Disclaimer: I'm not trying to say anything about or against your parent here.

This can be a very subjective thing. How do you 'rank'? This is not something that is completely clearcut, cut and dry and you are 100% accurate without fail.

Example: I have a guy on my team that is 'more junior' than some others. He's killing it though. He's consistently behaving like he's got 10 more years of experience than he does and people that had 20 more years of experience than him couldn't do 10% of what he does without fail.

Of course you could say that the Senior developer should never have been hired if he was actually a Junior developer that's just been around for some time already but hiring practices aren't perfect, people get hired on one team and move to another and you're the first to actually do something about it etc.
Same. I don't even want to get promoted cause that could ruin my WLB in such an important year.

Without blaming the manager for the decisions of those above them, surely you have to see that this strengthens the argument that you shouldn't trust this person?
The crypto community needs to slow down and understand what "Wikipedia works off of precedent" actually means.

If the crypto community wants NFTs classified as art, then they need to convince other artists, art journalists, and academics that they are art. Then, when the art community has reached sustained consensus and agrees with the crypto community that NFTs are art, Wikipedia will follow, because by design Wikipedia pays attention to the art community for judgements on what is and isn't art.
I was surprised to see how poorly they lived given how much ransoming had been done. Truly living beneath their means.

I think you are talented. However, I dislike the site, I don't like long scrolling pages and I feel like there is too much going at times. I am old school guy though and really love minimalism of HTML sites.
Hi. I don't remember ever hearing the term "natural minor" either hehe. I've never thought about it too much, but I think improvising on a tune with a C- or C-7 etc chord symbol, like a C minor blues, I (mostly) wouldn't use Ab in the scale but A. Dorian is the modern jazz go-to minor scale, I think. Maybe all the versions of So What/Impressions I've been listening to lately have distorted my ear :-) I'd be more likely to use a scale with a B natural than one with an Ab. Well, come to think of it, one of my complaints about the institutionalization of jazz has been that everyone learns to play the same scale over a minor chord! And it's better if everyone has their own ideas...
I observed in myself that when learning new programming language/framework/concept I usually need to force myself through first few chapters even though I may not necessarily understand why. This understanding usually happens later when multiple of basic concepts are in place, absorbed and together help to grasp bigger picture which leads to understanding smaller elements.

While this seems to be working decently I'm not sure if it's only because I became accustomed to this, allegedly wrong method of teaching - not only teaching 'how to code' as this method of teaching is default one in all kinds of school books.
What are these complex decisions?

Are politicians hired to debug code?

To send rockets to the moon?

To discover innovative ways to create profit?

No. Politicians only have 1 job. Protect the minority from the mob. To ensure neutral refereeing between consensual adults. Thats it. Its not rocket science.

In fact i venture that the avg rocket scientist would do a far worse job than your avg joe.

Avg joe understands the limits of his intellect and has a healthy respect for the wisdom of crowds.

The avg scientist has gone thru life being told how great they are, and now they think they know better than you and me.

Kissinger, McNamara, Wolfowitz, Fauci et al believe their hubris to be true and have caused major damage with their decisions.
I do the same, course I only have one Apple TV so for the time being I am using the smart TV features.
Well I'm no scientist, but the one thing I do know about science is that if it can't be replicated then it ain't really science. Seeing as how the code is pretty important for expediently replicating your work, it seems like doing so in the interest of facilitating that replication takes precedent over any sort of "competitive advantage". If that sort of transparency ain't common in your field, then maybe this is your opportunity to lead by example and change that?
That would be a rather surprising result, given that with Delta 80% of the people in hospital were actually vaccinated and the vaccine was not working as well against Omicron.

Risk.

I'm just old enough to remember what the financial crisis did to people's pensions. I'm happier to take risks with the rest of my money if my home isn't exposed to them.

During a crash I'd expect to lose on both earnings and investments. Losing my home as well would suck.
My point is that people lament the latter while using the former as an example. This makes everyone dumber.
I suppose that compliance might cost something. I don’t know what KYC laws they have to comply with, but that is the kind of stuff that needs actual humans in the loop
Confirm. My brother is was on Tysabri for more than 5 and recently got confirmation of JCV. The checkup is however more regular. Blood test + MRI + symptoms check every three months, as if done less regularly would increase massively the risk. If JCV flare up is detected they’ll need to flush/wash the Tysabri away from his bloodstream.

He also got a severe mononucleosis infection before being diagnosed, and at that time we all thought that could have been the cause.

Steam explosions :|

Isn't a sodium fire suppressible by throwing powder/foam on it?

Isn't a containment building that can dump powder on a fire much cheaper than one that is able to withstand explosions?

Also there are non-flammable salts (eg. FLiBe)?
So I guess what you're saying is that adjacent to the kitchen in the restaurant, there's a service window that plates are served through, and for some reason, it has sliding shutters on both sides.

It's probably fine and there are no stories of any sketchy stuff going on at the service window, but.. it's kinda unusual, architecturally for a restaurant? Certainly not what you'd expect to find at a popular restaurant known for showcasing their culinary experience (and, admittedly, mistakes; they're forward-thinking).
It looks like getting together to write HTML. Socially
Especially considering the support US is giving its domestic hackers. Russia knows this isn’t an arms race they want to be part of. Look at our recent spin-up for maritime privateering to counter China, you know we could ramp up attacks on Russian industry and commerce with cyber too.

> You seem to say your definition of "good enough" is based on good, risk-based judgement.

Not at all. I said that "good enough" is a contextual, subjective judgement and is a critical part of software engineering. The idiom "good enough" says nothing about quality of that subjective judgment, despite your insistence that it does.

> I'm saying people's cognitive biases can lead to them discounting risk without good evidence because it results in a decision they are emotionally attached to

Of course cognitive biases (and all sorts of other things) can degrade judgment. That doesn't mean that we should try to get by without it. We seem to be in agreement on this.

> that is not the context that the term "good enough" is generally used in practice.

Here you are simply wrong. "Good enough" means " adequate but not perfect, not "sub-standard". While it is possible you have been operating in a cultural bubble where that term is only used to mean "sub-standard", in this context the meaning of "good enough" that is being used has been clarified repeatedly but you insist that only your experience with the term matters and thus everyone must use your definition. Instead of working to understand what people are saying, you assume that they are using your definition. Perhaps this sort of assumption explains why you somehow missed out on noticing everyone who uses that term in the normal way. Seriously, go look as some definitions and try asking people what they mean when they use the term.

> That point of digression between what I'm saying and what you're interpreting seemed to fly right by you

Another example of you not really listening. I've repeatedly pointed out this exact divergence.
>"not communication"

Don't know about that part of the submitted title here.

There's plenty in the linked pdf about sensing, but I didn't read anything about it not being for communication. We've been using this rough part of the spectrum for both communications with microwave radios and for sensing with radar, for a long time.
Ok thanks, I guess I'm in the, uh, minority.
It sounds a bit like you got things the wrong way around. The guy who reminded you of yourself needed more mentoring, and the other guy was doing just fine.
They likely should follow the money by looking in to who actually made this decision. Likely it can be tracked back to someone in the dinosaur energy industry exerting pressure on members of the regulator to stop any promising new designs.
Well there it is, Netcraft confirmed it.

I knew that water --> steam explosions were bad... but I had no idea that the aluminum could react with the water in the same way as sodium, thus massively increasing the energy available, yikes!
>I would always rather use a tool that doesn't require me to learn the internals in order for me to use it at a basic level of proficiency. Wouldn't you?

In general, I agree, but there is a lot to be said for stripping the cruft out of systems that should be simple. Window management is not complicated - the fact that dwm is functional by default at <2k lines of C is evidence of this.

>If your goal is to make software that artificially requires others to invest a lot of needless time and effort in order to use it...

It is not made artificially difficult. It is just not made artificially easy either. The codebase is organized in a way that optimizes reading it and understanding its function. If you have done anything in C before, you will be up and making small modifications within 10-20 minutes.

Despite the tongue-in-cheek celebration of "elitism," people are more than happy to take a look at your code and tell you what you are doing wrong, and getting my dwm desktop to where I want it took about an afternoon, which is not something I can say of i3, GNOME, KDE, etc.

All of that said, the whole point is that it's not for everyone. If you don't like it, don't use it!
> I'm disturbed by the way they talk about their reactor as a "community meeting place" with their modern glass A-frame without any power generating equipment

I'll submit that a nuclear startup that presents such a stylish Architectural Digest concept for its facilities, that by itself is enough for us to be extremely skeptical of the leadership team. Their head is in the wrong place.

You will counter-argue that it takes little effort for them to hire an artist-designer to create the rendering. Nonetheless: their head is in the wrong place. They're not reading the room. None of us (not the public and not the NRC) are looking for a new alpine lodge to grab an espresso. We basically just care that you don't blow up and you don't poison the land, water, and air around you.

If leadership spend any cycles to spend on hiring a stylish designer, then their priorities aren't straight.
ThinkBook Plus Gen 3: dual display business laptop
Man, I have a hard enough time reading Deleuze, but Nick Land can be totally incomprehensible. At times it seems he takes schizoanalysis a bit too literally - I expect any philosopher I read to have made up at least a dozen words or phrases by the end of a work, but with Land every sentence contains a new concept that remains totally undefined.

And then there's "cooking lobsters with jake and dinos" from fanged noumena.

My impression is that rather than decoding his works rationally, you're supposed to kind of soak in the vibe and the high-level concepts, but I don't know if that's due my incomprehension or if it's the intended way to read him.
I don't remember ever hearing that term before, but you say it like there's no doubt I'll know what it means. I'm curious - in what tradition did you learn to call it that? (Probably I'm very out of touch)
Or maybe I needed to be born 10 years earlier :)
My Thinkpad experience has been a nightmare. I bought a new ThinkPad one year ago and it has been an absolutely terrible experience. It freezes up every 2-3 days requiring a hard restart. I've sent it in to Lenovo for repairs twice and the freeze-ups continue. Every time I send it in I have to reformat my entire computer then reinstall everything only for the issues to persist. I'm about to purchase another new computer because I need a reliable working computer and my Thinkpad failed. Lenovo sold me a lemon. I hate this ThinkPad so much and it was a complete waste of money.
Every single person in China who seeks medical care and who has fever or respiratory symptoms is tested.

Every person who works in a high-risk job (e.g., airport staff, border staff, some types of medical personnel) is regularly tested.

Purchases of over-the-counter fever-reducing drugs are monitored.

That's how outbreaks are caught early. If you're interested, and if you read Chinese, you can actually learn in great detail how (almost) each outbreak over the last year-plus was detected. There are detailed contact-tracing reports on most of the outbreaks.

5G is great for sensing but does a relatively poor job at what it's purported to do. The extremely high frequency means there are issues with range, obstacles like walls and even the weather. A cellular connection that get affected by rain isn't a smart idea. The advertised and theoretically high speeds aren't reached in the real world, unless...

>5G wavelengths have a range of about 1,000 feet, not even 2% of 4G's range. So to ensure a reliable 5G signal, there needs to be a lot of 5G cell towers and antennas everywhere. We're talking on every lamppost, traffic light, etc. because even trees can block 5G signals.

>Antonio Villas-Boas: 5G isn't gonna be cheap. You know, each node, or mini cell tower, needs some kind of connection to it, and that means laying down fiber optic cables, and, you know, it's still an undertaking, and it's definitely not in the millions. It's definitely in the billions, possibly hundreds of billions.

>Michelle: Not only will this cost billions of dollars, but there's also pushback from many local communities.

>Antonio: One of the biggest problems they face is actually local governments, local communities, who don't want these carriers to build towers or antennas all over the place. Or maybe they're afraid of the health risks, which is another big concern.

The point is that, if you know the mnemonic (and the surrounding tricks), you can do the exact same exploring by noodling at the keyboard (or the fretboard, for that matter) and be sure to get it right. From there, it's easy to explore other parts of music theory, or to develop one's musical audiation skills.
>The archival concern feels a little too nerdy/fogeyish to me.

Is that really a nerd issue or is it a business continuity issue? Would a professional designer or consultant ever want to rely on something like this, let alone a large business with many employees?

Could someone explain the purpose of globally setting image and video opacity to 0.6? I'm confused as to why this framework sets that by default.
Until comparatively recently, at scale from 0BCE Gold was exchanged and hoarded. It had specific value, the world was on the gold standard. Coins represented unit value but also inherent value by weight and old coins could be better or worse depending on dilution of the date of minting and so were either valuable because heavy with gold or valuable to cheat because light, and so Gresham's law applied (their use value exceeded their gold value if you can find a fool to take them)

Before decimalisation as a kid I'd handled Georgian pennies and halfpennies in Britain doing shopping, some rare sixpences in circulation were silver and you could get guinea coins at a premium from your bank.

Most people expected late Victorian as normal, young Victorian as less common and anything older as remarkable. So that's 100-150 years of coins in circulation at their nominal face value, under moderate inflation since 1800 with the Napoleonic wars and at least five significant slumps before ww2.

I'm talking 1960s after brettan-woods, and at the same time lire in italy was deflating and we got lollies as change from bus conductors. If Europe hadnt been beset by fire since 1848/1871/1914/1939 I think circulating European currencies would have spanned 2 centuries too like Britain: most of them had postwar currency "reinvention" and I was also handling old and new francs (10:1 exchange equivalency IIRC)
Sounds like a lonely existence.
A view that is both incorrect and racist.

For example, "intersectionality" was coined by this black academic:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimberl%C3%A9_Williams_Crens...

There are many more examples of black activists and scholars who have pioneered this way of seeing the world. Ascribing that work to white scholars denies the people actually doing the work agency, and to reiterate, is racist.
There was a long history of "jailbreakme" sites where one would "slide to jailbreak" their Apple devices because of their long history of under-investment in security.

This site is a spoof of jailbreakme, so using Apple devices as a defense is an somewhat amusing choice.
I have to admit I'm amazed how sentiment on HN against cryptocurrency has turned sharply negative.

I think a year ago we were comfortable with Bitcoin as a store of value but the NFT craze has made almost all of us adopt the "right-clicker mentality".

Years ago I was an INTP but something happened to me a year ago and I got into doing art projects and I lately scored as an INFP. I told my therapist the other day that, more than anything else, I want to plant my feelings like seeds, intensify and cultivate them, compress them into a ball, throw it at somebody and have it hit them like a lighting bolt.

NFT people drive me nuts because (1) I'm not that good at art, (2) I want to get much better, (3) I know I'm going to do that by really emotionally connecting with people and (4) I can't know I'm really doing it with people who are blinded with NFT greed. (Look at the sh1t they buy!)
Ranking can be hard for sure, but once that ranking existsz paying the lower ranked person more is indeed unethical. If the lower ranked person deserves more money, give them the promotion and title.

I could be wrong about this but I believe you wrote a nice long article explaining how the search works and how you're able to search millions of rows instantly. Had some diagrams as well. It was quite an interesting read that I still have some faint recollection to this day. Can't seem to find that link anymore. Would you mind sharing it with us?

P.s. sorry if I'm totally wrong about this could be from some other site for all I remember now

I suppose you could argue it's really just a mind set.. I took from it the idea of classless. Which I've not really used.
It would mean you'd have to have a deeper knowledge of the tags that are available. Which as you said, would boil down to about the same as classes.
Amen to the idea.

- Prefer real objects, or fakes over mocks. It will make your tests usually more robust.

- Use mocks when you must: to avoid networking, or other flaky things such as storage.

- Use mocks for “output only objects”, for example listeners, or when verifying the output for some logging. (But, prefer a good fake)

- Use mocks when you “need to get shit done”, it’s the easiest way to add tests in an area that has almost none, and the code is not designed to be easily testable. But remember this is tech debt, and try to migrate towards real objects over time.

That’s my short advice I told many times. So might as well comment with it here.
Except the real world is messy and doesn't fall into the perfectly neat definitions like the algorithmic or mathematical world does.
Who cares? This is such a trivial thing to pay attention to.
When people are hungry, you cannot tell them "there's no food", or "we cannot harvest this resource now because it would be unsustainable". They need food now, so they will eat fish before they reach reproductive age, kill the O-horizon layer in the soil, kill all the pollinators, pump all the groundwater, burn all the fossil fuels... because if you do it you will be rewarded with food in the short term.

But then the people that depended on those unsustainable feeding capacity increases will have a hard time finding food.
Agreed. I also got the Laptop drive and the Laptop one works better than the desktop ones and supports 4K UHD, however it is slow and the Pioneer is even more reliable (again does not support 4K yet)
