Embracing your neuronal nature helps. Your neurons direct your attention to things they think will get them rewarded. Latching onto something negative can give a dopamine kick (for a lot of reasons) but it's almost always because your neurons don't have anything better to get a kick from. Good, important things are missing more generally (a lot of things it could be). If you're engrossed in some satisfying activity/ work/ thought, or you're just kicking ass in life and you know it, your neurons will have a much more bountiful source of dopamine to latch onto so they aren't going to direct your attention to petty shit.
The other day I read a Robert Cringely[0] article that put things into a new perspective for me. At one point he describes three different subspecies of "techie types" as he puts it, the hippies, the nerds, and the lumpenprogrammer. The main dichotomy is between the architecture-minded hippies and the code-focused nerds. Apart, he theorizes, they are useless. Together though, they can compliment each other's work perfectly. As he puts it, "hippies tend to do the right thing poorly; nerds tend to do the wrong things well".

It was really interesting to put my own life through this perspective, because it made me realize I'm decidedly a hippy when it comes to all this. If you ask a nerd to dockerize their homelab, they'll probably write a Medium article titled "5 Things You're Going to Love About Docker!". If you forced me to dockerize my homelab, I'd probably write a long-winded blog post on a website that no longer exists because I unplugged the computer hosting it. Joking aside though, I think that negativity vs positivity is what drives constructive criticism in this field. Again, together these people can accomplish great things: the only way for them to be unsuccessful is by working alone or trying to play both sides when they can't.

Speaking of, the final 'subspecies' he describes is the lumpenprogrammer, a person so smart and technologically transcendent that no normal person could match them. These are your John Carmack's and Dennis Richie's of the world, people who understand both the fundamentals and implementation of technology so well that they can bridge the divide between the hippies and the nerds. Their opinions are more moderate, more tempered, and try to see things from an optimistic and pessimistic perspective.

Now, I'll never be such a programmer. I've made peace with the fact that I'm a hippie, but I still aspire to have a more tempered, glass-half-full viewpoint. In any case though, you should meet the harshest of criticism with the greatest of optimism, because that's the balance that keeps things going.

Leaving aside for-profit publishers, I dont' get what the point of ACM and IEEE is. Those are non-profit bodies and dominate the majority of publishing in CS/EE. Aside from a handful of big venues like NIPS, VLDB, Usenix, almost everything is tied to ACM/IEEE. Why do we need them and what value do they add ? Also, what is a non-profit ? You can keep pumping all the money you make into salaries and other assets that you own. Is that all it takes to be a non-profit?

Realtors exist in Greece, I’m not sure where you got your information that they do not.
Couple of things in contention. First, if work from home remains in place the need to be proximate to the office goes down. This will impact both commercial and residential prices “downtown”. Foreign money will continue to jack up Canadian prices, but Canadians might be less interested in doing so.

Second, if a government makes an active effort to increase housing and decrease house prices they better be a majority. Otherwise they’ll lose to the party that “will defend people’s investments” and quickly stop subsidized construction.

Finally, I have no feeling how mobile people are here. But it doesn’t seem to be high. Folks from Quebec tend to remain there. Folks from the prairies seem unwilling to move east. There’s not a lot of big cities and if the people won’t move demand will remain inelastic.

I'm not perfect about this but one experience in particular helped me.

I was a new employee doing on-the-job training for an even newer employee, while we were trying to meet a deadline. We were the only two people working on this project, in the middle of rural NM, out of cell range, and having to improvise. He kept making suggestions and I kept explaining why they wouldn't work. Suddenly he point-blank asked me why I said no to everything. I had a moment of clarity where I realized that I didn't even want him to be right, for no good reason except my ego. I apologized, horrified, and have been forever grateful for the wake-up.

After that I started to notice that pattern elsewhere. The best way I've found to interrupt it is to ask myself "what if they're right" and/or "in what way might this person be right that I may not have considered"?

> Because cross-OS (not just cross-linux-distro but even that) standards-making doesn't exist anymore in a real non-broken way, and we're stuck with whatever standards of 20+ years ago.

As someone who's struggled to grasp some of the finer points of programming, OS, etc. can you expand on this a bit? Why is it that standards have gone the way they have?
I think you're missing the point. Researchers literally could upload their work to github if they wanted to right now. They choose to publish in journals because the reputation means their work will get seen and will have credibility with other researchers. It's a bit like Big-4 auditing in a sense. They don't do anything particularly special, but their size and reputation give credibility to their audits that wouldn't otherwise be possible. And like journals, they have had some spectacular failures that are dwelt upon, but in general they make vetting much easier.
I had 2 tricks - really high-order filter borrowed from some paper and the assumption that a walking human doesn't gain constant acceleration. Even in an elevator you stop on a floor which resets your speed to 0.

I agree that there is no way you could extend this directly for flying, but with modern devices and things like ground-distance radar, relative airspeed indicators and so on I don't think it is beyond the realm of possibility. Plus we have detailed hightmap of the world, which, when combined with a radar should allow for terrain tracking. That makes the accuracy of sole INS much less crucial.

The (not yet merged) PR https://github.com/glfw/glfw/pull/1986 casts to signed long, which only avoids UB (is 64 bits) on 64-bit platforms which aren't Windows.

> Wouldn't it be better to cast to unsigned int or something similar (like uint32_t), since long can still be 32 bits? If the size of long and int is the same, wouldn't the cast as proposed in the PR be semantically identical to the current state?
Yes, but it’s also understandable why they wouldn’t want to expand.
Interest rates are correlated with inflation because the Fed historically raises interest rates when inflation rate is high.

This is an obviously true observation and easily borne out by looking at history.

Long term rates are distorted by QE right now. The market will price long term rates higher, when inflation is higher, sure.

Short term rates typically set a floor on long term rates, outside of rare yield curve inversions.

So not sure how your data relates. Short term rates set a floor on longer term rates, thus raising short term rates increases real rates on both fronts.

Also grouping 25-44 is not very helpful. Like 25 years old is fresh from the university and 44 is a middle aged group.
So?

Suppose you have two clocks that are synchronized to +-dt1, and sending messages takes some known amount of time +-dt2 and you want to make sure the sender is able to transmit within +dt3 of whatever event triggered the send event.

It seems to me that you'd be able to transmit at least dt3/(2*(dt1+dt2)) distinct values with the pretty naive approach of discretizing time into segments longer than the uncertainty between the message-and-clock error. I'd be willing to bet that a sophisticated approach could do much better.

Do you really think there is a "striketober"? BLS data wont come out until Nov 31, but I'd gladly bet that there were fewer than 15K workers on strike in October 2021, out of a labor force of 165 Million, defined by BLS tracking.

The oldest public minecraft-server will hit its 11th birthday next month. Not sure how much more persistence you can demand? Some of the other games also have persistence in various ways available. But that's the point, persistence is not a hard demand of MMO, it's just a strong trait for RPG. For MMOs in other genres it makes not much sense to let the player wait in some virtual graphical lobby, when a textual lobby is good enough. For an MMO, a game must support a huge number of players in the game itself, not in the pauses between the games. The definition today has become more flexible than 20 years ago.

> but do you really see Facebook creating video games for it's blue site and instagram audience?

I think their point is more that they will offer the graphical virtual space for the players to wait and meet between the games and work, while others will create the games and apps which people than can enter from this space. My understanding is, they offer technology and the connecting point, not the content. The same way they already do it today with plain old 2D crud-interfaces.
Sorry about that, we're unable to discuss our projects with adjacent teams within the company. What you're saying is a valid frustration, the motivation behind the original comment was to put a thermometer on the repo.
Countermeasures to this sort of attack are already bog-standard in high reliability systems. You just verify that the compiler output corresponds to the source code [1]. It is a pain, but necessary for cases with high reliability and safety requirements since relying on your compiler as a sole source of truth is silly due to the possibility of code generation bugs. Incidentally, this also defeats "trusting trust" style attacks.

Bots aren't just trying credential stuffing. They are:

- committing clickfraud to game ad and referral revenue systems

- posting fake or spam reviews and comments

- generating fake behavioral signals to help bypass CAPTCHAs to help create accounts on other sites that can post spam comments

- validating stolen credit card details

- screwing with your metrics collection if you can't identify them as bots

All of that is enough reason for sites to use bot detection and blocking technology. The fact that the same tech also has some utility against accidental or malicious traffic-based DoS is also a bonus.
I assumed it would not apply to multi-unit properties but only to single-family houses.
Yet, every widely adopted standard leads to such an expansion of the whole market that overwhelmingly more resources become available to innovate. Thus, FORTRAN became FORTRAN II, III, IV, Fortran77, 90, driving demand for supercomputers CDC 6400, Cray, and on up. UNIX became Posix, now Linux. Bell Labs C became C++, then C++98, C++11, now C++20 and Rust. Silicon Graphics SGL became OpenGL that spawned numerous successors, and now Vulkan, which has already spawned Vulkan 1.1.

So, the "innovation" argument is always trotted out, against copious evidence. But MBAs always fall for it, and we get things like DirectX, CUDA, and Metal that invariably end up acting to stall innovation, instead.
One thing hotels are doing is essentially getting rid of cleaning during a stay for "COVID safety reasons." Now, I don't doubt that there is an element of that--and some chains have off and on been willing to trade cleaning for a few loyalty program points pre-COVID.

In general, I'd observe that hotel pricing, while certainly not dirt-cheap, is at relatively "rational" levels in places where you were easily getting in the $300-400/night range pre-pandemic. (And that was for generally midrange business hotels.)
You can buy databases of who owns which IP blocks.

If you really care but don't want to spend the money, just block the subnet each time you see a Googlebot request. "whois w.x.y.z" returns an entire CIDR, and it seems unlikely to me that Google is scraping from a bunch of disconnected /24s.

> Advent of Code size problems is the best case scenario for Python. The difference in implementation time goes down as program size increases because you spend a larger fraction of the time figuring out what you're implementing.

The difference in code size between a good and a bad language goes up as program size increases, because a large codebase makes it harder to keep it all in your head and forces you to add more layers and duplication.

Abuse is the kind of problem area where anyone seriously working on either side will be unlikely to go into the details. It's the same whether it's blocking scraping, stopping spam, preventing account takeovers, or detecting payment fraud.

In this specific case, the people wanting to detect bots want to avoid having their signals burned, the scrapers don't want the defenders to know which signals they're able to cloak since it will spur new signals development. So what gets disclosed publicly is just the really simple stuff.

It's kind of sad. There's a huge pipeline for getting people up to speed on security engineering, since there's a lot of incentive for everyone in the ecosystem to share information as publicly as possible except for relatively short responsible disclosure windows.

In contrast, the only way to learn abuse engineering is to happen to work in an organization with an abuse problem (and live with the frustration of an abnormally long ramp up period), or to go black hat. And likewise it's quite hard for the good guys to actually learn from each other, since they're spread across so many companies and it's thus hard for them to exchange information on what works and what doesn't.

As the other commenter mentioned M2 supply is up, but a lot of that is actually due to a change in how it is calculated. But m2 supply is up. That being said, low interest rates probably has a lot more to do with prices going up.
Unicode Character 'Khmer Vowel Inherent AQ' (U+17B4)
Edith Finch is one of my favorite games of all time, as well.

I debated not including it on the above list, because one of the things it does absolutely fantastically well is, lets call it, ludonarrative resonance. The opposite of ludonarrative dissonance; it synergizes gameplay and story to such an incredibly powerful degree, that its story is made better by the gameplay, and its gameplay (what it has) is made better by the story.

That being said, its gameplay is more in the Firewatch/Telltale category than, say, Mass Effect.

Another game which feels squarely in the ludonarrative resonant category is Celeste. If you've played Celeste, you know: its a hell of a frustrating experience. Your experience clearing those platforming challenges precisely mirrors Madeline's experience scaling the mountain. You'll have moments where you'll tell yourself "this game is too hard for me", "I can't do this", just like how Badeline tries to convince Madeline that she isn't good enough to climb the mountain. In the end, you never stop feeling frustrated; you learn to live with the frustration, as it pushes you to be a better player; just as Madeline learns to live with her ugly side, and it makes them both better for it by giving you a double dash for the last level.

Celeste could never be a movie; its narrative is too simple to work outside a form of interactive media, where the interactivity empowers the narrative by creating in you the same emotions being narrated through the main character.

Yes, they didn't market it that way, but CPUID returned '5', where a 486 returned '4', a 386 '3', etc. You'll find the 586 references in lots of Intel documentation.
There's a lot of good advice in this thread already, but one thing I've been working on lately is watching what I consume. When I consume lots of negative content (full of outrage, anger, etc.) I become more negative. Sustained outrage drags me down, but is also addictive. Pulling myself away from anger helps me refocus on what I actually feel positive about.
It's not psychological. It's time. If you're taking the bus to work and/or working more than one job, you on average can't spare the time (and energy) for training and events. Furthermore, there's the cost of the gear, event entry fees, etc.

The fact that rich (white) people spin the issue as "psychology" is simply another example of their disconnect.

Sad. But true.
I’m not even sure where to start with this because it’s such a vulgar misreading of Hegel… Hegel generally rejected the “thesis, antithesis, synthesis” triad (which mostly comes from Fichte.) Dialectics, and his overall system of immanent critique, have considerably more subtlety and complexity than the determinism and teleology that you suggest. An even cursory reading of any of Hegel’s major works reveals how entirely misplaced most of your post is. I agree that a lot of Hegel’s political philosophy is marked by naivete, but this doesn’t mean his system can be rejected wholesale. That we should avoid this wholesale rejection in the face of apparent contradictions is actually one of Hegel’s basic points!
This is Jeff Vogel's blog.
Sometimes negativity is the right response.

Chronic negativity comes from somewhere, it has a cause; and then it becomes a habit. It's also a form of self defense, because it makes you less vulnerable.

Consider cutting down on mainstream media and entertainment, everything you consume goes somewhere.

Meditation works, but takes serious effort to get anywhere, because you will have to confront whatever is eating you from the inside.

Turn off all gadgets and sit or lie completely still with your eyes closed while observing the background track in your head for a while. Don't judge or identify, just observe.

Take or leave, and good luck!

You've been lied to. It's an endemic disease which 100% of the population will eventually get. It's just that with vaccines a lot fewer older people will die, and a lot fewer middle aged people will experience health issues for an extended period of time. Before vaccines came to market, I could understand what they're doing, but now it doesn't make any sense: they're just postponing the inevitable - the only way out is through. They should vaccinate as many people as they can and remove all restrictions.
I.e. what Facebook does if you don't log in for long enough. Two days ago I got a pair of messages to the same address with links to completely bypass login and verbiage about how they'd seen I was having trouble logging in followed an sms message with the same to a phone number they're not supposed to be using.
