Actually, it's probably much, much simpler than that.

There is a demand right now for companies and industries to be seen addressing problems of systemic racism. You can look deep into your internal processes, identify how unconscious and conscious biases are undermining the acquisition or advancement of underprivileged minorities, and modify them to create more equitable outcomes. Or you can tweak some jargon to be more linguistically inclusive, a problem that (as far as I'm aware) no one has actually complained about.

In other words, it's an attempt to be inclusive by claiming very loudly that you're inclusive while doing absolutely nothing to actually help change that.
This comment is spot on (I'm a former prion researcher).
They sell clothes made of wool and plastic mix. Nylon, elastane, polyester.
A) I understand many of those countries also have government-dispersed drugs, which dramatically changes the situation by making there be legal drug transactions legal too.

Unless someone is proposing government run sex work, it's not a fair comparison.

B) Drug dealing and sex work are also quite different in that the former in it's modern day incarnation can be highly anonymous with dead drops and whatnot, but that isn't possible for most sex work.

C) Finally, maybe the above does make drug dealing a nastier business, but few people are worried about the well being of drug dealers that aren't also for legalization.

a true believer I can tell. But you could easily say the same thing about a well architected typescript/react frontend app, its just that it has several orders of magnitude more experienced developers and billions in corporate sponsorship behind it. Which is significantly more important than any cool feature the hip esoteric language of the week may have.
I have often thought that a device purpose-built for music with one of these transflexive screens would be absolutely fantastic. Even the 10" screens are big enough; Two screens for a folio would make a fantastic device for any musician to travel with.

Now I sort of want to build one. Adafruit doesn't stock them anymore ( https://www.adafruit.com/product/1303 )

Anyone know where I could get two?
That is bad advice.

If in doubt, stay away.

SMPS topologies can use capacitors on high voltage side rather than on low voltage side (like old linear supplies did).

If you don't know what is the topology and how it failed you should not assume it is safe to put your greasy noob fingers in it.
People say that the lathe is unique in this way, but it's not really true. A mill can also do this. It's just that a lathe can do so more easily, since it tends to have a more powerful spindle, a thread-cutting attachment built in (change gears), and larger work area along the spindle axis. As long as a mill can do thread milling (many mills need an attachment for this, but it's hardly rare) it can produce its own components.

And both tend to need parts not produced by machine processes, eg cast and scraped ways. And modern machines use electric motors, etc.
I live in Japan and visiting Americans do this all the time. Many people just did a find-and-replace on their speech years ago and never consider what it actually means.

Are you arguing that Iran is more safe due to the fact they lock up less people?

You've provided a list of obviously more dangerous countries and then tried to use that as example of why incarceration, police, the system is corrupt in the US....

I'm confused. You think less police and less incarceration will suddenly make the US a less dangerous place?
Pretty amazing that https://reactflow.dev/examples/ works so well on phone.
My advice: pursue a PhD. If you can find the right advisor, then you will have almost complete creative freedom to pursue interesting projects while getting paid to do it.
Imagine adding to the list of risks for a new project the term "low talent pool" and "head engineer leaving".

Many languages haven't been popular long enough to have a nice pool of experienced engineers to pick from. Java has that advantage, which not many languages have.
Anything that makes investments into fossil fuels more expensive (i.e. higher interest rates), makes investment in carbon neutral technology more attractive.

Globalization is a fairly new thing (on the 3.5B year timescale at least), allowing for the spread of any disease quickly. Whereas isolation and evolution has saved us in the past, it might not have the necessary time in the future (imagine if Covid had been even more deadly, for example).

Things only get complicated when your architecture includes more expensive components with different pricing schemes that you probably want to share with others (e.g. relational databases, data streams).

But how often will that not be the case, realistically? By their nature, serverless functions have no persistent storage or other capabilities of their own. All they can do without communicating with other services is return some data to the caller.

So, if you really are writing a lambda to do some calculation on demand, that's OK. However, literally anything else is going to be integrated with other services in way or another. That will include some sort of database or other persistent storage if there is data to be retrieved or saved for future use. It might involve services that provide other effects, whether sending an email or collecting a payment or querying someone's geographical database API and sending a message to a user's phone giving them the nearest dining options.

It used to be a pain testing integrations with third party online APIs, because most of them don't provide support for spinning up a fresh simulated environment on demand to test against. (Did I mention that as an industry we seem to have regressed by decades in our standard practices?) But with some of these cloud services, we create the same problems even with our own systems, which seems like madness to me.
>The same logic applies to contract killing, doesn't it?

...which is why it's illegal, rather than relying on individuals doing the right thing.

>If banks decide to become moral investors and quit the game, the carbon fuel industry will be scrambling to replace about $1T/y in funding

This only works if enough banks participate. If banks control 50T of capital, and 90% of banks pull out, but fossil fuels only need 1T of funding, then the fossil fuel industry wouldn't be capital constrained. Given the total size of the global capital market ($118T), I find this hard to achieve.

Looking for alternative ways to find first 50 users
Hello everyone,

This is our first post on here and we were seeking advice on how to get users to use our application. We have tried paid ads across all platforms (FB, Google, Reddit Ads, Tiktok) and they seem to not be working to the intended extent.

We are a group therapy application and we're on the iOS App Store. It's called Moodshare and you can join live therapy groups led by licensed therapists on it. The main limitations that we have are:

Our application is only functional for users in the state of Georgia (state licensing laws prohibit therapists to provide mental healthcare outside state borders and all of our therapists are in GA) and

We don't really have much social proof on the app store with 7 ratings and 3 reviews so far. We are starting a blog to increase our SEO and we are building our Instagram page slowly but I feel like the problem is that people come to our app store page and they feel like nobody is actually using the app since most people are used to seeing 1K ratings on apps. How would we alleviate this problem I don't know.

We are looking for unique ways to address those problems so any help would be much appreciated by our fellow entrepreneurs!

Sincerely,
"I would do anything" moves quickly to the bottom of the stack. In there I see (maybe wrongly, but when hiring first impression matters) no motivation. I look for people passionate about the work, who have skills and interest on using those. But help desk or programming require very different skills and are quite broad.

Because no other timesharing OS was available in free beer source code for others to port it, it had nothing to do with C.
Pretty much the same, adapted to the specific purposes. For instance, Nashville charts also include some notations for the form of a song, such as Intro, Verse, Chorus, etc.

A reason for the usefulness was how recorded music was made. The recording musicians had to be able to choose a key that accommodated the singer's range, on the spot. So a transpose-able format was ideal.

I think the industry in New York had a different scheme, which was to write for a "standard" male tenor voice, and rely on the musicians to handle exceptions.
His requirement is basically volunteer style job? For example: run an app that track or take in abandon pets for an animal rescue/shelter.

1. interesting work, checked.
2. part time, remote and probably asynchronous, checked.

4. probably minimum wage, checked.
I have nice boring job. Few years ago I was upset with the boring part. But with kids and mortgage I don’t really care anymore. I am very happy to be paid more than a manager in a small company being only individual contributor in big Corp. I also have approval to sell my hardware from big Corp. So I can explore new things with commercial potential without a fear. Life is good.
Agree. It is impossible to create a replacement for worldwide community project like PostgreSQL.
It is the knowledge of humanity. Just like English literature or Any Branch of Science. We can add to it. But we cannot replace it completely.
If your solution for environmental issues is to make everything dramatically more expensive, they are no longer independent problems.

What would the solution here be? Raise prices on everything containing plastic, but then give the bottom x% of the population money to offset the increased cost? That is a net effect of zero, with lots of inefficiency in the middle.

Increasing prices only works as a way of changing behavior if people feel the effects of the increased prices. You cannot handwave away "poor people will get a separate solution" when your entire proposal is to make people lose money.
My lab actually did this for a bit. They hired a programmer who was retired but bored and just wanted to do something for far less than market rate. She was great and got a lot done but two problems:

1) It took my boss significant effort keeping her busy with things to do: explaining the problems we needed solved, etc. is non-trivial

2) Since she was working for so little, she could basically dictate what she was or wasn't doing. The very fact that she wasn't on a real salary meant it was actually harder to work with her in some sense.
What about your local classifieds, Craigslist or something like that?
Those number are there to inform the purchase of chip designers looking for a fab. If you are buying complete chips, you have much more relevant numbers to look at. At this abstraction level, feature size is at best irrelevant, and at worst, misleading.

The criticism is that feature size isn't useful for chip designers to choose a fab anymore, so they should be ignoring it too nowadays. (The meta criticism is that they already know it, no need to point it out.)

Partial Content
I found the comment funny. Since the purpose of a joke is to be funny this makes it high quality as far as I am concerned. If you didn't find it funny, I guess you would consider it low quality. The point is that judging comedy and jokes is so subjective and personal as to make any such rule regarding quality a joke itself. You can ban all jokes or mandate that jokes can't contain racist, sexist, ageist, or other such potentially offensive content but trying to filter jokes based upon quality is a bit ridiculous.
I use a Samsung galaxy watch, and have never had any issues with it. I record my workouts, but I'm not super into looking at graphs or anything. I'm assuming you looked at it, so what did you think was inadequate, out of curiousity?
Agreed. Prions almost strike me as an interesting boundary condition for stupid behavior. But if most of the world's meat supply becomes effected by prion caused diseases (think: Chronic Wasting Disease https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/index.html ) then I think we truly might be in a tight spot.
This is really funny.

I spent 20 years in the Marine Corps because they continued to challenge me and test my abilities. Some days the work wasn't interesting other days it was really interesting. But it was always challenging.

They always told me what I was going to get paid, but I think they owe a few hours for some overtime I did back in 2005.
We, in fact, have added more regulation in that area. Outlets installed below 5.5 feet are required by code to be tamper-resistant so that they aren't dangerous to children.

Fine, it's just a plain-old controversial topic, then. The same sociological pressures that can lead to preference falsification are in play as with any contentious issue.
If COVID19 had been significantly deadly, presumably it would have burned out at the pace of SARS1.

It seems to be close to the sweet spot in terms of being able to spread but still occasionally kill.
I understand degrees being a requirement for medicine or hard engineering, but for research and topics of the mind it's just an expensive, multi-year hazing ritual into academia.

Plenty of good people go straight into industry after getting their BCs. (or avoid degrees entirely) because of this.

I think that whois privacy is required by ICANN for .com or something like that. I mean that every or almost every registrar provides that. So if your only requirement is minimal downtime, I'd choose something like Cloudflare.
Prions are misfolded proteins. Because of mutations our proteins have tiny variations in them and it should not surprise me if some of them are more prone to misfolding than others. Currently it barely matters, but in a world rampant with prions, wouldn't we evolve more stable ones?
Prions don't really spread on their own though, yes they are extremely hardy and can survive in soils but that doesn't do anything, if it did and isolation was the only solution we'd have thousands of prion-infested red zones where humans couldn't set foot.

> imagine if Covid had been even more deadly, for example

It'd have been taken more seriously, and it would have had a higher chance of burning itself out. Covid's such a pain in the ass because it hits such a sweet spot, of spreading fast, being highly infectious, and being benign enough (with many of the infected spreading it asymptomatically). For the hell that it is, the one "saving grace" of Ebola is that it debilitates and kills fast enough it's very hard for it to spread, especially as it doesn't have great transmission vectors.
That’s only an issue if you define your career by a single programming language... I don’t.

Regarding bills, I made my biggest salary bump after I jumped to Elixir, but I appreciate the concern.
Having been consistently unemployed in the past, some experience and advice:

How people value you – and treat you – is directly reflected in how they pay you. Working free or cheap actually encourages employers to micromanage and committee review things because inexpensive things/people are seen as less reliable or professional.

If you want interesting work, my advice is to make it yourself. Find a problem you're passionate about and make something beautiful of it.

You'll improve your own skills, have more fun, and eventually employers will be coming to you.
I remember that in the 90s, when "mad cow disease" was dominating the headlines, it was predicted that there would be an exponential increase in cases, decades down the line. The same point about prions being virtually indestructible was being made, the same concerns about surgical equipment and blood donations were raised.

Suffice it to say, the prion disaster did not materialize, so I'm skeptical about the same story being repeated almost verbatim today. My guess is that prions aren't all that contagious after all, especially after basic food preparation measures.
> If you already have the 32-bits value, there is no point in parsing it, so there is no point in supporting it in the address text parser.

There is a point when the only interface to that program is via text. You still have to convert the 32-bit value to text, but there's a difference between that and converting it to IPv4's dot notation. The former is simpler.

> It's not worth saving typing 4-5 characters from times to times.

I don't think the main users of the feature are people manually typing those addresses.

> Before reading the article, I would have assumed for example that 127.1 would be 127.1.0.0, not 127.0.0.1.

But then it wouldn't be a valid IP.
Luckily humans can survive quite well without any meat at all.

And what evidence usually exists of a third person in a non-Tesla missing-driver crash?

Look, all I'm saying is that if this was literally any other car, we would all see this evidence and say "Yup, looks like a drunk driver fled the scene of an accident". It would be an obvious conclusion. We wouldn't be scratching our heads saying "Well, gee whiz, maybe there's some other explanation we haven't thought of".

This is not the first time police have found a crashed car with no driver. The only difference this time is that it's a Tesla.
If COVID were more deadly like Ebola it tends to not have long gestation periods where it can be spread without symptoms.
That's basically me and C++, and I suspect I am not alone
Tobacco companies and fossil fuel companies have no trouble finding investors, so it doesn't seem all that nonsensical that an ETF based on those industries would have no trouble getting investors.
Android developers wouldn't say phones run Vulkan just fine, unless when talking about Samsung and Google devices.

Hence why Google made it a compulsory API on Android 10, to try to tame OEMs in improving their Vulkan story, and yet it is a plain Vulkan 1.1.
Me?

It would be stupid to keep my wife and kids home during summer just because I need to work. So they sometimes travel without me.

I have actually been working remotely for many years. It is sometimes possible to move stuff around so that I have mostly reading for a week or two and then I could do it anywhere I want.

I have experimented with traveling while working remotely with some mixed results.
That's not unusual. What is unusual is that they're using their central market power to make things better, not worse, in terms of externalities.
You’re talking about M&A (market consolidation) and I am talking about the supply and value chain. Two completely different things.

The supply/value chain is broken up into little chunks with specialists focusing on a narrow activity eg chip design or fabrication or assembly or test etc. There are a few specialists like AD and TI that are still vertically integrated to some extent eg design and fabs, but that’s because they have specialty analog processes for things like opamps , references and so forth. However, a lot of their assembly and test is sub contracted out. For digital devices and companies like ARM, very few still run fabs (semiconductor speak for ‘fabrication plant’) - they leave that to giant fab only companies like TSMC, UMC et al. How this works is the fabs run standard processes and companies design products to be produced using those processes - so by standardising, costs are reduced. A fab process takes 2-3 yrs and a few hundred million $ to develop. Samsung and Intel still have fabs doing predominantly digital, but they have the scale and heft to afford the $1-2 billion every 7 yrs to invest in new plants. There are few others though ( mainly in memory).
Nice visually appealing CV. Is that using a public template as the base? I'm currently using the deedy XeLaTeX one as a base, but it doesn't seem to scale out to multiple pages well.

Best of luck with your goals by the way. Avoiding the full time grind in favor of lower time commitments with interesting projects is a great objective.
> Building market share by massive "deficit spending" is how many companies became huge in the past decades.

The author goes on to make exactly this point a handful of paragraphs later. The MoviePass bit is a fun story to suck you in, not the meat of the piece.
> QE doesn’t stimulate the economy because bonds and reserves are functionally identical as far as bank capital requirements are concerned and reducing interest rate payments is deflationary.

Actually reserves are slightly better!
Open Source volunteer contributions are like this taken to the extreme - where the two main motivations are interesting work, and making a change in something you (want to) use.

I'm curious if the lessons learned from OSS projects would apply to work output from this person.
