By "cost of switching jobs" I mean that there's a negative cost in the long term to having a short job on your resume (especially if your previous job was also short), to not having an enthusiastic positive reference, to maybe getting a reputation as someone who doesn't want to stay at a job, etc. If I take a job paying, say, $100K, and someone is offering me $120K after six months, waiting until I've been at the job a year or two is technically costing me $10-30K over jumping right now but is probably worth more than that in the long term just to not have that six-month stint on my resume and to not burn bridges with my current employer.

After a couple of years it becomes more defensible to leave, so there are mechanisms for giving you significantly more money after several years (promotions, promotions to manager track, refresher grants, etc.) but fewer mechanisms for giving you more money in the first year or two, and basically none for within the first year, because employers know that even if your market value is theoretically higher, you can't actually take advantage of that yet.

I think that even in markets where job-hopping is high in general, any particular individual can still only job-hop so many times before it backfires on their ability to get a high salary.
I dont need to, thats a design choice i made for the moment for various reasons, one being to stay close to SQL concepts.

It seems like your DB is basically a Datalog version of what im trying to do in SQL.

> ...smartphone pictures are universally awful when given a closer look.

Which is another way of saying: smartphones tend to take pictures which are acceptable or good under a smaller set of viewing conditions than pictures taken by a skilled photographer operating an optically/electronically advantaged camera in equivalent circumstances.
I am currently working for a company trying to encourage different domains to actually have data to back up their claim that their products is fair trade, child labor free, etc. I can tell you that except a very handful of companies, nobody can back their claim that their certifications is worth anything.

Most of our projects end up being buried since it would prove that the industry have been lying for a long while.

It doesn't matter if you are trying to buy fair trade products or not, it mostly isn't.

How much food per hectare can you get out of ruminants sustainably grazing on grassland?

The table here indicates that beef yields 2.2 g/m^2 of protein, soybeans 40 g/m^2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_protein_per_unit_area_o...

Perhaps animal protein should get a quality factor bonus over vegetable protein. But even if it's twice as good as vegetable protein, that's still a much lower yield of effective-protein-per-acre. Is it enough for everyone?

If people should be eating 60 grams of animal protein per day[1], and beef yields 2.2 grams/m^2/year, that's

60 * 365 / 2.2 = 9954 m^2 per person, or almost exactly one hectare.

0.9954 ha * 7.4 billion people = 74 million km^2 of pasture land required. According to the FAO, as of 2011 the world's total land used for agriculture was 49 million km^2.

It looks like feeding everyone from beef grazing on grassland would require claiming significantly more of the planet's surface for agriculture. That makes intuitive sense too -- if grazing animals produced as much food per unit area as fertilized and irrigated plants tended with machines, farmers wouldn't have bought the fertilizers, irrigation, or machines in the first place.

Ok, someone does not like black and white images I guess. But downvoting because of colorphilia is cruel!
If the US doesn’t defend Taiwan, it will lose all credibility of mutual defense with its pacific allies.

Japan will quickly develop nuclear weapons.

That is not an outcome Washington wants.
It's reasonable to note that it's a much smaller offense in this case than with Cuba, regardless of what one may think of the merits. There's a difference between holding a grudge over acts like expropriation and revolution and trying to enforce correct speaking and writing by everyone. The latter seems hypersensitive and quixotic. It would be silly if the US cut off travel to Canada because they recognized the existence of the new government of Cuba.
You have my sympathies.

Just remember that nobody can give you your independence when China challenges it. You must take it and be prepared to pay heavy price for it.

When China forces others to choose side, most of the world looks at what is in their own national interest, not what is fair.

Even if China is not ready to invade, they can learn from Russian type frozen conflict, sanctions and blockades. Slow paced conflict is enough to collapse Taiwan's economy. Just few missiles per week against different harbors and airfield closes Taiwan for business. Declaring Taiwan's as a war zone, effectively closes commercial air and sea traffic. Few years passes and Taiwan is like Crimea, big powers are willing to sell Taiwan to China in exchange of something else.
Does this affect the research itself, or only the presentation of it?
Nobody is claiming Palau. The point is that China has effectively embargoed Palau, similar to the US embargo on Cuba following their revolution.
If you're not talking about the rewards from his government service, then it's hard to figure out what your point would be, because the vast majority of Americans do in fact have health coverage.
Pyramid Scheme (Programming Language)
It's possible until the end of the article, where they explain that it's not possible.
“Judging by how many people in this comment thread identify with the traits described in the article, it probably just shows that those traits are pretty ordinary”

Or it could point to the fact that the traits that make an effective “hacker” (tendency to exploit systems to gain power and control) happen to be the same traits that make an effective sociopath.

Broadly speaking, psychopaths exploit social systems while hackers exploit technological systems. But there’s really not much of a barrier. What hackers call “social engineering” is what manipulators and sociopaths would refer to as manipulation.

To be clear, I don’t mean to imply that all hackers are sociopaths. Or even that most of them are. It is quite possible to be an extremely effective hacker with a solid moral foundation. “With great power comes great responsibility”, etc. I’m merely trying to encourage some self-awareness in the hacking community.

It's not a stalemate. The application goes straight to the no pile unless you're a fantastically great snowflake:

There is something to be said about beauty being exclusively secondary to a place’s purpose in the US though. This is evidenced by the fact that when American cities champion creative efforts, it’s seen as special. For example, street art in Chicago is seen as something positive but different. All of America’s buildings aren’t brutalist and ugly, but clearly aren’t looking at aesthetics as a primary concern.
Great resume! We need him back!
No, you don't need something very advanced. You can take better pictures with consumer film cameras from the forties. The issue with smartphone pictures is that digital sensors cannot be made that small with good results yet; dynamic range is garbage especially if you move from base iso (which is often 32 or so) and even in optimal circumstances forcing your phone to take a correct exposure is generally very frustrating even with "manual" modes.
You are not in a strong position, unfortunately. The rest of the world broadly agrees that China and Taiwan are the same country. You don't have representation in the UN, or formal recognition from most countries.

Your biggest advantage was economic. But China's growth means you are now tiny compared to them, and you have a reduced ability to pay other countries for diplomatic recognition.

Unlike the poster you replied to, I think this is deeply unfortunate, and deplore the fact that China wishes to gradually take you over. But, the strategic outlook is bleak: your western allies share of world GDP and military power shrinks every year, and the US has turned fickle. China meanwhile outpaces your growth every year, and is getting more and more power over countries that neighbour you.

I don't think it would ever be an invasion, but rather a slow strangling, and a carrot of union offered. And it would be a long term project.
You may actually be confusing and conflating several different "disorders." Certainly it's not clear that psychopaths, sociopaths and ASPD are all just "dangerous social predators." Some would consider psychopaths and sociopaths to be polar opposites. This comment lays it out pretty well [1].

> 1. Psychopaths do not have a conscience (e.g., they do not feel guilt) and do not bond or love like most people. Sociopaths do have a conscience, albeit a weak one, so they are able to feel some degree of guilt in certain situations. However, they usually quickly deflect that guilt and place blame on others for causing to do whatever they feel guilty about. Sociopaths are capable of love but it is usually a very dysfunctional form of love/bonding.

> 2. Psychopaths tend to not take a lot things personally. They don't care if you don't like them. They are usually egotistical, though, so if you attack them personally, they will feel anger but not other forms of emotional hurt/wounding. Sociopaths will feel both and tend to take everything very personally, even stuff that isn't meant to be.

> 3. High-functioning psychopaths tend to think things through and plan their actions/steps in a logical manner without emotions coming into play. Their thinking is very organized and it is about reaching whatever goal they have. If they hurt you in the process, well, that is because you were most likely an obstacle and you got run over for being in the way, but not because it was personal. Psychopaths typically inflict pain because it's a means to an end, not because they enjoy it.

> 4. Sociopaths are basically the opposite: they tend to be very disorganized in their thinking and planning because they are much more subject to certain emotions such as vanity/narcissism, anger and jealously. If you get in their way, they will inflict pain to eliminate you, but will also likely enjoy it. Sociopaths will often seek to inflict pain because they enjoy inflicting it (psychopaths don't get that kind of rush) but will often feel mixed with their anger or violence a tinge of guilt, which their narcissism will require them to deflect as being caused by others (think of the killer who does something to their victims to show regret or respect, such as posing them in a certain manner. It doesn't mean they regret their actions, only that they regret that they were forced by someone or society to kill).

> 5. Most sociopaths end up in jail and have lower than average IQs. Most high functioning psychopaths don't and end up in jobs that require turning down one's emotional reactions, such as a trauma surgeon, butcher or CEO.

The funny thing is, the more the CPC throws tantrums to insist that Taiwan is in "China", the less legitimate it sounds.
Why is nicknaming Richard as Dick ok, but toot isn't? Seems way more offensive to me.

I hate cockroaches and yet have deployed CockroachDB in production. The insistence on being puritan seems shallow to me, considering the real problems this world is facing, but to each their own.
That's the whole point. Plant DNA tends to have large numbers of repetitions and that works out to redundancy. Think of it as 'RAID for DNA', you just might have an intact copy of short segments of remaining DNA. DNA degrades gracefully, not all at once and the 'half life' is for the whole (very long) molecule, not for individual base pairs or shorter segments. So some of it might still be recoverable, hence the question 'how much'.

See previous threads about ancient DNA.
Maybe we make a sort of 'hyper' extension that comes with all kinds of baked in behaviours, so that we don't have to implement that behaviour ourselves when we deserialise it.
But what other option did these developers have? They had to deliver something, and they had never released a production application before. So they did what any sensible person would try to do, and they learned on the job.

And yet, so many people push back on my complaints about the shallowness of the education many recent CS grads are getting. No, it's not an irrational fear of the next generation. It's an awareness that some large fraction of recent grads sporting high GPAs don't have enough basic background knowledge to know what they don't know and keep themselves out of trouble.

What would we think if companies let non-engineer/architect managers put together teams of completely mechanical engineers and architects, who then went on to build faulty bridges and machines that started to call apart? People would be calling foul. Given the societal, privacy, and financial consequences, it's way past time for the programming field to grow up!

Clean Module Injection in Ruby
Zepto is intended as a full clone; objectives are quite different from Umbrella, so I don't see an overlap here since size is not such a priority. Using plugins? Zepto. Care about size a lot? Umbrella. Flexible methods? Umbrella.

About Cash, first Umbrella is about 0.5x the size. The version 1.0 of both were released the same year (Umbrella a bit later), so back then it was not established. Then, there are these differences (opinionated ofc):

Better documentation in Umbrella. As an example, let's see the .addClass() in Cash [1] and in Umbrella [2]. Umbrella has many input examples, a lot more flexibility in the arguments (functions, comma-separated, etc), practical explained examples and related methods. This holds true for every single method.

Better testing in Umbrella. Compare Cash tests [3] with Umbrella tests [4]; Cash has 663 LOC of testing while Umbrella has 2234 LOC, a 3.3x improvement. Not only that, but Umbrella has a public testing page so you can test it in any browser you want: https://umbrellajs.com/tests

Cleaner code in Umbrella. If you want to modify any method, it will be self-contained in `src/plugins/NAME/`. In there you will find the relevant documentation displayed from the readme.md, the relevant tests and the actual code. To modify Cash's addClass you'd have to chase down the code [5], the tests [6] and the documentation [1] while in Umbrella you'd only need to go to the plugin folder [7]

More methods in Cash. This is the one I've seen that seems nicer, since it supports many more methods. Still, Umbrella's objectives is to be the minimum useful set. .insert() is enough and there's no need for .insertBefore() IMHO, but that's just different opinions. Some people prefer to have the choice, so this one is for Cash.

Extra useful methods in Umbrella. .handle() is the common pair of .on() + e.preventDefault(). .size() returns an object with the size of the element like { width: 20, height: 20, top: 10, ... }.

Better methods in Umbrella. Examples: .append(), .prepend(), etc will clone events and values (if any) from the DOM. More functions accepted as arguments.

"ps e" is usually enough to see the environment variables.
g is similar to (if not equal to) a. t would display the tty information.
The supplier would pay the intermediary (the operator of the tracking system) for the information that you can only reach one supplier. They pay to learn that the temporary localized monopoly exists.
From a higher level maybe don’t start a software company. Just because I have an idea say on how to make a better oven I should not open one until I at least have some industry experience and knowledge first. In other words if your whole business model depends on a specific set of skills then you should at least have some knowledge or expert on your team as a starting point. If you start a plumbing business you don’t just open it up with zero plumbers on staff and no experience in plumbing. But for some reason this is fairly common in software...
Doh - thanks! For some reason I was parsing "67" and "70" as a month.
No, I think we're disagreeing. Look at the link I made in my original post. By definition, hawks are ones that don't get on well with each other.
I've had several very frank salary discussions with people I work for based on mutual trust. It doesn't always happen, but it's perfectly possible.
The response to the exploding offer is incorrect.

The correct response is "No thank you."
For extra style points tack on "But it was great talking with you, I'll be sure to tell my colleagues about you."
This particular group of people pretty much never fought about anything. They practiced a very extreme version of candor which prevented tension from developing to begin with.
That's doubtful that high-assurance Haskell is in much demand actually. People usually prefer much more strict (in both senses) languages for that, CakeML in particular comes to mind.

Roughly speaking, loneliness and solitude are the negative and positive aspects of 'being alone'. So I guess 'being alone' is a much bigger topic than either loneliness or solitude or both.

Second, I'm much more interested in the topic of being alone in the internet era. And what I mean by that is that you're not being alone in the pre-technology sense, which would resemble going out into the woods and living there, or stuck on an island. Instead, you live in your home, don't have roommates, or an SO, etc. But you have access to internet!

You might think it's worse to be alone and see people on the internet hanging out and having fun. I'd say you're looking at it the wrong way. If you see people hanging out, you're in a sense hanging out with them (you're living vicariously through those people). If you watch a serious of videos of people having fun, people talking in podcasts, interviews, you had a pretty stimulating social experience. It's not physically social, but it's social nonetheless. But maybe you want interaction. Well, you can interact in online forums, chat rooms.

So, in my opinion, being (physically) alone in the internet era is a lot more self-sustaining and a doable lifestyle than being along without internet.
Thanks for posting this. I loved these videos in college physics and have been trying to remember the name of the show forever. Logged in just to upvote :)

> That's because some Mac laptops do those things and others don't (it's a combo of OS version, graphics card, chipset, model, and so on).

The same is true for Linux, which was my point.

> Having problem with a laptop sleep or getting the 3D acceleration / compositor to play properly etc,

I have absolutely no problems with sleep or 3D acceleration (e.g. Steam works fine), my hardware is very well known (ThinkPad). So I don't agree that these are examples of constant issues.

This headline is quite unfair. If Excel didn’t try to normalize data that was being input, how many more errors would there be in these and other datasets? Anyway, no automated tool is going to make the right choices in every case. The researchers and journals have a responsibility to take care to check and clean their own datasets. They blame this class of errors on Excel. But if they aren’t catching such obvious issues (like a gene name field that has a date datatype and doesn’t match any gene names) what about all the errors that aren’t Excel’s “fault” but are much more subtle?

NL is small, densely populated and wealthy. That makes it an ideal testbed for lots of stuff so you will see a relatively large number of experiments taking place here some of which are newsworthy.

It's also why we have an enormous offering of car brands and models none of which are produced domestically. It's a good market to try new stuff in.
The article does not purport to represent you or the general readership of the Washington Post.
