I’m saying that people reach that “existing ideal” to the extent that their ego is shrunk, and you’re saying that people fail and thus religion does not moderate the ego, yes? I guess my theory fundamentally disagrees with yours.

I’m basing what I’m saying on the article author’s line “the saints of all religions” implying that their “religious mindset” is limited to those considered saintly. Aaron perfectly represents Israel’s lack of fidelity; I think it’s safe to keep him, even Moses (it was his ego that kept him from the promised land), separate from sainthood. Ultimately, the author’s intended point in making the single statement you and I are talking about hinges on their idea of sainthood (and perhaps Jesus is Christianity’s only true saint). Since you bring up Catholicism, note that their literal “sainthood” excludes Moses, Aaron, David, etc. (not to mention excluding the other high priests you point out).
Avoid sunlight in excess is different than avoiding sunlight completely. Getting exposed to early morning light for 15-30 minutes has shown to be very beneficial.
>and power hungry

This is an important point. My household uses very little power and when we eventually switched out our old plasma TV after a decade or so of use, our power bill halved. It's hard to pin it all on the TV because this is hardly a scientific experiment but that was the only notable change during that period.
Just change your standard of normal? Those bland boring years before 2020 in which nothing bad ever happened.

Why does every web site default to aggressively paginate their information? Pagination sucks, it's a waste of time and of clicks, and should be a last resort. Sure, when Google returns millions of search results, paginate. But:

For instance, if you have 40 entries and specify that there should be 10 items per page

40 entries??? Just show them all to me. My browser has a scrollbar, CTRL-F is much faster than your search box.

"but not everyone has a reliable fast connection" -- yes, which is a good reason to deliver more data per http request than breaking it up and requiring lots of slow requests.

"but the database load" -- half the queries, each returning 2x data, is almost always going to be easier on a RDBMS. If it's not then you probably need to rethink your schema.
Yes. At the very least some kind of pub/sub interface? Also worth noting that, if it's the data depth issue that's looking to be resolved, the Algolia API is often useful in places the Firebase structure falls short.
Thank you, I tried looking for the original tweet but with less success. I agree with your comment.
Well that is not a full story.

But if you have a link in an email it will go through couple of other checks for sure, where it might be considered SPAM. If there are no links bunch of checks will be skipped.

That is my reasoning, I am not configuring any spam filters on my own.

This might be true; but looking into the linked study, it appears to be on Dartmouth students. This claim at least maybe culturally dependent.
This is not a "political reason", it's a "professionalism reason" or even arguably a "malpractice reason", whether you like it or not.
> they mostly tried to explain the existing tradition of baroque music, more than invent new theory

Explaining existing music means creating new theory. Creating music and creating a theory about it are two different things.
Well in the case of source code I'd say the protection is pretty strong, considering the courts allowed publication of code that the government considered a munition:

> The Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (the ITAR regulatory scheme) required Bernstein to submit his ideas about cryptography to the government for review, to register as an arms dealer, and to apply for and obtain from the government a license to publish his ideas. Failure to do so would result in severe civil and criminal penalties.

> ...the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that software source code was speech protected by the First Amendment and that the government's regulations preventing its publication were unconstitutional.
This isn't particularly unusual. I live in a house (with a garden) in Liverpool and don't have a car. I cycle the 2.5 miles to work, and there are frequent buses and trains to move around more broadly.

There are certainly times it would be more convenient to have a car, and most people around here do. I've just never got around to it (though I do have a licence, and hire one maybe once a year for a trip to somewhere awkward).

If you live near the middle of London, on the other hand, a car is positively unusual: the public transport is ubiquitous, often faster than sitting in traffic, and much cheaper than parking. That's not true of most places in Europe, though.
They typically have one laptop, and a) they are not happy if I tell them that they need to switch to linux (and no word, less games...) b) it's often cheaper laptops with questionable linux support.

It's not like we can buy them a work laptop. At least not for each undergrad.
Good point about TOS, that's indeed an important use case. However usually TOS declare that it is a responsibility of the user to keep up with changes. Good service providers also say they will make a reasonable effort to inform the user about the changes. So the TOS update notifications is not a complete blocker for my approach.

What do you mean by transactional messaging? Could you give an example?
"What's up?" is the knock. They could lead with whatever they really want to ask you or push at you, whether it's telling you about their vacation to Ireland or asking you if they can hold a thousand this month, but instead they've given you the opportunity to not respond, or to say "Hey, really busy; talk later?" :)

But the article also compares them to todays LCDs with 1000 nits. LCDs at the time weren't so bright either, they were about so bright as plasmas, but unlike plasmas, they also were gray goo.

This is true, but the fringe and the tail-end are by far the easiest problem to solve. It's what I decided to focus on, because it seems like people can't even agree that it's a problem in the extremes.

I was happy doing 40h, but after we had a baby I asked for 4 days instead for an undefined amount of time. Tbh, I don't think my productivity changed at all with the day dropped so it's a bit of a shame that the salary did.

But given I work in tech and basically get a very comfortable lifestyle either way, I don't think I'll go back to 5 days if possible. I know the current company won't push me to do it, and I interviewed with another which was fine with 4 days.

My wife also does 4 days (different), so my son gets an extra weekday with each of us independently which is also a great thing.
The pagination con given in the article is wrong, switching to stream isn’t fixing the dropping issue, removing sorting is likely why no records are being dropped (you wouldn’t drop records using a numerical sorted ID or creation date)

Pagination is incredibly useful to human. If I tell you I found something on page 15 you can relate to it, something I cannot do with infinite scroll.
I was just trying to figure out what my model is since I've never experienced the flicker, but I'm not home and it's too difficult. Looks like Panasonic has used the Viera designation for a long time and they continue to use it, so there's probably tons of different variations.

And yeah, it's not exceedingly bright, but I've only ever noticed the issue if there's direct sunlight shining on it, which is pretty rare.
It's less organic, but you can just pay Facebook to run ads once you've identified the particular niche.

> I’m at a fairly senior level so aside from meetings I’d say my work is semi-continuous as I think about the problems I’m working on regardless of if I’m at my desk or not.

This is true for me as well, but somehow my boss doesn’t seem to think that way. For the sake of consistency I think we should say time not spent at your desk is time off.
Switch to Supabase?
Yup. Been for a few years now. Hired through normal application, full time developer on a team of 6-ish. Worked there for a few years before negotiating down to 90%; a day off every other week. Then a year after that negotiated down to 80%. Proportional salary cuts in both cases.

Wasn't very hard to convince them. Made sure I was available for whatever coordination is required. Made sure I still meet expectations. Argued that my productivity wouldn't fall proportionally to the drop in time. No one has complained. Was a few months of adaption to make people realize I'm normally not available one of the days a week, but everyone has taken it in stride. Most are a little jealous.
It behooves the authors to present the limitations of the study. Lay people, unfortunately the majority, will interpret this to be definitive.

Half a dollar is still orders of magnitude more expensive.
I like this, because it would probably be better both for society and for the kids.

Let's say the state spends $15K per student with no disabilities. The state says to the parent, "OK, we'll give you $25K to take care of your kid."

The parents grumble, but they find a school that caters to those kids and will take that voucher. Would it be much worse than they're getting now? I doubt it. If it is, the state can subsidize that school, and probably still end up spending less than they are now.

Now it's a question of money, as it should be for a state-wide program. Would the state say "we'll give you $150K to take care of your kid?" Probably not. Really extreme cases that need that much money could be handled by other public & private organizations, but the state gains a measure of reasonableness for the school budget.
I've heard a proverb (I want to say Pacific Islands but I'm not sure of the source), "Knowledge is only rumor until it's in the muscle."

When I say "mostly, but not entirely" redundant what I mean is that the things that schools can offer over and above the information on the Internet are a small subset of what they're doing now, and the industry that supports them is largely a relic (e.g. the textbook industry.)

Schools can still offer in-person mentoring and tutoring, and lab facilities with supervision, but if you take away the daycare aspects of schools I think that's about all that's left (of the educational aspects.) The regimented scheduling, most of the buildings and school bus systems, etc. are the now-unnecessary bits.

Probably the button simply doesn’t exist to undo the termination 30/60/90 days later. Good luck getting them to admit it.
This isn't entirely a criticism of the parent post, but praise of entirely different education systems comes across as Finland ex machina: just do what they do and our problems are solved. Aside from the parenting component which is a huge part of student success, there's also the question of replacing school boards, administration staff, hiring better teachers of course and reforming local laws. And of course the teachers unions and the financial issues with pensions. There's no easy way to transition out of our existing problems and parents with the means just hit the eject button, sending their kids to private schools.
People customizing their own machines to suit their needs is in fact a good UX as long as they enjoy it
I always phrase it as the principles (mostly add/delete) stay the same, but the methods are almost always different. Once you learn the principle, it's always about the method of getting there.
Part of it definitely has to deal with the country where you're teaching, the kind of school (public vs private), surrounding socioeconomic conditions, age group, etc.

I taught ESL overseas in elementary and junior high school in Taiwan for years. Compared to my experiences teaching in the United States, the children are just empirically better behaved. There is an ingrained culture of respect for teachers and it shows.
Great Job, I ran a somewhat related site https://makeithappen.dev/ (no longer maintained, this was a hack weekend project build on stream a few years ago) but there's some cross functionality in there.

I guarantee you are annoying people with this. “Hello” conveys no information, you might as well say “tag”.

“Hello, could we set a time to chat about xyz” lets the reader give a meaningful response when available (and maybe thats immediate)

I'm not, but I manage an engineer who recently asked. He's fantastic, why would I care? I just filled out a form with HR and he's now at 80% pay 4 days a week.

I treat him with respect and he treats me with respect. If it ends up turning into a really difficult situation for the team, we might have a discussion about how to improve. But honestly knowing he's out every Friday will probably be a good forcing function for us to have a day with few meetings etc.
When I grew up, there were different classes for the smart kids and the less smart kids. There was a bottom class where the students had all sorts of behavioural issues. Some people just won't learn, and I think it's fair to separate them from the people who do. At least that way, teachers get at least a few classes of eager students.

I like to think of the "golden rule" as an incredibly elegant and powerful piece of software for decentralized systems. It's been described by a huge number of human civilizations [1]. I suspect if we ever come across alien civilizations, they'll also have their own version.

If you smoke enough algebra, you could use the DJVU algorithm to implement DJVU in PDF with layers. Or heck you could do it in SVG.
I was particularly struck by this: [..] One of the biggest shifts: a state law that went into effect July 1 requiring middle schools to start no earlier than 8 a.m. and high schools no earlier than 8:30 a.m, though campuses can also offer “zero period” classes earlier in the morning.

Supporters of the first-in-the-nation policy, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in 2019, cite what they say is “overwhelming research” showing that later school start times result in kids sleeping more, which improves their health and academic performance.[..]

I agree that it makes no sense to start school before 8.00 but shouldn’t children wake up early?

My typical school weekday in the 1980s/90s: I woke up at 4.00 am and studied for an hour. Did my morning exercise, got ready for school and had breakfast at 6.00. Then I would take the bus for extra math tutorials and reach school by 8.30ish. School ended by 3.30-4.00. After school classes and activities till 6.00. Homework time and dinner. one hour of tv time. Bed by 9.30-10.00.

This was in India and everyone I knew had this kind of schedule. I enjoyed my school days and childhood for most parts. Curious how it is for kids these days?
I don’t disagree with you, but markets also get saturated. I have an old iPhone 11 Pro and I just bought my wife an iPhone 13 Pro. I could by a new phone for myself, but nothing that I see is worth my time of going to the store, setting up a new phone, etc. Piling on: buying new gear unnecessarily often is also really bad for the environment. If Apple wants to continue to thrive, I think they need alternative income streams.

You mentioned Google. I think they are also working hard to find additional income streams. Google has good products in GCP as well as entertainment media like YouTube, YouTube Music, Play books/movies. But they are still too reliant in advertising.

I think Apple will do better than Google in branching out, but to be honest I enjoy both companies products while taking full advantage of Google’s privacy settings, Apple’s Lockdown Mode, etc. if people use Google with default settings, well, that is their decision.

> Only if they don't mind committing a career suicide.

Disagreeing with other scientists is not going to lead to career suicide. It's pretty much the norm.

Which is why when there is a scientific consensus that forms, it tends to be mainly the crazy ones who do bad science that go against the grain. And oftentimes their career is doing just fine, because in science we really value academic freedom.

The public has a very distorted view of this, mainly informed by bad priors and odd examples.
It needs the length for operations such as substring, or to apply length modifiers on regular expressions (such as \w{3,5}), which is a common thing in awk programs.

In fact, the return value of the u8_rune as implemented in the branch we are discussing (https://github.com/onetrueawk/awk/compare/unicode-support) returns a length to be used as an offset later.

This is not me saying, it's the author. There is a code comment there:

> For most of Awk, utf-8 strings just "work", since they look like null-terminated sequences of 8-bit bytes. Functions like length(), index(), and substr() have to operate in units of utf-8 characters. The u8_* functions in run.c handle this.

I know there might be different ways of doing it, but we're talking about a specific implementation.

I was wrong to assume he is storing stuff in UTF-32. He could have, but there was already code in place there to make the UTF-8 storage easier to implement.

Agree on the 80% thing but it's so hard to quantify output that a simple formula probably ends up feeling the most fair to most people. Also, remember what another person pointed out—it's not really a 20% pay cut because it's your highest-taxed salary that's been cut.
