If you need to organize your thoughts on what measurements are and how at least some profiling tools work you can pick up a book or two. I would recommend for example [1]. It is a bit heavy on C++ side but you can complement it with something relevant to your job's language.

If you want one bit of advice on optimization, I can try one: follow your app architecture closely. This is where data structures that hold all of the important data live and this is what limits what is possible to achieve on performance. A lot of learning is narrowly focused to specific micro optimization techniques leaving big picture as an exercise.

Also the population for many of these earlier humans was much much lower. It's hard to give accurate population counts for many of these earlier humans – we don't know all that much about Denisovans – but for Neanderthals the total population was in the tens of thousands.

In my experience cannabis has bimodal impact based on your individual biology.

In my personal case it is measurably and consistently transformative for focus, opennness and creativity. To the extent that it basically feels like magic at this point and I’ve only really been working with cannabis for a couple years.

Other people it just seems to put to sleep

I’m exceptionally rigorous with my dosing and have experimented with terpenes/cannabinoid profiles to the extent where I know the relative responses I should expect are more or less deterministic.

To be clear though I am not making a comment on the study, I would generally suggest that specific task focus is impaired.

Its more of a question of, what aspect of your mindset is holding you back from performance. If you need to be exceptionally detailed oriented like a surgeon then you should definitely not be high, but if you’re framing out the logic for a protobuf interpreter, you might actually work faster
probably not because it was factually incorrect (though it was) but because, factuality aside, it was likely to produce a worthless, intellectually vacant flamewar (which it did). oops
Yeah, but you can translate that into constructive focus on the level of normal high-level tasks such as programming, or reading, or mathematics or music or things of that sort?
And then they run on a rainy day and everything is off.

Rockets have an even more predictable trajectory and yet NASA with all its resources can’t create an autonomous tracker that isn’t filled with all sorts of stiff, robotic movements and corrections.

I thought the filming was great under the circumstances. And the mix of wider and close shots was very informative and interesting. Just because a more perfect outcome can be imagined doesn’t imply it’s actually better.
I and several other women I know use cannabis to cut the boredom of cleaning. There's definitely an optimum, where your mind wanders and the tedium doesn't accumulate. But a little beyond that optimum, you either get off task or spend an hour on a single teapot. I'm reminded of a recent study on cannabis and running that resonated with me. Running is so boring, but if I'm just a little lit, it's fun and feels great.

So in my view, cannabis can help alleviate tedium and improve task focus for the most boring and monotonous tasks. But any time I've tried to tackle a thinking problem stoned, the results are generally zero to negative.

What role did capitalism have in this revelation for you? I don't think it caused the chicken so perhaps you're referring to the Internet which most certainly was not due to capitalism.
Tags are commonly used for library development, but are effectively never used for application development. Signing commits for application development makes a lot of sense, since no one uses tags.

> It's bound to get automated at some point

Definitely — it already is automated. Git can sign commits using your SSH key automatically, and assuming you have something like ssh-agent running, you aren't going to need to enter your password or tap your Yubikey or whatever every time. That doesn't mean it's worthless for application development. While the developer machine being compromised is still a risk, it still mitigates man-in-the-middle attacks where your repository is compromised, or a pipeline betweeen your repo and the build machines are compromised, and an attacker can spoof commits. With signed commits, the attack wouldn't work: you don't need a chain of trust in between build servers and dev machines, you just need to trust the dev machines and the build servers. Everything in between is unable to modify the tree without getting caught.

Signing tags doesn't provide extra security, either; if the dev machine is compromised, ultimately the dev who is signing the commits can't trust their own machine to tell them what's on disk and what they're signing. And if the build server is compromised, you can't trust it to ignore unsigned commits, or commits where the signatures don't match.
Likewise interested if a pro has any consulting hours to spare :)
There's an opposite irony, too: Wikipedia doesn't want to be a location for original research, but moving the pages out of Wikipedia means they could now be a suitable citation source for articles on Wikipedia.
Are you talking about the local NWS offices in the PNW?

I always tell tech savvy people to look at the forecast discussion and not the infographics. For example, look at Spokane:

https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=47.65726000000...

Then select 'Forecast Discussion' and read the discussions. They are usually updated a few times a day at the minimum, but during active weather events they are generally updated every 3 to 4 hours with new information (more data from the 850mb layer, for example).
weather.gov is unironically one of my favorite websites, and I visit it almost every day. I am cautiously optimistic about this new version!
What I found surprising is that there's only a 15 minute window (in the infindibulum) where fertilization can occur. But the chicken still goes through all the steps of forming a complete egg even if no fertilization happens, which seems like a pretty likely outcome if the window is so short. That seems surprisingly wasteful from an evolutionary perspective. Is this due to humans breeding chickens to be more reliable egg layers, or is there some other reason I don't understand? Maybe in the wild, successful fertilization is more of a sure thing than it sounds?
Hear hear, if you think you're coding better when you're stoned, you're only thinking that when you're stoned. Studies have shown that while cannabis makes you think you're more creative, it actually makes you less creative. This, combined with losing train of thought and having to reread code to find your place before you zoned out makes for a whole lot of wasted time. And it churns out the kind of code you revisit and think "how did this take me 2 hours?". It's a libation, it doesn't mix with work plain and simple.
Different drugs are different. Lumping them all together is dangerous:

- Kids who discover that one wasn't a big deal will then be motivated to try others and see what else they were lied to about (I did, got around to most of my checklist too).

- Taboo about drugs in general prevents harm-mitigating conversations from happening that might protect someone from one specific drug or another (I turned out ok because of conversations like that).
I’ve had moments like those back when I used to smoke over a decade ago, but they’ll come to you regardless (they still come to me from time to time). The “utter fascination” is like a direct link to reality, the interconnected perception of sound and motion and abstract shapes and colors and reflections and other things is just fucking bewildering. We are just observers of something spectacular.
I imagine the Seth Rogan peak is probably at a very low dose. Anything more than a micro dose doesn’t work, at least for me.
General Motors recalls nearly 820k pickup trucks
The automaker says that the electronic latch mechanism used to open the gate of some 2020-2024 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra truck beds might short circuit if water gets into the tailgate. That means the gate could inadvertently open while the car is parked, leading unsecured property in the bed to fly out when unaware drivers hit the road.
Of course describing the drinks gives us insight into the social class of the characters. It provides entertainment value by the reader more readily 'recognizing" the characters. That is part of a murder mystery always, gives us clues, or perhaps intentionally misleading pseudo-clues.
This can be (could be) a total hallucination. There may be some training data from OpenAI but outside it responding that way, except for me aforementioned point, where is the proof thus far?

> which entity gives those pieces of paper their value

The USA can print and lend dollars to control the value of the currency on the global marketplace. When trading outside of the USA, people give the bills their value.

You can substitute a suitcase with a million dollars for a suitcase full of gold or a suitcase full of diamonds, or a suitcase full of Pokémon cards. Outside the official banking system, the value of paper money is whatever the people trading perceive it to be. In some cases, that value can be larger than a million dollars (i.e. in countries where their own currency is in a free-fall, where the government is trying to limit the supply of foreign currency, but people want to exchange their local currency for something more stable; people in Argentina, Lebanon, Sri Lanka, and Turkey might want to do that).

If, for whatever reason, Russia pays for North Korean drones to murder Ukrainians, there's absolutely nothing the American government can do about that.
Diamond as cooling system: more power for batteries and CPUs
I appreciate these basic phones but what I need is something different. I would prefer 2 phones: a regular smartphone and a basic feature phone. Then I’d take the one I need when I leave the house.

The problem is you either need two lines with your carrier or swap physical sims. Swapping physical sims is inconvenient and means you cant use an esim.

What's the reporting on how much of advanced economies emissions have been exported to elsewhere in the world

edit:

> lower emissions per capita now than they did at the beginning of the 21st century

Given the US for instance has grown by ~70 million people since the start of the 21st century, does this per capita reporting obfuscate a growing net impact?

The marble machine song and video of the Rubik's cube contraption was whimsical and so good but he released no music since the 2013 album and that song in 2016.

He is seemingly obsessed with building something for a couple of years right now - would prefer he just stick to using synthesizers and make music.

It is reminds me a chap I met at uni - he sat in the Applied Maths computer lab every time when I was there and one day I asked him what he was doing as he was not goofing around like the first years playing games or destroying dot matrix printer ribbons making greeting cards but writing some serious code in TrueBasic.

He was writing his own programming language called "Tree" and he even showed me a programming manual he had written for it - it had a Tree on the cover - serious mad scientist vibes.

What if you're a business? You're supposed to pay taxes on your net revenue, not gross revenue. How do you deduct your business expenses from your taxable income?

You can't get rid of deductions without having double taxation.

The solution here is to remove the income tax entirely. Just get rid of it. We did fine without income taxes for 150 years. Then when it was introduced, 95% of people didn't even have to file anything for a few decades more. Even if you're a business, like a homestead, operating a lemonade stand, a contractor or whatever you shouldn't be having to file paperwork every year period. If they want to tax our income do a VAT or sales tax, which is still a compliance nightmare for businesses but at least for your average person it just magically happens, no reporting or paperwork required.

Don't really need a study for something you can figure out fairly easily on your own. I tried to smoke and program probably 3 times and results were always the same. Significantly less productive. Started working on tasks not aligned with larger goal. Had many ideas that seemed amazing at the time and later found out to be dumb. In that sense it is creative enhancement in that you consider more idea, but just in general most ideas are dumb. Difficult to stay focused on the most important task and makes me wonder more. Loss of focus.

The real question is: How do I use cannabis correctly? What can it actually do for you?

From my experience smoking once every 2 months has net benefit... It cannot help you program but it can help you higher level ideas related to programming. It can answer the why better than it can answer the how. It can be a reset and motivation and prevent you from burn out even if you are working more than 60 hrs a week. But it is dangerous in that you want to get the relief constantly, so from my experience once every 2 months is fine.
When you say "DEI is an indoctrination theory", I read instead that you are against treating people with respect and dignity. That's basically what the whole of DEI actually is.

And if treating people of all walks of life is "radical leftist politics", I'd hate to know what your politics are. I have my guesses.

And that "critical theory" you also espouse? Yeah, it's called history. And yeah, history is 'uncomfortable', especially when talking about oppressors/oppressed, like wars, apartheid, Jim Crow. Basically, this is just republicans wanting their own 'safe space' when they bemoan how the lefties want their safe space.... Except the republicans demand that their safe space is anywhere they are. Arrogance at its finest, really.

Then again, I grew up with the traditional Republican brainwashing crap. If you can't teach yourself, nobody can help you.

Reminds me of my first coding job - I obsessed over writing the best code and as a result I never delivered anything on time and it was full of bugs because I never finished anything and refactored and restarted.

Not exactly what you want but how about this setup: keep your minimal phone as your default phone with cell service. Whenever you head out use that. Your second distracting regular smartphone has no cell service. If you want to use that one either use wifi or bring both along and tether to your minimal phone.

> almost need to know what it is before reading to understand the wiki page

There is a project page advocating more accessible technical articles, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Make_technical_artic...

In some cases technical subjects just require some pretty steep prerequisite knowledge, but where possible it's nice to try to make them as accessible as can be done practically within the space constraint of a few introductory paragraphs. Usually that means trying to aim at least part of any article at approximately "1 level below" the level where students are expected to first encounter the topic in their formal study. (This isn't always accomplished, and feel free to complain on specific pages that fall far short.)

Writing for a extremely diverse audience with diverse needs is a hard problem. And more generally, writing well as a pseudonymous volunteer collective is really hard, and a lot of the volunteers just aren't very good writers. Then some topics are politicized, ...

How much time have you personally spent trying to make technical articles whose subjects you do know about more accessible to newcomers? If anyone reading this discussion has the chance, please try to chip away at this problem, even if it's just contributing to articles about e.g. high school or early undergraduate level topics – many of these are not accessible at the appropriate level. But if you are an expert about some tricky technical topic in e.g. computing or biology or mechanical engineering, go get involved in fixing it up.
