Set terms yes, bu the terms are very unreasonable, impractical and paradoxal, they imply unnecessary suffering that actually degrades work performance, the very thing good managers want to keep up. Sacrificing performance for control is the signature of bad management and a bad employer.
Wifi6 adds QAM1024 as a modulation, so under excellent condition its downlink will be faster.

Many of the changes aim at high density environments, such as trade fairs and conference centers. Once the majority of devices are upgraded, these situations will be handled much more effectively.

Lastly, OFDMA is capable of significantly lowering latency if all devices in a network support it.

If you are using Wifi6 at home with few devices connected, do not expect noticeable improvements.
NPs are doing independent practice in some states and are charging MD rates. The issue isn't the number of doctors, it's the cost for average Joe to get treated without being charged three days of wages for a 7 minute consult.
You know your employers benefits of you too, right? That's why they employ you. They don't give you charity or hire you of the good of their heart. They hire you because you bring them more value than you cost.

So I don't get this subservient attitude you have to employment. This should really be a two way street.

There was no “no adjacency” rule in the official board game. This jumped out at me when I read the article; it is a significant change.

Also, the board game had a different ship length distribution; the board game is biased towards fewer, longer ships:

1x Len 5

1x Len 4

2x Len 3

1x Len 2

The length one ships in the article are weird, especially with the no adjacency rule they quickly rule out large sections of the board.
> People need to abandon this silly crusade to insist that "5ghz band" does not have an 802.11 designator, as if it is a feature with no name or something.

The problem, which you're ignoring, is that there are multiple 802.11 standards for operating in the 5GHz band. Treating the oldest and slowest among them as if it's synonymous with all 5GHz WiFi is just plain wrong, because the successive standards for 5GHz WiFi have meaningful improvements in capability.
Will I need a second mortgage to get the stand?
Probably not a rule, but maybe more like a liability thing? If people listen to your music while driving, you don’t want them to freak out from the sound effects and then sue you because they got in a car accident.
If this "save a backup file" functionality was built into the OS, instead of having to be redone by every application, this probably would never have happened – it is much harder to do the wrong thing when you are just calling an OS API than when you have to implement it all yourself. And if the OS API is implemented wrong, you can just change the OS API, instead of having to change every application.

I like how Vim uses swap files to warn you if you are editing a file you already have opened (or have autosaved data from a previous crashed execution) – but it only works for Vim, if you open the file in another editor you don't get the warning. If that functionality was in the OS instead, it could easily work cross-application.
Counterpoint: I wrote my Master Thesis on Value Networks in 2004. While I got a perfect grade on it it was largely unnoticed. Now with Social+ and Crypto getting together, it becomes really useful for my work almost two decades later. So I am saying, give it time.

> a license is preferable to a public domain dedication

Who says that and why? Why should I care about the complicated terms of a license - especially when such a license expresses essentially the same as "public domain"?

Or in other words: is there any real rationale behind the above statement?
It's actually the opposite. You always build for yourself or someone comes to you and you build a product for him. Because that shows a real need.

That's also how it worked for my product I'm very successful with (I built it for myself).

If you try to think what other people would use and build a product around that you will most likely fail.
> There were 4 major publications including Forbes (unexpected) and the Guardian (expected) that lamented 'Will Smith's Slap' was really a problem of 'White Supremacy' - effectively indicting 'Whiteness' as the cause of all of this malaise.

This is absolutely asinine!
The entire topic of this sub-thread is that the supposed “true cost” of driving a car is imposed upon society via negative externalities. It is true that those negative externalities exist, however if you want to quantify the “true cost” of vehicle ownership, then you need to account for all externalities, not only the ones that support your point of view. The OP in this sub-thread makes no mention of those confounding externalities at all, and therefore their entire premise is without merit. Making reference to any of the small number of cities around the world where the economy is somewhat less reliant on private vehicle ownership doesn’t falsify that at all.
They don’t have to charge the same price everywhere as the work doesn’t cost the same everywhere either.

Having to refund people in cases where Google’s AI fails would create an incentive for them to improve the AI and set higher thresholds for content to get flagged.

I think my idea would make the system work better overall without making it worse for anyone.
There's been talk in the past about delivering data to STBs via closed-captioning side channels [1]. I don't know if it ever was actually done, but I've got to imagine there's even more room in modern broadcasts for this sort of thing.

I'd like to see this project but trying to not sound 'nasty'.

Ie. I want to fit a few hundred bps of data inaudibly into some nice classical music.

It could be hidden up at 18kHz, but to be honest that still sounds nasty for those of us who have ears that still work that high.

Better would be to hide the data in harmonics and neighbouring frequencies of the music. Human ears, if they are hearing a sine wave at frequency X have reduced sensitivity for audio at frequencies close to X and close to multiples of X. I think you could use that effect to send data much more pleasantly.

I had 6 interviews with Amazon only to be told NO at the end. And I thought I got the jab lol. Then just recently, I was looking to jump to smaller organization. After 5 interviews they told me no. Again I really thought I got the job. So now I am just wondering wtf happened. I got no feedback. They should be paying us for all the wasted time and energy.

I remember a lot of people disliking Skyward Sword because the traditional handholding and plot-centric Zelda design had grown to the point that you couldn’t escape the tutorial for hours and the Navi-like annoying reminder mascot had returned.

They were inspired to reinvent it by watching the reviews for Shadow of the Colossus which was “modeless” (low-UI) and refused to explain anything, like Fromsoft does now.

Are you implying that renegotiating terms isn't an available option, and the only way to deal with an unpreferable situation as an employee is to switch jobs?

I am trying to make sense of your comment but I don't really get this attitude either :)

Impressive, it's a lot heavier and ~indie. Strange to revisit these times.
We’ve been in-office since early August 2021. It’s been great. Since we have two offices, we dial in every day for our daily meeting.

The rest of the time we talk in person and sync up after. We’ve found it quite enjoyable so all of us come in every day.

We’re in HFT so if an action would leave money on the table, we’d prefer the alternative that grabs the cash.

In this case, we started this office because part of the team was remote in SF and expressed an interest in being in one. It costs a lot per year so we didn’t make the decision lightly.
>No, it's absolutely not a straw man.

I repeat: nobody was arguing that people losing their pensions was a good thing. Nobody. Absolutely nobody. Literally no-one.

I don't even know what you're referencing, or how it's even possible for Private Equity to pilfer workers' pension funds. If anything, it's the funds themselves that own/invest in Private Equity.

Yet still, you and the other poster have brought it up as if stealing pension funds (how?) is somehow "what Private Equity does".

You might as well be arguing that Private Equity destroys value because it's immoral to fuck a dog. I'm sure Carl Icahn-esque character has tried it before.

As someone who has worked on startups, side gigs, and only around 6 months at a “real” company. I’m always blown away at how many meetings there are in corporate America. What are you even meeting about? Why aren’t you doing hands on keyboard work? Why does a decision need to be made in a room, with everyone pretending to listen? Why are you presenting something to me when I’ll comprehend it far better if I read it, gather my thoughts, and then send you my questions?

And don’t get it twisted. I’ve been in these types of meetings. Client meetings, project meetings, etc. It’s always been as an outsider, but they’re all the same. Small talk, people arrive, someone always has to have everyone introduce themselves, then there’s a quasi-presentation/conversation, and eventually everyone leaves. I can’t think of a less efficient means of communicating an idea than that.
Is it really pronounced "ee-dee"? Here I've been pronouncing it all the time like it was some zany protagonist in a 90's cartoon show!
However what does a hiring process like this communicate to those being hired?

I had more than one interview, where the things I discovered during the interview made me reconsider my options and go for another company. Not because I wouldn't have fit with the team or my skills were not there, but because this kind of thing tells me how processes are organized or not organized within your company, how people treat each other etc.

What candidates does a hiring process like this drive away? Are it specific character traits that pass through the sieve? If yes, how will that shape your corp and the culture in it in the long term?
Exactly like livestock. If you take a look at the family tree of comercial honebee queens (yes, one exists, breeders track lineage) you will find that there are lots of loops and backtracks. Basically, lots of inbreeding. Bees are bread for 1) Production capacity. 2) Easy handling

The problems that beekeepers have been seeing the last 10 years may be in part a problem of genetic diversity.

Thats not the main story though: Wild bee populations (along with nearly all other insects) are having a bad time too. Habitat loss and pesticides are thought to be the reason.

Beekeeping may even be a contributing factor to some wild populations decline due to competition over ever more scarse resources.
I agree that the language-level C-FFI is quite good, the `bindgen`/`cbindgen` stuff is ok, but not amazing.

I have a fair amount of experience with `cxx`, and even with `autocxx`. These tools show a lot of promise but are nowhere in the ballpark of `pybind11` in features, maturity, flexibility, or ease-of-use. It's early days on the Rust <-> C++ journey, which I appreciate might not be a huge concern for a lot of folks, but I depend on a lot of existing C++. My in-house thing ("alloy") is a big mess of `bindgen`/`cbindgen` and pain. It works ok but it's super counterintuitive at best that I budget like 5x the time to hoist something core up into Rust and I do for Python.

I'm excited to see what happens in the space!
I will! Thank you for the pointer!
I think that interviewing is a continuation of office politics with other means (to misquote Clausewitz). An interviewer who will not get along with you is bound to reject you as a candidate (that's what i understood during the last interviewing season)

Shops with very tight hiring processes are in all likelihood bad places to work for, with lots of office politics. A very elaborate hiring process may well be an indication for a general level of mistrust and to some extent an indication for a dysfunctional workplace. I once worked for Amazon, was very happy that they hired me with all their interviews, however the job was a shitthole.

This observation was of great benefit to me, now I don't fret over a rejection. Believe me, it's just not worth the worry.
> $50k signing bonus is common

I clearly live in a different labour market to this conversation. How many places in the world is this common?
I'm not sure I see the reckless generalisation. I said `+` meant append, not add. We can use addition in the case of integers to serve as `append`, but its a special case of appending where A+B == B+A.

In python, where I take the example, `+` performs that role,

[a() + a() for a in (str, bool, int, list, tuple)]

etc.
The problem with this argument is that it assumes the problem exists and isn't getting any worse. It is in fact getting worse. The crux of the problem is not necessarily the current steady state imbalance, but the continuous imbalance that results from metropolitan areas adding jobs faster than they can add units of housing.

As long as these high cost of living areas continue adding jobs, particularly high income jobs, you continue to have a growing pool of knowledge workers who can afford these market rates that are unaffordable to the working class pool. Give this pool of workers a big enough carrot, maybe its a fitness center or a pool or some astroturf for the dog, and they will gladly move out of that 50 year old dingbat and into this new construction with the golf simulator in the basement and a garage parkng space, freeing up that 50 year old apartment (which in its time may have even been a luxury building in its own right) for someone who can't afford the above amenities.

To this end its essential to build housing as fast as possible and to create as many units as possible. When you mandate things like x% of units as 'affordable,' often times that leads to developers going back to the drawing board and chopping off entire stories from the build, and fewer units of housing being added to the local area than there would have been had the developer been allowed to build full bore and actually cover costs on a larger build. This ironically hurts the very class of people who would have benefited from those affordable units in the first place.
This is an interesting article about the Basques in Canada. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-basques-were...

As above, I was thinking of python in my choice of the `+` example.
What happened in creative coding in the last five years?
I've been actively following generative design and creative coding for quite some time during my studies and beyond. Due to changes in profession I stopped paying attention to the field around 2017. Now I've been asked to do a seminar about the topic and I wonder:

What happened in creative coding in the last five years? What did I miss? Where is the field going now?

I would love to get your input with links and hints to exceptional projects and articles you encountered in the last few years and will be eternally grateful for the help of this collective mind.
We actually do in radar systems which range between 400 Mhz and 36 Ghz. We've also had 2.4 and 5 ghz wifi and other rf protocols ubiquitously deployed for years. Did you even look at my reference? It's a systematic review of 100s of studys several of which cover frequencies between 2.4gz to as high as 300 ghz. There's tons of them in there and the conclusion still came to no known mechanism for harm or observed harm. You are literally making assertions that research hasn't been done when it absolutely has and you're just being stubbornly assertive about something that's factually incorrect.

And this is the opposite of leaded gasoline because the first study that suggested a harmful mechanism was verifiable and produced reproducible results with a mechanism that was reasonable and testable.

The many hypothetical harms from RFR have been tested extensively and found no observable harm or mechanism for harm below the ionizing range of EM radiation.

You're just expressing doubt with arguments that are vague and untestable which is reasonable because all the testable hypothesis have been investigated.

Propose a mechanism for harm and provide evidence that it's actually happening. If we held off on advancing technology over fear, uncertainty, and doubt arguments like this we'd get no where.
I recently talked to someone who was doing full time fortran and they were making a lot less than I expected. I'd always heard these rumors that people were cashing out doing contracting to maintain manframes and things like that but I'm wondering if this is a bit of an urban legend at this point.
I think this is highly dependent on your company. People talk about FANG/SiValley companies like they're all the same but that is completely untrue. There are orders of magnitude difference in culture between companies and even within companies. I guess when you're on the outside looking in it all seems the same. It also changes depending on how the business is doing. I suspect, for instance, things are about to seriously go downhill at Netflix. That may cause the culture to become even more cutthroat.
It does exist in the US, and they do sell them at Wal-Mart, although not the full line and (at least in my area) not in-store. The Sceptre website shows everything 'ReStock Soon', so maybe the latter is temporary.

There aren't many reviews of the sets - Consumer Reports doesn't even track a single one right now - and what you can find is mostly mediocre to negative.
Yeah it is perfect at 2x scaling. I drive it from Linux though (a regular Intel workstation build with an RTX 3060 video card driving it via 2 DisplayPort cables).

AFAIK (and I've looked into it), there is no way to drive this monitor from a Mac unless you have an Intel Mac with a Blackmagic eGPU using the Titan Ridge chipset.

(Haven't confirmed that works, though, since I don't have an Intel Mac.)

Maybe you can explain one of my long-burning questions: why are non-English tracks handled so inconsistently? I'll sometimes see an English translation, sometimes a transliteration (for non-Latin scripts), and sometimes the original language. It's not consistent which gets used even for a single artist, and sometimes changes to a different one.

The albums Ангедония (https://open.spotify.com/album/1HxmgR8wpc1ySplYCTNwaW or https://i.imgur.com/ndOXsgL.png) and Продано! (https://open.spotify.com/album/5kp7j9B4TDA3VfhaXz9XcJ or https://i.imgur.com/QJNjXc1.png), for example, both contain a version of the track "Рижская". The former uses the original Russian while the latter uses Rigas', which is a sort-of translation (it's an adjectival version of "Riga", which doesn't really exist in English).

https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/en.lproj/static.h... indicates that there are separate fields for each of the original, the translation, and the transliteration, but it doesn't seem like anyone actually _uses_ these, and instead just picks one arbitrarily to stuff into the main/native field. I'm not sure if Spotify even has a way to display the alternates--I can't recall ever seeing a toggle for it, though idk if I've ever actually encountered a track that includes the variants, since you can't see raw metadata on Spotify.

Is it just that music labels do a lackluster job of handling metadata? I expect this is probably the case, since classical music is similarly messy--it's a crapshoot whether the composer or performer gets used as the artist. For that I've at least seen the composer metadata field populated sometimes, but internationalization fields don't seem to be used ever.
People whose common ground in life is that they both liked the weather or got good deals on big houses - at least this is how I understand geographical community in a remote-first world - would seem unlikely to produce nearly as engaging of lunch conversation as coworkers. And coworkers at lunch were not famously engaging to begin with.

Soulslikes don’t have “story” in the sense of other CRPGs that constantly dump words upon words on you and have romance systems that are just dungeons inside a dialog tree.

Actually, most Japanese games aren’t like that at the moment. There’s a move away from turn based JRPGs to having more action.
Can you describe an example? Generally in my high cost of living area I observe this trend pretty clearly. Pricier apartments are typically newer or nicer, cheap ones are usually at least 50 years old and unrenovated and scarcely maintained beyond what the letter of the law outlines, and these units could have identical square footage measurements, be $400 apart on monthly rent, and exist across the street from each other.
