Feel sad to hear such stories. It should have not been in this way. There have been many companies doing remote for years and sharing experiences out loud. And Slack can be used wisely, with just a little bit of discipline.
This idea is now on the roadmap, thank you!
>Pretty much everything uses OAuth2, which requires you to be able to render HTML and CSS, and in many implementations JavaScript.

I don't think this is true. My first (and last, yuck) foray into golang was forking and improving on a REST API client for Questrade[0]. I used it to write a bot that would alert me via push notifications on my phone when certain options contracts met favorable criteria, and despite the auth being OAuth2 the whole thing was hand-tooled in golang. No browser anywhere near it.

It affects anyone who reads the article, as it's incorrect english and makes it harder to interpret.
Think about any neighborhood dense enough for modern cell coverage. Then imagine a database that records all point to point EM anomalies. One could use such a database to determine when all persons leave their homes and where they went throughout the day, even without any person carrying a connected device.
> This would, in turn, increase the pH of the clouds from roughly -11 to 0. While still very acidic, this would be within the range of acidity that life could tolerate.

I thought the lowest possible pH was 0. Perhaps this is reversed, from 0 to 11, but 11 is pretty alkaline, not very acidic. Editor!
Good news for me.
Repeated immunization with antigen causes systemic autoimmunity in mice (2009)
No problem, thank you for the feedback and insight. The tech stack is very boring - I made this thing to solve a problem for myself, not to play with new tech :)
This is long dead, but yes that would be the next step. At least right now, you could only falsely claim someone’s account if they installed my verification skin, but you could wait for someone to do that and then quickly claim their account before they did.
Public Domain Review is such an amazing site. I am continually impressed by the writing and editing and presentation.
My wife also has MCAS, POTS, and a connective tissue disorder that is not at the level of EDS. Was diagnosed about 4 years ago and is on treatments to suppress some immune responses, that has been helpful at taking the edge off some symptoms. It was like tumblers clicking into place when she saw a specialist and got the diagnosis, so many rather disparate, long-term symptoms all from the same cause.
I don't see where gp assumed a vaccine will be effective. Note "if".
You need more initiative working in a startup than most corporate roles, so adjusting to that might take some time.

I would be more worried if they struggled to make payroll or didn't pay bills on time, or there is cofounder trouble. Let the c suite worry about the product, best you can do is hit your marks and get used to being semi independent so you aren't a bottleneck.
Plenty of this research is being done. I know of one a Dutch academic Auke Hoekstra who does a lot of this kind of thing as his main area research.

The average age of vehicles around where I am is 10.6 years, so it is unfair to pretend as if people don’t scrap most vehicles already after 15 or so years. I think a lot of the transition will not be forcing people to replace their cars but just phasing out new ICEs from being sold. The ones that were being driven by those who buy electrics will get sold into the used market and replace older, even less fuel efficient cars that are naturally scrapped.

My understanding around EV production is that it currently takes something like 3 years to cross the total lifecycle energy curve of a conventional car, and then every subsequent year is better for the electric car. Things are improving too as energy grids get greener and battery production gets more efficient.

As I said, cars still have many problems and are a quite large amount of embedded energy and anything we can do to reduce the number of cars around and shift journeys to other modes (walking, cycling, busses, trams, trains) is better again.
Some lessons from chess:

- Importance of overconfidence. If you think you can't lose, very often that belief will itself cause you to lose, as you get careless. Your opponent, meanwhile, is in a "fighting for their life" mindset and will often play surprisingly well. Similarly, when you play a weaker opponent, it's hard not to play carelessly.

- Working on your weaknesses. Anyone who gets really good in chess, has set out to find their weaknesses and fix them, one by one.

- The better the player, the more time they spend considering their opponent's next moves, possibilities, resources, plans, compared to their own.

- Accuracy of calculation. One slip during hours and it can all be for nothing. And also trusting yourself, not endlessly rechecking but calculating once (or twice!) and believing in your thought. Then when you do make a blunder, not dwelling on it but recovering quickly psychologically, starting afresh.

- Learning from defeat. To get better you study your losses and where you went wrong, get to know the characteristic mistakes you make and why, and do something about it.

How to Use Emojis with Vim
The team I worked with at the NASA Autonomy Incubator was one of the most productive and happy environments I've ever worked in. Everyone helped eachother, was brilliant, and the leaders were always there when needed. One of the biggest factors I think was how the sprint meetings were held, and I've asked others I worked with at the time since and they agree.

We would have small team meetings every morning ~5 people, but a whole department meeting every two weeks to go over quad charts. It was the standard milestones, last two weeks and next two weeks. The difference was there was a very strong culture of thanking and complementing the work of everyone who helped on a task. People really went out of their way to help everyone, there was a lot of cross pollination, and productivity was incredibly high because everyone was so happy to be working together.

There were other factors too of course, but it was really magical. Danette Allen ran a tight and happy ship which I'm now trying to recreate at the company I co-founded.
I think it's more that people are getting increasingly terrified by the threat of climate change, so anything that uses and "unnecessary" energy is the most evil thing in the world. Naturally, these same people rarely turn their energy use critiques on their own hyper wasteful western lifestyles.

Ironically, bitcoin is one of the few things that gives me hope for a future potentially devastated by threats like climate change.

Good point, and nice idea about workplace tool integration. I'll look into that. Thanks

Take a look at xerxes901's comment in this post. Looks like they got through to someone internally. And their comment history checks out; it appears they do with for or with Zendesk.
Your comment, along with the article, confirm my biased beliefs that humans are less pattern matching machines than noise filtering machines. Pattern recognition is less about connecting dots than it is distinguishing and purging the unconnected. When that process goes awry, and we can’t discern disconnections, things like psychosis arise.

Tangentially, it stimulates a connection to another though that sometimes flares up concerning evolution and specialization.

> If memories were gained in circumstances that are not wholly relevant to the current environment, forgetting them can be a positive change that improves our wellbeing.

If as a species we evolved and specialized for a certain environment, and now we have changed the environment so much that those specializations are a hindrance, would a past proto human be better at adapting to today’s world, if brought up by modern society, due to better adaptability? Biodiversity is the blank slate beginning, and selection is the forgetting.
Forgetting is similar to regularization mechanisms in deep learning like dropout. You tend to forget details, and this makes your mental models simpler over time. The memories that get refreshed are the details that actually matter and keep tripping you up
Oklo should proudly resubmit asap. This is clearly procedural to reset the NRC’s application timer.

Oklo can go back and forth with the NRC 10 more times for all I care. A 1MW generator is disruptive microgrid tech, worth the wait.

Oklo’s inventive application is stirring the pot. People are talking. Culture is shifting. NRC is working and being forced to grow.
You can probably make a small function to do it, but then it might take more than you imagine to do it robustly... then there are 1000 other "small" features like this, if you accept them all you wouldn't have a small code base any-more. They are just pretty brutal about what is and what isn't worth a line of code.
Sorry, we live in different worlds - correction, universes.

FYI, I expected flack from disagreeing diehards so I watched the voting with interest. The split in voting being almost even with the earliest ones being upvotes. I know diehards won't agree or believe what I am saying but at least I know that many others do so and that they have actually read the post despite whatever you may think.

Moreover, you've only criticized, what you have failed to do is provide a contrary opinion or debate the issues exactly as I have noted above. Nor it seems have you actually read the many other posts that agree with my opinion. QED!
Note about a faction of the problem: instead of single-use plastic bags, stores are turning to somewhat-thicker plastic bags labeled as reusable up to 100 times. To what degree is this because the petroleum industry pressures businesses (either by keeping monetary costs low or by other means) to buy plastic bags? The cost to life on Earth of shedding plastic over those 100 uses is one concern, and another is that most of us won’t even reuse most of the bags. Minimize if you like, but this seems indicative of the trap we’ve made for ourselves.

I grew up with a neighbor who mowed our field with horse-power, and the only plastic he carried was a milk jug full of water—-the rest was cotton, leather, wood, and metal (processing of these has a cost, yes, and it can all be left to decompose without much impact). What’ll it take to mostly-return to this? Plastic-eating organisms?
What are the highlights that made this a new major release? The changelog just mentions which codecs, muxers etc. got added and I'd appreciate if someone can explain what the important additions are
True. But revenue would be significantly smaller (other engines cannot afford pay high per click, and lack of competition drives the price per click down), and revenue is already barely enough to cover Mozilla needs (see recent staff cuts).
I picked "other" for "my employer ceased operations". Maybe I should have picked "change is good"?
Pumped hydroelectric storage is a "big" problem in that the scale is large, but it's not particularly complicated. The solutions exist, and they're comfortably boring, and trivially scalable and redundant.

Moreover, we're still pretty far from the point where this even becomes an issue. We can accelerate the deployment of renewables a lot before this is a real constraint on anything.
yes, i wasn't trying to imply that monoclonals would be prescribed based on a home test, just that testing early would provide someone the opportunity to get more aggressive treatments if need be during the critical window of effectiveness.

not sure why the tests being antigen-based matters with regard to indicating natural/cellular immunity, since a positive test result still implies a covid infection in the recent past, which implies a conferral of natural immunity?
> They can't do it like that directly

Why?
That’s the theory behind Spaced Repetition Learning, and it doesn’t surprise me that it applies to physical skills.
I agree. I built it to solve a problem for myself. Having it be a standalone app actually helps me to remember to record my accomplishments, rather than a GDoc which I easily forget about.
Yeah, particularly the case with a lot of "glue" type code that's really just passing stuff back and forth and not really making any decisions with it. I've always struggled to feel that mock-based testing in this scenario was anything other than busy-work.

We’ve encountered various bugs mostly around benefits. We are subscribed to their top-tier support which has generally been pretty good and resolved issues in a reasonable amount of time.

I am a bit disappointed though with the product and think Gusto still leaves a lot of room for improvement. If we weren’t already tied into them I would have considered another option.
i might have replied to a child of the post I wanted to reply to yes oooops :D
If you're invested in a diversified portfolio then inflation shouldn't really make a big difference. So I think this is really some variation of FIRE 4% ... If you can live off 4% of your savings per year then the rest of it is just do you want to work more so you can buy more stuff ;)

I'm sort of in the same position as the parent. I've crossed the threshold, a little more money or a little less money makes no difference to me. I don't buy stuff I don't need. The amount of money that'll completely change my life is like x10 so likely won't happen (so moving from the "have enough" to the "mildly rich" category) and really I'm not sure that would mean anything to me anyways...

I want work that I can enjoy, with good people, that challenges me, and pretty much all the pay in the world won't make me go work for some sucky place (ofcourse everyone has their price, but my price would be higher than what they'd be willing to pay).
Wow, I've been playing keyboards for years (as a hobbyist) and never noticed this but you're 100% right. Now I can never unsee this.
Svelte is really interesting to me. We use React at my work though and I don't think that's gonna change anytime soon.

I might want to do a few of my personal projects in Svelte just to try it out, it seems really simple to use which is a breath of fresh air compared to React. I really hope it starts growing out more so we can get a good community behind, in the end a big part of these frameworks is the work that people put to make all kinds of things much easier like forms and animations and whatnot.

Ultimately I'd like to say that a lot of uses could still simply be solved through proper css/html and there's never going to be something more performant than that, you don't need a front end javascript framework for a personal blog.
Have we run any centrifugal habitat experiments in space on animals to compare? The ISS is just a floating bunch of tubes.

If/when Starship becomes viable, a real space station becomes a real possibility.

As I read once, solar / cosmic ray radiation shielding isn't about thick lead armor, instead an envelope/shield of air/water vapor that is a 100m thick works better. Is that still the thought on practical radiation shielding in space?
But those don't have to be economical purely on power generation, right, because they also produce Pu-239? Presumably fast breeder reactors would be useful to the Russian state even if they didn't produce electricity at all...
Most regulatory consultants give hyperfocused advice specific to your application, and cost in the ~$10k order of magnitude, sometimes pushing the ~$100k. Given the capital investments in applications, you'd be hard pressed to find successful, complete applications with enough details relevant to your proposal that you could simply plagiarize them.

For reference, our SBIR submission was over 200 pages, much of it containing _incredibly_ specific technical documentation about our system, clinical protocols, statistical analysis plans, etc.

Point being, it's not as simple as copy pasting a known good application.
The article's title is misleading. The study is on war horses from Britain and the smaller horses were from the Norman period, not the entire medieval era. For some reason the average size of horses shrunk for a few hundred years in Britain.
As a wechat user(I made my account during a study abroad in China) I think one of the most interesting feature is the mini programs. They're basically javascript applets within wechat with their own API that do whatever an html5 website can do, but specifically integrated with the platform making account registration and payments more frictionless than even "login with facebook"/Apple Pay. For example you may have heard of their bike share(Mobike), uber equivalent(Didi), and grubhub equivalent(ele.me). For Chinese users, these are not simply separate phone apps, but actually accessible within WeChat so they never even have to tab out.
I have used this approach and now I perceive mocks as a bad code smell. It's worth noting that long and complicated flows need to be wrapped in sagas (which are just imperative shells) and things can get not so easy. I would love to hear what are other clean alternatives in such cases. Still, "functional core, imperative shell" is the way to go, code really fits in the head and tests actually make sense.
Too late. Wastewater surveillance data indicates that the peak Omicron variant infection wave has already peaked in many places. The virus is so contagious that it runs through populations very quickly, just like what happened a few weeks ago in South Africa. By the time these additional test kits are in people's hands they're not going to make much difference.

I want to give a different experience, been through job interviews recently in Europe for a software development job, and it was a breeze, I just put the #opentowork tag on LinkedIn and applied for just one job.

At the end I got 5 offers to choose from out of the 8 companies I was doing interviews with, and I would've probably got all 8 offers if they didn't give a time limit to get back to them.

All of this took me about 2 hours a day of work, but I have to admit that these are all startup/medium level companies, if you're looking to get into FAANG that's another story.
What percentage of developers in Canada do you believe are making >= 150$/hour? People generally aren't that forthcoming with salaries but I'm not sure if I know anyone making >= 200k/year CAD. Am I in a bubble and should go job hunting?
Yes that is true and is a common mistake. The keys at the back of the keyboard should all be about equal width to one another, regardless of whether they are black or white.

There is an interesting "fudging" that has to happen, though, because 5/12 is not exactly equal to 3/7 (each of which should be the width of CDE relative to CDEFGAB.... 5 keys out of 12, or 3 white keys out of 7 white keys)

I actually discuss it in detail here (and all the weird ways people mess this up): https://youtu.be/xwKlKcymfDs?t=33

Here is some JavaScript code for calculating where each key should go. You can paste in the final numbers at bottom if that's easier. They start at the left of C (zero) and assume each white key is width of 1:

var firstFiveWidth = 3/7; // c-e, 3 white keys
var lastSevenWidth = 4/7; // f-b, 4 white keys

// assume each of the 5 is equal width at back
var cSharpMiddle = firstFiveWidth * (3/10);
var dSharpMiddle = firstFiveWidth * (7/10);

// assume each of the 7 is equal width at back
var fSharpMiddle = firstFiveWidth + lastSevenWidth * (3/14);
var gSharpMiddle = firstFiveWidth + lastSevenWidth * (7/14);
var aSharpMiddle = firstFiveWidth + lastSevenWidth * (11/14);

// average width of what a key in first five and a
// key in last seven should be (then halve it)
var halfBlackKeyWidth = (((firstFiveWidth/5) + (lastSevenWidth/7))/2)/2;

var keys = [
0,
cSharpMiddle - halfBlackKeyWidth,
1/7,
dSharpMiddle - halfBlackKeyWidth,
2/7,
3/7,
fSharpMiddle - halfBlackKeyWidth,
4/7,
gSharpMiddle - halfBlackKeyWidth,
5/7,
aSharpMiddle - halfBlackKeyWidth,
6/7
]
console.log("black key width: " + (halfBlackKeyWidth*2*7))
console.log(keys.map(function(item){ return item *7}))

And here are the numbers I got: ( C to B)

black key width: 0.5857142857142857
[
0,
0.607142857142857,
1,
1.807142857142857,
2,
3,
3.564285714285714,
4,
4.707142857142857,

Graeber’s new work, Dawn of Everything, is the latest fascinating read on this. It thoroughly discredits trendy tellings of human history like you’ll find in Sapiens, Jared Diamond, Fukuyama, which simply don’t reflect recent research (and old research reevaluated)
Cog works line-by-line, which sidesteps thorny quoting concerns, and makes it applicable to more syntaxes. It lets you use regular Python code instead of "html-ified" code in Jinja (for example).

Certainly if you are happy with Jinja, you should use it.
I feel similarly about all modern TVs but I'm not willing to go to this much effort - I think next time I need to buy a TV I'll just get a projector instead.

What do you mean? Ivermectin is perfectly legal for medical uses. It's a miracle drug for curing parasitic worms.

Edit; yes, it was fairly obvious that you were simply trying to stir up a divisive political squabble in a completely unrelated story.
Yeah I understand, myself. I'm older, I've been through a lot, and I got through it (albeit roughly). I pray that the next few generations can, too, but as the article (and many others) point out, it isn't getting any easier for the young men of the U.S. and I can't imagine it's much different in other similar countries. I can't very well say "well, just be attractive/funny/rich" and expect that to cure the utter despair that these guys perceive.

What it comes down to is that chemical bliss, sometimes leading to excess and sometimes leading to death in some cases, is a preferable choice to trying to figure out a world that changed so rapidly that not even a teenager can keep up. It's very tempting to blame feminism or media frenzy or whatever else, because there aren't really any changes to humanity itself in such a short time frame.
