I never said that poetry gets you to the moon.

But when you’re there - how do you cope with the heat death of the universe, or the loss of your close ones, or how do you justify being there? How do you find joy in your mornings, and how do you empathise with others, the living and the once-living?

That’s not as straightforward as it sounds. I bought a Roomba from iRobot last year that developed a nasty buzzing sound during the 60-day return period. I contacted iRobot tech support by phone and got hung up on. I sent an email and didn’t hear back within their stated 24-hour response period.

So I opened a dispute with CapitalOne, my CC company. They were very clearly not on my side. I had to fill out a form which asked for things like a letter from another retailer explaining why the chargeback was justified. I filled it out, included tons of supporting documentation including my emails with iRobot. (I didn’t do the letter, though.)

CapitalOne forwarded it to iRobot, who responded with a form letter that didn’t address the complaint at all. (Just “our return policy is XXX—my problem was that they weren’t issuing me an RMA so I could actually conduct the return… a problem I had clearly laid out in the complaint.)

Despite them not addressing my complaint, CapitalOne reversed the chargeback and sent me a letter that gave me something like 14 days to respond (iRobot had 60 days to respond, IIRC). This was over the Christmas holiday, so I didn’t see their letter.

I was very disappointed with the experience. CapitalOne wasn’t providing me the consumer protection I expected of them, and there didn’t seem to be a human in the loop. I did a search for an alternative CC, but didn’t find anything that seemed like it would be better. (I though the Apple Card might be a good choice, but apparently they’re getting a lot of complaints about the actual provider, which is Goldman Sachs IIRC.)

Fortunately, the complaint did bump my support request up to executive escalations, which was my original intention anyway, and it was eventually resolved to my satisfaction, including iRobot paying return shipping and even dealing with UPS losing the return package. I’m now the happy owner of a functional j7. FWIW, I think iRobot’s issues were more about staff shortages than any intentional malfeasance.

So everything worked out. But I’m still unhappy with CapitalOne—I had a good case for a chargeback, but they didn’t even read it before siding with the seller.

Long story short: chargebacks aren’t the panacea they used to be.
So the quote:

> Recycling remained inefficient and of dubious benefit, and never really caught on.

Linking to an article that, in your words:

> cites some data to say that recycling paper and metal does a good job

and

> the social good would be optimized by subsidizing the recycling of some metals

But also says metal mining and logging communities are against it because they 'have accepted the environmental trade-offs'.

Again, from within a certain bubble that may not seem contradictory and illogical, but it is.

Nor is cheaper ways of reducing CO2 a sensible argument. Every method of reducing CO2, except for one, has cheaper options. We should do all the ones that are a net positive, and so save us money, not only the very best one.

The whole article is weak sophistry of this kind. As I said, it doesn't support the argument, just does its best to pretend it does.
Yes, presuming the credit card company's "monkey behind the curtain" actually finds Dell culpable in this scenario. Despite ample documentation, I just had Chase side with a hotel that accidentally charged me when they couldn't honor my reservation and failed to issue a refund.
You can have two tracks of 1-1s. You do the layoffs and pick a lieutenant to do 1-1s with the stayers. They should be able to get through those much quicker so you can leave your go forward team with as little purgatory time as possible. I would suggest prioritizing that list by how worried you think they’ll be as an additional attempt at humanity.

One other note: you are transitioning company size. You were on the cusp of midsize and you are right back to startup. Make your choices accordingly. Even if someone was going to be great at 50->100 they may be the wrong person for 25. Keep the scrappy, true-believer do-ers. You’ll need them.
That's funny, because I've always felt the opposite when evaluating candidates. If a candidate comes in saying certs are "trash" and "pointless" it usually looks less favorable. It signals an unwilling to learn and/or strive for continuous improvement. Certs are not the end all/be all but they help round our your knowledge and open your eyes to things you never knew.

As far as side-projects and open source contributions, this is a two way street. When I look at side projects, I look for how well you are utilizing best practices in your code. If it's a sloppy, poorly documented mess it doesn't look favorably for you. If you use your side projects as a marketing tool they should be well-polished.
I addressed most of this in our thread. You might as well go back to that. Let me converse with this guy on his own terms.

Anyway in response to your reply. It's the same thing. Maybe another renamed example will help you understand. A LoggerSocket class is identical to a WrappedSocket class. It's a wrapper around a socket which is basically similar to a socket itself, so let me call it such.

In your method it's:

wrappedSocket1 = LoggerSocket()
wrappedSocket2 = LoggerSocket()

doStuff(wrappedSocket: LoggerSocket){
wrappedSocket.log("blah")
}

doStuff(wrappedSocket1)
doStuff(wrappedSocket2)

in my example it's:

wrappedsocket1 = Wrapper(Socket())
wrappedsocket2 = Wrapper(Socket())

doStuff(wrappedsocket: Socket){
log(wrappedsocket, "blah")
}

doStuff(wrappedsocket1)
doStuff(wrappedsocket2)

You see the equivalence? The amount of code is the same. The reuseability of the code is not the same as WrappedSocket is more general then LoggerSocket, but BOTH need to be passed everywhere, and editing the core methods/definitions of log() or LoggerSocket has basically the same effect

I asked a (great) boss I had once if we should get the legal department's opinion on something very minor. They had a great response, which was that nothing-- unless absolutely necessary by policy or significant risk-- should ever be given to them unless we wanted to wait 6 months for them to tell us "no".

YMMV based on the nature of issues your legal folks have to deal with on a regular basis. In our case, anything outside of standard contract review they had a reputation of being a nightmare to deal with.
I think that a lot of what we call racism is dressed up classism. If race A is poorer on average, people of race A will get treated as if they are poor--more likely to steal, more likely to break laws as they have less to lose. If race A is wealthier or the same, on average, the classism won't be intermingled in the same way with race.

Sadly, in the US, we have a terrible system where schools are locally funded, and poor people get poor schools. Under this system, socioeconomic class self-perpetuates.

Not the person you're replying to, but: Belgium. I haven't lived there for more than 20 years, but until 2000, one of their big issues were medical overconsumption. As in: there were too many doctors and specialists, and it was considered too easy to get medical attention.

But for those who needed it, it was fantastic. And the quality of care that I experienced there was on par or better with what I get in the US.

I don't think much has changed. I just went back, had a very minor medical issue, and within 2 hours after making my first call, I had see a primary care physician, who wasn't 100% sure, so she called in the specialist next door as well.

These are impressive numbers, but I wonder: Where did the crime go? Were most of these merely crimes of opportunity which got eliminated, or did some other areas see a spike instead?

Woman finds $36,000 in cash hidden inside couch acquired through Craigslist
Having lived there, in my experience it was mostly wealthy people and their adult children that lived there, and it was your typical upper middle class suburb. It's a boring, at least to me, monoculture compared to the two cities it sits between, or even New Brunswick. If you didn't come from money, it was an insular place to be. The people I knew, and myself, couldn't wait to get out of there.
Stop shilling
the thing that gets me most about all of this is that so many developers here believe, truly, that they are the only people on earth who can write certain things in code. and that because of that, their code is extremely valuable, and should never be found in the hands of another person.

Those same people put their code in public repos on GitHub, with permissive license(s), and don't opt-out of Github's use of their code for things like copilot.

Those same people are now mad at Microsoft because of copilot, and not mad at Amazon for their competing service which does the same things.
Perhaps you will find them someday.

Tell that to the people who continue to be put in prison every day for a plant that is far less harmful than sugar and alcohol

>Knee-jerking against articles like this is perpetuate harm by keeping people in the dark about the very real drawbacks of the drug. You can't make an informed decision about using it without actually know the pros and cons.

Even worse than that, you can't make an informed decision about cannabis when the government, scientists, and the media have been lying to everyone for decades, implicitly and explicitly, in telling them that cannabis is more harmful, addictive, and sickening than sugar and alcohol.

Correcting those lies and adding relative comparative context is not "knee-jerking", its promoting science which can save lives.

Why does that upset you so greatly? I'm not saying people shouldnt be informed about how/how not to use cannabis
this is a really great project.

if you haven’t heard of libnetfilterqueue, this is what it’s for. it’s really good. tremendous thanks to the author for introducing me to it via this project.

the main problem with libnetfilterqueue is that it doesn’t have pid information. you have to look that up in /proc or via a hashmap maintained by ebpf. either method has issues.

an unexplored alternative, afaik, is seccomp with userspace filtering[1]. then you get pid information and direct control of syscalls. this may still need to be paired with libnetfilterqueue depending on implementation.

Although the attention span myth is one of those things that is taken to be almost idiomatic, there’s actually very little empirical evidence for it.

There’s no such thing as an ‘average’ attention span, and even for those individual tasks it would be very much context dependent (where I’m sitting, what I’m doing at the time, my general opinion of the author, the mood I’m in).

It’s a nice story, and it will invariably generate a nice stream of anecdata in a comments section like this, but there’s very little evidence for it at all.
The article obscures that it was not human hunting that did in the mammoths, as it insinuates, but rather the comet strike c. 10,818 BCE that initiated the Younger Dryas cold spell, most probably by suddenly dumping hundreds of cubic miles of meltwater into the oceans and filling the upper atmosphere with soot.

This event took out some 30 genera in North America alone, including mammoths, mastodons, giant sloth and beaver, dire wolves, a bear bigger than the grizzly, horses, camels, and saber toothed cats, and also all hint of the then only 200-year-old Clovis culture known for its beautiful spearpoints, and still often blamed, as in TFA, for suddenly wiping out all these genera.

Fought tooth and nail by extraordinarily disingenuous opponents (one, a retired historian, still er... curates the Wikipedia page), it was finally established to the satisfaction of all scrupulous observers in 2018 with evidence from a layer of spiking platinum concentration, shocked quartz, and soot coincident on four continents, with proof of a continent-wide conflagration with no sulfur spike of volcanism, in stratigraphic cores from dozens of sites and as far away as South Africa.

It happened after glacier cover from the last ice age had begun receding 7000 years before, and sea level had already risen 40 meters (with 80 meters left to go, ending ~8000 years ago). The Younger Dryas cold spell lasted some 12-1300 years, ending coincident with construction at Göbekli Tepe in Turkey. (Other similar work found nearby predates that.)

We still have no crater to associate with the strike, which might have been an airburst like the Tunguska strike, or have left craters mainly in the miles-thick ice sheet covering Canada. (An apparent crater in Greenland under 1200ft of ice, if it is one, seems to be too old, although this is inconclusive.)

The real mystery is why modern humans waited from 300,000 years ago until the Younger Dryas to begin activities that would lead to civilization. We find evidence of uniform cultural practices across many thousands of miles and tens of millennia (painting preserved in caves from Sulawesi 45kya ago to Spain 22kya), ocean-going navigation >50kya (occupation of Sulawesi and Australia, never connected by land) and footprints in North America 22kya, mechanical drilling 40kya in a Denisovan bracelet, and ceramics in China 18kya.

The actual work, isotopic analysis of strata in a tusk, does not suffer from the flaws of the article exploiting it.

This seriously strains my credulity. What completely helpless human just sits there unable to work for SIX MONTHS not doing anything? What happened to the old computer, by the way?

> 1- They think the person who actually purchased the laptop is a literally child who has no conception of her actual rights in this situation

Took the words right out of my mouth.

People: if you order something, note the return period. If it shows up and is broken, fucking return it. If the company refuses to accept back defective property, tell your credit card company immediately.

Don't argue with them.

Don't debate with them.

Say "if you refuse to accept this laptop back, I'm going to start a fraud complaint with my credit card company." And then do it.

Don't sit there for months and play footsie with their tech support.

This is the key point.

Certs aren't good/bad, or helpful/harmful in of themselves. They matter/or not depending on what type of employment(if any) you are trying for for.

For instance, I never want to work in bureaucracies or places levels/layers/management complexity that they must fall back on certifications, skill checklists, and the like. So, I never pursued any form of certification. Not even a university diploma.
