I was thinking January 11th vs November 1st. Maybe their "date" doesn't need/support day-of-month? Or they typod and I should just focus on my work.
I don't have a large sample set, but from what I HAVE seen is that most of these surveys are run with altrustic motivations/intentions, but simply do not change anything.

In the worst cases, providing critical feedback can be a CLM. Causing problems for your manager/s generally doesn't help you get more money. You end up seen as the problem, rather than a symptom or victim of the problem. This is partly, of course, because your average line manager doesn't actually have power to change anything, just to manage you, their peers, and their managers.
My favorite filename special character bug was when I implemented CD ripping in 2005, and one of our beta testers ripped a CD with a song called "Have You Ever?". My code wasn't prepared to filter out the question mark on Windows.
No, it's just a self recomandation after eating about three times that amount and doing some blood tests. My LDL was almost twice their guidelines. YMMV. Nutritionists recommed twice to four times that intake (1..2 tbsp or 14..28 g/day).

There's no need for it to be networked. Modern cars already are starting to gain in-vehicle gaze detection. It could be confirmed when you get your regular car inspection that the system is still working.
Mobile is a challenge for all these PKM systems, esp capture but also retrieval. Luckily most knowledge work is still done with a big screen.

This is the same form of false banner under which apple is deciding your photos and your phone are no longer your private property. The ultimate goal is centralized monitoring, surveillance, and control. They are barely trying to disguise it anymore.
I don't understand the rationale? I spend a lot of time (probably more than I should) on YouTube, since it's full of interesting videos that teach me new skills. My experience has been that mass dislikes only happens on videos that are 1. bad quality in multiple dimensions 2. false / misinformation 3. politically contentious. For most videos, they have a positive like/dislike ratio, and you can use this as a strong signal about quality on the topic in the description/title.

I fundamentally disagree with the idea that a dislike is "harassment" or an "attack". This really reads to me like Google is upset by the politically contentious videos that do get ratioed, and this is politically motivated on their part. Generally speaking, YouTube content creators trend left on US political issues, but YouTube's audience reflects the mainstream and trends slightly to the right on US political issues, which means that left-leaning politically contentious videos tend to get ratioed, and that includes left-adjacent issues that aren't strictly political but have been politicized.

Either YouTube is a place for creators to put themselves out there and engage with their audiences... or it's another place that is corporately whitewashed to be as inoffensive (and thus uninteresting and shallow) as possible. Historically it's been the former, and I see this as another in a long string of moves by Google to turn it into the latter... despite that being exactly what people fled from when they started spending more hours watching YouTube than they did television. It seems Google doesn't know or doesn't care what their audiences actually want.

> One time there was a thread about a new movie, most people liked it but he simply said "I just left the theater a few hours ago, I didn't really dig it" he was immediately banned for "trolling" simply for sharing his opinion.

One of the best things about the moderation culture at SA was that they came down hard on facile, thoughtless half-posts like the one you describe. It tended to result in vibrant threads full of people who actually had something to say.

I've never driven a Corvair, but I've owned a 1965 Triumph Spitfire that has a very similar transverse leaf spring swing axle rear suspension setup. Most of the time its fine, but when pushing the car, the setup definitely could cause snap oversteer that, if you're not expecting it, could be dangerous. But its not like other suspension setups can't do the same thing, and the addition of a camber compensator makes the issue pretty much go away.
Writing as someone who uses mind maps as part of my kit, I empathize with your comment. For my purposes, I've found that it helps to focus the map around a specific objective, project, etc. If I'm preparing a paper or presentation, it's helpful to see how the content can be structured, what can be pruned and what relationships between concepts there are. For project work or other objectives, I find them to be helpful in tracking and guiding learning.

FWIW, I use iThoughts across a couple of different devices. It's been around for a while now and has a good mix of usability and functionality.
First, it's not a romanticized view.

Second, it's odd that you feel the need to say negative things about Japan to "counter" someone who points out Japanese achievements. Like, what exactly is your problem with Japan that you are bothered when someone says something positive about it? Has Japan hurt you somehow?

If someone points out the achievements of say, France, do you also feel the need to jump in and point out negative things about France and to minimize their achievements? They also have great cuisine, a great history of excellence in the arts and sciences. Does that statement need to be "countered" with something?
many job postings list a CS degree as a requirement

Realistically, certain types of programming positions probably do require some kind of CS degree, but as somebody who pathologically learns I haven't found my lack of degree to be an issue in the last 25 years of my career.

Should you go to university / code bootcamp / learn on your own? I would evaluate how you enjoy learning. If you are a cover-to-cover learner, you might consider going back to school. If you enjoy a bit if instruction and then you'd like to jump in, consider 1-2 bootcamps (you'll probably learn different things from each). If you're a bit of a self-starter, go to a bookstore (or Youtube) and focus on getting the basics of a language down (like Java, Python or C#) -- and see where you want to go from there.

Your Javascript / PHP / MySQL skills probably haven't stagnated as much as you think.

You've already got the right hobbies to make this interesting and easier for you -- you got this.
Having dealt with VCs, I'm kind of confused by this comment. In my experience, they do not delve deeply into the tech. I'm guessing this is because most of their portfolio companies fail for non-technical reasons. They mostly assume that if you're pitching it, you can build it.

To me it sounds like they were not convinced that the product would have any selling points over existing tech. Would this type of device save any money? Another thing that may have happened is that perhaps the pitch was heavily focused on the tech and it made their eyes glaze over.

I'm still not sure what difference is between 'no-code' and just using software. If I create a workflow in Jira I wouldn't say I'm creating no-code software, I'd describe that as just 'using' or 'managing' Jira.
I hate reading about macro-economics on HN because there will be an incredibly informative post like yours that I read and everything kind of makes sense. Then it will be immediately followed up with a response that is equally eloquent explanation of why the situation is actually the exact opposite of everything you wrote.

I always end up closing these tabs more confused than I was before.
Think of the extra-global supply chain disruptions that are possible though. We're talking easier to disrupt than a ship going sideways through a canal.
You can voluntarily pay extra income taxes. That money goes into the general fund and is used to pay for actual programs, such as servicing interest on the $28T national debt and invading other countries.

As has been pointed out already, this is yet another round of an old paradigm. Just like every other shortcut (looking at you, frameworks) it comes down to LEGOs (or Minecraft). As long as you are satisfied with blocks world, they are great. As soon as you need a curved surface or a different color, you are out of luck. There's also that detail that someone has to write all that code so you don't have to.

I don't even mind that there are morons out there who think this kind of business model works. Hell, if you're dumb enough to realize that even hyper-competitive companies like Amazon can't make restaurant delivery work, but still want to invest in Doordash, go ahead.

What REALLY gets my goat is how much mental real estate these wannabe entrepreneurs get.

Personally, I joined the tech industry because I was more inspired by the smaller, incremental innovations that generated value. Something like CRT TVs becoming razor thin, or mobile phone cameras overtaking traditional cameras in resolution, or the Apple M1 chip/ARM, THAT was what I used to think of when I thought "Innovation".

However, smart people around me these days, they have no interest in actually doing hard, innovative things. The definition of "smart" today, is actually to raise a bunch of VC money and get a "net worth". And that makes sense, doesn't it? Why work hard, when you can "generate" "billions" of value with just a Powerpoint slide deck?

The end result of all this is that people actually get discouraged from doing the hard work and actually generating real value! Yeah, why should I spend time understanding Supply Chain basics, or studying Operations Research theory? Why should I actually come up with an improved heuristic for Travelling Salesman? Let me just make a shiny Powerpoint, and head on into my first VC meeting.
>If you said a week ago that Moderna may be a bit more dangerous for under-35s, most people would have called you an anti-vaxxer as a knee-jerk reaction.

Only idiots, rational people would say

for sure the risk for vaccine A is not exactly equal with B for each individual, and that person would ask for real data and not some speculation for a youtubger that bearly finished high-school or some fake news website shared on Facebook.

Just to remind people, the risk for X complication is just a number , you always need to remember that the risk might be smaller for you (or larger) but it might be much larger for someone in your family/friends so don't forget the otehrs when you try to pretend you know how to calculate your own risks,

Something I've been wondering is in what region(s) Ebikes are becoming popular - it seems to be mostly the UK, East Asia, and maybe some larger coastal US cities.

Hopefully this will (in the US) lead to cities taking the idea of low-speed vehicles more seriously, which are a good fit for medium-density US cities with room for putting in grade-separated paths. For a bonkers example of how it isn't all that hard in moderately wealthy US new development, see Tom Scott's video "The City of Golf Carts" [1] which describes the Atlanta suburb of Peachtree.

> If my risk of dying from myocarditis caused by a vaccine is 1%

It isn't.

Even if it were an identical 1% and 1%, the answer to:

> which risk should I take?

would then involve other variables, like the fact "that vaccinated people infected with the delta variant are 63 per cent less likely to infect people who are unvaccinated". https://www.newscientist.com/article/2294250-how-much-less-l...
I used to think just like that (in general, not this particular topic).

Today, it looks to me as a presumptuous way of considering what each person decides to do with they time and lives.

One could as easily argue the oxygen you and I are breathing right now is a big waste of resources.

Let's just let people do what they want to do. If they wanna spin up a machine and run a hash algo all day, just let them.

I have 1gb of ram. I want to watch a 4gb video file that's encrypted, starting at 0:32 and I want to jump back to that timecode a few times.

You can't check chapter markers or frame counts because they are encrypted.You can't usually partially decrypt a file either.
That's a fair take actually
You are right. Anti-vaxxers have some valid points - admittedly, introducing a foreign substance into human body always carries some risks.

The problem with risks and probability is that human brain does not process probability numbers well, so it is all or nothing.

Anti-vaxxers point of view: I do not understand what 0.0001 is, round it up to 0.5 - OMG vaccines kill.

Vaxxers point of view: I do not understand what 0.0001 is, let us round it down to 0. Vaccines are harmless.

Second point is way more rational, although of course also incorrect.

Thank you for your responses. As a woman who grew up on the Internet (and is on the spectrum) I really appreciate you articulating the problems with jokes like that, because having argued with people online, I've learned that my reasoning was never well-constructed and convincing enough to change minds, and the often (usual?) aggressive backlash would just add to the growing pile of uneasiness. One learns it is safer to stay quiet.
But it is the height of hypocrisy to force other people to do things that neither they nor you would do in isolation. You’re not preventing a prisoner’s dilemma here because the proposed tax contribution is strictly monotonic with or without individual participation.
My first job as a SW Eng was in 1989 in the nuclear industry. Our folders and files were limited to 8 letters. So names were effectively acronyms. It was actually pretty awesome. Clean and concise. Years later, I still remembered the whole folder structure.
My guess as well, and seems to be supported by the article:

>For persons aged over 30, however, the authority explicitly recommended the use of the Moderna vaccine, saying its effectiveness was slightly superior.
I mean we’re having this discussion today aren’t we? Did something magically shift in people’s mindset over the last week? No, we just have more data from credible sources.

If you want to blame something for the unhealthy state of public discourse around vaccines, blame anti vaxxers. It is their anti science stance during a health crisis that is both irrational and has removed all nuance from healthcare discussions.
Snarky, but I'll take it.

Use strict schema for the hardware interface, networking, physical stuff the user never sees. Microservice names don't need to be non-Latin. Database replicas, infrastructures, etc. And you're not going to piss off employees by giving them ASCII ldap/email addresses.

Use utf8mb4 or similar for storing names. Don't state "first" or "last". I've been through this rodeo too many times. You're not surprising anyone.
It's not a culture war, it's usually recommended by governing bodies and allowed by law.

> US crash safety tests only use dummies in the size and shape of adult males. Crash safety for women and children is not tested.

I think this is false. Under the NHTSA's "crash test dummies currently in service", they use dummies with the size and weight of men, women, children, and infants.

More about being in a right place at a right time, but granted.

> Having said that, I have been working with Microsoft PowerAutomate for the past 1.5 years and while it has saved a lot of time and been overall a good experience, there are times when the no code/low code gets in the way and I wish I could just "drop into code" to get something done. Examples are things like data validation. This technology is not going to replace coding, the paradigm shift is really happening for people in the marketing and sales operations parts of the business. For these folks, this tech is life changing. In a lot of ways, this tech felt like when you try a new framework in your language of choice; at first it's super easy and you get hyped, and then you hit a requirement where the nocode/lowcode environment really gets in the way.

I think higher-level languages with a dual code-graphic representation and a possibility to drop into lower level are an interesting option, but even that is not new - Unreal/Unity3D etc.
It provides central surveillance, monitoring, and control with a legal mandate to interface with domestic law enforcement. It is the government version of Apples photo surveillance system except controlloing peoples mobility, which is far more dangerous.
It would appear that the difference between your hypothetical scenario and this one is the introduction of scientific data. Interesting huh?
You ever wonder what Manhattan used to look like before New York City was built or San Francisco Bay? We’ve leveled mountains mining coal and covered deserts and seas with oil rigs. Unfortunately this is not a new problem for humans.
Yeah, except that tells me nothing useful... The question is exactly the same: So where do I install this random binary I downloaded from the internet or compiled myself? Is it /opt, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, or /bin? Where do I put the dependencies I compiled for this software - /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, /lib, /opt/lib, /opt/<app name>/lib, or what?
Hypocrisy is the GAME!!!!

It is a little appreciated story that Intel has used it’s stranglehold on CPUs to try and take over the whole BOM of PCs to the detriment of the industry.

Some of this hardware is good (Ethernet) some is underrated (review sites don’t appreciate that some Intel SSDs have much better 95% latency than their top picks that cost $5 less.)

But some of these chips are just crap and their presence drives away better competitors.
Visual no-code/low-code tools have been around for decades. They can work really well when they are aimed at a manageable sized domain (e.g. data wrangling). They tend to fail badly when the try to be a replacement for a general purpose programming language.

I think a lot of the problem is the endless hype and over-promising by marketing and sales people.
Monterey supports the 2013 Mac Pro and 2014 Mac Mini, so if we can expect only 8 years of actual OS support, we'll probably see 8 more years of OS updates for stuff like the 2020 Intel iMac and Intel Macbook Air & Pro. That's a long while before this becomes a possibility.

That the regime divided people on racial lines was what we were upset with, because they weren't applicable or useful.

> we're not banning these books or anything like that

she says as she literally bans books from being checked out, indefinitely.
Oh no, I didn't mean it in a critical way. I was just hedging my agreement by acknowledging that it sounds a bit mad, but it does seem to be practically the only interpretation which actually coheres with the facts.

My guess is that, like with most of these complex human system failures, it was a combination of inattention and mildly-ideologically-motivated disinterest (e.g. someone didn't really think white nationalists were as great a threat as Islamic terrorists &c, and so it didn't make its way from their desk to their superior's desk).

Also I agree: we'll probably find out eventually, long after it's ceased to be of any interest. Like with MKULTRA, Tuskegee, the weirdness around the fact that UFOs[0] were/are actually taken semi-seriously at least by parts of the govt, etc.

[0] Always worth emphasising that 'UFOs' != 'aliens', to be fair.
