Why would it not? Staffing for healthcare workers had been barebones for a long time before Covid.

Obviously, the acute situation of today, I would not count. But when managing a society, and you pay rock bottom prices and lower quality of life for a couple decades to limit supply of healthcare workers so that you are running on razor thin margins, then the future where lack of healthcare workers in cases of emergency are inevitable.

It's a bit weird that that the authors of the paper ascribe this to the "failure of neo-liberalism" when neo liberalism had most of its successes after 1978. Thatcher and Reagan first elected in 1979 and 1981 respectively. WTO founded in 1995. EU founded in 1993 (albeit preceded by EEC and European Coal and Steel Board). Fall of Berlin Wall 1989. Fukuyama's "End of History" 1992.

If there is a correlation surely it's with neo-liberalism's success. Not saying it's causative mind.
Interesting point, would you say it makes more sense to focus on adopted technologies rather then interesting ones in thier growth phase?

Concrete: I learned React a while ago but find Svelte interesting and think it has potential. I am no SWE but interested.
I expect this would be in the context of someone from the "illiberal left" (a perhaps biased term, but the one used in the article) having already asserted the opppsite to one or more of these statements, and being corrected for it.

In particular, such assertions are often observed in discussions of gender issues.
> If you don't know, the general structure is LLVM is to have a frontend and a backend. The frontend translates whatever your language is into LLVM-IR (intermediate representation), a sort of abstract assembly language. This isn't tied to any particular architecture (eg IIRC there are infinite registers in LLVM-IR). The backend translates that to a particular architecture. This is good because it's easier to get a compiler off the ground but gcc's performance is still second-to-none.

Virtually every modern compiler is implemented using this approach - including GCC. GCC also used to be quite a lot slower than clang, but just like with error messsages, the GCC people have put a lot of work into it.

I have never understood why logging has needed such complex frameworks.
Idk anything about bottles, but just curious why you would want that feature? Like, what is a compelling use case for it?

You probably know this already, but the point of Flatpak is to offer sandboxing and packaging of all dependencies in an isolated way. Being able to install and run flatpaks from any directory seems like it’d be difficult to implement for little benefit. It’s a bad fit for the tech IMO, and unnecessary since AppImage already offers exactly that functionality, but without the sandboxing (and other) features.
I found the paper's interpretive commentary both less biased and more insightful than the OP, which is a short, opinionated blog post mentioning the paper.

In particular, these two paragraphs from the paper's section about "Potential Drivers" struck a chord with me:

> What precisely caused the observed stagnation in the long-term trend around 1980 remains perhaps even more difficult to pinpoint. The late 1980s witnessed the start of the internet and its growing role in society. Perhaps more importantly, there could be a connection to tensions arising from neoliberal policies which were defended on rational arguments, while the economic fruits were reaped by an increasingly small fraction of societies.

> In many languages the trends in sentiment- and intuition-related words accelerate around 2007. One possible explanation could be that the standards for inclusion in Google Books shifted from “being in a library Google had an agreement with” to “from a publisher that directly deposited with Google” after 2004 to 2007, thus affecting the corpus composition. The 2007 shift also coincides with the global financial crisis which may have had an impact. However, earlier economic crises such as the Great Depression (1929 to 1939) did not leave discernable marks on our indicators of book language. Perhaps significantly, 2007 was also roughly the start of a near-universal global surge of social media. This may be illustrated by plotting the dynamics of the word “Facebook” as a marker alongside the frequency of a set of intuition and rationality flag words in different languages.

Paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/118/51/e2107848118

Abstract: The surge of post-truth political argumentation suggests that we are living in a special historical period when it comes to the balance between emotion and reasoning. To explore if this is indeed the case, we analyze language in millions of books covering the period from 1850 to 2019 represented in Google nGram data. We show that the use of words associated with rationality, such as “determine” and “conclusion,” rose systematically after 1850, while words related to human experience such as “feel” and “believe” declined. This pattern reversed over the past decades, paralleled by a shift from a collectivistic to an individualistic focus as reflected, among other things, by the ratio of singular to plural pronouns such as “I”/”we” and “he”/”they.” Interpreting this synchronous sea change in book language remains challenging. However, as we show, the nature of this reversal occurs in fiction as well as nonfiction. Moreover, the pattern of change in the ratio between sentiment and rationality flag words since 1850 also occurs in New York Times articles, suggesting that it is not an artifact of the book corpora we analyzed. Finally, we show that word trends in books parallel trends in corresponding Google search terms, supporting the idea that changes in book language do in part reflect changes in interest. All in all, our results suggest that over the past decades, there has been a marked shift in public interest from the collective to the individual, and from rationality toward emotion.

You just need to apply for roles with public companies that offer liquid equity. Very few of us are getting 250k+ on base salary alone. Most of us have the salary bands you’re already in, but have additional equity pay on top. It doesn’t have to be a FAANG either. There are loads of public companies out there hiring engineers at 250k total comp.
Right but if you have no diagnosis of Covid then the argument above doesn’t apply since you don’t actually have any evidence of “natural immunity”

Because you are allowed to do the work if you are licensed. The cost of a nurse is conditioned on the licensed supply, not the willingness of Joe Programmer to do it for $800,000.

At the moment, if you chose to go into nursing, the choice wouldn't matter, because the licensing pipeline is full!
This is not a poll. The interesting part about this post is why people accept it or what they do in order to not accept it. You did not contribute anything interesting by saying "I accepted the terms".
The unethical part is not that the experimenters sent these messages to the owners of the websites.

It's that they:

a) did not get the people's informed consent to participate in human subjects research,

b) misrepresented themselves as being potentially-litigious parties interested in the handling of their own data under the CCPA, who further were misrepresenting the degree to which the CCPA applied to them, and

c) misled their IRB into believing this was not human subjects research, so that they did not get stopped from doing (a). (That, or the IRB itself is culpable for this aspect of the unethical behavior; I haven't seen specific information one way or the other.)

And to be clear about these requirements:

You may recall stories about psychological experiments during the Cold War, like the Milgram Experiments (where the participants were told to administer electric shocks to people), and the Stanford Prison Experiment (where they assigned a bunch of undergrads to be prisoners and guards). Due to wildly unethical experiments like those, the scientific institutions of our country developed the system of Institutional Review Boards (the aforementioned IRB), which have fairly clear standards that they hold researchers to (though, granted, those standards will naturally vary somewhat from institution to institution).

One of the primary purposes of IRBs is to ensure that all human scientific research participants give informed consent to participate in the study. That means, among other things, they have to be informed of the risks of the study—and those risks, by design, must include the mental distress that can be caused by the experiment. (That, after all, was the primary negative outcome of the Milgram Experiments and the Stanford Prison Experiment: they caused serious psychological distress.)

I don't work at Princeton, so I can't speak to the specifics of how they consider such things, but I do work for the psychology department of a university with a strong tradition of research—in fact, I built the web-based system the IRB here now uses to manage their workflow, so I've worked closely with them for over a decade now—and I can tell you with some certainty that letters like these would not in any way be considered acceptable without a signed informed consent form. They are very clearly designed to evoke an emotional response in the recipients—a fear response, specifically—and that absolutely requires the full scrutiny of the IRB.
I disagree with this wholeheartedly. If you are constantly doing the work of multiple devs, you get zero reward in this industry.

Instead, put that extra focus into side work and side projects. If you’re good enough you can even be honest with people. When taking on a contract you can say “I have another commitment and will be working between X and X on X days for you” as long as you get all the work done for your primary job it’s not immoral.
Yeah this one is weird to me. How many "I sent GDPR requests to all the services I use and this is what happened" blog posts did we read when GDPR first went into effect?

Should academic research be held to a high bar? Yes. Did this cross a line? From the response and subsequent apology, clearly. But the outrage here feels at least a little disproportionate.

Was his work performance suffering as a result? If not, what is the actual issue here?
At this point, I've gotten to the point where each client I deal with, has their own vm. This insures no commingling of data between clients, and my personal use and the clients.

In that regard, its easy for me to put an agent on their vm, I do run pi-hole so it doesn't matter what VM I'm in, most of this sort traffic gets filtered.

I would also recommend reviewing the contract you have with them, to see if it allows them to put these sort of measures on you. And personally determine if this contract is worth keeping, a company wishing to push something like this, with that rigid a response, doesn't sound like someone you would want to maintain a relationship with.

But either way, it seems like this is something that could be resolved without much effort.

How do you know the people not accepted would have made desirable nurses? Surely one would want some minimum standard for the people poking you with needles and administering your healthcare/medicines.

This is just another insufficient pay scenario.
I'm also wondering. but I would guess some companies only or more easily treat with locally based LLC than foreign entities. And those dealing with foreign entities probably favor those located in juridiction they feel comply with their rules. E.G only a few will deal with an entity based in Iran or China. Some industries are not even allowed to trade with a list of countries.
I think his point is that, for 800k a year, he'd be sufficiently incentivized to try and get licensed.
Yes, but "optimized" is overselling it. It stored RGBA in a premultiplied form.

IMHO it was an unnecessary spec breakage, and a misplaced focus. The most expensive part of decoding PNG is zlib inflate, so any reduction in input data is more important than post-processing savings.

If Apple stored app launch images (the feature it's been invented for) as opaque RGB, then colorspace conversion would also be free, and they'd also be saving a quarter of the most expensive stage of decoding. Instead, they've kept the big expensive part big and expensive, and shaved off 3 instructions from the almost free part.
That's what you believe, but GP was talking about intent and for that only the thoughts of the people doing all the "intending" count.

I'm not sure if/how this is improved in KiCad 6 but from the KiCad 5 tutorials I've seen, "manually match symbols to footprints" was its approach to library management :/

I'm learning PCB design with https://github.com/horizon-eda/horizon instead — and here library (pool) management comes first. You actually place full "parts" (that associate symbols and footprints and other metadata) onto schematics — and if you don't want to decide on a particular model number, you can still place a "base" part (e.g. "generic 5k resistor") and change it later. Oh, and the schematic editor actually edits nets, rather than what KiCad does (seemingly just a basic CAD drawing that gets analyzed into a netlist as a very separate explicit step).
It’s very easy to find this out. Just about any decent manager can sense it and if they care enough will follow through.

I doubt anyone will reveal the how because it is becoming a cat and mouse game in my organization.

The researchers have already publicly announced that they've halted all emails and the continuation of the study permanently.

What is more likely is that they have multiple templates to try to determine if there were different responses depending on whether the request was known to be for research.

>> Powerful devices can become circumstantially slowed by multiple factors

The slowest device we test with is actually a very expensive Chromebook with severe thermal throttling issues. Using our WebGL app that runs fine on a low-end Chromebook tablet will bring this expensive Chromebook to its knees within minutes. It throttles down to like 600 MHz or something.

The worst part is that every tech reviewer seems to have one of these things in a drawer somewhere that they pull out for testing. The usual duty pattern of Chromebooks is very bursty, e.g. page loads, but sustained GPU usage just crushes this particular device.

The local government will most likely have an issue with you working for an foreign company that you own yourself, and it will likely be more complicated when you deal with taxes and banks. It will be easier if you are like most other companies in your country, easier to find information about government laws and tax rules, and easier to find people for advice.
>A more plausible explanation is more female writers and the closely related feminization of culture.

so what is the point of this piece? is he blaming the slowdown of scientific advancement in the past 40-50 years on "femininity", or straight up just woman?

> So it is statistically less robust and more volatile to invest disproportionately more in companies that earn more money?

From tone I'm assuming this is a rhetorical question, but I believe the answer is obviously yes?

Statistical variance is orthogonal to profit. You'd do even better by investing all your money in the single highest earning company, but you won't cause it's a huge risk.

I also believe that what scale to use to decide proportionality is not an open an shut case and is actually an important question for each investor.

I suspect that all thinking starts as feeling. Like feeling is fire and thought is smoke.

So to address feelings really does get to the root of the matter better than to address thoughts.

But we only seem to be able to express and address thought, in this medium of language. So we are eternally missing the point. Orbiting it but never touching it.

A different kind of conversation is called for.
1. He took his LinkedIn down after being hired. You can't have a LinkedIn when you have 3 jobs.

2. His output was horrible. He was an obviously a good senior level developer. But it would take him a week to do something a -junior- engineer couple do in 2 days.

3. Lots of strange and unexpected absences.

4. On a number of occasions I asked how he solved a problem at a prior company, and he spoke about the company in present tense rather than past tense. (A slip up on his part)

There were people a few other signs that were more subtle than the ones above... but ultimately I became suspicious about how such a good engineer's output was so bad, and had a theory he had multiple jobs. So I simply emailed his prior employer to make sure they were aware that he had resigned to work for our company. The CEO of his prior company (where he had been for 5+ years) was shocked to find out he worked for us.

The 3rd company he found through YC Work at a Startup, and through that uncovered he had been applying for a 3rd job and actually accepted an offer from one of them and had begun work.

There are whole blogs dedicated to how to pull this scam off (google it). But morals aside, I wouldn't recommend it simply because the stress of juggling remote meetings, standups, sprints between 3 companies is not easy.
Coronaviruses and rhinoviruses are very different. Compare the classification in the infobox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndr... They're in the same class Pisoniviricetes, but then the taxonomy diverges.
That was my underlying point. All of these problems are a problem of society’s willingness to spend x resources on y cause, and it should get very interesting as the population pyramid gets much older than ever before in the world’s history.

For example, I am not enthused at directing a lot of society’s resources at sustaining 80+ year olds while our kids are not well taken care. But that is a different topic.
