I think you would enjoy the work of Rodolfo Llinas, for example this interview:

http://thesciencenetwork.org/programs/the-science-studio/ent...

In the interview, he describes an experiment he did on himself. When he put a strong magnet on a certain spot on his head, his foot would turn outward. He was able to do this in a stable manner.

Then he repeated the experiment, but decided beforehand that he will turn his foot inward instead. When they did the experiment, his foot still turned outward. His assistant asked "what happened?" and Rodolfo Llinas said "I changed my mind". They repeated the experiment many times, and each time he changed his mind.

From this he concluded that he cannot differentiate when he decides to do something or when his body decides to do it, they both feel to him like he decided to do it.
This doesn't align with my experience writing software and applying maths to engineering problems. I am working a lot with statistics in my current role but if you asked me to take a stats test, I would almost certainly fail without references. Does this mean I am bad a stats? Perhaps? Does it matter? No.

> If you want to be creative the first step is to put the problem in your head so that you can actually ponder it. If you have to pour over references and look things up, then you're not in the game any more than you can play chess if you have to look up the rules as you play.

It seems like you are confusing the problems with the solutions. If you can understand the problem well enough, the solution will become obvious, even if you never took the math class--at least that's how it works for me. I do best when I have an actual real-world problem to solve, not a conceptual one created by an instructor.
I view it similarly to military, or construction. It's not the biases' fault, as many as there are, that men are overrepresented in these domains. I'd urge to address systemic issues, but the profile of representation is not necessarily a symptom of such an issue.

As for "deal with," I don't know what kind of answer you expect. You can only do so much to protect people from themselves. How to deal with people who can't drive a car safely?

It's curious to me why "the zone" or "flow" is always associated with particular expertise in skills like athletics or music or even programming when it could just as well be in walking, something 99.99% of the population are experts in. Maybe there was a point in forgotten infant/toddler memory overjoyed with being able to move from point to point subconciously, but now the bliss is replaced by sheer repetitve routine.

These languages were stable, well-specified, and heavily studied for years before these cases were found. One person noodling around for a few weeks failing to find an example is not evidence of anything; a language being too obscure to have seen much academic study is not an indicator that it's likely to have a good type system, if anything it's the opposite.

T isn't generic in that code, it's just a class.

I agree with everything you say!

Avoidance was not (with very few exceptions) a wiser medical choice.

If the effect on transmission had been zero (it wasn't zero, but it was lower than anyone would have liked), then it would absolutely have been their (unwise) choice to make. But it wasn't zero.

24% reduction in further transmission from the first dose of some of the vaccines, more powerful with more doses, less powerful with time. I'm not sure what threshold I'd use for making it mandatory in general, though I would still have a different threshold for doctors and nurses — even in an alternate reality where the available vaccines had zero effect on transmission while infected and the vaccines has been weaker and had more side effects, the healthcare systems in many nations were severely impacted and needed as many people as possible able to work.

The thing that we must remember is that evolution is not conscious.

It’s such a complex system that the functions of each part don’t fit the way we humans to talk about things.

We say “those are memories” but in the brain very few things are “one thing”. Almost always they work similarly to several things, interlinked in often seemingly random ways.

The way definitions work in the brain is similar to political parties; you might find one that you agree with in 70% of the time, but the other 30% is nonsense.

It could be that they are using the same circuit as memories except for a series of very subtle change in one specific part of the brain that makes them feel totally different from regular memories, similarly to how a little bit of salt can elevate one dish from regular to excellent.
>I think at one time there were women-only boarding houses that forbade male guests, at least there were in old movies, but that's about it.

These still exist in Japan: there's women-only apartment buildings where men are not allowed in at all (except maybe contractors). I think even delivery people aren't allowed in: they have to meet the resident outside. Women can be evicted if they bring a male guest or relative inside.

These are of course entirely voluntary; any woman who doesn't like this is free to just rent a normal apartment like anyone else, and there's plenty of those. I don't know if there's any price advantage to renting a women-only apartment.

>yet everything we actually need to survive is intact.

Unfortunately we now rely on our machines to survive. If they'd suddenly disappear, we'd have a bit of a massive problem. We just wouldn't do very well without our heavy agricultural machines, our food and fuel supply systems, our water pumps, our fertilizer plants, etc. We're not going to feed 7 billion people without machines anymore, so we'd better fix them fast or risk losing a lot of us.

This is actually what I’m asking. How do they measure your race? If you make the claim someone is driving under the influence, you have a defined blood alcohol level threshold and a way to test that. How do they do the same for race?
Because while tests arent perfect, then they are the best available method that is transparent/fair at scale

Thanks that is interesting. You're the third person to give me this feedback, but the first person to make specific suggestions which keys you expected to behave in which way, which is very helpful. Until now I wasn't sure which keys I should bind to which functionality. I take the other poster's comment into consideration and I think there could be a fun middle ground, where some keys do actual useful stuff (a bit like on GitHub) but it doesn't feel like I'm hijacking the default browser's behaviour.

You are fortunate to have worked in mostly good places! I have seen a lot of sales compensated on commission at contract close. It gets as dysfunctional as one would expect.

I still don't agree it's easier, though. If a customer stays, is it because they've received great support or because the salesperson found a good fit?

What I'm trying to say is "if sales get compensated when a customer sticks around, then so should everyone else supporting that customer".

Basically the only good incentive programme is profit sharing (or ownership) applied across the organisation.
This piece has some extreme assertions. That the US housing market is in bad shape is an extremely slanted statement. Housing prices being hugely inflated is causing huge damage to the poor and middle class, is greatly exacerbating inflation, and is caused in part by unsustainably low interest rates. Prices coming down is not merely a good thing but in fact essential.

Rising interest rates are as explained a desperate attempt to fight inflation. That this would force other banks to follow is inevitable. That the global transition off of radically low interest rates would eventually happen and be quite painful has long been known.

This makes no sense. I have never heard anyone say github was ugly and gitea pretty much replicates most of it.

It could be more singular/original but people using that kind of tools are looking to get the job done, not to use some fancy website. I'd rather have speed than anything else.

It is funny that on the same community people can blame an open source tool such as gimp for not being a straight copy of photoshop, then are not happy when another open source project is staight copu of a proprietary one.

> Since we have several decades of combined domain expertise inhouse

Honestly this sounds pretty much like a luxury and as far as I can tell pretty rare. Maybe it's a country thing but in the UK many tech companies seem to have a "product team" with a collective memory of no more than a few months leading every decision. We don't have any BA's or anyone that can get requirements from customers. Seems to just be "here is the feature we decided you need" and then they wonder why the customer doesn't like it...
But you are talking about retroactive license change.

This would be great for patent troll law firms.
And in what consent based jurisdictions are you required to sit down and have a conversation about what is going to happen?
This is obviously a super subjective question, but from my own personal experience I have had a lot of friends who actively refused a job or didn't apply somewhere because of a particular tech a company used (I won't name which but they are very common ones which people "dislike") and then on the other hand I also had developers reject an offer which I made when I was a hiring manager because of laptop/OS enforcement. I also know a lot of people who don't care at all, but it's not uncommon that someone doesn't take a job because they let's say would have to use Windows 11 when they have been developing on Linux for over a decade for example.
I don't think so. Even some mildly complex CRUD app cannot be done decently with no-code or other smarter code-generation tools. "Templated" software has already been productized where it's actually possibile (e.g. Shopify).
Bue let's even suppose such AI exists, then someone would need to instruct it, check and test its output (is it safe code? is it using a dismissed library? etc.).
At least I don't see it happening soon enough to be worried.

They didn't do it to improve NT Kernel or Solaris kernel or... you know it.

>on the sender's side, show a warning before sending that the image appears to be in bad taste

Quick feedback like this is what makes people figure out the system very fast, defeating the protection's purpose. It would work much better, if the warning only showed up on the receiver's side - maybe a blank image and the warning, a heavily blurred image and the warning, and a prompt if received would like it to view or not.
> For example, suppose it costs 50% extra to replace someone who leaves. In retrospect, sure, giving the sole employee who leaves a 10% raise each year to retain them makes sense. But if you have to give all of your employees a 10% raise per year, just to retain that one person, it doesn't make financial sense anymore.

Yeah, so basically this argument is realpolitik, machiavellianism, game theory -- things that work 9/10 years, bring in profits but have enormous hidden costs that ravage companies/economies/countries in that 1/10, 1/50, 1/100 years.

The argument is "be a dick as much as you can get away with, because people are sheep and being a dick is a virtue actually". Until a lot of people start being dicks, then we cry about the long lost art of not being dicks to eachother.
If you go to www.Photopea.com and press More - "Install Photopea", it will install the so-called "PWA". This allows starting Photopea with a homescreen icon, in a window without a browser UI. It also allows associating a website with certain extensions, so your system will "open files in a website". It should work on every device/OS/browser (in the long run). You can uninstall it in your browser under about://apps

In my opinion both the Democratic and Republican parties are so worthless that they are indistinguishable.

the idea is that sanctioning past behavior, which was legal at the time, is super extra bad (ie. no retroactive punishment), because then you can never be sure that the the ruling powers that be won't send law enforcement after you.

It surely does, RAII exists since Ada 95.

https://www.adaic.org/resources/add_content/docs/95style/htm...

You are not supposed to call Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation() directly, rather from Ada's version of "Drop".

Then SPARK allows for formal proofs that one actually does the right thing, integrated into the language as of Ada 2012.

The cherry on top of the cake is that the language is also getting affine types on top of the already battle tested features in 40 years of production deployment into high integrity systems.

87 sounds large

2022-10-25 17:03: CDN Release is rolled back in Atlanta and root cause is confirmed.
2022-10-25 17:28: Peak impact with approximately 5% of all HTTP requests resulting in an error with status code 530.
2022-10-25 17:38: An accelerated rollback continues with large data centers acting as Upper tier for many customers.
2022-10-25 18:04: Rollback is complete in all Upper Tiers.
2022-10-25 18:30: Rollback is complete.

But this seems like the 87 minutes referred to.

The 503 graph appears to show a steep drop between 17:38 and and 17:45, which looks like the "rollback" speed to me.

I think they likely drained many of the lower tier caches/pops/edges after which roll back speed doesn't matter very much since the machines being rolled back likely weren't servicing traffic.

> large data centers acting as Upper tier for many customers.

To me this sounds like a very awkwardly worded way to say "we shifted traffic".

Clarification on whether traffic was shifted or tiers were drained would be nice.
It's also possible that they suggested worse options just to get a bigger fee without looking more expensive than what you could find with a single search.

I think the best "cheap" travel agents nowadays would just do the job of searching for you for an explicit fee, and then just send you the links. This is generally useful when you have specific requests and not much time to find them.
