The philosophy of incompatible upgrades is brutal for popular languages, IMO.

The main issue is not that I give you X amount of time now please fix it coz you have generous time now.

The cost of such a change is ENORMOUS.

As an example, in a recently IPO'd company we had a team of engineers and we had 6 months of work for 10 engineers, round the clock, to fix the Python 2 to Python 3 migration issues alone! and the original creators of the code were long gone! .. and I could only imagine the plight of thousands of other folks in similar boats and other resource constrained boat-less entities!

Then there are distributed packages and libraries that are used by a large set of audience that are dev complete and no longer maintained as such. The cost of fixing those are much much higher.

It makes one more than wince at the thought of going through this exercise again.
Right, that was the assumption I was alluding to at the end of my comment. That said, it still doesn't fully resolve the question and unfortunately leaves the statement in handwaving territory still. 'boring' isn't really a measurement we can take and discuss super effectively, but we do have actual metrics across visual datasets that span basically all of what you might see as a human.

By chance, are you aware of any research on this topic?
Sadly there's nothing "instant" about this... Takes a long time to load and it's pretty clunky once it does.
Yes, I can see your point. If you click through to the next step though, you should assume that submitted the form. Regardless of whether it was done through an old school POST or Ajax in a single page app.

I think it's still a dark pattern to email someone who hasn't expressed interest in receiving those emails. There should at least be text informing you of that and giving a way to opt out up front.

TSMC is in the process of installing foundries in both the US and Japan. Imagine where we'd be if they weren't in existence. And how many decades they've been doing their thing. What a stupid assertion around risk. The WSJ should do an article about how the fact that most bicycles are manufactured in Taiwan poses global a risk to public health and transport (or whatever you fit in the blank).
Does anyone else think this is an absurd way in which the department can reward itself for encouraging systemic misconduct? If, in aggregate, the department encourages officers to push the boundaries of misconduct, they end up getting free labor every time the officers step over the line. The incentives seem grossly reversed.

If anything, you'd want a system where misconduct causes aggregate officer availability to decrease, giving police departments an incentive to reduce misconduct rates if they want more resources.

I had almost the exact same experience with the neck pain and headaches. Also as others said in the thread, it doesn't feel like a decision when it comes time to leave, it feels like an inevitability. My situation was the contract I was on was won by a different prime, one who came in with an unstated but heavily implied by work and meeting load of lots of unpaid overtime.

> Unless social media companies start penalising polarising content and rewarding more constructive posts,

Twitter and Facebook are not shy about having a hand in the conversation. If anything they reward polarizing content, and they've shown interest in censoring wrongthink, but do they have any interest in turning down the temperature?

To some of the other commenters talking about it being a privilege: turns out that making a lot of money is often associated with shit culture, yes. Probably not a ton of fun driving a few keys up 95 either.

The tweet is cool. He found something that suits him. He does the job and it's done, he has enough money, and he's satisfied. That's a happy existence.
There's an interesting discussion raging on elsewhere in the thread about the possibility for cultural adaptation that would enable us to cope with statements like "the cancer test was positive, but there's still a decent chance you don't have cancer".

There's also an interesting question, taking your roughly 1:1 true to false positive ratio as an example, of whether the marginal true positive does more good for the world than the marginal false positive.

Side-stepping those questions though, they probably won't give this test to literally every person in the population. How much does the picture improve when you give this only to people over 50? Or only smokers? You could still massively increase effective screening for cancer with a cheap and easy test if you combine it with enough population filtering to increase the true positive/false positive ratio to something like 70-90% rather than the 50%
It is not about any single patch, you can't assess value of any patch objectively.

For starters there isn't even an objectively established definition of value. You can't objectively measure something that only has subjective definitions.

In a free market you could say that the price could be proxy for the value (ie how much somebody can pay for it should at least theoretically correspond to its value for that person). But how you do that for an open source project?

I'll jump on your thread because it's similar in some ways. I'm learning Forth and more importantly, how to implement Forth from scratch. I'm targeting bare metal Raspberry Pi (especially the Zero at first). Looks like someone already combined bare metal Pi stuff from Alex Chadwick and an arm port of jonesforth (by Richard WM Jones which is in assembly but runs on Linux x86) but it also uses a lot of C libraries and stuff that they've added for USB keyboards etc and I just want everything to be a minimal assembly kernel and then build up from there in Forth itself. This is the branch that has taken things the farthest that I ran across: https://github.com/Avoncliff/pijFORTHos
You're very fiery, but you're really ignorant about anarchism. The largest anarchist movement (historically) was the spanish one, with millions of members, and they were obsessed with procedure. Most anarchist movements are like this, because you need a lot of procedure to make consensus decision making function.

Also, libertarianism isn't historically connected with anarchism.

They are mass collecting the data. They have more data than they know what to do with. Bioinformatics abuses data science at levels comparable to Google and Facebook.

They are getting quality samples from the population. But it's not a simple as "high enzyme = maybe good chance of cancer". How are you going to get those enzymes from their blood in a way that can be applied to the general population? Before that, how do you know there's not confounding factors (of which they are a LOT)?

This is what people think the activation of genes is. What they THINK the activation of genes is.

Note the following:

- They don't know all the genes. They are constantly identifying new ones. The number of gene pathways people are pretty sure are complete is small. I don't know if this one is one of the "pretty sure" ones.

- Gene pathways are not just complex in terms of size, they are also non-linear. This is not a computer program, this is a horrible biological mess where biological components constantly and probabilistically emit chemicals.

I don't even think that the pathway I gave you is super representative - it doesn't feature the ridiculous non-linearity and uncertainty that many pathways at the bleeding edge have. They can get much worse.

Hey congrats! I have been using Clojure professionally for 9 years and absolutely love it. A really important concept I tell all the new Clojurists at work:

Clojure is simple.

Nearly everything is just (function arg1 arg2 ...), even at a fundamental language level. It's actually our background experience in complex languages with all kinds of wacky syntax that makes Clojure seem hard at first. But it's very simple. So if you can't remember the syntax or why something is the way it is, step back and you'll realize it's just (function arg1 arg2 ...).

For example:

(defn add-these [x y] (+ x y))

is still just

(function arg1 arg2 arg3)

Where:

function = defn

arg1 = add-these (a symbol)

arg2 = [x y] (a vector)

arg3 = (+ x y) (an expression, which itself is just (function arg1 arg2))

You may already know all that, but regardless I hope it's encouraging because the bottom line is Clojure is easer than you think and you can do it! :-)
Genuine question: what do you think "defund the police" means?

That isn't exactly switching engines. That's the Vulkan renderer they're working on. It is a component of the same engine they're already using.
I suspect that there are varying amounts of return on effort, and that their strategists have learned that in a two party ONLY system, with low voter turnout regularly, that just agitating those already on your side to do something, in any way that happens, is more return on effort than convincing people or other variations.

There are feedback effects within their decision making that dampen and then eliminate new ideas, which reinforces "return to the party line" and opposite of "take our group in a new direction with this idea" ; anti-evolution basically..
Hearing stuff like this a lot recently, I always think about the often repeated vision that Keynes had, saying that we (his grandchildren) would be working 15 hour work weeks. I think our economy is so rich and efficient now, that scenario could actually exist, but everyone is still duped by the workaday culture infinitely persisting the 40 hour work week idea.

Before I'm barraged with "what about people in the service industry!?" I do confess, I'm not sure what the argument would be - indeed, some people are perhaps only working part time at those positions, perhaps maybe around that 15 hour figure. But for those who work full time in the service industry, I guess I'm not sure what there leverage could be - raising the minimum wage perhaps? But that argument is age old and I've heard pros and cons both for and against. Also, in a country like the US where are social programs are far behind most of places like the EU for example, it's especially hard to argue or expect anything to actually become a reality for some of those service jobs. I guess only time will tell.
I've noticed this hilarious thing where within the left leaning media sphere, the only verbs that Ocasio-Cortez and to a lesser degree Bernie ever engage in is "slamming".

They don't eat, sleep, debate, propose, or discuss. They just slam 24/7.

I’m aware of the wiki article but that’s not any official position. In the very least anyone can edit that wiki.
I take it you don't know many government or union workers? What evidence do you want? Find one and have a conversation with them. You'll discover that this is common in most any workplace where PTO converts to actual dollars. Much of the private sector, and especially tech, doesn't operate under that kind of system, so it wouldn't make sense for those workers to do it, but in ones where it does it's definitely common to bank some fraction of one's annual PTO with the expectation that it will become money, at some point (often retirement). It's not at all unusual for mid-career workers in those work situations to have several months of PTO so saved.

Yeah, I noticed myself that my information was stuck in the "good old Go times" when things were still (too) simple, and updated my statement above...
It’s a bit presumptuous to assume everyone has a soul sucking commute. Most of my jobs I’ve had a 10 minute commute.

I’ve decided to take a longer commute now (30ish minutes) but it’s not a big deal because it’s in a place where I was going many times a week anyway and had to do the commute then too. Also, it’s going to be hybrid now and isn’t 5-days/week probably.

I disagree, simply. There's so many novel UX patterns in websites and apps, it's impossible that you've got a clear idea of what is or isn't a dark pattern in every circumstance.

Uber Eats used to have a "$0" option for tipping, but removed it, it's no longer clear if you're going to be giving a tip or not, but if you don't click anything you don't actually give a tip. Is that a dark pattern? I think so, because the UX makes it seem like you have to select something, and that no isn't an option. But it's not hard to argue in the negative, since doing nothing will not take money from you.

That's an interesting way to put it. Throughout 2020 I felt that way. I just could not force myself to work, and I've been in the workforce a while (I'm 39 and had a job non-stop since I was 12). I know how important it is to maintain income. I was thrown into a new position where I didn't know how to do the work, so I was trying to figure everything out with a new platform, and I was mostly isolated without any help. That situation and the pandemic crushed me.

I've had a lot of hard times in life, including the end of a relationship that for some reason left me with tremors in my hands for a couple years afterwards. That eventually went away. I know what suffering is, I can push through it for sure.

Today I'm in the same job, but I think I burned a few work relationships. Not on purpose, I certainly didn't want to. But I'm able to again get myself to work, I no longer feel like I can't control my own actions.

I think everything above is not burnout, but I've never had the luxury of burnout. I'm on my own and I think lose my marriage if I lost my income, I don't want that to happen, so it's do or die. I'm expecting to die early of cancer or other ailment but with no family support financially/emotionally/psychologically, in fact they drain people.. it's pretty much my place in life to make a rich man richer and that's the end of it. I'm happy I can at least be my own man and hold a job. My journey has changed my political view on the world, I started off being one of those competent, capable right wing guys. I still am competent and capable, but I now view the world as unnecessarily harsh on those not born at the finish line. I believe for people that reach retirement age, at bare minimum, Social Security should be guaranteed to be there waiting.
Burnout is real, but I built a website for the side business I just started and I'm available for react/C# gigs.
