I feel this about so many different things. Anyone know if German has a word to describe this feeling?
The different words for pavement became separate categories as the culture started to demand an easier way to add context to what you’re saying. English is very efficient in that context is often assumed or hidden in the different meanings of the words.
Nonsense. You really should go take a good look at Google Earth. I come from a major port city in a first world country and literally right outside the city's urban area start forests that stretch for hundreds of kilometres. I know for a fact that many other cities like this along coastlines exist.
I agree. A good place to start might be requiring email verification to publish a package so that the registry is more likely to have valid email addresses for maintainers.
True, although in a few cases I've witnessed the bully without superpowers becoming a lapdog of some higher level boss, so essentially all he had to do was go crying mommy to the boss to have someone moved to other tasks or fired. Bad bosses need lapdogs.

My first thought too was that this got dropped more as protecting-an-asset (Wish has a ton of SF-area investors) than stopping-a-conversation.

Out of curiosity (banned book effect) over this, I did read through the article. The tone is way more confrontational than informative! My bet is that it was the tone that got it killed.

In that same vein though, is there a list somewhere of all the articles that got pulled? It might be fun to read through more of these “banned books”.
In a good org you wouldn't be fired for doing a mediocre job. In a bad org you'd be fired for saying no. In either case trying is better than not trying.

Thanks for the mansplanation.
That's why when any boss asks for something completely irrelevant for the job, in my opinion the correct approach would be to ask for a documented request. i.e. "please, send me an official email with your request". If the boss then goes crazy, then reveals he had no good intentions from start, and yes, it's definitely hard to fight back without eventually get to that point of no return. If that's the case, you then better leave that place before getting fired, which has the side effect of showing that you're not that easy to manipulate. It's not just about self esteem and/or testosterone however: any time diverted from the job to other things could impact the project, and doing that during your time means there's your name stuck to the job at that time; if something goes wrong because of the time spent doing other stuff then it is your fault, so he better gives some good official explanation for demanding that extra work.

I've only tried kratom a couple times, many years ago. I can see how someone like me could have a severe problem with it, but I didn't find it to be nearly as addictive (to me) as heroin. I knew someone, like you, who had withdrawal symptoms for a very long time after quitting. I've also known a couple of the mythical "chippers", who've used heroin/oxy/etc occasionally over the course of many years without becoming addicted.

humans can become addicted to pretty much anything that's enjoyable. some things are probably much more addictive than others, but you can't really create a strict ordering of addictive substances/activities when every individual responds differently. is kratom less addictive than heroin? I would guess yes. is it more addictive than alcohol? I don't know, probably yes for some, no for others.

A single letter written 40 years ago did not cause the opiod epidemic. It was part of a movement to reassess the use of pain medication to ease chronic pain. By movement I mean it was part of a change in the zeitgeist among doctors and pharmaceutical companies. No doctor read this letter and said to themselves, well I guess narcotics are not addictive anymore and I can prescribe them without concern. I don't know why people want to make reductive arguments.

It is simply not the case that nuclear weapons being restricted means anything nuclear in space gets put onto back burner. And there is no serious opposition from the poliferation from despite your strawman that there is and your strawman that it is forbidden by the outer space treaty. This is not a strawman on my part, I am directly addressing the argument you actually made in your comment, even if I was wrong it would not be a strongman, and I resent the fact that you would say "no you" when it is obviously false.

Space community here is just a throwaway phrase I used for the various entities involved in Space, space agencies like nasa and the esa, research agencies like darpa, and the huge groups of contractors around them. For instance the latest award of funding that I'm aware of from the US is that General Atomics was awarded $22 million in April of this year for nuclear thermal propulsion research (and theoretically to demonstrate it on orbit by 2025, I'm fairly skeptical that they will meet that goal): https://www.ga.com/general-atomics-awarded-darpa-contract-to...

I recommend "Why Nations Fail" by Acemoglu and Robinson, a thoughtful look at success/failure factors common across a number of countries.

Unlike the implication of the title itself, it's not a "one grand theory" but a set of factors that incrementally tip the scales in one direction or the other.

Sure, factors like colonialism certainly play a role, but terms like that are usually used as lazy tropes rather that thoughtful analysis. Acemoglu and Robinson don't focus on such broad factors except to the degree that they might encourage/discourage some more primary factors.

It all comes down to how lazy (or perhaps cost-conscious) the developers of the website are. Most traffic is Chrome and Safari, so running those two tests covers nearly 85% of users[0] and most other browsers like Firefox make an effort to fix incompatibilities with Chrome. It’s the same for captchas - most people aren’t running in anonymous mode, and when they are, their IP is usually part of a major ISP and thus reputation can be partially assumed by the IP instead of browser cookie. It often doesn’t make sense to spend extra money just so to appease something like 5-10% of internet users (and might be less than 1% of a company’s actual customer base).

Even if you are off by orders of magnitude, there may still be a useful thought in here.

Find a large symmetrical crater pointing directly at Earth. Silver its surface with very cheap to transport BoPET (Mylar). Once installed, there's no need to worry about the sheets flying off or dust blowing over since there is no wind. Place a solar / thermal collector at the crater's focal point. Reap power from earth-light.

If you choose a large crater, an MVP system can go live with just a small collector and small portion of the crater silvered. It can subsequently scale as your growing operations demand more power.

It can do double-duty in broadcast communications too.
Once or twice a year? Maybe once or twice a career if a family member has just died or something I could excuse it. But multiple times a year is a pattern.

I've somehow gone 10 years without screaming at an employee, and it's not something I'd tolerate from any of my managers. Definitely not from an executive. The higher your rise the more responsibility you have to model proper behavior. If you can't handle the stress of being an executive and control yourself you have no business being one.

Barring maybe some safety issue (screaming at an employee to stop before to they drive into a ditch), there is no good reason to scream at an employee. If firing is justified you do it calmly and dispassionately. If it's just behavior that needs corrected, you do it calmly and firmly. Screaming weakens your message and makes you seem erratic and out of control.
Your source does not support your claim. On the contrary, it explains that the intended difference is rhetorical rather than ideological or semantic.

Handling Errors causes us developers so confusion, because we are so used to exceptions and how poorly they were conceived.

I think it’s a waste.

There are many tests indicated if you have risks or symptoms (thyroid for depression) but you might have no risk for hepatitis, get your iron checked when you give blood. I think fasting blood glucose is low cost and maybe worth it for many people but A1C is a more expensive test warranted only if there is some reason to think your glucose is out.

I don’t know if the stress hormone profile and sex hormone profiles have validity in terms of treatment - the risk and reward profile for hormone treatment of women is highly controversial and I think it would be for men if it were as common.
What is sick is the degree and extent of corruption in every level of society.
Have you stopped to think for a sec that some of us like screaming, and in some cultures a lot of screaming is common place. Screaming it not out of control, its using the volume of your voice to command attention.

Perhaps the abuse is the thin skin. Perhaps the abuse is the lack of forgiveness. Perhaps the abuse is the failure to recognize we all have flaws.

> This is a reasonable enough interpretation of that law, even with the US First Amendment.

I don't think it's reasonable at all to call computer code anything other than speech. In fact, just like you say, you can write it in a book. I'd go one step further and say, "if you can encode it in a book, it's speech and therefore protected expression, and cannot be banned." (I am aware that is more permissive than current US laws - I think illegal numbers is a thoroughly Wrong and unconstitutional concept).
I am very interested in the topic; I've gotten few common names over the years this way: "server", "@server", "translate", "files", "swear", "react-test", etc. In the vast majority of cases, I instead contacted first the previous maintainer, and in all cases (except one IIRC) they agreed they had basically abandoned the package and readily agreed to transfer them. A couple of them had some extra soft conditions like technical opinions, but these were fairly decent so I followed them.

I went ahead and wrote a whole article on the topic, including my tips to identifying what kind of packages were ideal for a polite request, which is always preferred to a hostile takeover like in this twitter thread IMHO:

Palm trees look kind of like street signs, and show up in places street signs also show up. To recognize street signs, an AI needs both examples of street signs, and examples of things that look like street signs, but aren't.

It sounds like Canadian regulators screwed this up pretty royally. The First Nations counterexample is fairly compelling: farmers able to sell directly to consumers from a farmstand.

That being said, I am a little tired of authors trying desperately to work an anti-capitalist bent into their pieces where it doesn't fit. Critiquing capitalism is trendy! But calling for market deregulation — which is exactly what the author seems to be calling for with the First Nations example (the Indigenous farmers aren't running socialist collectives where each grows weed according to their ability and to each is given weed according to their needs; they're running weed farming businesses and selling weed for profit) — is hardly a critique of "shareholder capitalism." The problem doesn't seem to be the shareholding — and the author's banal assumption that Indigenous-owned businesses have no shareholders seems a little racist — the problem is Canadian farmers aren't easily able to sell their product due to Canadian regulatory burdens, and are forced into relationships with the few giant wholesalers who are able to comply. I'm sure the farmers' shareholders would love it if the Canadian regulatory burdens were eased, and somehow I don't think it was them lobbying for the regulation in the first place.
Knowing a password consists of three random words makes it significantly easier to guess it.

> Is it because I live in a third world country

Until I got there I was going to suggest that it was because you were too used to the scenes depicted - I'm not sure about the author (NYT contributor suggests but I think doesn't necessitate that he's American) but I think many Europeans find the scenes depicted quite unfamiliar and not in a particularly pleasant/intriguing/exciting way. The way towns & cities (to a large extent I'd even argue it seems North America doesn't have towns in any recognisable way) are organised is just different, designed around cars and big infrastructure, car parks and 'box stores' over high streets, etc.

I might not independently go as far as (or at least not recognise it as) 'depressing', but they're certainly not particularly 'nice' or 'pleasing' images to me either.
I think you're missing the point. It's (IPCC) goal is to provide governments with scientific assessment as well as the impact. This would include climate specialists, sustainability specialists, modellers, politicians, economists and many more.

How do you keep a messaging app offline.

> And you have the incorrect "hunch" that Apple is not a services company. And that they design systems that "benefit your privacy". They only design systems that tie you to _their_ systems. Wake me up when they design something that doesn't, which would start to look like real privacy.

Do you even knows what you're talking about? Or Apple is 100% a services company that's the whole point. They're a public company, following the money is easy, they make a lot of money off selling people services and hardware.

Meanwhile Google makes most of it's money selling people's data.

It's not rocket science figuring out which is easier to trust, but you just seem hellbent on rationalizing your opinions with more opinions stated as fact and vague paranoia.
