> then pre-maturely shutting down other potential treatments (ivermectin, fluvoxamine, hcq), when there isn’t really a consensus for either thing.

You listed 1 drug proven to work, Fluvoxamine, with two that have repeatedly failed in well designed RCTs…

The problem with HCQ and Ivermectin are they are both being oversold as a near-certain cure. They’ve been politicized and you see the media reacting to that. Traditional media by debunking, social media by ineffectively trying to slow the spread of the false claims that you don’t need a vaccine or masks or social distancing because of HCQ and Ivermectin.

HCQ is pretty clearly a dud. Ivermectin has a chance of having a small effect like 10% or 20%.

Fluvoxamine is the real deal but why are you complaining about media censorship here? Google News for “Fluvoxamine” shows plenty of positive coverage e.g. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22619137/fluvoxamine-covi...

> The limited, promising literature around fluvoxamine prompted its inclusion in the large-scale study of treatments for Covid-19 run by Ed Mills at McMaster University and primarily conducted in Brazil. Dubbed the TOGETHER study after other prominent mega-clinical trials like RECOVERY and SOLIDARITY by other organizations, it randomized patients across eight prospective treatments, including metformin (a diabetes medication), hydroxychloroquine (an antimalarial), and ivermectin (an antiparasite).

> The team announced their results at an August 6 symposium that was sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Most of the treatments failed: Their study couldn’t detect an effect. “A lot of drugs against Covid just don’t work very well,” Mills told me. Two other treatments were still in progress, and it was too early to rule out the chance that they’ll work.

> But fluvoxamine was a different story. In the trial, it improved patient outcomes substantially — and while it’s not the first drug to do that, ease of delivery and price give it the potential to have an outsized impact on patient care, especially outside the rich world

My newspaper will shorten "United States" to "U.S.", and not add an extra period at the end of a sentence. (Not sure if the spaces are different widths.) When the next word would naturally start with a capital letter it can be difficult to tell whether the sentence ends after the abbreviation, sometimes making for garden-path sentences.

> Another nugget in there is that something like 95-97 of the population has Covid antibodies

That is almost certainly wrong. Vaccine uptake in under-12 is 0% and vaccine uptake in young adults is low. There's no way to make those kinds of seroprevalence numbers work.

It's a struggle for sovereignty over disputed land which has largely been under both sides at one point or another in recent history. "What about <pedantry>" doesn't need to apply here.

> The author can barely contain his hatred for the politics of Signal's founder (about which I know nothing outside this article.)

It's especially bizarre since the author's only reference to the founder's "confused and useful idiot politics" is that the founder claims that regimes in Belarus, Russia, Venezuela, China are authoritarian and that there are human rights abuses elsewhere. That claim seems not only reasonable, but also perfectly consistent with still being suspicious about US surveillance policy.
Ahhhhh I see the no right turn sign on the pillar. That is confusing as there are also one-way signs (with arrows pointing to the right) further along.

Reminds me of a situation where I worked at an affiliate network that tracked ads and commissions. Adsense was relatively new back then and I figured out how to match impressions to clicks to AdWords keywords to sales. You could approximate the ROI/click for keywords on Google and to some extent SEO. The reaction from upper management was excitement then fear that the tool would get out, which it eventually did.

Couple things about this, because there are levels. First, understand to be a successful engineer you need to be a bit pedantic, so start by forgiving yourself and take a deep breath.

Once you become competent enough to identify clean code, understand that your perception of clean code is colored by your own experience and current mental context. As you learn, you will undoubtedly be aghast at your own code that you wrote at any time before 6 months ago. After you've been at it for a couple decades you will come to the horrifying conclusion that your mental model is always incomplete, the human brain is weak, and it's hard enough to not get caught in the wrong local maxima without facing up to the immense challenge of choosing between global maxima in the incomprehensible problem space where software meets human needs in the hybrid meat/mental/cyberspace ecosystem where they exist and evolve over time.

The other implication is that no two engineers will ever see things the same way. It's not purely about technical strength—a weaker engineer might come up with a better solution given more time to think about it, or due to some other blind spot or skillset gap from the more senior engineer. Also, there are many issues of style and perspective where the important thing is consistency more so than some specific choice. In those cases there's a high risk of bike-shedding, and it leads to a fundamental truth of large scale software development which is that in practice you will never get everyone on the same page. Of course there are controls for this, but unless you have the budget and operational scope constraints of NASA (or perhaps medical device manufacturers) you can't actually enforce this without losing so much development velocity that your company is utterly uncompetitive in the market.

As you move up the seniority and scale ladder to larger projects and architectures, you will realize that you still only have 24 hours in a day, and it doesn't matter how smart or how right you are, the only tool in your built to increase your impact is a simple cliche: "pick your battles". There is absolutely no upside in nitpicking every line of code that could have a conceivable improvement. If you want respect from your colleagues, you need to get good at filtering what is important and what isn't, and only pointing out the most important issues, and doing it as early in the process as possible.
> Are you suggesting that we use an extension/addon for Firefox or Chrome

No. A download-this-extension step wouldn't be much different than a download-this-single-binary step. I am specifically talking about eliminating inessential bits and bobs from the pipeline.

Respond to the message in context. Even if you still fail to understand them, are you arguing that those messages are ambiguous enough to allow for the interpretation that I could have been talking about completely abandoning the use of a static site generator and "writing HTML directly", as you were originally saying?

Ignoring that issue, I don't know what's unclear about dedicating a page example.com/colophon to work as a substitute for your static site generator binary. When you want to update example.com, you visit its /colophon, you let it ingest the directory containing your markdown sources and templates and other assets for processing—same as with any static site generator—and the result is a a bunch of post-processed files comprising your site's static resources—again: same as any other static site generator produces.

If I had to bet a month of warm showers on it, I'd go with my suspicion that guard rails on your thoughts are the source of confusion here, and not that I failed in any identifiable way to state exactly what I'm talking about.

That sign says "One Way". Not "yes turns"... I don't think I've ever seen a sign saying that, actually, it's either "No Turns" or no sign at all, since by default turns are allowed.
Being picky is not the problem. Being picky and detail oriented is good quality to have as a developer.

We aren't artists, engineering is exacting field, more details you notice and remember better you can be.

The character trait you should look for how do they present that feedback, is it constructive , is it positive , the kind of language they use and how patient they are able to be.

One interview technique/tool that works for me is asking them to review some sample code mine or a junior devs.

It is easy to gauge how many kinds of issues, how many are actually important and how well they present feedback.

The other technique that worked for me is when I review their code in a interview, people who are agressively bad almost take it poorly and can't take feedback positively .

Interviewing is not 100% representative of on job behaviour, however this helps a lot in filtering out
My thought is that punctuation "terminates" a sentence, and so the mark that's further to the right is "terminated" later, therefore it more represents the overall sentiment. The left punctuation mark is like a modifier; it's an adjective before a noun.
I think the problem is people think there isn't an attractive main stream that people look to regardless of microculture (see Kaitlin Jenner for example as someone who finds themselves an outsider within a small community). But even if that were not the case, being anti-X is also a problem in itself as you are defining yourself against X.

Wanting to be "popular" has its problems but wanting to be "anti-popular" is also a problem because in the end it's not yourself. Being the not-popular also has it's own mainstream so it will have the same popular and anti-popular dynamic. So the only ones benefiting are the company and aware "influencers".
I agree, communication is important but it also matters how we communicate. I had the same gripe with ubuntuists about Telegrams' servers, sure they are pragmatic about open source but when you have equally good FOSS tools and then decide for some stupid reason not to use it tells you something about how much people care. My local LUG btw preaches Free Software and uses Slack, so there's always circles like that.

Level 3+ requires AGI for unmapped non-highway roads. Change my mind.
Agreed. That is a very good point about it possibly being just a digraph and not always a diphthong. This depends, however, on the use, since it does sometimes slide and other times is just a ligature. The issues seem to stem from the pronunciation changes and the great vowel shift. As you point out, language is a messy business.
If the vaccine was dangerous and resulting in “non covid” deaths, why would the mortality be lower for people who had a second dose than for people who just had 1 dose?

Commented separately but it’s pretty clear there’s some sort of selection effect going on with the people who are not getting a 2nd dose that makes them more likely to die of non-covid causes.

Naw there’s a ton of fine and good people using their services.

For example, I inherited a domain 12 years ago using it. At one point I tried to move to my personal host, but my personal host has bad DNS features and I couldn’t get my site configured. I was able to move it back (panicked I just went back to the service that I knew worked). And then I was stuck in a six month period where I couldn’t transfer it again. And then life happened and it’s three years later.

That might not fit into your logical conceptions of how people make choices. But I think it’s very very safe to assume that many customers are upstanding people.

With regards to this and weight loss in general it's important to note that for many of us we can manage our weight and even lose weight successfully if we make slight diet decisions and have an ounce of willpower. Whilst it can be difficult to lose weight, this can be significantly more challenging depending on how much body fat you have carried during your lifetime, both in losing the weight but also keeping it off.

There is a lot of research being done (don't have the time to reference now) which is indicating that it is much more difficult for some obese people to keep off the weight they lose. Whilst I am not saying it is impossible and I have been a healthy weight my entire life, it is important to understand that an obese person's body is often geared in such a way that their body is primed to store food as fat more quickly than others and drive a cycle of hunger.

So whilst I'm not an advocate for an easy way out to lose weight if it doesn't address the underlying root causes of weight gain, I can get around it when it brings down some of the walls that very overweight people face that others might not.
The entire talking point of FSD is that it's supposed to be better than human drivers. This ain't it.

The definition of veer is "to change direction". This did that. Stop arguing semantics.

I fail to see how this matters at all. Even if the pedestrians hadn't started crossing yet, and were still on the sidewalk, it would have been wrong for the Tesla to make the turn without yielding to the peds.

> Not an illegal turn.

[edit] I linked to the law from the wrong state. Here's the right one:

https://app.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=46.61.305

RCWs > Title 46 > Chapter 46.61 > Section 46.61.305

(1) No person shall turn a vehicle or move right or left upon a roadway unless and until such movement can be made with reasonable safety nor without giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided.

(2) A signal of intention to turn or move right or left when required shall be given continuously during not less than the last one hundred feet traveled by the vehicle before turning.

Every other state has similar laws.

The Tesla was not signaling before or during that turn. That on its own makes the turn illegal.
