As a remote-first company, many of our teams/channels have people spanning five or more timezones. For my team, there is no time that I could send a slack to the channel in which everyone is working (and I think exactly one hour where it’s not 10:30PM-8AM for someone in the channel if everyone is in their home time zone).

Further, I don’t require employees to notify the team if they travel to another time zone temporarily (it’s none of my/our business).

Receiver-side notification settings are the workable answer here IMO. (I don’t care when you respond to the Slack channel; I do care that we can use Slack. Slack has the ability to set your own schedule on notifications already.)
Not religious and not really spiritual at all to be honest.

The closest thing to "spiritual" that I do is walking slowly. Years ago one day I noticed I had the habit of walking very quickly everywhere I went and that this was pointless. I walk much more slowly now, looking around, watching things, people, anything. I make a point of always leaving earlier than I need so that I never have to hurry.

Kind of like the reverse to the chorus in "Nowhere fast".

This is a rewording of the original title, which is:

C Is Not a Low-level Language
Your computer is not a fast PDP-11.

"Trying to expose a PDP-11" is misleading here, because how it's written in this title suggests that C is not a low level language because it fails at exposing a PDP-11.

Rather, the article suggests that modern processors are made in a way to expose abstractions which are similar to a fast PDP-11, which lacks real ways to represent their true complexity.

It's an interesting article, but this misleading title might give the wrong idea.
For the sake of factual accuracy, the vaccine being “completely safe” for children should be rephrased “short term side effects outweighed by risks associated with the disease; medium and long term cost/benefit unknown.”
Of course, but my own experience was that I could forgo a car for a bike. I could still buy bread at the end of day for a 75% discount. I could rent a room with 2 other people for 1/4 of what a 1 bedroom would be. I could go to 2nd hand stores for clothes.

Yes, trying to replicate a middle class life as a poor person is expensive. But you can also just live like a poor person and get by.

We are not Epic :)
That's not the way it goes, though. For generations, royals (and other wealthy folks) have married their children away as pawns. These aren't/weren't seen as a chance to redeem poor choices, but as a way to keep wealth to a small circle.

People have been seen as monetary items for centuries.

If we want folks to not be used in such ways, we actually have to legislate it. Make sure children have rights and freedoms and that they know about it. Have inheritance laws that make sure each child gets some money from a well-to-do parent, even if they marry someone poor. Make sure farmers worldwide are well-equipped. Educate folks, treat them as equals (which doesn't happen now).
> It's extremely simple - that's because the people complaining about masks were not in these concentration camps and were not tortured in secret prisons, while it's them who have to wear masks.

You see, that assertion does not pass any smell test. Think about it: any discussion, and complain, regarding the constitutionality of any policy is purely conceptual and abstract, and the conclusion is always absolute: either the constitution is violated, or it isn't.

Therefore, if anyone is honestly worried about the constitutional implications of a policy, they do not care if it affects everyone or even anyone. The discussion is purely conceptual: either the constitution is violated, and thus it must be upheld, or not.

With this in mind, any discussion on extrajudicial imprisonments, violations of the Geneva convention, and even extrajudicial assassinations, feature at the top of any concern.

And not whether you need to wash your hands or wear a face mask.

Think about it: how many times did the constitutionality of jailing people for pooping on the street was discussed in an election? Did fining people for not picking up their dog's poop ever became a divisive political talking point? Did you ever saw radical militant groups threatening with political action for being barred from urinating in public? Never, right?
The only two common sources of vulnerabilities in C are off-by-one and memory allocation bugs (former being a subtype of later).

By defining a strict API for memory allocation and always double-checking your loops, you can almost eliminate these bugs.

I will rather spend time to learn some programming discipline, than learn the monstrosity that is Java.
I didn't say ban. Unless you're for kids drinking at age 9 we're on the same page. And it's more than a few people at this point.

Nobody cares about the source as long as there is consistent profitability.Ego is the enemy most of the time, especially when you are more concerned about being right than about making money.
Removing children from the offending environment would be the best alternative I can think of.

But as others have mentioned that has quite a bit of historical baggage, and of course children and parents would both hate it.

It's only hindsight that teaches us valuable lessons about this kind of stuff, sadly.

I wasn't offering better options, I was just opining a lost youth and denigrating a terrible education system.

But it was "free".
Several good points, and so much to comment on. I will restrict myself to repeat that Java already has several mechanisms to enforce capabilities, and that this is mainly an exercise in API design.

However, the article fails to recognize that Log4j (and probably other libraries) have different capability requirements at different points in time and in code. At startup and when reloading configuration, only access to some severely restricted JNDI lookups should be allowed. Core message formatters and lookups should have minimal privileges. Appenders require access to network and filesystem APIs though!

The capability style presented by TA requires the ability to use of Dependency Injection to properly inject handles that permit access to restricted APIs. This is quite fine in the case of Log4j, which allows programmatic configuration, but it would force developers to give more cababilities than strictly required to more monolithic components!
Bessel van der Kolk's book The Body Keeps the Score is a brilliant and enlightening study of how trauma and all kinds of negative experiences are literally stored in the body as tension, which, when chronic, can become debilitating inflammation and pain.

Van der Kolk noted in his decades of practice that trauma victims, and those who are chronically angry, anxious, wary, etc. are deeply out of touch with their bodies. They were often clumsy and visibly tense, though when asked how their bodies felt, they either couldn't say, or they were just "normal."

He had to first get patients to recognize how their bodies felt, then taught them to relax and change those feelings through various exercises, meditations and practices. When the body started to loosen up, the mind and emotions followed.

Edit Eger, a holocaust survivor turned therapist, found the same things in her decades of practice. Both books spend a lot of time describing the symptoms and problems, and the address healing practices toward the end.

Eger's book is at https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30753738-the-choice

In general, both Buddhist meditation and Yoga address these mind-body issues well, in forms that you can practice as part of your daily life.
Check out The Bible Project on Youtube, they have a lot of great videos on scripture and how to read the books for today.
>But we can be kind, be helpful, try to do as little damage to other people and the world as we can, to find value in things that last and do not cost the world very much, to enjoy our lives regardless of what we do for a living, not because of it.

Wait, that's a vocation, but if you don't have will to set and pursue goals, then you won't pursue them, you will be swayed by other ideas, like not all people being equal for minimization of damage.
Thank you for the clarification, I suppose what I really might is crony capitalist.
I've tried SimulaVR and it just crashes on me, constantly. RTX3090, Valve Index, high end CPU, latest drivers. What's the point of desktop productivity software that just blows up all the time?

Perhaps instead of spending time developing and bringing to market new hardware, fix your software first, there are plenty of hardware vendors already in the market but nobody that I'm aware of is taking Desktop Productivity in VR seriously (yet).
That is misinformation. While the vaccines are generally safe and effective, they are not "completely" safe. There is a small but real risk of serious side effects, particularly myocarditis which has mainly affected young males. The risks from not getting vaccinated are still higher, but let's be straight with parents about the safety profile.

You don’t understand why somebody wouldn’t want to publicly kick the beehive that is the NSA.
I’d imagine He didn’t want to get thrown in the back of a van and disappeared.
Even more mundane punishment could be quite severe.
My iPhone only downloads email when I tell it too, even when it does it sits in the background. If I’m not working why would I read it?

If I’m on call like I’ve been over Christmas, I’ll be called by a manager sufficiently high up enough, with a charge code for me answering the phone (4 hours at time and a half), and explain why it was so important to do so.
My wife and I celebrate winter solstice on the 24th (being solidari to the rest of the world) with a nice tree. We still search for planet ornaments.

We also celebrated the launch of James Webb.
Wow, that's quite a long time. Why did you begin? Are you remorseful you can't find your lists? Did you transition to electronic formats as technology progressed?
Such a loss. If you want to know what a hive mind really is (it’s not how pop culture portrays it), read The Ants. Fascinating book.
What strikes me most is how they clean up these structures and leave empty land, actual earth so it doesn’t end up in a dangerous imploded pile of rubble.

I haven’t been to Detroit and though I’ve read of efforts ti clean up abandoned lots with decrepit housing, most of the abandoned lots and houses are left to succumb to natural deterioration or arson.
Your real world licencing caveat to shatter all NFT game licencing ideas would have been regional pricing, not enterprise or whatever. Because that's what game platforms are already struggling with even without NFTs anywhere near, volume transfer of one-time voucher tokens across price region borders. (the bar to becoming an NFT fanatic seems to be particularly low today?)

Ok I see. I still find that this kind of argument relies on hidden assumptions. By this argument we are saying that Java doesn't actually exist, and it's all C with a fancy DSL. :-)

You could maybe write some kind of translator in C to emit JVM bytecode, and have it recompile itself at runtime. The problem with that line is that it is a lot of work and then to be fair we should allow a similar effort to be applied to a JVM like HotSpot for an apples-to-apples comparison.

Then remember the original thesis, which is that we claimed Java was only faster for specific usecases. That is a very wiggly claim that I bet could nearly always be found true.

Anyway, fun to think about either way.
I doubt you’ll find anything that benefits from the enormous economies of scale that the Raspberry Pi does. If the RPi4 is too expensive, older versions can get the job done, albeit with less performance.
This isn't new. I first learned about Sierpinski triangles with this algortihm in the early 90s. Later, I learned how it can be generalised to IFS and opened my eyes to much more interesting examples. I think there's even an entire chapter on this specific algorithm in Barnsley's Fractals Everywhere book.
I'll take a stab at defining "spiritual", at least the way I understand it. I think of it as a "recipe" or pattern for something in reality. A little bit related to Plato's "forms" but not exactly. "Recipe" is a better way to think of it. In traditional cosmology, they used the word "heaven" to refer to "patterns" or "recipes" or "seeds". A seed is another good way to think of it. A seed is tiny and contains the recipe or pattern for the thing it will grow into.

In traditional cosmology, if you have "heaven", you also have "earth", which means potential, or chaos, or unorganized matter. Or if we want to keep the "recipe" metaphor, this would be the "ingredients".

So we have a recipe (the spiritual pattern) and we have the ingredients (matter), and we combine the ingredients using the recipe (we are co-creating with God) a new substance. We transform the ingredients into a new object (bread, in our case) which gets a new name, because it is related to the ingredients, but is now unified by being transformed as we co-create a new object with God. Each new object is slightly different (a "particular"), but it's following a pattern or recipe, so we still recognize it as a particular example of a pattern we call "bread".

This same pattern of "heaven" and "earth" applies to seeds and soil, or an idea and a project, or a film script and a film. This is what is meant when traditional cultures and books speak of "heaven" and "earth".

So to live a "spiritual" life would mean to seek out and learn to identify "patterns" and to manifest them bodily by acting them out or by transforming matter to make a new object. Which is what all humans do all day every day, but our materialist minds have been blinded to how essential and common this is to the human experience, because we get caught up trying to "scientifically" understand what "heaven" is, but heaven is an ontological category, not a scientific place.

Just two posts above is an example of someone who got let go from their new job when they found that he signed a non-compete at his previous job. Easy enough to bounce back from in the right labor market, not so easy in others.
What types of data do you store in that spreadsheet one-liner, out of curiosity?
I am not religious at all and I've thought of myself as tolerant of religion (they all have some very good teachings, after all).

But lately organised religion has been bothering me a lot. It is just so obviously a form of controlling people: you have to believe this and that and also hand over some cash and vote for such and such.

I can't get around the fact that this still goes on so blatantly in this day and age.
I'm encountering issues with the GitHub API too.
I am in your camp. I began life in a high demand religion, spent two years as a missionary and a decade in local congregation leadership positions.

When I saw how the community was treating marginalized people, because I got to know several, I looked in the mirror and realized I couldn't support it anymore. Leaving was hard, as the community would not allow you to leave with your dignity intact, but worth it.

I fluttered between different communities for a few months before realizing I was just solidly apatheist (deist or atheist, just don't really care one way or another) and an existentialist. We have fantastic opportunities at our disposal and they are what we make of them.
First, thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts. Blackbox integration tests are definitely the ultimate goal here. I think tool works as a request library on teams where the typical QA is comfortable with terminal/yaml. Where I work the QA team is already scared of Postman so it'll need a UI probably for them. I have some ideas on reducing how much scripting is needed (expectations was the first, but for custom scripting probably some global interceptor type thing will work), since that'll easily be the most complex part of the tool's use. Pre/post request hooks were one option I had in mind also, so I'm glad to hear it echoed here.
I am a nihilist, my spiritual practice is to live without lying to myself.
It means that "hosting" your own email really means hosting your inbox, and only your inbox. Because "the bigs" have basically monopolized sending email, you will tire of working through everyone blocking email from your 2-bit server. You will cave, and eventually use one of those "bigs" to do the sending half of "hosting your own email." Which means they will "see" and index all your email anyway, which WAS THE POINT most of us were TRYING TO PREVENT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I gave up about 8 years ago, and gave everything to Apple.
Sound awesome! Looks like you invested a lot, e.g. inference batch is not easy at all.
Few follow up questions:
- Do you really retrieve embedding on every batch? Doesn't it make sense to keep them in memory (must not be more than few gigs)?
- Do you have/plan to incorporate inference feedback loop for retraining? Or you call it metric as well?

Thanks for an answer!
Not to be snarky but why do you think this can't be seen as spiritual?

What's the real difference?

Even if you think believing in the spaghetti monster is just a joke, it does the SE thing as other believes: it units you with other believers, it gives you an answer and it gives you structure.

It's not your place to evaluate your belie e against others.

After all I have never seen someone who actually follows Jesus Christ and does what he apparently in there believe system did.
Indeed. Anyone who has worked with Haskell knows.
Admittedly these are preprint studies, but it seems the analogy with bulletproof vests doesn't hold:

In the morning, I think while drinking coffee. Then I really think in the shower. As a result I take long showers. Sometimes during the day, I'll sit back and think. While going to bed, I'll think some more.

Usually I think about problems to solve, reflect on my life so far, course adjustments, things to self improve.

One day I'll pick up a religion, but it seems like they all would require a lot of mental gymnastics to keep consistent with my mental explorations. Ultimately I think religions are useful as a tutorial on how to live a good life, but like tutorials, they don't always apply super well to your own particulars. So my parallel track is to think hard about the stuff I'm missing that a religion would provide. E.g meditative time, family matters, behaviours, habits.

But science moves so fast that a lot if religious habits are really out of date, so I have little hope to find a religion in the future. I wish there was a "Debian Sid" religion: not quite Gentoo uptodate but not too CentOS outofdate.

You might be interested in the free Personal Capital app which can juggle investment accounts, credit cards, and checking accounts all in one app. I tried a few of these including Wealthfront and Personal Capital worked the best for me. They make money selling financial advice so you might get a couple of phone calls early on, but they seem to have stopped calling me.
There's not much point in spiritual practices if you don't believe in some truth behind them. Instead of focusing on practices, focus on finding truth (I believe it can be found about God). Truth will lead to practices.

Interesting word choice, especially for a fact checker.
That is not the correct definition of a vaccine. Nobody would say that about a polio or diphtheria vaccine. COVID shots should NEVER have been called a vaccine.

They are instead similar to seasonal flu shots. Flu shots do not prevent spreading, their main advantage is reduce hospitalization and death.
I'm an atheist, and don't believe in anything spiritual.

But I do think there are things that inspire me, make me feel connected to the world around me, and make me think. I love philosophy and history and I am constantly reading new things, but I especially like the wisdom of the stoics. I try to go for a walk daily, and I live where I can go hiking in the forest, along rivers, and around rugged coastlines. But mostly I just contemplate and see where my mind takes me.
The satellite based WiFi used on commercial aircraft do this, with some on-demand content cached on the aircraft. I think they also "tape-delay" some of the live stuff to deal with short fade-outs. Google around for DVB-S2 and DVB-S2X.
It's a strong assertion that we need a God. Rituals, yes, they bind communities. But they need not be tied to morality.
I'll mention: What's being discussed is a hobbyist device. It's a particular bad hobbyist device, since it doesn't actually give any room to tinker and explore. It's a all pre-baked.

A dSLR isn't a great bring-along device; that's a cell phone. They're surprisingly competitive at this point. An RX100-style camera will also outperform even a modern dSLR with kit lens as well, in auto. The dSLR will only inch ahead once you buy lenses (or other accessories like lighting).

A dSLR is for when you want to pursue photography as a hobby. If you're going out for a walk in the park? Cell phone. If you're going out in a walk to find and shoot photos of animals? dSLR. Taking photos of the kids? Cell phone. Setting up lights for butterfly lighting and posing kids? dSLR.

It's like skis -- you don't take them along unless you're going skiing, and if you compare them shoes, they'll seem awfully impractical as a transportation device.

I'll mention: For focus, you can buy classic split prism focus screens and retrofit them into most dSLRs. At least a few years ago, they were like 20 bucks. That's a really nice weekend parent-child activity.
It’s worth noting the disclaimer on that paper:

Muslim here. Ritual prayer is the core exercise. Before sunrise, after sunset, and 3 other times during the day. But as important or more so is constant remembrance of God. If that's not institutionalized in one's day-to-day psychology, one will lose spiritual momentum, if we can use such terminology. "Worship" in Arabic عبادة actually means something like "conformity to God's order", as far as I understand. So even eating an apple becomes a spiritual exercise when done with knowledge of why and doing so for God's sake, even as its sole beneficiary seems to be oneself.
