I never said deployments were trivial. I said they were trivial compared to programming skills. And I also said they are both industry and company specific.

Expecting a random hire to already be familiar with your deployment process and tools seems very strange. I've done deployments in many situations and, well, I wish there was an industry standard. But as you point out there are many conflicting tools and using them is never turnkey.

How do you figure? They quote a price for labor, and if we don’t like it, they can’t buy labor. If I don’t like the price of a sandwich, I don’t pay for it.

> Lockdowns, social distancing, masking, etc. for life?

If you can't handle these things as a part of your life you're really not going to like what climate change brings to the relatively near future.

But you don't have to worry about arguing in forums, you've already won. Nobody respects lockdown, and never really did, even at the highest rate of infections I see people wearing masks beneath their noses, crammed next to people in airports. After omicron I can't imagine anyone caring at all even if we double our current death count.

Covid is here, it will stick around forever, it will probably be notably worse than the flu for years to come. But in a few more years that will seem like a quaint thing to worry about.
And anyone that has an atypical route into that profession.

Why should innovation lose support? It would fall under "people do what they like" so the innovators would go on innovating. And if the innovations bring even more to the society of course they will be adopted.
But the goal isn't just to complete the puzzle. At least in my social circle, there is much more focus on the score rather than on just completing it. There are other word games that have a much better balance of skill and luck. The NYT Spelling Bee game mentioned in the article is one example.

I built a version of Bulls and Cows at https://cowbull.co/, mainly for my kids to play. One difference in Wordle is that when there is a match, Wordle shows which letters matched. In Bulls and Cows, it just tells the number of letters which matched, which makes it a bit more difficult in some ways.
What if the US got sanctioned?
We'd need a lot more info to make a meaningful suggestion, but I'd at least investigate TimescaleDB to see if it fits. The fact it sits on postgres should be attractive to your client.
I'll give my two cents then. People are probably not gonna like it here but I think alternative perspective is important.

I got vaccinated in June 2021 and haven't been following any restrictions or rules for the last ~10mo. No masks (unless forced or asked), haven't limited human contact, haven't stopped seeing Grandma, etc. I have traveled extensively in the past four months, including to two foreign countries. I nominally live in the epicenter of the new outbreak in NYC which accounts for the lion's share of cases as of this writing (unless something drastically changed in the past day).

I have not gotten COVID-19. [0] If I did, it was a very mild case that gave no symptoms.

I was in contact with people who had COVID-19 on Christmas and New Year's Eve (both tested positive after the fact, they did not know prior). I got tested December 23rd for a flight, results were negative. I got tested yesterday, results were negative. I feel great though I had a bad cold on the ~27th which I think was from traveling and not COVID specific given I tested negative twice.

[0]: I had a very bad, vaguely defined flu back in January 2020 that knocked me out for a week that may have been an early COVID-19 case. But everybody says this and then their antibody tests show up negative. I haven't gotten antibody tests to confirm and given that I'm vaccinated it's likely they'd show up positive for that anyway.
Very true. We replaced "a chicken for every pot" with "a smart phone for every hand".
That's not the metric you should look for (at least you don't need to). You should look at the average age of unvaccinated people. That way you can estimate the prior probability of infection.

You can go here: https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-cover...

From that, you can figure out that there are more people unvaccinated under 12 years old, than in the entire rest of the population, by a large margins - out of 7.6 million people without full vaccination, 2.9 million are between 5 and 11 years old, and 1.9 million people are under 5 years old.

So out of the 7.6 million people who aren't fully vaccinated, 4.8 million are under 12 years old!

And from 2.8 million remaining, 430k of those are under 18, and 1.0 million are under 30.

From this, we can figure out that the pre-vaccine hospitalization risk for the unvaccinated population is much, much lower than for the normal population.

This is without taking into account health status, of course!

Quebec publishes age-ajusted hospitalization rates per vaccine status, the latest number is a 7.7x odds ratio, which would be even worse for the ICU : https://mobile.twitter.com/sante_qc/status/14791225681667481...
> the vast good that comes from containing spread for mutagenic purposes.

We're never getting a T-cell escape mutant that dramatically increases the risk of hospitalization/death in the vaccinated/recovered.

There's really very little to worry about variants if your vaxxed and boosted.

Experts still don't have any idea how intrinsically virulent Omicron is, and it may be every bit as intrinsically virulent as Delta was (there's lots of issues with the TMPRSS2 studies in mice, while the dominant effect is that Omicron is an escape mutant and is reinfecting and infecting the vaccinated).

The lower hospitalization rate of the Omicron wave can be explained entirely by human immunity. The properties of the virus are likely much less important than the headlines indicate, which suggests the the slow process of the human race building up immunity is going to grind on and future waves will be less and less effectively virulent (although it seems like human emotions are really attracted to the idea that the virus is changing to become less virulent and that seems to be driving emotional acceptance that the pandemic is winding down).
"Two of his colleagues warned him that he was potentially heading toward disaster; another, according to Kriegman, screamed that he “should fucking do [his] job” instead of spending time fighting about Black Lives Matter. (None of the Reuters employees returned a request for comment.)"

It sounds like instead of doing the job they hired him to do, he was spending his time arguing about BLM. I mean expressing his opinion is one thing but if it's to the point that his presence is an overall negative for the company, he should be fired.

I mean this guy knew he'd be fired if he kept doing what he was doing and chose to get fired, so it's hard to have any sympathy for him.

It's like if someone goes to work for Fox News and spends all their time arguing with everyone at the company about how Democrats are great and Republicans are evil, they will get fired too.
But the security of the network does have to do with the price - directly. Its not something you brought up so I didn't mention it, but now that you resort to it you should know the ABC's of Bitcoin: price is proportional to network security.

Yikes, well that eliminates any respect I had for the "founder of Mozilla."

NPK is the acronym for basic plant nutrients. Others might know better than me, but you have those three (nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium) for primary fertilizer nutrients. Of those P is mined (apatite) from rock ore and K is mined from rock ore or brine. Mining and ore process has energy inputs couple to oil price, granted. Nitrogen is ammonia via HB, predominately with nat gas feedstock.

Sometimes we get down these tangents and it derails from the core topic. This is terrible and unwelcome news.

For someone not well versed in virology, can you please explain what that means?

How do you get infected with significant levels of cellular immunity? And does that mean the infection is less severe?
Mildly OT, but does anyone know of a good source for pen hardware for pen turning that is any good? I have discovered that turning wooden pens on my lathe is a good "easy win" project on days that I don't feel like doing larger woodworking projects.

Unfortunately, I've found that most of the pen kits are mediocre from a writing perspective.
Seems that we don’t have much choice in the matter so we will find out pretty soon. That wouldn’t be the worst outcome.
Even if you type without making corrections, you still need to go back and make corrections, so you need an estimate for the time spent on corrections. Forcing corrections midstream is a decent approximation.
I've seen this too. Their mantra is usually something along the lines of "don't believe everything you see in the corrupt Western/South Korean media".

What gives?

I can understand different countries have different pros and cons, different people value different things, and something an American might find unpalatable might not be considered so bad somewhere else.

But North Korea seems to stand out as being one of very few countries that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Odd that anyone who wasn't born there would willingly and voluntarily pledge their allegiance to such a regime.
If there was a serious financial effort that went into a fork of Firefox, I'd be all on board with it. The problem is these knockoffs that you know aren't going to keep up with development and will be relatively short-lived.

Say what you want about Brendon Eich, but I wish he forked Firefox for Brave. That's the kind of effort that Firefox deserves, because it's by no means a bad browser. Putting aside some relatively minor performance issues (that don't manifest with average use), it's a great browser and I hope it sticks around for the sake of still allowing a good level of ad-blocking and such.

And yes, Firefox pretty much still exists in this form because of Google. That relationship has also accelerated the decline of Mozilla.
It can depend on the individual, too. There's an interesting book called Swimming to Antarctica, which is a memoir by Lynne Cox, an incredible long-distance swimmer who discovered she had a talent for cold water and who (after extensive preparation) swam five miles in sub-40º water.
The accuracy measurement is flawed, because the firmware of the device is deleting chorded letters and retyping the chorded word, which artificially reduces accuracy
>>What you are describing is tech support.

No that is customer support - big difference.
I cut my teeth on this kind of thing 25 years ago...it's the stuff that makes the world go around, but gets shuffled off to the back corners of the tech world. Way more interesting and nuanced than it gets credit. So many problems that were solved decades ago that have been forgotten as the world perpetually reinvents the wheel.
There is video evidence of agent provocateurs setting fire to stores, one was confronted and potentially exposed as a police officer.

Tbh, we are extremely lucky to have any video evidence of the sabotuers, most arent stupid enough to commit crimes on video.
Act confused when they do that and ask if this is some sort of scam (because it is).

They would be shitty guardrails if they did just like shit AV is shit. I am not asking you to buy norton but to at least leave defender turned on windows. It stops very real and serious threats. Like i have seen attackers move laterally and they only suceed on hosts where people turned off defender or it isn't updated.

I have a challenge for any of you who disagree: write basic malware that you can use to monitor keystrokes and browser creds/traffic. Easy right? Ok, now use it in windows with defender turned on for a day and keep defender from stopping it for a week! Even better if you turn on all defender features.

I mean come on! I heard this misninformation many times before. Not once from a person whose day job is incident response. Not even once!
Good, this was dangerous for keeping torrents decentralised considering nobody would seed after they stopped watching.
Yeah, I used it for probably 6 years! Despite becoming very fluent I eventually came to the conclusion that the hassle of was not worth it.

This was in the early 2000s and I had to use a lot of Windows and Remote Desktop, so there were at least several incidents a week in which the keyboard would start making the wrong letters and I had to figure out why. It doesn't help at all that Windows' default layout-switcher switches using Ctrl+Shift so any key combo that includes that pair (including select-by-word!) will swap your keyboard layout too.

Sometimes I'd remote into a machine and after dozens of failed password attempts realize I was being treated to Double Dvorak, a much less well known layout in which the Qwerty -> Dvorak mapping is applied twice, due to the map being loaded both locally and remotely. This is all w/o third party software, literally nothing more than Windows just not coordinating with ... itself.

And finally, despite claims that Qwerty and Dvorak could be maintained at the same time, that wasn't true for me. The faster I got at Dvorak, the more speed and accuracy I lost on every other keyboard in the world I had to type on.

So now I'm typing this on Qwerty. It ain't as comfortable, but the number of hours I spend each week trying to get the computer to show which letter I'm pressing is now zero.
I'm a reasonably good cook and this isn't terribly true for me. There are entire classes of foods I can't do as well as restaurants can. Be that because of a lack of equipment, or a lack of ingredients. I.e, I can make great pizza, but it doesnt' compare to the stuff I can get from the wood fired pizza place down the street. Same goes for India, Thai, Chinese, wings, etc, etc.
Though please note that if you "upgrade" anything from a field to a property, you need to recompile any dependencies. Otherwise they will obviously try to invoke the field that no longer exists, instead of calling the property methods.
California is an example of what happens you cap property tax rate increases.
How does that disprove my statement? Microsoft essentially had a monopoly on desktops and software in 1996. Just because their market cap is larger now doesn't mean they weren't on top in 1996.

Does anyone really think Microsoft has as much influence on tech today than they did in 1996? They've clearly been pushed out by Google, Apple, etc, which is exactly what Gates was fearing would happen (although in this instance, the threat he feared was from Java/Sun).
Thank you, I agree!

While they're right, I can probably pick it up in an afternoon... that's really not my goal.

There's this weird behavior I've found in myself, where I don't just want to get started/be familiar, but I want to be good. I think this is common, and it simply comes with practice.

That's more where my... burnout from development comes in. I could pick up the basics quickly, but unless I can get past this urge to stick with what I truly know in order to practice, it's another likely source of 'imposter syndrome' (for lack of a better term)

I actually disagree with this on the premise that all aspects of hiring are a two-way street. I've worked at quite a few different companies in different roles, and now I'm in a senior management position. I feel that these types of rules tend to place companies in a negative light - like their primary goal is to focus on company profits and screw over anyone that might be getting in their way. In my experience, this just isn't how it works. When I prepare an offer, I take into consideration a lot of factors that center around how much worth someone brings to the table (expertise, self-learning ability, attitude, flexibility to juggle diverse tasks, etc.). I then work out a range I'm comfortable offering. I then typically offer closer to the lower end of the range because I'm open to a counter offer (so long as it doesn't exceed the max rate I calculated).

I then fully expect that person to counter, because I feel that it's on them to do the market research to determine how much they're worth. That's what I've done through my career and I've been happy with the result.

I see applying/hiring as a game where the company is trying to find a way to afford as much talent as possible AND ensuring they can continue to pay that rate when times get tough and projects are cancelled/postponed. I also factor in annual bonuses for other employees, R&D budgets, etc. At the same time, applicants should be prepared knowing what they're worth. That takes some research, but it's not overly difficult. As they determine what they're worth, they also gain an understanding of a skillset they can work toward to reach the next rung of the ladder.

At the end of the day, I really believe that the only person someone should compete against is himself. If comparing rates is THE issue, then I think the focus is misaligned. If rates are a concern, then start a dialog with your manager. Most managers are willing to go to bat to help out an employee if they really feel they deserve a higher wage. Just be prepared to make your case if you do that, explain WHY you deserve a higher rate - and it should be more than "well so and so is paid more than me." If in the end you're still unhappy with your rate/benefits, then consider a move, but be prepared to grow in your skillset if that's what's needed to reach your financial goals.

Handle it professionally and communicate... Those are my thoughts.
> Everybody can make their own decisions, as long as hospitals are good.

Wait. "Everyone can make their own decisions"? And those decisions are completely rational, not affected at all by what the media is saying? I would argue the complete opposite.

Why are you trying to bend the argument into hospital capacity? Is your argument that if hospital capacity is under threat then it's ok for the media and government to lie and instill baseless fear into people, solely as a means of a) scaring them into staying at home (to minimize the spread of the virus) and b) to demonize unvaccinated people?

One would think that transparency and honesty would work better than bullshitting people.
yes chat bot interface discoverability is terrible -- in fact it feels like the system you would design if the intended goal was to intentionally obscure the interface surface while still allowing access to it

One logical reason for obscuring the real interface is to make the interface appear more robust than it actually is, so pure marketing, but outside of that I'm not sure what the value is.

similar to home assistants Siri/Alexa/Google where 99% of the creative things you try don't work so you end up with just using it to set timers and play music
I suppose there's a kind of hierarchy:

Can I get paid to work on this software?

Will customers buy this software?

Is this software fit for some purpose?

Is the software correct according to what the customer expects?

Writing correct software is just a straightforward way of meeting customer expectations, which is a way to ensure that the software is fit for some purpose, which is a way to convince customers to buy the software, which is a way to ensure that you'll continue to be employed working on the software. It's not the only way to get paid, though.

(Sometimes software is developed by end users, in which case you can skip over the "will customers buy this?" question.)
You type a lot more than 0.5% of the time.
The idea of typing 500+ words a minute sounds silly to me. If you're writing in a natural language and you can touch type reasonably well, your typing skill is not going to be the bottleneck. Your speed at putting things into words is.

Stenography or other data entry are an exception, of course, but I'm guessing the intended audience for these pitches is the average joe who dreams of writing an email in seconds.
