Im on the second page of this book and it is presented in a way that makes me want to use awk right now. I really like how this is written, it does a great job of presenting a base idea and building on it. @thewhitetulip did you plan out all of the example topics before writing each page in the manuscript?

Why do you perceive it as bitter rather than simply factual observations about employment? It is a whole discipline of social science research, eg “Moral Mazes.”

My personal goal is for my beliefs and my participation in a community to above all be accurate. If the fact-based conclusions aren’t very pleasant, that is a function of the state of the world, not the state of participation.
British still lament about that, don’t be mistaken. Not all of them, but many still do.
Indeed. If your goal is to become a VP at a successful startup, you're better off working on your networking/blogging/social/managerial skills than studying anything technical.

I find Eli Bendersky’s writeup [1] more useful as it actually goes closer to the details. For readers less familiar, it also makes it more clear what the time spent will depend on (how much state there is to copy). Eli’s post is actually a sub-post of his “cost of context switching” post [2] which is more often applicable (and helps answer all the questions below about threadpools).

I'm not suggesting the pricing mechanism can be used to fully account for the risk, I'm suggesting that it isn't simply a matter of banning certain contractual conditions, that it is prudent to also consider the inevitable increase in prices that will accompany some of those actions. If you are comfortable with the higher prices, fine. As I point out in my other comment, real world behavior suggests a preference for low prices.

I'm not arguing against regulation, I'm arguing for regulation that acknowledges that certain regulations have an obvious impact on pricing.

There's plenty of middle ground. Bed and breakfast regulation could include a provision allowing the government to make public health the higher priority and require refunds during some declared period of time, and let operators set their own terms otherwise.
I can't believe this link is still relevant after more than 15 years.
How is this different from any other company though? It happens a lot where I live. You either know the higher ups through some sort of connection(school, event, family, etc) became friends and that's it you landed on a nice position.

I'd love to say it's only prone in startups but it's been plaguing companies forever, especially small-medium sized ones where it's easier because the owner is probably hoping to find able hands, perhaps the huge ones have slightly better processes to counter this type of scenario.
I don't think I'm mentally capable of following this kind of diet for a very long time. It just makes you hungry and less productive. It also weakens you in terms of physical strength.

Results of our systematic review and meta-analysis show that there was no significant difference between N95 respirators and surgical masks when used by health care workers to prevent transmission of acute respiratory infections from patients. However, wide 95% CIs from our meta-analysis must be interpreted as insufficient evidence to determine whether there is a clinically significant difference. Findings from the surrogate exposure studies suggest that N95 respirators are superior to surgical masks for filter penetration, face-seal leakage and total inward leakage under laboratory conditions.

It was not surprising to find that N95 respirators were generally more efficient filters with better face-seal characteristics than surgical masks when tested in the laboratory.
While I am not proud of this, Chromecast is a fairly core part of mine and my family's routine each week. It's one of probably only two consumer technologies that I've found transformative in the last ten years, the other being Apple Pay. It'd certainly be interesting if there were an viable open alternative, but it seems unlikely that NymphCast is going to make a debut in the Netflix app anytime soon. I'd probably settle for a good Firefox implementation of the Chromecast protocol, but that's obviously missing the point here.

Also as an aside, AngelScript's is another of these programming language sites where sample code seems to be more than three clicks away from the homepage. I will admit I gave up before finding any.
If your goal is actually improving the health of people, making money on it can be a case of not aligning incentives. It can be a case of actively undermining your stated goal.

X solution: Actually makes people healthy, doesn't make you rich. Gets no press because it's not making you rich.

Y solution: Kind of, sort of addresses some health issue, but at the price of terrible, horrifying side effects. Also: Makes someone rich. Gets all the promotion while no one hears anything about the cheap solution that doesn't come with horrifying side effects and a huge literal price tag.

I'm currently using a bluetooth speaker in my car while I fix the stereo. Two minor UX issues I'm having:

* Unlike the builtin system in my 15 year old car, the bluetooth speaker doesn't adjust volume with my car's speed, so I have to constantly adjust it.

* The speaker's interface isn't designed to be used without looking (small buttons flush with the housing) so adjusting the volume all the time is particularly annoying.
But wasn’t the same the case that last time they “disrupted” Intel with their amd64 and dual core CPUs? They caught up, but never really invested in the tooling. And then they lost market share again.

For a home user I would think a relevant aspect might be the ready availability of well-integrated systems like the NUC. I just replaced a NUC with a new NUC even though I am aware of Zen2, I know it has its qualities, and I know how to build computers.

Is this any different than people buying any luxury product based on marketing? Look at any designer clothing item. It's all based on (close to 100%) what people feel as a result of marketing and branding. The actual product sure is sometimes higher quality and better but not to the extent that it costs.

Take a women's pocketbook for $5000 (Gucci). It's a pocketbook. Woman buys it because of marketing and image. Same here I say (Tesla is another example and note that Bill Gates still buys Porsche because that was the car in the era he was raised in).
Yes, it would be a win for the users, especially on limited data plans. Though I wouldn't hold my breath for most sites to actually implement it; most sites do not mind serving megabytes of data for a single page view to users, incl megabytes of scripts, even to mobile users.

4MiB to 2.5MiB is out of range for brunsli, more like 3.2MiB if you're lucky.

I also tried with a 54 MiB JPEG[1] just now. The brunsli coding is 49MiB so not even a 10% reduction on this particular file. And it took a wallclock time of 16 seconds on my last gen Intel. Decoding it back to JPEG took 11 seconds on the same box.

[1] A picture of a wedding cake, taken with a NIKON D810, one of the largest JPEGs I had available. I was "exported" by Lightroom 9 it seems from a NEF/RAW source, and is full of meta data too, around 100KiB of it.
thanks, totally slipped my radar
I moved into management 5 years in at my startup. At the time I had ~50% of all code commits. I wanted to run a team because there was so much I wanted to create that I couldn't without the help of others. After a few years of VP of Engineering and then CTO I'm back to writing small apps in Rust for free. So while it was enjoyable it didn't scratch the same itch.
I guess if the answer to 'how do you fuzz time' is 'easily wait 100 years', I have no further questions.

If you're from Seattle, then the recent research of Trevor Bedford (Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center) and the Seattle Flu Study group might be relevant - they've posted a quick summary on https://twitter.com/trvrb/status/1233971278735761409 while there's still the weekend; but in essence they've done genetic analysis of the Covid-19 strains in Washington sate, and it suggests the following worrying things:

1. their analysis (virus mutations / differences in individual patients?) suggests it has been spreading in Washington state for some 6 weeks already;

2. "Our best current expectation is a few hundred current infections" (that's about WA only! not the entire USA) - it's not confirmed and identified cases, but the number suggested by virus variation; it's not like there's 6 patients who have all been "imported" or form a single clear cluster, they have been infected by some patients who have not been identified, have not been isolated, and have been spreading it in the cummunity.

To me the situation in Washington State seems very similar to where Italy was a week ago.

Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues Explained Visually
Sure you could. You presumably already have a mechanism for doing frame unwinding either via compatibility with the C++ runtime's throw() implementation or by supplying your own. So for your own stack frames you can do what you like. Exceptions raised by c++ code called from lisp would also work the same way as they do now.

And when you are unwinding a lisp->C++ boundary (that is, lisp code called by a C++ function) you are free to do what you like until you get to the first Lisp frame; if it doesn't have an unwind-protect then its "ignore me" pointer just points up to its caller, which is examined by the C++ runtime anyway.

The nice part of that second paragraph is that if that first lisp callee was called by a non-c++ function (say a fortran function) you might even have an opportunity to set the "parent frame for inspection pointer" to skip over all the fortran frames and point directly to the lowest C++ function below you...which you could manage via a small change to gold or llvm-ld.
Since people are sharing anecdotes I might as well share mine. I’ve personally tried IF, keto, calorie counting, and various combinations of all three. I’ve only ever lost weight when doing some form of calorie counting, and since that’s easiest for me without putting other restrictions on my diet, I’ve settled on just tracking calories long term.
That's interesting, because while I think keto is great in a lot of ways, I've never felt my best on it. It just doesn't give me the energy I need to be effective in the gym.

What I've discovered doing 72 hour fasts is that what I eat when I refeed matters a lot less than when I'm eating throughout the day. Keto made a big difference in my initial weight loss journey, but I find it to be somewhat miserable for maintenance. Yet, with fasting at least 48 hours, I discovered that the macro composition matters a lot less in relation to ketosis. In my eating window, I can eat rice, fruit, etc., and it will knock me out of ketosis for a short while but I'll usually be right back in ketosis between 24 and 48 hours from then. I feel much better in general getting a small amount of calories in, and it hasn't significantly effected my weight loss. In fact, when I was sick a few weeks ago, I stopped fasting and basically ate berries all week. The following week, I went back into a 72 hour fasting routine and still managed to lose a few pounds from where I was at before I got sick.

Put simply, I think the longer a fast is, the less that the need for keto matters. Keto combined with IF can work for a lot of people, and in a lot of ways they are complimentary in their benefits, but people can also tip the balance in favor of either more keto or more fasting and find their own combination that achieves their goals.
That begs the question of what definition of "success" do we use. Most would agree that in its heyday, MySpace was definitely successful. However, the market changed and now it's been eclipsed by other social media. No one stays on top forever and perhaps by the definition of its founders, MySpace was wildly successful for what it tried to be.
That's a quite old (2005) article, dating to the original sars outbreak.

Could someone explain what a "repacker" is?

What I know: In Photoshop, when I save an image as JPEG, I can decide the "quality" (Low, Medium, High, etc). The lower it is, the smaller the file size but the image will have (more) artifacts. The resulting image can then be opened in any image viewer including browsers.

Also, I was told to save the "master" copy in a lossless format (e.g. TIFF or PNG) because JPEG is a lossy format (like MP3 to WAV).

So how does a "repacker" come to play?
We're not yet at a size where designing our own ARM-based SoC makes sense.
Hopefully the strike will now spread to other UC campuses.

The back story here is that United Auto Workers (the UC grad students’ union) negotiated an unacceptable contract, and despite many months of pushback from the students, and despite UCSC voting against it, the union ratified it anyway (including a no-strike clause).

Also, the faculty of UCSC voted against the firings.

The only reason a study like this works is because it takes place in a controlled environment where they can actually starve the rats (or sometimes make genetic changes that reduce the rats hunger.)

Study after study and clinical experience shows that low calorie diets are really hard for humans “in the wild” to maintain in practice. People who are on them constantly complain of hunger (in the mid-20th century these were actually called “semi-starvation” diets), and go back to their previous weight as soon as they are done. That’s why a lot of modern dieting has oriented around low carb / high fat because it means that you get enough calories, but the composition of your macronutrients causes you to lose weight. You don’t have to go as low as Keto to get these effects (that’s 5-10% carbs) and certainly don’t need to entirely cut out fruit, etc. And the results have been observed clinically for 100+ years.

This, however, hasn’t prevented academic nutritionist after academic nutritionist from pushing these narratives without any clinical experience. Can you imagine being at least a little hungry for 20 years... the equivalent time span in humans to get the effect reserved here in rats? That’s insane. And, more bluntly, probably not doable.

If you’re skeptical of this try dropping your caloric intake by 30% for two weeks and tell me how you feel :)
> Brunsli allows for a 22% decrease in file size while allowing the original JPEG to be recovered byte-by-byte.

It's a lossless file compression application that's specialized on compressing a specific file format, so it can beat generic compression tools like gzip.
Doing homeworks together was ok, sharing answers to tests was not. Anyway, the goal there was to score individual students, the goal here is to build something together. Of course some people want to outshine coworkers or try to become not replaceable, so they won't share anything unless forced. This is probably your point.

A way to measure people's contributions could be counting how many times those lines in the wiki were copy pasted to solve problems, but in general it's not easy. We could count commits to markdown but as in code, two lines could be worth more than one hundred.
In Stockholm where they had rent control for decades it is basically impossible to get a rental contract at all (waiting time is several decades). The end result is that people are forced to buy to get a stable place to live.
i strongly suspect that nearly every time i've gone to the ceo with a clearly articulated case about how engineering is a mess and it needs radical rethought...

As a math teacher, I've found the best luck with teaching negatives by putting them in terms of direction. When kids start seeing "right" as "positive" and "left" as "negative", it makes a bit more sense to them. Then couple in positive/negative with forward/backward and it just generally clicks.

It also even helps explain division when you talk about it in terms of direction and how many times you have to move to get to 0. It also helps them understand why you can't divide by 0. e.g. 3/0 would be explained like "Starting at 3, how many times can you move 0 to get to 0," They can clearly see it's impossible, and it helps give them at least some basic intuition into it.

I've also found this extends to at least some properties of complex numbers as well, as you can easily extend from the number line to a coordinate plane.
Why do you (and others) think that education and academia is somehow special and not the same as, say, acting (or any career) where people regularly earn no money and work bad 2nd jobs just to survive and do something they love or want as a career? In a free market system nobody is telling you to choose that career and a University and (typically) a non-profit doesn't have any particular incentive to not act in their own self interest in order to self perpetuate themselves.

Also I am sure the janitor at the University is paid decently and loves to work there. Reason is there are not as many people lined up for that job and basic economics takes over.
Their marketing claims are complete lies about the effectiveness of their product for the purpose of filtering air. People shopping for air purifiers/filters are often enough doing so because they have health problems such as allergies. Not because they want a buzzing cylinder to sit in the middle of their room as some piece of art.

Building a finance tracking REST API using Go with TDD – Part 2
The article highlights a huge pitfall of having lots of small dependencies, provides no real remediation, and says small dependencies are easier to reason about, so they're better anyway.

I disagree. I personally find that with large projects, small dependencies actually become much harder to reason about - they sort of get lost in the codebase. Not to mention the duplication of small packages on npm doing similar things - with a large team, it's easy to add both to your codebase and then we're in a new sort of duplicative mess.
You're talking about the magnitude, which is spread evenly across the frequency range. The real component of the freq domain representation is in fact sinusoidal. Time-Frequency duality is a well-known phenomenon in signal processing.

The author blurb:

A girl who is trying to find her way through the confusion of giftedness, human societies and her intersexuality. Her life is somewhat of a dramatic survival show. She is currently working on her autobiography.

To me, it mostly signals "A girl is working on this project and wants the name of it to signal that." If it were written by a guy and used a word that could be interpreted to mean "Studly," we probably wouldn't bat an eyelash. Many people likely wouldn't notice at all.
