Psychology has been trying to cast a wet blanket over a raging fire for a long time now. There's little meaning in the article to be discussed. The core is an increase of referrals for social anxiety and a whole bunch of implications about feelings and little-to-no practical advice or definition for the problem.

Pop psychology is a long way from useful, it's 95% noise, 5% signal. It's frustrating watching people seek solutions from it, when really all it can do is identify problems.

If you manage to model the "noise" and make it somewhat deterministic then it's not noise any more. If genetic variations really are the reason for these variations and some people are indeed measurably harmed by these compounds then it would be a very interesting and somewhat alarming result, but that's not what the study says or what we can conclude from it.
This made me smile. Back in 1991 I wrote my masters dissertation in 1st Word Plus runnng in GEM on an old 8086 PC. Being able to see fonts, bold/italic, etc. actually on the screen felt like seeing into the future. Given the limitations of the hardware back then it was pretty remarkable really.

I just (barely) passed what is known as my university's hardest first year physics course: electricity and magnetism. We didn't use differential equations, but we had the same hand wave "just think about it" relationship with line integrals. The way my professor explained it was "we're engineers, not mathematicians, so we actually know what we're talking about".

What he meant by this is that as engineers, we need to have intuition as to what an integral actually is rather than knowing how to prove things with them. To an extent, this is a good way to go about it. Really it's not at all useful to understand things like delta-epsilon as an engineer because those concepts really have no application. It's much more useful to just gain an intuition as to what you're actually doing when you're taking a line integral, and applying that to, for example, calculating an electric field strength as a result of an object.

Physics teaches physics, not math.

The last time I try to play with it, I got stuck on 2 things that seem basic:

- Couldn’t serve a static folder! Like I had a folder of js/img that I wanted to serve as is, didn’t want to transform into anything, it was super difficult to do.

- Couldn’t find an easy way to inspect or debug a live pipe.

It was a while ago so maybe things have improved a lot. However it kind of left a sour taste in my mouth when asking for help, I was told static folder is not really the scope of the framework and things in the like.
Had similar experiences with van Gogh. On a screen it's just some swirly images and color. On paper, the colors are better, but still just some swirly images. But in person, woah. You get to see the real colors. And those subtle differences between RGB and CMYK and reality do end up mattering. And the way he used his brush. It wasn't so much that he was painting, he was more sculpting with paint. The swirls aren't swirls, the strokes aren't strokes. They're glops of paint that get smoothed and cut into the right places. To do the color mixing with that much paint off canvas is really tough, especially in the sunlight. In person, I finally got to experience the technical mastery of painting that van Gogh had, something I never knew was there before.

Isn’t the incentive of journalists to report an interesting story part of the blame, here?

Female execs are less common. So a journalist might be interested in sprucing up the narrative of their article by doing more background on “what it’s like to be a female executive in a male dominated field” (etc).

Journalists are not purely focused on objective, fact-based inquiry. They’re almost always trying to weave a story and if there’s something socially unusual (for a given context) about someone, they have incentive to ask about that. More clicks for a human interest story about a “woman in a man’s world” than yet another male executive.

I won’t make a value judgement about whether or not that’s appropriate here, but I think that’s a pretty important part of the equation if we’re going to consider this individual sexism or not (because it has to do with the incentives in journalism generally, not necessarily with individual journalists).

I’m sure the question “Have you experienced sexism in your workplace?” is more commonly asked of female executives.

If it’s a feature you want, and there are multiple ways of handling it, why not go with a third party app with a windows placement scheme that works for you? I do.

It’s not. I bet I can run any program on my Mac in 6 keystrokes or less. I easily navigate via paths.

No—Windows takes a strictly worse approach. macOS [and Linux] give you “some [not to spec] monitors have very slightly blurry text”; but Windows gives you “some TVs just plain don’t work at all.”

Note how I didn’t say that the TVs are not-to-spec; that’s because the EDID spec allows TVs to just not report an EDID (TVs are low-margin, and that’s one fewer chip on the signal path), where the video source then must assume some standard default modes (e.g. 1080p@60 YUV 4:2:2.) But monitors, meanwhile, must report an EDID. Why?

Because all this only applies over HDMI; and HDMI is a protocol for talking to TVs first-and-foremost, which is why the EDID spec assumes YUV as the fallback.

Monitors generally have DisplayPort inputs; and if you plug Windows or macOS into a monitor over DisplayPort, it’ll always go SRGB, because YUV isn’t a video mode the DisplayPort protocol can even carry.

So when a monitor has an HDMI input, it’s essentially doing “TV compatibility” over that input—and it needs to report its capabilities with an EDID, lest the video source think it’s a TV and send base TV spec signals to it.

Which all makes the situation even more ridiculous: there are TVs that Windows can’t talk to over HDMI, despite the HDMI connection implying. and the EDID spec explicitly stating, that Windows should make the fallback/safety assumption that it’s talking to a TV.

Also keep in mind that this is a prisoner’s dilemma: the only reason that monitor manufacturers are able to “get away with” being nonconformant to the EDID spec is because of Windows’ leniency. Windows is the “defector” here. If Windows stopped allowing it, then nobody would be allowing it, and so the monitor manufacturers would have to shape up.

Some of the sentiments on this thread:
It’s shit, definitely not Art.
It’s decent, what is art anyway.
I like it.
Modern Artists are elitists.

My take. It’s shit. It’s art. It’s some rich dude and his buds finding meaning so good for them. It’s bland. And it fails to challenge society at large in any meaningful way unless you count not being able to get there to see it easily as an artistic merit.
Meh..

Yikes. When someone makes a comment about "noise" in this context, they simply mean "we can't tell whether the effect observed is due to the thing we're measuring". You'd need a much larger study with totally different design to even begin to approach the question of "do non-nutritive sweeteners make peoples' lives worse or shorten their lives compared to whatever else they might be ingesting". No need for the confrontational angle.

Nothing about that in the FAQ or guidelines (please link if I missed it) and it was just one day after the linked submission.

I am not reprimanding anyone. Indicating a dupe allows mods to merge the posts (and no, I'm not setting up a new e-mail account just for that).

> Doubly so when it's about my own prior submission that didn't get attention.

If you did post it within the past year, that submission is not showing up in search (unless you're operating multiple accounts to facilitate your high post rate..?).

Amazon's cost cutting race-to-the-bottom approach needs to stay as far away from the general population as possible.

While I do welcome a company like Amazon getting into the pharmacy space and using their power to lower drug costs, the potential for abuse is too great.

And that's without mentioning the staff of trained nurses and health professionals being managed under the same approach Amazon takes to manage its warehouse workers....

I'm in a similar position, except I've already read The Colour of Money. And found it boring. The only cool part was when Death appeared for a page or two.

So I'm going to give the Discworld another shot with Mort. It's third or so on my (fiction) reading stack. We'll see how it goes.

But maybe Discworld simply isn't for me. After all, I wasn't fond of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy either.

I concur. Even amongst buddies, colleagues, acquaintances, yada yada, those who insinuate that something is easy to do are often times insulated from the process/ grind, have little to no experience in the work, and/or are in positions of influence and power where they feel entitled to others doing it for them.

Same individuals, when put to the task to do the thing they claim is easy, either refuse constructive criticism from people with more experience and make something pretty bad in quality with many details overlooked and left unaddressed, or give up and come up with excuses.

Makes me think that even crappy movies that are easy to eviscerate, are still pretty dang difficult to make. This isn't to say crappy movies deserve coddling and undue praise when it fails at what it sets out to do, but focusing on the notion that just because something doesn't resonate with you as a consumer of the work of art, and because it appears simple, that somehow, you as the person who rejected it are just as, if not more capable, to make something slightly better, is 99 times out of 100 rooted in a delusional pride. I've def done this as well, and ate plenty of humble pie along the way (just to level the playing field, so to speak).

Have you tried Diablo 3 yet? After the real money auction house fiasco, Blizzard did a 360 and completely turned the game around and continued to grow it over the years. It is an excellent game now.

Path of Exile is another really good one, more like D2, whereas D3 was more streamlined (plays very well, but less customization).

Both do random dungeon generation.

In a different genre, but Deep Rock Galactic has super cool underground cave systems procedurally generated... it's just an excellent game throughout: https://www.ghostship.dk/blog/procedural-level-generation
What are you doing to handle replication among nodes? There's still a great reason to reach for Redis for caching and messaging despite using Elixir: when the Application crashes, the state is gone.

Great for them. I doubt that they will be able to manage the overall supply chain as well as the original company, but IF they manage, great for them indeed!

Those McDonals, Coca Cola and Starbucks brands have not much innovation. They are easy to copy and replace. And this is a good opportunity for Russia to develop its own brands.

Obviously they will copy the concepts in step 1; step 2 will be operationalizing the business, managing the supply chain; step 3 must be expanding and innovating.

I wished that Germany would do something similar and replace the McDonalds and Burger Kings that we have everywhere.
There's a lot of "you don't understand" in this response.

Does this imply that all art has some objective meaning, or value, and some people fail to recognize that while others are consistently able to appreciate it?

I'd say that enjoying art is subjective, and if you don't find value in a certain piece (or even in a certain genre) that's not a failing of the observer to "understand" properly.

I also don't find concrete structures in the desert visually appealing, nor do they enrich me in some way. Perhaps in person they would.

For anyone who was subjected to the standard intro ordinary differential equations (ODEs) course and left unenlightened, I’d highly recommend Vladimir Arnold’s book on the subject [1]. It gives a lot of insight into the underlying geometry and can be read profitably by anyone comfortable with Calculus I-III and undergraduate Linear Algebra, and who took intro ODE. It wasn’t until I worked through this that I really got and appreciated ODEs.

This is cool but useless. It's an impressive build but I don't see a single reason why Lego might want to sell that.

I can see real value in more interactive builds, teaching kids about machinery and logic. However this display that can only show simple animations and is too small to use as output for any sort of machine is not that.

Is this brutalist though? Concrete elements are brutalist in the context of buildings because they're the exposed functional component of the building.

I like it but coming with experience in Rails there isn’t the depth of hex packages to choose from and I don’t know if I’d call Ecto an ORM for a couple reasons. Well, there aren’t objects and Ecto gives you a blueprint to write DB code, you still need to write all of the actual code yourself for anything beyond a simple model structure.

Unless I’ve misunderstood things a bit. Thats part of the issue is the docs feel obtuse (maybe its me), like very common things you want to do are buried somewhere and use different terminology than I would think. I understand the approach isn’t the same as Rails which is very opinionated about how to do things but I wish their were a set of opinionated guides on how to do things of medium complexity. Like complex forms, views representing normalized data from a half-dozen tables that have relationships.
Which is much different than the "I don't like their opinion, therefore they're stupid" barometer you use.
