Just discovered Twitter doesn't let you copy a link to a retweet reference D:, but I discovered this on https://twitter.com/whitequark/ 's timeline.
Have you looked at TipTap 2? Sounds like it might fit the bill for you!
In Flanders, people think they speak much better English than they do. Janet and janet are pronounced differently.
Not qualified enough for intramuscular injections and paperwork? It doesn't seem likely.
Fancy injectors might have advantages: less expensive, more expensive (in a corrupt enough setup), more compact, faster to use, physically or chemically better, but novelty itself makes them less easy to use.
I don't know about cesspits & idiots, but a little smell can develop that does tend to bring the intellectual level toward the below-average rather than above.

For those that want to push downward, the present system highly leverages their ability to do so simply through the process or habit of frequent downvoting.

If there is any perception that there was a time when there was very little detectable smell by comparison, it would be good to assess the average downvote-per-user rate then, and compare it to today's figure.

Then measure each user along this scale, perhaps including a time component, or relative to activity in some way.

Allowing for a reasonable standard deviation, it might be better if frequent downvoters past a certain range had the weight of each downvote normalized and see what happens.

This could possibly also be tuned to achieve a target level of discourse relative to a previously-considered-desirable data point in time.

Alternatively, users alone appear theoretically able to overcome the issue if there was a widespread concerted or random effort to frequently upvote the comments or postings seen descending, whether fully deserved or not, keeping them at least neutral without having a negative effect on the commenter's rating.

Mathematically a small uptick in "compensatory upvoting" habits among average users could bring the target way up as long as the overly-frequent downvoters are in the vast minority.

Then when there is true downward consensus it will still always drop through, but those who participate mainly to downvote will have less negative impact.

The only thing worse than the "nattering nabobs of negativity" are the non-nattering nabobs of even worse negativity.
I would prefer a case stated vaguely but with empathy and understanding. It encourages discussion and effective conversation.
I wasn’t sold before, but I think you’ve just sold me on it.
You would be amazed how many people wouldn't feel a bit embarrassed taking food from a food bank even though they're not poor.

I assume that some would even do it just to save some money.

Then when you take into consideration that there are organized beggars and such, I believe they would also take food and try to resell it, etc.

As you say, it doesn't seem very German, so I would bet that there probably was a reason to include the checks.
> Families don’t do that.

Families absolutely do that, and this was and is normalised in various contexts e.g. farm families, or older (and now fundie) families where the oldest are tasked with caring for the youngest.

Lots of families are absolute shit, in a way which exactly matches the article:

> Recently, however, a friend in my department was told she would not receive a promotion because she is not a “team player.” When pressed, HR and her supervisor mentioned her absence from department-bonding activities.

Not being there for a family reunion / holiday / birthday leading to long-term grudges with emotional and financial consequences? Yep. It doesn't take much (or many) for family politics to be worse than office politics, with devastating consequences to some.
> The asker’s bosses are using “family” as an excuse to justify working longer hours. Families don’t do that.

...are you sure?
I mean it’s a typo.

Look up “composting”.

I was just joking, the article is excellent.
Does DuckDuckGo have a bang for this yet?
I’m exactly the same as the person in the article. I’m introverted and don’t enjoy participating in activities with more than a couple of people. I have no problem doing it - I just don’t like to. It seems gender or race can’t be questioned in the work place but the way I like to socially interact with others can be and used against me (like in the article).

I think managers etc get a bit carried away with the whole family idea thing. It can be used like a weapon to convince people to work longer to help their ‘family members’ with their work. But who gave them too much work in the first place?
I'm currently in a situation where I consider quitting after almost 8 years working with really good people. But the company itself has some structural problems that we, as a small team, cannot change (as in "upper management doesn't see the problem"). And I have enough of this. As I don't have many people around me outside work, I feel hesitant to "leave my family behind".
There might be some level of showmanship involved, but Tesla isn't selling those things, it is using them. Quite a different situation in comparison to a random startup which tries to convince investors to finance their products.
Germany is not the richest county in the EU. We may, as a country, be the richest, but only because we have the largest population. Per capita wealth is in the upper third of the EU.

Building "code" and bureaucracy around it seems to be some kind of weird cult. I bet in this day and age it is actually quite cheap to build, if you look at what costs in term of materials and actual wages of construction workers. Everything else around it is inflated to hell on other hand.
The link worked fine for me in Firefox without being signed in. Went straight to the first Tweet, showed another, and gave a link to continue reading the thread.
Nope. Constitutional amendments proposed by voters require simple majority to pass, 50% + 1. That is, imho, the single largest flaw in California's initiative process (which I'm otherwise generally a fan of).
I couldn't find the effectiveness of Covishield against Delta but for Covaxin the claimed efficacy is in the same ballpark at 65%. So this is not bad at all.

This touches on something very difficult when it comes to families: if you are lucky you end up with one that gives you a happy childhood. If you're super lucky that same family turn out to be the most supportive and fun people in you adult life. Most people simply aren't that super lucky, mostly because it actually requires lots and lots of conscience work across generations.
A long time ago i worked for a medium sized company where the boss constantly claimed that 'we are a family'...

It turned out he was right with his 'family' claim, albeit more in a 'The Godfather' sense
> That said: Personally, I do want my coworkers and I to be something akin to a family. If I’m going to spend around a third of my life working, I want to do it with a group of people I like and care about.

I find that admirable, but having gone through a number of different workplaces in the last 6 years, also very naive.

Out of the hundreds of colleagues I had, I would voluntarily choose to talk to maybe 3 of them.

I don't think I find 97% of people I encounter in general disagreeable, in my experience Software Engineering just has loads and loads of "that guy"s. You know, the ones you try to avoid at parties. Except that's most of them, so you don't show up to the parties in the first place.
I think your premise is greatly flawed. The risk from getting a little piece of Covid mRNA is infinitesimal compared to the risk of getting Covid and having the whole genome replicated, all the proteins, and actually maybe dying to Covid or suffering long Covid after.

I don’t know of any risks that have been shown to be associated with the vaccine.

One important note is that when comparing against their average request rate is that due to the day and night cycle they need about twice the average capacity to serve requests near the user. That being said this is a very impressive attack and sill requires good infrastructure to absorb it.
I think we're judging them against what they claimed they would have delivered several years ago by now aren't we?

This is the problem, a little bit of driver assist is great, Tesla are doing a great job. So are Volvo. The difference is that Volvo aren't making grandiose claims.
If we ever use reversible computing it won't look anything like this Tesla stuff, that's for sure.
> "Hey, we're experts, we understand this problem, you aren't even solving the right problem" and so far, they seem basically correct. The boring company could completely succeed at its goal, and it wouldn't matter.

A lot of experts in cars and rockets claimed that Tesla and SpaceX are terrible ideas and they were proved wrong many times. Incumbents are too often dismissive of new ideas.

Many of the arguments against the boring company are "social arguments" from people who are ideologically committed to bikes and public transport. They have very little to do with whether it is possible to build cheaper tunnels.
I believe The data from Israel was that Pfizer was 64% effective Against symptomatic delta variant.
No, bad for me. You added one point, four times, your one point has substance: you actually worked for the same company, and did do the phone transfer, and it was hassle free. And, you answered my direct question we just disagree about the substantive motivations to separate work and personal devices. I agree with the original poster, it's too much liability and personally invasive.

> Humans luckily have a very useful set of biofeedback mechanisms that effortless tell you if food is healthy or not, but most people ignore these systems by eating mindlessly and have damaged these systems through poor diet.

Why do unhealthy things taste great then? Why would our natural biofeedback be well tuned to modern lifestyles where an abundance of food is the new norm?

> I'm really not sure what a 'big win' in calorie counting even is.

I mean getting people to realise what surprise foods they're eating that are wiping out their calorie target for the day so they can replace these foods with something more healthy e.g. people drinking 1000 calories of coffee drinks or 2000 calorie pizzas and not realising how many calories they're consuming are never going to lose weight.

> The green vegetables rule is about eating more green vegetables.

Why? So no sweet or white potato, eggplant, carrot, red peppers, cauliflower, tomato, beetroot, red cabbage?

> One of the problems with the oil prohibition is that it discourages people from eating sauteed vegetables, which are probably one of the best things you can eat.

I'm not saying never use oil but you can fry without oil, bake, boil, steam, slow cook, pressure cook and microwave. You don't need oil to cook lots of things. Why not deep fry if you shouldn't be concerned with oil and rely on biofeedback?
DNA is remarkably stable. I’m not sure if it’s true, but I’ve heard reports of separating it from proteins by boiling the stuff, which will certainly destroy the proteins but apparently leaves DNA largely intact.

The second it’s inside your body the enzymes in your bloodstream will start tearing it apart, but that’s also true for practically anything else you can inject. Until then, refrigeration is far more than enough.
You can have that now. That's now that the parent was hoping for.
The prices are what people on mass are agreeing to pay. There isn't a land lord conspiracy raising the rent.

Should some third party decide this instead? Should this apply to to every transaction, not just rents? Instead, in a free market people make decisions on their own, do they want to live close to town where it's expensive or would they prefer out of town where it's cheaper etc. Having some third party decide prices sounds reasonable at first but the freedom it removes is huge. Also price fixing always has the same impact. Reduced supply.
Attacks like these are a huge threat to internet freedom. There are very few companies that can handle attacks like this, creating another source of centralization.
NP. I just want to note I never mentioned the state with regards to the food banks.
I was born in Germany and I literally can't tell if you're joking.

During the war (and still for a significant time after it!) you literally had to hand your personal ration booklet over to a merchant who'd stamp your "quarter pound of butter", hand you the butter and your ration book back.

It's the most German system I could think of. Everyone's grandparents used it, and everyone's parents probably heard about it. I find it baffling that you consider it baffling.

Last jab I got I was sitting and waiting and I was looking around distracted and suddenly I felt the nurse was pushing the cotton already. She had injected me and I didn't feel anything at all. How are needles painful?
OptiTrack is marker based. Zozosuit could have been a “poor man’s” alternative but not enough numbers of hackers got it apparently. Nevertheless there’s always Kinect, and ML-based markerless approaches looks interesting as well, wonder which ones are popular these days.

It's a problem if your IDE is designed to work only with gcc. It's not a problem, if it could work with any compiler and gcc is just one of the options.
Absence of healthy boundaries has nothing to do with "family".
Sure. Except that frauds actually exist, not everyone accused of fraud is just a victim of envy.

Its quite telling that your quote is about a singer, where talent is quite subjective. In technology, things can be a bit more objective.

People who pointed out that it's physically impossible to make all the measurements from a single drop of blood Theranos claimed to make weren't haters, and people who point out the physical problems with Hyperloop and the Boring tunnels aren't "haters" either.

Also, it might be worth remembering that whatever else Musk is, he is also a fraudster. He intentionally lied, more than once, about the liquidity of Tesla, the product Tesla will deliver in the short term, and don't forget about the time where he told the public that Tesla was going public at $420 per share.
Coaxin is a transitional vaccine already approved in India (I took it). But yes they haven’t got EUA in US and WHO still hasn’t approved it yet.

One place I worked did the whole "family" thing... right up until they unceremoneously laid me off without warning to save their bottom line.
OK, but the question was, do you have any samples?

Failing to answer such a simple direct question makes me question your ability to custom write a post to a specific audience.
I volunteer for a "Tafel" in the center of Munich for about four months now, and here the main issue is related to immigrants. I can state with confidence that about 19 out of 20 people coming there have an arab background, and the vast majority have more than 7, sometimes even 10, people in total in their household. And you can see from the cards they need to show, that most of them are children.

Many of the migrant kids I've met can't speak any German. Even kids that are already 10 years old. Thus I believe this situation will escalate even further in the future, as it will be very hard for these kids to get a proper education without the needed language skills.

It makes you feel really bad to see them growing up in such an environment without much chance for a better life. But ultimately this is due to their parents decision to have so many kids, even if they can't afford simple food.
If humans are to find a “path” off of earth, it won’t be en masse. Space travel is incredibly expensive. Only a small number of pioneering humans (and associated spacecraft) would need to get to wherever we would be going, and then nature would have to take its course. The rest of us are going to make the best of it here on earth.
> During the war

Exactly - I thought German's extreme distrust of things like credit cards, identity checks, surveillance, etc, was a strong reaction against that part of their history?
If you go down this route, your spouse needs to have a real understanding of what it means and she has to be onboard.

You also need to have an agreement on what trade offs you’re both willing to make, and for how long.
I hadn’t even thought of the physics constraints on the energy needed. This is a truly ridiculous goalpost he has set unless he has developed the arc reactor to put in its chest.
> Also, people dealing with shitty compensation for years or staying at the same job, because they are afraid that no one else will want them or that they aren't worth 3x the compensation they have today.

Well, perhaps it’s just that tech interviews are really elitist these days.
Fun fact:
I shared this article on Facebook just now, and when I pressed "post", FB showed me an auto popup allowing to enable charity contributions via my post...
The whole point that what we need is Political Change rather than charity seems to be a far, far concept...
Lately I have found myself more willing to pay for certain apps and subscriptions in exchange for ad free experiences. I feel like it’s a more honest transaction. That said, I can’t afford to pay for everything I use online in a given day, so it’s not necessarily a macro solution. Also, I’d like to be able to expect that paying for a subscription would also mean a service stops tracking me to oblivion, but like you said that’s still happening.
> Larry Page told Steve Jobs in 2010 that "There will always be places we compete, and places where we cooperate."

Looks like it’s exactly the meritocracies Google and Apple claim to be, nothing monopoly-like to be found here... /s
What is a mod ?
One tip I picked up a while back is to be aware of the number of `it`s and other pronouns used. I realized that when my explanation were getting lengthy, I was tempted to avoid duplication by referring to previously mentioned nouns as `it`s, `they`s etc. This practice led to some very confusing sentences, where each `it` meant a different thing.

My explanations got noticeably clearer once I started replacing the pronouns with whatever they would refer to instead. Sometimes I also add an additional noun ("this practice") to make the pronoun clearer.

I still overuse pronouns sometimes, but when I want to be extra sure my point gets across, I'm trying to limit them as much as I can.
We have here smoking gun evidence that both Google and Apple themselves see themselves as a monopoly, see them commenting about how they "essentially function as one company", yet I absolutely guarantee we will get a torrent of comments denying that in this thread, I am sure with a lot of smug pasting of dictionary entries.
I had an employer that was saying things like, "This is how it works everywhere" when I complained about things. I ended up finding a website that compared abusive workplace behavior to abusive relationships, and I agreed with it... And still I stayed there until they screwed me on a raise, asking me if I could "wait until next year?"

I started looking after that and got a 40% pay raise starting out at the new job.

I knew what I was worth, and I still stayed. It's not just about not knowing what you're worth or thinking nobody else would want you. Sometimes it's about not wanting to deal with the unknown.

I absolutely encourage people who haven't gotten significant raises each year to look at other jobs. You're almost certainly underpaid, unless you're a senior dev. In which case you're merely probably underpaid.

That said, I've been here for 10 years and I'm happy. I'm a big fish in a small pond, and I have incredible job security, and I work the 40 hours that I want to. I know I could earn more, but now I value the rest of that more.
Functions That Make Reading Python Code Easier
It’s not naive. I’ve found a place where I genuinely like and care for my coworkers. From personal experience, it is definitely worth the effort of looking for such a job.
As an outsider planning to eventually learn Go, I have two questions:

1. what's "Go tip"?

2. does this allow us to approximate when it could make it to one of Go's stable releases? I guesstimate it's something that would land not sooner than within a year, right?
The big-load anti-pattern
To design your own IC has at the same time become extremely complex and very approachable, if you have the money for it.

A multi-billion transistor CPU is an insanely complex product, there are multiple layers coming together to make it possible. The base layer is the foundry, here TSMC, which does the manufacturing and provides reference design kits. They contain for example the blueprints for transistors and other electrical components. For a digital chips like processors, they are usually used as they come from the foundry.

Next is a layer of software which enables the chip designs, provided by the big EDA companies. This is a rather huge layer, enabling the basic designs on the one side, but also including all kind of simulation and verification tools. And quite some engineering knowledge comes along with it.

So if you want to start designing your own CPU, you still need good engineers who know what they are doing, but large parts of the whole "stack" can and have to bought from the vendors listed above. This enables the quick entries of companies into the market, who were not traditional chip design houses.
> The judge that struck down Prop 22 listed its seven-eighths hurdle as one of the provisions that made Prop 22 unconstitutional.

As comex notes, this is untrue. To the extent the judge considers the seven-eighths hurdle at all (which he does, but not in the significant part of the opinion), it is only to note that there's no problem with it.

No, I don't want _tacked on_ generics.

What languages in your opinion have good, non-tacked-on generics? Are they generally better than other languages?

Here are some pretty successful languages that gained generics after maturity: C++, Java, C#, TypeScript (based on JavaScript), Objective-C, even Python.
