Well, I don't technically have a diagnosis—I don't think. I have been prescribed some medication that I think helps most of the time, as long as I can get started. 27mg Concerta up from 18mg. It's a subtle effect and I don't take it every day. To re-up this prescription, I'm counting on a walk-in clinic being able to do so by using my existing bottle. Aside from that, I'm also only maybe 3 or 4 months in to using it. What I found to be helpful in terms of study habits—I've been meandering through a degree for about 5 or 6 years—is taking physical notes frequently, for anything I do. Over the last few years it seems as though my working memory has deteriorated severely. This could be a result of a concussion or almost anything, but I've been taking B12 and it's improved a bit. Otherwise, I've reflected a lot over the last 3 years on the things I do and how I do them. In short, one thing I need to enforce in myself is only investing myself personally in stuff I can feel is worthwhile and creates value or is otherwise interesting. I can't work a corporate job for long, I'll get fired and become depressed. I do best with disparate, hard, and novel tasks that don't require me to be anywhere for any particular time. That isn't always sustainable though, so I've started grading my days to hold myself accountable towards tasks I don't want to do, so I can get better at that. That's in short. I've been fired or laid off from 6 or 7 jobs, but can think through complex reasoning tasks pretty well and easily fixate on tough theoretical problems that are approachable for my background. I'm extremely ambitious and aim for hard stuff, so I'd like to find a way to leverage that more.

If they’re missing basic problems like this the solution is not more telemetry, the solution is qa. Not even better qa, just start with basic qa. Because right now they’re just doing nothing and treating their paying customers as alpha testers. I don’t quite understand why people accept it.

Junk Mail: Porn and Peloton (Not Safe for Work or Our Kitchen) – UnMarketing
Disclaimer: Huge personal hunch, might be down-voted to hell for writing this...

I think that languages like this don't go mainstream because people like/want to write code, and anything that does not help to actually write code is seen as an hindrance. The main feedback I've heard about this kind of tool is "it's clunky, it's a pain to write code with". Guess what ? It's a good thing IMO.

For this to go mainstream, the whole software industry would have to go through a major revolution by shifting its focus from "writing code" to "deliver a working product". We should acknowledge that "writing code" is one tool among others, and may be not even the primary one (I personally think that specification engineering is the most important one).

In the field of critical embedded software, this has happened that's why it took off.

Another clue of that is for instance the Event-B/Atelier B that is intensively used in the railway/metro world (Paris line 14 was made with it, 2 bugs found in 15 years). While doing B, you get a broad specification you refine along the way into smaller problems. Writing code is actually the last step you do, when you are sure that all pieces fit together.

I don’t agree. It’s easier to change job now than it has ever been in history. That’s undeniable. You’re not bound by the jobs in your local area the way people were 50 years ago. Between remote work and the gig economy it’s safer than ever to quit a bad job and pick up temporary work in the meantime.
I think we should all just say "toilet". Of course that was a euphemism originally (indirectly from French "toile"), but I think it's the closest we have to a neutral term at the moment. Unless we go for "excrementarium"

Could you please elaborate a bit, which part of the language you think half baked?
And yet the current American president is renowned the world over for using unusually direct and simple language.

'Americans are straightfoward' to me has always meant that when a large group of Americans decide what to do they'll fight it out in public with big, well defined interest groups coalescing around well broadcast opinions. Very transparent. No real nuance at the strategic level; usually simple opinions like 'more money to X' or 'we want a Y' (although often quite a sophisticated execution). Generally clear why people believe what they do. Compare that to the traditional British approach where there is a lot more emphasis on silly pageantry and maintaining dignity in public, like the basic fundamental absurdity of pretending a monarch is somehow more worthy than any other. Americans literally wouldn't stand for pretending that unless they were making money off it somehow.

For all the complicated details of politeness in the small, Americans in large groups are generally crystal clear about what they do and do not like.

Well, generally, when you grab your phone, you're going to have your thumb/finger close to the TouchID button anyway.

Furthermore, having your phone flat on the table and just wanting to peak at it is a major and common use case I'm anybody can relate to. I'm fine with FaceID but definitely regard it as a step back and the cases where I can't use FaceID or it has failed easily outnumber situations where I couldn't use TouchID.

L7 at Google here (joined as L3 right out of university).

Having feedback from L+1 or +2 peers is very important, otherwise it can be very hard for the committee to judge performance.

Actually "leading" a project less so - often a single "project" can be viewed as multiple components / projects for promo purposes, what counts (depending on level) is initiative, leadership, and technical contributions. It's not necessary to be the formal lead of a big project for this purpose, but rather for your senior peers to attest how well you did in those areas and how it helped the project launch X months faster, improved QPS by X or whatever metric.

As pointed out in other comments, it can be hard for the committee to see impact, so the more hard evidence you have (before/after resource usage, bugs fixed, etc) the better. Same for improving the codebase, document and show the evidence!

Ballerina does NOT force you to write "visually". You can write normal code and NEVER look at a picture.

However, after you're done, if to see the flow of your entire program (not just one function) as a sequence diagram then you can get that done.

The language syntax is "normal" syntax and has all the power o a modern language. Try it and see- feedback welcome.

> 1) Walmart (or other) companies pay so low wages that employees are eligible for food stamps or other subsidies.

How would you compare that to simply not offering the job at all?

For a lot of low paying jobs, that’s the deal. Asking a company to pay more for labor than said labor increases profits is unreasonable. These jobs just largely wouldn’t be offered.

The same people would still end up on subsidies and don’t get any work experience. I’d argue it’s a worse result.

I was in 3rd grade on 9/11. I remember walking into class from the bus and a classmate saying that a plane hit a building in New York.

Being 8 I didn't really have an idea what that meant, but when they started sending us all home not a half hour after arriving at school we all knew something bad was happening, they were following the same procedure as when they had advanced warning of dangerous weather (Illinois). My dad had just got home from long business trip the night before and was taking the day off and my mom was a stay at home mom. Both were sleeping in and were blissfully ignorant of the whole thing until I got back. We watched the news for hours after that, and it may have been one of the first times I'd heard about 'War.'
That area in the late 1800s and early 1900s is in my top 3 destinations for when I get my time machine.
This resonates with my recent experience. I'm Indian, but I live in Europe, and during a recent trip to the US, I was amazed by how easy going the people were. I was able to have nice conversations with random locals. From a nice uncle spontaneously telling us about the history of Santa Cruz to a stranger helping us park the car properly in SF, to jolly waiters in restaurants, it all felt very human. I find it quite hard to make small talk in European cities. I used to think it's the language barrier, but I realize now that it might be more than that.
There's a bit of a directness/politeness spectrum, and even in the US there are different places on the spectrum, with the Northeast being more direct, the West and South being more polite. I would say we're not nearly as polite as the English--who can often get away with completely insulting an American without the American ever realizing it--but we're also not Dutch :)
"How's it going?" when used as a greeting, is typically only used in brief interactions, like passing someone in the hallway.

In a longer conversation, there are numerous phrases (including "How are you?") which, combined with the fact that the conversation is extended (i.e. you are both sitting at a table, or haven't seen each other in awhile) are universally assumed to mean that the person wants to know "how you are." It's a sort of game that one does subconsciously.

I can see how it appears to be nonsensical and random, but there is definitely a method to the madness, and I wouldn't say that American people care less about asking people how they are.
Re English.

Besides, we still have a long way to go educating users just how easy it is to accidentally share content to wider audiences than intended, if only because one of the intended recipients can copy and redistribute everything so easily. This is a point that I believe most people are still oblivious to and we need to remind them continuously if we want to foster a better understanding of privacy in the digital age.
Nothing revolutionizing happened.

The scale of things aren't a wow factor. Just compare the scale of something to 10 years ago and that to 20 years ago. The growth rate would have been the same.
Oh, that's a fun example. ("Fun", anyway.)

The key surprising thing that's going on here is this clever hack (clever, but a hack):

> In Python, file names, command line arguments, and environment variables are represented using the string type. On some systems, decoding these strings to and from bytes is necessary before passing them to the operating system. Python uses the file system encoding to perform this conversion ...
>
> On some systems, conversion using the file system encoding may fail. In this case, Python uses the surrogateescape encoding error handler, which means that undecodable bytes are replaced by a Unicode character U+DCxx on decoding, and these are again translated to the original byte on encoding.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#file-names-command...

This is meant as a way of fudging the fact that
(a) for UI purposes, you want to treat filenames as text strings;
(b) your Linux filenames are probably all encoded as UTF-8 (or your locale encoding);
(c) but they might not be -- they could be arbitrary bytes, except only NUL;
(d) and if they are, you really want to not munge the name when you go back and try to operate on the file.

The fudge is that filenames get decoded as (by default) UTF-8... but if invalid, the offending bytes get stuffed into the UTF-16 surrogate space. Then filesystem APIs encode as UTF-8, except they look for that surrogate hack and turn those to the original bytes, so it all round-trips.

It goes pretty wrong if you try to hand such a hacked-up string to something that just expects to encode normal real Unicode with UTF-8, though. That's what's happening in your example.

The magic words are `os.fsdecode` -- that's how you get back bytes round-trip clean from that hack.
I'm a big fan of the GDPR and it certainly improved things over here across the pond, but "pass a GDPR clone" isn't something that leads to progress. There's a lot of stuff that can be improved about the GDPR, and there are a lot of other options as well -- for example, in this case, the US could choose to extend the coverage of HIPAA regulations (or a subset of them) to commercial entities selling health-related services, not just medical providers. This would also have the advantage of requiring less legal effort and it would avoid introducing an entirely new framework.

The GDPR is a very broad axe, for an organization that isn't a federation and doesn't have a real federal government, the way the US does. The US has legal options and a legal framework that we don't have.

I'm the founder of WSO2 which developed Ballerina. Also the person who started the project and lead it.

WSO2 is an enterprise software product company with 500+ customers in 70+ countries and 600 employees globally.

We promoted Ballerina like that because we are proud of the work we do and wanted to show it off to people. You may not like the work we produce but trying to say its to get "consultancy work in India" is rather racist.
> Can't tell if you're deliberately being disingenuous or if you just don't know,

Neither.

Your reply is quite insidious and illustrates my comment perfectly.
There's no evidence the passengers suicided. They were attempting to save themselves. There was a struggle in the cockpit, and the aircraft crashed. It may even have been that the terrorists crashed the plane when they realized they weren't going to make it to their target.

This meme is unhealthy, and disrepectful to the fallen.
Americans who think of themselves as straightforward and direct and honest are usually thinking of themselves in comparison to other Anglophone cultures. Since very few of us speak German or go to Germany, we wouldn't know how direct they are anyway.
Choosing not to use a middleman any more so that you can secure higher margins sounds like about clearest example of a "legitimate business reason" imaginable. The purpose of the act is to immediately increase your margins, not to hurt Deliveroo because you don't want their competition.

That's very different from the case in question, where LinkedIn's motive for cutting off hiQ's access is to inflict damage on hiQ because they are a potential competitor.
That sounds fun; I wished I could have played that.

For people who want to experience some of the same thrill, try watching FailRace’s “Survive the Hunt” series on YouTube, in which he plays Grand Theft Auto V in a lobby with his fans. He is given a head-start to drive away from the group in his car, then he has to switch to a random vehicle and pretend to be one of the many AI cars. After a few minutes a swarm of 15 or so hunters comb the city looking for anyone out of place. The videos get more exciting when they see FailRace and he has to lose them, despite all of the hunters being in voice contact. It’s not the ideal version of this kind of game, because FailRace only goes on foot when he has no other option, but it is still fun to watch.

The playlist is https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHw7hcztgbtslirPWPBL4.... That playlist isn’t complete for some reason; search FailRace’s other videos for “Survive the Hunt” to find the rest.

Your original comment read:

>They aren't alleging anything accused here.

>One of epstein's victims said that they were directed to offer minsky sex. That's it. They didn't say they did offer it (though a third party did). They didn't say they had sex. They didn't say Minsky or other guests knew they were underage, or that minsky knew they were involved in prostitution.

>Beyond repeated proximity to epstein there has been no specific allegation of wrongdoing by Minsky that I've seen, but there seems to be plenty in the imaginations of the posters here.

>Maybe it turns out those things happened but if they had you would expect them to have been mentioned in the allegations. Until they're at least alleged, however, I think it's pretty absurd to just assume them.

Yes, it's quite bad but at least these days they can't be overtly racist. Look at the American anti-China campaign in the 50s and 60s, it was appalling.
Thanks, I totally missed this piece of news and have fallen to bias myself! I gave up monitoring Al Quds day in 2018 after making a complaint to the BBC that got a boilerplate response. I just don't have the time or the resources to do anything about it.

The open support for Hezbollah was there in 2018 and in previous years... but from 2019 the reports I've read, it seems like the police enforced the new law. I would need to make a freedom of information request with the police to see if there were any arrests to verify this.
They really should explain the motivation in the main site instead of just expecting me to download and experiment.

I took "loo" to be from "gardy loo", which in turn is a corruption from the French "gardez l'eau", meaning "watch out down there, I'm tipping this bucket out of the window".

So "loo" would be from "l'eau", meaning "water"; so possibly "water closet", or WC, a.k.a. crapper.
By every measure, the terrorists accomplished their goals and won.
Cultures that differ the most from author’s require most context to be understood by author? Hardly surprising.

Like others have mentioned, this is an apple vs orange comparison. Ruby & Rails is not the same as NodeJS. A popular framework which you probably used with NodeJS is Express, that as its documentation states tries to be a minimal framework for creating NodeJS servers. I agree that something like Rails has its own benefits, but I can't really take seriously this type of complaining when it's directed at the wrong thing. You're complaining about frameworks, not NodeJS the runtime. And NodeJS is not fixed to some specific framework that forces you to do things in one way. And thank god for that.

There was some initial burden I admit with NodeJS but I have at least got to the productive plateau (with TypeScript). Once you figure out the pattern that works for you, it gets simpler. The inventing part is what drives most developers crazy, and it did for me too. It's perhaps too non-restrictive but well, hopefully there's somebody in your company showing you the right way. And you don't want to install every basic package by hand? But have them already included? You understand that adds quite a bit of bloat to projects that have no need for eg CORS or body-parser. And "code hacked together" is only a problem with bad programmers, you can get working and secure code with NodeJS, it just needs thought put into it. And yes, Rails has advantage with this but I think you made that argument clear.

Instead of making the argument "NodeJS is bad" you should aim that at the frameworks of NodeJS. SailJS was a good attempt at Rails but it's way too restrictive with its patterns (and sadly the documentation is not good). Deno looks promising and I hope people will be building better frameworks on top of that.
Yeah sorry .. the styling on examples https://v1-0.ballerina.io/learn/by-example/ might be a bit much.

Even if we stop fossil fuels tomorrow oil is here to stay. How long would it take to develop new aircraft? How long would it take to stop all industries from using plastic, and all agriculture from using petrochemical fertilizer?

Not all governments are in on some grand conspiracy. Many governments would greatly benefit. But to make the switch now would mean severe damage to their economy and wellbeing. Even medicine relies heavily on petrochemicals inside and outside of the hospital.

Even if a country chooses to sacrifice itself to benefit the common good, it might not be enough to affect actual environmental change.
