There's another similar problem that I'm seeing that I don't think has been pointed out before.

Recently, I've been applying for web developer positions and am coming across applications with these sorts of questions:

- What's the coolest thing you've done both in life and at work?

- What are your dreams?

- Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I certainly do have answers for these questions, but I can't tell if they're the ones that employers want to hear. And are these things for other random people to know?

There are things I've done that I think are cool, but that doesn't necessarily mean that most people will think they are cool. Honestly, there really isn't anything about my life that is conventionally cool, even by the standards of the nerdiest nerds. Should my life have been more unique and exciting by this point?

The same can basically be said of my dreams, although I do not aspire for big dreams. I haven't made enough money yet to even think about anything more grandiose than simply living comfortably. Do my dreams need to be more exciting? Should I be shooting the moon? I feel like any honest answer I give to the question will sound disappointing to any startup.

Should I see myself anywhere in particular in 10 years? Beyond making more money and taking on more responsibilities in my career, where should I be in 10 years? My field evolves so rapidly that I can't honestly predict that far ahead, let alone 5 years into the future. But maybe I'm not cut out for what I do if I can't see that far ahead?

I could very well be what's wrong in the picture, but it seems to me like we are culturally intolerant of "normal" people who have a skill and want to make a living. Everyone needs to have dreams, grand aspirations, and a little clairvoyance. I tend to have pretty high confidence, but seeing this kind of language when applying for jobs does stir up that feeling of imposterhood in me.
Yes. They even support terraform, last I checked!
exactly. If anyone has the data as to how many units a single person or persons of relation are renting its airbnb. Airbnb is clearly screwing the citizens and the city over here.
I actually prefer the amp link...
If it were a 3:1 ratio or even a bit higher there are situations where that would still be the right choice. But I’m having trouble justifying 8:1.
Can't you travel by plane without an ID domestically where you live?
I tried to address this in my parentheses, but Karabiner specifically lets you bind CapsLock to both: Esc when tapped alone, and Ctrl when held down in combination with other keys.

And your post also answers you sibling comment: Ctrl modifier is useful outside of just Emacs.

Try it out. I believe the API changed in the macOS release before Mojave, so they relaunched Karabiner under the name Karabiner Elements. This option is under the "Complex Modifications" tab.

If I was writing a list of tricks for macOS power users to try, this would be my number one. Up there with binding a global show/hide hotkey for iTerm (I use Ctrl-Space, thus CapsLock-Space).
For example the tenant has to take days off work and use them for moving (or for court hearings) instead of productive work. The government has to pay the judges, or the police for a forced eviction. Legal clinics use their scarce time. The tenant may become homeless (homelessness is often considered as an issue with strong negative externalities).

Even those are probably not 100% outside of its scope. I forget the details of chaos mode, but that kind of induced thread-switching can cause just the kind of interleaving you seem to be talking about.

What rr cannot capture is a very small subclass of race conditions involving things like cache line misses - I think that's what you're alluding to by "correct use of the memory model is paramount" but it's a subclass even of those. Yes, those are hugely difficult to diagnose and it would be fantastic if tools like rr or UndoDB could capture them. But there's a vast swathe of also very difficult race conditions that this recording tech can and does help with today.

Eh, I've always seen them more as Kryten than Marvin.
If generalize that a bit you’ve basically got geoism. An ideology that unfortunately lost steam a century ago. Would be nice with a come back though.

I support it too. Big corporations pay almost no taxes in our country; instead it is individual and small and medium entreprises that are heavily taxed. This makes it very hard to start and run a business in the long term.

I've always said that Java is the best for solving organizational problems moreso than programming problems. In fact, I think the feature that catapulted it to the forefront was probably javadoc. The reality is that there is very little difference in the effectiveness of different program languages unless you're deep into niche problem domains. Java is a perfectly good general-purpose language with a powerful toolchain.

Employers look for these degrees because in their experience this is a somewhat meaningful signal that let them filter applicants.

But having someone at work for real for a few weeks give employers a way meaningful signal than any degrees on a resume. If your employer maintains their relationship with you, you are likely worth more than the degrees you mentioned--dont overthink it!
>if 100% of the engineers are operating at say Staff Engineer level

Then you need to re-evaluate your definition of "Staff Engineer" at your company. Those titles are all relatively defined internally in the first place, just like junior/senior/staff/senior staff.

There is no industry-wide benchmark for those levels, so an internal curve is the only system that makes sense.

In the imaginary case where everyone in the company is a super high performer and everyone is equally as good, then it's not crazy to do away with those titles entirely as long as that's the case. But obviously that scenario won't last long as the company grows, and that's why titles/levels are gradually introduced.
That post briefly mentions bug fixes in the text, but doesn't actually give any examples.
I still personally like the Schulze method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schulze_method

(AKA Schwartz Sequential dropping (SSD), cloneproof Schwartz sequential dropping (CSSD), the beatpath method, beatpath winner, path voting, and path winner)

The part that is most appealing to me is how this method eliminates the least performing options first, then proceeds to better pairs.

The only modifications necessary to "fix" it are to add in a "None of the Above" / "No Confidence" slot AND to require fully filled out rank lists.

If NotA wins then the entire election is re-run with all prior candidates eliminated as possibilities.
That flag is called “Disable JavaScript”.
Interestingly I eat nothing but meat (as I seem to be allergic to everything else).
Minecraft's proportions are a bit wrong, for example Minecraft people are two blocks high, a block seems to be roughly one metre. And obviously in reality very few people are two metres tall!

Also movement speed in games is unrealistic, because it turns out moving is boring, so Minecraft's "walking" speed is much faster than you'd walk - over 4 metres per second, enough that in an hour you'd cover about 15 kilometres! It's not a _sprint_ but it's a decent Marathon time for example, and those guys aren't walking.

Together these effects can give the impression that a nice large space (say 5x5x2 metres, a pretty nice two person office) is rather cramped.

So I'd anticipate that when they see the real thing they'll be cued to find it more spacious.
That's what loteries are for :)
I don't understand the purpose of your comments here.

The author is creating a platform for one group of people to discuss their common issues. In this case, that the common feature between people in this group is gender.

Other platforms exist for discussion between people with common attributes. An example is cancer survivors. Discussion in a cancer survivor group should probably be limited to cancer survivors. Do you think that people who have not experienced cancer first or second hand would have a good reason to post their problems in that group? I can imagine the posts now - "I haven't had cancer or experienced it in any form but here's how you should deal with chemotherapy." That's probably not appropriate.
Do folks really typically do that
many practice interviews?

I didn't do any practice interviews intentionally but I did get rejected from the first two places I interviewed out of college, so the effect was the same.

If for some reason a person absolutely couldn't risk being rejected by a few places, practising some other way might be a sensible move :)

At this point HDMI is not a particularly new thing; my Marantz receiver from ~2007 had HDMI connections on it. Audio-only digital connections aren't necessarily going the way of the dodo yet, but they're becoming progressively more niche. So are home theater PCs, of course.

Anecdotally: I do have a Mac mini with my receiver, which I replaced this year. But the new receiver not only has USB input, it has wifi and built-in clients for Spotify, Tidal, Pandora, TuneIn, Roon, whatever protocol Windows uses for media sharing whose name I'm utterly blanking on right now, and a dozen or so other services, with Apple Airplay 2 theoretically coming in an update.
I went through a phase where I interviewed for fun. When there's nothing on the line and you're treating it like a TV gameshow, the innate absurdity of the whole process is laugh-out-loud funny and a generally good time to be had.
Interested in your top 3. For me it seems to be:

1. Sufficient exercise.

2. Calm, non-screen activity before (reading for 30 mins)

3. Good environment (dark, quiet/constant background noise, good temp)

4. Not moving at all when trying to fall asleep.
I got pretty good at memorising alpha bravo charlie[1] so I just jump straight into that, and for characters like #, * and ! I try and use the word I know is most common, e.g. in english "pound", "star" and "exclamation mark". "hash" and "bang" get me what I suppose are the equivalent of blank looks..

So I have nicely complex passwords generated by Keepass and the staff usually don't think anything of it once I mention I work in "computers".

With the recent walmat redesign and the constant new website features, I was under the impression that Jet had totally taken over the website(walmart.com). It's interesting to see that the opposite was the case.
Wholeheartedly agree. I ended up scrapping our company's PR document and rewrote it for my department.

Now it's more a performance review of the company and myself, and attempts to encourage my team to think about how we could improve the company. "What do you hate about your job? What do you like about your job? How could we apply some of the good points to other areas of the company?" Stuff like that.

If you're underperforming, I should already know (if I'm worthy of my position). And I definitely shouldn't be waiting a year to talk to you about it.
Some places allow them to get driver’s licenses too, but they’re still valid ID.

Edit: it occurs to me that illegal immigration is just going to confuse this issue. Legal immigrants aren’t allowed to vote either, but they can get all sorts of state issued ID. The purpose of voter ID is (or should be) to verify identity, not citizenship. That should be done separately and doesn’t need to be done on Election Day.
How is MemSQL for OLTP nowadays? Has anyone had any success consistently/scalably using it for true HTAP-ish use cases?
To comment on other answers about E=mc^2 and KE=1/2 mv^2, these are just different parts of the relativistic energy

E=mc^2 cosh(eta)

where eta is the velocity parameter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_velocity

In terms of the coordinate velocity v,

E=mc^2 cosh(atanh(v/c))=mc^2 / sqrt(1-(v/c)^2) = mc^2 (1 + 1/2 (v/c)^2 + 3/8 (v/c)^4 + ...

So mc^2 is the irreducible energy due to mass and isn't relevant at low speeds because it doesn't change; the first-order approximation of kinetic energy is just 1/2 mv^2 and higher order terms aren't significant at low speeds.

They fact that they can be conflated doesn't mean that they should.
In Australia (which has 2 chambers - 1 under this system and the other proportional):

It is very difficult for a 3rd voice to gain traction. A party which has attracted over 10% nationwide for the past 2 decades, Greens, has exactly 1 seat out of 150 under this system.

We've had this method of voting for a century but voters generally see it as a binary choice - Roughly 35-40% will vote for A and 35-40% will vote for B. Typically there will be up to 5-10 candidates on the ballot paper. So that 20-30% of the "neither of major 2" could be split 8 ways across a wide political spectrum. Inevitably, most outcomes fall back to the 2 majors.
Last paragraph: "Have iPhone sales peaked? In the short-term, maybe; in the long-term, not at all."
I think this should be implemented at the Party primary level. It's too hard to change the Constitution and all 50 states to some kind of run off system. But at the party level, I think it makes sense and would be much easier to roll out and implement.
This is why I asked. And really, that's your best case understanding or your most skeptical/negative case of the interpretation, and without allowing for any assumptions for the full context of the scenario? Honestly there isn't enough context with what the doctor said there as to what actions would be taken and under what types of circumstances - however then people like to make wild accusations/speculation based on not enough context; sure, you can get worry and emotional at the possibilities, and state those potential worries - however assuming that the doctor's ultimate intent is to sweep something under the rug and send an adequately injured worker back to work... that's less to not reasonable.
Here's the problem though; IRV doesn't really do the thing you want it to. It can actually make an extreme candidate win even when voter opinion is centered around a moderate candidate. It's very obvious in this visualization (from the site linked a few comments ago): http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/54,47_77,64_13,10_irv.png
Also, reading the study further: despite the fact that the author of the article may have been paraphrasing a statement in the abstract conclusion, the study seems to mostly undermine that premise as it shows an inverse relationship between screen time and sleep.

Iron ore has no appreciable carbon in it before it enters the blast furnace.
That’s a fairly aggressive response.

Both TF and Theano require static graph while PyTorch lets you use Python’s regular control flows (if, for, while, etc). This makes building modular model components much easier, since you can reason about execution mostly as if it’s normal numerical Python code.

I have tried running PyMC3 models on GPUs (when they were on Theano; not sure if they have transitioned since) and it is slower than CPUs, not for small models but the big, SIMD-wide ones. When I ported the same thing to Pyro/PyTorch, it was clearly making good use of the GPU, not bottlenecked by useless CPU-GPU transfers

Maybe that’s changed now, so as they say the only useful benchmark is your own code.

Former sysadmin here: conserving disk space was never a major concern. The issue is with security updates. There was one nightmare period where every single program in existence seemed to have a bundled copy of zlib, each with a slightly different version of the same gaping security vulnerability. Things like disk (and network and RAM) savings are really the icing on that cake.

It was also the case that each bit of free / open source software had its own ideas of a good user experience. The distro building all all the software allowed the application of consistent policies. As a user, this was a huge step forward.

But that said, yes, things have changed and distros need to too.
Hm, I must be mistaken then. Thanks!

I had never heard of AS but for what it's worth I think that we are all facing a host of 21st century autoimmune diseases that may be caused (in part) by our diet and environmental factors.

Although my situation in no way compares to yours, I think I may have a condition called leaky gut after a lifetime of eating legumes, nightshades and specifically proteins like gluten which are part of the lectin family (or something along those lines - I'm not a doctor). Also beer, lots of beer, which certainly didn't help. It may be exacerbated by molecules in genetically modified foods that normally don't appear in our diet, and by pesticides/herbicides like glyphosate that wreak havoc on our gut flora. These are present in large quantities in processed foods high in soy and corn, especially fast food. IMHO this is why so many young people are getting type II diabetes and obesity.

I just did a quick search for the overlap between our conditions and stumbled onto this page:

http://stopautoimmunity.com/en/2016/11/20/ankylosing-spondyl...

I highly recommend glutamine. It repairs the single-cell lining of the intestine to prevent microbes from crossing over into the body cavity. In my case I've been suffering from acne for the last couple of years (I'm 41), severe fatigue and joint pain from heavy gym sessions. I've only taken glutamine a couple of days and my acne has begun clearing up.

I'm wondering if autoimmune diseases (like arthritis) might be caused in part by our immune systems constantly fighting microbes anywhere our cells have contact with the outside world, so for example mucus membranes, our digestive tracts and our joints. Any supplement that strengthens those like glucosamine/chondroitin MIGHT have a therapeutic effect on these conditions.

Also CBD oil can work for inflammation, but you might want to wait until you're older to try it as the last thing you need at your age is dependency on a mood-altering substance. Also there has been little literature about the longterm benefits or side effects of it as it has been illegal in the US for so long. I really view it as a remedy for older folks.

If it was me, I would try holistic/lifestyle changes such as avoiding foods that cause inflammation, staying away from opioids, strengthening bone and connective tissue (see people like Mike O'Hearn's videos on YouTube), etc etc before trying an experimental treatment like stem cell therapy. Just remember that western medicine can be out of touch when it comes to complex systems and holistic effects. But, I am optimistic that great progress within these large search spaces will happen in the next 5-10 years from advances in AI and having big data to train on, if you can maintain your health until then. It sounds like you are on the right path with your diet. Best of luck to you!

I want to smash a Sony engineer with a hammer because my goddamned $5000 smart TV keeps insisting on switching from tv audio to external audio to tv audio to external audio to tv audio to external audio.

It doesn't matter that I have my audio preference set to "prefer external audio" because the effing thing decides to switch back and forth between 2 and 30 times on startup, and maybe 80% of the time it settles (properly) on the receiver, and 20% of the time it tries to use the TV speakers, which are off, and of that 20% of the time, at least half of the time I HAVE to power everything down and start all over again. The other half of the time I can go through the menu with the slow-ass on-screen menu, and manually toggle back to receiver.

I just want an effing option that says "never in hell try to use the fucking TV speakers, for the love of god".

I think we all tend to focus on building the system which is the most point of failure resistant rather than the point of failure itself. I've found performance reviews to be fantastically valuable and motivating when I have a good manager.

Rather than endless optimization of the system. Train your managers. Everything from giving good feedback to ignoring or forgetting a bias is a skill that can be learned.
