I'm pretty sure that you walked out with no clothes in the scientific community, people would be happy to point out you have no clothes. People can make names for themselves poking holes in other's theories. Hell, Einstein tried to do that with quantum mechanics without much success.

I guess, in that sense it's political. But the politics here is to try to bring about rational reasoning. And eventually, quantum mechanics won, not because it was the most reasonable theory, (it's not and who would design a universe this way?), but it has the most amount of experimental evidence to back it up.

Universal grammar in the way that Chomsky suggested, a sort of structure all humans must have in there brain, is a thing. But it's more of a meta-grammar than a grammar, i.e. a way to build the grammar of the particular language the child is exposed to.

How to Use Dreams for Creative Inspiration
Hey everyone! Long-time lurker of HN here, but this is my first post.

I've stumbled across a pretty simple way to reduce the addicitivity of iOS/macOS, and I thought I would share it with the community. TLDR; using Shortcuts you can set your device to grayscale, but give yourself a keyboard shortcut to get color back for a minute when you need it for a particular task. After the allotted time, your screen turns grayscale again, and your brain gently pulls you back into reality.

Anecdotally this results in much lower screen time, and more time spent doing things I find personally fulfilling.

I'd be interested in hearing the community's thoughts on this!
Hardware has limits as well as software. You would need a completely different architecture to accomodate a 20M+ database. Usually schemeless the database overhead is typically what is responsible how many rows it handle and because your client interacts with the MySQL engine it is at limit and performance of that engine. So yeeeee-no. Time to use a different database.
It's Microsoft's Powershell, but for Apple's OS.
There's a cult around string theory, where despite it not producing a single testable hypothesis in its multi-decade dominance, it maintains its dominance as an orthodoxy, sucking up most of the research grants. Speaking out against string theory in the particle physics circles of academia gets you branded a heretic and outcast, potentially costing you a career in particle physics.
This is a bit unethical, but the candidate in question could just say that their current employer gave them a newer, better offer that they couldn't refuse, essentially giving plausible deniability. Though I do agree that the interviewer would be fully in their right to not re-interview the candidate.

It makes one wonder how much choice you have in believing otherwise... After all, such things may not be knowable, at this point in time anyways.
Candyland might be an ok game for young children, but there are certainly better games for that niche, too.

Strang's OCW lectures on linear algebra are excellent. From a distance, he truly seems like a professor that was at least as interested in educating the next generation as he was making his own discoveries.
I suppose that massive increase of cases is why the special "sex trafficking" courts the US government set up in 2018 shut down for lack of cases. This is just anothe scare like the red scare, terrorism, etc. Very little actual impact or events but huge response in terms of getting re-elected and showing eyes ads so it's blown way out of proportion in the public discourse.

Basing your laws off the needs of corporate persons instead of human persons is bad policy. Authoritarianism might look good in the short term but $godwin.

Kernel debugging over serial should be possible in vSphere, but Ethernet is easier to set up:

The butter 'trick' is just browning the butter (which happens faster than onions) to add deep color and extra flavor to sauteed onions. For some bizarre reason the author interpreted this as blasting onions and olive oil at high heat until they were a charred mess, and then goes on to blame recipe writers for why they can't seem to cook onions. What a strange article.
it's obviously based on the data size itself, memory available etc etc.

Pretty clearly people ran the exact same test, fill a table with a bunch of empty/meaningless data and see where performance degrades - then write a catchy headline title/post.

In the end, it's more nuanced than that but i think the overall theme is know your tuning once you get to certain data sizes.

Don’t mistake your own experience with the entire market.

The market doesn’t care what happens to you. The market cares what happens to everyone. Of course you’ll go hungry. Supply and demand doesn’t determine how much you will pay or if you will eat. It just sets a price and maybe you can afford it and maybe you can’t.

The grocery store can’t jack up the price if people aren’t willing or able to pay that amount. They might stop carrying eggs altogether, but they are more likely to price at whatever the market will bear.

The best way to carmelize onions is in a slow cooker. I used a cheapie one for years that I bought at a goodwill for $5.

Chop up enough onions to fill the vessel 1/2 to 2/3, leave it running overnight (8-10h), wake up next morning to perfectly carmelized onions.

Now drain the juice, portion them out and store them in the freezer (store the juice too for onion soup). Now any time you need carmelized onions, take a portion out of the freezer and thaw. Depending on the recipe you can use them as-is (soggy) or crisp them up in a pan.
Yes. MySQL has been laughing at that for over 20 years (especially if it fit under 2GB, since CPUs used to be 32 bit).
The monk who created the site is a Theravada Buddhist and almost every monk featured on the site is of the Theravada (or presectarian/Early Buddhist) school. The Theravada school is the oldest school of Buddhism.

The canonical texts of the Theravada school, in which this website is rooted, are transcriptions the original, actual, oral teachings of the historical Buddha of ~500 BC.

These texts are called the Pali Canon. They are the Buddha's actual words, orally trasmitted by monks for 500 years, and then transcribed in the 1st century AD. Much of the Pali Canon has been translated into English and is available at sites like suttacentral.com and accesstoinsight.com.

It's true that the the Open Buddhist University's solidly presectarian/Early Buddhist foundation isn't obvious if you are not already familiar with it.

Work on transformer alternatives, especially parallelizable ones like this, is incredibly important - it would suck if we get sucked down a local optima in architecture without actually looking at nearby viable alternatives.
"it's a conspiracy theory" Is not a fact a good reason.

Why do conspiracy theories get a bad rap? it's because there's people who think the moon landing isn't real and the earth is flat. These are what jumps to mind when anyone says "conspiracy theory". Here you are using that association to try to cover for corrupt politicians, which is not exactly a very far out there concept.
> This carries the assumption things like "school work" and "business work" are inherently fungible on the basis they are both types of work.

No, the assumption is that the purpose of education is to prepare you to be able to function in the real world. IMHO learning how to get other people to do your work for you is the single most valuable skill one could possibly acquire.
I feel like to some extent, this more so a societal change in how we view universities: before, they were playgrounds for wealthy people to network and learn the shibboleth's required for high-society (i.e., a classical education), meanwhile we now view university as a gateway to middle-class jobs. I think this is especially present in Canadian schools, where schools have started to almost exclusively focus on pre-professional programs like business or pre-med majors, at the expense of humanities.

There still is demand for learning about the humanities, just look at the Military Colleges in the States where a good portion of officer cadets major in humanities, versus the sciences. I would also be curious to see how many people have started to minor in the humanities and major in STEM. I personally know quite a few people who did that. It's just that the focus on career prospects and purpose of university has completely changed.

I wonder how this will affect culture; so many of our great cultural works come from people who studied a classical education, but now even the humanities are so focused on job prospects that this is going away.
Catan isn't actually all that great (and I say that as someone who bought his set back in 1995). We have much better games these days.

Stripped of its cultural significance, chess isn't that great either for a general audience. It suffers from analysis paralysis. I would only recommend it to a niche audience.

I love Diplomacy; I played many games over email, in person and even participated in the German Diplomacy championship (face-to-face) back in the 2000s. Yet, it's also a very niche game, and I can see why some people would rate it low. I actually prefer the game over email, because it gives you more time to think, sending emails resembles the telegraphs of the early 20th century and I am less likely to burn out from a months long game with one move every few days than one very intense day of face-to-face play.

Btw, if you like Diplomacy, I recommend playing on the 1900 map variant. It's basically an improved version of the standard map.

I think they call it "post structuralism".

Yes, indeed. Seasonality was just an example.
I'm not too current. Last time I looked at this was 2016. My take is: Many experiments are conducted on "unique" equipment which is inaccessible to outsiders. This makes experiments irreproducible in the classical sense. For example, the CERN particle accelerator is the largest in the world, no other similar facilities exist. Much of the research done is on such facilities.
2. Scientists in the field agree upon a "standard model", which predicts certain phenomena but not others. For the other phenomena, they use a different model, which is incompatible or not reconciled with the first model. Both of these models resemble over-fitted models that describe but don't explain. There is no beautiful, elegant combination of geometry and mathematics to discover the underlying meaning of the universe there.
3. Experiment results are highly processed by researchers and constitute terabytes or petabytes of data which is easy to manipulate to suit a researcher's opinion or political ends. Lots of noise and very little discernible signal.
4. Recent experiments don't seem to be yielding new, novel, interesting or viable lines of thinking.
Were you not climbing ? Was your pay not rising?
I dunno about 10 minutes, but in my very limited experience it's easier to crank the heat up when you have several pounds of onions. Otherwise, if you're just carmelizing one onion, stirring doesn't really allow you to temporarily remove the onion from the heat, whereas if you have a large amount of onions you're basically turning over the whole lot.

I've only made French onion soup once or twice, but I make Italian sausage, peppers, and onions regularly. I'm not shy about cranking the heat up, but with just 1 onion and 2 bell peppers some of the onions invariably end up a little burnt even before they've begun to carmelize; but in that dish that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I use the microwave to make a dark Cajun gumbo roux. I'm curious if the microwave would work well for carmelizing a small amount of onion. Though, using the microwave for a roux isn't much faster than using a pan; it's just more difficult to fsck-up.

My theory about cookbooks: They are not designed for cooking or even cooks.

Instead, the books are fantasy, to let the reader imagine that they could, will, might cook delicious meals and get praise, affection, love, and approval from their family, friends, and dinner guests. And for the onions, part of the fantasy is how easy the cooking will be -- brown the onions in at most 10 minutes.
This reminds me the simulated annealing algorithm programs used to find answers for a problem that can't be perfectly resolved by brute-forcing in constant time. By search the easiest way and introduce randomness at same time. You can avoid being trapped into local maximum, just like bees here do.
I was using faker in our codebase at work to generate some random data. I wanted to pick one of a few status codes. I was surprised to see that faker.random was deprecated and the random sample was moved into different datatypes. But the array datatype was deprecated so now there is no random sample from array in faker, seemingly. They say "Use your own function to build complex arrays." Isn't that what faker is all about?

Maybe there is good reason for this. I'm not real familiar with this space. It's not so hard to implement something yourself. But I suspect the description of "missing js randomness library" may have some merit.
They lie about making a roux, too.

The key to making a dark roux, as is used in Cajun cooking, is stirring, scraping, and homogeneity. You can crank the heat on high and stir for about 10-15 minutes, or you can keep it over medium and stir for an hour. If you stir like you're supposed to, you can get the same roux in less than half the time. A good wooden spoon (soft enough to scrape the bottom of the pot) that can get into the corners of a pot and a little elbow grease is all you need.

So why do they tell you that you need to stir for so long? Because if you screw it up, you've gotta start over.

I suppose GP is using clickbait in the looser sense that the title omits info (the professor's name) and thus invites a click; rather than the more common use of clickbait to label titles that are exaggerated, misleading, or "one-weird-trickey".

Granted, titles can't contain a full articles worth of facts, so omitted info is always expected; but omitting primary subject's name does lean somewhat reader-hostile (IMO).

I don't know, what you said is pretty confusing.

Either the temperatures are increasing or they're not. Either CO2 is retaining heat and increasing temperatures or it's not.

But ocean surface temperatures are 0.9°C warmer whereas temperatures over land are 1.9°C warmer.

And the Arctic is warming at least three times faster than the globe as a whole since the mid-1990s primarily due to the "ice-albedo feedback" where the melting of sun-reflecting ice results in more heat absorption.

Interesting to mention Madhur Jeffrey, who I had indeed felt betrayed by in her descriptions of browning onions by time, which never seemed to match my experience. Her book World Vegetarian otherwise taught me to cook 20 years ago. Or maybe, that following directions closely to a good recipe could make up for a serious lack of experience.

I see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifloat says there is an 8-bit float which uses 4-bits for exponent and 3-bits for significand. Maybe there is a sweet spot between 8-to-16 bits for a good-enough accuracy tradeoff. Of course the hardware for that isn't standard, but maybe low-bit float hardware would be useful.
