Long story short. I was 18... graduated high school and knew it all. I was going to get a good job, work my way up the ladder, get paid well, and live happily ever after with the girl of my dreams, wherever she was. Yeah... it didn't end up like that at all.

I hated my job. I wondered why I did it. For the paycheck. Until one day, after 3 years of service with the company, I asked my boss for a raise. He gave me a penny. That day changed my life. I decided to go to college. During my time at college, I studied while I was a security officer on his payroll. I did my job but now I was getting paid to educate myself.

Eventually, I'd move on from that job, work others, live in another country, live in another state, go to college in another state, volunteer in different parts of the world, etc. I had stories to tell about my life, and how all these situations, including the bad ones, helped improve my life, such as working for a tyrant boss -- who helped unleash a hidden talent I had for programming. I will forever not like the man, but what he taught me, helped me stay focused and start a business.

Anyways, I eventually became a web designer. I went to school for psychology, which is what I wanted to practice, but I had student loans and no one was hiring, so I applied across the boards of Craigslist, and got a hit for a programming job, hence working for the tyrant boss above, but I was still fascinated with this question: why are some people so passionate about work while others just do their jobs? So I sought to figure it out and even landed my dream job, though it came with a lot of stipulation... almost like selling your soul to the devil.

I couldn't pursue what I studied in college, which was a cross between social psych and IO psych... so I created the website, which keeps me connected to my passion and continues to improve my skills in web technology. The website has been a compliment to my life. If I had pursued my original goals, I wouldn't be making as much as I am making in my field right now. So I keep doing what I do because that pays the bill, but the site keeps me connected.

It is 7 years old... millions of visitors from all over the world, and many people understood its mission and have kept it going.. i opened it up for anyone to "confess" .. no way I could have written over 2500 articles, helped evolve it to what it is today.. which is a lot of information about what we're all doing at work, both professional and personal articles.

So the premise is: Tell me your story of what it is like to go to work as you, why you are there, why you keep going back, etc. I am fasinated with jobs and careers and how people make money. It has since evolved into much more, but that was the start.

Life happens... and you just go the direction you feel is the best for you. Sometimes you'll make mistakes and have regrets, but it's best you do something, then nothing at all. Live for today, hope for tomorrow, reflect on what you really want in your life.

Amazon's actions make it clear that the company's goal is not to provide the customer with products of a minimum and consistent quality, nor is it to make it easy for customers to even purchase products from Amazon.com. Note how they hide the option to filter for only products shipped and sold by Amazon.com

Amazon knows that retail margins are tiny, a few percent at best, and that is not what they are interested in. It takes a lot of labor to provide high quality vetting and constant vigilance over suppliers. What they are interested in is high margins, which comes from being a platform.

I don't think McMaster Carr or Grainger ever had any intention of becoming platforms for resellers so they could take a top line cut of sales and outsource quality control.

If anything, I think Amazon is probably trying to reduce their shipped and sold by Amazon.com retail operations and focus on the high margin web services. Why compete with Walmart/Target/Best Buy/Home Depot/Lowes for <5% profit margin with huge liabilities when you can make 20%+ easy on super scalable web services?
That’s like saying we choose the government. It’s true in theory, but in practice the top management uses the “owners” like Soylent Green.

I know little about the ad business but the insinuation I've heard is that the advertisers don't want those impressions, but struggle to block these sites for one reason or another. In other words, it's basically a scam.
Docker usage of cgroups is optional and it's not really an integral part of containers. Contrast to people using cgroups without containers too (unlike namespaces).

I'm sorry but this is a new post (posted yesterday) which appears to be specifically about 0.34, which should be worth discussing about the changelog?
Seems like it’d be fairly straightforward to identify a post by genre and then weight for terseness.
Why is this strange? Expected future revenue would decline, no?
That's true, but a lot of people prefer using Amazon for online shopping. It is a one stop shop where you can get almost everything.
My dad used to have a recording studio before he passed away. Our Sweetwater rep (the same one the whole time)called every couple months for 13 years just to see if I need any other equipment, and to tell me when older gear I had was going obsolete due to driver support etc. fantastic experience, and one of the best companies I’ve ever bought from.
What's stopping them from increasing premiums today? They quote every 3 - 6 months and can increase premiums across the board if auto-accidents trend upward.

If you are referring to increasing premiums in the middle of a quote cycle, that's not possible due to how the terms of the quote are worded. The insurance industry is regulated.
I'm a bit disappointed it didn't go into detail into the way jails differ from zones. VMs I understand, but it seemed like the main point of the post was to distinguish containers from the other three.
Microsoft Healthcare: EmpowerMD | Full-time | Seattle/Redmond, WA, USA | Onsite

Imagine a visit to the doctor’s office where the focus is on you. Not the computer. We’re EmpowerMD in Microsoft Healthcare (https://aka.ms/empowermd), and we’re building an ambient intelligence for the clinic you can see in our 2 minute demo video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnGlOCBK3kM).

Last October, we announced a partnership with Nuance Communications to create the exam room of the future (https://news.microsoft.com/2019/10/17/nuance-and-microsoft-p...)

If you’re mission driven, want to work on a collaborative multi-disciplinary team to build AI for good, we’d like to chat with you. We’re actively hiring engineers with full-stack engineering experience on a modern stack (React, NodeJS, serverless, K8S, NoSQL, etc.)

- Senior Software Engineer: https://aka.ms/empowermd-sde-sr

- Software Engineer II: https://aka.ms/empowermd-sde-ii

All positions are Redmond, WA only and international relocation is not available at this time. We are currently working remotely from home due to COVID-19 but we are looking to hire full-time employees now who can work with us in Redmond, WA when we are able to return to work at the Microsoft main campus. We cannot support long-term remote work because of our partner's privacy/security requirements.

If you’re interested, please email (with an updated CV): ask-empowermd@microsoft.com
This is not true. Not so many people can set up popular and awesome projects like npm or vue.js. These are top level programers. But for other people you can not say they are not good enough to be qualified.
You could still setup a new phone plan with a fake ID.
There’s no mechanism for that other than increasing renewal rates for actuarial reasons, which for auto would be a longer term trend.

As the other commenter pointed out, reinsurance covers expensive disasters.
Plain and simple, Google won't rank you without it. Google looks for additional filler when ranking. Otherwise you would see different kinds of sites.
> It's just sad, and it really shows the yawning chasm between verbal fluency and real expertise.

I agree, if by "verbal fluency" you mean stringing together heavyweight jargon and concepts like Eddy Van Halen doing a guitar riff.

Even in a colloquium filled with subject matter experts that kind of pace is off-putting and raises red-flags instantly-- but this guy does it when communicating with the general public, fully knowing that people are going to be lost in a matter of seconds.

... so yeah, that and NO FREAKING PAPERS. It's a bit disconcerting for a theory that purports to unify relativity with quantum mechanics.
News outlets were saying this won’t work. Is it because big pharma is trying to keep this doubting so they can push a cure all drug? Let’s wait and see...

I don't see how there could be any viable argument toward that equivalence. Class action lawsuits are special in that most of the plaintiffs don't have to lift a finger while a small number of plaintiffs and their lawyers prosecute the case on behalf of everyone who doesn't opt out. Mass arbitration still requires each plaintiff to individually prove their case. Companies cannot write contracts that say you can only sue us if you're one of the lucky few; each and every customer/employee must individually have some avenue of recourse or the contract is going to be ruled unconscionable because the contract is only effectively binding on one party.

When a company says "you can't come after us because we're already facing too many other similar claims", that's called bankruptcy proceedings.
Tesla YouTuber Bjørn Nyland spends a lot of time driving around with the Scan My Tesla app overlaid on his stream.

Lots of interesting real-time data in there from the motors, battery, and cooling/heating systems.

On the Model 3, it’s particularly interesting how it will start to generate extra heat from the motors as you approach a supercharger. Routing that heat to the battery brings the cells up to optimal temperature to allow faster charging.
And accordingly, I could give orders to their lawyers and their likelihood of doing what I say is about the same as the percentage of the company that I own.
I hope someday Crystal will supplant Java.

They're saying that the order in which he visits topics and their details requires the listener to keep many topics in their head simultaneously for the duration of the discussion.

"breadth-first" is an order of graph traversal. In this case, it refers to covering all of the topics before drilling down into more detail in each topic, and later drilling down even further into topics.

The chief alternative order to discuss topics would be depth-first: to cover a major topic, and drill down as deep as you're going to go into the details, before moving onto the next major topic.

The open cognitive loops are the incompletely-covered topics that must be kept in the listener's head because they haven't been completely covered ("closed") yet, and will be re-visited in greater detail later.
It's good ol' Goodhart's Law, all over again.
It's unfortunate how Elixir splits the ecosystem in a way, simultaneously drawing attention to and away from Erlang. While it should be possible to use (compiled) Elixir code from Erlang—as once demonstrated by Joe Armstrong himself—it's far from pleasant compared to the inverse. At this point, I would be hesitant to use BEAM if I didn't like Elixir (still have to really try, though I can totally see the appeal of Erlang), because it's becoming harder and harder to ignore. To those of you that prefer Erlang, what's your opinion on this?
But they do this already. In Colorado many insurers raised rates when we had a large hail storm that caused widespread damage. Allstate roughly doubled my premium because of it (or so they said), even though I parked my car in a garage both at home and at work at the time. I found a better rate elsewhere, but I’m sure others just paid it.

So the fact that they’re offering a reduction seems fair, I guess. Although I wonder if they’re really only seeing a 15% reduction in costs.
Almost 20 years after, recurrence annihilators still blow my mind.

Any time I build a high-stakes presentation that uses slides only for visuals, higher-ups coach me into putting the text back in. They frame this feedback in two ways:

a) The listener may zone out and lose track of what you're saying. The slides should be there to pull them back in. Otherwise you risk losing them completely.

b) The slide deck as a standalone artifact is expected to communicate the substance of the talk. No one is going to watch the video. But my skip lead, your promotion committee reviewers, etc. will probably flip through the slides. If it's a mystery what they're looking at, that's not good.
Eric might be onto something. I want to believe. It’s not only possible that academia has rejected valuable but threatening ideas, it’s likely.

However, the only way forward from this point is for Eric to publish his ideas in definite form — in the language of mathematics — for the rest of us to evaluate for ourselves. Paper or GTFO.
fair push-back on a fascinating topic, thanks for sharing.
Improper Usage of Fetch(FetchMode.JOIN) May Causes N+1 Issues
First off, you're right that readv(), like read() can indeed return lesser data than was requested. Thanks. I'll fix that.

> I'm also actually not sure if in the uring version requests are guaranteed to be processed in order or not. I would have assumed the latter - and thereby the printed result could have been out of order.

io_uring may not make completions available in the same order as submissions. The article goes into some detail explaining this. However, the "cat" example only deals with one request at a time which uses readv() and readv()'s iovecs are returned in order. So, this is not a problem. The "cp" example does deal with multiple submissions and completions, however it uses writev() on the completion of each readv(), writing the correct offsets. So, it wouldn't matter if completions arrive out of order. But this is indeed something to look out for.
> mutually agreed upon

So, buried in size 3 font on page 355 of a document included by reference in the 200 page TOS and that can be found at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard" -- that one is to have read in full by legal counsel before spending $30/month on internet access?

Right.

I know that courts know about contracts of adhesion, but suggesting that there's anything mutual about them is absolutely grounds for a little prodding.

Exactly, he was obviously intentionally trying to overwhelm people with jargon. That drives me crazy. Other physicists don't do this, because it serves no purpose aside from making the speaker look smart, and we have other priorities.
There's a potential systemic bias involved in this that the report does not consider (unsurprisingly). What if the particular firmware caused hearing damage that now causes these users to think the noise-cancelling performance has deteriorated? I have no reason to think this is the case, but wow, what a confounder to have to deal with!
I should have said the first true 3D FPS. Descent is in a different genre that is a little more niche.
The covid19 is

the same old scam just like global warming, it's bleeding heart Democrats at work spewing thier lies, it's just another virus that's be actually killing less than all the other flu's known and getting rid of the weak and free'ing up hospital beds, a little quicker than ordinary pneumonia already does. Climate change be which is natural is fine, been happening for millions of years, man has poisoned the earth for only 200 years and the earth is doing ok with carbon emmisions from natural occurences for Milenia. No need to think man is so powerful to hurt this planet we share, it's all bull crap and know they feel the need to ruin the economy with liberal based media causing mass hysteria and general public panic to oust a republican president that the powerful left doesn't want in office come November. More people are dying from run of the mill influenza strands leading to pneumonia than covid19 just at a slower rate, 500,000 a year worldwide vs covid19 at current time 75,000 and it's on a downslope as I type only possibly peaking as high as 200,000, if that. Don't believe the hype, I'm surprised we haven't heard from Al and tipper gore about the virus on top of the bill crap global warming scam that they now refer to as climate

An excerpt from the article follows: "Never mind the struggle to meet Maslow’s tenets of survival: being wild verges on illegal. There are limits to how long you can spend on public land. Fires are frequently prohibited, and hunting is closely circumscribed. Lynx came up against the law in 2008, when a government officer attended one of her classes undercover. She was unaware of his identity until two years later, when she was charged for running a course on public land without a permit and for cutting down a freestanding dead tree. She was barred from the national forests of eastern Washington for a year."
No, nobody was naked - the tide was just so strong that their swimsuits fell off.
No, I believe that's obvious, that people with good sense already know these paid opinion-shouters are to be taken with a pinch of salt at best, and that it doesn't help to attack them on a point at which (for once), they might be given some leeway for lacking insight.
I noticed a lot of people in BC are teaching their kids to drive as the roads are pretty empty. (You can tell because learners have to display a sign on the vehicle).
What are the downsides of remote work that nobody talks about?
Wait, is that something you would want? I would find it pretty awful if my git history for my code had all the other things like issues and PR metadata in it. Could potentially see it being useful if it were stored in an "auxiliary" repo that I could pull separately.
Thanks for the sanity. This site is slowly devolving into reddit with out of context political videos that, while they certainly carry merit, lack a holistic view of the time period and the media opinion of the time.
I like what this explores but it certainly seems to favor semi-continuous threads of conversation rather than thousands of disparate discussions that you'd normally have on social media. Getting a graph with a friendly-UX for the latter would be quite difficult to achieve.
"especially given China's clampdown on information outflow"

Come on. By late December, China's response was so drastic (including when measured against all previous coronavirus outbreaks) that the question of "suppressing" information about it was completely moot.

The CDC completely dropped the ball on this. Yes, in part because Trump slashed their pandemic response budget, but they did a piss-poor job even for the resources at their disposal.

Fox News and Trump being a source of constant disinformation and incompetence is, to me, kind of a constant of the universe. The same ought not to be true of the rest of our institutions, and yet it seems that it is.

SpaceX Starship at Voyager Station:Station Construction
Sure, I'm not just talking about participants in a conversation either (with the possibility of a wider audience). Even in DMs, I use threads plenty. Sometimes someone asks multiple questions not realizing that they'll branch off significantly, and threads are a tidy way to address that. I don't see why habits relevant to a DM wouldn't generalize to teams of that size too (in which case you're always DMing).
>(and lets be clear...they are vendors not a system of justice)

This is misleading, neither America nor any other country has a justice system. Justice is often a goal of the legal system but it is not a direct attribute of the system.

Unfortunately there's a lot of FUD over unions here and how they ruin things, employ lazy workers, are corrupt etc and therefore don't deserve to exist.

Of course the great irony is all of the arguments against unions also applies directly to corporations, yet those same people that are against unions don't really like to talk about the idea of abolishing corporations. Usually those arguments turn into 'one bad apple' or 'they'll be out-competed' or something about the free market, never mind that unions operate on the same free market principle as corporations.
This is kind of “system programming” that is interesting.
You're missing one of the key pieces: software. I don't think many would argue that Sony can produce better tooling and operating system efficiency than Microsoft.

Even with identical hardware, I'd place my money on a small Xbox edge.

The PS3 was on paper significantly more powerful than the Xbox 360, however it didn't result in significantly better performance or graphics. In some games in some cases yes, in others not really.
Why China’s wildlife ban is not enough to stop another virus outbreak
Agree, but it's all pretty obvious the first point. It's what they are paid to do. There's no insight there and no credit for originality in writing an article pointing that out.

I'd be more impressed if he proposed a workable mechanism for actually holding them to account.
They very likely will reach a point someday where they will lay off a good number of people. They can't keep growing forever, and if they reach a point of stagnation, they'll get rid of some people to save on costs or to reallocate funds to grow a different division. Loads of big companies do this, monopoly or not.
