Little different swing on things, but I'm an industrial engineer focused on improving factory performance. And a lot of that is simply building and refreshing reports. Often Excel, sometimes Access SQL, and occasionally R scripts. It's not particularly glamorous, but it truly does drive business decisions which neat to see.

Every time I start a new role, I write up detailed standard work for the processes and make notes of what can be improved. As time allows, I make those improvements. I also keep rough track of how long each update takes, so if I have 20 minutes before a meeting I can start and finish a task. This helps me on performance reviews because I can objectively say "I removed 1 FTE worth of report updating, creating ongoing cost savings".

The productivity gains are amazing. Over time, reports become fully automated. Logging improves, helping trace down errors. What used to be 8 hours per week of report updating becomes 20 minutes of validating data.

It's 10x easier to take a week off if your tasks are documented. I routinely write up a process then make another team member do it, so I can find the weakesses and fix them. This helps the bus number, and makes it easy for someone to cover for me if needed.

You probably don't; a federal law is probably sufficient.

Article I section 2 is the relevant part of the Constitution; it makes absolutely no statements about "The states are free to choose their way of allocating their House representatives so long as they are directly elected" and indeed that is absolutely not true; in fact the restriction to single member districts is a federal law passed by Congress, 2 USC 1 § 2c [1], after gerrymandering was producing multimember districts that were not state-wide in order to disenfrancise minorities.

Whatever happened to the whole seed panic? There was so much speculation that made no sense.
If the U.K. properly implemented the European directives, if a company sends you something without you requesting it (e.a. Unsolicited) than it’s legally a gift. Even if they add a bill (it’s unsolicited after all).

If they request it back you may send it back with property rights reverting to them (it’s a gift again) but legally there is no way to enforce it nor is there a request to get anything back For it (Ea. Money or other credit)

If there is no contract (Ea a purchase request/ intend) than anything a company Can send to a consumer is a gift.

The keyword in my statement is _operational_. Relational databases are excellent for analytics and reporting. But in an operational system with well-defined boundaries, it's more than likely that only portions of the larger system are required for any transactional behavior. In a modern architecture, you could simply write all transactions to an event store (write only) and use CQRS and a relational cache store for reads.

Another aspect of all of this is the misconception that we should design systems based on a relational data model. This only leads you through the whole impedance mismatch of ORM's and how you serialize/deserialize your bounded contexts or objects. We should not do this at all. We should design systems on those bound contexts and determine the data store accordingly. Operationally, a Document Database or Event Store is going to be the best tool.

We can fire change events at a data warehouse to store data in a relational manner for analytics and reporting, but none of that is necessary for our operational system.

In your operational system, if you need any sort of complex join, you've already created a poor design.

I will say this. This did not occur to me until I'd gone through the process of developing a complex system using Domain-Driven Design. Until you've done that, the old patterns will remain like concrete.
I addressed this.

> I can still write updates to a blog piece or add translations that people send in and everyone benefits from the dynamic nature of content, while still being able to either fallback or verify content at the time it was publish via the wayback machine.

Updates are usually good. Sometimes you need to verify what was said though, and for that wayback machine works. I agree it would be nice if there was a technical way to support both, but for the average web request it's better to link to the source.
That's where AR will shine. Having AR built-in to every window in a car will allow everything from safer driving directions to targeted advertising and real time environment beautification. Random roadside billboards will be replaced with extremely relevant targeted ads(gas ads when you need gas) and sprawling homeless encampments will be transformed into beautiful make-believe landscapes according to preselected themes. Things like crash avoidance will become more interactive with preemptive crash avoidance maneuvers being displayed in the driver's normal field of view.
Their whole argument is that the agreement shouldn't be enforceable, which is why they sued first. Naturally, that means they signed the agreement.

Years ago I was listening for one of early seasons of DSC for a year or so and it was kind of fun. Few years later I've looked him up and his new show has totally different vibe: grumpy old men with questionable political agenda. From DSC days I reckon he was a good entertainer but sucked in business. Hence I have little exepctations for his new venture.
This type of system would actually be quite expensive. Detecting flooding requires some kind of "flood sensor". Is that a water sensor? What happens when it gets covered in mud? Is it waterproof? How's it powered? How does it transmit data? Where is it placed? What happens if it falls over?
I’d encourage you to read R. Brian Ferguson’s work, especially Pinker’s List. It goes into Pinker’s methodological errors (basically, he double counts much of his data, and even without that, is over confident of the explanatory power of that data).

Considering all the new developments in the UK, all at the expense of the employee, there's a real business opportunity for someone who can help workers incorporate themselves as contractors under their individual limited companies.

Adverse events are monitored continuously as long as the patient is still a part of the trial (which often extends past approval).

Once the product is approved, the FDA has an adverse event monitoring system that collects reports and analyzes them for signals that might imply a previously-unknown adverse event.

Of course it take more than just one case to for a new signal to be identified (unless it's really obvious like the patient dies right after getting the vaccine), so sometimes it may be a year or more until there is enough data to say "yes, we know nearly all the risks associated with this vaccine".
"s" is a really dangerous parameter to use, though. 100% guaranteed that lots of sites already use it. I mean, fbclid isn't fun, but at least it's fairly unique.
> More phishing opportunities. Aunt Barbara can barely tell the difference between chase.com and chase-secure-login.com. Allowing baddies to register chase-login.security is only going to make things worse.

There's already an effectively infinite number of phishing opportunities just on .com alone; having more available TLDs doesn't make it appreciably worse. Indeed, Chase having .chase and .jpmorgan (which they do) makes things better, because if you see a .chase domain name then you know for sure that it's actually Chase. Any random .com could just be any random .com.

> I can't tell what's a domain anymore.

Try resolving it? You never could tell conclusively what was a domain name without resolving it anyway. Is asdfhjasdflkghasdgf.com a real domain name? Hell if I know. I sure can't tell just from looking at it. Is asdfhjasdflkghasdgf.technology a real domain name? Again, try resolving it.

> Every benefit you've listed can be had by having all your websites run off your main domain (eg. blog.google.com vs blog.google).

There's lots of downsides to running everything off one domain name. For example, big potential security vulnerabilities from cookie leaks between your more secure sites and your less secure sites. Google's blogs for example used to be hosted on googleblog.com, blogspot.com, and blogger.com. They already never shared the same domain as google.com for security reasons that long pre-date the existence of .google.

And as for your heuristic regex:

[a-z0-9-]{3,}\.([a-z]{2}|com|org|net)

You should like the new gTLDs then, because the state of things now is even simpler and can be expressed as:

[a-z0-9-]{3,}\.[a-z]{2,}

Also, your previous heuristic was already incorrect because it excludes a variety of common legacy gTLDs such as .gov, .edu, .mil, .info, .biz, etc. that all pre-date the most recent gTLD expansion. It also already included TLDs that don't exist anyway (not all 2-letter combinations are valid ccTLDs), so in that sense it's not any different from the simpler one.

When you use sed -i, a temporary file is always created.

Using FreeBSD as an example, see references to "tmpfname" in main.c:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freebsd/freebsd/master/usr...

The naming scheme differs between seds. GNU prefixes the name with "sed" while BSD encloses it between two "!"'s.

To see the name of the temporary file on BSD, something like

ktrace sed -i 's/foo/bar/' file
kdump ktrace.out|sed -n '/NAMI/p'
I grew up in a mountainous area of the US, and can confirm the presence of these personality traits, although it's hard for me to evaluate if they are more or less prevalent than in the coastal city where I now live (hello, mobility!). It's so hard to see into the lives of others, especially of enough of them to get a representative sample.

For those interested in the history of the European settlement of the US, I would suggest the book Albion's Seed:

https://b-ok.cc/book/1242050/e88335

The relevant part of the book is about the Scots-Irish settlers who came from the Borderlands. Those "Borderers," or Rievers, are historically combative, individualistic, and distrustful of government. They settled large parts of Appalachia, and from there they helped to clear the forests of the midwest and mine the Rockies. Think Daniel Boone. Think Alamo. They like to think they are independent and they like to fight.

The repercussions on US politics are huge.

It's hard to tell from the article through the link what the authors are asserting. While the conditions in the mountains may cultivate certain characteristics, they also attract certain populations. So this could be as simple as: mountain people settle in the mountains.

> because there’s always still the anxiety that someone might spot a flaw in your argument that you didn’t

What's the need to always being 100% right. There are very few situations where there is a 100% right solution. Most are optimized 80-90% for a particular problem set. Indicating that "within our context, we believe this is the best solution" goes a long way in creating that opportunity for discussion and deeper understand of either gaps in the context for the problem, or adjacent problems that may leverage the work.
A note of sympathy here, as people in sibling posts seem to be seeing this choice in a negative light regarding the resign-er's self-worth or competence. Leaving can be a powerful expression of "I have tried my best, hung on as long as I can. I love this place, and I love what we do, but I cannot stay. Something is broken."

It can be a hard choice, but one that sets an example for your colleagues: there are some situations which a person cannot abide ad infinitum.

If the situation pushed you so far as to resign, then you made an important choice.
I have done two big devops transformations so far in two different companies.. from manual deployments and no CI to CI/CD + infrastructure as code.

For me it usually goes with:

1. Have people trust you by usually executing a big project. For me it went by executing very well small projects and getting bigger projects until you're implementing a very big and critical project with a team.

2. Once you have executed (1) people usually trust or know you. Then you can start talking with people across the entire organization asking what hurts the most, make some list of things that are interesting to tackle and who would be the stakeholders

3. Choose one from the list of (2) and do it (or try to sell the need for it)! More often than not it involves a lot of conversation, empathy, teaching.. for example, if you want to implement CI/CD then be ready to:

a. Sell the value of tests

b. Teach best practices for testing

c. Have a skeleton project that people can easily copy

d. Have some tools to easily set up a Ci/CD for a project following the structure of (c)

e. Adjust notifications and workflows

And.. you have Ci/CD for a group. Now do the same for all other groups. Now your company has CI/CD, yey! Pick another item from (2)
I read Dr. Boone's article and looked over each intervention in the study's she listed. I noticed that many researchers were dosing once a month (one was only once a year!) at levels I would not consider therapeutic. Yes, at non-therapeutic levels, I would expect vitamin D to not show much difference from Placebo. I am not a vitamin D expert, but am wondering why she selected to discuss research that didn't even match current vitamin D recommnedations. Her favorite research was VITAL which I was thrilled to learn was daily for 5 years. Unfortunately, it was at a level (2000IUs) that could leave many people at subnormal levels of vitamin D. 1000 IU will bring up blood levels 5 ng/mL. 30 ng/Ml is considered okay. Many people believe that levels between 60-100 ng/mL is better. I have a genetic defect that keeps me below 30ng/ml regardless of sun exposure. I supplement at 15000 IU per day. Which brings my levels up around 70-90ng/mL
And nice means "mean or small-minded", and silly means "saintly", and terrible means "inspiring terror". Or at least they used to -- but usage evolves over time past etymological roots.

"TFA" is indeed a back-formation from "RTFA", which is the online-forum equivalent of the aggressive and obnoxious acronym "RTFM". But it contains no verb; and in online discussions there's a sort of a hole in our language for an efficient way to say for "the article currently under discussion". So it quickly lost the aggressive and obnoxious connotations that RFTA has.

As such, I think "The Fine Article" is an expansion more fitting with its evolved usage.

I haven't tried this personally but my company has a relevant policy and I've considered it from time to time.

The employee handbook lays out opportunity to take x% of your current hours for x% of your current pay. If you'd be happy working 4x8s and 80% salary + 80% bonus works for you? As long as your manager doesn't object, go for it.

I think this is a great benefit to offer. Abstractly, I imagine that the system means that once you hit an income threshold you're happy with, a 10% raise immediately gets converted into 10% less hours per week. You never retire, just get asymptotically close to doing so.
> It's the first time you bring up "western values". That's why I asked what you're referring to as "our".

See my original comment

> Can you name a single thing in the past decade came into your consciousness from Chinese PR (that isn't re-broadcasted from western editorials)?

What's in the parenthesis makes that a near impossible criteria since western media does do global coverage depending on what you mean by editorials. It is important to remember that the media here doesn't have to report back to any single entity. There's multiple countries, multiple organizations. Each with their own bias. But every country does report on global news.

If we are considering news that isn't editorials, then yes, plenty. There's been plenty here on HN. TikTok's response was on the front page. Several news organizations have defended TikTok. Some have issued (non-editorial) pieces on both sides. There's a lot of talk of military, which is PR. Economics. Quite a lot of economics and how fast China is growing. That's PR too. How quickly China dealt with covid 19. That's PR too.

So either this is trivial or impossible depending on your statement in parenthesis.

That doesn't seem to be an issue of trust so much as demonstrating that uncomfortably assumptions they "think are fair" should don't hold true at all. Skilled weavers may have thought their craft virtuous but they were throughly bested by cloth mills and vast automated of early industrialization.

Sure those involved may feel screwed over but they never were betrayed - they just had wrong expectations that the world did not vindicate. It brings to mind a joke about the last Phrenology graduates before the field was disproven having the king of worthless degrees.

Fundamentally the question in both cases is "Why should everyone else support them in their endeavors?" The kid has "because ads and views" financially and because people want to watch it. The PhD in Humanities implicitly lacks an audience, let alone a way to monetize it.

What is knowledge? What is talent? If they aren't defined they could be trivially gamed. Epistemology ironically plays into it as well - how is the knowledge validated in any way? What separates a schizophrenic crackpot who believes that our brains are being kept in jars on the dark side of the moon from Aristotle's lauguably bad impetus physics of projectiles except history and how persuasive an essay is about them? Both are objextively wrong and don't contribute anything in themselves.

If any configuration may be studied or composed regardless of validity and rewarded it encourages a "parasitism" of making up bullshit as the path of least resistance instead of anything remotely productive which is no good for a system which wants to sustain itself.

Of course there are also many layered ironies in practical producitivty as a framework as opposed to abstract intellectual theory. Theory which "escapes" and proves useful tends to disrupt and utterly outdo the "productive" of old rendering the former practicioners living historic artifacts.
> Just because it's illegal in the USA doesn't make it illegal everywhere

You'll get 100% agreement from me on that, and for example I think the ongoing promulgation of global US jurisdiction using USD as a wedge is a travesty.

But we're discussing human rights and restrictions on government, not what the US has declared illegal for US persons being applied to non-US persons. We're really talking about applying US law to the US government, operating abroad.
