I wonder if the "I have read the Terms and Conditions" checkbox has some responsibility for this.

I'm constantly amazed at how many people don't seem to understand that a contract is a negotiation. Most people wouldn't dream of taking a job that didn't pay enough financially, but agree to jobs with awful terms and conditions because they didn't read. We are all used to contracts that are too long to understand.
For anyone who sees this, the $25 vial is for Novolin R, which has a longer absorption rate than modern analog insulins. It's a great option for people on low-carb diets or those who have food absorption problems since you have more time to react to lows and it matches slower absorption of proteins and high fat meals if you don't have an insulin pump that can handle that type of meal for you.

But there's also a new release from Walmart for an analog insulin was just announced a few weeks ago! It's a Novolog equivalent and what many people are using today with insulin pumps and diets that have fast absorbing carbs: https://corporate.walmart.com/newsroom/2021/06/29/walmart-re...

The vials are around $70ish US dollars and the pens are around $85ish. That's a wayyyy more affordable rate (50-75% less) than paying out of pocket for Novolog or Humalog. Also keep in mind that manufacturers also have programs to assist you with insulin costs if you can't afford it.
Thanks, I've never heard of this before so it was cool to learn about.
Got tested a few years back and was told I don't have it, although I check pretty much every box on the inattentive type. I need to be better about attempting other ways to address the issues, but it feels like I can never catch up to give myself enough time to make a real game plan, and when I do try things (like Pomodoro) they fall apart within hours.
Customer IDs should have at least one or two checksum digits to help spotcheck for data entry errors anyway.
You made a very general statement! They are enforceable because usually the violator is doing something ridiculously broad. Like going to work for McDonalds R&D after leaving Burger King as the VP of product design.

My anecdotal experience:

I once worked for a major bank and someone who left another major bank held a meeting with developers of a next-gen platform where he basically explained, in explicit detail, his old employer's entire platform. I would argue a non-compete would be 100% enforceable here.

Another time, I was threatened to not use any IP from a startup I helped start. I specifically asked early on for an agreement to share the rights to my code. On my last day this agreement was terminated and the non-compete took precedence. Consulting with several lawyers (not in california) told me that it would be an uphill battle for the business to win against me as the optics of a large corp suing an individual doesn't bode well for the plantiff. Unless you started a multi-million dollar revenue generating project, which in that case I was advised to settle as a peace offering.

They aren't making up words though, they're "merely" having an AI read words we know he wrote. Is that ethical? I'm not sure. Neither is the filmmaker:

I'm not sure that's true. C's simplicity helps it out here.

Ultimately when everything is on fire, what's running isn't C or C++ but machine code. So, worst case in either scenario you're looking at the machine code.

But the correspondence between your C++ and the machine code is far worse than for C. In your C program a lot of closing curly braces don't result in any code being emitted, but in C++ lots of the machine code can be attributed to the innocuous looking closing curly braces. Every local leaving scope calls its destructors.

C++ doesn't actually "de-sugar" syntactic sugar in a consistent way. So, while you know your ranged for is in some sense sugar for a traditional C-style indexed for loop, you can't show that loop and aren't intended to. But this means a further loss of correspondence. In both cases the compiler is going to emit the same code, it's not stupid, this is the same operation, with more or less sugar. But the machine code looks a lot more like the indexed for loop.

I like for each type loops, iterator adaptors, and so on, if I never write another traditional indexed for loop in my life that'd be fine, but if the world is mysteriously on fire and I need to understand why, the nice sugar is not a good model for what the machine was actually doing.

Also, template meta-programmed constants. Your C++ program may have a difficult to understand bug at compile time. Yes, the C-pre-processor is terrible here, but that's technically shared by both languages, I'm talking about constexpr template madness. For example maybe at compile time your C++ program should parse JSON and behave differently based on the results. That's a real thing.
I'd be a little skeptical of that. Valve's commitment here is to "providing SteamOS as a platform", not "building a really appealing handheld". It seems counterintuitive, but I'd imagine Valve is lobbying for the entire Linux platform right now: especially after you hear the rhetoric on their dev page for the Deck.
To be fair, even doing that is a lot compared to some news sources
If humanity cut all of CO2 emissions today, it's going to take hundreds of years for accumulated CO2 to drop significantly! It's mostly excess CO2 and doesn't drop beyond seasonal cycles.
In a world that is constantly touting competition drives innovation, it seems strange to me that this was ever legal.

Restricting the industry a person can work in, or the ability to switch between companies at will only serves to harm the employee and their ability to negotiate their compensation.

I've only signed one non compete, and where I am they are only enforceable in the county they are signed in, and even then it started the relationship with the employer off on the wrong foot, I didn't stay long.
This is the weird fuzzy part with math.

I can say arbitrary stuff like the set of all sets with positive numbers but when I say the set of all algorithms written in English and C++ suddenly I'm getting too specific. Where is the line drawn?
For some people it leads to issues. Here are some of the possible issues one can encounter: depression, anxiety, loss of motivation, psychosis, low testosterone, lack of energy / motivation, loss of concentration, short-term memory loss, lung damage...

Whether or not an individual experiences any of these negative side effects will likely depend on a variety of different factors ranging from the person's personality, to their genes, their state of mental and physical health, how often they smoke, and what precisely they smoke. I'm not sure where you live or what kind of weed you smoke but a lot of weed on the streets of the US today has a dramatically higher level of THC than it did in the past. When the THC levels are much higher than the other cannabinoid compounds it increases the risk of psychosis.

So I think the bottom line here is that you need be careful and be mindful that weed is not "harmless." Growing up, we thought it was harmless because you can't overdose on it and people don't generally smoke all their money away the way some people do with other drugs. But it can still fuck you up. It just takes longer and does so in much more subtle ways.

I hope that helps you...
We're currently undergoing the largest mass extinction event that will easily rank in the top 6 of life on this planet and could possibly compete with the end-permian. What makes you think we could possibly survive? Because we're the cause? Plenty of species in the past that have caused extinction events also perished.

It seems far more questionable to assume we won't risk extinction in the geological near term. The parent is downvoted more out of existential fear rather than an honest assessment of the situation.

I'd love a device with a reflective LCD screen since I find that my eyes hurt after staring at bright screens for so long. Ideally it would be color, giving it a distinct advantage over eink. TCL NXTpaper looks very interesting for this reason.

As for apps, I'd be happy if it ran Obsidian, Sublime, Scrivener, and Office (or really anything powerful enough to let me write my papers with proper Japanese support and do code snippet highlighting).

Having a pen input might be nice for diagrams and mindmapping.

I guess I really just want a reflective iPad.

Tying accounts to phone numbers is a design decision that is just plain wrong for anything that does not only run on a phone or anything that is supposed to identify a person rather than a phone number.

I recently bought a M1 MacMini for dev and general desktop use. This new device means I may finally be able to sell my bulky "gaming pc". Can play on tv with the dock, in hands or as you mentioned could dock it on my desk, use my existing kb/mouse!

I enjoyed using SteamLink app on my AppleTV so this also replaces it! Am guessing when in dock, we will be able to use bluetooth controller which Steam already supports.

Can’t wait to sell my big ass pc case. I’m disillusioned with that ecosystem, such a circle jerk. I bought a high quality power supply only to find out the cables are so thick, it was not possible to bend them and fit inside NZXT case. So... I ended up buying "gamer" braided, colored psu cables... conveniently sold by the same maker of PSU. Well of course, pc building nowadays is just a massive scam, circlejerk between parts makers who send pieces for reviews, reviewers which almost always glowingly rate the hardware, and "pc gaming masterrace" whose ego is too thick to notice what a con this has become.

Frankly it’s to a point where I want to applaud Apple’s new iMac for selling an actual usable computer, thin, light, all in one. Can you even build a NORMAL computer nowadays without all the "gamer" crap?

Even my Asus mobo pisses me off. It replaces the windows booting logo with their shitty gamer logo, and tweaking bios did not help.

I can’t wait to sell my pc case. It looks nice, but it’s also really heavy, bulky and Windows takes far too much of personal time just to get it to run like you want it to. The future is this (portable, dockable) and what Apple has done with the new iMacs ( almost a new class of portable desktop form pc )... and it doesn’t matter if we will replace the entire computer every few years, just as it doesn’t matter with this iPad i’m using, since all our purchases are linked to an account, and transfering data and apps is fairly easy nowadays.
I have never encountered a non-compete in my home state of Texas, so I looked this up:

https://www.texasnoncompetelaw.com/articles/noncompete-agree...

It appears in Texas non-competes are a thing, but only to restrict the direct transfer of business/market responsibility to a competing business, which I imagine generally applies to only senior executives and sales agents.

It seems at one point almost all of the travel industry, except Expedia, was located in my area and people were bouncing between competing employers all the time without any limitation. People were even leaving their employers to found competing businesses without limitation.

As somebody who has never had to deal with this madness it seems strange that any state would want to wound its own economy by restricting employee mobility.
There are more.

I have some that state, I can't work directly with clients of my clients.
Has #pandemicHIFI been a thing? I know I've made a few purchases this year that I probably wouldn't have on my old routine.

Super interesting, and that makes a lot of sense!

Luckily our _internal_ IDs don't rely on sequences at all, and for ordering I'd always use a field specifically for that purpose like `created_at` timestamps etc (vs inferring ordering from IDs). Best if IDs just remain references!

This could have been another interesting bug though, in a way glad we hit this one instead and that it's now fixed so we don't hit this one in future!
I agree with you on the incentives part and that's also why I'm apprehensive about public unions. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of a civil "servant" being able to strike and remove services, particularly those the government has a monopoly over. I'd like to think a democracy has better mechanism to manage civil servant disputes.

But I disagree that it's "virtually impossible" for unions to have the right incentives in the private sector. I previously worked in the automotive sector and the unions were incentivized to come to the table and adjust their previously agreed upon contract for the feasibility of the business back during the financial crisis. They knew if they took too hard of a line, it meant the company would not survive and that contract was worthless. Public unions, it seems, are a different animal though.

Umm, but you are also taking money from your employer so you can't say that in reverse.
It’s a good reason to keep quiet. :-)

What’s interesting about the first case you cite is those types of NDAs help individual companies but hurt the ecosystem.

Wherever there’s a large grouping of world class firms, they benefit in aggregate from cross-pollination. Think NYC for banking and advertising, CA and Seattle for tech, Houston for energy, Etc. One reason people can chase the best ideas in CA is non-competes aren’t enforceable. But in any individual case someone leaving hurts the firm they were previous employed at. So firms still push for non-competes.

Anytime I see an announcement of a new ALGOL-like language, I check for two biggest problems which I didn't like in my Turbo Pascal days: error handling and memory management. Let's check this language:

Error handling: language specification has no mention of word "error". The example show the total lack of it: JSON parser, on seeing the invalid data, prints error and exits entire program (!!!) [0]

Memory management: Oberon+ has garbage collection! Nice!

So a clear improvement, but still needs some work before becoming usable.

(Note that error handling is as much user convention as is compiler support -- after all, C has no language-level error handling either, but C's JSON parsers do not exit entire program on invalid json.)

It refers to the amount of the perimeter that the fire (probably) can't cross.

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/21/572305828/what-does-containin...

> That means that [x] percent of the fire is surrounded by containment lines — any physical barrier that stops the fire from passing a certain point. Those lines can be trenches, natural barriers like rivers, or even already-burned patches of land. Most often, the containment line is a shallow, 10- to 12-feet wide trench firefighters dig into the dirt.

Interesting.

Thanks for the insight!

I guess it IS very different to believe, for decades, in a mission that includes space telescopes than in the latest SaaS or productivity app or something more "mundane". Not that there's anything bad working on those kind of projects, but it sure has a different scope (no pun intended)

But why worry about enemies understanding the radio? I can practically guarantee that the lower classification maintenance books that get "lost" already make it to enemy hands. Plus if we use COTS then looking at anything but the encryption module would tell them little to nothing and allow them to use whatever existing civilian supply chains are available.

Sure there's a time for LPI/LPJ, but short of a war with China I don't really see the need for most forces. Anywhere else we'd have air superiority and jammers are just loud, bright targets.

If you have a LPI/LPJ module you just put in the radio when you need it then it's much easier to keep out of enemy hands.

Then there is the cost of training for all the different radios. Yes, you could put one man or of a squad in training for 6 months ago he knows the basics about every radio there is. Or you could spend a couple weeks teaching everybody how to work a radio. Or you could have a real in depth training so you have a lot of fully qualified repair technicians.

I'm not exactly sure what your talking about for the radio waveform fielded in the late 90s. That's too late for SINGCARS and too early for JTRS waveforms like SRW and WNW. The capability description seems a bit like SRW (though that is frequency hopped, not FM), which was one of the few limited "successes" that came out of JTRS (the design goals were 100x as many members of the network, 10x the range, 10x the backbone capacity, and the ability for software upgrades to make it compatible with any future radio).

This is a fact of life for Israelis and surrounding Arab countries. I am unsure why we pretend that these negative sentiments about each other do not exist -- they are incredibly widespread in these populations.

Unfortunately in the countries around Israel with whom they have had wars, there is significant anti-Semitism: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3136059.stm

And in Israel there is significant anti-Arab sentiment, which rose significantly as a result of Palestinian terrorist attacks in the early 2000s: https://www.timesofisrael.com/poll-shows-large-swaths-of-isr...

A noob question: how can a small business get to keep the secret ingredient of their success if employees are allowed to jump ship as they wish?

From the employee perspective banning non-competes are ofc the best thing. But this feels terrible if it means that secret sauces of small startups will get copied easily (potentially by bigger players).

His manifesto is a self-congratulatory virtue signal that does more to show off his prejudices that still exist and which he demonstrates zero self awareness of, so it's no surprise that it backfired.

These kinds of manifestos/confessionals on LinkedIn are so completely inappropriate. There's no reason this guy needed to ever publicly say anything on this topic no matter his intentions real or perceived, and it is absolutely predictably that he stepped in it.
> severe underfunding of any scientific institution

NASA is well funded, not underfunded. It receives over three times the funding of ESA by comparison.

Why aren't the Europeans funding their scientific institutions better? Because the combination of soaring entitlement costs and stagnant growth robs them of the necessary tax revenue for that. Which is exactly what's happening in the US, and it's going to get a lot worse yet. The US has a bit less of an excuse, seeing as it could safely cut $200b off of its military. However, that $200b spread around to every squeaky wheel still won't go very far (it's equal to a mere ~2.3% of total government spending), you might be able to fairly boost NASA's budget by $3b per year if you slashed the military. Back in reality, that $200b in cuts should probably be entirely allocated to healthcare, which brings us right back to the central issue of priorities; and the Europeans know that quite well, which is why ESA is poorly funded.
But I don’t think this is nearly as true as you think it is. In Massachusetts, for example, if you were laid off your non-compete may be completely void and unenforceable. In some states the clause is only enforceable if the employee is given consideration for entering into the agreement and continued employment is, by law, not valid consideration. Other states have specific rules about how the non-compete clause must be written or provided to the employee: given X days before signing, notifying of right to counsel, etc. In large multinational corporations with standardized employment documents it’s hard to keep up with all of the changes to local law so the provision in your agreement might be invalid in your jurisdiction on its face.

There are so many factors to consider but so often people just assume defeat and don’t even bother to seek out legal advice. And that’s only to management’s benefit.
Sorry to break it to you, but just because you decided something doesn't work for you, doesn't mean it doesnt work for ANYTHING for ANYONE

I see my confusion. It says "AMD Zen 2", and when I didn't recognize the name of that CPU, I assumed it was just another ARM variation.

In fact, Zen 2 is not the name of a CPU at all, but the name of a technology family of CPUs that are, as you pointed out, x86.
