Pair programming. I know of no better way to level up engineers. The more senior of the pair is also often learning too, especially if you rotate pairs so that the inexperienced one has recently picked something up from another senior.

And if anyone's concerned about a drop in capacity, I invite giving it an honest go and seeing for yourself. Whatever is thought to be lost is more than made up for in quality, reduction of miscommunication and building the wrong thing less often. Another big boost is the ability to maintain a 'flow context' despite interruptions, as well as much less 'down time' not moving in any direction. Some individual quiet thinking time does need to be reserved though.
So Excel spreadsheets were deployed on mobile devices? What about the runtime?

Sure. It was meant as an exaggerated joke, but I mean the point (with a bad example). You would probably need to write some VBA to query the excel doc, which is not easier then using SQL.
It's oddly not as common as I'd have expected, though.

If you put Apple on your hardware product's critical path, they may capriciously change their app store rules at some point to invalidate your whole product or business model.

If you put Google on your hardware product's critical path, they may just get bored of supporting whatever Google product(s) you are using, and kill your whole product or business model without even realizing they're doing it.

These companies should be treated as forces to be reckoned with, not (just) as friends to partner with.
I would guess most people aren't doing anything like that. If you are just running a basic site and database you don't need a GPU.
So no forced vaccinations?

It's also wrong to force people to wear clothes in public?

Is it wrong to discourage someone from lying?

What if someone doesn't see the edge of a cliff and are about to step over it? Would you pull them back from it?
No binding arbitration clause? Psh.
I’m pretty picky about trackpads and the XPS 13 is as good as my Late 2013 Macbook Pro, or even better. (The MacBook trackpad was only good in macOS, the windows/linux drivers were never as good)

Its large enough, no accidental registrations due to palm and the right click is actually physical (which I find better than the Macbook’s double finger right-click tap).
Say, like package maintainers do for major Linux distributions ?
Never updating and always updating are just two different ways of sticking your head in the sand
Huh, if all people working in pharma are complicit with big evil, what is your alternative?

No one should work in pharma?
I don't care about your opinion the same way you don't care about mine. Making a vague comment about disliking someone is a lot less damning than being specific about why I don't like him, and unfortunately I can't really get into that without doxxing myself and frankly it isn't worth the hassle anyway. If you want to write me off as worthless then go for it. It seems you already have, that's fine.
Many people live in mental prison and because they don't know any better, they fear change. They fear that, perhaps they lived majority of their life trapped and only their own ignorance kept them in the cage. They fear to admit that to themselves, they fear the feeling they lost their life to easily preventable pain and misery.
Both are authoritarian, just depends on if you like left vs right wing authoritarianism.

Texas more strongly limits the drugs you can put in your body.
Limits access to abortions.
etc...

California limits guns, has vaccine mandates.
Limits smoking in your own condo. etc...
I might be the only one that likes this t440s style trackpad. I have no desire to mod it. I love that you physically click it. Coming from a macbook, I was at first baffled that apparently you can’t rest your thumb on it while moving the cursor, but I quickly got used to that. And now I can’t stand macbook trackpads!
Dan published an updated version of that paper here: https://smalltalkzoo.thechm.org/papers/EvolutionOfSmalltalk....

Would be great if you could cite that one next time. The main improvement for me is not being deadnamed. There are other corrections as well.
Under Texas franchise laws, consumers can only buy cars from auto dealers and can’t buy them directly from automakers.

As it stands in the Lone Star State, Tesla’s company-owned outlets can’t legally sell a Tesla in Texas. This is even more hilarious given they are building the Cybertruck in Texas.
What do you think happened there? Did the decision-makers never try using the product before it was manufactured? Were the stakeholders shown the "final product" on some high-powered prototype device?

This is one increasingly frustrating aspect of math and so-called hard sciences in general: there is an explosion of content since - say - the 18th century that it has become increasingly hard to actually find if and where there exists published work on a specific topic.

Google is of course a tremendous help, but:

a) the web has not yet absorbed all scientific literature: between walled gardens and stuff that hasn't been scanned yet, content is still hard to get to or even index

b) different scientific fields are often busy re-inventing the wheel, assigning their own jargon to the same underlying concepts, leading to a rather confusing landscape.

In the "old days", we had librarians, folks who could guide you towards that elusive piece of knowledge you desperately needed.

Wishful thinking: I believe a new academic discipline to classify, organize and index scientific knowledge (I'm aware of existing systems - they are lacking, as exemplified by this article), including missionary-style undertaking to try and convince different branch of sciences to gently and slowly converge towards a uniform language for scientific knowledge.
I think you spelled "AI Agents by DoorDash" incorrectly.
They could also attack metadata parsers next - I don't think those are very hardened right now.
I've worked for a bank, let's just say that I can't agree with that. A US bank at that.

I just noticed:

It makes perfect sense once you understand that the system is not about truth, justice, etc. It's about forcing conforming to societal expectations and holding on to or expanding the power society has delegated to them.
The ones who are ill trained and ill prepared for the task of sailing ships and submarines without crashing them into the sea floor or other ships, are incapable of responding to fires on board, etc.
This confirms Andrew Pollard's statement that there will be no significant herd immunity effect.

It’s rational argument especially now that we know vaccinated people spread this endemic virus.

Your mindset should be: everyone is going to get this, probably multiple times in your life, vaccines reduce the symptoms, but not as effectively as having survived covid.
The antiviral mechanism of Ivermectin involves the inhibition of nuclear transport by importin α/β1 in the host. It can and has lead to death when improperly dosed.
No, because that's stupid.

Online activation and tracking number of installs per license seems to work just fine. And there's something to be said for "risk" as a "cost of doing business". I mean, we certainly pay for imagined risk (insurance, healthcare, legal fees, warrantees, cost of customer support, etc. all factored into product cost).
> Why is it ok to say some kid are one standard deviation below the curve and need special class and teacher.

Because it doesn't offend the families of the average children, who make most of the population.
I think this goes a bit deeper to the actual benefit of decentralised platforms (and open protocols). When the major player in the space goes haywire there is an option to leave.

Using Twitter as an example - they are going to be purposefully and continuously ejecting users. As long as the users are people who nobody wanted to listen to anyway then that is fine.

But the situation changes because sooner or later (potentially already happened) Twitter will eject actual community leaders and a community will need to reform somewhere else.

When that happens, open protocols and open platforms will help the community reform. It is quite hard to stop a community reforming on the internet for example because there are so many parallel communication channels that are basically free. So using Twitter isn't much of a risk because if they go bad then the community can reasonably move somewhere else.

People seem to expect "decentralised" leads to some sort of semi-utopia where everyone has equal status or act like some sort of saintly community driven by consensus. I don't see how it can work that way. It really just makes it easier to transfer power when the currently powerful start acting abusively.
I highly recommend the documentary "Fantastic Fungi" [1] (2019) to anyone interested in this topic. Can be viewed on Netflix. It will give you a good sense of what's driving the interest in this field.

Apart from talking to people, I think he read a lot of bank annual reports and spent time on forums dedicated to helping people get redress from banks.
Interesting title. Took me a bunch of tries to parse it, thinking of the movie E.T. at first. When I finally got the grammar sorted, it was basically a TL;DR missing the story.
Job titles are lies used to manipulate pay scales.
To get to 90%+, Apple had to present their users with a forced choice. The majority of users might prefer not to be tracked if they're put on the spot and required to give an answer, but how many would actually go to the trouble of changing a default?
I lost my mom to cancer when she was only 40 years old.

She went through 2 surgeries, multiple rounds of chemo, radiation therapy, the the whole nine yards and this went on for three years (she was in remission for a year).

Anyway, based on my experience, cancer is bullshit. That being said, you _can_ live with it. You have to remember that for a loving mother, you're her light and hope and this means that now it's time to pull up your sleeves and get to work.

Take her to all the appointments, get her all the medications she needs, take her for walks (cancer has good days and bad) and give her healthy food and the treats you know she likes. Watch movies and do silly stuff to make her laugh. Look over family pictures and tell her about your future plans.

Don't be upset if she acts differently around you, your job is to make her feel protected and cared for.

Cancer is the ultimate poison in life but you're breathing life into her and having your company warms her heart. Don't give cancer an inch because fuck that disease.

As I'm typing this, I would give up everything I have right now to spend another second with my mom because let me remind you that nothing and I mean nothing is more precious than the bond you have with your family. Screw "daily tasks" at work, all the money in the world will not replace your mom.

The primary reasons people choose a residence are price and location. Method of payment is probably not even in the top hundred reasons on the list.
Then you have the issue of people continuing to spread it to those who can't take a vaccine, including the immunocompromised.

There is also the worry of the effects of long covid. Just yesterday I was reading a thread on here of people complaining about experiences of their loved ones with long term covid after effects not being able to find relief from doctors because, well, we still don't even know what causes it. Better to avoid an infection that let a virus ravage through your body hoping medication can reverse all the effects on the body
"Occasionally I leave the Bay Area and am astounded by the degree to which other people like to have Big Government dictate their personal lives. Texas, for instance, blew my mind."

Your priors probably need updating as natural immunity as the OP describes appears to be much more robust, esp compared to the J&J after a year. Also vaccinated people spread delta, so everyone is getting it on some time scale.

Right there with you. Last I checked, LSD has been extremely scarce since Hardison got snapped up in 2005. Even if you can get your hands on the stuff (or any of the drugs mentioned for that matter), there's still no guarantee that what you're getting is what the dealer says it is.

Without googling I’m betting that political science professors make less money than physicians, especially if those experts were surgeons. If your expert testimony required billionaire expert witnesses I’d bet their hour fees would be substantially more than a surgeons.
The U.S is probably uniquely excessive when it comes to McMansions and overall bigness of everything. You don't get affordable giant places in either country though if you live in a dense urban centre.
I guess enterprise Linux subscriptions are such a tax, right ?

It pays for Red Hat/SUSE/Canonical to maintain and old stable version CVE free for you, so you don't have to update so often.
Are foreign clinical trials meaningless for FDA approval? I only have knowledge from news stories, but I seem to recall oxycontin using sketchy foreign trials to get approval.
I hope that's a joke because sitting in front of a screen isolated at home isn't a replacement for experiencing a play live. I've played enough online chess during the pandemic for a lifetime, I want to sit in a club with a beer and my friends over a physical board having face-to-face conversations, there's no online replacement for that. And in a city that is always only 15 minutes away by foot and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
> WHEN it breaks something that is your fault for being so stupid.

Sorry, this one raises my hackles. It's exactly such a user-hostile worldview that makes everything suck. It's just more victim-blaming and elitist tongue clicking that helps absolutely no one.

Everyone is stupid when it comes to software. There are hundreds of millions, if not billions, of lines of code, written by tens of thousands of different people, with myriad internal and external complexity, all breaking and falling apart at the same time. It is literally beyond human comprehension all the niggling details that could go wrong.

I whole-fist pushback against this "oh you should know what you are doing with metric asstons of other people's code". Uh, no. That's the attitude of unserious people who want to ship garbage and make it users' problem.
Honestly of it keeps people out of hospitals, that’s good enough for me. Overwhelming the healthcare system seems like the worst case scenario.

If the processor faults for an invalid instruction, it can simply trigger a migration to another core. The OS should be able to do it.

Even if it's randomly assigned to a different core, eventually the process will end up on a good one.
But this makes absolutely no sense. Plenty of previously approved drugs, such as anticoagulants and dexamethasone, are part of the current standard of care; and their effectiveness has unambiguously been borne out by the data with multiple independent studies / analyses that all agree.

So why are THEY for these but against ivermectin?

Of course the whole idea of THEY is nutty. The idea that there is this level of coordination / cooperation among pharma companies is ridiculous enough to be the punchline of a joke.
“The most statistically significant data point is that vaccinated people certainly have a faster rate of viral decline,” said Ferguson, “so they may potentially be infectious for less time, but they don’t necessarily have any reduced peak of viral load. Most transmission probably happens around that peak of viral load, which is why we think we’re still seeing substantial transmission rates from vaccinated people, both to unvaccinated people and to other vaccinated people.”

I recently built a machine with a couple of beams, a Hall effect switch, heater, thermocouple and a couple of badass stepper motors with external controllers.

Wrote my whole stack in C# / Winforms and deploy to a Mono running on a Raspberry Pi 4.

UI runs on main thread and is purely viewing and event generation. On a background thread, I have a homegrown cooperative multitasking state machine driven kernel that handles all interaction with the machinery. Works awesome. Plenty of CPU to spare. And event response is < 5ms typically, which is based on the timer interval.

Only two downsides, only printf debugging. I gave up after a couple of days of following SO and various tutorials on how to get the remote Mono / .NET debugger working. Maybe if I switch to WPF…but I avoided that because the Interface Designer for VS was half-baked (and sucked) at the time.

Second downside, some weird point map scaling variation between the Interface Designer and Mono placing with the window under the WM. I worked around by incorporating a build script to parse the source of the form and write out an initialization routine to fix the size and location of all screen elements. It’s definitely sketchy but it works.

The end result says it all though. My UI and responsiveness beats the snot out of machines we’ve spent multiple $100K on that run Win Embedded + PLC architecture.
No, I’m not. You’re citing notorious disinformation sites whose anonymous creators are relying on you seeing big numbers and not noticing the problems with methodology and analysis. When actual experts look at those studies, the results have not held up.

> Different websites (such as https://ivmmeta.com/, https://c19ivermectin.com/, https://tratamientotemprano.org/estudios-ivermectina/, among others) have conducted meta-analyses with ivermectin studies, showing unpublished colourful forest plots which rapidly gained public acknowledgement and were disseminated via social media, without following any methodological or report guidelines. These websites do not include protocol registration with methods, search strategies, inclusion criteria, quality assessment of the included studies nor the certainty of the evidence of the pooled estimates. Prospective registration of systematic reviews with or without meta-analysis protocols is a key feature for providing transparency in the review process and ensuring protection against reporting biases, by revealing differences between the methods or outcomes reported in the published review and those planned in the registered protocol. These websites show pooled estimates suggesting significant benefits with ivermectin, which has resulted in confusion for clinicians, patients and even decision-makers. This is usually a problem when performing meta-analyses which are not based in rigorous systematic reviews, often leading to spread spurious or fallacious findings.

> Meta-analysis/observational studies (https://ivmmeta.com) are circulating in the scientific community and over the Internet, demonstrating the efficacy of IVM during the pandemic. However, most of the listed references fail to provide adequate methodologies, making them difficult to be validated. Major limitations include, small sample sizes, doses and frequency of IVM use, open-label studies, in which neither the participants nor the investigators were blinded to the treatments, the use of concomitant medications in addition to IVM, assuming that the efficacy resulted from IVM (https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/antiviral-the...).
Sadly security by blacklisting always turns into a game of whack-as-mole. If there’s an unavoidable need for an install script that may be a case to mature the facilities a package manager offers rather than requiring packages to run arbitrary code.
In all fairness, there's not much evil here. Yes the games try to ensure that you're playing a paid-for game. It only happens to be mistaken that your different kinds of cores are all the same machine so one paid game is all that should be needed. The software used by the games to do its DRM has nothing to do with Intel and needs a fix is all which I expect will be coming soon.
Yes, that's valid, though it isn't about increasing the cost of attacking (what my comment was about).

Just my own one little bit of anecdata, but I credit my handful of youthful psychedelic experiences with having shown me that it was possible to feel anything BUT anxious and depressed and afraid of the world.

As a young dude with a lot of childhood trauma, it was revelatory and profound to feel peace for a day, to feel the world flow around me with a sense of joy and acceptance.

Hard to say how this will all play out in the coming years, but I am excited to see this stuff getting at least a proper chance at being used to help damaged souls in a therapeutic environment.
Retailers do track spend based on payment type. It was the case several years ago that people who paid with credit cards tended to spend more and buy higher margin items than other payment types.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but if it is, then that is one situations where accepting credit cards pays for itself.

It is helpful to keep in mind that different businesses can pay wildly different fees for CC transactions. Walmart can sell you a $0.50 item for basically nothing, while a corner market might be better off if you stole it instead. So Walmart might absolutely want everyone to use credit cards while the corner market would likely prefer nobody did.
