Most surveys are not done with any such skill - they’re done to get the result desired.
Our immediate team doesn't have a TL or PM in our office unfortunately. If either of them were to bring it up, it would be obvious that someone complained.
No, it can't compete, because there will always be things that other software cannot do that _only_ Mathematica can. That's why sympy is a non-starter for many mathematicians and physicists

The only thing I can think of is somehow speeding up drug discovery or materials research by accelerating atomistic simulation. However that's so far from reality it's hard to tell whether it will actually be faster in practice. (Pretty much the first application people like Feynman had in mind too)

I’m now suspicious whenever someone has a stupid tool that the real purpose is to train some model with the input.
Multiple asserts are fine, multiple aspects in a single test are not. For example like a transaction test that checks if account balance is ok and if an user gets a notification. It boils down to a single responsibility, so when there are multiple aspects then it means that the class/interface should be refactored.

I completely agree about the features of brick and mortar banks. My complaint specifically is about letting the large chain banks dominate your view. For example, BoA seemingly has the gall to charge a monthly fee on a savings account.

I'm lucky to have a competitive market for local banks that hasn't (yet) been completely borgified, and I do keep an account / safe deposit box [0] at one and use them for many of the things you mentioned. If you don't have any independent banks around, there is the common advice to look for credit unions instead.

I actually do keep an account at BoA too. It's the only link to another account that would be a huge hassle change out. Their ATM network is nice, the automated cash deposit feature on their ATMs is one of the easier ways to get available funds into the banking system on short notice, and I can stand keeping the $2k minimum balance for now. But still, they've got to be kept on a short leash.

Mostly stop using so much plastic, probably. A lot of plastic (for instance plastic bottles) is being used under pressure from the industry. As long as Coca Cola used glass bottle, it was on them to collect, clean and reuse them. Now that they switched to plastic, it's everyone else's problem. Forbid plastic bottles, and that part of the problem will solve itself.
Cracking encryption is basically irrelevant as a quantum computing application. Post-quantum encryption algorithm development proceeds apace and the messaging is already "if you want this to still be encrypted 30 years from now, start using post-quantum encryption today." Anybody caught with their pants down the day quantum computers can actually crack 4096-bit RSA simply isn't serious about security.

I personally wish LinkedIn would STOP trying to be a social platform. Their UX changes make it feel more instagram-ish with engagements, impressions, etc. I also DO NOT want to have media feeds...it's a frigging professional network.

I have talked to several influential recruiters in my area, and they have all said that LinkedIn has a MASSIVE identity problem...in one hand they sell our data to recruiters and on the other hand they are trying to drive engagement with these gimmicky engagement products.

They seem desperate to grow revenue with all these wonky product launches. Whoever was responsible for the A/B testing on those products to gauge market adoption really should be reprimanded.

Guess MS is finally expecting some ROI from their expensive acquisition....
Thanks for the feedback and advice
I really doubt any western government could pull this off as either they or their population would balk at the cost if not the concept.
Recycling should be labelled what it can take. Locally only 1-3 are recyclable for me but theres no way to tell. Its not labelled on any recycling bin. Theres no information about this at the point of sale.

Please excuse my language but I fucking despise most bathroom sinks. What genius decided to make a super short tap that only extends 4cm from the back wall of the sink. What kind of child must you be to actually wash your hands in sinks like this? Most people are older than 4 and thus have larger hands.

It's nearly impossible for me to wash my hands in most bathroom sinks without punching the sink itself on accident just trying to get my hands in the water stream. I usually have to rinse one hand at a time, sideways just to have the tiniest amount of room
People are capable of deciding content is crap on their own, without an echo chamber leading them to that belief. I’ve looked at the facts, analyzed a lot of situations, and have come to the independent conclusion that bigotry is pretty unhelpful so I don’t want to see it (online or anywhere). I don’t have a responsibility to engage with it online, so I frequent online spaces that have a minimum of it.

> Doesn't the baseband processor exclusively handle the mobile communications?

Formerly, yes. But from 4G phones on, they rather communicate via DMA, i.e. the baseband part of the SoC has full access to the device's memory.

The same is largely true of asciidoc. There are cases where you do kind of need to understand asciidoc, but mostly for features where in markdown you have to reach for the escape hatch of inline html.
Yeah and tbh that's even the simple stuff. Those are widely needed, very common situations in practical mathematical/physical calculations. The thing that is really crazy is that the stuff that literally doesn't even exist in any other software, but is really necessary, such as in my case a full symbolic control systems library, is still absurdly complete.

That's why nothing can compete. Not only does Mathematica have an extremely complete implementation of common functionality, it even has an extremely complete implementation of very niche functionality. I don't think that the people who propose OSS solutions really appreciate this, probably because they aren't professional mathematicians/physicists
‘Not even enough money for food’: graduate students face cash crunch
The author somehow misses this obvious conclusion.
I’ve been to the bars in McMurdo (coffee house has the best vibe by far of the official bars), and Vernadsky. Vernadsky is a characterful place - the bar was built by the Brits in the 80’s out of a shipment of lumber that was intended for a new pier, and the Ukrainians turn a significant portion of their potato rations into rather stonking zamagonka - the kind that has you deciding to go frolic with the penguins and then jump in the banya - and at the time, speaking crappy Russian and having a shared interest in gravity waves with a couple of the guys there was enough to make fast friends and the moonshine flow freely.

I only spent a few days at/around Vernadsky, but the guys there were ridiculously hospitable - it probably helped that we were the first new faces they’d seen in a month.

Vernadsky is much easier to get to than McMurdo, there are some vessels which go there from Ushuaia on 3 or 4 day trips to the peninsula - McM, you’ve either gotta go with NSF or a contractor, or find a tourist boat that goes there - although the latter is a “once every five years” type affair, and I’m not sure anyone is going there at the moment. Or of course you can take your own boat/charter, but most of the year you’ll also need a helicopter to get to shore at McM - the sound is iced over most of the time.
There are youtube videos that take this to an amazing level. People are converting PET bottles into filament and 3D printing all the things.

A 1 kilo spool of PETG filament costs around $20. If the process of turning bottles into filaments becomes cheap and easy enough, much larger scale home recycling could become a thing.

> To be honest, I don't understand what "they develop faster" means either.

Maybe there’s a better way of phrasing it, but I mean the rate of change is faster when you’re younger.

A 10yo will have very different preferences, life experiences, brain development, etc. compared to a 20yo (10y apart). Yet a 30yo and a 40yo (also 10y apart) will be fairly similar in these categories on average.

Because at 10yo the body and brain are changing more rapidly than they would be at middle age.

So if you were doing any kind of marketing or social science report based primarily on age, you’d typically want narrower age bands at lower age ranges and higher age bands at middle and older ages in order to create the most homogeneous groups.
Interesting. Our (Rails) codebase is around 25,000 tests and less than half have a single assertion. Personally, there's some calculus in my head when I'm writing a test that determines if/when the scenario I'm testing needs multiple assertions.

Echo chambers in the real world are called cults. They tend to get more extreme by cutting people off from outside voices and only communicating among themselves, until they get ready for the space ship that's supposed to take them to paradise and hand out the Kool Aid.

Echo chambers are where development dies. You won't be challenged, you won't discover new thoughts, you'll remain stagnant. I'm sure it's more stable, but it's the stability of a stone age tribe being left behind while the rest of the world advances.
LinkedIn has already become social media. There’s constantly instagram-ish photos near some text related to some tech, marketing or sales.

It took a long time for you to get around to it, but was the reason your comments keep getting moderated because you show up in every gender / transgender thread dropping links and "just asking questions"?

More important than the content of speech in social media moderation is the behavior. You demonstrate bad behavior here.
grug miss big brain benefit for types. Grug says the main benefit is auto completion, I think the real benefit is to making code changes.

If I update a type, the compiler will tell me every single location where I need to make a corresponding code change. For grug: change type give red squiggle, make change code good

Also, grug makes a good point about the temptations of generics, but I think they’re exaggerating the impact to the speed of development.

She's not wrong, but there's at least some precedent for advertisers injecting saner editorial policies in online plateforms. The events known as the YouTube ad-pocalypse brought a lot of changes to the way YouTube and Google handled misinformation, vitriolic content, etc.

The government version of this (outright censorship) and the govt-lite version of this (repeal of section 230 and other safe harbor mechanisms) are stronger but would curb speech a lot more.

Speaking of, it'll be interesting to hear what Twitter's new take on section 230 is now. It used to be that some conservatives favored repealing it as a means of pressure on an ecosystem that they viewed as unfair to their views.
Yes, how do I do that when every damn thing at every damn store is wrapped in plastic? Sometimes two to three times (the package is plastic wrapped, and each item is also wrapped in plastic)? Food, goods, boxes even wrapped in plastic...

We need to change the behaviour of companies wrapping everything in plastic. I do not see that happening soon, and am not sure how to encourage them to do so (plastic is so cheap).
That's cool, is it mandated by law or did it just work out as more economical?

Nice framework. Also once you allow more than one assertion, there is no need for top-level && in assertions (making them simpler tests).
> Nazism and Fascism both were self-avowedly anti-capitalist Ideologies. Insofar as neither cared for peace nor for property rights, this self-assessment must be judged entirely correct.

This is just refuting historical truth without providing any evidence. It doesn't matter that Hitler used a kind of anticapitalis rethoric before getting in power. What happened once he did, is that the capitalist of the country got cheap and obedient labor force provided by the nazist police. They got rich out the war and the extermination of Jews as well.

> Hence not capitalist. I argue for voluntary exchange and your counter-argument is "thugs, murderers and slave drivers existed, therefore capitalism bad"?

No, not really. You argue for the possibility of becoming wealthy. I tell you that I don't think a right to become wealthier than others should exist, nor that people being wealthy is a guaranteed benefit for society, as shown in my examples.

You also keep mixing capitalism and voluntary exchange, and again as I've proven you those are not necessarily linked. I restate this, capitalists thrived during nazi germany due to the subjugation of the labor force.

> As long as there is sufficient wealth, people will be cared for.

This has been disproven time and time again, you're ignoring the matter of wealth inequality. The existence of wealth improves the general life conditions of the people only if such wealth is properly distributed. All the reductions in poverty we've seen in recent times are due to the conquests of the social movements, taking from the wealthy things like healthcare, retirement, decent working hours, safety on the job, unemployment benefits, public education, etc.

The island of plastic seems like a different problem.

Why is it better to have two email types, VerifiedEmail and UnverifiedEmail vs. one Email type with an "isVerified" field?

One type is probably going to align with storage and transport better, and you probably mostly want to treat verified and unverified email addresses the same except for some very specific situations. (E.g., maybe only your EmailBlaster cares, where it's like a privilege: some can send to unverified emails and some can't.)

This seems like a bad for types to me.

(It's all code you write and data you design -- types are just one tool... you need to think about they best tool, not get fixated on one, no matter nice it is.)
"I’ve made it an indispensable part of my work"

And that's why Mathematica is indispensable to you—familiarity and use have made it indispensable.

The trouble is that it's a chicken and egg problem, with the program being so expensive many won't have access to it to try it—some of whom, if they'd had access, would have progressed to your situation.

A program like Mathematica only becomes indispensable to a person after he/she has had access to it for long enough to become familiar with its workings and for the person to actually benefit from the program's features—here that is to provide quick mathematical solutions to problems that would otherwise take a long time or require tedious workings out.

Thus, it's little wonder that so many are looking for cheaper alternatives—as they simply haven't developed the experience necessary to arrive at the same conclusion that you have.

It's unfortunate that's the situation exists and that there aren't more products capable of competing with Mathematica that have a similar UI experience and calculating granularities.
Cancer research needs better databases
The reason echo chambers are dangerous is precisely because of the lack of dissent. Imagine politics is little more than a math problem. The actual answer is 0, but one group insists the answer can't be any smaller than 43, and another group insists there's no way it can be large than -51.

Split these two groups off on their own, and they're just going to diverge more and more. Those in the bigger group will flaunt their in-group virtue by insisting on ever large numbers, and vice versa for those in the other group. They will diverge further and further from reality, but bring them together and the two sides help keep other in check.

Getting back to real history, the Nazis were never notably popular. Their best result in anything like a fair election was in 1932 where they took 37% of the vote [1]. They managed to get an enabling act passed by political maneuvering, not genuine popularity. At that point they created an artificial echo chamber, and the rest is history.

It constantly amazes me how much attention Hossenfelder, a simple research fellow, manages to attract.
I felt this way at some point when I worked at LANL. I specifically remember a training module that said it was not inclusive or respectful to require or insist that coworkers speak a specific language unless it impacted your job function. After all, they dont 'owe' you anything to make you feel comfortable in social settings. And even if they are talking about your project that doesnt mean they need your input..

On the other hand, when I worked at a small German startup our CEO would constantly remind our team to 'speak English for nc!' -- but usually only when he wanted to make sure I was aware, bolster their own skills to continue to expand internationally or when he thought I might be able to contribute. I appreciated that it did also make me feel awkward when I could tell that speaking English made it more challenging for them to convey ideas effectively.

I recommend Pimsleur language classes to get started and meet them in the middle.

I studied experimental condensed-matter physics and this article is spot on. The PIs at my university were holding clouds of rubidium atoms with laser tweezers at microkelvins in ultra-high vacuum, agitating them with a laser beam, and publishing papers saying "look it responds sort of like a qubit!"

If you have seen the kind of equipment required to perform these experiments, it's absolutely unimaginable that these concepts could be miniaturized enough that someone would be able to put them in a desktop size box, and to do so usefully and safely within a timeline that is competitive with the advancement of microelectronics.
