While I understand the intention to highlight the other side of the problem, all these issues are significantly more severe for people in leadership positions.

I can't imagine taking more than 2 weeks off from work. These solutions aren't really solutions unless the person in question decides to quit their job. There is no snowballs chance in hell that a company will tolerate absence of their management staff that is longer than 4 weeks. A replacement or substituion would be required fairly soon.

Being open about one's emotion in a leadership position is a ridiculous advice, it's obvious that the authors have no idea what they're recommending.

I don't see why video game consoles are any less general purpose computers than phones. Its easier to install Fedora on a PS3 than an iPhone
My biggest thought about game programming not necessarily having the same engineering culture as the web is due to the financial/business incentives for various engineering practices. I think React and a lot of other web tools are designed for programmers creating services that continually operate and generate revenue. Meanwhile, a video game's development is closer to a theatre production or a film.

Traditionally, a video game has a point where development stops and is never resumed again. In the past this might have been lot check or "going gold"; today it might be a few post-release patches. There's a point where you don't keep working on your entertainment product and resources are invested elsewhere for more revenue. I think this means that the value of paying off structural technical debt might be always less than the revenue from your first month of sales. I think that changes the decision-making of management as their game's performance might be better off with a month of heroics and duct-tape rather than missing a holiday release date. I don't get the impression that profit incentives are the same with most typical web services.

There are big exceptions to this, of course. Many more games are service-based these days. I think we're starting to see them adopt more stable practices like the rest of software engineering at both big [2] and small [1] scales.

Can you elaborate why someone shouldn't use it as a daily driver?

I have used Linux for a decade now and I just got a friend interested in it and his pick was Kali because he was interested in learning about security stuff.

I took a quick look at it and saw that it was debian based and XFCE is my favourite desktop environment so I figured he'd be alright with it.
I'd like to know that, too. I've been taking one of these a day:

If you're an anthropomorphized pathogen, you do not want to kill your host. Ideally you don't even want your host to get sick. You want your host to be able to survive and spread your descendants as widely as possible. This is why a lot of fictional descriptions of pandemics are unrealistic—something with a severe lethality rate has a hard time spreading (see, for example, Ebola which is highly contagious and fatal, but tends not to spread far from its animal reservoirs). With TB what happens is that the disease enters into an equilibrium state where the pathogen is able to survive in the host for years. There's been a lot of adaptation on both sides. There's still debate about whether TB was introduced to the Americas by Europeans or not, but it does have a disproportionately bad impact on Native American populations that lead me (uneducatedly) to think that it likely was introduced.
Thanks for the input. We are trying to figure this out now. It should be easy to start a company, but more easier to close one down.
Please do, but I won't promise I will contribute a lot, so don't be disappointed. =)

In another post, I make a case for never, ever asking "are you there?" in Slack[0]. It's been popular for my friends who work on remote teams inside of larger non-remote companies.

How would the existence of an AGI cause 75% of the workforce to lose their jobs?

Take barbers/hairdressers, for example. Could an AI do that job? Sure, in one sense, you just need robotic scissors. Do those robotic scissors magically appear immediately after the AGI does? No.

Or take welding. Sure, you can replace the welder with a robot. Who makes the robot? The AGI? Using what factory? Does the AGI, just by virtue of existing, own all the factories in the world? No, it doesn't.

Or take the person at the front desk of the hotel. Can you replace them with a robot? Maybe, but nobody wants a smile from a robot. They want one from a human.

This was mentioned in one of the other threads about this - but you can purchase XBox games outside the Microsoft Store platform just fine - Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, even resell on eBay, and Microsoft doesn't take a cut.

Apple does not allow for this model.

Asserting that Solaris has weirdness is an insult, because Solaris is the AT&T System V Release 4.0 reference implementation. Solaris is also the reference implementation for libc functions like malloc, threading, realtime kernel implementation, NFS, NIS, containers, shared memory, SCSI, fiberchannel, high performance TCP/IP networking, network virtualization, parallel service startup/shutdown, POSIX compliant shells, POSIX AWK, XPG4 and XPG6 userland, I could go on and on and on; if you want to write an implementation of some IEEE, POSIX or RFC specification, or some kernel or userland subsystem, Solaris / illumos is the place to refer to on how to do that, and how to do it correctly.
What about them?

I replied to someone saying "ha ha isn't that weird they can contest it in the US look countries like India just went ahead and banned it and there's no recourse". Great. Other countries can talk about it, go through a legislative process (in Japan lawmakers aren't even going to start talking about their possible options until September), then there are legal challenges and normal processes to go through, etc.
For those who missed it this is the quote that matters here:

> In an escalation, Apple then said it would pull Epic's access to developer tools on iOS and Mac.

> But Microsoft said this would damage a "critical technology" for many third-party game creators.

> That is because Epic also owns the Unreal Engine - a tool widely used by developers from other studios to build games, virtual-reality VR experiences and special effects in major television shows and films.

> Microsoft uses the technology itself.

YIKES, how much longer is this going to go on?
A decent generalist that nobody may want, though.

You are right that "successful in data scientist roles would not be successful (or at least, much less so) either as programmers or statisticians", assuming they do not train a bit more and become better statisticians (a subject in which world-class experts have wildly different opinions about the very foundations of the field) or programmers (a 1X, say).

What I had maybe issues articulating is that the Dilbert's creator is focusing on the system of skills (and, what does "better than average" mean? Better than the population average or better than the average of people professionally working, say professional comic artists? Because we are talking about two different things) instead of the application of the skills. He had a brilliant (a posteriori) idea that did not require to be neither Caravaggio nor Dave Chapelle. The lesson is that you can have success drawing like a 6-year old (which is better than what I can do) and some deadpan humor about office work which is funny one every ten times. Which is, IMO, way below the average skills of professionals.

His "lesson" is between "nothing new" and "so what": nothing new because we have seen many successful people having near-zero talents or skills (that would be a long book for me), and so what because it is not the above average skills (and I ask again: average of what?) but the more or less fortuitous choice of a profession or activity.

We have vague-casting, vague-posting, and, in this case, vague-philosophizing.

I am leaning towards the opposite conclusion based on three things I have heard.

I have heard vitamin D described as a "modulator for the immune system" (isn't the problem with Covid that your immune system is overreacting?). Also I know that its a factor in Multiple Sclerosis, which is an autoimmune disease. Also things like flu infect / kill more people in winter- when people will be getting less sun, and so have less vitamin D.
Is that not the problems with a broken system? Who is forcing who to save people? Why SHOULD society pick up the tab for my broken arm, or his obesity?

When the same drug addict that can't pay his bills again goes to the same hospital and has no intetions of paying and the hospital is forced to take anyone what is the result? A healthcare system that is more focused on duration of life at any cost, versus that of quality. Preventable illnesses like drug abuse, obesity and smoking are everyone's issue when everyone else is paying for the purposefully sickly to squander all the money.
So Shopify charges 2.9% + $0.30 to retailers for purchases in the store, but they charge 20% for developers to sell those retailers an app...

Hard not to compare this against Apple, where the total revenue generated by the Shopify App Store is perhaps around $50 million versus the Apple App Store which is more than $50 billion in digital goods & services ($500 billion including physical goods & services).
Yes but the body solves the problem of concluding that the stove caused the pain.

The body is a mechanism of relevance. The more data you feed a machine, the worse it performs.

The body isnt necessarily right about causation (though it often is) but it provides a minimal mechanism of relevance to enable inference.

Data itself contains no causal information.

The US is nowhere near leadership in either democracy or corruption. I didn't hold it as the stellar example, beyond countering someone who is surprised (or finds it "weird") that a government has checks and balances, and a legal system. I know few Americans who "think they're not corrupt", nor does that change the fact that India is very corrupt and has a very flawed democracy.
Exactly this will give a second rise to hand-crafted goods. People will value handy work more than what a perfect robot can do. I know I do.

People will simply divide in two: those who want the automated labor goods, and those who prefer hand-crafted goods. The latter will also be willing to pay more.

Yup - physical stores such as GameStop, Bestbuy, Target, etc have been selling Xbox media for quite sometime.
Epic needs to offer a 30% discount for anyone who gets their content from their website.

And while I'm not sure if you can side load on Apple products, if you can't, don't offer your services on Apple products. Customers will move as they wakeup to their horrible business practices.

Of course, but the flip side is that same confluence of attributes has also exacerbated issues of reproducibility. Just as science and the methods/mediums by which we conduct/disseminate it have changed, so too should the standard of what is considered acceptable to reproduce. This is especially relevant given how much broader the societal and policy implications have become.

More concretely, it is 100% fair (and I might argue necessary) to demand more of our institutions and work to improve their failures. I'm sure many researchers have encountered publications of the form "we applied <proprietary model (TM)> (not explained) to <proprietary data> (partially explained) after <two sentence description of preprocessing> and obtained SOTA results!" in a reputable venue. Sure, this might be even less reproducible 200 years ago than now, but the authors would also be less likely to be competing with you for limited funding! Debating about the traditional definition of reproducibility has its place, but we should also be doing as much as possible to give reviewers and replicators a leg up. This is often flies in the face of many incentives the research community faces, but shifting blame to institutions by default (not saying you're doing this, but I've seen many who do) is taking the easy road out and does little to help the imbalanced ratio of discussion:progress.
This isn't "the opposite extreme", this is a helpful process by which you can share context with the person you're asking help from.

We usually work on challenging problems. It's unreasonable to expect to easily share relevant context when getting help from someone.

I send _extremely_ detailed notes to coworkers all the time. I usually _take_ detailed notes as I work, so it's fairly easy to "package" the note for someone else's consumption.

For a recursive example, this: https://josh.works/better-questions#examples

I've documented how I ask questions and how I ask for help, so I can share it with others... who ask questions... and ask for help. >_<
I think a case could be made for it, yes. The original Xbox was, in fact, a general purpose computer in disguise (barely, lots of people took advantage of that capability). There have been Linux versions released for PlayStation.

It's not like 80s and 90s consoles which were much more limited and more clearly streamlined to just play games (limited or no internal memory, limited input device support, though some of them supported keyboards and could even be hooked up to modems). The lock down on gaming consoles today is mostly artificial.
Slack's Chief Security Officer: Every Challenge Is a Victory
> How many more stories do we have to read about some research getting published in a journal only to have to retract it down the road because they had a bug in the software before we start asking if maybe there needs to be more rigor in the software

We will always hear stories like that, as we will always hear stories about major bugs in stable software releases. Asking a scientist to do better than whole teams of software engineers makes little sense to me.

Of course, a bug that was introduced or kept with the counscious intention of fooling the reviewers and the readers is another story.
This is false. It’s like 2 clicks to stop incoming requests, same with Lyft.
I may be misinformed, but I'm pretty sure that Microsoft also takes a cut from physically distributed XBox games.

EDIT: Apparently during the Xbox 360 days, that was ~20%. Couldn't find any newer numbers.
> they're not forcing me to work these hours at all, but I think if you're a professional you can't avoid such circumstances sometimes and that's why we get $megabucks right?

No, you could make the exact opposite statement and it would sound just as valid. Watch:

"they're not forcing me to work these hours at all, and if you're a professional who does get the megabucks, you can avoid such circumstances."

Recent advances in IPv6 security: Addressing
Sorry to emphasize a problem without providing a solution. While I agree, those are rules of engagement I would likely practice on my own, naturally, as soon as I propose my way (or in this case, you proposing your way) as _the_ way, the nature of the protocol shifts into the political realm, just because it may not envision something important to one of the participants.
Yes. If iPhone as appliance doesn’t stick, Xbox as appliance shouldn’t either. Both are vertically integrated and curated experiences on digital rights managed “consoles”.

Epic may have thrown Unreal Engine under the bus, but Microsoft needs the law to recognize it and Apple compete as fully integrated experiences not unbundled hardware separate from app stores.

That said, a lot of games money is going to iOS that used to funnel to consoles. So they’re of two minds.

The PR move is support Epic. The business move is keep consoles vertically integrated and own curation.

San Jose: Boring Company proposal “likely infeasible”
We have seen that a thousand time with google products and co.

First, you have unlimited, then you have reasonably large limits. The rational is "limits are needed to reduce abuses and should not impact normal users".

Then, it starts to be mandatory to be authenticated. Again, officially for reducing abuses.

Once everyone has an account, and are used to limitations, free limits are reduced again, little by little, and finally to the point where you need to take the "pro" offer to have a normal usage.
Some interest snippets from Risk Factors[0]:

"Our business and operations have experienced rapid growth, and if we do not appropriately manage future growth, if any, or are unable to improve our systems, processes and controls, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects will be adversely affected."

"Our recent rapid growth may not be indicative of our future growth, and we may not be able to sustain our revenue growth rate in the future. Our rapid growth also makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful."

"We have a history of losses and may not be able to achieve profitability on a consistent basis. If we cannot achieve profitability, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may suffer."

"The markets for our products are new, unproven, and evolving and may develop more slowly or differently than we expect. Our future success depends on the growth and expansion of these markets and our ability to adapt and respond effectively to evolving markets."

"Our results of operations are likely to fluctuate from quarter to quarter, which could adversely affect the trading price of our ordinary shares."

"If we are not able to keep pace with technological and competitive developments or fail to integrate our products with a variety of technologies that are developed by others, our products may become less marketable, less competitive, or obsolete, and our results of operations may be adversely affected."

"A limited-functionality version of JFrog Artifactory is licensed under an open source license, which could negatively affect our ability to monetize our products and protect our intellectual property rights."

"The market for our products is nascent and highly fragmented, and we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors, some of whom have greater financial, technical, and other resources than we do. If we do not compete successfully our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed."

"JFrog Artifactory is at the core of our business and any decline in demand for JFrog Artifactory occasioned by malfunction, inferior performance, increased competition or otherwise, will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition."

"If we are unable to increase sales of our subscriptions to new customers, sell additional subscriptions to our existing customers, or expand the value of our existing customers’ subscriptions, our future revenue and results of operations will be harmed."

First of all, I can buy Xbox games in many stores - GameStop, MediaMarkt, etc. etc.

iOS devices (especially iPads) are marketed as general purpose computers and as such should be compared with Windows and Linux where software authors can:

- Distribute their app without approval of the platform owner.

- Can freely communicate about pricing and availability of their software.

Apple forbids even talking about lower prices or other platforms, essentially forcing us developers to mislead and misinform customers of their platforms. It's deeply against the principles of a free market competition.
Only if you take K2-MK7. The regular form of K2 will not help much. And you need to take 100mcg of MK7 per 10,000 IU of D. It also helps to build up your potassium levels using potassium citrate or bicarbonate (NEVER potassium chloride) over time. Potassium is critical for cellular mineral transport, and low potassium levels will have an impact on blood calcium.

I know many people on this protocol who have had their blood tested and verified that they have no detectable calcium levels in the blood. And blood testing is key. Anyone on this protocol should be checking their calcium, D, and potassium levels. They should also monitor their blood pressure.
One issue I found 3-4 years ago was that some common tests undercount D2 by quite a bit (I forget if it was 20% just for D2 or I think it might have been 20% overall D2+D3 in some test samples). I found this because the test my doctor ordered had a statement about using a different test if supplementing with D2. A number of products (like soy milk) contain some amount of D2 so in some cases low vitamin D might be due to inaccurate testing. I haven't checked if the tests have improved in the last few years.
