I'm not a geologist (or meteorologist) either, so salt accordingly.

One 'splainer I've seen[1] described the volcanic erruption as the result of seawater infiltrating a magma chamber or vent, flash-vaporising, and basically blowing straight up to a height of about 30km (roughly 100,000 ft). Think of this not simply as a pressure wave blasting upwards, but as a bolus of air (and steam / water vapour) punching up through the atmosphere. It's analogous to a water wave spiking up out of fluid --- after it rises up, it will collapse back down, then rebound up, repeating this several times.

The spike also both propogates out and creates a gravity-wave front which propagates outward, again creating a vertical wave across the top of the atmosphere.

We're used to gravity waves in water largely because water isn't compressible. Sound travels through water, but shock waves tend to have limited reach since water itself doesn't compress --- a water shock is rapidly transformed into a water gravity wave, with a surge and collapse. (How much energy is transmitted through either wave mode I don't know, though someone versed in fluid dynamics could probably say.)

Air is compressible, so a major part of the effect of an explosion is shock. That said, you can get gravity waves in air as well, and the Tonga erruption is apparently a demonstration of this.

For a developer role, I have difficulty seeing how part time is economical.

An article from 2019: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/720122267

> GARCIA: The occupation with the single biggest part-time penalty is web developer. Wages for part-time web developers are 49.5% less than wages for full-time web developers. And that is our PLANET MONEY indicator - part-time web developers make only about half as much per hour as full-time web developers.

So if a FTE is making $100/h and working 40h/w, a part time developer is making $50/h and working 20h/w... though those are just numbers that I made up. They will vary.

The issue for the organization is that as a developer, part time makes a complete hash of the maker schedule when combined with actually having meetings.

I've been able to get my managers to try to schedule meetings clustered together so that I have chunks of time where I can work each day. But if I was part time - either fewer days per week or fewer hours per day, that would in turn translate to smaller maker time blocks or maker time blocks that were separated from each other by more than a day.

I see this with part time interns - where the ones work work each day are much more efficient at what they're doing than the ones that come in twice a week and have to get back into the grove of what they were working on and that takes a significant part of the time of when they get back in for that day.

You could also permit people to make a cryptocurrency bond deposit to get a free account, which is forfeit if their account gets terminated by you for abuse. Payment cards are strongly linked to government ID in the USA, sadly, which means that presently someone has to effectively dox themselves to you to get a free account.

Can you say more about service discovery "loving stale data"? Loves in the sense of "generates a lot of it; is constantly plagued by it"?
Not quite. The analogy is present explicitly in the gist but the comparison isn't particularly useful for understanding the social dynamics of the situation here.
A new kind of online shopping experience
I made a store. Instead of offering faster shipping, or lower prices, it pays you money.

Instead of bidding on an item, you buy the claim to it. The claim is (forcibly) transferrable for a set period of time. If someone else pays a higher amount and takes the claim away from you, get get a slice of the increase. So in the end, you either win the item, or get paid.

Feedback would be super helpful! And also please let me know if you run into any bugs!
Oh, I'm sure Reddit will do a Pinterest at some point and make most content inaccessible to non-logged in users

Breaking over new warnings seems crazy, but that can be one of the prices of stability. C, Perl, JavaScript and others have similar problems and come to their own solutions.

(For instance, C has warnings under the -W flags and you could enable them all at compile time with -Wall, but then people depended on the specific flags under that option so there's also -Wextra now.)

Stability means sometimes you stay still when there are good reasons to move, though there's always a balance. Perhaps a larger solution is needed (more prevalent version pinning, or an ASDF 4.0), but this may be a tempest in a teapot. We'll see how this particular issue shakes out.
Launched my career late 1999. I was working a lot of short gigs to build experience.

Multiple calls from recruiters daily.
Then summer of 2020 the calls stopped. Six months later I gave up started at RadioShack. Where I met engineers with10-20 years of experience that couldn’t find work.
When Did Crypto Become Republican?
> lack of viable business models

To be fair this still remains to be seen for most? public tech companies. It’s easy to be unprofitable and just say you’re following the Amazon model.
But can Uber or AirBnb actually run a business that increases
their net profit YoY sustainably? I think that remains to be seen. The super easy money in both private and public markets for over a decade has kicked up this fog so that it’s hard to make out what is going on. It could be that many are just as sustainable in a tight market as they would’ve been in 1999
All you have to do is spend a decade locked indoors staring at a screen, then it's easy street.
Forgot to mention - instead of using dollars, it uses a new crypto token that I made as well - the BSW (Buy Such Wow) token. Thought I'd also try making a meme token that actually has some real value. You can buy the tokens at the store, or swap with BNBs and send it in, etc.
Choosing the level of safety we enforce in society is inherently political.
The big secret you learn about central banking pretty early in adulthood is that “we” (society) is still figuring it out, tweaking it, and making it up as we go, and it’s not so old as to have this huge body of proven method that we’re all led to think it does. The systems are brittle, prone to manipulation, and every once in a while we manage to avert a crisis and keep from going completely off the rails. It’s not a bad endeavor, but it’s nowhere near the level of perfection and stability that like to imagine.
Your suggestion would make you a target for folks trying to launder purloined cryptocurrency.
You’re entitled to your own opinion obviously and this is hardly the forum to discuss it but I don’t agree at all. Hello Nasty is a close second to Paul’s Boutique for me.
Live and work anywhere has tax code challenges - especially when that expands beyond the country that someone is in.

I've mentioned part time roles in another comment and really don't see that being feasible.

Working for two companies simultaneously gets into some tricky IP and non-compete situations (that are even enforceable in California - see Techno Lite, Inc. v. Emcod, LLC).
For comparison, note also that ElephantSQL offers 20MB databases on their free tier with 5 concurrent connections. They charge about $20/mo for the tier that Fly is offering here for free.

There is one school of software engineering which upgrades all warnings to be errors and thus fatal because "warning culture" leads complacency. Thus emitting a new warning as part of default behavior will break builds.
Mutants and humans can produce fertile offspring, but hybrids aren't impossible across species just uncommon. Bison and cattle, or grizzlies and polar bears are examples. Where we divide groups into "species" is pretty murky. I'm sure somewhere there has to be a biologist who loves comics enough to sort all this stuff out for us. Then again, I've seen Neanderthals called both a subspecies and a separate species of human too so they should probably sort that one out first.

Also recall that multiple ISPs have been caught tracking their users and selling their user’s data.

The expansion of secure connections limited that to a degree, but we know ISPs are still extracting and selling data based on their response to people switching over to encrypted DNS requests.
Anne Frank has entered the "public" life, for better or worse. Her image use in the parent comment is perfectly fine. Personally, I think the various versions and censoring of her diary are way worse.
Compared to the Anne Frank example, I think for all of these examples people easily deflate the urgency by saying things like: I have nothing to hide.
It cites this paper:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32504585/

which says in its abstract: " Individuals with low socioeconomic status (SES) experience disproportionately greater alcohol-attributable health harm than individuals with high SES from similar or lower amounts of alcohol consumption." and "Alcohol use explained up to 27% of the socioeconomic inequalities in mortality. The proportion of socioeconomic inequalities explained systematically differed by drinking pattern, with heavy episodic drinking having a potentially significant explanatory value."
This seems like a very minor thing in comparison. The python 2 to 3 thing had many big issues. It was impossible to automatically convert code from 2 to 3. It was very complicated to write code that would be compatible with both versions. If one of your dependencies was 2-only, then you had no choice but to wait for them. Meanwhile, with most software being on 2, libaries were incentivized to stay on 2. So there was a chicken and egg issue.
>I believe the more common proposal is to resolve the contradiction the other way: remove taxes on corporations, as the individuals comprising the corporations generally already pay taxes.

Without a wealth tax that would just make tax evasion even easier for the ultrawealthy in the usual manner of borrowing against the equity of the stock they own.
Not really, you just don't see legitimate uses of Bitcoin at large because it's totally worthless as a currency, therefore the only people pushing it as such as scammers and and conmen.
Of course the only argument they could come up with is "think of the children". Never mind that the UK has a huge problem with child abuse being swept under the rug. All in all I don't think people will be falling for it; in the end the fact that decided to produce propaganda against it means that E2EE is working.
It's impossible to know at this point who would pass in your mind. Isn't it possible you just don't care for the examples that have been offered already?

As far as my ear can tell, Lady Gaga, Adele, Pink, Beyonce, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, and Miley Cyrus all qualify for the purposes of this subthread. I'm not going to claim they're "better" than Whitney Houston - that's kind of an impossibly high bar. I do think they're excellent, and to the best of my ability to determine via the internet, they don't use autotune.
Tech, law enforcement, and media, folks aside, people will collectively shrug and move on. To most, it's all abstract fights about other people's problems, like most banking regulations are to me, no matter how much they might impact me. See James Comey/FBI vs Apple, Apple iCloud CSAM scanning, etc. etc. etc.
Inflation means prices are increasing. Your company probably gets more revenue when prices go up. Whether you come out ahead will depend on a lot of factors - what kind of inputs you have, how much pricing power, etc. But you can’t just discount your cash flows by the inflation rate unless you also incorporate the increased revenue into your estimate of the cash flows.
That explains it. Thank you
Nope, not mixed up. Redshell apparently was added in KSP 1.4 by Take Two. After an uproar in the community it was removed again but personally this is something that's just too big of a thing to dismiss. Not changing my mind.

Western society says that some decisions are only able to be made by people who are old enough. If you think about other decisions like gambling at a casino, joining the army or purchasing alcohol, then it might help you understand where they're coming from.

Okay, int/uint was a bad example; but what about

let a: int = 1
let b: float = a

Why wouldn't we want our dream language to infer a coercion here?

That said, Python's behavior (though correct to spec) is arguably worse:

a: int = 1
b: float = a
print(b, type(b))
>>> 1 <class 'int'>

With no complaints from mypy.
Good suggestion, I’ll add that.
We're betting the same, and Fly.io doesn't know it yet, but part of our solution will eventually be made possible (much easier) thanks to their architecture. :)

But we aren't yet ready for that piece.
I use it, it's good. Thinking about tooling around the API. The tag cloud is nice.

There are numerous forms of wave phenomena.

In water, surface waves operate principally under the effects of surface tension (small waves such as you'd find in a ripple tank, to about 0.1s period), or gravity, where the mass and inertia of the water moving up and down dominante.

There are also pressure waves, which are the result of compression and expansion of a medium. Water compresses poorly, whilst air compresses quite well and elastically. Sound is largely a phenomenon of pressure waves.

With the development of very sensitive instruments, gravitational waves in which the geometryof space-time itself is altered can now be detected. Despite the similarity in terms, "gravity waves" and "gravitational waves" are very different phenomena, and we'd need events at the scale of neutron star collisions to be ablet to create readily-detectable gravitational waves. Tonga Hunga was somewhat below this threshold.

There are also electromagnetic waves, experienced as EMR (including visible light), AC electric power transmission, and magnetic waves. Again, different phenomena, though the same underlying wave equations describe this behaviour.
But isn't "breaking compatibility" here emitting a warning that the downstream is treating as an error (because they've chosen to treat warnings as errors)? I feel like emitting it as a warning doesn't break compatibility but the downstream complaining (sbcl?) happens to be high profile enough that they can raise a stink about it.
Yes, very similar to skimfeed. However with sumi.news you can add custom RSS feeds and newsletters.

I’m not sure what you mean by integrating with archive.is?

Question for medical science folks. I realize that having a messy cohort of participants is normal, but with the estimates that we’ve only positively identified 10-20% of COVID cases, and with antibody tests having a wide margin of error, what are the chances that a non-trivial portion of the “control” group were also post-infection?
Kratt
> I myself have at least 4 CDC identified factors: I’m lactose intolerant, have an anxiety disorder, seasonal allergies and “caffeine dependency”.

These are just widespread things in the population. If 80% of the population has a caffeine dependency, then it's not surprising that 80% of people who die of Covid have a caffeine dependency. That doesn't mean they're related.
Try to stop thinking too much. There is a book called "The Power of Now".

Right, we’ve got 5 years to cobble together a 240kg probe with no need to use any new tech. That should be very doable. So the remaining issue is just to convince the budget committees.

Seriously want to see this mission happen. It was a very weird object and worth the price of a mission to learn more.
Probably only as a transient.

Though it's a reminder that what your instruments report is always only a proxy for the quantity being measured.

And this has gotten worse. During the .com explosion, the war for talent saw younger engineers (<= 5 years of experience) were getting 1%-3% in companies that had already received VC funding, while also getting raises from other firms. Compared to the grants on offer today, the risk/reward is completely inverted.
Nutella was similarly invented as a chocolate substitute, to (you guessed it) avoid chocolate tariffs.

I don't know what the laws are, but the amount of smoking centimeters away from the entrances of buildings in Europe was staggering to me as an American. Both from patrons and employees. I was breathing in smoke plumes pretty much everywhere.
I mean fuck I know correlation doesn’t equal causation but cmon… this draws attention to poor mental health following COVID. Has no one seen the developed world lately? It’s fucking terrible for mental health. The news tells you the sky is falling every five minutes, the loudest and most observable voices are full of spite and anguish. For god sakes they shut everything down. Business owners have their livelihoods stolen from them, poor and middle class can actively observe those above them keep going up while they stay put. Children cannot be allowed around around other children because adults who have already lived their lives get to choose what’s best. In general the rules being made in the past 2 years have been vehemently opposed to maintaining peoples mental health. I know this study was not exactly opinionated, but the world shitting out and then people are also exhibiting symptoms of poor mental health…Quite the fucking coincidence if you ask me.
My Garmin watch does, at least occasionally. I have it synced to the Health app on my phone. I think it does it more often during recorded activities, but there's still a baseline the rest of the time.
Well, I have to manually update SBCL's ASDF because otherwise package-local-nicknames aren't supported by uiop:define-package, and the new-uiop-loading needs to be done before my systems load for package-inferred-system to not choke...

I don’t believe he erred for the sake of erring (I don’t think anyone does, finally), but I do think his errors were transparent at the time. See, for example, the refutation in Suarez’ Against the Errors of the Anglican Sect, Book II.
If there is a performance hit for your remote teams, then I suggest you look to your own teams and employees for the root cause.

I have been in plenty of organizations that actively cripple their remote workers' performance, and others where I have been my most productive. Remote work productivity depends directly on the culture surrounding it.

If you believe a remote team will be less productive, then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Instead, set clear expectations that your team can excel, and then ensure the culture enables them to realize that potential.

Sure, this philosophy can go only so far, but -- without that foundation -- the results will only fall short of your expectations.

This is a sort of content-free comment, but I'll say it anyways because it's been gnawing at me for months --- there is a lot of content queued up for us to write about; just a freaking avalanche of stuff we've been working on. I keep looking for places to break it off and start writing about it, and the work keeps growing and foiling our attempts.
Where I work there is an incident team that handles things like creating a master ticket, starting a call bridge, getting the on-calls into the bridge, keeping track of what teams (and who from those teams) have been brought in, manages the call (keeping chatter down and focused when there are 100 people in a call is important), periodically comments on the master ticket with status and a list of impacted teams, marks down milestone times like when the impact started, when it was detected, mitigated, root cause found, etc. This person is also responsible for stuff like when they hear you want to engage team X, they'll go track down an on-call for you, or summarizing known impact for the outward-facing status pages, etc. They also create the postmortem template and follow up with all involved teams to get them to contribute their detailed impact statement there.

Edit: sometimes when it's a really gnarly problem and there are huge numbers of people on the call, the set of people who are actively trying to come up with mitigations and need to just be able to talk freely at each other will break off into a less noisy call and leave a representative to relay status to the main call.
