The silver lining is that really 99% of the time it just doesn't matter. I just explicitly initialize everything to zero/nullptr (unless I have a specific reason to want a different explicit value), and I only worry about looking up the particular rules if I need them in a situation where I know initialization can be a significant cost like a gigantic array. It is annoying to look up every time that happens but it's not that often.
I find this line of thinking frustrating and dismissive of new(er) technology. Is "blockchain" necessary for anything? Probably not.

Show them stories of other organizations that made the transition, then show how the platforms you are pitching will help them bring their past traditions forward and tell their own stories in an authentic _and_ accessible way.

Demonstrate that part of your mission is to make their work more accessible, and to make better, more sustainable connections possible with their audience.

Show them survey results from their best customers if possible.

Do all this while playing down your own interest in the matter, so that you don't become synonymous with their disinterest. This will give you more retries, if you want them.

(Keeping in mind that if there's any dragging sensation, dragging clients through anything is almost never enjoyable for either side, and sometimes it's better to spend the time pitching to someone who already shows general interest and experience in the kind of work you do...)

> 2- don’t pretend vaccines are 100% safe, report about side effects, and communicate about ongoing investigations around them. Saying « everything’s fine » when you can easily find online testimonies of people having horrible side effects, is NOT the good approach.

This was and is being done. Anti vaxxers are aware and are making plentiful use of the open data sharing being done by governments and researchers on vaccine risks.

For instance, the J&J vaccine rollout was paused in the USA due to an extremely rare side effect - costing lives in the vain hope of making people feel that the government was being cautious and safety-focused. In other countries such as Australia, government scientific committees delayed the rollout of vaccines such as AstraZeneca to certain populations out of fear of side effects as well. Governments have published statistics and discussed the myocarditis and pericarditis risk from mRNA vaccines.

Unfortunately in the age of the internet, people aren’t actually reading hundred page papers and getting degrees in statistics to evaluate published risks of myocarditis or blood clots - hearing their favorite podcaster bring in a guest who warns the vaccine is more dangerous than the virus is enough to convince an antivaxxer to stay in danger.

> We still have 0 statistics about >2 years side effects. By definition.

It’s equally true that we have zero statistics about the side effects of the virus after two years… what is known is that vaccine side effects typically occur within 60 days of administration. Just like we have no data the Sun will rise next morning , but we assume the laws of physics keep working because they always have worked that way.

For better or worse, Unbound's billing is designed to be apples-to-apples comparable to Lambda. Lambda bills for real time (or, technically, memory-time), not for CPU usage. Although, for 128MB instances, Lambda throttles the CPU to something like 1/8 speed. Since Workers doesn't throttle, Workers Unbound billing is actually based on either real time or 8x CPU time, whichever is larger, in order to maintain direct comparability.

On the other hand, CPU limits are based on CPU time. In the original "Bundled" pricing model, we didn't charge for time, but we did limit CPU time to 50ms. Unfortunately, we discovered that very few people actually understand what this means, and most users assumed we were limiting real time to 50ms, leading to a lot of confusion. So that was another motivation for basing billing on real time instead.
> Imagine if somebody said you were required to take an injection which infected you with omicron, else you would be prohibited from participating in society.

But we just have to imagine that, since it doesn't occur in reality, right? Vaccines actually have some verification before they are thrown into the world, they aren't just injecting Omicron into your blood stream (which, actually, many anti vaxxers would prefer, since they are paranoid about mRNA vaccines for some reason).

I partner in a firm these days (20 years) and in the past I was a permie and then a contractor (UK). 'résumé (henceforth "CV")' - I've seen a few and written one or two. I'm an IT sysadmin (time served) with an Engineering degree. My firm is an IT firm - not a cool one and rather small.

There is a trade off between prose and detail. You need to get across your persona and your skills. Skills are more important in general, but some particular detail may score highly. A decent layout and formatting may score too (I used to teach DTP) - don't bother with handwritten unless your cursive is prettier than mine and instantly legible.

When I'm faced with a waffle of CVs then I sort them into piles, most of which is a bin. It's tough, really tough and I do know what it is like on the other side too, so I do take pity occasionally, when I spot something that piques my interest on a CV that is probably doomed.

So, my advice is (for IT):
* Two sides max (duplex, so one sheet printed on both sides). Front side has pertinent detail and back side has extra stuff. You need to be brief. Even a pdf has "pages", but P1 should present you effectively.
* Keep the schooling (pre college) bit very concise. Bear in mind that's confirmatory stuff and not so important but we are used to seeing your life in roughly timeline order so don't be too cute!
* Describe your skills. Now this is hard to get right. I suggest you dump modern names of systems but not versions unless it is important.
* Previous employment. Keep it very concise. I don't really care who they are but I might be interested in particular technologies.

Now I've written the above, it's a bit more complicated than that ... ish.

When you are on one side of a desk and some bloke who might pay you is on the other side, just remember that a contract is two sided. Make sure that when you agree to a contract (employment for example) that you are as happy to do so as the other side.

Can confirm - I spent a year doing C++ because the recruiter thought it was the same thing as C#.
It's true it's less typing, but it's not too hard to engineer a macro on top of destructors to get defer behavior (C++ at least will let you define a type inside a function, so the macro can expand to a trivial type with a destructor containing the users code then make a dummy instance on the stack). It is however impossible to do it the other direction. Also no reason we can't have both.
This sounds like an issue of syntax vs semantics, both of which would be relevant to building any sort of fair (as possible) data format.

I've tried to set up some Matrix projects. The Client-Server API is easy to work with, but as soon as encryption is involved, things start getting messy. Many libraries have a hard time working right with E2EE enabled, because suddenly you need to keep track of all manner of things that aren't always documented well.

I tried to hack E2EE in by using Pantalaimon [0] but running that on a server with the necessary management capabilities is very tricky and doesn't do cross signing, so I've come to the conclusion that it's effectively useless for my use cases.

Every now and then I check back on the current state of E2EE in libraries and it does seem to be improving. Hopefully the entire process becomes easier next time I get the time to work on my proof of concept code.

I think the science around blue-light-blocking glasses is being seriously questioned (and in my own experience, detailed in my other comment, most of the models on the market don't have any discernible effect).

But I believe the science does indicate that circadian rhythm regulation by the human body is strongly influenced by external light, and specifically blue light.

This doesn't mean that "blue light blocker" glasses work, though. And most of them don't even actually block blue light, they just diminish it somewhat.

I read the book Why We Sleep, by UC Berkeley professor and sleep researcher Matthew Walker, and that is one of the topics covered in the book. (In addition to sleep being fascinating topic generally that book has a number of practical suggestions for better sleep which have helped me, such as setting your bedroom temperature colder and using blackout curtains), so I recommend it if those things are of interest.

Do you eat foods containing tomato's?

I found after paying close attention for less than a year to the foods I eat, that when I consume foods containing tomato in any form or amount, that my fingers/hands (occasionally wrist) hurt (and pop) like mad for a few days.

Basically very similar symptoms to what you suffer from.

I also have much more general body pain and feel a bit sluggish and dull after eating tomato foods, even reasonably small amounts.

When I avoid tomato's my hands and body are pain free, so after quite a bit of research it's clear tomato causes an inflammatory reaction in my body, so I avoid them for the most part (sad face).

This may appear to be quackery, but it works for me, so I'm hoping it will lead to an alternate path than what you've been pursuing, and it will prove of some positive value in helping you out.

> ...how does that "lose taste" under heat?

My experience (limited as is), if salt is added in the boiling water prior to putting veggies or meat, it would be eventually absorbed and also diluted with the moisture and the flavor of the veggies and meat. This also reduces the "contrast" between the flavors, thus prompting more salt added at serving.
Not sure why it would be. Huge companies are bureaucracies and bureaucracies have procedures. The HR person was just following the procedure so she didn't get fired. You really can't blame her for that. I could see finding it frustrating but I don't think of it as strange or frightening.
If thievery keeps going up like this and law enforcement continues to take a kid gloves approach to this, there are two likely outcomes: the cost simply gets passed on to the consumer or we get a Pinkerton re-incarnation.

> This new fakerjs isn't the old project, technically or practically speaking (technically being the important part here).

No, it's definitely a continuation of the old project.

Marak deleted the old project. It's now just a non-functional GitHub repo with a Readme that says "What really happened with Aaron Swartz?". Nobody would consider that to be more like the original fakerjs than this active fork that, literally, retains the original fakerjs.

> So funding attached to the old project should be still attached to that now-abandoned fakerjs

Not just abandoned. It's deleted. Or at least rendered useless, devoid of history, and non-functional.

Why would they continue funneling money to that? Why would they not give money to the actual project as it continues?

> That's one reason why many places (correctly) forbid masks with valves.

No wrong. The CDC has written guidelines here in favor of exhalation valves on N95 masks (which are filtered), the guidelines specifically recommend against not forbidding such masks if they are NIOSH-approved N95 ones:

from https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/respirator-use...

My N95 filtering facepiece respirator has an exhalation valve. Is that ok? Will it protect both me and others?

Yes, an N95 filtering facepiece respirator will protect you and provide source control to protect others. A NIOSH-approved N95 filtering facepiece respirator with an exhalation valve offers the same protection to the wearer as one that does not have a valve. As source control, findings from NIOSH research suggest that, even without covering the valve, N95 respirators with exhalation valves provide the same or better source control than surgical masks, procedure masks, cloth masks, or fabric coverings. In general, individuals wearing NIOSH-approved N95s with an exhalation valve should not be asked to use one without an exhalation valve or to cover it with a face covering or mask. However, NIOSH-approved N95 respirators with an exhalation valve are not fluid resistant. Therefore, in situations where a fluid resistant respirator is indicated (e.g., in surgical settings), individuals should wear a surgical N95 or, if a surgical N95 is not available, cover their respirator with a surgical mask or a face shield. Be careful not to compromise the fit of the respirator when placing a facemask over the respirator.

[end quote]

Many countries will require N95 masks (many of which have valves, so that is acceptable). So on a plane from Amsterdam to Beijing, you might have to switch masks during the flight (because the Dutch, for reasons, don't allow valves in favor of less effective cloth/surgical masks, while the Chinese...for reasons, require N95 masks that might have valves).

I had one! Won it in some kind of drawing or contest, maybe at school.
I used to write and maintain the code for resume and job parsing on an industry specific job board. A few thoughts:
1) the word resume can be spelled with zero, one or two accents, most commonly zero, and this fact alone seems apropos for the ridiculousness of submitting a document to a computer and hoping to get hired by a human
2) a resume is not the same as a CV
3) resume data interchange format is standardized once raw documents are parsed by sophisticated software — the problem is that most job boards and companies don’t reveal the parsed version or derived data including categorizations and ranking
4) most people assume, to their detriment, that they only need one resume
5) if you’re relying on resume submission to get you considered for a job, then you’re rolling the dice anyway and have nothing to complain about this ridiculous process
6) the most successful job searches will include networking prior to resume submission, or at least an understanding of how your resume parses in the target system
6) often the problem is with the job parse leading to junk matching of candidates — few if any recruiters/HR people would have any way of knowing this
They never claimed "censorship". They quit over having the videos flagged constantly. They acknowledged Youtube's right to do this.
Yes, they are larger. I noticed with the first ones that when I lie in bed horizontally, and read a book on my iPad (positioned on my chest), the very bottom of the screen is visible under the bottom edge of the first pair of glasses.

It's just a tiny band of white, and I could reposition the glasses to block it, but this process was (very slightly) annoying. So when I had to replace them, I went for a larger, more goggle-style shape.

You look hella weird wearing them anyhow, so who cares if they look even weirder, was my thinking. :-P

(That kind of matters because I wear them from around 19:00 since I aim to sleep around 22:00 or so... and sometimes I go to the grocery store around 20:00. It's Omicron, so N95 Mask + orange alien visor glasses + metal AirPods Max does in fact look pretty fucking weird lol.)
