The study you cite shows that "food insecurity" is associated with obesity. Not that it causes obesity.

Study uses questions like: “How often in the past 12 months would you say you were worried or stressed about having enough money to buy nutritious meals?”

By design, this study causes obese people who eat up their food supplies to be more likely to be captured by the study than their less consumptive counterparts, even with equal amount of available food.

I would expect someone who shovels enough food in their mouth to be obese to be the kind of person to spend more than needed for meals (or to end the meal with less spare reserve food), causing them to stress about their overspending. It's not much surprise an obese person shoveling down food is more worried about overspending than the skinny person not shoveling down their hatch until they are the size of Oklahoma. Eating 4000 calories of even the cheapest food like rice and beans costs more than eating 2000 calories worth rice and beans; of course the blimp-sized person eating the 4000 calories of rice and beans is going to stress more about the cost than the person eating 2000 calories of rice and beans.

Put another way, it makes sense to me a food insecure person might say "I will buy 4000 calories worth of rice and beans instead of 2000 calories worth of rice and beans because I am food insecure, then I will save the difference in case food is inaccessible later." An obese person will then eat all 4000 calories and stress about being out of money, and become "food insecure" via this study by answering they're worried. Whereas the skinny person is not gonna stress as much, because they still have 2000 calories worth of rice and beans after their meal is done, and thus be less likely to be classified "food insecure" by the question of this study. That is, the study is designed to capture the obese person as being more food insecure even when they have same food availability of the less obese person.
Ban devices from their room. Apple devices have really good parental controls.
I remember an issue that it's security model involved trusting the client. If you exported a file system to a PC, somebody could reboot the PC with Linux to get root and ignore the user permissions.
I’m all for letting the market sort this out. Provided that a market exists in the first place. With mobile OSes that’s hardly the case. We need regulatory legislation that curbs the power that platform owners like Apple wield.
My bad, I meant the Oculus Go.
IIRC they're being extremely inefficient with the water because they don't pay for it. Fix that and the problem solves itself.
There isn’t an issue with starting companies in Europe as much though - Skype, Nokia, Booking are examples. The issue is they don’t stay European owned. US companies buy them out because they run out of ability to grow.

FAANGs have European offices with work councils and all and aren’t considered unproductive, but they’re not the corporate headquarters because they didn’t start there.

Certainly some European countries prefer having a few old large companies because it’s easier to regulate. Asia has the same problem; it’s an everywhere except Silicon Valley thing.

edit: actually, ASML is an example of a European headquartered tech company where all the value is “actually” American. Not sure how that happened. Video game studios also seem a lot more international than other tech companies.
What about food? For people to eat?
Google tried putting devs in charge and it didn’t work. It’s obvious too. Devs have such different incentives to owners. They want a nice place to work and play with fun tech and pad their CVs. They can leave at any moment too with zero concern for what happens when they’re gone.

Employee equity is usually not enough to be worth fighting for. It’s just the ability to pay less salary or get good people.
I tried to order some fabric from a major, national purveyor of fabric early in the pandemic to make some baby quilts. The experience was not seamless. After they canceled 60% of the order and bungling the shipping on the remainder, I found I could not get unsubscribed from their coupon list.

Turns out, company press releases have live email contacts on them, and if you write a sufficiently fulminant email explaining that you'd like to never again hear from their employer, they'll direct it to somebody who will get you off the email list.

Worth a try?
WTF Nextdoor? Over 130 clicks to disable email and push notifications?
> On the other hand we have Apple. A company with a 14% market share in the mobile market that has restricted Facebooks ability to track users outside of Facebook.

A detail I don't find insignificant - they haven't restricted facebook at all. They put the option to the user. I don't see it as Apple's fault that 80-90% of users prefer to opt-out.
I think when people rail against cancel culture they’re actually railing against victimhood culture.

It’s clearer to me if framed that way, what’s being complained about.

Everyone angling to be framed as the victim or deprived unjustly.
You clearly have an axe to grind and there's no point in me wasting more time discussing this with you. Good night, and good luck.
Beware, you may need to do a significant amount of sysctl tuning/mount option tweaking to get fast NFS performance over high latency networks.
My side project for the last while was pretty similar to what you're describing, and as a result I've become very familiar with this "esoteric stuff". If you're hiring, I'm interested :)
> Issue trackers like Trello or GitHub issues are fine for creating a dumping ground for ideas but not for organizing.

There’s an argument that you should use an issue tracking system for tracking issues and not planning. Features and stories don’t necessarily neatly subdivide into tasks and issues. Issues don’t always neatly fit into a story or feature.
Yep. Buy the cranberry farms. Residential water usage is a drop in the bucket.

There seems to be two main use cases for a room-sized air purifier:

If you live in a polluted city or are affected by wildfires, having a box fan-sized model is almost a necessity. It is going to be noisy and unsightly but undeniably more effective. Having a few furnace filters laying around for air quality emergencies is probably not a bad idea.

For day to day use in a low pollution area, where dust or pollen is the major concern, I really like the little 120mm fan purifier. It runs 24/7, unobtrusively, and is really effective for what it does.
audits are only valid for that one instant in time when it was performed. anything could have changed after the fact.
More lightweight/comfortable headset would be my other requirement.
Typo-squatting popular Go Gorilla toolkit on GitHub with “gollira”
Your reply cited Butterick which doesn't distinguish the two issues. Every "authority" I've seen strongly admonish against the use of two spaces fails to make this distinction. Which is why I emphasized it.

I don't think there's much dispute that two spaces is too much in modern properly rendered prose, so I don't know who "we" is. (And anyone who does think two word spaces is just fine, would probably also agree that it should be configurable and not dependent on two spaces in the source text.)

If there's a text renderer out there that renders two spaces as two word spaces in prose, that should be patched, not writers' brains.
Won't that just worsen famine caused by Russia?
Yes, companies are not democracies. That's why we need unions! That's the only way to exercise our collective power to negotiate with the employer on more equal terms. When we negotiate individually we also say "here are the things we want, and that is our condition of work." There is _always_ a conflict between what employees want, which involves wages and conditions, and what employers want, which is getting the most work while yielding the least in wages and conditions.

Unions in tech are as possible and necessary as unions anywhere else. Nothing about being it tech makes us "special" and the whole mythology it does only serves to keep us from organizing and solidifying our conditions and strength.
After years and years of traveling - if it can’t fit into a really small “school size” backpack I’m leaving it behind.

Laundries are everywhere. Toiletries are everywhere.

And in a pinch you can do a wash almost anywhere.

There is an amazing feeling walking past the people at the baggage carousel waiting for the bags to even come off the plane — while you’re heading outside to grab a taxi.

The feeling is palpable when you’re checking in and the attendant asks “where is your luggage” and smiles knowingly when you point your thumb at your shoulders.

For travel, minimalism is underrated and most of the stuff we take we usually never use.
Jira is terrible until you try other tools for managing dev work.

> we're junior-heavy already

even if you didn't have 4h unpaid assignment, that one would still make me think a lot. Junior heavy possibly signals what the management doesn't treat/value people well (not surprisingly that 4h assignment really dove tails with that), that work is full of unnecessary self-inflicted death marches, that the management isn't capable to recognize/utilize/value the senior technical experience/skills, etc., so that only junior ones who need experience and don't yet know better stay there.
Try moving the farms to states with water.

Alternatively, if you truly believe in the free market, start charging agribusinesses the same rate as residents for water use.
This is an overly theoretical description of a single potential benefit of web3.

How many people—even very technically skilled ones—read smart contracts in their entirety? Launching a crowdfunding platform backed by a smart contract should give it zero credibility by itself. Unfortunately, we popularized the idea that a smart contract equals zero trust equals you can actually trust it. None of which is true.

We moved even further away from that with upgradable contracts. Where is zero trust there? Yesterday’s Solend disgrace is a very clear proof of that.
>I would still need to pay for a cloud provider.

Exactly. Once again the free market to the rescue.

Price the water based on supply and demand and watch how much more efficient farmers get.
Yup, and I find I need rice in ultra humid environments still.
There is no reason to floss twice daily. This doesn't even really make sense - what would you be flossing out in the morning upon waking?

Flossing once per day is plenty.

You also need not use a 'rubber pointy thing' - proper flossing goes just below the gum line and will get everything you need removed.

Super agree that you should get an electric, though. Heck, I switched from an oral-b to a phillips sonicare and my staining improved enormously, but that's really just cosmetic. ymmv.

Little macOS Apps That Make a Big Difference in 2022
Having some kind of salary range in the initial post is very helpful, or even knowing early on in the process(recruiter screen) what that might be. If I think that there is even a small chance that I won't get a number range until my part is done in the interview, then 99/100 times I won't even apply.

When you say "benefits and salary are good" I literally have no idea what that means or what the frame of reference there is...
Well, perhaps labor relations in the U.S. are just so acrimonious- its history is literally soaked in blood and violence- that it's just one patch of grass of Europe that seems greener on the other side. Certainly the idea of more cooperation between labor and management, perhaps the German model of labor unions, wouldn't be so bad.
That's really interesting. Thank you for sharing. It certainly works as an explanation of my own experience. It suggests the cure is to spend a while doing things on a scale too small to fail, recalibrating one's sense of connection to output, and growing from there. The challenge might be finding a task small enough that success is very probable, which is simultaneously large enough that one cares whether it is accomplished.
>I did give her an old laptop but when the link to "her email" webpage was moved by the ISP she got the error message "It looks like your page has been moved." Innocuous enough error message right?

>But this caused her to freak out as clearly "someone" was watching and knew what "her" page was. Ergo "someone" was watching her on the internet. So she turned off the laptop and never opened it again.

>On the one hand, she has mental health issues including paranoia. On the other hand, she wasn't wrong!

I would call this an accessibility issue, and a failure by the ISP to maintain access for someone who has trouble adjusting to changes in the user interface.
I'd be skeptical about using the Amazon link in the article for the same reason.
You must come from an alternative reality because all that V achieved in terms of popularity is a big initial uptick of GitHub stars and donations obtained thanks to straight-up, no-discussion, clear-as-sky false advertising.

When it comes to sponsors and donations, V is far (really far) from the best in the category. Not to mention that Zig has a proper non-profit foundation, which is a far greater achievement than GitHub stars or even sponsors.

All your comments in this thread are in disagreement with reality to the same absurdist degree of conspiracy theories. And of course you yourself can't help but point out that everything is a conspiracy against V, which is laughable.
The average teacher salary according to the Ministry of Education is $99,000 (total comp). They are contracted for 196 work days; 6.5 hours per day, equalling a rate of $78 per hour.

Developer salaries are harder to come by, not being officially published in a cohesive form, but levels.fyi suggests a median income of $147,000 (total comp). In my opinion, levels.fyi skews towards big tech, ignoring the little mom and pops that pay peanuts. Other sources suggest the average is closer to $80-90k, depending on who you ask. In the interest of fairness, I'm going to pick the largest number I can find.

Again, not having officially published data, contractual terms are hard to establish, but I think it is reasonable to assume that most developer jobs will expect somewhere around 2000 hours per year – your typical 40 hour work week. In my experience, this is the norm. While I see a growing number of places that allow fewer hours, they come with a commensurate cut in pay. This puts the median developer at $73 per hour.

It is recognized that median and average are not the same, but given the distribution of teacher salaries, median and average should be close to equivalent. For all intents and purposes I think we can consider them to be equivalent in this case. It is not like there is a teacher on the payroll making millions to skew the numbers or something. The pay bands are known.

So, we're in the same ballpark. Within a few dollars of each other. But, as before, I won't be surprised if there is variance across locations. Pay scales can differ significantly from one place to another.

Probably the darkest UX pattern I've seen in a while... It's not spam per say so I'm not sure if this can be reported to the FTC, but it sure is a dirty move. Whoever designed is either evil or had was forced by an evil organization who would do anything to make their stock go up after a rough SPAC introduction.

Does anyone know if this can be reported to a public agency?
The gratuitous nature of it doesn't bother me as much as the issue that dentistry doesn't seem to have arrived at the 21st century yet.

If you break a finger, the orthopedist doesn't usually give you a finger canal that removes all of the nerves, blood vessels, and bone marrow and replaces it with some kind of resin composite.

Though I guess they are into expensive and horribly invasive hip and knee replacements.

It seems that minimally invasive dentistry is a thing - hopefully it will catch on.
Now you're just being rude.
For tech I've always liked AnandTech (and I prefer articles over videos).

You'll die without enough salt, and prior to modern prepackaged food, and over salty snacks, and over salted restaruant food, you needed salt in your diet. Badly!

If you want to eat healthy, and decide to cook all your own food, be prepared to use more salt. You'll need it compared to that prepackaged food. Especially in the summer, when you sweat more.

Failure to do so may leave you craving salty snacks, or lacking in energy.

So food in 1911 needed salt for your good health!
Companies are incentivized to do this because investors and advertising partners want assurance that what they're buying gives them access to real users.
Agreed. Take-homes we’re greatly preferred by our candidates with families because they could be done on a weekend or in their spare time.

I’m also a parent of small kids with a busy schedule. Despite the packed schedule and demands of raising kids, it would be a huge exaggeration to suggest that I couldn’t find 4 hours of time to do a take-home if given a week of time (as is common).

The parent commenter might have been operating under the assumption that take home challenges must be done same-day, which kind of defeats the purpose of a take-home. If you’re demanding 4 hours of same day time, might as well bring them in for a 4-hour on site interview.

Strangely, few people complain about a half-day on-site but it’s literally the same time commitment. If you really have no other options and you literally cannot find a spare hour of time in any way, take a half day of PTO and complete the interview just as you would for a normal on-site.

No it doesn't, it can only be set on init.

I'm working on turning around a site that's been up and steady for about 5 years. there's no less than 6 different various 'helper' 'foundation' libraries, helper libraries, utility libraries, libraries that don't get used anymore. All interpolated into a mess.

This whole thing is developed by some rotating cast of developers on contracts, who have no interest in maintaining anything long term, and so its just piled up and piled up. Technical debt doesn't exist when you will leave the project for the next guy.

Anyway... we're making progress against it slowly but it's really frustrating because our website is loading so much crap and untangling it takes forever. Half of me wants to throw the whole thing out.
Free flowing table salt was first invented in the UK by adding up to 3% phosphate salts with sodium chloride. Legend has it that a Scottish pharmacist tried to fortify the condiment for his daughter by blending calcium phosphate with rock salt and serendipitously discovered it's anti caking properties.

A company named Cerebos was formed in 1894 to mass produce the salt. To market the novel product, they went with the image of a boy chasing a bird whilst trying to pour salt on it with the tagline "See how it runs", referring to the old wives tale that one can paralyse a bird by putting salt on its tail.

http://cosgb.blogspot.com/2010/09/cerebos-ltd.html

The brand survives to this day and remains popular in the commonwealth countries, although the original phosphate based formulation is no longer used due to both cost and potential health effects.

I have no idea how right the author was about how Nord got ahold of the residential IPs. I was able to recreate the technical results, and noted at the time that the OpenVPN connection to the same Nord endpoint behaved differently (and, indeed, Disney+ blocked it).

Of course, that was a while ago .. long enough I assume my notes no longer reflect the current state of things. It'd be interesting to try and recreate it with the latest stuff, but all of my VPN providers accounts have lapsed by this point.
