I experienced some things in meditation, consistent with Buddhist cannon.

I encountered a “judge” mechanism, that manifested as an emotion. It “knew everything” (makes sense, it was basically me pointing the finger at me) and it wasnt interested in talking things out. It wants to be happy, and it blames me for its unhappiness. It was a terrifying feeling, very painful.

I believe non-meditators experience this during death, and that “wild part” of us comes back to have one last conversation, and a settling of debts.

Ive spent some time doing vipassana, exploring my inner world -

I also read a lot of carl jung, and come from a family of non religious mental health practitioners. So i dont consider myself clueless, or particularly naive or impressionable.

After that intro ... i experienced some deeply disturbing things: bodily convulsions and pains, which subsided after some time too, and were experienced on an emotional level (meditation shuts/slows down thinking mechanisms, to stop generating mind chatter) -

when the silence increases inside our head, mind chatter disappears but something else takes its place .. emotions, deep intense emotions start to rise - its during those moments of deep mind silence that some pretty bad feelings start to arise inside me, of something deeply unhappy about how im living my life, because it wants to be happy, and i am in this body, is its tool. it wasn't just angry, it was full of grief, and so scared to the point of terror.

Again, it wasn't a discussion, i got the feeling it a prt lf me that wasnt interested in talking things out (it knows everything about me already, its me) it was a deep emotion of intense meaning, and terror and loneliness.

I didn't give my feelings significance before, im also still an atheist - but i now think/believe that being human has a truth we are blind to, and some of these truths are experienced at death, so if you lived a life against your “conscience” - if you ask me, id say it will hold you responsible for its happiness. (I havnt experienced the other part where its happy about what i do, in a way it was a corrective self-bitchslap. Life is still ongoing - so its not all terrible, yet)
Yes I am going back to the same place, but the organisation has changed a lot while I was away (new team, new manager, new projects).
My personal theory is that programmers are paid so well right now in order to _stop_ them being productive for other companies more than they are to harness their productivity.

The big Valley companies who own the $$ firehose that is the ads business hire like crazy and pay top salary not because they need the talent -- most of what they're building with all this talent isn't adding to their bottom line -- but because they can't afford for that talent to go elsewhere and then compete with them.

Probably because people keep posting articles like this one.
He is not trying to live off the dividend (as far as I understand), he is trying to live off the principal and the dividend. At the end of the day, if his expected life span is something like 85 years and he accounts for 110 years in savings he would be left with very little principal, but who cares at that point. It is true however that getting that right may be very tricky, because if you miscalculate you have no savings left.

I don't think it is that problematic to put your WiFi credentials to a random website, since the possibility of the creator is a scammer AND lives near enough to you so it can exploits that fact is really small.

SigOver+alpha: Signal overshadowing attack on LTE and its applications [video]
People Can't Even Agree on When the Decade Ends
The talk can be taken in two ways.

1) It's a reasonable comparison of centralised and decentralised systems.

2) It's a way to discredit decentralised systems so people move to Signal because Moxie is a corporate / government shill or want to be the personal Jesus or something.

Which explanation looks more likely to someone, is mostly based on how they personally trust Moxie. And a lot of people in the community don't consider Moxie trustworthy.

In my personal opinion, this talk made a lot of people angry, precisely because Moxie went to Anarchist club (CCC) and had a talk that can be summarised (again, in my personal opinion) as "give up on decentralisation, give all power to ME ME ME and I'll take care of you, pinky swear." Of course Anarchists don't want to hear that.

But to someone who trusts Moxie or centralised power in general, this might seem like a crazy interpretation.

Worth pointing out that an official bulletin point summary/excerpt is available too

Don't trust that; unlicensed shops have been closing down much faster than google's been keeping up. Source: I'm a customer that preferred the unlicensed shops because the product and pricing was better. I was never ignorant about their legal status.

In licensed shops you get a very limited selection and typically, a low inventory. They've got little sniffer pods where you're supposed to be able to smell the product but it's nothing like the old shops where they'd have a canister where you could really get a good whiff. Packaging requirements mean that there's a limited selection of quantities; and typically, the packaging is at least 3x bigger (and significantly more expensive) than previously.

My preferred purchasing pattern is to buy a single gram of a few unfamiliar strains, test them out, and then come back in a few days to get an ounce of the best one. With this pattern, I only need to go to the store a few times a year. With the new shops, they don't carry single grams, and you can't save on packaging by buying in bulk -- if you want an ounce, you'd have to buy 10 of the 3.5g canisters.

I was pro-legalization for obvious reasons but now I wish I had a good black-market hookup.
Shareholders of such things are sometimes proxies for the true powers hidden behind. Money is not a democracy. There are national interests at stake here, and then I'm not talking about Taiwan's national interest.
I don't care to read about a womens past relationship history...

It just means she completely sucks at choosing the right guy or even being a good women, in the past a father/family elders chose who her husband would be for a very good reason. Women completely suck at making good choices. It's very rare nowadays to see highschool sweet heart relationship with family and children.. very rare, because careerism and higher education is pushed on women... so they end up complete fuckups, avoiding doing one thing they should be doing and that is having children and looking after a family with a husband providing.

The true history of marriage is that a women is married to the first man she fucks./ period. Only her real father.. not a priest can divorce her of past sexual relationships.

Therefore in todays world 99% women are going into new relationships with other men, when she is still married to the first man she had sex with... over 1000 years of lies from the church.

It's a good thing women age real quick past there late 20's. The dating sites that try to restrict age ranges are the worst/evil.

Of course if you are a man without much or no relationship history that wasn't just highscool girlfriends then its like there is something wrong with you. INcel men are growing in number in todays world, is nothing good about that.

Great if you want to write about all your past failed waste of time relationships though.

I can't. They're a nonsensical standard of English full of insultingly untrue things.

These two things are not in conflict; historically most nation states have a fairly fixed ruling class. There was a paper a while ago showing how many of the ruling families of 14th century Venice were still in significant positions politically or economically.
At my old work we would “freeze” CRAN, by downloading a complete dump of everything and setup R to install from that version instead of the online version as a way of version controlling packages.

2019: Further reflections on trying to start an internet business
Demonstrating the inferiority of multi-tasking by simulation
> One of the best courses I ever took was a 2 week summer school class in typing in the 8th grade. We were taught to touch type on a heavy mechanical typewriter where you really had to hammer the keys.

In my school, we had a full semester of touch-typing on mechanical keyboard in both the 7th and 8th grades. Everyone had to take it.

I had a couple of friends who, like me, were very interested in computers and programming. But instead of taking the opportunity to hone a skill that they knew they'd be using several hours a day for the next 60 years of their life, they screwed around, and left the class hunt-and-pecking as much as they ever had; and as far as I know they do that to this day. It never made any sense to me -- like, you have to be here anyway, why not just get something out of it instead of being bored?

(I meanwhile practiced with Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing on my home computer until my speed drills were consistently between 90 and 100 WPM.)

I think that the article is probably correct. I retired from a job managing a deep learning team and we usually had many undergraduate computer science and software engineering undergraduate interns working in our lab. Uniformly, they were highly motivated, knowledgeable, and did good work. Thirty years ago, I used to interview and hire computer science graduates from UCSD: we got some good people, but in comparison, the modern undergraduates seemed more experienced and prepared. Perhaps this is just showing a major improvement in computer science education.

That said, I read an article last week that mentioned 70K CS graduates a year in the US, a figure that surprised me that it was so low. I think it is an open question what the value is ofa CS graduate degree is, but an undergraduate degree seems like a great start to a career in software.
TL,DR: multi-tasking generates increased lead time, reduced flow and more missed opportunities leading to inferior value generation.
I had the same experience as you, years ago. I was severely burnt out (to the point where I didn't want to do anything computer-related). Taking time off fixed it, but I probably need to do that again now.
The protocol is or at least was called axolotl and wire.com also uses it, they do not require phone, had and have many more features like video chat, desktop client ... How does wire compare to matrix?
I agree. I mean I’ve got my war stories from when I was a sysadm, and I laugh about them, but at the end of the day I knew that computers were (are) really arcane, and the people I was hired to support had jobs to do that didn’t include the words “computer science” (but did include words like “histopathologist”)

BOFH to me was always the epitome of those few people who liked to lord it over others who they considered to be less smart than them - “lusers”. I knew a few admins and programmers like this and they weren’t ever half as smart as they thought they were.

BOFH always felt to me like a celebration of stupidity, which is never something I find entertaining, and I was never quite convinced that it was the victims who were stupid.
The big barrier to Trump’s 5G America
> (something the people behind Matrix actually admit in some of their internal talks)

Actually, we've been quite clear publicly that Matrix's initial incarnation didn't try to deal with metadata privacy, e.g. this presentation taken from a 2015 talk at the Jardin Entropique cryptography conference in Rennes: https://matrix.org/~matthew/2016-12-22%20Matrix%20Balancing%...

The fun thing is these days we've got to the point of building out metadata-preserving federation transports in Matrix (I just spent the Christmas break working on the stuff outlined in https://fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/dip_p2p_matrix/).

It feels like we (as Matrix) should do a formal response to moxie's "ecosystem is moving" stuff at some point, not least because the original blog post was written in response to me mailing him to consider linking Signal into Matrix :/

This doesn't make sense, the Latin countries were a hop skip and a train away 20 years ago, so this is a moot point.
It's always good to take constructive criticism but when the negative commenter contributes little of worth, both in the comment and to the wider community, I think it is safe to ignore.

Please be careful... Investigate these claims more fully than Wikipedia, these claims can be exaggerated / out of context
Another positive aspect of starting off with Scheme was that it leveled the class out, it removed the edge that all the self-taught programmers thought they would have over the people who hadn't really done much programming. Everyone was pretty much equally clueless. Very refreshing.
"individual data" is what makes all the difference here. Once you have the individual tv viewership data you can build products like -
- tv to digital re-targetting
- tv ad to actual sale/visit attribution
- ad campaign performance analytics
- in-tv targetted ads
- show/ad ratings
- and many more reports

you can sell these products to broadcasters, brands, ad agencies, tv show producers and even to election campaigns !!
Good points, and I appreciate the conciseness of the post. Nice.

Oddly the G7 Play camera just stares dumbly at the QR.

I know exactly how you feel, I've had huge unread inboxes, plenty of articles to read, albums to listen to, DIY and other projects to do/finish, just generally a ton of stuff on an unmanageable to-do list. Not to mention the physical parts of those aforementioned things piling up.

The best thing that happened to me was that my girlfriend agreed to move in with me. That gave me a clear deadline for cleaning out and cleaning up the physical part of the mess, and really forced me to reevaluate which things to keep around and which to just scrap outright. When you have to condense two apartments into one, you have to be smart about which things you allow to take up space.

I took this mentality to my non-physical mess as well, unsubscribed from all mailing lists and took a hatchet to my open tabs, bookmarks and various read-later lists.

Nowadays I try to read or listen to or generally check out stuff ASAP instead of putting it off. For things like books, I keep a very short strictly curated list of authors/books that I would like to read next, I try to keep it to around 5 items at any given time.

I have ADD traits, and keeping myself from creating unmanageable to-do lists really helps me with that.
thank you for this masterpiece.
