> if management/product view something as easy or hard.

This applies not just to work done, but work to be done.

Once the business people asked me to do something that turned out to be extraordinarily difficult. Afterwards we were talking about it and they mentioned that they considered asking me to do it a different way that would have achieved the same goal, but they thought the second option would be harder, so they only asked me to do the first option. The second option turned out to be extremely easy and I could have finished it in 5% of the time option 1 took.

This applies outside of programming as well. One time I was building kitchen cabinets for a remodel. I gave my wife 2 options for the doors. She went with the more difficult option. After they were done she admitted that she preferred the other option, but thought it would be harder so she went with the less desirable option to save me work. Facepalm.

The oven is great for drying and touch-up and also serves as a safe place for a hot skillet to cool away from small kids. A very thin coat of canola oil @ 425F works fine. Sheet pans get the same treatment.
Politicians are cheap.
So wear goggles and a mask while killing zombies… got it!
No worse than you choosing that the people around you may die from your not vaccinating.
I disagree. The expensive choice was deciding not to hire skilled security engineers and not giving them political capital to do their jobs. The root cause of the attack is dysfunction in the organization.
It might be, but I doubt his home has the ventilation necessary to get all that smoke out before it causes problems to his health.
I presume he would have known his writing style was unique and expected people to figure it out once he got what he wanted. It’s an interesting read.
If you look on the side bar they're offering vans for slightly more. Maybe you should switch to Priceline.
Agreed - I don't like the way we've shifted responsibility to the hapless employee away from whoever wrote, purchased and approved the vulnerable piece of software that actually was exploited here.

We knew vaccinated people might spread the virus and official sources didn't make any claims that they don't until research was done that indicated that vaccinated people spread the virus way less than the uncaccinated.

So basically what you wrote is false. Except that vaccinated people also might hurt people. It's just way less likely than dor unvaccinated.

Same way as drunk driver has higher probability of hurting someone then sober driver, but sober driver might hurt someone too. Despite this we still have a strong stance against drunk driving. Which is reasonable.
It works outside in direct sunlight without any additional electronics besides a smartphone. Good luck beating an Android AR/VR app.
Do you believe the magic of Penn and Teller is actually magic?
Not a bartender, but i do wonder if tipping the bartender is more of an American thing.

Will definitely think about tipping the next time I'm at a bar.
I feel your pain.

On one small thing. I've started asking people where they want to be on the fast / polished scale.

I've always struggled with this. Have budget for a prototype, call is a prototype through speccingand end up with a client complaining it doesn't do everything perfectly. That's on me for not being clearer which is why I'm trialling the scale above. See how it goes!
I've found the reverse, it is easy to context switch between tasks you have practiced a lot with. But you still need to practice a lot at doing them, making someone now and then do a task they aren't good at and evaluating them at that task will absolutely ruin their productivity. In this case we are talking about meetings for software engineers who haven't been managers.
The i3 can't do more than 40mph when using the scooter engine.
The flat bottom clad cookware is the best for me on our smooth top electric range (which I do not like at all). Everything else has some amount of cupping so it’s just hot spot management even with our fancy heavy copper French cookware. But yes I make dang sure I do not warp our clad pans. They must be flat!
Speaking as a liberal in a very conservative area, I'm in the same boat. I wouldn't really want to talk politics, but I'm absolutely not going to even if someone else does specifically ask. Liberals are made fun of and regarded as immoral and dangerous. (Which is kind of ironic, given that I have moralistic tendencies. Just Kantian rather than Biblical.)
Announced on the same day Algolia is valued at 2.25B - interesting coincidence.
Honestly, that feels like it’s worthy of a blog post at this point.
Yeah, and any human can tell that you are not the same thing as me. We can form all sorts of groups… people with dark hair and light hair, skin color, eye color, nose shape, etc. Which differences determine that another person is too ‘other’?

My insight is that psychiatrists, and most doctors, are themselves mentally ill. The vast majority think too highly of themselves. Many think so highly of themselves they do not listen to patients because they view them as less capable. The moment something escapes their understanding, it is labeled as a disease. It's almost the way the ancients would make up gods to explain phenomena they could not explain.

IMO, schizophrenia is a great example of this. My uncle is schizophrenic, and doctors (and some in my own family) accuse him of not making sense when he talks. But he makes perfect sense, if you pay attention. Most people are just not smart enough and don't pay attention and aren't interested. Doctors especially pretend that since they don't understand him, he's certainly crazy.

I'm not saying my uncle's easy. He's not, and he needs to be 'treated' (i.e., managed specially so he doesn't go off the deep end and become so self-isolated he convinces himself he needs to stab someone), but it's unclear to me whether he's sick (i.e., has some chemical dysfunction or biological dysfunction) or whether he's just reacting in the normal human way to the pressures of life and his own experiences.
I find the mistakes it makes to be less understandable because I can see with my eyes that the light in the sky is the moon, and not a traffic light. Why can’t the car?
The desire to maximize ad revenue drives the decisions to make these platforms more addictive and less substantial. So this is arguably something that's been done to users--not something they wanted. Sure, some people are more interested in substantial and nuanced content than others, but putting the blame on consumers here feels a bit like blaming patients for the opioid epidemic.
My OO definitely has a much more functional feel to it. Pretty much use OO to connect the parts so that the functions are connected from inputs through to outputs in a pipeline-y way. Monadic data, aspects, and error handling is also commonplace. I recently figured out that I can chain (value, error) in Go with different value types and not deal with input x output explosion of flatmappers--trick is to bind with closures to make zero-arg functions so only the output type varies.
You're spot on. All of the things the GP mentioned have people literally fighting political battles to continue enjoying them. I find the GP's thinking common with people who haven't experienced friction doing "normal" things most people take for granted.
Given the ties between key Israeli government members and the NSO Group, what's the likelihood this is simply a sham investigation?
I don’t know if Paul G has ever been a leader of a large organization, but he gets it wrong when it comes to managers. Managers and executives need deep work time as well, they just have higher demands to context switch more frequently than ICs.

If you do go into management, learn to protect enough time for deep work, you need it too.

Edit: "They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can't write or program well in units of an hour. That's barely enough time to get started."

This right here is frankly bullshit, and it's wrong on two levels. 1. You absolutely can get into coding or writing in chunks of less than half a day. Second, thinking strategically as a leader is just as hard to get into as coding and/or writing. Leaders/managers have the same challenge, they just have busier calendars.
You could use a NAT64 gateway to do that. At that point you're trading one form of NAT for another so there's less value in going IPv6-only.
That's how my employer does it but it's for less than a hundred devices so we just provide security the key after turning on FileVault.

> If you are going to split hairs between "rational thought" and "critical thought", you'll have to elaborate because the two seem to be pretty much synonymous.

I thought my aside about "rationalism" did that. For some people "rational" is loaded, and since you brought it up, I wanted to address it somehow. Whether true or not, some people equate rational with rationalism, and rationalism with not accounting for feelings and how people are in reality.

> Generally, anytime you find yourself looking down with scorn on something, that is a great indication that there probably is something you don't understand and an attitude of contempt certainly won't help you figure out what that is.

I agree in the general sense. But the only way that can be true in every sense is if nobody ever deserves scorn, and I think we can agree there are plenty of people that do deserve it because of their actions, from the extreme such as rapists and murderers to the mundane such as narcissists that they deserve whatever good fortune they can find or take, regardless of impact on others.

If you agree there are people worth scorning, the question in not whether "generally" this is a time or not, but given the specific subgroup in question has been described as those that decide they don't want to contribute to society and state that as the reason to live mostly outside it, but then want to receive the benefits of society, deserve that scorn. That is, to be clear, and as has been stated previously a few times, not all homeless people, but specifically those mentioned by the original commenter.

If you want to make a case that those people are misunderstood and perhaps their reasoning is X, Y or Z, feel free to do so, and I'll consider it. If you just want to defend them because they're part of a larger group you think deserves help, or because you feel compelled to defend them on principle, I ask you what purpose that serves? Critically thinking about the subject and coming to a better understanding is laudable, and defending something to cause some critical thought is as well, but I think we're beyond the point you could say no critical thought is being given to this, so unless you have actual points to add about this subject, I'm not sure what merit is left in calling out negative assessments as inherently bad or based only on not understanding.

Another way of looking at this is that if I had said serial rapists deserve our scorn, would you say that I'm just not understanding the situation or the people in question? If not, then that's an example of when scorn is sometimes acceptable, and we're left with whether the subject in question is actually deserving of it. In this case, you aren't providing any evidence one way or the other, just making broad assertions about thinking.
I don't understand the downvotes, are managers really fine with ruining the productivity of their reports just because their own performance wouldn't be hurt in the same scenario? Or don't they recognize that switching to a task you have had a lot of deliberate practice doing costs a lot less than switching to a task you know you are bad at?

Engineer: I would be more productive if we changed X.

Manager: You are lying, I am not hurt by X, you shouldn't be either!!! Just try harder and you will be just as productive!

This can usually be solved by coaching, not only for this person, but for the teammates who are spending more time answering questions.

For coaching the questioner, I ask them how they approach finding information, and recommend they time box their exploration, and only ask their question if they've given it a good try. I I also will describe my personal workflow to find answers when answering their questions.

For coaching the rest of the team, I often suggest they ask "what have you tried so far?" or "where have you looked so far?" before just giving an answer. This can help show knowledge gaps, and oftentimes the questioner will take another look and discover the answer themselves.

And yes, if they never get away from this behavior even after getting feedback multiple times, then that turns into a different sort of conversation.
Pardon me, but I did not deliberately mislead anyone. The guy to whom I was responding to was speaking of a corrupt person nominated by a corrupt president, and I was pointing out that Pai had been on the FCC for years before Trump made him chairman. (I'm assuming the corrupt president was meant to be Trump, because duh).

And he's mostly right. Americans are uniquely unable to stay rich for many generations. Most generational wealth in america disappears after a few generations.

In my comment history, you'll find a few comments about the issue of couples having fewer and fewer children.

Toqueville's points work so long as people have on average, more than two kids. With the decline in birth rate, we risk descending into primogeniture by attrition, which is terrible.

Those patrons are often more successful Substack journalists, these days, who double as the outlet in which they publish.
That's a little more forceful but I think you're exactly right. Every time someone proposes anything to ameliorate the situation at all we have to hear from fifty people who specifically need a daily allotment of 100 disposable plastic straws and no car but a Hummer will do for them. There's always _someone_ who's being inconvenienced so we can't do anything but just keep doing the same thing over and over even though we know it's not sustainable.
The kind of decision-making that leads one to owing a shit-ton of money to a casino, and then deciding that the best solution is to bomb said casino, seems incompatible with covering your tracks well.
I don't understand why cast iron skillets receive so much attention. They're great sure, but you straight up cannot do particular dishes well with them, like you can with stainless steel pans or a basic non-stick pan. You need all three in my opinion.

How you'd do pan sauces with anything but a stainless steel pan is beyond me. You can do it, but if you took care of your cast iron skillet the way people suggest, you can't get any fond to create the pan sauce.

And you cannot cook good eggs on anything but a non-stick pan if you're not working on a commercial, well-oiled skillet, which is a different beast all together. Shakshouka doesn't count.

No clue what people are talking about when they say you shouldn't clean your cast iron either, it's disgusting to me. It makes no chemical sense. Sure, you've got the pan seasoned, but as soon as you cook anything in it, it will transfer, and there's no amount of wiping that will prevent that. None. If you salt it, you will transfer salt.

Cook with it, clean it thoroughly with soap like you would anything else, dry it immediately, and then just use it again. Any amount of neutral oil you use to cook with it in the future is going to effectively do the same job as seasoning it. Occasionally seasoning it should be fine if you have to restore it for some reason, but you'll end up washing it again anyway.

I agree with the notion that it's strange to treat cast iron with such esteem when it's far easier to screw up stainless steel and have to restore that, which is far more labor intensive.
I always remember the term 'eidetic' and always think I am misremembering the correct term, but it is "eidetic imagery" I am searching for. To me this refers to the phenomenon of seeing above-threshold-of-perception patterns or motions, such as lava-like swirling. As you say, such things can be interesting for a time.

This following link discusses the phenomenon in terms of phosphenes:

Arguably, there have been spiritual movements fueled by relative ignorace around these things, with gurus allegedly claiming that they enable these unexpected experiences for their disciples.
While you're on wikipedia, search Shin-chan's article for phrases like "controversy," "protest," "banned," "censored," etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon_Shin-chan
in my experience that's fine as long as you don't cook a lot of acidic food in it or a short period of time, like simmering tomatoes multiple days in a row and end up eating the seasoning off the bottom of the pan. (curry with a tomato base one day, spaghetti sauce the next, and then more for some south western dish i don't recall, it ate all the seasoning and had to completely re-season it)
Sounds similar to business logic shared between and client and server web app. Thanks

I just wonder if this alone is enough to make a unified programming environment the preferred way. On the web we had Meteor.js which tried this approach to unify client and server with javascript. The shared code was of similar types. Meteor never became the preferred way to write web apps. Im wondering if the same is true for GPU + CPU programming.

I always switch off the biometric access of any machine, so you can save yourself the hassle of cutting off my thumb or trying to unlock a device when I am asleep.
The reason housing comes out ahead for many is due to the favorable terms on which you can buy the asset (the land and/or house) using margin (only a fraction of your cash). This makes the returns much higher.

You can, of course, do the same with publicly traded equities, and it is much easier nowadays than 10 and 20 years ago, so the calculations may have changed. But you still do not have to worry about margin calls or other risks when buying land on margin. Plus the 1031 exchange tax benefit.

> You're reaching. Early bias exists, but that doesn't remove culture from the equation.

I'm not "reaching". I didn't do the research. Scientists did. The research was on 3 month old infants. Before they are conscious. Before they know how to speak.

> Also, the difficulty of travel until quite recently would still lead to a lot of variety in different locations.

Right because miscegnation laws existed in the US because one simply couldn't travel from one town in alabama to another town in alabama.

> Culture is much more powerful.

I agree. Hence why I wrote: "To find out-group features to be desirable requires external pressure - media, education, etc.". Government/media/propaganda can easily undo our natural programming. But that doesn't mean that underlying natural programming doesn't exist.

> Also, that's not how recessive genes work.

No. That's exactly how it works.

To show how powerful culture is, you are denying science because it goes against your "programming". Also, just because I'm pointing out science doesn't mean I'm for miscegnation laws or against people marrying outside their group. I'm for people marrying who they like. Also, ever notice that it's people with an agenda who always downvote science?
Extra Virgin Olive oil is the one you definitely should NOT use as it does have a low smoke point. Pure olive oil has a higher smoke point and can be used, although other oils may be better.

I Highly recommend the book The Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein to understand him in context of his time. Here's a pretty good review[0].

Quoting from the review:

When it comes to more difficult issues, Mendlesohn neatly avoids the simplifications that frequently appear on both sides: “With Heinlein it’s always a case of being a little bit more complicated than it initially seems.”

Mendlesohn compares his vocal opposition to bigotry with the limitations of his nonwhite characters – whose racial identities are often reduced to “Easter eggs” in the text – and his lack of sensitivity toward institutional oppression: “Heinlein understands and opposes enslavement and colour prejudice, but he does not really see that racism has a wider infrastructure. He does not understand what we now frame as systemic racism.”

Elsewhere, Mendlesohn points out that Heinlein’s most famous aphorism on guns – “An armed society is a polite society” – falls apart in context, while their discussion of Heinlein’s “intensely personal” fascination with gender may inspire many readers to see his portrayal of women in a new light. Writing of his “yearning to get a real feeling for what women think, feel and want,” Mendlesohn concludes: “Heinlein made a conscious effort to think about what women were like, and how they thought about themselves. He tried to create for them a voice that was embodied and aware of being female in a male world. In these stories he also tried to make an argument about the possibilities for shifting that sense of self.”

This willingness to view a writer through the lens of the critic’s own time is just what we ought to expect from a serious evaluation of a figure in the main line of American literature, which is precisely how Heinlein is regarded by his fans. The Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein pays him the compliment of holding him to his own high standards.

Mandate all pool areas be closed to children under the age of 12. It would also save far more <12 year old lives than vaccinating everyone.

That is in their view. Without an Editor and a yard stick of quality you will always think you are getting a lot of things done. And for most part I think this is showing.
Our cast irons have a good seasoning and we never need to scrape them, no matter what we cook. A hard rub with a wet cloth, if necessary a few minutes soaking before that is the worst we do.

We did an initial oil (sunflower or rapeseed) or two, either on the flame or more likely in the oven, and my partner cooks with a lot of oil. No expert at all so maybe we have just been lucky so far, but it works.
