More time than it takes to productively switch to Colemak.

Edit: you can learn the basics with typing games in a few days but then you commit and switch to it full time and your WPM drops to like 10. It takes a while to build up the muscle memory again and it's a tough experience. Like learning to walk again.
I'm misunderstanding this comment. A hypothesis is, by definition, a refutable claim. It must be testable, falsifiable.

... what do you mean?
I would agree with the sentiment about Forums. I owe a lot of my younger development years to groups of people on niche forums. They can harbor a lot of negativity sometime, but I found that the real toxic ones tended to destroy themselves and because they’re all mutually exclusive to their focuses, it was a pretty natural evolution of “community” if the forum survived for long periods of time.

I think that reddit has a foothold with subreddits, but they’re just not the same. As of now, I’m searching for decent aviation forum communities to explore as it’s my new learning focus.

Never heard of lobster, looks neat. If it doesn’t bother you, I’d love an invite to that so I can check it out.

Overall, I think a singular place where all of humanity “socializes” isn’t realistic. We need our corners and groups that belong to us individually.
Needs to be accessible real time.

That's entirely the point: 0x1C and 0x1E should never actually appear in "normal" text unless someone has explicitly put them there, which is not necessarily true of , \t or \n.

My point is gig jobs must not be the real problem here, so the solution to the general problem isn't tanking the gig economy. If uber and lyft were so bad then people would be taking those regulated jobs that are available instead.

I wouldn't mind if uber/lyft prices went up some to pay the employees better but I don't see it as a moral evil to make side jobs available where you're not paid for time doing nothing because there's not a job yet. Re: healthcare it should just be single payer and not tied to employment.
I consider it a failure of the company and interviewers if they need more than a few 1hr sessions to determine candidate suitability.
Yes, that's the interesting part to me.
On an anecdotal note I joined my local Freemasonry lodge a year ago and while it’s definitely not universally inclusive I definitely find extreme value in the connections I’m forming.

Freemasonry in general is dying - it had a large spike in membership after WWII and Vietnam as soldiers found connections and brotherly love abroad (in the lodges all enlisted men were equals regardless of ranking) but in the decades since, convincing young men to join the brotherhood is difficult. I’m in my mid 20s and I’m the youngest member by 20 years

Edit: I should clarify that FM isn’t as secret-society as the media makes it out to be. It’s a great social club to meet a wide variety of other people over dinners and outings with a strict ban on all talk of politics or religion (an extremely welcome escape in today’s climate)
It's easy to test for in an interview. Just have them describe the solution to you.. at a high level. If it can only be described at the code level, or as a procedural description then there is no abstract model, only implementation.

Usually, I'll think about a problem, some of the inherent characteristics, or desired behaviours then choose some applicable techniques/technologies, languages, algorithms, libraries. Then think about how to compose the program from parts to be developed. This all happens naturally without conscious sequencing.

That's what's great about being current here, I find out about things I don't need to use yet but could be useful at a later time. Or discover something that would have made a past project better if I'd known of it.
I don't know about Gmail or Docs, but IME (also on linux) Youtube doesn't work in any browser[0]; I'd recommend http://youtube-dl.org/ and a real video player.

0: Even with remote code execution vulnerabilities enabled it shows a corporate spam clip instead of the video I'm trying to watch.
It's just unexpected and unnecessary. On mobile I'm pretty sure all the browsers already have it, on desktop it completely breaks expectations for what should happen.

Also it is turned up to an extreme degree here. I'm using Firefox and the scrolljacking doesn't happen in FF, but when I open it up in another browser, a scrollwheel flick that would normally scroll down 1/4rd of the page is enough to continue down all the way to the very end. Even with smaller scrolls, it goes around 1.5-2.5x the expected distance.

Scrolling is muscle memory and the consistent behaviour of it makes us have expectations for what scrolling should do, flagrantly destroying those will cause unease.
Damn you're right. The reason for the broken github links is because I moved everything into an organisation instead of my personal account.

They're fixed now.

The profanity I'm comfortable with

The Random Images are because I'm busy writing the php/satis service and I just prioritised that over offering a blank website.

The docs are on the github, check out the php-service, it's working (within reason) right now.

The current status is that I can take the satis generated files and serve them, I'm working now on actually generating the package data dynamically from a database.

Maybe you're right about the sizzle thing. But I've seen worse on this site. So I guessed I wanted to gauge interest as much as I wanted to show off, see who was interested.
You could argue that, but I would be inclined to question how advanced a civilization was that didn't prosper enough to alter the environment. A civilization that is "advanced" should be fairly good at logistics, and that leads to a large population, which leads to a large environmental impact.

How in tune with nature or whatever people in a society are on an individual basis wouldn't affect the total impact if whatever they are doing works well enough that everything keeps growing. I'm kind of thinking of Jevon's paradox.
If configuration starts becoming more complex than looking up key value pairs, why not just write it in the programming language you are using? More languages / serialisation just adds another layer of complexity. Config as code is actually really neat.
That's literally at the beginning of the article linked.
I'm feeling both really pissed and validated right now. I thought this was going to just be a normal thoughtless config language that would only be successful as a Google project. Then I looked at the theoretical basis page. I have no formal proof about this, but I've been talking about this type of a type system with my parents and high school CS teacher for a while now!
My idea sounds like this: a value is simply an actual binary string. The "type" that classifies any data is described as a formal grammar, where the binary string is a formal language. If the language can parse a given binary value with the formal grammar, that value is an element of the set (type). This naturally leads to a structural type system which can be described using existing set theory and implemented using existing parsers and formal language theory. Of course, this leads to type -> type functions which describe dependent and refinement types naturally.
It's great to see this idea being broadcast on the front page here, as I can see it very clearly as a superior type system. I'm really regretting not writing a formal article about it sooner!
I can be disappointed when viewing a web page while simultaneously being disappointed in humanity's collective response to climate change. Context matters.
I earnestly believe that "Paxos is impossible to understand" is a baseless meme, a sort of learned helplessness in the CS community. I understand Paxos perfectly well. You can see it all laid out there in the TLA+ spec, and explained in many videos. It is absolutely untrue that only Lamport understands Paxos.
Most people have no idea how much big houses and sports cars cost either. A while ago my girlfriend paid $30000 facility fee for a 5 hour stay. Plus several $10000 more for surgeon, anesthesiology and others. Who could live on that?

Add: Some people here don't seem to understand sarcasm.
>An approved and verified word-by-word upload of it, preferably on some public institution's servers.

Which servers do I have to visit to verify the verification and whose approval would this all rely on? With books, there are copyright libraries containing printed physical artifacts that I could use as a verification of a given printed text.

Also, I have the book and can stay immersed in it far easier than trying to read the same from a screen. I have read plenty of short stories on screens, but have abandoned every attempt at reading a full length novel that way, whereas in book form, I can finish a novel in a night. Books are simply better suited for this job, at least for me.
you are probably right. Felt like the documentation for borgcfg was extremely hard to just find. Maybe I'm wrong about this. This is also not the place to discuss this probably.

But GCL made it so whatever variable was actually being used by borgcfg was obscured by layers upon layers of imports.

And how do you imagine that it would happen that Dropbox would randomly trash the contents of your files?

Lots of ways. Suppose they tried to implement a 3-way merge system (a la git) to resolve conflicts in your synced files. It's easy to see that going terribly wrong if they implement it incorrectly.

It's proprietary software as a service. That means they could conceivably make a breaking change like that without even notifying you, the user, and cause data loss.
Paxos livelocks in a very unstable state which requires multiple independent nodes to sent specific messages at specific times. If you add random intervals between retries, the probability of staying in a livelocked state quickly grows astonishingly low.
It does appear that people have attempted to create such an experiment.

Vim has an encryption feature. But I can’t sync my notes with my mobile device. An encrypted notes app that can be accessed from a desktop and a mobile device would be nice.
What tools are you using to manage all the data/indexing it for search/etc? I've gotten into journaling just this year, and have honestly been contemplating building my own proprietary system for managing them because of how crucial I feel it's become to my lifestyle, but I'd obviously love the opportunity to use something that's already useful.
Still too long to post it here..

So right now the PHP service is capable of running and if you provide it the satis generated "include" files, it'll serve the packages to composer and it'll install correctly.

Right now I'm working on authorization so you can provide packages to public, or private, depending on your auth level.
Curious, do you really mean multitouch, or just a trackpad with two finger gestures? I only use the latter.

I got a Surface Go with the intention of running Linux on it but Firefox and WSL/bash works well enough for me. And it has a decent trackpad. The Surface Pros can run Linux with varying degrees of success and is what I'll be looking at when I move away from Mac as they're lighter than competing laptops.
Really? My company pays a lot of money for some support contracts. We get a lot of attention, E-mails and meetings from sales people and evangelists but not too much in terms of actual solutions for problems. Basically a lot of hot air.
For such life-and-death critical jobs involving routine and mundane steps, we would be wise to employ a memory aid system. One good example is the way Japanese rail-workers wear white gloves and point at things [1] as they complete their routine checks.

I realize I'm a bit late to this party but here's how I read a book I don't want to forget about:

1. Before starting, take a fresh sheet of paper and enumerate the chapter numbers of the book. Each on a separate line.

2. After finishing each chapter: stop reading, contemplate the main message and try to pen it down at the corresponding chapter numbers of step 1. Focus on writing it in your own words / rephrasing. Key question for chapters >1: what information did I forget to mention in my microsummary until now? Include that in the new summary, don't edit the old one.

3. Turn the page of your sheet after completing the book. Now write a (max) 1-page summary of the book without looking at your other notes.

4. Compare the summary with your notes. Satisfied? Ready! Not satisfied? Get another sheet and rewrite your 1-page summary, taking extra care to mention the missed points of the first summary.

My experience is that you don't really need the chapter notes while writing the summary, since it is now part of your long-term memory because of the writing.

Bonus: 1-page, personal summary of key points in the book you just read. If you forgot the points of a book, take it off the shelf and consult your 1-page summary.

YMMV but it works for me.
A talk about how the collapse of industrial civilization is a physical inevitability at this point.
consider a total budget for customer service, why not hire 2 or more customer service subcontractors on the following contract: customer questions are randomly assigned, and money flows proportionally toward the company with the better customer satisfaction scores?

any question a subcontractor has not enough information for will be between the customer service contractor and the original company, and they don't need to be afraid of insisting the original company resolve a real fundamental issue with the product as the other subcontractor faces the same issues, which has the side effect of the subcontractors summarizing a large number of complaints for the original companies product engineers etc

consider how for a long time many manufacturers didn't want to spend the time and effort to fix some linux driver, not because they couldn't but because they didn't want to plough through 10k complaints or requests, of unknown similarity or difference, and having the original high wage engineers plough through them is uneconomical, so have the subcontractor summarize the issue concisely yet precisely
So far I still manually trigger a regeneration but it's only a matter of time till it just runs automatically on any update.

The main problem has been with Puppeteer, there is a chance it will just randomly crash at any point and it feels like there are a million little race conditions where you need to wait or keep retrying to access an element after it says a page has loaded so I have a lot of ugly code in my puppeteer-helper like:

while (true) {
try {
element = await active.$('#element')
} catch (error) {
}
if (!element) {
sleep(100)
continue
}
break
}

Another issue only pertained to getting the simulated device screenshots, switching the viewport configuration reloads the page which for me makes any state like "yes, you just deleted x" be an "x does not exist" error so at the moment I get around that by doing each device independently which takes a fair bit longer where slow APIs are involved.

This is one of the 'recipes' -

https://github.com/userdashboard/userdashboard.github.io/blo... with some glue for Puppeteer v1 so a bit WIP still - https://github.com/userdashboard/userdashboard.github.io/blo...

The end result I think is really cool:

https://userdashboard.github.io/administrators/stripe-subscr...

In the final incarnation people using my software will be able to point the screenshot generator at their own website and regenerate all the screenshots so they can reuse the documentation.
The idea's in media and the news necessarily end up dumbed down to appeal to a wide variety of people. There's also a bunch of things you just can't say if you're broadcasting to millions. Even reddit, hackernews and niche forums end up being rehashes of the same thing. Almost all of it is tainted by some commercial or political agenda as well.

Once you get bored and start to see the patterns, books are there to expand your worldview.

Around here 2g phones have stopped working people were informed 2-3 years before it being implemented that 2g phones will no longer work. So sms being killed off is not out of the question. Majority of the people in asia got mobile phones in smartphone era where they already had a WhatsApp of similar so sms is not as big a thing as it is in North America.

I am starting to disagree with what I an also starting to call “The Religion of STEM”. I say this as a card-carrying believer. And yet, I am starting to leave yet one more religion behind in favor of what I think is truly lacking with our approach to education:

Entrepreneurship, business, personal finances and multiple servings of critical reasoning. And more...

Kids, after thirteen years of schooling, are handed to society with virtually no marketable skills whatsoever. Zero. The only two paths they have are:

-College

-Stacking boxes at Office Depot (or making coffee, etc)

Knowing how to code, I hate to say, is the last thing most people need in life. It is, without a doubt, a useless skill for the vast majority of HS graduates. What we should be teaching, we do not.

They need to learn all of the above as well as walk out of school with one or more marketable skills.

Love STEM. I even mentor a local HS robotics team. We need to do more. Education is broken.
Are they getting that worth? If it costs 500k to service that account then it makes sense to continue that level of support. If it costs 2 million, support quality will drop quickly.

I'll note that he says he works in the video game industry, where infra engineer/sysad/etc salaries are, in my anecdotal experience, significantly lower than even run of the mill positions in "regular" companies, and especially lower than SV/startup/big tech companies. Offers I've received from several game companies were less than 50% of what I had from other companies, and I was told when I tried to negotiate that they wanted people that were passionate about games and what they were building, and not people just looking for a cushy job. That can change the economics on the situation.

The first is a map of someone's stereotypes. No data is presented to back it up, and "traditional" is a meaningless weasel word.
I just can't go back to a roomie situation due to having a cat (most of those places forbid pets) and wanting to bring girls over without asking for permission and having awkward introductions. The freedom of my own pad is worth the occasional isolation pangs.
I hear anecdotally about these "levels" and it's an obvious strategy, but in my experience, I usually get paid back without escalation (that's not to say they aren't escalating the matter discretely on their side w/o passing me up a level).

The only obvious way they might be masking it is if I have to call back another day but that doesn't seem like I get through to anyone differently than if I'd just called up (thus I suspect it would be level 1)

Sorry, just saw this. The Open Society and its Enemies is the big winner for Popper imo.

Short answer: it’s impossible.

Medium answer: the attempt itself is counterproductive and misunderstands how we use language.

Long answer: aside from being impossible, the impulse is related to Platonic essentialism, which is the philosophical spawning ground of authoritarianism and has stifled honest inquiry for circa 2k years.
