I'm the author, and if you look at my profile (https://github.com/autarch) you'll see that it links to a bunch of repos. In fact, one of the main reasons I wrote this profile generator was because I wanted an automated process that would always show people the most relevant repos.

> Courage of convictions is an ideal to impose on yourself. You don't get to impose it on anybody else.

With due respect, I politely disagree. One may call out anyone for meeting or failing the courage of their convictions.
Giving people Fentanyl for pain management is almost as bad as bloodletting to cure a respiratory illness. It's a very dangerous substance, even in moderation. It needs to go the way of leaded gasoline for the sake of public safety.

The issue is not just overdoses. It's long term physical and psychological dependencies that drive people there to begin with. A lot of addicts become addicted through prescriptions, and then they doctor shop. And in some cases it has even come out that doctors received kickbacks from the pharma companies.

I'm 100% in favor of banning synthetic heroin pills. They shouldn't exist.
I had a john explain ethics to me when I was a 16 year old prostitute. Ethics is doing the right thing with information, whereas morality is doing what you're told. Like, killing a baby is morally wrong, but if you had a time machine it might be ethical to go back and shoot baby Hitler (terrible example). He ended up coming to my rescue when I was arrested a year or two later, and I got off with no record after breaking into an abandoned historical building, which is a whole other story. He died not long after in what appeared to be suicide. But that explanation has had an impact on me, I don't think I'm a moral person, I'm an ethical person. I take what information I have, for instance, King Kong Theory, and apply it to the choices I make in life.
The basic explanation is that they sell it for what the target market will pay. You will not pay the price they sell it for but you are not the target market.

And you can bet they looked at what the result would be if they sold it for less. They’d probably sell more, but ultimately profit less.
How does that work when the demographic is extremely economically disadvantaged and has no way to earn starting capital?
Fuck. Cancer and dying are fucking scary.

On the other hand why should we take away ourselves in the end, on the other hand if they are dying anyways, it's easier on drugs.

I just hope that this doesn't turn death less meaningful.

Noted, thank you much.
If companies were employee owned and operated you wouldn't need half the regulations and laws on the books that we do now. They would have been better served by creating more rights for all workers instead of this odd-ball stuff that ends up getting struck down and handing more power to corporate shadow characters.
> spacing between gene expression sites is a control on which genes get expressed under which conditions

This makes it sound like it represents control flow rather than data. If its presence does / can make a material difference on the output encoding, it strikes my non-expert ears as actively perilous to label such DNA 'junk'
Would concur. I went thru all my old optical discs in ~2020 and moved all backups to 100GB Bluray. Went from dozens of discs to about three. Then I destroyed most of the old ones. (Didn't bother with some... does anyone need a copy of Netware 3.x or 4.x anymore? Even though it was so cool at the time.)

All my CDs/DVDs burned from about '97 onwards were in perfect condition. I think one deteriorated, stuff I didn't care about given to me. I never bought super-cheap ones, maybe that helped.

I did save a few "mix tape" discs from the era for nostalgia purposes. Imagine 15 of the best songs from different artists on ONE disc! It was a big kick to make your own CDs at the time... would blow people's minds, when you showed them. :-D
I'm extremely relieved common sense has prevailed here.
My 10 yr old daughter’s violin performance of the Elgar Salut d’Amour, same. The issue now, a few years later is that pre screen auditions for some competitions must be uploaded to YouTube.

Ha, they might as well call it high yield DNA as in other nomenclature.
In theory yes, but when you look at the average Rust program, those mechanisms are avoided in favor of more idiomatic approaches.
Yes, but it should still be accounted for in their answer. I read someone saying “Snowden isn’t courageous enough” and I think that this person does not have enough information and intimate knowledge to make such a statement. Not everybody needs to be a superhero on every issue.

Many of the Doom sound effects were sourced from the "Sound Ideas' General series sound effects library".
In my experience, it seems to take a company about 1-1.5 years to fire someone that's well intended but ineffective in their role. 15 or so "wasted" person-hours up front is well worth avoiding thousands of wasted person-hours, especially considering maybe 1 in 5 candidates that make it to a full interview are a good fit.
Until you need funding and find out you don’t fit the profile of a successful founder.
Thank you :)

Yeah, I didn’t realize at the time that up-to-date emoji support wasn’t universal, even on the latest OS versions. The “extra” emoji are a result of your system not yet supporting some of the symbols used.

I chose emoji more carefully in my next game, a demo of the excellent interactive fiction game Counterfeit Monkey originally by Emily Short:

Yes, I want more from Snowden. I know I am not entitled to more, but I still want it.

>So many mental issues are cognitive. It’s not always happening at the chemical level.

As a biochemist with a passion for neuroscience, I entirely 100% do not agree

The statement doesn't even make sense to me. All cognition is based on the dynamics happening at the biochemical level. All of it is chemical

All of our thoughts and behaviors are the product of chemical reactions and interactions which determine the behavior of individual neurons and their networks. You literally cannot separate those things.

Exactly. Many of these interviews it only takes one person to feel 'eh' or negative on the person to tank the candidate, so the more people you interview that person, the more likely you're going to have that impression on one of those people (especially if it's an all day series of interviews, you'll probably start to get mentally exhausted near the end of it), and the more likely any given candidate will be rejected.
Recklessness in men, is, by its very nature, sexy[0]. Whether toxoplasma became genetically lucky (i.e., trait that is immediately genetically stable after a few mutations) or if evolutionary pressure created this effect (i.e., many generations where this trait grows over time) may be impossible to ever know.

Edit:
Downvotes, again? Added a reference. A scientific claim about evolutionary psychology can have merit even if it doesn't fit your personal hopes for the human race. Furthermore, in what world do the downvoters live where women are more likely to causally sleep with the cautious inconspicuous male vs the reckless bad-boy.

Thanks! Very helpful
Better to start with the problem than the most abstract formulation of its solution-- which only makes sense after successive encounters with ever more complex problems.

Simply, of course, we can begin with why it should be that data structures have operations in common -- rather than, say, having each their own specific versions.
Yep. Everything is roses and you can be a fierce supporter of the current system when you're healthy. Then you get sick and suddenly you run to GoFundMe because they're hitting you for ten grand and most don't have it.

I've been thinking about doing a similar project and was going to have it tunnel through another server with frp or rathole which would make it very easy to expose to the Internet and also cut off a whole family of vulnerabilities. Now I wonder if that would be considered 'cheating' :-)

The only slightly lower numbers for support within the country (73 percent) for the U.S.'s (none too dissimilar) invasion of Iraq in 2003 (as posted by another commenter) are actually quite important, for context.

Given that the NYT was perhaps the most notable of journalistic cheerleaders for that debacle -- a shameful episode in its history that it now "regrets" -- their failure to mention this context should not be surprising.
There has never before been any substantial exposure to the wavelengths used for 5G, so there is exactly zero epidemiological data to consult.

We don't know what will happen, but we will find out, in time. Previous generations seem to have turned out OK. All we can be certain of is that, if anyone is harmed, no one will go to jail for it. Like the people putting lead in gasoline and paint, no one involved will have their retirement even slightly inconvenienced. (Unless, of course, they are personally harmed by it.)

Do I think harm is likely? I have no information to form an opinion from, so I would be guessing, just like everybody who insists it is all just fine. What I do know is that everyone who insists they know is lying.
Food in UK is cheaper than in USA.

Please do not use psychedelics of any sort if you are suffering from depression without the oversight of a medical professional such as a psychiatrist or psychologist

The only teacher I'll give props to is the robotics club teacher, he was heavily involved, stayed late, but outside of him, that bell rang and it was a ghost town 20 minutes later.
About a month ago I went trough all my CD/DVDs. Factory disks were all good. But burned disks, especially the later cheaper ones mostly were either in bad condition, or not even recognized as media.

How the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Works
> Compare the rare side effects of psychedelics

I don't know if we have enough scientific data to say how rare they are. My anecdotal experience (including my own as an individual afflicted by HPPD) makes me believe they are not as rare as is often suggested.
You’ve already identified several ways to improve this. You don’t want to waste the devs’ time so you screen with low tech questions, which are also the only ones the HM is qualified to ask.

(Also, nothing is as expensive to a dev as a manager with too much free time. Spending a little on HR may be a QoL improvement even if we never hire)

I am also exceptionally fond of being a silent party in an interview.

Nobody wants to walk into a room with four people who are all asking questions, but I can learn a lot about people just by watching their interactions. Indeed I learn more about secondary characteristics than the interviewer because they’re wrapped up in the answer, not side comments the candidate makes about development philosophy.

Additionally, it takes less investment in an interview to ride shotgun like this. So jumping from 1 to 2 is not twice as expensive, and it protects you from hiring decisions being made with only one employee having been privy to the conversation. Especially with all of the EEO concerns that come from he said she said situations like this.

Three is the most I would put in a room, and only if two are asking questions and the third only answers them.

But you can still easily get seven people in front of the candidate with only 3 sessions in this way.
i don't think it's a stupid question and not sure why you getting downvoted. the earlier blog post from tailscale goes into more detail about how the system in question works: https://tailscale.com/blog/an-unlikely-database-migration/

> Tailscale’s coordination server, our “control plane”, has become known as CONTROL. It’s currently a single Go process on a single VM.

if they had used postgres/mysql or some other external RDBMS then that would have meant managing a whole other set of dependencies and doing at least an IPC/Pipe roundtrip for every single query instead of being able to use an embedded database like custom-built JSON db or SQLite which is only going to need in-process syscalls for reading/writing to disk/cache.

so, this allows them to scale their queries vertically orders of magnitude more than an external db (SQLite can do an insane amount of simple read queries per second) as well as making their whole dev/test/release cycle simpler and easier to manage.

that's my understanding anyway - hopefully it makes some sense.
I've got office 365 on linux. Legally. It is buggy and slow.
I don't mean to be rude but that just doesn't compute at all. I've worked with a lot of devs (both at FAANG and outside) that I'd consider some of the best in the world. And absolutely none of them ever "wanted to hustle a few extra hours to make some play money". They all made ridiculous money hand over foot and highly valued their free time.

It may be more likely you've hit a local maxima in your hiring system and attract the same type. It's great that this system works for you to hire people that you're looking for, but this definitely would not fly for devs with any semblance of an option.

The obstacle that wasn't overcome in this case was the lack of MS Office and the unfamiliarity of Open/Libre Office, if I remember correctly. Personally I can't stand office suites, so I don't really see how this could be such a big deal, but "actually this kind of software is just destined to suck" is not very compelling.
Yep! Good catch.
I follow Andrew Sullivan generally, and read this article yesterday. Even so, I completely agree this has no place here.
Kicked my alcoholism and depression almost 3 years ago on accident with a recreational mushroom trip on holiday. Still doing great in both regards.

Two short bits of information. First dont screw around wit this. Set and setting. Understand what will happen and better get an experienced trip sitter you trust. Give at least The Psychedelic Explorer's Guide a read.

And while my urge to drink is still completely gone you have to do some work when it comes to depression. From personal experience i can say it works on multiple layers. There is

* Giving you a short term point of reference you can later aim for (experiencing how not being depressed looks like)

* Making changes to your entrenched thought patterns more easy in the short term

* Allowing for more self reflection (i later learned the cognitive behavioral therapy aims at something similar)

First point also got me to look into meditation. Eckhard Tolles Power of Now describes the same experience through meditation. In the end its no surprise that Timothy Leary found the Tibetan Book of the Dead a great trip sitting manual. See Sam Harris Waking up for a rational explanation.

edit: After talking with a few people who had bad trips my personal pet theory is that your likelihood drastically increases if you are overly attached to your own perspective. To the degree that you cant really imagine that your perspective on reality could be wrong. Not that this is safe otherwise, but be very very careful if that describes you. You are the kind of personal for whom anything on the spectrum to ego death might be very unpleasant.
A lot of these projects require the rare resources of people willing to do the work for free.

HaikuOS is a hobby project, it doesn’t have the industry relevance to be serious enough for a solid release.

Gnu Hurd’s only benefit is having a micro kernel. Minix, QNX, and possibly other actively developers OS’s have that market. It hasn’t been updated in 6 years and will fade. There’s already Linux anyway.
I'm really skeptical of these claims, but I hear them repeated often. Not that your description is wrong, but the assumed explanation of why.

I suspect many people are in this category and people just have a bad classification for 'normal'.
Yes, that's why the OP study was done. Toxoplasma has long been theorized to be a factor in "cat lady" stereotypical behavior.
I guess that it can be boring and that is especially relevant to the way that it is served through schooling. The thing is that it's still important, so if there is a way to make it more fun i 'm interested.
And i'm not comparing here with other disciplines, i'm into stem too.
That screams "supply chain attack risk".

You find someone to pollute the "global decoder table" and you can introduce all sorts of fun problems, many of which turn into "I can't replicate it here (because I cached a working decoder, or the malicious decoder is only shipped to specific clients)"

TBH, I don't think we want external entity injection and Turing-complete languages in our image formats.

You also create a bunch of permanent assumptions in any of the encoders. Today, the "image data" it expects to return might be, say, an uncompressed 48-bit RGBA bitmap. What if the next generation of image formats can do more or different? Say, volumetric image formats for VR or holographic systems? You'd need a way to signal what you're getting in the metadata, which would then have to be open-ended enough to satisfy future needs, AND reliably enforced. (I'm imagining decoders that don't bother explicitly specifying all the return format properties, because in CURRENT_YEAR, only one type made sense).
Yea well for business users of Windows in the enterprise it’s very attractive to have a service and support contract with them.

On the other hand if ReactOS and or wine try to do the same thing then we could see some shift but I don’t think it is likely.
