Cards are a dumb idea, but people suffering from the whitecollar effect should inform the doctor in a normal way. I always take the measure at home before and after the appointment and take my blood pressure meter to the doctor. I inform them it's probably going to be 150 even though normally it's 130. Sometimes they measure it anyway, and I also repeat it using my home meter. Usually I'm correct - and once I get back home it's again 130.

I was worried about it but several cardiologists explained it to me that if it's for a short time, these values are harmless and I shouldn't worry but continue observing it.
Java has thread.stop(), which does a similar thing and is deprecated for similar reasons.

I remember trying to use it once, in my more reckless days and despite the warnings, thinking it's all fine if I just wrap all intermediate states in try/finally. It turns out that sometimes this will cause a throw in the finally clean-up, so you need to use a try/catch+rethrow and repeat yourself a bit. It's still not quite right, though, because you can still throw in the catch...
Maybe the prospective salary made hiring a full-time interpreter a reasonable expense.
What I’m trying to say is that mRNA vaccines might not be faster to deliver to market because you still need to go though testing and approval.
Was going to say the same thing.

Make is fiddly, has gotchas and is far from perfect, from the development side - but it's certainly "good enough", and it's great once you've got your Makefile done. And it's available, or at least easily attainable, pretty much everywhere. I even use it on Windows.
>You want to pay all of this money to train me right out of school?

Almost certainly less common today. But extended training for new hires did (and I assume in some places) does happen. I think IBM used to do it for sales and once upon a time I interviewed with an oilfield services firm that started out with some fairly lengthy training on their specialized equipment.

I had 20 plus rental cars last year and very few had tech features I would ever pay for.

Lane assist with adaptive cruise are the only notable features for long drives. I did enjoy the red dash notification Toyota has. Totally caught me off guard the first time however, I tried out the ABS.
Batteries are a point of vendor lock-in and forced obsolescence. Not saying modern tech isn’t great, but young me who spent all that money tooling up with cordless has changed to older me who honestly prefers corded or hosed (or even ICE) tools when the application allows for it, not just for the longevity of the tool but the power (amps/psi), lighter weight, and availability of service (no issues with charging, temperature problems, etc) during a job.

> Link blocks to highlight dependencies, Pyflow will then automatically run your blocks in the correct order

This is a problem. If you require users to define dependencies for you, they will make mistakes and things will go wrong in ways that are incredibly difficult to debug. This is already a huge pain point with Jupyter notebooks, and they're only one-dimensional!

Have you considered going the route of Observable notebooks [1]? In an Observable notebook, each cell can export at most one variable. This means that the notebook can automatically determine dependencies statically, run cells in the correct order, and even show the user a viz of dependencies.

Sounds like this varies based on model and year? My 2020 Ascent is like this, with the touchscreen only for radio/CarPlay (and backup camera), though there is a physical volume knob (yikes, touchscreen volume control would be a nightmare). But I've heard other Subaru owners say more things are integrated. I'm not sure it's strictly increasing by model year either, maybe they added some and then went back to physical controls later in some models?

Anyway, yes, Subaru should be a possibility, but obviously research the specific model first.

I visited Portland in late 2020 and I couldn’t believe how dystopian it became. It used to be such an amazing city.
From my experience once you have ~1,000 employees AND a complicated org chart/raci/etc then it’s fairly easy for people to do little work and hide. In smaller orgs too many people see you, and in orgs that are running efficiently if you don’t do your job it causes issues.

Tons of people hiding at oracle from my experience :)

I don't think cutting a brief clip introducing much loved national treasure Jimmy Savile from an old magazine show on repeat and not rebroadcasting his original shows is going to make anyone feel more kindly disposed towards Jimmy as a perpetrator.

I do think it's going to stop people ringing OFCOM to complain that the TV/iPlayer is still broadcasting that disgusting man like he's a lovable guy.

If they wanted to control the PR narrative, they'd hide references to him as a notorious paedophile or questions about whether the BBC staff working on his programmes should have known, not Jim'll Fix It.
Except there's tons of plausible deniability when it comes to getting interviewed and/or hired for the wrong position.

At a former startup I interviewed someone for what was supposed to be a plain old individual contributor developer role, and the suit seated across from me was clearly interested in the newly opened VP of Eng. role.

I never bothered chasing down if it was a scheduling mixup on our chaotic startup side, or if he was just trying to get his foot in the door after somehow hearing about the newly opened executive vacancy. Either way the technical interview went so badly he stormed out of the office in a rage.

Point being, mixups happen all the time. It's not hard to imagine scenarios where it still results in a hire, and seems difficult to place 100% blame without a recorded confession or something. It's clearly the potential employer in the driver's seat, caveat emptor of sorts applies.
> Legal sports betting makes it less likely to have the game thrown.

Wow, that is Orwellian.

> The Athlete salaries far outpace the potential gains

That's only true for a few top athletes, and ignores others (referees, coaches, etc.), and the fact that careers are short. For example, in American football, you only have to buy a kicker or long snapper, who can easily change the game (as long as it's reasonably close). NFL referees aren't even full-time employees.

> you need bookmaker involvement but the legal books are so large that they don't won't one-sided games or any particular outcome

After seeing all the brazen fraud and deceit in American (and other) business, costing lives, tanking the global economy, causing climate change, fixing LIBOR, pushing crypto scams, etc. etc., we should believe that bookmakers would never take that risk? They must be an especially risk-averse, honest group!

Also, not all gambling is legal.
Yes I think cutting off arms would discourage drug use to some extent, but I think the price is too high. At some point a policy like that creates more suffering than it prevents. From your example on throwing people into the ocean, it sounds like you agree that a tradeoff exist here. Unless you actually think killing drug users is a good solution to reduce drug use?

The question was never whether it was possible to curb drug use with the legal system (that seems like a straw man), but whether the cure is worse than the disease, or whether an alternative cure might be better.
First I want to say that I really appreciate your responses. You're obviously writing in good faith and I'm finding this interesting. Thank you for helping me clarify my own understanding.

> So which notation would you propose that would allow me to understand the formula without knowing those concepts?

We agree on the importance of understanding concepts. I showed the difficulty for one who does understand the concepts. Surely a student who is learning them and thus by definition doesn’t know them would have even greater difficulties. I propose that a notational convention that forgoes the invisible multiplication operator and that distinguishes between ordering operations and function application rather than using parentheses for both would be considerably more clear. Such as, for example, the one Dijkstra adopted. I’m confident that you would have easily understood either of the following:

sin.(s + i + n)

Or

s*i*n*(s + i + n)

A student who doesn't understand one or more of the necessary concepts will at least be able to see from the syntax that different concepts are being expressed. I don’t think 1-3 extra glyphs is too high a price to pay for that reduction in ambiguity. There is still ambiguity of course, such as are the expressions in R or C? I like type declarations for that reason. By the way I do agree with you that no syntactic improvement can completely eliminate ambiguity. I just think we should still do our level best to avoid introducing it gratuitously.

Once the student has achieved proficiency with the requisite concepts using a more sensible notation, supposing they have an interest in further study, they will then need to learn the customary notation on account of the great and valuable body of work that uses it. I think that’s acceptable though since learning new syntax will always be a part of learning math and as you say the real challenge is mastering concepts and not syntax.

> It seems weird to evaluate the work of a global community based on a measurements of schools in a specific country.

You make a good point here. It would be better to make a global comparison using something like PISA math scores and seeing if didactic innovation has resulted in any improvement in the places it has been implemented. I’m not aware of any such improvement, but the world is a big place so that’s hardly evidence that there isn’t any.
Something like this happened to me years ago before video interviews. On phone interviews people would pause before every question, mute their line, then unmute and answer. This was odd because it happened on about 25% of the calls.

A few times they forgot to unmute and we heard multiple voices coaching them in English and the local language.

The offshore partner had someone sit in the interview to coach them with the proper answers.

Oddly we didn’t change the offshore partner but management figured out some way that the partner stopped doing this. Or at least had interviewers answer fast enough with no lag.

Better engineered sprayer jets, adding better sensors to determine water turbidity and other water metrics, additional sprayer arms (second-rack sprayer arms were pretty rare IME in the 90s, common today), automatic soap dispenser systems dispensing just the right amount of soap or rinse aid given on various water properties, etc.

Even today a super basic mechanical timer based washing machine probably won't work as well or as efficiently as a high end unit with various sensors and logic.

> Code doesn't deteriorate... Like we're talking about a banana growing spots or whatever...

It kind of does -- if you leave a codebase alone for a long time, and you come back to it later to upgrade a lot of dependencies (sometimes making a multi-version jump), it's a lot harder than it would have been to keep them updated as new versions were released.

It would have been a lot worse if that log4j CVE had been in a library with a lot more transitive dependencies or makes breaking changes between versions, like Jersey.

One advantage of monorepos with shared dependencies is that even the parts of the code that don't need to be touched very often will still get the latest dependency updates. If those codebases are in standalone repos, they just sit there, and then one day a simple attempt to upgrade a dependency turns into hours of work.

So, it's not technically "rotting," but it's definitely the case that leaving code to sit creates more technical debt later on -- even if that code was perfectly good the last time anyone worked on it.
Even if the ads weren't obnoxious and in your face, there's still the elephant in the room of malware. Every ad group has been the carrier of at least one malware ad in the last few years-- it's simply not safe to browse the web without an ad blocker.

The only way that'll change is if they go back to static images/text, and there's no way in hell the ad industry would ever allow that.

Idk people say its hard to draw the line but it doesn't seem like it would be. Here's the line: no advertising for cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, e-cigs. Why this line? these are pretty obviously unhealthy for people. Why not some other line? Well lets take a poll and see what we are willing to do. And then if people think it is important to ban other types of advertising then that can be a new line drawn later.
I'm running on a Macbook that is not at all set up for PHP, so no "users.ini" file. I did this ugly hack.

I agree that small, focused subreddits can work quite well.

Regarding the "toxic wastelands" - while there are plenty of those - my main pet peeve with subreddit growth is just the lower standards and decline in quality.

A book/game subreddit with interesting discussions about themes, characters and plot changes into endless "look at this <blanket|cake|...> my <relative> made me for <holiday>".

Technical subreddits go from low volume, high quality original projects to "hey look I just bought an arduino and blinked a led".

Maybe I'm just a grumpy old fart but save that stuff for your Facebook wall. This can probably be fixed with strong moderation, but I've rarely seen that work.
I think commentators are missing that a big part of boring technology is, well, that it's boring. If developers are excited to use that technology, instead of just thinking "meh just another one of those companies using X" then it's probably not boring.

If your technology gets developers excited then it's not boring.

As per the original article that introduced the term, that doesn't mean that it's a priori a bad thing, but it does mean that the bar for the other things it brings to the table needs to be higher and that most startups only get a limited number of technologies to be excited about.
What's the rationale behind your assertion?

I feel like I have been really, really fortunate. All of my Samsung devices going back years have worked without issue. Only my attachable OEM keyboard for a now-defunct Galaxy S7 phone stopped working after a couple of years, but that was a plastic addon, not an internal component of the phone itself.
It requires a strong character to throw away things when they don't work well.

Plenty of more legit companies, including big tech, have training periods for new hires. It's not something to be worried about in and of itself, though it's always a good idea to do your research when your gut says something is off. I was naive and definitely in need of a job.

> Or is food that doesn’t go into feeding people somehow just considered “wasted” under industry nomenclature?

I don't know if that's industry nomenclature but more "I want to complain about a topic without thinking about the economics" nomenclature.

Some people love to point out "waste" and then point out hungry people and imply that the "waste" could magically feed hungry people. All of the important details are glossed over or ignored.

The biggest is that actual waste does not pay. Farmers aren't going to throw away any portion of a crop if they can help it. Someone will usually buy all but the worst bits of produce. If it doesn't end up in the produce aisle it'll end up in prepared food of some type.
I've experienced the following hiring remotely:

* A candidate who was caught lip syncing to someone talking in the room behind them.

* A candidate who had air pods to listen to someone coaching them.

Whether or not that keeps the lights on in that business is not really my problem. It becomes my problem if it's content I care about that disappears. Without ads, perhaps 90% of the free content of the web would disappear. Since I run an adblocker, I'm completely fine with that.

Of course people can learn new languages, but:

- A nonzero number of excellent potential applicants aren't going to work for your company because they don't want to invest their own development into learning the Clojure ecosystem deeply. (This might be somewhat balanced out by folks who are stoked to learn Clojure.)

- Every non-Clojure person you hire will require significantly more ramp-up time. This can be a real problem for small companies where you lose quite a lot of expertise every time a senior developer leaves.

- These problems compound for every "innovative" technology you add.
Can you explain how this is not 'visual programming'? The interface seemingly allows for arbitrary code to be written and then graphically arranged in a dataflow-like format. If you mean that the fundamental elements of 'code' are the text inside each block, how is that fundamentally different than if each block was a black-box whose functionality was implemented using more blocks?
I somewhat agree, but condoms aren’t just for HIV and save from other potentially lethal diseases. So the benefit is just enormous, yet folks still don’t use them. At the same time, look the vaccination rates in the Eastern Europe. I suspect it’s somewhat hard to get people vaccinated against the disease they don’t take seriously. I mean, HIV is horrible. Yet so many people ignore protection.
Interesting! I wonder how this bodes for Bungie's relatively recent cross-play and cross-save functionality in Destiny 2 (or future games). They executed on it extremely well and it has been great to play on PS4 and Steam without any huge issues.
Actually, I don't. But what the ad companies do is worse than freeloading, so I'm still in the positive. And I do pay for services that I use a lot.
