My general take is that it's not worth it. Professional traders will beat you to it, and you're looking at maybe a 1% drop.

* If it goes up, you lose money.

* If it goes down, and you have $100k invested, you make $1k.

$1k is 3 hours consulting time for a SWE. It seems easier to find consulting gigs and consult for 3 hours than to play the market.

What metric shows strict lockdowns are effective?

As I've shown outcomes on covid cases are equivalent in populous strict lockdown states (NY, CA) and open states (Florida, Texas). Death rate to confirmed covid cases is about 1.6% for all of these except NY that has 2.6%, controlling somewhat for differences in testing.
Very interesting! I intentionally did not mention the topic as I was already accused of taking sides in the matter due to poor wording.

In fact that accusation is what made notice this disappearance, but now thinking about it it must come from the community as you say and not from mods.

I'm not sure about most systems, but whatever Subaru puts in their cars works pretty well in my experience. It has a little trouble on windy mountain roads when the shoulder isn't well marked (it doesn't drive off a cliff or anything, but the autosteer disengages), but on the freeway I can usually go 10+ minutes without any manual interaction.
I disagree. Code should optimize for the things you want to look for being relatively the most prominent. This is why I think go is harder to review: the bits you actually care about are overwhelmed.
I haven't seen the new one yet as I don't use nightly, but this is one of the criticisms I have of Firefox since the last redesign. For example, moving the bookmarks menu and history under "Library". Meaning one extra click to access both.

Of course you can put all this stuff back in the toolbar but I have many systems and this is annoying. In the super-short clips I didn't see any change to this. They still make everything pretty click-intensive.
>But as a concrete example, to understand the Fourier transform it probably took me a couple of weeks of reading different textbooks in my spare time to really grok how the math works here.. it took some effort and I'm not some autistic savant that sees things in equations - so it has nothing to do with learning styles.

So you're still claiming your experience covers all.

Book Review: The Accidental Superpower
I don’t think Rails is anywhere close to light enough for the memory overhead of threads to be the important limiting factor. For an async server or something like project loom to pay off you need the request processing to be light and the time to be dominated by IO which can either be explicitly converted to async IO and callbacks or implicitly turned into async IO by your language’s standard library (as we are doing with Java and Loom).

In my experience even with a JIT Rails is spending a lot of time in all the layers of request processing, so it has limited throughout even when the actual IO is trivial. No async framework can save you from processing overhead like that.

Note: I work on TruffleRuby and Project Loom.

The whole point about not kink -shaming is that it's OK to have kinks so long as it's between you and other consenting individuals.

Templates are useful. We have templates for our issues (features, bugs, and incidents).

This enables us to open an incident report when we notice something, and add to it as we troubleshoot.

One thing that is paramount is setting the example. The most senior people should set the tone and lay it all out when they've caused an outage or something.

There's a reason we reject job applicants during interviews whenever there's a hint of fuckery indicating they will try to avoid accountability or lying. We estimate that if they're doing this in a low stakes situation on questions we already have answers to, they won't hesitate to lie and hide traces during real incidents where things are blurry which will slow down fixing something, recovery, mitigation, and then prevention of future similar incidents.

Senior people should overshoot in honesty whenever they cause something to break, and establish that the important thing is to recover and find a way for this not to happen again. This will be replicated by others.

The issues and incidents reports help clustering issues and solve underlying problems. For example, when you do incident reports, patterns emerge and will lead the team to ask better questions to solve a more general problem.

Establish that the point of these reports is so we won't have to deal with this in the future. This is for our sanity.

I think we have established a good dynamic where there's no finger pointing, because very early on, team leads pointed the sharpest fingers against themselves and laid it all out there for everyone to see.

This does not prevent people from having feelings when they break something but they have eyes on the prize (mitigate, recover, identify the problem, fix, prevent by making it impossible to have that problem again or document it). We get there faster that way.
The same way that police ostensibly protect houses; by being there, patrolling randomly, keeping an eye out for things that don't look right.

I agree with both of you. You're absolutely right that effective salespeople are fantastic story tellers. They are also fantastic at reacting to the subtle and overt signals the buyer is giving off. I struggle to see an Enterprise sales person (or buyer honestly) going for something like this today. So much of sales is relationship building and non real time communication methods will never be that.

I'm not even sure you can ever replace salespeople flying out visit people, even with 50 years future VR tech, because part of the value of flying out is the sacrifice of time, money and focus that helps build that trust and relationship.

I really really like this product and I feel it could have a sweet spot in that upper SMB space where it's still fairly short sales cycles with fairly short close times. Those buyers are not getting any personal attention today and something like this would probably feel more akin to 'flying out' than they'll get otherwise.

I hope there's a bunch of analytics in there too because that would be another awesome part of this. Seeing engagement through a set of materials would be pretty interesting. Nice work!

One thing that PoW has for it is the idea brought up in the paper: where the coin is not just based on popularity of usage, fame or hype but its usage is actually measurable in a very real sense: through how much energy it consumes. The paper mentions how CPU power gives you (in a way) the ability to vote within the system.

With a famous PoS coin you can measure its popularity based on number of transactions and usage across the globe - but who can really tell that those transactions were just not very few users pretending to makeup a busy network?

With PoW on the other hand you have a very tangible way to measure interest in the network: they’re literally consuming energy and they’re literally many different entities since no single entity could ever consume that much energy.

That’s a quite important difference imho.

Siril: An open source astronomical image processing tool
While the "defund the police" movement certainly has a lot of different motives and goals, my personal take on it is that we should be defunding the police for things that they are a bad fit for: handling things like mental health issues and doing wellness checks. Funding should be kept at levels high enough to handle being first responders to actual crimes and such.

You’re not wrong about ‘full self driving’, but “Autopilot” - which is just lane steering and adaptive cruise - is standard on every car you can get from Tesla’s site (you might still be able to get a model 3 without it by calling sales, but I haven’t heard of that working as of recent).
Source repository (took me some clicks to find it): https://gitlab.com/free-astro/siril
Several pieces of the Autopilot software suite are included at no charge. The "FSD Capability" (pre-payment for a future delivery of full self-driving) is the $10K option you are thinking of.

Buyers of the FSD Capability package get some additional beta features such as "Navigate on Autopilot" which will do lane changes on freeways, but is otherwise significantly less than actual full self-driving as it would be understood by a layperson.

It will be interesting to see what the real-world experience is like, but I don't expect any good news. People towing tiny travel trailers behind Model X's get brutal reductions in range.

The problem is that an EV is so inherently efficient to begin with that towing a big hollow brick behind you makes a tremendous difference in how much fuel it takes to pull it. Contrast that with a pickup that is already getting mid-teens fuel economy, the change in efficiency is much less pronounced. And with the easy filling ability of the ICE pickup, it's going to be the go-to choice for a number of years until batteries get significantly more capacity, denser, and cheaper.

A very typical pickup/travel trailer combo will get 10mpg. Maybe a couple more for a diesel. You can find outliers, but I've been towing RVs for a while and the topic comes up for discussion periodically, 10mpg is by far the most common experience. Trying to cram enough capacity into a battery for this kind of terrible efficiency is going to be tough for a while.
Sounds like OmniCorp from Robocop. Private security firms in gated communications is well over 60 years old, but now augmented with new IT technologies and AI, this could be a problem, especially if legislation is passed to legitimize these outfits and give them special police powers, which many private security firms have now, including carrying firearms.
How to overcome inability to think quickly while working live with others?
A programmer colleague has extreme difficulties when working live with colleagues or customers.

Things that normally come easy to her seem impossible in a meeting.

Also, she says that being often the only woman in the group puts added pressure on her.

She's unwilling to do programming interviews, due to the same problem. And she's unwilling to take advice from male programmers (like me), because she says that we don't understand what she's experiencing. Which is probably true (although it doesn't mean we can't help).

She's been unwilling to try things like meditation, breath control etc.

How can she overcome this hurdle? Any advice from people who've experienced and overcome this sort of hurdle would be great. Thank you.

This is the rule that bothers me the most, so it’s the one big change I would be happy with.

This is also, AFAIK, the biggest thing that differentiates Apple’s platform from every other mobile and game console app store regarding fees and whatnot.

In general, my biggest problem with Apple is their heavy handed approach to content. Whether it’s policing political content in a one-sided manner, or telling companies like Amazon they aren’t allowed to inform customers of other means of purchasing content, these policies seem more abusive, anti-customer, and anti-choice than anything else.

(That said, as a user, I would also love easier app side loading support, I just don’t think I’d like the consequences of that coming from a court ruling).

> particular faith system

How do you define this? Any sort of values system? I'm just thinking to myself, but I feel like as long as you have some concept of society or community that tries to impose norm on behavior, there is potential for stigmatizing anything different. There is a herd mentality or instinct that makes many people naturally wary of something different. It takes people standing up and saying "hey, I like to do this, there is nothing wrong with it" is order for it to become part of what society considers acceptable.

> you are rich enough to afford something, but poor people are not, so buying something unaffordable to the poor is a bad thing to do.

For luxuries, I agree that would be a ridiculous point to make (a poor person can't afford a new BMW, but we as a society think that's ok). But stratification among basic services that everyone should have is the opposite of equitable. This is in part why American health care is so awful if you're poor, and it's not a situation we want to duplicate with policing.

> then maybe the local government could hire on-demand security forces for when their police capacity is low (and hold them accountable and to government standards)

Not exactly the same thing, but we've done that with military contractors, and that has not worked out particularly well for accountability.
