Hey! I'm interested in the idea from your description, but I'm having trouble finding a visual demonstration of what this thing is. Can you point me towards a "Screenshots" or some other demonstration of the end state of this?

How ATI’s drivers ‘optimize’ Quake III

> More steel/thicker/different steel is expensive

Expensive would be OK, of course a bigger ship costs more to build than a small one, but you hope to make the investment back by carrying more cargo and additionally benefit from some economies of scale.

However, the biggest ships we have are at the limit of how thick we can join steel plates with current welding technologies. So there's some non-linearity here.
I've read both and think English Pastoral is marginally better.

Less sheep, more general farming stuff and stronger narrative of old-school farming with his grandfather to modern industrialised then to present where he's doing more regenerative agriculture.

So with enough inference it’s macron’s call.

I very much doubt that's true for the average user, who will simply be using the browser's built-in default – which to an not inconsiderable extent is rather constrained by backwards compatibility concerns rather than being truly optimised for usage as "the only stylesheet you'll ever need".

Besides, even with a boring plain old homepage-and-definitively-not-a-web-app it's not too difficult to run into the limitations of what you can achieve without some custom styling even purely in terms of basic layouting and typography.
Deeply sorry if I could not make myself clear to you, thanks for showing me with a downvote. What I'm trying to do is dissolve these binary categories and find another explanation for their presence in public discourse.

"Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman is out with a new book on why we all make such bad judgments"

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/14/nobel-prize-winner-daniel-ka...

_"Noise audits"_

"For example, if members of a radiology team provide widely different analysis of the same X-ray of the same patient, that is a noise problem.

Kahneman describes a protocol for a noise audit that involves studying how a group of experts in a firm (he suggests a minimum of 12 participants) react to two or three realistic case studies on an individual basis. Each member would have to summarize the case and the judgment either numerically (in dollars, percentiles, or probabilities) or on some scale with at least five degrees (such as “very strong,” “strong,” “average,” “poor,” or “very poor”). They would not be allowed to communicate with each other. The executives who assemble the case study are surveyed beforehand to assess how much they expect their experts to agree on any given case, and what level of disagreement would be acceptable. If the results diverge significantly from expectations, then there is a noise problem."
They only do so in agricultural societies. Hunter-gatherers (how we spent the vast majority of our history) have fewer children spaced further apart. Being on the move doesn’t lend itself to large families.
You’ve broken the premise. We instituted UBI because robots are so good nobody can justify paying you for your work. You don’t get to come behind that and say you’ll work for additional compensation.

The game is sufficiently solvable as a 5-by-5 map without any concern for the words in each cell. Generally, it’s more interesting to study the actual gameplay around word association than to study the optimal winning strategy. There is some room to study whether the association between words could further optimize the naive approach. Another enjoyable side strategy involves optimizing for the opponent’s strategy.
I don't even understand what "controls" means here? Are you talking about turning the Suez Canal into a filtered lock system able to hold Suezmax class ships (160,000 DWT)? Wouldn't the massive energy usage by pumping/filtering that much water (and the usage by the ship's idle engines while they wait) do more environmental damage than the invasive species?

We only use GH Actions for check builds right now, which are easily disabled as a temporary measure.

Having the ability to build & deploy your software outside the confines of a cloud vendor is essential to survival. When the automation works, its great. When it doesn't, have a manual process that you can follow on a local workstation.

At the end of the day, you can always email the customer a zip file and walk them through installing the update in production. That is, as long as you didn't make your architecture and CI/CD one in the same thing, in which case you probably need to hit the reset button and try again.
I think the biggest pitfall in your plan is thinking that prices would respond by falling, let alone by 95%.

There’s a long history of countries imposing capital controls. And it’s rarely favorable to the home country’s exchange rate. What you are proposing is basically just capital controls towards the crypto economy.

Yes it will make it harder for new buyers to bid up the price of Bitcoin. But it almost certainly will induce current holders to hoard any Bitcoin they own, thus reducing supply and putting upward pressure on the price. Without a liquid market, miners are likely to hoard their rewards, creating even more Bitcoin scarcity.

It also may create panic buying before the law comes in effect, or by people in foreign jurisdiction fearing the export of the policy.

GP's use case of having frontend devs do small changes to backends and vice versa to avoid having to wait for The Other Team to have time, is very easily covered with really minimal training.

Sorry, but I can't really agree with that, certainly not for anyone below senior.

Asking juniors, who don't have much breadth of experience yet, to jump from front end to back end is a good way to end up with subtle SQL injection vulnerabilities, or passwords being hashed with non-cryptographic hashing algorithms, or secrets that should be handled at the environment level being hard-coded and committed.

Asking juniors to jump from back end to front end is a good way to end up with code that runs fine in Chrome but breaks in iOS Safari, or a subtle interaction between promises or awaits that deadlocks the whole UI if the server is unreachable, or styles that break when someone updates the theme six months later because two elements were the same blue at the time but the stand-in dev looked it up from the wrong place.

Either way, there's significantly more for them to learn if they need to know a whole new programming language as well as the specific libraries and the general principles about security and so on. And either way, The Other Team are probably going to be involved and therefore a potential bottleneck anyway, as surely at the very least someone senior from that team will be required to review code changes being requested by someone from outside the team who doesn't normally work in their part of the code.

I prefer to split tasks into two types.

Marathons. So if I'm not over-tired and I've had my morning coffee, and a good night's sleep, I will do a marathon session of 4-5 hours of solid work, no interruptions apart from social media feeds where I need to know what's going on in the world so I have context for what I'm working on. (If Github's down for example, I need to know that).

Sprints. These are smaller tasks that take 5-10 minutes, but I treat them as micro-habits that compound over time, or in other words; many-littles-make-a-lot and the desired outcome reveals itself over longer periods of time.

It's good to know which mode you're in, because with ADHD, you need to pre-allocate time-frames to the important things and know when you're in sprint-mode vs marathon-mode. Some people mix them up and end up doing 4-5 hours on something that should be a 5-10 min sprint, and needs to be incrementally improved on over a long duration (we're talking months or years of progress here).
How does this work without the 'source code' of the tracks being provided - e.g. the Garageband files or Logic files or Reason files or even just the 'stems' (separate audio tracks).

Like its really hard to, say, change the drum pattern on a track if you dont have access to the underlying files that were used to produce it.

Telemetry in the sense of automating the collection of useful data might be worth the effort, but there's no need to share that data with Google or Yandex.

Some examples of language features alien to English speakers:

* Conjugated adjectives, as in Japanese. To say "it was delicious", you need to say "it is delicious-ed" (oishikatta desu).

* Agglutinative languages, like Finnish or Hungarian, where word order is largely irrelevant and conjugations, not word order, determine meaning.

* Topic/subject languages, like Japanese, where previously defined context can radically alter meaning. "Watashi wa hamburger desu" can mean "I'm a hamburger", "I'll have a hamburger", "If you ask me, it's a hamburger", etc.

* Grammatical gender, as in a whole lot of European languages.

* Tones, as in Chinese, Vietnamese, etc.

Here's a fun survey of the "weirdest languages", defines as those that exhibit the most features from the World Atlas of Language Structures (WALS):

The only recurring software payments I am comfortable with are for content companies like Netflix and Spotify. That's because I feel like I am getting a better deal continuously buying temporary access to a universe of content than permanently buying just a handful of things for the same dollar. I am prepared to let go of all that content when I eventually discontinue service.

I am very uncomfortable with a recurring payment for software, because I tend to adopt and keep the same workflows for a long time. I prefer free software because I don't have to worry about some parent entity suddenly making a later version incompatible with my current version (if that happens, someone could just fork it, e.g., MariaDB).

I have considered home security SaaS, like Ring or something, but I feel conflicted about the tradeoffs around superior security and privacy concerns.
Although it's not quite the same, _pro_noun dropping[0] is fairly common in some languages and even happens in English under some circumstances (generally in either very informal or highly technical communications). In contexts where inference is easy there's a certain logic to dropping nonessential fillers.

> Seems like that language would be incompatible with a modern society and would only really work for a primitive one.

I don’t know, it sounds like the exact opposite to me: I rarely care about the distance itself, and disambiguating would be as simple as pairing travel time and travel mode.

That is already a pretty normal thing to do e.g. “the grocery store is 5mn away”, possibly with the addendum that it’s on foot / by car / by bike if’s not obvious from context.

On React, people talk about it especially for it being a UI tool.

But the most significant feat React achieved IMO is how easy to write asynchronous hiearchical actors (from actor model) with it (kind of like erlang vm).

Context enables dependency injection and ownership management. Effect and state enables object ownership and lifetime management. Js timers, (i.e. setTimeout, setInterval, queueMicrotask, promise/async), help making an object living asynchronously as if it has its own private thread.

Yes, those are similar concept of lifetime and ownership Rust have, but instead of functions/blocks the object (value in memory) is owned by/shared with components. And of course these are not enforceable by compilers/transpilers/linters due to them not being a javascript-primitive, but at least React helps organizing those things in a lot more explicit and clear manner.

It's true that alphabets are easy to learn. But, in my opinion, all of this opining about language differences is navel gazing. Human languages are all fundamentally the same. The differences are cosmetic. That's the Chomskyan hypothesis and it seems true to me.

> Foreign languages really become hard when they have features that do not appear in your own—things you never imagined you would have to learn. Which is another way of saying that languages slice up the messy reality of experience in strikingly different ways.

It does not follow that languages having different features results in "slicing up reality differently". That's only true if you believe some form of Sapir-Worf.

> Danish, for instance, does not have a word for “wood”; it just uses “tree” (trae).

Danish does have a word for wood...it's just the same as the word for tree. This is like saying English is weird because we say "he likes to fish" and "he eats fish" (or "he fishes" and "the fishes are swimming"). Fish is a noun and a verb, how weird! No, it's not weird at all, though it proves that context is important in understanding (no kidding).

> Russian splits blue into light (goluboi) and dark (sinii)

Great, and in English dark blue might be "navy".

All languages are easy to learn if you have to learn them. The people who think "Arabic and Chinese are hard" are people who don't have to learn them, they're doing it as a hobby or for school. If you're thrown into a situation where you need to acquire a language, odds are you'll figure it out.

This topic (differences between natural languages) always ends up as amateur sociology like "foreigners see things differently". It might be true but there's no evidence for it. Or all the evidence is baseless speculation that relies on assuming Sapir-Worf. To me, it all sounds like "inuits have 87 words for snow".

This is an interesting approach. I also dislike the current architecture they are pushing. Actions can break any time. Makes pipelines/actions very fragile and as you pointed not portable either.

The portability could be fixed by having a local cli runner that understand action yamls. Would be interesting to explore this.

For a while i have been fantasizing about an universal pipeline language. Like having LLVM with a unified model that can translate into different vendor implementations.
I think a lot of problems I see regularly are around standards. Think about the problem of PDF extraction. It's not that computers can't do that, it's just that PDFs aren't governed by a standard that makes it easy for everyone to just adopt and do. The difficulty of a winning "solution" isn't about making some new document scheme that solves all the problems (I'm sure this has been done) but getting people to universally use it.

I worked in an office with an on-site bike mechanic. His job wasn't to specifically serve the staff but he would help us often, at a company where most people biked to work.

Well-maintained vehicles break down less, and the mechanic would often make people let him change their bald tires or lube their rusty chains. No doubt it kept people from being late to work, or having to take time out of their work day to bring their bikes to a shop.
