No and I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy. They were opportunistic. I remember back then hearing an interview with the writers who were describing writing each episode of 24 on a weekly basis between episodes. And the article I linked to describes how they tried to use Homeland to reflect more seriously on the ideas around torture that first appeared in 24.

Ultimately they created a show that fed into the publics desire for revenge, post 9/11, and made a big success out of it.

What it leads to is the point I already made - the goal torture is oppression; to create fear and thereby obedience, not gathering information.

No, you’re not understanding me correctly.

What I am saying is that when taking advice from a proven malicious actor, it’s important scrutinize the advice more carefully than one would usually do.

Osama bin Laden could have said “eat your vegetables to be healthy” and that is obviously reasonable advice but it’s also largely useless because we already know it is true. It’s the stuff that isn’t obviously already correct that we should take extra care to verify.
That's not DST per se, that's changing times.
I'd like to know this, too. What sets it apart? I'm especially curious about performance, because both Deluge and qBittorrent chug a little bit on my machine when I have too many torrents listed.
Perhaps you've never interviewed someone.

I am an employer. When I interview job candidates, I ask them about their lives, about their day, where they grew up, and lots of questions because I am starting a relationship with them.

The interview is not just a place to filter employees. It's also where you begin a relationship with them. You are envisioning how you might employ them. What kind of work could they do? Could they work well with John and Alice? How does it feel to talk to them? Do they like it when I'm direct, or when I speak softly?

I'm sorry that you've had such a cynical view on hiring, but the reality is that, yes, employers do use MBTI to get a richer understanding of their candidates. Here are some additional examples for you: https://www.talentinsights.com/blog/using-myers-briggs-in-hi...

The code is equivalent, except the golang version accidentally loops an extra time.

`&:meth` is just Ruby syntax for "a function that calls the `meth` method on its argument". So `&:foo` is shorthand for `func(x) { x.foo }`.

`take(n)` just returns the first `n` elements.

`select(fn)` iterates for every element for which the function passed to it returns true.

`reduce(fn)` combines the previous iteration with the result of calling the provided function on the next iteration.

Thus `take(20)` gets the first 20 elements, `select(&:odd?)` iterates over every odd value in what's left, and `reduce(&:+)` adds every remaining element together.

> In my opinion the Go code is dead simple and unambiguous with no nuance hidden away in methods whose exact semantics I certainly don't have memorized.

These functions and Ruby's `&` syntax took a few sentences to explain. They are fundamentally not that complicated, although nobody would expect you to understand what they did before you've seen them just like any other function call.

You didn't know what they do, which is fine. But now you do, and it is completely normal for people to assume that you should be capable of working with them in the same way that someone would expect you to write 2 * 5 instead of writing 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2. Writing the full `for` loop in my example is the equivalent of the latter, with the equivalent pitfall that it's really easy to accidentally write an extra sixth addition when you only meant to put five of them.

> In my opinion the Go code is dead simple and unambiguous with no nuance hidden away in methods whose exact semantics I certainly don't have memorized. I'd have to look at 3 different function signatures to figure out what those Ruby methods do every single time I was reviewing code like this.

No, you wouldn't, for the exact same reason you don't look up the documentation for `for` or `range` or `if` or `*` every time you use them. They are simple, straightforward abstractions that any programmer will have more or less fully internalized given fifteen minutes of playing around with them, and which you will likely use multiple times a day in any language that supports them.

I can assure you that bordering on 0% of programmers who regularly use languages with these functions did not understand the example.

There was a time when I, too, did not know what to make of functions like these. I saw someone write a similar comment and I thought "that's totally inscrutable". And then I learned what those functions do and I now use them almost literally every single day. They are amongst the most useful and universal abstractions I have ever come across.
To me stuff like this sounds lovely. But sadly I am neither proficient enough to be anywhere near the level of what you need as a "help Travis" person.

I am my own kind of JOAT (jack of all trades) thing. I do mostly data work. Mostly web stuff. Nowadays a lot of strategy, architecture but also still implementation, JS work, python, ETL. Currently building an internal system next to client work for our team to have a play ground. So setting up a fake online shop with fake traffic (selenium) so that the web analysts can try out new tools with somewhat realistic levels of traffic and see if these tools might be something that helps clients solve their problems.

I love the fact that I have colleagues who do parts of that stuff and from whom I can still learn a lot. And I like the diversity of it.

But I agree - regarding the technologies I use there is a longing for "the time to get really good at any of them".

> But in real life, skin pigmentation and other differences that have been attributed to the term "race" have an impact on a person's perception, whether or not they admit/realize it.

I think, in the US, skin pigmentation has historically acted as a metonym for the social divide between European-Americans and African-Americans. But, it would be a mistake to take the metonym too literally – and people who are neither have always been somewhat out-of-place, and as the US becomes more diverse the number of people who don't belong to either side continues to grow. Some Indians have darker skin than some African-Americans do – would you expect therefore, that when those Indians immigrate to the US, they'll encounter worse treatment than lighter-skinned African-Americans? I don't think anyone believes that is what actually happens. That's not to say that they don't sometimes experience discrimination to a degree which lighter-skinned Indians do not (whether in India or in the US), but it is an overly simplistic model of how US society actually works to suggest that there is such a simple correlation between one's skin tone and one's societal privilege.

Also, "white" people aren't all one skin tone. My wife and I are both of predominantly northern/western European descent, yet my skin tone is somewhat more "olive", hers is quite pale. In many Irish families with slightly darker skin, the darker skin tone is explained through the legend of Spanish ancestry (ship-wrecked sailors from the Spanish Armada) – I've heard that legend with respect to both my parents' families. Am I, as a slightly-more-olive person of European descent, discriminated against compared to paler-skinned people of European descent? Not as far as I am aware. But, that once again shows that there is no simple and historically universal correlation between skin tone and privilege.

> My argument may be misguided or even wrong in any sense of that term, but I do not think it is naive.

You are American? You seem to keep on making the assumption that ideas derived from American culture are universally applicable, even when more than one non-American tells you that they are not. How is that not naïve?
But it is not wait-free, not even non blocking; if I understand your model correctly, a writer blocked in the right moment will prevent a reader to make progress exactly as you described.

Edit: with double buffering I guess it would be lock free, but still not wait free as a fast producer can still starve consumers indefinitely.

So I tried to find "language". The only hit was "language development". This turns out to have a handful of links, which are factors that have been found to have a bit of influence on language development. No idea in what direction, and quite a few from what appears to be the same source. But the source article is not cited. Why? The extremely limited information that is available suggests some kind of self-reporting, which is, as we all know, highly unreliable.

But, with a bit of searching, I did find the source. It's some random overview article from Family Matters (issue 91, 2012), a publication of the Australian government. It is based on survey data. It doesn't even seem to be peer-reviewed (which is the lowest bar in scientific publishing, IMO), and seems to contain all the classical ingredients that gave us the replication crisis (NHST, high N, just throwing everything in a GLM, assuming absence of significance is absence of causality, and that's just superficial reading).

On the other hand, every plain bit of knowledge on language development is missing. Where is the part that relates language development to the actual process, or even the child's parents or guardians, the influence of multilingualism, or the multitude of other potential factors? Not to be found. Adding them in the current style will not overcome the problems. I've got a bunch of articles on a specific (language-related) topic which reach opposite conclusions. I'm sure they exist for language development, too.

"The System", as it is now, will definitely, 100% lead anyone trying to understand language development to the wrong conclusions.
I don't get it, why does it matter at all? Isn't it just a perception. If you live in Alaska there are days where there is always sunlight and similarly days where there is no light.

Your design is fine. It’s your research methodology that’s holding you back.
What’s “monenies stature”?

I assume it’s a typo for something, but I can’t figure out what. If I google it I get results about money laundering, which doesn’t sound right from the context.
There seems to be a general assumption that the brain is a muscle. If you train a muscle, it’s going to get strong regardless of what you lift with it.

If you train yourself to get better at seeing patterns of dots in boxes, that doesn’t generalize nearly as well as a muscle does. It doesn’t make you a better chess player. There’s plenty of science to back this up.

At large, IQ tests in recruiting are training applicants to be good at IQ tests.
While it is (daylight saving) truly one of the most antiquated, and somewhat cuter, activities of humankind, why not just shift everybody (those countries that do this hour change thing) by 30 mins, split the difference, and leave it there?

Thank you for the advice, I will research the service intervals on the Tesla.
That sounds a lot like my current situation (though awesomer in turn than me). I'm doing everything from servers to microcontrollers, Android barcode scanners to power tools, running network cable to restoring antique lamps (really!). Trying to keep syntax, data types and structures straight in Python, PHP/HTML/JS, and Arduino/C++. Maintaining the network of security cameras. Sometimes database stuff too.

This is a dream job for me but I wonder where I can possibly advance from here. I know they don't (can't? won't.) pay enough for me to be able to afford to stay here forever. And I'd really like to work with a team instead of being the only person who can do a bunch of things.

I had a helper too for a while and it was awesome. But they moved away and I've been struggling to keep up. I tried training a few other people to help and they weren't really into it. It did at least force me to come up with some better documentation.

Even so, this particular statement is factual: Belgians are about 50% of the newborn in Belgium. In Sweden numbers are less certain, but it's less than 60%, somewhere between 50% and 60%, so Swedes are likely to end up being a minority in Sweden, possibly a quite small minority, and the same with Belgians in Belgium.
That situation should be added to the Wonderlic!

"When evaluating candidates who will be working with large amounts of money, should you give them the Not-IQ-but-we-all-know-that's-what-it-is test:

a) before you weed out the minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money

b) after you weed out the minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money

c) I find this question offensive and would like to out myself as either a minority, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money, or a minority sympathizer

d) An IQ test is not needed because there are other, more legal, ways to weed out minorities, who by definition cannot be trusted around nor deserve large amounts of money"

d) is the trap choice, as the IQ test is entirely for the benefit of the candidate so they feel like they're part of the "exclusive club" of smart non-minorities who by definition can be trusted around and deserve large amounts of money. b) is then the obvious answer as there is no risk of a non-minority complaining because only an asshole would apply to work at a big hedge fund.

If I'm understanding it correctly, you are describing a seq lock, which can be implemented with #StoreStore barriers on the writer side and #LoadLoad on the reader side. Topically these are significantly cheaper than the #StoreLoad required for a lock acquisition.

This looks like what everyone who's ever owned a video camera and a crt tv has automatically done within the first second or so of owning them, point the camera at the screen! :)

It's a nice effect though, so it's neat that someone actually built something around it.
Yeah, I do see the appeal of variety. It was a breath of fresh air that finally those kids would have some room to do something else.

Just wanna share a ridiculous scene I saw on the street:
A high school kid with his father at a bus stop. The kid got a window wiper and the dad had a bucket filled with water. I overheard that the kid needed to include more activities on his college application, the dad was dead set on making up this fake community service of washing bus stops. The kid was just going along with this. The dad all of a sudden splashed the water onto a pane of glass at the bus stop and asked his kid to hurry up and take the window wiper to pose for a picture. They snapped pictures from several angles and just bounced! That pane of glass was not even cleaned, only it now confusingly sported a splash of water. My face was laughing so hard in my palm.

You and your article are wrong. Place extra metal on one side near and edge and run the experiment again.

All the topics mentioned in this subthread sound like my kind of thing. It's sad that Discord bans for that.

If you ever want to resume your communities elsewhere, perhaps check out Matrix (https://matrix.org/)? If you have the know how to host your own server, you can host a community without the risk of being shut down by an external party. People from other servers can still join because the network is federated.
I didn't get the message that any particular standard should be adopted, but rather that the data should be shared in a structured format at all.
I don't really understand why everyone seems to think that it's necessary to go to work at the same "time" each day. Why not let "time" stay the same all year but go to work at a different time in winter?
Yeah I mean I get you, but it doesnt have to be this drastic. I was exactly in OPs position, at a FAANG, making a few hundred grand a year, HATED it. I switched teams once, made it nine months, switched teams again. Now I am leading a team, working 30 hours a week, while travelling around the USA remote, making top 1% income for my age group.

this all or nothing quit is a fallacy, it takes time to find the right position in a company, and if they are paying you well, its worth finding.

The effects of the shift are more pronounced if you are in the western part of your time zone.

Detroiters go from 6:40am sunrise to 7:40am sunrise, which tends to get noticed while Bostonians go from 5:55am to 6:55am.

Guess where DST was a major political issue in the 20th century (the memory of that and related debates is why the previous generation wanted to ‘let sleeping dogs lie’)
Nice utility - I'd probably take it a step further and potentially make the default behavior be more prescriptive about locking the color values to regular steps instead of just allowing any shade of those colors. Nice to have the flexibility but I figure most people would be served better by not allowing the choice of 30 different shades of the same colors in one's app.
Matrix is a joy when not federated fwiw, given all the stuff that could slow it down (talking to other people’s servers) isn’t happening :)
No mention of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ore_Line ?

There's already such a train in Sweden. It's 1920s technology :)

BTW you don't need big batteries. You run 2 trains and make the one going down power the one going up (without ore). And the surplus goes to the power grid. Batteries (other than a small buffer) would just be wasted weight and money (and would introduce consumables where no consumables are needed).

Other option is using the grid and profiting from daily energy price differences. I'd assume in Australia energy is significantly cheaper when sun is shining because of solar panels. So run the trains up during the day and down during the night. Congratulations - you made your trains into a grid-scale batteries. You can profit and solve the biggest problem with renewables at the same time.

Putting enough batteries to let every train go up by itself is such a waste.
Because a lot of systems depend on the "time". As a simple example, the software that the workers use to "sign in" and "sign out" for the day depends on it, and needs bi-yearly updates. A lot of automated systems like ATM machines, telephone plans, etc. depend on the "time", and they require less maintenance if the time doesn't need to change twice a year.
Yes, that would make more sense.
its not shittalk tho, its a bit closer to whistleblowing, seeing as the marketing paints a different picture

you should keep your critics close, they are the only ones who care about you enough to tell the truth
You can limit qBittorrent pretty nicely with a cgroup if you're on Linux. It won't crash and won't lose much performance.

I'm forcing it to use between 75 and 125MB and it doesn't complain.

I like Chicago too, but only the original 12 pt. bitmap version. For some reason it never looks quite right when scaled, I wonder why.
Java can decide to heap-allocate or not heap-allocate at runtime based on what optimizations the JIT has performed so far, and so it can change over the course of a program's run. I don't think you can get more implicit than that.
On the one hand, yes.

On the other hand, clock time is entirely a social construct whose whole purpose is to coordinate social and business activity, so it should be specifically designed around social customs in order to serve that purpose.
