I have no doubt that this is a useful project, but I sure wish this webpage used words instead of animated images to explain things, especially because the images are taller than the browser size on my laptop (unless I shrink to the point where the letters are too small to read.

The setup steps are also really quite unclear. What content do we insert, and in what file? Just a few more words of clarification on this would be appreciated.

PS. I agree with the contention that neorg, when more completely coded and described, could encourage users to switch from vim to neovim. Another contender (which, for me, is more convincing) is telescope.

Probably the point is the whole thread, not just the linked response.
I don't know how well thought this article is, due to a number of use-cases where desktop apps dominate (high performance, GPU, extreme latency sensitivity), and I don't see that changing. I think we are more likely to see some stratification between different types of apps.
My mum brought a war carpet back from Peshawar for me. At first it looks abstract, you have to stare at it for a while to see the AK 47s, grenade launcher and bullets round the side. "Oh no ma'am", said the seller in response to her not entirely innocent question, "it is not a prayer rug."
> Parler has since been forced off of AWS, and has been forced to block hate speech as a condition of being added back to the Apple app store [3]. I don't think Google has added it back to the Play Store. This was possible because there are no laws on the books requiring AWS, Apple, and Google to unconditionally do business with Parler, as long as their decision isn't based on discriminating against a person in one or more protected classes (and political affiliation is not a protected class).

1. So how sure are you that the harmful conversations haven't moved on from Parler to another venue you don't know about? I don't know the direction things have gone, because these things move fast and I don't have time to keep track of them. But I do know that every time people tout a deplatforming success, I find out about a new cesspool a few months after the fact. Twitter -> Mastadon. Reddit -> Voat. Facebook... is anyone even claiming that Facebook has deplatformed hate speech when every few months there's another private hate group being Doxxed? And even on the supposedly "cleaned up" platforms, the hate is still there, with better branding--if Jim Crow could become the War on Drugs and the KKK could become the Proud Boys decades ago, what makes you think that racism can't rebrand today? The primary success of deplatforming is that "woke" white folks don't think about racism because they don't see the N-word on social media any more--actual racists still have very little difficulty organizing.

2. Could you point out where I proposed laws that force companies to host content? I don't think I did that, and if I did, I'd like to retract it. My ideal solution would be for people to stop using corporate social media entirely, because it's nothing but toxic, but that's seemingly not realistic. A possibly more realistic solution would be for people to learn to talk to racists instead of trying to sweep them under the rug. Racism is a disease but it's curable in many cases. We need to stop just canceling people the minute they offend us, and learn to engage in a dialogue that changes minds.
I saw Michael Pollan speak many years ago, ~2005?, at the LA public library, about _The Omnivore’s Dilemma_. He talked about nostalgia for family farms; I grew up in Iowa on a family farm, and in 2005 I knew that rural America had been depopulated and small family farms were few and far between. I asked him how that “density” could be restored, to recreate what he wanted. He had nothing to say, nor had much to say about the forces that had led to the current state of agriculture.

It was an extremely unsatisfying answer as part of an unsatisfying talk. He struck me as an unserious person.
It just feels like a disposable $159 product is vastly more wasteful than a disposable <$1 AA battery
I think this is probably true, but I kind of hate it. It's such a staggering waste of computing resources. I don't know, maybe we can get to the point where these apps that include an entire browser are highly optimized but it's still kinda nuts.
The point is that the environmental focus on airpods is irrational. look at everything in your trash can this week.

If you are upset that they are too expensive, don't buy them. The price isn't going to waste; it has an enormous profit margin over the BoM. (a lot, perhaps most, of the true cost is fixed overhead, so buying more airpods makes them more efficient!)
Maybe that calc changes when you look at environmental effects of having to keep manufacturing new chips.

Sub-Orbital is for space wannabees. Sub-Orbital is merely flying high. For that matter, anybody who has flown in a passenger jet has flown 'Sub-Orbital'.

The main thing about space-flight is SPEED. It's called 'Escape Velocity'.

Either you go fast enough to go Orbital, or you don't. Without that speed, you are like a rock thrown into the air. You must fall back to earth again.
I would say R has a beautiful functional approach which is very hard to replicate in python. It is also faster than Python and Julia for tabular/dataframe data. Ggplot is fantastic - I tried to recreate some relatively simple plots (scatterplot with a LOESS line of best fit coloured by group) and failed to do this in Python easily.

Why is the post focusing exclusively on desktop?

> The last five applications I installed are Electron apps.

The last few companies I've worked at made their mobile apps using React Native[1].

> In ten years nearly every desktop app that isn't over ten years old will be a progressive web app or a containerized (e.g. Electron) web app.

Some of the apps I have installed on my phone are progressive apps, one of those decided to promote their PWA over App Store / Play Store because they didn't want to share revenue with Apple/Google, the revenue issues with mobile stores have been in the news a lot recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this became more common in the future.

[1] worth noting I'm not a mobile dev so my own skillset doesn't have anything to do with how those companies make their apps.

I live in Europe. There is plenty of work done on health risks of canabis. Smoking is strongly associated with lung cancer, yes weed too. That should not be surprising. If you think otherwise you are reading the wrong Internet. Smoking is also strongly associated with mental disorders. There is a lot of evidence. Huge numbers. If you smoke weed you _must_ have friends that's have had a bad one on weed at some point, even if you never have yourself, which I doubt, if you are over 18 and live in the US I would be very surprised to hear you have no anacdotal evidence of mental health effects. If you really don't go talk to a psychiatrist and ask them what they do all day. Weed is part of the culture we all know it's ups and downs. I am in favour of legalization but you have to be honest to discuss it. If _you_ have a lack of evidence about the effects of weed read more, ask your friends, about 70% of my friends smoke weed regularly. Those that do don't have regular issues with it, naturally, but that is a long way from saying there is no evidence of health effects or the lack of evidence itself _is_ the health risk. That's crazy talk. Depression and demotivation is normal, and documented. Of course, if you smoke, you don't need a doctor to tell you that. Smoking weed is so common the numbers are very good.

Large numbers make good averages.

Psych health care workers deal with people with drug problems on a daily basis, that's pretty much all they do. Psychs know _which_ drug each patient has issues with. A huge percentage of psychiatric work is related to drugs and alcohol. The percentage that is weed is well known.

If you deny that, no one will ever take anything you say seriously because everyone one else is basing health care policy on these numbers.

Your trouble is probably that you are looking for a study that says that weed is good for mental health,
and there isn't one.

It's fun, you get high, but it does have negative health consequences. That is essentially it, no one has yet found a control group that got better exam results from smoking bifters in the park.

The difference between high thc weed and weed as gaia intended exacerbates the issue, modified indoor weed does most of the damage. Natural weed has anti-psychotics and skunk messed up the balance.
I don't know if I would argue it applies to tech, but the economic term for this is a "natural monopoly", a market where the most efficient outcome is to have a single supplier. A common example is electrical transmission, since it wouldn't make sense to have 3 separate overlapping distribution networks. These are typically allowed to exist by regulation and controlled in some way, for example there is the common carrier concept for electrical transmission.
I’ve actually tried to “shop around” for hospitals and it’s basically impossible. Just about everything is hidden behind some barrier and there’s just no way to effectively compare prices. Additionally, you really have no idea what products or services you’ll end up receiving while at the hospital.

Most importantly, ALL of this planning and sense of choice goes out the window when you have a true emergency. When that happens all that matters is getting to an ER, fast.
That's fair. I just sometimes get the sense that people equate being "logical" to being very hardheaded and skeptical, only preferring well-established solutions. There is nothing inherently illogical about trying experimental approaches; in many cases if they don't work you can just move on.

This isn't exactly that, though.
It’s apparently legal in Japan. If you are late to some companies you automatically get charged half a day off. I presume that means that you lose half a day of salary if you run out.

But the possible and actual interleavings aren't written in the program - so how can I guess what the user needs from what's written?
We use GPs for our own Bayesian optimization of search engine parameters for relevance. I suspect it could also be a backbone of doing active learning to learn about the search or recos click data’s blind spots. (Basically also Bayesian optimization, but a stronger explore bias)

43 here. Done some Angular projects years ago (when it was quite different). Worked on a bit of React. A few years ago started playing around with Vue.js

Honestly I think it's an error to assume that everything needs to be in React. Even with Hooks it can be overly complicated for many projects. The new thing seems to be Svelte and I would try to make that work or Vue before going with React even though I know React is vastly more popular.

But you can build with vanilla JS and it can work out fine. Especially if you have control over the UI design and create something straightforward without a lot of state interactions. I mean React is great and can be a good idea for many projects but I think taking it as an assumption is more of a persistent trend than a totally empirical choice.
I guess I don't know why the user would be betting on interleavings which I never said I could guarantee. If you build your car with a part that isn't rated for what you use it for that's your fault not the manufacturer of the part - even if it worked every time when they tested it and they never saw it fail before one time it kills someone.

I'm open to ideas on how to create understanding both ways on what the user wants and the compiler is able to provide?
When there was a single platform (Windows), native made sense as either way it was one codebase. You now need to support at least two desktop platforms and some computers now only support web stuff (Chromebooks).

The only argument for native is if resources are such that make a web app impractical for most people (high performance GPU intensive stiff). Otherwise, sure, Electron isn't that efficient and takes up relatively a lot of space, but we are at the point where space and RAM are abundant, so it is not a limiting factor for most people.
Apple would be crazy to do anything else; new airpods are cheap to make and more reliable.
Sure, I'm not saying anything about the culture or WLB, just that there's no risk of "losing out" on compensation if you get fired before your backloaded equity vests.
> set boundaries early

If I get a new product manager, for the first few sprints they join I make sure to stop work at 5PM, and not do any work on weekends. This sets the pace at which I will be doing work.

I probably should do more in pushing back in too much assignment at the beginning of a sprint with new PMs.

As I get to no them more, I might work more hours if needed, but it is hard to get back to the idea of working five eight hour days with no more points than can be covered in that time if it is not set up front.

Oh no

This site has been an invaluable source of actual reviews of free software, with info and vetting that you do not get- anywhere else

If I was after some sort of reader , editor, or generic software, I would always go to Gizmo's- they would warn you if something was bundled if OpenCandy(and if it installed it anyway even after you declined it), how products compared, etc-

And were trustworthy.

With their loss, there's nothing the public can use that pre-vets software, across as many broad categories.

And, knowing what to look for is important. As asking every single one of the masses to grab vmware /virtualbox + sandboxie, and then the tools to see if a program does stuff it shouldn't be anyway, while checking out every single competitor to something to see what best serves a purpose....

No, this is a very large loss for the community, and will hurt some very badly going forward...
It would be nice if the default keybindings were listed somewhere in the wiki. Did I miss them?
"That’s in now way comparable to having treated your social anxiety."

It is comparable, actually. There is something in psychology called "exposure therapy"[1] where one is exposed to whatever causes your anxiety or phobia (sometimes with positive reinforcement) and one gradually gets used to it until you're no longer afraid of it.

Similarly, I've heard MDMA therapists theorize that using MDMA to treat depression, PTSD, and other mental issues where there might be repressed or uncomfortable experiences that one couldn't face in ordinary waking consciousness allows the patient to be comfortable with them while under the effects of the medicine, and this allows them to not be as reactive to that same stimulus even after the medication wears off.

By the way, speaking of social anxiety, here's an interesting video of someone with asperger's and how a single MDMA experience helped him: [2]

> Also a language is neither fast nor slow, the implementation of said language is.

I don't like how much this simplification gets used. Of course there is more than one way to implement a given language. But there is also more than one way to design a language, and that can have big effects on its implementation(s), and that's usually what people mean when they speak of "fast languages."

Not to mention that many languages only have one implementation, or else many that have all converged to the same performance characteristics.

And on top of that, it's rarely a question of how fast or slow an entire implementation is, either! Individual codebases or problem spaces need different things from their languages.
React Native is much more native than Electron, though. There’s no “web” involved in React Native. It just happens that the language (JavaScript) is also used by the web platform.
Of course they are, what do you call a language that does not permit a fast implementation, or a language that exposes low-level primitives specifically for performance work?
Agree.

Also: there's a 'feeling is understanding' component to psychs that can be unattainably difficult to replicate without this tool.

Ultimately there's nuance some other commenters here seem to overlook: once you have a taste of this guiding understanding, it remains up to the individual to put in the work - psychological, physical etc. - to reach & maintain their desired state.
If you take this stance most optimizations are of the table. Optimization are rewriting code in some way to ensure it runs faster. In that sense yes the entirety of a program "is a mere suggesting on how to compute the output". If you actually want to tell the CPU what to do you have to use ASM and an ISA that specs what exactly every instruction does and how it does it.
This might be somewhat of an aberration (I hope it isn't, as I'm in the same boat, but it might be). A bunch of people got laid off during the pandemic and now everything is opening up and everyone is hiring and they've become more desperate for talent.

At least in theory. I have noticed a hesitance on some employers to actually bump their ranges for wages, and have had several recruiters tell me their client's budget for the role is criminally low, no wonder they're having trouble hiring people.

I think there's two things at work here.

1. It's extremely frustrating how much bad security work is done, and how much of it is justified in the name of "defense in depth". So many useless hours spent on mitigation without understanding the threat.

2. Everyone talks in hyperbole. It's shorter and more to the point, and nuance is usually not important in conversation among experts - we already know the nuance. The difficult bit is if you're not an expert, but talk with them, the implicit nuance is lost.

There's also a lot of resentment. I resent compliance. It is a massive waste of both time and money at my company, and is driven purely by sales. We would be safer without compliance because we could have spent that time elsewhere.

> In reality there can be a lot of value in keeping an attacker guessing and creating uncertainty by using deception or a variety of other techniques that could be described as obscurity.

This isn't security through obscurity. I see this all the time, really. If you're keeping an attacker guessing, that's not obscurity, that's a secret. If you're doing it via deception, that's not obscurity, that's a trap. Security through obscurity is "the implementation is less popular, therefor safer", which is nonsense.

I agree with many of the statements though.

matters as they step into the blue team fray vs FEYE leading it. More importantly, security world needs more of that open door policy from senior leaders.
