How to Use the iPad for Study and Deep Learning
Coding is pretty straightforwardly a craft - something that is done for use value but allows for artistic expression and a convergence of form and function. It isn't art.

However, I disagree that aiming to get enjoyment out of a coding job is necessarily a mistake. But it does often have to be weighed against competing factors like ease of getting a job and pay.
Identification of galaxies, stars and quasars using multiple neural networks
Written communication can come across as cold and impolite, even when this isn't really the writer's intent.

People often forget to use basic manners and niceties online. Or they leave them out intentionally because it seems superfluous, or because they want to mimic the tone they see.

But this has a cost. It's human nature to want to be acknowledged, and to be surrounded by kindness rather than coldness.

It's amazing how far a simple gesture like a "thanks" or a "nice job" can go.

My only advice would be to pay attention to your own communication style. You may be able to influence others by communicating in the same way that you appreciate.
Wow, I've not heard Eli Goldratt (z'l) mentioned in such a long time. In my very first job ('80s), the company owner handed me a copy of The Goal and said it was the most essential book I would need. I know now after many years dealing with manufacturing, that he was correct!

Anyway, I'm very curious about that mentor-at-a-distance? Can you share more?
We basically jail our children at this point.

It was like this when I was in high school as well: There is no place where young people are allowed to gather and explore their personalities.
Getting code to do the right thing is an engineering activity. Getting code to make sense, to communicate an accurate and useful sense of the problem and solution space to yourself and others across time and change, is a humanities activity.

To get to 100% EV usage, yes. In the US, we're already at 5.5% sales of all cars are BEVs, up from a year ago at 3.1%, up from 1% two years ago. In just 5 years a sizable portion of American cars will be BEV, which will create demand for charging and grid usage, which will accelerate the shift. In markets with lots of Tesla adoption, there's already a robust used Tesla market.
It doesn't work like this. If it's a tossup (ie probability =~1:1) then there's no legal liability. Importantly, whether the cat's dead or alive is irrelevant.

The issue here is that it's not a tossup. The probability is >=2:1 hence the liability, even if that is alive after the plunge.
> Wait until you hear about the leap years! They insert a whole day, often right in the middle of the work week!

That is pretty fine tuned given they only insert a full day. ;)

In Chinese lunar calendar, and probably other calendars as well, they insert a full month known as the leap month. Yes, you hear me right, 13 months in such leap years.

> Too bad there weren't any computers around at the time or software developers might have convinced Julius Caesar what a disaster and source of bugs that will be for centuries to come. He might have dropped the whole idea.

Indeed. Such 2000 years old garbage is just not very compatible with modern way of life in which lots of things are being changed. From memory, in a few years, the definition of a second will also be reviewed by the international community. The current definition based on some funny behavior of Caesium atom is no longer the best. UTC is another drama deserve to have more care.
Aha, group by millisecond! Thanks.
It's insane enough that we even allow corporations to own platforms and users. Software development should be free. They should not be able to reject anything. We should reject that notion entirely instead of playing the game they made up.
I had a similar experience with an Adwords account getting banned for "Circumventing systems", and we were completely confused as to why we got the rejection.

And then the appeals process after that was just like yours: copy pasta email without any explanation about how to fix the problem.
And this is why we need to cherish the web. I see no reason why a yoga app can't be done on the web. I do know that apps tend to convert better, if only we could bridge that gap.

It's in particular troubling how much of this madness we've internalized to just accept. The idea that you need to resubmit a 100 apps because Google decided you need to target a different internal version number is insane. It would be very bad if the SDK had a breaking change, but in this case it's just busy work: upping a number and resubmitting.

And what about the rule to be able to report user generated content? Who the hell is Google to interfere on such app-specific functionality? What if my moderation workflow would only allow draft posts, each manually approved, making reporting them pointless? Does Google actually check if a report gets sent or followed up? I don't think so. So it's an invasive power grab, and then poorly regulated.

These platforms and gatekeepers have become far too powerful and leveled up the arrogance that comes with it.

> A building inspector wouldn't say "this building has a code violation in the kitchen area" and refuse to provide specifics about what would fix it.

Electrical inspections can be very much that way.

"This isn't up to code, I'm not signing off on it."

"How is it not up to code?"

"Your electrician knows. Or you can look in the electrical code."

Your electrician doesn't know; no other inspector has ever objected to the way they've done things.

That electrical code is paywalled, despite being official government policy (written and published by a trade association, which regularly updates said code mostly to force people to keep re-buying their volumes.)
What about Solana? AAX (Which also halted withdrawals)? Voyager? SoftBank?

Then there are other things like the Future Fund. The flowchart for something this big is huge.

And at the same time, Crypto.com is in real trouble, and if it goes under, that will be a big blow because they have an outsized brand. It may even cause a run on Tether... which is the scam that props up everything else in crypto.

> Hopefully recent economic events will change the culture and more companies will actually factor in reality into their growth models.

How would it, and how would they?

The way I understand it, the growth model is pretty ultimately set in stone when a company takes VC money. It's a Faustian bargain - you get a big and cheap loan, at the price of aiming for "some fantasy growth", or dying in the attempt. Companies that want sustainable growth take loans from banks.

Railway electrification in the US is a political problem. US freight rail has tiny margins and relies on quantity for profits.

The US gov't is loathe to make American rail less competitive and force it to electrify, so they continue running polluting trains.
They've divorced themselves from Google funding in the past (and signed with Yahoo in the US, other search engines elsewhere) and likely could again.
Not to mention being paid by Google for a service and literally being Google are two very different things.
To clarify, I've been using Macs since 1987 and macOS in it's various guised for 21 years.

> At the semantic level it's fundamentally mixing two separate concerns. Further, resolving this quandry requires opening a next-level menu and further analysis, it cannot be done immediately/visually. IMHO, this sort of thing is the objective definition of "unintuitive" in an interface.

No, different to what you are used to. For nearly 40 years it has worked this way in the OS. I have no problem with you not liking it, but your reasoning isn't reasoned.

> Never heard of using this to scan, and you even said it's an "image viewer".

You didn't look very hard, clearly. It was used to scan when it was part of NeXTStep. In fact, in the olden days, when scanners were still a thing for most people, you would 'preview' the scan first!

> I now see it has an 'Import image from scanner...' function. Wow, that's ... not what I was looking for. I will always scan many pages at once.

Wow. It says 'scanner' in the fucking menu item. What more do you want! I know, I know, "work like my favourite OS".

> [Somewhere on the internet has information...]
Yeah, great. If you're such an Apple documentation fan, try finding out how to fix my keyboard on the Apple site then. I'll send you a hardware gift if you can solve that one. Tried everything hinted at on the internet, no help.

You claimed that you needed "undocumented key combinations at boot time." I linked to official documentation! Would you rather a printed manual autographed by Steve Jobs? And if you tell me what's wrong with your keyboard (i.e. symptoms of the issue) instead of whining about it, I, and many others could help.

> Incorrect. I've never seen Linux drop support for hardware except ultra-ancient hardware (>40 years).

I gave an example of hardware that was broken. I couldn't give a shit that you think it's the manufacturers fault. The rest of us don't feel the need to Open-source all the things. We just want shit to work. Not including binary blobs is idealism at its worst. Fundamentally, an update broke it. This came from the distro. It. Is. Bad. User. Experience. And that lies with the distributor of the OS as much as the hardware vendor.

I haven't reinstalled macOS since I took the 2018 machine out of the box. It's running Ventura now without issue.

> I don't trust closed source single vendor systems with my data, sorry.

Right. That's, like, your choice, man.

All in all, save for the possibility that your keyboard issues are genuine, everything you listed isn't down to the system being 'unintuitive', it's down to your ignorance and at times not RTFMing. You are stating opinion as fact which doesn't lead to constructive conversations.

This is reported in the article:

"Moonikin Campos' job will be to pretend to be an astronaut, and sensors inside of him will measure radiation, acceleration and vibration to help NASA prepare to launch human astronauts in the next Artemis mission."

"Accompanying Moonikin Campos are two other female-bodied mannequins, named Helga and Zohar, developed by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) along with the Israel Space Agency. These are more accurately called “anthropomorphic phantoms,” and their job is to provide a detailed recording of the radiation environment inside the capsule over the course of the mission. The phantoms are female because women have more radiation-sensitive tissue than men. Both Helga and Zohar have over 6,000 tiny radiation detectors placed throughout their artificial bodies, but Zohar will be wearing an AstroRad radiation protection vest to see how effective it is."
The opposite. The answer to your question is that electric bikes have unique handling characteristics compared to everything that isn't an electric bike.

If your comparison is human powered bikes, the answer is that you have more energy at your disposal than a human powered bike, and so you may be on a different surface and at a different speed than you otherwise would be, with equipment designed for different conditions.
What do you mean by “work against business objectives”?
> In Linguistics the notion that a language is more difficult/complex than another is not accepted.

This is not quite true; it is widely accepted that certain languages are less complex than most others. A few languages can't be less complex without most languages being more complex.

Interestingly, among the examples of languages losing complexity due to real-world interactions are English and Mandarin Chinese, both of which endless people will be happy to tell you are uniquely difficult.
For most major distros, the oldest version of Python that they ship is usually the one that's used by other packages that depend on Python. It's not uncommon - especially for libraries - to need testing on something older.
That was sort of the premise of the book "The Circle" by Dave Eggers (not going to mention the film adaptation because it was so bad I pretend it doesn’t exist). It didn’t turn out too well in the end.
Interesting, glad they're doing that but ok probably best not to count on that policy if you don't have to.
Lesson: adding comments explaining what you think the code us doing today arent helpful.

Observation: many comments explaining what the code is doing don't match what the code is doing after a few check-ins.

Bingo. When they started to add every feature known to man because they had to live up to some $1b valuation that never made sense, the core product really suffered.

Stay off Google. Stay off Apple. Stay off Facebook. Stay off Amazon. Stay off Microsoft. Stay off Reddit. Stay off Twitter. Stay off Adobe. Stay off Salesforce. Stay off Oracle. Stay off Sony. Stay off eBay. Stay off GoDaddy. Stay off PayPal. Stay off Etsy. Stay off Steam. Stay off Comcast. Stay off RCA.

Own your platform from the bottom to the top. If your business model requires you to rely on one of these companies, pivot.

We have lost. They have won. They can deplatform anyone for anything or for nothing. Your continued use of the platform depends on whether or not you make them money. You are entitled to nothing they have built. They are not providing public services or utilities.

Abandon them, or on your own head be it when, not if, you get fucked.

If possible, stay off the U.S. Dollar.

Inside a Once-$10B Crypto Empire That's Suddenly Cracking
I too have become a DRY infidel. You are not alone, and I don't think few would agree.

There is nothing I love more when editing a feature than having 10 files open. :)

Or having to later "de-nomalise" previously DRY work because feature X doesn't need what feature Y now does, but they share code, so now I've got to dance.
That's actually really problematic - both that the code is paywalled and that an inspector would be cagey about it.

disclaimer, what I'm about to say is just vague recollection of content that had already been pre-digested into layperson science news. There's probably a ton of loss in this signal.

From what I understand, memory cells literally reproduce the original brain signal just as if it were coming from outside stimulus. Like playing the brain waves off a tape recorder.
>ultimately, confusing the author personal life with his ideas, or reaching conclusions between the two, this is mainly garbage

Hard disagree. You cannot truly understand a person’s thought without understanding the person’s life.

Even a hardcore logician like Russell, you know he was an academic during such and such a period of history which influenced his worldview and that which he found important.

Maybe I’m just outing myself as a PoMo, but thought is life and living begets thought. Philosophers are interpreters of the grand drama in which they have a part.
The suggestion is clearly fantasy.
Even aside from that, WSL is only useful if you are writing code that will run on Linux at the end of the day. This is usually true for web apps, but that's not the only thing people write in Python. Libraries, in particular, need to be able to target Windows directly.
AI code tools have nothing on compilers and static analysis
It would only "even out" if the different understandings of "acceptable" didn't have any correlation with people's political preferences. Given that we know there are personality traits that are strongly indicative of party membership[0] (not to mention education level), I think the default assumption should be that different parties will be affected differently by voters interpreting the question differently.

Also, all aspects of voting systems have to be considered in the context of an adversarial environment, and you have to imagine that some parties will be more unscrupulous than others at exploiting voters' confusion, or just better at using polling data or other strategies to instruct their voters how to make their votes more powerful.

I suppose you could argue that we already accept that tactical voting is a reality under FPTP, and maybe in practice the situation under Approval wouldn't be any worse over all (although it might be better for some parties and worse for others), but even if it is better, you have the problem that any change adds to the "attack surface" of things that election losers can point at to cast the validity of the results into doubt.

That's why any reform needs to ideally involve voter instructions and election outcomes that are more intuitive than FPTP, to counteract the potential for additional misinformation to be introduced.

> I also feel for the customer service agents you're haranguing

I feel vaguely sorry that people have to do these jobs where they are set up to be harrangued. However, I sincerely hope they are at least prepared for it.

A normal person, including Anthony, would say something like:

Sorry, I'm working with an automated system which doesn't provide me with any more information, and cannot obtain any more help from my organization; even though I may appear to be an insider, in a real sense I am an 'employed outsider'.

I have no contact information for escalating these kinds of problems, nothing. Let me put this in the clearest possible terms: even if I wrote an application myself which got rejected, and if I by dumb luck I were assigned to my own support case, I would not be able to help myself. Get it? The best I would be able to do is perhaps randomly change the application or rewrite it and hope that the new one sticks.

Someone obviously knows the machinery, and why it rejects certain applications, but I'm not allowed to know who that is. And it's not even clear they would do anything about it.

What I'm saying is effectively that I could perform this support job to its full extent if I were sitting over there with you, looking over your shoulder, relying on what you have on your screen.

In short, I am completely useless to you, in this matter. I am here to answer the dumb questions that smart people people like you can resolve by themselves, for the sake of that minority who aren't able to. Think of me like someone who CAN google, rather than someone AT Google.

In addition to that, I can do stunningly realistic impressions. If we go to voice chat, I will introduce you to Putin!

The closest Anthony came to the above was admitting that the repeated material was all the information that was given to him.

This means basically one thing; Anthony was trained to push back on these requests and just use the provided information, and also trained not to talk about the circumstances of his support work in any personal way.

That job is acceptable to Anthony and so there he is; whether that means it sucks to be Anthony is hard to say. Maybe it's better than jobs he had before and he's happy for now. Maybe Anthony is able to help a good fraction of the cases, and feels good about that.
