I consider myself to have aphantasia (cannot visualize anything in my mind, except when dreaming) and I think I could still pass the test you mention.

If I imagine a car, I can imagine its features, and of course color being a quite salient feature I would probably assign it a color (e.g. I could imagine a red Ferrari, or a black limo). It's just that I wouldn't see it, there wouldn't be anything in my mind similar to the actual experience of seeing a red object, I would just think about the "concept" of the car being red (hard to explain).

So far I've never found a way in which aphantasia really manifests externally or can be measured externally in a more or less reliable way. Which is why I'm still not 100% sure that people who claim not to be aphantasiacs aren't just exaggerating or taking metaphors too literally...

That is shocking!
TBH we don't know yet how lunatic trance of watching 30 second videos affects the human brain in long term.
> There are only a few companies, like https://www.chairigami.com/ , that produce such furniture.

As someone moving quite a bit at the moment and looking for cheap, quick, recyclable furniture, I was excited, but Chairigami was quite disappointing.

It seems extremely expensive for what it is? I know how much cardboard costs, with markup, and this is a long way off. Their profit margin on this furniture must be vast. Not exactly the accessibility that I was expecting.

Others have mentioned the issues with this sort of construction and that all limits lifespan. Even the thin veneers that Ikea put on top of cardboard furniture will improve lifespan by multiples, and yet Ikea is typically priced significantly lower than Chairigami.

I can only conclude that Chairigami is effectively conducting a form of virtue-signalling. They're luxury goods – vast profit margins resting on design and "vibes" – rather than disruptive goods changing accessibility environmental responsibility for the masses.

> Yet, despite all the limitations of the 1990s, the guys at id Software could make 13 games in 1 year.

> In today’s post I want to explore why new indie game developers plunge themselves into much longer game development cycles. The industry has essentially stretched us to cut out one of the most important stepping stones between tiny games and multi-year projects. This has caused developers to have incorrect assumptions, wasted resources, and burnout.

If anything, productivity is much higher today. There are small shops out there shipping dozens of simple games a year, mostly in the mobile industry.

On the other hand, making and shipping a high level cross platform game is a gargantuan task. A small company can easily spend 5+ years building a game and still disappoint their fans.

If you want to know what making AAA games at an understaffed shop is like since the mid 2000s, look up Bethesda's documentary
What sort of study would you like to be done? A comparison of what the scriptures say and what the known physical evidence says wouldn’t take much study really.

A problem with investigations of physical evidence of bible stories is they are often paid for by christian organisations in the US, with the explicit goal of ‘proving the bible true’. As a result we get a lot of extremely low grade, deliberately misinterpreted amateur archaeology that’s really only designed to please the sponsors, but is obvious junk.

Any attempt to verify something from any form of scripture with modern adherents risks suffering from this problem of motivated reasoning.
AMD and Intel made for cheap off-the-shelf components, and still perform good. - They use ordinary RAM, ordinary clocked buses, ordinary power converters, etc.

So in reality Apple made very precise hit, and it is very low probability of similar thing repeat.

And objective experts say, Apple sell their solution cheaper than it cost.

If unfortunately, Apple will miss anything in modern SoC infrastructure, Apple will miss, but AMD and Intel will survive and will gather people from Apple.
but how long can that cow be milked until they realize a significant part of their economy is living on borrowed time

Oh, they know it. When I lived in Germany 5-10 years ago, this issue was regularly discussed in the media. Some companies do try to adapt. E.g. Bosch traditionally delivered a lot of diesel-related tech, but they are also investing a lot in batteries and fuel cells. E.g. a large number of eBikes in Europe (probably a large majority even) use Bosch motors and batteries.

Only time will tell if it's enough. Of course, companies will try to stretch the transition as much as possible so that they'll have time to catch up.
Yeah it requires that base skill since its just a longboard with a really good motor/battery controller.
Haha, yeah, I understand how you could have misread it like that, I'm sorry the original was not very clear!

Let me try again: then didn't ask me to clone any repos of theirs. They only asked me to show them my private repo on GitHub so they could see some significant work I had done. I just picked some random nothing file and they were satisfied. Then I saw that this private repo had been cloned after that trip. Normally you can't see clone IPs on GitHub but for my install process the npm "postinstall" script pulled something off my web server. Basically I had a line buried in one of the scripts referenced in the postinstall script:

wget --header="Authorization: Bearer $MY_ACCESS_TOKEN" https://api.myserver.com/data

The only thing that ever pulled off that URL was that private repo postinstall script. After seeing my mail session at a random IP in that country, I thought oh that's probably me, but then I was already back home and I wondered why there was still a session there, so I then checked the logs of my server saw another IP from that country pulling that URL, from the day after I was there, when I hadn't made any servers there or run that script when there.

What you say about the laptop was what I originally thought: Why do they want me to bring a laptop? Do they seriously believe I don't have a computer? Hahaha

> If they wanted to "hack" you, they didn't need to fly you out, they just needed you to clone the repo and run the script.

I agree it sounds implausible, right? It's probs nothing. Likely I'm just misreading it.

I don't want to jump the gun and I think it's prudent to keep an open mind, I certainly don't want to spread a bs rumour, nor misrepresent a country with something had not been definitively proven with facts. That would totally lack integrity, be irresponsible, and would be undermining due process and ethics. It would also just be disgusting awful betrayal of everything good, so I don't want to jump the gun or name and shame.

I was invited and travelled to many countries for these types of interviews back in the day, all over the world: Europe, USA, Asia, even one in Africa. Definitely had some weird vibes at different places, but never had the same feeling of "hacked" as above.

But just wanted to clarify the facts. Does what I said make sense? Sorry it's late here.
i used to have it on my resume, but ultimately took it off because it wasn't technically a paid gig, though they paid for my housing and food every so often. i was sponsored through an organization to teach ESL in Israel to mostly Ethiopian Israelis and Israelis. Loved the job though it did make me realize how much I hated teaching. However, I accidentally got into web design while I was there and it ended up a valuable skill later on. I ended up living in Israel for about a year.
I own Pixel 4a for a few years now (I bought it when it was quite new, now it's EOL). I never had any software or hardware problems, and it's my favourite phone I ever had.

(we can keep the anectodal evidence going, but not sure what's the value in that. People clearly have different experiences, and the selection of people reading comments about a Pixel issue is likely far from random).
OK thanks, that sounds fairly convenient for small patches. And I expect you'd say download the email for larger patches (as a sibling commenter suggests).

It's less that European democratic socialism has a growth focus, and more that the entire global financial system is built on the fundamental assumption of continuous growth.

In the presence of degrowth, what would a reasonable inflation target be for the central bank? What should the interest rate be? Should the government issue more debt? Under what circumstances should individuals or companies be eligible for incurring debt?

AFAIK, all of these questions don't have good answers so far, whether you are a capitalistic or a socialistic nation.
There are some pretty good efforts into human organs/body simulation. I remember reading about some reserach lab in Italy that is putting a lot of effort in this branch.

The problem is, biologists still dont have complete understanding of how the organs work... how can we look for simulating them?
Publish your private keys and be considered responsible for what is signed with them, simple really :)

I am not a fan of blockchains but this is a rare case where they could be used to prove that the message is authentic by publishing the hash of the message (including the signature) in it. If the DKIM private key was published after the message was added to the blockchain then the message was clearly legitimate.
> I interviewed one individual who couldn’t even get the REPL started for their project and as they were struggling trying to get it to work I heard them mumble to themself “I should have just use my work computer”. The fact they couldn’t get the most basic aspect of the project to work on their personal meant that they did their coding assignment on their work computer

I've been a candidate who "couldn't even get the most basic aspect of the project to work".

I had been working for years at a company that most developers in the world would sacrifice their firstborn to have a shot at being hired, and I've been using their work laptop for years on end. I considered switching gigs, I answered a recruiter's call, and I found myself in a technical interview using one of my own laptops. Only during the interview did it dawned upon me that my personal laptop had no development tools installed. Why? Because I never used it for work. Worse, I was used to my employer's automated process to setup software development environments, so I had no assurance that I could setup a fully working dev environments in 5 or 10 minutes, let alone the meeting's full hour. If you want to run Python as a REPL on Windows, good luck.

Thankfully my meeting ended up using a webapp to do the pair programming/coding challenge, but if I had to run code on my personal computer I would have to spend far more time setting it up than testing stuff, reschedule the meeting, or simply bail out.

Some companies allocate more than a day to get new candidates to set up a working dev environment and building a project, while assigning an experienced dev to guide them. I know that because I've onboarded half a dozen people and that's what it usually takes.

I'm reading your comment and I'm surprised you didn't noticed how your account does more to document how oblivious you and your team were to critical failures in your hiring process than in assessing the competence of a candidate. How many times per day do you need to setup a software dev environment? Is this how your company gets paid? Is that where you needed additional people to work on? No? Then why on earth are you evaluating them in a completely irrelevant domain? Don't you have people in your team who can spare some minutes documenting and automating that process?

By the way, following that interciew I was extended an offer for a senior position. If the recruiter was like you and I would have been evaluated on my ability to setup a working software dev environment in the allotted time, I'm sure I would have spent over half the meeting googling for where to download the interpreter and how to set it up.
> I really don't, but this is my belief as someone who has extensive experience with cigarette culture and has thought about it. You are free to disregard my opinion based on this fact, but I will still contend that if someone only smoked 1-4 cigarettes a day, then there's a reasonable likelihood (though less than 100%) that they wouldn't have any serious resultant health issues.

I guess there is also a chance that if someone smokes 20 a day they won't have any serious resultant health issues, but the study I showed earlier indicates that even 1-4 drastically increases your chance of complications.

> (edit - and it's my belief that emphysema/COPD is the most serious risk of chronic smoking, where basically the lungs just wear out.)

It's possible, but shouldn't you try to find actual evidence for the likelihood of emphysema being much lower with 1-4 cigarettes per day, beyond "cigarette culture" and having "thought about it"?
I'd say that in "the several", the word "the" modifies the meaning of "several" to emphasize that they are disjoint and to some degree independent, while not restricting their number.
You might be surprised how many Chinese takeout places will happily part with some steamed broccoli and brown rice for a reasonable price. Sure, it's not on the menu, and most of what is may well be covered in sugary sauces, but at least in my experience, they tend to be a pretty reasonable bunch when it comes to just selling what they have for the right price.

Though I'm in the Northeast -- your access to wildly abundant Chinese takeout may vary.
Meta also requires in their TOS that you have only one account and that it uses your “real” identity, so you’d be in violation of TOS with your work account.

In some aspects the problem is food processing. A lot of magnesium gets lost when food is processed and prepared. As a result of that magnesium insufficiency and deficiency seem to be rather prevalent.
> Your experience is quite limited. Too limited to have a meaningful opinion on this subject frankly.

I am having quite the big problem with this getting downvoted. The poster is spot on here and this needs to be communicated. Not doing so is irresponsible. Overconfidence in this regard is extremely dangerous and there is no nicer way to say this.

You can not reasonably assume that you are able to judge something works reliably without understanding how the error cases look. Especially if these are capsuled from you and or you dont know what to look out for.

This is at the very core of why something like the post scandal was possible. People repeating the same mistake in this very thread is just really bad. The only thing worse would be not telling them this.
I'm not sure that's right. Video game customers are wrong (or dishonest) about what they think they want. They want to see themselves as intellectual gourmets, only in research of exotic gameplay and rich stories but still spend the great majority of their money on blockbusters with decade old recipe and ip (while being vocal about their price or their lack of originality). No problem with that in fact, video game are leisure time activities.

Where the big producers ARE totally not listening is monetization. But here again 'globally that work' and most (not all) customers see themselves as more 'moraly right' than they really are. Everyone is happy to bash f2p immoral economic system, but are glad to enjoy free games. They will all speak about how possessing your games is important, but will take gamepass anytime because it's less costly. (here again they are just pragmatic and nothing is wring with that).

A funny thing when you discuss and do post mortems with little game development studio, is that each time they try to avoid a notoriously 'shady' practice, first critics will be about them missing (mainly gamble/casino mechanics and timesink/grinding features) ^^
Is this actually a problem in practice?

How many people have presented forged emails as real without a DKIM signature, and had the press say "nah, we're not going to report on that because DKIM is missing"?

Q: If 2FA is enabled on a Google account, does SMTP AUTH still work?

I've just tested this, I generated a new app password in my Google Account and used that to send Gmail from Python.

Works fine when sending "from: <me@gmail>" with the app password, yet I can't change the sender since the SMTP auth then fails

Espresso House (in Sweden) tends to have public access wifi, but it is extremely slow compared to 4G.

What I find more surprising is that Sweden dropped “unlimited” data plans, I’m not aware of any data plan that is unlimited now. So if you want to do some video calls then I would be looking for wifi.
"The cost of 1,000 beds for a refugee camp ranges from €100,000 to €200,000 (US$110 to $220) a bed"

What? Has nobody involved with this article ever seen a military camp? A military cot is setup in seconds, can be shipped basically instantly, will not disintegrate in contact with water, and has served millions of soldiers well for decades. Amazon can deliver one to my house for less than 100$. If you need beds for people, dont obsesse over labels. It doesnt matter whether it is sold as a bed or as a cot. What matters is having a safe place to put it.

I think you mean table spoon, which is often enough dressing for one person, in my experience.
There is substantial evidence that the people in power in the Post Office Board dismissed the evidence from the sub post masters because they were, more often than not of Asian descent (Indian, Bangladeshi, Pakistani,...). So the Post Office Board had a mental block to joining the dots because they were racist.

When they were eventually confronted with the overwhelming evidence of hundreds of false convictions they doubled down because they lack any sense of morality.

So while it is a sad technical tale it is also an indictment of British Board room culture.

The whole sorry affair has been covered by Private Eye magazine for over ten years.

Basically all sugar substitutes are laxatives in sufficient quantities. And these aren't necessarily extreme quantities either!

Magnesium can also be laxatives and that's a rather common supplement people take.

If the only goal was to make an enjoyable game I believe moving it away from actual RISC instructions and over to something even simpler and possibly more visual could be a way to go. The logic would still be the same, but the text and number based system might just be too foreign to people not used to programming. Might print it out and give it a go though, seems quite fun.

They absolutely will assume something was fake if it's embarrassing and they think it can't be proved. Most of them don't know about DKIM signatures, though.

Which of course also applies to human cognitive processes.

We’ve had millions of years of evolution to prune out problems, but in many cases the problems were papered over by a kludge that introduced other problems, which were then kludged, etc. No wonder the complex systems we build are such a mess. They’re a reflection of ourselves.
That's not really economic at present, hopefully it will be one day. There are a very small number of verified programs, no mainstream operating systems and no major application suites. We just don't have the technology for it yet.

It does not seem very practical to throw out all digital evidence (eg photos and videos) because there is some chance of misprocessing. Who even records in analog today? What corresponding standard would you demand for analog evidence? Even in analog there were film issues, processing issues, noise, smudges, tampering and uncertainty, people have been dealing with these sorts of confounders for a long time.

We don't generally require "mathematical certainty" for other types of evidence. Personally I think GP was proposing a reasonably balanced commonsense perspective.
Obvious answer to this problem is to offer more money after training. Keeping someone on junior salary after this person reached next level is not smart.
That means there needs to be science education.
