My experience was pretty much exactly as bad as you are saying, Constant bullying, people would be in tears every few days, several court cases and even had one of the editors take a swing at me because he thought I told the MD that he didn't clean up his desk (I didn't) and was fearing retribution from him.

At the same time, unless you're literally competing (ie tournaments) https://danluu.com/p95-skill gets into how getting to a high percentile often comes down to getting fundamentals right

Of course a lot of people don't have so much disposable time to achieve excellence. High school was an opportune time for me to spend years getting good at programming. But if you can manage to get into the 90th percentile of a skill it should be enough to get an entry position. It's easier to find time to hone one's craft when you're being paid to do it
Could it be kept fairly close to $50 if it was simply a "box" with a few relatively high speed USB ports and an HDMI connector?

I know this wouldn't be a "laptop", but with a cheap-ish monitor, keyboard and mouse... it's a small PC. Perhaps with a slightly older CPU which doesn't need super fast RAM, there could be... 2Gb of RAM or more?

Of course the newer RaspberryPi boards are pretty close (and in terms of RAM, even better) to this....

> yeah, but the programmer will believe the chart.

I'm a programmer and I do understand that these maps are "as much as we currently know" and the "we currently know" is expanding rapidly. I like to see biology as reverse engineering alien technology made by a much more advanced civilization. Of course that's not true — it all evolved over billions of years — but the resemblance is totally there.

The one thing that really strikes me about biology is how young of a science it actually is and how much progress we've made in so little time. It was only 1953 when the structure and function of DNA was discovered. In terms of history, it's not even yesterday. Yet now, 68 years later, we're literally injecting people with correctly encoded instructions to make a harmless part of a deadly virus to save their lives. This kinda blows my mind.

Yes that's true, but again it's a case where (a) both parties agreed to (b) a recognized form of resolution, in this case mediation - you can do this with a secular mediator also. In general they don't "coexist" so much as they are subsumed within, as allowable forms of resolution, within prescribed bounds.

Important to note that the courts already recognize and/or have precedence for this, and also there are limits to what you can shift here. Finally if the resolution process is not acceptable to one party there are ways to bump it back to the courts.

None of this applies to "smart contracts", which aren't contracts in the legals sense anyway. There is no (yet?) agreement by the courts that this is a valid resolution method, and any issues of contractual law brought before a civil court will be resolved by legal principles, not source code. I suspect that the best you could hope for in the current setting is that the source code + associated communications speaks to intent.

There's no reason to believe that it is impossible that US courts and/or legislation would at some point give some legal status to a smart contract beyond above, but that's not the case today as far I know.

I don't know all the details, but I do know it's only been a legal requirement for businesses in California and only since 2008. There are probably criteria that include/exclude buildings, but that is just a guess. There are no legal requirements to do this for homes. Also just a guess, but if there are no legal requirements to do it, roofers will use what is easiest to get, most abundant and most commonly used to remain competitive. Armstrong sells a white insulated foam roof for homes but it costs more. My neighbor said it pays for itself so I think they agree with you.

Fair warning.

There is a large pool of people who think that they are programmers, but are not. This is exactly what the infamous fizzbuzz test was intended to weed out. I personally know a top notch recruiter who credits her success due to learning early in her career how to filter most of the junk out. For example a "Perl programmer" who listed Microsoft Word as a skill was probably not worth looking at. (Note, this is an example from 20 years ago. But the principle remains.)

If you create an engineer focused site and DON'T find a way to segment engineers by ability, you'll find that your negotiating power is based on the average of your candidate pool. Which means that you'll discover why traditional recruiters kowtow to companies and not the other way around.

I've worked in this field awhile.

99% of people want this: np.dot and others use all the cores on your system by default. This accelerates the common use case, which is individual user on a multicore machine who wants single result ASAP. Then, there's an env var that lets you configure the underlying matrix library to use only a single (or maybe another number) of cores, and you work with the multithreaded/multiprocess libraries to run many independent calculations (possibly on shared read-only source data); then that scheduler has a tunable set to saturate the cores or IO on the system.

This is what most BLASses use and it's how data analysts and supercomputer folks can get along.

> Listening to some modern pop with lots of synths and layers upon layers of backing vocals, the experience is much better.

I've listened to quite a few pop songs I know, and without fail they sound much muddier in Atmos. Vocals are recessed, the bass loses definition. The improvement in sound stage feels better when you switch back and forth, but paradoxically the sound quality is worse.
That's a great list, but it's not just about annotated metabolic pathways; there also needs to be information about the gene(s) that have been characterized as being involved in those pathways, along with information about the source organisms and potential target organisms for production. Same with respect to substrates needed for intermediary pathways.
It's pretty common, in the US context, to call Social Security a "Ponzi scheme".

The label is also controversial, but it should be an undisputed fact that people call it that, and it's obviously not particularly similar to Madoff's scheme.

>Work is inherently demotivating.

some parts of our work are demotivating. From my experience building houses, software, mechanical tools are intrinsically very motivating. Dealing with slow JIRA is demotivating, and many other stuff coming from, and especially through, managers is demotivating.

sure. The starting point though is all the stuff which converts work into labor.

The versioning file system is awesome. It made rolling backups for you, and you could configure the number of them per directory. So a listing of text.txt would be something like (going from memory)

test.txt;2 date/time file size
test.txt;3 date/time file size
test.txt;4 date/time file size
test.bak date/time file size

This offered an intuitive way to undo mistakes. You could always include the version number as part of the file name

Oh HELL no.

Collective bargaining is inherently about eliminating competition between workers. That is, it creates a labour monopoly to balance out a labour monopsony. That might (might!) be a good thing for autoworkers. It would be an unmitigated disaster for software engineers, and the tech sector in general.

People who write code are unbelievably productive compared to just about any other job function, and software engineers (who we'll define as people who write code for tech companies) are even more so. Part of eliminating competition between workers is making sure that nobody works harder than anyone else. That would be devastating to the productivity of software engineers, which would make them less valuable to tech companies. That would lead to a decline in salaries, and general stagnation of tech.

Another aspect of preventing competition is seniority. One of the archetypes of the tech world is the wunderkind—the brilliant kid fresh out of school that rockets to the top. A union would tell that kid, "sorry, you'll have to pay your dues as a junior engineer for 5 more years, then you'll be eligible for promotion. In the meantime, we'll give that job to cwp, he's got the required seniority."

Just think how this would affect tech companies. Sorry, you can't pay more to attract the best. If you're really careful about interviewing, you might be able to find some people with both skill and seniority, but it'll be tough because smart, ambitious people have all gone to Wall St or whatever industry has the best opportunities.

But did he speak with Matthias directly first?

There is an adult way to escalate problems which is to first speak privately with the person in question to address the problem or correct the misunderstanding. If that fails, you could speak with people in the relevant social circle shared with Matthias. Dragging your problem into the public square is only something you do if those fail AND there are sufficiently good reasons to make it public.

Just to be clear: I am not defending or criticizing Matthias one way or another. I am speaking purely about process. This is a process that should be observed equally by those in positions of leadership toward those whom they serve in that role as well as the later toward the former. That is, both Matthias and Matthew.
If that's your definition, fine, but lots of people use it in a looser sense and have forever.

Another person feels that they have not found ways to adapt to their ADHD-like tendencies and their life could be better if they found ways to adapt.

In this case, the actual magnitude is less important than how individuals adapt.

What you call victim blaming here, I call expecting a certain amount of accountability for oneself. And yes, I do expect everyone to have, or to cultivate, the ability to handle themselves in social situations. I believe this expectation to be infinitely more helpful for society at large than the sympathy on tap commonly seen instead.

HBO Max Uses Production Data for Integration Testing
I've found that HN's way of prioritizing news has the same affect on the brain as a slot machine. For a news junkie that's always looking for the next news article it incentivizes you to comeback over and over again. And since the order is always different then you spend the time scanning the titles looking for the next one to read. It's a very simple yet powerful way to keep you on the site.

Whether it was designed or accidental the affect is the same you get stuck coming back for more. It's addictive.

There's really no way to slow down since there will always be something new to read or at the very least you'll want to check for more. If it's a problem then the best way to deal with it is to delete the url and stay away. There are other news sites that are less addictive and you should start using those.

My other suggestion is to change you host file to point to a different url when you type the HN's url. Point it to something boring. On windows it's at "c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts" but linux and OSX both have their own version.
