This is a strange critique. His recommendation isn't a soundbite. It is: ask questions, figure out what you need to know to answer those questions, and then collect that data.

That (asking questions and making informed decisions) sounds like exactly what those "managers and decision makers" ought to be doing in the first place. To collect everything because you can't decide on a strategy is exactly the opposite.

Go right to shooting the guy, huh? Now I know something about how anarchists think.

How about we start with, do your own investigating, hire a private investigator, put up security cameras etc. You know, the things you'd be forced to do if Anarchy was actually in operation. Too much trouble? Exactly why we have civil societies.

Excercise also causes stress. If I go two days without running, I feel in a low, agitated mood while at the same time physically lethargic. All throughout the day I have urge to lie down and take a nap. It's exactly like withdrawal from a drug. It starts on the first day off intensifies on the second day. Even a short run helps; for instance a single hard 800 m repeat. After that I feel normal, like on running days.

The problem goes away after a week or two if I quit completely; it's caused by the exercise.

Basically all the strictly positive stuff you hear, though not wrong in and of itself, is a rather unbalanced view spread by people who don't actually exercise, or not a whole lot.
Has anyone gotten the other solutions to work? I've been collecting my notes but I haven't gotten around to it.

>"Adding people doesn’t mean there’s less work for the people that are already there. It means that the entire company can do more."

I wish the article expanded further on this in the section on firing beyond the mantra of "fire fast." Taking the infamous Netflix presentation as an example, there may be plenty of other jobs that need to be done at the company, but the reality is the generalist wearing multiple may need to be swapped for a specialist wearing one or two. So there may not be any other jobs for that generalist, and it isn't necessarily a critique of their performance.

While the article touches briefly on this, it doesn't seem to follow through and connect it with the examples of questions/concerns people voice during phases of growth and team changes.

Unfortunately, unless it is deeply ingrained in the culture, it is often not a great approach as a manager to tell a team "well, your concerns are justified and we'll be evaluating whether there's still opportunities that are a good fit for you here." But that is ultimately the candid answer I think a lot of employees might be looking for in response to the sorts of questions the article gives as examples.

This could suggest a reverse causation: People who have better jobs, have both less stress and more time to exercise.
I run 5k three times a week, and do a moderately heavy weights session each of those days. I don't want my employer to force me to be standing when I've already done 2 hours of exercise that day.
Luckily a huge amount of that testing work has been captured in a comprehensive test suite for SQLite that any alternative implementation could easily use to ensure compatibility.

Out of all the release notes this is probably the one that I'm the most excited about. Hopefully this sheds some light on the more confusing warnings (e.g. warnings about missing keys with no real way to determine where they are missing).

The NASA division I interned at was tasked with creating better living spaces for astronauts. The division was decommissioned soon after my internship ended because astronauts more or less said, "We don't need more space. We get to be astronauts."

While I'm sure it's not the case, this seems like something SpaceX designed before talking to astronauts (and I doubt that's actually the case). However, it's a crew transport and not payload transport, so their space (volume, that is) considerations could be much less particular.

Scandinavia is not really where you want to go in Europe for good intercity trains (its commuter rail is another story). The connection between Sweden and Norway is especially notorious for being ancient and slow, with plans to upgrade it being discussed for many years. The modern lines are the Great Belt route east-to-west across Denmark, and the triangle in southern Sweden connecting Malmö, Gothenburg, and Stockholm. And even those are not up to French, Spanish, or German standards.

The "remember me" token doesn't need to contain or be derived from any meaningful data at all; it merely needs to be unique to the user so you can associate it with the user, and should be both unpredictable and frequently changed/regenerated. It's just a more persistent version of the session ID you'd be using in any case even if the "remember me" option wasn't selected.
But that just shows how difficult these comparison are - Siberia has an extremely uneven distribution of population. If you chose one part of Siberia - Krasnoyarsk Krai, it is nearly ten times the area of Wyoming and has a much lower population density 1.21/km2 rather than 2.26/km2.

Unsolicited advice time!

Start looking for another job ASAP. Raise your salary expectations to at least 10% over what you make now. Name a figure at least 15% higher early in negotiations, if you get cornered in to picking a number first. Consider going higher than these minimums. 20%. Maybe 25%. Don't drop your starting bid until you've failed to land at least two jobs due solely to salary expectation mismatches.

You may be surprised at how accepting people are of a slightly-nicer-worded version of "why do I want to leave so soon? The job is shit, that's why", especially if you can frame it as "it's not advancing my career as I expected blah blah blah". And really, six months isn't that bad. I know lots of very successful people with multiple entries like that in their work history.

Since you can't really use anyone where you are now as a reference anyway (not for this particular job search, at least), if you haven't already been explicitly told you have to work 10-12 hours, consider cutting back to 8 hours/day cold-turkey and using the time you save to recover and to look for a job, at least until someone complains.

(I'm assuming you're in tech and don't live in the middle of no-where. Hell, I do live in the middle of no-where by many people's standards, and anyone with even a hint of talent gets snapped up here fast. Job openings as far as the eye can see. It won't last forever—move while you can. It's musical chairs.)
I wonder how well this would work for shipping game assets in the browser. One of the nice things I miss about flash was having a single compiled object to store on the server and distribute to end users which contained all the assets and sounds needed for the game. Stuffing all your assets into a sqlite database and sending that over the wire would keep everything nice and tidy.
You didn't skim well enough then.

> What discredits trigger warnings is studies showing that trigger warnings do more harm than good.

It's possible trigger warnings might ultimately be unhelpful for PTSD sufferers. I don't know whether that's the case, as without further research I can't tell how selective these articles are.

Even if it's not helpful for PTSD sufferers, it might still be useful for people in different situations.

I did think of that. I don't think there's a gender-neutral alternative to that fallacy's name.
I don't see where it has anything to do with Node. It looks like it's using NPM to install it, but the actual running of the VM looks like it goes through the standard hypervisor of the host OS. NPM is technically separate from Node (though yes, the majority of its use is for Node modules). If it is using Node for anything, I can only imagine it is as a replacement for shell scripting.

Interesting, using NPM. Now that I think about it, it's the only package manager that I know of that runs on and is commonly used on all 3 major OSes.

Actually a small job seeking hack is using the same tools many SDRs and inside sales people use.

LinkedIn is a great place to find hiring directors for various jobs you area looking for. You can stand out by reaching out to these people directly to their email.

Get their email using some chrome extensions tools like:

1. SellHack
2. Salesloft
etc..

(they offer a number of free credits so you won't have to pay anything for something like up to 10 emails found)

In short:

1.Find some companies you want to work for
2.Find the hiring manager at the dpt you are interested in
3.Prospect their actual email address like a kick-ass SDR
4. Send them a personal email with your CV (etc.) and standout from the hundreds of other applicants that use every other service that is easily accessible.

Good luck!

There's a difference between being indecisive about what data or questions you care about now and being unsure about which data/questions you will care about in the future. If your data needs might change in the future, then there is an argument to be made in favor of saving data that has no current apparent value, and this must be weighed along with everything else when deciding what data to keep. Sometimes data can suggest new questions, and sometimes it is worth collecting data purely in the hope that it will generate new questions.

As an example from my research area, the human genome was not sequenced to answer any one specific biological question; it was sequenced because without it, we would not even be able to ask the kind of questions we wanted to, much less answer them.

Of course, that's a research context. In a business context, especially in a well-established industry, the types of data that you need are likely to be well-understood and exploratory analysis is probably a lot less important.
Building a Ruby on Rails App Part 2: Styling the Layout
What I'm saying is that bad things, things that are so horribly, terribly bad that they could alter the course of human civilization for the worse, permanently, are happening right now and are being largely ignored by technologists, while they are worried about preventing something that might happen, someday.

And when people level the criticism at the technology industry that it is currently mainly focused on creating trifles for already-wealthy people, the inevitable response is that incredible technological innovation, the kind we could use to solve actual life-threatening problems, might come out of the effort to create those trifles, so it's not worth pursuing actual problems directly.

What's so interesting about the obsession over the singularity is that there is massive effort and capital being directed at directly solving a problem that is purely theoretical while, for example, climate change is already creating mass social instability all over the world, and companies working directly on possible technological solutions for climate change have to fight hard for every penny.

These days it definitely feels like the priorities of the owners of capital are located somewhere in an alternate reality the rest of us can only scratch our heads at.

I dont think american trains have any incentive to get better. it works sort of good enough and people pay, why care about speed or comfort?

in "europe" and really they mean germany and france, switzerland in particular, not actual "all of europe" - there is a minimum coverage the company has to achieve ands it cant "get out of it".

Same thing for cellphone coverage and internet coverage. Heck, France is starting to get a lot of FTTH everywhere (free install, less than 30e/mo for 100mit) because of these requirements. The bay area can keep dreaming on getting something else than comcast at 30mbit coaxial cable for 60 bucks/mo + have to buy modem and tech if not wired.

Basically, capitalism-all-the-things don't work very well with monopolies and corrupted organizations/cities/countries.

socio-capitalism isnt the greatest but it works a little better.
Totally agree. Was going to add that an expanding schema is a liability but that seems self evident with the comments about code expansion.

If you've ever built a very busy application you know the truth of this. At first the massive access to data you have seems like a gift and you'll log it all "just in case". You might even brag about the volumes of data you have and speculate about their value to investors and internally. But eventually you realize the risk and cost and cost of managing the risk.
My point is that doesn't describe the reality of California for all sorts of historical reasons so assuming that's the reality isn't very useful. Perhaps SF and the South Bay should encourage higher density and mixed use communities, but that takes a long time even in the best case. The bottom line is that not everyone can necessarily live in the specific locale they'd prefer. And just making things denser isn't the answer. Marin County isn't Marin County if you make it NYC.
