No, that's not at all what I'm saying. I'm saying that if someone seated next to me is allergic to my pet (or for whatever reason doesn't want to sit next to it), then they could relocate either me or that person so that we're sufficiently far apart not to cause any issues.

The argument presented to me in the past (and also the argument in comment I was replying to) is that since some people are allergic to pets or otherwise dislike them, we should completely disallow traveling with pets in a blanket fashion. I'm simply saying that I think that's too extreme and that a middle ground can be found.

If we're going to completely ban pets on airplanes, then we should consider also banning flying with a cold because of immunocompromised people (in fact this is perhaps more warranted given the severity of the situation).
I'm the same. I fully expect all my side projects to be interrupted / paused for months at a time. This for me this does include a ticketing system, version tracking, rationale documents, wiki etc aren't optional for me.

Some of my side projects have more process around them than my work projects because the side projects will definitely get shelved at some point and resumed much later. Future me is always happier when the process was applied.
I agree. Plus, politics (internal) will inevitably start taking up more and more of your employees time.

10+ years working with US startups. Proven track record from MVP to acquisition. Early-stage/founding engineer preferred. Let's talk!
You don't need plastic bottles either... you can use glass ones... and a lot more plastic bottles are produced and thrown away than plastic straws... and they usually come with plastic labels, wrapped in plastic 6packs, on a pallet, wrapped in plastic wrap.

You could easily replace that with a glass bottle in a reusable plastic crate.

I've seen quite a few videos of flood waters carrying waste down some random (usually asian or african) rivers... didn't see a lot of straws there.
After that, it's big-boy tools like mentor or cadence. These are overkill for hobbyists unless the man is paying for your seat.

I've heard that the really expensive EDA tools are like Adobe Photoshop --- everyone experimenting/learning tends to just pirate them, and then end up at a company which does pay for them.
> men don’t want promiscuous women as long-term partners

Men don't think in those terms. Promiscuous means quicker (and easier) to filter.

> fundamentally people desire long-term partners

Why? Because 2 people are stronger than one and as you get older, you start to be painfully aware of that. If you can find a best friend who shares your short term goals, long term goals, life standards (like cleanliness, similar views on drug use, gambling, etc) AND is also interested in you sexually, you probably have a good long term partner.
I have only had good experiences so far on JLCPCB. I can very much recommend. Quality boards for very cheap, plus you can actually get the parts pre-assembled if they have them in their catalog (most common parts should be there) It's weird to "shill" for a company but I'm very happy that they exist, and hope they and companies like them continue to exist.

Plus Kicad is cool ;)
Do you have any experience using inspection in languages with which you are familiar?

The Python one, for example, looks like this: https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html

It’s pretty complicated to walk a Python AST — lots of new concepts to learn, not very intuitive compared to the language, and even harder to use if you want to modify the tree. The Python one is one of the nicer examples!

In a lisp like language, the language syntax itself is the same as the data structure syntax. Because these two universes align, you can do clever things with the language because it is as easy to thing in terms of the language syntax tree as it is to write code in the language itself. It makes it trivial to create new domain-specific-languages / meta-languages that make it faster to write code to solve a particular class of problems.

There are two downsides though. First, it is cumbersome to get used to writing you program in a data structure. Certainly not as cumbersome as, say, writing it in XML (like the language XSLT does) but still pretty cumbersome.

Secondly, the allure of meta programming means that it’s very easy to create a code base that isn’t intuitive to another programmer, even if you both have a lot in common already. You might define a handy log function that you use a lot called “chip”. The other person had the same good idea for the same good abstraction and they called it “twig”. You get used to writing chip a lot. They do the same with twig. It feels weird to use each other’s paradigms, even though you were both correct in abstracting out this clever logging thing that was lacking in the standard library.

Lisp ecosystems suffer from this a lot. Moving between codebases is like moving companies, each with a time consuming onboarding process relating to the house style.

Contrast this with Python where there aren’t that many Python implementations that have wildly divergent standard libraries. (MicroPython springs to mind as the only example, off the top of my head, as something that looks like standard Python but is missing some key things.)

I self promote with content only. I guess my face is on LinkedIn and my personal blog but it don't do videos or talks. In the weekend I just pick a topic in terms of software to blog about. Spend a few hours on that and then pay someone on fiverr to promote it. It an easy way to ensure companies and clients keep finding me on Google. It also always gives me an edge on the job market. Try it, what's there to lose?
NYC dared to tackle its crime problem and clean up.

I don't think that'll ever be possible in California.
Not at the moment. But I'll keep that in mind as things progress.
people here do not understand that a for-profit company seeks to avoid or minimize tax, and that simple flipping of (appreciating) assets from a non-profit and back could be used extensively to avoid tax ? and that the IRS specifically precludes that, in the articles of non-profit incorporation? not "selling t-shirts or anything else in line with the mission" but held assets? there is some term I am missing, and I think Commonwealth countries are also taking turns here.. there is too much distance in the points of view .. there have to be some assumptions unsaid
"I'm heartened to hear what you have is 2k lines, it will make a re-write much less painful if it's needed :)"

My takeaway was that they successfully identified the small essence of the problem ("It's DAG, stupid!") and wrote a relatively few but intelligent lines of code to solve it. And they have gotten pretty far with the implementation.

God does not require rewrites of such.
You can progress to highest IC levels as someone who wants to work with their hands directly on code/issues (saw that myself at 2 different big tech). But it’s harder and more one off.

Reason for that is simple - in most areas you can achieve more, if you can properly guide dozens of engineers than lock yourself in the basement. Main exceptions are crazy specialized perf gurus.

I don't know anything about the person or the org, but there's clear difference between "attempt to profit" which was the accusation and "getting rich", both in that one requires success and that one can come before the other. And from the other reply to you stating a six-figure salary it would seem he is profiting, even if it's a perfectly reasonable amount.
I use the Johnny Decimal system (with Zim Wiki). In 30 years of trying, it's the best personal knowledge management I've ever used.

All these note taking tools missed out on the straightforward categorization that the Johnny Decimal provides. And it's a big one.
* I read a lot of technical books. Designing Data-Intensive Applications was a favourite. I dove deeply into technical books on the language I was using at the time - C/C++. That knowledge carried over to other languages I later learnt.

* I read a lot of non-technical books. Don't underestimate how beneficial it is to expand your general knowledge. Be open to new ideas. Engage in discussions with people, but don't be arrogant. It can be tempting to think you know everything, especially when you read a lot. Books can teach you a lot about the human condition, helping you connect and collaborate better with others. Ultimately to be a good programmer you need to be able to work with others.

* I was genuinely curious and played around with Linux a lot at home. I got pretty good at writing bash scripts. When shit hits the fan, being able to bang out a bash script to quickly fix some data issue can literally save the day. Also knowing where things live on Linux can be super helpful when debugging services, or just getting your dev environment set up.

* My first graduate role was doing mostly C, as well as C++ on fairly barebones Linux devices. Knowing C, understanding memory allocation, concurrency (mutexes, semaphores), man I can't overestimate how useful that has been. Having this understanding means you're just way ahead when you need to learn another language. It all carries over.

* Don't neglect the human/social aspect. Be the kind of developer people love having on their team. Be generous, be kind, be humble. A smile can go a long way in this world. You'll be paid back many times over.
I moved From Philadelphia during covid to Maui and then I purchased a home outside of LA 10 months later when I realized just how boring island life is.

My only real issue with Cali is the insane capital gains tax which is why I cashed out most of my gains before becoming a California resident. Now that I'm here my salary went up by 1.6x.

I work remote so the gas prices don't bother me. Car registration is a write off so it's really 66% of what it actually is.

I could have retired at 34 almost anywhere else in the country but decided I'd rather ride the tech salary bubble for another 5-10 years in a place where the jobs are super plentiful.

I don't really mind what this article is saying. Just means less traffic. When the bullet train from LA to SF is complete in 10 years I'll be able to get to SF in 3-4 hours.

The thing I learned about living on both coasts and Hawaii is that corruption exists everywhere. You'll never escape it. The people that go into politics are largely grifter psychopaths and you'll never escape that.

In many ways living in Cali lets me completely ignore politics because my vote on a national level is largely irrelevant.

If you care about taxes so much why did you pay 18k to move instead of just renting a UHaul for a fraction of the cost and driving yourself? I mean jeez my 300 cubic foot container from the east coast to Hawaii was only 4.5k.

For the record my withholding on a W-2 went from 29% to 33%. All in all with the salary bump I don't even care about the slightly higher taxes. My healthcare plan here is already better (lower deductible for same price) and from what I can tell unemployment in California is better so if I do lose my job or something happens I feel like I get a better safety net. I really don't know what you're talking about as far as infrastructure goes. The state is the only place in the country building new train lines right now as I type this.

You should see some of the bridges in Philly. They are falling apart.
Unearthing ancient Sudan’s powerful, complex past
By that "logic" birth control does too.
You can’t get parallelism with just async/await. Concurrency yes, but as soon as you want to run two async jobs at the same time you take on all the complexities of threads again (because that’s how you actually get parallelism).
TIL this seems very promising, thanks for sharing!
Just to add to your comment:

> Rick & Morty is high fantasy sci-fi comedy

It's also full of meta commentary of the world and society from the perspective of the writer through the medium of sci-fi.

> The Witness is a environmental puzzle game with light environmental story telling.

It's also contains a lot of _ruminations_ about perception and the mind.

Reverse Logistics Recycles Waste
New and thriving industry is called Reverse Logistics where companies buy at a discount your unusued products and recycles them for future use.
It’s funny because I get the magic impression from c++ but not from rust. Stuff like copy semantics in C++ is so absurd. Rust is explicit and by design not particularly magical.
Ah, so the same as a software developer at a mid-size government agency?
Abortion is absolutely an issue of personal autonomy which deserves Constitutional protection. I hope this ruling can help serve as an impetus for reform. We really need a Constitutional Convention, but an amendment would be progress.
Farmers can always use organic fertilizers if they want.
You're correct that that claim doesn't make sense, but then it's not one I made.
Don't most people hold that "two wrongs don't make a right"? In Hindu view abortion no matter the reason, except to save the mother's life, incurs strong negative karma.
Just going to pick a single nit.

> you don’t want your project to end up like the Linux codebase with 3000+ TODOs dating back over a decade.

Why don't I? TODOs capture a lot of context that would otherwise be inappropriate or unseen in a comment. They're in all caps and they stand out and draw the reader's eye. They can be completely out of context, whereas comments are typically extremely contextual. They often help explain cases not covered, paths not supported, missing functionality or notes for future contributors. Splitting them into even more comments just makes them harder to find and reason about. When you're writing a TODO, you don't want to stop to smell the roses, thinking about what the future may hold, you just want to blot down the thought in your head and finish the task at hand.

Not to mention that in reality it's quite reasonable: https://livegrep.com/search/linux?q=TODO&fold_case=false&reg...

You be the judge.
And your software will continue to have memory safety issues.
Seems like the places that make it work have a long aisle fenced by store shelves so it's very obvious.
Another to add to the group is Vlang (https://vlang.io/), as has strong interop. It has the focus of being an alternative to C/C++/Go.
So you are also against IVF?
You are trying to reduce human mind to one bit: broken/working. Humans have strong general intelligence and therefore are capable of solving many different tasks. There are many different tasks in the world where different characteristics may be useful in addition to pounding nails (though if you are a hammer, it may be hard to imagine) The existence of screwdrivers shouldn't be considered a disorder.
The Siri integration was icing on the cake, as was "Remind me when I talk to...". OF had pretty decent integration, but I couldn't step out of the shower and ask my Homepod what I need to do today.

A shared to-do list with my wife was the real killer feature.
C/C++ have proven themselves impossible to write in a secure manner at any useful scale. The evidence is overwhelming.
There would be less congestion on that day, but the total fee amount would be roughly the same.
Where's the money go? Voters. California loves its populist bullshit. The majority of the California budget is already allocated via all sorts of enticing ballot box measures that are powered by unfunded mandates. There's comically little discretion involved. Per Prop 98 K-12 education is the single biggest chunk. That sounds great until you realize that on lean years you can't cut K-12 funding at all.

In my lifetime, “parentheses” has been the canonical way to refer to () in the US. “Brackets” is an umbrella term that can describe one or all of (), {}, and [].

If you’re in a context where only one of the bracket types would normally be used, you can just call them “brackets.” Since many people never really use [] and {}, “brackets” casually refers to ().

To disambiguate, you can call () “open brackets”, [] “square brackets”, and {} “curly brackets.”

And for the cherry on top, {} can be called “curly braces.” That’s my preferred term for them. But it’s awkward to call [] “square braces” and () “open braces” :)
It makes sense. Same thing happens with antibiotic resistance, for example. It costs them energy and nutrients to develop and maintain resistance capabilities. Previously resistant bacteria may become sensitive again if exposure to the antibiotic ceases. The logic is they will be wasting energy duplicating and expressing useless DNA and proteins whose only purpose is dealing with antibiotics that are no longer present, so getting rid of them increases fitness because it frees up resources for other purposes.

Bacteria evolve frighteningly quickly.

This is a huge political gift to the Democrats going into November but that aside, the world is a very different place than it was in 1973. Back then long distance communications were expensive and knowledge of services available outside of your local area were very limited. Pretty much everyone in 2022 has instant access to information about family planning clinics coast to coast. Social groups that want to assist will have a much easier time of it than they would have in 1973. The threats of states to make abortions that take place in another state a criminal offense are unlikely to withstand Constitutional challenge, with the conservatives on the court being the biggest defenders of the right of each state to set its own laws without interference from other states or the federal government.
The constitution also has no right to privacy, but I'm willing to bet given that you're posting on a throwaway account that you believe privacy is rather important. Or would you be okay with the Supreme Court completely eroding all privacy laws because it doesn't exist in the constitution?

The right to abortion is something that was ruled as something between a woman and her doctor to decide. Not the federal government, and not state agencies. Frankly there are already plenty of laws and guidance in place that the drum beating against Roe v Wade is purely powered by hysteria and not facts or logic.

Crime is out of control in every city in the country. I left Philadelphia for the same reason. That said there's always the suburbs so I don't understand why it's specifically a whole state problem.
The first of those papers (mostly about a different drug with similar pharmacokinetics) is a review paper mostly about experiments on rats, though it does also include some results on ADHD patients, and the second one is a meta-analysis of 48 experiments, specifically excluding experiments on ADHD patients.

It's not literally false that "the studies specifically refer to ADHD patients", because they do refer to them in order to explain that the results they're reporting are not in ADHD patients—in the first case, primarily; in the second case, at all. But your comment is crafted to create the false implication that their results were limited to ADHD patients. Either that is a knowing lie, or your claim to have scanned the papers is a knowing lie and your false implication is merely reckless disregard for the truth.

— ⁂ —

The first study you said you scanned, Spencer, Devilbiss, and Berridge 2015, is about the effects of amphetamines and methylphenidate in rats and healthy people, and how that relates to their usefulness for treating ADHD:

> A major breakthrough in our understanding of psychostimulant action was the
demonstration in 1980 that the cognition-enhancing and behavioral-calming actions of
psychostimulants are not unique to ADHD, with similar effects seen in healthy human subjects
(11).

> This and subsequent studies unambiguously demonstrate that when used at low and
clinically-relevant doses, psychostimulants improve prefrontal cortex (PFC)-dependent
behavioral/cognitive processes in human subjects with and without ADHD (11-15).

In the summary, it concludes:

> Low-dose psychostimulants are the first-line treatment for ADHD. At clinically-relevant
doses these drugs improve frontostriatal cognitive function in ADHD patients and healthy
individuals.

> The procognitive and behavioral calming actions of psychostimulants are in stark
contrast to the behaviorally-activating and cognition-impairing effects seen with higher doses.

— ⁂ —

The second study, Ilieva, Hook, and Farah 2015, is titled, "Prescription Stimulants' Effects on Healthy Inhibitory Control, ...A Meta-analysis." Here "healthy" means neurotypical, i.e., not "mentally ill," specifically including ADHD diagnoses as "mentally ill" and excluding them from "healthy". They explain, "Research on children, elderly, criminal, or mentally ill patients was excluded," elaborating, "Twelve studies failed to meet the criteria for eligible participants (mice: n = 1; elderly participants: n = 6; children: n = 2; mentally ill participants: n = 2, including one study on ADHD and one study on cocaine abuse; criminal participants: n = 1)."

— ⁂ —

In short, you are telling baldfaced lies about the studies I'm citing, as easily shown by the most cursory analysis (in the second case, the title of the paper), in order to continue posting vile calumnies against my integrity.

I do not think you should post any more on this site.
