What did you do during your sabbatical? When I did something similar, I listed it on my CV as a sabbatical and also listed the skills I gained/improved on that would be of value to the potential employer. It didn't seem to hurt me at all.
Interesting! I like that thought. I enjoy thinking about how surprisingly good we are at predicting trajectories, good enough that we can throw, catch, and dodge small objects with remarkable accuracy. I wonder if our internal calculations of acceleration due to gravity is purely learned, or future space-faring infants will be surprised by how their block castles react when they knock them over.
One of the most popular applications for these controllers, at least in the circles I run in, is doing flashcard reviews in Anki. It's super convenient if you have a controller since you can do the reviews while on the go, while huddled under the covers, while relaxing on the couch and so on. You can search `"8bitdo" site:reddit.com/r/medicalschoolanki` or `"8bitdo" site:reddit.com/r/anki` and you'll get a bunch of results from people configuring these for flashcard reviews.

From what I see in the comments here it looks like some people also use them to play video games!
Menlo park was also made of Edison concrete. https://www.menloparkmuseum.org it looks like it's in great condition, so is a certain road on the east coast. Forgot the Edison concrete contracts, but the old stadium was also made of Edison concrete. I always wondered about it's makeup, it's an excellent concrete.
> the reason the textbooks are written like that is because that's what was helpful to the authors when they were learning

The author writing a book after 30 years of learning, thinking, talking with other people cannot easily reconstruct what was helpful and what wasn't. Creating 1-dimensional representation of the state of mind (which constitues "understanding") is a virtually impossible task. And here algebraic formalism comes to the rescue. "Definition" - "Theorem" - "Corollary" structure looks like a silver bullet, it fits very well in a linear format of a book. Unfortunately, this format is totally inadequate when it comes to passing knowledge. Very often, you can't understand A before you understand B, and you can't understand B before understanding A - the concepts in math are very often "entangled" (again, I'm talking about understanding, not formal consistency). You need examples, motivations, questions and answers - the whole arsenal of pedagogical tricks.

Some other form of presentation must be found to make it easier to encode the knowledge. Not sure what this form might be. Maybe some annotated book format will do, not sure. It should be a result of a collective effort IMO. Please think about it.

BTW, this is not a criticism of LADR book in particular. The proofs are concise and beautiful. But... the compression is very lossy in terms of representing knowledge.

Anyway, I agree with you. Tech was great when folks were reverse engineering hardware to make cheaper / better copies that worked with existing software. Does it suck for the company that put all the r&d into it? Yeah. Did they make a fat load of profit off it already? Usually.

Shortly after the lowest average temp in the last 10k years the temp goes up a tiny bit and that is bad?

Maybe it is bad, who knows, but it sure seems better than if the interglacial would have ended and the temp would drop 10°C in the next few hundred years then another 10°C in thousand years and then a 90k year long ice age or something.
You may or may not remember the warnings about the coming ice age.

Overall the chance that human caused CO2 will case some kind of mass extinction due to warming is about as high as that a random ice age that should have started already but didn't (and we dont know why), causes a mass extinction.
Something indeed is mysterious. Previously, I could generate a virtual CreditCard on the fly for random* online purchases but today while checking for some things, I can suddenly no longer generate any new ones anymore.

Also, here in EU they were happily paying interest on current balance due to recent interest rate hike, but suddenly a while back this interest generation has to be claimed by moving money from current to "Jar" thing and accept some terms, which is a bit dramatic IMO.

> They probably started dating in high school or their first year of university and had no or few previous partners.

> The curious question is, if the man isn’t doing what you’re supposed to be doing to find a partner, like mingling with more people, how did they end up with their current (and only) partner in the first place? They had to do at least some socializing to get a date.

The answer to the question is right there: in high school and college, you're effectively forced to socialize to at least some degree; you're a captive in the education system, and unless you suffer from tremendous anxiety or are wildly unpleasant to be around, you'll spend a large percentage of your time socializing with other people.

(There's also the other obvious answer: a lot of introverts socialize a lot online, and many of them meet their partners the same way. I'm sure at least some of you have been to a wedding where the married couple met over WoW.)

I'm also fine with the salary decrease but at least with USDS they have you work a "tour" (like a tour of duty, I guess) which lasts between 3 months and 4 years. First, that's a little ambiguous; who decides the duration of the tour? It also feels like it would be off-putting to get to the end of your fourth year and it's your best-performing year so far, but you're just Logan's Run'ed out of there. Even more so because neither Congress nor the Supreme Court, nor the overwhelming majority of state Congresses, have term limits.

He was, essentially, trolling. What he really wanted was to be on the board, not own the company. The offer he made was meant as a jab at Twitter. I am pretty sure that he never thought he'd have to follow through with it. If he did, then he wouldn't have made such a ridiculously overpriced offer.
Yeah, that fits with what I remember. I read the parent comment talking about unreliability being about the kernel driver rather than the userspace one, so I wanted to verify if the response about ntfs-3g was even talking about the same thing or not.
Are you saying the hardware actually has encode on die but was "fused" off?

If so, Raspberry Pi has an organizational culture of outright lying, as opposed to simply speaking plainly. I know this is not Eben Upton speaking, but I've found him many times in the past being either evasive with the truth, or simply lying. It's one thing to not step of the toes of partners, or to not Osborne a product by suggesting a successor is nearing, but to be outright dishonest. Yuck.

This is very, very disappointing.

I find this article interesting because I've often had a different view on authority and social norms than my peers growing up. I think there's a lot to be gained by identifying what qualities in a leader and society are actually pragmatic. However, I really dislike how it leans into autism vs neurotypical. It sounds like an "us vs them" assessment where "us" is smarter than "them", which is hard to ignore and represented in many of the comments here.

Although there are many things I continue to push back on, I've begun to appreciate the value of some norms as I get older. I don't think my acceptance of any of things in isolation is a good indication of how smart I was at any given moment in time.

I serve about 60TB/mo from my house (100K+ YouTube videos equivalent) and pay $100/mo for internet. So $0.001 per video would cover my ISP costs (not including server and storage infra).

My biggest issue with running a service like this would be the possibility that I'm all of a sudden serving CP from my house because the distributed model doesn't have a good moderation scheme.

Moderation tends to be the bottleneck with distributed services right now. The infrastructure is there.

> Why not just admit that your argument is purely ideological?

Of course it is! And so is yours.

If not from ideology, where come you by the idea that "we pursue these curiosities because it is what humanity was made for?" That statement has zero factual content and can be meaningfully parsed only as a statement of belief. How do you mean me to imagine it as not ideological in origin?

I would, though, prefer it if we could stay on the same page with regard to what we're discussing. At no point for example have I said I have a problem with placing satellites in Earth orbit, and not by accident have I been specific in phrases like "putting humans in space". Robots in space, serving our ends, are cheap, easy, durable, and worth the trouble. Meat in space, at vastly greater expense and fragile complexity, is not.

Certainly we can do more than one thing at once, too. But every thing we do has an opportunity cost. My point is simply that the opportunity cost of putting humans in space has yet to be justified by any result - very notably including any output of the Space Shuttle program, where my opinion largely tracks Cegłowski's wellknown 2005 review [1], albeit perhaps with a touch more charity - and with no realistic prospect of that changing, I see no compelling reason to throw any more good money after such a vast sea of bad.

> A lack of executive control limits our ability to comply with demands, including the demands of authority. The demands of authority generally include following the dictates of authority

I'd say this framing is upside down. Lots of people can "demand" lots of things. The only thing that gives the demands of "authorities" any import is their possible consequences - they're only privileged pragmatically. Furthermore I wouldn't say that a brain that grants priority to someone else barking orders has "executive control" - in fact I'd say it lacks executive control, likely due to sustained abuse of being forced to act (comply) first and think later.

I would say what makes "seem to accept authority happily" ring true is not the fact that most people straightforwardly comply. Rather it's that when someone does not comply, most people line up in support of the authority even when the authority is clearly wrong. This points to a dynamic of not merely pragmatically following authorities, but rather seemingly being in support of authorities for authority's sake.

As much as I like John Stewart and John Oliver I have to admit both shows tend to leave me feeling a bit helpless in the end despite the comedy. I have stopped watching them. So yes it makes me feel kind of weird.

The fact is no matter how much I know about child labor (put you impending disaster here) involved in chocolate, soccer balls, shoes etc there is very little I can do about it besides not buy that stuff. Yes I do want to know about it but it does not have to be part of my entertainment diet. Keeping my own child from getting into that situation is the best I can hope for and I worry about being able to do that sometimes.

Not every way.

Discord fills that role in a much more accessible way than posting on a forum or googling a stack overflow answer.

>but still have a noticeable German accent

my German accent only got less notable after speaking a ton of English living in English speaking countries for several years. For some reason losing the accent was way harder than getting rid of an accent in French.

Especially words like 'strength'. If German is your first language there is something about 'r' and 'th' sounds that's so hard to get right.
Yes. Some people get personally attached to code. It’s incredibly frustrating. Some people use reviews to push dogmatic approaches to architecture and/or exert some kind of control over things. Whenever I meet these people in a code review, and they make unnecessary suggestions or whatever, my favorite phrase to say is, “I can get behind that, but I don’t think it’s worth the time to do that right now,” or, “I disagree, can you give an argument grounded in computer science.” With the latter only being used twice in my career, when someone left a shitload of comments suggesting variable name changes, and then again, when someone suggested rewriting something that was O(n) to O(n^2) and claimed it was better and wouldn’t give up.

You want to get the team to a point where you can disagree and commit, no code will ever be perfect and there is no reason spending 3-4 rounds of change requests trying. I think the worst code review I ever had, ended with me saying, “if you’re going to be this nitpicky, why don’t you take the ticket?” (It was extremely complex and hard to read — and there wasn’t any getting around it, lots of math, bit shifting, and other shenanigans. The reviewer kept making suggestions that would result in bugs, and then make more suggestions…)

He came back the next day and approved my PR once he understood the problem I was trying to solve.

Even these days, where I work on a close team IRL, I’ve been known to say, “if there are no objections, I’m merging this unreviewed code.” And then I usually get a thumbs up from the team, or they say something like “oh, I wanted to take a look at that. Give me a few mins I got sidetracked!” And I’ve even heard, “I already reviewed it, I just forgot to push approve!”

Communication is key in a team. Often, if the team is taking a long time to review, give them the benefit of the doubt, but don’t let yourself get blocked by a review.

> And yet, the clinical standard has been to use the "with" terminology for a long time now. For exactly the general reason that you present, just with your grammatical paradigm inverted.

If that's the clinical standard, why didn't the cited paper use it that way? From the research paper:

> autistic individuals

> autistic employees

> autistic participants

The peer reviewed research paper uses this standard. Only using "with" in reference to diagnoses.

It is "Science Daily", a news site, who skirts the standard by changing the paper's wording.
