My experience is that all antibiotics in that category mess with your head to some extent. I found that minocycline was the worst, though, and gave me horrible dizziness.
Good q! To me there should be a good ratio of "accuracy scent" to "usefulness scent".

Some documentation is clearly written for subjective accuracy & coverage. The author really wants to nail down the full set of conditions or rules that applies to the given term, section, keyword, etc. Each sentence builds on the last. There will be no skimming here--you must be a sequence-consumer and maybe even some kind of logic-critic to really enjoy this.

That's nice unless you aren't wired for that kind of reading, or you've got other things to do, and you need a common answer or solution fast, and there's no FAQ or it's not in the FAQ. Someone told you to read the docs, and you start to realize that the docs are more of a schema than a how-to. Well, sometimes that really sucks.

But also sometimes there's not enough accurate coverage, and the docs simply say e.g. "this function draws a line" and even offer some examples. But none of the examples cover all the stuff that you can do with the function and there are clearly a number of additionally usable keywords or options up there, and if you look in the language source there are a bunch of single-letter vars all over the place with no comments.

So there's this gap between "here's how this part works & you're on your way" (casual) and "here's REALLY how it works" (orthodox) that is worth giving reasonably both-sided attention IMO if you want to strike a good balance for readers.

Some other factors: Is the documentation kept up to date, does it cover OS-integration factors (e.g. where is the config kept and how does it work), how does it read on mobile, how well does the web menu work, is there a URL segment per topic, is there a link from docs back to language home page (not just a self-contained doc blob), etc.

A bit of a tangent, but I do think some basic web sense can help if the docs will be published on the web. I recently worked with the maintainer of a wiki help manual for a programming language on this. It seems they had spent a LOT of time deciding which camel case words to use for their wiki, something like a decade ago.

And now the problem is, somebody has since taken the official docs to a different domain name, improved the SEO by demoting camel case in favor of fully descriptive page titles, let the docs go out of date, and now there are these obsolete docs with much better SEO that outrank the official up-to-date docs. And this third party can't be reached, so the creative solution is to do tons of SEO-style work on the current docs.

Which of course, SEO is the absolute favorite topic of every programmer, especially when someone else is showing them how much their SEO needs to improve :-) /s

Anyway! Good luck with your blog post or docs project.
It equalizes them. And products on AliExpress are cheaper. But that, of course, depends on the US relationship with China which doesn't seem to be getting friendlier.

> The Fed’s hike Wednesday and its new projections are expected to ripple through the economy, sharply pushing up rates for credit cards, home equity lines of credit and mortgages, among other loans. Fixed, 30-year mortgages already have climbed to 5.23% from 3.22% early this year on the expectation of significant Fed moves.

The notion that the Federal Reserve has this kind of influence over longer rates may not be correct. Have a look at the 10-year rate over many decades (click on "Max" for full range):

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DGS10

Is this the curve you'd expect if the Fed really controlled rates that far out? I'm not so sure. Seems like factors well beyond the Fed's control are running the show, demographics and deindustrialization being the most likely contenders.

That blip out of trend near the end is where we are today. When any chart exits a channel that long-running, it's time to pay attention and consider that the old models are broken. Those rates might be rising for reasons that have nothing to do with the whatever the FOMC thinks it wants.

There's plenty more. We can keep this up all day. There's very little to support your idea of partner count or marriage count having little influence, and quite a lot to support the opposite.

>It is never horrible advice to suggest to someone that they try to minimize their unhappiness

The problem with your "advice" is that it sets up exactly that perfection part, even if your intentions are different. It also discredits the idea of growing together, when in reality most people do just fine with any partner which meets some set of minimal values, followed by growing together and overcoming obstacles. "Minimal" does not include any of the things you mention, rather it comes to realistic terms that shooting for the stars is a bad idea and growing together is far more important than being an instant husband/wife.

Relationships require work and investment. "Never settle" has translated into "there is always better" for many. It's the same thing that happens when children become adults. They grow less tolerant of things, and with that comes less willingness to see past their initial judgment.

Was on it until late last year, switched off recently. The cost for the performance and reliability of their Redis and Postgres instances was pretty bad, and it didn't seem like the dynos were well co-located with the db. A few of the issues we had:

1. Redis was wildly unreliable, would go down for 2-5 minutes every few days with no explanation from support
2. We had to pay for a much beefier instance of Redis just to increase our connection count. We weren't using more than 2-3% of the available memory, we just needed the connections, but you can't pick and choose.
3. Their limits on websocket connections were also a killer, I think each dyno could have a max of like 1,000 sockets so we had to add more dynos just for more sockets.
4. Switching over to AWS reduced the RTT (just networking, not actual query runnig time) on Postgres queries from ~8ms to ~1ms. Seems like the dynos and db weren't closely co-located.

However, the amount of time spent and code we have to maintain our infrastructure is waaay more than it used to be on Heroku. No free lunch for sure.
It's back up now, but you didn't miss much.

You direct supervisor likely will even sympathize, but these decisions are made in most companies by people who don't even know your name.
The Norway example is really annoying. It keeps coming back as an example to follow, when everybody knows it is a complete outlier that cannot be reproduced elsewhere.

Norway is sitting on a gigantic pile of offshore gas that it uses to generate massive profits that go into a huge fund they don't know what to do with, all of that for a 5M population that drowns into social programs.

There is literally no country in the world that has this ratio of natural resources $ / capita.

Yet, when you look at what Norway has actually produced over the past few decades in terms of innovation, companies, etc. the picture is very, very empty.
So the government just maxed out on an ARM they can't afford

> Think about the skills required to create a presentable product, then think about the time you have to sink into it with no idea if you'll have any success at all.

You say these things like it isn't true of literally every creative endeavor including writing.

> But that's not where it starts. You can tell a story in a book that can be made into a movie, because they can overlap.

Many game developers of yesteryear took their inspiration from tabletop RPGs, board games, sports, and just regular real world activities that looked interesting. There are places to start other than diving in a making a game... and yet lots of people do, because it has a low barrier to entry.

> You can't write a book and then turn it into a game, because the most important aspect of a game - gameplay - isn't something that a book can handle in any way.

A strange thing to say considering how many games are incredibly linear stories with almost no gameplay whatsoever. Also strange considering how many books simply don't translate to film very well. Go on, write a screenplay for Gravity's Rainbow, I dare you.

But seriously, there are lots of ways to learn game design without ever touching electronics. Human beings have been designing all sorts of games since they've had enough free time to play games. A lot of those ideas can become video games.
Fascists use rifles, and so do those who fight those fascists. Is that hypocrisy? Not really (or if it is, it doesn't matter.) What you're fighting for is what really matters, not having some nebulous moral high-ground in the tools and tactics you employ. The US doesn't have a moral high-ground when it comes to cable tapping, but that doesn't matter.
I don't think it's that different at the moment but they apparently wanted to not be constrained by reason/ocaml compatibility going forward.

Reason seems to be pretty dead so now the relationship between ocaml and rescript is kind of like that between haskell and purescript.

This may be good if you only want to run it on the frontend but it's not as good if you're using ocaml on the backend and want to share code, but I guess there's js_of_ocaml

I also don't think the existence of rescript is in itself a bad thing, it's just that the whole confusion around reason/rescript may have harmed development of ocaml for a while.
Even that is only a fair comparison when comparing specific routes, as an airliner has the significant penalty of having to carry aloft its own fuel, and therefore becomes less fuel efficient on longer routes.
At this point there are so many common tickborne illnesses, plus many that haven't even been discovered, that I don't see having a vaccine against only lyme as being a huge game changer. I mean don't get me wrong, it would be great, but I don't think it would suddenly make it safe to go morel hunting or whatever while wearing shorts.

That said, tick bites are mostly avoidable by following the various best practices that have been established.
Unless it's a land war we're more than able to defeat China with what we've got now and their future looks very dim due to the demographic bomb they've created so that's unlikely to change.

I'm not too sure it would be motivating to people either. Usually what motivates people is the fear of being overrun by some other group but with immigration the way it is that's happening anyway.
Thanks! Is that different from Android/iOS development or just part of it?
Yeah, "brush quality doesn't matter" is horrid advice. My watercolor teacher required us to buy only one brush, a pricey squirrel hair. The difference between that and a cheap acrylic brush is so great they shouldn't even have the same name.

Grid storage is as simple as E = mgh. We do that industrially, billions of times a day, worldwide, and have for centuries.

To cite uncertainty about storage is only to admit you have no argument.
I'm fully in agreement on this one. Having other modes of data to learn from, i.e. physical sensations, certainly helps improve learning and understanding, but I don't think it's by any means required for understanding. In fact, the example referred to in that thread of a language model being unable to understand how to construct a weapon to fend off an angry bear, I would argue, is entirely untrue. If I remember, when I get home, I will pose the scenario to GPT-3 and see what it says; but from my experience with it, I give it a more-than-90% chance of providing coherent and useful output comparable to a person. (Because honestly, I've seen it handle even more complex questions with ease.)

But yeah, I also fully agree that consciousness, sentience, etc. are not very interesting for an AI to have. I mean, they're kind of the goal, but they're also nebulous concepts that tend to define a continuum, when they define anything concrete at all. I'd argue AIs have had those properties for years, if not decades, and we're just approaching the level of those properties comparable to an average human.

BTW, one of my favorite examples of "actually, this is more like human learning than you think" comes from a famous French word problem for students (often misreported as being Chinese). People say LLMs are just predicting the most likely next tokens of language, which is true, but they often fail to realize how much humans do the same thing when we learn. They point to the failure cases of LLMs being asked questions that have no answer (either because they're nonsense, or because they don't have enough information) and giving ridiculous answers anyway, and claim people don't think that way.

So the French boat problem goes like this: "If a ship had 26 sheep and 10 goats onboard, how old is the ship's captain?" Obviously, the correct answer is, "I don't know, there's not enough information to determine this." But when posed on an exam for students, the majority of them wrote a concrete answer, often some arithmetic manipulation of the numerical symbols (i.e. numbers) in the problem, even though there's no correlation between those numbers and the age of the captain. They did exactly the same thing the LLMs do. What's even more telling, if you prompt an LLM with explicit instructions to say when it doesn't know an answer, it performs much better at these kinds of ignorance-recognition questions, by saying it doesn't know when it can't know.

In other words: humans have very similar failure cases to these LLMs, but we point to the LLMs' failures as evidence they're not thinking like humans. Which is wishful thinking, I'd say.

The downside is that your code doesn't optimize for free.

iOS is over 50% of the mobile browser share in the US and desktop Safari is 11-12% (roughly 1 in 9) and both implement proper tail calls and have for around 6 years now. Despite this, the world has not collapsed and people aren't constantly complaining that websites are constantly breaking.

I think it's harder to distill qualitative improvement into a GDP number.

Take TV for example. Today you can watch Squid Games on your 65" 4k TV. 30 years ago you got to watch whatever was on cable on your 27" CRT. But where does that improvement get captured? We don't manufacture more TVs. In fact, we make fewer. We don't spend more money on Netflix than Cable. We actually spend less.

There's a lot of things like that where the quality has improved but that's hard to put an actual GDP number on.
I am right there with you. Took one week Doxy after being bit and got a rash anyway. About two years later mental fog and all our hell took over, tested positive but doc wouldn't give me antibiotics because I took the initial one week "and it's not possible that I have Lyme". Years later I have lost a business I founded and countless months where I couldn't even think let alone function.

One day IS ABSOLUTELY not enough and if I had my way I would now take at least one month.

As further reference your insurance won't cover your treatment once it gets bad, mine ended up being about $3000 per month for years just to get back to working 25-30 hours per week.

3. Root everything you do in love and compassion.

I flew on a 757 from ORD to ROC years ago as the only passenger on the plane. The flight attendant just came and sat down next to me to do the safety briefing, told me she was sorry but no refreshment service, and then went up front. I didn't see another soul again until we were getting ready to land. That was a very eerie two hours.
