This study demonstrates that grounding increases muscle recovery time. We definitely need to learn more (and they highlight some potential explanations) but it's not trying to prove anything about electrons.

I wouldn't know, I'm just a high school dropout, but if they barrier of entry to getting into a PhD "guild-system" is to also go through Associates, Bachelor, and Master degree, then I don't think its worthwhile for 90% of jobs that only require technical mastery.
I think React's decision, when faced with a desire to track state alongside code, to partially reimplement objects inside of functions rather than just saying "know what, this new feature requires class syntax, deal with it" (and in fact excluding class-style syntax from the new features) is the perfect sign of where the functions-vs-OO pendulum is.
> end-of-course projects at places like MIT and Carneige Mellon

Very few students study at places like MIT and Carnegie Mellon. They typical CS program, even the typical "good but not exemplary" CS program, does not direct students to produce "projects" on nearly the same level. I even went to a college that has a well-regarded senior capstone project for its traditional engineering majors, but the CS equivalent felt far more low-effort and unconsequential. Among my classmates, the ones who had significant side projects and internship/co-op results were the ones with preferential outcomes and the ones who only had end-of-course projects to show were the ones with "typical" outcomes.

I never said the degree was a benefit itself! Just that it might satisfy "Most successful people have X"

(Although, here in the UK at least, the quality of degrees genuinely does vary by university in a way that roughly corresponds to their rankings. I know that's an unfashionable observable but I have seen enough degree programs at different universities to know it's likely true unless I happen to have seen an atonishingly unrepresentative sample. Partly this is self fulfilling because lower ranked universities are forced to take less good students and the level of the programme has to be adjusted accordingly, but part of it really is to do with quality of teaching.)
USA itself is already souring on NATO, no hackers needed.

Many in the USA are tired of being criticized for being the "world police" yet the same critics also scream when the USA starts pulling its military personnel out of their country (like Germany, most recently).

I say Europe should use their own money to build their own Navy and Air Forces to protect their own interests and make their own trade and travel routes secure. Right now most EU countries are putting virtually none of their budget into military because everything is taken care of by the USA (and they can launder protection of interests through USA as well so USA takes all the heat if something goes wrong).

Maybe people will complain less about the US military when they have to use their own tax dollars to secure their own borders, shipping and air routes, protect their own interests, etc.
I'm not sure what you mean. Could you elaborate?
A typical microservice tightly binds code and data, and it communicates via messages. So when a microservice is useful, it's an example of binding data and code being useful.

Though when a microservice mutates something, it's typically persisted in a database or similar (and, you'd hope, not sprinkled throughout its code). But, yeah, a bunch of communicating microservices are a lot like communicating objects - for better or worse. Same with Erlang-style actors.

I always find it odd that historical arguments are rejected for basically everything - imagine arguing against social security because it didn't exist historically, or for indentured servitude because it did - and yet the exact same line of thought is used against arts and culture, which are ostensibly some of the most important products of a civilization.

Instead, the trope is "well too bad, if you want to be an artist, pay for it yourself." And you wonder why a television reality star is the president of the country...if you don't invest in the arts, what else do you expect to happen?
No, the point I was making is that you can’t point to racism or a lack thereof and make any statements about representation. Both over and under-represented groups can be the targets of widespread racism.
I don't think that's really fair nor do i think is it a post-enlightenment trend (moral relavitism is...but i dont think that is the same thing).

So far you've claimed that gpt is "wrong" in its religious conception (comparing it to "reddit" in a condescending way). You presented an alternate view on what religion is. You missed the step where you show your view is more right than GPT's is, in context.

Which to be fair is a really hard step to show. If you know somebody's particular religious beliefs you can appeal to doctrine, but we dont know which denomination/doctrine for the gpt-3 story.

I don't think we can show that gpt-3 or your category mistake version is right based on the given information. Or even that one is slightly more right. But that is a different question from is the gpt-3 story "wrong". I'm not positing that "being among beings" is correct, only that there isn't any argument to conclude its any more wrong than any other conception, especially when we don't know the religious beliefs of the protaganist in the story, and thus its wrong to conclude he is "wrong" (being wrong is not the opposite of being right)
I don’t know how much closer to reality this is. I can see tech hiring probably slowed down but my guess is it’s opportunistic. The companies that are doing poorly before the pandemic simply cut jobs. I don’t see a real impact on the market. Of course I do realize I am arguing against data here and saying stuff without evidence but the sample size is small for the data and it’s a gut feeling that it will not hold long term.

Ordering Browser Tabs Chronologically to Support Task Continuity
I wish advertising didn’t exist. Not just on the internet, but everywhere else too.

Ads encourage people to buy stuff they probably don’t need. They incentivize clickbait and tracking. And most online advertising is probably a waste of money anyways. [1]

How then, you might ask, will content and services be paid for?

Sponsorships are not a solution for the same reasons.

The Brave browser is not a solution. [2]

I think the solution is to pay for everything with donations and crowdfunding. This model incentivizes doing what’s beat for the end-user. Great examples of this include Wikipedia and the Internet Archive.

If ads were banned, many websites would die, and I would be ok with that. Only the ones that are the best for users would survive.

Unpopular opinion but this sounds like a half baked idea that will never amount to anything. Imagine some other equally silly parallels:

We generate money by selling iOS apps on a network of hidden developers. With this money we automatically buy Apple shares. We buy Apple via their own app store! Apple eats itself - but in the end "we" own it!

We generate money by selling goods on Amazon on a network of hidden affiliates. With our profits we automatically buy Amazon shares. We buy Amazon via their own marketplace! Amazon eats itself - but in the end "we" own it!

If your goal is to takeover a public company, just start a GoFundMe and let people donate money to you using any source they want. That is a far better way of achieving your goal, as compared to accepting "donations" only via AdSense. Though I suppose that is far less "hip", so it'll never catch on.

The only reason that PC hardware is standardized is because MS and Intel came up with standards in 1995 and continue to update them along with other committees.

Dell doesn’t have to release new drivers. I installed Windows 10 on a Dell E6500 Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz laptop that was sold in 2009.

My mom still occasionally uses my Mac Mini Core Duo 1.66Ghz from 2006 with Windows 7. This was without any drivers from Apple. Windows 7 recognized everything.

Going even further back, I bought a DX/2-66 DOS Compatibility Card from Apple in 1994 that came with Windows 3.1. I upgraded it to Windows 95.

Microsoft figured out how to nourish a platform over 25 years ago. Google and Android - not so much.

The difference between the two options is not just subjective. There is real world difference between misunderstanding and abuse.

The big issue with calling 2 unhealthy mindset is that if you are actually in 'toxic' situation, it prevents you to find solution. This is one of things that makes people stay in abusive relationships. It prevents you to set boundaries, leave or cut people that needs to be cut. "It is just passion spiraling out of control" is real world way how people rationalize staying in abusive relationships. And then everyone is like "why did you not left", well because he/she did not wanted to be victim with unhealthy mindset.

And part of healing is to learn to recognize the situation for what it is and learning to leave.

This is exactly one of my reasons why I object. Because even if you are dealing with narcissist or someone who has abusive habits, you will insist on fault being in the middle, making up, reconciling, enabling.

Also, even in case of conversation spiraling out of control, it should not mean that I have to bend over to make up nor have to have boundaries pushed a bit again and and again each time it spirals. Sometimes, when conversations spiral out of control due to one person lacking self control, it is perfectly ok to NOT make up and decide that I don't have to deal with this.

> they wouldn't need an SV salary to afford a good lifestyle.

While I agree you wouldn't need to worry about affording SV-grade housing costs, I feel like these discussions leave out a couple of things:

* The CoL is going up everywhere. Food, medical care etc... None of it is getting cheaper.

* Good houses in good school systems with reasonable access are still expensive in many areas of the country.

* It's kind of ridiculous to see companies pushing the narrative that they can suddenly pay everyone less based on arbitrary geography when the average revenue/profit generated per engineer is often many, many multiples of their total compensation costs.
Do you have any evidence that FireEye’s report is accurate and not misleading? they are the ones that claimed it in the first place.

I just saw this on a YouTube news clip last night. ONE YouTuber was banned form Patreon and he encouraged his followers who had been supporting him on Patreon to file a "tortious interference" lawsuit which asserts breach of contract against Patreon. In letting this go forward the judge also asserted that Patreon's change in their terms of service on January 1 does not apply to complaints about actions which give rise to legal claims prior to that date.

In short: Patreon has to front $10,000 in legal fees per arbitration claim. The source of the suit is only about 100 people but if a sizable portion of the supporters of some of the larger names who have been banned from Patreon file suit as well then Patreon could be facing the requirement to put aside hundreds of millions of dollars to pre-fund arbitration cases... which could, theoretically, force them to file for bankruptcy and/or cease operation.

It is if you major in STEM (and you apply yourself and get internships, etc) - Majoring in "Eastern Gender Studies" will likely waste 4 years of your life.
This is well said. I think some people view this as liberating themselves, and some people view this as letting the offender get away with it.

For me personally, it feels oppressive to require anything from the person who wronged me. The fact that they wronged me indicates that perhaps they don't value my happiness as much as they should, and now my happiness is predicated on them acting the right way?

This isn't to say I wouldn't try to, say, get my money back if I got scammed, but making my happiness contingent on the contrition of the scammer seems to give them emotional control in addition to my money, which is even worse.
The perception of color is a pretty wild area of science. Colors seem to be culturally dependent. In that, people literally cannot see the difference between blue and green if their language does not have words to distinguish them. Even when big rewards are given for the 'correct' answer. Colors also follow certain patterns, with colors like blue being the last to be named in a culture.

Fun fact, the color blue does not appear at all in the Iliad, Homer describes the ocean as wine, despite the stunning blue colors of grecian seas.
Indeed, it hasn't happened to me but I remember reading about someone who discovered the hard way that their firmware fell back to storing boot variables in a file on the ESP for some reason. It's the sort of thing you only notice once you're staring at an error message, wondering why your ESP is corrupted.

It's hardware RAID or nothing, at least for the ESP for me!
Clearly he’s making a joke...
I’m trying to think of why it would be worse. Is it because skills become less transferable, thus making it harder for an apprentice to move from one master to another?

Perhaps that is by design - companies are wary of investing time and money training junior employees because they can just leave before the investment pays for itself?

Not sure what the answer is here; just playing devil’s advocate.

i would make a distinction that data and state are two different things and argue that a lot of the mess people create with OOP is due to confusing the two. data is what exists externally to your program while state is strictly internal to your program. inputs and outputs of your program are data and not state by definition. applying OOP principles to data is an unmitigated disaster and is the source of most of the problems associated with bad OOP design. data should be modelled as plain structs and arrays. data should be trivially convertable to and from json. there should be no object/relational impedance mismatch because objects are not data. data should not be bundled with code. there should be no hidden information in data. there should be no inheritance in data (use composition instead). on the other hand, many of these principles are quite useful for encapsulating state in order to provide higher level abstractions. it makes sense to hide the internal implementation details of containers, synchronization constructs, database client libraries, and other abstractions, and to allow for multiple implementations of those abstractions which can be swapped out for different purposes. introducing a new abstraction should not be taken lightly and the vast majority of programs should not be introducing their own abstractions. if the abstraction isn't something you would put in a library and make use of in several other programs, it probably shouldn't exist. in this sense, i think it is fair to say that the article author's stance is that "OOP isn't bad but you probably shouldn't be using it", and that this is a perfectly reasonable statement to make. a lot of die-hard OOP fans would argue that this is not "real OOP" but ironically their dogmatism and inability to deal with ambiguity has done more to fuel the anti-OOP movement than anything else.
I'm a customer that uses most of their tools (no network performance monitoring since it's less useful than a service mesh and no logging because we need longer history than most and cost would be prohibitive).

Is it really that expensive when compared to other vendors? Thought their newer logging tool was a lot cheaper than splunk and their apm tool for distributed tracing is also pretty cheap when compared with something like new relic. Sure it's more expensive than free tools that you need to setup yourself. But the velocity it lets your teams have is so much better than having to use something like grafana with tools like Prometheus. Again, sure it can be done for cheap, but the time it takes to manage those tools and the velocity that you lose when doing that doesn't seem like it's worth it for smaller companies but I can see it making more sense as you scale a company.
No, it refers to the story.

Heh.

A PhD degree does generally prove expertise in whatever the subject of your dissertation was and provides access to a couple of networks. Not always guaranteed, but if someone has a PhD I generally expect that they are at least competent at whatever their dissertation was about. And I've only been burned once.

The value of the expertise & set of networks, though, can range from "extraordinarily valuable" to "worse than useless".

In STEM fields the expertise & network is usually at least good enough to keep you busy with decent-paying work for a career or so.

In CS it's usually good enough to get you either a 100K job with lots of freedom or a regular old 300K job at a big tech. So, not really worth doing if your goal is just maxing out lifetime earnings, but certainly there are worse outcomes. From there you're on your own, though.

In many of the humanities... not so much.
Thank you so much for saying this. Bipolar disorder is badly misunderstood by the general population, but one of the most common misconceptions is that mania is the opposite of depression and therefore good. For me, mania was hell on earth. The risk of self-harm is a lot higher in mania than depression and doctors are far more concerned with stopping mania than depression, to the extent they won’t treat depression if the risk of mania is too high.

One source of this misconception is the stereotype of people creating art while manic (probably hypomanic). Another is that bipolar disorder is a big spectrum and many type 2 people having hypomania with some euphoric aspects. But I don’t think I’ve met anyone who isn’t type 1 or knows someone who is that has a good understanding that mania is very often a nightmare. After my last manic episode finished I pretty much laid in bed for 6 months doing nothing but fantasizing about killing myself and I’d much rather relive that then relive the mania that preceded it.
If the recent HN story of Apple taking 30% of refunded purchases is any indication, fabricated stories have a frighteningly strong staying power.

What was especially sad was that a highly knowledgeable group of people (HN) were misled and deceived by the Apple story (which could have been easy verified). If HN is so easily misled, how much more likely is the general population vulnerable to these foreign-government-orchestrated intentional information war campaigns?
As in so many disputes, the parties (koda.dk here) will claim this is about principles and yada yada yada, "Google removes all Danish music from Youtube", etc.

You can be guaranteed though, it's always just about the price and how the one party doesn't want to pay it, and the other party doesn't want to change it.

ESPN doesn't want to pay MLB, Comcast doesn't want to pay local stations, app developers don't want to pay Apple. It goes on and on.

The article has the headline "On the evening of Thursday 30 July, Google announced that they will soon remove all Danish music content on YouTube".

Yet in the next paragraphs, it goes on to describe a change in terms promulgated by Google after a treaty expiration, and that "Of course, Koda cannot accept these terms".

Well then, this is a decision by Google, and then a decision by Koda isn't it?

Yet they make it sound like Google is the big bad entity. Isn't that convenient.
