Look, if you prefer this because it saves you going through a battery of interviews, that's your prerogative. But there's no way this scheme benefits the candidate overall.

In what context is that trial week happening? You've already quit your previous job for a chance at this one? If at the end of the week they decide to pass... then what? You're just unemployed?

There are no silver bullets here. Personally I'd rather go through a series of interviews while keeping my job, than end up on the wrong side of a "trial period".
It's potentially almost over thanks in large part to all the people who made the sensible society benefiting decision of taking the vaccine and/wearing a mask when in a non-dining public indoor space.

This is actually how I run my business. So I post threads on Twitter to get attention
https://twitter.com/AdventureMtn/status/1450141976976781312

But I don't care who follows me there.

You will notice the last post I link back to a site that I own and make money from.

I am not advocating building your own Twitter or building your own youtube. Instead I just sell premium versions of what most people would most likely post on Youtube. For example I created a whole video series on a site that I created called gamemarketingideas.com. I charge for that in real dollars not ad revenue or fractions of a cent with affiliate money. I own it. That content could have gone up on youtube but I don't trust a business hosted on the back of Google.

So instead I am basing my revenue on selling it off of a site that I own.

None of this is a perfect libertarian utopia of total self-sustainability. I am 100% not a libertarian. And there is no risk free business.

You just need to reduce risk.

My advice is basically a friendly reminder to be careful with these big tech sharks. Don't put your whole head in the sharks mouth. Instead just put a hand in the sharks mouth. It is less risky that way.

Don't ask me where the shark metaphor is going it is early and I haven't had my coffee yet
In a way - perhaps? If someone doesn't like their name they can change it when they reach adulthood (at least in the US)
The most concise and precise way to write a language is generally in the language itself too.
I agree as a user. As a developer and businessperson though this sounds incredibly entitled - "make great software and give it to me instantly for free. I should get to keep using it and you should get nothing."

Shouldn't it be win/win? Both sides giving something to help each other? Software gets tricky I guess since it's fun to develop, and mere attention or praise is enough for many devs. And ads blur the line of "free". But the level of childish entitlement gets a little depressing sometimes.
The OP is opposed to selling anything, on principle. It's an anti-capitalism magazine.

Why should death row inmates know when they are going to die, when regular people don’t even know when they are going to die?
You're ok with a 1 in 50 chance of dying?

I know that people can have difficulty interpreting probabilities, but given the outcome, you don't think those are really terrible odds? Of course the medicine also has a risk profile but it's clearly much, much lower.

Also it should noted that even when covid doesn't kill you it can have debilitating effects that linger or are permanent.
In Saxony yes, but not in Leipzig. About 50% of my colleagues are foreigners and they all love the city -- it's very international and you can come by with English in most places.

Little caveat obviously: there are also quarters where it's not that simple and you are looked at sideways if you have the "wrong" skin tone -- Grünau, Gohlis-Nord etc. But these are the parts of the city tourists usually don't visit...
Obvious question: who had the lower app id?

Speaking of names is it really true than in Sweden you have to get a baby name approved by some government office

Basically. The Swedish IRS is responsible for keeping the register of all Swedish citizens and they have the power to refuse to register a name. The main rule is you are not allowed to give a child a name that can be seen as provocative, insulting or has a high risk of causing the child problems or humiliation in the future. The core legal principal behind is that parents are not allowed to cause their children potential harm with their choice of name and since the child cannot act their own advocate in this matter, the State has to.

Edit: The other type of name you are not allowed to give are names that are considered 'obvious' last names, as well as names that are primarily titles like "King", "Admiral" or "Captain".

And I found this list of all names that have been rejected over the past few years: https://www.motherhood.se/bebis-och-smabarn/namn-man-inte-fa... (scroll down to "Förnamn som fått avslag hos Skatteverket")

Yeah, we’ve been trying to keep it without calling to any external service. Both of them are optional, excalidraw will work offline and/or with an adblocker that blocks those domains.

That said, those two have been really important for the success of the project. Google Analytics is helpful to get a sense of how important it is to people and motivation for the team. The second one helped us fix a lot of edge cases that couldn’t immediately be found via normal testing.

But being good doesn't equate to being in a team. There are plenty of players who are the best in SoloQ who can't play on a team professionally because they lack the teamwork skills or have toxic personalities. Having leadership skills and game knowledge would let you coach a team or analyze without having to be the best in playing the game.
Too late. Teams has shown that optional features will become mandatory.

Oh come on. India's prime minister has organized race riots that killed thousands. Japan has had the same party in power nationally for 50 years, and the selection of the leadership of the LDP is more important than any election. Literally no South Korean president has ever finished their tenure, they all resigned at some point or another in massive scandals.

None of them share Western values of democracy and human rights. They're all barely democracies. Japan and SK are economically integrated with the West, that's all. If you mean first world country say first world country, that entire liberal values shtick is just ridiculous.
I'm mainly generating map tiles for offline use. I don't want to hit OSM official servers, this is too intensive (and they would probably block me).
Indeed, that was precisely their point, and "bad news for you" is disingenuous as there are many techniques used by incompetent, or just downright unethical and greedy scraper companies which, no matter how robust the target is, can still give it a major headache.

I've witnessed a site being basically DOS'ed due to particularly greedy and aggressive mass scraping attempts.

Also fatigue and shortness of breath are about as "mild" as chronic back pain, i.e. you don't want it. It really isn't something people should dismiss in the same way you shouldn't dismiss moving a piano by yourself. You'll likely be fine, but if you tweak your back you'll live with a constant reminder that you should not have done that.
People in urban areas like yourself only get food from the grocery store, so they naturally treat everything behind that as a black box. You have a learned belief in the “API of the City”, and that’s OK. The API tells you to inject yourself with random concoction that you can’t independently verify and so you do it.

People in rural areas see how food grows directly— from the ground or from livestock. They can get food from the grocery or from their backyard: sometimes the backyard food is fresher and better. These folks don’t trust the “API of the City” to provide for them. That’s OK too. The API tells them to inject themselves with a random concoction that they can’t independently verify and so they refuse.
Have #2 on the way and a short list of names we like, but awesome! Good way to grab new suggestion in the case that one catches my attention more than the names we already like. Also, agree with the your comment elsewhere that this is something to do "when you have a few minutes to kill"
I do think that it is caused by some kind of a glitch in their back-end. They should probably do something about this as soon as possible.

> here are signs that VR headsets can help people or regain stereoscopy, in some cases.

Personal anecdote: I purchased myself a Valve Index ~2 months ago, and have noticed changes in my visual perception after use including limited stereoscopy and general improvements in my binocular fusion (as I said above, my left eye mostly provides limited peripheral vision - but following a VR session I will see my field of view expand on the left side and more of that eye is now being used). At 30 years old this is something I never would have believed possible, especially given it never happened following my two surgeries when I was younger.

Do I think VR is going to restore my limited binocular function to what it would otherwise be at my age? Not with my corrected vision in my left eye being so much worse than my right, full binocular fusion just isn't going to happen (I can force it and it gives me a migraine within minutes).

Do I think there's more than "signs" that it can help people with less severe gaps between their corrected vision (re)gain full binocular fusion and stereoscopy though? If I can see improvements I have no doubt that somebody with a less severe case can get back what they should have had in the first place.
I don't think that's a bait and switch. It's totally possible that the position got filled, and they are still interested in hiring you.

I can see how that would be frustrating on your end, but I wouldn't immediately attribute it to malice.
Well, you don't need an api, just a CSV file with a catalog.

The scraping company WILL use the API/CSV file... they will probably also still charge their customer for scraping, so it's a win-win :D

You can think of it this way, the prices and product data are publicly visible already on the website, there are no real secrets, none of it is password protected.

You can be principled and insist on blocking bots and spend a lot of time and money on tools, people, and ultimately hosting because the bots will always win; or you can offer the data for free/minimal fee and serve it with almost zero cost and cache it so you can do that with a micro sized server.

You can always lie about some of the prices if you want, but you will just encourage bots again.

Ethics are nice, but let's be honest, very lacking. Sometimes it's better to be pragmatic.
Whoa now, don't leave me hanging. What are the benefits of the "Apple ecosystem"? I'm using a Macbook right now because it's tiny and light and has amazing hardware, but once I need to get things done, it's closed and charging. If you have multiple devices, why do they all need to be identical?
I used to lead Sys Eng for a FTSE 100 company. Our data was valuable but only for a short amount of time. We were constantly scraped which cost us in hosting etc. We even seen competitors use our figures (good ones used it to offset their prices, bad ones just used it straight).
As the article suggest, we couldn't block mobile operator IPs, some had over 100k customers behind them. Forcing the users to login did little as the scrapers just created accounts.
We had a few approaches that minimised the scraping:

Rate Limiting by login,

Limiting data to know workflows
...

But our most fruitful effort was when we removed limits and started giving "bad" data. By bad I mean alter the price up or down by a small percentage. This hit them in the pocket but again, wasn't a golden bullet. If the customer made a transaction on the altered figure we we informed them and took it at the correct price.

It's a cool problem to tackle but it is just an arms race.
I don't think that's what they meant by asynchronous api. More likely something along the lines of "schedule a job - 1 fast request" "call me back at my endpoint when the job is finished" (or variations, the gist is you are not stuck waiting for the server response)
New Samuel Adams Beer Contains an Ingredient from Out of This World
> In the following post-war years, the US has succeeded where the Soviet government has failed. Namely, in winning a psychological war and, consequently, in tricking and convincing the Soviet government into a believing that a nuclear conflict was imminent and inevitable. Which has resulted in the economic production nearly in its entirety having been funneled into defence and arms race at the expense of domestic needs. In the hindsight, the Soviet government could have ignored the threat, but they did not. Which was a grave mistake.

Good point, but that doesn't disprove what I've said. US could build tons of weapons because they had resources. And they had resources because the economy was flourishing. USSR economy was subpar.

>A lesser, but not insignificant, factor was the Soviet Union throwing money away at establishing and supporting nascent, Soviet friendly, regimes and proxy wars in the post-colonial world that has not resulted in anything else other than flushing vasts of money down the drain.

True, but US also threw money to support friendly regimes. Just that US could afford it because the economy was in a good state due to it not being owned by the state.

>The state run economy has actually done a very good job at recovering the country's economy in the first two post-WWII decades

It actually didn't. Germany recovered faster, Japan recovered faster and they've been hit very hard.
USSR worked until a point after which it couldn't compete with a market economy. China realized it and allowed people to run businesses.
Hey great comment. Author here. I just responded to this with a new thread at the top.
It's definitely selection bias, influenced by stage, size, and age. My point though is that so is the wider perception that everyone uses React - that's a selection a bias for those who make a lot of noise online, and as I've learnt doing this work, that is actually a much smaller section of the industry than one might think. There are tons and tons of very profitable mid-stage business-to-business software companies out there building stuff in C# and Java, and most of them need some kind of SPA now.

I guess my main point is that I've learnt that there are a lot more companies who find NG a good fit than folks think, but the same factors that make them prefer NG also mean they don't make a lot of noise online. These are firms of principally senior devs in their 30's to 50's, just building shit and taking care of business. I'm not saying they are better, or that NG is better, just that they are out there.

Explanation required. Does the first sentence have any bearing on fusion, and how does it relate the the second?

I mean, I have a generator that produces electricity (it doesn't use fusion). What is the point of having one that uses fusion, but doesn't have net output?
Yeah the sleepiness usually comes from carbs; if I take fibers/protein it feels better.

Maybe anectodal but still, even if I'm physically active the whole day (unless I'm snowboarding with a tshirt 9-17) I really feel better off eating nothing. I feel the urge to eat after physical activity, but not before. If I eat (and I'm not planning to burn 2000+ active calories) I'm still better off on not having any breakfast but just water and perform MUCH better on physical/mental activities.
As have people who didn't get ivermectin.

As have people who didn't get any treatment.

That's why we rely on data from more than one case, to figure out relative effectiveness of different treatment methods.
My point was that we don’t know anything about the control. Age, BMI, health, vaccination status, sex.

The effectiveness is very low.
This is not molnupiravir. That one is mutagenic, (which makes a lot of people skeptical about its use).

Users can tell when developers choose to accomodate themselves rather than improve UX. An upsell isn't just an upsell, it creates mistrust and triggers memories of the thousands of long-gone companies who milked their users for everything they could before abruptly dissappearing.

The requirement that a piece of code make money is a major liability and automatically throws its future into question. It means the metric has changed from "does this solve the problem?" to "does this make enough money?"

When desperate measures are being taken to monetize code, people sensibly run away. Users just want to use tools that work without getting jerked around.
Do you believe that to be some sort of counter-argument or opposing view for anything I said?

I thought this was a dealbreaker until I installed an SSD in my laptop in the mid to late 00s. When my machine is fully graphical in less than 5 seconds, I just didn't care. My browser restored tabs, my editor restored everything, my desktop restored windows. It was a complete non-issue as long as the machine could cold-boot quickly. As an upside, my machine also no longer overheated if I forgot to long press the power off prior to putting it in my backpack.

I configured my current laptop to screen off on lid close and to shutdown after 5 minutes. I'm probably just weird.
Can't wait for this to be bought some day and all the data handed over to my insurance...
> So the problem isn't the autoloader, but Ruby's and PHP single global namespace.

Interesting point and I agree! The thing I like about python and javascript's import system is you import the object that you end of using, creating a namespace as a variable, defined at the top of every source file. This lends itself to traceability which was my primary argument in the post.

I can see how I conflated the global namespace in ruby with automatically loading classes.

Cheers!
>You have to check it's compatible with your OS

Well - as recently as a couple years ago - even if it was a web-based tool, you would have to check which browser was supported.

Things have gotten better now that Microsoft has deprecated the entire IE-chain and moved to Chromium-based Edge. Things "just work".
Thanks for pointing that out, I'd never realised that before.
If you want to continue this analogy, I don't want a 30 year old F1 car. Also, as with old cars there is a bunch of people who are determined everything invented in the last 30 years is stupid, and we should stick with "good old reliable" things.

Most people want a newer car, that's picked up the improvements in safety and performance from the last 30 years.
> My point was that we don’t know anything about the control. Age, BMI, health, vaccination status, sex.

This information will absolutely be part of the FDA's EUA process, and as such, it's a silly idea that Pfizer would've set up a study that doesn't account for these.

> The effectiveness is very low.

Bullshit.
Subramanian Kumar 2021 [1] found that there is no correlation between vaccination rates and new case rates on a country-wide level, or a county-wide level in the United States.

This tracks with Dr. Vanden Bossche's assessment [2] from March of this year that mass vaccination with prophylactic vaccines will actually prolong and worsen the pandemic due to shedding of infectious variants.

That thesis is over-reaching. What I would say, though, is that D&D has such market penetration, it's become like kleenex: the uninitiated cannot think of the concept of a TTRPG without thinking of D&D.

While other TTRPG's are still free to exist, it is much harder to convince a new player to hop on board with anything else (or to even explain to them how there are games very similar to Dungeons and Dragons that aren't Dungeons and Dragons).

It doesn't help that things like the term "DM" are patented by WotC, too.
Would you get on a plane if there was a 1.5% chance of it crashing every time?
That's a great idea! Though I think it would take an awful lot of data-munging to get there. Friends of ours struggled with this exact thing, but with English & French.
I guess my question is what is probable rather than possible or is that a risk that's even addressable to any reasonable degree
