That's a good point, but then, what does said junior dev accomplish with those slides, that they couldn't do without them? It's not like slides are improving communications much (some would say they're hindering it[0]), not relative to e.g. sketches on a flip chart.

I think this is another example of a problem I'm hinting at: the reason said junior dev has to make slides is because they can. If their only option was to ask the in-house design team for help, nobody would expect them to show up with pretty-ish slides. But, because PowerPoint makes it easy for anyone to do slides on their own, everyone now has to - much like Word making it easy to write reports and letters means everyone now has to.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion was the last release of the golden years. You could argue it was actually 10.9 Mavericks, but that's the release that introduced the annoying notification every time you disconnected a USB drive. Either way, OS X 10.10 Yosemite was when shit started hitting the fan- that's when they started rewriting OS X in Swift, an Apple-designed language which is somehow WORSE than Objective-C.

As a software engineer, I find all three ecosystems (macOS, Windows, Linux) far from perfect, but the only one that ALLOWS me to do all the things I want and need to do, is Linux.

`nom` is incredible. I used to iterate input by line, make up regex with capture groups, and do something ad hoc if the input isn't line by line. It gets quite ugly, if the input has multiple parts, or multiple lines as one part.

Now I just take the whole stdin and pass it into a parser written in `nom`. If it's line-by-line, it's a trivial: `separated_list1(tag("\n"), parse_line)`, not more difficult than iterating through lines, parsing each, and combining them. If the input isn't line-by-line, a proper parser is way more cleaner than anything I've done before.

And there has never been a performance problem for me. (To be fair, AOC doesn't have truly giant input size)

It’s small in the grand scheme of things. But when I want something from Amazon that I don’t need immediately I leave it in my cart. I’ll build up my cart for a few days/weeks so that more of the items shop together.
I didn’t say that technology can’t fix this, I’m just saying that you’re talking about a complex, physical, adaptive, human in-the-loop system. It doesn’t get much harder than that. You can automat every single part of it, but there’s still human passengers involved so it only takes one asshole to cause a gate delay. There’s no such thing as a perfect system for this. There is better, but there’s not perfect.
While the consequences of easier communications when you get in trouble (or just get scared/tired) in the outdoors isn't intuitively obvious, SAR people I've chatted with generally seem to think that better comms is a net positive in that people can communicate before things get really dicey.

ADDED: There are also perhaps more common situations like going off the road in a snowstorm.

Delta’s irregular ops procedures have always treated me right (in comms and in performance) and their app is pretty decent.

If I’ve had a missed connection en route, I’ll generally land and the app tells me what they’ve already rebooked me onto, but I have a choice of many different alternatives (usually) and can pick among them without cost and without waiting in a call queue.
Doesn't just putting the cards in order of concepts essentially accomplish this? When I was doing Anki I adjusted my new card rate so my retention rate stayed above 90%. If you do it this way then your chances of getting stuck in a certain areas of the dependency graph (if you were to model it) is pretty low. If it does end up happening then do some extra study on those concepts outside of SRS. This way you don't have to model the actual dependency graph.

You really shouldn't be doing all your study in SRS anyways because so called "flashcard blindness" (i.e. only being able to recall the concepts in the context of your SRS program) is a real thing.

Furthermore, in my experience, what really made Anki effective for me was to write my new cards just in time. Meaning no pre-made decks except for something like the primitives of what you are studying (i.e. symbol names, alphabets, extreme base level concepts, etc). When you write your cards just in time you can really connect the context of what you are learning to the concept. From this perspective it really seems strange to build an entire ontology based on dependency graphs of a concept you haven't even learned yet!
I've realized that getting even mildly drunk makes me super depressed 24-36 hours after I've stopped drinking. I don't feel physically bad, just a depressed frustrated with life and the people around me - state.

On the point that not every presentation needs a deck, I completely agree with you. So if an individual is abusing slides (or another tool) "just because" - that's bad but perhaps a different problem than what we started to talk about.

On the flip side, I've occasionally been really impressed by the quality of decks I've seen from developers. Not talking about looks-wise (that helps but especially not holding devs to doing that perfectly) but to actually using these materials to support their point and drive results. And I feel like that wouldn't have happened before.

I think our argument is essentially this: in the olden days, cars came with chauffeurs. Now, most people drive themselves. On one hand, that's an artifact of how many more people can afford a car. On the other hand, they can drive themselves to a stupid place. Both are true.
Maybe you're not aware how much cheaper data is in other countries. Here in Brazil, unlimited Whatsapp + Voice + 5Gb costs 8$/month.

That’s the claim, yes, but there’s nothing to back it up. What makes her think that GoDaddy bought the domain and not like literally anyone else on the planet?
That theory doesn't fit any of the evidence, though. What we see in the first few decades of the movement is group that's come from a common source and is starting to split off as they argue over in what light their leader should be seen and how people should follow his teaching. It seems bizarre that the followers of multiple different preachers would somehow come together, unanimously decide to forget their leaders and create a fake composite leader who supposedly existed and was publicly executed a few years prior, as well as composite teachings. Somehow they get everyone on board for it (we don't see any evidence of other sects that didn't follow), but just as soon as this disparate groups all agree to create a fake founder they suddenly split apart again. But none of them ditch the idea of the fake founder.

It's really bizarre when you think about it. There are figures that historians think might have been composite figures developed over centuries, but nothing like disparate groups suddenly creating a fake founding figure from a generation back (the Pauline letters are written a couple of decades after Jesus is supposed to have died).

And the theory doesn't solve any problems. Instead of one preacher we have some evidence for, we now have multiple preachers we have no evidence for, multiple proto-Christian movements we have no evidence for, councils to unify the movements by falsify their origin we have no evidence for, etc.

> Developers shouldn't expect themselves to be able to do good design work any more than designers should expect themselves to be able to make scalable, reliable, maintainable, production-ready code.

Reread that sentence. It does not say developers can't do good design work and it doesn't say that designers can't write good code: it says they shouldn't expect to simply be able to do it. Nobody should expect to be able to do anything non-trivial they haven't deliberately learned how to do. Unless you have evidence that most developers have done the years of learning it takes to become a competent interface designer, that's just not a controversial statement.

If you're going to continue trawl my comment for minutia to be aggrieved by instead of making any coherent counterargument, you're on your own.
I'm planning on taking a sober January this year, abstaining from both booze and weed. Alcohol I don't have any particular problem with; I'm a fairly infrequent drinker. But marijuana and I have a strange relationship. I've been a habitual user for the last decade plus, and have found over the last few years that smoking either makes me anxious to the point of discomfort or just doesn't really do anything.

I continually tell myself, every time the anxiety thing happens, that I should just quit the stuff. But it's a very strong habit and I often find myself lighting up for seemingly no reason. I took about a month long break a year or so ago and didn't particularly miss it.

Anyway, I've now been off it for two days, and plan to just lay off for a while.

I suspect, with some sadness, that I've just hit the point where it's not fun for me anymore. I've seen many people voice similar experiences online and have a friend who quit permanently a few years ago with a similar case (although theirs seemed much more acute than mine).

Anyway, a reset is in order, so that's what I'll attempt. Not hoping for any miracles, but I think it will be a nice change of pace if nothing else.
Those on the Windows side are just as if not more angered by Windows 11 too. The software industry has become an example of quantity over quality, features over fixes, change and novelty over stability, diversity over excellence.

Instead of gradually approaching perfection as bugs are fixed over time, software gets needlessly rewritten and introduces a bunch of new bugs. Thanks to the wholly misguided focus on "developer experience", the new version is more inefficient and more complex, leading to even more bugs than the previous one. They call it "progress", but it really isn't. It's an increasingly steep decline fueled by an abundance of developers that need to be given something to do.

If you are OK using gnu screen, you can auto spawn screen if tty is /dev/tty2 - tty6 (adjust if you allow logins on other ttys). Screen will mess up ability to run startx, but if not using X, use screen on /dev/tty1 - tty6.

I do the above (via a shell snippet in /etc/profile.d) to get scrollback and an idle lock, via screen, on tty2-6, and, if tty1, add an alias that invokes vlock after startx exits to lock the virt console that X is using on exit from X.

I feel like there aren't as many tech people in the music industry

My standard assumption about industries is that the market is liquid. That there is approximately a balance between supply and demand. That the market for skills and services is efficient.

In terms of the music businesses, that might be a best case because music is a more appealing thing to be into than most things, and because so much of the ethos of music is do-it-yourself, because the tools facilitate doing it yourself, the domain of music is narrow, and digital music has been mainstream for nearly forty years.

What is your background in music?

Here is one source: (1).

If it this is insufficient for you, for it seems you do not trust me as a source on the subject, here is a quote from the Book of Mormon:

"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity. For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, that they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them."
(2 Nephi 5:21) (2)

I will not belabor the content of this quote, for it is, hopefully, now clearly racist.

[Addendum: I re-read the thread and it seems to me now you were answering to me who was answering to a bifurcation of the original comment. I agree the original commenter would ideally have substantiated his claims. So would have the answer, (to which I answered) which claimed that because they are Mormon then they should be spared of judgement or scrutiny. I disagree (but that is something else).

This whole thread could have been avoided if the term Mormon would have been omitted. Which, I believe would have been fine, since whether those communities were LDS or not, it would have been the same.]

That pretty much boils down to Euro-centric judgement, early British, Dutch, and French reporting, different ideals of what constitutes "culture", destruction of effective but hard to see artifacts (wells, river and ocean fish traps, degradable townsites), etc.
This is all accurate (well the technical bits, I don't know much about biblical history or its historicity) however I will make one maddening correction: archeologists conventionally use the word "sherd" (short for "potsherd") when referring to broken pieces of ceramic artifacts. The word "shard" has an almost identical meaning, except that it connotes some sharpness, and is not exclusive to ceramics as "sherd" is.

My frustration is that they used to recommend you content you’d be interest in. Once they started making more money off original content and some licensed content the recommendation algorithm morphed into being more and more biased to the content they make more money on. Other than searching for the exact content you want, all the suggestions are so bad that I frequently start browsing on Amazon first. Haven’t reached the point of cancelling but it might get to that point.
Ph.D. in chemistry here.

The stoichiometry which factors into the definition of pH is

H_{2}O <=> H^{+} + OH^{-}

which actually includes the activity of proton - that's H^{+} multiplied by a coefficient that reflects the ionic strength of the solution and in non-zero outside of really pure 18 mega-ohm RO water - but that's beyond the scope of this. I will note that your balanced equation is in fact valid, as it includes bulk aqueous water.

(1) H^{+}(aq) is not synonymous with H_{3}O^{+}; the former is aqueous solvated proton, the latter is hydronium ion;

(2) Moving on to the so-called "autoionization" reaction, what you mean to say is that water is self-ionizable or, more appropriately, amphoteric, i.e., is can act as an acid (in this sense, a proton donor) or a base (the hydroxide ion);

(3) The pH of 7 is an ideal and is dependent on temperature, ionic strength, and a few other things (including pressure) that do actually move us off the pH point of 7 for a so-called "neutral" solution; and finally

(4) The units are moles per liter; and hydronium vs. proton does make a difference, as proton is one hydrogen and hydronium is 3 hydrogens.
I liked Windows 3.1 so much that I used it as my main OS until 2003. The combination of Windows 3.1 and MS Office 4.0 was great. I don't think there's been a significant improvement in Word or Excel since then.

If pressed, I'd say that the greatest changes for general office use in the last twenty years (for me) involve multiple monitor support and touchscreens.

Most people aren’t lawyers or justices. This is specialisation of labor. If it doesn’t matter enough to spend a fraction of the time reading an option that took orders of magnitude more time to produce, the lazy opinion is a hunch, nothing more.
Not sure why my comment is flagged, or why this would be introductory to a nationalistic flamewar. Saying that the US has a lack of emphasis on passenger rail travel has nothing to do with Nationalism. This thread is about Southwest's breakdown and the fallout caused by it.
