Note that the mushroom in question has been growing just below the surface for some time. The part we are used to thinking of as a mushroom is, on many species, something like an inflatable flower that is used to release their spores. It is built just below ground over a long time, then inflated at the right moment (rains), and then abandoned while the below-ground main body starts working up the energy to do it all again.
You Probably Shouldn’t Work at a Startup – Every
Keep in mind this unicorn outcome percentage (less than 5%) is from investors who have more knowledge than you, make their living picking startups to bet on, and typically get to make about 20 different startup investments every 2-3 years. You, on the other hand, only get one shot at a time. So if you want to pick a winner, you’d better be a damn good picker. Much better than your average VC.

Let’s hope the peak just gone is the last big spike. In the final analysis I imagine the British public’s _willingness_ to get the jab will be seen as an enormous success factor, on top of the vaccine itself’s efficacy. This willingness merits study. High social trust of the NHS, historic common understanding of vaccines and everyone knowing someone affected by the virus all play their part. As an aside, I believe this to have been the NHS’ finest hour, and in future “the pandemic” will replace “the war” as the lynchpin reference point in time, as it were.
There can be vast difference in the work of two engineers with the same “Java - very good” in their CVs.

> But smartphones are delivering no benefit to mankind. At all.

This statement may be hyperbolic, but at its core is not wrong. Smartphones are very easily a net negative in terms of cost/benefit to society. They're ubiquitous because they're addictive, not because they're so wonderful. Everyone used to smoke too, then we came to see the massive damage cigarettes were doing. Smartphones are just cigarettes for the brain.
>But I think it's better anyway - we sample mating candidates more, we cycle through faster, we can stop and try anew nearly any time until 50, and with some difficulty above.

On the other side, we self report more isolated, depressed, friendless and dissatisfied than ever in the past decades, have record levels of depression prescriptions and opioids, and people get discovered dead after a month or so when somebody complains about the smell...

It appeals to my funny bone; the idea of Pinboard vacuuming up all the dead and dying competitors like he did with Delicious entertains me.
i disagree, that is group-think and unfortunately the status quo right now is to encourage group-think. This is why someone who has nothing to do with something can be responsible for actions of someone else... because they are part of the same "group".
Your right, I forgot about y13 being the last year. Y11 is GCSE year which ends at 16. I’m not sure why the the age brackets don’t go up to Y13, when school ends.
But someone will argue for it, so the warning not to is worthwhile.
That's an interesting limitation I didn't know. Though I haven't really relied on index-only scans much so far, the limitations regarding the visibility map seemed a bit too hard to judge to me. I assume that this works usually, but it's always a bit intimidating when a feature talks about limitations in DB internal data structures you didn't even know existed.

What surprises me here a bit is that this only provides a factor of two improvement. I would have expected the index to be much smaller than the table, though they include a bunch of columns in the index. At that ratio I'd be a bit worried about consuming a serious amount of space for that speedup, but that's impossible to judge without knowing the details. And if the performance is important enough here of course this is still worth it even if the index is large.

Nothing wrong with a freelancer posting the same comment every couple of months, when they’re looking for clients. That’s what these threads are for.

But using more than one account, posting in more than one thread, and doing that every single month, seems spammy. Especially when it’s coming from an agency and not an individual.
I for one am amazed that "video game characters" are stuck in video games and don't come out in forms like:

* an assistant at the drug store that lives on the screen has the image of a body and can make eye contact with you
* a 3-d graphic performer that does a sketch comedy act with a human performer that is reflected into a mirror like "pepper's ghost"

Technologies that are ready to "break through" (like the internet in 1994) often exist at a mature level somewhere but haven't spread for some reason. For instance, this 1971 book

https://www.amazon.com/Information-Machines-Their-Impact-Med...

anticipated that cnn.com would exist around 1981; actually you could read news headlines on Compuserve. France had minitel, other countries had videotext, but there wasn't enough centralization in most places for large-scale online services to hit big until the technology had passed the threshold at which it could have worked by an order of magnitude.

Then it went off like a bomb.
I think a lot of western bright minds would be working on physics, materials, technological breakthroughs if the pay wasn't abysmal and working conditions exploitative.

So you’re saying Linux will crash frequently (1-2 times per day) with an RX 5500 XT?

It shouldn’t be that hard to track someone down with that card to see if that’s true.

Not that I think you’re lying, but you seem convinced that it’s the card’s fault while it could be something else.

Also,

> My experience is that desktop Linux is only tolerable (stable) in a VM or on extremely conservative hardware.

That conclusion is not supported by anything you’ve written. All you can say is that, based on your limited testing (and many assumptions), the RX 5500 XT linux drivers were unstable at some point last year.

For the record, I’ve been using desktop linux (Kubuntu) for the past 6~7 years with an Nvidia GTX 980 with zero issues whatsoever. I use it for both gaming and work, and never had the system crash on me.

I even upgraded the CPU/Mobo/RAM and GPU (originally had a 970) during that time without any issues. No need to reinstall linux or anything ridiculous like that. It just worked as expected.

And when I eventually decide to upgrade again, I’m extremely confident that I wont have to do a reinstall either, or worry about system stability because in my experience, Linux is very stable and has excellent hardware support.
I literally said it isn't all about money. Most people leave because managers[0]

> In general, people leave their jobs because they don’t like their boss, don’t see opportunities for promotion or growth, or are offered a better gig (and often higher pay); these reasons have held steady for years.

And if it is about money, then this is called paying competitively.

But lastly, recognize that if everyone is training employees you're still not really losing out unless you're only hiring entry level employees. Sure, you might be training someone that leaves, but so does your competitor. But if you're only hiring junior engineers then you're probably doing something wrong that's much bigger.

The Expanse (and Star Trek before it, etc) provides the inspiration to make the effort. They aren't the problem. It gnaws at me daily that I'm not working for SpaceX, and only because of science fiction like that. I don't (yet) because of work/life balance first and money second. Maybe I should apply for BO.
No source to back this up, but my guess is that Clojure was driven by the need to interopt with Java so is to not get kicked out of production. This meant absorbing the Java object model. Shipping a language with both Java objects and CLOS and making them both play nice together sounds like a nightmare.

There's not really any "lock-in" with CloudFlare, though. It'd take me a day, at most, to move off of their free services.

They provide me a lot of value right now, for free. If they ever started doing something shady, I trust that people like you would cause enough of an uproar/pushback that I (and other site owners) would find out about said shady activity... and then move off CF.

I'm not as concerned with the what-ifs of what a company could do in the future as I am with their track record so far.
Is this perhaps exactly what "switch" and "restore" are -- the first of that new set? (I think they may be.)
Thank you for the kind reply. I know it's not easy! Believe me I know :)
If this is as good as promised, you should apply for Elon Musk's XPRIZE [1]. Take the $50 million to scale this up faster. Plus, if you win you probably get to talk to Elon. I doubt there is anyone that has better tipps on how to scale and iterate a business than him.

I can one up this. Made an order online and had my contractor go pick up the stuff. I think it wasn't pulled yet so the contractor picked it himself. Few days later I start getting "Your order is ready" e-mails and eventually a cancelled one. Guess they didn't mark it as completed, re-picked it, and then eventually refunded the order when it wasn't picked out.

Though typing this all out it does occur to me that maybe my contractor just walked out with all the stuff.
Here is an example that went with the trends and destroyed the iconic mark of the Library of Congress: https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/new_log...

No, not close enough at all!

They show that willpower comes and goes for many reasons, but it is not a limited resource. You can't "use it up" in the morning, and thinking that way will lead you to actually having less willpower in the evenings even though you could have plenty!
I confess that 'type' sounds to me like the sort of thing that's going to appear in a WHERE clause often enough that I might as well make an enum for it and materialise that out on insert whether by trigger or otherwise.

Neat trick for the meantime though, I'm sure making a schema change like the one I'm thinking of would be a colossal pain in the buttocks if decided late in the run up to shipping a feature.
Thanks that answered my question.
Get on with a contracting firm. They will place you on a dev project and have you coding in no time.

A lot of companies are not allowed to interview the contractors (since they are not employees) and the contract firms can swap anyone into a spot after they get the contract signed. (Granted there is a lot of wink and nod stuff that goes on)

Horrid pay, not allowed to say you worked for (GE, Microsoft, whoever...) and crap benefits but you get real world experience and may even get lucky. You can say..."while at Microsoft I..."
> Types (in a reasonable static type system, not, say, C) are never wrong.

Oh man. This is the fundamental disagreement. Sure, you can have a type system that is never wrong in its own little world. But, that's not the problem. A lot of us are making a living mapping real world problems into software solutions. If that mapping is messed up (and it always is to some degree) then the formal correctness of the type system doesn't matter at all. It's like you got the wrong answer really, really right.
I have a second-hand Lenovo X1 Carbon laptop and I've been very impressed with the build quality (even though my previous laptop was a Macbook so my standards were already quite high). It is also well specced technically, with everything I wanted e.g. USB-C power charging, decent CPU and a GPU easily capable of playing my favourite games. I can easily see myself using this machine for several years at least. Really happy with my decision to go with Lenovo.

This was a good read but the section on cars is not right. They are a special kind of asset in that they depreciate incredibly fast, which makes leasing not so much of a bad proposition. In places where interest rates are low, you might end up spending a mere 10-20% more, and in turn you don’t have to deal with insurance, maintenance or selling it at the end of the period.
On the other hand, tools tend to be fast to teach and pick up relative to fundamentals. Most companies have rough around the edges tooling that a candidate either wouldn’t know about or need a couple weeks to get productive in.
Indeed, one of the more interesting ideas I've been considering is how does society think about the delayed effects on mental health and attention deficit. For example, one might argue maybe Netflix is easier to moderate at the level of a family or community, like having parental locks on time spent on quality content. But what do you do with Internet Porn? There is enough evidence that novelty stimulation has detrimental effects. For either scenario, the internet has made it easier to consume more and at a faster rate, but we don't have a quick and easy mechanism to talk about these things and develop cultural practices. One of the more interesting ideas for me is finding that balance between liberal individual right to choice and recognizing all systems including human society is a feedback loop and drifts into failure (either expanding freedoms or curbing them).

> During the 1948 Palestine war, Jewish troops ethnically cleansed the territory that became the State of Israel of Arab Palestinians. The land and property owned by those Arab Palestinians was confiscated by the state and handed out to Jewish immigrants.

And this is why there is so many Arabs living happily in Israel today. /s

Quite on the contrary I've read that Israel asked Arabs to stay in Israel during the 1948 war - for selfish reasons - but still.

Surrounding Arab countries asked Arabs in Israel to leave temporarily to make "shoveling the Jews into the ocean" easier. Those who left "temporarily" are the ancestors of those who live in refugee camps today. Those who stayed are the ancestors of Arabs living good lives in Israel today. More or less.

edit: Confiscating the homes of those who left to make it simpler to wipe you into the sea is a bit different than bulk killing people (genocide) and taking their homes. endedit.

Also remember that far more Jews were forced out of surrounding countries and into Israel than Arabs out of Israel.

If Arabs from what is today Israel should get their homes back I suppose Jews should get their homes and shops back in Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq etc?

edit: Or can we finally accept that it was botched by UN and actively sabotaged by neigbouring countries? That the sad fate of the Arabs from Israel is less the fault of Israelis and that the ones to blame are neighbor Arab states and the UN? end edit

If any of this is news to anyone just think how much more biased news organizations hide from you.

Everyone should start reading.

PS: I'm not saying Israelis are innocent. I'm saying that media has massively misrepresented the situation for a few decades, selectively presented only the things that makes Israel look bad.

Many of them are true, but as shown above the full story is a bit more nuanced...
I was going to download your browser (from https://browser.kagi.com/), but I realized 1) There is no Windows option, and 2) It requires me to submit a great deal of information via a Google Form before I can download.

Honestly, this is not what I expected from the "privacy respecting, zero-telemetry, browser" that you've been heralding here.

The Google Form alone is far more alarming than Brave's P3A (which is not connected to any Google Account, doesn't feed the data to a third-party, restricts user answers to category/range values, breaks up and temporally offsets delivery of feedback to prevent fingerprinting, etc.).
> And that was a good thing!

The article literally questions that conclusion.

"Were those the good old days? It’s tough to say."

It's as if there were advantages and disadvantages. It's easy to view the past as "good" but the reality, as presented in this article, was really a mixed bag.
