This is very specific to the person and cannot really be generalized.

I LOATHE opiates. I mean really hate them. They make me feel like my brain is encased in concrete and they do nothing for my pain until you hit the hydromorphone level. And all hydromorphone does is suppress the pain enough that I go "Thanks. <snore>" and finally pass out. Lather, rinse, repeat every two hours until the surgeon finally cut me open.

However, that experience is not universally shared. I have met people just like me, but I have also met people who just LOVE oxycontin (which has zero upside for me--I'm still in pain and I can't think).

Addiction is very personal and specific.
Great read. The movie quote really resonated with me. I am well to do now but have had the anxiety and fear of someday losing it all.
Is it `details` [1] instead of `detail`?

Well these days Lemmy is the hot new reddit alternative, based on activitypub. I would think that's what people wanting a reddit alternative should look at.
Product Owner, which is a Scrum role but often a job title for an individual tasked with that Scrum role.

What subreddits have they banned that weren't vile?
This. And one of the main reasons that the paper from Google are routinely of high caliber is due to the internal review processes and your peers.

Publishing a piece of work for the sake of publishing by ignoring the processes that are put in place is outright irresponsible and that's the end of it.
One way is to have balanced yet asymmetrical blades. Instead of all blades reinforcing each other with the same sound, you get different blades each making sound on a different set of frequencies. You get less sound over a wider spectrum.

> Product Manager is a bullshit job that is wildly overpaid due to managerialism and the tech bubble excess.
You can run people over with cars, electrocute them with electricity. This doesn't mean we should never have built cars or generators.

The more powerful and impactful something is, the greater the potential for abuse. You don't even need that something to be abused - bad people benefited from electricity just as much as good people. This doesn't mean we should stop building powerful and impactful things, or think of ways to restrict them such that only the "good guys" can benefit.
>You just have to implement those things carefully with lots of edge-cases,

Say hello to homophones, ambiguous phrases and double meaning.

In Spanish a lot of verbs share the singular first and third persons. "Estaba" can mean "I was" or "He/she was.". Or "fuimos", (we were); but also "we went".
Wait, I just realized after 15 minutes browsing this website that I'm not using VPN. Reddit is blocked in my country, so Teddit will be the replacement for me.

I like browsing Reddit without an account, just to read something. But I don't want to install their super big mobile app (1GB+), and I hate their lagging and weird website on mobile.

No, the lever is amoral, the way it is wielded is the result of moral choice. Using debt as leverage enables people to own their own homes. Using technology as leverage enables goods and evils: widespread communication, widespread surveillance, wealth inequality (being discussed here).
It's just weird that I'm pretty sure that the reasons for the request to withdraw was for reasons of the scholarly quality of the work, not for corporate reasons like protecting corporate information, which from what I understand is the job of the reviewers of the conferences and not Google. Especially because other people who work in her department have gone on record saying that withdrawal requests purely due to paper quality never happen and internal review is purely for corporate secrecy reasons.

None of this is adding up to the process issue Dean is claiming.
> But one should expect a single function does not vary in the last 5 digits as one example did. That's over 16 bits.

0.9999999999999999999999999999999
1.0000000000000000000000000000000

Counting the number of different digits has no useful meaning. The example you cite has two results that differ by 1 part in 10 quadrillion. If you have a good reason care about the precise implementation of hyperbolic functions to that level of precision then you don't rely on whatever you happen to stumble on in some version of nodejs.
I buy it for basic research that a few people in a lab can do, but it seems hard to coordinate the efforts of tens of thousands of people that way. You need ruthless prioritization of different initiatives and performance incentives for management and other stuff that public servants and academics aren’t that big on.
You don't need to use react and vue as single page frameworks, you can just use them for reactivity / events. There are lightweight alternatives for that too.

If you do it that way you don't need server side rendering since your JS is only handling events and there are no client side components or anything like that.
The Republican Secretary of State and his officials says there’s nothing unusual about the video in question. So, is the presumption now a vast conspiracy involving democrats and republicans to turn the election for Biden?
I am not trying to diminish the work being reported on here. I just want to comment that I see these kinds of articles posted frequently, and they always leave me feeling like

Experimental "foo" results in NN% improvement in "quux" in new study. Possible human trials scheduled for "someday far far away" and could "one day" lead to rainbow colored pet unicorns for all humans.

Basically, some amazing thing may happen someday and I'll never hear about it and will likely be dead and gone well before it bears fruit.

It would be wonderful if there was a site that summarized these kinds of breakthrough research projects in a way that was practical for laypeople. E.g. disease, research being done, possible treatment/cure, stage of testing, availability to general public / how to get it or become part of trial group, cost, risks etc. E.g. I'd love to be able to star & watch this like a Github repo and be notified of progress...
Not really. If your girlfriend told you she was planning on breaking up with you after her birthday, would you stay with her until she did it or would you end it immediately?
Yes. Most of the research I've seen (and I didn't go out of my way to do a proper review) seemed to indicate that the thinking was that Vitamin D was a prophylactic rather than a treatment. Or, perhaps more accurately, Vitamin D deficiency might be a risk factor for clinical infection.

I'd be interested, as fraught as studies invoking race are at the moment, in statistics around clinically significant COVID infection categorized by ancestral regions, as Vitamin D deficiency in polar and temperate zones are so strongly correlated with skin colour.

Look into IIH, 5th or sixth nerve is affected, causes double vision.

Diamox fixes my double vision. Before that I was using prism glasses.
The bounds of cognitive dissonance never cease to amaze me.

First, you're dragging the argument into personal whataboutism, seemingly so you can include irrelevant jabs about family members. Even though cracksmoking by itself wouldn't have harmed anybody else, unlike say a nepotic and malevolent pandemic response that killed hundreds of thousands of Americans.

Second, even continuing in your celebrity framing, there is a huge difference between introducing establishment legislation decades ago that disproportionately affected minorities and overtly encouraging racist militias as part of one's ongoing campaign. The correct answer when a racist militia expresses their support is condemnation, not acceptance. That newly inflamed distributed bigotry will haunt us for decades.

For context I'm a libertarian and shy away from ascribing racial motivations because racism begets more racism (aka "identity politics") and it's all just a form of collectivism. I see Breonna Taylor's murder as a failure to apply the rule of law to the police themselves, and not racism per se. But that bullshit about Harris's "birth certificate" was the straw that broke the camel's back for me, and I'm done steelmanning Republican talking points to explain away the elephant in the room as just some fading contingent. You too can either admit that and move forward, or be part of the problem dragging us back 50 years.
Traditionally Business Analysts (BAs) had the same role as Product Managers, but were also tasked with testing the product to ensure the product met specifications. This was common in the Systems Integration type consulting firms (Accenture, IBMGS,...) and also in Financial Services.

With Product Managers, I have noted they do not typically have the testing role.
Go back to school and either get another degree or just take classes that you find interesting. That's something I've always wanted to do if I was in your position. Just learn for the sake of learning without any external pressure of how fast I need to progress or which classes are useful etc. Maybe take a few semesters of French, a literature class, some pure math classes, etc.
They can post it somewhere with standards of evidence if they want to be taken seriously. Why waste time looking into it on the off chance it has more veracity than everything around it?
Good point. Often by truly commiting to some goal or task that we'd like to develop into a habit for just ~21 days in a row, we can build that new habit.

Again, easier said than done however.

Might be time for me to revist the book The Power of Habit, but from what I remember, the main idea is to:

1. Identify what actions/events/stimuli cause us to fall back into old habits that we'd like to change.

2. Notice when those events are happening, and

3. Take some simple action to change our default mode response to the habit we'd like to develop

Edit: Cue -> Routine -> Reward is the main pathway for habit formation in the brain.
I've set all of these, and none of them are sticky enough to work all the time.

Reddit user for 10+ years here, coder and designer for 20+. I know the site pretty well. If I can't figure it out, it's pretty fucked.
I graduated college in 1984, so my note taking was entirely pen & paper. What's the norm in college nowadays? Is everyone banging away on laptops? That seems like it would be distracting to me.
If it is laptops, what software do people use? Simple text editor, Word...?
I guess my beef is, how come everything is game for criticism EXCEPT the critical theorists? Why can't we analyze their power incentives as well?
The blog mentions ORM, but it actually has nothing to do with orms, if you read it closer.

1. ID generation is generic problem. You can go two ways about it, one is letting your DB handle/generate it, and one handling it at application level. Your ORM can do it, or they may not. TypeORM/Sequelize are primitive ORMs compared to hibernate/nhibernate, but ORM could be a place where you can handle ID generation, or you can handle it in your business code.

2. .NET has nothing to do with it, if you want to extract information out of it, it applies to any language, concepts are programming concepts.

3. At the time i suggested HiLo > Comb > UUIDv4 and i actually gave my rationale. These days i choose sequential uuid/comb instead, mostly because i don't care about readable ids.

On HiLo:
If you want mostly sequential human readable numbers, instead of using DB generated identity, it's smarter to use a simple algorithm like HiLo algorithm. Hi/Lo is High + Lo referring to bucketization of the numbers. Hi goes from 0...infinity, Lo goes from 0 to bucketsize-1.

The basic idea is, if you have an application (or a distributed system for that matter), you preallocate id ranges to each node instance in your application.
Bucket size: 128
Instance 1: Hi=0, Lo=0
Instance 2: Hi=1, Lo=0

Instances assign ids based on the following formula: Hi * bucketSize + (Lo++);

This means instances can assign ids from 0...127 and and 128 ...255 on their own, without hitting database. When they run out of their range, they make a new query and increment Hi parameter stored in database.

Applications assigning ids without hitting database is important. Think of the following scenario:
If you have Order + Order Details, you can send all the inserts in one go if the order id is preassigned. Otherwise, you have to insert the order, get the id, then insert the order details with order id you just obtained.

On Comb creates less fragmentation in the database. I actually put a small bit of image there that simply shows what happens if you insert thousands of records with id=uuid4 vs comb. One of the tables will be more fragmented. the other will be significantly less..

UUIDv1 is structured as [low bits of timestamp, mid bits of timestamp, high bits of timestamp....] which means first bits of uuid moves faster than middle/higher bits, which is very problematic for the fragmentation.

Fantastic read!

Always remember that "money doesn't buy happiness" is the shibboleth for people who always had money. Bring that up next time someone says it. Fun reaction guaranteed.

I like to follow it up with my favorite slavic saying: "Sure money won't make you happy, but crying in a Ferrari is much nicer than on the bus"
That's true, I generally don't care about the welfare of apple sellers, and I'll take a deal when I see one.

But, and I hate to stretch this analogy to its breaking point, it's more like the overwhelming majority of Americans are apple sellers (read: wage laborers) and they have no way to achieve basic human rights like food, shelter, and baseline medical care without selling their apples. And they can only sell to one buyer at a time as part of an apple contract (employment contract) and if that buyer decides to stop buying from them ("restructuring"), which the buyer may do at any time (right-to-work laws), our apple seller has to go looking for another buyer (job search) which can take months all while their savings dwindle...

So you can see why some people might think this is not the optimal way to structure a society. Or to just put the analogy in its coffin, they might see this situation as more complicated than just a few apple-buyers getting a bargain.
Whoa, their app is 1GB+? Why on Earth is it so large? After all of their horrible, annoying, devious and deceitful ways that they've tried to get me to install the app when trying to browse their mobile site I will never ever install that app and this is just another good reason not to.
You use them when their downsides aren't excessive (e.g. the error is tolerable) and/or when their upsides are attractive (e.g. you need the speed of raw hardware floats, and you might be doing math on numbers of vastly different orders of magnitude).

Specific examples include differential equation solvers (vastly different orders of magnitude to deal with), plotting libraries (only have to be correct to within a pixel), and a ton of other graphics-related operations for that matter (only have to be correct to within a pixel, and most classes of small errors won't be important anyway).

Some amount of error can even be desirable (see a lot of the work the last half-decade in reduced precision neural networks).

Floats aren't bad -- they're a tool in your toolbox, and they won't hammer every nail.
"but they're fools if they think world-class academics are going to work for them under draconian publishing standards"

?

I suggest it might be 'foolish' to imply that 'a 2 week quick review with minor additions' are anything remotely 'draconian'.

Just the opposite -- this is a siren call to great researchers who want to be highly paid and work on great and novel things, full well knowing Google has a very light review process, won't interfere or suppress.

This makes Google sound like a great place to do research, probably better than most public institutions.
You absolutely should think about the ways the things you create can be used to harm other people, and take steps to mitigate that.
Right, but idiots and the media will say "the excess mortality was X, so coronavirus killed X people", even if a large fraction of that was actually due to our response to corona.

I suspect that they were looking for a way to separate themselves from her. I was very upset when I read her attack on Yann LeCun. At least in my eyes, she was hurting Google brand. I read her tweets and she seems to see racism in every turn. In my opinion, that was a behavior of a political activist, not an AI researcher.
> “Googling it” is okay!

I wrote a book called “Relevant Search” and created one of the most popular Elasticsearch plugins (Elasticsearch Learning to rank). I’ve worked in Solr, Lucene, and Elasticsearch for more than 8 years more or less constantly.

I have, at any given time, dozens of google tabs open dedicated to Solr, Lucene, Elasticsearch. Sometimes on basic things to jog my mind.

Knowing how to interpret information online, what exactly to search for, and having memory to be jogged by other context is just part of what it means to have a skill.

Memorizing documentation is rarely a good use of brain cells IMO, even pre google when instead you used a book index/ToC to do the same thing.
I mean people will point to all-cause excess mortality as a justification to say "Coronavirus killed X million people" even if half of those were lockdown deaths.
Another thing I've always wanted to do if I was financially independent is to pick a really important problem without any obvious incremental solution and work on it. Very unlikely to solve it, but it was be very satisfying to work on something without the pressure of turning a profit from it.

Maybe cancer, global warming, Riemann Hypothesis, etc. Again, obviously very unlikely to be able to make any real progress on these, but I personally find it attractive to work on something big.
Is there a way to get my list of subscriptions from Reddit? Or to set up a list of preferred subs?
My karma on Reddit was about 5500 before I deleted my account and walked away. The thing I remember most about it is echo chambers. The insecurity was very real, kind of like programming in the corporate world, but heavily magnified.
They almost certainly get to produce them under seal in that case though.
Having built sites of similar levels of interactivity, we would have used some sort of server side framework with a template library (A custom PHP framework+Smarty, Spring Boot+Thymeleaf, Python+Django), without any front end frameworks at all. We would use jQuery a little, and later some Bootstrap. But these days vanilla JS would probably suffice for what we'd generally have used jQuery for. This is probably a bit old school at this point, I'm sure.
> many tools in this space would likely accomplish this goal

Exactly, so what made your team choose Prettier versus the other tools if not the fact Prettier is the trendier choice? If some of these other tools becomes the tool du jour, what's the guarantee that people won't start arguing that you should all move over to it? You only see it as nipping the argument in the bud while a single solution holds the majority mindshare on what to do with the argument.

9–1 The electric potential gradient of the atmosphere

On an ordinary day over flat desert country, or over the sea, as one goes upward from the surface of the ground the electric potential increases by about 100 volts per meter. Thus there is a vertical electric field E of 100 volts/m in the air.
That’s a hot take, as if a boss/billionaire has never exploited the power differential to have their employees to work weekends or holidays to get a product shipped.
But why?

Why is a plaintext unformatted file with just words and no markup any improvement? They're both editable, readable in a raw form, and probably not how you want them to actually be consumed.

So why not just keep it in one file?
After I realised how long I was spending mindlessly browsing Reddit, this is what I ended up doing. I nuked my account and just bookmarked the subs I was subscribed to. Now whenever I feel like I need a hit of Reddit, I visit one of my bookmarks and do a quick catchup. I've done the same with YouTube and have found I spend far less time on these sites now with just the slightly added friction of deleting an account (which I believe now offer no real benefits at all if you're just consuming the content).
Focus on diversity of perspective as opposed to superficial diversity. For example, a second generation Taiwanese American can bring a very different perspective from that of a Taiwanese immigrant. The latter is more likely to bring something unique to the table.
Oh wow, that was sneaky.

In my experience, all sides do come up with "great ideas" all the time, but it is their job to estimate effort and ROI before starting on any one idea.

Sure, there are plenty of engineers who are unable to come up with an incremental approach for a "great idea", but there are as many PMs who are unable to understand the incremental approach and would rather have it all or nothing.

Every one of them needs to experience true incremental delivery of value to really buy into it.
