I'm of the belief that everyone in life is just choosing the best option available to them. Every choice, every action can be reduced to this. And people who make 'bad' choices, or to spew out hate on the internet, are simply doing this because they have nothing better to do in their eyes. We need to give people more options in life, more opportunities. Nobody wants to be on the internet all day spewing hate, it's just that they can't do the things they actually enjoy in life.
That’s the one! Thanks.
You're not actually responding to what people are saying to you.

You: 1. anxiety causes people to manipulate, lie, etc. 2. anxiety cannot be cured quickly => it's best to fire them instead of trying to "heal" them.

Others to you: no, anxiety does not (necessarily) cause people to manipulate, lie, etc., so your conclusion is wrong.

You're just repeating yourself..
I think I came across that as well. I didn't like it.

As far as I understand, there are two ways to handle communication between the Python and ElectronJS:

1) Use inter-process communication. Basically, your Python app outputs to stdin and your Electron app consumes the output. Also works the other way. This is what I went with.

2) Use a Flask (or equivalent) local web server and have your app send requests to it.

I find method 2) a bit hacky and unintuitive for a desktop app. If you are planning on hosting your backend in the cloud this would be a decent solution, but I am not.

I had already done some work to turn my Python app into a standalone CLI tool using `click` [0] which made the interaction with ElectronJS very simple. I used `python-shell` [1] for the inter-process communication. I do think that I might not need this once I package my Python app into an .exe -- then Electron should be able to interact with it in some way without caring that it's built in Python.

I think the logic is that the scaling up manufacturing is already occurring in parallel, so it isn’t as simple as an N day delay causing N days worth of deaths.

The excess deaths would be N times the (small) fraction of daily deaths that would be prevented by the initial (small) use of vaccines.

I don’t know how true this is because I don’t know what the situation is with vaccine stockpiles, which could change the analysis.
I'm going to start directing all homeless people to your house. We'll see how long your tolerate them.
DNSSEC does nothing to address NAT interception of DNS, but DoH does: your network can't spoof a TLS certificate for your chosen DoH recurser (though, with some effort, they can just block you from the network if you don't comply with their DNS policy).

That verb "target" used to sound ominous but it turns out it's used for perfectly OK things like a boss reminding their staff not to share confidential information with the media. That's described here as "The administration has also targeted journalist sources". I guess I've been targeted as a journalistic source too because I've signed employment contracts agreeing not to talk about my work to the press.
Macs can also play HDR content on external displays, such as HDR televisions and projectors. This document lists Mac models supporting HDR: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210980

I seems that the new MacBook Air with M1 can't play HDR content on external displays. :(
This is a great list.

Why no Greeks? Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics at least!

I would add Sartre’s “Existentialism is a Humanism” as a short and readable intro to existentialism, followed by kierkegaard’s Being and Nothingness and Nietzche…maybe The Gay Science? (I am biased towards existentialism)

EDIT

I’m sure to get carried away, but some utilitarians would be good. Bertrand Russell is quite readable. His essays on Happiness are quick and impactful. John Stuart Mill, too, is a marvel of rationality (and progressivism (not on everything)) and sometimes prophetic. There’s value, I think, especially for those in tech to see the limits of rationality.

Spicy hot take, I think Ayn Rand is great for this. She takes hyper rational philosophy as far as it can go. It ends up being absurd precisely because it is so divorced from the irrational sides of humans. She’s fascinating, in my opinion. Understanding why she’s both revered in some parts of society and a bit of a meme in “serious” philosophy is a valuable exercise.
I don't know-- plug a $30 Chromecast or Roku into the back and keep going?
I know R because that's what we used at my first company. I would love to switch to Python/Pandas but I'm comfortable with R and it does everything I need it to with one exception over ten years of heavy use.

Python is wonderful but the cognitive load for switching in industry and academia without a clear cost benefit isn't worth it to most people I know in my shoes. I encourage new coders to learn Python but discounting R feels a bit asinine.

Hadley is still actively doing work for R which has led to a graphing packages that is substantially better than anything in Python (last I check). I have no doubt that Python will steal it and implement it eventually (as they should) but R is still doing firsts that Python hasn't (note the native implementation of Piping, they're late to the party on lambda functions obviously)
Apple is know for taking something others invented and making it better/more user-friendly. That's great but it isn't being bleeding edge. Like the first few iPhones. Smartphones made better, but without simple functions like copy and paste for generations. I find it surprising anyone thinks apple's strength is being bleeding edge innovative. It can be counted on one hand how many times they have been so.
I cannot recommend highly and strongly enough to NOT play at investing, most particularly if you have a finance background.

You are at high risk for overestimating your investing odds, getting a few lucky wins and getting hooked, and losing it all.

Instead research the FIRE community and strongly consider dollar cost averaging into a market fund like VTSTAX and the S&P 500.

You will, statistically, never be able to beat the market average over a long time period. And if you’re mid-20’s then you are looking at a 50+ year time horizon for your investments. That’s amazing!

If prudently invested in market funds, it is likely that your 10MM can grow to a very significant multiple of that over the next 40 years. You should be able to stop full time work now and live on the interest.

But you have to absolutely swear to yourself to never touch the principle under any circumstances.

I don't think this is enough to conclude that "it is almost certain that they were relatively high." I don't have numbers unfortunately but anecdotally I don't think Arabic literacy rates in non-Arabic Muslim-majority countries such as Pakistan or Malaysia are very high, even though it's accorded a special place in the constitution of Pakistan.
> You're pathologizing shitty behavior when the truth is that some people do bad things for reasons that have nothing to do with mental illness.

You should be able to pathologize people without it taking away their personal responsibility.
Otherwise nobody would have responsibility in a deterministic world.

"What you're saying boils down to "JS programmers are some special class of people that are incapable of learning". Which is elitist nonsense. "

No. It boils down to JS programmers often have a background in design and not math and engineering.

The former is helpful for nice UI and UX. The later good for efficient algorithms and code design.

And is your question about JS being a dynamic scripting language, a serious one? Well, feel free to check wikipedia.
What I am saying is landlords do not believe people are paying (or not paying) rent because of homelessness, nor do landlords believe that if homelessness was solves completely that would mean people would stop paying rent...

That is a ridiculous and moronic position. People can have good faith disagreements on how to solve social problems, and if you believe government is not the right avenue for that solution it does not mean you want or desire people to be homeless.
Such lovely people! Quite a counterpoint to Paul Graham’s recent article on how billionaires are not terrible people.
Arguing semantics is futile unless it's in the context of linguistics.
I think with such system in place soon every content creator would be required to have OAUTH flow to gov't website before publishing anything. It would help with so many things. Like copyright or fake news.

... ultimately also critiques of policies an the government.

After that system is in place its abuses can be endless.

I'm usually cautious about slippery slope arguments and tend to trust ultimate effectiveness of the democratic oversight of the government, but this slope looks very steep to me and very slippery.
Completely ignoring the fact that this Islamic mathematics reached the Islamic world from Hindu India.

Also, I always find it interesting how every such article insists on attributing such achievements to the religion rather than the region, even if they have to refer to modern country names, or even use terms such as Persian and Arabic.
The problem here is even the device owner is not the "administrator" of the device as we have lost ownership rights, locked behind EULA's, Patents and copyright

The point of the original story is "your" meaning a device you own, is ignoring your network controls

it is highly unlikely that the TV manufacturer is going to allow me to install my own custom root certs to inspect their traffic to HTTPS, so yes DoH and other things are a threat to network security, because if the TV become compromised I have limited administrative controls to prevent it other the blocking it completely which is a poor response to the problem

DoH is a solution in search of a problem that can be solves in better more user friendly ways
It is absolutely not clear that this would be pound-foolish, and homeless people do have cash if you get them off the streets and back as productive members of society.
Ah, better pixels!
I did it at an amateur level many years before depending on it to pay my mortgage. When you do it for a living it's very different. You no longer strive for perfection, you strive for expectations management.

Some things cannot be perfect due to prior imperfect work. For example if a room isn't square, or something isn't level, you build your new work to match previous errors or your work looks out of place.

I walk onto a jobsite and there are some unspoken rules. Learning these rules is part of the fun. At the end of the day it's just a bunch of people trying to get something done.

Working in trade also helps you accept the principle of "good enough". You should always try your best, never give up, but accept things aren't perfect. What you see as imperfect will likely never be noticed by the property owner.

Dealing with the customer has some quirks too. If you run a bundle of cat6 that looks like laminar flow then you will blow their socks off. They assume everything else is perfect. Meanwhile you could have wrapped cat6 around a/c ducts 10 times in the attic and they will never know.

Knowing where to put your effort is an art.

I noticed this 'extra bright whites in video' effect on my iPhone 12 just after upgrading. I had to go and shoot 'normal' + HDR video of the same thing a few times back and forth to be sure I knew what I was seeing.

The first thing you think is, how was I OK with this terrible standard video to begin with? The HDR version just looks SO MUCH better and the standard looks so flat next to it. Like comparing an old non HDR photo with an HDR one.
Hegel is useful to read if only because he had a meaningful impact on others (whether inspiration/building upon him or, at the very least, reacting to him.) But I could be convinced that spending an hour wrapping one’s mind around the Hegelian Dialectic is enough of an 80/20.

Similar with Kant. Bang your head against the categorical imperative at least. It’s a concept to be familiar with. I agree that a deep read of Kant is too far down the rabbit hole to start with.
This is pertaining in particular to the Islamic world of the 8th to 14th centuries, which has been called the 'Golden Age' of Islam. I think, relatively speaking by contemporary standards, you'd be hard pressed to say modern Pakistan is in a golden age. But this is well outside any of my areas of expertise, so I could be wrong.
> It is the company’s structure accounts for the majority of the value created by that engineer’s work.

Except that billionaire founders also persist in flattering themselves that their company "only hires the best". If that were true, FAANG salaries for ICs ought to be even higher than they are, and competition between them for employees would be cutthroat rather than collegial.

As it is, they are competing for employees as a group with the rest of the industry, more so than with each other, so the truth is a mixture: individual employees matter more than their compensation actually reflects, and the company the employee is embedded in matters a great deal too (enough so that we only ever see a randomly occurring concentration of high quality employees producing innovative products and services when that group is more-or-less the whole org: a startup. Inside a larger org, such groups only flourish deliberately).

I few years back I made an ETH collectibles game, like Crypto Kitties, but simpler. It was just to learn how eth/solidity worked, but to my surprise people actually started buying and selling the items. It made me around $20k in a few weeks (took a small % of transactions). Eventually, I realized it was basically just a bunch of crypto wales playing hot potato and at times using bots to bid things up. No one really thought these items would have any long term value. Not much different than most alt coins I guess. It died out on its own and I was happy do be done with it since running an online casino wasn't what I wanted to do with my life.

You'll have to forgive me but I can still remember when millions of people listened to, called into and cranked each other up on late night radio. The existence of a conspiracy touting ignor-mob-us is hardly concrete evidence of informational decline.

It is possible that social media has intensified this problem. Perhaps more cranks can crank harder together now than before or perhaps not. But "just look at all the people on Facebook" isn't material comparative evidence.
Yeah, I read a recent article where the opening was “it can be hard to believe, but the Bitcoin.org/.it forums used to function effectively”.

It’s nice that all the original stuff is still there instead of buried on Twitter or Reddit.

I ask to stop with the whataboutism and you respond with more of it.

I get it, you don't like the US State. Me neither.

You don't like Facebook. Guess what? Neither do I.

The point of our disagreement is that you seem to believe that people do only bad things because Big Bad American companies are manipulating them. And your solution is to destroy them by executive order and give all this power to... the US State!

The cognitive dissonance is so strong you simply refuse to acknowledge this point every time I mentioned, and you prefer to distill more diatribes against the US.

I am not interested in more diatribes against the US government. I dislike it and distrust it already to know that I don't want it to have more power. What I want to understand is what do you propose besides measures only seen in totalitarian dystopias.
Are there any artists that are considered a must for someone new to the field of art? What path did you follow to develop a personal (individual) artistic style?

Learning philosophy or philosophy history is one thing (I'd guess it is more about discussing texts with others than acquiring encyclopedic "knowledge").

To develop your own "philosophy", you need to get rid of other philosophies. Then maybe you will become another philosopher or not. Check my answer on how to think for yourself for the details.
For existentialism/absurdism, you should probably include The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus
Because the field is so broad and often highly technical I strongly recommend avoiding getting rabbit-holed. Focus on breath rather than depth.

Survey the landscape first - get a hand-wavey high level understanding on the two primary schools today: analytic vs continental philosophy. Then study each one’s history and origins.

Read this book (also available as YouTube videos I think): https://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Book-Ideas-Simply-Explaine...

This will give you high level introduction of the landscape across the various epochs, the big ideas and their main purveyors.

At the end of that you should have a good idea which philosopher/era/ideas interest you most. Only then consider diving deeper.

Specifically because you speak of mental models and “developing a personal philosophy” (and because you are on this website I am making some assumptions about your background ans familiarity with computer science/information theory) I also recommend Luciano Floridi. The Logic of Information: A Theory of Philosophy as Conceptual Design

https://www.amazon.com/Logic-Information-Theory-Philosophy-C...
You want to develop a personal philosophy? Travel the world, meet all kinds of people, work different jobs. Start a family, raise kids, build something, help others, get out of your comfort zone.

These things will shape your worldview. Reading books is just a small piece in this puzzle, and I'd definitely skip books written by professional philosophers.
This should not be a "press" issue, if they issued it to some random citizen it should face the same scrutiny

I went down this rabbit hole and have been listening to Daft Punk all day yesterday and today.

TRON Legacy was one of the most underrated movies and I cant believe that it's almost a decade since it's release. Daft Punk just made it even better.

Kevin Flynn: That's right, man. I got in. [..]
