Pluralsight is really good for beginner tutorials (C#, functional programming, Swift, iOS). They have someone who has experience and thought it through. The money is worth it for a filter. However, it's lacking in intermediate level tutorials and some are outdated.

Udacity is great at learning Android from a holistic level and some of the tutorials are free, by Google.
Generally I believe in engineering tradeoffs but I think some tests are always important. Even with MVPs. Writing test might double your time to market, but they will allow you to move faster and make less regressions once in production. The early days are some of the least stable features wise and having tests in place to verify things when massively changing a codebase is nice. Also, it can greatly help add confidence to newcomers who don't know the codebase.

Australians love to hype their voting system, not knowing or caring to know it too is fraught with problems, just like this proposed one probably is.

“ Here we not only go beyond Bohr’s complementarity by entangling a living system to two superconducting quantum bits, but we also expose an additional twist in areas where quantum physics, chemistry and biology all overlap. Namely, the living system we study is a tardigrade which is capable of suspending its living functions for an indefinite amount of time if the external conditions are deemed to be adverse enough for survival [2]. In that sense, and this is a point that Bohr certainly missed, it is possible to do a quantum and hence a chemical study of a system, without destroying its ability to function biologically.”

I would argue that it isn’t living when it’s at mK temperatures, but that it is frozen/dead but revivable (like the children who have fallen recently off of bridges in to frozen rivers and been revived hours later).

Life is amazing.

Just be very careful with this stuff and make sure to talk to a psychiatrist that knows what they are doing. I've seen a few people get prescribed benzodiazepines for anxiety related issues from general practitioners who didn't know what they were doing and the results were vastly worse than if nothing had been done. A tolerance can very quickly be built in which this class of drugs become vastly less effective and the withdrawals in particular were especially brutal. A public case of this was seen recently with Jordan Peterson lately and it shows just how serious this matter is (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ktjZhih3LQ for an example of how serious the health consequences are).

Whatever you do just make sure you are informed, psychoactive drugs are a serious matter.

It was. The post-war conditions, with the cooperation of American occupying forces, made Japan scramble to reinvent itself from a militaristic industrial power(from the Meiji period until 1945) into a consumer corporate economy with strong export businesses, and it did so in a top-down collective fashion - which has made external observers remark things to the effect of "it seems like Japan is stuck in the 1950's", since the model remained in place, everything in lock-step, for decades. This can be studied through the history of the major companies that emerged from that period like the auto manufacturers(Toyota, Honda) and electronics companies(Casio, Philips, Sony, Roland and more). This culture is also reflected in more detail through prominent figures in the boom generation that came of age in the 70s, e.g. Hayao Miyazaki(animation) and Shigeru Miyamoto(games) - both extremely driven, fastidious types.

The model worked and created the "economic miracle", but it also set the stage for an enormous property bubble in the 80s. I recommend reading "Japan, inc." to get a sense of the bubble period in the form of a manga focused on finance and economics. Ever since the bubble burst, Japan could be described as "unmotivated" - a combination of being chained to the structure of existing institutions and seeing demographic declines set in earlier than other nations. While the country is still known for a fastidious corporate culture, the demographics are catching up with it now and suggest what things will look like in countries facing population decline going forward.

IMHO, the concept might be more intuitively named "square-root voting" :-)

It's very interesting to note that the vote count scales/renormalizes with the population in analogy with the law of large numbers [1]. I wonder whether that would imply pathologies in cases with strongly correlated preferences, as opposed to randomly generated weak/uncorrelated preferences.

Is this really a thing though? It's a small group of ungrounded people and con artists trying to make money with absurdities like you mention, rather than a widespread phenomenon. Multiverse theory was "woo" until it wasn't. The problem is not with these uneducated fools, but rather with the "woo" category being overly broad and preventing any alternative theories from being posited. Scientists with valid credentials and a body of work are getting bucketed in the "woo" category because their ideas don't fit the prevailing model.
In my experience the "this is so small it doesn't need a code review" changes are more often the ones that blow things up.
> Arrow's impossibility theorem

Ah, that's it, thanks, I was looking for it but forgot what it was called. There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_paradox (and any number of other ones that may or may not even have names)
Regardless, the comparison here is pretty meaningless. There is simply nothing else for these people to invest in.
Arrows impossibility theorem only proves things about voting systems where the method of voting is simply ranking the candidates in an order, so it doesn't actually apply to this quadratic voting system.

Does anyone happen to know if an analogous theorem does apply to this quadratic voting system?
I am focused 8 - 9 hours a day which I track with a time clock app. I don’t chit chat, read Reddit, or do personal stuff. Outside that, I don’t do any work. No evenings or weekends. I have no work apps on my phone. I expect about the same (or maybe 7-8 hrs) of my direct reports, and I would be surprised to learn the aren’t.

I am disappointed to see so many folks here do so little work, mostly because it means I am accepting insufficient pay for the amount of work I do.
Sort of a big philosophical question in quantum physics is what would be the experience of an entangled consciousness being (say, a human).

However if you have to freeze the human to a complete metabolic halt (to achieve coherence), then it seems that it wouldn't be able to experience anything at all? And if you don't freeze the human, then it would be impossible to entangle it with an external system?

Then, I guess one could argue that you could build a more thermally efficient system (say an AGI) that can experience and tell us about what it feels like to be entangled. But in order for it to experience/think, it would need to do some computation, so is subject to the Landauer's limit, and would need to release heat, which will also break the coherence? Has anyone done this kind of calculation?
20% of millionaires inherited money. The other 80% did not inherit it-- they made it.

That's the result of financial education.

There are many people with high incomes (and low incomes) who live in debt. A tiny sliver are in debt due to medical issues, natural disaster, etc. The vast majority simply have made poor financial decisions.

Race has nothing to do with this-- financial education can benefit everyone. Period. Full stop.

It's the key to better living. And it should be made available to everyone.

The web is full of people shouting "_____ filesytem doesn't get fragmented!"

Apparently they've never let a filesystem get above 70% full or so, especially one on a fileserver that has seen years of daily use by a dozen+ people.

I've heard it for HFS, HFS+, XFS, ext3, ext4, etc and every time it was an lie. Every filesystem fragments after regular use unless you have a fuckton of free space.

It's pretty hard to justify to one's bosses over-provisioning disk space to enough of a degree to render fragmentation unlikely, and users just expand their data to fit it anyway.
What does this do that iStat Menus' battery menu doesn't do? (https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/)

iStat Menus costs $1 more than this, and gives you "detailed info on your battery’s current state and a highly configurable menu item that can change if you’re draining, charging, or completely charged. Plus, battery levels for AirPods, Magic Mouse, Magic Trackpad and other devices." (copied from their page), as well as giving you menus for several other things you might want to monitor (fans/temperature, date/time/calendar, CPU/memory/disc usage, and the weather).

The only unique thing I can see that this does is put stuff in the touchbar.

While we are making broad generalizations, the problem with people who shame "them" (whomever you think "they" are) is that everything is binary, it's either the prevailing theory, or it's insane idiocy. There's no room in between, so even if you are scientist who put in good work but diverge a bit from the mainstream you get labeled as "woo". Labels are horrible lazy tools is my point. Just address the assertion itself.
The comparison was originally EGT for turbocharged engines vs non-turbocharged engines.

Yes, the temps right out of the head are higher before the turbine vs after for sure, but temperatures going into the cat converter are still generally higher in a turbocharged application compared to an aspirated engine.

As someone who switched majors and became programmer, I experienced a great example of this when I first started programming.

Starting out, if I spent a whole day thinking over a problem or writing code that I ultimately had to scrap, I would tell people I got nothing done that day and it was a waste.

Now if I do that, I see if as the necessary troubleshooting that all must go through to solve the problem.

As a Brit that now lives in Australia, from what I can tell the voting is just better here. With preferential voting you (hopefully) end up with more of a consensus for the winner, rather than purely a representative of the largest minority as with FPTP.

You deserve some credit for raising the question, but in some sense I'm not sure what you'd expect?

I don't mean that in a hostile way, I just mean that the overlap between reality and good ideas is very low almost by necessity? This is why we have science, after all.

In fact, I think the idea that people who stumble on things that work somehow do so because they're smarter or more talented than those who don't is somewhat dangerous. Certainly, bad ideas are bad. But at some point you reach a set of ideas that are all equally probable given existing information, and you're literally at the mercy of luck, almost by definition. Maybe there's some bit of information here or there that can tilt the scales one way or another, and maybe some are better at that than others, or just have access to additional information through experience or resources, but at some point you are just left with the need for raw experimentation.

I think the only way to do this really is through as much information as possible, which is why I think transparency in data is key -- so you can make use of what others have done already as much as possible.

Maybe there's some way of bootstrapping to a sort of meta-modeling? What I mean is, maybe you can develop a model/AI system that learns how to learn and becomes sort of auto-developing, but it seems like we're not quite there yet.

Range voting and approval voting aren't subject to anything similar, according to William Poundstone's book Gaming the Vote. If that's correct then I'd think quadratic voting is the same.

Optimizations on the consoles involve things like adjusting memory access patterns, using gpu-specific intrinsics and hardware specific latency info etc to tune the game engine. It's likely the same with Steam Deck.

There are a lot of generation specific optimizations that are often even exposed on PC but don't make it into any games because games don't often optimize for each specific generation of hardware (unless it's something particularly notable like DLSS/RT). This, I have noticed, is especially common on AMD recently, where some optimizations are very useful on consoles and eventually exposed on PC too, but never actually used there because of their issues until this latest generation.

Valve has probably worked to integrate those into Godot, there's also the consideration for power management, perhaps Valve has exposed additional APIs to make it easier for games to exchange information regarding power availability etc, so while most games just run as if they were running on a PC, there's the possibility for the game to also be Steam Deck aware/optimized.
