That's exactly how I started teaching my 2nd grader. They got some problems like that for their homework and on the scratch paper I said, "well for the blanks we can just stick an x in there" and she didn't even blink and went with it. Because well blanks look just odd. They might look like a "-" if it is written too high.

This is an example of them taking something that's basic and making it more complicated and cumbersome by trying to "simplify" it.
I'm a vegetarian not a vegan, and thus I eat eggs.
But the 'ethically' sourced part is something I'm not that sure about. Sure they can be (and I get them from my grandparents who keep some chickens.. so that's ethical IMO).

If you buy eggs from a shop, I'd say there is a fair chance that the animals are not treated that well.

EDIT: I now realize many others have already made this point in other comments, oopsie.
Well, They are a loss making venture as on today, and expect this to come down a lot before its starts sharing its quarterly results!
Bagel Health (YC W19) First employee (Full-stack engineer) REMOTE

Work at a YC startup trying to fix healthcare! Bagel is a new electronic health record for the growing direct primary care (DPC) movement. Read more about DPC at dpcnation.org. DPC cuts insurance out of primary care. It makes no sense to use insurance to pay for basic or routine medical services; do you use your car insurance to pay for an oil change? There are some seriously great knock-on benefits of getting rid of insurance too.

Looking for someone who is willing to work below market (roughly ~$60k annualized) until we raise money in 6 months or so. Then the compensation can increase to market rates. Compensation also includes very generous first-employee equity (~4%, standard vesting)

We're still in the early stages of implementation. You'll have a lot of responsibility over software design and architecture decisions.

Here's the tentative stack: Typescript, React, Postgres, Express, Google Cloud, and some Neo4j sprinkled in. Don't worry if you haven't used Neo4j before. Ideally you'd be awesome at a few of these and competent in the rest.

I'm Colin McDonnell, MIT grad, software engineer, the sole founder of Bagel, and nice person. If you're interested in working together, email me at colin(at)bagel(dot)md with a resume and a bit about you and why you're interested!
Science is rarely "yes" and "no". It's much more complicated than that.

This link seem to say that women experience more pain over a lifetime, not necessary when testing for a large number of different triggers and comparing them to men.

"Research is telling us that women experience a greater number of pain episodes across their lifespan than men, in more bodily areas and with greater frequency."

They also only tested one trigger that is way more related to temperature sensitivity than actual pain tolerance.

"To carry out this research, scientists asked volunteers to place their non-dominant arm in a warm water bath (37 degrees centigrade) for two minutes before transferring the hand into an ice water bath maintained at a temperature of 1 - 2 degrees centigrade."
'Wanna make some enemies? Try to change something'
Also, giving prisoners privileges such as television or the chance to earn a little money makes it easier to prevent misbehavior by threatening to remove those privileges. This has been shown to be as effective (in most cases) as harsher punishment, but without making the prisoners as angry and resentful.
Gmail will do even more thinking for you with these 6 new features
People disagree about what's ethical.
That was true for me for a few years in my 30s. Now, for some reason, I’m actually very happy that I seem to enjoy games a lot again. Bought a Switch, and it’s getting a lot of use.

I only ever played single player games, though. Gaming was always “me time”, and there was always plenty of opportunity to meet people to be social, without games (unless it’s board games, which I enjoy too).
They don't really support IMAP -- they have an IMAP bridge which you have to run on your local machine (it doesn't support Linux -- they say they have a beta version but I don't think it's public and it's been "in beta" for a few years). This also means you can't use your own client on your phone because there's no bridge for phones (and their clients are all proprietary, with seemingly empty promises to make them open source "soon" several years ago).

They also don't support sending plain-text email (a bit of an odd restriction, and it means most mailing lists will drop your emails -- making it unusable as a primary email service if you use mailing lists often).

In addition much of their "secure email" features are only super useful if all the recipients are using ProtonMail (they use PGP under the hood, but all the keys are managed by ProtonMail -- though encryption is done client-side). You can set up a symmetric encrypted email for non-ProtonMail users, but that basically gives the user a link and they have to enter a password you've given them over a different secure channel (making it little more than a nice interface to gpg --symmetric).

All-in-all while ProtonMail is nice, for my usage it wasn't workable. I ended up using Mailbox.org which is a more traditional email system (though they have a cool feature where you give them your PGP public key and they will encrypt all plaintext emails they receive so that they are all encrypted when stored both remotely and locally).
"Hokey as it sounds, the primary reason we built Warp is that our mission is to help build a better Internet — and the mobile Internet wasn’t as fast or secure as it could be and VPNs all suck. Time and time again we've watched people sit around and talk about how the Internet could be better if someone would just act. We're in a position to act, and we've acted."

By doing the least work possible: creating a proxy. They haven't actually fixed the internet at all, they just made a new middle box.

Why do you do the work they pay you for, if no one can measure it? Seems you've got a sweet deal, get paid to do whatever you want to want regardless of result.
If you're recruiting with a specific company and specific team that you love, sure. But I can't imagine committing multiple hours of my time to each random company's take-homes. As a rule I don't really do any take-homes - the couple I've done haven't been very useful in terms of my own time investment into the problems themselves, and the companies have not been worth it to go above and beyond.
Both versions are considered correct. Perhaps by different people....

I've spent the last decade developing custom software solutions to solve business problems. I've worked for billion dollar enterprises delivering software for consumer electronics. I've led a team of developers to modernize a companies systems to make them more maintainable and quicker to iterate. I've introduced best practices such as source control, continuous integration, code reviews, and testing to improve workflow and reliability.

I can help your company develop custom software specifically designed for your needs. I also provide services to smaller business that can't justify a full time architect where I will come in as needed and help architect a system or diagnose the reliability of existing systems while providing suggestions on how to improve.

> Somehow I think the Chinese people are better off with access to Google than without.

I think the Chinese people are better off without the Chinese government having access to Google. Google is at it's core an advertising and surveillance company. Its true customers are not the users but the advertisers. Political advertising (AKA propaganda) would only get more powerful in China with Google as an outlet.
Much to my dismay, it looks like it is indeed motivated by political correctness: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4360141/

But who cares if it leads to better research.

The issue I have with it is that we are talking about animal studies. And asking scientists to justify the use of male vs female mice sound like asking physicists to justify the choice between spherical and cubic cows. A point of using mice is that experiments can be done easily and cheaply before moving on to more detailed research using more varied, more expensive animals, ending up with humans.

Forcing scientists to compare male and female mice can lead to better research... on mice. But does it result in better research on humans is debatable (and debated in the paper I linked). After a quick read, what I find unfortunate is that the conclusion is supported more by political arguments than with hard data.
One of the arguments for being vegetarian/vegan is that animals have sentience etc I wonder if this was true (and real research already shows plants can communicate etc) would that impact vegetarians?

Are there 'degrees of sentience'? Is a cow more sentient than a tofu plant?

I mean if you wanted to really not harm any living thing you'd basically starve to death!

Good theory, but in practice challenging the wisdom of metrics that really important managers have put into place tends to be a career-limiting move.

The very important managers themselves should care about evaluating the metrics they impose, but typical unspoken manager performance metrics include "episodes of dissent" (addressed by discouraging advice), "displays of weakness" (addressed by threats and aggressive attitude), "time management" (addressed by not thinking matters through), and so on.
People who practice Jainism, never touch meat in their whole life. They even avoid certain foods like Onions, Garlic etc. There are more. Why are you asking? Meat is not required as food. Period.
I only made one example, another one might be `classList.add`, jQuery's `$.fn.addClass` accepts a string which may contain multiple space-separated classes, while the "native" version accepts multiple string arguments. That's a very different interface.

> - Doesn't arbitrarily transform property names

Ok, would you then prefer to reimplement the vendor-prefixing logic on your own or just not support browsers that only support the vendor-prefixed version of a property?

I can see your point, and in some ways I agree with that "philosophy", but my point was that I wouldn't personally call these functions "jQuery alternative" in this context, as the 2 are pretty different beasts.
When i was directly managing developers (now I manage dev managers), I always loved it when someone would talk about their expectations and targets.
As a manager, there are usually many areas or topics that could be going in a better direction. and someone who is more engaged because they want to earn a higher salary in exchange for taking responsibility in some area of the team is a huge asset.
If someone wants to earn a higher salary in exchange for taking more direct accountability for our outcomes (which can be in an IC or lead capacity), there's usually plenty of opportunity in the typical team, if the manager can structure it right with the various stakeholders and budget authorities.
Just wanted to say, don't hesitate to start the conversation with your manager. I know some probably don't handle it well but some do.
What I'd recommend is, a conversation based on the question "what would I need to be bringing to this team to hit salary level X". if the manager doesn't come up with an answer to that, well you probably should be looking elsewhere. but it might be the shortest path to what you want especially if you like your current environment.

There, I fixed it for you.

Seriously, I see so many ways of re-inventing these wheels, written in the fad languages/systems d'jour. Perl works very well, for a large subset of tasks that are common.

The same code that ran 25+ years ago (in perl4) on my Sun and Irix machines, runs today on my laptops in linux, MacOSX. I remember building Perl atop the Cray J90 running Unicos in grad school, as I had built run automation software in it (not a queuing system, but code to encapsulate some of my runs and return the relevant data). I had developed that code on my OS2 based desktop with Perl.

Perl is a go-to language. It gets stuff done. Without pain.

THIS.. this part is very important.

another key point is don't settle for 'we will review this next quarter' or something along those lines which is just their strategy to play for time.

The only argument AGAINST this is that if they have a clear review process outlined when you joined the company.

Most companies want to batch up these operations so that they're not constantly reviewing salaries at unusual times.

My point is that if they ARE reviewing you don't let them punt on the decision.

IF they do then start looking for a new gig.
Within a lifespan though. It took a lot longer for the Romans to go from a functioning republic to being a true empire with an autocratic and often hereditary ruler. The span from the Gracchi brothers to Augustus was about 180 years, longer still until all pretensions of republican rule were tossed aside.

Of course, the Weimar Republic was much weaker than the Roman one, or even the American one at that point in time, meaning it was easier to kill.
> What I found most interesting, was that there were some use-cases when the network with Wireguard performed even better than without it (probably related to congestion control).

It could be the different routing.

Your ISP's routing might be sub-optimal to certain destinations. After all, it chooses routes based (at least in part) on cost, not performance.

There are commercial products that do this sort of tunneling (among other things) to lower routing latencies.

Beam Newsletter Week 13
I've noticed a few companies seem to be the ones many of my former colleagues flock to, and they rarely stay there for very long. My suspicion is that these companies know they need our specific talent, and use pay (or a similarly narrow carrot) to poach them when they have little else to offer. Then it turns out to be not worth it for one reason or another, and they quickly leave. Sometimes these people seem to go through a series of very short jobs at the same set of companies before settling somewhere else. When I speak with these former colleagues, usually pay or rate of advancement is the key driver, and often they're someone I'm not surprised wasn't advancing or getting raises quickly.

I agree about counter-offers being a lousy basis for a work relationship. It's like getting married because someone says "propose-or-we-break-up". But also don't just chase a minor raise at the cost of all else. Know what you're genuinely worth. Be almost as suspicious of someone who's offering you more money than you're worth as you are of someone who's offering you less money than you're worth. It could be a sign that they're struggling to retain people or attract people, and are throwing money at the problem (money's not always the problem). It could be that they have unsustainable growth, and aren't watching expenses and are just trying to increase headcount. It could be your current employer is an exploitative jerk, but just be aware.
