I agree with you in general. I think over time fields that are "fuzzy" with definitions, like psychology, will hopefully add additional layers of specificity to a number of neuro diseases/ailments/conditions. In the end if you took any condition out of the DSM each human probably falls some where along a spectrum for each one and the ultimate combination is what makes us "us" as individuals.

I could certainly see autism be rated on a 1-10 scale of severity to provide additional clarity or each one of those ten points on the gradient receiving a new diagnostic name. Going further we could probably have a broader scale that includes severe autism on one side and severe empathy on the other. The empathetic traits aren't as well studied even though being severely empathetic can also have a host of social challenges.
> Where are people learning these things, and what do we do to teach them better things?

Learn to learn and learn to work carefully. It starts in school and should be part of a proper college/university education or vocational training.

There's several ways of learning the specifics: by experience on-the-job, which can be hard if mistakes can get you fired; or by putting in the work in your free time.

If your job is to work with certain web frameworks and you're not very experienced, either ask senior devs to assist/review before going live with critical changes. Alternatively, practice at home. Unpopular, but you need to get experience from somewhere. OSS projects are a great way to do that - be that by creating your own or by contributing to an existing one.
I guess this works for explicit features, but might not work for omissions, especially the tiny features and bugs.

Small annoyances might add up, and the GP's point is that this incentive system doesn't reward those who try to fix them. Unless... somebody's deranged enough to keep known and fixed bugs in a customer facing product behind an experiment flag to see how a small percentage of unlucky users would react...
It seems like Google has listened to criticisms of their previous system where-in employees had to spend considerable time and effort preparing their promo packets.

My impression is that the previous burden on the employees to promote themselves is not a good use of the employees time; instead of focusing on just doing good work, the focus becomes on reviewing the past and on self-promotion.
Musk is a revolutionary thing because for the first time you can invest or divest in a celebrity/politician, and in a very direct and liquid manner . Tesla stock price is a function of Musk "approval rating", celebrity status and trust among the population, in the past year or so the it finally became clear to everybody and there is no more confusion around the matter. Previously some people were saying that this wasn't about Musk but about the companies, now that thesis has been put to rest and finally even those people had to admit that it's all about Musk. So essentially you can now bet on his further rise (eg. Mr. Musk goes to Washington) or his downfall, or even a relatively stable future for him from now on.

You can't find anything like that for Biden or Trump or Bernie or De Santis...yes there are betting lines open, but they are event based (election) and they don't have nearly enough liquidity as Tesla's stock, which is essentially a perpetual betting line.

It is spurring a golden age for political commentators, pundits and even TMZ-like journalists and people who are usually entrenched in celebrity gossip.

For example...if Musk lays his hands on Grimes and she's an extremely outgoing person and tells her circle of people, then it's in the hands of TMZ by noon.

That news is a 300+B in market cap wiped out right there. Celebrity is a very fragile thing in the US, we've just seen it with Johnny Depp. You could have made a lot of money betting on the downfall of Johnny Depp but there wasn't a market to do so.

Giving credit to whom credit is due. Italy ran a small sized POC during the years of Berlusconi, but his companies shares were essentially all tied, illiquid and not very popular among international market makers.

One step closer to a passwordless future
Organizations outliving their founders (or more generally their original cohort) is hard. For example, my wife and I belong to a ski club. (It's not as swanky as it sounds. It's just a way to co-own a kind of dumpy converted motel up in New Hampshire, with arrangements to maintain it and coordinate its use during the season.) The club was founded in 1965, which among other things mean that within the last ten years or so the leadership shifted from the founders' generation to my own. There was quite a bit of conflict about things like maintenance priorities (e.g. do we upgrade some of the bathrooms to be more senior-friendly or do we bring the kitchen up to code) and expanding membership. One of the biggest controversies has been use of electronic devices in common areas during social hours, which mostly put my own generation on the side of our elders opposite those even younger. Apparently the debates about smoking were even more contentious, but that was before we joined.

At this point the oldest members have passed on or shifted to weekday-only use (it's cheaper), so things have mostly settled down, but there was definitely some drama during the transition. And that's with ~50 families engaged in a recreational/social activity. Imagine the same in a huge company with customers and business needs and people's livelihoods involved. That is always going to be a bit rough.
The minting site doesn’t really sound all that satirical or in jest. This was the project that got absolutely shit on in the twitter quote tweets if I recall correctly
I had an interview at a startup years ago (got the job) that was grueling, about six hours total, you met with six different teams of three people, from different disciplines across the company. It was sort of a good cop/bad cop thing. Not to aggressive, but just seeing if you were willing to admit you didn't know when you were asked a questions you didn't know (and there were lots I didn't know) and how you reacted in the situation. Some people don't handle 'not knowing', and try to BS their way through. Then, some are apologetic when they get called out, and some dig in. If you fell into that last group, you were not getting a job. If you fell into the second group, it was more of a sliding scale. Did you attempt to BS your way through multiple times across the multiple teams? Or did you realize, the first time you got called out, that it wouldn't work.
I also like having backing of a reputable chain. I’ll look into homewood suites.

If i need a hotel, usually I first try Marriot as that’s the one I collect points on. I like their cheaper brand Aloft, each hotel has a free thing usually attached to the bar, such as billiards or in one case a retro arcade. If nothing on there works for me, or if I need an apartment/kitchen, I use booking.com as a search engine. Then I book directly, unless booking.com is more flexible.

Booking directly means you can usually call the front desk quickly and change your checkin/checkout dates and often can get early checkin and late checkout. Last month I was traveling for work and booked directly. Not only could I check in at 10am and take a nap, when plans changed I spent 5 minutes on the phone to extend one stay and shorten the next stay. My colleague used a travel agency and when he called them he got put on hold while they called booking.com! Ultimately he (well our company) paid for 2 hotel rooms that night. It’s even more important to book flights directly for the same reason.

These days, Covid can easily change your plans. I’ve not gotten Covid yet, but I’ve had flights cancelled due to it, and once had to change my flights because my pre-travel Covid test was in the wrong format to return home.
Maybe you can explain further, but that seems to be a slightly different problem. The central issue in the article seems to be what the money is spent on, not necessarily the amount of money spent. Given the amount of waste cited, it seems like there is ample money, it's just being funneled away from fundamental research because it's politically more palatable to fund applied research.
something very salty is up!
The problem originates with people releasing domesticated rabbits into the wild when they decide they no longer wish to care for them as pets. Unfortunately, this is almost always a death sentence for the creature which won't understand how to survive in the wild, lacks camouflage and will likely get picked off by a predator within several days. If you've ever taken a walk through Discovery Park near Seattle, you'll see a similar spectacle. Please, if you ever think about doing this, stop and bring the animal to a shelter, or try to re-home them yourself instead.

Cult-like behavior with a healthy dash of resume driven development. All it is. They tend to be the loudest people in the room and so then management says, okay, do this.
Well, I don't visualize at all, so you could be on to something.
I don't think you understand. This isn't supermajors welching on contracts to get free work. The work stopped coming in because of the commodity price collapsed and the only oil being produced is from wells that have already been drilled. Those wells eventually run dry and aren't being replaced.
Thanks so much for the response!
I believe we have the capacity to live on Mars and even eventually the Moon. The Earth is still much more hospitable then either of those. We have proven oil reserves that will last 100 more years. So lets transition to electric and nuclear before then.

Also, be careful of Marxians and other Ideologues who would look for any excuse to tear society down so they can try their social experiments again. Be that class, identity, or climate. Solutions, yes. Tear everything down because it isn't perfect, no.
Ya, but a lot of the time you have ostensibly well-meaning people spread around the attitude that it's wrong to be intolerant of others, unless that person is white, or a man, or you're a transphobic woman if you didn't use a particular definition of woman, or you're a creep by default if you're a man. In the last 8 years this sort of rhetoric has been amplified more than ever before, and not just in the states (though arguably that's the dumb dumb epicenter). It also sounds like sort of meme right-wing talking points, and I'm tired of those conversations too (which are also amplified by social media in the same way), but they do come from somewhere.

It shouldn't be controverial to say "This is a space that's welcoming for everyone, unless you start obviously making people feel like they don't belong. It's not ok to harass or attack someone because of their skin colour, or religion, or gender, no matter what that is."
Could you share some details on your solar setup?
This is not a noteworthy observation. Opening a marketplace for third party skins is basically entering an entirely new business. You need suddenly to manage obscenity censorship, ip infringement, fraud, aml for vendors, rendering issues with the skins.

Epic doesn't want to be in that business. That's fine. We can regulate them like a store. Apple wants to be in that business. Also fine. Let's regulate them like a marketplace.
> Your metabolism goes UP under fasting. Not down.

Short-term fasting might. Long-term, extreme fasting slows metabolism.

> In that case then needing to consume 5500-6000 calories to maintain weight is not unreasonable.

Let's assume that's correct, and the person in question is huge and needs 6,000 calories a day to maintain weight. To lose a kilogram a day you'd still need to eat nothing and do 1,700 calories of exercise a day above baseline to lose a kilogram a day.

You probably wouldn't be able to eat nothing for 18 days, so you'd actually have to burn the equivalent in exercise for whatever you ate.

Let's play with some numbers. Some of the heaviest athletes around are front-row rugby players. 150kg would be right around the top end of that range. If they were on a 50% calorie reduction diet they'd be needing to burn 4,700 calories a day. That's still about 100km of cycling even if you're 150kg. On a very restricted diet. For 18 days in a row.

I believe some Buddhist monks go in for multi-week extreme fasts, but I think they spend their time meditating rather than doing exercise.
A tool I've used with Django in the past is the one: https://github.com/3YOURMIND/django-migration-linter

It helps with the problem that if you're running several application servers it's important to avoid migrations that are backwards incompatible - since if some of your application servers haven't yet updated to the latest code you could get errors when they try to run queries against the migrates database.
Long enough with the suspense, tell the drama!
That's lovely.

Who would write like that nowadays? I always feel like this old way of writing is a sign of higher beings.
> People still trying to revive Perl against modern fad, for example, Python.

Lmao Python has been around since 1991 only three years after Perl appeared. How's it a fad? Sucess of python is a testament to the difference a simple and beginner-friendly syntax can make as well as the "batteries-included" paradigm. Most people don't realize how much of a difference these things make especially in removing the initial barrier to get started with programming. There's a reason Go language creators enforced a rigid formatting requirement. It not only improves readability but helps in creating clever tools for syntax checking and other tasks. Readability is key, the fact that Perl code is compatible with that 20 years before makes no difference as they have such bad readability (especially quickly made scripts for sysadmin tasks which no newbie can understand and maintain now). So even for now Python is the best choice for shell scripting, eventually until Go takes over. At this point unfortunately I don't see any area where Perl can make a difference compared to other languages.
Well said. I worked in retail in college as well and it sounds like we porbably have similar stories.

I've heard the comment multiple times that everyone should work in a restaurant at least once in their lives so they have a better understanding of what the employees go through. I tend to agree, and I would probably add retail in there as well.
I'm of the project creators. Happy to discuss your specific use case and evaluate different providers.

Some recent feeedback:

"Hi yes, we are testing SuperTokens right now, and we are loving it
Thanks for the great tool btw. it is really comfortable to integrate it into the project.

at first we decided to use Keycloak, spent a week to customize it for our needs. It was soooo painful :sweat_smile: then we started looking for alternatives"

"Been using it a bit for a pet project and I am quite impressed of how many integrations and documentation I find on its page. Also, really easy to use!"
Just in case you are wondering where I found out about SuperTokens, it was on HackerNews"

Yep, though that's really more of a question of chip: the M1 only supports two displays, for the laptop that includes the internal one (the Mini only supports two displays, and one only 4K via HDMI).
>How could smart drones scale massively more than firearms and trucks?

I suspect we will start seeing the first true drone swarm deployments in Ukraine over the next couple years. The world is simply not ready for how horrifying it will be. These things can be manufactured for a few hundred bucks a piece. Sony can pump out 10 million PlayStations in a few months. What happens when that kind of logistics and manufacturing is applied to kamikaze drones? You get swarms of tens of thousands of them. The entire future of land warfare from this point on will be an arms race between drone swarms. And the swarms will take on combined arms aspects; there will be AA, AT, AP, incendiary, electronic warfare, observation, and hunter-killer variants. Winning wars in the future will consist of choosing the correct size and makeup of your swarm to counter the enemy's capability.
Yup, I noticed that and my Level of Care was insufficient to go and edit my comment a second time to fix it. But, thanks for confirming that it could have worked!
I'd make sure those include WARN or ERROR (I'd use logging to do that), that way you can grep for those. Spot checking might be difficult if the logs get long.
After my son (19) got a regular job I noticed a much better disposition and level of responsibility. He was in college for a year and got tired of it and wanted to work. His life was mostly video games before that...zero social media.

Breaking into Technology, the Monti Way
There seems to be a lot of room for controversy when the subject is something that is infeasible to measure due to required sample size, difficulty of recruiting human subjects, and multicollinearity of features.

Because of the above, the language of suggestion ("associated with" or "correlated with") dominates these studies.

The underlying problem is one of separation: the studies do not say that social media use causes "plummeting teen mental health," nor do they say that social media use alone affects teen mental health.

There are some interesting conclusions by the cited studies however:

> The 12-month prevalence of major depressive episodes (MDEs) increased from 8.7% in 2005 to 11.3% in 2014 in adolescents and from 8.8% to 9.6% in young adults (both P < .001). The increase was larger and statistically significant only in the age range of 12 to 20 years. [0]

> Rates of major depressive episode in the last year increased 52% 2005–2017 (from 8.7% to 13.2%) among adolescents aged 12 to 17 and 63% 2009–2017 (from 8.1% to 13.2%) among young adults 18–25. Serious psychological distress in the last month and suicide-related outcomes (suicidal ideation, plans, attempts, and deaths by suicide) in the last year also increased among young adults 18–25 from 2008–2017 (with a 71% increase in serious psychological distress), with less consistent and weaker increases among adults ages 26 and over.

As an example from my son, a 13 year old white kid, gave me is that if you have one of the "diversity cards" (minority, LGBQT+, female sometimes, or some other thing) than you get to joke and talk in a way than those that don't have such a card. So his friends that are gay or black or indian or disabled are able to tease each other about it and have more liberty to use terms that my son is not allowed to. The gay kid can joke with the indian kid about wearing a turban (they are middle schoolers, their understanding of life is still a bit shaky) or whatever. My son is on the bottom of the pack for all of that. We talk about it and we're still working through the fairness of the situation. He's an empathic kid, and is decently informed for his age, so he gets it, but it also sucks to grow up in a world of "bias is wrong except against white people and especially against white males".
Can you explain it? Is it something that's entirely dependent on understanding US-only cultural references?
Self correcting markets work, when the government doesn't reduce the supply, reduce exploration, close down pipelines, and then make the oil company's out to be the bad guys.
Every programmer should not be re-solving the problem of library distribution just to distribute their library. This is a solved problem; a go-style git repository model is the bare minimum that a language should have.

While what you're saying is true it appears this was more of a classic wooded ambush, although we cannot see the full surrounding terrain, so it's possible there are buildings nearby.

Yes, but it's not like this only happens with small/new languages. Even today, Go-lang binaries will often get detected by various Windows anti-malware software. They even have a section in their FAQ about it [0].

Also, in Hare's specific case, it doesn't _really_ matter as they will never support Windows or MacOS [1], and there isn't a significant presence of anti-malware software on linux distros.

I think this is why I liked DS9 so much more than TNG or Voyager. It put less of a fourth wall between the conflict on the screen and the real-world conflicts it tried to map to, and it handled them without cynicism or easy, unrealistic solutions. When a chunk of the station got blown off, you saw people working on it in the opening of the next episode. Conflicts weren't always solved with a good speech.

Author here, and a few things I'd like to clear up.

> 99% of the databases are small enough to have some degration/downtime/exceptions

I agree that most DBs are small enough to perform the migration operation in a single transaction. However the choice to have downtime isn't solely an engineering question. It's also a product/business consideration.

> Let's say you change a relation from n-1 to a n-m.. this is not gonna save you. You need to deploy a new version of the code. If you want to roll back, you might loose data, or some code doesn't work. It's just a mess, takes more time, is more error prone.

Agreed. This article isn't meant to cover every possible migration, but a good starting point for most of them. Gives a framework to make think about how to implement n:1 -> n:m

> Most companies are not "big tech".

I'm not working in big tech. I'd consider myself working firmly within small tech. And these technique exactly the same if we had exactly 1 API server and 1 small database instance.

> Teens are aware that they are going to inherit a pretty terrible world, and are powerless to do anything about it.

Maybe this is the actual problem. Teens are being told the world is terrible by pessimists when there truly hasn’t been a better time to be alive.

The world is amazing and beautiful. Of course there are atrocities, there always are, but the developed world is living a pretty amazing life. Even the poor relatively speaking.

Teens only thing they are going to inherit a terrible world because adults (and media) tell them the world is terrible. Stop the nonsense negativity and give the youth confidence to solve some of the harder problems humans face.

If someone lives a sad life and projects that on to the youth then that person is the problem. Kids are incredibly impressionable and impressing them with your knowledge about atrocities in the world does no good for their psychie
