Ask questions, no matter how stupid they may be. REALLY. Ask any doubts and questions you may have regarding coding practices, implementation details, technical workarounds, etc...

Even if the questions sound silly, which is what terrifies the most, just ask. At my first job, I was too afraid of asking my teammates unless I came up with some smart-sounding question.

Fast-forward a couple of years until now: I have a teammate who is quite less experienced, and revealed me he does not want to ask questions because he thinks it's a waste of time for the other person and/or he feels silly to the whole team.

I attempt to mentor him and teach him to ask questions, no matter how dumb may be. We've always been there.

This leads me to another aspect: have empathy towards your colleagues.
surprised the article didn't bring this up, but anyways, let's defuse this entire idea with a very simple thought experiment so that we'll never have to think about it again.

the tech they have measures brain activity in different regions. great. the article mentions in experienced personnel there is less activity which would indicate conscious planning and more activity which would indicate doing. or maybe it's backwards. it doesn't really matter. what it's really saying is that people who are more experienced are more efficient at performing a task on a neurological basis, which is measurable.

but the efficiency of a brain circuit at performing a task is irrespective of whether that task turns out correctly or incorrectly. you can learn how to do things incorrectly. your brain's efficiency for performing a task in a certain way increases the more you do things that way, regardless of whether the outcome is what is desired.

so, here's the thought experiment: we have one master surgeon who is known for getting great patient outcomes via consistently meticulous, premeditated, and intentional application of tradecraft, and another surgeon who is awful, having killed half of their patients. the awful surgeon is very experienced -- just as experienced as the master surgeon, in fact.

the master's perfectionism leads the master to see small flaws in each of their executions, driving them to do better next time via careful applications of past lessons. in contrast, the awful surgeon thinks they're pretty good, but that the patients they've had who died were more or less beyond helping or perhaps that another member of the surgical team did something wrong. the awful surgeon never really learns from mistakes, and spends most operations thinking about dinner rather than thinking about how to help the patient.

who does the brain scan say is more skilled?

on the basis of the science described in the article, it's the awful surgeon every time. the awful surgeon doesn't put in as much conscious effort, leaving them to rely on the incorrect patterns that they've learned and never engaged with, which is what the scan will see. in contrast, the master surgeon's attentiveness will be perceived as inefficiency and lack of skill, even if the corresponding motor regions are as efficient as the awful surgeon's.

to put it differently, this isn't a "we can do more technology and get around this" so much as a fundamental drawback of the tech itself. you'd need to introduce other data to even start to make a case for the scans as corresponding to skill, and even then there are plenty of other issues.
The difficulty is of course that, ultimately, design sensibility is subjective. However, my experience working with folks that have actually studied design or otherwise specialized in user experience have a marked improvement (as measured with A/B testing) over the designs that are developed by "easy to find front-end developers with design sensibility." YMMV.

It's nice to hear of developers that enjoy design, even greater to find ones that are legitimately good at it, but frequently dealing w/ engineers that fancy themselves good at design can be... difficult. And, I'm not a designer.
This produce used to be readily available to food banks but now that “ugly” and “imperfect” produce can turn a profit, they are less available to those in need.

So the argument is as follows: Farmers were donating food to the poor because they couldn't sell it. Imperfect Produce figured out how to sell that food, so now farmers are selling it instead of donating it. This is bad because now poor people get less food.

I don't get it. You could argue that the poor need food more than farmers need money. That same argument could be made to any business, though. Why are farmers more obligated to donate to the poor than anyone else?

That is even assuming Imperfect Foods is negatively affecting these food banks. The New Food Economy seems to think so, but Imperfect Foods disagrees.

https://help.imperfectproduce.com/hc/en-us/articles/11500456...

I don't know who to believe, but I also don't think it matters. My takeaway is that the food bank model for donating to the poor is less viable now. We'll have to find a better model moving forward.

Or maybe because women are the most extreme example? Women are not a minority - they are ~51% of the population. When most of your population is treated like a second-class minority, well, that's kind of a big crisis.

And yes, it helps that women's issues are du jour. A lot of credit goes to a lot of women for their diligence in this matter.

So Alphabet will need to add two women (currently 8 board members, 1 woman). Apple, Tesla, and Facebook will need to add 1 (7/2, 9/2 and 9/2 respectively). Uber surprisingly enough already has 3 female board members, so they’re all set. That’s all assuming that this bill sticks of course. I’m sure there’ll be some heavy opposition to it.

I’m a bit surprised Alphabet’s board is one of the more gender imbalanced right now among the giants.

I did a masters in maths with the OU. It was effectively eight months of full time work, spread over five and a half years (when I started, I was thinking about doing it in a bit under four, but once I realised how many hours just one topic was going to take me, I had to lengthen my timetable). As you surmise, difficult exercises and textbooks were the key; the occasional video was good only for mining something very specific. I watched three or four geometry videos while learning the history of geometry from Euler to Minkowski, but geometry is particularly suited to that medium.

You say you can't see how it can be done without being exceptionally dedicated; I don't know what counts as "exceptional dedication", but I feel there's a context missing here. Is it expected (not necessarily by you - but are you seeing this expectation in other people) that it's possible to learn large amounts of difficult material without putting the time and effort in?

It sounds like a buildpack identifies a common case of what someone might be doing in a container / Dockerfile, and standardizes it to remove the arbitrary variation that inevitably occurs when lots of people are independently solving exactly the same problem. For example, the patch level of the OS is directly or indirectly specified in the Dockerfile, but generally doesn’t actually matter to the application.

If your use case fits into a scenario which is handled by an existing buildpack, then the claim is that you’ll be better off using the buildpack because the infrastructure can make optimizations that can’t be made with arbitrary containers.

If your use case isn’t covered by a buildpack, then you can either (1) make a buildpack or (2) revert to raw containers.

(Although your platform may not allow (2)).
The actual law[1] says you can expand the board:

>SEC. 2. Section 301.3 is added to the Corporations Code, to read:

301.3. (a) No later than the close of the 2019 calendar year, a publicly held domestic or foreign corporation whose principal executive offices, according to the corporation’s SEC 10-K form, are located in California shall have a minimum of one female director on its board. A corporation may increase the number of directors on its board to comply with this section.

But it goes on to say:

>(b) No later than the close of the 2021 calendar year, a publicly held domestic or foreign corporation whose principal executive offices, according to the corporation’s SEC 10-K form, are located in California shall comply with the following:

>(1) If its number of directors is six or more, the corporation shall have a minimum of three female directors.

>(2) If its number of directors is five, the corporation shall have a minimum of two female directors.

>(3) If its number of directors is four or fewer, the corporation shall have a minimum of one female director.

So it appears that if you currently have, for example, five directors that are all men and they continue to be directors until 2021, you'll need to fire two of them and hire two women directors OR hire three new female directors.

That one seems arguable to me. They are probably getting their food either from larger farmers, or from wholesalers.

The rate at which most people consume food is relatively constant, and it's a fair bet that people in these services' target market are more likely than most to get a lot of produce from smaller farmers at farmer's markets.

Meaning that it kind of depends on what you mean by "helping farmers". If you narrowly mean increasing the income of some set of farmers, yeah, sure. If you implicitly mean the small family farms many of us like to romantically think of when we use phrases like "helping farmers", nah, it's probably diverting money away from family farmers and toward bigger players in the industry. If you mean diverting more money toward farmers in general, that also seems doubtful - most people have a relatively fixed grocery budget, and these services are probably just shuffling around who gets a cut of it, and naturally keeping some of it for themselves. That suggests a good chance of a net decrease in the amount of money going to farmers of any size.

There's also an angle that's not-so-tacitly baked into the sales pitch: Less food wasted translates pretty directly into less economic demand for food to be grown.

802.11ax (or WiFi 6) is going to primarily benefit you at 5 GHz, which is best where you have line-of-sight between the device and the AP. If you're looking into range extenders, you probably don't have line of sight and it's not worth it.

> allowing a tiny handful of rich philanthropists to decide

Minus the Bill Gates of the world, which we can count on our hands, the vast majority of charity is not done by a "handful of rich philanthropists" but rather, normal, everyday people that want to make a difference. If you turn this into a bureaucratic exercise, there are number of problems that become introduced that have been well pointed out in the past (bureaucracies are slower, the incentives are now not aligned, you now have a third party entity spending instead of first party, so waste is now introduced).

The other issue is public charity only works when society shares common values and beliefs. Unfortunately this just simply is not the case anymore in America and if 2016 made that obvious, it's even more apparent with the Kanavaugh hearings.

Additionally -- this is how every socialist system has started -- "just let the government do the good for you" which many disagree with on principle: why strip people their freedom to do charitable works on some presupposed better governmental solution?

Finally, people forget that the people are what constitutes the public.
What is the point of this? This is stupid.

No offense, but you are dead wrong.

Giving to charity is largely a scam for rich people to virtue-signal while profiting from tax evasion.

Your assertion that it's difficult to game the system of charitable donations for personal gain is laughable.

Your assertion that giving to charity can't be profitable is patently false when you look at the art market, AKA a huge unregulated industry that arguably exists SOLELY to avoid taxes.

The art market is unregulated. "Bad-faith" appraisals are the norm, not the exception, because museum directors collude with collectors to inflate the values of artworks donated (tax-free) to their museums, which ostensibly exist for the "public good." LMAO!

A museum is just a room full of objects that rich people have used to successfully evade taxes. The only truly impressive thing about the whole charade that is "the art market" is that the world hasn't caught on to the fact that the whole thing is just a tax-evasion scam and none of the big players involved, not artists nor gallerists nor collectors, give a shit about the actual art beyond its utility as a tax-evasion device.

The existence of the art market is a strong refutation to your claims.

Read up on the art market and then re-read your comments and let me know if you still believe the incorrect information you just wrote.

There are several different schemes for dividing the continents. There can be as few as four or as many as seven, depending on who you ask.

English-speaking cultures generally agree that there are two continents that lie entirely in the western hemisphere, North America and South America (collectively "the Americas"). In that scheme, "America" without modifier clearly refers to the USA.

Romance-language cultures generally agree that there is only one continent, America. In that scheme, calling the country "America" looks like chauvinism. But it's really just a linguistic difference.
