As I understand it, "decision fatigue" is a particular explanation for the observation in people's own lives and the observation of other people that decision-making seems to get worse after long stretches of decision-making. If I've observed, for instance, that I make more bad decisions at work later in the day, no one is necessarily saying that I am fooling myself (although to be honest I would prefer to see rigorous studies even of that claim, since judging the value of one's own thoughts and decisions is pretty well-known to suffer from many biases).

In this case I'm willing to accept that decision-making does tend to get worse after long stretches, but I'm more concerned with how to verify this particular explanation for why decision-making gets worse, and for that I think it's vitally important to do controlled experiments. One's own experience almost certainly has no explanatory power for why decision-making is getting worse.

It's certainly a reasonable guess that my decision-making is getting worse because I've had to make many decisions today. But there are also other reasonable guesses. Maybe it's my diet, and I had more energy immediately after breakfast and lunch but less energy later in the afternoon. Maybe sunlight has an effect. Maybe simply knowing that I get to go home from work soon makes me less invested in decisions at the end of the day.

A less reasonable guess would be something like "when the afternoon train starts running my decision-making gets worse." It still naively fits my observations, but we can probably agree that a controlled test would likely show this explanation to be incorrect (but who knows, maybe the train is loud and distracts me, or makes me think about my upcoming commute home!).

These are all things that can probably be controlled for, and it wouldn't be too shocking to me if the number of decisions made in a day is not in fact a significant explanation for why the later decisions are poorer. I haven't even seen the study that was preemptively dismissed, but I'd like to.
Calendars, clocks, real-time notifications, and video chats are all anti-patterns, distracting developers from their zone of genius. Just send a concise email at the beginning/end of the day/week. (One can only dream..)

IMO the biggest problem is people "feel safe" with a mask on, they may not take other precautions.

Also my understanding is that a N95 mask that isn't properly worn (doesn't have a good seal) then it's nearly equivalent to no mask at all.

So you combine those two together and you have people who aren't effectively protected by the mask and are making riskier decisions.
> I'm sorry that you feel trapped, that's not our intention.

Please don't do this.
You can apologize for your actions work to improve in the future , but you cannot apologize for how someone feels as a result of your actions.

Also, intent doesn't matter unless you plan to change your behavior to undo or mitigate the unintended result.
Many solutions. You have the anti airborne respiratory mask which is very effective.http://chemexoticshop.com/product/buy-o2-breath-mask-online/
This is the most concerning part. What do "regular" content creators (read: no legal team) do to remove these kinds of invalid copyright strikes?
Thats for me the most frustrating thing with GCP, AWS and Azure. I would never use them as a very early small 3 people startup or for private reasons.

There is no billing protection (which could make you very poor very fast) and every service has a certain cost and quality which is just not feasable in the beginning.

Even GKE with its free kubernetes master does block a lot of resources on the nodes: https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/concepts/clu...

Also a ton of great features on gke you will probably never use if you are too small. It is so much cheaper to just get cheap hardware somewhere and put your own k8s onto it if you have more time then money.

Even on Digital Ocean you have the load balancer problem: you need to use the provided and also 'costly' LoadBalancer service. There is only one hacky way to prevent it by exposing your ingress on the host and mapping that one ip but then you loose all the self healing stuff and loadbalancing capability.
I used to spend a lot of time writing Powershell (b/w versions 3-5). Absolutely loved the language, but my love for it fell off after learning more commonly-used scripting languages like Python and Ruby.

It's the best native scripting platform you can get on Windows, but some of its primitives (functions, classes) are weird, parallelism (at least in the v5 days) was massively hacky (process-based instead of thread-based through the PSJob abstraction, though you can use native threads if you put in some work) and its syntax and overall behavior makes it feel more like a scripting language than something you'd use to build real apps (even though you can). This makes it a really tough sell to use on MacOS and Linux, even though it's based on .NET Core and you totally could.
I think if the rich family knew what the hidden family was doing they would have fired her and called the police. I think that's a totally normal and understandable reaction, but it's not the most moral reaction, which would be to help the hidden family. I think this cuts against your argument because the richest people aren't extremely moral, whereas they would be if point was that morality follows wealth. Consider the party scene where the rich father cares more for his fainted son than the stabbed poor daughter.

I think your attempt to perceive and expose my biases is unsound. I called her a diligent servant because she is, and to contrast her with the poor family. The diligent servant works hard, does her job, and earns even the extra she takes for her husband. The poor family don't really know how to do their jobs, consider the father's inattention while driving or the daughter's made up therapy, and they perform their jobs haphazardly.

The diligent servant is doing what she's doing because otherwise loan sharks will kill her husband. The poor family is doing what they're doing to make more money. The point is that the original housekeeper is behaving morally and picking the best of bad options. The poor family is behaving immorally by lying, getting people fired, poisoning the housekeeper, and stealing. Both are poor and only the main family is immoral, which again rebuts your interpretation.
Fair question!

"Duck typing" can be implicit, if you can call quack() on this() without error, you (the programmer) assume it's a Duck. The language may make it explicit (loosely structural typed like in golang, or other variations), or implicit (like in ruby). There are varying degrees, but you should be able to have a collection of the "Ducks" and be able to invoke quack() on them all.

Can't really say I see the connection with reflection. If quack() fails, you can get an error, either at runtime or compile-time. So no reflection required, though using reflection you may avoid errors dynamically.

Structural Typing as a concept is much better defined though.
This is very biased for the giant companies, you have laws to protect companies with copyright and anti hacking laws but when is time for protecting the normal people we can't modify or add a new law. I would be fine with no protection law but then I should be able to crack, pirate and reverse engineer software and hardware.
_were_ free. (Emphasis yours.)
But people I know who are trying this gig economy part-time can pick their own "clientele": Uber, Lyft, Postmates, Door Dash, etc... they work for whichever client they want, on their own schedule. As an "employee" of Uber, I doubt they will want you working for competitors.
It seems pretty trivial (though perhaps not scalable) to do some kind of image recognition that looks for the Fleet format and flag it for review / policing.
I can't seem to get people to agree on the point of unit tests either.

Nowhere is this more apparent than when we argue about test coverage %'s. There's a whole bimodal distribution of people very wrong for very different reasons.
I used Powershell a lot last year and it is really amazing to be able to script things like Azure Information Protection and use Azure Application Insights for logging..!

(Of course, Microsoft being Microsoft one still needed to install MS Office on the server to use Azure Information Protection on a pdf or even a txt file...)
We found the issue. When you have "Delete cookies and site data when Firefox is closed" set we weren't handling things correctly. Fixed and pushed. As an aside, we couldn't reproduce this locally and used an ephemeral environment to figure it out. Let me know if it works for you now.
Why can’t it be both?

Microsoft has their own selfish reasons for wanting people to use powershell, while at the same time MS open sourcing powershell and providing it as a cross-platform tool people can use on their platform of choice benefits the open-source community?

Do you honestly think the open source projects from the likes of Apple, Google, Amazon, Twitter or Facebook is based on their good wishes and interests for “the open source community” (whatever that may be)? Really?
It's probably more that most mainstream typed languages, like C, C++, Java, C#, etc. have mainly gone down the nominal route, as opposed to languages like Standard ML and Typescript that tend to be more structural.

Structural vs. nominal typing is pretty well known in programming language design circles, but circulating that knowledge is a constant uphill challenge. One of the reasons many of us are frustrated with Go's designers were how quickly they threw this work under the bus as part of their initial marketing strategy, which kind of knocks away the ladder for anyone else who is curious to learn about this stuff.
What makes you think that a competing hosting service is going to result in competition that benefits the users, and not the rights-holders?

The rights holders may end up playing the two services against eachother, and use the more draconian policy of one as arguments for making the other more friendly to their interests.

They have a lot more skin in the game than users do.
I think it's really interesting to contrast this with Stroustroup's advice on concepts: "My rule of thumb is to avoid “single property concepts.”".

He gives an excellent example leading to this dictum: single property interface "Drawable". Let Shape implement drawable with widely expected results. But: let Cowboy implement Drawable -- now with disastrous consequences. The solution to this dilemma is as stated above, not to allow concepts/interfaces/{wave hands} to refer to a single object -- for example, a number is a concept which refers to multiple operations (i.e. methods).

To my mind, this feels right, albeit initially surprising. It makes me think that e.g. the "Neg" interface in Rust is wrong.

See: http://www.stroustrup.com/good_concepts.pdf
I dont think technical distinctions really matter in this case. Uber are trying to provide a cheaper service, by simply fucking over their workers, nothing else. And that should be stopped.

Are you sure this is the law in France?
And remember that Uber operates in several countries. When discussions about this happens we have to remember that each country have it's own rules and laws, and we cannot expect that the law in your country is the only law exists.
It doesn't take that much skill to know that a certain stretch of road doesn't have cell signal and how to set fire to a truck. It takes even less skill when you know there's no human on the truck to stop you
No, it does not mean you are stupid or lying. It means you have the same crappy way of knowing things as we all do. It is conventional wisdom among parents that giving kids sugar makes them hyper.

They have pretty categorically disproved this idea with studies in which children are dropped off and then returned to parents having been randomly given a sugary treat before hand and half given a non sugary treat. In follow up calls the parents did no better than chance in correlating their child's excitement level to whether they received the sugary treat or not. It doesn't mean anyone is dumb or lying. It just means personal experience isn't good for knowing certain kinds of things are true or not.
The start time is a major disadvantage behind Powershell. It takes 3 seconds to load even if you disable profiles completely versus <1 second for Python, Ruby or Bash.
> it's a huge breath of fresh air as a formal documentation language.

Yeah! When I started with TLA+ I was mostly enamored with model checking and proofs. Those turned out to be useful, but the unexpected use of being a really great way to write crisp descriptions of protocols and algorithms is probably a bigger benefit. That's one of the reasons I tend to choose PlusCal over "raw" TLA+ these days: it's easier for others to read and engage with.

After publishing this paper, I had a great email conversation with Leslie Lamport about this use of TLA+. We talked about TLA+'s use as a "low ambiguity documentation" tool, and some of the cases where we've been able to resolve conversations about ambiguities in our implementation because we had the TLA+ spec to fall back on.

This is entirely a self-interested move by Microsoft.

They want PowerShell to be the standard shell for managing Azure and Office 365.

They have Azure customers that aren't Windows users, so they have to cater for them. That's it.

Mind you, there's nothing wrong with this, it makes perfect business sense!
That is not absolute truth. If it were you would eschew kubernetes altogether and just use VMs.

Everything is a tradeoff. If you want total isolation, you pay for it. If you don't want to pay for it, you make more value-based tradeoffs.

Concretely, Google runs "a handful" of "pretty reliable" services on a relatively small number of clusters.
Right. The DMCA takedown process is more reasonable in this regard: if you post a counter-notice, the service provider puts your content back up and the party trying to make a copyright claim has to sue you. YouTube, on the other hand, makes purported copyright holders the absolute judge of their own cases.
I have a hunch this is actually being done to hurt Uber drivers and save the already well-regulated Cab industry in France.

> growing khat is more lucrative than growing food

Could you please clarify more ? I think I am missing something. If khat pays more wouldn't it mean you can sell khat and buy food with that money ?

A strike is a DMCA notice that's submitted. That can be counternoticed and the only way to prevent that is filing a lawsuit within 10 business days.

If you look at Electric Boat Company (they make our subs), and Newport News Shipyards(carriers), there is a big reason they get refit work etc. Because they would collapse as an industry and it would be impossible to build that kind of staffing/expertise up in short order again.

Buy a large SSD like 2-8TB (just avoid the Samsung 860 QVO 4TB, it sucks more power during write than USB A standard allows) and buy a nice case like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07D2BHVBD and mount it there. Work from the external SSD, it's fast enough in my opinion.
Use the cloud only for backup purposes whenever the drive is attached (I use Insync for that but this is Google Drive centric).
The judgment is based on the combination of all these criteria.

In your scenario, you are the craftman’s direct client, a contract will be signed between you and them, not with some wrapping entity.

If you need additional work on the shed you can call that same person, renegociate a price for the additional job and continue the relationship. Same if you have claims, if you need to cancel the job for any reason for instance. And you can both agree to renegociate the contract under your own terms.

That direct relation is only a part of the whole picture, but I think it’s a significant point.
In Canada we have fiduciaries, but most people aren't that financially literate. If you walk into a bank and ask for a financial advisor they're just going to pass you to a sales rep. Enjoy your TD e-Series!

The same system exist in France: taxi driver must own a medallion ('plaque') which they purchase from someone retiring, rent from a taxi company, or get issued by the city (this is theoretical in large cities: very few new medallions are created).

Anecdotally, the taxi company owning the medallion are not allowed to rent them: so instead they rent cars to their contractors, and lend the medallions to their renters.
This is incorrect. If a rights owner refuses to retract in the face of a dispute, YouTube will require them to convert it into a DMCA notice and will then honor any counternotice.
The inability to negotiate is the key point. On the point about choice, there are areas where drivers can drive for Uber or Lyft though so some drivers do have choice.

If infra for food transportation does not exist then the point is even more valid.

If I have village where no food can be imported and limited amount of agricultural land. If I grow khat how am I going to feed my family if outside food can not come in ? Will the villagers be willing to pay more khat even when food is scarce ? I think I am missing something.
This is a fair point. We don't have an HA (multi-master) zonal offering either, because mostly people don't want that.
I see, that makes sense

> We also used to strive for minimizing complexity, I'm not sure how much of that was intentional or just a consequence of limited space while RAM was so expensive.

Though I hate to admit it, I think it's the latter. We're now more able to shift complexity. We can add a big complexity layer (a framework, for example, with someone else being responsible for it) to avoid some complexity in another layer. The trouble comes when you need to understand the whole, including the layer you're not responsible for, to understand how that layer is affecting you.
Yeah, it makes it useless for short scripts. But I think a lot of that’s the .NET runtime start-up time. So getting rid of it might be challenging.

Let's say you roll a dice with 100 sides. If you roll a 1, you die. If you roll anything else, you live. We want to know the probability you will die if you roll the dice 100 times.

One way we could do this is look at the probability you'll roll it on the first roll... then the probability you won't roll it on the first roll but you will on the second roll... and so on. But that's a lot of math.

The probability of an event (death) and its complement (not death) totals 1.0. So one way we can get the probability of death is 1.0 - the probability of life.

Okay, so the only way you'll live if is if survive all 100 rolls. Each dice roll is independent (surviving the first dice roll doesn't affect the second dice roll which doesn't affect the third). So each individual dice roll has probability 0.99 of survival. For joint probability, we can multiply these together. The probability of getting heads on a coin twice is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25. So in our situation here, p(survival) = 0.99, and 100 times means 0.99^100, to get the probability of survival. 0.99^100 = 0.36. 36% chance of survival.

The probability of death is thus 1 - 0.36 = 0.64. 64% chance of death.
