I taught comedy improv for many years. One tip I would give new performers is to adopt an alter ego for the stage (a fun fake name and/or personality) and to choose a totem (an object) that they wear to do just that such as shoes, a shirt, watch, etc.

This helped so many different people such as accountants, pre-k teachers, stay-at-home moms, and even university professors get out of their shells, prevent their stage fright, and to be more energetic on-stage when their normal persona is calm, cool, and collected.

I do believe we also have an alter ego in three different situations such as work, home, and play. Another common thing I would teach is that you can alter your characters in scenes easily by adopting one of those personas of the character you're portraying.

I believe many people adopt an alter ego without knowing it today. These are YouTubers, Streamers, Conference Speakers, and really anything where there's a concept of a "stage".

The book "The Alter Ego Effect" by Todd Herman goes into this further, but my favorite material on this is "Impro" by Keith Johnstone.

Hi everyone! Author here. I'm happy to answer questions.

I wrote this a couple years ago. Since then I've been working on my own CRDT called Diamond Types[1], which uses a lot of these ideas to be bonkers fast. I've built several OT based collaborative editing systems, and diamond types is much faster than any of them - though rust and wasm might be the real MVPs here. I wrote a follow-up to this article last year when I got that working, talking about how some of the optimizations work. That article is here[2].

A fair bit has changed since I wrote that article. Yjs has started a rewrite in rust (called yrs[3]). And Automerge has apparently dramatically improved performance based on some of the ideas I talk about in this article. Oh, and diamond types has been rewritten from the ground up. Its now about 5x faster than it was last year, by completely changing the internal structure. But thats a story for another day.

Unfortunately I still only support collaborative text editing. Adding full JSON support comes soon, after I document some more of the tricks I'm doing. Its really fun work!

Why do I only support collaborative text editing? Because I care about performance, and text CRDT performance is hard because you have so many individual changes - generally one for each keystroke! Making text editing (and list CRDTs in general) fast opens up a lot of other design approaches for a general purpose CRDT. But we've still got to do the work itself. To make that happen, my plan is to add full JSON editing support to diamond types using shelf[4]. Shelf is a super simple CRDT which fits in 100 lines of javascript. The next piece of work is marrying them together.

on firefox the drag detection is broken- once you drag, it sticks to the cursor until you click again, instead of on mouseup like you'd expect- seems like part of the drag event is captured by an offscreen element or something?

I read that as the only factor all three share. n=3 would of course be kinda weak for this but apparently n>3 by a lot, so ...

This sort of thing seems to be not that rare, I know of a few other ... toxic schools, including my (German) secondary school. A few years after I graduated, they roped off a building after repair workers discovered that the building was chock full of asbestos, with the stuff present in air samples as well. Officially no one knew it was there at all, and the building was built at a time when asbestos toxicity was already widely known (not yet outlawed though).
Have a look at Lima, which I assume is what this project uses for its Linux VM. Then you'd need to find an X client for MacOS. That would probably give you the biggest chance of getting GUI working, but you would probably be one of the first to try.

Or just replace MacOS with Linux.

To add to this point, wealthy people can afford to rebuild and insure, especially in areas that are highly sought after.

I lived near a coastal area that was a popular location for the very wealthy to own beach homes in. Hurricanes would regularly inundate the area, destroying homes and literally washing some of them away. However, like clockwork, the mansions on the beach would be rebuilt and by the summer it would be like nothing happened.

Meanwhile, in poorer adjacent neighborhoods, there are still abandoned remains of homes that were destroyed by hurricanes over a decade ago, because people couldn't afford to rebuild.
To clarify, that was my plan, but thankfully I no longer think of doing that. Yes, there is still something big that I want to do, but now I have many other aspects that I want to add and share as well, so it's more of a relief now.

hoestly that's an real disservice to how hard it would be even to paint something from a projected image, this is the same kind of reductive judgement digital artists get today about making their art, I'd challenge anyone to try and take a camera obscura make a painting that looks as good as that one without the vast experience and training behind even simple things like handling and mixing pigments and filling in details that have moved.

even just knowing what you're looking at is a process of un-training your brain, a good art education actually starts from learning to see "correctly" and unsee all the shortcuts that your brain takes.

I used SLES for years at a bank (ran thousands of them) and it was as good (if not better) than any other distro. I always preferred it to RedHat. When they Suse released SLED 10 in 2007, it really was talked about. The easy YaST admin gui, the spinning cube desktop effects, improved Windows interoperability, autoyast for fully automatic installation from PXE boot...

Sounds to me personally like all this talk of “AI and research” and foundations for all the “good” things are really a smoke screen for 5G investment and monopoly protection through political influence.

At the same time this isn’t this always a component of power? Political parties usually pursue financial support from companies in return for favorable conditions behind the scenes. Good that someone is blowing the whistle at least.
I don't like my parents and they are unhappy with me, but we aren't dramatic people so it's no problem. I used to be angry about my childhood, but as an adult I can understand how hard parenting is and don't hate them anymore.

Back in my service desk days, we were encouraged to write and revisit SOPs in our downtime as it is and excellent way to pick up how things work, and how to write in a style that everyone is on board with.

The most effective part of that system was to get the older lady in accounts to run through some of the processes that required detail and rigor to see where things weren’t clear enough.

Most of farmers buying big loads of antibiotics are not doctors/veterinars. Maybe they are just too hacker-minded if they use to convert meds to extra gains from meat. And from my experience chicken are not that vulnerable to diseases, like rabbits for example.
One of the comments is right: book or not book, if the global technology regresses too much, humanity is fucked because there are no easily accessible resources anymore.

Currently an IC at AWS, just recently passed my six month-iversary. I'm 56.

What I have found is that you need to have good relationships with other people in the business, and you need to talk to the right people inside the hiring organizations. It is entirely possible to still fail to get hired by them, but the hiring process remains one that is still mostly driven by personal contacts.

I've been a sysadmin and DevOps guy my entire career, and now I'm moving into Support Engineering. In a way, I've been L3 tech support most of my career, because whenever the help desk has been unable to resolve problems, they would come to us on the operations side to try to help them figure out what went wrong and how it needs to be fixed for this customer.

So, now that I'm a Support Engineer at AWS, Customer Obsession is my top leadership principle that I'm paying attention to.

And yes, our team is hiring.

The KeyKOS mainframe operating system, to which users connected with terminals, had an interesting scheduling and resource metering system: http://www.cap-lore.com/CapTheory/KK/Arch/Three.Special.html...

Users could buy CPU time and grant portions of it to other users in the system (say, their employees) via keys, who could in turn grant resources to other users/ subprocesses recursively, resulting in a metering tree.

The programming language Joule, which was inspired by it, used this system too: http://www.erights.org/history/joule/MANUAL.BK8.pdf

As far as I'm concerned, as a Lisp programmer, code is data. :)

Yes, and what exactly constitutes "dead code"? Tree shakers rely on heuristics that can fail in practice. There is provably no way to remove functions from a Lisp image and guarantee your application to work. LispWorks has a "tree shaker", but has umpteen options to tame it so your application doesn't inadvertently break.

Fortunately, it is possible to remove these functions if you, an application developer, so please. Nothing stops you. It's not even difficult. But SBCL has not implemented these (potentially fallible) heuristics for you, because (and only because) an insignificant number of users would find shaving a little binary size off to be valuable at the expense of program correctness.
I wish Wiki could associate same articles from different languages in a sidebar, perhaps sort by length and last update. Sometimes other languages have better/recent writeups.
On one hand, I kinda stand by being against flash, but on the other hand, we aren't really at a better place today than when Flash was all over the place.
> This is a red flag for your complains: Is VERY likely you believe Rust is wrong, when the fact the problem is that your code is not good.

I'm gonna be blunt: This is the worst thing to come out of the Rust community, bar none. Rust is a fine language and I love to write in it, but I loathe the way Rust developers have convinced themselves that Rust is an axiomatically 'better' language and that the things you can't do in Rust, or the things that are painful to do in Rust, are a perfect circle venn-diagram overlap with the things that are just bad to do in general. It's a mindset that shuts down discussion and constantly shifts goalposts. It doesn't help anyone.

The key quotes from 2022[1]:

> "What I find alarming is there's truly only one environmental link to primary brain tumors and that's ionizing radiation. It's not contaminated water. It's not air. It's not something in soil. It's not something done to us due to bad habits," Lupiano said.

And from 1997[2]:

> What was supposed to be a simple classroom demonstration of a Geiger counter turned into a school-closing panic when the sensitive radiation detector set up a loud clamor over a rock.

> Colonia High School was evacuated and a hazardous materials team clad in lead aprons borrowed from a dentist secured the rock in a lead-lined box.

[...]

> Earth science teacher Rita English was demonstrating the Geiger counter Tuesday with small, store-bought samples when students encouraged her to try other rocks that had been kept in a storage cabinet.

> ``She touched some small rocks and it made little `click, click’ noises,″ said Tyrona Timmons, 15.

> ``Then she brought out this big rock, and when she touched it, it started beeping real loud.″

[...]

> The rock was identified as uraninite, a uranium-containing stone which exists in New Jersey but is more common in Colorado and Utah. How it came to the school is anybody’s guess and officials were trying to contact former teachers, Seitz said.

They wanted a secondary, publicly available source, which is the standard for sourcing on Wikipedia. It is a good thing that "facts" that aren't publicly verifiable can't be added to Wikipedia, both because it protects people's privacy, and because Wikipedia is not the place for opinion pieces.
I feel like you could achieve your aim by just cutting out the content that isn’t even posted by your friends (or is lazily shared by a friend, but originates with a commercial entity).
OP here - I think your interpretation (the former) is pretty spot on. I also think the less charitable interpretation is not _exactly_ wrong. The title and repetition of "Be Less Technical" are definitely not devoid of "click thirst" - but the content is intended to be more in line with "we need to find ways to talk to each other, irrespective of whether we talk to customers or compilers".

Like bro, Brockovich is still fighting, decades later. Assange is rotting away before the world's eye. Donziger is still under arrest.

Environmental activists are the number one threat in the eyes of many government agencies. Not right wing racist extremists, not corporate polluters, not too big to fail banks - environmental awareness groups.

It IS disappointing, and it IS crazy, but anything which threatens the status quo gets thrown in a black site by BOTH AISLES, and we really can't afford to pretend that's not the case.
> Lawyers, accountants, architects, and doctors, for instance, are expected to be able to speak with people from outside their profession. (I see wfme already mentioned doctors.)

Those are frontline positions working directly with laymen though. So while doctors needs to be able to talk to laymen, the chemists working in medicine factories don't. The problem here is that we have the same title for frontline and backline developers, frontline developers are doctors, they know a bit about chemistry and can prescribe and implement treatments. However there is no reason for a developer optimizing database engine queries to be able to communicate their work to laymen, as the entirety of their work are technical details no layman would care about, they are akin to the chemists working in medicine plants.

People will continue to talk past each other as long as we have the same word for those two jobs. Developers who double as product managers and work directly with clients says that technical skills hardly matters and you should be a product manager first and foremost, which is fine but they shouldn't tell pure developers that it is wrong to focus on the technical part since they don't do the same job.
Wait, I thought the purpose of life flashing before your eyes is that the brain is trying to find a past event, that might help avoid the impending death. On QI, though I cannot remember the episode, they told a story of a swimmer, who encountered a shark, and suddenly his life flashed before his eyes, thinking he was going to die. In the slides of memories, he saw his son watching a DVD about punching a shark on the nose. So he did, and it saved his life.

That explanation makes a lot of sense to me. The brain is convinced that death is imminent, and has no time to go through the normal procedure of remembering, so it just pulls up as many memories it can to the forefront, in hope that one of them might provide the answer to prevent death.
Also, there's some extra rules around people that are still alive, not sure if it's politeness, not wanting to get sued or used for harassment but probably worth bearing in mind if you're frustrated that they won't let you add random family members.
Source? Castration had very high mortality and I’m not aware of any historical slave trade where it was routinely done.
True, that does help when you want to dig into things. I think my main pain-point here is that without extra tooling, the reference is not surfaced. Compare this to Clojure, where every reference is explicit, things normally don't get "magically" created in your scope. Just by searching for a var in the current file upwards (up to the `ns` declaration), you can find out where code is coming from, which is not always possible in Rust.
Well my point was that you could extract it into a wasm blob without onnx (library independent). See tensor4 as linked in the other thread.
I think it’s worth considering not everyone will feel the same way as you. I found it amusing.

Many of the issues on this article can be solved by turning the moderation problem on its head: instead of preventing users from posting any possibly offensive content, give users tools to choose which content they are exposed to (f.ex. prebuilt blocklists that can be customized with some granularity, and shared between users)
