That would be fair if OO/FP posts had always mentioned that the ideas were borne out of academia and don't necessarily easily apply in other domains, but that ship has sailed..
I think studies like this should be less targeted to schools of therapy (like CBT vs ADepT), and more toward looking at the effectiveness of concrete practices like describing thought patterns, talking about dreams, doing written exercises about thought patterns, etc.

Terms like CBT are very broad and every CBT based therapist does things somewhat differently so comparing CBT as a whole seems to make less sense in my mind
> "There's this awkwardness," he says. "It's kind of verboten to say anything about tipping in front of the tip screen. You're not supposed to talk about tipping."

And so I feel awkward when the tip screen comes up... the person _behind_ the tip screen feels awkward... why are we _both_ subjected to this terrible situation?
Because compiled languages tend to introduce a class of errors that are hard to deal with and offers no benefit for IO bound applications.

Compiled GC languages? Maybe. There's a reason Go is exploding, even though it's type system actually sucks.

This is not even the first time this year that Azure AD has been owned sideways.

I have no idea how Azure maintains its reputation as a safe enterprise choice. Microsoft really just has an almost impenetrable reputation I guess?
I used to use it to make sure I made progress on projects my aim was I would do something everyday. Some days I did very little other days I did alot. I stopped caring about that approach.

Well, location and (aparently) attitude of workers/service providers does matter. If I call a taxi, it arrives with a 99.9% probability. And it usually takes around 5 minutes to arrive. In fact, fiddling with an app to order a taxi would be more time consuming then the 10 second phone call. IOW, if you have working infrastructure, Uber isn't even a competitor.
So would you agree with Weizenbaum that it’s immoral to have a computer teach a child to read? If the child doesn’t have a teacher available I assume you’d find that immoral as well but then who should suffer for that immorality?
My institution's been included in studies primarily for patient access. If we're not included, then good luck getting enough patients, and even then it can take several years to enroll enough patients. Replicating such a trial would be near impossible.

At one point, you could backdate commits and push them to GitHub to make art with the red/green squares. I don't know if that still works, but recruiters generally won't be able to tell whether you're faking commit activity.

In another life I used to be one of those third parties that scraped social media for usage metrics back when the APIs were much more permissible. I can tell you that when we got to see internal numbers, we were at most 5%-10% off on all our key metrics. Importantly we were consistently off by a similar margin on each metric so overall our data was very high quality for this type of comparison.
The US made more sense when I understood that almost everything, with the exception of prescription drugs, is post-market regulated. Meaning you can take your electric self driving car, crypto scam, etc. to market and then have to face the consequences after the fact if it turns out to do harm to consumers. Other places like Europe are more pre-market regulated for things like this. Which leads to much slower adoption of innovative new products, but also less issues like this.
I have a 2014 Nissan Leaf S (the lowest trim). It’s refreshingly simple, it has a screen but it’s only for the radio and it’s not a touch screen. Tactile controls for everything.

It has an 80 mile range, which is fine for everything around the region, and my family has a gas car anyway. The 80 mile range keeps the prices pretty low, too. Highly recommended for a nearly free-to-use EV without the techno stuff.

(We also have a 2015 Leaf SL, the top trim, and it has the touchscreen stuff. SL has 360 camera, leather seats, fancy sound system and that’s about it. Get the S. It’s all you need.)
> how can this discussion affirm it?

Imagine something always tasted vile to you. So you decide to not consume it, but you see that others are consuming it. Then you learn that some signs point towards it being unhealthy. Would that make you think "I knew it! I tasted the poison" (aka affirming your initial decision) or would it undermine it in your opinion?
Another set of things annoying about Google Maps:
- Google shows pins for locations on the map. Often if I try to click one, it zooms in on a new pin on a random lat/lon next to it. This mostly happens when zoomed out with a wide view of the city. Obviously I was going for that random location, not the ad you were trying to show me.
- It routinely shows me illegal routes, some of which I don't notice until I'm well on my way to the route. I know some of this is a data problem, but I don't think the cops will care that Google told me to turn at a "no turns during rush hour" place.
They probably don't know how to close tabs.
Why can't we do both? i.e. give an honest account of the pros and cons of different approaches rather than treating them like dogma

Rural busses are quite common, often ranging between "one trip into town a week" and "round trip daily/hourly".

Often they stop at the small towns, so really rural people still have to walk to town, but from there they can get "to the big city".

Because you have never worked for a large business. It is almost impossible to build anything anywhere, there are massive amounts of regulations if you do get started, interventions from multiple levels of government, it is genuinely mad. Look at mortgages, you have the government telling private banks to bail out mortgage-holders...do you think this would happen in Czechia? Just think about is happening: bank executives were summoned to No.10, they were told they were going to have to lose billions of pounds a year to pay for people's mortgages, they accepted this completely...is this normal?

...what? Stop for a second and think about what you are saying. Do you believe that one of the largest export markets for the EU was suddenly shut down overnight?

The rules with VAT are unrelated to Brexit, and were largely due to the staggering levels of VAT fraud occurring with imports from China. If you are sending things to relatives, you do not pay VAT...that isn't what it is for.

Baffling. I don't even know what to say at this point. You don't understand how any of this stuff works, why rules were change, these points should be obviously wrong to you with even the slightest application of logic.

Okay, you claim your weird points...look at the results of any public company that trades with Europe. You have companies that run cross-border meat processing, something that was supposed to be impossible after Brexit...none reported any impact (because they prepared their documents, and this was something that most of these companies were already doing because...surprise, surprise...the EU does not encompass the whole world, and they traded in and outside of the EU already).
I use Flywheel and taxis occasionally: red lanes usable and curbside already available pickup at SFO. However, each time it's a horrendous experience.

Vehicles are bottom tier. Cab driver will always insist on just being like "What's the cross street?" (Bro use the satnav). Way more expensive.
My experiences with Linux have been anything but seamless.
Money excuses any behavior for some folks, but I think the thesis falls apart when assuming a salable product/service has real associated monetary value.

While “Pig in a poke (cat in a bag)” scams fall across many markets, a far more popular “Noorseekee (нурсики)” scam seems particularly prevalent in global technology and property assets. i.e. people convincing other people something is valuable before reality shatters the illusion.

This isn’t new, and fighting dirty to gain dominant market share for an artificial monopolistic position hijacks critical thinking. The stock markets main function is to wash away accountability, and leverage information asymmetry to siphon equity out of the losers.

And yes, by definition poor people are often irrationally competitive, and lack impulse control. Those who foolishly take credit for scams often suffer rather unsurprising consequences.

That’s being generous as only 1/10 can actually be fully reproduced from my understanding. It’s so bad that if you want to create a product based on research your first need to reproduce the result to make sure it’s not bs.
For me personally there's a certain amount of inertia yet to getting over to ChatGPT. I usually reach for code documentation or StackOverflow first, just out of _habit_, not even preference. Eventually I'll train myself to chat with the bot more often.

The point about CI is super strong; GitHub Actions almost made me quit being a programmer and I've been doing things professionally ever since Winter 2001.

I don't think much of Drew DeVault -- whether I agree with him or not is not at all relevant to any decision of using his products IMO -- but I'll vote with all three hands for a better and more seamless CI!

I was not aware of that aspect of SourceHut so now I'll seriously consider it.

I can't imagine having more than a dozen tabs open, period. You tab hoarders will never make sense to me...
>I have never paid any attention to that at all. It surprises me that some do.

Same. I'm only now realizing some people actually do care about that, from the replies to this thread. I think it's weird. I'm not religious (or theist for that matter), but caring about these things reminds me of Matthew 6:7-8:

"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

But I can see how "gamefying" things to get improved consistency and thus better results can be beneficial to some. Not for me, sadly.
Maybe in your world, but certainly not mine.

More correctly: we don't know how to do this efficiently. Biological neural networks don't use backpropagation and work great.
This was a big book at the time. It's kind of amazing that we're still having the same debates about AI so many years later. Almost 50 years later.
This thread is the first time I’ve even heard about people caring about the squares.
What Is Complexity?
no one said it was a backdoor, though. you have to have a key to encrypt stuff, and it was that key which got leaked, somehow. a backdoor is a way around the use of a key to see secret messages, or an alternate key which allows you to view messages without compromising the key which encrypts messages in normal operation.

could have been a backdoor, sure, could have been something else. could have been carelessness. could have been blackmail. could have been a rogue employee. could have been malware, spear fishing, or any one of a hundred other things.

did I miss something or are you premature in blaming this on a backdoor?
Oh wow, I didn’t know you could say that. I should have told the taxi driver this when he said my card was declined (the reader was broken, so he had to use his phone with the Square dongle). I ended up having to use my other (debit) card, which annoyed me a lot… Paying cash was not an option, since I needed a receipt. He didn’t even have a printer, so I had to enter my email, which annoyed me even more. This was from Orlando airport to a hotel ($65 wo/tip)… going back I went with Lyft and it cost ($42 incl tip) and there is no problem paying.
> To me wealth inequality is how much of the country's wealth the top % own versus the bottom %

That's exactly what the GINI formula is, though. (Pedantry: the formula can be applied to any measurement, be it income or wealth or blueberries. We'll assume wealth.)

The reason some of those numbers look weird to you is that the most common form of wealth is house ownership. In Germany, Benelux and Scandinavia house ownership is quite low, while in Southern and Eastern Europe it is extremely high.

Who is better off? Someone who inherited a home, or purchased it relatively easily, but earns a weak salary? Or someone who must rent because he cannot afford a house, but earns a much higher salary and has more disposable income?
So you don’t think that having a shorter history of certain workers rights is also a proxy for current workers rights?

That you can just wave a magic legal wand and go from zero to workers paradise in 25, 50, 100 years?

Don't lowball your consulting rate!

* Your price sends a signal that attracts particular clients, and the ones you attract with lowball prices are the worst, most demanding kind.

* Your ordinary good clients aren't shopping on price, beyond a vague notion of what the normal range of prices for your field is. Remember: they're generally not spending their own money.

* Any client big enough to have a purchasing department is never going to let you get your rate back; their whole job is to prevent vendors from ever raising rates.

* There are a zillion things you're selling as a consultant that you don't realize you're selling, from schedule flexibility and freedom to fire at will to answering phone calls about the project deliverable 3 weeks after the project is done to not having to pay benefits and payroll taxes to documentation, and you're much more likely to forget to capture this stuff in your prices than you are to overcapture it.

I'm not sure I've ever met a new consultant that had unrealistically high rates. But most new consultants I've met have had unrealistically low rates.

If a client balks at your rate, you can still get the project cost where they need it to be: negotiate on scope instead of rate.

Never bill hourly. Hourly is cursed.
The only Linux desktop environment that I found that looks and feels integrated and polished is Gnome, but that is because it's a slow as molasses, corporate focused and dumbed down copycat of the other mainstream OSes.
Sure, but the point made by the person I replied to was that you shouldn't care about your job. Also, it's normally quite difficult to do a job which requires collaboration when other people don't care about it. Likewise, it becomes difficult to not get burned out if you care about a job and your employer doesn't recognize and reward this.

I think overall my objection is to blanket advice I've heard during my life about how much care I should put into my work. I have never been able to be effective (and as a result have had issues with) doing meaningless work which I didn't care about. I have also had issues with continuing to care about work which people I work with didn't care about.

It's clear that a carefree approach works for some people but in this case it seems like better advice for OP would be to explain how to find jobs where people do care rather than trying to tell him (and other people in that situation) to just deal with it.

>Lack of CLN2 protein. Golgi bodies create lysosomal enzymes. Green proteins are in the membrane of the Golgi. Lysosomal enzyme transport from the Golgi to the lysosomes is disrupted leading to defective lysosomes and disdirectred enzymes.
Researchers studied the lack of functional CLN3 protein, which underlies Batten disease. They found lack of the protein leads to a breakdown of the M6PR receptor (green) in the lysosomes and subsequent disruption of needed lysosomal enzymes and the formation of normal lysosomes.

You're right, they can do whatever they want to do. That doesn't mean they are free from bring criticized for doing it.

I do not understand how we are defending a clickbait headline right now.

The headline was intentionally written in a way that it does not make sense to get someone to click it. By saying "read the article" we are rewarding that behavior.

Are you also going to defend the clickbait of Kotaku?

I understand why these companies do it, but I refuse to give them a free pass encouraging clicking a clickbait headline when talking about the fact that the headline does not make sense.

I work for NASA. Our budget is like $25B. We’re definitely inefficient and wasteful, but we still do a lot of new things. Just not nearly as much as we could.

Microsoft’s operating budget was like $123B last year. There are bugs in office products that have been there for years

What exactly are they doing with all that money?
That doesn't sound so clear. If the code is used to train AI, there's a nonzero chance that human eyes will see it. But if they're not going to use the code to train AI, then why not just say so?

It is strange to me too. I would have gone with something like "Git host" or "code hosting service".

The term "forge", when applied to something other than metalworking, still implies a place where things are made, molded, or altered. It doesn't seem fitting for a place where you store your source code and make it available for download.
Fedora does that automatically if encryption enabled on install.
For your comment to make sense to me, you are saying that the pharma sponsored clinical trials are untrustworthy data?

I've not heard that claim but am interested. Overprescripton certainly doesn't require that the trials were bad in any way.

And I'm also curious about this idea of overprescription, because I hear it sometimes from extremely political people but have never heard it from scientists (and scientists are always trying to find some way to critique current practice, so that statins don't rise to that level is a surprise to me).
In Arizona, 75% of transportation infrastructure comes from licensing, vehicle registration, gas taxes and other miscellaneous income directly related to road use. Does everyone not using those services derive ⅓ the benefit of those that do? You certainly travel on roads and/or use food and services that do?

I’d be completely fine if 100% of transportations budget came from fees directly related to use (increase gas or mileage taxes and decrease income or property taxes). For most people it would probably be net zero, and for those that save on taxes the increased cost to businesses would be passed on to customers in increased prices.
