I've had some coworkers who were particularly bad at communicating the context of what they were talking about. They'd start talking about something and I couldn't understand what they were saying because they didn't say what something was.

Them: "I couldn't get it to start up correctly because the parameters weren't right. What are the right parameters?"

Me: "What are you even talking about?"

It got so bad at one job that I created a sign that said "Context Please" that I would hold up to my coworker. I could only get away with it because we worked well together and were friends. He just had a big problem with context in his communication.
>The rot starts at the top, with a gate-kept Academy of Nutritionists that is far more concerned about increasing Dietition wages

My wife is in the process of transferring her international nutrition degree to the US, and we learned that starting in Jan 2024, nutritionists will now need a Masters degree to be eligible for accreditation.

Indeed, the Cosmic Microwave Background is the light that's still left over from a time when the Universe was much hotter and filled with plasma. At a certain point, the Universe cooled down enough to become neutral, which made it mostly transparent, and allowed the photons that had been bouncing around in the plasma to travel indefinitely.

> its distance is also not limited by light travel distance

At cosmological scales, there is no single, correct definition of "distance." There is coordinate distance, light travel distance, angular diameter distance, luminosity distance, and other measures.[0] All these distances are the same at very small scales, but when you start looking at larger scales, General Relativity starts to matter and the geometry of the Universe is no longer Euclidean.

I did see the German police with assault rifles during a protest when I lived in Frankfurt. They may have just been rubber bullets or not loaded etc. I never stopped to ask because it was a little scary coming from a country where you just don't see guns.

That being said, I have no idea about how they police football games, so you may well be right!
This Gish gallop of questions strongly suggests that you don’t have a lot of experience in the financial industry yourself, and are trying to cover for it with bluster.
Deadball looks exactly like the 'modern reboot' I was imagining while reading the main article... Differing tables of results per player, with RPG elements for evolving the results tables over time.

I can also imagine a (probably computer-aided) variant, where true player stats are known only to the person who 'owns' the player, approximate stats are based on results in actual games, and there's a system for trading players between seasons.
Great thanks, I'll give NoMachine a try

Yeah, when i am deciding if i wish to return to a website to read more of their stuff, the very first thing that i do is search for an rss/atom feed. If they lack such a feed, then chances are quite high that i won't return.

> You asked if Y would be true given that X is true.

Yes, as a separate question from the former.

I know you're trying to explain why people can interpret my hypothetical questions as a single question, but it still doesn't make sense. What you're saying that I asked doesn't describe everything I asked.

The first question is independent of the second, and the second question is dependent on the first. The first question takes precedence, and was asked separately. It stands alone and doesn't depend on the answer of the other question. Otherwise, I would have structured it as a single question statement, like "If X is true, then would Y also be true?" That's a different question from what I asked because it's not asking whether X is true, but in the case that X is true.

To place precedence on the dependent question seems backwards and inefficient to me. Why answer it when it's negated by the independent question preceding it?

If the roles were reversed, my answer would be "No, X isn't true" followed by either "And yes, Y would be true as well if X is true, but X is not true" or "And no, Y is isn't related to X and can be true even if X is false."

No, this is usually not with direct leaders. It happens with colleagues I need information from, and occurs even with a query that simple.

One nit to pick. In my experience (NYC and Boston areas), libraries almost only buy their books new and specifically request for people to not donate their used books to them.

Other libraries I've been in have used book sales with donated books to raise funds for the library.

I think most people misunderstand the point of emergency use.

It was an emergency.

At the time the vaccine got authorized, we were in a middle of a pandemic, millions of people with no immunity were getting sick, and we couldn't stop the spread even with heavy restrictions. It was clear that we will all have some immunity eventually. The point of the emergency use of vaccine was to give people immunity in a way that wasn't as bad at getting sick. Wait too much, and the vaccine would have been mostly useless. It was a game of how much uncertainty we allow vs how much more deaths if we do nothing. And I think the (fairly conservative) bet saved millions, maybe we could have saved a bit more if we actually vaccinated people before the end of phase 3.

We are now in the end game, and the rules have changed. We are now almost all immunized in one way or another, the virus is now optimized for immune escape instead of raw speed, thankfully making it less deadly in the process. Because of that, the way we approach vaccination needs to change too. We can't compare today's situation with the beginning of 2021.
I don’t believe workers are this expendable. Something is sure to go wrong at some point and there won’t be a worker with the correct knowledge to fix it. This can happen anywhere within the company. It can be an infrastructure problem (e.g. database failure), a software problem (i.e. a bug that could be fixed in minutes lingers for months), administrative problem, a payroll problem (and you’ll loose even more workers because payroll is flaky), PR problem, legal issue, etc.

With only 20% of your workers, there is no way these problems will be addressed with equal ease.
Or is it genius? If your content sucks, let others generate it, measure traction, then influence what voices you want heard.

Now, it likely wasn’t planned out this way, but the benefits to manipulation now are obvious.
> Which is true, creating anything more complex than forms without a framework, as the OP mentions would require web component tech.

For the third time you present this opinion as undeniable fact, when it is not true in any way, shape, or form.

> What I wrote is not the same thing as saying "web components are required to build a web app".

You literally just said that.

> I suspect you genuinely made a mistake, and may speak English as a second language, but also are very young or not well developed,

Ah yes. First it was calling me a cunt. Now it's ad hominem attacks.

> so rather than admit the error you're trying to argue with me about something I never stated.

Literally, again and again, you insist that complex app require web components (the question of frameworks is entirely irrelevant). When I answer that no, they are not required, you are pretending you provide arguments, calling me a cunt, or calling me "not well developed".

Again:

Even if you build stuff without frameworks, web components are not required. To see proof that they are not required it's enough to look at literally tens of thousands of complex web sites built without them before they ever existed, or since. Yes, tens of thousands of complex sites that were built (and are being built) without web components or web frameworks.

Moreover, the only reason those web frameworks exist is that people reached a certain level of complexity, and packaged that complexity in a single generic solution, and still they don't require web components.

But sure, do go on stating your bullshit opinion as fact with zero supporting arguments while calling people cunts. This will show the world how well developed you are.

Not a pattern I run into. Maybe it's regional?
The "anti-trans" label is a rejection of false balance, not a particular ideological stance. It's roughly in line with Wikipedia's broader policy of rejecting "softening" labels that groups use to obscure their positions. Compare, for example, the white supremacists who call themselves "race realists."
I'm always surprised that only we, as in humans species, need studies, books and other things to educate us on what should or should not eat. The processing unit is inside us and yet its feedback is unreliably or, at best, too late to change the course of action. Even when looking at food, my sense doesn't say anything about it suitability to my body and mind. Only rotten or gone bad food are repulsive to the senses.

And we are the most evolved species in this damn mud ball. I'm sick of it. From religions, cultures and science, everybody has something to say about the food we eat. But my body? Nope, almost nothing or too late, and that point you don't even know what caused the damage.

I see a cow and it just eats the grass all day. It is stronger than me. It weigh more than me. It might be less intellectual than me, but it is not less intelligent than me as far as nutrition science.
It seems strange to me that on one hand, Taylor criticises TicketMaster's poor handling of her concert sales... but on the other hand, she might just be the only person on the planet with the money and influence to fix this problem, yet she does nothing.

Artists should en masse force ticket sellers to ban ticket resale -- refunds only. Kill the scalping market. Just like with GPUs, once the scalpers trying to get their greedy 10x disappear, the technical problem disappears as well.

Maybe tech companies prefer to keep the scalpers around, since it drums up demand and makes people more willing to pay ticket seller fees "because it's not as bad as the scalpers"?
If you are a leading developer on Twitter's Android app and the company's new CEO is making verifiably untrue, denigrating public statements about the architecture of the Android app that make you look incompetent, what do you do? Accept the damage to your professional reputation and roll over? Or "undermine" the CEO by explaining your app does not in fact make >1000 poorly batched RPC calls to render the timeline in front of the community of your peers?

That's the example I'm thinking of, and I would guess that even if that dev fully expected to be terminated for making that correction they viewed it as a price worth paying to spare their professional reputation.
fyi I found another primary source:

Marti, B. (1989). "Relationships between Running Injuries and Running Shoes — Results of a Study of 5,000 Participants of a 16-km Run — The May 1984 Berne Grand Prix". In Segesser, B.; Pförringer, W. (eds.). The Shoe in Sport. pp. 256–265.

https://archive.org/details/shoeinsport0000unse_r2y3/page/25...

In the 1984 Bern 16 km race questionnaire, runners who had no shoe brand preference and presumably changed brands frequently had significantly fewer running injuries. There was also some correlation between higher shoe price and increased injury. "It is probably incorrect, however, to interpret this surprising finding to mean that more expensive shoes cause more running injuries…". That group was 1 1⁄2 minutes slower than expected from their training and had a higher proportion of orthotics use. It may well be that runners with existing injuries hope that expensive shoes will fix their body.
Fine, 44b then.

Actually we cannot see far (other galaxies, early galaxies, quasars) in some parts of the sky because we are in our own galaxy plane [1], so stars, but mostly gas and dust between them obscure significant portion of our field of view [2].

Thanks for the rec. I just burned an audible credit for a bathtime listen. This is a concept I'm noodling on quite a bit lately, and was hoping to pick up a handful of digestible tips to pass along to my kids.

Curiously, I'm finding myself quite distracted by the skits used to illustrate points. I was engaged for a few minutes before the dialogue started.
What does "committed" look like to you? The promise of working more for the same or less? What upside is there for folks who "commit"? Besides personal gratification, is it even remotely likely that Twitter will do something at this point to pull untold riches from thin air that would somehow benefit these people? From the sound of it, no.
That's just not true - most competent/valuable people have an 'ownership mentality' - that is they invest serious mental effort into making every feature as good as it can be, to tackle hard challenges rather than moving - this unfortunately is not always optimal for either career progression or rising through the ranks internally and gives management some leverage to fleece these people.
More communication is not better communication.

I've met so many people who assume that talking more means they're better communicators. Not necessarily true. In fact, often the opposite is true.

Yes, I observed this, too.
I'm not using it right now, but at a previous company we used Gitlab CI on the free tier with self-hosted runners. Kicked ass.
I disagree on this point all though I think the term is vague.

If I grill a steak and then chop it up into pieces i have "processed" it. This isn't what anyone is talking about when they say processed foods though.

If I chop up several different types of meat, add several different colorants, fillers, perservatives and whatever else, turn it all into a slurry and then reconsistute it into a spam loaf, I think there are a lot of good reasons to believe this is ineherently unhealthy, the most simple being that its really easy to dump in a bunch of sugar and extra fats.
> Are you in the finance function at your startup?

Yes, I am. I'm in engineering but I have to work closely with our accounting team to make sure all the numbers add up and, importantly, that everything is auditable, and I built the systems to do this.

I'll let Matt Levine say it better than I can. What passed for financial tracking at FTX (which was a financial company) is beyond disgusting. FTX had a "hidden, poorly internally labeled ‘fiat@’ account, with a balance of negative $8 billion. The result of adding or subtracting those numbers with ordinary numbers is not a number; it is prison."
> And X is way smaller than N*.7 (it's ~0)

I don't disagree, but this is objectively just hope. The only reason N*7 is huge is because C's adoption. There is nothing to suggest that Rust's N*(bad issue %) is smaller than Cs if it had the same adoption as C. It's fanbase is just trying to increase its presence at the expense of C, to then be able to say "see, we did it, we replaced C and we're better off!", but today, it's equally likely that the outcome is going to be "well, we didn't know about <insert issue here> at the time".
How does the world vote?
Pretty common if not necessarily advertised. I'll echo what others have said-- any site I particularly care about has an RSS feed.

I've written scrapers for some things that don't expose RSS to dump into the tt-rss database, too. Having the data sitting in a relational database makes it easy to interface with. (I wrote my own "podcatcher" since 2005-era tt-rss didn't have any such functionality and just use the tt-rss database as its back-end.)
It’s not different from a smart contract. Testing, low is the only remedy, and that can be simplified with a great toolkit, which we’ll be offering.
It will until it stops. Then no one will be available to make it go again. Inertia eventually fails.

I feel like 90% of the computer industry is ignoring the lessons of Bazel and is probably going to wake up in 10 years and go "ooooooh, that's how we should have been doing it".
Many tech companies are over-staffed: R+D pet projects, full time OSS devs, dev rel, etc. Some companies probably have staff who literally do one task like managing webpack config. I disagree with Musk about A LOT, but most companies have opportunities to trim fat before they even touch the core product.

Time to start taking those big risks I always wanted to take. There are some real savings here if I manage to die in the next two weeks, plus I can still keep getting things done!

Will I need to keep paying to keep getting things done after I die? Can posterity automate that too? How can I cancel my service after death if it fails to deliver, or say, I, as a ghost become dissatisfied with it?

Boredom is something we all face, but the trick is to have some itch, then scratch it, then you'll never be bored.

As for burnout, it's been discussed here plenty of times, and I would recommend searching HN's Algolia search engine to help you out. There's plenty of tips on what to do about burnout and how to recover from it.
80% imo could so very easily be bloat. Features/services that are underutilized and haemorrhaging money don't need to be upkept, teams dedicated to curating content like twitter headlines and moderating content don't need to be there (at the scale it's currently at). Staffing for hospitality services at Twitter HQ and all the ancillary services that are unnecessary or under-utilized.
As long as the servers are running, people will be able to post 240 chars of content and some rich media images, the Twitter platform is not ground breaking tech
I often have a hard time communicating. This is a hurdle I deal with on a daily basis and makes for stressful encounters with others.

My train of thought often branches when asked a general question on a particularly large topic::::

-My ability to communicate during such conversations may come out very rushed because of the amount of material to cover such a topic.
-My choice of words may vary depending on a particular subsection of that topic.
-I may feel unsure or frustrated with myself in having to double-back or rethink my choice of words on the fly.

What would help us both would be a very specific question to a very narrow topic. That would allow me to be relatively brief while providing full meaningful context to the question at hand.

On a personal note, it doesn't help that I am often sleep-deprived and drink too much coffee just to keep a resemblance of normal functionality. Pre-existing health conditions may affect mental state and ability to communicate with others.
You're assuming that someone leaving immediately causes things to break down. A lot of things will take some time to see the effects of people leaving.

How do you know that the parameters are fine tuned from a single observation? Occam's razor still needs multiple observations to create the model.
It's one question. The others are some potential answers. Sometimes when one asks a question, it's unclear if they are looking for a nuanced response, or they literally have no idea what something means. You'll often see someone who wants the nuanced response offer a few potential answers as a way to signal they are looking for nuance.

"Gish gallop" on wikipedia suggests something quite different.
