Why can't it be the same category? How many studies need to smack you in the face about social media causing increased levels of depression and anxiety in both teens and adults? Why should social media companies get zero scrutiny for a way of living that they hoisted into the world with zero thought for the repercussions? Why do individuals have to fix a multination corporation's fuck up rather than regulating these companies.

I mean we have Meta itself denying researchers data to study this phenomena independently. How is that fair? I as an individual am apparently not even allowed to study how this harms me or my loved ones.

IDK, seems like the whole thing has gone awry to me. These companies deserve the hate they get and they've done a disastrous job navigating the political landscape.
That's a nice sentiment. Suprisingly humble, coming from Reagan.
I think the point is that you can implement Euclid's algorithm (or any algorithm) iteratively as well as recursively. So there's nothing inherently iterative or recursive about any particular solution, let alone about any particular problem.
If only it was just login. Not so long ago Google started requiring credit card or national ID/passport verification for age restricted videos in EU. I’m not sure if it’s still a thing since lately it seems like I’m able to watch age restricted content again without providing any of those, but a few months ago I wasn’t able to.
And yet the engineers and other PMCs who are definitely in the top 10% by income still conceive of themselves as part of an oppressed underclass with no influence on policy direction.
You remind me of those doctors that needed clinical evidence to prove babies don't feel pain during surgery lol.

But I will say, everything I've said lines up with the scientific literature, so I can have my cake and eat it too, backed by both personal experience (skin in the game) and an informed understanding of the biochemistry at play and randomized, controlled trials with large populations.

If you're curious, and not just trying to nitpick out of a deep, misplaced sense of cyncism, I highly recommended diving into the literature and doing some reading.

Elicit.org is one of my favorite tools for gathering information, although the "Takeaways" can be sometimes be wrong so I highly recommend reading the abstract too.
It's really annoying that submodules give you a detached head by default, so working on a submodule within a project is prone to mistakes. Otherwise they've been fine for me.
An accessible and incredibly insightful read 100% on this topic is "Power, Sex, Suicide: Mitochondria and the Meaning of Life"- despite the flashy title a thorough scientific read and analysis, working through various possible arguments and teaching fundamentals along the way.

“There are two kinds of geniuses: the 'ordinary' and the 'magicians'. An ordinary genius is a fellow whom you and I would be just as good as, if we were only many times better. There is no mystery as to how his mind works. Once we understand what they've done, we feel certain that we, too, could have done it. It is different with the magicians. Even after we understand what they have done it is completely dark. Richard Feynman is a magician of the highest calibre. -- Mark Kac”

I understand. There are people who use the singular they. There are even many people who use the singular they. Nobody disputes that, and I doubt anyone would say with any honesty they misunderstood when they is intended to be singular or plural. Maybe in specific scenarios where the rest of the sentence is poorly written, but not overall.

That being said, what I meant by uncommon use is that there are many more people who do not use they as singular compared to those who do. This isn't a value judgement, and languages evolve. The commonly cited OED article is simply a recognition that languages change. I am saying that the singular they is not the common use of the word.

Have you been shopping lately? For $250, you can get something from almost everyone. It's likely to have an Atom processor, or something anemic from AMD, probably only 4GB ram, but most will have a (small) SSD these days. It may or may not come with preinstalled garbage, but you can usually uninstall that lately. Or just live with it. If these computers fit your needs, the junkware isn't going to impact you that much anyway. Some models even are upgradable at these prices, but soldered parts do save costs, and you have to accept cost savings if you're buying at the bottom of the market.

Sure, there's some correlation between price and quality, but if you're worried about longevity, 3-4 laptops of questionable quality are likely to last longer than a $1000 laptop anyway. And, screen aside, the 3rd and 4th cheap laptop might end up with better specs than the single quality laptop. If screens are important to you, then that's not going to work, and that's valid; but a lot of people get a fancy hires screen only to run it in 2x mode and push 4x the pixels for a small difference in experience; it's certainly worthwhile for some people, but it doesn't make a big difference to me and many others. In an ideal world, you could pick between screens on a laptop; there's a huge spectrum of screens that meet different needs and wants, but most manufacturers aren't giving options beyond glossy (eww) or matte in a normalish resolution, and on higher priced machines maybe one higher res option with no choice in finish. Sometimes, business oriented laptops will have a couple adjacent sizes available with the same bottom half of the chassis, but that doesn't happen for consumer laptops.

> I still remember the standard advice of buying a Windows consumer laptop was to reinstall the OS after buying it. In what world should that be acceptable? In my accounting, that time and effort spent installing an OS gets added to the price.

A lot of people say a lot of things. Windows works fine out of the box, most of the time. If you want something that values your time, Chrome OS devices are better: works out of the box; cold boots in a couple seconds; no junk (other than google login, but you can run in guest mode if you don't need persistence); updates are done in the background, reboot whenever, none of those long waits at startup to finish stuff like MacOS and Windows. Plus, they start at even lower prices: usually something for $100, something with a mainstream x86 processor around $200.
Beyond how hard to use they may or may not be, my personal hatred of git submodules is about bypassing your normal dependency management system. See 12 Factors on Dependencies[1].

I've not seen many uses of submodules that weren't better served by adding the package from pypi/npm/crates/...

I think the explanation here is that referendum is anonymous, while polls not so much. When questioned by the person doing the poll people tend to give answers that they think are expected from them (i.e. Politically Correct), at referendum they are free to vote according to their actual beliefs.
This might be the root of the problem for the author:

>>> In principle, natural numbers are also recursive data: a number is either zero or the successor of another natural number. However, this way of thinking is not natural to students...

That's because students didn't learn math. "Back in my day," we learned mathematical induction sometime in middle school, and were re-introduced to it from time to time as a style of proof. When I finally got a chance to learn programming (in 1981), recursion was taught as something we already knew, being related to induction.
In such case it seems that GPT-3 main effect is to make eroding standards easier. As while rules are not changed, cheaters can put less work to pass it by cheating than before.

I have several higher end fountain pens that are my daily drivers. And I have zero incidents as well.

I own several Lamy, Pilot, and Platinum.

If you ever write with a Pilot Custom 823 on decent paper, you will never be able to go back.

(If you enjoy the friction in writing, you need to try Lamy Al-Star/Safari fine nib, or Pilot Metropolitan fine nib. Medium nibs are smooth and some people don't like that.)

And even as the prices are high, they do last literal lifetimes.
Very interesting, Thanks for sharing.
(Slight) nitpick: unless you destroy it, it wont shut down completely. Modern hardware never shuts down completely in normal operation. There always is at least some tiny CPU that listens for, say, wake on lan or activity from a Bluetooth keyboard.

Macs also can be configured to wake up to download updates.

As to company software: depending on the country you’re in, your employer may be required to tell you beforehand when they do. If they didn’t they still may be collecting data (either by accident or on purpose), but they won’t be allowed to use it.

If you’re concerned about your employer knowing where you are, leave the laptop at the office or at home.
It's about understanding bitcoin. As long as more people understand it, more people will buy it. I've never seen anyone who understands bitcoin, but doesn't buy it. Especially in bear markets, people will focus more on learning what's it about, rather than speculating on the price.

All the 'crypto' stuff can go. This is the opposite. When people understand them, they'll sell.
No. Swing does not suffer from that problem because Sun actually cared about accessibility requirements back in the days, in fact, the only reason there's a desktop on Linux that has decent accessibility, Gnome (through the Orca screen reader and gtk accessility libs) comes from Sun's interest in having an accessible desktop for Solaris. KDE's track record is miserable in comparison to Gnome. Sun provided much of the funding for the initial efforts in making an accessible desktop.

Qt is partially accessible, in practice, it doesn't work well.

That said, these last couple of years remote work has really taken off, so maybe you can have your nice house in the Midwest and retire early in it too

Free society? What kind of "free society" is it when people can't afford basics like housing, healthcare, and education?

The median US individual income is currently about $36k. People at the median are either not making it or just barely making it. How is that "free?" MIT has calculated that the living wage in the US is just over $24/hour which is $48k per year. The median is about 1/3 short of that. That's what you call "free?"

See https://livingwage.mit.edu/

Correction: a living wage for an individual is nearly $40k or $20/hour. This is approximately the median individual income. Half of people literally can't live self-sufficiently, and you want to call this a "free" society?

>> Getting rid of employees you don't want is a good thing. How well this method works for them relative to other ways to evaluate employees?

It is not a question of whether the employees being PIP'ed / fired are good employees that perform well or not. It is all about meeting the unregretted attrition (URA) quota set by human resources regardless of the employee's current or past performance.

The Twitter thread states: "The URA targets are set at org-level. Most SDMs will not be aware of this: usually director-level target. It’s almost always been fixed 6%".

Employee quote: "I was Focus/PIP'd out after 10+ years of good to great reviews, by a manager I worked under for a total of ~2 months. This system is completely and utterly broken."

"the company is demanding, sometimes brutally so, and it can lose sight of its employees’ humanity — which is neither good nor in its strategic interest. Amazon’s insistence on hitting “unregretted attrition” milestones, to the point that it would push out solid performers, is one example of the culture’s downsides." Source: https://bigtechnology.substack.com/p/standing-up-for-us-pleb...

If you have poor performers, then obviously they should be let go. But if you have a solid team, who do you let go? If you have a solid team with a few open headcount and you have trouble hiring to fill the open headcount, who do you let go?

PIP'ing and firing good employees just to meet a quota is stupid and yet that is the policy.

In the past, a recession was defined as two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP [I think the definition has loosened somewhat recently, but I’ll ignore that].

Real GDP (which accounts for inflation) was up in 4Q 2021, but down 1Q 2022. Based on a somewhat arbitrarily-selected article I briefly skimmed the beginning of, Real GDP is expected to be up in 2Q.

Is Nasdaq a stock exchange or Ads company?
I found it a bit strange to find the Nasdaq website filled with ads, mostly ads unrelated to stocks or even investments & financial planning. Maybe it's just me? Or maybe it makes sense since Nasdaq is also a marketplace where ads are part of their revenue model.
I’ve looked into heat pumps pretty extensively for my upcoming boiler replacement (looking at an air-to-water in my case, but very similar principles apply).

In my case, the 99% design temperature is high single digits Fahrenheit. For the 3.5 days/year colder than that, the plan is to have the house “coast” on thermal mass.

That’s for cases where the ambient temp is below design (where the heater can make heat but just no longer enough to keep up with the building heat loss), not for when it’s below a cutoff (where the heater shuts off entirely). In my case, that’s so far below design temp that I’d expect to never see it. (We hit -9°F in 2016 and would have to go all the way back to 1943 to find a low of -14°F.) If it happened, thermal mass would start to carry us with electric space heating keeping the house from totally freezing.
Is it just me, or does the first example in that link, the contact search + list form, look much better in the way that the book says is the "Wrong way"?
that is not true. people say that for certain things, but not for others. why is it that food processing is regulated? If people are responsible and act in their own interest, then it shouldn't be the responsibility of companies to comply to safety regulations. Same thing with OSHA. If people want to work in dangerous life threatening conditions, that is their best interest choice??
I have been working with no code solutions for almost a decade.

It works great if you understand it's limitations and it's strong points. It works particularly well for data intensive applications - think moving a complex spreadsheet to an app with users, roles and authorizations.

It is more difficult to style it any which way you want - that that is also mostly due to the skill set of developers using and building with it. For example, in my case the biggest uses are business analysts using it to build internal applications and dashboards. They use it effectively to process data but don't have the design chops to make it look impressive - so it looks like modern design with rough edges.

But overall I feel that it still still has multiple uses for easy to prototype data driven applications.
The politically powerful and privileged can be quite diverse in their political views.
I would say that computers(and to a lesser degree typewriters) are what killed cursive.

Cursive is the sloppy form of latin characters that you use when you have to write by hand a lot, the reduced specification on word separation and form really help the letters get out quick. see shorthand for an even quicker modern engineered version of this. When you no longer have to manually produce a large body of text(you have your machine spirit do the writing for you) It no longer makes as much sense to keep the cursive forms around. A cultural loss for sure but in the same vein as knowing how to skin a rabbit.

Some languages (arabic comes to mind) have had their cursive form completely replace their block form(I actually don't know if arabic ever had a block form, it would certainly be incorrect if you tried to use a block form of arabic today). Unfortunately the same slurred features that make cursive so quick to write also make it difficult for the machine spirit to handle. Now I want to look up arabic typewriters.
The places where it's silent and making faces should be easier to review than the places where it's just silent.

I live about an hour outside a major Northeast city in an ex-urban/semi-rural location. (It's not really rural but I'm one of three houses on about 100+ acres of land and can't really see my neighbors at this time of year.)

I find it's a decent compromise. I have space. I can take walks in the woods or easily drive to small mountain hikes. But I'm only about an hour to go in for live theater, a meal, etc. And there's nothing keeping me from going into town for a weekend if I wanted to.
