It is those skills, with the added nuance of doing it at speed. In this sense I think it's like getting fluent at reading and speaking a language: For some reason it gets harder as we get older.

Naturally there are some social barriers as well. The joy of playing music as a kid is that you're allowed to suck and everybody claps. As an adult, you're conscious of your own suckage, so you have to work on your skills alone. And when adding a skill like reading, you can already play and the reading is making it noticeably worse not better, until you get over that hump. Learning it by immersion gets harder when people expect you to be good at it.

Not saying it can't be done, but it just gets harder. It can certainly be done starting at middle school age, which is when most wind players start.

Now, get that fakebook out again, and use it for reading practice. That's a valuable resource. There's also a huge pile of classical guitar literature including etude books that are graded by level, so you can work through them progressively.

The weird thing about jazz is that the opportunities for doing actual reading are disappearing as the whole jazz and live music scene evolves. I've been lucky to play in larger jazz ensembles, where the charts are largely written out and reading is a vital skill, so I've been able to maintain my reading chops possibly better than some pro's.
Yeah agree, you can erase academics from that sentence. Academics mostly use Python and R and Python is actually super pragmatic.

Any word from the wise for those who want to get into ontologies?

Furthermore, do you know about any good resources regarding the process of capturing information into models? I've found books about solutions like Ecore & OWL, but I fail to find books about the practice of modelling in general.

Those numbers seem to match the numbers from the site I posted. The rational ground site also shows the numbers in relation to capacity. You can filter by state.

Based on the numbers and your original post, it doesn't seem to be a statewide issue. It is a localized issue of what seems an area covered by 10 hospitals.

The relevance is that hospitals having issues with capacity is not beyond the realm of normal.
I read the examples as a different architype. Not elites but communicators. Experts write to be carefully technically correct, standing up to the scrutiny of other experts. Pop-sci or more general communicators write to express the ideas in a fun or relatable way, sometimes mangling them.

Alberta, Canada right now is getting its medical system put through the ringer.

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta/article-alber...

During Canadas third wave hospitals were overwhelmed the point that people were dying while waiting for care.

In this case 6 patients died while waiting for cardiac surgery because the ICUs were overwhelmed dealing with Covid patients.

I was a Borland C++ Builder user back in version 3 through 5 (which correspond kind of closely to Delphi) and it was as lightweight and fast as a C++ IDE could be. I've used what it has become in version 10 and it's a disaster in comparison. It's massive, bloated, and nothing like the earlier IDEs that I remember. I've read that they have laid off/fired most of their in house staff and outsourced most of the work.
"Liberal democracies" are conflated with being part of the global upper class. Which major wealthy liberal democracy hasn't participated in colonialism or invasion in the last 200-300 years?

I assume there are proper aristocrats making your same argument about their way of life. That they are wealthy because they have the "right" system and not because they were born into a corner of the globe made prosperous by modern economic exploitation.
>Yes. It's virtually impossible with the physical security measures I employ

Do you live in a bunker or something? I'm interested in knowing what types of security measures you employ that protects your phone when you're unconscious for 8 hours. Moreover, the fact that you can adopt such security measures doesn't mean everyone else can or is willing to, and they'd rather have a technological solution. This is especially true if they're not the type of person to compile and flash their own ROMs.

>Also, if someone did that, my phone would either be left off/prompting encryption passphase - which would be incredibly suspicious,

Phones shut off all the time. It doesn't seem too implausible to fake an excuse, eg.

1. battery ran out

2. the power button was held too long (from being in an awkward position in your pocket?), forcing a reboot

3. flaky software crashing/hanging

> re-install my system

How can you trust the system was actually reinstalled? Do you disassemble your phone and flash the chips with your computer?

>having a separate device with /boot in a safe location is simple.

1. that doesn't actually fix the problem, just moves it around

2. I know of exactly zero phones that can boot off a removable device.
We had a domestic terror attack, invaded two countries that the terrorist organization lived and thrived in, removed and dismantled most of their support structure.

Admittedly we failed to rebuild the Afgani state. Gotta call it quits eventually, 20 years is one hell of a try.

We still took the most gold in the regular olympics though.

So probably in another 30 years when someone else makes a gaffe in that area.

Not a real answer because I've never deployed such a thing, but I could imagine using these functions to bootstrap an approximation procedure (e.g. newton-raphson, or something of the sort) so you're going to do an accuracy refinement anyways that is going to buy you more accuracy and guarantee convergence within <1 ulp in a subsequent step so you might as well use a fast instruction over an accurate one for the first step.
Wow, I've missed the times when websites were made to impress people.
Many other services also used to be like this. Think of Usenet aka. news. It is effective model when you think of Internet as network of networks. When there was real difference between connecting to your local area network, metropolitan area network or even wide area network.

Actually we have come quite far from those days and full speed point-to-point links between most points is somewhat realistic.

The thing that I really have trouble wrapping my head around is where each "thing" begins and ends, ex. for astronomically large bodies that take light years to travel across, how does it move and how does information propagate through it? I assume the simplest way to think of it is for every atom to have its own bar in the graph, and every "thing" is kind of "wiggly" as information travels through it.

But then that sounds like I'm describing the speed of sound, no? Maybe I'm confusing two concepts.
> Consider a lonely teenager whose internet friend one day stops replying so they go and make their own friend, and then maybe after "taking advice" from this friend goes to school with a gun?

But a person could give such "advice" too. Should we shut down text chat services that let humans talk to each other too?
> Rates of cancers etc are higher near military bases due to fuel handling incidents.

Avgas is only used in piston engines, and the military mostly flies turbines, which use ordinary jet fuel (which does not contain lead). They have some, but I think if you told the military "jets and turboprops only" it wouldn't be a big problem. (Not sure how they would train new pilots, however.)

If you're looking for disease/damage from lead in avgas, you want to find a little airport in the middle of nowhere that has a really good restaurant on the field ;)

https://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/avgas

> I am guessing it's still allowed because people who fly planes can afford to lobby.

People that fly piston engines do not have any money to lobby.

To me it feels very similar to why software engineers pay so much tax -- we get paid just enough to be dinged by things like the AMT, but not enough to afford lobbyists.
This whole thread has nods to moral high ground US citizens, versus the immoral scared H1B workers, who are /obviously/ the only ones who would implement such a dark pattern. Mind you we’re discussing an American company, working with American clients.

You seem to be one of those “assume good faith” people, who knows exactly what the others actually mean.
I second this. The fields the OP mentions in particular are all quite hard to making a living at right now. Journalism is especially brutal these days due to the decline of newspapers. Keeping the (lucrative!) tech job while building up skills, connections, and a track record is an excellent way to do it. Tech is also the kind of field where you can do part-time consulting and still make enough to get by, which can really help with a transition into the new career.

As for people who have done it, an example that comes to mind is Daniel Suarez, an IT consultant turned novelist: https://daniel-suarez.com/

I'd also recommend digging around for John Scalzi's recommendations. He's a former finance journalist turned novelist, so he has a lot of good advice about the practical and financial side of becoming a full-time writer. For example:

This specific speech pattern is pretty difficult to fake though. Anyone can talk like a surfer, but I think the average person would be pretty hard pressed to start imitating Alex Grey.
You are 100% wrong. The purpose of mandating the vaccine is to keep people from dying, particularly older, immune compromised people and kids who can't get the vaccine just yet. I'm tired of this damn limbo of somewhere in the middle. If you don't want to get a vaccine then don't work for one of the employers that will now be required to make sure their workers are immunized. Your rights end at the end of your nose. No one is going to come looking for you to drag you out to the street and get immunized. However if you want to participate with the rest of us then get vaccinated. Texas is currently a shit show of overcrowded hospitals, voter suppression laws, and pro-birther (but not pro life) people trying to install their theocracy. I know because I live here.
>The stronger magnetic field reduces turbulence

That's why I specifically said field gradients - i.e. the thing that gets larger when you have a stronger field in a smaller volume.

>it's the gradient of the pressure that generates turbulence

How exactly do you think that pressure is created?

Also, that link you provided is an editorial from one of the directors behind SPARC. If you want an objective analysis that is not geered towards possible investors, you need to look elsewhere. FYI, anyone selling you Q~10 designs without a considerable theoretical breakthrough is almost certainly conning you. If you don't believe me just look at how Lockheed's compact fusion reactor panned out. Stronger magnets are not some kind of miracle solution that will enable fusion tomorrow.
What I appreciate is keyboard navigation on demos, from any demo to Marquee even gradually transition from previous to next one without refreshing the whole scene.
You're right, it takes much longer to pick "no" or "customise" because the way it is implemented in 99% of the tracking tools is that it has to be opt-out and to do the opt-out the site loads a pixel that places a special opt-out cookie. Not saying this is a good thing, but it is a reality that it takes time to load so many opt-out pixels.

So there is a big change that this is a lot of outrage while there is no dark pattern here.
> You might protest that I could still infect you if I get COVID on the opposite side of town by infecting someone else who infects you. This is false. The person who actually infected you infected you

If you had reasonable actions available to you (wearing a mask, getting vaccinated) that you chose not to pursue, then yes, in my view you do bear some responsibility for continuing the chain of infection. If you had taken those reasonable actions then you bear no responsibility: it’s an act of nature that the chain passed through you.

If everyone who could get the vaccine did get it, then it’s almost certain that 10’s of thousands of people would be alive today just in the US and hospitals would not be under strain. Who are responsible for those 10’s of thousands of deaths if not those who chose not to act to protect their own lives and their communities?

You can choose your "freedom" over your life and your community, but you bear culpability for doing so. "Freedom isn’t free," as the saying goes.
I tried to hook up a midi keyboard to a raspberry pi, for my kid to practice piano but it didn’t work well. Was Ubuntu Mate with timidity soft synth. Latency was about half a second from key press to sound which made it unplayable. Not sure what else could be done but hopefully this project is a solution.
TFA implicitly conflates "leadership" and "management", suggesting that the author is oblivious to the distinction.

Even when the author describes dividing the responsibilities of "leadership" among multiple people, they describe dividing both leadership and management responsibilities between those people.

This is an authoritarian model that makes the local despot the bottleneck for the team: Decisions end up being routed through the "leader", individual growth and development and team value is constrained within the scope of the "leader".

These constrained teams have limited potential, and so, because of the leader's limited focus and the departure of team members who feel constrained, the organization develops cracks and holes in responsibility and ability to act on opportunities.

Managers who subscribe to this authoritarian model promote authoritarians, capable technical contributors who want more control over the part of the system they and their peers have been working in.

The best managers don't have a hard time finding talent for open positions on their teams: They already have networks of former employees and peers that they can use. Indeed, the employees of the best managers recruit for their teams as soon as positions open up.

But virtually all of the job postings you'll see publicly (especially for replacement positions or incremental growth) are described solely in terms of the project and the expected technical skill requirements rather than or in addition to the attributes that make a team more than a collection of extra appendages for a "leader". E.g. team values and non-values, the existing roles and expertise of the other team members and how the open position will complement those, the team's norms around work-life-balance and communication, etc, etc.

I think that the average manager at a tech company is not a good manager, and that the larger the company the lower the average (smaller companies just fail with bad managers). But by far most open positions at any time are positions reporting to bad managers.
Edit: the flagged / removed comment asked Americans when we are going to stop remembering 9/11

I don’t like the tone of your comment (“you got 9/11’d” tells me you were probably very young when it happened or have very little empathy for those involved), but if I may get patriotic:

It doesn’t. That day will be equivalent in history to Pearl Harbor in the sense that it dragged us into a long war and conflict, and it was an attack on American soil.

Remembering the innocent lives lost, those first responders who gave a heroic but futile effort to rescue the innocent, and the resulting war (and it’s associated failures - WMDs) is important for the fabric and culture of the country. Some of the other reasons to remember include that it can happen again, not to take freedom for granted, and that how we respond is very, very important if a similar event happens in the future.

The Americans that died that day, those on flight 93 and those first responders that climbed against the crowd to try to save lives, they represent the best of us and the American ideal. In the face of adversity and uncertainty they took action to fight back and made the ultimate sacrifice. Why should we stop remembering them and what they did that day?
The issue is that the sample might be highly biased. If it's just 31 white males from Lubbock Texas then what does it even say? Stoners in that town speak different?

You're generalizing too much by averaging averages, so that your numbers are off. Salaries depend on university, campus, field, etc.

These are average salaries over 5 years ago:

"The Daily Californian created a database of professor pay-checkers in 2016 that shows the variation in inter-departmental salaries for the 2015 year. For example, average professor salary was $326,230 for the economics department, $202,711 for the electrical engineering department and $163,035 for the English department."
> Toward the end of the nineteenth century, and into the early twentieth, legendary Arctic explorers like Fridtjof Nansen still swore by useless remedies like unspoilt meat.

Good article, but this line stuck out. Meat can be a useful source of vitamin C. The way people have survived in the arctic for thousands of years is, at least in part, by eating raw meat. Raw, for the same reason eating raw vegetables is preferable: vitamin C is fragile. That it should be unspoiled meat goes without saying. So, whether it worked in particular cases or not, it is definitely not a useless remedy.

Here's a reference for the Inuit getting their vitamin C from sources like fish, birds, caribou, seals, whales, etc:

> this "study" was searching for myocarditis symptoms in the VAERS database and extrapolating from there

It's fair to be critical of this study. However it's important to be aware that the CDC is conducting their own investigation of myocarditis and myopericarditis associated with vaccination. The CDC reviews VAERS reports and then actively investigates them, keeping a tally of the cases that meet the CDC's own stringent criteria.

According to the CDC (as of August 18th), for males age 16-17 the reporting rate of myopericarditis after 2 doses of Pfizer is 71.5 per 1 million doses administered (0.0071%). For males aged 18-24 the reporting rate after 2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna is ~37 per 1 million doses (0.0037%) [1]. They note that for males the observed cases exceed the expected cases by a significant amount in age groups through 49 years.

> myocarditis occurs at a rate of about 200/million in general

For accurate scientific discussion it's important to stratify by age. Following the reference chain from your citation, the important nuance is that "more than one-half of all cases [of myocarditis in the pediatric population] are seen in the first year of life" [2]. Consequently the incident rate you've cited isn't quite as representative as you suggest. This fact is in alignment with the CDC mentioning that the observed cases of vaccine associated myocarditis are greater than expected, particularly for male teenagers.

> It's frankly irresponsible journalism to have a headline like this

I disagree - the title accurately reflects available evidence and official data from government sources.

> that's going to cause people to run scared

People shouldn't be scared by this data. The vast majority of young adults recover quickly from clinical and subclinical myocarditis [1], although the long-term effects aren't well established. It's important to note that viral infection can also cause myocarditis, so this phenomenon isn't just a knock against vaccination. The takeaway is that these findings are an important factor to consider when considering vaccination strategies for children and teenagers - we should proceed with an abundance of caution, but not fear.

Yeah, but if something goes at differrent time rate, it means it will have (typically very vastly) different space velocity. You can't have objects very near going at low space velocity and high time velocity, so this effect will not be noticeable.

Xkcd style explainer: When you have two things going at noticeably different time rates, you typically prepend "relativistic" [0] to all interactions. "Relativistic collision" sounds almost like "changes into huge amounts of plasma escaping from contact point".
