Lived experience is different from experience. But I think its illdefined and widely misused term. The way I see it lived experience differentiates internal and external experiences. For example a white person, black person and an indian person all can have the same police encounter (external experience) but live it in very different ways. Its because the white person and to an extent Indian person do not carry the fear of negative stereotypes because they have not lived the life of a black person who has had these counter multiple times and knows people for whom the exact same encounter turned out really badly.

There is a difference because one party has lived a completely different life so the same exact physical conditions lead to very, very different mental impact. Thus terms lived lived experience are important and the concept is worth looking at. It enables use to think in a more nuanced way and incorporate more information than what is exactly in front of us.
There is a difference though, drug gang members often have limited alternatives for making a decent wage, whereas academics are more than qualified for a lot of decent-paying jobs.

I don't disagree that it's a dual economy however. Academia is supposed to be sort of a self-governing effort (note all the committees faculty members are a part of) and core members decide much of their own fate; it's no surprise that they make sure they get their lion's share first and the rest are distributed meagerly to the non-core members.
> security superiority of Linux in contrast to Windows

This doesn't exists. Linux is more secure on the desktop because it doesn't attract hackers with its 1% market share and because its users are more tech savvy.

Arguably otherwise Windows has better defense because it comes with built-in virus scanner. Also both systems pretty much don't have any sane security policy for the end user at all by default, because they both are trying to defend from the wrong threat - privilege escalation, - which is irrelevant for desktop users 90% of the time.

When I learnt about all the great scientist in school I was always amazed by their brilliance. However I always felt something was missing, what was so different about them that they were able to achieve so much.

Even though I had heard Newton's quote about standing on shoulder of giants I was never able to understand it fully till much later.

All these brilliant discovery had a thread going back to the beginning of our civilization.
I think the OP is referring to negative studies involving cannabis that receives funding from opposing groups. Alternatively, you have all the suspect studies describing miraculous plant properties paid by food company that put them in yogurt or health supplements.
I don't think the average undergraduate has any idea of what is involved in postgraduate work or what working in academia actually involves.
Easiest way is to press and hold the Touch Bar on the volume control button and slide your finger left or right–that way you barely need to look at the Touch Bar.
The preference controlling whether telemetry is sent anywhere is "datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled". The other telemetry settings are just about what telemetry modules are enabled to collect telemetry data locally (which you still can view with about:telemetry, but will not get send when you disabled "uploadEnabled"). [1]

Disable "datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled" and Firefox will not send telemetry data around. But users cannot be expected to mess around in about:config, right? That why there is a checkbox in the Firefox preferences just for this. In the Privacy & Security tab.

Also, when you create a fresh Firefox profile (e.g. when you use it for the first time), it will open their privacy policy page, with a somewhat hidden button that brings you straight to those checkboxes. I don't like that it's a bit hidden now by default, and they could do better there (and actually did better in the past, where there was a very visible popup asking you about this stuff).

As for "they should test this!": Right, and they do have unit tests[2].

I have never used 'ykman fido reset' and didn't implement it. However the obvious way to implement this, which I'd guess is what Yubico did, is very simple:

Randomize the secret key that makes your authenticator unique.

Doing this has a similar effect (cryptographically at least, it's not going to magically remove initials painted on with nail polish or something) to replacing the authenticator with a different one from the same batch.

The thing that makes the simplest possible FIDO authenticator work is a single secret symmetric key known to nobody and used only one that one specific authenticator, 256-bit AES would do, we'll call the key K.

The exact details will be proprietary, obviously there are opportunities to add features/ cost reduce the product, but basically:

When it is asked to enroll somewhere the authenticator generates a completely random elliptic curve key pair, then it signs a blob with the private key from that pair, encrypts the private key using K in AEAD mode and hands over the signed blob, the public key and the encrypted private key which it says is just a neutral opaque identifier, looks random, could be anything.

A relying party (remote web site) stores the public key, the opaque identifier (remember that's actually the private key encrypted) and some way to relate these to its existing user database.

When you use U2F or WebAuthn's second factor mode to sign in, the relying party hands back that opaque identifier. Your authenticator takes the opaque identifier and tries to decrypt it with K. AEAD mode means it'll be able to verify it minted this identifier with K and if so, get back that private key. So now it can sign a blob with the private key and prove you are still in possession of the authenticator which was enrolled.
Vitamin D won't "keep you safe" from COVID-19. That is misleading at best, most likely simply inaccurate, and at worst - it's downright dangerous.

As it has been discussed in SEVERAL threads, here and in alt-meds - and even in your own post - it is the lack of a deficiency that can help the body handle exposure to the virus. Supplementing if you are NOT deficient in D, won't help. Taking more than your body needs to prevent it from becoming deficient - won't help.

It's possible that people need more than science has previously believed, but that is a matter of the RDA, not a matter of being "safe" from COVID-19.

Vitamin D can't cure COVID-19 and it can't prevent it. However - a Vitamin D DEFICIENCY might have a correlation with a lowered resistance to the virus. If you are not deficient, then taking MORE won't raise your resistance. If it did, then the vaccine would already be out, and it would be primarily Vitamin D, and "big pharma" would be making a small fortune on it. Read more on https://www.canadapharmacy.com/

it's not, is that 16gb of ram is actually enough for 99% of people. I see many more downsides on the lack of upgradeability after buying it and on the cost of the ssd and ram factory upgrades than on the lack of availability of a 32gb ram version, which will probably follow up when they make the new revision of the soc for the 16 inch laptop and to replace the higher tier 13 inch intel models, that they are still selling with 32gb if you really need that amount of memory.
You might already know this, but there are Debian versions that address this situation: https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images...

Oh, absolutely! We're all cyborgs already. Irrespective of the actual interfaces we use to fuse ourselves with technology.

Take yourself driving somewhere and using navigation that shows where the traffic jams are. At that point you've effectively delegated the decision making for achieving the particular goal to the hive-mind, and you yourself have become a node in the larger network. At that point, 'you' effectively consist of:

1. Your wetware

2. The hardware of your car

3. The hardware of the device you use for navigation

4. The software of the device you use for navigation

But it goes further than this. For ages it used to be the case that only the rich and the powerful could afford to elevate themselves to a status of a 'system'. That is, they would delegate significant parts of their functionality as a whole to other people. From physical defense of their wetware to enhanced decision making capabilities, and possibly even wiping one's bottom[0].

Lois XIV quote 'I am the state' is now known to be apocryphal. Yet, it wouldn't have actually been very far from the truth. You didn't necessarily have to be a king to extend yourself as a social system. But you would have to be rich and powerful.

Now we live in a time where for many systemic functions that would've required a bunch of humans just a short while ago, you can find technological solutions that go at least 80% of the way if not more. Well set-up productivity tool systems can substitute large parts of what until recently you needed a personal assistant for, intelligent use of search engines and social media substitutes a bunch of people you would've hired to call other people, and access to trading platforms for better or worse have substituted one's broker.

And it's only a few decades since this has been going on, I don't think we have the faintest idea of where this will lead to, but the change will be profound. It already is.

Well presumably there's no accepted concept of a 'pole'. (If there were, yes I'm sure the Antarctican Flat Earth community is adamant it is the inverse of the above link..!)

But, generalising, 'where is the centre', I don't know.

Back in the day they presumably didn't claim to know, because obviously nobody had reached the edge, so there was just known area, and unknown beyond it, in every direction.
It looks like a lot of this mess started with Swift introduction. While Swift is cool and everything, it causes lots of confusion. Not only that documentation is not in sync but also many existing training materials ate in ObjC, there is legacy ObjC code and libraries. It's like they flushed all their ObjC history for this shiny modern experiment which may pay off long term but was quite rushed.
I think these super thin laptops are ugly, too hot and not ergonomic - also this sacrifices the keyboard. I actually think this model represents the perfect mix of all of these things - thickness (being the thinnest thing I can buy is not a feature for me) - weight (I really don't mind 1.3kg) and keyboard.
It helps to separate the PhD from the general academia angst because it’s in an entirely different category.

The complaints about the lower degrees are usually about value for cost, remote learning, etc. This is easily compatible with the fact that employers want employees to have degrees. It’s even one of the primary reasons the prices have been able to go up so much for a degree (economic value).

The PhD programs, research, and tenure track academia in general is an entirely different beast with some pretty fundamental flaws. Very few companies require PhDs so the job opportunities for a PhD student who wants a position that requires one are scarce.

I got my PhD from a top 10 CS research university and it was shocking how much competition the graduates had to get a tenure track position at some third rate university when they graduated. Publications in top journals and even a solid post doc just got you the opportunity to fight 8 other equally qualified candidates for a single slot.

The professors do not emphasize enough that tenure track research faculty is nothing more than a fantasy for 90% of the graduates, and that’s ignoring the 50% of PhD students who dropped out before finishing.
From Anandtech:

"Apple claims the M1 to be the fastest CPU in the world. Given our data on the A14, beating all of Intel’s designs, and just falling short of AMD’s newest Zen3 chips – a higher clocked Firestorm above 3GHz, the 50% larger L2 cache, and an unleashed TDP, we can certainly believe Apple and the M1 to be able to achieve that claim."

Not sure what the custom instructions you're referring to are.

Nope. In the definition as is very well agreed upon, vegans are against the commodification of animals and do not use/consume animal (derived) products when not needed. This goes beyond diet (hence veganism setting itself apart from vegetarianism which is only a diet).

What you name are people following a plant based diet. Vegan follow pretty much a plant based diet. But other do as well for other reasons that "the vegan reason".
I think it's the HN bubble: happy people don't write "I love my work" posts, and if they did they wouldn't be posted here. "Academia sucks", on the other hand, is the type of post that reinforces the idea and makes it to the frontpage.

There is also the problem of people conflating "Academia" with "Academia in the US".
Cool, that’s not how it’s sold though, nor is it how the students are trained.

How to succeed in reaching your goals consistently
consciousness; we can take different takes on it viz. religion, philosophical, cognitive sciences and evolutionary biology.

the most satisfactory explanation that i got was from cognitive sciences(https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/11/eaaz0087)or conscience as a side effect of brain's electrical and magnetic field and evolutionary biology(Attention Schema Theory).

AST: I am going to write a small time line for development of our brain(correct me if i am wrong)

Claim: This happened due to too much information processing!
As complex organism starts observing too much information; there were competition among neurons which leads to

(a)Selective Signal Enhancement (eg Hydra)---> (b) Centralized Controller for Coordination (Tectum): this is for overt/default attention controls eyes, head and is found both mammals and reptiles ---> (c) wulst(in reptiles) and cortex(in mammals): this is for covert attention, meaning you don't have to attend to the stimuli to process it; you can think about the sound coming from your behind without looking at it!

This is the main difference tectum is still in both of us and our response to most of the stimuli is controlled by it, but deep processing, thinking is done by the cortex which models it on a SCHEMA(a workflow)[neural pathways/consciousness] nobody knows but we tend to focus on this schema to do the deep processing [covert attention]

We make a sense of self using this; other animals as well!
We also associate ourselves with others using this; language was a direct consequence of this. As we extended a communication system of our brain to others!

Now; your statement if a set of stones can have conscience? Yes it can have; over the time if this system of stones will be observed; with some associated meaning to it states[arranged in circle or square]; someone can argue that it is aware!

You can look at universe as a set of rocks; the periodic movements; it's aware!? maybe :)

Ask HN: Is 16GB enough for Software Engineering (M1 13“ MacBook Pro)?
Apparently, the M1 chip does not support mort than 16GB or memory. https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/10/21559200/apple-m1-macbook-pro-mac-mini-16gb-ram-memory-limit

Nowadays Google Chrome, VS Code, Slack and Notion are now eating 90% of the memory of my 16GB MacBook Pro. One reason to switch to a new laptop would be to upgrade to 32GB. This won't be possible for now with M1 macs.

What do you guys think? Is 16GB reasonable today for average Software Engineering work?

This seemed to me like a nice question for HN (Mac and Electron apps ranting welcome)

Independent contract work where you bill hourly is a thing in tech and lots of people are doing it. Also, I'm sure if you really look around and are willing to make compromises in terms of pay, you can negotiate all kinds of positions with all kinds of flexibility.

In this space, I see that most people don't have what they want, mostly because they're not REALLY willing to make those compromises. I see a lot of people saying these things but they mostly want everything on top of everything else they take for granted.

Sorry for the late response, meant to reply hours ago!

I guess that first sentence should have been "I don't know what you think git-flow is, but it does not produce a linear history" or soemthing like that.

The history is very much not linear in git-flow, and for good reason - but it makes things more complicated and most people don't need it.

If, as you can find examples in other parts of thread, you use rebase-and-merge with git-flow you end up with something very similar to the methodology used in the article, but it is still different.

One of the main downsides to the featured method is that it's not clear which commits "go together" from the git history - you have to look at the pull requests in github. With git-flow, or rebase-and-merge, you always have a merge commit that lets you distinguish between commits that are 'releases' and commits that are part of a series.

So that is the key difference - the structure of the git log.

I'm referring to Anandtech article's claim that they have a 8 wide decode (vs. zen 3's 4), 600+ estimated ROB and 192KB instruction cache. Note I'm not a cpu expert but I know these are hugely different from other high performance chips out there.

> GIL prevents you from using threads to achieve concurrency

I didn't watch, but nothing in python prevents concurrency. In Python, a lot of things prevent parallelism. Threads/async are ways of achieving concurrency in python. Parallelism is achieved using multiprocessing. It is inefficient, but it works.
