The Pageview Paradox: How Great Results Cause Poor Performance
There's nothing colourful about drinking and about alcohol, to the contrary, there's only grey and black from a certain point on. That's what the article is all about (at least imo), i.e. about this wrong equivalence between "having a good time" and alcohol.
Do you have any statistics showing that?

What do you use a small laptop? Seems there's nothing ultralight and small like the Asus Eee and Acer Aspire One these days (even though you'd think it'd be easier with ARM now).
No mention of 'voting' to spend time with friends or family, getting outdoors, giving to charity with one's time or money, painting or trying to learn how to? Perhaps the author does these things or perhaps their context was restricted to work, but this kind of life seems a little hollow to me.
I don't drink much. When out with the beer drinking crowd I would ask a question or two. I don't care for beer, but I did learn some things. That was enough for me.

Eventually the conversation would wander to other things. I know more than I would like to about owning a boat (mostly that I don't want to). But hey that's something.

> I've never known anyone who would think less of someone for not drinking alcohol. At most it would have been a passing curiosity.

This is subject to some major sampling bias. Drinkers cluster with drinkers. Non-drinkers with non-drinkers. For example, I've noticed that people tend to either know very few alcoholics or heavy drinkers personally, or almost everyone they know has an alcohol problem to some degree.

"Thinking less of someone for not drinking alcohol" would fairly describe much of my social circle. I've witnessed the abstinent be subjected to some remarkable barrages.

Oh, you don't? Is it a health issue? It's not? Then why? You don't like it? Why not? Do you think you're better than us? Are you a recovering alcoholic? No? Then what's the problem? Aren't you perfect! Why are you so uptight? Why are you trying to ruin the fun? He bought the drinks for you, it's really rude to refuse. Don't you want to have a good time? Why are you such a buzzkill? Here, try this drink (that I spiked without telling you). Yeah, there's booze in it. What's your problem?

When nearly everyone drinks heavily, and they view that as normal, then deviance from that is perceived as just that, social deviance.
You seem to want to get offended for no reason. If I forced everyone from your town to move to downtown New York would they be happy about it? Or could it be that different people have different lifestyle preferences?

Why should the court care about Tesla share holders? I’m genuinely curious. Seems asinine that you can’t enforce contracts because a CEO signed a very poor one.

Even though it can be agreed that coming back to India is a good option for most many Indians, it is also to be noted that Indian political games within Indian orgs make it super hard to do anything. IMO the only reason to go back to India should be to start on your own with your trusted friends. If you think you can work in India and contribute positively think again.

> Back in 2004 when I lived in the UK, the NHS was really good. And I remember hearing at that time that it was nothing compared to the NHS in the 80s and 90s.

In a lot of respects, this isn't very accurate. It got pretty bad in the early '90s, anything that needed to go beyond the GP had really bad wait times, people stuck on trolleys in A&E, etc. By 2004 it was much better, so that anything which required a hospital visit would be dealt with much more quickly and effectively but the GPs were coming under more pressure from a growing and aging population so the first point of contact had a less personal touch.

Yeah I kind of disagree that "being flexible in what you accept when possible" is a benefit to the user. It's just more complexity pushed down to the user that is unnecessary.

In this example, I'm not sure why it's the functions responsibility to support all of these options when the user is perfectly capable of manipulating strings and arrays.
The great thing about markets is that we can both get what we want. You can get a remote job, and I can get an in-person job.

I will continue to argue against any government regulations forcing the issue one way or another. But if companies start demanding workers return and the pool of jobs available to you shrinks, that's not my problem.

To be clear, I oppose Mayor Adams's (and anyone else's) inept efforts to distort the labor market in favor of in-person working, even if it's towards something I personally prefer. Government should play no role in remote vs in-person.
Housing prices exploded to compensate for the negative real interest rates. The people who got the handouts were rich people who owned multiple houses and sold them off. For the most part others didn't get that hot of a deal. In effect it was a regressive tax that the poor paid for the rich by paying in inflation the cost to make multi-home owners rich.

Eating cheese and fear of flying hasn't had the same devastating effects on us or on close members of our families as alcohol has, so it is out of place to still promote it when we know how terrible it is.
"You can make a decent argument that concentrated poverty does cause some problems."

If TypeScript steers authors away from either of these patterns then all the better in my opinion.
A great counter point to the thinking in this article is this snippet by Dan Abramov: https://overreacted.io/what-are-the-react-team-principles/#a...

Yes we need better tools as library authors but absorbing this complexity is our job. The more we take advantage of what Typescript can do the fewer types the end users deal with and the better experience they have.

Making your library's internals simple should be a non-goal. The number of people dealing with it will be a fraction of the people dealing with codebases using your library.
Small drones have limited range, so you need to deploy them everywhere. The front line in Ukraine is 1000 km.

Maybe you can have a big "carrier" drone transport them to where they are required, like in StarCraft.

Or maybe you can make the small drones recharge directly from the grid, by landing on top of power lines and deploy the necessary connections.

The most worrying part is equaling respect of personal preferences with inclusive culture. ("I cannot participate in conversation, so there should be no this conversation")

Others said enough about prizes.

I respect my guests. Being vegetarian myself, I am trying to know in advance my guests' preferences -- and they are weird sometimes (no garlic, or no mustard, or you name it). But I am far from waging war on meat-eating: in fact I would go with friends to steak house without second consideration.

Inclusivity is a willingness to accommodate. It is respect to people preferences, regardless of small or big group they are. It is respect to event organizers: it would be nearly impossible to find venue. (I know vegans, and I know people who'd reject anything but meat -- any suggestion for a dinner place?) (In many events my lunch is "whatever you have vegetarian", and I have a backup protein bars -- but I consider it as my problem, not organizers'. They are busy, and I am grateful to them.)
Lol exactly my experience when at my last drupalcon. I just sat back and enjoyed my beer until there was a point in the conversation in which I had something to contribute.

Why is it not possible? The only "objective fact" is that people in certain areas in this country have lobbied hard to make sure that no one else should be able to move in anywhere around them. These rules are all reversible.
Libraries need good documentation with reference and code examples. What libraries don't need is complex type annotations that wont make it into the compiled code anyway. The worst documentation I've ever seen is the one that use the types as documentation, looking at you the Language server interface.
> From what I remember, the Java VM took around a minute to start the first time you opened any page with a Java applet, and it locked the whole browser while it started. Compared to that, Javascript loaded instantly. Also keep in mind that much less was done in Javascript back then, so even though it was interpreted, it didn't feel that slow.

I don't remember this. Probably its very early days at most.
Not sure why you got downvoted, it sounds interesting and potentially very valuable. There are few apps that combine the social/shared experience feature with "goal setting", but I haven't observed them being used extensively (outside Duolingo, but even then I don't have a group of "friends" for whom I get regular updates on how they're meeting their goals and an opportunity to give encouragement) and certainly not for activities like reducing how much you're drinking. If I had the time I'd definitely be keen on contributing.
To me, science can be a tool to achieve a moral end. Science can even clarify moral positions. For example, the revelations of neuroscience strongly support a moral position of humility. But in the end, our morals have to come from somewhere else.

I really hated during the pandemic how people moralized the science. I don't mean to say the science was ambiguous. It largely was not. But the, "I believe science" memes were a deceptive appeal to find morality somewhere we shouldn't. The moral position for wearing masks was not dependent on the certainty that they work. It depended on a willingness to subdue one's own will for the good of all.

I'm not saying that across the board the collective is the higher moral obligation. Collective vs. individual is a moral area that must be carefully weighed. For me, the clarifying question when suborning one's will to the collective is, "what if they are wrong vs what if I am wrong".

In the case of mask wearing, if they were wrong, there's relatively little harm. 24 months of off and on, minor discomfort. That is something for which, when weighed against the advice of experts is worth submitting over.
> Most countries I've looked into take up to 10 years.

The set of countries you want to compare with are the countries that claim they want to welcome immigrants. You don't want to compare with countries that you like but are hostile.

America claims to be immigrant friendly but compared to other immigrant friendly nations, the process is brutal and eats away entire lives.

> A lot countries I've looked into take 5-10 years for citizenship, the US is 14.5 months on average.

This is misinformation as citizenship petition N-400 is merely the last step. This does not count the time for green card before this. Getting a green card could take 3-10 years. Then, they'd need to remain a permanent resident for 5 years before they can even apply for citizenship.

> FOREIGN THREATS: Twitter is exceptionally vulnerable to foreign government exploitation in ways that undermine US national security, and the company may even have foreign spies currently on its payroll, the disclosure alleges.

This is a very strange article to me. When I think of Twitter and government influence, I think of the overwhelming pro-Washington bias.

I think of the "state-affiliated media" tags that somehow don't apply to RFE/RL and BBC.

I think of the countless heterodox/dissident accounts that have been banned or silenced on the platform.

I think of the "hacked materials" warning label that was invented to discredit a particularly damning story about a covert disinformation campaign involving Reuters and BBC.

I think of Twitter's complete tolerance of the obvious platform abuse by the textbook troll farm known as "NAFO".

I think of the revolving door between the federal government and policy/compliance positions at large tech companies including Twitter, of which Mudge is one of many.

My tinfoil hat is whispering that this story is part of a broader campaign to put pressure on Twitter to be even more compromised by the federal government and intelligence agencies. I just don't see how this "foreign threat" narrative lines up with the reality of how effectively managed Twitter has become over the past few years.

Realistically though, Mudge probably just has a huge hacker ego and is butthurt that he was caught slackin'.
Why would this be reported? What's the story?

Are you claiming that all media organizations are conspiring together to hide this information? What if they have no reason to report on it?

Figure 4 shows the front dropout facing down and forward, not down and back. I agree that down and forward makes more sense in terms of preventing the axle from moving. the middle image in fig 4. says that the axle is moved down and to the rear during braking as the brake pad acts as a pivot point.
This reads a lot like calls for fascism in the interwar years.
The solution for divergent preferences is not restricting the ones people enjoy the most, but increasing the options overall. I can't help but think the author is a very self-absorbed person for considering that line of thinking something we should try.

I'm wondering why that is. I would think that with the growing movement against NIMBYism that there would be enough people fed up with those sorts of policies to start moving out of the areas they don't agree with.
If the extraction of rent over the long term is an issue, do you also consider the extraction of mortgage interest by out-of-state entities to be a similar problem? This is how investments work, people inject money in now, in the hopes of returns later; the hope is that in the meantime, the locals benefit, and are able to create the foundations of longer-term success.

To answer your question ‘how do we separate ego and emotions from our work outcome’.

Rarely are there people that are completely emotionless. Often when people say they are rational, it means they don’t have a good cognitive understanding of their emotions.

So, in the context of a work environment, I’ve found it’s very helpful to take in account peoples emotions when getting tasks accomplished. And like, there’s countless studies signifying the importance of emotional intelligence in the workplace.

Fun in-jokes are a way of getting to know a person in a casual way. This is really important, because knowing someone allows you to know their motives, what’s important, potential hurt points, etc.

This all becomes very relevant when there is an important issues to be addressed. I can adjust timing, who hears the message, context of the message, etc based on what I know about the person.

Eg, if during small talk, I find out someone has been up all night because their kid is sick. Sure, that kid is not my problem, but if I wait till they are more rested to tell them about an issue in their design it will be more likely to be resolved in a productive manner.
I actually think that Bandwidth is an excellent term, especially when you're talking about team resources. When I'm working on team planning it is exactly like allocating bandwidth for the different things I want to pass down the pipeline. It makes less sense in the context of a single person, but when I'm thinking about a team it's a good choice.

Also regarding context - I actually use it in the original sense too - being new to my team I don't have enough context to understand the constraints of a decision I'm asked to evaluate, and it's not only knowledge - it's historical context as well. So again, might be misused but in the right situation it's the right word.

The author didn't say that you can't have alcohol in events. The example that they gave was that at the networking event all the drinks were alcoholic and the server had to struggle to find a non alcoholic drink for them.

Following your example, their experience would be akin of having a lunch event at a work event were they only had pork for eating when chances are that in the group there are probably some vegans/vegetarians or people that due to religious belief abstain from eating it. The argument is not that you shouldn't have pork. Is that you should also have some more options.
But where do you think it'll be in 10 years? Progress is being made towards renewable energy, people are taking trips by bicycle more, and although the change hasn't happened yet, public sentiment is that the NHS needs to be "fixed", whatever that may end up meaning.
Cambridge Analytica had no way to buy Facebook ads, which were the primary platform of these micro-targeted ads during the campaign, specific to people in the gathered data they had without Facebook platform support. Facebook ads never had an API that you could just give it user IDs or emails and target them specifically (and one would hope that Facebook would eye any such ad campaign with suspicion even before scandals like Cambridge Analytica). Cambridge Analytica had to encourage Facebook to add most of its same demographic markers into the platform to pull that off. That's definitely one of those "it takes two to Tango" sort of things where if it wasn't in Facebook's platform, how did they target those ads in 2016?

Certainly they cross-compiled that data with other ad systems and phone lists and who knows what else, but given the scandal with respect to that specific campaign was primarily about their micro-targeted Facebook ad buys, Facebook is still left culpable as the platform owner at the end of the day.

But I'm of the belief that micro-targeted ads should be illegal in general, and all of the micro-targeting enabling ad platforms seriously questioned for what they've enabled in the last decade or so. The fact that they are generally acceptable and multi-billion dollar revenue generators is its own reminder of what this thread is about that the average person doesn't seem to care about all of these invasive data privacy issues.

Salting and cold smoking is processing it, "processing" doesn't require some fancy high-tech voodoo.

And it's possible (I'm not particularly up to date on the science - but for example search for "cold smoked meat carcinogens" and you'll find plenty of reading material) that by salting & cold smoking it you're already making it as unhealthy as much-more-processed (for higher shelf life, product consistency, etc.) supermarket bacon.
