If we're gonna talk about literacy, we need to talk about how many people receive college educations, yet have across the board weak literacy as operating, functional humans. Not just reading, but in thinking itself, as well as care of their bodies such that they can think at all. Critical analysis is no longer being taught, or its teaching is failing hard. I meet quite a few people that simply are incapable of stringing together logical ideas greater than 2-3 concepts. And the concepts they use everyday, they barely grasp and have no foundational understanding how such processes operate or even continue to be.

This a pure education issue, and that includes eradication of the false education taught by religious backed educational institutes. The magical thinking taught by religious backed schools and universities create mentally constrained individuals who live in a demon haunted world and are dragging down all of civilization.

I don't work for CCP so I don't know why they do stuff, but the fact that they routinely provide false information is very extensively documented.

Come back when you think of an excuse to trust their data without verification.
No, I think they are common and will be common for the foreseeable future even for most new construction, but I can't be bothered to find any references, which are unlikely to be publicly available anyway.
This is like a petty case for government. They even make it difficult to report such case due to bureaucracy :(
Maybe it avoids the need to offer the same quality of service to all consumers?
My last job before retiring last year there were virtually zero promotions in the greater department during my nearly six years there, besides a manager and a director who got multiple promotions. I had the same title (lead) I started with, yet my team and the greater department had high visibility in the (not FAANG but similar sized) company and was tasked with complex projects that affected company revenue. Other than one person made architect, the highest title any programmer had was lead despite there being several dozen employee programmers and nearly 100 contractors. The best improvement in status was a few contractors being offered employee. So while the work might meet the definition of whatever staff is (one of my responsibilities was being in charge of code that made 9 figures a year), and there being 3 levels of programmer titles above lead, no one ever was promoted any higher.

Sometimes the work and the title do not match, if the company or department is uninterested in rewarding people with fancier titles. But I knew another org far removed from ours where the manager was a senior director and all of his (half dozen) team had the top programmer titles, yet did not do anything different than we did, and none of it was revenue related.

My ceramic cooktop is basically stain and scratchfree after using it for cooking 4-5 times a week for 8 years. It's incredibly easy to clean as you can literally scratch of everything that doesn't just wipe away.

The temperature does cycle on and off usually based on a thermometer, so it does hold the selected temperature. I don't get why that's a drawback for you? The cooktop will literally be kept to your selected temperature.

Also the induction cooktops I know use the same kind of glass or ceramic plate on top, so you have the same advantages/disadvantages in regards to scratching, cleaning and breaking it.
I suppose keeping "parasites" around, until eventually slowly slowly firing them, is the worst?
Or just have public/private numbers. VOIP numbers are very cheap. I use jmp.chat for mine.
Even nuclear needs fossil-fuel backup, as building enough reactors to cope with peak demand would be way, way too expensive.

Even a massively-nuclearized France produces 7% to 12% of its gridpower thanks to fossil-fuel plants.

>You could just phone a cab, no? That's what I did anyway; it's less convenient than an app, [...] I don't really see how an "app" is fundamentally all that different,

It's more than just a substitution of tapping an icon vs dialing a phone number.

The Uber business model of non-medallion cars and geographic matching algorithm builds up a "distributed mesh" of drivers to serve passengers -- especially those who are not at typical taxi "hubs" like airports, convention centers, downtown hotels, etc.

Before Uber, getting from one suburb to another suburb using a taxi was unreliable. A traditional taxi dispatcher can broadcast a ride request from a potential passenger in the suburbs but drivers can ignore it and wait for the more lucrative airport-to-downtown ride for $50. Why? Because the taxi meter only runs when that passenger is in the car so it punishes suburb-to-suburb trips and instead, incentives them to wait for the longer airport trips. So hub-to-suburb and suburb-back-to-hub is "dead time" the drivers are not paid for.

A traditional taxi company -- even with an app -- doesn't build that geographically distributed mesh to the same degree. The economic constraint was the taxi meter.

When I was stuck in some distant suburb and had to use taxi companies, the way I "hacked" them to reliably come was to tell dispatch to tell the taxi driver I will tip an extra $20 for the ride. Basically, a form of bribery so the taxi drivers wouldn't ignore the dispatch call.

Well, Chomsky could be dismissed as a "partisan" (activist, etc.).

But Mearsheimer and other such experts are anything but. They just belong to the realist school, as in "no BS ideological sugarcoating international relations, saying like it is".

Kissinger, for one, has written similar things.

Putin might still have gotten it wrong (eg. miscalculating the success, etc), and he's war could fuck not just Ukraine, but also Russia considerably, but that's different to a "crazy unprovoked and without long term national interests in mind war".

Yeah, also you can't compare UTC times without an almanac generated by a random natural process which means even without the cultural/political problem UTC is still by definition uncertain for future dates. AST is arguably better for this but doesn't get around the political problem.

My takeaway of the old discussion:

* It's not clear that it's the "first ever".

* The part about "shows life flashes before eyes" is only a wild speculation.
I joined a company that IPOd somewhat recently and recruits lots of folks from Big Tech (esp Google it seems). Literally everything is driven by promotions and “expectations for your level”. I actually don’t mind having explicit minimum expectations for your job but when that’s all anyone cares about it becomes really dispiriting.
Yup. When people are "senior" engineers with less than 5 years experience they need to have something to look toward.

> So, first: if the population in one country goes up, they can import more gold from elsewhere. It's a commodity after all.

Unless governments ban the exporting of gold, which has historical precedent.

It is possible to run out of gold on which to run an economy. We know this because it has happened:

For a good history of the topic see The Power of Gold: The History of an Obsession by Bernstein:

We've used/tried gold and the world has moved on for good reason. There's no reason to regress (unless you want to relearn the painful lessons of the past).

> Luckily, we have and had the technology to make the gold standard work: fractional reserve banking and privately issued bank notes.

It's interesting that you bring up fractional reserve banking and Canada in the same paragraph, as Canada hasn't had reserve requirements for about thirty years now:

Where's the science? How do you propose we verify anything? Your implication is that one (anyone?) must "work for CCP" to be able to evaluate truth. So then, where is the CCP worker who gave you the framework you're depending on, that can confirm this conspiracy of "false information?" But wait, how can we trust this hypothetical CCP defector? It's a paradox, we can't!

That's true but I think it's almost negligible. If we look at Dxomark's SNR charts for sensors fabbed using the same technology, which have the same size but different resolution, we can see that SNR and DR is about the same.
That is also true if we look at www.photonstophotos.net data.
Yes, but note on the other hand that simpler infrastructures such as one-digit-wide-GB GPUs you could buy and install on your workstation could be similarly frustrating, because you may easily encounter their limits (as in, "I got this semi-specialized equipment and I cannot get an output above 1024x768?!").

So, while one is learning, the case could be for being conservative and work directly on available tools, which will be revealing on some scalability requirements, also optimistically: you do not need a full lab to do (reasonable) linear regression, nor to train networks for OCR, largely not to get acquainted with the various techniques in the discipline.

When the needs push, it sometimes will not be just high-end consumer equipment to solve your problem, so on the side of hardware already some practical notion of actual constraints of scale will help orientation. Because you do not need a GPU for most pathfinding (nor for getting a decent grasp of the techniques I am aware of), and when you will want to produce new masterpieces from a Rembrandt "ROM construct"¹ (and much humbler projects) a GPU will not suffice.

Yea I know it exists, it was just really rare from my limited shopping experience.

I have used induction a couple of times when cooking at my parents house and in a friends kitchen and I happily stay with my ceramic cooktop. Induction is much quicker and more energy efficient, but I just like that I literally control the heat on a fixed size cookfield rather than controlling the strength of the current, where effective heat will depend on the size of the pan.

This is principally a throughput-vs-latency thing, right? Async promises better throughput because concurrency, potentially at the cost of latency.
Yes ofcourse we are all the same, people. But we people have been brought up in different cultures and been fed different naratives so we act differently depending on what we have been brought up to. We can learn to be one way or other to a certain degree.
Hypnosis is the placebo effect. I would point you to the old book persuasion and healing by Jermone Frank. For most of human history the first line treatment for any medical condition has been faith healing, which works better than doing nothing.

Hypnosis as a state has been elusive and hard to prove, hypnotic phenomena seem to be more real. One viewpoint is that the ‘hypnotized’ person is ‘pretending to be hypnotized’, that it really is some combination of role-playing, daydreaming, etc.
You can still use electric stoves, just don't use the induction one. Ceramics cooktops uses old-school heating elements, which is less efficient than induction but works on any pots. Some brands even offer hybrid stoves which have both heating elements and induction zones.

Afaik there is a motion of tossing food in a wok where you throw the food past the rim and catch it again. The moment the food passes the rim, a small flame ignites from the high heat and food oils, creating complex flavors. If you go to Asian restaurants with a wok station or to Southeast Asia/south China you can see this in action.
People should stop being concerned with their labels and where they fit and more concerned about their character, actions in how they care for themselves and treat others, and their accomplishments

Obsession with identity is narcissistic by its very nature. It was one thing when kids were worried about being goth or skaters, ravers or metal heads, yuppies or hip hoppers. Eventually you grew out of that shit

But now that political, gender, racial, sexual identity is ALL IMPORTANT people spend endless amounts of time on it. Adults do. Endless. My HR department sends me invites to speeches on this garbage at least 2x a month.

The only thing identity obsession is good for is an empty life with lots of time advocating for political shit that doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, and some increased time with your therapist.

Your labels don't matter. None of them. No one cares except those staring at themselves in the mirror.. Oh I'm sorry it's 2022. In their own tiktok vids.

It's a hard job to fill, every day there are hundreds of new apps and who knows how many updates (some companies update their apps every week of the year for no reason), and you are probably expected to fill some quantity quota. I bet the turnover is fairly high because you have to have a lot of knowledge, look at crap apps all day long, and any mistake winds up on twitter, and no one will appreciate what you are doing. In the early days of iOS I had a battle with a terrible reviewer back when the rules were even less understood than today; eventually I had to remove so much from the app it was basically pointless. Talking with a friend still at Apple (I was there briefly long before Apple became relevant again) he said that team was completely isolated from everyone at Apple and even he had to way to talk with them (was 10 years ago).

Not sure there is any way to make it less irritating to work at or have to deal with. Automation only goes so far.

Also the 30% cut is for paid apps. Most are free.

I wouldn't bet on Omicron being non-threatening. Omicron is less threatening not because it's weaker, but because people have been either vaccinated or exposed before. Now the question is how effective are Chinese vaccines against Omicron (in terms of making symptoms less severe). Still needs to wait and see, probably in the coming weeks.

Sick and tired of John Mearsheimer, Chomsky and others being trotted out as parade horses in the Putin aplogist ranks. Putin and Putin's henchmen are responsible for attacking Ukraine. The 'look at what you made me do' excuse is getting quite tired.

Very recently: U.S. utilities push White House not to sanction Russian uranium, see https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exclusive-us-utiliti...

Moreover the more we obtain uranium (prospecting, mining, milling...), the more we add to the associated carbon footprint. Therefore a sustained growth of installed nuclear capacity will lead us to exploit mines at always lowering ore grades => more emissions.

Firefox has a way to set a primary password, however IIRC there are some major issues with it. However, it is worth considering what you are trying to protect against and for most single user systems I'm not convinced it is worth using something other than the built in browser password manager (unless you have a number of other applications that require passwords and don't have an easy way to store them). Encrypting paritions with sensitive data is a better way to protect data when the system is off. Unless you clear cookies all the time there is quite a bit that can be done just with cookies, although protecting passwords should at least prevent loosing access to accounts. In some cases a password manager can help with the possibilty of a computer being stolen while on. Uploading unencrypted files right away is easier if someone gains remote access but, while depending some on the specific OS and password manager, it is usually not too difficult to start reading passwords as they are used and intercepting the primary password of the password manager the next time it is used might not be all that hard either.

That was a long time ago. I believe it was based on EF and not on EF core. Is there any up to date benchmark that you are aware of? BTW I used both Dapper and EF for consumer based web applications with a mild load. Dapper is a nightmare to use compared to EF. Dapper was chosen by the customer architect as mandatory because probably of the same benchmark that you are referring to. The result has been that we had to write tons and tons of code to cover things that come out of the box in EF such as 1 to many relationships. Also every change in the schema forced us to review the full persistence layer to evaluate the impacts. I would reccomend Dapper only for websites dominated by SELECT queries on databases with simple DB schemas and only when some millisecond more make a difference. This wasn't absolutely the case for our application ( complicated DB schema and 5 ms vs 30ms spent in the ORM doesn't make any difference at all) while probably IT IS StackOverflow case. There is no such a thing as something slow or fast in absolute terms: it all depends on the context and as software engineers and even more architects we are called to judge with our brains everything in context rather than rely on a blog post written by somebody else.
Is it common for employers to agree to your suggested limitations, or is there huge pushback? Anyone have experience?

Also, I wonder how useful "company working hours" is, when many companies push for more than 8 hours in a day.
>Stackoverflow did a test once

That was long time ago and EF improved a lot since then.

But it can be slow if used improperly. But hand written SQL can be slow too if not carefully crafted.
