> Another person who was going away wrote to a pedant that he should buy him some books. But he regarded the request lightly and said to him on his return, “I did not receive your letter which you sent concerning the books.”

I'm fairly certain the joke here is something like, "you couldn't have known to say you didn't receive the letter unless you actually did get the letter." I'm guessing the translation isn't helping, but it's actually a pretty routine joke. Not a total failure at all!
A phone number. You mean the thing that you hand out to strangers so that they can contact you? The thing that was designed from the start to be shared, and used to be listed in a big book that everyone had? The thing that you put on top of the paper that you hand out to dozens of companies when looking for a job?

What are you concerned about with your phone number? In what way does Signal (or anyone) having your phone number undermine your security?
Signal does not mandate sharing of address book contacts either; it works fine without contacts permission. (This is how I use it.)

MidJourney is really good at creating abstract images. I’ve been playing with the multi-prompt syntax (::) a lot lately, just combining different words that evoke form or texture to see what it will come up with. I start by testing things one at a time and just take a guess at what might look cool together. I end up making strange images with prompts like “fractal :: stained glass :: feathers”, “antelope canyon :: tattered fabric :: cave”, “rubik’s cube :: Japanese woodblock”, you get the idea. I rarely try to make pictures of real things anymore. Definitely fun to play around with.

I think my post sounded more indexed on communication than the "get shit done" part of things. What do you think of the perspective if I changed the desired skill to "ownership" instead?

Most of the big tech companies' engineers are doing the same type of work as outside big tech. However, their internal practices are scattered and faster than outside (IME), which means you have to be able to keep your head above water, drive your own career, and deliver impact. You need to understand the product space quite well, as you are expected to be a partner. Rather than delivering code, you are delivering value.

Maybe 1 in 20 engineers that I've worked with outside big tech had this trait. I think they set the tech bar high, but the real skill differentiation I have seen is ownership.

> This appears to translate as "except 'as I grieve.'" according to Google Translate

That Perseus link will give you dictionary entries for the words. Relevant glosses of ὡς appear to be "as; how; so; thus". θλίβομαι is the passive form of a verb meaning "press; squeeze" and metaphorically "oppress; afflict"; examples in the Great Scott (LSJ) show it being used to describe a shoe pinching a foot, a shoulder rubbing against a narrow doorway, lips pressing against each other in a kiss, and the circumstances of poverty making things difficult for a poor person.

So it's easy to imagine that it might feature in the punchline of a pun. But even without constructing a pun, it would be easy to translate that as something like "see how I suffer?", which could be the punchline to any number of jokes. It sounds like a good translation of the modern punchline "first world problems", for example.
I've seen enough cases where the opposite is the case. Businesses running off Excel spreadsheets are often very inefficient, drowning in more problems than solutions and the day to day workflows for employees are awful.

> I know of people who get deeply offended when "decimated" is used to not strictly mean exactly a 10% reduction, despite language not meaning quite that forever.

You can't expect to force someone else to use the words you want. But it would be deeply wrong to force someone who felt that way to say "decimate" when they meant something different.

> Insisting on labelling someone based on your historical idea of language and what you think they should be called is not really a great way to choose to do things.

I'm not insisting on using the same word (though I'd appreciate it if words weren't changed under me by fiat and I wasn't gaslit about what I'd been taught they meant), but I do insist on being able to convey the concept of looking and seeming like a woman/man irrespective of the person's own opinions, and that's what people really object to - nelogisms like moid/foid attract just as much criticism as "misgendering". (It's reminiscent of the way airports in China will have an "International plus Taiwan Terminal" and a "Domestic except Taiwan Terminal").

> It's probably talking about a user's or a customer's gender. e.g. eventually getting in someone's face with it.

The user is never going to see the code though.

> I struggle to respond to this one. I mean-- really, really seriously-- "so what?" I mean, it seems that you're upset that stereotypes might not work as well.

> I mean, do you need to get gender of birth correct- or race, or natural hair color, or nation of upbringing, etc, so you can make judgments based on stereotypes better (which may be real biological correlates)? I think we should always be acting based on the actual individual ahead of us based on the actual measure in question, rather than some proxy.

I'm upset at deliberately limiting my ability to draw inferences from the information available. There is simply no way to know 7 billion people in their full human depth, we all make assumptions and take shortcuts, make the best guess we can based on the superficial information we have available - there's simply no other way to live. The idea that we would always be able to directly measure the individual is a pipe dream. As you say, even our best guesses are pretty bad, so why make them worse?

> And even if you really, really want stereotypes to work-- people born male who choose to present as female vary on a whole lot of measures, on average, from the overall male average. And sex hormones change a number of these measures, both immediately and with sustained usage. So, the measure is pretty broken in the first place, because of terrific individual variation and being affected by the gender transition process.

The fact that people object to anyone actually trying proves that we all know that the stereotypes actually work pretty well.

A compiler generates a file that can be executed to produce the same computation performed by the original source. Since loops and conditionals(*) aren't apparent in TeX's output, but are performed entirely while TeX runs, it is an interpreter.

Regarding the output, TeX is an interpreter that produces its output as a DVI or PDF file rather than as text on a console or showing it in a GUI.

(*) Both those in the source, and those implicit in TeX's typesetting algorithm.

Hard disagree. There is incentive to pay for education (particularly the type offered by CodeCrafters) regardless of experience level, but the more engaged, more motivated, more mindful personality types will be more likely to make the connection that it's well worth the investment.

A free community is going to have more lurkers that aren't engaged, aren't committed, and may post one thing if they even post at all, before slithering away. Drive-by-comments would be more common. It would not add value, it would be like most of the rest of the public Internet.

> Why would construction crews work in rural communities building a park when the same labour is needed to build high density apartment blocks as Union paid jobs.

Most construction companies select work based on their capacity, the requirements of the job and the pay. A crew that works on high density housing likely has too much capacity to accept a park building job. A smaller crew would be appropriate. Some crews might be able to split up and send some people to build a park, depending on their schedule, transportation time, equipment availability, willingness to pay, etc.

3d printing buildings still needs a crew of some sort to operate the machinery and supply its inputs, and there would be a limited number of machines, which would probably be concentrated on the highest dollar value jobs they could do.

It's the same thing with Ag. Automation has capital costs, so you're going to start where the labor costs are highest, and do developing nations later. Of course, if you dropped off a big western Ag machine to run a large farm in pick your country, the next complaint would be about neo-colonial resource extraction. When labor is cheaper than automation, labor gets the job --- it's the same in developing and developed nations, it's just the (economic) cost of labor and the availability of capital is so different.

Somewhat OT, but I've had this question for a while now: Why do we know that black holes have a singularity? This might be a dumb question, but when you increase the mass of, let's say, a neutron star, at some point gravitaton is too strong for light to escape and there'll be a Schwarzschild border. But why does the mass inside of a black hole have to shrink to a singularity? Can't there be some ultra-dense but finitely small core?

I would argue the opposite: it is the single most harmful piece of software ever invented. It allows people to reduce everything to numbers and then expect reality to match with the numbers in the spreadsheet without any regard for the actual human beings it affects.

It goes from “if we just change this number from 40 hrs/week to 50 hrs/week, we’ll make our deadline” all the way to “look, if we reduce the number or cancer treatments we authorize by X% then our profits go up by Y%”
