I've just done the same (thought not 15 years in), and here are some of the things I've been thinking through that may be help you.

This is an opportunity to change the things you didn't like about yourself in your previous role, and reinforce the things you did. I never took vacations. I had a reputation for always being available on Slack, no matter the day, or the first person on an incident call. Those things are still important to me, but work/life balance is, too, and with no reputation, I can be whoever I want to be. I want to be quick to respond, but only when a system tells me I need to, not because I'm trolling Slack on the couch at 8pm.

Ask a lot of questions. You know enough to be hired, but nothing about the new place, so ask! Give your new peers opportunities to be experts, and eventually they will do the same to you.

Try not to live in the past. This is a place I could use work myself. Rely on the things you've learned, but realize the situation is different, and if you compare now to then, you'll be disappointed. Remember, it took 15 years to get to "then." There is a possibility that it was more than just time, but it will take time to figure that out.

Assuming best intentions, you got to the place you are by being yourself. So, do it again. Rely on your instincts. Look at the world as a recent grad starting their new job, and do it again. You think you forgot how to do it, but maybe you never really knew "how" before, you just did it. If you did it once, you can probably do it again.
False.

I've owned android devices up to galaxy s10. All recently used USB A to C.

Switched to iphone. Only shipped with Lightning to USB C cable, no brick.

All my bricks, like I imagine most people, are USB A female.

I had no way to charge my brand newdevice and had to go out to buy a USB C female charging brick. Like most people.

This is unfounded. Also Apple bought the rights to BSD before FreeBSD existed, back when it was BSD4.3 and FreeBSD would not arrive for over a decade later. Apple also hired a lot of FreeBSD's programmers (including their founder) full-time and some of Apple's technologies such as LLVM have made their way back to FreeBSD.
Alternatives to vaccination are not a bad thing per se, for the reasons you point out.

But pitching Ivermectin as an alternative to vaccination is bad because Ivermectin does not work and the vaccines work very well.
Worth pinging a few of the original signatories on Twitter to get their take?
>Apple had the margin to make these quality: you can get better earphones but not better chargers.

Are Apple chargers really better than those shipped with Android devices?
Yeah out of the box they are poof but I wonder if people would be comfortable with just accessing some of these useful shortcuts in the same positions in another layer?

I experiment around with my layouts and keyboards a little bit so I am probably out of touch.

Yes but it comes at a cost, that you always have to have a backend component for this auth/token exchange in your stack - even when relying on 3rd party SaaS auth providers. I use AWS Cognito for signup + login, and just to make the "code flow" available I had to introduce server-side services in NextJS using NextAuth. I attach the access token then to the session and send it back to the browser/SPA. Now, the access token is used for a broader range of services (different tech stack, different programming languages) that are directly called from the browser through Ajax. What bugs me with this setup is, that my FE is 100% SPA - so in theory I could just export the full NextJS project to static html and host it on a CDN. But the NextAuth service required for the code flow breaks this. I am going with it for now, but depending on hosting costs in the future (I have to run a separate server now for NextAuth vs. hosting static files on a cheap CDN), I might go back to implicit flow, and kill the need for a custom auth-service. Especially that I don't feel it is much safer now - if anyone can gain access to my nextauth server, all tokens will be compromised for all users. With the implicit flow I am no longer responsible for this security, and can rely on AWS/CDN being secure.
Anecdotally, people I know who aren't tech people and who have expensive phones almost always have cheap chargers and off-brand charging cables. The general public seem to perceive that the phone is the valuable thing, a charger or cable is a commodity so they're all the same and work equally well/poorly.

Clearly this is misguided, but I think if I tried to explain how to shop for a good and reliable USB charger to my mom, dad, brother, or sister that they'd each roll their eyes at me.

Of note, the last time I bought a new multi-port USB charger (a few years ago now), it was very difficult to find one which was reasonably priced and which carried the UL (or equivalent) mark in the USA. Another previous multi-port charger I had bought made by Anker had claimed "getting UL approval" in the product description and showed the mark in the pictures on Amazon, but once delivered the physical charger did not have any safety marks present on it. The Anker charger failed after a year and Anker sent me a replacement under warranty, the replacement also did not carry any safety mark.

I think there's a knee-jerk reaction to short-sellers or actions like this because they cause loss of value for a mass of people. I, frankly, don't understand it. Those ultimately responsible are the entities that pumped up a bubble in the first place. Shooting the messenger who is effectively saying "this valuation is unreasonable" is counterproductive. It's like blaming the guy who brings a scam to your attention instead of the scammer.

And to be clear, I'm not saying that short-selling is inherently virtuous. It's a speculative activity like any other in our financial system. But it doesn't make sense that speculation (or even market manipulation) which increases an asset's value is often seen as ok, while the opposite is not.

Edit: Here's a good example - the current Canadian Real Estate Bubble[1]. I wish someone would pop this thing. It's already so big that it's going to hurt a lot of people. The government seems unwilling to do much to restrain it, especially since the pandemic, and as it gets bigger the potential fallout only increases. But I'm willing to bet that if some singular investor/regulator triggers an unwinding they will be blamed for all the consequences. Not the 20 years of policies and decisions that led to the bubble getting this large in the first place.

Please don't state your speculation as an understood fact - afaik there is no published literature that has controlled for parasites and I know the article from scott alexander you're referencing here as he was the one who came up with the hypothesis.

Let's not act like the parasite idea is more than an untested hypothesis though.

Listening to Joe Rogan corresponded to a halving of vaccination rate in those people and his idiotic breed of “both sides” literally got people killed. But glad we avoided something “cataclysmic” like more vaccination. These are the most naive arguments I could imagine. It’s certainly not important to platform a bunch of conspiracy riddled garbage.
Except for the 11 Pro Max which came with an 18W charger, Apple only shipped 5W chargers they made themselves, so the COGS at that scale must have been extremely low, i'd have to imagine under $5 for that.
No harm done. Thanks for replying.

As for ASOIAF: interesting, could you elaborate?

I read The Hedge Knight last (well, the whole Dunk & Egg I mean) and I liked it. I found it to be a compressed, fast-forwarded version of A Game of Thrones. But the style elements and plot devices are all there, and I find them to be mostly the same. What is it that you liked in Hedge Knight but disliked in A Game of Thrones? Was it the supernatural element (dragons, zombies, etc)?

(I realize this might be hard to answer, and that's fine!)
As a veteran Rails developer, Bridgetown is my go-to choice for static sites. Combining familiar ERB templating with cutting-edge asset tooling that just works out of the box makes for a fantastic developer experience.

I'm also intrigued by its ability to serve dynamic routes via Roda. This project is definitely putting some interesting concepts together.
Topre and other electro-capacitive boards are way harder to make 'special'. Their switches are not discrete, replaceable units like MX-and-friends. So, a custom board would need to have a custom-designed PCB, and would need custom-designed dome sheets, etc.

See: https://rmi-kb.com/niz-ec60/

Something that uses MX-compatible (or alps) switches is going to have an easier time being designed and built, because all you need to do is have an up-to-date footprint to copy/paste in your PCB designer program.

Behold, my one-and-only foray into making my own PCB design. I just followed guides online, and it still took me about $300~$500 to get this from 0 to a working and typing prototype: https://imgur.com/gallery/lZglox7
Apple chargers, as well as the earphones were notoriously low quality, especially the cables. They would almost always break or degrade around the connections.
My interpretation is not to ruin my health for a company I hold less than 0.5% stock (options) in.

I agree but don't ruin your health for a company you do hold significant stock in either.

There is hard work and pulling your weight. There is having faith in your vision and giving it your best shot. And then there is being just plain stupid and making yourself ill or worse for something that is still only about money in the end.
Make a rule that every new project must be approved by atleast 7 mid level managers (30+ direct reports each) and watch your organization not produce anything of significance for the next 5 years !
In short, they don't know anything but they advise you to be prepared.
For some people, a $1000+ phone comes with bragging rights. The charger? Not so much.

I'd wager that's one reason some people buy the expensive phone and the cheap charger. The other is simply that most people can't tell the difference between chargers - they both charge, right?

How many of your Anker chargers carry a UL or other safety approval mark on them?

All of Apple's do.

Having a UL mark is not an indication that a product is 100% safe to use, but it at least shows that the manufacturer cares enough about making a safe product to do the paperwork and have a 3rd party like UL review their design and manufacturing to ensure the product is as safe as can be.
Prescriptions which we know now would've been useless...

And even at the time large metaanalysis studies were saying it was useless
I don't understand why we should compare performance in artificial benchmarks to power consumption. Electricity is cheap and I assume that most laptop users have a wall socket nearby. Instead, it makes sense to compare typical user performance (not CPU instruction count) versus price.

For example, let's say CPU A has 32 cores each capable to perform 1B instructions and costs $1000, and CPU B has 4 cores with same speed, but costs $100. Let's say typical task for a machine is browsing social network sites. If this task uses only 4 cores and a user can browse same number of web pages per unit time then effectively both A and B have the same performance, but CPU A has 10 times worse typical performance per dollar.

A metric in this case should be not the count of executed instructions, but for example, a count of web pages viewed by user per unit time, or share of time spent actually viewing pages (and not waiting for them to load).

Of course, you can make similar metrics for other uses - for example, a time taken by illustrator to draw a picture, or count of written lines of code per unit time for a programmer. All divided by hardware cost.

That's the type of comparison I would like to see. Would Apple be winning in such fair and realistic benchmark is an open question. I doubt that.
If you are used to being the guy everybody goes to it is a big change since nobody will depend on you if you are new. But that is fine, it takes som time to get recognised in a new work environment. If you are skilled it will change in 2-3 months.
Cool article.

While I have been using GPT-3 via OpenAI’s APIs for about a half a year and I very much also appreciate using GitHub’s CoPilot because it saves me time, I wish for much more research into hybrid AI systems that are multi paradigm: deep learning, symbolic AI, new types of RL learning, breakthroughs in scaling conventional search, etc., etc.

There is so much work to get to the point where AI systems can effectively do counter factual reasoning, autonomously develop better models of the world, etc.

Symbolic AI as I learned it in the 1980s and deep learning in the last ten years are all great first steps, but we have a long way to go. Assuming parallel work in AI ethics, I don’t think there are any real limits on how much this technology can improve our lives.
That's just the violence toward property and objects
This is very bad and generic advice and it smells of just another a wealth manager advertisement. Junk.

If you have a mortgage and it is below property price rates (most likely), keep it or refinance for lower rates if you can. If you buy with mortgage, don't get over leveraged. Even if the property doesn't lose value, if you fail to pay your mortgage the bank will fire-sell it for lower to recoup their money leaving you in the red. And beware of bills piling up with inflation! Buy the smallest possible you can afford in a recession.

Now for savings. You can't compete with Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, the bots, professionals. But you can take the other side of the bet of very short-sighted investors. Just do plain old and boring Sector Rotation. Pick large and liquid ETFs and REITs. Pick them very diverse.

Look at it from a software perspective: there was a huge vulnerability possible. If it hadn't been exploited by this person, someone else would have.

It was the Bank of England fault for not patching the exploit and creating the vulnerability.
For what it’s worth, I come back to check on my reply after 8 hours to find it has a score of 1. So if there has been any downvotes they have been perfectly balanced out by upvotes.

I’m not a fan on indiscriminate use of petroleum products but I really think people underestimate just how thin a single use bag is. Next time you finish a plastic bottle of milk or juice, weigh the container and see how many single use bags it takes to match that weight.

Single use plastic bags are a problem, but like plastic straws, they’re not even in the top 100 of culprits. People pick on them because they’re easy and because they’re symbolic.
Then you say, "Ivermectin is also used in a veterinarian capacity at concentration levels dangerous to humans."

But the media chose the sensational way of saying it. It was also frequently dismissed entirely as being for horses without reference to concentration levels or what it actually does.

You might find it politically inconvenient to reconcile this with the stance you’ve chosen but the media and your side isn't right just because the other side is wrong.

>Many major pharmacies in the US refused to fill prescriptions

Many doctors also refused to write prescriptions for patients who requested a drug for which there was no reliable evidence. Seems a responsible position when there are other approved treatments available.

>but its safety is not disputable

It's not just a question of safety, but efficacy.

>situation would not have happened if social media, YouTube, and major news outlets didn’t make such a stink about using a drug.

The rabid disinformation and conspiracy theories around COVID played the primary role. From anti-vaccine conspiracies to hydrochloroquine to ivermectin to the full on politicization of what should have been strictly a public health crisis.

There was a deliberate sowing of mistrust in government and public health agencies/officials, which led to a wave of aggressive anti-science sentiment and a somewhat bizarre willingness for many to try anything except approved treatments.

That was the biggest "stink". It's against this backdrop that doctors/pharmacies had to make decisions about whether to grant prescriptions for unproven treatments.
What happens if you bring CO2 to insane temperatures? Will that break C from O2? Could we reuse the stored heat somehow?
I'm in the same boat. Learned Dvorak on a blank keyboard. Even when I was still building muscle memory and typing slow, it was and still is more comfortable than QWERTY.
Because it's an ad.
The worst part of this is that we _know_ how to prevent covid. But the people insisting on their right to use ivermectin were the same people insisting they needed to take zero personal responsibility to prevent themselves from getting covid in the first place.
Big citation needed there.

Spectre mitigations shouldn't effect quite a lot of programs because there's nothing to mitigate within the same address space.
Not really.

Because people were eating ivermectin. Like the other poster says, I know it feels nice to be able to say "this was already happening", but it just wasn't. Not in as many places and covering as many businesses.

Veterinarians generally needed proof of livestock (seeing the animal) but also were just as prone to give you the meds based on your description and assessment as a farmer. Not anymore. You could walk into any farm store and walk out with antibiotics and/or wormer. Not anymore.

And it's because people were eating it. Right, wrong, or indifferent, that's the reason.
From my understanding "slab of glass" refers to the all-screen design. Not the material of the back cover
Somewhat. Depends on what you want to do. Three year ROI can be reasonable. I probably spend about $100-150 per year on garden (and mushroom) stuff, with the higher years being in the beginning or for one time improvements (plus random new seeds to try just for fun). I get about $400-500 worth of produce every year. I try to focus on stuff that limits labor time like weed barrier and raspberries (no weeding, easy to survive, perennial). I also try to focus on expensive stuff like peppers, berries, mushrooms, and hops (for homebrew beer).

I also have an LLC for honey. It's generally low labor (compared to other livestock), but tends to have expensive equipment and replacement costs. It's possible to break even in 3 years on a small scale with cheap equipment.

So it can be productive and a net positive. During the season we can get 50-75% of our fruit and veggies from the garden with the remaining percentage being the desire for varieties I don't grow or can't be grown around here. Plus some canning, freezing, hot sauce, etc for later.. We can also get all the honey we desire, including to make mead, and still make a net profit on the bee operation of $100+ per year (can vary wildly based on the circumstances). I think this is a meaningful amount. Obviously this isn't something that you could scale to turn your 401k into.

Now I do some stuff for fun. This year I'm planning to malt my own wheat and barley that I will grow. Even if grain prices double, that's not going to help me financially since wheat will still be relatively cheap compared to other produce.
