To outsiders they're no more loopy than anything you'll find in Catholicism, or in any of the tens of thousands of other mainstream and fringe denominations.

The Bible has always been more of a political powerplay than a coherent text. It can literally be interpreted convincingly to support any moral position, from slavery and genocide of unbelievers to soup kitchens for the poor.

It's the ultimate meta-text - a patchwork of absolute inconsistency, which makes it possible for anyone with a yearning for political power to cherry pick from it for an effective Proof by Authority gambit.

And so all Christians invariably believe their own personal interpretation is the correct one and all other interpretations are more or less obviously wrong.

And some will literally fight each other violently over this.

A moment's thought should suggest there's something a bit strange and unconvincing about this.
My other half got me a De'Longhi Burr Coffee Grinder [1] as a Christmas gift (after I had been dropping not-so-subtle hints that I was thinking of buying a burr grinder [2] for coffee). Previously, I had used a blade grinder but the problem with those is that they do not "grind" the coffee evenly (produce a mixture of fine and coarse particles).

I can't compare the De'Longhi with any other burr grinder but the results are similar to those of the shop that I get my coffee from. Its one downside is that the minimum grind quantity is too much coffee for one person so I try to time it for when my wife will share the coffee with me. The whole point of grinding your own is that you can then brew the coffee at its freshest.

So far, I've been enjoying the results of having freshly ground coffee. Best of luck with your own grinding.

I am currently refining the metrics I want to present to my management. I work in information security so we do not exist until a issue arises.

I base the value of a metric presented to management on the "and so what?" basis. In other words: how it helps them to better run the business.

There is the "annual objectives" kind of report: how much we did and how good we are. Meaningless.

There is the "current events" one (nr of incidents, etc.). Meaningless.

There is the "these are systemic, company-wise issues I need you to arbitrate over", or "we need to do that, but it means changes and incomfort". Actual decision making data, the worst to present because they show problems and not celebration.

I guess that this is the case of these organizations that do not provide green money to the company (aka. "cost centers"). i hate these metrics.

(please note that there are metrics that are useful to *operational teams* so that they realize there is a trend, or that some performance upgrades will be needed, but they should stay there)

Out of interest why is the performance of a basic a/v be affected by “older” cpu.

Isn’t it basically finger printing files and intercepting IO and so the resources it uses just depends on the activity of the device not the age of the CPU
This is, I think, a good contrast to the "management by metrics" article currently sharing the front page. Attempting to govern through massive data or singular narrow measures each seen like folly. A broad, even vague, "directionally correct" measure is an excellent tool for keeping an enterprise aligned.

I think you are on the money. The article doesn’t say why he got paid so little and just repeats the same non info and says streaming services should pay more.

There are apparently labels which do nothing but help you get in to the streaming services and charge next to no fee but then you lose out on the services they provide.

Statically-typed languages are a much less cumbersome beast than when I first encountered them, that can't help but prejudice the debate. Python was an enormous breath of fresh air.

Type inference, generics and variable shadowing have mostly covered almost all the pain points since. I don't have to declare what's obvious, I don't have to cover irrelevant differences, and I don't have to consider the artefacts of types past.

Still think generics are static typists admitting the shortcomings of a type system, without actually doing so, though.

My guess is China is standardizing and mass-producing coins, and molding is easier for quality control. Hammering is more straightforward for smaller-scale productions. Furthermore, China frequently forbids civilians to have weapons, while in Europe there are many weaponsmiths, and people are more familiar with this craftmanship.

And is there is usually no face on coins in China. It's really nothing for some corner of the word to disappear after ages compared to making "kings" losing their nose and ears.

The square-shaped hole in the center - people usually use a thread to string together the coins and use them as belts. It's much easier to have holes in the center if it is molded, though I'm not sure if the hole is the motivation of molding or the consequence of it.

The book "Seeing like a State" expounds on this topic significantly, using scientific forestry as an example. The "recipe for failure" [0]:

1. Look at a complex and confusing reality

2. Fail to understand all the subtleties of how the complex reality works

3. Attribute that failure to the irrationality of what you are looking at, rather than your own limitations

4. Come up with an idealized blank-slate vision of what that reality ought to look like

5. Argue that the relative simplicity and platonic orderliness of the vision represents rationality

6. Use authoritarian power to impose that vision, by demolishing the old reality if necessary

7. Watch your rational Utopia fail horribly

I have noticed that labelling decisions as binary (right vs wrong, good vs bad) tends to create factions. I recommend turning decisions from binary into options/implications. A "bad" decision is an option with an implication assigned to it. If stakeholders are willing to agree with the implications, that's how it is.

Just some thoughts:

Would you be aware of some force stopping you from performing an action that would change your motivation to time travel in the first place? For example, if you tried to walk up to yourself in the past, would it feel like some force field stopping you? Or will it be false sense of agency, where you suddenly make the decision not to do something? Or will some event happen to simply kill you? Or will you suddenly vanish from this timeline to live out a life you over-wise would have based on the consequences of your actions?

If we are a result of a series of tiny influences from our environment, will the entire past refuse to be changed? Or will you be able to live out a version of a timeline where a different set of tiny influences add up to the same future where you make the same actions? As a result, does that also limit what you are actually able to do in the past without changing so much that one of these alternative states is impossible?

If the past doesn't want to be changed, how about the future? Just because we perceive the clock running in one way, doesn't mean that it actually does. I would think that if the past must happen in some specific way, then the present will always occur and so will a specific future. Whilst we claim to experience free-will, we have so far not measured it. I guess this is really the idea that the quantum realm simply consists of hidden variables that are only perceived as 'random', rather than actually having any form of random element.

> 7/ For sure, there are many studies that study variations of surgical methods. That is, they try to find out whether an incision from the left is better or from the right.

> But very few studies try to find out whether the incision does anything at all for the patient. Shocking, but that’s the truth.

Assuming that those studies do not always conclude "neither is better than the other", this implies one or both of these:

1. At least one of the two options is better than the placebo.

2. At least one of the two options is worse than the placebo.

In other words, finding differences in effectiveness of different intervention approaches must mean that either some of these interventions are better than placebo, or that all (except maybe the best one) are measurably worse than performing no surgery at all.

> "the severity of your symptoms does not change the effectiveness of the operation"

I hate the word "effectiveness" because it can mean anything. Effectiveness at what? Measured how? Surely the severity of my symptoms ("my toe hurts" vs "half my leg has been shot off") plays a role in determining whether amputation is an "effective" remedy? Or you could argue that it is equally effective at "removing" the symptom in both cases. But then killing the patient would be peak effectiveness - no more pain at all, guaranteed! It's just pointless to discuss such a thesis - if you talk about "effectiveness", your statements very quickly become unfalsifiable.
The solution is to pull your music off the platforms and charge your own price for it. You will likely find that no one purchases it and you get forgotten because very few people want to pay more for music when there is unlimited music available at a cheaper price.

You can’t force people consume your content and that they pay more for it. There is such a massive supply of music that naturally the cost will be quite low.
I don't understand why that would be more error prone than using list[list.length-1]. It's just list[-1].
Always wanted to ask an academic about this.

Compilers take input source and libraries and maybe some configuration parameters (in C you can pass preprocessor definitions, etc) and produce an output.

No network calls, no conditional file IO - the only side effects that are needed have to be done at the beginning, when you load source files and other libraries.

Why are so many compilers not utilizing more pure functional paradigms? Focusing on transformations of input to output instead of doing side effects. It seems like such a perfect fit.

No "and async." Figures.
I watch a lot of both American-made movies and TV shows as well as a lot of Japanese anime.

One thing I find curious is how different the models for time travel usually are.

In American media, it seems more often than not, time travel is modelled as if the past and the future are simultaneously existing parallel worlds, where the future is affected by the past in "real-time", e.g. Back to the Future's Marty gradually fading as the chances of his birth diminish, or Timeless's people in the future "watching" people arrive in the past and making sure their own team leaves "in time" to catch them.

These models don't really offer a solution to the grandfather paradox.

In anime however, time travel is near universally modelled with timelines, where time travel essentially creates a new parallel world each time. If you travel back in time and kill your grandfather, you simply create a timeline in which you were not born, but can continue to exist, because you are from a timeline where you were born.

I'm by no means suggesting that either model is unique to America/Japan (Rick and Morty for example uses the branching timeline model), I just find it interesting how they differ.
