Cherry-picking one out of a huge number of tiny groups (girls under 25 from Slovenia) is the hallmark of bad science. This is completely unsuitable for a good risk/benefit analysis.
I intentionally bought a higher end, brand name, cable modem from Best Buy. It stopped working within 48h. Sadly the quality drop isn't limited to counterfeits, or big box retailers are selling them too.
I just realized this is my first white noise machine that would put me to sleep after sitting and messing with my computer all night. I'd finally do the defrag and listen to that hard drive or whatever it was making that noise. And go peacefully to sleep. Just to be awoken a couple hours later by someone letting me know I was late for school.

That’s not how burden of proof works.

OP made a claim that Drata collects private employee info and resells it. That’s a large claim.

It’s on OP to justify that position, not on the parent to rebut the opposite.
Because you didn't close that last tag I feel like there is still some double sarcasm coming after this remark...
boy. i remember moving to xp and a visible disappointment after finding out it didn't have defrag like 98se did.
I was planning on upgrading my 3570K five years ago. I'm still running it.
The study was done in the EU on older adults.. They are very unlikely to eat McDonalds and meat is not as subsidized as in the US. This study might return opposite results in the US, or even elsewhere within the EU like Germany, where obesity is closer to the US.

Also their reference to animal protein might mean they are on average moving higher fat meat/lower quality meat eaters toward the lower animal protein intake than average if this demographic eats a lot of meat but of different quality.
> I've explained again and again in other comments. As did the parent comment of this whole thread. It's really not that hard to understand, but there's nothing I can do if you don't want to understand.

Look, we all know how MLMs work. Just say that you’re finding reasons for other people to pay money for your tokens rather than accusing people of not understanding. None of your comments have included a compelling sales pitch and it’s not the reader’s obligation to help you improve it.
Sure, but let's say that the quota is not met organically and only 3% leave voluntarily. Then to achieve the target 6% unregretted attrition for an org, you'd necessarily need to pick a different 3% to fire/push out.
Science can say "by our current knowledge, the 'truth' is X" .... and then change their mind and say "Y".. The problem are the government mandates and policies based on ever changing science.

Atleast in slovenia we had 4 vaccines (Astrazeneca, jannsen, moderna and pfeizer), and all four were marked as safe and effective for everyone. Then astrazaneca caused issues in neigbouring countries and then J&J killed a wife of our diplomat first (and a lot of blame was thrown around), and then a 20yo girl died, and we banned J&J, then the scandinavian countries stopped usage of moderna for younger people, and we've gone from four "safe and effective" vaccines to just pfeizer. If you're a vaccine skeptic, or even if not, but just a bit afraid to get vaccinated, and three out of the four vaccines that were "just yesterday" safe and effective, are now "not safe and effective" anymore, you don't think "the fourth one surely is safe and effective!", but stay unvaccinated and wait it out. I got vaccinated with J&J, because it was the most 'simple' choice back then, but soon after i needed a booster from pfeizer, because J&J isn't good enough... so all of the risks, basically none of the benefits.

Add to this stories like this one (about the refugees), where countries are mandating locals to take the vaccine, but not refugees, and people get more and more skeptical.
> And as horrible as PayPal is, cryptocurrencies have even more friction and risk.

This comparison with PayPal is perfect. The way I see it, ACH and wire transfers are to PayPal what cryptocurrencies are to startups and tech that is being built right now. The reasons why cryptos have more friction at this point of time is because the PayPals of crypto are being built and distributed. I see a future where creating a wallet and accepting crypto payment will be faster, easier and cheaper than signing up for Venmo or Square Cash.
Don't they use MEMS microphones nowadays? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microelectromechanical_systems)
Either way, solid advice!
That's only true if use of VLAN tags is controlled by hosts; if you use a smart switch to assign VLANs to ports it's pretty much as-if you have multiple, physically separated networks.
Can you be a beginner like this and even still be able to get a job these days? It seems like the industry as a whole has entered a new phase of professionalization and scientific recruitment that makes attitudes like this obsolete.
There are no citations for these claims in the article. While I'm inclined to avoid canola oil because there are better alternatives that are less contentious, I'm also not going to just accept the author's claims without sources.
Right, basically this. If you're shipping something new that could affect production, put it behind a feature flag so the code paths that are already live are unaffected. Continuously ship small changesets so that it's easy to roll back if necessary.
Consider either Rust or Go of you want something easier than C++, but that still has a large community and lots of learning resources.
Hi, I prescribe opiates often as a cancer doc. Opiates act on the central nervous system and decrease the perception of pain but don't address the pain itself. They are quite useful in the short term as bridging therapy (a few days to weeks) analgesia while you work as hard and as quickly as possible to address the physical cause of pain.

On the same token, there are great alternatives too. For musculoskeletal pain, a combination of 1000mg Tylenol and 800mg Ibuprofen all at once has efficacy close to that of low dose opiates. This regimen however carries increased kidney and liver injury.

There are also less addictive opiates such as tramadol (rate of addiction 1 in 100,000).

But again, all of the above is simply to mask the pain. The most important aspect is quick and vigorous pain source control.
Should you be free to use whatever drug you want?

Do doctors hold any responsibility over getting you addicted by drugs they prescribe? (Aren't doctors the experts?)

Now that marijuana is legal, should you sue the legal stores if you get addicted?
I remember reading in a book once:

Systems Operator: Maintains and runs systems, often works from runbooks, or automated UI's; does not write code, works within the constraints set by Administrators. Level 2 Helpdesk.

Systems Administrators: Responsible for writing documentation, addressing the needs of monitoring. Usually the person writing runbooks and scripts, works closely with a Helpdesk and their needs, automates recurrent problems. Level 3 Helpdesk.

Systems Engineer: Responsible for architecture, understanding complex systems, working on new projects, making Systems Administrators lives easier. Working with Architects on upcoming projects, likely designed and built the logging solution, database migration systems, job control systems.

Systems Architect: Same as a systems engineer except focused on business needs instead of technical ones. Usually works on a higher level of abstraction, often works across many teams to gather needs.

This was a book that was "old" when I read it in 2007, so, obviously this no longer reflects reality (if it ever did).
Don’t be like that. Providing it for free does not mean that it has to work on your device. By that definition, no software (including non-Apple) for macOS is ever free because it requires a more expensive computer to run.

Besides, there’s guides-a-plenty all over the internet about making “Hackintoshes”.

It really is amazing that after two years of no clear correlation between mandates and results, many still believe that all those edicts and restrictions were based on science.
The fact is that to continue to believe in all the imposed rules is more of an act of faith, similar to the religious kind.
So could you make troll proposals for the purpose of getting other people to waste their votes?

"Death penalty for jaywalking" how strongly against this are you?
No, but I think everyone being forced to work remotely due to a worldwide pandemic -is- unique. The switch was not a carefully considered bought into thing, and companies are reacting to it with what they think they need, not what they actually find they need.

You call out 1/3 of workers are already subject to it; I will call out that despite almost -every- company going from "I can see who is in the office, at their computer, and I can walk by and get an idea if they're just doomscrolling Facebook, or at least staring at an IDE" to "now I can't tell at all what they're doing", a full 2/3rds of companies, in the UK (a country that already has a culture of passive surveillance, with cameras on most urban street corners and the like) -haven't- instituted such measures.

As time goes on, will that 2/3rds of companies also buy in? Maybe, if they find they can't actually determine who is and isn't producing. But that has always been a challenge with knowledge workers, and the move to remote hasn't actually changed that calculus at all. What -is- certain is that increased monitoring, especially in countries that historically have objected to it (such as the US, which is also a leader in the industry when it comes to establishing trends), has a cost, both monetarily and in morale. If companies don't see a return on investment, the push for it will likely subside, and it becomes something to cut for the sake of budgets, if not also competitiveness in attracting talent.

I will also point out, pre-COVID, most companies didn't actually track time spent in office for knowledge workers. While blue collar employees would clock in and out to ensure they were putting in the hours, and service industry employees would, necessarily, have specific hours they worked, knowledge workers such as devs (a very different category of beast than doctor or nurse, who though knowledgeable and highly trained, are not actually knowledge workers. A nurse is not nursing if they're staring into space thinking about their patient. They are more like service industry in that regard, working well defined shifts that require manpower. Same doctors; there are appointments and scheduled events they have to attend and do. You can't replace a surgery, unlike many meetings, with an email) generally have had no such measures, despite it being no more difficult to institute them. Why? Because companies realized that attendance is not a proxy for performance. The fact a bunch of bad 'leaders', faced with the most singular workplace disruption of our lifetime (hopefully), reacted poorly in trying to pretend it is, doesn't tell us anything about long term trends.
I'm of the age that I also consider 50 years ago to be the dawn of computing. Turns out it's closer to 75. :-)

It has been said that non-programmers used to catch on to APL quite quickly back in the day. Faster than regular programming languages in fact. The designers, Ken Iverson, didn't even design the language to be run on computers but rather as a mathematical notation.

Someone else mentioned Excel, and that is an example of data-oriented programming. It actually hides the code and displays the data, which is why most programmers hate it. It's not the data that is important when doing development, but the code.

Array oriented languages like APL and R allows you to work with data like Excel, but you work with the code, not the numbers. I'd argue that once you learn more about programming, one tends to want to work with the code rather than just looking at data.
This [1] publication argues that `interface{}` should be replaced with `yolo`.

This is an issue that has bitten people before. Indeed, there's probably been some discussion of it and might even be some common mitigations taught as "best practice" in some places.

Do we ever need to store floats? using them in flight is one thing, but stored data so often needs to be some fixed precision.
On the importance of de-gendering the recruitment process, I have a parallel to submit with a discipline I know well, the professional classical music industry.

A few decades ago, it was commonly thought that the brain of women couldn't understand music. "Women have other preferences," "Their brains are not made for that." If it reminds you of some rhetoric seen here and there, trust your instincts.

Here is what happened in the 70s, using extracts from the book "Blindspot":

"In 1970, fewer than 10 percent of the instrumentalists in America's major symphony orchestras were women, and women made up less than 20 percent of new hires."

"Starting in the 1970s, several major American symphony orchestras experimented with a new procedure that involved interposing a screen between the auditioning instrumentalists and the committee, leaving the applicants audible but not visible to the judges."

"The next twenty years provided interesting evidence. After the adoption of blind auditions, the proportion of women hired by major symphony orchestras doubled—from 20 percent to 40 percent."

Fun fact: those blind auditions didn't start because of gender ethics; they began because the classical music industry was rife with clannishness and nepotism at all levels, which gave the incitive for orchestras to limit the impact from influential professors.
This pretty much summarizes what a clusterfuck WebAssembly is.

It should be possible to just paste the 6 wasm lines into a <script type=wasm> block. This is what made the web successful. Not having to have tooling to build things.
I'm like OP, I feel like I paddle along, minimal effort, then sometimes I take some strong strokes and get many of the people that work "the wrong way" to paddle the right way for some strokes and I can continue on momentum for another couple of months.

When I'm not 100% sure I'm paddling the right way or management wants me to paddle the wrong way, I don't really peddle, I complain and start playing around with fun tech that I think is the right way. Then when the time comes, I makes some powerful strokes again (aided by the new knowledge from playing).

This is going to sound cocky but I feel that I'm pretty good at determining what the right way is, and that is the reason I get away with it. It's like I'm slowly walking by a wall, feeling where it is weakest for months on end, then I make one big push, it falls, things change, I make noise, people appreciate it and understand this is the right way. Lead by example it's been called.

To be clear, I consider the wrong way usually the ineffective way. Ie in our org many people write many one-off scripts, I always try to focus on creating re-useable assets following global standards. I promote innersource because it's fun but also because it enabled other devs to make my CI/CD pipelines. I'm lazy but I think in a good way.
> there CANNOT BE A "convincing claim

I think there can be convincing claims that convince people of falsehoods, in which case the claims are also misleading. If "convincing" were replaced by "convincing, but misleading" or "convincing, but incorrect", would you then agree with the paragraph?
I seek happiness and meaning in what I do, and that's how I find my place in the world, no matter how good I am, job and private life alike, as long as I do things that I think are relevant and meaningful to me, and I enjoy what I do.

Of course, the fact I'm exceptionally good doesn't hurt ;-)
How is allowing "i hate crackers" helping anything though? Okay, It's less hurtful, I don't care either but this is like legalizing slapping people on the street because "well, it doesn't leave a mark"
My 2-cents.

> I feel like I know that I'm a nobody. I try not to compare myself; but I'm also unable to shrug these feeling off, however indirect

Everyone is a nobody even famous people. Everyone also feels that way, if you don't feel that way you are probably a psychopath, but that's also fine.

Focus on what matters, wealth, leisure time, whatever you pick keep in mind the clock is always ticking.

Small clarification fame really does not matter, it just makes wealth easier to attain usually.

Contribution to science or humanity in general should never be your focus, it usually happens as a side-effect of work you do either for money or because you enjoy it.

Weird. In a GitHub-flow model I don’t care about branch names at all except inasmuch as that they need to be unique.

Branches pushed to origin are just a backup of the commit log that leads to a pull request - they’re ephemeral, belong to the pulled request author(s) and are nobody else’s business but theirs.
I worked as a contractor for a large media company in Europe (fully remote, from Italy). We had company issued laptops prepackaged with corporate tooling (VPNs, accounts, etc.) and that came with a fair bit of corporate-spyware included from _at least_ couple different vendors.

At one point, I was writing a small demo in golang for one of our projects and I've been contacted by a security engineer telling me that I've been hitting C:\Users\<yada>\AppData\Local\Temp\go-build2923888066\b001\exe\main.exe too frequently and that called a `cryptsp.dll` that according to him was highly correlated with ransomware attacks. I was adviced to stop working on that until my manager confirmed this was legitimate activity.
I must admit, I've been quite freaked by the fact that they were listening for the single executables launched on my machine.

Needless to say, this dragged on for a week due to complex internal politics. I thoroughly enjoyed a week of paid time off.

Opioids took me from suicide level pain to just tolerable pain over 6 months after I had a half golf ball sized hole scooped out of the base of my tongue due to cancer. It was a bad week when I stopped but it's doable. Opioids have a place.
It’s just subtly different than anything else out there. It for the most part feels like a Python-like language, but compiles to C so is very fast.

It also has one of the better macro systems out there. I was interested in developing a programming language with macros, and it has a ton of documentation about it. It’s really well thought out.

I’m not saying to run a business on it, but there are lots of interesting things out there. Language design is still a very active area of innovation.
People who are obese enough to not take take stairs but elevators cant fight revolutions by definition.

That is why they have elections, and one way or other democracy fixes most of these problems. Even if the fix is not perfect, or entirely acceptable to everyone.

Revolutions are just totally a different thing altogether and you need way more than milk and egg prices going up, or your favorite politician not getting elected to happen.

Doesn't seem like good news for anyone who uses Cerner systems. Although those systems seem over-priced already so can they tighten the screw even more?
Ah, yes. If you want it running vertically on the left or right, or horizontally across the top, there is no setting for that. There are some registry settings documented by third parties, but I haven't tried them.
You don't need to write "import pandas; pandas.bla()", you can do "from pandas import *; anything_in_pandas()" if you want quick and dirty.
Democracy relies on people being able to vote for what they think is right; with privacy.

We removed senators right to vote for the right things in private in ~1970. After this things have gotten very bad in the US–policy wise. Polarization. Extreme lobbing. Partisanship. Fiscal policies that only favor the rich.

See this: https://wtfhappenedin1971.com

All of this happened after we changed the rules in Congress where they voted and had committees in private, to out in the open.
I doubt it will ever settle. See: Abkhazia and South Osetia. Russia has a history of creating frozen conflicts to make life painful for its neighbours

Am I in some kind of weird HN bubble where no-one has ever used a physical map?

I've travelled extensively pre-turn by turn navigation using physical maps, i spent a year motorcycling across mainland Europe in my early 20's using nothing but physical maps, I did the same but in the US during the early-mid 2000's.

Was it as easy as sticking a zip code into a magic box and having it tell me where to go and when to take a turn? Probably not. But it wasn't much more complicated because I know how to read maps and can remember things for more than 10 seconds.
I understood it fine. Have you searched around for what those languages are?
You are in a system that is telling you to be the greatest, and that anyone can be the greatest is the are smart and just try hard enough.

It’s bullsht.

You can either decide to try stop playing the game of capitalism, or look down instead of looking up while playing it.

The later means you are still playing the game, but it will be easier to cope with your suffering and you might just make some friends.

You are only seeing a deep truth that others cannot see; your work is insignificant. Go out and help someone less fortunate and you will see your true significance.
