Talking pasta shapes you can't get around Legendre's seminal Pasta by Design. It is the reference book when it comes to the mathematical analysis of your favourite noodle form.

https://www.amazon.com/Pasta-Design-George-L-Legendre/dp/050...

It even has the invention of a new (back then) pasta shape.
Here is what the New York Times has to say about it:

"Mr. Legendre has even designed a new shape — ioli, named for his baby daughter — which looks like a spiral wrapped around itself, a tubelike Möbius strip."

It says a lot about you that you recognize that this is a skill that you need to work on and is worth working on.

It is completely normal that you see yourself being sympathetic by creating solutions, when people are asking you for empathy.

I'm writing a book aimed at developers on building empathy and applying it to business, called Deploying Empathy [1]. I'm writing it in public as a newsletter. I'm detailing specific actions you can take in conversations and customer interviews to build empathy.

One of the things about listening to people is that the more you do it, the more empathetic you become as a person. It takes practice, but I promise you will get there.

One of my own favorite books on this is Practical Empathy by Indi Young.

Self-empathy is also an important step, and if you find you don't have the tools to show empathy in conversations, there's a good chance this is a skill you weren't taught growing up. For that, therapy is invaluable.

He was always like that, which is why he did two internships in one summer and dropped out of Stanford to founded Zip2. He slept in the office. They had one computer, so it ran the service during the day and he used it as a dev machine through the night. Some people, that's just the way they are.
Ghana has superiority regarding quantity, however historically the quality has been low. This is changing due to US startups cooperating with growers in Ghana and elsewhere to improve the quality, as well as use less exploitative labor, as there is a lack of quality fair trade cacao.

Looking at the research paper, this is in figure 2 https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/634158/fnbeh-15-6... People that take hand notes was better than people that used a tablet, but no better than people that used a phone. That's weird, and looks like a fluke.

> However, researchers say that the brain activation data revealed significant differences.

This is in figure 4 https://www.frontiersin.org/files/Articles/634158/fnbeh-15-6... The data is too noisy, and the intervals almost overlap. I doubt some will be able to reproduce this.
AI is just a tool like Excel and not a panacea. It might create some efficiencies but it is not a short cut to the real grind and the too often overlooked serendipity involved.

Serendipity plays such a big role in many “discoveries” but we don’t want to ascribe too much to it because it is just potluck by brute forcing OTHER problems.

Perhaps serendipity should be rephrased as “no method to our madness”.

> But people wanting 5" phones are apparently in a minority.

Let alone 4" phones! I'm still happy with my original SE, but the nuisances are starting to add up. I really prefer TouchID to FaceID and still use my headphone jack, so there's nothing in Apple's current lineup for me.

Fingers crossed that the rumors are right about the return of TouchID and the rumors are wrong about the mini being discontinued. If they finally dump Lightning in favor of USB-C, that'd solve my headphone jack dilemma as I could just use USB-C headphones on all devices. I'm not optimistic that all of this will come together before Apple discontinues support of the original SE, though.
Check out the documentary "Running Wild".

Cats are part of the problem, including camels, foxes, horses and other invasive species. They went through a lot of trouble to hunt down cats and contain them. Cats wreck native animal populations. They went so far as to fence off areas and train labrador dogs so that they don't hunt native predators such as the (tiny) marsupial "badgers".
What was the original point?
See the hole in your argument is that not all Black people experienced slavery.

Southern Black people were the only ones in America that did.

Then if you expand that definition globally...the number of total black people experiencing slavery from white people during that time, was actually the very small.

It's like saying all White People share a culture because the Irish had a hard time during British or American repression.

Your using one definition to support your argument but then saying that definition also doesn't apply to other groups.

I custom compiled a kernel to support userland chroot a number of years ago; it was trivial. It served the use case just fine.

There are probably people today who run things in Docker containers as root who are thinking "OMG, this is a horrible idea!".

In the chroot environments I created at the time everything was statically linked and there was nothing else for the program(s) to run. Everything was audited. It didn't start with "it works on my machine, so why can't I ship my machine?" as a premise.
I'm not going to advocate, even in the most general sense possible, for a practice that I'm not particularly knowledgeable of.

However, you literally said "and physical anguish". Patients being sedated (and given muscle relaxants in order to avoid the patients hurting themselves while under anaesthesia) would address that. GP pointed that out.

Nobody will be able to say that there have never been any cases where the patient was awake, even when administered general anaesthetics, but if the anaesthesia for some reason fails, that would not be the doctors knowingly inflicting anguish.

If ECT were (still) done without anaesthesia nowadays, you'd be right, but my limited understanding is that it isn't. If your understanding is different, by all means share it, but the sarcastic "no cases ever, right?" rhetoric isn't really an argument.

The story of patients trying to run away definitely sounds like an involuntary application of the treatment, which certainly seems inhumane in all but perhaps the most extreme of cases. But the story was from the 1970's. Are the present day practices of administering ECT still the same? If not, present day use should not be judged based on that.

I agree that side effects such as memory loss sound scary and severe, and should be taken seriously. Maybe they aren't given enough consideration. I can't really judge that since I don't know the circumstances that lead to ECT being considered.

All in all, it's obviously an emotional topic, but I don't think the way you responded to GP was really fair.
By learning about EQ. I recommend picking up the book “Emotional Intelligence 2.0,” taking the assessment, read it, and focus on areas you can improve.

In my understanding - "are right a lot" is a retrospective thing - it's asking whether the leader's past instincts and decisions had lead to good things. It's not measuring how many meetings you walk out of having gotten your way.

For example, if a leader had an idea X,and Bob talked him into idea Y which worked out, then the leader was still 'right' because listening to Bob was the right thing.
Without even debating the pertinence and aggressiveness of this article's title, some of these examples are just ridiculous.

Negative space is good. It's good for readability and accessibility. Nowadays, most apps are designed to be scrollable, which means that cramping as much information as possible is probably not helpful.

Google maps is about the results list, not the map.

Other comments are just straight opinions about what he likes ("too much padding there and there"). Okay? That's just prescriptive feedback and don't bring anything valuable to the conversation.

It's also interesting to see that people in this thread have many design opinions, and almost systematically someone has the opposite feeling in their replies. It's proof that design is not just following a guideline. It's about choices, trade-offs and context.
White is a complicated term. Definitely before the 1920s, it wasn’t necessarily European, because it excluded, for example, non-Protestants like the Irish, Italians, and Russians.
"That sucks" may be intended as empathetic, but usually comes off as callous.

You might try the combination of [name the feeling] + [broad question], like:

"That sounds frustrating. What have you tried to solve that?"

or ismply stating the feeling and letting them move towards solution ideas after their feeling has been established, like:

"It sounds like this is taking a lot of energy from you."

(wait, let them reply)

"Can you tell me what you're working through to try to fix this?"
If you won't lose scholarships or your seat, you can take a gap semester or year and return later. Most programs do have a time limit but full time students taking one gap year will likely be fine. There's a lot of valuable things you can do during a gap year to keep your career progressing such as (paid) internships, projects, other educational pursuits, or volunteering.

But don't get expelled! That will tarnish your academic record and the credits won't transfer.
Or at least ffwd 2x 3x like YouTube does, this would be easier to implement.
I was just thinking about this I think you're right. Such small differences in phrasing can have a big difference.

I think a great response would be "That sucks, do you THINK if you spoke to them something would change?" Rather than "have you tried to speak to them?"

The first is a question, that will prompt them to think and then maybe act. The second is a question that is a little accusatory (you should have already spoken to them about it)

Conversation is hard!
Grew up in West Germany when the Demoscene was at it's height, but never heard of "pink PLK cards". Could you give a hint what that is?

EDIT: Found it "Postlagerkarte"[1], I have heard that term before, but never was aware what it was. It feels strange that at a time you could do things easily, legally and anonymously, all at the same time. As a minor, at that. Let alone anonymously sending things to strangers. Admittedly I miss that world more than the Demoscene.

For forEach that's easy:

for el in values:
if el == 3: return
do_something_with( el )

For the other two, you still can, but you'll need to handle the control flow yourself, by doing something like goto or invoking a continuation.
That is good advice though saying "I am sorry to hear that", seems a little shallow.

Clicked through to see the comments and ... the amount of pushback in the comments is very weird. All this is saying is "you should make sure that people want something before you build it" and the replies seem to be "how DARE anyone else affect what I build", from a bunch of adult children that think they are solitary geniuses. Every single person mad at the idea that building consensus is an important process is annoying to work with, full stop.

> i thought one of his tech decisions was bad (and in reality it was politically motivated to force people out.)

Let’s say you were right: It was a bad technical decision and it was politically motivated. What outcome can you expect from arguing with him on technical grounds? He knows what you’re saying is right, but he already knew that before making the decision. What you need to do is convince him not to act in bad faith. Try to figure out how to do that, and acknowledge if it’s not feasible.

Not to call you out in particular, but I see this as a common mistake by people arriving in a big company. Things are not as you wish, everything is too complicated, motivations are subtle and usually hidden. The trick is to get past frustration that reality does not match your mental model. (People aren’t being honest! How can I even work with people who don’t tell the truth!?) Abandon your mental model, acknowledge reality for what it is, choose goals that are achievable, choose actions that make progress toward your goals.

Apply your existing analysis skills. Build a mental model of a person as you would with a device. Your growing understanding of a device is a kind of empathy, enabling you to live with it in greater harmony. We organic devices are just more of the same. Given the low computational threshold for the emergence of complex behavior, heuristics are frequently conserved between software and wetware. Many people will respond positively to the same degree of attention and care you give to your code editor configuration.

PLK = "PostLagerKarte", literally "mail storage card". It was (abolished 1991) a way to receive letters anonymously; like a P.O. box without your name attached to it. The [Wikipedia page](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postlagerkarte) even explicitly mentions its "illegal usage in the computing scene", so GP was likely referring to his friend using their P.O. box for (illegally) cracked software.

Here's a shot at translating that Wikipedia paragraph:

> Until their abolition, PLK cards were especially popular in the cracker scene because, compared to a regular P.O. box, no personal data had to be shared with the respective post office. PLKs were primarily used for anonymous sending and receiving of pirated software on floppy disks. [citation needed imho] The PLK addresses themselves were often listed digitally in the cracktros.

I know less about founders in computer tech but yes, many founders in biotechs that I know have just had a few years of experience in labs, not really successful scientifically, even if they know how to market it. And thats far from enough to really understand the nooks and crannies of drug discovery projects. Especially since most academic labs are only doing a really thin slice of the whole process. There is a reason why you dont give millions of dollars to a postdoc that submit their first grant proposal, why we do that to postdocs that are founding biotechs is beyond my understanding. The products I've seen from companies that raised $5mil are not worth 1/10 of that, and thats just in dev costs, their stuff could not even scale so they are trying to survive until the big prey comes and swallow them before anybody notices its all smoke and mirrors.

Yes, it can, because without side effects, forEach is a NOP. That's not difficult to implement. As long as you don't do anything with the return value from map, you're there.
If you base your product on locked in services you are at the mercy of those services. Once you scale you will no longer afford to use AWS and have to colocate your own hardware, along with entirely reimplementing your stack to use open source software. Not every startup is a billion "forever" funded project like Imgur or Twitter that can throw money in a hole and not care. Lots of smaller companies are coming to terms with having to shun away cloud services and rely on "the old ways", because it's the only affordable and scalable option.

AWS is for privledged companies playing with silicon valley monopoly money based on made up "evaluations", most people don't have that benefit.

Depending on your personal situation you might want to seek professional help. But here are some ideas to get you started:

Practice making eye contact especially when someone is opening up about their feelings. Then say things that show you know how they feel. Human brains can mirror feelings, like pain, from another humans [0]. So, to empathize with someone you need to get on their level emotionally and really feel how they are feeling.
