Mounting a handheld vacuum cleaner to drywall, using some plastic anchors that came in the box. I don't know what they're called, but they mushroom in the cavity behind. Two screws, both in anchors. I made sure the screws are tight, so friction prevents the mount from wiggling up and down.

Same here. Hyper awareness explains it, and it definitely isn’t reliable enough to say it is based on some extra sensory input. Just paying attention more than most.

Not sure if you’ve experienced similar, but I also have been aware of things like where the trash cans and bathrooms are, where the fire extinguisher is, where the power outlets are, etc. without being asked or consciously attempting to find them, and can give accurate spatial directions to them without thinking about it much, which seems to be similarly unusual. I just remember and integrate the knowledge as I happen to run across various data.
Folks, please use your words. Some of us are just trying to make it through Friday without having to login and use show-dead to see both sides of a discussion.
Retired 6 months ago at 50 years old. So far I love it. I do not miss work at all. I have not done any programming since I quit and I have no immediate plans to. I had a lot of other plans for my retirement but from reading advice from other early retirees I have decided to just unwind and "do nothing" until that gets boring.

The days do feel longer but not in a bad way. There is plenty to do even when doing nothing. I exercise regularly, eat healthier and my overall health is a lot better now. I have started traveling a bit which I expect will increase once Covid situation improves across the world.

There is a ton of books I would love to read but so far I have not found time for it.
Just curious, how many babies have been born from two vaccinated parents? How many studies have been done to ensure there are no side effects on the conceived child and/or the mother?
I'd say the top lesson I learned is that when you get a list of requirements from someone, most of the time they are not 100% set on them and if they agree to change something very minor, it can allow you to create significantly simpler solution and all parties will benefit from that.

Junior developers often get lost while trying to design a super complex system, which satisfies all the requirements, while it doesn't really need to be that complex.
Are you talking about Apache Beam? I happened to land a job where I had learned how to create dataflow pipelines using Apache Beam (java) on gcp.

Im a little worried that I might be investing my time on a skill/tool that isn’t that much in demand. (Instead of common backend/frontend development)

> "... the most likely explanation for this is that some people who got their hands on a treasure trove of information and code about Twitch's inner workings are now abusing the site's functionality for fun."

I was wondering what kind of exploits people would find in the leaked code.

Can you imagine the number of new bug fixes going into Twitch's bug tracker right now? Or perhaps these exploits already logged, but a low priority because the code was considered secret, thus the exploits hard to discover.

What kind of response will their project management teams have ? Do they bring on new hires to help with the backlog, or take developers off other projects and delay new features?
Hi, I'm a real person who probably is a rough approximate of the imaginary strawman you're talking about in this post.

I'm not going off to become a subsistence farmer today... because that has literally nothing to do with being concerned about increasingly severe wildfires, more destructive hurricanes, more severe droughts or floods or loss of viability of farmland over the coming years and decades.

The climate crisis doesn't mean we're going to wake up tomorrow in some post-apocalyptic fantasy you're imagining where people will be hunting deer with bows & arrows. It means a lot of different bad things will continuously happen- the border & immigration crisis will get worse as Central American farms struggle under worse weather, wildfires will mean more evacuations and worse air quality, 'natural disasters' of hurricanes or blizzards or flash floods that would happen once-per-century will happen once-per-decade.

The rational thing to do isn't to go LARP as a post-doomsday survivor in the woods, the rational thing to do is to vote for policies to reduce carbon emissions, invest in renewable energy and try to educate the scientifically illiterate about the dangers of inaction.
> They only hire elite MBAs.

Can you clarify? In my experience in finance this has not been true for at least the past decade.

Blackrock, JPMC, and many hedge funds hire out of good schools but solely Ivy League or elite MBAs.

And certainly the director level has plenty of state school graduates.

Is anyone else just stick and tired of hearing about cloudflare? They actually make the internet worse for me.
Your quote of the article made me think I was going to hate the advice, but then I realized you quoted it out of context, here's the full quote:

> People might claim they have “signals” for these things… “if they ask about time off in the first interview then they are never going to be there!” But these are all bullshit. If you’re using signals like these you’re just guessing and turning away good candidates
> how these errors are presented to the user, or what ends up in the logs in production. In those cases something like [...] are significantly more actionable than just the underlying I/O errors by themselves. To the point **where a person reading these messages has a shot at addressing the problem** without any prior knowledge of the code base.

(emphasis mine)

This is a huge belief of mine as well. I call it a "semantic stacktrace".

I actually go as far as to say that _most of the time_ backtraces in errors are an antipattern, as it gives a false sense that an error is actionable ("oh, just look in the code!").

I even try to make it such that each leaf error is constructed in exactly one place so that grepping for the error identifies that one location.
> I am interested in a deliveroo/just-eat style grocery shopping solution though

AFAIK, Deliveroo do this already. (1) I've never had cause to try it though.

JustEat might be less inclined to do that as they have traditionally relied more on the individual restaurants' fleet of drivers (e.g. owner's cousin on a moped) rather than running their own fleet.

Why is this downvoted? It's absolutely right. Why not Pol-Pot? Everything is "far right" according to Joseph Stalin.

The comment that got flagged for trying to reverse this missed its point, but I thought it had one.

My reply-too-late:

While that is a little hyperbolic, there's definitely a "kid gloves" approach you have to take in a lot of online discussions.

E.g. there was an article on burnout that popped up on HN[0] recently where the author made sure to apologize for being a "privileged white chick" early on. You can't just talk about your problem with burnout and how you handled it, you have to virtue signal about issues that might not even be related first.

I've seen discussions on Twitter get swamped with "what are you doing in our conversation?" replies that drew the line on racial boundaries, when the issues at hand weren't even exclusive to race.

The most common forms of high fructose corn syrup are HFCS-42 and HFCS-55. HFCS-42 has 42 percent fructose and HFCS-55 has 55 percent fructose, with the remaining sugars being primarily glucose. As a comparison, common table sugar (sucrose) is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. While there are public health problems caused by over consumption of sugar, simply switching to sucrose is not really a solution.

Sure you can, but the mount will crumble over time.

For example, I tried pretty much everything from the post to attach IKEA towel rack (look up "GRUNDTAL"), and all of them started wobbling after few months of use (or abuse).

Currently it's attached with toggle anchors, and the hole is completely crumbled. Try it yourself: find a piece of drywall, attach something with toggle anchors and start twitching it different directions.
I do CRUD stuff mostly at work but I always research things to improve. A good programmer can make a huge difference in CRUD applications. Things like proper relational database design can save a lot of issues down the road. Using good OOP practices can improve reliability. Keeping things DRY is great too.

I have seen some awful source code that run business applications for years.......but bad engineering practices may cost millions in the long run one way or another.

> Guns are also "easy" to manufacture, but are successfully restricted

Hahaha. This is a privileged take. 3d printing guns has been a thing for years now, and the FGC-9 (Fuck Gun Control 9mm) is a carbine that uses zero restricted firearms parts.

Gun control is in serious danger of becoming completely obsolete.

Edit: I'd like to add that the FGC-9 is also durable, none of that single-shot disposable .22 pistol stuff.
What exactly is "the desired effect?" If it is to eliminate Covid, the vaccine doesn't seem to help much, considering vaccinated people can still get infected and pass on the infection to others.
> The 10x programmer is a silly myth. The idea that someone can produce in 1 day what another competent, hard working, similarly experienced programmer can produce in 2 weeks is silly.

N× programmers for N>1 are mostly not N× cowboy solo code slingers, lots of gains are in enabling other members of the team.

The idea that programmer contributions to output are all in solo code slinging is a close cousin of the myth “programmer contributions can meaningfully be measured in lines of code”.
That's a great point! It was invented somewhere in the late 90s, no? So maybe it was a confluence of alot of things that broke it out finally.
It's quite likely they put some of the money into Bitcoin and are well ahead. They pretty much admit holding Bitcoin and things like the Celsius loan are profitable. I don't think they'll collapse due to not having funds. If anything gets them it will be the executives being arrested for money laundering or similar.
At least in the middle of Manhattan, I've learned to rely on the direction of cars up and down avenues to tell which way I'm facing. I know that Eighth Ave goes up because I live and work around there, and so can extrapolate for the other major avenues. That, and that subway exits often given you their cardinal orientation relative to the center of the intersection they erupt from.

I have that same issue with playing the piano. I think the problem is that your mind necessarily needs to flail around in the creative process in order to progress unless you're playing the simplest piece on the piano or Tetris on the computer. As such, it becomes increasingly likely over time that your creativity will stumble into something you didn't want to relive and then everything comes grinding to a halt.

I'd imagine that the most brainless casual games would avoid this sort of thing.

Seriously?
Neither the vaccine manufacturers nor the White House explained that the product "craps out" after 6-9 months. Had people known this in January, they might have just taken their chances with natural immunity.

But this is awfully convenient for Pfizer and Moderna's coffers, to rollout a system where people need boosters every 6 months, especially if businesses and the White House are going to mandate it.

Oddly, there's little-to-no information about covid natural immunity waning.
A few things in response to this.

1) I find it pretty damning of whatever jobs this poster is referring to. Are they so boring and singularly focused that having a broad education is a waste of time? Do they have say in any important decisions that cross disciplines? It's like when people say that a computer science or any higher education is unneeded to be a developer. It's true for a certain set of jobs, but those positions always seem very boring to me anyway.

2) The difference between education and Education. Higher education is not job training. It's not a YouTube tutorial. You are learning ways of thinking and analyzing, over the course of a few years with the direct help of paid teachers. When you have great teachers, anything is possible. If you think that any month long MOOC, tips-and-tricks blog post, or conference talk will have that effect on your brain, you're mistaken.

USPS isnt the canonical whole picture either though, have you talked to actual humans in your physical friend group to extrapolate what others did last year?

Many people moved their nexus to their parents house while physically going elsewhere with the uncertainty. USPS data has no way of accounting for that if the physical human being did not tell USPS to forward mail to where they physically were.

Anecdotes are a signal to say “look over there and see where the hypothesis goes”, if people havent done that and simply invalidate anecdotes because meme, then the answer is not known

And for many questions the data doesn’t exist, just because someone elevated USPS change of address filings as a signal doesn’t mean it is the strongest

I'm not sure that holding people back in an attempt to boost up others will amount to anything good. If you hold white people back to give black people a chances, the white people are going to hate black people that much more. It's certain to lead to worse issues with racism.

There's nothing totally convincing on this is there? I followed the links and it seems to just be modulating EEG responses. That's not the same as "humans are capable of detecting". It's possible to measure unconscious capabilities behaviourally, e.g in blindsight experiments.
The logic is bad. You need to compare 5 groups. Your group 3 lumps together people that were previously infected with those that were not previously infected. By doing that, it would artificially show the vaccine was more effective than it should be.

The 5 groups:

1a. Never vaccinated, No prior infection

1b. Never vaccinated, prior infection

2a. Vaccinated, No prior infection

2b. Vaccinated, prior infection (Infected then Vaccinated)

2c. Vaccinated, prior infection (Vaccinated then Infected)

that wasn't the premise. fat people can (and do) take up an ICU bed that could go to healthy people.

if it were a proper vaccine, the vaccinated wouldn't be able to contract covid at all.
There's a whole field of study in dark matter, something we've not directly observed yet. That article doesn't seem to contradict the assertion; it says things like:

> As we investigate biological systems on nanoscales and larger, we find that there exist processes in biological organisms, detailed in this article, for which it is currently thought that a quantum mechanical description is necessary to fully characterize the behaviour of the relevant subsystem.

This would be proof of one of those hypothesized processes.

Sorry, I could not understand most of what you meant, but regarding that I am "jumping to conclusions" too I disagree.

Comments making fun of a site praising jamstack being down are jumping to two conclusions: the site is itself is using jamstack and the praise of jamstack is for use in blogs. That's what the commenter above pointed out.

When I point out that these commenters are jumping to conclusions I am not jumping to conclusions. It is pretty clear that they are associating the use of jamstack and the site being down.

Me: > I don't know there's conclusive evidence at this point...

I already said there was no conclusive evidence yet, but that's not the same thing as "debunked." A judge agrees. Had it in fact been "debunked repeatedly" then the lawsuit would not be permitted to proceed.

>> The court did dismiss RICO charges against the defendants. However, it found the plaintiffs adequately alleged monopolization, market manipulation, common law fraud, and violation of the Commodities Exchange Act.

A judge literally found based on the plaintiffs evidence that they have adequately alleged market manipulation.

So, let's see where that goes then, shall we?

Either the judge is wearing a tinfoil hat too, or I suggest new talking points.

Of course I don't like cryptocurrency, lol, it's hot garbage IMO. However, I wouldn't like it any more or less at $1,000 than I would at $100,000 (well, except that Bitcoin's environmental footprint cap is proportional to its price - so lower is better for the planet).

That's right, it's intended to be more lightweight since it's built with only Rust from the ground up. Apache Drill also only focuses on serving SQL as the user interface while ROAPI wants to provide a pluggable interface to support all use-cases. For example, we can plan graphql and rest api calls into query plan and efficiently execute them using Datafusion.
Having some amount of caution for a novel vaccine for a novel disease with novel vaccination types seems reasonable. These vaccines are the first mass vaccinations with mRNA or the first mass vaccination with modified adenovirus, depending on which one you get. Personally, the risk from the disease outweighed the risk from the vaccination, but I also wasn't anywhere near the front of the line to get one.

Also, my child participated in a "long term" study on a childhood vaccine reformulation, and long term just means one year. So, if there were side effects outside of that period, it wouldn't be found from long term studies, it would have to come from some other research. Of course, small effects that show up years later is going to take a long time to pin down, and would have required a very large study group to notice statistically.

Realistically, if there is some negative side effect that takes years to develop and only affects a very small fraction of people, we won't know that it's related to any particular vaccine for a long time. And we'll figure it out from epidemiology studies, not from safety studies.
Even into the late 90s 2D PC games were being written with large chunks of assembler. 3D APIs killed that. I'm sure there were huge slabs of machine code in console games until the early 2000s, especially systems that needed a lot of specialized code to fully exploit them, e.g. PlayStation 2.
