I don't see the TI-series graphing calculators as a general purpose computing device. If I need more horsepower than an old Z80 for some specific use case, TI actually has me covered, in the 68k-powered TI-89 and the ARM-powered TI nSpire.

What _is_ inexcusable to me is that the calculator still costs as much as it does. I'd bet the bill of materials for a TI-84 is cheaper than that of a Raspberry Pi at this point. A few years ago I had to take apart my -83 and discovered from references online that there were revisions A through at least K of the hardware, with many cost cutting measures made along the way. And while there's something to be said for the supply chain for a 20+ year old device probably having dried up several times over, none of those cost savings seem to have been passed onto the consumer.

True. But why has it become acceptable? We choose to use micro-publishing to brag. It's just as easy and accessible to publish your own bowel movements, but we haven't normalized that.

I wonder if there's a Paleo-proxy or some kind of natural record that could be used to trace the frequency and magnitude of these events throughout Earth's geological past and if anyone is looking into it? For example we can look at the ocean sediments (usually by measuring changes in isotopic ratio of different compounds) and infer a great deal on temperature, carbon cycling, polar reversal, ocean circulation, chemistry etc. going back millions of years. It would be really neat and helpful if we discovered a proxy that we could use to trace solar flares hitting earth.

> I've had exactly one person I coached ever have their offer pulled

I've never seen an offer pulled, but it's common for companies to move on to other candidates when someone wants to draw out the negotiation process too long.

This comes as a shock to some candidates who forget that companies can't wait around forever while they decide who to work for. The position must be filled someone quickly.
And if say that if you are in the position where you can run DW workloads on your prod database you probably don't need a data warehouse in the first place.

Data warehouse workloads tend to be very IO intensive and could be highly disruptive to a production db. ETL is hard but it's a price to pay to isolate these two very different workloads.
When agriculture was invented, it put a bunch of hunter gatherers out of business. They weren't happy about it, they liked being hunters and gatherers.

But that surplus workforce found jobs in other areas, creating whole industries where there had been nothing. Can't have Post-mates without workers and restaurants. Can't have restaurants without more workers and food distribution. Can't have food distribution without more workers and food processors... etc.

Ivy league english majors get jobs writing TV and movie scripts. Mass electronic distribution means that many many people get to watch the creative output of a small number of people. All the other people who used to write are available to fill new niches in the economy.

Yep, the transition is difficult, and they'll complain about it, but society as a whole benefits.
The demand for labor declined because we shipped it all overseas.

People say automation and that’s true, but automation doesn’t seem to be stopping China from lifting millions of people out of poverty and giving them jobs, so I’m not sure why the US can’t do it. If you have more automation that doesn't necessarily mean you have fewer jobs, it can also mean you make more things.
You are aws user for 3 years but don’t have aws rep?

In my case we’ve got a miner on our jenkin for a day.
I just call my aws sales rep and he get me a free lunch and a few credit to pay the business support for 1 month, then open the ticket through that business support. At the end of the week aws gave us extra credits around 10% of our yearly usage.

I don’t think they will waived all yours 26k. Thats your dev team fault and also your finance team or whoever that don’t watch the billing. But they can give you a lot of aws credit for many reason (promising startup, loyal customer, big company, etc)
I believe it's a deeper cultural trait that goes beyond the current left/right extreme divide. It also doesn't help that at its best, it brings notable achievement in many spheres, but it does not assign value to the general welfare of people.
Thanks. I renamed it to ISO in the documentation.
I’m not proud of it, just so happens that 20% of the employees on the team do most of the work and work more and the other 80% talk about how they have such a great life outside of work.
As an amateur, and speaking at the amateur level, I always find myself disagreeing that with that last statement whenever I see it.

I've used a bunch of cameras ranging from smartphones to high end point-and-shoots all the way up to full frame "prosumer" mirrorless. While I have no doubt someone whose work gets featured in say, NatGeo, can take an iPhone4 and make wonderful shots, I can't help but feel the rest of us Average Joes and Janes get a tremendous boost from having better gear.

And even that NatGeo featured pro would produce much better pictures with a FF DSLR than being limited to a iPhone 4, no?
> I'm sure there was no conscious and deliberate effort to psychologically manipulate the user

Totally. Social media corporations would never do that.
To add to the sibling comment, it is real. But it's more about the field of view of the lens and the depth of field. As pointed out the light doesn't know the area of the sensor. Depth of field is a matter of the distance from the camera to the subject, the aperture of the lens and the focal length of the lens. Larger formats allow you to stand closer to the subject while retaining a wider view than for a smaller format camera. Take the 80mm f2.8 lens on a Rolleiflex TLR. If you stand where you can frame a head and shoulders portrait, you're standing closer than you would for the same framing on a smaller format camera with an 80mm lens. You would have to stand back further, with the subject further away more is in focus. Have a look at the Brenizer effect for a digitally stitched equivalent of a larger sensor.
I suspected that would be the response. If you close down all the businesses that can't survive paying more for unskilled or semi-skilled labour, what do all the unskilled and semi-skilled people do? Where do they get the opportunity to upskill?

Ouch. I did get my vaccine a few weeks ago, so hopefully I'm not that sick. ;-P

My understanding was that they reset your password then hold your account for ransom or use it to break into your other services. (e.g banking, 401k, credit card, etc. Email access can get you pretty much anywhere.) I have no problem with seeing people who deceive and rob innocent people of their savings sent to jail. If what they're doing with my confirmation code truly is harmless, then yeah, of course I wouldn't want them sent to prison. But I thought this scam was more than that. Maybe you know more about this case than I do?

I don't have the resources to completely take down a scam ring; I figure I can help by trying and slow these people down now and again. Maybe the time I made him waste on me prevented him from getting to someone who would have fallen for the scam. Maybe not. In either case, the prank is pretty harmless.
Ah yes, the ol' "raising success by lowering expectations" trope. This is a great way for some politicians to get kudos for promoting "equity" while at the same time shooting our economy in the foot.

It's one thing to say we shouldn't be rushing kids through rote memorization in Algebra to get them to Calculus. That is true. But if that's the goal, the target should instead be to revamp the Algebra curriculum and throw in some basic set theory/CS. We desperately need young kids to be computer literate, and these subjects go naturally hand in hand.

From personal experience, I finished my B.A. in physics without ever having taken a single programming class. When i taught myself Java/Python online in subsequent years, I realized what a disservice it was not to require some of that along the way. Going back to really learn quantum recently showed me how much more facile i was with math concepts from learning about functions and objects in a programming language. They're just too similar to ignore.

Seriously, a common refrain you'd hear from students from India/Russia/China would be "Oh, you didnt learn Hamiltonians in high school?"
60 hour work weeks as the norm is still crazy to me, though I am in my mid thirties as well and might have been able to pull that off in my 20's as you said. Maybe that's why start-ups usually end up burning me out because I've never really cared that much about the product like I imagine game devs care about theirs, and 50-60+ hours a week is kind of normal for a small start up.
I'm pretty skeptical of this system, but if it has value it would be used only for boarding unarmed, or maybe lightly armed ships. Stuff like piracy, or rescue.

I don't think modern militaries are "playing dump" to the threat of modern missiles, a ton of work right now is being done of figuring out exactly what it takes to deliver a missile hit from beyond the horizon, and how to disrupt this so called, "kill chain".

To vastly oversimplify, opioid addiction and withdrawal symptoms are influenced strongly by dopamine receptor downregulation. I wonder if those who are resistant to it (not me!) is related to that. And then I wonder if those who are resistant to social media "addiction" are similar...

...but I'm resistant to social media addiction, and yet was a heroin addict for 6 years as a teen/young adult. So perhaps there's no correlation at all. I wonder if there are any academic papers exploring this?

To a conspiracy theorist weak debunking is fighting fire with gasoline. There is another layer to this about how conspiracy theories can be very useful. If you have a good enough theory to warrant a denial, you know it's important enough to command attention, which makes it a co-ordinate or waypoint to triangulate the truth.

Reporters and prosecutors traditionally do this by asking questions that make insane assertions so that they can get a denial co-ordinate, and use it as leverage to orient the narrative arc around the issue being denied. A conspiracy theory does something very similar. It's an accusation in the form of a question or unknown.

The theorists themselves index too heavily on whether or not the plot they imagine is true, I think because they have this imaginary conditional that if only this horrible thing were true, only then the discussion includes them, and they become stakeholders in the events. This is the error of conspiracy theorists: that their perspective and experience would suddenly matter more if they were proved right. It won't.

They don't have a plan for a world where the conspiracy theory is true, whereas I think the smart view is to look at conspiracy theories and consider how to survive and prevail in a world where not only are they true, but we can't imagine how deep they go. A big part of that is weighing the quality of denials they get. The efforts to debunk news are so partisan and crappy as to be evidence that the theories are "over the target" (in the lingo). Somewhere between the lie, the accusation, and the denial, the truth is located.
Not really. That's a story told to sell such programs.
You're buying an asset, this can always be sold to cover your initial investment. You're also gaining $20 cash that can be put into other investments, so they gains are compounding. Like every thing else in the stock market you're also hoping that the stock value and dividends increase over time. So in reality you get a return much earlier, but even after that you still own a cash generating asset in perpetuity.

If it was purely the cash flow you wanted you would buy a bond, but once the bond period is over that's it, you own nothing except the cash taken out. If you want to accumulate wealth but not necessarily cash flow high growth stocks are probably a better option.
I don't think people consider the entire site spam. It's user-created content after all. But if 99% on a site is spam and your articles are not, you may want to consider posting them somewhere else, ideally your own blog, to avoid suffering from the site's bad reputation.

The same goes for medium.com. There are good articles on Medium, but 95% of it is low-quality or spam, so I generally avoid these links or come in with the expectation that an article is likely spam.
Thank you for your question, I don't have experience with Docusaurus but I'll try to list a few ideas, let me know if it can help you.

If you only need raw package metatada (signatures, docs...) that Docusaurus will render somehow at build time you may use my extractor which outputs a plain Javascript object with the collected information (see https://github.com/jsdocs-io/extractor/blob/main/test/packag...).

If you need pre-rendered docs that Docusaurus will embed in a page you may implement something like a React component (see https://github.com/jsdocs-io/web/blob/main/src/components/pa...) and use the raw metadata as component props.

If you need a pre-rendered page that Docusaurus will collect, you may want to look into https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/api-extractor which can directly output Markdown files (as well as JSON files) but requires some initial setup to get working.
I think we have wildly different understanding; and mine is very much evolving - as I feel is everybody else's.

Masks right behind washing hands - honestly, until Covid, I clearly lived in ignorance and had NO idea that a) Surgical masks are tested and designed to protect others against exhale and b) N95 masks are tested and designed to protect occupant via inhale. Just that basic, yet absolutely crucial concept was unknown to me. I had very limited exposure to them across two continents and half a dozen countries, and it certainly wasn't part of my own education about most important hygienic achievement or practice across four different educational / political / health systems. That doesn't necessarily mean masks aren't crucial, but it perhaps doesn't make it obviously so either in context of daily public health.

And then we have the mucky complex detail of aerosol vs droplet vs surface, sizing and staying power, etc.

You are presenting / clearly strongly believe that (all?) masks are a binary, always-good, always-clearly-protective thing.

My understanding/interpretation is that it's more complex than that; I am OK with scientists, when faced with a net new illness, inherently evolving the opinion and recommendations. I guess this is where you see a "technocractic establishment lying and manipulating". I look at wildly different countries with wildly different values, framework, goals, assumptions, methods, and yes "political wiggle-waggling", and most of those culturally politically different scientists following broadly similar path of learning and understanding.

It is likely our frameworks and life paradigms are too different to come to an agreement - at some point we all, you and I included, fit inbound facts and perceptions into our root approach and beliefs.

I never implied that the loss of satellite = loss of power and water. I'm just saying that even a smaller solar flare (Compared to the Carrington event) cause large disturbances. Look at the 1989 that left Quebec and millions without power for 9 hours. Now imagine an entire country/continent losing power almost simultaneously.
The US largely doesn’t have the stomach for it because it would require labor protections and significant tariffs/trade restrictions on goods produced via dirt cheap labor overseas. As soon as anyone tries that, the country loses its mind about “trade wars”.
The jobs are bullshit. There’s no benefit to society if someone spends 40 hours doing telemarketing or filling out paperwork.

How to write a resume that converts
C R E D I T R E P A I R
My name is John and I was desperate to fix my credit reports. I worked in the past with Lexington law and MSI credit. They removed some items but I still had some derogatory and collection accounts. I was reading some reviews about CR repairs, creditrepairman@hackermail.com appeared in some of the reviews and I decided to email him. He responded and introduced himself as Jamie and instructed me to text him on his direct number and I did ASAP. We got talking and he explained his credit repair process in a pragmatic way and I was convinced to work with him. After some couple of days, he called me and asked me to go online and check my profile that the job was done and ready to use. When I checked, I noticed my score has gone up to 788 with all the derogatory and collection account deleted, wow! That was like a magic and the best thing that has probably happened to my life. With the joy on my face, I contracted him again to fix my wife’s credit profile and my Chex system and he pulled through again. I strongly recommend Jamie for any form of cyber jobs. He is so nice and good.

It’s going down if you count from 2000 but up if you count from 2015. I’m not sure whether it makes more sense to look at the trend over the last 5 or 20 years but I think you must make an argument that one should pick the span that supports your thesis, rather than the one that contradicts it.

> Money printed and given to poor people is immediately spent and trickles up to the ownership class.

For sure. It's first spent by poor people on things that poor people need (maybe several times over as it works its way through the economy and is meanwhile taxed), rather than being given directly to rich people.

That's a massive difference to inequality.
> Not that much as they all follow pep 484 + a few other peps. The number of type features unique to each one are generally bugs/recent peps they haven't implemented.

This is totally untrue? Pyre adds completely new notions like taint analysis, pytype adds a totally different inference system - the type systems are not compatible and it has nothing to do with implementation of PEPs.

The difference with C is that all of the other linters and analyzers are on top of the base type system, they don't replace it. In the case of Python the only standard part is where the annotations go and how they get resolved at runtime, it's otherwise completely up to the type system implementation to determine what's what, and all 3 of them do so in very different ways.

This is like if clang/gcc had totally different behaviors for `auto` in C++, but really it's not even comparable.
