I'm not sure what universe you're living in to think that the Democrats are "just as bad". Sure, there's also plenty of corruption in other political parties, but don't think you're fooling anyone into thinking you're not either arguing in bad faith or just ignorant.
This paper looks like computer-generated gibberish, with some hilarious phrases in it:

"This dark part of DNA called as a dark DNA in an extra dimension"

"DNAs are contracted at least four times around various axis's and waves of earth couldn't read their information. "

"Thus, the earth is the biggest system of telecommunication which connects DNAs, dark DNAs and molecules of water"

But what kills me is that it has diagrams: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31850126/#&gid=article-figur...

I love this one: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31850126/#&gid=article-figur...

So apparently a Circle + H20 = DNA + Dark DNA + H20 + A wave!

I must have missed that particular algebraic relation in my physics classes.

This paper is actually an excellent method for revealing glaring flaws in the scientific publishing system: The other "co-authors" have many perfectly legitimate looking papers on the site. Clearly someone included their name as a joke, without their authorisation.

Similarly, there's no way to tell who actually submitted the paper, because it has a list of names only, no "primary" author.

Most importantly, this clearly bogus paper is on a government medical paper publishing site. Who's curating these? Why is such utter gibberish allowed on the site? Why hasn't it been cleaned up after nearly a year? Where's the "report abuse" button? Where's the "comments" section with people ridiculing this monstrosity?

Nowhere to be found.

That's because the scientific publishing process still pretends that computers don't exist, that papers are printed on dead trees, and feedback is via "letters to the editor" in some vaguely related quarterly publication.

We all go to sites like Reddit or YC News precisely because bullshit is often called out right away by at least one or two commenters.

Why is this "not a thing" on PubMed, or ArXiV, or any similar site?
Thank you for your advice. I understand where you're coming from, however, I respectfully disagree (plus, in my case, your advice is not much applicable, since my knowledge and experience with Python and .NET ecosystems are not that much different - I still will need to master quite a lot of topics and aspects). If I would be debating which UI styling to use, which relational database to use or even which front-end framework to use, I would agree that it does not matter that much and should be based on existing knowledge and skill set. However, I strongly believe that spending enough time to select the best/optimal technology stack for the target product is worthwhile and will provide a high return on investment. You don't want to skimp on architectural decisions, since fixing the wrong ones will cost much time, money, effort and, sometimes, will even be outright impossible. Hence my deliberation.
The paper was published in the Open Access Macedonian Journal of Medical Sciences, which is among the thousands of biomedical journals indexed by the National Library of Medicine in its PubMed service, which provides abstracts of the content.

I’m not qualified to assess their quality, but the latest issue of the same journal seems to have papers with more conventional medical themes:

This is probably the time to plug this wonderful extension [0] that directly warns you, whenever a link to a scholarly article is posted, that said article has had comments on its PubPeer entry.

For those who don't know, PubPeer was designed as a kind of forum where people can discuss articles after they're published (with or without a pseudonym). Of course, it almost instantly turned into a place for anonymous whistleblowing and call-outs for fraud, replication failure, etc. So while it's not an absolute rule, an article having one comment or two on PubPeer is usually a middling red flag for that article being generally dubious.

The reason I'm talking about all this is that the parent's link has twenty-five (25) comments on PubPeer. See for yourself, read the discussion and make of that what you will.

Quibi Explores Strategic Options Including Possible Sale
A bit of a tangent, but I think it would be worth distinguishing between vim-as-the-text-editor and vim-as-the-keybindings. For me, the value of vim comes from how quickly I can manipulate text, not necessarily that I can use a text editor in the terminal.

For bigger projects, I mostly use VSCode (and used IntelliJ in the past) but with vim bindings turned on. Because of this, I feel it's a bit difficult to compare the popularity of something like VSCode and Vim.
I'm not sure how performance is a problem for Intellij. Granted, I've only ever used Pycharm but I've never felt it sluggish or "slow" or got the impression I was waiting around for the IDE to do its thing. All this on a 2013 MBP with 16GB of RAM.

I've found it also works very well on Linux on a laptop with a i5-8250U and 16 GB of RAM.

The only thing that seems "slow" is starting up and indexing libraries and whatnot. Now I've never loaded the same projects in VSCode, but I'm not sure indexing would be that much faster and the startup doesn't really bother me, as I don't launch it multiple times a day.

Yes, the {great,bad} thing about computers is that they do what you tell them to do.

You should probably RTFM^Wtake a look at the wg(8) man page [0]. It explains all of the various fields that you can use in the configuration file. For example:

AllowedIPs — a comma-separated list of IP (v4 or v6)
addresses with CIDR masks from which incoming traffic for
this peer is allowed and to which outgoing traffic for this
peer is directed. The catch-all 0.0.0.0/0 may be specified
for matching all IPv4 addresses, and ::/0 may be specified
for matching all IPv6 addresses. May be specified multiple
times.

Unless you can provide more details than that, I doubt it. There's about a dozen things it could be and, well, no one can read your mind. Additionally, it seems that all of the crystal balls stopped working too (likely because ... clickity click ... we're at the low point of the ~11 year sunspot cycle).

WRT your laptop's DNS "resetting the DNS" issue, well, I suspect you'd find the solution in the dhclient.conf(5) man page, if only you bothered to look.

In the future, I would highly recommend reading the documentation for the tools you intend to use instead of using whatever random hacks you happen to stumble upon.

Good luck.

How are you guys all working in one language?

I work on a stack that has ruby on rails on the backend, javascript on the frontend, .NET Core apps to do data transformation, and some NodeJS thrown in there, too. I have to switch back and forth between these projects regularly. There is no other tool like VS Code that provides me the flexibility to have snippets and highlighting and the things I need to maintain these projects, while also giving me the flexibility to switch between languages and syntax on the fly without having to wait 20 minutes just for the IDE to load up.
We can say things against China. China shouldn't do this. Plenty of companies don't operate in China, regardless of the money. Google has struggled with this. Apple surrendered and makes phones there and sells them. Disney is trying to surrender with Mulan, but apparently even those they cow-towed to them in extreme ways (in Mulan the movie they 'thank' the help of the Chinese authorities in some of the places that have the Uighur camps! They literally thank them.

The enormous sums these companies believe they will earn in China, the all mighty growth, that overwhelms their ability to consider the implications.

I find that there is still something to learn from the guests that are batshit crazy.

You learn what aspects of their message resonates with their audience, even if their reasoning is clearly flawed. Rogan is unique in that he frequently let's guests speak freely enough that they divulge the reasons they believe the things they do. And that insight can be incredibly enlightening.

As Aristotle said "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Perhaps your work is really about making someone a bit richer, you realize this subconsciously and refuse to waste time on that pointless activity.
I've always looked at it this way as well. Echoing some other commenters here, I don't understand why he's polarizing. I haven't heard he himself present a lot of polarizing views on things. His guests on the other hand, some are absolutely off the charts in terms of how polar their views are.

The reason his podcast is popular is because his guests are almost always interesting and contrary to a LOT of media in our era, he lets them speak. I think the viewpoint that somehow there's a cult of Joe Rogan followers who listen in only to hear Joe's POV on things is really tonedeaf.
You're right, affirmative action here seems to fail in this way since high caste Indian citizens can simply move to America, and I'm not going to pretend I have an answer there off the cuff. Admittedly this is not a problem I think about specifically often.

What is 100% not okay and fixable even without changing anything about the reservation system is the treatment of those abroad that are in lower castes, which is directly argued against by the OP here:

> These upper caste people are not discriminating due to fact that they believe that one caste is superior to another, they are doing it because they are able to sympathise with the plight of other unreserved Indians in India.

Describing the reservation system as a "plight" on upper castes while not sympathizing with the issues the lower castes deal with is literal classism at work within US tech companies that is clear by reading links to and direct comments containing many first hand accounts.

Affirmative is far from perfect when it comes to restorative justice approaches, but an imperfection does not mean all other ethical statements and stances need not apply. Let the upper castes run from India to avoid dealing with the reservation system, sure, that can't be avoided. However, we as a society should absolutely stop the caste system from continuing here.

I don't think this is the best idea, but theoretically US/world tech could also take an affirmative action type stance when it comes to castes and H1B visas in the US. That'd be an interesting theoretical patch solution, but then that just means more Indians would focus somewhere that didn't take this stance. And the end of the day, this needs to be a cultural change within Indians abroad and in India. But this issue being brought to a larger stage in the US is a great start.
It's funny you mention that policy, because note it can only have a substantial effect on admissions by race if a lot of high schools are racially segregated, as is the case.

Read a random book from the Library of Congress
I made a website that catalogs all of the out of copyright books in the Library of Congress and other libraries. It includes a search engine for titles.

There are a few other sections, like this Japanese learning app: www.locserendipity.com/jp/JP.html (for sleep learning) and continuous quiz at www.locserendipity.con/jp/Japanese.html Radio dramas: www.locserendipity.com/Radio.html Open AI song mashups: www.locserendipity.com/OA/OpenAI.html Infinite 78 rpm records: www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html On the main page, click “Random sections” and you will get random books, for serendipitous discovery.

I created this to make more people read old literature and appreciate old music.

You can also use search terms in google with the site delimiter to search all of those old books in one shot—a corpus of more than 30,000 book (your search site:locserendipity.com).

And you can also learn any of 16 languages with the quizzes on the main page. To hear the Google audio you need to download the HTML and run it from the desktop. Google has an unofficial translation API and it only works if you download the HTML. The Japanese version is different, and all those audio files are local.
But it is broken if there are too many instances of failure.

It is not like there are no better ways to do it, like adding an economic constraint, or not giving reservation if parents have gotten reservation for job. That would benefit everyone except affluent lower caste families.
Lack of resourcing is absolutely costing us particularly IT. The lack of free access to proceedings data, the manual filling and processing without ease of access . The lack of access to lawyers and judges alike make them expensive.

The author doesn't have a strong grasp of what software takes to create nor the regulatory hurdles that are put in place to get software into the healthcare industry, but there's a kernel of truth here. Software developers (and software development companies) understand their problem space _intimately_ and they are the best suited to solve it. Every other field requires additional domain knowledge besides software development knowledge.

This is also why the best way to increase your value as a software developer is not to learn new technologies but to increase your domain knowledge of specific industries. Good developers are problem solvers not "coders".

(Of course you still have to learn new technologies constantly as well. That's unfortunately the nature of the industry.)
Meditate?
I laughed so much reading this, certainly not untrue.
I'm all for better restorative justice, but that's not required to, you know, not discriminate against people in the US, as the person I responded to argued for by sympathizing/rationalizing the discrimination. I'm frankly immediately suspicious of the good faith of any comment/post that focuses on rationalizing the oppressor versus fixing an obvious injustice as the post did.
How do you know he's great? I strongly suspect that when you scratch the surface there, you might find he's somewhat less than that. You very well might not be the only one who's covering for him, in one way or another.
Quick note here: we're investing in both pretty heavily. Google has a fair amount of pedigree on the web, so it's highly attractive to us to have web support, but we're paying close attention to the attention that desktop is receiving and are accordingly putting resources on it.

Go back far enough, and whole masses in Europe were legally bound to their land, hardly people at all in terms of law or culture. They could not marry without their lords permission, would change hands with the land, and would legally become a fugitive if they left the land without permission.

That's just from the improvement of the cells themselves, they also talked about an additional 10% decrease in mass and a 14% increase in range due to the integration of the battery pack into the body of the car, which the new, larger cells will allow them to do. An overall improvement of 30% range with these changes ain't too shabby, and that's from incremental improvements to what they are already doing. Honestly everything they covered today seemed so straight forward and feasible that it just seemed kind of boring, but the changes combined are quite impressive. The important part of the presentation really, is the total overall cost reduction of the battery pack of 56%, that's what leads them to believe they can produce a $25,000 car.

> A religious approach is not appropriate for technical issues. What you call "security through obscurity" is not the Devil, to be shunned at every step.

Of course not, and frankly that's a gross mischaracterization of the parent's point. The problem is not that security through obscurity is the devil; the problem is that security through obscurity is not security, and is not useful when you need security.

> The encryption key exists somewhere in the parameter space

This misses the point of cryptography, which is that you (roughly) have to try each possible key separately. So, for example, the combination of a 64-bit security layer (or set of layers) with another 64-bit security layer is a 64-bit security layer, not a 128-bit security layer, which you should know if you know what "parameter space" means.

This is a great point. Getting out quick sketches of ideas is a faster way to learn. Small, incremental steps are key to making consistent progress.

My co-founder and I have been thinking about how to harness this "sketching" mentality when it comes to daily work notes.
For our notes app, bytebase.io, we've found what works best is:
- create notes in short chunks, like a tweet.
- use a designated dumping ground to get ideas down fast, without worrying about where.
- use a lightweight process to triage notes into categories (with keyboard shortcuts).
