> Office 365 just destroys Google Docs

I disagree. Office licensing and the whole Microsoft account managament is so incredibly annoying to the point where I prefer the google suite simply because it works. Office recently left me stranded with an outdated license and no way to enable it because the ones in charge were not in office that day, so I went with google, and I'm sticking to it now even though there would be the option to enable to license. I don't want to go through the same hoops and hurdles every 6 months again.
Always nice to see implementation-focused explanations of things that are usually taught/learned by building intuition.

Carmack's public post[2] on the "bug" of strafe-jumping is endearing in light of how much it influenced game design in the following decades.

The trouble here is that people don't become wealthy just because of luck. It plays a part, sure, but people have to play the game and know how it works in order to have even a chance of winning. The trouble is that many people don't even try because they don't know how to.

Becoming wealthy is all about making more money than you spend and investing the rest. Education absolutely helps make more money, especially if you are educated in an in-demand field. Then you have to develop the discipline to spend less than you earn and to know(learn about) how to use an IRA and save from an early age.

My personal finance class in high school was vital for this reason. While not everyone internalized its teachings, those who did have had significantly less stressful lives after they got an emergency fund saved up.

This is a broken management style, carried out by people who have no training in managing company culture or people in general.

It's the same broken idea that Basecamp implemented.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a certain culture within your company. It's healthy to have a shared vision, and shared idea of how you should behave and present yourself. It gives people a sense of belonging and a community around their work. That culture needs to be implemented with actions, and by the leadership behaving according to that culture, not by sending out a memo.

If the problem is that some people are aggressively pushing a certain politic or behaviour not tolerated by the company, then you deal with those individuals directly.

Trying to manage by memo is like being back in school when your teacher would complain endlessly about those students who doesn't show up. You just end up sitting there an wonder: "Is he complaining about my behaviour? Am I suppose to do something?" and then you get angry, because you have to listen to someone going of about something you have no control over.

Sadly a tendency to avoid interaction with "assholes" and just blasting out a message and expecting the assholes to understand that they are the target of the message. It's not working and it provoking the rest of us, pushing us to a point where we stop careering.

In my experience this is not a position of the left, beyond maybe some fringe <0.1% groups.

Stating that as a "position of the left" as a fact merely reinforces what the GP said: "I think the likely explanation for this conundrum is that people don't support <whatever strawman of the week is used to attack a caricature of a position>. "

This is great example of how an accident can contribute towards such a fun mechanic into a game. This ultimately ended up spawning new game types where a mastery of movement was a key skill.
Yeah, and die area isn't exactly going to be given away on a capacity constrained 5nm wafer line. If you can get the wafer starts at all. Performance per dollar is the only metric that matters, and maybe 7nm or even 14nm performs better at the moment.

DRAM, storage, networking, gpus, accelerators, etc are all eating huge chunks of power. CPU's tiny in comparison. Maybe you save 5% across a datacenter using those fancy unicorn wafers.
There were always tradeoffs involved. A site might be legally required to be accessible, or it may be a business decision. Layouts hacked together with floats were a mess to create and maintain, but tended to adapt better to mobile displays. A competent front-end developer should understand pros and cons and be able to handle both approaches.

Even today you might have to support old internet explorer, so you cant use display:grid.

Of course incompetence can be present on either side of the table in interviews. I have heard about people avoiding display:table in CSS because they heard tables were bad.
That's so much more elegant!

What's the proper pronunciation for those words?
I don't think anyone is claiming anyone wanted it to escape, only that it was very likely, they know it was likely, that's why it had been banned but Fauci overrode the ban then started constantly lying about it and many other things for career and financial reasons.

You make comparison to tech workers. Sure, if someone makes a genuine honest mistake then you can argue they should be retained as they won't make that mistake again. But that does require deep and total honesty. If a tech worker caused an outage and then manipulated management for a year to cover up their involvement, there would be no such leniency.
There's also an insidious pattern where entire layers of management exist strictly to report status to higher layers of management.

It's challenging in such organizations to have meaningful cross-functional communication between the people who do the actual work and who need to understand each other. Why? Because these management layers also [try to] mediate all cross-functional interaction in formalized meetings which they run like court proceedings-- they're called by various names: "hand-offs", "gates", etc. The point is they're one-direction process-flow "ceremonies" that don't have real discussion between the parties involved.

What has to happen to workaround this is that the individuals who need to really communicate must seek each other out informally (or "offline" as the PM-derps would say), sometimes this works, sometimes it's a setup for one party getting snubbed by the other because they're beset with too many meetings.

So yeah, there's often of fat layer of middle management that do bullshit jobs in large-enough orgs.

No. You've lost the train of conversation being developed in the replies.

I'm with you on anything charged monthly, even though I feel Amazon Prime Videos outshines Netflix in terms of good older movies.

That said, I know too many people who renew Prime like it was a church tithing. (Yes--I know about their yearly deal.)

It's not movies these people like either. These people love the formulated crap Netflix vomits.

Your post resonated with me because I try hard to avoid any monthly fees for any product. Plus--unless you order a lot, people are just giving Amazon free money.

You just reminded me to cancel Apple storage.

>> Most of the "Large N" studies are based on "diary data." Essentially, asking people via written surveys to estimate what they typically eat and extrapolating that over years. Yeah, not kidding.

That is one kind of study. There are also studies that measure the amounts of nutrients, or their byproducts, excreted by study subjects. These usually have small study populations or are restricted to hospital patients etc. There are also in vitro studies or in-vivo interventional studies that are most commonly conducted on animal models, like the study in the article.

So like you say, many of the studies that have the largest populations are questionnaire studies, or have populations that are not very representative of the general population. But it's very difficult, if not impossible in practice, to do any other kind of study on a large population, because it's very difficult to observe what a few thousand people eat day-in, day-out. The logistics of such a study would be absolutely mad.

The results of such large-scale diary studies do not have great statistical power, but you are not right to say that there is a "pervasive lack of scientific rigor". A study can be rigorous while having low statistical power. Neither does a study absolutely need to conduct double-blind RCTs to be considered rigorous. For example, cosmologists cannot conduct experiments on black holes. Anyway "rigor" is not well-defined, whereas statistical power is an objective measure that can be calculated from the elements of a study. Whether this is done right is another matter and it depends on the study, but nutrition science is not exceptional in this.

Btw, I'm not a nutritional scientist. But I hear your complain often and while I understand your frustration, I think you're allowing the perfect to be the enemy of the good. We know some things about nutrition, many with low certainty. But, what are we going to do? Ignore all the knowledge and evidence we have because it's not as much or as good as we'd like, and instead ignore the important questions about the food we eat?

Edit: another thing I've noticed is that your comment accuses nutritional science of not being rigorous but at the same time it freely uses concepts from nutritional science, such as "carbohydrates" and "calories". Even grouping foods together in particular groups like "carbs" is a practice that comes from nutritional science. And nutritional science will certainly tell you that carbohydrates are high-energy foods that can cause weight gain if eaten in excess. So you, too, must accept that there is something in the work of nutritional scientsts that is useful to you. In that case, if I were you (if I was trying to adress some problems in the way I eat that is) I'd be very careful not to allow myself to selectively pick only those parts of nutritional science I like, and dismiss all the rest as "sloppy science". It's important to be aware that we all have very strong confirmation biases when it comes to food (me, for example, I make cheese so I'll never, ever believe it can be bad for you).
Nope, the US is not free at all.

There is no inheritance tax. This tax would provide equal opportunities for students to start afresh in a meritocratic society. Instead they are getting a huge headstart.

Getting rich is mostly driven by inheritance, class, luck and sociopathy, not by individual people on the basis of talent, effort and achievement.

The US has extremely expensive schools.

The US favors private contracts over civil rights, which is the base definition of fascism. Your worker is your slave because he signed this contract out of his free will.

The only advantage is the lack of middle management. But calling that freedom is hysterical.

source code size can still be manipulated by using very small identifiers or reusing them.

There should rather be a normalization metric where all identifiers are treated as eight characters long

Resulting binary will be different depending on the compiler and type of optimization and would simply be manipulated by optimizing heavily for size.

Section 230 can be replaced by something which does not allow the abuse which 230 makes possible. The replacement should explicitly disallow censorship, it should only allow the removal of content when ordered to do so by a court. As long as an ISP or hosting provider abides by these court orders they should be protected under the replacement-for-section-230 provisions. An alternative process would resemble the one used in the DMCA but this can only be implemented if there are true penalties on abuse, otherwise there will be a deluge of takedown requests on ideological grounds.

No, this is the problem. Fauci and others in public health have confused everyone with their lies so badly now they're being defended.

There was never a mask crisis. Masks don't work, they have never worked, this had been known for a long time partially because the world went through this exact process with the Spanish flu. And scientists knew that which is why they originally said masks don't work.

This all fell apart quickly because they are collectivists at heart and were being lobbied by political forces that wanted something they could tell everyone to do. The WHO actually admitted this to the bbc! Masks seemed like a good fit, so the scientists promptly jumped on board and started saying masks worked. Problem: how to explain their prior position? So they came up with this double layered lie: we said masks didn't work because it was a noble lie to protect healthcare workers.

But it was never the case. All the documents before March 2020 are consistent on this, including the new Fauci emails.
That was an excellent explanation, thank you.

Dogs are typically strong, fast and dangerous enough so you really can’t do squat if they don’t want to live with you. Well except if you keep them in cages and use weapons and tools to control them.

Their relationship also has utility for them. They use us for problem solving. Civilization is scary and complex.

I also worry sometimes about what you’re trying to convey though.
The difference is tech has a lot more people who went to expensive fancy colleges and private high schools, and have comfortable middle class backgrounds, the military that is the extreme minority. People can talk about diversity, but its not truly diversity they are looking for, as they do not look for political or class diversity. The marines, has a lot of working class background people, and black, white, hispanic, working class people seem to get along just fine with different races without long diatribes about politics.

Tech has these "intelligentsia" activists that want to show they have the right ideas and opinions. Go to a welding shop or mechanic or marines or whatever, and everyone can have different opinions about something and nothing bad happens. People might laugh it off and call someone an idiot, that's about it.
Granted, but it's an anthropologist making the comparison, not a Mormon. I read "difference in kind" as religion vs. not-religion, where Mormon could just as easily be Ishmaeli or Shinto.

> That culture needs to be implemented with actions, and by the leadership behaving according to that culture, not by sending out a memo.

I think the memo saves a lot of people a lot of time and frustration. By actions you mean "not tolerated" in the sense that someone is fired or reprimanded for a set of behaviours then that would raise a lot of questions about what else doesn't fly when working there. It is better that they published a memo.

many of you complained that there is no lightweight way on Linux to have different resolvers for different domains/zones (eg. one default and one for your VPN or whatever).

see https://github.com/azukiapp/libnss-resolver - it's an NSS lib just like libnss_dns or libnss_files, which looks up resolv.conf-style files according to the queried domain suffix.

it's not a deamon.

i integrated it with dhcp client and ifup/down and use it happily for years.

And so it should be. There's hardly anything worse than having things shift around after you start reading, scrolling or clicking on something.

I think it's a very good sign if Google's own sites fail these tests. It means the tests are meaningful.

The dictionary is the authority for what words mean. If someone genuinely wants to "explain" power dynamics they would do so in ways designed to communicate clearly and illuminate. If they want to manipulate and confuse they would try to redefine the meaning of common words to mean something totally different and then accuse people who speak English properly of misusing words.

By the way, sociology is nonsense, surely everyone knows that by now. Their papers are usually pseudo scientific.
It does matter what they got paid in. If they got paid in anything other than shares, I would agree. But the point of shares is that it aligns the economic incentives for the executives and the company. Shares are directly dependent on the economic success of the company. And the ability to employ people and pay them salaries is also directly dependent on the economic success of the company.

If they sell shares and pay employees, then they're not helping the long-term sustainability of the company and its ability to continue hiring people and paying them.

Meritocracy means to get jobs and positions based on your merits (i.e. objective skills and criteria), not birth or connections. Of course, luck will always be part of it but that's unavoidable.

This has been pushed by the Enlightenment and even before because that's the fairest and most just. For example, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 1789:

"All the citizens, being equal in its (the law) eyes, are equally admissible to all public dignities, places, and employments, according to their capacity and without distinction other than that of their virtues and of their talents." (Article 6)

That's what meritocracy means. In the same way as in a fair competition you want the best player(s) to win, not those who know or pay the referee.
It does not mean leaving the poorer and less able fend for themselves on the thinking that perhaps it's their fault if they poor.

Android has had ColorMatrixColorFilter[1] since the beginning and YUV -> RGB conversion is actually an example use case they specify. Problem is, however, that many YUV formats do chroma subsampling, and you can't exactly put that into a regular bitmap without shuffling a lot of bytes around, which kinda defeats the purpose.

I think Graeber makes the assumption that the statement "my job makes no (net) contribution to society" is as closest to reality as we can possibly get.

The interviewed person is probably the best to know if the job is valuable. Even if they falsely assume that their job makes no difference, the sentiment is a problem in itself.

I am not agreeing or disagreeing, just giving my interpretation of the intent.
