It is common in parts of India to make Mung Bean Pancakes (1). Soak the Mung Beans in more than three times the volume, for 4 hours. Throw the water away, grind the mung beans to a puree, and let it ferment overnight, and prepare it on a girdle as you would cook Pancakes.

My value add in this is that, between the soak and grind phases, I put the beans in the fridge for 24 hours tied in a wet cloth, and let it sprout before grinding it. Soak > Sprout > Grind > Ferment > Pancake. The sprouting increases the amount of nutrients marginally (2)(3).

One of the common and widely used ingredient to counter the gas-producing nature of legume dishes, is Asafoetida (aka Hing). (4)

Yes, that is true and I was aware of the discrepancy, never the less, people of lesser means make financial mistakes due to lack of financial literacy because it was not taught to them -these have lasting impact. On the other hand, for schools teaching financial literacy isn't as important as sports or providing a second language to kids but it should be.

I agree those $100,000 millennials can pick up the pieces/recover much easier due to a deeper well of marketable skills and resources.
Photonicinduction – Testing the 50 Year Old Mercury Arc Rectifier [video]
COVID-19 and consciousness about complications from WFH, new stresses or demands on employees in their family/home lives also ended up resetting the clock on a lot of PIPs or plans to set those PIPs in place ...

Also, managers/directors/etc often have to overcome the issue of reversing momentum on past praise or ratings given to these individuals.

In the Google perf (performance review) process, many individuals that probably should have gotten PIPs and/or counseled out also got high performance ratings in past reviews (for other reasons) from the very same managers and directors.

Generally to initiate a PIP, there needs to be a rating to justify the action (i.e. "Needs Improvement" - lowest rating). Giving a rating two levels or more above or below the last rating also requires justification in the rating process.

Google also cancelled/deferred its mid-year perf cycle during 2020 due to WFH/COVID challenges, which delayed opportunities for managers to give such ratings or feedback through the formal process. (for context: Google traditionally does "perf" twice per year, which are the formal opportunities for employees to receive performance ratings as well as nominations for promotion); this may or may not be correlated with interesting product launches or changes you might see as an end user during the year).
> But that's not what you said. And it's not really the point either way, because we're talking about providing feedback on the code, which was written by a person with an age and a race and a gender. And when you sit down with that person to provide feedback, you see their race, age, and gender. Saying you don't is just silly.

Maybe you and I mean different things when we say "see age/etc". Yours is probably more correct semantically, but when I say "see" I mean specifically adjusting my code review depending on age/etc. When I say I don't "see age/etc" I just mean that it doesn't influence how I evaluate someone's work professionally.

> I honestly can't tell if you created the throwaway for entertainment or having a real conversation but at this point I'm leaning towards the former because I genuinely don't believe you're confused about how to make an appropriate vs. inappropriate comment to a coworker. It doesn't really matter if they're male or female, if you tell someone that an outfit makes their body look X - you're probably going to get in trouble unless you happen to be good friends outside of work.

Your mildly toxic responses are a great reason why I don't engage on this subject matter at all (until now). And the reason why I created a throwaway account.

You seem to be very sure about yourself and how everyone else should act. You also seem to lack any compassion by default for what people struggle with. Honestly, your responses have even further convinced me that my approach is the correct one (for my own good/safety/etc).

My comment was me genuinely opening up. It's something I struggle with internally. If you work with me, you'd never know it.

> It doesn't really matter how you're perceived. If you document your reviews, and you do it fairly, the work will speak for itself. It has nothing to do with male vs. female. I've done this for decades, someone will inevitably accuse you of a bias, and you refer back to your documentation, notes, and the original work. They can mis-read all they want, the only thing HR cares about is a defensible position for your feedback.

Or I can just not engage at all. What do I stand to gain from having to deal with documentation/notes/etc in those cases? In environments where critical feedback is encouraged (or even required) then all I need to do is be less critical than the most critical people. Or in other words, only provide feedback that someone else has provided in the past.

> Ted (sic) Harmon got away with this because he is so so so highly respected in the field.

And he's an extraordinarily smart and self-aware person, too. Most people aren't really in a position to do this much introspection and analyze the situation. If this is the bar of apology that's required, pretty much nobody is going to clear it.
Even that doesn't seem to be accurate:

“Using extensive co-staining with established markers, they were able to relate the twelve neuron classes to previously discovered molecular characteristics of functional enteric neuron types, thus classifying the ENCs into excitatory and inhibitory motor neurons, interneurons, and intrinsic primary afferent neurons.”

With a sharper protocol and new information, the researchers were able to confirm and expand on the existing body of ENS neuron knowledge. And now they can work on finding out what each of the 12 ENS neuron types is responsible for, they say.

Which sounds less like "now scientists know how it works in mice" and more like "now scientists know more about the different cell types it contains in mice."
I just spoke with Andrew and he was incredibly helpful and is going to help me out. Whew. Thank you Andrew and HN!!

Because it's a horrible metric. It doesn't count how many people can purchase the house in full compared to having to take a mortgage. If previously people could buy a house without taking mortgage, now they are forced to take it.
It's usually cheaper to settle than to go to court. A company I worked for got hit (apparently using TLS violates their patent. Even though it's the browser that initiated the connection). Company simply paid up because it was cheaper.
In your financial literacy class, try to explain the random behavior of the stock market and the scientifically demonstrated inability of people to pick individual stocks that will increase in value. Watch heads explode, unable to wrap their minds around the idea that certain mutual funds might be profitable many years in a row just from pure luck.

Wake me up when these financial literacy classes talk about the stock market in any way other than "it's a game, try to pick the winners". The short-term school "stock market game" is selecting winners from those whose strategies involve the greatest risk/variance. (No mention of this in TFA, but it's popular in my city.)

There are some real hard lessons to teach here, but I'm skeptical of both the curriculum's content (who wrote it?) and the audience's ability to make sense of it.
> Or, idk, I'm blind because I think Apple products are so great. The latter most is probably more likely.

As a fellow cult member who hasn't drunk enough kool aid, Apple products have been losing their luster in recent years.

Apple TV still doesn't have hands free voice control. Fire TV has had this for years now. Using your iPhone isn't great because it doesn't have the microphone setup to consistently hear your voice well. Does Siri and Apple TV finally work together with Home Pod like how Google TV uses smart Google speakers?

Apple Macbooks have suffered immensely with the near useless touch bar and terrible keyboard.

Thinness as a feature seems to override everything else. I don't care about having a thin desktop. I want something I can open and replace parts in without paying about $10k.

The list goes on. Including how there's still no word on the VR / AR unit, while Facebook mops the floor.

The only light in the darkness is the M1 chip.

If those who currently run forums consciously choose to not consider expanding functionality to truly maximize the optimization of their goal (in this case, intellectual curiosity), this seems true by definition.
>Honestly- I don't think 99% of students will care. And those that do are largely the type that will not need this class (well off, or already would be doing this research, for example).

yeah because they find other subjects more captivating? May as well replace one boring subject with a boring one that at least has more applicability to real life.
Seems like you are just really in deep with Apple. I've used Apple professionally for over a decade now, and personally for a long time before that (Mac SE was my first). When I'm on my personal laptop (windows/linux) I miss absolutely nothing about Apple. Well, that's not quite true, I appreciate the uniformity, but the uniformity costs too much in terms of a walled garden, which is an antithesis to how I think things should be.

I think Microsoft does far more interesting research than Apple, which largely (but not completely) just buys new ideas like Cisco. An effective strategy, granted. I feel MS has a feel for where development is going better than Apple, with VS Code and the purchase of Github.

"missing something that just hasn't happened in computing in any other period of time I can immediately think of" is just hyperbole. To me, Apple has always been the company that takes other people's ideas and polishes the hell out of them - which is amazing, but when I look at my 30+ year tech career, I don't get very excited about Apple.
Lamborghini, Porsche, and CAT have all slapped their name on Android phones.
Completely agree. The words "metaverse substrate" just set my BS meter to a thousand, so I didn't even bother reading the article at first. Then I did read (most of it), and still my BS meter was at a thousand.

So what is the percentage of people that must be purged every year at Amazon? Does that goal vary by country?

I've seen people quote 5%, 6%, 15% and even 30%.
The 30% number was in the Amazon India post that was high-ranking here yesterday.
Also when files were mostly just text, it would have made a lot of sense
The whole Stallman thing was a shit show, and I think he was thrown off the board for all the wrong reasons. I was still glad so see him go, simply because FSF was a better organization without him.

But yeah, the railroading that he got was wrong.

He should have been removed simply because he has become an obstacle. The FSF does a lot of good things, but occasionally they do dumb things, and it seems (I could be wrong) that the dumb things come down to assuaging Stallman's ego.
> because people that know me know that I’m a very reasonable person who doesn’t hate anyone or any group

That, and other aspects of reality may not interest the kind of people who would 'cancel' someone.
Special since the last update, calc does need a long long time, even on a fast notebook. An app like calc should be open just instant. Even just a second is way to long on fast and modern hardware.
You don't have to jailbreak your phone or root it to accomplish these things. Stuff like MS "Your Phone" for integrating your Android phone and Windows is built into some devices like those from Samsung and Windows will even walk you through the steps at first boot. Most of this stuff is built in and I'm not entirely sure app installs are onerous. 80%+ seems a little ridiculous.
I love me some Calculus, but the reason it is required is that 60 years ago we were worried that the Soviets were outpacing us in rocket design, which was seen as a major threat to our national security. Calculus is pretty darn useful for building rockets.
He propagated a meme statement and had to clarify that his actual opinion has more nuance, as does the situation he referred to.

Accusing someone of supporting genocide should not be considered an appropriate way of asking them to provide a more considered, nuanced opinion.
The problem here is pigeon holing. When you are eager to classify people fast and efficiently into a small number of bins, you trample on a lot of nuance.

For instance, suppose I thought abortion should be legal for the first N weeks, but require case-by-case approval from a panel of ethicists after N weeks. Does that put me in the pro-life bin or the pro-choice bin? Probably more the latter than the former, but it's certainly not a pure 'choice' position to have on the matter.
I've been the same since Android removed phone recording capabilities.

Internet feels slower each year and the screen space dedicated to content and not ads or popups shrinks every day.

It's like in Idiocracy where the guy has a huge screen but maybe a tenth of is for the content.
Reminds me of Leonard Peikoff's lecture- "A picture is not an argument."

Memes show how easy it is to manipulate or con a large group of people.
what does it specifically say? I remember seeing prominent BofA and some other bank's booth at my college's welcome week in 2017, and a decent number of people crowded around. Felt very scummy.

And nothing has changed about that.

Most predictions are actually wrong. Let's see the hardware that "doesn't suck", let's see the UI and utility that "are there" and then I'll tell you if we have a winner or not.

Right now we have nothing except bold fantasies powered by sci-fi movies full of cheap hologram VFX.
> Generally, compensation is pretty closely tied to revenue per employee. Not always, but it’s a pretty good rule of thumb.

This is the first time I heard Windows phone being called bug-ridden. It was an awesome phone OS. It did not have many apps but the platform was solid. I still miss the way copy and paste worked.
If you're paying rent then it's not the end of ownership. If anything it's a doubling-down on the concept.
I'm not presenting this as the answer to why home ownership is screwed up. I'm presenting this as a significant part of the answer to why everyone is so indebted in general. With debt so "cheap", anything you are competing with other people for, which is basically everything in the end, you are competing with people who took "cheap" debt. When the path is greased, at scale it will be taken.

Stimulus, incidentally, has much the same problem. Yeah, great, everyone gets $3000 or whatever, but now you're just in competition with other people who just got $3000. It's not a complete loss, of course, but people advocating for it always want to talk about the benefits in pre-stimulus currency, but people spend it in post-stimulus currency.
Hmm that's a good point, I had not considered the shared memory architecture of the Qualcomm chipsets.

That said, given that using AT commands usually require enormous amounts of (potentially insecure) string parsing I wouldn't be surprised if there are vulnerabilities to closed source blobs even over USB. That is to say, the reverse engineering on the Android side could improve the security posture (or it could also make it worse!).

Maybe to the extent that anyone who participates in social justice mobs is being performative, but it definitely did not help her career or result in any material gain. She also had no incentive to take down Stallman specifically, of course she didn't even really know who he was when she made the post. I wouldn't be surprised if she was trying to get a bit of street cred with her in-group, but to me that's just an extremely human, often somewhat subconscious thing. I would be surprised if that was literally the only motivation though - the post comes across as legitimately emotional, not faux outrage.

That doesn't mean she was right to make the post obviously, I just don't think it was any sort of active ploy on her part. I don't even think the anger was fake, from her or most of the initial responders. As it propagated maybe the outrage was more manufactured, but believe me I know people that felt just as heated as she did at the time, only expressed it in private chats. In some cases these were chats with just a handful of friends that had a spectrum of opinions on the issue, so no reason for it to be posturing.

I hate cancel culture, and I understand feeling like some instances are very manufactured. But I feel it is more dangerous when it is organic, because it is very hard to deal with legitimate human emotions. I think usually when the organic mobs misfire it is a "straw breaking the camel's back" type situation: some minor offender becomes the target of pent up rage from a larger issue, and the punishment ends up being way disproportionate for the one, while many others get off scot-free.
The GP said "public apology", not "apology". You can apologize to the victims in private.

But the performance relies on the aggressive specialization which depends on multiple dispatch. And the adaptation to numerical computing, the cleanness and beauty is all about multiple dispatch.

To stay with the bike analogy, multiple dispatch is definitely the wheels, not the motor.

> for one, I 100% agree with your views on variable naming elsewhere on this thread ;)

Waaah! (pulls hair.) And yet, so far apart on the function naming ;)

But seriously, though. Without the incredible polymorphism and genericity, there's really nothing at all left of Julia. Multiple dispatch isn't a feature bolted onto Julia. It is the core philosophy, and the central organizing principle.
Only in Japan. Vodafone itself is a British company; they just sold their Japanese arm (Vodafone Japan) to SoftBank who eventually rebranded it as SoftBank Mobile.
I wonder what the folks at Shopify think of this given that they are doing a huge amount of performance work with Ruby/Truffle-ruby.

That doesn’t work when your actions affect more than just yourself. If my risk tolerance is high (which it is since I have a friend who has a compromised immune system and can’t risk being a carrier even though I’m vaccinated) and yours is low then we have an unresolvable problem.

If you’re allowed to go around freely then my liberty is reduced because now I have to take precautions against being around you where I otherwise wouldn’t. But if you’re not then I get my liberty back as the cost of your freedom of choice.

You cannot have all three. Someone is going to lose, it’s just a question of who and how much.
I don't think "online mob" is the only reasonable reading here, and the claim that the people telling the other side of this story must be psychologically unhealthy is also inflammatory, as is talking about its "toxicity" and "destructiveness".

This seems absurd. I never sided with the math is racist people.

That's a good point.

Northeast regional is pretty much traversing over the megacity that is the WashDC -> New York City area. You're looking at people and culture, and probably need to plan your route very carefully (Ex: to ensure you actually have something to do in NYC, you might want to buy some Broadway tickets, or find a ticket to your favorite talk-show host).

In contrast, California Zephyr / Starlight Express has a lot more rugged mountains, stunning coastlines, and nature to explore. This is a longer route but you traverse across much more "nature" so to speak.

So it depends what you want to see.
