For what it may be worth: In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes/formerly called Mormons), the vast majority of leaders are unpaid. Leaders of congregations aka "wards" (bishops) or groups of congregations aka "stakes" (stake presidents), or area authority seventies (who at least sometimes lead or help lead groups of stakes, if I understand), are all unpaid.

In part this works because there are many others at the local levels who have significant responsibitilities for different things. It is common for at least the bishops and stake presidents to spend 20-30 hours/week serving in those roles. They are "called" (assigned) for usually 5 and 9 years, respectively, then released. (I imagine similarly for the area authority seventies and members of temple presidencies (3-5 years?) Missionaries (or their families or others who help) also pay for their own support. Mission presidents (3 years, full-time in an assigned part of the world) usually support themselves from their savings (I think; I know at least sometimes) though housing is (usually? always?) provided, then they go back to their other employment.

The Church tries to do the same internally that they advise members: avoiding debt and having some savings, living w/in available means, saving for things in advance instead of getting loans. For family finances, it emphasizes things like getting education, avoiding debt, savings for unforeseen events, giving an honest day's work for an honest day's pay, paying tithing which results in noticeable blessings, etc. Tithing supports construction projects, publishing, and other Church expenses, and the monthly fast, giving 2 meals' cost or more to the poor, goes 100% to the poor, as do other donations to humanitarian aid etc (which is used worldwide, including major collaborative work with other churches). No plate is passed during meetings, but there are donation envelopes in a small box in a hallway that anyone can pick up (edit: to mail or hand in); only 3 people in the ward, none in the stake etc., are authorized to accept the returned envelopes (or regular donations can be made online). I am under the impression that taxed business income pays the living stipends of a limited # of top leaders (such as the apostles, with global responsibilities), but it is less than they would usually make or in some cases much less than they did make in their previous employment. That has been written about elsewhere.

(edit: weddings in a temple, and weddings or receptions, funerals, etc etc in a local ward building are free, run also by volunteers. Sometimes family reunions too, I think, and of course local social activities.)

(edit: All this is uniform, world-wide. Also I think I read that it doesn't accept ~"ecclesiastical tax" money, even if/where it would be allowed.)
This is good. It opens a real discussion about the issue at hand.
It was supposed to be the replacement for the Mac Pro, once they decided to resurrect the Mac Pro it becomes redundant.
I don't think it's fair to say React hooks are optimising for writability, even if they are much shorter, but modularity. While lifecycle methods are 'obvious and straightforward', they often spread related functionality across multiple different functions, which can be more easily grouped together with hooks. And if you have similar lifecycle-based functionality that needs to be shared between multiple components, you end up with a variety of not-great solutions, whereas that is simple with hooks.

That's not to say hooks aren't without a downside, it is more to learn, with a different mental model, and their own edge cases. But having used hooks exclusively for a larger project, I couldn't imagine going back to lifecycle methods.

That is so very well stated I want to highlight it! Thanks for putting it so succinctly.

Thanks for the update from the Thought Police! I'll be sure to welcome my new foreign neighbors (and the higher incidences of crime and rape they bring) to my traditionally European country with open arms.

Naturally, the only flawed ethnic or religious group is white Christians, and to not welcome globalist-engineered colonization through immigration is a "far-right" political stance. Naturally.

I think so.

Aisle lets you get up anytime you want, but also forces you to get up twice as much as the middle seat. But mainly in the middle seat you never have to be afraid of people bumping into you, which affects you for most of the flight.
So, my first thought is that I completely agree with you, that the complex supply chain to produce weapons and the interconnected-ness of modern economies is so great that any war would have to be fought and won in a matter of months before both sides collapse. But my second thought is that people said the exact same thing right before WW1. I think we underestimate our ability to adapt to changing circumstances. If I had to guess, we would see the a change in the focus of research on cruise missiles and precision-guided weapons to focus on making them cheap to create with what resources are available.

For me, music is often the lesser of two evils compared to the background noise of the open office or the noise of the conversation going on in my own head. It also gives me a happiness fix which helps me not burn out and distract myself in other ways.

For me, it really depends on my mood and what I'm working on which type of music is appropriate. Some days it's rap and the flood of words doesn't get in the way even. Other days it has to be instrumental bluegrass or similar.
Right, but as a matter of business policy. I'm speaking as a matter of legal precedent. (Which may be applicable in this case, just not explicitly stated.)

https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-t...

Look at the third answer down. The figures I cited earlier were based on about half that mileage per year, so that comes out to 2.3t. Lots of unit confusion here, but I think those both end up being metric tons and the daily commute is already worse than monthly air travel. Maybe that's all wrong, but the point I'm trying to focus on is that the need for regular long-distance travel severely erodes the environmental value of letting people work from home.

Not sure if Linux excels on this globally, but I have an elderly relative doing all their email, web browsing and basic docs on a 2003 IBM Thinkpad running Lubuntu 16.04, with basically zero issues. Everything, including the old ATI X300 graphics card, worked out of the box.

I also have a younger relative using a 2008 Dell d630 for all his schoolwork, running Ubuntu 16.04. Again, the old Nvidia Quadro worked out of the box.

Model-Based Reinforcement Learning: Theory and Practice

It’s easy to rag on Intel, but the market changed for them pretty fundamentally. Customers ultimately rule.

On the server side, big hyperscale datacenter customers have large, narrow purchase patterns. They are upending the market — ask around and figure out how many HPE or Dell CEs are still around servicing servers these days.

On the client side, similar patterns exist at a smaller scale. At the higher end Apple probably does 90% of their Intel business with like 10 SKUs. At the lower end, there’s a huge demand for cheap, and many companies skipped refresh cycles.

This was impactful imo as the old ways of dealing with manufacturing issues (sell underclocked parts, etc) are harder when Amazon has prepaid for 30 million units of SKU x.
ICBMs are hardly more useful in modern conflicts, given they are never deployed. A 9mm is quite often deployed, but lets get quantitative over coffee.

Option 1:

- ICBM: 3e2 kg warhead [1] to 1.1e6m at cost of 3.3e4 kg launch vehicle mass [2]

- KE > 3e2 * 1.1e6 * g

- T ~ 1800 s per shot

- R1 > (3e2 * 1.1e6 * g) / (3.3e4 * 1800 )

- R1 > 5.556 g ~ 54.48

Option 2:

- 9mm: 300 J, ~1kg launch vehicle mass [3]

- KE = 300J

- T ~ .5s per shot

- R2 ~ (300) / (.5 * 1 )

- R2 ~ 600

Comparing, the 9mm outperforms the ICBM by this measure according to my under-caffeinated math and googling (please check). But they are suprisingly close. ICBMs are optimized for the longest tail of reach, rather than a nice tradeoff of fire rate, carry weight, throw weight, etc, so this roughly makes sense. Also we should consider the roughly 40 years difference in design and deployment of the two systems, which may remove the order of magnitude advantage of the 9mm. Not also, we've ignored the lateral velocity of the ICBM.

> I can assume flip-flops would be a case of underdressing but I think that would be a bit ridiculous for any kind of interview regardless.

That's what I said in my comment but would anyone reasonably show up like that in an interview? A suit may or may not be overdressing but flip-flops or anything like that would definitely fall below just "underdressing". It would just be unreasonable and offensive if you ask me (and you could give any number of such examples that may be even worse).

For all intents and purposes jeans and sneakers already is the lowest reasonably acceptable way to dress for an interview, right?
No, it isn't, it is the only sane advice you will get. We are turning into a country where your first action should always be, stay quiet and call a lawyer first.

1. Police and prosecutor will pull your records anyway, they generally look at spouse and people close to you first regardless of your innocence.
2. If this is the only evidence they have on your guilt, then you're likely to win on appeal if the jury is insane enough to find your guilt based on zero evidence.
I have the benefit of dual perspectives, having lived my first 30 years in the US (California) and my most recent 7 here in Ireland.

Ireland and the US are both quite auto-dependent. Commute times are similar

44% is only true if looking at the broadest possible definition of Dublin, and most of those places are not well-served by transit, bike infra, etc.

Most people do it by car, too, though not quite as many as the US (63%) https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cp6ci/p6c...

The US is indeed low density, but this is generally _because_ it's built around vehicles, not because the country is big. The older cities were built before cars and exhibit pretty high densities.

The density of the country as a whole doesn't really matter, anyway. After all, it's not like someone said "we just added Alaska as a state, let's start downzoning Los Angeles for lower density".

"Offsetting greenhouse gas use in Ireland by working from home or a shared workspace may well be a workable proposition in Dublin, but it's a complete impossibility in the US"

This is surprising considering how many of my colleagues work remotely from the US.

Actually, some of the deprecated methods on Date are broken. If you have a Date representing the wrong date and invoke the wrong sequence of deprecated methods, you can end up with Exceptions. Admittedly, the only such bug I'm aware of affects only dates before October 15th, 1582.

Sad times, I really like nginx. Maybe its time for nginy a web server developed in an extradition proof country with strong privacy protection and shell company laws. I could imagine saying that in jest but as these things get more common (a non-equivalent other than power imbalance story is the Apple suing its employee for starting a server chip company) its going to take a lot of planning to develop something and "keep" control of it.

After having gone through this, I now disagree.

There are a vast many things in which I am not an expert. The pick and choose / compose your libraries / lego approach sounds great until your trying to weigh different options (of which none seem to have a wide enough install base to be truly battle tested).

Is buddy/buddy-auth the way to go for security? Or is it Friend? The former seems to receive more recommendations as of late, whereas the latter has more activity on github. These are not the problems I want to be solving when building something.

I love the language, but the quality of Clojure's web ecosystem is... questionable.

If I were to build another webapp in Clojure, I think I'd just use something widely installed like Jersey for actually interfacing with the outside world. It'll be crufty Java, but it has nice things like StackOverflow activity, massive docs, giant userbase, etc.. etc..
Data centers absolutely care about power usage.
Agreed - I used VISSIM for some work in a university transportation research lab, and it was very interesting after learning how to use it - but both expensive and very intricate to learn. It even supports other types of transportation, like rail networks. It would be great to have a simplified version or some kind of middle ground to help people understand these complex systems.

The function given to useEffect will be fired after a successful _commit_ (aka React actually manipulates the DOM after a render).

Here's a helpful diagram that shows the difference between render and commit phases in terms of the class lifecycle methods: http://projects.wojtekmaj.pl/react-lifecycle-methods-diagram...

So when a render executes useEffect with a callback (and values in its dependency array has changed), it will schedule the callback to be run once React has committed the DOM changes based on the current render.
Well if you go with a $10 shirt people won't care though.

I agree Honda can deny access to the data, but they shouldn't be able to deny the information needed to interface with his car via a 3rd party system instead.
Is the cloning of the chip actually necessary if the POS device is a swipe only unit? It is amazing how many retailers/vendors still do not accept chip. My current debit card is chip enabled, and works fine using the chip. However, it is now old enough that the mag stripe is worn off enough that the swipe only readers cannot read the information. I'm constantly being asked if I have another card to use. I always sarcastically ask if they have a different POS device to use that is modern with a chip reader.
At this point, vim is hindering progress. While they finally compied almost all of additional features of neovim, there is no sense of innovation and progress there and unfortunately the diff with neovim is right now minimal so neovim loses contributors that would otherwise be

I'm very much like you describe yourself. There are only a few very ambient musical tracks to which I can do concentrated work while hearing. Interestingly, I can't even do that much on the first listening of them. It's only when I've heard them a bunch of times and they are already familiar. Then my brain can focus on other things. However, even in that case, my sense is there is still a cognitive 'tax' going on. I don't get as much done or think as deeply even with familiar ambient music.

I also can't have the radio on in my car if I plan to actually think. It's hard for me to even imagine how people are able to concentrate with active music playing or, worse, a television show running in the room. I'm always reminded how different I am every time I stay at one of those hotels that has a communal free breakfast area. They invariably have TVs tuned to those 'happy babble' morning talk shows and most people seem to have no problem working, reading, or carrying on a conversation with it running constantly into their brain.

Apparently, some of us are just made differently. I have an occasional multi-hour drive I need to do and I will sometimes listen to music, a good podcast or an audiobook but I'm actively listening to it. Most often though I drive in complete silence and just think. Some of my friends are surprised by this and can't imagine just sitting in silence that long. However, I love it.

> I hate the anti-suit thing in SV. Suits look great, you feel great wearing a good tailored suit...

Tailored suit? Seriously? Does that not smell like luxury? Why is that part of the discussion for workplace uniform?

A college student wearing a hoodie given for free by TripleByte doesn't look bad at the world's largest software firm. If you wear a t-shirt I cannot tell if you graduated from Stanford. But if you're a young man aiming for the Big 5 accounting world, your friends would advise you to own a battle wardrobe.

Wearing a bad suit is embarrassing, and people at the upper echelons of the company almost always have better suits. It is a smell of class.

The employer has an incentive to reduce commute times - when I was talking to recruiters I had a hard "_MUST_ be within a 30 minute walk, on a light rail line, pay X more, or 100% wfh" requirement. X was, for the market, a pretty high number.
