> It simply gets tiring for people to argue ad infinitum about this with every non-believer.

And the true believers are the ones who will be lambo rich as long as they keep buying and holding, right? Just keep hyping up all these empty promises... some rube out there will buy into it.
the question is not whether or not to push back, the question is how. Do we begin from a place of compassion, or a place of condemnation? Are we a spectator booing from the outside, or are we a participant prepared to have a conversation?

Avarice is a deep facet of human psychology. Our kids don't need to be 'exposed' to it to discover it in themselves. If one condemns avarice, one doesn't provide a path for one's child (or oneself) to reconcile themselves with with reality. You and those you condemn remain avaricious, but under different flags and in your own ways.
> bending a pin on a CPU, giving a static shock to a component, misapplying thermal paste.

Pins are in the socket now and very small, pretty much impossible to bend without negligence. Thermal paste is also usually pre-applied to the stock cooler, and you won't need to apply your own unless you're using an aftermarket cooler and overclocking.

Static shock is probably the only real concern but honestly I've built at least 20 PCs, at least 5 while wearing socks on a carpet. I've just never seen it be an issue or even met someone in real life who shocked hardware.

Parts are also much more durable than you'd initially believe. I competed in a PC building race (weird, right?) and most builds took 2 minutes or less (some stuff was pre-assembled). Hardware was slammed into motherboards as fast as possible, clumsily dropped on the floor, no regard for static. No attendee had any hardware issues.

> Even for enthusiasts, this is a task they do perhaps every 3 years, and every time with different components.

Nah, for those of us who love it, we'll gladly build your PC for free (for friends) if you buy the parts, I'll even double check the build first. Though I do try to haggle a six pack of beer out of the deal.

Hence the other question, "Does paying for childcare not seem strange for a one-income family?"
having worked in a commercial kitchen with a grill station, believe it or not the easiest thing to do with dirty grates was to throw them in the dishwasher or soak them overnight with the soda fountain tips in a mild solution of bleach. our grates were mild steel and cast iron.

We would start our grills at 5-6 AM for breakfast sausage and ham, which did a great job of re-seasoning the grates if youre curious. day shift would take over from there with the station menu from our chefs. Generally we were careful to avoid sticky marinades or mops for the grill to keep things tidy and sane. Ribs were cooked in the oven, then transferred/finalized on the grill station. When this got too cumbersome we leased a commercial smoker for a few years.

speaking from experience though, the sanest way to keep those grates from getting insane was to wipe them down as you go with an oily onion or oily rag in some tongs. Avoid teriyaki or yogurt marinades like the plague and never leave the station "wet." get to things before they set, especially proteins.

30 hours per person per weeks seems absurdly high to me - that would be one 3 hour program every week-night, two (6 hours) on Saturday and three (9 hours) on Sunday.

I would be really keen to see what some actual values are, and the breakdown by age group.

I've recently moved into a new place and we haven't even wired up the TV arial, and even with a Netflix subscription, it's mainly for the kids shows - and even then we heavily restrict the amount of time they can watch TV.

Consumption for my wife and I now is generally Netflix if they have a show we like, or Plex for specific shows we can't get on Netflix - even then this would top out at _maybe_ a couple of hours a week.

I hear you.

On my latest Asus motherboard, an Asus Strix Gaming, choosing XMP timings with an otherwise mild overclock overvolted the 6850k in a voltage setting I wasn't even aware of (not vcore) in such a way that the CPU died over time - my last build was a 2600k, which is now son's computer (OCed, and working fine).

This happened twice. Computer shop couldn't figure it out and replaced the CPU on warranty. Not Intel's fault, yet they copped it. I should have insisted on a new motherboard as well, very frustrating.

Fortunately I somehow discovered the hyper aggressive setting not too far into my third. I know it is at least a bit degraded, but oh well...

In 3 years I'll try an AMD. ;)

It is not usually about the employer, more about your management chain.

Another interpretation is that we can achieve a moral victory even without asking more disadvantaged members of society to make a sacrifice for dubious gain.

If one believes that moral conduct ought to have a relationship with moral results, then one must also coldly ask what sort of results one truly expects from this.

That's quite interesting, as in the last 20 years that I've been dealing with Apple hardware they have typically been excessively strict with hardware spec conformance (not especially "liberal in what they will accept"). They of course had plenty of in-house stuff (adb, AUI etc) back in the pre-jobs-departure and pre-jobs-return eras, but that was often because no standard existed at all.

I wonder if something has changed or if this is an outlier, or perhaps it's just my sampling (which of course is hardly enormous) has simply entirely fallen in a pool of strictly conforming equipment. I can certainly believe the last possibility.
Perhaps this will also prompt them to start using HTTPS as well?

Elsewhere in this thread there is a discussion about Terra Preta (the local version of sustainable soil). Simple techniques like this have been used all over the world for thousands of years, from Eastern China, to the Steppes, to the cow-dung based agriculture in India.

I wonder if there is an analysis somewhere on how much land will be needed to completely move away from harsh, "chemical" based fertilizers to naturally occurring ways to replenish agricultural lands. We don't have to eat meat all the time and may be 7 billion people could be fed a decent, vegetarian, varied diet with the existing lands without the modern fertilizers?

On a side note to that point, have you tasted the difference between simple, unsalted German butters and the ones sold in NYC? Oh my god. You will never want to come to America on that basis alone. (Sorry, a bit of hyperbole there; there may be one or two other reasons to not go to the USA).

I just did this part a week ago. All I did was keep the motherboard specs open in one window, and narrow down choices based off that. Wasn’t really hard in any respect, just detail orientated.

Pick a processor, that determines the motherboard socket. The motherboard and CPU arch will determine the memory type. The wattage of the CPU and video card determines your PSU lower bounds.

The only odd thing was the addition of SSDs on a stick, but the motherboard determines the options there too.

I think it's one of those things that's super easy when everything goes right and requiring some pretty arcane tricks when they go wrong.

I just recently put together a new PC and I was getting close to done. I plugged everything in before putting the side panels on, hit the power button and...nothing. No fans, no beeps, nada.

Okay, I'll just disconnect the ATX power cable from the motherboard and short PS_ON to ground and see if the PSU fan will spin a bit...nothing again.

Hmm. Maybe the modular cable is bad? Google the pinout for Corsair's "Type 4" PSU to make sure it's what I assume it is, drop my bit of wire down the correct pins directly on the PSU, jam my multimeter probes down a 12v + ground and...hell yeah, getting 11.something volts.

Okay, bad ATX power cable, call Corsair, wait a week, problem solved. My wife was watching me do all this on the breakfast bar and kept asking "how did you know to try that?" and I really didn't have a good answer other than "been doing this or watching my dad do this since I was 8".
MyFitnessPal never had your Facebook password, so there's no way for it to be stolen by a breach.

People I've spoken to seem more comfortable acting like this is part of the current administration's agenda, rather than an encroaching trend which has been gradually getting worse year upon year. For example this specific policy was added as an "optional" (not really) question on an entry form before the 2016 presidential elections (I know, I wrote a letter protesting it during public comment period).

My point is: Both Democrats and Republics have been complicit in allowing these kind of activities to continue. And the American public would sooner blame the other "side" in this political dog and pony show, than take responsibility for this being what America's fear based society has brought.

As an aside: These questions are almost impossible for some of us to answer completely. I own entire domains of email addresses and make them up on the fly, I've also thrown away dozens of "social media" accounts in the last five years for trivial reasons.

But the incomplete answers will be very useful when they want to arbitrarily withdraw someone's visa, in the same way that medical insurance used to have intentionally complex registration forms which they could comb through to look for ways to kick people off after they got sick. So people that hold a visa better not protest, write to their representatives, or otherwise stick out or they'll just yank the visa and say bye bye.

I'll write in again during this public comment period. But frankly public comment periods just seem like a way to placate the masses, both you and they know this is coming, nothing a public comment could say will change that.
You should really check out how to do ADT's in TS. It's incredibly simple and intuituve thanks to the union and Singleton support.

type Shape = Point | Circle
interface Point {
type: "Point"
x: number
}
interface Circle {
type: "Circle"
center: number
}

let x: Shape = foo()
if(x.type == "Circle")
log(x.x) // Error

It's enterily generic and flows through the whole type system. It makes nullability trivial and `Option` superfluous, since `Option<T>` is an alias for `T | null`. If you check it for null once the type will immediately become `T` from then on.

Try something like this with Dotty's enums, it's super easy to hit the limits there.
(assuming mentoring them with the objective of becoming "engineers" rather than staying developers)

Many code pairing/reviewing strategies assume that the mentor is the one who has to teach everything on the job. Its not true, it slows everyone down and leads to "lots of talking" and less coding.

Don't by shy of making them have a follow up learning checklist. When you are pairing or reviewing, leave them links that have helped you on the past, or give them concepts that they should learn in order to more effectively do the same task. The next day, ask them if they have had a chance. Not as a way of "control", its totally fine if they don't, and its also totally fine if they have "glanced through" theoretically. If they are eager to learn, they'll be asking you more questions back, and you can fill in the gaps (or point in more directions). Its as much an effort of the mentee as the mentor.

Junior developers often just need "direction" because they don't know what they don't know. But they're quick to explore further only if pointed the way. Give them the resources they need to learn, not necessarily the learning itself and keep following up. Contrary to many opinions, juniors like having tough mentors (which is why mentor should not be a reporting figure).

Communication and social skills are a large part of development. You should also be guiding them specific to the organization context, whom to reach for what, how to communicate better in different circumstances, how to reinforce basics (writing tests), make them present something they learned, help them build visibility by attending meetups, how to make decisions on technology, how everything has tradeoffs, how to negotiate their salary, how to talk product stuff with product (biz to biz, qa to qa, executive to executives), how to escalate from personal > IM > emails > calls > meetings, habits like task tracking and learning to estimate by slowly working on complexity points and matching up with their "self velocity", how to say no to more tasks and avoiding burnout, etc.

The mentor only provides useful guidance, but in the end, the execution is up to the junior and the context of the problem they're working on. Ideally they should also not be having one mentor, but many with different styles and opinions.

Unfortunately, the same strain of thought that is pushing these measures is quite happy with us being more isolated and worse regarded. They think being isolated is manly virtue; that acting in concert with the international community is feminine weakness. Being liked implies that we give something away; being hated implies that we get what we want.

Hence cries of "globalist cucks!" and so on. Isolation is Strength.

Flight pricing works in similarly opaque fashion (I generally compare pricing between different browsers and private sessions and sometimes even devices before buying).
The reason Uber can go lower for some customers is because it's going higher for other customers through surge pricing and higher up-front pricing for regular users.

Anyway, every major city (New York, DC, Chicago) I am aware of fixes rates and makes it illegal to charge some people less. (This is a very common feature of rate regulation generally: rates must non-discriminatory and non-preferential.)

One in particular is that the rules of the universe are consistent, and can be modeled. The behavior of the model would then apply to what was being modeled.

This is the basis of nearly all scientific progress.

Other views of the universe are that everything is a special case and model results are therefore not applicable. Creationism is an example of such a viewpoint.
