I can answer on the hiring side when it comes to programming jobs.

In a 100% honest world, you wouldn't even need to interview for technical positions; you could look at the person's resume and tell instantly whether or not they are capable of doing the job. But people lie a lot and over-embellish. So best questions to ask are about the items listed on their resume, because you find out who's telling the truth and who's not.

I was just thinking this, but I guess were really just talking API changes. Everything under the api can still get rewritten, no?
Aha, UUID v1! The author really wanted/expected a UUIDv4 there probably. It's confusing that we talk about "UUIDs", when there are a variety of different kinds -- called "versions" but they're not really "versions" in the sense of updated/replaced algorithms, just different approaches.

I don't know if MySQL has built-in UUIDv4 though. pg does.
easy. you just add sth like elsched.exe that keeps checking for updates in the runtime, then opens a popup saying "Electron Update Available".
Depends on the scanner! The "listed" DPI targets for scanners often aren't realized in practice. Take a look at the "image quality" section of this plustek optifilm review [0]: this one is actually very good. It's common for the "best" quality to come from scanning at 6,000+ DPI and downscaling to get ~3,000 effective DPI.

In practice, it's a _lot_ of work to get more than 3,200 DPI out of a 120 negative. You can certainly do it if you wet mount and use a flextight X5 scanner [1] (list price $23,000).

There's also the question of how fine the grains are in the film emulsion you're using. If you use ISO 50 film, you're likely to get more than 3,200 DPI of detail in the negative, but you don't have unlimited detail! Faster films have bigger grains - that's why they're faster!

So just keep in mind that the amount of detail you can extract is a combination of the following: how much detail the lens transmits, how much detail the photographic medium records and how much detail the digitization process retains. Digital cameras are a handy hack in that the photographic medium and digitization process are one step! Film is more complex.

I think the obvious answer is "if it can be done by a machine today, it's not journalism". It's stuff that journalists are expected to do, but it's busy work that takes time away from actual journalism.
exactly! this was the main reason I moved away.
I agree with this. The main reason is that there are a number of fixed costs mostly relating to building codes which are a good thing (IMO). Building materials are not the main cost (though they are considerable) of building a home.
Not at all. 9.11 * 52 = 473.72. At the very least, it's very obviously somewhere between $468-$520/yr, just over 1/10 of what was promised. There's no insincerity nor obfuscation...

Poor people could do well in America if they made economic decisions that led to them accumulating wealth.
A few paragraphs deep in the article: “Our bill will prohibit a corporation from buying back its own stock unless it invests in workers and communities first, including things like paying all workers at least $15 an hour, providing seven days of paid sick leave, and offering decent pensions and more reliable health benefits.“
> In places like Amsterdam the poor get a free car (Canta)

What? A Canta isn't a 'free car' for poor people. It's a mobility vehicle, which you apply for if you're eligible.

As for the washing machine thing: the only thing I found with 5 minutes of google-fu was that there's a on-loan system for people who are already dependent on government grants to be given one if their old one fails (and a few additional requirements). Furthermore: there are barely any laundromats in the Netherlands; it's not part of our culture at all. Hell, I'd be surprised if there are more than 50 in the entirety of Amsterdam (population 800K-900K), and those that are present would probably be near the centre where the hostels are, rather than in the suburbs where the poorer people live.

Fish used in sushi is almost inevitably frozen, or you’d have a mouthful of extremely rubbery, almost crunchy fish. Remember also that the original sushi was fish fermented in salted rice for a while. As the availability and taste for fresher fish grew, along with modern refrigeration it was discovered that you get a better texture with fish that had been frozen immediately after slaughter.

This, it is important to note, is only really the case with large, slow-growing pelagic fish like tuna.
The example from the article was better than the comment I was responding to, which used the sample "salad green".

Most people who can take "massive risks" end up, at worst, in the same situation as the average American if they fail. The average American, on the other hand, can't take those risks at all because they could end up homeless or with mountains of medical debt. Reducing how far you can fall would allow for more risks to be taken.
> As a consultant, offering a limited money-back guarantee was a huge boost to my business. I'd offer something like "if after 2 weeks, you don't like my work, we can cancel the contract and you don't have to pay anything."

> By doing this I was able to charge literally twice as much – one of people's biggest concerns with a freelancer is that they have very little idea of how skilled you actually are. And no one ever asked for a refund.

Not doubting you but how were you able to tell that was the influencing factor? Did anybody hint they were concerned they might not be happy with the final product?

Do you ask for any money upfront? I've heard of some people asking for 100% upfront with a refund guarantee.

I'll usually get some portion upfront and the rest on completion so they know they can withhold something if they're not happy.
I dont believe it either. I dont know of any successful product built that way. I can't imagine Apple building a landing page before the iPhone. Landing pages may serve a purpose but surely not to judge product market fit.
In most of these kinds of situations, the unpopular proposal is actually addressing some real problem that probably should be addressed.

Those who find the proposal terrible rally against it, but usually don't offer alternatives to address the problem. They may win, but then since the underlying problem was not addressed another proposal will arise. And since the opposition to the last one didn't contribute any new ideas to solving the problem this new proposal is usually similar to the old one.

And where is the general public in all this? The first time when they are told the proposed solution is terrible they can get behind that and call and write and sign petitions at the opposition's urging. The proposal is shelved and the public is told they won.

But they know that there still is an underlying problem to be solved, and signed on to oppose the bad proposal with the expectation that a better proposal would be offered, because the general public does actually want the underlying problem solved.

By the second or third time the now modified in small ways original proposal comes around, each time with the same "no to this, but we aren't going to offer an alternative solution" opposition, people are starting to think that maybe the proposal is the only way to solve the underlying problems because that's the only way that ever gets proposed.

This sort of thing happens with laws in a variety of fields, at all levels of government. National security, housing, transportation, crime, healthcare, education...in all of them you can find bad things eventually passed because the people vigilantly fighting those things didn't offer any answers themselves, just reasons not to accept other's proposed answers.
I don’t dispute that at all, what I was responding to was gp’s remark that a $50k vehicle “offends their sensibilities”.
from TFA:

“There isn’t much difference when we cook a fish with and without ike jime on the first day itself when it’s still fresh,” [chef Dannel Krishnan] explains. “The difference comes in only in the third, fourth and fifth day of aging. The fish that’s prepared by ike jime is still firm, and the flesh is pearly. The one that’s not becomes mushy.”
About 10 every single day, difficult to do more

I wake up, go to the gym (1h), then I go to work (8h +1h eating), come back home, work on my startup (2-3h).

On weekends same, except I'm only working on my startup.

It is a tough life, after 1 month of this schedule, I was exhausted, but the body is capable of adapting, and now I handling that easily. This is possible only because I use my bike as transportation system and thus it is very fast, and that everything I do is optimized.

Downsides is that I have almost no social life, I mean I could have about 1h of social life per day, but that would require too much energy. My health is good, but this is thanks to all the sport I do I think
The issue you have isn't lambda, it's using an *aaS that someone else is hosting.
Probably related... There are also zoning constraints. Most districts have a minimum home size - anything smaller is a mobile home - and many neighborhoods don't allow mobile homes.

So, you can build/buy a tiny home and use it like a mobile home, but that limits where you can put it. Or, you can try to get the county/city/whatever to allow it as a permanent home (with whatever zoning variance is required).
Is there widespread agreement on what it means to be a "tech company"?

Is a tech company or tech city just a company or city with a lot of software jobs? Or do people generally construe it to encompass more than software (batteries, nuclear reactors, pharmaceuticals)? Are some kinds of software excluded because they aren't novel enough?

Can Uber, FedEx, and Walmart all have the same level of technological sophistication and still one be regarded as "tech" and the others not?

I have the same question when it comes to investing, where "technology" is identified as a sector (for example Personal Capital uses it as one of 7 sectors across which to balance its portfolios). How do you decide what companies fall in or out of that sector?
> Why one has to be an informed citizen? Why one has to vote?

It's in your own interest to do so. How much do you pay in tax? Do you think that's right? What about public services? How are the roads around you? Your trash pickup? These are all things managed by elected officials. If you care about any of them it's in your interests to vote.

Lithium was the only drug that helped me. Two weeks on it and the ideations were gone. Of course it also requires monthly blood tests, and for me being nauseous every morning but the positive effects did stay after I discontinued.
The math is highly location dependent, but _in general_ the rise of the McMansion across the US is deeply linked with the property tax pressure.

The idea that the German military was somehow separate and therefore immune from the moral fallout of Nazi atrocities is a right-wing myth. The separation of party and state was porous at best, and later dissolved completely. The military regularly cooperated in, for example, the holocaust, and often took the lead in other war crimes, such as multiple massacres in Italy, Greece, the balkans, and the Baltics.
8 hours max. My intellectual productivity peaks 3 to 4 hours after I wake, and it's pretty non-existent 7 to 8 hours after I wake.

It's not fair to yourself to work beyond a sustainable amount: once you pull a weekend shift or two, your boss starts to expect it even when you can't do it, and you set yourself down an unsustainable path. I make it clear to my bosses that I won't do this, and if they need me to, it's a sign of corporate disfunction, not my own.

Productivity trick: I diligently incorporate exercise into my commute: I either bicycle or run (with backpack) as part of my evening commute, roughly year round. Combining the activity with bus routes makes this feasible in most large cities, and the activity quickly becomes the most enjoyable part of my day.

I have a few hours in the evening designated as non-work time, and I never work weekends.

Statistically speaking, you're wrong; class mobility in Western Europe is equal to or better than in the US.

Do you have any experience with micro-dosing? I've personally never eaten less than a half gram and I think a micro-dose is about a tenth of a gram.
You probably know that you can find longer dimensional lumber at a lumber yard instead of a big box store. I am building my own 2-story 2-car garage, and was surprised at how many independent lumber yards there are tucked away around town. I needed long 2x8s for my rafters, no problem finding them up to 20'. And engineered lumber comes even longer.

I'm making the upstairs into a finished living space with kitchen and bath. Everyone who sees it asks how I learned to do it, and it's the same as anything else. It's all out there on the internet if you want to take the time to read and watch. I've done everything except pour the concrete for the slab, and install the roofing. I'm currently finishing out the bathroom, then I'll lay the hardwood flooring and it'll be done. It's been very satisfying.
Same here. I'm afraid that we're being sold a compact, minimalist lifestyle that's a way of downsizing our dreams about living places. IKEA is guilty of this, advertising mini/micro flats where you usually sleep on a mezzanine and cook in the corridor.
Why Business Jargon Isn’t All Bad
As we blunder our way into the Anthropocene, discussions like this will be looked upon in terror by people living in far more cramped and efficient conditions.

Why didn't you live in more efficient housing, they might ask.

Oh, because I was mildly inconvenienced by my neighbors.

Because I wanted a garden to grow my own food.

The insulation might not be perfect.

These things are not important or, in the case of the insulation, can be adjusted with aggressive regulation. We are going to force future generations to do it, because of our wasteful lifestyles. The least we can do is start working towards living like them, in honor of those whom we imprison in a hell of our making.

> Assuming your RNG generator has sufficient entropy

Why would you ever assume that? UUIDs could be formed from a low-entropy LCGRNG and still match the specifications.

Any secret should be generated with cryptographically secure random number generators. Calling "UUID" instead of like, BCrypt or something would be a major red flag to me. Heck, a modern cryptographically secure secret can be generated from Intel's "RDSEED" assembly instruction, which provides a hardware-random source of entropy, as well as entropy guarantees. (You'll probably use this assembly instruction if you are using /dev/urandom)
UUIDs have the same problem RAID levels do; they use numbers to identify different types, but the types aren't related to each other in the way numbers are related to each other (some sort of sequential operation where "thing 3" has less of whatever it is than "thing 4" does, be it age, quality, benefits and costs like certification levels, whatever). I can never keep straight which level of RAID is which either, since I only brush them every couple of years, but if they were named for what they are instead of by number I wouldn't have this problem. I would know what "RAID Full Mirroring" or "RAID Striped" were much more easily.

We really ought to use names for them, not version numbers. If someone wrote "Timestamp-based UUIDs Are Not Fully Random", well, by the time you've typed out the title of your blog post you'd have figured out what the problem was.
Ask anyone who grew up in a decrepit mobile home park or a rotting old farmhouse in rural poverty or tiny crumbling 60+ year old housing in impoverished urban areas about the appeal of “tiny house”. I did and I find the entire concept confounding.
Teaching is a straw man. Teachers get paid poorly because (1) Americans don’t actually care about education, as evidenced by the amount teachers make, and (2) it’s a government-based monopoly that prioritizes “benefits” and graft (tenure, etc) over salary
I think that is a very weird conclusion. In Europe, because there is a safety net, there is mostly nothing to "climb out of". Working a menial job and/or playing video games before going on to university or getting a career is mostly ordinary. At least half the people I work with don't have bachelors degrees. The US actually has as high, and often higher, amounts of degrees per capita compared to European countries. Also none of my friends who were into computers growing up are doing badly relatively speaking. Which is largely a factor of the tech industry and not society.
Straw men don't exist, my wife does exist.
If you watch interviews of people who went the tiny house route, a lot of them started with "why do I need to be in debt (mortgage) for 30-40 years of my life?". There is a growing movement of people rejecting being in debt for decades and that is really a good thing. And if moving into a tiny house is carefully done, then it doesn't need to be lower standards of living.
Well you should go to a class in Harvard and make a questionnaire about everyones upbringing and see how diverse the class really is. I bet that it will be horrible and they will ask which yatch do you ride before they are even willing to answer your questions.
No need to enable it. It is on by default. :)

I work 8 hours per work day, of which I have 4 per week. In the morning I bring my kids to school, on Friday I pick them up from school, because that's my day off. My wife picks them up on her day off: Wednesday. Other days, they're picked up by afterschool child care, and my wife picks them up there when she gets home from work.

I've got a day with the kids, she's got a day with the kids, we've got a weekend with the entire family. On Thursday evenings once every two weeks, we get a babysitter and have an evening for the two of us.

I completely neglected exercise until recently (I'm 44), but since a few months I'm doing cross-fit twice a week (aiming for 3 times).

Main productivity trick: sleep well, keep work hours limited so you can give it your undivided attention during that time.
I want to clarify that I don't necessarily think that this is a bad thing. The "american dream" where everyone owns a 4000sq ft home, a wife, 3 kids, a car for each person and a backyard with a pool and a trampoline is not sustainable even in the short term. It's important to make the sustainable choices cool.

As an European I find it weird that these people decided to go live in a place with a backyard and no public transport though.

> came up with the GDPR and that was a decent (and necessary) piece of legislation.

Funny you say that. I'd say it's just the same kind of shitshow - badly written, vague (case in point: if Google's layers can't safely parse GDPR, nobody stands a chance to have certainty: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/21/18191591/google-gdpr-fine...), entirely unnecessary, isolating EU from the rest of the world behind the new Great European Firewall. Not a day passes that I wouldn't encounter a site that geoblocks EU visitors because they don't want to deal with the uncertainty of GDPR. Expect much more of that if Article 13 passes.

Great for VPN services, though.
Where do they work though? Is it still out of their grasp in Sacramento, Philadelphia, Portland, Reno, Columbus, etc?
Why not just pass a $15 minimum wage if that's the policy goal? Asking this question as a Democrat.

US Senate Democrats don't have the power to do this. You do see this in local governments where they do (like NY).

I might also wonder if this is the true policy goal nationally, or if they are just floating ideas out there to see the public opinion on them. e.g., If a $15/hr minimum wage isn't passable in their careers, maybe this would be and is a step in that direction.

Additionally, saying something new like this gets their name in headlines, which tends to be a goal for national politicians (especially when not attached to a scandal).
I'm trying and failing to wrap my brain around the passion, hard work, and sheer intelligence reflected by her sky map software anecdote.
