Here's a good infographic from a country with a seemingly better public information response. It talks about both droplets and aerosols. Simply put: dividers don't help much with aerosols, or may concentrate the particles from multiple users of the same space.

I guess LinkedIn delivers for you.

Since I work entirely remote my (previous) team is already distributed.

But LinkedIn itself has basically little support for this scenario. I noticed that although my previous startup was in SV they started promoting me local jobs as soon as I marked I'm "open for work".

I had to change my location to SV to get SV jobs but then some of those had timezone requirements, etc.
> It also helps not to tell yourself "I suck at math", that's a very common self-fulfilling prophecy.

Wholeheartedly agree, and this applies much more broadly than math.

Once you've built the mental fence, breaking it down is a giant PITA.
The "anti-mask rhetoric" is not about the effectiveness of masks, but the necessity of mandating them.

As for me, I've been living quite happily without one since about July last year.
You’re welcome to your union. Please keep me out of it. Especially in states where union participation is compulsory once formed (e.g. non-right-to-work), I’d leave for a new job before working in a union. Full stop.
This is sometimes an “optical illusion”. Good masks have a metal sheet there that you can bend to fit your nose. However, when you bend it, the outer cloth of the sheet pocket will not follow the curves as tightly, if at all. It appears as if the wearer had not attempted to bend the metal sheet at all.
Thanks ! I invite you to also read the 7.x what's new as well. The debugger got a few improvements sponsored by D.E Shaw group (hiding and skipping frames for example). Hope to have you contribute some code at some point, if not already.
No, we weren't. But I hadn't heard of this one, that's interesting.
> not Oxbridge, which has its own aura

Yes, although they're not particularly well regarded for CS (not bad, just not better than other places). They have a reputation for being overly focussed on theory, and this is also a discipline that other universities do very well.
So another developer thought they could do it better and used ocaml as the excuse?
I'd actually like to see the data on the degree to which N95 masks also reduce the number of virus particles expelled. I'd be pretty surprised if an (unvented) N95 really did little to block virus particles from being expelled, even though that's certainly not what they are designed to do.

But, in any case, its consistent with my point that, supposedly, there are benefits to cloth masks, even if they don't fit tightly around the face. That's not to say it wouldn't be better if everyone wore an N95/KN95/etc.--especially people who are at high risk.
My guess is that the rent takers and corporations simply realized that with Governments trying to stabilize the economy and paying out Covid support money, the little guys for the first time in decades also got some bounty from the money-printing-bonanza the high-finance and large corporations have been enjoying for the last 13 years.

When only the rich guys got free moneys and "invested" it into stocks and buybacks, it didn't make any sense to raise prices.

Now that the little guys (potentially) have money in their greedy little hands, it is time to raise prices. You can't have ordinary people with money to save, right?
www is subdomain that was exposed to the wider internet in the times when people have had an internal network that mattered a.k.a at the times of only big corporations having internet at all. So, a corp.inc might've been the internal portal for the workers, while www.corp.inc was the public facingg page of the company.
They are likely operating on the wholesale markets, which are market priced. For the western grid there is a significantly wider price range of prices. On peak days in the summer, prices can go up above $1,000/mwh in the late afternoon for several days. During the late fall/early spring, there are negative prices in the late morning (like $20-$50/mwh) due to extremely high solar production and low demand, so utilities are literally paying you to use electricity. It's not inconceivable to get to $1 million a year on 1 mwh of storage.

Take a look at the price maps and historical pricing data if you are curious https://www.caiso.com/todaysoutlook/Pages/prices.html
You could try freelance projects on upwork or fiverr. It will help fill out your resume and put food on the table while you're looking for a longer term position. If you get enough experience and/or develop the relationships you could start your own contracting company. Target small or medium sized businesses that may not check into you as an individual (versus the company).
Can someone explain why this is better than just using pumps to pump water up from the reservoir and extract the energy with when the water returned back?
What are you talking about? The vaccine is Safe and Effective, and as soon as it’s rolled out, our governments will let us be free again. You should understand that the infringements upon our rights (at least here in many European countries) are done to protect you because the leaders in the political parties care for us, and truly love us. Questioning this is a threat to our democracy.
Interesting read, thanks. It thoroughly discredits lokar's claim.
That's literally what they are for.
Unions are made up of people, and thus can be terrible.

Corporations are (according to M.Friedman) Sociopaths guided by attorneys who define what's strictly legal, who's sole goal is to maximize profits.

I guess that means there are people in corporations too? Does the transitive property apply?
Wouldn't the cooled down gas expand when heated leading to higher pressure, so you need to pump gas down?
And I'm just here like "Yes, and?"

Any non-unionized company would like to remain that way. It is in their best interest to do so. I would expect them to act like it. Way back in the day when I worked retail, there were training videos and at least one or two of them were pretty much "unions suck".

And this isn't to say that unions are good or bad overall. But I would expect any large corporation to do at least something to resist unions or other sort of collective bargaining units. Because whether or not unions are good for employees, they're always a negative for employers. Because at the very least, unions take some of the power away from the employer.
But you're not telling us how it's great. You're just repeating that it's great.

IIRC, that's one of the two methods they use. The "qualitative" gives a binary result, but there are also "quantitative" methods that measure the the actual filtration efficiency with the fit.

That qualitative test kit is probably the cheapest, but it still costs still hundreds of dollars. Though I imagine that's mainly due to low-volume production, since it doesn't seem that complicated.

I made one, not the optimal strategy though, I simply minimized the expected number of possible solutions for the next step. I repurposed my Mastermind solver since it's basically the same game. Just like Mastermind, minimax is probably better than what I did, but it does solve every Wordle in at most 5 guesses, on average 3.4 guesses.

Nobody is saying that.
I'm not on the side of the dead weight I have to pull at work. Not ever. I'm not on the side of the useless union official who makes a multiple of my salary (taken out of my paycheck) for preaching "solidarity" to me. Results or GTFO. Union people talk like you, which is why Google doesn't need to convince me that unions are bad. Unions have already done the work for them.
Interesting.

The German energy company RWE has announced a while ago that they want to build a compressed air storage facility. However the project went nowhere and was silently buried at some point.
Willing to be convinced == I am willing to here your logic here. This is still just anecdotes with no connection other than that some people can suck
Being a "high-performer" by definition suggests you are operating at a higher level than the average, suggesting you are a minority. The idea that labor policy should exclusively cater to a minority to get better compensated due to their superior contribution and negotiation skills is perplexing. Society requires a stable labor policy. The culture of the narcissistic self which powered the second half of the twentieth century isn't going to work in the low growth environment we're currently living in.
Likely, but not necessarily. My silicone half-face (with disabled check valves) slightly fogs my glasses because enough water vapor is leaving the filter close to my glasses. I'm sure it's not leaking, because I can feel the silicone pull away from my face when it does.
Not the droid I was looking for.

What I like about data is learning from other people’s experience rather than learning from my own.
I did an MBA for my Master's while working FT. So much easier than an MSCS. :D
> "It turns out that leakage dominates over filtration."

That sentence does not translate to "cloth masks are useless". In comparison, a bullet-proof vest may only protect part of your body from danger but it's still better than nothing if you're being shot at.
Must be nice being a healthy individual who doesn't care about spreading covid to less healthy people.
I have never got a job through LinkedIn, even though I get loads of contacts from recruiters - as many as 10 per week. The problem is that those contacts are poor quality. They are spammy as heck, basically mass emailing anyone who has a specific search phrase anywhere in their profile.

For the last year my profile bio has opened with the statement "Recruiters: Please tell me what your favourite colour is if you want me to respond to your message." Not one recruiter has actually done that. They literally do not even look at your profile.
Fixed. That what I get by doing N things at the same time. Sorry about that, you can downvote me.
Even so, I'd assume that a company that knowingly infringes on the GPL is much less likely to demand free support, lest they draw attention to their violation. So at the very least it should free maintainers from having to deal with bug reports/feature requests/entitled demands from corporate entities that refuse to give back.
I accept that Haskell is that language for some. As for me, I tried Haskell twice, and gave up each time:

1) reasoning about performance is just too difficult (due to lazy evaluation)

2) the community seems too focused on providing ever more abstract abstractions instead of practical solutions to actual problems

3) purity and freedom from side-effects cause a lot of friction and make many simple problems really hard; the libraries and patterns to solve that problem are too complicated for me to comprehend, so maybe I'm too dumb for Haskell (though I don't have any problems with Rust, so...)
Which is precisely why unions represent the interests of workers when they are opposed to the interests of owners.
Do we want to always get the latest version? The whole colors.js and faker.js thing from yesterday comes to mind as a very good reason to not want to auto-update to the latest version of a lib.
Ask HN: Are there any noteworthy researchers who have been similarly shunned for their contrarian-yet-sound scientific proclamations in recent decades?
I completed an MS in software engineering while I was working. I ultimately consider it to have been a waste of time and money. I think it gave my resume a slight boost early in my career but I don't think it matters much now.
Try Khan Academy. The exercises (especially with how they focus on mastery), coupled with the videos will help you root out your weak points and even master them. Do not be ashamed in starting with the kindergarten math topics and moving upwards from there. If you are able to power through it, good on you. If you get stuck on something, even better -- now is your chance to master it.

KA helped me go from hating math in high school to double majoring in Math & CS in college, and graduating with honors. I donate to KA now.
I've been lucky enough to get almost all my recent jobs off LinkedIn,

The Easy Apply is straight up revolutionary, because you don't need to wade through a 20-page job application anymore. I don't need to answer a personality quiz to apply for a job . Job .

That said, I absolutely hate the photos on LinkedIn. My physical appearance and my qualifications are two different things.
It's inflation yes but the solution isn't tweaking monetary policy, it's fixing the supply chains.
Add to that number the people who are affected by long COVID, which can really impair quality of life and for which we don't have a good idea of numbers.

Further, when it goes unchecked, the hospitals get overwhelmed, which has follow-on effects. People with preventable illnesses are affected by a lack of beds.
I was curious about that as well. I think it's best application would be to compensate for large amounts of rising and falling generation from solar grids, that way the cycle is daily. Being quick to come online and meet demand makes it good for maintaining grid stability at a much lower cost as well, like the Hornsdale Power Reserve facility https://hornsdalepowerreserve.com.au/.
It sounds like your problem is with the person giving out the sweets, not with the person who also got rewarded.
TL;DR: AngularJS -> Angular.

This has been planned for years, but was put on hold due to the pandemic.
This attitude achieves nothing but quickly becoming that guy as far as peers and management are concerned (assuming you can even get through the door to begin with)
You are sorely mistaken, this sort of battery is exactly what makes the grid more reliable and secure. Especially on grids like Texas, which have massive amounts of renewables.

Batteries are the Swiss Army knife of the grid, they can fix all sorts of problems, from inadequate transmission capacity, to frequency regulations, to peaking needs.
I remember a long time ago, my manager sort of implied I was up for a promotion this cycle, and that same day there was an announcement about revenue being at an all time high. Then the promotion cycle came up, and I was passed over, and reason given to me was that they need to make budget cuts.

I'm a little surprised I did not quit at that point, and I do have some regrets on how I acted after the fact, but it really annoyed me that we just tolerate companies bragging about how much money they make, but then playing the victim whenever we point out that maybe that maybe that should be reflected in our wages.

----

FWIW, I do not think the manager was trying to mislead me. I think he was almost as blindsided as I was. I think it's a little bullshit that the executives making the unpopular decisions hide between middlemen so they can use the "don't shoot the messenger!" approach.
My father once told me that a lot of machine shops used to be set up that way, except that the powered shaft ran along the ceiling instead of in a floor trench. "Just throw a belt up over the shaft" and attach it to the machine you want to use, was how he described it.

I don't know if it's still there, but there used to be a fancy restaurant in the Eastlake part of Seattle that had started out that way, and still had the old Art Deco-ish drive shaft running around the ceiling. It was a neat touch point when I saw it and remembered my dad's description from years before.
ReScript supports Typescript types. Both consuming and generating them. Rescript also uses esbuild under the hood. Lots of great optimizations.

If you're "all in" on TypeScript, you'll love Rescript. It's sooo much faster. Been using it for 3 years now.
exactly this. If these people are as busy as founders are supposed to be, I can’t imagine this thing happening.

If I saw someone do this, I’d probably

(A) not even remember who this founder was trying to tell me about

(B) question this founders account and I’d remember there’s two sides to every story.
These can all be true things.

But could you imagine if we spoke about corporations in this manner? "I've worked for corporations and they are a mixed bag. In practice, they often abuse their employees. I've personally witnessed bosses who contributed nothing for years and just played politics."

For some reason we hold unions to an incredibly high standard of "no problems, ever" but this is never used to discourage all participation in the labor force because employers are often shitty.

Unions are democratically controlled worker organizations. Like democratic nations, they can contain abusers, they can be inefficient, and they can fail to solve problems effectively. But like democratic nations, they provide a powerful resistance to authoritarian abuse and on balance improve the quality of life for their people.
Why aren't companies doing it? Because they don't have to.

When inflation was 3% a few years ago and I was given budget/guidance for raises in my group, I pointed out to the CEO that the 2% they wanted to give one person was effectively a pay cut. The answer? "Well, you can give him an extra 0.5% if you think it's warranted."

Employees don't push for it so businesses don't do it. It's that simple.

What if instead of describing violence according to the tool used, we described it according to the perpetrator?
Try ‘Mathematics can be fun’ by Perelman.

I was a ‘math prodigy’ in school. To me mathematics was always about solving problems, learning any theory/apparatus makes much more sense when you understand what problems it helps you solve. As a programmer you probably have a problem-solution mindset too. If you just have fun solving problems and slowly build your mathematical foundation from there, you’ll probably discover that you don’t suck at all, just the way you were taught mathematics at school was too dogmatic.
that's b/c the figure of 5% is made up bullshit.

What you suggest is not really dual licensing though. It's a source-available license with a free tier.

Dual licensing means that there are two licenses that the user can choose from at their discretion. This is why GPL may work together with a commercial license but not MIT, as businesses have reasons to avoid GPL.
It seems like the RosettaBoy project/repo is not well known at all. I've search information about gameboy emulators before and never saw it mentioned, the project has only one contributor that's active, a few language, not much stars or watchers. I'm surprised that you expected the author to know that project.
Having played around with Julia recently there are two main reasons I would not recommend using it for ML:

1-Plotting takes too long. Forget fast iterations. You'll be left waiting for non trivial amounts of time to your first plot. The latency between tests is simply not good enough.

2-Libraries are just not mature. Plotting anything not too standard yields broken graphs and you have to look for a billion of backends to find one that does not break (hello twinx). Matplotlib is slow for some graphs but more often than not you get the right visualization (except for that suptitle being cut out of the graph bug that will never be fixed).

The requests library is not robust enough. This one is quite possibility my fault. I have received "bad headers" errors for some websites, but doing the exact same "get"with python works just fine.

The impression that Libraries die all the time. Could be just an impression, but it is quite common to find top stackoverflow answers that point you to dead libraries (with the common "use this other library instead" hint)

I like Julia speed and well done memory management (especially from what I saw from Dataframe.jl high memory benchmarks). But right now I'd not use it in a critical environment. (And I also suck at reading and understanding the error messages thus far, but it's likely a lack of experience from my side)
I know of several companies that do COLA, but they tie it to minimum wage. That isn't a joke about minimum wage jobs either, I know several people who work for 30-40 an hour who get a COLA bump when the minimum wage gets a bump. I rather think the minimum wage should be inflation adjusted, just like social security.

Man this hits hard, over the last several years I’ve been experiencing a growing ennui about not having “a people” or “a place”, no anchors that define me and I can lean on for support. I have a loving family, a handful of close friends, and a nice house in a nice neighborhood but that’s not the same; I would uproot my family and move (and have considered it), I have no roots here. This article evokes similar feelings, wishing I had a bookshelf instead of 100’s of kindle books, CDs/records, and video discs on shelves instead of Spotify and Netflix so my son could see what I prefer more easily, so I could group, remember, and recommend.

Sigh
This depends heavily on the industry.

If you're a stellar technician specialised in fixing stuff in the only employer in the only industry in town, sure, the company knows you need that job even more than they need you and so you're poorly paid just like all the other technicians. If you're a stellar software developer and your bosses know it, not so much. You can, individually, take your 10x-more-productive skillset to loads of other high paying companies, and that gives you a much better individual negotiating position than "everyone deserves a raise", especially since your colleagues won't go on strike to help you get a new top salary band at a large multiple of what they're earning even if you really deserve it.
