I think it's quite a difference whether your boss already knows (or thinks) you can do the other job and still tries to not pay you the bump and you doing the extra work to get noticed.

In my case it wasn't even to get noticed. I just care about stuff. My current boss is actually trying to make me 'care less'. Like I can't leave it alone if I see the PMs do a crap job and I try to fix it. I can't not say something when I see the DevOps guys not taking care of the dev envs and dev experience.

Also when did this start? Like hundreds of not thousands of years ago. Why?

That's a tough one, but I presume he did try to google things before offing himself? Or do you think he just panicked?

We've had issues with people lying on online prescription forms in the UK and getting opioids and other controlled substances. Once one person has got them, the 'right answers' spread online and tons of less-informed folks get in. I don't think you can rely on any online form without checking documents.

There's at least one way this is beneficial for the employer: Desperate, obsequious job-seekers will be more willing to tolerate the degradation of being judged by a computer. It's perfect for finding employees who will ask "How high?" when you tell them to jump.

I applied to a few jobs at United Healthcare and they kept sending me HireVue interview invitations. Every time I rejected them and when prompted for feedback I said I don't want to be evaluated by a computer. Never heard anything from them (and didn't expect to).
It's been established that security itself does not increase revenue nor make the quarterly returns look good. Unless there's an incentive for key stakeholders to spend more resources to strengthen the security of their deliverables, it is unlikely for things to change in the near future.

Perhaps a change in KPI or regulation requirements may create such incentive to ensure appropriate actions are taken.

Yes, I think that the only chance Mozilla has to ever conquer Chrome and its clones is to finish the Firefox code conversion to Rust.
How would you feel if someone high up decided to shave all your hair off? Can we agree it's not the existence of hair clippers which is the bad thing in this scenario, and that it's the "forcing things on people without their consent" which is bad?

So if conversion therapy actually worked, and was just a thing you could freely do or not do - like you can migrate and become a citizen of another country, or join another religion, or learn another language, or get a tattoo, or participate in consenting BSDM, or any other personal choice about your body or life, would it be automatically worse because it's conversion therapy?

IMO this is not a problem with education alone. I think in order to be information literate, one requires a lot reading. However, the apps/websites now are promoting shorter attention span, feeding them with information that stimulates their reward pathway, it would be hard to focus with reading.
And this is not only for kids, I find myself much harder to focus on reading long articles/books now.
There's some super-interesting recent empirical work from MS research that makes this perspective less likely to be a useful one. In short, the behavior of neural networks in a few regimes makes this interpretation of them less likely, specifically: ensembling the same network trained multiple times separately improves results compared to training multiple networks concurrently, knowledge distillation works, and self-distillation works. The blog post[1] has a good intuitive explanation of the matter and a link to the paper.

If you excel at management, you will eventually make more than most ICs, especially in a tech company where they have to pay up to get engineers to convert to a meeting oriented job.

I was a good tactical/operational manager but did not enjoy many aspects of the job (bureaucracy, performance reviews, personnel problems, being 'corporate'), had limited interest in strategic business concerns, and did not have the enthusiasm needed to move up the management ranks.

I'm much better suited to being an individual contributor.
> What is the magic answer to COVID? Masks and Lockdowns?

I can't claim to have a magic answer, but there are loads of things the government fumbled.

For example, in July the government was claiming to be surprised by asymptomatic carriers even though they'd been well known since the Diamond Princess, right at the start of the pandemic. Perhaps we could have had leadership who were on top of basic, well known facts?

The national track-and-trace system was a shambles - surprising no-one, as it was built by contractors with a long track record of failed projects, overseen by unqualified cronies.

Perhaps back in March, the decision not to covid test patients being discharged from hospitals into nursing homes wasn't such a smart move?

Perhaps we shouldn't have made the bizarre decision to reopen universities for in-person teaching, sending loads of students travelling up and down the country to live in cramped, shared accommodation.

Maybe it wasn't so smart to have that period between lockdown 1 and lockdown 2, when people were allowed to go on holiday to france and spain - then the government would announce a rules change with 24 hours notice, forcing holidaymakers to race back to the UK? That was some truly weird public policy.

Perhaps the government's announcement that they wanted people to stop working from home and go back to working in offices, a few weeks before the had to call for the second lockdown, wasn't such a smart move?

Maybe when we had a second lockdown we shouldn't have announced an end date for it up front, and ended it when the load on hospitals was clearly still rising. Maybe that way we wouldn't be in our third national lockdown right now.

Perhaps we shouldn't have waited nine months before we started testing truck drivers and others entering and leaving the country? And perhaps new arrivals' self isolation should be something more credible than them giving a pinkie promise?
I think it's a mistake to see homosexuality as a binary on/off switch; in many cases it's a gradient.

I'm generally heterosexual, but I've also had sex with a man. It's was okay, I guess, but I'd prefer women. On a scale of 0-100 my "gayness score" is probably about 10-20. A hard strong 0 or 100 is probably a lot less common than it's often portrayed: it's more of a bell curve.

One explanation I've read is that gay men are more likely to be left alone with women as they're perceived to be less threatening; giving the gay man a chance to propagate his genes through infidelity (infidelity is fairly common throughout human history). The ever-eqloquent Richard Dawkins once called this "the sneaky fucker strategy".

Something similar could also apply to women.

It's hard to be sure of these kind of things, since it's, well, pre-history, but there are some models which can explain the propagation of homosexual genes and/or behaviour.
I think you'll find that pro-choice folks are split (perhaps many different ways) on this question. Personally the way I view the problem is through the lens of minimizing harm to all parties involved -- and as such, I wouldn't say that it's "not wrong" to kill a fetus, just that in most cases it is the lesser harm than forcing a woman to carry an unwanted child and to bear the life long responsibilities that it entails.

In that lens, imagine a scenario where a woman is happy to be pregnant and excited about becoming a parent. Then she learns the child will be male, and she decides to abort it. There's a wide gulf between between the harm of "didn't want to be a parent" and the disappointment of "didn't want a son". It may help to imagine this with even more trivial features: "oh the baby is going to have blue eyes? never mind then...".

For something like trisomy-21, I find myself of mixed mind. On one hand, there are many things that can happen to a child through their life that could end up posing a similar impediment to the child and burden on their parent. On the other hand, since we're able to detect it so early, perhaps it is the best way to minimize harm.

Why does something like this control ever need to be online? I find myself saying that a lot these days.
Whew. Really fun to read. Some good first ideas of what to expect. A good solid boost in power-efficiency & big jump in capability over the classic ESP8266 would be most welcome! There definitely seem to be a lot of the good peripherals from more modern/fanciful chips that have made it on to this chip, which is awesome!

I am a bit dismayed at this review being so unspecific, though. Which ESP32 chips is this competing against? Are these a bunch of first gen ESP32's (2016) we're running off against? Seems so. What about the newer -S2 or -S3 variants: might they have better power efficiency figures than the original ESP32? Hackaday has done reviews of the newer chips, but never compared their power. This ESP32-C3 preview is the first review that shows any power consumption figures (that I've found so far). Part of me hopes we find that this modest boost in efficiency is indeed a good win (notably for those with not a big amount of computational needs) but another part of me is hoping that this coverage has failed to show progress that has been made, that the better more modern chips it's not covering have already eeked out some better efficiency than what 2016 had brought us, and that this coverage has simply failed to look at more contemporary Espressif chips.

Anyhow, CoreMarks/mW are not the end all be all of chip efficiencies. It's a pretty narrow window to look through. This is clearly a smaller chip than the ESP32 & typically small chips get trounces in terms of power-efficiency, & while not winning it's clearly quite an improvement, holding up well. But there's still so many other factors that could affect real world power consumption. There's almost no other chips on the market that boast Bluetooth & wifi, pickings are so slim, Espressif is one of the very very few that have served this critical core innovation realm, the wireless maker & product creator. Any bump would help, and there's clearly a decent one here for the low end. But exactly what kind of gains we're really going to see, how much better power consumption we get, especially with more wake/work/sleep intensive cycles (versus the more work-oriented cycles demoed here), is going to be a critical determinant to what kinds of devices/products we all can make. What products we can fit in a power budget.

Basically the hope is that comments like this might be somewhat addressed:

> Interested to see how it does for power consumption- which always seems the achilles heal of the ESP32. Whilst the ESP32 has a good deep sleep mode, wakeup takes so long that it eats lots of power and saps how long a battery-powered project can run.

Also: contrary to the headline @victor82 gave: no, it's not hitting the market... yet. This is an early demo. Hard to guess how many months we have to wait until there is any kind of availability at all.
Time to do a few slightly larger scale studies, and then some even larger ones. We’ll have the results in 6 months already!

My guess? 14 studies with positive results like this, and one that shows no effect. So the WHO will put out a statement that no, scientific meta studies show this clearly doesn’t work and should never be used.

Common advice is to only invest in what you understand. If these markets are so obscenely complex only insiders can understand them then doesn't that limit their potential?
That weird caveat about right handedness actually makes me think this is a spurious correlation.
The point is not that. It’s that when you search for “cute animals”, Google shouldn’t be storing that you searched for that, or even care. Your location is arguably potentially relevant but it could be coarse enough except when searching for directions to allow at least some caching.
Or just downsample the image to a reasonable size and deal with it. Nothing inherently wrong with having a popular image.
I was the one saying absurdity and I think you’re missing the context. Work out how much processing power is worth even just another 1 cent per thousand page loads and perfectly rational behavior starts to look crazy to the little guys.

Let’s suppose the Facebook cluster spends the equivalent of 1 full second of 1 full CPU core per request. That’s a lot of processing power and for most small scale architectures likely adding wildly unacceptable latency per page load. Further, as small scale traffic is very spiky even low traffic sites would be expensive to host making it a ludicrous amount of processing power.

However, Google has enough traffic to smooth things out, it’s splitting that across multiple of computers and much of it is after the request so latency isn’t an issue, and it isn’t paying retail so processing power is little more than just hardware costs and electricity. Estimate the rough order of magnitude their paying for 1 second of 1 core per request and it’s cheap enough to be a rounding error.

> All that's required for a trait to persist, is for it to benefit the pool, not the individual.

This is a well debunked belief. Genes are selfish, and they only reproduce to the benefit of the gene.

Group selection does not occur.

An example is evolutionary stable strategies, where cheaters persist in the population, even though the pool would be better off if all individuals in a pool were selfishly altruistic towards pool members.
To be fair, that described Google Glass as well and look where that product went.
More information on the assessment a couple clicks away[0]:

> ICILS 2018 assesses two dimensions of an individual's skills with information communications technologies. The first dimension, computer and information literacy, focuses on understanding computer use, gathering information, producing information, and communicating digitally. The second dimension, computational thinking, focuses on conceptualizing problems and operationalizing solutions.

> Computational thinking is the style of thinking used when programming a computer or developing an application for another type of digital device. However, its usefulness extends beyond this. The reasoning strategies that underlie computational thinking can help make sense of complex ideas and solve problems.

Seems that the first dimension constitutes the ubiquitous use of computers in school for research, word processing, etc. The second dimension is what we would expect kids to learn in an introductory computer science class.

I'm not surprised that the latter skill is lacking but that only 19% of students were able to use computers for information gathering and management is rather shocking.

I currently think that the best option for a personal website / blog is a statically generated site. It’s just the most robust way to build things for the long haul. Minimal maintenance, and easy to move all your files to a new hosting provider. Having static html files is very robust.

I think for business websites it starts to make sense to use something like Wordpress. The fact that it’s open source is amazing, so you can always self host. But it’s more effort. But you get lots of neat plugins and templates. But it’s more complicated.

Both are great solutions, but my current thinking is ssg for personal, for business maybe Wordpress.

> about Actix framework being mostly unsafe

Yep, that's what I meant. To me, until Rust unsafe implementations hit 1.0 as web frameworks, not just Tokio, I can't consider them as stable or bug-free as more mature web servers. It's arbitrary, yes, but it's also an important distinction. 1.0 generally means "you can rely on this to not change, and to have a useful set of functionality" and bug fixes equivalent to an LTS release. This is especially true if functionality is common enough that it makes its way into a standard library or conventional best practices. Generally, it has to hit "1.0" before it does so, though, in any stable manner...
I mean mirror image twins. Approximately 25% of all identical twins are mirror image twins. Or mirror twins, or opposite twins. There are a few different terms for the same phenomenon.

Okay.

People are doing worse than in the past. They have less secure jobs, less wealth, less opportunity, more debt, and worse health than they used to have. They are less upwardly mobile, their incomes increase less, and their incomes are lower than they used to be. More people are imprisoned, houseless, etc. than they used to be. People are dying more often of preventable causes and they are overdosing and killing themselves more often. You can look up the statistics and charts on each of these claims; aside from minor quibbling and in some sub-sets (computer programmers being an example of such!) these things are true across the board.

These are things with political solutions that are entirely ignored. As opposed to "womxn are disrespected" type things that are discussed in their place. I wanted to emphasize "material" so that I could emphasize that these things are not culture things.
