Personally I never liked the idea that one should "get over" the death of people who really take central roles in one's life. It in my mind cheapens what relationships are and that for many people a lot of relationships are final and so is losing them, there is simply no replacement for everything and there shouldn't be, it would be weirdly robotic.

So personally as I get older and people die I think grieving and having that 'weight' with you is normal, I couldn't imagine that losing a brother, or a wife, or decades long friends is something to get over with. I think it's important that people who have problems functioning get help but I'm not sure there's a lot of need to pathologize that kind of grief wholesale which seems so common nowadays.

i've similarly architected my life and lifestyle to minimize stress and avoid drama. however, zero responsibility and zero vulnerability (emotionally) is a dangerous place to find yourself, I wouldn't advise seeking that out.

FWIW the Rust-C FFI is very solid. Binding to more complex languages is in various degrees of progress. For C++ I have heard really good things about https://cxx.rs/ (but never had the need to try it). wasm_bindgen is already very good for binding to JS and I have heard people having lots of success writing Python and Ruby libraries in Rust (with some manual glue on the scripted side).
It takes roughly the same time to reach Spain from London and southwest Germany, though. Meaning that London is closer to Spain by rail than most of Germany. Eurostar and (the rest of) the French high speed network really compensate some simple geography.

Of course the journeys to southern Spain take too long to appeal the mainstream, and it is easier to purchase plane tickets, too.

To answer your question, it takes 12 hours to reach Barcelona from London and a few more the next day to reach Alicante…
Caffeine was equally as hard to quit as Lexapro for me. Do not recommend attempting to quit both at the same time.
Solar urticaria has nothing to do with ionizing radiation. as per the CDC, UVA is not ionizing. You can review this on cdc.gov, and maybe inform them they are wrong? A discovery that ionizing radiation is the causative factor of anaphylaxis in solar urticaria would probably get you quite a few awards. Looking forward to your contributions to health sciences.

It also doesn't matter, as the same occurs with infrared: google "heat urticaria". def not ionizing? You can use this link www.google.com to confirm, and also this one maybe: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

maybe also google "cold urticaria"? is negative (inverse?) infrared ionizing? Pressure urticaria is also cool, no radiation required at all.

Given the subject matter at hand is quite involved and requires fairly up to date expertise in neurology, allergy and immunology, oncology and dermatology to be able to evaluate mechanisms at hand, I have prepared for you a decent list of peer reviewed materials to begin your preparation:

a) ISBN: 0-87893-106-6
b) ISBN: 9780123851574
c) ISBN: 9780199558322
d) ISBN: 978-1-62618-166-3
e) ISBN: 978-92-4-157238-5
f) ISBN: 3034808372
g) ISBN: 9783034808378
h) ISBN: 978-92-76-29839-7

Once you have covered the basics in the above peer reviewed literature, most of which is even approved for training, you will then have no difficulty at all accepting the following:

1) Mast cells are located at the junction point of the host and external environment.
2) EMF penetrates into the skin tissue by several millimiters.
3) There is voluminous clinical evidence of mast cell degranulation by non-ionizing radiation
4) Mast cells produce inflammation, both local AND systemic.
5) Chronic inflammation causes DNA damage and increases risks of cancer and many other diseases.

Clinical implications of the interplay between EMF and mast cells is an ongoing area of research. There is like less than 90 papers published on this specific topic, which is miniscule. However, you should not review those papers until after you completed with basics.

Looking forward to your contributions.
Thanks, I know nothing about dynamodb so that's a good tip, will go and research!
Negotiate a 30-day money back guarantee with the firms who send you candidates. They will only send you proven candidates that have been successful elsewhere. Don't bother interviewing or maybe have a one person 30 minute culture sanity check.

An Archimedes platformer called Nemesis I had that came out in 1992 had a very distinctive 'hup' sound on jump (also a very distinctive 'sploosh' sound when you fell into the water and died, it was not a forgiving game) - I wonder if earlier platformers also did, and Quake was just the first game with such a sound effect that became truly iconic.

I'm specifically interested in knowing which types of tumors have become more common, and exactly how much more common they've become.
Well worded response, you've changed my mind! My guess is that what is deemed subjectively better comes from past interpretations and builds. I don't have enough historical background to understand the context that has lead to what is popular today.
The ruble has largely recovered, though whether that will hold is uncertain. Too many large economies didn't join the sanctions, so the sanctions largely redirected, rather than halted, the flow of goods and money.
Yeh, there's some common schemas as museums share a smallish range of collection databases. But...they tend to use them in their own unique way, which is where the complexity comes in. You're right about the big players, however project traditionally target these guys and we're keen to help the little ones...

Outlier? FAANG is just the top of the market. Companies are started in the US and grown because the opportunity to make money is much greater.

Venture capital? An awful lot of the venture capital comes from foreign investors.

Monolingual? The global business world runs on English.

Outliers? When it's all of them, the idea it is a coincidence starts getting pretty unlikely.
From a quick skim, it looks like they don't present anything which would distinguish which way the causal arrow points. Do the parasites make their hosts more attractive so they are more likely to be passed on, or do more attractive people have more sex that gives them opportunities to be infected?

I have a couple CD-Rs (from the early 2000s) that have completely lost their top layer. I suspect the cause is the label sticker that was used. But in any case, it's completely unreadable.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I actually like the current format of 1-2 phone interviews + 4-5 onsite interviews, most of them Leetcode style. All other solutions seem to just increase subjectivity on hiring decisions and make the interview more gameable.

Take home interviews are horrible if you are interviewing for more than one company at a time. It will take a lot of time if you are serious about it, and it will test you much more on how much you dedicate yourself to the problem than on what's your actual skill.

Also the fewer interviews there are, more is the importance of subjective and unjust metrics. I received offers from large (and somewhat good) companies with 1-2 interviews because of my resume. Although I personally benefitted from that, I think it brings a lot of problems for people who went to bad universities/companies, and that is not worth it.
I suppose if you had to optimize for least space used sorting in place and doing it they way they suggested would be best.

First of all, the magnetic gauss needed to flip bits on LTO media is huge. It's not a practical concern unless you're choosing an incredibly inappropriate storage location.

Second, why wouldn't you store your tapes in a case or a vault that is magnetically shielded?

You probably store your discs in cases, instead of insisting they be naturally durable against rough handling and abrasion.
Happy to help. Regardless of the direction you take, I hope the comment added some value to your situation.
Stronger: You're also rejecting more candidates. So you're not only wasting the time of 7 interviews, you're wasting the time of 7 interviewss times the N people you interview before you find one you're willing to hire.

And then, as others have said, there's the cost of the people who look at your hiring process and decide that they won't bother to try to jump through your hoops. Hint: They are not the least valuable candidates.

But then Busybox wget is simply broken, sorry. It’s still entirely normal for a hostname to resolve to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, yet have some services not listening on both. Good TCP clients implement a fallback mechanism that could be so fast the user doesn’t even notice.
No, this is absolutely not. By the same logic everybody who worked before in the government would make their new employer "affiliated", but this is not what does this word mean. E.g. let's say, a security firm founded by former cops guards shopping malls: does it mean, this firm is affiliated with the police or it's just the best application of their skills?

The real evidence would be a proof that the agenda of Bellingcat is set by CIA. Not funding or other resources, not information or any other support, but the agenda. Not "roughly coincides", not "they work on the same targets", but "set by".

They already aren't. Party affiliation is what determines opposition/support between the branches, not the branches themselves.
IMO the biggest problem with tapes is getting data off of them. The LTO standard only has compatibility for 2 generations back (i.e. an LTO-6 drive can read LTO-5 and LTO-4 tapes, but nothing before then). This means that if you have data you want to store for 30 years, you will also need to factor in the difficulty of finding a working tape drive and a computer that can operate it. With optical media, a new Blu-Ray drive can read a CD-R from the 90s so this is less of an issue.
Investment bankers don't manage portfolios. They do paperwork for companies which want to sell stocks and bonds. What you're describing is a trading operation and a crappy one at that.
I see. You think that the money you make belongs to the government, and they just allow you to keep a bit of it.

Gossip’s Café
Ok well, that makes sense on the other hand I went through a 7 interview round and I ended up taking another job before the last call to tell me you got the job!

That said it was mainly because they said after several interviews oh you just have one more to go but then the next interview said you have one more to go and they would also say you will be hearing from us in a week but it turned out I heard from them in two weeks.

But in the end, actually, both jobs paid the same, but one of them seemed to me to value my time more.
It's worth paying for (maybe not at the rates they're planning to charge sadly) just for the fact that you can click a button and never see W3Schools results in your searches ever again. Or any other spammy domain that comes up top on every other search engine.
> How would you "print" your backup on a microfilm?

There are services that can do that for you. You send them document images, they send microfilm back. I've never actually done it, but I've considered it, an I had this random service in my bookmarks: https://overnight-scanning.eu/microfilming-service/

Start a stopwatch when you sit down. Tell them they have 15 minutes to complete the sale or you walk. They can save time by discarding the upsells you're going to decline.
I've built international teams, technical and otherwise, for 20 years and the reality is that unless you are hiring for an extremely specific role with extremely specific requirements, which is almost never the case in reality, any more than 3 interviews is a waste of time. Two within the same team, if relevant, one outside the team.

Furthermore, evaluating anything other than "Do you want to work with this person?" (on a scale of "I'll quit if you hire them" to "I'll quit if you don't hire them") is a waste of time.

But, as you see, people absolutely adore wasting their time and yours, as if no one has anything better to do.

Hire people that your people want to work with. Put them to work and see how it goes. Let go of people that didn't work out. There is no further secret sauce for hiring in nearly every ordinary circumstance.

IMO.
Hi, I'm Matthew, here's a project that isn't as technical as others, but still related to programming :)

I'm running a non-profit in Florida called Tampa Bay Python [0] that has a meetup group [1] of 1,800 members.

I'm looking for someone who is interested in growing the organization with me into a strong community name. We're funded mostly by donations and the rest out of my own pocket.

Some things I am planning on introducing in the coming months are:

- more hackathon and interview prep-like events

- more technical presentations (presented by myself & others who have asked to speak on a topic)

- a monthly newsletter about: python news, open job reqs, tips & tricks

Longer term goals are:

- perform multi-day workshops & training courses

- work with local universities to find volunteer contributors to the org

- find employers who are hiring and push candidates to their pipeline

- find other non-profit projects that need contributors

Our team is comprised of 2 others who are remote, so all async communication is held on Slack & Notion.

My background: write Python for day job as distributed systems engineer, but really enjoy working with people, especially newbies and self-starters.

If you're interested, reach out to me personally at: mgranda [at] tampabaypython [dot] org.

I think the world we live in today, being civilized as opposed to jungle living, is much more ambiguous. Our brains are not tuned for it.
I’m a bit miffed after just a couple paragraphs. My reading of the original article was that the issue of people feeling tempted to implement RSA was just exacerbating the problem of how difficult it is to implement RSA securely.

I am not a cryptographer. I’d be rather cautious about implementing my own cryptography at all, less with my own code implementing the primitives. That said, Trail of Bits makes a compelling argument, that, in my reading, RSA is harder to get right in subtle ways, whereas ECC is just hard to grok period. A bad RSA implementation leads to weak cryptography, but a bad ECC implementation often leads to something that doesn’t work at all.

This, alongside other benefits of ECC like smaller key sizes for similar cryptographic security, faster and simpler key generation, more idiot-tolerant properties, etc. makes ECC an obvious choice even disregarding if you can implement RSA. It’s just that people like to choose RSA because they feel like they understand it, but the truth is they only understand the surface-level basics. (To be fair, me too. Though I feel I also can grok some surface-level basics of some ECC-based algorithms, too.)

Feel free to flame me for not reading the article entirely; I definitely earned it. But that opener made me not want to, sorry.
Nooo! If this gets implemented then Rust is basically killed… :(

Being infected with toxoplasma is know to increase reckless behaviour. Having sex with lots of people can be seen as reckless behaviour. Using that argument the conclusion is somewhat reasonable.

Another one I have thought about is HPV virus(or other sexualy transmitted illnesses) and your desire to have sex. There should be a strong evolutionary pressure for the virus to increase your sex drive. If it does, I don't know.
That's abusing the word "subsidy".

Trains are just really expensive, sadly.

Trains are subsidised in most places, either by publicly funding the huge amounts of infrastructure required, or by subsidising the operations. Meanwhile air travel is usually taxed overall. Yet despite this, flying is often less than half the cost of a train.

I'm all for taxing air travel CO2, but I suspect it would lead to quicker zero carbon fuel rather than more rail travel long term.

Didn't you watch the move Twins? Arnold got all the good DNA and Danny DeVito got the junk DNA.
True.

But on the flip side, the LTO spec guarantees that this two-generation backwards compatibility will remain for the forseeable future. As the article mentions, it's possible that optical discs will become unpopular and cease to exist completely.

With tapes, you're in the same boat as a bucket full of institutions to whom archives are VERY important. That's a big plus!

Some call acting on principle with the understanding you may be imprisoned for doing so “having the courage of one’s convictions’.

Snowden evaded extradition to the United States by residing in Russia. At present, he appears to be silent regarding the current state of Russia/Ukraine relations.

Courage. Convictions.
Learning about history, as a narrative about the motivations of leaders and peoples and how they incorporated technology, culture, and coping with the environment into their lives is both immensely informative. The topics of math and science alone have rich histories that help to inform why we've ended up where we are today. For me, at least, having a grasp of the history of a thing (a place, an idea, a people, etc) helps me reason about it.

Ignoring history seems like a great way to fall into the classi "Why don't you just...?" trap.

Hired and fired quickly is better because when I have to dedicate weeks or a month of unpaid, uncompensated time to your process then I'm the one losing. You are already getting paid for putting in the work of interviewing me. If your team is stretched so thin that you need to put your time at a premium, that's a problem with your process not having enough throughput.
