I had this issue too at one point. I ended up soaking that part in vinegar (to remove the gunk on it) and then rinsing it off with water, which ended up fixing it. I assume it was just grinding due to mineral build up. Seems like it's a pretty common issue, as it's even listed on their website in the FAQ.
Finding a Software Developer Mentor When You're a Newbie
It’s definitely comically expensive. But I’ve had mine 15 years and it’s still the best least fuss humidifier I’ve ever owned. Oh and I never use their additive. Little dish soap (drop of two) in each refilling keep the water “sticking” to the disks nicely, nothing else to replace. Never had a mold problem with them either.
Finding Your Passion as a Dev
Doesn’t that create a positive feedback loop? You are mostly shown things you already agree with and everything else is mostly hidden. Could create an echo chamber quite easily.

Four areas of focus for successful technical leaders
There's no need for a specific number of humans larger than what's necessary to continue the species indefinitely.

"continuation of the species" is an arbitrary, and arguably pointless, goal though. I think we should be aiming higher than that. If exploring the universe is a possibility then a trillion people might well be necessary - the universe is a big space. Heck, we'll probably need a trillion times that number.

OpenBSD has never really cared about backwards compatibility with binaries. It often works, but then suddenly they break. The OpenBSD developers really prefer fixing bugs instead of working around them.

The driving force for this was the syscall origin check, but syscall ABIs change too. There's a speculative execution bug in ARM CPUs which requires barriers. This also requires patching.

Well on more anonymous platforms like HN or Reddit it probably doesn't happen that much, but on youtube, instagram, twitter, etc usually identity is no secret.

This is just more of my opinion, but generally the people I know that get caught up in bad echo chambers would have done so without the internet. The Alex Jones fans are just a new iteration of Rush Limbaugh fans, albeit more extreme. I think it's possible for otherwise reasonable people to get caught up in something like that, but they can also get out with time and more life experience.
“bringing domain expertise to AI”

Sounds like Re thinks AI is reaching the same turning point that Operations Research faced in the 1980s.

OR as an academic discipline focused nearly exclusively on mathematics and algorithms...until Moore’s law started making counting cycles a less important part of actually providing insight into real problems. At the same time, customers started demanding insights into the problems they actually had, instead of insights into the highly abstracted, often irrelevant, poorly baselined models that OR types with little domain expertise were building.

May I introduce AI to the discipline/art of systems engineering.

The systems engineer is the bridge between the AI methodologist and the process owner with a problem/opportunity. Normally the SE is a methodologist who develops enough of an acknowledged expertise in an application discipline to be able to both define the problem/opportunity in terms, say, a businessperson could accept as the real problem, and to guide the development of a prototype solution using, say, AI. The yield rate on the conversion from successful methodologist to successful SE was roughly 1 in 5 at Bell Labs, if I recall. A good SE is about as common as a brilliant researcher, but makes a larger and more immediate impact on the bottom line.

Highly impactful position, but leads to burnout if both the domain knowledge and the methodologies are evolving quickly. Riding two galloping horses at the same time...
I’ve said it for years, but straightforward approaches to signing logs and database dumps takes care of most problems blockchains are supposed to solve.
Now that is extremely interesting...

One of the things I've sometimes noticed (just going along normally) is that my mental "track" where I consciously keep up with/label/identify/classify environmental input, my own thoughts, ideas, etc, can sometimes lag, or get into a state where I don't have sufficiently detailed mental mnemonics to consciously tokenize raw perceptions, and as a result I can't correlate info and lose track of it. This happens constantly, especially when I try to learn new things; I'll basically be like "...!!!...wait what?" the whole time, realizing Amazing New Things™ that I'm then unable to mentally articulate to myself and then remember.

What you described, with time/reality changing/moving forward while you were resisting it (trying to pin it down so you could focus on it?) made me think of the above.

If what I described resonates, that could mean that psi doesn't "enhance" or have an altering impact on the fundamental issues/glitches/??? behind this mechanism, to the extent that all that happens is extra awareness of the problem, without really being able to affect it.
JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures (examples and explanations of each)
Based on what you've said, I get the same impression. If you want to connect with somebody, don't talk. Listen. Even if you "know" you're right.

As stubborn as you think those people are, they have a good case for arguing that you are just as stubborn if not more so.
This is a fantastic idea!

I'm going to write a similar one for myself. It never occurred to me that I could use a markdown file as a data files to record time against.

As an owner of the Z27, I can confidently say that for most people, a 27in 1440p monitor is a better choice over a 4K monitor in the same size. You'd likely need to increase the render scale on a 4K monitor at that size, resulting in a lower effective resolution.
While this is bad news, I hope something like this can make knowing someone's SSN not such a security risk. It blows my mind that in America if someone knows your SSN they could defraud your bank, and the bank can then blame you and make your life hard. If the bank decides to offer a loan or a CC to someone whose only identification is your SSN then it should be fully on the bank to recoup its losses.
Good job. And correct.
The method I chose was a clock-in/clock-out type of system where you can use the tool to start and stop tasks. Of course, you can type in and edit entries if you want, but the formatting is much more strict than your system.

I find it unlikely Google presents drastically different results (or adverts) for someone who is interested in DIY versus someone who might be looking for a contractor. Mostly because it's a terrible thing for Google to try and guess.

While Ted might find it convenient to target people based on whether they are wealthy homeowners who hire contractors or DIY guys, I have no interest in sharing that information with Google (or Facebook). It's neat for Ted, not so neat for me.

Other things which might result in "better" advertising which I don't like:

- Companies scanning my license plate while I'm at Home Depot.
- Someone camping the county building permits office with a video camera and facial recognition software.
- The phone company forwarding my phone records to advertisers.

All of these are similarly invasive to Google & Facebook's tracking and equally disgusting.

This is all particularly true since just buying the Adword for "Drywall Repair" in my area, would likely yield the exact same results without tracking.

I've been programming for 52 years. I'm still programming and enjoying it. For me the key was focusing on the end product, not on the programming. Programming was just something that I did to get the product I wanted. It is kind of fun, but not that important. When I was inspired to create something new and cool, I was motivated to learn the tools necessary to create that specific product. Then, I moved on. I have forgotten more languages, frameworks, and development environments, etc. than I can remember. They are not important. If you can imagine something neat to make, learning the tools to make it is engaging.
I'm well aware of ZFS and have used it many times. To noobs the world can be separated into "RAID" and "non-RAID" type setups. UNRAID (non-RAID) offers much more drive flexibility which makes it cheaper to start and add to over time compared to ZFS.

How is that compatible with their enforced (and disastrous) real name policy?
Same experience here. My conclusion was that the Honneywell model is just a vehicle to sell more filters, which are not that cheap in the long run.

Tired of the moldy mess, we too now run an ultrasonic mist'er. I can't say it makes a big difference, but it is quiet. Also routinely airing the bedroom with window open and ceiling fan spinning before the bedtime.

Ah, also had to plug that toxic bright blue light on our humidifier. Someone thought it's a nicely looking design, but such blue shining is hardly conducive to sleeping.
My strategy is to never do anything noteworthy.
They aren't/ can't use the code in any case.

They can use it to see how it was done and create an alternate implementation without using any of the original code/ binaries. Worse case, they can build a model of what is done and describe that to a third party who has never had access to the code in question. Essentially forming an information firewall.

Do you know their entire medical history? How severe the ADHD is? Any other issues they are treating or not treating? If you can point to a study to back up what you are saying then by all means go for it. Otherwise all you have is anecdotal evidence and pretty weak evidence at that.

Doing this so often that it hurts friends, family, and work.

I'm the same way, and once I stopped trying to "fix" this "disorder", I've become not only much happier, but also more productive. Just one anecdatapoint.

A lot of women I’ve lifted with were proportionately stronger than most men I’ve lifted with, injured less often, and more capable of lifting heavy things than I was. The person who taught me to deadlift was a ~140lb woman who could pull 330lb off the floor with her baby strapped to her. She was exceptional, but anecdotally I’d say women can lift whatever they want without any added risk of injury over male counterparts.
you can use JS to work with the DOM to do all your queries and calculations in a few lines of code

There's nothing wrong with the approach you took, and there's a lot to be said for just getting stuff done, but I suspect knowing a tool for handling HTML is the reason you're using HTML as a data format rather than any specific virtue of HTML. Rather than use something 'better', you used something familiar. I see that a lot. I'd argue that you missed an opportunity to examine ways to store that specific time series data in a format that could do more stuff faster with the same level of effort, and an opportunity to learn something that is a bit more appropriate for the task.

But, ultimately, you made something that works for you, and maybe that's more important.
FWIW, you are correct that it is essentially physically impossible for the single hose models to be as efficient as dual hose. Single hose models take in conditioned air, pump heat into it, then pump that air to the exterior. Dual hose do the same, but with exterior air as the input.

Single hose models have to work harder two ways. First, in pumping the air out of the conditioned environment, they're basically throwing away work they've done. Not all of it, but some. More the bigger the difference is between the interior and exterior.

Another thing they have going against them is that they need to pull air from somewhere -- the exterior. So their fans have to work a bit harder due to the pressure difference.

Dual hose models suffer neither drawback. Single hose portable ACs are an abomination that should not exist.
our emergency backup for slack is zoom. Horrible UX for group chats, but everyone already has it installed and it's quick and simple to set up a new room for each team. For temporary use you can put up with a fair bit of annoying behaviour or lack of features.

I ported Ruby 1.8 to the IBM BG/L supercomputer, and still enjoy writing self contented binaries for AWS Lambda/Batch. Last client project I did a lot of build engineering and developer experience (fast parallel builds/tests, a la carte EC2 batch instances for developers ...).

To everyone experiencing mold issues, there's an easy way to avoid it. Simply let the wick dry out between tank fillings.

I have eight of these Honeywells running in a couple of vacation rentals. I let guests know to run them till dry before refilling, and I make sure they don't sit wet between guests. I also run a large Holmes wick humidifier at my home. I've run the Honeywells for several years now, and the large Holmes for twelve years. In all that time, I've only had one episode of significant mold growth on a wick, which occurred when I accidentally allowed a wick to sit wet for several days on end.

If the wick stays wet for many days or weeks, it will mold. This is not a design flaw. It's unavoidable biology.

Also note that the UVC "disinfection" system in these Honeywells is useless. It might disinfect the tank water in transit to the wick, but that does nothing to address the innumerable bacteria and fungal spores supplied by the air passing through the wick. What the UVC lamp does do is slowly destroy the plastic base, so I always remove the UVC lamp when I buy one of these humidifiers.

I agree the fan should be more accessible, but it can easily be blown out with a computer duster or compressor.
I'm always wondering if there's a legit straight up M1 simulator (including gpu) that runs on x86 inside the bowels of Apple somewhere.

Like a 1/3 speed M1 simulator that runs on a 28 core x86 Mac Pro.

In all the ways of bringing up software/OS's on a platform, there's always someone in the core team who goes for the "write a simulator, and use that to bootstrap the software for the hardware" path.
Only because natural gas is so damn cheap it almost isn't worth selling.

If you're a natural gas producer, it makes a lot of sense to pump hydrogen fuel. Ignorant* people think it is green, so it is an easy sell to the populous. Since it is actually made from NatGas, the success of hydrogen would be a significant boon to a substance that has been teetering on the edge of being industrial waste for years.

* Unknowing, not stupid.
Mostly just init stuff. We're transforming Docker containers (mostly) into standalone VMs, so it's doing all the scut work of taking a completely stripped-bare booted kernel and getting it to a state where you can run an arbitrary Linux program on it.

I wouldn't want to take the thread off on a huge tangent, it's just funny that this was just recently super relevant to me (it would have been problematic if DNS-dependent Go programs depended on libc, because right now I can't assume there's a libc binary to be dynamically linked to).

Bringing it back to Go and its (sometimes libc-dependent) DNS libraries: it is very annoying how fiddly it is to get a Go program to use an alternative DNS server.
Yes. Second Generation. Working for the past 4 years in my dads Software firm.

Great opportunities to learn people management and customer management. The company is highly profitable.

But it has completely destroyed my relationship with my parents. This is primarily due to a mismatch in expectations. I previously worked at several unicorn startups, went to an Ivy league uni.

The pace of work in the family business is completely different to what I was used to - it is very laid back and running on zombie mode but with millions in profit.

Covid isolation along with this laid back approach to business really caused in a strain in our relationship along with the fact that we were all living in the same house( asian country ). I was supposed to take over the company in 2023 but that does not seem really possible now and I am currently job hunting ( they are not aware - I hope to leave on good terms ).

Mixing business with family might have been the worst decision I ever took. It might have worked if we have worked from different cities or something but living together pretty much destroys any work and life seperation. Any professional disagreements spill over into your personal life.
