Amazon Abruptly Fires Senior Managers Tied to Unionized Warehouse
Sure, some assets do well when others do poorly. But labor is an asset too, and it's possible for labor to come out ahead when everything else is doing badly.
"very problematic far-right"...lol. France had Le Pen in the final round, the EU has far-right ministers in govt across the union because of PR...the Tories are centre-right (if that, Tory govts after Blair have all been very centrist). That is why Brits are puzzled by the EU, it is fuelling the far-right.

I understand why people from the EU are confused, because the far-right are in parliament in almost every nation and in govt in a few in the EU. The UK doesn't have a far right, they don't exist politically, our voting system means it is impossible.

The only far-right political party in the UK was the BNP, they don't exist anymore, never elected to Parliament, and their height was electing a few local councillors (and MEPs...ofc, even our far-right figures flocked to the EU).

Farage isn't far right, he is just called that because he opposed the EU. But UKIP has never had any MPs elected to Parliament, it has had 2 MPs (iirc) defect from the Tories, Farage has never been an MP, their only role has been in the EU Parliament.

There is no connection between the far-right and Brexit either. If you look at the Cabinet, you will see non-white MPs who supported Brexit. It is sad that everything has to be overlaid with that context (again, one reason I am glad to be shot of the EU) but it makes no sense. I suppose Europe is content to keep fighting the battles of the early 20th century again, but people in the UK are happy to move forward (this is also why Brits are opposed to PR voting, sounds good in theory but then you look to Europe and see the nutters they have in govt...FPTP has neutralised that debate totally).

It seems like this is at least slightly backwards in reasoning.

I think it has less to do with something sounding more precise than it does with the fact that, in the real world, actual costs are only rarely a round number. As such, if there's a psychological association of non-round numbers sounding more precise, it's because non-round numbers are actually much more common. This means if you provide a round number bid, you are in reality more likely to have given a value that is incorrect.
What about "Depression" is a sign that something deep down is shifting or needs changing. After introspection, my loss of motivation is a lot of the times me knowing that I want to work on problems that I dare worthwhile for the future of humanity and earth like climate change, environmental work, planting trees and social work..., and being obliged to not work in that triggers the lack of motivation unless obliged by survival. I am very skeptical of medication to solve these kind of issues.

"Total Factor Productivity" is one way economists struggle with it. To maximize prosperity we need to be efficient with social capital, financial capital, labor and other factors of production: it is now a multiple-objective optimization problem for which there is no longer an equilibrium solution and thus it evades assigning a specific number to "Total Factor Productivity".

Coincidentally I was looking through the list of apps that do this the other day, I think I looked at all the other ones they list as competitors.

My particular use case involved images that might be very near duplicates (screenshots of the same web page), which some of the tools cover, though it feels like a slightly seperate task from the exact bit duplicates, so not all do it.

My main detriments to publishing on the web continue to be:

The less obvious and not already widely covered stuff is very situation dependent. i.e. Most advice I could share is incredibly nuanced and some of it may flip 180 degrees, depending on the particular context of the person looking for advice or help. — And I don’t necessarily pre-think all possible situations - which is also a big human problem, when making software or laws and everything in between.

The “right” advice changes over time, because everything from technology to human value systems evolve ever more quickly. So today’s wisdom may end up tomorrow’s deadly sin. And when the Internet doesn’t forget, a well meaning post today may become a big mortgage on the future.

If robustness is what's important to you, then your challenge is to do that efficiently.

For example, maybe you can use something like the Reed–Solomon error correction, which allows you to balance between no redundancy and full duplication, both in cost and benefit.

Secondly, books are overly verbose

Sounds to me like you have some pretty rather odd beliefs. It's not clear, based on this, that you really even want to read more books. I'm very unsure what to tell somebody who seems to basically be saying "I don't find reading valuable, but I want to read more." Ya get what I mean?

It might be time to work on reframing some of your thoughts about this, which might or might not end up with you deciding to even bother. Not that there's anything wrong with that, whichever way it comes out.

All of that said, the best thing I've ever done to help myself read more is simply to set a yearly goal for how many books I want to read (I use Goodreads to keep track). Having a goal hanging over my head is constant motivation to work towards it. But note that while it's a goal, it's not like the "Goal Books" are all books that are meant to be "productive" in some way. IOW, it's not all about learning, or improving skills, etc. I totally intermingle the books I read purely for leisure with the ones I read for any other purpose (which does, at times, include learning, improving skills, etc.)

ORMs are also pretty easy to use on a case-by-case basis if needed, either by using the escape hatches the ORM provides or by bypassing it altogether. Deciding "oh GraphQL isn't good for this particular use case so I'll spin up a parallel REST API" is a much bigger decision to make.
Mercury’s Comet-Like Tail
I think his phrasing is also grammatical English. The degree to which it sounds right or wrong is probably idiomatic.

"it's a blow to the chest for Plaid" is a coherent phrase

"I don't think anyone would argue that" is a coherent phrase that contains a pronoun, "that." The antecedent of this pronoun is that first phrase.

I don't think anyone would argue X can mean the statement X is so true nobody would argue it.

An example would be "I don't think anyone would argue the legitimacy of George Washington as the first president of the US" or "I don't think anyone would argue the merits of food when you're hungry"

Therefore the phrase can be correctly interpreted to mean:

I don't think anyone would argue that -> [it's a blow to the the chest for Plaid]

Online calculator: Estimating impact of food choices on life expectancy
Most of the issues in the thread are Python-specific, though, and lots of them touch on issues that are also a pain for experienced programmers: A proliferation of interpreters and environments, incomprehensible library management (including wall-of-text installation errors from apparently-unrelated compilers[0]), and (today's problem) a glut of blogspam telling you how to do things in incomprehensible ways (using incomprehensible language).

I love Python-the-language, but it's like they took the language's flexibility habit and applied it to Python-the-programming-environment, with the predictable result that going from "I know how to solve problems, but I don't know how to program" to "I can solve problems in Python" is a far more complicated journey than it was a decade ago.

What Happens If You Put a Giant Propeller on a Bike?
That's sad to hear. I'm in UT's online data science masters and I think it's great. They have some teething problems (we're the first cohort taking a lot of these classes), but it's all pretty minor stuff like delays in getting invoiced etc. We seem to have more choice in lectures than you do each semester, and we definitely don't have to spend particular days doing coursework on long weekends. Things have been pretty flexible for us so far at least. The most important thing for me is that there's enough material in there and that its reasonably advanced, so I feel like it's worth doing this one for sure.
I think GraphQL is best understood as an incomplete ORM that you have to complete yourself on the backend. If GraphQL generated SQL (given some tooling or what have you) pretty much all the problems are solved. Indeed backend-as-a-service products like Hasura or Postgraphile are this missing piece. I guess we're uncomfortable with SQL over the wire or open-to-the-world databases, but we shouldn't be.

Or maybe TLDR "dear next generation of engineers: SQL is actually pretty good".

> After I had written my first 30 articles, I thought I had said everything I wanted to say. That was three years ago, and yet, somehow I have continued putting out fairly regular content. This amazes me, because I do not know how I am doing it. Ideas just come, and many of them are actually good, meaning they have value to readers. Though most of my best writing does not attract exceptionally large numbers of readers, at times when I have been very lucky, a few of my articles have brought tens of thousands each to my website.

This is an under-appreciated part of regular writing. If you want new ideas, one of the best ways to do that is to write. One way to uncover progressively deeper ideas is to stick to the same topic. This is not easy because in the back of your head may be a voice telling you to try to get more readers. It's a diversion. Go deep instead. The Internet is filled with surface-level discussions of just about every topic. What it will never have enough of are deep-dives written by an expert.

Far-right isn't something that you fill paperwork and now you become far-right.

IMHO sending asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing is something far-right would do. Creating hostile environment to achieve something is a thing that far-right would do. Controlling access to porn and arresting people for tweets is something far-right would do. Government officials acting as they are not laws for them is something that far right would do.

Anyway, let's agree to disagree.
> often companies will give you flexibility on when you’d start with them based on the fact that you are moving

That's a really good point, I should have thought about that. Thank you.
People will have different opinions, but for me, there's nothing wrong with ORMs themselves, they are a significant productivity boost for 80% of the database interactions in your app. The tricky part is recognizing the 20% where ORMs are a bad idea, which ends up meaning that an ORM is best used not as a replacement for knowing SQL, but as a tool to make you more productive when you already know SQL.
Ask HN: Random FB Questions That Harvest Info?
On your Facebook feed, you'll nowadays find questions that seem phrased in that dopamine-trigger kind of way to prompt a responsive comment, and you'll usually find a few people you know who have commented among the "6.8M comments", thus placing it in YOUR feed.

I remember seeing an explanation as to why these exist - that the question-askers can harvest sort of useful information from the commenters. Can anyone explain? Or are there some good articles/explainers on this I can read and then link to?

(Also, anyone from Meta here who might want to consider the problem?)
That is not an obvious rejoinder that “anyone would make”.
I think we'd all be spending more time doing things that are "worthwhile" if we felt like they were worth the while. As it stands, I think the vacuousness of modern day life is hiding in plain view. Why put more effort in at work if it just amounts to a lifetime of toil for only the chance at a few years of rest far outside of your prime? Why bother learning something when you have the keen sense that a thousand other people are already working on it who are more talented and resourced than you? Long story short, we live in a world now that doesn't much value people but rather strives to capitalize on the value that people represent. Corporations and institutions have been given relatively free reign to kick people below the belt of their attention and to try and squeeze another ounce of effort, however misdirected, out of them. It's all a numbers game.
>I voted Remain, and that decision makes little sense in retrospect (not none, it was just a lot of the fearmongering turned out to be false).

Indeed. Weren't you and other Britons supposed to be fighting over cans of food in a Max Max-style "anarchy in the UK" situation by now?

I especially loved the glee—yes, glee—shown by Remainers when there was a shortage of truck drivers. *PROOF* that Brexit was a colossal mistake!!!!1!!!1!! As opposed to COVID19-related staff shortages that also affected the continent.

Well, personal opinion: I don't think it's clear that the UK Civil Service has been more of a blocker to Brexit than they would've been for any other earth-shattering policy change.

Part of the social contract of joining that sector is, I expect, that staff will be working across successive governments and policy changes, and yes, people are going to have some personal connections to day-to-day events, but the professionalism and processes of the institutions involved are intended to minimize and overcome those biases (and apply correction when they aren't, with supporting evidence and investigation).

That said, identification of weaknesses and opportunities for structural improvements are welcome. "Wait a hundred years" is always an option, although if there are shorter-term risks then I'll always be listening for those.

Assuming the ratio of the average salary to the average pension in my country stays the same, and that I will work for 40 years and retire for 10 (which is the expected case in Romania, but I expect I'll live longer), the return of the national pension fund is -78.6% of what I contribute.

There's no way I will get a meaningful pension, especially given the fact that the country is undergoing depopulation. I have to manage my own wealth.

This is an advantage that the Web browser has that is sadly under-appreciated and under-utilized (even from Web developers).

Many traditional desktop GUIs and modern Web applications would be better suited for their audience if they were instead executable SOPs. Think: a manual for how to use a given system, except at the point in the instructions where it's describing a certain feature, or where it calls for a certain step to be performed, there is some on-screen affordance that allows the reader to take care of it right there—right at the spot they're already looking at.

Some programming notebooks try to do something like this, but they usually get it wrong.

Raskin seemed to have the same epiphany (albeit pre-WWW) and wrote about GUIs being a "dead end".
A recent study shows that made up statistics are more believable if you use a very precise number. And emphasize the word "point."

Another study I read some years ago that I can probably never find again, but I am sure you are already aware of because you seem interested in this sort of thing, showed that by quoting the p value as less than 0.1% added unsubstantiated authority to the numbers.

Anecdotally though I prefer putting the statement about the p value before the statistical number.

Some guys out of Harvard, for their final year thesis that got some massive government grant demonstrated that bequeathing knowledge on the other person in the form of positive attributes, such as already having read a study, increased the chance that your statements would be believed. Especially if you use mirroring and nod as you are saying it so that they nod, and thereby agree, along with you.

Also, throwing in the fact that you personally disagree with the study you read, or point out that you think the methodology employed had some flaws, or that the results were not as conclusive as the authors claim, adds even more authority to your citing of the study.
I saw something like this but in Sectorlisp.
Nice! I tried it the patient way and, with enough luck, lines actually clear when they are completed!
The author never had to use nested queries/paginations that need to perform so he just states that problem does not exist. Well, that's one way to address it...
I'll use raw SQL (maybe not as an entire query, but something like a computed column) pretty often, for situations where I want to query things like "give me all foos with a count of bars related to them", or "give me a list of foos with the name of the latest related baz". Most ORMs would want to hydrate the graph of related objects to do that, or at least have multiple round trips to the DB server.
Like others I also believe this sounds like burnout. From what you wrote, it looks like the work you’re having to do doesn’t align with your “passion” or what you care about. This is the usually the main cause of burnout.

Few things that helped me:

1: Don’t try to cope with this by telling yourself that you’re “successful” in the eyes of the world and you should suck it up and keep going.

2: Keep figuring out what you enjoy and try to align work with it. Ofc it depends and there are trade offs.

That being said, in your case can you ask your boss if you can try the other project to see if you like it?
