There are two (at least) kinds of intuition, the first (which is what it sounds like you're asking about) could be called "hyper-cognition" and can be developed through (self-)hypnosis. The second is what people call "being psychic" where you can access information that should be impossible for you to know by conventional means. These are not distinct, they overlap.

To develop hyper-cognition study hypnosis[1]. To develop the second kind you could try "Core Transformation' process[2].

They are old but check out "Superlearning 2000" and "Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Curtain" both by Sheila Ostrander & Lynn Schroeder

[1] I can recommend "TRANCE-formations" by Bandler and Grinder and "Monsters and Magical Sticks: There's No Such Thing as Hypnosis?" by Steven Heller.

Not disagreeing whether the author hints at some bias with these choice of words, but to interpret this as "anti-capitalist" is absolutely over-the-top. In fact it shows a clear lack of understanding about markets.

> ...they use client-side rendering for static content. In my opinion, this is absurd.

Rendering equations client-side doesn't seem absurd to me. All of HTML and CSS and SVG is rendered client-side, why shouldn't equations be too?

I'm completely unclear why the author thinks equations specifically should be rendered server-side. Do they think HTML pages should be delivered as prerendered images or SVG's too...? Because it seems like the philosophy would apply the same way.
The whole point of the internet stack is to abstract away the details of the lower layers.

This is bad. The bill does not define "hate speech"; that's left for later administrative determination. All we have so far is “expresses detestation or vilification of a person or group on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

Combining "detestation" ("I don't like you") with vilification ("You're evil") is a concern. The first is legitimate opinion. The second is defamation. For which truth is a defense under US law.

The committee report that fed into this bill [1] is scary. "Finding that certain expression falls within political speech does not close off the enquiry into whether the expression constitutes hate speech."[2] This is at least in part about suppressing political speech on certain issues.

YMCA of Canada proposed a definition: "integrate an intersectional gender equity lens and consider the gendered impacts of anti-Black racism, anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and Xenophobia in any definition of “hate” and “online hate”". Think of trying to defend against a claim of that in court.

The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs proposed the IHRA definition of antisemitism, the one that includes some kinds of criticism of the Israeli government.[3]

This isn't classic hate speech, intended to incite people to violence. Such as "Hang Mike Pence". This is far, far broader.

> a hypothetical peanut butter sandwich "recipe"

That's kind of the point - there is no peanut butter sandwich recipe, because you don't need a recipe to make one. If something is fiddly enough to need a recipe, you need the recipe to be at least precise enough that you can actually get the fiddly parts right, and any 'problems' stemming from excess precision can be obviated by an * or ±8grams.

VScode's vim plugin is actually what got me using vscode in the first place. I pretty much never left the terminal until vscodevim.
"Unfortunately, if you were to confront the people engaging in this sort of behavior they would (if they talked to you at all) claim that presumption of innocence is only required in a legal context, not a social context. You see a similar pattern with free speech: people try to defend private censorship by saying that the First Amendment only applies to the government, while ignoring the fact that the amendment is just a legal codification of the general principle of free speech. It's a poor defense in free speech cases and it's a poor defense here, but I'm sure that's the defense you would hear.
It's shocking that so many are unable to grasp the values that generate cultural mores, virtues, and customary law. As you note, the principle of free speech is codified in law. The underlying value is truth. Without the free exchange of ideas humankind cannot arrive at truth. The same with the principle of due process and innocent until proven guilty, without which we cannot arrive at justice, which, in turn, requires ascertaining truth. The practices of free speech and due process are both manifestations of truth-seeking as the virtue by which we find truth. The scientific method is also a codification of truth seeking methods. These people are without principle and seek only power. Truth is their enemy. Evil defined."
I won't touch anything that is almost open source with a ten-foot pole.

> Ironically enough, no discourse is so dogmatic and blind and unable to question its own values than the American one.

This speech seems rather ... hateful. Shall we fine you? Officers! This man is screaming hateful speech in the public arena!

Or maybe you disagree with that being hate speech? In an uncivilized society, if I have the power then it doesn't really matter. You still get fined or worse.

> You can question everything, just not your own values on speech

No, you can still question that in a free society if you so choose. But you may not necessarily be able to in an unfree one.

> You've turned freedom of speech into dogmatic faith.

This is entirely disingenuous. Supporting a philosophical position is not without reason, as you well know, and is not automatically dogmatic.

> It's all just platitudes about authoritarianism and slippery slopes and ironically enough unoriginal, replicated talking points.

Perhaps, you can better explain your dogmatic devotion to your belief that freedom of speech is not an important tenant of modern civility and sophistication?

I feel the same way about some local foods that I grew up with, but I don't support Global Trade Law that would prevent someone else from trying to reproduce (or interpret) the food in question without being required to invent a new name for it.

I think a more equitable (and workable) approach to this problem is to establish organizations whose members a) create defensible trademarks, b) accept memberships from producers who meet quality/regionality/whatever standards, c) promote this differentiation in the market.

There is a random number for each uncomputable number.
That's definitely a fair assessment.

It reads like a lot of self-contained chunks (~15-20 pages per chapter, for most chapters), but right around the halfway mark, there's 100 pages on testing philosophy, which is a slog. Don't get me wrong -- testing is a fundamental aspect of modern software engineering! But I suspect that's why I got to that point and then put it down for a few months.

To harp on the testing section some more, there's some amount of redundancy across the sections. For instance, the unit testing chapter has a page on testing state rather than interactions, and then it's followed by 5 more pages expanding on the same subject at the end of the next chapter (test doubles).

It's a shame, really, since I think chapters 20+ contain some of the more technically interesting topics (yes, including another testing section -- CI!).
There's a lot implied in the doc linked from twitter, if not spelled out. Particularly troubling is the alleged targeting of friends and family.

That said, it's one side, and not even from the source, but from someone's interpretation/understanding of what happened to the source, so I'm being careful to not assume much. The quick-take might be the correct take in this case, but that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with using it.

It's common sense that without a history in the West of regulating free speech, there wouldn't have been a first amendment in the US. You don't have to know what the regulations were.

So you are not just generalizing Americans as ignorant of history, but also as unable to use basic logic.

I apologize if this is pedantic but you can absolutely "render" KaTeX server-side: https://github.com/jdan/thatjdanisso.cool/blob/902f1c421b02b...

MathJax does not support this because, IIRC, it runs layout calculations in the browser whereas KaTeX passes it off to CSS.

If your argument is then that layout calculations should _also_ happen on the server then... I'm not sold and that would be a critique of web browsers and not math rendering.
> it's illegal in the US to require job candidates to take IQ tests.

> So the issue for companies is that without the usual whiteboarding or educational paper trail you have to find a way to identify high IQ people without being too obvious about it.

Yup. I was surprised to find myself gravitating to this through trial-and-error, since I had pretty thoroughly absorbed my affluent coastal background's bullshit religious conviction in the pure blank slate of every human mind and the uselessness of intelligence as a distinct concept.

> The other issue is if you find no-experience very-smart people you have to spend time training them before they start being productive. This works if you're not in a hurry, but it's harder to justify when runway is limited.

Right, the other ingredient that I mentioned was that the engineering work we needed didn't require any specific skills. The vast majority of our engineering work was just a Python backend, which is about as "pure" an exercise of manipulating logic as you get in engineering.

I feel like this is something said by people who are more invested in VS Code than vim. The main vim plugin for VS Code is straight trash. It's slow, buggy, and unintuitive; while lacking the extensibility that vim has.

I like vim and use plugins in all my IDEs because I like the idea of a modal editor and the basic vim is super powerful.

But it’s way easier to get IntelliJ or VSCode setup than your custom vim.

The glycinate is a well absorbed form of magnesium. Threonate is also well absorbed and is able to pass the blood-brain barrier.

Malate and citrate are pretty absorbable too, but I (am not who you were responding to but) use Magnesium bis-glycinate (TRAACS) form. It works well enough.

Keep in mind I am not a doctor or biologist, but many common forms of magnesium, commonly in multivitamins, are absorbed (slowly) via metal channels which require calcium to be taken as well or else the absorption slows and stops. As a result, it will pass through your GI instead of being absorbed into your body.

I always feel that for lisp-like languages it's just not a good idea to make them statically typed. Their power is derived from macros and the fact that code is data and the other way around.

For statically typed languages, they only feel ergonomic to me if they have highly specialized syntax and if they really leverage the type-system (which is often in conflict with macros and runtime flexibility).
