No, you don’t, because this is a common journalistic shorthand in English. The article is not reporting truth. It’s reporting that someone claims to have identified it. That distills to a shorthand verb “identified” in journalism a lot, which is not saying “the abstract truth of our existence has established this as so,” it’s saying “such and such group has claimed this is that”.

If you think OP is misleading you through omission, again, this is a nuance of journalism that you’re overlooking (and possibly fair for you to overlook because it might be an English-specific thing, I’m unsure). The correct way to read OP’s headline is “someone claims X can be identified as Y”. Again, and please understand this point this time, identified is almost always implicitly prefixed by “someone claims to have”. Once you truly understand that point you’ll realize it’s impossible for you to be misled here.

“Body identified as so-and-so” even occasionally changes as more information becomes available. It’s rare, but it does. The verb “to identify” is strongly distinct from “to be” and is centered on the idea that someone is reporting their conclusion which is often opinion. If you think you’re being misled, you’re reading it as “to be,” which is a dangerous idea to carry through the world of news in many ways.
Trader Joe's definitely benefits from people walking the aisles. They put all kinds of interesting new products right next to staples so you are more inclined to buy it. If I could just browse the product offering online, I'd be able to just pick exactly what I needed and wouldn't be checking out with some new dip, cheese, beverage, or pasta sauce that had piqued my interest.
It can be drastically different from team to team.

After I joined Amazon in 2007, I referred a friend from Uni who joined a few years later.

I had a fairly laid back experience - after a good start, I became depressed and burned out, but somehow none of my managers seemed to care all that much since I was at least getting some stuff done, until I finally got put on a PIP several years in - which I think was probably deserved, although the handling around it was crap. And even then, when that manager moved to a new team, my new manager told me I was doing fine and not to worry about it.

My friend, on the other hand, who was the most diligent and hard working of my entire friends group in Uni, was assigned to a different team a few desks over. She fell afoul of stack ranking (the idea that you should rank everybody in a team and fire the worst) and was pressured until she quit.

I also heard a bunch of horror stories from devs across the company - unreasonable deadlines, regular Sev-2s and firefighting when on-call, a manager evading blame for a disastrous project launch and dropping it all on one engineer.

I think the main problem that I saw was that there wasn't much training for managers on how to be a good manager, and bad managers never seemed to face consequences.

I finally quit after eight years (funnily enough, after ending up working for the manager who made my friend quit) and I'm a hell of a lot happier nowadays. Amusingly, I'm still facing tight deadlines and sometimes random overtime, but I have a great boss who is willing to fight against these things for me, and that makes a big difference.
You might actually be thinking of hankos, which are widely used in every-day paperwork, and they are usually a personal seal rather than a family seal. I don't think they're high culture, as almost everyone has one and they're used for day-to-day document signing of many types of documents, like opening a bank account or filing taxes and so on.

They're also part of some important business practices. One such practice called nemawashi, which is a "peer consensus" required for big decisions in some companies. A document outlining the change or project you want to undertake circulates to all peers or superiors it would reasonably affect, and they must all sign with their hanko in order for the process to be accepted.

Although there are some high-culture elements to them, such as having a bigger hanko if you're in a higher position in the company, some etiquette around hanko placement on the page depending on your rank in the company. There is also a tradition of giving a fancier hanko as a coming of age gift, those used to be of ivory (and still can be, Ivory in Japan is a fairly fascinating topic in itself).

Excellent question!
I think methane lasts for less than a decade in the atmosphere before it's broken down into C02, so considering this has been likely going on for a long time, reducing it would probably have an immediate effect.
I didn't move on, in the same post I both refuted your link of the two and informed you the reasons people fly both, neither for racism.

It's a flag. You aren't making the world a better place by crying imaginary racism. Go crusade something else to feel better.

You're one of those people who need religion but think you're too smart for it.
I've also developed lots of server side generated webapps (edit: websites) and I still like the SPA approach more because it's more clean and domains are better separated. So the answer is usually yes, to me it's worth it if the problem requires SPA.

You make it sound like SPA-s are like the Death star, but this is really far from the truth.
Agreed. Also, the existence of this bug makes me wonder if I can simply delete polkit. What other rookie mistakes lie within? I learned how to parse argv properly in CS 50 (so, before CS 101).
> But this is dualism

No, you cannot deduce dualism from what I said. You filled in assumptions that aren't present and which I don't assert. It's just physicalism (materialism is an outdated term[1]) but would also work for neutral monism[2].

> I can't pinpoint a distinction between me and the computer. I can't pinpoint a distinction between me and you, other than distance and mechanical connection (which we currently have, with some latency and signal distortion.)

What? Maybe you need a psychiatrist now? This sounds like dpersonalization or derealization.

You realise that's a bad thing, right?

And if they do that you can... issue a chargeback.

Simply because something was designed a certain way 250 years ago, doesn’t mean it’s a non issue.

The political problem they were trying to solve at the time (balancing the interests of independent sovereign political entities with respect to land claims and future political power) doesn’t necessarily map onto the problems we have today.

Deming made me realize that there is actually management literature out there that isn't just fads and slogans.
A private organization does not have efficiency as a primary goal, it has making profit as a primary goal. In a highly competitive market where consumers have many viable alternatives efficiency is required to be able to compete and offer the lowest prices. In quasi-monopoly situations efficiency is not required at all to make a profit since there is no alternative for consumers to switch to, and in reality private companies will generally be less efficient in this situation because they have less accountability to their customers than the government, which means they are more than happy to raise rates more and skim more money off of the top.
They would pay attention to an actual number "cost to heat this property per year".
I often find my choices will rub up against each other a lot. I never know whether to build glue code because that's the right way, or I should have picked a different library.

It's too fine grained.
Phone profit margins have been declining even for Apple (about ~60%) and are already fairly thin for the rest of the market (~13%). The problem is that getting the kind of customization we're talking about here probably means rolling your own phone OS which is a non-starter.

Good rule. If I may add a derivative rule about coding articles and tutorials.

Please please put filenames to each and every code snippet.

Example working with any modern js-stack there are a gazillion (ok not really) files to keep track of: package.json,main
js, index.js, app.js etc etc.

Another example: Any language that uses some sort of modules.

Knowing what the filename is of code-module-snippet makes it much easier for an outsider or newcomer to understand the context and actual article.

ok rant over :)
Build it yourself. You don't have a right for a company to do exactly what you want. Weird understanding of the economy to be honest.

It also comes with more debugging in the node world. Since everybody is doing things differently and the packages you install are usually poorly tested (or not at all), you very encounter shortcomings.
Agreed, but the reason this happens is not in a bubble. "User interface design" is not a natural category of design. People in the field will point to "The Design of Everyday Things" as some sort of progenitor of the field, but if you read it, it is kind of just a pop-psychology book.

The truth is (IMO) that UX is more closely related to marketing than it is to technical design work. The entire point of having a UX designer is to get marketing speak and advertising techniques right into the heart of the engineering process.

If engineers just built tools in the way that was the most sensible to them, they would have too many options and give the user far too much control. Ostensibly the reason given why this is bad is that it is 'confusing' for the user, but the reality is that it allows the end user to use the product in ways that do not maximize the profit. Even worse, users might use the product in a way that does not reflect the spirit of The Brand. It is telling that UX revolves around creating user stories, because this is exactly how advertising is done; “Martha, a woman in her mid thirties, is trying to balance home life with her need to efficiently walk her dog…”
"What is the difference between the speed and the car?"

The car is a thing, like your body. The speed is what the car is doing, like your mind is something your brain is doing. No problem, nothing to accept.

My own mind is something I am doing, just as I am typing just now. It should be obvious enough that neither is something you are doing.
Yeah, just cause you had wonderment and curiosity about stuff doesn't mean it can be grafted onto kids. Believe me.

Especially when they've been exposed to iPads and Nintendo Switches.

The reason why many of us Boomers, Gen-xers and old Millennials were fascinated with this stuff is simply cause we didn't have much of anything else. And limitations foster creativity.

Kids today (and I know I sound old as fuck) but they grow up with so many cool toys and so many choices.

It will be hard to foster the creativity in them when there are so many things competing for their attention. Sometimes they find it and sometimes they don't and something else calls for their attention (wanderlust, sports, etc.)

And also, not all kids want to program the games or see how they work underneath the hood, some just want to play the games and that's never changed even back then.

You just gotta pay attention to them and help them foster their talents in whatever direction they choose.

Personally no because it's not really in my toolset. Did some Java in college and some light Minecraft modding years ago but nothing recently.

However, Java runs on more devices than anything else right? It's still a major player and I can't imagine it going away anytime soon.

As you start going down the path of developing a SAAS, I've even reached the point where Rails isn't enough.

I don't care to implement a forgot password form or api token generation for the Nth time. Give me an 80% solution and then on with the show.

I couldn't even imagine starting with all of these disparate pieces of JS tooling - 10 steps back. Strong defaults and integration give so much.

I genuinely think templates like JumpStartPro are the future of Rails.

Very high level template functionality already baked in so that you can immediately get to solving the core business issues.
You can't look at local energy usage and make this claim. It's not only the goods and services that come into the state that require energy in other countries, but all of the capital the flows in as well that ultimately has it's source in energy someplace else on the globe.

I recommend reading Smil's Energy and Civilization for a better picture of this.

Error handling is a big one for me. It just seems illogical that it's so easily skipped.

There's a lot of magic in the APIs. This blog post covered it but I hit quite a few of them. I get why they're appealing but I mentally feel the API is wrong which causes friction when I use them.
https://fasterthanli.me/articles/i-want-off-mr-golangs-wild-...

I find I don't agree with the package and versioning story either. Publicness based on casing, the way dependencies are declared in the source code.

It's lots of little things that, while I can see the appeal, they create friction with how I like to work.

My background is somewhat similar, Python, C++, ObjC, Swift, Java/Kotlin, JS, C#,GLSL etc...

In particular, I've used some APIs in the past that were very similar to Go and been bitten by it. E.g defining dependencies in the source quickly became an exercise in frustration when dealing with multiple packages needing updates for a shared runtime. It's not an issue people would hit when writing microservices or CLI tools, but it hit hard for working on graphics tools where everything runs in the same runtime. I know go has ways around it though but still not a fan.
Surely everyone can type Kanji now though? I could see that being an issue adopting to typewriters from handwriting, but now I assume those issues have been fixed. There's not many symbols you can't represent in Unicode and people aren't making up new symbols commonly.

Like, these faxes are still typed and printed first, right? People aren't just handwriting everything. About the only advantage of faxes in such a situation is the ability to personally sign/stamp something easier.
> after being told by a user that the page fails: "The user said that when they submit the form, they get a server error page." (Importantly noting the source of information)

Apparently, there are languages (such as Mongolian or Eastern Pomo) that "automatically" include that information into the sentence by grammatical markers of "evidentiality" (just as English always marks the tense (does/did/will do)).

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evidentiality

Evidentials in Eastern Pomo

Evidential type Example verb Gloss

nonvisual sensory pʰa·békʰ-ink’e "burned"
[speaker felt the sensation]

inferential pʰa·bék-ine "must have burned"
[speaker saw circumstantial evidence]

hearsay (reportative) pʰa·békʰ-·le "burned, they say"
[speaker is reporting what was told]

direct knowledge pʰa·bék-a "burned"
[speaker has direct evidence, probably visual]
Not really. I'm saying masks work and mandates are necessary public health policy.

Regardless of a mandate, people will do what they do even if it's not in their best interests, or in the interests of their loved ones, or the interests of their neighbors. They will smoke in public places, they will goto work sick, they will drive drunk. Frankly put, people can be jerks. So you put a mandate out there, and you do your best.

Masks work. In areas where mask utilization is high, there is good air filtration and people follow distancing rules, the spread is slowed.

There are plenty of tutorials available out there, with some geared toward kids with no programming experience. My older son went through a class (can't remember which one...it was at least six years ago) that did a very nice job of making basic Minecraft mods very accessible, while still introducing programming topics.
I'm curious, maybe I missed it, but why Terraform instead of AWS SAM? I find AWS SAM and CloudFormation very easy to work with and the TF is filled with AWS specific clauses so vendor lock-in is the same.

But I'm sure Terraform has some points for it too. I'm curious what people's thoughts are.

"One group of web devs is great at picking the right tool for the job. Simple web applications get simple solutions. The complex SPA solutions only get brought out for applications that require it."

You could replace SPAs with almost any technology (Queues, Kubernetes, an RDMS as opposed to BaaS, Servers as opposed to lambdas) and it would be correct depending on your own background and personal bias.
Just because it was done by design doesn't mean it's a non-issue. The Senate is an extremely undemocratic organization. The population discrepancy between States is much higher now than when the country was founded.

Nor do the reasons the founders did it this way exist anymore.
I think almost all modern SPA routers took a lot of lessons from the Ember router to be fair.
imho, don't wanna think? just pick a boilerplate and go with the flow.
Also, this isn't semantically correct. In order to ensure that `conditionaA` is _always_ preferred over `conditionB`, you must also check if `conditionA` has received a value inside of `conditionB`:

select {
case a := <-conditionA:
return a
default:
}
select {
case b := <-conditionB:
case a := <-conditionA:
return a
default:

return b
default:
}
The lack of opinions in JavaScript frameworks (esp. React) is what keeps me away and using old boring things like Django. I am not a full-time web developer, and don't have time to follow the latest states of the galaxy of tools needed to build a web application. I am hoping that SvelteKit is the next boring tool that will offer an alternate way forward that is worth my time learning (once it stabilizes a bit).
Except that they all agree that there is no "hard problem of consciousness", that's the part that's illusory. I think Dennett takes the illusion position too far, so I think I'm somewhere between those three. But there are others who take it further even, such as Graziano in "Consciouness and the Social Brain" whose "consciousness is an attention schema" position seems so nonsensical to me that I can't even explain it despite having the read the book.
As time goes on, I hate the NFT space more and more. This stuff is just ridiculous.
People want cheap everything. They also want clean water and air, that is why they vote for people who enact regulations.

Take software for example, people want cheap software. Paid software declines vs software with ads or tracking in it. People are upset because they don't want ads and tracking. Maybe regulations are enacted and paid software comes back.

Maybe it moves to a different model.
Do you have any recommendations for resources that map control theory to web services? I find the idea really interesting. I have two questions though

California's CCPA/CCRA is about the same as GDPR, and increasingly used as the template for state-level privacy laws in the US. Are they going to leave the US as well?

Now there is an issue with the extraterritorial overreach of the US CLOUD Act, which means the surveillance dragnet is extended to any US company, even if the data is hosted on servers outside the US. A strict reading of GDPR and Schrems II would mean that it is actually unlawful for Facebook to offer services in the EU.
That was surprisingly not complete bollocks. Bollocks is the norm when anybody talks about the "problem of consciousness'.

There are legitimate questions to ask about consciousness, but nobody asks them. How does the perception of being conscious aid in survival and/or reproduction? It's kind of like wondering about what good being beautiful does for a blind, microscopic worm: not necessarily answerable, but anyway worth asking.

If it's truly about externalities, the proceeds of a carbon tax should be distributed in the same way as legal compensation for damages.
