Yes, I agree, that is also my understanding. But convenience sample is sometimes a bad choice for assessing a hypothesis.

So I think these studies are very important for pushing the understanding futher but also they should be treated as you say "initial assessment".

In general I think science communication needs to be fixed or improved.

We are now in a time where general public can access them. And this is very good and more should be done for this. But also the structure of how we present these studies should be adapted.

Just publishing open a paper following this legacy structure and wording is not enough. I think the structure of a published paper should be changed to include quality assessments like for example (and this is only an example):

After Abstract we should always have a Method Summary with the following information:

a. Original Article | Secondary Article | Replica of Z |

b. Replicated | Not replicated yet | Replicated by Y,Z,T ...

c. Small Group Sample | Large Group Sample |

d. Convenience Sample | (Simple, Stratified, Clustered) Random Sample | ...

e. Observational | Experimental | Self-Reporting

f. Limitations of this paper: ....

Or something like this. Few people read (or have the know-how) to read the papers and also understand how to use that into a decision making process taking into consideration limitations.

Edit: added clarify about what I meant with my critique of convenience sample.
I like this observation.

To clarify, I was merely trying to point out that I had a rigid system of personal beliefs guiding me. My desire for success wouldn't override them. Whether or not these beliefs are good or bad -- that's for other people to decide.

I truly believe that having a "code" is essential for anyone who's chasing success/money/etc.
Wasn't the first patient in France confirmed, post-factum, to have been in November or October 2019? What would be the chances that US people travel to China less than the French?
> TUIs are primarily intended for environments where GUIs are either not [...] or overkill (e.g. very old computers).

You'd have to be using a very old computer considering Windows 3.0 worked even on an original IBM PC. Though granted, you needed at least a 386 for it to be usable.

Chances are your GUI toolkit is too bloated, but that is the fault of the toolkit you chose, not GUIs themselves - use a more lightweight toolkit.

> In terms of design and UX philosophy, they are much more concentrated on keybased rather than mousebased interaction

This is up to the application, there is nothing that forbids GUIs to be fully keyboard controlled (in addition to mouse of course).

> and bring their own set of conventions that are markedly different from GUI design philosophy.

Pretty much every TUI either has its own set of conventions or mimics established GUIs or a mix of both, so not really.
You're afraid that you're like him, that someday you will look back with regret. You react by attacking him, trying to convince yourself that he's wrong, that he's the one with emotional baggage. That's called projection. Take your own advice before offering it to others.
I don’t know specifically about Nigeria… so I’m going to talk about Ghana. We’re next door, and may have the same issues.

In Ghana, there is no large scale distribution system for… anything.

All the supermarkets source their own products directly, and handle warehousing and transportation on their own. This basically has lead to South African firms owning the entire market because they have preexisting supply chains.

Nigeria may have this same issue but it’s naturally paved over by the country being about 20x richer, thus more merchants can simply go it on their own.
You could just ignore it and people would get bored after a while. Maybe a small following would persist. But that would require you not to be full of indignation against others and who am I kidding here.
What do you mean physicians don't know about this. The existence of memory T-cells is common knowledge. It is taught in school.
You don't need to read the Guardian to know the idea is silly.

They don't want to permit gold and silver mining, which would give them the ability to employ people and back their national currency with something. Instead, they're thinking "Screw that, all I need is 100 BTC ATMs". Sure, let's see how that works!
I guess that's fair.

But I have an inclination to say that for an organization to to accomplish amazing things with consistency over the kind of timespan of a government or nation, the organism has to be self-sustaining.

Part of that is the capability to attract or create talented new members of your organization, and one way of getting that done is by having a reputation for, among other things, being an excellent and efficient workplace.

I've read and heard stories of places and groups like Fairchild Semiconductor, Bell Labs, the Manhattan Project; places where smart people have gotten together to do incredible things very quickly.

The one unifying theme is that they all lasted, at their peak, essentially one or two generations at most; they couldn't grow or sustain themselves.
Craig Wright is a liar and a fraud.
This is certainly true. I use Emacs just for Org-Mode and magit. That’s how good both of those are.

Obvious xenophobia aside, Australia is hardly trying to remake itself in China's image.
Once you postulate a reality where Windows 95 was an unbundled product, a few things change:

* It becomes much easier to make legal noise about Microsoft pricing. If they're saying "Buy Windows 4.0 and we'll give you MS-DOS 7.0 free, or for some token sum" it's pretty obviously market dumping. If you had to pay, hypothetically $50 for MS-DOS 7 and $50 for "Windows 4", instead of a single $100 package, Caldera can compete with a $30 DR-DOS product even without having a Windows clone.

* There could still be a territory war over the quality of the underlying DOS. This was still a time when you'd have a lot of games, in particular, that required a drop down to DOS mode.

* There was also the opportunity to sell features that still had DOS components involved more modularly. I'm thinking about FAT32 in particular, because I can recall radio advertisements boasting about it to try to sell Win95 users on upgrading to 98 or 98SE. What if you could pay $10 and get a DR-DOS competitive upgrade that supported it instead of a full $100 upgrade with a bunch of features you didn't care about?

In such an environment, there could have still been 5 or so years of DR-DOS as a viable commercial product until the much less unbundlable NT-based Windows went mainstream. That's a significant amount of runway. Their pivot from there is not obvious-- I can imagine some attempt at a Linux distribution with a tightly integrated WINE setup, but that might have been too much to ask for at the time.

I also wonder how a Microsoft that had been clearly slapped and told "you must play well with others" in 1995 or so would have behaved over the next 20 years. The trajectory of IE would have likely been very different, and I wonder if they would have handled some of the other Office competitors with kid gloves to avoid legal scrutiny. Maybe even some healing of the rift with IBM on OS/2, so they could point and say "look, we're interoperable, here's another compatible product."
Yeah, unless you want shaders, that's pretty much it. The irony is that most of the GPU based terminals takes little to no advantage of doing anything fancy with shaders which would be the main other thing they can offer.

But even there CPU based rendering can be fast enough for most things. E.g. I hacked xst to add outlines by just crudely rendering things three times, and that was more than fast enough still on CPU only.

The current glow I add with shaders on Kitty would be hard to do fast enough, but a close approximation with cached glyphs would not be hard.
Nowhere else in the non-authoritarian world has any regulation remotely like this. This is not the same as age limits on alcohol or cigarettes or gambling. They are limiting a leisure activity to a specific “CCP approved” window complete with a real-id and facial recognition tracking system.

This is a horrendous infringement on personal liberty. No human should ever have to endure government mandates over such trivial parts of their lives “for the greater good”. This tactic is used by the likes of the Taliban who banned painting, music, sports etc.

I mentioned the great firewall to illustrate what Chinas real goals here are: total and absolute control over their citizens. The CCP restricts access to free information, political dissent, and freedom of religion.

These are new laws being introduced which would make it illegal for a teenager to play ONLINE CHESS on a Wednesday. How is this not overreach? If the dark software patterns were really the issue they would just make the loot boxes and micro purchases illegal. It’s 100% about power.
I think part of it is that what good is your TUI if it doesn't work with, you know, a terminal, hooked up on a serial port? Where you will be unable to have anything but "shifted" and "control" characters easily recognisable. Some terminals did have a "meta"-equivalent key that simply forced the highest bit on, making them INSTANTLY incompatible with anything but US ASCII.

Sure, you can write a TUI library that allows you to interact with "idealised terminal of choice", but I'd prefer one that works with one of the serial terminals I actually have, somewhere, around the place.
I agree that the time restriction is a blunt instrument.

Is there regulation of gambling / addiction-inducing practices in video games? At all?
Interestingly, Israel has solved a lot of these problems by making military service mandatory.

Essentially, the moment you have to join the Army, you might as well look for the best possible place for you. This make the top units (whether technology units or otherwise) extremely competitive, and filled with the top talent the country can offer. In addition, these top units become desired in the resume, further increasing their desirability.
I've said this before, but if they treat this like a physical fantasy console, then judging by the success of pico 8 I don't think they'll have much of an issue with success.
Really? Sorry to hear it. That's atypical for Apple, but you know...they bought it.
Thank you - that looks awesome. Look forward to exploring.
Here is the difference. Next to nobody wears a suit for themselves. You wear a suit to project a certain image. What I distrust are your motivations for projecting that image.

Sneakers, jeans, and a hoodie are just comfortable. I don't wear that to project anything.
Wrong. The past is not the future. The future is the future. Facebook is Facebook, AOL was AOL.
Firing bad government workers is part of the path to that. Higher pay for those remaining could be implemented in conjunction, perhaps.
Sounds comfortable. How long of a flight are we talking?

Tips for Effective Go Tests
As a developer I don't think I get to see most of what a manager does, other than they are in meetings all day long that I don't attend. So I am not inside the logistics of what they do. But I guess you attend all the meetings your managers do and you know everything they do?

That seems to be a surprisingly inefficient company structure.

Yeah, but it also clearly states that they don't want to go the legal threat route. So I don't know. I think that thsi think was clearly mishandled by both sides
If VPN logged user data, they would undermine their business model. I recommend VPN. Yes, it is a trust exchange from one provider to another, but the business incentive is a different one. It shouldn't be the case, but providers are exposed to third party information access by now.
That could be a thing, but I achieved this unconsciously, so it's all luck.

By contrast, I was miserable through the entirety of high school and a good chunk of university:
I _really wanted to code_ and nothing else at the time.
For the surrounding parts of being a developer, I think I appreciate those more or less by maturing taste. Same way as the first beer you have is terrible, then you discover the interesting parts.

Also yes, I'm very happy at work, I was happy even in bad situations for some weird reason. But I'm also very happy in life in general, so it's probably a combination of both.

Before they had to enter your life as a stranger, gain your trust, and convince you to break the law.

The materials are indeed worth recycling but the process is just too expensive and complicated.

Best examples would be devices like phones/microwave/tv they contain lots of those rare materials.

Industrial simply prefer to sell junks for cheap in bulk to the African continent where very poor people burn those junks to extract the rare minerals.

It’s not as simple as « 100% recyclable = Always Recycled »
Yeah but like, those are still huge cities

$100k/yr is still enough to provide for a family of four in a huge number of places in the U.S. if you're in a more suburban or rural environment, which is still 9 digits' worth of human beings easily

Nice article, but I can't decide if the person is happy or unhappy about the decision to turn the hobby into a job. The moment when she started doing commissioned work felt like a bad idea, but she seems to be managing it. That's the worse part of skilled work to me -- having to do ideas of other people, as if you're just a tool.

This mug is green and yellow because that's what I like. No, I can't make it blue.
I feel like your argument is the kind that sounds sort of intuitive in isolation, but is nonsensical in context.

How much of the inputs into fossil fuel generators are recycled? Massively more coal, gas, oil etc. is consumed than the amount of wind turbine blades that will go to landfill. Then there’s the byproducts - in Australia, coal ash is literally 22% of all waste generated across the whole country per year. It just goes to landfill!

Facebook's slogan was never "move fast and break things", by the way. It was shortened to that by the public. The actual slogan was "Move fast and don't be afraid to break things".
Well but XML was supposed to be the abstraction to rule them all.

Instead we have ended up with an overly bureaucratic format and process that is mostly used for paper-pushing and vendor lock-in pretty much.
Imagine you’re working at a startup and trying to solve a tough real-world problem by creating software that involves writing some CRUD APIs. You bring on someone to the team who says, “we gotta stop writing these pointless CRUD APIs and write compilers instead.”

I’m not trying to be dismissive, but I think this actually well illustrates the central tension between engineers who are more interested in the business problem and ones who are more interested in solving technology problems. I know that when you get to a later stage as a company you need both kinds of engineers, but at an earlier stage company you have to ensure all of your engineers are of the former kind and not the latter kind or you will probably not succeed.
I really like the idea of free-floating scheduling.

Snowden living a great life in Moscow? He's trapped in that country, maybe even that city, he can't go home to the US or travel anywhere because of the risk of getting arrested by America-friendly governments (or who knows if the CIA has worse plans). If what he wanted was the money, he was a well-paid consultant living in Hawaii, in your world of what you think his motivation is, he would've been better off shutting up and being a cog in the giant surveillance machine.

Is this the same thing or related to Australian police having the power to compel (under threat of 10 years imprisonment to those who refuse) systems administrators to aid in investigations?

So much this. I tried starting a business doing something I love and I found out I don’t love doing accounts and supply chain management for it. I canned it and a £20k investment within a year.

Now I do something I dislike that I’m good at. This is the best balance I have found as the contrast from work is vast when I do the things I love and that is important. Also it forces your motivations to be efficient and decisions to be in favour of things you love which inevitably ends up with more time to do them.
Thank you. I'd second Bruckner and the Chicago brass!

The Lucerne Mahler 2 is a great performance - but it's also special for other reasons: Claudio Abbado had previously been Chief Conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic but has diagnosed in 2000 with stomach cancer and had to stand down. After severe surgery he was able to return to conducting (I think for the first time) in Lucerne with an orchestra of musicians that were hand picked by Abbado from the world's greatest orchestras and chamber ensembles. So a hugely emotional event as well as a great performance.
oh good point, i didn't even think
Ok, so firstly to your question, it sounds like you aren't happy at the company, not just that they may, or may not be unhappy with your fit. Personally in my experience, managers will only push someone out if they are continuously bad at their job and even then they'll spend months trying to find another solution.

I do agree with others here that you need to sit down and really think about what type of company you want to work for and start there.

It does sound to me that this company has process issues...tickets that are too big for a sprint, manager is micro-managing instead of letting the team self-manage etc. I think the team could do with a bit of space and time to figure out what their flow is. In software development there are those who fit well into a procesa driven culture and there are others who prefer more fluid approaches. You seem like the latter.

I had an interesting experience with the registrar of a less-known ccTLD. I was happy to get my company’s three-letter domain at a fitting ccTLD, and had reluctantly accepted that the TLD doesn’t allow WHOIS privacy. Shortly thereafter I was straightening out a name server issue out with my registrar and I mentioned the WHOIS privacy bummer. Their response was something like “Oh, no problem. I’ll change it.”

Our WHOIS entry now has our registrar’s version of “Domains by Proxy” as the contact, despite the ccTLD not allowing Whois privacy. (And it was free.)

> Just because a control convention existed before other implementations, it doesn't automatically make it good.

Conversely, just because CUA became the de facto standard in Windows and Linux doesn't make it good, either. They became standardized as a consequence of Windows becoming the most popular operating system and the only reason you're advocating for it is because it's what you are comfortable with, not because it has any meaningful advantages over other keyboard shortcut paradigms.
