Which in the end is precisely the reason why we want to understand the intentions behind the actions, right?

by shandor 11mo ago
This is a good take, and I agree that habits can do that to people. On the other hand, the intention behind the habit/action easily twists it in actuality to something else. I think the “fake it till you make it” I brought up upthread

I think it is also possible to just acknowledge the emotions in the heat of the moment, "process" them quickly as unproductive for the situation, and let them go their way. Like the grandparent comment, I agree that this naturally

> concordance of action and "intention" .... must be united in ethically good action Yeah, I had to disagree with how TFA brought "fake it till you make it" into this very discussion. Yes, one can have "faking&qu

Why on Earth would these be in any way incompatible? I’ve been using git for 15+ years,and definitely share the sentiment that basically everyone needs to learn it well as it is just that entrenched. …but I love that people are coming up

Not sure if I'm ready to buy into the "be afraid" mentality yet. But what articles like this often seem to just completely gloss over is that while, yes, AI might not today be the force that makes every single short-story w

This same phenomenon seems to happen often. My go-to explanation is that the "serious middle ground" you mentioned is actually using the new tools doing some actual work, just a little more efficiently, without much fuss. That usu

In my humblest of opinions, you are probably spot on about the autopilot vs. actually experiencing things. As a concrete example, someone in this thread mentioned their older relative spending a lot of time with puzzles daily. I too watched

Damn. Every time someone mentions Jujutsu I learn something awesome about it. I really need to give it a proper try one of these days.

A commit is literally a snapshot :) It is also very easy to make. Stop worrying about titles and content and commit to your heart’s content. When ready, restructure those snapshots into a coherent story you want to tell others by squashing

So how about NATS compared to RabbitMQ? If building from scratch, what would drive a design or team towards NATS?

> It also explains why acyclovir and valacyclovir dramatically reduces the risk of developing dementia. Sounds fascinating, where could one read more about this? I don’t think I’ve come across this before.

Yeah, you're right. FWIW I was trying to convey the idea of "not rolling your own", in that instead you could just encrypt twice by using established implementations instead of rolling your own. But as you and less_less right

I think you can mostly achieve this by using the ciphertext from the quantum algorithm as the plaintext to the classical algorithm (or vice versa). I wouldn’t trust any solution that combines the algos in some more ”clever” way, as the whol

No, you got it exactly backwards. A thing has shape and form and so many other aspects just by the virtue of being. Giving a name to it doesn’t change the thing in the slightest, and mostly tells about the namer, not the namee. One of the m

I read Make It Stick [0] recently, and it seems to agree on almost everything on the science side that the top answer here brings up, if anyone is interested. It discusses many of the mentioned themes (spaced repetition vs. "blocking&q

This resonates so much with my experience. I think it was Jim Collins in Good to Great starting with the idea that it's super important to " get the right people on the bus...and the wrong people off the bus ". Which he exp

Regression to the mean. All companies start small. Only the absolute best survive, so there is tremendous survivorship bias for the remaining companies to comprise of fabulous people. Naturally, when the company starts growing, it is insane

Ok, so is it ok if I run the whole thing on my own hardware, and never distribute? If not, how does that differ from me making an unauthorized pencil drawing of Mario?

As I mentioned in my comment, I'm unaware of the effect of the nonprofit status on this. But like the parent commenter mentioned I mostly was thinking of laws prohibiting destruction of shareholder value (edit: whatever that may mean c

I’m confused how the board is still keeping their radio silence 100%. Where I’m from, with a shitstorm this big raging, and the board doing nothing, they might very easily be personally held responsible for all kinds of utterly nasty lega

But it’s still surprising the other three then haven’t sacked D’Angelo, then. You’d think with the shitstorm raging and the underlying reasoning seemingly so…inadequate, they would start seeing that D’Angelo was just playing them.

I guess U-boot, uclibc, and busybox is quite common starting point. Of course, this varies immensely between different use cases, as ”embedded Linux” spans such a huge swath of different kinds of systems from very cheap and simple to comple

Sounds awesome for your use case! …but this sounds so much like the legendary Dropbox release thread’s ”just use FTP, SVN, etc” that it made me smile :)

Hah, thanks for that mental image. As I said the positivive sentiments I heard came from developers, and TFA is about CI (rather than boards etc. that JIRA handles, so is there maybe anything remotely positive in how AzDO implements CI, git

Is there an actual technical point beyond ”MS bad” for this sentiment? Honestly asking, as I’ve been mostly hearing positive things about AzDO, and from developers of all people.
