I feel like restaurant culture could change to be more efficient. Some observations from visiting Asia or eating out in general:

In Korea, there is a button on every table you can press to get the attention of waitstaff. No more inefficient hoping to catch eye contact when they walk by.

A lot of places now make you walk up to a register and pay as you leave. No more having the waitstaff make 2-3 trips to your table just so you can sign.

Having iPads or something for ordering is another step, but may take longer to recoup those initial investments.

Focus only on a few speciality dishes, rather than offering 200 items.

Edit: there’s also the automat, which was in fashion in the early 1900s in America, I believe. There was the Eatsa chain but it folded, apparently due to “expanding too fast.”

The government lowers taxes all the time. The last three presidents for instance.
> - You said you are unable to show off your work. But how about showing block diagrams, technical summaries etc. (without violating NDA etc.)? Some clients prefer this to looking at code or an application.

Sometimes a past client will approve a snippet of your work. Choose something that clearly is out of date but representative of the project; put it into a suitable format and ask for permission. For instance, I have a short segment of an analyst report (in PDF) that I wrote back in 2004; it shows that I can write that sort of stuff, but the data is so stale that nobody would worry about it sharing proprietary information.
Stern looks is probably exaggerated, but I unusual sandwiches or toppings are likely to draw a comment or two.

However, this is mostly in the context of being a conversation starter, though - at least in my experience.

"Roast beef, huh? Celebrate something this weekend, did you?"

I do think the Norwegian interviewed is exaggerating a bit for effect, though - several of his statement are not what I - being Norwegian - would consider normal or expected by your coworkers.

As an irrelevant aside, the town in the illustration is Ålesund. I can see my old house in the photo!
i think the trick is not worrying about if its impossible. Trick is just to enjoy working on the problem and not worry about the result because you are young and think you are immortal. once you have to guess on the total project cost and opportunity cost, you have lost already. Its permission to fail that you need.
Python uses cycle breaking i.e. it chooses an object on a circular path and simply deletes it, which essentially bricks the entire connected set for reference counting purposes. This means that if you ran __del__ code in this circumstance it could access references to deleted objects, i.e. use after free.

__del__ is simply an unsound part of Python.
Currently, I started my very first project using NestJS and it's great. TypeScript support is top notch. DI is amazing.

There's is already a lot third party plugins and resources https://github.com/juliandavidmr/awesome-nestjs
It was almost life-changing when I figured out how to do that on both my work Macbook and my home Linux machine. As another evil mode user I second what you said
Lets start with variety-pricing that EU gets and get it into NOR food stores, then we will talk rest.
I find that, at least for walking extended distances over unfamiliar territory (I can't drive), having the map is very useful. Not directions, not routing, but at least a map so that I know where point A and point B are, and I can see the possible routes between them. It also helps when mass transit stops are on the map. Digital mapping is a great boon to my travel, because it's so much easier to look at and carry a 9 inch tablet than to have to haul paper maps. If I didn't have clear digital mapping available on my devices, I probably wouldn't go anywhere new because it'd make me a target for either crime or scams. Now, as far as routing... I like looking up directions before I go so that I have a rough idea of where I should go. But I don't use GPS-backed directions en route most of the time.
I'm one of the sorta-fortunate (I guess) ones who almost never got any pleasure out of cigarettes. Something about my physical composition doesn't jibe well with them. A handful of times when the air was super humid, I was intoxicated in some way and/or my body was in a certain equilibrium, I experienced the enjoyment, but the rest of the time (~95%) they made me feel worse. I was still stupid enough to keep doing it for social reasons way longer than I should have.

My small experiments with cannabis have made me wonder how tobacco possibly could have ever become more popular, the former's effects are much more noticeable with a vastly smaller amount of smoke and can be quite pleasant.
> with Postgres we also had to deal with schemas and migrations.

Schemata are good things. Migrations are the database insisting on tedious bureaucratic nonsense like "don't blow your foot off" and "don't regret this later".

> Technically you could also use JDBC in a reactive manner, but it looks unlikely to work with the frameworks we use with Postgres.

The Spring team are pretty keen on removing that gap: http://r2dbc.io/

Yeah the idea is skip names as the foundation altogether. Instead characterize the spaces by their properties and symmetries, and when there's an exact number of things (like bones) use a GUI (body diagram, decision tree) to air recall so people can just learn the names on the job.
BTW, you can have 23andMe delete your data, including the genetic data they have stored. I did this a couple of years back and it was fairly straightforward. Sounds like it is even more so now:

https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/212170688...

Also, at the time you could download an export of your genetic data and that is probably still the case.
> This is one of those; if you gotta ask then it is a bad idea.

No it's not. For example, I have an ongoing collaborative relationship with a coder I originally hired on Toptal, paying them a commission for the first year of working together per their TOS.

This guy has a whole portfolio of clients he met the same way. I've sent work his way from others who needed a dev with his skills.

Freelancing platforms work great as business development tools so you can start building a client franchise that, depending on the TOS involved, will no longer need the middleman after one year.

The idea that a network of professional contacts is highly important to building a career as a freelancer is true; the fact that consulting platforms can help you build that network is also true.
Part of your argument is that a Presidential candidate receiving ~48% rather than ~46% of the popular votes cast (~29% vs 28% of eligible voters overall) indicates that there is "consensus" on three isolated elements of disagreement between the candidates/parties?

That fails to match substantially any of the definition of consensus, IMO: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/consensus

To me "consensus" requires something more like 90+% agreement if there are possibly valid arguments for the opposition. There's consensus that we stop at red lights. There's consensus that we wear coats outside on cold winter days. There's consensus that regularly smoking tobacco is harmful. There's consensus that the Earth is not flat.

IMO, there are strong arguments for a lot of things I believe in, but I don't assume/presume consensus on them and would not introduce a 48-46 or 29-28 finding as evidence of consensus.
Agree, bomber man was a super fun game. My wife and I loved playing it together on the ports we got for our Wii back in the day.
In my country it actually is. When I tell people to clean up after themselves they say "I just paid the government to do so".

One day I will purchase a fleet of Boston Dynamics' SpotMini and the thing will bark loudly and follow the person until they take it and throw it into an ashtray. Public shaming must work, if not, what else could?
Do you know what you don't know though? People can freely find info on politically taboo topics if they want in the west.

Whereas, do you know about the famine in the great leap forward? And it is widely known?

I was talking to one chinese student who maintained that there was no censorship in china. She was surprised to learn that I, a foreigner, could not make a wechat account for my business. And she is well educated, has travelled abroad, etc
Grabbing a dish of leftovers from the fridge that needs to be re-heated and then cleaning the dish seems like it will rob 10-20% of the limited time.

Would colleagues be offended in any way if your dish was particularly aromatic once reheated?
I am very sorry to tell you that most Chinese do not know that they are brainwashed. The party or state controlled media and capital are managing peoples life. They are playing gods.
Any news which is not good for the state should be deleted. Or, instead, they could create news to attract attentions. This is called “media guide”.
After that, most people will forget the important news, no matter how it is essential to their life.

For example, Tianjin Explosion and the vaccine scandal.

The state is managing people just like feeding pigs. They enjoy playing gods in such way.

This is really 1984, AI-powered 1984. The free world should be warned about this.
Probably the sheer amount of time and effort legal campaign has consumed. No government agency has infinite money and staff.

Apple’s iPhone Warning Comes Years Too Late
"Rolling coal" is deliberately tuning a diesel engine (by increasing the amount of fuel in relation to air) to make it emit large amount of sooty smoke on acceleration. Any particulate filters and other emissions equipments is usually also removed. It's a well-known term among car enthusiasts, I didn't consider that it probably isn't as well-known among people who are not car enthusiasts :-)

The intention is to "stick it to the environmentalists", by deliberately and visually polluting as much as possible, and by blowing this sooty smoke right at perceived environmentalists, ie. people on bicycles or in hybrid cars.

In other words, trying to be as much of an asshole as possible.

for what its worth: i'm the target audience (devops engineer) and understood it within moments of opening your landing page...

And after looking at the gif, i resolved myself to take a look in a few weeks for a personal project.

I'm however missing an excerpt about the developer/-s of this project.

Who is building it and why? how likely is development to be abandoned? is there paid support available or planned in the short term?

from what i could tell from the contributors its pretty much a solo endeavour from you, with some help from @skarlso in June/July. Are you planning to create a GmbH and sell this as a product, or is this just a personal project you're doing on the side?
It's not about taxes at all. The government has no financial limits, particularly where political damage could be done. A defendant, unless exceptionally wealthy, does. Dr. Ibrahim had to put up almost $4 million just to get back to square one. Do you have that kind of money lying around? If not, what would have happened to you in Dr. Ibrahims shoes?
I'm not saying MongoDB is better because it is old, and I was rather hoping you would elaborate. For all I know, you could have had issues with it yesterday or 9 years ago.
Doesn't seem to support sqlite3 dot commands such as .mode/.separator/.import/.output/.headers... (these are really implemented in sqlite3 CLI and not part of the sqlite library). These are, at least for me, among the main reasons to use the CLI in conjunction with SQLite. (The SQLite CLI is very good for massaging CSV data into the correct shape; as far as I know there is no canonical file extension for CLI scripts, I use .sqs, and the CLI has no parameter to run scripts directly, so you have to start the CLI manually and do .read foo.sqs).
I also meant to say that stimulants and antidepressants shouldn’t be expected to solve the entire problem. Stimulants, in particular, are a double-edged sword that can amplify sleep deprivation, anxiety, poor-diet, etc. and make problems worse in the long term. But I wouldn’t hesitate to encourage someone to seek medication that they need. I can see how the line gets a bit blurry with medical and PhD students—at what point does chronic academic stress crossover into anxiety/depression/ADD? We don’t want people popping Adderall as an academic requirement.

In any case, I think preventative mental health education and destigmatization would be a more effective solution overall.
> My country (US) doesn't have a great human rights track record either, but at least we're allowed to talk about it.

Exactly. No country has a perfect history but by confronting past mistakes you have a chance to learn from them and hopefully support laws or norms that prevent them from happening again.

Perhaps this only applies in countries that practice democracy, where the people's awareness has a chance of translating into representation. Otherwise it's only likely to create discontent with the inability to change things (and thus unrest).
Since the introduction of the ACA ("Obamacare") the US no longer works the way you're claiming. You don't have to disclose preexisting conditions during sign-up, and your policy cannot be cancelled due to failure to disclose.
Small planes allow one to bypass a congested airport in a huge city when going from one medium city to another, by right-sizing to the crowd that wants to go between them. Among other benefits, it makes the huge city airport less congested.
Can someone explain to me why we have very highly paid medical staff working crazy hours, as opposed to simply having more medical staff working normal hours and getting paid proportionally less? Is it because we can’t train enough of these people so we must overwork the existing ones to meet the demand for healthcare?

(Obviously from the patients’ point of view they’d rather not have any important medical decisions made by sleep deprived doctors.)
I don't. I have a vitamin sometimes when I remember, but I don't drink booze, tea, or coffee, smoke, take antidepressants, focus drugs, anything. I also don't play with essential oils, homeopathy, crystals, or other placebos. Heck, I don't even take painkillers or headache medicine unless I've got stitches. So, while I would agree that most probably do, you can't say 'everyone'.
Do you know if it's relatively easy to analyze your genetic information yourself instead of relying on a third party?
Second-order tangent incoming.

Back in the 1990s, when smoking inside was still allowed, a bar in Finland had a problem with people tossing their cigarette butts to the wide urinal in mens' toilet. Of course it was constantly clogged.

Tired of the disgusting cleaning routine, the owners eventually found an approach that helped. They put a new plaque on the wall above the urinal: "If you piss cigarette butts, please consult your doctor."
> maintained, unlike QtWebKit these days

Seems somewhat revived/maintained by annulen [0] as pointed out in these release notes. Also, QtWebEngine seems to usually be behind a Chromium version or two which, among other reasons, is why I use CEF in my Qt-based browser (granted I'm behind a couple versions on public releases, but that's my fault).

>Then it was no smoking in bars, in your own home, within 50 meters of a door (good luck in a packed in city).

what country/city is this? most places I've been don't have such limits or is limited to 9m at most

>Then it was "we don't hire smokers, even ones who don't smoke while they are at work". Then it was oh you switched to vaping because it doesn't smell as bad, has a much lower health risk but we're even going to be shitty to you for trying that.

I'm skeptical that this happens at any significant level.

>Maybe, just maybe we should try to remember that these folks are PEOPLE and still deserve to be treated with a modicum of decency, the same as we do for the poor, the overweight, members of the opposite sex, those of different gender identities and sexual preferences and so on and so forth.

some of the things in the list are unlike the others.

smoking/overweight: you have control over, and can take steps to stop it

everything else: you have no control over
>Med school -> Memorization school

At a bad medical school, maybe.

Pretty much anything can be taught as blank facts, versus a method that stimulates critical thinking.

Programming, for instance. ;)
> It’s easy to make mistakes. One article about Peng Liyuan, China’s first lady, mistakenly used the photo of a famous singer rumored to be linked to another leader. It was caught by someone else before it went out, Mr. Yang said.

I’m betting this is the lameizi (spicy girl) singer Song Zuying who was rumored to be Jiang’s mistress. She is in the process of being purged as Xi is doing to many of Jiang’s supporters ATM. Xi’s wife is also a patriotic song singer from the same era, it makes sense young people might get confused.
AFAIK the CLI has tests but not to the depth and detail the main library is tested. Makes sense, since the CLI is often not shipped in applications.
That's why I'm not using my bupropion. I got a prescription last month to treat seasonal affective disorder, and my psychiatrist wants me to use it every winter then cycle off in the spring, but the side effects both coming on and off seem awful.
Cmd key combinations are one of the things that keep me coming back to macOS. Far more ergonomic than ctrl and just requires you to move your thumb (which typically would hover over cmd key anyway). It’s one of those things Apple did right back in the day.
That's interesting. Thanks for responding. Do you really think it's the same?

My perspective is that there's such an incredible difference in degree as to be a difference in kind. Politically incorrect speech in the US may get you socially ostracized, but not literally jailed. And occasionally some people actually do it (look at any self-proclaimed Nazi or the Westboro Baptist Church). And criticizing the government or governance in the US is not politically incorrect; it's rather in vogue these days.
> but for most people is way too restrictive

This is the point of redux. If you don't have these restrictions, then state will be all overt the place, race conditions, side effects will make your life much harder as the app matures especially with multiple developers.

Spring Boot is a good start and easy to evolve into custom assembly of the frameworks and libraries which compose it. Java ecosystem is still more mature and functional than anything else, so I‘m even wondering what’s there in Django, that doesn’t exist on Java platform?
Medical information is much better regulated than Equifax. HIPAA applies here for one example. Plus we're talking about acknowledged disclosures, rather than leaks which is apples and oranges anyway.
These absurd hours have already been reduced. A friend of mine when I was 14 was a resident. He worked 3 35-hour shifts a week.

Although I would welcome the use of common names instead of Latin names, the names in anatomy and pathology are annoying but not a hindrance. The difficult thing is to remember causes and symptoms of diseases, innervation of muscles, drug pathways, etc. That would be hard to simplify.
While true, its the never-ending sarcasm that permeates through these idiotic questions that gets me.

To norwegians: Why should anybody care what I packed for lunch, mind personal business and stop looking into neighbors sandwich. While at it find better topics as conversation starter.

p.s. still while at it, the sarcasm, that most norwegians call 'humor', would be much more interesting cultural feat to explore in an article or 2.

You can undoubtedly put priority of grammar over vocabulary, no? You are not thinking in terms of systems that allow us to find the "words" we need after being guided by our mastery of the grammar and ability to reason about what must be said given a situation. I think what you said is valid only if we think about speaking a language unassisted by these types of systems, which is exactly what I feel must be left behind.

Edit:

Also, this is what happens in practice anyway! Doctors don't remember a lot and constantly have to look things up ( as is understandable and expected ). You must be a master of the "grammar of medicine" though. Otherwise you won't be able to construct well formed sentences... aka medical thoughts.

You need some memorization to give some concrete instances of the grammar, of course; however, going overboard on the "vocabulary" is not constructive and shifts the focus onto knowing a lot of words, not knowing how to construct great sentences. It's like a writer that knows a lot of uncommon words, but ends up having nothing meaningful to say... because the power of writing is not in the vocabulary alone, but in the craft of composition.

Here in the UK at least, the military is one of the very few exceptions to the disabilities laws.

I believe even the police are subject to the disabilities laws, the medical profession too. In which case they most likely can't even ask.
