this happens to me.
Also I would get "phantom calls" right before my phone was about to ring. Sometimes I had leg twitches when I kept my phone in my pocket, that I thought was just a pinched nerve, but my phone would then begin to ring. I no longer store my phone in my pocket and have not had phantom calls/leg twitches. Placing my phone near a speaker I could correlate that the frequency of the twitches matched whatever frequency the phone pinged the tower. Not proof but very suspicious.

Interesting enough I have been disabling my wifi at home at night because I was challenged to see if I felt a better deeper sleep. I did, but I have not ruled out placebo effect. I want to randomize this somehow and record which days I think it is off (depending on my sleep) vs days it is on, to rule this out. I am horrified that EMF could be affecting me like this if it is true. I live in an area without other wifi, 3g, or 4g. I do not own a frequency counter, but that would help me eliminate other interference for better test results.
Who wants to privatize everything?
Generally, I think, to claim they have no valuable assets and can't pay any creditors.
You have every right to individual privacy. Once you yield it you don't have a right to make other people pretend they don't remember you.
I find presenting your experience can help a lot at local dev meetups and conferences. If you can find a venue for pitching your product, then great! But most of the time, people don't want to hear a product pitch. Instead, present ideas or work that is related with the goal of the community viewing you as an expert. Writing books or blogs can also help with this. And in your presentations, put your company's logo in the corner.

The nice thing is that presentations shine a spotlight on you, and then potential customers will come to you rather than you having to go to them. Eventually you will need to do the latter, but your first customers are likely to be people in the crowd watching your presentations or their friends. When you do start having to go find more customers, you will have a much better idea who to target as well and have at least a small network to utilize.

yeah, phoenix already has live-reloading included, I just probably hadn't setup the watchers properly or I was being dumb xD - it's pretty trivial to have everything setup to give instant feedback, though
> So please, if you're a manager, stop coding.

Not a fan of this advice at all. My best managers were also fantastic engineers that actively contributed to the project. They were better at handling escalations, better at making technical decisions, got more respect from their reports, and were fantastic for team morale.

If you have a bad manager, it's not because they're coding, or too technical, it's because they aren't good managers. Good managers also know how to motivate, delegate, support, and lead. They know when to get their hands dirty, and when to let their teams fail and learn. And most importantly, they understand engineering tradeoffs, and when to make them.

Most top tech companies have very technical managers, and even though they're not always great, I'd take a random tech manager over a random non-tech one any day.
Oh boy, can I vouch for this!

And sometimes, during outreach, we'd call customers and their spouses would pick up and say something like "My husband/wife is out of town for a week/month" but the CRM had only one button "unavailable".

They got calls like that every day or two until the customer came back home.

Also, this is getting OT, but since my country's native language isn't English, I'd call customers who were out of town, and their wives would thank me for not butchering their names. Apparently, my colleagues would mess up non-stereotypical names. Calisle would become "Carlizzle", Jose would become "Joez", "Lucian" would be "Lucky-un", etc.

In general, most off-shore support and telemarketing rigs, not the best technology out there.
I agree with you completely. The OP has a really positive impulse, but it's not going to be accepted in the same spirit in which it's offered.

Also, you just made my day with that last sentence. I've never heard that before and it's so perfect. Thanks!
We are interested in talking to all kinds of engineers - backend, front-end UI/UX experts and full stack.
Exactly my thought after reading this - they don't hate the taste of water, they hate the taste of not-sugar.
From what I've been able to find out, yes, it's pretty much the same. But you have to be aware that mineral water has potassium and magnesium, sometimes even sodium and calcium. If you're drinking it as a substitute of plain water all day you are at risk of kidney stones and kidney damage (this is from a conversation with a nephrologist, but I haven't found any research paper talking about it).

Sparkling water seems to be inoffensive. However, if you're going to add sugary flavor to it, remember that you need to add a lot of sugar to CO2-infused water to be able to taste it (that's why sodas have so much sugar but don't taste like it). Be careful with sugar and sparkling water.

It sounds like your current gig would keep you 100% busy, but if timing or life changes might allow for you to come do a tour, it sounds you've been bit by the same civic bug as us!
I wonder why now? And what is the point?

Are Safari and at least Edge planning to support WebP at all? If not, it sounds like a failed attempt as a image format for the web. Perhaps they thought implementing might put WebP on their radars?
I knew someone like this, they changed after passing multiple kidney stones.

Right.. except most of the time I don’t have a choice for internet, power, garbage, etc. So much of infrastructure and basic services are regional (for a variety of reasons) that you don’t have this infinite choice. Often even if you do have “choice,” it’s a few equally bad options. When startup cost to challenge is so high, and the switching cost means most people won’t, the idea that anyone would just break into the market falls flat. Add non-accountability, and there’s no recourse. At least with the government, they cannot legally prioritize one person over another, and there exists judicial recourse.
The original linked text is probably better for a linear algebra learner if they want to apply it (especially if they want to apply it earlier rather than later). Your linked text looks (I've read the first 5 parts) to be a good introduction but at a higher level of abstraction (category theory and abstract algebra). In fact, I think it may present a good motivating case for understanding that level of higher abstraction (while it's ostensibly about linear algebra, the ideas transfer with some adjustments to other algebras).

It could also use some polish. It's awkward to be starting a new "episode" and find that it's two pages of off-topic discussion (presenting the case for the blog, which would serve better in an introduction than in the middle of the material).
Twitter too in some ways. Publicly say something negative about the company and if they have a reasonable support team you'll be helped instantly. Tmobile is really good about this, as is Delta and Chase. Also surprisingly enough got some good support from California DMV over twitter. Who would have guessed!
The whole point of having an injection framework is that you should not have to understand the whole framework or the implementation to use it.

In this case you want a ThreeProvider and you don't care at all how it is implemented or where the value comes from.

It's good that the dependency on the ThreeProvider interface is defined in the constructor, that makes it clear that there is a required collaborator and your class cannot be constructed with an invalid state. If your injection framework is any good it can use this constructor to do the wiring. For example in Java Spring the only thing you need to do is add @Autowired to this constructor.

And on a side note: Spring does not require any XML for DI configuration since at least 10 years ago.
Or they might have a legitimate case. You can't tell just by looking at volumes.

It could be that fringe group of customers who use international credit card numbers (but also happen to spend well).

It could be elderly consumers who consistently get bitten by a rough edge in the UX.

It could be users who don't use English as their primary language and don't understand a colloquialism in the interface.

In high school my friend's Dad thought he had found a flaw in modern Physics understanding that would change everything. Physicists, he claimed, refused to see the truth because they were too loyal to Einstein. He sat me down and showed me flaws in a bunch of equations, which was duly impressive until I went to college and took Physics 101. Turns out he was ignoring things like redshift of light; when I plugged in the right equations the classical model held.

I tried to argue with my friend, but I had just proved that I was brainwashed by Big Phys. I learned that his Dad cornered anybody he could to evangelize his theories and had been doing so for years. He developed a theory that women and children were more receptive to his revolutionary ideas, so was in the process of writing a book that was more conversational in tone.

Last I heard he was still at it.
The one droplet that got hacked actually had Ghost on it.
Per volume? Not quite, but not really measurably different. The CO2 dissolved in the solution has to take up some small amount of space. Otherwise it's basically identical; our bodies interact with enough CO2 in a day that you simply aren't making a dent.

"Natural flavors" are essentially adding sugar and a couple chemicals to the water. You can think of it as being effectively the same as drinking an equivalent amount of H2O and taking a tablet that contained all of the "natural flavors". No real difference in hydration, but taking in a bunch of sugar after a workout is generally frowned upon. Go get some protein instead.
That's looking at it from a purely technical perspective. A 20% better Twitter or Facebook (from a technical perspective) is certainly comparatively easy to do, but would still have an approximate value of nil. The value of Twitter or Facebook is not technical (though running services at this scale is technically very challenging): it comes from the people using it. Building another Facebook, even with marginal improvements, is never going to be enough to make enough people switch.

So is the case for AT&T: even if you could build a network competing with the AT&T one it would still have been a largely useless endeavor, unless you could also force AT&T to be interoperable with your network.

Well, I would prefer the scanned book to preserve my notes and markings so I appreciated the scanning from original. I suspect there might be a copyright reason as well but not sure.

Equal to OP's absurd argument for less privatization.
AgensGraph looks great. Especially the ability to execute OpenCypher query or embed it in SQL. If it can be used with citus extension and sharding mechanism we can have distributed graph database which supports ACID.

Also, the official site says it's a commercial product. I wonder how many features are supported in community/opensource/free edition ?
With private companies you many times have a choice. With public organization, most times you don't.

I needed to go to the CA DMV to renew my drivers license and appointments are booked 3 months in advance and if I go to visit them, some people are waiting 3-4 hours. Because of my flexible schedule I managed to estimate and go at a less peak time and reduce it to half this time. There is certainly no accountability in the DMV either.
No it isn't, because Comcast has all the congresscritters bought and paid for, or at least enough of them to prevent anything it doesn't like from actually getting passed.

Thanks. It seems like such a waster of time and money to do this all the time. For mail, I meant physical mail (email I always unsubscribe). I just can't get rid of all this physical mail.

Question: Do people actually read all this "physical mail spam". I assume they do, otherwise companies wouldn't bother us.
They described seeing a change in position at that scale. Brightness is one thing, but detecting an angular change like that is mind boggling.

It feels like you'd have to start compensating for things like plate tectonics and daily variation in the earths rotation due to melting glaciers to get that kind of accuracy.
Far more than that. It would be about half as bad as literally sleeping inside a microwave oven at full blast. The rats were kept in a shielded room so the microwaves bounce around until they are absorbed. It's no wonder they got cancer.
Once you get a real person, the word "chargeback" also can sometimes get them onto a different track.
This is the opposite of my experience in my preferred bodega in mid town. I as well as a few other people were there every morning. When the owner saw me, he knew to put in my order. If the line was long, I would grab a redbull drop my bag off at the office, come back down and my breakfast would be ready, and I would pay.

My order was usually put in after everyone else's was, because he knew I would wait for it. And I was perfectly fine with that.

Unless you live in the EU apparently. Not that I think it's right.
How big are your teams? This probably makes sense for a larger team where the person is less technical and more people focused. In most small companies, this would not cut it.

I worked with another team (6 people, 1 manager.) Their manager did NOT code and he was not well respected at all. It caused a ton of morale problems, complaints, etc.
Goodhart's Law was originally proposed to explain metrics in economic policy context. Can you explain how you use this law in startup context?
I believe you added an extra "/kg" on emission.
No 62% is too high for that. But knowing how many are transitional helps put that number in context.
> Damn right you don't let random people drive your car! just like I expect you not to click every link you see!

The difference is that I can interact with any number of people, yet only trust a few to drive my car.

You seem to suggest that I should trust everyone I interact with to drive my car, and since that's risky, I should limit my interactions to a few people.

> You're shifting the responsibility from yourself to a different entity for the choices you're making.

Not trusting a site's code is taking responsibility for what it might do to me. Trusting their code is giving them the responsibility to do what's right.

> The single safest thing you can do while using the web is to simply be aware of what you're clicking on, and what sites you visit.

This is good, practical advice for non-tech people. But fundamentally there is no reason the web needs to be unsafe. Viewing a series of hypertext documents is safe, no matter who wrote them. The web is totally safe if you browse it using curl. It's only when we assume that "of course you're going to run that stranger's code" that things become dangerous.

It's great that we can have web applications. It's not great if every page is an application. There should be an explicit step from "I'm casually looking at your page" to "now I want to trust you and run your code".

> That said, modern browsers do a really, really good job at isolating the code running in that page from anything you care about.

That code can't wipe my hard drive, but it can track me everywhere if I let it.

The reason we need content security policies and cross-site request forgery tokens and cross-site scripting protection etc, etc is that our browsers are constantly eval'ing whatever code they're given.
I can have an educated guess from just a brief glance -- especially if the other person doesn't actively tries to mislead me on such an important issue.

Once you have decided to write your desktop app in JavaScript/HTML/CSS it's probably the least bad option.
thanks for sharing your QA. Just wanted to let you know that your profile looks amazing and wish you good luck on your job search.
Yeah for sure, and with that, they tend to regulate their own service at the point of contact. Often all you need in that situation is that both of you look at something that is a little of and a furrowed eyebrow and they'll take care of it for you. Or, an 'This doesn't seem right' If you have to throw your weight around you're not a regular.
I have an uncle-in-law (is that a thing?) that exclusively drinks coffee and Diet Coke. I thought he was joking until we went on a 10 day family vacation, and I never once him drink anything else. Does not compute indeed.
Hey! I'd love to apply for the Jr Back-End Engineer position for the Toronto office, but the only posting I see on the website is for an Intern, or a Senior Engineer. How do I apply ?

Seems like a good startup opportunity. Break your bad habits by forcing a small bluetooth-enabled stone through your urethra.
Zero article could work. Future as a non-measurable substance, like water. Future as something that does not need a specification with a "the", like captain on a ship.
> Here's a good article on the subject:

How so? The article rants about the 78% claim, without addressing that (a) even correcting for the concerns they state a pay gap exists, and (b) those "choices" men and women make aren't always free choices (witness who takes parental leave in the US vs in more egalitarian countries.

> men may have higher ability or be better negotiators? I don't see a gender pay gap here.

I fail to see how not knowing the source of a gap disproves the gap.

And men having more frequent and successful negotiations is a pretty tested topic itself. When perceived aggression garners one gender respect and another disdain, it's an inevitable result.
I don't see what the big deal is? Unless your contract with a another group of individuals says that group will serve you within X amount of time when calling with a problem, you're SOL.

Lots of talk on here about government and rights and other stuff when it's just that you're paying for a service, and you're either served or you're not. Take your money elsewhere. Oh, they're a monopoly? Think of how to improve and disrupt. I'm sure there used to be horsedrawn carriage monopolies also.
I don't understand this at all.

Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has told staff he supports their right to take the action.

"I understand the anger and disappointment that many of you feel," he said in an all-staff email. "I feel it as well, and I am fully committed to making progress on an issue that has persisted for far too long in our society… and, yes, here at Google, too."

If someone at the top is sincerely interested in resolving this satisfactorily, why the walk-out? I don't get it.

Are they saying they don't really believe him?
Great, so now it's magic and no one knows how it works.

The last time I had to work on Java (more than ten years ago) it was easier to load the app into the debugger than to understand the source code.

That's f'd up.
I think they would be obligated to auction off the patents to the highest bidder.
