I absolutely think the advice offered is important, that we often are ungrounded in our ideas & excitement. The mind allows massive parts of the picture to be unfilled, it hides us from the details we miss.

But I would very much like to see some advice & treatment that takes the young padwan's concerns up genuinely. Computing is so unbounded & unlimited, and I it would be so much for the better if we had more than such typical anodyne responses to each other that the padwans sees, if our attitudes weren't so bogged down, so technically picky. Excitement ought to be more contagious, we ought to be able to foster a hungrier, more open enthusiasm.
> Also I thought Evan Williams and Biz Stone were the Twitter founders?

He was a founder...ish.

From reading his Wikipedia, it seems like it was an x.com / PayPal situation. He joined their company to help them with the idea then when they spun Twitter out, he became CEO.

From digging in a bit deeper, the lineage of Twitter seems fascinating. It seems like it was the result of the companies of the co-founders putting together that created something even better than their own parts.
I believe it's a consequence of the Cold War and the disinformation campaign that the Soviets and now the Russians engage in.

It takes only a small number of operatives to organize grass roots groups that spread hate, cynicism, and division. It's easy to take amplify and escalate nascent conflict to ensure that discourse fails and that conflicts flare up

I don't actually mean IntelliJ in particular, but Java having its own UI kit. Nothing looks or feels native on any platform. I've heard something about a graphical widget kit that emulates native on Java, but as far as I can tell IntelliJ (and most Java apps I've seen) don't use it.

Though since you mentioned IntelliJ, I find its UI pretty hectic too, a hodgepodge of 90s-style MDI and modern tabs and split panes. Some of the most common patterns (going between the terminal, code editor, debugger, git, npm, and DB browser) requires navigating between like seven different places in no logical arrangement.

Why is npm a tab bar in the lower left, the actual npm list in a pane above it, git/terminal debugger on the bottom, the code editor in the upper right, the db browser in the upper right sidebar (which isn't even visible by default), the db query itself in a tab mixed with the code editor, the debugger output in the bottom but the button to start it in the top toolbar...

I can never find the features easily because I don't know which pane or tab group it's supposed to be in. In something like VScode, the features are categorized in a hierarchy and arranged in layers in the left sidebar in a sensical drill-down pattern. Xcode is visually cleaner too.

It's not just about the presentation of UI widgets (scroll bars, etc.) but how they're arranged in terms of information architecture, discoverability, cognitive load, diving down, etc. Everything is a "module" of equal value competing for screen real estate and together it is pretty visually overwhelming, especially to new users. More important things like the terminal or debugger shouldn't have the same level of prominence as the less important things (profiler, R jobs). Not all features get used with the same frequency, or in the same contexts, but IntelliJ organizes them all pretty flat.

That's just me, though. It's like a lesser version of the MS Office "toolbars vs ribbon" debate. If Jetbrains actually tried to overhaul their UX, they'd probably see a mass exodus of wizened old beards.
Great word. Will go into my lexicon along with Sitzfleisch, Pimperlgsund and other gems I have picked up along the way.

I'm excited to see this and signed up for the preview. It's just in time for M1 Pro MacBooks.

If this is priced close to JetBrains' other products and works decently well I could see myself signing up for it. The subscription would pay for itself in one averted experience like this a year :P
English is the lingua franca in India for a reason, one of the things I found interesting about the British Raj, is, the english sowed the seeds of tools of their own exit - Railways, English and Civil Society (specifically the Indian Civil Service and some vague ideals of Democracy).

Those three things took the area that comprised British India, from a bunch of loosely connected nation-states, each with their own cultures, languages, and religions - while still having much in common, but not something that was easily unifiable, to something much more cohesive, to something that could be united.

Then leaders came along who were educated in Britain, filled with British democratic ideals who learned how to subvert to colonial system from within. Who then did so, they wrestled what was considered the crown jewel of the empire from the British, with the tools the British gave them. It's still a brilliant feat, because it used colonialism to subvert and ultimately defeat colonialism.

None of this should be construed as a defense of the Raj, or to imply that India could not have unified itself without those tools, but it turned an impossibly gargantuan task into a merely very hard one, because those tools allowed (at least temporarily) for people to overcome sectarian differences, and work together as one people towards a common goal with a common understanding.

I wish people knew more about partition however, partition is the greatest humanitarian crisis the world knows nearly nothing about, it rivals even the holocaust in size, and it didn't have to happen, but for a lack of trust between the Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. I believe that India, Pakistan and Bangladesh would be stronger today if it was one nation rather than three.
> An actual infection is the only way to get any kind of long term immunity

I can understand this intuition, that only "the real thing" can make you immune to it. But do you have any data to back up this claim? And what, then, is your conclusion? That we should get vaccinated, and then catch COVID afterward to make sure that we have real, lasting immunity? Or that we should skip vaccination altogether, and just accept the 3-4% risk of dying?

> I'd bet in most companies the CEO is basically just a buffer between the board and the rest of the company

Are you thinking of companies in general, or of reasonably prominent/stable publicly traded companies? The CEOs at the startups I've worked at did a heck of a lot more than that -- fundraising, strategy, resolving personnel issues, talking to clients, etc.; I'm thinking of a small company (10-20 employees) and a mid-sized one (400-500).

I didn't read the article (and from the comments here, it seems to be a waste of time), but there are 2 phrases in there: "Horn Please" and "OK"; it's not "Horn OK Please", even though it's written that way.

"Horn Please" is to tell the vehicle behind that they can sound the horn if they want to pass.

"OK", I think, comes from "OK Tata" (as in "OK, bye bye").
I dunno, I appreciate that they're not optimizing for your usecase, but I think their defaults do in fact make sense for the majority of users they're targeting.

I completely agree with you. Pity is a particularly disturbing version of contempt. But if you think that this contempt is only reflected in the diversity circus, you are fooling yourself.

High-caste Americans (sorry Wilkerson, the simile is too good to let it go) want to virtue-signal and maybe give some breadcrumbs to the minorities they feel pity for, not put them at their level.

>I don't see the advantage mRNA would have over traditional vaccines for the flu,

The current flu vaccine targeting isn't 100% reliable. If they can get better targeting for the mRNA vaccine it could be a win.

Eggs are used in the process for the traditional vaccine. Some people are allergic to eggs, so they can't take the traditional flu vaccine. For those people the mRNA version would be an option.

I would agree that it isn't an emergency, but there are benefits to it.
Twitter is the absolutely fastest way to get new information. For example the “Omicron” variant surfaced into my Twitter feed last week minutes after the first briefing by South African health authorities, when it was still known only by its numerical designation, before any news service had written it up.

The value of this is that it gives me more time to spend digging deeper into topics that matter to me. I don’t have to keep the TV on in the background all the time to maintain situational awareness. I don’t have to constantly skim basic news articles just to know what is happening.

In Israel the most common meaning is "Get off my lane, RIGHT NOW!", so I wouldn't be surprised if it's not just Syria but a big chunk of the Middle East that follows that rule.

It could also be used to call another driver's attention (e.g. if you have a broken taillight and did not notice), or to warn against a police trap (in the pre-Waze era) and maybe a few other things, but it never means "thank you".

Right now they're full-bore trying to fight the electric vehicle movement because they are dead-set on hybrid cars being the "future" even though it's plain as day that they won't be except for most consumers.

I wonder what are the implications for the automated cars.
Hey there, I'm a big fan of the game Factorio and the beauty of the structure of factories inspired me to artfully visualize exported Factorio blueprints.

Probably something related to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice%27s_theorem

The amount of brainpower needed today to _prove_ that a smart contract does exactly what is intended doesn't scale to a whole financial system. The existing financial system gets away with having "oracles" called judges (in a court). I think we can graft this onto Ethereum by accompanying each smart contract with some natural language that can be interpreted as its "intent", and in the event any bug in the code violates this intent we can bring in a human judge who can decide whether to fork or not.

On the other side, I think any sufficiently strong theorem-proving strategy will resemble simply limiting yourself to a non-Turing-complete subset of the language.

Many epidemiologists are effectively specialized data scientists, and I don't think a random data scientist could provide equal analysis. Sure, they can both run a regression, but you benefit from understanding particular study designs, as well as biology/chemistry/toxicology.

I don't know much about infectious disease epidemiology, but I'll use glyphosate toxicity as an example from environmental epidemiology. Glyphosate was found to be non-carcinogenic by the EPA, but if you review the literature on glyphosate toxicity, industry-affiliated researchers tended to study pure glyphosate, and these studies were the majority of those considered by EPA. Researchers without industry affiliation tended to study glyphosate in the formulations actually sold in products such as RoundUp, and found much stronger evidence of carcinogenic toxicity.

I don't think a generic data scientist would think to ask the question about glyphosate formulations, as many people at EPA did not.
But oh man, when it is time to replace the CEO the first thing you hear is "we have to offer those millions of dollars or some other company will snipe our CEO!" CEO is the only job where the company suddenly decides that it does have to offer the most money to attract the top talent.
Twitter is only like that if one consumes that content. Like, if one only ever follows John Carmack and Gwern, that won't be the experience.

I suggest Matthew 7:5 for them.
Cardano does have significant benefits though. For example native tokens rather than wrapping things in smart contracts saves a lot of space, computation, and expense.
> I don't own any Lenovo products

Exactly. Lenovo has viable and desirable products that you could purchase if you were so inclined. That's not the case for Boring and Neuralink.

Boring makes a D-grade tourist attraction and offers no viable solution to the problem they claim to be solving.

Neuralink's biggest success has been in bringing attention to the field, but has made no actual progress of its own.

And that's not to say they won't bring viable products/solutions some day, but it's clear where Musk shines (e.g. bringing in money, hype, PR) and where he's atrocious (e.g. executing, planning, people). Shotwell is a fantastic example of a CEO using Musk where he shines, and keeping him away from where he's bad. What Tesla, Boring, and Neuralink all need are their own respective Shotwells.
So you're saying people have cared about these poems enough that they've formed communities around discussing them for literal centuries? :)
