People say that but for ages FF simply couldn't do what IE did. ActiveX was a thing and FF just didn't support it. Java applets broke all over, and CSS support was a minefield. Most of the mainstream web was outright broken in MozSuite and FF. It wasn't clear at all that FF was "superior" in any way - in fact, the build system was a nightmare, you couldn't embed it anywhere, you had to fix proxy settings all the time (because it had its internal stuff, not using the Windows settings)... Yeah it had extensions, but a lot of people didn't even know what those were (and making them wasn't particularly easy - easier than dealing with MSVC++, but still not easy). Still, people were invested in the success of FF; they tolerated the brokenness and pestered the hell out of website owners to fix their shit and evangelized the browser to friends and family. Because people cared about FF and what it represented: an open browser to use the open web, built for people and geeks - not "consumers" or "enterprise customers".

Now people don't care, because Mozilla is seen as Just Another Silicon Valley Corp, with overpaid execs doing shady deals to push shit down our throat. At that point, "they are all the same" so might as well use the browser that works more often (Chrome). This can change, but it needs a positive shock.

The society here is not too divided. It's normal to meet, talk and drink beer with people of other occupations.

Hitting on the budget is a good point.

Hospitals are often run inefficiently [1]. This leads to a lot of overhead costs. Many procedures in hospitals loose money for hospitals while others make money. Taking care of COVID patients typically looses a hospital money. So, where does the money come from to pay nurses more when much of their work is on patients they loose money on?

I found myself recently listening to a podcast about the teacher shortage. Something like 20% of first year teachers leave the profession. It costs around $20k to replace a teacher. The average teacher starting salary is $41k. If you could get teachers to stay by (1) treating them with respect, (2) administrators having their back, and (3) raising that to $46k, more than 10% of pay, how many would stay for at least five years? The first two cost nothing, and if they stay more than 4 years you have entirely recouped the cost of replacing them every year.
Ritalin, obviously. ADHD isn't "too much energy", it's a neurological condition that, to a first approximation, can be defined as "the cluster of problems that respond well to treatment with stimulant medication".

I do feel bad for kids whose symptoms were ignored or mitigated by interventions as described, and therefore were not diagnosed, only to discover at age 30 or 50 that the reason they've struggled so much through life is because they have an executive function disorder, the methods for effectively managing it have existed for decades, and they could've made use of them if only people didn't dismiss them in childhood as "rowdy kids" in need of more exercise.

Interesting. First time I hear about using Zulu for meetings. hTime is similar in a way, and as you mentioned aiming at making it more convenient by combining local and global (UTC) times together.

It's a good idea to do the working layers on top as well. did you check the "Working Availability" https://thehtime.com/range feature? There you can actually specify your working availability and share this with others globally using a link. this might help.

Would you like to give hTime a go to coordinate meetings instead of Zulu for some days? I'd love to hear more feedback from a daily usage by a team. That'd be really helpful.
Hold on, I didn't say it wasn't real sci-fi. I said it wasn't really "hard sf". As somebody else said, the definition of the genre is a little fuzzy. But in my experience the best hard SF doesn't handwave away inconsistencies, and uses our current understanding of science as a basis for the science in the story. Sophons are about as believable as dragons.

Stephen Baxter does a great job with hard sf, and much of Kim Stanley Robinson's work fits the bill.

Edit:

Oops I guess I did say that people who liked it hadn't read real SF. What I meant by that was that they were an exposed to a lot of the genre, because the "original" ideas in TBP I keep hearing people praise felt very familiar and tropey to me.
I was never a big writer, but in middle school in the mid 90's I certainly exchanged notes with my girlfriend that were over a page in length daily.
Old Turkish uses the same dictionary (with a few exceptions) as current Turkish; so an automated, one to one mapping between the writing systems is not that hard to implement. My ex's dad actually did charity work for the government to do OCR for Ottoman archives and they were quite successful with their results. I see no reason why they can't automate transpiling the letters since the digitized version of the original text already exists.
> But zsh doesn't even use readline, which is bananas to me. Sure, provide an alternative but at least support readline.

Why? ZLE is what makes zsh compelling for users. It provides a high level of customizability into command line editing that is simply not possible with bash. It powers zsh's most touted completion feature as well as popular plugins such as zsh-syntax-highlighting[1] and zsh-autosuggestions[2]. Replacing it with readline would be a sure way to lose a majority of users in a blink of an eye.

I have to admit that their project does not seem like something that can generate much revenue. The website is a SPA just asking for an email address.

Paying a nurse $125k instead of $80k is not going to appreciably increase the cost of healthcare for any individual patient when the radiologist makes $500k, the surgeon makes $750k, the charge nurse makes $200k, and you get billed $35 for a Tylenol.
Of course they're not the common case, but the parent wanted examples where they are used in calculations that do have nice answers.

So they are useful. They are more useful than most people realize that simply assume they only mark errors.

And without them in your case, you would not be alerted that a calculation went wrong. So even there they are very useful. Not using them correctly is like ignoring file API errors in your programs - sure they are rare, but you need to understand and handle them if you want to make good software.

Vaccines as a job requirement are nothing new and I have no pity for people who have been fired as a result. Cry me a fucking river, you’ve had to have them for decades to send your kid to public school.

Honestly if they don’t believe in vaccines, I question their competency as a nurse and do not want them touching me. I as a patient should have the choice to manage my own risk level. These nurses can go find another job where they’re not exposing already sick patients to a deadly virus, because IMO they’re not qualified to be nurses.
Maybe they can just accept their position as one of the worst companies in technology and just call themselves “exploitation inc” or something and just be done with it.

> it should be punishable to lie to Congress or it should not

That's a political view. If you feel strongly about it, I guess make it your single issue.

You won't, because nobody would, contempt of Congress is really only something people in Congress care about inasmuch as it thwarts their ability to write legislation. Congressional hearings, while managed in modern politics as public theatre, are technically only for the benefit of the Congress.

Impeachment and Congressional disciplinary procedures are political processes. So contempt of Congress is. It's not statute. It's barely a rule. It's a right the Congress may, at its discretion, exercise. (And even in that it's limited to passing a referral to the Department of Justice for consideration.)
It seems to me they're not evaluating the pair {problem, solution}, they're evaluating the pair {problem, founder} - the solution may be changed and tweaked and not be special but the founder has to be special, and carefully designed charts with pretty numbers don't explain a founder, emotional speeches do.
Are you familiar with physics?

What engineers work with is, maybe, 1/1000 of our physics knowledge (maybe 2/1000 for electronical engineers who need a solid basis of quantum mechanics).

Our physics knowledge is maybe 1/1000 of what we roughly know should be there but cannot be probed (quantum gravity, nonlinear field theories, dark stuff...).

The Universe is so huge that it is pretty impossible to descrive how much bigger than us it is - probably infinitely.

The point is, between the stuff that we know and the stuff that we roughly know but don't really know - we know a lot more than what we can use.

Saying that something is not so useful technologically, as OP stated, is rather a safe statement. We know a lot about fermions and bosons, light and electrons - and we know sufficient information to be able to state when something is overhyped and not really useful as it seems

Your experience isn't always representative - and mine isn't either, of course. I've been buying Nexus devices since the Galaxy Nexus and I owned every Pixel device so far and the only genuinely bad experiences where the following:

- Nexus 7 from 2012 became slow as hell due to storage issues after a year. It worked fine after I RMAd it.

- Pixel 2 XL had a terrible display on the first charge. I got it replaced and the new one was way better.

- Pixel 4 XL got replaced once because the phone got quite hot while charging. The replacement has been working well.

I know a lot of people who definitely had more issues with their Samsung and Apple devices.

Top of my list is staying away from 3rd party recruiters. They're like a stereotypical used car salesmen in my opinion.

I don't really keep a solid list, but evaluate stuff when I see a posting or get approached. Off the top of my head I stay away from defense for the bureaucracy; sites with a content/product focus that I wouldn't enjoy working with, like porn, recreational drugs, or tobacco; FANNG because I'm not putting up with their nonsense interviews and wasting my time studying stuff I will likely never use; most startups because I don't care about "like Stripe for X" projects, I don't trust equity compensation, and I want a stable job.
I have considered it.

On the one hand it seems overly pendantic and petty.

On the other it may harm perception of the products maturity and dampen desire of others to work with it. Additionally it is an anti-pattern which rejects the notion that commits are teaching tools (effectively nuking git-blame). Thus the feedback, while petty, is constructive.

So I think it stays.

Thank you for your feedback.

I use voice dictation quite a bit and I haven't really noticed a difference between Siri and Google Assistant with respect to accuracy. I'm not generally in noisy environments though.

I'm very much a software-first person. I bought the iPad to run GoodNotes. It's the only good note taking device I've ever owned. Since then I found Procreate and use it all the time as well. It's an amazing program.

My phone is used mostly for voice calls, text messages, maps, and listening to podcasts. I want to run Things and Overcast on my phone and that's my primary motivation for moving to iOS.

As far as notification go, I generally disable them. I want to know when I get a text message and that's about it.
If your dream is to become a full-time author, then pick the path that means that in 25 years you can become that.

There's money on one end (will staying in management mean you will have more money and flexibility in the future? or will going back to dev give you a pay bump that will increase your base salary years into the future?) but also it's worth considering what types of life experiences will enrich you as an author. For instance, maybe managing people helps you meet a more diverse group of personalities which will be useful for your future endeavours.

I think people aren't diagnosing things at a deep enough level. All the real problems in the human world are with humans. 26 centuries ago, a very insightful guy figured out that we misbehave because of unmitigated suffering, that we suffer because we crave, and provided a method of training ourselves not to crave. To me, that's the real prescription. Talking about fiddling around with the institutions is like trimming the leaves of a tree when we need to be making changes at the roots.
The old-school way to use Thread is to subclass it and override some methods. The post here is describing a setup where you don't override methods, but instead provide some kind of mixin. I've never seen anyone write this, for example:

do_stuff()

class MyThread(Thread, MyThreadImpl):

Great feedback. I agree on the point of understating the local times of your attendees. hTime does that as well in the "Meeting Time" feature https://thehtime.com/intersect. Here you can choose the working-hour availability for all attendees so you make sure it's not after 10pm their time for example. You can then copy the link and share.

Here is an example of the best meeting time for a meeting taking place San Francisco, New York, London, and Berlin. In green, the clock shows the best time is between P-R baring in mind that the available time to meet is between 8 and 19 (7pm). Does that help?

I couldn't possibly use a shell that wasn't also a decent shell script. It seems my natural progression is always:

2. Shell script with copy-pasted commands from interactive session

2b. Evolved shell script with getopt. Complexity level beginning to tickle the spidey sense that it's too big.

3. Node.js script (I can write Python but JS seems infinitely nicer)

Right, recreating the magic does side step this defense.

The context for software security these days is defense in depth and not something like “total defense” anymore. In this case, the use of magics is more of a dev testing mechanism than a runtime protect, although it does provide great runtime protection. What this means is if you use magics with proper testing and load testing, errors should surface before you release.
