Why? The answer is ultimately spiritual and cultural (note the shared etymology of "culture"[0], "cult"[1] and "cultivate"[2]). The article does point to the consumerist ethos as a factor. This is true. Consumerism is a vicious and degrading religion. But what drives consumerism is a fundamental restlessness and malaise characteristic of modernity that stands behind both work-for-work's-sake—the world of "total work"—and the pursuit of the myriad empty recreations on offer. Both are forms of escape and marks of a diseased soul. You can't fix the problem simply by reforming workplace practices alone, though that could, of course, help because it would at least create the space needed to pursue leisure. But by simply bandaging the symptoms, we avoid trying to determine the root cause. We persist in the same pathological condition. Truncate work in the absence of leisure and that space will be filled with either some other work or more recreation.

(N.b. I recommend Josef Pieper's "Leisure: The Basis of Culture"[3] if you want to understand what leisure is and how it differs from recreation.)

> Particle physics is younger than psychology and yet far more effective; why?

“Physics” isn’t, though, just carving out of particle physics as a distincg niche within it.
But mostly the difference is particle physics deals with simpler systems in which the parts are easier to isolate.

> There is a qualitative difference between the sciences which generate predictive models and those which cannot.

No, there isn’t; all sciences, including psychology, generate predictive models. There’s a quantitative difference in the degree of uncertaintity expected in predictive models in various sciences which affects testing models, and is a product of the degree of difficulty of isolating the effect modelled from potentially confounding influences.

"Males have more teeth than females"

― Aristotle
Which is why I have trouble trusting any policy related to COVID mitigation. It has firmly become another orthodoxy - especially given it's politicization, and the association of skepticism with being "anti mask" or "anti vax". The bulk of related science will be heavily biased - certain research avenues are simply unlikely to be pursued.

There is at least one other preprint floating around now [0] which suggests that the spike protein itself is a general inflammatory agent, and another preprint (having trouble finding it) indicating that the spike protein is possibly responsible for the clotting/vascular nature of COVID. Now as I understand the mRNA vaccines induce cells to produce spike proteins.

So if the reports in these preprints are confirmed, then there is a likelihood that the mRNA vaccine will cause chronic inflammation in some proportion of recipients. And given the new orthodoxy, and the political momentum behind a successful vaccine, I expect that confirmation and acknowledgement of such findings to be a long uphill battle. Particularly given the ambiguous nature of chronic inflammatory conditions. Note that a retroviral tendency of the COVID virus could explain positive tests post symptomatic infection as well as so called long COVID.

That's a useful starting point. Thanks for sharing it. I do think that it's only a starting point, implementing real world policies that have the intended effect is a lot harder in practice.
Stop watching cable news and listening to the prognostications of celebrities who got where they are through their looks or ability to act.

The biggest problem we have today is that kids have no context that tells them how great they have it, so they're like putty in the hands of those who would use them to gain political power. Like some kind of emotional vampire, those vested political interests gain power from your fear and your willingness to be mobilized by it.

Most of us who have a few decades on you would gladly take another 70 years of youthful existence to experience life and see where this world goes next.
I think that examples are underestimated as developer experience tools. There are definitely stages of developer engagement, and examples are a sweet spot. You have someone actively engaged (enough to want to try code) but new enough that they may not be clear where to start.

GitHub makes it so easy to set up examples and let folks clone them. It can also be a discovery mechanism.

Just make sure the examples continue to work, are audited periodically and have good readmes.

As far as I'm aware I've never allowed anything to autoplay video. If a site has video on it then I immediately try to mute/stop it (hence my frustration with this site where there doesn't appear to be any way of stopping the video. I ended up closing the tab).
The whole thing is very asymmetric:

Your own jurisdiction and law enforcement have no power on foreign territory; but foreign organizations (state sponsored or not) located there have freedom to penetrate your society and economy. Moreover, foreign governments may deliberately ignore your requests to investigate.

Thanks to technologies and to chaotic reactions to modern day problems (including covid-19 pandemic) it looks like modern forms of independent sovereign states are very archaic.

1. How the data is stored is irrelevant. Again personal data refers to data connected to your account. So if they store a history when and where you logged in, they have to provide it. When you upload stuff, they have to provide it. When you star a repo, they have to provide it.

2. They have to filter data out that is not ought to be seen by you. A Repository is a special case since it is not simply personal data. Think about giving a contractor temporary access to your repo etc. GDPR tries to enforce reasonable data compatibility between platforms ("Right to data portability"). This is orthogonal to personal data collection.

3. No. It's the responsibility of the services that use S3 to manage this. The operators are the controllers in this case. They also have to ensure that Amazon does not process the data they store on AWS S3. Eventually they have to make this agreement even part of the contract with the persons who they provide the service for.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. "vira"? In Latin, virus is a mass noun (like applesauce), so you can pluralize however you want in English because using it in the singular only works in English anyway.

How to Stay Competitive in a Post-Covid World
I would not call it an artefact. An artefact is something that is the result of a lab condition (like the type of plastic you use). Overexpressing a retrotransposon is not an artefact, it's the applied factor, even if it's less likely to be biologically relevant.

You're spot on on the comment about suppressing data, though.
When I started my first job programming job out of university, I spent a lot of time pairing with one of my teammates (online) at the beginning. Not necessarily because it was enforced, but I think we figured it would just be a good way to learn. This went on for a few months, over time I'd take shots at doing tasks for myself, some with more or less success.

Then eventually that teammate moved to a different team, and suddenly I was doing a lot more stuff on my own and... I learned WAY faster. I suddenly realized how dependant I was being when we were pairing all the time. Call it a self-discipline issue maybe, but if I ran into a roadblock I'd just ask him for the solution cause otherwise it felt like I was wasting time to not figure things out for myself. But once that crutch wasn't there, I had to think about things for myself more, and it was like a couple week before I was feeling way more confident in my skillset.
When you look closely, a whole ton of things are gamification. Even something as simple as a problem set is very gamified, if you choose to see it from that angle, since real challenges almost never come in the form of neat bundles with a single unambiguous solution. I'm honestly not sure whether I think that's a useful angle or not, but either way it seems inescapable to conclude that there's a category of healthy gamification towards good ends.

Install the "docs" (meta)package and it'll automatically install documentation packages. My greatest annoyance is actually the (absent) documentation to find this; IIRC I had to find out about this via IRC.
Train YOLO v5 on a Custom Dataset
Sure. Agreed. However, I think it is entirely fair to say that this isn't a 50/50 situation where half the companies are evil. In fact, even companies like Google --which I have grown to dislike-- are not evil. They behave badly in some areas while doing great things in others.

One of the things I have grown fond of forcing myself to say or think as a way to center myself is that reality can't be reduced to a single variable. Reality is a complex multivariate problem. As such, a reduction to a single variable, is both irrational and unrealistic. No matter the issue, there's a lot more under the surface than a single variable, issue, property, behavior, etc. A lot more. The sophisticated thinker will recognize this and try their best to avoid the kinds of sweeping generalizations that are, sadly, so common these days. Entire groups of people negatively painted with a broad brush is probably the most recognizable for of this effect today.
Why did OpenDoc fail, and then fail 3 more times?
I think he is referencing that sites collect data even if you aren't a user. In that case, you could use the GDPR to get that data. That scenario makes no sense with github though.

Weekend hacking: wireless charging for a HP-25 calculator
I know where you're coming from, but I think the shallower current events type discussions bring a lot of value in holding a mirror up to the deeper, more theoretical and timeless pieces.

It's about keeping them honest. You know the latter have value if you see their themes and lessons play out frequently in the former.

A decent test of the most useful theory is how often it's relevant and referenced in shallow quick fire current events discussions.
I was in the CBOT agricultural futures and options pits. Despite the fact that we had hand signals, yelling and then running over to a broker who had an order you wanted to trade was by far the most popular way for a trade to be executed. Hand signals were more often used for trade confirmations and for communicating with your clerks or trading partners.

How do you teach other people? In our team we sometimes have people working on systems that they are unfamiliar with, either because they are new to the team or new to the feature/system, and we've found that it saves a huge amount of time to have someone who is familiar with the system pair with them to get up to speed.

Sure, once the person is comfortable (and the "expert" is comfortable that they aren't going to do anything that they'll have to undo later) we typically go off and work on our own, but I just don't see how you can train others efficiently without pairing.
Yeah, they definitely got rare in the normal supply chain. I'd be surprised to see one in anything other than a japanese design today.
The money quote on anonymous accusations:

The accusations came to light following a press conference during which opposition politician Marinika Tepić played a recorded, anonymous testimony from a man who says he witnessed the events while working at a hotel in the village of Končarevo.

It seems we ignore these anonymous accusations when a favored politician is implicated and use them conveniently when it is an opposition politician.

There was a random process. Plenty of people lived to be 90, and plenty of people died at birth.

The difference was that a random cut could turn into an infection and kill you. Hannibal lost vision in one eye due to an infection. Prior to antibiotics, you never knew if an infection would:

- Pass;

- Disable you; or

- Kill you

Same thing for a lot of other medical issues, as well as non-medical ones (such as a famine, bandits, or a random army passing through).
I cannot fathom how complicated arbitrary code execution could get with multi byte characters that could use shift registers, null bytes and byte order marks with determinism in a NOP slide on a heap spray.

Filtering only printable user input helps but even bit map images can expose a heap to a sensitive registers that will execute some target specific generated shell code.

>Today? The laptop

The laptop is really just a tool to host different virtual instruments.

The "instrument" most easily associated with the past 15-20 years of electronic/pop music making have been Wave Table synthesizers like NI Massive and Serum.

Remember Skrillex? Those screeching sounds and basses are using Wavetable synthesis (from NI Massive in particular).

A big part of the reason it's harder to associate a particular instrument with newer electronic genres is because it's FAR easier (and more common) now to program your own patches (essentially a preset instrument) for your songs.

The DX-80 mentioned in the next section was VERY difficult to create patches for (even for it's time) so when you hear it in a song, it's almost always the included stock patches.

>The 80's was the electric keyboard and synths, kinda.

You'd associate a few types of instruments (and synthesis types) with the 80s but the reigning one was FM Synthesis, in particular the Yamaha DX-80.

Give a listen to some stick DX-80 patches and you'll immediately go "Yep, that's the 80's"

For me a breaking bug in your documentation is the same as a breaking bug in your code. Both won't let me try or use whatever you built.
And what exactly is the problem there? Are you going to be writing code that a) is built with a weird enough compiler that it fails this optimisation but also b) does byte swapping in a performance critical section?

> Wouldn't you say then that the CPI was correct not to adjust too far to account for it?

My point was it missed the largest housing cost rise in multiple generations, despite housing being ~1/3 of the CPI. That it then also missed the downward correction is just more evidence that the CPI is uncorrelated to housing costs.
> Given that most query builders allow arbitrary parameters (such as table and column names), you can't actually ensure the query is correct at compile time, regardless of the type of language.

JOOQ [0] does a great job of providing a type-safe query builder that can guarantee correct queries at compile-time. It indeed also supplies arbitrary strings for names and sql components which will break that guarantee, but apart from that you can extract your databases' schema into typed classes and use those to run your queries.

I really like it, but it is definately not a replacement for an ORM.

I think it's also fair to apply that tolerance to the team level: letting teams exist that require pairing. And teams that never pair. And everything in between.

That is, the parent point, should not be used as an argument against there existing teams with team-level pairing standards or expectations.

If we get to the point where it is hard to find a non-pairing team, then maybe we revisit this. But given the diversity of people on this topic, that seems extremely unlikely.

The justification on teams that require pairing should be a non-judgmental "that's just how we do it here. For now." And people who have strong preferences should be able to ask about it interviews.
The fact that we exist as carbon based life forms makes it somewhat likely other life forms exist. We're made of the most common elements, whose signatures we observe in other stars. But in order to exist, we needed time for first and second generation stars to create heavier elements. So, space is only part of the limitation, time may be the more key reason we don't hear alien contact.
Making the observation that it is an absolute prerequisite to know the local language is not the same as the expectation that everyone caters to yours. If anything, it is the opposite.

That said, if a given city only speaks one language, that is a good indicator of how homogenous and monocultural it will be. For example, if you take a vibrant multicultural city like Toronto or London, you can almost certainly find a plumber who speaks your native language.
