Yes! Now we are making progress.

Police do not deserve the benefit of the doubt, ever, when they are working in their official capacity. They should have to bring proof.

I’d recommend checking out the Preppy from Platinum. It’s a great pen and a good deal cheaper than the Safari. https://unsharpen.com/pen/platinum-preppy-fountain-pen/ The Safari is a lot of fun but it’s less fun to experiment with a $25 pen than a few $3 ones!

Microsoft buying github just felt so wrong on so many levels to me. While I find it wierd gitlab hosts their servers in azure, or at least used to, I really like the ci/cd integration in GL and hope this works out for them.

XFCE is awesome, and is my second most used desktop after, well, Awesome.
Since police are in the habit of teargassing people who are not engaging in any violence that seems pretty inequitable.
I could see them being useful for keyboard designs with very few keys, like https://olkb.com/collections/planck.

If you have deeply-nested layers, having some way to identify what state your keyboard is in can be helpful. Having screens instead of LEDs is definitely an expensive luxury, though.
Trading costs are a thing. In an efficient market I would expect ex-ante negative performance versus the benchmark.
Ah yep, that’s all true. KDE apps are particularly fiddly to get running nicely outside of KDE as well.
I think it would be worthwhile to test gvim (which is known to have low latency), windows running at a higher refresh rate and a bios shell. I think the USB keyboard input standard itself is not great for latency unfortunately, but it would be good to know where the lower bound is.
Efficient Market Theory is dead because it is unfalsifiable.

It is not capable of being proved false, and should be discarded for that reason.

Information asymmetries exist, not everyone with better information have the access to capital or risk profile to alter the market price of an asset.
Thank you for the feedback. I feel that’s fair, even though I am a bit at a loss as to what you feel is indirectly related. The link was a
supposed to be a blog post from around this time last year which described the terrible news/issues resulting from centralization from the last month alone (Russia clamping down on free speech, Cambridge Analytica and anger at FB, etc.)

I would def welcome any constructive suggestions on how to make it more relevant. I want the problem and solution to be clear.
What an amazing coincidence.
Thank you for coming on. This quote caught my attention:

>The fact that more of the girls appear to have decreased in autism severity may be due to an increasing number of girls who have learned how to mask their symptoms.

What hypothesis exist to explain this gender disparity?

Not the person you're replying to, but I've had the blue-blocker (I think Costco calls them 'computer lenses' confusingly). They do shift colours towards the yellow range, but not as much as the computer "night shift" (so that the rest of the world looks normal) :) I've found that I can sit at my computer for longer, compared to when I didn't have blue-blocking lenses. It's probably just personal preference :)

I'm also very nearsighted :)

Well it doesn't help when the ostensible NATO allies barring the U.S. have never once met their full monetary or self-defense obligations.

Depends on how it's used. For example it could be useful for people protesting authoritarian governments, such as in Hong Kong. For blurring rioters during a crime spree, I don't think there's anything moral to be gained from protecting criminals.
It's really unfortunate to see how tightly product designers hold on to the traditional staggered-typewriter layout.

People tend to believe that more esoteric designs won't sell, but the $300+ model01 I'm typing this comment with begs to differ. It seems to me like they are targeting the wrong market.
I have compiled many fast methods in detail here: http://loup-vaillant.fr/tutorials/fast-scalarmult

Basically, adding point to itself n times requires O(log(n)) operations. That's how you can have n be as big as 2^255 or 2^448.

So yeah, you can still count back, but I'm not sure you'll be done before the heat death of the universe. There are better attacks than that, but they're still O(sqrt(n)), which is exponentially bigger than the O(log(n)) required for legitimate uses.
Vim/Unix/cli is generally what’s used prior to a specific editor being available for a language/topic.

It is as universal as a chainsaw and one of the few “programmmable” editors (sometimes it’s quicker to do a task “manually” in Vim than it is to write a program) ... vim’s native language is “semi-structured text” and it is wickedly powerful when used appropriately.

With the innovation of language servers and language clients, I think Vim is less necessary for “workaday” programmers.

Language-specific editors will give you refactoring, context sensitivity, in-line references, etc, and while Vim can get you there, a GUI will likely be a lot more convenient.

...but when you do need vim, accept no substitutes.
Are you trying to make a joke, or serious? Lot's of people fully believe MSM, so I have to ask.

Antifa is not anti-fascist, but anti-America. Just because they say it, their actions speak louder. Notice how they always try to silent anyone with violence that has a different view?

>Antifa, a movement in the United States is a militant, left-wing, anti-fascist political activist movement[7][11] which comprises autonomous activist groups that aim to achieve their political objectives through the use of direct action rather than through policy reform.[12][13][14] Activists engage in varied protest tactics, including digital activism, property damage, physical violence and harassment against those whom they identify as fascist, racist or on the far-right.[22]

I think of it like this. It requires massive amounts of money to do the types of things we are talking about, but when the other big players have gotten so used to suckling at the teet of the military industrial complex and it's wars, and comfortable in that utterly corrupt cycle, Musk was a man with a narrow focus to "get shit done" much more than "line the C's and boards pockets" .
Here's a quote from Thich Nhat Hanh. I wrote it out and I keep a copy near my desk.

You'll probably get as much moisture in the air from a hot shower or boiling a bunch of pasta.

Regardless of the source of moisture, this is a sign of poor construction via not using proper building science. The vapour barrier needs to be on the warm side of the insulation so there are no cold spots where condensation can occur.

> Vastly more data generally trumps better analysis.

If you mean more data in the sense of more covariates, sure. If you mean more data in terms of just more observations, no way. Not when it comes to causal inference.
More interesting than "Is EMH dead?" is our improving understanding of the efficiency of incorporating new information into markets is getting better.

I'll refer you below to Andrew Lo's "Adaptive Market Hypothesis" which:

"is an attempt to reconcile economic theories based on the efficient market hypothesis (which implies that markets are efficient) with behavioral economics, by applying the principles of evolution to financial interactions: competition, adaptation and natural selection."[1]

Presumably they're creeped out because they believe your emotional responses are simulated and that your engagement in phatic discourse is inauthentic?

But how they can they tell the difference? And even if they can how do they know that this isn't also true of everybody else, only that others are superior fakers?

How can they even know that their own responses are authentic? I ask because I'm really not sure about this in my own mind.
And here I was hoping it was a normal keyboard, with eink key caps. Instead it's what looks like the worst possible design for implementing a solidly obvious idea.

(I still don't know why people tried this with LED screen keycaps instead of doing eink first, and then were surprised a $250, one-trick keyboard didn't fly off the shelves)

> So, although I agree that "the universe" in general is much more complex, I haven't found that to be true about the part individual developers are expected to understand.

That's probably true. I think the person I was responding to felt like they would want to understand more than they're necessarily expected by others to, though. I kind of share that sentiment, and they also mentioned impostor syndrome, so I wanted to express my feeling that if you want to understand "the universe" (and not just what's necessary in order to fulfill the what's expected of you), that's probably more complex nowadays than it maybe was back when the field was even younger.

You have a longer perspective on that development than I do, though (I started in the early 2000's or so), so thanks for sharing.
First 30–60–90 Days in a New Product Manager Job
> PSA: I assume this is going to repeat this year, so any student reading this shouldn't be choosy when it comes to placements, getting a job should be the utmost priority if you/family are dependent on it.

You can even skip that last part. The first job really is the hardest, so if you find something that's in a location you want and there's a internal or external path to a role you'd rather have, that job's a winner. There's also a lot of value in trying different things in the space, even if you think something isn't for you.

Complete recording of every conversation leads to transparency along with atrocious decisions, due to groupthink among other things.

It's a most unfortunate dilemma, but it's a strong, well-documented phenomenon and you can't wish it away.

An example of groupthink:

I've been in a room, chairing a meeting, where everyone agreed on a definite course of action. Full consensus (except me).

When I asked each person after the meeting what they personally wanted, literally 100% of them disagreed with the decision they had affirmatively consented to. The actual decision was something nobody wanted. The option was only even brought up because people believed (wrongly) that other people would want it.

All of them "went along" with what they believed was the view of others in the room. They wanted lower friction; nobody wanted problems from dissenting (which includes time wasted in meetings due to believing there are different views to reconcile, even when that isn't actually true).

Unfortunately all guessed incorrectly what the view of others was, then went along with their guess.

When it's a big decision, it's tragic when that happens. Public duty has a lot of those.

When performing public duty, you must have transparency, and avoid corruption, but you also must have intelligent group information sharing, reasoning and decisions.

But you can't have them all. Wishing won't make it so. Choose your poison.

Or better, choose a multi-layered system with well-placed compromises to get both intelligence and transparency in some measure, in whatever arrangement provides best results.

I like what the Chatham House Rule wikipedia page says on this:

> It is designed to reduce the risk of what has come to be described as groupthink, where unpopular views are excluded from discussion, reducing the range of opinions an organisation can discuss.

With regards to corruption, one theory is that you need enough transparency that corruption cannot thrive; beyond that you get diminishing returns along with negative consequences in other areas. For a manufacturing analogy to corruption: To perform quality assurance that a batch of components is good, you don't need to measure every component, you only need to measure a random subset, chosen by the tester.

My ergodox, lily58, atreus, and soon sofle also beg to differ.
You only do new things if you believe you will fail if you don't.

Established companies have an expectation of success if they just keep doing what they are doing, so anything new is an unacceptable risk.

> The police don't target racial minorities because they are racist.

Depends on what you mean by “they.” Individual officers are a mixed bag, but someone else mentioned the ties between police and right-wing/racist groups. “The police” as an institution however is definitely racist.

> The police don't target racial minorities because they are racist. People who want power over others sign up for policing - and then go after groups who have the least ability to fight back.

The fact that racial minorities have the least ability to fight back is a significant component of institutional racism. Why are they in that position in the first place? Because the USA has not yet excised from its culture the racist policies, values, and attitudes that it has held since before its foundation.

Power usage, I suppose.
> For starters, I can't just go to Apples website to download an image that will boot on my PC.

Are you auguring about licensing here? macOS's obviously not open-source so you cannot just download it off their website for free but you can absolutely boot in on your PC, there's an entire Hackintosh community around it.

If what you're trying to say is that a Hackintosh is not a supported configuration, there are entire databases with supported hardware for Linux. If you have an incompatible component, you're running an unsupported configuration.

But moving onto Windows, the hardware there needs to be compatible too, it's just that going into Walmart you're likely to run into PCs designed with Windows in mind, due to the whole IBM/MS pact of the 80s and the resulting IBM PC clone industry preinstalling Microsoft software ever since. Linux came after MS was already preinstalled on most PCs, so you have to specifically seek it out.

Pretending that this isn't the case, the playing field was fair and "Windows" just won is dishonest at best.

> But this is a purely hypothetical question, nobody knows if the software world would have developed differently if Windows would not be preinstalled.

If you're telling me that in a world where 99% of PCs are Linux preinstalled, kids are familiar with Linux from school and nonetheless people are going out of their way to manually install Windows on them, I think you're selling me a bridge.

I don't see people demanding the ability to install Windows onto a Raspberry Pi for example, (yes there's Windows for IoT, not the same).
The article reads like it was written by someone who has a deep interest in finance, but hasn't worked much in the industry. Markets are quite efficient, but there are pockets of risk premia driven by regulatory/intermediary constraints and plain old behavioral bias. Then again, if he knew about them, he presumably wouldn't write about them in an internet blog post.
DNS is good but it is a federated database, and thus the root is controlled by one one organization (ICANN) with 7 keys. And below that, the tlds are controlled by organizations — .org was recently almost sold.

But that’s not really the main issue. The main issue is this whole way we think about the Web is propped up by DNS.

Facebook.com is the root domain for a lot of brand pages and profiles. Why? They built the software and you don’t have it. Then they ran the server farm and infrastructure. You would not think like this is we used hashes and DHTs instead of human readable URLs prefixed by facebook.com

There’s a “well-known” Bill Gates and he’s the “real, verified” Bill Gates. We can email him at billg@microsoft.com ... why? Why should he get all this SPAM from being famous?

The alternative is just having a Distributed Hash Table / Kademlia type routing (“magnet links”)

DNS is only good for quickly getting you to a tiny subset of resources on the web, namely the front pages of sites that are easy to spell. That’s just a glorified search engine. It can have competition. In fact, many non technical people typethe domain into the google search box.

Any resources can be addressed by QR codes, hyperlinks on the Web or Javascript variables containing links. Titles and metadata can be cached. And so on.

The PKI may still have to be a federated system for now but the search engine doesn’t have to be.
it's better not to target any fraction of the population until you have some reason to suspect that an individual has committed a crime.

My actual kid graduated to grown up pens once school stopped requiring the standard set of kid's hardware, but I prefer the lighter weight.

For me, using a heavy pen is like eating with silver utensils: inconvenient and thus seemingly pretentious. But some people value the heft for functional, as well as style purposes. To each their own!

I want to start by acknowledging that's a totally legitimate perspective.

I'm curious though - do you think you'd be fine with only doing walks and TV for 40+ hours a week? Personally I got interested in computers and programming very early, and at first it was 100% a leisure activity. It stayed at roughly that level of exciting for me until probably 6 months to a year into being employed as a developer, but it's no longer the #1 thing I like to do when I'm not at work. My current situation is work with a side of typical relaxation (watch tv, browse the internet, etc.), but I expect when I eventually retire I'll start spending a bunch of leisure time on programming and general messing-with-computers stuff again.
