The problem with bazel and nix is that they are totalizing build systems. They want everything to bend to their worldview, and ask for an all-in commitment. Cargo etc require somewhat less of a commitment.
That's not a stupid rule. Right-on-red is quite unsafe for pedestrians.

It varies widely by state.
For me it was that it worked mostly just like Kakoune (or at least, the parts i used of Kakoune) with nicely integrated LSP. It also had TreeSitter based movement options and themes, which is really interesting too. A potential future where vim-like navigation is done on TreeSitter objects is attractive.

The potential DSP integration is nice too. And to top it all off, it's made in a language i enjoy and within the first 24h of using it i had a PR made for a small feature i wanted. Being able to contribute in a language i enjoy was nice.
You know, I prefer the EU/Asia risk-averse approach to startup funding.

IHMO the problem to the US-style approach of (relatively) easy money is that for every good startup that comes out of it, you've got dozens or hundreds of at best "Me Too - but slightly different" companies (i.e. minimal competitive differentiators), and at worst snake oil companies doing everything possible to sell unsuspecting customers a product that is far far far too immature and with IT infrastructure burn rates that would make your local Fire Department wince.

In the US if you're good salesman who can tell a good story then you're probably 2/3 of the way there towards getting some funding, there's just so much money sloshing around the system and so much FOMO.
If you do the math, it's amazing what even a little bit of writing EVERY DAY can do.

200 words, about two sides of lined paper hand written, every single day for a year, is 70,000 words. The first draft of a short novel. Even if you spend another year polishing, that's a novel every two years.

One writing teacher said the main problem for most would-be writers is that they don't actually do any writing, not even what Anne Lamott calls a shitty first draft.
Swimming also restrict air flow to the lungs: you must inhale quickly and hold your breath during parts of the strokes. Possibly the effect shown here contributes to swimming being such a good exercise and might be useful in comparing the physiology of swimming with that of similar sports (e.g., rowing).

Would this regimen improve the blood pressure of swimmers? Swimmers are already breathing under restrictive conditions (possibly as much as an hour or two each day) so my guess is "No".

But if I can get any significant part of a swimming workout in minutes per day, I'll take it!
How I (and US policymakers) got inflation wrong
This and don't even get me started about the cars coming up a freeway on-ramp that seem to think the yield sign is for the people already on the road. :/
> When the company threw him a lunchtime party against his wishes, it triggered a panic attack and he left abruptly to spend his break in his car. Four days later, after his office managers confronted him about his reaction to the party, he was fired from the Northern Kentucky company, court records show.

The headline sounds ridiculous, but this detail explains everything. Getting fired because you had a panic attack in response to an optional thing you explicitly told them not to do? That's lunacy.
Really wonder what the though process was regarding firing an employee who told them not to throw a party because they have an anxiety disorder, for having an anxiety attack.
>For instance, the Chinese can't sell fentanyl into the US market. Why not? Because trade isn't a right, it's a privilege.

Take any example of a state abusing or denying someone their rights. Next observe that those were not rights, those were privileges. This chain of logic works well if you believe that rights originate from the state.

>“Everything in the State, nothing outside the State, nothing against the State.”
Is that really security theater if they removed his access to the building, alerted management, and sent out security reminders that he should have have access to the building? What's the "Theater" part?

That sounds like better security than most companies where they have a hard time just removing an employee's access, and even if they do, they have no established process to tell employees that he shouldn't be allowed in.

I left my badge at home once, I was wearing my company logo jacket and tailgated in behind a couple employees I didn't know, one even held the door open for me. If I'd been terminated and banned from the office, I'd have had no trouble getting back into the office.

We've instituted a "no-tailgating" policy since then, but there's no enforcement and is widely ignored.
I got a lawyer to look over mine when I was leaving AWS, not for a direct competitor of the team I was on but for a company that does work in an area Amazon is involved in. Washington state.

His advice was thus: technically I am prohibited from working at this new company; Amazon would need to be aware of my new role to enforce it; courts have expressed criticism of over broad non competes so I could
challenge it if it came to that. I was not L7+ so his added advice was basically keep your head down for the next 18 months.

It’s bullshit though, and from now on I will always engage an employment lawyer before signing on anywhere. He looked over my new company’s non competes and they are much more reasonable.

> and many other tie-ins like completion, snippets, formatting, and things like auto-pairs

This is usually where I check out when I get the urge to redo my vim setup. The fact that completion, auto pairs, snippets, and something like endwise are all at odds with each other isn't something I want to deal with.
Listen, your comments on all these threads make it clear you’re seriously pessimistic about psychedelic medicine, and that’s perfectly ok.

What bothers me is the incessant pushing of this agenda:

> anyone ending up in a psychedelic research study is doing so because they think psychedelics are promising for mental health and they want to try it out

> maybe the real reason psychedelics show efficacy in depression is that they are a sort of super-placebo

This amounts to uninformed armchair dismissal that is inconsistent with a growing body of scientific evidence, and easily refuted by a cursory survey of recent literature and clinical trial results.

Surely you’re familiar with double blind randomized placebo controlled studies? I’ve linked you to recent ones in other comments.

These methods aren’t perfect and your concerns certainly have merit in general - I just don’t understand why you continue to make these broad and suggestive claims without any supporting evidence.
Political chicanery and despotism had their part I suspect. SO sure the proximal cause might be narrowed down, but it hardly seems critical to know exactly how somebody was tortured to death.
Imagining there is a continuity of situations where a "point" is reached seems wrong.

Climate activists have tried this line of argument and it doesn't work at all. The world is on fire any pain we endure today is a fraction of the expected pain in the future. Ok sure.

The lie is that the ends can be reached at all. Instead we will just have the means, the war.
Amazing how quickly Musk replaced Trump as the world's noisiest man in their minds.
Roundabouts would use less gas compared to stop signs or lights. A car is going to use the most fuel when it goes from stopped to moving. A roundabout will reduce the amount of cars that have to come to a complete stop, unlike a stop sign or light where stopping is mandatory.
I find that CBD-rich hemp still gets me "high", but the effect is extremely therapeutic. I hope low-THC cannabis is more widely studied.

High-THC cannabis has a very negative effect on my mind, mood, and motivation. But CBD-rich strains with low THC are perfect for handling my anxiety and autoimmune symptoms.
What? Yes.

(Edit: My comment is terse and I still stand by it, but one more note: Don't let age affect your ability to do good work. Do today's work in the fashion of our day—not complaining about how things were done better in the past. It's similar to a new hire saying "at X company we did it Y way and it was soooo much better" incessantly. As long as you don't do that, then, why would it ever be a problem?)
> Lots of people used LSD in the 60s and 70s and as far as I can tell they didn't usher in a new age of love, peace, and tolerance.

I would argue that LSD helped end the war in Vietnam. It's also not a fair criticism because governments around the world demonized LSD and made it a crime to partake, so you took it in an atmosphere of fear and paranoia. Hallucinogenics are only now given a fair test. There's already lots of anecdotal evidence that hallucinogens changed lives for the better (Steve Job, Richard Alpert.) A lot more has to change before a new age of love, peace and tolerance comes about, things like human greed and selfishness. No one is claiming that LSD turns people into angels.
You're a brave soul, Michael. :)
> The kernel is deployed in hundreds of millions of devices...

There are billions of Android phones alone. Not to mention the huge numbers of servers, IoT devices, embedded computers, and all the SBCs in my closet.
Being employed means that you have to share certain personal information with the company, like your birth date, your address, your social security number, etc. But you don't expect the company to turn around and dox you to other employees. I'd argue that it was not the company's place to share this person's birth date with anyone, it was the company's place to keep private information private.
His "reaction" was leaving the situation to deal with his panic attack.

His employer refused to make reasonable accommodations for his disability, which in this case was no action at all. Further, they did the exact opposite of what he'd asked for in advance.
The signs say single file; but a duo or trio of cyclists decide the rules don’t apply to them.

It’s a danger to them, to drivers, and to other cyclists (the ones coming down the other direction).

In my experience it’s not a constant problem but it’s not a trivially small number either.
It may not be very hard to maintain, but you still have to maintain it. Whereas if you just have a collection of articles that you want to keep around as an archive, if you convert them to a static site, you can basically forget about them afterward...
That side street is probably full of stop signs? We don't go out of our way to ride on busy roads.
I know all about EXIF, but whenever I'm taking pictures that may end up being used in legal disputes[1], I deliberately turn on this feature. THis is for multiple reasons: EXIF data can be easily faked, everyone knows how watermarked timestamps work, and the baked-in timestamp will persevere across all subsequent media conversions (jpeg-to-bmp, emails, uploads, print-to-paper,picture-of-a-picture, PDFs)

1. e.g. pictures after a traffic accident, received goods in poor condition, or state of property at start of a lease.
"Unwanted birthday party" is such a misleading thing to claim as the root cause, reminds me of the McDonald's coffee case, framing very legitimate lawsuits as frivolous.

Employer put him into a bad situation against his will, when he'd warned them and it wasn't necessary for his job, and then fired him when he had the reaction he'd foreseen. Obvious wrongful termination and horrific management.
I'll submit another: TheChieftan on YouTube has referred to it as "emotional support armor".

He posted a good video on his views (and cautions!) on some of this subject matter to date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9pVEP0AzZ4
A childish response.

Feel free to address the points that I and others have brought up.
"Better question, and this is something I see time and again, how do sites missing such basic functionality even get any funding to start with? "

By abandoning ethics and building a moat so that those with ethics can't breach the moat.

"In the early days, reddit's community was built up thanks to hundreds of fake profiles created by the site's co-founders, according to Steve Huffman (coincidentally, a reddit co-founder). To make the site look populated and diverse, Huffman and Alexis Ohanian, the other founder, would submit links of their own choosing, each time under a new username."

Is there a cyclist road all around the roundabout then that easy to get on and off?
Half a million seems like a lot for this ordeal. He shouldn't have been fired but I'm not sure that payout is proportional. You think it's too small but I think it's too big.
I've never suffered a panic attack personally, but being forced into a panic attack by your employer then being fired for it doesn't sound like an easy way to make money.

You might look to see whether there is a law on the books that allows you to "proceed cautiously" or similar language, after a certain amount of time without it changing. (It's probably intended for cars at lights that are malfunctioning, but to my mind it should apply.)
Absolutely, most bicyclists in the area where I live almost never actually stop at stop signs and would even make hand gestures if a stopped car does not yield to them when they zoom through.
As someone who also does not like being the center of attention, I wish this man got more money, and that this company would go bankrupt. FUCK these people. They directly caused this man to have two panic attacks, BOTH of which could have been avoided by literally doing nothing, and then they fire him?

Something that drives me absolutely nuts is that most people assume that anyone who wishes to avoid social interaction is actually really just too afraid to be social, and that forcing them to do so is an acceptable thing to do. It's not! It's incredibly callous and insensitive and it's something that should only ever be considered by extremely close friends. Please respect people's wishes when they say they don't want a party, especially if you are just coworkers!
ZFS, NFS, iSCSI, and CIFS services are quite superior on Solaris compared to Linux. On Linux each of these services are a bad joke, but on Solaris they are rock solid.

I think anyone would be a fool to use software licensed from Oracle, but if that part doesn't bother you, on the technical side there may be benefits.
Hey, I am the author of pcb-rs ; thanks for sharing this, and showing interest! I would be happy to answer any questions about it!
I don't use either one, but just from reading the comments here: using treesitter for syntax highlighting and having LSP configured out of the box (for kakoune I think you need to install an extension called kak-lsp).
This is cool. But not really novel. The US has been able to do this for at least 10 years.
It’s very possible you will not ultimately get the next job. Most competent firms that are near competitors will ask if you are bound by a non-compete as part of the recruiting process. Even if ultimately unenforceable, a “yes” could stop you right there. A “no” could be something problematic with the new employer down the road.
So it’s a wrongful dismissal suit, not even “just” having a party after being explicitly told not to.

Person has an anxiety disorder, so explicitly said not to have a party. His manager had a party anyway, triggering a panic attack. He ran away to his car to recover and they fired him.
Airpods maybe?
I can’t answer your specific question, but I would really encourage you to think more about the AWS offer.

Having spent a decade at Amazon, across several organizations, I don’t recommend it as a place to work.

There was a NYTimes article about the company in 2015. Everything there still reflects the day to day culture of the company.

For me Amazon took an unprecedented toll on my mental and physical health. I did earn enough money, but I immensely regret all the time I didn’t spend with my family over the years, all the friendships that faded, and the constant reminder from leaders how I could always do better - nothing was ever good enough.

Amazons leadership fundamentally does not see their employees as human beings. As I grew the ranks over the years, I was directly coached on removing myself from certain day to day interactions, because it would simplify decision making if I didn’t have an interest in my own people, that simply forming just work bonds was a conflict of interest in terms of doing what’s “right” for the company.

Any non compete you’re concerned about isn’t even the tip of the iceberg.

Good luck to you.
It's worth reading the discussion between author and Nicolas Bonneel that starts with the first comment below the article. The author's explanation is very helpful regarding this point.

The main point is that in the paper's randomly generated numbers example, the DK effect disappears if you measure the actual "skill" and the "prediction error" in separate, independent experiments. In the example if you take a "person" and conduct the test you get a totally random result, and you get another, independent totally random result if you test them again. If you perform your "actual skill" measurement using one of those test runs and your "skill estimation error" measurement using another, the DK effect disappears completely.

So, to the extent the result of your skills test has any "noisiness" to it, if you analyse it the way Dunning & Kruger did, the autocorrelation resulting from using the same sample of that noise in the two things you're trying to assess the relationship between will show up as a powerful DK effect, and can easily swamp any actual correlations in the underlying distribution.

Edit: Also worth mentioning footnote 3 on the article, which points out that the use of quantiles introduces a separate bias for the same reason you mention (about there being a minimum and maximum score).
Ukraine is scanning faces of dead Russians, then contacting the mothers
The article doesn't give enough information to determine whether this was a reasonable judgment. What actually happened when they discussed the event afterwards that led to his termination? That could have been completely justified even if they had originally been in the wrong for ignoring his request.
The AT4 is 15 lbs weapon.

Javelin is a 50 lbs weapon. Sure, some of that weight is computer and night-vision. But most of that weight difference is explosives (I assume the 2nd tandem charge in particular).

NLAW is 28lbs, somewhere in-between.

------

Tandem charges (dual-explosives: first explosion disables reactive armor, second explosion penetrates the tank) basically means carrying 2x warheads with every warhead... its weight and heavy.

Each of those Javelin explosions you see is __TWO__ explosions, timed carefully to defeat Russian reactive armor. Its a sophisticated weapon for sure, but you still have to physically carry all those extra explosives somewhere.
As I said - it's tricky to get them to arm in time. We've seen that problem in practice in videos from Ukraine.
why don't you go to the perfectly good barely used road one block away? bikes have a right to the road too
If it's a mistake that even a GitHub employee can make with very heavy consequences, is that entirely the fault of the author?

When Lauda Air Flight 004 crashed because the pilots accidentally deployed the reverse thrusters in air, even though it was the pilot who "made a mistake", Boeing was forced to change their design and now the original design is considered flawed.
Dumb title. He was fired because of his reaction to the birthday party. And he won the lawsuit because of the termination, rightfully so. He didn’t win the lawsuit because of the party, he won because of wrongful termination.
HN is a fraction of Twitter's size, and moderation isn't going to scale linearly. I doubt anybody, including Elon could really solve this problem apart from taking the reddit approach.
I must try an anechoic chamber one day - I must!

I never got the 'nee-naw nee-naws' from DMT or Ayahuasca when I did such things, but I absolutely did when going deep on Nitrous Oxide. DMT was always entirely (and oh my gosh so absolutely) visual for me.
I guess-- yeah. Obey the law. Take the right-of-way when you have it. Don't do unexpected things.

I don't want "charity" from drivers (as a cyclist, pedestrian, or other driver). I want them to act predictably and safely.

So many things in the world would be better if people just did the thing they're supposed to do. If that's "negativity" so be it.

They're not doing anything nice. That's my point. They're putting themselves and others in danger for no benefit. I don't want my bicycle to be immediately in front of their car and, more than likely, they're taking more of my time than if they'd just driven on.
Good for him. The callous disregard for _pre-stated_ wishes and then trying to claim that "akstually HE was the real risk to OUR employees" shows that any sense of "friendly workspace" they are trying to encourage by having birthday parties (??!) for employees is just a thin-veneer over what is more reminiscent of a scene from "Office Space".
Yes. I also like subways, buses, indoor plumbing, garbage collection, libraries, streets, sidewalks, police, fire safety, postal service, and all sorts of things that we share as members of a society.
That article is almost a year old.

They made over 5 billion in GAAP income last year. 1.5 billion of that was regulatory credits. They currently make money making and selling vehicles.

SQLite has JSON support via the json1 extension[1]. IIRC it's bundled into SQLite by default in recent releases. As for arrays, you're SOL unless you use JSON arrays. :)

I cannot describe how much I love jq. Best new (to me) tool I discovered in all of 2020.

Once you get the hang of it the syntax feels extremely powerful. The only other thing it reminded me of is the first time I learned enough SQL to be dangerous.

You really, really are going to want to check jq out at least a little if you want to improve the state of the art in this area. It has an excellent manual btw.

Edit: you ask about "metaformats" such as object per newline. jq handles this well too
That does sound like a more interesting article. Let's seed some ideas here.

I'd like to pay employees $5 each time they high five each other. With no limits really on the amount of high fives they can do. We could use smart trackers on wristbands to count the high fives. Become the highest hive five density office place in the world.

See if we can really prove or disprove all these studies about high fives and the culture of performance. https://www.helloteam.com/did-you-know-high-fives-are-proven...
