I think the bigger issue with that statement is it reinforces the idea that mental issues are somehow meaningfully different than physical ones, and it's vindicating to identify a physical issue when a mental one was expected. IMO mental issues are pretty much just physical issues that we don't have even the slightest understanding of yet.

Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are one of the more fascinating examples of this, because there is a direct parallel to epileptic seizures. Aside from the fact it's not uncommon for people with epilepsy to be initially misdiagnosed as PNES (and vice versa), it's interesting what a stigma there is against PNES. The seizure-like behavior those patients display is completely beyond their control, yet it's often treated in a dismissive fashion such as "it's all in your head".

PNES is often overlooked in medical research, so most of the literature focuses on psychological explanations like childhood trauma. Trauma can certainly be a risk factor, but that is also how disorders like Schizophrenia were talked about way back in the day, and now we are at least starting to have some more physical explanations. I'm usually the last person to harp on women's issues, but I'll note PNES diagnosis is overwhelmingly female. Feels like we still have a long way to go from the days of "female hysteria".

If anyone wants to read a good memoir about dealing with epilepsy check out "A Mind Unraveled" by Kurt Eichenwald. At one point a neurologist tries to override his original diagnosis of epilepsy as actually being psychological in nature, but there are a number of other infuriating moments in that book.
That's quite a different matter. Free speech protections are not a "get out of punishment for all other misbehavior" totem.
So I really enjoy the spatial paradigm with Muse. It feels like a digital whiteboard - I can paste images, resize them, throw them around, and ink over them, which makes it great for thinking. Compare this to Apple Notes, where each note acts like a document. I can ink, write and paste images into a note - but text, ink and images are all their separate blocks, flows from up to down, and cannot "interact" with each other.

Further, the Muse interface is very frictionless. Erasing ink is just holding a finger while using the Pencil. Switching tools is just swiping in on the screen with the pencil. Compare this to Apple Notes, where I usually need to chord several taps on different parts of the screen altogether just to change the tool or ink color.
Yes, I am referring to a nature-centric approach to life and ecocentrism seems to be getting there. However, I don’t agree with the ethical claim in ecocentrism which seems to imply an ecological movement: humans should respect nature and compensate for destroying it.
This very idea gives humans a special role. I believe humans destroying nature is part of nature itself, so motivating ecology using ecocentrism raises a contradiction.
PS: I am not claiming we should destroy nature.
Disney World is in Florida. Disney pays a lot of money to Florida politicians.
That would be too much in favor of the little guy, I'm afraid, and probably doesn't align well with preexisting deals with the music industry.
No, lets be honest, this did not "change" for the reasons you listed. Mainboards are all manufactured in China. Right to repair advocates are not looking for manufacturing processes, silicon designs or calibration procedures. All of which suppliers in China already have and YOU, the owner of the product, do not. China is probably already way ahead than anybody else in that area.

It is a misleading conflation, a complete dishonest lie, by opponents of right to repair. They always say "I support right to repair" then add "concerns" that absolutely do not apply. Right to repair folks aren't trying to replicate the microchip here. They are trying to replace a blown capacitor or a damaged resistor. They want to understand which parts are needed so they can execute the job properly. How power cycles through a board is not a magical trade secret.
The Meta of Meta Learning – Fortnite Fundamentals
Zack Shapiro is one of my favorite makers. While I don't play Fortnite, the Meta Learning framework steps he shares and the examples from Fortnite (which you can easily replace with things from work, sports or other games you play) makes it easier to remember and understand.
I also have designed pedals in the past - I agree with you it is loads of fun but probably hard to make money on. As I see it, there's two issues working against you in this regard.

First, guitar players in general seem to be somewhat driven by crowd mentality and not entirely open to embrace anything that isn't already tried-and-true. That makes it hard to get anyone to try something that isn't a clone or tweak of an existing design.

Second, like you said, the market is very saturated, and even if you do have a unique design, the aforementioned mentality largely works against you I think.

All that being said, there's a whole world of exploration and discovery out there when it comes to analog circuit design and that alone I think makes it an incredibly rewarding hobby.

I like how many people responded but didn’t answer your question.
Dataland is exempted.
I think you may be missing the point of the essay. I don’t think it meant to say that Christianity is perfect nor that Christianity is the supreme religion. Of course Christianity has been used to justify hateful conduct (just like most other religions at some point) but regardless it more than anything else is responsible for how “Western Civilization” developed, and by extension our understanding of human rights. Yes Christianity was used to defend slavery, but it was also used to condemn it. Regardless, the point was that Christianity is a driving force behind Western thought/morality and ignoring that is dangerous.

Are there other religions that teach the same values of human rights? Of course! But how many of them directly influenced Western life and the Western definition of those same rights, specifically in the founding of the US (which became the blueprint for so many other countries after it)?

Also, I feel like Judaism is implicitly included to some degree in this because Jesus was a Jew and the author specifically mentions he (the author) was Jewish.
Inter, IMO is a terrible choice for a UI font. It’s the exact reason why Apple switched from Helvetica [1]. If you want to learn more, see the difference between Apple’s SF Pro, SF Pro Display and SF Pro Text. Inter is a font that fits neither as a body text (fitting is awfully inconsistent), as a display typeface and certainly not as an interface typeface (counters are too tight, fitting needs to be redone specifically for interfaces, hinting is lacking and it is untested on various DPI settings and optimizations that someone like Apple has put effort into).

For the record, I think Apple’s UI has gotten worse but they’ve hired one of the best Typographers in the world. They did several presentations in WWDC 2016.

There is literally nothing preventing someone to host they code on gitlab/sourcehut/their own gitea server. Most people use github because it is free, but the git protocol is far from centralized.
Maybe this is true for a small subset of investigative journalists? I can't recall even one journalistic downfall caused by the lack of integrity.
But already your pitch is so good it makes me want to know your secrets or buy your pedal or suggest a marketing plan.

Perhaps document it for your own posterity.
Ask HN: Any AI based software to help me modulate my voice?
I was born with a cleft palate and consequently, I have breath in one nostril only and my voice is a bit nasal and sometimes hard to understand.

I want to create Youtube content, and I want to produce the content solely.

My requirement is that I record the video in my own voice and have an AI based software modulate it into voice of someone else, correcting / tuning my voice (I can provide samples of that voice too)

Can anyone help me?
The psyche test would be great. That way anyone who wants to die only has to take the test.
Maybe because there are relatively fewer options for free modeling software, compared to the tons of free 2D graphics programs one can choose from? Putting money into Blender helps those companies getting rid of buggy, expensive 3D software. For 2D graphics, they already have plenty of options.

Like in many high-skills high-competition jobs, people are selected on how much they can endure, not just how good they are. I've seen many excellent people just quit because the pressure with useless tasks was wearing them down. I often heard them tell me "I don't want to become a zombie like all of them" or things such as "Look at them, they are all trying to reproduce what they have been through because they have been convinced thats how you select good people"
I've tried to find research on the effects of non-ionizing EM radiation on things like the nervous system, and found only very limited results (but I am not an academic biologist and maybe didn't look in the right places).

I always assumed that people were afraid to touch the topic lest they be associated with the "cellphones are dangerous!!!" crowd.

Or (more likely but more boring) people tried it and got a lot of negative "unpublishable" results.

But what if it's a decades-long Cold War conspiracy? That'd make for a fun miniseries.
You have YouTube's content rating system backwards.

It's not "racey content gets marked special" with "suitable for children" being a catch-all category.

YouTube's "content developed for children", is the special case. It's explicitly content meant for and marketed to children, or content that children would be particularly attracted to, like nature documentaries.

All other content should be marked "not intended for children", even if it's not "adult"--aka restricted to 18+--content.

This is stated pretty clearly in YouTube's documentation. They have a link to it in a contextual pop-up right next to the form field asking you to self-rate the video.
I mostly agree with that, except for two edge cases:

(1) If the externality tax is used to raise funds for basics such as the police, then it's the lesser evil to have it go to the general ledger. Where else would public funds be raised to fund these basics?

(2) In the rare case that the externality is so broad, it can go to the general ledger, such as with carbon pollution (to the extent that it's harmful). Trying to figure out who is harmed and by how much is itself a bureucratic and potentially wasteful process that can be coopted by government corruption, so we should be weary of that.

If the vacuum is attractive, one has to explain voids and the cosmic web ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_universe#Walls,_fil... ), and it is not easy to do. This is exactly where most energetic-vacuum theories (of which entropic gravity is a flavour) fail to match observations. One can solve this by proposing extra fields, but then you have adapted your energetic-vacuum theory to concord with observations, and thus have produced an even more complicated theory than the standard "concordance" cosmology.

If anything, observations of distant galaxies suggest that one can treat deep intergalactic space as being very very slightly repulsive -- this is essentially what "dark energy" is.

The Casimir effect is only seen where there is manifestly not a vacuum: you need something in the vacuum to observe the effect: an evacuated box containing some conducting metal plates is not a box of classical vacuum any more than a box containing a human in a spacesuit is not a box containing nothing at all.

Because the plates are quantum objects with "free" electrons [1] sloshing around inside (otherwise they would not be conductors), the space around them has virtual photons sloshing around too. One can recalculate the vacuum energy (which is the basis for the pop science description you know) but one can alternatively consider relativistic Debye forces and London dispersion interactions (roughly, "the moving electrons result in inter-molecular attraction"; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect#Relativistic_va... ).

Whichever way to understand the Casimir effect, it is not observed at anything but small distances. Put a couple metres between the plates and gravitational attraction between them will be measurably stronger than the Casimir effect. (Even in modern laboratory conditions it's hard to actually demonstrate concord with the theoretical prediction. [2]) There's no Casimir effect at work in the orbit of the Moon around Earth, but there's plenty of extremely high quality vacuum between the two bodies.

In short, the Casimir effect is the wrong tree to bark up to try to explain why the fast-moving outer stars in elliptical galaxies aren't flung out into intergalactic space.

[2] There are groups studying the Casimir effect, and there is a fairly clear relationship between the amount of jiggle ("temperature") and the strength of the effect, which leads one more to an electromagnetic interaction between the nearby objects. https://jila.colorado.edu/cornell-group/research/hybrid-trap is one such team and some abstracts and links to papers. https://web.archive.org/web/20070210090006/http://www.nist.g... discusses the most relevant one and is more accessible.
Utter chaos for a week, then a week or two of swearing at gitlab then the world would continue - since while we use github we don't really use github - it's just a shared git repository with a reasonably nice interface for reviewing code.

That's for my company, for many open source projects the damage would be more severe since they often heavily use issues and GH project management features.
Yeah, this is textbook totalitarianism. People think totalitarianism is about dictatorship, but it isn’t: it’s about public policy dominating every part of one’s being, removing any personal or private space.

Forcing people to declare for this or that cause is absolutely totalitarian. It can be done with the best of intentions, but it’s still a unhealthy way of going about things.
We’ve all heard anecdotes about how Apple’s mismanagement of the safari team is holding back the entire web. This article is the first one I’ve read that goes in depth about specific issues, comparison with other browser vendors, and how things could be better.

Personally, I’m sick and tired of dealing with safari issues, and can corroborate the ridiculous amount of time wasted because, for whatever reason, Safari needs to be special and do things differently than Firefox or Chrome. As the article points out, their lack of funding and low quality implementations is, in essence, forcing the rest of us to subsidize the richest company on earth.
For the kinds of projects you mention (scripting language, small-medium sized) I aim for 1-2 minutes max, which is usually not a problem. This precludes running a lot of integration tests requiring expensive setup/teardown, though the need or value of those greatly depends on the project.

A certain section of western media is distinctly biased against the ruling party. So there seems to be a lot of marketing for a certain point of view, nudging the facts aside.
2x mobile displays that are 16x times smaller than desktop at least would seem to suggest those "many articles" are right.
In college we had to use them. It was a financial burden on myself. $100/course essentially. Our school mandated that we take homeworks using Pearson's online system. This means if you found a used copy of the book it was essentially waste. You needed to have a one-time-use code (printed on the book) to do your homework. If you didn't, you'd essentially fail the class. Also, the system was buggy.

The entire thing is a racket.
"Well if you're not in the hospital, why aren't you working?" wtf, hasn't this doctor ever seen people with disabilities or mental health issues outside a hospital? we all know or have family members in that situation.
This is one of the things I miss about Perforce - every merge was effectively a squash merge, but the branch was still there, just not visible by default (if I remember correctly). It was the best of both worlds - you keep a complete audit trail, but it was out of the way and didn’t interfere with your day to day view of the commit log. Moreover, there was never any discussion on merge strategies as there was just the one way to do it.

On top of that, they had some amazing tools for aiding in audits when you needed them.

I’m not suggesting we all switch to Perforce! But I do miss that aspect of it.

That's just like, his opinion, man. :) The concept that what is natural is moral is just a higher authority in another guise. (Or a redefinition of morality away from what it means to me.) It's also inconsistent in many cases with what most humans would label as moral and immoral behavior.
Between 30 seconds and about 45 minutes.

The only times when it was long enough that it was painful it was because there was a stage that couldn't be debugged without running the build. That's invariably what I actually preferred to fix, not the total lead time.

A 45 minute sanity check to verify nothing is fucked before releasing is fine. A 45 minute debugging feedback loop is a nightmare.

Faster CI builds are typically a nice-to-have rather than a critical improvement (& doing too many nice to haves has killed many a project).
"Food insecurity is the limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate and safe foods, or limited or uncertain ability to acquire acceptable foods in socially acceptable ways."

"Food insecurity is a household-level economic and social condition of limited access to food, while hunger is an individual-level physiological condition that may result from food insecurity.

Information about the incidence of hunger is of considerable interest and potential value for policy and program design. But providing precise and useful information about hunger is hampered by the lack of a consistent meaning of the word. "Hunger" is understood variously by different people to refer to conditions across a broad range of severity, from rather mild food insecurity to prolonged clinical undernutrition."

I don't see this in the docs
The copyright holders should just upload the sheet music to a different website. There is no requirement for anyone to redistribute a piece of Creative Commons content for free. That's true even with the NC licenses, in that case, the only real option for non-compliance is for the copyright holder to file a takedown notice to get the material removed. I know it seems counter-intuitive since you probably want to download that music, but this is what you're actually asking for.

If the copyright holders are absent then not much is going to be done about this -- that's one of the major reasons why artists join these large copyright holding organizations, to handle this stuff for them!
At my current job, the full build/test/release cycle is about 45 minutes. There is an effort to begin optimizing it but it is a high risk endeavor that only became worth it once the costs started growing faster than our team size and became unsustainable.

CI tech debt is very difficult to pay down, and imho not worth it unless the dollar costs are becoming excessive and you have a dedicated release or DevOps engineer who can own it as an internal product.
I've had that as well. Especially in stressful or tiredness situations. Exercising and better food made them go away. That may be a spurious correlation with my n=1 but I guess exercise and better food will help long term anyway.
Proper mincemeat pies contain suet and have a very different taste from the vegetarian ones. So yes, in that case it is a problematic name that conflates two usefully distinct things.

This is definitely a younger generation issue. The idea that the workplace should be a platform for activism just make no sense. It’s one thing to require your company to have certain ethical standards, that they follow the law, that they don’t descriminate, that they don’t have a culture of sexual harassment, etc.

But this is not about that (base camp already seems to be a positive work environment). So to assume you can use the companies resources for your own activism just comes across as entitled. It’s a disconnect with the other 99% of the workforce.. many of which are forced to pee in bottles to make their paychecks. The bubble of privilege these employees live in, and their blindness to it makes them look bad.

From the companies perspective, in a healthy democracy we are going to disagree. And there’s a time and a place for those disagreements. And the company can’t start to wade into those arguments. I can only imagine what trying to manage employees with differing viewpoints is like if they feel like they can both bring those views front and center to the office.

So I know I would be unlikely to hire these employees unless the did some growing up.
I do not agree. But I do love me some Rivera-era Fender solid state amps.
