A Japanese Tea Ceremony is a technique for practicing mindfulness meditation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_tea_ceremony

The items you raised as commonplace things we all do anyway is understood, but it seems you assume that most people are present for their own life, when actually people are often a million miles away thinking about something else.

Did the dinner you had last night taste good or did you not stop to enjoy the taste? Do you remember what you had for dinner last night? When you went on your last vacation were you really there enjoying it or were you enjoying the concept of it and how you could record it and share it with others on social media? There is even a psychological condition called disassociation that many people suffer from but don't know what it's called. Disassociated people see their life as a passive observer, like watching themselves act in a play.

Mindfulness is an Eastern solution attempt to counter these tendencies. In fact, mindfulness may be the only solution for disassociation because there isn't a pill you can take for that. Disassociation comes about because of trauma and a person's need to disengage from the pain. The "thousand yard stare" of war vets is an example. Mindfulness training is used as therapy by the VA but they don't call it that.

Ask her what she finds interesting and based on her answer(s), find the most appealing to you and start designing a logic based on it, a prototype if you will.

Tell her that for this project she will be your project manager that would lead to the fruition of the end product; that would be enough to keep her engaged with the whole process.

Good luck!
How about a used car?

I could have virtually any car I want, but both of mine I bought used and they are 2006 or older.

No payments except the occasional mechanical issue, which is nothing compared to $700/mo.

One can purchase a decent and safe used vehicle for less than one year of $700/month car payments.

Paying $25k outright, or whatever per month for a new Kia POS is pretty dumb, hard to be sympathetic for these fools.

Some on who will not reason is not a bigot, but rather emotional. A bigot is some one whose decisions are prejudiced such that a small set or even a single factor that has been previously evaluated is used to pass judgement; the sentiment associated with the factor(s) is usually attributed through an influential party (by god).

Self hosting is OK. I self host my personal projects and a few work ones (the ones with a customer that basically doesn't know what code is.) I usually don't want anyone else to look at them though. I let some friends work with me on some of them. If I need strangers or customers to look / work at the code it's been GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

You can probably train a language model to lead mathematicians on a wild goose chase for quite a while, by just proposing some definitions, proving a few trivial things about it, proposing another based on that and doing the same etc. Then you can see how long it takes for them to catch on that it's not actually going anywhere.

It seems to me older math texts in particular expect a lot of trust that there's some light at the end of the definitions tunnel. It's become more acceptable to talk (in human language) about motivations, of why we choose to go one particular path in the space of all possible constructions.

And that's the clue with math AIs too, isn't it? I'm sure they can prove endless things, but will it be things anyone cares about, unless they have carefully human-supplied motivations?
It’s the most comfortable garment I’ve ever touched, every moment wearing it is pure bliss. The fur is hardly visible to the outside, so little signaling value.
Fair enough, but the mild areas are where most people actually live.
Having been on the acquiring side of a few of these, I've seen where the company being bought didn't really understand why they were being bought. It can be hard to to internalize why you're being bought as being bought is a sign of success. Some of the acquisitions I saw we were buying something very specific yet the company had a lot more. People get excited about their future roadmaps when they're often being bought for what they have, it can be hard to turn that off.

And lets not get started on the 1-2 year slowdown that an acquisition can put into a team.
You are correct it is big scam

May I ask what for you're using V? And what are your biggest concerns about V at this stage?
Right, we should just edit and test directly in production.

Jokes aside, one of the reasons why we still need a CI is it proves we can do a full clean build. Optimizations that rely on what actually changed are good for local dev.

One way to truly get rid of CI is to get rid of the need to do a full clean build. If we structure our build to be constructed from a series of immutables input files (easy with version control) with a series of pure (as in no side effects) build steps and hash the output file by its input + builds steps, then the concept of a clean build is meaningless.

Then you could even allow regular dev machines to push the build assets to a centralized build cache. However I would still want an independent "known good" oracle to rebuild and check the hashes. One could call this oracle a CI...
Companies that acquire another always change it to suit their vision. They did buy it for a reason, instead of simply partnering and what not
I see people talking about the default mode network in the brain nowadays in relation to mindfulness. As far as I understand it, normally when you're focused on an external task, the default mode network is inactive. When you're not focused on any external task, the default mode network activates and subjectively this feels like daydreaming or mind-wandering.

Mindfulness meditation is a technique where you learn to keep the default mode network inactive while not engaged with any external activity. The resulting subjective state feels quiet (as opposed to constantly occupied with stray thoughts) and somewhat like Csikszentmihalyi's flow.
I fail to see the point being made in the article. CI done right is the best thing that ever happened to me in terms of collaborative productivity.

Of course there are many pitfalls. Like with any tool it becomes trivial to use it wrong. Integrating less than once per day and deferring all testing and linting to the CI process is an anti-pattern and the issue is not the CI process but how the team chooses to use it.

For example I worked in a team of 10 and we were doing multiple production deploys per day. This was made possible by a great CI workflow. Everyone was running tests precommit and focusing on keeping the pipeline green. Yes I've seen the opposite as well, but that usually is a symptom of issues with the team not the general concept of CI.

Not saying that there isn't room for improvement but all the real-time collaboration features I used on low-code platforms feel like a step back.
I do in fact plow unthinkingly into using concurrency quite frequently, and it works out quite well. I just unthinkingly use techniques like "just throw it in a dedicated thread", "put each stage in a thread, move objects between threads via channels", and "Pin one thread each to N cores, distribute incoming events across threads" whenever they seem like they might make a thing good, and they keep working out really great pretty much every time.

If you're writing C, you're going to have a bad time, but we've built some really great tools with modern type systems that make it far easier to treat concurrency as a thing that you can just rely on being able to safely use.

When you're using a language with misuse-resistant core primitives, like structured concurrency, and like Rust's Ownership, Mutex, and Send/Sync traits, it really is a meaningfully different programming experience. You make small use of concurrency all the time, because you just know by default without investing any time at all to check that you haven't made any kind of dumb mistakes.

When you use concurrency all the time, and get instant feedback from the compiler describing the precise data dependency that would make your idea a dumb choice, you get a ton of real direct feedback to learn about how to use concurrency correctly, and what designs it's a good fit for.

I agree that concurrency isn't a replacement for checking for algorithmic improvements, profiling and tuning your memory access patterns, using probabilistic filters, caching, etc. But just like how you can just unthinkingly drop a probabilistic filter before hitting a DB, I think you can and should be able to just unthinkingly spread a bunch of work out across a bunch of cores. This should be a simple, obvious, normal thing that people do by default whenever they care at all about performance, and it can be with good safe tools.
We only hear when it goes wrong
I warn you the code isn't ready for serious usage. It's more of a proof of prototype to show that these technical problems can be solved very simply.

So I doubt it would handle a challenging query! It only supports the bare essentials.

Let me point out that if you go buying clothes in a physical shop you can easily assess a large part of the quality of the clothes and you have no problems with shipping. This has a cost though and it doesn't solve the discovery part happening when you clean them (shrink, discoloration etc.) I think I never bought clothes online so far.

I think the point is about far shorter feedback loops than possible with today's pervasive tech.

Is there literally anything good that these consultancy/auditing enterprises do?
The examples in this article are bad. The eye is a classic "example" of something that "couldn't appear all at once" that creationists love to cite but it's not hard to imagine at all. You start with one light sensitive cell. Why would it be light sensitive? Random mutation makes a protein that happens to just by laws of physics react when light hits it. Then it turns out if you have more than one cell like this you can sense the direction of the light, that seems useful, then you can tell the direction better if you have a lens, then you get cells that can detect different wavelengths of light, etc etc etc.

Likewise they bring up radiation experiments causing "big changes all at once" but they're actually small changes. Imagine computer code with a loop that runs 4 times to make 4 legs. Changing that number to 5 is a small change, but you get a whole extra limb! Also code is often "commented out" rather than deleted, and uncommenting to bring back ancient traits is also a small change. For example you can make a small change to chicken DNA and they will grow teeth, because all of the genetic code for teeth is still present from when they were dinosaurs, just not activated.
You seem a little obnoxious!

First is the problem as described. If youndelete the ComputeEnvironment Role you can't delete the compute environment itself.

If you male a mistake setting up the Batch ComputeEnvironment using cloidformation and it rollbacks then the cloidformation error message is useless (resource failed to stabilise) and no trace is left behind for you to check.

Two, Batch needs to use servicelinkedroles. If you create an AWS thing that needs a servicelinkedrole via the console it gets creates for you automatically. If you created via CLI or Cloidformation it does not. So if someone has created a batch env in your account before it will probably be there but if you are setting up in a new account you might have no clue whu things arent working.

Compute Environments and JobSpecs that use Fargate are configured differenrly, requiring a extra IAM role, from EC2 batch envs.
> There cannot be more than a single version of a (tightly coupled) ld.so+libc.so pair in a given address space

That's an odd restriction, and it is related to the fact that all symbols live in one global namespace in a process. It's annoying if you are trying to build something like a plugin system, or if you are using a dynamic language which by definition loads all libraries dynamically. This is also the reason that you cannot mix Glib (GTK+) versions in a process.

I think you should be able to dlopen some library, or heck just load some machine code, and be able to run it, just take care to only pass POD over the boundary and never `free` stuff you didn't `malloc`.
1 transaction can transfer 1 billion dollars worth of Bitcoin. The number of transactions is what is limited, not how many coins can be moved. I disagree with parent though, they're both important.
Maybe this will happen, but I really doubt it will come anytime soon, especially since the original tweet mentions that local, laptop-based testing is enough, which is laughingly ridiculous in terms of resources, time and coverage for anyone who's worked on large, real-life, many-year, bloated projects.

I've been using Dark Sky for years but I uninstalled it yesterday. Since the acquisition, the native Weather app has been massively upgraded with a lot of Dark Sky's best features and is very good now.

I ran the two in parallel for a few months to compare the alerts and accuracy. Weather won out.

I think they're just behaving far more emotionally and less logically than what you night expect. They think Ukraine and Russia has a shared destiny or some other completely unfounded bullshit like that.

Even if they did, so what. If history defined the present, England might be thinking about India, parts of China with a greedy eye.

Looking from a different perspective, this kind of account expiration is good for data security. Just think how many dormant Yahoo accounts there would be, forgotten by the owner and with weak and leaked passwords. Likely in many cases users themselves could not even remember passwords, making it impossible for them to remove the data.

My understanding (which might be wrong) is that just because PI is infinite and non-repeating, doesn't necessarily mean that every conceivable pattern of digits is present.

As a contrived example, consider the pattern:

01 001 0001 00001 etc.

This pattern is infinite and never repeats but we will never see two consecutive "1"s next to each other.

Wait people use unintroduced initialisms and acronyms in technical writing? This is something that should always be avoided because it makes the barrier to understanding so much higher.

Internally we stress to avoid acronym abuse because it's that much harder to onboard. One of my colleagues from Austria compiled a spreadsheet of acronyms he's come across in our IT realm and it's at about 1300+ rows at this point. It's absolutely wild how much information is obfuscated by stuff like this especially when companies reuse the same acronyms to mean different things. A non-trivial amount of pre-sales failures (e.g. misleading clients on capabilities) came from use.of acronyms from one company which is also used by our company. The sales rep asking if we support XYZ and we go "yes" thinking they mean our XYZ but in fact it's some other XYZ that we don't support.

It's a horrible practice in our industry with no purpose. If it's too long to write, just set up autohotkey to expand these shorthands

For context, from the court ruling (BGH, DeepL translation):

Originally, it was envisaged that all services provided by the DWD to the general public for public dissemination via modern means of communication, such as mobile devices via an app, as specified in Section 4 (1) DWDG should be free of charge (Explanatory Memorandum to the Government Draft of a First Law Amending the Law on the German Meteorological Service, BT-Drucks. 18/11533, S. 22). The Bundesrat has commented on this and raised competition law concerns about the tax-funded DWD making meteorological and climatological services available to the end consumer free of charge, because such a free charge constitutes an impediment to established private-sector providers and erects barriers to market entry for new providers or new offerings (explanatory memorandum to the government draft of a first law amending the law on the German Meteorological Service, BT-Drucks. 18/11533, S. 25). The version of Section 6 (2a) DWDG that has become law is based on the resolution recommendation and report of the Bundestag Committee on Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BT-Drucks. 18/12836, p. 2), according to which not all services provided by the DWD to the general public pursuant to Section 4 (1) DWDG should be free of charge, but only those pursuant to Section 4 (1) Nos. 3 and 7 DWDG.

I prefer loudspeakers but with caveats. For background I have worked professionally in audio both on the production and product side. Take that as bias, not credentials.

My home audio system(s) are like project cars or using Linux for general purpose computing. I think it's better than headphones but I also recognize most folks don't have the budget, time, or expertise to do it well. I enjoy getting compliments when people come over for a game or movie night and my system sounds excellent, but that's because I've been trained how to do it and spent money and time to get it down for the rooms. For most people, headphones are way better than anything they could buy and plug in.

I still use headphones or earbuds for video calls because AEC is really bad in 2022. I encourage everyone to use them on their calls too.

Before my audiophile card is revoked, bass should be felt and heard as an extension of the track and rattle is not desirable. Isolate your speakers and tune the rig so it doesn't boom and you'll thank me.

Yes I said that. Still -- many, many hours of cryptic crosswords being solved and explained if you want to see how the best in the world does it.
You just need to ask someone /read guides about solving cryptic crosswords. Once you get used to it, it makes sense, but there can a surprising amount of 'unofficial' knowledge (abbreviations, 'common' crossword answers, etc), or things which are uk-specific and are not straightforward if you're not from the uk.

Some compilers are also easier than others / will make more sense to you (I like brendan, nutmeg, vulcan, and philistine).
