I agree that System 1/2 doesn't map directly onto the right/left brain.

One of McGilchrist's points is that our society has almost completely turned to relying on analytical and critical thinking. As a programmer, for example, we are often taught to quantify our problems (e.g. gather metrics), and then use reason/logic/rationality to arrive at efficient solutions.

For that reason, I think it is hard for us to even understand what is being talked about by "right brain" kind of activities. One example that is helpful is to consider walking down a dark street at night. All of a sudden you feel uneasy and you become alert and you start to carefully examine your surroundings. It is that "feeling of unease" that is being pointed to, the sense of something being brought into your awareness. Another example is how an artist, for example a painter, will stand back and look at a painting in progress and decide "is this done?".

If you are at the stage of "solve a leetcode problem" you are already 100% in left brain territory. Perhaps consider moments as a programmer where you get a feeling "something here isn't right". I don't mean, some test is obviously failing, I mean you suddenly feel some aspect of a situation is "off" and you realize you need to direct your attention towards it without any external warning. Then consider: could an LLM have that same kind of intuition?
Ah man, I'm still looking for a general canvas drop in replacement that would render using webgl or webgpu if supported. Closest I've found so far is pixi.js, but the rendering api is vastly different and documentation spotty, so it would take some doing to port things over. Plus no antialiasing it seems.
It's not a slippery slope, it's an already occurring statistical reality, which of course doesn't mean it applies to literally every single individual, so it's odd to put so much emphasis on your personal background, it's not like I was attacking you in particular.

But you should note one thing, it's no coincidence that your story involves having a family, social life, and I assume professional work before this became ubiquitous. It is quite a different story to be a young adult trying to build relationships when everyone already lives in a digital bubble. In a sense pulling the ladder up behind you and saying, it's been a huge boon for my family to now live in the comfort of home and online life, which in the past depended on someone being out there in the physical world to begin with. That's a general story of the post pandemic social and workplace changes, they're largely beneficial for people with already developed careers and social networks.
Botulism is the biggest concern, and even still, it is pretty rare and avoidable. Mold is generally visible, and if found, you can just discard.

As long as you're following good practices (cleaning, temperature, proper salt ratios, verifying acidity, following researched recipes), it's pretty safe.

edit: I'd add to this, I don't preserve meats, that's the risky stuff.
The gyroscopic effect of a hard drive is easily removed by having two identical ones attached together back-to-back. You would anyway want two for redundancy.
If I use uuidv4 right now, should switching the uuid generation function to uuidv7 some time in the future should give me the full benefit of using uuidv7, from that point in time onward (faster inserts)? As in, the index locality affects writes due to reducing page splits, but for reads, assuming IDs are being queried in random orders, uuidv4 vs v7 won't matter since neither of them would be able to take advantage of any locality?
ahhhhh, this is what I was looking to read about; some kind of sensor to make sure no one dies. though I also imagined a sensor for the air around the fermenting container as well?
You think the current Bulgarian spy agencies are gonna spend a bunch of time and money finding out who duped the Warsaw-pact era communist Bulgaria 40 years ago?
> you think your job to be harder than management?

If management is spending more time on PIP/promo/process BS as opposed to strategy with the product, project, services and coordinate resources outside their empire - then yes - my job is significantly harder because I am having to shoulder that burden as well as keep services alive as well as implement features as well as coordinate work

> sufficiently harder to make you irreplaceable?

Replaceable to who? The company? Probably - if they are able to value engineering beyond the mere words of their management.

> are you sure?

Confident. Because next time there's an outage causing loss of revenue and loss of customer trust, none of the 10 layers above me will be able to save the company.

Imo, I would love a world where management will have to show a lot more value. That is the price of organizational authority.
I think it depends on the store. In Montreal there’s a “micro-saucery”, I love the concept (and their sauces are great)
Using FreeBSD and also Linux/AIX/... I would say FreeBSD is easier to use/learn.

Also - important stuff/commands/subsystems does not change on FreeBSD every 5 years.

With Linux for example things that changed:

- Init => systemd(1)

- ALSA => PulseAudio => PipeWire

- ifconfig(8) => ip(8)

- route(8) => ip(8)

- netstat(8) => ss(8)

- network-scripts => nmcli(8) [@RHEL/@Fedora/@CentOS/...]

- LILO => GRUB => NMBL

- X11 => Wayland

... and its not the end of these 'rewrites' unfortunately.
Not sure what you mean by air, I use pH test strips instead of a meter and just drop some of the liquid on them.
Bulgaria still has a legit sbc industry. Olimex makes good products.
How does China fit in that scheme [1]?

Suppose for the sake of the argument we implement such methods that bring the level of security of the digital vote to be mostly equivalent to paper voting (though I do not think this is possible). Then why do you think it would be better to use a harder method of counting votes? I do not see a strong argument to justify the change. The burden of proof is on the new technology, not on the old one that has been working so far.
Compressing understanding (not just information) in a way that uses semantic links in information is a big part of intelligence, I'd say.

>Wondering how people have the audacity to try to talk to you in public when you _clearly have your headphones on!_ (just one of the things I've heard here) is not okay. Not for society, and not for you as an individual.

So you're saying it's okay for people to walk in when you're going to the bathroom and bother you? Or that it's okay for people to wake you up when they want to talk to you?

I had to look it up because I didn't know what Post open source means.

> The syntax `expr :~ annot` is used to annotate the expression with static information.

Compiler can tell if a thing is static or dynamic and apply the correct behavior. Why would I ever want to check static thing only dynamically and why would I ever want to try statically check dynamic type if not by mistake?

If programmer doesn't really have a real choice why make him choose which buttons to press?
Well that's a great question, and an even more basic complaint I have with the AI research space. They have yet to bother coming up with a clear way to define or recognize intelligence or consciousness.
The website on VoteXX and associated 4 page preprint does not offer comprehensive overview of the system. What happens to verifiabiloty when the vote is nullified? Does voter sees that the vote is cancelled and hence also coercer/briber?
Yes. IF you read the right things!
In this day and age, you’d have to show some gross negligence to poison yourself from ferments. Either by ignoring some basic guidelines or doing something stupid like eating a clearly contaminated batch.

In decades of canning and fermenting across four generations, my family has never gotten food poisoning from it. Mushrooms on the other hand…
Out of curiosity, can this geometry be used for building electric cargo bikes/trikes. I'm always on the lookout for geometry that gives the same tilting gravitational forces as a bicycle but with the ability to be stable when stopped, and this looks promising.
Congrats on shipping , but this is pretty bare bones. What kind of functionality do you expect people to have here when it doesn't do notifications or integrate with anything?

> Looking back, the greenhouse effect of CO2 was known in the 1800s, but even at the end of that century people thought it would take a millennium and be good.

There's an argument that agriculture and predominantly rice cultivation in China already did this. And that the Anthropocene started ~10,000 years ago and prevented CO2 in the atmosphere from falling to 150 ppm CO2 or so, and prevented the formation of continental shield glaciers by now. Since the end of the last ice age and Earth's axial tilt reaching its maximum 10,000 years ago, the Earth's axial tilt has been decreasing and that should have started a cooling trend towards the onset of a glacial period. Instead, we've had pretty consistent temperatures for the past 10,000 years.
It's factored in, it's 101 default assumption.

Ask how much can PRC arm Mexico, Caribbeans etc to prevent US from destroying Cuba if US really wanted to. The reasonable answer is no amount, the proposition is borderline stupid because the force balance size between US vs rest is just that lopsided. Same force balance trend in PRC vs US+co in IndoPac now. PLA growing/modernizing faster than everyone else combined, US containment partners who can't comtain are now liabilities - US still obligated to defend in PRC unfavourable ground of PRC backyard.

Trend of geopolitics indicate US allies are less than ready, and outside of theatrics, has signalled _zero_ actual formal commitment. SKR opposition drafting legistlation to prevent SKR from assisting US in TW scenario a few weeks ago. JP avoid openning up main islands for expanded US basing despite US asking for ~10 years now. All those "war games" propaganda that US can win in variety of scenarios against PRC... depends on those expanded basing (and a bunch of PLA hardware not working). Current US posture (again without expanded basing) is not sufficient. PH is more or less irrelevant. What can India do on other side of Himalayas?

Hence current US military posture (which includes allies) is not sufficient, because allies have repeatedly demonstrated through action & inaction that they are extremely unwilling to seriously help US for TW, because as import dependant islands they don't want to be PRC missile sinks, and regress into developing countries if PRC decides to do their own "operation starvation". And when PLA occasionally do leaks like cruise missile gigafactory that makes 1000 components a day i.e. a few days production will satuate all US interceptors in 1IC, every year it becomes increasingly obvious US can't prepoposition enough hardware to shift balance vs PRC, not just TW in scenario, questionable if US even able defend JP, SKR, PH etc.
Minimum Viable CD
Being an introvert and not meeting lots of people is a massive health advantage these days.
Another way to get to the same result is to use "Feynman's Trick" of differentiating inside a sum:

Consider the function f(x) = Sum_{n=1}^\infty c^(-xn)

Then differentiate this k times. Each time you pull down a factor of n (as well as a log(c), but that's just a constant). So, the sum you're looking for is related to the kth derivative of this function.

Now, fortunately this function can be evaluated explicitly since it's just a geometric series: it's 1 / (c^x - 1) -- note that the sum starts at 1 and not 0. Then it's just a matter of calculating a bunch of derivatives of this function, keeping track of factors of log(c) etc. and then evaluating it at x = 1 at the very end. Very labor intensive, but (in my opinion) less mysterious than the approach shown here (although, of course the polylogarithm function is precisely this tower of derivatives for negative integer values).
The bacteria behind botulism can't grow in oxygen-rich environments, so I think the makeup of the solution is the main thing to worry about. That's why botulism is mainly a concern with canning, oil suspensions, etc.
... and gotta say. mercurial will let you do hard deletes. They just discourage it and try to offer tooling that allows you to do what you want without destroying history / changing hashes / generally complicating life for those using the repo.

They also do have the tools to completely rewrite history if you really really want to.

So, "principled fanatic" is not quite accurate I feel. They just have a lot more options than git (which also applies to their commandline tooling I feel, although of course there's a lot of 3rd party stuff out there for git to mimic much of what mercurial has out of the box these days).
Sunday Setups with Ansible
I set up SVN for myself before Git and IMO Git is definitely easier.
> The continuity of physical processes is not something that can be proved.

I agree with you, but is there any peer-reviewed publication that can be cited? The idea makes sense to me, firstly the Reals \ Inaccessible Reals = Computable Reals, secondly you can't ever input an inaccessible real to an experiment nor retrieve one out of an experiment -- but then I'm not completely certain in making the conclusion that no experiment can be devised which shows that inaccessible reals exist in physical space.

I am concerned about this in the field of complexity analysis of quantum computers too, I think that the use of reals in physics is leading to mathematically correct but non-physical results about complexity theory of quantum computers. Having a paper to point at and say "look, stop assuming your Bloch spheres are backed by uncountable sets, it's leaking non-computable assumptions into your analysis of computation" would be helpful.
Great. But would be greater if displayed on a magic mirror. No?

In my very first programming job, I got hired on right at the end of a major refactor that had been going on for the better part of a year. I was a hacker kid who started programming less than a year prior. My first task at this company was to merge and resolve all conflicts from the refactored branch back into mainline. No one checked what I did. As long as it compiled on my machine and passed the CI test (just one), it got merged and released into production.

Shockingly, this project was notorious for regressions. We were on a weekly(!) update cycle, and we constantly had bugs reappear that had been solved months prior.

This was 2010 or so, and we were using SVN because the project lead didn't trust or understand git. He also didn't understand SVN. The solution to our constant regressions was pretty simple. Instead of merging branches into trunk, we would delete the master branch every week and create a new one out of all of the finished develop branches.

Surprising absolutely nobody apart from that project manager, this plan was a spectacular failure.

He also stole code out of my personal git repos from before I worked there, and bragged about how smart he was for stealing my code. So, y'know, just a general idiot and asshat.
>> What's important to rely on is the fact that people are able to verify that their own votes are consistent with what's in the public votes

> But will people do this at scale and do people trust that they do so? The latter is the most important.

Yes, absolutely. This is the most important, and that's what makes it all so easy! If you don't trust, verifying your own vote is a click away. If you think there's something fishy in your town, ping a few friends and ask them to verify. Journalists and international observers can sample a few thousand randomly chosen people and verify that the election is at least 99.9% accurate.

Because we all know that if journalists find even any pattern of people whose votes aren't getting counted, or were changed, it would be front-page national scandal news.

The whole process you're describing for physical polling places is a million times more work for any individual. It requires a massive amount of time and attention.

Meanwhile, with electronic/online voting, all you need to do is see if people are reporting discrepancies that hold up upon further investigation. If they're not, then it all works. I don't understand why you think people wouldn't trust this. It's dead simple.
Sounds great!

I wish there was a little more ring out when releasing the mouse.

But otherwise, very nice harmonies!

If SQLite wants exactly C89, it can just require -std=c89, and then people compiling it with a different standard target are to blame. This is just standard backwards incompatibility, nothing about UB (in other languages requiring specific compiler/language versions is routine). Problems would arise even if it was changed from being a defined 'free(x)' to being a defined 'printf("here's the thing you realloc(x,0)'d: %p",x)'. (whether the C standard should always be backwards compatible is a more interesting question, but is orthogonal to UB)

I do remember reading somewhere that a real platform in fact not handling size 0 properly (or having explicitly-defined behavior going against what the standard allowed?) being an argument for changing the standard requirement. It's certainly not because compiler developers had big plans for optimizing around it, given that both gcc and clang don't: https://godbolt.org/z/jjcGYsE7W. and I'm pretty sure there's no way this could amount to any optimization on non-extremely-contrived examples anyway.

I had edited one of my parent comments to mention realloc, so if we both landed on the same example, there's probably not that many significant other cases.
You can do Add To Home, but you’ll get errors if you try to launch without any network. Though the PWA model can provide for a fully offline experience, I’ve found that only a minority offer good offline + sync. It is sort of the opposite of native apps, which usually have offline/local, and might have sync.
I had found near $300 shoved into a book in the library at my middle school - I was 12 or around there and, being young, didn't tell anyone and just kept the cash.

I went out and bought my first self-bought console, a Dreamcast, and a boatload of Pokemon cards.

It's a good memory.

You are comparing nothing here. You forgot one whole leg of the comparison... i.e. the pesticide production footprint.
> so it's odd to put so much emphasis on your personal background

Not at all! Mine is but one story of millions. I see no statistical evidence of a correlation between failure to launch and introversion and you have not demonstrated any. And all my anecdotal experience would suggest that there is no correlation.

I'm not disputing that the modern world sucks in some ways and that that suck is particularly felt by (extroverted) young adults, but TFA and your own comment strongly imply that introversion is created by the post-pandemic environment and that's simply not the case.

What we have isn't introverts "winning" causing everyone else to suffer, what we have is a bunch of sad extroverts sucked into addictive digital media who can't figure out how to get out of the cycle. That is a real problem that should be addressed but is not the fault of introverts wanting to live their best lives, nor do I see evidence that young people who are truly introverted are struggling worse than I did.

It would be akin to Italy claiming that they are Romans...sure Romans lived there, but there is a whole lot of history between then and modern day state that would make this claim at best tenuous.
I have been training myself to call it the medical industry, not the health or healthcare industry. It does very little to promote and preserve health.

> Parent said that nobody should be able to profit, this will not eliminate the rental market.

It certainly will. Why would anyone sit in a rental property that makes no money rather than just put it in a savings account? Even with how bad the return on investment is for savings accounts, it's miles better than 0. Sure a private entity can still rent technically but they wouldn't. Let's not consider what's legal, let's consider what people would actually do.

That leaves one entity who will be willing to rent, the government. Nevermind the incredibly poor reputation that government housing has, how will they set prices? What effect will that have on private home ownership in general? What effect will that have on personal my mobility? I would have great concerns that you'd be stuck where you were born doing the same job your parents did because nobody would ever leave their guaranteed housing in high opportunity areas.

And what of commercial real estate?

And then we circle back to public housing. A thing that already exists and nobody wants to be in. Once the rental market is destroyed and the housing market follows because individual house sellers can't compete with the government funded and subsidized rental market, nearly everyone will live in public housing where a faceless beaurocrat is responsible for the maintenance of thousands of properties that they really don't care about. Low income neighborhoods will have underfunded repair services with ling wait times and shoddy workmanship while the nice neighborhoods will enjoy prompt service by qualified technicians.

I get that the current situation isn't great but it'd be nice to come up with a better solution than destroying the whole housing market in favor of what would inevitably lead to Soviet style housing projects[1].

Pesticides are no more uniformly sprayed. Nowadays, there is monitoring of the crop health by zone, with cameras on trucks.

I'm not advocating for pesticides. But I'm saying lasers are the wrong solution. Nobody is even considering permaculture? Seriously?
