It is definitely true that there are narcissists out there who call others narcissists.

A famous one in our sphere is the YouTuber "TechLead", who referred to his wife as a narcissist while unwittingly revealing his own clear cut narcissism by describing many of his behaviours in that relationship (like having her have a GPS tracker on her phone, demanding she did certain things for him because he said she should, like investing his money when she had no interest in investment, and making out he did nothing but right in the relationship). Turns out his braggadocios personality in his videos wasn't much of an act -- he was merely exaggerating his natural thinking, which is why his "character" came so easy for him.

In my own case, my mother was especially fond of hissing that everyone else was "selfish", while being herself a profoundly selfish and self-centered human being in every interaction she had with anyone (she was severely damaged due to a nasty childhood).

This is because narcissists project, transferring all responsibility onto others, in order to keep the pain of feeling shame away from their fragile senses of self. This includes projecting the mental illness itself, which is where their tendency to gaslight comes from.

But I think a narcissist using the very specific word "narcissist" to describe others is quite rare, because it's a bit too close to home. It has a very specific definition and presentation, and a narcissist is scared of anything that could affect their sense of self -- and an undiagnosed mental disorder is a particularly severe example of that, so it's dangerous for them.

I'd say for the most part that subreddit is a force for good. Even if there's people in there who themselves refuse to accept responsibility, its reach gives those who are still in the dark a chance to discover the truth as to where they've come from.
Funny its the places you'd expect to have a high cost of living.

Fruits and vegetables tend to have their own inbuilt wrapping that protects them from dirt, moisture, etc. Whereas an oat bar or protein bar is often quite porous and would get impregnated with dirt and stuff very quickly. It's an absurd comparison to make.

He spent a full day* writing unit tests to cover half of the important cases, then a month debugging why the code still doesn't work, but you think the initial day was the waste of time?

* He doesn't say how much time he actually spent, maybe he spent a whole week writing his (poor) unit tests. Still, that part was the waste of time?
My proposal also uses [] as an owned type.

It only changes the behavior of what happens after the program has already failed. People want different behaviors, depending on their environment, and like having the choice.

Cambodia also tried to devalue the US dollar in favor of its own currency.

The last time I visited Cambodia, 1000 local currency was $1, but if you used a $2 note it was worth 25 cents. So toktok drivers would try pay you in $2 so they can offload them, but would refuse to take them as they had no value to them.

It can be a bit of a challenge as it introduces many concepts at the same time, however it seems like many enjoy Nix once they get comfortable. Once the investment has been made, you also have a far more scalable setup than use-specific scripts.

Feel free to check out one of the MyNixOS demos - hopefully having a working starting point and being able to modify a config without writing Nix can make it easier for beginners.
My biggest gripe with Youtube right now is how they've left channel subscription just as a long list. I have hundreds of subscriptions, and they are clearly around a few of my interests...
It’s really this all the way down. Even if your a top worker, manager, or sometimes even a founder. The next rung up the ladder is taking so much more of the pie that it just doesn’t feel worth it. I know of a major tech co that will only give out 10% if you work your but off and get promoted. You’ll never see a raise otherwise.

Ironically, with the advent of leaf code as the sole yardstick for measuring incoming engineers we’ve also removed any incentive for “working for the next job”.
I'm so happy when people bring up the "...wtf" side of Deming, in context of his more useful contributions. Hero worship is bullshit. A person who has really great ideas also has really crap ideas, because nobody is perfect. We should be more comfortable humanizing people, so we don't get trapped in the cargo cult or appeal to authority, and so we can accept more ideas from people who don't look like geniuses.

All that said: I find it so fascinating that his focus was on statistics and science, when so much of his advice is actually holistic observations from experience, and not all the result of scientific experiments or research. There is both a science and an art to making an organization (read: a group of people doing organized work) work well. You really need both, because people are, unfortunately, not science experiments, but weird blobs of meat and emotions interacting in an unfathomably complex system of systems of systems.
The cryptocurrency ideas did not age well if I understood them correctly. Though I did appreciate that he does state the national banking systems only had legal ability to do things that really can’t change anything in the status quo - it’s quite similar to what Piketty talks about in Capital and Ideology.
I have no idea.

I don't think you can use too much tape. Suggestions that you can break fittings with too much tape are almost certainly incorrect - with either plastic or metal.

I usually do 5-ish wraps with the thick yellow tape - and that is true with schedule 40 PVC, plain old galvy, or with small stainless fittings.

I am wasting tape, and I know it, and I have no problem with that - and neither do the fittings.
CA doesn’t prosecute major crimes like burglary, shoplifting or drug possession. How many people have gotten ticketed for jaywalking beyond the rare exception?

I jaywalk all the time, even in front of cops and nothing happened.

This is like legalizing pot in CA. It’s just updating the law to reflect enforcement.

Per the article: "Seven students from kindergarten to Year 6 attend Hermidale Public School". That would put the oldest kids at around 10 or 11 years old.

It's fair to say that they would have difficulties as a commercial farming operation, but for a bunch of little kids trying to fund a trip to the beach it's quite a good result. I think we can forgive them needing a bit of assistance to get their harvest in.

Having a quick look at the map, Hermidale to Sydney is about ~600km / 373 miles, or an ~8 hour drive each way, so this has been quite a good fund-raiser in that regard.

> They'd make more working at McDonalds.

I would imagine that, aside from the difficulties in hiring children so young, they would lose quite a bit of money on travel - the McDonalds map puts the nearest restaurant at Dubbo, which is a ~2h20m drive each way from Hermadale.

In addition to this, macOS has the following bizarre behavior with notifications.

If any one application emits multiple notifications (say, several new calendar items), they pop up in a group -- but this is hard to see, since they're all stacked on top of one another. There is an X at the top-left corner, just like all other notifications. When you go to click the X, the group suddenly expands, and the X changes into a "Clear All" button!! 80% of the time this results in me closing a large stack of notifications without realizing they even existed.

Science is about basic understanding. Monkey see, monkey do.

Input A yields outcome B.

We get that understanding this way:

I love that whole series of lectures. They are his Cornell introduction to physics lectures and are a gold mine of basic scientific type thinking.

So far, science has not increased our knowledge of truth. That's damn tough to come by.

What it has done is very significantly expanded our understanding of the world. Our theories are far more predictive in far more contexts than ever!

But, that is it! Monkey see, monkey do.

Engineering is all about applying that understanding to solve problems in robust, efficient, safe ways.
I don't think Python is sloppy.

One and only one question:

Can it limit video search to only the channels in my subscription list?

Youtube seems to have had this feature at one point but it was removed. The only option is to search each channel specifically (a tedious task if you hundreds of channel subscriptions).

If you can provide this incredibly useful but imposible-to-do-manually functionality (search all subscriptions), you'll have a UVP that will make people like me immediately switch.
Lived in Michigan my entire life but I was unaware about the Coast Guard mission to deliver Christmas trees to Chicago.

Coast Guard seems to be the least known service branch. When I was in college I spent a Christmas holiday in Washington D.C. with a classmate and through our ham radio connections got a tour of the Coast Guard headquarters. I have never forgot it, met some very impressive folks.

to your actual point, I dont think there is anything inherently necessary for exchanges to make price discovery. people do not need to custody their assets there for more than a few minutes, and properly run exchanges (not overleveraged, solvent) do this just fine

OTC desks never custody and are okay examples of this

Taking one of the few recent-ish mainstream phones on this list since the subthread is about smartphone sensors: Samsung Galaxy S7 has an ISO range of 50–800 and basically all the noise values (measured in log2(electrons)) are between 2 and 3. There is a downward trend from 50 to ~300, above that it's all around 2. Other phones have similarly shaped graphs with different absolute values.

That sounds like the opposite of what GP (CWuestefeld) described. Am I misinterpreting the graph?

Lower sounds better to me, so the downward trend on a scale called "Input-referred read noise" sounds like it is tuning the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) on the sensor rather than just multiplying the sensor's output value, and it stops doing that above ~300 ISO. GP described that it would be a linear multiplier up until (for many cameras, not specifically smartphones) ~1600 ISO and after that it would be tuning the SNR. Do smartphones behave differently for some reason or am I misunderstanding something?

(It doesn't seem as though the absolute value says anything about the quality by the way, as a 10th gen Apple phone has a much lower value on this "noise" scale than a 12th gen one. The page does remark "raw values are not appropriate for comparing camera models because they are not adjusted for area", so this is probably that.)

One of the things I wondered was: if everyone generally works Mon-Fri 9-5pm. Then a large part of consumers are at work while everyone is hoping to meet their needs.

Maybe a roughly equal split of Mon-Thurs and Tues-Fri business will allow more freedom for consumers to consume on Mondays and Fridays.

Thus benefitting the precious GDP numbers by which everything seems to be judged.

I am also trying to figure out modern web development trends. I found helpful those 2 courses:

You do not need to watch all courses materials but can pick the parts that you are interested in. You can also look at Udemy for other webdev courses too.

Keep in mind that at Udemy there are very often sales and courses prices are around 9~20$. If price is above it just wait some time for sale.
It's nice to be able to collect your data and then do analysis on it in one language. Data work is mostly about getting your data in a place where you can work with it. Rarely are you handed a dataset that is shiny and ready for analysis or regression ...

Python also has the benefit of tooling, where you can use tools you're familiar with and still work on most codebases.
Ew. Glad the article ended on a no. Coffee at home is not expensive enough to justify such madness. A pound of coffee makes about 7 8 "cup" (5oz) pots. I tend to get 4.5 mugs of coffee out of an 8 cup pot.

Even overpriced Starbucks at $10/12oz (~$13/lb) means that each mug of coffee is still only costing me around $0.35.

I'll brew with fresh grounds, thanks. You can _always_ add water if you want warm brown caffeinated water.

It's not primarily the individual threads that I fear, it's the systemic effects of having them be more dominant. HN exists most of all for the quieter, deeper, more out-of-the-way finds that would be the first to get excluded under such a regime. That would really be an existential risk to HN.

If that’s the case I can at least see why it would be considered the government’s fault.

Maybe it’s just that I don’t like the “leadership” thing. It seems like code. If you’re mad they lowered imports, say that. If you’re mad they did get domestic production up fast enough, say it. If you’re mad they didn’t increase imports when it was clear the domestic production wasn’t doing enough? Say it.

“Lack of leadership” just seems to mean “you did a bad job or screwed up” most of the time. But I’m a way that is acceptable to some hypothetical political speech censor. Like how they couldn’t say ‘pregnant’ on I Love Lucy and had to use euphemisms.
This still happens and it's the absolute worst, it gets worse the more apps you have. It's also just incredibly strange how it choose who to show in the share menu and there's no way to exclude apps.

Riddle me this, why does stereo mixing done for foreign language versions sound much better? I suspect some combination of you know, actually bothering to mix down to 2.0 rather than 5.1 and hoping for a miracle, or audio mixing overall simply being done in a way that emphasises dialogue over the music score or background sounds.

When one says bitcoin is not inflationary, they mean that the supply does not inflate. You are accurate that bitcoin's purchasing power can wane aka deflate. In my opinion and many others it is moot because everything deflates. As far as we know, there is not a single thing in existence that is void of inflation by your usage of the term. Therefore, we move beyond that version of the definition to the practical and useful definition which is that it cannot be added to numerically.

It’s about cash flow - plenty of fundamentally profitable companies go bust because of short-term cash flow issues, so if you can give yourself an extra two months leeway from a financial perspective that can be huge for survival.

Another simple way to look at it: If I am buying 10,000 widgets for £80 each and expect to sell them for £100 across the next three months, I either need to have £80,000 sitting in the bank that I then tie-up in phones, or I agree to pay £80,000 in three months (maybe it is then £85,000 due to credit terms) but then I can sell the phones before I buy them.

It’s a minor example, but if you imagine you are a growing retailer and employ this strategy you can grow much faster than another retailer who doesn’t (and has to tie their cash up in stock).

Above examples are very simplistic because it’s about stock, but same logic can be applied to other purchases - most cash spend a business makes should presumably deliver some sort of value, so paying later allows some of the value to be realised before payment is required.

This is why cash flow is king.

> I'm saying that the homeless problem cannot be fixed while one is pretending that drug addiction is not the cause of most of it.

Drug addiction is, in fact, not the cause of most of it, abd ignoring the homeless problem is, in terms of actual real policy failures, more of a problem for dealing with drug addiction than ignoring drug addiction is for dealing with the homelessness problem (they are intertwined amd both underaddressed, but homelessness is far more underaddressed in the context of addressing addiction than vice versa.)
> Apple maps enrages me for doing this. When you first open the app it like shows a screenshot of what you were looking at last time while it loads.

This has started to really irritate me since it feels like every application in Apple's mobile ecosystem does this. My device has SIX GIGABYTES OF MEMORY[0]. Why do you need to swap everything out of RAM almost instantaneously?

What grinds my gears the most is that state isn't preserved. Apple Maps and Music are the absolute worst for this. Music will show the same screenshot and then just unceremoniously dump me to the "Listen Now" or "Browse" screen (it seems random which) and completely disregard whatever playlist or album I was in. The last song I played and track position are kept but good damn luck getting back to the spot I was in--particularly which playlist--before the app got put on ice.

That screenshot is just a point of "hahaha nope" frustration.
