I've been doing almost nothing but F# for over 7 years, so I need to remember back to some of the things that used to throw me.

The signature never lies. Although I intellectually understood this early on, sometimes when I was in the throws of not understanding code my mind would not understand the signature or somehow would not grasp the important information it was telling me.

When they get a little complex and include generics they can get difficult for humans to parse.

The signature is truth. Stare at it, struggle with it until you get it.

One of the things that attracted me to F# is that every page of code is much more information dense than any language I had previously worked with. While I consider this good, it can also be daunting.
Wait, what??? I have never heard about such a phenomenon.
It's not confusing when you realize the owner of this product has his badge of releasing a "major google product" and probably a bonus. Who cares if it's successful or not, google certainly doesn't seem to care.
Did they actually remove purchased tracks? Or just couldn't stream the same songs? You buy the games on Stadia so the comparison only works if it is the former.
Sounds like their standards are too high. My momma always said for every sock there is a mate.
In regards to org-clock-in specifically I would say that I don’t have to use Emacs.

On a serious note, the main idea is to focus on time tracking (not todos) as in keeping a record of how you spent your time. The other aspect that was important to me is to put the simplicity of the file format first and to be independent from tools (when it comes to writing the data at least).
Is Just Me Or
this post may not be for everyone, so skip it if you are not in the mood for this subject. but I would know what people think.

tech people has gone nuts.
working overtime like if it was OK to do it everyday. no weekends and no resting. many people I know are working 16h per day for months straight.
others work less but keeps studying things for their job and I can't call this rest.

I've been working like 15 years in tech industry by now.

I see many managers now expecting people to be fully prepared in a bleeding edge technology from night to day.
and devs are suckers to believe that they will get promoted for skill and not politics.

hr people wants you to do side projects and they even are asking for week long projects as part of interview.

as said before, it's just slavery with more steps. actually much more effective than slavery, but may be a post for another time.

i don't think about it as a problem of keeping pace, this always have been this way. but doing this extreme stuff has suddenly changed from an extra to an obligation and it is not ok.

being sit for many hours will destroy your prostrate. looking to a screen will get you blind and typing thousands of lines of code and emails per day will get your hands to hurt. what will you be doing after 20 years ?
if you think 20 years is much, remember that you'll probably have to work.
maybe you'll have to do some other kind of exquisite work because AI took a part of your job but you'll need to be working, probably receive less and less.
is this the world we want to build ? (pun intended)

tech people became trained dogs and nobody will tell its wrong because we are the first generation of this era.
In my experience, on most SSDs/NVMEs, the firmware GC destroys performance under a heavy read/write load to the point of being no better than a mechanical HD of yore. Except Samsung and Intel. But Intel SSDs have bricked on me a lot. So now I just use Samsung NVMEs exclusively.
IBM Blockchain Is a Shell of Its Former Self After Revenue Misses, Job Cuts
Huh? Android is OSS. YouTube has never posted a profit.
No tricks, mpv just jumps to the nearest keyframe, which allows near instant skips. If you want to do time-exact skips, you need to skip to the keyframe previous to your target time and then decode normally from there, causing a delay. I presume VLC does the latter by default and can be configured to do the former.
Ah yes, the brand new account coming to swear at people with POVs he doesn't like. You seem like a great person to take advice about tone from.

But the reason to care is the same in both cases: people with good points generally don't need to cover them up in a lot of bonkers language.
The coins with staking rewards do not reward in USD. So no matter if you get paid in USD or the coin, its worth will depend on the exchange rate at the time of payout.
If Google didn't make tons of money with ads through it's search engine, the comoany would IMO already be bankrupt.

It's almost as if Google product development stops a v0.8. Maybe time to have the company run by engineers instead of PhD's.
Ignoring most of this, because you really are just talking about your own assumptions about what other people are thinking, which are nothing to do with me.

However your example:

> You dislike all my examples, try this one "Nobody needs a fossil fuel engine car". Obvious, right? Electrics are available and better in every way (just ask your favorite tesla owner). Telling people they can do fine without FB because you do is a bit like telling them they can do fine without gasoline because you do. Even when technically true for some values of "fine" and "need", it's not useful.

Is interesting for two reasons.

On the one hand, it’s just as bad as your prior ones, because the impact of doing without a car at all will be for many people quite significant in a way that I maintain is simply not the case with Facebook.

I know all kinds of people who have stopped using Facebook and it just hasn’t been a big deal, unlike all the examples you bring up.

On the other hand, I would imagine most people would simply accept that electric cars are a viable alternative to gasoline cars today, and that they will eventually switch to one in the future at some point, even if the economics don’t make sense now, which again makes this analogy just inapplicable to talking about Facebook.

What I take from this is that you are arguing against an amalgam of views you have seen elsewhere and trying to dispel a kind of misunderstanding that is somehow implicit to what you have seen.

I don’t really have anything to do with all that.

What I’m suggesting is that you dispense with these analogies, and simply consider the possibility that people don’t actually need Facebook, and that quitting Facebook wouldn’t actually have much impact for most people. Of course there are exceptions, but that’s not the point.

Being willing to consider this possibility sheds light on Facebook’s own behavior as well as the current situation with regard to what would make things better.

Why would you think it ‘laughable’ that people don’t know their own best interests? That seems to just trivialize a complex issue.

Many of us hold that it is important for society to treat people as though they do, but for the most part that is an ethical assumption that restrains abusive institutions. It’s equally true that most people know that they don’t know their own best interests in many ways, and we all obviously hold many false beliefs about both ourselves and the world. It’s pretty easy to think something is more (or less) important to you than it actually is.

I have. I used Geforce now, stadia, luna. I bought the hardware controllers. I've tried all of these platforms across all different form factors (pcs, laptop, ipads, iphones, android, LG television). I've signed up for individual games, game publisher channels UBISoft+. I invest millions of dollars into companies and my thesis is product driven. All of this is research I conduct myself, for myself. That isn't to say these services have gotten better since I last tested (Geforce i probably tested in November). From what I remember, it was a PC virtual machine with a queue system for availability. It wasn't "magic". Stadia is magic. Luna is somewhere in between.
Yes, and they could "technically" build a scalable instantaneous system with a usable API. What prevents any movement in that direction is the messy interconnected web around it. A blockchain isn't going to help with it even if it's a technologically superior solution (it may not be).
The problems of 2020 weren't rooted in tech, however.
Guessing they're on about incels.

Definitely becoming a major issue now. I think they're generally gross and it's obvious why they're single, but there has to be an underlying reason for the trend.
Personally I think Gwen Fisher's solution of salted cucumbers + sugar + yogurt is a pretty good answer.

I also got a genuine chuckle at the suggestion of a shot of tequila + a shot of tequila + a shot of tequila.
I tried it and was far less impressed. It was a novelty that quickly grew stale playing on my phone, that aspect seemed questionable at best. If I wanted to actually do some gaming on the TV, it was quite inferior to the (now quite old) PS4 Pro. That leaves it in an awkward middle ground. Where I'm both on my laptop, but I also happen to have better input devices handy. Since if I'm going to get up to go fetch a controller or a mouse, I'm just gonna plop in front of the TV anyway.

Travelling would have been an interesting use (although not interesting enough to buy games a second time), but, well, not a great past year for that.
Wait what? I thought spark is designed to work on top of a shared nothing cluster? Have you any resources describing the architecture of databricks specifically?
Am I missing something about crypto lending? Your deposit can't be FDIC insured and if borrowers are defaulting that means your deposit disappears. You can't bailout a crypto bank by printing crypto.

The appreciation of Bitcoin has been so staggering that it also makes getting interest back on your deposits seem rather outdated.
It wasn't scaling "back up". It was a huge spike as evertone refilled cache at the same time.

It's similar to Black Friday spikes Amazon handles themselves.

Second the comment on Ritalin among non-ADHD. Couldn't tell the difference between that and illicit speed on the street. Dry mouth, manic, euphoric.
Russ Cox has a good blog post on this data structure: https://research.swtch.com/tlog

A similar data structure has been proposed as a cryptographic accumulator for the Bitcoin UTXO set: https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/611

Winne the Pooh threatened war unless Taiwan hands over their crown jewel. If they are smart they will ship old process nodes to the mainland so Xi has a PR win and they maintain business as usual
Could you explain how either snippet you quoted translates, to you, into MongoDB calling themselves "the best database"?

For me, they appear to claim to be popular and focused on developer productivity. Those quotes don't seem to show them claiming to be "the best". Like...it's pretty standard "put your best foot forward" sort of high level description and I think it's a bit much to say that they're making some universal claim?
Elon Musk reveals plans to get to Mars by 2026, seven years before NASA
I'm not sure exactly what you're hinting at, but I think you should take a cold, hard look at yourself and the expectations you place on your potential partners. Do you imagine them as actual human beings with their own thoughts, aspirations, preferences, goals? What does such a person have to gain (emotionally / socially) by choosing YOU in particular for a partner?

In all relationships, romantic or not, personality is everything. Do you try to be a positive person, or do you complain every time something doesn't go your way? An attractive personality and some self-confidence can go a long way in making you attractive to others, even if you haven't been particularly advantaged by your genes.

If you're talking about the dynamics around bars, hookups, and dating apps, you know that's not the only way to meet people, right? I think some of the strongest relationships come out of shared interest in a hobby / skill / career. Join hobby groups etc (not with the intention of finding a partner -- that will be weird and creepy -- but remain open to the idea that you might bump into someone along the way that really aligns with you)
There's defiantly not someone for everyone. In China and India there are millions of more men than women and countless articles about the "left over" men.

That's a fair point. I take this as being similar to reading a book on an iPad vs a kindle. Sure I can read a book on an iPad, but a kindle gives me a better "book experience". Streaming games is like reading a book on an iPad. Owning a PC or console is like reading the book on a device that is better suited for the format.
Same experience.
Per doctor, people with adhd don’t find adderall. addicting.

My experience aligns with this. When I take one I feel normal. Like how I should be in society. Unfortunately it causes me vascular inflammation as headaches.

So had to give it up. I use a non stimulant one now. Seems to be helping.

My daughter just started Vyvanse. Report from teachers is that her behavior is dramatically better.
I was directly responding to your claims that (1) the example provided on the page supposedly "does not contain a logical inconsistency" and that (2) there is a "second part" that is making a claim that you believe is in error.

I don't know how responding to your own claims could possibly put me on the wrong side of a distinction between the fallacy itself and the fallacy the page is describing unless you were also on the wrong side of it, too.

I suppose you're saying my response addresses itself to the idea of the fallacy and not to your criticisms of the way it's illustrated on the page - but I find that to be quite obviously wrong, because I am talking about what's on the page. Perhaps there's an argument than I'm not seeing, but you're being too cryptic and difficult to interpret for me to figure out what that argument is supposed to be.
Naked shorts let you create stock out of nothing, which you can sell to drive prices down (and ultimately make money off of, since you can rebuy more cheaply).

If you can’t do that then you at least have to get the cooperation of someone who does own the stock in sufficient quantities - and their interests are probably against yours since they, y’know, own the stock.

Banning recursive shorting would be a nightmarish enterprise, since each individual share would need to be tracked to see if it was already shorted. Banning naked shorts supposedly does enough to discourage the behavior. We may be seeing that to not be the case.
I don't know if the LW15 has a different mechanism than the LW45, but it shouldn't be difficult to clean. The entire machine literally comes apart (https://youtu.be/-f2FAI70BSk?t=154), leaving only plastic pieces that can be hosed down.
If you surveyed people on what features were missing from Gemini and got 10,000 responses how many people do you think would mention "semantic tags for when the language switches mid document" and at what priority when mentioned? Now the same for the top item on the list? Now pick 5 random responses only mentioned once, do you think there is one that could theoretically be used by a large percentage of the population if implemented but even if you had thrown it in the survey itself but still wouldn't have been selected by many people or as a high priority?

I.e. it's not enough for something to be possibly usable by a large portion of people - the userbase have to actually be interested in utilizing it and consider it more important than other things instead. I strongly think if you follow this logic you'll find it's a very niche group that cares this deeply about the semantic language tags. Maybe you truly strongly don't and consider it something everyone would love if only it was there.
Polygyny was not restricted to Islamic societies though, and was a common occurence accross many societies. It was always restricted to a limited amount of men of course, as only the most successful/powerful/whatever could afford it.
It does have heavy social consequences, but those might or might not be an issue for a given society, as some were quite successful (ie surviving for a long time, no moral judgement here).
I like how they say "no earlier than the forth quarter" in their announcement. Though it may not inspire confidence in a deliverable date, I might start trying to use the turn of phrase at my work.
I have ADHD, and I use Modafinil or Armodafinil at low doses (50+50mg or 75mg, respectively).

It does not make "high" in any sense. It does not create dependency (unlike, say, coffee). If I don't take it (and I often don't), there are no negative effects, just a lack of the positive.

Metylofenidat helps me a bit, but it gives "deadline-like focus". Focus, but rush, with increased anxiety.

(Ar)modafinil gives sniper-like focus. Decreased anxiety and emotional reactiveness, while still maintaining full emotional clarity. Non-deadline flow.

The first time I took Modafinil, I didn't feel like "on drugs". I felt the opposite - for the first time distractions (like checking FB every a few minutes) were not dopamine hits I craved. I understood a lot about "other people" and things people kept telling me for two decades. It seems that being less distractible was an everyday experience.

The only downside I saw is that it needs to be taken well before bedtime (as in: morning, noon) and that it makes one way less social (immunity to jokes, increased sensory sensitivity, "OK, but what's your point" approach to conversations, etc).

They were severely exacerbated by tech. Let's argue about it and prove my point.
Is Cyberpunk better on a PC or better on Stadia? I've heard it's the best to play on Stadia.
If you struggle because you never learned proper habits growing up due to inattentive type ADD, then you need to relearn these life skills and the stim meds give you the ability to focus on bettering yourself. Therapy provides a professionally guided framework for teaching you these life skills faster than on your own.

Things worked exactly as they should. People always work themselves up about short term news.
"The Inspiration4 crew will receive commercial astronaut training by SpaceX on the Falcon 9 launch vehicle and Dragon spacecraft, orbital mechanics, operating in microgravity, zero gravity, and other forms of stress testing.

Good benchmark suite, but missing two big PCIe 4 SSD contenders: the WD Black SN850 and the Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus!
Good find. So sure, the lifespan is distributed down there, but surely there are some longer-lived services that benefit from JIT. I think most times you're spinning up a container + a JVM for what is effectively a function invocation you are maybe sad about paying the startup time for the JVM. Use Graal, or a different language?
New Documents Suggest J. Edgar Hoover Was Involved in Fred Hampton’s Murder
GeForce Now has a much worse UX than Stadia and lags a lot on my iPad compared to Stadia

But having your entire Steam library is very cool
Not strictly related, but longbets.org promotes a similar idea. Most famously, it played host to the "million-dollar bet" between Warren Buffet and Protege Partners that the S&P 500 would outperform a portfolio. I believe this bet was made a year before it was established, however.
Actually, yes. I am a professional investor with a product-driven thesis. Sub-reddits are one of the most honest, representative samples for the quality and love for a product by the market. I bet millions on this.
Journey to Savage Planet is neither first party nor exclusive. It has Switch and PS4 ports. You'd be on the mark for Outcasters though.
Thanks for the bug report! I never tested to scroll on mobile. Fixed!
Your comment would be stronger if it held back the psychological projection of an internet stranger. Ie it reveals more about you than about them or the topic.
Wow, that's embarrassing! Fixed
Latency is important as you say, and I would say that it's highly variable depending on the router and ISP you have. This Google mesh WiFi update made a huge difference for me: https://support.google.com/wifi/answer/10087384 and it was only made last September.

Connection speeds have improved since Stadia launched, but you will almost certainly go through a 1TB cap before the month is over if you have 2 TVs streaming 4K. This is really the main reason people considering Stadia might still say no, and there aren't a lot of ISPs left without caps: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/08/at-le... People could just pay an extra ~$30/month for unlimited internet, but that will pay for a console in a year or two.

Dystopian. At least the official inflation metric is low.
Our Honeywell humidifier has been working perfectly for years. One trick I haven't seen mentioned here is filling the tank exclusively with RO (reverse-osmosis) water. This keeps the mineral deposits down to piratically nothing, meaning that things (pet hair, dust, etc.) don't really stick to the fan blades. After each winter season I spray the fan with compressed air and throw the filter away. We usually go through two filters per winter season.
