I felt the same, and still am not sure but if it wasn't, just wow. It felt like just a naive parent not knowing what they're talking about but this one had me really scratching my head...

If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.
Are you being sarcastic? Amazon rainforest wood is not used for paper, the trees are cut down for farmland, not for the wood.

There are far better sources of wood, but land is more scarce.
This thing is trash.
I put "never" on everything and then "a few times a year" on one and I was still "mid" risk at 0.3/6.

Putting "once a month or less" on one thing made it "high" at 0.5/6

So basically 0.0 = LOW, 0.1 - 0.3 = MID, 0.3 - 6.0 = HIGH

Basically everyone who isn't in their dream job is at high risk of burnout. Pointless quiz.
You know it's a failure when you have to put your name underneath it. How ridiculous would it be if countries just wrote their names on their flags?
>Really top-notch logic there in the UK. Brexit's finest.

Relax. This is an example of some jobsworth in West Midlands, who has binge-watched Mr. Robot, got carried away trying to impress the boss' and released this under the cover of 'Safer Internet Day 2020' initiative. It is not a UK policy and it is definitely not related to Brexit.

This hasn't made it into the news cycle outside of social media, because of other pressing matters like Covid-19, storms, cabinet reshuffle etc. Once it does, most tech savvy Brits will be having a good laugh, while others will ignore the message entirely and start searching for these tools ─ either way it is a non-story.

I drink one glass of fine red wine once a week while having a nice conversation with a good friend. On other occasions I have a shot of strong brandy before stepping out on a cold winter evening. I don't get how alcohol is such a specter of misery for some people.
You should be able send a handle to an object through a message channel, though.
I had an issue that when I was visiting America I downloaded Uber. They required that they verified my phone number but I didn't have a US phone number so I couldn't use their app. I ended up downloading Lyft and everything ended up fine.

I'm surprised that they went through so much effort to get my phone number but will now allow people to call them from presumably any phone.
I don't think online forums are the equivalent of saloons. I believe saloons were fairly scarce, thus if you got banned from one, you could not simply pop in another or make another account. The penalty for breaking the rules was fairly high and that made people leave some of their "crazy" at home.
For gears in general PLA is fine. If they have a lot of friction they will heat up and that’s where the PLA could fail. But PETG is very easy to print with! You’d need to adjust nozzle and bed temp but it prints very nicely. :)

PLA is fine to start with though. If you see failures you can switch.
I'm old enough to remember when Radio Shack was freaking people out by not selling them things if they had some unknown combination of components bought. They were so damn insistent on getting your address. Only store I always paid cash at because I was on an electronics kick and my friend had been told he was not allowed to buy some combination of components. That was friggin hilarious (he was building a controller for a pump), and I bought the components at another store location (Radio Shack was sadly the only game in town at the time).
I use wondershaper:

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man8/wondershaper...

And limit my speed to 256KB/s which sounds like a lot and 15 years ago that was really fast, but it's enough to stop me from gorging on YouTube videos, which interestingly are less addicting when viewed at a maximum of 480p.

Adding latency is not necessarily the best route, because some apps (looking at you, gmail) send tens of requests in sequence just to load the main page.
I still use LinkedIN, meetup (if that counts) and kept my rarely used Twitter account. Snapchat died on its own, that is, all of my friends quit posting on it - I assume they use Instagram now, but I won't touch it.

I try to keep all news on RSS feeds to avoid clickbait and ads pretending to be articles.
Given that I have no idea what a service mesh is, I'm going to guess that we do not use one.

But we use CORBA a fair amount, kind of almost as an abstraction layer on top of QNX message passing.
I self insure my car and my house. I have spare versions of both. I don't self insure my health since I'm not that rich yet. I would self insure myself for liability if I was rich enough to have a staff of lawyers, especially since auto insurance liability only goes so far anyway. Or maybe not if they say it's too complicated, but I can't afford that right now anyway so it's a moot point.

Good point about being 92 and having children who are also retirement age. But in my family right now, we have 3 great-great grandparents in 90s being supported by grand children and great grandchildren. It really depends what kind of family you have, and perhaps it's simply not realistic for many, and I'm just super lucky to be in one.

However, I have seen nursing home care and other non family provided care for super old people, and I would rather kill myself if I had to depend on that (I support assisted suicide). I also don't plan on keeping myself alive to get into a state where I have to depend on someone else for basic needs, but who knows, talk is cheap. I haven't seen what kind of care tens of millions of dollars or more can buy at that age, and maybe it's worth it then, but I almost feel like you can't pay someone enough to take care of you the way family would.

>... Or we could just mitigate the risk, with a more diverse pool. With a group fund.

If this is the goal, then isn't the whole country the best pool? AKA Social Security?
hear you... got 5/6 and was thinking about improving the number of clicks on that questionnaire. Sigh... How did I get there?
If there's one truth to social networks its that everyone's experiences on them are different, based on who you're connected to, where you grew up, what life stage you're in, and whether you have interests adjacent to toxic or problematic spaces. It's quite similar to the adage "you are the average of the five people you know best", but on a global scale. Radically different experiences can emerge from the same platform.

Personally, my experiences on FB are extremely tame and similar to yours. However I intentionally sabotaged my experience by unfollowing nearly everyone several years ago. Even my rather fallow feed is an engine of engagement and addictive impulse, in part because of years of conditioning myself to go there when I was bored.

I was surprised when my 1/6 gave me high risk. I am very thankful for what I do and I enjoy going to work.

If you answer "None" to everything, your burnout risk is low (0/6).

Answering a single question with 1 (A few times a year or less) puts you at .1/6 (Mid), which goes up to .5/6.

I find the results reporting of this to be rather sensationalist and the whole thing pretty useless. If you're burnt out, you probably don't need an online quiz to tell you.
GDPR is fine.

Banning Facebook until they can 'prove they cause no harm' is ridiculous, i.e. the OP's reference to 'do no harm' or 'conservative principle'.

Also, though GDPR is mostly good, a lot of other regulations are not, for example, the one in this article wherein Ireland needs to approve Facebook's dating app.

The malaise from general social media is a new social problem, and almost nothing FB does will mitigate it. We need to learn to live in a new world where general social media products exist.
I didn't see that in the article. Maybe we're interpreting it differently?

It is critical for adolescents to learn to deal with hard things and to approach problems in positive ways. Love the martial arts training ididntdothis mentioned - increase the child's ability and confidence, then even without using the martial skills, the bullying stopped.

That's just a straightforward description of what barter is. Barter exists, it has the indicated limitations.

Szabo's argument is that collectibles predate history by tens of thousands of years, that rather than replacing some mythical bartering system, that a system of exchanged collectibles co-evolved with the entire concept of trade.

substituted for otherwise necessary but non-existent trusting long term relationships, as in, allowed them to exist in the first place, not replacing some barter-only system. Nick isn't crediting the Austrian origin mythos here, he's providing a cogent alternative to it.

What I'm seeing no evidence for, and don't expect to, is the claim that debt precedes collectible money. This is quite unlikely, as it seems to be a feature of sedentary agrarian cultures; it's difficult to picture it arising in a milieu of traveling bands of hunter-gatherers, who are mutually suspicious, often rivalrous, and may not speak the same language.
I think it depends on the severity and nature of the bullying, the personality of the child in question, and the parents can be gentler in delivering the message.

On the whole I agree with you. My parents were similarly tough on me (except the one time I was bullied by a teacher, as they recognized the difference between annoying peers and someone abusing their authority and I certainly appreciated it) - however, they were not as tough on my siblings and more protective of them because they had very different personalities and it would have affected them more than it did me.
Think it depends on the category. I scored a ‘mid’ with a 1.3.
I carry an open disdain for lawyers and their equivocal notion of "argument". You understood me; my language and its assertion are sound.

You don't want to go into any of those reasons people waive a jury, right?
As an employer, I have never done this and would never do this. The entire approach signals that the company has no faith in itself or in its hires. As a potential employee, I would certainly decline to work for a company that did this -- not because I'm looking for a place to "hide out" and be a slacker or something, but because I don't want to work at a place that shows that level of disrespect/mistrust, or where I'd have to be constantly looking over my shoulder.

On the other hand, I have always used probationary periods when hiring people, and I have no problem accepting positions that come with a probationary period. As a hire, I really appreciate probationary periods because they cut both ways -- if I discover that I don't like working at the company, a probationary period lets me leave without it harming my career.

But none of those companies (including my own) that used probationary periods felt the need to indicate in advance that they don't have even a basic level of trust in people.
Makes me think of the quote (paraphrased):
"Your reach should always exceed your grasp."
To me it feels like you are tamping down your maximum reach.

Why ask the company name if the intent is to be anonymous? Many companies just the role name and company name is enough to identify the individual. Maybe there is only one CTO or Cloud Architect, etc. Or maybe gender + role + company is enough to identify.

I am extremely negative on HTML/CSS as a ui framework. Yet like many, I have been paid well to come over to the dark side of Javascript app development. The opening section in this article is one of the first times I've agreed with some positive view on the benefits of the environment. Zoom really is a cool feature that is not easily possible in more traditional GUI frameworks.

I also have to begrudgingly admit that nowadays I can mostly create really nice interfaces with very little effort. This is thanks to browsers finally reaching an acceptable level of compatibility (anyone remember Acid CSS test), Javascript/Typescript evolving with genuine improvements (e.g. async/await), flex layouts (and soon grid!). There is still huge room for improvement but it isn't anywhere near as bad as it once was.

Reddit is easily the best model for social media, if only the software was better. The key is prioritizing community over individuals. Subreddit admins have a ton of freedom, so long as a very small bit of their energy goes toward a few basic universal rules. This gives them a real sense of ownership.

Healthy social media must support and defend pseudonymity, because it’s the only way to juggle the fact that everything on the internet can be recorded by at least one other party. And the only way to defend pseudonymity is to treat every user the same. Twitter’s “approved” users violates this and Facebook violates it in many different ways, but Reddit just prioritizes communities over individuals. This is the root of the solution.

When people treat Reddit like it has some broad character or quality, I have to disagree. Those people just haven’t found a subreddit that they love, probably because they haven’t tried to. And I don’t think that needs to he changed or automated. If a Reddit-like site was the only social media, all these people would be motivated to create or build their own communities.
Title is misspelled, should be “Caucus”.
I think this is good advice, though it never would have occurred to my parents (or me).

Emotional bullying is a different problem. If I could advise my younger self, it'd be that when the line is crossed, you have to lay down the law: This stops, or I'm out of here. And put on your adult hat and follow through.

> The average salary of a software engineer in Japan, Germany and other highly developed nations is only slightly better than let's say an accountant's.

I don't know. A quick search shows me accountants to start with 25-35k, while software developers start at 42k and peak significantly higher. Sure, depends on your definition of slightly, I guess. If you're in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich or Hamburg and you're not getting 50k, call a head hunter. And a lot of unpaid overtime? That's rare even for startups because labor law is pretty strict over here, so lots of overtime is a liability for the company, and, since it's pretty easy to find a new job if you're anywhere near a metropolitan area, companies do take care to not drive their employees away.
The IP address (therefore city and country) and browser data already says a lot.

Vim. It can easily handle large multi gigabyte text files.

If you mean "clean" in terms of some standarization (thinking of natural language recognition), I hardly can imagine there is a single tool which covers all use cases...

When I joined the tech industry in my early 20s and for years after, I noticed that many in their 30s or older seemed burned out. It didn't make much sense to me, because to become a tech worker takes drive and ambition and how would you just lose that one day? Now, 12 years on I can definitely see how burnout is so prevalent.

It's like living in the desert and hearing about people drowning. You'd ask yourself, "how is that even possible?" But now I feel as if I've moved to the beach, and can easily see the waves and how it's a real problem. I don't think I'm burned out, but I'm conscious enough of the possibility to keep an eye on the tide.
For anyone who wondered why large tech companies pay Software Engineers so much, this is the reason. Software quality and performance translate into quantifiable dollar amount, and that amount is quite high.

Continue to see a licensed professional but one thing I've learned is that people tend to be happier when there is something to look forward to. If everything pending in your life is a dread, it can be a downward spiral. The best approach is to find that thing for you. It could be volunteering or a hobby. It doesn't have to be the perfect thing but just pick one. Learn how to take photographs and how to use a camera with f-stops. Learn how to bake pastries. Join civic clubs or church clubs or hiking clubs. Join a gym and get in shape. If you don't like it, try something else. Search on meetup.com or other similar. Most of these things have an impassioned group of people who will talk about the group's focus for hours on end. It creates anecdotes and funny stories and events to look forward to. It creates a sense of accomplishment even if you only get better at thing X very very slowly. You make progress and improve.

I see at least three things: a flowery circle in five colors at very small sizes (Olympics logo?), a cut jewel (around a white star) at medium sizes, and the white star (surrounded by colored arrows) at very large sizes. It makes the logo quite confusing for me.

I've a different take, more symmetric in time.

How prodigious is it that so many of us know so many intricacies and details about so much stuff, from the aesthetic to the mechanic. We don't know if our point in the universe is to spread life or morality or simply to make it pretty, it's probably pointless to wonder beyond our very own life, but there's no denying that we are growing. We are becoming. Only by getting there can we know what it is. But it sure is one-of-a-kind.

All the cynicism and pessimism in the world falls short in the face of our past achievements, let alone the future potential of this Earth (I like to consider all life here to be part of the journey, we didn't exactly "win" in isolation, and "we" is more like the system to me, however large that is).

Preprint servers are well-known to nearly all readers of the journal Nature, so there wasn't much need to explain.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=preprint+server+site%3Anature.com&... for example lists many previous publications by Nature on the topic, including https://www.nature.com/articles/nmeth.3831 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-00950-5 and https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00199-6 . (The first was not in the flagship journal "Nature" but a sister journal.)

In short, a preprint is a version of a scientific paper before it's been formally accepted by a journal. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preprint .

The first real electronic preprint repository is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArXiv . That gives more background information on the topic.

So by Middle School, your social persona has ripened and you spend more effort on socializing than non-social play. And because of the bias we give first impressions, we form the strongest opinion of how we fit in socially during Middle School.

Makes sense from personal experience. I went into Middle School with some asocial traits, which ultimately lead to very painful ‘friend’ betrayals... and the next 40 years I spent minimizing the importance of friends.
