Definitely.

It's a very common error and it should be easy to catch but....I've even seen a study that treated individual slices of an MRI as independent, which is laughably wrong.

I think part of the problem is that the "analysts" are increasingly uninvolved in the data collection, and just treat it as a tuple of (X, y). If you thought about what they mean, even for a second, ("Oh, Mr. Smith is always an awful driver"), the problem is obvious.

I think this is just Carl Sagan's definition of what he (as an atheist) thinks an Almighty Deity _should_ be able to do.

I mean, being able to write an arbitrary message in a logical constant like Pi sounds harder than just merely creating the physical universe, no?

Also, your dismay of the idea sounds like a kind of Platonism: "Obviously" the logical rational reality of mathematics just is, right?
The Joy of Cooking is a bit old but describes the practicalities of cooking fairly well. It's full of recipes yes but there's essentially an entire chapter at the start of each section that outlines different techniques and even how to select cuts of meat, etc. It's fairly basic advice but that + Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat will basically cover "intro to cooking" and give you a good set of the basic recipes to cover off.

Frank Herbert was quoted in "Shoptalk: Learning to Write with Writers" saying something similar:

"A man is a fool not to put everything he has, at any given moment, into what he is creating. You're there now doing the thing on paper. You're not killing the goose, you're just producing an egg. So I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working. I have never had the problem of a writing block. I've heard about it. I've felt reluctant to write on some days, for whole weeks, or sometimes even longer. I'd much rather go fishing, for example, or go sharpen pencils, or go swimming, or what not. But, later, coming back and reading what I have produced, I am unable to detect the difference between what came easily and when I had to sit down and say, 'Well, now it's writing time and now I'll write.' There's no difference on paper between the two."

I think you're overstating this based on the internet. Sure, there are aggressively intolerant folks and maybe too many for this to work.

But the vast majority of folks aren’t going to get into a flame war over diner while staring into someone’s face. They might say crude things but they’ll probably also learn something.

Why should we create nuclear waste for hundreds or thousands of generations to deal with when we can just expand renewables and phase out coal and gas over the next 20 years?

Planning and constructing a new nuclear reactor takes at least 15 years and it's the most expensive and also dangerous form of energy source.

Just look at Hinkley Point C in the UK where costs exploded and construction was delayed over and over. The cost of £92/MWh (estimated in 2012) is outrageously expensive as well when wind and solar are approaching half. New nuclear reactors make no sense now.

This comment appears to be a dog whistle, so please do correct me if I'm totally wrong here. But this reads like "Democrats / the left have demonized belonging to a church / Christianity," which is a common right wing talking point. Is that what you're saying here?

On a song like cottontail, I still can’t play it perfectly at speed, so I’ll stick to what’s written until I can.

I fudge together a metronomic base line in the left hand and voice all chords with the right hand so the melody note is at the top (I don’t play the root in the right hand unless it’s the melody note).

Once I can do that easily without any halting or mistakes, I’ll start to improvise.

Wouldn’t dare to play with “real” players as I often haven’t heard the recording and am blissfully unaware of the missing comping, licks, etc. Most of the time when I finally listen to the recording of a song I love, I don’t even like it. No one plays the melody and everyone’s showing off. It’s fun to experience live, but often sounds too busy and aggressive as a recording.

I guess that’s a matter of taste. I enjoy sparse music unless it’s rigorously orchestrated (eg I love listening to Cuban music, which is quite busy, but everything fits together perfectly)

Who cares that it's Rust if it's closed source?

Also:

The fact that this even needs to be stated makes it a hard no, especially for a terminal emulator.
I think the non-servicability aspect is made out to be more critical than it is for MOST purposes. There were third party fixes for the storage issue, for example. And in general Tesla has one of the better online parts catalogs, and you can order replacement parts directly.

The issue is more to do with a lack of service facilities that are ready and willing to deal with these new cars. Volume will change that more than any particular policy change.

EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying there are zero issues. Tesla will not sell high voltage components. There are situations where this can be problematic.
I think cooking is very similar to programming. You need to basically do it with your hands otherwise you won’t “get” it. The ingredients are one thing. The chemistry behind it is another thing. Both probably easily to teach through a book. Knowing how to hold the knife and how to dice onions fast is something you can only learn by practicing. Even better someone showing it first (eg through a video), but it won’t work without practice.
+1, I can salvage some level of text editing functionality with a black-box incantation of bash settings, but it never feels perfect and half of the shortcuts still fail to work.

Basic stuff - like jumping/selecting words, going to the start/end of the line, anything really - needs configuration. Even worse, half of it breaks when I ssh into another machine.

It's totally possible to do this in Electron. I've used plenty of Electron apps that were simply ripped off MacOS and dumped on Linux (Kitematic, for example). The entire Mac-native UI works perfectly fine on Linux, the only issue I ran into involved some Mac-ified ini files.

Rust is an active and growing community, and there are a lot of software engineers here who are interested in how the sausage is made. I can think of two solid reasons I like to know when something is written in Rust:

1) This is a new codebase that we can study and contribute to. Knowing it is in Rust is relevant, so us Rust people know if we are able to dig into it.

2) Rust makes some guarantees about the properties of programs written in it. These guarantees are of interest to some, to the point where many have adopted Rust versions of common utilities (ls/exa, grep/ripgrep, etc.).

edit: just saw it is closed source. Bit of a bummer, and nullifies my points to a certain extent. But I will leave them up since I think they apply to other projects that are more open.
If it was wasteful, then there would be no CDNs like Akamai and Cloudflare.

The UI seems interesting, and I'm a sucker for RIIR, but why do terminal emulators keep trying to use "blazingly fast" as a feature? They're all fast (except the hideous electron ones), they're white text on black rectangles.
Got a bit of a victim-blamey vibe here. Intuitively it makes sense that if you're more active and social, you don't get Alzheimer's - but it's also pretty tough to separate correlation and causation. Does being shut-in cause Alzheimer's, or do people end up being shut-ins because of Alzheimer's? Intuition is often wrong.
I probably should've just skipped trying to make the time analogy as it is more nuanced as you point out. Or maybe I should've just pointed out that storing in UTC doesn't mean you shouldn't store the offset/region/sub-region etc. I assumed when I said conversion for the display that it would be obvious you need those to make it happen, but I guess people could think I meant to use the browser's tz setting for display/actions (yikes).

But to point out an example, Postgres (and most major DB's today) store all timestamptz as UTC internally with the region code they use for offset calculations. At least for postgres the region code and offset are taken from the IANA DB.

Essentially what I have done, many times, on complex systems is the same thing Postgres is doing just under our applications control and not relying on a specific databases implementation of conversions. This made it easier for us to ship data around between systems without having to care whether those systems had good timezone support. We then had libraries in each language that would handle all the proper conversions/lookups. Meaning (and using your example) if we needed to update future dates for Turkey, we could issue a query to do so and be done. This eliminates having to wait for Postgres to get updates from IANA, update, test and release and then we do the same. Not to mention you need to multiply that by X number of other systems which have their own TZ conversions at that point if you aren't doing it. And then what happens if one gets it wrong or is late to update.

There are many times this just isn't necessary of course, small systems, systems that are only regional, systems where time isn't a critical component etc. But for systems where time crosses many regions and is critical, or is a legal record or triggers an action it becomes more and more important.

FWIW too: A number of US states have passed laws to go to DST only, so no more switching in those either. They are just waiting on the federal government to pass the resolution allowing it (apparently states can opt for standard time but not DST without approval). When that happens a number of America/XXX regions will need to be split up in IANA. For example, America/New_York currently covers Florida but that would have to change.
I don't have to be there, and my dollars don't go to these corps. I don't understand your point.

I'm not on either of those platforms, so they're not shipping me ads. I do what I can to be private, so that their data mining doesn't get me.

I have that choice. Unfortunately if I don't agree with what my government is doing, they'll still take my tax dollars and fight forever wars with them.

Numbers are usually fudged, especially in corrupt countries.

It's also easy to have good numbers if you issue negative results without doing the actual tests and if you count the deaths as that of something else.

Hints of the false tests are:

- https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/20/49-passengers-on-in...

- all of the ones that were positive had negative PCR tests... done in india

Similar things were happening in Communist Romania, hence my skepticism of India's number (back then - record "harvests", everybody well fed and happy, etc, meanwhile everyone was starving as crops were sold off on external markets)

Either way, best of luck, this discussion was fun for a while.

The Now Habit was a book I liked. Good descriptions of experiments and their insights.

However, the Daily Rituals book I didn't find as compelling. The information sources are not first-hand, because most of these artists are long dead. Their routines as laid out in the book is at best only partially accurate. It's far more likely that these profiles are mostly apocryphal.
This worked for GPS [0] because it was conceived as a purely military project (and still is mostly). Once established, it was opened up to civilian and commercial uses. But even so, other countries and supra-national organizations decided they needed their own navigation satellite systems, and now we have Galileo [1] and Beidou [2].

Maybe if the military had done this first, a similar path would follow (not likely though). As it is, the military is planning their own massive LEO satellite system [3].

Remember, most humans are good, even the Christians!

There is an alternate strategy and it's what V persue: rather than going all-in on single bets, they diversify their portfolios.

That, combined with stop-losses and favourable terms tend to assure winning-on-average.

Individual founders face vastly greater risks, and poorer average returns (in part due to those stop-losses and favourable-to-VC terms).
On the other side of 40 here, I definitely know what you mean, but I also think you can cultivate a beginner's mind and openness to ambitious ideas while still leveraging your experience to see around corners and avoid dead ends. Two ideas:

First, remind yourself that software is malleable. You don't need to build it perfectly the first time, and in fact you will always need to modify it as you go, so don't get stuck in analysis paralysis. You're good at writing code, so leverage that skill to iterate quickly.

Second, don't equate growth with chasing more and more powerful abstractions. Remember, "all abstractions are leaky" in the same way that "all models are wrong, but some are useful". IMHO valuable software comes from concrete use cases. So as you get more experienced you should be able to write simpler code that provides more value. Let the abstractions emerge from practice and experience rather than obsessing over them before you understand the problem.
The EU may move slowly, but it does move. Examples:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Subst...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regula...

These were initially met with huge resistance, yet got approved, and triggered huge changes, not only inside the EU, but throughout the world.

This one probably will see a zillion amendments and may eventually be either made powerless or be rejected.

My money is on it being approved in a weaker form, with a future version tightening things, like what happened with RoHS.

The trick is to get everybody commit to “we want to move to a climate-neutral economy. To get there, we need to do A”.

If you can get that, everybody has committed to “we want to move to a climate-neutral economy”. If it turns out A isn’t sufficient to get there, extending that to “A, B, and C” is easier than going there in one step. The eventual extension to “A, B, …, Z” may be a long way off, but that doesn’t mean the EU won’t get there.
That's a rather dismissive attitude; it's perfectly possible to think analytically and prize understanding without specifically wanting to get a STEM PhD.
I too have become more than a little cynical about all of this. Sadly, the problem you describe isn't limited to the EU. Seems like all major governments are either corporate owned subsidiaries or absolute dictatorships committed to "profit" and "growth" at literally any cost, with little to no concern for how it affects the larger population of Earth.
I am close with some people who worked there until recently. All data access is audited; production access is limited via ACLs in both the main data storage system as well as all the others like the warehouse, realtime ingestion, etc.

FB appears to take this extremely seriously. I just pinged my friends and they said the only way people get fired is for sexual harassment or improper data access. And the second is the one that gets audited and monitored every day.

Running linux* that has basically no security at all, good luck! A rouge extension/bash script can install whatever backdoor it wants without problem.

This actually looks pretty cool, but I can't help myself from some quick responses to their first bullets:

> Developers work in teams, but terminals don’t support collaboration

With SSH, tmux supports full terminal session sharing.

> Developers rely on sharing knowledge, but all my terminal work disappears every time I close a session

All shells I know of have configurable history settings. rlwrap will give you the ability to have history (and nice input) for anything shell-ish or interpeter-ish in the terminal.

> Developers work across machines, but my terminal environment is tethered to my computer

All configuration I care about within a terminal can move from machine to machine with typically a single rc file. Often, I don't even need to do this, thanks to remote file editing and being able to send commands via SSH without an interactive session.

> Developers are becoming accustomed to nice interfaces, but the terminal inflicts pain and makes me feel like an idiot when I try to do moderately complicated things

This one is purely subjective and I simply disagree. It's difficult to engage.

A day with your shell's manual and you should be good. Any other applications will have learning curves, and I don't find CLI to be significantly better or worse than a GUI for discoverability.
When I worked at Riot Games they did something similar and it was fantastic. Twice a year for a couple of days the whole company stopped down to just work on cool stuff.
