Does it go from Crew Dragon to Crewed Dragon when it's occupied, or is that a typo?
I went through a very similar evolution, starting with slide rules, at about the same time. You don't mention middle school and high school -- I was very fortunate in having access to Wang and Monroe programmable calculators, and then a PDP-8M.

Still have a few slide rules, includingn Pickett and K&E.

Don't be fooled, slide rules are really easy to use. It took me less than a minute to learn how to do multiplication, and I wasn't an adult yet.

The A/B/C/D names are from Amédée Mannheim, who in 1851 designed the "modern" slide rule & give those scales those names. In practice, you normally just use the C & D scales when you want to multiply. Here's a history of the "cursor" on a slide rule, that also provides a clear history of the slide rule itself: https://www.nzeldes.com/HOC/Cursors.htm

I've never had a practical reason to use a slide rule over a calculator. But I've had fun with them, & that means something.
I don’t know what this “prefunding” word means, but the USPS was only required to save for accrued benefits. Which every non governmental entity is required to do in the US due to ERISA and PPA 2006.

Unless you can speak to the person in advance, or find out via a third party, you can't know.

There is variation, so it's a numbers game - you have to send out without knowing if you're doing the right thing in each case.

I've spoken with recruiters about this, and like hiring managers, some of them favour a short resume that says very little ("less is more"), others favour a detailed one ("your experience will impress").

However there is a consistent aspect. They pretty much all need:

- Something that fits what HR is looking for in a few seconds skimming early in the first page. Bear in mind HR rarely understands any of things they are looking for, and are easily led astray if they think you are in category X when they are looking for Y, even if you can do X and Y equally.

- Something that fits what the hiring manager is looking for in a few seconds skimming early in the first page, and doesn't look onerous to read through.

- Something that passes keyword matches.

- Depending on the company, or how you get in, something that passes an ATS's assessment of experience (not just keywords but duration working, level of things like did you do management), and doesn't get tripped up by things like column formatting.

One of the things to remember is that almost nobody will read the entire resume or CV, unless it matches what low-effort pattern matching they are doing in a quick initial skim.

There's also quite a lot of variation in whether they are looking for "exact matches" to named skills ("although you have listed CSS, Webpack, ES6, Typescript, HTML5... we're can't proceed because we're looking for someone who knows JavaScript"), or quite fuzzy ("we know any good developer can learn a new language fairly quickly, what we're looking for is evidence that you know software").

Again, you just have to guess and play a numbers game, because they rarely say what they are looking for, and they are looking for different things.
Couldn't the brain damage have essentially caused the state from the training process for those specific glyphs to fail with "garbage" associations? Thus he gets disoroentating confusion and reinforced revulsion when he tries to understand interfering with any occupational therapy to retrain it such that arbitrary glyphs lacking such associations didn't have those issues.
Deutsche Post. The problem is that the U.S. is full of bad ideas everywhere you look and most Americans just don't care. Republicans sabotage the public institutions to make them look bad so they can say government is bad/incompentent. And when things are privately held they demand no regulations because regulations are bad/incompetent/expensive to business. At least where there are examples of successful privatization, there's strong anti-fraud and competition laws. The U.S. also used to do that, but now hate on government, insist it is inherently incompetent and cannot ever be fixed, while deifying billionaires. Aristocracy is inherently incompatible with democracy, and by default the aristocrats win. The only non-violent way to beat them is free and fair elections.

Protests do successfully force acknowledgment of problems from the majority of the population, that can be closed to different ideas trough other means.

They do also have a large amount of success in establishing as public knowledge that an idea is well supported, despite mainstream information channels claiming otherwise.

And finally, they have the form people take when fighting anti-democratic actions. What is a completely different action, but looks exactly alike from the outside.
I agree that this was a kneecapping and completely disagree that we need to privatize the USPS. Current administration has gained the ability to raise the price for packages coming in from China[1] and it has tried to charge Amazon more using USPS by witholding a federal 10 billion loan[2]. There are many more instances that reliably indicate the USPS recieves consistent hostility from the federal government.

No, I'm saying that both causing the postal service to fail to politically justify full privatization and interfering with mail-in voting for perceived benefit in the immediate upcoming election are actual motivations of the policies being implemented by the executive branch that impede USPS function.

I don't think either of those motivations is okay, in fact, I think the action being taken on either basis alone would be, and a fortiori them being taken with both motivations is, a serious abuse of executive power.
Most magazine articles probably are never read either. Same with news articles. Academic publications are "news for specialized research" nothing more.
Yes, and this doesn’t make any sense. There are a huge number of elements to product development, many of which are less important than tech.
Out of curiosity, what are those barriers?
Indeed, some uses of unsafe aren't meaningfully factorable. File backed memory maps or shared memory with other processes are other important real world examples that are difficult or impossible to meaningfully factor in the context of a single process. But I still think that saying "safety in Rust is factorable" is accurate beyond a mere first approximation. Figuring out how to encapsulate unsafety is, in my experience, the essential creative aspect to using unsafe at all. Because if safety wasn't something you could encapsulate, then Rust really wouldn't be what it is. (I have spent many long hours thinking about how and to what extent the safety of file backed memory maps could be encapsulated. Which is to say, factoring safety is really the ultimate goal, even if certain things remain beyond that goal.)
If they already know which company it is, they probably mean an internal recruiter.

When going via external recruiters, you tend to know you're talking to a recruiter before you find out which company the job is with.

I think the real question is how to justify funding a professor who has nothing to prove his value.

Recall in history how often we rediscover certain great theory or study of one or some underpaid scholars hundreds of years later? I believe it is reasonable to agree that we need keep funding to support a population of scholars whose contribution cannot be readily and accurately assessed. On the other hand, we also cannot afford to support every one who merely claim to be a scholar. So the question is how to keep the balance.

Shall we assume having professors writing articles that no one reads, is one mechanism to keep that balance? Even though the mechanism itself is far from ideal, but until something better prove itself, it is a futile argument.
That's an insightful and interesting idea.

The need to stuff keywords while also providing a clean and small resume that actually says something interesting other than the keywords, is a difficult tension.

Do you have any evidence that the keywords present in a cover letter are taken into account though?
He’s trying to justify that it is okay because it’s about privatization...months before a crucial election year. Doesn’t make sense. It’s gaslighting.

If I may, I'll add a correction to your quoted statement to give my intended meaning: “we don’t need a political party that relies only on support from workers.”

The subdivision and segregation of American political movements has been an incredibly useful tool in defusing them. The labor, civil rights, suffrage, identity movements, were powerful, but the lack of intersectionality made it so that once policy victories were achieved the tenor died down. My comment was focused on how this was a fundamental weakness.

For example, is voting by mail a "labor" issue? I would say no, and even if this opinion is generally wrong it shows the subdivision that occurs. There is no modern suffrage movement in the same way as existed in the early part of the 1900s. The idea of a "people's movement" is to say we need a political party that relies on the people, not kleptocrats, not lawyers, not donors, and fights for issues that are relevant to those people.

I didn't march in the recent protests because I am black, because I've felt fear from the police, because I've been systemically oppressed. Most of my peers didn't either, and the ones who were subject to those oppressions, among many others, are far braver than me, and for that I feel empathy. And for that we should march. These are issues of "people" because that's the most common denominator, not because we're excluding the factors.

The underlying thread of what I said is that we need a movement that relies on the common empathy we have for each other. I want community. I want justice. I want to love my neighbor, as myself. I want you to pray to your god while I mine, even if mine is just a nice bike ride on a Sunday morning.

And I know cynics, rightfully jaded by their lives, will probably say I'm being hopeful, youthful, naive. And I accept all of these, but I'd rather be those than have what we have today, what a simple cross to carry.

I guess I just want to listen to John Lenin's Imagine and feel like he's talking about my world. And I'm not the only one.
> That would be nice but [insert financing excuse here] others cant do it too.

I don’t know what this means.

>Yes but forcing just USPS to do it was an attack on USPS because it has to compete with private companies.

FedEx and UPS are subject to the same pension and retirement benefit funding requirements as USPS. It’s only government entities that aren’t regulated (because politicians like to be able to pay current employees with future taxpayer money and advertise they are keeping taxes low now so they get elected).

Not letting USPS set it’s prices is what might make it non competitive with UPS/Fedex.
There's actually only a small minority of countries where voting is a duty, not a right. Cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting. Still, it's interesting to think about how that would change the dynamics in the US. I think there is a lot to be said for making voting compulsory.
a serious problem with these exotic keyboards is, you need two. They're too big to take with you to work.

It is full of Apple (and other corporate) apologists. But I just want to point out that Google executives were saying some years ago that if Android was not part of Google, it would have been one of hottest startups in the valley.

Similarly, I am sure that if PASemi is spun off Apple, it may be the hottest CPU company in the world. I am sure that the Apple services will also do better outside the Apple hardware group. There are plenty of innovations and certainly there is the tendency to use them to raise the prices for consumers (which is illegal) as opposed to grow the market. I will refrain to say if Apple if guilty in this case, just saying that if hypothetically it is, this is not the end. In fact, many good things may happen in the long term by actually applying the anti-monopoly laws and breaking up a few companies instead of working around the laws.
There are a few private boats out there as well. One with a Trump 2020 flag just cruised through the camera shot.

My backpacks have these real small pockets for notepads still. Kindle just goes in there. On really long trips (Australia for a month) I bring all 3.

No. The Democrats need to be a political party that relies on support from regular people. Whether they are workers is beside the point.

Now, the unions were a good way of funneling support to the Democrats. (Which, by the way, was a bit unfair if you were a Republican and a union member, but that's not the point.) What's missing now for the Democrats isn't the workers, it's the mechanism for mobilizing bulk support.
I've found the same thing. I joined the forum about a decade ago, and then went dark for several years. I'll go back to the forum whenever there are changes in my financial picture, or tax law changes. I highly appreciate the users on there with 10s of thousands of posts, always helping out the new people.

The moderators over there are excellent. Perhaps a bit overzealous at times, but probably better to err on the side of conserving the "wholesome" nature of the forum.

Yeah, it's pretty much this in a nutshell. That's what is eventually going to shut down this whole 'cancel culture' issue, when people realise that the vocal minority screaming for someone's head on social media sites is pretty much irrelevant on a business level, and can be safely ignored.

I'm a bit disturbed that they are using Chromium + some javascript framework as the UI layer in the Crew Dragon.

Going with a browser-based UI for something as critical as this is insane, IMHO.

Sure, but it would require prolonged contact over a high body surface area to reach toxic levels.

https://watermark.silverchair.com/29-7-734.pdf

0.192 mg/cm2/min. Toxicity starts at ~7mL for an adult male. 7ml = 5.6g.

So if you dunked an adult male with a body surface area of 1.7m2 (17,000 cm2) into a vat of methanol, it would take ~2 min to absorb a toxic dose.

Or you could soak your hands (~2% of body surface area) in 100% methanol for 100 min.

This ignores that fact that concomitant ethanol exposure protects against methanol toxicity.
