> We aren't in disagreement and it's interesting to me how you keep framing it as if we are.

Because you keep saying things like: [You seem to be saying "Region 3, the rational brain, has made a conscious decision to be late. That's a bad choice." I agree, except it may not be the result of a conscious choice.] and [your advice to "just ignore it"]

Because no, I'm not saying either of those things.

It might not be strictly "disagreement" but you're not understanding my argument at all.

Let me try one last time too.

There are two scenarios:

A) If region 1/2 is making the decision then it's understandable but irrational to show up late. We seem to agree on this.

B) Region 3 is making the decision. This is where we're having difficulty communicating.

Early on you said "it often takes a lot of training and experience to truly know the difference when both both fear and anxiety feel the same physiologically."

That's region 3 decision-making, right? Region 3 is trying to interpret region 1/2 and decide if there is real danger. Then region 3 plots a course of action.

So my direct reply, saying you "should" either "not go at all" or "ignore it" was specifically talking about scenario B, where region 3 is making decisions. Because region 3 is the part that's trying to interpret a gut feeling.

But then you saw the words "ignore it" and thought I was criticizing scenario A. I wasn't.

If region 1/2 causes someone to be late, I'm not calling them a bad decision maker.

If region 3 causes someone to be late, then I am calling them a bad decision maker. And I think I'm justified in this.

Since then it's been a huge mess of talking past each other. I can only hope that by wording it this way we can finally reach understanding.

At no point am I telling the theoretical chooser that they're expected to just suck it up and ignore regions 1/2. I'm very sympathetic if they fall victim to regions 1/2. I do say it's a bad reason to be late, but I don't blame them.

But if region 3 is in charge, I expect a semi-rational decision. And while I totally agree that it can be hard to distinguish between fear and anxiety, that quandry is not an excuse for showing up late. Because that quandry only has two answers, and neither answer is "show up late". Even if you don't know which answer is correct, you should know the answer is not "show up late". Again, this paragraph is only if region 3 is in charge.
This seems like it could be great to explore a new city, especially if you can randomize trips somewhat. Eg there's 4 options for a starting point, then 3 options for the next point, etc and when you get treasure-map, it's somewhat unique in that it randomly picked each spot.
> However I think a lot of that narcissism is confidence

Narcissism more often comes from hidden or repressed insecurity - the opposite of confidence.
My intuition was this:

Take a sequence of operations (AND, OR, NOT) and assign each unique term a prime, then multiply each term by some other prime raised to their respective position in the sequence. Call the result the 'output'. This kinda feels like running a program.

Now, try and work out, for any given output, the sequence of minimum operations & their order that would get that output. Basically you factor, which is a common 'one-way' function from my understanding.

P.S.

I feel like the multiplied sequence of operations is a program, but then adding some input (encoded as a number) to that is closer to actually running the program. Then, for every output you have a unique program P with input 0 that gives you that output, but P isn't necessarily tied to the structure of the original program that generated that specific output.
I have done all this research in like 2017 and I am so tired of all the idiots slowing down humanity's progress.
It's a problem when someone is claiming that a technique Solves the Big Problems when it clearly doesn't.

Maybe it will one day, and no one is saying it's not an interesting avenue to explore.

But making grandiose claims is not doing science. Making novel falsifiable concrete predictions is science, and Wolfram hasn't made enough of those to justify the extreme self-regard.
My point is that if it is built out in HTML - it should work on any device that can render HTML.

Many other art-based, photography focused and creative writing projects work fine in my browser. You seem to just be avoiding the removal of bad UX patterns (fixed elements) for personal reasons - which is fine.

But you shouldn’t hint towards the fact that it’s “how things are” and they “can’t be fixed”. You’re hurting user experience for personal preference - not limitations.
This is interesting actually. I'd be curious to see what Korean food was like before the Americas were discovered. And you have now got me daydreaming about kimchi a full hour before lunchtime, thanks a lot :D
My wife cooks home cooked meals everyday from fresh ingredients. She watches the salt, only uses olive oil, is light on the carbs and we always have a large salad. I think that’s all that’s needed for a healthy diet.
> Spicy food, as we know it today, also originated in the americas

Chili peppers did, but chili peppers aren't the only source of spiciness.
Bananas wrapped in bacon, I've tried that! It's good, although it feels alarmingly unhealthy.
Being married does not raise your income. Rather, higher income makes you more likely to marry.

> We don't tolerate divorce and we ostracize people who don't get married.

Which also means high levels of domestic violence and simultaneously escalating domestic violence due to inability to leave. Up to and including domestic murders. The fact is, Islamic society does not look like society with better families to me. It seems more like society that likes to pretend that if you are not single, then all is fine, even if you just got chocked by the partner.
Yes, in software. More data science related. Only got it because an old boss of mine reached out to me to do some side work.
The language may have been intended to be a general-purpose language from the beginning, but my recollection is that the focus was firmly on scientific computing (and remains the principal sphere of activity). The quote you shared also seems to hint at that focus.
It's interesting with the sycophant outrage over criticism of Wolfram. With arguments ala "criticise his work not his person". But if you actually follow his work (scientific work, not his business) it is clear that there is a lot to critique, but not in a useful sense. Scholarly reviews of A New Kind of Science were universally negative. The usefulness of what he proposes is doubtful and it is unoriginal. He is unable to engage with other scientists in a way that furthers his program. And he is know to use academic shadow writers. I can't wrap my head a around why anyone would defend a self-centred entrepreneur that purchase the scientific relevance he couldn't work up organically (Sending thousands of copies of your own book to academic libraries all over the world is very much not in the spirit of science).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Prigogine maybe presents an intuitive approach to this topic.

"A dissipative structure is characterized by the spontaneous appearance of symmetry breaking (anisotropy) and the formation of complex, sometimes chaotic, structures where interacting particles exhibit long range correlations. Prigogine actually coined that term for his main research subject, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977."

If the particles are words, then the physics is sentence structure.

Minimizing spread also means a slow motion outbreak which requires extended lockdowns.
Previously, in February 2020, when the cruise ship Diamond Princess was quarantined in Japan with passengers locked down in their cabins and COVID continued to spread between the cabins, that was my "this is an airborne virus" moment.

Non-experts have no credibility to lose, nobody remembers or cares when their predictions are wrong. So what's the risk in concluding before you have all the data?

Experts are pinning their credibility on the line - not even if they issue every guess under a giant glowing banner saying "THIS IS JUST A GUESS WE DO NOT HAVE THE DATA TO BE DEFINITIVE YET". So: they're slower. I am not, incidentally, saying WHO's response is perfect.
All my Netlify websites are currently down, also the last few days I noticed several short outages.
Enough to put 20-30% down on a very nice condo/town-house pre-pandemic in HCOL area. That was my goal for the money. I’ve given up on that for the time being. I can rent for cheaper, so took a little chunk and had fun with it (I’m not a flashy person in other respects, I bought my car used for 15k 5 years ago).
> The problem are the devices on people's desk running software bought several years ago with no reason for them to upgrade.

Those are also going away sooner rather than later, as more and more software is offered as web-based experiences with ties to remote-running servers.

It's just higher levels built on lower levels.

openscad could definitely use at least a few things the article mentioned even if it remains a low level layer, and I don't generally like transpilers, but there is nothing automatically wrong with a language that provides mostly primitives and other languages build higher level things out of those.

do people really care if a site takes 3 seconds to load instead of 1 second?

Yes. It has a measurable, statistically significant impact on sales. It's reported by users. It's even an issue for you because you say "If the site hasn't loaded any content I can read after 5 seconds or so..." I doubt you're measuring that. You're using a gut feel, finger in the air measure of 5 seconds. A "This site feels slow!" judgement. For a lot of people their threshold is 3s rather than 5s. That's compounded if the site is something you'd load several times a day.

the /only/ thing I did for our work site was to strip down the JS/CSS to what is actually needed, compress the images (and serve webp as well) ... and that was it.

That's a lot more than many devs would do if CWV or Lighthouse wasn't giving them a number to judge their effort by. It's all you really need to do for most sites. HTML and CSS are fast. It's only once you move into web apps and super-highend complex brochure sites that the advice from sites like csswizardry starts to be useful.

Most people would get a site to load faster just be stripping out the things they don't need. If they aren't doing that but they are following the advice in an article like this one, and it makes their site faster anyway, that's still a win for the users.
I am not American and I don't care about Fauci. I'm just reporting on what I observe in the Dutch discourse.

This doesn't mean that I condone lying about being wrong. But it also doesn't mean that it's as easy as admitting mistakes.
We've looked into this somewhat as you could make basically make it a path finding problem.

The difficulty is creating the paths from A to B that feel worthy of being chosen e.g. taking a path that goes through quirky (potentially unmarked) alleyways, rather than going along the main road to the crossroad and turn left etc.

A lot of thought goes into choosing paths and locations that really set the scene, especially in the narrative based games!

Would to hear more thoughts on this though as it could be a nice pre-process to do and then refine
India also used a lot of black pepper in its cuisine (which is local) before chili arrives on the scene. I looked into the pre chilli cuisine of south India a few years ago and it was very interesting and pepper heavy.

I'd have to look up the book again, which is sitting in a shelf somewhere at home, about knowledge management. In there, if memory serves well, someone says that people who achieved true mastery of a something look like they have no clue whatsoever about said topic. I always understood that in the sense that those people are beyond talking about formalisms (usually the hallmark of "expert", just throw abbreviations and lingo around) and know to a high degree of certainty what they don't know.

That being said, I did train /teach supply chain management before in my life. And that showed me that being good in a subject has nothing to do with teaching that subject.

EDIT: After having read the essay beginning to end, I'd like to add one more observation: If you are new to a situation and discuss it with the resident expert, you can measure your level of mastery if that discussion of some serious potential challenges end with you, the new guy, saying "Fuck". And the resident expert responds with a slight smile and a nod. Usually, following this revelation that you now have a peer realizing the same issues, the really productive work can start. I love those moments, not the least because they are so damn rare.
> Another big one is that WHO announced it is not human-to-human transmissible

"not transmissible" and "haven't found clear evidence of transmissibility" are not at all the same.

As Bourdieu presents it, there are the economic, social and cultural capitals from your parents. I believe more and more that the social and cultural capitals can vary wildly even among seemingly privileged families. We can only gauge the economic capital from the outside after all.
I saw it firsthand where rich parents educated their children way too softly, which made their children unable to cope with challenges of real life.
Maybe Elon got the luck to be born in a family with very good capitals on all axes. It does not mean that he has no talent, just that his initialization may have been particularly good.
It what happens when people see the media and their government lying.

They start asking, what else have they been hiding and lying about. After that it's hard to keep it grounded in reality. It's the proverbial "and see how deep the rabbit hole goes".

The idea that cellular automaton can form a foundation for physics that mathematics can't seems incredibly unlikely. Mathematica is a useful program, but his claims are a bit over the top compared to the critiques from fellow scientists.
I think it looks pretty good!

That said, I think having to click a small "read more" link instead of the post title on your main page is not great UX.
Yeah, whereas the reality seems to be more like Italians were idiots, and this could well be why it happened to us. There were several interesting things about the Italian outbreak which got downplayed or ignored (at least in the English-speaking world) because it didn't help with the preferred political narratives. The information coming out of Italy was obviously garbage. The only way for an outbreak to go from first detected community spread to hospital systems collapsing so fast was if they'd done an even worse job of testing patients with no ties to China who were hospitalized with potential Covid symptoms than the US, which had a policy of not testing patients with no ties to China hospitalized with potential Covid symptoms (and still detected them much earlier in the outbreak). Obviously you weren't going to get any meaningful figures on infection rates out of that - was it a mild disease causing lots of deaths by infecting everyone, or something slower spreading but deadlier? Who knows. Their treatment guidance was bad and likely killed people too. And it's worth remembering that pretty much no other country had cases seeded from China turn into uncontrolled community spread in the way Italy did, before or after them, except perhaps South Korea - the whole rest of the pandemic seems to trace back to Italy's massive undetected and uncontrolled community outbreak. It was obvious that something different had happened in Italy, and there wasn't enough evidence to say exactly what or what the implications would be for the rest of the world.
I find it motivating to have the story of how someone uses the skill to solve a complex real-world problem. I think you are right that it is overwhelming to start out by solving that complex large-scope problem first.
Of course the war started much earlier when Putin realized Ukrainians don't want to be his vassals like Belorussians. This was completely unacceptable for him because he considers Ukraine to be his own territory, not a country with people who can decide about their own fate. That's why whenever people in Ukraine or Belarus protest, they got shot with sharp bullets. But in Euromaidan it turned out the overall feeling to turn away from Russia and form a bond with Europe was too strong to stifle and Putin decided to use soldiers: first, to take over Crimea, which was very easy because most people there were Russians, and then, when he saw no opposition, he decided to take over Donbas. ATthis point Ukrainians realized if they don't do something he will eat their country patch by patch so they started to fight. But Putin never gave up.

The argument he repeats about Mexico is ridiculous because Russia is already bordering with several NATO countries, and none of them would ever think about attacking Russia - you just don't attack a nuclear superpower. It is a convenient excuse he's using all the time but he's a few decades late. He is thinking in terms of ancient tribes fighting about some piece of land - nobody is thinking in this way today. Especially in Europe with increasing integration, freedom of movement, being able to work where you wish, the ancient ideas of getting more and more land for your tribe seem completely outdated (and should be for Russia, too - with so much land and so few people).
my idea of success, in order:

1. financial independence (enough passive income not to work if i prefer)

2. own my own home (large enough to grow a family)

3. have a family

In my mid 30s, pretty much given up on 3 and 2, as 3 depends on 2.

So I am just left with 1 to aim for.

If You think that having family will make You long-term happy think twice. This is something that You cannot know up front - its a little bit like with extreme situations such as accidents or conflicts - no one knows how he will behave and how he will feel util the situation happens).

This family thing, especially with children, is a gamble and You can get unimaginable bad cards and there are no take backs. I may be skewed a bit because most people that I know become so unbearably unhappy after starting family that You would never want to spend time with them. For some it resolved itself (after children grow up and left home) and for some it destroyed their life.

I think this is almost certainly an inside job. You don't just lose $325 million and not find out about it for a week. That's naive.
Any sales process large enough to require an RFP will attract low-cost bidders who write good proposals but consistently fail to deliver quality work. Writing an RFP that's specific to a single company is one way to avoid dealing with the low-cost bidders.
Before I learned how to program, I used this software called "Klik&Play", later replaced by "Multimedia Fusion". This was over 20 years ago, but apparently the software still exists and works in a similar way:

For the logic, you get a table where every column is essentially a class, and each row is an if-then construct. The first column can be a condition, implicitly called once per frame, or an event with an optional condition. In each cell you can add actions that should be called on the instances of the class for its column. Everything is selected through simple dialogs.

For example, you'd make a condition/event like "Bullet collides with enemy", then add an action "Destroy" under "Bullet" and "Enemy" classes, something like "Play 'boom.wav'" under the "Sound" class, and "Add 1" to some "Counter" class. If I recall correctly that is.

This ended up getting me into programming, because I was able to quickly achieve results while being able to start experimenting with the UI before reading a single tutorial or any sort of document. I think discoverability is the killer feature. I could easily see that instead of destroying an entity, I could spawn another one. Or I could create an entity at the point of the collision, so I'd animate an explosion effect. But the explosion would just stay around, so I looked around what I could do... found an "Animation ended" event, so I simply made another rule that would destroy the explosion object when its animation ended. And so on.

I think another reason is that game logic is messy yet simple. So you don't want a lot of boilerplate code or having it scattered across lots of files, otherwise you're not getting a good overview. But I can't vouch for modern visual programming languages to solve that problem since I haven't really tried them.
