Yep, while it can be frustrating to be in the small percentage of people who are able to evaluate the validity of research, it's totally understandable why doctors are dismissive given how much rubbish is flowing around that people come up with.

Often it just requires a bit of pushing if it's a simple diagnostic test. "Can we just do this blood test to completely rule out [x]?". I remember about a decade ago my father was getting this extremely bad dermatitis on his elbows for years, and mum had researched and found coeliac (celiac) disease could cause that as a symptom. The GP was prescribing steroid creams, and they really had to push him to do a blood test to check for those antibodies. He thought it was dumb but gave in just to shut them up! Came back positive, next step was an endoscopy, which showed massive inflammation in the small intestine. Dad cut gluten out of his diet and over the next year the dermatitis and intestinal inflammation disappeared.
WHO approves Novavax vaccine for emergency use against Covid-19
So really it is hard not to be snarky about your comment on the terribly harming side effects on the guy that is about to be dead.
The exception being the issue is true for many diseases. On a large scale, the exception can add up to thousands of people. Take polio, the great fear of yesterday;

> Up to 95 percent of people infected with polio have no symptoms. However, infected persons without symptoms can still spread the virus and cause others to develop polio. About four to five percent of infected people have minor symptoms such as fever, muscle weakness, headache, nausea and vomiting. One to two percent of infected persons develop severe muscle pain and stiffness in the neck and back. Less than one percent of polio cases result in paralysis.*

Despite most cases being harmless, polio was considered a huge public health issue worldwide. The small percentage of cases that developed paralysis added up, essentially becoming a roulette for the majority of children. This is because it was still transmitted easily and rapidly, so it spread through millions of people quickly.

Covid can be seen similarly. Yes most people are fine. The same way that most people that get into car accidents are fine. And yet I don't think it'd be a stretch to say most people probably know at least one person that has suffered serious health complications due to covid

Piracy is the only way to disarm this immoral system where all the "legal" alternatives are basic assaults on our consumer rights that leaves us with no real good ethical choice,
I wouldn't read too much into what `zig fmt` means in terms of what is supposed to be idiomatic. Like many things in zig land, `zig fmt` isn't really mature yet - e.g. it still mis-formats things like long expression chains among other things. They are still planning to do a polish pass over all of these DX-related aspects of the project (fmt, stdlib). I'd expect this bikeshed to resurrect in full force once they start looking into zig fmt more seriously.
If everybody will be a billionaire in the future, sure, carbon emissions will be out of sight, but at least we solved the inequality problem, right?
We have had potential employers who wanted employee data back to them and our answer has been a flat out no to them.

We have also had legal consultation on this due to the continuous pressure and can confirm it is not legally required to share your data to the employer at-least in the EU.

Question: With all the industry wide bad practices, how do we convince you that we don't share your data with your employer?
Found the interview: [1]

> The thing is that this is not a good design (the 555). I had a few years of experience, I’d say about five years, but I had no teacher, and I had to learn it by myself.

> You know it was really the beginning of design, so looking at it now, I would say “I wouldn’t do it like that again”. But nobody has actually changed it - it is still the same. They have shrunk it, they shrunk the dimensions. It was a 10 micrometer design, that was the standard size. You could make it in four (micrometers) now. This is more die per wafer, but nobody has changed the arrangement or the schematic.

> As a timer, you know, you trigger it and it runs for a certain time, it is very good. It has a temperature coefficient of like 23 parts per million. Over a large temperature range, that’s like .1 %. Its very stable. In free running mode, as an oscillator, its not so good, about 150 parts per million. And that you could improve down to about 10 ppm. So you could make an improved product. I’m amazed and stunned that in 30 years, somebody hasn’t looked at the schematic and said, “I can make this better”, so for the same area and same cost, and then they have a better product. Nobody has done that.

And that's great! Lots of us consider more than just "this is a well oiled global machine". That's the beauty of diversity and markets that support a diversity of opinions. I love and use some of these companies because they are in the EU which I consider further up on the "freedom" and "responsible global player" scale than my home country of the USA.
Dalio's huge success and wealth is a perfect example of mediocrity being rewarded. Bill Gross is another. I don't understand how there are so many talented, smart people online and who write blogs yet this guy is a billionaire many times over. It's not like he is the smartest by a long shot. It's not like Tesla or Space-X, in which only Elon is uniquely qualified to run those companies. If you took all the 1000 smartest people on reddit and here and put them in charge of major companies and investments, GDP would triple in a decade lol . That is sort of what Renaissance tech did with investing by screening for the smartest people in the world (and Renaissance was founded by a genius as well), which is the most successful hedge fund ever by huge margin.
The point isn't just that it's annoying, it's that it's dangerous. That's pretty obvious from their comment:

> Personally I hope they get banned, because I am pretty tired of being passed on my morning commute by often multiple (EP)A-traktors going 100km/h on a 70 km/h road, driven by someone without a driver's licence.

Does that sound at all safe to you? Why should someone have the freedom to endanger others on public roads?
From the beginning of SICP [0]:

> A powerful programming language is more than just a means for instructing a computer to perform tasks. The language also serves as a framework within which we organize our ideas about processes. Thus, when we describe a language, we should pay particular attention to the means that the language provides for combining simple ideas to form more complex ideas. Every powerful language has three mechanisms for accomplishing this:

> * primitive expressions, which represent the simplest entities the language is concerned with,

> * means of combination, by which compound elements are built from simpler ones, and

> * means of abstraction, by which compound elements can be named and manipulated as units.

Brainfuck is missing any sort of means of abstraction. The primitives are instructions, and the only means of combination is writing instructions in sequence, but there's no way in the language to refer to any sequence of instructions --- no functions, no subroutines, not even labels. This makes it utterly useless as a way to organize your thoughts on how to compute something.

I’d rather have pterodactyls so we can fly places in an environmentally friendly way.

I miss the flintstones cartoons from when I was a child.
Totally agree, and this is why the validation process at the early stage is so crucial in finding product-market fit.

Without learning what works, it'll be a difficult haul to achieving PMF.

Many failed by not first validating their ideas and dived straight into the "deep end".

We all know that ideas are cheap and execution is expensive. But what's more expensive?

The execution of untested ideas.
I might get a ton of flak for this, but I discount the frequency of long Covid by a substantial amount. Not the severity, mind you, but the amount of people it's actually physiologically affecting.

If you can increase UFO sightings by telling everyone that UFOs exist and talking about UFOs... well, then what do you get from a global trauma with high and continuous uncertainty, that requires uncommon expertise to parse, on the news 24/7?
> And, critically, at a smaller rate than get seriously ill from the vaccine itself.

Is this actually true? The rate of serious reactions to COVID vaccines seems to be almost astronomically small. There have been hundreds of millions of COVID-19 vaccine doses given in the US at this point and something like a few thousand total reports of significant adverse effects. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/ad... The main concern appears to be anaphylaxis, at 2-5 cases in a million.

Meanwhile there have been >8000 children ages 5-11 hospitalized, and 94 deaths, with about 2 million reported infections. (As of October) https://www.cnsnews.com/index.php/article/national/susan-jon...

I'm having trouble finding stats about children under 5, but I did find a CDC publication that indicates a hospitalization rate of 4.2 per 100000 population as of July for ages 2-4, and 24.8 per 100k for children <2. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932e3.htm COVID seems higher risk than the vaccine even in this population. (Which is not to say the risk is particularly high in this population.)
if you read their comment history, you'll see they're a regular on Q stuff, and the subreddit it's on is QanonCasualties, so it's not weird for them to bring up Q at all.
The short eval is standard amongst small lisps (see eg SICP), but the immutability which leads to the nice ABC GC (no RPLACD, no cycles, immutable strings) is practical. All other lisp liked one or our autolisp features: the very same immutability. Such a GC really is trivial and fast. Lot of temporary garbage, but only for a single op.
I keep thinking about this. If you combine the probabilities that the virus will evade vaccines along with it mutating to be deadly, the combination is probably a very small number. However, Omicron is spreading all over the world which increases the chance this happens.
I trade multiple points of failure to a single one. If you have redundancy for docker but your CI or cloud provider is down it would be useless too.
Except it hasn't been shown yet to be effective against Covid-19 yet. So why would they prescribe it? The irony is you're saying the doctor got it from CNN when antivaxxers have been screaming about ivermectin for months, without any proof it's effective.

>This incessant political polarization of science has to stop.

Lol. In comments to a post about a doctor venting about being assaulted for not giving into conspiracy theorists demands re: treatment, and people say he's making it "political". Anyone can doubt the veracity all they want, there's 1000 more stories just like this.
I'm not entirely sure, but perhaps there's an argument to be made that since it's pretty much the only way to get DRM free copies of certain materials piracy at times is justified.
Okay, so if I changed the software to prevent speeding only if you are in a school zone, would you be okay to lose your freedom to speed in the school zone, or do you still contend that you need to speed to escape your dangerous situation or rush to the hospital?
This is why I've never used any EAP or any other form of mental health service in any way connected to my employer.
I'm more or less in the ballpark of 10% of weight lost and maintained in a timeline of 5+ years (although weight is always in flux). I have no genetic gifts - I must keep an eye on the nutrition and training; otherwise, my weight slowly goes up.

If I saw people permanently ban junk/fat/sugary food from their homes, do at least 3 hours/week of complete training (weights and cardio), and not being able to stay fit, I would believe that weight loss/being fit is a serious physiological and psychological challenge.

What I observe though, starting from mid-30s, is that the vast majority of people keeps junk food at home (which is, no wonder, "extremely difficult psychologically" not to eat) and/or doesn't do traning (let alone complete training). And invariably blames it on genetics and aging.

(I don't doubt that there is a minority of the people that has serious metabolic disorders, but that's not the general case)
This just means that our notion of a tree does not map cleanly to a genetic lineage. That does not mean the concept is useless, even in scientific fields.
Comment history reads as fake to me.

Single purpose, 9 months old account. Only mentions being a doctor ~3 months ago, and then consistently mentions it.
This is a tough one and also one of my fears with my child. Take comfort in knowing that despite how powerful external forces may seem that you as her parent have an even more powerful influence. A wise man once told me "kids will never ever do what you say but will always do what you do". I would show her that obstacles are intrinsic to life. We are wired for struggle. Our struggles are what define us. Even when we have no struggles we tend to manufacture them just so we can overcome them and give meaning to our life. If she wants to give her struggle a label as x condition then that's fine, what matters is what her path should be to overcome that condition.

Jordan Peterson talks about this a lot, especially in "12 Rules For Life" and in his lectures about his daughter's medical condition. I couldn't find the relevant quote but he touches on it in this lecture segment [1]

I did something similar when my wisdom teeth came in shortly after I turned 21. When it hurt, I would drink, and when it stopped hurting, I stopped drinking.
> How many different angles have we seen on, "...and if we hoover up enough data, profit!"

Even doctor's offices do this now. I've been to a few that ask you to sign away your rights to privacy so that they can sell your medical information to their partners. It's gross.
... where did they say 14 years?

edit: the post above literally says they've never been on reddit, why am I getting downvotes for this?
Thanks, I noted it down and will fix it today.
I've seen some self reported “lisp pros” working every day on lisp projects, but they are pretty rare compared to c++/javascript/python/c# programmers. It usually sounds like they are senior people who get their choice of languages and/or consultants who write and maintain very custom stuff with long-term, loyal customers.
The link « you’ll need to upgrade to a new wifi » points to a google wifi product page whose big bold tag line is

Oh the irony.
This is why I don't respect rationalism as a philosophy.
We can’t know, but a cursory glance at the user’s post history shows that this isn’t some fly-by troll. They’ve been pretty consistent for a long time.
Nah, not really even close to Heroku's experience
I think the part about not pressing charges gives this away as being fictional. As someone mentioned in the comments, an assault is a mandated report, and the author claimed security witnessed it. If charges were filed, it would be easy to verify this story.
C#, a 21 year old programming language which consistently makes it into the top 6 programming languages by popularity in all methodologies of measuring, "launched and soon sank with little trace"? That's an interesting take.
Intellectual property is theft by the corporations — it is literally charging us to partake in our own culture. And if you’re a creator and create something derivative, expect tens of thousands in a legal judgement against you just because you’re a creative fan. Even decades after the creator is dead, and can no longer benefit.
Kodi is the perfect example of how amateurs (in the good sense of the word) can make something long-lasting and provide an alternative that is better than whatever the "industry" wants to shove down our throats.
I'm not sure I get what you're trying to say, what's wrong with advocating for people to take personal time off when they are feeling burnt out or tired from repetitive stress? I'm struggling to understand why that's misuse or in anyway similar to an alcoholic.
Unless we're talking about controlled substances, tell the patient it won't help and is a bad idea. If they insist, give them a release to sign. Once you inform the patient, you're past the point of doing harm.
It really doesn’t. There hasn’t been an active Android maintainer for ages at this point - it’s only just barely supported.
Okay, so if I changed my software to allow you to speed everywhere except school zones, are you okay with that, or does is it still seem like a revenue machine or a thwart on your reasonable speeding?
> is it wise to reward yourself for being stressed by having a holiday?

Yes. No matter what the fashion of the moment moves anyone to call it, it absolutely is wise to take a break and recover when you can do that without letting anyone down. The stress will still be there tomorrow, and if you're on a good team, you don't have to carry it alone. As long as you don't shade out when it really needs to be all hands on deck, you're fine. It's not hard to spot the ones who abuse it, and at this point in my career I don't find it hard to avoid places where they're welcome.

Better that than needlessly go one day closer to burnout, don't you think? Speaking of which - to conceive of it as a "reward", and an undue one at that, strikes me as sounding like nothing more strongly than burnout. There's a place you get to where it feels like you're thriving on the misery, but that's only because it's been so long since you had anything to compare it to. The next place down from there is worse.

So yeah, I don't begrudge it of my colleagues when they take the time they need, nor do they of me. We've all seen what happens when you don't. None of us wants to see any more of it. You don't want to either, especially not from the inside. Not everyone makes it back.
Author here — maybe it was dumb of me to try, but it didn’t come close to a bad temperature. I get the feeling that the BIOS doesn’t stress the CPU very much. Of course, I would never try to boot an OS or let it sit for much longer than I did.
I thought that feature was behind a subscription, though?
There quite a few outliers and 10x programmers when you consider that there are millions of programmers. most of us are somewhere in those two quartiles in the middle. Be happy with what you can do and always try to improve don't try to compare yourself to the Einsteins of the world, you'll always be disappointed. be happy that you're good enough to be a professional but always be a little bit restless.
Yes because the target for both businesses is young and optionless women. Those details help people sympathize with the women, and it seems like OF models are operating with more autonomy but I suspect many models will regret posting online in the long run. These businesses tend to implode once enough of the models go public with their regret.
Colour me confused, a nuclear power plant the operators can choose how much power they make every day and generally choose as much as possible, a wind farm they can set a limit for the maximum power generated but the actual power generated could be anywhere from zero to the set maximum depending on the wind speed.

nuclear is more often considered baseload generation as opposed to dispatchable but wind is not baseload or dispatchable since it is not possible to control the wind speed.
Some things are better left unearthed. Who knows what other terrors lie beneath.
I’d take a taxi over a random person who decided to drive Uber/Lyft to make a few extra bucks. Furthermore, taxi prices over last couple years are at or better compared to same Uber/Lyft ride. Lastly, the apps taxis have are effectively the same. Last time I was in PHX I scheduled a 4am taxi ride, got a text 30 minutes ahead to confirm, once driver was en-route received a text with link to a real time map tracking cars location to my destination. The experience is the same.
To only use Cloudflare for DNS, just add a record and make sure the orange cloud icon is off to disable proxying. However, your observation is mostly correct. Cloudflare offers at cost domain registration as an extra benefit (or lock in) for their customers, rather than as a general service and as such, you can't change your nameservers away from them.
You should carefully read what I wrote in the context of the parent comment, and see why your comment is not adding anything to the conversation.

In other words, if you're a doctor, go ahead and tell all your patients the above. You will see negligible impact on their weight, so your advice was useless (worse than useless, since you come across as an asshole).

As an aside, conscientiousness/willpower is highly heritable (as much as height and IQ), so if you're especially good at sticking to a diet, that's also genetics.
Those 2 types sound a lot like software engineers.
I am likewise often disturbed by kneejerk authoritarian responses especially how they have increased in my lifetime, but not as much when it comes to bad unlicensed drivers, driving is dangerous and not given nearly enough respect and I’m fine with reasonable restrictions on it.
A lot of companies have a conflict of interest between making the best software and prioritizing synergy with another division. Sony Electronics added DRM to their formats to help Columbia Pictures.
I don't get the premise of the article. A tree is just a growth shape of a plant (plants are quite flexible regarding growth shapes, and often adapt to the environment), and a category that our minds place a plant species into. And its clearly an ancient ability common to all vascular plants to develop woody tissues. So why would we expect the tendency of a plant to become a tree to depend on its position in the phylogenetic tree? (the authors had me there for a moment. I thought they wanted to show that the phylogenetic tree is not really a tree!)
I used XBMC (and then Kodi) for many years, had it installed on AppleTV, FireTV, etc, etc but I eventually migrated fully to Plex. I found that I prefer Plex over Kodi when dealing with local media.

Eventually Kodi only felt useful if you wanted to dive into the world of streaming movies and shows from various shady sources.
The other thing you don't see is how stupid the p05 patient is. Its not someone reading primary sources or coming in well informed. Its someone coming in saying Dr Oz says that eating blueberries cures cancer.
By the same logic, uTorrent was what got the TPB founders in trouble.
ClockworkPi DevTerm – Hardware Review
To show just how much the XBMC Foundation is against using their work for piracy:

They chose the name Kodi because it was the most protectable trademark they could claim, which opened an avenue for them to sue the drop-shippers for trademark violation.
last cycle, I had two interviews on the same day for two different startups, and at both meetings one of the people in the room was the same, and yup they were the CTO of both places simultaneously

they remembered who I was but insisted on following the script the second time too

i did take the offer :) i think they were impressed because the second time they asked "where do you want to be in x years/where do you want your career going" I said "i want to be you/in your chair"
I would be very interested in knowing how to set it up natively as the OBS Studio [instructions][1] that I found recommended using BlackHole along with setting up the aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup.

Interesting read. I recently came across idle games and started playing Melvor Idle on iOS.
