The Last Psychiatrist blog was obsessed with narcissism, their model of it was that people have a self-image such as "I am a great man", "I am a good mother", "I am a proper Christian", "I am a success with a nice house and sports car and attractive blonde partner" and their main priority is making sure that everyone else has the same image of them as they have. That things which damage the image anger narcissists more than anything else.

In that model, shame is "I wish you hadn't caught me doing that because you will think less of me and I can't accept that". Guilt is "I wish I hadn't done that because it harmed other people and other people matter" which extreme narcissists don't feel. That is, the child who has torn clothes and one parent worries that the child might be hurt under their watch, compared to the parent who punishes the child for making them look like a worse parent to all the bystanders.

And that pattern is something to see everywhere, from internet arguments to international news.

i.e. guilt is [1] "Greek transport minister Kostas Karamanlis has resigned following a rail crash which killed at least 38 people; Mr Karamanlis said he felt it was his “duty” to step down “as a basic indication of respect for the memory of the people who died so unfairly”"

Shame is [2] Turkey blocking social media immediately after the recent earthquake and arresting people who posted things which made the government look bad. Instead of first thought being to the injured or the corruption, it was trying to control how the government looks and punishing those who hurt that image.

Guilt is not something social media can encourage - the other people are names on a screen, far away.

But a focus on your image, the image you present to the world, the perfect life you live, the perfect friends you have, the beautiful places you go, the clever knowledge you have, the busy Github commit log, the witty Twitter stream, those kinds of things are what social media promotes uncomfortably well.

When someone sees you crying or without makeup, that's not the macho or beautiful Instagram image you've cultivated, harm done - to you, to your image - shame shame shame emergency response damage control, post something which puts it in context and explains it, attack back. When you call someone an unfunny moron on Twitter, no harm done but when someone calls you an unfunny moron, damage control - the world must think of me as witty and inciteful because that's all I have on Twitter and if I lose that, I'm nobody, attack back.

i.e. the phones are a proxy, reading a book with other people around instead of talking to them can still feel sociable. Seeing beautiful people on a billboard advert has been a thing for decades. The projection of yourself to the world, text, pictures, videos, blogs, streams, to an internet where all there is is a projection of you which you have to control, seems like more of a problem.

I would never want to put that burden on my kids. I'm a middle-aged gen-xer with teenagers. My boomer parents are doing well enough for themselves but still are relying on their kids (me and my siblings) to "do something" when they get into their 80's. Having to juggle both my kids and my parents is a lot of stress and worry. I'm doing everything I can to not let that happen to my kids when I'm in my 80's.
Curious if I am going crazy...

On the main blog page, it sure looks like some of the entries are not sorted properly. For example the 10 Feb 2020 ThinkPad review.

Oh wait a second. Some of the dates are DD/MM/YYYY and some are MM/DD/YYYY!
There was a time in the 60s when letters to "Daniel, Paris" went to Daniel Filipacchi.
Many people don't realize that in the USA, the letters only get sorted by postal zip code (and sometimes zip+4) - everything else is sorted by the postman as he walks the streets, so if your letter gets to the right post office it will likely get to the right postman and he can often figure it out without it even having to go to the dead letter office.
I’d argue that is already the case, with the secure enclave. They don’t need to ‘make it so’.

This also ties into the suggestion that our memories are getting worse because of smartphone use. A discussion of who played in a particular role in a movie exercises the neural connections we make between things. They were in that other movie, someone remembers something about an interview they were in with something else, etc.
This is true, but again, within reason. I am 100% comfortable not knowing or understanding what design errors I have made that will cause my software to fail if used on a spaceship orbiting a black hole.

> I had one returned to sender since the post office wouldn't figure the missing town from the zip code!

Well, here in the UK the norm (for non-commercial mail) is not to include a return address on the outside of the envelope.

To return something to the sender, they have to open it and hope they find an address inside. Much easier to just deliver it!

The little tags you can put on your keychain for your grocery store rewards card often have a "postage guaranteed" line on them, if someone finds your keys I guess they can throw them in a mailbox and it'll get back to the grocery store and then they can forward them on to you.

> 10 minutes a day, whether duolingo or not, will get you further then 70 minutes once a week in a crunch mode. That holds for language, playing musical instrument, sport, whatever. The hardest part in those is to keep interest and touch with activity over the long time it requires. And the big enemy are months when you pause the activity entirely.

My point is that you need both. Reviewing vocab etc. can be done as part of the "daily 10 minutes" (although it usually takes me longer). But learning about new grammar etc. usually takes longer than just 10 minutes. And once in a while you just have to sit down and read a more complicated text, looking up vocab, etc.

Again, it pretty much also depends on the language. For Japanese, I think it's impossible to get anywhere with just 10 minutes a day, I think.
If keeping most of Europe on one timezone lets people work together without needing to think about time zones, so does unifying the entire earth on a single TAI or UTC "timezone".
> Basically the point is to be funny about it or use it as a generator for a new topic.

Again, this does not make sense. The point of an argument over trivia is... being funny? Maybe tell jokes or funny anecdotes instead?

> a generator for a new topic.

"Hey Reilly, (what did you do this weekend|how did the trip to Yellowstone go|how's your kid doing in school)?"
I appreciate the nuance of 'may' in the title. We could do with more of that.
Yeah, I guess I can do it to a lesser extent. Most teams were formed "organically" with no direction, and in my team I try to get us to work with higher standards than the rest of the org. What I need to justify to my team is things like "How is it acceptable that other teams connecting to the prod db on a regular basis? How come we're the only ones rotating our secrets after CircleCI's breach?". My debate is whether I should/can just chill and not worry about it too much (build shittier software) while it's not in my nature.
> So I think "as far as the 70s" is fairly misleading

As far as the 70s refers to efforts to create whiter and more reflective paint.
Sometimes to tell a story you add a bunch of extra details, that are not critically relevant to whatever you are trying to say. Maybe you're saying you love Michael Bay movies, and then you list off a bunch of movies. And the other participant in the conversation might be like: actually I don't think Michael Bay did The Notebook. You might engage in the dispute, or move past it. Or if it's a very casual conversation, turn it into a rhetoric exchange where you try to convince it must indeed have been Michael Bay. Point being, just be aware of why you're having the conversation. If for you it is an exchange of facts, fine, do the dive (sometimes, I do this). But often, it doesn't seem to matter for the larger story you are trying to tell - I love boom boom Michael Bay movies, share your favourite boom boom movies.

Last thing is, sometimes people come across as totalizing in text but they're really just saying something broadly. This is good conversational style, kinda like this thread, where you go through a collaborative exposition. Vs someone who nails all the details from the get go, and also manages to capture the relative weightings of each scenario in a way that read lightly.

Okay, maybe I am rambling a bit now...what was Michael Bay's last movie again?
Google is just as capable of providing misinformation as it is of providing facts. Maybe some people shut down when confronted with political opinion being stated as fact. Even something as seemingly objective as the percentage of the federal government's budget spending on the military becomes tribal when one side wants the percentage to be based on the budget that includes entitlements and other side insists that's not allowed because those are non-discretionary funds.
When millions of digital compositions a second can be created by swarms of AI, all digital human endeavor will be drowned out. The market cares not anymore that you can knit a sweater.

There are and they cost upwards of £20,000 a year for a license. There’s a reason why smaller delivery companies get the address wrong and that is probably part of the issue.
In our case the instance type is about the only workhorse for the given job. High TPS (scales well to the core count) and needs a large on-disk configuration for low latency key value retrieval of data deployed on disk.

I did slightly misspeak on the instance move having seen your reply. We moved from m5.24xlarge to m6i.16xlarge. Sorry for the confusion.

That said, you shared some interesting information. I'd love to read up more on this, any specific place I can dig in a bit deeper regarding the finer specifics of these instance types and architecture?
What's your reasoning for why import/export controls are insufficient legal grounds?

I haven't dug into it, but I'm not aware off the top of my head of any court ruling that such controls cannot apply to software, e.g., encryption export controls in the 1990s.
>>"but only for a narrow range of wavelengths..."

Curious ; what wavelengths 'carry' the most heat? or capable of carrying the most heat?

And what reflective material/color is best at reflecting most heat?

I ask because I used to have a friend who was a physicist at Intel and he couldnt tell me what heat actually was...

Do we have an answer to this?
Well, the reliance on Whatsapp is a serious accessibility issue that governments should be working on.

This is one of those situations where I completely agree with Netflix. Why should they have to pay a tax just because their website is popular and serves a lot of traffic.

This seems like extortion more than a tax.
Ah, I assumed "much more" to be higher than that. So, apologies on missing the magnitudes we are duscussing.
These were all multi-protocol clients supporting more than XMPP because MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and AIM all had their own thing. I believe Facebook was always its own thing but they exposed an XMPP proxy. Only Google Talk really relied on XMPP from the start but it was pretty much a token player in the market until two things happened: 1. They integrated with Gmail making Google Talk readily available to Google’s entire Gmail user base without installing a separate Windows-only client (or finding a compatible messenger, iChat ended up natively supporting XMPP within a couple of years) and 2. Instant Messaging went into rapid decline as users switched to mobile-first messengers (IMing was always a desktop-centric experience and the various pre-existing protocols were not battery efficient and you typically had to have the client open and active to be signed in).
Weird, this website is blocked by infoblox in our coorporate network, because it is flagged as "malicious".
I really like the uk post code system. Most website have auto complete. So address is type in 6 digits and select flat number from drop down.

I’ve even seen buildings where different floors have diff codes
On Android we do the same with help of Gradle. It retrieves library from a remote source and caches it. If there is no cache, next time your Gradle tries to build, it will download the library from a remote source. If remote host fails, you can not build your app. One of popular host providers had issues couple of times in last year, and it wasn't nice.

I can retire very comfortably tomorrow, so long as I die by next Wednesday.
One thing that is easily observed by the AI hype squad is that it's always a human that has to review the output since it is very clear that the AI output cannot be trusted to be correct as it outputs lots of incorrect bullshit.

So now whatever the output, it still requires a human who knows about 'coding' or some other expertise to review the generated output of the AI and they cannot assume that the answer given by the AI is even correct.

This hype is going to subside into lots of garbage, once all the low hanging fruit is picked and people realise that the outputs of LLMs like ChatGPT is untrustworthy.

I agree. I had a friend who told me that he had to spent less in months when my companies stock was down, because he was literally using his base + equity in full nearly every month. He also told me he hadn't opened a 401k. He is in his early 30s working in tech and just his base would facilitate a comfortable lifestyle. It really shocked me

I always find static site generators a kind of leaky abstraction. They eventually try to abstract nearly the whole functionality of the web stack, and the larger the SSG the more apparent it becomes. But, for obvious reasons, they just cannot abstract all the peculiarities of the web from you.

What security guarantees do Apple currently provide?

I can't imagine much more than E2EE & maybe encrypted-at-rest (which is not a protocol-level feature anyway).
yeah, exactly. So I wonder if ultimately they want to have the browser handle transpiling things like typescript? And I definitely think there are other concerns (such as linting) that you want to happen as part of your development pipeline.
One explanation might be that it depends on how you define "month" in this context. Is it a calendar month, or is it four weeks?
This stuff is good, thanks for sharing!
> and nearly 2/3 are using JavaScript (which at least tries to be object-oriented)

While Javascript is usually maligned fairly, in this case I think it's unfair. The JS design learned from Self that one of Smalltalk's accidental sources of complexity was having classes as an object-like piece of syntax when they can be built out of objects themselves. JS has a more object-oriented design than some of the other examples of "object-oriented languages" presented without comment in the article.

[As an aside: I don't think programming languages can be functional, object-oriented, or otherwise paradigmatic. I think program designs can have those properties, and programming languages can support or hinder expressing those properties clearly.]
The article does a bad job of communicating this, but that's what it calls deduplication.

Speak for yourself, I was recently the second-oldest person at a concert. A friend of mine, a year older than me, was embarrassed when we noticed that. I take it as a point of pride. I still enjoy the music of my youth, but I really love new music.

There were a lot of negatives about pensions; employee mobility and companies trying everything possible to weasel out of promised benefits being the biggest ones.

What are you running for an OS? If it is MacOS, how do any of your apps work? I would not think that even recent web browsers would install on Snow Leopard.

I put Linux on old Macs precisely because I cannot go a day on older MacOS without hitting 10 applications whose latest versions I cannot install on MacOS.

If you are not having that problem, I would like to know more.
Fully agree. I think some of the proposed lunar base locations have near constant sunlight for much of the year - rendering any mapping to period dark/light periods mostly irrelevant.
