I think you’ll find that for the most part beliefs that are present across religions are pro-adaptive in the economic and technological contexts in which they arise. I also think people fail to appreciate how much their own worldview reflects the religious tradition of their community. Coming from an eastern tradition, western secular humanism seems like an “ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of” Christianity.

Open source software is viral and self-propelled by nature. Corporate technologists may be on the retreat, spending billions to build moats for themselves with proprietary locked down hardware and cloud services, but these defenses won't last long, and once breached, the blow will be fatal.

Court language essentially. Something that you spoke when talking to royalty, or nobility. Granted, you could speak in a different language, but it would make things more complicated, since, as today, many people are not multilingual.

Church mostly worked in latin, as elsewhere in Europe. But sermons used whatever language locals understood.

So in many ways it was somewhat like current US situation. Just with much less effort on accommodating other languages.

> no participant was given a negative event to imagine

I feel that's taken a little out of context. There were two trials:

> For No-imagine trials, participants were given one of their cue words, asked to first acknowledge the event in their mind. Then, while continuing to stare directly at the reminder cue, they were asked to stop thinking about the event – they should not try to imagine the event itself or use diversionary thoughts to distract themselves, but rather should try to block any images or thoughts that the reminder might evoke. For this part of the trial, one group of participants was given their negative events to suppress and the other given their neutral ones.

Emphasis added. And the trial you refer to:

> For Imagine trials, participants were given a cue word and asked to imagine the event as vividly as possible, thinking what it would be like and imagining how they would feel at the event. For ethical reasons, no participant was given a negative event to imagine, but only positive or neutral ones.

How ironic that now English is the global lingua franca.
If India is guilty, it knows that it is guilty. If India is innocent, it knows that it is innocent.

In either case, India wouldn't need evidence from anybody else to determine its own innocence or guilt, because surely it knows whether it did what it is being accused of doing.

Have you ever been to a good psych? Like in other professions, maybe 80% of clinical psychiatrists are low key bad at their job. And I’m sorry for you if you feel like you were bullied by a bad psych. I think thats probably way more common than we’d want to admit.

I promise you, good sessions just aren’t like that. My psych is amazing. We don’t talk about how “society has to change” because the pain I’ve experienced isn’t really about society any more. And the point of sessions isn’t to fix society, it’s to help me (the patient) heal and grow. I’ve never felt bullied by her - not for a second.

I’m sorry if you haven’t had a good therapist. As I say, maybe 80% of psychs are flushable. But some people are genuinely amazing and can help a great deal. They’ve certainly helped me.
Yes, I agree with you. I just remember some countries were not targeted by Russian hackers, think like some agreement.

> Pretty sure it's a fairly significant issue inside Punjab. Or is your implication that the rest of Hindu India doesn't consider their opinion important?

Do you have evidence to support that?

Khalistan has been a non-issue in Punjab since the late 80s or so. There is no militancy nor is this an issue during elections or in the manifesto of any political party. Akali Dal, which is kinda Sikh religious party is not in government for last 2-3 elections and before that I believe it was in coalition with BJP, the so called Hindu-nationalist party, which is currently in power in center. Current and previous state governments are from centrist national parties.

Whether or not it is discussed in hushed tones or not is something obviously I don’t know.

Can it flare up again? Sure it can, and that is the hope of the Khalistanis in Canada and fear of people in India, which is why the sensitivity.

May be a hyperbole, but when is comes to Khalistanis, Canada is playing with fire shattering these terrorists, many of whom have links with Punjabi organized crime and it is going to bite them hard.

Sikh Gurudwaras have banners calling for assassination of Indian diplomats. I don’t know of any other civilized nation that would allow that to happen.

> It's something like 30% of our words.

Not by any metric you'd care about. (And almost certainly not by any metric at all.)

Your comment contains 49 words. 4 come from Norse, 2 come from Latin (without passing through French), and 3 come from French. The remaining 40 come from Old English.

That's the count by token. By lemma, I counted 9 duplicate words, of which two are Norse and 7 are English. That brings French all the way up to 7.5%!
The cutoff is the same date that the courts switched to using English.

This is pretty accurate. American Democrats don't like hearing this though.
Sure, but what makes it "official" while English is not the official language of the US?
You make a valid point: I used the word "bug" here without trying first to define it, and that led to confusion in my mind, and thus in my comment.

In that comment, I used the example of programs performing an ascending sort or a descending one. While both programs would be valid, one of them, at least, would not correspond to the intent of the programmer. From an engineering perspective, that would be considered a bug.

I guess an informal yet hopefully apt definition of the word bug could be "an error in the source code of a program leading to an incorrect behaviour of that program at runtime". That incorrect behaviour can take many forms: the most obvious one is the program breaking in the middle of a computation, without providing any result (a semantic bug). A second one is when the compiler will not accept the program as valid (a syntactic bug). A third one is the program producing the wrong result, as in my example (also a semantic bug).

In my mind, I only considered the first 2 kinds of errors as bugs, and qualified the last as something else, perhaps for the reason that only the programmer may really know the intent behind a program's implementation.

One of the goals when designing a programming language is to help reduce the occurrence of bugs. The main strategy is to turn bugs of the first kind (semantic) into bugs of the second kind (syntactic), or at least that is my understanding.

Concretely, with a powerful enough type system, one may express expected properties of a program using the provided syntax, and let the compiler validate these claims using only formal rules.

> when there's an economic downturn and the government bails them out

It's more that the government subsidizes their lack of resiliency in a back-handed way. This might not be so bad because markets are usually short-sighted and fail at this, so the only way for it to exist in a market system is for the government to pay for it. This is what the Farm Bill does. It subsidizes food production because people starve when markets are too efficient.

Man, I know why it's a thorny topic but sometimes I really wish we had a single identity system in the states, just one card that had all your licenses on it, driving/boating/hunting/ccw, and one API to pull all that info. Our county is too cheap/lazy to reissue pistol/sar permits if you buy, sell, or transfer a restricted weapon, instead opts to give you a piece of printer paper to go with it. You have to have that paper addendum with you whenever you're handling a restricted weapon, and you're fucked if anything happens to it, and you get caught.
Per minute is a terrible pricing strategy. It invokes nervousness just by hearing about it. The founders are probably newbies in business. Your minimum pricing unit should be 30 min or more.

Some of the English kings of the period also spent a lot of time in what is France now.

They had large possessions there, from Normandy to Aquitaine and spent time there and on military campaigns.

For instance, Richard I (Sean Connery in Robin Hood with Kevin Costner...) spent most of his life in Aquitaine and probably spoke Occitan as well as French (but not English...).
Well, maybe I'm wrong about that. It's a standard build of Home, with an hour or two invested in config maybe a decade ago when I installed it (back when it was 7, or something, before 10 existed). I spent a little time on Wireshark seeing what it was doing, but not much time, and that was a long time ago. So maybe I'm wrong. :thinking:
I suppose it wouldn't be that surprising. Mindfulness for instance teaches you to "let go" of thoughts - which is really just a gentle form of suppression. CBT encourages you to redirect existing negative thoughts in a positive/constructive direction - ultimately steering you away from or undermining the original negative thought - but does not encourage you to do a deep dive on it. Not to mention that Freud was a quack who was more prone to speculation than to science, so if traditional psychotherapy is based on his work then it is likely built on sand.

Taken to the opposite extreme, I think it's in some sense obvious that some degree of suppression is actually good for you, precisely because ruminating for long periods of time is clearly bad for you.

From a neurological point of view, why should we see reiterating negative thoughts as any different from reinforcement learning? If we revisit these negative topics, are we not strengthening their presence in our minds?

That said this study does not sound like it proves that suppressing negative thoughts works over a long period of time. The original theory posits that these suppressed thoughts might cause problems even years later when the latest this was followed up was a period of three months. So grains of salt etc.

I don't get why the pricing is based on contacts. Why not charge based on emails sent? This is probably where most of your expenses are, instead of charging on storing contacts in the DB and querying them.

That's why Sendy is a good option for me.
Tracks with my extensive experience of scantron in the DC public school system.

The scantron forms that were in use while I was in high school had a sort of meta-data section, where students would put their name, the date, etc. One of those boxes was labeled 'key'. I always assumed it performed that function, but I never tried it to see.

Maybe the intention was to make it easier for teachers to identify a student maliciousmy marking it?

It can't simply be "court language". Peter III of Russia could barely speak Russian, but that didn't make German the official language of Russia during his rule. I'm certain if I dug further I could find more such cases.

If the US had a king, and thus a court, would that automatically make English the official language of the US?

No, because https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_official_languages_by_... say Japan has no official language (de facto Japanese) and they do have royalty, so it doesn't appear that simple.

My assumption is that 'official' requires some formal decree, but I saw no mention of that in the article.
There was this great YouTube video on Ace Combat Series. How they optimised for the feel instead of being a realistic fighter.

The feel of being a badass pilot, the hero that saves the day, to feel cool whilst flying and dogfighting.

I do wonder what some software would look like if they optimised for some feel angle. Better or worse? Would it even be feasible given the global nature of software usage and the requirement of targeting the lowest common denominator.
