Are exercise highs real? Do all people experience them or is it a genetic niche?

I've tried a bunch of different exercise methods. Gone running, swimming, weightlifting etc and I've never experienced anything close to a high afterward. I'll be tired, sometimes I'll feel proud of breaking a personal record but there's never any physical positive sensation or euphoria to me that would resemble the "runners high" that people often refer to. I think I'd exercise much more consistently if there were any biological feedback mechanism to make me want to rather than doing it the way I do, like it's a chore.

The closest thing I can compare would get the transformation of anxiety into excitement from getting a piercing but even that's super short lasting, maybe five to fifteen minutes of shaky internal excitement followed by a quick regression to baseline.
There's 20'000 cryptocurrencies, and zero actual use cases outside of crimes like tax evasion, money laundering, and buying illegal things. So your percentages are a bit off, and should be more like 0.

I wouldn't even classify buying illegal drugs on the internet, which is the most moral of all cryptocurrency use cases, as "transformative".
What about "Here's 3 classes from our codebase [obviously redacted], can you tell us what they do and why, and any changes you would make?"

I have prepared scenarios like this for applications (with some intentional bugs ranging from off-by-one-errors to big architectural fuck-ups) and I think it overlaps a lot with what a candidate would have to do in a take-home assignment anyway.
Whoa! That is awesome! I wish that was an option where I live in the US. Even if I didn't use it, that would be nice to just have other options.
Most of that is related to how other people would behave, not really with the URL being “off-putting”, though.
I don’t think he’s talking about the old effective C++ book, but rather the “effective modern C++” book as stated in the post.
This a big deal for open pit mines where you don’t always have cell connectivity. Managing and routing vehicles and collecting their telemetry is a massive pain. Existing solutions rely on installing Wi-Fi repeaters everywhere which gets expensive real quick.
AIX is a pretty decent Unix, all things considered. It had a ton of proprietary configuration, but "smit" made it super easy to administer. I was briefly a sysadmin of an HP-UX environment, and it was not fun.
Oh yeah it comes from body heat.
Should have been clearer - Rust wins when it comes to the standard library, but I dislike the syntax and prefer C++ the language.

I think the relative ubiquity of C makes transitioning to C++ a lot easier. If you wiped my memory of the last 20 years of programming and forced me to learn both C++ and Rust from scratch, maybe I'd think differently.
Absolutely not, signals and slots make a spaghetti mess of messaging. Often causing a many to one to many dependency hell. In simple cases signals and slots work fine, but quickly become overwhelming as the project grows. I’ve not worked in any large Qt project that wasn’t a dependency mess and a chore to do anything. Signals and slots are a crutch of poor design.
The day they shut down "old" Reddit is probably the day a large number of people leave Reddit altogether because the main Reddit site is a dark patterns hell. I think they'll still do it though because most web sites only want the kind of users who don't know how to install ad blockers.

> linguistic relativism

is a really hot button issue in linguistics, because it obviously correlates with certain ideological worldviews one way or another.

If you actually look at the data... it's complicated. In my view, neither the hardcore relativists nor the hardcore universalists are right. Probably there is some symbiotic relationship between the concepts we express in language and the saliency of certain distinctions in our habitual cognition.

IOW, it's highly unlikely that the Ancient Greeks didn't perceive the colour blue (much less so that this was caused by their language), but it is possible that the distinction between the colour blue and certain other colours was not seen as as significant as other distinctions (e.g. saturation, brightness). But all this theory ultimately stems from this one expression in Homer about the "wine-red sea" and one can only speculate.

If you want a good pop-sci overview of the situation, though still written by a linguist, try Guy Deutscher's "Through the Looking Glass". That said, he does come down a bit more on the pro-relativism side, so you may also want to read the counterarguments in John McWhorther's "The Language Hoax", which I haven't read though.
I highly doubt that. Every single time Reddit comes up here, people complain and complain, but also share old.reddit.com as a work-around instead of actually leaving Reddit. It's a perfect way of keeping the hardcore users addicted while having a modern, instant-gratification interface for the majority. They know what happened to Digg, so far I don't see any indication that they're going to repeat this mistake.

In my opinion I would say anything that has revision control, understands it's encrypted database file is shared meaning changes can converge clean and stored on-prem in a secure artifact repository with access logging that is preserved and can't be tampered with based on the companies SOC1/2/PCI policies and in no way touches a cloud not owned and under full control by that company. This is assuming the database is shared by a team. If used by just one employee then KeyPassXC is fine.

I can’t tell if Reddit was actually better when I started using it ~10 years ago, or if I was just more entertained by the novelty of it.

It still does have the important distinction from true “social media” sites that are based around who you add/follow, but they have made some incredibly poor decisions with the platform trying to be less of what made it great and instead trying to blend in with the trendy influencer platforms du jour
It's another form of information control.

Or maybe call it propaganda. I mean, it's a public conversation. But when you selectively reveal and censor. That's a narrative sculpter.

And of course "sensitive" means whatever reddit wants it to mean.

> has no bearing on top-level commenters career decisions

Of course not! Nothing I say here is aimed at influencing career decisions. OP's life choices are their own.

I clearly targeted 2 ostensibly objective statements. One was the creative interpretation of "defense" (attacking a country on the other side of the world even for reasons known to be fabricated cannot be called "defense"), and the second was the attempt to call everything "a gray area" to muddy the waters (thus homogenizing and conflating writing software that tracks the websites you visit with helping train the people potentially dropping bombs on weddings).

Your job choice is yours alone to make. I can only express disagreement if I were to make it for myself. But I can certainly have a strong objection to redefining or twisting facts to justify that choice. That's not only a transparent attempt of making the choice more palatable in the eyes of others but explaining it like that ironically has the opposite effect.
>It's basically the same as the System 1 which was just a ripoff of the stuff at Xerox PARC.

People say things like this and because they haven't researched the matter more deeply they miss out on some great gems from that such as the way overlapping windows worked on Apple's Macintosh compared to how Xerox did things because the Apple engineers didn't know how Xerox did it, thought they were doing more than they did and in the course of trying to recreate it invented something better.

A reference to what I mean can be found here:

http://novel.tingroom.com/lizhi/1019/30667.html

The bottom line is that even re-implementing something can lead to creativity and extend the original in exciting new ways as a result. To my mind that makes it much less a 'ripoff' since it's a new way of doing things.
This only impacts wind farms when they are arranged such that the wind front passes over multiple turbines.

Often, wind turbines are arranged in a line across the usual wind front, so turbulence isn't typically an issue.

So, in this case, when wind passes over multiple nearby turbines serially, then there is a 1.2% gain on efficiency.

Still a worthwhile deployment if the model is accurate. Needs to be tested.

I don't think they are going to ever be mainstream. Even a lightnode that only downloads headers is going to eat up battery fast. If a centralized service works for you, what's the point? What's necessary is to allow actually persecuted people to run nodes on their computers.
I'm surprised this is coming to light now.

I evaluated their tech early on, and it struck me right away at how poorly thought out some decisions were. Very basic things, too. One distinct issue I remember is not having any sort of an "Application" object or app-state pipeline interface/object that I can place my non-component logic into, stuff like checking various timers, handling app-level event hooks, and so on. Turns out, people attach this sort of logic to the Camera component. How the fuck did you get to that point without thinking about any of this?
That's an excellent response
you may further realize then that you don't enjoy competition in general. or maybe that you only enjoy it at a really low level where you don't have to put in any effort to achieve any form of mastery.

because mastery and min maxing like this is at the basis of every form of competition.

even all the traditional physical sports are min maxed to the same extents. in fact the strategy and novelty aspect there is typically so small compared to video games (due to the inherent lower complexity of the sports) that in most sports you just start having a big focus on min maxing your physical capabilities much earlier than you would for example start to grind out and improve your macro speed and capabilities in a game like Starcraft 2.

Also, does anyone know of a multi-user password manager that can have permissions assigned to users? A number of the government accounts we use have a single company level login and keeping password changes synced between multiple users is difficult.

Indeed.

Both autopilot and FSD are a scam and once again Musk, being the pied piper with some of trusted FSD beta musketeers and boosters, selling demoware to his millions of Tesla drivers will still pay for on top of price hikes, under the delusion of achieving robotaxi-like Level 5 Autonomy for FSD in the future; even though it still doesn't work.

A deceptive advertising tactic and reality distortion of endless broken promises and price increases + subscription which will keep the 'Coming soon' or 'It will improve for sure.', 'It's still in beta' and 'We're almost there this year' illusion going.

The reality is, it is not early days and the regulators have seen enough that this contraption is promise-deception scam, where even the devoted fans will do anything to make a point, especially putting a child in front of the Tesla. [0]

Yes, they're A/B testing multiple things with NSFW content. Up until recently I was in the "you must use the mobile app instead of mobile site to see nsfw content" group. I'm not sure exactly when that changed for me, maybe a week or so ago, but I no longer have that requirement anyway.
> "Don't know your use case, but C++ for a REST api seems extreme overkill"

It used to be the other way around: spinning up a VM for handling a simple HTTP request, wasting many megabytes of storage, memory and burning needless CPU cycles on bloated abstractions along the way? That used to be the very definition of "overkill".
> I agree they usually withhold details of the case. But I don't think they would flat-out lie about the charges being brought.

“With suspected ties to X“ isn't necessarily an element of the charges being brought. And the police can and do lie (or state “suspicion” on a very flimsy basis) when making public announcements related to arrests, and headlines often credulously repeat police spin rather than being grounded in facts.

While this tends to get the most attention (and still then not enough for the press to change) around police spin and media coverage related to police shootings, it is true far beyond that.

> Are exercise highs real? Do all people experience them or is it a genetic niche?

They're real, but (probably, usually) not literal. Exercise just leaves me feeling good, all over. If you've had the feeling, you'll know what I mean.

Some people don't seem to get it at all. And some probably do experience a literal high; if the dial can be dialed all the way down, I'm sure it can go to 11 as well. It's unfortunate if you're in the first group, of course.

I don't get it very strongly myself, but I compensate by making the exercise itself enjoyable. Swimming is boring. Spend a few hours hiking across a mountain ridge -- that's anything but boring. Still tiring, but the views are worth it, and it's a great place for lunch.

This might be true, and I'll admit that I didn't read the article, but I would add that not everything can be explained by economic efficiency. For example: poems--a really bad use of your time (think of the opportunity cost), drawings from your 6 year daughter--almost worthless on the resale market, a ticket for free hugs--completely unsustainable business model. But you know, sometimes it's good just to be a human, with memories of other humans doing human things. Naps, too, are bad for business, but somehow I never regret taking one.
Gifts serve social and political purposes and are not simply a medium of economic exchange. Historically, gifts were a way of signaling surplus to gain trusted friends, establish status, make alliances, compensate victims of wrong-doing and squelching the rage of would-be enemies.

The loss of efficiency and the wasted resources are precisely the point. "I have enough to destroy my own wealth for your benefit" was, for most of human history, the way to gain status in your tribe. Productive and occasionally generous people became leaders.

In modern western culture, the mutual holiday gift exchange may not seem like it has much to do with status - but then why do we open gifts in full public view rather than retreating to separate rooms to open them in private? There is clearly a family/social dynamic at play that goes well beyond economic exchange. You could even re-frame the "waste" of gift giving as an investment in social infrastructure.
Biggest one is probably "think of the children."

The most violent aggressor in the world is just "maintaining peace". If that isn't doublespeak then I don't know what is.

WW2 didn't happen because the US got in late. It was much more complicated than that and driven by fascism and imperialism across the globe. It's hard to say whether anything could have prevented that war.

We should be forever grateful for the people who fought back the fascists, internal and external. But you picked one of the few instances where it made sense for the US to go to war. Wars since the last century have become so destructive and violent that people will almost never support them except they are deceived or oppressed. The solution should not be "we do the killing for you under false pretense" but to put processes in order that are based on mutual agreement.
