I want to make friends on my own terms, rather than letting them initiate, I guess? Maybe this is evidence of narcissistic traits.

Also, I don't really want to talk to like minded people. I already think like myself, and I don't really want a hugbox of people who think like me so we can spend time telling each other things we agree with. I'm interested in challenging my ideas a bit, and encountering new perspectives.

All that said, I use this username on other social networks so if people are determined they can find me that way.

That's right. I introduced 'post a job' feature only today.
Welcome to Job boards. It’s not really a secret that this is how many, many, many of them work.
Can confirm. I had an uncle a retired minister turned slum lord who told me he could pay the city police a large fee to come out and enforce an eviction or he could offer a tenant to have all their stuff to the curb by 5 o'clock for a hundred and most of them would happily take the hundred. This was about 20 years ago.
Stored procedure was the norm when I was a young programmer. Dynamic SQLs are recent and was the cause of SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Cars don't drive themselves just because you put fuel in the tank.
the author seems to hate himself and is entirely too caught up in appearances. if you want to ride an e-bike, ride an e-bike.

he seems to not know what he’s talking about as well. he posits that bikes traveling 20-30mph will tempt riders to try and join traffic. who wants to tell him that that’s how fast human-powered bikes already go?
Is it actually different from Nreal goggles or is this a rebadged/licensed for better market support?
Rory Sutherland (behavioural science chap) made a similar point on travel. He says that when he must get to the airport on time, he takes the back roads that get him there in a guaranteed 30 minutes rather than take the freeway that will take 15 minutes 95% of the time but could be heavily congested (and inescapable) otherwise. Sometimes urgency and efficiency are at odds!
Thanks for mentioning GraphHopper. Happy to answer GraphHopper and OSM related questions :)
> Tolkien is culture, Amazon's rings of power is not.

Funny. Culture is almost everything. If we like it or not, if it's high or low culture, that's a huge discussion. But for sure the TV series is culture.

Cool link! True, the association with light is strong, universally.

Actually, there was also the social class factor in any culture where tanning is highly visible: aristocrats vs everyone else, who had to work outside. No tan = upper class.
What the sibling person is saying is relevant, and I'm kinda confused why you dismiss it as a straw man

> I'm describing the nature of creativity and no, the creative process is not simply fitting things together somehow.

Many non-naive folks in the sciences would agree that creativity (as far as the universe is concerned about human activity as a physical phenomenon) is basically just aimless recombination of semiotic structures, seeking stability that helps it (and associate structures) to persist. It's not unlike the function that genetic recombination performs in the biological strata of information. Genetic recombination are creativity in the biological substrate. Our version is just much more highly dimensional, but it's the same shit (the same forces in the universe) underlying it.

Your saying human creativity is "something more" feels to me like an example of elevating the subjective conscious experience of it
When is that first starship orbital launch again?
All the classic economic models for choice that I've seen fail to consider that the perception of not only risk but reward are BOTH nonlinear. IMO, this has been an Achilles heel of classic price and game theory. The rise of behavioral economics in recent decades would seem to agree with this iconoclysm.

If I need $1 million right now or else a loved one dies, then it doesn't matter how big the reward of a riskier alternative choice may be. I take the million NOW. If the additional reward is a victim of decreasing value as that offer rises, it's only rational for the decider to show diminished interest in choosing the greater reward (even if the marginal odds are only a tiny amount less likely).

Disregarding the reward curve of the individual is going to consistently misjudge economic choice and will surely be a poor basis for any economic model.
I'm unsure why the ability to tie the IDEs with the 'space' issue system is not in place. I've gotten very used to using IntelliJ and PHPStorm contexts relating to issues tied to an issue tracker. There's no connector for 'space', and hasn't been for... over a year? If they're wanting to offer all these items and tie you in to an ecosystem... then tie them together. I'm probably in a minority in using it, but it was the first big WTF I saw when trying to start some new projects with 'space', and just gave up for now. If it's not that important to them after a year... it makes me question their priorities (have been a paying IDE customer for... over 10 years at this point).
The problem with the analysis in the article and with your analysis is that the expected utility of the player is not the same as the expected amount of money. Different people have different "utilities of money" reflecting their different risk tolerances, incomes, satiation rates (diminishing marginal utility), etc. The expected value analysis is the correct one if you use the right "value".

If you are only playing the game once, then any rational agent should attempt to maximize expected utility. Here "rational" just means that preferences are consistent in a particular way. For the purposes of this game played just once, almost all humans are rational. When humans play multiple times, they quickly lose the ability to calculate and make rational decisions.
Thanks, but the only thing I did was sign up. I didn’t look up any stocks. I may have looked at the demo page for a second or two but didn’t do anything with it.
Wonder if the creators of this site have the courage or guts to run to ICANN or RIPE just like what the Ukrainian government did to request the immediate removal of Cloudflare from the internet all because Cloudflare won't do anything and is still serving Russian IPs.

I'll tell you this. Nothing is going to happen with either ICANN, RIPE or Cloudflare. You can scream, complain, criticise, throw a tantrum, etc but they won't be booted off or shutdown.

Not going to happen.
Through the grinder of mythology black can become white and up can become down. You can't trust it except in the blurriest sense.

This is what makes science so special and revolutionary. The alternative being normal horrible epistemology like everybody does it all the time since forever.

And yes, even science can be mythologized.
It sounds like a lot of the 'jobs' that 'digital nomads' claim to be working at when I meet them. I agree that it doesn't sound real.
It's so frustrating! There are just some people who won't just step back and look at the big picture. An exception now and then won't hurt. Maybe they were on a power-trip, afraid of rocking the boat, or just mindlessly doing their job like a cog in a big machine.
That is going to make some very expensive scotch.
What did you like, specifically?
Have you considered finding somebody to act as your “talent agent“? I don’t know exactly how this would work, but with so much money being left on the table I think it makes a ton of sense to be creative. I totally understand how awkward it can be to ask for more, but if part of the block is your own personality, there must be someone out there who would have less of a problem asking for what you deserve. The ROI would almost certainly be huge regardless of their cut.

> Italy, Tuscany, mid 1800, [where] no black woman was ever seen

I hear people say things like this a lot, and it's always jarring to me to think where they get that impression, because it's quite ahistorical. Going back actually all the way to antiquity (Romans, Vikings), there was far more visible diversity across Europe than what you typically see in cinematic portrayals. The homogenous image people have is a product of Hollywood, not a reflection of what the time period was actually like.

Anyway, your statement is objectively incorrect, even beyond the obvious hyperbole. There were plenty of Black people in Italy in that time period, enough that it's really not shocking to imagine one as a magical character in a literal fairy tale.
Sure, STS-61c had 4 scrubs for mechanical issues. STS-71 had a similar ratio. So 4 mechanical scrubs on a semi mature vehicle
That is extremely far off from what other sources report. For instance, it does not match what the OECD says [0]: median individual income in the US was $42k in 2019; in France, it was $28k.

It also does not match what the St. Louis Fed says [1], which says the US median individual income was $36k in 2019.

as you said, RP-1 is probably a better choice for throwaway rockets, which SLS is.
While interesting, the editorializing of the author really takes away from the article.

> Will Vagus Nerve Stimulation Finally Get the Big Trial it Needs? (Probably not)

The author of the article, a person who studied environmental science, is weighing on medical topics with an authority they don't have. That type of thing immediately reduces my trust to the point where I can't read it anymore.
> The reason for this is that Directors of Fraud are aware that the policy choices available to them impact the user experience of fraudsters and legitimate users alike.

I think herein lies the crux: All things interact, and if you think they don't you are just not aware of how. The game is identifying and moving the cogs that a) are either most important and isolated to get you where you want most efficiently or b) interact favorably in concert.

You win relatively by understanding this better than others. You win absolutely by seeing or creating an opportunity to implement a brand new cog.

This comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32702062#32703005) from this thread links to this post: https://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2011/08/zygote...

TL;DR: right after launch, Chrome forks off a helper process which is then responsible for forking off child processes, so that all child processes use the same process image as the main Chrome process. It also opens all files it will need right after launch and just re-uses the same file descriptors, so it always keeps references to the old files. This is complicated and brittle and a source of bugs, but when everything works and nobody makes a mistake, it means the old Chrome can keep running without problems even after all its files have been replaced with those from a new Chrome.

At least that's how it worked in 2011 according to Evan Martin.
Yeah, the fixed “cost“ (in effort) of bringing someone in can totally dominate the financial cost for smaller engagements. Especially when a manager is spending their large company’s dollars.
Not sure what experts you are talking about, Russia itself said Ukraine is no more if it continues to pursue NATO membership. They were saying that since orange revolution in 2004.

Also, looks like your neighbors don’t share your opinion.

> Well, life doesn’t always give many chances to play a game.

Disagree. Sure - you don't get many games involving millions of dollars, but you do get many for smaller amounts.

I could put all my extra money into paying off a low interest mortgage (guaranteed return), or I could put it in an index fund (higher average return, with no guarantees, and a potential for a loss).

And working at startups: Not sure the expected value is high there. May be higher than working at a FAANG. I doubt it.
They are mentioned in the article, but I just picked up a pair of NREAL air glasses to use with my steam deck and I am blown away so far--the price point is about 1/3 of the T1s but most of the specs are very similar. The support for fixing the screen using the 3dof sensors is limited to their android nebula app for now but if they write a driver that allows it on a computer that would be helpful, but for now I find they are most comfortable to use in a fixed position (ie laying back on the couch). The technology to make compelling head mounted displays is finally here--I've owned various HMDs for drone viewing but nothing I'd want to relax and watch a movie/play a game on (the screens are usually too small and 480p resolution at best). More competition will only improve the space so kudos to Lenovo!
Libraries are how software is shared and reused.

Do you really intend to write your own library for a given task when there is a perfectly good and mature library that does that task and more freely available?

How long would it take for you to write your own Sqlite or your own Nginx?
Yep! The only information contained in this terrible article is not about bicycles, it’s about the author. He has toxic friends and a fragile self image.
My job is what I want to work on. But I'm lazy, and I know myself well enough to know that if I didn't have to go through the things I dislike about my job (hello doing performance reviews), I'd stop doing it all. And it would ultimately be to my detriment. I wish it were otherwise, but there we go.

second party throws up a tantrum "why wont they accept facts", both start fighting. why?

i understand the concept of remembering a terrible incident but why can't people have opinions? like i can try to convince a flat-earther that the world is round but they wont listen so should i beat them with a lead pipe til they accept my point?

i am not trying to undermine anyone's suffering, shit happens but why is the current generation, someone who has NOT seen the events first hand so adamant on everyone toeing their line?

i am under actual persecution as i write this so its not like i don't know what that feels like but yeah

It depends. If there are 29 other students in the class that got it just fine and the one is struggling, then I would think that the teacher would have to make a judgment about how much time to spend on that one student. Or maybe that one student needs to be in a different class with more one-on-one for a particular subject.

What a valid statement, you're missing my point. In the scenario I listed above, the teacher is already re-explaining the lesson again, to that specific student.

So if you read my statements in that context, the difference is -- when already repeating the lesson individually, does the teacher say precisely the same thing, word for word, or does the teacher try to explain it in a new way?
Magnetic gears – why nobody talks about this?
A significant number of individuals using this rule use it in bad faith. E.g subletting the place without paying the landlord rent because they cannot be evicted. The landlord will never be paid and take a loss
The "looking weird" is an argument that I find really interesting, as it is both completely true, but also extremely volatile.

For instance wearing headphones in public 40 years ago had a strong social opposition, and you would totally look weird with headphone on. This was replayed with bluetooth ear pieces. Those ships have long long sailed.

Same argument was also made for the smart watches. Every time there was a kernel of truth, but as this is only a question of perception, there just needs to be a switch in people's mind and we reach the other side.
> he declared he would not be buying the $300 espresso machine he had come in to buy

FWIW I strongly doubt that people who say things like that ever really intended to buy the thing. If you were really planning on buying a $300 expresso machine today, are you actually going to change your mind because you had to wait an extra 5 minutes?
All of this is correct!

I use an instance I host myself that only has one other user on it. I've found that in such a case you have to follow very aggressively (to get content federating over to your instance; X who I follow RTed something from Y that sounds interesting, Y's profile seems like a good vibe, I follow) and unfollow aggressively (Y is live-tooting a reality show with many, many posts), which is kind of doing the work more manually that Twitter's algorithmic regime does for you. But it's also giving you control, so... trade-offs.
Kind of like video game reviewers are experts lol. The problem with the do called experts is that often they have a strong financial incentive to give high marks to expensive ips. So if Amazon spent 500m for the show buying some critics for 5m total seems trivial
The ethical issues of accepting nonzero fraud are that striving for zero fraud creates program design changes that lock people out of benefits. If you design a health care system that aims for 0% fraud, some measurable number of people are going to be deprived of care because the registration and billing procedures are too onerous. With taxes, aiming for 0% noncompliance will prevent people from taking advantage of deductions and credits.

This isn't hypothetical; it's the issue underling the "program design" controversies about means-testing in public policy.
You say "be a programmer" to make it sound demeaning. I am not a "programmer" I am a software engineer, which is a very different way to put it. Studying CS to be a software eng is definitely not over kill.
> the qualities most often lauded in the advice manuals of the 19th century were “citizenship, duty, work, golden deeds, honor, reputation, morals, manners and integrity.” In the post-Carnegie era, these concepts were replaced by words such as “magnetic, fascinating, stunning, attractive, glowing, dominant, forceful and energetic.” Substance, then, was being replaced with surface, and the era of B.S. had begun.

Quite accurate, but this had nothing to do with Carnegie and everything to do with the society-wide disaster that was WWI and WWII. If anything, Carnegie tried to avert the damage with his philanthropy and promotion of culture. The author is grasping at a strawman.
That's a strange take. Do you mean that you would rather call external binaries directly, like Bash does, or that you would rather re-implement all functionality you need, however complex?
Not sure what you mean by this. Even in the most basic rational choice analysis, where the players are agents seeking to maximize a utility function, the "reward" can be nonlinear. I'm not familiar with any economic model that unintentionally restricts the agent's utility to be linear. Sometimes you assume that agents have a linear "utility of money", but everyone in economics knows that this is a taylor expansion around a small region where the linearity assumption is reasonable, and not an actual fact about human preferences.
Interesting read! It is amazing how some discoveries like this are made almost by chance.

Russia guaranteed their independence. An independent country can teach its own language and stop teaching a foreign language. An independent country can seek other alliances. They didn't violate anything and Russia had no right to invade. There's a reason everyone sanctioned Russia and knowingly shot themselves in the foot while doing so.

About elections. It's funny that you're so passionate about elections when results suite your opinions. Yanukovych was elected by a hair unlike the current president. So you show lack of respect to democracy.
All the domain revolves around things moving around in the real world, there is no pixel.

Also at some point, to prevent unit problems, someone tried to add methods for units handling (set value and unit, get value for unit, or get value and unit separately), but it was a train wreck (people setting with fancy units, people getting the raw value assuming SI, and when unit was properly specified to the getter much time was spent in the object oriented and allocation addict units framework, and the code was bloated with units condiderations), so we got rid of that (which could surely be done better, but we thought it was just better without. We just have a few utility functions on the side for the rare cases where we need units conversions).
I know Mozilla isn't the litigious sort, but I would strongly suggest getting Ubuntu to either stop using the name "mozillateam" or put some monster disclaimer on that page and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam because neither of them indicate it's not Mozillians making those changes
