Sociopaths: Olenna Tyrell, Varys, Cersei Lannister, Bran Stark, post-Braavos Arya Stark

The non-Lannister Sociopaths are in many ways more interesting, because they are more subtle about their will to power and hence more effective. Bran in particular - with his Greensight and warging abilities, he has the ability to influence events basically at will, but he's also physically crippled and dependent upon others for action. And note that when asked if he would accept the crown (not take it), he simply says "Why do you think I came all this way?".
The problem of SAT is that it's too easy, or at least too easy to be gamed by tutoring. That is, family with means can really improve their kids' scores by throwing money. Make SAT as challenging as India's JEE or those national entrance exams in East Asian countries, and we will see that tutoring hardly will matter in large scale but teacher's quality will do.

I think it fairly clearly made a case that in transporting people for slavery we stripped them of a lot of cultural identity, and now a lot of their identity is the lack of a prior one and their prior treatment in our nation, while white people often have other cultural identities and history to fall back on.

Whether you agree with that or not is one thing, but I'm not sure why you're ignoring it.

They were probably used because the Inca needed to sacrifice for religion but they were still humane. We're talking about people, not very different or separated in time from you and I, but with different religious practices.

It only takes a little distance to see that religious practices elsewhere lead to death even today, and one would hope that those would not be painful deaths.

> they fear nuclear war far less than a Russian victory. They support Ukraine despite Russian threats. Ask yourself why that is

Ignoring the obviously devastation to Ukraine, isn't there a scenario where Russia winning is the safest outcome for Europe and the rest of the world? Especially now that they've been worn down so much by the conflict.
I want to inquire something that I feel only I have this problem: it takes me forever to make anything with code. Like hours to do something simple. I don't get distract that much, but coding is difficult and I've come to appreciate those who can code faster than me. First of all, I spend a bunch of time looking up the best way to write something. That means stackoverflow, searching for libraries, etc. Then, I would write with the debugger on. Making sure what I wrote works, one baby step at a time. I never write the whole thing in one shot like so many other programmers do. They just write pages and pages of code without ever running it, they just know its going to work (for the most part). Thoughts? How do you make progress in programming?
Worth it, no matter the age.
Capitalizing "Black" but not "white" seems arguably reasonable for the same reason we have a "Black History Month" but no "White History Month".

We don't have a "White History Month" because white history is the default in the US. In a sense every month is a white history month here. Note that we do have months for some subsets of white, e.g., Irish-American Heritage Month (March).

Same for why we have LGBT Pride month but no straight pride month. Straight is the default.
It does induce real-time physiological changes the way a meditative monk can walk on needles while balancing themselves. So I don't think anaesthesia has anything to do with the memory-aspect of forgetting.

This sounds more like middle management to me. The true Sociopaths in the places I’ve worked (I’m thinking SVP to C-level) are in the hundreds of millions net worth or on track to get there.

EDIT: as I write this, I realize most of the places I’ve worked are huge, powerful companies and might not be representative. But the first company I worked at was worth less than a billion dollars, and I think the CEO might have been the only real Sociopath in the room.

I think it’s more a situation of getting shot and then giving up rather than crawling to cover, wrapping a tourniquet and and calling for aid. I’d imagine the shock of being hit by a bullet could be confused for disorientation due to blood loss, even if little blood has been lost yet.

We live in a system which is basically designed to encourage chasing profit over all other considerations, with a complex web of regulations which supposedly attempt to restrain some of the worst consequences, or at least the consequences that the voting public may make a fuss over.

People are fickle though, voting for politicians who promote small government, low taxes, and economic inequality, then complaining about things like price-gouging during disasters (which is basically economics 101 in a free market, supply and demand curves), or monopolists setting their prices to maximize their profits (also found in economics 101), or wanting safe food and buildings or better newspapers.
> But people don't want to pay for news

I don’t know that that is actually true. I know that for me, I’m not interested in paying for:

- The daily homicide report

- 3 minutes of news per half hour, mixed in with 19 minutes of “stories” that are paid placement for products, movies, recording artists, etc., followed by 8 minutes of advertisements, mostly for medications I don’t need for some reason

- Weak interviews and reporting that ignores very obvious lies from the people being reported on with absolutely no mention of that fact

- Both-siding a story where one side has clear facts and the other side is quite possibly literally crazy, or at the very least being obviously heavily manipulated by special interests and that’s not mentioned at all

- Reporting on what someone tweeted, especially with no indication that what was tweeted is known to be bogus or unconfirmed

I do happily give to PBS and NPR because they have reasonable coverage of most news, but over the last 5 years, even they have been sucked into the sensationalism and reporting on tweets that regular news outlets have fallen victim to. They’re still miles better, but it’s a low bar to begin with.
My favorite approach is Zustand, which is a simplistic object with data and functions to update that data, combined with react-query for doing a lot of the data fetching. Zustand is super simple and based around hooks, and I find that with a data fetching library that handles caching, I have a lot less “global” state than in the past. IMO for even relatively complex apps, having a ton of global state is not great, and breaking things down into specific contexts that are each separate hooks is great. I think Redux’s Toolkit or whatever it’s called works similarly.
Actual leftist here. There is nothing even vaguely left-leaning about any of the organizations mentioned. There is, however, the minor issue of political expedience driving a wedge between right-wing politicians and observable reality. Demand better from your people.
The reason memory access can block is because it can cause the page fault handler to be invoked (https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand...). There are many reasons the page fault handler might cause the process to block. The kernel made need to swap the page in from disk, or it might be a copy-on-write page that was just written to.

To copy the page, the kernel needs to first find a free page frame. If there are no free page frames, the kernel will attempt to reclaim pages that are in use (https://www.kernel.org/doc/gorman/html/understand/understand...). This may cause in process-mapped pages being swapped to disk, but it also may result in disk writeback activity (https://lwn.net/Articles/396561/). In either case, control cannot be returned to the process until there is a free page to map into the process.
It’s weird that Americans don’t realize that money is the mission. Why do they not think holistically about these things?
Well it could matter, in this hypothetical case where the public is directly funding journalists, because the public is not homogenous. I think there is a possible world where an ecosystem of journalism could develop.

So yes, each individual would be beholden to their audience. But it would be much healthier than everyone being beholden to the much smaller collection of groups who pull the strings of influence in our present situation.
I dunno that isolationism is going to produce better outcomes. I think we should demand transparency and control over our data, and offer the same in return. Refusing to exchange software seems liable to chill economic and diplomatic relations, and result in us all creating our own Great Firewalls.

We were able to negotiate the reduction of nuclear capabilities during the height of the cold war. I don't see why we couldn't negotiate the reduction of cyber capabilities now, were we to make it a priority. Certainly seems worth a try, if the alternative is destroying the internet as an international commons.
When I had to work with Heroku, I found that it had many of its own specific eccentricities.

And to do the setup of a bare metal web service was not much more to know.

This is especially true looking at prebaked stuff like what digital ocean offers. You can use their Django image and the entire thing is ready to go.

Ultimately, docker and docker orchestrations are fairly standard devops skills at this point.

I think these paas solutions take devs who might otherwise bite the bullet and learn how to work with these in the wrong direction.

A bit of a tangent, but since we're discussing NPR...

I remember a while back (maybe 10 years?) NPR spent some airtime trying to address head-on their alleged liberal bias. I respect that, I think their effort was sincere.

What left me frustrated, though, was they never addressed what I saw as their main vector of bias: they seemed to broadcast many more interviews with people unhappy about conservative policies, than people happy with conservative policies.

E.g., illegal immigration was a hot topic at the time. NPR provided a lot of sympathetic interviews with illegal immigrants, both adults and children. I don't think I heard even one NPR interview with individuals in other groups, e.g. construction companies that get out-bid by competitors who pay illegal immigrants under the table, or would-be immigrants who are awaiting their turn to legally enter the U.S.

Again, I don't doubt the integrity of Bob Edwards and other NPR staff who tackled that project. But I think it shows how hard it can be for liberals to accurately understand conservative perspectives.

Genuinely just google whatever effect you want with “pure data”. E.g. “delay patch pure data” and you’ll find lots and lots of resources. If you want something deeper look for more generalized DSP tutorials in PD
Last I looked, it was a 256KB rom requirement, and worth noting that the 16KB ram is just the interpreter. Your code adds on top of that.

The current media gives you facts. They just present them in specific ways or downplay or omit other facts.

Getting all the facts is as bad as getting no facts, because we aren't capable of paraing then all. Curation of facts is what these companies do, and how they curate them is how they express their bias.

News companies aren't lying (even if some pundits do). They just present facts in ways to support the narrative they want. It is impossible to relay facts without doing so, but how objective they are and how much vias is injected is variable.
That term has been used as far back as the 60s, based on my personal library.

I’ve found that pull request size solves a lot of the issues that people have with code reviews and quality. When people see a very large pull request, there is a tendency to skim and then slap on an Approval. Keeping pull requests small typically leads to a more thorough review because it’s much easier to parse the changes and build a mental model. This usually leads to better feedback. This also helps prevent less experienced devs from going crazy down the rabbit hole and making a huge code change. Small and steady is best, and fostering a culture where people are often asking each other questions and collaborating is key.

That needs a huge asterix. You are using a big generalization with a lot of examples to the contrary.

Pretty much this.

I remember having a paper route when I was 10 years old. Yeah, not the same thing as a factory line job, but I wanted the job for extra money.

If these kids were forced to work, that's horrible, fine the company, punish them hard.

But if these were kids working a few 4 hour shifts a week because their parents worked there, then that's entirely different. Not legal, but not the same as exploiting some youngster against their will.
>Would you study for an IQ test?

I'd study for any test that was consequential to my future.

>Maybe it doesn't occur to students that they should attempt to increase their score

In my opinion, if it doesn't occur to someone that they can better their score on any test by studying, then they aren't ready for college. Studying isn't some sort of arcane concept available only to the privileged few.

>Reminder: you are responding to a commenter who is telling you that an offhand comment literally changed their life.

This is Hacker News, not a struggle session. It isn't disrespectful to tell people they aren't equipped and/or ready for higher education. It is one thing to argue that some people don't have the resources to access study courses, materials or have the free time to do so (due to work requirements or living conditions), it is entirely another thing to suggest that it would never occur to a college candidate that studying for a test would improve their chances of doing well.

>because they have a certain innocent model of the world, perhaps one in which they put trust in educational institutions to (as they claim to do) tell them how they should best achieve personal success. If it were a valuable use of their time, surely someone would tell them?

Perhaps this comment will inform some potential college-bound student, who has otherwise had their life crippled by a childlike dependence on whatever information (or lack thereof) was spoon-fed to them by incompetent school authorities, that studying will help increase their test scores. That would be a win-win!

I could see Bluetooth being useful if the keyboard allows for easily switching between devices: your significant other texts you on the phone, so you quickly switch it to your phone to type out a message, then switch back. (I don't know if this keyboard can do that though.)

I bought a wireless Microsoft ergonomic keyboard a decade ago, with the idea that I could kickback in my chair, with my feet on the desk, and type away with the keyboard in my lap. I've done that maybe five times in the ten years of owning the keyboard. It was not worth the dropped/overly-repeated keypresses over the years (though it was wireless, but not Bluetooth).

I'm looking forward to getting my glove80 in the next month or two, which supports multiple devices via Bluetooth or one device via USB.
These chips have neither USB nor Ethernet interfaces.

They get to “$0.10” (not for you it won’t be) by trimming off the peripherals.

GPA is utter horse hockey, at least in the high schools I grew up around. Grade inflation is so rampant in some schools that 80+% of students have an A or better average. Our valedictorian took classes like "Honors Ag[riculture]" that were trivial, but were graded on a 110 point scale. She also cried to the teacher in front of the class after every single assignment she made less than an A+ on and sent her mom in to cry if that didn't work. IMO GPA is one of the most hackable metrics and should play absolutely no part in college admissions.
License terms set the legal expectations. Explanations of those terms from the author set the ethical expectations, which are different.
I disagree. I saw a huge change when Clinton passed the baton to George W. Bush. For the last 2 years of Clinton’s presidency, the press (all of it, CNN, NBC, Fox, etc.) were reporting daily on the various scandals in the White House. They seemed to be asking hard-hitting questions all around and being very skeptical of the answers. Literally the first weeks of Bush’s presidency, it was like all of that went out the window and they just started accepting whatever his cabinet told them. It was like stepping into Bizarro land. Even the supposedly liberal outlets felt like they just gave up. It was so strange.
That clip should be quite the wake-up call for those who are ignorant of how far the Republican party has veered right today. Those two candidates, Bush and Reagan, would be Democrats today.

In America, Black people as a whole are a distinct cultural group with their own foods, words, holidays, mannerisms, and media. The are in the special case where they don't identify with their ancestral lands because all culture pertaining to that was forcibly stripped away.

White people, at least in America, aren't a group with shared culture. The only thing that really unites them is the color of their skin. White people also tend to have an actual ancestral culture they identify with highly-- usually the culture of a European country their predecessors emigrated from. And as far as I know the vast majority of them don't want to identify as 'white', as they value their ancestral culture more.
I agree on both counts; preferring the Geiss plugin and that milkdrop gets all the attention.

Geiss felt a lot closer to the actual music being played, the patterns and movement were much more viscerally associated with the music from which it was being generated.

Having said that, there are some absolutely beautiful visualisations in milkdrop and ProjectM.

Edited to add: milkdrop is Geiss plus other things. Like the modern internet is the old internet plus other things. I think I might be "old man golden-aging" about Geiss. I think I just need to spend time tuning Milkdrop / ProjectM to my preferences (basically turn off the patterns I don't like). I don't have the time like I used to :/
