I have had experience with someone who wanted to do this and it didn't go well. A subject matter expert wanted to be team leader because that's what he thought career progress was. Within a few weeks the team collapsed.

Creativity, unconventional thinking, hyperfocus etc is required as support to conventional leaders more than in being leaders. It's not just about improving communication. You have to be much more social, political, be good at handling stress, people have to want to work for you etc and you have to do it competing against experienced people for who that stuff is natural.

The way ahead maybe to think up a role that fits your strengths and then pitch it to higher ups, more than trying to fit into roles that are conventional. Just remember that conventional roles haven't been designed with your strengths in mind.
Not to diminish the effort, but the use case for this can only be a role that requires a ton of snippet handling, which inherently means you are doing something wrong as a programmer (imho). Once you get to a point where you are regularly using snippets a lot, writing some automated script is the next step, not a tool that makes it easier to copy/paste.

It may be "not as disruptive" for sure, but since I began to use night light mode both on my phone and laptop, I began to fall asleep in 10-15 minutes after going to bed. Also I use warm light LEDs intstead of cold ones.
Of all the possible audio quality brands to use in comparison, you chose Bose.

My experience with AirPods has been that everything is great until it's not. Pairing and checking battery is super slick, just open the case near the phone — until, for no discernable reason it doesn't work.

They work perfectly 95% of the time, but that 5% I'm doing the dance of closing the AirPods case multiple times, hovering the case all over the phone, unlocking/re-locking until it decides to work again. This was the case on my 6s and 11. No feedback or errors, just frustration. My friends also enjoy their AirPods but acknowledge my experience isn't out of the ordinary.

At the gym packed with people using AirPods, my pair will sometimes cut, for just a split second, and is a constant reminder that I'm using bluetooth. I'm not disputing that the overall experience isn't better with AirPods, because it definitely is, but for me it hasn't been as smooth as promised. Especially at the cost of my headphone jack.
It does grow quite a bit. Sometimes I go through the whole file and take out things which I've finished. I haven't found this to be much of a problem.
That's just wishful thinking. No manufacturers would release any devices with this OS for the following reasons:

Phones are commodity devices where volumes have to be high and costs low.

The big manufacturers that have the resources to make and sell something like this at scale(i.e. Samsung) want you tied in their ecosystem instead.

Maybe some niche manufacturer could make a device with this via crowdfunding but the price would be too high for such a low volume as the niche of techies this would be aimed at are savvy enough to flash it themselves on an older phone for free.
AFAIK video decoding generally has its own chip, at least for supported codecs, separate from the GPU.
DockerCon 2020 moves from Austin, TX to a “virtual event”
On a similar note to this article I have always wondered what would happen if we try male an artificial neural network out of actual neurones. Last time I looked this up it was infeasible due to practical limitations (neurones get infected, apoptose and behaviours change in artificial environments), but it could lead to an interesting semi-‘artificial’ intelligence using the algorithms of biology. It would also raise (even more) interesting ethical questions about the boundaries of slavery and rights of artificial
Biological neural networks.
I agree, blue light, close by (so my monitor more than the TV) does make me feel more awake. Could be placebo, could be trained behavior (as in red light makes my body think sleep), could be that this study is not transferable to humans. Or any combination of these :) I'll happily stay with f.lux :)

No one's saying that you should trust "blindly". The whole point of having a "hostile" warning when encountering a self-signed cert is protecting the user from impersonation attacks. But if you've established trust in other ways (such as by verifying the cert via an out-of-band channel, or because you set it up yourself) TOFU should be available.
I definitely saw it in the English music paper, the New Musical Express, in the late `70s (very Punk at the time), I remember having to look it up ...
Garmin have something like this inbuilt with their motorcycle satnavs: https://support.garmin.com/en-GB/?faq=AUicnXyboc23l3uop2e7oA

Used it around lots of Western & Central Europe. It's great most of the time.
Somewhat related - I _love_ the fact that MacOS still maps Ctrl-H to backspace.

I recently started instinctively using it as a backspace when typing (finally, thanks to a combination of laziness and vim). I'm finding it extremely comfortable (alongside xcape). Highly recommend trying it, especially if you're a Mac user.
Everyone assumes things that aren't true, not just "junior" data scientists. There is not standard methodology for non gaussian non independent random variables.
I used to mod an active subreddit and I saw this type of thing all the time. Once a post hits the front page or a comment gets gilded, the majority will just assume it's factual and will run with it. If anything it was kind of scary to see how easy people can be manipulated.
As someone else said the company types you mentioned all are tech oriented and probably have devs who have internal processes already developed or in process of being developed if it's something they need.

Even if you tell your idea 99% of people won't do anything with it. If they do yours could still be implemented better and beat them or you could still beat them to market, or there could be a big enough market everyone can fit.

E.g there are like 10 uptime monitoring apps on indiehackers doing >3k mrr. Very simple function, tons of profitable competitors.

My advice is just say what it is you want to build and get actual feedback on the whole concept, you might even uncover better features by getting insight. Don't be afraid of people stealing your ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen, successful startups are 1 attempt out of 99.
And you don't think they've replaced it with a similar program?

I personally think telling the public the program was shut down and didn't have great results could easily be a red herring.

Truth be told - if there was a lot of success from Psyops programs, and you were the US military, would you want a lot of people to know?

Not arguing your perspective isn’t valid, just sharing my own.

From the Wikipedia article it seems to state that the armed men were in an area where shooting had come from before and were in the path of oncoming soldiers.

And in terms of loading injured people, the enemy does pick up their own injured. My understanding is unless you’re clearly marked as medical personnel, you’ll be regarded as hostile.

Can clearly see where the concern comes from, but at least my own perspective is that it’s not that unusual in war.
I hate Facebook. For its user tracking practices, their attention hacking, and their UX is terrible too. I only use Facebook because others post events on it, and I can't convince these people to use open alternatives.

How can you feel proud about such a product?

PS: Yesterday I got an email from Facebook saying that I had 4 messages waiting for me. I opened the app, it showed a little balloon with "4" in it. I clicked it, and there were no messages ... sigh.
I think you pasted the wrong URL, Austen.
> No manufacturers would release any devices with this OS

PinePhone has one-upped /e/ and is releasing a competitively-priced device with mainline Linux support (not just AOSP)! It absolutely is a possibility.
Why has cheap KVM-consoles for phones never taken off? It seems like a great way to get a portable/inexpensive laptop experience. Judging by the relative success of Chromebooks, it would appear to be a ripe segment. And the performance of any mid to high tier phone is more than enough for the casual laptop user.

As mentioned in the article:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andromium/the-superbook...
what do you do with the intial "loading" screen? I would prefer if my app didn't need that.
Thanks so much for writing this, it's really valuable. I'm so glad I donated to f.lux, it's the first program I install on anything.
Great post! What tool(s) did you use for the drawings?
>> I imagine they might not have completely given up on the idea

I also imagine if they would, they wouldn't exactly want that to be public knowledge.

It's important to remember the military is years ahead of the rest of us, tech-wise.

I can't imagine, really, the amount of crazy shit we're not supposed to see.
I have a Trello board for each project. On each board, there are five lists - Backlog, Bugs, Staging, Completed and Won't Do.

Everything starts on the Backlog (or Bugs) list and migrates to either Completed or Won't Fix over time.

Perhaps it should be. Keeping only the genuine interested engaged and a high bar of entry, we end up with only the competent actually pursuing a career in chemistry. Similarly, front-end development and javascript was (and is) not boring and look at where we are now. Nobody should be complaining that <insert branch of science where if you fuck up people die> is boring.
Science does advance one funeral at a time
This has existed (at scale, not just experimental prototypes) for over 10 years. I can't recommend anything in particular as I don't use it myself, but the very first search term I tried ("online jamming") turned up some useful leads. Direct integration with DAWs seems quite easy to set up nowadays.
I use this in three ways:
To stream from MPD, to stream from a DLNA renderer (gmrender-resurrect) and to stream from Pulseaudio. It is generally great, but the audio from Pulseaudio is not working well, quality-wise.
The one remaining problem is sometimes that podcasts that I stream via DLNA plays much too fast. Seems to depend on circumstances in the podcast stream.
How does the medical establishment benefit from not curing your illness?
300 million a month only works out to around 115 a second. The API has been optimized a lot. We could probably handle 2x the traffic we are currently getting before needing to upgrade the server.

We do have paid accounts now but it doesn’t amount to a ton, around $440MRR.

I hesitated adding paid accounts for a long time because it cost so little to run but the ad revenue was alright.

Lots of niche markets out there, but my at revenue did take a long, slow path over 8 years to get to this point.

How many people do you know who have heard of or will buy a device called PinePhone?

And that's the problem right there.

Hell, even the people who work in cybersecurity don't give two shits about this. I'm in this gig and phones are IOS across the board.
Another thing that isn't perfect but could help is doing a search of package contents of a large distro, e.g. here's a search of Debian for packages that provide a file called "node": https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keyword...
Ah, all the better. So the day is neutral/cool or quite cool (direct or indirect) and the evening is warm or that twilight blue which https://www.flickr.com/photos/bob_81667/25663810348 is just the same indirect thing but darker?

Would seem like coolish is any time of day depending on brightness, but warm is definitely evening.

There's an astounding amount of nonsense popularized in mass media where they take the results of these studies and promote it as the gospel truth, without noting the caveats - tiny sample size, only studied in mice, effect sizes, etc, etc. By the time the game of telephone has relayed the story to the public via the local TV news puff piece, it has been distorted so heavily that it becomes complete nonsense.
MCD - McDonalds will manage to eke out a small gain over the decade, and be the winner of the 2020's.

Following a recession, all new investors will panic and withdraw all their money and keep it out for years. They didn't know the market could be down two years in a row. Boomers reach a phase in their lives where they are only taking money out of the stock market, and spending it on Chinese goods. Inflation picks up, and smart money moves from stocks to gold and then bonds. This combination will lead to one of the worst decades for stocks since the great depression. 2028 and 2029 sees money starting to go back into the market. But the decade as a whole sees low gains.

But even in a recession, people still treat themselves by eating out at McDonalds and their new $5 Keto menu.
Thank you! I wasn't aware there were even downvotes, so I didn't think of that as a possibility.

Our Tesla Model 3 Suffered a Failure While Parked
Doesn't matter what I think; only thing which matters is if there is proof of such, or clues which lead to a hypothesis that such exists. Feel free to share such.

The way it went in history is that the US started with it to bait the USSR into spending money into a worthless project (which succeeded). Then, the US replied to that with "what if it is real?" There was still a lot of belief in "the paranormal" back then; nowadays we know much more about the techniques behind paranormal scam artists.

I've seen various documentaries on these programs (including about remote viewing and Ingo Swann [1], a scientologist), and from my memory the results of these programs were lackluster. Sure, there were some hits, as there are hits with cold reading and guessing.

I think you're right in the simple case, and they're not _currently_ doing something nefarious, but I also think it takes one creative product manager one day to decide they will directly sell that data, and most people will be too invested by that point
All of that may be true - but seems crazy that your first choice for a letter of recommendation was someone who you had a vague inkling that they didn't like you.

Shouldn't you start with someone who you know - or at least have the vague inkling - that likes you?
Yeah that probably would've been better this seems like a nightmare to navigate as well. I mean as a developer is a git commit an item, a jira ticket, a full app/mvp, or something else? Or does this not apply to development?

Not living in California though this might be a boon for devs in nearby States.
I always blamed white coat syndrome for not wanting to be in hospitals. A couple years ago I had to visit an ER for some people who were in a highway collision. They were just bruised but one of them had a vital sign the doctors didn't like so they were holding him for observation, to try to figure out if it was new or existing condition.

One bay over, more than a dozen people were consulting on a kid who fell out of a high window. When someone volunteered me to take their kids home so they could stay, I'm not even sure I finished my whole sentence before leaving. Pretty much gone in a puff of dust like a Warner Brothers cartoon.

Hospitals are full of hurt people. Some of them are never going home. Sometimes they know it. Sometimes the family knows it. I'm now pretty sure it's not the people in the hospital I have a problem with. It's what's happening around them and to them.
Out of curiosity, I grabbed a copy of the repository and did some basic searching.

$ egrep -icr "\bTODO\b" * | tr ':' '\t' > ../todos
$ cat ../todos | awk '{sum+=$2;} END{print sum}'

So roughly 18% are in Documentation. The biggest culprit is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin... , because user-ret-profiler appears to only support x86. All other architectures are in as TODOs

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_n.c 54

The biggest single-file culprit for TODOs is in the broadcom b43 drivers, https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/lin.... From what I can clean from phy_n.c, it looks like it's because the linux kernel can't handle revision 19. There's a lot like:

if (dev->phy.rev >= 19) {
/* TODO */
} ...

or

static void b43_nphy_tx_cal_radio_setup_rev19(struct b43_wldev *dev)
{
/* TODO */
}
Now that computers can be cheaply trained to play chess at greater than human skill level without any pre-existing knowledge of the game, has anyone looked at the question of whether the rules of chess are optimal or non-optimal under some measure of interestingness and simplicity? Like, there was some evolutionary pressure on the rules of chess to be simple and yet yield interesting games in the early days before the rules had solidified. It's now possible to take an arbitrary chess rules variant and cheaply train a machine to be (with high confidence) at least as good as a grand master would be in the universe where those rules had persisted for a thousand years. Are there better rules out there?

they separated the bike lane in front of my previous office on 2nd street in SF. This did not stop rideshare drivers from pulling over through the parking spaces into the bike lane, effectively completely blocking me off with parked cars on my right on several occasions. I only worked there for a few months after the separated bike lane was put in so maybe drivers are figuring it out now but it was definitely not helpful while i was riding it. In addition they painted the entire bike lane solid green, which certainly helped visibility of the bike lane (was that a problem?) but also made it incredibly slick. the stop light at the bottom of the hill had an absurd amount of 10+ foot skid marks from people trying to stop on the slick surface.
"bad science" because it was proven wrong after spending hundreds of billions of dollars.

For snapclient, I used a USB DAC at first, but turning it off and then on meant that snapclient lost its connection. I could not resolve that so I purchased a DAC HAT instead.
I suspect they would have a room full of folks grading each one semi-arbitrarily based on a picture of one version of the logo. You'll notice they did tally percentages of specific flaws. And indeed it is those very flaws that I point out in another comment here, because it is clear the "judges" only had one specific version of a logo in mind to compare with. A LOT of the examples people drew up are actually faithful to existing versions of the logos.

Eg: They faulted some for not having the word PUMA with the jumping cat logo. But many of the Puma sports shirts do only have the jumping cat on them, as do at least one pair of their shoes. They faulted another one for having the cat jumping in the wrong direction. Here's a single photo showing BOTH of these supposedly incorrect logo memories: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Puma-Men-Tee-Sports-Training-foo...

I had an awesome high school chemistry experience as well. Chemistry is such a "hands on" science with fire, color changes, explosions, weird reactions, etc. I'm always surprised when people think it is boring.

Many phones are somewhat harder to unlock than Samsung models. The Knox efuse is an annoyance, but most of that is security theater anyway. It doesn't gate many useful features that a Lineage user would care about.
