I had a similar experience at a technology company in 2015. Onboarding had no training, no desks, nothing. Thrown into a Cubicle farm, with terrible chairs, and they put my desk right next to the kitchen that had a pool table. So while I’m trying to take calls from clients, there’s people literally playing pool behind me.

Took forever to get a decent office chair, then they started moving us around, a few months go by, and then we had to move to another cubicle. Then another building.

Logins wouldn’t work. Benefits, pay, nothing was up-to-date, and it got even worse when they instituted a clocking in system. People would just clock in, and then clock in all their friends at the same time. It was ridiculous.

I left about the time one of my coworkers had a heart attack and died at his desk.

All that to say, the on boarding sucked, and all of the problems that came after that were compounded upon that very bad on-boarding.
They don’t see it that way.

Dogs are pack animals, they are wired to integrate into the social fabric they find themselves in.

The two species have been co-developing together for 50,000 years, you might not get it, but others do.
Non-diesel vehicles don't pollute much if at all while idling.

If we could get rid of diesel from commercial vehicles air quality would dramatically improve.
Why wouldn't they have KPI's? It doesn't make sense that government has to equal incompetent:

The military is a government agency and while not perfect in a lot of ways, they aren't incompetent.
You don't tell them you're tattling. The average truck is passed by hundreds or thousands of pedestrians per day. How is the driver going to know which one phoned him or her in?
He's not saying it's selfish to not have children, he's saying the decision making process relies on determining the usefulness of a given activity, and kids rarely score high there. In the past it worked differently, I suppose at least partly these things were done because of tradition or because of religious encouragement. In the past they weren't doing it in some way that was significantly less selfish than us, but whatever reason they did it for the system would continue unlike it is today
Don't you just wish you could have hung out with K&R at the time it was written?
I guess my point is that it's possibly/probably an objectively worse way of ingesting information. It's always going to be faster to skim text to find what you need that watching a video on high speed.
Is there a way for them to keep the ice cream frozen with the engine off? Is it a separate system?
To concentrate you don't only need mental space, you need a very physical one too, and it's much more expensive than what you make it to be. Of course they'll externalize this cost when they can, but I don't see it as a good thing.
Outside where I once worked, I got fed up with the ice cream van idling the diesel engine outside my window, so I complained to the local council by email. Why wasn't the driver using the power socket in the lamp post that was there for the purpose?

Ten minutes later, police appeared and arrested the driver.

The council wrote back and said the driver was trading illegally, and had been warned before.

(My colleagues made jokes about this for months.)
That’s how it should work but it seems to have largely gravitated toward, not rewarding memorization exactly, but definitely pattern recognition gained from drilling on a wide arrangement of leetcode style problems, and as much as they say they want to understand your thought process your performance is heavily weighted towards whether or not you arrive at the optimal solution in the time given, not how well you might explain how you might get there even if your code is ultimately lacking due to time constraints.
Oooh, I wish they did this in MA. I could make tons of money just in the pickup line at my kid's school alone. We've got an anti-idling law here in MA, but I don't think I've ever heard of anybody getting a ticket, and most folks aren't even aware of the law.
It's called factor investing and it's a niche for a reason. (It's worth it, but not for everyone).
yucky, for whatever reason your comment is [dead], so I can’t reply to you directly.

> I understand it she has been very vocal in her disdain for the Ukrainian Azov Battalion which our current President seems to be aligned with

I think it’s different, yes. Not because the nazis in Ukraine are good guys, but because they are fighting for a good cause.

I also think it’s dishonest to suggest that Biden or Zelensky are “aligned” with Azov, a group of 500 or so people. They’re just strongly incentivized to tolerate them due to the fact that Azov is currently fighting to defend Ukraine.

Arguably supporting them might be a good way to get rid of nazis, as many of them are likely to die in the progress.

>I'm guessing you think that is different though right?

Azov is helping defend Ukraine.

What excuse could Gabbard have to hang out with the SSNP?
How about automatic idle mitigation systems? Just automate it on truck level. Cost is low and at scale would be very minimal. Also if you are worried about ambient cab temp, you should not be too worried.
Are a lot of these trucks refrigerated? Are they idling simply because the engine is the primary power source that keeps the refrigeration unit running? My most recent Subaru has automatic idle stop/start intended to reduce idling waiting at traffic lights but makes sure cabin AC, battery levels etc aren't compromised.

All possible configurations was the term used. We aren't living impossible configurations of matter in our day to day reality.
I have been really inspired by 'fzf' recently. Wrote a fun little ZFS utility[0] which I intended to just script with 'fzf', but have since found skim[1], or 'sk', and now use it both as my sole fuzzy finder app (because it's supposed to be interactive and it's faster!), and as a library for my little utility.

I like them both for making fun zsh key bindings, so, so easy.

Kernel devs typically do use SMP to refer to multicore. Even Wikipedia says: "In the case of multi-core processors, the SMP architecture applies to the cores, treating them as separate processors."
Takes like that don't help IMO. In a way it was better in the past when people thought life was awful but that's just the way it is, you just do your job and live your life. Ironically, as life has gotten better we think more that suffering isn't inevitable, and if suffering isn't inevitable we should prevent it. Which the easiest way to do that, is to just not have kids.
I think this is a great reminder that if you work with JS to pin your dependencies with a lock file and to have some process to verify packages before blindly updating them.
They still offer superior performance by avoiding bubbles.
Indeed the subtitle of the article: “Some drivers respond with fists.”

For example,

> “I go out thinking I’m going to get assaulted,” said Ernest Welde, 47, an environmental attorney. “I’ve had my bags stolen by truck drivers. I’ve been physically assaulted. I’ve had to call the police a couple of times.”

>Another man, Eric Eisenberg, had a similar experience across town last year. An Amazon driver and two colleagues noticed Mr. Eisenberg pointing his phone’s camera at their idling truck, knocked him to the ground and held him down, according to a lawsuit Mr. Eisenberg filed in January.
To clarify this tech already exists.
> I am utterly shocked it has taken this long for something like this to come around.

Agreed.

The default output of a spreadsheet these days should be an embedded web component. Live graphs, linked to data source, edit and customize.
There isn't much opportunity for learning when you get to face the enemy for just a few seconds, get killed and then have to grind through loading screen and low level enemies to get another try. It's just awful game design.
> Thr meter maids in NYC were brought under the NYPD because they used to be routinely beaten up when they were a civilian agency issuing people tickets. Now I don't condone violence, but this just sounds really risky. A lot of these drivers may be forced to eat some or all of the fine, and when they see some average joe shmo playing tattletale on them, I'd expect an uncomfortably large number of them to get physical. I do not think it's wise of NYC gov. to promote this sort of thing.

We already have a terrible mayor. Even the last mayor said something to the effect of they don't care about people stopping on the bus lane if they are actively loading or unloading. I am sure the new mayor will continue this policy.

Across the river in Jersey City, I've seen even police patrol cars do not care about engine idling laws. These laws probably don't matter if you are in the middle of nowhere in Kansas City but they are absolutely essential in New York City area. We need more enforcement, not less.

If I had to go to court and pay a fine for a guest who put out the trash incorrectly -- no warning, straight a ticket -- I have exactly ZERO sympathy for these engine idlers. They must pay. I'd say while we are at it, make the fines increasingly larger and force these law breakers to go to court and make them waste progressively longer amount of time with the court system every time it happens as well.
No it is not. They are major pollutors, as mostly are older trucks run by local semi-mafioso organizations (I am not kidding. There even have been turf wars over it).
whats the temporary data store?
McFly works on Fish and re-adds your ctrl-R back, except makes it much more powerful: https://github.com/cantino/mcfly
The change that has been studied is a naturally-occurring 32 base pair deletion of the CCR5 gene (see https://www.google.com/search?q=ccr5+delta+32). In the literature, this allele is called CCR5-Δ32, and it modifies the expression of the CCR5 protein by, among other things, eliminating the receptor used by some HIV strains.

He Jiankui intended to use CRISPR to effect CCR5-Δ32, but didn't succeed; instead, his use of CRISPR made other, never-studied-before mutations to the CCR5 gene.

Will those mutations result in a CCR5 protein which confers HIV resistance? Probably, at least to some strains, since as far as we know, the full CCR5 gene is needed for an HIV-compatible receptor on the CCR5 protein.

Will they have other effects? What is their safety profile? These mutations have never been studied before, so no one knows.

See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6813942/#__p275 for more on this.
> Am I just ignorant about non-weapons biolabs here?

Maybe they are working on antidotes to Russian bio weapons.
That's research you don't want the Russians to have, and can't be classified as weapons.

Maybe they're researching bird flu on live animals. Prohibiting the Russians to release them could be a goal.

Honestly, there are plenty of non-weapon explanations. You seem to be looking for a justification.
You guys are getting onboarding? I swear I kind of miss onboarding.

My last two roles as a Senior were “fill out these HR forms, here’s the payroll portal, just sign up. Trust me bro. It’ll work. Ok here’s your laptop. Here’s some tickets. Standups are at time:thirty”.

]no one actually said “bro” that’s just to illustrate the level of confidence it seemed the HR person had in the payroll SaaS: none.

Well, savings have risen exponentially for a century. Maybe it's time for that to stop? I mean think about all the people that would have to be in debt for you to have savings. The economy clearly has too much debt and therefore too much savings.

If this is driven by demographics, e.g. old people saving for retirement while there are no young people willing to provide for them when they are old, then really the problem isn't the fact that the bank doesn't want to lie to you any longer (the bank is currently lying btw), it's the fact that nobody will be there to take care of you.
Exactly. Most people only work one job. You hear stories, they are true, but they are the exception. Or they are about a problem unrelated to poverty. (Child support is a big one, courts are sexist in many cases)
On quite a few cars, parts of the HVAC system (namely the AC compressor and potentially some of the fans) are mechanically linked to the engine with belts, rather than using electricity.
I was hoping they’d mention a Bahtinov mask - it works on the same principle, and is very common even in amateur astrophotography. The Wikipedia article for it has a more in-depth version of how it focuses itself.

But why would someone accept your less-useful crypto when they can accept fully useful crypto instead? Other exchanges will either refuse to accept it (easier) or have to mark it as tainted and set up separate markets that accept those tokens and pay them out.
Hot take: Having false negatives is perfectly fine as long as you’re minimizing false positives.

One of my cats does the same. How does this affect your sleep? I have to turn left/back/right every so often in my sleep, and it disturbs the cat, and then me.
No, I'm wondering if internet gave the idea to some state security agency to cook a mind vacuum by showing bits of potential evidence (1991 agreements, past aggressions, shifting blame) so that people will waste time and energy in sterile debate.

I was reading a series on a .ru sites about history of russian computing, whose author claimed a lot of faults with the soviet system that caused a their demise. But in the comments a few russians (or bots ... I don't know anything anymore at that point) were quick to point at that, the author analysis was fragile, giving him other data points about missing events, or developments.

All to say that even when you try to document yourself.. you never know the whole story. Unless maybe you start an absolute quest of truth to cross all data points. And even then, data can still be wrong (people might forget to record stuff, or deliberately ignore some).
are people still using capistrano? wow

There has to be some way to make Amazon.com pay for the actions of people who are working for them even if they are technically a separate LLC. The situation won't improve unless the CXO and the board at Amazon.com not some mid level or low level manager, not some contractor goes to prison for these things.
It's a bit of a tangent, but I think if you're after an example of Marianne Faithfull's later-career "smoky, commanding voice" you could do worse than the 2002 Beck collaboration, Sex With Strangers, from Kissin' Time:

And for an example of where she's willing to push it, her fearless version of Roger Waters' Incarceration Of A Flower Child, from the earlier Vagabond Ways:

It was good. It did the job. The notion that Hans Zimmer is one of a handful of people that could score this much less anything is kind of ridiculous. I also disagree it sounded out of this world, it was comfortable though because it was obviously Zimmer.
Or maybe they do actually stop being democracies before the bad stuff happens? Care to share an example?

Literally all of the countries that have had continuous constitutions + liberal human rights (that is a long running government that hasn't violated its citizens rights) are democracies right now.
Unfortunately I think this is a rather naive idealistic view. Software doesn’t exist in a vacuum, it very much exists in the middle of everything in the real world.

Stuxnet is malware, sure. But what about the software Iranians were using to develop nuclear weapons? Surely that must be even worse?
> Here's a situation: you're in a conference room with about a dozen other new people. You're handed a touch bar Macbook Pro in a backpack. It's the first such model you've ever used, and you're discovering that your natural typing position overhangs the top row of numbers, and is triggering the "meta" functions which typically live there: brightness up/down, volume up/down, and whatever else might be there from the context of the program you're in.

As much as I hate the touchbar, I've never had this problem. My hands sit on the home row, and my fingers rarely hit anything higher than the midsection of the number keys. I'm genuinely curious as to what natural hand position results in accidentally hitting the touchbar / function keys.
I found the same. I once computed a high-order (something like 100) low-pass Butterworth using SOS sections as a test and did not notice any instability in the filtered signal. The key was to directly derive the SOS coefficients using bilinear transformation.
Using typing in Python is a code smell. Lack of understanding of what the language is for and how to use it.
A gasoline- or propane-powered auxiliary power unit (i.e. generator) would be a much better power source for that than the truck's diesel engine.
The trekking back to bosses in games that aren’t Sekiro or Elden Ring is totally valid. But in terms of the overall difficulty, I think it’s more a case of something closer to user error than the game actually being ridiculously difficult. This is a common thing and it bums me out because the difficulty aspect of these games is severely overhyped, partially because people try them out without fully understanding the mechanics, and then are turned off from them. Same thing happened to me and I’m so thankful that someone set me straight.

The number one thing is this: you cannot interrupt yourself once you begin an action. Neither can your enemy. An attack is a commitment of the entire animation associated with it. This one single thing affects everything else.

Also: rolling! You are very briefly untouchable while rolling.

Time your rolls and your attacks with intention, and the difficulty drops drastically. The game’s are still tough and unforgiving, but in a good way.

Hope you end up revisiting and enjoying the games. I’m historically not a fan of “hard” games and these have quickly become my favorite, gameplay being just as big a reason as atmosphere and lore.
I was hoping this was going to be about how cats affect quality of human sleep (for selfish reasons)

Indeed. Only electric vehicles and hybrids, some with electric vs belt driven compressors, others with electric driven heat pumps, can run HVAC without the need for an engine running.
> But losing a billion IQ points might be less bad than losing 10M IQ points, because there is literally no scale.

Maybe there is a bigger point I don't understand here (wouldn't that be ironic) but I only have about a hundred IQ points to play with and so does the average person (by definition?) so a billion IQ points is all the IQ points for ten million "average" people.

What am I missing?

I work in steel fabrication / construction, the idea of 'engines off inside' hasn't caught on in Tasmania in the industry.

When I was in Adelaide circa ten to fifteen years ago I recall the local food and beverage manufacturers all had signs to the effect 'strictly engines off inside'.

Nothing worse than a workshop full of diesel soot, though the exhaust urea fluid (AdBlue) in the newer trucks does give it a distinctively more breathable aroma, so there's that.

Very annoying.

Pedantically, mining nodes are a subset of all nodes.

Of course miners will know whether transaction involve a sanctioned entity. These wallets will be listed. Mining nodes in the US will not be allowed to put UTXOs that originate from those wallets in new blocks.

I made the mistake last year of falling in love with xs-shell https://github.com/TieDyedDevil/XS, talking to its maintainer (who recently put xs out to pasture, as it were) who is now moving all his stuff to es-shell, switching my romance to es-shell https://wryun.github.io/es-shell/, merging in 2 forks of it to my own version https://github.com/pmarreck/es-shell/ aaaand having a kid and basically running out of time.

This shell makes a ton more sense to my brain than the usual bash/zsh/fish rigmarole, it just needs some love. It's older, but basically much smarter.

The last thing I was working on was a way to capture all of stdout, stderr and return code from a single run of a command, for testing purposes, because the OTHER thing es-shell desperately needs is a proper test suite, and being able to assert on all/any of those side-effects (and the return value) is IMHO fundamental to a proper suite. I figured one out for bash https://github.com/pmarreck/tinytestlib but not one for es yet.

Sorry for hijacking your comment
The usage of dynamic typing gets rid of a lot of boiler plate code and over complicated designs. Python code that doesn't use typing is generally better than Python code that does.
Well, the gold standard and any currency modeled after it, e.g. fiat is just a gold standard that can be mined infinitely, it's still expensive permanent money. You have these forced contracts that demand permanence in a world without permanence. It's a ponzi scheme because people age and die but gold doesn't.

Imagine running a ledger, you are owed 50 years of work by person A. Person A dies. You are still owed 50 years by the rest of society. Society just lost 50 years of work because person A died so the rest of society must work harder to honor your ledger. That's where the ponzi scheme originates from. The idea that you are owed something that is no longer in this world.

A gold standard is a ponzi scheme and since modern day fiat is just a stretched gold standard it is a ponzi scheme too.
