I didn't notice any bias towards Russia in The Economist, quite the contrary.
Their March 31st issue was titled "Why Ukraine must win".

I agree. I think the business is trickling down to smaller businesses right now, and you'll see more hiring at smaller places.
US eCommerce adoption rose dramatically because of Covid providing a fertile ground for all digital companies (SHOP, META, AMZN, GOOG, etc) to hire like there is no tomorrow.
They all were wrong by assuming that this trend would continue.

As it turns out. Humans love meeting other humans in real live way more than meeting people online.
Ask HN: Is Google becoming useless as a search engine, or is it just me?
Google used to be my first stop whenever I had to research anything, but of late, I've increasingly found myself appending site:reddit.com or site:stackoverflow.com to get any meaningful results.

Most of my searches lately have either revolved around a couple of medical issues (my wife's slightly complex pregnancy, and my own neck injury) or technical problems.

The medical results are absolutely hopeless. Almost all the top pages are the same article written in five different ways, and each only has the most basic, broad information. You can tell from a glance that the article wasn't written by a subject matter expert. You can also tell that the article is trying its best to "play it safe" and list out only the broadest possible range of results.

It's the same problem with technical searches. Outside of Stackoverflow results (which, thankfully, are at the top of the page), most articles are written for a broad, beginner audience (like a React article starting with a tutorial on installing React). Most content, again, feels like it wasn't written by subject matter experts but article writers copy-pasting solutions from multiple different articles.

I don't know if I'm the only one, but as a long time Google power user, I find using the search increasingly frustrating.

Or is that just me?

Heh, oddly enough, the RCT can probably be better thought of as a way of explosively _decompressing_ a glider construction recipe. There are lots and lots of reasonable-sized recipes for constructing different patterns. When you apply the RCT trick to any of them, the cost in gliders always shrinks to 15, but the pattern's bounding box always expands to something gargantuan.

The Life pattern that most evokes DNA and self-replication is another megapattern from several years ago, the 0E0P metacell, which even has a visible "nucleus" for its "DNA":

Pisum sativum and Lathyrus sativus are not the same plant. Pisum sativum’s Lathyrus name is “Lathyrus oleraceus”

Lathyrus sativus is also referred to as the “white pea”. Because it’s white.

I know sativus and sativum look the same but that doesn’t mean they are the same plant.

Here’s an article with photos of Lathyrus sativus. [1]

If I may inquire, are you from india? If so, then yes, you probably do have to be more aware of the peas you are eating. From the articles I can find it sounds like Lathyrus sativus is banned in india but still somewhat commonly sold. That’s not the case where I’m at in the US. You cannot accidentally get Lathyrus sativus here because nobody is selling it.

Again, that culture was already there decades before Java came to be, COM, SOM, CORBA, Taligent, ER model, Booch method, Rational Unified Process, Structured systems analysis and design method. Yes, I am an old dog at this game.

Had Ruby and Rails been embraced at the same scale, you can bet there would exist a comparable flavour of Ruby EE.
Economist usually has some seriously bizarre articles about EU with a massive pro-USA bias when attempting any analysis. That ultimately made me stop reading it since it's not a very useful viewpoint if you actually live in Europe.

someone got a link to the photos in question?
OMFG ! I never really understood this or the use of all those tab managers [1]. For me, Tabs are just links. Why do you have to keep them open? Can't you just bookmark them ? (and then delete them later)

In my experience, most people involved in hiring are looking for negative signals, not positive ones. One "red flag" outweighs ten "green flags". GitHub allows you to collect green flags, but does not reveal your red flags (only the most anal retentive would red flag you for your personal pet projects' poor code quality). An interviewer's bad feeling in their stomach is to them more important than GitHub.
I was in your exact same situation and know the feeling of nausea-inducing existential dread all too well. I abused alcohol pretty heavily to cope.

I can’t believe I’m about to post this, and I’m almost certain it won’t be received well by this community, but stepping into a local Christian church could potentially give you all of the things you’re longing for. You don’t have to be unintelligent or believe in mysticism to be spiritually connected through Christianity.

I attempted to pursue Buddhism previously, but there wasn’t anything pulling me away from the void strongly enough to get me to keep going. If you step into a Christian church, you’re likely to find people who will spend energy pulling you away from the void.
How do you have so many tabs on mobile? I get desktop - I hover around 100 most days.
When CSS was first invented nobody had mobile devices in mind (they werent around yet). So now a lot of RWD was taped on top of it.

Actually GUI Design is challenging, many people dont find Desktop GUIs intuitive.

I don't know how to calculate the amount of possible shapes one can have with RGB on a 3x3 grid.
Ahh, a fellow cynic.

I was wondering exactly how she entered her presumably hand written notes from childhood into the GPT-3 playground.

Did she just retype all of them? Did she hand pick certain passages?

I ask because I have a feeling GPT-3 would return roughly similar results without the journals.
The Atlantic's front page is so often covered with outrage pieces I decided to stop looking at it. It felt like they were constantly spinning stories to be fearmongering or anger mongering.

There are good reasons out there to fear or be angry about but I just had to stop with The Atlantic.

They do still have some great posts. I just avoid reading their homepage and only go there if linked to a post.
> She never claims to be a 1) Photojournalist or 2) Reporter.

She might never explicitly claim that, but the page is clearly written in photojournalist style. A photo of snow leopard tracks with coordinates, talking about and documenting the process of her search and how she finally managed to snap a photo of the leopard.

Reading that page I certainly would think the images are unaltered (i.e. not stitched together).

That is not to say that the publications that took the photos were in the right. But the false impression is not entirely on them.
And who enforces international law? Are you gonna put on a blue helmet or make your kids do it?

There is no international government with enforcement power. International relations are governed by game theory, not law.

Samsung's browsers lets me customize its interface. I added the "close tab" button there. It has kept my tab count in check.
Unfortunately "text is the universal interface" is pretty much a lie, for the exact same reason that "bytes in memory are the universal interface" is a lie.

An interface has some kind of structure for the data (and operations) that it represents. That structure may be explicitly defined or left implicit, but it is always there. And in the vast majority of cases, that structure is more complex than "a single independent string".

That's where the whole "pipe text between processes" approach breaks down - in many cases, you aren't just dealing with a single string, but with some sort of structured data that just happens to be encoded as human-readable text. That it's "text" is entirely immaterial to the structure of the data, or how to work with it.

And that's how you end up with every CLI tool implementing its own set of subtly incompatible data parsers and stringifiers. This is strictly worse than having a standardized structural format to communicate in.
Any rate a central bank sets has winners and losers, with inflation at 10%, 90% of people are losing.

The fed is being the most "economically reasonable" of almost any central bank in the world right now. The UK central is afraid of matching the Fed because property owners would be screwed, and the UK economy is more dependent on real-estate. This is compounded by Brexit (a project of those property owners) which is driving import inflation that the central bank is also ignoring.

So I, as a pro-EU UK renter, am losing out for the benefit of UK property owners wealth and political projects. I'd still vastly prefer that over whatever you might imagine the alternative is.

A similar story can be told in the reverse direction: any rate is a political decision, and the losers have a story about how they're being oppressed.

The bank of england, fed, etc. are at least aware of the consequences of their decisions and have some level of accountability. Neither of which can be said for any automated system which acts completely ignorant of these matters.

This isnt feudalism, this is politics working the best it has in human history. If you imagine you could do better, I'd suggest that hell is much closer than heaven.
This is not a random source, and most importantly it is not a source without context.

If she had just posted these pics on her instagram with no comments I would be much more willing to say she never claimed anything and people just jumped on it. I probably wouldn't need to, however, because this whole thing wouldn't have happened in that case.

What she did is posting these pics on her website together with a whole story and presentation, with plenty of details and explanations, which makes her appear as a nature photographer on a difficult trip to spot a rare animal and who magically manages to find what she's looking for with a perfect setting, allowing her to snap incredible photography. Obviously such impressive photos will then circulate everywhere (and many people will ask to buy it).

Note that, despite the extensive description of her work for these pictures (i) there is not a single mention they are fake (prior to the disclaimer which was added later), (ii) the website is dedicated to those pictures and does not refer to her previous work on digital image (iii) before the deception was exposed she seemed very happy to be featured on newspaper since she included the article of the London Times.

My view is that this is genuine deceit, not just a person who published pictures without giving it much thoughts and simply found out afterwards that people misinterpreted it.

Both Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead, can be great creativity catalysts if read in your younger years. Though the rage fades as you age and come to grips with the reality and unfairness of life. They are still great books to read.

Fight Club is another great movie as well.
> For me and probably a lot of people, the first step towards getting my weight in control was to decide that losing weight was one of my top priorities, and not just something I think about once in a while.

I think it all comes down to the level of control you have over your effort and results. For some, it's a losing battle against long term mental health problems and coping mechanisms (like in my case), for others it's against physical conditions like thyroid and hormonal problems. Others it's just a simple case of 'I want to eat what I want'.

It is ultimately about making it a priority, but for this who aren't just eating because they want to, overcoming that problem becomes a whole bigger thing, and that's a much more insurmountable looking obstacle. That doesn't meant they can't achieve what they're looking for, else I wouldn't be trying myself. But it does mean the issue goes further, and support needs to look at the whole issue. Nutrition guides and workout programs don't resolve the deep seated mental blockers.
I thought this way at first, but I'm discovering the value of opening tabs and coming back to them later, as I'm reading. I try to stay focused on what I'm reading without following links, so a middle-click and move on. Then I come back to the links and skim what I'm interested in. Sometimes this leads to 20 tabs being opened from a single site. And I don't have time to do it all in one sitting so I leave them there and come back to it. Thankfully tab suspend is a thing.
If all curl did was "opening a socket and issuing a GET" it would be about a hundred lines long, including input validation and two kinds of errors.

It does a lot more than that, because the Internet isn't actually that simple. You should look at the first paragraph of https://curl.se rather than have me rehash it here.
>It's not like [...] and I'm too timid to try these things

No, the commenter said s/he was not too timid to try, it was the lack of desire to try new things that was the obstacle.
I think there will be a push back against the current censorship and coercion. After a while people just get fed up. The longer it takes the bigger the swing. I wouldn't be surprised to see DeSantis president or someone even "worse".
I'm not on /r/StableDiffusion and just by reading your comment beforehand, I managed to get 23 of 30. Not bad.
I am both happy to hear BBC talking about this, and also can't help but feel like they (alongside with the rest of MSM) are the main source of that problem (even bigger than social media, as they shape what social media landscape looks like).

We just went through the most censorious (and self-censorship inducing) few years in my living memory (I am almost 40), where people who we "asking questions" were called all kind of names by all kind of news outlets.
Cereal spikes your insulin and is a terrible way to start your day.
If you insist on "your newspaper" always to be right, you don't have many options, and not for long.
This is an interesting take. Having read the book, I find that following its instructions would only yield relationships with people who aren't necessarily worth your time. Smart people are usually rather adept at detecting manipulative behavior. I concur, the best use for the book is the one you described.
I thought I was a lifer back when I worked in telco. I had a 10+ year career when Vodafone 360 happened (look it up, Vodafone tried to invent their own iPhone/Android ecosystem atop LiMo - unsurprisingly, it did not end well) and everything I had invested in career-wise became meaningless overnight and turned into the longest, hardest slog of my life (I spent 2 years trying to fix what I could of it).

Then I moved into a local telco and spent a few more years there until it was acquired by a buy-and-hack operation that is still trying to sell the pieces, and I moved to my current employer.

It has been seven years now, and every couple of years something major happens and I end up moving internally, sometimes on my own but lately because I'm asked to follow someone into a new org to rebuild it.

I'm in my 50s now, am fully remote, match most of your list (except I have a 4-6 hour offset from most of my team), and yet I don't really feel like a lifer because I want to do stuff that I find _gratifying_, and most of the tech industry is just running around after shiny things without considering the outcomes.

So every now and then I sit down and talk to people to assess what I should be doing next.

Right now, _everyone_ is telling me to stick it out given the current situation, but the engineer in me is itching to do different things - stuff that I might not be able to do in the current context, no matter how "comfortable" it is.

But the main point I would like to make is that you should be aware the world moves without you, and the situation may change drastically in only a few weeks.
I have not experienced this at all. Last year around this time I upgraded from an iPhone 7 to a 12 simply to get better camera lenses for a trip rather than buying a new camera and lugging that around. The 7 is still sitting on my desk and works fine, was going to get trade in credit somewhere or donate it.

Also going to throw this out there (and I'm preparing for the commentary "you're saying don't use it herr derr") - are you on it a lot? I've observed my teens usage patterns and sometimes they are habitually just pulling the phone out and looking at the lock screen. This happens multiple times in minutes and the on/off of the screen is going to burn battery faster with no real usage. You may also have apps running in the background that use wifi/cellular, and that will drain the battery faster too. If you changed those settings to only use the network when the app is open then it will use less battery. Yeah you won't get updates when you aren't looking at those apps but, is that such a crucial thing?

You can take the phone somewhere and have them replace the battery for far much less than the cost of a new phone.
I'm not sure why the blame would rest on the political side. Yes, they are the ones who would ratify the treaty, but I'm sure they would be happy to do so unless the DOD was whispering in their ear (or shouting) that it would damage their warfighting capabilities. Maybe there are some special interests too but I'm skeptical the industry is big enough to have that kind of pull, whereas SecDef telling a Senator on SASC not to do this is probably enough to make a treaty a nonstarter.
Meh. I don't know how I'm supposed to phrase that in a way which won't offend, but my gut is you don't care and you're just being needlessly argumentative and annoying.

Let's go with "people who've had less opportunity to try novel ingredients and flavors". Does that work for you rendaw?
There's an even easier way of going from kg to lbs. than gut feel: double the kg and then add a tenth of that value. Voilà.
I’m guessing he’s referring to Craig Federighi.

Tailwind always reminds me very strongly of how everything used nested HTML tables for layout in the early-ish days of the web.
Is there a stigma around this? Nutrition and weight loss are both constantly advertised and regularly praised. Where is it considered shameful to see a nutritionist?
I really like this mixed spectrum suggestion; it seems rare these days for people to do that, but perhaps I'm cynical and taking too much from online shouty types.
Without devaluing your experience I've never really felt there was a stigma associated with working with nutritionists and even doctors on your weight and health.

On the contrary, it feels like the kind of thing people from higher socioeconomic groups do. Of course you work with a nutritionist, personal trainer, psychologist and life/business coach. Who has the time to keep track of that all yourself when you can pay someone else to do it.

It's all a matter of framing.

I had a job for 2 years where I had the write the same program in both a dynamically typed language and a statically typed language around every week.

On Monday morning, I wrote the dynamic typed version of the program. Then until Thursday afternoon wrote the statically typed version of the program. Then the rest of the week was writing tests that compare the output of both versions of the program.

After 2 years of doing it, I think I would know. If that sounds weird to you, it's called Prototyping, shocking that someone might prototype something in a scripting language designed for prototyping, I know.

The two classic examples are Eve Online with their "Python is our secret weapon". They used Python to out develop their competition. The other example is Discord who used Python to get to market quickly. Then they used Rust to reduce their operating costs by increasing the code's performance.

Python adding type annotations is an unfortunate problem associated with too many people coming in from statically typed languages. The problem with success and all that.

Statically typed Python codebases tend to be awful because the developers don't realise that they need to break the codebase down into smaller programs.

JavaScript is not a very good language due to the way it was designed and built and pretty much anything is an improvement to it.
Not any particular book but: Studying mathematics and physics has greatly improved my thinking and problem solving abilities.

Already a semester or two (of real analysis, linear algebra, experimental physics, theoretical physics) would get one very far I think.

As for books, https://theoreticalminimum.com/ might be a great starting point.
I'd argue that this is like saying "not sharpening the saw, but cutting wood makes you a better lumberjack"

For example, learning sorting by doing is a waste of time, it will take you years to "experiment" yourself into quicksort.

Learning and applying what you learned is the key.
> one of the best Vodka's i ever had

So you've never had a better mixture of 60% H2O and 40% ethanol? Because that's what's left after 4x distillation followed by filtration, as claimed in the description.

I'm always baffled by people swooning over "good vodka". You're drinking industrial alcohol, diluted with distilled water! There's no flavor left.
