Not sure I understand. Are you implying I should target roles like project manager, business analyst, etc.? If so, not really interested in anything that doesn't involve active coding quite just yet.

I did see a post somewhere about someone's recent experience getting jobs at tech companies with minimal to no leetcoding. However he states that the only way it was possible was because he already had FAANGs on his resume and some of these companies were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt due to this.

You can just plant trees to capture carbon. But of course, the ~400ppm carbon in the atmosphere is still far below natural levels that have occurred in history (as high as 7000 ppm). I'm not even convinced that removing carbon using heavy machinery is a good idea, as it would presumably reverse the fertilization effect of CO2: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2016/carbon-dioxide-fer...

Nuclear is promising for other reasons, namely that it's a virtually infinite source of energy with no downsides if we can master a technique for producing it without meltdown risk.

People are not getting killed by the heat, but by the radiation needed to do that. My math on radiation is a bit shaky, but to heat water by 20 degrees, it needs to absorb 80000 Grey, isn't it. Now we can also assume that most radiation was not confined to the water. The dose to get a person sick is 2 Grey and 10 Grey (full body) is almost always fatal. Making a few leaps in logic here and it depends on how much water was heated, assuming it was in the litre range, then beeing close to such a device seems likely to be unhealthy.

That throws an exception though, while this code is trying to return 0. The java "fix" would be to add a charAtOrDefault(), but that doesn't seem to exist.

The source of charAt is also interesting because it manually bounds checks while the array access into the underlying char[] has its own bounds check. I'm not sure why having the separate exception is better than letting the array access throw directly?

I expect this repo to be a really good place to write readmes, articles in the wiki, put the transcripts, if at some point I get enough money to pay github for LFS ... maybe I even upload the raw content?

There have been examples of bats excrement contaminating fruits on fields as a transmission chain. Accounting for these, often undiscovered, interactions is extremely difficult in terms of probability.

> we already know for certain the labs were transporting the bat viruses directly

In research from 5+ years ago, research which warned exactly about the fact how the virus already had overcome critical barriers to infect human cells [0]. A very plausible interpretation here can also be that said research was a warning about things to come, and is now mistaken as the original cause for it.

Interesting question. This is not legal advice so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I think there is an argument to be made from both sides. On one hand, they are providing public URLs and they are the ones who should implement security mechanisms in order to avoid what you are doing with their content. There is also precedent regarding web scraping (which is not exactly what you are doing, but some arguments still apply). [1]

On the other hand, just because you attribute ownership to them in regards to their content, it does not mean you are not infringing copyright.

Here are some considerations:

- Modern homes tend to have large kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms, and open common areas. People may prefer this over the misc-rooms approach that's more common in older places.

- Old homes in the US may not have 3-pronged outlets

- Old homes may have faucets that don't stick out far enough to get your hands under. Ones in the UK may have separate faucets for hot and cold. (Is the intent to fill the basin? Rapidly move your hands between the two?) You're more likely to have touchy shower temp controls

Or may be the next world war will be won by a country that doesn't fight it.

China is building international super highways for trade, continent wide trade belts and inter-continent markets.

I don't think the US is lucky enough to get a war now. Countries will just maintain some minimum deterrence in the form of missile forces. So that they don't get out right invaded or sanctioned. Beyond that it will just be trade war and which country has citizens lined up to work 20 hour shifts. What makes all this so easily possible is we are not making new leap frog success in science(physics) anymore. Eventually engineering everywhere will catch up with science. In short every one can and will have weapons to deter invasions and sanctions.

The problem for west is not that a war will happen, but that it won't.

Every once in a while the world arrives at a paradigm change where everything changes. And no matter how good you are at the old game, it doesn't matter because the game has changed. We are likely at that place now.
Aren't all connectors unreliable compared to solid core wire? I mean one has moving parts and the other does not.
I'm not an advocate for work from home. The thing about covid is that it forced employers and employees to discover what was practical for work-from-home. And you may well find for some employers, work-from-home being practical is enough. Work-from-home doesn't have to be great or even good. Offices are incredibly expensive. Between not paying for office space and being able to hire anyone from around the world, the virtual organization gives the employer a lot of pluses that they can use to offset the negatives. And if in a given circumstances, this only works for some people. Well, they can hire replacements for the people it doesn't work for.

It seems like this will happen unless something stops it.
The spec is underspecified for basic edge cases, like any spec, and it's very hard to have implementation consensus.

This stuff is supposed to improve the UX. Yet the reality is that even when building basic forms, every website has to test and solve the sort of problems shown in TFA.

How much of the spec does every web developer in the world have to read to know that password managers should or shouldn't try to fill in credit card expiry/cvv in a hidden input? Does the spec even say anything about that? 1Password will ignore a `display: none`, by the way. Can this be quick-fixed by ensuring hidden inputs also have `display: none`? That's something every website trying to consider good autofill UX gets to figure out themselves if they even care.

Unfortunately "just follow the spec" does very little to block off the rabbit holes you'll find if you try to perfect UX on even basic forms, else I might agree with you.
You and some of your peers may not be that way, but a sizable population of office workers probably don't like the idea of neutering their careers just so that they could be more productive (which that employer gets an outsized amount of value from).

The other thing that sucks about Azure AD and Teams is that if you invite someone from outside your tenant into a meeting and their IT admin has disabled guest login into other tenants (not uncommon in places like banks where they don’t want people leaving credentials everywhere, even if heavily scoped), they will get a cryptic error message and you will never know that they got an error unless they call you out of band and tell you, and by that point you’re probably 15 minutes into the meeting.

This was the reason the last place I worked switched to Zoom, since if you invited someone outside the org it just popped up a box asking them for a name.
I know nothing about PowerPC, and I base that solely on the information on how the MMU works in this blog post, but is just taking the first set of pages found really the correct fix? Shouldn’t it instead look up the VSID from the segment register for the lowest address, and use the PTEG matching that?

Again, I never looked at how Power works in that regard, so I might have entirely misunderstood.

But a great and fun read nonetheless! (I believe this is evidenced by me thinking about it in such detail :) )
> The specific bats that host the ancestor of COVID-19 are quite a bit far away from those labs.

This is wildly misstating the science. That bat virus is a relative, not an "ancestor". And it's not known to be limited to those "specific, far away" bats, that's merely where it was documented. Believe it or not we don't routinely test every animal species for an exhaustive catalogue of virus variants. It's just shotgun science.

And as it happens there was a close relative to covid found on the same continent in a species group that exists in a broad continuum basically everywhere. A bat-to-bat transmission to Wuhan is a bleedingly obvious hypothesis.

And yet we have to talk about all this Andromeda Strain nonsense anyway, based largely on jingoist US politics.
Microsoft acquiring those companies doesn't really hurt competition.

Tech M&A (and particularly the list of examples you pick) is often driven by the desire to acquire talent, technology or capabilities that you don't already have, expanding the scope of the company. If you can integrate the acquired asset with your existing offerings, the theory goes, you will be able to create something greater than the sum of the parts.

The other day I was looking at this – http://www.datalex.org/ [0] – presented with a situation, it asks you questions about it, and then generates a legal opinion on your situation. It shows all its reasoning (in natural language) to arrive at that legal opinion. That's the same basic thing a human advisor does – if you get a formal legal opinion from a lawyer, it doesn't just give you the conclusion, it also explains the arguments and reasoning and considerations it used to arrive at that conclusion.

So I don't see why a strategic military advice platform couldn't do the same basic thing.

Wealth and investments are not ends themselves. Having enough money won't guarantee a meaningful life. This is a mistake many working people, not just the FIRE community makes.

I found the concept of "funded contentment" by Brian Portnoy[1] useful:

> ... wealth and investing are about funding contentment and underwriting a meaningful life, as defined by you. Not about getting rich, having "more," and losing yourself on the hedonic treadmill.

So without having defined "contentment" first, you'll be unhappy either way, retired or working. Contentment itself seems to come from a combination of three things. The weights tend to be different for each person: autonomy, mastery, and purpose.[2]

I found this a very useful framework for myself and I don't see early retirement as a goal any more. Instead, I focus on the things that make me content, which is mainly mastery and autonomy for me.
