Where I live (USA), private arbitration is definitely preferred by many corporations who require it, and despised by the people who are forced into it.

Sometimes I can't believe that as an industry we've failed to internalize things we've known about for almost half a century.

It'd be one thing if there were managers out there actively disputing the ideas in the book, but I don't really ever see that. Like you say, more often I find managers that claim to have read it and agree. But still, shit like "let's flag if this project is late so we can try to add more people to it" gets said all the fucking time.

I think with a lot of managers, trusting downwards just isn't a thing they're able to do, and so the only move they think they have is to view engineers as miners chipping away at "man-months" of software work. Sometimes I almost think it doesn't matter to them if it actually works or not, it's just the only move they see so it's the only thing they'll do.

A company the size of Microsoft can not hide behind - "it's weekend we also need a break".

I assume a company this size has teams working around the clock, the question is the priority. I guess GitHub doesn't have a high enough priority which is very sad.

I understand it's humans but we're also humans and we managed to figure out exactly what's up and what's down and we even reported it very conveniently here on HN for the people at GitHub for free

Sorry for the rant I spent a few very confused minutes trying to understand wtf I'm doing wrong, because naive me was thinking there's no way GitHub is down....
You don't need anything from CBT to think that depressed people tend to reach for explanations that mean everything is as horrible as possible preferentially.

Just being with one for a while will show you that bias very quickly when you hear about how every random person they passed on the street secretly hates them or thinks they're ugly or somehow did something that relates to their biggest insecurity.

It's true that I can't prove the world doesn't secretly hate them, but my own experience of literally never thinking about the random strangers I walk past informs my belief that this likely has more to do with the person's insecurity than the reality of what's going on in those people's minds.
Australia’s proximity to China is maybe affecting its western ideals. This is one of many things it’s done and doing recently to make it a less free country and this can only be a slippery slope which they are already sliding on.
I guess what I'd really like to see is a demo of the different effects and filters and whatnot. Nothing extreme, but show how they can make the same pictures into a different experience.
Generally when I write on religion, I do make that clear. If some want to dismiss my views because of that, that's their choice. I certainly dismiss a lot of what religious people say, so I can hardly call it unfair.
>Arduino shields

The Achilles heel of a bunch of PCB alternatives (conductive ink, conductive plastics, plastic laminates like zebra connectors) is resistance, which will be hundreds of times worse than copper. Fine for reflective LCDs or capacitive keypads, bad for anything that uses more power. For the carbon connectors in the Fujipoly catalog https://www.fujipoly.com/usa/assets/files/Fujipoly%202015%20... they list a current rating for a 0.040"x0.040" pad as 0.005 amps. That's 3.125 amps per square inch. A single 0.10" header pin can do something like 4 amps, and you can fit a hundred of them in a square inch.

Non-ideal for shield stacks that want to move current between layers, not just data, like wifi shields or battery shields. (Really high current devices like relay shields or bigger motor controller shields often have their own dedicated power connectors)

The gold and silver connectors have better current capacities, but my psychic powers tell me they cost a lot more.

While I generally agree I’d just say we should be careful about anthropomorphizing COVID-19 or any other virus. They don’t have desires. It may be evolutionarily advantageous though to “stay alive” by continuing to propagate and spread.
The result is the same if you don't give a shit about the quality of the keycaps you are using. Most people don't care at all and that's fine. For those of us who do care even a little, the result is obviously not the same. Even if you don't want to pay for the more expensive option the difference in quality would be apparent.

Also, custom keyboards are basically fashion accessories (and I'm typing this on a $1200 fashion accessory so that's not a criticism of people who like fancy keyboards). After you get above a few hundred dollars the diminishing returns hit hard and fast and at that points 99% of what you are getting is aesthetics unless you're talking about some kind of rare vintage board. Luxury items are frequently priced different from practical items. Lots of people will pay 10-100x the price of an item because it was "made by hand" just because they want to enjoy the expertise of the person who made it rather than just have an object that was produced by a machine.
I'm someone who can copy a picture or scene in front of me to near photo-realism level of detail, but usually makes cartoon-like pictures without a reference. I can visualize 3-D Tetris blocks in my head and rotate them at will, and read off information (like, if letters were assigned to the faces of the blocks, I could spin the whole chunk around and read off according to instructions). I think the main difference here is due to two factors: 1. Time investment, and behind that, 2. Contextual demands. With a reference, one may feel more _expected_ to produce a high-fidelity drawing, and take the appropriate time. But if someone simply asks, "Draw a horse", I would usually try to make a basic outline, and not worry too much about the details. The difference between a photo-realistic drawing, and one that is like a child's, is tens of hours of focused work, because reality is very easy to picture for many people, but reproducing that level of detail requires a lot of pencil-strokes.
Check out the concept of a "Everett-Wheeler telephone".

If quantum mechanics had a non-linearity and... some other conditions, then you could use it to send, uh, some information between two sides of a branch point, uh, once, I think.

At least, you could send a single bit from one side of the branch to the other.

I think the idea is,
if there are non-linearities in time evolution, then either [the thing described above] is possible, or sending messages back in time is possible?

So, that's, I suppose, a reason one might expect time evolution to be completely linear?
(beyond just, it being not completely linear being like, super ugly.)

But, also, I don't think the "duplicating the universe requires duplicating all the matter" really follows from QM stuff.

These "splittings", they aren't...
It is all just linear combinations of things.

Ok, so, idk how to handle this in like, a relativistic context, but in a non-relativistic context, if you are just talking about unitary time evolution, with no born rule discrete jump stuff imposed on top (which, if you are using MWI , which I assume is what you mean because you are talking about the splittings, is the thing), then it's not like you have some single time at which you go from one universe to two universes? It's all just continuous time evolution of the wavefunction. The worlds are just projections of this wavefunction into parts that can be considered independently because of like, decoherence and such? Something like that.

Maybe you could think of it as less "the world if the measurement outcome is x" and more "the world insofar as the measurement outcome is x" ?
I think also even if it is semi-benign to start, it could further mutate of course, and not for the best.
In so many of these papers it seems to be almost a given that the global south is fucked so, holding that constant, they do a cost-benefit analysis on various levels of warming for already (mostly) rich countries.
Deep fakes DO NOT EXIST in the wild.

The technology does not exist. Even Hollywood struggles. "Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain" took 4 companies and months to do voice, AND once you know it's a deep fake you can tell. It's still tinny, but you would not notice without knowing.

At best deep fake pictures taken from researchers have been used for profiles in the wild.

You can see heaps of hostage videos here - https://www.google.com/search?q=%22I+just+invested%22+site%3... which is probably what it is.

I like the idea of the site but it doesn't match what I want when I'm in a particular mood. If I'm sleepy, I'm more likely to want to watch something chill. If I'm sad, I'm more likely to want to watch something sad. But there are also situations where I want the opposite, so it's not like there's a hard rule. I feel like the site would be better asking what mood they want to be in, instead of trying to guess it based on their current mood.
>They're probably being hosed by their suppliers too, since I can't imagine they have the money to invest in serious volume.

There are no suppliers IIRC. He spends like 2 weeks making a set of keycaps by hand and that's why its so expensive.

He also manufactures the cases himself.
I'm not sure myself. Growing up, I remember being frustrated anytime I was asked to imagine something. I imagined what other people's imaginations were capable of, which seemed like so much more. Where reading a book would lead to a movie playing in your mind's eye.

But still, I can see a short column of numbers and add them, move the carry, etc. But it never seemed like the visualizers could.
Ha, nice idea! But most of these have a problem for me.

varkappa -- there is already kappa, and one definitely shouldn't use both.

varsigma -- looks too much like zeta to me, others may differ. And there is already sigma, one probably shouldn't use both.

upsilon -- looks too much like nu to me, others may differ.

varpi -- looks like overbar omega, or some other variant of omega.

Upsilon -- looks like capital Y.

varrho -- there is already rho.

Xi -- seems like a good one!

vartheta -- this looks unique but again, there is already theta.

iota -- looks too much like i or 1.

Pi -- good one, I have seen this used for sets. In context there is rarely any confusion with product notation.
There are limited-release cars that I frequently wish I could have bought when they were on sale. The Honda Element, S2000, Prelude, del Sol, and Toyota FJ Cruiser are some that come to mind. I hope I'm not overlooking a cult classic today. Can anyone think of a cars like this?
> I honestly find these people to simply be trolls. The views espoused make no sense.

I hope it's not coming off as me trolling. I'm genuinely attempting to see what the other side of this discussion is. One side seems to represent remote work as a way to decentralize the industry allowing us all to move to lower cost of living areas, reduce the time "working" by not needing commutes, spend more time with family and children, and improve the amount of focus time you have.

As for the work-from-office side of things: I don't actually know why people want to return. As from what I can gather: people miss commuting and miss seeing other people. It seems fairly straight forward to me how this could be replicated in a WFH environment.

1. If you miss commuting adding a fake commute (home -> subway -> coffee shop -> subay -> home) into your day can help.

2. If you miss seeing people working from a shared office space like WeWork or attending meetups with other people in your field seems like a good substitute. You can talk shop with people who are actually your friends (changing jobs doesn't change your social group).

I see these as being very direct substitutes for what I see people bring up and I don't understand why these are not the same. Maybe because other people you are working with are not also doing these? Maybe it's that if the commute or socialization aren't part of the job it feels sort of "pointless"? I don't understand this though.

> Imagine if I suggested that they just video call their children from the office as a replacement for watching them grow up.

Funnily enough this is one of the reasons people like WFH. They can spend time with their kids instead of commuting.

> You want A, I want B. We can have both, it ain't even hard.

Actually, it is sort of difficult. In a world where we assume all workplaces allow WFH then yes, we can do both. Coworkers who want to work in an office can self organize into rented office space but the default of remote workers will change things: conference rooms need to allow people to dial in, people need to document discussions/decisions that are randomly made in office, etc. In a world where work-from-office is the assumed norm it is much harder to join a company as WFH since many processes are just not there.
I agree that many of these books are hard and super boring to read. That's why I always recommend books that are written in easy and accessible style, such as The Little Schemer, The New Turning Omnibus, and Programming Pearls (not Perl but Pearls by Jon Bentley). Or, books that are written in problem-hint-solution style, such as The Little Book of Semaphores and To Mock a Mockingbird. These are so fun and easy to read.
I’ll believe nodewood on this one.
K.

It’s not that they’re a danger or anything. It’s that you write in a certain way to convey a certain tone and short, period punctuated, sentences is just how you convey anger. You can try to fight the river on this one but it’ll be tough.

This uses Alps keyswitches which many people think are the best ever, me included.

I think some of the space cadet keyboards used hall effect switches which were supposed to be pretty good too.

This board is modelled after a non-space cadet keyboard which I don't think used either hall effect or Alps.
For me, not very real. It's just my way of describing the kind of spatial representation that is left behind for me after the visual fades.

For example if I think of a relative's home that I haven't been too for a while, I'll see one or more quick images like post card snapshots. When those fade, I'm left with a spatial map that I can mentally walk around in and touch. Or if it's of a beach, I can run an imaginary hand down the curve of the land. I don't see it. Or really, feel if it I "touch" it. It's just a sort of knowledge of filled and empty 3D space.

Those hallucinations sound freaky! I'm glad you've adjusted to them.

I would agree to an extent, but I think there are a few examples where the government should step in. Child porn being the biggest.
Well, speaking as a manager, I can tell you a LOT of that is coming from above middle management too, and the optics of adding people and failing is better than not adding people and failing.

Heck, I stepped away from my last job in part because the environment was that (really, 'leadership' was just generally so bad, and this was but one of its manifestations of suck). I kept having status meetings as we neared a due date (that had been set by product, not engineering, and which our velocity said we would not make) asking us if we'd make the date. To which I replied "Data says no; gut says maybe. If I say we're not going to make the date, what are we going to do differently?", and to which they had no answer -except- "pull people from other projects and put them on this one". Nevermind that the whole difficulty was learning the integrative aspects, i.e., communication, NOT implementation (and that was why gut said maybe; we had learned a lot already, which is what took a lot of time; we were still facing both known and unknown unknowns).

Meanwhile, the teams that were getting kudos were the ones where managers were just like "yep, we're floundering; give us more people". If they succeed, they were brilliant and knew to ask for help. If they failed, well, it was doomed, but at least they knew to ask for help. Nevermind if more people were actually helpful, and derailing other projects just to get them was worthwhile. Clearly, I was a bad cultural fit; I cared more about getting things done efficiently.

The Mythical Man Month reference there was helpful for not derailing things by having more people thrown in the mix; it wasn't helpful for avoiding blame.
You should ask them then. I find that "one-time payment" is pretty specific. Still, $15 is absurdly cheap for what you get.
Your previous comment just suggested that there's something pedagogically superior about this approach. If you don't believe that, you shouldn't have made the comment.
I've been using AHK and snippets (in VS Code) __a lot__. TBH, this functionality should ship with the OS.

Instead of having separate AHK scripts, I have "one script to rule them all". When Windows launches, "my precious" loads all my scripts. Many of them I use in MS Word.
That applies to any and all currencies, not specific to bitcoin. Scammers have existed for centuries.
DocuSign does not cost $10. It costs $10/month, which is waaaay more I’d spend to save past signed documents in the cloud.

It’d be “cheap” or an acceptable price if a signed document costed $5. Subscriptions are BS for occasional users.
The only people using “txt” speak without punctuation is boomers. Young people communicate in complete sentences when messaging, full of memes and in-jokes sure, but not abbreviated or avoiding punctuation.
The creator sells boards with either matias or vintage alps. There's a limited supply of the vintage ones though. You can also buy a kit and provide your own switches of IIRC when I emailed him he said you can also send him the switches if you wanted a variant of the Alps that he doesn't have.

I've tried modern and vintage and even modern ones modded to feel like vintage in various boards and the real vintage ones are far superior.
In front of my eyes. It's sort of like returning with my eyes closed to a spot where I once stood, opening my eyes for a quarter-second, and closing them again. Or like somebody briefly holding up a post-card in front of my face. The image quickly fades.

Yeah, that part of the explaination felt strange to me as it's not intuitive and the student is taking the author's word for it. There's no difference between that and completing the square without understanding how it works - or just blinding memorizing the quadratic equation.
I think that part of what I discovered in the multiple degrees/kind of aphantasia. And like you most of those questions dot make sens. For many aphantasic people they do. And a lot of question I get is "how do you remember color if you don't see them in your head". One of the analogies I have is that my memory is a bit like a hash/bloom filter. I can't really get the original value, but I can tell you wether it's the same or not. I think the other part where aphantasic differ is WRT math. Others in this thread said that can't do math in their head as they can't see the number/equations. I have no issues with it but I don't rely at all on the number symbols in my head (or on paper) to do arithmetic. I wouldn't be surprised if aphantasia get more subcategories in the following decades.
I think some of this comes down to the way the question is asked. If you asked me to imagine "a house", I would have a somewhat abstract, child-like template in mind. Some of that would be due to expectation -- that you probably will have me do something with respect to the _concept_ of a house, rather than asking details of it. If you asked me to picture, instead "a specific house, perhaps one on your street", then it would be a detailed image, and I could easily count the windows, give the colors of roof, siding, and trim, etc. But I suppose thinking about it now, I couldn't even in that case provide you with the number of rows of siding on the house. It's something I would imagine one could do with practice, but the brain seems to naturally drop some level of detail when recalling or imagining an object.
That seems silly to me. Talk about random thing, ask "No image at all/Dim and vague; flat/Moderately clear and lively/Clear and lively/Perfectly clear and lively as real seeing", average results. I mean... you could ask this once with prompt "How vivid is your visual imagery" and you will probably get the same result.
the first time i saw a steam table, I realized just how important it has been to us

Curious how you see it that way. I am a pretty empathetic person (maybe less so to strangers than friends), but I have limited (mostly by choice) filters, so sometimes I just want to make sure I’m not going to accidentally cross any boundaries. I think of it more like rehearsing lines for a play, but making tweaks to fit the intended scene.

You could also just do like we did for years and check the refer for the image request, and if it wasn't your web server you redirect the file to whatever you want, the end user has know what of knowing. and because the trick is done on the server side then viewing your source won't get around it.

This is the same method used to prevent hot linking to images back in the day.
Scott Morrison made a big deal of his intention to use the recent meetings between world leaders to build an international consensus around this issue.

Instead, he was humiliated when the president of France called him out as a liar over his mishandling of submarine contracts, and no one wanted to talk to him.
