Any modern replication? With all the replication crisis everywhere, and this research being extremely narrativistic, are there any modern experiments affirming these conclusions?

It literally ran once and in the same environment, and only the last findings were taken? How do we know it's not just some specific genetic defect that propagated? Did they reintroduce new genes into the gene pool? Some other failure of the experiment? There wasn't even a control group in this entire thing, it's closer to a bedtime story than science.

I'm extremely cautious about making broad assumptions with so little data.

Long lasting (religious) traditions inevitably will weave universalities of the human condition into the fabric of cultural practices.

If one traces back Christianity historically, it grows more like a sponge taking in concepts and practices from its cultural rich surroundings.
Before becoming the official "religion" of the Roman Empire it was wildly heterodox. Early Christianity is a wild ride. Even after being domesticated, latinized, canonized, homogenised and ultimately politicized looking back on the time line it unfolds like a fractal of cultural manifolds (e.g. "negative theology" [0] or more recent "existentialism" [1]).

"Buddhism" was spread - locally more limited - similarly through conquest and enforcing social order but never gained the momentum of "Christianity" or "Islam" and thus in its smaller and more fractions contains more "diversity" and is harder to point to as a monolithic block.

The exercise of bringing something to the table by being even mildly anti-Buddhist, anti-Christian, anti-#insert_religion_here# strikes me as fruitless in these globalised times and kind of weirdly pre-anthropological echoing theological reasoning.

The observations obviously stem from personal experience with different facets of modern/westernized Buddhism and is more descriptive of the author's resistances than the subject which is put sneakingly forward.

I thought agile was an elaborate scheme divised by energy vampires to drain the enthusiasm of developers through the use of rituals.
And not all CLI tools are isolated UNIXy bins you install. It could be an interface to a larger app running on the system like a database.
Designing dependencies is critical but managing them is not.

I often found that unless you have CI you don't have flexibility at all to make more than superficial design changes. People spend days passing instances down convoluted hierarchies because they don't have any other way. Much better to use DI and start designing who needs what as a direct dependency.

A dependency injection framework also helps you encapsulate dependencies into contexts which can be used instead of global namespace. At least it should if your DI framework isn't just doing glorified singletons.
":u" updates file (writes only if changed) instead of ":w" (which always writes).
Yep - I am curious as to where the mental health subject matter expertise and validation of outcomes fits into your budget (unless it is more a directory or something more “benign” not requiring that).

I've learned a lot of what I know just using "learn by doing" principle. I think I retain a lot better this way. However, you can only go as far with learn by doing principle as far as you need to "do". Meaning, you might never have to worry about memory optimization or thread locking strategies unless and until you need to.

The field of "programming" can be very wide, so technical books sometimes help fill those gaps to give you an head start when you end up having to "learn by doing".

I don't really think its a waste of time. However, in my case, unless I get to apply what I learned or read, I will likely forget it. So my one tip would be to ensure you pick up books in areas a little closer to your personal or work projects.

YMMV
Ultimately all that matters is how many person-hours an organization dedicates to a product that’s considered low priority, finished, deprecated, whatever you want to call it.

Debating all the linguistic similes we can use to describe the process is fruitless.

Despite that freedom of interpretation, I think your hypotheticals have really clear answers that most software engineers would agree with based on what was originally promised and intended.

If a user expects a sorting function to have ascending and descending, but I only originally delivered and promised ascending, later adding descending is a feature/enhancement. It doesn’t matter that the user didn’t like my original implementation, I didn’t promise descending.

Conversely, if I add the descending function because I originally intended for that function to be there and wrote some amount of code for that function, but it doesn’t work, that’s a bug fix.

I don’t understand the ambiguity, the difference is clear as day to me.

In any event, the whole debate revolves around the language of intent. Truthfully, a group of people can make up whatever language they want to describe their approach.
Especially as the app is failry simple looking. Probably buildable in React Native in a month. Pay a good developer and you can probably get a prototype out for $10-$20k?

$300000 is not enough. It depends. If you’re a dev and planning to build something with another dev, then that’s plenty. If you’re just a guy with no idea how software works, then it may be less. If you’re a dev and your startup has nothing to do with software then also, that money is less. If you’re hiring exclusively from Bay Area devs it is less, if you’re open to contracting people from elsewhere, it is sufficient. If you’re open to hiring students from Bay Area for internships, it is sufficient. If you immediately jump on the cloud, that may not be enough. If you know how to provision a server in your garage, it may be enough. There’s a lot that goes into how much money you need, and it really depends on you to manage it.
It's not even a generational thing. Boomers have some of the worst etiquette.

When I grew up it was rude to call people at dinner time. If you called someone while they were eating it was either ignored, sent to answering machine, or it was answered with a curt "we're eating" before hanging up. This was the 1990s.

When I got my first cellphone, I made a point of excusing myself and leaving a room if it rang because that's how I was raised.

These days boomers seem to have forgotten this etiquette they impressed upon Gen X and Millennials. They answer their phones on speakerphone whenever without excusing themselves and and are completely unapologetic.

People in general today have no concern for walking around in public while having a phone call and get offended if you mistake their conversation and acknowledge them. As rude as it might seem to keep Airpods in all of the time, they have at least saved us from having to listen to other people carrying on and give a visual queue to ignore someone speaking around you.
What MSRP games? Can you cite some specific claims from various sources that aren't just the EVGA CEO that GN said to "take with a bunch of salt" and that Igor confirmed doesn't reflect the other partners' margins or sentiment?

I provided actual sources and numbers here, "well-known, well-sourced" is just "trust me bro" if you don't provide those sources.

Again: 2080 Ti is a great example of how those claims aren't really true. There was nothing stopping the other partners from offering MSRP cards just like EVGA and Zotac. They could even have gone under MSRP, just like EVGA.

Partners won't do it because they don't make enough money, not because they lose money. EVGA and Zotac show they're not losing money doing it, they just don't want to.

It's car dealerships whining they're only making 5% on a budget car instead of 15% on a corvette.

Even if we started building thousends of new nuclear power plants:

- we dont have enough trained staff to build and operate them

- it takes 5-10years to build one

- we dont have infrastructure to supply them all with fuel and dispose waste (even new ones that can run on previous waste MSR)

- we are too divided as a spiecies and too occupied with worthless disputes (are you pink or blue? Yada yada)

Ppl at the top realized that they cannot stop changes, so instead are preparing for alternatives. We cannot stop it nor reverse, so all we can do is adapt.

There is not much place left to run to, so better get trained now to defend yourself and your family.

That's scrum. Scrum uses agile but agile is not scrum.
The short answer....it depends.

It very much depends on what books you're reading, if they're right for you at your current level and helping you take the next step up. it depends on if you're not just reading but also seeking for ways to engage with what you have read....there's a lot of factors.

Actively doing will always teach more than just reading, but if you read, try out, adapt, try again, then you may find more benefit.
I agree. I meant "ceramic, porcelain or the like". You know, real stuff.

I have a great solution for todo lists and it helps mental health a bit. Unfortunately I cannot make a startup out of it because it is this: use a pen and paper for your todo lists, and make plenty of them.

That sounds really frustrating. What I’ve found is that kind of behavior really depends on what gym you go to — in my experience, a gym is kinda like a bar in that you have to like the mood or else it’s time to move on, and sometimes the mood can shift from under you. It sucks to be dislodged from your routine, but it’s a thing you can recognize and adapt to.
What exactly are you so deeply concerned with? People being weird in public sometimes?

Rolling your own auth is a waste of time unless this is some learning exercise.

Cognito + oauth2-proxy or the millions of alternatives are at your disposal.

Although for past 15 years I've socially distanced myself from Rails, I'm pretty sure it had a decent auth library at the time, something called device.
Yeah, and crucially, all of the talk of WotC wanting to revoke OGL 1.0 as applied to existing material is speculation based on the leaked draft discussing its authorization -- there's no specific language claiming it is "revoked". My guess would be that they want to make it clear that despite clause 9, you can't distribute 1.1 material under the 1.0 license.

It's a clusterfuck of
1. The leaked license has some really shitty terms in it

2. Folk might be misinterpreting one particular part to mean something other than intended, but its getting the main focus right now (and also treated as absolute fact!)

3. It's leaked so WotC was completely unprepared to answer questions and/or do PR around this

If I was e.g. Paizo I would be very urgently demanding clarification, but since I'm not I'm content to wait and see what happens without getting too outraged, yet.

(I will 100% boycott WotC/D&D/MTG/etc if they actually do try to revoke 1.0 material, though.)
If the concern is gaurenteeing that power is always available, the answer is a backup generator. It won't consume fossil fuels unless it's actively in use (very rarely). The carbon taken out of the atmosphere by having an efficient house with solar and grid connection during the rest of the year will more than offset the generator.

I contend that the unsexy combination of solar, a bidirectional grid connection, and an emergency diesel generator is more efficient and environmentally friendly than any existing system involving hydrogen or batteries.
This is wrong on so many levels:

> You shouldn’t need logging everywhere, for example. Your logic code should be side-effect free, and most of the rest of your code should be throwing detailed exceptions or returning errors rather than writing to the log and returning null.

Being side-effect-free doesn't mean that you don't need logging to understand how the outputs were computed from inputs, when things do go wrong (and they will go wrong).

Code throwing detailed exceptions is great, but if you only log them at the point where they're caught several levels up the stack, you're losing a lot of context. If that particular exception is, well, actually exceptional - which should be the norm - logging it at the point where you throw it makes it much easier to debug later.
EVGA stopped making GPUs entirely, citing among other things the inability to sustain MSRP pricing. Really odd you'd use them as an example unless you were just entirely unaware of that recent breakup?

So... No, other companies can't do what EVGA did just like EVGA couldn't keep doing what EVGA did. Hence why they basically went bankrupt doing it (rather, they obviously didn't drop 70+% of their revenue if it was a healthy profit margin as you are so insistent on claiming)
I knew that, was just playing the joke back. I guess it misfired. Or maybe not.
You don't think that before doing this gesture, the individual would check if there were people waiting to get on the elevator?

Strictly speaking, WotC didn't pull the A:NR license, they just declined to renew it when the six-year term was up. While we don't know the story, it seems a safe bet that the initial license was seen as a low-effort monetization of an idle property, which they didn't expect to become competition for the MtG cash cow. And while A:NR never became big enough to be a direct competitor (compared to Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh), I think they came to perceive minimal upside in subsidizing a successful LCG model, lest the market lose confidence in "luxury cardboard rectangles" as a speculative asset.

Netrunner has continued as a fairly successful non-profit fan cooperative [0] since, but remains in a very legally shaky position (they've been working on cutting ties with the original IP as much as possible, but if Hasbro wanted to set an example, it might not matter).

Only if you could pass parameters to "continue" (which you can't).
There is no mainstream FOSS license with a morality clause.
Unless laws are passed to make filming others in public, this is unlikely to ever stop. Chances are, such laws will not get passed as it will intrude on civil liberties and free expression of many. I also recommend against swatting away, as the author in the Verge concludes he/she will do, at someone's phone if they don't consent to being recorded. You run the risk of breaking someone's phone that way, giving potential rise to increased conflict or a small claims suit. Best response is to walk away or ignore.
> Furthermore, dependency injection frameworks encourage you to think in terms of globals. That’s what they inject! A single, globally-configured instance of a class. Think about it. If you one day want two different instances of an injected variable, you’ll need an impact driver to express just how screwed you are. This has all kinds of knock-on effects in terms of reducing encapsulation and separating state from behavior.

What? I legitimately do not understand what this bit of the article is about. Surely the author knows of instance scopes[0] (as they are called in the DI framework I tend to use, Autofac), right? Expressing this kind of instance configuration does not require an "impact driver," whatever that means; it's just a simple matter of replacing .SingleInstance() or whatever in your bootstrapper function with an InstancePerDependency (the default) or Named or Keyed or _whatever_ kind of relationship/instance scope you want. Does this actually represent some horrible crufty sin?

I would beg to differ. It can combine information from various sources and make it into a working script or program. I've seen it do that various times with questions much to obscure to have found 1:1 on google. This is not a talking search engine, it's really something much more advanced.
Between the way the laws are written (tons of discretion given to the officers) and the way the cops operate (they're taught to use word play and field sobriety tests that are specifically designed to let the cop write a police report that makes the suspect look plastered despite reality being otherwise without technically lying[1]) lots of people who are well below the legal limit get charged with DUI. They then spend thousands of dollars on a lawyer getting those charges reduced to "reasonable" stuff (in sarcasm quotes because it's blatant revenue enforcement) that still carries thousands in fines but isn't life ruining.

Don't get me wrong, real DUI is a real crime but for every person charged with that there's another one that thought they were successfully attempting to be lawful by being below the limit who also got charged because that's what the laws permit and that's what the financial incentive is.

I think the argument here is that VB is cursed because Windows is cursed; it inherited the bias toward cursedness. Of course other languages can choose to do better.
It wouldn't surprised me if they leaked it themselves to either see what the outcry would be, or so they can release a version that's not as bad as the leak and people are happier with it even though it's still terrible.
There was a smaller leak earlier, not the full 1.1 license that Gizmodo claims to have, and WotC responded to that within 24 hours of it going online.

Sapling seems to have most of these:

reword: sl metaedit <commit>

sync: sl pull && sl rebase -s 'draft()' -d main

split: sl split

preview: not that I’m aware of, though I’ve never looked for it

undo: sl undo

large-load / large-ops: yeah, it was designed for FAANG monorepo-scale

Additionally, some other features that sapling has that I wish git had:

smartlog: Show the state of all my branches off of the master branch, what commits there are, whether they are passing the CI test suite, and whether they’ve been code reviewed: https://sapling-scm.com/docs/overview/smartlog#super-smartlo...

absorb: when you’ve got one commit eg adding a new method, and another commit making use of that method, and you then tweak both bits of code, “absorb” automatically merges your add-method tweaks into the add-method commit and the use-method tweaks into the use-method commit
