Truth is, if you want/plan to join any elite/prestigious part of the workforce, there's almost zero room for soul seeking in college. One of the few caveats being that you went to some extremely prestigious school to begin with (Ivies, OxBridge, and similar), and didn't completely fuck up your grades.

Companies are a bit more lenient toward those, and don't really care whether you studied art history, or mathematics. If you're alumni from those types of schools, you (or your parents) probably planned your future from pretty early on anyway.

But for the rest - those that study at run of the mill schools - you really need to work hard, and having done research on what will yield the highest ROI.

Every year you see senior students that suddenly discover elite companies and sectors like tech, finance, consulting, etc. and scramble to get a foot inside, only to find out that it's too late.

Yeah, it's too bad that for most, those 4 or 5 years of college will more or less decide your professional future. At least, it will close a lot of doors.
that's because banking isn't a free market at all, it's tightly regulated.
I think your points are valid, I see them as orthogonal to my comments. Just one remark: If part of the sodium intake is replaced with potassium, then chloride should be fine.

I guess you’ve never sat in on a usability research study? Average users have way WAY more issues than you are implying.
I've had good experiences with PQ (https://pypi.org/project/pq/). Any event that generates a notification triggers adds an entry to the queue. Worker processes get entries from the queue. The queue is stored as another table in your database whose structure and content is managed by PQ, though you can always read/write to it if you want. PQ handles the concurrency.
Modern computers and peripherals tend to come with a lot of RGB lighting that's mostly there to boost performance, but could ideally be used to expose this kind of background information.

Can you please describe the situation? Are you saying someone asked a question in English and got a reply in German? Or are you saying there was an office with 20 German-speaking employees and one English speaking one and then much of the informal talk was in German? It‘s true, it‘s like that. And that‘s not xenophobic. It may be impolite, depending on the situation. It‘s not specific to Germany as anyone working in other places in Europe knows.

Some people don‘t talk English because they lack confidence.

It's not transferable 1:1, some college / university are not even recognized abroad. I had a friend of mine from Thailand that couldn't get recognized her master degree in marketing in an European country.

Yes, Colorado voting is secure, and yes, a conspiracy theorist, who happens to be Mesa County's Clerk and Recorder, is completely to blame for the security breech. What you're leaving out is that because the election didn't turn out the way the Clerk wanted, she's muddying the waters and making further fair elections far more difficult.
> reunion
reunion of what? China never owned Taiwan to begin with. China had presence in Taiwan but failed to control the country for 200 years. In 1887 after 200 years, one day they were like 'oh, lets call Taiwan a Provence", then when Japan invaded they were like "oh, yeah, no we don't want it" and bailed on Taiwan.

When Japan left, they signed over Taiwan to the ROC, not to the PRC. So China and the PRC have no claim over Taiwan to begin with.

Seriously, China's claim is the equivalent of a bunch of Americans setting up home in a city in Canada, then 200 years later saying "lets call Canada a State of America". Despite the fact that Americans never ruled in the country to any extent.
> However they are working on having their own battery and battery factory design.

There's no realistic plan for them to get off of Panasonic's cells. They have a purchase agreement, and Panasonic owns half the Nevada Gigafactory.

They have to wait for Panasonic to sell their half of the Gigafactory back to them, during which they'd not have any cell production going on. They basically need to build another US-factory before they even have a chance to become vertically integrated in the USA.
Sounds like a change data capture problem. Consider using Debezium, my team was able to use the standalone java engine to connect to a Postgres DB and stream (within the context of the Java app, not an external kafka stream) insert/update/delete events. You could filter those events and apply your notification and other logic to the filtered events.
Well first of all, if their service critically depends on wireless communication, then that's bad design.

Have predicted for years that electronic voting would cause civil unrest because in a highly contested election, it does not provide adequte physical evidence of vote integrity. The whole idea of electronic voting is designed to forfeit the integrity of a process whose entire legitimacy depends on the integrity of that process. As they say, this isn't the first time they stole from us, it's just the first time they've been caught. Anyone who has scratched the surface of this issue is unlikely to be persuaded by new assurances about new electronic voting controls, other than committed partisans who are fine if it's rigged in their favour.

The more interesting question is, what are the knock on effects of a popular loss of confidence in western elections held with these machines?

Your question made me read the article. And it does seem to be lacking enough sample data. At one point she had 550 samples and that was called “substantial” in the article. Towards the end it had grown to 1000 samples.

To your point the study is so small it does not attempt to answer the question in whether veins are static.

There appears to be active research in this area in general. It does look like many companies and researchers are looking at ways to use vein patterns for bioinformatics

Pure prototypal JavaScript is honestly one of these non authoritarian languages.

At its core it's just:

var obj = {};
obj.a = 10;
obj.a; // returns 10

And with browser dev tools you can debug very efficiently.

I would agree that the interactivity of the REPL is not at the same level as CLisp.
Just thinking out loud here: I think it would require trusted sources (not necessarily a centralized authority) that have validate it and that you trust.

You can prove two balls are different colors to a colorblind person by having them show you two balls of X color and proving to them that you can differentiate them (watered down example), but it requires validated externalities (ex, you can see colors they can’t).

Defining the external validators is the hard part.

In an ideal world yes but I don't think I've ever experienced reviews being done like this. Rtings purchase their own units but still would run afoul of swapping xomponents in lines. Reviews of live service video games are rarely updated unless something drastic changes (see the Destiny 2 issues where they pulled old content from the game...)

Hey Javier - nice project :)

From an application developer perspective, I can see this being very useful when selecting dependencies, and especially when comparing between components that provide similar functionality.

From a library author perspective, I have a question: if my component ranked badly on "complexity", for example, is there a way that codekhana could help me navigate to the particular directories/modules of the codebase where there are problems?

(this could be a bit like disk usage analysis: for example, you learn that a filesystem consumes 20GB when it should only use 1GB, and so you want to find out where that extra disk usage is coming from)
Consoles have design lifetimes, and thermals are part of the computation that helps you figure out if your components are going to last as long as the warranty. Obviously, if you run a chip hot, its service life will be reduced.

So companies develop models that tell them how long things like the SOC (main chip with CPU, etc.) will last for a given temperature and use frequency, and whether or not they've got a 1-year design on their hands, or one that will last 20 years.

The model improves as you gain experience with manufacturing, customer issues, and get more testing than you could do before launch. Making the systems too beefy can be expensive, and saving pennies really matters when you're making millions of units.

So I imagine that the folks at Sony determined they could get away with a smaller heatsink and still have an acceptable fleet failure rate, probably a year or two out from the posted warranty.
Well, it looks cool, but how does it work?
I like this idea. What do you do to get parents aware and started on the transition? Curious especially how to get the notice of parents who don’t aggressively research education options as they would likely be the busy workers who would benefit from the 5:30 end time.

I see similarities between your model and homeschool co-ops, and to a lesser degree, hybrid schools. I’d considered how co-ops in particular could benefit from a guide or docent to help each student put together their mix of co-op classes and individual studies via book or video. Curious if you’d studied them as well.
Is there a similar article on how truck-driving became male-dominated? Or garbage-collecting?
There’s an event like this on average every sixty years.

So far we’ve been lucky, and haven’t gotten any hits since we started covering the planet in sensitive electronics. The chance of that happening next year is about 1/60. YMMV on whether that is high or not.
>Real life is often not as clear. We don’t know whether our costs are sunk or not.

I'm having trouble thinking of when it's not clear.

>Has the athlete who trained 7 years to get to elite status wasted her time, or is she on the brink of a series of pb’s that will rocket her into contention for gold, two months out from the olympics? It’s hard to tell.

>Should Vincent Van Gogh have stopped painting and studied a trade or a profession that would at least pay a living wage? Should his brother Theo have kept supporting him? It depends on when you do the reckoning. In Van Gogh’s case, the Art was never worth anything during his whole lifetime.

How they spent their lives so far was a sunk cost. That's clear. However, the skills they gained from those years should influence a rational choice. The years themselves are irrelevant. Even if they were perfectly rational, the athletes of today are likely to be athletes tomorrow, because it's easier for them to be an athlete tomorrow than an accountant.

The number of years they've sunk training should only come into play if it helps estimate how much further to their goals. Which means they should follow the opposite of the sunk cost fallacy: the less they've sunk so far, the better. Take your example athlete. If she had instead trained for 14 years to reach that same level of skill, even at the same age, shouldn't she see the Olympics as a less likely goal? It took twice as long to get where she is, so chances are it would also take longer to reach Olympic level.

Ethics class can literally teach you how to be ethical though. Like it's not that people want to be unethical, they simply don't know how to accomplish their goals in an ethical fashion.

Most people legitimately want to think of themselves as good people, instructing them on making sure that the rest of society views them this way can be very valuable.
This title is horrible. The interesting thing here is that it might be possible to identify people thank to their hands (as they seems to be unique enough).

But man, reading this was upsetting. While this might appear light for some, it is much details for me (i understand trigger warnings now :/)
One detail from the article is that the victim set up the camera to catch evidence herself. The perp would have to be proactively masked and gloved if he suspected a hidden camera.

That happened to me too and directly influenced why I turned from math to programming, at least everything was deterministic.
> The code should be open source and auditable.

100%. Who in their right mind would think it is a good idea to trust a private corporation with doing the right thing in regards to democracy and voting?

Whoever has been outsourcing voting to private corporations needs to be investigated for graft. This have been going on for years.
Unfortunately this will become accurate history even though it is not accurate at all.

In the 1960s and 70s: “Aspiring male professionals wanted in, but they didn’t want to be associated with lowly coding clerks. To elevate themselves, they emphasized the esoteric nature of their discipline, deriving professional authority from individualism, personal creativity, and an obscure, almost arcane, skill set.”

Does it at all matter that by the 60s and 70s the complexity of programming and software was immensely larger than programming in the 40s?
The research shows that ethics courses have no effect and may even make people less ethical

This is how you know you need a vacation from computers - when you write an article literally fetishizing sounds they once made. The whole piece is symptomatic of a fried brain. To the author: go outside for a long walk and shut your devices off.
Competent and caring doctors know about it and mind it, yes. Finding those that do have free patient slots is quite a quest, though. Especially outside large urban centers.

The Bhagavid Gita attempts to define a person's response to a life event by decomposing it into "dharma" and "karma". Dharma is external and is specified by a person's birth, caste, etc. (essentially societal factors) whereas Karma is more personal and rises out of actions from a man's conscious volition. It attempts to propose the right action by checking what is good dharma and good karma but as I've read in a beautiful introduction to the Mahabharata translation by John D. Smith, Dharma and Karma can often point in opposite directions.

I thoroughly agree that the central idea of the Bhagavad Gita is to do your job without unnecessary worry or anxiety about the outcome. I've seen similar ideas in Epictetus's Enchiridion (put yourself to things in your control and forget about things beyond your power) and more recently in the notion of "separation of tasks" central to Alfred Adler's works. Irrespective of the source, the idea of focussing on my job without worrying about the outcome has been immensely helpful to me in moments of great anxiety and uncertainty.
I would recommend setting up a staging app with a copy of the production database, testing a migration script there, then running the same script on production once you're confident.
I'm not sure how much this is a tech book, but Dawn of the New Everything by Jaron Lanier is great.

Jaron is a pioneer from the early days of VR (he started/helped start VPL Research Labs). The book is a combination memoir and thoughts on what VR is and isn't. It opened my mind as to what is possible with VR but also the dangers it poses.

Regarding the tech side, it did get me interested more in the math of computer graphics, so if anything, I would call it a gateway tech book :)
If their primary motivation was to not get caught, they just wouldn't do it at all. I suspect (but cannot prove) that skin to skin touch is an important part of it for them.

We don't need 16 billion people in the next century. But to the point of the article, my choice to not replicate is not a choice to avoid work life balance. That said, it does mean I may be able to take more risks because I don't have as many people depending on me. This is not a bad thing to have a mix of stability and risk-taking in society.
Jack didn’t overcommit. For example, he played a limited set of events each year. There are some lessons in that.

You don’t need to overcommit to be great.

He prioritized family over money and success (he could have won more tournaments which bring more money and records). We can all do that
What you've written is a total, 100% mischaracterization of my opinion. I don't think Nicklaus "had it easy", nor do I think there probably weren't lots of things he had to overcome.

But at the very top echelons of sport, virtually all the difference in success comes down to innate talent. Why? Because at that level, basically all the competitors are putting in nearly the maximum about of time and practice necessary to succeed. We don't ever really try to deny this either - look at how sportscasters talk about people like Bolt, Nicklaus, Messi, Ronaldo, Biles, James, Phelps, etc. etc. Nobody denies they work really hard, but also nobody denies their innate gifts are otherworldly. I mean, I've seen loads of articles that talk about how Phelps is almost genetically constructed to have the perfect body for swimming.

And I don't begrudge any of these superstars for their success - on the contrary, they bring me lots of joy by sharing their insane talents with the world.

What I do begrudge is the messaging that we can all "be like Mike" if we just put our mind to it and work hard, and then we can have a nice work-life balance to boot. I'd much rather read articles about "average" people and how they learned to balance their desire for success with healthy relationships.
In fact, that's more than the prime majority of bankers will ever see.

Computer science/coding seemed to have travelled the same trajectory before the stigma faded. A very in demand trade that nobody really wanted to do despite basics being available to many.

Back at home, people, including my parents, were categorically refusing to believe that starting salary of a banker could be as low as below $30k (per year) in US, or Canada.

That is after many spent their entire life savings, and sold their houses to give their children "business" eduction in the West.

Golden Dawn in Greece and AFD in Germany (although it should be noted that AFD is not quite the same. GD would be equal to NPD or similar). Both have about 10% of the vote more or less to give you an idea of the size.

This is one of the most widely discussed political topics here and has been since at least 2013. I don‘t see how „nobody wants to admit it“.

The Green party was recently at 30% and is now at 18%. The social democrats + liberal + green party are currently at 53% - all decidedly not xenophobic. (source: sonntagsfrage.de)

The fact that a right-wing party exists is normal in a democracy. We should keep in mind that the Republican Party is in many ways more right-wing than AFD. And it‘s far bigger. The German conservative party is in many ways left of the Democratic party in the US. The social democrats and the Green party would be completely unthinkable there right now.

(I‘m voting for the Green party.)
