There is a universal format. It’s called Microsoft Word, and the primary purpose is so that recruiters can take whatever you put in there and change it however they want, so that they can present this to all of their clients for the entire future of the world.

Offtopic, but it’s really great to see more mainstream media use terms such as “pregnant people” rather than “pregnant women”.
I believe I understand your point – therefore I would like to take this opportunity to channel something that 'patio11 wrote on Twitter many years ago:

“Do not send in a job application before you have an actual human
being who has expressed enthusiasm for reading or forwarding it.”[0]

I believe this is sound advice, and the pitfalls you mentioned was probably the reasons that he gave this advice.

I live in the UK and the fact that a lot of people here don't use a tumble dryer is blowing my mind. It's so humid most of the year that normally when I put clothes on an indoor rack they take 2-3 days to fully dry, by which time they develop this characteristic musky smell. And dry outside? When? Inbetween the frequent rain?

No thank you. Tumble dryer is where it is. And yes, on a nice summer day sure, I also hang my clothes in the garden - but for 95% of the year that's not really an option, and I don't want to wait days for my clothes to be dry and my house to have this specific smell that develops in high humidity.
Is it just the use of "flaming pile" that you take issue with or the underlying content of the post? Can I call the channel terrible or something? I don't feel that this content is "bad" or "not good". A sandwich is "not good". This channel is dangerous and insidious and I feel like using a phrase that is on the pretty restrained side of strong language is relatively in line. I'll be more careful to avoid it but I also see 20 things a day on here that are more strongly worded and less constructive.

This channel promotes an incredibly dangerous narrative and ideology that has the potential to do real damage to peoples lives. He accuses people of terrible crimes that could lose them their freedom for life because he thinks they seem "nervous" or like "they are giving too many details" and then uses a false veneer of science to justify what essentially boils down what I will standby as SWAGs or hunches. This is psycopathic behavior IMO and i believe it deserves to be openly ridiculed. At least having some voices say that they feel this is serious I really don't think is damaging the conversation.

I don't feel that I have an obligation to be positive on every topic. Nothing I write is written to elicit a negative response for the sake of eliciting a negative response ie trolling. I write plenty of positive posts. And I don't think the language I used here was even that colorful again especially relatively to the seriousness of the thing being discussed. If something is bad I might criticize it. In this case I think the tone was relatively in line to the seriousness of how dangerous the thing being promoted is and there is a real risk to normalizing these kinds of insidious things if the only response allowed is to agree or dissent with flowery language.

I come here generally because it is well moderated but I feel that there is a difference between trolling and expressing a viewpoint that something is genuinely really bad and it's not very interesting to have a discussion where the only acceptable viewpoint is to agree/support or even to make very weak statements of disagreement. If someone actively supports genocide or something like that politely saying "I disagree" is not a measured response. In this case they are advocating for things that not only could ruin people lives but aim to use the megaphone of youtube to normalize this philosophy. I'm not equivocating it with genocide but it is serious and I would suggest that saying "I disagree" is similarly not proportional to the seriousness of the topic at hand.

If you really feel like I'm trolling / flamebaiting just ask me to leave and I'll kill my account. I get vastly more positive feedback for what I write on here than negative and I think it's because I try to write honestly and clearly both on the positive and negative side of topics. I will try to avoid use of phrases like "flaming pile" in the future but if it's more than that than I wouldn't even know what I'm supposed to be saying or not saying
Wonderful advice. I am dealing with this right now, and I:

- I can't believe how much useful knowledge I have lost (or at least would have rather still retained, perhaps useful is the wrong word)

- how difficult the smallest things are now

- how long it took me to realize the ship wasn't sinking -- it sank years ago, and I'm already lost at sea.

Time to brush up, and find enough driftwood to make a raft, I suppose.

I don't even care about titles, more pay, etc.. I just want to make things that I can be proud of again.

> Depression/stress (burnout) literally damage your brain on a physiological level. It's no joke.

No kidding, and I am finding it harder to get back on the horse and self-study (I feel like I lost 90% of my fundamental knowledge since college. Use it or lose it, I suppose). I want out of web development, and I would love something lower-level, but I am not sure where to even look. I am sick of .Net Core and Sql. I want C and ARM assembly (good thing I forgot it all). I rather program a dishwasher than another web app at this point.

It's easier to never fall off the horse than it is to get back on. Lessons learned.

> At this point you're just talking past me -- and maybe I am talking past you as well.

Right yes, note how I didn't say anything about "long-term" side effects (or studies). I said that side effects would be present after a short period. That's the only claim I made.

Both of the studies you mention show examples of side effects that were present quickly. The 1976 case was a vaccination campaign that started on October 1, 1976 and ended in on December 16th, due to the potential for GBS. In other words, it took ~2 months for the cases to be recognized, studied, and the vaccination program entirely stopped. There was absolutely nothing "long-term" here.

I can't find precise enough dates for the Swine flu vaccine. But it looks like initial trials concluded in late 2009, and the vaccine had been canceled in at least a few countries within a year.

> This is a very long term study and I think we needed it, personally.

Sure, for learning about things. But it doesn't tell us anything new about safety, the safety concerns were known and acted on within 2 months, without any study, much less a "long-term" one.

There's of course the other issue with these things, which is that these kinds of side effects affect 1-in-50 or 100,000 people. To detect that with any power, you need to dose a million people, and at that point its no longer a trial. It's just "the first part of the vaccine rollout".

> after months or years of study... so we should keep studying them

Certainly, but you appear to agree that there's no reason to wait for those studies before getting vaccinated, which is the context this thread began in (in other words, I don't really care, except in the vague sense that they'll hopefully help us better understand physiology)
Yeah, the person who thinks a mistake is "you aren't writing the code my way" in itself is an ego trap. A lot of programmers get trapped in their viewpoint and think everyone should write code like them because it would make more sense to them if everyone did, when it isn't objectively better.
Little Snitch is pretty good to stop unwanted network connections on OSX
Certainly if the only thing I want to do is to make sure a piece of code runs when I leave the block or function, defer is the most direct way to do it. I don't care for "strictly more powerful" if it requires something as roundabout as defining an (zero-sized) object with a destructor and allocating an instance of it..
Aside from “Q who” all of the earlier Q episodes were terrible. But the later ones are much better at using him for comic relief without going into the realm of absurdity.

> As far as DS9 ripping off B5

Just to be clear, I wasn’t voicing my opinion when I posted that. I was just reporting on the speculation.

There’s more to the story than what I’ve posted too. Lots of hearsay published from people who were on the inside at the time too. I don’t think we’ll ever know for certain but personally I don’t think it really matter if DS9 took ideas or not anyway because (and as I said earlier) all art copies each other. It’s not like Straczynski invented SciFi.

> but in the end the shows and characters and plot are very different

Of course they are. Even if Paramount did steal ideas from B5 (and I’m not suggesting they did) Paramount would still have to write it in a way that differed otherwise they’d have been clearly open to litigation.

> I think the shows can stand on their own without bringing up JMS's butthurt.

Straczynski wasn’t butthurt. He was the one who argued against litigation and even defended some of the writers on Star Trek.

> Well maybe that's why I enjoyed TNG season 1-2 so much...

I’m guessing you’re a fan of TOS as well? It sounds like you’re more a fan of Roddenberry’s influence on TNG than his other writers.

> I was impressed at how easy it is to work with the matrix protocol

I think you were interacting with Synapse, the Matrix homeserver implementation, which is why you had an easy time. But I can't imagine the work done by Synapse to sync up with other servers is easy - and that's what I would consider the real protocol.
No they shouldn’t, they supported the project - not the crazed author.
This is completely false. Read her classic, "The Death and Life of Great American Cities." She's trying to get at what makes cities work (variety and density). IIRC she talks about 100 units per acre as the right balance. This is what that looks like:

https://www.theurbanist.org/2017/05/04/visualizing-compatibl...

But yes, she was against destroying neighborhoods with freeways.
I belive the point they were trying to make is that noone needs to give up their ideology. Keep it but hang out in public spaces where other or opposing ideologies are present.

Even if someone does not want to change their position, they can still learn and understand why someone has an opposing or different one.

There are always spaces in which nonviolent or noncoercive interaction can exist.
In my career, I have had to deal with other senior developers who would throw tantrums whenever I pointed out something problematic about their code.

Obviously how and when you point it out matters. Like in the middle of a user demo.

"Why does it let me enter Feb 30th?"
"Oh, Dave wrote the validation on that. What was your thought process on that one Dave?"
I've been told in the past by people who's jobs were to review résumés, that the less your résumé stands out visually from others, the more likely were you passed up. This makes sense if you stop and think about it. These people spend hours looking at résumés that all look the same, with the same qualification a lot of time.

Things like the font choice, the paper itself (recycled paper for example), the length (big isn't always better), the formatting choice, having subtle paper decorations... all of these small things can work in your favor if done in moderation. Obviously you need the qualification to go along with it, but if you're competing with someone who has the same qualification and you don't use platforms like Europass and edit everything yourself to stand from the crowd, well, your odds might just increase.

Obviously take this with a grain of salt. I've heard it from two people, but that's not a large enough sample and not everyone is the same.
Why? It's a waste of money and not economically efficient
XML? Too much serialization overhead.

JSON? Still too much serialization.

BSON, there ye go.
That's indeed a common complaint, though streaming XML parsing is not that uncommon, and there's even a common algorithm/API for that--SAX [1]--supported by multiple libraries; otherwise parsing even finite but large documents (e.g., Wikipedia dumps) would require a lot of memory.

Super interesting, and that's what I wonder: is this type of event happening because of something we haven't even thought of measuring (at least at scale)? No idea, obviously. Thanks for the link
I don't see that he had what we would normally classify as a mental disorder. He had a physical disorder which required him to eat constantly, and the quantities of food he required were not easily available, leading him down a dark path where he ate anything and everything. His survival instinct caused him to eat live animals because he was in such a state he did not have time to kill and cook them and realized it did not matter to his body. I guess at some point his instinct was so strong that he stopped seeing animals (including humans) as beings and simply as food to keep him alive. It's fascinatingly morbid.
I don't know specifically but the CPython ethos has often been to prize simplicity of the implementation over performance.
Also would be nice to have some sort of international standard/repository for a person's medical history, allergies, etc. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets tired of filling in that several pages long list of the same information that every single doctor's office asks for when you go for medical care as a new patient in the USA.
> The Mac II had millions of colors at 640x480.

The Mac II could display millions of colours, but not at the same time.

From wikipedia:

"The Macintosh II includes a graphics card that supports a true-color 16.7 million color palette and was available in two configurations: 4-bit and 8-bit. The 4-bit model supports 16 colors on a 640×480 display and 256 colors (8-bit video) on a 512×384 display ..."

There were optional video RAM upgrades, but none that gave you 'millions of colours at 640x480'.

Wikipedia also notes: "The video card does not include hardware acceleration of drawing operations."

Also, for comparison, in 1987 when the Mac II came out (two years after the Amiga 1000) you could buy a Mac II for USD$5,500 or the Amiga for USD$1300.
> all programming languages are forced to have the same feature set

Good straw man there. Did I say all languages need to be exactly the same? This comment just looks like something you can fall back on to reject any feature addition to C. Its too bad really, as its sentiment like this that is killing the language. Many people are sick and tired of old, crusty C, where it takes close to a decade to add or change anything. I like the idea of a small, performant language, but when you put such a stranglehold on changes, you choke out most chances of innovation.
>What is overwhelmingly driving US's incarceration rate is War on Drugs.

Yeah, that's only a part of it. While a significant problem, drug related crimes make up only 20% of the total incarcerated number. (That 1/5 is still on its own more than the incarcerated per capita rates for all crimes in comparable countries like Canada and the UK, so it's definitely a big deal.)

The numbers for non-violent drug crimes are higher as an overall percentage in the Federal system than they are at the State level.

Again, 400,000 is just property crimes. About 1 in 3 people currently held in jail for property crimes are there for larceny/theft or stolen property.

I don't agree about the 'fertile ground' for crime you're talking about in part because I have never seen any evidence for it. It's in movies, but I haven't really seen it in real life, and I've been looking at the data for a little while now. I am completely willing to be schooled on that if you've got some evidence though.

DNP is a common drug used by bodybuilders to drop fat extremely quickly. Like 20 pounds in 2 weeks quickly. It basically turns your metabolism up to 125% of normal. They describe themselves as being hot and sweaty at all times…though they do also say it destroys their appetite.
Fun fact…it was originally developed as an explosive in WW1 and it was observed the workers in the munitions factories were losing tons of weight (and dying). Turns out DNP is a poison. Who would have guessed.

"But now imagine I said statistically black men are more likely to be incarcerated, but the story was therefore I should keep those damn criminals away from me."

1. I would correct the accuracy of your statement: it is an unmitigated disgrace that per capita black men are still more likely to be incarcerated than are whites. (And this is in fact the case.)

It's now 157 years since the Civil War - a war in which more Americans were killed than in all other wars combined - which was fought to end slavery, yet black men are still not really 'free' when they are still discriminated in this way. Institutional racism and many other factors are at work here, and it is the failings of American white society as well as biased and unfair policing and justice systems that allow this inequity to still happen.

2. Your analogy is flawed for this reason: viruses will attack and possibility kill me for no other reason than I exist and that I am sufficiently nearby for them to do so. On the other hand black men don't do that (I feel quite safe in their company and have always done so - I could never say that about lethal viruses).

3. Whether you take back your statement not is immaterial, I'll answer your question anyway.

I can truthfully say that I do not know anyone, friends, work colleagues, etc. with whom I associate and who is not fully vaccinated (they've all been vaccinated and there's been no drama about it).

However, if I were in the hypothetical situation that you've outlined then I would tell that person to immediately get vaccinated stating that he/she is endangering my health along with everyone else that we commonly associate with. I would then state and reiterate for emphasis that if he/she did not do so forthwith then I would report him/her. (I do not believe in being a tittle-tattle unless the person is acting in an extreme or life threatening way and even then I'd always warn him/her first.)
that was a piece i was trying to illustrate in my question; passively though. many think farm/agro work is physical it is but I'd hedge that its more "mind" work than physical. from marketing strategies, being able to communicate, laugh, enjoy the space etc. Moreover now folks like myself in the space are seeking to develop awesome digital/and physical bartering systems. Thing is when one really works land your realize that you need the folks ( Plants, animals etc) to which (mainstream)MS excludes from the space.
I don't entirely disagree, but ...

Think of it this way: If the employee doesn't deliver on a major obligation, there is no apology, I'll do better next time; they are gone.

It's true that DOM parsers will have a hard time. But event-based, SAX-style parsers have no issue with an unclosed document, and there are plenty of those around (and were around, back in the heyday of XMPP).

It sure seems like you're trying to force a perspective without taking some fundamental human nature factors into account. Or deliberately ignoring them. But I'll go with just not realizing one thing... there's a lot of things about close quarters residency that a great many people ACTIVELY F'ING DESPISE. Noise, smells, and just... well, meet enough people and you may develop slightly less positive opinions of them as a whole and choose to live with some degree of space/separation that's not "ideal" from an efficiency standpoint.

Sure, the numbers say living like a meat popsicle is absolutely more 'cost effective' but that's a hard-pass from me.

Unfortunately the lack of a standardised format hasn’t stopped technology from being developed which automatically reviews CVs before they hit a human. The tech is already out there.

The problem we have currently is that some CVs fail that review because they’re in a format that the tools cannot parse. If you’re CV is strong but you’re seeing fewer responses despite having a prettier CV compared to your peers, then that might be the reason. So from your stance standardisation might actually help the industry rather than harm it.
