Composability is not about syntax but being able to express code as values. You can have complex behaviors from pure functions that are guaranteed to work and can be recomposed into more and more complex structures.

It's not a big thing of course with such a simple example, but just try to program without defining a single function and you'll see how tiresome it soon begins to write everything out manually.

> One of the problems in the US is that you have to 'go way out there' to get really cheap housing ... but you cant walk to anything ... you need a car. Which is a pain.

Couldn't agree more. I also think this is the root of many problems in American culture. Everyone has social pressure to own a car and live that lifestyle, but it just raises the bar for poor people needlessly when towns and cities could be structured differently.
That works great in theory. But look at all the comments here. Hundreds of people posted comments, and thousands read them within a few hours. A few months from now, SEO will ensure that this page will have been visited by a few million people googling "Amazon hire to fire." The majority of comments doesn't start with "hey guys, this is obviously all just fake BS," and instead you see a lot of hatred being pointed at Amazon. And this is just HN, which is going to have smarter people than any other place reporting on this topic. So, no, the suggestion you made is not a workable solution and we need a better one.
This argument assumes even distribution of wealth, which is a remarkably bad assumption. Most consumers are put in the position of having to choose between different variations of economic survival and weighing in options like carbon-neutrality is often completely out of the question in favor of other products that are cheaper (granted, they're only cheaper because "the elites" have found a way to externalize the costs of their production onto the rest of society).

So yes, when the distribution of wealth is enormously skewed towards the elites, and production follows capital, it is absolutely the fault of "the elites."

Yeah it's possibly a little snobby but most forms of music before 1900 i.e. 'classical' even if not technically classical period ... are 'long form'.

So pieces will be 10-20 minutes as opposed to 3 minutes.

That allows for a different listening experience.

I suggest something different for working: light EDM.

EDM is not designed to be 'actively listened to'. It's designed for your body, not your ears, it's generally 'beat and rhythm founded' instead of 'melody, chord and phrasing founded' - and so you can have it on for much longer and still use your mind for work.

Drum Circles last for hours, you can have a conversation while enjoying it.

So you don't waste great music while working away, you can burn the tedium of mediocre electronica all without looking for the dopamine chorus / mega riff.
I hope StackOverflow can continue to be a great source for accurate information, it was hard to find good quality information before they started.

Two things I'd wish I had done:

1. Mine a lot of bitcoins back when it was just starting out.

2. Asked Jeff Atwood author of codinghorror.com if he had an extra spot on the team for this new venture called StackOverflow.

Here is a link to Jeff talking about the ideas behind StackOverflow back in 2008.

In our org, the cluster operators manage which clusters are open for onboarding vs. closed to new projects but running for existing projects (based on various scaling limits, some of which are cloud-specific). We don't ask developers to choose what's healthy and what's not. Our internal tooling simply only offers "open" clusters.
That is technically correct today. But that is because there are many problems with renewables that only really start to appear at scale.

In the United States - many utilities gave up literal free money from the Federal Government on renewable deployment because it was creating problems with the grid at like, 2% of use.

In this context, it refers to the tenure of the Amazonian. Full time employees that are <5 years tenure have a badge with a blue border, those with 5-10 years tenure have an orangeish border, 10-15 have a red border, etc...

Orange/red badges are typically a big deal because it is very rare for people to last at Amazon past even 2-3 years, nevermind 5 years.
I don't think that was an argument, I think it was an answer to the command in the title.

> Why would your mind go to only "white" classical music?

Because the literal definition of "Classical Music" is Western music from the period of 1750 to 1820. The "Classical Period". [1] It is by definition music from old white dudes from Europe.

I understand where you're coming from with that. I'd argue that it's not terribly effective and that it does more harm in preventing research on these drugs than it helps by keeping people from using it.

> I am thus convinced that philosophers ENJOY the mud, not the clarity.

As in programming, there's some truth to this, in that needless complexity can afford a certain job security.

But you've ignored another possible interpretation, which is that the subject matter is muddy. Until Frege, Russell, et al, not even mathematicians had a clear notion of "inference" or "proof"; it was always a case of "I can't define it, but recognize it when I see it".

Until, suddenly, we did define it, and all the muddy conversations that came before now seemed misguided. We see this movement very clearly in all sciences, but I especially like examples from the history of mathematics, e.g. when Paul Gordan said, of Hilbert's finiteness theorem, that "This is not Mathematics. This is Theology."

John Searle once said that "philosophy is the asking of questions that come naturally to children, and answering them with methods that come naturally to mathematicians". Once those methods are sufficiently formalized, the problem domain simply leaves philosophy and becomes some part of mathematics, or a new empirical science.

This comes off as extremely self-indulgent, because it is, since almost every school of philosophers is trying to take some muddy conceptual domain and give it shape and structure, to help the subject along the path towards quantitative inquiry.

Think of philosophical schools as analogous to systems architectures: with an eye towards certain desiderata, they're laying foundations for the rest of the system as it is likely to eventually exist.

How much of the differentiation here is because Microsoft is innovating better versus simply their size and ability to use existing sales pipelines and bundling to push these types of features/products? This article even includes a Teams versus Slack graph in it - I can't help but feel sorry for smaller players who will see a gigantic incumbent unfairly eat their lunch without performing the hard work of innovation in the first place.

We did vote for them, and I absolutely agree.

The one problem with that is the equation is not that simple.

Most of our so-called leaders come from a completely different class than the rest of us, or were inducted into that class through their networks. They spend billions to make sure that everything goes their way. Unfortunately, you don't just have people voting for leaders; you have leaders pushing propaganda to influence thought patterns to make people vote for whomever has the most resources, and alternative voices are pushed off the stage before most people have a chance to change their minds.

Voters are to blame, but those with the most power aren't absolved just because the voters give them their value. That value is also mined from the public through careful manipulation.

It would be really nice if there was some indication of errors in your script. I typo'd some of the tutorial code and it took me a minute to see what was going wrong (no errors in the console?). Also auto-complete on game functions is really needed. It will apparently auto-complete regular/core JS stuff but not game-specific methods. It looks like the starfield is limited to original browser size and resizing the browser window will not resize the starfield (which sucks if you load up the page with a small window, lots of panning around to see stuff).

The Brewing Political Battle over "Critical Race Theory"
I fully agree. Philosophy is full of irregular thinkers whose only common trait seems to be the willingness to go into absurd depth about an idea.

What is always interesting to me is how you can spend a large amount of study in the subject and still end up finding out about a new philosopher (I’m going to read some Deleuze now.). For me, David Lewis has been the most interesting philosopher in the last 50 years. Maybe Thomas Nagel as well.
> there just don’t seem to be many developers contributing to OBS that care at all about Mac as a platform

This has definitely become a trend as of late. If I had to guess, the lead devs are (rightfully) frustrated that Apple depreciated OpenGL so quickly for a proprietary solution that nobody really likes working in. Furthermore, maintaining a Metal compositor would be a royal pain in the ass, since there's no real middleware layer to help with debugging or tuning.

Honestly can't blame the poor people. Maintaining Mac software is a neverending chore.

> With the introduction of the TV in the 60s, the PC in the 90s and the smartphone in the last decade, we have changed the main way of consuming information

That's what people used to say a decade after the printing press was invented too.

And the bit about music is ridiculous; elitism based on ignorance. Anyone claiming that only their favorite genre is acceptable to listen to either has a too high opinion of themselves or has been missing out on >99% of available content, perhaps even due to a fear of "overstimulating" their mind.

Some idle time now and then, maybe at a regular walk outside, is definitely helpful not only for creativity. But that doesn't mean the rest of the daily activities are bad. At least for me I'd say both are necessary.
Ja true, but don't we Saffers all wish we bought more Naspers on the JSE before their gamble on Tencent.
The only worthwhile advice here is to turn off notifications.
A famous example: the is-odd and is-even libraries. It's not the kind of function that would be appropriate for a stdlib in my opinion, and yet developers who presumably don't know about the modulo operator incorporate these libraries into their projects at a high enough rate to engender 700,000/week of downloads.

Even with all the basic functions one could hope for being brought into JS' core, there will still be tons of bizarre micro-libraries like these in the npm repository being used by developers who rely on libraries first when it comes to any given feature, because doing so is part of JS culture for the reasons I outlined before.
Frankly, you don't understand fashion. Fashion is not a new industry, nor is it parasitic. It's one of the oldest forms of self-expression and it makes lots of people feel better, not worse. Fitting in is always going to be stressful, but it's stressful because it's so important for social creatures like us. Fashion is simply a tool that helps people fit in. If you figured out a way to fit in that doesn't involve fashion, then power to you, but that doesn't invalidate thousands of years of people enjoying clothes.
I understand what you mean. The fact remains that having a local and accurate source of time reduces the ability for an attacker to move a target off course through spoofing.

At each frame the attacker has to add to the error in the victim's position. By limiting how much error the attacker can add at each frame, you limit how much damage the attacker can do.

There are other systems involved here, including accelerometers and gyros, that together with a kalman filter allow the moving system to estimate the state, read values, and output new states based on a combination of those inputs. Less uncertainty in time allows for more precise predictions and more rejection of invalid inputs.

Read the link in my original post if you don't believe me:
"If GPS is disrupted or jammed, a CSAC could provide precise time to the GPS receiver to enable rapid recovery or to protect receivers from GPS spoofing, a condition where false GPS signals are broadcast to fool GPS receivers with erroneous information. The hope is that the Soldier wouldn't even know that his GPS is being jammed," Olson said. "
There are much better articles on the topics of digital addictions, and as a bonus, they come without the paternalistic writing style. "Listen to classical music only!" OK grandpa.

He does have a point when he mentions that music in the Spotify era is produced in industrial quantities, and can be quite generic. I also do agree that playlists engender a tendency to rapidly switch from song to song, compared to listening to a full album. But you can't fix that with classical music. If people wanted to seek it out themselves, they would.

See previous comment. Alcohol clearly is.
Print houses are increasingly using the same source and layout files for printed books as they are for ebooks. This means that there is little to no difference or extra cost to produce the alternate media version here.

I totally agree that an audio book has an entirely different production path and it's own entirely different staff and company that needs to make it's own costs back. But that argument is becoming less and less relevant for physical vs digital books.

Many non-traditional/smaller publishers and printers, such as No Starch Press, offer free copies of the ebook version when you purchase the physical copy and offer the digital copy at a reduce price compared to print.

Always funny to see a European head to a "US-Centric" site just to constantly take jabs at the US, which your posting history confirms.

For future reference, and to realign your stereotypes.
The sentence you quoted says the manager “wouldn’t, or shouldn’t” hire these candidates. In my understanding, this means they aren’t needed, not that they aren’t qualified. That’s the essence of the “hire to fire” practice - hiring someone not because you need them to do the job, but because you need to meet your firing quota.

For a person to get placed on a team at Amazon, the manager must be making some representation that they need another employee. Amazon isn’t going to waste headcount by giving it to managers who don’t ask for it. This means managers have control over whether hires are joining their team. Therefore a manager can execute the plan of hiring to fire. It doesn’t matter whether they have the power to approve a specific candidate.

I don't think this really addresses the core issue, being that experimentation is used as an excuse to not apply the results of the experiments after they've been performed.

I don't think the idea is that experimentation is de facto bad. It's the use of experimentation as a tool to avoid implementation following experimentation that's being decried.
You're right, dopamine dieting is much better. Dopamine veganism, if you will. Humans didn't evolve this crappy hormone because we were surrounded by stimuli, but exactly because we weren't. You gain nothing by being stimulated.

My reasoning is it's an entire profession to measure flavour profiles and quantities of food additives, hooks and drops in songs, microtransaction timings in games, et cetera. The science is clear, we simply ought to apply it in reverse.

I'm fairly certain the average neanderthal would feel ill after drinking a 500ml Monster and listening to djent.
It's not an unreasonable assumption given the website's graphics all focus on Western European classical art, it's even in the hyperlink. How often do such people mean classical music of non-European genres when they refer to classical?
The blogger uses Big-C Classical Big-M Music, which almost always means European classical music, pre-1900 [0]. You won't find many non-white composers in that particular group.

Capitalization matters, it creates a proper name out of something whether we agree on that name's appropriateness or not (Classical Music being so narrowly defined could be considered a misnomer, as you've pointed out there's a lot more classical music out there).

[0] I couldn't remember when I initially wrote this when the Classical Period ended, it ended earlier in the 1800s than I realized, by the common definition apparently 1820. The start was 1730 (using the earliest time people use to be generous) so "Classical Music" defines a period of less than one century of, specifically, European music.
