web apps) don’t need any JavaScript at all. Since the goal of most websites is to get as many as people as possible to see whatever content you have then you should absolutely make sure it looks decent and works well without JS.
Why would you think that?

I've had almost the same exact experience in Paris very recently, and my unforgivable sin was to start by saying : "Good morning, I'm very sorry but I don't speak French. Do you..." I got cut off at this point before I could say the rest. ( ...know where I have to go to buy a HS train ticket ? )

The lady scolded me in French for a couple of minutes after which she got up and left the information desk, leaving me and everyone else behind me scratching our heads.

> Fully-closing apps requires them to re-initialize them from scratch after each re-open, which is cpu-heavy (thus also battery-heavy) and slow.

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know starting from scratch was so expensive. I had always wondered (and fumed) about that but it makes more sense now.
This is untrue. You can close an app manually by pressing the bottom right software button, which shows your foreground apps, and then swiping the app window off the screen.

The state is lost and, for most apps, background processes are killed.
I'm sure that's what every person who deploys that phrase tells themselves (and everyone else) that this is what they means.

The problem is that when "making it" is a huge long-shot (most tech ideas) and "faking it" is really easy (most tech ideas) then you end up with a whole lot of fakes that never make and a bunch of people who either need to come to grips with the fact that they are basically frauds or who will simply spin it as a "learning experience" and use their failure to promote themselves as having "made it", since who has ever made it without making a few mistakes, right?

Accountability is the big problem, but I also think that the superficiality of relationships is another big contributor. It's the same as accountability, really, just on a different scale and it's done before the "fraud".

I once went through an LGA (large group awareness) program where a part of it was about having small teams and buddies keeping each other accountable to their personal goals. There was a phrase that came out of that when people who were supposed to be holding each others accountable would both fail in their goals because neither wanted to call the other person out for fear of being called out themselves, or out of a sense of hypocrisy for giving someone shit when they had not finishing their own goals.

This was called "Cosigning each others bullshit" and I think it's what happens more often than not in high level business/political dealings. We'd have a lot less high-profile fraud/incompetence cases if more people had the courage to keep other people honest before it got to that point.

There is one point in the article - that "teenage boys are bigger bullshitters than teenage girls" - which I have independently verified.

Some of these facilities have thousands of employees. A few hundred firings in a year seems, at a glance, plausible.

In my experience when I was younger, low skill labour in warehouses often were employed with a wide net. Hire just about anyone and then fire the ones who show up drunk, high, not at all, slack off, pick fights, etc.

It's hard not to sound politically incorrect but these jobs attract unemployable people and they end up doing unemployable things and find themselves fired. My wife has similar stories about a Chrysler plant but holy cow those ones are unionized and never get fired.

I don't have all the facts but I'm just saying that on the surface, this is just kind of how it works. For all I know there may truly be something rotten and Amazon is being far more of a slave driver than is normal.

It's a hemisphere centered on Jerusalem, with North to the left. "ROMA" is across the Med to the left of the labyrinth just below center. At top right, it's easy to identify the Persian gulf and Red Sea; it appears that Somalia is disconnected from the African continent and infested with Dracones. At bottom left are the British isles, you can see "LONDONIA" just up the Thames, across the English channel from the Seine which flows from the cathedral representing Paris.

The circular outside edge represents the oceans, compressed to a narrow band of shoreline - the Atlantic at the bottom, Arctic at the left, Pacific at top, Indian at the right. There's some discussion as to whether the round world was assumed to be spherical or disc-shaped, with most historians assuming that it was believed to be spherical and that the oceans were simply connected on the 'back' of the map (where the Americas would be).

It's an interesting projection, expanding some areas to give detail based on religious importance and familiarity more than absolute geographical size.
I don’t think there is any inverse relationship between intelligence and a tendency to bullshit. There are smart bullshitters and stupid ones. The stupid ones tend to be obvious. The very smart ones end up running countries and corporations.
The research shows that structured interviews do have better predictive performance than unstructured interviews. But that effect is entirely mediated by their higher correlation with IQ.

In other words, structured interviews are better because they're less noisy measures of intelligence. The takeaway very much is IQ uber alles.

It's definitely good when you can make the time and space to build up all the concepts from scratch. In retrospect, I should have done this with my last trainee. Smart person, fast learner, but so many pieces were missing. The worst thing was being deeply hesitant to do anything at a command prompt. There's only so far you can get if everything you do is mediated by a GUI. If I had it to do over, I would have forbidden IDE use for the first month. I think it was deeply damaging.

I didn't find any paranoia in the parent/above comment. I think it is a very realistic possibility.

Many auto pilots, certainly Tesla's, work by using cameras. And, if you do fool cameras then the car might indeed kill you.
Hell, they have a hard time keeping in the lane already - a couple of people have already died. Imagine what will happen if you fool it - OOPSE

And, if it goes to court, whoever has more expensive lawyer wins.

Also, just because someone's paranoid doesn't mean they're wrong.
This is my interpretation as someone who has never seen this type of study and is giving the authors the benefit of the doubt:

Take Table 3. The outcome "O_ij" for each student's "views of abilities" is the scale score (split into self-efficacy and problem solving). The table shows bullshitters think they're awesome, giving positive scores (higher than the mean). Bullshitters were previously categorized into four groups by asking questions about what math terms they were familiar with, including terms that don't exist (maybe they were familiar with 0,1,2, or 3 of the fake terms)

Control for other factors by adding levers for achievement, socio-economic status, gender and school. These are the capital letters, set by test scores, etc. Students from each school will have a different u_j, probably higher for higher-performing schools B.S. is probably a matrix of ones, or 1-4, or something.

Perform a regression (let a computer do some matrix math to solve for unknown variables), using all of the students as data points. Each student will end up with a different set of italic letters indicating how much the capital letters influence their outcome, with students who are similar in one aspect sharing similar (or equal, depending on how they set up the problem) values for that italicized letter. For table 3, it looks like the study claims students who have been identified as bullshitters end up with higher beta values ("regression results").

It's possible this explanation is bullshit, though.
We (Remind) have been using Realm for a few years now. It's been great at what it does, but we've started to depend on it less.

One of the issues we found was that Realm works really well with REST / entity based APIs. You fetch the data, shove it in realm, and the screen updates. However, we've been moving more towards a screen based API using Graphql. We have a lot more partial entities that we fetch (Eg. A particular screen might only need user names rather than full user entities), and while we made it work with Realm we felt some pain around it.

We still use it for a lot of stuff, but it's not quite as central to our app as it was before. It's a useful database and we use it for all the database things in our app (caching and stuff) but the elegance of UI<=>Realm and Realm<=>Server has broken down a bit.

> My position is that it's definitely not just a government problem

Sure. But no one said anything to the contrary.

I said:
Government employees get unjust leniency compared to private enterprise when caught in unethical behavior. I then gave an example to back up my claim (with examples and high trust references)

You posted, and continue to post:
"But WHAT ABOUT private sector misheavior, private sector does bad too!"
And:
"But WHAT ABOUT the good government employees, most are good"
"But WHAT ABOUT the privatization of things that are going wrong"

Which are excellent statements to be made on their own. I actually happen to agree with you, I dislike a lot of privatization that is happening. But they are a poor reply to a point that doesn't mention anything about private vs public.

Whataboutism has the following pattern:

Person 1 posts a fact: leniency toward government official misbehavior.

Person 2 posts a fact: private enterprise is less transparent than government enterprise.

The fact doesn't contradict the first directly, but it came across as a rebuttal.

It's throwing true facts out there that sort of contradict a point without having to actually address the point being made or take a stance or define a clear point which could then receive a counterpoint.

A counter point to be made could be: Well, I believe government employee misconduct is more easily spotted and therefore a lenient treatment might be justified.

See? That's an actual counter point. I can then say: 'Well, let's look at the statistics of corruption in each and convictions and we can prove the point one way or another'.

But what you posted... can never be answered in a way that furthers the finding of the truth. It is 'anti government people' vs 'pro government people'. It's tribalistic, many people here seem to have placed me in the anti government field because I posted 1 thing that reflects badly on public servants.

I'm neither pro gov nor anti gov and I'd appreciate it both parties could find a place to battle it out that wasn't my point, which neither supports nor disproves either side. My point is that this (unjust sector leniency) is an issue and it should be more widely known. You are welcome to answer with a counter point. I'm pro-dialectics and will change my mind if given good points with proper references or logical constructs.
This is a particularly good summary, thanks for that. At the end of the day, the only way for 5 to happen, is for a development project to architect the requirements and complexities way before even starting to code.
Several releases at the minimum. The futures API has been stabilized for 1.36, but the async/await call syntax is still unstable (from what I understand).

Even then, there will still be more friction in rust compared to javascript, since there is just more to make decisions about (e.g. ownership, it's generally lower-level, etc.)

To see a full status on async stuff in rust, see https://areweasyncyet.rs/

Edit: There will be a ton of churn as well in the eco-system since everybody will need to move to the new api, but there are api shims that let you use the new stuff on the old stuff, so that makes it a little easier. There's going to be a ton of _visible_ progress this year.
For a public view it doesn’t really matter if it is proprietary project or not. They have tarnished their own reputation even at the development field with their actions.

Some of the AWS UX is okay but the parameter store UX for the web console is some of the worst I've seen. It's difficult to navigate and paginate, and the search function is barely worth using. It would be amazing if they had fuzzy search on the names.
Colonalists and anti-colonalists share the same fundamental attribution bias of thinking everything Good or everything Bad is due to colonization.

First, the Arabs took more slaves out of Africa than the Europeans. If the Africa is in a rough spot today because of slavery, we're obligated to find more fault with the Arabs than the Europeans. Additionally, the Arabs took slaves themselves, Europeans simply purchased slaves from African slave catchers so factor that into your culpability calculation.

Secondly, status as a colony seems non-probative for whether a country is currently a shit hole. The USA was itself a colony, as were Ireland, Singapore, and Hong Kong yet those places flourished. Why is that?
Yes just as it was righteous for Japan to assert itself over all of Asia.

No it's isn't. And this will not be good for the world. The reason being that being a sleeping friendly giant is much better for your long term survival than being an asshole looking to assert themselves. Especially in a world in which other people exist to challenge you, and you are challenging them. Because then they will conspire against you and try to wear you down.

The only reason the US has been able to get away with being the world's asshole since WWII is that it has not really had any real competition in that field. It's just been going around fucking over countries that could not defend themselves. We don't need leaders like these in the world. We need leaders that focus on commerce and leave everything else to individuals and smaller groups to decide.

Also the Communist Party of China is in no way representative of the people of China. You need democracy for that. These are basically fascist totalitarians that have succeeded. And sure the Chinese may be behind them right now, but these sort of regimes sooner or later start causing misery of their own people. Let's see how it is before that happens.
