My game was:

- follow my curiosity
- take advantage of times when my curiosity and focus aligned with work
- manage the anxiety that came as a consequence of focusing on things I shouldn't be.

My new game is:

- channel my curiosity to solve relevant problems (get distracted sometimes, but not near as much as I used to)
- since I am more in control of my own focus, my anxiety is dramatically reduced, so I don't require as aggressive management of it as I used to (binge sessions to decompress, chemicals (alcohol, nicotine), meditation and breath practice. I still do the meditation and breathing, as I like it and feel like it is a net positive, but I don't need it to tame the demons.
>However, this myth of illegality of sharing your salary information has been perpetuated by the employers to maintain an upper hand in negotiations. And it’s what keeps down the TCs in Europe, in my opinion.

I don't think that's what keeps down the TC in Europe, because what you are describing is exactly the case in the US as well.

It is 100% legal to share your comp with anyone, and it is illegal for an employer to prohibit that or fire you for it or retaliate in any other way. And yet, a giant chunk of the population lives under a myth that they can get in trouble for sharing their comp info, even when the employer doesn't insinuate so or imply that at all.

I know some small employers might (illegally) try to imply that it isn't allowed (despite it being illegal, but those bosses are either ignorant or threading a fine line with the law), but I've even met some people working at FAANG-tier companies believing that sharing comp numbers is prohibited (despite FAANG-tier companies never even subtly implying that it isn't allowed).

Not sure how serious you are, but on the chance you are...

The meeting spouse in grade school/not worldly typically implies not leaving the area they grew up in at any point. I grew up in a smallish town where this happens frequently. So many people never leave the state let alone the country. Some people never even left the county. Their biggest travel is for school sporting events.

In otherwords, it's not really a term of endearment as much as another "bless your heart"
Ask HN: Best Docker Desktop Replacement for macOS?
On 1/31 Docker Desktop will no longer be free to use on MacOS, and if you have it installed on your work laptop you may be in violation of their license terms.

While I don't condone a business for wanting to make money, I would personally prefer a FOSS alternative rather than have to sign up for another monthly subscription.

Are there any alternatives to Docker Desktop and Docker Compose that people have had luck with? Drop-in compatibility would be great, but I'm willing to make changes as well.

Are you sure team size was actually a factor? I've seen rules/cultures like these before and they always end in disaster, regardless of team size.

Small teams that actually coordinate, on the other hand, seem to do just fine in my experience. In fact, one of the biggest problems with oversized teams is the combinatorial explosion of communication channels https://project-management.info/number-of-communication-chan...

It just seems to me to be the pinnacle of narcissism that so many people apply judgement according to modern value systems to historical figures.

There isn't a single one of us who couldn't be judged harshly in the context of a future values system decades from now, but the most judgmental among us assume that we are the first generation to be enlightened enough to harshly judge all who came before. It's a narcissistic, juvenile attitude, once laughed at as a teenage right-of-passage practiced by naive, Che Guevara worshipping cloaked in fashionable self-righteousness. Now it's morphed into a quasi-religion, complete with performative acts of piety designed to boost in-group status amongst the adherents.

This is basically linting, i.e. code analysis. The techniques used might be more current (as they have been evolving, as you say, for pattern matching) but linting is just that: a code review tool to find usual bugs. (This is what did happen in this blog post. It wasn't looking for unusual solutions but usual mistakes.) The packaging, form of the feedback seems also different and that in itself may make a lot of difference in ease of use and thus adoption.

And even in the best of all hearts, there remains … an unuprooted small corner of evil.

Do you think we can remove all debt without stopping the economy? That’s simply not how business works.

IOU’s are the oil that grease the economic machine.

Personal debt, when used wisely, can supercharge a life. Buying that first car, a house, going to uni. It can change the trajectory of the person for the better. Debt-fueled investments like startups and property improvements are another example.

Shakespeare was no economist.
Coincidentally, the novel currently on my bedside table is "I am Not Sidney Poitier" [1] by Percival Everett.

The main character is Not Sidney Poitier (first name: Not Sidney), who looks a bit like Sidney Poitier. I'm only half way through and don't know yet whether this is significant. Not Sidney's guardian in the novel is Ted Turner, of Turner Broadcasting, and he lives for a while with Ted and his wife Jane Fonda.

It's quite strange, and good fun.

Anyway, this is a good prompt for me to learn more about the real Sidney Poitier and his significance and impact.

But wasn't this proposal part of the move to python 3? strings where broken left and right anyway.
It is positively not illegal in any standard verision of C since ANSI C 89.

It's an essential feature used in all sorts of everyday code.

C99 added printf conversion specifiers that are hidden behind macros, and idomatic usage of them relies on string catenation.

uint32_t x = 0;

printf("x = " PRIx32 "\n", x);

where PRIx32 might expand to "%lx" (if uint32_t is the same as unsigned long in that compiler).

All sorts of C macrology relies on string catenation. Kernel print messages:

I don't think anyone could disagree: you could never exceed 0% code coverage if your definition was recursive (i.e. included tests, tests-of-tests, tests-of-tests-of-tests, ...).
So your for using power to totally destroy all the hard won battles for transparency, destroy trust in public institutions, and feed conspiracy theories?

I don't think you have thought this through. I don't think you read the part where the FDA has 18,000 employees.

The FDA should be above politics.

Isn't it suspicious that the FDA is doing this, and that the public have a right to know and see the underlying documents within 90 days of drug approval? Isn't is Phizers responsibility to submit the documents in a way that protects privacy?

All the norms are lost here. You couldn't find a better way to destroy the credibility of the FDA than to "never" have meaningful transparency on the fastest, most hastily produced, many corners cut drug.

Quite frankly, the FDA would rubber stamp a pile of cow poop if it were politically expedient.

The only way to win back trust is to hold them accountable, for better or for worse, even if it feeds vaccine conspiracies.

Both UD and Wikipedia also list other meanings of the word.

I mean, sure, for all I know the common use where you are really is exactly what you’re saying, but one thing I’ve never noticed (caveat: easy to miss when it’s text and no faces) is a member of a minority saying “stop being woke, you don’t get us at all” (everything after the coma, yes, but never calling that “woke”). Given how big the anglosphere is (and the fluid nature of language), I don’t don’t that this use has happened at least once by someone in a position to actually use it appropriately, but I mainly see one majority person saying something and another majority person saying the first guy is woke without any apparent involvement from whichever minority is the topic. Or, indeed, the “that’s just woke” accuser insisting that the token minority person who agrees with the first person that $thing is bad is wrong and needs to shut up.

Of course, I also accept that what I see on news shows is basically entertainment these days, so I don’t trust even that experience much either.

> You don't let trolls dictate what you understand of any other words, do you?

That doesn't make sense. If I hit amazon.com on my browser, which is IPv4 only, t-mobile needs to provide a (private) IPv4 IP to the phone to make that possible.

iOS (since IOS 12) and Android have native clients that can tunnel IPv4 requests over an IPv6 only network that are used for providers like T-Mobile.

Assuming you're able to actually achieve truly random participation in the various arms you're trialing, you're right.

I'm trying to distinguish between Haven and Mastodon-type systems. "Federated" to me generally means you have many multi-user servers. With Haven, the server only hosts a single identity--yours, since you're the administrator/operator. I wouldn't describe a Wordpress blog with RSS as federated either.
Fully agree, but I never want to see a missed function argument programming error in customer facing code. In python you really do need code coverage to achieve this goal - static languages have some additional flexibility.
In the real world... you're normally allowed to fill more gas into the tank if you're under, while going over is a problem.

So what's so shocking then about the government response?
Pragmatically speaking, yes, and this is the most important thing: The language eventually becomes a lost cause, regardless of where the finger of blame points. Worst of all, programming language evolution runs in circles as people invent & seek out regressive anti-languages in reaction to the misapprehension of blame.
Supposing autistic people are more rational than the neurotypical: then couldn't we generalize the thesis to, "highly rational people challenge preconceived ideas about rationality"? I don't think the research claimed that people with autism have rationality-enhancing properties that are unavailable to people who don't. For example, "reduced use of stereotypes" applies to some otherwise-neurotypical people -- we would probably call these people "highly rational".

Put another way, I suppose I'm saying that there may be a second group -- "highly rational people" -- that intersects and overlaps significantly with "people with autism", and we could be making statements about one group that should be attributed to the other.

(I'm not trying to touch any nerves here. I'm putting aside the fact that the article is a positive piece about people with autism and makes some enlightening points. I'm just claiming that the "challenging preconceived ideas" may be mostly true, but also too narrow and possibly misleading.)
I can think of at least 2 obvious ways to iterate through something: for loops and comprehensions.
And all 5 of them are about as horrible as the speaker volume patent. For instance one covers the common iot task of joining a device to a wifi network by identifying the device initially via Bluetooth, sending the device the wifi credentials and then verifying it has joined the wifi network. The difference being the device is a speaker.
Yeah, sometimes legal strategies are odd. I guess the point is that 2A was always about militias; essentially everything up until Thomas' concurrence in Printz considered 2A in the context of militia readiness, and the draft of 2A was even more explicitly about militias. It's sort of unassailable, but obviously not actually unassailable, because now we have Heller.

Myself, I think 2A is just an anachronism. Militias as they were at the founding don't exist anymore. Almost no one in modern US society meets military readiness standards. Armed forces use bonkers weapons of war the founders could never have imagined. Even individual person-on-the-street weapons are pretty boggling by 18th century standards. And this is just considering firearms, expanding "arms" to whatever the US military considers to be a weapon (software/hardware exploits, biological weapons, chemical weapons).

Further, I think "2A as a check on government" is meritless because Congress regulates militias, and the Constitution (Article I, §8) reads: "The Congress shall have power to... provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions." Allowing governments to suppress insurrections is the opposite of allowing checks on government.

I'm not like, super into gun control--I think the US is too big for a one-size-fits-all policy and I think a lot of implementations just land men of color in prison w/ felonies. But none of the pro-gun 2A interpretations make sense to me, and from where I sit the debate is more a reflection of Congress' ongoing slide into irrelevance and sclerosis as other less encumbered institutions in the US do the actual legislating.

Not using the “posted last week” filter.

The longer a job is posted, the more likely it is to have been filled or have a lot of candidates in the pipeline.

You don't need to modify the logs, you can modify the "score" value and submit with (valid) logs from a different score, and it will go through. However, it seems the author is removing such scores from the leaderboard.

Fwiw, you are correct that the digits in "id" is the duration of milliseconds. The letters in-between are random (found this in the source).

If you're able to time any of the stages right, then you can find the missing variable: rate of gas dispensing (in this game, it's 6 seconds per gallon or 0.1666 gallons per second).

For example, in 1931, the price is $0.17/gallon, and they want you to dispense $0.25 worth of gas. That's as little as 1.47 (0.25/0.17) gallons, or as much as ~1.52 gallons. That means you want to hold the button for between ~8825 milliseconds and ~9175 milliseconds. If you divide that ~1.5 gallons by ~9000 milliseconds, you've found the rate, 6 seconds per gallon.

To generate your log entry for 1931, you'd then have something like this:
{"year":1931,"price":0.17,"target":0.25,"sale":0.25,"id":"k8j9g5l8"}

To generate your log id for any given year:
Target / Price * 6000 = total milliseconds to hold the button. Just put a random letter in front of each digit and you're good to go.

There was irrefutable proof that Nixon ordered the break into DNC headquarters and then covered it up. We have proof Brejza was hacked. To become Watergate, we need proof the government ordered it.

>I wouldn't so quickly jump to "that's an ADHD symptom". I know many people inarguably not ADHD who exhibit similar task timescales.

Well that's exactly the difference between a symptom and a diagnosis.

ADHD has overlap with other conditions, and any one symptom/trait is insufficient to say "it's ADHD". Executive Dysfunction can also be a symptom of ASD, anxiety disorders, burnout, etc.

One needs to relate to many symptoms/traits to make any conclusions. The links I posted are a PSA to raise awareness.

>It's increasingly accepted that ADHD is over-diagnosed

I have been diagnosed last year, aged 34. ADHD may be over-diagnosed in some groups, but it is most certainly under-diagnosed in others (particularly, women with inattentive type ADHD)[1].

Not sure if it's irony or not. After all, this is not really accidental string concatenation but an easy to make type error which can go undetected due to the dynamic typing (and the lack of thorough type annotation in most code).

The string concatenation in itself should not be a problem as it's really just string constants. (But again, it might be irony exactly because of this :) )
