This is the same reason humans can eat most fish and nearly all plants raw. The evolutionary distance is so high that infection is basically impossible.

What could still be very dangerous, is otherworldly defence mechanisms like toxins. Plant and fish toxins are commonly deadly to all higher life forms
Thanks for finding that.

>>I loathe the whole drive to get promoted, instead of working to do what makes sense to improve your team, your teammates, and your company.

Enough with this nonsense.

If you/organizations wanted this, they'd put their money on it and hire/pay people for doing good work. Instead of repeating elaborate back channel rituals that involves lobbying/counter lobbying and cartel like work to secure promotions for their people.

Heck not even hiring is done on these standards. People ask whiteboard leetcode questions, while what they want is skilled and productive people. They keep hiring unskilled jumping jacks, who barely contribute 6 months to any project/company and then move on. You pay top money for these people and then simultaneously screw raises/bonuses/promotion/rsus's for seasoned contributors. People who have contributed are screwed routinely and noncontributing jumping jacks are showered with rewards to drive the point home that no company or manager ever cares about skill, productivity, learning, work or value any more.

>>will do what I can to support those that focus more on improving the team vs. chasing a promotion by focusing more on showing how they’re better than everyone else.

Managers say these things because they need to keep the few contributors playing in order to fleece them so that the whole game can be paid for.

>>Even if this is more effective strictly regarding getting promoted, I would much rather be — and work with — the type of people that care more about elevating the team.

Pretty much no body does this.
A salient point is that whereas the requirement to use the billing system will be phased in at once any benefits rolled out to users as part of android 12 will take 4 years reach 80% of users.

ndroid 9 released more than 2 years ago and is now and 52% of users are now on 9 or later whereas more like 80% are at least on 7 which was released 4 years ago.

Interesting, thanks for that insight! The respect for these “craftsmanship jobs” like baker or carpenter is certainly going down though. Everyone wants to study. Although that might be in parts because of the freedom and great time you have when studying.

But on the other hand, I am always very surprised to hear about “college dropouts” who make a living by working e.g. in a clothing store without any formal education. That seems to work.
Your #1 piece of advice will work better if you rephrase it like "keep at it" or "stay persistent". People, drunks and kids (so humans basically) understand you better if you leave out the negation, which the brain would have to translate first. Critical with children IMWO, "Don't run on the street" vs "Stop" / "Stand still", or less critical "Don't let it fall" vs "Hold it tightly". Focus on what you want.
Just a quick comment to say that I would enjoy reading more about this hearing from other perspectives, but am unable to find many other sources.

I'm Australian and view the extradition as an important question - regardless of anyone's views of Assange as an individual. The media here only really covered that Assange interrupted the proceedings, and when the hearing was interrupted by the COVID19 testing.
I've experienced this kind of software working on an hourly contract via UpWork. It would take screenshots at random points in 10 minute intervals, and would track number of mouse clicks/key presses. I think everything was logged officially at the end of the day so if you happened to be on a personal site during the screenshot you could delete it and you'd lose those 10 minutes from the total number of hours you had logged. Honestly, I didn't mind it - but I was getting paid really well for the job and I'm not sure the client ever bothered checking the logs (it was just the system UpWork made you use to guarantee payment so there was also some benefit for me). In that specific use case, especially because it helped guarantee my payments (if the you hours using the software it's very difficult for the client to dispute those), it didn't feel as dystopian as it sounds. If my current employer (full-time, salary) started using something like this I think I'd feel very differently about it.
How about adding a public view? It would be nice if i could share allocated blocks (without text) publically, in that way it might actually block someone from disturbing me
It does however completely bollocks up all the subsequent trigonometry functions. Even intel says not to use them.

Also alas, 80bit is a bit of a misnomer - when comparing to the more regular ieee754 representations, it’s actually fp79 :D
This is my experience as well. If DDG gave me the same quality of results as Google, I might use it. Until then, I don't care. Privacy alone isn't going to cut it, if I only cared about privacy and not the results, I would send my queries to /dev/null instead.
May I ask where can we find the "sister web app typeatap"? I'm slowly introducing my 3.5 yo daughter with the keyboard. She can pronounce letters from A to Z, and write them on paper in upper case. I'd love to hear about more educational app like this!
My favorite youtube channel is a Dutch guy who bought an old Russian tank and is getting it in working condition. He talks Dutch, with an accent, from his loud workshop, and uses all the right vocabulary for the things he is working on. This means, he is using a lot more than the most common 300 or so words.

There is no way automated captions can be anywhere near OK for that.

He currently has a community of volunteers supplying captions and has as a result an audience of Russians and other eastern europeans, who partly used to drive or work on these tanks, watching his channel. This is now made impossible thanks to google.
Assuming some of the life-containing mass ejected from the collision had enough velocity to fully escape the gravity of not just the colliders but the entire star system it started in, that life would have to then survive for probably hundreds of thousands or millions of years of transit _and_ the re-entry and impact on the other life-sustaining planet it hits (assuming it hits anything, or doesn't fall into a star instead).

I'm not saying it couldn't have happened, but even on a cosmic scale it sounds like it would have to be an exceedingly rare outcome.
Same in US, except pharmacist in the US must go to school for at least 6 years.

I once went to court against a client who wouldn't pay his bills. The sum more than 35K. It took over 9 months to get to court ( as the court wouldnt give a date ) and countless docs and hours spent to come up with evidence folder. In Australia, a citizen can argue their case which I did without using any lawyers.

Finally, we both argued our case to a point where the client's defence was that there was no time log for the work that I had done. I pointed out that the contract stipulates performing of tasks and is not contingent on time spent. The judge laughed and ruled in my favor because he was fully onboard the argument that it doesn't matter ,legally speaking, how much time I was at the computer but matters that the task promised were delivered with high quality. The funny thing is that the client agreed that he has seen positive returns but felt overcharged. The judge on hearing this reprimanded him for wasting everyone's time and awarded costs and interests.

Pay for work not time spent on the computer.

> Choosing different wording and expressions for emotions will not change how you feel or how you act.

It might change how you perceive emotions, which might change how you feel or act.
I never do that on Upwork (always allow manual tracking) but I also liberally end contracts if things don't go fast. Might as well eat the loss. Don't have time to go looking through screenshots. But I wonder sometimes if its worth it to force auto-tracking just maybe for the upworker's sake (like it keeps them on a task they'd want to do but are having trouble sticking to).

But that's low-end stuff. For mid-end stuff it's all milestone-based anyway.

For way high-end stuff I don't care except that thing gets done and then I need high quality contractor who keeps me up to date. If he can't communicate and I start getting anxiety about the outcome, he's got to go.
I'm saying they could audit courses instead of 'taking' them if learning was the objective. Of course, 19-year-olds would never audit courses instead of taking them, because they understand that the degree is valuable, and the knowledge is not.
I used to work at a bank whose homeworking remote login system would timeout after a ridiculously short period. The solution (used by many, and widely publicised around the company) was to place an optical mouse over the face of a clock whose movement would trigger a tiny movement every so often and keep you logged in.

I'm sure the remote staff at his company have worked out how to browse facebook and instagram on their phones whilst hitting the down key on their keyboard with the other hand.
In fact, psychologists strive on wording, asking angry people why they are "irritated" and such, so there's nothing new in influencing attitudes through language.

Trying to present it as a mighty self-administered hack is probably still quackery.

I can give a philosophical answer rather than a technical one. Our lives are filled with learning various things. And we all realize there is no end to it. But truly what makes you feel better about what you do is not this endless learning. It is when you can drop what you learnt and think freely about a problem that you can solve. Until you reach there, you are in a boat tossed by the waves trying to grab whatever you can to keep yourself afloat. Please disregard this answer if it is not of any help.

Yes, the quantity is different, the quality I'm not sure about. Are Chinese internment camps worse than Gitmo or Abu Ghraib?

The Chinese have apparently kidnapped people off the street as well, but not in Western states to my knowledge. That's different with the US, though maybe they haven't kidnapped anyone in China or Russia.
> For the last year and a half he has used Hubstaff software to track his workers' hours, keystrokes, mouse movements and websites visited.

Whilst the CEO in this case seems to be fairly flexible, and says he doesn't mind if people are taking a break here and there, this kind of... Someone staring over your shoulder, albeit electronically, probably wouldn't work for me, and by inference, others. It can increase stress, and cause the opposite of increased productivity, if your assumptions about how your workers work isn't correct. You can only have lax barriers if everyone falls within them.

Most of my time with code is not spent typing. Probably about half is spent reading, and most of the rest is spent thinking. I generally do not start typing until I've already got most of the structure worked out in my head, and usually with incomprehensible diagrams (to everyone else) written on paper beside my computer.

If you set up what seems proportionate at first, something like logging if I haven't touched my keyboard in twenty minutes, then you'll be flagging me as unproductive all day long. But if you compare it to tickets closed, you won't see me at all - I'd fit within the average for bugs fixed and features implemented.

---

Addendum: It may also be pointless logging my mouse movements - I used to generate heatmaps for those. Until I realised that I move the mouse only a few times a day. Wasn't on purpose, but I tend to use the keyboard almost exclusively, since I started to lose my eyesight.
IIRC it was a US state that decided we only needed one decimal place of accuracy - I want to say Kansas, but it could have been Oklahoma or Indiana I think?

The criticism on Wayland usually tends to oversee that its developers are the same that used to work on X.

No. nginx remote exploits are extremely few and far between. Hosting a static site made out of html pages and actual files in directories is incredibly low risk and requires no maintainance or particular security knowledge.

If all you need is a simple webserver it's best to host it yourself. If you need anything more you're better off letting someone else host it.

In Germany only doctors can prescribe, but there's a big class of pharmaceutical products that can be sold without a prescription, but only by at pharmacies (e.g. not at a supermarket or convenience store). The vocationally trained pharmacy worker ("technician") can do that selling as well I think, but a university trained ("pharmacist") is required in a supervisorial role (e.g. the "technician" level cannot run their own pharmacy, not even a chain branch).

Much of the university requirement is a bit of an anachronism because a lot of the underlying reasoning is nominally based on the scenario of pharmacists manufacturing their own drugs in the backroom, but fortunately there seems to be a lot of political agreement that opening up requirements for theoretical efficiency gains would only enrich aggressive investors without making health noticeably cheaper.

I find the reminders app on my phone is good enough.

I have a folder called "habits", with reminders that appear at chosen times of day and days of the week.

I look at my phone frequently enough that I can't really ignore them. My memory is crap enough that I forget what they're going to be, so I scroll through them once in a while. It's mildly satisfying for me to "check" them at the end of the day, and to write my 5-word summaries on progress or lack thereof in the notes app.

This is the right solution, but of course is harder for some occupations - call center, sewing buttons, and more mundane work. Where 'bad' employers can push up the amount of work expected.
The security implications of this software must be devastating. To prevent being defeated by the employee, it'll be essentially a rootkit already. Any black hat that finds a way to gain authorization will basically have a ready-made botnet. Let alone all the personal and corporate data they would be able to ransom and sell.

I think I now understand what has been lost in the transition from oral to written tradition.

These stories, while unquestionably great, are specific in application, not general. For every situation when somebody makes themselves useful to the point of being used and abused there is an equal and opposed extreme of somebody (same or else) being useless and being proud of it in excess.

The value and benefit of this kind of stories is crated by the old wise person with a shaman role who judging from the outside knows which story to tell in which situation. Otherwise, by reading it, somebody in one of the extremes can use the story to justify doing the wrong thing or going even more to that extreme.

I love the Jackbox games.

However in my experience most games's shared world state cannot be reconciled if one player's action is inserted in time prior to another player action. Or future actions reveal hidden information.

Even turn based games have turn timers. Including Jackbox games!

Among public databases there may only be two correct CRDT implementations in the world - Cassandra's and etcd's. Compare to how many database products make CRDT or CRDT-like promises, and how few probably actually work.

Lots of software promises CRDTs-like-over-actors, e.g. Erlang, the new Cloudflare product. Not really qualified to talk about them.

Most applications normal people use boil down to chat conversations - chat apps, Gmail, Facebook, collaborative text like you said, all sorts of log-like things - or serial, recommendation-driven consumption - YouTube, Netflix, which use incremental / batched cells in a matrix to update their recs. This stuff is insensitive to order and time. Then there's e-commerce, which is inherently linear, centralized, single-actor, all-or-nothing transactions, CRDTs provide no advantages here.

It's tricky. On the one hand you'd get this interesting discussion of CRDT applications. On the other it may wither under intense scrutiny.
How to approach theming a Design System
MacOS has the ability to prioritize audio threads to avoid scheduling misses [0]. Linux has a set of patches [1] to give it soft real-time capabilities. I don't know as much about Windows, but I assume it has similar capabilities.

And it's not like this is ABS firmware, where someone might die if you miss your deadline, and where hard real-time OSes are used. But you do get glitches in the audio stream, which in performance contexts is still pretty bad.

> it didn't feel as dystopian as it sounds

My mother grew up in a dictatorship, and most of the time is like any other country. People would come on vacations and they will not even notice any difference. The only problem is when you get into problems, then you have no recourse.

Dystopias in movies are felt each minute of the day, real dystopias are not like that. You should read Kafka's "The Process". Everything is normal until it is not. It is a better depiction of a dictatorship than a 3 hours condensed movie.
Degrees cost the same because Universities don’t understand the value of their degree programs and they don’t understand the costs of each one.

>Colleges also have a lot of issues around cost. They haven't been good at tracking their costs or really knowing what their programs cost. For example, a lot of colleges don't know what it costs them to graduate a nursing major, versus an English major, versus a business major. And that's in part because the college business model is so complicated.

This is very short-term and ideological perspective. Central planning is wrong and therefore any attempt to influence what materials we produce and use as a society better have a damn good reason that can demonstrate an immediate and clear return on the irksome cost of interfering with the free market.

I think the war on plastic represents our collective awareness of human harms to our planet. Whether the solutions we come up with are expensive, ineffective or even somewhat harmful isn't more important than the fact that we are beginning to factor human impact into our economic models. Dealing with the harms of plastics today isn't really the problem to solve - creating ways for us to factor in those harms and prevent/manage them over the long-term is.

Does anyone have any insight on why performance on OpenBSD is so much poorer? I'm really curious. I would have predicted the opposite: that OpenBSD is faster on account of its leaner.
I've looked into auditing courses for free a few times at my local and graduated college, but I could never find any decent information for the process accept for full-time students (which is straight forward). And for the alternative of paying to audit the course, what is the point? It's the same course, may as well get the credits for it. It's the same as not auditing.
Yes, maybe it's better formulated as "don't listen to predictions from people with a record of inaccurate predictions".

Reminds me of a friend who currently leaves a heavy object on his spacebar inside a text doc at night, so that it shows him active all the time. That way they won't see when he clocks in. It's one of those jobs where it doesn't matter when he does the work, but the silent judgment of the clock causes stress anyway and people make comments.
Many universities and professors allow auditing for free; there's often no process for it because nobody wants to audit.
I've never installed that tracker and never been asked to, by clients. Never had a dispute or lost payment. It's mostly about choosing clients with care.
If random independent life emerges on Earth now it's not surprising old life that had billions of years to optimize for the environment and in general just outcompetes it immediately.

Expecting the opposite would be like betting on a random path in a graph with millions of edges to be faster than a path that was optimized by billions of computers for billions of years.

It's not that old life optimized for killing the new life (it probably didn't because it doesn't seem to be a common enough occurence). It's that the new life would be very likely very bad at everything.
The top comments have dissuaded me from reading the book. What book should I read to learn how to process my emotions more effectively?

I found the idea of this book interesting because it seems to encourage "precision" in describing how one "feels".

> instead of saying “I’m scared,” she blurted out: “I’m experiencing high arousal from uncertainty.”

Are there other schools of thought in emotion-processing which are (i) not crank, and (ii) do a good job at teaching one how to process?
