In my experience, having multiple people own a thing means that no-one owns it. Usually what happens is that officially "we all own this", but unofficially "if you touch this without consulting Sharon, she'll be pissed off".

Or it gets dumped into the "no-one wants to touch that, if it goes wrong we have to coerce someone to go fix it, badly, and late" bucket.
On lesswrong, from memeory and in my very humble opinion, the ratio insights to (pompous?) lengthy sentences is way too low. But I will take a look again.
No clear evidence yet when just looking at a small sample of UK data.

It's clear from SA that this wave is having lower mortality than previous waves (perhaps for a mixture of reasons).

There is also data that shows that Omicron spreads much slower in the lung than the previous variant, while spreading 70 times faster in bronchial tissue (which is why it is so transmissable) so there is a suspected vector for why it may be milder.

Others have worked out the full effect. Earlier this year, Ottavia Prunas at Yale University applied two different models to data from Israel, where the Pfizer vaccine was used. Her team’s conclusion was that the overall vaccine effectiveness against transmission was 89 per cent.

IIRC the designers liked mods and recruited a bunch of demoscene musicians through a contest to write songs based on loose descriptions of the various species and situations.

Also makes me wonder how different the world would be if the dominant PC sound card in the 90's were something like the GUS rather than Adlib/Soundblaster.

The older I get the more I realise the fortunes in my life have such a basis in luck, a chance encounter here, a conversation that led to a shared topic there. So much of my life is based on one or two lucky chances I had, and I know that my life could have taken a very different turn, it is humbling to think about.

This was a great read, thanks for sharing.
Wow, in a museum, makes me feel old, I was trained in how to adjust them in my first career, end of the 70's. Saw the last 'step by step' exchange decommissioned a few years later, I was working in the 'cross bar' exchange next door. The first 'electronic exchange' was built across town - it used solid state switching.
In a small embedded system with a 0.1$ single core processor you wouldn't need many of the safety features anyway. Your interrupt routine to read new symbols and your loop processing the content will never collide.

This is the lower end of embedded systems, but the vast majority of them and those don't have any concurrency. Didn't try Rust here, but I would assume you have to jump through some hoops to achieve simple register access or declaring whole blocks as unsafe.
Agree on all points. :)

A lot of my searches are for errors, using Google I can find answers like "yes package X version 3 will give 6that error on node 10 so fiddle around with version until you get it working since the package maintainer did not backport the fix".

Or I can find similar issues reported and open bug reports with my issue so I know that is not only me with this problem.

Sometimes I forget how to do something in the correct/efficient way, things I only do one time a year at most.

You will have to elaborate instead of throwing easy accusations like these. Linux namespaces are pretty tight, and I make sure that flatpaks that need sandboxing have the right sandboxing mechanisms in place.

In order:

1. Filesystem access is one of the most critical pieces (to me). Flatpaks on flathub often restricts this by default, except for a few packages. Portal mechanisms offer on-demand access to external files and folders.

2. X11 access: I use wayland, and make sure the program I'm launching does too. There is a X11-fallback scheme that blocks access to X11 if wayland is being used.

3. Network access: I usually leave it enabled when needed, there is not much to exfiltrate if filesystem isn't accessible, and that's the main threat I'm concerned about.

I am not very concerned with Pulseaudio, pipewire socket or access to select D-Bus paths.

Sure, it is not an air-gapped computer, nor a virtual machine. The attack surface is bigger, but not that much.

Clever work, thank you for sharing!

Here's how I do the equivalent with a POSIX function to print a message to STDOUT:

out() { printf %s\\n "$*" }
I believe this is only partially true!

We call it science because when we find methods that we all agree on, as a culture to use then it becomes scientific.

For Instance psychology, in the freudean psychology the methology is still science even though he speaks of urges of "your mother" and interesting things like the "subconciousness". It has been met with great doubt over it's "initiation" but is now a widely acceptable practise.

So what has changed? Well the field concentrated on scientific core value which (almost) boil down to: Find a methology, prove that it works and replicated it again.scientific quality criteria.

I agree with op! Stimulating cells with electricity is not teaching them. Its assisted muscle reaction.

In this case its really clear cut too: if I need to give the braincells electro schocks (the thing they operate on), If anything, I am remote controlling brain cells. The whole idea of perception is flawed in this experiment, you know, because there is no actual perceptor of the paddel to begin with.

Sorry but as someone with a bachelor in psychology and 20 years of dev experience the starting poing of "I think many non scientists have a bit of a wrong idea of how science actually works." is just condecending theory. This is literally what "scientific quality criteria" is based on.
And now they’re gradually making those old docs unreachable. I don’t know what Apple’s endgame is here, but it’s pretty sad.

No professional psychotherapist can afford to be arrogant, you might have gotten unlucky with your experience so far. They are equipped to answer exactly such questions. Psychodynamic approaches, for example, are something you might want to look into.

Apple tried it as well with the iOS apps being able to dump their files in a flat structure only and organize and find them using labels and search.

It doesn’t work if you have more than a few documents and it isn’t what users want. Users want to be able to organise their documents in folders.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to read and commenting! :)

Problem #1 (at least for the "advanced" part of the article's suggestion) is unfixable unless you boil the ocean and change the POSIX spec. I tried to make that clear in the prose, but might have failed at it. It's also the reason why I chose the title to refer to `bash` scripts in particular.

Problem #2 becomes less relevant once you realize that problem #1 completely overshadows it. And in `zsh`, where you can also redefine `:` to invoke a custom function, tests via `[[` also work just like they do in bash.
Having been infected with one strain of SARS-CoV-2 doesn't protect you from all other variants. It's not even clear that it protects you from reinfection with the same variant indefinitely.
Not precisely the same thing, but worth mentioning: I'd recommend setting up something like gitea or gogs. They both have built-in support to auto-sync repos based on criteria, thereby also giving you full availability. Of course the issues/PRs etc are a different story.

> That means fewer people working in advertising or other key parts of the economy.

I see what you did there :).

Anyway, ~10 years ago I considered moving back to school for a nurse degree. I didn't and one of the reason was that I had not enough energy in me to fight for the degree and to fight the social and welfare system for the right to do it. Edit: It's a key part of the society and the promise of fulfilling rewards is great but the system doesn't like you. It glorifies your pain.

That's why I don't believe most nurses and health care workers who got out will ever get back as nurses. Maybe as medical secretaries or logistics but they won't get back in the trenches.
I turn the mic off and scream several times a day when the stupidity gets too strong.

I cannot speak for you, but what works for me:

- Daily cardio / lifting, alternating between them (first thing I do in the morning)

- Minimise caffeine intake

- Reminding myself that nobody is going to die even if I completely mess up everything

- Regular sleep schedule (new dad, so I imagine this is not going to be applicable)

Good luck!

It's called fucking professionalism. So stop listening to the whining cohort and realize it's just doing a goddamn job.

Okay, that's my pitch to people who grew up in a military family.

On the other hand, consider yourself the bright spot in the day for everyone who has no fucking clue what's going on.

And it's 2022. I just raised my hourly rate from $200 to $250. Do the same. And find some good ways to spend that good energy you still have, racing in the street or playing in a band or throwing paint at a wall.

Today I woke up and reminded myself . Ahem.
Every fucking day I work on a customer's code I need to remember it's a job, I'm doing it for the fucking money. Not to be a saint.
Wake up. Set four hours. Make money. Write good code.
Done?
Great. Now I hope you know by now what you're going to do with the rest of your day. What is it?

It's soooo easy to slip into the hole where we feel like we finished the work and the day is done. Let's get a pizza and watch netflix. That, my friend, is a death spiral.

Just treat the work like work. [edit here:] Everyone I've ever worked for had no capacity to do what I do, but those motherfuckers went above and beyond to make me feel like my moral obligation and main mission in life was to solve their problems while they partied and slept.

Your main problem sounds like you don't know how to enjoy the other 16 hours of your day.
> One interesting point I heard from a Lex Friedman podcast is it'll be interesting to do a database of diffs between different translated versions of the same literatures. I think stuff like this can greatly aid people's understanding of the original intents.

This is quite common in many religious circles. For example if you read an interesting verse in the bible you can gain a much deeper insight by looking at multiple of the dozens of translations available. Of course it can't beat a deep understanding of the original language and culture, but it scales much better (even with just the bible we are talking about two ancient languages and cultures spanning a decent area and thousands of years, while the sum of the translations gives you an approximation from just reading English).

The worst offenders for this are package bundlers. Like when they remove/change features and don't have the decency to leave a note saying what change and how to fix it. There are dozens of issues and StackOverflow questions dedicated to obscure errors that make no sense — if you're lucky to find them. Sometimes even specific errors come out but they don't make any sense. Could anyone add a link to these? No.

That's literally what Carbon credits are. That indeed is the whole point of economists proposing them as a mechanism.

What do you think they are if not that?

Note electricity is and always has been a highly regulated industry, but Carbon Credits are in fact a move towards more market signals.

You might disagree with the shared consensus reality, perhaps you think CO2 is a hoax molecule invented by the Swiss as a prank, but even then, Carbon Credits are clearly an attempt to price in this fictitious molecule and apply market signals to it.
Biologically, a big thing is exercise. Get plenty of it, because it helps regulate mood (a lot). Longish walks or runs also help you take a time-out, which is important from time to time. Sunlight might also play a factor depending on how susceptible you are.

Also, being a new parent is inherently stressful. It helps to be aware of that to give some perspective.

Career-wise, think about what kinds of things related to your line of work you actually enjoy doing, don't enjoy doing, and utterly hate doing. There are different kinds of companies and work cultures that increase or decrease these things. Right now is a good time for remote workers, so you have more choice than you did a year ago. Figure out what areas of work will maximise what you like and minimise what you hate, then think carefully about what kinds of interview questions you can ask a potential employer to see what you can realistically expect if you worked there. It's perfectly fine to say "Sorry, we won't be a good match" and move on. Just like in relationships, there are all kinds.

It's a good question. The interference pattern is a result of two things:

1) Quantum mechanics: the pilot wave or whatever you want to call it.

2) Incoming particles' positions having a broad statistical distribution.

With a cunningly skewed / rigged distribution you wouldn't see fringes (e.g. suppose they all come in on the same trajectory). However such distributions are atypical.*

But we talk about probability being a 'measure of ignorance' here because we don't know where these particles are exactly, but we know they must have gone through the initial slit, and QM says: in that case, here's the probability it will end up at this final destination.

* This the same story as statistical mechanics. (Having said that we do have the issue there that our systems start in low entropy, or 'atypical', states. That's a whole other topic)

Yet none show any ambition to develop high tech that anyone could spot from space

Above the sea level, anyone who had it is either a part of “our” genome or extinct. Below it is a completely separate biome which may not yet had an event starting this type of evolution. It’s unclear if in a million years (in the absence of humans) squids would stay the same or evolve into walking and then moon-landing.

I think that only one species can do that, because the most energetic natural environment (free oxygen in our case), which is required for it, is usually only one per planet, and you have to fight over it, with hands, wood, metals, fire, ATGMs.
Even if your current employer doesn't match your contributions, deferring your taxes from now to the future (when you might not need to pay as much due to lower tax bracket) is considered good practice from a tax perspective. Of course there are edge cases when that may not hold (e.g. you have a pension) and have more income in retirement compared to now, but it's a good rule of thumb.
Not sure why you want to avoid psychotherapy. Maybe look into Gestalt therapy. Find a therapist that will help you to solve your problems, and not one that is arrogant.
This is incorrect - it's not about lacking bits of knowledge expected for a role, it's when someone feels like a fraud and undeserving of their status despite being entirely competent.
C had years for tooling to be developed. Currently I still prefer C and find Rust to be too strict in parts. But I guess when better tools are available, it could be a decent choice.

But for processors this small I currently could not tell you any advantages to be honest.

I live in Hamburg, Germany.
The amount of broken glass bottles is amazing...

I lived in Hamburg for almost 30 years, but the city was never dirtier than it is right now.
Me too, I worked on Customers with "DevOps" teams responsible for creating and maintaining the tools and processes, creating a sort of polarization between two gropus: devs and "devops (sysadmin)" team.

Some Developers tend to stick with the Dev parts, ignore the Docker/helm configs so, yeah there is some trouble with a true "DevOps" project.

And Google is re-introducing a "K8s stability role", which is a Sys(Dev)Ops role, pushing on that direction (for valid reason).

A true shift so it is difficult, but DevOps time-to-market deploy speed is so high I will no look back :)

> But for outside devs, Apple has almost frozen ObjC in favour of Swift

In my experience, Apple doesn't even have to freeze anything because the iOS developer community (outside of Apple) is full of proud Early Adopters. Sometimes it feels like a race to use the latest tools on day one. I haven't seen anyone looking for ObjC developers from the day Swift was announced.

You've put into words the way I live. No matter how upset or angry I am, no matter how much traffic or rain was on my drive, no matter how much code was lost, I try to be the thing that people in my life look forward to. Always make other people feel better after talking to you.

I kind of developed that after hearing "people never remember what you say or do, people remember how you made them feel". Even the cop who pulls me over gets a smile and a "good morning".

I think that if just half of people did this, we would live in such a nicer world. This is the definition of civilization that I like best.
