The only thing I didn't like about the show is that if there was someone on it with an alternative viewpoint, Stewart would interrupt them and not let them tell their side. Instead of letting them finish and then explaining why he thinks they're wrong.

> Only, what's the point of knowing the answer if, 7.5 million years later, no one can remember what the question was?

I remember it as them not knowing what the question was, not that they couldn't remember what it was. It's a very subtle distinction.

What's interesting is that early on he talks about when you watch TV the "Words and pictures are synchronized." - then both the Bible quotes and his quoted story have a rhythm, rhyme and alliteration in which to do the same.

I found myself half way through the passages and I've stopped paying direct attention.

He's re-writing our view of the universe by hypnotizing us.

Like any good magician, he's told us the trick, right at the beginning. Like Romeo and Juliet or the opening song of Frozen - and we immediately forgot it - and then we were tricked anyway!

Mr. Dick, I see what you did there.

If the only reason for your job is to make money to feed yourself and your family - then isn't that important in and of itself? Because if you and many like you are all doing this, then you are benefiting society in a very direct way - one family at a time. I think it would be hard to eliminated these jobs, without any alternative (e.g. UBI or a completely different system altogether. Note: not directly arguing for another system myself here).

I see those sets constantly and always annoy the wife commenting on them.

It was in the Twilight Zone episode "Where is Everybody?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khvo6TH-DXc

I remember watching it more recently and when he runs down the alley I wondered if he was going to buy that almanac.

My most used one is to map Right Ctrl+V to paste by actually typing what's on the clipboard instead of pasting allowing pasting in places where you may not have it - e.g. login boxes on certain KVM controllers.

>^v:: SetKeyDelay, 10, 10 SendRaw %clipboard% Return ; this version types it with a larger delay to account for latency >^+v:: SetKeyDelay 500, 10 SendRaw %clipboard% Return

I think the idea here is that he should treat that image or video the same as an email or text message describing it. It gets real interesting when you're doing a real-time deep fake. What even is reality anymore?

I know I am Twice Exceptional[1] in that regard.

The wife and I have a Google sheet that we use for our shared calendar - and we put an emoji before each "event" and in top row of each day I show the Emoji for that days entries. But I need to do:

> =LEFT(F280,2) & LEFT(F281,2) & LEFT(F282,2) & LEFT(F283,2)

Since the Emojis are actually 2 bytes.

And Google groups the SO results, which is very handy. I find myself adding g! after I've seen the limited SO results in DDG just knowing I'll see them grouped and I can click "More from SO"

My wife is very quick to point out that it is not "Physician's Assistant". It is "Physician Assistant".

She doesn't assist the doctor - she is a provider in her own right.

In fact, there is talk about changing PA to mean "Physician's Associate" instead.

One article I found: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/scope-practice/...

Edit: here's another article https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/12/03/1059916...

> Does it make sense for me, as a well-paid knowledge worker, to spend several hours a week struggling with tasks that used to be done far better by entry-level workers who needed the employment?

I think/talk about this all the time. I think there are some non-consumer examples of this also. For example, my wife is a Physician Assistant and spends most of her time entering information into the health system. While she's seeing a patient - she has to wait many seconds for the next screen to come up before she can continue talking to the patient. She has to to keep up with and know that system in addition to knowing medicine. But if she had someone else doing this for her. Maybe even taking raw notes and then entering them in right after - she'd free up her time for actual medicine.

Another example is the fact that my boss spends a lot of his time doing non-technical managerial work. But if they hired just one more person in our department to just do that work.

Basically what I'm saying is that Medical and IT people should all have assistants.

For me it's this, plus it's not ADHD friendly.

It acts as a capacitor/battery for my money. My spending fluctuates, but my income is steady.

This is the best thing since zombo.com

Here's to hoping that this article leads to PRs in their respective projects!

For me, it's been great for mapping the Domain objects to API Response objects. I wouldn't recommend using it to map your Dto objects to your Domain objects. At the end of the day it helps to solve the problem of multiple API responses sourced from the same Domain object. For example, the "Product" object in a list of "Products" may not have the same fields as the "Product" object in the "Product Details".

I'm curious, what do you use for this use-case, if you have it, in your company?

(of course, everything is dependent on the particular project's needs)

Agreed. If you've come along the journey of first using the json attributes on your Domain objects to try and define your return but then get stuck the first time you have another API call returning a different subset of fields.

It all clicked for me when I read somewhere: "The best way to define a data structure is a class, that's what they are".

So now you can create Response and Request versions of your classes and use AutoMapper to convert them.

When someone green comes into my Domain Driven project they always have the same question - why are there so many versions of your classes? In my project I have the aforementioned versions of those classes, but also the auto-generated Entity Framework classes in the Repository - which mimic the database structure - but it's not 1:1 (e.g. a many to many relationship will most likely not have a Domain model for the joining table - unless it has its own non-Foreign Key fields defining that relationship). But I don't use AutoMapper for that part - just a lot of code - maybe one day.

Oh, and then I have at least one more version in Typescript!

Don't forget about Security Cameras - if you check in on them remotely, that's all upload.

The latest example of this I've seen is that after the latest cable box update - full screen ads will show for shows when it turns on and my mom doesn't know how to close them and I have to come help. She only knows how to change the channels, not interact with GUIs. She's never used a mouse before or used "arrow" keys to move an interface. She only knows "this button does this".

Another example is that our last TV had a "Source" Button. But it doesn't change the source, it brings up a list so you can choose a source. Nearly every week she would accidentally hit Channel Up or Down on the TV remote and then not know how to switch it back to the Cable Box. She'd hit Source and it wouldn't change the source and then call me.

Sadly, she has dementia now and will never learn.

This was the reason I stopped watching TV with my cable box back in the day. I used to love channel surfing, but that became impossible because I would have scrolled through 2-3 channels by the time the next one loaded.

Sure, soon after I would give up TV for other reasons, but I probably would have kept regular TV for way longer if this delay was never introduced.

The fact that he's intelligent make him what we refer to in the ADHD world as Twice Exceptional (me included!).

I always give the example of my first .NET program (2003? Forgive me if I forget some of the names of things). It was a report page for showing some counts of a field in a file. I build an aspx page and put the asp:Table on it and set the DataSource and in no time I had the list. Then we had to add the total. This required adding a Footer control and some custom code - no problem. Next we had a requirement to add a sub total throughout. This was impossible. So I had to completely throw out everything I'd done and re-write it.

When I read the title, I assumed it would show you the top move and that move would be blocked. But instead it lets you do whatever move you want and then you lose if you happen to chose the same one. Interesting.

Of course I would. I feel as though this is a false dichotomy. It isn't either/or. I wish I got the help that I needed and that adults took it more seriously - not going into detail, but I ended up almost dying because of it.

There's a term for this: Victim Blaming.

It's one thing to not be so sensitive when it comes to jokes or teasing, but this requires a maturity that a child does not yet have.

A feel as though a lot of people that say those things haven't been victims of bullying, or maybe, at least, not the a certain extent that others were (I know I'm treading very close to a No True Scotsman with that statement).

I was bullied when I was a child and it was BAD. I can't really express how EVIL the bullies were. Like something out of a horror film.

Edit: I'm a little confused by the replies - I re-read my comment to see if anything was ambiguous. I'm saying that bulling is way worse than people think. Maybe it was unclear that I am agreeing with the comment I was replying to, not opposing it?

Yes, I was thinking about what I used to unload when I unloaded trucks for a retailer [1]. But maybe not so fancy - something solid an re-usable.

[1] e.g. https://reusabletrans.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads... (not the best link, but what I could find doing a quick search)

Edit: I just realized that the word "tote" could have meant a bag of some sort. When I used to unload them everyone was calling them "totes", as in "unload that tote" and I hadn't thought about the word use until now. Though an image search for "totes" is mostly what I'm talking about: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=totes&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images...

I've always wondered if, for example, Amazon, could be using reusable totes instead of cardboard. I get that they'd have to transport them back and they have weight, but they deliver regularly enough to my house that it seems doable now - maybe just for monthly things like subscribe and save.

This is because you are the product, not the customer. The customer is the record company paying to get their artists music into your ears.

I've waited my whole life for AI assistants. I remember being really excited about the promise in the 90s. But it's this is it? Voluntary advertisement consumption?

Very disappointing.

Maybe all the people that never went from DVD to Blu-ray are still on DVD now that the others have moved to streaming?
