Yes, you're right. There's no middle ground between "3 hour morning training on using the Western Union console" and "fintech antifraud executive", none at all.
This study is not correct. In the army we trained in 100F and 100% humidity for weeks at a time. It wasn't pleasant but 50,000 soldiers get put through this at Fort Jackson every year.

Perhaps when the study claims that young people can only survive at 87 degrees they are averaging healthy and unhealty/obese people together to get that number? Anyway, they are certainly incorrect as it is just a fact that people work just fine in much higher temperatures than this study says is possible, for long periods and with no negative consequences.
I've been on the other end of that story quite a few times - being the person having to point out that "this isn't going to work even for normal loads", and having people argue that caring about performance is "premature optimization". And then see them crash and burn because of the arrogance of not testing their assumptions before betting the farm on them.

I think the path of least conflict is usually to encourage people to develop quick benchmarks and test their assumptions and then ask questions about how they plan to address any problems that identify themselves. If people are receptive another useful piece of advice is that they shouldn't be afraid of just starting over if it is really early in the project.
That's an important distinction, but I think it's getting more common to post for positions you have filled so there are resumes available if someone takes flight. Resumes don't mean someone is available either.
Clojure was among the highest paying jobs (or maybe even #1?) in the recent StackOverflow dev survey.
War is a symptom of various causes, like over-population, changing geographical conditions, and just plain old greed. It is not a root cause. If humans had no bloodthirst we would still wage war, so long as we had a will to survive (something which would be difficult to take out of a lifeform).

The actual article only asserts that military innovation is a predictor for social complexity, which is pretty different from saying that "war makes society complex".

> “Nobody likes this ugly idea because obviously warfare is a horrible thing, and we don’t like to think it can have any positive effects.”

The implicit assumption being that a more complex society _is_ a good thing, which is not clear to me.
The UN would have to keep guns and other weapons because they have to enforce the no-weapons edict. Sure a realistic side effect is that the UN assumes an ever increasing level of power. But that is just the side effect of utopia.
As content producers yank their content from other streaming services to start their own, the good content is being dispersed over a larger number of services so the average ratings of each are going to go down. They hope their good content will be enough to get people to subscribe, but I have my doubts.

I recently switched from Netflix streaming to DVD because it was going to cost $15 per movie to see some movies I wanted to watch on Amazon Prime (the only service that had them). Plus, I hated trying to find even a half hour of TV I wanted to watch at night on either Prime or Netflix: I usually spent 15 minutes trying to find something, then 5-15 minutes of watching it before realizing it was terrible. And if I did find a series I liked, there's always that nagging feeling about whether they will cancel it abruptly without a decent ending.

With Netflix DVD, I only get around 4 movies a month, but that's 8 hours of entertainment and I wasn't getting nearly that from the streaming service.

> Wouldn’t that just cause a massive amount of confusion over what was legal cash and what exchange rates are?

In practice, this has never been a problem, when it was tried historically.

What typically happens is that the different vendors standardize on a common unit of account (eg Pound Sterling in Scotland or Canadian Dollars in Canada, both of which were defined as a particular amount of some precious metals).

Typically issuers will redeem not only their own notes, but also accept other vendors notes at par---as long as that vendor is known to be solvent.

(The US was an exception to the latter, owing to their widespread bans on banks having more than a single office.)

The situation was pretty similar to how bank accounts still work today: if you have a dollar in an account at bank A, bank B will typically accept a transfer at par.

If someone is trying to pay you, you only need to know whether your own bank accepts the notes in question (or respectively whether your own bank accepts a wire transfer from their bank).

> One of the economic strengths of the US is its unified currency which has been poorly copied by the euro.

That was also a global strength during the gold standard. Common acceptance at par is enough for this. It's not necessary for everyone to use the same brand of currency.

George Selgin's book 'Good Money' is especially interesting. It's about Britain during the Industrial Revolution when the Royal Mint refused to mint enough small coins for factory owners to pay their staff. So some factory owners made their own coins (redeemable in demand into Pound Sterling).
Cheap panels’ output drops as temperature goes up.

I hadn’t thought of it until just now, but that should flatten the duck curve.

Another way to flatten the duck curve is to buy smaller inverters and more panels.
Thanks for your perspective.

FWIW, my comment was made in good faith to help the author create a better impression with folks who are steeped in those two technologies. At the same time, I can see how it can feel pedantic.
If all you need is atomic compare and swap of a word-sized integer; you can probably find that without a mutex.

If your structure is larger than your architecture can do atomic compare and swap, then you'll need something else.

Mutexes usually give you a mechanism to wait for held locks as well. Often without spinning, sometimes with some degree of fairness.
Crypto feels the shockwaves from its own ‘credit crisis’
Keynote somehow always looks amazing, but is also pretty limited compared to power point.

Having said that ... it also gets the same job done so being limited maybe isn't so bad.
100% agree with this. I've seen plenty of devs who type a couple dozen characters in a session and spend the rest of their time clicking around on IDE prompts. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I've seen newer devs become completely crippled if their IDE misbehaves. And it's not uncommon for them to have very little understanding of the project structure because their IDE abstracts most of it away.

It also promotes a pet peeve of mine, which is programmers that can barely type. I know plenty of people will yell at me saying that doesn't actually matter, but it's wild to me in a profession where typing is the primary way you interact with your work that so many folks can barely manage a typo-ridden 60wpm
I can see this
Neoverse is a mobile chip based on putting massive amounts of aggregate power vs die area. It's not a flagchip architecture because it's very conservative as far as execution goes. It just lumps stacks of cores on a single die and lets the OS/workload dictate the performance.

In comparison an X3 is a much faster chip clock-for-clock per watt on a per core basis because it's built for ultimate ST performance on a power budget. X3 has a full 6-way decoder vs 4 on Ares. So straight off the bat you can decode 1.5x as many instructions. X3 has a 320 entry ROB vs 128 on an N1 so you can keep over twice as many instructions in flight. An N1 has 3 ALU pipes, an ALU with MAC and DIV, and two FPU pipes. X3 on the other hand has 4 ALU, an ALU/MUL pipe, and an ALU/MAC/DIV pipe. On the FPU side it has two FMAC pipes and two FDIV pipes.

The X3 is a much larger and more powerful core than an N2 little alone an N1 and deserves to be called a flagship core in every sense of the word.
JetBrains IDEs ask you whether you want to submit usage data on the first startup, and honor your choice. You are not watched if you don't give an explicit, opt-in permission for that.

Love this book. It's so important to allow children feel their feelings, allow those feelings and let them pass through them. A tantrum is a cry for help: what do they need, sleep? food? just to vent a little bit? The more you push those feelings down the more you grow. However, it's important to honor your own needs for quite and peace of mind too. If you're having trouble because you need quiet and peace, you can express those needs to your child. They may not listen but it's good for them to know. Kids are much like adults. When needs are expressed well and non-violently with sound reasoning and released expectations they often get met.

Sony and Amazon both just did a new round of invitations that stayed up for quite a while. PS5's are a lot easier to get than they were a month ago. Xbox's are even easier, and you can actually find graphics cards selling below list price.

I don't think gasoline is going to be cheap again any time soon, but the limited supply of PS5, Xbox and graphics cards is pretty much over.
Songs and poems are easier to remember, at least for most people.
A lot of HR people still don't know the difference in 2022, it's quite common to see job ads listed as Java/Javascript, then you only find out when talking to them they specifically mean one or the other.
Few Lessons from My Dog
> Why does everyone act like a free product not being everything for everyone is some kind of moral failing?

Probably because the free software movement is making (very vocally) it a moral failing that all software should be free. If all software must be free, then all free software must be everything for everyone.

Decline the transfer. You would be surprised on the latter though - people have walked their family through the scam, "No, I still think it's probably legit", even gotten police involved, "ma'am, these people online are scamming you", "But what if they're not?"
Like wire transfers (IBAN)?
>What the hell is up with prices?

We deliberately raised the gas prices to punish Putin. Gas prices affect the price of food due to shipping. Food prices affect the price of software due to eating. Don't worry, it's all under control. We will soon fix this by printing more money, prohibiting gasoline cars and making people eat insects for protein. Meanwhile, we suggest you weather the storm by investing most of your money into cryptocurrencies[1].

I feel PowerPoint + Microsoft had to legitimize presentation software as a standard business piece of software first though. Maybe Hypercard was too early in that regard then.

It doesn't, but that doesn't really matter. There are many legal things that are immoral.

Everytime I try out a new framework, I end up just switching back to Rails because "wow, I could do this all so much quicker in Rails...". Part of that is just a decade of familiarity, and part of that is the maturity of the framework.
Part of it is clarifying the claim. Is it "some positive effects" meaning some subset of all the effects being positive or "overall positive effect" meaning the sum of all the negative and positive effects is positive? The first one is pretty simple, you just need to find one positive effect. The second is much more difficult and requires making judgements of the relative size of good and bad effects which is much more subjective, and I could see someone's view of subjective waits making it impossible for this to ever be true.

But both views still require deciding if something is positive, which isn't exactly a scientific question. It is a bit like asking if evolution has positive effects. From a purely scientific view, is life or increased complexity of life a positive?
I really enjoy this series. I feel like it is one of the few stories that really explores what it would like to be an uploaded mind without a significant amount of handwaving. There's still some sci-fi elements to it but they seem believable.

> People keep telling me that writing auth myself is a bad idea, and creating truly secure auth is really hard.

Yes the problem these days is a lot of commercial providers want this to become "common knowledge" and for it to be "best practice" to use their systems. But what happens if Okta has a data breach and you don't even know if your users were affected? (This happened)

I strongly believe in rolling your own auth:

1. It keeps it simple

2. You control the data that's a critical part of your system

3. Okta and Auth0 are giant targets because they have so many peoples' creds - you aren't

4. Even if you do use something like Auth0, you still need to implement authorization somehow. Of course, there are people who want to sell you solutions for that too...

Use libraries for the underlying primitives like bcrypt and JWT's. Do the rest yourself. Keep it simple.

Oh, and keep it simple.

The one good reason I've seen recently to use third party auth services is because they often support MFA. But how many companies actually need that? I've worked for a bunch of companies over my career and the amount of times I've had to implement/add MFA is 0.

> could have a similar societal impact by eliminating many jobs and concentrating wealth in the hands of the owners of the manufacturing lines, although this would seem to be a self-defeating outcome as fewer people would be able to purchase the output

Not necessarily. It could enable a more radical reversion to something like a palace economy, where political and economic power are fully concentrated into an elite and away from the people, who are then made dependent on gifts from those elites for survival and comfort.

People nowadays concentrate on money like it's something fundamental, but it isn't (e.g. Putin can be richer and more powerful than all of us, without owning a kopeck). Money is only a proxy for prestige and power in our current social system, and other systems are possible.

Some of the most loved languages like Elixir, Clojure and Rust are fairly modern and powerful and fun to use. But they are also scary. Elixir and Clojure are functional languages, Elixir runs on a niche runtime, Clojure is a Lisp and looks foreign to people who are used to more common syntax, Rust has functional concepts baked in and is known to be hard to learn initially.

Unfamiliar + hard to learn = scary. Which leads to less overall popularity when it comes to actual jobs.
I think it also depends on the type of therapy involved. There is a thing called intellectualization [1], which sounds similar do the thing you described. This is actually a coping mechanism and therapy should work to mellow or remove it and allow you to live your emotions.

AI tools and machine translation would result in the propagation on the internet of new prose, purportedly in Scots, but in fact synthesised based on the constructed language of scowiki.

I don't get Kotlin's position in rankings like this one. I've heard people say, "oh, for new Android apps, you definitely want to use Kotlin." And (I asssume?) people are writing lots of new Android apps.

But this methodology has Kotlin at 0.35% of jobs! And for that matter, Swift is not much more, at 0.38%. Why are these flagship languages for large ecosystems (Android/iOS) not more in-demand?

Well, it's difficult to verify; as a survey participant you can enter whatever figure you want; and even if it were true, the sample size is very small to conclude anything reliable. Measuring the number of jobs advertised is more objective; and with a thousand or more jobs, the noise component should also be sufficiently low.

Actually <pedant> it rotates 366 times, because each noon-to-noon it rotates 361 degrees. Just returning one face to the sun adds about one degree because of the earth's motion around the sun, and so adds exactly one rotation each year (each complete revolution around the sun) </pedant>

> making armed conflict almost impossible

As China and India have demonstrated recently, this is not the case. Firearms are not the source of conflict.

I also question whether you truly mean all firearms would be banned as it would not be possible to enforce this ban without your UN-controlled authority possessing firearms. So this is yet another proposal for only the government to have a monopoly on weapons.

Saying summer is hot when people die from heat stroke is about as constructive and considerate as saying water is wet when people die in floods.

IANAL but I think countries have different thresholds before VAT applies, so as long as you're below those thresholds, maybe you're ok. But I as well have been wondering about this.

Update:

Great advice I got 30 years ago was “the job of the manger is to eliminate ambiguity”. This single sentence has really helped me figure out how to do my job.

At first I though this meant make everything clear for your team and shield them from random crap (this twitter thread is a great example of this). But I eventually realized that this advice works both ways: done send ambiguous signals to other stakeholders either.

So did the Hobbit calendar: http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Shire_Calendar

Basically make "Mid-summer" or "New Years" days that are outside of months (we could have something similar if Feb 29 wasn't part of Feb or March) - Tolkien's version had the extra days also not be part of the week, so you'd have Monday - Yule - Tuesday for example so that a given day of the month would be the same weekday each year.

Downside - if your birthday fell on a weekday, it would always fall on a weekday, forever.
