True procedural scrubs are still washed by the hospital (really in most cases by a contract service provider).

Scrubs you see (assuming you don’t work in a procedural space) are not procedural scrubs. They are just clothing. You can be forgiven for being confused as many of those suits are taken / borrowed / stolen from the procedural scrub supply. This problem is serious enough in some places that scrubs are distributed with a vending machine system that tracks your (limited) allowed balance of outstanding sets.

A long time ago , when nurses and house officers worn uniforms and laundry was on site , non procedural clinical staff were wearing hospital laundered clothing. The uniforms, and the laundry service that went with it, went away decades ago though.

What to wear instead, in non procedural spaces, wasn’t every really clarified. I suspect Grays Anatomy and Scrubs helped to sort it out for this generation (although it’s highly regional and reasonably local) as did the economic importance of procedures.
Wages and employment remain constant because companies are still more like social constructs that provide minimal support in exchange for membership in a social hierarchy. They’ll always find something for you to do.

Learn to code” is popularizing the conversion of everybody into software engineers, but actually we don’t need most SWE either, so now we have an entirely new class of useless jobs on a SWE assembly line where 99% of the work product is simply discarded, but we still use the old industrial productivity model to drive productivity by aggressive management.
The traditional answer to this comes from the age when college graduates were a distinct minority. In the 1950s environment, if a job applicant has a college degree even with irrelevant subject, then this means that the applicant has passed two filters (getting into college, and actually graduating with decent grades) for qualities that are relevant to most jobs but are hard to measure directly, so that degree is a very useful signal for evaluating people in a way that you can't do during an interview or two.

These qualities are not guaranteed but are correlated with being able to get into college and graduate - everything from conscientiousness, ability to follow arbitrary complex rules, general intelligence and also socioeconomic status (in e.g. sales and management, the social contacts of a high-SES employee and their family are very valuable in achieving business goals, and the social contacts of a low-SES employee are not). A graduate might not have these qualities, and a non-graduate might have them, but it's hard to tell so the degree is a useful proxy because it does (or did?) correlate with these qualities.

So it made all sense for businesses to prefer college graduates for certain types of jobs ("the good jobs") even if the college major was something like history or literature in a field of business where that's not relevant, and they did just that. And because of that employer preference, a college degree was a ticket to one of these good jobs.

However, if almost everyone gets a degree that means that there's no real filtering happening, and that benefit gradually becomes useless.

Yes, but the reason why that attack is so contentious in the first place is that it hits at a real weakness in trans activism. It was trans activists themselves who first politicized the narrative around things like autogynephilia and rapid-onset dysphoria, by branding these ideas as anti-trans and bigoted no matter how "fair and reasoned" expressed - and this is something that creates real harm, as Rowling obliquely points out by referencing the "detransitioning" trans and contrasting them with folks who took a far more cautious approach to transitioning in the past.

I don't think Relay is used that much outside of Facebook. The community seems to have settled on Apollo. Personally I find Apollo over-engineered. When I couldn't delete things from the cache, because of a bug, and was faced with digging into the complex code-base, I ended up just using straight JSON with a HTTP client/fetch and caching in a simple JS object.

Other users of my API [1] just use straight HTTP with JSON as well. GraphQL clients seem to solve something we are not encountering. If urql [2] or gqless [3] work well when I try them I'd be up for changing my mind though.

It will be technically infeasible to do so. Or do you mean telecoms? That might be possible, but they'll risk losing customers.

IIRC when the internet was young, there were many closed computer networks such as The Source and America Online. These tried to sandbox the internet, but people just fled to providers which would give them unfettered internet access. The same scenario will play out with HORNET.

It's not a Sherlock Holmes case at all. That principal only applies to locked-room style mysteries, with a provably tiny pool of possible suspects that can be eliminated one by one. I.e., fictional situations.

In this case, the set of "other possible suspects" includes literally everybody in the world who loosely fits the description of the killer and can't prove they were elsewhere that day.
As a full-stack dev, I'm going to always reach for things like Hasura for building my backend from now on. It auto generates a full CRUD GraphQL API from my Postgres DB schema. Most of the backend boilerplate is eliminated this way. If I need to add additional business logic, I can use serverless functions that run between the GraphQL query from the front end and the DB operations (actions in Hasura). Most of the heavy lifting is through the front end anyways, and this keeps everything neatly in sync.
Did the same years ago, LinkedIn had next to 0 value for me. The only linkedin invites I still get are from a guy that I had a financial disagreement with years ago when I freelanced for him and who has blocked me on twitter. Heh.

I was thinking of closing my Linkedin, but it came down to this: Suppose I wanted to join a company / get to know someone and didn't realize that someone I already knew, knew them?

How could I figure out who knew who to give me warm intro w/o Linkedin? For that reason I'm probably going to keep my Linkedin until I find it unnecessary.
I totally get that it’s not for everyone. For me though, way more traction there than in (say) Twitter or Facebook. But for me it is not “glorified resume site” (to quote the article) but a place actively to connect with people. You get out of it what you put in I guess.

Isn't this true of your resume as well? What makes LinkedIn any worse than a public resume?

And if you don't have a good resume, that's totally fine, many companies will still call you in for an interview, however the companies that have a long queue of interviews, will use those resume for discriminating between potential candidates and there's no way around that.

If your online profile isn't good, then improve your online profile. Work on some public projects, write a blog, read some marketing books and apply that knowledge.

And on LinkedIn ... actively ask your former colleagues to recommend you on LinkedIn. People writing words about you is the best kind of endorsement you can get. Don't be ashamed of asking for it.
What I do very often is that I adapt my projects to the wood I get my hands on. But otherwise, I have to admit that ripsawing by hand isn't that fun. If I would get one machine for my workshop it would be a bandsaw (and maybe a drillpress).

That's a tricky precedent to set though, isn't it? If you do sufficiently good work elsewhere in your organization, you can break the law without penalty? That's like McDonalds claiming that they should be allowed to mistreat their workers because they also run a children's charity.

Doing a right thing doesn't grant you immunity when you do a wrong thing. And there was no question that what they did was illegal. Many thousands of people told them that the moment they announced they were planning to do it, they didn't even need legal counsel to point that out. They did it anyway.

If I didn’t worry about money, I would certainly delete my LinkedIn. The author’s opinion is that having a LinkedIn will hurt in getting a job. I was thinking that it would help since a lot of companies ask for it.

For me, having a LinkedIn is certainly out of fear however I haven’t had many benefits from it. I paid for premium for 2 months and didn’t get anything out of it in terms of getting a job.
I keep my LinkedIn mostly to be aware of how much they know about several decades of my true social graph.

I find that a lot of serendipitous connections are made on LinkedIn. People will see my profile and strike up a conversation. Seems to work OK for what it is.

What it isn't great for is content. There's never anything remotely useful there, the whole feed is a weird corporate version of the self help section in a bookshop. A lot of stuff is written purely to get attention.

But I also don't see the tradeoff in as poor a light as say FB. What's so personal about where you work? If people can see what I've done they can offer relevant services, mainly they can try to recruit me.
Given the rate at which we are progressing on SSD endurance, these methods will become irrelevant. Even 5 years back, the old tech report article showed that for an average user, they could handle a lot of writes.

So if they have a meeting every 3 months, what is the rest of their time spent doing? Sounds like a pretty cushy job.
It was quite handy to stay in touch with people you worked with but eventually it turned in another spammy cesspit just like every other form of social media.

- Steps towards more human-like learning in machines [3]

It's an interesting question, what if your tool removes the DRM from the ISO or turns Windows 10 into Windows Server.
There's a large number of people who find their jobs through LinkedIn. I wouldn't call that noise even if some people can do without it.
>A lot of stuff is written purely to get attention.

Doesn't this apply to any social network feed? Most of the time people (or companies) just want your attention and LinkedIn is still a social network, therefore it makes total sense.

>Releasing all of these copyrighted books for free hurt authors who rely on royalties to live, //

That's not at all self-evident, indeed quite likely false.

We had a similar discussion here a few times and content/program creators have said they made more money when their product was also available free - people tried it and bought it.

That probably only works for content creators who's stuff is good - publishers still want to sell stuff that's not good but just is packaged as if it were.

People who want free literature will find it, regardless of whether publishers consent.

As a sidenote, game publishers appear to be using a model of giving away an older game when a sequel is due out - it a similar game from the same company. Naturally one might think that this would eat in to potential profits, but I'm assuming they get more users for the new game, or at least profit more overall this way.

One thing that surprises me (and may be the source for some of his frustrations) is how much for a power user he uses the mouse. This isn't a criticism, just an observation.

He, fairly, criticises how long it takes for the filename to show up when he hovers over an icon on the task bar. However, I think the vast majority of people at his level would use Alt+Tab which immediately brings up not only larger icons for active applications to swap between, but the filename above.

I don't get it. CNC machines for wood are cheap. Rigidity requirements are fairly low. Some people even built their own CNC machines out of wood.

She is debating the topic. Are you not allowed to debate a topic anymore without being labeled a campaigner? At what point is a debate turning into a part of a "campaign"?

As Mrs. Rowling explains she is not operating out of objective curiosity, but she is debating a topic that raises emotions of fear and suffering in her. Obviously she is not the most objective person to discuss this topic then, and given her wide audience, does indeed raise questions on should she actually contribute to the discussion. But on the other hand for really good results in a discussion, all parties should have a skin in the game, so to speak.

Personally the thing I find mostly hard to comprehend are underage persons being allowed a sex change operation. Should you actually allow that? Underage kids are anyway unique and weird in so many ways.

So - is this an actual worry? Or is it used as a "think of the children" argument for general anti-trans messaging in general? I have no clue.

I'm completely unfamiliar with this topic so I would really love to hear the opinons of anyone who has gone through a sex change operation, minor or adult. Does it make sense to allow minors a sex change operation? Or is this such a fringe topic it should not be brought up in a public debate?
Off topic: I find that LinkedIn is bloated with features (most of the "social" aspects of it seem to be just ripped off of FB), which often facilitate spam (Look at my new certificates, Sharing of TikTok videos, Motivational quotes) and just a weird way to share information ("Link in the first comment"). I believe LinkedIn thinks they are improving customer "retention" and all other metrics might be ringing hard, but it suffers from massive feature bloat.

The only reason I am on LinkedIn is just that every other person is on it.
