That's a loaded question. CSS frameworks (or tables, or div based designs) are also used because they save time when iterating, not because of a lack of expertise.

This is essentially lucid dream induction. Lucid dreaming is when you become conscious that you're dreaming while dreaming... and once you are consciously dreaming you can direct the dream actively rather than experiencing it passively. This can happen spontaneously during sleep, or it can be induced with techniques such as what you're describing.
Communism != Marxism.
On the contrary, both in anarchist and marxist philosophy communism is defined as a society without State and social classes. While anarchists believe (and practice!) in dismantling the established social order here and now by systematically questioning power structures, marxist-leninists promoted the idea that building a "dictatorship of the proletariat" was a necessary step for a revolution to seize the repression means of the bourgeois State to make sure to go towards communism. This disagreement is what led to the fork of the 1st Internationale in the late 19th century.

As history has shown, reestablishing the old forms of power (centralized State, political police, prisons, work) for the sake of the revolution didn't help to achieve any communism ever (USSR was profoundly anti-communist beyond the appearances: the secret police fought against all self-organized communes like Cronstadt or the peasant soviets of Ukraine). That's why anarchists to this day refer to marxism-leninism (what capitalists call "communism") as State-capitalism: it has the same structures and power balance than capitalism, with the difference that power is held not by the bourgeoisie but by a so-called avant-garde. But for the common people, the situation is very similar, as the promised Stateless/classless society is nowhere to be seen.

> This combination of human+engine is consistently stronger than the strongest chess engines on their own.

This was true when computers where approach/just met the strength of the best humans.

I'm not aware anyone has done it seriously recently and at this point the computers are so insanely strong relative to a human I think the human would just be along for the ride.

> Kropotkin was thus both an anarchist and a communist and was cordial and cooperated with authoritarian communists.

Cordial yes. But he was not "friendly" and did not "cooperate". Famously, Kropotkin could not be hurt by Lenin as he was a very popular figure and hurting him would have strongly destabilized his power. So he tried to bribe him with public money, which Kropotkin refused because it was handed out as a privilege for him specifically and not a fundamental right for all. So he ended up dying in misery in a small cabin in the woods.

Emma Goldman's autobiography contains some accounts of this story.
Because it is usually impossible to remember all possible permutations of a chess board, I disagree.

Humans handle large data set with a cheat by using creativity and predictive reasoning to avoid having to store EVERY piece of data we encounter. Inference is a large part of this. Most models I'm aware of consider these traits to be related to intelligence.
This ^^ a million times this.

I genuinely wonder if people in the US see countries like the UK, Australia, Germany, etc as being "partners" in some kind of relationship of equals? Whereas, from the other side of the telescope it genuinely feels like living in a vassal state "They say jump. We say 'how high?'"

There may be as yet undiscovered tribes in the midst of the Amazonian jungle who were surprised by this decision. But, in the UK, we all knew that, once the US "demanded" the UK would bend over and lube up... after the usual bit of judicial theatre, to make it all appear above board, of course.
Clicker games are basically just core essential game mechanics. If you are new to game design and programming and wish to make a game I recommend making a clicker game. When you master game design you can basically make any "game engine" fun. There are many great programmers and artists that make advanced game engines but they do not master game design.
>And I’m also surprised that all the ‘good’ packets are 70-80ms latency (assuming those pings are from the CO to you and your neighbors houses). That seems pretty bad for a 1Gb/s Ethernet connection IMO.

That is really, really bad for fiber. Optical is effectively latency free because the distance is so short (from light's perspective). They should be seeing low single digit to the teens from the ONT to the OLT. If you ping Google it should be similar (low teens is normal on my setup).

Kasparov states this well in an interview.

You can't compare the best in a given era because the players now learnt from the players in that era i.e. Carlsen grew up studying Kasparovs games so it's simply a flawed comparison.

Instead he suggests a metric of "how far ahead of the field" they where, So Morphy and Fischer do really well on that metric, Kasparov does as well, Lasker and most of the other greats.

Fischer was unique in so many ways but late 1980's Kasparov would have crushed him.

Carlsen may be the only player to have a reasonable claim to be his equal.
It's easy to imagine a chain of changes, starting from innocuous string substitution with static strings in the code base and gradually building up to downright exploitable network access and multiple substitutions, all based on the previous changes as precedent (we already do substitutions, this is just one more).

That's not to say it shouldn't have been obvious, but string substitution using functions can have non-obvious impacts as functions call functions which are then modified later by someone else to do crazy things like network calls or parsing code for the sake of convenience.

You see the same in say rails templates which might fire off dozens of expensive sql queries to a database and without changing the template but just changing one of those methods on a model the entire performance profile can change - nobody is to blame exactly, but the entire system makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot.
If you want to go into management, then why do you waste 10+ years going from junior to senior to principal and so on until you finally get to manage your first small team? The people who went for management from the start would be way ahead of you then, no?

Because you end up being much more effective if you know what you are doing?

Managing a team of developers without any idea how to do the work is a disaster.

Of course, having some experience doesn’t guarantee you’ll be an effective manager, but without it you’re almost guaranteed to fail.
He went further, arguing that mutual aid is the practice/axiom that enabled most societies (human or otherwise) to survive and evolve thus far.
Not having knowledge of the context should work in the new persons favor. They don't know how the app was developed, or what everyone else thinks about it, but can immediately recognize that it is crap and dares to say so. Bravery and honesty are traits to be cherished. And in your example, the app is crap is a true statement. So it still seem to me to be more about in-group/out-group psychology, the workplace's pecking order, and fragile bruised egos than anything else.
This is just not true for Terraform at all, they do not aim to be multi cloud and it is a much more usable product because of it. Resource parameters do not swap out directly across providers (rightly so, the abstractions they choose are different!).
This is invaluable for learning new syntax.
An old notebook (PC) when i was about 11. I learned programming in Turbo Pascal and Delphi on it. Had to install Delphi through an LPT connection to the family PC because it "only" had a floppy drive (and also lacked a network card) and Borland Delphi came on CD. To this day, I am amazed that this was possible with Win95 at all (although it took multiple hours).

Well, at least that's qualifying for "best" by impact :)

Scala is an amazing language I love writing software in. The tools it offers to model business domains, the power of expressive types make it next-to-none when it comes to shape, remodel and refactor code.

Then there's the ecosystem. Sure, you have the whole of the Java ecosystem, but then there are also tons and tons of Scala libraries that are so well designed (Quick shout-out to Lihaoyi here; your libraries are amazing!) and work together so well is astounding.

I was very worried with the migration path to Scala 3 but that turned to be out pretty much painless. Scala-2.13-backward-compatiblity is amazing and together with scalafix the transition is as smooth as anyone could reasonably expect.

Anyone getting into Scala or worried about complexity with Scala should have a good look at https://www.handsonscala.com/
The docs themselves are weirdly written:

> The session begins with an assignment of the string ‘hello’ to the variable A. A is the variable; gets is the assign action; the string ‘hello’ ( a list of characters) is the expression.

The most egregious part about this rambling mess is that "gets" is not in the example.
That's amusing because a game like Deadly Premonition managed to pull that off in a decently convincing way. We're not talking about hundreds or thousands of NPCs, of course, but everyone had a daily routine that they went about and the various places in town had opening hours. Most of the story would only progress if you were in the right place at the right time.

Not the most polished game but easily the best murder mystery and Twin Peaks style life sim I've ever played.

So if CDPR couldn't pull it off, they must have been asked to do it at an unreasonable scale or the requirements themselves were unreasonable.
Don't know about pilots, but I'd think doctors and actors are near the extreme ends of the age discrimination spectrum. Ie. being an old doctor makes you credible, being an old actor (or especially actress) severely impinges on your options and expectations. Being an old developer is probably somewhere in between.

In principle i agree, yet there is a distinction to make. There are anti-authoritarian marxists who argue that by the end of his life Marx himself had become critical of his own theories (eg. dictatorship of the proletariat).

But yes, we'll agree that the most widely-known brand of marxism is in fact the very opposite of communism (as defined by a Stateless/classless society).

A good alternative to get airplay working is to get a cheap used Airport Express second generation. Use or borrow an iPhone to configure it, and you can set it up to just act as an Airplay receiver. The airport express can connect via Ethernet and outputs either over analog audio or via mini-TOSLINK. It also has the advantage of being able to use Airplay 2.

That's odd about the choppiness of shairport-sync; my setup is an old thin client running archlinux and shairport-sync. I have it hooked up via Ethernet and connected to my receiver with a cheap AliExpress USB>SPDIF adapter. I have shairport-sync configured to use ALSA directly. I've never had any issues with this setup.
I started to realize that, I've been depressed and anxious for so long that i don't know how to function in my daily life.

No, the OP claim "we do not assign any moral value to decreasing the well-being of those who are better off" is different from your claim "0 weight on those who are "better off", leaving all the weight for those with the lowest utility".

The former is a way, albeit too compressed by OP, to distinguish prioritarianism from the kind of egalitarian view where interpersonal relative differences affects the value of increasing/decreasing one individual's well-being, which makes egalitarianism the target of the so called levelling down critique. See Parfit's article that OP discusses for more on that distinction and critique.

Prioritarianism does not give 0 weight or value on increasing the well-being of those who are already better off - on the contrary a distinctive feature of prioritarianism is that increasing someone's well-being always has some value. It is only how much value that varies with the absolute level the increase starts from. In jargon the most prominent version of the prioritarian social welfare function is continuous, strictly increasing and strictly concave. In contrast a leximin SWF (sometimes called "rawlsian" because of some points of similarity with the features of one component, the difference principle, in Rawls systematic theory of justice) gives absolute lexical priority to increasing the worst-off positions well-being.

All this said, perhaps there is a way to relax or modify leximin SWF so as to make it functionally equivalent to a prioritarian SWF, but I'm not familiar with anyone doing so (happy to learn if you have a reference though!) and, regardless, to call that rawlsian would be unfair to Rawls since he definitely did not propose or argue for such a view in any of his texts on political philosophy and the view he did argue for is definitely incompatible with it.
Large companies have a fairly rigid process with strict rubrics for interviewers. In general the goal as I see it is to remove as much individual decision making as possible. Doesn't stop these issues as the comments here show.

You also then encode a single group's biases (the rubric) rather than a mix of everyone's biases. In my experience that doesn't actually make things better overall just slightly more consistently bad.

I've never understood distutils or setup.py anyway. I can count the times I did `setup.py install` on two fingers, and was not satisfied with the result in both cases. (Where does it end up? How do I uninstall it?)

For simple packages, it is enough to copy them into the pythonpath. Usually you would use virtualenv + pip. I would never want to install a python package globally (unless it is some kind of meta tool like pip). If you have binary components, maybe there is a use case for the distutils machinery, but even then a makefile would probably be better.

The only thing missing for me would be something like a python GAC (global assembly cache). Let pip install all modules into somewhere like ~/.pythonmodules/mymodule/v1.0.1, and then resolve it at import time (either by a line in requirements.txt, or a new syntax `import django == 4.0`). I believe go moved to such a scheme some time ago.
I get this too. While awake, the sounds I hear on my own mind are just basically the signs I could make with my own voice. I can imagine a song by imagining humming or singing it, but I cannot recall what the actual recording sounds like. Yet there's that switch that flips as I go to sleep that I notice occasionally where I can hear crystal clear music. It's beautiful and I can't recognize the music.

I also get this, much more rarely, with images. While awake, I can't truly picture what I imagine, it's like I just have a notion of what is there, like motion and shape, without really seeing it, or at best a momentary flash of a picture. But when drifting to sleep there is a moment where the images become real, with color and texture and detail far beyond what I can imagine while awake. It's shocking and wakes we up when I notice it happening.

What is this switch? How can my brain have such discretely distinct modes of operation? Falling asleep itself seems so much more of a continuum.
That's explains the sluggishness...thanks for the insight ;)
I'm a patzer, I hover around 1600-1700 elo and I'd seen c5 and ruled it out as losing becuase it traps the bishop, when he played it was I like "oh, I guess it doesn't and I missed something".

That was an unusual feeling because normally I can only get a hint of what they are doing by loading the PGN into an engine interface and playing through the game trying out variations against the engine.

As the author says, this is what I love and hate about GTAV.

I just wanted a game where I could drive around, listen to amazing music, enjoy the incredible sights. A pure relaxation experience.

In GTA:SA, this was possible. You could drive to the desert, get in your Rustler and fly towards the sun with America's Horse with No Name taking you on your spiritual journey.

In GTAV they removed this aspect. Yes the game looks amazing, but every interaction you have in the game forces you to be destructive, and all the NPC's react badly to you regardless of how you act to them. Its a deeply stressful and toxic game, and the online community is even more so.
AFAIK, medicine is a special profession in that the practitioners are often interest owners.
Why do I want to *persuade* the other person that I'm listening? I might not be and therefore go down a road I don't find relevant to me. Honest signalling would allow the other person to course correct.
Indeed. Also, you have plenty of time do to both. Start as an engineer at 22, write code for 15 years. Switch to management at 37. That still leaves you with 15+ years to climb the career ladder.
