You are making the mistake of getting 100% of your fulfillment from work and putting 100% of your career bet on your job. If you are highly talented and creative and good at making or creating things, you should never be trying to pin 100% of your aspirations on your job.

Likewise, if you have stopped learning, that is a big problem.

Instead you should be diversifying. Work less. No one will notice or care. Put in 40% effort at work, arrange your job so that you can get by and dedicate the other 60% of your energy to organizing something outside of work.

A community; a program; an event; etc. something non commercial (at first) where you can gain total freedom and control.

At work you will never get control. That was my experience. I also found that my excess need to create and ambition were largely a liability. You have a job. You get paid to sit in some box. If your ambition makes you want to outgrow the box, they won’t like it.

Grow your ambitions outside the company and keep learning and growing there.

Being management - my experience is it is a different set of skills and personality. Your skills atrophy and you become subject to politics. If you want to manage, hire someone off UpWork and go have fun.

If you want to mentor, found a mentorship network.

You are better off constructing your Plan B outside of work, learning all the skills you think you are missing there.

Your problem is boredom, underutilization, lack of growth, lack of learning. Becoming management at your current company won’t fix any of those problems it will make them worse.

I was surprised to see an update but am glad there is.
Meanwhile Redis seems to do Rethink's job but also act as a cache or more advanced distributed scenarios use some event queue.
But classic and nosql databases have caught up as well and provide change streams/notificatons.

Actually, consols were more complicated than I imagined. They were 'redeemable at the option of the government'. So they're not just a simple income flow; they're some form of option.
> It is unfortunate that a science communicator would express her research preference in such a way.

It is disappointing, and more unfortunately pretty much her personal brand now. There are, as she seems to have discovered, a lot of eyeballs to be had when you bash things that are poorly understood and already looked down upon for it.

She's a fine physicist and her points have merit, but she's smart enough to be perfectly aware that rather than improving the field through discussions with peers what she's doing here is just capitalizing on that distaste people have for their work and doing what she can to undermine them.

It's a bit of a shame that neural networks are weak in this area because it would be incredible to have a good tool to approximate inverse functions in general. The fact that we almost never see neural networks being used as a tool for this type of work is evidence of this limitation.

It's funny you say. I haven't actually used NNs much in my research but my background is in math and in my spare time I'm a maintainer for SciPy working on special and statistical functions, often the exact kind of stuff you mentioned.

I might take up your challenge and write a blog post about it or something if I get any success.

Anyway, I wasn’t trying to invalidate the author’s general point, just point out a fun fact about his example.
That "logic" could also be reversed just as easily. Someone with poor professional skills might feel more pressure to compensate by "looking sharp". Neither is actually "logic" but just post hoc justification of bias that generalizes a subset of cases without any data on their prevalence when in reality, that prevalence is highly contextual.

In my experience, some people place a high priority and gain significant pleasure from looking sharp, while others consider it a chore and would prefer to minimize the time spent on it. Thus a significant part of the "looking sharp" signal is measuring preference and priorities rather than level of successful execution.

In addition, issues with hygiene are more common in people with ADHD, autism etc so if you over apply this metric you may end up excluding some very smart, neurodiverse individuals.

If you see a rundown looking restraunt, you might conclude it isn't worth trying, but you'd be better off looking at how busy it is or the reviews. A rundown restraunt with a line out the door is probably gonna be better than a sharp looking restraunt with no customers, especially if they are side by side (in the same context). Beyond that, if I see a sharp restraunt and a dingy restraunt, both with lines out the door, I will pick the dingy one because I see that as signaling higher confidence that the consistent quality of their food will drive all the repeat business they want.

Edit: I'd also point out that "smart looking" is intricately tied into social class status signaling in many contexts.
Perhaps not just as far though? I don't know how true it is, but I've heard that Lithuanian is considered the living language that is closest to proto-Indo-European.

English is interesting in that it has been mixed up with so many different branches of the tree, Saxon, Scandinavian, Latin, French, etc during different periods. Sometimes it has synonyms coming from eg Norse and French, where the PIE root is the same but the words are quite different, and carrying different connotations.
I've used SQLite quite a bit, and going by my experience, you're absolutely correct.

Not noticed the TikTok influence so much in the UK yet but this satement certainly rings true.

I think advertisers, like the media, are suffering a severe disconnect from the people they are broadcasting to. Over here a common theme is portraying the average family as mixed race despite the fact that the vast majority of UK families are not mixed race at all.

I don't believe anyone takes much offence from this but it has become something of a running joke.

Being able to change your email address is a known gap, sorry about that. For now if you want to use a different email you'll need to make a second account. We plan to make account merging possible in the future.

A short-sighted technical decision on my part: we use the Firebase Auth UIDs as our internal user IDs, but Firebase Auth does not allow you to have multiple email auth-providers on a single account. So we need to add a layer of indirection in our data model.

I could believe that, but implementing JVMs is such a very specific use case, far removed from what most programmers do day-to-day. Not just because it's a VM. Because you're implementing a pre-existing specification, so you're not at liberty to make your own design decisions around something like classloader semantics. It feels like a red herring example to me. "Here's how we should think about dealing with error conditions in 2022." "But what if I've got a spec that forces me to do it 1994-style?"

IME, it seems like most managers believe that you are supposed to serve them, which I think gets right to the heart of whats wrong in many organizations.
Yeah this is good advice, but it isn’t good enough for depressed people. Depending on the person the regular “long” or “medium” paths for dopamine to get released might be simply not available.

So, under depression, you can fight the uphill battle, finish that difficult task …and feel nothing at all. And then feel bad about not feeling good.

I don’t think there’s a single treatment to fix this for everyone, the solution needs to be adapted. In my case other happiness pathways and chemicals besides “task oriented satisfaction” were still open. (Sport felt good. Spending time with family felt good. Time in nature felt good. Healthy food felt good) So I “forced” myself to do a bunch of that. And that gradually unblocked my brain a little, and with some counselling and expectation management, I started feeling good about “doing things”. Still a work in progress.
Putting the gas into electric generators and using that electricity to heat is more economical than burning it in a furnace for heat, heat pumps are just that much better.

I agree that the national programme must be more detailed than just declaiming "heat pumps!" and calling it even.

For all the talk of SpaceX and a new race to Mars, no one seems to remark on the fact that rockets haven’t remarkably changed much since Goddard’s day.

I don’t deny he was an important figure in statistical process control and its popularization. I’m just saying he’s a bad example of a business school professor having a big impact. He was a statistician/engineer/physicist during WW2 who was very important to Japanese manufacturing. He had barely any business school experience when he did his most impactful work, and that was on teaching SPC, an American invention not made by business school professors, to the Japanese.

Your fantastical response imaging me “frothing” as a convenient trope to rationalize and soothe the cognitive dissonance of hearing things that do not conform to your disordered mindset does not provide a lot of confidence that you can have valid opinions on these types of matters. You’re not very impressive.
It is unlikely to propose these craft are ours because the basic science underlying the function of their propulsion system is simply undeveloped. You simply cannot hide developments like this from the greater scientific community. Quantum leaps do not happen in vacuum.

Even in the Manhattan project, in the unclassified public work there is active research in nuclear physics. Nothing of the sort is happening here wrt gravitic propulsion/warping of space time.

Floodgates open because in many of UAP encounters, witness testimony relay of telepathic communication initiated by the beings in the craft.

It actually is how the scientific method works. If something that is very unlikely is now true, the likelihood of linked events predicated on this should be re-evaluated because the priors have changed.
No not really. There is enough information that is easy to access that anyone who wants to can. If it's not convincing to you then changing your mind in this forum isn't a project I'm interested in right now.
TFL has been running all-electric bus routes in several areas of London since at least 2014 with no issues.

All-electric lithium pack buses are +10 year old tech. Nothing about this is experimental.

This is probably more likely an OEM fuck-up or whoever was contracted by the city of Paris to supply these buses.

> China is left out because the government behavior there for the past few decades has been to deprioritize climate change entirely.

China is left out because their per capita income is lower than romania.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...

And their per capita CO2 emission is nothing. Most of china's emissions are to provide manufacturing goods to europe.

> European countries are likely where this innovation will be.

Europe isn't at the forefront of anything anymore.

> Right now both the US and China are the problem, this has nothing to do with “white”.

No. The problem is europe. And climate change is most definitely a white problem. It was a result of europe's decision to colonize, genocide and industrialize. On a per capita basis, europe at near the top of C02 emissions. You don't get to live a 1st world lifestyle without causing environmental harm.

The idea that china or india or africa has to fix a problem caused by europe is a non-starter.

> Because for most people privacy on the internet isn't important. They either don't care it's being abused ("I've got nothing to hide"), or are OK with paying the price of giving it away in exchange for the services they get, and think are entitled to, for free.

The fact that "privacy" doesn't mean the same thing for all people isn't helping. Privacy fundamentalist use the same rhetoric and fundamentalism as Stallman does, where they use a definition of "privacy" which is disconnected from what most people are worried about when talking about "privacy".

Counting clicks on a button in an app (privacy fundamentalists: "spying") is far from concerning for most people while uploading their private messages, leaking their private pictures or having their coworkers read their messages is concerning. For an example of that, consider that in another comment thread on HN, the networkers were vehemently defending their right to reading anything and everything on "their" networks while still demanding privacy from their phones.

And as long as the definition of "privacy" is abused to harvest clicks and outrage, meaningful progress can't be made.

SANS: Security Policy Templates
Expert here. I'm a longtime lurker on HN, but registered just for this comment. I design aerospace pressure vessels for a living. As showerst alluded to, there are often things called "propellant management devices" or PMDs. There are a few reasons these might be used. In zero G, you need the propellant sump to remain wetted with propellant; it would be bad to ingest the pressurant/ullage gas into your engines. Some PMDs allow the pressurant and propellant to occupy the same volume, and will use surface tension devices inside the tank to direct liquid to the sump. These can be screens, vanes, channels, etc. In other cases, the pressurant and propellant are kept separate by a bladder. These bladders can be rubber, or even metal. The propellant mass is usually a large proportion of a space vehicle's mass, and you can't have that much sloshing around when you need dynamic control. A metal diaphragm keeps the propellant more or less static, and its center of mass in a predictable location.

As for the pressurant gas dissolving into the propellant in non-PMD tanks, I don't know enough about that. I imagine the solubility of He (it is usually helium) in these propellants is either accounted for, or negligible.

Edit: P.S. Software engineering is mostly foreign to me and much of HN content is over my head, but I like he level of discourse here. So, when a topic came up that I could actually contribute to, I jumped.
