"We all hate FB" ?

FB groups is relied on by rescue groups routinely with huge altruistic benefits. An example I personally know:
animal shelter workers routinely find homes for abandoned animals, rather than euthanasia...at least in the United States.
Actually as of now, toybox does not contain bc or dc. There is a bc in community dir.

Even busybox in many builds does not come with bc which is a posix requirement.

No, that was just the story he told to his venture investors. Fishermen probably had lots of circumstantial evidence for America at the time, but explaining that to a venture capitalist is much harder than spinning some fantabulous tall tale. (People do this sort of thing today too.)
Well, the good news is that either way we are still exposed to a lab leak of an airborne highly contagious coronavirus as much as we were before. Oh wait did I say good news?
Because they're Apple and it's their store. Of course they want the box to look fancier :)

Also: There is a HUGE difference (in my opinion) between Apple recommending me other apps based on the ones I already have installed vs Facebook tracking my presence and activity everywhere around the internet.
I appreciate the link, but I really don't understand the mechanics of using a bowl (tabo) without toilet paper or such. Get your hand wet in the tabo, make a first pass at cleaning. Then what? Your hand is dirty, and if you rinse it in the tabo, that water is tainted for all future passes. Considering the first pass is probably the worst, I don't think this is negligible.

I had a friend who would bring a cup of water to the bathroom, barely dip the toilet paper in water, and use the wet paper to get cleaner. But without having (and disposing of the) paper after each pass, I don't see how it would work.
Decided to redesign this very old website with NodeJS. Initially started with WordPress back in 2012 when I was in college, it was an excellent opportunity to lean web designing and SEO. Not really a side project any more, just want to keep it alive because it was my first proper website . Hope there are people out there who'll find it useful :)
> The landlord didn't assume the risk that they couldn't remove the resident AND the resident wouldn't have to pay.

That’s not how risk works.

> You also probably don't know who most landlords are, but in way of example, say I rent out a room. Should I be subjected to someone living in my house, then lose my house because they aren't paying and I cannot afford to not rent out that room?

My parents are landlords, god bless their souls. But they know what they got into. I chose to distance myself from their business because I find it morally revolting.

Also; don’t gamble your house away if you can’t afford to lose! That is how this works!

PS: my parents are making fucking bank as landlords right now! Don’t feel bad for any of them! They literally just made an offer on a third lake house.

It's primarily a testament to how simply mind bogglingly slow Python is outside of its optimised numerical science ecosystem. Which also why I don't use it that much, because while numerical analysis is a big part of what I do, so is what I would call "symbolic manipulation" and unless you go to quite some effort to transform every problem into a numerical one, Python is just awful at that.

But Nim is only one of a whole suite of languages that easily cruise to a 10x performance win over Python. And that isn't counting multicore - if you count that you quickly get to a 100x improvement.

Personally I use Groovy for much of what I do for similar reasons (which is somewhat unusual) but its just a placeholder for "use anything except python".
> and not buying laptops with terrible linux support but I wouldn't paint the situation as this tragic.

Please tell me the name of a laptop which has excellent support for Linux. At this point, I'm ready to go out of my way to spend more money than I can afford if that gets me excellent Linux compatibility.

I know, for a fact, that AMD based ThinkPads don't qualify. The Intel based FrameWork laptop has issues with suspend resume as well.

Early exercised, do not regret.

It really depends on the health of the company, risk tolerance, how long you plan to stay, and your strike price.

Paying a few thousand to exercise early to avoid hundreds of thousands in taxes later was worth it for me.
Almost all people who are evicted find a cheaper place to live. They do not live on the streets. That is why there is a large range of places in this country with a large range of rents. They may need to move in with friends or family, they may need to move out of SF and into Oakland, or even out of California and to Arizona, etc, but they can find some place.

This idea that if you can't afford a meal in a restaurant then you must immediately go begging for food is just odd. People have agency. They plan out their lives according to what they can afford.

One drawback of trying to keep people who experience an income loss from living within their new (lower) means is that it prevents more rental units from coming online and thus rental prices from falling. A unit occupied by someone not paying rent is one taken out of the market, propping up prices for those that remain, and thus making it more expensive for the household to find a cheaper place to live. Many of the business that shut down during covid aren't coming back. They will be replaced by other businesses, and at some point you have to recognize that life has knocked you down a bit and it might take some time to get back to your previous spending level. When that happens, you don't move to the streets, you move to a place you can afford. The last thing you want to do is tell everyone to keep living in their old place and pretending as if nothing has changed.
> raise pool

Is that actually how it works? If everyone in a group does a good job, or if everyone does a great job, they'll get the same raises either way? Furthermore, if management is convinced that one person did a bad job, then that increases the amount available to the rest? The incentives are fascinating. How many people are in the group to which the raise pool applies?
Bankruptcy frees stranded assets.

If tenants aren't paying rents, and landlords aren't paying mortgages, banks and real estate trusts have illiquid assets of difficult-to-assess (and likely low) value.

With evictions, failures to assess risk ripple downwards, to tenants. Without evictions or bankruptcy closure, risk ripples upwards to creditors.
Actually given people like you seem insistent that such lab leaks cannot happen, having it proven as such would help us prepare for the next because it would force us to listen to the people who have been warning us it will happen for years.
I think public housing should be provided to those that need it and private housing should be available to those that can afford it. Same with food, same with water, same with healthcare, same with education.
For someone who preaches about we shouldn't be trying to harm those of a different ideology, you're trying to justify the oppression of women that's coming from a mostly religious perspective. Exactly the thing you're saying you're against. The can of worms has been open for generations and they are trying to hurt large swathes of people they don't like for ideological reasons.
Finally! I just wrote a blog post on my site about high yield savings accounts. It’s interesting how the app companies are able to offer such high rates (affirm currently has .65%). I wonder if PayPal will pas them up… if so I’ll have to update my website!

It's supply and demand at it's most basic. Engineers, are heavily solicited. Not just by company recruiters but also by independent recruiters everyday, it's not a gripe it's a real problem and an opportunity. If I gave attention to all the people hitting my inbox with the fourth and fifth email, I would never get anything done. However if I had a place that I could put my approach rate. Like if you want to engage me it's $200. Then that makes it a more serious proposition for me to pay attention to a recruiter's email. It allows me to focus on that opportunity and invest a bit of time to look into the person and company I'm talking to. Win for me, win for them, because we're both taking the interaction more seriously. Like an ante in a round of poker, you're either playing or not. (who plays poker with no antes?) Of course whoever builds this website and let's all the hottest engineers list their engagement rate gets to take a cut of each transaction. Think of it like the Raya of recruiting. Bruce you're not getting an invite...
This predictably turned into a flamewar. I didn't learn anything new, and it doesn't seem like anyone else did, either. I don't think this community does pure politics well, and I also think that's fine. No forum (IRL or digital) does.
Automatic linter completely banning sleep(). Present reasonable alternative functions instead, like untilServiceAvailable.

Sounds silly and obvious but look into your test suite and i'm sure you will find sleep everywhere.

Majority of all flaky tests are due to miscalculated sleeps in my experience. Sleep is also the biggest contributor to slow runs, with longer and longer sleeps being used to combat the flakiness. Both factors being the biggest pain points of E2E tests.
OSX does standard ACPI S3 for Intel Macs, it is "real" sleep. If you turn on darkwake (Power Nap) it does as advertised and wakes up to do background tasks. It isn't the same as Windows, UEFI, and the S0I3 state. The OSX ACPI doesn't even implement it.
Nope, not anymore. This used to work for my 2013 MBP, but even if I completely shut down my M1, it will start booting upon any interaction. Opening the lid => starts booting. Pressing any key => starts booting. Clicking the trackpad => starts booting. Which is funny, because the trackpad doesn't physically click anymore, it just reacts to pressure, and only if it's a finger pressing on it (you can't click it with any object), and all that it still working when the computer is "shut down", i.e. you can't click the trackpad with a pen, but you can with your finger and it will turn the MacBook on.
Madoff ran his scheme for decades. Till the day it fell apart 100% of his clients were up on their investments. They also learned that when you multiply decades of fantastic returns by a single zero your outcome is zero.

Millions can be wrong for decades. If history teaches anything is has to be this.

I have high hopes for Risc-V, but in this article Rpi 400 (the pi-in-a-keyboard) is more than twice as fast on most of the cpu benchmarks, and costs about 1/7th of the price.

I am sure the comparitive situation won't stay like that, but today this is the only available Risc-V platform of its type...
Certainly not true in the area of particle accelerator experiments. Every single step there is done in public so to say. And it's not that it's a niche, literally thousands of scientists and engineers work on this stuff. (Also I know people that had to change thesis topics half-way through, although I cannot fully recall the reasoning for that.)

It's well-known that there has been high-risk coronavirus research across the globe. Actually there are even documentaries from before the pandemic, not sure why this has to be double-emphasized.
> Unfortunately, most candidates these days have been taught (by guides like this and other internet wisdom) that salary negotiation must be played like an ultra-competitive game where the first move is to always force the company to name their price first

I have to say, it hardly seems to me like an applicant asking a potential employer to name a figure first is an ultra-competitive hard-core tactic.

May I ask if you're located in California? If so, how do you deal with AB 168, which requires companies to disclose salary ranges upon request?
>The landlord didn't assume the risk that they couldn't remove the resident AND the resident wouldn't have to pay.

Then they assumed wrong. National emergencies happen, in this instance a pandemic (that is still very much ongoing) meant that potentially millions of people stood to lose their livelihoods and their place to live. Millions of people with no jobs and no homes, a catastrophe, to put it mildly. Ordinary rules do not apply the same way in extraordinary situations.

How many landlords lost their homes due to this? How many could sell one of their properties and weather the storm with the profits?

>This was effectively the state seizing property, forcing the landlord to maintain the property and providing it to someone else.

No property was seized. The government did its most important job, namely supporting citizens who are unable to support themselves, those who do not have enough capital to weather a storm.

Someone who rents out a room is not going to lose their home from such a moratorium. It is a deliberately misleading argument to frame it like that, and it is not a common situation.
Well, company want you to hear your sales pitch so they can buy your product (software development) for an yearly rate of $200k. How many sales professionals can close recurring $200K/yr contract with just 8-9 hours of work?

If we're talking dystopic anime, we already have celebrity avatars like in Psycho Pass, and surveillance that rivals Sybil's at times. I wonder how long do we have until things like China's social score directly lead to preemptive arrests.
At least Sybil strives to be fair as it's prime directive and the thought of it being self-serving is radical.

An engineer that joins a Series B startup at 500M with 100k/yr equity, and that company gets to 5B valuation, very roughly gets 1M equity yearly. Also potentially tax advantaged.

How many L8's does Google have? 100? The chances to get there are probably resemble or are even worse than startups from Series B to Exit.

I recently started a 400k job. Let me tell you, my offer did not start there and I did not have a competing offer. Things that helped me: 1. Remembering as much as not getting this job is bad for me, not getting me is bad for them. 2. Work with the recruiter. I at all times reiterated that I completely trust him and that I know he’s trying to get the best offer for me. 3. Reminding them constantly that you are viewing this opportunity as a long term investment. You want to join and do good work for a couple of years and not have to think about money for a while. You’re not job hopping. They may save some money upfront, but in the long run it won’t matter if they paid me more. 4. Absolutely have your asks clear. Be prepared to say what matters to you and what doesn’t. Don’t try to get everything. People respect your ask if they realize you’re not fishing to see if you can get more, you already know you can and how much you can.
I'm confused about your claim that the REA bill shut out private business. That's not correct as far as I can tell. Caro^[1]:

> The conflict over inclusion of the utilities was compromised by allowing them to be eligible for REA loans, but giving preference to non-profit bodies such as cooperatives.

And the actual bill text^[2]:

> The Secretary is authorized and empowered, from the sums hereinbefore authorized, to make loans for rural electrification to persons, corporations, States, Territories, and subdivisions and agencies thereof, municipalities, peoples' utility districts and cooperative, nonprofit, or limited-dividend associations, organized under the laws of any State or Territory of the United States, for the purpose of financing the construction and operation of generating plants, electric transmission and distribution lines or systems for the furnishing and improving of electric service to persons in rural areas...

> Provided, That the Secretary, in making such loans, shall give preference to States, Territories, and subdivisions and agencies thereof, municipalities, peoples' utility districts, and cooperative, nonprofit, or limited-dividend associations, the projects of which comply with the requirements of this chapter.

Yes, there is a clause stating a preference for cooperatives, but as Caro explains, making these cooperatives was not that easy for poor rural areas:

> The REA Act required loans to be self-liquidating; before a farmers’ electrical cooperative could obtain a loan, therefore, the REA had to be satisfied that the cooperative would be able to repay it, together with annual interest of about 3 percent, within twenty-five years. The crucial criterion the REA established to ensure this was population density: the agency said it would make no loan in any area in which the electrical lines to be built would serve an average of less than three farms per mile.

Since it wasn’t mentioned, I’m curious if they have ever investigated the performance of GraphQL server implementations in other programming languages.
I don't understand this comment. Google have done countless things both for and against open software.

any business that wants to use gpl software has a problem.

It's not that gpl is bad either, or that it can't be used for commercial purposes, it's simply that the traditional business model doesn't include giving anything to anyone else.

So like I said, google "mit vs gpl" to get countless articles and discussions explaining all about that. That is the answer to "what's the problem with gpl here?"

This project is 0bsd not mit but mit will yield more hits, and is the same fundamental issue.
It's common for companies that want to exploit employees and not reward them for their contributions.
Yes this is a normal phrase meaning simply other people and nothing to do with ‘the other’ which has a different meaning in English.

Another example of this is the film ‘Au revoir les enfants’ which a literal translation would render as ‘Goodbye the children’ but is really just ‘Goodbye children’.
>Yet they managed to do all that work in perfect secrecy without any leaks. That is the hallmark of a conspiracy theory.

But nobody is alleging that they did all the work in perfect secrecy. Clearly we know about a lot of the work: you'd use the same equipment, location, and so forth. Only a few things are left that need to be secret; namely, the origin of the viral sequences that preceded SARS-CoV-2. And if those were present in the wild it seems not entirely surprising that WIV could have simply obtained them.

Furthermore, it is not really that surprising that research which potentially develops weapons of mass destruction is kept secret, pandemic or no. Whether it caused the pandemic or not, people are still generally concerned that this kind of thing was occurring.
This is a pretty good post. I completely agree that a data scientist should not need to know Kubernetes.

There is a section about Airflow and while the author doesn't advocate for it, I've very much like it many many times. People still recommend it, but I find it to be an absolute nightmare to deal with.

One thing I have learned dealing with different data science teams is something else though. I have gone through every single pipelining tool(including pachyderm) and stream processing tool that was available at the time. The thing that people forget is that every single one of them has a thing that throws you off of what you actually want to accomplish or has some sort of caveats in your use case.

The important thing to note is that the job of the architect or whatever you want to call that person, is to provide an infrastructure where the data scientist can just run their code. And no matter which one of these environments you use you still need to build glue code for your use case. Even if that glue code is python library with a good distribution mechanism.

Lisa has absolutely got the power to cause catastrophic ruin to AMD through a couple of small decisions and there is nobody who can stop her.

The reality that she didn't do that is just more important than the fact that Papermaster or Keller are technical geniuses and work hard. There are 8 billion people in the world, we are not short on technical geniuses. There are something like 8,000 people out there who are natural born one-in-a-million geniuses at CPU design, Su "just" has to find a few 10s of them for AMD to get insanely good results. There is an eternal shortage of people who are both powerful, good decision makers and capable of recognising a 1:1,000,000 genius.

> How quickly, versus natural evolution, can serial passage evolve a virus?

Look how many infections were needed to go from Covid Classic to the Delta Variant. What's that a billion?

Comment I read from someone that aught to know what they are talking about pointed out that gain function in a lab produces viruses that are good at infecting cells in petri dishes. Not ones that are good at infecting vertebrates with full fledged immune systems trying to kill it.
> The vast majority of people who I know with kids started in their early 30s.

Your experience isn't typical, at least for women

> The average age of first-time mothers in America is now up from 21 to 26, while for fathers, it’s increased from 27 to 31. This isn’t just within America; women in other developed countries are waiting too with the average first birth happening for new mothers at age 31. [1]

Also curious, where are you getting your info that 33 is a "prime" age for having children?

> A woman’s peak reproductive years are between the late teens and late 20s. By age 30, fertility (the ability to get pregnant) starts to decline. This decline becomes more rapid once you reach your mid-30s. By 45, fertility has declined so much that getting pregnant naturally is unlikely for most women.

> Down syndrome (trisomy 21) is the most common chromosome problem that occurs with later childbearing. The risk of having a pregnancy affected by Down syndrome is

> 1 in 1,480 at age 20

> 1 in 940 at age 30

> 1 in 353 at age 35

> 1 in 85 at age 40

> 1 in 35 at age 45 [2]

If people want to have children late in life then they should go for it, but it's a disservice to readers to pretend that 30-35 is the same as teens-twenties. Not everybody has access to education on reproductive health and discussions like these are an important way for some people to learn.
