This article feels like a bit of a mess. It doesn’t really back up either of its two statements.

Imposter syndrome generally requires that you are/were in the role that makes you feel like an imposter waiting to be found out.

There’s an interesting tie between UI/design and a color principle. There’s recognition that an artist may find this gratifying and relevant. But, it’s a limited example not necessarily relevant to all visual artists. As a specific example, these guidelines could easily rolled into UI best practices and require no further input from color experts or artists.

What I was reminded of, was interfaces designed for visual interest with little concern for design principles: Winamp skins, Enlightenment window manager themes and Kai’s Power Tools (https://www.mprove.de/script/99/kai/2Software.html)
I absolutely agree that the incentives to build homes in/by forests need to be rethought, or at least handled better at the building code / enforcement level.

In addition to the app screenshots mentioned by a sibling, look at the marketing materials. Many of the headers are a translation of Wagestream's headers, and the branding is all focused around circles in much the same way (most obviously in the app screenshots, but they both re-use the image of the circular slider in multiple places on the page).

To top it off, Payflow is a (near) synonym for Wagestream.
I think the slashdot moderation is best. It's borderline random when you get the chance to do it and they become "use it or lose it" mod points. That way the community has to engage, not just lurk.
> The example that has stuck with me is when St. Augustine marvels in his Confessions that Bishop Ambrose of Milan could read without moving his lips, suggesting that at one time all thought was subvocalized speech

I would not read too much into that. That could also be the way he was taught to read. Also my wife said she had that same issue. She learned to read by reading out loud and having people read to her.
She then could not contextualize anything unless she read it out loud. But she taught herself to read silently. Then add to that some people do not have an inner monolog. But function perfectly fine with everyone else. So trying to form fit a history onto that may not be a good idea.
For non-fiction, I've found that underlining engages me more and causes me to retain the information to a higher degree than when I'm "passively" reading.

For some books I'll also use the margins or even bring along a pad of sticky notes. I tried actually taking notes while reading, but it ended up requiring too much setup for me to engage with as often as I'd like.
I don't know the impact of this, but:

- there is no such thing as perfectly black ink

- color printers will mix color ink into greyscale printouts
My app failed: lessons learned
So early 2020, I launched Rithm, an app that helps you build habits, reach your goals and stay motivated.

The 1st version was a chatbot app, think of it like an accountability coach that you text with to track habits and stay accountable.

Rithm landed as the #4 product of the day on ProductHunt, had some good initial traction which proceeded to fall off a cliff.

Here are the 8 lessons for a failed version 1, see video and blog post.

Hope this helps some makers out there!
Yeah, three or four years ago (before Clojure Tools), you'd have to do something like this:

$ java -cp clojure.jar clojure.main hello-world.clj

Still, I'd argue it's about the same as Python, at least for the most basic use case, like what you were complaining about in your previous comment.

The data gathering and entry can't be automated. It could be done manually, but at a very high cost (not a rounding error). Commercial insurers and Medicare certainly wouldn't be willing to pay. As a practical matter it's just not worth doing in the vast majority of cases.

Lots of philosophy ages badly too.

Or, in other words, becomes science.

Philosophy is full of demonstrably false ideas where science has caught up and been able to test and find the truth of something, especially in the areas of philosophy of mind.

It's nearly undeniable to me that the conscious mind is not the only thing that inhabits us. If you sit down and meditate, you will quickly realize that:

1. You are not in control of your thoughts without effort (what he describes as 'induction')

2. You are not necessarily the source of your thoughts

By 2. I mean that when you stop having a mental narrative, you realize that thoughts and feelings still come seemingly from nowhere. Like making a sea of waves still, and now being able to see bubbles coming up from below. If you're not creating them, where are they coming from?

On that note, most people behave in patterned ways and repeat patterned mistakes. If you have a conversation with them, they can sometimes show a complete understanding of their situation, how they went wrong and how to rectify. Yet, when later faced with the same decision, they make the same mistake again. Did they really make the decision or did they just think they made it, much like we believe every thought we hear is ours?
Claiming Kubernetes is Multics , and that the UNIX equivalent is around the corner, is worthless claim without actual data or argument to back it up.

To me, Kubernetes is the new UNIX, centered around a small number of core ideas: controller loops, Pods, level-triggered events, and a fully open, well-standardized, and declarative, and extensible RESTful API.

Kubernetes has its complexities - just like UNIX, because it's trying to solve two big problems: shifting the fundamental unit of computation into an immutable / ephemeral unit (rather than mutable), i.e. the Pod, and having a single open API for controlling almost every aspect of IT using control systems theory as the philosophy.

The various clouds and predecessor cloud orchestrators (Azure ARM, AWS Cloud Formation, etc) are (to me) the infinitely complicated beasts.

This article didn't have an argument beyond "I don't understand it, and therefore I don't like it". He just linked to a few rants about the complexity of the CNCF ecosystem (which is like complaining that "IT is complicated" - it is a reflection of reality, not Kubernetes), and extended cranky rant / thought exercise by the MetalLB dude. The latter is the closest to an actual argument against Kubernetes, but there’s a LOT of things to disagree with in that post. THAT would be an interesting debate.

The biggest issue with Kubernetes is the insularity of the culture to reject anything that doesn't think like Kubernetes (as defined by whoever might be running any given SIG). That is also its greatest strength. But if it doesn't compromise this vision in some respects, such as developer experience, it will be self-limiting.

What about completely unusable tracking links (not pixels)? Like the ones sendgrid uses.

Some of them are one-click unsubscribe links so I doubt DDG is going to unroll those.
Yet Microsoft's tools for C/C++ don't hold up. Visual Studio is stuck in the early 2000s (and frankly the UX is horrendous), everything is packaged in weird GUI tools, the entire environment is practically hostile to automation. The VS debugger is probably one of the best pieces, everything else is simply outclassed. Debuggers have also been supplanted for many uses by other tools, of which Microsoft has few and all of them are annoying to use at best. I really wouldn't want to be a developer for Windows that has to cope with debugging e.g. memory issues (on Linux, you put "valgrind" in front of your command, and it tells you the exact line number containing the error 98.4 % of the time -- yes MS has a number, that is, too many, tools to debug various issues, most of which are arkane at best, like gflags). The default for scripting on Windows is still batch, which is simply insane (since batch was designed within the confines of a single user single "process" environment with no memory).

And this is just lacking in the basics department. We're not even talking about Windows coping very badly with development workloads like reading/writing many small files (which is a design flaw in the NT kernel and will not be fixed, ever).

Of course, if you don't use any of Microsoft's stuff, there really isn't anything wrong per se, just annoyances (slowness, spying and other user-hostile behavior from the OS); IntelliJ is IntelliJ, Linux or Windows matters very little if you live inside it.

Edit: It shouldn't be a surprise that Visual Studio is essentially abandoned by Microsoft. Do you abandon good things? You don't.
This is what I was hand waving at (the tendency to Enron-ify) but you have way more specifics than I do. Thanks!
I have really struggled with this, especially since having kids. The problem for me is that I have very little time to read, so I either have to read fast or read very little, reading fast doesn't really work as the article describes, so the choice is to read very little, but then that makes choosing what to read a big commitment, and that leads to analysis paralysis, and then I end up reading nothing because it's too stressful to commit to something. For an example, I spent the first 18 months or so after my first child was born reading Les Miserables. Granted, that's a long book, but lots of good books are long. If my pace for reading is something under a hundred pages a month, that means I have capacity for two or three normal length books a year, and less than one long one, and that makes each choice feel extremely precious.

As you point out, there are two variables here: Is it processed in LaTeX, or processed in something else, such as Word? And is the font Computer Modern, or something else, such as Times New Roman?

I think the renderer has much more to do with the readability of a paper than the font. The combination of LaTeX and Computer Modern is certainly pervasive, but if I had to pick one variable, I would rather read papers using a different font but rendered in LaTeX, rather than a paper using a different renderer to lay out a Computer Modern font. For an example of the latter, take a look at this paper, rendered in Word, with Computer Modern font and some LaTeX-based margins and spacings:

In my area, I have one option for fuel without ads. That's a place that has old analog pumps that still ding when the gallon dial rolls over. Obviously there's no pay at the pump.

If that store goes under or decides to modernize, then I will effectively not have a choice to get fuel without ads.

It's really frustrating. I want to let competition and the market sort it out, but when there's no variation in the options there's no real competition.

Only ‘popular’ videos will be removed, perhaps. There are videos on YouTube espousing hate and violence, lies and slander, but they only get a handful of use. YouTube seems to only care when these get popular, possibly because they fear the advertisers.

I would like to see a video service that does not censor unless its acts of, or incitement, of violence or breaking the law.

It was very influential in my development. Not that I necessarily buy into all of what Jayne is saying; but the nature of the book, and the nature of his arguments, was illuminating to me when I read his book at around eighteen years of age.

For RF absorption, the rule of thumb is that the higher the frequency, the more the signal is attenuated. Once you get into the gigahertz range, things like leaves block (actually: absorb) a huge amount of the energy.

This is why if you have a wifi router with both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, the 2.4 GHz band usually has much better range.

Visible light is in the THz spectrum which is blocked by anything solid that isn't clear or translucent.

Another big part is the under the hood flexibility, at least in SAP. What you usually see as a user is a specific configuration of the package that has been adapted to your company's workflows. There is a lot of domain knowledge and implementation effort hidden within that configurability.
Exactly this. To discuss Toussaint and 1804 and not discuss the French commander Rochambeau is extremely misleading. He brought gas chambers to Haiti via and was systematically massacring blacks. The entire war turned brutal.

Haiti knew trade was key as they were the wealthiest colony in the west. Toussaint actually negotiated treaties with John Adams and welcomed American investment and trade deals along with other nations. What happened (and again Haiti perspectives comes in to play of who was writing history and what gets emphasized), was a nation of slave gaining independence and defeating Napoleon in military combat. That absolutely shocked the European powers. They were all slave holding counties and their immediate acts was to stop Haiti from succeeding at all costs.

In the US Thomas Jefferson took over, and being a southern pro-plavery president he immediately blocked all trade with Haiti knowing that the colony depended on trade to survive financially. France as well planned to essentially starve the country economically and take it back over later. The entire western powers effectively put the country under embargo. They were deathly afraid it would inspire other slave areas to want freedom (lots of texts written about this) and the way they decided to stop it was to ensure Haiti fails as a country.

The fighting in that war for independence was brutal and ugly on all sides. Toussaint was a brilliant leader and likely would've taken the country to success. He beat what were considered to European armies is the time. Final after winning again against the French, they invited him to "parley" and when he came for the discussion they captured him and threw him in a prison where he died. They could not beat him and finally that was his they stopped him. For diplomatic negotiation and the capture. And that was maybe the third back stab by the European powers at the time. He was the father of Haiti, their George Washington.

His replacement is the one who never forgave that and who militarily was against Rochembeau and who was after this betrayal we no longer want any Europeans here. Previously the British betrayed them, said they'd fight with with against France to end slavery. They agreed - allied with the British and then a the hatians they took all the militarily losses and handed territory to the British to be British free colonies the British came in and started enslaving the Haitians again.

The period of that time is insanely complex. All of a sudden I've seen the narrative of OP being pushed everywhere. Because it's "easy" and people can think of Zimbabwe as an easy analogy - that's wrong. And frequently people pushing it then turn it into discussions of current US politics. [And that's where I'll stop because I don't want this to start down that trail]. What went on in Haiti is way more complex than that simplistic narrative.
Doubtful. Most of the US does not get 6 hours of full/peak sun (2400w/6 = 400w)
Always amusing and perplexing in equal measure to hear about some of the nonsense people used to believe about the natural world before the principles of scientific enquiry took root.

That said, the idea of animals transmuting into a different species is at least backed by apparent precedent (caterpillar-butterfly, tadpole-frog), and non-trivial to disprove. That maggots spontaneously generate from rotting meat, or some of the 'cryptids' described by Pliny (https://medium.com/exploring-history/meet-six-of-the-beasts-...), err less so.

I’m in a rural area in Montana and luckily I have access to a 5G tower. My impression is if you are close to one, it’s better and cheaper than going with Starlink even if you have to pay extra money to set up an external MIMO antenna to improve your signal.

I think Starlink is useful in many areas and industries, but 5G home internet is reliable for many cases at least in the US. Starlink will do great in the South hemisphere where providers struggle even in metropolitan areas. I see that as a huge win for many as long as the prices go down as the current prices could be a barrier for not so wealthy countries.
I'm waiting for my turn (I had a beta offer last year but declined to proceed at the time, now I get to wait like everyone else). Hoping that real soon it gets opened up for mobile use.

It’s even more depressing when you realize there is a large contingent of Norwegians that are far more worried about their potential political association with the terrorist, than they are about the actual terrorist attack and the murder of children.

Since literally the day of the attack, there has been a strong and consistent pressure from various right-wing-adjacent groups to deny the political motivations of Breivik’s gruesome crimes.

> … he would have us dismiss all of these citations out of hand…

Does he? I thought the point of his talk [1] was that we developers ascribe way too much weight to few, small studies. So rather than saying that we should dismiss the claims, we should instead take great care because the claim may not be generalizable at all.

There is probably a big difference between the type of training and procedures between the police in the US and the US army.

I don’t support militarization of the police, but the problem here is “poorly executed militarization”.

In Switzerland, anyone with sufficient training and mental capabilities can keep a gun at home.

In the US, any psycho without training can have a gun.

The problem isn’t the guns, but rather guns in the hands of idiots.

Same here with militarization of the police. We’re they to receive the same training as the US army, and abide by the same rules, they’ll probably do significantly less harm than what they do now.

> It looks like a font designed by an engineer, not a designer

This is exactly why I like it. Designed by an engineer for the purpose of typesetting engineering articles and books.

Most of the other alternative fonts feel like they were designed by a designer with all the unnecessary flairs that would make a great title/heading font to pad the portfolio but are needlessly distracting in a paragraph of dense technical text interspersed with equations.

Keep in mind that Google / Facebook / Twitter / Apple / Microsoft / etc hire hordes of professional designers and the result is a horrible user experience for everyone. I much prefer Wikipedia and Hacker News to most "modern" web design by professionals.

> Expecting a valuable service with absolutely no consideration in return absolutely is a case of entitlement

Like open source software?

What you’re talking about is not entitlement, it is directed transactionality; “if I am using a service by x, I need to be the one personally compensating x”.

X could as well receive some form of compensation from elsewhere. Open source developers can be receiving satisfaction, recognition, even financial compensation without the end user. In fact that’s how charity, in its original sense of a virtue, works.

There is no inherent entitlement in assuming non-reciprocal charity. That’s a behavior baked in to humanity. I’d say expecting transactionality everywhere is the truncated, cynical view of human activity.
