Why does it matter if it’s absolute result vs percentile result?

In the former, you’re asked to predict your score.

In the latter, you’re asked to predict your place among others.

Yes, the latter more difficult to do accurately, but if people were really able to evaluate themselves, they would be able to understand they’re, on average, below or above the median. The results of DK show that most people think they _are_ the median (we all think people are like us). This means, as a result, less capable people overestimate their abilities and more capable people underestimate their abilities. It tracks.

The Psychology of Human Misjudgement by Charlie Munger [pdf]
What is lost from a dead young adult is all the investment into the person, basically 30 years worth of life experience and work gone. A dead baby is a 9 month ordeal + however long the mother will grief and the community would. However, for the young adult, it would be everyone he had a connection with and the community that would grief. So even here, the calculus doesn't make sense.

I might sound crude, but in the modern era, this is the only way to be effective. Otherwise, we would easily be swayed by the news of a white girl stuck in a well while we can easily swipe away news about hundreds of dead people from war torn zones.
Sorry half personal experience and other half from nutrition business journal. Final tip, be careful with bagged salad mix especially at restaurants. Redleaf lettuce is high in nutrients but yeasts love that. Next time you're near that stuff look closely at any breaks in the leaves, if you see dark especially black avoid. The dietary suggestions from my earlier comment helped me recover from painful hives from boarder line lupus. Totally recovered and still eat white bread sometimes, but more spelt bread, rice and pasta.
I think the title is poorly phrased and should be something along the lines of “38% of Europeans Feel They are Unable to Meet Their Calorific Requirements Due to Finances” to remove the debate as to whether or not we need 3 meals a day.

The reality is there is no hard and fast rule as to how many meals one should eat as we all have different lives and biological factors playing a role here.

The headline is that people feel they are not getting the sustenance they require because they simply cannot afford to, which is terribly sad.

How often are you working in Eclipse AND Visual Studio on the same project? If
you're working in an IDE, it's pretty useful to have the standard keybindings.

You may have standard vim bindings mostly to manipulate text.

But there are bindings in other IDEs to find next definition/declaration of the function under the cursor, debugging, refactoring, and so on. Within the same IDE, you will find most people don't customize those. At least, in my experience, anyways.
Similar story and I use journaling as a form of CBT therapy often.

I also went on an SSRI a few years ago which I swore off for a decade+. It’s been huge for me, something I wish I had been more open-minded about a lot early. Even with therapy and tons of exposure therapy, I still had crippling social anxiety. With medication, I feel… normal.

They were just less sheltered. I mean many people in countries across the world live in worse conditions.

To be honest most people in America have become so comfortable that they just look for problems to make there lives seem harder than they really are now days.

I would be willing to bet people were also happier back then too.
My understanding, which I can’t prove other than to say it comes from folks affiliated with OpenAI, is that chatgpt doesn’t make money but also doesn’t lose money (in aggregate, some accounts use way more than others but many accounts are fairly idle), and their API business is profitable and accounts for most of their GPU utilization. I have no insight into why they would turn off signups for chatgpt other than they may need the capacity for their enterprise customers, where they make a decent margin.

Profession induced trauma is finally getting taken seriously in the medical setting, another high stakes field.

Group therapy for doctors and nurses is finally becoming a thing, but unfortunately it is completely dependent on being employed by an organization that cares about it.
Most of what you mentioned is research & development, not building. I don't know why you say we're killing it at EVs, when there's many competitors, and Tesla churned out dreck for years until it finally produced a decent car without defects, and had to be floated constantly on US government subsidies. SpaceX is the only thing that seems to work reliably, probably due to sheer will from passionate engineers and a ton of QA (and a whole lot of NASA experience).

Anyone can come up with a new sandwich, given enough time and money. Not everyone can churn out 1 million sandwiches, quickly, perfectly, every time. That's what building is about.

Actually its not. Believe it or not, I just wrote that entire thing.

Now granted, I've been writing that argument a lot in a lot of places, hoping SOMEONE would have a better idea. I've gotten zero response everywhere.

I've also probably ingest a bit too much Zeihan or War Nerd, but honestly those are the sources that give the most honest geopolitical takes on the hard issues.

Such a belief would be heretical and very much outside the bounds of any canonical Christianity.

(The phrase you're looking for is "divinely inspired", but Christianity also teaches that all of world history is also divinely inspired. It's a very broad category.)
What are you trying to protect yourself against and what services you are into?

You can always use European providers with your real data if needed. I generally learned to avoid US-centric companies if I can. While those huge ones that have large business in EU are usually fine (and here your trick may actually work).

Smaller companies or those focused on US usually didn't cared about my data at all and sold it to anyone that was around.

Examples:

Kickstarter - they passed my data with email to many companies. Those companies had zero respect to it and resold it further. Same goes to services around it - I get emails from backerkit ... 8 years after last using Kickstarter, asking me to buy crap they don't even ship to my country. You can unsubscribe all you want, this never works.

PayPal - it's been 5 years since I deleted my account with that weird procedure. I have no access to it and no ability to restore that but still get all communication, they claim I regularly accept new terms and so on. And as apparently I did delete the account but data is not gone... someone else is using his account with my email attached. So I can't fix that (can't reset his pass also) but still get his emails as well.

The last point is actually very popular: companies do not validate emails and numbers at all. I have a nice looking Gmail address and get SHITLOAD of other people's mail. Banks, Insurance, healthcare, Apple (I closed a few user accounts but you can open a ticket with support on a different email they also don't check), PayPal, Instagram, scam sex portals and many more.

I've managed to reset passwords in a lot of them and either close accounts or change email but the problem persists.

My point is: EU companies do dumb things as well but my overall experience is much better and they do try to comply with GDPR. Fines are absolutely brutal and based on global income of the whole group under same umbrella.

Fun fact: at work we started to ignore US IT companies as it takes several calls with multiple people and a few weeks to get the first quote - we don't have manpower to deal with that.

It does. But in 2008 there was some buffer (GDP/Debt ratio) and the amount was smaller and the interest rates went down. Now the GDP/Debt ratio is dangerous, the amounts are higher and the interest rates are up and so servicing the debt is more expensive. It's a funny mix.
I'll add my story here for posterity:

My first job out of university, I was working for a content marketing startup who's tech stack involved PHP and PerconaDB (MySQL). I was relatively inexperienced with PHP but had the false confidence of a new grad (didn't get a job for 6 months after graduating - so I was desperate to impress).

I was tasked with updating some feature flags that would turn on a new feature for all clients, except for those that explicitly wanted it off. These flags were stored in the database as integers (specifically values 4 and 5) in an array (as a string).

I decided to use the PHP function (array_reverse)[https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-reverse.php] to achieve the necessary goal. However, what I didn't know (and didn't read up on the documentation) is that, without the 2nd argument, it only reversed the values not the keys. This corrupted the database with the exact opposite of what was needed (somehow this went through QA just fine).

I found out about this hours later (used to commute ~3 hrs each way) and by that time, the senior leadership was involved (small startup). It was an easy fix - just a reverse script - but it highlighted many issues (QA, DB Backups not working etc.)

I distinctly remember (and appreciate) that the lead architect came up to me the next day and told me that it was rite of passage of working with PHP - a mistake that he too had made early in his career.

I ended up being fired (grew as an engineer and was better off for it) but in that moment and weeks after it, it definitely demoralized me.
Interesting read, I try to give a lot of thought to naming things but still can’t get it right first time. Often I need the courage to refactor, which also involves changes to a lot of documentation. Also, retaining backwards compatibility is tough when renaming things so proper names can’t always be used
Better question: why were they allowed to acquire Auth0?

It's outsourcing risk. Auth is hard, we all know it (yes, it is hard), and it's cheaper to outsource to a company who has it as their core competency, than hire internal experts.
Stock 41% up in the last 12 months is not appropriate.. it basically signals, "buy at a huge discount after each incident, we'll keep it rising regardless".

I'd say it's the opposite. They want to sustain the economy and avoid a crash. Though I don't think it's about elections but maintaining the current power structures and the current status quo.
Having built similar software, at a smaller scale, I think you're massively overestimating the complexity of shopify.

At it's core, what they provide is (largely) read only set of products, and a (largely) append only set of purchases.

The only write operation that needs to lock the database is when you adjust the quantity of available inventory. You need to pay attention and think things through to do that with good performance, but it's not that complex. and they wouldn't be doing millions of sales per second.
And loud.
Man you're doing it wrong. You're like that guy in the old MAD Magazine cartoon who wants to look at the mountains with a binocular but happens to see his wife's face in ultra-macro and goes "eew mountains are gross".

It's not like typographers can't see that these orderly lines that you crave are 'overshot' by the glyphs, they sure do! And it's not necessarily an effect that works at constant ratio for every magnification either; the overshoot in a font intended for footnotes is probably different from the overshoot in a font designed to be displayed a meter high on the sides of a van.

In your other comment you say it's a 'holdover' from metal type. "Holdover" is such a dog whistle word you know, it always comes from people who want to do away with accumulated wisdom, who claim that "we can do this better now" (i.e. now that we have digitized every aspect of life); they more often than not are not willing and not prepared to recognize Chesterton's fence, they just want to rid the world of any kind of perceived messiness. All lines must be straight.

Other than that, there certainly are details in type design that are there solely to accommodate for hot metal typesetting, but overshoot as such is not. And your super-macro-closeups aren't proof of anything, they just demonstrate that overshoots are big enough to be clearly seen when enlarged. Type designers have been aware of this fact for centuries. Also, as for the https://live.staticflickr.com/5300/5482446696_1fa1ff2b45_b.j... one, where you write "Hideous. Try to follow that baseline with your eye. It's a roller coaster of chaos." that's just you disliking a type design that is somewhat playful.

You prolly dislike cursive handwriting for all the same reasons. You do you, but BRRRR.

If you're genuinely curious, I'd highly recommend the book "The Road to Wigan Pier" to get an understanding of working class life was like in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
As soon as your middle-class farmer children finish high school they will be 1 of 3 (descending, from most likely to least):

- Leaving for the big city/college

- Staying in your small town, but slowly becoming helpless as they fall into bad crowds, bad habits, or both

- Staying in your small town, but successfully continuing the way of life

It is unsustainable in its current form, unless you inoculate your children against modern ideas and technology (like the Amish) or make it more desirable for people to stay. I will point to European villages as a counter example. And then I will point to: lack of cultural homogeneity, the tenuous nature of living in the United States without a stable and growing source of income, and a lack of spiritually-enriching outlets as reasons why people move out of small U.S. towns towards cities.

The first leads to unstable communities. The second leads to subconscious unease and anxiety. The last leads to a restlessness which to leads to various mental ailments like consumerism, that can only be fulfilled by staying on the hedonic treadmill.

I posit that it is not cities that have all the opportunities, but that it is small communities that lack them.
Forwarding itself is trivial, just ~5 lines in __getattr__. The difficulty comes when you need to type check the thing. Fixing that would require some special treatment on the type system side and not really doable with a third party library.

Fakend – Product demos without back end

Everyone wants to go PLG it may be b2b , b2c or others, everyone wants to give the user the full experience before buying the product, and that's fueling the user to buy or subscribe to the product. But building is not an easy tasks, it involves a lot of complexity for the development team. that's where the fakend comes, just create a mock API, the same as the backend real API. and start integrating and use it. All the functions that is provided by the backend such as search, paginate, authorize, and more also be provided by fakend. No need to pre-populate data in Database and migrate it , maintain separate DB for Demo Datas.
Within the context of Matthew 19, it is clear that the goal was to provide an impossible example. The whole conversation doesn't make sense otherwise.

Furthermore, the image of a camel trying to get through the eye of a needle is extremely memorable, which was very important for transmission in the oral culture of the time. Notice that this expression is still used regularly in many languages.

Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come follow me.”

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”

When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

As an auth backend to an app, perhaps, but the web login forms for Cognito had terrible UX (when we were using it). So terrible that we had daily customer-reported support tickets that we had no ability to fix (short of writing our own full UI).

Also, sharding user records into Cognito pools was a bit frustrating. Hopefully AWS has invested in fixing these issues.

Or, megacorps collect on debts that they can lend at a premium, or invest in capital, or pay dividends. Investing in capital increases production or market suitability, leading to greater and more innovative capacity.

The economy is a dynamic beast: mass multivariate recursion, in dynamic causal networks, or some such hell. We must trust and improve models in order to design public policy, always being aware that when multiple stakeholders disagree, who gets the nod? Who wins in the economy.
Their economic policies are literally exactly the same, no exceptions.
