I've been using fzf ctrl+r for a while now, but i'll give ethis a try. Also didn't realize homebrew for linux exists!
I suspect it's org politics - but yes, in search of money and metrics.

Assistant alienated a lot of other departments from 2016-2020 with their rapid rise and rapid growth in headcount (and ability to push integrations through whether they were a good idea or not). Then they failed to make significant money, right into an economic environment where making money was prioritized much more highly than speculative researchey new markets. These changes are them trying to make themselves indispensable to other PA's metrics, so that when budgets are set, they can argue "You can't cut Assistant, look at the drop in searches & YouTube views that would result in." Same reason why they were hit harder in the layoffs than other more profitable products.
> 2. Text editing in the terminal works different than literally anywhere else. You can't simply click and mark text, shortcuts are different, etc.

One of the interesting things Plan 9 did differently is that its terminal is rather more like a standard graphical text editor that happens to have the ability to execute a line. As someone used to unix terminals this was super jarring, but I can see where it would be nice.
Both. :)
When I read up recently on the KC-46 bidding, I found a quote from an Airbus exec at the time saying Airbus won't bid in the second round, because Boeing's offer was too aggressive. I guess being burned once, with the A400M, was a lesson Airbus didn't forget.
> - The emphasis on accepting what life has given you because that’s what logos/tao/gods have willed is a lot more palatable if you’re an emperor than his slaves. It’s great to accept what you can’t change. It’s not so great to accept the bad things you could change if someone hadn’t convinced you it was the way things were meant to be.

Funnily enough, the founder of stoicism was a slave.

> - I couldn’t go along with the how-tos on not enjoying yourself. “Here’s how you deaden yourself to music: …” Uh, no thanks.

Which is what actually makes it very unlike taoism.
The Post Office also paid independent people to figure out where the problem is, and the answer was "Horizon is garbage, you can't rely on it". So, they fired those people.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-67921974

This a pattern we've seen before

1. "We aren't wrong, you are too involved to make an impartial decision. We need somebody independent to investigate"

2. "The independent investigation has finished, but we need to properly digest their report, so we can't tell you what they said yet"

3. "We've now realised the independent investigation was inadequate, everybody who worked on it was incompetent and its findings are useless so we've destroyed the report. We declare ourselves exonerated, we were right all along".

People tend to have this mistaken understanding of morality which assumes they're a good person and so therefore obviously what they did must be good (since they're a good person) and so they might need to uh, fix differences between the world as they've imagined it and the slightly less rosy reality.

For example sure, you know that stabbing Sarah in the throat resulted in Sarah becoming dead, but you had to do that, because you're a good person and Sarah was going to tell the Police that you'd stolen $18.5M from the business. You didn't steal that money! Sure, yes, you took the money and maybe you technically shouldn't have done that, but you had a 100% sure strategy for playing Blackjack and recovering the $800 000 you lost last month, except that you got a bit confused and lost all of the $18.5M, but that's not theft, that's just a minor mistake you will be able to soon fix, if only Sarah doesn't tell these lies about stealing and get you arrested. So you had to, it wasn't murder, it was really self defence. You're a Good Person!
Yes, if you have an email listed on your GitHub profile they will spam it.
I don't even get what the conflict is between Bayesian and Frequentist statistics. Too me it seems like Bayesian statistics is useful for some set of use cases, and frequentist statistics for another set.

Frequentist hypothesis testing falls somewhere in the middle, and as long as it's not over-interpreted is fine as it is, with the advantage being it's easy to do. Though the downside is that it's not easy to interpret.

The downside of Bayesian statistics, in my experience, is that it's really hard to teach it to less-than-very-bright people, even in the academy. I mean, those who don't even understand what "falsifying a null-hypothesis" means (and doesn't mean) will have a very hard time doing Bayesian analysis properly.

In a more advanced setting, though, Bayesian approaches provide a much better tool for comparing a set of alternative hypotheses. But it requires that users understand the math, and are not just following some script, and also that those involved are willing to provide their priors before evaluating the data.
My issue here is that Imbens and Gelman are respected because they are good statisticians but also clear thinkers who have proved themselves dedicated to doing good, careful work. If you have major issues with work their name is on, I would think their reputation would at least lead reasonable people to contact them first before writing something which leads to hurt feelings and numerous comments and corrections and more posts on each end.

This whole affair is a case in point. Several authors ended up responding with very reasonable responses, which the author then acknowledged. Then he writes another post, which is more measured and insightful.

The original post would have in fact been a far better one if the author had first sought those responses and just addressed them all together at once. His points about metascience would not then be dragged down by back and forth in the comments that clearly got personal.
There are a couple of approaches to life I have used at various times:

1. Have fun. Limit productive activities to 2 hrs a day.

2. Go all out on a new idea. Succeed or fail.

If there is no risk of failure, you are really in mode 1. 2 is only possibly for short bursts, upto 1-2 weeks. if you feel burnt out, it’s time for zone 1 for sure.
> and committing to do better. Nicely done, @eastdakota

It's only nicely done if they follow through. Tweets are cheap, action is work.
> You said you have aphantasia, then you listed a number of ways in which you can mentally process images, so I couldn't really understand what you were missing. Then I went and did the aphantasia test, and apparently I have hypophantasia, so I guess that explains it.

This is similar to how I found out - I assumed what I experienced was what people meant when they talked about visualizing things, and it took a long time before I realised that a lot of them meant it very literally when they said they could "see" things.

> I wonder if there's a link between engineering skills and aphantasia, given the prevalence of the "programmer art" meme?

Ed Catmull, ex-president of Pixar, has aphantasia, and he found that artists at Pixar where not all that more likely to be able to visualize well [1], so the "programmer art" bit is far more likely to be down to practice and interest (on average, at least). I think it's more likely that the better you are in a field, the less time you're likely to have to devote to getting good in another field. Of course there are always exceptions.

But his sample was hardly representative, and so it's hard to tell whether it makes a difference. Maybe it does, and people who work at Pixar, including non-art staff are just more likely to be sufficiently interested in art to overcome extra difficulties.

That said, for my part I was decent at art when I was younger, but my drawing style was different when "imagining" things than when drawing something I had in front of me. But I also suspect I'd commit "programmer art" if I tried again now, at least without a lot of practice.

To be fair, though: wind power is cheap as dirt, which is why we're building it out like crazy basically everywhere with real estate for the turbines. Which is also why it's being opposed with weird canards like "But Birds!" and not practical arguments about power grid management.
Companies usually avoid laying off people before the holidays.

My company did that once and despite not being a company that's ever really in the news, made the news for that reason.
Take it into the woods and shoot at tin cans and watermelons.
For what it's worth, I like to use backticks in these situations (e.g. `h?`). I think it reduces ambiguity a bit.
That's the recommendation, yes, but even then all 1024 are in your control and you can do whatever you want with them.
Well, "quick to deploy" is absolutely essential. "Politically acceptable" is a red herring.

But the OP's question is loaded too. We don't need "reliable" right now. Fossil fuel can cover the reliability gap on the short term perfectly well. Until the question becomes "well, we replaced all the peak consumption with renewables, now what?", asking for reliability is status-quo propaganda.
do the tools you use to ship containers to prod and other stages not work locally?

IME a monorepo is nice here. all app code and infra code live side by side, and while running the containers locally is not an ideal dev experience, it's at least accessible and enables consistency across environments.
They're hiding/losing evidence such as emails and refusing to answer questions.

Well, he claimed that Mathematica, particularly cellular automata implemented in Mathematica, would bring about "A New Kind of Science" as described in his thick book of that name. It didn't of course -- people like to still play with cellular automata like The Game of Life (or my favorite, Wireworld), but no revolution in science involving CAs has occurred. The whole thing was a marketing ploy for Mathematica disguised as science. Not mention that the only truly new thing mentioned in the book (that CAs can be Turing complete) wasn't even Wolfram's finding, but rather Matthew Cook's (who sued him for not crediting it to him, although they have since settled).
Qt and Electron output to the OS-level display APIs, where screen rendering is handled by X11, Wayland, Quartz, WDDM, etc., all of which still rely on GPUs for output.

Godot, as a game engine, bypasses the OS and uses lower-level graphics APIs like OpenGL and Vulkan. But you only need these APIs available regardless of what hardware is under them, and you can use software-based rendering with e.g. Mesa, Lavapipe, or other software renderers. With a 2D desktop application, performance should still be fine.
You call it a false premise, but you make no effort to show how it's false(besides building a strawman). How?
I agree. In most of the places I've worked, devs have always taken costs into account as part of the design and development decisions, to the degree that they can. But at most companies, things like cost, expected ROI, etc. are never revealed to the devs, leaving it to guesswork.
That strategy makes some sense in the short to medium term, but I always wonder what the end game is supposed to be. Convincing Boeing to just keep making 737 variants forever so Southwest can keep flying a single aircraft type seems like it will lock the two in a death spiral where they slowly become less and less competitive due to forced reliance on an increasingly aging airframe. The MAX is an obvious example of the types of compromises that need to be made to try to keep pace, but it sees unlikely it will be the last. At some point both Boeing and Southwest need a path to replace the 737 entirely.
Yeah I dont know how Infosys-Fujitsu having a "close partnership" directly implies anything or implicates anyone.

Every big business has dozens if not hundreds of "partnerships".

I dont think someone at Fujitsu managing a big account like the UK post office would go out of their way to screw something up or cover something up because a partner company's co-founder happens to be F-I-L of the UK PM? Like what's the incentive here?
Oof... in all regards absolutely abysmal. That not only hurts that's systemic failure and I'll take the response with a grain of salt now. If something like this happens in your organisation you just plain suck at management. You can read it between the lines that he really believes stomping his foot one time will fix it as he thought before that such a thing wasn't possible in his org. It's management blindness the whole org talks about it but the ceo never hears of it because the yes man are busy laughing at his bad jokes.
I'm glad this is getting attention. If you spend time reading this literature, especially in the mental health space, there's a lot of sloppy ML published.

Unbelievably low sample sizes, little to no mention of careful cross-validation or other measures taken to prevent data leakage, etc.

In one case, a supervised ML model built for diagnosis using binary classification, with no training examples in the negative class, touting great true positive rates in the abstract.

I suspect part of the problem is people coming from other disciplines (ab)using machine learning who haven't been taught how to use it properly. However, even when the authors include a biostatistician/mathematician in the research, that doesn't mean the paper will be of high quality.
And Northrop-Gruman. The overlap in the protfolio of those three is limited is limited so.
It's weird, isn't it? There's a lot of nuclear cheerleaders, and it makes me suspicious when they're also anti-renewables rather than "yes, and".

Essentially everyone has forgotten the arguments of the nineties: nuclear weapons proliferation, waste dumping, and covering the entirety of western Europe in a thin layer of airborne radioactive particles. As well as the more practical cost overruns. Personally I think it would be worth someone giving SMR a go, but in a different country from me and at their own expense.
I write a lot of tui/cli apps and I've never even considered doing sub commands. I always do --my-action-1 and --my-action-2.

I can't think of any huge positives from using subcommands. I know for a fact that that will take longer to write and add some complexity to --args-* and I also feel like getting a quick --help option would be a lot more cumbersome.

Maybe a good way there is to list commands then tabbed/dashed indented under the root command list its subcommands.
A lot of times they are narrower too, guess you want seats with a low letter too (17A vs 17G).

Postmasters jailed? LOL. What does that mean?
You're just fighting over everyone else who doesn't adblock at that point.
Welp, it'll be a fine, paid with other people's money and that's about it.

Jail. The people who knowingly lied and sent people to prison need to be jailed. Not fined, not given a handie, not allowed to simply retire. J.A.I.L.

They callously wrecked people's lives, including some that committed suicide.
Oh snap, that logic escaped me.
If you pay them, you don't cease being the product, you actually become an even better product. Now they know you have more than enough disposable income to pay them not to annoy you with advertising and tracking noise. That's actually the exact sort of person whose attention advertisers want. People with surpluss money and the willingness to spend it on stuff they don't actually need.

The answer to advertisers and suveillance capitalists is technological blocking of their monetization attempts while simultaneously leeching their "free" services. You want the value they extract from you to be zero or negative. It should cost them money until they cease and desist.
I was really hoping something had forced Google to allow the full disabling of the assistant. I really don't find it useful and accidentally trigger it more often than I care to admit.

And by wanting nuclear, within the context of the build pace of nuclear is to support the status quo - ie oil and gas.

It's the same conclusion as hydrogen car investment. It's easy to maintain ice technology, but the generation, storage, trabsport, use are riddled with issues.

Could an LLM have been involved in writing those sentences?
No one needs to copy routes through technological progress, though. You do need a build-up of capital (without outside investment), but the history of technological progress is full of less-developed groups jumping ahead because of the strides taken by more-developed groups.
By definition then, those people have experience with decades-old technologies and installations?

The enthusiasm is largely for newer nuclear designs that address the FUD that gets thrown around whenever nuclear is mentioned.
According to the fleet data here (and assuming it is up to date)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizz_Air#Fleet
a scheduled 180 seat plane would not have been a A321neo and hence not been affected by the mentioned Pratt & Whitney engine problems.

But since the A320-200 is the smallest aircraft in their fleet, maybe the flight was scheduled with a A321neo but got replaced with a A320-200?
True that, I was totally having just the capitalist markets in mind when that thought went in my head. :D tnx for clarificaiton

The two aren't mutually exclusive.

Your example is flawed in the sense that for an alcoholic, no amount of drinks are healthy. Taxation and spending aren't inherently bad, wasteful spending is.

The last time I attempted this, it caused going back through the history in a separate shell to show entries from all other existing shells in order. Since I use each shell as separate workspaces, the clashing was unbearable. Now, I do:

You raise good points I wouldn’t argue against.

You mention something important I left out of my micro-review in another post. I was fascinated that a book so old sounded so utterly modern. It was so candid and intimate with little flowery pontificating (which you wouldn’t expect from it, but still). Instead of a history lesson, it’s a guidebook for modern living.

Clever guy, our Mark.
That's sarcasm, right? Surely you're not lauding this asinine peripheral that is supposed to be jammed into a fragile port to recharge while sticking out like a chopstick waiting to be snapped off.

Surely you're not lauding a near-useless gimmick that inexplicably doesn't work on the (defectively) giant trackpads of Apple's own computers... or most of their iPads.

There are legal arguments recounted in modern law textbooks that the whole idea of private prosecutions in England and Wales is a hold-over nowadays. The argument goes that since CPS decisions are subject to judicial review, the raison d'être for private prosecutions, that they allow for bad exercise of public prosecutorial discretion to be corrected by private persons, no longer exists, since the bad exercise of discretion now has another remedy.

There is a fair groundswell of opinion, already driven by the bad reputation that the RSPCA, another prolific private prosecutor, has garnered, against private prosecutions. The Horizon thing only serves to fuel this, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were not soon a proposal to do away with all private prosecutions on the back of these, despite the fact that Post Office Ltd and the RSPCA are institutional private prosecutors, and there's nowhere near as strong a case that personal private prosecutors are a problem.
Can't believe The Holdovers isn't mentioned anywhere in these comments. That's why this is here, right?
Here is an example of the complexity. I just purchased a single share of Google. Your Google Maps application has thus changed ownership. Boom, I just sold that single share, now the ownership changed again.

The difference is that with union you cant pretend you are just firing few randos because they were terrible at their job and you have to come to the union and say „we need to fire 40 people” and union can say „CloudFlare is doing layoffs” and both investors and people on the job market know its propably not a good time for tge CF, despite the CEO boasting about bazzilions made and best year ever.
I think this is an oversimplification. Engineers prioritize the product, as they should, but what the best solution is depends on the constraints, and that includes things like cost of production, target price point, etc.

"Good, cheap, fast: pick two" is a law of the universe that most engineers deeply understand, and good devs will produce the best product they can according to which two are chosen.
As a layman, simple explanations for your points spring to mind.

1. An exhaustive understanding of the pyramids and secret chambers would be detrimental to the Egyptian mythos. Egypt owns the pyramids. Western Egyptologists need Egyptian cooperation to learn anything new.

2. Sand-filled wind behaves much like an abrasive liquid. There is more sand in the bottom of a sand-filled wind than in the top.

3. Rotation creates surprising perfection, especially when wielded by skilled artisans. It's rarely the tools that bring results.
