The online chat windows work pretty well for me, the written record usually means at least I don't need to repeat myself to every new person, and often the chat windows are tied to my account so I don't need to identify myself. And, it's much easier for me to multitask while waiting for a response, but we can have a quick back and forth when it gets to that part of the call.

However, what has really helped the most is lowering my expectations. If the other person seems to understand what I'm asking, I'm satisfied, if not happy when they say it can't be done.
I'd be curious to hear you define biologically valid. The heritability (variance explained by inherited features) for those diagnoses ranges from 0.3-0.8 - greater than many other medical disorders - and for many of them there are identified genetic variants. Maybe that's some of the 'exciting research' you allude to?

I agree that they are used as heuristics - and indeed were developed to be heuristics, dating back to the RDC.

Psych attending
It sounds like if you're not the "average listener" you'd be spending way more money than with Spotify. If you thoroughly enjoy an album every day you'd spend like $300 a month from the sound of it.

They also state "Obviously we have no way of knowing exactly how this will actually break down", which does not instill much confidence in their tiered payment system.

I see more anti-vegan militant people than I see actually militant vegans, then again I might be biased. I think the "backlash" is more an effect of cognitive dissonance than anything else, people "have" to push back as they have an inherent desire to justify their actions and beliefs to themselves.

If I have a problem I don't want to admit to myself I just blame it on you, that way I don't have to deal with the problem. This is exactly how cognitive dissonance works and how our minds "solve" it.

Also why would anyone care about "militant vegans" at all if they didn't feel some kind of inner discomfort about it.

The choice for a vegan diet isn't necessarily just a moral one.

Half of people say that animals/morals is their main reason, health takes the other half. Today there are even more reasons as we learn more, like climate (one of the biggest things any individual can do) and fitness.

Also a vegan diet isn't sub-optimal to a normal diet or vegetarian diet, quite the opposite, there's literally years difference in life expectancy.

I don't care what anybody eats, that's their own business, but I like to be factual.
No shortage of people only a shortage of people willing to work for less than market rate. Tesla for example can’t hire and keep talented people because it’s well known that wages are modestly low for a job that expects 60+hrs a week in a high col area
Be careful with these numbers. As far as I know they operate more like a lot of non-profits around DC. Big money for insiders and leadership, but no profit at the end of the year.
Captain Morgan, as we're talking about them, have a bunch of different products. Some are 100% Jamaican rum, and they say so on the bottle.

Their biggest seller though, Original Spiced Gold is according to themselves "a blend of rum and other spirits".

"Other spirits" is an industry euphemism for Grain Neutral Spirits, i.e. industrial alcohol produced using the cheapest base and distilled to 95%, which is something you then buy in bulk. Take a look at these guys, for example: https://ultrapure-usa.com/grain-neutral-spirits-options-sign...

Or take a look at this page: https://ultrapure-usa.com/services-2/spirits-brand-owners/ Want to launch a Gin company? Rum? Whisky? They're experts at white-labeling!

Yes, you have to read between the lines to understand how this works, because none of the large alcohol brands wants consumers to know how their products are actually made, it's all obscured by deceptive labeling.

Also, at the end of the day, ethanol is ethanol. The difference between Captain Morgan's Original Spiced Gold and actual Jamaican rum is like the difference between synthetic diamonds and real diamonds. Yes, both are 100% carbon in a diamond lattice with the exact same refraction index and hardness and properties. They sparkle the same, they look the same, only experts can tell the difference, but a lot of people still care about the difference.
It makes me think of Google algorithm snafus where certain words or phrases are presumed to be about some Bad Thing, so you now can't talk about sex ed or the like without getting dinged as "clearly smut."

In a free market both sides compete. In a single payer system only providers compete. Basic macroeconomic models predict that prices would be lower, and in fact the data shows this. Now you can say that a free market doesn’t exist, but then what is the use of your theories? You don’t adjust them by encountering any data. If I am wrong, tell me what data you have ever encountered to make you change your theories about the free market and government?

BTW I believe free markets do exist, and have always existed - at the highest levels of human organization. Today this is international markets. There is no monopoly of force. And I would like to see data that these markets are more efficient and less susceptible to, say, cornering (eg the Bank of England by George Soros, or international prices of bread/metals/etc. by Goldman Sachs) than managed markets like the US Public Stock Markets.

“If there is an honest and sound money, people will always prefer it”.

Actually Gresham’s law says the opposite. If the exchange rate is set by law them BAD MONEY will drive out the good. That’s because money is a means of exchange, more than it is a store of value. The means of exchange is always the thing you want to get rid of and others will take. The store of value is what you want to hoard. Even Aristophanes realized this thousands of years ago:

That's true, you can have very tolerable roommates. Then again, to women there's definitely an added appeal to a guy who has his own place, especially when you're over 30.
You’re absolutely right. But the brain is a biological organ, a biological information processor. Experiences shape it’s physical structure and function. Whether mental illness arises from purely environment causes (eg trauma) or purely nature (eg genetics, physical injury), in both cases the phenomena reside in the physical substrate of the brain.

When someone has psychosis (eg hearing voices), maybe it was caused by a severe trauma or maybe it was mostly genetic. In either case the person is suffering from psychosis and is unable to normally function in society (if severe enough). In both cases, in principle, we should be able to detect the problem at the level of the brain in structure and function, and should be able to intervene at the level of the brain.

The intervention required depends on the nature of the brain change. We can change brain function in many cases by intensive therapy. In some cases sensory inputs alone (via talk therapy) are insufficient to change the brain to rectify an issue. That’s when we have to consider direct intervention on the brain itself either via medications or neuromodulation technology.

I don’t think lay people understand how profoundly mentally ill some people are and that they can really have dramatic improvements with treatment. Lay people think of psychiatrists just peddling drugs to mildly depressed patients or people who are mildly oddly behaved. That’s just not the case. I’m working with people who sometimes literally stop eating because they think their food is poisoned, or attempt to kill themselves with minor frustrations, etc. And many patients, mostly not that sick, come in voluntarily because they feel they can’t handle some problem on their own. You’re right that much I mental illness is caused by psychosocial stressors, but some people have just intractably messed up life situations and they’ve just spiraled downward as a result and wouldn’t be able to get on a better path without treatment.
So my interface to all of my text files is Redis.

I use the simple Redis data structures to store
the data and with a common interface I am able
to populate all sorts of different tools for indexing
and search.

Then from there I use the following tools...

elasticsearch

https://github.com/blevesearch/bleve

Recently I have been experimenting with...

https://github.com/meilisearch/MeiliDB

By maintaining Redis as my interface engine, I can
experiment with all sorts of different tools in
different programming languages...

Over time I have grown to love Redis as my data store...

Of course I have a simple way of getting the common text
files that I write my daily journal in into Redis.

And then from there its just a matter of the common interface into the different indexing / search technologies.
That's an interesting question. Why would you anticipate a possible difference? Is the cluster running a different scheduler? If anything I would expect cloud-hosted managed clusters to possibly have less free resources due to running the pieces of the cloud provider's control plane.
K8s is insecure, heavily marketed by non engineers, and overally complicated for no reason.

Thanks for your contribution this looks interesting. Do you have any idea if one could tackle this on a OS level and e.g. have a catalogue filesystem on a sub-section of my hard drive?
Let me try this again. Seriously today was busy as hell.

I'm not sure exactly the point with respect to the soil and soil nutrients. The dust bowl area isn't unfarmable, it's a goddamn breadbasket. And if the Amazon, if it's a cloud forest goes more arid, that's (a) not intrinsically bad, and (b) might make it a farmable breasbasket of South America instead of the hostile, relatively uninhabitable place it is now. Although, if it does become more arid, which still seems unlikely, I'll admit the probability that biodiversity will be replenished is low. We might lose some cancer cures or whatever, but gain the elimination of South American food scarcity.

I'm just fucking tired of the doom and gloom that has no room for seeing the potentials for exploitation. The good kind. The kind where South America might be able to turn into a high standard of living, developed world power, for example.
It'd be great if the GCC devs adopted a process for introducing new builtins, that required code review, unit testing, and justification of use-cases.

Some of the GCC builtin wrappers are outstanding, e.g. __builtin_memcpy on two-power sizes, since it can do things that wouldn't be possible otherwise.

Some GCC builtins, e.g. __builtin_va_start, can take away flexibility since it locks into the core codebase nontrivial code generation that's suboptimal in certain cases.

Most of the builtins are neutral, e.g. atomics api, which provides 42 different ways to say asm("mov"), 13 different ways to say asm("xchg"), and twenty different ways to asm("lock cmpxchg").

Other GCC builtins, e.g. __builtin_ia32_rdrand32_step, don't even have the multi-architecture benefit, only seem to exist because some folks disagree with the asm() keyword, and is naturally problematic from a security standpoint when the GCC devs get it wrong.

What's great about builtins like asm() is it's one simple general-purpose abstraction that puts the power of so many compiler internals into the hands of the user at once, rather than being another narrowly-focused case-by-case feature you need to beseech the core dev team to get.
Then just pick one of them. This may be simpler than introducing another language to the project.
You can use Kubernetes to run service on every machine. But that is usually done for support services like logging that need to run on every node.

Is it one customer per server? That wouldn't be a very good fit for Kubernetes. Kubernetes is about running containers on cluster of machines, scaling multiple services.

Kubernetes would let you run service per customer on cluster of machines and scale the number of containers for each customer independently. You wouldn't have to setup new server for each customer.

You wonder how veterinatians manage. A few years ago, the cat had to go in for dental treatment. Chronic gingivitis, known problem in the feline, removal of teeth is indicated. Several hours of surgery under general anesthesia, two or three people are involved. Bill comes to 700 dollars. How far do 700 dollars get you in the hospital? The handshake with the anesthesiologist is already more expensive!
I made the switch maybe 5ish years ago when I felt the early signs of RSI. It took a few weeks of regular practice to get up to a somewhat productive speed, then a few more months to reach my previous speed. Now I would say I'm faster than I was with QWERTY. Also, typing "QWERTY" on Dvorak just feels wrong.

This is authentically a very interesting simulation and I would be interesting to see a writeup if you have one. I will say that you only have multiple proposers if the proposers cannot talk to one another, as otherwise they would be silenced by any simple leader election protocol (heartbeats + node rank, etc.) It's true that the leader election protocol is not part of paxos per se but all implementations will have one, and the protocol livelocks in the unusual case where there's an enduring network partition and the multiple proposers are sending messages with specific timing.

Edit: I took a look at your post[0] and it is interesting. I'll take a look at CM.

The Art of Problem Solving series of books is relatively affordable to an adult with disposable income and they all come with complete solution manuals: https://artofproblemsolving.com/store/list/aops-curriculum

You could spend a year or two doing ~20 problems per day while scheduling review of definitions you've understood and problems you've solved with spaced-repetition software like Anki.

Afterwards, you'd be prepared for any undergraduate mathematics curriculum in the world.
You could use Kubernetes for this- each customer having their own pod/set, all of which are based on the same template. Kubernetes would help make the overall management a lot easier via abstracting the underlying infrastructure (100 individual services is enough for the cost/benefit ratio of the abstraction to kick in).

That being said, a configuration management tool like Ansible would also fit your use case nicely. Ansible in particular is great for the'I need 100 identical application stacks' scenario.

If your application stack is already containerized, you have the luxury of following either path. It really depends on how much overhead you experience from managing the underlying infrastructure. You can imagine the option range as something like "bare individual VMs w/ Docker >>> Managed container service >>> Managed Kubernetes service".
To me the connection between the golden ratio and beauty is tied to iterated function systems, and fractals. I feel like it boils down to efficiency of representation of a larger system. If a complex, balanced system can be represented efficiently by a small number of values, variables, and operations, then it's favored by the universe somehow, and by our mind's eye. It "snaps into place" more easily, it aligns with itself, and therefore our conception of it is also performed with less work, more "naturally."

The golden rectangle and spiral represent this best to me. The whole is found in the parts, infinitely, the further you iterate, like looking down a well and seeing all the way to the bottom. It's gratifying to conceive of more by doing less. I wish I were better with words, but I do feel φ's beauty somehow boils down to efficiency of representation.
Both are better than DOT which is an absolutely useless standard.

Why wouldn’t you? Easy: because you probably don’t have enough “services” to make the costs of kubernetes worthwhile.

If you do, then congratulations, you’re in the top 5% of dev teams, and you presumably also have a well-funded organization of people supporting your complicated deployment.

Otherwise, it’s the common case of bored devs overcomplicating systems that can be deployed more
cheaply and safely with simpler technology.
I use `pass` to manage my passwords, and I have a git repository where I run "vim `date -I`" every day to make a daily journal of what I'm doing at work.

But I never thought of combining the two to get encrypted files. Very neat.
>>We're not meant to do stupid bullshit we see no value in doing our entire lives.

Then stop doing meaningless things. We're all part of a grand story, and we can play our part to move it forward.

When you find a meaningful purpose, then you'll be able to tolerate the years of trudging forward that it can take achieve goals.

Nothing is more meaningless than abandoning your role in the world with chemical distractions.

Yes, that's why I put it in quotes. There should be an appropriate sized pool of specialty-whatever to be effective in a society. But also plus some. Just so you don't have an accidental brain drain. But output is important too. Even though there's lots of hate for commercialized farmer. It now takes less farmers to make X amount of food for a larger amount of non-farmers. But, we can also argue quality and environmental impact of said practices due to such wide scale farming practices.

I think this might have been the early definition of STEM or I'm just an idiot. But I thought it was Sci, Tech, Engineering and Medical. Math just seems redundant to me in that. Because those 4 career fields are for the most part, all well paying and technical. So... yea, I guess... But also, I'm not for the end of art class or anything like that. I actually think music and art need to have a better focus of doing rather than just the history to students. Good for the soul, if you will. Something I've been working on myself recently.

Well, you know the saying that anything technologically advanced enough to someone just seems like it's magic? To me, that's exactly why people need to at least dip their feet into all STEM.

And I think you said it best. Things like philosophy, the humanities and so forth, are a force multiplier. However, no matter how large the number is multiplied against 0, you still get 0. I think STEM is your base score and the rest are force multipliers. My opinion.
To my mind, this is a little too much like saying that diagnoses of AIDS were "scientifically meaningless" until HIV was definitively isolated. A syndrome isn't devoid of predictive power or other practical meaning just because we haven't identified a perfect biomarker or treatment protocol or diagnostic threshold for it. There's still considerable debate over the full etiologies of diagnoses like (for example) multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy, but we can't wave our hands and attribute those to deficits of character or an oppressive society or "unresolved trauma" [1] the way we can with mental illness diagnoses.

Sure, the DSM is basically a dumping ground for various obnoxiously imprecise syndromes that don't clearly belong to another specialty such as neurology or endocrinology. But that doesn't make those syndromes "scientifically meaningless". It's one thing to say that these definitions should not be taken as gospel for determining future research directions. It's something else entirely to say that they're "meaningless" and "not fit for purpose" based on a philosophical notion of "meaning" or "purpose" that itself isn't rigorously defined.

[1] It's funny how "biopsychiatry" is expected to identify precise molecular pathways or anatomical derangements or genetic markers, but once the paradigm is flipped to the more psychodynamic approaches, rigor suddenly doesn't matter so long as we can tell a compelling story about how our experiences shaped us.
If you're writing Ansible playbooks and keeping a deep understanding of the system in your head, just call yourself "devops" or "SRE" and roll with it....

More to the point, anyone who can write good, robust Ansible playbooks and who can actually deeply understand the system to the point of being able to debug a misbehaving system and reproduce problems effectively is necessarily a competent, qualified developer. You might not enjoy writing large new software systems (I don't) but you certainly could do it, you have all the skills and then some. If you're a qualified operator who is also a qualified developer, "devops" is probably a more accurate descriptor than "sysadmin" (even though, yes, in theory "devops" is not a job title but an organizational practice).
AFAIK it isn't, but it's Google, so there's a 50/50 chance it could be deprecated tomorrow.

I'm dying to jump ship whether or not it's deprecated though, because the web and Android apps are just unbearably shitty.

The web app simply fails to keep up with my typing speed (I can't even imagine how they accomplish this), and the unread counts are usually incorrect.

The Android app doesn't even handle the compose SMS intent, so you can't use it as the default for outgoing messages... this was briefly fixed when they folded Voice into Hangouts, but then broken again 6 months later or so when they decided to roll that back.
Thanks! I did a port of it and this could be my way in to discovering more about SAT solvers. (Doing ports is one of my preferred means of jumpstarting my motivation for more complex areas of study).

>> Apps that include children in their target audience need to adhere to our new policy requirements including appropriate content, showing suitable ads (learn more), and disclosing personally identifiable information correctly.

so youtube kids would be a flagrant violation of their new policy. why do they keep recommending this app to me? shouldn't it just be demonitized like they do to countless devs for unstated reasons.

Google has less than zero trust stored and they should probably learn that this means they will lose money (sooner or later).

This is my armchair theory on it. I imagine someone smarter than I has speculated on it, but I've yet to encounter anything on the subject.

I'd also like to read anything on comparisons of the two from people who are experienced in both, although I suspect interactions between the two may skew things a bit.
