The money-creation and control is not any less arbitrary than cryptocurrencies.

There is no control with crypto. The number/amount of cryptocurrencies that can be created and issued is unlimited.

You can't get any more arbitrary than this. Totally arbitrary money isn't "real money".

Was wondering have we ever tried to review design of a study right at the beginning of the process?
TikTok is not as harmful as drugs (at least I haven't seen anyone end up on skid row over watching too many dancing videos). So if it's to be regulated it would likely be similar to porn or gambling and be age restricted.

OP is clearly an adult capable of making their own decisions, so this regulation wouldn't help them.

So what is your point?
Those are also good options for routers/firewalls. I think Protectli is aiming for devices that can handle VPN encryption/decryption at a decent rate on their Core i5/i7 models. I only mention the Protectli devices because for me at least they were a decent alternative to NUC's and for general computing whereas some of the SoHo devices are less apt for general computing in my experience.
> Also something I was wondering, the repeated emphasis on short-term benefits has me wonder how the participants did after the trial.

This right here is the first and most important reason to be skeptical of any study on weight loss. None of these things ever turn out to do anything useful on a time horizon that matters.

If you want to know how to lose weight for a few weeks you don't need a peer reviewed journal, just go get a "women's health" magazine and read about several ways that really do probably work to lose weight in that timespan.

And then you gain it back.

It's interesting that failed communist regimes often seem to be succeeded by kleptocracies. I wonder if any political scientists have studied this and can explain why.

I think my answer to that is something of the kind of: “Work is going to be prioritized one way or another. If you don’t tell me which one you want me to work on first I’ll pick the one I like best, and we’ll see which of the problems never gets finished.”

I think this only works if you’ve already set boundaries on your time though.
1) Not for work-for-hire, no.

Did you even read to notice that I carved out merely one example that happened to apply to me? Dismissive people like you literally comprise the race problem that you appear to be so annoyed by.
The issue I'm pointing to is the veracity of your claim that they did not. You stated it with certitude that, by the very nature of it being classified, you likely do not have. So either you're out over your skis regarding your certainty or the person you talked to willfully disclosed classified information.

It's no different than if somebody on here said with certainty that there was a second gunman on the grassy knoll. Because, you know, they have a source at the CIA who said so. But we can't verify it because they classified the information. But trust them. They know a guy.

Of course in both cases there is truth that supersedes opinion. Whether or not anyone should believe one claim over another is a different story. Just because you say something with conviction doesn't make it true and just because you "know a guy" doesn't make it credible.
A map of algebraic curves is not a special case of a map between two sets. There aren't really source and destination sets to speak of. The fact that it is given by polynomials really is a definition.

The moral "justification" of the definition is something like "algebraic geometry is precisely the study of such objects" or "we want definitions that are stable under ring base change, and this implies polynomials", etc., but we don't formally need to justify definitions.

[One could take a different route to defining those things, in which this becomes a theorem instead of a definition. For example one can define algebraic curves over a field k as contravariant functors from k-algebras to sets satisfying certain additional properties, and then maps of algebraic curves are natural transformations between those functors. The fact that they are given by polynomial equations is then a theorem. Just stating the "additional properties" for a curve is a rather daunting task, though, unfortunately.]
Yeah I don't have numbers to back it up so I can't say for certain. I wouldn't agree it's negligible though, because I often am served educational content that's not an interest of mine (eg nutrition, DIY repair, writing). So the algorithm knows that content is desirable to some users, but is testing if I'm personally interested. Anecdotally I am constantly hearing friends talk about stuff they 'learned on TikTok'. Qualitatively, the content consistently seems more serious and useful than content I see on YouTube, Twitter, or Reddit. So my experience of TikTok has been that it's a mixture of entertainment and serious discussion. I think that balance is a large part of why it's so engaging.
SE has been an incredibly well ran company.

- FREE

- Permissive content license

- Doesn't require me to log in to read an answer

- Few / limited ads

- Data available at archive.org

- Still independently owned. Imagine AWS or Microsoft buying it. Oof.

I think about LinkedIn, Github, ... the other large platforms we use for work, and SE is the only one that hasn't gone downhill.

No, I don't want them to open source the platform. No, I don't think you can do better. Yes, a few mirrors for redundancy would be excellent, but not urgent. Discoverability here would be the challenge for mirrors. They've been down less than a day total for me in 10+ years of using them.
> You can't filter those in any way.

You can easily filter it, by unsubscribing to content you don't actually want. If you watch so little content of a channel that it annoys you to see it on the subscriptions pages, then you shouldn't be subscribed to them.

I can't see how adding a filter system would be less annoying at that point, you would take more time by selecting some filter than just ignoring that specific content. Out of my 352 subscriptions, I got 22 videos yesterday, quite fast to skip them.

I completed a 7 day water fast about a month ago. For the first time in my life managed to break 70kg/154lbs barrier(30M,5'5) lost about 3.5kg/7.5lbs during that week. First day or two are tough due to cravings, best way to counteract that is to supplement with multivits, electrolytes and nutritional yeast, dissolved in water(for vitamin B). Once ketosis is in full gear, you will get used to it (around day 3) and feel an amazing euphoric energy. Sleep is another thing to factor in, sleep quality will be impacted during the first couple of days so brace yourself.

Also be careful when refeeding[1], I had bone broth to wake my digestive system slowly, then moved onto complex food within hours.

Would I do it again? absolutely!!

As someone who's been at larger companies for a good portion of my career - this is the expertise at large internet companies that is really difficult to find at most smaller places. Not many services hit 1k+ QPS, not many companies really work at scale. I'd recommend almost every senior-ish eng to spend some time in big tech just to get exposure to some of these patterns and thoughts. And ideally not cargo cult them just because AWS does it.
Minimal, but non-zero. There are minimum standards you have to maintain regardless of MOS.
>Yes, I’m happy to lose all calls that come via VoIP

That's great, except that's never happened.

For example, digital games also do not have the ability to resell them, but they aren't inherently cheaper to compensate for this. This is because creative works are not priced cost-plus, they are priced by perceived value.

Insamuch as digital textbooks will be cheaper than physical, it will be purely a psychological pricing thing rather than a function of the publisher's expected profit. If that $100 textbook was $90 used, the digital copy will be $85, even though the publisher would still get the same total revenue selling them for $10. They will bank on students not accounting for the used market at the end of the semester lowering their total costs (or students not having extra cashflow to lock up in textbooks).

Some countries impose (or almost impose) a masters in between. but it's more the exception than the rule.

(Also, those countries tend to have shorter PhDs. So it's not exactly wasted time.)
Never forget: The original version of Javascript was written in 10 days.

Javascript is a mess, especially at smaller shops which may face pressures to ship projects to a client that work, regardless of the state of the code.

Breathe. You're overwhelmed and that's ok. Just take it day at a time, line at a time and don't be afraid to have to google the same thing over and over again. It eventually sticks.

Don't be afraid to ask for help after you've exhausted yourself trying to solve something. Lots of other great advice in this post too. You'll get there.
I see myself in this.
I am being labeled as superstar.

The thing is that I am very quick to understand things and can get a prototype working from a new thing we want to do in a week or two.

This way I know a little of of everything that goes on and when something breaks I am the one who can effectively debug and solve things.
Others can too of course but for me it is usually <1 hour while for others it would take at least the whole day.

I am passionate about my work and proffesion but on other hand don't want to be the albatross you are talking about
Lovecraft had a story about this sort of thing.
In an equally balanced society, one would expect college admissions to largely reflect the makeup of that society. By the numbers, datausa.io says Yale is 43.6% "white", 5.67% "black". 13.7% "Asian". US population appears to be 59.63% "White alone, not hispanic or latino", according to census.gov. 13.6% "black" and 6.1% "asian". Datausa doesn't specify "non-resident Alien" by race, which makes up the missing 23.7%.

So whatever the policy does, the outcome is actually heavily weighted in favor of Asians vs. the share of the general population. Now, why is that? I would suspect a large share of second-generation immigrants in the pool (many immigrants I know push their kids much harder than average at academics), but I don't really know. Both "white" and "black" are underrepresented at Yale, but it looks like that is largely because of the non-resident students (who probably pay full tuition, helping to subsidize everyone else, if it's like the state school I attended).

I find it odd all the accounts suddenly interested in the outcomes for minority share races, but only for ones that are actually over represented (and therefore more likely to get into Yale than average, by the numbers).
I've learned as a matter of survival to abstract availability for more tasks from my actual capacity.

If I don't do this I'm given more work than I can do because I have capacity right now then once I have added tasks invariably later everything comes home to roost at the same time.
It's not, but that's an awesome coincidence. We're huge book lovers here at the company. In fact, we have an internal "4/4 only" list of books that folks contribute to. We have a copy of each 4/4 book in the office for people to borrow and read.

Many of those farms are exporting their produce to foreign countries. This includes growing alfalfa in California, and exporting it to Saudi Arabia (where the monarchy has set a policy of growing less alfalfa, wheat and corn to reduce pumping of groundwater from the depleted aquifers of the Arabian Peninsula). So essentially they are exporting water from one desert to another via the medium of alfaalfa.
Fair criticism. It's not quality reporting by any means; I wouldn't say it gives too much intelligent nuance. But it starts the conversation. It's been a slow burn, but I very clearly recall a time when most white people I knew believed police misconduct to be rare, if not nonexistent.
Japanese homes are mainly prefabricated and are nothing like the type of construction you see in most other places. So of course a home doesn't appreciate because they are the same as a trailer. They only last 20-30 years.

The land does appreciate in Japan though. And if they built good homes, they would too. But they choose not to.
I agree, and it's not like the 90s weren't full of unlikely novelty hits... Peaches, Blue, How Bizarre, Mambo No. 5 etc.
The supermarket chain I goes to in Quebec has a similar system, it's great since you can start packing your groceries as you go instead of at the end, so when you get to the self-checkout it's already packed and good to go, and you already know how much you'll pay.
> The goal of this current scheme is to lower the initial cost by spreading out the fees among everyone who uses a copy. In an ideal version of this model, a textbook that normally costs $100 could be sold for $10 and then used for ten years. The publisher still gets $100 but the students only need to pay $10 each.

What would almost certainly happen is the publisher still sells it for $100 initially, and then gets $10 for each of the resales. I mean, look at the effect that ebooks (which skip the costs of printing the textbooks!) had on textbook prices, or, rather, the lack of effect.
- you don't need compiled dependencies

- you may work mostly in the terminal and want to fire a quick tool: dev is a lot of that so it's great for this use case

- it's cross platform

- it works with no X so it works with ssh

- it doesn't eat a lot of resources

- it's fast to launch

- you usually already have a cli entry point, so this is a natural next step. The quick script becomes really nice

- it's very constrained, so devs have to focus on the most important things which makes the UI usually better than usual

- it's a common denominator so you can generate web ui and native ui form that

- TUI have naturally good keyboard workflow for free

- it's just really cool
America is more Brave New World than 1984; people can protest the government, but if that protest rarely overcomes the inertia of the status quo, does it even matter?
A good article.

I will take the other side of the argument (shocking, I know) and claim that cosmetics are important too, after all: “it is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances."

Developers have to read code and the cosmetics matter here. hyperscript has "async transparency" (https://hyperscript.org/docs/#async) baked into the language, so script writers don't have to deal with promises explicitly. That's a cosmetic decision, the underlying intrinsic concurrency model is the same as JavaScript, that I chose because I didn't like the aesthetics of script writers needing to worry about that level of detail. It was sort of a "looks-right driven development" approach.

Now, aesthetics are notoriously subjective and context sensitive, which makes it an impossible problem to "solve" in general, but we shouldn't dismiss it because of that. The fact that we argue so much about cosmetics is a strong argument in favor of its importance, even if it has a large subjective component.

Densely populated areas in the US are also loaded with apartments. However, there is a vast amount of land in the US, so 99% of it is sparsely populated.

European homes are built to a higher standard than US homes and many are built from concrete and stone. US apartments are usually built using cheap particle board for floors that turn into bouncy, noisy trampolines over time and thin walls between units.

None of that deals with the many other disadvantages of apartment living.
> Manufactures could probably band together to acquire these at arms length and ensure they get the first, and largest allotment of special vehicles.

To my rough recollection, that is also not allowed by law. The US government once acted to prevent single entities from controlling all pieces of a pipeline, a pattern or doctrine that got lost in the 1970s. Many laws from that era remain.

And yes, for sure, I'm not saying manufacturers are blameless here! If not for the laws preventing them from owning dealerships, I'm sure they would have already done so.
Oh, right, I forgot about that. Fair point, although I don't actually think "Christian nationalism" means anything when MTG or her opponents use it.
Author of the list here. At the time i created this list the separation between blog and framework was how much code vs. content you had to write to build the website. Jekyll for instance can be built with just a few markdown files while Gatsby required you to write JSX code. This probably doesn’t make sense in this day and age of static site generation and I should rethink the sections.

On average, sure, but there are plenty of metabolic outliers, and I doubt those seeking weight loss are on the higher end. My weight was surprisingly consistent at 1300kcal/day.
> Imagine if half the single family homes spreading out for miles were instead townhouses, 4-6 floor apartments, duplexes, quadplexes with mixed use like groceries and schools placed within walking distance of most neighborhoods.

If that is all the zoning allowed then people just wouldn’t live there.

Most people in the US simply don’t want to live like that.

Consumer demand should dictate what kind of housing gets built, not naive central planners.

Bob Ross was a drill instructor before he became the artist we all know and love. I think you'd have to have someone cut from similar cloth (maybe even tougher) for the programming version.
You assume that developers don't know how to pad out their todo list, or complete things quickly and then do other things during work time. I've seen a lot of anecdata to support both, but obviously people prefer to say "I'm really busy" or "I work hard" over "I only work 2 hours a day".

I tried to use Costco Auto program when I bought a car in late May of this year (2022). Once the dealers heard I came from Costco Auto program, they acted disinterested even though they are part of Costco Auto program (e.g., Al Hendrickson Toyota). Plus, there is no Honda dealer that is part of Costco Auto program within 180 miles of where I live (I live in just a little north of Miami). I went to Mazda of North Miami which supposedly is part of Costco Auto Program, and guess what, they gave me $500 discount and they said that's all I get as part of Cost Auto (but the car was like $4000 above MSRP).

I hope that when I purchase my next car, I'll never have to deal with dealerships and can buy it off online. I'm happy to pay 6-10% commission for dealership as long as I don't have to deal with haggling and being pushed to buy shady insurance and other add-ons that I don't need.
How was this feature able to ship to production w/o the server-side check being tested?

Does CF have a launch process for new features? Does that process include reviewing the special document and testing the new feature against the various bug classes?
Congratulations on the launch! I've always been fascinated by metabolomics, but it felt like such a complex data problem. What sort of recommendations will you make based on my results? How did you develop the recommendations?
> this is only possible because tickets can be made artificially scarce

Surely you agree there's a supply and demand curve for concert tickets, where if the price is sufficiently low, all tickets will be bought, and if the price is sufficiently high, few or no tickets will be bought?

Market value is what people are willing to spend for something. If people are willing to spend more on the tickets (the scalper's price), there's an incentive for the scalper to create bots to scoop up the tickets and resell them. That means the artist performing at the concert is leaving money on the table and letting the scalper profit off their underpricing.

The artist should increase ticket prices and cut out the middle man. Of course there are other systems the artist could use to improve the perceived fairness to fans, like linking ID to tickets, or using a lottery system, or selling tickets to anyone willing to wait in line for days. But all of these have their own pros and cons.
