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

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 thin…

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 th…

> 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 discussi…

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 ju…

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 …

> Aaron Ross Powell isn't an expert or even a highly informed amateur Yeah, it was a embarrassing how hard he missed this mark while at the same time lashing out at "tHe TeCH BRos"…

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 li…

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 relat…

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…

Thank you, kind internet stranger. That was an awesome dive into the matter!

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…

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 rol…

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 th…

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, a…

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 …

Just to make sure your TIL is complete, do note that Linux containers are VMs also on MacOS :)

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 t…

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 peop…

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 destructi…

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 perso…

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…
