> The Yerkes–Dodson law refers to an inverted U-shaped relationship between performance and arousal, where performance increases with arousal, but only up to a certain point.

The quest to discover and apply "laws" like this courts disaster or disruption because people are neurodiverse. ADHD people respond to deadlines in a completely different way to non ADHD - sometimes inversely, sometimes obversely, and so require different management. Same but different with autistic spectrum people, introverts, extroverts, bipolar, insomnia, sleep apneates, diabetics and long covids.

It may be tempting to dismiss neurodiversity as a fringe consideration and just assume most people are "normal", but their circumstances, both in the workplace and beyond it, may complicate Yerkes-Dodson as much as neurodiversity whilst evading detection by managers and systems.

It's not so much that Europe and China will "side" against the US, as they will not care enough about Russia's actions to deter them from trading with Russia. Europe will obviously care a lot more about Russia's aggression, but they are going through major energy price pains right now and they likely won't stomach further supply decreases by stopping gas trade with Russia.

My rule of thumb is that for decision-making roles, you want financial compensation to at least match the 'status compensation' (respect, status, etc). When the vast majority of the role's compensation comes via the _prestige_ of being a member of congress, you're bound to get weird results.
Are you 100% focused all the time when you're at work? I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect that kind of focus from anyone at any job. If they're getting their work done, I don't see the harm in trading stocks ASSUMING they are playing by the rules, i.e., not insider trading.

That is why it may be better to evaluate the statement "college improve your lot using median outcomes" using outcomes for college graduates that do not come from wealth and that are not skilled enough to get into top-tier universities on merit (use median to avoid outlier sub-groups skewing the average).

Basically, if you do not already have a force multiplier is the reward of college worth the huge loan that can't be dismissed in bankruptcy?

Yes, I highly recommend it. You can express your broadcast in a nice functional DSL. We are running a community radio and use it there in production for couple of years now.[0] (Ours linked is a very suboptimal solution but performs w/o any hiccup even though we got some pretty specific constraints.) We could've gotten many more mileage out of it, if we really would have had the time to focus on creating libs and functions for our specific needs as the API is really powerful, the docs are a good read. Also, on a more subjective note: It's developed by nice guys and even if some built-ins fail from time-to-time since there's no real rush to update we can help test w/ them & give some input on features.

I've got fond (drunk) memories of training a Bayesian spam filter to play chess 15+ years ago, so I was also expecting Copilot to actually play a game. Thanks to your sibling commenter __alexs for doing so.

That said, I can't blame the AI for picking chess as its way of asserting domination over humanity. "No human has beaten a computer in a chess tournament in 15 years."

My guess was the DOM, too. But why does the DOM only exist in the web UI tech stack? There aren’t analogous constructs in other UI stacks (e.g., Windows Presentation Foundation), are there?

The difference between our views is that I want government insiders to trade on their information, as long as their trades are soon publicized, so that the information is quickly incorporated into market prices. Slowing down their trading by making them wait a week interferes with that.

F#'s "Computation expressions" are the same sort of thing as the mentioned Haskell's "do notation" and Scala's "for comprehension". They're just thin syntactic sugar for "callbacks" -- chaining maps/binds/flatmaps/etc. Even though F#'s "Computation expressions" are very cleverly thought out and more general.

I think compassion is better than empathy because it gives you the space to not care about someone's angle while understanding where they might be coming from. Usually, fear and confusion.
What does this drivel even mean? Everyone likes to be paid. Everyone does not like to pay. Digital technology has eliminated media scarcity. Some people want to artificially create scarcity so that other people are forced to pay them. Fortunately it is pretty obvious to most people that there is no real advantage to anyone in society to artificially create this scarcity.

Yes and I have met it once when at a huge Telco, while doing my bastion host in AWS a security architect installed this and used Keycloak as the policy engine to allow connections using SSH keys.

correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like greens are strictly more valuable than yellows, so giving them equal weight doesn't make much sense to me.
They aren't necessarily trading on the clock. Just making trades based on information nobody else has that they only have access to because of their job.
TV, radio, and newspaper ads are also local. They do not have international reach. Would ads be useful to you in Russian or Chinese? Would the company paying for the ads find it useful that you get those ads? No, they wouldn't, but on the internet without data everyone would get all of the ads.
It has been proven multiple times, that already very well paid company managers, will accept bribes for small amounts of money and petty motives.

Integrity is not connected to how well someone is paid. Reckless behavior for minor motives that makes people risk careers of years, family responsibilities, seems the norm for some individuals.

I collect these cases, as they fascinate me on what they say about human nature.

I am still trying to find out if these individuals end up on those roles because of that unhinged behavior, or getting into these roles is what intoxicates their
moral judgement, despite many years of successfully running professional careers.

In other words, your strategy will not work.
I absolutely think this should be banned but they (and their staffers) don't have real workplaces. Sure, there's the office but a ton of their work is meetings, talking to constituents, travel between their district and DC, etc. and many of them put in 80+ hour workweeks. Trying to put them in the bucket of an average 9-5 person with a set workspace doesn't work.
Agreed. A salary that would allow them a decent quality of life while having to maintain at least 2 residences (DC and their home district) is absolutely required. Money is deferred time: we want politicians to focus fully on serving the people not trying to balance their household budgets.

The cheaters are going to cheat anyways. The politicians who are inclined to do the right thing: let’s make it easier for them.
Whoa! Everything about this is wild
It's slightly more than that. Russia (Putin) can't stand a successful democracy on his border, especially one that used to be in the USSR. For some reason, he ignores Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. But Ukraine? It's a direct threat to Putin's power if it is successful as a real democracy, if it turns toward the west. Not just because it diminishes Russia's sphere of influence, but because it shows a path that Russians could take - a path that leaves Putin not at the top of "the vertical of power".
I think you're mixing up your branches. Congressmen are legislators, not executives. How much does a board member cost? :)
Pretty much all of those are nicer than any house I have ever lived in, lol.
or just make the consequences for abusing power so drastic that power hungry psychopaths don't run for public office which would be far more effective. The main reason congress is corrupt is because they make the rules and know they will only ever get a slap on the wrist.

Make any form of corruption by congress automatic death penalty and congress would clean itself up pretty quick because the type of scum who go into politics to make money would look for easier targets where their life isn't at risk

Of course the problem with this is who enforces the law and how do you stop them from being corrupt themselves. The obvious answer to the root problem is to have the smallest government possible to limit centralization of power and ability for mass corruption
> That kind of summed up my experience with SICP for learning scheme.

I never really considered SICP to be about learning Scheme / lisp and rather about how to think about various programming concepts.

I was actually thinking about this earlier today when I saw the revised version based on javascript. Personally I liked the fact that SICP used Scheme, a language I never use, as an example, because it took away any preconceptions I had about how to do things in the language, and let me focus on learning the concepts. I'm interested to see how that translates to javascript

Actually these days there are many posts of people who are making double that.
I worked for a borderline sociopath for nearly 6 years. He would bare face lie to you, knowing you knew he was lying to you, and require you to agree with him or face the sack. He would set you up to fail with a client, telling you a pack of lies about a job, so he could wade in after you'd stuff up and 'save the day'. So you had to do two jobs, what the client actually wanted and the fake task he'd set you. It used to annoy the hell out of him when the clients reported they were really happy with my work.

I stayed there that long because I had a really thick skin and the benefits of staying far outweighed leaving. I rationalised that he could sack me tomorrow, but every day I got more experience and satisfied clients. In the end he was the cause of too many other people leaving, seeding so many mortal enemies into the industry at quite high levels, he tried to blame me for 'white anting' him, but finally sacked me, that backfired spectacularly and the company folded soon after.

I managed to pick up a great job off the back of what I'd done at that company so it worked out really well.

I dealt with it with a thick skin. I did feel empathy towards someone who must have been treated very badly some time in their early life, could not bring themselves to trust their staff and felt compelled to lie even when the truth would have been OK. What a terrible burden to carry for someone who was quite well off.

In hindsight I should have left, but personal circumstances at the time limited that option.
This makes perfect sense to me and there are oversight bodies within congress, the folks on the house modernization committee could probably whip up a tool too. Just has to be the will to do so & I'm not sure there's enough outrage on the issue.
The problem isn't that they're doing something other than their job, it's that they have insider information, and they're using that insider information to buy and sell stocks.
It's not obvious to me that there would be a loss of precision. If you are a farmer, you check the solar calendar and plan activities based on that. For your daily work, you still have the normal 24hour day.

But we do all sort of dumb time related things:
- day light savings
- leap seconds, days, years

Some places too close to the poles don't have normal day/night cycles of light. So we already tolerate a lot of weird time stuff. This way we keep tolerating it and get rid of the calculations.

You can avoid virtually all friction by sidestepping shared mutable references altogether and writing your GTK application in a more idomatic Rust way. For example, instead of passing shared references of application state to every widget signal, you can pass async Rust channels to signals. You can spawn a single async event loop attached to GLib's main context that listens for events sent from those signals, and manage all your widgets and application state in one place.

There's some libraries that effectively automate GTK in this way, such as relm4.

Why not leverage the power of technology?
No. Hell no. Elected office is a sacrifice and a duty. It is not a way to make a living. Thats how you end up with dinosaurs working those halls for 68 years.

I have a better idea.

1)Fix salary at 2x poverty wage.

2) make house members 1:50,000 representation to their county (yes that means the house would explode to 8000 elected officials)

3) tax any earnings above their pre-office historical income avg, at say 98%. No ones lives off the taxpayer and no ones lives off favors given.

If they want to serve. They serve.
The country would be far better off if congress shut down because they have DAY jobs to perform to keep their families fed.

If they cant make ends meet with their basic salary, they dont know sacrifice. If they dont know sacrifice shouldn't be running for office.

I remember reading an anecdote on Reddit about a child commenting on how Katy Perry was pretty, only to be argued with by her (very overweight) mother and aunt. The two adults then attempted to persuade the child by arguing that Katy Perry was _underweight_ and being underweight is unhealthy and therefore, unattractive. The little girl, however could not be dissuaded—‘Katy Perry is pretty.’

That story, like this article, illustrates that qualities which are attractive either are or aren’t. An article convincing the reader why something is or is not attractive is as needful as an article explaining why a particular joke is funny—if it needs as explanation (or persuasive argument), the author has already proved themselves wrong.
Seems completely understandable that YouTube removed it. For people who didn't watch it, the guy made a prank title "drinking hydroxic acid" (which is water) but I can completely understand why youtube doesn't want anything with "drinking acid" in a video title that even vaguely resembles actual acids.

Plenty of youtube viewers are literal 12 year old children who don't even bother to read the description. "nobody will do anything stupid" doesn't really seem plausible to me when we have adults killing themselves with fish tank cleaner because they confuse it for anti-viral meds

Webkit has 246,027 commits

now multiply that by 8 and you get an idea of how obscolete webkit is regarding human resources.

The "like" here is strange, and I'd argue erroneous; remove it.

Then the "as to", while correct, isn't an obvious construction. It's often paired with "curious" to help transition the sentence a bit, but it's wordy and unnecessary here. For the sake of reading, ignore it.

Then it becomes:

The original text is probably written by someone who doesn't do a lot of writing, as it reads how someone might talk. I'm no expert by any means but I'm moderately aware of my own struggle with this exact problem, enough to see it in others' writing.
> It seems clear to me that there is an optimal starting word, but that the best second word has to depend on the info you gain from the first.

Definitely. The likelihood of a letter appearing in a given place changes depending on the letters around it. A Q will almost always be followed with a U, for example.

I wrote a script yesterday which spits out the relative probabilities of possible letters in each unknown position, given the current known/excluded letters -- it was interesting to see the effect in action.
Yes it is an example of the marshmallow test, but not in the way you think. You failed the test, and the people you mock passed it. They are willing to make sacrifices in the present in order to create a better future, while you chase instant gratification.

>Google(search) and YouTube Ads rely on content you're being served to actually target ads, that's much more relevant and drives higher click-though rates.

Then how come I get ads in my native language despite almost never watching or searching for content in my native language? Obviously ads in my native language are more useful, because I might actually partake in those services. Walmart advertising to me would never matter, because I will never be able to get to a Walmart.

For a 3 year old, the important things are to make sure she knows she can come to you any time she feels uncomfortable. Also, there's no need to go into detail about it being a sex thing; you should approach it with the same level of detail you do the 'don't trust strangers' conversation. I knew that nobody should touch my private parts and mouth kissing was for grown-ups, like coffee, and if anybody tried, I should go find other adults + tell them. I couldn't have told you anything about why somebody would do that; I just knew there were bad grown ups, and that's about the level you're working with at 3 years old. There are bad grown ups (like whatever bad person in TV shows she watches), and if you find one, go get a good grown up right away. Emphasize most people are good and it's very rare, like how everybody in the family practices for a fire, and that we all watch out for one another. That sort of thing. (I don't know your parenting philosophy.)

I'm assuming you have a neurotypical, potty-trained 3 year old; it's more complex when things like toilet-help are involved, I know.
I settled on Scheme because I want to understand the benefits of Lisp. I haven't done SICP but it uses Scheme so I decided to just go through the book and learn what's great about both
I find roguelites tend to have really bad progression systems. Most of the progress doesn’t help, a few things at the end are super broken, and if you’re good enough to beat the game somewhat fast you’re left with an enormous grind if you want to every see the other stuff but no actual progress left to achieve. Just repetition.

Binding of Isaac was a pretty good progression, but it spawned a subgenre of poorly balanced systems and I hate it.

People now think one of the defining features of rogue likes are huge variance and rng based outcomes for god tier runs where no skill is required. Meh.

> UI/UX is hard enough to begin with, but requiring devs to either maintain several UI/UXs, or try and come up with a design that works across the proliferation of DEs is highly counterproductive.

Very few developers actually attempt to do this, on any platform— virtually none, as far as I can tell. It's slightly more common on macOS for developers to actually try to emulate or reuse the design language and look-and-feel of the base system. But on every platform, it's extremely common for GUI apps to just throw the design language and other details of platforms they run on completely out the window. It's the M.O. for the most popular cross-platform toolkit right now (Electron). For every app that maintains multiple UIs, there are at least ten that do that, maybe a hundred!

Besides, COSMIC doesn't use a new graphical toolkit. It uses GTK+, just like GNOME.
