Oat milk is by far the best "alternative" milk I've tried for coffee - I find it really adds something different that cow's milk doesn't.

Recently tried making my own and it's a really nice process to go through (to the extent am looking at small scale manufacture).

If you can, definitely try it in a flat white back to back with cow's milk.

I think this statistical error is called confusion of the inverse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_of_the_inverse

Confusion of the inverse is the assumption that the probability of A given B is equal to the probability of B given A. In symbols, the fallacy is falsely assuming P(A|B) = P(B|A). You have to use Bayes' Theorem to convert from a conditional probability to its inverse:

P(B|A)⋅P(A) = P(A|B)⋅P(B)

I've always found people who struggle with CSS don't really know how CSS works and never studied as well as any other language or tool they use. They do a quick read of an article somewhere, ask a question on reddit, get an answer from some 15-year old kid, it doesn't work, and they give up. Yet they own whole book shelves on the latest trendy framework or language they are using.

I used both a "swarm of crypto clients" and ledger/trezor, and the thing about the latter is that not only is it more secure (and argue with that if you want), but also more convenient. To a regular user those devices are kind of Netflix/Spotify for crypto.

I think golf is a sport where you can compete against yourself. Anecdotally, my 2 friends that play golf are middle lower class, by no means wealthy.

Obviously, any sport can be played against opponents, but some don't have to. And I believe most wealthy people have to compete against human opponents most of the time and are inclined to pick "easier" to win sports when it comes to doing it for fun.
I think it depends on your training volume. It's interesting; I see so many sources that claim that exercise is not helpful for weight loss, but it's so different from my personal experience. I personally lost 25 pounds without decreasing calorie intake while preparing for and doing marathon training. I experimented with a vegetarian diet, but I lost little to no weight during that 2 or 3 month phase.

Admittedly, I saw no changes in weight until I hit about 20 miles per week when preparing for starting an actual training schedule. After around a 25 pound decrease, or ~30 to ~27 BMI, I think I'm closing in on my personal limit for weight loss without dietary changes or sacrificing more than I'd like to before the marathon, although I'm eating much more to sustain 40-50 miles per week.

At an estimate of 100 calories per mile [0], 20 miles per week is about 2,000 calories burned, and 50 miles per week adds up to 5,000. I find it difficult now to improve substantially without increasing calorie intake, but the weight loss just happens whenever I ignore nighttime hunger for 2 or 3 days a week during training. I ate the same amount or less without experiencing this hunger when I was heavier.

I wish I could offer some sort of source other than my anecdote. I can think of a few possible reasons why I'm not finding any data on this:

1. It's hard not to increase calorie intake while increasing exercise enough for weight loss to be noticeable. Based on my note above about only experiencing weight loss when I experienced mild hunger, it seems as though the same traditional calories in, calories out principle and the difficulties that come with that apply.

2. At the slower pace I've been running and that many who start off obese may run, it takes a lot of time to build up to the training volume necessary to experience weight loss. This may be difficult to replicate with a large enough number of individuals willing to participate in a study due to individual time constraints or job inflexibility.

3. This only works up to a certain point. I have not been successful in getting down to <25 BMI. BMI's an imperfect measure, but it aligns with my goals. I will be making dietary changes to decrease weight further, but intense exercise has been great for getting me started.

4. Not all calories are equal. I've learned a lot about nutrition since starting training and try to eat more foods that are high in iron. My diet is quite high in carbs, though, which most plans that don't require sacrificing calories do not recommend for weight loss.

5. It's possible that I've actually decreased my calorie intake without realizing it. I really doubt this. On Saturday to load up for a Sunday long run, I ate an entire small pizza, french fries, and tacos for dinner.

Does anyone else have similar experience with weight loss or have any sources that would advocate for high volume endurance exercise for weight loss?

So my PostgreSQL deployment processes quite a bit more than 1.2bn records / month (closer to 10bn / month).

What I have to say for AWS (which I use), the back up is why I use AWS. The ease of backing up, rolling back, and connecting additional services, and scaling make it killer.

That being said, I’ve seen around 5x - 10x speed improvement for the same exact cost utilizing bare metal servers. I’ve been using online.net/scaleway and similar services. However the real value save is limited as you need to do a lot more work and often pay more for backing up. Overall, real savings might be 50% cost reduction, with some additional risk. Need more space? Launch a new server, copy, check, switch over, pray. With AWS it’s one click

The real question is what do you want to manage the database or not and how much time you have.
The supply is much more limited for remote jobs so the pool is even smaller and the entry is higher.

Zapier goes over their hiring process (https://zapier.com/jobs/our-commitment-to-applicants/). It lines up with what I've experienced in that technical assessment is valued to the company, but more than anything they value ones ability to communicate and articulate in the interviews. So much of working remotely is trust and that is pulled out in different ways during the interviews.

A mobile app managing cryptocurrency, but does not sign all their release, and don't even react the situation quickly. Apparently they have no clue what they are doing in terms of security.

Since they also use react native, and npm is notorious for being exploit to distribute malware. I have a brief look at the package.json. Seems to be a typical javascript project where developers tend to put one more dependency for a simple feature rather than implementing themselves. So, if one of the hobbyist project owner's key is compromised or hand over their orphan project to somebody malicious to manage their npm, then they are screwed. Although same could apply to other language which have package management, npm is the worst among those. Do they ensure the dependencies are signed before building the binary? And always use the last known good version for building new binary? I really doubt.

If the SV companies are hiring remote employees now, that certainly changes things. I wouldn't put too much stock in the FAANG experience though, unless you luck into a company trying to make a prestige hire; they are competing directly with people with the same experience and skills, but earned in places where the wages are much less (say UK, Canada or Australia). I don't know the actual pay details, but we have had experienced people who have moved to us from FAANG and I'm confident they would have taken a pretty large pay cut assuming what I hear about the wages is true (but still happy, since it is generally tied to lifestyle changes and/or moving somewhere much cheaper to live). We employ a lot of remote Python and Go devs, and geographically we seem to have ended up with the most head count in New Zealand, Brazil, and the UK, despite the population advantage of the USA. Its remote work, so you can only afford to hire experienced staff because mentorship and training is so much harder.
> If you can't quantify the value you're adding to an organization, are you adding any at all?

The problem with that line of thought is that it's not at all easy (or even possible) to quantifiably measure performance on an individual basis. This is especially true for roles like PM's whose job is to enable the labor and talent of others.

This was a very interesting read, and I agree with Ragnars conclusions.

I'm amazed sometimes of how complicated and heavy some people, especially new developers, make things.

While I usually pull in JQuery for small applications, sometimes all you need is.. well, nothing, just the core language(s).
Thanks for the heads up!

I had noticed that almost all of them had the exact same website, emails and billing software. I assumed that it was like how all sites using Wordpress are essentially the same if you take away the flashy JS stuff.

I am currently paying for a year and if all goes well, maybe update to a 3 yr contract. My plan is to architect the cloud in a way that I can immediately migrate / scale to GCP at the first sign of trouble - so my data / customers etc. should ideally not have issues. But from a cost standup, it's definitely going to be difficult.

> it may be true that most criminals in an area are of a certain race; that says nothing about the likelihood of a single person of that race being a criminal

Huh? If 10% of purple people in an area have been incarcerated, and you select one individual from the purple people population of that area at random, the odds are 10% the individual you selected will have been incarcerated. That's fundamental to how sampling works.

I'm considering preordering this, but I'd like some confirmation it will work with my Verizon account. The FAQ says:

What about Basecamp? That seems to do well for distributed teams, but I don't know if it can be effective if all you use it for is for daily updates. I've never used any of these async tools outside the Jiras and Gits of the world so my experience is limited.
Funny thing is I have known about some of these companies since about a few years. I distinctly remember seeing Ghost's revenue (around $40K) and thinking, "umm.. that doesn't seem much to go around five people."; watching Hubstaff numbers (which was ~$80K/month, I believe), and saying to myself, "that's a very niche software. Would it ever go to make revenue that justifies expenses of a team?" (I think the CEO mentioned that he had taken zero salary since starting the company)

I am amazed how far they have come. So, a lesson learned well: If you're starting a company, you're fighting a long, hard battle against pessimists like me.
You know that in Android, if you as a developer use in app purchases, you have to pay a cut to the play store, right? But the thing is, you can also do payments on your own (although users are much less likely to trust you), in which case there is no cut. This is why I can buy a book in Kindle on my android phone, but no on my dad's ipod.

That's what people are asking for. If you want to provide services, sure, charge for them, but also allow developers to not use your services in this case.

Apples monopoly enforcement in both this and in html rendering is one of the biggest causes of stagnation in tech right now.

When I run a web app, sure, I need to pay lots of different middle men. But I get to choose which ones I use.

Milk as a general term for a white liquid made from nuts and grains goes back hundreds of years. Nobody is calling it "milk", they are calling it "oat milk". Calling it "juice" as you have is far more wrong.
Many people, including me, think that Oatly's iKaffe tastes better with coffee than milk.

You can see that in the local market here in Finland. Large number of oat and soy milks next to each other, many brands stay fully stacked (they taste bad) but Oatly's iKaffe is always almost out or out.

People have started to buy more of it when it is available, so it vanishes from the shelves even faster.
Used to work with Rational Rhapsody. Big project with a lot of fancy state charts - that was nightmare. Visual programming does suck (unless it's Simulink).
Well, because it does.

Let's say we have a group of 1000 animals:
900 rabbits and 100 foxes.

We also know that there are about 10 crimes happening every year and for every crime there's 50% chance of it being committed by a fox.

Then according to Bayes' formula:

P(fox is a criminal) = P(criminal is a fox) * P(animal is a criminal) / P(animal is a fox) = 0.5 * 0.01/0.1 = 0.05 = 5% chance for every given fox to be a criminal.

For every given rabbit the same formula gives 0.5 * 0.01/0.9 which is roughly 0.6%.

It's the responsibility of both to pick sane defaults. When the software developer picks insane defaults they are being antisocial, those distro packagers are people too and developers who pick insane defaults are causing unnecessary grief for packagers.
Yea this sounds like some random people back in huawei China were super curious about this robot and wanted to copy it so they didn’t need to buy from some company rather than some kind of broad company effort to steal super high tech stuff.

Look, I said it was arguably not RAII, so I can see how one could make the point that it still works if you do it that way. But you saying "I'm just plain wrong" to say that RAII actually means resources must be allocated on initialization... I don't know what to tell you. That's literally what the acronym means.

And just because some low-level pointer primitive allows itself to have a null state doesn't mean your Files and DBConnections, etc., should have free reins to do the same.
>I also really enjoy building CSS UIs from scratch, but editing existing stylesheets is a pain point. Band-aid after band-aid.

I feel the same. I fiddled with css on personal projects just fine, but in my job, diving into years of accumulated, imbricated classes is a nightmare and even though I try, 80% of the time I end up passing the problem to the design team.

>but have you ever heard runners geek out about shoes, socks, chafing remedies, mobile hydration solutions, “gels,” etc.

But pretty much all that is optional and the rate of performance return for investment is minuscule in running compared to biking.

If you shop around you can get good enough running shoes for $50. After that you need shorts, underwear that won't chafe a couple shirts (and possibly a sports bra). For under $100 you can have everything you need to train for and complete a marathon.

This sounds like fantasy to me:
"Prior to colonisation, most people lived in subsistence economies where they enjoyed access to abundant commons – land, water, forests, livestock and robust systems of sharing and reciprocity. They had little if any money, but then they didn’t need it in order to live well – so it makes little sense to claim that they were poor."
They still fought over resources and hunting grounds. They even had slaves. I don't understand how that is a robust system of sharing and reciprocity.
This raises so many questions:

1. How many pictures do you need?
It seems they keep sending out pictures and then they send more people to get more pictures. Is there a lot of additional value in additional pictures?

2. How hard is it to reverse engineer tappy?
Once you know how it works, I just assumed that Huawei has more than enough engineering talent to put together a tappy.

3. Was there a particular component of tappy that was hard to copy?

4. If I had to guess, the software that recognizes if the phone screen is on and working is the secret sauce. Not the mechanical tapping which, although sophisticated, is presumably copyable.

My work used to bring in the Decker folks for trainings onsite. We stopped a few years ago before I could get in (my manager said I had decent skills already and there were others in more critical need of the trainings). I've hear nothing but positive experiences. It was a small group training where you give multiple on the spot presentations and the pros helpfully critique and provide help. You learn stage presence and how to not fill silence with filler words and such.
