> If these are the primary colors, why aren't they what printers use? Printers use cyan, magenta, and yellow.

There really is no such thing as "the" primary colors. The school primary colors are still primary as those used by a printer, and are based on historically widely used pigments. CMY (and usually K) allow for a wider gamut. But even this isn't perfect. There are printing processes with more primaries to get a wider gamut.

> And the only thing that makes these colors primary to us is that they're the colors that the cones in our eyes perceive.

This isn't quite right. For one, our cones are not monochromatic receptors, and moreover, they overlap! There isn't really just one true red, green, blue used in computer monitors either.

Because of the way our brain perceives colors (metamerism), you can create a wide gamut of colors with "alternative" primaries.

But you could also hate starting (a project for a job you hate) but you keep on doing it, ignoring those feelings, because we all have bills to pay.

I have my doubts too, since there are quite likely ceiling effects. Perhaps the competition was set up out of desperation, or because the non-profit still had 25k to burn who knows?

>They don't inherently conflict. Emotions can be logical

This is a semantics issue. Parent means logical in the sense of the process of thought, analysis, etc. Not in "makes sense".

Given that, emotions can be reasonable, but not logical. I.e. they can be valid descriptions of the situation, but they are not themselves some kind of logical analysis or reasoning - they are just feelings.

(On the other hand, a logical analysis can produce emotions. I.e. logically determining "the oxygen in our cabin runs out in 2 hours" can produce panic. And the opposite: an emotion might get us to think / perform a logical analysis).

This could be solved with two simple things rather than outright banning a useful thing for a lot of people.

1. Fine owners of disruptive animals.
2. Tranquilizers aboard the plane.
With a short TTL being standard to allow quick changes and such a wide range of domains you're going to get a lot of cache misses and have to go to the TLD to get the answer.
It's a classic optimization problem. With high speed, but poor suitability, animals are bound to return. With low speed, but good suitability, there's low return rate - but slow turnover, which leads to overcrowding and rejection of new animals.

Like in business and tech, you want a high as posible throughput / inventory turnover rate - but obviously with constraints.
For a visual flight in a small plane that's the way to do it (and then technically runway track instead of heading)

For an instrument flight there is a defined missed approach route that usually includes specific altitudes and turns to get you to some holding position.
TeX has one, and one only, significant problem. And that is its lack of a context-free grammar. You cannot parse it without executing it. That means you have no linting, translation, etc.

Does the author really lament that scientists do not use structured representations for publication? Did they ever try that in practice?
I would have no problem listening to this guy and trusting him and believing in his view of physics if he would just show some of his stuff. If he really has a compact functional fusion generator and a gravity wave device and other things, then he certainly deserves to be taken seriously. Give us a quick demonstration of the technology and then say all you can, please!

Conversely, if all he has are ideas I can't understand without any demos or examples, I have no problem doubting him. Perhaps he's right, but I won't be able to tell until I see the gizmos working. Because of that, I have no hesitation in defaulting to the view that he isn't credible, reliable, or right.

The vehicles mentioned (sprinter vans, and Ford Transit) are classified as light trucks, but most people would call them commercial vans or panel vans. Pickup trucks were never commonly imported from Europe, and most of the Japanese makes moved assembly to the US. While the 80s was really the peak of compact pickups, they were still some made into the 2010s, although a 2011 Ranger is a lot bigger than a Ranger from the 80s. I don't think the 2019 Ranger comes in a regular cab either.
I’m a big fan of thewirecutter, and I reference them frequently on most things I’m buying. But for HEPA air filters, I don’t feel like they test the models that I feel are best for someone with asthma, or other similar breathing problems.

We have several IQAir units, of at least a couple different models. None of them have sensors to automatically ramp up the filtering when they detect pollution, that would be nice. But according to the air quality sensors I have in the house, they do an amazingly good job of filtering the air, at least if you turn them up to high enough levels.

I have yet to see demonstrated clear benefit of the units with activated charcoal filters for removing VOCs from the air, but my gut feeling is they do help in those areas where VOCs are a concern. Not all parts of our house needs that, however.

Having four furballs does greatly increase the dander and other allergens we have to deal with, but we wouldn’t give them up for anything, so the IQAir units at least make our lives a bit more livable. Especially during “Cedar Fever” season.

Shout out to nextdns.io, they run a global pi-hole grid. OK, it’s better, but conceptually.

”Block ads, trackers and malicious websites on all your devices. Get in-depth analytics about your Internet traffic.
Protect your privacy and bypass censorship. Shield your kids.”

All you do is point your DNS at it. (Or let one of their apps point DNS for you.)

But I really like the ethos:

”NextDNS was founded in May 2019 in Delaware, USA by two French founders Romain Cointepas and Olivier Poitrey. Olivier has been working on Internet infrastructures for the last 20 years. In 2005, he founded Dailymotion, the largest video sharing service after Youtube and the most popular European website in the world at the time. He is currently Director of Engineering at Netflix, working on Open Connect, Netflix's home CDN also known as the CDN moving about 30% of the total US Internet traffic. Romain and Olivier closely worked for years at Dailymotion on many different projects. Romain ended up leading the mobile & TV department.”

”We are true supporters of the net neutrality and Internet privacy. We believe that un-encrypted DNS resolvers operated by ISPs are detrimental to those two principals. Alternative solutions like Google DNS or Cloudflare DNS are great, but we think more actors need to step up and provide alternative services to avoid centralization of powers.”

In ~8 months it’s gotten mom proof while also being something I can recommend to techos. For me, it’s been more reliable than the enterprise Zscalar DNS filtering, and more configurable than other filters, particularly in allowing ad blocking and custom block lists and white lists along a rich set of built-ins.

I guess I'm not super interested in the pretty small difference between van and bus. Grandparent's point was cars are better because they don't make a bunch of stops and they don't wait for people to get on/off. As you add people into vehicles you lose those advantages, but you lower your overhead.

But as more and more people work (global population is still increasing), this doesn't scale. Commuting is the problem, not humans having yet to find the perfect commuter to axle ratio.

This is my problem with self driving tech in general. So much energy and engineering has gone into solving a problem we don't need to solve. The answer is more light rail and more remote work. And if you think it's a tech solution to a political problem, I'd point you to all the political problems Uber is having. It's just, idk bad planning or something.
That's quite a rant, but I fail to see much value in his arguments? TeX was never meant to parse Math the way Mathematica or other software is?

I think the 'refer to boss' is a great option if you have trouble saying no directly.

Also if you don't already keep a job list, start. When people, especially your boss, look to add something, say you are full capacity and they have to decide what to remove to offset. It helps 1) keep requests in check 2) will force managers to prioritise 3) Creates agree trails what doesn't get delivered.

Unfortunatly admin like this further reduces your working hours but usually is the best way.
>As with alcohol, the results of hypnosis were never completely trusted; Sigmund Freud, for example, used the technique to uncover patients’ repressed memories of sexual abuse but eventually admitted that most of the recollections were fantasies. “Such widespread perversion against children is scarcely probable,” he concluded.

Template Haskell is not standard Haskell, it is an extension. But even with it, Haskell type system can't reason about lifetimes of objects. It doesn't give any guarantees about object destruction nor even object construction, due to laziness. Hence, you can't prove anything about resource usage of a Haskell program. Which makes it usable only for cases where you don't care about resources and where the program doesn't interact with external systems.

I haven't seen many junior engineers write code I was particularly impressed by, or that could stand the test of time. It's more tech debt, but it's also learning. Others here have said a mix of junior + senior is ideal, and I agree. But for some things, you need speed and low tech debt: those projects are when you should lean more heavily on your senior staff.

Junior engineers willing to burn themselves out doesn't bode well for the quality of work you're getting.

This reminded me of Ijon Tichy's saying after one of his voyages:

" Thus concluded one of the most unusual of my adventures and voyages. Notwithstanding all the hardship and pain it had occasioned me, I was glad of the outcome, since it restored my faith, shaken by corrupt cosmic officeholders, in the natural decency of electronic brains. Yes, it’s comforting to know, when you think about it, that only man can be a bastard. "

A very valid comment but I think it should be seen in addition to the issue of PFAs from manufacture and mil/industrial uses which are polluting the wider environment and drinking water to a significant but unclear extent. I think it is fair to expect that PFCs most commonly employed in everyday materials are better researched for safety than those polluting the wider environment, at least it is not fair to assume equivalence just because they are PFCs.
The following conversation on useful materials which I also found diverting rather focuses the issue on risk and utility to self, while persistent pollution has the potential to affect all for a very long time regardless of whether they are users, children, even human or animal.

>This is a concession to the fact that the US is a multi-cultural society, so teaching values as such would be inappropriate.

That in itself is teaching values. From kindergarten and up, American schools teach students that diversity is a great thing, and we're all equal, and it's what makes America so special. It's something we're taught to be aware of and cherish. That's something loads of other countries' public education systems don't teach at all, and some even teach the opposite.

How a country teaches values isn't obvious to someone raised within that country. It's just thought to be common sense.
If every kid had an equally advantaged upbringing, the world would be a better place. The metaphorical pie would grow rather than just be subdivided more. Furthermore, the gains would be somewhat non-linear. There are many benefits to having a larger network of people on the same psycho-intellectual wavelength. Contributions from the marginal additions to the network would propagate back and forth across the network, adding value along the way in a manner that transcends the self. That is a strong case for greater state involvement and expenditure in setting our youth up for success, especially disadvantaged youth. It’s also a strong case for easing off of our property tax-based system for allocating school revenues, which naturally results in very different school quality. Even if you’re cynical about how much the government can do, let’s say that 20% of disadvantaged youth that otherwise would have led terrible lives instead become productive citizens and parents as a result of stringent, uncompromising education reform. That 20% will break the cycle for their kids, and after a few generations, the baseline level of parenting in this country will be improved by a good amount.
Well, we didn't have the World Wide Web for most of that time.
Tips to crack NEET exam at the first attempt
Tech does NOT pay like pro sports* and will not until workers get organized enough to form a collective bargaining agreement or something similar. Could software engineers do that? Lawyers and accountants have successfully guilded. And Partners get paid a lot more than Staff engineers. But tech companies strongly prefer having engineers as employees versus farming out work to firms. Software engineers have also been walled off from competitive salary information for many years (before Glassdoor or levels.fyi). This blog article should be seen as a potential aspiration versus a present day achievement (which isn’t true anyways).

* In addition to other counterarguments noted here: not everybody makes Staff engineer (many consider Senior terminal) but every rookie in sports gets a similar deal; athletes get cold hard cash but in tech a large part of total comp is tied to stock; athletes can get endorsement deals; athletes don’t “work” 12 months a year; athletes usually retire long before age 65.
And yet the athletes are still smarter than the geeks... They have a union...

I suppose I should clarify the kind of mindfulness I'm talking about. Basically what I was taught was how to pay attention to what I'm feeling and where those emotions are coming from. This helps a lot with lowering my anxiety and stress levels. Unlike meditation, this isn't something that I stop to do, aside from maybe a brief pause to take a couple of breaths, it's something I do throughout the day when I start feeling bad.

Meditation didn't work for me because it implied taking some time out my day to do it, and that would just and either become a way to procrastinate or something that I would procrastinate doing and contribute to my anxiety.

That aside, I think there's a lot of confusion about the terms "meditation," "mindful mediation" and "mindfulness" and I'm not sure I know the correct way to use them, but the above is what I mean when I say "mindfulness."

Not quite truth serum, but if you feel more comfortable with someone, you are more like to be more open to them. If you've watched some police interrogations you might see that one of the things they try and do is build rapport with the person they are questioning for this reason.

So decreasing inhibitions so that you don't care about this, or increasing empathy so that you feel more trust in general can let people be much more truthful. For instance, alcohol or MDMA, or talking to a close friend compared to a stranger.
