When I was let go, I had to go through a whole procedure of giving back IDs, being debriefed, etc.

It was emotionally hard.

After it was over I found myself, outside the entrance to the building, with no way in.

I reached into my pocket, and realized I left my keys inside at my old desk.

There’s a procedure for letting in visitors, but it takes a long time. When I went to the receptionist to explain the situation, I was immediately buzzed in, and walked back to my desk to receive the keys.

That meant a lot.

I’m sure there was a security person watching me on video, but that’s a resource intensive courtesy.

Now is the time to be nice. It’s a time for empathy.

Make it a point to get together outside work. Invite folks laid off. Invite contractors. Make it clear they’re still “part of the club.”

People appreciate this, and in the long run it pays off.

> "If Rust people don't get this, we will have to part ways."

What are you quoting? I don't see this anywhere in the thread.

The nearest I see is:

If you cannot get over the fact that the kernel may have other
requirements that trump any language standards, we really can't work
together.

A reasonable, politely delivered, statement directed to an individual as opposed to Rust. It was in response to this rather cringy bit of lecturing:

No one is talking about absolute safety guarantees. I am talking about
specific ones that Rust makes: these are well-documented and formally
defined.

Rust has no formal language specification yet. It's still "an area of research," to paraphrase what is said when the question is asked. No defined memory model either; from the current Rust reference:

Rust does not yet have a defined memory model. Various academics
and industry professionals are working on various proposals, but
for now, this is an under-defined place in the language.

One could argue (not me; I'm far too pragmatic for such things) that Linus is being exceptionally generous in entertaining Rust in its current state.

Self-Programming AI Using Code-Generating Language Models
I never implied they can’t, if you have a green field project with no technical constraints then it’s pretty straightforward to make whatever you dream up. The article is trying to teach every discipline of the field of user centered design and companies past a certain size i.e. F500 companies, have design teams with people that specialize in the different areas like research, interaction design, front-end UI prototyping, etc. go look at google UX positions and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

The lone UX unicorn designer this article is targeting runs counter to UX positions in large companies and the work they do as a member of a design team.

If you want to be a solo jack of all trades type designer then certainly disregard what I’m saying, just giving advice as someone who has knowledge of what hiring managers are looking for on their design teams.

Anybody remember the C10K challenge?

In the 90s you could count on one hand the number of large scale systems that could support thousands of users concurrently.

Any half-decent mobile app these days could easily get to a few hundred thousand concurrent users.
Take a moment to wonder at the implication of your observation. Why do you assume, if three people all went to the same university and had the same credentials, that one of those people is almost certainly at the top 1% of absolute test scores because of their race? Perhaps you may be experiencing subconscious biases without even realizing it?

Based on your other comment, you would claim "Affirmative Action" is why you think this. But it is important to realize that by making this assumption at all you are expressing biased judgements on these three humans entirely based upon their race.
Whatever it is, it gives me Cthulu vibes.

Companies aren't the source of truth, but they do represent a floor of acceptable behavior for people working together in a group.

To give a counter-example: in my observation, in academia (in particular math and physics departments), there is a lot more tolerance towards excentric traits than in companies - and collaborating in a group nevertheless works.

Thus, companies are an insanely bad example to define a reasonable floor. Rather, the traits that are considered acceptable in companies are whether they are useful for making the company money. For example dark triad traits can be useful for that, so such traits are somewhat accepted in companies.

Maybe now with gas above 2€/liter, we'll see more people charging their PHEVs. However they are also a rich person's toy, since you need to charge them at home to have the battery-powered miles be cheaper than the petrol-powered ones ergo you need a home with a garage.

At public chargers you pay much more than at home per kWh. On top of that, they have been incentivized (0,25 Regelung) for companies as fleet cars (Dienstwagen) and companies give out free petrol so you have no incentive to charge it at home using your own electricity when you can just fill up otherwise with free petrol.

By this metric, any good software or development practice is an antidepressant. And...they aren't not in a sense, but it's just such a strange and, I guess, selfish? self-centered? solipsistic? way to frame and label the idea of doing things correctly and comfortably in a professional setting. Like, the common factor of good or bad software characteristics isn't that they're going to send every user into a depression or bring them out of one. A bad feature might annoy users, and if it annoys them enough it might contribute to depression, but putting the entire burden of depression on a single software tool is like a carpenter claiming that a single bad hammer gave them depression.

Just as´ examples of desirable properties are Unanimity, Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives.
If you know enough to suggest asset voting, I suspected you know enough about social choose theory or electoral systems to have at least some of them in mind. Asset voting is just plurality voting that reverts into weighted electors. It allows any kind of surprises that voters did not want.

>Any electoral change that requires an explanation of the form

The simplest explanation for is

1. Each party gets representatives relative to the number of votes they received.

2. Party representatives are picked in the order they received votes (open list).

Thanks for posting this, it was an interesting listen. The fact that every track exactly copied the improvisations rather than improvising around the tune (which I did not expect) says something about the merit of the photographer's argument, though. Although it doesn't say any more about it than the fact that the compiler got permission from everyone beforehand.

It's a separate work from Kind of Blue only to the extent that a different mix or running the tracks through a distortion pedal would be.

It's not about "hope", it's about what is possible/will happen, in this case I don't think there is the room for governments to manoeuver anymore, i.e. they can't bail out the banks without creating 10-50x worse of the exact inflation they're trying to fight. Some may argue these governments can simply continue the exercise of holding the private banks on their own balance sheets such as in the case of Japan owning most of the issued bonds, but that comes with its own set of consequences, Japan has been stuck in stagnation and a "silent depression" (to borrow Emil Kalinowski's term) for the last 30 years. I don't think that is going to wash this time.

I'm Indian, though not a Tamil-speaker, and I couldn't tell you with 100% certainty the correct pronunciation of that village name. At least not when written in the English/Latin alphabet. I can think of 2 different pronunciations for at least 4 of the syllables in it.
By this logic torture also "works".

In both cases the application thereof, while it will not assist at all with getting to the truth of any issue, will certainly allow you to manipulate those you subject to it to tell you whatever you want to hear.

Of course, as soon as they are removed the subject will typically recant, and often overcorrect in the exact opposite direction, in light of the exposure to loathed coerced manipulative strategies.

Sunlight doesn't have that problem. People may make mistakes and come to the wrong conclusion, but at least they won't double down on their erroneous position as a retributive strategy for the coercive manipulation to which they have been subjected.

But hey, maybe some ends are just so awful they justify any means in pursuit of their prevention, be it torture, censorship or whatever. Certainly lots of people these days clearly seem to think so.

`man' is awful when there is more than a few "pages" to scroll through and you can't easily skip stuff because it is an all or nothing endless scroll of text.

It is great for references, but not for reading in a non-linear way. They are called "manpages" after all, not "mantomes" :-P.

Texinfo and similar are much better for this and the info format is fine as a text-based format (or with some minimal image use but not all viewers support those).

The problem is that the default `info' viewer feels weird to most people, but there are alternatives like `pinfo' (which IIRC uses lynx-like keys) and `tkinfo' (a GUI-based viewer written in Tcl and Tk). IIRC KDE's help viewer can also view info documents.

Texinfo and info is also nice with its index functionality and how it supports multiple indices. In a way info is kinda like CHM (but with optionally multiple indices) and Texinfo is the official way to make info documents.

He’s right to do so. Statements that your research must be presented with a filter based on how it will advance political goals calls into question the integrity of all research. When people don’t “trust the science” this will be why.

But further, I’d never seen the statement from antiracist before…wow. The idea that the only cure for discrimination is discrimination is akin to saying the only cure for violence is violence. It’s abject insanity that such a notion is being advanced in society.

The cure for discrimination is forgiveness. The cure for violence is forgiveness. The cure for hatred is forgiveness.

The only way anything stops is for people to have the humility and wisdom to say “this will stop with me.”

Putin doesn't care about contracts. He does care about having operational pipelines so he can use them as leverage with the west when Europe runs low on energy.

The US finally cobbled together a coalition to block Russian aggression, and the coalition is enabling Ukraine to win this war. Why would they want to destroy this coalition getting caught sabotaging pipelines in Europe?

If you code at a professional level, you are likely of above average intelligence. You are able to efficiently reason about complex systems to some degree. Those two skills alone qualify you for many jobs, especially when you’re willing to learn. What those are depends entirely on your interests and further skills.

Often, looking into a completely different direction is helpful. Ask yourself what you enjoy doing, apart from programming and computers. It could be cooking, gardening, talking to people, writing, teaching, whatever. Something that is not stressful for you to do. Something your friends maybe told you at one time or the other you’re good at without having to put great effort in it. Something that doesn’t drain you if you’re doing it for extended periods of time. Often that’s where you can find what’s truly important to you and your inherent skills are. Go from there. Let yourself be inspired. Those could be technical or entirely apart from what you’re currently doing.

When you start looking into unconventional jobs, you’ll be astonished what kind of work exists within reach.
It often just looks like it isn’t because you’d have to leave your comfort zone to pursue them. That’s the issue with comfort zones: even if you feel like shit, it’s a familiar feeling. As humans, we tend to go with what we know, even if it leads to constantly feeling terrible. This way, we can at least make sense of what surrounds us. Going into the unknown is scary, sometimes it feels like mortal danger.

If you can afford it, take a sabbatical to clear your head. If you have a partner, talk to them about what you’re going through.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Affirmative action policies mechanically have this consequence. Asians have the highest test scores (among the racial groupings commonly used for AA policies), and affirmative action policies effectively z-score test scores by racial group for the purpose of admittance. The effect I described is a mechanical consequence of these two facts, it doesn't require any further assumption.

> Rust is arguably less safe in that aspect than C, due to the general Rust practice of panicking upon unexpected conditions

For context, this is OP's sentence that I responded to in particular. Ensuring safety [1] is way less trivial than looking for a call to "panic" in the state machine. You can remove the calls to "panic" and this alone does not make your program safer than the equivalent C code. It just makes it more kernel friendly.

> Noncausal mechanisms, including socioeconomic status and reverse causation bias, have been proposed as contributors to the KIHD findings (Kivimaki et al., 2015). Although differences in socioeconomic status may influence sauna access and opportunities for use, the robust dose-dependent associations observed between sauna bathing and sudden cardiac death, coronary artery disease, and cardiovascular events in the KIHD studies are indicative of genuine inverse associations (Laukkanen et al., 2015a). Furthermore, the KIHD studies were conducted in Finland, where sauna use is deeply rooted in the culture, and saunas are readily accessible (Laukkanen et al., 2015a). Similarly, whereas reverse causation bias figures prominently in observational studies and is a valid concern when investigating links between cardiovascular disease and lifestyle, the KIHD findings were adjusted for potential biases, including lifestyle factors such as socioeconomic status, physical activity, and cardiorespiratory fitness (Laukkanen et al., 2015a).

> The Big Five are among the very few results in psychology that are usefully predictive

Predictive of what? Other test batteries within the field of psychometrics? I want personality traits to translate to actual behavior to consider them scientifically useful. And I want the predictive power to be greater then non-personality traits like religion, political affiliation, etc. Tell me of a research which demonstrates that convincingly. I certainly haven’t found it.

Other psychological fields have no problem doing this. For example neuroscience show a remarkable behavioral difference of people with specific brain damage, cognitive science shows similarly stark difference in behavior if e.g. some people have been primed with a similar stimuli, and even behavioral scientist can demonstrate that animals will behave radically differently after a certain behavior has been reinforced etc. You may call this pseudo-science, but what I call pseudo-science is when scientists make up new terms, operationally define them, and then validate them by correlating them with each other, without showing any use for these terms out side of their narrow field.
