Your list is a 100% match with my requirements list for my build in the Chicago area in 2018. Sounds like you may have also spent a lot of time on Green Building Advisor articles and forums.

Our biggest challenge was finding contractors willing to execute to plan. My wife and I ended up doing a lot of work ourselves especially around insulation details and HVAC systems.
No I'm considering making tools for recruiters and/or candidates.

I probably don't understand all their problems, but it certainly looks like a lot of them come their...how do i put this? either ignorance or stupidity.

I'm not just talking about the crappy companies with low budgets.
On more than one occasion, it was for companies with big budgets(either unicorns, scale-ups or startups who just raised millions, and it really was the recruiter/headhunter who was screwing it up.

One of my first strategy would be to use a model to detect the candidates who are the most likely to quit their jobs(I was about to build that but I saw a startup launched something similar)
(of course I shouldn't even mention "open to work" or out of work devs, that's obvious)

2nd, I would do scoring based on exact keywords matches(some of them don't even do that correctly), then on similar technologies, ie:angular/react/vue, java/c#, on which roles they used it at, for how long etc...

3rd target the employees of companies with low/declining glassdoor ratings

4th, I may scrape github accounts, to find people who just started learning a technology but may not have it mentioned on their job experience

What I don't get is, you can only contact 100 to a few hundreds people per week on linkedin, so why they do they target us so badly?
Sometimes it looks like they just look for the word developer and send a message to the 100 first results

It's not like they even use fake accounts to have unlimited messages, I've rarely seen recruiters with even just 2 accounts, so they waste the small amount of messages they have on totally awful matches

I'm certain with a decent algorithm and 10-50 linkedin accounts I could do the job of 10-50 headhunters
On average it tracks inflation, in metros it far outpaces it due to artificial supply constraints. Because you only make a 20% downpayment on the property, youre actually making a 5X leveraged bet on real estate at the outset. The S&P goes up what 7% geometrically on an annualized basis but due to the leverage inherent in your mortgage, your house only has to appreciate (at the start) 1.4% to achieve the same return on your equity.
IMO Calgary has screwed itself over the long term: they’ve spread out from the city center to an absurd distance, and the cost of maintaining the infrastructure is going to be crippling fifty years from now. City taxes are going to be insane when the water, sewer, gas, and electric systems start to require repair and replacement.
The part that tends to be left out (maybe unaddressed or I'm uninformed) is, is there a single payer component to it like actual Medicare? In general, you spend several decades of your life working and paying in to collect for maybe a couple decades. And the more you make or pay in, the more coverage you have.

So would we just end up with a government plan that we still need to pay premiums, deductibles, co-pays, etc on? And where are the systemic savings (providers still need to have billing agents to deal with this and private insurance, government overhead peobably isn't that much better than business overhead)? Do the people who can't afford it go on Medicaid to cover the balance like they do if they can't afford current Medicaid? Or are the suggestions really just misnamed and are totally different?
The AndroidAPS works with many Omnipod models, and with DanaRS or Accu-Chek insight which are all quite small pumps.

If you have the knowledge, I can highly recommend doing some research and try looping. I've been doing it now for three years. Time in range is about 92%, A1c always 5.8-6.0%. 80% of the stress is gone. Life is better.

But, it's not accepted therapy and you have to do lots of research to learn how to use the systems. For me it has worked like nothing else. I got my life back after 21 years of suffering with T1D.
In my experience with government publications, yes, any publication of this sort will tend to be on the conservative side.
We've only really tried for 0 years.

Exxon knew about climate change in 1957 [0].

People beat the drum hard from 1977 to 1990. What's happened? Regulatory capture has only gotten worse. There is nothing to be optimistic about here.

At some point in our lifetime we are going to have to effectively abandon cities like Miami, and our politicians will still be in denial about climate change.
Why not? Pinterest is a popular site, with lots of content all linked to each other. Many people probably spend a long time there after clicking a result.
I just spent some time looking at this. There's no reason you can't use Obsidian with git. Obsidian just saves md files in a basic folder structure. You can git init in the root of your Obsidian vault directory (.gitignore your .obsidian folder). There's even an "Obsidian Git" community plugin that does the git work for you.

To serve your md files as a traditional wiki in browsers, there's a git backed wiki named Gollum that also uses md files in a basic folder structure. https://github.com/gollum/gollum You can see where I'm going with this.

Gollum doesn't have user authentication or anything fancy, it just renders and edits md files. I tried it. There didn't seem to be a difference between Obsidian's and Gollum's markdown. When I committed my entire Obsidian vault to a git repo, I could still choose to have Gollum serve the entire vault, or just a subdirectory in the repo. I could also disable all editing in Gollum.

While Obsidian is working directly with the md files, Gollum doesn't update until I actually commit the changes. Obsidian is basically an IDE for my wiki now.

I was mostly satisfied with Joplin syncing to OneDrive prior to today's experiment. But now I think Obsidian + Git + Gollum deserves a closer look. It might be a bit overkill for my personal wiki, but it could work in a team setting if everyone works on the wiki like they would a normal git project.
To be fair, the rampant insane cost of healthcare in the US is due to lack of any regulations on costs and spending, meaning big pharma, doctors and hospitals, etc. will shake down as much as they can get way with from the insurance companies and patients, in borderline fraudulent ways, without any accountability. Plus the expenses of becoming a doctor in the US and the high cost of management and bureaucracy in the US system.

Also, hospitals in the US don't need to be decked out like an oil-sheik's mansion with expensive frivolities. In Europe, they're really spartan on luxuries as they're just places where you go to get treated, not art galleries.

My point is, a lot of the massive costs in US healthcare is just down speculation and waste, both of which could be reduced of desired without sacrificing quality.
The problem isnt the cookies. The problem is the consent popups.
In your opinion not knowing when a response occurs improves "discussion quality"

Objectively, it reduces the opportunity for "discussion" - since you don't know someone is actually having a "discussion" (or trying to have one) with you

Whether that correlates to better or worse "quality" is highly debatable :)
> I used to work at a company that wanted us to TDD everything.

Dogma is the bain of everyone :) I will never advocate "100% TDD." It is a tool like any other that has its place and, more importantly, doesn't fit everywhere. Though I will freely admit I do encourage people to use it more than what I have seen to be the typical amount.

> When it came to adding a feature to a Rails app, the interface is pretty well defined, it’s going to serve up HTML and js, it’s got to fit on the existing structure of the page or conform to a design.

It's very unlikely I'd use TDD on that. Boilerplate/plumbing is something I rarely use/advocate TDD for - it's the "clever" stuff you want to cover. The stuff that is following rules outside of the code itself.

> Tests were changing as much as production code while we worked on that.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that, imo.
Who owns Britain’s underground heat?
> Although in theory you've screwed up if you need to bolus glucagon.

Not at all. There are myriad reasons why one might go low despite doing everything right. For instance, unanticipated cardiovascular activity. T1D is a 24/7/365 PITA and one cannot anticipate everything, even with the best will in the world.
Do you mean on Linux that calling fsync might not actually flush to the drive?
All that would mean is its a market where supply >= demand. The weights on the scale aren't as relevant, IMO.
Good Point.

A simple test can be to see the degree of dataloss you can occur with a hard power off.

I think the author did that test for M1 Mac but idk. if they did the test with the other laptops.

But then the M1 Mac is slower when flushing then most SSDs out there and even some HDDs. I think if most SSDs wouldn't flush data at all we would know of that and I should have run into problems with the few docent hard resets I ran into in the last few years. (And sure there are probably some SSDs which cheap out on cache flushing in a dangerous way, but most shouldn't as far as I can tell).
As for point one: I'm not talking about client/server access to services. I'm talking about the capacity for endpoints to talk to each other. IPv4 would be fine if we want a fully centralized computing infrastructure where everything is only a thin client, but that's a future with zero privacy or personal freedom.

I don't think there's anything special about IPv4 in terms of DDOS mitigation. What you're probably seeing is an artifact of focus and investment. IPv4 is still the lowest common denominator standard. Virtually everyone can talk to an IPv4 endpoint. As a result the DDOS protection services still mostly use IPv4 endpoints because it reduces the amount of attack surface they have to protect. If they were dual-stack they would have to deal with BGP black holing on what amounts to two BGP networks instead of just one.

DDOS is something that desperately needs a more comprehensive solution, but it's a hard problem to solve. Right now the solution is for DDOS protection services to run bastions with enough bandwidth to absorb attacks, but that's a solution that constricts innovation tremendously. I feel like a permanent solution would require cryptography to be designed into the entire network so that you could do things like rate limit packets to your host for people who didn't present a certificate. That would require a deep redesign of the entire network though, and that's not going to happen.
I went with this combo as well. My requirement was to sync my password database across multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, and Android). KeePassXC works great on all the desktop OSes, and there's a couple choices for Android apps (I chose Keepass2Android).

It does have downsides, mostly around Syncthing: it's a bit of a battery hog and there's no iOS app. If either one of those ever becomes enough of a problem for me I can just switch it out for one of the more normal cloud storage providers though.
Which word dictionary did you use? I tried coding my own but was surprised as how messy all the dictionaries are.
That thread on /ck/ was legendary! I've also seen some pretty funny "ITT: Pretend we're HN" threads on /g/. The Overlap between 4chan and HN seems to be larger than it originally appears...
I recently bought one of the best CO_2 meters available here (and had a CO alarm since before that):
the low temperature boiler (natural gas, 1991) in our kitchen contributes close to nothing to the CO_2 level despite getting its air from inside. Letting it run on automatic a whole workday contributes less than 200ppm in our flat.
But an adult and two kids can bring the level from below 500ppm to above 1000ppm in around one hour -- additionally: doesn't really matter if the doors to other rooms are open or not. Ppm fluctuation is (way) less than 100ppm between rooms.

(All time low 380ppm -- 10% above the world average during my birth :-( , highest 1620ppm)
I've done a 3 year stint of exclusively using Linux on the desktop at home. After that I bought a gaming PC for the first time in years and went with Windows.

Now, I can't justify sticking with Windows anymore. I'm going back to Linux, especially now that I don't game much and Valve have lifted Linux gaming to such a high level.

Ironically, paradoxically and/or hypocritically in my role as CTO I've just made the switch from on premise Exchange to 365 for my (Microsoft-heavy) organization with plans to move more stuff to the cloud. Means, ambition and motives are very different between my personal and my professional situation.
The U.S. is now energy independent
why do they spell Africa with a K?
The wording here is quite subtle. Without SIO, fsync is merely a request, returning an error if one occurred. As the informative section points out, this means that the request may be ignored, which is not an error.

> If _POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO is not defined, the wording relies heavily on the conformance document to tell the user what can be expected from the system. It is explicitly intended that a null implementation is permitted.

Compare this to e.g. the wording for write(2):

> The write() function shall attempt to write nbyte bytes from the buffer pointed to by buf to the file associated with the open file descriptor, fildes. [yadadada]

This actually specifies that an action needs to be performed. fsync(2) sans SIO is merely a request form that the OS can respond to or not. And because macOS does not define SIO, you have to go out and find out what that particular implementation is actually doing and the answer is: essentially nothing for fsync.

By farmers I was referring to modern farmers. You can certainly do farming in early 19/20th century style with horses instead of tractors, but let me know how that would work for farmer’s profit&loss
Indeed. I am not diabetic, but a close friend is, and I have observed all of the effort and uncertainty that goes into it.

My friend got a new high-end closed loop system, and it's so much better than the previous pump. There's still a long way to go before it's truly an artificial pancreas, but my friend already has much higher quality of life, and the tech is still improving.
Looking for some links now! Came across this concept about 18 months ago in a textbook called Social Network Analysis for Startups.

From my notes:

On Conflict Propagation:

* Conflict between B and C forces A to take sides.

* If A sides with B, then conflict between A and C forces D to take sides.

* If D sides with A instead of C, it keep conflict from arising in the rest of the network, but if D sides with A it will force E to take sides and so on.

* Having more ties increases an agent’s probability of forming even more ties, but it also increases the probability that a conflict between two agents will spread throughout the network, as their decision to side on any side of the conflict can spiral downward.

* So just as there is a critical mass that causes tie density to grow exponentially, there is also a critical mass value on the upper end of density (self-organized criticality) that prevents it from growing further because the increased density leads to greater conflicts that bring the density back down.

* Similarly, the more dense a forest is, the greater the catastrophe. This is why permitting smaller fires down-regulates the density of the forest to insure that most fires are well contained.
Rebundling the Data Platform
The argument is probably something along the lines of "most building codes are costly but not necessary for safety" aka "it can be somehow done significantly cheaper but just as safely, a way that doesn't follow the building codes".

Not sure such a way exists...
> Are Wordle's mechanics even copyrighted?

My understanding of intellectual property is that not only are the game mechanics not copyrighted, they aren’t even copyrightable. The code and assets that are used to implement the game mechanics are automatically protected by copyright but not the gameplay itself.

Bringing copyright into this discussion is an irrelevant distraction.

Edit: as both Apple and the NY Times are based in the US, I thought I’d double-check what the US legal situation is (in case American rules differ from the Berne convention). It turns out there’s a whole Wikipedia article dedicated to this subject¹:

> There is a long established Copyright principle called the idea–expression distinction, where Copyright is meant to protect a creator’s unique expression, without giving anyone a monopoly on a broader idea. The US Copyright Office specifically states that “Copyright does not protect the idea for a game, its name or title, or the method or methods for playing it. Nor does copyright protect any idea, system, method, device, or trademark material involved in developing, merchandising, or playing a game.”

Also: A Stack Exchange answer² provided a reference for the quotation cited in the Wikipedia article. The original US Copyright Office URL is now a 404 but here’s the archived version of their article: https://web.archive.org/web/20160403041628/http://www.copyri...

Yeah, I don't know of any technology capable of holding back nearly a foot of water. Hopefully they figure it out before it's too late for Miami.
It doesn't overwrite or obscure, it switches rendering direction. E.g. \u202E\u41\u42\u43 starts outputting from the right: \u41 from the right, then 42, then 43. That's CBA, altough in normal English you'd render that as ABC.
Is TDD really about never figuring out unknowns using untested code? What about using diagrams? Or white boarding?

Test first design makes a lot of sense, but when you’re unsure about the design using code to figure it out seems just as reasonable as any other method.

If not what’s left? Do everything waterfall?
>Blackrock made it's rationale public and explicit

Where? I'd like to show it to people.
Example? Surprisingly difficult thing to search for and seems an unwise thing to pick off amazon.
Scientific Workplace does symbolic manipulation a la Wolfram Mathematica, its just not about visualization. Some professional mathematicians, still prefer it compared to more recent and feature rich programs.

Maybe a feature comparison table between these "older" alternatives would be useful here.
> The good news is that it is actually really hard to die from low blood sugar, assuming good medical care is available.

Yes, but the bad news is it only takes one mistake to do you in, and the battle never stops for your entire life. I had a fellow T1D friend die last summer from hypoglycemia. Wikipedia says (with a citation, available at link):

> In terms of mortality, hypoglycemia causes death in 6-10% of type 1 diabetics.

It's the kind of thing that hangs over you. Every time you go to sleep, you wonder if maybe you took too much at dinner and this will be your last night. (I'm sure you know this from your wife--there's a reason she was interested in that book--but the reading audience may appreciate the context.)

The article raises a good point, but in a hamfisted and clickbaity way.

The underlying story is that there is no story: the author recorded a sensitive conversation and sent it to Otter. Otter sent him a survey in response and referenced the title of the recording. The author grew concerned that his recordings had been shared with China. Otter scrambled to respond, and eventually reassured the author that his recordings had never been shared with any foreign governments or law enforcement agencies.

The underlying point, that using transcription services puts journalists' sources at risk, is well taken. But the story unfairly tries to make it sound like Otter has a problem, when the author is really just using Otter as a vehicle for their story.
I store the printed credentials to my password manager and my e-mail account in a safe deposit box (without mentioning on that paper what the codes are for).

Then I store a YubiKey which is a second factor to these accounts in another safe deposit box in another location.

So should I forget my master password: drive to box 1.

Should my house with all my computers burn down: drive to boxes 1 and 2, find a pc or phone somewhere, and I have access to all my accounts.

Should my password manager go bankrupt overnight and take my vault with them: drive to boxes 1 and 2, then click “forgot my password” on all services and use my e-mail to recover access.

Should my password manager go bankrupt overnight and take my vault with them, my e-mail provider go bankrupt overnight and take my mailbox with them: at least I have my own e-mail domain, so I can set up a new mailbox elsewhere

Should my password manager go bankrupt overnight and take my vault with them, my e-mail provider go bankrupt overnight and take my mailbox with them, and my domain registrar go bankrupt overnight and take my domain with them: yeah…then I’m screwed. I’ll migrate to a wooded country and become a hermit.
I use Kagi as a search engine and can just block the site from the search results.
Homes are not like a normal product because people NEED SOMEWHERE TO LIVE.

Maybe if we allow homes to be investments (to spur development of homes in locations and of a certain design/quality as demanded by the market), then the government should be required to provide a basic home for every single person that requests one.
You can move the code that hides behind the interfaces that you test, but you can’t redesign these interfaces which is the essence of design.
I think it's somewhere in here, this novella or whatever it is called The Gervais Principle, Or The Office According to “The Office”

Of course that isn't actual data, but the analysis explores the idea that only sociopaths make it to the top in a great deal more depth, if what you're looking for is depth of background and understanding of where this idea comes from, rather than why this specific person who you responded to believes it to be true.

Yeah, I TDD / TFD as much as I can, much simpler. Even just stubbing out a few simple smoke tests that I red/green/refactor saves so much time. For me, I think I spend less time writing code as well, since it forces me to be clear to myself about requirements early on (even if the story/ticket wasn't clear enough), and keeps a "check" on my natural tendency to go down rabbit-holes before properly speccing out non-essential features or tempting optimizations. I ask myself: Does this help me pass the tests and complete the feature? If no, then I need to sit on my hands and not get all code-cowboy trigger-happy :)
My wife developed type 1 diabetes as an adult (40s) from an autoimmune disease (it attacked her thyroid as well). At first her pancreas still had a bit of function left, which made things even harder because there would be unknown random extra insulin, so the only way for her to manage was to eat ultra-low carb and not very much, so she lost a ton of weight. She actually did better once her pancreas no longer produced insulin, because then the calculations all type 1 diabetics must do would actually sort of work (and I emphasize "sort of", for all the reasons explained in the articles and comments) and she could eat a bit more normally.

A problem not mentioned in the article is that the different insulin formulations that are supposedly in the same category (fast acting vs basal) have somewhat different curves, and our insurance company keeps making her switch formulations depending on whatever is cheapest this month, and whenever she switches the calculations are off so she suddenly has to deal with more highs and lows.
