There's other replies in this thread linking to [0]. My personal recommendation is his Mistborn trilogy. He wrote all three before publishing any, so the books feel like a cohesive whole, but he wrote it in a way that the first book ends in a manner that you could feel satisfied with a good story after only reading one book.

Mistborn is my favorite trilogy ever. I've read it multiple times and I know the plot very well. The reason I love it is the characters. They feel so real, and you get genuinely invested in their growth through the books.

One-line description from the website: It’s a hybrid epic fantasy heist story with a focus on political intrigue and powerful action scenes.

Einstein was a patent clerk at a time when government funding for science was vastly lower than today and there were research and teaching jobs for only a small fraction of physics PhDs. Also there were much fewer PhDs back then, so with a a PhD from one of the most prestigious schools, that patent clerk was in fact a physics insider.

I'd be curious to see how many packages have a pre/post install script that gets executed automatically by npm. This seems particularly problematic. It's a huge reduction in security, I'm surprised npm can justify the feature.
If you like strongly pro-labor laws, you’d love France. I don’t think the tech scene is particularly good there, in no small part due to those laws.
Thanks, f0rgot! We may have changed our availability and compensation to be a better fit. I'd encourage you to apply again.
I'd say the first Mistborn Trilogy is as good a place to start as any. Warbreaker is another one that is a good starting point. Or you could dive right into The Stormlight Archives like I did (unknowingly). There may be other ways to do it too.

I think everyone should go read Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste, particularly Brahmins. It’s important for people of privilege to read his work, in the same way that it’s important for white people in the US to read Malcolm X’s autobiography. It will probably make you uncomfortable, but personal growth is often uncomfortable.

The Indian Ministry of the Exterior has his work up for free [1], but I’d suggest the printed US edition of Annihilation of Caste with Arundhati Roy‘s introductory essay.

Perhaps it’s exactly what it claims to be? I think I’ve heard, “remarkably simple” used as a compliment more often than “remarkably complex.”
Actually yeah, even though I'm trying to get it in 3 every day, I do not optimize my starting word. In fact I get quite some pleasure out of choosing a bad starting word (like MELEE) and then going for a 3. I wouldn't mind if wordle had an option to start with a random word (and everyone who plays that way that day has that same randomized starting word.)
Many entities in the west own vast amounts of Russian assets that have been frozen. Particularly energy companies, have billions and billions of dollars' worth of shares of Russian companies. They probably have better lobbyists than anyone using Robinhood.

For now, they're writing it off, valuing at zero, it sounds like. It's impossible to sell, so they have to assume it's completely worthless.

> 2) it's an incredible amount of funding for a kickstarter campaign

This isn't really a "kickstarter campaign" - it's a preorder which is for whatever reason being organized through kickstarter. Kickstarter shows a disclaimer that says "you may never receive anything", but the odds of that happening here are 0%.
Yeah, I've met several people that use cashapp to send money to reload their account in games, and if they do well, they get paid their winnings via cashapp. Totally circumventing the 30% cut, and legality rules too. I'm sure it's a wackamole type of thing with games getting yanked off the stores.

These are targeted directly at addicts (not just gambling) as the game play is rather basic and just entertaining enough to keep that tweaker mindset occupied.

American LNG is already allocated 100% at this time. Besides, you need very expensive port infrastructure as well to support it, not many EU ports have that capability. If they are looking for new energy sources, it will need something more efficient. Can't rely on LNG.

This law seems moot for software devs. The section 4 carve out easily covers what we do.
It really isn't a common way to define it. The colloquial definition of racism is still racial prejudice, regardless of power. This is also the way it was used historically - both W.E.B. DuBois and MLK referred to "black racists", for example. It was redefined to "... + power" after the Civil Rights Era, but it didn't really catch up outside of the more academic social justice circles.
This is pretty confusing, hardmods are definitely a thing for the current gen Switch - AFAIK it's the only way to jailbreak ones that were manufactured after some date and don't allow soft mods.
I have no trouble believing that people carry their casteist prejudices to Silicon Valley or that they act out their casteism in vile ways.

But when I read stuff that is so clearly nonsensical, I start questioning what embellishment factor I should I account for.

> Questions about a person’s last name or home village can be seen as invasive attempts to identify caste. A pat on the shoulder might be a friendly greeting—or a search for a sacred thread that some dominant-caste Hindu men wear beneath their shirts.

There is simply no way to figure out someone's caste by their home village. The overwhelming majority of Hindu men from dominant castes do not wear a sacred thread. If someone believes that a pat on the shoulder might be checking for a caste marker, it's very likely that they'll be seeing caste discrimination where none exists.
someone told me the wifi blobs exist because of regulations prohibiting wifi chipsets from being easily modified to use illegal frequencies, but they still want to do much of the functionality in firmware so they can have more flexible asic designs that can keep up with standard changes. If that is all true, wifi blobs are unlikely to change.

Putin Warned Us
What do you like about the company and the roles?
Is it though?

As Feynman said: It is like a chess game. If you are in a corner with only a few pieces involved, you can work out exactly what is going to happen, and you can always do that when there are only a few pieces. And yet in the real game there are so many pieces that you can’t figure out what is going to happen ... There is such a lot in the world. There is so much distance between the fundamental rules and the final phenomena that it is almost unbelievable that the final variety of phenomena can come from such a steady operation of such simple rules.

The scientists that mrjangles derides, who "claim to understand the structure of the universe", sound to me like physicists claiming they know the base rules of the game. (I'll set aside that nobody has cracked, say, quantum gravity yet).

When we talk about the puzzling mysteries of the structure of glasses, or superconductivity, or turbulence, or so on -- most of those aren't a matter of a lack of understanding of the base rules of the universe, but rather their consequences when applied to a big system with a lot of parts. That's knowing the rules for how rooks work, but being surprised when your opponent captures your queen with one.
His B-reel books are usually decent ideas, but you can tell when it's Brandon's voice leaking through the characters instead of the characters themselves. He tends to take a bit more care of his larger, mainline books.

IANAM (not a microbiologist):

I believe that it is achieved through CRISPR edited yeast, or possibly another easily cultured bacterial species (E. Coli perhaps?). The cells replicate and are then portioned and lysed, the solution is spun down in a centrifuge, separated for waste and the yield extracted and purified.
Thanks! Let us know if you run into any issues integrating and setting up your first feature.
> Sweden - which followed a different path for a similar outcome

Sweden which has around 1.7x the deaths per million as Canada?

Canada is not unique in its approach, many countries followed that path. In fact Sweden is definitely the outlier there. Singling out Canada for criticism is disingenuous.

> I would take the trucker's disturbance over Trudeau's any day.

So? I'd also take two weeks of crap over two years of pandemic. Guess what? We didn't get a choice about there being a pandemic and your comparison is more or less meaningless.

> Also, blocking bank accounts of people who donated to those truckers

Didn't actually happen.

Go have a read about it. One MP said that one constituent called Brianne had complained that they had their account locked, but refused to give further details. The list of donors was leaked by hackers, nobody by the name given by the MP had donated in the area he represented.

You speak like everyone who donated had their accounts frozen, but there's no real evidence it happened to even a single individual.

> What little trust those people had in societal institutions will have been erased now.

Those people that don't exist? You have fallen for right-wing screeching and propaganda, again.
That's also overkill. 6 months in prison for $300 of stolen good is cruel and unnecessary. The average annual cost per inmate for Colorado is nearly $40k [1], so at six months it's $20k. $300 stolen costs the state $20k, that's just absurd. At that amount you should get some sort of forced community service option before any sort of jail time is considered, or a fine at like 5x the amount paid to the person you stole it from.

Others haven't said so but maybe you should try Warbreaker as it's the "most" standalone book of the Cosmere saga. It's the "most" in the sense that there are still subtle references to other works but they are very minor and you can totally enjoy it without reading the rest of them first. In fact, once you read Warbreaker you can see some connections with it later on the Stormlight Archive

Not the person you're replying to, but I sympathize with this a bit.

My grandmother is very conservative. I'm not talking "voted republican", I'm talking "call black people the N word" and spends all day on Infowars forums. I stopped talking to her when she started being extremely racist towards my wife (who is Mexican) in late 2016. The rest of my family (who don't suck) would just put up with her and roll their eyes at it, until March of last year, when she told my mother that she was a failure because my sister is gay. After that, no one in my family will communicate with my grandmother, and I suspect she's going to die sad and alone, with her only friends being OAN and The Daily Stormer.

There's a part of me that feels guilty over that, because at some level I realize she's just a dumb person being dumb and she can't help that, and that maybe I should make an effort to extend the olive branch, but I can't shake the feeling that being nice and talking to her would be inconsiderate to my wife and sister.

I don't know the correct path on this, and perhaps more depressingly I'm not 100% sure I'll miss her when she does eventually die.

MiraDx | Full-time | Los Angeles | REMOTE | [https://miradx.com](https://miradx.com)

MiraDx is a medical diagnostics lab that uses microRNA assays to help personalize cancer treatments as well as providing COVID testing.

Last year, we rolled out a new React-based platform on top of our existing LIMS, and we're looking for a second full-time engineer to own that codebase to invest in it for the long term. Here are some specific areas we want to work on:

- footgun prevention: building checks into systems to make it harder for users to mistakenly upload incorrect data in the lab

- enough integration tests to demonstrate happy paths, significantly more unit tests for our API

- better decoupling between our React codebase and database

- removing unnecessary complexity: we would love someone who can advocate for why refactoring would be a good idea

- building new features: as we roll out new tests, we will need ways for those tests to be ordered, tracked, and the data to be reported out

Our stack is: React + nextjs, firebase, Salesforce, AWS, Vercel, Cypress, Sentry, Just, and Python

Reach out to me if you'd like to talk! rowan@miradx.com
I would be, given that "AI" hasn't really performed very well on any of the problems we have thrown at it thusfar. Perhaps speech generation is the best fit, but outside of a small smidgen of realms "AI" is not really worth the cost compared to simpler strategies that not only have higher accuracy but a more predictable mode of failure that can be designed around and ameliorated.

> I am from “upper caste”. My experience might not be commonly heard perspective. In 10th grade of schooling, my parents changed my lastname to avoid that folks figure out the caste. Due to affirmative action (aka reservation) on steroids, upper caste were losing opportunities. My parents wanted to avoid that I lose out on selection, promotions.., where subjective discretion was involved.

I'm sorry but this makes no sense to me whatsoever. Reservations in India follow a formal documented process and do not apply to private enterprises. Changing one's surname will make zero difference.
I would start with the stormlight archive series. Honestly, I think when it’s all said and done, that series would overtake LOTR in its cultural significance. It already surpassed a song of ice and fire (game of thrones).

I think it's partly because the JS ecosystem doesn't historically have a solid standard library. Doing simple things can require checking for null/undefined/does the runtime support it, etc. Why do it the hard way when you can NPM install it and call it a day?

The Russian army has "contract soldiers", who signed up, and "conscripts", who are drafted to serve for one year. I've been looking for good counts. Most conscripts are in the army; The navy, air force, and strategic rocket force are mostly (entirely?) contract soldiers.

No, because I broke up with Alphabet years ago.
Imagine you have a Rails controller with a form template and you want to have a section of the form show or hide based on the setting of other form elements, obviously without reloading. Can you do it? Yes. Does Hotwire/Stimulus make this possible? Yes. Can it be done in a nice easy to use way? Yes. If you stretch beyond what Hotwire/Stimulus can let you do, do you have to completely switch over to the "frontend engineering" path of single page applications (React/Angular/Vue/Svelte/etc)? Also yes. Are the primitives you use in Hotwire/Stimulus in any way connected to the ones you'd use if the use case got even a little more complex? Absolutely not. Why not just have one set of primitives that work for all applications?

It's not like having some frontend templating logic or reactive forms or whatever is going to actually be harder than just doing it in Rails if you are familiar and comfortable with both. If you aren't comfortable with both, then that's fine.

It matters for the precise statements these analysis papers are making.
