This sounds terrible, anybody gaining access to a unix based shell and running rm -rf /*. It is going to make properitery products close up even tighter so they don't have something similar to the US's "Hot Coffee" incident on GTA and reduce modding ability.

> The grind is no different to me than playing Diablo.

On the surface, I guess. But Diablo is a game about dungeon crawling and Factorio is a game where you make the dungeon. You aren't looking for good loot rolls to make your character better in Factorio, you're trying to reassemble the pieces of a poorly-designed infrastructure network to make it efficient enough for your goals.

Really there are so many types of programming that Factorio's proximity to your day-to-day work will vary on the field. If you are a frontend web designer, then Factorio will probably feel pretty fresh and novel to you. If you're an SRE/SWE that rips apart musty codebases to see what's salvageable, Factorio's loop of refreshing and optimizing can feel eerily similar in some respects.
That's a broad question. Let's turn that around. What harm do you think serum cholesterol could be causing? Like which specific mechanism of action are you concerned about here?

Except it doesn't necessarily go towards (positive) infinity. Use a negative dividend, and you approach negative infinity instead. The same is obviously true if you use a negative divisor instead, and you get positive infinity again if both are negative. So division by zero is impossible because you can't meaningfully define it (in the general case).
Nitrogen pollution is poisoning waterways. In Iowa, where the problem is the worst, only 25% of waterways are healthy [1]. I travelled through there recently and anecdotally counted 4 out of 5 lakes as poisoned, with 2 of 5 completely poisoned (so green with algae - it looked like grass you could walk on. There were dead ducks floating in them).

CO2 drives greenhouse effect. To my knowledge, C02 eeenrichment of plants does not come close to offsetting the overall addition of CO2. If it did, why are atmospheric CO2 ppm counts going up?

> Factorio also has tons of tedious parts. It really isn't all that different in that regard in my experience.

I would say that the only boring part is before you get bots. Then your role shifts from builder to designer. All the tools given to you (ctrl+c/x, up/downgrade planners, rail autocomplete, ...) just make building effortles, and most of your time is spent in design, analyzing and debugging your factory, while the changes are done for you as you work.
That is debatable. I get more satisfaction from working on a side project that I know matters in the real life, outside of the gaming scene, and it is fun working on it myself, and the same thing applies here: no bosses, deadlines, etc.
> It's so much more fun to learn by oneself

Maybe if you're stuck in a classroom with unmotivated people, or your classmates are much slower than you, or the class is huge and your teacher doesn't give a shit about teaching. But in the absence of a severe case of some incidental problem like that, I've found the opposite to be true.

Besides that, a lot of classes are centered primarily on learning by oneself anyway. Many of my favorite classes in college were simply too fast-paced to allow students to rely on lecture time to pick up the material. Most of the learning was driven by out-of-class study, while lecture time was essentially used (along with office hours) as a chance to ask questions and catch up. In those classes I had the dual pleasures of exploring the material in solitude and testing my understanding with others who likewise were exploring the same wonders (and sometimes struggling with them) for the first time. It was great!

Admittedly, I was generally extremely unhappy in high school, and even in college I often felt frustrated with the arbitrariness of assignments and grades. But for me, as studying with others, especially people who were smart and passionate, was one of the best parts of both. (Generally, college was better due to a greater sense of freedom and (eventually) classes that were much more challenging in a way that felt meaningful.)

My free, open-source, desktop text editor, KeenWrite, integrates my quote curling typographic library, KeenQuotes. KeenQuotes curls straight single quotes, double quotes, swaps in the multiplication symbol, corrects low opening double quotes (,,), and handles numeric primes, all while respecting code blocks. KeenWrite replaces some ligatures, but proper ligatures need to account for etymology, which has no simple solution. (Aside, even curling straight quotation marks properly requires part-of-speech processing.)

KeenWrite[1] exports to text, XHTML, or PDF files. Architecturally, the XHTML format doubles as an XML format that is passed to ConTeXt[2] for typesetting into PDF. ConTeXt developers care deeply about typography.

7.2 grams a day is still a lot. Low-sodium diets aim for less than 3 grams a day, and it is not that difficult to go even lower. Whether a near-zero sodium intake is good or not, it's another can of worms, but a study looking at a huge-salt diet vs. a high-salt diet does not look very useful.
School is not a place for being creative or productive. It prepares students for tests that they will eventually use to either get a job or go to university. In those places some people will make something people want (be productive) or have the opportunity to do something new (be creative).

> ... how the definition of ADHD is completely arbitrarily defined, as the diagnosis isn't based on any genetic marker.

Did you know that 90% of cases of ALS aren't "based on any genetic marker"? Does that mean ALS is "arbitrarily defined"? What does that even mean? Are you saying it isn't real?
I went from two screens back to one with a tiling window manager.

What I was finding, was each tab/window/screen swap was a chance to lose focus. In practice I do lose focus a lot if I'm switching between screens.

I don't have the same issue with tiles, and I can also setup workspaces to act a bit like focus rooms. I do a lot of little things to retain focus, another one is removing the mouse from my workflow as much as possible as it feels kind of like taking your hands off the wheel to fiddle with the car stereo. You switch mode, and that can disrupt focus.

I suspect this isn't about making something look 10% better - it's about making something look 0.1% better in some circumstances.

Which is totally great! The world needs lots of 0.1% improvements because 100's of them can add up to make something look or feel better when applied at the right time in the right way.
Thanks. Just some feedback. Ideally, I'd download something, compile it and then be able to just run the binary and have it start up and do something. Right now, it does nothing. Ideally, the app could even connect to some central server to get work, and just start chugging along doing whatever it needs to do.

Heading to the forums, it is a mess of what looks like decades of information. Tons of it outdated. Much of it heavy in math terms, I don't know anything about. I wish I did! I wish I was smarter! Following the "follow this first" is just a whole bunch of random information.

If you're looking for people to throw compute at the problem, you need to cater to the LCD of people like me who have tons of compute, but don't have the time to get a math degree or pile through forums for information.

Rapamycin: One Drug, Many Effects (2014)
Why doesn't this set up specific criteria at the beginning based on references to the people who came up with the term, and apply those criteria to each work it goes over? [Also, why aren't there links to the works that are out of copyright?][Correction: there are, they're just all collected at the end. Makes the article completely worthwhile actually.]

Instead it starts with a random NYT-genre list of "acclaimed" comics, says almost nothing about what they have in common other than that people might have heard of them, then applies shifting criteria for a "graphic novel" as it goes through a list of old comics. I would call this half-assed, but they clearly put some work into it.

But why tell me that something is not a graphic novel because it is too short, never having previously established a specific length requirement, without saying how short the thing is, and without providing a link to the thing if it is out of copyright?

> Do you believe me if I say that these panels are different from the panels of Saddlebags? I hope so.

And I'm supposed to just trust the author that the two Clowes panels are subtly different than the panels from the item above (judged a non-"graphic novel"?) Is it because they didn't have time to explain such subtlety?

The list may be good (I have no idea how comprehensive it is or how much was ignored), but the commentary is bad.

edit: honestly, this sort of random rambling seems like more work than just being clear about what you're looking for and specific about why you haven't found it.

>Chopin in particular was quite idiosyncratic because his piano writing was fairly innovative

I bow to your superior knowledge, just want to add for the poor shlubs who are even dumber than me:

Chopin was not simply a composer, but a virtuoso piano player, and i guess because of that he wrote what he wrote for the piano; in contrast to say Mozart who performed at the piano but mostly composed for orchestras, etc.

And the periods of time were different wrt, when Chopin was active, Mozart, Beethoven et al's music innovations already existed, along with larger audiences to play for, which created Chopin's niche

You're probably right (and I do use the term "probably" in a rigorous way to mean, statistically, when there are 10 pollsters and 1 reports different data, they are statistically less likely to be correct). However: Many would have said the same thing about Nate Silver in 2008 or the minority of pollsters which predicted a Trump win in 2016. The political landscape is in increasingly uncharted waters right now.
Check out Emmit Rhodes. My only music conspiracy theory is that he was a ghost writer for Paul McCartney. The musical similarities are absolutely uncanny.
Maybe not cohost themselves, but I think the person you're replying to has a point re. users with unrealistic expectations. People want services that are free to use, high quality, pruned/moderated, and not run under unethical practices. The problem is you can't get the first three (at scale) unless someone somewhere is working without fair pay, which effectively means you can't have the first three AND the fourth at the same time.
But I don't see it a whole lot worse than a forum of users listing all the problem they without having any kind of statistic on exactly how frequent these issues are, per vehicle, per mile driven etc.

People who have problems with their cybertruck will go and post about it. Understandably, they are also frustrated, the posts sound angry, and then any journalist can repost/compile all those to make it sound like these are just dumpster fires on wheels. But just as in the lottery case, we never get to hear from every loser, only from the winners; here we don't get to hear from the "winners", only the "losers".

I mean they may well be dumpster fires on wheels but without solid statistics it's hard to be sure exactly so any kind of story can be made up about it.
In the United States, cannabis is legal in 38 of 50 states for medical use and 24 states for recreational use [1]. I believe this to be a robust natural experiment, demonstrating that the negative impact (which does exist, but appears to be minor, according to the right leaning Cato Institute [2]) can be balanced against the previous harm of prosecuting users of this drug. Public support for legalization remains high [3]. This doesn't mean we don't chase after the harm of cannabis use to solve for the second order effects; it means we do that instead of chasing citizens with police for a drug that is demonstrably less harmful than alcohol [4]. Importantly, the GLP-1 drug class is now available, which may provide material improvement in addiction therapy at scale [5] while cannabis for pain management appears to be a favorable substitute for opioids:

"Prescription drug overdoses are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States. Alternatives to opioids for the treatment of pain are necessary to address this issue. Cannabis can be an effective treatment for pain, greatly reduces the chance of dependence, and eliminates the risk of fatal overdose compared to opioid-based medications. Medical cannabis patients report that cannabis is just as effective, if not more, than opioid-based medications for pain. The current study examined the use of cannabis as a substitute for opioid-based pain medication by collecting survey data from 2897 medical cannabis patients. Thirty-four percent of the sample reported using opioid-based pain medication in the past 6 months. Respondents overwhelmingly reported that cannabis provided relief on par with their other medications, but without the unwanted side effects. Ninety-seven percent of the sample “strongly agreed/agreed” that they are able to decrease the amount of opiates they consume when they also use cannabis, and 81% “strongly agreed/agreed” that taking cannabis by itself was more effective at treating their condition than taking cannabis with opioids. Results were similar for those using cannabis with nonopioid-based pain medications." [6]

TLDR More healthcare and social service access, less policing for this specific drug.

Yes, although they are either juvenilia or relatively small pieces that would not greatly change our understanding of the composer in question.

On the other hand there is another piece of music "recovered" this year not by rediscovery but by recomposition/restoration, and it's quite a substantial piece that should provide quite a useful new perspective on the composer[1][2].

I don't understand why people consistently seem to think that I am telling people that their experience "isn't real" or that their brains and behavior aren't different from the majority, or that everyone can get around it by "trying harder". None of that is what I'm saying. I could be diagnosed with a real, clinical case of ADHD pretty immediately if I so desired. Going by the dictionary definition, I "have it" and have "had it" for my entire life. My father "has it" to the same degree that I do and is medicated for it. My life has been a great deal harder than it would have been had I taken stimulants.

My point is that, unlike people who have a fracture in their femur vs. people who don't, the "significant reduction" of dopamine processing metric, when codified, is a pretty consistent, smooth line across the population. There are a group of people who are seriously dopamine-processing-reduced, and then a huge grey area with people who kind of are and then kind of aren't, and then there's group of people whose dopamine-processing ability defines the "baseline" against which ADHD is constructed. ADHD is a four letter label that was only invented to help doctors help people deal with difficulties they have with executive functioning, given that modern society demands a baseline of executive function out of citizens if you want to receive food, shelter, salary, and promotions.

In recent years, the "ADHD boundary" has been expanding to capture more people in the grey area as doctors, psychiatrists, and insurers play looser with the definition of ADHD than they did when it was first invented. But at its core, the condition is literally "compared to this other group of people, you have a harder time at certain important tasks than they do". Is that a "real condition" in the same way that COVID-19 is a real condition? I say not; it's a methodological shorthand.

I am very aware that the brains of certain people work differently than others, and that in "ADHD brains" (a group which includes mine) it is possible to use a brain scan to observe differences relative to that "normal group of people". But if you took scans of the "least ADHD" group, you could find that their brains differ as well, and they have certain cognitive advantages compared to the new baseline of middle-ground brains. We could call that "Attention Surplus Normal-activity Advantage". But it would be stupid to label them with ASNA. Everyone would be aware that the four-letter acronym is just an arbitrary shorthand to describe a group of people that can be diagnostically clustered together relative to everyone else. The "advantage" would be exactly as real as the "disorder".

I present a different analysis:

- All of us are more naturally talented at some things.

- When you end up working with your natural talents, you have it easier than everyone else.

- Working in your talents often translates to passion, and that’s how you get the so called “agency.”

- To find your talents, you have to try everything once (e.g. wakeboarding, tennis, programming, accounting).

- More well off parents can offer their kids more opportunities to find their talents.

- Schooling and “doing” are orthogonal to finding your talents. Neither learning or doing will tell you your talents, passion, or give you agency, but you should do them both anyway.
For the longest time, the Lx variant of the Land Cruiser was cheaper than the Land Cruiser in used markets because average car buyers don’t know that the LX is a Land Cruiser with leather.

There are tons of deals like this in the car world. While peons paid insane markups on the RAV4 prime, intelligent people were getting the Lexus variant for MSRP and they had an actually good interior on top of it!!!
No, I'm not. I am saying that humans are complicated, and that the effect of food on weight is not simply down to "how calorie dense is this substance." Unless you are force-feeding a person into obesity, other factors beside caloric density matter a great deal.

You may want to do some reading on the satiety response. You could also imagine whether you think you would gain or lose weight over the next month on a tallow-only diet.
I don't think they were suggesting that at all. It is not an on/off feature flag, people learn in different ways. People learn in different measures of many ways, even in the one person.

School typically only caters to one type of learning, and it actually wouldn't matter which type since only focusing on one always leaves out the other.

Lastly, if you can only learn one way, and it is a defect, what do you expect them to do? Genetically modify themselves? Chemically correct themselves? They're kids, they need to be catered for, they can't do it for themselves.
It's even more nuanced than that, there's the type of task, the person's learning style, the makeup of the specific task, the manner of feedback from performing it, whether there's flexibility in performing it quickly or slowly. Only chronic take-havers and bloggers will reduce it to one or two variables.
