I feel like the workaholic culture defies everything we understand about modern productivity and I am surprised it is so celebrated in other cultures.

I wonder if it is more about not raising quality of living TOO high, as opposed to actual competitive concerns.

For me, I see my work and life as a balance of sharpening the axe and cutting through the tree. I practice mindfulness a lot and am constantly trying to optimize my mood and life to stay efficient and happy.

I take care of myself in my down-time, and during work hours I execute ruthlessly. This has always worked well for me. I consistently receive excellence awards at work, get large promotions and raises, and have never been put on a PIP or fired. A CEO at a company I worked at once said of me "I wish we could clone honkycat 5 times to fill these positions." Not to brag. Just establishing that I perform well at work.

Overall my motto is "4 good hours" of deep work a day will keep me in the green performance-wise.

So what is the reasoning of this culture? Am I just mistaken?

Funny enough someone actually wrote a book on it.

Data Modeling Made Functional

https://www.amazon.com/Domain-Modeling-Made-Functional-Domai...

It's one of the better and more useful software engineering books I've read. Even if you don't use a functional programming langauge. It's about using Algebraic Data Types do model common problems in the day-to-day business domain (not typical academic problems).

It's a really simple and awesome presentation, and by the end you're dying for the ability to use this more so in the day to day job. Honestly after reading through it, trying to model problems in OOP just seems so unnecessarily obtuse.

I struggle to get into shows like this too. I want something totally different.
> My understanding is that both wind and solar can't just placed anywhere, while a nuclear reactor can.

A nuclear reactor has the same placement restrictions as any other thermal power plant: it needs significant cooling, which usually means a nearby large body of water. Since wind and solar need almost no cooling, they can be placed in some locations where a nuclear power plant can't. There's also other restrictions due to size and safety which limit nuclear power plant placement even more.
And it's not like there isn't more than one "original" anyway. If the one the Louvre owns is even an original (and wasn't switched during the 20th Century theft).

Microsoft exec Charlie Bell calls on industry to learn lessons of the early web
Yeah, speed is one of the key meta aspects, and having a boost in that area is a major advantage if the player is good at other aspects as well. At some point your players just can't keep up. A new version of the game is released end of September every year, and by Christmas it's borderline unplayable unless you keep escalating.

Additionally, there are daily/weekly/monthly challenges that require you to do certain things, like score a goal with a player from the Belgian league in 10 different games. So players will score to achieve their goal and then disconnect, and just waste everybody's time. Or the objective will be "Win 10 games", and the community has decided that if you give up the first goal during one of these challenges, you're expected to just concede immediately. Otherwise the opposing player will take long pauses, perform every goal celebration and replay, anything to annoy you into quitting. It's become really toxic, all because of the rewards that are at stake.

“Non latticini”?
Yeah. Tons of people use Web MD, but its also free. I'm pretty sure I would use glacier MD if given the choice, but if you asked me to pay for it I likely would not.

There is a similar enough service called labdoor. They review protein powders and tell you which one is best. As far as I know it's free and still in business.

The business plan the author came up with here is just bad.
The bar below which HR has to be worried is not "we've scientifically determined that our interview questions lead to good on-the-job performance". There has to be some reasonable sense in which you could argue the interview filters for good candidates, but no one is requiring you run studies.

Google once did a retrospective study and found that interview scores for people we ended up hiring were not correlated at all with people's on-the-job performance. I'm pretty sure nothing really changed as a result of this. I think it's a combination of the industry, especially FAANG, being kind of "stuck" on these kinds of interviews, and a lack of clearly better alternatives (I think there are better alternatives but it's not like I can point to studies backing me up).

> I know when we wanted to do a coding test they told use we need to spend 6 months of giving everyone a coding test, have it independently graded by someone not involved in the hiring process. Then after people have worked here for 6 months we examine our actual results from those we hired and see if the tests at all predicted something useful.

This is interesting but also way heavier weight than anything I've ever heard of. OOC where do you work? (Like vague description of kind of company, if you're not comfortable sharing the specific name).
Sure, nuclear will run out much faster than the sun. But that "much faster" is still on the order of magnitude as the age of human civilization.

And no, pumped storage is nowhere near on the scale required to make renewables feasible. For example, the US uses about 500 GWh of electricity every hour, but only ~20GWh of pumped storage. The pumped storage facilities take about as long to build as nuclear power plants. Storage is also just one of the challenges to making renewables feasible. The fact that renewables are geographically dependent means we'll also have to make large expansions to transmission infrastructure [1].

As a home-cook trying to create Indian dishes, it's always intrigued me that internet recipes call for yeast to make "naan" (leavened flat bread), but road side cooks in India can make amazing naan without any yeast (yeast isn't an ingredient in authentic Indian cooking).
Thank you for your thoughts and I miss literal searches too. Our feeling is that they don't have to be mutually exclusive. So we're trying to build both, including slash commands, advanced operators and some ideas borrowed from the terminal.

While it's early days, we've already got some cool things working on that front, including the ability to totally bypass NLP and do advanced operators.

So for example, try some of the following:

Use '/e' to skip the AI (exact):

```/e site:cnn.com +"mars rover"```

DDG-style !bang commands are supported. Try:

```!a shoes```

Search X for Y - and see the results within Andi:

```/s reddit duckduckgo```

```/s google python list comprehension```

or just:

```search reddit for duckduckgo```

Direct navigation to on-site searches with 'go' or '/g':

```/g twitter elonmusk free speech```

```go youtube cute pandas```

```go politics on reddit```

You can use this to directly navigate to pretty much any site, or any search result on any site.

There's quite a bit more, and more coming.

So it has both direct literal commands (including operators like quotes etc where we can), and also natural language.

Natural language has a lot of advantages working with language models for things like question answering. There are subtle clues in the way we say things to each other as humans that help supply meaningful information, and for those sorts of questions, Andi does much better when people ask questions in plain language including extra information above keywords.

So we're trying to build a search that supports both approaches.

Also, more terminal like things are coming. Try [space] and up/down arrow to start navigating history.
What are some SaaS apps that were too early?

AnyLogic has a personal learning edition you might be able to use depending on your use case.

I had a prof for a course on probabilistic methods in operations research whose work flow was to use Python for the modeling and simulation work, and then they would use AnyLogic to simplify the analysis and present a 3D overview of the process.
Anecdotally I think it raised my scores by maybe 100 points. Not coaching so much as just doing practice tests to learn that, especially for the reading, the questions were actually pretty dumb. Lots of them are asking for the most basic insights. This is surprisingly non obvious or at least was not to me at the time. Many questions were filled with "traps" of answers that felt more insightful and more broadly relevant; but less relevant to the specific passages being questioned on.
> Life should have a shot at consciousness

We’re getting into “every sperm is sacred” territory here.
I don’t eat meat myself but I would be ok if animals got treated well during their lifetime and just had one bad day when they get slaughtered. Wild animals also usually don’t have good endings. What I object to is the cruelty these animals are subjected to for their whole life. Their whole life is a sequence of very bad days without reprieve.
What do you mean by "mere taste"? Hominids didn't evolve for 22 million years to have taste buds that are completely useless.

More often than not, better tasting food means it has higher nutritional value. This has been slightly butchered by modern food science when they started mixing chemicals to help sell industry waste as food... but for vast majority of foods that humans culturally ate before the food industry took over, good taste does mean higher nutritional value.
That is why there are companies that do MISRA-C certifications.

Have they considered trying leetcode instead? It seems to work for FANG.
Nuclear has this problem too (in a lesser form though).
Most reactors mainly run at 100%.
Regulating them down takes quite some time and also wears down some materials inside.
Sure but even still exploits in kernel modules are also extremely rare. The vast majority of exploits are in getting userspace to do something it has permission to do but in a way that it didn't want to do it. Sandboxing & permission systems help here tremendously, which Android already has a pretty robust & extensive system (not just the normal app permissions, but also a massive set of selinux policies controlling what a given system service can do).

Desktop Linux is pretty far behind the curve at this point, but Android/iOS aren't (and increasingly MacOS/Windows are fixing things up)

Fuchsia seems like it'd be an incremental improvement here at best, and "real world" improvements even less clear than that.
I remember several examples of qualitative generosity and not quantitative reciprocity, but it was a while since I read the book, so I accept that I might remember incorrectly.
Hmm, russian media isn't covering this at all.

BBC sure does seem to bendover backwards to not make accusations. I appreciate that they did this.

It's probably going to be minimal as well, not a direct attack on him. Where's the actual attack?

Just guessing but it probably means he was near some of these chemical weapons in a casual way. No attack happened, he was just getting shown and maybe there was a tiny bit of contamination?

Did we just find out that Russia has a stockpile of this stuff and has decided against using it? Obviously still havent used nukes.

Isn't the thing that's shown a search result of the relay search and not the actual running service?
It very much depends on the style of coding test - personally, I'm more than happy to do take-home style tests where I prepare something in a matter of a few hours, but I can't stand "leetcode" interviews or anything where I'm pressured to produce in 30 minutes or less; perhaps that's because that's typically not how I work in the real world and in my experience, they do a really poor job of demonstrating my skill set and experience.

I have terminated interviews before they even got started because of poor interview loop design from employers.
A great game I played that has a "Shocking game mechanic that teaches you something", is called Rebel Inc.[0] The game is basically a sandbox inspired by the war in Afghanistan. One of the mechanics is in order to win battles on the map, you need airstrikes in order to gain ground. The downside to more airstrikes is that it leads to civilian casualties. You are basically given a choice between fewer airstrikes or more airstrikes and covering up any civilian casualties.

Honestly, I wish you could've found some way to start your business without taking VC money. I don't see how any of those strategies will be as profitable as as inline search ads, and your funding model pretty much forces some kind monetization scheme as the end game.

A better search provider starts with a non profit company, I think.
I use it now and miss "record view". Where I have data in rows for a particular record.
I was referring to Clojure which going by syntax/semantics does not belong in the same family as Common Lisp, Scheme, Emacs Lisp.
Yeah, that could be a problem. They would have to run completely separate lines to the bidets if the toilet water is reclaimed.
If the parents/students are willing to cheat on the SAT, they're probably going to have no issue manufacturing extracurriculars. The schools for the most part aren't auditing run of the mill activities (student org leadership, fundraisers, mission trips, local awards), and a lot of local newspapers basically let you write your own articles for them so cheaters can build up documentation if they're really motivated.
The same is true for most AAA single player games as well. God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Souls games. None of these have microtransactions.

The milk only seems to sour once there is a significant multiplayer component. GT7 sticks out as a recent example where the presence of multiplayer negatively impacts single player as well.

>The distinction between what is presented as a thought experiment and what is supposedly claimed as historical fact is most definitely material.

A) it's been presented as both. The example you pointedly ignored that I posted above is one such example.

B) It's not really that material. The story serves the same purpose either way - both in the above example and in, say, Stiglitz.

>it's necessary to clarify what the myth actually is and why it supposedly is so important for capitalism.

It is which is why Graeber did explain why it's important.

>In a deleted comment you claimed you read it in Mankiw.

After writing that comment I double checked the 8th edition of the text to see if i remembered correctly and ctrl-f and found zero about barter in the whole book so I guess we both misremembered.

I cant honestly remember which econ textbook I read it in since it was 16 years ago, but I do know that I read it and believed it and there are plenty of other examples that can be found via google, so whatever.
Sorry, what exactly are you insinuating?

>It's far easier for rich students to game GPA, college essays and extracurriculars than it is for them to game the SAT.

Disagree. I worked for the Princeton Review while in college back in the day. We would outright guarantee 99th percentile for one on one tutoring. If you didn't get 99th percentile the course was refunded or you could take it again. For classroom tutoring we would guarantee some improvement of I believe 200 (out of 1600) with the same refund or take it again option. Candidly, no one would pay for a prep course for a 30 point gain. These course are expensive. Some of them hundreds of dollars per hour.

The cited research is pretty fundamentally flawed.

"Although extensive, the academic research base does have limitations. Most notably, few published studies have been conducted on students taking admission tests since 2000. Only two studies have been published on the effects for ACT scores, and no studies have been published since the 2005 change to the SAT, which added the Writ- ing section among other changes."

This position also doesn't pass the sniff test. GPA is accumulated over four years of study. SAT/ACT is a single test. You can't retroactively improve your GPA by doing better in the past. But you can dramatically improve your SAT/ACT results.
UVC lamps require exotic UV-transparent glasses. Soda-lime glass won't pass UV.
I dislike it when the top result of my search is Quora. My knee-jerk reaction is to add '-quora' to the search term.

On the rare occasion that I click on a Quora link, I am immediately harassed by a nagging registration popup, further fuelling my hatred of Quora and immediately pressing back and appending 'reddit' to my search term.
Not an MBA or anything, but IMO startups glossing over their early business practices indicates luck rather than hiding good practices. That touches on another big, counterintuitive trap: listening to successful founder’s personal-myth-derived advice on generating success. Important skills attributed to founders— e.g. recognizing opportunity and talent, vision, etc.— are meaningless without simultaneously having the requisite resources and personal/professional circumstances to act. Chance changes our paths in complex, unknowable ways.

It’s probably not psychologically feasible or even useful for them to precisely examine the unearned factors in their or their company’s success, but so many citing ‘hard work’ as the primary factor proves they don’t try. Implying they committed as much, let some hundreds of times more cognitive, emotional, or physical effort, or even as many hours as an NYC line cook aspiring to be a chef, is laughable. Not discounting these folks’ value, but asserting those with less simply have less ambition or work ethic without providing reasonable points of comparison is justification, not reason.
I would love to see something like this for `pandas`. Also SQLAlchemy. EDIT: apparently there's a very limited set of oneliners for `pandas` already.

Why do so few libraries seem to understand that good documentation starts by providing meaningful examples of simple tasks with semantic labels that can be found via search? Reference-style documentation assumes that you already know the name of the thing you're looking for (you don't), or that you have time to read for several days and build up an entire mental model of the system in one go before getting anything productive done (also no).
I took it back when it was out of 1600 and missed a perfect by one question; however I don't think I was exceptionally brilliant or anything.

The SAT does not operate in the way the LSAT or some other computerized tests work where it keeps giving you harder and harder questions until you start getting them wrong.

I suspect more people could get a 2400 if those who get really close bother retaking it.
Well, they state they don't sell any email addresses[1], and delete any data after a certain amount of days, only using it for averages and anonymous stats. Looking at the other comments here and in the past[2] the site has been very helpful to quite a few people over quite a few years.

I'd also say it's a bit weird to reduce OVH, which is arguably the largest European cloud provider, to just protecting spammers and scammers or being pro-spammer. But that's just my opinion based on my experiences, you may consider it to be different.

The company behind it is called WOOBEO, based in France, as listed in their TOS[3]. You can probably look up more information about them. Or you could contact them and ask them directly even[4].

All in all, if you think you have a good reason not to trust this site, or any site like it, it seems simple enough to just decide to not use it, like with any online service. I suppose this is just like any other risk/reward situation, and the reward seems to outweigh the risk for most people.

A couple of things about "free-range" chickens:

1 - They might not actually be free-range after all. I've seen multiple exposes where the chickens advertised as "free-range" actually weren't, or they were allowed out of their cages for an hour a day and they called that "free-range".

2 - Even if they're are free-range, their conditions could still be appalling. Overcrowding and debeaking are common.
