Instead of lying I'd use the make it fun. Find any reason to make that task enjoyable, flip it around, organize it differently.

At work (temporary gig):

- manual labour == free workout. Whenever I have to crouch for a file.. I do it in a slow and perfect squat. I grab the file and stay down to strecth, then I go up swift .. I'm happy to have that file because I gained something. Other task like archive defragmenting I tried various ways to find the most agreeable one, then I go full speed.

- mundane tasks (print copy, input):

I make a chase waste game out of it (what programmers do). I organize the thing to be as lean and fast as possible and turn a 100+ repetitions into a smooth flow .. like a choreography.

I time most things to make it a game. Coworkers are shocked (whatever their reasons) but I produce twice in half the time and zero rants coming from my cubicle.

For tasks that I really don't like to do.. I gained a mental compartment to remember not to ever trigger that task again. I do it as a debt to my mistake and get done with it.
Maya is one of the most horrible pieces software I've used. It's also simultaneously one of the best because it's so feature rich.

That said, it's truly horrendous in a lot of ways. Simple operations can crash it for no apparent reason, even when poly count is low. Perfectly clean geometry can get corrupted after reopening a scene. Basic features are clearly neglected and have serious flows; the booleans are the worst out of any 3D modeling software. The most of the import plugins are a joke, forcing you to use a separate program to convert geometry to something basic like OBJ. The context menu on right-click is STILL terrible in the year 2020. Some settings seem to never stick. Little things like the nav-cube got removed with Viewport 2.0, which was supposed to make everything better. NURBS modeling sucks so bad that most studios don't even use it and prefer subdiv modeling. Until recently, scene objects didn't have UUIDs.

Sad thing is that Autodesk has a monopoly over this scene. It's kind of amazing that the industry tolerates this. Then again, I still use it to this day because I'm so used to it.
What does this mean?

I clicked on your link. I'm also not sure what "SELL $5.75 BILLION OF ESG BONDS IN CORPORATE RECORD" means?
Who cares how he learned about it? The President has hundreds, probably thousands of people asking him for stuff every day. He has teams of people who filter requests through the "appropriate means of communication."

Seriously, it's irrelevant. When he learned of a federally-controlled entity working against the best interests of Americans, he took action. That's really all that matters. I don't care if he saw a TV ad, a billboard, or any other unconventional means of communication with the US President.
Yes, sorry, that is right!
you mean get into the fictional entertainment business?
Sometimes aspects that help the community are a better long term investment, and I think that most people would point to compile times as the key thing to nail down in order to grow the community at a faster rate.
Of course you don't need to think of every possible way to compromise a system; just enough to reasonably protect against your threat model given the resources you have. If you have a complicated system that requires "hundreds of settings", then you just have to put more effort in making sure you don't miss anything.

I'm pretty sure most security breaches are caused by really basic configuration mistakes (or process failures). following a checklist can definitely be effective, but if you don't actually understand why you're configuring things as you are, you're likely to make mistakes elsewhere.
Jonas & der Wolf - https://www.jonasundderwolf.de | Berlin, Germany | Django/Python Developer | ONSITE

We're a development team of about 20 working on applications for small and big companies such as the Deutsche Bahn. We develop using Django and React, striving for a clean API between backend and frontend. On the backend, we've been using Django exclusively since starting out in 2007. Needless to say, we know our way around Django...

Currently we're looking for a backend developer at an intermediate level. See the jobs description here: https://www.jonasundderwolf.de/jobs/) or send me an email directly at "jvp" on our domain.

One note, however: our language around the office is German so you would need basic fluency or a willingness to learn.
Airborne viruses have been known for a long, long time. The physics is established. The whole reason we distinguish between airborne and non-airborne viruses is exactly because virus needs special arrangements to be able to survive outside of fluid.

While it is interesting how particles move in a room, it is completely different topic. The particles ARE NOT AEROSOL. The kind of aerosol that can flow in tiny air currents dries out in seconds and becomes small particles (not droplets) of "relatively dry" matter that is fine enough to stay in air for a very long time.
Because the second it's not javascript, you're going to lose 100x the audience. You'll also compete with all the other languages that can compile to Javascript and then the question is entirely different. CoffeeScript did something similar decades(?) ago when the ecosystem was vastly different and you could argue CoffeeScript provided more value - it still failed.

At the end of the day, Typescript is one way Microsoft is competing with Facebook. The only reason you want native JSX is because React won the framework wars. If Microsoft can win with Typescript, they'll have a larger say in the future of Javascript and then web development in general. They'll never move away from javascript.
For big brands social media advertising is just not that effective and for the agencies its a chore. Nobody likes it, nobody wants to do it and nobody sees a real effect on sales. For smaller brands it is an opportunity but if you have a market cap like coke or the exposure of nike there is nothing to gain, except some more numbers for your case study.
Through the 80's and 90's, Yngwie Malmsteen's keyboard player Jens Johansson was programming on an Atari ST. Even though there was so many more modern systems, he liked the ST because everything he needed to do was stable and didn't fail on him. Why throw away a good thing?

This bakes in a particular version of the Plots library. Which is mostly great, but you need to re-bake to move on to a new version.

(All the standard libraries are baked in by default, in much the same way I think, and so can't be updated without making a new version of Julia. But they all load fast.)
Much of this seems to be rediscovering the principles of the IndieWeb movement, who have already thought about many of the issues discussed here.

AMD is quite good already. The ROCm stuff works quite well.
I thought the thesis was that some prominent startup investors have proclaimed the end of startup investing throughout history and often it hasnt happened, so how does one know it will happen this time?

Again, I can understand why PG would be upset they misrepresented his words, but I admittedly am confused you don't seem to think that other investors, including the one PG referenced in his post, have boldly proclaimed that the bubble will burst and then it doesn't. I think if I were PG I'd feel frustrated the author lumped me into the category of bold predictors, especially if I had written such a qualified essay.

Those 'phone' icons are the most generic things. Maybe useful to distinguish an iPhone vs iPhone X/11. If I was expecting anything other than a phone there's a 50:50 chance I could believe it was something else.

"Doesn't sound good" contributes nothing to the discussion, other than betraying your lack of understanding. Ethics does not depend on personal preferences, and it's ridiculous to suggest I "like" Jews more than I "like" white people. As it happens, in certain circumstances the substitution you seem to intend as some sort of reductio ad absurdum would make perfect sense. Since I recently watched "Uncut Gems" and I love "Snatch", I'm thinking of the diamond industry in New York and Antwerp. Doesn't it seem fair to say that someone from those particular communities would have a leg up in that business?

The centuries-long struggle for increased equality in USA has little to do with whom one "likes" or not. Your fixation on personal preference shows how little of this you understand.
I think this is the second 8TB SSD on the market. I'd been eyeing the 8TB Sabrent Rocket M.2 as an upgrade for my 2014 MacBook Pro, but the price is eye-watering. I'd need to buy 2, because there's no bus-powered hard drives that size to backup to.

Now Samsung's made this an affordable backup option, I just need to start saving up.
Racket and Julia on the same day!
Smaller. I just need to see a hint in my peripheral vision to know I should use it, and only need it to be very obvious while I am using it.

If you parked it in the menu bar, I could drop it down like a hanger when I needed it.

I probably would not suggest pulsing the menu bar icon itself or at least making that optional. Having something constantly pulsing in the corner of my eye wouldn't be great for flow. Having an occasional reminder to drop down the hanger might be nice though.
I just went back to some of my Berkeley course captures and the few that I checked out had captions that looked human-generated (unless YouTube's auto-generation can handle math terminology and abbreviations fine). It's a shame that they can't release those ones publicly due to some weird legal reasons.

Looking for interesting opportunities. I really enjoy R&D work, particularly connected to robotics and AI.
For me, motivation is like a car engine. Once the crankshaft is turning, the pistons are moving, and the fuel is igniting, motivation is self-sustaining and can keep me going on a particular task. But it has to be started. Something external has to turn the engine over a few times until the self-sustaining process kicks in. Usually, this takes the form of forcing myself to work a tiny bit on the task. Once I get that tiny bit done, I'm in a headspace to where getting a bit more done is much easier, and I can keep going like that.
I'm not seeing much advantage of running off of H2 instead of a biofuel like ethanol, especially if we get switchgrass or other less energy intensive forms of biofuel production off of the ground.

H2 has so many storage and handling challenges that are going to be compounded when weight is an issue that its hard to see its future in the airline industry.
This isn’t new at all; it has been commonplace for decades. People have been complaining about this since at least 1998, when the term "mystery meat navigation" was coined:

Covid-specific mortalities, and moreso testing, give trends indications. Even here there are lags and noise; testing trails infection by 1-2 weeks, mortality lags testing by about 19 days (call it three weeks), and actual infection/exposure by about five weeks, aas a very rough average.

All available data are seen through the rear-view mirror and tell us where we were not where we are. Those who work in such scenarios are aware of this, and other limitations: test coverage and limitations, sampling, selection criteria, reporting lags, comorbidity biases, etc.

Most of the rapidly-available data are subject to greater bias. Much of the more accurate data are subject to greater lags. But with sufficient history we can use the latter to adjust the former (pending final calibration measurements) to improve the clarity of current assessments.

Me too, I think to some extent everyone does it and learning to recognize your own motivated reasoning and pushing back against it is an important way to think better. I think motivated reasoning is probably the default behavior (and once you start looking for it, you see it everywhere).

This post dives into it a bit: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/34XxbRFe54FycoCDw/the-bottom...

Just because an argument comes from motivated reasoning doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong, but I think it's more likely to be wrong (and it's also likely to be framed in a misleading way or ignoring good contradictory examples). It's also hard to discuss things with the person to learn what's true because they're often not arguing in good faith.

I think this is actually a reason people are often skeptical of debate (since a clever arguer can argue a wrong position and win against someone who is right, but not as good at manipulating rhetorical devices). Also why lawyers can have a bad reputation. People can know something is wrong, but may themselves be bad at articulating why. Other people that are wrong may be good at making themselves seem right. The smarter the person is the more they can effectively rationalize bullshit.

A good example of this is Ben Shapiro and a lot of his arguments (particularly the ones I've seen around religion/abortion) are mostly motivated reasoning nonsense.

That said, while this may be true on an individual level debate should still be true at scale (the best argument from one side should still be pitted against the best argument from another). I think this is what free society and liberal democracy is all about.

Was reyling on Autodesk a bad idea? Sure it was!

Do you have any idea of the AEC industry? Does not seem so.

Funny enough, those big offices signing the open letter are so big they actually have in-house devs. But this is only feasible for the top 0.1% of offices.

Architecture is badly paid and most offices are in the size range of 15–30 people working there. Also CAD programs belong to the most complex software imaginable with really big code bases grown over many years. It's not like you "just write a new one and make it FOSS". You HAVE to rely on others. Also most architects (and even engineers for that matter) are scared by code. They want someone to call and yell at, not looking for workarounds or making a bugfix.

Regarding sup-optimality...

Currently our programming is optimized for keyboard input. If sub-vocal instruction becomes "a thing", I suspect we would spend some collective effort to create a programming language optimized for that mode of input.

I think the only reason we don't have real languages using touch input is because of the lack of bandwidth for that signal.
