That is not true at all and you don't really understand the full spectrum of the placebo effect. It's not about having the subjective illusion of healing, it's about modulating biochemistry to affect healing. There are cases where, for instance, placebo branch participants in a study for antidepressants had measurable brainwave pattern changes after "treatment". What you're describing is an outdated / misunderstanding of placebo.
The idea is that once task groups are implemented, you can switch back to asyncio, which as more chance than Trio to be supported.

Before you could use ips, or alternative name system, or just private/personal DNS.

This will not work anymore as the https will require to have an official/qualified domain name.

Look at the case of the .dev domain names that were used by a lot of persons, and suddenly google bought the top domain and enforced https mandatory for it in chrome to ensure that no one else could use it anymore.

Also, imagine if the next step is to check that only "approved/legitimate" top domains, respecting some Google policies, are allowed for your own safety...
I know, but we could make coroutine creates with async have a special marker that is different to yield and auto schedule.
Conversely, see "voodoo death": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo_death

> Voodoo death, a term coined by Walter Cannon in 1942 also known as psychogenic death or psychosomatic death, is the phenomenon of sudden death as brought about by a strong emotional shock, such as fear. The anomaly is recognized as "psychosomatic" in that death is caused by an emotional response—often fear—to some suggested outside force. Voodoo death is particularly noted in native societies, and concentration- or prisoner of war camps, but the condition is not specific to any particular culture.[1]
You really have to look into the details here. Dr. Ted J. Kaptchuk is a an infamous alt medicine advocate[0] and his manipulations are well documented.

In this case the subjects were told "this is a placebo, it has no active ingredients but it can still help you" and that makes all the difference.

In a similar study, when patients are told "this is a placebo, it has no active ingredients and will do nothing at all when you take it" they have little to no relief.

Do you have any idea how many bad calls there are? I read about a study by a university that said something like 11% of ball/strike calls were missed.

Its absolutely amazing to me that this tracking data is just being displayed for everyone except the umpires. Apparently just to troll us with how bad they are.

I think pretending it's just the umpires is just sad and won't work out because everyone will know. We will notice that they are no longer making so many horrible calls.

Honestly if the MLB doesn't get robot umpires going for the strikezone within the next few years, I may start watching Wiffleball exclusively instead. Much more modern game. An average group of kids who know that plastic and PVC pipe exists are able to have a fun, safe and fair time.

It's like most people are trapped in the 19th century.
Unlike the C/C++ compiler landscape which for industry use cases has a few high profile high quality candidates, and all vendors of these solutions are pretty much guaranteed to employ top level experts to evolve their softwares, the picture with the JDKs is much less clear. Apparently everybody who has some sort of name brand now rolls their own version, and even throughout this thread here there really is no sharp level of distinguishment based on a clear point of comparison between even the most popular contenders.

Looks like muddy waters to me. A shame really, they totally ran the JDK release management into the ground.
No, you can get the installer directly from the NVidia website, but only for selected platforms. If you're on a different platform, you'll have to wait until somebody ported (read: hacked) the release (or do it yourself).
Dude come down, if you don’t like it move on, no body is forcing you to listen to them. Stop being so entitled, if you think you know more and are better than the people on Quest go on and build your successful business on your own.
Ironically I recently gave up using aerc, an email client that the author had a part it writing, because it kept crashing on my machine. I know its a WIP and there is a disclaimer warning of bugs but I thought it was a little funny. I do agree we should be doing better as a industry, but I'm not sure saying "hey everyone do better!" is going to have any effect.
Well to be fair I think Drew and I are cut from the same cloth. We write software tons of people use every day but almost none of it is for the web (at least that isn't the core interface generally).

The whole web2 and now web3 stuff mostly passed us by and now we are looking around trying to work out what went so awfully wrong with software development.

The reality is that guys like us still write highly reliable software, some of it even powers the backends of these awfully buggy frontends people rant about.

But you hit the nail on the head. We got outnumbered, overwhelmed and too tired to put up the good fight every day.

When your coworkers want to build the latest app on Node.js + AWS lambda + other hipster nonsense there isn't much you can do other than say "I told you so" when you are the one stuck migrating and cleaning it up 6-12 months later onto something actually reasonable.

You could say that we should do a better job at hiring but often times that is out of our hands, the company hires what is available and increasingly often that is green engineers that don't want to learn old school reliable stuff like Java/C#, they want to be using blog-post/talk-worthy tech stacks and they haven't yet gained the experience that teaches you why that is a poor idea.

So yeah, senior devs that care are out there but we are tired and we aren't able to fix the system from the inside sadly.
Great. Then baseball should die. Wiffleball ise more fun, more safe, and more accessible.
That may be so, but >90% of the work on this particular Eclipse project is done by IBM. Just as many companies contribute to OpenJDK but it is primarily an Oracle project, and Oracle does most of the work, Adoptium is an IBM project. That, in itself is not good or bad (although it is somewhat bad because, unlike other JDK distributors, IBM is barely involved with OpenJDK and the IBM team that makes the Adoptium builds is not particularly familiar with OpenJDK), but it is certainly not a "community led" distribution -- it is, de facto, an IBM-led one. It did not start out this way, but it has been this way for several years now (they did the same with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Harmony).
Who are all the people who were calling hardware 'emulagion' something different? The reason we (or at least I) didn't use "emulate" for hardware was because people weren't using FPGAs for emulation. We don't need new names for everything when done on an FPGA, when it is still (whatever you want to call it ...simulating?), as opposed to a pure gate-by-gate recreation, which Analogue isn't, which is obvious from its simulation errors, which are often similar to those that appear on traditional emulators like bsnes.

Yes, I agree FPGAs let you use much lower power requirements than a PC, but what I disagree with is, at the moment, the accuracy of the experience is better than a high spec PC running bsnes.

The authors of bsnes and analogue even agreed with this in the past, sharing I formation about how to increase accuracy in both directions.
It's not just "like" the Northern offshoot of Germanic, they are North Germanic languages, like English is a West Germanic language.

The similarity is even stronger if you compare with Low German (most common in the North), which didn't go through the consonant shift of the now dominant High German (e.g. day: Norwegian dag vs. Low German Dag vs. High German Tag)
Embryo Selection for Intelligence
Well, in this case it didn't have to be a video (just like a whole lot of them), and there are other platforms.

But you're also right, if people don't complain and try to improve something, the chance of any change is much lower.
We have dedicated QAs and QEs, but they are not there to write tests.

It's possible that's what he's driving at as I think the Joel test saw testers as an integrated part of the software delivery pipeline. Nowadays, in big tech, they are more there to drive high level tooling and testing culture - engineers are responsible for writing tests. At least that's my experience.

Alitalia used to be very expensive and much worse than Ryanair. Personnel was extremely rude and unprofessional, they were striking more often than not, they were as unreliable as EasyJet if not worse.

I stopped using them when they destroyed my bag, I called the callcenter to get a refund and the operator told me, with a very thick regional accent, that they weren’t going to reimburse me and that if I weren’t happy about it I had to sue them.
It’s not charging to 100% that wears batteries out. It’s storage at 100% that does that.

If you charge to 50% and keep it there, it basically last years.

If you use your notebook primarily on AC, battery is charged and kept on “storage” until you unplug from AC. Over the years, this is equivalent to a battery stored on a box.

So, time stored on a box with 50% is better than 80%, which is also better than 100%.

But. If your notebook is used primarily unplugged from AC, that 100% is better than 80%, because you’ll have fewer deeper discharges.

Deep discharges is what form dentrites. Dentrities is what kill lithium batteries.
The irony of this been by a proponent of Wayland, which instead of fixing whatever issues were with X11 decided to nuke everything and rewrite it from scratch - such rewrites are some of by far the most common sources of bugs. And also one of many developers' favorite things to do since they replace something with known issues with something with unknown issues but of course they believe those issues wont exist or wont be as important (which of course can only be judged after the issues become known but hey, old stuff suck and new stuff are amazing).

> Prefer to use proven technologies.

LOL.

What he writes is not wrong, but i just can't get over that he is the one writing all that stuff when he is among the people who contribute to bit rot and buggy unstable software that comes from having to rewrite shit over and over just to do the same thing and keep up with the "~assholes~ developers" (as he calls them) who break existing systems (and i'm sure there will be some excuse about why in Wayland's case it wont matter and isn't the same thing).
One reason to keep on pushing bad content despite knowing the user will not watch them is to hide the fact how small their catalogue is and shift the blame onto user's particular taste.
If you go to the artists page you can open a menu right next to to „follow“ button and select an option to not play any song from this artist.

I remember this being easier to find. I guess Spotify might have changed it.
The examples you gave are in sectors where technological change is slow. A grocery store of 2021 isn't that different from a grocery store of 2001.

Co-ops will find it much harder to compete in sectors where a new model is expected every few months, such as smartphones.
Your first point isn’t true because most of the 5 star usage boils down to 1/5 stars and not 2-4. There are some users that use whole range and the info does have value. The main problem though is while that system may be better for certain users, it will be worse for the entire user base as you want a system that works well for both casual and power users. Really you want a system that works better for casual users as most users on typical system like YouTube/spotify/tiktok/etc would be casual users. And while having model distinguish between user types is possible, ui wise you aren’t going to want to have both thumps up/down as an option and 5 stars. A toggle is possible but even for users that would use full ratings, a toggle is fairly unlikely to be used.

Even for power users it may not be net benefit for them. Recommendations are not based solely on that user’s ratings but all ratings. If power users give better signal but total quantity of signals decreases then it’s likely that recommendation quality drops for both casual/power users. Making up guess numbers a 5 star system is likely to get you 3x less data points and many of those data points are of similar quality anyway (users that only rate 1/5 stars). Worse signal that has higher volume often leads to better model.
> if consumers wanted reliable stuff, they'd buy it.

Trouble is, often I can’t when I want to because no one’s making it—that the industry (whatever industry, you find this in many of them) has accepted mediocrity.

For software specifically, my observation is that attempts to retrofit reliability, performance and the likes almost always fail: these are properties that you have to deliberately bake in with from the start, and maintain lest you find them difficult to claw back.

That is a consequence of corporations taking over "open" source projects. They hire too many people, many of them clueless. Because of "equity" no criticism is allowed and all "contributions" are merged.

WiFi is a spec, with different implementations, they don't emulate each other.

I can find various references to "emulating" soundblaster cards with an FPGA, which feels more applicable.

> One day devs will unite in a mystical place outside the realm of "pressure to deliver", we will agree on what are the main priorities and opportunities for improvement, and we will coordinate to start changing things and make our asylum a saner place.

I believe this is exactly what free software is - and in a distant future it will replace all proprietary solutions due to its higher quality.

I don't understand why he didn't have his legs amputated if they caused him so much anguish.
> Parts of learning to play better are hard work that require conscious effort, but the majority of time I spend on it is practice

If you practice without conscious effort then you aren't practicing, you are just playing and almost surely isn't improving. There is a reason hobbyist stop improving early and then never improve even after years or even decades of practice, it is because they spend their quality focus and effort on their job rather than their hobby and therefore can't improve like professionals who gets paid to focus on it.
Did you know stretching before a car trip prevents all but the worst car sickness? Both my chiropractor and my acupuncturist recommended it and I haven't suffered from car sickness since.

There, I saved you the cost of the water pills. You don't need costly, potentially dangerous additive laced medicine if you're just looking for the placebo effect.
No, you have to sign up with a company Spotify has a deal with. Spotify seems to no longer have a deal with the sort of "artist services" companies that don't check if the uploaded music is a Beyonce album.

Spotify, or rather the old Echo Nest folks I suspect, actually do a lot to combat spam compared to the other streaming services.

I tried out the French service Deezer for a while, they had a huge compilation spam problem. I found one spammer in particular, who around four times per months would upload 300+ albums, all with the same title and cover art, only the artist name would be different. Thus you would get the album "Angry Man" by Frank Sinatra, "Angry Man" by Charles Aznavour, "Angry Man" by Johnny Rivers, etc. for another 300 artists. Thing is, they would contain music from the actual artist. The spammer probably speculated that if you wanted to add, say, Doc Watson's "Sitting on top of the world" to a playlist, searching would lead you to one of his "compilations" instead of the original. Or maybe it's part of a scam with hacked accounts "listening" to these teams. Either way, it must have been profitable, because with some searching I found out he'd been at it for almost a decade. He uses one of the "artists services" companies that lets him pick a new label name every time, but his laziness in generating images reveals it's the same guy (and I'm pretty sure I know his name, too).

He's not on Spotify, they kicked him off ages ago. But he's on literally every other streaming service that I know.
The market is also full of less-than-ethical companies exploiting exactly the type of people OP described.
There is a dark side to placebo research and especially the work of Ted Kaptchuk and it is this: patients often report feeling better after a placebo treatment, and they subjectively do, but their condition has not actually improved and they still need proper treatment.

The recent albuterol vs. placebo trial reported in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) found that experimental subjects with asthma experienced substantial, measured improvements in lung function after inhaling albuterol, but not after inhaling placebo, undergoing sham acupuncture, or “no treatment.” It also found that the same subjects reported having felt substantially improved after either albuterol or each of the two sham treatments, but not after “no treatment.” Anthropologist Daniel Moerman, in an accompanying editorial, wrote, “the authors conclude that the patient reports were ‘unreliable,’ since they reported improvement when there was none”—precisely as any rational clinician or biomedical scientist would have concluded.

That's another study he was involved with. Full details here: https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/dummy-medicine-dummy-doctor...

> Chapter 6: Reversing a Pregnancy Test; or, Bitch better have my money!

> Each strip has an absorbent area (that you pee on) and a clear window where the test results show up. One stripe is a control stripe that ‘fires’ (changes color) in any liquid from water to bourbon, and the other one is a test stripe that only fires when suffi- cient concentrations of the hormone hCG are present in the fluid sample. (hCG stands for Human Chori- onic Gonadotropin, named because scientists snicker at words like “gonad.”) You can use the strips with- out the digital tester, because all you’re being sold is a device that will load in one of the basic strips, and monitor the control and test stripes, and return three results: ERROR, NOT or PREGNANT. It turns out that $50 and getting at least one pregnant woman to pee on a test strip can end up for an en- tertaining couple of evenings at the old workbench.
No it isn't really, it is just a workaround for missing functionality and a site that is designed towards a different target audience.
While there's probably (I'm not a linguist) direct Norse influence too, English is a West Germanic language, and so the further back you go the less Norman and French influence has diluted the Germanic foundation of the language shared with e.g. the Scandinavian languages, Dutch and German (the relationship with German is more obvious if you include the now relatively uncommon older Low German dialects that used to dominate Northern Germany - you get a continuous map with much more gradual changes).

First of all there is nothing new or unique about the above. Cypherpunks we’re discussing digital gold for a decade and a half prior to Bitcoin.

Second, during this time and until years after the release of Bitcoin, he has been on record for exploring, pushing, and supporting the cost-value theory of money. This is the erroneous idea that a unit of digital gold should represent directly somehow the cost of production. E.g. a Bitcoin that is twice as hard to mine should be worth twice as much. Nick’s whole theory of digital money (the bitgold in the article) is built upon this. In the years after bitcoin’s release he was fiercely critical of it for this reason. However we now know that rejecting this idea was Satoshi’s key innovation and the reason it works at all.

My father's solution was to set aside every Saturday to play a full 18-hole round of golf. I grew up in a family of three children and he kept this up since the beginning (and still does). It did him wonders as a way to de-stress from his work, get physical exercise, and maintain a healthy social life outside of work, while still leaving time on the weekend to spend with family.

I don't have kids myself, but if I did I'd imagine I'd try to find something similar.
Deezer have that option. When you're listening to something you don't like you can click on a little frowny face, then they will ask you if you want to never hear this song again or the artist.
