Not doubting anyone's personal experience, but to add another anecdotal data point:

Kids weren't as disruptive to sleep as I expected after reading horror stories online. The way the internet talks about child raising sometimes makes it feel like martyrdom, but the internet tends to focus on worst-case stories and people venting about uniquely bad situations. It's almost taboo to share positive stories when other parents are sharing their struggles, so most conversations veer toward discussions from parents who are struggling the most while other parents keep quiet. I've found it helpful to identify parents who are doing well and specifically ask them what they're doing, because most parents are too polite to tell others how to raise their kids.

There are always edge cases and every child is different, so of course we should all be considerate of other parents and cut them slack and/or provide assistance when they are struggling.

However, I and most of my friends have had good results with combinations of sleep training and adjusting our own sleep schedules for additional buffer. The key for me was to go to bed an hour earlier than normal. If I get interrupted in the middle of the night, I use that extra hour to sleep in. If I don't get interrupted (most common case) I simply wake up an hour earlier than normal. It doesn't cover every night and every situation, but it fits most nights.

I felt really stupid when I wrote this yesterday, which you would NEVER do in C++:

Promise.allSettled(promises, (results) => {
for(i in results) {
if(results[i].status === "fulfilled") {
....
}
}
}

Like really? We want the processor to test for equality 9 times for "f", "u", "l", "f", "i", "l", "l", "e", "d"? Or is there some built-in optimization for this?

Or should I do this, which feels hacky, but reduces it to 1 equality test?

const FULFILLED === "f";

Promise.allSettled(promises, (results) => {
for(i in results) {
if(results[i].status[0] === FULFILLED) {
....
}
}
}
AI was first proposed many decades ago, but it's still an experimental technology, because its applications in business are still being developed. I would consider a technology no longer experimental when no startup has raised funds based on an innovation in that area of technology for years. For example, elevator technology is no longer experimental.
Yeah, I naturally sleep around 7 hours. If I get < 6 I really notice it the next day. 6+ is a normal day. But it is weird just how much I notice going less than 6 though.

Another thing that my wife hates (ie, is jealous of), is my head hits the pillow and I'm out. Also, during that 6 hour sweet spot, I can sleep through almost anything.

Reminded me of story more than a decade ago about an academic who conducted a series of "breaching experiments" in City of Heroes/City of Villains to study group behavior, basically breaking the social rules (but not the game rules) without other participants' or the game studio's knowledge. It was discussed on HN in 2009 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=690551)

Here's how the professor (a sociologist) described his methodology:

These three sets of behaviors – rigidly competitive pvp tactics (e. g., droning), steadfastly uncooperative social play outside the game context (e. g., refusing to cooperate with zone farmers), and steadfastly uncooperative social play within the game context (e. g., playing solo and refusing team invitations) – marked Twixt’s play from the play of all others within RV.

Translation: He killed other players in situations that were allowed by the game's creators but frowned upon by the majority of real-life participants. For instance, "villains" and "heroes" aren't supposed to fraternize, but they do anyway. When "Twixt" happened upon these and other situations -- such as players building points by taking on easy missions against computer-generated enemies -- he would ruin them, often by "teleporting" players into unwinnable killzones. The other players would either die or have their social relations disrupted. Further, "Twixt" would rub it in by posting messages like:

Yay, heroes. Go good team. Vills lose again.

The reaction to the experiment and to the paper was what you would expect. The author later said it wasn't an experiment in the academic sense, claiming:

... this study is not really an experiment. I label it as a “breaching experiment” in reference to analogous methods of Garfinkel, but, in fact, neither his nor my methods are experimental in any truly scientific sense. This should be obvious in that experimental methods require some sort of control group and there was none in this case. Likewise, experimental methods are characterized by the manipulation of a treatment variable and, likewise, there was none in this case.

They have a good command of language in general, and especially when it comes to expression. In Slavic languages, there are often a lot of words that have the exact same meaning (compared to English or romance languages), but you have to learn individually how to use the right one to capture the moment best for your situation. Also, at least for the Slavic language that I speak (not a native speaker), it is clean, direct, and concise with respect to communication and expression, in comparison to English. The language I speak is much more complicated than English, grammatically. It has 7 grammatical cases (all words), 7 tenses (all verbs), and 3 genders (all nouns and adjectives), which change the conjugations of each of the words, whether they be a verb, noun, or adjective. English has 3 grammatical cases, 12 tenses, and 1 gender (natural gender).
"IIRC, all vaccines were 100% effective against "hospitalizations" and "death" (severe)."

Very close to 100%, but not quite. In US state of Ohio, 2.8 million vaccinated, 14 hospitalizations from breakthrough cases, all folks with multiple co-morbidities that would have killed them. So, 14/2.8 million = about 99.9995 % over about two months.

Understand the intent behind the bill. Wouldn't the bill be closer to effectiveness if it banned corporations from selling to any government and not only the US government? By only banning the "US government" in the "purchase" of the data, it doesn't prevent acquiring the same data from another governmental body (Canada buys the data and shares with US Intelligence community, suddenly & mysteriously trade relations with Canada improve).

So many loopholes, the bill becomes 'feel good' legislation instead of effective legislation.

"Bitcoin miners as a flexible load"

I'm just going to guess that miners will not take seriously the idea of "you just have to mine only during the day"

The return of mining is much higher than the cost of coal, so this theory can only happen when throughout the whole world the average pool return is between the cost of coal energy and the cost of solar energy

At that point, nobody will be mining anymore probably
Exactly - the kernel maintainers already "prejudge" submissions and part of that judgement is evaluating the "story" behind why a submission is forthcoming. A submission from Linus, ok, he's employed to work on the kernel, but even that would be suspect if it's an area he never touches or appears to be going around the established maintainer.

And one of the most reasonable "stories" behind a patch is "I'm working at a university and found a bug", probably right behind "I'm working at a company and we found a bug".

Banning U of M won't solve everything, but it is dropping a source of known bad patches.

If you take doubling to mean "doubled FFE" score, this only occurs when you wear a procedure mask under a cloth mask (this combination is in general the most effective as described in the paper).

If you take doubling to mean reduce (1-FFE)(since it is a percentage) by 50%, this only happens when doubling up on one brand of procedure mask, or when wearing a procedure mask under a cloth mask.

Procedure mask over a cloth mask is pretty much only as effective as procedure mask alone, and doubling of cloth masks did not double FFE by any measure.

This headline is the not the best summary of the paper, its abstract, or its title.

Apple didn't actually invent the modern laptop; that's just Apple PR. The Xerox NoteTaker, Osbourne 1, Dulmont Magnum, Toshiba T1100 and Compaq SLT all get credit for the “first” in different ways – and all in the 80s, before Apple produced a single computer that could be called a “modern laptop”. (Except the NoteTaker, which was 70s.) I vote the Toshiba T1100 as the first modern laptop, btw.

Apple was the first to put a trackball in a laptop (though that laptop was, in the rest of its design, at least five years out of date – hardly modern), invented the laptop palm rest, and – much later – was the first to put an Ethernet port in.

Based on the corpus of data accumulated from our double-blind, placebo-controlled study of marginalized populations, we can extrapolate that the COVID-19 particle-filtering behavior of face masks has an ex vivo efficacy that can be modeled by the general equation:

f_n = (n) x (f_b), where n is the number of face masks, f_b is the baseline percentage of particles filtered, and f_n is the new percentage of particles filtered.

Then I would very carefully reconsider the wording of your article. This article would discourage most recruiters and hiring managers I know.

"You will give me interesting or meaningful work"

To be direct: this sounds entitled. Lots of growing companies don't have the resources to babysit and hand feed work to engineers. They need driven, self motivated engineers who can identify problems and help identify solutions, create and drive projects in ambiguous circumstances, that serve the businesss. It sounds like you're disconnecting from the requirements of a business to succeed in a market. I've worked on teams who got the "only give me the interesting programming tasks" engineer and they are a rot to the company. Whether or not you mean it to, that's how this pattern matches for me. Lots of work isn't interesting and is hard to rate the "meaning" of, and successful teams and companies need this work to be done by the whole engineering team.

"I like Python. I don’t like PHP and Java."

I would omit this entirely, as the language isn't related to how meaningful the work is and contradicts your previous paragraph.

"No technical interviews or coding challenges"

Again I think this shows immaturity and not understanding the needs of a business and hiring. Technical interviews do indeed have all sorts of problems, and they're generally the lesser of the evils of technical interview styles. Not every company has the luxury of "let's hire this person to figure out if we like them" and not every engineer has the luxury of "I'll do an unpaid take home that takes up my time instead." Onboarding takes time for lots of teams in a business, and getting up to speed on the domain of the business is an investment for everyone. Who you hire is one of the most important decisions a business has to make. Having a technical interview process of some kind is important, even if it has challenges to be objective with.

"I will prefer payments in cryptocurrency"

Just my personal taste, this one is an irk to me. It's a sort of removed-from-reality "I don't care about your real world taxing and accounting needs, I like crypto." Most companies flat out won't / can't do this, so it's a weird request unless you're specifically looking at a crypto company.

The great irony of this post is it's all just things you want, and not really anything about you or your skillset. The things a hiring manager or recruiter would actually look for are completely absent from this post. There's a hint with contradictions that you're looking for a mission driven company, beyond that I don't understand the point of this article. It smells of "companies, come to me, I'm special" while immediately setting limitations like "I don't like PHP." The hiring managers I know would say "this person doesn't sound like they know what they're looking for in a company, why would I consider them?" It sounds like you've already checked out from your own responsibility of understanding a company and why you might like them.
> That there's an ethical way of testing processes which includes asking for permission and using proven tested methods like sending a certain amount of items N where X are compromised and Y are not compromised and seeing the ratio of K where K are rejected items and the ratio of rejected items which are compromised K/X versus non-compromised items K/Y.

Again, that's not the same test. You are introducing bias. You are not observing the same thing. Maybe you think that observation is of equal value, but I don't.

> By breaking the ethical component, the entire scientific method of this paper is broken...

Not at all. The scientific method is amoral. The absolute highest quality of data could only be obtained by performing experiments that would make Joseph Mengele faint.

There's always an ethical balance to be struck. For example, it's not ethical to perform experiments on rats to develop insights that are of no benefit to these rats, nor the broader rat population. If we applied our human ethical standards to animals, we could barely figure anything out. So what do we do? We accept the trade-off. Ethical concerns are not the be-all-end-all.

In this case, I'm more than happy to have the kernel developers be the labrats. I think the tradeoff is worth it. Feel free to disagree, but I consider the ethical argument to be nothing but hot air.

All investment is gambling. Investments have different risk profiles, sure. But unless you can perfectly predict the future then the uncertainty is non-zero and it is a gamble.

But when investing how much an investment makes absolutely isn't very interesting. All that matters is opportunity cost, or how one investment compares to all of the others. You want to make the best investment for the right amount of risk - and this is going to always be a gamble because it is highly uncertain.

The signage is a disaster on these roads. Lane closures are a very unobtrusive red X and not posted frequently enough. Text is too short and doesn't indicate how far ahead any hazard might be. Some signs are in a different style (small board overhead rather than a gantry across all lanes) which can easily be mistaken for an advisory notice not a command/prohibition.

Worst of all, the signs are almost always massively out of date and present a false alarm. You'll see a lane closure and very short text "obstruction in road" sign but then nothing actually there. I don't do huge mileage on these roads and I've probably come across this false alarm scenario 40 or 50 times, and never seen an actual hazard which was signed.

It's not at all surprising they get ignored by a significant minority of drivers.
Traveled a lot. I still have notes from Jan/2020 listing all long weekends and options. We had two months between jobs which we sat at home. Four cancelled conferences. Well, the first wasn't cancelled but later found out several people had to go into quarantine so it was good I didn't go.
As a parent I need both my own down time and time alone with my spouse to feel mentally healthy too, and that is usually after they are in bed and asleep. Maybe more than 6 hours is easy, but it's usually less than 8 if I manage to do all my normal expected activities. Often I do sleep instead now though as I quickly realized my temperament is only agreeable with enough of it as I age, and the other things I need to do suffer. Others may not make the same choice, and it's not a wrong to prioritize other important aspects of mental and physical well being.
I find it interesting that with the state of rust SIMD many implementations just opted for reimplementing the code multiple times for each intrinsic (SSE, Neon, AVX, etc). One would think that one of the generic libraries (faster, simdeez, packed_simd) would start to see widespread use, but they all seem to have issues that have prevented adoption.
