Something unpleasant happens: I do the analysis from the starting point that I am 100% wrong. Of course as I go along, most often, I realize that - while partially responsible - I am not 100% wrong, but there is some wrongdoing on my part, if not just in the way I reacted/responded, and/or the depth/breadth of my reaction/responses.

For instance, when Anxiety flares up due to some trigger, I might ruminate and have insomnia.

Ever ask why? Well... it's about giving way too many fucks. Shit happened. So? Who's responsible for ruminating and losing sleep? Me, myself and I. 100% my bad. Of course I am not responsible for the event, but I am responsible for letting it make me ruminating / insomniac.

And seeking an external solution like meds, or therapy, or a therapist or whatnot it's just a copout. And if taken to an extreme it might develop into victim mentality and hence a self fulfilling prophecy.

This works for me. I am not blaming any victims out there, at times I have mentioned this personal attitude of mine only to be accused of "blaming victims the world over". NOPE. This is about me.

I am no martyr either, but I see out there, and I was guilty myself, to use as a starting point the stance that I was either right or immune to any finger-pointing. Starting from "I am 100% wrong" is just a different stance, a different starting point. Needs not to be the end of it, the process of reasoning is the journey the leads to bettering oneself.
> there's nothing to stop someone like Samsung sticking cellular modems in their TVs to work around you doing this.

True. Although, if they put that SIM card on the bluetooth/wifi network board that I'm disconnecting then I'll be ok.

I would be surprised if they used cellular technology for this though (from a cost perspective). I'd expect a lorawan/helium like implementation.
I won't argue. And I grew up at a time when cars were less reliable (and my first clunker certainly wasn't). I do think some basic things like changing a tire, jumping a battery, and at least knowing how to check fluid levels is useful. You don't always have something go wrong where you can easily just call for help.
Why does this article not mention the names or institutions of the authors?
Interesting idea, can relate with the problem you're looking to solve. As a former tech person, I find it challenging to get people to look past what I've been doing for the last while and get a better sense of my abilities as a whole. Few people are well summed up by a job title (prospective or otherwise).

Definitely room for something like this in the space.
Every business owner that I’ve talked to in the last few months, who employ low skill labor, are leaning hard on the lazy angle. They're quite happy the unemployment benefits are shutting down soon. I postulate that is correlated to people being forced into these shit jobs so employers can keep their wages low.
If you just don't jump on random tech without good reasons, you already naturally apply this advice. Especially since once you really need it and also wants Git, there is not much alternative (as the author recognizes). In this context, just waiting for a potential "better support for handling of large files" of official Git makes little sense; plus I make the wild prediction that what will actually happen is that it's Git LFS that will (continue to) be improved and used by most people (and maybe even integrated in "official Git"?)
Hold your horses. He’s a Russian-Canadian residing in Singapore, if I’m googling correctly.
Right now may just not be the best time for hiring, there are many people who are able to live on benefits. Why return to work, especially as grueling as a restaurant, if you don’t have to?
Flexures (Compliant Mechanisms) Examples
i think i believe that. what is the easiest thought abstraction that can be captured by our sensors? well the abstraction is largely defined by the UI. i like to think of it like language. UI components (words) come together to enable complex actions (sentences or thoughts). it evokes questions, like what language does the brain speak in certain contexts for certain outputs? that's gonna be interesting to follow. what if we all think super differently and that makes it hard? i can't imagine why, but i don't have a background in real brains

it may be that our current "AI" tools might be helpful--they're really good at composing "languages" for tying together different types of data. seems that tying noisy brain sensors data to our English alphabet might be an example of that.
In recent iOS releases, there is an organge dot by the camera that appears when the camera or the microphone is in use. This is an OS-level feature; apps cannot suppress it.

This indicator has not been reported to appear "for no reason" in these apps.

(Mind you, there's no similar feature for Android, so FAANG might be carefully snooping on only Android users. But it's pretty unlikely.)

Also, people snoop the network traffic from these apps all the time. There's no raw audio in there when there shouldn't be. (Or do you imagine the hypothetical speech-to-text modelling is happening on your phone? That'd be nigh-on Pokemon-Go-like in its battery draw. For an example of a similar battery draw: try opening Shazam or another "audio fingerprinting" app, and just continuously re-activating it whenever it deactivates. You'll lose a lot of battery, pretty quickly.)

I might be misinterpreting, but are you saying the two are mutually exclusive? Google Docs does need custom layout and rendering which may be tough/finicky to implement with the existing css layout, as well as consistency.

That's just a debate on the semantics of the sentence "using a computer". Maybe your definition is better, I don't particularly care.

The point I'm trying to make is that I percieve a very clear conceptual difference between "using a computer to program" and "using a computer to do other things", and I would tend to believe an effort to improve computer literacy should attempt to point people to the former rather than the latter.

Do you believe those things to be the same? I have a strong intuition that they aren't, but I'm very willing to hear a counterpoint.

Once again, I'm specifically trying to avoid any kind of value judgment.
...fearing losing access to your Apple ID has nothing to do with whether Apple is a monopoly or not (and of course, they are not).
As much as Git LFS is a bit of a pain, on recent projects I've resorted to committing my node_modules with Yarn 2 to Git using LFS and it works really well.

Note that with Yarn 2 you're committing .tar.gz's of packages rather than the JS files themselves, so it lends itself quite well to LFS as there are a smaller number of large files.

It looks like on Safari on macOS they also hijack right-click menu, but text selection works such that I can go to Edit>Copy and it works.

What tells you to press Ctrl+Alt+Z? That's not a great experience for you to interactively edit a document if you have accessibility needs.
God this story is so over-represented on the Internet. There must be other interesting mysteries and stories from this period in Soviet history, surely?
Yep. All big projects started as small projects.

The hard part is justifying the time spent on a project. You often start a project and feel like it's not the best use of your time. That you may be the only one to use the project or find value in the project and that's enough to kill motivation. Why start a business if the vast majority of businesses fail? Why start a business when there is already so much competition? Why write a novel when there is no hope of selling it? Then there are the "I'm too old for..." thoughts.

These thoughts eat away at people.

If someone pointed me to my purpose project and told me if I were to keep at it that I would find guaranteed success, then I would have an infinite well of energy at my disposal. But of course, no one is there to tell you that.
What’s the reason for serializing the full engine state for the save/load functionality? Seems like a lot of complexity.

I have no idea what actually happened here (maybe a mixture of things), and I know a lot of people don't necessarily think some powerful billionaire deserves any pity, or they may think he's actually involved in censoring things himself, but I kind of feel sympathy for Jack Dorsey. What a mess.
I've just read through the comments, and can't really see anyone else making this point .. so I'm assuming it will be unpopular.

Why is nuclear the silver bullet that will save us?

Logically, renewable and storage on a microlevel seems to make more sense.

With nuclear .. no matter how advanced the tech is now, I can't see how we're not robbing Peter to pay back Paul.

The waste will be around for longer than we are. We have no solution other than 'lock it up'.

Accidents do — and most like will — happen. How will increasing the volume of reactors not increase this risk?
Why do you say that Tesla is less scammy than SpaceX?
Is rewriting the history for large repos really that difficult besides coordinating with other contributors? My understanding is that it shouldn't be that much worse than "git gc --aggressive". Yes it is expensive, but it is the sort of thing you can schedule to do overnight or on a weekend.
By 1980 Knuth was working with Hermann Zapf. So he was able to interest Zapf in his software essentially immediately. Knuth was a prestigious figure, so it's not a shock. Stanford students of typography and CS participated in the detailed production work on the font that was made with Zapf. It doesn't sound like funding was an issue.

Sure, bootstrapping the TeX project would have been a bit more difficult if a font designer had been required from the start; on the other hand, maybe Metafont would have been a more successful font design system if type designers had been (more?) involved from the outset.

"Zapf designed and drew the Euler alphabets in 1980–81 and provided critique and advice of digital proofs in 1983 and later. The typeface family is copyright by American Mathematical Society, 1983. Euler Metafont development was done by Stanford computer science and/or digital typography students; first Scott Kim, then Carol Twombly and Daniel Mills, and finally David Siegel, all assisted by John Hobby. Siegel finished the Metafont Euler digitization project as his M.S. thesis in 1985."

It's worth noting, more generally, that Knuth himself has described a realization that he gets better results from delegating tasks than from "going it alone":

"Some of you may recall that I wrote the entire
program for TEX78 and TEX82 all by myself, and
you may be wondering whether I’ve done the same
for iTeX. Don’t worry: This time around I’m having
the job done by people who know what they’re
doing. After many years I’ve finally come to realize
that my main strength lies in an ability to delegate
work and to lead large projects, rather than to go
it alone. Programming has never really been my
forté for example, I’ve had to remove 1289 bugs
from TEX, and 571 from METAFONT."
I found using git-lfs only in a subrepo worked well, since subrepos by default are checked out shallow.
I’ve found it’s quite doable if you just “type” out different words on a blank keyboard and then use where your fingers land as the label. If you type “animal” you then know the position of all the constituent letters. So all you need to do is type a sentence with all characters, like “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”

Interesting effect though. This reminds me that it’s almost impossible to draw a bicycle from memory. https://www.amusingplanet.com/2016/04/can-you-draw-bicycle-f...

If this were the whole story, it would mean that a man who had been in a coma his whole life up to 60 would have the same emotional control as a little kid. For example, he would cry at losing a board game. That's very hard to believe.

I'm pretty sure the difference between old people and young people is mostly just energy. Old people can't feel intense emotions for the same reason they can't run a marathon. They just get fatigued too easily.
The Beal garden is but a few miles from my house. Today is Dr. Beal's birthday and because of this little experiment he is remembered 97 years after his death far more than any of his peers.

If you're ever in East Lansing it's worth visiting Beal garden which is next to the campus library. It's so picturesque that students have their weddings there.
Its time to realize that Media companies have been lying their asses off for many years. So many people still believe what their TV tells them. And will grasp for any plausible explanation that still keeps their world view intact. No matter how many twists of logic it may be.
Asymptotically as the size of the staff that can delete things grows, the probability that at least one of them would be willing to delete things for "ideological purposes" will approach 1, right?
For programmers which need to consume C APIs ideally the tool is the standard compiler. Eeverything gets handled at compile time without the need for community-maintained cache of bindings. New language designers start with a C compiler which handles header files, then extend compiler to also parse NewLang files. The in-memory representation is loaded from both source types, without throwing away the C functionality. In NewLang there is some standard namespace and calling convention.

@importc "stdio.h"
num : I32 : 123456789
fd : c:int : c:open(c:"file.txt", c:O_RDONLY)
:: c:print("file:%d number:%d\n", fd, num)

But nothing more, everything else is handled by compiler.
I'm wondering if at some point it makes sense to compile servo to webassembly and let it render to a canvas.

Producing a good user experience with pure canvas rendering is a lot of work. A tree stucture to manage UI elements makes this easier. Flutter is going in a similar direction here.

The interesting thing would be that the engine wouldn't need to conform to web standards anymore, while providing a guaranteed consistent cross browser experience. One could probably strip away lots of old dom concepts that make the dom slow today.
I’ve had luck opting myself out of junk mail, but how do I stop junk mail that is addressed to a previous resident?

Writing “return to sender; not at this address” has not noticeably helped (and in one case the mail was re-delivered to me anyway...).
Yes, I know how it works.

I'm not claiming that there is a formal legal obstacle here. I'm hypothesizing that a state government would be less interested in banning something which has popular support in a medium-size city in that state.
This was buried in the article, but James Danmore is racist now.

> notorious ex-Googler James Damore, who suggest this is because women and people of color lack the innate qualities needed to succeed in tech.

It seems that people just keep tacking on “sins” to see what sticks to people’s reputations regardless of the facts. Was there anything in Danmores article that even mentioned people of color?
Do you play an instrument? I have a feeling that I can type quickly (well over 100wpm) because I play the piano as well.
Testing and filtering is accomplished by the distillation itself. A very basic understanding of what comes out when is more than enough for a simple pot still and only one or two passes. Humans have been doing that since long before the concept of a molecule even existed.

If you decide to mess around with a large fractionating column though, do read up and make sure you have a full conceptual understanding of how the chemistry works. Even seemingly benign chemicals can be extremely dangerous to ingest or handle once concentrated. (For example, vinegar. Dilute acetic acid makes for a good salad dressing. Above 90%, contact will leave you with severe burns and scarring.)

You are forgetting about self employment taxes, which is around 15.3%. Then you have to pay federal AND state taxes on top of that, which is probably another 25-30%.

If you are a self-employed contractor and you don't have a lot of deductible expenses, you can easily end up paying 40-45% of your paycheck towards taxes.

You also have to account for all of the other expenses that you have to cover without any company help, such as life insurance, disability insurance, health insurance, etc. Plus, you don't really get "paid time off", "sick time", or anything like 401k matching.

Essentially, if you are a contractor who wants to make $100, you need to be actually charging your clients $200.
Yeah, he should have included Bay Area men in that assessment.
> Most people are roughly the same in terms of physical and mental capability

This is a story we stop telling kids around the end of high school. We tell this story because, as a child, being told you’re dumb can stunt intellectual growth, or being told you’re not physically capable can stop kids from forming a habit of exercising.
> My gf started jerking herself off at 13... What is she, a dangerous type that objectify men and see sex as a power/control thing ?

The fact that you talk about your girlfriend like that on here speaks to a lack of respect. How would she feel if she knew you were sharing those details I wonder?

There’s a ton of data showing that early sexualization is very bad for female self esteem, causes eating disorders, etc. In addition for any sex, male, female, etc. it leads to greater rates of risky sexual behavior including multiple partners, unprotected sex, unwanted pregnancy, etc etc. Unwanted pregnancy is a huge driver of continued poverty, lack of ability to continue education, etc.

> Female sexual "predation" is pretty much universal.

Really, that’s your response? Do you perhaps see the irony in trying to defend children seeing sexual material by immediately trying to justify and okay sexual dominance based on animal behavior?

There’s lots of sexual predation among animals. Doesn’t mean I want that for myself or my family. Again, only proving my point by the way you speak about it.

You fail the gom jabbar.
Not sure what you mean by crypto indexer, you mean people who buy a basket of crypto? Sure, in the short term, they might outperform BTC, over long term 70% will die, 90+% won't recover to their ATHs. If you indexed back in 2017 into top 10 coins, only like 3 of them crossed their old prices from 2017, rest are as good as dead.
Web consists of strings, not types. Somewhere in your pipeline you have string-to-type, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language.

It is true that some languages makes it easier to go string-to-type than others, but I can do all of that in PHP by creating my own types too.
The Israeli government has a specialized unit specifically for reporting posts on social networks: https://www.adalah.org/en/content/view/10292

If it has been given the "trusted reporter" status that similar organizations have it could certainly be abused at times like this.
Thank you for the response. What evidence do you use to support your judgment that the physical system is not affecting the mathematical transformations in the present example? Or is it just an assumption that you do not need to consider “quantum electrodynamic” parameters even though the motion involved is intrinsically natural, eg bird audio?
For what it's worth, they'd chafe at the term "liberal".

I think their idea is that development inevitably means gentrification, so they are opposed to development in order to stop the advance of gentrification.
Oh, and by the way, they can watch a video on YouTube in which someone does a detailed walk through of Tarantino's framing and angle choices in a scene.
