I've always been happiest when I have regular volunteer work that I'm doing. I've volunteered in homeless shelters, as a crisis counselor, and doing wildlife rehab. The work is never glamorous, but gets me out of my head and using my hands again. On the best days, I can see that what I'm doing has a real, tangible impact on another living being, and that gives me really great joy. On the worst days, I'm still "in it" with a community of people who are dedicated to the same cause.

I've never felt awkward, fake, or used. I've only felt like it's given me community, purpose, and meaning in my life. Your mileage may vary, but volunteering has gotten me through some pretty dark times in my life.

What are the limits (per app, per user, per browser install) for amount of data, number of rows, etc in browser built-in DB's nowadays?
This is what I needed, thanks!
I also wish I could DM you - get in touch if you would like to chat about it.
I too have been thinking about these things for a long time, and I also believe a better future is going to include "aggregation of such blocklists would, of course, be of some use, and facilitating this is an interesting challenge."

I decided it is time for us to have a bouncer-bots portal (or multiple) - this would help not only with search results, but also could help people when using twitter or similar - good for the decentralized and centralized web.

My initial thinking was these would be 'pull' bots, but I think they would be just as useful, and more used, if they were perhaps active browser extensions..

This way people can choose which type of censoring they want, rather than relying on a few others to choose.

I believe creating some portals for these, similar to ad-block lists - people can choose to use Pete'sTooManyAds bouncer, and or SamsItsTooSexyfor work bouncer..

ultimately I think the better bots will have switches where you can turn on and off certain aspects of them and re-search.. or pull latest twitter/mastodon things.

I can think of many types of blockers that people would want, and some that people would want part of - so either varying degrees of blocking sexual things, or varying bots for varying types of things.. maybe some have sliders instead of switches..

make them easy to form and comment on and provide that info to the world.

I'd really like to get this project started, not sure what the tooling should be - and what the backup would be if it started out as a browser extension but then got booted from the chrome store or whatever.

Should this / could this be a good browser extension? What language / skills required for making this? It's on my definite to do future list.

Not exactly unknown but rarely mentioned these days:

Psycho-Cybernetics, A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life (1960) by Dr Maxwell Maltz, MD.

A foundational work in the field of self-image and more generally self-growth. Sort of the missing link between Hill-Carnegie and Covey, it's the first of its kind to shatter the body/mind duality and show facts in hand the power of the whole. A positively enriching read, containing a few invaluable ideas.

If you're a Zen or Stoic like me, you'll find the traces of these roots in there, the lineage of ideas.
This works until you have to pass additional arguments to `want` and `school.Lesson`, then it gets very messy very fast.
> Id be critical of any privatization of something that was once public domain, specifically spacelaunch footage.

SpaceX footage was never public domain. It’s completely different camera systems, etc. There is no regression here in rights because they are completely different things.

It sounds like your problem is with the government not putting speculations in the launch contracts to demand footage be released to public domain. That’s the real issue and that’s where it should be fixed.
SpaceX's trademarked name and logo are still limited by the usual trademark stuff even if they're in public domain video or images.

NASA's copyright policy is US government wide, it's just that most of the rest of the government actively dodges it by hiring photographers and letting them own the copyrights.

Tips:

Relax. Detach. It’s just code. You just finished it and you want to be done and be victorious and move to the next thing. That’s understandable. But this is a long game.

Never reject advice immediately. “So, I’m not sure I like this, yet. I’m probably missing something. Let me think it over and play with it tonight, and let’s discuss this again tomorrow.”

Assume good faith. Try to give them the benefit of the doubt. Can you explain back to them why they want the changes, in a way that they agree with? Try it. Even if you disagree, they will see that you have heard them and understand their perspective.

If you disagree with their perspective, you can ask them about it, and why they value this over that. Keep an open mind. Later, a good question is, “Do you think we need to worry about <counterpoint>?

If you are sure they are wrong, consider using priorities or authority to deflect. “I could make these changes. Do you think that I should do them before or after ___?” Make sure you know exactly what goes in the blank, i.e., what are your organization’s priorities anyway? Or, “I think I will need to talk to my manager before I spend more time on this, he really wants me to focus on ___.”

If it is dysfunctional, get help. Tell your manager what you think is happening and ask them for advice. Can they see a way to make this less stressful? If it is really bothering you, your manager should care a lot and should help you work resolve this. If they don’t, you have a crap manager and should make a change.
SciNews is not one of SpaceX’s channels.
I highly recommend the English/Canadian author Matthew Hughes and his novels "Majestrum" and "The Gist Hunter & Other Stories". His prose is just beautiful to read, you really do savour every word.

An even more obscure writer would be Christopher Evans and especially his novella "Chimeras". This is set in a medieval world in which some people have the Talent, an ability to create dazzling works of art out of thin air - just pure thought-stuff. An act of mental creation which appeals to the computer programmer in me.
An average like this doesn't necessarily mean the high end is good, it can also mean the absence of a low end dragging it down. An average like this means selectivity, avoiding out-of-the-way or oversaturated neighborhoods that would see less business.
IMHO it doesn't matter much who the author of a book was and what other things did he do if you can extract useful information from the book. What if Charles Ponzi himself would have personally invented a (real) cure for cancer or something before he died? Would we dismiss it just because he was a professional charlatan? I believe we would rather rest it to actually find out whether it works or doesn't.
It happens by default in the sense that all standard library data structures in most functional programming languages implement data sharing so that new versions share any common data with the old version instead of being created by scratch. This is known as being a persistent data structure. Likewise custom types you make (the equivalent of say classes in an OO language) usually are implemented as referring to their subcomponents by reference rather than value (since everything is immutable the two are impossible to distinguish at the language level) and so your custom data structures also get this for free.

The only common immutable data structure that does not have a persistent/data sharing implementation is an immutable array (as opposed to a linked list or a tree structure approximating an array), since arrays must be contiguous sequences of memory and therefore parts cannot be shared (unless you count array slicing, where the new array is always a subarray). However, unless you have strict performance requirements, you generally can get away with not using an array, since arrays generally only offer performance benefits if they are primitive arrays (rather than arrays of pointers to other objects).

And if you do need a mutable array, there are ways of ensuring that its mutability doesn't spread out and "infect" other components of your system.

Generally speaking, yes the main loop ultimately is a tail recursive function. This does not turn out to be much of a constraint. This is because main generally returns Unit (what is called void in e.g. C or Java), and so generally does not make sense to put anywhere except in a tail position since it does not return a useful value to be used elsewhere.

The reason I did not add a renderer to React Native and went with my own renderer and reconciler was because mobile and desktop behave differently. The goal of the project is to make sure you can copy almost all your code from React Native, but not hinder usability. For example, you can define multiple windows in Proton Native and I intend to add more props to that soon.

I mean the story, sorry, not the style. It's one of Banks' few self-contained sci-fi novels, and it's set in a rather odd universe that fits into the "dying Earth" tradition of dystopian sci-fi (Wolfe's New Sun/Short Sun/Long Sun sequence, Vance's Dying Earth, etc.) more than in Banks' more utopian/panoramic Culture novels. His other standalones, Against a Dark Background and The Algebraist, are much closer to his Culture novels, for example.

They are not powerful enough to model complex UIs. In terms of expressiveness, state machines are equivalent to regular expressions. That's why I find the title quite misleading. They may be useful to some extent for very simple UIs (for instance, Siemens Mobile has used them to model mobile phone (app) UIs).
Their prices are absurd for what you're getting. The regular CFA sandwich here (chicken, pickles, toasted butter bun) is $4.29 each. I can go to Gus Jr. (a local option) and get the same chicken sandwich (same amount of chicken, same bun with butter) with more pickles and lettuce, for $0.99.
Google does cache results, and could via comparison with cache notice changes, and claim, the page was updated sometime between.

I've always wondered, how search engines get a hold of timestamps. Locally with a cached sample, like I explained above, parsing a page's content or some metadata? It's not like the HTTP protocol sends me a "file created/last modified date" along with the payload, does it?
I used to work for a company that did product search. Search is hard. The original idea behind Page Rank was really insightful and made search a lot easier, at least until first SEO, then no one linking as much as they used to. The other trick Google figured out was good ML on query results, so all the popular queries have decent results. That sill leave you with search being hard.

Putting London money into a poorer economy that really needs it, rather than back into London, which doesn't?
I think focusing on the syntax level is a bit superficial. While Ruby (especially in the context of RoR) lends itself very well to making DSLs and making abstractions, and thus writing superficially good looking, concise, easy to follow (on a syntax level) application code, it really breaks down when the abstraction does not work perfectly the way you want it.

If you have debugged a Rails app and tried to find where in the 10 level call stack a side effect is introduced, knowing that at each level a 'method_missing' could've changed things, and thus you're really looking at a non-linear call stack since each function call can branch out, you'll know the beautiful looking syntax is not free and in fact very costly.

And don't get me started on poorly documented (if any) CoC (black magic)..
100% agree. This is one of the main reasons why I chose a Mazda over the Honda/Toyota equivalents.

> To me the static typing seems to be almost more about naming things that it is about verifying the correctness of your program in the face of unknown or interesting behaviour.

That's exactly backwards. The point is not naming things, the point is encoding behaviours and invariants in the type system so the compiler can help you check them.

> With typing, it is very easily possible for someone to create bad abstractions that you have no control over

It's possible for programs to be written badly in any typing discipline, static or dynamic. Neither saves you from the bad decisions of others. I've personally seen PHP code that no one could understand and everyone was afraid of touching because it heavily used reflection. I've heard of this for Ruby and Objective-C code too.

I think the key for new graduates is to have been thinking about getting a job for the last 4-5 years. Don't start looking and preparing when you graduate, you're already behind.

I kept a job I started as a teen as a lifeguard for like 6 or 7 years even though there were much better opportunities available to me financially because I knew the stability was one of the best things I could bring to the table. Resume building.

But in addition to that, I started networking long before I left school. It's essential. Despite the fact that culture may differ in other countries, I don't think that fundamentally changes my advice. The tactics may differ, but the strategy is the same because human nature is the same.

Here's an xkcd [0] inspired idea. We have several search engines, each with some level of bias. We're not looking to crawl the whole internet because we can't compete with their crawlers. However, we could make a crawler to crawl their results, and re-rank the top N from each engine according to our own metric. Maybe even expose the parameters in an "advanced" search. I'm assuming this would violate some sort of eula though. Any idea if someone has tried this approach?

Edit: thinking more about this post's specific issue, I'm not sure what to do if all the crawlers fail. Could always hook into the search apis for github, reddit, so, wiki, etc. Full shotgun approach.

I use a pyramid method to investing. At the bottom is a large amount of municipal bonds (either directly or through funds). Maybe 2/3's of my portfolio is in bonds. Next is my pyramid is stock funds, mainly ETFs, distributed across multiple industry and asset classes. Mostly domestic but some international. At the top of the pyramid is individual stocks. I buy stocks of companies I know about. I dont do this actively but from my travels you pick up a hint or two ahead of the market. 2 examples of this; noticing how fast Tesla's China gigafactory came up but the market didnt notice yet, so scooped up Tesla at 250. Another is noticing top 10 CPUs on Amazon were AMD but no bump in their price, so scooped some up at $22 a share.

As I get closer to retirement, and my stock funds increase faster than my bond funds, I rebalance by just buying more bonds when I invest new money.

I'm not a gambler. I want to beat inflation for the bulk of my hard earned money, and have some in the market to take advantage of America's great economy. The other good benefit of bonds is that you can use it as a higher interest savings account, since they are pretty stable.

You would have one system trigger the simulated failure and another system trigger the abort sequence independently of the trigger system. If it's the same system that triggered the abort and activated the abort sequence after then you can only say that you have tested the abort sequence and not the abort sequence trigger.
