Once there was an old engineer retiring from a company after working there for many years. He's their top notch guy and knew their system inside out. Couple months later the biggest machine in the company stopped working, costing the company millions in lost production. No one could fix it. In desperation the manager called the engineer to come in to take a look. The engineer looked around the machine for a few minutes. He put a chalk mark on the machine and told them to use a hammer to bang on it. They did and the machine was running again. The manager was very thankful and told the engineer to send in the bill for the repair. The engineer sent them a bill for $100,001.50. The manager called him and was upset for such a huge bill over a small repair. The engineer replied, $1.50 for the chalk and $100K for knowing where to bang the machine.

You sir are a knowledge worker. Companies pay you for your knowledge, your experience, and your ability to solve problems. They are willing to pay you to sit around so that they can call you to work on something at the moment's notice. People are willing to pay reserved instances in AWS though the reserved machines do nothing most of the time. It's called reserving capacity. Same in your case.
I imagine they might just be detached enough from reality to imagine that this would actually raise their image - doing something family-friendly or whatever.
To be fair to reddit, their combo of admin + community moderation has improved a lot in the past 5 years or so.

Remember /r/TheDonald? Or /r/jailbait? /r/coontown?

I mean, yes, it's a very low bar, but they deserve some commendation for making an effort that, I feel, paid off.

As far as being popped by journos, I feel like reddit has been on the radar for quite a while, and fared well under fire. Take /r/HermanCainAward, which got some pretty negative (and, I feel, misguided) press. The sub is not only still there, it's (quite sadly) thriving. (Sadly because nobody should receive that "award", but given quite a surplus of qualified recipients, something like that sub serves a purpose. Everyone there will be happy the day the sub stops being active because of lack of submissions, but alas, that day is yet to come).

So after catching flack, /r/HermanCainAward told people to cross out faces and names if they are not a public figure - and that seems to work fine with everyone. Like, the journos are not vultures: they picked on that sub, and the outcome was that it improved. When people are civil to each other, the journos don't a hot scathing article to print.

Getting popped by journos can be a good thing. Maybe some of them will write a hit piece on how waiting for 7 seconds for a text page to load is shameful in 2021.
You could write the above easily with a typewriter. The point isn't to use the most primitive method of writing possible. Rather, it's to acknowledge that writing on a computer has a certain set of drawbacks in addition to its benefits.
That's surprising because I came from Azure, and Google Cloud is way slower than Azure was. Frankly I think that's why I failed at the job (separate thread). It feels like a "me too" offering, and the initiative and creativity just isn't there, and I just couldn't be bothered to care. I felt so much more energy at Azure (even though they're the ones most often criticized as being "me too").

That said, it may have just been timing or team fit or seratonin levels or whatever. I'm sure plenty of others have had the opposite experience.
So Zuckerberg was like playing the ATL Falcons with Michael Vick and their 4-6 formation on Madden online? Cool thought.
Your statement is misleading at least.

In this short article nowhere said that Druid is faster than ClickHouse in 8 times. They claimed: "Druid is simply 2 times faster than ClickHouse" (actually by total runtime it's only 1.5 times faster)

There are also newer ClickHouse benchmark which total runtime = 0.779s
This is almost the same number as in Imply statement.

> The flaw is in thinking USPS is even slightly interested in innovating. They're not.

If the political system stops public sector organisations innovating, they won't innovate. See, for example, BT in the UK, who were looking into investing in fibre optic rollout in the 80s and 90s until Thatcher snuffed that idea out and we're only now starting to get fibre to the premises rolled out in significant numbers.

dplyr API is not ideal in my experience. Overly verbose and confusing group/melt/cast operators. I much much prefer data.table. In your edit you mention concision, data.table is practically the platonic ideal of that!
Have you ever tried to connect an IBM mainframe to an HP Non-Stop (Tandem) mainframe? Some developer figured out a way to do it without spending millions on new mainframe software. The key piece of the kludge was a windows interface to the IBM RPC service that both had a USB dongle and wouldn't run on anything newer than Windows 2000.

This was something she had done as a maintenance request and no one else really knew anything about it, until it failed 10 years later. The server people did ask everyone who should know about the PC, so it wasn't just a plug pull.

Editorial note on the title:

1. Yahoo the company is capitalized.

2. HN puts the source of a link after the title anyway [as in (yahoo.com)]

3. Thus when I skimmed the title I thought it said

Where did you get the idea that monoclonal antibodies aren't highly effective? Do you have any data to back this up? They are an FDA approved, clinically proven first-line treatment for anyone with symptoms showing them at risk of hospitalization.

Your statement is misinformation, scientifically inaccurate, and irresponsible. You are painting a scientifically proven and life-saving therapuetic as "not highly effective" when the data shows it absolutely is.

Here's a quote from a peer reviewed study in a little blog called the New England Journal of Medicine. Maybe you've heard of it?

"A total of 3 of 291 patients in the sotrovimab group (1%), as compared with 21 of 292 patients in the placebo group (7%), had disease progression leading to hospitalization (for >24 hours) for any cause or death (relative risk reduction, 85%; 97.24% confidence interval [CI], 44 to 96; P=0.002) (Table 2). The primary reasons for the 24 hospitalizations were consistent with progressive Covid-19 (Table 3), with one probable exception: 1 patient in the sotrovimab group who had a notable medical history of small-intestinal obstruction presented 22 days after infusion with a small-intestinal obstruction."

Hope you will stop spreading misinformation. It's not acceptable when people shit on the vaccines due to their right wing partisan echo chamber induced ignorance, and it's not helpful when people shit on effective treatments due to their left wing partisan echo chamber induced ignorance.
> Doing just as much work as your employer requires and no more

Do you also think that it's acceptable for an employer to only do as much for its employees as is required by law, and no more?
I’m not sure why I should be thinking about whether my last active window was in the same or different app.

In windows it doesn’t matter whether I switched from a Chrome window to a Firefox window or from one Firefox window to another one.

The cognitive load is way less.

Also, CMD+’ is way more ergonomically inconvenient to hit.
Yeah and what makes you think NATO in Europe is any different? They still under spend. I'm not a supporter of Russian aggression but the reality is Europe is a joke when it comes to NATO. The only folks today that are fighting for Western Ideals are the Ukrainians and the German cucks block any support anyone wants to give them.

I agree that 10 hours per week is rather extreme, but I have been in similar situations. The difference is I tent to say something because boredom gets old. I see less confrontational people say stuff that everyone knows is BS, and then just add the aside about being available if something is more important/useful/pressing.

In the most extreme version of that I once had absolutely nothing to do for months at a time and my manager was completely aware of that fact. Their response, “Look you’re fully billable so if the client is happy I am happy.”
"Meritocracy does exist and does work, except where it is undermined (i.e. "Equity"

You really pick 'equity' as the example? I get thats it fashionable to hate on woke politics around these parts, but aren't your forgeting that most of the world is more like Russia, i.e. jungle, where stongest rules because they can, with mirderous intent.

I mean if you are talking about principles of life, its got to be universal, not just applying in a handfull of fortunate countries.

The principles of we go by, they are in conflict with one another.

While it probably doesnt help for in person playing there are Discord/reddit communities for pretty much any game under the sun that have "Looking For Game" sections.

For less Covid times I've had reasonable luck meeting gaming groups on meetup.com or your friendly local gaming shop. You might have some luck there.
I do much more than 8 hours a day of actual work, but more and more, most of that is work that I think is important.

I could hammer out features all day and get a lot done for a little bit, but I’d burn out in a few weeks.

I honestly don’t mind people putting in only 10 hours a week as long as the quality is good. What I hate is people shipping 40+ hours a week of garbage.
It seems from the comments on the video that your joke has actually been the case for a few people. Sometimes what's needed is a new perspective and a "worthless platitude".
Drink more. Or whatever intoxicant works best to make you give less fucks and is least likely to drag you into a downward spiral of addiction.

This constant worry may also be a symptom of some kind of anxiety disorder, which has its own calvacade of legal psychoactive chemicals with their own sets of side effects and problems you could look into getting someone to prescribe to you.
Huh, why were you flagged? I "vouched".

Anyways that's interesting. I actually did a personal study during the course of 1-2 weeks a couple of years ago. I kept track of how long I felt like I could give my undivided focus to my work and found that the number was 5.5 hours on average. People will be different of course, but that's as long as I felt I'd feel good claiming to have given it 100%.

Given that I had to work 8 hours in practice it felt like a bad strategy to give it 100% for 5.5 hours and then whatever (60%?) for the remaining 2.5, so instead I "diluted" that focus intensity throughout the day.

You make a good point about the diminishing returns! It sounds reasonable to me that it would likely be better to do 1 hours the next day instead of continuing by creating a mess on the remaining 2.5.

It's hard to measure, but from personal experience I'd say that it'd be worth more (given all externalities) to pay me for 100% focus over 5.5 hours compared to [whatever%] over 8.

I'll take the male/female angle because that's less loaded than the racial angle.

Men commit more crimes than women. They just do. That's reality, not a sign of gender bias in the reporting.
> another consumes much less entropy

To the extent that it could mean something to "consume" entropy from the random device they're both outputting the same size of password and so they're consuming roughly the same amount of entropy. Assuming the random device works as intended this would be a distinction that makes no difference anyway.

> a binary that I might not have on some computers

A binary that's included in the Linux Standard Base. Which computers don't you have it on?

> this could be hundreds of kilobytes of extra code

More like a few dozen kilobytes, although of course on tiny Linux systems it's bundled into something like busybox so much less.

> Division with a remainder is most likely something you already have in your standard library regardless of whether you use it or not.

The shell, which is what pass is written for, does have division with a remainder, but it cannot do this operation on 96-bit integers. So now you've added another constraint "rewrite this software in a language which has 96-bit integers, or more if longer passwords are allowed" [Hint: Longer passwords are very much allowed in pass]

So far what you've achieved is to show that this is trickier than you thought, yet produces worse results. Again, this is why I like what Jason did here.
I think some of the advice here is quite good, but especially given the title of your question, someone has to point out that there's literally a book on the subject called "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living," by Dale Carnegie.

It's a good book. It probably won't solve all your problems without you needing to do some inner work, and I generally recommend meditation as a way to find peace, but also you should read the book since it directly answers your question :)
In Julia there's something better, called Tables.jl. It's not exactly an API for dataframes (what would be point the of that? You don't need many implementations of dataframes, you just need one great one). Instead it's an API for table-shaped data. Dataframes are containers for table-shaped data.
You sound like you have General Anxiety Disorder, something that many people have. You should talk to a therapist that specializes in anxiety, and she can guide you in ways to figure out why you are feeling this way and coping mechanisms to help you get past it. And if need be, anti-anxiety medication could be prescribed by a doctor.
Wait.. so python takes several seconds to simply count from 0 to 9 million?
It's tempting to say something sarcastic like "If you want tidy stories, stick to fairy tales," but that would be unnecessarily sarcastic.

There's a little more that goes into well-written novels than following strictly-defined plot conventions.

I'd say, if a reader reacts that strongly to unconventional narrative structures, they might be a bit more invested in the story than they think? Which tends to be a sign of effective writing.
> exercise

The exercise answer is really tiring. It became a universal remedy

If we analyze what OP is saying we can rapidly see what he wants.

Essentially he wants a long life where he gets to delay death as much as possible, live to 100 as a very rich person so he'd avoid missing out on things , stress free, and with the minimum amount of personal tragedies.

All the amount of exercise in the world won't magically summon all the luck that it's necessary to be in the 0.000000001% who can claim to be fortunate enough to satisfy all the requirements set by OP.

When the brain wants all the above and you throw at it a 20mi run...well let's say that if the brain was a person it'd look back at you and say something like :

"Do I look like an idiot? Give me what I want , not this BS run or else I'm gonna make you miserable and no amount of running will change that"

There's actually a good book by Dale Carnegie with the same title that has some great advice. It's called "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living" and the audiobook is available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7VBziVvJNY

My favorite tip from the book was to think of the worst case outcome of whatever is stressing you out and to realize that in the grand scheme of things it's probably not that bad.
> There's organizational psych research going back decades showing that teams who work 40-hour weeks will quickly outperform teams working 60 hrs / week.

I feel like this has less to do with the amount of hours worked and more with the kind of organisation/manager that would have their employees actually working 40 hour weeks.
same, and i feel dirty asking about it because if you don't have ADHD you're basically just asking about getting speed
> And the D&D Beyond software is clearly a first attempt at an Apple App Store style walled garden from which to extract rent forever and ever.

Second attempt, actually. WOTC had a monthly-subscription webapp offering in the 4th Edition era, with (digital) subscriptions to the magazines, a character builder, and promises of a virtual tabletop that AFAIK never shipped.
> It's a good idea. The flaw is in thinking USPS is even slightly interested in innovating. They're not.

That's because it has been a target of right-wing attack for decades starting with the republican-led 2006 bill that effectively bankrupted it overnight by requiring a massive 50 years of health benefits to be funded.[1]

So when you have a service (not a business) that is constantly being picked apart and hamstrung from completing its most basic functions, you can't possibly blame them for not innovating. Well you can, but it is not in good faith.

How about taking an everlasting perspective? Ancient wisdom provides us with a healthy perspective on how irreversible all the motion of the cosmos is. And our place in it can be significant in relation to it by informing it with motion which continues on its endless flow.

Point being: create art, which obligates one to develop an inner-confidence in one's own truth. That sense of irrevocable pride can provide one with a sense of certainty in the outcome of one's fate in life. Oh, and it will make one feel good in the process. Because art requires a communal, social, outreach in order for it to create a positive response in other people's lives, their own hidden truths which have just as much significance as yours and are being impacted by a world which is otherwise imperceptible to them - namely your own. :)
Yes. It would be short-sighted to dismiss them out of hand, and it's possible that generics will provide a level of expressiveness and readability I haven't anticipated yet. I'm fairly bearish on it for now.
Should be easy enough to track hand proximity to sensitive areas and issue an auto ban. Hopefully permanent.
Maybe be more specific in what you're referring to?
Malnutrition with seniors is a gateway to many other medical issues. Current guidelines teach seniors to eat the protein and high calorie foods first (even dessert first) before hitting the vegetables. This result is consistent with the current body of knowledge.
It gets better with practice as you develop more accurate intuition. Eventually, most new ideas that you try will work, but it takes a lot of failures to get to that level.
Survivorship bias may also be a factor
Do you take care of your body? Exercise and diet are critical for emotional well being.
The benchmarks speak volumes of dishonesty.

They sorted the results by speed of 1st run. For a language like Julia, which is JIT-compiled, that's not a fair comparison, considering that you compile once and run millions of times.

Note also that Julia would be number 1 in almost all of those benchmarks if you were to rank by speed of second run (as expected...). It's funny because once you notice it those benchmarks are basically an ad for Julia.

EDIT: Also..... lets think critically about some of the entries there. Most of them are languages, but then you have things like Arrow, which is a data format, Spark, which is an engine, ClickHouse and DuckDB are databases. The databases (and spark) will have to read from disk. They have no chance of competing with anything that's reading from ram, no matter how slow it is. They were built for different purposes. These are borderline meaningless comparisons.
whoa! such a simple and obvious thing but actually has affected me a lot... I sink..
Corporate isn't really trying to turn owners into renters. Instead they intend to be the owners :)

Also anarchists never claimed ownership was theft, they claimed that owning something you're not using is theft.
I'm thinking about becoming a data hoarder. One of my favorite hobbies is listening to music on YouTube and reading people's comments about how that song was important in some moment of their lives. Most of the videos are unofficial, since the official ones have comments turned off. From time to time, one of these music videos gets dmca'd and sadly the comments are all lost.

Yes! I was about to say that this is the actual title of a very popular Dale Carnegie book, and having also read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" (a true classic), I think the advice is timeless!

It comes down to not worrying about things that are not in your control, focusing on the aspects of life that provide real meaning and enjoyment, and surrounding yourself with people who make you your best self. Among other things.

Yes, it's a book nearing on 80 years old but the advice is solid and timeless, even in these frenetic days.
> NBC News and The Washington Post both accessed an internal chart from Facebook that showed the top three derogatory terms its automated systems removed in the month of June were “white trash,” “cracker” and a gay slur. Meanwhile, hate speech against Blacks, Jews and transgender people was reportedly taken down less frequently.

This seems rather vague. That chart presumably was measuring individual instances of hate speech on the platform. That means that a plausible explanation is simply that there are more instances of "white trash", "cracker" and a gay slur, than hate speech against blacks, Jews, and transgender people. Or perhaps that the former is more reported than the later. Either way, that hardly seems like a Facebook policy failure.

I also make a special note of the cultural shift to slide gays in with whites and poor whites in the text. Their position now replaced in print with transgender people.

shrug I suppose we'll all just muddle through.
