There is nothing unscientific about anecdotes. The problem with anecdotes isn't that they are unscientific, it's that the scientific claims they allow you to make are very, very small.

Anecdotally, I've found that Vitamin D3 helps me with motivation. That's a very small claim, but it's a scientific claim because I've experimented extensively with supplements to improve my motivation. However, "I've found that Vitamin D3 helps people with motivation" would not be a scientific claim, because I've only experimented on myself, and don't have enough evidence to extrapolate to the rest of humanity.

Personal experimentation is a useful tool. It's how we know our personal preferences, fears, and hangups, which nobody else can tell us. Applying scientific process to it allows us to avoid some of our biases. We just have to be careful not to extrapolate our results to other people.
We all know that the majority of Muslims are peaceful people. Sadly though, as Bridget Gabriel has pointed out, 'the peaceable majority are irrelevant'.

I'd say yes, you can get an SF salary and live elsewhere if you're good. In my experience you need to be ok with traveling to headquarters every few months or so. I make around 130k doing mostly web dev for an SF based company. The ~130k amounted to a small raise over what I was making in my prior job, at a company based in the city I live in. (I took only a small raise because the equity is potentially worth a lot more)

I also worked for a D.C. based non-tech company for several years. There I topped out at about 95k.
Induction motor as currently built are actually pretty good. Nothing to improve there, as they are usually fixed speed motors. When you think about automative or very variable speed motors, which have much higher power density and energy density, in those situations rotor cooling problems, eddy current losses, hysterisis losses are very fun problem to solve in context of 3D printing. Im not sure how much improvement can be done, but lets see..
Passing over nuclear is kind of asinine. The author clearly is pushing an agenda here. Even if I agree with the agenda, ignoring what you do not like is the antithesis of science and progress. This is at best, unintentionally biased and comes off as purposefully misleading.
$120,000 might be too low a number. $150,000 is certainly defensible.

I worked on a project where lexing speed was of concern. Because it was C++ I didn't have the easy option of reaching for regexes so I instead wrote a hand-rolled lexer as suggested in the post.

But later I found a tool, re2c, where you write regular expressions in your source code and it expands them out to a fast parser using every last trick (gotos and lookup tables, see an example of the generated code here[1]). The result had the delightful and rare property where the final code was both higher-level (regexes are a succinct way of expressing lexing) and faster than the lower-level hand-rolled code.

One of the forms mentions London, thus some UK advice.

"handicareers" seems like a play on the handicapped word. You might need to know that word is strongly rejected by large numbers of the UK population. This is possibly going to attract strongly negative attention.

You might want to link employers and potential employees to advice about Access to Work, and to best current practice about reasonable adjustments, and to advice about the Equality Act.
> I think I pay about 11 cents per transaction. Way less than credit cards!

Yes but you're currently competing against a lumbering, outdated and over-regulated marketplace that's ripe for renovation.

What do you think will happen the minute these banks get real competition? They will update their network and make transactions cost 5c, or N-1 where N is the current BTC transaction cost. They will always be ahead because their limits are self-imposed and solved through simple software, not intentionally and computationally difficult.

And they already are! I can instantly send money to all of my friends with venmo paying no transaction fees. And I don't even have to argue with them about the inherent value of US dollars and the problems with fiat currencies!

What interns and new grads really get paid at top tech companies
I will add one thing, it takes between 1 to 2 months to have the routine be really part of your daily life, but it takes 1 week to lose it!

What is really important is that you never forget the hard work it was to build the routine to never let it go. It is hard for everybody to build again a routine after a break like when you broke your foot (like me right now) and need to go back to running every second day (I know it will be painful both physically and psychologically for me).

Point 5. is really important. One habit at a time, it takes a lot of willpower to build one action/activity into a routine, do not overload. Also, there are some habits which are easier to start building at given point in your life or of the year (running in winter may not be fun for you). So use the right time of the year, the right break in your life to start something and fight to not lose the ones you achieved.
Look into CBT in terms of efficacy.

A bit of a PSA... For anyone who relates to this very strongly, some people with extreme difficulty in forming positive habits have executive function disorders such as ADHD. This is a primary symptom and is often viewed as lack of willpower or laziness vs. a treatable condition. Forming habits under treatment is much more effective.

> Why would an employer post to a job board for people with disabilities in general, except out of a misguided sense of charity, or perhaps to meet some kind of quota?

One of my employers purposefully went and hired a blind developer. Not because they felt charitable or because they had to fill some quota but because we needed to improve the accessibility of our web apps. But it took us nearly half a year just to find someone and then we still needed them to get through interviews. The process took over a year.

Having that developer on the team proved tremendously effective in improving the accessibility for everyone, not just the vision impaired. Depending on what you do having someone on the team that actively works on this and understands these issues at a much deeper level can bring enormous benefit. It also ensured this wasn't a one off improvement. By continuously being involved they sensitised other developers to these issues.

A few decades ago people would personify the word disability in Germany.

"Ein Behinderter hat dort geparkt" -> "A disabled was parking there"

But this changed drastically in my lifetime. We often just say "he is disabled" and mostly to people who are mentally challenged. For physical disabilities we often use the specific word directly.

If someone can't see or walk, we simply say it, we don't say he is disabled, it's already implied by his condition.
I second the recommendation for "The Power of Habit". I read it years ago and it has completely changed the way I think about human behavior and interpret the actions of the people in my life.

> (there are millions of Muslims in the EU already, not "letting them in" is not a solution)

50 years ago:

Now:

"Muslims started generating problems, but there are so many of them, that not "letting them in" is not a solution anymore. So we must keep letting them in..."
The universe as a simulation is one of those ideas that sound interesting at first but are actually pretty useless the longer you think about them. There is for example also solipsism, the idea that only you exist and the rest of the world is just in your mind, or Last Thursdayism, the idea that the world came into existence last Thursday with all our minds filled with fake memories of the time before last Thursday.

Those ideas put you - if you believe in them - in a spot where you can learn nothing about the world. There is nothing that allows you, even in principle, to figure out if there was a universe before last Thursday or if there is a world outside of your mind. There is not much more that would allow you to figure out whether the universe is a simulation or not.

Many people talking about that idea suggest to look for indicators of limited computing resources, rounding error or whatnot. But that is totally misguided in my opinion because it presupposes that you know what at least one of the two options, the universe or a simulation of it, looks like.

Who is to say that the laws of physics of the universe do not look like they are using floating numbers? Who is to say that a simulation of a universe may have to deal with limited resources? The outside world could be so foreign to us, time, space and laws of physics may not even be a thing there. Realistically the only way to distinguish between a real universe and simulation would be if the owner of the simulation told you in a pretty obvious way like with small serial numbers printed on all the electrons.

I kind of understand that people don't like the idea of not even seriously considering a substantial class of ideas that are not in conflict with what we see and that could therefore actually be correct. It also seems not very satisfying to throw some probabilities at them, last Thursday, unlikely, a simulation, totally reasonable thing to do, pretty likely. In the end, if it is not falsifiable, just ignore it and have one fewer things to worry about.

Uh, it's really sinple, though not easy.

1. Do the same thing at the same time over and over again, intentionally.
2. Watch yourself keep on doing it unintentionally.

Ok "same time" is the more complex part. Your trying to wire your brain to do something deterministically in response to some stimulum. It can be external, or internal (feedback).
Why does "disabled" have the connotation of being unable to be productive, and the phrase "people with disabilities" not? Surely, if we use the phrase "people with disabilities" as we would have used "disabled", it will gain similar connotations, no?

I really LOVE this concept. I think it is much needed. I've seen studies of entire customer service departments staffed by disabled individuals who showed extreme patience and empathy with customers resulting in higher satisfaction.

No, leaving the checkbox unchecked does not mean you're opposed to hiring people with disabilities. The job posting is still equally available to people with and without disabilities.

It is definitely viable. However, you will spend extra effort in one of two areas. 1) Either looking for more positions (gigs) or 2) Spending more time integrating yourself building relationships with those you work with. You have to forcefully make sure you take part, participate in, or lead new efforts. The reason? Out of site, out of mind. It doesn't happen all at once - but it's accretive that opportunities go to others, and then over time are assigned to others. If you choose (1) from above, you need to build relationships to receive new gigs, or use recruiters to find them (and take a portion of your wages).
I believe the preference is due to "disabled person" has the connotation of "a person who is disabled", where "disabled" is an essential property of the person, while "person with disabilities" has the connotation where the disability is not essential to the person's definition: it's just one aspect of the person.

If there isn't evidence of actual voter fraud that a voter ID can prevent, what does implementing a voter ID propose to fix? It seems like a feel good measure to help a subset of people feel warm and fuzzy, with a documented reality [1] [2] [3] [4] that voter ID laws have been struck down in various states because courts have found them to selectively and maliciously discriminatory by design.

India went out of its way to ensure its populace had ID or was able to get ID. They go out of their way to place polling locations where they are accessible to remote and disenfranchised population (example: putting polling locations on sides of mountains, while we close the polls two hours after people get out of work). Polling locations were mandatory every 2km from where people lived in India.

In America, we enact voter ID laws, then close 31 DMV locations immediately [0].

The difference is that in America, much like a poll tax or test, these initiatives are implemented to prevent certain people from voting, otherwise there would be a sweeping reform to _ensure_ every eligible voter had an ID card. That isn't the case and courts agree [1] [2] [3] [4].

97% of India's population was given a voter ID (EPIC) card. Indians without an EPIC card have over 12 options for identifying documents which they can present at polls.

Witchcraft Compiler: Towards Self Aware Computer Programs by Jonathan Brossard
I absolutely would say that if you can come up with an experiment that has reasonable risk, some connection to your cancer, and has measurable effects or lack of effects, you should go for it.

Good luck finding an experiment that fits those criteria for cancer, though.

Pulling an all-nighter to see its effects on your depression fits all that. It's low-risk: it doesn't interfere with your doctor's orders and plenty of people have survived all-nighters without ill effects. It's connected to depression in that it affects the brain, which we believe to be connected to depression. And it has measurable effects or lack of effects in that you can take stock of your mood at intervals after doing it.

> One of my employers purposefully went and hired a blind developer.

That was really great of them to hire a blind developer, what makes me mildly furious is that disabled in the tech world means blind or deaf, there isn't any room for people with extreme motor skill difficulties. A few people have suggested tools in this thread and they have all been for blind people and that is what "accessibility" has come to mean the technology space at the moment. Blind people definitely need to be catered to don't get me wrong, but how do you use the Internet if you can't use your arms? It just doesn't come up in web development courses, most software products don't think about it at all, we really are the redheaded stepchildren the accessibility world.

It's only Apple in the past couple of years who came out with their suite of tools to allow quadriplegics and people with extreme motor difficulties to use iOS that have really thought about it, and they are really amazing. Full disclosure I helped beta test a couple of versions of iOS accessibility stuff, but there isn't another company in the world where you could take a laptop or phone out-of-the-box and within 5 minutes be up and running as a person with quadriplegia. And believe me I've looked!

So developers, spare a thought for those of us who had to cobble together some Frankenstein approach to using the Internet just because we cannot use our hands! :-)
Poor choice of word on my part. That wasn't a dig on you, just that as a solo founder before taking on staff there is a limit to how much you can accomplish.

Your ability to produce is limited by the number of hours you can work. The revenue and income is limited by whom you are selling to. The more clients you sell too the less likely you can scale before taking on staff. So typically you'd have fewer clients at higher revenue per client. Which also has its own issues.

In general, and in my opinion you wind up hiring staff for almost any business once you cross $500k/yr run rate or you have more then 5-10 active clients/projects that require weekly touches. The level and details of what that staff is and the cost varies greatly.

That said there are solo founders generating more.
Certainly, and I can also type my JavaScript. But it doesn't happen more than maybe 1% of the time because optional good practices usually fall by the wayside.

This is why Go's simple but strict rules are so key to keeping it clean. Again, I'm not opposed to the alias solution, I just don't think it should be added as a tool with optional good practices accompanying the design spec (e.g., "use it to transition an API and then remove the old aliases").

In his article, Russ argues mainly for the breaking API case, but ends with that general aliases (what was proposed for 1.8) are a promising solution. I think otherwise – a specific use case shouldn't necessarily be seen as an opportunity to apply a generic solution.

Although loaded, these are questions. Maybe we should be able to answer these to this angry citizen. Apparently we failed.

2. "I'm soooooo looking forward to the rise of the far right"

So here he is suggesting his solution. Well, that is just his opinion man.

3. "of all the news, of my girlfriend telling me how she doesn't feel secure walking alone in the city, I'm just so fucking tired of all of this, and over time it's just going to get worse."

And here he is describing how he feels and how it affects him.
