I can't provide constructive feedback. I just don't know how. Most of my attempts have failed, been counter productive, or worse. I can't think of an instance that I didn't later regret. (Which might be some kind of negative selection bias.)

I think maybe role playing would help. Like taking improv classes.

I had this notion while reading Voss' "Never Split the Difference". It's about using the latest hostage negotiation techniques in normal life. Like when asking for a salary increase. Entering a negotiation cold (no practice) is doomed to fail.

Expecting someone (eg yourself) to be good at giving constructive feedback without training and practice is kinda silly.

Back when I had to do a lot of public speaking, I hired people to help me. Stuff like stump speeches, practice debates, endorsement interviews. They recorded grilling me and then we'd review the tape. Hard but helpful. I wasn't ever very good, but they helped me be not terrible.

I'm actually curious about this since I've never uploaded to youtube myself. Do the creators get statistics on segments that are commonly skipped, or is all information like that hidden?
Lots of good extensions in this thread.

Here are some optional extensions I like:

- Twemex - https://twemex.app/ - Adds a really useful sidebar to Twitter.

- Recipe Filter - https://github.com/sean-public/RecipeFilter - Focuses recipes front and center on food blogs

- Notion Boost - https://gourav.io/notion-boost - Adds a lot of really nice features to Notion

- Tampermonkey - https://www.tampermonkey.net/ - Lets you create your own JS customizations on web pages without needing to make a whole browser extension.

I really wish it was far easier for everyday people to make their own personal browser extension-like functionality and share it with others. Extending the apps we use feels really empowering and can help people transition from helpless consumers of apps to authors of how their computer works. Here's an essay I like detailing this view:

https://www.geoffreylitt.com/2019/07/29/browser-extensions.h...

And while I'm here I'd also like to plug a service I wrote that lets you easily add paid features to extensions you develop:

https://extensionpay.com

I made it to use myself but lots of developers have found it useful in monetizing their extensions without ads or selling user data. And even to my surprise, users are actually willing to pay for browser extensions! The service has made devs over $13k since I launched earlier this year!

It's about the same magnitude of an issue as with guns, I think. In both cases you have the vast majority of people responsibly partaking, but you can't deny that their presence makes some things much worse.

I think the dynamics and beliefs are similar between the two: your primary exposure to alcohol could be having fun with it and friends, or it could be from growing up in an alcoholic family. You could grow up thinking guns are just a normal, if somewhat dangerous, tool (like a lawnmower), or most exposure could come from salacious gun news stories. It will all color how you feel about the topics.

(stats from memory, but I think order of magnitude correct). 30k gun deaths a year, of which 20k are suicide. Self-inflicted death from alcohol dwarfs 20k, and deaths to others from, e.g., drunk driving are comparable to gun homicides. Then you have the splashy things like school shootings, which I think are roughly comparable to driving a car through a Christmas parade while intoxicated.

Is that bad because you don't have the space to store it or is it bad because you don't like it in principle?

If its the former then its a non issue. Storage is cheap and plentiful and code takes up little space relative to other assets such as multimedia content.

If its the latter then I don't know what to tell you other than practical issues are more important than style ones when making practical software. The community has voted and decided that classic package management doesn't cut it and easy of installing software is important.

And I have to agree with them. Time and time again we've been shown that friction to users doing whatever it is they want is the biggest barrier to adoption. Its easy for tech types like ourselves to get stuck in the weeds of the computer. But to most its a means to an end and if it isn't facilitating that then they will find another.

Having put up with being filtered by shoddy Applicant Tracking Systems, workers are now implementing their own Recruiter Tracking Systems - how poetic!
If we're fair, you not knowing why recruiters often but not always suck, is in a sense a status signal itself. Recruiters suck because most of the time, they literally don't do anything useful, nor do they even usually have direct contact with a hiring manager. Quite literally, most of them just accept a CV, then give you the HackerRank test you'd get anyway, if they actually work for the company. If they don't, you get to pass every line of communication through them, maybe even letting them modify your resume so it obscures your own contact details, before you get that automated test.

That said, some are fine.
Absolutely.

One doesn't use shellcheck when using the shell interactively though, so it's still good habits to take.
Hello!

I wrote a GUI app written in tkinter to help you practice Python regular expressions. Total 75 questions on `re.search`, `re.sub`, `re.split` and `re.findall` that'll test your understanding of anchors, alternation, grouping, escaping metacharacters, dot metacharacter, quantifiers, character class, grouping, lookarounds, flags, etc.

These exercise questions have been adapted from my "Python re(gex)?" ebook (free to read online [0]). See Exercises.md [1] for all the exercise questions from this book.

I'd appreciate your feedback :)

The book "The Dorito Effect" goes into this a lot. Basically, the sugar substitutes are often discovered in food labs by accident (someone didn't wash their hands and licked their fingers, ew).

How so? Has voting ever brought any major social change? If anything, history has shown that when a vote threatens the status quo, an armed coup financed by the industry (and often foreign imperialism) will take place (see: Allende, Sankara, etc).

I think the situation about voting is summarized pretty well by this funny rap clip form the 2016 USA elections: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=D9Qv6S_GtLo

He eventually released a commercial product, the Satiator, and I'm happy to say that it works great and is very well supported by the creator himself and the community!

For those unfamiliar, the Satiator is an adapter of sorts that lets you load Saturn ISOs onto an SD card and play them via the Saturn's MPEG adapter slot.

Unlike many solutions on various consoles that bypass the optical drive, no hardware modifications are required. Your Saturn stays intact; it's truly plug-and-play.

This sort of thing is important. Consoles (specifically moving parts, like the optical drives) and physical media from the 90s are failing. Surviving consoles and games can be quite expensive; even thousands of dollars. Emulation is imperfect and introduces lag. Satiator and other flashcarts let us play these games on original hardware and bypass these issues.

I've passively ignored most of what is popular culture since high school. Which is to say I'm not hiding under a rock, but I'm not feeling left out if I don't have my finger on the pulse.

I _always_ miss some film, tv and music when it's current, but I easily catch up on it years later. Theater is the only cultural genre where you 'use it or lose it', and I accept that bargain.

I have learned that expounding on what you don't know makes you sound like an idiot and/or a snob. Boy, it can be very tempting though when people are talking about reality TV empires.

New Star Wars and Star Trek properties are developed by people who don't understand (or even like) the original Star Wars or Star Trek properties. As always, when rebooting or remaking something from the 1990's, they're hoping they can get a payday from:

1. Curious young people who missed out on the original, and will check it out because those poor souls have no pop culture of their own and have grown accustomed to remakes.

2. Crusty old farts who complain about everything, but a lot of time still check it out anyway out of nostalgia.

They usually DO make enough of a payday to justify the model.

"Too many books" was apparently a problem already 2000 years ago; here's Seneca advising his friend against it, in his letter-2:

[quote]

Be careful, though, about your reading in many authors and every type of book. It may be that there is something wayward and unstable in it. You must stay with a limited number of writers and be fed by them if you mean to derive anything that will dwell reliably with you. One who is everywhere is nowhere. Those who travel all the time ﬁnd that they have many places to stay, but no friendships. The same thing necessarily happens to those who do not become intimate with any one author, but let everything rush right through them. [...]

'But I want to read different books at different times,' you say. The person of delicate digestion nibbles at this and that; when the diet is too varied, though, food does not nourish but only upsets the stomach. So read always from authors of proven worth; and if ever you are inclined to turn aside to others, return afterward to the previous ones. Obtain each day some aid against poverty, something against death, and likewise against other calamities. And when you have moved rapidly through many topics, select one to ponder that day and digest. This is what I do as well [...]

> Has anyone heard from the President a message to reduce consumption in the U.S.? We waste so much, there need be no hint of tightening belts or doing without things we like. Most Americans could drop our emissions and waste 50 percent just improving our lives. We live this huge lie that consumption correlates with quality of life, health, or happiness for most of us.

To be blunt, I wouldn't vote for a politician that told me I need to reduce my quality of life, nor would most people, which is why you never hear a politician say things like that. The average person does not want to hear that they need to tighten their belt so that someone else's belt now or in the future can be loosened. That's just not how people work.

There are many reasons to not drink, including personal convictions, family history of alcohol abuse, health reasons, religious/belief reasons, not enjoying the feeling of being drunk, or simple lack of interest in drinking in the first place. Do not assume that parent is somehow trying to elevate themselves over anyone, you or drinkers in general.
What is a static password?
Maybe you are right, I want to be able to talk and discuss topics with friends and peers. I feel that is hard sometimes to know what others are watching and how it matches my taste. I enjoy as much watching and reading media as I enjoy sharing that experience with others.

If you do not enjoy sharing experiences with others, whatever you see is good if you like it.

> rather than as an attempt at gaining social cachet then it's fine.

At least for me, I do not think that watching iZombie, Dune or Cowboy Bebop makes me look better, but it allows to share good moments with friends. To explain the complete plot of a movie or several episodes from a TV show just for a pun or a quick observations is not what we like.

I am ok with you watching just for yourself, but it seems that you do not approve that I or others like to share opinions and talk about media.
Why is that?
During prohibition, there were companies that sold "wine bricks", or concentrated grape juice bricks.

They came with a warning that read: "Do NOT dissolve and leave on a cool cupboard for 21 days or it would turn it into wine".

It would be impossible to outlaw alcohol today. You can make alcohol out of anything.
You are right. But with the marketing of them with sandboxing and whatnot, they create the impression and illusion that it is safe. Cos most of them install it from Flathub or Snapcraft. The assumption is that they go through all of it and that it is safe. Just like Play store and App store. I am pretty sure Flatpak folks now this. It is like... we won't lie. But we are not also gonna tell the truth.

To make things worse, Flathub changed the way they display "Publisher" field for a flatpak. Which says whether a package was published by Flathub maintainers, Upstream developer or somebody else in Flathub. Now instead of saying who, they just say a "See details" link under Publisher field in flathub.org for a flatpak. That link which in turn directs me to a github page and I am still unsure who the hell uploaded that flatpak.

Before, they used to say Upstream developer's name or say "Flathub maintainers" which means Flathub team uploaded the flatpak making it easier verify who uploaded the flatpak. But now it is making it more difficult. This has been the most pissing thing about Flatpak other than the security issues and problems which keeps coming up about Flathub every now and then. Why would you change something that is so crucial when it is working?

Cos now, I could package a software which is not in Flathub and it would just say "See details" instead of my name. This provides the illusion of trust. Cos if it were to show my name there, more people would've been like.. who the hell is this guy and do a check on me (I used to do that). But now, If I could slip through Flathub checks and provide malicious flatpak, majority of the folks will still install cos most of them are using Flatpak for convenience. Not security and performance.

"Everything" is a bit of an exaggeration.

I'm sure like at all fish markets, there is frozen fish available, either because it was imported or because that's the way it was pre-processed on the local boat.

But to say "everything is flash frozen". That's pushing it. You fall flat at shellfish at a start. ;-)

> When I read the JSON-ld examples I see fields containing @-prefixed links to other JSON documents, but why not just include that JSON in the original document, instead of linking to it?

A few reasons:

- It avoids bloating the response, especially if the referenced data contains other references, and so on.

- It allows cycles, e.g. person A's "spouse" can reference person B, and person B's "spouse" can reference person A.

- We can reference things which we don't know, or haven't bothered to calculate, or aren't permitted to access, or which don't even exist yet. All we need is their URL.

- References aren't simply locations (URLs, which we can GET), they're also identifiers (URIs). URIs let us reference a particular thing, whereas an embedded value might be ambiguous. For example, the value `{"firstName": "Tom", "surname": "Cruise"}` might be talking about the famous actor, or some other person called Tom Cruise. In contrast, a reference like "https://dbpedia.org/page/Tom_Cruise" only refers to the actor.

- URIs are quick and easy to compare, whereas JSON values are computationally harder to compare (especially if we're inlining a whole bunch of related values), and ambiguous; e.g. in the Tom Cruise example above, is that JSON object the same (semantically) as one which also contains `"birthDate": "1962-07-03"`?
That still does not change the argument that file size does not matter.

In fact, this reinforces it. OSX believes file size matters so
little they’re willing to double file size simply so users don’t have to pick x64 or x86 when downloading the app (and if they’re using the App Store the App Store could do it for them, but even that Apple thinks is too much complexity).
