I use stimulants to cope with my ADHD. The problem is that without it my mind - a bright one - goes absolutely blank. It actively refuses to cooperate unless what I want to do is extremely interesting. Without the stimulants I feel like
a train cart being taken to a different direction by the rail tracks, pushed or pulled against its will by the train. I was unable to go clean my teeth, eat, or clean my flat; and I didn't do anything fun too (except for porn and weed). I was a mindless drone for most of my life. Stimulants have put myself in the foreground, and made me actually me.
I honestly didn't see it at the top of the page, but only at the bottom. Thanks for responding and correcting the page, despite of my somewhat snarky comment.
No, that is not what free association means, you are using the phrase "free association" and pretending "association" is interchangeable with it.

Living on the same planet is a form of association, asshole. Please go to the moon, you are infringing on my right of free association.

Obvious fascist.
Sigh... remember when the NYTimes was credible? Those were the days.
Just to be clear, I don't mean "reaches the ground as opposed to falling in the oceans", I mean "reaches the ground as opposed to burning up in the atmosphere". If we include the space rock that burns up in the atmosphere that amount is measured in the hundreds or thousands of tons per day.

There's a lot of rock in space, and the Earth is a big target. Tons per day is not a lot when compared to the surface area available for it to land on.
Terrestrial contamination in this instance is a serious scientific concern.
I would bet money that's a yes.
> One spends so much time trying to figure out a way around some crazy boiler plate code requirement in C++ only to realize that no, it simply isn't possible to do it in a sane way in C++.

It seems you're complaining about the outcome of poor and ill-advised engineering practices instead of a programming language.

And your description also covey's the idea that you had people who knew very little about C++ trying to figure out how to use it in ways that they have no idea was possible to use.

I get the appeal of a good scapegoat. Yet, from your description it seems you're trying to dump the blame on a lot of engineering problems you're creating for yourself on a tool.
More like 4% depending on what statistic you'll believe.
Given the current public discourse climate in academia, where 99% of the researchers are politically left or extreme left, I recommend a grain of salt for any research that makes claims racial discrimination. The report you quote has at least a couple of strange holes. The paper itself is behind a paywall, thus beyond mere mortals reach.

> For example, in about 10% audits in which a white and an African-American auditor were sent to apply for the same unit after 2005, the white auditor was recommended more units than the African-American auditor. These trends hold in both the large HUD (Housing and Urban Development)-sponsored housing audits, which others have examined with similar findings to us, and in smaller correspondence studies

They fail to mention how large is the gap. Is the white auditor recommended 102 vs the black auditor 97, or 150 vs 50, or 200 vs 3? Without such critical information it is hard to form an opinion, unless one already has a large bias in accepting discrimination narratives uncritically.

> In the mortgage market the researchers found that racial gaps in loan denial have declined only slightly, and racial gaps in mortgage cost have not declined at all, suggesting persistent racial discrimination. Black and Hispanic borrowers are more likely to be rejected when they apply for a loan and are more likely to receive a high-cost mortgage.

They fail to mention the magic words 'when controlled for income'. America has a huge income disparity problem, which is conveniently forgotten behind the ongoing race (and gender) hucksterism. Assuming we'd wave a magic wand and fix all disparities across visible populations tomorrow, it will still not fix the fact that huge income disparities exist between individuals. Google engineers and researchers get paid 5 times the median national income or more, and (senior) Google management in the 10x to 1000x range. The vast majority of the population is stuck in dead end precarious jobs, with little social mobility, one medical emergency from bankruptcy.
What? It’s just an online CV which has got me all of my jobs except my very first one. There are no dark patterns if you only engage with it as that.
I appended "(Remote Only)" to my first name, just to amuse myself.

I now receive continuous emails "Hi Steve (Remote Only) Jones, I have this open position in Omaha .."
long is definitely worse than int. At least you know int is never 64-bit on desktops, and it comes in handy enough for things like logarithms. long being either 32-bit or 64-bit on the same platform depending on the compiler just feels like insanity.
LinkedIn like Hackernews too has been infiltrated with the Facebook populace. The amount of random discussions that have nothing to do with the focus of the site is staggering.

I have a rule to unfollow anyone on LinkedIn who posts something non-work, non-job related.

Re #1: He talks about why a bit in the article. TL;DR: it was for the principle of it and an experiment.

He probably also wanted to burn the vendor/warn others.

Re #2: He didn’t. He states he ceased working with them after he recovered the $88.
The idea is to demonstrate a professional method for communicating with companies that are incompetent or otherwise untrustworthy. The amount of money involved and the business practices of the company with whom he is communicating is not strictly relevant.

From memory they were looking at worstcase scenario of ±10km in a strip of search area. They were hoping to narrow it down with visual and other observations.

It's probably not a stretch to say, that if there's one good thing coming from this pandemic then that's (probably) the mainstream adoption of mRNA technology. I'm very curious to see how this will help us fight other diseases or even create small amounts of vaccines dynamically on the go.
Actually I do visit the BBB if I am dealing with a new and unknown merchant before making a purchase. I also do searches with the business and add the words dispute, ripoff and problems. It's amazing what you learn.

Now if you don't find anything that doesn't mean there won't be problems. But if you do it's like a flashing red light on the dashboard to back away.

If the definition of squander is defined such that any government spending on anything OP don’t benefit from counts as squandering, then it’s not so easily solved. A bit tongue in cheek but not an uncommon opinion.
Start by questioning every aspect of your life, your actions, your intentions, your thoughts - why are they the way they are? Books and mental models are mere tools that won't get you anywhere, they just add to the conditioning and the "burden" of knowledge. To find your own philosophy of life you have to start by unconditioning your mind so you can become sensitive to the reality as it is and not what the world around you has taught you.

This is very concerning given that there is a new wave of companies looking to engage in deep sea mining (example https://cleantechnica.com/2020/08/15/ceo-of-deepgreen-metals...). As with other industries, I expect they will be running ahead faster than regulation and impact studies can keep up.
> Doesn’t sound like much fun pacing that small a strip. Like 3-4 steps?

Just wanted to add to the OP: If you do walks of any length in that space, make sure to alternate which way you turn around.
Geez. This article was hard to follow but... it sounds like the merchant is really screwing up. My SaaS business gets most of our users via an affiliate program, and many years ago I worked in porn where nearly all of our users from an affiliate program.

The #1 rule of affiliate programs is to treat affiliates like royalty. Or more accurately - business partners. Be clear about what you offer, be generous, and always resolve reasonable misunderstandings in their favor. A single good affiliate can make your business. A bad reputation will destroy it.

There are third party affiliate software systems that can help with trust, but they are all terrible. Nothing substitutes for just being trustworthy. This post is probably going to be top news in the "keto affiliate community" (which, even without checking, I already know to be a thing) and it will be a problem.
The question on the 4473 says "are you an unlawful user of.."

That requires both currency (are you...) and breaking a law (unlawful).

I agree with all the criticism in the article, but people always forget the world is not the USA.
You should try going to Italy and the social influence LinkedIn has it’s unparalleled whereas Twitter is just for politicians and journalists.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, I am emphasizing how BAD this is but also how forced we are to play by a specific platform’s rules.

A note: making fun of people using Skype in 2020 makes YOU out of touch with reality and not the opposite...the non Bay Area business world has just embraced teams, zoom and unfortunately also webex, and they are still complaining how NEW all this shit is for them.
Some DOS versions were better than others. But often the cause was non portable code on the applications. That wouldn't apply if the DOS version is frozen.
Most of your post resonates with me. Can you clarify what you mean by “actually me”?
> Science seems to have ruined you.

This is a very interesting thought. Is this something you came up with, or are you quoting any specific philosopher? I’d love to read more about this topic.
Yes, that's the cherry on top. They were clearly much too busy ignoring incomplete applications to send that email.
They did. Apple got beaten by the PC.

Apple is back because they learned their lessons and picked a market that is more forgiving for closed systems. But they won't succeed forever. Just now they had to maintain their lead by vertically integrating processors.

This has positioned them against the entire chip market where everybody is threatened by Apple. Can Apple outspend everybody else, including the entire Chinese and Korean economy?

Sooner or later, the open market will have the better components, just like the PC market. How many more buffers does Apple have to stay in front?

> other than clang and gcc, no other C compiler is going to bother supporting them anyway.

I understand that you have some sort of personal grudge against VLA, but there's no need to use misinformation to further your agenda. VLA are supported by all C compilers except Microsoft's. More precisely, they are supported by gcc, clang, icc, tcc and oracle developer studio (suncc), as well as several other experimental C compilers that seem to be written for fun as a learning experience.

I understand that it makes sense to avoid some language features on an OS kernel, like VLA or recursion. For example, it would make sense to avoid types of ambiguous size such as "int". This does not mean in any way that using "int" is wrong in all cases. Many algorithms (I think about mathematical and numerical codes) are very naturally expressed using these fancier language features.

You can make a very valid case for language simplification and against VLA and other "modern" features. But your argument is less powerful if you sound ignorant of the widespread support and uses of these features.
You’re killing it in an alternate Universe.
Food for thought: profit per square foot could stay the same by decreasing unit size and increasing the number of units if zoning allowed it.
In small claims court you still need to produce evidence. Which he didn't have until the communication extracted it.
> I had no evidence to prove any of my readers purchased something

Well there goes your leverage. Is this common in the content game?
I said this here before: LinkedIn has become a very sad place for me. I use it only two communicate with recruiters or other leads.

The news feed is utterly useless. Everyone else seems to be happy and excited and successful. There is no real value in most feed posts. Rather, they’re usually a variation of this:

"I can't believe it's not clutter!"?
> Castanhas do Pará (Brazil nuts) are not that expensive in Brazil are they? I'm seeing R$50/kg on an ecommerce site, that's like like $5/lb

This is expensive. R$50 buys you over two pounds of expensive beef cuts.
Fair point, but I have used Zoom and GoToMeeting’s integrations with Outlook and there may be some similar (or identical) features, but the experience with Teams is a far more integrated experience in Outlook.

Further, why leave the Microsoft O365 ecosystem if you’re already using it? Teams offers other capabilities and integrations that Zoom doesn’t have and the Teams integration does not require additional user action to add to Outlook (it’s there by default). Other value adds for enterprises include centralized identity/license/user management via the existing O365 admin portal/Azure AD, singular invoicing, consistent SLA with single vendor, etc. I haven’t looked into Zoom’s SSO integrations with things like AD or Azure AD, but again, that’s another example of resistance for enterprise customers/system administrators.
Yes. You are right. It is also related to funding issue for schools and law enforcement. They are exempt from a lot of restrictions of other cities, but have limited facilities.

A comment higher up posits that this is a money issue. My understanding of this post: due to COVID students were give the option to study from home, so as not having to pay on-campus fees. The university does not appreciate students electing 'off-site' but then staying on-site
If you’re hinting at taxing having more kids, I know it’s an unpopular idea but honestly it sounds decent to me.

It just doesn’t mesh well with the declining birth rates in developed nations. Some countries are paying people to have kids, and it’s not working very well.
nice list!!
Can someone give an explanation of what this new mRNA vaccine technology is actually doing?

What are the long term risks?

Considering the fact that they are going to roll out this genetic technology to half the world, for the very first time. And there has been no long term studies (10+ years) on what it will do to the human body.

Some rumors from the Moderna vaccine indicated that people got swelling the size of a softball on their arm, and it was rock hard. This does not sound like a vaccine that I want to take.
Can highly recommend the podcast Philosophize this!
Exactly. I bet the Gantt chart for this is pretty big and complicated, with lots of work by multiple groups going on simultaneously. I bet the work started a year ago, doing things like deciding which other manufacturing activities they would halt or slow if they had a viable vaccine, or if they would open new manufacturing facilities.

I just hope that they didn't waste too much time making Gantt charts.
The last 3 jobs I found, in two different countries in Europe, in the time span of 10y are due to LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is a great platform that gives the opportunity to look on how the market is evolving and what roles are more and more requested. It allows to find jobs and to be found.

Not everyone is in NYC, SanFra, or any other technological hub of the world, the opposite.

The majority of the people live in average cities if not villages where the opportunity to networking are rare if not absent.

Not to mention that if you want to relocate in other countries leveraging your skills, you cannot spend time joining events on the other side of the world unless you are rich.

I find “feeling better afterwards” to be utterly distinct from “runners high”.

“Feeling better” is a given after most training sessions, and I use it as a marker for not being overtrained.

However, there is no way for me to force the “high”. I can facilitate it, maybe. But it mainly comes and goes at it pleases. It may be a fleeting moment or it can last for literal days.

It is like flying. There is no pain - no discomfort at all. The mind disassociates from the body. I am Hermes in his winged sandals. I am God.

I've seen a video where they recorded a runner running barefoot and in shoes. When running barefoot, you tend to step on a front of your foot and much less vibration go to your whole body this way.

I've bought barefoot shoes myself and it is true that I tend to step more on a front part of the foot as well.

I'm 40 and most of my time is spent sitting in front of a computer.

I try to be healthy, but read somewhere that sitting for long periods is about the same as smoking.

So after seeing Wolfram walking on a treadmill while working on the computer, it convinced me to do the same.

I have a ikea standing desk, and a movable walk pad underneath. I try to walk about 30 to 60 min a day. It actually works really great. You can still read properly while walking, and if you can rest your wrists, typing and mouse are no problem.

Highly recommended!
Our software development company CyberCraft https://cybercraftinc.com consists of specialists that are radically different. It means that solitude coding affected their physical condition, mental health, and social activity in different ways.

First of all, sedentary work can have negative influence on their health. Therefore, we do not adhere to severe schedule - developers have enough time for sport or other ativity. Also, we try to conduct active teambuilding. Yoga, stretching, jogging help our employees to feel more healthy.
There have been some interesting market driven pricing schemes mentioned in this thread where your property tax is set based on an auction model, though that seems to have the opposite problem where the person with the largest bank can steamroll everyone else. High capital efficiency though.

Routers just need to treat packets to 8.8.8.8 as "send this to the DNS server".

Seriously. IPv4=8.8.8.8 means "this goes to the DNS server". The DNS server helps you find all the other IP addresses you need, which is why this one is special. One DNAT rule, one SNAT rule, and you're done.

IMO IP should have had this feature from day one.

hey, I definitely agree with you & I've thought about the scroll position issue recently. I want to improve it either by supporting both infinite scroll and paging, or find a way to build a hybrid that displays a page, while also having the scroll position retained. I'm with you, just have to balance what things to tackle in what order.

Under vim's default configuration, manpages are a single keypress away. If you press "K", vim opens a window with the manpage of the word under the cursor. It happens instantaneously, and it uses the same font and color scheme than your code. I would really hate it if it opened a browser!

From outside it seems like the US election system's biggest problem is the prerequisite of winner takes it all. It is interesting to see how this prerequisite is set as an unchangeable principle, with the result of very complex solutions to try to make the results representative, when one could simply release one self from the winner takes it all limitation and just count each vote and make a representative result from there. This is how we do it in Norway. If you go through the numbers,the representativeness of the Norwegian parliament is at almost 100%, with a special system for what we call "distribution seats" for the smallest parties to avoid the negative effect of having few voters spread across voting districts. I think this article shows how easily we humans fall into the trap of creating complex solutions to simple problems.
The good ones do. I've got friends with blogs who post twice weekly with programming examples and tutorials. You wouldn't believe the jobs they get offered unsolicited. It sorts out the chaff because most recruiters don't know about blogs or can't be bothered.
