Yeah, apparently they can be domesticated relatively easily, at least one generation at a time. My understanding is that the process has to be repeated with their offspring, so they aren't truly a domesticated animal (yet).

At least some sources say they make good pets... but probably not for people who already have house rabbits, I imagine.
Do you really think Linus works 9-5? I assure you he doesn’t.

I’ve also developed and led teams that developed many OSS projects and very successful consumer applications. Not once did I micromanage my team’s working hours. They make their own schedules as people know best when they can produce good output.
Public apologies tend to be performative, not sincere, hence the pile on of negative stuff.

Sincere public apologies do tend to result in people going "You my bitch and whenever I'm an ass, I expect you to kiss my ass and say it's somehow your fault."

Public apologies tend to be a bad idea overall. It's a minefield of potential serious problems.
TV changed everything. There were some clubs in England that protested TV broadcasts of games entirely because they were afraid it would devalue the game-day and club experience.
Perhaps they were right.
We experimented with this, as well as with trial periods (which are sort of the same thing, but with a time limit). Trial periods ended up being easier to think about and optimize (each account either converts or not at the end of the period). But we may revisit this in the future.
We had a VAX at U. Hartford as of 2005, not sure if it’s still running. By the time I got to college I already had several years of Unix experience and was confident I could use its command line. I found it very strange and tricky to use. One thing that stood out was that I could create multiple files with the same name and path, which felt very strange. I wish I had time to explore it further.
Hey! Sorry to hear about this — the core of the problem you’re facing I expect is that build tooling struggles very much with large CSS files, so no matter how fast you can generate the CSS, if it’s like 8mb because you have a rich config file and you’re in development so you’re not purging, the overall build is going to be slow. We’ve tested this a bunch by feeding static CSS files of this size into webpack without having Tailwind in the build process at all.

The JIT engine is our solution to this, and ensures the CSS file is never large so it never causes these issues. We have done a ton of work to iron out bugs in the new engine between 2.1 and 2.2 so I would definitely give it a shot and see how it goes.

Consider even using our new CLI tool to compile your CSS instead of integrating it into your Ember build step — on the biggest project we’ve tried (over 400 template files, some thousands of lines long), the new CLI compiles the CSS in about 400ms, and incremental rebuilds when you save a template file take 3–10ms.
Yes, there is a mix of denial and misunderstanding about the nature and weaknesses of the human mind.

Controlling addictive behaviors requires the full cooperation of the subconscious part of ourselves, this is easier said than done, and I have not seen anyone succeeding while being miserable.
> Rehab is more expensive than jail

Inpatient treatment is more expensive per day than jail, sure. But not all treatment is inpatient, and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to compare per day, anyway. There’s plenty of studies showing that treatments saves money compared to (and especially in) criminal justice.
Honestly? I think I'm occasionally intelligent but usually just clever.

Threat Actors Use Google Docs to Host Phishing Attacks
I believe a bit of the difficulty that new grads have with trying to find employment is a combination of:

* Reluctance to move / restrictions on where they want to move (only SF, Seattle, NYC)

* Extreme focus on product development (and not applying for the operations jobs that keep many large orgs running).

* Focus on working for a high salary at a big tech company (and not applying to jobs at companies that aren't seen as big tech... say... this job - https://csx.taleo.net/careersection/basic_faceted_search/job... )

I believe that there is extreme saturation in certain desirable sectors of the field and "where is everyone?" in other areas.

Covid didn't cause the semiconductor shortage
> 'strengthening' neurons with a fiber like substance around it reduces the electrical activity required to achieve the same neural-result.

I think you're talking about myelination, which is a result that's been around for quite a while. Myelination probably wouldn't confound this kind of "brain reading" because it's relatively stable, i.e. changes occur over the course of days at a minimum, and supposedly infrequently in the fully developed brain. Any "brain reading" will have to account for changing neural efficacies, as that's what learning is, and the tricky stuff would be learning on the scale of seconds or minutes (e.g. changes in synaptic efficacy) rather than things like myelination.

That being said, while the conventional wisdom is that myelin is stable over the course of months/years in the adult brain, perhaps it's results suggesting more ongoing myelin plasticity that are the more recent results you're referring to (a general trend in recent neuroscience). If so, I'd love to see those studies.

Disclaimer: I'm soooo skeptical of this kind of extracranial signals being used for "unlocking the brain's secrets." There's lots you can do with those signals, sure, just look at the past decades of EEG research. But they seem to be wanting to go far deeper with fundamentally the same technology, which seems like a dicey proposition to me. So while I think there are lots of potential critiques of this technology, I just don't think myelination is the critique to go with.
It's not strange at all because "now" does not assert "in the past few years" or something. It's just in contrast to when the technique was first developed.

Like, do you think there was a long-standing issue with people not paying their bills because the liens weren't enshrined in law, and a bunch of clever legislators got the brilliant idea to introduce it? No! It's been happening since before laws were written down, and the formal laws were crafted to fit this existing custom.

Creating a Trustworthy Reviews Experience
The article lists general issues faced by many countries (racism, changes to capitalism {really the Labour Market} and social media) and acts like they're solely or particularly American. They're not.

Also the EU hasn't regulated social media beyond requiring them to put cookie warning up and do some gdpr shuffling. That's why we have all the same extremism and antivax bs floating about. Pretending otherwise makes me question whether the author actually knows (or cares) what the facts are.

Also also, calling it a riot is factually inaccurate. It was a failed insurrection. The aims of the perpetrators (assassination of officials, overthrow of an election etc) are well beyond enything rioters have ever hoped for. Or maybe the whole American revolution would be better referred to as the American kuffuffle.

Good answer.

Though "ask for forgiveness" seems like a specific cultural/quasireligious thing that not everybody assigns meaning to.
In the original General Fusion plan: Pneumatic pistons which strike anvils in the chamber wall creating a shockwave which implodes the liquid wall with fusion-igniting pressures.

I think they may have moved away from that in favor of big pneumatic pistons pushing tiny piston heads directly into the liquid though. Mechanical advantage is the area ratio, which you can easily make quite large.

I have a weirder version of this problem that's less debilitating but annoys people who live with me -- if I pass by a door I will automatically lock it with no memory of having done so, even seconds after. Like kleptomania but for locking doors. If I'm within five feet of a door it's as if a magic force emanates from my body to lock it as far as my own awareness is concerned.

One of my roommates in college was carrying in groceries, put his keys down on the counter, and went out to get a second load. I was reading a book, passed the door, locked it, and walked upstairs, completely oblivious, stranding my roommate outside.

They referred to this as "getting Lars'ed out" from then on.
Pretty sure it's 10% of $100 and so according to Amazon "This brings total program benefits up to an equivalent of 90 percent of revenue."
The thing is, you know nothing for sure, everything you say is pure speculation, and you are confidently commenting about the situation. If you know nothing, why make up speculation out of thin air?

You should make sure you're not about to start chasing sunk costs. If you're familiar with AWS already and GCP is unusable, do some napkin math on the cost of migrating to AWS.

Maybe more important: if this kind of scaling-up/quota issue occurs again on their GCN account further along in development, it could be a serious show-stopper. That would really concern me.

Wow, it's actually amazing to me that this is the first time you have articulated this to anyone - thanks for sharing!
This is not imperative to do in-house. My company (*shameless plug for Astute Internet) has expertise in those areas you describe, and will provide and/or support the edge network infrastructure for small ISP's in exchange for selling them some of those services (we're a mini-carrier and value added reseller) and charging a nominal retainer to be an available path of escalation 24/7. Due to our purchasing volume and industry knowledge, we are able to sell these services for the same or less than what our customers would be able to negotiate on their own, while getting a lot of support from us in the process.

Although this type of knowledge and expertise is rather specialized, we are able to focus on these specific areas without getting involved in the intricacies of the downstream side of our clients' networks, thus avoiding the need for us to have too much client specific or institutional knowledge. This has worked out very well with the handful of eyeball networks we're currently working with in the Pacific Northwest, and we intend to more actively extend this line of business down the coast in the near future.
Talking privately to a bully rarely works. And the the one bully wasn't really the problem here. It was a social system that not only ignored his bullying but actively supported it. The real audience here is the broader community, which now has to decide what they want to do about the problem Butterick has been generous enough to explain in detail.
I think I get where they're coming from now, but ultimately I feel that it's a misguided take.

- TFA: Founders suffer from depression, and some have a difficult time getting support from their peers, because their peers are narcissists.

- Parent comment: "Depressed founder claims they can't form a group..." links to an article that's focused on narcissists, not really a resource for a depressed founder.

The trouble with the parent comment is that it's focused on "fixing" the situation with the narcissist social circle, when it may be more productive/appropriate to focus on the founder's immediate needs.

Sure, it's useful to think about ways to improve the behaviors seen in the social circle, but that's not really top of mind for a depressed person.

If I'm depressed, and I go to a friend for support, and they aren't in a place to support me, my next step isn't going to involve trying to change how my friend behaves, or trying to make it possible for them to support me.
PHP long had decent performance, since version 4 iirc when it borrowed the bytecode approach from Perl and afterwards afaik was pretty much on par with it. Remember that even with FastCGI the vastly prevailing model of execution for PHP is to start the script just from the bytecode cache every time and destroy everything when it ends. Long-living async apps like with ReactPHP never became any kind of popular, and still PHP is likely the most popular serverside environment on the web (if only because of Wordpress).

Perl and PHP are both likely way better for personal productivity scripting than Python or Ruby, in terms of not waiting for them to get going already. Personally I would like it very much if Lua became as popular, though the absence of proper `null` is bothersome for data exchange.

You make it sound like Rust doesn’t support background CPU computation. Rust has always had threads (https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch16-01-threads.html), along with incredibly powerful libraries like Rayon (https://github.com/rayon-rs/rayon) to take advantage of them.

async/await wasn’t specifically targeted for that use case because it didn’t need to be. But you can use threads with async, if you want, using a multi-threaded scheduler like Tokio with the rt-multi-thread feature flag (https://docs.rs/tokio/1.7.0/tokio/runtime/index.html#multi-t...).

This is how network and navigational databases worked, before modern RDBMS's were introduced. It's very much legacy tech, and skipping the indexing step brings negligible gains if any at all. Where optimizations are worthwhile, they're already being used.

Totally agree but wanted to add a point I found interesting doing some spatial audio work which is synths tend to spatialize poorly compared to more organic instruments. You can dirty them up with additional effects like distortion or an exciter, but I think it’s something to do with the evenness of the waveforms compared to the real world variance of a string or vocal cord vibrating.

So UTILITY is definitely already the basis for any further judgment or antidote. We can say that.

Homebrew is a piece of crap. There's no away to install specific versions of software (unless you dig through the git repo and install using a commit hash). It has a scorched earth policy of wiping out dependencies willy nilly. One time I installed Python 3.8 and it wiped out the version of openssl used with Python 3.7 I used for a client project.
It is startling to have UEFA admit this in the open. I would have expected this to be whispered into the appropriate ears, not announced aloud like this.

Admitting how controlled you are by your sponsors is not a good look for anybody, no?

Fractional reserve banking as a model actually requires deposits in order to make loans, but you're correct in saying that banks do not lend out deposits at all, they in fact create money by lending.

This is the clearest overview of the process I've ever come across, and it's from the Bank of England who should know how :)

One thing I didn't like about TB is that I couldn't see my own score, or how I compared to others. They sent me follow-up emails, tried to engage me in interviews, asked if I had any questions, and when I asked about my score or how it related to others (top N% for example), they didn't even respond.

If a company asks me if I have questions, and I ask them, and they ignore me, I'm done.

I wasn't looking for a job, but thought the test results would be interesting. Who takes a test and doesn't get results?
eh, for a regular financial contract you need lawyers and judges. There is plenty of counterintuitive law that burns people.

For this one you need programmers and computers.

On both cases, if you go in blind or wing it you might get burned.

I think my favourite Yvon Chouinard/Tom Frost story is from the dawn of the Hexentrics path of innovation. They came to realize that pitons, which was their cash cow, was damaging rock. So they innovated against themselves and changed climbing!

Fractional reserve banking is an incorrect model of money creation though, banks in today's world really do create money via lending.

That's not how it works. Courts generally operate by ambiguous standard of what reasonable people and reasonable experts can actually do given the state of technology.

No reasonable software engineer can tell you that a piece of code is flawless. I don't think courts will agree on a system that has been shown through evidence to be highly flawed.
