Agreed. It’s not that I don’t get it; people have always built systems where even idempotency is impossible, and it’s a lot easier to convince business-side stakeholders that “exactly once” can’t be compromised on than that non-idempotency is a critical design flaw. But it’s easier because the term substantially misleads them about what you’re getting.

It seems likely that the emphasis on judging the aesthetic values of work spaces may itself be the issue, not that our hospitals and other public facing facilities are depressing.
Very cool but I find a pi is overkill for something like this. ESP8266 or ESP32 would work just as well.
Can you provide some statistics on where your developers are located?
Ok this is bad. On safari, I think it makes sense. They just show the domain and a lock icon if there is https to make the ui cleaner, and if you click on the adress bar, the full url shows. It's a good user flow, and it makes sense. This google move does not make sense, especially when people are so used to the full url showing, its going to confuse a lot of users.

Have you ever been in the hiring manager position? Because what you propose is intenable.

Too many things will go wrong when you provide precise feedback.

First, most people don't react well to negative feedback. The natural reaction is to get defensive.

Tell one person you felt other candidates were stronger in XYZ: they get back to you with arguments and examples that shows that no, actually they know a lot about XYZ. Ok, you're nice, you take a look again. Then you decide their XYZ level is still not up to par and you thank them for their time. Once in a while, someone will not give up. They'll argue with you forever. Until you stop all forms of communications. Only a minority of people do that, but out of the one resume a day you receive, you can be sure to hit this problem almost weekly. So you learn to stop giving feedback. And of course, once a year, you have the candidate who threatens to sue because your answers show that your hiring process is biased/unfair.

We'd love to give good feedback. Others ruined it a long time ago for everyone.
Reminded me of a Jocko Willink quote I just came across today:

"People that don't love what they're doing, that don't like what they're doing, they have problems. They're not enjoying it, they're not putting in the extra hours, they're not being creative in trying to find new solutions. So when you love something and you're passionate about it, you put the extra effort into it naturally, you try and get creative with it naturally, and you end up more successful naturally because it's something that you care about."

Most patients can't afford the organised health insurance scam industry. That's where most of the money goes.

Ending that scam and asking patients to add an extra percent or two on their bills to pay for good food and a good environment would barely be a rounding error compared to the banditry that forces them to pay outrageous and unjustifiable fees for common meds and routine medical services - never mind specialised care.
Don’t forget the PR aspect, and political cost. A lot of people in France believe nuclear power is carbon intensive because of the plume coming out of the towers.
With some caution: This works for specific plants only. I'm getting into cacti and other succulents as a hobby and I'm learning that minimal water and minimal soil fertility is actually the desired environment... which means such a monitor wouldn't help me. (This possibly also applies to bonsai- there is several overlapping growing mediums which makes me suspect this is the case.)

Your household makes $36k and you pay $10k for drugs on a private plan and that’s somehow a better deal than an ACA plan? Yeah, that’s not making any sense to me at all.

Putting that aside, I’m not saying that’s a good life. But in the context of the article, where it’s comparing the absolute number of poor to crime rates, I’m skeptical that it’s an apples to apples comparison when defining poor in the way they do. Half the median in Japan is a very different thing than half the median in the US nationwide.

This seems like a very important article. Just as a point of comparison, tree planting is great and all, but something like ~100 entities are responsibly for 71% of all emissions.
I have taken a school bus at 6am (on a Saturday, no less) to a regional school event the next state over that started at 9am. My old high school had a "Zero Hour" during weekdays that started at 7:05am for those who had to work after school to support their families, or other obligations like sports in the afternoon. Busses serviced these kids. Combine that with the fact that children are high risk to cross the street without looking both ways for oncoming traffic, and school busses (and only school busses) are traditionally painted yellow as an alarm to the community to be very careful around them as there is a good chance it is hauling children and exceptional caution is to be given.
Study after study provides evidence that compensation is the most important motivator up to some individual range/level, at which point its leverage quickly tapers off. Food & shelter would definitely be below the cut-off but a 5% increase could be huge for some and meaningless for others. The challenge is everyone's curve is going to be different.

This list jives with the internal motivators that appear to drive really great work above the survival level: safety, opportunity and recognition.
The idea that climate change is primarily a political topic is why we're in this mess in the first place.
That's why climate change is going to end our global civilization; short sighted profiteering.
> most of it will be released when the trees die

The idea is not to just plant trees but to increase the number of trees on the planet over the long term so that effectively the CO2 absorbed does not go back to the atmosphere.

This is aimed at reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and has to go hand in hand with reducing emissions.
I think the difference is CAD is already expensive in memory and CPU time, so any increase would likely be very noticeable. With IDE's and messaging clients, pretty much any computer can run even the most inefficient ones fairly well since they aren't doing anything super resource intensive, so it makes sense to prioritize feature development over efficiency improvements which wouldn't really affect the end user very much.

Personally, I dislike the idea of Electron apps and the slight increase in input lag and lack of customization, so I never install them on my personal computer (I just use the website, since that is essentially all the app is anyways), but I can see that for most people it makes sense to trade off efficiency for feature development in this case.
Which is why you outsource the tree planting to a place that has room for trees -- and it's more efficient because they can grow trees better than you can, anyway.

nationalforests.org, the Arbor Day Foundation... there are probably lots of good options.
If a tree is planted, grows, and then for example is burned down and paved over, that'd be true. But if a tree grows and eventually dies in a forest, it'll be replaced with new trees naturally, cancelling out the CO2 leaked from the tree dying. This C02 can also be stalled by harvesting the tree and using it in some way that stops C02 from being released for a longer time than natural.
There's 40 million Irish descendants in the US. The Irish weren't wiped out, they just left. Also it's hard to take that concern seriously when today's Irish government has done more to increase foreigner control over Ireland than the British government ever did.
> [...] as a tree that is still growing

Do trees stop growing?
In the early aughts I was kicking around an idea for minimization of binaries/libraries. The idea was to take a compiled binary plus debug information, and use disassembly to work out which code paths are reachable from a selected set of entry points (say the ones used by your application). Then code paths which are considered "dead" would be zeroed out, preparing a minimized binary.

solution: run the application and find out what functions are/are not called.
No easy way to plot this - planting trees to sequester CO2 may or may not have a net positive impact at scale for a variety of reasons:

1) The timescale is very long - a single tree to drive carbon neutrality is MOST optimistically pegged at 40 - 100 years depending on species. With expanding populations planning or guaranteeing execution on that time scale is limited. AKA it's very unlikely that most efforts, unless planted in an evergreen protected land will actually drive a net positive impact.

2) Forest soil and topsoil (from dropped branches, leaves, etc) can sequester up to 2x as much carbon as the actual trees themselves and is typically counted in the "net negative" C02 impact. But warming temperatures creates a negative feedback loop increases the rate of C02 release from soil.

3) Governments, in their effort to drive commercial tree planting, are accidentally driving the wrong incentives - farmed forests are <50% as effective at C02 sequester as natural forests and the act of burning wood pellets for fuel and or even using for building materials dramatically reduces and in fact calls into question ANY C02 benefits.

Effectively the only sure fire way towards atmospheric CO2 reduction is cutting consumption

A lot of the reasons to stay in America are personal.

* Compared to my in-laws in Japan, my parents here in the US are younger, more able, and far more supportive in general. We're getting way more help with our kids here than we would in Japan. We're getting more financial support. It's difficult to admit but it's a very simple truth.

* I have an older brother on the autistic spectrum who greatly benefits from having me nearby. And I'd probably need to take up his care if something happened to my parents, so it makes sense to be settled in the US.

* Our kids are biracial. Their social lives would probably be more difficult in Japan. Meanwhile, that's almost the norm where we live in California.

* My career prospects are far more open in the US. You definitely feel the "gaijin glass ceiling" when you're working in a Japanese company. This may be changing today. But it was very true back in the mid-00s.

* Likewise, my wife's career prospects are more promising in the US too. It's very difficult to get a salaried, high-paying job in Japan, especially as a woman, and especially as a person reentering the job market in middle age. That's not easy in America either, but not impossible like Japan. It would be a massive shame for her mind and education to go to waste. Japanese society is fucking this up badly.

* Today's Japan does not smile upon children. If you take your kids to a restaurant, or take them on the train, or really try to do anything with them in public, then grit your teeth. You're going to be surrounded by old people everywhere, and many will be shooting you evil glares. To simply have kids is to disrupt the harmony. I've literally seen public parks get shut down because old people living across the street couldn't tolerate the sound of kids laughing. This isn't specific to my having half-breed kids; I hear the same from almost everyone. We actually know a lot of Japanese families (several dozen) who are staying in America mostly for this reason, planning to go back after their kids grow up.

I loved living in Japan as an unencumbered young person. There are many things that Japan gets really right, like big city life, that's almost universally terrible in the US. When we go visit Japan, we come back kind of disgusted by America: there's trash everywhere, food is gross, certain neighborhoods are unsafe, every other person is obese, etc. Still, considering the above, the scales tip in favor of the US for us.

Yes, that's another verification tool they use for highly contagious (think HIV / AIDS / HEP-C) patients.

However, those lights are usually handheld and small. Expecting cleaning staff to cover 100% of all walls each time they cleaned it (which is multiple times a day) is prone to failure.

Plus those lights work best when the room is dark. Which means you could only clean it at night.

And some rooms have multiple patients, so now the cleaner people will need to work around them / have them be OK with the room being dark for a while. This can work, but again not every patient will be comfortable with a "crime scene investigation" happening while they recover.

He does have some correct observations. Information asymmetry, getting ghosted, the ungodly time needed to go through interviews are all real problems. Too bad the points are poorly formed and the whole article is just a rant.

Also, funny what is considered (or at least how one considers themselves) senior now. 15 years in and I think of myself as mid level.
I'm not sure either. URLs obviously aren't going anywhere, even if Google makes this UI change. Social media and email still exist. People aren't going to suddenly stop sharing links to news and blog posts. If Google Chrome really makes it too hard to copy the URL of the current page, then even my least technically literate friends will switch to another browser – they all send each other URLs all the time.

This part is puzzling though:

> The full URL is also revealed by clicking twice in the URL bar on desktop, and once on mobile.

Twice? I can't picture how that will work as a UI. What happens after the first click?
This is correct. At this point, we need to buy all the time we can, in addition to all other measures. In commercial forestry trees, are usually harvested when they’re 60 to 80 years old, but they remain net carbon sinks long after that if allowed to grow. Proper forest management practices minimize carbon re-emission from rotting plant matter.
I hire exclusively "Senior" devs, and our process is tough to get through. I found the author's details online. Here's my thoughts:

> "Senior Coder"
His education and experience puts him on verge of Senior, but I'd go in expecting not a lot, and probably focus on throwing shit from right field at him and seeing how he react and learn on the fly. The blog post strongly implies he'd just angrily hang up (which is actually rare!)

Also, "Coder"? I can see he went from design to PHP to Ruby (via a bootcamp), so I can see why he uses 'Coder' here. I don't want 'Coders', though. I want people who can deliver well architected full stack solutions while being able to mentor junior devs in the process. The article and experience leaves me pretty low expectations of that.

The simple fact is that it's WAY WAY worse to hire a bad fit than it is to let TEN great devs walk away.

Most health insurance has a profit margin in the vicinity of 10%. They introduce many problems into the healthcare market, but if you think they’re the reason people can’t afford healthcare, you are mistaken.

I don’t mean to sound snarky here, but: if you believe you can boil down one of the most fractured, complex, and heavily regulated industries (really, set of inter-related industries) in the country to a single “that group of assholes over there cause all the problems” bulletpoint, you have missed 99% of the story.

Cześć...Warsaw is where I spent the majority of my time living abroad. I love the city, people, my closest relationships are there along with the best doctors I ever had, and I'd love to return but since my health is so frustrating I was never able to have stability in work or life long enough to legitimize. The years spent trying were always derailed by something outside of my control. I was unable to renew my Karta Pobytu the final time and had to return here. Even knowing the cons there, as Poland is certainly not as robust in the social arena as the West, and the populism is sadly growing like in the USA, I still long to return. Even if I only had access to the private system my care in it was always superb and affordable.

Had I been healthy or had some consistent support I'd have long since legitimized and possibly had citizenship if it were granted. But I'd have settled for permanent residency. Not really going to change anything to mention all of this, and things are far worse for me now all around than even then so it's possibly wishful thinking to imagine I could even have THAT life again, but it was just relevant to your comment.

You highlight an important point: your direct manager can really make or break a lot of these but they're ultimately beholden to the same macro environment as you. I try to shelter my direct reports but if we M&A, cancel major projects or change strategic direction my teams are not isolated from the impact which can be really hard on things like working towards specific career goals and directions.

My biggest self learning while becoming a manager is that the developer acid test of "smart, gets stuff done and not an a-hole" still applies, maybe more than before. I used to get personally invested in my work and now I care about each person.

I don't know what hospitals you're going to but the ones in the US don't qualify that statement. Would I say they're filthy? No, but they certainly don't look like they're cleaned often, thoroughly, or completely.
I thought about it, getting more calm is definitely happening. But I attribute that to the breathing technique and not the "observe mind" part. I'm feeling hardly ever stressed, so don't see any need for it. Maybe I expect too much.
