Wow mostly unrelated, I had no idea that _Amanita Muscara_ was considered to be psychoactive (usually is described as poisinous in field guides). Also frequently considered to be edible (after treatment) in some places. Fascinating!

(for those unfamiliar, the amanita genus as a whole contains a variety of extremely toxic mushrooms and is often avoided by novice edible collectors for that reason)

Toward expanding the explanation, this is why I separated them. Leadership is neither sufficient or necessary for managers - as evidenced by the survival of every large organization. Management skill is neither sufficient or necessary for leadership, because leadership is less a thing than it is just the effect of being followed. I'm a big advocate of the necessity of charisma and inspiration, but crappy managers often think of themselves as leaders as a substitute and an excuse for failure, and leaders often don't accept responsibility for creating and managing the value feedback loop that sustains their teams - also as a substitute and an excuse for failure. I've reckoned with both, and they're hard to face, but well worth it. Somewhere between these poles is truth, and the art of managing and leading that I think you're referencing is technique applied to the more fundamental role differences I was implying.
Wow looks great. This fell off my radar for a bit, looking pretty nice now. Not gonna lie, having Gnome + Flatpak on Ubuntu LTS base already puts it near the top of my list, the styling and added usability features puts it over the top.

Ubuntu LTS base is also great for developers, as it seems most cloud images these days are just that. I've tried installing/building tools on other distros that I like more than Ubuntu but they always seem to use wonky options, libraries that are too old/new or in strange places, and I end up back at Ubuntu.

My opinion is that we need to move to four day work weeks and each day should have six working hours. Knowledge workers are wasting their lives at work when they could get the same amount done in fewer hours.
I dunno. Most of these people probably aren't moving to the deeply red, shithole regions of these states. They're moving to the suburbs of purple areas like Charlotte or Charleston.

I've long thought that living in a blue city in a red state provides a pretty good balance.

Hmm, VNC would normally be the way to handle that on Linux? If you have a session going and fire up your VNC server of choice, you should be able to connect to it from another machine (I can't say I do that much personally, though I did set up a little fanless box as dashboard kiosk that way for my team a while back).

There have been massive advancements in insulin over the past couple of decades. Today's long acting and short acting insulins are a massive improvement over the older kinds. The price of insulin in the US is a disaster (when not covered by insurance), but otherwise the quality of insulin treatment is better than it's ever been.

Does the font scaler in Firefox help? I actually switched to Firefox mobile several months ago because that finally resolved my issues with browsing i.reddit.com on Firefox. Chrome would just get the font scaling right, Firefox wouldn't before the major engine change.

I am annoyed that Firefox mobile tabs seem to have to refresh every single time I "tab out". I'm stubbornly sticking to it because of addons though (Dark Reader and uBlock).
Sure, there are a lot of things I'd do for $10m so long as they're legal and not unduly dangerous. For maybe a year. Of course, that option isn't really on the table most of the time.
It sounds like the commenter knows SQL, so it’s not like they want to avoid learning it. I can only guess, but more likely they dislike the fact that you have to represent your raw queries etc safely as a string in your application’s language - which isn’t hard but it does look a little ungainly and tends not to scale too well.

On a serious note, that's the reason why private EOD is quite busy in Germany. And the reason why Baltic Navy mine divers are among the best in the world, apparently these guys see more live WW1+2 mines in 6 months of training than US Navy divers in their whole career. Might be a tad exaggerated, but the Baltic sea is among the heaviest mined ones on the planet.
I would argue that “not engaged” isn’t the worst thing in the world. The expectation that we devote our lives to work is one of the biggest things that dissolved during the pandemic. I am far less engaged at my job than I have been in years, which actually makes me better at it because I’m almost never stressed out anymore.

I'm not an expert, but have a lot of exposure to this through my kiddo who is a type-1 (insulin deficient) diabetic. This could represent a step function change in her therapy.

Only for folks using the latest and greatest in closed-loop pump therapy is there even an approximation of the pancreas function to elevate insulin levels in response to elevated blood glucose levels, and even then its too slow to be effective. Diabetics that want to closely manage their blood glucose levels have to carefully plan how they eat and how active they are, modulo sickness, periods/etc.

If it was possible to have a latent insulin bolus floating around the bloodstream that could react to gluecose directly, it could provide an important buffer and possibly even a wonderfully passive approach to therapy vs. the ridiculous dance that patients undergo today.

Not disagreeing but do keep in mind that "sell ads" include various industries and businesses that contribute to the economy. Even with word of mouth and SEO traffic, 40+% of our total visitors were from ads. It's a legitimate way of reaching your target audience who wouldn't otherwise hear about you. This could make or break some businesses.
I mean, I'm not these companies and I don't know the exact formula, but you'd be looking at things like the attrition rate, the cost of hiring, the cost of raises but also the value of wages across the whole market. There's some low-key collusion going on for sure (not necessarily outright collusion although some firms have been caught doing that too, but multiple firms all employing the same strategy keeps wages low for everyone). Now obviously developers do have enough leverage that they earn more than many professions, but it's obvious that many are under-valued.

If it truly were more expensive to hire than to give raises, more firms would be giving raises.
> It makes some good points in that the amount of data it would take to approximate it all seems far too large

The article's way of estimating this is absurd, seemingly relying on the idea that a model can't generalise and must see every possible variation of a sentence:

> If we add to the semantic differences all the minor syntactic differences to the above pattern (say changing ‘because’ to ‘although’ — which also changes the correct referent to “it”) then a rough calculation tells us a ML/Data-driven system would need to see something like 40,000,000 variations of the above

> But if it were accurate, wouldn't companies spend more effort on retention and engagement over hiring?

Retention and engagement are hard, complicated problems. The mindset that employees are interchangeable cogs with no real needs of their own—particularly psychological needs that have anything to do with the workplace—is still a very strong one in every sector of the American workplace. Even for those companies where management, as a whole, does genuinely understand that it benefits everyone to have engaged employees, if you ask 10 people "how do you keep employees engaged?" you'll get 12 different answers.

We're still just a few steps away from tenant farmers, sweatshops, and company towns. The fact that there's research that shows spending on retention is massively more effective than spending on hiring will take generations more to actually catch on amongst the American executive class...unless we can manage to pull together a serious union renaissance and demand the better conditions that will actually help everyone.

No; I'm from South America. In fact I was mentally comparing MX+USA with the situation here, it depends a lot on the specific region but usually there's a plurality of staple carbs (wheat, rice, potato, corn, yucca...). Cattle food, sugar and renewable fuel are taken up by other crops (soy and sugar cane).

>I would bet those don’t even form a plurality of starchy carb sources in the American diet

That's good. I was mildly concerned about the situation because others mentioned corn farms subsidised by the government - relying too much on them for food would be risky, in the case of a plague.
This surely depends on the university and the course. At mine (admittedly for a maths degree) the start of the course involved quickly running through the contents of the A-level FP3 maths module (which the degree did not technically require) in about two lectures as well as jumping straight into topics that weren’t very relevant to school maths (group theory and a first “set theory/welcome to proofs” course which both quickly became hard).

Students doing physics seemed to get reasonable physics maths (e.g. vector calculus things like surface integrals and Green’s theorem) without spending lots of time revising school maths.

I don’t know what the computer scientists got but I got the impression that the university preferred applicants who were good at maths to those who were good at programming. Though maybe they needed help with asymptotics: U.K. school maths doesn’t cover limits and it is hard to define big O if you don’t know the definition of a limit.
I thought Chicago was doing well recently, at least the last several years I recall it always being mentioned positively as having the amenities of larger cities without the costs.

The main things keeping me from using Linux as a daily driver are:

1) My personal desktop has Windows for games

2) My laptops (personal and work) are Macs because Apple simply makes the best laptops

When I've dual-booted in the past it's been a huge pain, and I didn't end up bothering to switch to Linux very often in practice anyway. Linux laptops exist, but they tend to be spotty in terms of build-quality and power. Gaming on Linux can technically be done, but I don't want my expensive machine to be unable to play some things because of the OS.

There are lots of little things, most of which could be overcome with effort, but these days I'd rather use my devices than tinker with them most of the time.

I guess I just wish I had an excuse to use something like Elementary or PopOS. I would if I had an a) desktop that b) was mainly for projects. But alas, I don't.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if the data behind large tech companies becoming remote friendly is that it is largely a wash.

You'll have people who are more productive working from home and some of them will even do more work for the company [as opposed to quietly working half as many hours while getting just as much done]. You'll have others who are less productive. Some of them will also work more hours to make up for at least some of their lost productivity.

Given that companies are now open to it, I think we can infer that WFH productivity is no lower than 80-90% of WFO productivity, averaged across the workforce. Whether WFH = 90%, 100% or 110% WFO productivity, I couldn't guess.
Why wouldn’t another producer undercut them in that case, winning the lower end share of the market?

That's exactly the question that is in the back of my head the past few days.

Computer / iMac? Uh, well, having used Linux on the desktop (various distros) for years already, this won't be as much of a problem.

Something that gives me pause is how well Mint runs on some brick-ish HP laptop from around 2012, just replaced the HDD with SSD. It just feels way snappier compared to my fully decked out late 2017 iMac 5k with 64GB RAM, 4,2Ghz.

I'll be missing the deep integration between iPhone, Watch - but other than that not much probably.

But the iPhone itself? That is going to be tough.

Been an iPhone user since the 3G, iOS 2.0 (2.01 shortly afterwards) and always liked the devices, the clarity of the OS (though sometimes it fell short regarding having all the bells and whistles, early on i've solved that via Jailbreaking).

So, no - i don't immediately have an answer. Ideally, there would be something akin to the polish of a modern Linux OS on a decently powered phone, in a nice hardware package.

I dread running Android :(

Cameras & surveillance are a necessity for vacation rentals. People complain about privacy but how would the property manager know that the garbage are placed properly for pickup? Many counties now have automated garbage trucks that won't pickup garbage if the angle or placement is not correct

Same for swimming pool or lawn maintenance. The person renting would be the first to demand a refund if the swimming pool has a strange color/odor or if the garbage is overflowing. The property manager can do a daily video check and ask for pool maintenance person to do a check if the water doesn't look good.

Finally, many vacation homes have their own dedicated water systems. Its perfectly possible that the water source can only cater to 6 adult, or that the septic system can dispose for only a max number of people. If the renter comes with a big group, then there will be no water, or the septic system will overflow and clog. Again, in those cases, the group renting will be the first to complain and ask for refunds. So it is important to check via a camera the number of guests coming and making sure it is below the max number of people that the property can accomodate.
A port is a destination. The gateway is the program listening on this port and rerouting requests elsewhere. Usually after adjusting for something or simplifying talking to old/new equipment/services. Internet is just one way of communication. Often a gateway enables talking between different communication ways.
Similar to how smokers actually cost the healthcare system less, since they get cancer early and die closer to retirement age, which is cheap compared to long term care spanning an extra decade or two before a major illness sets in.
Martin, is that you?
That is a fair point. My counter point would be that there are other heavy machinery that you do not need to get special permission to own that can be used in the same capacity. Large trucks, bulldozers, excavators. Those can also be easily stolen to commit crimes as well, yet are not.

Also this particular tank, while they talk about it being used to remove snow at some point also seemed to be fairly hard to move.

>It took about 20 soldiers almost nine hours to extract the Panther tank - which was without its tracks - from the property.

Unless they were taking very special care not to damage other property, it does not seem like it would have been easily stolen.
There are different kinds of management. If we're talking about people management, you'll need to learn how to excel at emotional intelligence, understanding your direct reports on a personal level in order to motivate and monitor them. If we're talking about technical management, you'll need to know how to inspire people, remove blockers, mentor, and jump into code when needed, all while reporting upward.

For many, this is a very challenging transition. But I tell everyone under 30, you need to learn management skills before 40 so you can make the transition as early as possible. Talent eventually will side with younger people.

Interesting tidbit regarding Gallup: the Fortune 500 company I work for manipulates our surveys by asking general questions about the company and then holding the supervisors accountable for the results even if all of the questions are way out of their control. So they leverage the the employee-supervisor relationship to make it seem like there is more happiness and less discontent.

That being said, I find it hard to believe my company is the only one doing that, I even called Gallup about it and they did not seem to care. At all.

Imagine what the real numbers look like.
The argument that Google is actually a bad name... Kind of cuts the argument heavily. I'd assume Kleenex hits the bad points, as well... Xerox?

Now, if the point is that the name can be bad, but that it likely won't impact success, I can agree with that. Reminds me of the penny arcade about the Wii.

A few things:

1) Just like in Sales, on average it is cheaper _and_ marginally more profitable to retain an employee than to recruit a new one. This includes cost to recruit, interview, onboard, etc.

2) The exceptions here that throw off the average are those companies with strong inbound hiring pipelines (ex: Amazon will never have a shortage of applicants) that reduce the costs of recruiting + interviewing, and retaining high performers (e.g.: the cost of losing an upper-decile performer is much more significant.)
Yep, things like that. I would at least appreciate adding a disclaimer, that this behaviour might be a symptom of some other issues for example at school.
