Let me guess... You're not a huge fan of free speech because your college professor told you it was an outdated concept WHILE still using it as a shield to spew his moronic views.
It sounds as if you believe that it takes evil people thinking evil thoughts for the results to be evil. As Hannah Arendt has argued, quite persuasively in my opinion, this is not the case at all. While she was writing about events and people more insidious than Facebook's ills, her description of "the banality of evil" seems appropriate.

Your suggestion that criticism "made people at Facebook less and less willing to listen to actual issues" is a pretty good description of evil, by the way.
That's really impressive! A couple of ideas for future developments:

1) stream an emulated GBA game to it, video that, then stream that video to the GBA, and so on, and see how many layers deep you can go before you reach the bottom of the dream

2) maybe with some electronic wizardry it would be possible for the Pi to act as a proxy for a modern console like a PS5?
"I don’t feel that I understand the British system"

Probably doesn't help that there isn't a single UK-wide legal system...

As the article points out, if the source is already lossy (which is (almost) all broadcast, DVD, and web sources) then you should just copy that bitstream into the resulting video (transcoding lossy to FLAC gives you the same quality at higher bitrate and is the worst of both worlds). The only common source you would get true lossless audio from is BluRay discs and even in that case the recommended audio encoding settings the author gives should be well into transparency for all but the most golden-eared listeners, and they would likely only be able to detect the difference in an AB comparison with the original source.
But Americans capitalized on it, and it’s not a coincidence.
Psychology is a big field. A lot of the work in the psychology of judgment and decision-making is very reproducible, especially in the area of cognitive bias.

> Physical exercise, breathwork, healthy diets and diverse immune exposure

I've gone to "mainstream healing" doctors and they always recommend exercise, have a good diet, etc. When people say "alternative healing" that's not usually what they mean.
This thread is amusingly self-referential regarding tact.
You'd think so, but no. My father had amazing cancer care but the idea of prescribing him yoga or actually any kind of light physical fitness program was considered "integrative" medicine and basically outside of the mainstream. This is changing. But "regular medicine" is, at present, very much not a holistic healing practice.
Maybe “energy drinks” (Monster et al) aren’t counted as soda? There are also several other sugary non-soda drinks I now see in most convenience stores: sweet tea, Frappuccinos & other cold coffee drinks, slurpees, hot sugary coffee and cocoa, etc.
Capital loves to blame labor, capital owns the media and we're inclined to believe their stories.
I'm reading Principles by Ray Dalio. In it he mentions how Bridgewater had been using myer-briggs to test and measurement their employees personalities.

I've always been dismissive of the myer-briggs test. Since the tests are "not reproducable", must mean it's at best a pseudo-science.

But then I realized, who am I to dismiss the idea? I'm not an expert. Much smarter people than I (Dalio) believe in it. At the end of the day, does it help us move closer to understanding the differences between our minds?

I'd say yes it does. It may not be a "perfect" 100% correct model, but at least it's a step towards a direction.
Thank you, the developer behind the website had know idea about ratelimiting, and myself thought this is only use with an api. I will look into that, but do you really think if someone is geographically close to the server that they have a better advantage to those coming from other countries? I mean this could be one of the things to consider in order to give an equal chance for all applicants.

Thanks again
I don't know, we somehow manage to replace point-and-click GUIs for placing buttons (Windows Forms etc) with Frontend developers writing elaborate code to achieve the same result in HTML/CSS. Productivity is far from the first priority for frontend development.

A more cynical view is that the goal is to make it seem like the administration is trying to follow through with some campaign promises while not doing much of legwork to actually do it.

It takes very little to issue an EO. It takes more to work with colleagues in congress to actually implement some of the stuff laid out here. Biden's predecessor really laid the framework here and turned it into an artform - issue a worthless EO, get a great photo op and some feel good stories in the media, then everyone forgets why they can't figure out hospital prices in a few weeks again.

For some more context, it is within Biden's power to appoint an assistant attorney general for antitrust, but as of last week, he still hasn't [0]. I'm not sure how serious this rhetoric around strengthening antitrust guidance really is, in light of that.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I think this administration has earned my skepticism. Time will tell.

Redirecting Agricultural Subsidies for a Sustainable Food Future (2020)
Thinking fast and slow has profoundly changed how I view the world and continually provides me with tools I use to better myself and the organizations I'm a part of. I now regularly revisit my prior assumptions and attempt to reason from first principles and I am better at recognizing when to encourage it in others.

I've also read influence. It's Great but it didn't have near as much impact on me. but it does really drive home how people rationalize prior assumptions rather than logically arriving at conclusions.
These were the 2 week variety that were on sale between 2008 and 2012, after which I changed to 1 month lenses. It’s possible that newer lenses are better when worn outside the recommended range.

If the probabilities are reproducible it is still science I would say. Take quantum mechanics for example. It can not predict what exactly is going to happen, only how likely each outcome would be.
> "Money In Money Out" is what makes you poor.

Actually many programs for social welfare are exactly based on the idea that it is more complicated than that.

The proponents of universal basic incomes for example have been fighting tooth and nail to even get this "tautological" fact accepted, and it is only now taking hold. The consequences of that would be that "simply" giving people money makes them less poor. It sounds simple when put like that, but it is a real struggle to have the conclusions of that be put into policy.
Have you never experienced an unbootable system because of a corrupted registry? It's unfixable. And I'm not saying it happens when manually editing the registry. It might happen when Windows crashes at the wrong time and the system is in the middle of modifying it. It's quite failure-prone and I'm surprised it hasn't been improved much over the past decades.
Hm, I don't know. From my experience, communication without emoji of any kind works perfectly fine in a workplace and so far, I don't think I've ever received work-related communication that contained it. After all, it's not exactly difficult to write in a rational and neutral way what you want to say. If people want to interpret some kind of not-explicitely-said something into a written text, that's pretty much on them then. If anything, I consider emoji to be rather unprofessional, same as excessive usage of punctuation marks. In the days when forums were still doing fine, anyone who wrote a sentence ending with "!!!!!" would usually get a response like: "Satzzeichen sind keine Rudeltiere!" or some more eloquent but mean one which I can't remember.

Anyway, in the end, it might just be a cultural (German) thing but it seems to work since I've never seen an issue arise from the lack of emoji, smileys etc.
> In my initial comment I already pointed out trying to pick cheap textbooks. But people wanted to go after the easier target of expensive textbooks, so fine.

Expensive textbooks are not the easier target, they are the only target. What people find issue with are certain predatory practices by a minority of bad actors.

I think it's great that you make an effort to pick more affordable textbooks, and I hope that your students are paying for them.

> Is Obsidian worth trying if one's already using org-roam and is reasonably familiar with Emacs?

What features do you need that org-roam doesn't have? Hard to say if it's worth moving on without knowing that. If org-roam is working for you, then why bother moving? If it's not, why not and does obsidian possess those features?
Is "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman really worth reading the whole book? I feel like I understand the phenomenon it describes (and I believe a page or two is more than enough to explain it), I'm glad somebody described it popularly and attracted attention of wide audience raising their awareness. But reading a 500 pages book is a huge investment of time and mental energy. What's there one might find worth it?
“Ohio public pensions paid double in new fees to Wall Street that it saved by freezing inflation adjustments on payouts” is a bit more concrete than “not liking wall street”.
Parliament writes the laws - the judiciary interprets & implements them, as in all other democracies that I'm aware of.
> Just too bad they'll go spotify-only and thus seize to be a podcast... I'll have to stop recommending (and listening...)

Yes, that bums me out too. It must make economic sense (for both parties; presumably the data in the app and exclusive content is a win for Spotify), but it's a real bummer that they are moving from a format that lets me, the listener, control how I want to listen, to a format that requires me to download an app. Not gonna happen, but companies will always try to build walled gardens.

I'm a consultant, I work with all kinds of people. The number one skill required is communication, and learning to communicate with new teams, new people, new companies. All of them have different ways to communicate. Many of them use emojis, not all, but I also work with lots of different countries.

I also do quite a bit of work in the gaming community which has its own custom emoji culture, a different beast altogether.
Sometimes you can't attach a debugger at all! I've dealt with plenty of things that will do some strange kind of fork/exec magic and shed all the debug information in the process.

And other things that will only show some small useless snippets of the stack. You pass a bunch of parameters to tell it to show more, but then invariably you find the code is using a custom logger that's cutting the thing off or some part of a library resets all your settings or the forked processes don't inherit everything, it almost never just does what you tell it to, there's something else in there ignoring it.

I wish I could have the opportunity to even get to that problem half the time
Myers Briggs is the poster boy for pseudo science.

This is an appeal to authority; you should stick to your original gut feeling. Dalio and the like make their money selling books and as such write what people want to hear. It’s Chicken Soup For The Soul for people with bachelor degrees.

The period directly before the fall of the Soviet Union was one of liberalization and opening up. If any thing, the history of the Soviet Union was on of decreasing repression (in fits and with some set backs) after Stalin's death. You also have to be really careful of historical predictions. Lots of people make lots of predictions. Most of them are wrong, and most of them aren't remembered.

Patents are an attempt to protect risk. If you're getting my money to invest without any risk to yourself, you don't deserve a patent.

Here's an easy solution:

Patent and copyright times are limited proportionally by the percentage of government money invested and at the end of that time, the research must be made publicly available.
It seems more like a parser than a compiler. It doesn't write a binary, it just translates brainfuck to C source code. In the OPs defense, they did say "by abusing everything."
Also true of professional networking, tbh.
I would say "No", because there's far more to programming than syntax.

Eg, how do you explain things like scope, object lifetimes, and destruction without words? In C for instance, there are various non-intuitive things such as that the string "Hello" is actually 6 bytes.

IMO, syntax is the least important part of programming. It's far more important to understand what exactly that syntax does. Take for instance #include. It looks straightforward on the surface, but there are lots of un-intuitive parts to it, such as that you're effectively copy/pasting a file into your code, that you need include guards, that order can make and a.h can #define something that breaks b.h, that you need to #define _GNU_SOURCE to get some particular bit of functionality before a particular header...

You can definitely write sample code to illustrate all that but I can't think of any way of explaining "what's going on" and "why we're doing this magical looking bit here" without using words.
I love org-mode, and use it in all sorts of areas, but I haven't found a mobile (iOS) solution I'm happy with.

Org being so feature-rich, I decided to tackle a subset on iOS, so I built https://flathabits.com.

I'm itching to build a similar thing for personal task management, since I currently rely on Shortcuts emailing myself org-formatted TODOs.

>It's very common for me to place a smiley at the end of a message.

I know a couple who would always put a smiley face at the end of the message unless they were mad. It didn't make sense to me at the time, but I can see how it would work well.

Years ago I saw a texting app which would take a selfie with every message and add it as a very small image next to the text. The intent was to attach some visible emotion to every message in a way that pure text can't accomplish.
As someone who's background is biology and physics and who does ML work as well. This is an incredibly optimistic view of ML.

>Of course, it really only works if the scientists are able to understand data and how to use ML, which is why computing becomes just a tool for a scientist, nothing else.

Ideally in science you would like to use literally anything else other than ML if possible, fitting models come with their own challenges and neural networks are even more of a nightmare. Understanding the world well enough to hard code a rule is always preferable to fitting to some data and hoping the model will come up with a rule. While there has been some attempts to use ML for feature detection it then takes a lot of experimenting to generally show if it detected signal or just some noise in your data.

Most of the things that would accelerate science would either require AI much more complex than we currently have (basically replacing lab assistants with AI) or are incredible research undertakings in their own right like Alpha Fold, Deep Potential Neural Networks, etc.
ECT was certainly way over applied back in the day, but it's made a bit of a comeback in recent years for treating severe depression. In the sense that clinical trials are science, it's definitely science. It's true we don't really understand why it works, but you could say the same thing about a number of drugs for treating psychiatric disease, and I doubt you would say those are not science. Here is a FAQ about ECT from Hopkins: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/psychiatry/specialty_areas/b...

> This is trivial code, like adding a button to a screen.

UX is probably the most important aspect of most software products. Every software product is either "smart code" or "smart ux". No one pays much for "dumb code with bad UX" except in dysfunctional markets.

Adding a button to a screen should be trivial, and if it's not you need better tools. (As in "a not-horribly-misdesigned language and framework", not as in "giant transformer".)

Deciding where to add the button, its shape, its size, what happens when it's clicked, the text on the button, ... is anything but trivial.
Many tests require an understanding of the intent of the code, especially the further from a pure unit test they stray. CoPilot has no understanding of anything and I anticipate will be useless in writing the tests that are actually hard to write.
Yes, except not obvious and usually involving irrationals, so good luck figuring it out.
Brexit really helps the UK’s leverage here. As the dominant economy in Europe, the UK can unilaterally set policies and reasonably expect multinational companies to comply with them. Their threats bear real weight. If I were Tim Apple, I’d be experiencing existential terror right now.
It helped me. I wanted to lose 16kg by a certain date. I put my details into the Precision Nutrition calorie calculator. It told me how many calories I would need to consume per day to hit my goal.

I tracked my calories, and stuck to the daily allowance it recommended. I lost nearly all the weight by the agreed timeline (I lost 14.9kg in the end).
I think that is the material change we need. Patents must be used as an active and relevant part of your product or you don't deserve protection. The point is to encourage innovation and from someone from basically just reselling your idea. If you aren't selling it, then why do you deserve protection?
It’s not cruel, it’s science. If it’s not working it’s not being done correctly. I struggled when I was younger.

"Lisp doesn’t really have many, if at all, super weird concepts that need months of thinking about in order to understand."

I don't think we can have both that and the traditional "Lisp is a great language to learn to expand your mind."

"Training seems like some lost art as we collectively move toward a more disposable programming ethos."

Speaking as an engineering lead, my problem is increasingly not that I have an unwillingness to train, but that I need to do something other than train; that is, I need to exploit the training to get some real work done at some point. On my team, to be a fully functional member already requires fluency in 4 general purpose programming languages, 2 devops langauges, all the misc other details needed like SQL knowledge that I could hardly even enumerate off the top of my head if I wanted to, and the associated system knowledge for half-a-dozen systems as to how they are deployed, how to fix them, etc. Bringing up a fresh college grad who happens to have zero of these could be the work of plural years already.

I compare this to what was required in my first engineering job in ~1997: One programming language (VBScript), basic SQL, and "fluency" in HTML that today would be considered "basic" HTML, and with that we had everything we needed at the time. Adding things to the stack was easy to justify back then. It's harder now.

If you want to add another language to the pile, I'm going to need you to have a darned good reason beyond "It's a good language" or "But I like it".

2 weeks is an absurd underestimate for obtaining Lisp fluency, by the way. Surface syntax understanding and the ability to build something someone else already built, sure, but learning the libraries, the existing code base, the other quirks (especially in a language like Lisp that is all but made out of quirks if you start using the language well), there's no way that's two weeks.

It's not that I'm not open to languages, it's that even on my own personal team I can't afford to have everyone drag in whatever language they want to use for some task. It's not a coincidence that so many companies end up with the Approved Language list. Smarter companies with such a list will have a way to get specific exemptions and make it not too hard to get them for good reasons (e.g., if your list is C++ and Javascript one has a good case for adding Python for an ML or NumPy project), but if you let everyone drag in whatever language they like you'll end up with enforced fragmentation of teams and significant difficulties with bringing new developers up to speed in positions where they have to become fluent in perhaps literally 10 general purpose languages to function fully.
