Incentives and punishments only matter for little people. With the rich and powerful, of course they'll do a good job because they simply like doing a good job.

I mean, see also: drug tests for the minimum wage workers, but the CEO? Of course not. Mere employees better not be moonlighting or doing anything else, but the CEO?

> I had to enter the Apple/iCloud account credentials multiple times at different points before it stopped asking me to sign in again

They really need an option to tell it "Yes, I have an Apple/iCloud ID that I want to use with this device, and I can even tell you that ID now, but my password is a strong password in my password manager and I really do not want to try to type it right now...so how about we just finish setting things up without it, and then as soon as I get my password manager installed I can get that password for you?"

It should then finish setup without further Apple/iCloud ID prompts, deferring setting up things that need it.

Furthermore, it should but on icon on the front page named "Finish Setup" or something like that which kicks off finishing setup of everything that needs your Apple/iCloud password.
Having done the Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr, etc. thing a few times before, it doesn't really work for me. I'm not a creative person when it comes to color theory, fluidity of design, what's considered "trendy", or whatever. I just want my crappy-looking open source project to look nicer, my blog post to not be straight-up text or unrelated unsplash photos, or my homepage to have purely Font Awesome icons.

I'm willing to throw a few bucks at that. For clip art (SVG) in a blog post, I'll throw $10-$15 at that. Per post. But the art needs to speak to me or otherwise just "click" with my yet-to-be-defined vision for the content. I don't know what will click until I see it. I also don't want to waste either party's time with my hemming and hawing, trying to put a feeling into words so I can describe to the designer... how I think they should do their job. I'm not the expert. I just fail at communicating. It's much easier on everyone if I see it already done or otherwise 95% of the way there.

Sites like these help me a lot more with finding things that just "click." At least a lot more than the alternatives of finding someone on Upwork, et al.

You make such a great point here. Social media has amplified and enabled these groups that relentlessly create outrage and spin everything to suit their worldview to get inside everyone's head. Following or reading the daily news is depressing enough, but social media just makes it worse by forcing me to endure a relentless stream of people reacting to it.
Because Redis is... problematic?

1. Redis has a lot of functionality that a simple cache client doesn't need.

2. Redis's connection model can lead to complications.

3. Redis's to-disk checkpointing in practice uses a lot of memory.

4. Redis's poorly chosen default settings have cost the industry an uncounted but large sum of money.

5. Redis is written in C. That's a bad idea for a networked application.

6. Redis's creator is a person who doesn't deserve our support. He's constantly combative with experts who have give him good advice about how to improve Redis because he has a vision of "simplicity" which translates to "what I already understand."

Redis is a decent choice if you need all of its features. It's got a wide spectrum. But, if you don't need ALL of them, then pick a simpler and better designed system.
The Omega Sunset (and Sunrise)
I noticed the same issues with tmux and the new MS terminal. The events got completely absorbed.

Also there were a bunch of "crazy" display issues, such as when minimizing the window about ~30% of the time the tmux status bar would become hidden.

Or after I exit tmux or even Vim sometimes without tmux, the terminal's background color would turn yellow (but not the entire terminal's background, just the characters where input / output would be legally able to be placed).

All of these things were discovered within about 2 minutes of using it, so these aren't edge cases. They happened very frequently, and things like the mouse just didn't work all the time.

Edit:

I just put together a 10min video showing a few of these display issues with the new MS terminal at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puzbfs6ws4p8v7a/ms-terminal.mp4?dl...

The yellow screen issue never happened on video, maybe they fixed that but within 1 minute of using the terminal I found 2 new display bugs that weren't there when I tried it months ago.

Also sorry about the quality of the video. Drop box re-encodes videos at 720p (I recorded it at 1080p) and it looks like they are really strict with bitrates too. It looks slightly better than a potato, but you can still make out the display issues.
> they don’t give away stuff for free

Apple used to have a separate, free Safari extension developer program where you can get free signing certificates. Then one day they retired that program and to sign Safari extensions you have to enroll in the $99/yr program.

I highly doubt they made that decision based on the few extra $99 they would make each year. (I certainly didn’t sign up, I just stopped porting my extensions to Safari...) They probably just wanted to unify the developer program, as the separate free program was too insignificant for them to bother maintaining. Same here I suppose. In a way this is similar to getting rid of ports that an insignificant (and sometimes seemingly significant) segment of their user base depends on.

(Not defending Apple’s action, just putting forth my take on their motivation.)
Are you a professional educator? Because you sound like one. Teaching 7 years old divisions is the simplest thing ever. I've done it in the car driving to hockey practice using sharing scenarios. You just need to know what kids interested in and the parents know that the best.
Google finally ends support for the old Google Glass after a controversial life
It's a story I'd only stumbled across a few years ago myself. It (and numerous other technological disasters) make for fascinating reading.

I very highly recommend Charles Perrow's work, particulary Normal Accidents and The Next Disaster. Perrow himself died just this past November.

https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3APerrow%2C+Charles%2C&...

I've been clipping similar stories, under a set of themes which I find related:

- Risk

- Accidents

- Technological Debt

- Techology as Debt

- Manifestation -- this is the notion of manifest vs. latent phenomena, perceptibility, and awareness. See Robert K. Merton among others.

- Denial. Itself one of the stages of grief, which seems more generally a response to a change in worldview and/or an invalidation of previously reliable models.

- Motivated asset inflation. The desire to sustain high levels of valuation of extant assets (real property, IP, technological mechansism, rents), often through activities which decrease net social welfare. Bernhard J. Stern's "Resistances to the Adoption of Technological Innovations", 1937, is fascinating reading in this regard. Stern doesn't quite fully make the case, but he sets the board for the final mate. NIMBYism, Merchants of Doubt, "fake news", and numerous other phenomena can be tied to this.

In whole, the narrative, if it is valid and holds, undermines many of the sacred cows of technological optimism and property-based market economics.

Here we are again at the "Apple-Experience" where the customer base is ready to pay ridiculous prices because it's part of it to show that you can afford it.
How this says something about quality is beyond me but maybe you need to participate first before you can come to this conclusion...it's not like you are taking a credit from Apple where you need to show you can pay it back or rent a car where you need to show your drivers license or something.

I don't even understand what you mean by "quality" in the first place. So the quality of the product is not there yet and you have to pay so they can set it up/keep it up? What part exactly does require such a hefty sum?
Abandoning the Static Site
People sometime reason that the big compensations (salary, bonus) are for recognizing the responsibility the position entails.

Then I try to remain calm: what responsibilities they really take?! The consequences hit those remain, they should be compensated instead. Plus the salary given in vain taken back. Then we still listen about the damages caused!

They take it because they can. If they cared they wouldn't feel right taking so big portion of the profit generated by the teamwork of so many.

That's exactly why the new CEO will push for a big impairment immediately. That way the very-terrible-bad results are attributed to the former execs. The new CEO is essentially resetting the baseline and can post growth from there.

If the 787 recovers eventually, it's a windfall and the new CEO looks like a hero for implementing revolutionary change.
Former Boeing employee here[1]: I remember when the company decided to do all 401k matching in Boeing stock in 2009. It seemed like a sketchy, borderline unethical way to keep the stock price afloat.

All to say I’m happy to have transitioned all my 401k years ago!

[1] I worked in the defense industry. Nothing to do with planes: my company was acquired by Boeing and operated relatively independently.

I spent some time browsing the World Bank's data portal and found another metric that shows similar exceptional growth: number of pupils in primary education https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SE.PRM.ENRL?locations=E...

That one takes off in 1993, about a decade before GDP exploded. Maybe the secret to Ethiopia's growth is just that the population became educated enough to do something useful with the money invested by foreign entities?
As far as I can tell Crisco, while popular in the US, doesn't appear to be widespread or common outside the US.

Yeah, after looking up many Spanish Christmas cookie recipes, I was surprised that almost all of them use lard. I have too many vegetarian friends for lard to be an option for me. I generally sub butter for lard, but maybe I'll make a private batch of polvorones with lard for myself some time to see if there's a difference in taste.
> Yet even this exploitative relationship may prove much more helpful than the grain and occasional squad of observers the US or UN sends.

Any economic program set forth by the West and any decisive intervention to stabilize a country is promptly accused of being neocolonialism.

I recall a few years ago there was a military coup in Guinea Bissau and the West stepped in to stabilize the country by getting the Community of Portuguese-speaking countries (Portuguese acronym CPLP) involved and send ground troops. Even so, it was decided that the ground troops needed to be from Angola and leave Portugal to handle logistics because having Portuguese troops on the ground would help the narrative that the former colonizer was controlling the fallen democratic government as a sockpuppet.
There's really not much in this, is there? Have we not concluded that

A) Modern governments will do anything they possibly can to infiltrate and track not just their own citizens but those of foreign states

and

B) The modern average consumer will place convenience above just about everything else in their lives, but especially any concerns about how their data is handled or its effect on their personal privacy

That the government in question in A, in this case, accomplished so much simply via marketing is a testament to B.

There's some chatter in the article pointing to the nationalities of those working in Dark Matter and Pax (Americans, Europeans, Asians and some Emirates), as though it too is consequential. How much of a step is it to make to work for the NSA as a contractor writing code to monitor people, or a US tech giant writing tracking and psycho-analysis tech via ads and other patterns, to doing the same for a company elsewhere for presumably a higher paycheck?

You could argue that some in the NSA are doing so out of patriotism and their new behaviour constitutes betrayal, but the same can't be said for former workers of Google or similar, and especially not Palantir.

I'm not sure what I'm expected to be outraged about here? The lack of something blatant points to why a clickbait headline may have been chosen for publishing.
You seem to have read the GP's comment very differently than me.

And if someone tries microdosing for a few days and decides that, in retrospect, they were a little less effective and focused in their work, like the great-grandparent suggests? I don't think the immediate criticism of (paraphrased) "It's not microdosing if you notice a fall in work efficacy, because you noticed it" is fair.

Sounds like you agree the threshold of microdosing is defined by the first question, rather than the subsequent ones.

That is, one wants a dose that doesn't make a difference moment to moment and doesn't cause overt psychoactive effects, but does cause some degree of effect noticeable in retrospect.
(I work on Bazel)

This is how Bazel rolls out incompatible changes:

- Introduce a new behavior behind a flag

- Wait

- If there was no push back (and key projects could migrate), flip the flag to enable the new behavior by default.

The goal is to give an opportunity for users to update their code in advance, and get feedback about migration issues.
They did act. Muilenburg was Chairman & CEO and they removed him as Chairman in October. It probably took the new Chairman a month or two to work out what shit Muilenburg was feeding the board prior to that.
But again, that has to be such a tiny minority that OP's list sounds made up.
I'm perfectly fine with the $100 I pay to Apple a year the same way I was perfectly find paying :tenbux: to Lowtax to access the somethingawful boards years ago. A fee, even a nominal one, filters 90% of the bullshit.

I've implemented this elsewhere as well. Charging a measly $5 for an event (and not being chuffed if you don't collect it from one or two people) is a great way to filter out the wishy washy, the stingy, and most of the people who will waste your time without providing any value.

There is a stark difference between someone willing to put >$0 (even $.25) into a group project vs not. And I don't really do business with the second anymore.

One description of such a condition might be the notion of (or for your question, the state of) enlightenment.

https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/what-does-i...

Medicine and science, being subject to the limitations of a falsifiable-evidence style of thinking as well as technical limitations, are understandably way behind the curve in this sort of thing.

From the reading I've done, the underlying physiological explanation for "the enlightened state" seems to be downgraded activity in the Default Mode Network of the brain, and evidence suggests this can be achieved in a variety of ways.

Meditation - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4529365/

Prayer - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.3109/00952990.2016.1...

Psychedelics - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5857492/

Stroke - https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3688936/

Meditation, prayer, and psychedelics often seem to put the rationalist-oriented mind into a sort of defensive, hyper-skeptical mode, but that the same phenomenon can also be observed in stroke patients hopefully makes such minds more open to considering the idea.
More people need to learn that if you leave your bubbles and talk to people, you'll find that they are actually indeed people too, and not caricatures you read about on outrage-bait new articles.

I've never worked with a union, but it seems a little bizarre to me how people seem to treat unions with the same sort of helplessness as the democratically elected lizards of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. If a union really gets that bad, vote them out, or replace them with another union.

That these unions stick around suggests to me that people like them more than they're willing to admit.
Ah, $$$ it is!
If I remember right, the idea is that writing on paper has several kinesthetic properties: the feel of the pen and the paper, the smell, the way the notebook looks on the table, with the current location lighting, etc etc. There’s also the relatively slower, more physical act of actually writing by hand.

Brains normally form memories with all that data wrapped in. Typing on a screen it’s all kind of the same, compared to how different each physical writing experience feels. Those differences give your brain more “texture” to work with in forming a distinct memory and giving you hooks to recall it later.

If you’re interested in this stuff, there’s a very entertaining book about memory called “Moonwalking with Einstein,” which I highly recommend :)

The most believable explanation is that the guru only pretended to take them, or their trip just hadn't really started. I don't know why Ram Dass doesn't seem to consider these options, and it makes me wonder if he's too credulous in general.

You essentially gave people grants with no strings attached.

Why not add some strings to make it fair and potentially sustainable?
Why are you assuming that money is their only incentive?

It seems to me that if the promise of a golden parachute led to CEOs simply not caring if they do well or not, then there'd be no point in paying them well or trying to hire the best. Heck, there'd be no measure of "best", because all the candidates would just have a string of disasters behind them.

There's an S curve to the utility of money. Anyone who works at the kind of level that could become the CEO of a company like Boeing is already quite rich. So money alone isn't the incentive. But thinking of money as sole incentive is kind of characteristic for those of us who actually have to work for a living.

I miss the days when JavaScript frameworks could be built with a simple npm install and executing a Grunt/Gulp file. Now to build Angular I need Yarn, Java, Bazel, and hundreds of megabytes of additional tooling downloaded by the build script. On a slow connection it takes ages to download everything, and even then the build often fails (on Windows I have yet to get it working successfully).

Edit: I'm referring to building the framework itself (e.g. to contribute a fix). Building an Angular project with the CLI works quite well.
>My biggest complaint about Python is that it somehow doesn’t get flak for having the same (if not worse) scoping as JS, which gets endless hate for its function-scoped variables. (So much so that block scoped variables are the new normal in JS, but not in Py!)

It's less of a problem in Python because it has built-in module support. A global variable is only global in the module, unless you import it with "from foo import *", which lazy programmers do but is discouraged by style guides.
