I agree.

There's decades of research and informed commentary on the topic. Read those instead of this.

I'm far from an expert. I put in some likely keywords into Google Scholar and found https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1314759.pdf with far more about why we cite ("Citing is a political act. It is a practice that can work both sides of the same coin: it can give voice, and it can silence.") with survey results that give you an idea of why people cite, and problems with some common citation practices.

If their job is to be representative of the people in their community and those people have a popular opinion, that doesn’t seem to strike me as wrong necessarily.

Politicians preach about something, collect votes, then change their minds...
~25 years ago I had teacher after teacher tell me (and my parents) that the time I spent learning and on computers was a total waste of time.

~1.5 years ago it was totally racist and xenophobic to think a lab escape in Wuhan could be a viable source of the pandemic.

~15 years ago being queer was something you should be quiet about.

~10 years ago a language supporting simple asynchronous paradigms, static and cross compilation was a "waste of time".

~30 years ago OOP was the only acceptable and superior paradigm.

~45 years ago psychology was equivalent to voodoo.

These attitudes do not exist in a vacuum where the people that hold them hold them all. Had I ejected and mocked people from my life for them, I'd have very few friends today, and maybe a good percentage of those friends would've never changed their minds. In net, less people changing their minds yields less progress over time. It also results in an Orwellian sense of right without reason and decreased dialogue between opposing views to determine rightness; some people call this a "chilling effect". The point of life is not to be right, but to continually try to understand better. The cynicism and mockery of today's society combined with exacting tools like weaponizing shame and guilt are abhorrent and anti-progress.
The world is 100k blocks to a side, with players split up in groups of 20 over the whole thing. Since allocation rose steadily from 35 min and peaked from 47 to 63 minutes, I'm guessing they were spread out pretty widely.

There were 113 regions in one of the pictures- call it 9 players per region, with ~927 live unique chunks (8x8 chunks for 9 players ~=566, plus a 19x19 area around the world origin thats always loaded). From what I can tell a Minecraft block is a bit over 10 kB. So ~10 MB per region.

If each thread is allocating 10 MB for each region on each tick (which the screenshot shows is 8 ticks per second) *that would work out to 8.6 gigabytes per second*. IMO, that's too close to be a coincidence- I'm thinking there are a lot of shared chunks per region, but the threads are copying significant amounts of data by value or they just have an absurd overhead.

Don't know if it's weird or not. Maybe weird that people end up that way, being the sort to mock people? Maybe my reasoning on that kinda person is flawed so I'll write it out to share. Ain't weird because that sorta person seems to do it because it wasn't about being true or not it was about feeling smug and wanting to tell everyone else "I told you so" even if they never did.

I don't know if there's words for this other than "being a jerk" or somethin. Some people want good reasons, others seem to want circling the wagons and it ain't about the reasons just about that other person being the family across the hill you been feudin with. Anyone got a better way to put it? Seems like how feudin people treat one another. "You're wrong even when you're right" sorta thing
Yeah, you shouldn't change your mind immediately after the first resistance to your conviction. But you shouldn't merely brush it off either. Take it seriously, think about it, consider different angles, and then change your mind if that really seems more accurate.
Years ago, I wrote a script to find something in a big blob of data and to alert me when it was done, I added a “say <some glib Rambo or Schwarzenegger>” type phrase upon completion. I forgot about it and went to bed and was jolted awake hours later by what was clearly an “intruder” speaking to his accomplice, in my home office. Quite the relief when I realized what happened.
It is weird, but our society really won't tolerate you changing you mind over something you were previously sure of, so it's better to just stick to what you believe.

We live in a world where you can have your career ruined over Tweets from a decade or more ago even if you long since changed your mind. Given that you might as well hold firm and be unapologetic, because no one cares if you grew and changed as a person.

Yes it's true. Changing mind aliases with being easily suggestible.
Amazing. I am a reasonably educated person and I would've significantly underestimated the depths of most living creature representatives, based on my limited knowledge of pressure math.

Maybe he's thinking about politicians being mocked when their "beliefs" are shown to be insincere.
Problem is when you cast your vote based on a position and they change their mind after because it's not popular with donors etc.

I find it so annoying that these only work with plain text and RTF. On X11 there is `xclip`[0] and on Wayland there is `wl-clipboard`[1] both of which support binary file formats either through parsing the header or explicitly setting the MIME type.

This means you can do things like copy an image from the terminal and paste it into a graphical program like a browser or chat client and vice-versa. Also can be very useful in shell scripts for desktop automation.

The workaround on MacOS is to use AppleScript via `osascript` to `set the clipboard to...`.

Interesting. I wonder whether they have learned anything from their observations.
I would probably let numbers be part of the tracked event, because it might be important for things like. "Took 500mg of painkillers" or something.
OS/2 Warp did something similar to what you describe, but with FTP sites: You could navigate them using the file manager, just like any other folder, create links, bookmarks, etc.

I vaguely remember saving web bookmarks as files, and using the built-in browser to navigate them to them. The shell (WPS) had the philosophy: "everything is an object".

It was very cool for its time.
Such people are mocked if the mockers believe there is still something flawed about their reasoning and that they're likely to make the same mistake in the future.
When mentioning `open` they should have noted that `open <file>` will open the given file with its associated app.

Also for things like sharing public ssh keys. Instead of "can you send me your public key" and getting something with random line breaks depending on the users text editor I just have to ask them to "cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy".

It’s because Paul Graham said it. He’s one of the people that started YCombinator and Hacker News.

He often says stuff without sufficient context which seems insightful but has a much more narrow application than advertised.

It’s vague enough to generate a lot of discussion because everyone reads what they want into his statements.

I honestly believe he is sincere but doesn’t take the time to analyze the idea.

(Wow, I find the sheer volume of wannabe influencer rando blue-ticks whose replies are prioritised under that tweet quite off-putting)

It's not that weird if you look at the circumstances of the people who first believed ~P and then moved to P.

As an example -- about 15 years back I knew someone who would pretty much eat any meat under the sun and then some, while mocking and demeaning people on vegetarian diets (me included, at the time). Now I see for the last couple of years or so that they've turned quite strongly vegan, and their Instagram feed/stories is full of anti-animal cruelty stuff -- while mocking, demeaning and shaming people who eat meat.

I guess what I'm trying to say is: if I mocked this person for being a hypocrite, it's really more so because they're being an asshole. And that -- unlike Paul G's second tweet -- says more about them than it does about me, IMHO.

I've no problems with people who change their mind in a thoughtful, nuanced way, while explaining what led them there; and preferably also held their original ~P position in a non-dickish manner.

I think there's a big difference in really believing in an issue, pushing it whenever it comes up, and then changing your mind and saying "forget I said anything", versus really believing in that issue, and then changing your mind and explaining why you changed your mind, putting effort in correcting your earlier mistake, and now putting at least as much effort in the better side of the issue.

The latter is a convincing change of mind. The former looks more like abandoning a feebly held belief.
Not a good argument, all around the world people are allowed to cross a road and don't usually stay standing there.
I don't think PG is using a straw man. Rather, he's talking about "politics and other performatively dishonest arenas", which GP excluded, as outside of those areas, mockery is kind of... stupid.

Electing someone, at least in a democratic system, with a mandate would be quite foolhardy.

1. It signals that the candidate has a lack of interest in doing the actual job. In fairness, you may share the same lack of interest. It is certainly the easy way out, but nobody ever said that democracy is easy. If you really don't want democracy there are better options than trying to pretend.

2. Even if you buy into the mandate presented during an election campaign, it is going to be woefully out of date before it can be executed on. The state of the world is constantly changing. Which means you still have to put in the work to oversee the employee you hired, buying you little if you thought #1 would be a shortcut.

The problem is the gerontocracy as well as incompetence, lack of accountability if not outright corruption in some cases. The current system doesn't have adequate safeguards to defend against these issues and the problem will persist, Tories or not.
It's sad that people are mocked for it but changing you mind is not free, it's a burden for your family, friends, colleagues and readers. Like changing an API the burden might be worth it or not and like Postel's law:

Because the rules are different for federal and non federal government.

I have never seen a US state or smaller jurisdiction be able to tax an entity that does not perform work or reside within its boundaries, so I am curious which one it is so I can look it up.

See this federal law prohibiting states from taxing non residents:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/114

> (a) No State may impose an income tax on any retirement income of an individual who is not a resident or domiciliary of such State (as determined under the laws of such State).

Based on the answers to this question, what I suspect is happening is to morvita’s mom is erroneously having state income taxes withheld for a state she does not live in, which she is then filing a non resident tax return to get a refund.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/i-r...

However, morvita’s mom should just tell the pension administrator to stop withholding income tax that they will never owe.

I don’t think it’s uncommon to believe the person who started with the right answer is smarter, or wiser than the person who had to work to get there. However, many people land in the right answer right away by chance. If we valued finding the truth over being right, people would more often admit they had the right answer by simply guessing or because they followed their tribe.
You would like all firmware to be open source.

I agree that would be nice. Though for most of these chips it wouldn't help too much without documentation for the chip and all its peripherals/registers, and probably a signing key to get it to actually run your code.

The fact that the code is closed source doesn't really change the trust model much either since the code is usually supplied by the chip vendor. If they wanted to do nasty things and keep them secret they could do it in hardware.
Alas, it’s too easy judge conviction incorrectly — by mannerisms, posture, swagger, tone of voice, etc. and are misled by well-coached imposters. Worse, many seem to prefer candidates with loads of apparent conviction in terrible things. Adolf didn’t exactly lack conviction, recall, and people were drawn to it.
It's small-minded actions like this that would ruin any attempts to moderate meaningfully. It can be effective by its own definition, but not serve the community's best interests. This 'rule' and blind applications is what makes moderation easier and worse. The exercise should instead be demonstrating how moderation is hard to do well because it's not always cut-and-dried.

Similar thing noticed when visiting Korea as US natives. My wife was in a group that all headed off to the restroom at a restaurant just after getting a table, with a couple of in-laws who live there leaving their purses on the table. My wife exclaimed that they were forgetting their purses, to which they replied that it was on purpose and how else would they make sure somebody doesn't get their table!?
The experience many authors have of unlocking deep wisdom from drugs seems genuine, in the sense that they are not lying about it, but any actual wisdom involved is hard to find. I wait for the day when the common 60's literature scene of the protagonist doing mushrooms and having his mind blown is mocked by all.
Also, never ever ever do they mention anything about human genetics. There are people who carry more hunter-gatherer traits than others. So who is this diet really for?

Genetics matter. I am a FUT2 non-secretor and this effects my gut health tremendously. I had IBD-D for years before I found this out. Before then if I took any pre or pro-biotics it was a nightmare, but that was supposed to be the healthy thing to do.

So sorry, but I do not listen to any nutritional research anymore that over generalizes a genetically diverse population.

I don't think that's the commenter I replied to's concern though, given the 'love' for it and description of 'similar fatty acids' to vegetable.

I didn't mean that lower smoke point is a show-stopper, just that all else being equal a higher one is objectively better, as is a lower price.
This article offers an incorrect causal explanation. Profits don't account for anything. Profits are the result of other effects. Corporations always try to maximise profits. If their profits are higher than previously, the question is, why can they get away with it? Why is competition not eliminating the profits? Why is the price for labour not rising together with other prices?

The explanation is: When the quantity of money is expanded, prices don't all rise equally fast. There is a lag for certain adjustments, depending on how often a price is renegotiated and how distant the parties are from the financial system.

That’s what a strawman argument is. He’s attempting to artificially narrow the discussion.

Years ago, I home rolled my own web server.

Why? Security --- it is dedicated and limited to a single purpose so every request can be scrutinized and validated and verified. Attack surface is minimized and totally unique so any hacker is starting from ground zero. The only common vulnerability is the OS network stack.

After 25 years of being openly exposed and attacked on the internet, it has never been breached --- at least to my knowledge. In that time, I think I've saved a lot of time and money watching exploits for commonly used web servers just pass me by.
