I found out about this just recently, from an old new york times op-ed by anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann (https://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/15/opinion/luhrmann-conjurin...).

Basically it's a non-superstitious variant of the prayer meditation practice well-established in Christianity (she talks about modern evangelical Christians, but there's also medieval mysticism).

It seems to use the same mechanism that makes us feel a nasty presence when going to bed right after watching a horror movie.

I think that it might help cope with life better, sort of a mental refuge like Buddhist meditation (which only makes sense if you believe in reincarnation), but I've been procrastinating trying it, because I'm quite sceptical that it works and that it's worth the massive effort. One thing is if you actually think it's a supernatural Being watching over you, another if you know it's just an illusion.
It makes me sad that a lot of people see this article as "cynical but realistic" and it "hits home"...

Many people, especially in STEAM need to be trained to critical thinking. That would avoid them to drink the corporate ideological kool aid before starting their career. Of course the HR is not your friend. Corporation thrives by exploiting you. Full stop.

I understand that, I mean the matter-energy balance in the universe at the moment accounts 5% to ordinary matter, 26% to dark matter and the rest to dark energy. Since we now assume there are less stars, hence, ordinary matter, but the galaxies are still accelerating at the same rate, doesn't that mean the dark energy accounts for more than the estimated 69%?
Not sure about Thailand and it really depends on your lifestyle, but 100k will get you through 2-3 years at most in the other countries, if you live in an urban setting, not really pinching pennies.
The reason that recipes list ingredients at the beginning and not interspersed throughout the instructions is because you can almost always measure, chop, and organize your ingredients ahead of time. Cooking is a lot less of a hassle and challenge when, as long as the heat is on, you're simply adding ingredients to a pot or pan and stirring or flipping occasionally. While what you're doing is perfectly reasonable, context switching still takes on mental effort, and chopping ingredients while things are cooking adds undue stress to the process.
It can be traced back to hunter-gatherer populations honestly. So what?

Mutual aid is pretty far away from abolishing the state or abolishing the private ownership of the means of production, which were the bigger ideas of Bakunin and Kropotkin.
I use the mobile browser versions of Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit. I dropped the apps a long time ago. So yeah, one can easily survive without the app stores.
Are you referring to Donald Trump?
Seeing his page loudly claiming that Islam is literally Satanic, in parallel with the coding style, gave me Terry A. Davis flashbacks.
I don’t know about the consensus, but it does seem to work, at least for some people.
The author lost me there too. I think the general experiences for many of us here is: you can't listen to music that occupied the same cognitive channel of what you're doing.

If you're thinking, writing, or planing(or anything with 'words' in your head or 'talk' to yourself), music with lyric is bad
(though I found the effect more soften a bit if you listen to what you don't understand, e.g. foreign language music, still, zero lyric is crucial for thinking)

If your activity is not about words, but more 'action' (e.g painting , making art, gardening) then you can blast your ear with lyrics or the whole audiobooks all you want. It works great.
Ask HN: Has anybody switched to software engineering from machine learning?
I used to be a software engineer for 3 years. Then I studied NLP for MSc and now I am an applied scientist at a FAANG company. I like my job because it's intellectually challenging and I like research but one thing I miss a lot is coding. I code far less than I used to. Because we mostly do data gathering and fine-tuning, which is pretty standard in any sort of applied positions but doesn't involve much coding.

I constantly have this dilemma: Whether or not I should move back to my old software engineering career. Has anybody been in this position? any sort of advice?
>Many git clients will hang on large (> 200 GB) repos; magit doesn't.

Maybe it's worse with other clients(haven't used any, so I wouldn't know) but for me magit does become completely unusable in some situations, like with lots of pending changes.
Is it possible that the entire reason that you know about the coding salaries for these countries is precisely because the salaries for coding are high there?

Like, I live in the US, and I knew someone who transferred to Switzerland and got a pay raise for cost of living increase. So when you mentioned Switzerland I was thinking, "Well, yeah. Zurich is an expensive place to live, and there are some big engineering offices there." But I've also met software engineers who seemed pretty miserable when I've traveled to other countries.
For anyone still unconvinced about batching/chunking, here's a set of tasks:

- Cleaning the bathroom

- Wiping the poop off the toilet bowl

- Polishing the silverware

- Vacuuming the car

- Shopping

- Fixing a syntax error in some code

- Washing the car

- Eating a hamburger

If you don't think batching / chunking is useful, try swapping ramdomly between these tasks and leaving them partially done and resuming. The context switch costs should be abundantly clear. Especially if you add in some travel time.

Multitasking relies on tricks and effort to actually work. Not even computers get to multitask (until you add more cores). Context switching is still required. Even going from user to kernel space involves some cost.

Listening to music, chewing gum and walking is only multitasking because these are using complementary or different "cores". Real multitasking requires independent pathways. Try reading three books at the same time. Or drinking coca-cola and some fine wine. This is my usual challenge for multitaskers. The books and the drinks wont fully be appreciated if you attempt them via simultaneous multitasking. The context switch isn’t trivial and if not properly done always has negative outcomes.

Especially the coke and wine combination. Nasty.
I think it does make a difference whether you spend fuel on the necessary or the expendable, the luxury, the frivolous, even if there's no hard and fast framework to judge this.

As for the assumption that SpaceX is getting a free ride on this just because "space!"—you're wrong. SpaceX is getting heavily criticized for littering the skies with tens or hundreds of thousands of satellites, just so people can have internet. I mean it's a laudable goal (probably), but beyond the enormous expenditure in terms of materials, as you write (even keeping in mind that in the rocket business SpaceX is Nr1 when it comes to re-using rockets), there's still the additional material they send into the orbit, material that sooner or later will have to be replaced, material that is not unlikely to cause problems at some point (like a possible Kessler event which could shut down space exporation altogether, not to mention the light pollution they cause).
Sorry to add to the pile of comments, but I really recommend you watch a couple of video on cutting technique (like five minutes longs video, no need to nerd the whole thing out).

The person in the article doesn't seem to be in a high risk group. They state they pedaled their bicycle 5 miles to reach the scene. I get that the virus is dangerous for everyone, but I think those of us who are younger and generally more healthy should allow those in high risks groups / high exposure to get the vaccine first, regardless of whatever "leftover doses" exist or not.

Perhaps this person is in a high exposure group due to their job? I'm doubting it but I guess it is possible.
Exactly! That's why I prefer listening to instrumental music when coding.
I haven't used Xcode much, so it's not for me to say if it's good or bad. However, I would assume that Apple uses Xcode internally, if it was a pain to use, in general, would Apple fix it? At least to save on development cost internally.

Of cause it could be that Xcode is very finely tuned to Apples needs, which may be radically different from those of 3. party developers.
Haha, I love your 99 analogy! I am in fact thinking in this direction already (eg. Zapier and similar) and will do majority of ground-work myself. But I am also aware that my topic is sensitive, so it will be hard to prove that it works.

I am worried there is a big difference between some playgorund and the real deal.

You know, now I wonder why hiring isn't bottom up. Most companies have higher levels find lower levels, but what if it was the other way around? Could this actually create more profitable companies? Ones that would be better run?
4. Don't screw around with a chef's knife for cutting a large root vegetable. Buy a chinese vegetable cleaver. Weight matters when cutting through thick veggies, even with a sharp knife. A cleaver adds the weight for you and gives you a convenient bench scraper for collecting the veggies to add to whatever bowl you're keeping them in.

How is this an example of Trump being racist? Wasn't this even before he was elected?
I am writing an MA thesis on cultural conflict between engineers and management.
I would suggest reading works from the field of CMS - critical management studies. You can find lots of articles available, with no paywalls, through google scholar.
I would start with Alvesson's work on CMS.

We've actually used CMS to improve recruitment and retention of engineers in an organization.
I subscribe to hard realism. We can't pay like FAANG, and we can't promise a fast career track. What do we offer? Oh, lots of things that don't cost money but are highly valued by engineers. Honesty. Transparent culture - who gets paid more, promoted, and why. Engineering excellence - management does not decide on tech choices, all decisions are negotiated from the principle of compromise between excellence, financial viability and short-and long-term benefits. Not dictatorial "transformational" leadership, with "agile" on top.

Guaranteed no overtime for engineers. Flexible schedules. The opportunity to participate, in an active, self-determined, ethics-steered way, in creating tech solutions that impact millions of humans positively, with no moral gray areas.

This particular org is honest about not giving "fuck-you money", but it also guarantees not bidding on military contracts, manipulating people to the lowest denominator, or engaging in surveillance capitalism.

From the earliest recruitment communication, we make it clear that we don't do corporate cringe. No inspirational coaches. No transformational coaches. No coaches, period. We don't do "teambuilding" exercises.
We do send people to conferences, on the company dime, and have the option of on-the-payroll personal project, for those that want it.

Surprising how easy it is to compete for talent with idiot companies that expect "loyalty" that they translate as "blind obedience through fear".
My Mid-2009 Macbook Pro is still good enough for most things.
So, we are finally dismissing "low fat-low weight" because the evidence was always weak and the few actually relevant studies had very questionable backers (sugar industry) and very widely misrepresented to benefit nutrition gurus to sell their books? Good!

Aaaand we are replacing that immediately with a similarly reductionist view (see title) with questionable backed evidence (one study by a start-up, not randomized) easily misrepresented by nutrition gurus (title image of the blog is the author) to sell his two books? Incredible!

We still don't even really understand where the "hungry" feeling comes from, entirely. Nutrition is incredibly complex. It is a function of culture, genetics, neurology, society, healthcare system, medical education, funding, corporate culture, advertising, cognition, organ function, sports, mental health, environment, climate, industry regulations and probably fifty more. It would be nice if at least the scientific community move away from the idea that we just have to find the "10 diet rules to change your life" and then we win - that's as embarrassing as it is prevalent.
VR in Education Will Change How We Learn & Teach (2019)
What is the chance of actually having left over doses in a densely populated area? The logistics are pretty simple with great numbers of consumers. It's another mater in a sparsely populated area.
Absolutely. My two year old son now wears a pair of second-hand shoes bought in a boutique that also sells used children's clothing (but only high quality items). It fits him perfectly. Before that a pair of practically unworn shoes with LED-lights in the soles was worn a handful of times; it fitted right enough, but in the summer a pair of Tefa sandals was much more comfortable.

Some pairs of shoes see much more wear than others, and unlike adults, when kids don't wear a pair for a while because the weather is more suitable for other things (sandals or wellies) they'll often hit the next size up by the time they can wear them. So sometimes shoes will hardly be worn at all.

And a pair of kids wellies must see at least twenty pairs of feet before retiring. I don't think these actually ever get to the stage that they are worn out: they just get lost somewhere on the way long before that.
Difference is that for most of the serfs, it is possible to switch feudals and kings much more easily than in the olden days. And even in the last decades this mobility especially worldwide, has increased. This is very hopeful I think as in the coming century this should slowly move people to a more positive place, all things considered.

Coming from the startup world, I used to investigate those issues quite deeply, as in “how do you run an organization that would be different, better”. One of the most interesting works in that area for me was “Reinventing Organizations” by Laloux. (https://www.reinventingorganizations.com) it kinda studies if this is even possible and what would organizations like that look like. TLDR it is possible and there are quite a few real world examples. Hopefully more and more each decade.
I've had co-workers who I considered friends but was disabused of that thought once they no longer needed me for something.

My opinion is that the OP is premature.
- I can't see how this scheme is supposed to interoperate with ESMTP etc.
- I don't want charts and slidedecks running in my mail client
- I'm not OK with relying on a browser as my mail client
- The linked website is far too thin for a proposed email replacement; there are scores of dead email replacement proposals, and a new FUSSP has a steep hill to climb. Build a team, get feedback from your new colleagues, and say Hi again when you have a website that addresses objections.

Good luck!

I've found this to be a pain, so good to know this crazy hack. To be pedantic however, TLDR is supposed to come at the top of the page - we could all have just read that short part and gone on about our day....
It's a great example of how the situation is portrayed, except witches don't exist. In reality, they're used to demonize anyone who isn't against witch hunts.

TLDR summary of article: Plain observation only shows 6 stars not 7 because the 7th is quite dim and close to one of the other stars. 100k years ago it would have been further away from the others. Therefore the story must have originated 100k years ago.

Bollocks and bullshit.
I am including employment tax in that %54 figure, which is a cost as well. So %31 + %33, ends up being roughly %54-53 on the total. Then add VAT.

I am running my own company, freelancing successfully for 2 years now. So I know these numbers from experience.

Yes, you can optimize the %33 out of the %54. %33 is minimum you can get, up to 42K sek salary.
One of my previous companies was using Shinken (Open Source Edition). Shinken is like Nagios, it's primarily used for monitoring purposes. However, it includes features to hold information related to devices (the location (multi-DC or LAN), which switch the server is plugged in, ...).

If there is anyone far right on a platform, people will attempt to associate the entire platform with the far right to keep people away from it, thereby forcing the platform to kick those people off or lose business.

Then the scale shifts so that whoever is now furthest to the right is the new far right.

Often kicking anyone out who is not on the political left will be phrased not as censorship but as combating misinformation.
That's no much good if you are a psychopath or weirdo though.

Well, 'similar' and 'dissimilar' are elastic concepts, and as the pantheons mentioned are certainly not 'the same' there is much room for interpretation, where different schools tend to stress the difference more than the similarity or vice versa. But there are sufficient common characteristics to trace a lineage in all of them, albeit certainly intermixed with other influences.

In the specific case of the Greek mythology, these deities have distinct Indo-European parallels: Zeus (Dyēus, Sky Father), Eos (H₂éusōs, Dawn goddess), Helios (Seh₂ul, Sun god), Castor and Pollux ( Divine Horse Twins), and more, enough to at least put central tenets of Greek pantheon largely within the realm of the Indo-European tradition.

The cited quote in isolation gives an incorrect impression in this context.

Recipes that claim “5 minutes of prep” are more like 20 minutes for me

Treat recipe prep times the same way you'd treat a managers estimate how long it should take you fix a bug. Truth is most recipe book writers haven't actually done the prep work from zero from their recipes and are basically just guessing.

It's the same with the these TV shows where they cook a meal in 20 minutes. If you walk into a kitchen where an assistant has line up all the ingredients pre measured and prepped in separate bowels, pre-heated two ovens and all the pans they know you'll need, and made sure there are two large pots of boiling water already on the stoves then prehaps you can make the meal in 20 minutes on your 3rd or 4th try. Otherwise there is no chance.
Fully agreed. I wanted to add that sometimes he also goes into a scientific detour about why something is done the way it is, and I learned a lot theoigh that.
Stop trying to invent a startup for every problem. There are so much more dimensions and ideas to "solve" obesity.

For starters, look at the vast differences between national food cultures and their varying success in battling obesity.

There is healthy food which is tasty and cheap, right now, in abundance. They are societal, regulatory, cultural and individual ways to get people to eat it. On the other hand, we are not even remotely close to understanding nutrition well enough to "re-engineer" a significant portion of the populace's food w/o some serious first and second order consequences.
GP probably meant maintenance fees: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maintenance_fee_(patent)

Should drastically reduce the amount of junk patents. It it's not worth at least a few million not worth applying.
A culture that promotes health and well-being sounds great to me. Here in the West any criticism of someone's health gets you sent to HR, or accused of hate speech (ok I'm exaggerating a little but I don't think we're far off from that). Perhaps after covid people will take their health more seriously?

Edit: by health I meant fitness, obviously many people have health issues that they cannot help.
