Speaking just for myself, usually side projects are too small to really be a showcase; expecting they have something nice might not apply to OP. Then again, I also didn't make it my day job to work on these things, but still OP could just have taken it easy. Doesn't mean they're out of touch or anything. They should just apply to a place they like, and if there is something to showcase that's indeed all the better.
> Bad thing is good because we've defined it to be good.

That literally defines popular morality. There is no other definition of good and bad besides cultural consensus.
Yes. I think not having a 'homeland' that pumps in money to spread the God's word like Joshua Project also helps a great deal. Many years ago I attended "Meeting of Elders" an amazing conference between Hindu monks and Native American Shamans. It was pretty cool to see who quickly they were comfortable with each other's traditions.
The filtering, testing requirements, and frankly unpleasantness involved in medicine (in the United States) not only drives the curve to the right, but also lops off a good portion of the left side of the curve of all of those who want to become physicians.
Man deserves true freedom. To self diagnose if one so desires, to kill oneself through incorrect prescriptions if one so desires.

The thing is, none of the rules you mention exist to stop patients from doing anything. Rather, they exist to protect desperate patients from con artists selling (sometimes literally) snake oil "cures".

I'm reminded of accredited investor rules -- which also chafe at times, but are equally essential for protecting people from scams.
It always takes that one incident to reprioritize reliability. Kudos to AWS for actually taking action to change the org to be more resilient though. Most organizations that have reliability issues will hire a QE expert or have some Quality initiatives that start hot but fizzle out as leadership loses interest until another disaster hits again.

> You don't have to guess on the definition by the way, as academic terms tend to be well explicated.

I disagree that the meaning of "toxic masculinity" is as clearly defined as you claim, or that it is even an academic term [1]:

> The term ‘toxic masculinity’ is not an academic term. It has little currency in academic scholarship on men and masculinities, although this may be changing. Common terms in scholarship for dominant forms of masculinity include ‘hegemonic masculinity’, pioneered by influential theorist Raewyn Connell, and simply ‘masculinity’. There is of course academic debate over how to understand these terms.

If you can cite a clear, concise, and universally accepted definition of toxic masculinity, though, I would be interested to read it.

PowerShell from Microsoft is looking too alien on Unix. Just looking at the syntax I already feel uncomfortable.

It's hard for me to criticize it because I haven't used it, but it looks like it was designed by a committee and overdesigned. I.e. it wasn't created from the need, like someone at Microsoft wanted to automate his work and created PS to solve his problem. It looks like some boss decided: "They have shells, so we should have it also. But we will make it much cooler. So, let's gather a committee of 500 of our best managers and let's decide what features it should have".

It looks artificial and inconvenient to me unlike Unix shells. Maybe I'm wrong. But I'm pretty sure that even syntax of PS makes it harder to type the commands. Unix commands are very short (many are 2-4 letters long), all lowercase and do not contain characters which are hard to type (e.g. `-`).

> Taking advice directly from the reporter is as ridiculous as taking advice from celebrities.

Agreed, though I don't see reporters offering health advice. They do what you say.

Though a health reporter probably knows far more than a random famous person, having spent a career learning about health care and days/weeks/months studying the specific issues at hand. Look at the amount of research involved in a serious news publication - often many experts interviewed, studies reviewed, and that's just what made it into print.
How do we know they didn't know they would find anything? There is lots of evidence that we have lost perspectives on how to analyse our environment as we have gained new ones through technology.

This is probably the best way back in. Employers are less fussy if it looks like you can solve their immediate problem and once you have proved your worth they will probably offer a full time job anyway.

You are documenting _what_. To document _why_, you must explain why somebody would want to change the "set point" and what is the effect, and not in terms that "setA sets a", but the semantics of it. What does setting point accomplish? What are the circumstances when you want to do it? _WHY_ would somebody want to call this method?

Who determined it was the right thing? The US has had declining gun homicides for 30+ years despite record breaking gun sales. It's hard to square that with the narrative.

Over the last 30 years, there has been a correlation between increasing gun sales and declining gun homicides in the US.

Additionally, not only are gun homicides down per capita over that time frame, they're down in real numbers.

You can ignore this, and claim it was the right thing anyway, but then it advertises to terrorists that violence is an acceptable way to reach your goals. The terrorist was validated and his agenda was hurriedly rolled out.

This article is literally about patients who followed a crazy idea and the doctors who dismissed them. The crazy people here were the doctors.

What the mother did here was more rational and logical then every doctor in the department of UCLA. Think on that, then think about the amount of money UCLA charges patients and whether or not this sort of incompetency justifies this high level of monetary compensation.

I would say all people are irrational and biased. The issue is Doctors in general think they're better than everyone. They dismiss the fact that the biases and crazy ideas that effect all of humanity could effect them as well.

"Security bugs" are after all just a specific class of bugs and are still a huge nuisance in non-critical applications as a crash one could leverage for circumventing some security boundaries means most often just a unexplained crash for the common user, which just wants to use a tool in good faith.

So, reducing security bugs means less crashes on weird input, less leaks (better resource usage), just a more stable tool as some classes of bugs (which may or may not be security relevant) are just eliminated completely - that's a big deal as with rust the (runtime-)cost other languages avoiding this is just not there (or much smaller).

Everything depends on your manager, and their manager, etc….

You can easily go from being the superstar player on your team to being in the worst doghouse possible, simply with a change in your manager.

Yes, I have been there and done that.

If the new manager tells you one thing in person and then a different thing gets recorded in your personnel file, that’s a really big sign that you need to pay careful attention to.

So, when it comes to things like this, you need to make sure that you are always working in the style your manager wants, and on the things they want, and not letting your attention get sidetracked on something else — even if that something else could help greatly improve your life at work.
And as I said is not really something outright comparable. Housing is more expensive, no universal healthcare, etc.
Depends what you mean by 'surveiling' really. People seem generally comfortable with the tradeoff of streetview cars taking pictures of their house (the tradeoff being that we then get streetview in g maps).

But there's a black-and-white difference between actually founding a company and operating in the role of a CEO and slapping a "CEO" label on "I messed around with code for a while".

One entails actually making a go at running a business, with all the activities that entails. The other is more of an individual contributor thing which can result in useful experience for that role, but is nothing like being a CEO. To mislabel the latter activity is just lying.
This comment actually makes a lot of sense.

Especially the part about makers spending all their time tweeting about the work, ironic come to think of it cause all they do is tweet. Either way, it's a vicious cycle once you're in it.

I've been trying to grow my startup on Twitter as well, seems like there are a lot of developers out there on Twitter so it could get traction. So far, it's been a few days but I've managed to contact few more developers that way.

I suppose I'll just keep building the product and balance the tweets without spending a lot of time on them by scheduling them or something similar.
I assume they mean Go-ish; i.e. tactics that that work in the game of Go.
They’ve found extremely low numbers of possible cases in your state. The numbers found are very close to the expected false positive rate.

Meanwhile there was also an unusually bad flu going around at the same time affecting a high single digit percentage of the population. So ok it’s not impossible you caught COVID. There is a small but real chance, but it’s probably tens or even hundreds of thousands to one against.

I responded to GP's comment about hiring. Ivy-like pedigree surely helps for any career path, but that's no different for SV or anywhere else.
I don't believe the customer service people knew what had happened. They were chatting about how there was a "service disruption" and that it was from "American Airline's system" not theirs so it was "out of their control". Maybe they were just trying to get the blame off of them, but they definitely weren't telling people flights were being cancelled. I really think they were in the dark and I speculate (tell me if I'm wrong) the default response is to admit no fault until someone higher up says to.

What I really don't like is that I didn't receive any notification about any of this. No email or text or phone call from Southwest or the travel agency. Had I checked HN I would have found out before returning the rental car.
facinating how much advice here only applies to FAANG jobs & startups in SV/NY.

there are plenty of well-paying software jobs that need neither leetcode nor a masters CS degree from MIT. telling someone that these are the current barrier to entry without any context is absurd.

my 65yo father went from being laid off a $100k php job due to covid to another $100k php job 6mo later. the first at a small mfg company with 3 devs; the other at 10 person front-office online retailer with 4 devs. he is not a 10x dev, still prefers jquery and no one he spoke with knew or cared about leetcode. he's probably never written a merge sort impl in his life, though i suspect he has sorted lists in production a time or two.
> They have shells, so we should have it also

The thought process was more like "You can either hire a dude to do it by mouse in MMC or you can get someone with a masters in CS to do it in DCOM. We need a middle ground."

Andreessen Horowitz created Future to bypass journalists, as I understand it, and have actively tried to discredit journalists who are critics. This essay is the first I've seen in Future, and it fits what one might expect:

It's highly critical of others, the authors portray themselves as heroes and avoid almost all criticism of themselves. There are almost no sources and it doesn't show or attempt to show other points of view, and makes no attempt to address bias and self-interest.

In a sense, it works perfectly. Let's be aware of what it is: self-promotion from people trying to avoid scrutiny.
Sort of looks like a modern take on VMS!
No, not really. This was my work computer and I was limited to using my available hardware (so either using one monitor with linux, continue the annoying sharade or switch my OS). And it worked with windows out of the box. (I still had to configure some things on windows, but less than I usually configure with linux. Just setting up powershell properly was a bit more work as I didn't have a dotfile readily available.)

> The short of it is: nothing is good or bad, but things can be too much or too little. Where the line is depends or circumstances and is different every time. And the correct answer is mostly only available in hindsight if it is at all.

That sounds like a very stoic point of view, reminds me of Marcus Aurelius's meditations. It's worth a read.
I mean, isn't that just status quo bias? You can come up with a story for how anything will result in negative consequences. If we didn't have medical gatekeeping you could just as easily come up with a story about how requiring people to get approval from a doctor to treat themselves could result in someone fainting at the wheel and killing a family of four, and it'd be just as meaningless as this.
Yes, but a challenge trial doesn't require institutional but in.
> no one person can alter the laws of physics, just as no one person can alter the laws of Bitcoin

This is one of the things that concerns me most about Bitcoin, or as the headline addresses: blockchain.

The fact that people misunderstand its technology.

Blockchain is inequivalent to physics. It is a mathematical model, and so, unlike physics, we understand its machinations precisely.

So precisely in fact, we wrote them!

And we wrote them utilising other mathematical models that are only effective in the goals of blockchains contingent on the fact that they are, similar to our current ability regarding physics, outside our ability to fabricate.

But where the fabrication of laws of physics would require the development of both the mathematics and devices which render the mathematics physically, the fabrication of blockchain would only require the mathematics as it itself is a mathematical model.

A proof of an algorithm that can freely manipulate a blockchain will render it useless.

You will likely hear from those who support using unproved mathematics in these types of systems that these conjectures have elluded proof for so long it is time to disregard rigor for a more meta analysis of the probability that a proof is likely in order to promote the technology.

But the possibility is always present that mathematically there will be a way that 'one person can alter the laws of Bitcoin' until proven otherwise.
Very useful advice. In those situations if you're trying to log an object just do `JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2)` to be sure of the state at that time.
I imagine checking the weather is an important task for pilots.
Can you explain how all of that would follow? Naively, if we take the limit of c to infinity, aren’t we simply back to Newtonian physics? Why wouldn’t a pendulum work, for example?
What are the odds that in hindsight, someone in your combinator would be for reducing the red tape? ;-)
> In Hinduism out of the 10 avatars, the first 3 are fish, turtle and boar.

Bhagavatam contains 22 avatars of Vishnu. The arbitrary selection of 10 which sometimes include Buddha is a later day invention.

This is Theospohical interpretation with no basis in actual scripture. It's like using the Book of Mormon to interpret the Old Testament.

Kalki is said to ride a horse, not have a horse's head. The horse headed avatar is Hayagriva who oddly enough isn't included in dasavatara.

Re: wish #3 with multiple IAM roles attached to an instance.

imds-filterd looks a bit like kube2iam, squinting a bit. There may be some not-too-terrible alternatives, considering that as prior art.

The first is the possibility of the daemon performing an assume-role. That is, the node has a role which allows it to assume roles a, b & c, and the metadata interceptor looks at the workload, assumes the appropriate role and returns credentials. This is a bit fiddly in terms of handling multiple concurrent requests, caching and races etc.

The second plausible option is that there is related functionality in AWS's replacement for kube2iam - IRSA (IAM roles for service accounts). This approach seems to be AWS's preferred approach for workload identity. It has a few more moving parts (needs an "OIDC Provider" which can just be a bucket) though.
Employers like a github link, should go some way towards what you need?
So much this. After having encountered ADTs for the first time in Haskell and later on in Rust and other languages, any language without sum types (like Rust's enums) feels wholly incomplete. And the destructuring pattern matching is the cherry on top.
