> does passing the vibe check actually matter? Or whose doing the checking?
> should we call you out on your usage?

You're asking all the right questions.

Lately, it seems that the only thing that matters is passing the vibe check.

Things that surprisingly pass the vibe check:

* "long time no see" or "no can do" -- making fun of broken English (particularly Chinese and Native American)

* "got gypped" -- clearly insulting toward gypsies

* criticism from the "peanut gallery" -- that's a reference to poor seating for black people during the Vaudeville era, which is super racist by any standard

Things that unsurprisingly don't pass the vibe check but should if people were more educated:

* "jimmies" for sprinkles has a pop culture reputation for being racist and people have corrected me for saying it, but actually ice cream sprinkles were just invented by a guy named James

* "niggardly" shares no root with its racist homophone

* "那个" is a filler word that chinese speakers need to be careful with because of the same racist homophone

I get that language is always evolving and the vibe check does matter to lots of people, so I try to accommodate the sensibilities of the masses.

I know that "niggardly" is so uncommon these days that it practically is a racist dog whistle (though it really shouldn't be), so I wouldn't use it in daily speech.

But I also think it would be a shame if all the interesting turns of phrase that have stuck around over the years are intentionally censored and removed until we have nothing but bland language without metaphor or history or anything that could possibly cause offense.

"Opening the kimono" is certainly not a phrase worth censoring. I think you could make a good faith argument that trying to censor it is actually a reflection of racist and sexist American stereotypes about Japanese people.
It is pretty common for some pure mathematics papers to be pretty much book length anyway these days, say 80 pages or more.

To throw my suggestion in there, the FitOn app[1,2] is free and separates exercises into categories and intensities, and you can even sort by time if want.

The instructors are pretty good, and if you just want to try out Yoga for a week or two and see how difficult it can really be I can recommend it.

I normally do 15 minutes over lunch, and I can recommend the "Flamingo Flow" for balance, and "yoga core" for core strength

This is only half true. Many of my Chinese friends, especially affluent ones who have spent time abroad, both know and hate what Xi is doing to their country. Behind closed doors and or while walking in parks in Shanghai and Beijing I've spoken with people who still mourn friends lost in Tiananmen, who found Xi's removal of term limits deeply unsettling, and who dream of religious freedom in Tibet and Xinjiang.

China is full of a great many intelligent and aware people who are working hard to reclaim their country. Lots of the most progressive folks I know are working within the government, making day-to-day decisions as low level bureaucrats to dull the sharp edge of totalitarianism wherever they can.

Perhaps a modest number of Chinese people genuinely don't care much for anything other than stability and profit. However, the heart of China still beats for independence and many good people are waiting for their chance to reclaim the country.

(1) It is population level rational to have diversity. Sometimes acting irrationally has payoffs because something wildly unexpected happens.

(2) There is an almost endless list of things people do that are to their detriment. A core part of libertarianism is that people have to be free to make their own mistakes. We don't mandate exercise, prudent spending, safe sex practices or sensible family planning. The reasons to mandate vaccination are not robust enough to justify mandating that either.

Although I think it is humourous that the "my body my choice" slogan is being studiously avoided by both wings of politics at the moment.

We are a nation that celebrates political individualism, which is where the term "liberalism" (little L) comes from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Individualism Individualism is not at competition with the characteristics you described, but it does put freedom squarely on the individual for better or for worse.

Obesity is in itself a sickness in many cases. I think the implication that people "do it to themselves" really ignores the large pile of evidence that shows that it's really difficult to treat it effectively. Similarly other examples such as alcoholism or other substance addiction suffer from the same issue.

When it comes to vaccine hesitation I am not sure where to draw the line. It's a very emotional topic apparently and it seems rational arguments only go so far.

That said, I think if a society only treats those medical emergencies deemed to have a "non-egoistical" cause Pandora's box will come to haunt us sooner or later. We should save humans whenever we can. That's just the cost of doing business so to speak.

There is no such thing as backend. It is interfaces all the way down

When people say they don't like frontend, they just mean they don't like implementing GUI designs as opposed to CLIs, APIs, and all the other kinds of non-visual interfaces. And why would anyone enjoy translating existing designs into code. It's rote and finicky; there's little scope for creative decision making and few hard logical reasoning problems to chew on (note that I'm not talking about architecting complex async business logic, but just the translating design specs into HTML&CSS part of the job). Also, CSS is an unholy abomination that is absolutely disgusting to work with

Implementing the designs should be part of the designer's job. That should be the price they are required to pay for getting to do the fun creative part. It's also more their speed as coding goes

I agree with your overall point, but I want to dig in on this bit:

> Not all functional languages have typeclasses or an alternative and convenient way to express these concepts, and in those, it's not so important to understand these notions abstractly.

This is true only in an especially strict sense. Haskell's typeclasses provide two basic mechanisms: one for associating a dictionary of data with a type, and one for automatically picking / deducing such a dictionary based on a given type. Only the latter is specific to Haskell (and Scala); the first can be performed even in Java, but you have to explicitly pass the desired dictionary (called a "trait") at all call sites. [0]

I legitimately use traits all the time in Java, and it even has some built-in ones, like Comparator. There's a great paper on the same fundamental technique at [1] (there called "object algebras").

Same. I find yoga and most stretching to be a waste of time. You can do mobility work with strength exercises.

Nothing transformed my life more then serious strength training. Everything from sitting behind a desk to running uphill is a hundred times easier.

I'm sure you can achieve the same strength with yoga, but it seems to me its very inefficient. You can do strength training 2-3 times a week for an hour and it just works.
Absolutely correct.

The problem with all that however is that I've been the strongest person of everyone around me for all my life and when I finally broke and needed somebody else to support me for 1-2 years, she wasn't (and still isn't) there to do that for me. So I continue my death march, at a great cost for my physical and mental health. And I keep a routine that helps me stay in shape but I can feel it every day that this is not what the soul wants. But eh, oh well.

She's an amazing woman and she'll crawl out of this eventually but in the meantime my needing help just broke her back and made her more depressed -- because she can't help the man she loves with exactly the thing he needs help with.

One of the things you said is very apt: indeed getting out of the local maximum and realizing the world is yours for the taking and that can you do so much more can be very frightening to a lot of people, her included. She's still struggling a lot with it and sometimes still wants to just get back to do house work and making some money on the side with a part-time job. I mean, eventually she might do just that but at least it will have been an informed choice, which IMO would be fair.

But yes, even arriving at "what do I want now?" in this situation takes a long time indeed. Which can be sad and discouraging when you watch as a side observer.

There are some huge (not insurmountable) obstacles to this happening. The biggest one, as I see it, is that so many mathematical objects need to be formalised into the system so that a theorem can even be stated, let alone its proof checked. Coming up with useful (and correct) formalisms of these objects, objects that mathematicians use constantly every day, are entire research projects of their own.

There are some excellent talks by Kevin Buzzard about this, and where he sees it going in the future from a mathematician’s perspective. We’re getting there but progress is slow, and a large part of why it’s slow is that modern mathematics is fantastically complicated.
Why not let them? A lot of things can only be learned through hardship.

>‘STAR WARS’ BACKERS TO AIR TV AD

>BY JAY SHARBUTT, NOV. 2, 1985 12 AM PT, TIMES STAFF WRITER

>Last May, a scientists’ group took to TV in Washington to oppose the Reagan Administration’s “Star Wars” proposal for a space-based missile defense system. Now, a group supporting the Strategic Defense Initiative, as the concept is formally known, will make its case as did the scientists--with a TV commercial.

>The two opposing sides are the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Coalition for the Strategic Defense Initiative. The former contends that a space-based missile defense system can’t be perfected, would militarize space and increase the possibility of nuclear war. The latter argues that such a system would work and prevent nuclear war.

>Although light years apart in their beliefs, the two organizations have one thing in common: Their 30-second commercials each use the powerful emotional appeal of a child facing a nuclear holocaust.

[...]

>Its commercial, which had a local TV test run in Washington on Oct. 12, opens with a child’s stick-figure crayon drawing of a family and a house, with a large sun shining above.

>A little girl is heard saying that she had “asked my Daddy what this ‘Star Wars’ stuff is all about. He said that right now we can’t protect ourselves from nuclear weapons and that’s why the President wants to build a peace shield.

>“It would stop missiles in outer space so they couldn’t hit our house. Then nobody could win a war . . . and if nobody could win a war, there’s no reason to start one.”

>As she speaks, a dome is drawn over the house and family. Incoming missiles strike the shield and are destroyed. The dome turns into a rainbow. Frowning faces become smiles, and the girl concludes with: “My daddy’s smart. Support the peace shield.”

[...]

>He says the coalition’s ad has three aims--the first a contention that a defense-in-space system is feasible right now. Another is to drum up public support for congressional backing of the Strategic Defense Initiative, or the “peace shield” as he calls it.

>The group also wants to air its ad, he says, “to offset the anti-SDI propaganda, such as has come from the Union of Concerned Scientists with their 30-second thing, which says what SDI is about is blowing up little children.”

>He referred to the union’s TV effort last May. That $10,000 commercial showed a little boy watching the night sky, singing a snatch of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.” Suddenly, a star explodes like a nuclear blast and an announcer says: “Heavens are for wonder, not for wars. Stop ‘Star Wars.’ ”

[...]
> The graph shows that those low p-values are more likely to be in papers, not that they’re more likely to occur.

It looks to me like the y-axis is measured in number of papers. The lower a p-value is, the more papers there are that happened to find a result beating the p-value.

So low p-values are more likely to occur a priori than high p-values are. This is most certainly not true in general. We might guess that psychologists are fudging their p-values somehow, or that journals are much, much, much, much, much, much, much more likely to publish "chewing a stalk of grass makes you walk slower, p < 0.013" than they are to publish "chewing a stalk of grass makes you walk slower, p < 0.04".

I've emphasized the level of bias the journals would need to be showing -- over fine distinctions in a value that is most often treated as a binary yes or no -- because it is much easier to get p < 0.04 than it is to get p < 0.013.
And is it still as performant with all those extensions that make it remotely close to a full blown IDE? Because as far as I know they can make it slow to a crawl.
