The one thing I would watch for is the "squeaky wheel gets the grease angle". If you don't do a little self promotion and negotiation, you'll likely miss out on larger merit/cola raises, promotions, etc.

Since that works like compound interest, the missed opportunities can add up quickly.

That is, if you don't feel like being competitive most of the time...fine. But there may be some benefit to doing it once in a while (yearly review, etc).
We can make it up in volume.
No it’s not. It’s not even a symptom of cannabis withdrawal, it’s a purported condition claimed to be correlated with extremely heavy cannabis use.
OK. Even though not corporate, I agree it does have that same lightness.
There are other differentiating factors there that could lead to the preference choice that are not related to whether something is mechanical in nature. Things like color, texture, etc. have been shown to have strong biases between the sexes.

A possible control they did not employ during the study would be to have a series of toys that were identical in all ways except color, for example.

Also *very* worth noting:

As shown in their Fig. 1, when play time with toys is examined in human children (Berenbaum and Hines,1992) and rhesus macaques of all ages, males spend significantly more of their play time with the “male” toy(s) than with the female toy(s), while females spend about equal times with “male” and “female” toys. This is true both for frequency of interactions and in time spent playing (Hassett et al., 2008). **Therefore, one key difference between males and females in these studies is that males actually show a toy preference while females do not!**

Isn't the whole, "TikTok spies for China" meme also politically motivated, per the last Republican president?

I don't doubt that Bytedance shares Chinese TouTiao user data with the Chinese government, akin to how Apple does it with iCloud, but Bytedance has been pretty adamant that TikTok is external to China and doesn't share data. Even when there was an executive order to ban TikTok for being a national security threat, they couldn't prove that it was.

Does anyone have actual evidence of TikTok sharing with the Chinese government, outside of political hit pieces like the one above?
I always start with just MySQL and introduce things as needed - not as guessed. These days I don't work on anything with enough traffic that needs more than that.

An RDBMS is a lot more than just SQL these days, and they offer a lot of good enough solutions to a wide variety of problems.
Why is this an issue? Aren't good role models good role models regardless of gender/sex?
My non-binary friend knew roughly half of both sides.

They are AFAB, interested in japanese culture and STEM, but also sew rather much.
Nice. Though it makes me think it would be nice to have this as a built in code editor minimap feature without the multi line ASCII code. The editor would parse special tags in comments and overlay the minimap with the tag text in big letters.
just reply to FB/Google/AMZN recruiters. These FAANG companies are basically running "practice-interview-as-a-service", and as a bonus if you happen to like their offer (it seems though that their offers on second and further attempts are pretty low - as you're put into "benchwarmers") you can even spend some time working there.
What do people think of this critique of nuclear fusion power?

That makes sense I guess. Even if you don't go on to do grad-level math or physics, it's a good foundation and preparation for a lot of other quantitative occupations. Whereas chemistry and biology have often been considered being "pre-med" majors to a non-trivial degree. They're less of a foundation at the undergraduate level for well-paying jobs.

>the median salary for all three is very similar.

Though note that this data is almost 10 years old. It wouldn't surprise if computers rose more than the average.

While being an almost daily user of MonoDraw, I utilize Valery Kocubinsky's Table Editor package for Sublime at least a dozen or more times every day. All my daily habit, scheduling, trackers, and labor is in some sort of table. Thank you, Valery!

It isn't maintained but 90% of the features work fine. The project was picked up and is current on Atom.

Grabbing boxes for commenting is within scope of Table Editor but again, Monodraw offers some great flexibility. If you're working with code that's getting printed in a newsletter, drop it in a Monodraw box (remove border) and you can add call-outs on either or both sides of the code and paste it all in the newsletter. Looks nifty, and keeps the aesthetic consistent.

We NEED to stop training users to give away passwords for account X to services that are not X. We NEED to! This is what enables phishing to work! It normalizes this! Please do not do this! Next time some old lady loses her life savings due to phishing, you'll know that in some small part plaid and this helped. They trained her that it is ok to provide her password to someone.
They’re obviously not a philosophically aligned with you.

Right, but that's what they're paying you for - to swallow your bile, basically.
I could be misremembering, but this seems like an idea that's been tried (and failed before). I have a memory of a service whose pitch was that you'd load funds into an account (a 1 time large transaction to get past the CC fees), and then individual sites could request micropayments from that account balance. No crypto then of course, but I'm not sure adding crypto makes this idea functionally different from how it looks without it.

I could be totally off my rocker, but I'm pretty sure I remember this from sometime around the early 2010's ?
Again, have you actually taken a look at that article?

> “Please, no, ADELE can’t be a TERF,” a “staunch feminist” performer named Jacob told his thousands of Twitter followers.

> “Who’d have thought Adele was a transphobe and would use her platform to call for the destruction of the trans community. Especially the confused teenagers,” another long-time Twitter user posted.

(They had to go with "long-time" for that second one because they've only got 375 followers.)

"We searched up a handful of mean tweets" isn't journalism or indicative of anything except the fact you can always find some mean tweets about someone, and it's a little hard to say Adele is canceled in an article about her winning Artist of the Year...
Well, I’m glad my question helped you uncover the root cause, in any case.
I'm a big fan of this approach, having built a Django monolith with the standard Celery/RMQ, dabbled in Redis for latency-sensitive things like session caching, and never hitting scale where any of those specialized tools were actually required (despite generating substantial revenue with the company).

One thing to note, if you use pq or another Postgres-as-queue approach, you should be aware of the work you'll need to do to move off it -- this pattern lets you do exactly-once processing by consuming your tasks in the same DB transaction where you process the side-effects. In general when using a separate task queue (RMQ, SQS, etc.) you need to do idempotent processing (at least once message semantics). A possible exception is if you use Kafka and use transactional event processing, but it's not serializable isolation.

This is probably a reason in favor of using a Postgres task queue initially since exactly-once is way simpler to build, but just be aware that you're going to need to rethink some of your architectural foundation if/when you need to move to a higher-throughput queue implementation.
Those do not accurately reproduce the Safari experience. Many bugs or performance issues will be unique to the way Apple builds and packages webkit, or the specific graphics stack they use.

Back before Windows Safari was killed it honestly was a bad imitation of iOS Safari too - it didn't include the media codecs, etc - but it was better than nothing. Windows Safari still theoretically exists (I was told not too long ago by a little bird that iTunes uses it)
All of this applies to Instagram, FB, etc... too?

Also
> How much are the CCP paying you to defend TikTok in all these comments?

This is surely not the way to have a rational conversation about the topic?
The Financial Times, though pricey as a financial newspaper, is a good source for this. It regularly publishes in-depth articles with a wide range of interviews with experts for readers to learn the context of current issues (via their "News in-depth" series, and also their series called "The Big Read").
Does that factor in the better food you get to eat for a lifetime? That has to have some effect, and likely far greater than 53 days.

And curiously, simply using a venting hood is mocked by the OP with no actual evidence. Possibly, it mitigates the issue entirely.

I have (and like) gas. I’d happily switch to induction but would never voluntarily go back to resistance electric.
I think individual differences are far more important. I have a boy and a girl both, and my son is far, far easier to raise. I do not fear for his future, socially or economically. My daughter, on the other hand, keeps me awake at night worrying.

Higher frame rates do result in smoother motion and animation.

The reason viewers prefer 24 FPS is that film is traditionally 24 FPS and video is 30 FPS (60 half-frame fields per second in NTSC). That has trained a generation of viewers to associate higher framerates with "cheap". The aesthetic carries an association that is counter to its actual quality.

Sort of like how people prefer "rustic" furniture because that implies "handmade" which implies "expensive" even though roughly-made things can often be mass produced more cheaply.

If it wasn't for the historical quirk that video was based on halving the AC rate which ended up being a few FPS faster than film, we'd all prefer higher framerates.

I suspect that thanks to the rise of gaming, that association will fade and eventually we will use higher framerates for movies. You already see trends in that direction: YouTube will stream 60 FPS because a lot of what people are watching on YouTube is gaming. But because of that, people get used to it, and I now see more non-gaming videos at 60 FPS too.
You missed it was in the context of E2EE chats.
These trucker protests, led by the so-called “Freedom Convoy” now besieging Ottawa, began after the Canadian and U.S. government enacted a rule requiring cross-border truckers to be fully vaccinated in order to get into either of the two countries.

Is that incorrect? I’m not Canadian.
I am sure there is momentary thrill of achieving minimalism but alas the world is not so simple anymore. I would refer the OP and the community here to the paper from the creator of PostgreSQL: http://cs.brown.edu/~ugur/fits_all.pdf
We have controlled fusion in labs, but it takes more energy to start up than what you get out of it. The longer you can sustain the fusion reaction, the more you can get out of it. They did it for 5 seconds, which is longer than anyone else, but still a net negative.

Predictions about the future of fusion are notoriously difficult to make.
The effect of womens' labor participation should be easy to suss out. Look at professions where womens' share of employment is still very low in the US (building trades perhaps), and compare it with the rest of the economy.
>My best guess is that if you use a gas stove for your entire life instead of an electric stove and change nothing else, that shortens your life expectancy by around 53 days on average

How much is "use"? I "use" my stove maybe once a month now and never for more than 10 minutes (usually to boil pasta). Also, as a side note, I hate gas stoves and would love for them to be banned. The stress I feel when the gas doesn't immediately ignite is dumb.
Perhaps you missed that the person you are replying to was talking about the GitHub API and not their web interface?

Here’s the API reference: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#create-an-or...

I don’t see any parameter for setting the default to master instead of main. However it does seem like you can change it after it has been created with a subsequent update call.

Diverse results on a word comprehension test probably correlates with cultural diversity better than ethnicity does. It could be easier and more reliable to assemble a culturally diverse workforce via word comprehension clusters than by personal history. It's not hard to see how diversity measured like this can contribute to a team. It would tend to add people who have interests orthogonal to each other, broadening their joint perspective.
> First off, the daylight cycle is an obvious concern and there still isn't a great way to store solar energy during the day for use by cities (or generally large consumers) at night. Not to say it's not possible, but people are largely still trying to figure out what the right solution for that is.

Not a concern at all. Google renewable energy storage. It is there but there is profit merit, so it is not welcome

What stress
If you asked drivers "would you like a brand icon shown on your screen for the radio station, the trade-off is a couple bucks more expensive car and more opportunity for bugs to crash your radio" -- who would say yes? Does anyone actually want this "HD Radio" technology, did anyone ask for it?

Who are the car manufacturers (and radio standards setters for that matter) working for?
I don't understand this. Why wouldn't you just practice by interviewing with random companies? If you are hired, just counteroffer with an absurd salary requirement. And if they accept, then congrats you don't need to practice interviewing anymore.
I'm guessing from reading the article that it's not applicable, but does this affect gas barbecues as well? I'm guessing not since they are outdoors. Gas barbecues are pretty common in my neck of the woods, although gas stoves are not.
Don't know what you're talking about. Induction is far superior.
"Buttery smooth" with complicated React UIs is entirely possible if you design it right. Unfortunately too many people just assume that whatever they throw at it will be fine.
> Fair warning: This is a blog post advertisement for ScrapingBee. The data is still interesting.

Sure, but it's no different than any other blog post from a company. And framing it that way is quite disingenuous since the post pretty much only sticks to the topic and doesn't overtly promote their product.
I wonder how many days of your life you save by having the water boil sooner (life is 53 days shorter, but you spent X days less waiting for things to boil).
Laser, sonar, radar. Many, if not most, acronyms become words on their own at some point in English, especially if they enter the popular lexicon (leave their initial niche).
I'm not sure where you lived but geography and politics likely plays a factor here.

It absolutely wasn't this way when I did my schooling and I'm younger than you, growing up in Canada.

Another point to consider, aiming at a target doesn't mean hitting it. It's why you haven't seen the outcry about boys in stem until the past half decade or so. General public opinion and culturally ingrained sexism are very difficult boats to steer.
It's important to remember that futex is not a lock; it is a conditional sleeping operation. Its name unfortunately looks similar to mutex but it's not a lock.

A thread calls futex(&flag, FUTEX_WAIT) to sleep. The kernel wakes up the caller thread when the futex flag's value might have been changed, by another thread calling futex(&flag, FUTEX_WAKE). When futex() returns, you don't get a lock. It just means the value of the flag might have been changed.

Since it's not a lock, the value of the flag is not guaranteed to be certain value when futex() returns. The flag can be changed again by another thread between the futex's return and the next instruction of the caller thread. It's important to put the futex() call inside a loop calling compare_and_set() repeatedly to check the expected value of the flag.

Yep. In all the talk of racial or gender privilege, the most beneficial privilege a person can enjoy is the benefits of a loving, supportive, traditional two-parent household (there is insufficient data on non-traditional two-parent households).

You can see a direct correlation in outcomes when comparing children that emerged from two-parent households over those that emerge from single-parent households. But because that is an uncomfortable and pervasive problem to discuss, almost all social effort is focused on solving less tangible problems.

> There's a "scandal" like that every other day now...

Yes. That's what tabloids have done for hundreds of years. The NY Post has convinced you Adele is being canceled over a couple of mean @mentions on Twitter from random people with minimal following. You've fallen for it, and might consider what else in the culture war you've gotten stirred up about that isn't as big of a deal as a breathless tabloid article would imply.
Do many married men really want that kind of life though?

It's one thing to be single and roaming the world carefree.

But my observation has been that most men who are married, especially if with children, have some innate desire to provide for the family and not being able to do so (due to unemployment, underemployment, etc.) causes them stress even if the wife is earning more than enough.

Those that don't seem to be an outlier. Is it biological? Is it social pressure? I don't know.
I'm thinking of swapping my gas out for an induction, 100% due to health reasons.

What issues due you have with induction? Everything I have seen says they heat up pots faster than gas.
I'm considering using a SteamDeck as a portable workstation. It's no powerhouse but you'd be able to get a lot of stuff done on something like that. I'd connect it to a keyboard, mouse and external monitor. I've been thinking about not using Windows as my primary platform and Valve has put together something I think I could really get behind.
The main point of the article seems to be that because we are the only branch of life on our planet that became multicellular and started reproducing sexually that it is unlikely that this ever happens. I think that neglects the possibility that once multicellular life arises and begins the arms race of competing with other multicellular lifeforms as well as single celled life, it quickly gets to the point where it can easily outcompete any newly multicellular life. In other words, perhaps the precondition for the development of multicellular life is the absence of other multicellular life.
These aren't trucks and dolls though. It's a pretty big leap from "female monkey babies prefer anthropomorphic toys" to "adult women are biologically predisposed to a deeper understanding of textiles." A cultural explanation is much more parsimonious.
People do what they see others doing, people buy what they see others buying, and what it is available in the supermarket.

If in 20 years it becomes difficult sand expensive to buy meat, would most people still center their diet around it?

Chicken and pork are way cheaper that plant-based alternatives. People cooking at home know many more receipts with meat that otherwise.

Societies have inertia. Good policies can move people, bad ones may delay change for decades.

In Sweden there are many vegetarians, most restaurants have vegetarian options as they do not want to miss a group of 5 because one person cannot find anything to eat. That makes it easier to go meat free, or at least reduce your meat consumption. Go to Japan, and even many vegetarians give up as restaurants make your life impossible if you want to avoid meat.
The Roots of Silicon Valley
I like my induction cooktop. Sometimes I'm annoyed that I can't use a wok, and the buzzing is annoying if it's a poorly made pan, but all and all, the peace of mind of my child not leaving it on by accident, the immediate response to temp change and the health benefits make it a good option for my house. One of my favorite cooking quotes is from Mario Batali: “Only bad cooks blame the equipment. I can make almost every dish in my restaurants on four crummy electric burners with a regular oven, as can just about anyone else who cares to.”
I feel it's only a matter of time until we start to identify health threats from inductive fields.

To respond to the second question, though I haven't followed fusion tech closely, from the environmental analyst featured in the article:

"The fusion announcement is great news but sadly it won't help in our battle to lessen the effects of climate change.

"There's huge uncertainty about when fusion power will be ready for commercialisation. One estimate suggests maybe 20 years. Then fusion would need to scale up, which would mean a delay of perhaps another few decades.

"And here's the problem: the need for carbon-free energy is urgent - and the government has pledged that all electricity in the UK must be zero emissions by 2035. That means nuclear, renewables and energy storage.

"In the words of my colleague Jon Amos: "Fusion is not a solution to get us to 2050 net zero. This is a solution to power society in the second half of this century.""

If you're not actively in a sundown town, it's perfectly fine and safe to visit regardless of your ethnicity. The experience is often eye opening.

Imo there should be a cultural exchange program where you students in cities and send them to rural schools for a semester and vice versa via exchanges. It's important to the American experience to be able to understand both worlds if we are going to continue to coexist in a union.
A woman simply cannot be a role model in all of the same ways as a man, and vice-versa. This belief that men and women are the same and contribute in exactly the same ways is a big part of the problem that this article discusses.
