I completely agree on vision point. every indivisual need to have clear vision on what you want to be in coming 1 month/year or couple of years. Good to have both short term and long term goals. achieving shortterm goals motivate for longterm goals. I give more importance to personal than professional.

I feel motivated when I look at my goals. Definitely I do sometimes feel down start thinking it is impossible to achieve. For such days I prepared list of things I achieved so far and I am grateful for. It can be as simple as the day I got independent and started earning, Bought new jewellery to my mom etc. These days are very special and bring lot of joy and inspiration to perform better and work toward my future goals.

Also never compare my journey with other people. everyone's journey is different. Having few common things doesn't mean you both are same with same level of capacities. each person's tolerance, will power, IQ different. This understanding made me to not get demotivated by looking at some peer achievements.

Aunt Jemima brand to change name, remove image based on a racial stereotype
Up to the mid-70s psychoanalysis was one of the core clinical practices in American psychiatry (the evidence is the shift between the DSM-II in 1974 and the DSM-III in 1980), and what psychoanalysis means by "schizophrenia" is something entirely different from what the modern approach means.

This was a wildly serious problem. Psychoanalysis was really only practiced at scale in the US and Argentina, so people made up theories of why New Yorkers were more psychotic than Londoners (this is somewhere in "Listening to Prozac").

I think what has happened in the mental health field (and I've been a psychiatric patient-consumer for 15 years) is that the DSM movement has finally fixed definitions in place. But defining something doesn't mean it exists (except as a cluster of symptoms that front-line clinicians treat out of "data science" type knowledge). It's possible that the only clear-cut differential diagnostic is the one made by Kraepelin in the 1890s between what's now called bipolar and "precocious dementia" (more or less schizophrenia, but who knows what schizophrenia IS rather than IS NOT). And even this is challenged in the literature. How could it not -- looking at an episode and not doing the elegant analyses made possible to Kraepelin from working in a psych ward full of unmedicated bipolars -- how could you distinguish manic and schizophrenic hallucinations?

My doctors have kept me reading the academic journal literature over the years (abeit literature about bipolar, not dissociative disorders); but by the same token I figure it's difficult to place someone's multiple-personality story in any one of the available boxes (dissociative disorders, together with amnesias and fugues; schizophrenia; malingering). What the bleep do we know.

I'd more than happily contribute to such a project! Backgammon is to chess what boxing is to fencing and I love boxing.
I see where they are coming from, but this seems backwards to me. I would like to block all commercial ads, but it seems really important to me that people see political ads. Granted, the current campaigns in the US are messed up and most ads look like propaganda, but this is a narrow view of what politics can be.

Because on the other hand, as a political activist I know how incredibly hard it is to get your message out there. I mean just the hard facts that people might not know about, and our suggested solutions.

The internet and social media provides a slightly leveled playing field: Sure a small social movement can never compete against a billion dollar campaign, but this is a pareto-law distribution where they quickly hit diminishing returns. With a few well timed Twitter posts I hand can reach thousands of people. In the pre-digital world, we would have had to print thousands of flyers, tried to get into newspapers etc..

I find it frustrating and damaging to democracy that politics is viewed as something dirty. Politics should be just a domain of problem solving and discussion like programming, home improvement, or cooking - except that everybody should have a say since it affects everybody. Why do we assume everybody in politics has sinister intentions?

BountySource has been evil for a long time. They don't reach out to maintainers before accepting payments for arbitrary github issues - I had to email them four times to have my projects unlisted.
> So while Go may be quick to write. I think the understandably is deceiving. Yes, I can understand every line, but understanding the program/patch as a whole becomes much more difficult because of the lack of abstraction. Humans can only hold so much in our head, making abstraction a critical tool for understandable code. So while too much of the medicine can be worse that the disease I think Go aimed - and hit - far, far below the ideal abstraction level.

I think this is the fundamental point of contention. Go aims at abstraction at the package level. Each package exports a set of types and functions which are "magic" to outsiders and can be used by outsiders - an API, if you will. Rust seems to aim at abstraction at the line level - each line is an abstract "magic" representation of what it is meant to do.

In your Go code, the only pieces of line-level magic are `range` and arguably `append` (even though I would argue it is integral to the concept of slices). And of course the API magic of `fetchData` and `abs` which is in both versions.

On the other hand, Rust has .iter(), .map(), .filter_ok() and .collect(). So, while I think anyone could understand the Go code if you explained `range` to them, I do not understand the Rust code. Yes, I understand what it does, but I have no clue how it does it. What is the type of .iter()? Why can I map over it? Why can I filter a map?

But that's not the point of the Rust code. The Rust code expresses what should be done, not how it is to be done.

The way Rust deals with complexity is by offering tools which push that complexity into the type system, so you do not have to keep everything in your head. The way Go deals with complexity is by eliminating it and, when that is not possible, by making sure it does not cross API boundaries. In Go you do keep everything in your head.

That's a Go feature.
I did mention pushing savers into real estate and other assets. Lots of people are flipping houses simply because thay cannot get decent returns on bank savings anymore.

Same goes for professional money managers of all kinds who simply cannot provide decent returns to their customers by buying bonds like old school. So they are forced to chase yields in other risky assets.

Also with bank savings everyone has an equal chance. With risky assets - richer people are priviledged with better access to higher returns (via better access to information, scale of investment, credit etc.). So disparities grow.
Let's be honest, this is a publicity stunt by Hey.

The terms of the App Store haven't changed (outside of the 1yr sub provision) in years. They knew this before making their app.

The founders of Hey are seasoned professionals. They knew they could manufacture a scandal and it would put their new company in the news.

There is no such thing as bad press... especially when it freely promotes your app launch.

I don't use trending often enough to know that I'm correct in saying this, but I get the impression that the author is describing a shift from "most star-ed projects each day" to some new algorithm which seems to resemble "most interesting projects as of late", with the later being less dynamic. I suppose that's in part why they feel less excitement and less value in the tool.

I agree that a lot of the recent changes to GH have been really cool. This article sort of makes me wish that features like the trending page were more configurable.
Well, my therapist might ask, “what is this procrastination doing for you?” How do you feel when I say, well, just do it. Angry? Sad? Why? You might notice you’re getting back at your parents for something. Totally reaching here, but the Oedipal tendency, obv in figurative sense, is strong in mothers. Maybe your mom is afraid you’ll be too successful and is unconsciously threatening to take away her love when you get excited about a project. Idk man just spitballing here.

>What I'm not okay with is the time commitment required.

I understand your position but this is way overstated. Anything worth doing is going to cost you time and effort and streamlining it will make it lose some important intrinsic property of it.

Approximately 50% of American households carry credit card debt. Do you know why? Because if you truly want something, you'll find a way to get it even if it means financing it will cost you 3x-5x more than just saving up for it. I do not believe that the vast majority of people who care about caucuses would not find a way to attend a caucus.

>It creates a significant discrepancy between those who are privileged enough

I will never buy into this flawed notion of 'privilege' that misinforms more than it explains. Everyone is busy, especially when it comes to things they barely care about. If someone cares about caucuses and primaries they will get engaged and find a way to attend. Evangelicals that care about their faith will find a way to tithe 10% of their income, go to Church EVERY Sunday (not just once every 4 years), and get involved in Church activities. Practicing Orthodox Jews have very onerous stipulations on what they can and cannot do in their daily life, but they care about their faith and therefore they find a way to do those things - regardless of their income and wealth and privilege.

Going to a caucus once every 2 or 4 years on a Saturday isn't a reasonable barrier for those that care. Worrying about those that don't care enough to make time isn't improving things. Your time would be better spent advocating to those people to CARE enough to attend, not destroying the beautiful chaos in order to HOPE it attracts those people into coming out.

That's true. Ah well, you know what people say: RAID is for high-availability, not a replacement for proper backups.
Definitely hard to do at home, but it's not all that easy to notice in certain settings. For instance, indoor and greenhouse agriculture where pumping CO2 into the room is routinely done.

I'm not sure that I've experienced CO2 poisoning per se, but definitely higher-than-safe levels of it. We were installing new air quality sensors at an indoor farming facility when we (eventually) discovered the existing CO2 alarms were malfunctioning. The symptoms came on fast and immediately affected my ability to think. The first sensors we installed reported something like ~6000ppm, which we assumed to be a calibration error because no way people had been working at those levels. Didn't even occur to us it was accurate. A few minutes later I remember just staring at another sensor unable to decide which way to install the battery.

We didn't even realize something was wrong until I went outside for a few minutes.

Well, yeah, I'm thinking mostly of mid to late 20th century media.

To be clear, I don't really see a problem with media being partisan as such. It always has been to some extent. The direct line from politicians to public is new, though (at least on this scale; there are prior examples of politicians using radio in this way, but it was somewhat more restrained).

And no, Spotify (market cap $36B) is not going to win a game of chicken against Apple (market cap $1533B). Apple users aren't going to switch to Samsung, they'll switch to apple music or w/e.
Does it assuredly go against their long-term interests? My assumption is that the longer this goes on, the more emboldened Apple will be to start extracting a cut from even the larger apps. That is already the case with Spotify. Maybe down the road, Apple demands that Netflix give it a cut. I guess it depends on where you assume Apple's market share will be in a few years. If we expect Apple to be even more powerful then, it would be better for these apps to have that face-off now.
That looks fantastic, thank you.

Unironically chess is an e-sport and this recent explosion is because Hikaru, Botez, Hess et al. have woken up to that idea and embraced it.

The best computers can easily beat the top humans just as an aimbot could beat Navi easily at CS:GO.

So the focus in chess has moved away from manually exploring to find optimal plays and new opening styles as was the trend in the 19th century chess rennaisance to a focus on preparation so that a player can quickly find best moves, under significant pressure, in any given match.

That makes it much more like a strategy game.

Embracing memes makes it more accessible to viewers who are used to watching hearthstone, csgo, league, dota or other esports and it's been really fun to watch.

I started watching chess on twitch a while ago during the Tata steel tournament and I thought back then it would quickly grow if they focused their commentary on casual level viewers and it's been fantastic to have been proved correct.
This is not an accurate analogy and extremely insensitive in any time, let alone right now.
Can apps charge 30% extra if you subscribe within the IOS app? Can they show the breakup? If yes, this should be a non-issue.
This is the point, I think. That's great content.

It's a grandmaster vs world champion match. It's silly and fun. "Feats of chess" like simultaneous or blindfolded matches have always been popular. All that packed into a 2 minute bullet game.
> There's a difference between "appeal to emotion" and spewing outright lies.

The only difference is that spewing outright lies is a large subset of appealing to emotion when it comes to activism, which is itself a large subset of politics.

> Sounds an awful lot like giving up to me.

Democracy is compromise, and compromise at the level of government is messy. It's not giving up, it's jut not giving in to one idea without considering and weighing all opinions.
It works for regular posts too. I hide all posts from major and minor news sources and eliminates almost all political commentary from my Facebook feed.
Imo, Github has only been moving further in the right direction lately — and more social features ain't it, chief.

The better value proposition lift from giving folks and teams more free private repos was huge, and the increasingly-prominent integration of Github into enterprise tools is facilitating (if not helping to force) the modernization of enterprise dev outside the software industry.

I've never been a bigger fan of Github, personally. Microsoft seems to be doing the same with Github that it did with Minecraft: amplifying what it does well, fixing what it didn't, and making it more accessible to more folks the way they want to consume it — all while not compromising what made it great to begin with.
Just to add to this, it was always an extremely obvious use case to use any external device with a nice display as, well, a display, perhaps for another device.

Pretending that you're Edison when all you did was to enable an already-obvious use case, and then whining when someone else also enables that use case, kinda strains credulity. Accusing Apple of doing something untoward, or even surprising, here, is just silly.
Elements of chance can both make a game more accessible to beginners and raise the skill ceiling fro pros at the same time. It's more accessible, because a beginner player might still get lucky and win through pure chance. But it also raises the skill ceiling, because you need to work with probability on top of strategy. You might sometimes make the right move and still lose. And you might sometimes make the wrong move and still win. But that also makes it more challenging to improve above a certain level, since you need a deeper analysis than 'did I win?' to understand what you did right and wrong. It does mean that unlike chess, where the superior player will likely win 100/100 matches, a superior backgammon player might only win 60-70 games out of 100. Learning to combine strategy and probability is valuable, and arguably maybe even more applicable to the real world than the pure strategy of chess.
You're right but I think it's a mistake to assume that politics should be everyone's "thing." Everyone should vote but not everyone needs to be in the weeds of the political process unless it's something they're passionate about.

And when it comes to the "civic duty" level of participation there's honestly not much that to do. You'll know pretty quick whether you're part of the red, blue, or grey tribe so you can just vote by color and then look up what the local ballot initiatives are and vote on the ones that you have an informed opinion on. With this strategy you're the political equivalent of an index fund investor but you're role is still important since modern politics is a game of taking territory.
So sellers will create a different FB shop, a different Walmart shop, a different website shop, download and pay for a whole bunch of software to keep all the inventory in sync, and have to merge different interfaces and APIs to try and figure out what their final sales, revenue, etc are.

Or they can use Shopify and get all of those, and manage their inventory, and pricing, and shipping rules, etc all from one place and pay Shopify a few hundred dollars a year, when they would have paid thousands in software annually to replicate the same anyways.

Yeah, I can totally see why they would go the non Shopify route.
Fine. Installing custom software is not an economic "must", but is a moral "must". If I have bought a device, then it is mine to run whatever software I want on it, and the manufacturer of the device has no moral claim over it.

I get this too, and I think it has a lot to do with where your imagination tends to go.

If you often imagine negative outcomes, such as the negative judgement that you might receive if you served 2-minute noodles at a dinner party, then your sole motivation will be to avoid these sorts of outcomes. Life becomes about hazard detection. The anxiety that comes with this can obscure your 'true' interests to the point where you are not even sure what they are anymore.

Where does your mind turn when there is no sense of threat? If you bring yourself to imagine positive outcomes, then so long as they are realistic and accompanied by a strategy, then it is natural to be motivated to realise them. Failure to create a compelling future could just be considered a failure of the imagination.

I'd really recommend the book "Psychocybernetics" by Maxwell Maltz for more on this sort of stuff.
I could not completely understand what you said. But found it interesting anyway. Care to explain?
For me, this is a positive thing. With this, I can find some niche things that I can't find otherwise. People star it because it provides some value to them.

I wouldn't "like" project that are broken or half done, but I star it if it can solve my problem.

On the other side, when somebody stars my project I will invest more energy into it because I see that it is useful to somebody else, not just me. Most of my projects are sparsely tested, because usually I'm the only user and it is not mission-critical. When it's broken I usually know where. When I see starts appearing on my project I add more tests and handle edge cases better, so new users have a better experience. If they would only bookmark it, I wouldn't know if somebody wants to use my software. And they would also have a bad experience, and maybe drop it after evaluating as a piece of crap.

Everyone in politics has an agenda.

Not everyone in politics is willing to be honest about what that agenda is, and rarely are they held accountable for misinformation used in pursuit of that agenda.

There was lots of coverage of COVID pre January by what I would think of as the larger 'main stream' media outlets.

I see lots of these types of "they covered this before anyone / the other people did". And every time I wonder if people just mean they saw an article and actually didn't read "anyone else" and just assumed it wasn't covered elsewhere.

It's such a common and strange pattern.
Yes. Spotify did this for a while, as I recall.
Magnus Carlsen is obviously insanely good, that goes without saying. But he tends not to explain what he’s doing in the same way other streamers do. I find it more fun to watch when there is commentary on the reasons behind the moves being made.

Whether it's a good feature for your or not, that's your opinion and choice.

Personally I find Facebook to be unusable and I'm close to deleting my account. I couldn't care less about information bubbles, I basically started unfollowing all acquaintances that frequently post political articles.

I'm really sick of it and given Facebook's feed is screwed anyway, I would like the option of completely filtering out posts on certain topics, such as politics. Alas Facebook doesn't even give the option of censoring words from that stupid timeline.
