But mostly the unattractive people by number. I am not saying your scenario doesn't happen, but compared to the other one it will be statistically insignificant.

This also means that the attractive people will find they'll get matched up with nothing but uggos, and then they'll leave.
'Awkward' is more or less an understatement here, because not only the presenter took a return flight back which is seen as a 'crime' against the planet due to taking double the CO2 emissions with the risk of getting flight-shamed, it was all for interviewing the a̶c̶t̶o̶r̶ activist herself.

The greenest thing the BBC could have done was to arrange a Skype/FaceTime interview. But instead, in the eyes of 'Queen Greta', the BBC presenter has committed 'CO2 treason' with a return flight which is now double the emissions of a single flight, rather than sailing for two weeks like Greta did. Perhaps Greta thinks its practical for all of us, but it is not I'm afraid and until flights become greener, then flights it has to be for long trips.

But a return flight for a interview with Greta? That is beyond comical for the BBC to do this.

>>are not informative as you don't give a guideline how influential or proportional they are.

My point was only that it exists in high enough proportions to be impactful, and juxtapositioned it with the ignorance seen in the conservative base.

My broader point is that the widespread ignorance seen in the left-wing base is largely ignored, in contrast to the ignorance seen in the right-wing base, which is rightly ridiculed.

>>What makes something a "conspiracy"? Because your latter formulation doesn't sound like a conspiracy to me.

The latter formulation is a conspiracy theory, and one that is completely baseless and borne from ignorance of the economic science.

Economists, free from any undue influence, have almost universally come to the conclusion that markets free of government intervention beyond enforcing criminal and contract law, are more efficient, and effective at advancing the public welfare, in almost all domains other than those subject to market failure (e.g. natural monopolies, and markets subject to positive or negative externalities best addressed by government provisioned public goods, etc).
Mind map the book starting with the conclusion then toc.

If a book takes more than 4 hours to mind map it's either a good book or poorly organised.

The reading speed isn't the constraint. It's placing the knowledge in your knowledge tree without tiring yourself out. Only read the key parts of the knowledge tree slowly in depth.

Use A3 paper and a click pencil. Speeds the reading right up. When the books mapped, explain the mind map to someone.

Email mailing lists were awesome. I could filter them by keyword and search easily, and finding one result would show me the entire chain of the conversation.

And if your corporate IT wasn’t completely nightmarish about locking it down you had multiple client options on almost every platform.

Besides, there were tons of integrations, scripts already available, and it is super easy to write your own irrespective of what scripting language you know.

Technically it sucked in that it could, when used terribly, clog up an entire network (such as the infamous NHS mail chain reply fiasco from a few years ago), but I have no clue who decided Slack was better than emails for what emails did.

Slack is better than Lync and similar corporate messaging platform. But that’s not what people tried to sell it as, or for that matter, Slack advertising sells it as. They sell it as an alternative to email.

Yes as pointed out many times not "computer science" and I somewhat regret the name. However, it came out of me being a teaching assistant for people doing computer science degrees. A surprising number of people got to 3rd year operating systems courses without realising things like 2^10 is a kilobyte, 2^20 is a megabyte, etc. Let alone how a program was linked and loaded. I hope for this to be helpful, there are plenty of similar resources but sometimes the way one person says something resonates more than another.

I deliberately wanted to avoid x86-only to illustrate for similar reasons. Unfortunately Itanium proved to be a poor choice, ARM would have been better, but it gives me something to update if I get time! However, much of the basic content still remains relevant many years on.

> I live in Istanbul, and the first thing I noticed was the lack of homeless people in this city of 15-20million (depending on with whom you are talking). This is because Turks have a much stronger family structure, and most people live with their parents until they're married at the very least.

There's about 15,000 living in the streets of Istanbul, and about 150,000 living in the streets of Turkey according to NGOs.

150k per 80M compares to about 200k living unsheltered in the US (per 320M) or 550k homeless overall.

Would Haskell or Elm count as non-mainstream? I've used both professionally and loved them both. They're both pure functional languages. I love how expressive yet terse both of them are, and I love functional languages. Before I started using those languages I had no idea what functional programming is so they both totally changed my thinking to be primarily functional.

The official Elm guide is quite good, and there are a lot of good resources out there for Elm because it tries really hard to be beginner-friendly. Haskell on the other hand... not so much. I guess the best resource I used was Learn You a Haskell.

I think the Cybertruck looks like a fantastic SUV, but here would be my critiques of it as a competitor in the pickup truck:

As oft stated, the slope of the bed's walls makes side-loading difficult. This may not seem too significant day-to-day given the bed's volume, but if you're doing commercial work (construction, professional moving, etc), you'll get a lot of items that don't properly fit in the bed's volume. Even the cladding like on the Chevy Avalanche can be obnoxious, if not impossible to work around with some loads.

The body also doesn't look as ammenable to aftermarket modifications as its competitors. Standard racks and bed rails won't be compatible with it, which are pretty much standard mods for any contractor.

On the more elaborate side, you couldn't replace the back end of the vehicle with a domain-oriented work box.

I think a more utility-oriented cybertruck would have gone cab-over like an Isuzu elf, and used a more raditional, if elongated bed-design.

The tonneau cover and specs are nice, but it needs to function more as a modular platform, and have traditional rear end if it wants to compete broadly in the "practical pickup" space.

Great as a lifestyle vehicle, I expect your average truck owner will get more than enough utility from it, and it'll be a dream off-road. But I don't think most of the critiques leveraged against it are being made from the mindset of a consumer who only occasionally needs the pickup portion of their vehicle.

Sorry for the confusion. When I mentioned coffee I was referring to IBS symptoms, not microbiome. Caffeine increases digestive secretions and causes colonic motor activity. Even decaf coffee increases secretions. For a review, see:

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0036552997500255...

If coffee is causing IBS symptoms (diarrhea), I would imagine that isn't good for your microbiome.

I haven't had any microbiome tests, and it's very difficult to robustly test for the effects of individual foods without doing a placebo controlled trial. However, after removing fizzy HFCS soda drinks, I seem to not have any symptoms that I would associate with an abnormal microbiome in the past year (smelly farts, followed by urgent need to poop, followed by large amount of soft poop after eating, during a period of long-term zero stress). I've made a number of other changes to my diet, such as not drinking tap water, but I suspect HFCS was the main culprit, as the scientific evidence strongly backs that up.

Stress is another main cause of IBS, due to its effects on gut motility.
JSON.parse("(function() { })") doesn't parse either, despite being valid JavaScript. Both constructs are specific to JavaScript, and do not exist in JSON. Hence, JSON is a subset of JavaScript.
Rent control is for the renter, but the currently occupying renter, and not those who would like to move to the neighbourhood in the future. It is also a short-term solution, that provides the currently occupying renter with a current advantage, but at the cost of making rent region-wide more expensive for new lease agreements, which greatly constrains their options in the future should they decide they want to move, or should the unit they are occupying need to be vacated due to a need for reconstruction or repairs.
Not gut health, but IBS (see my other comment here).

1) Saying "I want to enable analytics" and marking all options to send analytics by default (since they know most users don't read anyway) is what I am saying that Apple "defaults on". This is still better than other OSes, however if you really are a "privacy first company" is not enough.

However sure, I didn't explain correctly and I don't remember the last time I setup my iPad (this is the only Apple device I have so this will what I will be using for comparison).

2) It still shouldn't exist, or at least they should ask in Wizard because this option I am sure they did not ask because I had to search on how to disable it (and the way to disable it isn't obvious either).
You can still do it even if you don’t really want to. That’s pretty much the definition of work regardless.

>Is that really true, or is it just that some people have a grudge against systemd and sysvinit is the only other practical option?

Well, considering quite a few distros had already replaced sysvinit with upstart prior to systemd, obviously we have multiple options besides sysvinit. There's also options such as openrc, which will let you make use of whatever you want for pid 1, and manage services elsewhere.

In general, whether or not replacing systemd with something besides sysvinit/upstart is a practical option depends on how reliant you are on packages provided by an upstream distro or 3rd party. It isn't particularly hard to just swap init systems on several distros - debian included - but there are varying levels of tie-in with provided packages.

If you're building all of your required packages with a CI/CD pipeline and deploying with containers based on a minimal linux distro, you could relatively easily use a myriad of systemd and sysvinit alternatives. If you're just deploying on RHEL or Ubuntu VMs and doing yum/apt install to get your software, it's relatively more difficult.

Personally, I think sysvinit needs to be relegated to the annals of history. But I also have been bitten in production many times by systemd bugs, which due to the more... integrated... nature of systemd and it's components have been more trying to troubleshoot and have resulted in longer periods of problematic behavior, increased system level outages, and other headaches. Back when I worked with Solaris, I loved SMF - not so much the XML portion of it, but it worked well, was leaps and bounds ahead of sysvinit in usability in features, and didn't manage to induce nearly as many problems in my production environments as systemd has. And this isn't the first project I've wasted hundreds of hours of my life troubleshooting from the key systemd maintainers. My general experience with their projects has left the impression that they are not nearly as concerned at making their software bug-free as they are chasing features and use cases that interest them. Which is fine - they're welcome to write whatever software they want and prioritize things however they want.

My hope is that some other init system which recognizes the fact that it's no longer the 80s receives traction. Init scripts are awful, and no one should be writing them in this day and age, but I would prefer a system that only has a subset of systemd features but is instead focused on maintaining airtight code quality for those features. I don't need the vast majority of the features and services offered in today's systemd suite, and I don't want to suffer from the cost that all of those diversions extract on the core functionality. Crib the good parts, keep a high quality bar, and make sure a feature is likely to produce high positive impact before investigating resources in delivering it. Which is, I know, quite a lot to ask.

Business books (most good writing actually) are frontloaded. The first paragraph tells you the gist, the first page the important ideas, the first chapter most of what the book has to offer. The rest is there to go into detail and support that first chapter with facts arguments and anecdotes.

But here’s the kicker: you often won’t fully grok the first chapter if you don’t read the rest. (or don’t already know it from other sources)
