> I was really worried that I wasn't producing like I should at my seniority. This has since gone away though.

Absolutely had this in my new role, I'm about to hit a year on and have an excellent performance review which has since assuaged my concerns of imposter syndrome or having lost my touch after spending two years in a public-sector hellhole. Went from "Star QB" in an MS shop to "Holy Shit WTF is this Kubernetes shit even doing and how do I get my job done." Stressed as I may have been, it was temporal and I've gotten good lessons from it.

If I have any takeaways from this past year:

For Managers:

Add in some amount of check-in one-on-ones to keep folks aware of their performance and standing. As good a manager as my supervisor is, ours were oriented towards ensuring I was happy with the role and not wanting to leave quickly and waste the 30K recruiter fee. For that matter, I'm not one[0] to go seek validation from others and especially not when they're already over burdened with "real" meetings.

For Engineers:

Even if you're not "Senior" in terms of $TECHNOLOGY, you're (hopefully) Senior in terms of your soft-skills. If you're left scratching your head wondering "how the fuck do I get this deployed" or "what the fuck is the development cycle" or "why the fuck is there an 11 step baby-sitting process for the local development workflow" - these are opportunities to add in documentation, scripts, or process changes to the firm. If you've done your shopping right, they're probably amenable to these changes.

Personally, I scripted our local Docker Compose development workflow such that one has a clean-slate environment with one script, and can build and patch any project's Docker image / Docker Compose service with one script as well. Somehow we lacked this, but everyone had their cotdamn minds blown when I put that out there for feedback - and here I was thinking it was some silly scripts they'd likely turn their nose up at.

It's worse than this. While money does not flow from Mozilla Foundation to Mozilla Corporation, the opposite is not true. A lot of the money that Mozilla Corporation manages to make is not spent on Firefox development, but is instead paid to Mozilla Foundation, ostensibly to license the Mozilla brand. The Foundation is actively holding Firefox back with this organizational scheme.

> For 2019, the Mozilla Foundation received $15,858,258 per a trademark license agreement with Mozilla Corporation, allowing us to reinvest earnings from our products into advocacy and grant making that grow the internet health movement.

Yeah, there are some intricacies as I said, didn't want to turn this into a long-form essay (because that's what you need to describe anything formalised in Germany). Lidl doesn't participate in the bottle sharing initiative as far as I know for example; differently-shaped, one-way bottles are definitely a thing; and sometimes, there are deposit machines that for some reason don't accept a local brewery, although they should.

But all in all, this system definitely ensures at least a big part of German bottles are actually reused multiple times.
User Space TCP? (2020)
I was in several long-time Yahoo! Groups when they shut down. All the groups moved to groups.io quite successfully and continue to thrive there. I have moderator privileges in one small group but hardly ever have to use them.
My Dad was a police officer and I moved around a lot as a kid, so I had more than a decade of experience being the new kid before I graduated high school. I figured out some things and still use them when I’m new in organizations.

1.) Learn names.

2.) Avoid tribes at first. It’s tempting to latch onto the first group that welcomes you, but try to avoid this. For at least the first few weeks, focus on developing superficial relationships with lots of people over deep relationships with few.

3.) Find the cool. Starting something new often triggers something like mourning. Give yourself space to mourn the old, but force yourself space to find extremely cool things in the new place. You’re closing one door and opening another. Hunt the cool! It’s easier to do this if you form lots of relationships early on.

4.) Everyone is shy.

5.) I got to know two types of cops’ kids:

- “The place I lived two moves ago was the best.”

- “Whatever town I live in now is the best.”

Guess who had an easier time making friends.

6.) DIY. Your new town might suck and the place you lived last move may have actually been the best town on earth. It got that way because people had ideas and did it themselves. You got the idea from someone else so 5% of the hard work is already done…:)

7.) Once you’ve been the new person, your most important task is to always help new people.
Agreed, especially when preceded by "apropos".
>>Where that breaks down is when that turns into, "This is why you shouldn't be allowed to get your medical advice from Joe Rogan." People make unwise choices all the time, and when we try to prevent them from doing so coercively, we fall into a pit of unintended consequences.

Depends on the coercion.

Taking action against false advertising of medical benefits is and should be under the purview of qualified government agencies, and should be a private cause of action.

E.g., the FDA and FTC have jurisdiction over false claims in drug and food advertising [0-2]. This is an unqualified good thing. It would be a large net benefit to society if these are also extended beyond specific paid-for standard-format advertising claims but also persistent promotion of false and unsubstantiated claims by jucksters like Joe Rogan, whether or not it is the result of direct paid promotion or just as part of his self-promoting schtick to increase it popularity with contrary opinions, and without regard to the number of people he will literally kill with his bad advice.

If you want the libertarian version, then when Jack's relative takes bad advice from adverts or some on-air huckster, then he has a cause of action to sue (and of course must establish that the relative relied on that advice and died from following the advised course of action, and that Jack has suffered losses).

Yes, countering disinformation is a thorny problem, but resorting to First Amendment absolutism is intellectually lazy at best. It feels like having a nice solid black&white answer, but it is not, since the result of the answer is the destruction of society. Bigger challenges and higher complexity society require more complex answers (and NO, simple censorship isn't the answer either).

I have friends who grow large quantities of potatoes and veggies in general. They really do drastically reduce their food bills.

I have more modest ambitions. I like to grow lots of sprouts and fresh herbs for cooking. No real calories but makes simple meals made without processed foods (e.g., with brown rice, beans, homemade pasta, tiny amounts of animal protein, etc.) much tastier.

I'm working on it, but part of the motivation for the question is wanting to find people to get ideas / guidance / friendship from who are more interesting than myself.

Kind of an “If you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room.” vibe.

It is non-practical, has no application in reality, and the direct consequence of using such a tool is massive security problems being disclosed every year.

> Doesn't solve the problems X.509 addresses.

What problem does X.509 address? Not only is it needlessly centralized, but your connection can be intercepted as long as one single CA anywhere is compromised. The "solution" to this is to log what certs each client got, reducing their privacy because this would allow us to detect when an attack happened, after it already happened (followed by a barrage of petty arguments like "w-well, it would disincentivize an attacker"). Also, a domain name that sounds kind of like the company you want to connect to is not proof that you have the right domain name. You still have to ask them for the right domain name, at which point you may as well have just received their public key. The alternative is to do this dog shit thing you guys keep doing where you complain about Google search not being regulated enough and enact more ad-hoc laws many of which backfire. Imagine search engines having to do work to find the "real" domain for some company. This is 10th level stupidity, we could not have got here without several other generations of stupidity becoming normalized prior.

apropos first then man second.
That's not my point. My point is don't dismiss all alternative views just because someone told you to. Consider a range of views and make your own informed decisions. This should not be about being on teams, but acting like adults.

The 'misinformation' label has made it really easy to just ignore a range of views through not wanting to be in 'that group.'

> But that is true because most of the time, the dissenting voices are wrong, if not outright lunatics

That's an incredibly broad generalisation, you're going to have to back that up with evidence. Does that also include those over-enthusiastically pushing the 'right' science that is in fact later proved wrong? Or are they not lunatics, just 'the science changed' on them?
Totally. All you can do is soak up internal documentation and map prior knowledge to your current situation.

On the other hand, that new perspective can have value. Sometimes things are the way they are for a reason, other times it's path dependent, other times it's inertia.

Taking notes with your "new eyes" and thinking about how to improve things can help. But don't share until you've had some successes and built some credibility.

The trick is to give the bottle a vigorous single shake before opening it, so the air is at the end away from the nozzle. Then there's no splattering.
Just do it, OS upgrades are pretty stable these days, and you’re unlikely to be missing any features. Though probably I’d upgrade to 20.04 now (or two-ish years ago), and then wait a while until 22.04 gets more stable. (And of course, make backups first, and do it on a Saturday/a day on which a broken computer will not cause too much hassle.)

While this may be true, it is entirely the fault of the dumb UK mortgage market that does not provide for fixed-rate mortgages for the full term of the loan. In the US, 30 year fixed rates are the norm. In the UK you’re lucky to get 5 years fixed.

I believe indexes protect me from my own lack of knowledge on market operations and analysis. I have a couple of investments in indexed funds and of course I do not expect them to be resilient to bubbles or crashes.

If what the FA says was true everyone would be doing this "value investing". It's about how you balance risk vs benefits.
Am I crazy to think that a tool like this is an accident waiting to happen?

I'm assuming that this tool is for people who aren't familiar with the system enough to get what they need from the man pages and would rather not invest the time to become deeper on it.

There were substantial numbers of substantive articles about ivermectin, human trials, potential and cautions, etc. For a good example, here's NPR discussing it with an even tone that doesn't match your assertions at all: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/09/19/1038369...

Or here's the NYT using pretty clear wording like "forms of the drug meant for horses": https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/30/health/covid-ivermectin-p...

There were also some less serious outlets discussing the fact that people were self-prescribing by going to veterinary sources without much context to them. These ones, due to the somewhat funny nature of the concept, tended to go more viral. Doesn't mean the more substantive articles didn't exist.

I use a keyboard similar to yours (Sofle V2) and I've found I don't really have a problem switching between them. I pretty regularly can type on both it, and my normal macbook keyboard without much thought given to it. Only occasionally do I feel myself trying to reach for a thumb button that isn't there and for the most part I can handle window switching fine. The switch from Mac to Windows which I do once a day is more frustrating as suddenly my copy paste key is one over from where it was.

However that switching is the reason I remain on qwerty, because I think at that point I'd find switching hard.
You just described self-censorship and groupthink. You also described certain aspects of workplace psychopathy (especially the psychopatic entry and assessment part).

Groupthink is when people, seeking validation from a group and to preserve harmony and cohesion, withhold their opinions causing the group to make suboptimal decisions.

If you think you will have to do this, don't join the company. Groupthink means the company doesn't foster psychological safety, which is the top predictor of team performance.

This is not only bad advice, it's probably unethical too. You are expected to work in the best interest of the company, and the company is expected to not punish people for speaking up about their ideas.

What you described works if you want to advance yourself at the expense of the company, but again, it is not ethical.

You are just exploiting information asymmetry, and anyone that likes doing that in a good faith organization should be let go. Highly political people are a waste of time.
Which kind? 'Hypersonic' is a speed regime, not a technology in itself.

Hypersonic cruise missiles are not in the purview of ballistic missile defense, unless they have a ballistic stage, in which case they might be. Hypersonic boost-glide vehicles, having a ballistic boost-stage, are countered by some forms of ballistic missile defense, but not all.

Ballistic missile defense is a defense against ballistic missiles. Not torpedoes, cruise missiles, artillery shells, nukes smuggled in shipping containers, frogmen going up a river with a SDV, or anything else. Pretty much just ballistic missiles, or at least weapons with a ballistic boost stage.
So many people invested in regeneron and the like that that wasn't exactly a one sided calculation. Plenty of vested, veiled interests in PR.
It's not an unlocked door situation and it wasn't illegal. It's more akin to you betting on the wrong horse and being mad at the other guy who bet on the right one for losing your money when it's your fault for gambling instead of doing something else.
> Try to keep a smile on your face. Avoid dark humour or joke-complaining.

Such good advice. At your old company you were a known quantity so if you made a dark joke or whatnot, you got a pass: "oh, Dan is just in a crabby mood today".

At a new company you don't have that store of social capital. You're building it day by day.
L4 and L5 are stable when the smaller mass is less than about 0.0385 times the larger mass [1]. This means e.g. a typical binary star system would not have stable L4/L5 points. The reference [1] works through this in careful detail and is an excellent reference on this topic.

I think jiggawatts came up with a reasonable overall summary on Ivermectic's known effectiveness with the information we have available.

What I think is baffling is why there was such resistance to even trying Ivermectin and other alternatives in the first place? I'm not talking about after Joe Rogan used it here, I'm talking about well before he said he used it and there were some initial reports from some Indian and other doctors that this might have been very effective in their initial usage. Sick and dying people wanted to try this out and were shut down. If we had an inexpensive and marginally effective treatment, Covid would have been over very quickly. Yet, every initial inexpensive treatment (Hydroxychloroquine) that showed some initial effectiveness was given the stiffest resistance possible.

It's the easiest risk management decision in the world to try out inexpensive (and safe in human dosage) drugs when the alternative is death, and for some reason there was supreme resistance to this. Why? It still feels like potential solutions were totally shut down precisely because nobody could really make any money off of it.

Encoding a key is trivial, even with an ad-hoc serialization format. Nothing near what X.509 does.
All completely true. The average investor should probably be using a financial advisor.

One of the biggest reasons that most of these funds work is the volume of people in the US with 401k plans that have fund-only options. Every pay period the stocks in these funds get automatically purchased without many decisions involved so you're going to continue seeing them steadily and safely increase.

Ultimately, investing boils down to finding something where you're comfortable. 401k investing makes people comfortable because of all the pre-tax benefits. Even if you make bad picks, you're still making the percentage of income tax every single time.

A lot of people invest directly in real estate or franchise businesses. Others in big, safe, dividend payers. Some people buy timber land.

IMO it's just going to be comfort level and experience.

I second the Magicforce! Linear switches (Red or Black) are probably best for it, but it's a nice balance of cheap, sturdy-enough, portable-enough and compact-enough.

It has little in the way of layout customization (3 position DIP switch on the back of mine), but that's just fine for a first board. It also has a mostly-standard layout, so if you wanted to get aftermarket keycaps, you don't need to sweat too much about compatibility or odd sizes.
One thing missing from the analysis is that many index funds pay dividends. So even if your country is having a rough decade, fund holders are getting paid the whole time. Additionally index funds are tax efficient with low management costs so that has to be considered when comparing to individual stocks as well.

More saliently, (1) it’s hard to identify value stocks and (2) the time frames he was looking at are not that long. I feel fairly confident that markets will be way up in 50 years if for no reason other than technological progress

>tired of people attacking Joe Rogan. He's a pod caster.

Rogan has millions of listeners who take advice from him and shape their worldviews around his. For many people he is more authoritative on health than public health officials like Fauci, even while not having a fraction of the experience or expertise.

There's been no shortage of criticism of Fauci and others, to include character attacks, conspiracy theories and death threats.
