My kid was enamored by math from the earliest age, and pretty good at it too. He read proofs for fun at about age 6, and was writing them for fun by 7. Calculation seemed to come pretty easy to him as well.

But he is slow! He did a bunch of cognitive tests where he was testing 3rd std deviation on most tasks. Except processing speed, where he was in the 2nd percentile. You'd present him with his times tables, and he would take 15 seconds to get "8x7"... but he didn't slow down as as the psychiatrist progressed through the test. He'd get to some 6th grade problem, and it'd be the same 15 seconds and blank look before the solution came out. He was an O(1) machine with a huge constant.

And school utterly killed his interest in math. From grade 2 onwards it was speed competitions and public humiliation in front of his class. After grade 3 he refused to do anything related to math outside of what's required because he was "way to stupid for that".

GTK 5 might drop X.11 support, says GNOME dev
It appears to be resistive when the electric part is being used, but looks like it also takes waste heat from a coal combined heat and power unit, and some other industrial heat sources.

I think the electric heat part is to help provide load balancing so theyre probably aiming for cheap and simple as it'll be used intermittently.

It is possible to have heat pumps at the other end of district heat systems, to let individual units pull heat from the shared source and also feed it back im when in AC mode.

very interesting theory... I used to attribute those choices to lazyness and "playing it safe", but your point is a reall possibility. I sincerely hope you're wrong though.
I wonder which great classics would those be.
First, the vast majority of OB/Gyns practicing are employed by hospitals. The hospital covers the malpractice costs for the Ob/Gyns / any other physician's employed [1].

OB/Gyns are making $336k total comp on average in 2022 (including salary, bonus, and profit-sharing contributions) [2].

[1] https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2019-malprac-prem-rep-601...

[2] https://www.medscape.com/slideshow/2022-compensation-overvie...

I am confused as to what your problem is? What exactly are you trying to articulate here? OB/Gyns are well compensated, and their insurance premiums are covered by the hospital. They are making above $300k/yr. :)
The worst is the fake regulation that is PCI. But I tried in a SOX audit to avoid buying new gear.

I hate auditors. Making sense doesn’t matter. Their interpretation of the control does. I do have a playbook of “how I meet X but not the way you want me to”, but lost that one. Probably spent more $ arguing than the HW cost.
I have talked about it on here before, but I genuinely despise the modern experience of going to the doctor. They spend the entire time asking questions from a screen, most of which I answered last time, while staring at the computer. It feels more like an interrogation.

I have also literally had my doctor google my symptoms right then and there, and the “I could have done that” feeling just doesn’t build confidence. Clearly it’s through the filter of his knowledge but still feels wrong.

Going to the doctor in the 90s felt way more personal, way more like they actually cared about you and your health. Sit down and just talk about what was going on face to face.

Like sure, maybe the modern way has better results overall? But it sure feels impersonal and I never leave with any feeling of confidence. I would have to imagine there’s a middle ground with similar if not better results.
To a company you need to pay those costs no matter what.

If the AC breaks at 3am it neds to be fixed. It doesn't matter if you have your own HVAC people on sight 24x7, your own people on call to service it, a local HVAC service to come in, or you outsource the entire operations and so you have no idea how that is handled. In the end the important part of this story is that whatever you are doing with the AC continues to work. Different operations demand different levels of service (I doubt that anyone keeps HVAC techs on staff 24x7, but if the AC is that critical it is mandatory). The only case where the CEO is up at 3am is if the CEO is the owner of the local HVAC service company, not the CEO of the building with the problem.

Once you realize that to management the cost is outsourced no matter what the only question is do it with your own people and HR, or outsource it. There are pros and cons to both approaches, but for most companies it isn't their business and so the only reason to do it in house is they can't trust any company they hire.
Do you have a source to prove this? I’ve only seen speculation on a few mailing threads.

I see no reference to “slave” in git, and the most common interpretation I see of git’s “master” is as “master copy”, a useful mental model.

I recognize that the common interpretation is distinct from its etymology, but given the nature of language, it’s probably the more important bit.
I do get your point, but if they have a fair amount of IBM mainframes, they are already renting their infrastructure. The mainframes have a culture of making you pay for operating system and other pieces on a basis of how much compute power you have "varied on". You don't really "own" a z-series box.

Are you sure about that? I know at least some number theory can help with quick mental calculations. For example, I remember that if the digits of a number add to 9 the number itself is divisible by 9. I'm sure there are lots of other relationships like that.

I posted this on HN hoping to find an explanation. I tried all sorts of calculations, including measuring my screen size to find how many centimetres 1 pixel is but couldn't make sense of any it.
If I knew a service or company I used were doing this, I'd take what data I can and delete my account. Good things rarely happen in a transition. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying what me, the user, has been trained to do for my safety.
I've been looking for something to create a map of the venue for an upcoming wedding. This seems to work out nicely. One thing I hope it adds on is the use of the arrow keys to pan around the map. When creating the polygon, it's annoying to repeatedly zoom in/zoom out to create the shape, where panning would be much easier.
>Do you have resting sad face? Or resting happy face?

Or a resting angry face.
It's not necessarily bad if you have someone amazing in charge of casting, but it's really hard to build a cast out of people who nobody has heard of who it turns out are actually incredible talents. Known actors are a known quantity in that regard, which is why it's safer to go for them. Normally you'd expect there to be some on a big budget project that isn't taking risks around quality.

The average annual salary for a plastic surgeon was $576k in 2022. And $60,000 is not $71,000. Still yet to see perhaps more than maybe 0.001% of clinicians practicing pay that out of pocket fully.
Closer than business as usual. The problem to get out of the current "long stasis" [1] is to find a new elementary particle or an experiment that can't be explained with the current elementary particles and can be refined to discover a new elementary particle.

They discover two new composite particles. There are hundred of composite particles, so it's somewhat business as usual. Anyway, most composite particles have 2 or 3 quarks, but the new particles have 4 or 5 quarks. So they are weird new composite particles.

Making calculations of particles made of a few quarks is very difficult, borderline impossible, so it's interesting to find new particles and verify that the current approximations for particles made of a few quarks are good enough or fix them.

Also, the approximations for particles made of a few quarks use virtual particles that appear and disappear. And some of these virtual particle may be a unknown new particle. So if the calculation is too wrong it may be an indirect way to discover a new elementary particle and escape the "long stasis". But I'd not be too optimistic about a groundbreaking discovery.

[1] I don't think it's a problem yet. The current "long stasis" it's overrated IMHO.
I agree that the feeling of immersion is at stake here (I feel this is why it was so off-putting to see Ed Sheeran in GoT scene), but I think this actually depends on the actor. There's so many that lack the talent or the will to mix it up, and consequently just playing themselves in roles. Chris Evans, Megan Fox, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Statham are some examples that come to mind.

Then there's others, like Daniel Day Lewis, Di Caprio, Ralph Fiennes, etc. who's roles comes across as being fiercely distinct and yet still utterly convincing.

This is a total paraphrase and possibly a mis-creditation, but I'm pretty sure Ian McKellen said something along the lines of "When you watch good actors, you think, they're a good actor. When you watch great actors, you actually believe they're a real person."
No even by Korean high school standards, he definitely had an unconventional path. Huh landing in Seoul National University is definitely a result of his pure, raw talent. But while it's not uncommon to graduate in 6 years in South Korea, I doubt anyone would have anticipated a Fields medal when he was rejected by all the US doctoral programs save UIUC. He is obviously beyond gifted, but he didn't take a conventional path to math.
Yeah I agree with this, most of the people I know that aren’t creative seem to have some emotional block or belief that it’s not their role. Often if you get past that they are incredibly creative

I can't mark individual messages for followup easily, so I have to leave entire DMs/groups/channels unread.. missing subsequent messages.

I end up in 50 different channels, 30 different DM groups and 20 1:1 DMs over the course of a week. Some conversations span 5 different channels/DMs as people are added/removed.. Outlook would just have one nice threaded email on the subject. Slack I end up with 5 little red dots on my channel browser pane.. it's a mess.

I've now had to institute a policy for myself on escalations that is - if it doesn't come through PagerDuty, it's not an incident or urgent. This in theory, by official policy is correct. In practice, this is like a union slowing down the trains..

hg is indeed the better tool. Just as microkernels are the better kernel design. By existing and working (which is no small feat), Linux obliterates both alternatives in the zeitgeist. This is, of course, the great downside to "worse is better".

Not very specific, but he says:

"In my parents' house, there were a lot of books: all the great authors of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, translated foreign authors. I spent my youth, and still today I spend most of my time, reading literary works, and particularly those of French literature."
Ask HN: LI Posts and Getting a Job
A lot of job seekers(#opentowork) are posting consistently on LinkedIn. Has writing and leading with voice, opinion helped land a job successfully?

Does it help get in view of hiring manager and recruiters.

If you are a job-seeker, has it helped you find the ideal job that you were looking for?

If you are a hiring manager/company placing candidates, do posts from candidates influence to know more about the candidate?
I had read LOTR just before the movies came out and I think Jackson did a pretty good job, although the books have a different feel with all the walking bits and the songs etc.

I agree 100% about The Hobbit though, the movie was pretty decent, but really feels very different to the book. I think this is expected though as they extended a pretty small book to an entire trilogy of films and adapted what is essentially a children's story for a far wider audience.
Because there's not wildly successful books with wildly successful movies about the amazing empires that ruled the African continent.

And it's hardly rewriting parts of LOTR to have a black actor portray Legolas. Everything is still the same except the color of the guys skin. You'll be fine.
The average for OB/Gyn is $43,000

But the vast majority, as I stated above, are hospital employed and so it is covered by the hospital. It isn't considered as part of the TC (total comp) that is reported by Medscape [1]. If it was, then the TC for Ob/Gyns would skyrocket to nearly $400k per year.

It seems just a promotion for the worst past and future GitHub features of the Microsoft period, starting from intentional confusion between git and GitHub.
If you look at discussions, you'll see that the actual decline started earlier, by some opinions as far as the end of season 4. The problem is that back then, it was not as clear that the series was declining - it could've been a super interesting new story thread or a new intrigue starting out. But now, with the knowledge that it leads nowhere, you can clearly see the problems starting out.

Also, of course, it's less fun watching the stuff now, knowing that it will slowly fade out into a bad ending.

I had a 7800 as a kid - it was weird playing 5 year old arcade releases but they were pretty decent. Much better than the previous generation of consoles.

It was a weird point in video games - my parents of course go into the video game/arcade fad, and now the same games were on the home consoles. So we liked the same games and we could actually compete a little bit.

The NES gave us things like Super Mario Brothers which was a totally new thing. Nobody wanted to play arcade ports anymore, but Atari kept pushing. I'm sure it was internal politics at play. My parents didn't like the NES controller and they were getting older so they never played anything on the NES except Tetris and the like.

Eventually the arcade ports made their way to the NES, and they were really, really good. Ms Pac-man was a little weird because of the level size and sprite size, but Galaga and Donkey Kong were perfect. But by this point we had Zelda and Tecmo Bowl and everything else, we didn't have to live in the past anymore.
I tried to get a permission to work from Sri Lanka. I would have brought them taxes and currency. The officials could not understand what I was talking about. Some hanged up on me and some told that straight to my face.
You make it sound like it's okay for the insurance company, a middleman, to decide someone's healthcare.

But insurance companies aren't collaborators. They rarely add to the process of making you healthier, they only take away options through denials. Seems silly that an insurance company allows a doctor into their network, then repeatedly questions that doctor's decisions (until you remember that insurance companies just want to make money).
Is it disingenuous to tell kids sticks and stones may break my bones but names can never hurt me?

There’s at least one company I knows of whose long term target is human life extension, and they’re bootstrapping with pets [1].

For me, it’s not that there are any unknown actors, it’s that every single one is unknown.

I like seeing “fresh” actors because they are unknown. LOTR had many unknown actors and lots who later went on to notoriety (eg, Karl Urban). But they also had some known.

My apprehension isn’t that there are any unknown, but that all are unknown. And I think that’s a bad thing for a $400M project.

Kind of like startups. I’ve met some great people who were working for their first company ever. I’ve also worked with some terrible people who didn’t work out. To get small funding this happens all the time. But to get $465M in funding with a leadership team that’s entirely new is unusual.
> Obviously it's more fun for people to assume it's been done on purpose & bash MS

I mean, it definitely is, but you also have to admit that it's very in-character for Microsoft to intentionally break stuff, just to push their own software.

MS Teams, for example, will pretend that Video calls aren't possible to do on Firefox. Until you use a tool like User-Agent-Switcher to set the user-agent to MS Edge and you find out that video calls and screen sharing work flawlessly.

Chrome works as well. With their browser essentially being a reskinned version of it, I guess even they considered it to be too unbelievable if they claimed that video calls couldn't be done in it.
Is it possible the reason it ended so badly is the same reason they ran out of material?

It's been 11 years since the last ASOIAF novel. I think GRRM may have written himself into a corner and is unsure how to tie up all the threads and satisfactorily end the series.
Medscape is widely regarded as the reputable source for physician salaries.

They do not consider hospital-issued / covered malpractice insurance as part of the TC listed on their yearly averages, hence why I don't think it should be made as big of a deal as it is being here.

I should say, these numbers affect private practices almost exclusively; and private practices are dying out/being bought out in droves.
I would expect it is just as much a hedge in case things go wrong. When your job is to steer the course of a company, it won’t look good if you crash and your hands weren’t even on the wheel
> But still, everyone remembers how hard it was to start out

I sure don't. I learned the commands I needed (branch, checkout, clone, push, pull and commit) and didn't step out of those bounds until much later. It's really no different than learning any other skill or platform. Nobody starts out a master, but that's no excuse to never start.
