I'm in the same boat as the GP. Talked to a few AMEs about my options back in 2019. SI involves thousands of dollars per year and and only applies to a few relatively old SSRI drugs. Ideally they want you to discontinue your psychiatric drug treatment – great job, FAA.

There's also the BasicMed rules. You can fly with BasicMed instead of 3rd class, but you need to have had a 3rd class to get the BasicMed, so I suggested to the AME that I could drop the drugs for 2 months, get the 3rd class, and then immediately apply for the BasicMed and hop back on whatever I was taking in the first place. One guy refused to talk to me after that.
Mike Lee's office always responds to me, but I've yet to get a response that says anything other than "I disagree with you."

I keep expecting Xaw to make a comeback now that flat design is in vogue.
I'm a big fan of monorepos. If they get too unwieldy or you need VCS granular permissions, you should use Perforce over git, but using either git or Perforce generally speaking I think works fine for monorepos. The tool has come such a long way from even 10 years ago, especially for front end codebases, but even for things like Rust the story is really strong.

It comes down to how efficient you can be with tooling. Thats the one thing that monorepos really do require, is a good upfront investment in tooling, and long term maintenance. However I've found the initial setup "cost" of setting up a complex monorepo with correct tooling is far outweighed by the simplified operative overhead of working inside it.
Tracking advertising effectiveness is ridiculously difficult and multiple people inside and outside your company are incentivized to overstate impact.

Statistical power for example assumes independence which can be very difficult. Great you spend X million to convince people to buy an AC in March, did you actually benefit or would those same customers want an AC as soon as the first heat wave hit? Spreading demand can be useful, but it’s also really easy to to draw false conclusions from statistics if you don’t understand the domain.

And that’s just one of the many pitfalls involved.
This is quite risky though. It’s very possible they would be in violation of their employment contract, or run afoul of the law in some way. Questions like did they steal the idea, did they use any company resources or time, etc.

Atlassian Jira and Confluence outage persists two days on
The vast majority of successful B2C brands are owned by companies like Unilever, or are Apple, etc. I don't think there's an easy comparison between the ad goals and spending of these companies and those of smaller B2Cs trying to get off the ground. Maybe your own justification is comparing Apples to oranges, pun intended, and besides the point.
>The news is still the news

Since it's impossible to cover everything that happens in the universe, choosing which news is important is a big part of being partial.

Anyway, I am less surprised that a revolutionary comrade like you is interested in knowing how the establishment thinks (to fight it I guess) than by OP's attitude, i.e., a reactionary taking interest (and judging positively) what the revolutionaries are writing. In my experience, people self-labelling as right-leaning tend to dismiss anything coming from the left as "utopian bullshit".
This is very anecdotal, but I have a friend that interviewed at Google for a Remote SWE position - everything indicated that it was remote: the posting, the recruiter and the hiring manager.

Now they announced RTO, his manager said: "We're excited to have you at the office" - he was really confused about this messaging, so they forced him to apply to work remotely (even if he had been hired as such) denied his application on the grounds that this SWE role that requires a lot of cross regional interaction and virtual meetings - requires "intense collaboration that you can only get in an office". Total BS.

Needless to say he's leaving. This is such a travesty, total misdirection.
I understand what the article is arguing. I agree with it, but think it's idealistic. If swaths of your code are a mess, integration testing is super painful. You can't easily add it until you clean up the mess, so the other forms of testing are more practical more often in my experience. If you get to a point where your code isn't a mess, I'd agree that you should start introducing meaningful integration tests.

I think this is just one of those cases where there is a context-sensitive strategy to testing. It depends completely on the cleanliness of your code and experience working with it.
Their plan is to open everything once they have enough organizations signed up for their ACM OPEN plan (basically once they replace the current income from the digital library).
Haha you'd be surprised of the amount of Google cargo-culting happening in the industry. Lots of companies have 'hiring committees' now.
> > One FAANG has a recruiting proc where you are hired once you pass the interviews, you can figure out your team later.

Google?

That's definitely Facebook.
Fox and Fox News can both suck independently. My bad for assuming you meant Fox News. I take it as a given that most broadcast TV is horrible no matter where you are. What they did to Firefly they will do again to countless other shows. Part of me wants to just not care, but culture matters, and people dedicate their lives to the culture. They deserve better too.

> But yes, I would also judge someone who considered Taco Bell "good" food (by any metric). "Cheap" I'd accept.

Ah I guess I’ll agree there. It’s not great, but it’ll keep you from starving. Sadly, that’s the nutritional status quo in much of food desert America.
Thank you for mentioning algolia. Big fan (and users) of both and you just gave me an idea...
>Increased summer temps. 120 degree days are getting more common in many ares of CA.

That is not correct. Death Valley, one of the hottest places on the planet, may occasionally reach that temperature, but essentially no one lives there.[1]

Inland areas may get up to 100 degrees F. several times during the summer, but the humidity is low so it is not oppressive like the midwest or the south.

I agree, but it's also a good way to get "blackballed" in today's tech industry.

I would not encourage people early-to-mid-career, to do this.
Everyone's trying to figure out which is which, so here are my takes:

Wouldn't work ever - Amazon

Wants on-site - applies to Apple, Google, Netflix. My guess is Apple.

Team assigned later - Facebook/Meta with its bootcamp process

Doesn't fit FAANG - Netflix, it's not uncommon for folks to exclude it due to much smaller size

So most likely op interviewed at Google, which seems all the more likely given a months-long interview process that the company is infamous for, and usage of a hiring committee. My general sense is that their remote story has been somewhat inconsistent over time, so I'm not particularly surprised at internal misalignment.
EU Approves First AI for Analyzing X-Rays Automatically
Maybe I just don't understand The Linux Way but I've truly never actually seen the point in the package manager debate. There exists some website that is the authoritative source for the software. That may be a normal website or it may be a GitHub but it is there. A package manager associates it with some slug, but so does the browser, the latter just has more dots in it. A package manager pulls it from some centralized archive, but you weren't manually inputting the URL to begin with. It does in fact centralize the update flow, but that's only beneficial when you update everything at once, which I don't have any reason to be doing: either I want it on latest, with the only interruption being not quite yet, or I don't want it updating at all. The primary meaningful value-add of a package manager is the package archive being manually checked for compatibility, which is actually bogus if you scratch the surface and regardless not really necessary on Windows where everything just works. Downloading and executing an MSI does not seem to be a meaningfully different operation than writing the apt-get command; I think it is a lot more to do with the visual effect of it not happening in a web browser and showing up in the downloads list.

See, this is what I'm talking about! This I understand. It speaks volumes to me.
So, Ohio == PHP of states. I live in Indiana, your neighbor state. imho, Indiana is the R of states. Its terse, unfathomable to the outsider, very cheap, fast enough & gets the job done.
I think for me the fact that all the little rewards and stuff you did find didn’t tie together was what killed the game for me.

I mean, when the alternative is not having a chair at all - or worse having a potty chair for toddlers and when that is brought up they are told "what are you talking about, there is a chair right there" - some people would rather try to constantly lean on the right side of the broken chair instead of standing :-P.
Isn't it true of both? Team match?
That's an interesting paper, thanks for sharing.
Personally my limit is alternative facts. I have very little patience for conspiracy theories.
I’m fairly sure there is no recourse since this has happened previously at places like Yahoo? They told everyone to be on site, even remote employees who had been that way for years. In fact it appeared to be used like a stealth layoff, so they were banking on people disagreeing.
Sorta. I'm an iTunes Match person. They sort of integrated it as Apple Music lite.

They wrecked the UI completely. Which makes sense - I imagine that the program management of iTunes Match is probably a low priority. Basically, i use search history as a sort of playlist.
Very few workers in the U.S. have actual employment contracts. If you work in the tech sector in the U.S. you almost certainly don't. Instead, your employment is "at-will"; i.e. terminable by either party, with or without cause or notice (unless you live and work in Montana). You may have received a written offer of employment when you were hired (outlining your title, salary, hiring bonuses, etc.), but that is not an employment contract. The important distinction for the OP is that a written offer of employment is not legally binding. They can lie or change their minds.
Thank you. I wasn’t aware of this, it makes perfect sense.
Thanks for the information. I’ve been lazy with updates, maybe it’s time.

On the other hand, it’s very, very locked down. It barely has access to the internet at all.
At the end of the day it's a sales position and just like any sales people they can have a flexible relationship with the truth.
Lerna is only needed if you're publishing multiple packages from the monorepo. If you're consuming your packages only within the monorepo for your various services, Yarn Workspaces is generally all that's needed.
All those points are true for me using Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 13.

* Every piece of hardware has worked flawlessly: Ultrawide monitor, printer, wireless keyboard and mouse, Bluetooth mouse, Bluetooth headset, usb drives.

* I am able to install most things I want using the software installer GUI or using command line apt, but sometimes I download a deb file directly, to install something that is not in apt. Other times I just download the executable and I am done (kubectl for example).

* Never had a problem with sleep, it works fine for me every time, and I use it daily.

* Settings are GUI accessible. It would be rare to be required to do something command line. I do a lot of command line work for development, but it is not really needed just to configure the OS or desktop environment.
Also worth reading: Daniel Ellsberg's book The Doomsday Machine.

Ellsberg's job was nuclear strategy, and most of the classified documents he snuck out of his office were related to that. He published the Pentagon Papers first because he felt that if he started with the nuclear papers, nobody would even care about the Vietnam stuff.

He gave the nuclear papers to his brother, who hid them in a garbage bag on the edge of the town dump. Then a storm washed away that whole corner of the dump. They spent a year trying to find them and finally gave up. Ellsberg wrote that his wife considered that a miracle from God, because he got a pass on the Vietnam leak but would have certainly spent the rest of his life in prison for the rest.

Until recently he didn't talk about this stuff because he couldn't substantiate it, but now, enough has been declassified that he could back up his claims, which are horrific. US nuclear strategy in the '50s and '60s included the destruction of every city over 25K people in Russia and China in response to surprisingly minor conventional provocation, and acceptance of the death by radiation of everyone in Europe.

An especially startling point was that the authority to launch nukes was not just at the top. Theater commanders could do it on their own. According to Ellsberg that is still the case today.

Trust is the biggest thing missing from most forms of advertisement. I know I will gladly check out a product that a YouTuber I enjoy recommends, but banner ads/prerolls/TV ads/etc feel like a scam reel.
> One problem is the ad industry is quite good at finding ways to take credit for conversions that would have happened regardless

This is a great counter-point when someone mentions "use conversion tracking!" Conversion tracking is great, but not if they store a cookie for 7/15/30 days and "award" the conversion to the ad, when the customer took a different and varying path to purchase. Sure the ad contributed "some" to the conversion, but not 100%.
Those exceptions -- for people who live and work in Canada but aren't citizens -- look to me like basic requirements for this to have any chance at being a reasonable policy. Excluding noncitizen permanent residents from home ownership would be a great way to make sure approximately zero high income (thus high tax) people want to migrate to Canada.

Likely less due to the team's "culture" but instead normal things like SEO, UX, etc. There are no tracker parameters in the URL, but there is a tracker on the page itself. They say outright this change is in part to make money, there's nothing wrong with that.
I forced 11 to be more like 10 to make it work for me, used various utilities/etc to have a custom taskbar/start menu, bring back normal right-click context menus, etc. So, there are ways to force 11 to work better for you- I agree users shouldn't have to go to those lengths, but the options are there. After those changes, it was close enough to 10 to not bother me.

But after trialing Linux for a while, there is so much I enjoy about it. Things are so snappy. Built in screenshot tools are so much better. So many options for utilities and small little apps that just do one thing well. Theming/customizing is great. Sure it all has its quirks, but compared to Windows it's a breath of fresh air. Respectful OS update systems (no forced restarts).

I feel like even the networking efficiency of the OS itself feels better. For instance, on Windows 11, even with 300mbps internet connection- if I download a large file in browser window A while watching a Twitch video in browser window B- the Twitch video will hiccup and buffer/etc. For some reason this never happened to me on Linux. I don't know if it's just doing better internal QoS-like things at an OS level, or if I got lucky? But it was an awesome, noticeable difference.

Same with opening many tabs at once. If I want to open a folder of 10-20 bookmarks- on Windows, doing that while watching a video causes the video to stutter for a couple of seconds. Again, this is on a 300mbps connection, 10th gen i7, GTX 3070, NVME-drive system. On Linux- I can open like 50 tabs at once with no hiccups at all. Amazing.

That's why I think the time has come for me to make the full switchover. That, and Proton's increasing maturity (and even ability to quickly work for some new titles, like Elden Ring).
My experience in the Washington, DC, area is that there are plenty of former Ohioans around, and that generally they speak well of Ohio. I think that a co-worker may end up back there after retirement.
I was offered the opportunity to work 100% remotely for a large financial corporation which has the bulk of its operations in my home town. This was back in 2006. One of my best friends was outfitted with a DS1 to his house back in the mid '90's so he could work remotely.

tl;dr: Telecommuting has been around for decades and is only going to become more common, not less. The pandemic merely accelerated the trend.
Yeah but if you like Shaq and he tweets “hey this basketball is the best one I tried” then some fraction of his followers will just trust Shaq on the theory he wouldn’t hurt his reputation. Why not buy the Shaq ball?
One of the biggest mistakes I see DIY youtubers and bloggers make is jumping right into the process of building something without first showing the end result they're pushing towards. A few do this under the mistaken impression that it builds suspense, but that only works for those who already have solid followings. For most, it just means they get skipped over, with the audience moving on to something else where the payoff to them for watching is clearer.
Good point with Oracle. As much as I don't like their company the pricing for compute is significantly lower than AWS (didn't compare others).
This. I am currently going through talking with HR ( mostly because management did not want to 'create a precedent'; clearly they got orders from higher ups ) hoping to get full time remote, while, at the same time, interviewing for other positions ( which will worst case serve as a leverage - worst case, I will just go to a different office making more money ).

It sucks, but yeah. Unless this is in writing somewhere, it can change at any moment.

If I wasn't so scared of being my own boss ( it is genuinely hard to keep track of everything ), I would consider trying consulting.
Dan is diplomatic to a fault. Splitting repos on boundaries that aren’t necessary because of access control, legal obligation, or infrastructure constraint is for people who have nothing better to do.

All the big shops have multiple repositories. They all broke each one out grudgingly and under some kind of pressure.
What happens is that when management gets burned by one of startups, big vendors, or internal dev teams, the response tends to be "ok, we're not doing that again!".

It's like all the silly legal disclaimers you see on... docs, email footers, etc. -- these all represent ways in which some lawyer's customers got burned once. You can't win this game. There's no real reason to think that because you got burned by option A once you always will, especially when you can get burned with all options. But we humans don't work that way. Traumatic experiences tend produce lasting negative responses.

There is just no substitute for understanding the technologies and the people involved. The problem with vendors is that they keep you from really knowing what's going on inside them. One problem with internal dev teams is that they can fall apart.

It's all just hard, and management just has to be very good.
Nothing is installed by surprise. Peer dependencies are not optional (you have to specify them as such). There is no user error and there is nothing for npm to fix.

I have some app:

{
"name": "some-app",
"dependencies": {
"foo": "^1.0.0"
}
}

foo specifies some peer dep:

{
"name": "foo",
"peerDependencies": {
"bar": "^1.0.0"
}
}

Now some-app doesn't directly use bar, so I didn't add it to package.json. Npm@7 and newer will install everything: foo and bar. If I used package manager without auto installing peer dependencies, I would have to manually update my package.json:

{
"name": "some-app",
"dependencies": {
"foo": "^1.0.0",
"bar": "^1.0.0"
}
}

But in both cases node_modules will contain foo and bar. There are no "extra packages you never asked for". Adding bar as dependency of some-app is completely redundant information.

Now, it's possible that there are packages that don't really require some peer dependency installed, and therefore thery are installed needlessly. But that's problem of those poorly developed packages, not mine. Why should I waste time to manually specify what should and should not be installed?
> Many opponents of UBI claim that a UBI will cause inflation and reduce the value of money because the supply increased.

So do sane proponents, the disagreement is over whether that inflation necessary negates the gains from transfers on the lower end or not.

> Proponents reject this, pointing to MMT and the concept of fiat currency.

MMT says that government spending causes inflation (and taxes causes deflation) and, moreover, that those monetary concerns, and not fiscal concerns like a need for artificial balance between revenues + debt and spending when currency is a government creation, is the only real constraint on government taxing and spending policy.

MMT is not a basis for rejecting inflation concerns about UBI; it’s a basis for rejecting deficit-based concerns.
Oh it certainly isn't, but I have always been used to learning on the run and with proper support it wouldn't be such a hassle but I believe that the emphasis they made on unit testing doesn't really help either
I'd say that gradient descent and deep learning have made obsolete whatever cellular automata stuff Wolfram has come up with. Neural nets can approximate any function. Cellular automata has a much more limited range that only includes the generation of some interesting pictures and not much else of interest, IMHO.

To be charitable, if he had some way to mathematically slide between and combine networks of cellular automata, he might have something, but it would probably just end up reinventing deep learning and neural nets on a slightly different set of primitives.
