The point is measuring the consumption of a device while you do not need it and it is not performing any meaningful work.

Your fridge is never in that state. Even when the compressor is not working, the fridge is still functioning and performing work. It is sensing temperature and pressure and time and then making decisions based on those inputs.

Your laptop is not performing meaningful work when it is updating while you are away. It can do that in the background while you look at cat pictures.
That’s fair. I’m not in any position to judge the quality of the school. I was just surprised that the school called while I was filling out the sign-up form.
> If they drop it on the floor without telling me that is totally shitty.

No, it's the ONLY reasonable thing to do when something like 98% of all SMTP traffic on the Internet is spam.

If mail administrators bounce back an explanation for every "bad" message:

1) Their outbound mail volume would go through the roof.

2) The host sending all the bounces would look like a spammer to _other_ automated spam-classification systems.

3) In the unlikely event that a spammer actually reads bounches, they could use the feedback to tweak their systems to avoid the spam filters.
What power level is the system at? That sounds reasonable for a system that's in its active mode (ACPI S0) but not under load, but would be extremely high for any other sleep mode (S1-S5).
It's possible to disagree with someone politically while simultaneously complaining about how poorly people are communicating.

I'm not part of an enemy tribe, I'm in the same situation you are trying to sort everything out.
It's about to become uncontrollably bad. With really powerful artificially generated writing available, spammers will develop it to be indistinguishable from real human writers when analyzed by google's own machines. We're going to have billions of websites that are 100% generated, with content that most humans can't distinguish as entirely generated, and a LOT of it is going to be wrong. It will completely drown out human written content to the point that websites using humans will give up, and there will only be spam left.

Nurses are paid well compared to the average worker in the US, but not compared to the service they provide. My wife, an RN BSN, was hit with a pay cut due to hospital system being bought out by another larger one. That's right, a pay cut, during a pandemic. Now on a fixed pay scale, with no raises built in. $3/hr shift differential for working night shift in no way makes up for the strain it puts on your body, your free time, and your relationships. Tons of attrition in her hospital and department, no signs of retention bonuses or anything other than a "We <3 our healthcare heroes" sign out front.
It's funny how people tend to assume their own characteristics are global phenomena, or at least common; isn't it?

Looks like the actual number is somewhere closer to 2.8% - 16.4% of people [https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28554367/]. (This study was specifically about "shy bladder" but that seems a pretty close proxy)
$employer uses MS for email hosting. MS recently started dumping every single email from every single Apache mailing list in the spam folder. These are mailing lists to which I've been subscribed for a decade, to which I regularly send emails, and which probably have thousands of subscribers. There is no option for me to whitelist the mailing list, only individual senders, of which there are hundreds.

Everything about megacorp spam filtering is broken.
I wonder why the result so often repeats a word that isn't repeated (if it appears at all) in the original.
> “Serious” students are largely only found in degree programs that have weeder courses.

I went to a top 20 university, even higher ranked CS program. There were plenty of weeder courses. There were also plenty of students that were only there to get the piece of paper they believed, probably rightly, was necessary to get the job they wanted. All of the CS courses were recorded, attendance never mandatory for lectures. It was not uncommon at all for lectures to be less than half full due to students watching a months worth of lectures right before exams.
> Insurance is the only industry where they agree to pay for something (in this case, "medical care"), but then after service has been rendered can decide to pay less, or not pay at all, or stop paying that provider altogether

This is precisely why I think we will never be able to effectively treat healthcare as a "free market" with tools like HSAs, posted price sheet, etc. The end user can never know the true cost of their procedure until it's long over (sometimes years later) and often don't get to choose at all.
Agreed. Full stack to me means the same thing, a generalist web developer that can work either on the backend or the front end or more generally web services or UI portion of the application.
I’d give that honor to Rocket League. Soccer, but more ridiculously/amazingly American.
>I don't think it's quite that simple; the average temperature has increased by 1°C

Yes, there are regional variations. But India sits right near the average. So this isn't a real problem for my analysis. See:

> Right now I am on a six month wait to see a rheumatologist. Why? Capitalism.

Typically that's anti-capitalist: there are very strong government and regulatory limits on who can perform the services, and for self-serving reasons, they maintain shortages of supply. The free-market capitalist solution would be for prices to rise to a point where supply and demand are balanced, either by supply increasing (people switching fields), or reduced demand from prices rising.
Frankly, I'm just done with advertisements and commercial "speech" being normalized everywhere, including in articles, regular speech amongst humans, and more. I've been done with commercialism fake "culture" for a LONG time. And the more we have, the worse the pollution is with genuine conversations.

I think that's the real problem with articles like this. The moment I realized it was a commercial piece masquerading as a scholarly meta-article, I have to question all the previous discussion they have. Is it right? What are they trying to sell? What viewpoint are they trying to get me to follow?

Advertising is codified monetary deceit. We've moved long past "Buy my soda cause its yummy", to an ever-present dread of "if you dont have this, you'll be sorry" in a round-about way.

> should articles which point out problems be written completely independently of the people creating solutions to those problems?

If there's a commercial motive to use/buy/rent their shhit, absolutely yes.

> It presents scientific arguments and is well-sourced.

Depends. What are the biases of their arguments that the underlying commercialism is modifying? It now needs its own analysis to see if they were trying to sell me something different on dread or FOMO.
The FLIR One or Pro are in the $220-300 range if I remember correctly. They attach to your iphone and use that as the screen an maybe for some processing. In any case it works pretty well for most personal applications you might run across.
I think it was the opposition to the Parental Rights bill that allowed for the widespread support of removing the special privileges. I think that many in Florida including the some representatives wanted to remove the privileges before but couldn't find any reason that was popular enough. Things like promoting prepubescent trans children on TV never made the headlines so they couldn't run on that. When Disney opposed a bill whose stated goal is to protect children, which the majority of people in Florida regardless of political party support, while at the same time Disney had multiple employees arrested for human trafficking it opened an opportunity. The politicians took it and removed the privileges.

I don't believe it would have happened at this time if Disney had not opposed the Parental Rights bill. Like I said above I believe it opened the opportunity up to do it. If Disney hadn't opposed this bill the next time they did something unpopular with the average Floridian they would have lost their special privileges.

I think there is a long list of things that Disney has been supporting for years that the average Floridian opposes and considers CA values. I think promoting trans kids and putting warnings on old movies are good examples.

I think the politicians who gave Disney an exception wanted to use Disney, but I don't think they actually supported Disney. Disney's support for various woke thing was widely known by conservatives. I doubt those involved with the exception supported Disney back then. They just didn't have the opportunity to implement what they wanted.
It would be easier to have a frank discussion without using “grooming” where it should not be.

Seems to be a lot of that recently, with other words and terms as well, which is sad.
I can't help but notice you haven't volunteered anything good to say about the country either.

I went looking and there isn't much to find, on wikipedia anyway. They have some substantial mineral resources, but diamonds are the only resource being developed. They get much of their power from hydroelectric, but that's because they import all their petroleum on truck and barge; the CAR is one of the least electrified countries in the world. They have substantial arable land, but most of the population survives on subsistence farming and bush meat; 45% of the population experiences high acute food insecurity. Efforts to raise livestock are hampered by tropical parasites. Most of their economy is "off the books" (smuggling, untaxed, unreported) trade of diamonds, ivory, bushmeat and alcohol.
So the problem with the princess is that you need to hold your hand in front of a proximity sensor to make it play.
It has the same issue I mentioned in the post, that it announces to everyone that something embarrassing is happening. And the sound was annoying.
Plus you needed to mount it with screws onto a wall, which I guess would be fine if it didn't have the other disadvantages mentioned.

Loodio plays chill music and requires no interaction. Plus it has the night lights and the display, which I want to make larger and have other features planned for it.
This is my antidotal experience as well from extended family and friends. Many (mostly young women) weren't really sure what to do and picked nursing because "it pays well" and had a romanticized/simplistic view of nursing. Didn't seem particularly interested or passionate about it, so I can see how many would lose interest once the reality of the hard work in the midst of a pandemic.

We've created so much regulation that no one person can know it all - not the legislators, not the agents/bureaucrats, not the judges, and certainly not the workers or patients who would be most affected by them.
> If you put two people in a room, and each one only speaks one distinct language, and their only goal is to communicate with each other. How long before they can effectively communicate?

They can (somewhat) effectively communicate right from the start, and third party observers who speak neither language can mostly follow along too. Demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3qqYyQC9ww
I'll take this viewpoint into consideration, thank you.

My previous philosophy was that few projects past MVP stage are deploy and done, and it's a major long run time sink to have to deal with the problems not having the basic tooling creates.

I like to think about it like this: A project looks like y = mx + b, where b is the overhead of inital setup, y is the output, x is dev time and m is the efficiency of devtime. If you skip the setup, you lower the b to 0, but with enough required y you actually end up paying more cost (and time = money since someone is cutting devs a check) than a project with more efficient dev time (lower m).

I had thought that in general testing + automation is worth it in the long run. Thanks for your input, perhaps my previously held philosophy is based on the flawed idea that all projects have some degree of maintenance required.
I think you nailed the key with "mutual respect." That to me is what distinguishes children from adults. Some people achieve it at age 12, others maybe never in life. I'd rather be around a mutually respectful 12 year old than a same-aged person who still thinks and acts like a child.
There's probably a pretty big correlation between expense and how interested you are in actually learning. A super-famous super-expensive MIT is obviously going to have a different student population than a cheaper and less prestigious institution.
In the article, they mention that a 25V signal at 1kHz produced 66dBA, while the same 25V signal at 10kHz produced 86dBA. That suggests the curve is not very flat.
Yeah, it is so bad that you can't even use the simple "it is made by a third party" excuse, especially considering how much control Apple usually exerts over things like this. In this case I'm pretty sure the directive from Apple was specifically to make the site as bland and un-Apple as possible.
Athletes and celebrities are paid because of economic productivity? It definitely seems like social value based on restricted supplies.

If there are lot of participants in a labor pool, naturally wages will be under constant pressure. The barriers to entry also play a role.

For those RN's quitting, they will simply be replaced by foreign workers. It's similar to how certain jobs no longer have locals in it anymore, instead relying on migrant workers. It's the reality in Singapore for instance and naturally creates an implicit caste system.

Now the markets have evolved/evolving where incumbent locals are no longer granted the same privileges they once enjoyed, somebody who does not have the luxury to consider alternatives will be the ones who fill the jobs, and get the blame when the descendants of local incumbents cannot make their way back.

This is sort of the system I am seeing emerging and it explains the anxiety of us vs them. In reality, the government, markets simply do not care for such superficiality. It seeks to accomodate those who are productive, not sit around waiting for higher powers to "fix". And as such, this dynamic ensures wages in certain industries stagnate, and it's especially true in markets with the characteristics I mentioned above: low barrier to entry and abundant supply of labor.
Hah, that is really interesting. I suspect this is to stop people from paying with a large quantity of coins to be an ass. Any idea how that plays out when trying to change bags of coins at a bank?

coin-op vendor: I would like to deposit all of my bags of coins.

bank: Sorry sir, your money is no good here unless you break it into smaller quantities.

I knew a contract security guard that worked for a laundromat. They paid him in bags of quarters.

>> or pursue graduate studies because they lack this important piece of paper.

It's pretty disingenious to imply the only thing traditional degree-holding grad students have over somebody with only industry is a "piece of paper". I say this as a former grad student who (with a degree) came out of industry. There are plenty of underwhelming students with only academic experience, but if you had industry-credit and a few terms, where would you get the other skills that I'd argue are far more important than practical experience?
> Now suppose though that each thumbnail in the grid can open a bigger preview dialog that has more images, a bigger description, and it's own add to wishlist button. You can click that button, and it does the same thing. You close the dialog, but now your grid item needs to reflect that it's already been added to the wishlist. These things get really tiresome to keep building, something that I'm sure isn't new to you if as you say, you've been in software a while.

I've done this many times, using plain-old jQuery and server-side rendering, and it really isn't that hard. The "conventional" way is to (of course), render the preview(s) with classes or data attributes on the updatable elements s.t. you can quickly identify the elements that need to change (say $('.wishlist-count').text(updatedCount) for the sake of argument).

For more complex things (let's say you need to be able to insert a complicated, but slightly different, object in the wishlist, for example), you can render a template into the page, dup it on wishlist addition, and populate the variable data in any number of different ways. You can even create JS objects that encapsulate this kind of logic (e.g. Wishlist.add(itemNumber)) without much additional effort. No framework required.

Now, I grant you that when you need to do this for many different kinds dynamic elements that all interact in different ways, or when you need to absolutely guarantee minimal re-rendering, you might want to jump to a framework. But I still feel that most front-end people these days instinctively rule out simpler approaches that would work just fine, because they're prematurely optimizing. Or worse...because they simply don't know anything other than React.
Yes, but is the startup time of Django an issue? Besides that you'd have to return your data in the shape that the API gateway expects from lambdas.

Returning a 500 would look something like this:

{
"statusCode" : 500,
"headers" : {
"content-type": "text/plain; charset=utf-8"
},
"body" : "Some error fetching the content"
}

Not sure if you'll see this - going through old tabs - but I was curious, and just in case: what are the practical differences between Xen and KVM here?
One I've yet to see mentioned here is Security.

It's an industry built on top of a cat and mouse game and so will always be required in some capacity, and things like breaches and fines are recession invariant.

Skimp on security at your own risk.
It's not entirely accurate that Lambda pulls container images from ECR at start-up time. Here's me talking about what happens behind the scenes (which, in the real world, often makes things orders of magnitude faster than a full container pull): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-7j0QlGwFk

But your broader point is correct. Cold starts are a challenge, but they're one that the team is constantly working on and improving. You can also help reduce cold-start time by picking languages without heavy VMs (Go, Rust, etc), but reducing work done in 'static' code, and by minimizing the size of your container image. All those things will get less important over time, but they all can have a huge impact on cold-starts now.

Another option is Lambda Provisioned concurrency, which allows you to pay a small amount to control how many sandboxes Lambda keeps warm on your behalf: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/provisioned-con...

I'm in Vancouver as well and can confirm. Salaries have been inching up over the years but they are not nearly the same as say across the border in Washington. The real estate cost however, is very much on par with cities like Seattle or San Francisco.
> Why on earth would any country, rich or poor, want a deflationary currency outside its control?

No government would want such a thing if given a choice. However, when a country's fiat currency becomes worthless, the choice is a different one.

> "Controlled by no one" is not a feature for governments (or mature financial systems), it's a bug.

As far as governments are concerned, that is absolutely correct. However, given the choice between a currency nobody controls and one controlled by another government, the former is clearly less onerous.
That's true, but isn't that kind of a hassle on both sides?
Why do I want to bloat my pipeline container with a fucking python install including all the libraries? I'd rather pop a single tiny binary in there. Container bloat = slower pipelines.
It also takes an exceptional amount of knee jerk assery to interpret my comment as "change the US system to the Belgian one". The Belgian system is one that works more or less from my experience. Most inhabitants of Germany, France, the Netherlands, and others will claim the same for theirs.

Nobody is claiming that the US should copy the system of some specific country verbatim. But it's equally dumb to dismiss the common traits of these other systems, and say "nah, let's do just the opposite."
The one I think you are missing is that nurses are and have been overworked for a WHILE now. (that's what I get from /r/nursing)

Hospitals have made sure they hire JUST ENOUGH nurses to cover shifts and no more. With covid hitting, this blew out the number of nurses needed resulting in a lot of "I know you've already worked 60 hours, but can you do another 20? we are short!".

Rather than hiring permanent people or upping salary, Hospitals have instead elected to just use travel nurses and an extreme premium so as to avoid any salary increases.

The fix is one that Hospital admins don't want. Pay your nurses more and hire more than the minimum to cover shifts so a nurse being out sick doesn't result in another working a 80 hour week.

So, instead it's been day old pizza with superhero stickers.
Objection, your honor!

I sold private whisky casks to individuals or groups. Before the pandemic, I would sit down at the table with them and guide them through a tasting, several hours long. My close rate was close to 50%.

With the pandemic, I switched to shipping samples and moderating the tasting online via Zoom or Teams. My close rate dropped to noise level.

I don't think I fundamentally changed my "tactics", and since it involved drinking more than a few sips of alcohol, I never required the customer to sign the order form in my presence.

In my experience, physical presence was waaaay more conducive to sales.
Again, nobody is saying it's impossible to save money. That would be ridiculous. We're saying that there are few low-hanging fruits that have negligible or no impact on your life. The word "negligible" here is applying to the impact on your life by doing the cost-saving thing, not on the dollar amount savings that you get by doing it. Turning off devices when you're not using them is one; you're literally not using it, it doesn't impact you by being off instead of on standby. It's like free money. Switching to a more vegetarian diet is, and I hope this is obvious, much more impactful and more of a life change. Obviously you can save money with life changes.
This is a very well known fact is psychology.
