Is IA even a discipline anymore? I haven’t heard people speak in those terms for almost a decade, and it’s probably been longer since I heard it frequently.

If it is still a discipline, what does one read to pick it up?
The whole conversation has been a bit sloppy about the differences between design and looks (and the difference is not entirely clear most of the time) but suffice to say: If you intent for your page to do x and you accomplish that because of and not in spite of the design, then, by definition, the design is good (and it might even be great).

> If the intent is to earn money through your website and you are earning a ton of it, then you've succeeded

Sure, but just as that does not mean your code is great, it doesn't mean your design is. "Earning a ton of money" is not exactly a well defined company goal. For example, if a better design (or code) could yield 2x what you make, even if 1x is "a ton", you might reconsider your stance on either. Or you maybe you wouldn't. Who am I to say.
More like "unfree trade".
In our current political climate, people would attack this during the good times as wasteful and not a good use of money. I agree with you, but we have a party in this country that doesn't think good governance is a virtue.
It is a shock. It was quite funny when the UK got nil point last year. I feel a bit sorry for the performer, but (and I say this as a UK national) the UK has been acting like a massive jerk towards their neighbours and allies (as well as it's own people) for the last few years.

Populations with similar wealth and food abundance and genetics (eg developed countries in Europe/ North America with USA being an outlier in wealth) have quite different rates of obesity so I don’t really think this explanation is sufficient.
It’s always “what they don’t understand”.

Here’s the facts: there are two types of people in this world, and which you are has nothing to do with intelligence.

You either participate in these types of activities, and you always have and always will, or you don’t, never have, and never will. It’s like it’s some weird quirk in human nature where God said, 50% of the people have to be this way and 50% have to be that way in order for this to play out.

The participants have an extra hurdle to cross though. They have to watch the zero sum gambling game play out where some people win and others lose and the winners paint themselves as financial geniuses. It’s hard to be around that type of company and not feel bad.

Again, I’m not saying anyone _is_ dumb. The crypto community have many fine people who add all sorts of value to society. But if you’re participating in this game, there’s nothing anyone can do to change your mind because you’ll always have counter examples to point to, and no one likes to admit when they’re wrong, especially to themselves.
I’ve reacted differently to different benzos. One did nothing. Another triggered one hell of a mood swing (I’m bipolar). Finally settled on Klonopin, which has a long half-life. It seems to be less.. harsh?

I was prescribed some after a severe accident and it really helped me, both during while dealing with the pain and stress, and after to get over the trauma and anxiety attacks.

I've always been fervently anti-meds but sometimes when you're in a tough spot they are magical and going without is the worse alternative.

For what it's worth after 2 years of occasional use, I have no addiction at all. I've been tracking my use daily for the past year and as my anxiety has waned I've stopped taking them entirely.

I got to see this side of American medicine while in high school. My great aunt unofficially overdosed on a cocktail of drugs prescribed by a group of loosely coordinating doctors.

When she passed, her cocktail included 12 prescriptions. One of her doctors had prescribed her medication to lower her blood pressure while another had her on medication to raise it.

Depends on how you define "problem". Amphetamines may cause a lot of side effects: lower appetite, agitation, insomnia, irritability, bruxism... The list goes on. Whether these risks are acceptable or not is an individualized choice. Some side effects may even be beneficial: lower appetite for weight loss, insomnia for narcolepsy.

I have personal experience with Guanfacine (and Clonidine), beta blockers (Propanolol/Labetalol), Etifoxine, Phenibut, and a myriad of benzos.

Long history of RX for anxiety disorders, which I eventually tapered off of and quit due to dependence.

Can attest to Etifoxine being effective without side effects, guanfacine and clonidine being mildly effective. Beta blockers never did much for me but YMMV.
It's all fun and games until you realize your country has no deniability about being at war with Russia.

If you’re writing code calling static methods on instances of classes, you deserve to have that code broken.
Monarch can support both ad-hoc and periodic, standing queries of arbitrarily large size, and has the means to spread the computation out over many intermediate mixer and leaf nodes. It does query push-down so that the "expensive" parts of aggregations, joins, etc., can be done in massively parallel fashion at the leaf level.

It scales so well that many aggregations are set up and computed for every service across the whole company (CPU, memory usage, error rates, etc.). For basic monitoring you can run a new service in production and go and look at a basic dashboard for it without doing anything else to set up monitoring.

The first time I took Xanax I cleaned my kitchen and it went from mildly embarrassing to quite presentable in an hour or two. I could actually execute the things I wanted to do without fighting though ridiculous feelings.

I am treated like an addict or ridiculous when I tell doctors I'd rather not "try SSRIs" or a series of strange sedating substances because they're all so afraid of prescribing something with addiction potential (and the regulators trying to stop them).
That is a possible explanation, or at least partial-explanation. It fits nicely with the fact that the unvaccinated are at highest risk, since they likely take even fewer precautions.

That said, all of the people that I know who still are living under self-imposed lockdown all have the maximum number of doses for which they are eligible. I don't know enough people to be a statistically significant source of info, but you would expect that the group most afraid of covid should be maximally vaccinated.

But also it might be that maximally -vaccinated individuals also test most frequently, and between a false-positive rate and just the fact that these days most infections are nearly or completely asymptomatic, they're just testing positive more often and not actually infected more often.

It's all very hard to disambiguate, other than that it is clear that vaccine doses given not-recently must not have a large beneficial effect on likelihood to be infected.

Likelihood to be hospitalized is potentially different, but that data is a mess too, because we don't collect data on whether the person hospitalized was admitted for covid or was admitted for something else and then tested positive at admission.

During the Omicron surge in the winter, Los Angeles county estimated that about 75-80% of those hospitalized were hospitalized for non-covid-related conditions and just happened to also be positive for covid. But that data isn't available with any data quality.

I think you would benefit from therapy since you seem to be too sensitive. Do you feel insulted by that?

Maybe GP shouldn't insult people if they don't have thick enough skin to be treated the same.

I don't care if you're famous or not, I'll give you the same tone as you give others.

But yes I can be an asshole, never claimed not to be. I can also be nice. They way I treat people depends on how they treat others.
Not a great idea in the long run.
(Not GP) Apples make me hungry. No seriously. There's no fruit quite like apples that make my stomach sour for more food. It almost hurts. I can eat 4 apples and I'll be _stuffed_ but not _satiated_.
> Other dolls in the new Fashionistas collection include a Ken doll with vitiligo, a condition in which the skin loses its pigment cells, causing it to appear blotchy. The line also includes a doll with a prosthetic leg, a Barbie who uses a wheelchair, and male dolls that are less muscular than the original Ken doll.
> After all if it was something you could improve then it could be taught but PG et al seems to think - and I think they’re right - that it’s an innate thing.

But who will do the teaching and how can anyone figure out who it can be taught to?

Allowing the innate trait to emerge naturally avoids needing to solve these difficult problems.
I am not a physician. You don't need to worry about protein intake damaging kidneys unless you have preexisting kidney problems.
Same here with klonopin/clonazepam . I take .5mg max which is generally the starting dose, and very, very sparingly - like .5mg every few months max.

Benzos can absolutely decimate anxiety reliably - and half of my panic is the fear of not being able to control a panic attack (thus the self-feedback loop into panic). The amount I take only takes the edge off which is all I need, just knowing I have it is such a massive help at preventing panic attacks it's crazy.
It’s true that we don’t enforce the law at the borders. ICE agents get caught engaging in illegal human rights abuses all the time, but nothing changes.

Also, most people that cross at the Mexican border have legitimate asylum claims, but the US has intentionally defunded the judicial system, leading to camps and long wait times. Disbanding / defunding the courts is pretty much the definition of not enforcing the law.

However, I’m not sure how ICE warrantlessly surveilling US citizens is related to any of this.

Unsolicited tip:

If you want to sneak into the US illegally (and don’t want to bother with getting a visa to overstay), then come in along the East Coast, West Coast, Hawaii, Puerto Rico or Canada. Those places don’t have names that sound like “Mexican”, so conservative politicians don’t really bother funding border security for them. Thanks to tourism, this is particularly true of Puerto Rico and Hawaii.

This is what the vast majority of illegal immigrants do. Most scenarios where coming in via Mexico makes sense involve intentionally being detained in order to apply for asylum.
I think there is a level imbalance there, even in your statement.

I can design stuff, a bit, but at the sort of level of someone in the programming world scouring stack-overflow and putting parts together, and maybe coming up with something new (in the sense of new to me, it probably exists a great many times over already).

Some design “properly”, from fundamental building blocks and existing ideas, applying the right tools for the job. Much like I program a lot of the time.

A degree in graphics design isn't that though. There you'll be shown the fundamentals being derived from first principles, and the better students will be expected in future to maybe come up with new ideas/fundamentals.

Being a designer and having a design degree differ in a very similar way to being a developer and having a computer science degree.
This whole discussion is making me feel better than ever for choosing cannabis edibles (legal in Canada) to address stress-induced insomnia and other sleep issues for which the root cause was not something I was in a position to immediately address.

I take it a few times a week as needed, small doses (2-5mg) and I feel that I am in control of it and could go off any time.

Not to defend (or bash) the proposed extreme diet but as far as we know your kidneys will be fine handling pretty much any amount of protein you can consume unless you have kidney disease. Most of it will end up being converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis. Said diet is certainly better for you than 30 years of fast food, as evidenced by the complete lack of protein-caused-disease in medical case studies opposed to... the obesity epidemic?

Ah, I misunderstood what you meant. If you are reporting static buckets I get how that is better than what folks typically do but how do you know the buckets a priori? Others back their histograms with things like https://github.com/tdunning/t-digest. It is pretty powerful as the buckets are dynamic based on the data and histograms can be added together.
Great. I’m also super interested in your opinion.

I have to disagree with the "any reasons" part. First is if it's a psychiatric emergency administered by a nurse for psychosis but I doubt we're really talking about that.

But I think they're a valid last-resort treatment for panic attacks if we're talking less then twice a month-ish range. Reason being is that they will reliably work every time, and for many people including myself just knowing we have it can prevent panic attacks. But you still need to be treating your anxiety with therapy and/or other medications (but especially therapy) - its only a last resort.

And I mean using it very sparingly, I only take it once every few months, and only the lowest dose (klonopin @0.5mg max) to take the edge off so I can work through it, not enough to remove all the anxiety.

EDIT: Oh and anyone with addiction issues should stay away from these. They work _every time_ which is so tempting to use for just mild anxiety and my understanding is higher doses then what I take are euphoric so stay clear.
Yes. Asthma is treated with beta agonists. Beta blockers will block the effect of the asthma medication.

That is poor communication. Communication is a necessary skill for all cooperative endeavours.

I am a cog in a machine. Unusually for some one in my position I actually have a good understanding of business (studied it for years) and I prefer computer programming. Having computer programmers stick their oar in over financial matters, unasked, is not good. So I do not do it. I know my place, I like my place.
The article answers that several different ways.
I love zigzag encoding. The way it uses shift and xor is beautiful. It gives it a performance edge of 3 cycles on my cpu versus signed-leb encoding. One thing I did once, to encode UNICODE lookup tables in a smaller form (to reduce Python binary size) is I found out it can be very profitable to (1) delta encode; then (2) zig zag encode it; and finally (3) apply deflate. For example:

_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: size is 178,176 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: packed size is 100,224 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: rle size is 282,216 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: deflate size is 52,200 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: bz2 size is 76,876 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: δleb size is 47,198 bytes
_PyUnicode_PhrasebookOffset2: δzd size is 12,748 bytes

Whole experiment is plain absurd. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_soil#Mineralogy_and_comp...

> There are two profound differences in the chemistry of lunar regolith and dirt from terrestrial materials. The first is that the Moon is very dry. As a result, those minerals with water as part of their structure (mineral hydration) such as clay, mica, and amphiboles are absent from the Moon's surface.

> The second difference is that lunar regolith and crust are chemically reduced, rather than being significantly oxidized like the Earth's crust.

They added water and oxygen. Which undoes both of above. So they ended up with more or less aseptic earth dirt. And yeah, plants grow in that, duh.

Very misleading. If you're solely looking at the price, it was on June 8th 2021 that El Salvador Legislative Assembly voted to make Bitcoin legal tender [1].

The price of Bitcoin on June 8th had a intraday low of $31,114.44 USD [2]. The price of Bitcoin as I write this comment is $30,144.71 USD[2].

Yes, its down slightly since they signed it into law, but hardly tanked.

Sure the price of Bitcoin went a lot higher AFTER they decided to use it as legal currency, but the headline is very misleading.

I've been on both ends of this. I was lean throughout college, gradually gained some weight after starting at Google and after a few years I was having trouble functioning after not having eaten for a while. I got some blood work done and everything was normal.

For me personally, I think it was completely driven by my mind. I was stressed while there and became further stressed when my willpower inevitably lost to my biology. Consistent, hard cardio; lowering my stress levels; and (most importantly) acknowledging and accepting that I don't have perfect control over the outcome were key to fixing it.
Haha, no. It's not psychosomatic.

But you won't "have" possessions in a "collapse".

Imagine arriving at a concentration camp or whatever future euphemism they come up with.

You could try to bribe a guard with a Rolex. Then he has a Rolex, and smirks at you as you silently scream "we had a deal!".

Or perhaps they grab your hands, look at them, and say "ah, no calluses, looks like you don't do real work".

Or they see your glasses, and say "ah, an intellectual".

Or they see you have gold fillings, and say "you people always have gold".

Any which way, they take everything you have on you and proceed as planned.

What counts, what leads to survival, is extreme luck and being more useful alive than dead. Possessions are no help.

There are other scenarios for "collapse", I grant you. But whatever shape it takes, it always devalues property that depends on stable society and by comparison, skills and knowledge and adaptation become more important.

Also, don't say "shibboleth" the wrong way.
