I'm still trying to differentiate the difference between Western and American culture. As a general rule, the content that floats here about the rest of the world is either extremely stereotyped or with a severe agenda attached.

To the end of that, I believe almost everything in your last paragraph, with some clarifications as an American:

- Americans are highly ethnocentric relative to the rest of the world. It's because this country is the size of Europe, and its relative newness has made very little variance between, say, Kansas and Wyoming as opposed to, say, France and Germany. Thousands of years of horse-drawn travel have crafted your country's culture, while most of this country has had steam power, especially when you head westward.
- The actual meaning of "Western Society", at least as I defaulted to using it, is to draw a political dichotomy to "Other Societies". Frankly, I think elements of all cultures are useful, but this two-party system over here removes any sense of subtlety to the dialogue.
- I believe that protecting innocence is a losing bet, so I personally give my kids all the information as much as possible. To most Americans, that's offensive because they believe I'm somehow scarring them.

The Nixie Tube Story: The Neon Display Tech That Engineers Can’t Quit (2018)
This is missing the actual story. If the team is high-trust, how high is the friction in creating the PR and hitting merge? Or is it a case where the team(s) is(are) high-trust but the CTO or CEO doesn’t share that trust and has imposed process? Or a new team member doesn’t share the pre-existing trust (lowering the trust from “high”)?

Pairing, early review, IntelliJ CodeWithMe, ... there are other collaboration/review techniques available, and the author sounds like she’s aware of them, so it sounds like a specific GH-based process has been imposed. Tooling for teams to do any other collaboration besides code review is lacking from my experience to be sure (please share your favorites!). Are the other options denied?

What exactly is the heavy process here? Color please.

AWS is dirt cheap and many small and mid-range companies use their platform. If you architect things properly, you can get away with pennies on the dollar.

Not every platform needs EC2 instances. Most can build on Lambdas, API Gateway, and S3.

Not sure what evidence supports this notion of billions and privilege. If anything, AWS has democratized entrepreneurial endeavors.
This whole argument makes no sense. No one says you can only review branches when they're "done", many open source projects use RFCs, then WIP branches etc, no problem. The whole issue seems self-inflicted and the problem goes away when you remove the initial wrong assumptions.
In some cases it has to do with the operating system cooperating or not. Modern operating systems don't allow certain things to work due to restrictions in what apps are capable of. Consider a Smalltalk OS, where you can dynamically link objects across "apps" in interesting ways (see Alan Kay's "Tribute to Ted Nelson" where he shows a demo of this). You simply cannot do such a thing with mac/windows/linux.

In the case of Hypercard, I cannot say whether or not this is the case. It could be that Hypercard is absolutely possible today. But I wouldn't doubt it if it was somewhat unusable on modern systems due to this "cooperation" issue I mentioned. It may need buy-in from other apps and/or the host OS for it to work fully as intended.

For another example, consider emacs. Emacs effectively gives you the lisp-machine experience, but the problem is it isn't integrated with the rest of the system. You sort of have to live in an emacs bubble. With hypercard, you could surely get it running, but would you be in a bubble? Ideally you could use hypercard to script the rest of your system as well.

What we should want is something like a "card" that could "link" to a specific cell in a spreadsheet, as an example. Or a card that could open a PDF to a specific page. The more the rest of the system "plays along", the more powerful something like hypercard could be.
> However, a number of chemicals identified were relatively unknown, with no information as to what they are used for or how they could have contaminated a human body.

>One chemical detected, for example, is known as LL-D-253alpha. The researchers say very little is known about this compound and there currently seems to be no known commercial uses for it.

It seems likely that these 'relatively unknown chemicals' are metabolites (not necessarily of human metabolism) or otherwise byproducts of breakdown or combination of known chemicals.

Something as simple as an outdoor painted surface that gets exposed to car fumes and soot, ultraviolet light, pesticides, herbicides and any number of other contaminates, along with random biological agents such as molds, mildews and so on, is bound to produce some pretty exotic compounds over time in at least trace amounts, traces that will be concentrated at the top of the food chain (which is us). And then our own microbiome gets to work on that stew as well. As far as I know, no one is actively looking for whatever random unfamiliar chemicals may be spontaneously produced in these ways. I would guess that no one is even actively looking for traces of random unfamiliar chemicals that may be produced when you microwave spaghetti sauce in a plastic container.
No. I disagree, and I’m a Physics SB and PhD (lasers). EE is a discipline unto itself. A stack of physicstextbooks and coursework is useless when you need to build a circuit that does what you need. Indeed, even writing down the desired circuit specs in a reasonably professional manner has zero overlap with physics.

I don't think this is true especially considering the US banned Modi from entering the US under Bush.

While there were moves aligning the countries beforehand, the fact that Trump and Modi are both right-wing populists (in a world where that kind of ruler is still pretty newly ascendant) has a very good amount to do with current ties.
Wait, what? They want Intel to spin off its fabs to guarantee the success of US based chip manufacturing, citing AMD as a success story. Then they cite data showing that AMD’s old fab business (GlobalFoundaries) is a distant #3. A quick internet search shows their market share is steadily dropping.

(Intel should probably open its foundaries up, but going the IP-only route, like AMD, means they won’t plow profits back into the fab business, just as AMD isn’t using their recent success to invest in next-gen fabs.)
Dude my house is less than 2,000 square feet. I think you're making a lot of assumptions.
It would help if the author gave some more concrete explanation because otherwise this seems like really bad advice.

Things are really just not that simple. You can't for example look at someone and say "Wow, they're really compassionate" and decide that you're going to be compassionate too, if you aren't already. It took a series of experiences, not to mention some mix of biological predisposition, to instill that trait.

Attempting this strategy will just result in a series of shallow parroted behaviors that could actually risk alienating people who end up seeing you as insincere and lacking substance or "courage of your convictions". Traits aren't simply chosen, they are arrived at as the on-going result of an endless process.

When does that come up?
I took up EE professionaly at around age 38. I learned really quickly, and am currently quite productive. But there is a catch. I learned the basics when I was a kid, and got into ham radio. A basic knowledge and 'feeling' for what's going on in the electromagnetic space meant 25 years later I could learn at a rapid pace.

So of course you can't go back in time and replicate that, but you can do this... Get SPICE, or better a real lab, and start messing around with the absolute basics until you can dream it like when you finally do when learning a second language.

Without that primal understanding all the advanced stuff will just be rote memory learning.

It will feel slow and you sound like someone who wants to move fast. But getting a feel for voltage and current and their basic interaction in a hands on way will set you up to absorb the more advanced stuff like a sponge.

Just because you 'know' ohms law etc doesn't mean you can 'think' in ohms law like you do when you speak your first language.

So go deep on the basics. Give it lots of boring hours. Then start getting into the more esoteric stuff.

Enjoy the trip. Its been a wonderful one for me and I hope you get the same joy

I used to build BMI systems in graduate school, from the lowest level (mixed-signal analog design for 70 uV extracelleular signals) to DSP (128 DSPs doing real time analysis) to the network (built my own ethernet MAC, foolishly!) to all the vis and RT-linux-based analysis. I left the area and switched into ML in grad school, but if I had to do it all over again there's one thing I think is missing:

Optics. Optics optics optics.

A tremendous amount of neural interfacing, especially in non-human primates and other organisms, is done via optics. ~All the advances in neural data acquisition over the past decade have been optical. Microscopy is the future for a tremendous amount of neuroscience and more and more people are considering it seriously for human-scale BMI.

I know optics isn't always thought of in an EE context, but it should be! Many people doing amazing computational imaging and optics work are in EE departments. Computational imaging is the new hotness and can let you combine your existing CS skills with signal processing and optics to do things like build a lensless camera! https://waller-lab.github.io/DiffuserCam/

If I were you I would ditch the RF part of your plan and study optics. Yeah, it's all EM, but the order-of-magnitude differences in the frequencies involved makes the underlying engineering quite different.

Nothing but as a manager I wouldn’t want to deal with clearly HR related issues alone.

Form a managers perspective I see HR essentially as your legal counsel, if the company wants to delegate that to the legal department sure but they’ll be likely overpaying those who’ll be tasked with dealing with HR issues all day long.

It's hard to find good people in this world. The economics make it harder for more good people to be finding themselves.

Just doing it anyways & bearing your lack of fulfilment has a certain dignity, but I think the overall push & desire to manifest oneself & know oneself before springing forth a next generation is a great & wise push, is a powerful form of earnesty.

I'm having a hard time finding a potential mate myself. There's lots of wonderful, smart, nice people. But I have a hard time imagining long term compatibility, don't see the kind of excited engaged open mix of disposition & opportunity that I feel so lucky to be getting to live. The wavelenghts to share & witness each other are narrow. I don't know a source or what not, but the "you're not competing with other people to date me, you're competing with my alone time" idea rings strong, I think, for many. I love humanity & other people a lot, but the social disconnect between people is real, and I'm glad to see people working much much harder being much more picky about finding each other, seeking connections. Even though it has problems. Even though, ultimately, much of the purpose is kids, kids we're raising, who we'll near certainly end up fairly disconnected from us, living their own lives, in many ways.

We also have a much more world-conscious outlook today. What we can imagine ourselves as being, becoming, takes place on a much bigger stage than it used to for most. This is, for sure, coupled closely to the journey of finding ourselves & recognizing each other that I talk about above.
It's not the same situation and I think it's hard to believe it will ever be - it only on the surface seems to be similar because it involves two countries of different systems that are bonded by same culture, history and language up until the split. The details matter; the German unification was a result, as you may remember, of the Autumn of Nations revolution that lead to fall of the Eastern Bloc and Soviet Union; the situation was building up for over 10 years if not more - some consider the Chernobyl disaster as being the first domino piece that fell down, some the strikes and emergence of 'Solidarność' movement in Poland or even 1968' Prague Spring.

North Korea is alone on the playground and at best is being supported by People's Republic of China, economically and politically (to some degree); it holds power in a good grip, the propaganda machine and control of citizens life works there very well - at least from what we know. There's simply no possibility for opposition movements to exist and even be strong enough to question the Kims power and images as leaders. I'd rather expect that China would eventually incorporate North as another province rather than South deciding for the unification which certainly would have some harsh social and economical outcome. The differences between these countries seems to be too big to just dismantle DMZ and become one happy Korea with population of ~76mln.

Still, it's a wild guess and anything might happen.
That looks like a ton of fun! What is the battery life like -- and do you know if there'll be a (thinner) successor with e.g. the rpi4 compute module?
The author didn't mention the reason the query is slow.

I dare to challenge that the non-optimal query is something that a person with advanced SQL skills would do. A seasoned engineer knows that by joining two tables, you are looking at, worst case, NxM comparisons.

The problem is that you are joining the customers table with THREE other tables - the merged result of stores, employees and markouts. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape the fact that you are joining way more rows than just stores and customers.

I would call it a layman issue SQL beginners learn the hard way. Advanced SQL users know the very basics of the db they are working with.

These are interesting anecdotes and it is curious to see that your response was to learn that backups were important. Seems like your ability to learn there was superior to mine.

For my part, I, too, grew up with unreliable hardware¹ and each escape actually enhanced deviance. Every time I got away with not losing data because I found it somewhere else or found it unnecessary made me act closer to the wire. I'd risk more each time.

One time I even saw a friend lose his sister's paper (causing her to have to rewrite a significant amount) and it did nothing. I even lost data due to power loss on XFS². Did nothing.

Then one day I just started getting nervous about data loss and it's hard for me to determine what it was. Now everything is backed up, but I wish I knew what it was.

It's the fact that I had this strange reaction to encountering data loss that makes me hesitant to recommend the strategy I espoused in GP.

> I can always chose not to install an app.

Sure, but I can also choose not to use a website or service. If a set of features is only available in a specific medium (whether that's a website or an app) your choice is the same -- you either use it in that medium or you don't.

> the browser should be a sandbox.

This is an interesting point, because I do get where you're coming from, but I almost draw the opposite conclusion from the same data. The browser is a sandbox, so I want to put things in it. I refuse to install a native app to check my bank balance or post on social media, I don't trust those companies with that level of access to my phone.

The browser is a better sandbox than my native device, and notifications don't really break the browser sandbox in any significant way. So if (as heavyset_go suggests) notifications are the difference between having an app built in the sandbox or out of it, then I want notifications, because I want the app to be built in the sandbox.

If having notifications could make it feasible to use Twitter without installing an app, then great, we should do that. Or if notifications are enough that I don't need to have an email app or Matrix client installed... it's a pretty substantial win for security if I can get rid of those apps on my phone and use them as mobile progressive websites instead. Having email notifications on my phone is mandatory for me, I can't drop that feature. But is that alone a good reason to install a completely separate application that's requesting filesystem access or contact access?
The most interesting EE class I took was on MEMS, NOEMS, and MOEMS, i highly recommend you learn how that stuff works esp if you're going to work on human/brain interfaces. Then there's also biomedical engineering stuff, i.e. learning about strength of materials, micro fluidics, etc
Nice! Seems more "raw context" than most of the simple state management libraries I've seen so far!

I also created a library for state management including Context, the main goal as well was not to rerender everything when a fragment of a Context changes (which is IMHO the main limitation of using Context):

https://statux.dev/

const Counter = () => {
const [counter, setCounter] = useStore('counter');
const onClick = () => setCounter(counter + 1);
return <button onClick={onClick}>{counter}</button>;
}

// ...

const App = () => (
<Store counter={0}>
// ... App
</Store>
);

There's probably dozens like ours! It's fun, simplifies and improves development and it's not so heavy-handed as Redux (+ all the concepts behind).

>What's the need?

low-travel key switches used to be popular on CNC machines to reduce chances of machining-chips/debris getting into the keyboard. The key caps also used extended skirts to bring the cap as close to the PCB as possible. (example : http://www.calmotion.com/images/keyboard-1784-P_0h93fj2n.jpg )

Membrane keyboards and touch-screens have basically replaced any real switch in machining environments, but maybe a DIYer somewhere would find some use in those kind of environments.
Yes, it's great if you setup the data structures properly, we pay a few bucks a month to run a lot of infra on it to query telemetry data over a few hours to a few days at a time. I think an equivalent cost in just a database server instance to run the same load would be at least 25 to 50 a month. You're not really locked into athena, either, it just takes standard sql, so you could easily transition to a dedicated box later.
it does work though, because the sandwhichers will just take the delta between the accepted amount out, and the actual expected amount out, front run that, then back run the bulk of the trade with selling that delta on top of the bulk of the trade and benefiting from the price impact that the sandwhiched trade created
They're not exempt from cancel culture. A few years ago, a festival in Europe was removed because it made fun of Jews. There isn't a lot of albino baby eating or sacrificing of slave girls either. It's kind of stupid as a long term preservation because everything is filtered through what's compatible with contemporary western culture.

People have had the same canceling ideas before but with their own cultural filters. Iconoclasts destroyed ancient artwork, and Chinese communists destroyed ancient things in the cultural revolution.

Imagine if all historical records of ancient Greece or Rome had been expunged of objectionable content as decided by every dominant culture that existed between then and now. We would have almost nothing left.
