In your very long forthcoming career you will find very few moments of clarity. Take it from a veteran of this industry - take it easy , have fun , keep the focus on being productive and objective. You cannot control much more than that and there are always many forces at work which you might not even have an idea about. So relax and don’t take it too personally. Good luck!
During development or with any image, which you need to update rather often, you usually don't want to lose all of docker's caching by putting everything into one giant RUN directive. This is one, where early optimization strikes hard. Don't merge RUN directives from the start. First build your image in a non-optimized way, saving loads of build time making use of docker build cache.

Personally I would not merge steps, which have nothing to do with each other, unless I am sure, that they are basically set in stone forever.

With public and widely popular base images, which are not changed once they are released, the choices might be weighed differently, as all the people, who make use of your image, will want to have fast download and small resulting images building on top of it.

Simply put: Don't make your development more annoying than necessary, by unnecessarily introducing long wait times for building docker images.
CovidNET data is a few weeks out of date and not all parts of the country are experiencing the latest wave at the same time. AAP report based on states reporting more current data shows we are setting records for hospitalized children in several states: https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2022-01-04/... A better criticism would be to investigate how they are defining “covid patient” because if 7% of a city has an active covid infection, you’d expect 7% of hospital patients there for other reasons to have it too.

That said the trend is not great and this will only accelerate with school back in session and community transmission very high across the country. We’re setting new national records for hospitalized adult covid patients too, for what it’s worth.

I don’t find comparisons to other causes of death of children compelling. Nor is death the only serious long term outcome to be concerned about with covid.

The last man on earth is also the most free man in history. Freedom is not an absolute good nor is it defined as "that which produces the best outcome". The entire purpose of government is deciding which limits on freedom are reasonable to adopt.
10%. They will all be offered about ~3 months salary (depends on tenure). Some will stay and try to work through it, some will succeed, some won't and only get ~1 month salary severance now. Amazon is really aiming for 6% actually fired, by first trying to fire 10%.

Because the rational choice is to take the high severance (being handed the PIP means your manager and manager's manager have already made up their minds against you, I've seen a coworker given an impossible task), that means that being an average Amazon engineer will have a 50% chance of being fired by your 5th year.
Not just to a Roman level civilization; I think it'll be immensely valuable to us in the near future. It's a treasure trove of materials, we just need better refining tech to separate out all the metals and rare earths, reprocess the plastic, etc.
Remember the ITC is NOT a court, it's part of the executive branch. Their decisions are appealable to the federal circuit but they are effectively never stayed pending appeal (because there is already an appeals process built into the ITC).

There is an interesting counterintuitive game that is played where the defendant tries to get MORE of their products included in the exclusion order to make an appeal easier.

Sonos could have requested a general exclusion order which would bar ANY infringing product from entering the US, but they only requested a limited exclusion order against Google Home products.

Let the lobbying games begin... I am fairly confident that Biden will not overturn the ITC decision but you never know.

Google also counter sued Sonos over Google's patents in multiple jurisdictions and Sonos has made it clear to investors that this is all a fight for a settlement.
Note that the author does not imply that Delta originated from a lab, but rather that Delta leaked from a lab at the end of 2021, and cites a supporting source.
I think you're mistaking wealth with purchase of luxury goods. If someone has no money, and borrows to buy a fancy set of clothes they might be perceived as wealthy by onlookers but they still have no money. Worse, even, as the interest on that loan will make them even poorer to the point of having a negative net worth. If you owe more than you own, you are not wealthy as you have negative net worth. Inflation someone in your situation precisely because they aren't actually wealthy: they owe more than they own.

This is exactly my point: someone who borrowed money for, say, university or to buy a house or a car is helped by inflation. By comparison wealthier people who are more likely to have bought those assets outright, are not. And the wealthiest people who are - directly or indirectly - the ones lending out money to other people see their wealth transferred to the first group.
I've never worked for a company where the cost basis for RSUs manages to be reported accurately. I've had to correct them every single time.

This isn't a small company problem either - both Google and Microsoft had this issue (though only on ESPP shares at MS)
The rabies vaccine needs fairly frequent renewal (more than once a year). People likely to contract it (vets, pest control, zookeepers, etc) get them. Others get post exposure treatment that is very effective.
I regret giving away my CD/K7 stereo; I miss being able to pop in an album and play it. Sometimes it’s nice to set limits.
That said, there are upsides to putting enough of my CDs compressed into .opus onto an old Android.
But all of that is allowed under our current capitalist system, so then you have to answer the question of why steel mills have owners. Why is it that to have a "workers collective" or whatever, seems to require heavy handed government intervention to prevent competition with privately owned businesses which seem to just spring up and thrive all on their own.
It reduces ambiguity, increasing narrowing specificity by half the room on average. I suspect that efficiency trade off showed up in so many unrelated languages because it was useful. It didn't get more specific because that wasn't useful enough. Languages evolve too.
OK I'll give you that one - my counter-snark was not well thought out. However, I assume you realise that pension funds do not constitute a worker-controlled economy.
This is bad advice and seems like the author doesn't have a lot of experience/ is naive. Quit with 2 weeks notice if you find something better and leave.
500 WPM! I wonder bandwidth measurements we'll soon have to consider with regards to transfer rates in human computer interfaces. I've seen blind people use computers with synthesizers much faster than human are able to talk, maybe even read.

We are still far from programming languages which can make reasonable use of such bandwidth though.
Investors might want to understand Bitcoin's utility for that reason. I don't think this applies to Bitcoin's critics, however.
I really really really want in entertainment systems that I can easily swap in and out of a car, I want to be able to just mount a tablet, and then take that tablet with me when I go inside .

The first reason is I obviously don't want someone to break into my car and rip out the electronics, second I want to upgrade every year.

When I owned a Kia, I looked up that a replacement OEM infotainment system was something absurd like $5,000. How absurd, the cars only 16k new !
On good weather days, it was -15C or so this morning (so I ended up shoveling snow instead of relaxing like normal, got some exercise in though).

My whole point 2) was about how it does not (most of the time it just removes irrelevant noise), so I'd appreciate a counterexample.

While that might be true now enterprise is still running stuff on .NET 2.X and .NET 4.X is still dominant overall.

It will be years until enterprise shops are caught up to where .NET is atm, that is just the way of things.

FWIW it's not much better in Java-land. Most enterprise shops have apps they refuse to invest in upgrading off of Java 6. Java 8 still has huge share though thankfully in the last few years Java 11 is catching on.

I like Java and C# a lot, they appeal to me above the rest of the langs for practical reasons but I don't miss distancing myself from actual enterprise development - that is where passion goes to die.
Tesla is the only car manufacturer that does it right. I put my phone aside when I am in a Tesla, which is safer than when I am in my other car, where my hand is often on my phone.

I use the Tesla UI for navigation, music, answering calls. Usually there is no need to touch my phone while I am behind the wheel.
It'd be nice if it worked that way, but it doesn't...otherwise they'd have just started it that way from the beginning.
joke's on you, I actually would rather my phone wasn't made by child labour. Also a communal system would scale with delegations and councils, not "everybody has to know each other". That's just the local basis.
I've considered it, but like systemvoltage said, it's tough to get code to look good on ereaders.

It's on my list of things to mess with after I get to version 1 of the C guide. :)
> It should not care what time it is. The clock in my car says 12:00. Why? Because I have never bothered to set it. I don't care, and I have the correct time, accurate to the millisecond, on my phone.

Oh yeah buddy? I have it on my wrist with an Eco Drive watch :)
I havnt been to the doctor in fifteen years, since I was a teenager. Planning on taking care of that this year though.
I saw your post and wanted to look at it later, so I did. I know it's in alpha so I'll reply accordingly.

I like parts of your app. I like the idea behind "leveling up" your cooking, building upon skills/difficulty so that you can feel like you are both progressing in flavors and skills. Where I felt it didn't hit the mark for me was the way some of the cards were ordered. I think from the "you need to cook to unlock" perspective, it's good to have all of your meats/veggies at the top, but I found the "difficulty"/leveling up aspect broke down when I saw bread/rice/eggs/spices at the bottom. I would expect in simple recipes to incorporate some of those ingredients.

Color scheme - I thought it was great. Minor UX tweaks but I know it's probably already something you are aware of.

Recipes were lacking actual measurements and I suspect that's just because this is an alpha build.

I didn't get the "competition" part of it. I guess I considered this a solo activity, but if a competition is what you'd like to make out of this, I'd try to call that out in a clearer way.

The sync/shopping list features I felt made the page try to feel like it was trying to be everything. I think eventually it makes a lot of sense to add these features in, as all the data can play well together.
Is Sonos suing Apple as well? Seems like the tech in dispute is also used by HomePods and AirPlay.

I can't quickly find anything about Sonos suing Apple, and in fact Apple was selling Sonos speakers in their stores in 2020 [1]. What is the deal?

Ex: Great Bastion Collage in state tuition is under 11k not per semester but to get a 4 year degree. Out of state is twice that, but you probably have some equivalent in your state. They even have minimum additional requirements for students without a high school diploma or GED to get a collage degree.
Well, you can leave out the year, but then you will be asking why it says today is Sunday and not Thursday.
> Let's start by explaining smartphones

They had electric telegraphs, telephone and radio, so I'd explain it as miniaturized wireless telephones and typewriters combined, additionally with capabilities of paperless networked teleprinters of a kind. Some of the stations would be libraries with expert librarians on hand to tirelessly answer your questions.

> then Twitter and Facebook

I believe this is already covered. Anyone can now own a small personal broadcast station.

> try to explain how a cryptocurrency works.

I'd use the analogy of a network of tabulating machines with accumulators controlled by inputs according to something quite like point to point teleprinters instead of by punch cards. Records with a copy on each machine, would store on a very flexible type of automatically configurable control panel board with a special arrangement of relay circuits capable of acting as a memory, rather than in boxes of cards. Such a machine could track some quantity, addable and subtractable like a currency. I would then bring up the difficulty of protecting against liars and double spending. One solution might be to connect each machine to automatic slot machines and have them play till there was a winner who then got to broadcast an append to the record with the longest history in their collection of records. I'd also note that the more slot machines there were, the more slots were magically added to each. The idea being to make it costly for any one view to dominate the network.

Far from perfect but the gist could be communicated to anyone with a bit of imagination. Modern technologies have had a large impact on life but can be connected to 1920s tech. This is unlike the gap from the 1820s to 1920s that saw electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics, special and general relativity, radio broadcasting, telephone, electricity and electric engineering, atomic physics, flight, automobiles and more.
This is why I'm glad the only clock in my car is a black and white LCD that just counts to 12:00 over and over.

He said he started feeling big pains on his entire body, which does sound odd, but honestly I don't know if he's speaking truth. Do you think he just wanted an excuse not to play, or what was his reasoning to pretend to be vaccine injured?
Alright, well I can't agree to that part. It all depends on your goals and some people are less able to accomplish their own goals than others due to those traits from the spectrum. There's no need for conceiving of utility to others to speak of grades of functionality.
So it lets you type faster than you can think but that’s only useful if you are copying existing text and for that you can just use OCR.
> You have a lot of cautionary advice here which would be good for people to have awareness, but I have to say it comes across as very confrontational advice rooted in an us vs them culture that may be very much influenced by where you worked and what you went through.

Yup, but I think OP's advice should be the baseline from which you relax these things as you learn that level of caution is not warranted.

The business world as a whole has a bad enough reputation in regards to individuals that caution is the correct tact to start with.

"Slavery is you get no money. And by the way, if you disagree with it, the power holder beats the tar out of you."

If you try to withhold payment of taxes, I suspect you will feel a the force of the law.

"There is no right to leave."

Can I stop paying tax without a negative effect?

--

I am not free if I am forced to pay 100% of my income - that is slavery by your definition.

But if I pay 90%, am I free now? What about 40% - is that the 'freedom percentage'?

Please let me know what amount of income a free man should hand over under threat of force if they do not consent willingly.
Could not agree more. The company is not, can not, and will not ever be loyal to you. Ever. They will fire you, lay you off, relieve you of duty instantly for any reason or no reason at all. They've lobbied for laws to do exactly that (in the US anyway).

And they will keep information asymmetrical in their favor. No. Matter. What. In the long run they will be dishonest with you, they will lie to your face, and they will keep you in the dark. You won't know plans until they want you to know plans. They have to. It's the only way it works.

You, as the employee, need to play the same game in the same way. Defensively. Know that you can keep information from them. Know you should only give information that is beneficial to you. Never self- sabotage. Never be weak. Business is a ruthless competitive game, and that includes employee to manager. You have no obligation to be honest in an exit interview. If it sucked horribly, leave with a smile and say it was great. Make it so they'll give you a great recommendation for your next gig. Lie to them like they lie to you. Bluff. Play chess, play poker.

You don't have to care one whit about leaving your teammates with more work. Does the company give one shit about laying you off a week before Christmas with zero notice? No. They don't give a care at all about the disarray this causes for your life. Ultimately you are a cog, and disposable. You are not "the most valuable resource". You must be as ruthless with them as they are with you. It's the only way it works.

Sure, this sounds super cyncial, you can absolutely do this and not be a dick. You don't have to be a dick at all, just think strategically, and know that you are the only one looking out for you, and you don't owe anyone anything.
It's probably worth wondering why you're inclined to think the worst of him.
> Ah, no – this is in the "Don’t sabotage, it’s a dick move" section: it's sabotage which is unethical.

I guess the source of the confusion is that you didn't specify what the sabotage actually is. I mean, deleting all your code before leaving is sabotage. Leaving without notice isn't. What did you have in mind when you wrote that?

> I don't quite follow this paragraph, could you rephrase?

I was highlighting a bunch of beliefs some people have:

- The notion that you should have loyalty to the team beyond your last paycheck.

- The notion that it is you being disloyal to the team, as opposed to management being disloyal to the team.

- The general framing that by lumping people into a team, that there is a single shared goal. A lot of people come to work to get paid, and they do it by providing value. Two people in the same team are allowed to have very different goals. One may care much more deeply about the mission than the other, etc.

- That much of the article places the burden on the employee leaving compared to on the management.

Chicago put the major north/south and east/west highways where they are to make areas more clearly delineated between residential and commercial.

They did this for a variety of reasons some noble (grand visions of urban renewal based on cars instead of public transit) and some odious (breaking up non-machine voting wards, enforcing de facto redlining post the Supreme Court decisions, etc). They were able to make sections of the city, specifically the near south and south west places you commuted through instead of to. Similar things were done with tearing out el tracks, trolleys and the removal of commuter rail from further south neighborhoods that had been alternate business districts to the loop. These were conscious urban planning decisions to reinforce the pattern of outward/in commutes.

American Pharoah is a not particularly good biography of Richard Daley that happens to include a good book on Chicago urban planning in the late 40s to late 60s era.
Human behavior that works well on the scale of groups where everyone knows each other (like households, certain types of tribes, extended family "clan" structures, cooperatives or communes; perhaps kibbutzim in 1950s/60s are a relevant example), probably limited by Dumbar's number, does not scale in an equivalent way to large groups where almost noone knows each other. We homo sapiens simply don't treat strangers in the same way as our community, so a "community" of thousands or millions is a very different kind of "community" than one of a hundred people, so it's a bit misleading to use the same word for them.

That seems to be the major problem with communism - it works on a small scale communities but for anything larger you get the relationships and conflicts of interest between the many actual (small-scale) communities and/or between communities and de-facto outsiders, and there this fundamental basis stops working well; the effectiveness of trust-based relationships are different for different sizes of communities and persistence of identity/reputation/etc.

This also has a theoretical basis in decision theory, e.g. even simplified models like the iterated prisoner's dilemma clearly have different optimal cooperate/defect strategies depending on whether you're dealing with someone with whom you expect many more interactions (i.e. someone you know from your mini-community) or someone who's either anonymous with no persistent reputation, or known to be of a transitory nature.
Me, too. And I even want to quit my job. But this did not inspire me to do so.

"Autistic individuals are, on average, more consistent, less biased, and more rational than non-autistic individuals in a variety of contexts. (We use identity-first language, eg, ‘Autistic people’, as it is preferred by many people on the autism spectrum.)"
