I personally disagree. I live on the extreme west end of a time zone, and I greatly enjoy having an more daylight during my after-work leisure time. Without DST, I would have almost no post-work sunlight outside of the actual summer months.
The database has analysed the query that is being run, and decided that the quickest way to fulfil that query is to take 27MB of data and sort it into a file on disc before reading it back in with the correct order. This is caused by the work_mem setting in the database being set too low, preventing the database from contemplating just sorting the whole thing in memory.

The default work_mem setting for Postgres has historically been very low. It's fine for reading single rows from a single table using an index, but as soon as you put a few joins in there it's not adequate. It should be one of the first steps of setting up Postgres to increase this limit.
You don't need more than high school science just to build a bridge. Yet we keep educating engineers. Completely unnecessary, as long as nothing breaks.

You don't really need to understand the citric acid cycle just to operate on someone. Yet we keep educating surgeons. Is that a bad thing?
I don't care - I'll adjust my life to what works. This past year I've had phone calls with people in India, Australia, and Germany (I'm in the US) There is no possible reasonable timezone for all of us, but I made each one work.
In this case, the simplest solution is to probably privilege one of them and then everybody get back to work.
If only there was a functioning standards body that could add a new option to command that reported this sort of info.
Why do you want daylight in the morning in winter? Now that we have electric lights, we have pretty good control over our indoor lighting situation, and even our outdoor lighting.
I would like to know how to start strength training at home - to counteract sitting at a computer (strengthen the core, etc) and to trade some fat for muscle, becoming lean.

any recommendations?

EDIT: thank you for the overwhelming response
What Happened to Meaningful Work
Right, calling this some kind of talk radio conspiracy theory is completely ignorant. Go to the analysts at any major bank and see what they've got in their models. Or better yet, as you mentioned, go to the fed itself. And you KNOW, the fed is understating, not overstating those numbers.
I believe it depends, a house sale is no "ordinary" matter.

In other european countries like, say, Italy, Spain, France there are national ID's and - opposed to solicitors like in the UK - notaries which are a sort of public officials for the contract (and they will check and certify the identities of the people involved, besides the acts of property) and you won't likely be able to open an account or however cash a check (I mean large sums, like the sale of a house) with someone else's identity in any bank without proper ID.

Possibly, with at least two well forged pieces of ID[1], you can get around it in the bank, but I don't think it is easy.

[1] this is (or used to be) a common request, though I doubt it is Law, when you want to open a bank account in Italy, and you need to exhibit the actual documents, not a photo or similar.

Rundoo | Backend Engineer | ONSITE (Redwood City) | Full Time

View full job post here: https://angel.co/company/rundoo-2/jobs/1703965-backend-engin...

Rundoo exists to improve the marketplace for building materials. There are ~$1,000,000,000,000 of building materials transacted every year in the US, and the vast majority of these transactions happen over the phone and then live in 40-year-old point-of-sale (POS) systems. We've built a marketplace for contractors to order that is growing 40% m/m and are now building a POS for suppliers set to go live with our first client, a $10m/year paint dealer, early next year with the eventual goal of becoming the de facto POS for building material suppliers.
Thank you! I now have it working just fine to access my two headless minis. Small vote of thanks via open collective sent too.
"Experts say" is a call to authority. It's a rhetorical trope of the lowest quality journalist. It's meant to shut down all debate and frame the headline as a foregone conclusion.
The chair of the board is a GOP mega-donor & “adviser”. Search “Mori Hosseini” for plenty of examples of he and his company getting cozy with the Desantis administration.

Coolness is one factor that attracts people to brands. Another is trust.

Yeah, just like eating a lot doesn't make you a gourmand if all you're eating is McDonald's, reading a lot doesn't make you intellectual if all you're reading is mindless pulp.

For instance, watching Cosmos is probably a more intellectual pursuit than reading Twilight.

The other real problem is that even that pulp can sometimes have value above the material itself. Sometimes, even the most mass-marketed media can propose decent hypothetical questions and give cause for self-reflection.

Homebase Automation | Senior Software Engineers | Remote (Global) | Full-time or part-time

$457b were spent on home improvement in the U.S. in 2020. We’re tapping into this market by building tools that empower homeowners to manage the complexity of the renovation lifecycle. This market is vastly underserved, with existing offerings targeting industry professionals as opposed to homeowners. Our tools put everyday people back in charge of what is happening under their own roof.

We’re looking for Senior Software Engineers (backend, frontend, fullstack) to join our team and help build a product from the ground up. We are pre-revenue but with strong seed funding so compensation isn’t an issue: we’re looking for the right fit above everything else.

Our interview process aims to be respectful of your time: 30 minute technical chat with our lead engineer about past experiences and engineering philosophy, paid take-home coding exercise representative of the work we do, final conversation with co-founder and offer.

Technologies: React + XState on the frontend, Python + Django Rest Framework on the backend. We have a strong product vision and industry validation so we focus on engineering solid foundations over rushing features out of the door.

Nobody wants to buy a bridge, we want you to provide evidence for your assertions.
Kind of wild that “completely redesign the SVG engine” was found to be the most economical option (I also wonder what it cost them).

Alternatives could’ve been switching engines, the animation approach, the UI toolkit or throwing more hardware at it.

At the scale they operate it makes sense, I guess. They likely already have a large code base on their current technology, lots of devices already sold and more powerful hardware might cut into margins by half a percent.
At least part time parthenogenesis. Eukaryotic species sometimes go all in on asexual reproduction but almost always die out in a few million years due to not being able to evolve along with changing conditions.
how does one know? The same way the actual malice standard is applied in, for example, libel cases.

The law is not self-executing. That's why we have judges and trials.
I've been buying Refurbished Thinkpads for 15 years. I still have two 10-year-old T420s in active use around the household.

There are things I will NOT buy used/refurbished, such as hard drives (I always replace the drive in refurbished laptops and put the refurbished drive into secondary capacity).
That's wild. Is there any other case where someone gets to keep stolen property as long as they didn't know it was stolen? I have to say if I was in the victim's position, my reaction would probably land me in prison for longer than the fraudster.
I'm in this situation so I've been asking around on Blind and what not.

My conclusion is that everyone thinks it's fine to move on. Especially if you can find a pay or title increase, then it's undeniable. I doubled my TC for a job at Amazon and am jumping ship because it's such a mess
Can you absolutely prove 100% that you're acting in good faith?
You can be for reform while at the same time benefiting from the current system. If you don't have power, it doesn't matter what your opinions are. If the playing field isn't level, you still must either play on it or forfeit. If you decide to play, it doesn't mean you want the field to remain as it is.
Amazon gives 1 year of their own warranty on any warehouse item(at least here in UK). But yes, the manufacturer might or might not honour the original warranty separately to this.
Ofcourse no, why do you even think this way? If the job burned you out in a couple of months you shouldn’t even questioning it.
My guess is recording laws probably grew from eavesdropping laws so perhaps in some situations you could setup an eavesdropper to serve as a collaborating witness.

Or they could've attempted to intimidate you while you were in a crowd.

Otherwise it would be on reputation alone, just like now.

this is a good move. from the beginning, the Huawei 5G push was full of cause for suspicion. John C. Dvorak quit PC Magazine [0] after they took down his entirely reasonable (especially for Dvorak lol) 5G-skeptical column [1] and replaced it with a pro-5G column, accessed from the same URL as the deleted column. once covid hit, the narrative shifted further and anyone who was skeptical of Chinese 5G infrastructure in the US and elsewhere elicited responses of "lol you think 5G causes covid, ok Alex Jones lmao." the whole thing was shady from the start and the cries of "conthpirathy theorieth" were extremely odd given that the subject being discussed was the telecommunications infrastructure of the country being replaced/augmented by a new technology from a rival superpower. plus, I don't know about anyone else, but I personally haven't seen an actual use case for 5G to date. and then when you throw in the last administration's Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's remarks at the 2020 National Governors Association with regards to Chinese influence on our States' leadership [2]...

It's also important to remember that security is not merely confidentiality. Kubernetes and docker both assist in availability and integrity through redundancy and (at least for most of its history) the ability to run code by content-addressed cryptographic hashes. And validate other signatures etc.

There are a ton of security mechanisms that are enabled by the ecosystem itself, even if it does introduce new complexities and does have certain weaknesses against full hardware virtualization. It also has significant and meaningful security strengths (namely in availability via lower resource usage) against exclusively using hardware virtualization.

If they clocks were GMT year round in Inverness, sunrise at 0730 today, 0830 come December, 0900 on shortest day.

But under GMT year round sunset in July would be before 2100, which seems a waste when culture has people getting up about 0700 (and if you did shift culture to get up an hour earlier, you'd be up for hours before sunrise in winter).

With Daylight Saving sunrise at 10am not great.

Exactly. And to put it in clearer terms, they have been continuously hacking into Western companies for 20 years and stealing design schematics and counterfeiting them. I'm sure you'd be cool with a Chinese APT rooting your servers and stealing all that you have in your company?
> As an example, how seriously would you take an aircraft flight controls software engineer who willfully chooses to never learn how an airplane flies?

This describes exactly the Boeing and MCAS fiasco. In fact, not only did Boeing hire do this, they outsourced the work overseas. People overseas are capable of doing great work, but they do the work exactly the the spec and nothing more. If you don't have an internal engineering process to account for situations unique to software, there's no way you can ensure that what they deliver is fit for purpose.

> Furthermore, I know a slew of extremely bright, tenacious, and committed young people who are ruthlessly pursuing excellence in engineering.

Those types of kids are going extinct. The kids coming up now are entirely smart-phone raised. An actual computer is an afterthought, they can't even explain what a file is. We're headed for the software engineering dark ages.
