Like many things, it's largely practice. Adler's How to Read a Book is an accessible and well-regarded work on the topic, and its "three readings" framework, if not to be taken as an exhaustive gospel on the ways of reading—some people "can read" while failing to consistently achieve Adler's first reading, so there's plainly more that could be explored, and the book's not intended as an academic treatise on all the components of reading—is, at least, a solid practical guide.

I think the best explanation of how this all works is to liken it to listening to music: everyone can listen to music. Not everyone understands or appreciates a wide variety of music, or gets as much out of it as some do. One encounters "jazz is just noise" or "hip-hop is just noise", et c., opinions with some frequency—much as one encounters "the 'classics' are overrated, boring crap", when it comes to fiction, for example. A major part of learning to read well is internalizing the process of experiencing new genres or ways of expression, which one may not enjoy at first, just as many experience some discomfort and very little pleasure the first time they deliberately try to broaden their musical-appreciation horizons. This may mean reading texts about the texts to better understand them, or watching lectures, but it also means a whole lot of sheer exposure to the works themselves, just as it does with music.

If there's a single piece of advice I could give, it'd be to ask more questions, more often. Interrogate the text. What's wrong with this assertion, if anything? Does the text go on to address any problems I can see? If it does, is that satisfying? Do others see this problem? If not, what did I miss? Is this confidently-stated premise or postulate reasonable? If not, can the argument stand without it? Why is this character in this story? What's the structural reason this scene exists? If it seems pointless, but this work is very well-regarded, I'm probably missing something—what might that be? Does it have thematic or textural import that I'm failing to spot, and so, perhaps, missing much of the message of the work? Et c.

However, a lot of reading failures I see among Web posters are so basic that all the above is almost too advanced, and I don't know exactly how to address those problems. Simple reading comprehension failures that, incredibly, persist even when pointed out; misunderstanding how human language works, often taking the form of excessively literal readings that become weirdly and unhelpfully adversarial while failing to engage what the text was actually expressing; that kind of thing. This is part of what's behind the extreme over-explaining and frequent shouldn't-be-necessary disclaimers in writing by seasoned Web forum posters—I have a suspicion that readers who are that bad are not, in fact, extremely common, but are just, for whatever reason, unusually likely to engage in Web discussions, leading to the standard, gratingly-poor writing style of Web forums, aimed at pre-empting bad readers from posting useless flames or diversions from the topic, which efforts are still, often, insufficient.
Software devs, on average, have many more choices for where to work than prison guards do.
The US is going this way, with the normalization of contract work for very technical roles. I think it bled over from software-adjacent roles like graphic design and IT support. Regardless, you're going to see more 6 month 'try before you buy' contracts for PhDs with 10 years of engineering experience, than full time roles today. It makes sense for less mission critical roles I suppose, but I don't understand why organizations are willing to put so much at stake by offering a shit sandwich for mission critical roles. And they wonder why there is a hiring issue today.

The parallels with the tobacco industry continue to amaze me. People viewed that industry very negatively but continued to smoke even after all revelations about their lobbying and its health consequences came to light. It has taken decades for the number of smokers to decline substantially. I imagine that FB will similarly die a very slow death over the next 10-20 years, and even then it won't die completely (but it will be replaced by other toxic social media corporations).
If modern day tech had been available to the stasi they absolutely would have used it. They were already beginning to collect hair samples from people in the late 1980s in anticipation of widespread DNA testing being available 5, 10, 15 years down the road.
“The U.S. Census Bureau lists the annual real median personal income at $35,977 in 2019”

Calling it $30k is wrong, but not very wrong.

Also note: “The U.S. Census Bureau also reports the median income for each family. In 2019, it was $86,011.”

(Note I didn’t double check numbers above, they were just the first I found from Google results).

What would it take to get `which` on a fast track to POSIX-dom?

It's still a living standard right? `which` seems like one of the first command any *NIX user learns. It should be standardized.
Wow. I'm really glad you stated that publicly because I do the same and always felt a little weird/extreme for how I handle chicken. I nearly always do the chicken handling last and then sanitize everything with disinfectant afterwards including large areas of the countertop. The frequency of outbreaks related to chicken has made me very careful when dealing with chicken.
> There's a huge number of companies out there that are not as evil as those big ones.

Facebook didn't start off targeting 6yos. Once you go public, you're on a treadmill to keep delivering profits for Wall Street. So who's to say that the new startup you join will continue to be this angel who does no evil?
This company made over $85 billion revenue in 2020 based on the idea that they can precisely target ads to specific groups. The claim that they can't outsmart 6 - 13 year olds (elementary school children) is not believable.

> so do the parents that are buying it if it allows them to sleep in or pay attention that much longer to their social feeds.

Man, what an uncharitable take. I bet they also like that the kid is learning how to prepare food for themselves independently. Or that they have time to do something like make themselves breakfast before dropping off at school and going to work. Further, I bet a lot of these parents also aren't as nutritionally educated as the people in this thread seem to be (for a lot of consumers "healthy" and "fat free" are interchangeable).

Order of magnitude means 10x. This is 27 vs 16, not even a binary order of magnitude :)

I agree that gerrymandering is a major issue. I wholeheartedly disagree that it can be solved if framed through partisan lenses.

Our brains crave to know who is on our side and equate that with the good guys. As long as we don't make an explicit effort to snap out of this very seductive mode of thinking, the future is tribal. Memorably, "why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

This is true of every company headquartered in a country with an oppressive government. You can buy Emirates air line t-shirts all over the place, but the country is a monarchy with a poor human rights track record. For better or worse we've decided that we're ok with treating foreign companies basically equally to our own up until now.

Is SVG2 actually coming or is it in Limbo?
I don't mean this to be snarky, but this sounds like someone who has no family, no kids, never been in a serious relationship. Once you're committed to one or more other people, you're pretty much putting their interests ahead of yours most of the day. If my friends who are parents are to be trusted, their kids are their priority in every substantial decision they make.

Also, it's surprisingly cynical to say that people don't put their interests above society -- most of the people I know have taken on work and hobbies that don't maximize their personal gain, because they'd rather improve society somewhat.
On Mac, with an alias I don't get the same answer from the two anyway:

yea that's my point, who can know unless you have like a spy in the place doing the hacking. Yes of course China and Russia are probably doing these things, i just don't accept this type of evidence, just like i didn't accept the "WMD" bs
Do we know if the cost to the economy of adapting to greener standards would cost more than supporting the adaptation of the poor to the new warmer world? I have often wondered if it just makes more sense to incentivize people to not live right on the places most likely to flood and hurricane? (and earthquake for that matter).

just to stave off likely claims I am not saying we should prioritize the economy over people, but I am saying we should consider if we can positively address the catastrophe both more effectively (remove risk) and less drastically by directly addressing where people live.
Hey that sounds pretty fun, love the shared meal idea.

JD: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/2766792747/?refId=lKc0MRx...

SBX Robotics is at the intersection of technical art and machine learning. We're teaching robots to see using synthetic data and a mix of deep learning techniques. Data is a bottle neck for many computer vision problems, we're working to speed up this process by generating and tuning synthetic data.

We’re looking for an experienced Unreal Engine Generalist, Technical Artist, or Technical Director to level up our procedural asset generation skillset, and to bring expertise from game development and VFX into our world of computer vision, AI, and robotics. This role offers an opportunity to be a jack-of-all-trades, to teach as well as execute, to quickly grow into a leadership position. You will work directly with the founders who bring Silicon Valley experience from companies like Uber ATG, Kindred AI, Yelp and Wish.

To apply please use linked in (see link above) or email me directly josh at sbxrobotics.com
From article:

"Sleep is also necessary for the body to heal and repair heart and blood vessels. Lack of sleep has been linked to an increased risk heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and stroke, experts say."

I don't think that's a particularly controversial statement, but is it germane to a discussion of a twice yearly switch in sleep schedules? The general consensus for travelers is that it takes 1-2 days per hour of time difference to get past jet lag. There's a decent argument to be made based on accident avoidance, but the rest of the "health impacts" seem harder to justify.
We'll have to go back to the days of Echelon in the 90s where everyone stuffed their Usenet posts and emails with keywords intending to render any surveillance useless due to overwhelming number of matches.

In the US neither side is required (in general, some exceptions appy) to give notice, or a reason, to terminate employment. For more senior jobs the custom is to give notice when you quit. Employers generally have a process of reviews and warnings that let employees know when they aren't performing, so getting fired without notice happens because of gross misbehavior or negligence.

Even if the employer has a habit of letting people go without notice or severance, it's still professional to give the employer notice. I think a person should behave ethically and professionally regardless of what the other side does. Of course sometimes the situation is so bad that walking out with no notice is the only choice, but in my experience those kinds of workplaces are rare and I had plenty of time to notice the dysfunction and plan a graceful exit.
>if you kept it at 150 deg for 2.8 minutes but with standard cooking that is not easy to measure or maintain

It's actually surprisingly hard not to do that. Unless you're cooking at unusually low pan/oven temperatures, the internal temperature of a chicken breast taken off at 150° will probably hit 155° or higher over the next couple minutes.
I wonder how much of the Bitcoin ban was electric production related and how much was economic control related.

As China continues to modernize and become more energy-intensive, that power has to come from somewhere. If he bans coal too early or restricts it too much, progress that the people saw happening and intensely want could slow dramatically.

People will follow a strong dictator as long as they don’t see a much better path. If they see a much better path, support will wane quickly and possibly in an ugly fashion.
Does the majority of the public know that Instagram == Facebook, though? Genuinely curious - non-tech folks do seem to love talking about how awful Facebook is and how they don't use it anymore, but then comes the scrolling through Instagram for 6 hours..
I guess not if they're based in Estonia?
I agree, but I think in 5 years we will be using coroutines regularly. Just need to let the standard library catch up.
It’s also really easy for someone to steal your documents. It’s not unheard of for an abusive partner to steal documents in order to trap their victim.

I know your pattern now, you’ll call this another edge case sob story and set it aside because it isn’t convenient for your argument.

As for your paper document argument… what is your proposed alternative? You must have one, else you wouldn’t have floated it.

Someone sold something that this person did not have. Sold nothing. Then what the buyer has? Nothing! There was an error in registering the transactions, it was a false transaction.

How my will has anything to do about this or affecting if selling nothing becomes something or not?

Where exactly a legal education needed for being able to recognise that the real owner did not sell or give away his property? If I am not a solicitor I cannot possibly comprehend what is a theft, fraud, or recognise bodily harm or crimes in general that are condemned by the society? I do not buy into that. The recognition of these kind of crimes are older than institutions dealing with those. If the stealing of the property is not prosecuted then the system is wrong, needs a fix.
There's no distinct "modern JavaScript", it's still the same language. It just has bunch of things added to make it more manageable, but it still contains all the footguns and gotchas as it did before.

Its tooling got significantly better in the last decade or so, but you still need to intentionally rely on it in order to work with the language in any sensible way. You can't really hope for any other outcome when maintaining backwards compatibility.
Thanks for the feedback. I get the same error. It’s a LiveView page and seems some bitrot has set in. Will fix.

Edit: fixed.
He's openly admitted to that, since for the most part Apple will not sell him the official OEM components.
I use my pellet smoker @200F for an hour, then crank to 350F to "finish" them up to an internal 155F.
Canonical offers free Ubuntu Advantage for 3 machines which gives you extended service maintenance for even older distros like 14.04 (which is what I am using to type this). Ubuntu is a great distro because it supports each LTS for a full 10 years. Constantly upgrading and breaking things and having to switch software and workflows is way more insecure imo.

Additionally, there are tons of devices out there that will never get updated that run even older unsupported linux distros and do their job just fine. And modern written bash will run just fine there too.

It's PostreSQL all the way down.
That's... wow. A full install of Windows 95 with Office 95 is smaller than that.
Sure, but I also proposed an equivalent way to get "custom operators without overloading" (lexical scope-namespacing in @ functions with a special parser rule for certain infix binary forms that do not conflict with builtin operators) and this, too, was rejected.
Swisscom installed a Huawei box on a leased line between two Cisco sites. I found that.... surprising.
yeah, totally. chicken is nuclear material / lava in my kitchen. i do all the same and i empty the sink before handling the meat in it. i also hand wash all chicken contaminated dishes in the sink.
I don't trust developers who can't come up with a more creative, less confusing name.

Like, you can at least name it after another variant of Mango to make the name more interesting, or call it something similar but with a little more variation (like MangroveDB)
I immediately parsed 'rectang's post as not implicating the failure-prone system that allows this and necessitates having the victims of such fraud be vigilant in such a manner.

And they are correct.
Fun book. I’ve said this before on here but it purports to lionize the Sega of America folks but can’t help but present them as non-technical marketers without much depth to them. Meanwhile the Nintendo crew, ostensibly the bad guys in the story’s narrative, seem passionate, principled and serious about shipping great games people love.
Animal agriculture is pure evil
The ocean is made up of drops of water.

Individual action has lots of impact at scale.
I worked on the Cocoa frameworks back when the hope was arbitrary scaling. The short answer to your question is "rounding." At 1.5x, a box of length 3 occupies 4.5 physical pixels. Either one side of the box will be blurry, or the box must get resized to align with physical pixels, which can cause mis-centering of text or icons, or unexpected clipping or truncation.

There was also a lot of custom layout code in existing apps, both first and third party, which just didn't work at arbitrary scale factors because it was never tested.

Yet another complication is that apps are expected to handle scale changes, e.g. if the user drags a window from one display to another. Android doesn't have to deal with this.

After years of trying to make it work, Apple basically gave up and did the scaling in WindowServer.
