Now, your manager might try to convince you that's this is not the case so as not to give you a raise but they obviously do have adjustment margins.

One of the things not mentioned about bexarotene is that it's very teratogenic. That makes it more difficult (but not impossible) to use it for women.

> Materials to support the Pregnancy Prevention Programme in women and girls of childbearing potential taking oral acitretin, alitretinoin, or isotretinoin have been updated. Oral tretinoin and bexarotene do not have a Pregnancy Prevention Programme in light of their oncology indication and specialist care setting. However, healthcare professionals are advised that these medicines are extremely teratogenic and product information should be consulted for contraceptive and pregnancy testing requirements when used in females of childbearing potential.

When used for cancer these side effects are very common (greater than 1 in 10) or common (between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100). Some of these are going to be mild and temporary. But some of them are serious.

Residential Building Codes Do Save Energy: Evidence from Hourly Smart-Meter Data
All of those offer static type checking. Python and Ruby's don't necessarily change how the code is compiled, but it might in the future. Common Lisp declare/declaim/proclaim changes the way the code is compiled; it's not just a linter. Clojure is definitely not dynamically typed, unless you consider Java to be dynamically typed.

Also dynamic typing is more productive (for application code, not talking bootloaders here). It's a measurable fact and apparent to anyone who has written code long enough. Writing out types for everything is mostly pointless clerical work which should be able to be done by computers.

This is a bizarre comment, because Google and Apple themselves were the ones to heavily push for 99c / free apps. I worked at a high profile game developer attempting to make premium mobile games at the very start of the lifecycle; no microtransactions, just an up front cost.

Having more people adds its own cost and there is a Pareto law in people's contributions.

Ask HN: Tips for finding non-support IT jobs?
Any tips for finding non-support IT jobs ? IT referring to jobs where you work with software, hardware, databases, networking, programming, tech, etc. Support referring to being obligated to fix other people's problems in person / over the phone, being on-call, etc.

The traditional advice might just be, well find what you want to specialize in and track roles by their keywords that sound desirable. That approach works if you are interested in relocating and playing a macro level labor market but it's not really helpful if you want to find all the jobs in a specific geographical region (or want to catch all the interesting one-off job titles). It's also not helpful if you are honestly interested in a wide variety of technology.
Unfortunately, men are so much more likely to wind up with a progressive form of the disease. I'm really sorry to hear that it has 'leveled up' like this. This is one of those fears in the back of my head, though with women it becomes more likely after menopause. I truly hope it doesn't get you down too much anymore and that you are able to find some enjoyment in life despite all this.

I am lucky, mostly: I'm 42 and have a bit of fingertip numbness and get some electric shocks sometimes. I wasn't diagnosed until around 2 years ago, though I had ON in my 20's.

It is somewhat odd, though: My neuro first tried to put my fears to rest, assuring me that it wasn't the same disease as it was even 5 years ago due to the drugs available. I wish more of them worked on progressive forms as well, and I'm still hoping for some miracle - it doesn't have to be a cure, per se, but something that at least heals more often.
Colored Rectangles by Dynamic Programming with Python by EzzEddin Abdullah
That's true, although as an individual that costs maybe ~$1k, and I imagine they get much better prices sending them a ship full at a time. I'd love to know exactly how much.

Plus intermediate parts (eg batteries) have to be shipped from China or the US until the factory itself is self sufficient, which may take a few years, and this eats in to the shipping savings. The Gigafactory Berlin plans currently approved do not yet include battery manufacturing.

As far as costs go, shipping is a distant third factor in the US/EU price difference (maybe 2%), compared to the import tariff (10%) and VAT (often >20%).

> If Wikileaks was as altruistic about shedding light on the evils of the world, why haven’t they published anything about China, or about Russia?

We should first determine if they had any comparable material about China or Russia and if this came from credible whistleblowers. Wikileaks for sure had at hand material supplied by US personnel working in the US Army and intelligence agencies. I would guess that being able to obtain material of similar value by whistleblowers of verifiable credibility from China or Russia would have been extremely hard.
It's unlikely that humanity as a whole will be lost. Civilization collapse is quite likely. "Natural ecosystem" collapse is even more likely (nature as we know it might stop existing). I recommend listening to Noam Chomsky. In the last few years he's been very active in pointing out how bad things are about to get (not in a fear mongering way, but to incite activism).
The distinction they try to make is whether or not timescale is a ‘value added’ thing or not. You can’t provide a customer with a hosted timescaledb for them to use as the service, but you can provide a dashboard that stores data in timescale.

Have you ever heard of whataboutism?
Years ago some danes (incl two adopted south koreans) went to north korea to film a satire documentary called "the Red Chapel" (trailer https://youtu.be/1aQRC_4LheY)

One of the members was a handicapped danish comedian, the other another very legendary satire comedian (now chef) and the director has later made many dox afterwards.

During their trip they participated in a military march. One of them wheel-chaired in a country known for "magically having no handicapped people".

Its equally incredible what they did in their visit as it is they got out alive.

Here is an interview with the director:

Because it is in their economic interest for people to believe that and they are in a large trade dispute with the origin country.

So without any proof this is essentially trade war propaganda.
The whole ban is so gross. It's clearly politically targeted to deplatform Trump critics all while firing people up about China.

For those that aren't familiar. TikTok is pretty ubiquitous in the under 21 crowd while being practically unused by older people. It's sort of like when young people fled to Twitter and Instagram to get away from their parents on Facebook. It's basically the next Twitter for that age group.

TikTok (the community, not the company) is also quite critical of Trump. For instance, the buying up of rally tickets a few months ago so he would show up to an empty political event was organized on TikTok and we know that it pissed Trump off [1].

That level of age and political specificity in their audience makes it easy to target them for their ideas.

This type of laser focused ban on specific conpanies (rather than, say, disallowing data to be stored in China or banning Chinese owned companies from operating) reveals the nakedly political motivation behind this action. "China is bad" is just the excuse here. It's really about banning a popular meetingplace for a political demographic opposed to Trump.

A broke college student with nothing to lose but time and a professional programmer have entirely two different definitions of "painful". A broke college student will spend two weeks learning emacs to avoid paying for a $100 IDE. A professional developer will happily pay for a $100 IDE if it saves him two weeks of time.
That statement is a textbook example of a domination strategy, and nothing else. People will lie through their teeth over money.

Your other reply is horrible - LMGTFY has apparently gotten much worse and now uses their own heavily monetized search engine rather than Google - so here's a direct link to what the source probably is:

Although the engineers in question were aware that they were being surveilled by their co-workers in real time, the source questioned whether their companions were similarly informed.

The author seems to confuse "better" and "more like others". The colors are a clear example of the latter, the developers didn't choose a light theme back then because dark ones weren't invented yet or because computers weren't powerful enough for them. Things like the completion UI may be a different story.
Yeah, I second the opinion that this remains optional. Ruby won't become a java-wannabe , that's a fight it cannot and would not want to win.

W3C and WHATWG signed and MOU last year to work together on documents and specs.

Regardless, to define a language it only makes sense to author the specification from the language perspective. From what I've read, and honestly it's been many years since I have read their stuff, most of the authoring docs have a section in them talking about applications and editors creating the documents.

I don't know, seems consistent to me?
This might be a bit of a novice question, but will this affect the initializations of ActiveRecord objects in Rails anything?

For example, processing a large CSV file and inserting new rows in a database from it has always been extremely slow using Ruby/Rails unless you basically just write raw SQL that copies from the CSV and don't do any initializations of Rails models, #create, etc. I wonder if this will improve these things at all, but my guess is that it has to do with memory usage and not the speed of Ruby?

> I have no doubt that countries in the periphery of major communist states had it worse... Just like countries in the periphery of capitalist states have it worse today.

When the Russians came to "liberate" certain Eastern European countries, they said: "We have it better than the oppressed people of the USA, and your country is even richer than Russia, so give me that watch!". Fwiw, I think they truly believed they were doing better than the US.
This is a "your tiny bubble vs. everyone else" thing. I'm a professional programmer in the US, and, even when I was working in a Clojure shop, I was the only emacs user. Think about that for a second: even working at a company where every dev is paid to write Lisp, I was the only one who bothered to set up emacs. The other developers were using the Clojure plugin for IntelliJ or the Calva plugin for Visual Studio Code.

And, to be honest, I can't exactly blame them. I tried setting up Calva the other day, just to experiment, and its out-of-the-box experience was far better than emacs'. It was literally just a matter of installing the extension and loading a Clojure project (I was using Leiningen for my project definition, but Calva supports others as well). It brought up a REPL, it started doing autocomplete, and you could even hover over symbols to view their documentation. And none of this required any kind of manual configuration on the part of the user.

At this point, I honestly can't really recommend emacs to any developer who doesn't already know how to use emacs. If you want to start programming, just download VSCode and get the plugins for your favorite language.
> would it not be fair to say that humans have exploded in number, along with livestock,

Only that part is fair to say. But that it:

> makes that a somewhat misleading statistic

Isn't "fair" at all. There the "misleading" claim, I guess, presumes that the cost of human and livestock population exploding is nothing to the rest of nature, whereas it's completely the opposite: that's one visible point, and the cause of all imbalances that follow.

The problem is, of course, that the change of the environment by humans has the consequences will impact the humans more than they are able to cope.
