You're comparing mRNA vaccines to traditional vaccines.

Unlikely outcome sure. So is getting autism from a traditional vaccine but the warning still appears on the MMR vaccine insert.
There a reason why vehicle crash testing is done with a vehicle of comparable weight. If the tests of a Mini Cooper were done with your camper van, there's no way they would get a reasonable safety rating.
There's reality. And then there's the popular, authoritatively supported STORY about reality.

Most people seem to prefer the latter.

Truth becomes less about reality and more about power, then. Power is a big deal for most people. Look at popular movies for a clear illustration of that.
Hey, I know this ain't Reddit - but gosh darn you folks make me proud! Both of those links were to the exact videos that I came to my mind as well, and in the same order. Thank you.
Timeline-wise fastcgi was a thing at the same time that in-process interpreters were popular. I remember implementing a dumb polling feature as fastcgi in 1998 or thereabouts.

(We were also running the Netscape web server, because we depended on a plugin for it to insert inventory from our NetGravity ad server. And boy now I feel old.)
I played Stardew Valley for a good while. As far as I can tell though mobile gaming is a failed concept overall. Pixel Dungeon is good if you're looking for a roguelike.

Other than those two it's all mind numbing one button auto scrollers, crappy money extraction attempts, and boredom. The games that actually look good usually suffer from the inadequate input method that is a touch without tactility.

There's a boat racing game that's pretty good too from the people that made Beach Buggy Racing. So I guess there's three games worth playing.
I use FireFox for home browsing, but Chromium dev tools are still far ahead, so Edge is what I use at work.
A few resource settings in .Xdefaults to strip away the 3D look and you can have a Windows 10 aesthetic. Is that not good enough?

Sounds like they have a couple billion in inventory.

No matter how you slice it, they were speculating on housing inflation.
I think painting the contrast:

"kick ass and take names" route vs. the "tread carefully and make sure everyone likes you"

combined with the wrecking ball idea just paints a picture of someone who is grinding to get their work done but not worried about their relationships with or the collateral damage they cause for their coworkers. Reading your other comments I don't think it was your intent, just the way it came off to me at first blush.
Yeah it was useless, I sorted by chronological order but I didn't stay using facebook long and used it for hours for a few days every few months to do something, but I deleted it. They needed me, I never needed them, they need you, you don't need them.

Hard to believe they don’t have MLS access. The listings on Zillow go up essentially at the same time my realtor has gotten them through the MLS, so they must have an automated way of pulling the info…
Is there something about being made in a factory that makes things unhealthy? Are all things that are made in a factory unhealthy (factory farming, factory packaged salads, etc).

Anyway, the article was not about any of that. It was about a nutritional model describing how excess carbohydrates and low glycemic index foods would be more likely to result in obesity.

None of that has anything to do with whether the food was processed, made in a factory, or packaged for convenience. Yet all are reasonable conclusions from the title. The only information in the title is effectively that "there may be a good that is bad for you".

Naming isn't very language-specific though [*], and poor naming should be flagged in coding interviews. Any Google engineer should generally have good naming, and should be able to critique others' naming in any language.

[*] Granted there are some language-specific naming conventions, like ! and ? in Ruby methods. But I'd say the majority of languages don't have important naming conventions, and those that do often have lints for them.
You sound like these guys from high school I once knew justifying their cocaine use. Saying things like “it makes me way more social” “I am not shy when I do cocaine”. Don’t forget almost all off the feel good drugs once you stop you have to come down and when that dopamine runs out your day feels like shit and all that fun you had is buried with regret and depression. Yes people can have fun but if we added all the fun trips vs bad trips would we as a society see it as a net gain? I have been on a train with a drug user lost out of their mind swearing and threatening people. So if you are counting all the fun drugs have brought you need to count those also.
Yeah but that has to be a side gig, not perfect but it's pretty common for humans to not be perfect. You have to believe he loves stand up comedy, loves the UFC, is blown away by the success of the podcast, and generally loves life. That doesn't leave time to get the Onnit topic quite right.
Most likely it was writing text and attribute data directly to video memory. You didn't even need to call into the BIOS to do that shit (though the BIOS may have helped from a convenience standpoint to set the video mode).

I guess that is true if you do not care about the broader world.
Thanks for the more reputable source. TIL. I'll admit I didn't know about the per-pupil expenditure stats, and probably was just regurgitating something I had heard. This gives me something to research into.

Still, I find this to be a superfluous detail in relation to the point I was making. The fact remains that,

> "The authors find that when Black students are increasingly concentrated in separate school districts from White students in the same state, total revenue shifts in a way that disfavors the typical Black student’s district, even after controlling for racial differences in poverty."

which is the point I was referencing. No one needs statistics to be convinced that social status coincides very closely with race in the US. So either 1) there are a series of systemic issues at play responsible for the pattern, or 2) there is something inherent about certain races which determines their social status relative to other races. Given that 2 is the definition of racial bias and racism, 1 must be where we find ourselves.
I know you don’t want to install an extension but for the benefit of others, my solution was to install the Copy as Markdown extension¹ which provides all tabs in current window as a list of Markdown links. It suits me because I often like to take notes and save them as Markdown – as well as providing a backup list of open tabs (one list per window).

How powerful money is. Within 30 days of being bought (dot com bubble endgame), 30% of our company (mostly really cool graphic artists) were laid off. A year and a half later, we were all pissing on the bricks, dragging useless equipment out of the building (stealing), driving home for the last time. Money (and the folks who will do anything for it) sucks, and there needs to be some kind of replacement for it.

Recently had an appraisal for refinance. The appraiser's estimate was <5% increase from the 16 months earlier when we purchased even though we bought during March 2020 at the height of uncertainty and at a substantial discount.

The reason? No comparable homes that were recently sold AND available via MLS (private sales are ignored). The rules for appraisals breakdown when there is no liquidity. At least Zillow still considered private sales. The Zestimate was much more correct than the "expert" appraiser.
hey, just an fyi. I believe we definitely reached the $500 during the 48 hours. Not sure if you matched it yet, but even if you don't get a chance to, thank you for helping us get donations :)
> I spent time explaining what I meant by each of these, relating them to the mathematical definition of the input and how the output matched that.

You only mentioned fonts and what you mentioned was only true about vector fonts without any hinting information (which is what allows fonts to be displayed as the designer intended on fixed grid output like a pixel grid). It is not true for vector fonts with hinting information nor about bitmap fonts.

And what your issue really was was about the binary-only representation, which basically means that what you wanted is subpixel accuracy - ie. introducing antialiasing. This is something that is actually subjective as many people (me included, as i already wrote) prefer the binary approach.

And indeed while you are right about the very specific case of how vector fonts are displayed without enough precision, even when a font renderer does allow for subpixel precision many people prefer to alter the output from what the designer would do for -in their opinion- better results: this is one of the oldest differences between people preferring Mac OS X's font rendering (no alterations) over Windows rendering (alterations to make fonts look sharper). Many font rendering setups you'll find on Linux provide control over this too and while you can objectively say which setup would be more "correct", what exactly looks better is down to the user.

Anyway, this was all about a specific case of font rendering and nothing else.

> If you wanted to, you could probably write a function to quantise how the output for different renderers diverged from the input. CDE would not do well compared to modern systems like macOS.

CDE is not a renderer, it uses Motif and Xlib (and perhaps xcb in places) for its graphics.

> Do you think CDE is making an intentional stylistic choice to render text in this way? Or do you think it doesn't have the functionality to render it with more fidelity to the font definition?

CDE uses Motif and Xlib, Motif does have the ability to render antialiased text via Xft which uses FreeType which is pretty much what most other toolkits use to perform font rasterization.
Intelligence just means spotting patterns faster. If you're intelligent but "detail oriented", that just means you'll end up coming up with a brilliant solution to the wrong problem.

In a Dungeons and Dragons character, knowing to vet one's sources would be an example of "Wisdom". And I think that's probably the right word for it in conventional speech as well.
Not to mention:

Advances. No not for the big celebrity writers doing memoirs/biographies. Those are already out of the realm of imagination for indies.

It’s the advances given to up-and-comers out of the MFAs, and the advances given to professors teaching at said programs. An indie book house will not be able to front 100k to an author for a book in the way the big 4 does (funded in part by the celebrity books they sell).
Retention is another beast, the issue is that it can also backfire even if they offer to match they might be looking for your replacement already especially if you are a “key employee”.

And if they don’t then you really have to be ready to leave.

Overall I personally try to avoid leveraging offers and make a case based on my performance and the current market.

> Have you worked at a team outside of Google?

Many

> Lets take a project you would give to one junior engineer at Google, at a typical large company they would give that to a team of 5

This statement lacks any sort of basis for the 1:5 Google:Non-Google staffing ratio you are quoting. I'm not sure where you are getting it. Even though I work there, I don't think Google engineers are 5x as "effective" as a typical engineer at another large company, they just often deal with problems specific to Google's technology and scale.

If anything, large companies like Google can afford to staff their projects with a deeper bench than smaller companies - in part to mitigate burnout caused by being overworked, but also to maximize knowledge sharing and minimize knowledge silos. It's not a good thing if only the person who wrote a system understands how the system works.

> and then they would need to communicate and talk a lot with each other how to get that project done, all that communication disappears when you work like Google does.

That's not my experience at all at Google. It's the opposite: engineers at all levels communicate and talk a lot with each other to get a project done. In fact, we rely on these conversations heavily to validate our ideas and get constructively critical feedback on our approach. It's wired into the process, from design documents through to code reviews. Very often these can require F2F communications and even negotiations when engineer-time is a constrained resource. So I'm not sure what you mean by "work like Google does".
Taxes are costs, and costs are fungible.
The problem is not necessarily unfriendliness (trustworthiness is harder to define so I'll not concentrate on this one first), it is more generally causing wrongs to others.

Of course on the friendly/unfriendly side, that could be by insulting them. But I'm not sure people asking for friendly colleagues actually have that restrictive definition in mind; some may quickly also require regular encouragements, small talks about your life, etc. Except if you are a social worker, that may not be part of your job description. If you have the feeling that helps and are inclined to do so, of course good for you. But this kind of matter, beyond professionalism that can be expected from anybody, should be considered as completely neutral.

Causing wrongs to others could also be by breaking the systems of 30 coworkers (or even production) by not caring enough to test before deploying. Mild incompetency may not even really be a problem if you don't randomly chose to skip testing because you... I don't even know? trust your preferred deity that they have blessed the software this day? (of course particular situations need to be taken into account e.g. if the testing is expensive while the only breakage reasonable to expect is very easy to repair, then maybe go on, warn people, fuck the tests and deploy)

That may be covered by trustworthiness. However at one point it is called doing your job, and skipping testing because you randomly feel it is OK could and should be a gross fault in some contexts -- and is maybe too rarely. That can be an honest mistake the first time for very junior people -- for others, it is simply not doing parts of your job with the expectation of a lower effort if things go well, and from an individual pov maybe mostly externalities if things go wrong.

So yeah, it is better if you have colleagues who you can trust will care to actually do their job. I would not like a plane pilot who randomly say "fuck the checklist today, I've been flying for 10 years I know how to do it". I would not like an editor who suddenly sends manuscripts directly to the printer because the author usually don't make too many typos. Etc. And then, on top of that: being professional is a must (but people are humans so they can occasionally be pissed off too, hey maybe esp. if others are untrustworthy all the time...); being friendly is a plus.

Counterpoint: who is racializing the police? It’s these articles and news reports claiming that “Twitter is abuzz over white cop blah blah”. Meanwhile it’s all of two tweets that are “abuzz” and it’s unclear if the author didn’t just plant the two themselves.

Instead of “deracialize the police”, how about “no more Twitter-sourced articles”?
Decriminalization is a fairly marginal step away from the status quo and is nothing like true legalization with the inherent distribution, social acceptance etc..
They did overlap in existence, but at least in my world, nsapi/fastcgi connections to a pooled app server wasn't as popular until later. I think because in the beginning, both nsapi and fastcgi rolled out with commercial, non-free web servers. There wasn't a free fastcgi capability for Apache until 1999 or so, where mod_perl was around since 1996, I think.

Yes, for alcohol in particular (maybe theres also a parallel with cigars) there is the whole other dimension that it's an important part of food, gastronomy or whatever you'd call it. If I get wine pairings with my meal, it has almost nothing to do with intoxication, it's about opening up the senses and adding to what I'm eating. That puts alcohol, as it is normally used, in a very special category compared to ther drugs.

An Indian speaking impeccable English while being perfectly intelligible but with the distinct Indian accent - “ughh, you’ve a funny accent”. Behind the backs that ughh often becomes yikes.
Can you elaborate on what makes you think environmental factors are affecting the supply chain?

I designed and implemented the back half of a caregiver facing "portal", working hand in glove with our people making the front half. And I prototyped what became our patient facing portal (think MyChart). And I wrote a medical image viewer.

We were first to market, had customers that loved us, making money.

Then our product team was sold to MedPlus (Quest Diagnostics). Who promptly destroyed all of our work.

I'd already been thru a handful of acquisitions beforehand (both sides), so I knew what to expect. The Golden Rule. He who has the gold makes the rules.

Even so, as a patient, stuff like Epic, Cerner, MyChart, etc. fills me something like despair, rage, hopelessness.

Just today, reviewing my scripts, during a visit, yet again... The hospital's list of scripts for me is wrong. Again. Despite being manually corrected every time I visit.

I know PRECISELY how and why it's wrong. Because I fixed those exact queries myself, back when the hospital had been one of our customers. Over a decade ago.

So aggravating.

As you can guess, a new CTO had come in with grand ideas and ambition to match, threw away their predecessor's work (including our product), and brought in Epic.

Same as it ever was, I suppose.
