I challenge you to find a more succinct term that gets the same point across.

Politically correct speech pays a heavy price in expressiveness, especially of the banned ideas. It is kind of the point. What did I save up the points for, if not to spend it to say what I actually want, rather than gesture at it ineffectively?
Noticed multiple recommendations of Factfulness and decided to read a sample from Amazon. While I'm fully onboard with the material, the writing style put me off: it felt very egocentric and self-congratulatory.
All secondary concerns when you're hungry, cold, homeless, without transportation, without medicine, or any of our actual real physical needs -- smartphones are mostly a convenience, especially if you also have some form of computer at home or a laptop, it's almost never so urgent it can't wait a few minutes or hours.

Every year's end, I look at what the psychics said for the year last NYE. It's funny to see how much they tout their accuracy, but when you actually go back and listen and/or read, they're more wrong than right.

For this year, Psychic Nikki got pretty much everything wrong. The only stuff she got right were the obvious things like "I believe there'll be an impeachment by the end of the year." She also predicted a tsunami on Lake Ontario. I'm not sure how that would work out, but needless to say, it didn't happen.

That's some high-grade ESP for you.
Why isn't it socially acceptable to state that looks are important? I feel like people are conflating "external appearance matters" and "external appearance is all that matters" and demonizing the former in their attempt to ward away the latter.
Full-Proof Ways to Achieve Your Goals in 2020
Naw, diesels do all of that too and their engine braking is minimally effective without modifications. Trucks will have "Jake brakes" installed, but diesel cars get minimal effects from engine braking.

Gas vehicles effectively engine brake without modification, but dunno where all the energy is getting converted.

I do wish alternators would detect engine braking and ramp up electric cabin heat though.
Depends!

Might work for some countries (like banana republic) but I do not think it would be valid case for Turkey. It is not about assembling/disassembling or where the factory is. Toyota, Renault, Honda, Isuzu, Hundai, Ford already producing (yes factories planted) in Turkey but consumers pay custom tax.

They can drop "income tax" for TOGG manufacturer, while others pay income tax.

Like, Amazon, Google does not pay their taxes fully while many others pay.

We are not talking about VAT or custom, it is income tax that government takes some percentage from the profit of the TOGG. Then, TOGG can sell their cars cheaper even though there is Tax and VAT.

If they really want to make price advantage for TOGG, they will find a way to achieve their goal.

This UI looks exactly like LinkedIn hahaha
I've worked with some programmers who were so slow at typing I would find myself reluctant to help them with their "hands on" work, like directing them to try something in the REPL for example, or even just asking them to run a shell command. It was a struggle for me not to excuse myself as soon as possible once they started typing. They seemingly couldn't get a single word out without a typo, and would frequently hunt down other places in the code so they could copy paste that 6 character variable name, etc.

Being able to type 30~40 WPM is good enough though, no need to be super speedy.

You’re absolutely right. Around this age if not a bit earlier people have seen/experienced enough to see things more clearly. I wonder if this is the reason most SV companies prefer fresher meat.
I know you're mostly joking, but it's really not that bad. I think the problem is most of us guys don't have any sense of which photos are actually flattering of ourselves and how to write a description that actually shows some personality (without being weird). Also, the "swipe right on everyone" move most guys seem to have is a terrible idea, Tinder and co. tend to factor that into your ranking/visibility.

Ask a friend (preferably female) for advice on your profile and if you've got crappy pics go get some better ones (or hire a professional to help).

And as for the attractiveness scale, if you find yourself lower down on the scale know that you're playing a game that is not in your favor since you can't show off your other great qualities there. So you need to find people that are of your similar level of attractiveness to find better success.
> I challenge you to find a more succinct term that gets the same point across.

“unattractive” a word you yourself already used. If you read the guidelines of the site, you’d understand the difference and why it’s important.
This seems needlessly hostile for something that affects you so little if you don't have a use for it. I have a huge digital (in the FLAC/MP3 sense) music library ripped almost exclusively from my own physical CD collection, and FreeDB has been an absolutely enormous boon to me over the years. CDs may be "ancient" technology these days, but they sound better than Spotify/YouTube/Apple, have effectively zero* DRM, can be resold, and I will continue buying them as long as I'm able. This is a sad day :(

I disagree, both from a programming and admin perspective, I found ES to be the easiest option. With ES, I don't have to explicitly create tables (indexes) ,I find ES queries and results a lot easier to deal with. A single node ES cluster is easy to maintain, I mean, just give it enough ram and disk space and you shouldn't even have to think about it again. And if you want to visualize the data as an admin, you can slap kibana on it. You can even go a bit crazy here and feed ES your web server logs to have even better correlation for stats. ES also has a very simple testable backup proceee (as simple as a curl command!).

To your point, it does feel like "using a cannon to kill a mosquito". But I still had a better experience with it than even sqlite.
I imagine the laser undergoes significant decoherence in practice.
One thing I found out recently is that at some airports, pre-check has hours, and it can be somewhat hard to figure out when your leaving, and annoying that you have to. Found that out recently when I had a evening flight leaving from las vegas :/
Current dating apps/services are little more than ad platforms; you advertise yourself to the pool of members they claim to reach, and you pay to have your ad shown to more people more often (Tinder's Boost, OKCupid's A-List.)

Apparently they actually hinder matches unless both people are paying. Some of those prices are laughably ridiculous, like Tinder's $40 for a 3 hour "boost", with no indication of effectiveness, and sadly prey on desperation.

I'd love to see a modern service that aims to meaningfully connect people instead of perpetually preying upon them for cash.

On the other hand, the dating industry may be like the lightbulb cartel; if you're too effective, your customers will no longer need you. :)
What a great critique. I'd like to see a similar treatment of Jason Hickel's "The Divide", which feels both terribly important and very biased and sloppy.
Not only should PGP go away for that use case, but it easily could

Says someone who has never had to do it.

very few people would need to be convinced to upgrade it to a better format

Only the tens of thousands of current users who I personally have who would see no reason to change something that currently works and is secure. I have, in fact, suggested a number of better solutions over the years.

Hell...it took us 10 years to convince all the third parties that plain FTP was probably a bad idea. And there's still a tiny handful of very, very large companies that still say 'meh' and force us to keep an FTP server around.

Must be nice to not have to deal with real customers.
The Evolution of Neuromorphic Computing
Overthrow, by Stephen Kinzer really changed the way I perceive the US position in the world and made me question a lot of things I learned in school.

I also really enjoyed Manufacturing Consent, which is prime reading right now for anybody in the US because it's about media manipulation in free society.
Yep! It's been "stable" (>= 1.0) since 2015, has seen a handful of releases since, and will surely see more when the time comes: http://wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=EAC_release_histo...
Fuzzy search and kibana
The amount of mental overhead that type hints reduce is staggering. I love being able to interrogate a variable, function or class and learn about its properties right in the IDE, or have autocomplete let me mangle the name of an attr and tab-complete and correct it (regardless of lang). The alternative is going back and forth from documentation to code, and having to type everything perfectly.

Even just a smattering of type hints helps dramatically, as a few well placed hints on the APIs I know the least, gives me a huge boost.
What a decade on the edge of change has taught me about 'the future'
It involves a lot of essays... I'm learning a lot about constrained writing, something I'm pretty terrible at as-is. I mean, most of the actual information systems stuff is old hat, but there's a lot to be said for improving my writing to a particular format, and maybe it's best to do that on a subject you already know about? (Interestingly, feedback from my boss has been that I need to improve my constrained writing, that my design documents and things of that nature need to be better, more numerous, and more on topic and to the prescribed format)

It's really interesting 'cause the feedback at the online classes feels... a lot harsher than any I have ever gotten at work; I wonder how much of that is just what is expected in school vs. work? or if it's a class thing, like the school isn't prestigious, whereas most jobs i've had, well, it's usually obvious that I have a lot of other choices... or maybe that I'm really bad at this, and at work, well, there's enough I'm really good at that people treat me somewhat diffidently even in the areas where I'm really bad? I don't know, but it's an interesting experience in a lot of ways.

I mean, it's not bad really, just... really different from how I'm used to people giving me feedback.

But... yeah, I mean, to me it feels like you are paying for essay feedback. Like, they also provide PDFs, videos and reading materials, but I can get all those things on my own; it's the essay feedback, I think, that is the individualized thing.
I could see this being popular with blind users. Perhaps prioritize accessibility.
A look inside TSMC
This is very possible.

Japanese was my first foreign language. I could read a lot of Chinese while having no idea how to pronounce it. Furthermore, once I learned some fairly basic grammar in Chinese, I could read some texts with a fairly high level of accuracy.

All that said, I’m pretty sure I sub-vocalized in Japanese.

I will also say that there are words in both languages where I have forgotten the pronunciation of certain characters, but I remember what the characters mean.

Thinking more about this some more, I’m pretty sure that there is a conceptual and/or visual “sub vocalization” that I have experienced where I clearly knew what something meant, but the words to say it in any language didn’t readily come to my mind. Specifically, there are concepts in Japanese (esp classical four characters combos) that I almost certainly didn’t know the pronunciation of, but I knew exactly what they meant, and the idea didn’t really directly translate into English (e.g., 不惜身命, which was use by Takahanada/Takanofuji when he became yokozuna).
Dating sites are female-driven, and females select primarily on looks, as has been shown on plenty-of-fish and tinder data analysis.

So a dating sites without pictures would never work. I hope to be proven wrong, but I don't think so.
Certain individuals may not require an existential crisis to achieve the uppermost stage of conscious integration but for others (most) I believe it to be absolutely necessary.

That is true, but as I see it the use of the dynamic features in statically typed languages tends to be much more limited, with most preferring it as an absolute last resort.
As a slightly unrelated note, how do these sort of databases actually get bootstrapped?

>> GIMP is the least intuitive software I or anyone I've asked in person has ever used

While not technically all of what's covered in CS, in my experience with a PhD in Comp. Eng., 8 years as an AF comm officer, and 3.5 years in the commercial sector as a soft. eng., this is vastly more useful than most of what's covered in a CS curriculum.

The CS curriculum probably made more sense back in the day when everyone was essentially an embedded developer. But nowadays, the most useful knowledge I have is the low level mechanics of how things like the OS and networking protocols work. S/W eng. classes are a bit useful, but mostly knowing how to write in C++, Java, and now Python has gotten me most of the way. As it is, I have almost never run into a situation where most of my CS classes have been relevant. And, where they are relevant, it can be covered by a week course in the basics.

I feel the CS curriculum would be much better service for students if it covered more of the knowledge of how to get things done. And not in a faddish, framework du jour manner, but there are constant elements throughout all the fads that a good developer should learn cold, and are not covered very well, at least in my 8 years in CS academia.

IMHO the real problem with CS is that it's driven by AI envy, and much of what is considered important only makes sense in light of the assumption the human mind is basically a computer, and CS is all about how to recreate a human mind. However, almost none of that line of thought matters in the real world, and is most likely false.
> This also means that the attractive people will find they'll get matched up with nothing but uggos, and then they'll leave.

Yikes. Gotta hope you're physically attractive, 'cause your attitude is extremely not. My cynical take, as a divorcée, is that folks who've been married before will be less interested in the superficial and better equipped to evaluate compatibility. Folks drawn to this site will probably be less interested in the looks of their intended, and perhaps their own appearance as well. And they'll be all the happier if you keep to the shallows.
I'd love to see Blender build around its own image editing the way Blender is doing for 3D.
A lot of non-fiction is about trying to make a case or prove some thesis. As such, a book may try to show lots of evidence, deal with many potential counter arguments, or demonstrate that different lines of analysis lead to the same conclusion. If you become convinced of the thesis early on a lot of the book can seem redundant.

When I find myself in such a position I usually just stop reading but include the ideas I got out of it in my notes. Later, if I find myself needing the details I skipped, it's easy to go back.
Not just on the Arc either - the inline assembler was also available in BBC BASIC on its predecessor, the BBC Micro. I remember you had to put the asm code in a FOR loop so the interpreter could do two passes - one to locate all the labels and one to assemble the result, I believe.

That BASIC also had proper functions and procedures as well as special fast integer variables in zero page, it offered easy access to the whole machine from graphics to sound to ADCs and tape or disk IO. It was also very fast for the time, and the manuals that came with the machine were excellent.

The BBC micro user manual section on the inline assembler is available here for anyone interested in how it worked: http://central.kaserver5.org/Kasoft/Typeset/BBC/Ch43.html
Definitely. Domestic is generally meh. UA Polaris has stepped up their game for sure. Bedding is A+, lie flats in 1-2-1 are better than LH (which is still 2-2-2 or 2-3-2, though if you're stuck on a 2-4-2 772, I'd take the LH flight), and the Polaris lounges offer premium alcohol and decent food. Inflight food and beverages (same liquor as the rest of the plane) aren't as good, and service is still a joke compared to any non-US carrier though.
I only smoked weed when I was young, but it would generally make it worse (and would sometimes add nausea). I have some pretty good pain management techniques I use, and I think being high just takes my focus off them. I also can’t stand the dopey feeling and won’t even take opioids unless I really need to. I broke my leg a while ago and limped home on it thinking I’d just sprained it, eventually went to the ER and it took about 18 hours after the accident until I gave up and asked for some tramadol. The downside is, if I tell a nurse or doctor that I’m in extreme pain, they tend to not fully believe me because I’ll look quite calm.
Are you referring to the real time flag? My understanding is that that is per shard and if you try to pull from another shard that hasn't updated its index, you'd get stale data. Maybe you are referring to something else or I am wrong about that?

It doesn't change the larger point that using ES as your primary database is not playing to its strengths. You're better served using a transactional data store and building your indexes from that.

I think the skill many of us need to cultivate is the opposite one -- slowing down and carefully reading a challenging text. It took me a while to get out of "the final is tomorrow so I've got to blow through the rest of this book today" mode.
I can understand a lot of Japanese words written in kanjis without knowing how to pronounce them. So I am basically forced to read without any subvocalization and it’s pretty tough to understand any text longer than 5 lines.

It feels like trying to understand a mathematical proof that has been written only with mathematical symbols.
Mastering Embedded Linux, Part 2: Hardware
I have to fly to go do some of those activities (or for work), and I'd sure as hell be up front with amenities than hugging my knees in the back.

I assume the marketing is really just to convince you they're less terrible than the (at most one) other competitor for the direct route, and aspirational for a bunch of leisure travelers who aren't going to spring for it anyways.
Elevated tracks probably don’t have much of a problem with leaves falling on them due to their height. The NYCT does presently use “gel” trains on on-ground tracks, but I’ve no idea if they use them on elevated tracks.
> There are all kinds of questions with best practices, right and wrong answers.

Best practices doesn't mean right or wrong answers. Also, most of the questions in politics is about values and perspective and biases and self interest. These don't have any right or wrong answers.

> There are better and worse ways to aggregate agricultural statistics, for instance. And we don't think of that in terms of a left and right

What does agricultural statistics have anything to do with voting? Besides agricultural statistics, like all statistics, can be skewed, manipulated and cherrypicked when it comes to politics. And the same statistic can be viewed differently by different people.

> There are a range of views where there are right answers, things are polarized that shouldn't be-- climate change for instance

This has to be the most naive point any could make. And the only people who believe like you do in black or white are the "single-minded ideological" extremists that you probably rail on about. Ignoring the fact that climate science is in its infant stage and we have yet to find a single acceptable model of climate modeling and we are constantly being told that previous climate predictions were too optimistic or pessimistic every other day. Ignoing all that, lets assume climate science is a mature and trustable science. So what is the solution for climate change? Should we just kill off 7 billion people? Should we shut down the internet? So we end global trade?

> where the debate has been hurt by moderates insisting on a need to treat all sides as equally legitimate.

No. The debate has been hurt by ideological extremists like yourself who have a messianic belief that they will save humanity. Unfortunately for people like you, there are actual grown ups who don't listen to 16 year teen girls for scientific and geopolitical information.

> That's the real problem with moderation

The real problem of moderation and looking at all sides and facts is that it prevents extremist ideologues from taking control.

It's strange how climate change extremists ( on both sides ) always bring something that has nothing to do with climate science into the discussion. "There is a why science and math doesn't work by consensus or a vote.". What does that have to do with your comment?
