Reuse doesn't mean it has to be you reusing the item. For example in Germany pretty much all drinks sold have a deposit you pay for the container which you can back by returning the bottle/can. It is then up to the supplier to reuse or recycle it who can be forced or incentivized by legislation to favor reuse. Glass and many plastic bottles here are built for reuse - e.g. the plastic water bottle I happen to have on my desk right now is clearly labeled MEHRWEG-LEIHFLASCHE - reusable loan bottle.
> 3-4 page resumes

That's way too much, even for a long career. Two pages is enough. The more resume there is, the more bullshit you have to read. The career history part should be a list of job-titles and dates, with a brief description of each role, noting any salient achievements. Many recruiters will set aside any resume longer than two pages.
Vertical farming and recirculating aquaculture could revolutionize food production in wealthy nations. Remote work and high housing costs could slow the urbanization trends somewhat.
Is "free speech absolutism" something that Twitter's advertisers (== paying customers) actually want?
My biggest takeaway from this article: this is why I deleted all of those projects from github never to be seen again (prior to private repositories).... the projects where I was just having fun for once and learning instead of being stuck in analysis paralysis and trying to think about 85 different OWASP recommendations at once.

My biggest takeaway from the comment section: thank god that there are more reasonable people than I first assumed.

I have an idea for a hobby/fun webapp I could build that maybe one or two people I know might get use from.... and I'm excited just thinking about it because its going to be low stress and a fun learning experience. Thats what my personal github is. I don't put the link on my resume and I don't really have a desire to either.
I think this is amusing because a lot of those cities are stealing jobs so it is only fair for them to pay.
When I was Syncplicity's desktop client lead, we used SQLite. (Syncplicity is a desktop file synchronization application.)

When I looked around, Dropbox used it too; and so did Bittorrent Sync (Now Resilio)
This is a very important and under-appreciated risk. It makes Musk perhaps a uniquely unsuitable owner Twitter, when measured specifically along the "free speech" and related concerns he expresses. A more free Twitter would be owned by a person or group with very few other interests that could be used as leverage.
Agreed - Twitter self-validation loop. Seems like a lot of older guys are getting caught up in it right now - maybe older brains are more susceptible?
>dehumanize and blame previous generations for the current generations' problems is a dangerous trend.

It's been going on since as long as I've been alive. I'm mid-late GenX and I remember the news constantly telling me my generation is lazy. I remember them doing the same thing with GenY, and now GenZ, neither of which was true outside the norms of every generation. Modern news is a blight on society.

This. I love my macros, even if many of them end up being replaced by code, and some of them only patch up shortcomings in the language.

There will always be shortcomings in any language, and there will always be situations that need to be fixed with a quick hack, even though that is not a long term solution.

And in almost any project I have a few lines of macro magic that almost completely fixes situations where I would otherwise have to resort to terribly complicated C++ templates and slow compile times.
Also, I’ve never seen a brewery with a cnc machine. There is likely a business reason for this.
nothing says "genuinely wants to make a difference to humanity" like buying the #16th ranked social network on a lark
Musk has a plausible sounding reason for everything. But when dismantling a PR department leads to the press not being able to ask Tesla any uncomfortable questions, then "organic press is better" is just as much bullshit as "self-driving is coming next year".

Very easy to solve the only problems I've had with twitter. Stop hiding content behind login prompts. Serverside render direct links to tweets (no infinite loaders/generic errors).
Apparently journalists were pissed because they like PR departments giving them the nice treatment and also writing their articles for them.

Less than 1GB is pretty easy.

Copy-1. Compress a copy and email it to your self.

Copy-2. Burn to a DVDR and keep it on your shelf.

Copy-3. On a USB stick and store where you keep your passport.

Copy-4. On your rolling backups (you have backups right?...).

Copy-5&6. An extra DVDR and USB stick kept off-site (family/friend). Feel free to Encrypt it.

Copy-7. Your rolling backups that you keep off-site. Encrypted.

To be honest, since you already should have a good backup strategy, the cost should be like $5 for a couple USB sticks and DVDrs.
I can jump in here for the delusions part. My knowledge of Musk comes only from watching every video and reading anything he said until about a year ago.

A) FSD has been coming for a while now. The historical record seems to indicate that he was either delusional by at least years, or knowingly lying. I would bet on the prior.

B) he stood in front of everyone at Boca Chica and with a straight face said that the very early Starship prototype behind him was going to orbit. Again, I actually believe maybe he thought it. Which is kinda weird/scary?

To be fair, it is arguable that Musk has accomplished more good-for-the-species stuff than any one human, ever.
> smells of preference

Because it is. My preference, never claimed it wasn't one. But I don't know people that would recommend anything else. VS Code is faster but poorer refactors/debug experience.
It was just a subjective concensus.

I haven't timed the IDEs nor do I intend to in near future.

I think overall the helpfulness was better, and support for bleeding edge features like CodeGen, but I haven't used VS in like year or two.
Thanks for your thanks.

However, I disagree quite a lot with what you've written above. Not really as a matter of historiography - yes, of course, I agree that the history of musical cultures is not the same as the history of mathematics. I agree that musical practice is not rooted in an understanding of numerical relationships. I also agree that the higher level elements of musical composition/improvisation/performance are not sensibly described with math.

However, one half of what defines music as a sensory experience (melody and harmony, the other half being timbre and rhythm/time) is totally, fundamentally, absolutely embedded in the nature of the intervals between pitches. The intervals we use (regardless of any actual absolute pitch selection) and how we use them seem to me to be almost indisputably rooted in the physics/mathematics of the harmonic series even if the development of the musical practice surrounding intervals had been done in complete ignorance of this.

Western musical culture uses a set of terminology and even concepts that obscure the fundamental importance of intervals. The use of scale degrees rather than intervalic terminology means that there is a lack of consistency in naming that isn't necessary (it's really a historical accident), but also a lack of focus on the most important concept for understanding the nature of melody and harmony.

I was really impressed to discover last year that Byzantine musical culture doesn't notate pitch, only intervals. Song melodies are remembered and notated as a series of intervals between the pitches, so that you can start from any note and play something that almost every human being alive will recognize as the same melody (they also do not have octave equivalence, but that's a nother story), even though the actual pitches are totally different. Of course, western musicians can do this too, but consider how much more cognitive load there is in understanding the process when you consider a melody to be made up of specific set of pitches, or a specific set of scale degrees, rather than just a set of intervals.

> But that justification was still only there to describe the practice which had already become common, an explanation of "why this sounds harmonious"

Yes, I agree that the historical ordering is as you describe. We do, however, change our terminology and practice in many other fields as we gain new insight or come to understand better ways of approaching things. I would argue that we could learn from both other musical cultures, and from the numerical/physical understanding of intervals to get to much more rational, consistent terminology and practice when it comes to melody and harmony.
Having attended the New Orleans World's Fair, I was also surprised to see it got so little press. But the key takeaway from that event is that it was awful. Compared to other fairs, '84 in New Orleans was pitiful. The cable car across the river was pointless and took you to a big nothing on the other side. The monorail was also sad and boring, and both were dismantled. Some of the faux architecture was preserved and used at Harvey's casino, I believe, in Reno -- but there was nothing memorable being shown in New Orleans. The most exciting thing I remember is a futuristic round phone booth with seats where you could have a (free) long distance phone call on a speakerphone.

New Orleans is the only world's fair in history to lose money and close early! It certainly couldn't compare with New York or Paris or San Francisco. As a big fan of world's fairs and having visited many sites, I think what killed them is Disney. The easy, year round availability of Epcot (which opened 2 years prior) was the final nail in the coffin for world's fairs in this country.

Now you know how the old school Useneters feel. Welcome to Eternal September.
> The cult of personality is more important than the actual output

There is a quite interesting inverse effect too, though. Musk's actual output is undeniably pretty impressive (I challenge you to watch a rocket land on a drone ship and tell me otherwise!), yet there is a veritable army of people online waiting to suggest in the comments on stories like this that he's just all about memes and personality. Maybe two opposing reality distortion fields with Musk suspended somewhere in the middle?
I can't quite figure out from this post and the posts after if you have any background in social science or not (you have stated you didn't do social science professionally - but I get a nagging feeling you have studied it) - and I'll try to explain why I think it matters. For what it's worth - I wouldn't necessarily object to what you wrote here if you finished with "great example of why people don't take the social sciences seriously" and left it there. I do have a problem with "shouldn't", although in a different setting (i.e. amongst social science people) I would probably argue for "shouldn't".

Full disclaimer - I was a sociological researcher before I started working in IT - and would (I can appreciate the irony given all of this is about DK effect) rate myself as very significantly above average in terms of methodological rigour and mathematical skill compared to other social researchers.

One thing that is taught to social researchers - although I've seen it much less with psychologists - is that social research is fundamentally different from natural sciences in that it is accepted as fundamentally subjective. Now, a radical such as myself will tell you that all research, including natural science, is not entirely objective due to very subjective navigation of selection bias, but putting that to the side - this is an extremely important point when evaluating social research.

Coming back to your original point - I would agree with the points you object to vis-a-vis original DK Effect paper, however, as a social researcher, I am always already coming into reading that paper knowing that I'll have to take it with spoonfulls of salt. There is no need to write the paper in a way that puts in many of the disclaimers you might expect, because we are institutionally taught that these disclaimers apply.

Having said that - one of my peeves with social research, and why I ultimately went away, is that a lot of garbage goes on and gets through peer review. There is almost no proper testing of quantitative instruments and methods. Which is why I agree with your point that it rightfully isn't taken seriously - but I would object to your assertion that it shouldn't be taken seriously. Especially amongst IT professionals who are already going to have a bias against non-STEM. Point out the shortcomings and apply a different interpretive lense, rather than discounting the field completely - as social science can be better and taken seriously if it was held to a higher standard, even with the methodological shortcomings we have today - but it is very often discounted wholesale, which I don't think is going to incentivise the bubble that is forming around it to reform and get better.
Nobody's saying that it's totally impossible for any given divorce to be worse for the children. What people are saying is that it is possible for a given divorce to be better for the children.

I am a child of divorce. It was a defining moment of my childhood, but with the benefit of years I can conclude that I had better relationships with each of my parents after their divorce than before it. Ironically, my parents also had a better relationship with each other after their divorce, though perhaps this is atypical.

If people want to help children of divorce, then make it so that having divorced parents isn't socially stigmatized, and implement social safety nets to reduce the economic uncertainty that accompanies divorce. But trying to keep parents together by any means necessary--no matter the cost--that doesn't help children, because when they grow up thinking that a toxic relationship is normal that only helps to perpetuate the cycle of marital misery that itself has a damaging effect on the well-being of children.
I don't think the person writing is in IT, and people on r/sysadmin said the only way to license Cerner anymore (unless you pay a huge fee) is cloud-hosted Citrix. They probably meant "download Citrix to get to Cerner", but it was billed by IT as "Download Cerner" because the delivery mechanism isn't relevant to the nurse who has to install it.
You can do that or you could also put a readme on your GitHub that it's a place where you explore hobby projects and you are interested in "x, y, and z".

When I go to a GitHub as a hiring manager, I try to get as much signal as I can. You are scared that I'll solely judge you on the code, but I'm looking for metadata. Is this person interested in or exploring problems/technologies that are related to the problems/technologies we are using here? Oh, They are exclusively doing music based coding? INTERESTING. Let's talk about that in the interview.

Oh, They've contributed a bug report to an open source project, lemme see what that looks like. Nice, repro steps are clear.

And yes, some hiring managers are gonna say "welp, this candidate isn't an open source ninja so we don't want them." But that's not all hiring managers.

What is a big turn off for me personally is the "I'm gonna slap something on github to tick the box" group. I had someone submit a resume with a link to their website and a link to their github. The website was literally just a demo site, but they had changed all of the blog titles so it looked like real posts, but if you clicked through, it was all lorem ipsum. The GitHub was also just the code for this site.

I'll take a graveyard of personal exploration everyday over a half-baked sham site. (Note: They could have just been playing around BUT TELL ME THAT! Because it sure looked like an attempt to look the part.)
I'd argue that journalism relies on freedom of speech and Elon punished someone for expressing their opinion. If journalism doesn't require freedom of speech why would twitter?
Because Reddit admins are hands off unless they decide to be hands on. They get involved in the dumbest of things and not involved in important things. And moderators also don’t want to give up power so there’s always the risk of them fucking things up in the subreddit before they are forced out (if they are forced out). So Reddit admins do not take that risk
What I've seen is: use a microscope is used to align the new part with the silkscreen outline. Get it good enough and turn on the heat. The part will self align as the solder melts.

The site doesn't make it clear, but this isn't a full list, since PHP 8.2 will be accepting RFCs until mid-July (see https://wiki.php.net/todo/php82 for the release timeline).

Even though it's incomplete, this page helps to generate excitement about PHP generally, which is a good thing — the PHP community sometimes struggles with its reputation as a dying language.

It's tightly integrated with it, so if not "only for Storybook," then near to it. I like Storybook, but it's not worth implementing solely for visual CI testing IMO.

But phrases like "snapshot testing" and "visual regression testing" are what you you/your FE team should be Googling – hopefully there's a tool out there that fits your existing architecture!

Otherwise, as sibling commenters have noted, a policy of screenshots also works.
> don’t understand how him taking over Twitter can be viewed as a good thing

Worst case, he runs it into the ground and we live in a world without Twitter. Win win.
"Optional" means unused or misused until proved otherwise. No checking and no guarantees can be assumed, and if someone tries to deploy an add-on proof assistant I'd expect managers to see programmers who waste time pursuing some warnings instead of making progress on new features.
This version of Twitter would be much better.

But it might also be much, much smaller.
The news has said a lot of things like this recently and been inaccurate. The “great resignation” somehow is happening at the same time as record-low unemployment for example, where quitting rates go up by only 1%. I don’t trust them any more to report factually about employment trends
It mimics the satisfaction of that intrinsic social need. It's the high fructose corn syrup of socializing, only more toxic.
A few nitpicks.

In the screenshots there is something off.

San Francisco: Sunrise 16:23/Sunset:1:57

Usually times are given in local "target" time, i.,e. sun tends to rise early in the morning and set late in the afternoon, this even if accurate in current location time seems "strange".

London: Sunrise 09:5
Is that 9:50 or 9:05?

Pressure is in hPa only (would that be inches of mercury in imperial?)

Also I believe that for many of the UK/US people using the 24h clock would seem "foreign" (military time?).
Yeah certainly why should they? After all Saudi's regime only does mass executions on it's own territory and only rarely kill opposition inside it's own embassy.
The timelines here are pretty long. Facebook has been around for 18 years, Twitter for 16. That's more than a "fad". These companies are lasting as long or longer than other tech companies, certainly longer than your average start-up.
As I said, the world is big.

But even among the people I know who work at SpaceX, the draw was "I want to work with Musk" rather than "I want to work on rockets."
Resumes are mostly useless in tech. Juniors have too little of note to put on them and Seniors only need to demonstrate enough experience to get a tech screen given the severe shortage in talent. Filtering out someone because they didn’t put enough time into their resume is silly. It’s even more silly when that resume may be a scrape from LinkedIn and may not even be provided by a first party.
In topic of "getting things done", how are Teslas ventillators? How is his submarine for Thai boys? How is his moon tourism which he according to him should've started 4 years ago? How's his "fixxed" traffic with undedground tunnels? How is full self driving ready in two months?

Elon is telling lots and lots of bullshit, but his worshippers are still telling that his different and he meant something different.
I wouldn't be surprised if he gave himself the CEO title, but actually had a president take on almost all normal CEO duties. Eg, as far as I can tell with SpaceX from interviews and such, Gwynne Shotwell really runs SpaceX. Elon jumps between whatever he thinks needs his attention most at the moment, rooting out problems.

As for what he'll do with Twitter.... I don't think anyone really knows how it will turn out. He's proven to be pretty self obsessed (canceling critic's Tesla orders), so maybe he'll use his power to knock down stuff he personally doesn't like (his private jet tracker). Or maybe his talk about free speech is real and he has good ideas on how to actually make social media a benefit to society. I think in his companies' software has been his weakest area (still thinking cameras are enough to do full self driving, which I think out of any project has most failed to materialize his promises?), so maybe he won't understand how to mold a fully software based company. However, maybe he'll just want Twitter to work the way he thinks Twitter should work as a user, knock down a bunch of unnecessary BS (eg the insistent push towards algorithm timeline) and force his hand on features people really want (eg, the ability to edit Tweets.)
As far as I have been able to gather he is an engineer of historic significance like Brunel and Stevenson. He does get involved in engineering, and quite evidently "gets involved" way better than any other hands on technology investor alive.
Starts up a reusable rocket company after Blue Origin has started with the same basic ambitions - achieves it and remains the only reusable space launch system in the World for 7 years and counting... and is a good way through building a model carrying 150 tonnes to orbit, made out of stainless steel. I cant appreciate how to chalk that exceptional success up to an ability to hire talent that can push him of the way at the right time, but even that alone would be a great gift and demonstrated in multiple super successful technology ventures.
Telsa's self driving is while incomplete, also the most capable that has yet been produced or revealed to the world. The idea that Lidar is the secret of the final success is your hunch, I'm inclined to agree with Elon that its a software achievement - it certainly is in humans.
