> Its crazy in this day and age its considered OK to call perfectly healthy people "maladapted" because they don't conform to societies view of a normal sleep schedule.

"Maladapted" in this case literally means "poorly suited to functioning in typical jobs". Society's normal sleep schedule is exactly what makes night owls maladapted to most jobs.

Of course, you're incorrectly reading some sort of moral judgment in this classification, as you have with many other posts. You should try to be a little more impartial when discussing basic facts.

I assume they will not operate in a vacuum and weigh sources according to their track record of human rights abuses. Despite attempts in recent years by abusers to convince everyone that all sources are equally bad, human history is recorded and not all organizations and governments are egregiously as bad as others
Yes it is harder than it should be - there is a project under way to try to make this config and plugin pain go away: https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/04/06/jenkins-essentials/ (not sure if that name will stick, will maybe just be Jenkins at some point in the future). Hopefully that will help one day, and be far more efficient use of time.
Maybe. I was a night owl for 30+ years, but then had the same experience as OC when my other habits changed my sleep cycle changed too without any of the grogginess and frustration I had before when I only tried to change my sleep pattern.

Bodies are different though so no doubt our experiences may be very different.
Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence - especially not when dealing with entities and civilisations about which we not only know nothing, but about whose properties we can barely speculate.

The only thing Drake can possibly estimate is the number of civilisations similar enough to our own to be recognisable.

There's an assumption that every civilisation will pass through a stage where can recognise it - but of course there's no good reason to be confident this is true.

So in fact the L term is unknowable.

There's also the fact that not all civs will transmit, but some would be visible to better spectroscopic tools. Generally, as our technology evolves you would expect our detection skill to increase too.

This isn't included in the original equation.

Yes, as a customer, I think Amazon has been accumulating negative aspects of Ebay marketplaces faster than Ebay has been acquiring positive aspects of Amazon. That said, I have recently found myself buying some products on Ebay (w/o going thru the auction rigamarole) because they're priced better than Amazon .
It may not work for you but "organization folders" (a feature of multi branch) were designed to discover projects from bitbucket, github etc (ie a new repo appears, with a Jenkinsfile, a new project will automatically configured). Some people have had luck with them (they don't always work how you want though, but when they do, don't need to manually create the pipeline other than dropping in a Jenkinsfile in a new repo).

What a mess that spin-off showed eBay to be, too - At IPO, Paypal's market cap was nearly 150% of eBay's - Meaning that investors valued all of eBay as a 15+ Billion liability on Paypal itself. Given their complete lack of movement since, that's not a surprise.
It did come with advantages, no doubt, but - as so often - its market share is not necessarily because it tried to push the web further, a large share is simply because of Google's aggressive marketing.

To this day Google is pushing their browser if you dare to use their services with Edge.
If you side sleep, I don't think you'll run into too much trouble. To be sure, lay on your side and ask someone to check your spine is straight. Your hips should sink in a bit, but not too much.

Else, if you are a back or tummy sleeper and it's squishy, you should try to switch to something more firm.

If what I suggested is too radical, try natural latex, which is quite firm.

A good entry point to the (pretty lacking) sleep ergonomics literature is:

Yes, exactly. A jarring alarm will wake me up wherever I am in my sleep cycle, and I get the same grogginess. A light alarm gets me to wake up when my body is ready to wake.

I found off-the-shelf light alarms not bright enough, so I used a bunch of Hue lights to get it brighter:

https://github.com/wpietri/sunrise

I was surprised to discover that the more valuable part was auto-dimming the lights in the evening. I'm much more likely to go to bed on time if there's been a virtual sunset over an extended period. I miss it when I travel.
There's a difference between typing without looking and proper touch-typing. The latter optimises for hitting most keys while moving your fingers the least distance from the home row. It's pretty much how a keyboard is designed to be used. I was able to type without looking long before I taught myself to touch-type and I can confidently say that proper touch-typing was a vast improvement over my ad-hoc learned finger placement.
You didn’t see a “therapist” to get speed, downers, or penis pills. Therapists don’t prescribe medication. Psychiatrists, physicians, and other medical doctors (MDs) do.

I think it’s disingenuous to link people going to therapists in order to talk through their problems with your medication-centered problem-solving approach, or with drug-seeking behavior.
I PM an ML project for pharma for a moderate sized consultancy and we regularly use (or buy!) smaller organisations that have the products or expertise we need. Maybe approach a couple of consultancies with similar offerings in the market and work with them? They usually have the contacts you need.

This article leaves out 2 important types of providers, especially for California. These vary by state so I'm not surprised she left them out since it might not apply to her:

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT): In CA they have at least 3,000 hours of experience. Similar to LCSW except they have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and not in Social Work.

Licensed professional counselor (LPC): Same as above but in more states than CA.

Also, Psychologists and Psychiatrists do not necessarily have more experience since they can practice the day they graduate. What is important is the amount of time they have been practicing.
No doubt Bezos has a deep pool to draw from, and the folks at Blue Origin always know that their investors are aligned with their goals.

Operationally though, I think the jury is still out on how much money SpaceX can pull in there. At 22 launches per year that would be nominally $2.2 billion in revenue per year. Make three of those launches Falcon Heavy and that takes it closer to $2.5 billion. How much of that ends up on the bottom line is a good question, I'm guessing we won't know for sure until the S-1 drops.
Haha.

Many incels believe sex redistribution should be a thing. Rather than just say "Yeah, no, you guys are crazy" and then ignoring it, the author feels a better way to fight the belief in redistribution is to humor the suggestion and point out how absurd it would actually be in practice. The author is in no way suggesting that such a practice should ever be implemented.

The short answer, at the time anyways, was that you could just delete it to no consequence. It was just another program.

Some of the phones do "need" a browser as they provide it as a feature to apps, so things are a bit murkier now.

Yes, because the keys on the keyboard are offset just slightly to the left, so it's easier to hit them by curling your left hand inward, than reaching up and to the right. Nothing+ beats an angled ortholinear keyboard though.

+ Except specially-designed ergonomic keyboards of course, but if you need one you'll know.
The site appears to be just another recruiter using layoffs to gather more product to sell to companies.

I was also naturally a night owl, but that switched for me once I a) automated my lighting so there was a consistent day-night cycle in my bedroom, and b) I took up running, so that I get a fair bit of regular cardio. No idea if that will work for you, but it may be worth a try. I also dropped regular caffeine as a habit, and spent a while paying down sleep debt.

I will also use a sleep-cycle sensitive alarm on the rare occasions I need to be up unusually early, which I think helps minimize the disruptive effects of an alarm.

If you can't you can't, of course. But I definitely recommend it if you can.
Totally agree. But, remember when you do this, that the moment of advantage in working conditions vests with knowledge workers, and defending the right to a non-open plan office, against OSHA in manual labour, or the division between amazon ICT workers and amazon warehouse workers, or the google cleaners and food prep and gardeners who are on contract hire, vs the brilliant minds: that difference stands.

I believe in solidarity. If these people came back and said "where were you, when we got urine tested and shouted at for 6 minute toilet breaks" I would want to have a good story, because open-plan won't end quickly, and if you don't have the balls to go on strike it might not end at all.
Qt Creator is a fantastic editor and IDE. If you're doing cross-platform GUI development, Qt is a good choice (especially compared to something grotesque and unseemly like Electron), and for Qt development, Qt Creator is as good as it gets. But it turns out that it works really well for generic C and C++ development too, even with obscure C like the Linux kernel, thanks to the Clang code model. I use Qt Creator sometimes when working on WireGuard (in addition to the usual typical vim/cli flow).

And? Seems like a valid move (from both moral and corporate perspective) to me.
It's around 7-8 cm. I usually add a folded wool blanket on my side. This setup is very comfortable for side sleeping and back sleeping.

I also found it key to use a small buckwheat pillow.

If you side sleep, a very good alternative and cheap setup is a buckwheat mattress.

I'm quite light (~75 kg) so heavier people should probably have a few extra cm. Wool compresses a lot and requires periodic shaking to keep shape.
The major blocker full-stop. Adorno once used the V2 flying bomb as a metaphor for our society: as the marriage of total technical brilliance with utter futility and idiocy. I think it's frankly surprising that we didn't blow ourselves up in the cold war. We're extremely developed as technical thinkers, but as social thinkers, half of us vote Trump, and the other half don't have the words to express why that's awful.

If you ever get the chance to peek behind the curtain of these superstar online personas, it's refreshing to say the least.

People like to imagine that most gained popularity organically, but there's a lot of expensive marketing, gaming of algorithms and outright cheating (paying for followers/comments/reviews/likes, paying other personas to promote their own without disclosure etc).

It's a reminder that there are probably a lot of very capable, talented people out there who aren't as dedicated to making an online presence for themselves.
Don't they just call the default maps sdk, whatever implementation it is? Because if I firewall google play services and some other google stuff, but not the app that uses it, then everything will work but the map isn't displayed. It's google play services that does the map loading, not the app, it seems.
I've had a doctors office tell me that it was literally impossible for them to estimate, let alone quote me, a price for how much my visit would cost.

(My finger was infected. I needed a week of antibiotics. That was it.)
I bit the bullet and bought a "Truly Ergonomic Computer Keyboard" a few years ago, as it was the most conventional-looking split ortholinear keyboard available. It's a much nicer typing experience and causes me less finger strain, which started becoming a problem for me ~4 years ago. I would recommend strongly against that particular keyboard, since it uses inferior "kahil" brand switches that have exhibited various mechanical issues over the years (doubled presses and missed presses), but the kind of layout is definitely worth for me. The company has been extremely avoidant and unresponsive when I brought those issues up. It might have been due to a bad batch of keyswitches, so I can't recommend against kahil switches specifically, but TECK is definitely not a well-supported or well-executed product.
> Doesn't that apply to almost any software with a license?

But Android claims be FOSS. I understand that "using google servers" != "the AOSP project", but there's a large number of apps whose only publication channel is this ubiquitous play store, because the devs know that practically everyone who has Android will opt into the google kingdom as well. If it was closed source like iOS and if you can't even sideload apks (or ipas or whatever they are) then I'd not be surprised that I have to agree to some near-monopoly's TOS and privpolicy in order to get access to 99% of the published apps.

This is really a good point about going to space. People pay 20K USD to fly MIG-25 in Russia. One does not get zero g on those flights, so money covers the thrill of observing Earth at 25 km at 1750 mph.
Mostly by going to bed earlier and by having a wake-up time that normally gives me plenty of time in the morning. Also by being comfortable with biphasic sleep, where I might be up for 90 minutes in the middle of the night. (That appears to be the natural human sleep cycle; an uninterrupted 8 hours became the standard only once electric light became common.) And occasionally by taking an afternoon nap.

On the rare occasions when I have something pretty early that I absolutely have to be awake for, I'll use a sleep-cycle-sensitive alarm. I use the one in my Pebble, but there are plenty of others.
That is a great document. Really covers all kinds of stuff in just the right amount of detail.

Pedantic alert: I know it isn't you, but your wife... but MFT degrees don't "specifically on couples and family therapy." The degree is just named that because the license is named that. The programs cover individual, couples, and family therapy but since the license isn't named that the programs aren't named that.
Obviously, Chrome is not needed to do their jobs. If it was, it'd be provided. Browsers, especially Chrome, are a massive malware ingress point, it makes zero sense for end users to install them.

IT actually exists to help ensure people can do their job, and do their job faster. As a general goal, I like to learn about people's business processes for the exact purpose of seeing how our IT environment can be improved to expedite their work.

And having five browsers on a PC doesn't make it easier for end users. I have no problem dealing with five browsers, but I get a lot of complaints from people when they open link A in browser B and link C in browser D and don't understand why things don't work.

You may have experienced poor IT departments in the past, or thought you experienced poor IT departments because you didn't understand the other considerations in play, but that's hardly an excuse to assume any given IT choice is some sort of attempt to prevent employees from doing their jobs.
>In particular, Google has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks").

I'm French, and touch typing my Bépo keyboard.

I have to concur. Many programmers don't know how to type. Possibly most. Also, whenever I bring the layout up, the most common objection is that it's impossible because they could be touching computers that aren't their own, as if every programmer would be a system administrator as well…

I have yet to be forced into Azerty or Qwerty… except when playing TellTale games. Apparently they have found the One True Layout, and it is Qwerty.
It my experience, it's all about networking. I have multiple fortune 500 clients as a consultant and all of those clients came from referrals. I think your best bet is to speak with people in the private and public sector about your idea (i.e. would they be willing to pay $$ if you had a working model) and gauge interest from there. You'd be surprised how many people are willing to talk shop in a more casual setting (meetups, conferences, etc...)

If Facebook wants to be responsible for curating content on their platforms (Which they absolutely do, wrt, say, pornography, stalking, harassment, etc), then they can't shirk that responsibility, either.

"seems to do fine with 5 hours of sleep"

i'm always very skeptical about claims like that, for three reasons:

1. people who claim to work perfectly with less than 7 hours of sleep regularly are often used to it but actually slightly under-perform (in regards to their maximum efficiency) without noticing the difference.

2. there's a bit of societal pressure to sleep less; people sleeping 8-9 hours are sometimes seen as lazy. thus people sometimes falsely claim to sleep less than they actually do (or see pt. 1), which reinforces the original point.

3. a couple of very smart and/or successful people sleep very little at night because they're so productive and successful and sleep would take time away from this - what they forgot to mention are the frequent naps throughout the day.

you are right though that everyone's different. not only genetically - mental, physical and emotional exhaustion differ between jobs and hobbies. though i agree with some others here that sleeping much more than 10 hours regularly may be a sign of health problems or - nowadays more likely due to ubiquitous screens - poor sleep quality.
