Things and person I guess? This is in research, but any research is about communicating ideas. People need other people to help with their research and strategize the next steps, and it's hard to properly explain your thoughts and engage people with your ideas if you aren't in the same room with zero body language and have to speak one person at a time, and are bogged down by having too many zoom meetings to make up for the lack of informal meetings to do any real deep work with the time left.

It's a two pronged effect that myself and colleagues are experiencing: the meetings themselves aren't very productive due to the lack of in person communication and need to be longer to share the same quantity of information and understanding, by having to coordinate meetings between multiple people they are perfectly interspersed such that you can't really get any deep work done until 5pm rolls around and you can start burning the midnight oil uninterrupted.

Plus there is the mental side. We are friends who work together as much as we are collegues, and losing that side of interactions is tough for everyone. If I we had been working remote full time I would have never made these friendships stemming from casual random conversations, which imo really improves productivity in the group more than anything else.

> I don't think self-driving cars are realistic at all.
...
> I feel in the minority in thinking self driving tech will ever be viable.

Take out "cars" from that phrase and I think there might be a different answer to it, sooner or later.

Specifically I liked Otto's original proposals and it sounded almost viable. The idea of having a Sacramento -> Chicago or Houston to Dallas routes for trucking with autonomous vehicles, with the last mile routes covered by normal container trucks sounded like it would work in the near term.

The fact that these are big rig trucks ensures the unit volume cost of the hardware isn't going to be a big problem (a 25k computer in a 35k car vs a 120k one in a 800k truck), the servicing can be legally mandated (patch upgrades or cleaning cameras), the power supply management can also be handled if they want to go electric with a container + rig model.

There are fewer questions about a long haul highway only self-driving route, maybe even something which will change the economics of shipping stuff through the panama canal vs going over land in a hub-spoke model without a train depot style unloading/inventory station.

I doubt that good looking women have such an easy life as you seem to think. Being attractive goes along with sexual harassment from the early teens onwards - stares, commdnts, unwanted touching, .. This doesn't stop until they turn 40+. I've seen 12(ish) year olds or moms with small children getting lewd comments.

In later years attractive women struggle exactly because of the trope you describe - all their achievements are doubted because others think those are just due to their looks and genetic lottery. And they can never be sure whether a male offer of support is genuine kindness or collegiality or an attempt to get in their pants.

Another example: I travel 2x/month for work. When I do I go for runs, roam late around the neighbourhoods of unknown areas to take photos, grab a beer and chat with locals, etc. I dont have to fear too much harm beyond a robbery. My female colleagues all have a very similar travel schedule but they don't see or experience nearly as much of the cities they travel to, simply because as a woman you have to fear much more for your bodily integrity than us men.

Not saying anyone is really at fault here (except our fellow men that don't respect boundaries/common decency) or that being unattractive is better (especially for women that has its own downsides) but it definitely is not all rainbow and sunshine just because a woman has good looks. Be kind to all, whether beautiful or not.
That was a lot of juvenile fun.

Yes, ETS is the usual go-to but there's also `:persistent_term`[0] for very rare (or never) changing caches.

There are libraries that combine Erlang/Elixir's caching mechanisms in an attempt to achieve the best performance for most scenarios[1] as well.

Technically, ETS is not perfect because it copies data from its mutable cache to the process that requests it. But it's still orders of magnitude faster than outsourcing that to Redis.

I like building pretty skeletons of a product first, which helps to dream up natural interfaces uninfluenced by the structure of a "backend". I've seen a lot of people conforming their frontend to some predetermined backend structure completely ruining the end user experience.

And yet Phoenix hasn't stolen a significant amount of market share from Rails.

> There are a number of web frameworks that perform much better than Rails

If you're measuring hardware loads and busting out your stopwatch to measure response times, then sure.

Bottom line is, there are plenty of good reasons to choose Rails over Phoenix. If you want to label choosing a well-backed framework with an incredibly mature ecosystem "cargo culting" then by all means.

Have fun writing Ecto queries by hand, wiring up document storage on your own, trying to find a standout auth library of choice like devise, finding a library that makes managing database views less of a pain, wiring up end-to-end system testing.

I'll be over here running rails new, wiring up sidekiq to ActiveJob, and building shit with ease.
There are others to help you hone it in. Put mandatory things in quotes or with preceding +. There are also operators for inurl: and also filetype: (or ext:) that I have used often enough when looking for things that come in specific formats.

EDIT: I just read one of your other responses. Take a look at adding site: to the google searches. You could only do one site (reddit, hn, slashdot, etc) at a time, but it's still at least an easy way to get specific results.
A workaround is to use LittleSnitch (or Windows Firewall Control if on Windows) and block everything Adobe except what you actually need.

No freaking app should ever be given this much or any control over a user computer. Every app (except system maintenance tools and other apps which genuinely need full access to fulfill their very purpose) should be constrained within a directory meant right for it + the files the user wants them to open.
Sony shows off first combination image sensor and AI chip
"Illusion, Michael..."
Creative Cloud is also spyware, transmitting and uploading your logs and activity within the apps silently and without your consent. I use Little Snitch and deny them almost all network access after the first ten minutes they are installed/activated. It’s a big patchwork of stuff, much of it running as admin, including node and other stuff. I don’t trust it at all, and would have a dedicated machine or VM for it if it were practical.

Hopefully I can move to the KDE video editor for NLE, and Pixelmator is already better than Photoshop IMO. The only other two I need to replace are Lightroom and After Effects. I think the latter will be hard/impossible.
I can do the same with Elixir's Phoenix, with exactly 3 lines in a production console like in your example.

What you describe is not exclusive to Rails.
> Do people buy hypnotism from cam folksover video chat? And if so, what would constitute a breach of consent?

Well it's like anything else in that trade, some people like live, some would rather pre-order custom made content. Hypnosis is a big rabbit hole I'd rather not get too far into and we're already on the fringe of HN's overton window. One example might be trying to implant suggestions to give them more money.

Maybe the best analogy would be that a good hypnotist is a almost like a FAANG in living human form; They're just trying to convince you to do/think something. And, well, there's some things you just don't want to be sold. :)
And it's not even ideological bias, it's more like the tribes from Survivor.

Just because it has not been done before, doesn't mean trying to do so (i.e. make a science of history) is invalid or just cargo culting. Especially since GP referred to other social sciences, and named neuroscience. It has not been done for history, maybe it never will be. I don't think generalizing this to all social sciences holds up. Surely there are some falsifiable predictions of psychology, sociology etc that has been tested.

Why socialist revolution advanced on backward countries instead of the most advanced capitalist ones, like Marx "prophetized" (in a simplistic reading)? This question is one of the most profound ones, and is debated in socialist circles before, during and after 1917.

Read Gramsci "The Revolution against Das Kapital" (1917), Trotsky predicting the Russian revolution in "Results and Prospects" (1908), and most of all, read about the concept of uneven and combined development. You will find a richness of thought not seen in other places, and marxism in a very different (and non-linear) light.

I’ve always been extremely dubious about the “self driving to save lives” angle for one very specific reason: we already know how to save lives. Slow. The. Cars. Down. Oslo managed to get their car deaths down to 1 in 2019. 1, in a city of 600,000. Los Angeles killed 240 that year, or 36x more per capita.

And yet, we don’t actually apply any known techniques to reduce fatalities. If we really cared about saving lives, we’d implement these measures today rather than banking on a long term tech solution.

I believe that self driving is about a fantasy world in which we can ignore all the negative consequences of a low density, car centric world. Pedestrian deaths? AI magic will solve it. Long commutes? Just eat breakfast in your car! Emissions? Why well just switch over to EVs! Never mind that half of this tech is either not real, or orders of magnitude less efficient than the transit that Europe has used for almost half a century!

The truth is we can fix all of these things right now, but it would involve sacrifices for those whom the system is already benefitting. So instead we’ve made up a fantasy world where we can have our cake and eat it too.

I’m not finding much searching around either. I probably have an old spinning rust drive somewhere with the files still on them. This was somewhere around the CS5 or CS6 days, pre-subscription model.

From memory, in addition to sticking some pseudo-randomly named files in /System/Library, /Library, and -/Library, it would place a file in the root directory of all hfs+ volumes with xattrs set to hide and write-protect the file. Installers would then look for these files to check licensing status.

At the time, this was a fairly common trick with pro/prosumer proprietary software.

Not just electricity, but basic physics.

I once heard something from someone I never want to agree with but it was a decent point. If intelligence is part of the biological lottery and we value it as an employer for all the advantages it could bring your business, then it's fair to think that someone who is attractive has won a similar genetic lottery and it could bring similar benefits to your business.

It's something I want to disagree with, except I can see that there is more truth to it than not, even if it goes against what I believe the world should be.

This applies much mote to actors within a securities market (both investors and issuers), not necessarily to this or that market itself. Most people's behavior is non ergodic.

I think this is neglecting that it does take effort to maintain the appearance of being attractive even if there is a genetic lottery component. Additionally it's work that is often ultimately temporary akin to being an NFL player or dancer in which you can only do the thing you've been working at for a relatively short period.

There is a popular narrative along that line, but no. It is quite clear that this wasn't their goal.

Their plan was to lead the USA into a war in the Middle East. There they would demonstrate that we could hit hard but had no staying power, and so could be beaten. Once that was demonstrated, they would be able to create a religious caliphate that could sweep away the corrupt secular rulers that were oppressing Muslims and recreate the religious empire that used to exist.

We in fact gave them the war that they wanted in Iraq. We did hit hard. We were then sucked into a protracted operation. And as we looked to exit they created the caliphate and named it ISIS. It has since been defeated. Even if things are not going as we hoped in the Middle East, they are more dramatically not going as they hoped either.

For an explanation of how we know that this was their goal all along, read https://www.amazon.com/Americas-Secret-War-Worldwide-Struggl....
