> we are now expected to be up to date with online trolling operations so that we can selfcensor to avoid being fired?

It appears that you have to basically follow the online outrage crowd to be up to date with what's considered offensive this week. It's not just online trolling. For example, Amy Coney Barrett was attacked for using words "sexual preference" and Merriam-Webster dictionary changed the definition of the word to be offensive in order to justify the attacks after the fact.

is it "more than a feelaaan" - boston https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4QK8RxCAwo

"How can it happen that a physical creature comes to have this mysterious, magical stuff called consciousness? You reduce it down to something much more biological, like basic feelings, and then you start building up the complexities. A first step in that direction is “I feel.” Then comes the question, What is the cause of this feeling? What is this feeling about? And then you have the beginnings of cognition. “I feel like this about that.” So feeling gets extended onto perception and other cognitive representations of the organism in the world."

Seems to me like:

consciousness = a feeling or narrative of 'feelings', which arises out of a function that takes in all perception.
That sounds like something you wish is true, not a reality. I can't think of a project left to rot that got notable bad press, but I can think of tons of cancelled ones that left sour tastes in people's mouths. From a brand perspective, rot is 100% the right call.
Knowing this will we create incentives for more grocery stores to exist in food deserts? Probably not. From what I've read that will have more of a positive public health impact than most initiatives.

On top of that, you don't want them complaining that they cannot easily stop the service in online forums nor to their co-workers.

The right to information on how to cancel is in UK law.
Yup! We've always had it have no plans on changing that.
I think the premise of it is awesome, but it can only be wrong. I'd like some data that proves that the retail investors of your platform end up beating S&P for a start.

Companies themselves struggle to even understand their own balance sheet.

There are plenty of services which offer aggregated data about balance sheets with typical market formulas.

Basically there's a huge industry of sell side analysts that often create huge reports about a company, or something that is going wrong etc. It isn't really possible to distill all this information in an 'bite-sized format', as there are many variables and even some outside factors like macroeconomics and so on. Sometimes, even something that isn't shown Today in the balance sheet end up making a company over time shrink until it's gone.

Wouldn't this actually create the fake perception that they are well informed before getting into a business?

What if I sign up and end up seeing that my market performance by using the Apps advice is trash? What if I end up investing in a company full of intangibles that find out that those intangibles are worth nothing?

If you even go to a hedge fund you might find out that most of the analysts suck, and they study their whole life for it and often have degrees in very respectable universities, while breathing all the 'financial jargons' you wrote. So, can an amateur really read a few sentences and make good investments and at least beat an index?

All this without reading a book about investment or understanding a balance sheet. :-)

Of course it is. Name any socialist policy that does not work towards that goal. Any policy that is not a constraint on freedom.

The motivating force behind socialism is envy. Nobody is allowed to have something that somebody else doesn't have.

Good intentions (like free healthcare or basic income or rent controls) don't prevent the inevitable outcome.

Ultimately Socialism wants to do with individual property and have everybody work for the common good, not for their personal gain. It is extremely anti-freedom, and of course anti-wealth.

But by definition the miners collectively have 100% of the mining power. Miners as a group have converging interests, which doesn't align with users' interest. Remember, bitcoin ain't really a cryptographic money (there's little crypto involved, not much more than when using PGP signed-commits in git) but more of a game-theory money, and as such it's extremely important to maintain a balance of power between miners and users.

It galls me every time I see “neuroscientists”/“neuropsychologists” and the like considering themselves to have essentially discovered the problem of mind-brain duality, fundamental questions about what consciousness is, and so forth, as if philosophers haven’t been carefully studying these topics for hundreds and in some cases thousands of years—and as if many were not continuing to study it in philosophy departments to this day.

This guy for instance seems not to have read much or any philosophy. The interviewer appropriately poses question regarding Searle and Chalmers, but from his answers he doesn’t seem familiar with these quite important thinkers.

I’m genuinely confused—what is it that makes someone who calls themselves a scientist want to avoid having their lit reviews include writings categorized as philosophy?
I know one place where they were forced to add a cookie popup as part of a GDPR compliance tickbox exercise. The kicker? They didn't have any cookies. After a fruitless attempt to persuade the person working through the aforementioned exercise that you only need a cookie popup if you have cookies, the popup was implemented.

Of course you need to store the user's preference. So now the site needed to have a cookie. One cookie which just stores the fact that the user has or hasn't consented to cookies.
Funny, I've been repeating around "Consciousness is just a feeling" for a while. My question is also "why has it evolved at all" ? Keep reading for a hint.

Hunger, for example, is just a feeling.
Thirstiness is just a feeling.
But we don't build complex theories of the world around Thirstiness. Somehow we do with Consciousness, because I suspect it tricks us, playing recursively with our thinking.

Consciousness, which nobody really ever defines clearly, it's probably just a name around a bunch of feelings we have.

It's clear why Thirstiness has evolved: to get us to find water. Not salty one.

Probably Consciousness does something like that. For example, it might be just a feeling of oneness to keep us intact, across peripherals (legs, arms) and time (now is really a continuation or whatever we were doing before, you need a feeling to enforce that).
Softbank made an interesting playbook. They made a bet that given their fund size (magnitude order larger then VC funding at the time) they could find large scale opportunities fund those companies and outlast longer and out muscle the competition based largely on size of capital alone. I.e. hold on to losses before the competitors ran out of gas and then take market share. As a result competition has had to up the amount of funding sizes so that they can compete with Softbank investments or risk not being able to keep marketshare.

Also creates some really perverse incentives in that you can sustain an unsustainable business model much longer driving out other businesses/competition at the same time then VC traditional could. It is a pretty big bet and has lots of capital in the mix - founder of Softbank has a history of high risk bets (not always going well either I would add).

BigInt landed in ES2020 and has been supported in something like the last 10-20 versions of Chrome and Firefox, so no huge worries about using it (the "current" browser without support is IE11).

I at least agree with this! It’s a big shame that the major mobile OS platforms bless only one or two languages for targeting their devices, and are at best neutral, at worst hostile to developing in other languages.
I so appreciate your call out of the loss of the Macromedia ecosystem. The tools they created not only revolutionized the web but in terms of the “creators experience” we have yet to see the parallel of Flash. It makes me sad to think that rather than let the stronger parts of the Macromedia dna infuse Adobe, it seems like Adobe forced Macromedia fit into its larger, which in certain areas has been an as yet unreplaceable loss for creatives.

I find it... intriguing that reddit have chosen to update their "legacy" website with this feature. Not very legacy?
I think they were right on the target market. It used to be a, perhaps, top five editor, especially for people doing front-end development. VS Code just came in and changed everything.

Towards a Domain-Extensible Compiler [pdf]
It strongly depends on what the company does.

When I used to work for Heroku, they hired experts on specific languages for two reasons:

1) to maintain legacy systems written in esoteric languages (e.g. Erlang)

2) to maintain programming language runtimes for that language.

The first reason I was less happy with, but the second makes total sense. If part of the core product depends on a specific language (e.g. running others' code, performance consulting) I think it's actually better that you hire experts.

The only other reason that doesn't bother me is early stage companies or companies that operate in very specialized disciplines who know what their tech stack is and want people to be able to contribute as immediately as possible. In that case hiring a language/stack specialist makes sense, e.g. hiring a Unity engineer at a game studio or a Python/Typescript full stack engineer for a startup with four people whose stack is Python and Typescript.

On the other hand, if a mature company with a deep hiring pipeline is freaking out about you not knowing their exact stack, they can go fly a kite.
Decent interview, but surprised no mention or allusion to the hard problem[1]—saying consciousness is "just a feeling" doesn't do much to chip away at the core issue.

By now, this is no longer "quite new". A recent C++ community survey suggests that under 10% of developers currently use C++98/C++03 the most. Naturally this is not a valid sample of the whole userbase, but it's a good indication.

Also, in 2005 IIANM, Google published their dense and sparse hash map implementations, which were fast-ish and quite usable.

I've always wondered why that checkbox is even there. Why are they even the same search box to begin with? If I go to a particular YouTube channel, there is a global search box at the top and a channel-specific search box a under the channel banner. That's a much more intuitive layout IMO.

VS Code is not as open source as you might think. A lot of critical functionality is in plugins that aren't FOSS, such as the Python plugin and the Remote plugins (Container, SSH, etc.). I think you're also not able to (or not supposed to? unsure) access the official plugin directory with an open source build.

I definitely appreciate that the core is open source, but using the open source version is less fun than it sounds. You really want to use the freeware proprietary VS Code to get a good experience.

If we're going to be using a proprietary text editor anyways, then I wish Sublime Text and its community were still as active as they used to be.
