It depends on the organization whether or not it's hard internally, but technically it's very easy in America... most states are "at will" employment, which means you can be fired by an employer for no reason at any time.

So if someone within the organization has enough power they can fire people on a whim. I lived paycheck to paycheck throughout my childhood (with a single parent) and into my 20s and I've got a deeply embedded fear of losing my job at any moment.
In the last few months, for some reason, my (completely unmaintained) LinkedIn has started to top search results for my name -- over my regularly updated personal website and blog (at lincolnquirk.com) when you search for my name on Google.

One problem with elementary number theory in middle school might be picking how to approach it.

Consider divisibility, GCD, LCM, and related theorems which are usually covered early in elementary number theory books. I've seen a few different styles for dealing with these things.

1. One style involves introducing a ton of variables. If you've got A divides B somewhere, introduce C=B/A. If you've got an A that does not divide B, introduce q = floor(B/A), r = B%A. You start with some theorem you want to prove about A and B, and soon you've got a dozen or two variables floating around and end with something like "we see that z = t and thus the theorem is proved" and the poor student has no idea what the heck just happened.

It's like A and B got smashed together in a Large Integer Collider and you are supposed to figure out things from the shower of divisors.

2. Another style is to do unique factorization as soon as possible. GCD and LCM can then be dealt with in terms of factorizations.

3. I believe I've even seen a textbook that took what in the other approaches is a theorem that the GCD of A and B is the minimum positive linear combination of A and B and defined that as the GCD.

I think that for a given student there is a good chance that one of these approaches (or others that I'm sure I've forgotten about) will work a lot better than the others and one will work a lot worse than the others. Finding an approach that works for everyone in a class could be difficult.

The weird thing is, in my experience, a lot of managers don't see themselves as having power, or at least, aren't willing to use that power for others. Bad managers who don't go to bat for their reports, who joke about firing you while forgetting they can actually fire you, not helping advance your career in any way, etc.
I think this argument is true and it is easily demonstrated with GPUs. They were able to be financially successful products largely because consumers wanted them to play video games.

Now they are necessary for academic research in deep learning and other fields, which would not have gotten GPUs as advanced as they are without the market boost.

Of course that’s just a theory and it’s never possible to go back and see what would have happened. But it seems reasonable to me.

Windows 98 Second Edition is terrible in many ways. I could probably hit the comment limit listing them. Yet it remains my favourite operating system of all time, because everything else (yes, even precious Debian!) is just worse. Worse UI, worse memory use, worse hackability…

In Windows 98 SE, there was a button next to “minimise” that would give every widget a tooltip explaining what it did and how to use it; most programs came with a built-in, GUI instruction manual. Nobody else does this! (The best help UI ever made, and Microsoft just dropped it…)

Windows 98 SE included its own kernel-based virtual machine system, which it used for multi-tasking DOS and “sandboxing” DOS drivers. (They had a global lock and full privileges, though, so it's not really much of a sandbox.)

Windows 98 came with Active Desktop: you could display bits of website on your desktop as widgets (e.g. a weather service). It also came with mshta.exe, for HTML Applications; HTAs were basically like Electron, but built into the OS, so you didn't have loads of insecure Chrome versions clogging up your RAM and hard drive. (It was Internet Explorer, but iirc Internet Explorer was actually good around about that time.)

Yes, it was DOS-based. Yes, you could log in as the system user by clicking “cancel” on the “enter your username and password” box. It should be simple to beat that… so why hasn't anyone?
Thank you for the clarification. I will research these differences and libtorrent more.
...You do know that Sweden implemented more "mainstream" anti-covid measures as 2020 went on, right? A decision in July 2020 gave Swedish local authorities the right to shut down bars/restaurants. By Dec. 2020, the government was shutting down public facilities, putting mask mandates on public transportation, encouraging remote education/work, and further limiting groups in bars/restaurants.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03003930.2021.1...

So if the goal is to compare "no restrictions" to "restrictions", only amateurs would think you could use "all" the data from Sweden.
> It happens occasionally, but rarely.

For some definitions of "law" this is probably true. But I think under the more general principle it's much more likely to happen than not. If you look at the law as any set of rules, you find that they generally accuse you (it is not the subjunctive mood, but the imperative that is the mood of least reality): why do I have to tell my kids to wash their hands after going to the bathroom? Because they don't. It's the law of hand-washing. (For a more humorous take, Gary Larsen forever immortalized the idea with the alarm + light over the men's room.)

COVID's hand-washing suggestions are the grown-up version. And the way my kids resent it when I tell them to go back and wash their hands is not much different than the way some of my otherwise reasonable co-workers reacted. Of course not everyone reacted this way, but if the messaging were somewhat different I wouldn't be surprised to have found compliance higher.

Law is always paired with a consequence. For my kids, it's a short trip back to the washroom and possibly a haranguing depending on whether I'm extra irritable. For our society, it's sometimes death and/or being subjected to schadenfreude (haha, stupid rednecks took ivermectin and not only poisoned themselves but also died of COVID).

YMMV, but I have found this basic principle explains a lot: the law always accuses, and it always provokes its opposite. Moreover, people are really good at hearing law even if that's not the intent of the speaker. Communicating is hard.

A friend was a climbing instructor for awhile, and she related that when teaching people who were scared of heights to climb that the phrase "don't look down" (the law of "don't look down") was verboten. Instead, the command was "keep looking up." The difference between the two phrases was illuminating.

I think it depends on the size of the organization. At a medium-to-large company, there will almost certainly be an established process involving HR.

At a small company, there is often no such thing as HR, and your manager often has the direct power to fire you.
I think that ordering is a modern science vs early science distinction.

Most of the early principles of gravity, motion, electricity, and magnetism were observed and experimentally tested before having a basis to evaluate them.

I don't think trust can be reliably built with elements of gamification like this. The deal with gamification is that people learn to game it out, which erodes the kinds of sincere or honest interactions you're trying to cultivate.

In the olden times blogs earned trust by cultivating a reputation. The reputation was earned by having an audience that trusted them and recommended them. Cross-linking content to other blogs, guest blogging, being included on a blogger's 'blogroll,' etc. were all ways they expanded their audience.

It was slower and had much less reach, but it also focused more on "building an audience" rather than
"driving traffic." We, fundamentally, don't trust content, so mechanisms that operate on validating atomized bits of content are going to fall flat. We trust people and institutions. If you want to build trust it has to work on the agents producing the content rather than the content itself. Segmenting content up into atomized bits is what creates the erosion of trust in the first place. It's something timeline driven social media feeds do specifically because it makes it difficult to parse genuine buzz from advertising, which makes the ads more effective. But that's the opposite of trustworthiness.

Hey,

Maybe nix is not for you. I'm not well versed with nix packages and only use the basics.

Your answer on how to pin this package hasn't been answered good enough for you because it takes work to pin packages and it isn't as trivial as on ubuntu. To paraphrase it's a great place to live but not to visit.

Some of my friends are active in the NIX community. They mentioned that it was around as hard as learning haskell. One of them only grokked nix after he read nix pills [1].

I think nix has good concepts and in theory is the package manager I would like to use. In practice it isn't that.

Personally, I run ubuntu and use nix packages for three things:

- quickly test a program without needing to install it system wide via apt-get
`nix-shell -p appname`
- together with direnv for the dependencies of CPP projects I work on and
- installing commandline tools packages

While I certainly agree that jokes are dangerous, they're also a key way humans form social connections! I do think a sense of humor is important for building a rapport with colleagues.
That's a response, but it's certainly not an answer to the question that was asked. Unless your suggestion is that it's because people are acting illogically, and there is in fact no reason to ask the question in the first place?
In my opinion, joking about quitting is about as good of an idea as joking about firing someone. I wouldn't even advise talking about quitting in any way unless you've already made the decision to quit (and even then, it's not a fantastic idea).

There's no way it's this simple. Looking at a map of NYC, it seems that this must be a fairly major bridge (southernmost connection from the Bronx to Manhattan) for all kinds of traffic.

Likewise, don't attempt to comfort people about their position when you don't actually know how likely they are to get fired.

I knew someone who had done this and the person was fired that day.

I'm sure he believed it, too, or he wouldn't have said it. But he apparently didn't have all the facts. He regrets saying it and told the story a few times while I worked with him.

On the flip side, I worked with someone who was doing poorly in their job (after having done better in the past) and tried to help them keep their job.

The longer it stretched on, the worse they did.

In the end, they lost their job and I found out afterwards that they thought we were attempting to gather enough data to fire them, when in reality there were a few of us that were actively trying to help them keep it, and even management didn't want them gone, they just wanted them to perform adequately again.

I often wonder if I should have been clear about the risk to their job, or if that would just have been seen as a threat instead. At this point, I don't think I'd do anything different.

I like the idea. I have a sort of feature request premised on the assumption you end up having weights attached to the index to determine the priority of output. Could you make these weights exportable?

In that way, you could have curated content. Like if I find someone that has really similar interests to me I could import their weights and see the web via their prioritisation. Similarly, (countering a problem I always have with google search bubbles) I could explain to my friend how to navigate to a site I found via search if they import my weights.

Edit: being able to manually modify my own weights would probably be helpful as well to decay sell outs.

Here in Buenos Aires, 2 months ago, we a big covid19 wave an we had more than 90% of occupation of the ICU beds, after delaying all the medical procedures that was possible to delay. It was not normal, because during the rest of the pandemic it was much smaller, and the government of the city, and the government of the province that controls most of the area of the extended metropolitan area were worried. (They also had different opinions about how strict should be the lockdown, so they blamed each other.)

This is low-nitrated material, and the only issue there is thermal runaway that you don't have when applied as a guitar lacquer.

That nitrocellulose form is only really a problem in bulk form, like back when it was used for movie projection film.

Flakes of the lacquer just burn fast and may continue burning without additional oxygen, but the thin film inhibits any detonation waves across the surface, while the liquid lacquer form inhibits such by dilution in a solvent.

Interesting that there has been no comment on the impact of social media on blogging. I had a blog to chronicle my gaming hobby for over a decade and I gave it up recently because the audience for that type of blog has disappeared.

Most of the people that would read non-technical blogs have changed their browsing habits to mostly consume content on Facebook. Most commercial content has moved to social media. Forums have disappeared for the most part. My hobby, and I suspect a lot of hobbies, have moved on to social media. As an example, the local tabletop gaming community here at one point had four distinct forums and a large number of hobby blogs. All of that is now on Facebook.

I think you can see the impact of that on the decline in Blogger support and Wordpress' move to include more tools and support for 'professional' bloggers. Wordpress is more and more a platform for those SEO huxsters.

Blogs aren't going to come back to the internet until the audience for them comes back and that won't happen until social media, especially Facebook, is no longer capturing that audience.
