The framing you have of "life changing" could be the issue. There is rarely an intervention that is life changing - be it exercise, good eating habits or otherwise. One has to observe dopamine fasting to an extent everyday - no phones 2 hours before sleep, only 30 mins on SM, etc. to extensive retreats every on a monthly, quarterly to get benefits.

IMHO, dopamine fasting extends beyond digital detox. Digital detox is one application of Dopamine fasting. In an intensive meditation retreat where all communication and gadgets are banned and foods are simple, the senses are enhanced to the point that post retreat simple stimuli like a cup of coffee give intense joy.

You seem to be well aware of the benefits of it, the author is just putting it into a formal framework. Camping is a great way to do Dopaine Fasting especially if one avoids talk. A lot of what modern secular science discovers was known to the ancients - I guess in the old days it would be called a prayer retreat :)
You can do this in Python as well, see SQLAlchemy's "reflection" capability for instance. You can even generate annotations at runtime if you wanted to (but there wouldn't be much point).

I'm pretty confused as to why you would want to have annotations baked into your source code anyway, if you are reading the database schema at runtime.
I’m not entirely sure that he can reliably tilt the deck on Facebook sentiment, and if so he can only push it in very vaguely defined directions. In comparison Rupert Murdoch can exert very fine grained control on specific issues and craft specific narratives to be pushed by his media empire. All Zuck can do is fiddle with algorithms and hope the results tilt one way or another. I’m not even sure he can reliably do that. I think pretty the vast majority of the effects of Facebook’s algorithmic attention trolling have been entirely accidental.
Sorry I do not understand your weight/force analogy. I assume that in a car, both sides have equal weight/inertia.

Anyway, I did write "approximately" to avoid discussing acceleration/inertia of the differential itself. I should have written "in steady state" or something like that. It is true that a complete discussion can be more involved
LOL, I think our attention spans are different. Also, we're not the captive audience sitting on folding chairs in the cafeteria with the 16mm projector rolling in the background — we can hit the back button if in a few seconds we are not drawn in.

Nah, Taiwanese people view the masks as protection against germs and pollution. I understand the context of suggesting they are obedient but I still disagree with that. Chalking it up to obedience in a way takes agency from them- they choose to wear masks because they know that they work and the government is enforcing their use as well. They don’t wear them because they are merely told to. It’s plain to everyone here that America is handling the virus poorly because most Americans are miseducated or retarded and refuse to take simple precautions because they are uncomfortable or inconvenient. Also there are severe leadership issues in America and no healthcare. It’s the perfect storm of fucking up. Taiwanese people have zero interest in modelling any policies in place in America. Most people here think the country is fundamentally broken.

They could have created their own chunk type and set the safe-to-copy but to 1, permitting apps to round-trip the chunk without knowing exactly what was in it. From the spec:

> If a chunk's safe-to-copy bit is 1, the chunk may be copied to a modified PNG file whether or not the software recognizes the chunk type, and regardless of the extent of the file modifications.
Just so the laymen here don’t think this is some kind of hack, this is what is referred to as “rotating your tires”, which should sound familiar.

The problem is that tires are often not rotatable due to staggered setups where the front and back tires are different sizes (very common) or due to directionality of tires (less common).
Thank you! That means a lot to me. :)
I'm not entirely sure why there needs to be a hierarchy of degrees. There are many disciplines that can lead to careers in software, and IMO they all have different strengths and weaknesses. I come from a very traditional electrical engineering education(analog circuit design & electromagnetics) and those fundamentals have been invaluable in my software career.
Electric still has some major disadvantages particularly around refuel times. That’s the one major area I see, and the distribution story is better for electric but also still evolving. For example the 6 chargers at the mall aren’t really enough, and scaling to a few hundred isn’t easy or viable.
Real Engineering did a video about this and committed the same fallacy. Engineers nearly always overlook practicality and chase perfection.

Heres the thing: It's not about efficiency, it's about convenience. Transferring 2700 megajoules of energy to an f150 via gasoline in a few minutes is very convenient, something that would take a Tesla a few hours. If consumers were concerned with efficiency the same way engineers were, we'd all be driving electric hummers and cybertrucks.

Hydrogen isn't aiming to be as efficient as batteries. It's assuming to be as convenient as gasoline, but with little environmental impact.
How are the electronic sensors going to work if they're isolated?
In many case the law as written might actually be consumer friendly, but case law tends to favor corporations which had more money to spend representing themselves.

Sounds like a safety critical bug. Rotating tires and replacing them asymmetrically (for example, after a tire explosion for me) is regular practice. If a small difference in wear disables critical safety systems and engages them in inappropriate circumstances, this can lead to deaths.

It seems simple enough to detect that, on a straight road with the steering wheel balanced, one of the wheels makes more rotations on average; then you calibrate the algorithm based on that. Sounds like a bug in this very algorithm, or maybe some hardware defect on your specific vehicle (i.e a sensor) that interferes with it.
You could use hash the password with sha2 and then with bcrypt, but not the other way around.

Hashing with sha2 will give you the same result every time. That's why it's appropriate to use as a checksumming algorithm - the results are repeatable. Bcrypt on the other hand does not generate the same result every time by design due to it using a randomly generated salt.

However, if you did hash with sha2 the first time, you may end up regretting that decision if sha2 collisions end up being possible and/or practical.
Youtube has recommended a few videos from the channel Learn Engineering that have been surprisingly good. For example: https://youtu.be/esUb7Zy5Oio
Nothing is too sporadic to be reproduced, you just haven't found how to reproduce it yet :)

I once solved a once-in-a-petabyte bug at Google, when I was still working there. One of our systems ran in two data centers on the same data, and the cross-check was detecting a record offset mismatch but not a data mismatch (?!); retrying the process almost always fixed it. Long story short, there was a buffer overread in Google's bespoke zlib compressor that caused it to emit slightly less efficient compressed data (one or two bytes longer) nondeterministically, even though the data was perfectly well-formed. We were detecting compressed records being at different offsets, even though the uncompressed data matched.

Another Google one involved doing a postmortem on a single instance of bad data ending up on a system. I traced that back purely from logs to having been caused by a kernel panic two systems upstream, that caused disk data to not be flushed while metadata was, so on reboot the system picked up garbage from the disk sectors in the file, which turned out to be well formed data from a different file and it trickled down the layers.

Also, this one has made the rounds on HN a couple times (second time I fix a golang runtime heisenbug too; first one was also fun):

https://marcan.st/2017/12/debugging-an-evil-go-runtime-bug/

And I recently fixed an OBS bug that has been randomly crashing audio for streamers for at least 3 years. I found a reliable repro that involved scripting monitoring mode toggles dozens of times per second; along the way I found and fixed 3 other bugs. That one was exacerbated by some of the OBS developers having built a rhetoric that those failures were caused by user configuration mistakes, because they often went away after changes - when what was actually going on was that users were blindly trying things to solve the problem, and sometimes stumbling on a somewhat stable workaround. (That one hasn't been reviewed/merged, still in the pipes).

Then there was that bug in The Homebrew Channel that I introduced after adding freetype/TTF support... That was a heap corruption that was crashing things way later (embedded baremetal code, so no memory protection or debugging tools beyond remote gdb). Finding that one ended up involving dumping memory around the corrupted heap and following pointers to what eventually turned out to be graphics queue entries, then following texture pointers and teaching myself how to read swizzled character textures from hexdumps... I eventually found I was not allocating entries for space characters in strings, but was incrementing the index on spaces anyway.

Lots of fun bug hunting stories...
Your criticism is definitely fair, but with retail investors there is a lot more value created by signaling your intent and direction.

Pizza Hut would never ever consider talking about drone delivery, or real time order tracking. Dominos is embracing those technologies, meaning they’re open and quick to adopt change. That makes the company much more resilient (reduction in risk) and able to capitalize (larger upside). That is value.

It’s comparable to Tesla’s stock price. Yeah the product is good etc, but Elon talks about going to Mars. Part of dominos growth is because they talk about “going to Mars”.

To be clear, there is actual value or potential value in this, it’s not just posturing.

People generally don’t hand out multimillion dollar assets to do controlled experiments on, and even then the “control” would be relatively weak since there are so many uncontrolled variables.

Does statistical causal analysis work when there are this many variables? Feels like that would just be essentially a case study again.
Thank you for this...your outstanding example has finally cleared the air for me with this issue.

And even more than that...I am seeing how old assumptions I've made don't hold up the way I've always thought they did.
Absolutely. “Anyone can write JavaScript” led to that crap. It also led to having modules that do things like determine if a number is even or odd and get exploited.
Case studies are more like a Paul graham blog post than they are documentation. Read it, get some ideas, learn some lessons and advice, apply some of it your situation.

I am very curious how Zoom took off out of nowhere at the very beginning of the pandemic. I believe I generally keep tabs on up and coming technology companies and never heard of Zoom until mid March. They kept popping up in media perhaps due to marketing effort? I still prefer Google Meet.

Edit: I am getting downvoted within seconds. This is just me asking an honest question. Hmmm...guess CCP got to keep Zoom alive.

Edit: My intention was not to be conspiratorial. I am genuinely curious how they rose so fast and what other factors played into their success.
Also, it’s not just an option for passenger vehicles. Natural gas can be replaced with hydrogen in the existing pipeline network, providing distribution of heating gas at extremely low cost and with a very minimal investment in retooling of existing furnaces.

Congratulations! By not dismissing these temporary setbacks as being just the way things are, you have the right attitude to become even more successful at what you do.

There seems to be lots of information, of the sort you are interested in, available on the internet (I won't recommend anything specific as there is too much!) One can learn a lot simply by digging deeper into the specific issues that one has encountered, especially as you begin to see the links between them.
We won't.

It makes me sad to think that 50-100 years from now most of the species we know and many more we don't will be extinct.

The only things left alive will be what we need to survive and whatever manages to carve a niche out of the blasted landscapes we leave in our wake.

But the people are dead, so they are the same or different ‘company’ in a similar vein of argument.
For general information, the GDPR makes specific provision for processing of personal data in the public interest[1] and in particular for processing of sensitive personal data (including health data) in relation to public health situations[2]. Explicit consent is not necessarily required by the GDPR in such situations[3].

However, there is also an obligation under Article 9 to have "law which provides for suitable and specific measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms of the data subject, in particular professional secrecy", and more generally the provisions of the GDPR about acceptable processing and protecting data subjects still apply.

Recital 54 also specifically states, "Such processing of data concerning health for reasons of public interest should not result in personal data being processed for other purposes by third parties such as employers or insurance and banking companies."

So as things stand, it appears that the UK government won't necessarily be in violation of the GDPR by giving personal health data to Palantir, but any processing will only be legal if the required safeguards are explicitly encoded in law and if that data is not being processed by Palantir for any other purposes.

Wow, Dev-C++. Not the very first IDE I used (that would be Div2), but at least the very first IDE I needed to use for academical reasons, back in 2001. This is the IDE where I started committing serious mistakes, i.e. the ones that make a lightbulb turn on when you finally solve them.

Interesting take aways.

A lot of dominos early success was because they thought of their core product as convenience and speed, and not pizza.

When people complain about your product (pizza) make it better. (This article talks about this was a brilliant and brave maneuver but I'm not convinced)

1. Hydrogen distribution might be able to use/share natural gas infrastructure (not high yield so embridlement isn't as big an issue)

2. Hydrogen is used for chemical processes (refining/ammonia) that can serve as a first step even if use for energy storage never becomes feasible.

3.Hydrogen is cheaper to store (<$10) per kWh than basically anything else (>$50).

But it basically won't be relevant until we have 12 hours of storage and zero marginal cost electricity 50+% of the year. Then it may be cheaper than overbuilding renewables or capturing gas emissions to cover the last 10-20 percent

Well in that case, my edit is inaccurate but the main comment stands. I won't fix the edit so that people won't get confused by your comment.

But I will rant that the article/blog doesn't have a publishing date at the top or bottom of the article, nor the URL. Plus, they don't seem to define a firm end date, they usually just referred to the present. So I'm not ashamed by not realizing the article was from 2018, because apparently the only way to pick that out is by noticing their stock chart cuts off in 2018 and they have no mention of current events.
"Automated claims systems, why don’t airlines have these? They would save money on support staff/legal fees/etc. The could charge a couple of pounds/dollars/euros more per ticket and probably cover all compensation costs. We know that “no win no fee” claims services exist. They know they exist. They know that we know that they exist, so what the fuck are we all doing wasting our time here?"

The answer is simple: You automate the things that earn you money. You don't automate the things that make you pay money to others - perhaps with the exception of your supply chain or other resources you need to maintain business continuity.

The author is thinking like an engineer, not like a businessperson. Not that there's anything wrong with thinking like an engineer where it's called for, but airlines are profit-seeking businesses.
I'm self-taught with minimal maths and this is something I've used. I started re-learning some basic math for fun and now I find it helpful now to visualize mathematical models of some basic runtime characteristics of my programs. A simple example is that I will visualize X number of users firing Y number of requests, and I'll actually imagine this as a live system with various statistical properties (% of errors and the like). It's not typically strictly mathematical—I don't write down many (if any) numbers or symbols—but I'm creating a quantitative model in my mind to think through the behavior of my program when actually in use as opposed to a sequence of logical commands like I usually do.
