I think you should probably limit it to psychology. The whole point of psychology is social control. Making society into what someone wants it to be instead of what it needs to be (from the perspectives of individuals who are trying to survive/do well, whatever that means to them).

Changing individuals while doing only things to the individual, not touching the problems their behaviour is trying to solve. Pointing out that only a house solves homelessness, there's nothing a therapist can do. And research points out that therapists are destructive rather than helpful as soon as they go further than giving information or providing practical help.

So psychology/criminology/orthopedagogy/sociology is a fraud. The basic promise of these sciences is simple: that they can, through talking and "interventions" change the behaviour of unwilling humans (especially children). Time and time again research shows: they can't. It just doesn't work. They can cause extreme trauma, using some combination of violence, isolation and 24/7 stress, which results in specific behaviour patterns that can be summarised as long-term fear and extreme aggression, which, to put it mildly, isn't a recipe for a successful fulfilling life. Aggression by the psychologists is usually masked, by pretending locking up kids, or forcing isolation up to and including the use of isolation cells, "isn't violence".

Currently, the popular technique is called "applied behaviour analysis". Lock up kids, in isolation (no contact allowed), and cause 24/7 stress. But variants have many names: "New authority". "Non-violent resistance". "Rock and water". All have essentially been exposed as not changing behaviour, "not sticking", and the like. Not that practitioners actually follow these techniques particularly well.

Have been using BB since its v.1.x and i have already built some amazing things with it. It reminds me of Borland Delphi when it launched their IDE. It feels like BB is RAD for anything WEB. Personally, i use it to built full systems, not just internal tools.

The rate of growth of the product is amazing and the team friendly and helpful whenever i needed some help! Try it out, and the product itself will convince you of its worth.

“More importantly, everyone can see that nothing useful is coming out of particle physics, it’s just a sink of money.” -cry of a (wo)man hypnotized by capitalism.

You cannot waste money, we made it up and can make more. Alternatively, you can explore the universe.
I would be more open to the idea that the only reason some people want to understand anything is because they want control over it. Here we see that the author only find value in what can be exploited for profit; (s)he wants to control the absolute minutiae of existence and is upset that (s)he cannot claim it as property to lord over.

If I were to give an ounce of sympathy to the profit motive of science, then I’d say that the way to profit off the unknown is to get people interested and willing to give money in order to create knowledge of it. In this way, particle physicists are wildly successful in both accumulating “Lots of money”, and in generating new mysteries to (be paid to) explore. Some factories generate fidget spinners, and the LGC generates wonder in existence. I’m happy for the latter.

Wikipedia uses MySQL and although I worked there for 7 years I never did much work directly with the DBs.

It's been 9 years since I worked at deviantart.com but last I knew the site still operated on a large sharded MySQL cluster divided into something like 32 individual shards where each user's data was on a shard determined by their userid.

Essentially just `shard = userID % shardCount`;

The application would connect to all of the servers and for many queries you have to send the query to all 32 servers, or some subset based on the records you seek, and then merge the results of all of those queries.
Nobody in EU will be in danger of freezing due to lack of gas. There is enough if gas coming from other places than Russia and the governments are mostly subsidizing it.

I don't know why people keep repeating this lie, do they want to support Russia so badly?

The real risk for Europe is a recession due to gas prices for industrial use - but that would mostly impact extremely rich places, like Germany.

This experience varies too much for the individual. I've been given almost no leeway with all of my interviews. Most of my peers are in a similar bucket but I will admit - I seem to get some of the worst experience out of my peer group. I am often given more LC hards than my peers and still rejected even if I give multiple solutions with optimal complexity. At this point, we all suspect it's due to superficial factors but can't obviously do anything about it.

Some people I know who are URT would not even have to solve the problem to get a passing grade. Some know this and actively take advantage of it (and good for them) but others are blissfully unaware and are shocked when they find out that what they experience isn't the norm.
>Real numbers can’t be perfectly represented in hardware simply because there are infinitely many of them.

There are also infinitely many integers, but we can represent them just fine inside a finite bound. The problem with reals (and rationals to a lesser extent) is that, within any range we are interested in, a single real number can be infinitely 'long'.

> 2- Russia: they are losing the war and now throwing conscripts with not a day of training on the front. That's pretty desperate move to say the least. Whenever they escalate, they see that as a chance to break unity among the west. Blowing up their (now useless) pipeline is in line with another desperate move: at least try to make something useful out of it. If Russia loses the war, Putin is just dead (at least politically). He can't care less about Russia economy at the moment.

You forgot to mention how Russia is supposed to profit from this whole situation.

Microservices with an api proxy were nice for me when I ran a small team because different subteams could use their preferred language, and set their own release cadence, and autoscale separately. It wasn’t so much about scale or quality as it was letting different teams independently build/deploy/maintain/scale different routes on the same public api server hostname.

We also got to centralize the read cache memory pool in the frontend, so each backend service is not potentially caching duplicate stuff, saving on memory across the org.
Why is the standard library not a HTTP call? Maybe all of this stuff ends up in WASM, I don't know, but I just get the feeling like if it was all over a network that's constantly evolving and becoming faster, that we end up with something that looks more like a networked and emergent language. Programming languages are stuck in the old world of compile and run locally, but what if they weren't, what if they were networked and evolutionary.

Circles were cool for the sharer, but there is another side: how does the person you are sharing to experience your circles?

- If they experience your circles as a DM, they are at risk of being spammed. They are experiencing your broadcast as something demanding their personal attention.

- If they see why they received this from you and can opt in or out, that's a mailing list.

- If they can opt in and post to that circle, it's a channel or group as is already in WhatsApp.

I think the need to compromise between sender and receiver is why we haven't seen more creativity here from platforms themselves. There are sender-centric agents for sales and marketing, but these are in an arms race with platforms for control of the reader experience, so only ones with a strong economic motivation persist.
> But then you move the goalpost

Let us be fair here: you moved the goalposts first by going from “it is an absolute fantasy” to, once people pointed out that they already exist, “but I can't see a use for one”.

> Because tuples cannot change over time, they are (slightly) faster to create compared to lists. Like you mentioned, they are being created just to be iterated over. It is a small enough of a performance improvement that it more of a style choice then anything.

But that's just wrong. Tuples are not just immutable lists. They're for heterogeneous collections and are meant to be destructured or otherwise have their elements acted on individually. Lists are for homogeneous collections and they're meant to be looped over. Immutability is neither here nor there. The performance benefit is negligible and irrelevant.

If you don't believe me, look at how type hints work: an arbitrary-length list of integers is typed like `list[int]`, but you have to write an arbitrary-length tuple of integers like `tuple[int, ...]`. It looks different -- why? Because the way you're meant to use tuples is like `tuple[int, int, str, datetime]`, where there's a fixed number of elements and each one has a distinct meaning, where it usually doesn't make sense to loop over and treat them the same.

It's also why there's list comprehension but no tuple comprehension.

The suggestion in the example is just plain incorrect.

Did the URL contain a capability string? This is a key that only you posses ideally and the URL is only active for a limited time. This is how every [edit: most] password reset links work.

Yes, the URL is on the public net, but unknown for everyone aside from you.

> Can it really be considered safe, a public URL; just because it's long

Yes: https://www.w3.org/TR/capability-urls/

Depends on the implementation of course. Many use the format of a UUID like this: 07463cd8-3f1f-11ed-b878-0242ac120002, although you should NOT! use a UUID, only the format or better something else.

But it is considered safe provided the link is only valid for a limited time (3 months should still be ok).

This mechanism should regularly be reevaluated though. It is especially security mechanisms that can compromise it. Corporate mail & firewall security will see the link, might log it somewhere where it can be exposed, etc.

But the fundamental mechanism is considered to be secure.

edit: The requirements for it to be secure are that mail and http access is secured by TLS of course.
Do you eat less healthy food? Or hang out with more dangerous friends? Or spend time doing more wasteful activities?

Or do you have an inward peace which makes going on about such things impractical and irrelevant?

I hear what you’re saying, and I agree that restlessly over sharing is counter productive, though I also notice that society tries to suppress the standards of others in some attempt for bland conformity.

Your answer regarding richness in life, as well as self reflection are merely your standards coming to fruition.
Yeah it's clear as day that this is the regular old Russian tactic to intimidate or attack and then deny, even tho everyone knows they are behind this.

What's the current thinking on a low carb diet for T1 infants?

I'm T1 and during the periods when I've eaten very low carb I had amazing control - once I got my basal adjusted right I was using only tiny amounts of Humalog and my curve was the flattest it has ever been. It felt more like very occasional nudges to something that wanted to move straight, rather than constantly batting back and forth between 2 lines.

That said, I do eat moderate carb these days, because I find that I can still manage good enough control - after decades of practise and with close monitoring and a fair bit of work - and it's more convenient for eating with others, not to mention cheaper. I found my energy levels and concentration on low carb were good after a while, but the process of switching is tough, and it's not something you can easily dip in and out of. If my highest priority was easier and more reliable control with minimal treatment though I would absolutely choose low carb.

I realise that for a growing child, the nutritional concerns would probably be rather different though.

I understand. But you don't really know if you don't even try to report it. And on this case.. I mean, this has to do with taking in income while posing as someone else, which ultimately affects the IRS, so I suspect there might be more interest at the FBI level than you think.

As a full time C++ dev I think the biggest argument is missing in this article: The consistent build and package management ecosystem.

With rust/cargo _it_ _just_ _works_. So many hours each month are wasted because of weird linker errors between linker targets, that cannot find a definition of a struct, dealing with broken external dependencies (yes I use vcpkg for that, still happens) and different build tools. I did get better the last few years, but still miles away from what Rust offers.

> Twitter seems so persistently corrosive and unhappiness-inducing. Why is it?

> These are people using Twitter with good intentions

I've seen a few good articles on the phenomenon, but I think it boils down to the fact that Twitter encourages/rewards constant conversation and anyone can pop up in any conversation. As a result, it rewards the most abrasive people who tweet the most. No sane, well-adjusted person without an agenda to push (or a product to sell, etc) has the time or energy to continuously engage in Twitter at the amount required to become a big figure unless they are otherwise already famous.

In essence, Twitter is the same 5% of insane people driving everyone else crazy. The other 95% of passive consumers don't realize that most content they read on Twitter is written by negative people. That's just how the platform works. If you are a well-meaning person trying to engage with this mob, either you'll get tired of it and leave or you'll get dragged into the negativity.

There's multiple studies showing that active posters on twitter skew more negative and more politically extreme (left or right) than the average population. It's a collection of people with axes to grind yelling at each other.

If you want to test this theory, start aggressively blocking people who reply to tweets with negative opinions. You'll quickly start seeing those same people already blocked when you read the replies to totally unrelated tweets. It's a really small universe of the same negative people generating most of the content.
You might want to ask Whole Foods/Amazon about that:

I did some reading on unum a while back, inc. Kahan's criticisms. There's another side.

There's a vid on youtube with Kahan and Gustafson talking over it. Kahan goes in like a wolf onto a lamb, much to gustafson's shock and hurt. Gustafson points out some of Kahan's criticisms are plain wrong, even citing the page in the book, then says something like "we should be working together on this, why aren't we working together?" Kahan doesn't respond.

Kahan may be right or wrong but his attitude is weirdly hostile, and Gustafson is no n00b about floats.

Countering with an adapted proverb: All working applicances are all alike, each broken applicance is broken in its own way.

This might be exaggerating a little bit, but I do think that repairing stuff is inherently more difficult to automate than production, and increased automation is the major way we've seen productivity gains in manufacturing other than offshoring to cheaper countries and shipping things over slowly but cheaply in bulk.
I think the point is this:

> Smartphones have their on OSes, UX, applications, etc. The point of projects like GPD Win or the one linked above is to run the same programs, OS, etc as you'd run on a regular laptop or a desktop PC.

Sure, an Android device could probably be hacked to do that. But most Android devices are usually locked-down, whereas the GDP & friends make it a point to be open.

I guess we should probably push for more openness from smartphone vendors (including Apple) instead of having yet another different device. Especially since now everything and the kitchen sink connects via USB-C. I'd absolutely love to be able to plug my phone in the USB-C dock at work instead of lugging around a laptop (which I use on top of a desk tethered to some fat screen and external keyboard like 99% of the time anyway).

At one point, I remember Samsung had something like that on their Galaxy line (DEX? can't remember the name). I was actually ready to pull the trigger on a tablet with that feature. Luckily, I found out they had just or were about to remove it.
There is, partial reprogramming using Yamanaka factors. The problem is that they can turn some cells into stem cells if they are applied too long, so while they work amazingly well, they have a side effect of causing cancer.

There are 2 ways to fix the problem: have a cure for cancer or use other proteins instead of Yamanaka factors that only do partial reprogramming.

There's research going on in both direction, though the second solution could have more research in it (the $2B injection to Altos Labs by Jeff Bezos can help though).

This is likely to be a core issue for most people. In reality it isn't "if it breaks, fix it", it's "if we notice it breaks, and we can remember what it should do, we can probably fix it". Tests allow you to spot when you break things, and also encode what they should do.
