OP here, a recent one I was thinking of (I don't recall the exact search I used) "bicycle pedals threading" https://www.google.com/search?q=bicycle+pedals+threading

The top results (including youtubers) gave the right answer, but the wrong reasons. You have to get down to the 5th (Sheldon Brown's) for expertise (it's "precession"). Sheldon passed away a few years ago, and now his site has ads - a limitation of personal websites.

> a "correctly" crafted query (read: the querymy parents would ask, not the query I would ask)

Can you elaborate please; an example?

Maybe you mean a grammatically correct sentence, which good for finding answers on forums, but I'm more interested in an expert's whole site.

Note that correct terminology is half the battle for searching, perhaps much more!

While nothing to do with chess strategy, learning the game does provide lessons. Relying on yourself and your analysis. Playing the board and not the player. Playing the player when the board doesn't favor you. Playing solid principles that may not pay off now, but leave open the possibility later. Controlling your thoughts, ego and fear in tense situations.

There is no reason to optimize the language that programmers work in when such optimizations can better be done on the generated machine code.

I too have HTTPS-only set, it's interesting what isn't HTTPS in 2021.

http://www.open-std.org/ is the site that maintains lots of documents for the Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1.

Historically both ISO and the IEC worked on IT standards. But obviously it's no good if there's an ISO international standard for how to encode the letter 'A' as binary data and a separate IEC standard for how to do it. In the best case this is pointless duplication of effort (these are international standards groups, every country is ultimately involved) and in the worst case they diverge and there's actual conflict, defying the purpose of standardization. So, the Joint Technical Committee does work on this intersection on behalf of both IEC and ISO.

Now, the importance of these standards to everybody means it certainly can be argued that the site must remain forever accessible to those without HTTPS but it's hard to think of any reason to just not implement HTTPS at all...

Higher education is my main job - we're not seeing an influx like we expected of people returning to college, but we are seeing an increase in non-traditional (24y.o.+) students.

They are, to paint with a very broad brush, folks who all worked in food service, retail, or other front-line sales industries. The forced time off last year made them realize they were killing themselves for not very much money, and they're refusing to go back to those employers.

But it's the $300 in weekly payments that is stopping people from returning to work, if you ask business owners in the area.

There is currently a wild and IMMENSE disconnect from worker attitudes to beliefs about worker attitudes, and I don't know why.

I was only giving an argument against the "antiwork mentality". This doesn't mean that I want to preserve the status-quo or I that I think the existing system is perfect. I agree that there are many issues in our society and the existing system, but I don't think "antiwork" is really the right way to go about it.
Well, the efficiency warranty is usually at least 80% until 25 years, so 10 years seems a bit short.

If there are enough of them, recycling can be made efficient, and disposing of them would in any case be easier than for the spent yet radioactive materials. If we wanted to we could even enclose in glass container the nasty stuff, and it would not decay its container at nearly the same rate as the radioactive stuff.
There is another factor with enterprise software - people build workflows around it that are business critical (think checklists and HOW-TO guides), and taught to folks that just want to turn the crank and get things done, not mess around with the latest changes (in general).

UX changes (usually what people mean when they say ‘usability) are problematic because they often require disruptive changes, retraining people, and breaking someone’s business for awhile if they can’t know this is coming and stage it out properly. That is a good way to lose customers.

Performance improvements over unlocking some major business area with a feature are not as high priority - because an extra .5% in cost to an existing customer is usually not as important as unlocking another 10% of sales.

Over time it can of course kill the product if not addressed. It’s easy to see how the incentives lead people there though.

And for an enterprise, they already pay people to do things they aren’t excited to do every day - why should they care the software is motivating when people already clean toilets, deal with retail customers, and mop floors without any of those being exciting either? As long as it works, it works.
That's not true everywhere.

Peter Drucker, one of my favorite writers on management, said that one of the most important things you can learn about yourself is whether you're a reader or a listener. In other words, would you rather listen to someone talk about a topic of read about it? I'm definitely a reader. In the same way, I think there are writers and speakers. My wife is quick on her feet in conversation but would find it awful to have to write five pages on the topic she just breezed through in conversation. I'm the opposite. Now that we're in leadership positions in our respective fields, we've both customized our work environments as much as possible to emphasize our respective skills.
FWIW, I used to work as a technical writer. To treat this issue with
the seriousness it deserves, I suggest hiring a copy editor with a
technical background, either full time or on contract, with an initial
brief to standardize a house style on which everyone can agree. Older
people are a great source of potential hires because many of them went
to school when grammar used to be taught. As an aside, I think you're
doing the right thing by getting developers to document their own work
even if their documents need rewriting by someone else, because doing
so compels them to think clearly.

Would you say the source of your "quick depth" comes from experienced familiarity and being able to use multiple mental tools in serial and parallel to coax an answer? Or would you say it's closer to an intuitive, almost pre-cognitive/clairvoyant muscle memory (sort of like an instance of "clear" deja vu but without the usual suspicion that comes after of wondering where you've seen this before)?
I did. I took almost a year off. It cost me about $35k in 2005 USD.

I was really burnt out. But I'm not sure that taking the time did anything for me. I was a little stressed about the "unknown" the whole time and I mostly wish I had left that money in my savings.

Your mileage may vary.

Unless we know that the worst cops are leaving because they feel unwelcome, as opposed to the best ones leaving because they can no longer be part of the system, it's hard to tell what the impact will be.
It's because American cities invariably have section 8 housing and other such blight (I say blight because of crime rates and property disrepair that come along with these subsidized housing). What's the point of waling places if I might get mugged? A city that was as exclusive as the suburbs? People would lap that up, but usually the exclusive city areas are at a price level that dwarfs suburban costs. Cities can't or won't provide safe walkable neighborhoods, so people vote with their feet and go elsewhere.

> "Nuclear is vastly more efficient than wind and solar"

With current technology, nuclear is significantly less efficient than solar and wind in one very important metric: cost. Or to put it another way, a dollar invested in solar or wind will produce more energy and offset more carbon emissions more quickly than if that dollar was invested in nuclear.

This may change when we're chasing after the last 10-20% of grid emissions, but for now there's still a lot of low-hanging fruit.
I have massive respect for Google's work in this area as well. They released awesome laptops with open firmware and Linux support. I wish they could use their power to improve the mobile Linux drivers situation. Just straight up require that hardware companies upstream their drivers to the Linux kernel.

Yep absolutely. Another way to think about it is that using the web doesn't mean we delete all our local native apps. As users we don't gather into camps who only use one type of software or another. Modern computing environments are mixed spaces full of all sorts of different kinds of software. It very rarely makes sense to be exclusionary or exclusive about any particular type.

Gemini is no different. There's overlap with the web's use cases, but its its own thing. As a user, why not both?
Google and the other cloud companies' strategy is mostly all the same: they want to charge rent on every computer application possible. What has started to change in popular perception is the image of the cloud providers having all of your data. Why should they have all of my data? A reasonable reaction to the status quo of cloud applications.

This is just as nefarious as a traditional SAAS application, if not more so. Google is setting up a system whereby you can have the data on your own machine, but the actual logic of how to interpret the data is still loaded off of a server on-demand, with the end goal being that they can charge you rent to access files on your own device. Pretty cool for them, but seems like a raw deal for the end-user.
But the article is about how they're affected by climate change. Removing that part from the title completely changes the meaning of the article.

Exactly. Everyone having their own Office Space moments right now.
Yes and no. Depends on your seniority and where you live to some degree. I was pretty burnt out at 28 after a year that included things like a 110 hour work week. At the time I couldn't afford 6 months or a year off.

I did take a year off 2 years later.
I appreciate the alternative perspective and productive-pessimism, but anecdotally in my immediate social circle of engineers, 5 have changed jobs - all for substantial upgrades, and not 1 of them was for a job that required office presence or downgrade in quality of environment.

The last year has been so strong for online tech that there is a heavy vacuum effect on the available talent. FAANG are struggling to fill demand in hiring and are offering increasingly high salaries. This cascades to other industries. Top engineering talent at logistics companies are leaving to go work for big tech, same with banks. Recruiters are charging 22-25% for placements, and having difficulties filling them.

Not just tech, other industries as well. There was this initial moment of employment "musical chairs" when the pandemic set in and everybody who had a job was clinging to it, but we're now in a solid counter-reaction where even traditional industries are having their workforce disrupted by new opportunities. We're not even seeing the full brunt of it, with many industries running at reduced capacity (travel, hospitality, entertainment).

Generally speaking, if people are leaving jobs for new ones (or none...) it's because they calculated that it was for the better, thus, I think people will generally be happier about their state of employment in 2022 as the article states. I'll add that many people working minimum wage jobs took this opportunity to become entrepreneurs which is a really healthy step up from that situation.
Why not both? I feel like at this point anyone who has done any research at all on climate change and its intersection with power generation fully acknowledges as accepted wisdom that nuclear is best for baseload and scaling and renewables are best for peak-load and have the lowest cost of production (ecologically and economically) at their highest output points.

What is unspoken in many discussions is how energy intensive a lot of technologies are that are going to be more necessary as global warming continues /and/ technologies which could help to counteract and perhaps reverse the damage we've already done (atmospheric carbon scrubbers). Having carbon neutral or carbon negative baseload generation in mass quantity is absolutely critical to any realistic plan to deal with climate change, which currently means nuclear as our only option. Given that nuclear (with the correct reactor designs) has better power generation density than competing technologies and superior scaling, if we had 1:1 replacement of existing fossil fuel power plants with nuclear in the US, for instance, we would have enough excess baseload generation to start running atmospheric carbon scrubbers full-time in major cities to counter-act pollution from ICE vehicles and excess energy for various other pollution mitigation strategies (such as water purification / ground pollution abatement).

It is important to know who says what. Does not mean it is intended as an attack. Vetting the source is an important part of doing research imo.
> back in the employment market...

Don’t look for a job, instead look for the person you can help.

There is a senior executive out there, a line manager who you can serve and solve problems for.

Get clarity around who this person could be. What kind of organization? Where do they sit? (LinkedIn is a great resource for this). * I’ve found smaller companies, less than 100 people easier to work with.

Now, reach out to them for a discovery conversation. See if your circles overlap.

Essentially, avoid the common trap of filling out job applications, hoping to pass the HR filter.
Nuclear waste isn't really waste. That's part of the reason why projects like Yucca Mountain haven't been completed.

Natural uranium is a mixture of U235 and U238, an LWR consumes U235 and a small amount of the U238. It gets maybe 2% of the energy out of the uranium and most of the long-lived radioactivity is Pu239 and related actinides that have value as fuel. (In a reprocessing cycle almost all of the waste decays in 500 years.)

Reprocessing nuclear fuel to produce uranium and plutonium powder is a straightforward technology.

What's not straightforward is fabricating fuel out of that powder. The most practical way to alloy oxides of U and Pu is to put them through a high-energy ball mill that fuses together nanoparticles of U and Pu.

The HEBM can make something like Silica into a deadly poison, so just think what it can do with Plutonium!

It seems impossible to run a Pu fuel fab that is a safe place to work without using a respirator full time. The French seem cool with it, but it violates the labor laws in every other country. To make it worse, fuel fabrication is a labor intensive process which involves somebody putting pellets into a fuel rod with gloved hands.

There are alternatives (co-precipitation, liquid fuel reactors, robotics) but they have to be developed to close the fuel cycle.

>What's important is that for any point in time all the energy sources added up are equal to the demand. [...] then (at least in the UK) it'll typically use gas generation to meet the shortfall

But does that work out to be better overall (ie. in terms of cost, or in terms of the environment) than having nuclear providing the baseload?
> you could be alarmed that you need a Doom-capable computer to run a modern light bulb.

An ESP8266 microcontroller can be bought in low quantity for less than a dollar. I means sure any cost reduction at scale is meaningful, but at that point I don't think the silicon is the expensive part at that point. It just doesn't make sense to give WIFI devices anything less than that performance, the gains in silicon space will be meaningless and you'll spend more managing that than anything.
I guess we should also be concerned with Tesla’s monopoly on supercharger networks. Just because there is no perfect substitution it does not mean there is no direct competition.

Actually, I misspoke slightly when I said it turns the GUI into a CLI. Rather, it turns the same underlying class into a GUI.

So we have one file which contains the class with all the functions we want to expose (in our case, the class is named JobManager). At the end, it goes

if __name__ == '__main__':
fire.Fire(JobManager)

which takes care of all the CLI access we could want.

Then we have a second file for the GUI, which has a main-function that does some argparse stuff. The GUI interface is simplified from the CLI interface, so it's not that much work to write the argparse code for that. Simplified, it looks a little like this :

@Gooey(default_size=(1000, 600))
def main():
parser = GooeyParser(description="jobGUI")
# argparser code
args = parser.parse_args()

JobManager(args.name, args.whatever)

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
