How do we know that the multiple sessions of general anesthetic isn’t doing the legwork against the depression? I read the article and there were very scant details.
And I have to enable showing them on every system I work with (and add -a to every ls command, and google which option enables incldues them in pattern expansion). That is annoying.
It's, like, simple in about 80-percentile-complexity case. But the rest 20% take 80% of the work (and re-architecturing). For example, 1xx responses break 1-1 correspondence between requests and responses. Then an "Upgrade" header may mean you need to turn a connection into a dumb byte pipe, ditto for "CONNECT" requests. Then there is a whole business of end-to-end vs. by-hop headers: some of the latter ones will be listed in the "Connection" header (did you know that that is its original purpose, and "close" option is but a hack?) but some of the headers are always hop-by-hop and the proxy is expected to filter them even if they're not listed in "Connection" header — but of course the comprehensive list of such by-hop headers doesn't exist. Then there is pipelining. And handling HTTP/1.0 clients (yep, one of the reasons why OP has "IT'S SET TO HTTP/1.1 AND NOTHING ELSE" in his article) who by their nature cannot support replies in "chunked" transfer-encoding. And handling POST bodies in "chunked" transfer-encoding. And handling trailers if you did not cut "Expect: trailers" in the client's request. And there may be comments in "chunked" encoding. And... multiline headers?.. The list goes on and on.

And a decent HTTP-proxy must handle all of that stuff or at least fail gracefully without affecting other clients.

Wow, I was not aware of I3C being a thing, thanks for digging that up and making it visible! It looks like [1] it's from 2016 but I hadn't heard of it. I spend too little time in that part of the embedded world, it seems. From my quick reading it pushes the maximum data rate up from 5 Mbps to 25 by using various tricks, pretty cool. In my more sedate embedded world, I2C tops out at 400 kbps, old-school style. :)

Also, completely agreed that this board management controller is massively (over)speced, it's really very capable. Of course the flip side of that is worrying about abuse ("with great power ...").
Communication is pretty much the most important part of the process of building software at scale. Meetings are a simple way of having that communication quickly. Without communication (eg meetings) most software would fail to ship, largely because the developers would never stop working on it long enough to push it over the line.
Go to a psychiatrist and try ask for ketamine. It has the same effect of detaching you from trauma. It’s like putting your brain through a car wash.

the big question this raises is: how will this affect self publishing and the need for an actual publisher.

i expect that publishers are able to avoid publishing junk like this and therefore are still able to offer some value. whereas self-publishing authors will have to fight to stand out on their own.
as someone who did (and still does) a lot of Haskell, and actually loves it, seeing http4s reminded me less of Yesod and more of Servant: really high flexibility, advanced type level magic, and a fairly steep learning curve - especially so if you're not accustomed to advanced typed functional programming.

This is not what an oxymoron is (that would be something like individualist community). There is no direct contradiction between individualism and our social aspect, we have always been social and we invented societies and institutions to make space for individual freedom. When these institutions and societies collapse the individual swallowed by larger structures.
People have these kinds of simplistic notions and then argue against pulic spaces, but those are required for individualism to be possible in the first place and once they are privatized and accepted there will be no individuals just googlers/metaers/amazoners people subsumed into a larger hierarchical community (neofeudalism).
I like that we're preserving dying languages by maintaining the ability to understand and translate them as archives of humanity on Earth's past, but I'm hoping in the next century or two language attrition will whittle all the world's languages down to just a handful.

The day every person on Earth speaks some shared common language (ideally one so straightforward that it can be learned by children within a year or so) will be a day I'd celebrate as a monumental milestone in the development of our species.

It's fine if people know other languages too, but having that shared global one is vital.

I'm happy to lose innumerable untranslatable phrases and cultural understandings in service of this.
John McPhee takes a different approach. Whilst he cautions against over-reliance on the thesaurus, he's a full-throated advocate of a good dictionary:

In the search for words, thesauruses are useful things, but they don’t talk about the words they list. They are also dangerous. They can lead you to choose a polysyllabic and fuzzy word when a simple and clear one is better. The value of a thesaurus is not to make a writer seem to have a vast vocabulary of recondite words. The value of a thesaurus is in the assistance it can give you in finding the best possible word for the mission that the word is supposed to fulfill. Writing teachers and journalism courses have been known to compare them to crutches and to imply that no writer of any character or competence would use them. At best, thesauruses are mere rest stops in the search for the mot juste. Your destination is the dictionary. Suppose you sense an opportunity beyond the word “intention.” You read the dictionary’s thesaurian list of synonyms: “intention, intent, purpose, design, aim, end, object, objective, goal.” But the dictionary doesn’t let it go at that. It goes on to tell you the differences all the way down the line—how each listed word differs from all the others.

The point remains: to get the words right.
Corporate profits have contributed disproportionately to inflation
They came up with the function,

Maybe I was being a bit melodramatic. More realistically, a lot of people hate their job and exist somewhere on a spectrum between accepting it and trying to change it. I just happen to be biased toward making more radical changes when things aren't motivating me.

That Jon Blow comment resonates with me a lot. Definitely saved for future reference.
I asked in part because I don't have an internal monologue. I was quite surprised to learn that many other people have one and people who do usually seem surprised that monologueless people can think at all.

So, The idea of thinking without directly using language is less foreign to me than many. Nevertheless, I'll still sometimes use 'words' internally to reason things through which are too complex to solve intuitively, or when enacting a procedure I learned from someone else.

It's not clear to me that the engrams you imagine wouldn't just be a symbolic language under another name. I suppose if they were continuous in some vast highly dimensional space ... but even then one could discretize them at the resolution of distinguishable ideas and it's a symbolic language again. :)

> Also, the "bugs evolve away" would need evolutionary pressure being involved

I do not claim that evolution is the reason for the reduction in dead bugs, but if "go near road" has a increased risk of death due to automobiles, there absolutely is selective pressure to not "go near road". Bugs that get killed by cars don't procreate (again) after all.
With snails I suspect its more to do with how a child behaves and an adult.

I collect snails from my garden to eat and numbers are fairly similar despite my occasionally trying to control them with pellets some years.

Similarly with the original article I only got half way down but clearly it's more to do with cars than insect numbers.
I did check my spam folder and it didn't get any messages. But now, the third email got instantly delivered, into the spam folder (hosted by Fastmail), and I marked them as Not Junk.

Some more question/feedback:

- Is it a design decision that the commissions are high? I got 13 cents per share (on a stock priced at 49.89). I would expect more like 0.35 cents per share. I suppose that is forcing more long-term holding...

- I already find my trading in this website is not representative of my positions held in my actual portfolio. It's a lot less well balanced.

- I could trade when the market's closed -- at 3:10 AM ET. But S&P, Dow, Nasdaq, and Russell 2000 futures are running overnight. So that opens up a possible arbitrage. There is a similar one on individual stocks for any after-extended-hours news -- such as selling TWTR before pre-market hours on Friday (Oct 21).

- When I search for "BA" in the ticker lookup, the option "The Boeing Company - BA" was way down the list. The search box should prioritize exact match ticker lookups over company name lookups.

I do have some things I do to help me sleep, one I learned from a veteran, it helps in certain scenarios, but I'm also not in the military so I don't actually need to be that regimented.

There certainly can be a woe is me attitude attached to it, but many people aren't feeling like victims, me included, they're just telling you what they prefer and how they'd rather set up their life. I prefer not to be so laser focused on regimented sleep as I find it's just not useful. For my job it doesn't matter if I'm there at 9 on the dot, but it does matter if I have my wits about me, so I need to make sure I get enough sleep rather than sleep at the right time.

Makes sense, I suppose. The reviewers of the book in question might then have read the part about chemotherapy “NFPs” and thought that the section is probably accurate and they just didn’t understand it, so they moved on. Which is alarming enough by itself.
Should Target make sure their products are what they claim to be? If the book was subpar, oh well. If the book is loren ipsum [0], then that's fraud and should be followed up on. But people love Amazon so they can do whatever they want.

Going into full tinfoil hat territory: I wonder whether those products are the equivalent of the 'deliberate' spelling and grammatical errors we're all told end up in spam emails to pre-filter out people who probably won't fall for the scam. Amazon doesn't want customers who care about quality, because they leave bad reviews and have a higher return rate.

> To prevent accidental deletion you can show an icon with a skull and crossbones

This will make users more likely to delete it thinking it's a virus.

Big assumption that most people know what an operating system is.
A year sounds extreme for being net negative, but I have a somewhat similar experience in a mixed hardware/software company. There's so much domain-specific knowledge that takes most people a long time to ramp up in. You haven't truly arrived unless you've ramped up and seen a full product cycle. That takes years, because hardware is slow to iterate.
Interesting read.

Seems a bit odd to use python at all if one cares about this level of speed optimisation?
Fireflies for me. I live in Italy and between the vineyards it was full of them. Now I occasionally see one or two. It's a pity not only because it is a concrete sign of habitat degradation, but it was also mesmerizing to walk and have them filing around you. Something my kids won't experience.
> "Attention is easy to convert into money in today's economy. Math skills, less so."

This is an interesting point. I have no hard-facts based counter-argument to offer, so it might be true but I have my doubts.

I believe that in the attention economy only the most popular of the popular are doing well and only a tiny fraction of them does extremely well.

If you are good at math you can certainly have a good life without being in the top percentile.

Also money is trivially convertible into attention, the other way around is hard work.
I really like this, nice work! Only thing missing for me is police sirens with flashing lights chasing me, on coming traffic, and Limp Bizkit and Bush playing in the background.

Math. Not a die hard math fan but I think it can be beautiful and interesting. Saddens me to see soooo many people hate it.

Probably discrete math or introductory calculus.
The TUI is from gdb.[1] Nothing from GDB is compiled in your binary. My guess (might be wrong!) is that the ShowCrashReports() call added in your program's main function sets up some signal handlers, so that in case of segfaults it starts GDB in a separate process and attaches it to your crashing process.

You can actually buy "Passive DNS" records. Big DNS providers collect all the answers they learned while serving, deliberately without recording who asked and the answers are aggregated and available for purchase.

So if Sarah in accounts once went to secret-webserver.internal.example.com from her laptop at home before turning on the VPN by mistake, her upstream DNS provider will tell any attackers with some $$$ that secret-webserver.internal.example.com existed, when it existed, what the A or AAAA records said and so on.

Targeted attacks will know about secret-webserver.internal.example.com even though only *.internal.example.com is listed in the CT logs.

Since the objective of learning switched from acquiring knowledge and build competencies to cather to emotional needs of different groups, and since when every participant gets a prize no matter what he/she does to not make him/her being left behind, I am not surprised at all of the outcome.

Since the western society does not want to change the way learning is done, the path will lead us downwards.

The only chance as a parent to build a better future for your own child is to fight the system and help the child learn.

The decline in learning is yet another example of politics ruining things that work in the society.
The short explanation is insecticides: microtoxins to break the fertility of insects for higher crop yields. These same substances also affect humans, albeit on a different level: slightly lower intelligence because mothers are exposed to these substances and they transfer them to the womb, and they also decrease male fertility.

Children of hairdressers or farmers have slightly lower IQ (controlled for all other variables) than others because the mothers are exposed to similar substances.
From the video, it is $2500 for a 25,000 word book, written in 25 days. That is $100 per day writing 1000 words per day. If this takes you 8 hours per day, that is $12.50 per hour. If you can do this every month, that is $30,000 per year. A comfortable wage for some people, and poverty wages for others. It also seems like a difficult pace to research a topic and write 1000 words per day, and seems like miserable work.
They are probably referring to some kind of large-scale environmental contamination, but as far as I'm aware it's quite difficult to make any of these theories fit with the timeline of international historical trends.
Typically the differences in rates and magnitudes are apparent across borders and thus would more easily be explained with cultural factors rather than an environmental contaminant that is (largely) agnostic to cultural effects.

How TikTok’s Algorithm Pushes the Boundaries
Couldn't agree more. Also, the worst fucking docs of all time come out of consulting teams where like 8 people have a superficial understanding of the system and are all trying to collaboratively document everything. They just produce reams of unstructured nonsense that has no actual value whatsoever.

99% of the teams that think they have some decent bus factor actually just have bus factor 0 and survive by lighting piles of money on fire with an army of 0.01xers with high turnover and no chance for anyone to ramp.

It's not possible. Everything he's censored is getting reposted on social media faster than he can order censorship. Unless he goes full tyrant and blocks communications, he can't stop any of it.

> IRRC both of them cannot compare to psychotherapy,

The whole point of this, and numerous other articles is that this statement is objectively false.

If you have treatment resistant depression, PTSD, etc that treatment includes therapy.

Which is why ketamine and ECT are being investigated - for plenty of people these treatments have resolved things such that they do not need medical or therapy based treatment.

> which has far higher effectiveness at the cost of far more resources.

I'm guessing this is a typo, but given the cost of 1+ hours a week at easily $100-200/hr, for years - often without any limit at all - I'd be curious what the total cost is. This is especially important in this case as ECT, ketamine, etc treatments are _required_ to demonstrate efficacy, whereas psychotherapy has no such requirements.

There's been plenty of research over the years that has found pretty underwhelming outcomes from therapy based treatment outside of specific areas - more extreme are the therapy group/out-patient scams which have been shown very clearly to only work for groups of people with exactly the same trauma, and even then, only specific types of trauma.

It's a real problem in mental health treatment that only treatments that require the use of drugs and/or "surgical" procedure are required to provide evidence that they actually work.
You know the old saying: there's a sucker born every minute.
I suppose that is just another way of expressing my point; comparing hardware on a like-for-like basis, on-prem is cheaper. Once you factor in the hiring cost and adjust for the availability of those skills (since that is never truly reflected in the salary, in my experience) - then cloud becomes "cheaper" not in money but in opportunity-cost and reduced staffing-related business risk.
That's definitely on the roadmap. I'd love it to also work in the terminal, but AFAIK terminal screen readers will just scrape the terminal. What we need is an API to interactive with.
What gets me is; if this was a money making opportunity, and it truly is as simple as they make it out to be, aren’t they literally creating their own competitors in this space by revealing their secret? I’m sure the argument is something like “the market is so vast, that helping others do the same won’t affect my income stream”, but that suggests The correct answer is to scale up, not populate the landscape with completion.
