Ok, Perl6 was meant as new lang version. And replacement.

Ok, multi-lang virtual machines wanted to replace Perl5 binary.

But: :)

- multi-lang vm's are proof that v5 syntax wasn't mean to be eradicate at all cost

- there was no plan or push to instantly obsolote, uninstall and deny of Perl 5 usage

- I'm sure there was a conviction that some Perl 5 installations will stay for long time period into the future. Or as long as possible ~~ forever.

So it wasn't like Python 2.7 replacement. And plans even assumed continuation. And some from the start wanted to have both langs :)

I'm not sure you are fully aware of the implications. In fact, it seems you're dismissing easily avoidable risks by arguing you'd never be caught.

The fact you are trying to guilt trip me, in spite of supposed respect for differing opinions, demonstrates my point that most human relations are bullshit.

Really? Would you not think that being anonymous, performative moral actions would be fewer than a social network which was tied to an actual identity?

I don't understand why in your example, the point couldn't be made without specifically using crude language. It doesn't seem like that racial slurs would contribute to the threads topic.

Different SSRIs affect everyone differently. My guess is that this is primarily because the underlying cause and mechanisms of depression vary between people. For example, some people may find no relief because their depression isn't caused by a "chemical imbalance" or insensitivity to serotonin, but rather issues with functional connections in the brain.

Suicidal ideation remaining intact on SSRIs is definitely not universally true. SSRIs eliminate suicidal ideation for many people. I can say, thankfully, that my suicidal ideation was reduced after a few weeks and then gone after a few months. It didn't just improve my lack of motivation, but also reduced my negative thoughts and emotions.

I will say, however, that it also dulled my positive emotions. I'm more inclined to believe that this "zombificafion" is closer to being universally true of SSRIs than suicidal ideation remaining intact, based upon my own experience as well as the reported experiences of others. I used to be part of a clinical neuroimaging lab that studied depression and anxiety. While I didn't do any research on medication or even treatment, I have clinically interviewed a lot of participants that suffer from depression and medications/effects were a major focus point of those interviews.

So, I personally feel confident in saying that the effects of SSRIs vary greatly between people and that different SSRIs can affect the same person differently. It's also why I would rather rely on a psychiatrist (that I trust) who I can routinely report the effects to and tailor my treatment rather than some person on the internet telling me to just stop.

Keeping track of all that state in one’s head is hard.

I think because of the limitations of FP it’s much easier for new programmers to reason about programs and honestly, learn to program.

New developers don’t have to micromanage the computer, the way that the would with an imperative lang.

For example, SQL isn’t FP, but think about the number of business analysts whose lives would be more difficult if the had to write imperative programs to fetch data from some sort of data store.

I think what in comes down to is simple vs easy. Imperative programming in the very very beginning is easy, buts not simple.

Because there’s all this implicit state in your program, as the program grows it becomes very very complex. It’s no longer simple.

There’s this really great talk about this idea by rich hickey, the creator of clojure, that dives into this in detail.

I spent almost a decade in public sector digitalisation in Denmark as a software developer, enterprise architect and later manager, and you wouldn’t believe the amount of gamification attempts that I have seen fail. I’m not sure where they come from. Ok, maybe I should clarify that. I understand how gamification is a very effective psychological tool to get people to spend a lot of time on things they wouldn’t otherwise spend time on. Which means they are great tools for making money on various things, but I never understood how gamification made its way into anything “positive”. Positive is maybe the wrong word, but I’m not sure how else to put it. The incentive to put gamification into public sector digitisation is basically always good. You did it because you wanted better surgeons. We did it because we wanted people to take their medicine, the jobless to get jobs, parents to take more interest in their children and so on. Basically all good intentions, but the tool isn’t for good intentions. It’s a tool to make people spend time on something they might not want to spend time on, so why did we ever think it would be a fitting tool for our good intentions?

The results were always somewhat similar to yours. Recipients engaged more on the whole. There were rebels, people who gamed the systems and a range of other outliners, but as a whole people engaged more. The process also failed to cultivate any of the developments that the process people had hoped for. I was never really surprised to see the attempts fail. I know I’m a little “special” in that I have ADHD, and that it manifests in a way where it’s basically impossible for me to engage in anything I find boring. So aside from being terrible at meetings (and yes, I quickly quit management), it also renders me sort of immune to gamification while also being weirdly inflicted by it as anyone with ADHD will likely attest to. Anyway, those systems, the ones that give you a “win-streak” for taking your medicine every day, they aren’t fun. I want the streak, but I also don’t care because it’s not fun, and so I forget to take my medicine just as much, and at some point, it becomes more fun to break the streak.

All of this is obviously very anecdotal, but my personal experience with these systems, and how they aren’t actually fun, seems to correlate with how they seem to fail to incentivise the development their creators want, unless that development is for people to spend a lot of money on video games. I do wonder if there is any actual science on the subject, it would be interesting to see if my anecdotal stories here are just silly stories. They likely are, there must be a reason “gamification” won the hearts and minds of good intended, highly educated and very professional people who want to use the methods for good things.

The reason is most people can tell red from green and big from small, and most people use graphic designs daily, so will have an opinion on whether a design element should be bigger or redder.

> For me gamification turns some things into a slog.

same for me. i admit it still feels nice to "watch the number go up", mostly on content platforms with a social component to it (hn, reddit, stackoverflow) as you feel whatever you've said has either been useful to, or at least resonated with someone. as social creatures it's only normal to seek some sort of validation.

i think the only gamification set of features i've fallen for in the recent years has been duolingo, which has me practicing every day, even if just for 3-5 minutes. the way they've done it is quite interesting as they have what i'd call different levels of gamification you can buy into. the most basic one being your daily streak but then you have stuff like daily quests, monthly badges, league standings, friend quests and probably more stuff i can't remember now.

the article does cover quite a few examples and i like how the author hints at the chance that, at times, he'd probably be better of not maintaining his streak as that alone ends up resulting in an output that's not desirable (eg. stackoverflow answers with little value). however he left out some cases where gamification is tied to a normally positive impact like step counters (ignoring the data collection).

Nah look more closely. They are slanted
I recognize the author’s argument from the Atomic Habits books — inner motivation heavily stems from the picture of self.

The example used in the book (there used for stopping negative habits) was that of smoking. A smoker that is looking to quit goes out with a colleague for a smoke break, and the colleague offers him one. If he refuses by saying “I don’t smoke now/I’m trying to quit”, he will much more likely not be able to quit his addiction. But if he answers with “I’m not a smoker”, he is on a good path.

It was a really eye opening part of that book for me - people’s view of themselves recursively depends on past experiences/facts and inner motivations. If we do (or don’t do in case of smoking) something a lot of time we can accept it as our new selves, and vice versa.
I mean, that's kinda exactly Chomsky's point, minus the implication (perhaps malinferred) that human-like linguistic is an inevitable or universal characteristic of intelligent minds.

There's lots of animals that have very complex brains, and that engage in very complex behaviors - the fact that none of them have even a hint of linguistic ability seems like a strong indicator that these faculties are a human-specific evolution, and not just... well IDK how to even sum up an anti-UG/GG view. "Kids just sorta figure it out" I guess?

Although who knows! As Chomsky likes to say, this whole field is in a pre-Galilean state due to the impossibility of conducting comparative studies

EDIT: Oh just realized you were the parent comment. Well I'd say the small NN vs. LLM example still doesn't convince me of the likelihood of your statement as I understand it; it goes without saying that lots of animals are much better at intuitive understandings of physics (well, kinetics at least) than humans.

I imagine there's a few trick things that could be done on the map page like nailing the coordinates, doing the timer --- and then bouncing over to Google Forms via the power of pre-filled links.
I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding what misogyny is. The issue is not if statements here can or can not be backed by data (some probably can, some can’t, some are misrepresented).

Misogyny is not prejudice. It also simply is dislike or contempt for women as a gender. Something which is clearly on display throughout this whole page.
It does. Dentistry is excluded from Medicare entirely, and with many "elective" procedures (i.e. ligament repairs, endometriosis removal, tonsillectomy) you might have to wait it pain for months until you're seen, unless you have private insurance and are willing to pay the "gap".

That doesn't mean to say that it's as bad as in the US, but it does exist.

I'd also go out on a limb and say that there are more poor people in the USA than in Australia per capita, which might factor into how many people can't afford healthcare.
I'd like to say that this is one of the best explanations of the epilogue I've ever read. Thank you.
Imagine that I write my CV in a plain .txt file, but then add it to self-extracting rar and send it to you. If you open the file with notepad it will be kind of unreadable. If you execute it, you can read the .txt file. Did you just broke my encryption?

It is the same, they may send you the URL encrypted (more likely obfuscated), but then they also send you the code. In this case, they are giving you all you need to decrypt it. You just run their code that they sent to you.

IANAL, but if I post my username/password here, I should not be able to sue you that you hacked my account.
Fwiw, sometimes they follow through.
Rana Foroohar effectively wrote about this in her amazing book, "Makers and Takers". She discusses the ongoing transformation of the economy from one of innovation to one of financial services - using companies like Ford and Apple as examples. Frankly, it's brilliant and highly recommended, regardless of agreeing with her nor not.

If anyone has read her second book, I'd love to know your thoughts - I'm debating it, and given what think pieces are books can be... it's a serious investment for me.

Random data point: I paid for Apollo Pro (not Ultra - it didn't have any features that I wanted), and turns out I've lied about 99.999%, it was more like eight nines as I have a Reddit account since 2011 and my only post ever was on r/KeybaseProofs. I thought I had some questions that I've wanted to post, but it seems that I've always solved them without ever posting, just searching for answers harder - so my memory had failed me.

Apollo is convenient and features were totally worth the money. Even for someone who only browses and posts only comments. The official app is no good.

So... I don't know. I share your hopes that everyone else is not like me (but then why no one is posting on Fediverse?)
The Therapeutic Potentials of Ayahuasca
Unpopular opinion: I find with long projects that development speed later on depends a lot on whether we made good decisions early on. Stopping to figure out an architectural thing can make things easily changeable later. Keeps your speed up, even a couple of years into a project.

"Do it fast" feels really, really good. It's motivating, and you feel like you're pushing forward. But it can really slow you down in the long run. Eventually, everything's so coupled that it takes weeks or months to add new features or fix bugs because you can't touch anything without breaking five other things.

As a mentor-of-sorts once told me, you end up feeling like the street sweeper after the parade

Of course, this is only rational if you know what you're building ahead of time, and that you'll need the things you're preparing to build

Location Location Location is not everything it's cracked up to be... or maybe it is. I moved to one of the cheapest places in the country a few years ago and I've been buying real estate like mad. Granted, the crime is horrific and most of the houses I've bought are dumps, but the price was so low!? I just don't understand what's going on here, and elsewhere. I literally bought a small house for less than $400. Not a great house by any means, but still... I feel like either I'm missing something, or everyone else is.

I'm doubling down too. If prices equalize even a little I'll make millions.
Ooh, that's obnoxious, you're being routed the long way around the world because the closest cloudflare entry point is Singapore, by the looks of things.

It's not massively worse than what I get from here:

11. 103.168.172.63 0.0% 5 251.0 251.2 250.8 251.9 0.5

We're using cloudflare for DDoS protection and hence our packets all go into their edge where they get scrubbed before being passed to our hosts. They don't inspect the content at all, so they can't terminate early, which means every packet is round tripping that 350ms.

BUT - JMAP should still mean it's only a couple of round trips to have a fully loaded mailbox.

This is not a "free" license in the widely-understood sense. At least Oracle ain't calling this "open source", but still. This trend of corporations inventing newfangled non-free licenses and calling them things they clearly are not really needs to stop.
I disagree. Pension is an insurance for accidental long life. Unless pension, everyone must hoard their property enough to live until about 90-100yo. It's a big waste for society.
Does anyone else have issues with the cells overlapping or shrinking in vscode? I've had this issue for months. Created an issue on GitHub, but there's been no improvements. It can be very frustrating, sometimes I have to completely close vscode and reopen to get it to stop glitching constantly. I tried switching the GPU to the nvidia card, but it somehow uses 30% of the GPU when a cell is running.

Email is old and established, so basically you get what you pay for.

We’ve found deliverability to correlate directly with the price of the service we’re using.

The cheaper the company offers access to a sending IP, the lower the quality of people using it, since price is the number 1 factor for spammers (a necessity since untargeted cold email spam has low conversion rates).
yup. Without the 'reddit' suffix, the search quality is borderline garbage.
Of course some things are justified expenditures for taxes, I’m not a minarchist, but those things should be thought through very carefully. Healthcare is a commodity unlike power generation, roads, or perhaps even fire service. On that sense I’d argue it’s just a direct $$ transfer at that point and essentially stealing.
His "place", maybe?
What a nice piece of work!
I saw the writing on the wall for EagleCAD once they stopped releasing any kind of bug fixes despite charging subscription fees and started ignoring the forums other than triaging the complaints. It was clear they were going to do this and break EagleCAD to force people to use Fusion 360.

I don't use Windows, I don't want to, I've used Fusion 360 and it was slow as heck, didn't have constraint based solving that worked, was written in some awful system that made it require an internet connection, and they want me to use an EagleCAD-themed editor that they've hacked in?

I switched to using KiCAD for all new projects a year ago. It was a little bit of a learning curve. I started with designing a flexible heater PCB, which was good for a learning project because it had so few components. Now I'm making PCBs with four layers, inner ground and power planes, custom design rules, using fancy add-ons, taking full advantage of the HTML BOM plugin when teaching grad students how to solder, and I can be 100% sure that even if it gets worse I can still get the old version to work (probably).

Even the part library is more coherent and higher quality (!) than the EagleCAD one. I literally refused to use the built in EagleCAD libraries because the quality was so variable, sometimes it's fine, sometimes I ruin an entire PCB because their version of SO-8 had a weird width. KiCAD is way better, it's closer to OrCAD and lets me make the schematic, assign the footprints, and if I don't like a footprint I can just edit it on the fly for that document or to just save a new version of the footprint forever.

I've even got it set up to use Dropbox to share designs between computers (no issues) and that includes downloading STP 3D models and adding them to my footprints.

I know it's going to take me a while longer to be nearly as adept as I was at EagleCAD, and I'm going to miss that autorouter (the KiCAD one is very good for what it is, but it's a hard problem). There's a lot of keyboard shortcuts that you internalize after 20 years of using a program.

But it will be worth it, and frankly already is worth it. I've had to make like four custom footprints because the default library is just so well organized that I can actually find the one or maybe two versions of WSON-10 or whatever instead of having to guess which library has the version that matches my mechanical drawing.
