Yeah, the review process for something like this is realistically that some maintainers look at the changes made to their specific subsystems, and if none of them spot problems you assume that the patchset as a whole is systemically correct. If any of them do spot problems that aren't entirely trivial then it gets more complicated.
Sure. My problem isn't with the direction of the arguments but their lack of substance.
This all happened because Trump dubbed it the China virus at the beginning and brought up specific treatments like Hydroxychloroquine. The political climate in America was such that just those two stances coming from Trump established the dividing line. We had no chance from the beginning to discuss this without the political shadow.

The accessory to all of this was the vaccine/lab origin censorship by big tech, who are kind of seen as over-woke liberal bastions.

To lockdown or not lockdown, to mask or not mask, to vaxx or not vaxx, to Ivermectin or not Ivermectin, lab leak or no lab leak … why so binary? Ah, because we went political with this a long time ago.

If there was one person we needed to literally not say anything about this, it was Trump. But alas, he was the fucking president and we also needed him to say something.

The Pandemic histrionics are an age old Shakespearean play. A tragedy.

History is something else when you have the primary sources right before you. I would never need to read a book on all the nuances of everything that happened. Makes you wonder how easily historians can spin history in all those books, when in reality those events could have been as simple and silly as this one.
>and a lot of people prefer it.

If this in true then why do so few projects use a mailing list nowadays instead of something like github.

>Every machine can do plaintext email.

Every machine can do web browsing too. More people have used a web browser on their computer than a dedicated email client (as opposed to a web app like gmail).

>As opposed to login into to a bespoke web interface

You have to log in to email too.

>mainly primarily designed to be friendly to novice users.

What's wrong with that? Having good UX is a win. The UX for creating a new repo on github is a million times better than creating a mailing list (yes I have set up a mailing list for a project I made and no one e ended up using it except for me. Meanwhile I had much more success with getting people to join and discuss the project via Discord)
So my point exactly… it’s not catastrophic… it’s just shitty.

“Nearly accident” is the same as “not an accident” and definitely not: catastrophic .
I was in this exact situation. I received a phone call from my midwives, saying that my son had tested positive for one of these disorders, and that these tests aren’t usually wrong. Fortunately I had done my research and knew that the false positive rate is high. But the entire system is set up to provide a terrible experience.

Your results are sent directly to your provider, so you can’t read the fine print yourself. And if you do get access to the results, the wording implies that a null result (not enough DNA collected) actually means you’re likely to have some disorder. In fact the wording here actually got worse in the three years between my two (healthy) births.

Ideally these companies should require genetic counseling before you take the test. Parents should understand that these tests are for screening purposes only, and that a definitive diagnosis can’t be gotten until 16-20 weeks. Unfortunately these companies have found a niche- parents wanting to know the sex and health of their children as soon as possible- and have no real reason to improve their practices.
What do you suggest as an alternative? Index the internet yourself? Web search as a public utility?
Yeah... Unfortunately.

The key word is equity.
I share the same feelings. After covid hit I learned that I am not that self-sufficient and I need “the world” to recognize my work. Problem is that, WFH makes it harder to prove yoursef, so I just work my brains off and hope that someday I will prove myself out there.
Other thing is that I like to do a lot of “solo” stuff — play guitar, work on side projects, etc. and this does not get along well with family dinners or being in a hotel somewhere.
If I do not work at least couple hours a day, even weekends I get really grumpy.
I always have some goals and projects to do, ever since a teenager, so I do not think I can and want to change.
I have issue with the massive cost in other peoples lives you seem to be ok throwing away with such pronouncements.

We have to FIX our system, not make it worse.
The reality of trying to force our entire civilization to commit mass suicide is a slow horrible intensification of all that is wrong with the world.

I've found that searching for a subreddit related to whatever hobby is a fine way to go. People are showing off their creations & results and chatting about recommendations for equipment & techniques.

When I am researching something I often use this filter:

Depends on the campaign. The major Chinese vaccines are “inactivated” and might pressure things differently than our spike-protein focussed viruses in the west.

It does imply that... Nowadays, unfortunately. This is bad, because "connect to my phone via bluetooth and I can download an app" is often not a very smart way at all to do something.

What is the relevance of conspiracy theories here? Boston Globe in on what? Not sure what minimizing the threat means.

It's a thought-terminating cliché that has the useful side effect of getting everyone to talk about the sociopolitics of authoritarism or the Cuban Missile Crisis or anything other than the fact that modern industrial society doesn't have to be as polluting as it is.
Took me twenty seconds to click through and determine that the concluding sentences of the abstract in the first link Domingos uses to prove his point, actually does the opposite.

"This suggests that preference for women among identically-qualified applicants found in experimental studies and in audits does not extend to women whose credentials are even slightly weaker than male counterparts. Thus these data give no support to the twin claims that weaker males are chosen over stronger females or weaker females are hired over stronger males."

To me this reads like they concluded that affirmative action (bias towards women among identically qualified candidates) is not occuring at the expense of merit.
It’s ridiculously obvious when people have seen the question before.

The way we do it is like this: we have like 3 or 4 different small variations on each question. Such that the solution is measurably different, in quite telling ways, but that the given problem looks almost identical.

In one specific case the given is identical, but there are 3 variations to the question based on how the candidate asks questions about it (if they don’t ask questions the question is not possible to solve as we don’t give all of the information you need.)

We started doing it this way precisely because we kept running into people who would have 3 nearly perfect interviews and one “hard fail”, and we eventually realized it was because they were so good at faking that they’d seen it before but if they hadn’t seen it before they bombed it hard.

So now that we have the “variations”, at least once a month someone will “hard fail” the interview because they’re obviously cheating and will quite literally give the right answer to the wrong question, just rote memorizing it.

It’s an arms race. And one that I enjoy.

Are there any kind of financial support programs for people with depression?

I feel like I'm stuck in this trap where I am not healthy enough to endure full time employment, but I don't have enough income to pay for treatment.

I expect there might be government services available, but I'm dubious of their efficacy.

What I'd love is some sort of grant program where the goal is to help intelligent semi-effective people improve themselves by healing their depression.
I have a relative, who, every three or four years, decided that this time her bipolar disorder really was cured! And so she’d stop taking her medication and feel really, really good for a few months. And then the inevitable crash happened and she spent a few months in hospital.

The last time was different though. In her seventies, her body couldn’t take the strain again. And now she’s in a long term care facility for dementia, probably for the rest of her life — fortunately close for her husband. Moral of the story: if you want to go off your meds, make sure a doctor is keeping an eye on you. No matter how good the good times feel.

I feel exactly the way you described. And considering that I'm on a self-improvement track and have a few books like this to read, adding the day to day life (job, family, other skills, etc) to the mix makes me wonder what's the best way to ingurgitate 250 pages or 11 hours-long audio. Especially when you quickly notice the (almost) same thing is being repeated over and over.

Summaries like this one are a godsend, I'll look for the same for other similar books.

Aside from being unable to be researched, to the point of being effectively unknowable: it's actually completely irrelevant. Where covid came from is meaningless now. Take any hypothesis you may have about its origins: you can't explain why it might matter today, in any way whatsoever.

Covid is here and we have to cope with it. It's just our stupid monkey brains that thrive on x did y to z narratives that are demanding answers, as if they were in any way relevant.
Would here possible go PG route and do those thing that do not scale. Meaning building very curated list and doing intedexing and searching against that eg searches for programmers(stackoverflow, github and official documentation).
Coming from a similar background as you (reluctant Catholic kid, now agnostic, seeking greater social connection), after attending a couple Quaker services over the years I've been strongly considering going regularly (alas, Covid).

The service is very unlike other Christian rites. There is no priest, and anyone can speak. I remember long stretches of silence in contemplation, punctuated with a thoughtful couple sentences here and there from someone more spiritual than me.

Importantly, it's also my understanding many Quaker meetings openly accept atheists and agnostics, among a diversity of beliefs. See https://nontheistfriends.org/
Back in the day I both edited Wikipedia and helped maintain a MediaWiki installation. I found learning wiki markup (and the subtleties of the template engine in particular) quite challenging on the frontend, and the backend was even worse.

The inaccessibility of the software is (was?) widely acknowledged as a significant barrier to new contributors by the project itself. I didn’t think this was especially dramatic or controversial.
I’ve never been a founder or a VC, so I don’t really know, but happy to speculate :)

I’d imagine it depends on the company, and “how are you going to spend the money” is something you’d discuss with VCs before the investment goes through.

I think the strong majority of the time, VCs want you to pump the money into the business to drive immediate hyper growth. They want to identify businesses that can soak up VC money and make good use of it … like Google, FB, etc. Most companies can’t, the money drives just moderate growth and a lot of inefficiency, but they want to do this test to see if they’ve struck gold. If you agree to do this, then don’t, new CEO time.

But I think there’s some companies that are clearly big, long term product bets. Where they know the runway has to be long, and years of product development has to happen before major growth. For example, I’m guessing if you’re a series A investor in something like CockroachDB, Tesla, SpaceX, you’re a bit more “yeah, take your time, spend this over 5+ years.” But that’s an anomaly, not the norm.

No. Scroll down to "Excess mortality", look at 15-44 and 45-64 years graphs. The light blue line is 2021. It shows an upward trend that goes way beyond the ranges for 2020 and 2019.

I recently interviewed with a startup. They had "outsourced" the first round to a 3rd party firm that specializes in taking tech interviews (Mostly Algorithm rounds).

The interviewer posted an LC question and asked me to read it. Since I was already logged into my LC account, he first asked me to show if I had solved it. I said I did. He then posted 9-10 LC questions one by one, all of which I had solved (I was doing LC regularly then). In the end he got tired, and posted a question from another website (Hackerearth) which I hadn't solved. We ended up taking ~5 minutes just going through different LC questions and he was disappointed that I had solved all of them.

I have also faced situations where I have seen an LC question that I solved but couldn't solve it in an interview setting, mostly because of the pressure.
Trump is less the cause as he is the symptom. America has allowed politics to dominate the concept of identity to the point that no one can argue for anything without effectively attacking someone's idea of self.

This is incredibly dangerous and at this point I don't know what it takes to diffuse it. I thought Biden winning the US election would help and admittedly it has but by much less than I envisioned.

Unfortunately US politics spill over into the rest of the world through media syndication, doesn't help Murdoch owning almost all conservative media in US/UK/Australia...
This means this extreme politicisation while birthed in America is spreading around the world.

I strongly believe this is the real threat. The pandemic just showed us how dangerous it can be.

Macros are not generics even though you can use them as such. Macros define new statements (and definitions for the languages that make a distinction). This allows you to extend the language to the specific domain and it's impossible to do with functions/generics in general case.
Skills such as design patterns etc do matter. There are separate rounds for testing just that, think Design rounds (LLD or HLD) but you usually have to pass the Algorithm rounds before to get to that stage.

There’s a street in Tokyo known as "JK alley", or "schoolgirl alley", from the Japanese Joshi Kosei, meaning high school girl.
There, teenagers in school uniform sell their time to passers-by, while their minders hover in the background.
Men pay to hold hands, go for a walk or have a cup of coffee with the girls. Some even pay to sleep on a girl's lap.
This is all legitimate, above board and legal.
Japan is also home to 300 "JK cafes", where adult men pay to hang out with underage girls (the age of consent in Japan is 18).

Until 2014 child pornography was legal to own in Japan. The law has changed, but the sexualisation of minors continues.
"Chaku Ero", which means "erotically clothed" is a kind of soft porn - it doesn’t involve nudity, but it can get very, very close and is often overtly sexual.

The Incredible Fig
Emphasizing the person of "Trump" just seems to feed into this. It's possible that any officeholder would have inspired similar political responses when confronted by a disease for which plausible responses include "shut down most commerce" and "provide health care to more citizens than currently receive it". It might be fun to limit our blame to one particular odious politician, but if the institutions that amplify political hysteria are left unexamined then it's not really instructive.
I was feeling this way. I missed being busy and wanted to get back to feeling productive.

Yesterday changed that and I'd give anything to be bored again.

Yesterday we took our two dogs to the river for a walk. Two men got into trouble in the water, I jumped in to help. All I could do was help another man get free of one of the drowning men.

The fellow rescuer couldn't breathe with the panicking man grabbing him and the current pulling them both under. If I'd been first too them I'm sure I'd be dead as the other rescuer was in much better shape than me.

So I helped a man get free of another man's desperate struggle for life. I watched as two men died a few meters from me. In front of their family. A woman asked my wife why we weren't helping them. It was her husband and father.

The water was too dangerous, the men too panicked, and I was too unfit.

Emergency services recovered three bodies from that river. A woman and her daughter had drowned in the same spot a week ago. The woman's body was found by the divers looking for the two men.

I long to go back to being bored.

To affirm you experience, the meds can most certainly have the effects you are witnessing. There’s a few gems of the stories told in Dopamine Nation including of the author that touch on this topic about antidepressants and the side effects. It’s worth having her dose and medication examined much closer by the right professional in your country (I’m in the US and know the system best here). If you need any help navigating, I’m pretty easy to get in touch with and happy to help point you and/or your partner in the right direction along with any supplemental information that may help.
Fiction books could likely be compressed the same way, but what's the fun in that? Non-fiction books shouldn't necassarily aim for being as concise as possible, there's value in a more enduring lecture even if the core content is the same, imo.

For books like Atomic Habits in particular, I enjoyed the length, as it allowed me to read that book for a longer period of time, and practice what it was teaching (which lead to habit development). Had been a 50 word tweet, I would've never bothered - but it being interspersed with motivational tales and other filler, I found it far more effective in actually getting me practicing what it taught.
> Why stop there? It can be a challenge to have a kid who is ADHD, or is susceptible to depression or mental illness, or a different sexual orientation, etc. It’s not wrong to abort those children either, right?

But we don't stop there. The bar is considerably lower than "the kid might have problems".

The mother, exclusively, can decide whether or not she wants to proceed with the pregnancy through to birth, and she doesn't need a reason other than "I don't feel like it". All those reasons you gave are still better than "I don't fell like it", and you somehow think that those are the wrong reasons?

>"The whole lifecycle of nuclear power has been inventoried...

But if they didn't do the same for solar panels (materials mining, manufacture, manufacturing infrastructure, transportation and installation, decommissioning, etc.), it's a horrendously biased concept.

Also, determining a lifecycle of a nuclear plant is a crapshoot. Modern designs that can be replicated at scale will have much more production per unit of deployment cost than the one-off botch designs like those implemented in California by PGE and SMUD.
