It is rather interesting that this is on the front page with "Authenticity promotes well-being in life and at work" [1]. I don't believe they are opposite, but it is difficult to achieve both. However, publicizing individual work is absolutely crucial for promotion or even keeping one's job. My personal take is to build something concrete, something other people find useful.

Well, if you like you can replace "works hard" by "is efficient". Or something in between, depending on what you think is fair.
Hardly surprising. What did he think was going to happen?
My BBS was up from about 1991 to 1995 or so. I still have all of my data. It lasted until I graduated high school, which was at about the same time that I got a dail-up shell account from a friend, which allowed me to directly access the Internet. That changed everything.

Eventually, that Spring, I installed Windows 3.1 specifically so that I could use Netscape, which was at version 1.1 at the time.

FidoNet was a big part of why I ran that board, and it was my gateway to the world in the early 90s. I met so many people that way.
I remember when the common core debates were taking place, one of the memes running in parenting circles was a comparison of long division vs how common core taught division, and how much more “complicated” the common core version was.

But in reality the common core way explained the actual algorithm and the reason it worked so much better, and further, the only reason it appeared more complicated was because the people who were targeted by the meme already knew long division. If you took someone completely new to both methods, they’d find the more “complicated” algorithm far easier, because a large part of its complexity was explaining why the division worked, whereas long division was about memorizing a process.
> If you know that to divide one fraction into another you should “flip the numerator and denominator of one, then multiply them,” is it important to be able to explain why it works?

This is, of course, a well known and reliable way of solving fractional division problems, but it seems to be the _only_ way I’ve seen people solve fractional division problems (by using the reciprocal rule). What would be the approach that doesn’t involve using multiplication?

My little brother was always better at Math than me. Whenever he tried to show me how to do something it was different than how our teachers showed us. He was really good at figuring out a method that made more sense for him, and it certainly worked for him.
Right :) except that hacking into people's minds is typically frowned upon here, which is partly the kind of hacking my comment refers to.
I think there's one case where saying a plan won't work is the right thing to do, and trying to "get to yes" will often be a mistake: when you understand what needs to be done, and the (time or money) budget is too small.

If you try to "get to yes", it will often happen that the person in the position of the client will respond by cutting scope, saying "well, we don't really need that part just now".

And then it will usually turn out that they really did want what they originally said they wanted, and maybe try to sneak the features back in in disguise, and the whole thing overruns or else you end up saying no in a position where everyone is worse off than if you'd said no to start with.

I think they should teach Bridge in management school. Often not being in a contract is the right answer!
I'm well out of my wheelhouse, so anyone else chiming in would be appreciated. I'm not sure what you mean by "looks like", but I would imagine other "nonstandard" measures of deviation would also result in a consistent model.

My larger point is that, something can be arbitrary and still be meaningful. If people agree on a common meaning, it formalizes a communication protocol that allows for much better information sharing.
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, you probably misunderstood what elcheif said. Earth is tilted towards the sun in the summer and away from the sun in the winter due to its tilt changing, not due to its position changing. That is what you are saying, what I am saying and what elcheif was saying. What elchaif's ex thought was that earths tilt actually changed over the course of the year instead of earth just moving to the other side of the sun. There is no energy which could alter earths tilt like that, instead the tilt was set in motion a very long time ago and has been basically fixed ever since.

Good thing I don't believe that then.

What I do believe is that Kim, like many dictators, is aware that there's no falling from #1 to #2. He won't go from absolute monarch to being like Queen Elizabeth. Maybe he gets a modestly comfortable exile in China with an ongoing risk of trial or revenge killing, but more likely he goes like Gaddafi or bin Laden: him and his heirs shot and dumped in unmarked graves, forever reviled.

So he doesn't have to be insane at all to be willing to shell Seoul or nuke Fairbanks. He just has to believe that might be enough to save his life and let him hold on to power. (Or, if he thinks he can't, to want revenge.) And of course to believe that other people's lives are entirely unimportant compared to his, which is pretty obvious given how he treats the people he rules. Or how he treated his half brother.

I agree that Bolton and the warhawks are nearly as monstrous. But that doesn't mean that the widely agreed policy of containment through sanctions is driven by them. Indeed, Bolton publicly argued for a first strike. Which to my mind makes him as sociopathic as Kim.

I remember reading almost this exact argument about VRML back in the 90s.
And it is best you can do. Essencially Ads should be the last resort and used with extreme care to not waste a dime. And this takes a lots of focus unfortunately.

Keep the budget low, so you wont bother about it, and use money for anything else than Google Ads.

And its not like i am against Google or something. Actually i have a company that runs Google Ads for clients. So i dont have any hidden interest to criticize Google Ads, contrary. But its the truth and its just something i think everyone should be aware of.
Pollard's Rho Algorithm
It requires first knowing what your “self” is or who you are.

Then you need the safety and space to express that “self” in what you do.

For me, who I am means:

* needs I have
* boundaries in my relationships
* values I hold

Needs are things that can be satiated immediately, through activity (or inactivity)

Boundaries are implicit or explicit (explicit is better for me) edge cases that give me triggers to challenge aspects of other people behaviours that might prevent me satiating my needs or living my values.

Values are concepts that I want to exhibit through my actions in life. Ways I want to live or aspects of my environment I would like to realise or emphasise.

It's always bugged me that AF_UNIX addresses have a relatively short length limit. If you look at the actual kernel ABI, you'll see that the sun_addr structure can be made as long as necessary. The kernel could support long unix socket addresses without new APIs.

I also don't like abstract sockets at all. They're vulnerable to squatting attacks. The nice thing about non-abstract unix sockets is that they take advantage of the filesystem permissions that everyone already understands. When possible, I prefer putting things into a single namespace.

Unix sockets (of the non-abstract sort) also need a way to atomically unlink an existing socket and bind in its place. Doing that as two operations is pretty common, but it's racy.
> And I disagree here. The way I view it, my editor is my sandbox, I keep playing in it until I have something that I want to enter into record. When I commit work, I enter it into record, with a commit message explaining what the piece of work is.

I guess I just don't see how that's not "telling a story". The commit is not a recording of the process you went through to get the code in a certain state, but a piece of work of which you decided it should be entered into record, with a message you wrote that explains it.
The day ignorant people will stop discovering new stupid ways to solve trivial problems and then market them to their undiscerning fellows will be a great day for humanity. Unfortunately I will not live to see that day.

Yes this is a sour comment, made by an elitist that can no longer muster the energy to be compassionate and walk towards the light people that seem to have taken a vow not to experiment, evaluate, judge and, most importantly, use their brain and previous experience.

The larger a company is, the higher its inertia. The more sales-heavy a company is, the longer it can stay alive by bullshitting. Both of these factors mean increased decoupling between doing the work and survival of the company. And if a company is large enough that it has multiple complex streams of revenue, inefficiencies in some parts get hidden by the overall success.
I remember connecting to Fidonet back in 1994ish in Ottawa and asking somebody why we don't have Fiber optic cables in my city. I was still in high school and had no idea what I was doing. I did have a neighbourhood friend though that ran a "Renegade" BBS. Our list of BBSs were in the back of MONiTOR magazine. Wow. So many memories!
Yeah it could be that the boys noticed and ignored the fear. The impact on the girls is troubling though.
Except that Amazon does contribute to less copylefted open source code, so there must be some motivation beyond licensing forcing them to.

I think part of the whole "hippie" thing was to marginalize the anti-war movement and associate it with silly young people, drug use and "minorities".
Reddit has two use cases.

It has the "logged out" snapshot of what's going on in the world/internet use case, much like digg or slashdot or fark fulfilled in the past.

Then when you get tired or annoyed by that it has the "curate what you want to see" use case.

The one audience tends to transition to the other over time but there's a huge amount of people who visit reddit for the first and not the second.
I prefer to scream into the void. but your mileage may vary.

Also it's quite useful for shouting at some company's poor social media interns whom they use as a proxy or alternative for customer service.
You are not limited to Oracle engineers and access to proprietary source code and documentation to clean your systems pants. That makes individual fixes cheaper and the fixes can be shared publicly, leading to additional cost savings.
I'm glad I could help.
A habit I learned when working with SVN-versioned project is to never commit code in a non-working state. There's rarely ever a reason to, if you're thoughtful about your work. With completely new code, you just keep it disconnected from the main product and then you only have to ensure it compiles. With changes, you make them incrementally. Even large-scale changes can be done without breaking commits this way.
Abstract sockets sound, to me, kind of like an attempt to retrofit microkernel-like ports back onto UNIX domain sockets for the lack of a better mechanism. It might be worthwhile to consider giving up on that idea entirely and introduce a new IPC primitive (that must be compatible with D-Bus for it to find any kind of widespread adoption).
I read this as “everything has a price.” Disappointing.
This is all fine and well for people whose authentic self is aligned to whatever is socially preferable in their particular work environment. An all-inclusive work environment is not possible in today's highly polarised society.

E.g. an individual expressing their authentic right-wing views at a place like Google with their 'bring your whole self to work' mantra clearly wouldn't work out well.

The real title should be: finding a workplace where you can be authentic promotes well-being in life.
Have you ever had to pretend to be enthusiastic about project decisions you didn't agree with? Have you ever had to mask what you would like to say to prevent conflict with a problematic manager or co-worker? Have you ever had to force yourself to be polite, cheerful, and friendly to a customer who really didn't deserve the courtesy?

You are driving a thesis here but using only data which supports that thesis. There are many other reasons why, at least in the culture I'm familiar with (the USA) men have tended to live shorter. These are all stated in past tense, though many are still true today:

- men smoked at higher rates than women

- men were more likely to drink heavily

- men were more likely to engage in dangerous work (construction vs nursing)

- men were more likely to drive aggressively and/or drive motorcycles

- men were far more likely to say "watch this!" and do something like, oh, jumping off the roof of a house an into a pool
I monitor file integrity with OSSEC and Monit, but I would like to prevent it from happening.
This is pretty cool! I probably would have never discovered graph-easy if it weren't for this.

One thing though, it doesn't handle errors that nicely, e.g. for input "a" it outputs "null". Nitpicking aside, it's neat.

Edit: I wonder what sort of heuristics graph-easy is using behind the scenes to decide where to place the clusters, etc., and how it can tell whether a particular input is feasible or not.
This analogy happens in some animals for sure. At the zoo they place the antelope near the cheetahs so that they breed more.
I’d say it’s worse than a waste of time. You might make a jocular comment or retweet something that, when taken out of context, can get you ostracized or fired.
This is the same impulse behind many disasters of history. It's a classic "who watches the watchmen?" problem. You can't perfect human society, and attempting to do so through the blunt centralization of power into the hands of a supposedly enlightened elite has rarely worked out the way it was intended.
This makes me very sad:

So, destroying someone prefrontal functions (which is basically akin to destroying their whole personality) was an acceptable remedy for schizophrenia treatment, because, err, we didn't have anything else? How can anyone even write anything like that?

I don't disagree with what you're saying; but the problem sounds more like one of execution than of principle. The US has way too many bad restraints on speech for the wrong reasons; and not enough weaker limitations for more objective reasons.

Personally, I think libel laws around are still way too strong in the US; and misguided to start with - but to the extent that they target not merely negative but factually false statements - probably not a bad idea. Just - the legal system should not be involved; not even as a last recourse. It's just way too slow and heavy-handed. We need something much, much lighter; consider e.g. the consequences imposed by a downvote on HN or stackoverflow: not exactly a lot, but still not entirely without effect. Something mild and focused explicitly not on opinion (so not like HN/SO ;-)) but merely on falsehoods would be much less harmful that what we have now, and much more beneficial too.
Do you know of a good guide to building a single relationship with a mentor? It is something I have been trying to do for the past 8 years.

I'm a Buffer user for the past 5 or 6 years including various versions of their paid plans over the years.

I've used it personally, for companies I was working for, and for clients in a freelance engagement.

Overall I really like what they are doing, their tools, and the company as a whole.

From everything I know, Hootsuite is similar, I just got to buffer first.

There are some gaps in what they currently do in regards to data analytics, but my understanding is it's mostly the API's and third party platforms they are using that make it difficult.

In regards to launching to web pages, I have not seen anything like that and would be very interested in a solution like that, even if it's just scripting in a wrapper to take posts and push them to other websites.
The key phrase is "working on leaving" which is arguably the most authentic act in such a situation, and is likely to promote well-being in the long run.

An inauthentic act would be to dissociate but have no plans to leave. Sadly that describes most of my co-workers at the moment, and sure enough they're just riding the miserable train to retirement for the most part. Not a route I'd recommend.

Canadian Doctors have less freedom to order tests, capped fees. So you see strange workarounds. One strange rule is a doctor can only bill for one medical issue per day. So if you go in with a broken arm and the flu you only get to treat one condition and are forced to make a second appointment.

So Canadian doctors order whatever tests they are allowed and don't order tests you actually need. It is 1000% easier to get a cat scan than an mri even when an mri would provide more details in certain cases.

If they are allowed a certain test than they will say it's extremely important. If you point out other tests that could helpful those ideas are not well received.

The whole thing has become some strange lineitem exercises where doctors are gaming the system because the government keeps changing the rules to pay them less so they find ways to fight back.

There was a strange case where a doctor would give patients a drug to induce labour and give birth early. This allowed them to get over the quota of deliveries per month but there was a rule if the patient gave birth early they could go over the quota. After hundreds of early births the death rate was much higher for this one doctor.. this doctor was working for his own interests.
Working out what constitutes "working hard" would produce all sorts of bizarre situations; a number of disabled or chronically ill people would be richly rewarded for simply showing up at all.

Then there's the arbitrage possibilities; are the judges globally uniform? (How are you going to achieve that?)

Then there's the classic Keynsian "usefulness" problem; you can have a whole load of people working hard digging holes and another group of people filling them in, and that constitutes hard work?

All of us would of course be out of jobs and toiling in the fields, as there is nothing so dangerous in this environment as a process improvement. Making the work easier would reduce compensation, so there's a really strong incentive not to improve the process and to sabotage anyone who attempts to do so.

No, I think we have to have the humility to understand as humans that we can't know the answers to this with any kind of precision, and to be more humble in the judgements that we must make,
Obama certainly did not deserve his Peace prize by the time he was elected and continued violence in the Middle East, started new wars (such as Libya) and expanded the (secret) drone strikes.
There are multiple instances of violent people who stopped being violent and got the prize. Arafat is one example.

Whether the prize played a role in their decision is something only they can say (and then you might not believe them).

So I find this question useless, because it cannot be answered. The mechanism I sketched is generally plausible, though.

"Looks like" as in the difference approaches zero as the number of times approaches infinity.

This means that any distribution with standard deviation of X will behave as a normal distribution with standard deviation X when you have enough of them. Or in other words, any distribution with standard deviation of X will behave like any other distribution with standard deviation of X when you have enough of them. There is no other measure like this as there is no other equivalent to the central limit theorem. Therefore it makes sense to have this as a universal measure of random processes.
