> The people who really need these and have tried everything else or struggled for years with ADHD really find the "you are just going to be an addict, have you tried meditation" approach patronizing.

Absolutely. It's a really frustrating experience too when you're denied access to these life-altering (not an exaggeration) medications for these reasons even when you have years of medical records detailing your condition and your treatment needs. I went to community college in a small town for the first two years of my degree; I had a great doc there who was happy to make sure I was getting the right doses for my condition and would check in with me every few weeks to see if anything had changed. After getting my associate's, I moved to a much larger city to transfer to a college roughly 10x the size of my community college for my bachelor's degree. I found a reputable local doc, got my medical records transferred, and made an appointment (required for a controlled substance) to continue my prescription.

You know what he told me?

"Oh, since this is a college town with several colleges and a lot of students looking to abuse 'study drugs', our policy is that we don't treat your condition here. But I have some resources on meditation and mindfulness that you should look through."

I got the same kind of answer at two other offices before I got fed up and asked my original doc to get me a referral to a psychiatrist who wouldn't blow me off like these quacks had.

I'm not saying that substance abuse isn't a problem, but I also don't think that treating everybody like children and drug seekers is the right call. But hey, n=1 and I'm just some guy with a beard- YMMV.
I don't actually think having hits for your name through google is the most pressing privacy issue we face today. if I can find you by searching your name, one of two things is likely true: 1) you have opted in to indexing by having a public facebook, linkedin, etc., or 2) your name has appeared in a news article. the solution to 1) is pretty simple; don't have public profiles with your real name if you don't want to be indexed. 2) is a more subtle issue, but is more of an issue with news articles than google.
Yeah, the Stormlight Archive is very re-readable.

I'd also recommend the Licanius Trilogy in the same vein -- it's one of the best pieces of time travel fiction, while also having a solid emotional journey for the protagonist to go through with fate, loss and regret.

Ryiria was also published entirely over the last ten years, unless Google is deceiving me.

The Science Fiction I've enjoyed the most over the last ten years (everything by Julie Czerneda) was mostly written more like 10-20 years ago, although the second Web Shifters and the Reunification trilogy were more recent.

Aside from that, the big thing of the last ten years for me has been LitRPG. I can't get enough of it, good, bad, high-concept, self-referential, explicitly game-like or incidentally.
That salary one is great, I’ve used similar strategies to help people negotiate pretty large bumps when interviewing. It’s funny to see the sophistication of the recruiter on the other side (while they’re pretending not to be).

One social thing I learned though is that some people are weird about it - not the recruiters but the friends you’re trying to help negotiate. They’re afraid to do it and instead rationalize how it won’t work and then get angry if you try to persuade them that it’s possible.
Most of these thefts utilize "relay attacks" that simulate the key being in close proximity to the car, using directional antennas to interrogate the key that's sitting in the house and then relay it back to the car. The solution is to disable the proximity feature, but that's inconvenient.
Yes, but it's a bit gimmicky, more for novices and discovery than power users.

Am I insane here, or does Excel generally do a very good job of handling almost all CSV files.

I don't really see a need for a metadata file, nor would I ever see Excel or other tools accepting it. The main problem is adoption, CSV isn't perfect but it's what we have. Now if you wrote this as a member of the Excel team at Microsoft, and then Excel had the option of exporting CSV files with a metadata file, then I'd be a bit more excited.

Programmers are essentially a type of translator. They translate constraints expressed in human language to constraints expressed as computer language.

At the higher levels you have more say how exactly that happens in terms of system topology, but at that point you're no longer just a programmer, but an architect.
Two sources of personal information leaks that are difficult to counteract are voter registration and USPS change of address, both of which are publicly available. In the case of voter registration, as soon as I updated my phone number last year, I went from no spam to getting dozens of SMS spam message per day. About 80% of it was political but the other 20% is the standard scam spam. The political spam mostly ended after the election (there's sometimes fund raising pleas) but the scam stuff continues on. The USPS change of address information quickly ends up on all of those "Your Life" type sites. It's frustrating that such basic government functions end up making it easier for others to track and prey on you.
It checks how the loop can be exited, assumes that the loop must exit and thus take the code path that exits it, and then applies optimizations to remove everything it doesn't need to find the result.

Given that education funding is done by the states, that's like saying the Federal government spends 10 times as much on welfare as on police and firefighting.

I mean, OK, but that's only because the second part of your comparison isn't a federal government responsibility and there are only certain targeted initiatives (mostly pork-barrel) that fall into that category. Same for federal spending on education.

But when you look at all government spending on education, it's very clear that we spend more on education (5% of GDP, not counting loan guarantees) than on defense (3.7% of GDP). Except education is funded by local government whereas defense is funded by the federal government.
> Just because someone isn’t constantly and overtly cruel to their “imported labor” does not mean they aren’t exploitative.

While true. What’s also interesting is “exploitative” is often through the modern western lens. It’s also a sliding scale where it is quite often seen as a good deal from labor’s perspective. In my previous example, the Filipino’s generally loved the arrangement. They got to travel and send a good deal of money home. It was a highly sought after position from their perspective. My experience is limited to about 10 days in the region and what I heard from American expats, but the hard labor forces also generally liked the arrangement. It offered opportunities that did not exist wherever they immigrated from. It was not without risks as no/low worker safety or OSHA concepts are in effect. Also just what we would consider fair labor practices, just didn’t exist. I’m sure slavery does exist as well because the opportunity is very present.
Yup, but that leaves you at a draw for existing assets and you depend on production capacity after that.
No, not at all. How much will they print? 23% of GDP? 18% of GDP? That’s $1T difference in cash. How will that affect inflation? Who knows, no one can predict that. A shrinking dollar is bad for imports and America has a huge trade deficit right now, it would cripple international trade.

I generally support the ACLU mission, but they have antagonized me ever since I started a recurring donation a few years ago. For reasons, I decided to stop the recurring donation, but ACLU is just like the NY Times and many other places -- easy to sign up, damn near impossible to get them to stop. E-mails, phone calls, nothing. Ultimately I just declared the card stolen and had it reissued with a new number.

On top of that, at some point they must have asked if it was okay to contact me, and I must have inadvertently said yes, and now I get regular text messages from random people across the country asking if I will help out. About half the time it's for something in a state (like Georgia during the election) which is several thousand miles from where I live. No amount of begging has gotten this flow of unsolicited text messages to stop.
Hard disagree on Ancillary Justice, I thought it was a standout book, and considering it won the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C Clarke, Locus First Novel, and tied for the BSFA award I wasn't the only one.
yeah. That might work out, but my investments are diversified more. I have real estate in the form of my house. I have stocks and bonds in my 401k. I have government in my social security. They are completely separate, so if any one fails I'm still okay. (well if the government fails I'm probably in trouble no matter what, but social security is limited at best)

I'm saying that objectively people who are privileged by existing broken systems and people who are uneducated both make bad choices.

If we made college free I would absolutely be OK with making completing a degree a prerequisite to being allowed to vote along with an IQ test every 10 years excluding people under 90 and a pop quiz on current events where people who couldn't answer such questions as who their senators are would see their vote go straight in the trash.

Excluding people who are lazy, stupid, or ignorant would result in a better decision making process. None of this is politically possible.
I do, but I had the impression that those are a bit expensive in other countries.

It has the right asymptotic guarantees for a hash map, but beyond that it doesn't have much going for it. The degree to which it emphasizes pointer/iterator stability and arbitrary load factors is not a good tradeoff in almost any practical case (unless you do not care about performance).

It doesn't. It pontificated, not predict. Predictions say "this, and only this, can and will happen". Fictional pontification says "this is one of the millions of things that might happen, let's have a look at how one of another million ways it can play out, plays out."

The difference between the two couldn't be bigger.

> The IRS will then involve other law enforcement agencies, sharing the data submitted

Let's be real, if the IRS really wanted that money they'd have thousands of anonymous cash drop boxes

One of the problems is that there is no competition among 3 letter agencies

In this case the interests of the IRS and the DEA are orthogonal , but the IRS doesn't worry about it (as a private entity would) because they can just ring a bell and get everybody involved , but the problem is that there is nobody asking themselves if the whole process which is about to be put in motion will be a net negative or net positive for all the stakeholders

In a private organization the C-suite executive thinks about this question many times before ringing said bell, regardless of what the black ink on the white paper says.

The mental and organizational agility is the real difference between the private and public sector.

In the private sector, if the rules don't make sense they are broken and later eliminated, the opposite happens in the public sector.

Laws upon laws are made, no law is ever eliminated, and red tape submerges the whole organization

AMD wasn't even in the picture at that time really. Meaning their marketshare of desktop pc's were so low that no one had them. Back in those days it was Intel vs Cyrix.
Anyway to self-host this? I don't see much use for other people on my team seeing my line-by-line edits in real time in their own editor as opposed to just watching on screen share, but I like to work on multiple hosts on my own LAN and it's annoying to have to push to a git server to synchronize, and easy to forget. I tried to just mount all of my repos via NFS, but the performance was atrocious and git didn't seem to like it, and I aborted the effort rather than try to figure out why. Going out to the Internet when you're only trying to synchronize on a LAN is pretty wasteful. Of course, even on teams that want to use this, plenty of them will be on the same LAN if they're working out of an office, and might want a service like this only on their own LAN to avoid wasting ISP bandwidth to synchronize between people in the same literal room.

Honestly, I feel with something like this, it'd be nice if you created some sort of "lib{NAME}" with functionality to synchronize some subset of versioned, diffable files between directories, that may or may not be on the same host. The primary motivation would be to build your own service on top of that library, but then other people could build different services on top of it to suit their own needs. Sort of how there is such a rich variety of alternative package managers for Arch Linux because all of the core pacman functionality is encapsulated in libalpm.
> If one school out of 100 has a race-blind and merit-based admissions process it will quickly end up with way more discriminated people than the population levels of qualified applicants would suggest, because they are being actively pushed out of the other 99. That is probably how this high school ended up with a 70% Asian figure; I've heard the stereotypes about Asians and math but I doubt the differences are that big.

This does not make sense given TJ and FCPS. There are no other local schools similar to TJ that have similar admissions systems that could exclude asian americans. Further, many people do not believe that the old system was "merit based", given the widespread proliferation of test prep that does not focus on actual knowledge useful for a STEM education but instead focuses on test taking strategies. You can think of the TJ-Test as the LeetCode of high school admissions tests.
I think your hypothesis about confidence in the last paragraph is right on the mark.

Iirc there were studies done trying to assess the same thing with regards to Adderall (aka amphetamine salts, which is used for adhd similarly to Ritalin). The researchers came to that exact same conclusion, that the drug didn’t actually make people smarter, but it gave them an illusion of being more capable, and they ended up performing better due to confidence.[0]

Even just being able to download a tarball of the HTML of the infoboxes would be really powerful, setting aside the difficulty of, say, translating them into a consistent JSON format.

That plus a few other key things (categories, opening paragraph, redirects, pageview data) enable a lot of powerful analysis.

That actually might be kind of a neat thing to publish. Hmmmm.
The issue is that China needs energy and other natural resources to sustain production which the US and allies can effectively blockade. It always puzzles me why China is so antagonistic with its neighbours. Indochina is very difficult to invade, and the whole South China Seas situation means that China has no blue ocean access into the Pacific. In a global war, the only reliable lifeline into China is through Russia.

I think Medicare is clearly a tax, it can't be an insurance program because there's no connection between 'premiums' and benefits.

Social security is nominally a government sponsored pension, but the payout ratios are weird, and it's compulsory, so I feel it's fair to call it a tax.

Same with at least the employee portion of compulsory unemployment insurance. Maybe that's generally an actuaraily sound program (I think the employer contributions may be), but in times of economic stress, payments increase and I don't think that's covered by premiums. I know there's a cap on benefits, but I'm not sure if there's a cap on contributions? Anyway, seems similar to Medicare and I'd call it a tax, too.
The people who can't code any longer are still typically able to describe an algorithm, at least in pseudocode.

Whiteboarding Yet Another Graph Search Problem With Perfect Syntax[1] might be beyond their current short-term abilities, but I'd be surprised if they couldn't produce pseudocode and architectural design that solves most real-world problems.

On the other hand, there are plenty of "seniors" who couldn't write code in the first place.

Nomad also scales really well. In my experience swarm had a lot of issues with going above 10 machines in a cluster. Stuck containers, containers that are there but swarm can't see them and more. But still i loved using swarm with my 5 node arm cluster, it is a good place to start when you hit the limit of a single node.

> The only serious downsides is having to use the HCL DSL ( https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl ) and their web UI being read only in the last versions that i checked.

1. IIRC you can run jobs directly from UI now, but IMO this is kinda useless. Running a job is simple as 'nomad run jobspec.nomad'. You can also run a great alternative UI ( https://github.com/jippi/hashi-ui ).

2. IMO HCL > YAML for job definitions. I've used both extensively and HCL always felt much more human friendly. The way K8s uses YAML looks to me like stretching it to it's limits and barely readable at times with templates.

One thing that makes nomad a go-to for me is that it is able to run workloads pretty much anywhere. Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Illumos and ofc Mac.
This is a 26% drop in the Asian population at the High School. That is a pretty big drop in what was a purposeful policy change. If we were to replace Asian with some other ethnicity in this circumstance, where the institution decided there was too many of X, and changed policies for it to be more "equitable" I believe there would be a much larger outcry, and not just from people that support meritocracy.

Nothing is 'wrong' with it. You just do it at the detriment of your own career.
Another angle: there is a huge non-public industry of cataloging all the public and not so public information. Available to whoever is ready to pay.
