Such survey results cannot be used to infer anything without understanding how the survey was worded. For instance, if one of the answers were "I use Facebook, but not the internet" then A) some people will choose it just by virtue of it being there, and B) it could occur to some people that the survey was poorly worded but meant "I do not use the internet for anything other than Facebook".

I remember a rash of such loaded survey questions going around my country a few years ago, it looked like it was specifically designed to be answered with answers that could be used to slander my nation with "N% of these people think this" results. It's usually not disinterested parties investing the time and resources to run these survey, rather, it's usually people for whom the investment will pay off if they can get the results they want.

In the end, you can't do it all, and why would you? That would be extremely taxing. Most disciplines work with other disciplines, so pick a related cluster of disciplines. You'll get to work with them and experience some of their world, while having your own you can be competent in. In the end, it doesn't really matter, and consider that for many people in the world, they don't have a choice to begin with.

Usually when you change your environment ("tickets to Bangkok" as you say) the depression comes along with you.

If you have a specific stressor like a horrible job or abusive family member, leaving that situation can vastly improve your mental health. But otherwise, just flying somewhere else won't do much.
It's terrible.

When browsing this website, one needs to be careful not to move the mouse over anything that will trigger a popup and cover the page they are trying to read. It's quite easy to accidentally get to 3 layers of pupups.

Popups are antipattern, at least when they appear automatic, without user interaction.

Well, after thinking about it many time times.. I don't feel comfortable saying I can "believe" any possible theory. I think as of right now, there is no really good answer, to me at least. It is definitely freaky, in a way, to think about though.

Obviously there are things we can measure about existence, but there are still lots of unknowns. And it's very human I think to ask "why?" but I don't know if that's a question with an answer or if it has one that it would even be a satisfying answer.
This is a great explanation and reflects my experience working at this kind of large, one product tech company. It's all about searching for growth of all kinds and cutting costs.
> swim in their ideas

Speaking as an accomplished dilettante, I can tell you that the ability to have interesting conversations with anybody about anything is in fact a fairly OP soft skill.

If you're an extrovert, I would encourage you to move into a role where you get plenty of exposure to different people - you'll find that you have a natural edge.

The other major benefit of your approach is that you will build diverse mental models and paradigms for dealing with problems. Try to find your way into some sort of consultancy.
If you have one apparatus using LHe, sure, fine, I can see why venting the He might make sense. (The greybeards can still be furious, but that's on them.) But when you have twenty-eight... I kind of feel like that's somewhat past the point where reclamation starts to be a win for everyone (except the LHe suppliers).
I used to think the software industry was broken because seeing from the inside it's obvious that the vast majority of programmers have no idea what they are doing.

Then as I looked at the rest of the world, it started to become clear to me that all industries are broken in the same way. Medicine is no exception.

> My brother just got prescribed anti-depressants this week. All the doctor did was give him the standard DSM “are you depressed” test. His score was barely on the depressed spectrum and so the doctor gave the standard dose. “See you a month from now, call me if you feel like killing yourself.”

> No probing questions about why he might be depressed. No questions about past his past experiences with seasonal depression in Michigan where he lives. No other alternative remedies. Just a prescription, next patient please.

That's really sickening.
My experience with cults is that they’re not effective, they simply focus on the minority who are open to their line.

They even try to sound crazy, to discourage well-adapted people.

Like a Nigerian scammer who deliberately uses bad grammar so the only responders are people with dementia.

My experience with cults comes from being part of a large, mainstream church that had cooky and predatory groups operating at the margins of the congregation.

They would target new members who had severe issues: drug abuse, mental illness, having been trafficked.

I’m not sure if the Mormons have anything similar. I read about extreme fundamentalist Mormon groups, but they don’t seem to be recruiting mentally ill/drug addicted mainstream Mormons.
I would love to hear comments on the mentioned work "The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe" from anyone here who has read it. It sounds very intriguing.

> pipe flag “PIPE_BUF_FLAG_CAN_MERGE”, which signifies that the data buffer inside the pipe can be merged, i.e, this flag notifies the kernel that the changes which are written to the page cache pointed to by the pipe shall be written back to the file

That's not what this flag does. No pipe flag can ever cause writing dirty pages back to disk, because pipes have by definition nothing to do with files.

The CAN_MERGE flag tells the kernel that the next write() to the pipe can append data to this pipe buffer until it's full, instead of creating a new pipe buffer for every write().
It purely my opinion (probably a biased one), I feel there is something off about sentiments in general in hacker news lately. Here [1] some of the big VC and angels are praising this tool whereas sentiments in this thread is sounds very negative. It might just be me. I know everyone points to dropbox thread where it does not mean that product will be a failure. In general, I feel there is some sort of disconnect between this community and VC, investments, angels community.

Building barbed wire and stronger coastal patrols doesn't help you take in more refugees. Getting more countries to accept refugees helps take in more refugees.

But I suppose you solution is to just kill all the refugees by letting them drown or whatever. Which, I suppose, is one way to solve a perceived "refugee crisis", but it wouldn't be my first choice.
I have been in just the same situation, I ended up studying two of those things (philosophy, film/art). I never gave up on the others (music, electronics, design, programming), now I work in electronics and programming.

My worry back then was that doing all these things was a sure way to be mediocre at all of them, and good at none. This was not how ot turned out.
Of course it's still being produced, and of course it's truly lost when vented.

Also, of course, it's hard to see how DALL-E can create "a chair in the shape of an avocado" by interpolating between training samples, none of which were a chair in the shape of an avocado nor anywhere close. The orthodox view of interpolating between a deep hierarchy of extracted features and meta-features readily explains this feat.
Aren't they? Of course they are doing it for their own sneaky benefit, if only in terms of PR.
They might reply with some form of "But why?" in which case the best answer is

- "this is none of your business" or

- "because I want to".

If they're extremely manipulative, they'll follow up with more "why?"s but you just keep repeating these two until their why's are exhausted or you leave with a "So... bye"

This technique is called the broken record in the book "When I say no I feel guilty" which talks basically only about these types of interactions.

Functionality aside embedding random scripts from twitter seems like a big risk for security and privacy.

At a minimum, it should probably be embedded in a sandboxed iframe.

Just taking a screenshot, and linking to the tweet, seems like a more robust solution, that won't randomly stop working, and doesn't have the same privacy issues.
Exactly. Giving people reasons is giving them problems that they will solve for you, if it means them ultimately getting what they want.

For anyone interested, this appears to be the document in question: [1]

If I understand correctly, that version of the document specifies $5k/session, with each session being 2 hours. However, there seems to be an amendment that changes the compensation to $5k/hr ($10k/session).[2]

These are public files linked from Oxnard School District's website under "Board Meeting Agendas"--in particular, the August 4 2021 Regular Board Meeting,[3] page 375. I'm confused as to how this could be construed as private information when it's quite clearly a public document published by the school district.

Aside: Don't send emails like this. If you find yourself writing terms like "lawyer" and "police" in an email intended to express your dissatisfaction with someone else's decisions, pause. Revisit it tomorrow.

Furthermore, if you're a public figure or are otherwise in the spotlight, consider that the majority of the people reading your email will not be those to whom it is explicitly addressed. It will be read--and judged--by the public. Write your messages as though you will be reading them on a stage in front of an audience.

Everyone lets their emotions get the better of them from time to time, and everyone makes mistakes--but if you're being paid $5k/hr, those mistakes had better be exceedingly rare.

There's a replication crisis in science, in that most published literature can't be replicated. In medicine every patient is unique. It's hard to be scientific when no experiment with humans is repeatable.

With regards to the 'current front page question about anti-depressants': at least the mental health industry aspires to be helpful. Depression is mostly solved, except for how big business can make $$$ from simple fixes for depression.

There is a somatic component. Nature, forming new relationships (love) and social contact like dance can work wonders in conjunction with professional help. Breaking anhedonia and rumination was key. No chemical assistance needed unless that includes food as medicine. The DSM is not the bible and there are many ways to heal. Peace be with you.
So many people around me love using Picasa. It offers everything they need in a user friendly fashion, and no more. Such a shame it was abandoned.

I am trying to figure that out, too, working now on my PhD. For my work life it just means I can engage in interesting conversations. That's quite something, helps with networking a lot. For my PhD I can re-use a lot (not all) of the stuff, because the social sciences are much more eclectic nowadays. For sure I get criticized for showing extensively how the dots connect.

Most pixels, in most seconds, don't change.

So the rate of change of pixels is actually much lower than a simple HD video feed.

So you can simply broadcast all pixel changes from all participants to all other participants. No sharding or anything clever is necessary, even for mobile clients.

Then you have a separate 'bitmap server' which listens to the feed and builds an image to serve to new clients so they don't have to replay the whole feed from the start when they connect.
If my plugin Passwordly, only sends the keystrokes inside password boxes, is or isn't that a key logger? It's only capturing a subset of your input, like Grammarly, so not a keylogger?

If the argument is, it's not a keylogger because it's not logging sensitive information, well I type plenty of sensitive information into non-password textboxes.
It also crashes mobile Chrome on a Pixel 4a.

I've found it helpful to deliberately identify if you are being the manager or the technician (to use E-myth's terminology). The manager goes through the lists of tasks and emails, and works out what needs to be done (next, or today, or this week, or this sprint). The manager tells the technician (usually via TODO list) what that task is. Then you switch modes to technician - its no longer your job to organise, its your job to do.
Don't think of it as trading source files.

Think of it as version controlling a package of class definitions.

The whole idea with Smalltalk and Pharo is that you don't have files.

You have class definitions, and these are only version controlled in text files as a concession to the extreme populatity of GitHub.

The answer is that each class definition should be seen as an atomic unit with its own version control history.

Smalltalk/Pharo intrinsically doesn't focus on dealing with the Unix filesystem, because the Unix filesystem is what C deals with.

And yes, the answer is Iceberg exports the package of class definitions as a text file.

That was a very interesting read for sure.

"... it not only works without write permissions, it also works with immutable files, on read-only btrfs snapshots and on read-only mounts (including CD-ROM mounts)..."
I try not to take the following thoughts too seriously because ultimately I'm living this life. Also, I'm making some huge assumptions. With that said.

Life isn't real. It's real right now, but only for the time you're alive.

Before you were born you didn't exist, then you were born. Now you exist and start gaining memories. When we go to sleep all of that is gone. In that sense I have the hunch that to some extent sleep simulates what it's like to be dead. In other words, there will be nothing. Going from there to infer what death is like (a huge assumption), I come to the conclusion that all of what you did is forgotten by you. In fact, you will likely not experience anything anymore.

If that's true then it's basically like you haven't lived at all. In other words, life isn't real.

It's a thought I play with, mostly the questions it raises. Sometimes I play with different assumptions. It's a fun pastime, not something to take seriously IMO.
I think most of the same is true for Go. These languages are perfect for making CLI/TUI tools
Consider it from the context of a "right to be forgotten" though. Setting aside whether that should be a legal right, there's certainly some kind of argument that if the right-to-be-forgotten is at some level a moral good, then technologies that assist in enforcing that right have at least some level of moral justification in doing so. Does that override the rights of a website operator to expect that their tools will not erase their content? Perhaps, perhaps not - but it is indeed a tradeoff.
Has the Framework turned out to be a good option? Components might be slightly dated by now. I wonder when they will update.
Though you can always update it yourself as needed.
User manuals for stereo systems, specs for old hardware. Anything that can be generically referenced, maybe a bit harder to find. Someone can throw up a webpage that SEO's on "manual" or "user guide" and when I type in "Sony DTH-345 user guide" I'll see results like "manualsonline.xyz" that are clearly bogus.

I can't lab it up now, but that is the gist. And DDG has it while Google rarely has the same level of it.

Have you ever thought about doing the exact opposite? Instead of integrating email in your todo list you could run your todo-list via email.

I worked on a job where this was done and it worked flawlessly (emails generated from various systems and people, including those in the shift before you).

The one thing you have to make sure that your "job" communication is divided from your private communication or other non-actionable messages like newsletters etc.

Writing Emails to your self is totally okay also : )

How Disney Became a Nuclear Power
Hard lesson to learn, but very true.

I had great managers who, if up to them entirely, would have my interests at heart (as demonstrated by decisions fully under their control), but hey, they don't call the shots in the end.

You're a cog in a machine and you may be the golden child while they need you, but once they don't, you're out. And all the talk of "family" is just that, talk. It's why the fake "we care" stuff gets under my skin - it's a lie - they care about "you" in the theoretical employee sense, but they don't care about you as an individual. Individual relationships do matter, but "the corp" in the end is an emotionless machine.

And it doesn't matter whether you're a desk analyst or a CEO, I've seen both go from "calling the shots" to "not aligned to where the company wants to do" really damn quick.
