This is certainly a position I've found myself in, there's a temptation to talk about ideas you intend to do, but the ones I get progress on are ones where I actually execute on the concept, telling people later once I have something solid to show, or I already have someone engaged asking me about progress.

The current commentary might be a personality specific thing however, I've certainly seen people discuss ideas as a forcing mechanism to get them to work on them, and also people discussing ideas as a way to evaluate whether they're worth working on. I doubt it's very clear cut.
In natural language, an idiom is a metaphor that has kicked the bucket.

(Back when more people were involved in agriculture, they knew that a “bucket” was a type of frame used in slaughtering livestock.)
what is the rationale for disabling SIP?

not only there should be no way to disable this protection, it should be a deliberate design goal to prevent any process or application from accessing protected areas.
What about announcing deadlines and completion times that others will depend on? Won't you feel more shameful if you can't meet that and will work harder to meet that rather than secretly working to accomplish something with no repercussions?
If you are talking about the R&D tax credits there is nothing that says you have to have a PhD. We get a bunch of these every year and we only have one person with a PhD that is part of the research.
I do not find this to be the case at all.

My friends and coworkers are aware of my work on a particular ML task and are cheering me on. Every major hurdle and obstacle I've encountered is met with support and an unending eagerness to try my product.

I am so ready to get this out the door and I'm spending all of my free time on it. It's going to be huge.

This has been a year long project that is the offshoot of another project that led me down this more exciting path. My investment is only getting more and more intense now that I've found the correct problem domain gradient to explore.
I've not yet encountered those. I didn't know they were popular either. Very interesting.
I remember reading about this years ago (maybe this very article). Announcing your plans seems to give you some of the satisfaction of having accomplished them, without actually doing anything. So ... I don't tell anyone if I'm planning a workout change, diet change, side project, etc, unless I figure I'll need the peer pressure more than my internal motivation.
> I walk & work out a lot and I'm finding a lot of the running/training type shoes wear out in 3-4 months,

Not for running, but for almost everything else, Vans and Chucks will last a lot longer. They are great for squatting as well! (100% contact with the ground)

I put a lot of miles on each pair of Vans, they last me ~2 years before the sole gives out, the fabric starts to rip at about the same time.

Anything from Ecco will probably last. I've also never seen any of my Keen stuff fail. Both brands are rather expensive.

That 75lbs number... I'm skeptical.

I don't buy anywhere near that much clothing. Assuming there are perhaps 20% similar people to me who buy very few items of clothing each year and pretty much throw away a handful of pairs of worn-out shoes and torn socks per year, then the rest of the US has to be averaging 91 pounds per year.

That feels very high.
Magnetic Weyl semimetal phase in a Kagomé crystal
I did 2160 out of 2400 (1490 on the 1600 scale), which got me Merit Commended and an Achievement Scholars Candidacy. No test prep, save for basic instructions and having taken the PSAT twice. AFAIC I bombed the math portion and would have scored over 700 if I'd taken it a second time. I was a decent student, but nothing special. That was a decade ago. Currently working in a big chain retailer's warehouse for $17/hr.

Accordingly, I think the SAT is a bit of a farce. Like BMI, it's essentially worthless without context that, assessed prudently, could advise stakeholders on its own, without the test score. Likewise, it obfuscates the true nature of the strengths and weaknesses of the tested. With a 9xth percentile score, are you like me, possessing a high natural aptitude but dealing with the fallout of a mental health issues, a dysfunctional home life, and the fundamental difficulties of being black in American society? Are you a intellectually-middling child of wealthy parents who can afford to shove test prep down your throat until you "get it," and then provide for your professional needs post-college? Or are you a hard-worker who studied diligently, only to exit undergrad to find that your options are severely limited by your debt load?

This is all kind of beside the point, however. We get stuck in this quagmire of discussing how best to facilitate the sorting and tracking of our youth into will succeed/won't succeed boxes, when we should be working to assure success across the board. Why are some American colleges (entrance into which is the aim of taking the SAT in the first place) excellent, and others not? Why the acceptance of such disparities in educational quality?
Let's say there are several independent reports of an important, senior manager sexually assaulting employees, and the HR manager wants to cover it up.

They only need a one or two people able and willing to deliver a cover-up, not the entire department. It could well be 95% of people in the profession would categorically refuse if asked to do so.

If you google around, you will find lots of studies on that subject have already been done, and most of them find, that open offices are for the most part are less productive.

The only way to find out if you are right is to test it. Until that is done, it makes most sense to go with, majority of studies.

That said, you suggestion (about having both types) might work in ideal world. In real world you wouldn't really have a choice most of the time, because if your team mostly works in open office, you will miss* out on a lot if working in closed office. And if majority of people work in closed offices, then you loose all the benefits that open offices bring anyway.

So you would end up in whatever team lead decided that its best.

I’ve always considered the technology treadmill to be optional. You can ride it and be successful, or you can become a good generalist on old technologies and be successful too.

I’ve never even thought about messing with Rust or React or Angular or Ember or Node or Haskell. I don’t know what a Kubernet is and I think Docker is what happens when you take “it works for me” and turn it into a software deployment tool. I don’t surf the Blockchain or care about Tensorflow. There are just too many companies (big and small, FAANG and fun) who offer rewarding jobs working on mature, boring tech for me to bother.

Maybe there will come a time when nobody on Earth is using C++ and Java anymore but I don’t expect it to happen in my lifetime.

I thought I'd weigh in here too. I assume we're talking about driving in the suburbs (i.e., not road trips or the country.)

- Car commuting is awful. Terrible use of time, bad for the environment, stressful, etc. Any other method is preferable for me. I WFH now, and actually slightly miss my old bike commute.

- Overall driving is a hassle. Getting in the car, backing out, parking it, walking from the parking spot to the place. Much nicer to just walk straight from door to door (unless it's really hot or actively raining.) It's a minor thing, but once I got used to not driving most of the time, I started noticing it.

- Driving is stressful for me at least. Just the idea that if I make a minor mistake or miss something, I could kill or maim someone, or even that I could cause serious damage to someone else's property. And traffic is constantly crazy now in places I've driven, so you really have to be on high alert. I prefer to avoid it.

- Can't drink or get stoned. Each party has to have at least one DD, which puts a damper on things if you're going to a bar or whatever.

4 Things I Learned in Startup School 2019
Did you regularly smoke cigarettes before Juuls? Counter-points:

As a tobacco smoker, I was spending $64/week on cigarettes. A friend of mine spends $100+/week. I spend $40-70/week on Juuls depending on where I'm at in the US.

"Going outside and making a little event out of it" is one way of putting it. But the inconvenience, the cold weather and snow, and the glares from non-smokers don't make me enjoy it like you seemed to.

"Life constantly revolving around this little device" -- at least it's a little device that doesn't make you stink and doesn't come with a massive reduction in carcinogens. Ask any addicted smoker who's tried to quit if they feel their "life revolves around cigarettes." Mine sure did.

Finally, the "needing chemicals just to feel normal every day" is a symptom of nicotine addiction no matter what the delivery device.

I suppose if you never smoked tobacco and picked up Juuls for the fun of it, that was a pretty poor choice. But for millions of us, it's a massive improvement over cigarettes.

For me, the Juul is the best invention to mitigate the fact that teenage-me started smoking 30 years ago. Until we can develop a time machine where I can go back and beat some sense into my teenage self, let's keep the Juuls!
I would love to be a fiction writer.

I am not good at fiction writing at all. But this is something I always romanticize about. Something about sitting in cafes or home and typing away seems like a perfect day to me. No need to debug, troubleshoot production issues, attend meetings, submit TPS reports, etc. Just you and your writing.
Also depends on the team.
I normally buy clothes that are targeted towards blue collar workers since they are typically designed to be more resistent to wear and tear, at the expense of not looking very stylish. Since I work a desk job, they last a long time. My boss says I dress like a farmer (or fisherman in the summer), but I also only have to replace old clothes every 3-4 years when they get to worn out, and even then they just get demoted to yardwork clothes.
Pythonista 3 (currently on TestFlight) is another option. I like the custom keyboard shortcuts that it adds. It can also trigger shortcuts, I reckon.
My guess would be unconditional.
We should be asking how we can make these better environments for children, because saying children can't use a public twitter account is not going to fly. Also attributing it to bad parenting is also a cop-out in my opinion. Not all of these concerns are immediately visible to parents. If they don't use twitter themselves they might not be aware of how it can be used.

But on the other hand they are constantly enraged over some perceived threat to America posed by Democrats. They have not cast a vote for anyone without an R next to their name in 50 years. They care very much about the future insofar as it shouldn’t look anything like “left coast ideas spreading.” And in the same breath they can acknowledge that climate change may doom us all. They would rather the world burn than a hated ideology gain one inch.

Unfortunately this sort of mindset is quite normal where I live.

The escape velocity from the sun is 42.1 km/s, while the earth is orbiting at 29.78 km/s. The 29.78 km/s is 3 times closer to the escape velocity than to 0 km/s.

This is the first order approximation reason.
Constructive feedback shouldn't be angry nor emotionally charged. That's just bad feedback.

I also don't think constructive feedback is super rare either. But I guess it depends on the project. eg some projects might have an appeal to different communities who are less often less patient with maintainers.

I think it's also worth remembering that maintainers do also need to be patient with the community. Sometimes I've seen maintainers not handle themselves well even when that feedback is PR fixing a bug or security vulnerability and there's no comment, suggestion nor anything else about the existing code base. In those instances you either just have to accept the maintainers vision (even when you disagree with it) or fork their project and maintain it yourself (which I've had to do before).

Ultimately though, most people I interact within OSS are friendly enough.
This just devalues the phd because the smartest native minds are skipping them and successful images of leaders without them are displgayed everywhere which stops everyone aside from foreign students from obtaining them.

I feel the same too. What on earth would prompt a parent to expose their kids to doing this at this age and everything that comes with it.

I find this phenomenon of pushing these kids to the forefront of climate change protests really alarming. Any call to action seeks to bypass your critical thinking especially when it comes to children. Emotions start to short circuit the rational thought.

Yes, this is a global problem in that it affects us all and needs some global cooperation, but this is not the way.

This will cause more harm to these kids and I fear the hasty decisions taken based on this activism would be myopic and may lull us into complacency or worst do more harm than good.

I wouldn't be all that surprised to find out I throw out 75lbs of clothes a year. Just shirts. Everything else lasts a long time, but dammit I have an uncanny ability to get grease spots on the front of my cotton shirts. I finally just started buying them cheap in bulk. I also don't really throw them away directly, I recycle them into rags first, but the end result is the same. I sometimes only get to wear a shirt two or three times before it's ruined.

Maybe I need to wear a full-time bib.
> What makes you think Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP are not scams?

Because they deliver what they promise, and I get from them exactly what they say they’re going to give me.

Bitcoin doesn’t advertise itself as getting rich. It says it’s a digital ledger and wallet. I can use it like that. Ethereum, a platform for creating tokens and contracts. I can use it to do that. XRP, well that’s one for the banks so I’m taking a punt, but they’re doing real settlement.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP aren’t scamming me. The guy asking for Bitcoin on telegram, yes.

> - definitive sink to send all of our nuclear waste (it would be the /dev/null of the Solar System)

Now, black holes probably aren't known to be gateways to other locations, but that comment made me wonder what if they are, and dumping our hazardous waste in them has far reaching consequences somewhere else, then that in turn made me think of what other cosmic-scale consequences of alien technology might be out there.

I mean, if a civilization has planet-spanning tech, their "waste products" could be on the scale of planets too. Somewhere, a species must be burning through solar systems like we're burning the Amazon.
The trend holds up in other metros too. People get priced out of the nice parts of the inner city, move to the suburbs and turn it into a miny version of the city.

Product Team vs. Feature Team
The Earth is moving around the sun at ~30km/s. The escape velocity of the sun is ~42km/s. So if you start from Earth, it only takes 12km/s of change in velocity (called "delta-V" by rocket scientists / KSP players) to leave the solar system, but more than twice that (30km/s) to slow down enough to hit the sun.
As long as we're talking about libraries, yes.

Stories About My Brother
Why can't they afford it? I remember when I worked at a physics lab at University and each team had many pieces of equipment each costing more than $100k. You'd get quite a lot of compute for that kind of money, especially since AI research doesn't need any other equipment.

There's a valid reason the lower of the shoes wear out quickly. They are absorbing the impact and vibration that in a firmer more durable shoe is absorbed in the legs.

As an ultra runner I used to buy more durable shoes focused on the idea of I wanted to get more miles per dollar out of them. As I'm aging, I now realize the value in the shoes taking more beating than my legs is worth the extra value in rotating my shoes more frequently.

Growing up in poverty doesn't make this an easy life change for me to adopt, but I consider spending more for something that provides better long term fitness/health a valid reason for increased costs.

It seems like the checklist blurs the lines between a language and standard libraries, something that shouldn’t be controversial but should be noted.

The checklist also seems to favor dynamic languages. E.g. does Go deserve to miss a checkmark because you can’t determine if a variable exists at runtime (only at compile time)? I can sorta see the source inclusion checkbox, but it’s not entirely clear from the example if this is testing for a macro support, AOP, or dynamic loading of libraries.
Engineering your ideal life after college
Some gpus need SIP on off because the drivers won't run else. I generally also have to disable it because I run some apps and modify some underlying behaviours in macOS that I find undesirable. I don't think it should be any worse than running stuff as sudo on Unix, where you can easily break the whole OS if you, as the user, don't know what you're doing.

Chrome had a bug and even if it wouldn't have broken the system had SIP been enabled, it's still a serious bug on chrome's side.

Orbital mechanics.

The earth is orbiting the sun at 30 kilometers per second. So if we launched something into space, since it started on earth, it would have that speed (similar-ish to throwing a ball from a moving car). So that object would now also be orbiting the sun at 30 km/s. We would need to slow it down that much in order to "fall" into the sun.

Once something was in earth orbit, it would only take about 12 km/s of delta v (change in velocity) to escape the solar system.
