I can't make sense of these statements.

The author thinks that couch potatoes have more stress and inflammation (and probably more fidgeting, etc, too), and these things burn calories which explains the results. That's the opposite to what you say here, which is that the results suggest that being a couch potato is normal.

Reconsider because you'll do yourself a disservice by expecting the world to work that way. You don't want to be surprised and upset when your employer rewards someone for introducing more bureaucracy instead of some technically challenging work you delivered.

> If you're wiring a home today, I would 100% use OS2 over CatN unless you also need PoE.

OS2 is not needed for most homes. Use multi-mode fibre (OM4 or OM5), which can do 25-100 Gbps @100m (or more):

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

You'd have to have quite a house to need internal runs longer than 100m (300'). For runs up to 100m: 2.5 Gbps can be done with Cat5e, 5G with Cat6, and 10G with Cat6A:

Yes, if you dig around V8 performance profiles you'll see some massive "Optimizing Code" blocks that appear at the bottom of a frequently-hit routine once, then subsequent calls to that same routine will run faster.

That being said, while I haven't investigated this super thoroughly, in my experience the delta is usually small.
Same thing happened to me 2 months ago, appealed, got reply, took photo proving identity, "nothing we can do", so I gave up, might not be your best course of action but I didn't want the stress of fighting it so created a new one and added my friends again. I then created a backup of my friends list just in case it happens again.
If the original creator patented ANS and then just basically waived the patent for everyone, would that not help the situation with other implementations that are "close enough" to the original?
If I were wiring a home, I'd probably run some multimode fiber alongside CAT6 or maybe even 2 shielded CAT6 to support a secondary LAN like for surveillance cameras.
I live and hire people in Colorado, and a bunch of recruiters contact me about remote roles. Most companies that fear transparency just advertise very broad ranges, e.g. $100-200k. I'm sure some companies refuse Colorado employees, but nobody I've talked to seems concerned.

The market for engineers in Colorado is very hot. What we're seeing is the smaller Boulder/Denver startup scene from the past decade transforming into a larger and more stable market as companies like Ibotta, Guild Education, SendGrid, etc. are hiring a ton of engineers. And you still have lots of smaller startups competing for talent.
The perfect pair

Containerfile vs Dockerfile - Infra as code

podman vs docker - https://podman.io

podman desktop companion (author here) vs docker desktop ui - https://iongion.github.io/podman-desktop-companion

podman-compose vs docker-compose = there should be no vs here, docker-compose itself can use podman socket for connection OOB as APIs are compatible, but an alternative worth exploring nevertheless.

Along these lines, I just purchased a low tech solution called a KSafe for personal use and I love it.

It's basically a safe with a timer and no override, so you can say, lock up for 2 hours, put your (de)vice inside, and push the button. The only way to open it early is to break the safe.

As someone who has struggled with impulse control, especially around technology, I have used it to great effect. Spent an uninterrupted two hours playing guitar and reading physical books for the first time in ages.

I use it personally, but I could see it being useful for families as well.
This seems to be in agreement with what I said, but you appear to have put it up as a counterexample. Showman means entertainment. He's an entertainer. He also seems to be one of the rare entertainers who doesn't fib for greater entertainment value. The LTT labs thing linked elsewhere suggests he cares about the technical side and, like BuzzFeed News, wants to use entertainment to fund more serious stuff.

I don't see a problem here. The keyboard thing sounds entertaining, so I'll go check it out.

> You actually should eat more

I did… the problem with me (and with, I dunno, half of humanity? ;)) was I overcompensated, I ate more than I needed to build muscles and recover from exercise. So I gained weight slowly, or for long periods of time, just failed to lose the extra weigh I had through exercise alone. My problem is that exercise without calorie tracking doesn’t help me lose weight, I have to do both. And once I learned to do both, I automatically figured out at the same time how to lose weight without exercising at all. I still exercise, but now I get to use exercise as a way not just to get strong, but also to eat extra snacks. :)
I currently pay for 78Mbps for myself and my partner. At most I am going to downloading something from steam (~10Mbps), watching something from YouTube (~10Mbps) and my partner will be streaming something to the TV (~10Mbps)

Even at this extreme there's still ample headroom, and our rate is ISP limited; so the line can do much more.
It’s just a great internet provider, which very much caters to techies. They supply the plug in the wall, you provide your own router etc.

I guess the key is that they _are_ actually more expensive than the competition here, and they provide less ”value”.

But less is very much more in this case, since you don’t have to use a locked-down provider-specific router. I guess they save money that way too.
There is really just not much point. The most data intensive thing a normal user will run into is 4k streaming and that will work on a 100mbs cat5 fine. No server is going to push that much content to a single user so unless there is P2P it would be pretty hard to saturate that much. Every use case involving 10 GbE is specialized so there is no point adding the cost to consumer hardware...
Stream hires in Co, Amsterdam and remote. I think it's a good trend that jobs show a salary indication. The only thing that makes it tricky is that the range can be quite wide depending on experience. So for some roles, where you are ok with a wide range of experience your low to high range can be 3-4x. So it doesn't solve all problems, but it solves some. Probably a good initiative.
They will force it, probably. I think for enterprise edition, they will allow it.

Statute of Limitations, but...

A "friend's" parents chose to go without a phone. My "friend" realizing how simple the old phone systems were rewired the second line of "his" parents' house to the line of a neighbor from a near by junction between houses. "He" would have to quietly pick up the phone to see if the line was free, and quietly hang up if not to try later. It worked well for a period of time until "he" forgot to unplug the phone before leaving. "His" parents were quite surprised when the phone in "his" room started ringing.

You can but that's not the point.

What is very unusual here is that they are asking you if you want bigger ads, a slower experience, and recommend that you don't chose that option. There is also an ad free, paid alternative in the small print.

It is the opposite of what the usual suggestions are. Generally, the most predominant is the paid option, then the one with big ads, then the one with small ads.

The most probable reason here is that they want to show you that if you don't like integrated ads that look like emails, you can, but it will be terrible. Maybe it is a legal requirement or something.

Not much is really out there for routing to the internet at those speeds; there's lots of stuff for 10GBe in-house, and some machines are starting to come with it (it's power hungry). The Mac mini can come with it, for example. I have a decent setup at home with some 10GBe cards in some old servers through a 4 port SPF 10GBe switch.
This is true almost anywhere. You need to be likable or people won’t do you any favors. Doesn’t matter how good you are at your job.

With that said, academic hiring is a broken process. Professors should be hired and fired like anyone else. It would benefit everyone except already tenured professors who have decided to coast after making tenure. Tenured professors who are doing great would have better job prospects and be able to move more freely as there would be more open competition for top talent.

I agree, until they have proof, they shouldn't be allowed to "freeze" things more than a month or two and certainly not prevent people from getting enough to pay for a decent lawyer. CAF is a joke and should require a conviction. Texas is a big abuser of it as well. The law (who are the only ones who have the legal permission to do violence to you, essentially legal abusers) finds loopholes like this and really latches on. Their primary directive is to follow the constitution, they all take an oath but evidently don't care about that oath or keep it in mind when doing this stuff.
LOIs are 4 pages long by convention. They are also not legally binding and are just the blueprint for the definite agreement.

Hmm... maybe. Since we're generalizing, I'll throw another generalization on the pile. :) Most parents are slow to react to these problems but, once they do react, they want fast results and so they are tempted to reach for actions that are unhelpful or even counterproductive.

When parents approach it with a mindset of realistic expectations (especially around timeframes), I think most of them can in fact figure out things that work (where 'work' means 'lead to improvement over time'). There are always some kids who simply don't respond, but speaking generally, I believe most do.
How many parents are coming out of corporations that are just meant for resumes? None of which will ever be looked at again or enforced by the corporation. This is cancer.

Elm or Pine from a terminal are better than something with ads, so just about anything.
It might benefit workers in general but I don't think it will benefit me as a software engineer. The salary becomes tied to the job title/level and it becomes hard for me to individually negotiate. When the salary is tied to the job title, it is also much harder to get meaningful raises in many companies because the promotion process is a lot more bureaucratic.
I mean that's not so weird, for some roles pay is standardized, but for other roles like a software engineer, or an AE it can vary widely based on experience. And nobody wants to post 7 job postings with level 1, level 2, level 3 etc.

> We get excited on new and deeper problems.

The value proposition of Rust is to make it easier to solve deeper problems by combining a state-of-the-art language (that will be designed to get out of the way as much as possible) with the best efficiency.

> tons of tangled and non-generalizable business logic

This can often be made more maintainable by using embedded DSLs. Rust includes language support for macros that makes it easier to design and use special-case custom languages.
Or pay for Outlook and do away with ads altogether.
I mean that Rust knows exactly when something will be deallocated at compile time due to its lifetime system (for things that are single ownership, Rc/Arc excluded). In contrast, ARC does compiler assisted increments/decrements if I recall, but still uses runtime ref count to know if something needs deallocation.

While you could use it for hosting a business, I wouldn't recommend doing so without some business plan that offers SLA.

True, but Docker is an awful choice for those things (builds are performed "inside out" and aren't reproducible, publishing produces unauditable binary-blobs, consumption bypasses cryptographic security by fetching "latest" tags, etc.)

You can serve this style of login from a front page, but then the user gets the unstyled, limited context browser prompt before they see your site.

There's no button to create a new account or find a forgotten password. There's no reasonable way to logout. It's usable for a site with a trainable user base, like a small club or employees, but I wouldn't expect anything intended for public use to do it. I've experienced one public site that used it for its members only (subscription) content, but I think they've switched to forms and cookies.
Yes, this is a very material difference to a lot of people, but the original claim was that it's something that only a speculator would do. I'm saying that as a person looking to buy and move into a house, this is 100% something I'd be happy to do.

Where I am, I'm seriously considering down payments in the hundreds of thousands. Should houses be that expensive? No, I personally believe we should build so much housing that it tanks the market. But the reality for people trying to buy a house here (Austin TX), +$10k to the down payment is insignificant compared to the price variation between home A and home B.

I’m not the person to whom you were responding, but my experience is that companies that don’t share salary information in their postings seem to be distributed across the pay spectrum.

I suspect most companies aren’t sharing because of institutional inertia. Their HR folks would probably have to propose the change internally, and from their perspective it’s just not worth the time to do so.

Some companies don’t present salary bands because they know they are paying under market, and doing so would shrink their funnel. At least from the perspective of the people posting the jobs, that’s a rational decision - they likely don’t have influence over the salary, but they can decide not to post it up front.

On the other side of the issue, I expect that companies that pay very well have many fewer problems getting candidates into their candidate pools. If they know they’re paying more than their competitors, posting it would only increase the number of inbound candidates when they’re not having issues in that area. More candidates means that their evaluation process would need to scale further, which means more work for them with no immediately demonstrable benefit.

From the candidate’s perspective, salary information would give me one more (powerful) tool to assist me in choosing where to focus when I’m job hunting. I would discard very low salaries and spend a bit of additional time focusing on very high salaries. I’d follow up more thoroughly and aggressively with the highest paying employers. I wouldn’t immediately disregard the middle of the distribution, though, for several reasons.

What’s included in the posted salary? Is it actually “salary”, or is it total comp? Are healthcare and other benefits costs accounted for? If not, what does the benefits structure for the company look like? Is equity included? How should I quantify the inherently unpredictable future value of equity? What about their vesting schedule? Is the salary offered for the specific job that’s available, or might it be possible to end up being hired into a similar position with a different title/compensation? Is there room for negotiation? Can salary itself be negotiated directly, or might I need to use more creative methods, like asking for additional PTO, stipends, etc?

It’s a very hard problem, and I honestly don’t think trying to boil it down to a number (or range) offers much value to either side.
