Definitely seems like alfon's solution is faster/better, as it's more accurate when the game speeds up. However, it's also more resource intensive! getBoundingClientRect (used to at least, long time I go I did browser performance stuff) forces a new layout calculation each time it's called, which is one of the most expensive things you can do in the DOM, and can lead to jank in the website. Some more information here: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/r...

It's really the same way I want to know how many people die of Lung cancer that aren't smokers so I can get radon detectors for home and not be around people that smoke and potentially any other risk factors I'm at.

Come on. The stats support colleges. You need to provide more than anecdotes to be taken seriously. I could just as easily blurt out that I make more than all of his 5 kids combined because I went to college and boom, anecdote refuted. This isn’t how it’s done in conversations worth having.

I seriously doubt the scientific approach includes Wikipedia.
They've certainly passed significant legislation towards covid, yet have not included vaccine mandates in any.

My guess is that by the time anything got through, we'll be past the omicron surge and Americans will be talking inflation and elections.

We might also hear some musing about the conservative supreme court and needing to expand it to change the majority.

MongoDB because mongo is a derogartory word in my language. It is an abbreviation of Mongoloid, was (apparently) used to describe people with Down syndrome, thought I've never heard it used for that. It's more colloquially used to describe people who act wierd or something that are stupid or made in a wierd way.

Svelte, the javascript framework is also something I've kind of avoided so far due to its name. While it doesn't really mean anything in my native tongue as far as I know, it is a very plausible word/spelling and it kinda just sounds unappealing. I can't help but reading it like that either.

I guess there's quite some truth to that, especially with regards to the cultural differences.
“Poach senior leadership out from under” means “steal away from.” So it’s easy to hire senior leadership from companies run by Musk. “Cry uncle” is an idiom meaning “admit defeat”. So they work there for 18 months, realize they can’t handle it, and admit defeat and quit.

Oh, hai? I mean, I have not actually attempted to EV convert. I do have an 84 SPG in half-disassembled condition in my garage. Brake lines corroded out, so I have to bend new ones and am too lazy to do it so it's sat for a few years. Like all old 900s in the northeast it has rust. Fender arches. But unlike the other 900 I had, the floorpan isn't corroded out. Engine ran at one point, probably would again. No idea about transmission (manual), might be ok. Interior is all pulled out so I could get at the brake lines.

Oh, and I'm in Ontario.

This is not a good analogy as it seems to go very much into details.

If you're a builder I might expect you to know when to use a steel beam rather than timber even if you don't know by heart what grade and size for any random load (I don't know anything about building but that feels like the right level).

Likewise, if you're a software engineer I expect you to know what's a hash table, a binary tree, a linked list, etc., what are their pros and cons, and when you might want to use each of them. But in general I don't expect you to be able code a tree inversion off the top of your head. Obviously expectation of detailed and specific knowledge has to depend on previous experience and role.

One of the things I always wonder with giant relational database is. How much of the "typical relational stuff" are they actually using?

Do they have constraints on rows? Are they using views or do they just denormalize and duplicate? Do they use joins at all? Are they even doing more than 1 thing in a transaction?

That's true, but it's largely the result of a glut of degrees in the job market, as well as high unemployment. As people start figuring this out, and as demand for work outpaces supply (both are starting to happen) you're going to see the smart employers drop these shenanigans and the dumb ones go out of business or start paying degrees what they're worth if they insist on it.
We already define time relative to 1970-01-01, relative to the mean solar noon in Greenwich.

You'd be surprised at how in some places in Europe the differential in taxes compared to the United States is not as significant as you would expect. When you factor in state and federal taxes it's not that unusual to pay upwards of 35-40% in annual taxes. The difference is at least a lot of the European countries have something to show for it (subsidized education, universal healthcare, etc).

While this is likely true, the problem is W2 labor tends to be compensated on a more or less fixed price per unit of time basis, and to cover that cost, you need to bill clients roughly in proportion to total labor time spent, and most clients aren't going to purchase something for an unknown price to be named later. So you need to estimate to give them a price.

From the perspective of the seller, these estimates don't even need to be "accurate" as long as you're making many of them and the errors are symmetrically distributed. There's even math theory behind this called Fermi estimation. The problem is, from the client perspective, they can't average out the errors over many estimates if they're only buying one thing, and from the seller perspective, I don't think our errors are symmetrically distributed. Instead, we consistently underestimate how long something will take.

It's not even unique to software. There's a huge housing boom going on where I live, with condo developments all over the place, and not a single one is actually ready to open by the season their sign out front claims they'll be open.

You might be misinformed, or it may just be an issue or perception. Politically, Florida has been the state that simultaneously pushed vaccines AND monoclonals. The oft-hated governor was steamrolled and kicked in the face in the media for this. The media claimed that he wasn't promoting vaccines enough, and that monoclonals detracted from the message of vaccination. Eventually the most hated and attacked governors plan was copied and executed by other states at the direction of the Biden admin.

Monoclonals saved tens of thousands of lives in Florida, and when other states decided to start saving lives and using monoclonals in the way that Florida was using them, Joe Biden Federalized the supply, in some way shape or form, and put limits on the number available to Florida. The federal government claims it is a supply issue.

As to how the issue is portrayed in the press, I will let you read between the lines, as the issue developed in September:

"After urging providers for months to ramp up use of monoclonal antibody treatments that could prevent some people with COVID-19 from ending up in the hospital, the Biden administration says a "substantial" surge in demand from a handful of states has forced officials to impose new limits on orders for the drugs.

Seven states — Alabama, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia, and Louisiana — made up 70% of orders for monoclonal antibodies in recent weeks, according to the spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, which manages supplies of the treatments purchased by the federal government. Overall, orders for the drugs since mid-July have climbed 20-fold.

Of those states, only Florida has fully vaccinated more than half of its total population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The others rank in the bottom 10 states for vaccinations nationwide. All seven rank among the top half of states with the highest rates of daily COVID-19 hospitalizations in recent weeks."(1)

As you can see, the demonization and othering of monoclonal antibody using states is not in dispute. The press loves to innuend that monoclonals are not necessary if vaccinations have been pushed hard enough, and that monoclonals shouldn't be wasted on the unvaxxed, and should be saved for more worthy, vaxxed candidates.

Whether it's a supply issue or a punishment is up to interpretation.

I know a lot of people who despise GNOME 3 on the whole, but I'm willing to defend it for what it is. If you've ever used a touchscreen Linux device, it becomes a whole lot easier to appreciate what they did with the toolkit. GTK apps just... work on a touchscreen. No modifications or fancy-pants libraries required. They also work really well on desktop too, with nice plump interactive elements that make sense for the category of devices that it's targeting. It looks equally as spiffy at 200% scaling as it does at 100%, and it's snappy as all hell.

I don't speak for everyone, but GTK3 is the unofficial "native" toolkit for Linux. QT isn't far behind (I've been using Plasma since GNOME 40 and it's a blast), but GTK3 just feels... right. Also licensing and custom stylesheets yadda yadda yadda.
There is information out there for things you can do, but it's largely been labeled anti-vax because it's often paired with questions about the need for vaccines in healthy individuals.

Two issues:

2. My personal phone became unusable for the rest of the event because people thought that number was a general event organizer contact mechanism. This was a big deal because I was a key member of the operations staff and really needed my phone to be useful.

Solving (1) and (2) was certainly doable, but twilio solved the problem for us and I had higher impact IT stuff to be working on for the org.
> your SQL engine’s parameterized query features so
> it properly escapes variables when building SQL

This is wrong. Parameterized queries do not build an SQL string by escaping the input. The input is actually sent to the database separately from the SQL.

Well, in all sane implementations, anyway. PHP has an PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES option that does build SQL from a parameterized query. And, of course, Wordpress has $wpdb->prepare() that returns an SQL string with the parameter escaped. Also, so far as I know, one cannot run a prepared statement from the SQLite CLI, so no parameterized queries there either:

I did a little googling, and still find the answers are "logical replication, which is slow for large DB's" or "pg_upgrade, which requires nontrivial downtime".

Gitlab wrote a much more in-depth rundown in 2020 of a pg_upgrade, which in their case took 2h of downtime and 4h total time: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2020/09/11/gitlab-pg-upgrade/ (submitted to HN here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29926316). They included a video of the whole thing which is pretty incredible.
Tricky. In a book called “Ending Medical Reversal” the authors talk about how difficult it is to run a controlled study on diet all, and how the effect sizes are really small.

That’s not to say it doesn’t matter — just that it’s hard to get a good clean signal without confounding variables.

Everyone has their opinions. I think the best way to move forward is to get a lay of the land by reading PubMed, some popular books on diet, and just follow your interests. It’s a nuanced and complex topic, and it’ll take time to make sense of it all.

Back during my phd I worked in a project that set up sms transponders onto the handles of water handpumps in kenya.

So whenever a pump was misbehaving or broke, we would observe it all on a webpage and a technician would be alerted to fix it.

Later on some ML was strapped to the SMS data to predict failing pumps before they failed.

Good stuff. sms can be very powerful in the right setting.

Don't know what the author means by free here though. Sms is something you pay for, one way or another.

I take ownership of my role, and I’ve made substantial lifestyle choices to ameliorate my impac, but don’t act like Chevron is some innocent actor born along by the cruel currents of an uncaring market - they have spent substantial energy and resources making this problem worse in ways not core to their business, and they have done so intentionally and knowingly. They bear more blame than any individual does, both collectively and proportionally.
