The piece looks like it was a high school assignment, so I'll be mild. It is an incoherently written propaganda piece that uses weird imagery, ageism (over 50), stereotypes (Trump voters) and anecdotes to vilify the unvaccinated.

In reality working doctors, nurses, flight attendants, teachers etc. are unvaccinated and even quit their jobs over the issue. In reality, a large numbers of real anti-vaxxers are woke young treehuggers who believe in healing crystals rather than old deplorable Trump voters.

Calling yourself an intellectual in the URL does not make you one.

The thing that annoys me about bluetooth headphones is the really loud "Battery Low" notifications, especially on headsets that think that it is a good idea to spam the notification every 5 minutes and mute the audio while giving the notification.

Other than that, I like the mobility that you get with bluetooth headsets.

This could be great, if the interfaces were to adhere to some standard. Like, if there was a single web server on a chip thingie which would expose http endpoints, and even that could be replaced with something else, because the signals that it sends on the wires are also documented.

But of course, this lessens the control of the manufacturers, and increases the control of the users. So it won't happen until it's up to the manufacturers.

"State of consciousness" is a technical term that describes a mode of your experience. Sleep is a state of consciousness. That trance-like hyperfocussed flow experience is a state of consciousness. You can induce a state of consciousness by meditation. Depression may just be a state of consciousness.

States of consciousness can usually be measured and distinguished from each other with standard brain-scanning methods.

Not all shift in these states need to be as flashy as a LSD trip. In fact, very few are.
For me Flask is obsolete. If I want a feature-rich web framework I go with Django, if I want (more) performance and simplicity, I go with FastAPI.

Comparing .NET to Flask is much easier on .NET, since it doesn't have all those Batteries included and yet doesn't reap the benefits from an async/type annotation approach like FastAPI.

In terms of commuting, 20 minutes is my threshold for starting counting the minutes.

Anything up to 20 minutes is zero in my mind.

I used to commute 90 minutes via public transport. Twice daily. Did I read a lot? Sure. It still was a nightmare.

I now commute 17 minutes by car. Biggest improvement of life quality I've ever had.

That's an ad hominem argument. In truth I don't care who's on trial, as the outcome of this specific trial is at this point an American culture war & politics issue that I'm uninterested in.

I am interested in how well courts handle technology and whether either prosecutors or defence attorneys can throw a wrench in proceedings with fanciful woo like "iPads, which are made by Apple, have artificial intelligence in them that allow things to be viewed through three dimensions and logarithms", and have that tolerated by judges who themselves are often technologically illiterate.

Not new ones, but I have a pair of original Sony Fontopias that came with a high end walkman around 20 years ago. They're built to last and incredibly comfortable with good audio quality. Unfortunately I dont think they made them that well for long. The equivalent headphones from only 5 years later were terrible in comparison.

Edit: I just looked them up. MDR-E484. They seem to be classics that sell for hundreds of dollars used! I never realised they were so sought after!
Misinformation = anything that even slightly contradicts the official government/media version.
> Author's opinion is subjective and falls under selection bias. There's a lot of famous people that don't use wired headphones

That's pretty obvious. The article gave that for granted (actually, it even explicitly acknowledged it) and put the spot on famous or not so famous people going the other way round. They will be always be a minority and guided by fashion/aesthetics rather than comfort, but it was worth (or not) to point it out.

Wealth of nations, book 1, actually. "toil and trouble" could be interpreted as "labour". I certainly take that interpretation.

though Smith really didn't make much use of the labour theory of value, as he thought it would be less relevant in an advanced economy. Riccardo and especially Marx developed and used it much more. (For Marx see the first part of Capital)
I think what they may have meant is, don't wait until you are certain you have hit rock bottom and then start to work on the things that will make you feel better, do it now. Not five minutes from now. Now now. Because there is no bottom. Your inner void in infinite. And the longer you fall the longer is the climb upwards.

Nothing wrong with that, but a common sense explanation by an expert witness ought to be enough. Does Apple need to be dragged into each and every case to testify as to how pinch to zoom works, as was demanded here?

I use Beyerdynamic 990 at home and Beyerdynamic 770 in the office. Both with an additional ModMic and FiiO DACs.

At the office I recently got one of the wireless ModMic things with a dongle.

It is nice to safe a cable, but then the battery life time of the mod mic is around 7 hours. So I am glad at home that i simply dont have to think about it.
Thanks! That's more to think over, and absolutely makes sense.

Yes, 'normal' people see the world through a pink veil, built by the 'drugs' that their body produces. Most depression treatments seek to artificially provide those drugs.
As someone who grew up in a farming rural environment.

this seems like an oversimplification of what is possible.

Farming land with solar panels on it means either not using vehicles or mounting the panels up very high and even then a lot of large scale farming vehicles will need to be heavily modified to fit underneath and inside the mounting poles.

I['d say the usage scenarios for this concept are very very narrow.
>the application is making GET, POST and PUT requests to send the file

Have you looked at the actual payload of the POST/GET/PUT requests? It only contains the WebRTC offers/answers. Actual file transfer is via local WebRTC.

That seems unnecessarily harsh.

I've known a lot of people who have a thriving life outside of work, but are also very driven and value their work highly.
However, git has all those features; whereas each of the other DVCSes had only a couple of them.

That is what made git successful.

The git cli is, comparatively, a lot easier to grok than it was at the start.

One thing about software, once you've had a (bad) first impression it is very hard to reformulate your opinion.

If the grandparent is lucky enough to find an advocate for git, who is willing to spend time with them, perhaps their opinion might change.
My employer for currently blacklists Firefox from being used to launch a session in their 3rd-party remote desktop portal. I use a UA switcher. It works fine. This behavior, while brain-dead, is at least trivial to circumvent. I'm happy to let them continue to check a box on their audit preparation form saying they have control over this, and to continue to have a URL rule to change my UA for the portal, rather than having to hack my client further or keep a separate browser around to launch my daily session.

> 19 Bells Palsy per 100 000 vaccine(from paper provided) = 0.00019

> Bells Palsy from COVID in the general poulation

7 million (infected 50 year olds) * .08% (of BP from the paper) = 5600 / 350 million(us population) = 0.000016

Looks like your chances are significantly better NOT getting the vaccine. And it just gets dramatically worse the younger age groups you look at.

This is assuming the vaccine affects every age group similarly which there is conveniently no data on that I could find. But according to the news media it does affect everyone the same.

> happiness was never an end in itself

It's even worse than that. From an evolutionary point of view happiness is a dead end. There is no reason to evolve if you are happy.
Hmmm.

I think there's been a lot of speculation about human musical tendencies and the relationship to speech and intelligence.

Idk if it's wise to hypothesise that "intelligence" arises at any point. We don't have very good definitions of intelligence. Also, brain size of all homo species is massive relative to ancestral species and that seems likely to be related.

Certain types of human intelligence abilities are pretty tightly coupled with speech, articulated or otherwise. Also, most primates vocalize communication and even have some vocabulary of semantic words. So, it didn't arise suddenly out of nowhere.

All interesting stuff. I'll check out Jordania.
You basically have to start a conversation with yourself.

AFAIK, there is no way to do that in the mobile app, so you will need to use those Whatsapp redirectors, and redirect to your own number.

So many of those themes are found outside the Gita, often they can be uncovered thru a good life. But the cohesion is missing - it does feel like the author cut out small bits of Dogma from many 'religions' as they were uncovered or found relevant, informed by their experience. The main point I find interesting is that each of us does this 'pick and choose'.
While I don't think anything in the linked article is wrong per se, it's a very brief look at a complicated and interesting topic. I'm slowly working my way through Ratcliffe's Experiences of Depression (mentioned in the article), which is basically "the" volume on this topic. It's a highly technical book (surprisingly so given the wide variety of people I've seen talking about it), so be prepared for a lot of psych jargon, but it's rewarding if you want to take a deeper dive into how depression feels than you get through reading the dry definitions in the DSM and similar resources. It probably helps with comprehension to have had depressive experiences yourself and possibly even more to have experienced a wide variety of conscious states (through psychotropic medication, psychedelics, other mental illnesses, shocking life experiences or otherwise).

I'd say the book is so important that I wish the author would write a book on the same topic but in simpler language (popsci-esque, except less superficial than the typical popsci book) that could be read by a wider audience than Experiences of Depression. I think a lot of people have severe difficulties understanding depressed friends or family because the nuances of the experience of a depressed person are so difficult to convey in words. Such a book could help bridge the gap.
I wonder if it could be even better and lighter with carbon fiber instead of basla wood.
I don't disagree with the article in principle, but to me it seems that us the modern people are pressured much harder than previous generations.

At 41 y/o I have arrived at most of the same wisdom but I can't see how and where can I implement it.

As others commenters said, I wish I could take a pay cut and work on things I love more than my current job. I absolutely can't afford it; not because I can't take the income hit month by month -- I surely can, let's not forget us the programmers are rather privileged -- but I can't afford not saving, especially having in mind where does the world seem to go (potential economical crisis on the horizon).

If I arrive at a point in my life where I can unquestionably abide by the philosophy described in the article, I might cry emotionally, while yelling of pain and happiness at the same time. For now though, it's still not happening.

(And that's leaving aside the fact that I don't necessarily agree that material minimalism leads to happiness necessarily.)
The quote in the parent comment says that the whole hedonic machinery within us is a result of natural selection, of which conscious happiness is just a side effect. Then why not just go ahead and do what that machinery drives you do to: go and have offspring. Chances are that this is the nexus where most happiness can be found.
Your counterargument applies to your work place only though, do you know of other companies that did the same?
It's based on the idiom "stay on top of things" which has lots of explanatory resources (but apparently no clear etymology).
Without blur such low framerate looks very bad. Look up some gaming footage on youtube that's 24fps. It just looks like a slideshow not the motion.
>get back on top of it

'on top of it' indicates to 'be in control'

the 'get back' to 'regain'

as used this is then 'regain control of yourself', rather than allowing the depression to continue its course.
> People who made laws in 1919 knew why certain laws were made. 60 years later almost all of them were dead and people in power never experienced the issues earlier laws successfully prevent, so they did not consider them important.

We're seeing this also in other areas of society - once people who have experienced a traumatic event die, they cannot tell the tale any more and revisionists have it easier and easier to deny, alter or outright falsify records. Holocaust denial and the current pandemic are the best examples of the modern time - there aren't many left who have experienced KZs first-hand, and there aren't many KZ or Arbeitslager outside of Germany where people can see physical evidence. For the 1918 flu pandemic, we only have records - and those that we have aren't the most exact since bookkeeping wasn't as commonplace as it is today, records were lost or damaged as a result of fires, wars or discarding, and methods such as DNA/RNA analysis didn't even exist back then.

For more recent events such as the Balkan wars, the situation is a bit more complex - we have lots of survivors, physical evidence (mass graves) and court documents, but nationalist politicians have managed to create massive intimidation campaigns against those who dare to speak up against "the truth" (as defined by the government). For China and its human rights violations (Tiananmen massacre, Tibetan and Uyghur genocide), economic and geopolitical reality prevents standing up.

The result is that people can claim and do all kinds of bullshit, and with no eye-witnesses able/willing to stand up against this and archives incomplete or difficult to access it is also harder for regular people to stand up and counter these narratives.

This is often referred to as "Chesterton's fence", the principle that reforms should not be made until the reasoning behind the existing state of affairs is understood.

> In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, “I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.” To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: “If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.

I'm curious which societal problems you think are fixed by moving? Indeed moving can resolve the issue for a given individual but I cannot think of any situation in which moving solves the underlying problem.
I'd go a step further and say that technology is nature. Humans just represent another way for nature to enhance the permutation of new possibilities. For thousands of years, we acted like the animal analogue to the fungal mattes that had terraformed the continental landmasses to become livable by plants hundreds of millions of years ago.

Everywhere we went, we planted intricately organised forests of different plant species that then aided an enhanced biodiversity of the fauna too. It's only recently in our history that humans have turned from a proliferator of biodiversity to a poison for it.

Yes, the conceptual framework is pretty minimal (especially compared to C++). Still you need to "get it" to write even a simple conditional or a loop (I mean sending a block of code to a boolean or a block of code).
