The physical realization is the number of postsynaptic receptors. In terms of fast excitatory transmission it is the quantity of AMPA receptors. You can potentiate or depress synapses by controlling the amount of these receptors. This has been demonstrated in vivo, and in cell culture. We are at the point where we can manipulate the strength of individual synapses.

Sorry to interrupt your soapbox, but the law passed with the 7/8 supermajority clause was Prop 22 - which was loudly and explicitly opposed by the unions "who control California" and who supported the original AB5 law that it superseded.
Conda's a good replacement for the whole pip/pyenv/venv/stuff-that-isnt-technically-python-that-gets-hacked-in-with-setup.py mess, but, if you're publishing packages, pipenv and poetry go a step further to help with building those as well.
Hmmm... I've always found tideverse syntax inelegant. Data.table syntax does more with fewer different words. But it can get a bit convoluted. Any ways: there are different ways to solveing problems and writing code. Should we not encourage this? Otherwise it's just cargo cult again and again.

How to Peer Through a Wormhole (2019)
I think it is clear that the public cares about privacy but only when they are fully educated about what a given platform is doing. The public is not reading the privacy policies, or looking at the app permissions or do anything really to educate themselves on all the ways Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc are abusing their data

But if a high profile news story comes out about some privacy issue they are outraged about it.

This shows a education / knowledge gap, I dont know how to close it, or if it can even be closed but to say "no one cares about privacy" I believe is false

nvPY: Simple Note Taking Application
hello fellow troll
Blockchain solves trust censorship and control. We dont see problems in the US that need those solutions because our institutions are trustworthy and strong. However we literally just had a month where the president was deplatformed, a social network was deplatformed, Robinhood blocked participation in the markets and as always the Fed / Treasury are printing massive amounts of money. I think Americans are going to start valuing trustless systems a lot more after all of that.
Ask HN: How do you set and reinforce boundaries with your employer?
After coming out of a recent bout of burnout, I'm realizing it
would've been easier if I was able to push back against unreasonable
requests on my time. I work for a small consultancy, so they often
need new sets of skills and their clients often care only about
time-to-market.

Come to think of it, this has been true of most companies I've worked
at. They talk a good game about best practices, agile, tooling,
training, whatever... but when push comes to shove they'd rather have
3 more stories than honor previous commitments to regular tech debt
stories, training, or even 40h weeks. They often can't even "waterfall" 2w of work without changing scope or priorities mid-sprint, and get mad when you bring it up/try to improve the system.

I'm tired of the same promises, but have also enabled this behavior--
I don't feel like I can say no. At my next company I'd like to gain
their trust, but also set expectations and boundaries up front so I
can have a life outside of work. I'd also like to push back against
overtime or using my own time to brush up on some tech that they need
because they were unable to plan properly (without sounding like a
know-it-all). I'd like a two-way street.

*How can I achieve this while still gaining trust?* Are there good
questions to ask or flags to look for in interviews?

On a related note: I've heard govt jobs are a good place to have a 9-5
and a life outside of work, but worry about outdated tech draining my
energy (I'd be happy to have the time for hobby projects, but can lack
the energy if work is hours and hours of mind-numbing stuff).
The key part which you missed is that everything is automated, always installed in an isolated virtual environment, the package are automatically tracked and updated, and the tools which make this happen are installed from Homebrew and update at the same time.

As to why there are two tools, it's because they have separate goals: pipx provides a robust way to manage global installs of Python utilities in per-tool virtualenvs while tools like poetry or pipenv are aimed at projects you're developing and handle things like automating the process of installing updates & updating the corresponding metadata files so you can ship clean updates. All of them use virtualenvs and pip underneath — it's just a modern workflow.

The key part is recognizing that the problem comes from trying to fight updates: software changes and accepting that means moving to a workflow which automates that rather than spending time trying to freeze everything in amber. Learning to use a tool every decade or so is a LOT less time consuming than doing this by hand. The average poster in this thread has already spent more time on this topic than my projects have needed for the mechanics of installing Python packages in any given year.

I think the answer to this is to keep the circles, but don’t make people curate the members of each circle.

Instead, have a system where you can categorize your posts and other people can explicitly opt-in or opt-out to following particular categories.

That way, you can do a series of detailed posts on Orson Welles (say) for interested parties without worrying about whether you’ll bore or scare off the rest of your friends.

Essential Bug Tracking and Testing Tools for Developers

The scammers need to iterate to discover the loopholes, learn how to best exploit them, and to adjust when the platform they are exploiting closes a loophole.

A cost per app release drives a stake into the general approach. It doesn’t stop scammers but makes it much harder to do on a larger scale.

Meanwhile, legit developers spend hundreds or thousands or more hours on a good app. $100 in the first world just isn’t that much. At the very least the opportunity cost (e.g., the money that could’ve have been made if the time had been spent in a more convention job) easily dwarfs the amount. In lower-income places, then a commensurate amount makes sense.
I have only been using ios for a few months but I have noticed the App Store is full of so much crap. Coming from Android with FDroid installed it was easy to find free utilities that may have been basic but they were reliable and ad free. Now on the app store the first 100 results is paid or ad filled.

I wanted to find a QR code scanner the other day so I could debug the qr codes I was generating and the first app on the store was asking me to sign up for a subscription before I could start scanning codes. Who is paying a subscription to scan qr codes??
Maybe it's my social bubble of working in tech and so on, but it seems like the left dominate the outrage more these days. Certainly social media and mainstream media is heavily left-leaning. It's obvious to me which side you have to be careful about saying you support at work. It's obvious which side will attract more downvotes on Reddit and even Hacker News. Perhaps that'll change now that Biden is in the White House, though I doubt it.

This post got me into looking up what Google's privacy sandbox actually is. One proposal I found quite interesting was TURTLEDOVE, which proposes to move ad bidding onto the user device [1]. The current proposal of course uses bidding logic delivered by the ad seller. However, if this were to gain wide adoption, the step to imposing user control over bidding gets a bit smaller.

Imagine being able to tell advertisers "ok I'll look at any ad that pays me at least 50 cents" (~100X the typical price of an impression currently). If anyone wants to show you an ad at that price you know they think its going to be relevant. That's the kind of targeting I could get behind.

No chance that would actually happen though.

> It is not free will in the sense that you can spontaneously decide it for yourself.

If "spontaneously" means "outside of the laws of physics", then of course I agree. I just don't think that kind of "free will" is the only possible kind of free will, nor do I think that impossible kind of free will is the kind of free will that matters.

> I can choose to eat vanilla yogurt or plain yogurt. That is the narrative my brain hallucinates. The reality behind the illusion is that the choice was made before I even am aware of the "story I tell myself" that I chose one or the other.

Of course this is true in the sense that, as far as we can tell, the brain process of you being aware of your choice happens either at the same time as, or after, the brain process that makes your choice. But so what? All those processes are still happening in your brain.

Compare what you just described with this scenario: you want vanilla yogurt, but I force you to have plain yogurt instead because I believe it's healthier for you. Here there are still processes happening in your brain, which, if I weren't there, might well have led to you eating vanilla yogurt--but because I am there and I force you to eat plain yogurt, your brain processes do not determine what kind of yogurt you eat--instead, my brain processes do.

Do you see any meaningful difference between those scenarios? I sure do. (And note that I think that difference is meaningful even if it is true that the plain yogurt would be healthier.) If you don't, then we have a fundamental disagreement that I don't think any discussion can resolve.

C++ with vcpkg is a bliss to work with. Depending on which triplet you configure, it can build either static or dynamic libraries.

And CMake will take care of transitive dependencies for static libraries for you. Just declare it as a PUBLIC link dependency and all downstream projects will link against it automatically.

What the article fails to mention is that dynamic libraries can also be an attack vector. Users can replace a .so with a variant that does something you don't expect. For statically linked apps, it is much easier to ensure your code has not been tampered with.

Also, the CMake integration in CLion is great. "How did things get this bad?" What are you talking about? It's a great time to be a C++ programmer! The tools are finally stable and powerful (and not either MSVC or ICC) and there's lots of good libraries to choose from.
If you’re interested in quantitative economics, I would highly recommend the “Metrics Mondays” series of blog posts by Prof. Marc Bellemare:

(Full disclosure, I do but I was also not inconvenienced much.)

As it stands currently, I note that interventions in Australia are much faster now.

Our stand down position was we had to wear masks to the supermarket and on public transport. Everywhere else was pretty close to normal.

But one case detected yesterday in our 4 million population city, means we all wearing masks whenever we're indoors today.

That one case has flicked that switch overnight. So it seems that the main thing is to test well and react quickly.

I agree that Xorg has issues, I disagree that Wayland was the best solution. Creating a protocol that specifies a subset of the features and then taking mroe then 10 years to get decent implementations for the subsets and then still having no unique answer on how to do global keyboard shortcuts and that pathetic delay until we got some kind of screenshot and screen recording solution...

If RH were actually competent would have had a roadmap and Xorg would be replaced with some Wayland implementation only when all X featues are ready. Until then RH can label it as Beta.

I don't like how you propose this unfinished stuff is pushed on users so maybe someone would get frustrated enough and make RH job, like WTF RH has tons of money, they could fins competent people to implement the missing stuff 10 years ago, and while at it they could have fucking fixed GTK or maybe buy Qt and the dev team .

My pet theory regarding why DFV held onto many of his shares so long is that he's trying to avoid SEC scrutiny. I don't believe he intended to create a bubble, but profiting from it too much might lead to legal action.

In other words you're saying that "software architect" exists as a role in these organizations because bad organizational structures create problems that it is a band-aid for.

And I'm saying that the band-aid doesn't work that well, and you do better if you fix the organizational structure to not need it. And furthermore, as a developer, those organizations are no fun to be in and you can't pay me enough to want to deal with them. Particularly not when I have the option of finding better organizations to be in.

Which adds to the problem. When good developers choose not to be in your company because your company is a disaster for developers, you don't get good developers. Which reinforces the idea that developers aren't that good, and causes them to try to put guard-rails around developers to prevent the problems that bad ones cause. Thereby creating a negative reinforcement cycle.

This boggles my mind about initiatives in California. In other states with popular initiatives, the People pass laws on the same footing as the Legislature; they just do so through the ballot box. The elected Legislature still has the authority to modify those same laws (though most states require a "cooling off" period of a year or two before a passed initiative can be modified, and even then a supermajority in the Legislature can still do it).

A popular initiative being sacrosanct and inviolable absent a second initiative seems wrong to me. Why does a populist law get to stand more firm than one passed by the elected representatives of the people?
