Wasn't the case before, but RR allows banning readers from rating author stories. So, usually authors have become smarter and immediately ban readers whose review history looks critical. You cannot rate a story from which you have been banned.

Of-course readers have also gotten smarter, many now leaving 0.5 stars for all new stories. If they are banned later, you can still adjust your rating. So now many new stories get a surge of 0.5 ratings.

I've yet to see a study that shows noise cancelling headphones reduce patient mortality in any way whatsoever. Until there is such a study, money is better spent on things that are actually known to reduce mortality. Such as drugs.

Only thing I insure is umbrellas. They never last more than 2-3 years and a 7 year replacement plan for like 8.99 is a reasonable deal. Anything else I tend to just go with credit card purchase protection and MFR warranty.
I recently needed to make a change in how something common is done across several services. I made the change in one place (and have some passing unit tests), but then I realized that I’d have to duplicate more code than I’d like. So I’ll take a couple days to pull all related functionality out into a shared library.

This refactoring could’ve been done ages ago — there’s already some messy and duplicate code there — but now’s the perfect time to do it because 1) I’m already touching and destabilizing that area of the product, and 2) the clearer, de-duplicated code will be easier to spot check.
The 3x daily dosage is surprising to me because the one notable warning that comes with the prescription is to never take it more than once in a day. In fact, I would go as far to say that if you've been prescribed Viagra the only things you know about it are: it will help you get boners, you should talk to a doctor if you have a heart condition, and you should never use it more than once a day. The warning seemed extra ominous because it was basically the only warning, so I adhered to it fairly strictly at first.

About a year later I talked to some gay male friends and they all said that was ridiculous, that they freely take it multiple times per day, and I that should too. So now I do (as needed) and it's worked very well. Plus, the subscription I get through Hims sends me a giant bottle of 20mg pills (at an unreasonably high cost) so I am able to easily dose myself instead of being given a one-size-fits-all dosage, like we get with most medications. My low dose is 3 pills and my high dose is 5 pills.

Now there are many options beyond Viagra including a ton of intriguing combination drugs that use multiple erection drugs and/or other drugs with tangential effects. But I like that I know how Viagra works for me personally based on experience. I think we all underestimate how much drugs very from person to person. Plus, now that I think about the lack of warnings that come with Viagra, it actually seems like an unusually benign drug.
There was another matmul-free language model paper released a year ago FYI:

Hmm. But if you can impersonate users and see what they see, doesn't that let you see the problem?

Also you're describing database queries and architecture as being a potential issue. Won't APIs be just as slow for the same reasons?

Pretty neat.

I'm a bit upset that, toward the end, the author puts politics in an article about history and archaeology, and does it poorly to boot.

For their analogy of "How were the survivors treated today," they cite Border Patrol migrant camps and NYC tent cities.

However, that's not really a good comparison. In both of those examples, the displaced people are foreigners fleeing political / economic disasters (or just seeking a better life).

A closer comparison might be Hurricane Katrina, where the displaced people were (mostly) legal residents or citizens, fleeing a natural disaster.
So far, I have made use of my car insurance policy two times. Each time I regretted it. First was for a rodent that somehow got into the space between the roof and the headliner, then died and made a mess. The second was for hitting a pothole at highway speed, which damaged a wheel and its control arm.

In both cases, the insurance company paid the minimum they had to. For the rodent, sure they paid for the ceiling to be disassembled, fixed up, and reassembled. But did they pay for the interior detail that was necessary because of the rodent guts that had dripped from the ceiling? No, of course not.

For the pothole, they paid for the wheel and control arm replacement and even one new tire. But did they help me pay for a tire on the other side so the wear could be reasonably symmetrical? No, of course not. How about the alignment I obviously got, which isn’t strictly necessary but really should be done after such an incident and installing a new drive wheel? No, of course not.

Oh and they categorically consider hitting a pothole to be the driver’s fault, no matter the circumstances, so they raised the insurance premium on me. They made all of their money back within 18 months and now I’m still paying the higher rate.

Insurance is such a scam. The company makes a profit despite their team of employees because they always price the premium above your level of risk. If the math made any sense for the customer, the company would break even or go bankrupt.

I wouldn’t have insurance but it’s required in my state.

The one good thing I can say about it is it helps ensure victims of car accidents get their medical bills paid for regardless of the financial status of the driver.
The largest unknown is what even IS simple?

Here's a story from more than 25 years ago. A user couldn't print a document and calls local support. After they try several things remotely to no avail, the support person comes to the user's desk. Turns out there was a popup window asking the user to put paper in the printer and press ok to retry. How they missed this obvious thing (it was even a MODAL window) is a mystery.
I personally went the other way around,
Linux to MacOS,

Initially I hated macos, as there were no tiling window managers but later on I got accustomed to it, even though I miss using linux.

Now I just want everything that works out of the box, But I do plan onto getting myself cheap Thinkpad and might run linux on it.
It’s one of the things they might give in a hospital for it.

I've intentionally never owned a smartphone myself. Our kids don't have it either. It is always fun to suddenly notice during train trips that we're more or less the only family here occupied with actual, real-life talking that also involves actual eye contact, lol.

That being said, maybe the communication pattern of two smartphone users sitting side by side is nonetheless still signaling the same humanly care, warmth, etc. Yes, there is a (IMO silly) technical device in between, but I'm not sure if all this would actually mean that it is "less humane" etc. It's just... different. Maybe.
Deep breath... the extensions are still signed.

If Mozilla refuses to sign the extensions, then we can pick up the pitchforks again.
off topic, is there any UI framework like htmx where you don't need a huge pile of npm to work with? Is bootstrap still the go-to option?
Gambling is played through "games of chance." Which is all you're betting against.

Insurance is priced through "underwriting." Which measures the value of the underlying economic activity or instrument within the fair market and puts a contract price on it's guarantee for a limited period of time and specific purpose.

There's also broader forms of historical "insurance" such as the maritime law of "General Average." Which further highlights the differences between the nature of insurance versus the nature of gambling.
Just realized that the OP is also the lead developer. Congrats on launching!

I think you can position the product better. The hero text is "Next-generation web framework for Rust, Node.js and Python.". This doesn't convey much to me. Is this a framework that works for all these languages? And most importantly, why would a developer use Teo over native frameworks for each of these languages.

There are even cheaper clones based on the infamous Cypress (now Infineon) FX2LP which can also function as a logic analyser, signal generator, USB-parallel, or USB-serial adapter.
Thats the smart way to do it anyway. Bootloader style. Really generic binary that never needs touching download an update for the actual program, and then on the rare occation that the updater does need to be touched use the actual program to update the updater
The reality is insurance is a product regulated by the government and gambling is a product often outlawed entirely by governments.
Allow me to add this to the other sibling comments: Pocket was an... interesting series of choices.

Any alternatives to Firefox worth exploring where users are the customers and you can pay for the product instead of being sold as one?
If SCTV is not on this list then I have nothing further to discuss. Good day, Gentlemen.
Interesting. I wonder if it had anything to do with this little tidbit:

>All analyses in experiment 1 include a “Week” factor to account for variation across research assistants; this factor does not interact with Phone Location in any analysis (all F < 1.27, all p > .28).

What was the variation? What was the factor? Why was it only needed in experiment 1 and not in the rest of the experiments?

Are we really supposed to believe that in 2008, some turtle-necked evil genius permanently impaired the entire world?
Insuring your tires at discount tire/America's best tires is always worth it too.
>Also how could insurance ever be a "for profit" business?

What? They plan to take in more in premiums than they pay out in claims by managing risks and underwriting.

In that sense it's like a bookmaker who plans to set a line on a game that results in bets not having an imbalance that outweighs their vigorish. In cases where they do they lay off bets on other bookmakers. It's why they tend to be concentrated on certain areas and the same is true for insurance.

Both of those are legitimate for profit businesses that use statistical modeling and risk management to turn profits and provide value to customers.

I love a real camera, but I’d guesstimate 75% of my favorite “art” photos are from iPhones, stretching back at least 10 years. They’re genuinely good cameras.
What's unnecessary slowness in this situation? Are we worried about a single division per random number?

I wish this page showed some separate charts for fast and slow RNGs and some better slow options. If you actually care about proper shuffling and the minuscule bias you get from 2^64 % 52 then you should be using a CSPRNG, not a cheap method.

Fair enough. It is one replication attempt, so that makes it even. Jonathan Haidt mentions the same in his book The Anxious Generation but lists other similar studies:

> I note that one attempt to replicate the study did not find that phone location affected performance (Ruiz Pardo & Minda, 2022). But other studies have found that when phones are visible, they have disruptive effects. See Dwyer et al. (2018); Tanil & Young (2020); Skowronek et al. (2023).
> I find it hilarious that the tipping point that year was that women had to limit their wardrobe in public.

Im not an expert in that time period, but my guess would be that was the one thing women had of their own and it was being taken away.

Men did their peacocking with their more tangible possessions. With both women and men equally wanting to participate in the timeless human condition of wanting to show off and one-up their peers. Take that away from either men or women and I would guess it causes a tipping point of rebellion.
UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) is the organisation responsible for protecting sport in the United Kingdom from doping. It is a non-departmental public body of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and is structured as a company limited by guarantee.

Maybe I'm confused, but the issue here is with UKAD, which is a public body?
I don’t know if it was an urban legend but my father told me of a user who called support because they could not find the “any” key.
> Because the same finite pool of attentional resources supports both attentional control and other cognitive processes, resources recruited to inhibit automatic attention to one’s phone are made unavailable for other tasks, and performance on these tasks will suffer.

This to me, seems the key insight of the article. The phone represents a constant drain on our attention as we try to _not_ focus on it, like a slow battery drain.
You would probably need a terahertz CPU for cycle-accurate PS2 emulation.

Cycle-accurate PS2 emulation means emulating the state of the CPU, GPU, other interacting processors, and their various interconnecting busses at clock cycle granularity and possibly at sub-cycle granularity if the processors are running asynchronously.
I don't really know how you'd usefully learn any of that unless you already needed to figure it out at some point while on the job.

I'm not a junior, maybe intermediate-senior depending on how one sees it, but I'm definitely seeing these requirements in a ton of jobs, but since I've largely been working frontend in the last few teams I've been a part of.

I know that I need to pivot back to more of a full-stack kind of situation, and I'm working on rebuilding those backend skills, but at this point it feels like I've already missed the boat.

This would be just speculation, and I could be way off base. This would also be assuming that Mozilla is looking out for the best interest of users, which may or may not be the case.

We saw that when companies like McDonalds could no longer operate in Russia, Russia essentially took the McDonalds and created a knock-off. If Russia decided to ban Firefox, they may just fire up a knock off and sell it to the populace as Mozilla is an evil American corporation so they have created RuskieFox and all that national pride stuff. Would tech saavy people trust the Russian knock off? My guess is the tech saavy people won't and will find ways to get firefox from Mozilla. But the non-tech saavy? Probably not. From this, if we assume Mozilla is doing what it can to protect users (which may or may not be the case), it would be better to comply but Russians get official builds of Firefox than being banned and the Russian government replacing Firefox with their own build.
That joke was floating around on the Internet 20 years ago.
It seems obvious? Insurance means you pay to protect against a loss, gambling is paying to potentially gain?

Most insurers will not insure you unless you are at risk of a loss. For example, you can't buy a homeowners policy for a house you don't own.
Brex does it as well. At one point last year during the SVB meltdown they claimed to be doing sweeps across 9 Partner Banks. It sounds good but I find the disclosure pretty opaque. [0] We keep our funds diversified in several banks at this point to be sure.

I was sort of expecting an article called "the backrooms of IA" to tell me some interesting things about the unseen parts of IA. But it's still cool to see where the backrooms image came from. Presumably the building is still around and the hobbytown store seems to be in business as well.

Some videos I found of the store from 2014 mention it's the source of the "backrooms", so maybe this wasn't such a huge mystery to some people. Funny how something mundane like a hobby store in your town could become a world wide meme phenomenon.

In your scenario, you are using gambling as insurance, and that's different. If you bet $20 on the Greenfeet it's not because something bad happens to you if they win.
I remember train commutes where everyone was reading a book or newspaper instead of looking at their phone.

There's nothing special about phones (in this sense). Most people just aren't interested in interacting with the other people around them. Or that might just be the famous British Reserve in action.

I’m lucky that I don’t have a boss like this, but I’ve asked myself this question recently. I’ve been with the same company for almost eight years working on the same code base, which I and another dev greenfielded. I know it very, very well.

I’m often dismayed at how long things seem to take these days compared to when we first started out. Am I getting slower? Lazier? So far, I’ve identified the following factors:

- We have more customers, and those customers are much more demanding (used to be b2c, now we’re b2b). The cost of making a mistake is much higher.

- It’s just a lot of code. Parts of it are fairly complex, as much as I try to keep it simple. When a core component is changed, multiple services might need refactoring.

- We have many more features, and they sometimes interact in surprising ways. I’ve been around longer than our product people, so we often have to spend time iterating when they come up with a design that doesn’t fit with what’s already there.

- It’s important to refactor your database from time to time as you learn more about the domain and find simpler ways to do things. But refactoring a database is terrifying. I spend a lot of time triple-checking my work.

Working on such a large code base for years is super satisfying though. I’ve learned so much about system design, just from noticing how easy or hard stuff is to maintain.

> nothing in the news was really actionable for me

A month ago, I was reading the news of my country of birth to decide if it looks stable enough to go there and then get out without surprises at the border.

Two months ago, I was reading the news of my country of residence to choose when to go to the shower, trying to avoid running to the shelter naked.

Hell, I might consider relocation to your country.
Wasn’t that on a Simpsons episode in the 90’s?
On the other hand, I would argue that having 24/7 access to an Encyclopedia, translator, the most abandoned calculators, up to date world map, reasoning engine and simply basic access to the world's knowledge makes us a hell of a lot more effective if not smarter.

Even if the negative effects are real and measurable, it's going to take a LOT to displace all the positives to make this a net negative addition to humanity.
