I live in Japan, so reading this was entertaining. Most Japanese I've met have no idea what the specific meaning is for many of the rituals associated with visiting a shinto shrine.

The saying in Japan is that you are born Shinto, married Christian, and die Buddhist.

I am not a historian, but here is my understanding of the current "history" of Japan.
Shinto had an artificial resurgence during the meiji restoration as money was pumped into it. Shinto was seen as a way to push society back toward an emperor-centric governance model. Shinto at the time was closely aligned with the powers that believed propping up the emperor was important.

If you travel around Japan you'll see many jinja (shinto shrine). Within a few minutes walk from my house there are three large shrines and maybe six small shrines. Most of these were built during and immediately after the meiji restoration.

The modern view of the 'history of Japan' was actually heavily influenced and curated by the powers that shaped Japan in the second half of the 19th century. Many things that people believe are part of 'ancient Japan' are mostly handpicked tools used by the political elites of the time.

> Americans ate more calories in 1909 than in 1960, and were no more obese then.

That's his assertion, but all we've got is a link to a complex dataset on "food availability" and his word for it (and some probably-unjustified ancillary assumptions about calorie burning between the two eras being similar, of course). Extraordinary claims, I think, demand a higher standard of evidence.

> Hmm, I think the point here is that there is more complexity than the "eat more, gain weight" hypothesis: there was wide variability in how much weight people gained when being overfed, and all of these people, when they stopped being overfed, lost the weight they'd gained effortlessly -- which is emphatically not the case for most obese folks today.

Sure. But that's furiously demolishing a straw man that there's no variability in weight gain between individuals whilst dismissing the actual finding that it takes as little as 3 weeks to show a clear increase in weight from eating 1000 extra calories as incidental. And he's trying to use it to argue against the notion that average calorie intake data consistent with the obese ~40% of the US population eating ~1000 extra calories on a permanent basis could have caused the latter group to have gained weight!

> This implies something is different about being temporarily overfed (which makes weight loss trivial) and what's causing the obesity epidemic (which makes weight loss very challenging).

One obvious difference is that people overfeed for longer. This doesn't seem to be a gotcha for the basic assumption "people eat too much" and nor does the fact that eating "too much" is obviously likely to be caused by different factors in different people. But whilst "people eat too much" might have little explanatory power, its not nearly as dubious as the blog's assertion that "diet and exercise are out as explanations for the epidemic" despite them being both consistent with macro trends and a change in one undoubtedly entirely to blame for some individuals' weight changes

> And that's the gist of it, if I don't have to, why would I ever interact with a narcissist again?

> To take a page from their book -- What's in it for me?

Not taking a page from their book (or being perceived to by others) is a pretty good reason actually... dividing people into categories based on initial pop-psychology analysis you've conducted of their visible traits to figure out whether they are deserving of further interactions with you is a pretty narcissistic trait itself. As is discounting all scenarios where anyone other than you has the power to act: a lot most people's regular interactions in life are with people others have chosen, and sometimes they actually have ability to help or even [independently of assumptions about their personality] actually deserve it themselves

People can be vain, volatile driven entirely by compliments and human beings... human beings that are helpful or funny even... sometimes more so because of their pathological need to impress. And even they're just boring boastful bullshitters with a sideline in snide remarks, if they're your friends friends and you're trying to exclude them, you're the one whose behaviour is going to be seen as more self-centred and toxic to the group.

Doesn't mean you have to date them, or trust them, and perfectly reasonable to avoid people whose extreme behaviour is dragging others down with them altogether (but lots of narcissists don't go that far, and lots of extremely destructive behaviour isn't narcissism). But there's plenty of value to learning to peacefully coexist with narcissists, unless you want to be the one perceieved as playing power games and dragging others down.

So he’s either paying for a $43 billion distraction or a $1 billion distraction, depending on whether or not he actually wants to own Twitter…?

If the idea was to throw money at these allegations until they go away, Musk could have just paid her $250 million to shut up, and he’d still be getting a deal. Not to mention that taking a suitcase of cash to a parking garage is probably simpler than hitting up Morgan Stanley for $20 billion.

And honestly I don’t think Musk cares enough about sexual assault allegations to put that much effort into trying to avoid them.
The thing is, most people had no clue about what the financial system had done in 2007. At the time it seemed like the housing market was going down (as housing markets do), and that there was a large amount of sub-prime foreclosures (which is why people were referring to it as the sub-prime crisis at the beginning), but there wasn't the sense that the entire financial system was about to fall apart. After the collapse there was a lot of talk about what the financial sector had been doing with things like mortgage backed securities and credit default swaps, but the average person wasn't aware of these things even as the crisis was unfolding.

Again, I'm not saying that I think this is what we're facing at the moment. The point is that it can be hard to know when a big crash is happening, because there are often a lot of problems people are only aware of in hindsight.

Hi nice work!

The presentation can be a little more clear that it is just an example of an implementation strategy. Regular expression engines are not always implemented using automata.
There isn't a nice way to say this. You are acting like an an asshole...

Yes, that's a good example of exactly what I'm talking about. Code completion used to be really hard, and good code completion is still hard, but we have all these different languages to learn from and you can look to the languages that came before you when building your language.

Just to give some more detail--you can find all sorts of reports from people who have implemented IDE support, talking about the issues that they've faced and what makes a language difficult to analyze syntactically or semantically. Because these discussions are available to sift through in mailing lists, or there are even talks on YouTube about this stuff, you have an wealth of information at your fingertips on how to design languages that make IDE support easier. Like, why is it that it's so hard to make good tools for C++ or Python, but comparatively easier to make tools for Java or C#? It's an answerable question.

Who wrote those acceptance criteria for you?
> collapsed arrows

Yes. Who ever thought making up and down arrow keys so small was a good idea? They are high usage keys, and every time I'm on a laptop keyboard like that, I cringe whenever I use the arrow keys.

In fact, the keyboard is the first thing I look at when I'm in the market for a laptop. Small arrow keys = pass, I won't even look at the specs or price.
Obviously regulations vary across counties and municipalities, but when/where I lived in PA, the zoning rules spelled it out pretty clearly that hens were fine but roosters weren't.
I agree about the separate Home, End PgUp, PgDn keys. Still mad at Apple for influencing the removal of these from all laptop keyboards! It's one big reason that I have a Thinkpad, even though their keys aren't as good as a Surface's or Mac's.
Optimism or wishful thinking?
Wouldn’t there also be reduced market/customer demand though as well? Guess it depends on the startup and business model, but could see a challenge with actually selling whatever it is your business is providing (e.g., services, product, etc.).
Rumor is, some IBM sales rep somewhere at some point in history managed to put pointing stick into a procurement requirement for professional laptops, so to make only ThinkPads to be qualified. Many agencies are not capable of drafting good requirements on their own and such skewed requirements written by the winning contractor to exclude competitors are sadly common.

There is always a model or two in every laptop manufacturer's mobile workstation lineups with a pointing stick, for that reason. Not often is in consumer or non-workstation business laptops, and I was never impressed with one, but there always is one.

> In Catholicism, at least, as long as you ask forgiveness, you get your ticket to heaven.

This is false. Asking is not enough. Asking is one part of the observable, outward sign, but that (and the whole associated rite) is less important than the spiritual conversion which is required. (The rite is “normatively” required, but the conversion is “absolutely” required.)

> Many of his characters are monsters, but they observe the rites, so according to the church, they should be forgiven.

If they outwardly observe the rites without inward spiritual conversion, the doctrine of the Church is that they absolutely will not be forgiven. To the extent that there may have ever been doubt that this was the doctrine (and certainly complaints about at least the implication that it was not were central in the Protestant Reformation), it was unequivocally articulated in the Council of Trent, so the room for doubt on it has been closed for at a minimum nearly half a millennium.

Scorsese is certainly a great filmmaker, but if your report is accurate, he’s not very well informed on Catholic theology, with an attitude that reflects what one might expect of someone who has simply witnessed the rites without any education about their meaning.
The way I phrased it made it sound like energy prices were the only component, my bad.

Yes, stimulus is a contributing factor. But I don’t think it’s the primary contributing factor, it depends on the sector.

The price of oil affects the price of food, heavy things, etc much more than stimulus checks. I’m not saying stimulus has no impact on prices, but I think it’s erroneous to say it’s the “driving force” of 8% YOY inflation — maybe it’s the driving force of 2 or 3% of that? The price of gasoline is very underrated as an influence on prices generally: the cost of transport is the backbone of our globalized economy.

On the flip side, partially thanks to direct stimulus checks, child credits, etc, median household savings are at an inflation-adjusted high watermark, and the debt:income ratios are also in a decent spot so the median American is better prepared for this recession than previous ones.
Eek. Ideally, you don't have a bag of rice for months and months at a time, though, you have a bag of rice and once you've used up most of it, you buy a new bag of rice, etc. There is kind of an inherent assumption that the person doing this is fond of eating rice.

This thread is pretty interesting.

I’ve had a non-trivial “addiction” to Diet Coke in various times of my life. MDs and Neuroscientists please weigh in! When I put my Bayesian hat on, I think this claim falls over (lots of people in general drink Diet Coke so the background numbers are high and people are likely to self-select as being “more intelligent” etc etc)
The problem is that a lot of old school website devs can write jQuery and very very little actual JavaScript.

I'm not sure it was ever a particularly reliable approach to master instruction timings as these timings are a best effort schedule guarantee outside of a hard real-time system. Unless you profiled each instruction cycle timing over every microcode update to your processor, maybe, but I'm doubtful this was ever a sound approach.

I honestly think the big thing was attempting to discredit all of the alternative package manager solutions using half-truths. I remember the big ones were everyone claiming that Fink and MacPorts were nigh unto incompetent for 1) not having binary packages (even though they actually did), 2) packaging too much stuff (which was a hard-earned lesson from Apple breaking their system dependencies and something Homebrew later started doing as well as time went on and they learned the same lesson), and 3) installing to non-standard folders (which Homebrew also finally was started doing as of recent versions of macOS on "Apple Silicon": I set up a new macOS system for the first time in years and I burst into laughter when Homebrew told me where it was installing everything... it frankly should have had a little personal apology to Fink/MacPorts in the console output).
I also have almost(not quite 0 but close) problems with BT. Most of my devices 'just work' all the time. When it doesn't, it's almost always because there is more than one host device involved and it usually hijacks the connection; I just turn off BT on whatever I don't want to use at the time and then the other device picks right up. It would be nice if I could set my default on my truck to be my phone though; sometimes it thinks I'd rather listen to my housemate's phone.
Does Japan still require Internet Explorer? It's a very weird country webdev-wise.
that sounds like both a bad idea, and an unrealistic idea, most of all because in that presentation russia considers itself an equal to the others in the list, which it most certainly is not, in nearly all respects

in a more generalized sense, russia actually doesn't care about any of the countries listed but itself, except insofar as it can convince those countries to support russia

the world is already multipolar, as was pointed out – look to the UN for an example of how multiple poles interact with each other in a civilized fashion – nearly 200 of them!

russia doesn't want this, all they want is domination, and the disintegration of the multipolar world that is civilized diplomacy which might unite and thus present a united front against russian domination and genocide
