It's hard to prepare when the WHO [0] was still telling that the virus probably doesn't spread between humans as little as 2 months ago. Of course the western governments should've reacted earlier, but the margin wasn't that big. The WHO were the observers on the ground and they chose to play down the whole thing to ease china.

The vast majority of medical professionals are not researchers, and are not trained in evaluating clinical trial data. They are notoriously poor at assessing such information.

You can be a remarkable clinician without ever interacting with the primary literature. These are simply different things.
Please don't assume things about what I'm not saying. I'm not saying people are dumb.

> they probably have more data and knowledge than you

Also please appreciate the fact that you don't know me - or my context for having opinions about this.
Yes and no. They run on the same hardware and share a lot of the internal tools. Which is a very big lift.
things I remember: postgressql, defiantly (you meant definitely), you used deduct rather than deduce. Several typos were obvious typos that spellcheck would find. Double keys, letters swapped, etc.

Writing async from the start is worlds easier than refactoring. Had you been there at the start, I'm thinking your thesis may have taken a much different approach. It looks like you understand scalability, but, every day there's a new product to evaluate. :) Good luck with it.
Getters and setters aren't object-oriented, and for that matter they aren't good examples of encapsulation, either. It varies from case to case, but cherry-picking, if I have an account, I don't care whether I write account.balance = $100 or account.setBalance($100). What I ought to be doing is defining semantically rich methods such as account.deposit($100).
Don't forget to go through quidco or top cash back ;-)
And yet people did it before and won better lives for themselves and their families.
I think this is the "correct" approach. Much of what SWE do is analogous to Trade/Vocational/Polytechnic school training.
There is a larger point here, that 2500.5 JPY is not a valid amount to charge, thus having it be possible is a problem.

Whereas 10000 USD cents is a valid value.

Integer storage of money is my favourite as well to be honest. It's easy to work with and reason about, and it just makes decimalization a display issue.
Doubt it's Netsuite. Netsuite is mostly for smaller companies.
Only if they’re of the same house, otherwise your dynasty ends and it’s game over.
Can't say that makes much sense to me. Stallman's contribution is inextricable from his views. He's not on the FSF board as a programmer hacking on Emacs - surely it is to advocate and advance the cause of free software. His views on software, copyright, etc are obviously pretty relevant. His views on other matters are relevant at least insofar as they affect his ability to advocate effectively.
He's called himself "borderline autistic" in at least one published profile in the Toronto Star, back in 2000. But you're right, he's also walked that back too. In 2008 he described himself as mostly normal with "a few of the characteristics"

Is the goal to find an audience that is willing to lend an ear and then simply tell them what they want to hear even if it is not true? Reminds me of the news reporting about Stallman.
> Your salary is only partially based on "the value created by employee" - most of it is the market forces of supply and demand.

Value created is the driver for the demand side. Yes, the supply side will differ regionally, but for a service that isn't differentiated by the region it comes from, that doesn't matter—the law of one price should, in a competitive remote hiring market, prevail equalizing wages for remote work. Firms trying to normalize location based pay are trying to short-circuit the law of one price—or at least slow the development of equilibrium by introducing friction—by way of creating artificial market segmentation, which can only work so long as the market is not competitive because of either a monopsony or an explicit or tacit agreement not to compete for labor.

The public discussion that passes for transparency and explaining to prospective workers isn't just about that, it's most signalling to other employers to get them onboard.
I have already done the post-doc part. It was so painful that I really don't want to do a second one. There's that glass ceiling in academia when it comes to respect and salary they is very hard to break through without being promoted to a full PI and given your own lab.
No kids here (besides the neighbors kids) thankfully, but I don't need them to remember how much I hated school and university. They were all about knowledge with no understanding.

The entire goal of school is not to "prepare you for life" but to fit you into a box, any box, with a bow for your employer. Nobody that I applied to ever asked me about my degree or university experience; it was but a qualifier on the CV.

As the author said, probably the only thing my peers remembered positively from their school days was their social circles. That's probably the biggest reason school was bearable.

Hopefully the pandemic will change things, but its doubtful. There are universities that still, after a whole year of covid, haven't figured out remote teaching. They can't use or agree upon software, don't know how to do the exams, can't organize schedules and keep reverting to proctoring solutions that invade privacy.

How can institutions, that are supposed to prepare us for the future, be so backwards?
I think you are being overly charitable. The NYT staff is far from unemployable elsewhere. They just made a calculus that their conscience, and the nation's soul, are not worth the loss of personal status that a departure from what used to be the worlds best newspaper might engender. For that choice they deserve nothing but disdain.
Not an option anymore: you're either with us or against us.

This article is actually an excellent example of this in action: by any objective standard SSC was a pretty liberal blog, but the NYT cherrypicked 4 quotes from 1700+ articles where he dared to deviate from dogma and used them to paint him a Nazi.
Does this include bonuses?
> I think it is more productive to ask yourself what questions you want to answer

I second that. An old remark is, "We often find
that a good question is more important than a good
answer.", as I recall, due to Richard Bellman, say,
the leading proponent of dynamic programming,
i.e., usually a case of optimal control, either
for the deterministic or stochastic (the system
gets random exogenous inputs while we are trying
to control it). Bellman was into a lot in pure
and applied mathematics, engineering, medicine, etc.
Bright guy. As I recall, his Ph.D. was in
stability of solutions of initial value problems
for ordinary differential equations, from Princeton.
For $30 an hour I hope they are employees, not contractors, otherwise they are getting ripped off. Bill out rates for employees are usually a lot higher than their salary. The company has to pay for non-billable hours, office space, medical insurance, benefits, computers, tools, etc. In my previous experience, the bill out rates for sub-contractors is usually a lot closer to what they actually get paid since they need to cover all those costs themselves.
Damn.

I use a Carbon X1 and have had no issue. Before I've been through other X's and a W.
I was interested and then surprised on visiting the site that there seemed to be quite a few listings. However, most of what I clicked on had no nutritional information (a few lines of "?" instead). I would be much more likely to add information if I could easily see either a list or table of products which have been added (i.e. name and a picture) but have no/missing data. Also as rpedela has mentioned, an API would be helpful for adding and consuming the data.
I feel like the alphabet + literacy does a decent job at creating phonological awareness already.

The value proposition of CS is language accessibility to Deaf/HoH people while still using English.

ASL, which comes with its own body of literature, puns, jokes, culture, etc., wasn't designed in the sense that Cued Speech was, but offers something much more valuable, in my opinion.
> Once again, this is the status-quo for for-profit businesses, so I am not exactly trying to criticize Google for this. That being said, I do think that Google's (increasingly tarnished) reputation as a champion of open source work is largely undeserved because of their tendency to pull stuff like this.

This seems like "damn if you do damn if you don't" situation. Android OS and security upgrade is a mess just because OEMs are not willing to provide upgrades to customer in timely manner. That's one of the reasons a lot of functionalities have been moved to Google Play where customers can easily get updates of different components of Android even if the OEMs are unwilling to do so. Sure, this also serves business purpose of Google. But it's not the whole truth if we omit the OEMs and Android OS upgrade situation.

I recognize in myself that power corrupts me. For example, now that I’m rich - I don’t see the poor as being equal to me. Instead of serving them, I just write a check.
The highways are generally good indeed (I understand because most are relatively new; constructed after joining the EU).

Roads inside cities and villages are bad. Rough, broken or badly patched asphalt everywhere. No problem for driving cars and Portugues culture values having a car highly. But the road quality make biking and skating APITA.
The textual content of a conversation is the tip of the iceberg in the information that is shared during a face-to-face conversation.

If you include "face to face" in your "platforms", then it absolutely blows anything else out of the water in terms of depth and meaningfulness of conversations (on average).

I left Whatsapp (and Signal) a few weeks ago, and feel like a better human.

How would anyone check if there's an answer to a question without posting the question?
If I'm being seriously honest, it's because all the offers are actively screwing you over. Always have been. I've never, EVER felt good about "buying" (paying for) from large content providers. Or had a feeling the money was being used for good or in a fair way. There is literally no incentive for me. "Ease" might have been an incentive, except I don't tend to pick easy over getting screwed.
That's funny because FB uses facebookmail.com for some communication for example, recruiting
Strangely there can be a calming effect, with many people armed. Believe it or not, unscrupulous folk may hesitate to act in times of shortage if their neighbors are armed.

I do not expect this outcome under current leadership.
I also wonder whether this obscured and now accelerated "structural unemployment" - combined with a greater acceptance of remote work - will further shift domestic jobs overseas.
It won't crash now, we are just weeding out the companies that aren't working. Real estate will drop, the money men will become king for a while, manufacturing pulled most countries out of the Great Depression after sometime of struggling trying to get it started.

Save emergency funds and in the next decade of growth and stockpile for the 30s, when we hit real trouble. Find a currency or commodity that won't be washed out, silver kept China out of trouble in the 30s until the US raised demand for it so much that they got dragged in too.
If you're going to do that you probably wan't to commit every other business to jail as well.

Might also consider committing yourself.

And I'm not being snarky here. I seriously don't believe that all laws are inherently ethical or justified. Most times they get used by incumbent businesses to avoid competition.

I just want to clarify that this is nowhere close to the average salary a dev earns in India (a decent developer can make anywhere between $400/mo to $3000/mo). I'm not sure what company he's working for but it sounds like a real sweatshop. You can find better gigs even in Chandigarh (it's not known for IT that much..), but for that - you probably need to be better at what you do, or maybe you need to learn how to sell yourself better.

When people are around I feel very odd doing voice searches, so I'll probably never use this at work. I like voice search on mobile devices, however, since it's easier than typing.
If the features are significant enough to convince a CIO to change browser than yes.

If the product is not ready for mainstream release for the next 12 or 24 months then yes.

If it's only slightly better than IE compatible alternatives and you want people to use it today then no.

Personally I believe now is the time to start taking a risk with HTML5 only - when it does go mainstream you'll be ahead of the pack.
The HTML5 Shiv (http://code.google.com/p/html5shiv/) will convince IE >=6 to handle HTML5 elements just fine.

Linode x1000.

I actually have a VPS at both linode and slicehost (originally this was so that I could have a "dev" and "prod" server for my projects. A stupid decision [because it's expensive and my projects don't get much traffic], but an educational one) and the linode one (at least according to ab) outperforms the slicehost.

If you're thinking about getting a VPS, do it immediately. The $20/mo I started spending (now $40) a couple of years ago was probably one of the most important things I've ever done towards furthering my education.
China has more Internet users than most countries have for a population. It has a cornucopia of content and services that would rival the "free Internet" you and I enjoy. It's hardly a digital vacuum mainstream media would like you to believe. It's no North Korea.

Sure, there are social and political issues, but most Chinese Internet users are very happy with what's available to them. The reality is, there are two "Internets", and China's Internet is a very large one.

"useless posts like "what's the point in this?"."

They are not pointless, those posts tell, that a clear explanation is missing.

Most people simply do not read a lot and in detail. If they don't get it after some seconds looking at things, they will walk away. And look at the next thing.

Summarizing a big novel project in simple words surely is hard, but very important.
You would "love to see X die" why exactly? You claim it is "very complex" but don't explain in what ways this affects you. How do you know Wayland will be any less complex or smaller?

X was overengineered for a SunOS 4 system with 8 MB of RAM (but it still ran there). But my systems are way larger than that now, and X has stayed roughly the same. Now I've got python crap running consuming more memory than X.
Except that the "assurances" are wrong:

(1) They refer to vaporware features that the upstream developers have explicitly rejected: seriously, read the upstream mailing list.

(2) They refer to a two-tier world where some old X apps will still work remotely, while all new apps won't work.

(3) They refer to VNC and RDP as acceptable alternatives, even though these are inferior because they forward the whole desktop, require you to install and run an entire desktop on your remote server, refer to vaporware rootless RDP which doesn't exist on Linux, and don't deal with trivial items like pixel-size incompatibility between server and client.
The difference is that companies are voluntary associations of individuals. A government is a monopoly of force and justice; it can exert its authority even on those that have not explicitly (via a free contract) agreed to it.
Had the same problem with mine. You need to change the sleep mode. You need to change sleep to mem_sleep_default=deep
I'm not American, so my perception of this is skewed through whatever media I consume. My understanding is that America doesn't have fantastic worker protections or a high minimum wage, and unionizing would allow workers more leverage in demanding these things.

If you think these workers should unionize, why, and what are the benefits?

If you think these workers are better off without a union, why? What are the benefits of not being in a union?
I hate buses too. I had a 12 mile journey to get to school when I was 15. I rode to school on my bike as soon as I realised it was possible. Buses are the absolute worst for me so it's no surprise a car would be considered more comfortable.

Are you sure you didn't also learn to be comfortable in a car? You had to learn to drive, right? And didn't all that bussing condition you to find it comfortable in a cramped metal box that moves? I like driving but hate commuting in heavy traffic. I'm pretty sure most people do. Have they been "tricked" into accepting that?
GNU find, or at least my version of GNU find (4.8.0), will just assume "." if the path is missing, and will work as expected. I think various forms of BSD find are a bit more strict, and based on that usage message is seems to be BSD find.
I would personally say the opposite is true for me. When I was in college (and poor, living paycheck to paycheck), I would try every new thing. Mp3? What's that? Let me download some. This thing has some kinks? No problem, I'll figure it out and post my findings on a newsgroup.

But now, as my income has gone up and my free time has gone down, I find myself doing less early adopting, and waiting a bit longer till all the college kids work out the kinks for me. Sure, I'm still an early adopter in the grand scheme of things (I dropped cable a few years ago for torrents, for example), but I'm definitely picking things up later in their lifespans than I used to.
it wasn't that long ago the fbi had hoover, i think you give bureaucrats too much credit
I agree, I don't think the guy is really in it for altruistic reasons.

That being said, the US doesn't look so great in complaining about the consequences of released sensitive information. If it is so important and people's lives depend on it, then why not invest more in information assurance?

yes, an ad hominem, brilliant tactical response dude
I don't have anything better than my own anecdotal impressions, but it seems to me that early adopters tend to be smart, rather than rich. That said, most people I've known who were smart and not rich were also young. Most people I've known who were smart and responsible eventually started to accumulate money. So, even if an early adopter isn't rich now, chances are they will get there in time.
