Can't be further from the truth. Not even going to read the article.

I've experienced enough disfunction from a lack of stretching to know how useful stretching is if you lift weights. Hell, just sitting down too often necessitates stretching, lest your psoas shrink from the position. It would be like limiting the range of motion of your elbow for long periods of time; eventually that bicep is going to shrink longitudinally (lengthwise).

Limitations on range of motion like this lead to situations where it's easier to hyper-extend that muscle, i.e. overstretch it in a short (split second) period of time.

To be specific, I used to deadlift frequently, but I didn't stretch later on, and eventually just the simple act of putting on socks caused me to hyper-extend my rhomboids or something back there. Put me out of commission for a bit such that even biking became impossible without excruciating pain afterwards.
With no javascript allowed, I get a large red dot in the center of my browser window.

If I turn off stylesheets, I can see that there was html text delivered to my browser, so that text should have appeared, instead of just a single red spot.
> also, is this feature of salaried employment so misunderstood as to require an analogy?

I would argue yes. Many professionals like engineers and programmers can point to contributions they made to the corporation that have been sold for many times their annual salary. How many of those professionals consider the fact that they could have sold their design for themselves and pocketed the revenue?

This is related to Coase's question: why have a firm in the first place? In modern times it seems that ongoing disaggregation of businesses and reduced transaction costs in software would cause more professionals to consider working for themselves, rather than selling their (potential, uncertain, unlimited) profits for a (certain, fixed) income.
> This union exists to grow itself and for no other reason.

This is the case for most unions in Italy, for example, where their existence is protected by law. It's a very sad state of affairs.
I would be impressed if they did so. This law is BS and circumventing it is heroic.
These companies are successful inside China but if actual free market competition was allowed in the communist country, they would have hard time competing with US counterparts imho.
Well this D-Link router shown at CES is "tri-band" (a misnomer, it should be called "tri-channel") so "11 Gbit/s" is just the sum of the maximum data rate achievable in 3 different channels (one channel in the 2.4 GHz band, plus two channels in the 5 GHz band), where each channels is as wide as possible (40 MHz at 2.4 GHz, and 160 MHz at 5 GHz), and where each channels uses 4 MIMO streams (ie. 4 antennas transmitting concurrently.) For comparison, the number I quoted in my parent post is just for 1 channel at 80 MHz with 1 MIMO stream.

D-Link can claim "11 Gbit/s" because:

- first channel at 2.4 GHz is 40 MHz wide (468 data subcarriers) where 802.11ax can operate at 286.8 Mbit/s, multiplied by 4 streams = 1147 Mbit/s

- second channel at 5 GHz is 160 MHz wide (1960 data subcarriers) where 802.11ax can operate at 1201.0 Mbit/s, multiplied by 4 streams = 4804 Mbit/s

- third channel also provides 4804 Mbit/s

1147 + 4804 + 4804 = 10755 Mbit/s which D-Link's marketing team rounds to "11 Gbit/s." It goes without saying that a typical client WiFi device (phone, laptop) will never reach 11 Gbit/s. For starters it will only use 1 of the 3 channels (4804 Mbit/s maximum) and most devices are 2×2 thus capable of 2 streams (2402 Mbit/s maximum.) Even if they are 3×3 you'd be lucky in real-world conditions to get about one and a half times or twice the bandwidth of one stream.

Good. I hope they force their competitors to pay employees better wages.
If the management gets to decide who gets raises, why wouldn't they give it to themselves. You've never seen companies do layoffs right before the end of the quarter so management can get raises, and then immediately go on a hiring spree when the new quarter starts so they can get the work done again?

Taxi companies still have to change the oil at least based on time. You can wait longer but eventually it needs to be changed, spark plugs, air filter, etc. after a very long time there is a new muffler. Teslas never need to change the oil, get a new muffler. They don't need exhaust inspections.

Actually, CORS protects both.

If CORS aimed to only protect users, there would be no need for a preflight at all. The only reason preflights exist is to protect services from receiving requests they might really not expect (e.g. malformed data) and doing bad things as a result.

In particular, the idea is to protect non-publicly-routable services. Publicly-routable ones, where you can just issue an attack request with cURL or the like, have to be hardened against malformed requests to start with.

But there are tons of non-publicly-routable things (think printers and the like behind firewalls) that could be attacked via browsers that are running behind the firewall loading web pages from outside the firewall. And CORS aims to mitigate or prevent some of those attacks.

I am already very familiar with 2 interpreted languages, but not very familiar with any compiled languages. I'm doing the exact opposite of restricting myself.

And it's not just Elasticsearch. That's just one example. I would come up against many other requirements. Here's just one more: https://nats.io/download

Edit: And you're right, Haskell is something I should probably look into more. I haven't thought about it too much since I already do a lot of functional programming in JavaScript and I don't hear too much about Haskell being great for creating API servers.

One of my other concerns is that the project I'm planning will be a long-haul, and will have several other developers join in future. I want to have a decent market to choose from. And, being in Australia, it's small enough as it is. I'll shy away from remote workers since it's relating to sensitive healthcare data.
I have a ton to say on this, but here is the tl;dr:

1. Read my other posts in this thread - does it look like I came here looking for a flamewar?

2. Calling Pakistan a "shitty country" is not a nationalistic slur, it's a reflection of the economic, educational, and political reality there. Would you ban me for saying "Pakistan has a weak economy, a poor education system, few businesses, a corrupt political system, and a history of losing wars to India."? That statement and "Pakistan is a shitty country" are equivalent. The irony is heavy here btw.

3. If you are going to go through and cite my posts - consider citing the post in the Pakistan thread where I intentionally deescalated and stepped away from a flamewar, it's kind of relevant here.

Anyway, I am going to be a good boy, don't ban me.

If only! In reality, long-living unions create such a layered bureaucratic structure that they don't represent most workers in most matters anymore (case in point: unions in Italy, since decades ago when they were protected by law.)
I genuinely wonder if the US has more violent criminals or something. Perhaps worse mental health or drug rehab services. Unfortunately it’s such a politicized issue I don’t hope to get good answers in the near term.

Electric cars break down less often, not more often, in general. They have less car fires too. Tesla has enough millions of miles that there are a number of comparisons of rates of various problems compared to the regular fleet about accidents, fires, etc. It's not magic but has generally been very encouraging.
I mean I don't know whether it was fair or not for Alex Jones to be banned, no clue. What I do know is that plenty of people who really haven't broken any rules have been told to GTFO on the basis that payment networks don't want payments for sexual content. This bugs me even as a person who hasn't been affected by it personally.

If you can afford to not work for three or four years while getting a Bachelor’s and the tens of thousands of dollars you pay in tuition you can afford to do a six month unpaid internship.

What you say is absolutely true but if unpaid internships are a problems journalism schools and other forms of credentialist gatekeeping are much worse.

If the choice existed would you rather go to Columbia Journalism School it spend two years working for the New York Post unpaid? Wouldn’t you get more and more valuable experience as a dogsbody for a fashion photographer than doing a degree in photography?

Credentialism is bad for the sane reason unpaid internships are bad but does vastly more damage to oppprtunity.
With js allowed there's a page which displays that looks browser window sized, yet if you scroll down slightly there's "";}}?>" at the bottom of the page. I was expecting more content below, so was confused a little. Also I mistook your logo on the left red column as the menu icon, and took a little time to find the actual burger menu at top right(ish).

Overall, seems like a professionally designed site, but you need to be clear on who you are trying to appeal to. Are you showing what you guys can do, or are you trying to give them information about your services/past clients?

Yes. Thank you! If only industry marketing hadn't coined the terms, we might have: cloud -> provisioned server, bare-metal -> managed server or some other less context dependent terms.
You could try quantifying the number of jobs available for different technologies. Then match up one of your existing skills with a large portion of the market (I would guess PHP + Python would be easiest because the others are either niche or have more difficult hiring processes). Settle on getting one particular type of job (e.g. Magento PHP developer), study a bit, and try practice interviews online while you apply.

Worst case scenario the companies won't like you and you'll be turned down.

It sounds like the hiring managers are getting mixed up by your resume. If you aren't already doing this, you should focus your resume for the specific job and leave out years of experience in other non-applicable technologies. It wouldn't hurt to include a few links to your open source work in the resume if you've been coding in X language for years (you could try contributing to a popular open source project too but that might be tough). There are likely resume review processes you could use that could give you advice (btw, feel free to post a link if you already have it in digital format and I'd check it out).

For getting in the door with a junior/mid level job you should try using a recruiter. They get a bad rap but their interests mostly align with yours at this point. They get paid when you land a job so they'll hound employers pretty aggressively and fight to bump up your hourly rate. Try updating your LinkedIn profile with a format tailored to the type of job you want to get and they'll probably reach out to you. Already having 2 years of development experience is good.

People have varying opinions on whether to multi-task during your job search so you could hold down a side job or do freelance work. Since you haven't been in the industry for a few years I would probably suggest just going all in on prepping. Focus on what technology you want to hone, tailor your profiles for that, practice interviewing/project building with that, and put applications out.

This article is a bit presumptuous.

I don't think I ever equated lifespan with life expectancy, I never ever thought you would just randomly die of old age at age 30 or even somehow reach old age at age 30. I merely presumed sickness and war would wipe you out and you would die of something like that than somehow superhumanly jumping into your old age as soon as you hit 30.

Just went through this calculating a few months ago.

Had a 14 year old car... 225k miles on it... a couple years ago had put in $1k or so, but the last 18 month had put in less than $500 in repairs (tires, oil changes, some other issues).

However, there was an oil leak, and some damage to front-end suspension. Oil leak had been going on for a while, but getting worse. Finding it would have meant taking the engine apart, and the front-end stuff was also expensive. Even without the engine leak, I was looking at probably $1500 to get this to pass inspection this year, and... there's no guarantee that all the fixes wouldn't have left me with something with a broken transmission that needed an overhaul or replacement. Fixing it all would probably have been north of $3k to feel good that it would be road worthy for at least another few years.

As much as a I hate change, I bit the bullet, and got a 'newer' car for $11k. 'used' but still relatively new (2016) and it's far more fuel efficient - getting around 40mpg vs the 25 I was getting before. The fuel efficiency won't totally make up for the entire diff in fixing vs replacing, but I have something that's more modern, more comfortable, gets better mileage and better safety features. The 'brand new car' comparison - yeah, but loads of people are fine getting a 'lightly used' car vs 'brand new'.

A friend went through similar decision within 10 days of my process, and he ended up getting a lightly used car (2017?) but it was $21k - I just can't bring myself to pay that type of money for a car right now. I was looking sub $10k; my wife pushed me to go a little higher.
The Mathematics of Causal Inference with Reflections on ML – Judea Pearl [video]
I'm not sure that's ever been demonstrated empirically.
Traditional automatic transmissions use a set of planetary gears. The idea is that you can spin the ring gear and planet gears and different rates, which will alter the speed of the output shaft.

Traditional automatics use a two input shafts capable of spinning these pairs at different speeds. A series of clutches select different pairs of ratios for each "gear". A four speed auto might have two ratios for the ring gear and two more for the planet gears.

The Prius transmission takes this idea, and uses electric motors to vary the speed of these gears to create a continuous change in output speed. It's brilliant because it's so obvious when you know the trick. The end result is something that seems really complex, but is arguably even more simple than a manual transmission.

It also eliminates most of the components of an automatic that are prone to wear and breaking, which is a huge boon for reliability.
TFA seemed only to touch upon static stretching and not dynamic stretching, the latter which I would recommend (conservatively) if only to gently test one's own range of motion.

I was also pretty surprised the author didn't differentiate between flexibility and mobility- the latter being pretty important in sport. Lack of mobility can be a sign of a muscle imbalance which has nothing to do with the hypothesis of muscle plasticity (the debunking of which i agree with the article on)
