The BBC does not run ads, and as far as I'm aware does not use any sort of metric you described. It is tax-payer funded service. What they have been doing is copying "features" from other popular news websites, i.e. Buzzfeed, and been integrating them into their own. I appreciate the fact they copied the "suggested articles" feature. I just don't think they considered it long enough to question as to why other websites put the articles half way through and not at the bottom...
Yes!

Also, "jeziňka" is a Czech fairy tale being [1]. Did you know? Or perhaps it's a Polish word play on "jeżynka"?

You must live in Iowa, where looking a cyclist at worst, warrants a fund because it is "accidental".
We have a major bike ride across the state from West to East every year, called RAGBRAI along a different route. And seemingly every year, at least one cyclist is killed. Rarely is anyone charged with a crime. Tragic

I think physicists can say they proven something but it is in principle debatable. Economy is just witchcraft in comparison - please do not give economy more credibility than it deserves.
Urban culture . . . tends to cut people off from physical reality.

No, it simply puts them in a different physical environment. People who grow up in a city learn to navigate in a city. People who grow up in the bush learn to navigate in the bush. We adapt to the physical environment in which we find ourselves. Studies have shown that even pigeons follow roads to the extent that if they take a wrong turn, they will backtrack to a roundabout and follow a different road rather than cut "cross country." And why not? The roads are obvious physical landmarks; why wouldn't pigeons use them?

One thing I'd love to know is how leaders who have faced incredibly stressful situations for sustained periods manage to push through.

Hannibal the Carthaginian general for example spent nearly 20 years fighting the Romans on their own turf in Italy. He had a string of victories and also suffered incredible losses including the loss of an eye to infection.

Despite that he led his men and was incredibly popular. After laying waste to the Italian countryside for two decades he was reluctantly recalled back to Carthage where he served as a statesman for several more years.

He was then exiled and a price put on his head and he made plans to ally himself with other leaders of the day - honestly his life goes on and on. The guy's resiliency is incredible and he isn't the only one of his age. There are numerous examples of similar people from the history of the time.

I suppose your modern day cases like Musk or Jobs are what we'd think of today. The former's challenges are well documented but the latter had just months to turnaround a sinking Apple and restructure the company before it ran out of money. He'd been through many ups and downs and again displayed a resiliency which is pretty remarkable.

I think that everyone's ability to handle stress varies. What I'd love to know is why some people can suffer incredibly and not only survive but thrive and if there is some way in which we can learn how to suffer the everyday arrows slung our way and bear our burdens better.

Where in the world is this and how many people at your workplace cycle? That’s a very depressing story.
Looking at (https://www.economicshelp.org/blog/2207/economics/carbon-tax...) the primary argument against Carbon tax is that companies will somehow tax evade even more than in the past, and companies will move to more tax friendly companies than they already do.

Is there an argument against carbon tax that can't be said by any other tax?
That's really well-put and succinct.

Well you can sit down and do the maths; you mention Cobol, which you can actually map to the cost and availability of developers. The cost of that technological choice just keeps growing and growing. You can compare that to the cost of converting it to e.g. Java (and multiply that cost by 2-5x because it's very hard to make an accurate guess).

This goes for all technological choices. The cost is not static, but varies over time depending on market forces.

A good way to avoid people being displaced is to build enough housing to meet the demand, however there's lots of (probably well intentioned) efforts which undermine this goal, most of the people voting for these things which undermine this goal are the people who originally live there themselves, so in my opinion the rage isn't justified

Read an intro book on biology at university level. I think I read this one, but feel free to grab a newer one:

https://www.amazon.com/Zoology-Robert-Dorit/dp/0030305047/re...

I used to read books on physics, but I think I learned an order of magnitude more about the world we live in from the above book, and it didn't require more than a high school level understanding of chemistry and biology. I read three more books on various topics in biology afterwards.

Otherwise, if you are the sort of person who can stomach a theoretical book, Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed is really the kind of book that takes a while to get through, but you start seeing things differently afterwards. It discusses how large organizations can mean well and do evil.

How I loved these feature phones. Did everything I needed, playing music later even e-mail also it was nowhere near as nice as Gmail. Youtube wasn't an option, but the sound quality was at least on par with my Pixel 2. Also phones were small enough to fit in every pocket.
Interesting post, thank you for sharing your background knowledge.

> It's pretty awe-inspiring learning how/why.

Mind sharing the how/why? Seems odd a beer company would go into infrastructure.
I agree, ideally youtube-dl would remain obscure, but YT has been on to it for a long time. It's somewhat of an arms race right now. I have to update youtube-dl every few weeks or it will simply stop working.

I would not be entirely suprised if Youtube one day just requires actual browser DRM to work at all. That would likely break every single smart TV out there, which is probably the only reason why they haven't yet done it. However, as they progress further on their path away from amateur content towards corporate-only content, I'd say there is a decent chance they'll pull that switch eventually. And die shortly after, of course.
Hmmm how does one store neutrons? Because I highly doubt the bottle...

It seems that in the crucial part the article makes gross oversimplification. I would imagine storage impacts observed half-life.
For what it’s worth, you get better at falling the more you do it but this seems to be offset by age making falls worse.

Let's be clear - you're saying there's nothing wrong with the registry, it's a great aspect of the architecture of Windows, and it doesn't result in applications being tightly bound, interconnected, difficult to uninstall and that bits and pieces are never left in the registry, that the registry does not contain orphaned configuration elements, it does not slow down Windows and in the past 10 years it has never needed "cleaning/defragging" as you call it? And you advocate for modern applications to use the registry for their configuration?

There's a big difference between a hog farm, which no-one's trying to build in cities, and where we aren't doing it for the welfare of others, and say what's more commonly struck down, which is affordable housing and homeless shelters which directly improve people's lives, even if it causes a bit of harm to the people who live in the place already
Maybe I'm wrong. I'm just referring to what others have said written about this mirror universe theory. I'm not a particle physicist nor do I have original ideas about this subject.

How to Choose an NLP Vendor for Your Organization
That's because you're using Windows, which is really, really not designed with scripts in mind.

Point to Ubuntu in the Microsoft Store. Python is preinstalled. You may need to install Python's package manager (I'm not sure does it come preinstalled) with "sudo apt install python3-pip". Install it from Python's package manager with "pip3 install youtube-dl".

You could technically skip Python's package manager by just doing "sudo apt install youtube-dl", but updates are slow there, and you really don't want slow updates with this tool ("pip3 install --upgrade youtube-dl"). I'd argue that three commands are way easier to explain than installing two binaries and clicking around far too many times, especially because youtube-dl needs to be updated on a regular basis in order to work properly.
If you use an online presence that is traceable across the internet, some subset of them will bother you everywhere or decide to make your life miserable when you ignore them. As such, anything that can remotely be seen as connected to you with any longevity is best put online without your name and with a throwaway nickname.

Given that precaution, nothing! Sadly a lot of people don't take this precaution.
But moving to the suburbs doesn't give immediate access to nature - you still need to drive to find mountains/vast forests?

Their time backwards is our time forwards, but penguins at the south pole, polar bears at the north pole, and all the birds in every tropical jungle near the equator will watch the moon and the stars spin across the sky, as evolutionary eons pass.

If we pass through some kind of temporal lens, and at the zero crossing, we come to understand the other side is an equal but opposite negation of ourselves, a look into the temporal mirror still doesn’t unlock the future. We’ll only catch an alternative perspective of now, and we also can’t do much to treat the mirror like furniture. There’s only one arrow of time, and the reflection isn’t separate and distinct just as shadows are anymore separate and distinct from the objects that cast them.
Airline pilots have a legal limit to the number of hours they can work per month. I think this is mostly to avoid the consequences of mental exhaustion (rather than emotional exhaustion) such as in the Colgan Air Disaster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colgan_Air_Flight_3407
An interesting quote in that article is:
"NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman, while concurring, made it clear that she considered fatigue to be a contributing factor."
I've often wondered if there should be a similar rule for software developers. We're required to maintain high levels of concentration for extended periods, day in, day out, month after month. I'm sure this leads to a kind of burnout that goes undiagnosed and which must, at some level, be detrimental to an employer. Is there value in limiting time spent on solving difficult software problems? Say, 30 hours a week for problem solving and 10 for training?

I disagree about the self-serving nonsense part. Sure, it requires a certain degree of discipline and self organization, but whenever I work at home on side projects, even if they aren't particularly enjoyable, I'm freuqently surprised by how much faster I seem to work if I'm not interrupted by chatty co-workers, ringing telephones and other minor annoyances that are quite significant in their sum. Don't get me wrong, all these things have their time and place, but asynchronious communication allows me to deal with them when I feel like it, which is a major advantage for me.

A lot of problems with automation vs manual controls is that the line between those tends to be blurry.

It's not that automation wouldn't work in the absolute majority of cases, and that we couldn't define the cases where automation will have to know it cannot make it.

It's not that humans would always be better than automation: humans make mundane mistakes and casual accidents happens, and humans make bad judgements also in extreme situations.

Looking at the catastrophes in aviation and shipping from the recent years the problem seems to lie where automation and human controls interact.

In the typical case the automation is not completely switched off while the human still tries to take control of the system and some override functionality still triggers the automation without the human realising that.

Maybe there's a sensor failure that causes the automation to misbehave. Then the human controller turns off the autopilot and begins to apply the proper fix but the electronic system, through its faulty sensors, sees it differently and concludes that the human is doing something way too dangerous and doesn't let him. Then a tug of war begins with the human controller where the automation is thinking that the situation is dire and the ship must be saved while the human realises that something is not working properly but in the heat of the moment doesn't have time to diagnose or narrow down to shutting off automation and just keeps applying more.

If only the automation knew it can't "see" properly and the human is already trying to fix things, or if only the human knew part of the automation is still active and secretly, with no indication, countering the proper corrections by the human controller.
Rationing then. What else?

Annoyingly FTS was completely broken on 64 bit platforms in glibc before 2016. This still affects some enterprise systems (RHEL 7 in my case). Coreutils uses gnulib to replace glibc FTS with a working version on these systems.
For me, burn out was not a consequence of the demands of the job, but a belief that nothing I did could possibly have any impact, that nothing I said would ever be listened to, that every moment I spent in that fucking place was an absolute waste of time.

This wasn't how it started, I took a vital yet buggy and unmaintainable piece of software and got it to a point where new features could be cleanly added and new bugs were a very rare event.

And yet, every time I tried to make any significant change - generally intended to further improve the maintainability of the project - I got shat on by an architect who otherwise had nothing to do with the project and a boss who never listened to any one else.
Which also sounds like a good reason to make copies of everything interesting on YouTube now, while we still can.
> plenty of undergrads who need this experience

The fact that they need the experience should already tell you that they're not yet competent at what they are needed for. They should be put on low-impact projects that don't matter, or low-impact projects that do matter with solid mentoring. They should not be made to write software for something that is high-impact for you with little to no mentoring.
It really does seem to have been a victim of (ironically) "schismogenesis" between the disciplines. The elephant has become so large people are only seeing parts of it. Off the top of my head I can see the following fragments:

A) cybernetics, in the machine sense: this is all op-amps and servoes, poles and zeroes. Taught as "control systems" in engineering courses.

B) organisational cybernetics: theory of management. If theoretical, this belongs in anthropology. Otherwise it's ended up in a cargo-cult form in MBA courses.

C) economic systems. Left to those economists who actually bother to do some differential equations rather than just writing thousand-word sponsored posts on why inequality is natural, or making catastrophic mistakes in Excel. Nobody's trying gigantic Stafford Beer systems any more.

D) Psychology and psychiatry: control and regulation seems to have become deeply unfashionable to talk about here, possibly due to replacing talk with drugs.

E) The literary wing: cyberpunk. Started as social commentary, but has faded into an aesthetic; nonetheless this is potentially the most powerful one for getting cybernetic thought into general circulation.

G) Environmental control systems: both the dull and dreadful world of IPCC reports on "forcings" and the more fanciful Gaia hypothesis inform us of how we change the environment and the environment changes us.

H) Advertising, gamification, and "dark UX": how can we use control systems and feedback loops through the human brain and emotional system to get people to put the maximum amount of coins in the slot?

The one thing these all have in common to me is the revelation of uncomfortable truths about ourselves, which probably accounts for their unpopularity. The original article talks about B and D with a bit of A and C, mostly pre-dating the others.

In my opionion the stdlib is a bit too conservative.

It is easy to end up with 200+ dependencies on more complex projects.

Some things should definitely be moved into std over the long term.

BUT: the time is not now. The language is still evolving rapidly. Upcoming features like specialization and a form of higher kinded types have the potential to impact API design a lot. I also really want named function arguments.

No-one wants to end up with a outdated and arcane standard library.
