yeah, the collapse is coming, any day now.

just like the US federal reserve, the US federal debt, the US stock market... it's all going to collapse any day now.

Yes, worse but it depends on what type of page you're working in. If it's of medium complexity and up, it's worse (a few media elements, maybe a database, etc.)

If it's just text, it's faster than JIRA or Teams.

The demand for human radiologists never actually went down, though[1]. There is improved efficiency due to technology, but it hasn't kept up with increased demand for scanning and increased patient volumes. There's also induced demand caused by efficiency increasing. Diagnostic AI tends to make different kinds of errors than a human, so even if it were better, both together is even stronger.

The "Radiologists are being replaced by technology" story has been repeated so many times by uninformed software developers that it has become popular wisdom, but the reality so far is that we need more radiologists than ever.

Ironically, radiology might be a decent proxy for what could happen with software engineering, but in the opposite way you intend.

Block chord and barry harris chord style playing is a post 50's thing and is very much two handed. All organ and many piano players can do left hand bass lines while playing if they have no chord playing. The fact that the melody is typically above the chords is an arrangement thing based on acoustics and psychoacoustics (look up masking). You can't just do the same thing anywhere on the piano without getting muddy sounding, so unless you want to cross your arms...

Most pianists put the melody on top because it sounds better and doesn't conflict with the bass.

Right. The past is true, but your memories are flawed, and your experience is incomplete. You have to make an effort to get the facts right. To get a full understanding of any situation, a good start is to talk to anyone you can who was there when it happened.
If you read the articles you’ll need a browser anyway, so just use a web browser.
Everything about this smells like "we're going to say we're open-source and that you're always fully in control" and then you read the fine print and find out there's some way to rugpull or some other barrier that will screw the user.

At this stage, having seen so many of these things, I'm comfortable disbelieving them outright WITHOUT reading further.
That's useless if the client also sends the same data to Any's node. You can't disable that for now:

The self-hosting-only feature is not released yet. If you don’t want to use Anytype node and instead use p2p sync between your devices, you can block Anytype network traffic (Anytype & Anytype Helper) via your firewall.

Make it extensibe. Usually businesses require this little customization here and there and given you provide the customization points, excellent. OOTB hasn't worked well for me... probably I can use excel then more easily.

Consider Microsoft Power Platform / Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement/Sales for which I'm a developer. Obviously this is a behemot and much more than CRM, but it was born out of CRM! But I want to share things I love about the platform.

The following customization points for power platform goes a VERY LONG WAY to adjust CRM to business needs and I yet have to see a significant roadblock for any customization business has needed:

- Custom tables which are 1st party citizens in all the ways and doesn't have any shortcomings. It supports all the auditing, security model and ability to link to first party tables and other way around.

- Custom attributes for 1st party tables.

- Robust Plugin-Architecure - everything is a message (API calls, CRUD, special operations, etc) - I can "plug-in" into the pipeline either for my messages or 1st party messages and have pre-operations and post operations. I can do sync/async plugin. For sync plugin I can live within same database transaction and make it so that all the transaction succeeds or rollbacks if I choose it so.

- 1st party JS library API that enables limited interaction with the form (show/hide fields, set required, get/set values)

- An option to create own Custom APIs, add a plugin to API and you have a nice extensibility.

- Powerful, consisten WebApi for integration that also supports my custom tables and stuff - CRUD operations and API calls. Can build a completely custom client for the CRM if the platform is lacking somehow.

- Custom components framework - whenever builtin controls/JS is lacking, I can build full-blown control in my choice of JS framework that has particular integration points when hosted within CRM.

As I see it, consistency makes things like that possible.

From the example, it might be better to title this "Why group project-based learning fails."

My own education included learning fundamentals, individual projects, and group projects. I find a mix is the best. Do the fundamentals. Practice them in individual projects while also learning how to teach yourself things that weren't directly taught, which is an important skill set. Finally, practice these skills again in group projects to learn cooperation in software development and how to scale beyond single individual solutions. Source control is a skill you can learn the fundamentals and practice by yourself, but working in a group project makes some of the benefits immediately visible to many students.

You have to match the intended learning with the right environment, there is no single solution.
It seems to me that there are two different things being conflated. I've listened to a number of his interviews and do confess he's not always easy to follow but this seems partly due to a history of speech problems which he has worked to overcome.

There is consensus (even by RFK Jr from what I hear in interviews) that vaccines confer good immunity to the population and help control serious diseases that historically killed or maimed millions of people.

There is also an argument RFK Jr. makes which is that the vaccine solutions contain many harmful components other than the actual vaccine and these components are responsible for many harmful outcomes due to their presence. These harmful side effects should not be considered acceptable and there should be work to eliminate these harms because they are not really acceptable.

However, these positions seem to be routinely headlined as being anti-vaccine. They are not. The argument is anti-harm and that seems to be something people would normally support. Only through misrepresentation of his comments do people come to believe he is against vaccines and he should be "rightly maligned".

His interview with Jordan Peterson was very interesting, especially as it did highlight some of RFK Jr's blindspots on politics. Worth taking time to listen to the whole thing even though it is quite long.
This answers questions I have long had, as I was not previously aware of the Muromachi period.
I mean, I was a GitHub copilot user - but I haven’t checked in such code. I use gpt-4, but I only commit my experimental code.
I mean... there is no 'one thing' any Catholic has done. There have been faithful Catholic Lords/Monarchs, and there have been not-so-faithful ones. Making blanket statements like 'actual fasting was pretty much a poor people thing' is not really a good description. Fasting is really something only the rich can do anyway, since if you're already poor... you're not missing much. There have been very faithful Catholic noble families (the Habsburgs come to mind -- many are still quite faithful today!) and they certainly did the normal fasting.

That being said, I've never heard of replacing the fasting days with a 'repentance fee'. I'm not going to say it's never happened because there have been billions of Catholics, and probably millions of priests so maybe someone did that somewhere. However, under normal Catholic doctrine it's impossible to pay to repent. God's mercy is freely given without money.

AI art isn't illegal, but Steam still has taken a position of not wanting to be the middleman for distribution of such content.

He works for Setec Astronomy.
he's always misrepresented by this imo, and the constant hit pieces are blatant because the camp that he runs against does this as a primary strategy.

he called for long-term safety studies for vaccine use, which is just tracking long-term effects, both positive and negative, to populations after getting vaccinated. he rightly points out a lack of this in the US, and rightly points out the concept of tradeoffs. Yes, vaccines can cause other negative long-term effects that aren't as bad as what you're being vaccinated against, in this case they're pulling a net-good. The case is also up for grabs that when this is a net-good or a net-bad, the information is simply not being shared the way it should, and is instead obfuscated by bureaucracy.

even the latest "anti-semetic" jabs at him are from him entertaining a hypothetical in conversation where he said nothing about jewish people being a cause of anything, its just so tiresome. afaik he spoke correctly on the ace-receptor binding affinities, but the binding affinities don't cause the disease to take root more or less. do i care if he gets this detail wrong? not really, it doesn't make him a super space nazi either. to steel man what he said is to admit there's potential for ethnic targeting of bio-weapons, and since its pretty much widely understood that covid did in fact come from joint US/China idiocy, and that China's financial records show that they're preparing for war in every way possible, I wouldn't put it past a regime who's actions seem to be rhyming with a lot of other regimes from history to try to come up with a bioweapon that could potentially have that effect. The west has, after all, basically been pushing venture capital all over the insane nonsense Xi could end up using against them for the last 20+ years.
true, i guess i phrased it a little bit wrong

Dr Pepper tastes like raisin/prunes (caramelized plum if you prefer) + cherry + vanilla + a hint of black pepper way way way off the back end, in that order.

When I was a junior dev I created a looping mechanism in a vendor product that wasn't designed to loop. I let the company know via support ticket and they included it in their documentation of the product because they didn't know it could do that either. I never dove deep enough to find something new. Nor did I combine ingredients from different fields. You could call it lucky, but I think I was persistent and didn't know what my limitations were and that's why it happened.

"Greatness awaits those who find secret sauce and share the recipe."

No. No it doesn't. Although I really like the post and the positivity in it. I'm going to have to disagree with that point. Sharing your greatness more often results in some narcissist or psychopath (clinical, not conversational) taking credit for your work. In an era of social media infested domains, derivative work leeches off your effort and its more likely someone you've never met will become known for whatever you invent.

I would recommend finding your secret sauce, iterating on it several times, then once you're further ahead of everyone else, share the first generation and promote that. Keep everyone else running to catch up to you and when they get close blow them out of the water by sharing the next generation ahead of where they are at.
>>To nobody’s surprise, MSG makes food taste better. Although replicable, this is wholly unimpressive. To earn your Michelin star, you’ll need to make your umami masterpiece with mushrooms and elk liver and sardine skins.

I liked the overall article but this section seemed off to me. People at the top of their field know when and how to "cheat" - which is why Rick Barry is in the hall of fame for his "granny" style free throw shooting. It's also why Michelin starred restaurants do use MSG (https://cnaluxury.channelnewsasia.com/people/why-are-these-a...).

Cue the banjos. What a great sales pitch. lolsob.

But, there are many 2nd/3rd tier cities and towns that have a reasonable number of jobs, better COL, and possibly better quality of life (depending on your priorities).

Places like Roanoke VA. Small, old industrial city. But, the downtown is fairly vibrant, outdoor recreation is excellent, and between Roanoke proper and the adjacent Blacksburg (Virginia Tech) and Christainsburg, there's a reasonably sized job market that spans quite a few industries. Someplace like this is our current plan for near-retirement into retirement.

Troubleshooting Obscure Source Engine Problems [2023 TF2 Summer Update] [video]

Their philosophies are quite different; Obsidian is much more text and link oriented (it's basically a front-end for markdown), whereas Notion is object-oriented and gives primacy to the kinds of objects that can contain text (blocks, tables, quotes, etc.)

Obsidian can be made to work like Notion and vice-versa, but I see Obsidian as more of a hypertext environment/wiki creator, and Notion as an integrated environment to interface with different ways of interacting with knowledge-focused objects.

I prefer Obsidian largely due to its simplicity, and the fact that it maps really well to how I think. Notion is also incredible for what it does, but it's too much for my brain, and the app is still a bit too slow for the speed with which my thoughts can escape me.

Anytype purports to be like Notion.
The browser has become like a powerplant. Huge, complicated, and relied upon all day by everyone. It isn't really practical to write a new browser from scratch or support one. They're just too enormously complicated at this point. They are literally the engines for a huge portion of all of the software run in the world.

So naturally it's going to coalesce and standardize around 1 or 2 options. And this is what has happened with Chrome and Safari.

That's not to say that no one can make a better browser or that they shouldn't try, just that its a huge undertaking against a well-entrenched technology and those are very difficult to pull off.

To answer your question about functionality, the browser today is capable of being a full desktop app. It can do anything a desktop app can do. So what you're really looking for is not a replacement browser but a web app that saves pages as HTML, etc. It actually makes more sense from a development standpoint -- and ultimately benefits users -- to have the functionality come from apps and not the browser itself.
> The first counterargument is that industrial technologies come and go.

I graduated college in 1996. I had four language classes - C, Pascal, FORTRAN, and COBOL.

Out of those four C is still heavily used.

If someone graduated college 20 years ago and they were taught Java, and they stayed on the course as a Java developer, they would still have plenty of work today. If they learned how to use SQL Server 2003, Oracle or MySQL, they would know one of the three top databases today.

> Had she followed that advice in the 60s, she points out, her students would have spent their time studying JCL

That’s kind of irrelevant.

20 years ago Microsoft was king of the desktop, Unix was big in servers and Apple was a distant second when it came to seconds. In 2023, how much has changed?

> This is false. “The only way to improve at X is to do it” is the advice you give when you actually have no idea how to improve…

This is also false. I was an active fitness instructor for 8 years and my cardio was great and also was a weightlifter. I could teach a two hour master class and go hard without giving out of breath. The first time I decided to do an outdoor 5K on a whim, it took me 40 minutes and I felt like I was going to die. I had to do run specific training.

> pay isn't as sexy and you may have to relocate to unsophisticated parts of the country

This isn’t a pitch that will attract top talent. There is work in novel energy and industrial opportunities that hold potential to create billion-dollar companies. They may require travelling to exotic domestic locales, but you’ll meet people outside the mainstream and may be able to commute in from somewhere desirable.
