You should check out Gabor Mate (there are many good interviews on youtube) to understand the nature of addicting, especially as it pertains to things beyond drugs and alcohol. The high level summary is that addiction is usually less about the specific vice than it is a tool that helps you disconnect and find relief from inner turmoil and/or anxiety. The best thing you can do is to let yourself become open and curious about yourself and what you're going through from a holistic point of view, and then think about how you want to heal.
If it's something important, and it's not in writing – it's best to assume that it won't happen.

Recruiters will tell you anything to close the deal: fake valuations & equity info, incorrect work responsibilities, made up descriptions of work culture.

Recruiters are a sales position. They are selling you the company. Their job is to close you. And there is little if any recourse to them lying unless it's documented and protected by employment law.
The only good experience I have had with a 3rd party recruiter was when they put the name of the company in the email and I contacted that company directly.

It just doesn't work well to have a non technical person be the middle man between two technical people
True, but these aren't entry level jobs either.

I just finished using rclone to pull down my whole Dropbox last night. I'm closing my account today. Their app was a piece of crap that never worked for me anyway.

I'm going to look at rsync.net simply because their people hang out on here.
They linked to a PDF of an accident report for a 767 with 3 deaths, and included a page # to follow for the reference to the issue being relevant - follow it and you will find what you're looking for.
Exactly: it's the policy, it's captured by for-profit industrial complexes - and if you want to get into deeper conspiracy hypothesis, it's also foreign influence laundering $100s of billions into our real estate market, not only buying up/owning our most valuable land and properties, but at the same time making the costs of every Canadian go up and quality of life going down - making us weaker as a society, and more vulnerable to takeover; there's a whole book written on this called "Wilful Blindness: How a Network of Narcos, Tycoons and CCP Agents Infiltrated the West" by Sam Cooper; Canada is one of the richest countries in the world, resource and spring water wise with our lakes, and especially per capita with only 38 million population - we're a prime target, rich and relatively easy, and our systems are clearly captured.
Oh, dear. Truth being the operating word… There is no truth in a set of axioms we cannot even conceive properly (any infinite set has properties beyond what seems reasonable, even “just” the Natural numbers). From that comes arithmetic, the “most elementary” form of mathematics which cannot be proved consistent…

We (I am a working mathematician) do not understand our objects, we can just make do. Only finite graph theory has a chance of being “real”. And it stops being finite very soon.

And we certainly should be honest enough to admit that our “science” says very little about the “real” world, where truth lies.

Maths is just a tool. Funny, exciting and even in some sense beautiful. But “truth” does it not contain. Except, I insist, in very specific finite constructions.

Statements hold but they are not “true” because they do not relate to the real world (otherwise, Frodo reaching Mount Doom would also be “true”).

There are no continuous functions out there. Bolzano’s theorem is not “true”.
Right, smaller repos add more friction to dependencies, that is certain, but flipside view of that is that it enforces API boundaries and thinking about systems building as SOLID components in their own right.

That friction sometimes helps: If it is painful to update Dependency A because it usually means upstreaming changes to A's Dependency B first, for instance, that can often indicate a tight-coupling problem that in a class diagram someone might easily discover and refactor over lunch but in a systems diagram was non-obvious without that "update hell" pain. Solving such tight-coupling problems is hard, and it may mean living with the pain for some time, and while monorepos make that pain go away they never solve those coupling problems (and arguably make it far easier to strongly couple systems that you likely don't want coupled). It's a lot like turning off all the Warnings in your compiler; it makes the immediate dev experience a lot nicer, but it risks missing things that while not problems now may be problems in the future.

I think there are also some benefits to using the same dependency managers for first-party components/libraries as for third-party components. The auto-updating of first-party versions is seen as a benefit to monorepos, but if recent and current CVEs have taught us anything you need to audit and update your third-party components quite regularly. Needing to also update first-party components/libraries with the same dependency managers has some benefits in terms of forcing a regular dependency update cadence, that then also benefits additional developer eyes on third party update rhythms. (Especially as increasingly more dependency managers pick up auto-auditing/security and CVE awareness tooling that runs on each update. There's more likely developer eyeballs on those audit reports if frequently run for first-party components and third-party components.) Dependency managers are their own friction in the process, but necessary friction for third-party components, and there are benefits to first-party components needing the same friction.

As with most software development practices there is no objectively "right" answer here. Monorepos have less friction in a large org. Friction and pain are sometimes useful tools, despite few people "want" them in their developer experience. Systems design is hard and tight-coupling is often an easy solution. Looser coupling is often better, more resilient design that is easier to work with at the boundaries and the "I can trust this other team's repo to be a black box and they let me file bug reports as if they were a second-party vendor" level, which can be its own tool for avoidance of mental fatigue.
No. Twitter absolutely has multiple repos. Some of them are very big, but they certainly have more than one. Why they have > 1 repo is a long story, but the post you're responding to is in the ballpark.

Sounds like Dota.

Dota was a serious addiction of mine. What helped me quit was getting rid of EVERYTHING that could trigger me to play.

- Uninstalling Steam
- Deleting twitch account
- Every time youtube would recommend me a dota video, I would mark it as "not interested" and "dont show this channel again"
- Getting rid of my mouse. I gave my mouse to someone for a month for safekeeping.
- Finding another stimuli that you deem less damaging. For me this was chess.

Video games can cause extreme addiction I know, but successfully quitting it is SO REWARDING. After almost 18 month I do not miss it even a little bit.

What also could help is telling everyone you know friends and family that you are quitting this game. Then you will be less inclined to fail because they will know about your failure. Try to not be alone in this journey.

Good luck.
very much this. there's also a cultural understanding that libraries/fat clients are equal or worse in terms of maintainability compared to services. equal in the sense that you have to treat them like a service, worse because it's easier to mess up and you don't get to control your rollout strategy.

EDIT: Though while most teams have gone towards many smaller packages for their applications, I suspect that most would be better served by a team level monorepo. That gets you all of the benefits of monorepo locally and all of the benefits of manyrepo globally, and unless your project hits the ~200+ developer mark maintaining things will be stay tractable.
I've been doing remote longer than a decade and never ever had to come in to the office when designated as such. Might be reasonable for you, but that's up to the individual and at the very least needs to be disclosed in the interview stage if it's mandated. Some people work remote because they have debilitating anxiety, phobias, or mental health issues. Others are single parents that don't have the ability to offload those responsibilities. There are valid reasons for never going in.

Most of FAANG has been pretty open about they want people back in the office, at least part of the time.

A lot of companies are talking about hybrid models, so that is probably where we will end up. We will get there a lot faster if the economy tanks and the power shifts away from the employee.

Hope I am wrong, I love WFH.
Yeah, I think it's just "moving the goalposts" or the "hedonistic treadmill" or "comparison is the thief of joy." When I turned 34, I made a list of (fairly attainable but significant) things that I wanted to accomplish before turning 35 last year. I mostly did those things, and I know that I objectively have more to my name than most of humanity at this age, and I'm in a better place than I imagined being at 20, 25, or 30... college degrees, seniority in my career, married, kids, 7-figure net worth, still healthy and fit... but it just doesn't feel like it. I mostly just notice the people who have accomplished more, or have a nicer house, or have more time to do what they want, or have a better family situation in some way.
> Plus, there are a virtually unlimited number of proven tools for seeing if the circuit is live (even if there's no current flowing) to rely on such dodgy methods.

Yes. Use those. But this discussion is about when you are working on live wires, and you know you are working on live wires.
Nuclear energy is also the best way to perform nuclear de-proliferation and has been by far the most successful means to date.[0]

> A total of 500 tonnes of Russian warhead grade HEU (equivalent to 20,008 nuclear warheads) were converted in Russia to nearly 15,000 tonnes tons of LEU (low enriched uranium) and sold to the US for use as fuel in American nuclear power plants. The program was the largest and most successful nuclear non-proliferation program to date.

Never has my professional life been distilled to such an accurate description.
Maybe we should gamify it. Actually I was thinking of places with the same posting for months or years. My inspiration was remembering the amusement that FuckedCompany provided... and it was surprisingly accurate.
From a quick google, the krypton was vented on purpose over the course of weeks, to keep radiation at safe levels. Government regulators were involved.

All of us are immersed in background radiation all the time. Raising the level slightly, but still within normal background levels, is not a significant safety concern. It's certainly far less concerning than climate change, or even the direct pollution from fossil plants.
Approachable meaning it doesn’t take a giant leap for an American to consume it - it isn’t bugs (ants, grasshoppers, locusts) and it isn’t raw fish.

Not that there’s anything wrong with those things - Americans do in fact eat those things, but there can be some mental hurdles around eating something that is identifiably an insect.

The Ethiopian food I’ve seen is injira and various combinations of spices, chicken, beef, eggs, and common vegetables. The least “approachable” part is that you eat it with your hands, but in practice it’s not any different from a burrito or taco.

A fast food take on Ethiopian would almost certainly include a wrap made with injera, maybe tibs, and gomen wat. Doro wat would work as well. In restaurants it is often served platter style, which is directly analogous to many Chinese restaurants in the US.
That's right. But image covers other cases like paper doc or google doc

I’ve seen photos, too, but always wonder how big firms handle these, given anti-discrimination laws.

Yes, names, addresses, and education are proxies for race, gender, age, etc., too, but those also carry information that is necessary to evaluate an applicant.

I would think photos, being unnecessary as part of the CV, are more problematic.
Cause we don't build homes.
They call themselves a newspaper, though they strain the definition, I think.
They also need to encourage provinces to change zoning laws to encourage mixed-use zoning and denser development. Suburban sprawl isn't going to be the best long-term answer to supply shortage.
Yeah that’s what I do, I just thought everything served from S3 was behind CF too. Thanks!
It's an interesting idea but it's still very nascent and speculative.

In these last couple of years, Wolfram has been talking about a "universe building kit". He posits that universes (including our own universe) and it's time evolution can be described by relatively simple "hypergraph" that modifies itself and that fully describes physical laws including the concepts that would unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. His thinking is that we just have to somehow "find" that hypergraph and we'll know everything all the way back to "t=0".

Not surprisingly, the physics community doesn't seem interested in dropping whatever they're doing and pursuing this. But like I said, it's OK. The only gripe I would have is if he started trying to getting funding from sources which other scientific researchers use now. The concern is that he would just roll out his obscurantist papers and talks and convince people with the purse-strings to fork over money for this idea that COULD HAVE GONE towards more legitimate pursuits. As it is now, high-energy physics already gets what many consider to be "too much" funding and it's been rather fruitful. This hypergraph stuff... meh.
Google, at one point, had component versioning that was not just "build everything from the latest commit". Libraries within the tree would get tagged releases, and everything else would build from the latest tag of those libraries.

This practice was abandoned, but I don't know the reasoning for why it was abandoned.

That... dodges the question. One may have a belief on a question of fact or one of opinion.

> I prefer to avoid the term "fact" b/c it leads to too many arguments

Arguments are not a bad thing. Avoiding them by muddying language is a bad thing.
only if you consider that a judgement of character (or at least, one equivalent to the OP).

Can you fully expand on the things you say rather than leaving them cryptic? I'm having to guess what point you are making.

Even if batteries and solar get another 10x cheaper, that's not enough to make it through winter in some populated areas.

A whole home backup battery is $10K's, and likely stores under 24 hours of normal usage. Buying 90 of those per house (for three months of power backup) would cost millions per house today.

A bright overcast day in California can easily drop solar output by 50-75%. Up north, it's much worse, and those days can come in multi-month bursts.

Much of the US south will be uninhabitable according to current climate projections, which increases demand up north, creating distribution problems that haven't been solved. Also 40+ state megastorms are becoming common in the US. What happens if the whole continent is cold and cloudy at the same time?

I guess you're propsing synthetic natural gas, or similar?
While I agree that folks tend to doubt themselves and it holds them back, I would caution against holding that against them though (I know you didn't say it explicitly, but it feels that way when you say "their own thinking").

Folks, like you say, come from a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Those who you think could do more, likely have experienced some "reason" behind their current situation or achievements (trauma, immediate concerns of taking care of family, etc).

And so, unfortunately, not everyone has the ability or opportunity to adopt a positive-curious attitude. I will say that such an attitude does tend to arise when coming from a safe / secure background (loving parents, a safety net, etc.). It can arise without those things, but no guarantees either way I suppose.

I'm getting to the point where I can myself, but it's been a struggle of getting to the point of feeling safe financially. My own situation is unique, no familial support (more the opposite truly), a need to provide enough for myself (I have chronic conditions). And thus while I'd like to "achieve", I must balance that with "survive". One day I'd like to do more, and I believe I'll get there. Fingers crossed.

When you watch people for cumulative hours, you get an idea of who they are.

And you get an idea of their tastes & whether or not you share the same tastes. Back in the day, if Siskel & Ebert gave a film two thumbs up, I would probably go see it. Not because they were on the TV, not because of some credentials they may or may not have had, but because over time, I've found out that I generally liked the films they gave two thumbs up, and life is too short to "do my own research" on all the movies playing this weekend.

Of course, this doesn't mean I would go out and buy a car if they were in the commercial for it, but I might have thought about getting a movie related product they hawked (microwavable popcorn? Special edition VHS/DVD? I dunno...).
I wonder how many homes are bought and sold through shell companies, family members, etc?
Definitely a bug.

I JUST NOW experienced the opposite of this with an airport parking website.

I double-checked my reservation dates (maybe hit the back button in doing so) before pulling the trigger on the order button and it applied my $19 'free day' discount twice.

And, yes, my credit card was charged the post-double discount value!
If nuclear power is such a great idea, then why has it never become the dominant technology globally despite many decades of lobbying from the nuclear industry? Technologies that are strictly superior tend to dominate in the long run. Yet, nuclear power has always remained a niche player even in countries where there was not a lot of strong, organised opposition.

Perhaps that has something to do with the fact that nuclear power suffers from a lot of issues that have never properly been solved. And despite claims to the contrary, it is certainly not completely safe. The fact that dozens of Russian soldiers in Ukraine recently suffered radiation poisoning after digging trenches in the Chernobyl exclusion zone just highlights how long-lasting the environmental impact of nuclear accidents is. Admittedly, they should have known better, but how many exclusion zones like that can we afford to have globally from future nuclear accidents that are virtually guaranteed to happen eventually?

Well it's complicated. Foreign investors would be buying mansions that locals couldn't afford anyways. And the locals are just bidding against themselves for the cheaper stuff armed with low interest rates and bank of Ma and Pa. My statistic says that only 20% of RE is foreign owned.

My personal experience in large orgs is that friction is a much larger problem at larger orgs than it is at smaller orgs. The friction was always much lower, day-to-day, at small orgs. (Small orgs front-load the friction somewhat... "Here, set up your development environment.")
It is full loopholes like people with 10 year visas, work visas, student visas are exempt. We have University students with $31million Vancouver mansions in their name. Our tax system is screwy where we have very low property taxes and high employment tax. The whole west side of Vancouver claims poverty level incomes on average (like qualifies for government tax rebates bad), yet it is the most expensive land in the country.

Astronaut families are a problem and I feel leach on the society. Paying very low taxes, using all the social services, yet making income outside of the country so not paying anything.

Could you use OpenFAAS as an execution environment for the integrations/functions? This would allow you to run this without Lambda as well.
I agree with you in effect, but disagree in terms of mechanism. The FAA doesn’t say you have to use any particular tech; instead they say the burden of proof is on the applicant for an STC to prove an equivalent level of safety and no degradation in performance that would be relevant to certification of the original article. If you want to add a turbo-normalizer to an engine originally certified as normally aspirated, there’s a process to get that approved. Replace one magneto with electronic ignition? There’s at least one group with an STC for that.

(BTW, your USB charger example is a minor modification, able to signed off by an A&P.)
This is all false.

Disposing of used solar panels is trivial: the metal gets recycled, the silicon gets recycled, the cadmium and the tellurium get recycled.

There is absolutely no land-use issue for solar: solar is compatible not just with roofs and parking lots, but also with reservoirs and canals, where it cuts evaporation and operates more efficiently, and even with pasture and farmland, where it increases yield (by reducing heat stress) and cuts water demand (likewise). There is a lot of pasture and farm land. Ranchers and farmers like an extra revenue stream and better yield.

Wind, also, coexists neatly with pasture and farming.

In any case, even were all solar farms single-use, the amount used up for that, for all our needs, would be less than is devoted to fossil fuel extraction today. So the land-use claim is simple FUD.

Each dollar diverted to building nukes instead of renewables brings climate disaster ever nearer, because a dollar of renewables displaces more coal than a dollar of nuke, and immediately, not ten or twenty years from now.
