> So HR and leadership believe that their system “works” but it’s really that their employees are willing to put up with straight up torture. They are deluded into thinking that their metrics and PIP plan work well because their best employees are staying but it’s really just the stock price.

I feel like that's my problem as well in the company I work for (a well-known multinational, but not FAANG). I have a good compensation (although nowhere near the levels of FAANGs), yet I feel a little bit burned out.

If they didn't pay so well, I would have have left and taken a sabbatical (or two) to recover and rethink my life. And probably I would even return - and it might be more productive for all of us in the end. But I don't want to leave the golden cage because of the money, so I trudge along. It's weird how it is a perverse incentive. (And I wonder that it seems to be even worse for my coworkers who moved from another country here, and have now family dependent on this particular job.)

I think we are conditioned to take the money, instead of quality of life, because we worry about the modern neoliberal precarity, uncertainty about the future. Mark Blyth theorizes that the precarity might be bigger issue for most people than social inequality.
Or simply none of them were aware that the kinds of speculation they were doing were capable of producing exploitable vulnerabilities. It took security researchers a long time to find these issues, and the kind of speculation that the original Spectre and Meltdown exploited were well known outside of the chipmakers for over a decade. Intel was simply more aggressive at that particular avenue of performance improvement.

cdl (commercial drivers license) starts at 13 tons. that's way way more battery than I had in mind, multi megawatt-hour class. no. that's be stupid. no one is talking about hazardous materials. they're talking about a vehicle with 2x, 3x, 4x more battery than we have today. which, as battery technology continues to advance, will become probably smaller and lighter.

i appreciate your attempts to check me & my fantasies but wow I really think you are way way way off here, orders of magntiude off target on the emerging economics.

As for your 30 minute charge, at 200kW (a very attainable rate today already) a 30 minute charge is 80kWh, a full charge for most cars. Why do you need a full charge? in my head I see this more as a system of 10 minute charges, that turn back after a certain distance to maimtaon proximity to home. just get more charge from the next township's local charge fleet.

> Even in your scenario, there's nothing stopping the aspiring golfer from attending Stanford part-time while they try to make it in pro-golf.

Does Stanford allow part time undergraduates? A brief Googling suggests that generally they do not, unless there are special circumstances, but it wasn't clear what would count as special circumstances.
Yes, it's very profitable for devs because you can just steal everyone's money, since the smart contract language was invented by people who did zero reading about safe program design.
I'll second what ZephyrBlue said:

- you aren't defined by who your employer is
- your intelligence isn't defined by who your employer is
- you can't control what other people say or think about you
- you're worth a hell of a lot more than what you do or what you make per year (emotionally, intellectually, spiritually)
- life is random, do the best you can and don't hurt yourself doing so

At the risk of sounding morbid, we're all just apes on a flying rock trying to figure out what existence means to us. Reach out if you need help, there's nothing wrong with that.

The upgrade is still free…or at least they still are for me in the US as recently as earlier this year…I have an old Vostro that gets so little use it is faster to reinstall W10 from scratch than upgrade.

The same was true for the old Precision workstation a couple of years ago when I gave it to my kid.

And several other machines including a Win7 Thinkpad off eBay.

My advice is download the installation tool and give it a try.

Backup first as needed of course.

Think of all the complaints Microsoft avoids by keeping Windows 10 available without a bunch of time, money, and rigmarole.
Google’s Messaging Mess: A Timeline
There's a pretty good response to this study here:

https://deniseminger.com/2010/09/08/brand-spankin-new-study-...

In short, based on questionable dataset, "low carb" wasn't really low carb (37-60% calories), "vegetable-based" diet was still ~30% animal source calories (vs 45% for "animal-based"), vegetable group generally ate more varied/whole food plants and had healthier behaviors, various other contradictory health outcomes within the deciles.

Most people should probably be eating more plants, but this study really doesn't demonstrate "low-carbohydrate diet based on animal sources was associated with higher all-cause mortality, whereas a vegetable-based low-carbohydrate diet was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality rates" especially as most people would understand the terms "low-carb" / "based on animal sources" / "vegetable-based".
> since sinking a US aircraft carrier probably means nuclear war.

USSR/Russian strategy against air carrier groups are nuclear torpedoes (launched from subs) and swarming nuclear cruise missles diving underwater some last mile before impact (launched from ships/subs/coast/heavy bombers).

Could it be equally likely that they are simply recognising how difficult it is to use data from dietary studies? There are so many confounding factors that are very difficult to account for. part of the reason there is so little consensus in the field.

This sort of thing is why I like to explore the areas around where I work. Health and safety says to go for a short walk every hour or two, anyways.

Sometimes you find a relaxing park. Sometimes you find a stairwell with a pointless top landing where you can hide and do frustration pushups. Sometimes you find a cheap hole-in-the-wall.

And sometimes...sometimes, you find a hidden bathroom.

It's easier with big companies in urban centers, because your badge often lets you wander into a bunch of random downtown buildings.
Yeah, I was worried about this and so I watched the lights on the visualization: at least per the visualization, the brake lights are turn on for regenerative breaking more or less like they would turn on for applying the brakes.
No, of course not. This was much more invasive than a tap.

a co-working stipend does not help me work with my co-workers who I need to collaborate with and who's back and forth decrease iteration times far below what they are remotely. Instead a co-working stipend just lets me hang out with strangers who are irrelevant to my actual job.

I get that not everyone needs to collaborate a way that requires face to face to be efficient but many do. As a simple example I'd expect a UX designer to be far more efficient to hand their phone to their co-worker and say "try this" instead of on slack "hey, sync to the latest version, oh you're in the middle of something? Okay, stash that, now grab my version, build....several minutes later....okay now navigate to this menu. no not that one. Pick Foo->Bar then scroll down and click the Moo button. Okay now, try it"

Someone will now pipe-in that Figma solves this. Fine, I chose a bad example. In my case it would be passing a game so Figma would not solve it.

Well maybe you don't understand that Europe is not homogeneous and vary a lot.

Sounds like power output is more like 100Mw.

> Each three-second launch can consume as much as 100 million watts of electricity, about as much as a small town uses in the same amount of time. “A utility does that using an acre of equipment,” says lab engineer Mike Doyle, but due to shipboard space limitations, “we have to take that and fit it into a shoebox.” In shipboard generators developed for electromagnetic catapults, electrical power is stored kinetically in rotors spinning at 6,400 rpm. When a launch order is given, power is pulled from the generators in a two- to three-second pulse

Ultimately you're going to have to weigh a basket of info: methodology vs. limitations vs. results vs. number of citations vs. similar studies, etc, before you can come to your own conclusion. In this case, almost 80 other journal papers cited this paper as reputable.
You don't have to pre-clean dishes. This video is a bit long-winded but gets the point across. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04

One person doing one person's worth of dishes is pretty manageable. Once you get more people involved, or if you're getting a lot of utensils dirty while making something fancy, it can be a whole different story. Also, I think they use less water than washing by hand, but again this depends on how many dishes you put in there at a time.
Don't believe the hype, there is really not much you could do to improve upon Git. There is a good reason why Git is not a VSCode plugin or a GUI program like inexperienced devs often expect it to be. It's an example of a program that uses unix philosophy. There is nothing stopping you from using Git through a GUI or a simplified text interface if you want, but that functionality is out of the scope of Git.
Reading too much science is actually common with anti-vaxxers and other such people, they love quoting renegade doctors and having absolute faith in arxiv papers they misread or quoted out of context.

Most published research is false even if it's peer-reviewed, and it may be better to leave it to people who read it full time and understand it's an ongoing conversation.
My general impression is that there are only three broad ways to be happy in life:

1. Genetically (i.e. your brain just works that way)

2. Luck into it

3. Iterate towards it (continuously)

The whole concept of "get job X and now I'm done" doesn't really fit well into any of those. A job could be a good iteration or you could get lucky and have it turn out to be a wonderful team/position/whatever, but the likelihood of your plan being "I need to do x" and then you do x and are then happy seems immensely unlikely. Like Samuel Johnson said, "Life is a progression from want to want, not enjoyment to enjoyment."

This is not exactly true. RT does not freely operate in the US, it was forced in a court of law to register as a foreign agent. Legally the US government would have been able to arrest every single RT journalist beforehand and send them to jail for five years.

So yes, in court, it was decided whether or not RT was an agent of the Russian government, which is exactly the question at had in the post I was replying to.

This is not actually applied since the end of the Cold War, but legally per the Foreign Agents Registration Act if you don't register as a foreign agent despite being one, even without being notified you should, you are committing a crime can be convicted.

So, for example, being in contact with Xi Jinping or his lackeys and engaging in political action without registering as a foreign is actually a crime. And yes, people were prosecuted for that. But that's beyond even the point that I was stating, as a matter of FARA a court can and does inquire about that.

RT is not right now being pursued for it, but people in the US can be pursued for doing things such as lying or leaking national secrets, ie things that would normally be protected under the first amendment, if they are doing so in furtherance of the goals of a foreign government without registering officially beforehand.

For a recent case, see the case of Elliot Brodly which was found guilty for engaging in lobbying for a foreign government.

These laws in the US are very, very selectively enforced. The lack of prosecution of a certain entity doesn't mean anything. BBC reporters in the US are technically committing a federal offense by not registering as foreign agents, but the government will never prosecute them for that. RT, on the other hand, was forced to register, and WEB Dubois was prosecuted for even less on the same laws.

Reminds me of the poor fellow who jumped off a Facebook building because their manager blocked their transfer. I bet you wouldn't tell them "they could have gone to a different company". Visa issues non-withstanding, a rational, hopeful frame of mind is not always available to us at all times. (Not even talking about the stresses of immigrating itself).

Depression, despair etc are illogical narrowing our frames of minds and not being able to see any out. Kind of like getting stuck with a coding problem until you walk away and take a break, except you can't think of a way of walking away. (Or your "way" may manifest itself as psychosis or self harm.)
i don’t think there’s any difference. the goal is always attention. maybe in prior internet world the best attention you could get would be a lot of replies in your special segment of myphpbb and get a 10 page post. now you can get your tweet screenshotted and and submitted to reddit or whatever and know your “dunk” got 10k upticks - same result you get attention

Lol what a baseless claim
It can be very rewarding to jump right into a new creative project (e.g. cellular automata, drawing, etc) without any knowledge of what's already been done before. When you approach a something from a clean state perspective, you won't have any references of what's what, and all of your discoveries will be the result of your own creative experimentation. If at some point you feel like you've reached a limit to discovering things, you will naturally become curious about what other people have done -- to see what else is out there that you didn't find on your own. Only then do you see the sort of stuff that's already out there, and it's way more exciting, because you appreciate it how difficult it was for others to reach unfamiliar states you didn't reach on your own.

That same bewilderment might not happen if you read about all the amazing things that already exist before you even get started. If you read or see too much of what's already been done first, you might just end up feeling starting from scratch is boring, because it isn't as interesting as the more advanced stuff other people had already done.
Supposedly they (at least nowadays) use less water without pre-cleaning (at least nowadays) than doing it by hand. Don't care, don't have one, don't do much dishes anyways.
I really dislike your burried link, not mentioning what you are arguing about.

> if this is the state (hn link)

this is an enormous load of salt to throw while doing nothing to clarify or make clear where umbrage might be taken. poor form of "question asking" & does a disservice to possible conversations, by not making a case, just being nasty. you should at least try to communicate a case for your distaste, so as not to present as so easily disregarding & dismissing without real interest. you seem unwilling from the start to be accepting.
Of the RHEL clones, Rocky seems to have most of the online buzz.

I'm still rocking CentOS 7 on my server. At this point I'll probably wait for EL 9 to update.

No, dishwashers are not bullshit. They wash more dishes with less total effort. Our family of four runs that thing at least once a day. Had washing does not scale. They are probably not worth it if you live alone and are diligent.

REST is a buzzword that doesn't actually lead to good api design.
Is it though? I think that's the point of the study - not all keto are equal. High meat keto increases mortality, high vegetable keto decreases mortality. That the same is true for non-diet diets is already well established so this just shows that even in diets high meat is unhealthy.

Usage of POST to update is so common, I don't think it's unreasonable to say it's a de-facto standard. Sort of like how if an English word/phrase is misused enough, the "wrong" version eventually makes it into dictionaries.
>yet if an application, most likely Google Chrome, uses more than about 4-5gb, it crashes.

64bit apps shouldn't have such a limit under Windows, and can definitely use more memory. Perhaps you're seeing a case of RAM gone bad (where the large apps are much more likely to trip over the bad location)? Consider running memtest.
> insulting the rival camp prompts insults in the opposite direction and now the first camp feels obliged to respond

In my experience, the two (or more) camps are often not communicating. A totem of a position representing the other side is attacked, with the trolling responses imputed versus observed. A good fraction of the politically-oriented meme communities on Reddit, for example, could happily continue through the heat death of the universe without ever requiring any input from the "other side."
Arcades are actually back with Round1. Newspapers never could've lived for long, they essentially survived on Rolex not being able to advertise straight to their own customers.
I never made such claim.

It is not inconsistent for something to be legal today and then become illegal after a Judge issues a ruling. Right now, what Apple is doing is legal. It may become illegal in future.

My prediction of the outcome is, I think, a coin flip between the Judge ruling entirely in Apple's favour, or a ruling that is mostly in Apple's favour but requires a minor relaxation of certain rules around messaging inside apps about alternative methods of payment. (However even in the event of the latter, this would not represent any impediment to Apple requiring a percentage license fee when payment occurs through an alternative method. In which case it would be moot.)

For anyone following the trial directly—not just consuming other people's interpretations—it was clear that the Judge was repeatedly seeking some sort of bone to throw Epic's way, slicing the thinnest possible piece for Epic. It all hinges upon what the Judge determines to be the relevant market, and what is considered an acceptable substitute under the Sherman act. Somewhat ironically, Epic is a terrible plaintiff in this respect since their games are available on many platforms.
Yep. If you want to be able to use your api almost everywhere, just use POST.

If it really needs to be everywhere, you'll probably need to accept GET as well.

You also need to do your own work to make things idempotent if it matters. Your client won't know if the server saw and processed the request if the client didn't get the response, so it's likely to retry.
Note that we haven't even fully understood how humans are bootstrapped in the first place.
It's not a "trend", it's literally part of the HTTP (and therefore REST) specification[1]. It's theoretically the correct way to do things.

There are some reasonable arguments that different verbs can/should indicate idempotence or hint at what the response might be, but it's useless in practice because almost no one follows the spec.

lazygit offers undo like OP's command? I don't think so. What I meant was Git undo displays a list of commits, I would like to see those commit's contents as well, we can do it with fzf.
One of the APIs I maintain is for user profiles. A user profile has all kinds of stuff, eg name, email, phone, timezone etc etc.

Forcing callers to send a PUT with the whole user profile object every time someone updates a single thing is pretty wasteful.

+ if a caller is a caller that listens to events like "user u wants to update their number to 555 555 555, please do that", they don't even have the whole user object, they'd have to make a GET first, then set the new number, then send that whole PUT. That in turn introduces race conditions where their PUT could overwrite some other change someone else made to eg the email address in the meantime.

So there's definitely a case for PATCH! It all depends on your use case. For many systems it might not be something that's an issue.
To be fair, 3.1 was snappy because it didn't have the layers of security and anti-crashing catches that we now rely on.
