Not the analysis I saw, where Delta's growth rate was compared to Alpha in the same time window, not the start of alpha's own growth period. Because yes, they are totally incompetent. You can look at graphs of the changing proportions to see visually that that's not much difference in how fast they took over.
You’re getting a lot of negativity but there’s some truth to what you’re saying. It’s nuanced, though.

First: to all the people saying this happens all the time 1) define your terms carefully because there are obvious ethical boundaries here one should not cross, and 2) the power dynamic often means these situations will not be raised even if the admin feels taken advantage of.

So, there’s a range of activities you could be asking someone to do for you. To ground the conversation in reality let’s put some on the board:

Office admin work:

Stocking the fridge, event coordination, arranging regular lunches for meetings/team etc.

EA work:

Managing your calendar, making sure you personally have something to eat during the work day, taking notes in meetings, managing agendas for routine meetings, scheduling business trips etc.

PA work: stocking the fridge, running errands, making reservations for restaurants, trips, etc.

I think the issue here is that many of these tasks are immediately applicable to all three domains. Also, there is a lot of potential overlap between these domains. This means it is very easy to slip from reasonable requests to unreasonable requests without realizing it.

I’ll give a personal example. My life is complicated and my wife’s schedule is just as busy. For a while my wife had to run an every other week all hands at a particular time that meant I needed to deal with some kid duties that she handles the other 9 days of the two week cycle. Except, as everyone knows, you cannot simply assume an inviolate biweekly recurrence. When my wife’s schedule needed to change, mine did too. For policy reasons neither company allowed remote access to calendars, so neither of us had visibility into the other’s potential conflicts.

Enter my EA, who manages my calendar (among other things). At company A it was considered fine for my wife and my EA to communicate directly about schedule changes so that my business day was reflective of my personal commitments. Then company A got acquired and at company B this was not considered okay.

Two sets of rational, well meaning groups came up with fairly different outcomes. Company B got there with a bright line rule that says something like: your EA is only there to facilitate your corporate life, and there should be zero mixing with your personal life. Company A got to a different place because of a belief that, when the personal life is intersecting corporate life, it may be appropriate for your EA to facilitate. This requires judgment whereas the first rule does not, but in general executives are required to have excellent judgment in many situations, so what’s one more?

That said, company B is much larger and I can practically guarantee that they once had a policy like company A and then it was repeatedly abused to the point that they had to change it.

Sorry for the essay, but I think you have an interesting point here that deserves more than the knee jerk responses you’ve gotten so far.
You probably want the credit freeze. These companies are required by the US law to provide the service for free. Credit locks usually require payment to get.
Unpopular opinion: “singularity” is empty marketing hype masquerading as eschatological theology. The stark reality is that AI technology is inextricably tied up with market dynamics. Future innovations will continue to be largely funneled into hyper-optimizing user engagement metrics and ad revenue for $BigCo, not creating the 2001 starchild or whatever.

Population growth is assumed to be necessary so that more workers will pick up the burden of paying for elders. Japan is treated as a cautionary tale.
> The second version is much clearer to me

Clearer? Did you notice the second version contains a bug?

The first version makes it easier to spot said bug, because it's more concise and with fewer parts where you could make a mistake. Note that even in this very short piece of code it's easy to miss the bug; imagine in actual loops!

You have no guarantees about the running time of the code in either case, not without delving into the specifics of your programming language.

> I favor a programming style where all loops have clearly identifiable bounds. Using "iterators" hides these lenghts and makes the code much harder to reason about.

I find the opposite to be the case. Explicit loops with indexes make off-by-one errors likely, which is one of the most common kinds of error. It's impossible to make that kind of mistake with a foreach or map-over-this operation.
Sleep at same time every night no matter what. Thirty mins in a dark bedroom pillow talk with wife before going falling asleep. Key being same time and dark before sleep. Also, no electronics in room except alarm clock. Nothing else, ever.
Bright light in the morning is incredibly effective for me. I always sleep with the curtains/blinds open. And I'm investigating a bright artificial lighting system that comes on automatically in the morning for winter (those wake-up alarms tend to have pretty pathetic light output).

Speaking for Typescript and Mikro-ORM. I use the ORM extensively for regular operations and queries, but usually for searches with more complex queries, I do it by hand (get PKs), and then load the entities by PK (I could skip that but it's to let the ORM handle the mapping).

ORMs generally have a "raw" escape route where you can just do it yourself? Or maybe it's just the one I use..

You have to actually want to change to make it possible, so that’s the first step.

Obvious second is avoiding caffeine anytime after lunch.

Third, set an alarm on your phone for 30 minutes before you’d ideally like to be sleeping. When the alarm goes off, get ready for bed and then get into bed.

To get to sleep (tricks someone showed me in uni): turn off all lights so your room is pitch dark. Keep your eyes open as long as you can, even after they feel droopy. ‘Look’ into the darkness. Try to create an Elaborate story in your head with characters and settings. Build gradually on this story night after night. Each niggt you only need to work out a tiny additional detail, like what characters wear or say or do. The story builds slowly and gradually and you’ll start to trigger your brain to get tired through just thinking of the story.

Before long you’ll hopefully be sleeping at your target time.

Phone off and 1mg melatonin every night at 9.

If I'm in "work" mode by 10 and I don't want to quit, I set the alarm for 04:30 and lie down with an audiobook (preferably something that's reasonably dense, e.g. the Odyssey or Milton). Never takes more than 15 min.

It sounds like David Icke. If you really need someone to expound on this, you could read the source but we’re both on HN and likely reasonably similar. Can I give you some loving advice??

Forget this. There’s nothing good in Icke. I’ve seen way too many brilliant hackers get sucked into David Icke’s bullshit on their way to a crash.

If you still really need closure, I can sum it up as the royal family, the elite and the ‘Illuminati’ are lizards, descended from aliens. Find architects who designed buildings for the Baha’i faith, then trace their contributions back to North American parliaments, legislatures and the like. Find the allusions to the Baha’i faith, find the allusions to Freemasonry and then you’ll see the projection of reality. Once you’ve seen the projection, you’re free from it.

Be safe. If you want to rap about the ideas with someone reasonably safe, I’m Greg and my email is in my profile. If you’re getting lost, I’ll give you my phone number.

Be safe and healthy.

Edit - The danger of Icke is that he takes basic geometry and civil engineering and somehow turns them into conspiracy. If you’re remotely scientific, you’ll see signs of Icke all around you. But some principles are principles because they work. We don’t need conspiracy theories to explain how professions grow.

Edit 2 - Don’t google David Icke. You’ll want the time back and I can’t offer refunds. :(

Basing the argument on single company stock reliably going up is a big mistake, but I do think the longer-dated stock awards are advantageous to many employees because they're effectively an employee option - every month/quarter/year you have the option to quit for a market rate job elsewhere or accept whatever the stock is worth.

Also if a stock dips many employers in competitive markets will end up compensating somehow. It's difficult to model because it depends on how employers behave and how much they want to retain you. If they reliably give you extra grants/bonus to get people back to target compensation after a decrease in stock price, then the downside risk of longer-dated grants is reduced a lot, but you still have significant upside.

Reality is that people don't want to job hop always, not everyone can easily find a market rate job, employers don't 100% true people up after a stock dips and and employer might not be invested in retaining even a good employee. So YMMV.
ORMs could (and most do) provide some escape hatch, where you can write the query yourself and reuse the hydration layer, or reuse the query generator and customize the hydrator, or a combination. Or you can just bail out completely for the few performance critical queries.

Honestly, ORMs are just an abstraction. They come at a cost and they’re not a silver bullet, just like most abstractions. I believe the hate for ORMs in many cases is due to a lack of understanding/wrong expectations.
I feel the same - V7 is significant - but for different reasons.

(1) V7 did not use a MMU, there are no shared object libraries. The whole stack feels simpler, less layered. It is straightforward to hand-craft a binary on a pre-ELF system.

(2) V7 was just before select was introduced. V7 was only capable of basic networking like uucp where you give over the cpu to the networking operation.

A while back I wrote some notes contrasting RetroBSD (2BSD, close to v7) to LiteBSD (4.4 BSD), http://songseed.org/dinghy/d.pic32.platform.html

Both ports were done by the same developer, from different versions of the same codebase, separated by four years. If you compared any releases of Solaris, FreeBSD and Linux from the last twenty years, the differences would seem trivial compared to the differences between RetroBSD and LiteBSD.

The analogous for loop would have you compute n from the size of y. You still don’t know, statically, the length of the loop in that case unless you statically know the size or length of y.

It has the same problem either way. Similarly, if you always know the size of n in the C style loop, then you would always know the size of y in the Python style loop.

The Python loop just has the benefit of being shorter (by a line and a few tokens).
You need to adjust your circadian clock. Not an overnight solution, but exposure to bright lights in the morning for at least 30 minutes is what worked for me. Real sunlight is best, but full spectrum lamp (e.g. Happy Light) shining close to your face in the a.m. is effective too. And in the p.m. avoid bright lights, particularly blue light is helpful. I have yellow goggles and LED bulbs that I turn to red at night. (Neighbors have teased me about what the red lights means!)

IRC chatrooms got me much more comfortable with touch-typing than programming. There is too much time spent thinking when programming to feel slowed down by looking at the keyboard.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel that there's almost a counter-Google-fu these days. Finding something that isn't on the front page, or even just trying to use an older search style often leads to Google showing the weirdest results.

I use Searx or DuckDuckGo for these searches. While their results are often worse at the top, they provide a wealth of understanding and documentation that Google seems to just.. skip? To me, finding things is more difficult when there are two opposing sides trying to outsmart one another.
Creating content is somewhat expensive, but not unreasonably so for their subscriber counts.

A live action TV show costs $3-15 million to produce. They have ~116 million subscribers. If they “invest” $2/subscriber/month into new content, that means they can make 15-77 new episodes per month (a film could be considered to take up several episode slots).
You should do it, but contact your advisor first. I know I'd like to upload my old masters thesis online, but the university retains a copyright on it. Its possible yours does to. I'm sure the information on that would be available on your schools website in the thesis format/guidelines sections.
I'm presently torn about this. I want to be vegan / vegetarian as often as I can be for ethical / environmental reasons, but I find that whenever I eat a substitute it tastes like it should, but the satiation of the inner desire for meat isn't met. It's like smoking a nicotine-free cigarette or a non-alcoholic beer. Yeah, sure, it's better than nothing but I wish it fully replaced the experience because I would literally pay double not to cause an animal to suffer ever again.
I was just about to comment that, aside from first-moved advantage, the Impossible strategy of near-perfect imitation seems much more promising than the half-assing that Beyond is doing.

I like Beyond just fine (but I prefer Dr. Praegers, so not exactly representative of the American public) but Impossible is enjoyable in its own right as a marvel of technology.

There's a very subtle insidiousness in saying that the efforts of the developed world "helped" others into becoming the same as them. Yes, South Korea is a miracle to many Westerners as an advanced capitalist nation, probably it's doing capitalism even ruthlessly better than what the US is doing. But if you've lived inside this nation for some time you will notice that people aren't happy, with overheated competitions for education and jobs, exploitation of factory and service workers, widespread alienation, depression, and suicide. It's one of the unhappiest advanced capitalist nations in the world, and you should wonder why works like Parasite and Squid Game are being created here.

Colonialism covers a wide array of things, but it also includes robbing the people of its narrative. And that is precisely what happened to the two Koreas. Our country was occupied by fascist Imperial Japan in the first half of the 20th century, Korean culture and political participation were severely oppressed, and economic exploitation of the people (to fuel their war economy) was rampant. In this oppressive atmosphere an strange thing happened: Marxists (the far left) and the nationalists (the liberals), finding their common enemy, were able to resolve their differences and cooperate with each other to fight for independence. And after Japan's loss and subsequent independence, most of these two were willing to reconcile their positions through democratic means, and people were generally excited for a new independent democratic nation to be established. Instead, the Soviet influence from the North deliberately gave support to Kim Il-sung and its constituents to push Soviet-style dictator communism in the North, while the US from the South gave overwhelming political and military support for Syngman Ryee and his followers (who was "voted" to become president via manipulated elections) to create an equivalent capitalist dictatorship. After that the rest is history, communist dictatorship hellhole in the North, capitalist dictatorship hellhole in the South. It's only been about 30 years since our country was regarded as a liberal democracy, but even then I question if the country is really a democracy now when the whole system blocks ordinary people from actually participating and having a stake in political issues.

So our history is a fable of crushed potential narratives, the inevitability of both Western authoritarian communism and Western authoritarian capitalism imposed on us with guns and bombs. Maybe without foreign intervention, our place could have been an experimental testbed for a new kind of Asian democratic socialism? Maybe we would have succeeded in creating a more enriching egalitarian nation, or maybe we would have failed, who knows? But regardless of what the outcome would have hypothetically been, this was all robbed of its possibility by Western superpower interests. And being robbed from the people of their self-organization is a dehumanizing experience that I'm sure many colonized countries will empathize with.
I agree. These fake meats only get around the mistreatment of animals. As far as I can tell, they're worse for the environment and worse in terms of health impact than eating meat. Not too long ago, a local fake sausage maker got into trouble for dumping their industrial waste into a stream. It's possible to farm animals ethically. This is not the way.

It took me years and years to realize it, but I'm very sensitive to caffeine and the effect lasts a long time. More than one cup of coffee a day, any time later than first thing in the morning, is noticeable in terms of getting to sleep. Obviously different people are different, and there's probably something to the argument that if you consume caffeine in exactly the same pattern every day, you will adjust to that as the new normal. But, don't discount the possibility, like I did, that a single cup of coffee before noon can actually be a real factor in whether you can sleep at midnight.

Also, having a baby - it gets up early so you have to, and it goes to bed early, leaving you exhausted, so you go to bed early. Health, wealth, and wisdom, here I come.

Another good one: learning to tell yourself that if you're lying in bed in the dark, wide awake, that this is still helping your brain rest and recover. I have no idea if that's true, but it's something of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, I'm sure it's partially an economies of scale issue. But plant based beef should really be half or less the cost of actual beef in the long run.

Otherwise the whole premise is totally pointless, other than for taste for vegetarians.

I would switch all my beef consumption to impossible if the cost were significantly lower.

From an investment perspective it seems kind of poor, given that there are already two players and likely more down the road. Will not be able to bear high margins on these kind of items. Cool that some are willing to fund the R&D even though returns are likely to be poor, though!

The problem with Kafka is not Java nor ZooKeeper - it is that non-native (non-Java) clients are buggy as hell (last time I touched them), because everybody have to re-implement all the complex logic for each language (often multiple times).

> That's like saying a bag is too expressive because I can put all kinds of things into them.

That's entirely accurate. A bag is "too expressive", in that sense. Sometimes you want to constrain the kind of container so you don't put the wrong kind of thing in there.

Another analogy: types. "Any" will let you use anything, but sometimes you want to say "only allow Integers here".

All these people in this thread, talking about cooking like it's alchemy.

Brining doesn't add moisture. Dry brining actually removes moisture. Wet brining merely deposits salt and flavors in the surface of the meat via osmosis.

Salt also helps the protein structure break down, which makes the meat more tender, but for a bird as large as a turkey, it's really not penetrating that far, especially for the short time periods people are brining their turkeys.

In short, brining is only for flavor.

Moisture in the bird is a function of not losing what moisture is there already. There are two things you have to do: don't overcook the bird, and let the bird rest after cooking.

That's it. It's not hard. Get a digital probe thermometer. They are cheap, probably less than the cost of the turkey itself, and easy to use. You set it up to alarm when the internal temperature hits 165F and you immediately remove the bird and let it set for half an hour. You have to actively go out of your way to screw it up.

Everything else is dressing.

For what it's worth, I think this is an incredibly healthy attitude for a project maintainer to take. There are a lot of ways to go wrong managing a software project, and this attitude is a good way to avoid a big subset of common mistakes. It comes with downsides, of course, but it's important to think about the upsides too.
