20/20 (once) - I found that by looking at the edge between the border and color sample that I could usually tell pretty quickly.

Another place where visual diffs would be indispensable is file-system organization. Each node in a file tree contains another graphable data structure: permissions! Especially on network shares where user groups are more common.

As long as there's some structured record of changes made to permissions and structure, those can be visualized.

I think time variability increases with the level of complexity. In this context I see the idea of task complexity being related to uncertainty in the time estimate. This makes it fit nicely with the Fibonacci sequence.

Time variability also increases with the time estimate for a task. If a task is "about two weeks", then it might be 1.5 weeks or it might be 4 weeks.

But if a task is about 1 day, it may take 4 hours or 4 days, but it will almost certainly not be 1 month.

Points are always just a proxy for time, and work the same way. Not matter what anyone claims, as long as you use points to plan time-abound sprints, points are directly a measure of time.

Yep, that's completely accurate.

At the same time, that's one of the reasons to prioritize removing as much uncertainty as possible.

A word of caution on melatonin supplementation: https://ai.hubermanlab.com/s/NKoA_QuI

Huberman takes jumps of logic that no respectable scientist should. Matt Walker has had a paper retracked, and his book on sleep is controversial to say the least:

https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/

In this case, Huberman's neglects to address the fact that melatonin production is reduced as we age, not just in those with pineal gland calcification. He provides no sources for the argument that commercial preparations are inconsistent, and (IIRC) fails to even approach or suggest a solution to the much more problematic fact that even the lowest available dosages are an order of magnitude more than is appropriate. If he thinks it has merit for jet-lag and calcified pineal gland, at least he could instruct people how to take it appropriately.

I used to respect him, avidly listen to every show until I noticed how almost reactantly uninformed he appears to keep himself of anything he's already passed judgement on, as well as the dearth criticality with which treats the sometimes questionable guests on his show.

Also the Athletic Greens thing: someone who's pupporting to be purveying knowledge for the goodness of mankind should not be peddling snake oil, whether he likes the flavour or not.

The health risks associated with insomnia are stroke and dementia.

You can't financialize away to GDP growth.

At the end of the day, the nation has to produce Goods and Services. In every measure, US makes far more Goods and Services than ever before and financialization actually helped that.

What springs to mind is the use of Mastodon handles for contributing trail info and discussion of information being contributed.

The only major hang-up is balancing privacy and trustworthiness of the information being contributed.

Perhaps an open solution like this will emerge as people grow tired of profit-driven services like Strava, AllTrails, TrailForks, etc.

Are you advocating for harassment?

I'm advocating for these people to go away and let people do their thing. They're a burden on society.

While few things are more annoying than Reddit mods on a power trip - since Reddit-the-company doesn't do any more moderation than what they're legally required to (=CSAM, violence, nation-specific hate speech laws), a subreddit without moderation will quickly either devolve into outright anarchy (r/worldnews) and completely lose its focus, or it will become completely overrun with spammers and scammers.

People keep repeating that, but every social space quality correlates inversely with censorship ("moderation").

And this occurrence (and the thousands of similar per day) have nothing todo with spammers and scammers.

I invite everyone to look at:

I'd say they remove about 90% of everything?

Out of what I can see there, only 50 posts in 2 days that got removed, of which a bunch were plain troll posts, stuff relating to Minecraft (probably a bunch of dumbass kids not recognizing they'd be better served in the multitude of Minecraft subs), stuff that doesn't fit into the sub (e.g. specific Tomcat/Payara/... questions), spam, "interaction/karma bait" (aka, "what's the current state of X") and completely generic/noob questions.

You'd have to look before this drama of course - since then the sub obviously flooded. I'm not familiar with Java, but it seems to me they remove quite a few reasonable posts. Including some that got traction of the community.

this was downvoted because it's dishonest. I said "punish", not harass. Which obviously doesn't mean physically or legally or whatever
