Maybe look outside of work?

People who are truly passionate about their work are lucky.

But IMHO it's more realistic to find a job that isn't stressful & that one enjoys a bit (if one still needs to pay the bills).

There's a ton of happiness and fulfillment to be found outside of your career.

But you need to have the time and mental capacity to get there.

Works sucks up all of those resources for a lot of people.
You can take solace in the fact that "whites" will never again command such societies in the future. The exaggerated "colonialism" narrative comes off as pining for a long-lost era of dominance, but in a socially acceptable way.

The era of Northern Europeans ("whites") dominating the globe is over forever, so no need to beat yourself up about it. Just letting you know that this extreme narrative is quite bizarre to non-Americans.
or maybe they do not know/they missed that creating a fork from an existing project actually triggers “new repo created” event in the github organization, which has an unintended effect.
And look at how much liquid helium is required for the cooling plant. There isn't enough on the planet to build many reactors like this.

MultiMC is a Minecraft launcher. I found it interesting that in their CMakefile they have a check for WSL that immediately aborts the build when it is detected, especially with the arguments raised in this issue.

I wish you hadn’t given anything back. Let them fry.
Lots of good advice here about paying attention to the patterns of what you like versus dislike.

For me, I love being able to sit down and concentrate for 5 hours and make progress on a coding activity. (Advent of Code is almost catnip for me; I’ll save up a week’s worth of them and blow a half a Saturday on them.) Other people thrive on social aspects of team/project work.

Naturally, I picked a job that gives me virtually none of that focused coding time, so there’s that…
What? no, this goes entirely against the idea of laws.

Copyright laws have one major purpose: protect the right holders. It does so by giving them tools to mitigate their loses by deterring people from infringing.

If a right holder has to invest more time in complaining on people about infringement than actually having time to do other stuff, like creating, then we've got it all wrong.
I mean yeah. But for a few years there, they were at least not as obviously horrible as they used to be, or as some other companies were.

A lot of commenters are sharpening their pitchforks, but this comment, in my opinion, makes it very likely that it was an honest mistake. Amazing what taking personal responsibility and earnestly apologizing can do to restore trust and credibility!
On the bi-weekly sprint planning - yes.
From what's actually on the backlog - definitely not.

Opportunity Team meetings (or stakeholder chats - lead devs, architects, support peeps etc) always cover the general direction we want to go and are where the ideas for the backlog come from.

Example of easy benefit is if we have two things we want the product to do - this is where you learn what the options are and more importantly the rough costs/impacts.
If something's going to cost 10x as much and require refactoring, I suddenly decide I don't want it as much as the other option.

Can also come up from mid-sprint from dev.
(Real example) I had a US to add a new button. Dev noticed there was an internal 'button framework' already in place (as somebody had some a good job in the distant past). She asked if I could add a new US for next sprint to continue this work, so she could extend this framework and allow us to publish it.
i.e. Focus on adding new controls to the config tool, and then delivering on the original US with a bit of config.
I had no idea this untapped potential even existed - but for 2 weeks effort of one person, my product now has a configurable UI.
Lost count of the number of issues where a customer query can now be answered with - Just add a new button/tab/menu (and then over time it's been easy to add contextual controls, make more tokens available to the target builder etc etc)

"Technical Debt" is often mentioned (hidden cost of a hacked together mess, increasing the cost of the next feature to be piled on top). What's satisfying are the "Technical Assets" like this - not just for me as I get a better product, but for the dev who can take pride in building something elegant and knowing this feature is theirs.
I had to do a patch tuesday for 6 hours even though I had the whole week off. Ugh.`
The challenging thing about any kind of organizational self analysis is that the problem is usually people, who have either bad skills, insights or habits, and you can't get rid of them.

So in a pre mortem, how can you say, "Well, we know Jim can't remember what we agreed to, and will get aggressive unless we placate him."
I vehemently disagree with this. Yes, life still sucks to an extent but not living under the boot, velvet wrapped or not, still matters quite a bit. And there are quite a few comforts of life now available which you couldn't even dream of back then. It's really not even comparable.

I needed to re-learn what sort of foods I like or not because I was eating such crap for the first half of my life. You can buy much higher quality food and in much bigger selection. There are restaurants worth going to. Life really did get better.
I think your perspective is valuable. You so try to empathize but you also realize the limitations of your own perspective which, in my opinion and observations, is light years ahead of most people who think they do have the ability to empathize and consider radically different perspectives than their own. In reality most people have an incredibly difficult time considering different thought processes.
Nice!

I've often wondered about decentralized recommendation systems and ML. Good to see something going in this area.
Marriage Requires Amnesia
As a structural biologist, I have to ask, how did you draw that from this?

> seemed possible that the three-dimensional structure of a protein could be predicted based on the sequence of its amino acids.

That simply is not what AlphaFold (or any homology modeling) is doing, and certainly not:

>This is a breakthrough on two fronts. It solves a scientific problem that has been on the to-do list for 50 years. And just like Fermat’s Last Theorem or gravitational waves, scientists kept at it until it was done.
There are some really questionable claims from both an anthropological and political perspective.

John Sexton's summary mirrors my own opinion:

> The book is fundamentally unserious and undeserving of the wide acclaim and attention it has been receiving. But it is worth considering the book’s blind spots and flaws — the better to understand the weaknesses of the genre and the intellectual temptations of our age. [0]

[0] https://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/a-reductionist-h...

Intellectual temptations is our contemporary desire for condensed information from a single source.
Employee, significant other, these are roles we may adopt at certain stages in our lives, but they're certainly not everything. They represent only a fraction of your potential.

Another way to look at things is that you've just gained a tremendous amount of agency. You're no longer required to perform these roles. There are surely dreams or opportunities out there which you wanted to pursue but were never able to. Take whatever amount of time you feel is appropriate to grieve, it's very normal to experience distress in the face of radical change. Then pursue them. There won't be many times in your life when you're presented with a clean slate like this.
This is because continuous optimization is useless when crossing a discontinuity, which is what control flow creates. Even in a trivial situation like ReLU, where the control flow is mimicking a continuous transition, you have the "dead ReLU" problem, where you have to start training on the correct side of the discontinuity and make sure to never cross.
That's not how I would explain bioinformatics and computational biology... What people often mean when they say bioinformatics is actually computational biology: using computer software, algorithms and other such tools to analyze biological data. Bioinformatics is the development of new tools, new algorithms and new methods to do computational biology.

In other words, a bioinformatician is to a computer scientist what a computational biologist is to a data scientist.

Using biological systems to do computing is more in the realm of "biological computers".
> magine a white supremacist who learns they had a Black ancestor. That would transform their whole world view.

Afaik, it does not. Nazi who found out they have Jewish ancestors did not concluded being Jew is fine. They continied to hate Jews and found whole thing unfair.

Self Hate is a thing, ignoring evidence is a thing and both can make you even more dangerous.
They forgot that a bot may overwrite the license when they fork a repo. That's different from forgetting to check if a license exists.

> The pace of innovation appears to have slowed greatly in recent decades.

Nope. We as a society have just re-evaluated what is the innovation we want. In the old days it was moon programs and nuclear technology (for good and bad). Later we deemed circumventing financial regulation and getting people click ads more important.
That's factually incorrect. Mastodon was funded by Prototype Fund this year to develop new features. Mastodon was released in 2016 and has more than 26k GitHub stars, so is quite clearly way beyond being a prototype.
How old is China? How big is China? Was it always that big? Everybody just come together in a big kumbaya circle one day?
> Yes, but that doesn't count as surviving the crash

It counts as making cars safer which was the above claim I am supporting.

> you only have at a maximum 1 meter to decelerate. And if you crash into a heavier, faster vehicle, it's even worse.

Most vehicle crashes are not head-on incidents.

Improvements in road design have affected the proportion of crashes that are head-on. Recent improvements in active safety features may decrease this further: eg. lane departure mitigation.

In many real-world accidents, vehicles have dozens or hundreds of meters to decelerate.
> Also never do drugs "because it makes you feel better when you are sad".

It's not risk free, but I disagree with this as absolute advice, a trip can fill up one's spiritual gas tank to keep on moving forward, they can demonstrate that one's depression is largely illusory.
I also thought it was more (I remember reading about 30% in the early 2000's), so I was kinda surprised. I think you are right that miles traveled will be higher, so from an emissions perspective the decrease in commuting is good news. From the perspective of cars being everywhere and making environments unpleasant, as long as people don't think twice about hoping in the car to go Starbucks twice a day, we've got a huge problem.
Going from my experience with 1Password here.

There are a few ideas, first is as you mentioned, it’s 1 password to remember, the rest can be randomly generated and you don’t need to know them.

In the case of 1Password, data is stored at rest, if the vaults locked it can’t be read, well, not easily.

Auto fill helps detect phishing attempts, if the domain is different 1Password won’t auto fill

It also can detect breaches and store TOTP if that tickles your fancy.

Auto fill is the key point of a good password manager, it makes entering logins trivial, I use biometrics to unlock on all my devices, then it fills in my details for me and away I go.
It’ll suck up much less if you know your real passion is outside of work. Instead of stressing about getting a staff engineering title, I enjoy senior and make some money to simply support that passion :)

Where are you located and what, precisely, do these medical tests entail? What biochemical mechanisms do they look at for accurate diagnoses?

From my observation of psychological testing and diagnosis on the research side in the US, its a shit show. Most of it is self reporting and questionnaires which don't actually tell us anything about underlying mechanisms. Its just a bunch of symptom check boxes.

1. I use it to caption images for blog posts (e.g. the images in https://simulavr.com/blog/technical-overview/)

2. I use it for easy image hosting that I can control in the Wolfram command line (vs. imgur, etc).

3. I use it to upload lengthy text files (e.g. error outputs when programming) over things like pastebin.

4. Until very recently, I used it to manage our site's email waitlist (setting up an email submission form was 1 Wolfram function).

5. I use it to visualize personal data (productivity stuff, timelog data, etc).

6. I use it to run mathematical computations when reading technical materials. Wolfram can do things like "show how this integral is derived in a human-readable way", which makes it easier to understand steps glossed over in math proofs.

7. I use it to collage images together when sharing them with other people (https://reference.wolfram.com/language/ref/ImageCollage.html).

8. I use it to make timelines when making back-of-the-napkin Gantt charts (e.g. https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/george.w.singer/business/pn...), or histories (e.g. https://www.wolframcloud.com/obj/george.w.singer/business/pn...)

I'm not intending/trying to start any sort of argument about how things actually are.

I have no idea. I've never been to China. It could be really bad, exactly the way the video makes it out to be. The video could be dramatized, and not representative of the situation as a whole.

I'm not sure I would believe things that China told me about the US

By the same logic, I'm not sure I believe all the things that US/US-allied media tell me about China

Without access to verifiably unbiased information (which is difficult in an age where nations have entire agencies dedicated to misinformation for political purposes) it's something that's hard for me to form an objective opinion on. And I'm not that invested in it to want to form an opinion.

I just wanted to point out this odd behavior that I've not seen much of on here.
Chrome Remote Desktop is what I'd recommend too. If they already have Chrome it should automatically install the rest (with a confirmation) when they try to share the screen.
My pitch to clients is that the Password Manager is a way to consolidate all their passwords into a safe place, which also locks them into their own devices, which also gives them the ability to use unguessable and unique passwords, 2FA in the app.. and makes it easy to use and fill in. For some folks I tell them it's kind of like a glorified bookmark app that also fills in passwords. Whatever it takes to switch you over. ;-)

In my case we use 1Password for families .. which means my SO and kids also use it. Good password management from the get go is well worth it. It works on all your devices and automatically syncs across all of them.
I would also like to see a more walkable future, but I've given up hope that such a big transition will happen within a timeframe small enough to make a difference for things like GHG emissions. I guess I've made my reluctant peace with a rapid electrification of the world's vehicle fleet (which, yes, isn't exactly clean either).

They should work on banning its use outside of war and against civilians. It is the nature of war to demand proliferation of such things. Americans have the luxury of fighting wars in other continents but for most nations war means your civilians being killed or worse and being subjugated to the enemy. Not just this but even nukes make a lot of sense as a deterrent. But using these weapons in "strategic" attacks like with drones or to assist in proxy wars or to accept and shrug off civilian deaths as collateral damage is unacceptable.
Can you imagine saying “ni hao” and asking for selfies with random Asian people on the street in whatever western country? It would be racist and demeaning as hell. That’s what they subjected you to, and you felt “special.”

No it isn't.

You just need to formally specify what you want to happen, then reason as to whether this leads to adequate semantics for the component being built, and iterate until satisfactory semantics are achieved. This just happens to be the definition of programming.
Yes but that is why researchers are actively working to change this. We are aware of the problems, but the system we're dealing with is large and complex.

It takes time and effort to learn about the mechanisms, just because we don't know right now doesn't mean we never will.

Treat life like a gradient descent algorithm. Analyze your current landscape, adjacencies, possibilities and try different things. See what happens. You will get disinterested or fail 99% of the time. But that 1% will lead you to the next iteration down the gradient. Rinse and repeat.
> I'm not gonna change as a human unless I actually move there to live permanently.

This, in my experience, is simply not true.

There is a value in going to different places, changing every variable there is to your life except yourself.

When you are somewhere you've never been to, where you know nobody, where the food, language and customs are all different, then you can find out which parts of yourself stay, who you are and what you are capable of. That has value.
The issue is not one of linguistic subtleties, but whether the government should fund boondoggles at all. While probably, at least judging by the pictures of the funded projects, engaging in age discrimination.
