I feel the entire article is very confusing. Maybe I would need to have read the book to understand the article. I went in with the expectation of informative guidlines to effective notetaking, and left feeling i hade read a very lengthy way of saying taking notes is important. Coupled with a description of a complex way to archive notes(slip box), with no explanation of how to use the structure (your box).

Seems like the worst idea from Facebook to have allowed third-parties outside of Facebook to process the raw data (1 exabyte of data!)
I agree, not only these kinds of questions we should ask, but also we should have data and objective results. Adding data and caring about people personally make the best managers I've ever seen.
Reddit was a great place to engage with ideas, and then move on from them, but turning it into just another surveillance operation is where communities go to die.

I still think I know how Reddit could make money, but it's possible they are too staid to get it. They may have also lost the plot politically, where a particular flavour of virtue is becoming a substitute for the growth and success they actually need to effect the change they want to.

The music business is and always was a celebrity and micro-celebrity factory, and Reddit (and their main magazine empire investor) could be that for content. Imagine a record label like Time Warner happened to own every indie bar in every little city where bands played, got first option on every group that came through the doors, and could measure audience reaction in real time.

That's what Reddit is, but for content.

This pressuring users to give up PII sounds like there is a sea change happening at the corporate/financial level where they've been given a limited runway and need to show some short term traction, "or else." I've mostly kicked my reddit habit, and their strategy really resembles something they'd do if they're hitting a negative inflection point.

People do this for small business owners and ADA compliant website.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has specifically stated in rulings that websites should be designed so they are accessible to individuals who have vision, hearing, and physical disabilities. There’s a growing body of case law where the DOJ required companies to provide an ADA compliant website and levied hefty penalties when sites failed to measure up.

Yeah not only are surgical masks not even clinically effective in this situation, they’re often not worn properly. I’m in Beijing now and you see people with masks not covering their nose, or worse, pulled down onto their chin. A friend of mine tried to remind an older lady in an elevator about proper mask usage, and her response was 你们年轻人管太多了 — you young people worry too much/should mind your own business.

The people in my compound who were confirmed to have the virus (we found out on the 12th) got it at a family gathering over the new year holiday in Shanghai. So obviously they weren’t wearing a mask then.

What seems to be making a difference in China — it’s no longer spreading like wildfire, if you believe the official reports* — is self-quarantine. Most of my friends have barely left home since the beginning of February. For a while, some restaurants that were still open wouldn’t let people sit together in parties larger than 2. And at least in Beijing, everyone who returns to the city after travel must undergo mandatory 14 day home quarantine, with fines or punishments for those caught violating (https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2020/02/14/world/asia/14reut... though enforcement varies from place to place).

* Wuhan/Hubei are a tragedy no matter how you count. But at least Beijing is doing OK. I mostly trust the official numbers, simply because the Party has a strong vested interest in mounting a response commensurate with the threat. They can’t let the virus spread too much and rip apart the capital; neither can they afford to tank the economy for several months longer than necessary to contain the threat. Even with all the censorship, if you find yourself fighting against reality, reality wins.

There is a need: in order to maximise performance, we often talk about avoiding needless vdom recomputations and also about avoiding the browser to recalc the layout aka rerender.
If I say in a commit "avoid needless re-rendering of CardList when a Card is added"
You cannot understand the nature of the performance issue if you use both re-rendering for vdom and layout.

The issue I see with hallway conversations on their own is that some people don't convey much information in such a short informal setting. Other do but it can leave a blind spot for some individuals and for problems too large (or sensitive) to articulate in such a setting. Some people just aren't comfortable forcing a meeting with their boss to discuss a large or sensitive issue.

I've had this same thought for a while now. Mental illness (and I am not using this term judgmentally) is, essentially, when your perception of the world persistently does not agree with the external reality: for example, you're under the impression that you're fat when in reality you're nigh emaciated.

If that's a correct characterization, is depression really a mental illness? If people perceive their lives to be dreadful, whereas in reality their lives are dreadful, where does the misconception come in?

Not only does it show textbook RSA, it doesn't even show signing!

There are two secure ways to use RSA: as a signature scheme with appropriate padding (PSS), or as a Key Encapsulation Mode (KEM) which inherently doesn't require padding.

The general rule is that if an article on RSA includes anything about "encrypting a message" it's naive and outdated, and should be ignored. RSA encryption is slow and error-prone. RSA signatures are slow to generate (though fast to verify) and error-prone. RSA-KEM is at least not any more error-prone than the rest of cryptography, it's just slow.

Your script only tests samples which are from ranges where the max is a power of 10.

I’m sorry to tell you this, but you inadvertently misled people with that empirical test. This just goes to show that we have to check our assumptions, as scientists or mathematicians trying to prove a statement. (Even with empirical tests :)

Hopefully this message will fix that at least for those people that are reading this thread! The rest will be confused. But that’s what happens in science all the time.

PS: I edited the original Wikipedia page with the explanation :)
Okay, but unless Grover can accurately describe how to deploy services and load balancers on GCP, generate valid kubernetes yaml that matches the contents of the article, and generate an infrastructure diagram that matches the infrastructure described in the article, then this was certainly not generated by Grover. It in no way resembles something generated by some ML text synthesis. I'm not sure how anyone who read it could come to the conclusion that it was.

Before the internet, I user to spend a lot of time pondering questions to which the answer was in a textbook somewhere. Sometimes I figured them out for myself.

Today, I rarely spend much time pondering questions whose answer is in Wikipedia. I just look it up.

Pondering any question is good mental exercise for others. I wonder if the easy availability of answers to most questions makes it harder to tackle the truly unsolved ones.

Another way he states that principle is essentially "write as if you're going to publish your work." (In a journal, blog, etc.) This purpose informs how you work on the subject.

Excellent article, and to anyone interested in the topic, I'd suggest going beyond the review and reading Mark Fisher himself. His book, Capitalist Realism, as mentioned by the article, is short but an essential read to understand the politics of mental health: its current privatization at the hands of pharma companies and individualization at the hands of self-help authors and YouTube stars.

> To do it right, you'd want to encode app and infra changes in the same ubiquitous tool

Well, that's exactly what we do with Dhall, which lets us put static types on infrastructure tooling that prints out unpredictable output but in a predictable format and transform that output into the format that other dependent tools expect. Everything is then glued together with simple shell scripts and run in a CI environment.

Once you understand the pattern - use an uber-config plus typed tool outputs to generate downstream config and apply all config in an idempotent way - you wonder why you ever did things any other way.
And from the engineer's perspective the frustration is: We're so busy lifting blocks on top of blocks, that we don't have time to come up with better tools to do it faster. Also some of the blocks are triangles and this pyramid is 5x bigger than the last one and will probably collapse if not re-designed. The slaves are exhausted because they just finished working overtime to build the last pyramid you wanted, and in a given work day, half of them are working on patching up the other crumbling pyramids we built.

But the only metric the manager cares about is how many blocks per week we're pumping out. And that's why we'll never get along...
Is this similar to Debezium (https://debezium.io/)?
I recently bought this stereo used for $30 in mint condition and am blown away at it's sound and build quality. They just do not make them like they did in the past. Then as I was looking online for the manual, I found this gem of a service manual. I am amazed at all the detail they have included. Slides 32-39 show the circuit board in perfect detail. In other slides it labels individual screws and components. This whole manual blows me away because I just don't know of any current companies offering service manuals for their products like home stereos. Back when I was a kid, it was very common for you to take things like TV's or other various electronics to be fixed by a electronic repair man. Now you are expected to just throw it out.
It's the same legal protections you have when you make a post at Craigslist rideshare.

I have always done "walk'n'talks" as well, and have found them to be much more effective over the years. I always preach about them when I get the chance. It's unsurprising to me that sitting in a claustrophobic 2-person room, where it can feel like an interrogation, is less effective.

That should have been scaled by, at least, length of the circle of latitude (there are fewer people the nearer you go to the poles not only because it is cold there, but also because there’s less area), preferably also by land area on the circle of latitude.

Looking at the graph, I would guess that that combination explains quite a bit of the shape of the graph.
Sorry, but that's a pretty terrible definition of mental illness. Mental illness can be any case where your mind has fallen into a pattern of being chronically unhelpful to you; this can mean it doesn't report on reality correctly, or that it sends incorrect (or merely destructive) emotional signals, or whatever else.

That said, this is one of the reasons I like to think of it as "mental health" rather than "mental illness". It's more like weight/nutrition, where a person doesn't simply have a problem or not have a problem; it's a sliding-scale. Everyone's mind benefits from care, the degree of one's challenges just varies based on personal history and genetics.

This is too simple. A lot of depressed people know that the world is not as bad as they feel but they still feel bad. People with OCD know that the world won’t go under if they don’t count the number of traffic lights in the way home but the emotion is still there.

Only people with hardcore mental illness don’t even know that their perception of the world is not correct. Most people know but still can’t do anything about it.
I submitted it because I felt that you just don't see this kind of detail provided with electronics today. It amazed me to see the circuit boards and every detail of the stereo laid out in fine detail. It shows how in the past things were just different in terms of build quality and ability to repair things. Now days things have planned obsolescence and we are expected to replace the whole item. This service manual is for an old Sony stereo I just found on FB marketplace for $30. I found it interesting is why I posted it and thought others might as well. Thanks

It doesn't seem like such a language would be very useful, unless you mean a language developed specifically for a particular application.

A language can be made safe against invalid memory accesses and undefined behavior but if it prevents RCE then it must also prevent implementing remote procedure calls, meaning it's not general purpose.

Facebook Dating postponed in Europe over GDPR compliance
Pardon me for being cynical, but this feels like shallow tokenism to show how "progressive" the liberal-minority federal government of Canada is, just as most of their actions seem to be.

Canadians, especially those in densely populated cities with poor public transit like Toronto and Vancouver, already struggle to live day-to-day. Where are they going to get the money for an electric vehicle when:

- the average income in Ontario is $50-$60k (CAD), less than $4k per month net

- the rent on a one bed apartment is now averaging $2300

- despite zero service improvements, the cost of transit continues to be put up

- groceries are now extremely expensive compared to US and EU

- Internet, cellphones, etc. plans are more expensive than anywhere else

As a result, vast amounts of even "well paid" white collar workers can't live in the cities and instead move hours away and are forced to drive essentially everywhere, including into the cities for work.

30 years of stagnant incomes, increased taxes, soaring costs of living and unapproachable costs of housing and the government makes a song and dance of $8 million on EV chargers? Trudeau spent $600m keeping the fed-friendly media afloat [0], has committed $1.4bn to foreign "women's health" [1] and more.

The friendliness of Canadians is echoed in their sheer complacency with regards to their own governing. Whether it's a strength or a weakness is up to the individual to decide.

I am writing one as we speak (web based). Do you want a note when I get it out of the door?
Right. In the language of the article, if p is a whole number whose digits end in the number 2 then all numbers after it ending in the digits 0 or 2 are not prime. It’s a seemingly weak statement but it says a much stronger thing about the primes than the hypothesis of the article.

Anyway, just trying to react in tone to calling any number an “alien”. I think of numbers as being outside the realm of words like alien - I don’t even know what that would mean for a number. Hence my comment is hyperbole hinting at my love of mathematics. To me, it really is a beautiful area of study. Wish I could do it more.
I'm surprised that'd even work considering that all the reddit ads are first-party.
