Well the beauty of Markdown, is that it doesn't specify a lot of functionality, making it easy to understand. But when you have many, many pages of documentation, you will need to start linking them together in meaningful ways.

This is where is becomes useful to have tools that can generalize things. For example, say you link to another page in your documentation repository, in Markdown, you create a link either with an absolute or relative path, specifying the filename and optionally anchor on that page. Now later down the road, you edit the folder hierarchy, or rename a page, you will now need to find all references and update them manually.

Something like ReStructuredText has the "interlink" module, which allows you to modularize your pages, and use symbolic names instead of the relative or absolute path. Now, there are pros and cons to each approach, i.e. if you have a good set of tools, doing a global search and replace across documents can deal with this too. But having the flexibility of things like symbolic names and macros can make things much more manageable.

Of course, this is a double edged sword, in that you can customize, create macros, until you now have a monster in of itself, but that can be said of any tool.

I tend to see Markdown as perfect for standalone documents, and its especially good for formatting internet comments and the likes.

Tools like DocBook and other XML processors attempt to provide the maximum amount flexibility, and the cost of a steep learning cliff and lots of boilerplate, but if implemented well, it can allow things like conditionally including parts of documentation based on tags, or output formats, but definitely requires extensive tooling as opposed to Markdown and other formats that are meant to be readable in their source form.
Yeah, by "normal" I was referring to my version of normal, which is not having these conversations so frequently that it disturbs your productivity.
Thank you!

That would make property taxes in Austin need to be 3 * 1.2 or 3.6, which is double what they actually are.

So people in SF pay basically double property tax of people in Austin for their houses, excluding the fact that houses in Austin are much larger.

Yes, my point was that you cannot "just" use your own equipment. There are many hoops to jump through.

Also, most widely sold Unifi equipment is expensive, cheaper devices are very rare to find in limited markets.

I would not consider this available if I have to order it from another country and pay customs + wait weeks for delivery.

And again, the equipment has to be whitelisted by the OLT and most ISPs don't want to that. And cloning the S/N is difficult/impossible.

I think we have two different kinds of ISPs in mind. I'm talking about mass-market monopolies, and you're talking about "artisanal" small ISPs where you can walk into the CEOs office and pass a rack of routers on the way there.

10 years is a long time in security. Presumably that's what the maintenance was for?
When I was living alone for a few years I would speak out my thoughts rather than in my head. That lead to having conversations with my self and then having conversations with fictional characters. I think also being alone increased anxiety and heightened sense of fear. I always wondered if this would have lead to a form of schizophrenia in the long term if I kept living alone.

I used Firefix on Android from the beginning, just like on desktop, but the recent changes pushed me over the edge. It's hard to find a suitable alternative, right now I'm switching between Vivaldi and Kiwi. The current state of Firefox on Android makes me feel really sad.
That could work, but then you have the additional barrier of having to convince people to install your browser extension, and for people who are already worried about privacy, that comes with its own can of worms. Especially if they don't necessarily understand or trust the permission model.
Yes, what you described is normal. I do it quite a lot myself, especially if I am...

- replaying some sort of argument/confrontation or other high-stakes conversation from earlier in the day (simulating ways the conversation could have gone better--the best zingers are the ones you come up with in bed at night).

- preparing for an important presentation or meeting the next day (informal rehearsal).

- out hiking alone (especially longer solo backpacking trips). Without fresh content bombarding my brain, I tend to dwell on the same ideas/conversations.

- reading a particularly engrossing book, and get into a character from their point of view.

- studying something new, then I imagine myself tutoring someone else on the subject (my go-to learning technique).

Now if you find yourself having conversations that you were convinced are real at the time, but it later dawns on you that it never actually happened, then that might be something to talk (for real) to someone about.

> Ad fraud means that advertisers are less willing to pay to be shown on the service, so the service's funding decreases.

Ok I agree that ad fraud is hurting publishers, as a secondary effect hurting consumers but the damage consumer getting in this current system is much much bigger. This is like saying you continue taking 5x damage, cause 1x damage to your publisher will effect you negative.
>What is true is that half of any population is below average by whatever metric you choose to apply.

Not exactly, this is sort of true in practice but not true logically. Imagine a population of [1, 100, 100, 100] or a population of [1,1,1,1,999999]. Two examples where the population that is below average exceeds half the population and is below half the population.

But this is just semantics. If the population follows a bell curve and at high resolution standard deviations, what you said is generally true.
From a security perspective, you remove the possibility of exfiltration of client data, especially PII or other sensitive data. Many orgs that have to work with PII already have strict controls around them, but that usually means that the company installs crapware on dev machines.

> within 10ms of the drum being hit, write 100ms of the drum sample into the playback buffer

You can do that if you can predict the future and fill the buffer with data you don't know (samples from the future). Otherwise, you still have to wait for 100ms of samples to output. So if you have to wait 100ms for the samples, then the output happens after 100ms, hence 100ms of latency.

100ms samples can be fine for a video player. For real-time you (usually) do this: 2 buffers of 10ms each. While one buffer is playing, you fill another buffer with real-time data. After 10ms has passed, you start playing the buffer with real-time data, while the other buffer gets filled.

Interesting, I do like the layout here, but I do agree with your points.
Really, so this quote by ewmiller that I responded to:

> I wonder how long my employment would last if I just stopped doing a good job and then said that as a response to any effort by my manager or teammates to criticize my output.

was not a direct attack on the notion that professional conduct should include some degree of psychological safety?

Or perhaps this post [0] that says:

> In regular companies, employees who are bad at their jobs shouldn't feel safe, as they are likely to be fired.

I'm a Google SRE. I'm not actually a big fan of the Gmail interface either (and it'd be better if they actually followed material design, imo).

But this spirit is fundamentally opposed to people in corporate environments doing good work. Blameless portmortems exist for a reason. Because otherwise, every systemic or personal failure devolves into a scapegoating competition designed to find and remove the most vulnerable member of the team. My criticism is directed specifically at folks suggesting that internally peers at my workplace should harass designers.

I don't think there's a real difference here. All of those long-term returns on investment are just the accumulation of short-term cold/tired/miserable experiences.

Getting in shape is just going outside in the cold/heat and running for a short while. You just have to do that over and over again.

Getting good at a musical instrument is simply the accumulation of many many boring practice sessions.
You might have some interesting ideas but I am having a hard time following them to see a point you are trying to make.

Also you constant usage of the word "dumb" or "delusional" confuses, it looks like you apply some personal judgements onto parts of the discussion where it has no reasonable place to be.

So far it seems that you are trying to make the point "This is a cognitive shadow of how every animal navigates its environment.". This interpretation seems to me like an attempt by you to fit the data into this non-fitting notion that everything is based on psychomotor processing, because your mind is in love with this idea. And it's a beautiful idea, I agree. But I don't think it's the most truthful one in this space.

> (NB. political correctness is here just a regulation on how we socially coordinate).

The question was, how specifically is it rooted in motor cortex or psychomotor functions? To explain that you will likely have to widen the definition of "psychomotor" to such an extent that it would lose all its useful meaning. Which is exactly one of the signs, for me personally, that your theory is only making very limited sense with regards to everything we know about brains and minds and behavior of consciousness. That it's a beautiful theory that unfortunately too thin to fit the real world in it.

You touched on an interesting thing regarding AGI. In the purely practical sense, I see that a lot of people have taken this apparent rule(or a "universal truth") of making an AGI that says "a mind requires a body to even function or be able to be aware"-thing. People think it means actual bodies. In reality they can very likely be implemented as virtual bodies or just address spaces that can interact with their environment in an adressable way. Thus, a "body" is just a part of the AGI, a computation structured in a certain way to make sure the rest of it works properly. Like a generator in a GAN network.

In very simple terms, the machines' bodies can be just avatars in some video game, it would be enough to satisfy the requirement of the aforementioned rule, if game connects all the inputs in the correct way.
Nobody would believe drinking Coke will make you live free and happily. Still their marketing messaging is about connecting Coke with a youthful, carefree, liberating experience, friends, fun.

You wouldn't think eating candy bars will make you athletic. But they market it with athletes and active people playing soccer etc.

They don't show some fat dude sitting in the dark in front of the computer shoving candy and chips and coke in his face and becoming diabetic.

The associations can be immediate if repeated often enough. When picking a product you don't reason "okay this will make my life X", but you feel a familiarity, a draw, a positive emotion. Not necessarily consciously. But especially after a stressful day, in the supermarket you will be more prone to emotional, autopilot handling.
The tutoring someone part is so relatable considering that I am in university and usually have these conversations after I learn some difficult concept.
The point of CloudShell is to easy use AWS CLI without setting it up and setting the credentials, however to use this from your own terminal, it means you have to install software and then configure credentials, well then that would exactly same as installing AWS CLI and configuring it.

I've always loved MDN and wish them well, but

- how is it acceptable to run off github for a project that wants to encourage authoring sites on a supposedly federated medium (the web)?

- do we really need an enormous "web documentation project" for something entirely man-made, and which once set out to facilitate easy self-publishing?

Even thinking about these and similar questions means that, rather than attempting to document the craptastic overcomplicated web, we're probably better off to leave the web behind us for good, and start to concentrate on defining HTML+CSS subsets (such as for purely static docs, for light content apps, and so on), to distribute simple static text via alternate p2p protocols. W3C and WHATWG have failed miserably to do so.
Any such data notary/escrow company has a pretty good shot of eventually getting breached (they'd naturally be a prime target, since the attackers could get tons of data from tons of people on behalf of tons of different companies), and that'll possibly destroy that company and maybe also your app. There's also the risk they may eventually have rogue employees, etc.
It means FireFox could visit https://whatever.localhost without SSL warnings for self-signed certs.

Firefox on Android has been solid for me, perhaps it's an extension issue? I've definitely run into extension issues on mobile that don't exist on desktop.

I also only run two: Dark Reader, and uBlock Origin. It's uBlock that I find causes rendering issues on some releases of the Android app, but I haven't seen that happen in a while.

The only thing I do find painful was the app redesign removing the feature to clear all tabs on close-swiping the app. You can clear all tabs by selecting 'Quit' from the menu, but it's a hassle. I wish we could drop the forced tab persistence when closing the app as a setting, like used to be the case.

Yes, had this discussion on here before. While in REST you can more or less optimize a service to be performant at what it does, the moment there is another service that you need to fetch some additional data, the browser would be required to orchestrate that, which means you're also waiting for the return trip on the first call before you can even get the secondary data. This alone makes REST far less favorable in my opinion.

The secondary is that operations are standardized in GQL. Whereas in REST I can pass data in through:

Query params

Body

Headers

Path variables

Each team will do this differently. In graphQL these inputs are pretty much standardized and you have the option to implement security through headers. This makes GQL decoupl-able from HTTP (at some point). That's a great incentive too by itself since at some point the web may just be media distributions + services. Where media distributions is just HTML/CSS/JS/etc... There's new reasons as time moves forward media distributions needs to take place over HTTP.

The top response to this is caching - in other words every device on the planet knows HTTP so caching in GQL becomes a secondary thought. So yeah there's that. GQL has some variously applied caching semantics - so YMMV but personally I still feel like the gains from the first point are so dramatic that most people won't really care about this.
Also rich people that are willing to take a risk, and old people that stay relevant and up-to-date on technology.

I grew up in Boston and spent the first 4 years of my career there. The biggest problem the Boston startup scene has is that VCs won't fund you unless you're 40+, have a proven track record at an established local company, and can demonstrate a solid business model with LOIs or customer contracts in hand. Sounds reasonable, right? Except that Microsoft, Facebook, Reddit, DropBox, and YCombinator all started in Boston and left because none of them ticked the boxes needed to attract funding. I had lunch with Drew Houston right after he closed DropBox's Series A, when he was looking for employee #2. He said that immediately after presenting to Sequoia, the whole office had checked out the product and he had a term sheet within a week; meanwhile the Boston VCs they presented to (despite knowing Drew since childhood) had hemmed and hawed and said "We need more data".

These are the kind of cultural differences that aren't easily papered over with policy. They're also why the Midwest and the South struggle to attract and keep startup ecosystems. I suspect that many of the problems in California (over-regulation, direct democracy, laissez-faire overlooking of social problems like homelessness & crime, the tendency for everyone to jump on the next bubble) are actually the flip sides of the cultural attributes that make it great, which is an extreme openness to new experiences and a willingness to take a chance on new ideas.

"MathSciNet® is an electronic publication offering access to a carefully maintained and easily searchable database of reviews, abstracts and bibliographic information for much of the mathematical sciences literature. Over 125,000 new items are added each year..."

The stakes are lower when money, not privacy, is at risk. I have attempted to argue for years that the MathSciNet catalog of the mathematical literature should be open to all forms of machine learning and mind mapping software experiments. It remains a cash cow for the American Mathematical Society, and they're fiercely proud of its human curation by 19th century methods. Meanwhile, mathematicians continue to believe that math remains separated into tribes, with number theorists lobbying to hire their own at departmental meetings. The true connections between ideas defy these ancient categories. I see a generation of potential advances squandered by not letting third-party tools in to study MathSciNet.

The right ideas could help here. One isn't protecting individual privacy, just a cash cow. The bar is lower.
Lived up the street about half a block away from an HA club house for just over 5 years. When we first moved in the landlord straight up told us, then said that it was a safe neighbourhood because of it.

He mentioned the one time some kids decided to spraypaint a bunch of doors in the neighbourhood, nobody called the cops, but the next day those kids were cleaning everything up.

There was never an graffiti or anything in the neighbourhood until after they closed the clubhouse down.

They didn't seem to do much. They'd show up in nice trucks pulling trailers with bikes, then hang out sitting on their bikes watching tv.

Pretty sure they owned a few of the other warehouses on the block. There was one that was completely fenced and barricaded off you never seen people going in or out of, but there was always people there. No signs or any indication of what the place was.

>But it was the closest I ever got to experiencing what it's like to living in a gang-controlled area, and it was weird.

The thing i've come to learn, is that even if an area doesn't seem like it's gang controlled, it probably still is. They're just more discrete about it. You won't find out unless you're involved in shady things though.
