Although the design is fresh & modern, I found it pretty hard to navigate the site. I would have preferred an infinite scroll with uniformly sized cards when viewing nomads. The pagination made me stop prematurely. In addition, I would like an easier way to view projects/ideas without having to initially view a candidate's profile. Great idea and execution otherwise!
Thoughts on conducting a beginner level Rust workshop
GitHub Universe Community Partners
At one office, the owner would visit and bring his old dog, which was deaf as a post and supremely uninterested in people. The dog would do the rounds of the office, and almost everyone would put their hands out to pat him... which the dog would ignore on his way to check out the employee's trash bin. Move on to the next bin to look for anything interesting, completely ignoring the friendly humans :)
I do not grok a good reason for Leprosy to be renamed to Hansen's disease. Leprosy is an ancient name for this disease.
Seems high, that's what you're paying for private coverage? (I'm basing off my experience in Ontario, I know other provinces are bound to be different, Québec especially.) Or did you get that number by looking at your income taxes vs government spending on health care?
> The incentive would be to transform universities into job-training programs.

That's what most people go to university for. That's how universities (at least around here) advertise themselves.
> but there's absolutely no way i would suggest, or insinuate, that someone with a fear of dogs (phobia or otherwise), get "help", or even have to worry about the remote possibility of dealing with dogs in any office environment that doesn't have "veterinarian" in the description.

Sure, they shouldn't be required to get help in order to keep their job. That would be ridiculous.

However, addressing the phobia would really be helpful. Better yet, learning how to handle dogs is a useful skill to have, even more so if you don't like them.

Now, can anyone give me tips on handling cats? I can't read their body language and I always feel I'm going to get scratched suddenly.
And yet open office plans are rampant despite ample evidence that they infringe on the freedoms of others (to get their work done). Seems like a much more reasonable thing to accommodate, no? Still, at many places, places of professional aspiration even, it is not. Hmmm.
see my other comment -- i don't think anyone should be subjected to this, for any reason.

but, as long as you're stuck in the situation, have you ever considered trying to train the dog, since the owner obviously hasn't? it only takes about 15 minutes a day. check out youtube.
If they know where to look they could issue a warrant for that info, and Grabr have your credit card information.
(Quill maintainer here)

There was a separate comment about Draft, so I answered that one there and will just comment on ProseMirror here.

ProseMirror's main is insight is the need to maintain a document model in parallel with the actual DOM. While most modern editors also do this, ProseMirror also allows their document model to be extended and customized, which only Quill and possibly Draft[1] is also capable of. I think this is the right idea and foundation to build on top of (Quill also made this choice).

I don't think it's fair to judge implementation or specifics beyond its ideas just yet since it is still in the development stages and things can change and improve, as stated on its README:

"NOTE: This project is in BETA stage. It isn't thoroughly tested, and the API might still change across 0.x releases. You are welcome to use it, but don't expect it to be very stable yet."

[1] "Possibly" because Draft uses inline styles and only two levels of content (block and inline) so it's far more limiting.
Roughnecks make $60-$80k in the oil industry. No idea what a welder makes, but I'm thinking it being a specialized skill, probably more. They often do work 70 hour weeks, as well. Not much else to do but work, drink or fight when far from home in a camp full of men.

Throw "underwater" in front of welder and you're looking at a couple factors of 6 digits.
Haven't had an office dog, but shop dogs are usually wonderful- sweet, quiet, unobtrusive, and pleasant to have around.

Not all dogs are like that, of course
What I like about rock songs is that you can put arbitrary content in them. Like good books, they have no blind spots. And indeed there's all kinds of bands with all kinds of messages.

Other music like Blues is more like narrow genre books, like detective fiction. You know what you'll find in a detective book and where the borders are. Challenge these borders and you're on post-modernist grounds, outside the genre.

Of course, rock used to be rooted in some things, just like sf&f used to be rooted in some things. But it turned out that using the method you can uproot it and tell about anything you want.
Governments are not supposed to do as much as they want to do. Governments should be smaller and protect their country. The reputation the US has as the "police of the world" is a negative one because getting into other nation's affairs is ridiculous. If it isn't an imminent threat, it shouldn't be worried about as much. The reason the US should stay in areas such as the middle east right now is because they are the ones that caused the issue. Governments need to get out of each other's hair and worry strictly about their own actions.

I'm fine with engineers fleshing out the technical specs(who else is gonna do it anyway?), but requirements come by engaging with the stakeholders, as you said, most notably your client(s).

The thing I think everyone is missing is that it isn't their employer who has the policy. It is the other business in the same office space. I would still talk to HR about it, but it might not be up to that employer if dogs are allowed or not (except to find another office space).

Windows 'Longhorn' (Vista) era builds had timebombs in them, but removing said timebomb was easy.

It is quite likely the project Raymond is talking about is Longhorn, as a few pre-'reset' builds were leaked in quick succession.

I agree that typically a CTO doesn't get promoted anywhere. In a smaller company, the role of an executive is about growing and evolving the business as a whole, and the technical strategy and choices that allow for that. I was CTO of a growing company for the past 4 years, and my concern was always around growing the business and the company.
It's not as crazy as you might imagine - at least, compared to the lifestyles my clients lead. I (unfortunately) do not live in a geodesic yurt in some Catskill mountain grove, but in a modest rear house apartment in a town with generally nothing going on. The ceremonies are all hosted at friends or acquaintances houses who rent it to me.

The legality of it is something I am not worried about. The reagents to make DMT are not illegal to possess, only DMT itself. I keep them all separated at all times and I do not possess any baggies, scales, or any drug paraphernalia. The drugs are created on-site by me a day before the trip - this is part of the package I offer. Basically you come stay at a gorgeous (sometimes less so but generally nice) home and relax, put your cell phone in an anti-static bag in a safe and unwind before the next day. Sometimes I throw little parties with my friends' bands, but thats at the discretion of the client (after all a party is a good way to attract cops). If I do get caught, I would try my best to use the case as a legal vehicle to change the scheduling of DMT and other psychedelics.

With regards to potions + crystals (the 'pure' form of DMT), well, like other business I offer various products and packages. The trips are different, totally separate categories of mind-altering. Both options are available plus other packages. There's a DMT + LSD two-night stay that I personally think is the most fun (depends on my ability to procure that though, since I'm not that good at synthesis and LSD is legit the hardest drug to make) since they get both the intense "next-level" DMT and then they can ride it out on some low-dosage LSD where we paint, read, write, occasionally program (lots of 'hacker' clients), discuss, and whatever else the client wants to do. I get a lot of couples who just want me to be there to administer the potion and then be "on-call" in case they freak out but that's only happened once. I just write on those days. Working on a fantasy novel.

I have friends who have chronic illnesses who swear by "recreational" drugs such as LSD, DMT (both forms), and, of course, THC. They have good judgement of their limits and I would say are more in touch with their body than able bodied people, it's fascinating to hear them talk of their conception of their physicality as compared to (this is a real quote) the finance bro who sees it more "like a bunch of car parts that evolution glued together". People with illnesses are attuned to their systems in a way that offers a unique perspective to me. However, I have personally never administered a trip to someone who wasn't able-bodied or otherwise 'healthy' - not bc of my preference, it's just been the clientele so far. We generally do not trip with medical people on staff unless requests but that's never come up.
Yup, thats awful advice.

The best advice for the work place is certainly to talk to HR/your manager, but in a more general way it might help you to be able to read basic dog body language. The most basic is to simply look at the tail. If a dog is wagging it's tail it is most likely happy and is a strong signal it won't attack. Conversely if it's hackles are up, if any hair on it's back is pointing up or raised then it might be concerned and should be avoided.

Only dogs with serious problems would react without giving some sort of sign that they are upset and most will avoid confrontation unless they feel like they are defending territory or resources.

Google Dr Robert Sapolsky.
Don't know the reason for OP's dislike of dogs, but in some countries there are stray dogs running around, and they will attack people sometimes, especially children.

It happened to my cousin. His mom (my aunt) mentions that he started stuttering after that. And he is still very much afraid of dogs. People back there undertand that fear.

Here in US, it is more "Oh, don't be afraid of Fluffy, he's fine, just pet him". Telling them someone is afraid of them is just inviting ridicule. A co-worker I knew was just telling people he is alergic. He was from India, and figured we Americans understand alergies pretty well, so he said that explanation worked better than explaining his phobia.

My wife used to be petrified of dogs, no exageration - she would freeze up. But she didn't want to pass that on to our kids so we got a dog. She will now never live without two dogs.

You don't know it yet, but dogs are, with almost no exceptions, wonderful, loving beings. All they want to do is be part of your pack and make you happy, and get love back.

This sounds like a great opportunity for you. Pick one dog. Learn it's name. Say hi to it. Pet it. It won't take long if you get to see it regularly. You be forever grateful you did.
Why not challenge your fears instead? I used to have a terrible fear of heights. Then I've got a really interesting job offer, but the office was on a high floor with really huge windows. For me that was a total horror, but I've got really pissed on myself for being so weak and in the moment of craziness I've took the job anyway. And the first few days were a real struggle to stay functional, I would use any excuse to go into the corridor just to come down a bit. But very quickly I just stopped paying attention. You just get used to it and you relax and all of the sudden the fear is gone. So I started pushing myself more and eventually I've now got to the point that I'm totally ok with heights, no discomfort anymore at all (I even did some paragliding lessons recently). That's the only way to overcome the phobias, to challenge them. And it really works, just take your time and do it step by step, on your own pace.

We have several different mechanisms for running experiments. The e10s one specifically runs through what we rather poorly named a "system add-on".

e10s code is present in all builds. The system add-on contains logic that decides whether to turn it on or not. The system add-on can be updated daily (or more often), in all channels.

> Many orgs tend to conflate technical leadership with people management and with project management, and they are different things.

The problem is that if you get a professional PM, they typically have seniority on the org chart and call the shots, even when they don't have the technical capacity to do so.

I'd like to experience an in team flat structure, one where management/PM is working for the team, not in charge of them.

> when I discovered the toolchain didn't use GNU ld, but Mach's ld64

You can of course use GNU ld with Clang/LLVM if you so choose; this is the default on FreeBSD/arm64 today. The new point with 3.9 is that the full Clang/LLVM + lld toolchain can self-host (using the lld ELF support). ELF lld supports a significant subset of the linker script syntax, and additional functionality is being added as actual uses are found. (It's sufficient to link the FreeBSD kernel today.)
Yup. A friend sent that a while ago. I sent it around to the folks who regularly takes Ayahuasca. We were all cracking up. It was either written by someone who took it at least once, or maybe just connected really well with it.

I spent several months backpacking around Europe, through Russia, and then China, and a friend of mine is pretty much a professional backpacker well into his 30's. It can be tough, and you take odd jobs when you can get them. But realistically $5 is not going to buy you a nights sleep in a dorm, it might buy you lunch, it will just buy you a coffee in some airports.

Not worth the risk for the money on offer. Knowingly being a drug mule, on the other hand, pays better.

The question here is whether you can run the same tool (the same binary) for two different targets, or if you have to run a different version of e.g. ld built specifically for each target.

Cognitive distortion may manifest in many ways, like bad trips.
Maybe this is the JavaScript Stockholm Syndrome talking, but I've come to really like structuring code based on the type of calls being made. It guides me to extract the synchronous parts and cover them in unit tests. The async parts of my programs are usually talking to a database, a service, or the file system, which are all things that I'd naturally want to exclude or mock in unit tests anyways. I wind up with fast, simple unit tests for the parts of my program that are heavy on branching and calculation.

90% of the time, the programs I'm writing do not logically branch as a result of async calls. I might have to handle errors and abort a process gracefully (which promises and/or the async library do quite elegantly), but those cases feel different than deciding what to do based on the result of an async operation. Because there are few logical branches in these parts of my programs, I get a lot of coverage just by writing one or two integrated tests that exercise all those external systems and verify that they are hooked up correctly.

This idea of a functional core that can be tested with unit tests and an imperative shell that can be tested with integrated tests comes to me from Gary Bernhardt: https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/boundaries. The 90% figure could be dumb luck or inexperience, but so far so good.

It's pretty hard/near impossible to return a file via an XHR/AJAX response. Traditionally a web-browser would just open the URL to which the file would be downloaded from, which makes JWT authentication tricky as you can't pass custom headers on this type of request (and thus your request can't be authenticated/trusted).

Our workaround for this was to have our filter also look the JWT in a query parameter on the URL.

there were two Terrence McKenna's.

One was a carnival barker, a demagogue, and showman who preaches to the choir about all kinds of things that excites them. those people bought tickets to hear him speak, and indeed, he gave them what they wanted.

the other was a deeply insightful and contemplative man who was a scholar, philosopher, and mystic. he said what he meant and what he believed to be true, regardless of what the audience might have thought about it.

there were two Alan Watts as well, of course. he was a public persona just as much as Terrence ever was. More-so actually.
MacBook Battery Replacement Requires Admin Credentials?
I would, as an engineer, be okay with that. As you imply, that makes me considerably more valuable. The problem is that I'm never given time for any of it. As soon as "MVP" status is reached, the feature is launched, declared a victory, and then we move on to the next thing, while the users note the half-assedness of the delivered product, and never looked on again. Meaningful work (aside from the occiasional bugfix) never occurs, as it can't ever get prioritized higher than the current MVP of the day.
I am reiterating this in the most respectful way possible. Do not ascribe any nasty tone to this as I assure you there is none.

Your statement which started this whole statistical discussion was:

"I'm not comfortable around a bunch of amateurs carrying and messing around with weapons.
Professionals make enough mistakes with firearms, gunshows are a bad spot to be."

Had you said, "I just don't like guns", "I am not interested in guns", or "I can't stand the atmosphere/people/politics at gun shows or gun shops". That would have been the end of the discussion. That's an opinion you are of course free to have.

Since your statement implied you are not comfortable at gun shows because you perceive shows to be dangerous,
I looked at the stats as generously as possible and determined the risk to be negligible.

Then in the comment directly above to which you just replied I said:

"I am really just trying to get people to be honest with themselves here. The real reason they avoid gun shows is they simply don't like guns or the cultures that surround them. That is totally fine, more power to them. But stating the risk of being shot is at best a show of ignorance regarding the subject and at worst a canard to make their preference/bias/distaste seem more rational."

In other words, I understand that you have no interest in going to a gun show because you are not interested in guns and that is totally fine. Which is why you should have just said that instead of lobbing that silly canard my way.

But it is bizarre for you to tell me that I was being unfair for directly addressing and then refuting the rationality of your stated reason for not feeling comfortable at gun shows.
