The point of sociology, like all the humanist sciences (even languages) is to change the world, not to study it. The highest good in social sciences is social change, and methods to achieve it. You're applying positivist ideas to non-positivist sciences.

For humanist sciences truth is a tool in service of a higher, moral goal. Just like lying is another tool. Both are to be used, and whether some claim is true or false is not nearly as relevant as whether it can change society. For languages truth is irrelevant, after all you're studying fiction. Fiction is mean to convey "higher truths", which can in practice be anything from amusement to outright deception.

Often people in these sciences go further and go for outright postmodernism, which disputes that truth and falsehood even exist at all. It's just a matter of perspective.

I may be an idiot, but you seem confused: first you assume that I can not be this naïve, then you conclude that I am? Let me assure you, I'm not that naïve, but I don't presume to have the solution either. I agree that would have been better, but there you go. Maybe if we were more people than the vanishing few that I encounter, maybe then we would have something we could try.

More weapons that are likely to start a third world war by mistake is not a satisfactory solution IMO.
I agree, the article seems very anecdotal and grossly generalizing. The point at the end might be to look for a company that suits you, but that’s not really a new insight, is it?

Having worked in a school in IT in my early career (10 years ago), where students were given laptops to use in the classroom, they are very useful. To be honest, I am quite surprised this question is still being asked in 2022.

The world of learning is moving online, textbooks are being provided electronically, assignments are being submitted electronically, grades are provided electronically and even some learning tools used in the classroom are online. Heck there are schools that have been providing laptops for students for the last decade.

I'd ask the question back to you, if you had to move back to pen and paper would it inhibit your ability to do your job? If so, then I think you know the answer.
Tenths of a millimeter not much worse than FDM in vacuum... the problem is those tenths vary based on shape (even more than with FDM), and can be non-uniform across a surface (flat surfaces tend to end up warped pretty easily)
I absolutely agree, but doesn't that precisely undermine your point? There's nothing about trying to prevent nuclear apocalypse that isn't "in vogue", it's just widely seen as a hard problem. And if it's a hard problem, isn't there a place for looking at the far easier one of reading a few papers and noticing that a few steps taken in advance could make a big difference in survival odds (assuming you aren't one of the many people annihilated instantly and pointlessly in the initial blast).

And yeah, I'd like to believe there's a good reason for nuclear proliferation, and today things are pretty locked in by game theory, but there was absolutely a decision made early on! During WWII Germany was nowhere near finishing a nuclear weapon, and the Soviet Union only worked it out with the help of a spy. Seems like there was at least a shot of no one developing nukes if the Manhattan project hadn't happened.
If, at bottom, they are all also accomplishing something, then it's ok that they are using each other's product. If the whole web of startups selling to other startups is not actually accomplishing anything much except burning VC cash, then it is in fact a problem (one which will be resolved soon, I expect).
The main problem I have with the staging area is that it amounts to being something that's like a commit except for, you know, not actually being a commit, and therefore things that normally work on commits don't necessarily work on the staging area.

A better fix would be to make the staging area an actual commit, and then reframe everything as easy ways to edit the latest commit. (This meshes well with adding features like Mercurial's phases or changeset evolution that make commit editing somewhat safer).
Interesting! Are you planning to keep recollecting data for the year 2023?

I hope that's Linkedin. Because if it's another site like Monster, StepStone or similars, I'm afraid the data is probably garbage. I don't know a single engineer in Germany who uses anything but Linkedin (well, many engineers use niche job boards like remoteok, or directly use the company's career section... but no single one uses Monster/StepStone/Glassdoor, because they are total crap)

Edit: the data source seems to be stepstone.de. That's unfortunate. Is there any chance to run this against Linkedin for 2023? That would be awesome!

It's a good thing to create an enviroment that is safe from 4chan-style brigading, yes.

>Is it really no longer possible to have conversations happen between folks that disagree,

At this point? No -because neither side can agree on common references; the left get their news from one set of news outlets and the far right get their news from qanon or whatever facebook fringe groups.

It's impossible to have a conversation if you cannot even agree on basic language or common references.

With their being fewer and fewer genuinely left-of-center outlets it becomes necessary for people to be able to build enclaves that won't be shitposted into oblivion (see also: reddit with the_donald and other brigading subs)
All sorts of offtopic prompts are unsurprisingly generating nonsensical answers, but even prompting with "lecture notes on clathrin-mediated endocytosis" yielded:

"In the case of clathrin-mediated endocytosis, it is a process used by eukaryotic cells to take up extracellular material and molecules into the cell. It is a mechanism used by cells to take up specific molecules, and it is a mechanism used by cells to regulate the composition of the cell surface. It is a mechanism used by cells to regulate the composition of the cell surface, and it is a mechanism used by cells to take up specific molecules.

Another management article, another comfortable metaphor that doesn't say much more than uncomfortable terms like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nepotism.

The image of "a formation of enemies smashing through your lines" just offers a sensation of gradually being overwhelmed. It implies more coordination and competency than exists, doesn't convey strategies against the maneuver, and also doesn't describe the consequences. Like the article said, it only applies to big companies and not really to smaller ones.

I think the more fitting metaphor for nepotism is cancer. Friends hiring friends who hire friends often cannot manage their friends; let alone fire their friends. It's unconscious, easy to spread, easy to grow, all natural with bad long-term prospects for the host. Like the author implies, it's not a strategy for the "long game". Too bad management articles can't speak straightly for fear of losing ethically confused readers.
It's just too bad that the flagship instance of Lemmy (lemmy.ml) is full of literal hardline Marxists and Soviet Union nostalgics/apologists. Totally insufferable.

Absolutely not! Is this because I have failed to imagine a world without a nuclear threat, or because the problem is very hard? Not the former! As proof see counterexample- I can imagine a nukeless world just fine.

Ok, care to explain?

It seems to me that your comment concerns the connection between financial complexity and fraud (it's easier to conceal fraud when you have complex structures).

My comment didn't concern that topic at all. My comment concerned "can we judge if A is more complex than B based on these 2 pictures". I said that we can't know if A is more complex than B, or if B is more complex than A, based on these 2 pictures.

Your comment doesn't even mention the pictures. Nor does it attempt to draw any kind of conclusion about the comparison between A and B. Nor does it provide a general framework for drawing comparisons. So I don't see how it relates to what I said at all.

As someone who used to be intimately involved in the development of PHP, HHVM was an interesting project because for a long time it supported standard PHP (alongside Facebook's custom language, Hack), so it brought competition to the implementation space! But eventually Facebook lost interest in that part, probably because they had no use for it.
The shovel-seller isn't necessarily also a prospector. They do, however, make a lot of money off of prospectors, whether any gold gets ultimately found or not.

The way I think about it is that it allows for self-regulation the way it happens in real life too. In real life you can't go into someone's neighborhood meeting and harass people, you'd get kicked out and you wouldn't be welcome going forward. The same way servers can cut ties with other servers. Someone here explained it much better than me but the idea that everybody should have an opportunity to be heard by everyone just isn't realistic and isn't what we do in non-virtual communication. Federation allows to facilitate that.

It's not a particularly good story, but I wish people would stop with the conspiratorial thinking. There is no evidence that the NYT is "in bed" with the guy or trying to help him -- and no reason to believe it would be in their interest to do that for him.

Why would they want to help him? Do you think he is bribing them with his worthless imaginary money? How does the NYT benefit from defending someone who has destroyed his own reputation and lost billions of dollars of customer money?

Is it possible the entire thing was a Madoff-style fraud from the beginning? Yes, but that is not the only possibility. No charges have been filed, and all the people who think he should be thrown in jail never mention what laws they think he broke. It's not illegal to be an incompetent failure, and fraud has a specific definition that requires intent and does not cover all instances of simply lying.

If the NYT had written an article accusing the guy of crimes, they wouldn't have a basis for doing so. Not yet, anyway. Maybe actual criminal lawbreaking will be discovered, but right now, there is no proof. Should newspapers be accusing people of crimes without proof?

People need to put down the pitchforks and torches and wait for the full truth to come out. It's going to take a while.
small correction; it's only possible if both sides are capable and willing to set aside heated rhetoric. At this point in time, I honestly question if any of the sides are capable of honest engagement.

> It's really just a matter of habit and getting used to no staging area takes short and has huge benefits.

Sorry, but no. "No staging area" is what VCSes were like before Git and it was worse, much worse.
Amusingly, the answers to both of the prompts "proof of the existence of irrational numbers" and "proof of the nonexistence of irrational numbers" are completely wrong, but the latter is considerably worse:

> The proof of the nonexistence of irrational numbers is a mathematical proof that the real numbers cannot be partitioned into two sets such that all elements of one set are irrational numbers and all elements of the other set are rational numbers. In other words, every real number is either rational or irrational.

> Assume there exists an irrational number a and a rational number b such that a = b. Since a is irrational, it can be written as a = c/d where c and d are integers and d is nonzero. Thus a = b = c/d, so c/d is a rational number. But this is a contradiction because the rational numbers are closed under division, so c/d is rational if and only if c and d are both rational. Since d is nonzero, it cannot be rational

I own a PLB, and I don't bring it on every hike with the dog or walk in the woods. I will always have my iPhone though, I think this feature is amazing for the broad coverage and you have it on your iPhone 14 (and later) by default, attempt to call 911 and if you don't have service it's going to walk you through it. I've loaned my PLB to family members, and there was a lengthy instruction period about how to use it. This comes with none of that baggage, it's easy to use and you already have it in your pocket.
It’s not about biased tools though. I would use a device invented by a Nazi scientist.

The approximate 7500 figure is the total headcount of ALL twitter employees (not sure if this figure is global or USA only).

According to recent articles, twitter laid off around 7-800 employees from its SF office. If we go by the reports that Musk laid off ~50% of the employees, that approximates around 1500 employees at the SF office. 10% showing up would give us 150 showing up daily.
Question: What is a retro encabulator?

Answer: A retro encabulator is a hypothetical device that would be able to convert a stream of photons into a stream of electrons. The term was coined by the science fiction author Larry Niven in his 1973 novel Ringworld.

Question: Wikipedia article on retro encabulator

Retro encabulator (also retro-encabulator) is a type of mechanical calculator invented by the Italian engineer Luigi Colani in the 1960s.

Retro-encabulator with its cover openThe retro-encabulator uses a rotating crank handle to set the multiplier. The multiplicand is set by rotating a dial with a small pointer on it. The pointer is read off from a scale around the dial. The result is read off from a second scale around the dial.

Lots of people don't know this, but the FBI is a joke. They don't really do much to keep us safe. The vast majority of their effort is targeted at low effort stupid, and/or mentally ill nobodies of little notoriety.

I appreciate them going after pedos, but even when a co-worker was nabbed I couldn't help thinking: is this really an effective strategy vs. a low effort way to put meaningless points on the board?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he got caught. It was one of the dumbest things I ever read, because the dude was basically just doing it on openly on semi-public social media accounts. Again, I'm glad he's stupid and got busted; he got a lot of years (almost a decade) and I don't feel sorry for him (the indictment was disgusting, even if he didn't have known "new victims").

On the other hand, it seemed like a lot of effort (and almost certainly celebration/career building from the federal agents) for someone drag and dropping files informally... I'm uncomfortable even harboring that thought considering what he is, and this is NOT a victimless crime, but I'm suspicious that they're using these low effort kills to pad their stats, and they may be wasting effort (in other cases that don't involve child exploitation) and using it to inflate their importance.

They're just going for the most low hanging, easy targets; many of them are far from the higher level of threat. In some cases the FBI seems to be manufacturing crime out of thin air and getting away with it. They catch some slightly threatening chump, trick them into committing crimes (in other cases than the pedo one I mentioned), throw a bunch of years at them, and spike the football. Meanwhile traffickers, terrorists (and probably CP producers too) are barely under threat. I'm sure they would say that they go after them too, but it's just harder to bust more sophisticated criminals, and that they do in smaller number; still I've been skeptical ever since I heard about this stuff.

Anyway it's easier to talk about the governor case, because she's an authority figure that never had to even go face to face with them. It really seems to have some of the hallmarks of the issues I described. I also do understand that this is a part of crime fighting and you should still nab the easy dumbasses; but you shouldn't trick them into committing new crimes. IMO even if they maybe would commit the crime under different circumstances.
The Deliverator will not abide.
I would be interested to see the complete list, and a comparison to the costs of a modern equivalent. I would guess the costs for most things has dropped dramatically, while the cost for professionals has relatively risen. The professionals mentioned were

— The queen even had an illuminator in her retinue, Godfrey ‘pictor’, who was responsible for decorating her books and is also mentioned in the accounts

— Eleanor granted power to William de Verges, yeoman, to do fealty in her name to Guy, Count of Flanders, for the land that had fallen to her by hereditary right.

— The wardrobe account also records payments made to the queen’s own fowler (or bird hunter)

What is unignorable? Politics? I can ignore it just fine when I consider it not an appropriate subject. And a losing strategy? For what?

Why does every arena have to be about picking a fight, rather than finding common ground? Why try to increase the divide in our society?

IANAM (...Not A Metallurgist), but this looks plausible...(if extremely simplified):

https://steelplates.in/how-to-manufacture-steel-plates-sheet...

From vague memory, the two huge issues for armor plate (especially ~150 years ago) are:

- Having the extremely heavy equipment needed to roll very thick plates. ~Nothing except warship armor was anything resembling that thick, for such equipment to even have been developed previously.

- The specialized metallurgy & treatments needed to make "hard" armor. Iron/steel plate for other purposes (boilers, etc.) was optimized for physical properties which bore very little resemblance to "resistant to penetration by high velocity cannon balls".
Well in that situation you can stash unstaged, reset, then pop. But that just reinforces the OP’s point. Not the most ergonomic or discoverable path for something that should be simple to do.
