> How does one know that you don't create the dream at the point that you're explaining it? Like a false memory.

That's a good question, especially since the "people who can frequently recall their dreams tend to be more creative". It might be a self-report effect.

Another thing that the article seems to skip is the fact that it's doesn't try to measure only recall, but also the actual presence of dreams (you can't recall if you don't dream). There's no way to tell the difference. Plus the usual limitations of such studies: the manipulation (short sleep for the measurements and sleep deprivation in the non-measurement period), and bad statistical practices (NHST, calling higher p values proof of absence).
What I learned is that, there is no absolute truths in this line of work.

There are only tools and techniques, which can be applied depending on the context. Some of them fit 99% of times. Some almost never. None is written in stone and any of them won't make project good or bad on its own, let alone commercially successful.

You become senior, when thrown into a new environment, you can can say which of these will help to move forward, and you know that not because "everyone does that", but you truly understand what they will do to the project and the team.

> Another possibilty is that overseas contractors for AWS regularly harvest email addresses from the support UI and spam them.

If this was a practice that was possible and occurring then I suspect we'd have heard of many more cases by now. Most big companies don't use contractors for work that gives them access to customer data like that, and most don't just allow anyone easy access to raw customer data without a paper trail and reason.

I've always considered it to depend mostly on whether we're talking about the current location or not.

So if we're actually in San Francisco metro area and I talk about "San Francisco", I probably mean the city proper. But if we're in DC and I talk about "San Francisco", I probably mean the metro area. Or, commonly, I actually mean somewhere specific but I don't expect my listener to know the more specific areas, so I just say "San Francisco".
Alternatively, oil is high because there's a cartel interested in maximizing profits, and there's enough dust in the air from world events that they can claim plausible deniability.

It's purely free markets doing what they do - trying to optimize for the point where profits are highest by raising prices until demand drops sufficient to level off total profits. Externalities be damned (environmental, social, economic, etc.)
Speaking of this kind of check... recently I have been trying to set up some scripts that could run on Mac with "nothing installed". I had been opting for Python

FWIW, Python is not shipped with macOS anymore:

Above the 10loc macro it's also identifying larger scale structure / needs in your logic but make it as invisible as possible in your code, as opposed to verbose indirections. And I believe there are 40+ years of people ensuring macros do what they're supposed to, and discovering all the subtle failures, in many dimensions. You can have OnLisp semi hygienic raw macros, scheme hygienic macro systems, Matthew Flatt siloed macro systems.. same goes for other metaprogrammable languages. I guess same goes for security.

On one occasion I caught a dream in the making. At some point while falling asleep my audial perception turned off and apparently it was rewired to hear internal processes, e.g. heartbeats and breathing. For a few moments it was a "textureless sound", but soon a random thought about waterfalls had crossed my mind and the sounds got texture. Imagine an overwhelming sound of waterfall modulated by heartbeats and breathing: you're aware of what's going on, but it feels so real and overwhelming, like standing under Niagara, that you're struggling to not give in to fear. When I was waking up, I caught a similar moment of half-built visual dream. I was seeing a room made of textureless cubic voxels, loosely resembling a living room layout, with a couple piles of voxels constituting armchairs, I think. However, this 3d scene was again modulated by heartbeats and breathing, so the "armchairs" were enlarging and shrinking with every heartbeat, overall resembling a fire, just made of voxels. The moment a thought with colors had crossed my mind, the voxels got texture and the room started to look indistinguishable from reality.
Maybe so for the above example, but I too make a point of replying to “Can I help you with anything?” popups with an active “No” and am often connected with what passes for a real human.

One way was never going to work, ever. No real substantive platform of any kind will ever have one way to do something. May be if you're a literalist, there can sometimes be an "obvious way" to do something with emphasis on "obvious," but beyond that, the moment you have more than one library in the ecosystem that does a similar thing, you no longer can do something "one way."

I'm not sure if today that really matters though. I will admit I don't know much about Perl but Perl's death vs Python's life probably might have some influence from design choices but a lot of it just has to do with the libraries you have access to with Python. I know as a scientist, Python is the game in town, that has more to do with why I use it than design.
You say it yourself, js is part scheme part self, and the algol { clothing } shift it a large step away from scheme since the functional aspects became culturally secondary for more than a decade. The imperative aspects are the one causing bugs IMO.
First, they wouldn't need to open anything new. They could reopen existing wells.

Second, pumping oil out of new sites is myopic, at best.

And third, any administration's policies are hardly going to move the needle on the profits oil companies are going to make. They may tell you it's Biden, but that's just convenient cover so folks stop blaming them for problems they could eminently fix.
I've never had a problem using LibreOffice or OpenOffice to replace Word/GSuite. I've had some compatibility issues to open PowerPoint files, but that was usually limited to editing them. Creating presentations in LibreOffice or OpenOffice was harder than GSuite or PowerPoint as well, precisely because the latter two treated me more like I was an idiot and I'm not good at designing slides.

To be clear, as your edit says, your CFO and other modellers are probably going to have to use Excel. There are just things that work in Excel and nowhere else.
Oh absolutely, there are a lot of people like your single mom who work overtime and don’t have time for food planning. There are also a lot of people living off unemployment benefits and can’t be bothered to get off their couch, unfortunately. I know people from the latter kind of background, too.

Also, try to talk to people from places where a good day’s wage is less than U.S. federal minimum hourly wage and where food price is about the same or even higher than the U.S (yes, industrial farming does wonders).

Thank you. Agreed completely

I see software as a form of literacy, and it both amuses and saddens me to hear things like "I used to write code, but since I moved to management I have stopped"

We don't hear phrases like "I used to read and write English, but since I moved to management I have stopped"

It seems sad to note that this "move to management" is now also becoming the "move to senior engineering". This indicates to me some problem with job title inflation - like there are not enough manager slots so the management layer is moving down a rung to senior engineer.

Edit: of course Linus Torvalds wrote more emails than code. Which tends to indicate something.

By now I'm pretty sure that during a large period of my life I almost didn't dream. I dreamt perhaps once a month, and usually in clusters of a few days. Nowadays, I dream very often, almost every night. I also wake up more often during the night. Unless my brain rewired significantly, I think the conclusion that I simply didn't dream back then is quite likely.

The Mandelbrot set comes to mind.

It has a many aspects one would want from a good universe.

Infinite detail. But not "boring". The digits of PI have infinite detail too, but when you don't know the algorithm itself, they probably look just random. Which would be boring. But the Mandelbrot set exhibits many nice patterns one can learn and reason about.

The algorithm that creates the Mandelbrot set can probably be implemented in less than 400 bytes.

What's the best way to access those micro-blogs?

Those micro-blogging tools make it easy for the writer, but at least for me, the content is not easy to follow. It's Facebook vs Myspace to the extreme: every blog has a different interface with few social network features.

If I follow 1000 micro-bloggers, on busy days, how can I skip the less interesting posts without having to look at them?
Perhaps more so than one-click services, Sandstorm is a platform for securely hosting web apps. It succeeded in making apps (called grains) easy to use, but not in making them easy to package or develop.

Sandstorm provides security by sandboxing applications and giving them a capability-based API (via Cap'n Proto RPC over a unix socket) for connecting to the outside world and other grains. Grains can also export capabilities, which would allow for the pluggable modules envisioned by kayson. Sadly, few grains do this as of yet. In my limited experience with this part of Sandstorm, the developer experience is still rough around the edges.
Looks like Snap (where many of the authors of this paper work at) are heavily investing (or already invested) in R&D for advancing AR and pose estimation with papers like this.

Not the first time I've seen them publish these papers but I think we'll see more from them which will tell us about their next features or future products.
And where do you expect the rest of the money for said 'good meal' to come from, exactly? You do realize how far into poverty you have to be to even qualify for SNAP, right?

Considering when I was in highschool my parents were disabled and received food stamps averaging around $200 dollars for three people, there was no affording 'good' meals. Most of what I ate was because I qualified under the poverty line and could get free lunches from school. Food stamps had to be stretched far out, since the rest of the assistance they got had to go towards power, rent and other utilities.

Oil is not a free market commodity, production is tightly controlled by a cartel happy to maximize profits for a limited resource. Not until North American oil sands production ramps up again will prices fall, and producers are cagey because it’s quite expensive and when prices fall they lose a whole lot of money.

I've never made a LinkedIn account and I've never felt handicapped by not having one. Everyone I know only mentions LinkedIn to complain about recruiter spam but then also looks at me baffled when I say I never made one, but then never are able to give a good suggestion for why I would want one. Having said that people looked at me like I was crazy for not ever making a Facebook account but these days more and more of those same people are deleting theirs, so as much as there is the trap of thinking I know better than everyone else I'm sticking with my gut and mind that, like Facebook, LinkedIn isn't something most people need, and definitely not something that I need
Your comment about libraries is quite relevant still - it's about an ideological preference where you preferably would not have many libraries in the ecosystem that do a similar thing without one of them being the default obvious one way to do it. "Batteries included" philosophy is one aspect to ensure that this happens, preferring to have a 'blessed' way to everyone choosing a different library which gets the advantage of each being slightly better tailored for the need at the (significant!) cost of fragmentation and thus readability and maintenance.
What notifications does Starbucks send that are so important? I've never used the app, but presumably you'd be in one of their coffee shops in order to get the coffee.

If it notifies you when you need to collect it from the counter, why not just collect it when they call your name? I can't think of any other reason Starbucks would need to notify me.
Smaller programs are easier to understand and often you can be sure that they are correct just by looking at them.

Macros allows you to decompose and simplify problems in a way that is impossible with functions. Macros are especially good at removing boilerplate and writing syntactic glue code.

Since macros are programs making sure that they do what you meant them to do you can use similar techniques as you use for other programs: making them small and obvious, testing.
Manim, as maintained by Grant Sanderson has many rough edges and he discoirages its use by other people.

There's a more stable downstream known as Manim Community. One can use it, it has somewhat good documentation.

But even this leads to poor code, the API design and architecture decisions are very poor.

Beautiful is better than ugly.

Although practicality beats purity.
Errors should never pass silently.
Unless explicitly silenced.
In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.

I'm not convinced MV3 is the disaster everyone is saying it will be. Gorhill said he's looking into all the uBlock Origin features that he can fit into MV3, and the most recent updates sounded pretty positive. uBO is very likely to live on in MV3. If not, ABP is very positive on MV3, and AdGuard has been the only newer entrant that has impressed me. They'll likely figure out MV3 as well, the only reason to keep one eye on them due to their Russian origins. Who knows what ties may exist with the Kremlin.

I'd argue more people severely overestimate the need of communication quantity and management roles/responsibilities have inflated everything as a result. Worse, people who want to primarily talk are going to advocate for others to talk more.

any number of distinct questions is generally fine.
