In my experience it can potentially help you unstuck a little bit better than jogging for two reasons. As you are approaching the question you are interested in systematically from multiple directions, it gives you more perspectives. Also, the symbolism in the cards appear to be efficient in encouraging new ways of thinking. That was Jung’s idea as well: the symbolism is closely related to certain deep patterns of our thinking, and that in itself is helpful.

You are asking how many people use the Tarot cards in this manner. Firstly, the number is non-zero because I am doing it, and I know others who do it. Secondly, as I do not believe the cards are magical, I believe everybody who is getting some meaningful results are using the Tarot cards in this way, even if they are not conscious about it.

I think the question you really want to ask is that how many people believe the carda have some supernatural powers. I don’t really know, but I would suspect that most people using them. This is partly because the reputation they have, and strong opposition to the cards just increases this reputation.

You ask whether people understand that they are ”trading with the occult”. I do not understand what you are asking. It appears that you so mot believe in the supernatural. If you did, I would get the impression that you think anything occult is really bad (i.e. from the devil) and god-fearing people should avoid it. But if one does not believe in the supernatural, then ”occult” is just a word.

Unit of Measure confusion across varied supply chains is a real problem.

Here is an anecdote from past experience. This is from the healthcare sector. Our client builds and installs systems for supply chain management in hospitals in North America and Europe. Think of hospitals ordering syringes, needles, gloves, implants etc., There are a zillion suppliers providing tons of SKUs and products will have multiple vendors supplying them (for supply risk management). Each product from a supplier also has multiple variants -- for eg: gloves could be in sizes Medium and Large etc.,

At the point of ordering (eg: the nurses' station) the hospital would have setup a mapping of the logical product SKU (eg: Medium Nitrile gloves) to two or three product item codes specific to each vendor. The hospital's material management system takes care of the local inventory management and reordering.

While most of the ordering happens through electronic systems, there are still orders originating through <gasp>faxes</gasp>! It is a small fraction of the total orders placed, but it is non-zero and fulfilling them is critical. Many times, the nurses maintain thick binders full of product catalog listings and ordering procedures specific to the hospital's preferred/certified vendors. Most of the time, the exception process is to hand fill a form and fax the order to the vendor designated fax number. (Yes, it still happens in 2022/23).

In the backend, the faxed order has to be entered (ie., entered into the supplier's ERP system). Our company was doing the order entry for these faxed orders.

Once we received an order from a hospital in a small European country. The order was for "baby blankets" or something similar that is used in a Neonatal ICU. Long story short, due to a two character error in translating the unit of measure from "EA" (i.e., Each = single unit) the hospital's unloading dock received two truck full of cases of baby blankets, enough to exceed the total annual birth-rate of that small European country.

True story.

> This might actually be more in demand today than when Mr. Fuller originally invented it.

We're also some 4.5× more people if I remember historic figures correctly, and presumably the number of households increased even more. Particularly with urbanization as well as lower transportation costs, might be a lot easier to find buyers even if the per-capita demand were to be equal or lower.

I'm intrigued enough to want to try one out if I can reasonably get to it (perhaps as part of a bigger trip), though as someone who doesn't plan to own a home in the next decade or more (I'm 30) I'm not really in the market.
I think that the general point being made here is that C’s general execution model, as you call it, really is just a PDP-like computer because that is what they had when making C.
In pedophiles the "object of attraction" can't ever consent, so merely wanting to have sex with it is already giving in to thoughts of non-consentual sex. Whereas heterosexual men can be interested in sex with women but not in rape (and most are).

To map it out:

heterosexual men:

(a) interested (or acting) on consentual sex with adult women: fine

(b) interested (or acting) non-consentual sex with adult women: bad

pedos:

(a) interested (or acting) non-consentual sex with children: bad

It's not symmetrical, as there's no (b) option in the second case. Pedophilia is always about non-consentual sex (that is rape), whether acted upon or not.

(In heterosexual men rape is mostly about power. In pedos, it can be about both power and desire, but that desire is still by definition a rape desire, as it can't ever be consentual).

>I see no Cathedrals, no beautiful songs, no art, no science, no entire civilizations built to the honor of ... nothing.

Not believing in God isn't equivalent to a belief in nothing. Of course, plenty of songs, art and literally all of science have been created outside of the religious sphere. It seems regressive to the point of being archaic to dismiss the validity of all human effort not explicitly done in "honor" of the divine.

You want a Cathedral built in honor of "nothing?" Have the Hubble Space Telescope. As far as I'm concerned no gargoyle or arch wrought from stone or stained glass or Biblical prose can even compare to the transcendent - and wholly material - beauty of the Hubble Deep Field photo.
A couple of years ago, there was a discussion thread in AskHistorians of "How do you feel about Dan Carlin, accuracy-wise?": https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/k6jyx7/how_d...

>...Saying that "AskHistorians thinks Hardcore History is really innacurate" is completely false.

I think the overall opinion is quite a bit more nuanced than that and in general historians appreciate anyone who helps get people more interested in history. Though, in terms of accuracy, as one commenter wrote:

>...Not only doesn't Carlin do sufficient research with the appropriate sources, but he tends to approach his episodes with an endpoint in mind, and then focuses on ensuring his research fits that narrative rather than building a narrative from the research.

I believe the fix for that is to chuck a bucket of water through it once in a while.

(HTML auto formatting and validation, better syntax).
Components were a thing before heex, I wouldn't say they are taking center stage now, there is no rewrite required there, you either use Component, LiveComponent or LiveView. When to use which is very simple as the their name indicate.

Instead of dismissing things off-hand because they don't fit your assumptions, you may find it useful to spend a few minutes coming up with a thoughtful and critical response. Doing so might not only contribute meaningfully to discussion but it might let you work through how some of those assumptions may not hold up to real scrutiny.
You are correct, it eats battery; it lasts about 8 hours or so on li-ion. If you look down the lens and move it around, you can really see the mechanical movement in action.

It has two operating modes.

1, it stays on as long as the button is depressed. This is good for quick looks.

2, you press it once and it stays on until either (a) 5 minutes pass, or (b) you press it again, or (c) you put the binoculars down (it knows when they are vertical, like hanging around your neck.)
If you provide a unique service or talent to a corporation, it is incentivized to use technology to empower you. This lifts your worth, and your financial situation.

If you provide a replicable service or talent to a corporation, it is incentivized to use technology to make you generic. This makes you easily replaceable, lowers your economic value i.e. your wages, and reduces management complexity.

In both cases, the corporation is incentivized to use technology to reduce the number of people it needs.

It is like a vertically oriented barbell, but with the bar getting longer, the balls at the end getting smaller. The people at the top are fewer but wealthier. Those at the bottom are more in number, but also often getting fewer, and definitely getting poorer (relatively).

The bar is automation. The implicit goal is for the two balls to shrink to the point that there is only the bar, only automation.

This isn't due to politics, or morals, or even greed. It is just an extension of natural selection.

Social solutions need to take into account more than just capitalism - which after all, is only part of the ecosystem of life - while still keeping the benefits of capitalism.

--

For instance, if untapped natural resources were considered a joint inheritance of all humans, then everyone would inherit at least a minimal base level income, providing a base line level of financial security and leverage. Resource extractors would bid to use resources, with the result of their bidding shared by all.

Charity is an alternative, but it doesn't present a clear structure for operating, and is notoriously difficult to rationalize consistently with capitalism. Charity is hard to scale and maintain without conflict, corruption and gaps in coverage where it is needed.

Whereas, equal shares of the inheritance of the resources, that the universe bequeathed to all of us, is a stronger, more orderly, non-coercive, structure for sharing wealth.

--

Taxing real estate based on the land, not the structure, recognizes that land is a limited availability common resource and treats land ownership more like renting, with the proceeds shared by all.

Since structures are not taxed, development of land is not disincentived with greater taxes, making it cheaper to increase land's productivity (i.e. adding and improving structures for businesses, more homes, etc.). And since unused land is taxed as heavily as used land, it becomes unattractive as a financial hedge (no longer useful like gold, or perhaps bitcoin), lowering non-productive financial-instrument demand for land.

Thus making land both more productive AND affordable.

The road ahead is going to be rocky, but there are ways it can be made smoother.
This - it's really encoding the authors' model with some magic values in there. Not even ethics, just bad stats.
The correct step would be back out the raw proportion of black population, rather than the output of that quadratic model.

The Year in Quiet Quitting
Assuming (1) all college students enter at 18 exactly, and (2) all college students are enrolled for exactly the nominal time of their degree program, and (3) the number of students in each year of age is equal and enrollment rates are constant year to year, 63% of students attending college, and 40% enrollment of 18-24 year olds implies 37.8% attend 2 year programs and 25.2% attend 4 year programs. Now, the actual numbers are different than that because the assumptions are all three false, but the point is, that there is nothing inconsistent with the 63% immediate enrollment rate and 40% of students in the 18-24 year age band being currently enrolled.
In any case, you could probably tie up the dispute in courtroom process for more than 24 hours.
It's not a number. It's a process of generating an unbounded series of numbers. Then, what kind of infinity do are we talking about. Monotonic number series interleave odd and even numbers. The series of all positive odd numbers will by definition generate odd numbers. And so on.
>it's not something that would be difficult to replace

That's very naive. It's just not something that hard to imagine to replicate. Why do you think a 26 year old project exists, if it's something that could be replaced by a 100 lines something? Is the author stupid, or does he just include a lot of cruft and boilerplate? Are Apple and all the other users wrong?

Just generic spoofing. Like you pointed out watching for google.com.evil instead of google.com, and theres also email phishing where they try to replicate a companies email and get you to click links, etc. Theres so many ways to spoof things, and I can't imagine it being impossible to spoof oAuth. It wouldn't affect people with 2FA enabled, but for the majority of users with poor security practices or are not tech-savy it would do harm.

Just off the top of my head I can think of one possible way: Send an email pretending to be a popular company, with some excuse to need an oAuth (like "Your oAuth for ImportantApp is expiring, please renew access. Act fast so you don't lose access to ImportantFeature!" Or "Our policies are changing. Please confirm oAuth to authenticate your acceptance to continue using ImportantApp") It doesnt need to be fancy, just enough to fool people who don't know that oAuth is not relevant to the email. Then they click a link in the spoofed email to the host server, with a spoofed copy of the target website. oAuth isnt going to suggest the credentials because the url is wrong, so don't ask for the credentials to the target website. Instead ask them to verify access of the website on your fake oAuth, then to confirm your decision with their gmail password. Then say it worked and redirect them to the real site. You already have their email, but now their email password as well. Automate this with bots, and then you have tons of peoples 2FA, since most peoples 2FA for website log ins is their email. Next you just do the "I forgot my username" which always asks for an associated email. Then "I forgot my password" which, on unsecure sites, also uses the email. Boom. Free accounts.

Obviously there are ways to secure yourself from any basic attack like the one I just described, but for the general public that trusts tech to be flawless without their concerted effort, traps are just a matter of someone with time and motivation to make them. No trap is flawless, but there are enough people for that to not matter.
Try pyflakes, it will find a majority of those.
Software development and even IT are a vast superset of building crappy websites with trendy and often incomprehensible frameworks. One can imagine so many areas of software that don’t involve these at all, e.g. embedded work or HPC. Not wanting to build web sites isn’t necessarily the same as not wanting to do software development.

Zeiss 20x60s Review (2021)
Noticed mostly the same. I still think it's a win, our kid seems much happier and more outgoing than a lot of others that end up over. Further, she tends to find friends with similar minded kids, I guess because they don't have much in common with someone glued to their phones.

I've had to actually ban kids from our house for their shitty attitudes and/or social media addiction, which may or may not be related. I don't care if I'm too strict, if you try to entice a 9 year old into sexy dancing for TikTok, you ain't coming back. Ever.
I'm hoping to see more patterns in the forms space. I spent 18 months building a product in LiveView (didn't work out in the end) and complex forms were one of the most difficult things.

I got really good at creating them in the end, but it was all homegrown patterns that I don't think I'd want to push on others.

My favorite (and fairly simple) pattern was emitting an event from server to client to get the client to send it's entire form state to the server. That was my escape hatch because it worked inside of any component structure.
No surprise about this acquisition and it is another smart move by Meta. I believe that Oculus is going to be a critical part of Meta in the coming years.

The AR glasses race is mainly between Meta and Apple. Even if Apple takes first place, Meta is gearing up to have both the hardware and software for second place, thanks to Oculus R&D.

But of course, they have the FTC to worry about which may ruin their plans.
To be explicit, the outrageousness of this GM policy is that it forces the customer to pay in advance for GM's marketing promotion costs and then some for product optional features they may have no interest in.

An acceptable marketing approach to this problem would be for GM to make these features free for an initial period of one month or one year. After the initial period was up, interested customers could pay for the feature(s) to be continued.

This way GM would not be perceived as cheating customers interested in their base product, but not in their extra-cost optional products they are having trouble selling in an honest and non-coercive way.

This policy is a big mistake. The Board of Directors should remove GM's CEO for this and other bad business judgements.
The first woman I fell in love with (but not the first woman I was with) could only get off via oral, so I learned that one early.

Fortunately for me, she was only so happy to return the favor orally, and at great length (but rarely to completion... I couldn't exactly complain, though, she was HOT!)

Ended up with one of the rare birds who could actually cum via PIV sex, and what do you know, she's not as into the oral... sigh
From the undertone of your question, you sound like one of the worst supervisors a "direct report" could have to face.

I imagine what you value most in them is fear-induced sychophantic loyalty.

For starters, I always saw my colleagues, regardless of where they sat on the org chart, as my "collaborators."
I prefer an agricultural metaphor. I think interesting ideas are planted and nurtured rather than manufactured. If you seeds for interesting ideas by engaging with the thoughts of others (may be through talking or reading), make sure to sleep well and take care of your body, then you'll think interesting thoughts and if you enjoy writing like I do, most likely be inspired to write about them.

But as Ryan is suggesting, having things to write about is a side-effect or consequence of minding your "garden" (to avoid confusion, this is not a nod to Candide).

It's trivial to prove that this is true for most software. Luckily modern OS's are able to measure and report various performance stats for processes.

You can open some software such as htop right now, and it will show how much CPU time each process on your system has actually used. On my system the vast majority of processes spend the majority of their time doing nothing.

Is it true for all software? Of course not! Something like my compositor for example spends a lot of time doing software compositing which is fairly expensive, and it shows quite clearly in the stats that this is true.
