When I meet a new person, it could be in a hiring situation, I would question that person to know how she thinks -- how she arrives at her conclusions. Whenever she has earned the trust of her collaborators, she can work mostly of her intuition.

Why should that be different for ML models? I would expect to be able to switch between a result based (intuition) and a more thorough explaining mode (XAI) to assess soundness of reasoning. And then I am also fully aware that complexity is increased when I turn on explanations.
Classic Mac OS had OS-level support for document templates in the form of "Stationary Pads".

You could create a document to to use as a template, then in 'Get Info' (the equivalent of file properties in Explorer) you could check the 'Stationary Pad' checkbox.

Now the file is a template. When opened, the application behaves as if the user created a new document, and pasted in the contents of the template: in particular, the document would be 'Untitled Document' and Save would be unavailable, you'd have to use Save As to save the document to a new file, etc.

I think the file icon even changed to visually indicate its status as a stationary pad.visually.

The template feature being a property on a file means you can arrange your templates in folder structures which is handy if you have a lot, they can be on network shares for groups of users to use, etc. And, of course, it was easy for users to manage this themselves rather than relying on obscure registry keys...

Articles mentioning caffeine and or theanine always remind me i'm drinking too much coffee and need to cut down.

For what it's worth though, I certainly notice the effects of theanine when I take it, usually 200mg upon waking before my first coffee.

IME, one and two Euro/Pound coins are incredibly useful and I much prefer them over paper. It makes it worthwhile to carry change around when I can make small purchases with them, and as a bonus I don't have to dig into my wallet for small bills.

I'm not sold on the idea of a $5 coin yet, though. But I just argued a pretty good case for them, didn't I.

When a house is on fire badly enough to require the fire brigade, it's probably a write-off anyway. Even if the fire is put out promptly, the smoke and water damage will mean every room will need full remodelling, and the roof probably needs replacing. At that point, the cost isn't so different to just knocking it down and building again.

The main benefit the fire brigade offers is the ability to prevent spread to other buildings, and assist people escaping.

> Estimates are one of the hardest parts of software development.

And also fundamental. When I was directly estimating big software projects the key, for me, was to trust developers recommendations but apply a different multiplier for each developer. Multipliers ranged from x1 to x3. Those rare devs with x1 were, of course, a blessing. And those with x3 were not necessarily bad; they were often the ones working on the really hard problems. Of course, it meant getting to know those developers and a prior (which we set at x2, for new starters).

Individuals were remarkably consistent in terms of their actual performance; so a x1 developer would almost always be a x1; a x1.5 would almost always be x1.5.
I have, yes - or I'd feel a bit like a charlatan writing about it!

The problem with the real world examples is the business domain, which was hyper complex and the specific "pieces" of work I described wouldn't have been easy to grasp for most not familiar with the esoteric side of fintech that the project took place in.

So I went with a simpler, albeit contrived and more accessible example.
For coffee, I've seen people recommend putting in a dash of baking soda in the drink to reduce the acidity though I haven't tried this. I also tried some of the low-acid coffees and they were fine though the flavor is in no way comparable to my favorite poison :). Drinking these beverages when you are not expecting to recline (e.g. in the morning and early afternoon) may also help.

However, if you feel these symptoms are pretty bad, it is worth going to a gastroenterologist - chronic upper GI acidity can lead to GERD and that can lead to esophageal cancer.

This is the right question. What is an effective process for the descendants of oppressors and the descendants of the oppressed make amends and move past it? If we can't answer this, our descendants will be quarreling about it forever. 1000 years from now, someone's going to say "Well my Native American great, great, great X 40 grandfather was oppressed by your white great, great, great X 40 grandfather, therefore blah blah blah." It might never end. There are feuds today that go back 1000 years. It's kind of ridiculous. How do you solve it?
HipChat was an unmitigated dumpster fire. The backend literally couldn't scale for many reasons, and it was a rats nest of different databases and random libraries. For example, each connection required a discrete process for managing the BOSH session (as in, one process had to be dedicated for the entire time someone was connected to HipChat)

Stride wasn't really any better, their whole strategy was to outsource the backend to PubNub
The key thing is "like other big cities".

What happened to your coworker can and does happen in any large city with lots of people. Are you saying this could not have happened in NYC, Los Angeles, DC, or Philly?

I perhaps should not have said "not really a problem". Crime/safety is a problem in Baltimore, but it's not drastically different than many other urban areas.

I'm not saying that this isn't a good estimate for "doing it properly". I'm just saying that no client will let me bill half a million dollars and spend the better part of a year to build them a bare bones ecommerce website from scratch that doesn't even have invoicing or an admin interface.

I'm mostly just saying if the author is able to sell what amounts to half a broken Woocommerce installation for half a million dollars (assuming it's at least a team of two billed at $20/hr), I must be in the wrong market.

Well that's an interesting way to fight ad blockers. Hiding the whole content.
I don't think it derailed it, I think it actually highlighted a very important point.

You're right that disregard for the side-effects are common, but this disregard is also often in discussions where the dosage is low and so probably fairly safe.

Dose always matters, and this should be more widely communicated for meditation practice.

So while I don't think it's valid to extrapolate results from an intensive retreat (high dose) to casual meditators that meditate maybe 20 mins a day (low dose), pointing out the relevance of dosage is insightful.
im betting he meant it. ill ofyen have fever dreams whem too much caffiene or whatever and ill be trying to do for loops and what not in various languages. ive had people talk to me in code in dreams. in my dreams things are usualy sent essentially telepathically as ideas anyway so language is more about concepts amd structure.
Happy long time RunJs user. Super useful and battle tested for quick prototypes. Sunflower looks interesting too.
Curious, do you use anything else? I like trying out various ideas on long or difficult hikes. One category that consistently helps is the anti-inflammatory category.

I've also tried some pretty interesting nootropics including one that was designed to support work in extreme environments, and the difference in feeling from caffeine was pretty wild. (I did have some pretty fascinating but unwanted side effects while getting the dosage dialed in, basically what I'd call super soldier mode, so I hesitate to mention it by name...)

Well, insurance is but one broken aspect. The health care system is broken in many other ways.

I'll give a couple of ancedotes about insurance, though. I've had two family members suffer major medical problems, both fully insured with what was considered excellent insurance. The struggles they had with the insurance companies rivaled the struggles they had with their conditions, essentially doubling their misery and requiring them to make very difficult (and intentionally hard to understand) decisions at exactly the time when they're least able to.

In both cases, they ended up bankrupt because of medical bills -- exactly the sort of thing that, if nothing else, insurance should prevent. Both now express that in hindsight, the insurance companies did more harm than good.

But there's also the problem of quality of care. If you have the money, the quality of care you get in the US is extremely good. If, however, you aren't wealthy, then the quality of care you get is, generally speaking, substantially lower than what you get in most other modern nations. This is not because doctors and nurses here suck, but it's because they're overworked. Which ties into another issue...

There's a shortage of doctors and nurses. Here, I can give my own personal story: I've been trying to find a primary care physician since before the pandemic (I did pause for most of the last year, but started again a couple of months ago) Apparently, there isn't a single one in my general area that is accepting new patients. Even though I have better-than-average health insurance, if I need to see a doctor, my only option is urgent care or the emergency room.

And the pricing is simply crazy. Another meaningless anecdote: A coworker had a dental emergency in Taiwan and had to have a crown replaced. The dentist there was very apologetic that he had to charge my coworker (because he's not a citizen and so isn't covered by their health care system). The thing is, he still paid substantially less for the new crown, and the quality of the work and the crown itself amazed him. He remarked that if you need two crowns done, you'll save money by flying to Taiwan and having them done there, and you'll end up with a better end result.

Now, I'm not saying that you can't have really excellent experiences in the US health care system. I am saying that they aren't the norm.
Please don’t turn this place into reddit.
Since working from home due to the pandemic I’ve been able to wean myself completely off caffeine. To not get tired in the afternoons, I take a 15-20 minute nap each day after lunch. I think this has been good for me, and I’m worried that when I have to go back to the office I’ll be dependent on coffee again.
But is it a proof that neither is provable? Or just a statement of giving up?

Assuming it's a proof, there's two cases:
1) it's really P=NP, but we can't prove it
2) it's really P!=NP, but we can't prove it

If it's case 1, that's impossible. If P=NP, then there exist polytime algorithms for NP-Complete problems, and any of those algorithms are a proof that P=NP. So that's a contradiction.

So the _only_ possibility given a proof that it's unprovable would be case 2, thus proving P!=NP and contradicting itself.

Am I missing something? Even assuming I'm right, this isn't a proof that one of P=NP or P!=NP are provable, just that it's impossible to prove that neither can be proven.

This is why I think it sucks when device manufacturers like Apple and to a lesser extent Google (Google Play has been more open to allowing development related apps in their store) restrict the kinds of apps that can be downloaded from their store. Smart phones are every bit a generic computing device as a PC, and for many people world wide it's the only one they have access too. For companies like Apple to say nope, you can take selfies with this thing, but you are absolutely not allowed to upload an IDE or code editor to our app store is really taking away opportunities like the one in this story.
Android also uses user accounts (one per app) to enforce its security model. Is that what you refer to with sandboxing?
> Bookmarking starts a flow which downloads the page, strips out all the garbage, indexes it in something like Elasticsearch or Bleve, tags some metadata, and organizes it by facets.

This sounds very useful (especially the downloading part). I don't know how many times I've tried to go back to some obscure page I've bookmarked, only to find the page has been moved or removed. Not daily or weekly, but often enough. Sometimes I'll save the info in a text document, but then I have to run a separate search on the filesystem as well as the bookmarks folder.

I've started leaving myself notes in the name of the bookmark as well, since I find myself forgetting what page names relate to which topics or projects. I know I could organize them into folders, but then I'd have to keep them organized, and I have enough trouble keeping my downloads, documents, and projects in order.
Interesting. As a Chinese I used to drink tea but years ago I switched to coffee for better flavour. Maybe I should try milk tea instead.

I think it is important to distinguish a couple of things.

If there are businesses out there, like maybe McDonalds or Walmart, who are easily able to pay $20 per hour instead of $7.50, and are choosing not to do so because of a desire for even larger profits, then yes, this is evidence of a mild seller's market for labor and also a lack of market savvy on behalf of McDonalds/Walmart.

If those corps are already offering $20 an hour and benefits and still people are not showing up to work, then it is a roaring seller's market for labor, and must in theory be caused by some other external source that is causing laborers to feel $20 is too low. Where are they going, what are they doing? Are they taking the opportunity to pursue a degree? Are they staying at home playing video games? Have they all found a job making $42 an hour talking on the phone at home? We would need the data to answer these questions.

But in the exact case of restaurants, I genuinely think most of them do not have the money. I haven't ever in my life met a restaurant owner who has a stable financial situation with a paid off mortgage, nice car, and 3 kids put through college already having become cardiologists or something like that. But I've met a lot of other people who have done all that. And I've met a lot of restaurant owners too.

I think that all they can afford is $7.50-$12.50 an hour in most cases, with no benefits. And now that city centers have seen a good portion of their residents with lots of disposable income move away, I suspect that most restaurants have lost the financial base that used to support them.

I saw a video of a restaurant owner during the pandemic in NYC who cut his staff from 45 to 3 and was just barely able to pull it together and survive. Was he paying his people more than $15 an hour? Don't know.
well they kind of do.

if you are employed and a volunteer firefighter your company has to let you go if an emergency breaks out AND they have to continue paying you. so you keep your normal wages during your service times.

then they can claim (varying in exact detail from state to state) these costs and get money from the goverment

This is extremely difficult to convey to non-developers though because they often look at software as a house and think "there's tons of houses (ecommerce sites) built every day and it's down to a science - how hard can a house (ecommerce site) really be", but miss out on the fact that all houses have pretty much the same structure of a foundation, framing, wiring and plumbing, and a covering of paint and a roof - this is largely kept consistent and we'll implemented by building codes.

I can only speak from my own experience, but every single web application I've worked on has had a wildly different structure than the others and the only consistent thing between them has been endpoint routing mechanisms.
This is super cool.

I have personally observed something similar with black tea but I am not sure if's just the theanine + EGCGs or something else.

A while back, I noticed that 'chai' helps me focus and relax (improved mood, less anxiety, etc.) at the same time. It's made of milk, black tea, cardamom, cinnamon, and negligible/no sugar (personal preference).

I prefer coffee in terms of taste, but of all the things I have tried, this has been the best for me. Black tea alone doesn't have the same effect on me, nor does green tea, or coffee with or without milk/cream/sugar.

So I wonder if it's the combination that matter and not theanine alone.
