The article reminds me of Van Halen's M&M contract rider, though the Orange Juice Test in somewhat more fickle and hostile.

From Wikipedia:

> The band's demands were not limited to technical issues; their now-infamous rider specified that a bowl of M&M's, with all of the brown M&M's removed, was to be placed in their dressing room. According to David Lee Roth, this was listed in the technical portion of the contract not because the band wanted to make capricious demands of the venue, but rather as a test of whether or not the contract had actually been thoroughly read and honored, as it contained other requirements involving legitimate safety concerns. If the bowl was present, then the band members could safely assume the other, legitimate, items in the technical rider were being fulfilled to their satisfaction. Conversely, if the bowl was missing, or brown M&M's were present, then the band members would be within their rights to have the venue inspect the work, ask that it be redone, etc. Their concern for safety was real: during their earlier tours, not only had equipment been damaged, but several members of their road crew were nearly electrocuted, both due to inadequate safety measures and preparation on the part of the local venue. [1]

The big difference here is that the band were using the rider as a canary-in-a-coal-mine for real safety concerns and to see if the venue staff had read the fine print. The Orange Juice test serves a similar purpose, but it is more like many of the obnoxious 'gotcha' tech interview questions in which the interviewer has a you've-heard-this-one-before-or-you-haven't trick answer (that the interviewer almost definitely read somewhere and didn't figure out).

Different people (and especially different cultures, even within a country) do business in different ways. Expecting the contractor to act in a way you personally expect a good contractor would act isn't a reliable way to identify good contractors. It might be a good way to avoid false positives... But it probably creates lots of false negatives, which is wasteful and expensive in its own way over time.

I don't know if there's a better metric or test, but there's got to be a better one than early morning orange juice....

Cultural psychology is the field that investigates this. By investigating phenomenon in multiple cultures, you get a better idea of what the actual phenomenon you are investigating is, and what is a byproduct of culture. It's not a perfect, obviously, since we are all as much a product of our culture as anything else.

In any case, just because we the tools we have are still in their infancy, that doesn't somehow implies that A) they are utterly useless for anything at all, or B) that every culture everywhere is a perfect realization of a human conception of life, each one exactly equal of any other and none of them at all with any growing up to do.

It's just silly all around.
I understand this as 3 categories of deployment size:

- you've got 1 server you visit rarely so don't care about the server shell

- you've got <10 servers you care about and try to replicate your shell config (because you use it daily)

- you've got >10 servers and you almost never log into them because the logs, metrics and deployment are exported to a centralised system... so you don't care about the server shell

> People think that opioids are an effective treatment for long term pain. They aren't

I don't think it's helpful to make a blanket statement like that. There is no one size fits all where pain and analgesics are concerned, and genetics play a large role in what works and what you can even tolerate due to side effects. Opioids of course should not be the first choice, but they should be an option.

I've been living with chronic pain for years now, and have been maintaining the same opioid dose - they bring their own issues, but they make a huge difference to my quality of life. Anecdotally, through support groups, I know several others in the same situation.

There is something of mini war on opioids going on here in the UK, spurred by what's happening in the US and stoked by hate rags like the Daily Mail. People who successfully manage long-term pain using opioids should not be shamed and treated like drug addicts.

> Zirtual failed because people value a larger paycheck but no benefits over a pay package with benefits but a smaller cash component, even when the package costs the company more to provide and (at least on paper) has more value.

One thing that's not mentioned about the gig economy is that contractors on 1099 don't have taxes withheld from their paychecks, so they get the temporary impression that they're getting paid more than their actual post tax amount. They're usually in for an unpleasant surprise when taxes are due.
The downvotes on HN are really out of control, it's acceptable to "downvote if you disagree"; I guess I can accept that as a social convention - but not if the platform is configured to physically hide, flag and censor downvoted comments.

The two features make for a toxic combo: instead of simply enforcing "civil" conversation, downvotes are used as a political tool to strongly dissuade contrarian views, even when such views are expressed in high effort, well argued posts.

Some sacred cows of the community are criticizing US international position or criticizing YC companies. Other-times, the political slant depends on the type of crowd the headline will attract: in a topic against GDPR, self driving cars or global warming you are guaranteed to attract downvotes when supporting these issues, with the opposite true in the converse threads.

Yes to whiteboards if they're used correctly.

If the candidate can't explain or solve something simply on a whiteboard, they probably don't understand the problem or domain.

That's not to say that the interviewer might not be a great interviewer in the first place though.

Quote: "Feynman was a truly great teacher. He prided himself on being able to devise ways to explain even the most profound ideas to beginning students. Once, I said to him, “Dick, explain to me, so that I can understand it, why spin one-half particles obey Fermi-Dirac statistics.” Sizing up his audience perfectly, Feynman said, “I’ll prepare a freshman lecture on it.” But he came back a few days later to say, “I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t reduce it to the freshman level. That means we don’t really understand it.”"

> There are very few legitimate use cases for large bash scripts, in my opinion, and frameworks only make that harder to see. Javascript also started scoped small, but it was everywhere, and look at it now...

Maybe the meaning of "large" depends on familiarity, but somehow, a big part of UNIX/Linux is a pile of large bash scripts...
Regarding the citation, it is just a matter of reading how the core devs reply to potential security issues. Sure, it has gotten better, but it is not too far from the good old https://github.com/irungentoo/toxcore/issues/121

The fact is we mostly know what kind of attacks are possible on signal. We know metadata is a potential problem. We know what kind of tradeoffs we get with a centralised architecture. We know how that works and how to mitigate some things. Openwhispersystems have been clear about what Signal provides and what it does not provide (even the wording around disappearing messages is well chosen not to confuse people ).

With tox there is a lot we don't know. Are the supernodes an attack vector? Why aren't the devs clear about using a less distributed architecture for mobile clients? Why don't they provide proper forward secrecy yet they claim to do so? There might be lots of strange properties of doing crypto distributed.

I would not recommend it for secure communication until the amount of unknowns is smaller. It is really that simple.
> opiate-related deaths account for .02% of the population.

This statement is potentially misleading, since it leaves out the "per year" part. To compare it to the number of chronic pain sufferers, as you've done, you'd need to add up all the deaths of people who would otherwise still be alive.

Even just using the wild approximation of adding up the deaths in Table 27 of what you've linked (interpolating the missing 8 years with the lowest number), brings the percentage above 0.17% or almost 1 in 500.

One of the reasons for alarm is that the fatality rate has been increasing (and may even be accelerating), having more than tripled since 1999. Compare that to vehicle deaths, which have been on a downard trend, even per population.
Thank you, I suspected it was React (I later saw somewhere you will add support for custom React components). Looks like good work man, best of luck to you!
Do the people conducting these studies really think that getting doctors to prescribe less opiates to existing patients and having patients resort to the black market where heroin is often cut with fentanyl, carfentanyl, or other much deadly opiates is really a good idea? Somehow reduced prescriptions are equated with positive outcomes without any proof. I guess the thinking must be that if the patient overdoses off of street opiates it's somehow not as big of a deal as if they overdose off prescribed opiates. At least these doctors won't feel so bad about patients they are directly killing by cutting them off their prescriptions. From experience, most doctors don't even care about or can even fathom the consequences of taking someone dependent on opiates (as well as other drugs that must be tapered like benzodiazepines) so them stopping prescriptions without properly tapering patients off is no big deal while the patients literally scramble to save their lives by getting the drugs from the black market. But hey, the numbers look good and sound good to a society that thinks war should be waged on addicts and that they are better off dead than in recovery. That certainly explains our ridiculous regulations as regards to methadone, an extremely effective treatment for opiate addiction, when used to treat addiction (must be taken in liquid form from a clinic each day etc. etc) vs. when taken for pain. It's almost like these laws were written by people who want addicts to die rather than recover. They are. Doctors who stop prescriptions without offering the patient a chance to recover are essentially sentencing the patient to a possible death penalty either because the patient goes to the black market or because they can't and go through withdrawl which can indeed kill both directly and through suicide. They should really try to remember the Hippocratic oath they are violating and think about the patients they are directly trying to kill in the name of prescription reduction and useless, dumb government statistics.
Colour me highly in accurate!

I sit not just corrected, but fairly shocked.
Yes, that is essentially what a PPA sets out. There are several structures that can be deployed, but fundamentally its fixing the future revenue streams of the asset. The buyer of the PPA wins, as they get a fixed cost. The seller wins, their revenues are fixed and known, and they can get more leverage from debt finance because of this - thus, they get a better return on their equity investment.
As evidenced by the fact that the most successful modern socialist states are in Europe, I believe this is the case. Those who could make their social welfare programs coexist with aggressive Western attitudes have thrived.
Indeed, clearly we need to develop a better understanding of the causes of chronic pain and how to treat them directly rather than managing symptoms.

My primary concern is maintaining or improving quality of life without impacting the length too negatively. It's difficult to justify saying "sorry, that thing you were taking to make your life bearable makes my colleagues think I'm no better than drug dealer so, uh, you can't have it any more, here's a pamphlet on mindfulness" - if anything it should be buying time for us to find real solutions instead of symptomatic treatment.

And that's all opioids really do for those that take it - buy time. If we're going to reduce opioid use we need to treat it as we're treating antibiotics and make sure we're carefully watching outcomes to make sure we're not dropping opioids but raising suicide rates.

We owe it to patients to solve their problems and not just treat their symptoms when it's clear they won't heal on their own.

Not a GP either.
Thanks! We’ve found it difficult to describe exactly the tools that people build in Retool, and “internal tools” is the best phrase we’ve found.

We’ve considered “business apps” (vague), “operations tools” (unclear), or “CRUD tools” (sounds unimpressive). What do you think?

You are correct. It says Hydrophone-Acetomaminophen 5-325MG Tab Mall.

But there is a line break. after "5-" so since I am not a doctor I think my interpretation is a reasonable one.

Repeat after me. Addiction is not dependence. Dependence is not addiction. When I read "dependence is expected", I will not interpret it as "addiction is expected", and I will ESPECIALLY not immediately assume tolerance, drug seeking, preoccupation, or harming oneself just because of dependence.
I found this article hard to follow. I feel like there's a deliberate coyness and "buildup" but it's way too playful for what it is and all but guarantees the "payoff" ends up falling short of expectations, which it does. The playfulness is distracting.

The supposed payoff is semantical nonsense, where the manager who agrees to deliver on the request doesn't explicitly specify that the cost would go up. But that's only because it's related as a summary, and in a real conversation, costs would be discussed.
To be a "standard library", it would have to be shipped with bash itself. It is not.
Ahh interesting.

Would love to see a comparison between gtk4 widgets vs. qtquickcontrols 2.0.

From the looks of it, gtk 4 seems to have come a long way since I last tried:

And more importantly, there seem to be fewer breaking changes for applications to leverage these improvements:

I think in images, and always visualize the problem, so I would love doing it on a white-board, I actually find it easier then writing the code itself, and I find it very hard to describe the problem in words. While others think in code, and yet other people think in words. So in order to not dismiss a good candidate, explore how they think about problems. Can they describe it with words ? Can they describe it with code ? Or maybe they can only describe it in pictures !? There are also other ways of thinking. Some people think in shapes, then solves the problem like a puzzle making the shapes fit together. These guys/girls might be on savant level and would have a very hard time passing any traditional interview.
Would it be possible, that the order of actions was actually different? The thief first pushed thin tools through the door gasketing and actually cut the wires from the outside. Not sure how well and how successfully, but i actually presume that this wasn't as good cut as they tried to achieve. Then, they tried to break the window and continue with the theft, but the system reported them too fast anyways...?
I'm currently using the AndroidAPS and it works great. Roche has said the warranty is off if you use the Combo pump for looping, but the maker of the other supported pumps DanaR and DanaRS said that looping is OK.

Right now I'd recommend getting the newer DanaRS and a Dexcom G6 for the best possible support.
If your code review makes the coder feel personally attacked or embarrassed, you're not doing something right. Code reviews are meant for 2 (or more) way communications and discussions in order to hold quality of the code up to a standard, not a opportunity for the reviewer to feel superior and attack others. Commenting things like "this line is poorly written" is not helpful to anyone, instead try "do you x would be a better solution? because <insert reason>".

I'm sorry but if you're a functioning adult working in a professional environment, you should expect to receive critiques and feedback on your work. If someone is so sensitive that they cannot accept constructive criticism on their work, I don't know how they're ever going to learn or improve.

It wasn't crazy but if you go by the Ken Burns documentary series it was also wrong. America abandoned its principles to support French colonialism, ironically for fear that France would otherwise ally with the Soviets and thus pushed the Viet Minh firmly into the communist camp. The Viet Minh were Vietnamese nationalists first and foremost and showed no appetite for exporting communism post the Vietnam war.

Good points. Your last paragraph really shows how easy it would be / is which makes me wonder why is the Russia story such a big deal? There very well could have been similar attacks pulled off in the past with no one noticing (or it being legal all together)

> For example, the fact that an array of unions such as Array{Union{Missing,T}} is represented in memory as a much more efficient union of arrays is a perfect example of where a clever compiler can make the logical thing to do also the efficient thing to do!

Can you elaborate on how Julia represents arrays of unions, or point to some documentation? I'm working on something where an automatic efficient representation would be useful, and I'd like to learn from other's experience.
Leds often dim faster when young. Something else will most likely fail before the leds are too dim. On the other hand flickering can be more obvious if you lower brightness of a led. Brightness is usually emulated by turning the led on and off very fast.
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond has its fair share of critics, but one thing I feel it does well is introduce to the general populace the ways of thinking around questions like this. In the case of migration, one of the factors that slowed it down so much is the lack of properly 'domestic' peoples that actually had a population surplus. If you're a hunter-gatherer tribe that has reached an equilibrium between children born and people dying, and your hunting grounds provide the resources you need to sustain that equilibrium, there is little reason to go looking elsewhere (migrate).
Wow, thanks a lot. Just tried it out and I'm loving it so far. I really appreciate the default reversion in case the slider is set too low, as well as the non-linear percentage slider allowing for fine-grained control at lower brightness values.
Makes a lot of sense, actually its really difficult to get a large enough dataset for moderation tasks to make a decent inhouse model for a fair enough comparison.

Sure, we can try scraping that from pornhub etc but fee then the negative classes would be very domain specific, using stock images may not provide a good measure.

Also, its really weird to assign such a task to any of your employees, feels kinda strange :)

Shouldn't the URSS be responsible for the creation of the Taliban? Al-Qaeda was financed by Saudi Arabia and the current Iranina regime is the result of a revolution against the American-supported previous regime. Still the US made all those problems worse, but can't hold the full blame for their creation.
In my experience, drilling doesn't lead to an understanding and rather to simply repeating the exercise from memory.

A true understanding of the matter will get you farther than being able to recite past exercises, especially once you write an exam where the numbers and exercises have changed a lot so they will require understanding.
I always do horribly on these. I also don't have a degree in computer science so although I can setup a binary search tree, etc. well enough if work demands it I don't have the muscle memory of working with them intensively over and over again to spin out solutions to interview questions.

Once in the workplace however I usually get promoted up pretty quickly. I'm pretty handy with generics and meta programming along with architecture and design patterns, meaning I can turn out more complex systems in much less time than most of my coworkers. But that crap never comes up in the google/microsoft interviews of the world.
