There are 2 groups of people who spend a lot of time thinking about macro economics.

1) Professors who compete for prestige and make fun sounding theories like MMT and tend to have very little skin in the game if their theories create value.

2) Portfolio managers who stand to make or lose enormous sums of money if they can make detailed and accurate predictions based off of macroeconomic analysis.

I'd rather spend my time listening to group 2. If you want to listen to what people like that are thinking about markets in real time, there are plenty of youtube channels and podcasts where you can do that:

Recently my favorite is blockworks Macro (diverged off a crypto channel but this is their non crypto macro content)

This is a really cool list especially because it shows how varied people's aims are. Some people want a certain golden era of Twitter/Foursquare-type social media, but under their own control. Some people want to stretch the format of blogs beyond that of feeds. Some people want to go all-in on feeds and see what they can squeeze out of them. Some people are dicking around with RSS because they just like it. Blogging shouldn't all look like different styles of Wordpress.
Driving is inherently dangerous, regardless of impairment. Laws prohibiting drunk driving prevent excess deaths that would otherwise be commonplace if the practice were normalized.

I am in favour of total drug legalization (as consumption/possession are true victimless crimes) but impaired driving should remain prohibited. While it impossible to curtail all instances of impaired driving, we should aim to reduce its frequency where possible.
We had the internet before the web, and we had gopher. So we had an open network, the client server model and links. What the web brought was a more flexible protocol and document format. That was important, but there's no way we'd have been stuck with compuserve or AOL.
I am not going to convince anyone, I am not a missionary doing conversions, specially from a group that workships statements like,

"The key point here is that our programmers are Googlers, they're not researchers. They're typically fairly young, fresh out of school. Probably learned Java, maybe learned C or C++, probably learned Python. They're not capable of understanding a brilliant language. But we want to be able to use them to build good software. And so the language we give them needs to be easy for them to understand and easy to adopt."
Very true; yet they are also famously materialistic and capitalistic (see the many film commentaries on capitalism out of South Korea). I wonder if these surgeries are by Western or Korean beauty standards. That is, are people largely trying to obtain Western features through surgery.
Have you ever thought that most brand new cars does not have any CD/DVD player to listen to music? But hey, all of them have USB connections and have Spotify. I think that this is a big deal because a lot of people only listen to music while driving.
Well, it's not like Germany would want to sell more expensive cars or something?! :)

Note that expensive entry level cars compete with the used cars. Plenty of them. Somehow those are still able to drive on the road despite not having all those safety features (and polluting more).

I've used paper notebooks in the past (also for thinking), but I struggled with finding my notes again. With a digital system (even just plaintext files), you can use search or grep or something, and find all relevant notes that contain your query.

I used a few paper notebooks to write down my thoughts during my Master's, and it was always difficult to find where I wrote about a particular experiment, paper, or anything that wasn't write-only. I would figure out when I wrote about that and go through the dates, but it's nowhere as convenient as grepping by an author name. This made me switch to digital notes (in Obsidian) for my current job.

How do you deal with this? I'd love to get back to paper notes again.

> Numerous participants in our survey indicated a preference for not being required to use a smartphone, hardware token, or browser extension. We thus aim to allow users to use either a smartphone or a browser extension, based on their preference, expanding on our original design that focused exclusively on a smartphone. We also note that a browser could directly implement our system, avoiding the need for an extension.

I'm glad they captured this design requirement. There is a real danger that future global auth systems will move towards a root of trust which is even more oligarchic than the Web PKI model of certificate authorities, namely the FIDO Alliance device attestation/revocation system, or relying on the TPM systems of a few OS/CPU manufacturers.

With all due respect to Paul McCartney, he is just a pop artist of his time. It's not even classical music, let alone CEO of cutting edge enterprises that are likely to change the world.

It's crazy how much hate Elon gets when it's obviously just different politics... a different set of opinions. It's similar to how much some people hate Bill Gates, for no reason, and with zero perspective as to how much he has changed the world.

Is Valve really going to file a lawsuit against him and argue in court whether this actually happened or not? They're not. Do they even have grounds to file a lawsuit? Likely not, American courts aren't that sympathetic to libel claims.

But let's assume for a minute that what you're saying has some merit. Maybe Valve does have grounds to sue. And maybe they're interested in suing. In that case, is this lousy attempt at being coy helpful? It's clear from his bio that he's only worked at one such company. So it's abundantly clear to everyone who he's working for.

In reality, this pattern ("worked for a large software-advertising company with a double O in it's name") is fucking annoying. It's designed to make the reader curious and more likely to read the rest of what's written. It's similar to clickbait in that sense. And I wish to God it would stop.

Money is clearly a factor, but I think a lot of it comes down to culture in the working group. Promotions mean status upgrades, and in a lot of these companies, status is actually important.

At least at Microsoft, there's a culture of where your title determines if you're a part of the "in group" or not. Not at least Senior? Forget about anyone outside your immediate working group taking you seriously, let alone deferring to your judgement on things. Not at least Principal? Put your ambitions aside, because you won't be allowed to make decisions that are actually important. There's exceptions to this, like if you're in charge of something nobody else thinks they understand.

As a result, this means that there's a lot of squabbling and weirdness around September. Especially in the Senior -> Principal jump, since that is also influenced a lot by department budget. There's also not any official acknowledgement of a good terminal level. Implicitly, that's the Senior band (and really the 2nd level within the band), because beyond that you're usually expected to do more than just be a wildly productive individual contributor. But everyone who's Senior eventually feels the pressure to somehow level up to Principal, because they have the expertise to make important decisions but their organization often won't allow them to be in the room where those decisions are made. Thus the backstabbing, jealousy, weirdness, and more.
>Can anybody explain the relevance of cosmology and astrophysics to societal progress?

What is "societal progress" anyway? I'd argue that society is regressing, not progressing. I'd further argue that the worth of your pursuits and endeavors have no relation to the progression or regression of society at large.

> “Don’t be so sure of yourself, short man!”

The problem is that it's still socially acceptable to see short stature as some objective faux-pas. There's really no difference between a person proudly declaring they only like "white" people and a person declaring they only like "tall" people. If the guy said "Don't be so sure of yourself, black man" maybe it would have been acceptable in the 1920s, but it surely isn't now, and the fact that we can't see that calling someone "short" derogatorily is the same form of prejudicial discrimination shows that we as a society still don't understand the root of racism and prejudice. It's wrong to deride a person based on skin color not because it hurts their feelings, but because our preconceived notions on their inferiority hold no objective basis in reality except those derived from our flawed social perceptions.

Maybe at one time short stature was a decent signal for childhood malnutrition, but in our modern society short stature is mostly a matter of genetics, and there aren't really downsides to short stature in modern life except socially derived ones. It used to be sexy to be fat, but as social perceptions caught up with the reality that calorie dense foods was actually abundant, we shifted our social preferences to fit bodies.

I worked at a Scala shop about 10 years ago. Everyone had their own preferred "dialect", kind of like C++, resulting in too much whining and complaining during code reviews. IMHO, the language is too complex. Also, the compiler was slow, and the IDE support was plain awful (Eclipse was especially bad, IntelliJ was better.) Keep in mind this was over a decade now, so I'm sure things have improved.
I am surprised that Astronomy Now would call this a “great conjunction”.

Most 'optional' types have a 'map' function that allows you to apply a function to it, if it isn't None. That seems like a decent middle ground, though maybe less useful when writing a few short functions.
It's apparently common for Koreans to make operations to widen their eyes to look more like anime characters.

In Japan, it used to be a necessity for women to use extremely tight shoes in order to contain feet growth, as women with large feet were less desired or something.

In Brazil, the most common surgery for women is probably bum enlargement rather than breast.

In some parts of Myanmar, women need to have very long necks decorated with coils... I would guess they obsess over their appearance at least as much as any modern western woman does.

People are people everywhere and will obsess over things that are important to them, no matter how bizarre it may look to someone from a different culture.

You should have quoted the sentence just before:

> I agree that blind auditions can make sense—even if they do not have the large effects claimed in that 2000 paper, or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.

so, what the OP said

> Many orchestras switched to blind auditions, and it drastically increased the number of female musicians.

is incorrect because quoting again from the article:

> or indeed even if they have no aggregate relative effects on men and women at all.
I used these Leuchtturm1917 A5, dot-grid with fountain pens for years. Still love paper and pen, but have switched almost completely to the Remarkable2 for well over a year now. It's close enough that the infinite-capacity notebook and syncing to cloud are worth the slightly worse than paper experience.
There’s a different experience of writing longhand that yields to a certain kind of brainstorming that I like quite a bit.

I ended up buying a Remarkable 2 which is an e-paper writing tablet. Sort of an expensive impulse purchase, bought off an Instagram ad of all things. I love it and carry it with me all the time.

The software is fine, not great but it works. The writing experience is excellent though, it’s as close to the UX of actually writing in a notebook as I can imagine and I definitely am happy with the purchase.
IMHO Haskell's lazy evaluation has some significant disadvantages compared to SML's strict evaluation. In particular, lazy evaluation makes it difficult to find the performance bottlenecks in a particular piece of code or to determine the time complexity of an algorithm just by reading it.

Furthermore, subtle changes in how a function is written (for instance, making a multiplication function not evaluate the right operand if the left operand is zero) can cause wildly unexpected performance changes in that function's callers. In effect, the performance of a function is no longer just determined by that function's structure and by the function calls it contains; performance of one function now depends heavily on the implementation details of others and the context in which that function is used.

Granted, any optimizing compiler can have this effect, but it's rarely noticeable in strictly-evaluated languages, where at least to some extent the order of evaluation must correspond to the structure of the code.

I sympathize with your point that being able to use simpler tools (such as grep) is often a good thing instead of having to rely on heavy-duty functionality (such as a full IDE/language server). That said:

- Ctrl+F in a file specifically isn't guaranteed to always return a hit with Go since a package can span multiple files, and you can have methods in other files.

- Increasingly many tools (like Sourcegraph and GitHub) make rich code navigation available on the web, without having to use an IDE or check out the code locally. Yes, it's not perfect for all languages, but it's improving every day. Similarly for documentation tools in different ecosystems -- I think both Haddock (Haskell) and rustdoc support cross-linking references to definitions.

- If you have textual code search for dependencies, you can still grep through the code with a regex like `func \(.* *?MyType\) myMethod`, and it will give you hits in other packages too.
The monthly subscription only make sense if you consider that new data brokers are popping up all the time and opting out is a constant process. That said, it seems like 90% of the value you get from a one-time usage, but of course they insist on a subscription.

But my solution to that is to use a burner credit card number! Specifically from privacy.com. I just make a new card with a limit of $20 to ensure it can't be billed again next month. I should of course just cancel the subscription, but if I forget they can't charge me next month anyway. I highly recommend privacy.com or other burner card services.
"Safe" is a pretty relative term; there are no shortage of complications that can arise from any of these surgeries (though the risk profiles are different, there are definitely still risks of permanent injury).

At the end of the day, these are elective surgeries too frequently used as an attempt to mask a pathological low self esteem.
> It’s not clear if a value that is passed via pointer is intended to be mutated or not. (const-ness / mutability) (maybe it’s passed via pointer just because the size of the struct is large?)

The dilemma is even richer than that -- what if the function call is inlined, with the struct known to be instantiated in the caller? If so, size of the struct doesn't matter. In C, inlining can be forced, so passing a struct by value can be assured to be economical. The programmer has no such option in Go.
This is a great look at just got complicated the brain is. What we experience and are conciously aware of, is only a fraction of the activity in one's brain. People that are convinced their limbs aren't their own, people that lose the comprehension of the concept of 'the left side'(ie of their body), people that are convinced they are stuck in the year 1990-- the brain works in a very specific way and damage to certain areas can derange the whole process and create unexpected effects. Often this is losing access to functionality that we think "just is"-- when in fact such functionality is the result of a complex integrated circuit in the brain.

American civil system is not based on merit or reason. Anyone can file for any reason, any decent lawyer can make some claims that will require you to argue against, else they be automatically defaulted to true and you lose. It doesn't matter if the big corp wins or not, the toll it takes on you is threat enough.

This isn't about civil disputes anyways. No employer wants to see a prospective new hire trash talking their previous company. Doesn't matter if it's deserved or not, it's seen as a liability.
