If you're talking about spirit breaker, a while ago it was changed so the swing back doesn't count, it's only when you actually attack. So now, all you can do is "hold" a streak of not bashing.

I think phantom assassin still can do it with her ult (attack, see if the swing back is the crit animation, if not cancel it), but that may have changed (I haven't played in a few years)

Feels like I flip flop a bit. As in, I can hear myself thinking while I type this, but most of the time my thoughts are more abstract (as in, I'm having a hard time writing out an example of one since they're not verbal). I find that after reading a lot, my brain is more talkative.
I find this fascinating.

I sometimes hear the voice (for reading and certain types of thinking), but sometimes I don't / can't.

For example, I always do when reading, planning, or consolidating ideas. I can't do it when writing code, or thinking design ideas.
It's just incredible that major map providers don't understand how problematic left turns are.

There's a reason you seldom see UPS and FedEx trucks trying to turn left in crowded urban settings. It's because they cost time and money. Why don't Google and Apple understand that, and give us an option to avoid or discourage left turns?

My Mom doesn’t even use a cellphone, much less map directions. But she always is amazed at the directions given because she’ll pull out a map and do something with 3 turns what’ll have 20 turns on the map direction.

She’s certainly not wrong that from a UX perspective, simple can be really nice, especially if you’re driving on crowded roads and want to focus on driving.
A implies B does not mean B implies A.

Sometimes a microservice architecture is the best way to fix your problems. Sometimes it’s the worst. But you’ll only be able to tell after your monolith is, indeed, truly good and busted.

Just never start with it. That’s crazy.
Yes. Most people missed the importance of the word synthetic. In order to explain it, let me make an analogy.

You think IBM is going to go up in price. (It should with the new CEO from Red Hat!)

You can send $100 to investment bank A which turns around and buys a regular share of IBM.

Or you can send it to investment bank B which offers a synthetic share of IBM. Investment bank B doesn't actually buy a share of IBM but collects bets from different people who think the price of IBM is going to go up, and other people who think the price of IBM is going to go down.

With investment bank A, your money may go up or down a little, but there's not much chance that investment bank A will go out of business.

On the other hand, with investment bank B, there are several different ways the investment bank could go out of business. It might not balance out it's up and down bets correctly because it's confident that IBM is going up. Or many of the other customers may be unable to pay up. Or maybe investment bank B made a deal with AIG to make sure that investment bank B would not lose money on the deal, but AIG was unable to pay.

With synthetics, there are additional risks which are more difficult to quantify.
There was a blog linked here some time ago where the author turned off his internal dialog and was able to observe his more automatic behavior. I recall trying it on my way to work and was fascinated. It was not like meditation, but I was still suspicious of the safety. This piece just reminds me that I need to try it again, but I dont recall how.

This is a perfect example of how free markets fail when profiteering is not aligned with the user in mind.

Their sole purpose is to increase sales of their pain medication. The best way to do that is to advertise your drug to people who can push them, and even better if you can wear them down into making shitty decisions that involve them buying your drug.

The free market can't fix this problem because it's hidden (intentionally) and because what the company wants is not what the user wants. The only recourse is legislation.
iPhone is ARM. Google cross compiles most of its code in the last X years. Windows 10 runs on ARM. Not sure why you think it would be a problem.
Stop calling it monolith. If you want to create a new trend you need a new buzzword to trick everyone.

I got one: Macroservices!
what "black box" are you talking about? Caltech is a major research institution -- their invention was published and widely cited (according to Google, by 840+ papers), so others clearly benefitted from their work. It seems only major tech companies making billions by selling wireless gears didn't know about it.
I think there is a lot of grey area in this debate of microservice vs monolith. There are more aspects to this than how many executables you need to start before production is up.

According to most of the intent of the definition of "microservice", we do have many of these within our monolith. There is a nice big folder in our core project called "Services" and within this lurks such things as UserService, SettingService, TracingService, etc. Each with their own isolated implementation stack+tests, but common models and development policies. All of these services are simply injected into the DI of the hosting application. We are injecting approximately 120 dependencies into our core project and it is working flawlessly for us in terms of scalability and ease of implementation. Microsoft DI in AspNetCore is awesome. For those trickier cases we will usually just pass IServiceCollection to whatever needs to arbitrarily reference the bucket of injected services (e.g. rules engines).

I think you can have the best of both microservices and monoliths at the same time if you are clever with your architecture and code contracts.

Ah, apparently most people did not opt in.

According to Vice, anyway, Avast only put that opt-in page into their AV product after they got caught spying thought their browser plugins (which led to the removal of those plugins from the Chrome and Firefox stores until they updated them to stop the spying).

So, I think that Avast still looks pretty dirty here.
Principled is a way of making it sound less terrible than 'restrained'. California is a perfect example of what happens when you let environmentalists handle housing policy, the poor suffer because environmentalism is classism in disguise in these social contexts.

> Rust and go eventually will be facing same issues

Isn't Rust's workaround their "edition" system? It seems to be working pretty well for them, but it sounds like it could end up being a massive maintenance headache.

rather than a wholesale grandfathering, you can just defer the additional tax owed until a sale, when proceeds would be available to pay the tax.
I'm not sure how you're expecting people to answer this with text.
Totally agree with this article. Split the application when necessary. But creating 10/100s of mirco-services is a maintenance as well as runtime nightmare.
It sounds to me like you're the one purposely changing the definition to discredit them. It's obvious from social cues that they're not using a strict legal definition.
I am having this reaction also.

I am literally speechless, thinking that it wasn't an idiom; and that the monologue as recorded in e.g. modern literature, was likely meant to be read and as is read as a transcription...

I have always at a deeply unexamined level assumed that that was just a convention of how literature functions through its medium, language; that the recording of thought through its semantic content was a (to me "obvious") necessary translation-layer thing.

I don't have a headache, but I might have to go sit somewhere and stare with my eyes unfocused for a while, to come to terms with this. I've been cross examining my coworker (who does "hear the voice") about what that even means.

The aphantasia thing was curious. This is somehow much more of a shock.
Wow! Is this a hidden science that we missed to research as a society? Understanding these elementary pieces of thinking seems to me to be a science probably hugely important for AI research and tons of socially relevant questions. Anyone know of scientific papers on this? A catalogue of human ways of thinking, experiments to prove them, analysis of their impact on daily life or career etc..?
That is all entirely consistent with my point though.
ALSO. the people you are describing are (I'm guessing) immigrants. Meaning they are a subset of people from their home country with the internal initiative, drive, and resources to move halfway around the world and make their way in a culture besides the one they grew up in
Visual / tactile. Put head under shower, open eyes, facing down. Notice how streams of water look like the capital ships from Robotech firing full frontal barrage. Relieve some Robotech nostalgia. See patterns in the shower tiles. Words are too slow for thinking. But, words give solidity and can help develop a train of thought.

When I have verbal shower thoughts, they come out verbally and I sing or monologue.
What's some concrete example of OLAP cube? What does Alice, a data analyst, actually do when she gets to work at her computer? What does she interact with on the screen? Does she use some specialized software to project the data cube into two dimensions (contingency tables) to find hidden meaning in the data? There's a lot of abstract talk and no actual examples on the Internet, except for SQL Server tutorials which always end up with some kind of E-R diagram.
Yeah my first clue that I am dreaming is usually when people start to "talk" and they don actually say anything I just know what they are communicating to me. Then I start to notice other for lack of a better term rendering errors in the dream. The more problems I notice the faster the dream seems to deteriorate around me.
I highly doubt the benefits of Waze are real, at least in Miami. While the random routes that Waze recommends might be more entertaining, it rarely is faster and sometimes WAY slower.
> Most people think a micro-service architecture is a panacea because "look at how simple X is," but it's not that simple. It's now a distributed system, and very likely, it's a the worst-of-the-worst a distributed monolith. Distributed system are hard, I know, I do it.

This line of argument fails to take into consideration any of the reasons why in general microservices are the right tool for the right job.

Yes, it's challenging, and yes it's a distributes system. Yet, with microservices you actually are able to reuse specialized code, software packages, and even third-party services. That cuts down on a lot of dev time and cost, and makes the implementation of a lot of of POCs or even MVPs a trivial task.

Take for example Celery. With Celery all you need to do to implement a queuable background task system that's trivially scalable is to write the background tasks, get a message broker up and running, launch worker instances, and that's it. What would you have to do to achieve the same goal with a monolith? Implement your own producer/consumer that runs on the same instance that serves requests? And aren't you actually developing a distributes system anyway?
I agree that research institutions shouldn't pursue patents, but I think patents in general have some value, because they discourage companies from relying on trade secrets, which used to be the norm, and is why certain ancient and medieval inventions were lost once the guilds dissolved and took their trade secrets with them.
If someone who doesn't experience inner monologues is willing to answer, I would really like to know how does it feel for them when reading? Do you vocalize in your head the text that you read, or it's also just abstract non-verbal stream of words for you?

It might be a bit far fetched, but from observing & talking to my kid when he was learning to read, I strongly suspect that there's a connection, that it has something to do with the skill of reading without saying the words aloud. Kids can't do it at first, they have to say every word aloud in order to understand the text, and then with time they train themselves to read in silence. For me, I still say the text as I read it, but I just say it in my mind, not aloud - And it feels exactly the same as when I verbalize my thoughts. AFAIK a lot of people reads like this (all my friends at least). This seems like some sort of "hack" to help us understand the meaning easier, we run it through the same processing as a spoken language. Some of us obviously can learn to avoid this intermediary step of verbalization, and can focus the consciousness directly on their thoughts.

Do you consider that the parts of yourself that are not conscious are in fact not part of yourself?

Otherwise it cannot be involuntary. Some part of you has decided to have those thoughts.

I'm all for SB50. Get rid of zoning restrictions. Don't conflate Prop 13 and SB50.
As one of those without this monologue, I've always found it maddening when dealing with those who strictly do. It's also fairly straightforward to me what sort of mental landscape someone has after some cursory conversation with them.
The SF board of supervisors has voted on resolutions opposing this bill several times now. If you care about housing and live in SF, take a second look at your supervisor. Their votes may not make a difference with respect to SB50 but they can certainly block housing in the city and too often they do.
Yeah and most importantly the OTP supervisors.

Unfortunately Boeing has petitioned for, and received amendments to its “fixed-price” contract to cover these extra costs in the past. Boeing making this number public, which they would have every reason to keep secret for competitive reasons if it was their own cost, is the first step in normalizing the customer to the added cost. Watch as they threaten to pull out as they have done before...
Good old websphere. Good old maven.

Yeah. Not my favorite things either. Luckily there are alternatives in the Java world.
...that's not the assumption epidemiologists make. For the very simple reason that there are many "just so" stories you can tell about those still in the hospital - are they sicker, and thus there longer? Are the secondary cases, which in the case of MERS had a much lower CFR?

This is a very straightforward application of survival analysis, and those still in the hospital are "censored" observations - we know their outcome takes place in the future, but we're not sure when.

There are methods for calculating things like CFR in the presence of censoring, which will change based on what type of model you're using.
I'm a little confused by this- if you have multiple independent apps on a machine, would they not already be in separate OS processes?
SB50 would make the problem worse the way it’s structured.
Just curious, are you in favor of statewide rent control too?

> Don't conflate Prop 13 and SB50.

The existence of Prop 13 has created a large class of voters opposed to rationalizing zoning laws - such as by SB50. It benefits these people to restrict housing supply, and Prop 13 ensures they don't pay the cost. Prop 13 is one of the root causes of all of California's housing supply issues.
Concisely describe the space battle you see in your mind's eye in less than 0.5 seconds. It's not that it can't be described. It's that I'm looking at / living a shot from a movie in realtime or faster than realtime. If I tried to write that out ... it would be too slow and actually over-specified.
You said the option/strike in question was not a dumb lotto bet and you submitted the volume of trading as your supporting evidence.

But the state lottery is literally a dumb lotto bet with super high volume.

So I don’t see how this wasn’t some set of lucky gamblers. If ER went another way, there’d be some other group making lots of money. Everyone speculating about the future (which is fine depending on the financial circumstances of involved individuals)
And, as far as visual thoughts go, I don't think I'm a visual person, but I wouldn't say I don't think visually. Once in a while, I do. Waking from dreams, I often feel like they were very visual. I guess maybe my sense is that my visual imagination is latent or stunted. Usually it's difficult for me to picture anything, but I feel I know what it's like, that I can imagine waking up and being able to see the tiniest detail of something I'm thinking about.
And it seems like the whole Aphantasia story all over again, except in inverse.
The math is going to be back-of-the-envelope OOM analysis anyway, so you could work it out per bit or per unit area and multiply it out from there, given your particular configuration.

The statistics get more complicated when multiple bits are flipped (either by a single event, or over time) before an error correcting pass can look at the bits in question. In those cases, the particular flipped bits and where they are spatially will matter a lot more.
Do a sanity check: does your 20% number make any sense based on what is known about the cases outside of China?
When the WHO declares something a "global health emergency" we have valid reasons to be alarmist :)

I think that "going back 6 days" is insufficient, so your conclusion of a 6% probability is unsupported. Given the extreme state of paranoia around the world (eg. authorities testing people coming out of airplanes) it is likely that cases outside China are detected very early after the onset of symptoms. As such, death, when it takes place, will probably take more than 6 days after a confirmed case is detected.

In fact, the studies in The Lancet document cases of patients that take much more than 6 days to die.

Options can be used both for hedging and speculation. You seem to only appreciate the latter.

Suppose I own AMZN already at a lower cost basis and believe the $2000 strike is approximately the maximum, say for example I believe the stock will drop after a short rally. Then I'd write a call; if the stock doesn't reach $2000, I earn the premium, even when the earnings are bad and the stock tanks; if the stock does reach $2000, I earn the premium and realize the gains on the stock, with only a bit of a FOMO.

That's one of the most basic option strategies known as a covered call.
I never say it is fair to evict them. What is unfair is to have a two tier tax system: one for nubs and one for the established.

The noob faces a double whammy, he needs to put a lot of money for the house and he has to pay a higher tax rate (and he has to live there because his livelihood depends on it). The established has an incredible investment in his home with a big market value giving him many options.
In the US, stolen property is the property of the person it was stolen from. If you bought a stereo from a pawnshop and it turns out it was stolen, the original owner gets his stereo back and you get to try and reclaim your money from the pawnshop. Anything else would create perverse incentives like the grandparent describes.

This rather prominently came into play during the 2008 financial crisis when it turned out banks were forging wet copies of the original mortgage paperwork on foreclosed properties. When banks realized that it was a problem, title insurance started specifically excluding this, so the original owner could take their property back and you would end up with a mortgage on nothing.
This "Living in the moment" stuff has depth such that many books have been written on it. It is one of the premises of mindfulness meditation, and Buddhism thoroughly explores this.

The summary is that you will be more satisfied if you are not continuously ruminating on the past, or anxiously anticipating future problems, but instead focus on your immediate happiness. e.g. Right now you are comfortable, not in any pain and surrounded by interesting things. Enjoy this, and don't worry about some conversation you might be having later.
For small solo dev projects sure. I've never seen a large software company that had everything running inside an IDE though.
F-16, A-10, AV-8B, F-18. Though there will still be variants of the F-18 flying for much longer along side.
Given you're posting on Twitter, adding the #epitwitter will get you plenty of exposure to ID epidemiologists, myself included.
What was planned in the past, and the reality today, are not the same thing.

There's over 2,000 F-16's in the field, and that qty. of F-35's will never be built because of the cost and mfg. capacity.

So likely the F-35 will be used where possible, backed up by thousands of older planes.

To give you an idea of how serious the cost/mfg. problem is, the late 1950s F-5 is in heavy use for the foreseeable future - training, adversarial Top Gun fighters, research, drones - you name it. The little fighter (4,000 made) is saving us billions now.
